#I'm just also so broken I gotta do it in chunks

[whiskeytabby]

I can not stress the usefulness of the phrase ‘whatever works’ enough. It’s not dismissive, it’s just whatever works to make what needs to happen happen.

For example, the only way I will take my stupid little walks for my mental health and my fucked up back is because my stupid little phone game wants me to walk a certain amount a day. No amount of arguing with myself will make it happen but that little daily quest will make me find my shoes and bop off on a little hobble across the park. It’s not ideal, but it sure is ‘whatever works’. I also do my best work on household chores between 11pm and 2am, so I save tough chores for then because I’m able to set my own schedule. Sure not traditionally ‘sensible’, but is ‘whatever works’. Finding your ‘whatever works’ for your mind, body, and obligations is super important. Maybe there’s an ideal, maybe there isn’t, but if there’s a thing that needs to happen and a ‘whatever works’ solution gets it done that’s absolutely good enough for the meantime.

Dungeon Meshi Chapter 24

I like this little detail on the title image where the dragon's talons dig slightly into the stone.

I noticed Marcille biting her lip in this panel and had to check if this is a nervous tic of hers.

I didn't find any panels with enough detail to tell if that's what she's doing, but I did find several panels where her lip quivers when she's nervous or distressed.

And of note, I found that she grits her teeth a lot during her fight with the undine when she cast spells. She's definitely biting her lip in the second panel here.

I'm surprised Senshi is okay with Laios using his cooking utensils to bang on his pot.

Dragons use their tongues as an igniter to make flame. I guess the process to make fire breath is something like

regurgitate fuel

ignite with tongue

let fire build up in mouth

spit

I will not idly stand by and let them get away with this Namari slander!

She never said adamant can block all dragon attacks. She said it could block their fangs. She never once talked about dragon fire. And she also burned herself killing that undine by keeping the pot over the fire. The others just didn't listen to her.

This is an actual technique that can slightly improve your ability to see at a distance.

If I remember correctly, by putting your fingers to your eye like this, the light hitting your eye becomes more concentrated and it lets you focus your vision better. It's the same thing your iris does.

Although you'd have to curl up your finger until the hole is barely there to get any noticeable effect.

Where are Marcille's pants?

Oh, right. Her outfit got coated in frog blood at the end of chapter 21.

Honestly, the plan wasn't bad. The dragon is just tougher than they thought. Maybe if that corridor had fallen in larger chunks or had more weight, it would have succeeded.

"It really is just a monster" is a dark callback. Back in chapter 14, Laios warned Senshi against thinking Anne was friendly and sure enough, she tried to kill Senshi the first moment she got.

At that point, Kensuke had previously reacted to the Treasure Insects and Laios assumed it was warning and helping him. But really, it was just acting out of self-preservation.

Now that I think about it, Kensuke would hold a very unique position within a normal Living Armor colony. As the sword, it doesn't actually have any role with moving the body. But when it detected Treasure Insects, it reached out to connect to Laios's hand. So maybe Kensuke's job within the colony was to detect threats and transmit signals to the colony's sword arm that it needs to begin swinging.

As an extra note, every Living Armor kept their swords unsheathed, meaning the sword would normally be connected to the colony at all times.

Kensuke fleeing from Laios's grip is strong evidence to me that individual Living Armors operate similarly to how the cells of The Thing do. Kensuke wants to flee from the fight but its "colony" isn't moving so it opts to abandon the "colony" to save itself.

In it's mind, Kensuke is probably shouting "We need to run! We need to run!" to a colony that isn't there, and it not getting any feedback that the colony is moving has made it conclude that the colony is dead or heavily damaged so it has to save itself.

The dragon was about to breathe fire but stopped when the party ran under it's body. Noticeably, it slammed it's mouth shut when it stopped. Since fire needs oxygen to burn, the dragon probably can just smother the fire it's producing by closing its mouth and cutting off airflow. This would also mean the dragon's jaw is airtight.

Every character Chilchuck is using requires you to draw a circle. Gotta wonder what cursive in that language looks like.

Despite the seriousness of the situation, somewhere along the way this whole fight turned into a comedy of errors. Laios lost his sword, Senshi's axe is broken, the party is running around under the dragon trying to not get squished, and the only thing that has actually been effective was stabbing the dragon in the toe with a cutting knife.

It's turned into your typical D&D final battle.

MR. LARGO'S REPO SITE MASTERPOST!

in this post, I will link all the sites I deem important and where I draw a lot of our rare images and lore. I will also teach you how to access these sites since flash is no longer available!

Also, if you have any questions, need any help, you find that a link is broken, or you find a link that you feel should be added to this list, don't hesitate to dm me:

Discord -> luigilargo or my main @captainspaulding

First thing's first: In order to actually see a lot of these sites, you gotta have Flash. As we all know, Flash was discontinued in 2020, but thanks to some nerds out there, someone created a custom version of pre-2020 chrome with flash installed!

I've already backed this zip file up to a drive folder for you. All that is needed is this:

Download and extract the zip file. It is 100% safe because it's mine, and this is what I use every day.

Open the folder, do not delete or move anything obviously. Open the Google Chrome application

This will already have flash preinstalled. You don't have to do anything. To be safe, google Flash Checker and open the site, right-click the box that says you need Adobe Flash and run it. If you can see the animation, that means Flash is working ☝️😎

You may have to turn it on each time you reload a new web archive page and may have to right-click the flash animations to turn it on. Otherwise, you're all set, and you now have Flash just like the good ol days!

Now with that outta the way, here is a list of all Repo! related sites that you can access through the wayback machine:

Repo! film site

Repo! stage play site

GeneCo site (this one is still up and running so it can actually be accessed without wayback)

Zydrate site

Anti GeneCo blog site

Repo! members site (this one I so far have only been able to access the homepage, but I'm putting it here in case someone can figure out how to see more since this site apparently had lots of art and bts things for the film)

MySpace links:

Pavi's MySpace

Amber's MySpace

Shilo's MySpace

(as of now these are all that I can access, if anyone has working links to view the others please dm us so we can update this list)

It should go without saying that these are archived sites, a good chunk of the images are broken and its up to you to sift through all the snapshots and find working pages!

Have fun and I will update this list with any new sites or information I find.

Gotta say, while I don't engage with the larger fandom in general for...Honestly the vast majority of the stuff i watch, read and play, I really gotta say that I am powerfully struck by how different of an experience I am having with chainsawman. Part 2 Specifically.

Because sometimes I feel like I'm reading a completely different manga from other people, because the bits I'm liking and find interesting are emphatically NOT the parts that they like, which is a problem, given they've been the focus of this chunk of the manga.

It's also a little frustrating because I'd honestly like to talk about it a bit...But hey i guess that's what a blog is for.

So like...I guess the thing I'm generally seeing in my small circle of folks who are reading it as well, is that damn Denji's become lame and like...

Denji has always been the lamest fucker in this manga. Far and away. Until Asa showed up, his only real rival was Kobeni and I'd make a genuine argument that Kobeni while PATHETIC, also at least had a lot of her shit together in a way that Denji doesn't and can't owing to the franly horrific amount of shit he's gone through and been processing.

And Asa is about as equally cursed, but the difference being she's hyper lame and broken down in COMPLETELY different ways from Denji, but no less absolutely fucked than him. Indeed, they both have absolutely abyssmal luck that manifested in different ways (Asa being unable to do anything without it going wrong in the worst possible way vs Denji magnetically attracting bullshit that want's to fucking ruin his life specifically FIGHT)

And like...The prevailing attitude i'm seeing (again, small sample size) is Damn Why Is Denji Lame now? He's not doing anything cool anymore? What the fuck is this bullshit stop showing me asa and it's like

What's the point of having Denji fight more? Like sure you could definitely get more cool fight scenes out of him, and we definitely got a couple out of this portion of the manga, but even in part one the fighting was always had this element of....None of this fucking matters. Like there's the peril, but the overriding focus for Denji was never the violence because the violence was a solved problem for him. Not in the sense of Oh he's almighty and thus can handle it. So much as fighting was rote. It's nothing worth seriously considering by and by beyond the very material fact of I need to fight to live.

But otherwise? It's not like Denji's tangibly gotten stronger in a way that's distinguishable since the start of the manga and his transformation into Chainsawman. He's not gotten any new super moves. He's never gotten any super forms, not really. Like it hasn't mattered in the least by and large.

MEANWHILE his growth and development, or the lack there of, has always been the central focus of the manga, and how he fails or succeeds at that (and honestly, Part 2 starts strong with him getting stuff RIGHT. Until He magnetically attracts absolute bullshit back to him, and he barely manages to keep it together in the face of it)

And I don't doubt for a moment that we're going to get some dope fights later, but honestly I don't think we're gonna get to see any of them until after the wonder twins get their shit together because their enemies and foes right now are honestly just...NOT a threat if they were firing on anything approaching half a cylinder. Not really.

Bleh. I'm sure there's deeper analysis i can go into. Latest chapter is fucking RIPE for it but man....Just kinda getting the words out at the moment i suppose.

[gay-jesus-probably]

When you have a chance please infodump about fossils!! I would love to hear more about it- I’m Canadian and had no idea that four of the oldest were here that’s so cool!

OH SHIT HEY YES I CAN DO THAT NOW! Typing is much easier; my hand is still a bit fucked, but it hurts less, and also my sibling made an emergency delivery of bandaids so that I'm not just sitting here with a fucking kleenex taped my hand like before SO IT'S INFODUMP TIME!

Anyways Canada is actually really fucking baller for fossils, we've got a LOT of them, because Canada's got some really cool geology stuff going on! The oldest major fossil site in Canada (and second oldest on earth) is over by Lake Superior for a reason, and that reason is entirely the Canadian Shield! It's some of the oldest land on earth, and one of the only places where you find a lot of rock that was formed in the Archean eon.

What's the Archean eon? Great question! You asked about paleontology, but first we've gotta do a geology lecture, because we're talking fossils that are several billion years old - at this stage, paleontology IS geology, they're one and the same. So, the Earth's lifespan is split into four geological eons - Hadean, Archean, Proterozoic, and Phanerzoic.

The Hadean eon began with the formation of the earth, and the most notable event during it was baby Earth colliding with the deceased planet Theia - the broken chunks of mantle from both planets were launched into orbit, with the further away ones condensing to form the moon, while the rest of Theia is believed to have been sort of just absorbed into the Earth's core, which explains a lot about why the Earth's core is unusually large for a planet of its size, and the effects of its remains also explains some very specific seismic phenomenoms... it's a whole thing, very cool. The chunks of earth/theia mantle that didn't become the moon came back down eventually, in an event known as the Late Heavy Bombardment, which marks the start of the Archean eon. That's where the planet stabilized, the oceans formed, the very first (tiny) landmasses appeared, and the earth underwent abiogenesis, which is to say life being created! ...In the form of single cell lifeforms.

