#I need someone to write this STAT

[stephforl1fe]

You know what- I am TIRED of batfam fantasy aus with Damian as a dragon or Bruce as a vampire!

Like yes I understand logistically it’s most fitting but come on let’s get creative! I am tired of searching and searching for a fic that isn’t: Damian-dragon, Jason-wearwolf, dick-mermaid, ect.

I think it’d be fun to play around with species soooo this is MY submission on what I think a cool dynamic for a fantasy au would be

Bruce: either human or a shapeshifter creature- i think a fun dynamic for him could be that he doesn’t have a clue that his kids have magic and have hijinks or have it be like when your kid comes out as gay so you do as much research as possible, like he’d be overly supportive

Dick: I think he’d be SICK as an angel or demon- extra points if you have him being originally human but he died after the circus act with his parents and came back as an angle or demon somehow

Jason: as much as I actually like werewolf Jason I think this man could be really good as gargoyle- I just think of all the fics where his favorite spot is next to the gargoyles and that it’d be cool if he had some kind of manic connection with them maybe from the pit??? If not a gargoyle I don’t think we get zombie Jason enough.

Steph: an human witch- humans aren’t typically capable of old manic witchcraft but Stephanie is doing her damn best! She’s constantly making up her own types of spells to cause chaos or blowing up her room when an ancient ritual goes awry.

Tim: a poltergeist- usually ghosts aren’t seen just like how Tim for the longest time felt forgotten or not seen, he eventually found out how to move and touch things and over time the residents at Wayne manor noticed the little shadows occupying their home that would take photos of them.

Cass: dragon- I KNOW I said I wasn’t a fan of the dragon thing but I think it could be fun for Cass. Most of the time dragons are big and powerful and loud but Cass is known for being small and sneaky and quiet- no less powerful of course. She always lends a scale or two to Steph for any spell she needs and takes her claim on the bats VERY seriously.

Duke: light elemental- I feel cliché saying this but I don’t read enough Duke to put him as anything else. I think he’d control light with his hands as though he was reflecting it off a mirror, occasionally you can find him just faceplanting on the ground outside because he gains power from the sun.

Damian: faerie or harpy- I so often see him as some big scary creature but I think it’d be such an interesting story to see him portrayed as a more small and friendly known species like a fae only for him to be tough as a nail. As a most fae he has trouble with hoarding tendencies and GREATLY enjoys playing tricks and deals on people- Tim once made the mistake of shaking hands with him in a bet and shudders anytime the memory is brought up. Being a far could fit his character well. He’s small but strong in his own way and god forbid you cross a fae especially a tricky one

your not stupid never say that, its just hard. Frankly i could never dream of makeing mods like that myself, keep up the good work

I like being stupid tho (jk I get what you mean)

[flockrest]

     In the wake of everything, he tries not to think on it.

     Between the excitement of an all-important mission handed to him from ages past and the all-in-all companionable trip home with a great friend, it's easy to bury beneath a buncha other thoughts. Then it's lost to the breath-stealing thrill and honour of being bestowed, like, the best thing Tulin could ever ask for — somewhere in all that wonder and resolve, in those moments of skies-high confidence, it becomes like every other noteworthy thing 'bout him: a point of honest pride.

     Then Link leaves, the flock tries to get their whole nest back into proper order, and the Windlines shift.

     He's distracted, initially, by their very present and very real need for food. The cold snap may have melted away, but their supplies are still bare and the main bridge from their peaks to the outside is still, y'know, gone. By the time he's done hunting and foraging and scouting and investigating for Link where he can on any given day, the moon's yawning hello to the stars and he's too beat to brood over anything for what hours of wakefulness remain.

     Eventually, when the threat of flock-wide hunger passes, he tries throwing the thought aside with training.

     Lots and lotsa training.