Abiogenesis is very interesting by itself, but I don't think I can adequately cover that, so let's not get too into it. The short version is that an electical spark (such as lightning) in just the right conditions can make a whole lot of exciting proteins that, if left to their own devices, may develop into microbial lifeforms. The protein creation has been replicated in lab conditions, but synthesizing new life from that isn't exactly do-able; those proteins are very appealing to basically everything, so if they come into existence, they're snapped up pretty quickly by whatever bacteria happens to exist in the general vicinity. Those proteins can only really develop into lifeforms when there's no lifeforms around to eat them in the first place. And ensuring conditions where bacteria can't be present also means conditions not being viable for life to form anyways... it's a fun paradox. Not the point.

Anyways, that's believed to have gone down very early in the Archean eon, and the microbes were just sort of vibing in the oceans for a couple billion years until one of them evolved in a certain way, got Ideas about the elemental composition of the atmosphere, and decided it'd be pretty cool if all that oxygen was in a more convenient form... Which brings us to the Great Oxidation Event, which rolls us into the Proterozoic eon, killed the majority of the Archean lifeforms, and ensured that us oxygen breathing bastards became the dominant form of life. Proterozoic era was where things got really exciting; some more land began surfacing, and more importantly the microbial life began evolving into plants! Which is extremely cool and exciting.

And THEN we entered the Phanerozoic eon, which is the one we're currently in. This began with the Paleozoic era, and THAT started with the Cambrian period, which is notable for being the point where life diversity really exploded; more complex organisms had been slowly evolving in the Proterozoic eon, but the Cambrian period is where shit took off, and the very first 'animal' life appeared, mainly in the form of itty bitty sea creatures, like molluscs and trilobites. This was all about 500 million years ago. For obvious reasons, the majority of fossils are from the Cambrian period or later; anything pre-cambrian is a Really Big Deal (for science nerds). Which is also why Australia and the Canadian Shield are such a big deal geologically speaking, because not only are they some of the only cases of pre-cambrian landmasses, they're also some of the only Archean landmasses on the surface! Fuck, western Australia's so old, we've found (tiny) rock samples from the Hadean eon there!! It's absolutely wild, I love it.

Anyways, sorry Australians, but let's focus on the Canadian fossils now, cause that's where I live so it's more exciting to me. So, Canada's oldest fossil deposit is my beloved Gunflint Chert! It's the only major hotspot for Archean fossils apart from the Apex Chert, but we know Gunflint is younger, because it's also got examples of veeeery early Proterozoic fossils, which is also quite cool! Our second oldest fossil deposit is the Mistaken Point Formation, up in (shockingly enough) the Mistaken Point region of Newfoundland & Labrador, and that's entirely late Proterozoic eon fossils, which is quite cool (it's also the 4th oldest; number 3 is also late proterozoic, and is in northern Australia). Number five is also Australia, and is our last example of proterozoic fossils; 6 is, once again, Aussie, and that's where we roll into early Cambrian fossils (number 7 is, again, a bunch of very interesting cambrian trilobites in Morocco).

Aand that brings us to the eight oldest fossil deposit on earth, which I HAVE personally been to several times, and found samples in! Burgess Shale formation my beloved!!! It's in the BC-Alberta Rockies, and there's some very nice hiking in the area - if you're ever in the Banff area, I 100% recommend the Stanley Glacier trail, because the top portion comes out into a wide rock field, which is a hotbed for fossils! ...Don't take any, it's very illegal and also bad for science. They've got a fossil deposit box chained to a boulder up there for paleontologists to put samples in for later collection, and from what I saw the standard practice is for hikers to leave fossils they find on top of the box for the paleontologists to collect (and for other hikers to see. I found a trilobite fossil up there, it was AWESOME. And left it on the box with the other fossils. Just... Burgess Shale man, oh my god, it's so cool!

Aaaand then number 9 is Krukowski Quarry down in Wisconsin; I haven't been, but it's pretty cool, I think that's where we found the oldest example of a jellyfish existing, which is awesome. Also don't know much about number 10; it's Manuel's River up near Conception Bay, so also Newfoundland & Labrador, where I've never been.

ANYWAYS detouring a bit, while old fossils are extremely cool, y'know what's even more cool? REALLY WELL PRESERVED FOSSILS and oh boy do I have news for you about where the holy grail of dinosaur fossils is. That's right, CANADA BABY. Arguably the best part about Alberta is that this godforsaken hellhole is at least a really good hotbed for fossils. We've got some of the Burgess Shale out west in the mountains, the oil sands up north have so many fossils that everyone just has paleontologists on call all the time, and down south is the Dinosaur Park formation of fossils, which is such a good hotspot that it's literally a UNESCO world heritage site.

BUT. The most important Canadian fossil of all... is my beloved Nodosaur, the Borealopelta. We dug that bad boy out of the oil sands up near Fort McMurray accidentally in 2011 (hell of a surprise for the guy running the excavator that day), and once it was safely extracted, it turned out that hot fucking damn, that thing didn't just look good, it was perfectly preserved. Like, it somehow wound up in the PERFECT circumstances to mummify it after death, and then that mummified body hit the right circumstances to be fossilized. Paleontologists were able to get pigment samples off of its scales. It still has organs. It's most well preserved fossil ever discovered. Ever. It's on display at the Royal Tyrell Museum in Drumheller, AB - I've been to see it in person, and it was AMAZING, I swear I spent like half an hour in that room, it's so cool. Cannot recommend visiting there strongly enough, it's awesome - Drumheller's on that Dinosaur Park fossil deposit, so the Royal Tyrell is just entirely a paleontology museum. And it absolutely slaps!

Star Trek: Picard Season 1 Thoughts

So, after finishing and thoroughly enjoying Deep Space 9, I wanted to pick up a different Trek series because at this point I had gotten used to marathoning a few episodes every evening. I wasn't too eager to try watching Voyager all the way through due to the Maquis involvement (my second-to-least favorite recurring plot in DS9, with Mirror Universe being the least), but I read that Picard followed up on the ending of DS9 in season 3, so I figured, why not.

Gotta get through seasons 1 and 2 first, though.

So, first off, going from something made in 1993 to something made in 2020, was certainly a jolt. Widescreen format, CG everywhere, and no one's enunciating for the microphones anymore so you have to have the subtitles on to know half of what anyone's saying.

I'm not going to be doing an episode-by-episode recap of this like I did with DS9 due to it being in the "8 hour movie broken into chunks" format that's common with streaming shows nowadays, so the content of every episode kind of blurs together, anyway.

Right off the bat, I have a similar overall issue with this as I had with Harrison Ford coming back for the Star Wars sequels: He's just too old to be doing this anymore. He sounds so out of breath in every scene to the point that it's uncomfortable, and I just want him to sit down and take a nap.

I did like that the premise of Season 1 was basically "We're going to take the episode 'Measure of a Man' and then expand on that theme of whether androids have human rights or not." What I liked most about DS9 was its penchant for political allegory and devoting entire episodes to thought experiments and debating novel or morally grey legal concepts.

So Picard S1 set up two moral questions: "Do androids have human rights?", and "Are you obligated to aid the people of an enemy nation when they're facing an extinction-level event?"

And then proceeded to devote very little of its runtime to exploring either of those questions.

What it did devote most of its runtime to was "look at how cynical everyone is and how much baggage they have". Yes, characters need flaws and challenges to overcome, but they also need to be someone I can root for. What I liked about TNG and DS9 were that, even though they regularly got into emotionally heavy stuff, there was still this sense of adventure, optimism, and camaraderie among the crew. The whole theme of "Things suck now, but we can fix it and make it better, and everyone around you wants to help."

But now it's just fallen into that gritty, edgy sci-fi that makes it feel altogether generic. Where if they didn't say things like "Romulans" or "Federation" or "Borg", it would be unrecognizable as Star Trek.

The only real underlying sense of "fun" in this season was Rios's crew of holograms, which were the high point for me. We need campy silliness to endear us to characters so that we can actually care when bad things happen to them. If they're in a funk all the time, what makes this latest crisis worth special attention?

The other high point was the Riker family lodge, since it was another instance of "look at how happy and fun people are, and this is what we're trying to protect". And I was SO worried the series was going to make something terrible happen to them (although, there's still two more seasons). They brought Hugh back just to kill him off in a random pointless way, after all.

I was also pleasantly surprised to see Seven of Nine (pretty much the only character on Voyager I liked, and she didn't show up until that show was halfway done), although the "Coming up on Star Trek: Picard" reel at the end of episode 1 spoiled both her and Riker's appearances in the series, which bummed me out.

I found the season finale to be 50% heartwarming and 50% absolute bullshit. So, Picard at the beginning is stated to have a ticking time-bomb in his brain that will kill him eventually. Then at the end, he settles everything with a speech, but the stress causes his brain to go boom and he dies. But! Thankfully he just happened to be on the planet of artificial bodies and they just finished their procedure of transferring a human consciousness to one! So he died for a completely contrived reason, then was immediately brought back to no ill effect, to the point of why bother in the first place?

But, the heartwarming aspect of it was for him to be able to talk to the soul of Data, and hear Data's wish that his remaining consciousness be deactivated so he can die like a mortal. Very reminiscent of Vision's request in the Marvel comics, that he be allowed to die instead of constantly being rebuilt and reactivated, so that his life has meaning (and, side note, I read that the director for Picard Season 3 is heading up the Vision Quest D+ series, which was another reason I was curious to watch it and see what Vision's story might be in for).

So, all in all, I thought it was... okay. A bit too dark and cynical for what I want from Star Trek, and I hope in the subsequent seasons they can let themselves have more fun with it.

(Hi! It's me again)

Do you have any thoughts on deltarune college mates friskriel?

(Okay, I am very sorry, there is a looot of questions rolled into one here, and you don't have to answer all of them or even any of them, it's just...that since I heard you also like the headcanon, I wondered if you had any specifics? or....well, wanted to think of some? so I kinda made a list of things to just...think about? if you hadn't already?) (I am also aware that college Friskriel may carry more novelty for me, who normally thinks of flowey and frisk in their pre-teen and early teen stages, than you who made two whole fanfics with them as older teens and young adults)

what they both study?

who are Frisk's parents/guardians here? are they currently happy with their family situation?

how (and when) did they meet? (since Az's coming back for Christmas (it's probs autumn right now cause orange leaves) for the first time since leaving, that means he's spent one term at college so far)

are they room-mates?

Any uni clubs or societes they both go to?

Do they attend college parties?

Or shitty part time jobs they both have to work at? (gotta be ready to pay off that student debt, ugh)

are they dating in the background at this point (chapter 2)?

will they be by the end of the game? (in like in the background, in your version, it's not gonna be canon obvs)

Are they still doing a secret relationship here?

How's Frisk's relationship with Kris and the other Dreemurrs? (and the Holidays? since they're close enough to be considered family, honestly)

Would Kris tease them both? (Kris seems like the type)

Can they go on a date to QC's?

And will they be back for the festival? (since that's apparently something you take a date to)

Would they go on the real light world ferris wheel? (like Kris and Noelle went on as kids)

Any chance for post-canon darkworld adventures? (though they might be all be closed by the end) (tag team fights and acts, drinking each other's tea, reactions to each other's cool dark world outfits, Frisk seeing Az's fire magic for the first time, defending each other, item shenanigans (for example, like Susie remarking Noelle's ring smells like her or Ralsei's blushy reactions should you give him the ribbons (poor Kris...), stuff like that!))

Any parallels to other ships such as Suselle?

Or actual popular Azzy ships like Dessriel? What do you think of Dessriel? Any chance for angst or drama there?

Anything related to the original timeline (like Azzy's final boss form he made or...strange dreams from another world?)

What is the status on monsters outside hometown? are they common? Or is Azzy the first monster Frisk has seen?

Again, I am sorry for so very many questions I asked. Do not feel compelled to answer!

It's absolutely fine, no need to apologize, I'm honestly kind of impressed? If AU surveys exist, I would classify this as one!

I have one issue that I'm very guilty of, I have only played chapter 1 of Deltarune, once, and right after it was released, I was in the middle of writing the Growing Pains series when both chapters came out and I was concerned it would throw off my focus, and many other silly reasons, so, I never got into Deltarune- BUT, I am interested in some of the characters.

(I also don't ship Asriel/Flowey with anyone else but Frisk (I've gotten too comfortable with my own AU's and my brain just won't let me think of him being with anyone else at this point, I think it's broken, lol) so I have no idea what Dessriel is.)

Because I still like the idea of the AU, and because Growing Pains 2 had a short college arc, I already have something I can work with, I'm happy to say I can answer a good chunk of your questions.

I'll start simple!

Asriel is studying to become a doctor, but really wants to be an astronomer, he goes to a co-ed college, his roommate ends up being a three eyed, purple slime monster named Grreth (but prefers to go by J.J.) (if you've read Growing Pains 2, you already know who he is, I just couldn't help but add him in because him and Flowey becomes such good friends :p)

Frisk is also studying to become a doctor, they really love to help people, but quickly discover that it's a bit difficult for them and they're considering leaving to switch to something more art-based, maybe they'll become an art teacher instead? But after meeting Asriel and discovering that he's actually their dorm neighbor, and are guilt-tripped by their aunt, they decide to stick to it.

They have a roommate who's a human, who's name is Alice, Frisk has a crush on her at first- until Alice reveals that she's already dating someone and then is rarely seen much after that due to becoming busy with classes and other things, leaving Frisk to have the dorm room all to themselves, it's pretty lonely until they become good friends with both Asriel and J.J.

My Frisk's story is that they're nonbinary (AFAB), Filipino, and lost their parents in a car accident at the age of nine, so they were raised by their aunt (Ligaya) and cousin (Andres) (who is like an older brother to them).

Fortunately, their family is okay with monsters, but kind of clueless about them due to the fact that they live in an all-human neighborhood, so when Frisk goes to college and meets Asriel and all these other monsters, they're very starstruck and amazed, and by the looks of it, Kris seems to be the only human Asriel knows, so he's also starstruck and amazed by Frisk as well, they hit things off very fast.

Frisk's family isn't as well off as Asriel's is, so they work two jobs to help pay off their college debt; one at an adorable bakery (which Asriel comes by often as an excuse to see them, usually bringing J.J. along at first and then later, alone) Frisk's second job is at the college's library, which, Asriel also loves to visit them at, they steal loving glances at each other while he's trying to study.

After they start dating, Asriel starts stressing out because he runs out of allowance money because he keeps wanting to buy Frisk's gifts and take them to nice places on their dates, so he takes up a job as a florist, and because both of his parents are gardeners and he has an eye for making things look good-he's ends up being very good at his job.

Because Frisk's family is cool with monsters in my AU, I can't see any reason why they would keep the relationship secret... although, they'd probably be apprehensive about voicing the relationship or showing any PDA in the beginning because there are groups on both sides that very highly disapprove/hate monster/human relationships, and Asriel and Frisk don't want either to get hurt.

-Fun stuff!-

Asriel admits his feelings first by writing a love letter and sticking it under Frisk's dorm room door, they get it immediately and write him one back and stick it under his door, he then urgently runs out of his dorm to theirs and they practically tackle each other with an embrace, a week after that they have their first kiss.

After getting deeper into their romantic relationship, Frisk thinks Asriel is gorgeous and likes to jokingly flirt about practicing their art by drawing/painting him in the nude (insert Titanic joke here), he always blushes and laughs and the moment goes on, but one day he goes "but who will be the nude one, me or you?"

They go to a few parties, both as a couple and as a trio with J.J., most of them go well, but there are few instances where Asriel nearly gets in a fight with a guy who is coming on too strong toward Frisk, and nearly gets another fight when J.J. gets bullied- and if things go wrong, the three of them leave to go have their own fun.

One day J.J. comes back to the dorm room with pot brownies and shares them with Asriel and Frisk, it ensues a very funny adventure between the three of them, and after that, they use pot brownies to celebrate big accomplishments instead of alcohol after Asriel suffers from the worst hangover ever that ended with him hospitalized.

Things get a little awkward when J.J. admits that he has a bit of a crush on both Asriel and Frisk, but they both let him down gently and they manage to continue being best friends, however, by the end of that month, J.J. meets a dorky cute trans girl and they slowly fall in love.

Asriel and Frisk are both very supportive of each other and help each other with school work, they're even supportive of each other's wishes and desires to do other things, even if it means they'd end up going to different colleges in the future... but they also like the idea of opening up a small health clinic together as a married couple, treating and healing both humans and monsters alike.

-Bringing Frisk to his home-

Asriel brings Frisk home, first introducing them as his best friend but realizes how serious he feels for them and quickly reintroduces them as his romantic partner.

Kris is jealous in the beginning, because here they were waiting all this time to spend time with their older brother, but nooo, he has no time for them due to practically being attached to Frisk at the hip- but being the good brother he is, he catches this before it's too late and makes time for them and Frisk ends up bonding with Toriel and Asgore, they remind them of their parents.

When Frisk finds out that Kris was jealous, and as a person with an older brother figure, they understand and make a point to hang out with them, telling them if they had met earlier before they started dating Asriel, they would have asked for Kris's blessing first- it's a funny thing to say, but Frisk is so serious and sincere about it that Kris can't help but start to like them.

Once they warm up to Frisk and the idea of the relationship, Kris definitely begins teasing them about everything, it embarrasses Asriel but Frisk finds a lot of funny and takes most of the teasing in stride.

Asriel then introduces Frisk to his neighborhood friends and takes them on a few dates around town in the process, it doesn't take long for Frisk to fit into the family and town.

Frisk becomes like an older sibling to Kris, and even if Kris wants to be a monster, they find comfort in bonding with them over human-related things.

-Bringing Asriel to Frisk's home-

Frisk's aunt Ligaya is very charmed by Asriel and treats him like a son, however Andres, who is protective over Frisk, grills Asriel with a hundred questions, by the end of it, Andres is annoyed that he's charmed by Asriel too.

Asriel gets introduced to Filipino food! He ends up really liking it, and on a much later visit, he helps Ligaya cook and sneakily learns how to cook Frisk's favorite foods.

Ligaya doesn't let them sleep in the same bed at her house until they're much later married (she doesn't care if they've tangoed or not, it's not happening!) So, he sleeps in Andre's room (he has a bunk bed), where he is further grilled by Andres, Asriel comically does not sleep well.

Anyways, here's a quick funny doodle I did, a gift for reading my ramblings and wanting to know my thoughts.

POV, you're an administrator and you're doing dorm room checks and notice that this room smells suspiciously like....... brownies.

However, the three college students- who are definitely hiding something, are also very welcoming and nice that you decide to dismiss any of those suspicions.

[crimsonblackrose]

.

Daniel and Johnny having pretty much the same conversation with their students, though Johnny takes on the blame for everything.

Also I wonder who prints all these gi's, because this is the first time Miyagi-do has gi's. And Daniel never had an officially made gi, he just had something Mr. Miyagi put together for him. Though, he also is on the All-Valley comittee so maybe that's how he figured out how to get the gi's.

Random side note thought. the LaRusso's try to create a restraining order between them and Kreese, however how does that help their students? And what does Demetri's parents think happened to his arm? Like Hawk did it. Do they know that? I mean they know Eli's family so surely they'd have told his parents and something would've happened. Or told the school. Does that mean despite getting his arm broken Demetri didn't snitch on Eli?

Our allies have turned against us. Kreese you're just unhappy that Johnny isn't following the story you have in your head.

If you're looking for revenge you can start by digging two graves. So far in the land of revenge both you and Sam have tried and done that.

If you have hate in your heart you've already lost.

Uh so season 1 and 2 Daniel? When you went after Johnny just for being back on your radar?

I swear every time I see Kreese's classes despite pruning down to the most necessary students, he has new ones.

This is actually so sad. Johnny had so many but he lost them all to Kreese or because of Kreese for the Cobra Kai ones, or because of Hawk's actions which were for sure a continuation of Kreese's no mercy poisoning.

Also note that Demetri's arm is out of the cast, and later even out of the sling. A good chunk of time has passed.

I also want to point out that while Cobra Kai is nearly always in gi's, this is the first time Miyagi-do is. So Miyagi-do and Eagle fang have kind of switched. And I don't know whether it's Johnny lost all their gi's when he lost the dojo or if he there hasn't been time for branding yet for the gi's. I mean he just scraped together what he needed for the shirts.

Where Robby was.

Johnny trying to force his way into the juvie to get his son. So impatient.

It's raining.

"You gotta be kidding they called you?" "I called them."

What's interesting is Daniel just shows up. Robby's ignored his emails and calls this whole time. Johnny's actually seen him, but made a mess of it and is trying again. It makes me wonder if they called Johnny. Which I appreciate that he's on their list just like he was with the school.

Daniel, come on, it is Johnny's kid. I get the, I want to be there in case no one shows up, but Johnny's kinda right, you don't need to be there. You dropped Robby twice and then were there when he was caught and arrested.

Just like you had kreese under control. Dude, Kreese is his own thing and you know that Daniel.

What did you think would happen when you summoned that devil back to earth?

Daniel, Johnny literally thought the man was dead. And because he was trying to forgive himself and working on himself and saw that Kreese was also down and out and trying in his own way he got tricked. While Johnny was out of town with a sick and dying friend who literally died Kreese put all the wheels in motion to steal the dojo out from under him and turn his students against him. And when Johnny caught it he kicked Kreese out and Kreese bided his time until the bond between him and his students broke with Miguel getting hurt and then stole them and the dojo at his next lowest point. But does he ever tell Daniel this? No. Instead he decides he's going to be the one to take care of Kreese himself with his like 6 students.

Daniel's Kreese isn't just your problem any more, should really be something heartening, like we're in this fight together but instead it's like you're doing this shit wrong I have to do it. He literally says as usually I'm going to have to be the one to clean up your mess. Which Daniel, WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN?!