     The Great Eagle Bow is an awfully heavy thing compared to his once-favourite Swallow Bow. It's hefty enough to foul his flight the first time he tries his usual manoeuvres with it, and the draw weight has to be slackened an embarrassing amount before he can actually shoot anything. It’s frustrating, like he’s back to learning how to glide right when he already knows how to soar, but it's also a familiar tune — one Tulin dances along to well as he works towards adjusting to the load, the nock-and-pull, the release, the flip-and-catch.

     He gets the hang of it before Dad even deems their food shortage fixed.

     There's more to be done, of course. Always more to be done when it comes to mastering a bow like this. But his progress slows enough that he looks instead to the Windlines; to Tulin's Tornado; to his sage's power and the Secret Stone.

     Turns out — it makes trying not to think on it really, really hard.

     The Windlines are a battering force 'gainst his wings, squalling to flow elsewhere, fighting and railing at the path he's laid for them in billowing currents that would definitely toss him away if he let them.

     Good thing he won't! Tulin's focused, his will sharpened to a point he rarely feels so completely. He stays centred in those Windlines, pushed up and up and up, and for a second, it feels like he really might do this. A Gale he's been wanting to recreate, a Ferocity he's been wanting to command for ages — closer than ever before with the Windlines so palpable to his every sense! With the tempo of his Secret Stone practically at one with his pulse! With—

     With a tailwind he never realised was always there.

     "Ah—!"

     Feathers scattering, he lands with a solid thud and a flare of pain. It's nothing— it's nothing, falling is a part of any getting-better process. He knows this — he knows this very well — but as Tulin lays there, gasping, riding out stings and aches of his own making, a voice emerges from the depths he's shoved it down into and suddenly, it's everything.

     He remembers nights like this. Remembers how badly he chased after success of the highest heights, how he fell with no witness but the Windlines and skytrails, how he picked himself up with the voices of heroes prickling his heart and bolstering his bones.

     Most times, it'd be Dad: cutting a stern figure in his mind's eye, firm and warm in his faith. Get up, Tulin. You can do it.

     Sometimes, it'd be Master Revali: a foggy, dim touch, poised and sure where Tulin isn't. Get up, Tulin. I don't see why you can't.

     Other times, it'd be Mum, or Master Kaneli, or the memory of Link's smile.

     Tonight, after all he's tried to not think on them and the complicated things they make him feel...

     It's his ancestor.

     Get up, Tulin, he hears in those mellow tones. My brave fledgling. My precious descendant.

     With how fast his heart's going, he's surprised it doesn't beat straight outta his chest.

     It should be an honour. It should make him feel honoured. It should make him feel like the luckiest Rito alive to be related to someone so important, someone so clearly powerful, but—

     Tulin's never needed luck.

     Tulin's never wanted luck.

     Maybe there was a time when he wanted things to be easier, to just happen, as all kids do. But he's proud to say that every wild, amazing thing he's learnt and gained and done ever since hatching — he strove for with his own wings, seized with his own talons, honed with his own spirit. He earned those. Before all this, there was no question of that. Yet now, as he moves to push himself up, as the words echo unbidden and unwelcome—

     Get up, Tulin. My precious descendant.

     He hisses beneath a strained breath, "I'm more than that." Thinks it, fiercely, over and over: I'm more than that. I'm more than that. I'm more than that.

     His wings are trembling. There's something pinching the back of his throat. He reaches for Dad's voice, Master Revali's voice, anybody's that could drown out this new one that’s etched itself a memory within him — and falls short.

     ( ...Aren't I? )

I ONLY NEED A FEW KIND THOUGHTS TO THRIVE. Anyway I need a place to log this idea in case I forget.

IDEA 1 : It's either an rpgmaker concept or a table top game concept. Yume nikki themed surreal game where 4 characters go through dreamy trials to fight for personhood. The four characters would have a species/object known to the dm and their trials would let them discover who they were (examples i remember: a pet, a mirror, a piece of art, a toy, demon ect)) but one of the players is a ghost that used to be human. The players should slowly figure out what they were previously by the end of the game when the winner is revealed.

IDEA 2: more standard yume nikki fangame. In my mind it's called 'Sheepish Kill.' Only options are to externalize pain with violence or internalize pain with depression. No dialogue. Should be indulgently goth and edgy.. Though the plot in this idea is so loosey goosey that it is less a game idea and more a vibe.

In both ideas there is a strange 7-11 pharmacy they could buy healing items at, a dorm to rest at, and a caretaker of main hall.

the sheepish kill girl could just be an npc in the table top game. That is how I imagine it usually..

The writing gods have deemed me unworthy therefore have stripped me of my ability to write anything this entire week. I’m in agony.

Wordcount of the day: 961

Added 458 to Ch100 WiP before work, but while at work decided to go a different route from a certain point, so copied what I wanted to keep into a new doc and did another 503 from that point. Things started going towards a direction I wasn't sure I wanted to go yet, so I'm sure the process will repeat itself a few more times until the chapter is complete.

I know I already have a bunch of WiP's, but I've been in the mood to write something short and sweet. Just no ideas on the who or what. None of my saved Pinterest prompts are jumping out. I want to do something with fluffy cuddles, and most of the ones I have saved are Bakura-level sarcasm.

BTW since I just mentioned my terrible garbage dmbj naming stats code, I did at some point also use it to get some stats on what people call HXZ and Xiaoge. I didn't share those because iirc the Xiaoge ones weren't super interesting (he doesn't have as many nicknames) and while trying to come up with the HXZ ones I realized that the merebear translation was NOT doing a literal translation for him so the interesting bit imo (is he being called Hei Yanjing or Hei Xiazi more) was mostly being hidden in translation. So I could share those but it feels like inaccurate information to pass on

You only looked away for a second, reaching into your bag to put your book away, and the next your son was screaming. Your head snapped to look at the field and you spotted him in the outfield, clutching his arm. You were out of your seat the next second and charging onto the baseball field. You beat the coaches there.

Steven was wailing, though you could hardly blame the six-year-old, and you felt like your heart had stopped, listening to him in so much pain. Clearly he had been hurt, but he had no obvious signs of injury other than the fact that he was clutching his arm tightly to his chest.

You tried your best to soothe him, calm him down, but your own fears had begun to cloud your mind. If it was not broken, it had to be a sprain. There was a lingering sense of dread, of fear kicked into overdrive, but if it was a break, then at least that was not life-threatening.

Your first instinct other than to comfort your child was to call your husband. You first wanted to get Steven into the car so you could get him to the hospital, so you tucked your phone into your pants pocket and helped him to his feet.

“I know it’s really painful, baby, but mommy is going to make it better, okay?” You attempted, “Do you want me to carry you? Can you walk?”

Steven finally took a long intake of air, cheeks damp. He huffed in a few more unsteady breaths in, his lips in a large pout. The hazel in his eyes was exactly like his father’s.

“I can—I can walk.” He said, face scrunched up.

You admired how strong he was being, but you wanted to wrap your arms around him and never let go. You helped him to the car, trying to position his arm against his chest with the elbow bent without causing any more pain.

“We’re gonna go to the hospital now, and I promise it’ll make you all better.”

You were overly thankful that Steven had been in the hospital enough to not be afraid of it — from picking up his father, to the odd days you needed to drop him off before the end of your husband’s shift so you could get to an early meeting, leaving him in the caring hands of one of the nurses.

Steven was still softly crying when you called your husband, and you found yourself unbelievably annoyed when he didn’t pick up. He nearly always did, always panicked that something might have happened. You hated that was how he reacted when you called him at work, but to be fair, you usually only texted him about things. The one time you actually needed him to pick up? Voicemail.

You tried to calm your own frustration, knowing he was likely in a trauma or something equally serious. Despite all his faults, he never ignored you on purpose.

In the waiting room, you found yourself relieved to see Lupe running registration. She recognized you instantly. Her eyes flickered from you to Steven’s tears.

“I think he broke his arm,” you told her, frowning, “can you get Jack? I couldn’t reach him.”