Brings down the tally map again. Do you mean his wrecked car? That was a gift, and your daughter was part of that hit and run. Do you mean the billboard? You didn't clean that, Anoush and Louie did. Did you mean Robby? Who you've abandoned multiple times when you no longer want him as a student but never tell Johnny about it? Because that's your mess. Kreese being a mess, sure that's a Johnny issue but it's also Kreese being a dick issue that was exasperated by your rivalry with Johnny. I don't understand what you mean by cleaning up Johnny's mess other than you think that's literally what you've been doing rather than I don't know, upping his rent, blaming everything on him that he didn't do not realizing he does go yeah I did that to the things he does do, like punching Anoush which was due to cause and affect of you not telling Johnny where his son was and him getting concerned for Robby's well being.

What are you going to do barge in there and beat him up? Says the guy whose wife did that and will soon do that and it's actually the best thing.

Ah right, the chop shop. When Johnny ran in and kicked ass because he was scared about Robby and needed to know where he is so completely and utterly different then the time Daniel broke into Johnny's apartment and started a fight because he was scared for Sam who was literally sleeping off a drunken night and to scared to go home and face him.

I love Robby showing up, they didn't even hear the buzz, sees these two idiots are fighting right outside of Juvie and is like why'd I end up with these two? I'm sorry Robby but you went from one dad struggling to now...two dad's and one grandpa all struggling but also strugglign to try and be your father figure. You're truly in like a twisted version of Mama Mia.

I told you I didn't want you to be here. you're my son. I wanted to be here.| So did I.

Robby blames Daniel for juvie.

I am proud of Johnny for quickly saying Robby has a home with him. Because it's his second offer of this, and the second time Robby turns him down. But it's something that always still stands.

Kreese must've already offered him a place since he turns down both homes. I get turning down Daniel's since he's gotten kicked out of it twice. Also note, that Daniel doesn't say you always have a home at my place, ala the LaRusso's but at the dojo. Which is kinda...heart breaking. Like karate got Robby in juvie, and it's not Daniel's home he's offering, it's a spot back in the karate club. I don't think that's necessarily what Daniel fully meant, but he's so focused on Cobra Kai and fighting them that his wording and focus is only on defeating them and thus come back to our dojo rather than you can live with me. (Which pretty sure Daniel still has all of Robby's stuff. But he put it in storage because Robby was sleeping in the dojo and it was gone the last time we saw the dojo, when him and Sam were sparring) So Robby is once again homeless and now he doesn't even have anything beyond the clothes on his back.

School has a winter solstice festival celebration happening soon.

There's also a toy drive and some snowflakes up so I assume it's December?

Daniel's being a little hard on the students. They're not all going to be at Sam's level, and just because Robby's still (rightfully) pissed at you doesn't mean you should take it out on your students.

What I do like about this new leaf is that Amanda is sort of at the dojo more and can realize Daniel is frustrated and taking it out on students and can intervene.

Amanda made iced tea and lemonade for them.

I don't think the decks with that stone lantern are really a good place to teach kids karate. Also with those posts that seems like it's going to be in the way.

It's my fault they found themselves in this position.

True. Not 100% just your fault, but some of the blame is yours.

I love that Amanda is like okay so you're upset about Robby. She can tell so fast.

Daniel: I can't just let him go, he has no one.

Daniel really tends to forget other people exist. Robby has his father and mother. And yes Shannon's in rehab but Daniel never counts Johnny despite the fact that Johnny shows up time and again only to get pushed away. This is just your firs time getting pushed away. Johnny's a veteran at it and still gets back up and comes back. He failed to show up during the run of this show's time line where he's got his life together, once. And that was because Miguel was in surgery and that was a screw up but he shouldn't have double booked. He got a second chance on that one but put his foot in his mouth. But that doesn't mean Johnny isn't there for Robby or wouldn't try to be. Because he does try.

Ron from the all-valley committee (their board meetings are at the rec center)

Johnny stole someone's frisbee to use as a target for the kids to kick. Ugh that hurts. He spent so long chipping away at the equipment he needed for his dojo and had finally gotten it, had finally expanded, and now he's using frisbee's in the park.

He sure is resourceful.

Mitch: Does my nickname from the previous dojo have to carry over?

What's interesting is that Bert and Miguel get to be their first names but Mitch is still assface/penis breath.

Miguel's little tap. 🥺😭 Poor guy is still recovering and wants to try harder but Johnny has wrapped him up in bubblewrap and is coddling him a little.

His eagle fang classmates though and Johnny are so worried about him, and you'd think it'd bring them all closer together to watch Miguel recovering, but instead Miguel is just so frustrated he's snapping and what not.

Which fair. He was a karate champion and now he can't even hit a frisbee without falling over.

Johnny keeping an eye on where they can get water and warning them not to drink where it's unsafe.

I miss when Johnny lived fully sleeve-less. His sleveless jean jacket, the gi, now his eagle-fang t-shirt.

Mitch got a shirt that fits.

Also I'm glad Johnny has students again because they let him know about things like the cancelation of the all-valley, meanwhile Daniel gets a personal visit from Ron to let him know (Daniel's on the comittee so it makes sense.)

The city council pulled the permit.

Ron's state farm agent is named Taylor and he's upset he has to call and tell him that the all-valley is cancelled and they can't be a sponsor to...nothing.

Daniel. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

The person who can overturn maybe the committee's feelings: The two time champ, and guess whose hows up to the meeting? 3 two time champs, however only 2 of which are all-valley two time champs and they all fail.

Truly the only one who can do it is Miguel who got hurt.

Crystal Light lemonade. 🤣 Though I get why Ron would think that they grew their own lemons after seeing the dojo. (He makes a joke, de-light-ful. 🤣)

Ron also apparently told Daniel first before the rest of the board.

So the probation office hasn't taken down their signs. Because when Robby was looking at his emails it was October.

But the probation office's blood drive is September 24th.

The lady at the front desk doesn't even look at him.

The way Robby sees Tory, is startled, slams his stuff onto the chair next to him and jumps up ready to fight. and Tory just stares him down and is like 'go ahead they'll send you straight back to juvie.' and since that isn't what he wanted at all he uncurls his fists.

This is their first true interaction without Sam or Miguel.

Thanks to you for starting the fight | and you for finishing it.

What amazes me is that these two literally are having the worst time in their home lives, are on opposite sides, literally because of each other got sent to juvie, and yet end up dating and being friends.

Plus Tory points out the reality that it's unfair that the two of them got in trouble while everyone else got to go back to normal. Robby's still touchy about Sam at the moment. Sam made a mistake, she's a good person. Tory saying Sam will turn on him, just like Miguel (Miguel I don't think meant to turn on you Tory, and you need to give him some slack he's recovering from a terrible injury and surgery, pretty sure he meant you need support in your life that you don't have)

On the section for home life, just check off stable, they don't care and they don't check. Somehow Tory knew exactly what Robby needed to hear and that they were in the same boat on so many levels.

Lol Johnny serving juice he doesn't think is expired yet.

Carmen telling Johnny that he himself needs the tournament.

I think Carmen and Miguel might be the only people to ever tell Johnny this for like anything.

Mr. Carter is the name of the guy upset about manhole covers.

The way Amanda points out that Johnny's there but then Daniel physical throws a fit about it.

councilperson roberts

at an abandoned recreation facility. It was laser tag dressed up to look abandoned in the golf n' stuff and Kreese is right technically sam struck first.

Johnny's giggle when Amanda snaps at Kreese

Johnny's: He's a thief and liar

Daniel: He put a live cobra in my dealership

Johny's look of he did what now?

Like children put in time out

MIGGY

Johnny jumping up to define a swirlie 🤣

Okay we'll host the all-valley but y'all gotta sign waivers. (Surely they've always had to do that)

The thing with TKK films was that Daniel kept trying to hug Mr. Miyagi and it just wasn't what Mr. Miyagi was comfortable with so he didn't get to hug him fully until TKK3. And getting to hug his daughter...that's not a big deal, it's his daughter. But Johnny hugs Miguel multiple times.

And you would think after hearing that passionate speech from Miguel Daniel would warm up a bit more out of his snap judgements on Johnny. That their kids could stand up there and defend the tournament shows how much it means to both of them and that they're doing something good.

Anyway, proud of both Sam and Miggy. Lol Johnny and Miggy do a little spinning rocking hug, it does get a little cut off. But it's cute.

OOH I forgot this is Miggy's first time ever to Miyagi-do.

I'd like to point out that they avoid ever showing Coke or pepsi and nearly always show RC cola. Johnny drinks it too. (Oh and Mr. Pibb)

Sam doesn't know what the rock says. Probably because the rock says gibberish.

Miguel's adopted his new dojo with it's regular rocks and vandalizing park benches.

Sam: You can train here whenever you want.

Are you sure? Daniel's never actually met or warmed up to Miguel. And was rude to Carmen last time he saw her.

Do you actually do karate here? It looks like breathing exercises. 🤣

Miggy loves that he trains in junkyards and cement trucks.

I would like to point out that I don't know if Miguel officially broke up with Tory, but Sam probably hasn't officially broken up with Robby based off the way Robby defended her when Tory even dared say her name. So as much as flirty sparring is fun and Miguel needs someone willing to actually spar with him and not hold back, maybe not the right time to be doing the flirty version of it.

Miguel is having a great time because Sam's not going to hurt him and she's actually sparing with him and so he can actually see how well he remembers.

This is a cute move.

Only flirty non-violent headlock in the series. (pretty sure anyway)

But of course Robby.

Daniel said he was allowed at Miyagi-do.

Poor Robby, looking for a place to sleep, coming back to Miyagi-do to see his girlfriend sparring with Miguel. They haven't kissed just flirty sparring. But still...

Sam didn't want Robby hurting Miguel, she sparred with him but gently, Miguel can't handle a real fight, but Robby doesn't know that or at least isn't thinking about that. And Miguel is itching to prove himself so he's not going to back down. They are all dumbasses.

Johnny being honest and telling Carmen he didn't tell Miguel to go because he thinks he's going to get blamed for Miguel going, only not to realize Carmen's delighted that her Miguel got up in front of a bunch of people and stood up for himself in a way that won. (the kid who lied about being in debate club winning a debate of sorts 🤣)

Rip TV #3 (Johnny you phoned that one in if a bump into the wall from a kiss knocked it down)

Carmen's literally not looking around but slowly leading the way to Johnny's bedroom. She's reaching around her looking for that room. Like this whole thing is Carmen.

Poor Robby, doesn't even try to go to his dad's because why go anywhere near Johnny when it'll put him near Miguel who he's pissed at, so he goes straight to grandpa Kreese.

Also Kreese doesn't turn around and just waits to find out who it is, and then that smug smile when it turns out to be Robby and when Robby honors him with sensei Kreese.

cozily setting up a tent in your blog waiting for every story update there is …. (but also take your time don’t take this too seriously this is meant to convey how awesome your writings are) 🫶🏻❤️

- epel felmier anon 🍎💜

You're absolutely welcome to do so! I think at one point there was talk of a cabin as well!

I'm so sorry about the Epel series- I'm working on it but I absolutely loathe the current draft of the chapter I'm working on, so I am deeply sorry for this nightmarish wait.