“I think he’s still in Trauma-1, but I’ll get someone to bring you back right away, Mrs. Abbot.” She nodded, disappearing into the back.

That explained it. Whatever he was doing, it was life threatening, but you still felt antsy to tell him.

It was Collins who came through the door within the next minute, eyes scanning for you. Looking at the time, she was likely rounding out her shift, but it was good to see her. She smiled when she saw you, before looking down at Steven and frowning.

“Let’s get you two into a room,” she said, ushering you into the back with her. “I’ll put him down for an x-ray, but I’ll go see about getting him bumped to the top.”

“Thank you.” You smiled at her. Oh the perks of being married to Jack Abbot.

Collins parked you both in an open room, mentioning someone would be in shortly to start some pain meds while she worked on getting Steven to x-ray. A figure passing by stopped short and stepped into the room.

You greeted Robby with a smile. You two were no strangers, Robby occasionally coming by your house to hang out with Jack. He took one look at you and another at Steven, and panic invaded his calm demeanor.

“Broken arm, I think,” you told him quickly, so his mind didn’t run to the worst case scenario. He was much like Jack in that way.

“Hey, buddy,” Robby said, stealing Steven’s attention. “Can I see your arm?”

Robby assessed your son gently, before ordering intravenous pain meds and administering them.

“Heather is trying to get him into x-ray.”

He nodded, “Jack know yet?”

You shrugged, “I heard he was in the middle of a trauma.”

“I’ll go switch out with him,”

“Thank you, Robby.”

He waved you off and disappeared out into the hall.

—

Due to a mild hiccup, Jack had come into work earlier than usual — missing his son’s baseball practice that evening. He went when he could, but he tried to never miss a game. The Pitt seemed to swallow most of his time, but he never let it steal those moments with his son.

After clocking in, he was thrown right into a major car vs pedestrian trauma, but he fell into it with practiced ease. The buzzing phone in his pocket made him a bit on edge, but with gloved hands soaked in blood, he did not even think to answer it.

It took forever to stabilize the pedestrian who had been hit, but they finally were wheeled up to pre-op and he discarded the bloodied gown. He reached into his pocket to check his phone, finding two missed calls from his wife and a voicemail. His stomach churned uneasily.

He stepped toward the charge desk to put a chart away, glancing up at the board out of habit, before turning toward the staff lounge so he could call you back.

Wait…

His eyes snapped back up to the board, scanning the names and stopping on his son’s.

Steven Abbot.

His heart lurched into his throat. Fuck. He saw the room number and turned, only to find Robby next to him.

“Hey, brother,”

Jack barreled past him toward Central-8, heart beating wildly against his ribcage. He hadn’t even checked what prognosis sat besides his son’s name, or the level of severity, there was just pure instinct to be with him.

Robby jogged to catch up with him, “He’s fine, he’s fine. Broken arm. Was just coming to get you.”

That settled some of his fears, but worry bled through every pore. The one time he did not answer his phone…

His wife’s face did wonders to soothe him, as did the fact that his son was sat back and playing on his wife’s phone, arm in a sling. He released a long breath.

“Dad!”

Jack wrapped his son up in a hug, careful not to put any pressure on his arm.

“Hey, buddy, how do you feel?”

Steven gave a toothy smile, “Better after Uncle Robby gave me medicine.”

A relief washed over Jack’s features, eyeing the IV in his uninjured arm. He kissed the top of his son’s head, turning back to Robby just as Collins stepped into the doorway.

“They’ll be taking him next,” she said.

“Thank you, Heather.” You said.

“Don’t mention it.” She told you with a smile. “Just glad the little man is okay.”

Robby and Collins departed, leaving just you and Jack with your son. You typically were rigid around screen time, but felt being in the hospital was a perfect time to be lenient.

“I’m sorry I didn’t answer—”

“It’s fine, Jack,” you told him, grabbing his hand from the gurney. “I know you were busy. Besides, you couldn’t have done anything on the phone anyways.”

He frowned, “But you called and I didn’t answer. I could’ve—”

You sighed, “Had it been more serious, I would’ve called an ambulance, or tried to reach out to Robby or Dana or whomever to let you know. Our son is okay. Let’s not focus on the what ifs.”

Jack sat on that for a moment, before rubbing the back of his neck.

“You’re still a good father, Jack.” You said, as if you could hear the thoughts racing through his head.

His hazel eyes snapped to yours, taking you in.

“I mean it,” you said in the silence. “Don’t let your mind trick you into thinking otherwise.”

“I love you.” Jack said, not fully knowing how else to put his feelings into words. His gratitude, his care, his love.

You smiled easily, already understanding what he meant, all he meant, “As I love you.”

He leaned over to kiss you softly and you smiled against his mouth.

Steven made a sound of disgust, shielding his eyes with a soft giggle. You laughed, moving to kiss your son’s forehead. Jack’s heart swelled.

The x-ray revealed that his arm had been broken, likely by falling on it wrong, but it was not serious enough for surgery. That fact relieved both you and Jack tremendously. Just a quick pull to put the bone back right and a cast for five weeks.

“So what color would you like, Stevie?” Jack asked, sitting down beside your son. “They’ve got blue, yellow, pink, green—”

“Green!” Steven yelled happily.

You chuckled at his excitement over his cast.

“Do you think everyone will sign it?” He asked, toothy grin wide.

That ‘look on the bright side of things’ definitely came from you, Jack thought with a smile.

“I’m sure they will, bud.”

Sure. But I wrote a long reply to this and tumblr ate it.

Basically, at what point would you be willing to?

Think about it for real.

I have had situations growing up where I had to think really hard about this for scary reasons. I won't elaborate.

But like

I think most people would imagine a scenario where they would temporarily live as a different gender to survive. Like if you were in a situation where another woman were in danger of violence and you could save her by disguising yourself temporarily? You probably would. But if the government makes women working illegal would you get a job pretending to be a man? How far would you go? Like on the spectrum from you would do it to avoid sexual assault or trafficking in your immediate vicinity for a few hours or days or you would work online from home and use a male name and a photo and a different voice? What if you had to use a camera and filter? What if you had to work in person? What if it wasn't a danger of physical violence but someone offered you like? Your dream job? Or a ton of money? To perform as a drag king? To delete knowledge of your biological sex from the public record? To be a sex worker but as a different gender? Like what if someone said I will give you ten million dollars to have sex with me as a man like a man I'm only attracted to men. What if you fell in love with that person and they fell in love with you as a man? What if magically you woke up with all your memories in this world and you're a different biological sex would you transition? What if you were raised as a different gender and somehow found out as an adult that your biological sex is actually not the one you thought it was? Like your family and doctors lied to you your whole life, and you never saw anyone else naked? What if you grew up knowing one parent would love you more if you were male? What if you grew up raised as punished for showing gender based characteristics? What if you woke up outside of your body and they couldn't put you back in your body but an alternate timeline just had someone experience brain death but they are biologically male and have been their whole lives and you can go back into their body or be a ghost?

Like? At what point do these things distress you? Or make you feel like you would feel a significant quality of life drop?

Like some people think I have DID. So the idea of being non binary distresses me because in whatever I have going on I have different headspaces that are not meant to "front" and I conceptualize them as other people I have a telepathic bond with who exist in the real world outside of my body, either in their own bodies or they exist in the sense that they are not human with a body and able to communicate with people who summon them. Like spirits. People don't understand why the idea of those people taking over my body and "fronting" is distressing to me. But some of those other questions? I know I would be willing to be in disguise as male for some things. I have done it before. I started as a young person because of my mom bullying me if I showed gender characteristics and other people bullying me more if I was feminine. But when I was a young girl I had a female friend get into trouble with a man. I was able to help her because those men thought I was a boy. And as a sex worker men have offered me a lot of money to have sex with them as a boy on the phone. Probably there are scenarios where I would be willing to do that in person if I could change back. There are definitely jobs I could think of where like if someone said "you can be in drag while working and do this job" either because it would help people or be a really good job and maybe not impact my life too much I would do it. But the idea of being forced to take hrt or forced to be male on a day to day life feels bad? Like that's where the gender is stored. The part that isn't related to changing your biological sex that if someone forced you to stop doing it, it would feel like giving up something. Like maybe you would make that trade if it was a life or death situation or to help someone. But the part that wonders how long is the gender.