Here's a very small sneak peek (10 sentences,) under the cut!!

Epel smiles sweetly at you and shows you his palm, “Lemme see your phone?”

“Why?”

“You ain’t been picking up. Just wanna make sure I don’t gotta get you a new one.”

“It’s not broken.”

Epel’s face twitches, that little microexpression that you notice but can’t observe. He smiles and leans back, resting his ankle on his knee.

“I get it.” You’re certain he doesn’t, but you don’t get the chance to retort when he continues speaking in that overly-innocent tone of voice, “Your mom’s real sweet.”

I will be keeping this chunk, but I've got to do some big rewrites to the climax of the chapter, so I'll let you have a wild imagination for the scenario that leads to this snippet! Thank you so much for your patience!

[emptymanuscript]

This Video feels extremely appropriate for me today

Her solution actually brings to mind my recent success in weight loss (which is turning around at the moment so I'm thinking about what worked and what didn't a lot right now).

One of my fundamental strategies that brought me down from a high a high of 218 at the start of the year to a low of 170 in October, was a focus on dessert. I have a horrendous sweet tooth. I have tried to cut out desserts before. It never works for me. So, what I did this time around (right up until Halloween >_<) was plan dessert.

Instead of trying to not have dessert, I made it a point to have a specific designated dessert that was within my guidelines every day. I always got dessert. It was just that I always got the planned dessert which I had planned around. And knowing that made it possible to govern my sweet tooth when I have always failed to get rid of it.

Cravings felt much less vicious when I could tell myself, honestly, you're going to get dessert. You're getting X at Y pm. I promise. I already bought it. I can see it right there. It's ready and waiting. You'll get something you like, I'm just not giving you this other thing Z that you want right now!

And I'm wondering if that's what I need to do with my news consumption:

Decide that there are certain news experiences that I get. I'm just going to give those to myself. Free and clear. I guarantee them. It's just that it is that specific behavior that is allowed rather than the general behavior and the planned behavior comes at the expense of impulsive behavior.

:/

Seems like that would be harder with news.

:/

Though that reaction tells me that it is probably a good idea to try and figure out how to do that.

...

Maybe use my Apomic Clock, since I bothered to make it and am fiddling around with it.

It is a 2 Hour "day" or 4 (+ large Break in between) Hour "day" if it is treated like an AM/PM. Each Pom is a period of 30 minutes, with 5 minutes of break/leeway on each end, to make 10 minutes of, hey, do you instead of doing what you should be doing. Essentially a broken up 4th Pom of doing something I want instead of something I should. And all together that takes 2 hours.

If I gave myself something like 2 Poms of News... that would be something like 80 minutes all together (because I know what I'll choose to do just because I want to, will be to take in more news).

:/

That's a LOT of time.

But I think it is also LESS time overall than I'm spending now. If I actually chunked it all and compared. I think I'm spending something more like double that in information consumption.

And I don't think it is good for my mental health.

I have backslid a LOT this month. I would say pretty definitively that, overall, my worst self won November. Not to paint the rest of the year as paradisaical. I am generally not a healthy individual. But more of this year has actually been an upswing in my health as opposed to a downswing. And I would like to get back to going in that direction.

I am truly sick and tired of being sick and tired.

The time has come to change.

And my favorite 2 lessons from an AA (equivalent) member:

It is NEVER too late to decide you want to change your behavior. It doesn't matter if your drinking binge was last week, you can decide that that isn't what you wanted to do and decide, right now, to address the issues that enabled that behavior you want to change. Yeah, you still gotta deal with the consequences. But you can absolutely still work on it. No matter when. No matter what. It is NEVER too late. Not even necessarily when you're dead because that was when he decided to change his behavior, when they literally had to shock him back to life in the ER and it wasn't the first shock. It is NEVER too late. So, don't use what happened/is happening/will happen as an excuse. Use it as a reason to do what you really want: get better.

People do only change when they hit the bottom. Sad but true. However, what people often skip in that is that it is that they get to choose what is rock bottom. For him it was dying and having to be brought back. But plenty of people stop earlier. Rock bottom isn't a literal place, it's the place that is too far for YOU to keep practicing your old behaviors. You get to choose. You can say, right now, right where you are, for whatever reason you'll believe, that this is as low as you want to go. You do have to believe it. You can't BS yourself. But, let's face it, we've all done stuff that we never want to do again. We have all done stuff that feels so toxicly nasty to ourselves that we would do quite a lot to prevent ourselves from doing it again, even maybe changing how we lead our lives. So, let one of those be the tipping point. Let that be enough. Choose what has already happened as rock bottom and change yourself to approach your problems in a different way. No, it won't be easy. No, it won't be pleasant. No, it won't erase what has happened. But if you really do it, you don't have to go any lower. It's your choice. It will give you power. It will enable you to do YOU better.

I do not need the news. I don't. I know what is going on in general. Especially when it comes to the bad news. It's giving me specific instances, not diagnosing the problems. I can feel the exact same way about everything without accumulating ever more evidence that isn't pointing to anything new. I can act on the evidence that I have. I don't need convincing. I'm convinced of my positions already. All I'm getting is confirmation and rage and depression and anxiety - which are all different faces of the same dice.

When more than 50% of your chances are bad results, the only way to win is not to play. Stop rolling the dice.

Easier said than done.

But doable.

Yeah.

Ok, goal: 80 minutes on the Apomic Clock a day. That's it. That's all.

Reassess in January.

*cracks knuckles* my pleasure 😌

First off, a quick note re accessing fics on AO3: as others have said, you will need an account to access (or even see) some AO3 fics. Some fics are hidden by the author so that they won't shop up to anyone without an account - I've marked these with an asterisk. If you're having issues with the other fics, some may be hidden/blocked to users without an account because of their maturity rating. Honestly, I'd just recommend making an account anyway, because then you can keep track of recs :) Because AO3 is just special like that, new account can take a few days to a week to be approved by admins, so don't be surprised if you have to wait a hot sec to access anything.

Now, on to the recs!

Long-fics:

All the Young Dudes - the canon in the fanon. Also, if you have absolutely zero attention span like me, here's a good (and complete) audiobook version.

All the Young Dudes (Sirius's Version) - look, gotta be honest, it's kinda just a slightly reworded ATYD about 50% of the time, and that bugged me. Rather than reading it in its entirety, I'd recommend just reading your favourite bits/bits that appeal to you to get some tasty morsels of Sirius being gay and stupid and/or abused and traumatised. (Having said that, I'm realising more and more that I've actually missed big chunks using this method, sooooo... idk?)

Choices - if you enjoy having your heart broken, the pieces stamped on, and then those pieces set on fire, this is the fic for you! It's mostly Jegulus, and it's a long-fic. It's pretty fuckin heavy (tw for TWO sexual assault storylines) and canon-compliant. BUT. I personally felt very, very, very seen by the representation of sexual trauma (and revenge, and healing) in it, so I still recommend it if you're into the darker stuff.

Only the Brave* - ok gotta be honest, I didn't love love this one. I didn't really vibe with the writing style, especially at the beginning. But it's a happy-ending long-fic, and with all the angst in this goddamn fandom I needed a plausible way for my blorbos to be happy, and goddamn did OTB do that. It's mostly Jegulus. Oh and this is another one that has a complete audiobook.

One-shots/short fics:

The Oldest Recipe for Parsnip Soup - this one is simply the sweetest, comfiest, loveliest fic ever written. It's Wolfstar, and a non-magical AU. I honestly don't know what else to say about it - it's just great and everyone should read it.

Half-Doomed, Semi-Sweet - my fic, because I'm shameless like that lol. Hurt/comfort Wolfstar-ish fic. Remus has a fuckin awful full-moon, but the Marauders are with him every step of the way. AHHH WHAT ELSE DO I SAY ABOUT MY OWN FIC??

Anyway, hope you find something in there that you like!! Enjoy 🫶🫶🫶

Guys I need help I've been trying to find the original version of All the Young Dudes on ao3 AND I LITTERALLY CANNOT FIND IT If anyone could please lmk in the comments or reblog which one it is and where I can find it I would appreciate it so much. 🙏🙏🙏

(If anyone has any other Marauders fanifc recs I would LOVE to read them🫶🙏)

Spoilers for Sage Route Chapter 6

Alright... I've been playing Sage's Route and lemme tell ya, I need to rant a lil.

Warnings: Cursing, Blood and Spoilers for Sage's Route below

So, here I am, vibing with my cat-wolf boyfriend by the lake side, all romantic and shit, when he just chunks basically the equivalent to a Epic Rarity Weapon with a 1% drop rate from the hardest dungeon in the game into the fucking lake.

Sage:

Me as I watch him yeet the sacred relic into the lake on our romantic date:

THEN DEER BOI McGEE shows up and LITERALLY STABS SAID RELIC INTO MY CAT-WOLF BOYFRIEND'S CHEST and kills the mood. (see above image of my reaction when sword is through my boyfriend's chest)

So, I've been chasing Sage across the entire continent after he runs away to brood. Like, he can't escape me I'm a persistence predator, I just speed walk after him until he's finally my boyfriend and wants to talk to me.

And you mean to tell me, the speed walk champ, that I don't walk TWO FEET OVER TO MY CAT-WOLF BOYFRIEND TO SEE IF HE'S ALRIGHT??? There's a literal sword through his chest and I am UNPHASED.

Granted, I would've walked over and been like, "Are you okay?"

Me after watching my Cat-Wolf Boyfriend get stabbed several times and I rush over to ask if he's alright:

I am straight up Stone Cold Steve Austin™ cause I don't even FLINCH or even cry out "OH NO! MY BOYFRIEND! HE'S BROKEN!" fucking nothing dudes. not even a "SAGE!!!!" or a "RIME!!! I'LL KILL YOU FOR THIS!" nothing. I think I'm more upset I got blood on my shoes than the fact Sage got stabbed.

What I wanted to say after Rime stabbed my boyfriend:

THEN!!! Rime is like "😊 im here for the artifact in yo chest gurrrrl 😊" and im like "come and get it coward 😜✌"

But then Rime doesn't try to come and get it???

he takes us through a rando portal, stabs my boyfriend, AGAIN, then I throw a pebble at him because NO ONE HAS TAUGHT ME HOW TO FIGHT OR DO MAGIC????

Live recreation of me helping save my mortally wounded boyfriend:

Then Rime just leaves after saying I'm making Sage worse by not letting him Hulk out and rip people's throats out. like bruh what. will anyone explain what the fuck corruption is or does?? no?? k cool whateves I guess.

AND AFTERWARDS, you would think, I, a person who just witnessed someone I care about get stabbed several times, would be like "oh bby are you okay? you got stabby wabby ��🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺"

OR EVEN after he's all healed up, "oh dang, the corruption healed you and that's not good. we should do something to help deal with your corruption!"

FUCK NO WE DON'T DO ANY OF THAT WE'RE Stone Cold Steve Austin™ AND WE'RE ONLY HERE TO SCRATCH SAGE'S EARS AND TELL HIM TO STOP DRINKING

We instead SPEED WALK after him to some s e c l u d e d p o o l s™

and I don't even go like "i almost lost you today." or whatever sappy bullshit. nah. don't fucking care. just toss his clothes in the water and say "'ight catch ya later in my room pspspsps ;) if you know what i mean."

whatever. It's cool.

I mean, it's not like the corruption is gonna turn him into a monster and he'll ask me to kill him to which I'll throw a few pebbles at him as he rips my heart out. No biggie! :D

So, let's recap:

Sage, my cat-wolf boyfriend, tosses his super weapon into the lake because... he can???? then Rime shows up and stabs Sage. Rime teleports us away to stab Sage again. I throw a pebble and Rime leaves after saying I'm turning Sage into a monster. then sage does what he do best and runs away. then i, the speed walk champ, chase after him to throw his clothes in a pool.

Sage as soon as he senses me wanting to talk to him:

END OF RANT

also, if i gotta chase down this man one more freaking time, im putting a restraining order on myself cause i feel like a creep running after him all the time.

my messages are open for anyone who would like to rant/discuss sage route because i actually do love this cat-wolf boy

Trigger Warnings: Swearing, an angry Nesta and a heart-broken Cassian

2094 words | Incorrect Order Masterlist | Read on AO3

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nesta had never been one for small talk but in his presence she spoke as if she was excellent in small talk. They spoke of all unimportant things and ended up forgetting the important stuff; their names. Again.

Feyre sent an invitation for her first anniversary party as she did for every other occasion. The only thing different was that Nesta never bothered to pay heed to her invitations before. After the day in the alley, however, she decided she was going to turn over a new leaf. This was her first step.

She checked her reflection on the side-mirror. She tried to keep her outfit and make-up as simple as possible. She only wore a white ruffled-sleeved blouse with a black pencil skirt. Her hair was braided into a coronet. She looked good, but not as good as she’ll look if she took her own time to do a detailed make-over. She let out a breath and braced herself for the inevitable little chat with her sisters.

“Nesta?” a bewildered voice breathed. She whirled around to face her younger sister, Elain, looking up at her, a small smile playing about her lips. “You’re here,” she said and flung her arms around Nesta. Nesta automatically wrapped her arms around Elain’s smaller frame. Eventually, Elain pulled back.

“No offense, but I really thought you wouldn’t be coming,” Elain said.

Nesta felt as if the smile on her face couldn't be wiped out for the next few hours. “Honestly, I didn't think I'd come either. But here I am.”

She nodded and pulled Nesta to the garden the party was held at.

“I did this,” Elain said. “This garden, I planted and groomed all this.”

“No wonder why it looks so beautiful,” Nesta replied.

She flushed and said contemplatively, “You're so different now, Nesta.”

“I hope in a good way. Where's Feyre?”

“Let's go meet everyone first.”

Nesta shook her head. “I— I need to talk to both of you before I meet everyone else. ”

Elain hesitated then said, “Can you wait in that room? I'll fetch Feyre and come.”

Nesta nodded and headed to the door at the end of the garden Elain pointed at. The room was classy, much like the exterior of the house. She was struck by the simple yet grand theme of Feyre's house. She knew he and his brothers were rich but she just didn't understand the extent of their wealth. Till now.

“What are you thinking?” Feyre wasn't the type to blindly trust people. It took more than coming for her anniversary to persuade her that Nesta's intentions were good.

Nesta faced Feyre, her youngest sister, who stood before her, gorgeous yet fierce in a simple but elegant blue gown. She shrugged, “Just thinking that I'm glad my sisters were well-provided when I couldn't take care of them.”

Feyre’s face didn’t change, she just gestured towards the couches. “Have a seat,” she said.

Nesta sat down, “You both look splendid,” she said. Feyre said that the gown was a gift, Elain thanked Nesta and offered the same.

Nesta cleared her throat. “I need to tell the both of you something. Many things, actually.”

Elain nodded encouragingly. Feyre said, “Go on.”

So Nesta spoke. She apologised. For how she wasn't there to fulfill the role of an elder sister. For how she failed to attend Feyre's marriage and many other occasions. For all the rude words she spoke to them. For shunning them. She apologised for being self consumed. For everything else.

She also promised. To try harder. To become better. To be a good sister and sister-in-law. To be with them at all times, especially when they needed her. And they listened.

“I know these words aren't enough, but I'll try to make it so,” she finished, her hands clasped with both her sisters on her sides.

“You said you'll try, Nesta. We will too,” Feyre said.

“I see a very bright future ahead of us,” Elain said.

Nesta couldn't help the tears anymore. She folded her arms around her sisters and tucked them close. Her sisters. Her beloved sisters she now knew she'd do anything to protect.

“I see a very bright future too,” Nesta said.

Nesta pulled back after what felt like an hour and looked at her sisters' tear-streaked faces.

“I love you,” the three of them said simultaneously. Nesta giggled. Elain laughed. Feyre stared.

Nesta gently brushed the tears from both of their cheeks. “I don't want to see any of you crying.”

She hugged them again, willing the hug to convey everything she didn't say out loud.

“Now, now, enough snuggling. We've got a party to attend and people to meet, remember?” Feyre said.

***

Cassian was anxious. He had always hoped Nesta, his sister-in-law, would come for the gatherings they had; be it family dinners, or birthday parties, or the random meetings they had when they just got tipsy and played games. He hadn't seen her face-to-face before. All he knows about Nesta are from the descriptions from Feyre and Elain. That, too, was minimal. One of them would quickly change the topic to something pleasant the moment traces of an emotional breakdown were visible. Every time he hoped, he was let down. She never came. He vowed he would stop hoping and instead just go about and act as if she didn't exist. But that never happened. Every time his family met, his treacherous heart would start hoping only to have a chunk of it fall off when she failed to attend. Today was no different.

Then there’s the woman who he’d been talking to the whole afternoon. He was a tangled up mess of emotions and doubt and confusion. He had been sort-of pining after Nesta. She was exactly the person he’d like. Apparently she was drop-dead gorgeous, witty and… feral. Feyre said that. Feral. She’d be someone worth seeing. She was totally a worthy opponent. It’d be fun. But the other woman? Mother above, she was ethereal. More than ethereal, in fact. Words can't contain what he had to say about her.

He was damn near killing Az for calling him right when they were about to exchange names. He really can't believe he was a hairsbreadth away from knowing her before it was all ripped away. Now they were back to square one. He didn't know anything about her.

Azriel clapped him on his back so hard that he almost stumbled and fell. Or probably that was because he was too distracted. “All good Somm?”

“Mmm-hmm,” he replied noncommittally. He busied his hands with re-rinsing the champagne flutes and wiping them clean again. He did this two times already. Still.

“Mood is sour today, Cass?” Az teased, mock-frowning.

“Nah,” Cassian said wryly, “it's as sweet as honeydew. Especially today, when my chat got interrupted.” He glared at Azriel.

“Now, now, that is a story for another day. For now though, I think I've got something that can cheer up your brooding self.”

“What is it?” he mumbled.

Az grinned. “Nesta is here.”

***

Feyre and Elain took Nesta on a quick tour around the house. Feyre’s paintings were hung on the walls throughout the whole house. Nesta grimly noticed that there wasn't a single picture of her. There were even paintings of their father whose heart had long stopped beating. But none of hers. If only she didn’t push herself away, Nesta would’ve been a happy part of her sisters’ lives.

“I’m sorry,” she whispered. Feyre took her hand in hers. Elain tucked herself to Nesta’s side, wrapping her arms over her slender shoulders.

Nesta already met Mor, a stunning blonde woman, and Amren, a slightly intimidating and short person. Now she only had to meet her brother-in-laws.

“Let’s go meet the boys!” Elain said brightly.

We walked back to the garden. Feyre seemed to get more and more elated the closer we got to the garden. Huh. Probably falling in love would do that to someone. Anyway, as long as her sisters were happy.

They stepped through the doorway. The garden was decorated with more banners and streamers hung on the back of chairs and on the low branches. Again, it looked opulent in a simple way.

There were three men in the centre of the garden, gathered around a table. They all were slightly similar, broad shouldered, tapered waists, muscular limbs. Three of them wore formal shirts and pants clinging to their frames. The one in the middle was Rhysand, she supposed. She smirked internally. Of course Feyre ended up with this guy. She's got a good taste. Must've gotten it from the oldest sister.

The one on the right, though. His figure felt familiar. Very, very familiar. She couldn't quite put a finger on it yet.

“The one on the left is Azriel, the one on the right is Cassian,” Feyre said, and Nesta nodded.

The boys must be really engrossed with their conversation. They hadn't noticed the three of them yet.

The guy she thought was familiar threw his head back and laughed. She gasped. That laugh. She'd know the laugh anywhere. Indeed, when he angled his face so that she could get a glimpse, she knew she was done for. She swallowed with much difficulty.

“I need to go,” she said quickly.

“Go? But— but we haven't cut the cake yet. It's still early. We've got lots more fun stuff,” Elain said.

“You said you'll try, Nesta. Only, this doesn't feel like 'trying',” Feyre said.

They sounded… hurt.

Mother above, I'm doing this wrong.

“Nesta?” Elain asked. “Is something wrong?”

“Yeah,” Feyre added, “you look pale.”

“Y-yeah it's f-fine. Kinda. My head hurts,” she said, accidentally clutching her stomach. “I-I mean, yeah my head hurts. Very badly. I gotta go.” She looked helplessly at both of them. “I'm so sorry. I really am. It's just— I think I need rest. I'll recompense. Probably dinner in three days?” They both shared a look and agreed.

Nesta was already walking away. “Love you both,” she threw over her shoulder.

***

“Feyre!” Rhys called. He beckoned Feyre and Elain to the table. He didn't see Nesta.

Cassian lightly kissed Feyre on her cheek once they made their way to the table and said, “Gorgeous as always. Happy anniversary!”

Feyre grinned, but it showed traces of disappointment.

He frowned. “Hey, what's wrong?”

She just shook her head and mumbled, “Nesta.” Rhys's face hardened. His brother was never fond of Nesta. He said that she was why Feyre was always worried.

“Where's Nesta?” Az asked, craning his neck to see behind farther.

“She… left,” Elain pointed, revealing a figure disappearing behind the gates. A figure he knew all too well. Shitshitshitshit.

His head snapped back to his brothers. “That is Nesta?” he damn near shouted.

Rhys scowled, “Yeah.”

No wonder why she's so beautiful, he thought dumbly before running after her with a quick “I'll be back.”

***

Nesta was wrong. In all her happiness of being reunited with her sisters, she completely forgot how even a small thing can break one's smile. She felt like she couldn't breathe. She kept her calm demeanour, but inside, she was a raging storm of emotions.

One step in front of the other, she kept reminding herself.

She kept walking. Even when she heard footsteps. Even when the steps got louder. Even as he got close enough to cease running.

But not when he called her name. She halted. Locked up her emotions. She knew she shouldn't but she turned around anyway.

“What do you want?” she snapped.