My impression of at least some non binary people is that it's not a trade to them and like if there was a science fiction or dystopian scenario that changed their biological sex or made people treat them more like the way they see themselves or whatever if they changed gender characteristics they wouldn't care one way or the other. Like they would care about everyone having rights but their internal self concept when they imagine not having a body at all or being a space creature without a biological sex doesn't make them think they would still identify as a gender. Or they actively dislike that whole process. Not just the discrimination parts. They have a self concept that doesn't include a gender as part of it.

Sorry I realize I said that in a really mean way. I shouldn't ask you that if you're talking about discrimination or safety from violence.

i really like the definition of “adult human female” because it says “thats all it is. its not femininity, makeup, submissiveness, softness, anything. all it is is biology. the rest is up to the individual”

📚 A List Of Useful Websites When Making An RPG 📚

My timeloop RPG In Stars and Time is done! Which means I can clear all my ISAT gamedev related bookmarks. But I figured I would show them here, in case they can be useful to someone. These range from "useful to write a story/characters/world" to "these are SUPER rpgmaker focused and will help with the terrible math that comes with making a game".

This is what I used to make my RPG game, but it could be useful for writers, game devs of all genres, DMs, artists, what have you. YIPPEE

Writing (Names)

Behind The Name - Why don't you have this bookmarked already. Search for names and their meanings from all over the world!

Medieval Names Archive - Medieval names. Useful. For ME

City and Town Name Generator - Create "fake" names for cities, generated from datasets from any country you desire! I used those for the couple city names in ISAT. I say "fake" in quotes because some of them do end up being actual city names, especially for french generated ones. Don't forget to double check you're not 1. just taking a real city name or 2. using a word that's like, Very Bad, especially if you don't know the country you're taking inspiration from! Don't want to end up with Poopaville, USA

Writing (Words)

Onym - A website full of websites that are full of words. And by that I mean dictionaries, thesauruses, translators, glossaries, ways to mix up words, and way more. HIGHLY recommend checking this website out!!!

Moby Thesaurus - My thesaurus of choice!

Rhyme Zone - Find words that rhyme with others. Perfect for poets, lyricists, punmasters.

In Different Languages - Search for a word, have it translated in MANY different languages in one page.

ASSETS

In general, I will say: just look up what you want on itch.io. There are SO MANY assets for you to buy on itch.io. You want a font? You want a background? You want a sound effect? You want a plugin? A pixel base? An attack animation? A cool UI?!?!?! JUST GO ON ITCH.IO!!!!!!

Visual Assets (General)

Creative Market - Shop for all kinds of assets, from fonts to mockups to templates to brushes to WHATEVER YOU WANT

Velvetyne - Cool and weird fonts

Chevy Ray's Pixel Fonts - They're good fonts.

Contrast Checker - Stop making your text white when your background is lime green no one can read that shit babe!!!!!!

Visual Assets (Game Focused)

Interface In Game - Screenshots of UI (User Interfaces) from SO MANY GAMES. Shows you everything and you can just look at what every single menu in a game looks like. You can also sort them by game genre! GREAT reference!

Game UI Database - Same as above!

Sound Assets

Zapsplat, Freesound - There are many sound effect websites out there but those are the ones I saved. Royalty free!

Shapeforms - Paid packs for music and sounds and stuff.

Other

CloudConvert - Convert files into other files. MAKE THAT .AVI A .MOV

EZGifs - Make those gifs bigger. Smaller. Optimize them. Take a video and make it a gif. The Sky Is The Limit

Marketing

presskit() - Same as above, but a different one.