“Nesta,” he breathed. She tried to hold back her shudder. It was from the night air, she told herself.

“If you have nothing to say, do let me know. I'm not going to wait forever,” she said. Harsher than she intended to. But she didn't care, at least, that's what she told herself.

Cassian winked, “I'm honored you came, sweetheart. I'll pass the credit to my influence on you. ”

She ground her teeth against the truth threatening to fall off her lips. Yes, I came here because you made me happy. And I thought that if I tried, as I did with you, I can rebuild my relationship with my sisters.

***

Cassian did something stupid. He grabbed her hand. Her eyes snapped to his, burning with anger. Like the day they first met.

He gave her a crooked grin that he knew would drive her mad. Well, more than she already was. He tilted his head to the garden, “The party is that way, love.”

She snatched back her hand at continued walking. Like a fool, he followed. “I spoke to my sisters. Told them I won't be staying tonight. And that we'll have dinner in three day's time. Does that satisfy you? Now, can you stop following me?”

“Something's wrong. What's wrong, Nes?”

“One,” she ground out, “don't call me that. Two, I'm a grown-ass woman; I know how to take care of myself. I don't need a babysitter.”

“You did. That day,” he said quietly.

She whirled on him, “Is this you taking back favours? Because I'm not interested. You want money? Take it. Tell me your price and fucking take it! Don't tread on my heels because you helped me, okay? I've got way better things to do.” She paused, “And don't follow me, Cassian.”

She turned and stalked away.

You want money? Take it. 'Take it.' As if he were a beggar, asking for alms. As if they weren't laughing at each other's jokes not more than an hour ago. As if he didn't spend a week taking care of her as if she were a part of his soul. Maybe she was.

But that was before, Cassian thought as his heart cleaved into two perfect halves. No— it smashed to a million tiny pieces.

He waited till Nesta was out of his line of sight. He turned and walked back to the garden, leaving his heart behind.

3rd Person's POV

" I thought we were going out to patrol again" Uraraka muttered and a majority of the class nodded in agreement.

They were supposedly going to the agencies they were training under to do their daily rounds of patrol but a sudden shift of their schedule got all of them gathered in Ground Beta for another suprise Physical Test Exercise.

" You were supposed to but unfortunately; a Villain attack happened near the train station and it caused damage on the tracks. It won't be fixed until Tomorrow. Meaning you're all stuck here doing 'Kiddy stuff' " Aizawa replied in his usual bored tone; hands buried inside his pockets as his shoulders sagged. The dark circle under his eyes were clear indication that he didn't get any sleep last night.

" Aww But sens--"

" Stop complaining. If you wanna be a Hero then you got to take it slow, Don't rush things. Plus... You don't see me complaining when I have to put up with all of you... " Aizawa Cut Sato off as he rubbed his temples " And dealing with all of you is not an easy job" He grumbled the last part and everyone picked up on his mood and just shut up.

" So... What exercise are we supposed to be doing today? " Momo questioned and everyone seemed to be interested in what their te aver had in store for them.

They were up for anything. As long as the penalty isn't an expulsion, the fear of their first day with their teacher still struck everyone with fear knowing how ruthless he could be.

" It's simple... Android Bots " Aizawa called out and from the entrance; loud stomping noises were heard, the stomping wasn't from just one but an army of Robots came marching out of ye entrance, stomping their metallic foot with in perfect harmony.

" Woah! "

Gasps of awe were heard from a few students as they stared at the bots with wonder.

" Let me guess... We're gonna be facing those junks here? " Y/n stated in a matter of fact. Katsuki who was right behind the female with arms wrapped around her waist and his chin resting on her shoulder just gave off a satisfied humm when y/n placed her hand ontop of Katsuki's own.

Aizawa who was too tired to give a sassy remark to his student's comment just nodded; and he won't even point out Bakugou's Clingyness seeing how the boy had reacted yesterday when he told him to minimize his Skinship with y/n. It didn't end well.

" This ain't cutting shit. Knowing you... There's a twist to this crappy test right? " Y/n countered and with a sigh Aizawa began to explain ;

" You're right Miss smarty pants. There's a twist. You guys will be judged individually, these bots can't do much damage but the bombs inside them are the ones you need to watch out for, if you destroy a Bot directly without dismantling the bombs first then... Of course you go Kaboom " Everyone flinched at Their Teacher's explanation especially with how nonchalantly he is as he did so.

" Ehhh!? B-but sensei... Isn't it a little bit too.... Cruel? " Mina interjected and aizawa shook his head.

" As a hero. You must always be prepared of every possible scenarios and surprises. Such as this, of course there are subtle indications whether a bot has a bomb or not.... So you gotta put your observational skills to good use and put that brain of yours to work. Spot the difference, dismantle the bomb and you're free to destroy it... Simple as that " Aizawa yawned as he waved off his student's shocked and terrified expression.

Everyone knew their team her isn't going to give them any more clues.

" He just wants to see us suffer.... " Jiro dead panned and everyone couldn't help but agree.

" You said we'll be graded individually.... So you're saying that we have to take out loud portions of those robots ourselves?" Y/n raised a brow when her sensei gave her a spine chilling smile.

" Yes, that's also part of the lesson. It's not everyday you'd get lucky to have another Hero to he paired with you... Sometimes you gotta work alone and most of the time The villain's you're gonna be facing won't be alone. So multi-tasking is the key... And since you're my 'favorite' student... You'll go first " Aizawa pointed at her lazily and she shot him a gentle smile.

A smile that seemed too gentle for this y/n to pull off. Something wasn't right with the way she smiled and everyone knew it.

" But... She might get hurt... I'll stay with her" Katsuki murmured tightening his hold around the girl.

" What? You think I can't handle myself? Get off me already loser. I need to release some stress and you're getting in the way. " Y/n without thinking much of how bad her words had affected Katsuki grinned as she pushed him off her roughly.

Katsuki tumbled back and he looked at her with a pained expression.

" Y-you think I'm a--"

" Get him outta here. He's fucking up my mood. " Y/n snapped as she jogged away from the group.

Katsuki who was fast to try and run up to her was pulled back by aizawa's scarf like fabric.

" Let her go Bakugou. "

" No! I Need Her! Y/n! " Bakugou whined and he had to be knocked out because he was starting to get aggressive.

"Everyone. To the Control room" Aizawa groaned and his students followed his command but go course they felt sorry for their classmate who was passed out cold.

_____________________

" Fucking Die! Hahahaha "

Everyone was silent as they stared at the screen; gawking at how monstrous their classmate could be. Was that even y/n? Because that screaming creature murdering those innocent robots while crushing them to pieces reducing them to junk was scarier than any villain they have ever seen.

" ..... Remind me to never piss y/n....ever" Kirishima gulped when 10 robots were sent flying off the ground with the girl wildly swinging a metal pole like a mad man continued her assault.

" S-she's doing a very accurate job at controlling that new quirk of hers though " Kaminari mumbled as he began thinking.

" But... That is not the opposite of her quirk... Unless.... Oh could it be? The quirk she has is a combined and mixture of mine and Bakugou's quirk ... I underestimated that villain's quirk " Kaminari began to mumble his thoughts out loud and it didn't go unnoticed.

" Well... What do we even call that quirk? "

Kaminari paused and gave a nod towards Uraraka " I suggest Electrical Combustion would fit the spunk" .

" She's doing a tad too good don't you think? "

" She's y/n. So it's no wonder "

___________________

Y/n slammed both of her hands on the ground creating an electrical current as well as a loud eruption of explosion to ensue underground sending the both flying before being completely engulfed and destroyed by either the flying debris, the roasting electricity or the destructive explosion.

With fluid like movement she shot out explosive electric bombs out of her palm that violently detonated when it came in contact with the robots.

She didn't have to worry about the exploding bombs inside the boys because she herself was more explosive than all of those bombs combined.

Her movements were accurate, powerful and spontaneous but her eyes showed how calculated and focused she was if people would ignore that sadistic grin spread out on her face.

She was merciless and with one final punch of the ground that sent a combined jolt of electricity and explosion that caused a mass breakage the fight was over. With no bots left standing at all.

The area was crumbling with ruined buildings and flying rocks and debris mixed with chunks of broken metal.

" Ahh... That hit the fucking spot " She grinned stretching her limbs after her little 'workout'

Meanwhile ------

Everyone was speechless at the display of power of their classmate. She was far too ruthless and she looked more like a villain---no monster from the screen.

And if you squint really hard earlier the students could see how the bots were running away from her instead of actually attacking her.

Y/n gained both the respect and fear of everyone after that bit of course they admired her for her brilliant performance meaning they didn't have to do the test because she destroyed all the bots in a blink of an eye.

" That..... Was so Manly! " Kirishima cheered and his cheer was joined by everyone else.

" Man! Who knew she knows some pretty sweet moves like that! I should ask her to teach me a few of those moves! " Sero commented punching the air.

" Well if you ask me that was rather terrifying.... The continuous onslaught of those poor robots was enough to petrify me for eternity. Not to mention she left us with nothing at all! " Iida sighed as he pushed his glasses up.

" Jeez, loosen up. She did all of us a favor " Jiro replied placing her hand on the slightly disappointed Iida.

Izuku on the side was vigorously writing down on his notebook with such intensity it made everyone pause for a moment to look at him; no doubt about it. He was taking notes about y/n.

Everyone was happy and Aizawa looked more like a proud father than an angry teacher.

But the same couldn't be said for Katsuki. He was sulking in the corner. Eyes dull and fists balled.

The little demon called jealousy was beginning to creep up again. He remembered the other day about Y/n wanting to be partners with Deku or Half and Half. And now that everyone saw how amazing his Girlfriend is, it made him sink deeper as his own insecurities began to swallow him whole.

" .... Do I even... Deserve her? " He mumbled to himself. Tears were already rolling down his cheeks while he pitifully sniffled.

His classmates were gazing at him. They looked inside of what they should do. They still couldn't get used to this new Katsuki.

Kirishima was about to approach and comfort his friend when suddenly Katsuki's body jolted from his spot before collapsing on the ground.

" Bakugou! " Kirishima exclaimed but another gasp was heard from the back.

" It's Y/n-san and Kaminari-san! " Izuku pointed out. Jiro was holding onto an unconscious Kaminari with the help of Tsuyu and on the screen it was pretty clear that y/n had also experienced the same thing and was now sprawled down on the ground.

Unmoving .

........ To be Continued.

[faustonastring]

Oh?? In the stuffed animal headcanons you mentioned furbies,,, my time to shine! Can I ask for headcanons of the main 6 with an s/o Who has a furby collection? And seriously doesn't get why people are afraid of them? I'm like Nadia, but I tinker with my furbies. I have about 60.

Hey! Thanks for requesting I hope you like it! ( I also agree with you, I don’t get why people are scared of them, I have two in my room atm if were being honest I just think they’re neat

Request r open!

Main Six with a Furby Fanatic Mc

Asra

If he doesn’t have one already. He has one now. And he’s happy with that. A little too happy if you ask me.