Itch.io Page Image Guide and Templates - Make your project pages on itch.io look nice.

MOOMANiBE's IGF post - If you're making indie games, you might wanna try and submit your game to the Independent Game Festival at some point. Here are some tips on how, and why you should.

Game Design (General)

An insightful thread where game developers discuss hidden mechanics designed to make games feel more interesting - Title says it all. Check those comments too.

Game Design (RPGs)

Yanfly "Let's Make a Game" Comics - INCREDIBLY useful tips on how to make RPGs, going from dungeons to towns to enemy stats!!!!

Attack Patterns - A nice post on enemy attack patterns, and what attacks you should give your enemies to make them challenging (but not TOO challenging!) A very good starting point.

How To Balance An RPG - Twitter thread on how to balance player stats VS enemy stats.

Nobody Cares About It But It’s The Only Thing That Matters: Pacing And Level Design In JRPGs - a Good Post.

Game Design (Visual Novels)

Feniks Renpy Tutorials - They're good tutorials.

I played over 100 visual novels in one month and here’s my advice to devs. - General VN advice. Also highly recommend this whole blog for help on marketing your games.

I hope that was useful! If it was. Maybe. You'd like to buy me a coffee. Or maybe you could check out my comics and games. Or just my new critically acclaimed game In Stars and Time. If you want. Ok bye

Guys, if you read on AO3 please try to create an account. So many of us writers are going to be forced to lock down our fics to registered users out of necessity to help keep AI away, and it kills us because we don’t want to stop any of you from reading.

AO3 is invite only. So if you know an AO3 user, ask if they have an invitation to give you (we’re given invite codes to share with others who want to join) because that’s an easy way to get in. If you don’t know someone you can ask, this is AO3’s instructions for requesting one from them…

I know this seems like an extra step and maybe you don’t think you need it and can just read from people who haven’t locked their fics. But this isn’t just about you as the reader. If you enjoy fics and you want to keep them coming, this is how you support your favorite writers! If our stats and comments plummet, I guarantee writing is going to start going down as well. Nobody wants that! So please consider making an account and signal boosting this as well! 🙏🏻

**NOTE: AO3 indicates (as of today) there’s 48k some people in the queue for invites and they’re sending out about 5k per day. That’s not a bad wait at all!!**

the way the andrecateluke trio truthers took multiple hits to the face this episode, but also not. the way andre loved luke and still betrayed him, the way cate loved andre and luke both and betrayed them, the way in luke's last message he told them he loved them. the way the last thing luke said before he died was say he loved andre, and he was sorry. he was sorry. this story was always a tragedy. they were dead from the beginning

So hear me out….pregnant reader with Sevika’s kid. Sevika doting on reader. Bring home a weird craving reader has been having and talking to the baby telling them how excited she is to finally meet them.

I need fluff, I need pregnancy, I need it to be hers naturally.

Thank yooooooooou!

this is so cute i loved writing it! i just know sevika would be a great parent ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

sevika x pregnant reader headcanons

cw: pregnancy, slight innuendos, mentions of violence, veryyyy slight angst at the start

sevika never saw herself being a parent; not because she doesn’t like kids, it’s the complete opposite - she adores them

she felt it was selfish to want to bring a child into a fucked up world like zaun, full of hardship and uncertain futures

but then one night you tearfully turn to sevika in bed and her mind immediately goes into overdrive, are you hurt? is someone threatening you?

“sevika…i’m pregnant.”

you’re both sent into a still silence, unable to see each other but somehow feeling each other’s shock that much more

you’re worried that she’s upset or even mad at you, you know how she feels about having kids, until she’s gripping onto you with all her might, body shuddering from the force of her tears

sevika spoons you to sleep but she can’t fall asleep since her mind is racing about what this means for the future

she is overjoyed to say the least, albeit worried

from that moment on she dotes on you even more than she ever did, saying she needs to “look after my two favourite people.”