There have been times where you were wondering where the rent money has gone, then, enters asra, holding one of those 200 dollar long furbies, so it can ‘guard over the shop’ this is the third one and if he buys another one you have every right to be scared. He most definitely buys those stuffed animals with the furby face sewn on, that go for about 50-300 dollars, putting the both of you in more debt

He probably buys really cheap, probably most likely haunted ones from the thrift store and spiffys them up the best he can with out spending too much money. Congratulations asra put you in crippling debt because of his ‘cursed’ furby collection. He likes to paint them nice vibrant colors, and if you wear false lashes, he hot glues them onto your furbies- and if you don’t, he buys some. And good ones at that (the one time he tried using dollar store ones to hot glue on, they melted and ruined his whole creation.)

He vibes the hardest with the wizard furby and has spent a good chunk of your rent money to buy it. He doesn’t regret it though, it’s a great mascot for the shop, (if your still doing the witchy magick thing in a modern au, if your not he keeps it around anyway) he also likes the jester furby and proudly named it after lucio.

Nadia

She. Does. Not. Understand. Like at all. She’s trying too! A+ for effort, but uh-ohmygod

Look, if it makes you happy, she doesn’t mind, even though their lifeless eyes are staring into her soul.... Does she find it a bit unsettling? Yes. But she’ll push through and buy you as many as you’d like as long as you promise to keep them out of the bedroom and away from guest :)

She does find a lot of joy In tinkering with them though. If you were to buy a broken furby, and want it working, she’ll have it working in no time. One to do some major modifications but don’t want to mess it up. Babe she got you covered. Do you want one torn arpart so you could use the parts for another modification? She has it done. Also if you have any your not to wild about, she will gladly take them off your hands and use their parts for one of her projects.

I feel like Nadia would like customizing plain white ones a lot, I think she’d find it as a good stress reliever, but her favorite one has to be the limited edition Easter furby she thinks it’s cute and classy. It’s also to only one she doesn’t mind having out if you have company over.

Julian

God. Oh god. Oh god please no. No. Nope nope nope nope NOPE.

Look, your his light, the love of his life, he loves you more than anything in the whole world and he doesn’t want to deprive you of your interest, no not at all. Just why. Why must your interest be so.....interesting? No unique. Why must your interest be so..unique. That’s a nice way to put it. Unique

Some one mentioned under my post about the stuffed animals- I don’t remember who it was or what exactly it said but I remember the gist of it, (and if your that person and your seeing this make your self seen so you can get the credit- if you want it of course!) they pretty much said that Julian would be scared shitless if he were ever doing something and furby accidentally turned on, and I agree. Bonus points if it’s during sex, because not much turns Julian off, but a furby waking up in the middle of it say “feed me mama” definitely does the trick. Espically if it’s this bad boy. That’s also the breaking point for him. You can have them, just hide them some where when he’s around. Please for his safety and sanity.

Julian hates all furbies equally sorry. He doesn’t have one that he even tolerates, espically after the furby being hungry during sex incident.

Portia

“They’re so cute!” She digs it. She probably had a furby collection when she was a kid and proudly used them to torture Julian. She still does. Julian still has nightmares. From then and now.

She goes thrifting with you to buy some for cheap that the both of you can customize, together, (she makes it a weekly date night for the two of you to customize a furby together. How cute.) and often buys customized furbies from small Etsy creators because she loves buying from small brands/creators, no matter how expensive it may be.

She also loves customizing her own furbies, she has like a million diffrent dies, paints, furs, eyes, glitter, anything else you need. She’s got it. She usually doesn’t sketch out what she wants it to look like in advance, she just goes for it, but if she does have something specific in mind, she does a quick sketch of it so she doesn’t forget. (She also customized a furby that looks like you, it came out more creepy than cute, but you like it anyway)

She likes cute looking furbies more than the creepy, cursed, ugly ones *ahem* asra, but as I mentioned before she usually buys customized ones from small Etsy accounts, but she is a big fan of the pink furbish furby. She thinks it’s very pretty.

Muriel

Bold of you too assume that he will judge your interest in anyway shape or form. If anything he admires how comfortable you are in your own skin, and hopes he can be like that one day. One day...

He doesn’t mind where you keep them at, if company is over or not, and let’s be hones, is company really ever over? He also doesn’t care if you have them on or off, BUT. The furbies get put away when your having sex. You see unlike Julian. Muriel has comon sense. (Well, more common sense than Julian, I should say, they’ll all dumb in their own way. Except for Nadia.)

He’ll pick up furbies and supplies for you if he’s ever running an errand and sees one, or something you might like, or we’re looking for. He isn’t big on furbies, but doesn’t mind customizing them with you, it gives him something to do, and a excuse to spend time with you. So it’s a win-win in his book.

Like I said before, he’s not to big on furbies. The ones he likes most are the ones you make together. But he doesn’t mind silver wolf furby he thinks it’s near, plus it reminds him of Inanna

Lucio

Is very weirded out, and is not afraid of showing it. If he feels like he struck a nerve, he tries his best to cover it up, or play it off as a joke. But let’s be honest. It’s not a joke.

They don’t creep him out as much as they creep out Julian, they just....give him the heebie-jeebies. He also doesn’t really seem the appeal. Why would you want something that looks like that, and wants you to take care of it all the time. “Jeez for that we should just have/adopt a kid.”

If you tinker or customize them too often or for too long, he gets very impatient and needy, which is very ironic being that he just recently said that he didn’t like furbies because “they’re ugly and you need to take care of them all the time! They’re just sooOOOoo annoying!” Ah irony. Gotta love it.

Also unlike Julian he does infact have a favorite. The angel furby. And if you customize it, tinker with it, or ruin it. He pouts until you buy a new one. He likes the white and the gold ya’know. It’s kind of his thing

“Good boy.”

Nico shuddered at the praise, trying to reject it. His back burned. Every inhale forcing the ripped and swollen skin to stretch, a wet wheeze articulating his struggle. He couldn’t keep his head up, toes no longer fighting for purchase on the slick floor.

Fingers carded through his hair gently. Playing with the strands above the blindfold before tracing his hairline. “You tried so hard, didn't you? But you just couldn’t help it. It’s human nature, the fight for survival above all else.”

The light touch moved down his throat to his chest, making his quivering muscles jump, fear of new pain making him shake more. His hitched breaths burned in his throat, the taste of his blood more nauseating than ever.

“Don’t you see how dangerous you could be to them now?”

He couldn’t stop the hitching sobs as he nodded. “I-I’m... I’m s-sorry....”

The Boss hushed him, cupping his cheeks as he wiped at the blood dribbling down his lips. “I know. I know you are pet. You want to be good, right?”

“I- I wan... wan’ be ‘ood...” Shame coursed through him as his head bobbed in the Boss’s palms. Why’d he do it? He could’ve taken more. He didn’t have to tell them about Kristy. “‘Lease.... want to go home...”

“Oh don’t worry Pet, you’re going to go home.” The mans voice was soft, almost kind as it fed Nico a little bit of hope. “But we have to make you good first, don’t we? And to do that you need to be punished.”

Horror surged through him and he felt his heart stutter. He’d promised the pain would stop. “N-n-n-no... you..”

The Boss shushed him again, pushing a slender finger against his quivering lips. “Shh. I know Pet, but this isn’t to bring you pain. It’s to make you better, to make you good. Because Pet, you were very loud.”

“No..no...please....” His toes slid on the blood spattered concrete, sending spikes of pain through his mangled back.

The slender hand was replaced, a greasy palm clamping around his swollen lips, squeezing his cheeks. “What’d he say Love? You’re being too loud.”

The chains stopped supporting him, the Irishman’s other arm wrapping around his waist, crushing his mangled back against the stocky body before his knees hit the ground. He let out a muffled shriek into the man's hand, world fading in a flash of white hot pain—

Feet and shins sliding across concrete. Agony in his arms as he’s dragged—

—Roaring water, his face pressed against moist concrete. Pain in his hair and back as he’s pulled to his knees—

A harsh slap pulled him out of the half consciousness, a ragged groan joining the sound of water in his ringing ears.

A chuckle, and he keened as the grip on his hair shifted, pulling strands as another hand shoved between his raw shoulders. Shards of ice struck his bruised face, liquid invading his mouth to cut off his scream. The liquid burned his eyes and sinuses, what little air he’d had rushing from his mouth in a flurry of bubbles.

Thrashing, the water surged over him, submerging the bleeding welts on shoulders and back. He pushed against the bottom of the water container, too weak to find enough purchase to fight.

The hand in his hair brought him back up, pulling a chunk out from the roots as he choked and sputtered, the taste of salt thick in his mouth. “Salt water Love, gotta clean those cuts out good, don’t we? Make the lesson stick.”

The Irishman pushed him back under and he couldn’t help the instinctive gasp at the sudden change in temperature, making him inhale more water as his feverish skin was immersed in the freezing water again. His back burned as the salt water ate into the cuts, forcing the muscles to jump from the chemical stimulation.

The hand pulled him up by the throat, squeezing the cartilage as he was lifted off his knees. He clawed at the grip, the pressure from it making it impossible to cough. The salty water desiccating his lungs before he was shoved down again, knees slamming into concrete.

Nico retched as he was hauled out of the water, snot and blood stained water pouring from his face, mouth stretched trying to drag in air, lungs burning. “Gnnoo—gnooo mmm—“

The meaty hand wrenched his head backwards, lips brushing against his ear headless of his thrashing. “What was that Love? Hadn’t had enough yet?”

Water engulfed him, pulling strength away again and again, muscles twitching as they burned under the combined onslaught of the whip wounds and salt water. He couldn’t think past his next breath, lungs incapable of fully expanding through the punishment.

He stopped fighting as he was forced down, too focused on trying to inhale through his burning throat. Ice chunks surged into his lungs, cutting the soft tissues.

The thud of his heart echoed around him as he went slack, body too heavy to move, feeling fading into numbness—

—Heavy weight settled in his chest, water burning his eyes and nostrils as something heavy pushed into his chest-again?Gagging, Nico struggled to bring air through his abraded airway. A wheezing whistle preceded a slurry of bile and blood tinged water before he was shoved onto his side, a heavy hand concussing his flank as he coughed.

He mewled, convulsing as he heaved with sickness and pain.

“Hush now Pet, I’d hate to have to punish you again.”

Nico flinched as the voice registered in his waterlogged ears, pulling away from the slender hand that had come up to stroke his shoulders as they shook.

“Shhh. The punishments over now, you’re good. We made you good. You’ve started to learn so well Pet, just remember your rules and we won’t have to punish you.” The Boss’s slender hands traced the whip marks on his back, sending jolts of static through him as the magic stopped the steady trickle of blood.

Nico surrendered his limbs to the concrete beneath him, shivering violently. He never wanted to move again. He wanted to lay on the ice cold concrete and never wake up.

“Come on now Love, back to your room.” The Irishman jerked him up by his arms, throwing him over a thick shoulder. Nico gasped as his injuries were jostled, his broken ribs crunching against the man's shoulder sickly.

He didn’t make a sound.