she rarely enjoyed pda but now you’re pregnant with her child, she can’t keep her hands off you - she needs to let everyone know that she’s completely smitten with you and the baby

sevika is constantly rubbing her hands on your baby bump wherever you go - just the sight of you and the baby calms her down

however she’ll only talk to the baby when you’re at home all safe and sound because this is when she admits her innermost fears

you stroke her soft hair as she whispers to the bump about how she’s scared she won’t be able to protect you both; after all, sevika works for the biggest crime lord in zaun and a child only provides more ammunition for enemies to utilise

sevika is also concerned about not being a good enough parent to the child but when you look at her building a crib from scratch, concentration furrowing her dark brows, with buckets of paint surrounding her from all the swatches you requested, you know that her worries couldn’t be further from the truth

every morning and every night, without fail, she kisses your forehead and baby bump as she rambles to you both about how excited she is for the completion of your little family

she dotes on you so much!

if you have a weird craving like pickle juice with sparkling water she’s forcing chuck to drop all his orders and make yours stat

if you’re craving some obscure dish that really shouldn’t exist sevika isn’t even going to question it

she’s in the kitchen whipping it up for you as you’re sat on the counter, humming as she prepares your meal

she does that thing where she puts the plate just in your reach but yanks it back again, laughing at how petulant you get

“what, you’re not gonna kiss the chef first?”

she gives it to you eventually, she could never make you wait for too long, and watches on with a goofy little smile and your lipstick marks all over her face as you contentedly eat the downright atrocious meal she made with love

sevika is always with you; call her overprotective or clingy she doesn’t care, she just doesn’t want to risk anybody hurting you or the baby

you basically get scary dog privileges everywhere you go

if your pregnancy hormones say the annoying store clerk that spoke to you in a condescending tone needs to die then sevika is on it right away

ok not really, she talks you down from your moments of bloodlust but she will deal with anyone that is rude to you

“you think i’m gonna let you get away with being an asshole to my dove, huh?”

lowkey shocked (and equal parts turned on) at how cranky your raging hormones make you 😭

sevika is incredibly attracted to you and your changing body even though you get insecure that she won’t like you anymore because of it

she takes her precious time every day just kissing the new stretch marks that appear and massaging your swollen ankles

you spend your date nights talking about baby names and you two even draw what you think the baby will look like

her drawing mainly consists of your features

your drawing mainly consists of her features

you two are so down bad for each other it’s sickening

silco has to force sevika to take more time off; she’s loyal and deserves to have more downtime with you as you prepare for your baby

he understands what it’s like to have a kid, how stressful it can be so he wants his dearest friend to enjoy the moment as much as possible

speaking of silco, he helps sevika host a surprise baby shower at the last drop and an insane amount of people turn up

you cry when you realise how loved and respected you are in the community

everyone is having the time of their lives playing games like blind diaper changing, who knows mum/dad the best, guess the baby, etc.

no gender reveal though she’s traditional in that regard and wants to wait until the baby’s born to find out

jinx is also very excited about the new arrival in the family

yes, she considers you and sevika to be part of her family and it’s very cute

she gets to be an auntie!

jinx spends all her free time making all sorts of toys out of softer materials because she’s considerate (also sevika warned her not to use scrap metal, or implement sharp edges, or even add teeny tiny smoke bombs - jinx scrapped all of her designs and had to start from scratch), for your baby with her signature graffiti of course

her and sevika probably work together to make some of the furniture for the baby’s room

sevika is very proud when people ask to feel bump

“yeah, this is our kid.” smug grin plastered onto her face and a strong arm wrapped around your midsection

you can’t help but roll your eyes when she does this because at this point who doesn’t know it’s your kid - she spends all day talking about it 😭

all in all sevika is honestly the best mother and wife you could ask for <3

When Buffy comes back from the dead and runs off to see Angel not in LA and not in Sunnydale but “Somewhere in the middle. There’s a place.”

a place!!!!! A PLACE?!? Like a designated place where they meet sometimes?! The only thing my mind can compute re: that line is that they have been sneaking off to that place over the years just to see each other and i'm sort of losing my mind over it...
