#It's his emotional support childish prank

[puppetmaster13u]

Prompt 71

Klarion is delighted, excited, impatient, and so very happy. He’s found a friend, not the justice league baby-crew who don’t know how to make friends properly or the order-magician who doesn’t play right, but another realm-being his age! They’re even around the same death-date, his is just a couple years earlier! But to beings who aren’t adults until they’re well into the hundreds that’s practically nothing!

His new friend even has a familiar too- even if he has to explain what a familiar is- and, and even shares his two other friends with him! 

He’s been in this world for what feels like so long trying to make friends and he’s made three in just a month! And they even know how to properly play and wrestle without targeting Teekl like a certain order lord who he doesn’t like. 

Oh! Hey it’s the justice league kiddy-crew! Were they feeling neglected or something?

[thaylepo]

actually it's hilarious to watch and that's why he did it

Imagine Ax trying to teach the other Animorphs Driftball but the gravity’s all wrong and it just doesn’t work right.

summary: how would haikyuu boys react when you give them a silent treatment.

SUNA RINTARO

Suna’s keen observation and logical reasoning are always on point. That’s why whenever you try opening up to him regarding your problems and worries, he’ll shut them out in the most logical way he could.

Usually, when you are feeling overstimulated with your emotions, you just need a breather and you already know what to do. However, your boyfriend could not understand that yet at some point.

So when you tried opening up regarding the pressure of reviewing for college applications, you were already shut down with his remarks such as “Well, you can try reviewing harder, right? There’s nothing we can learn in this world so use your resources appropriately”

“Rin, I know what to do! Can you just…listen to me and maybe offer some comfort if you can?” “Why? What’s the point of ranting when you could’ve done something about it and actually made a difference?”

You hated that he’s right and you hated that you couldn’t do anything about it. To prevent yourself from detonating like a bomb, you picked all your things up and left his room as quickly as you could to get some fresh air.

With a huge sigh, his foxy eyes just twitched as he watched your figure disappear from his sight.

You figured out that it's best to just chill out and let everything flow before approaching your boyfriend again because honestly, your mind is still declining from everything.

However, your plan to chill out seems like a little bit hard to carry out, especially when you are also the manager of the Inarizaki VBC.

When their preparation for the incoming practice match with another school started and you did not even bother to look Suna's way, the Miya twins exchanged glances and instantly knew that there was something wrong.

The way your gaze shifted and avoided him during the meeting, Suna felt like his heart was being bruised a fist. He never thought that you avoiding him and giving him a silent treatment could hurt this bad.

The first round of practice just finished and he was already lingering towards you, expecting that you’ll hand his bottle of pocari sweat; however, when he saw you leaving as soon as you saw him towards you, he knew he had enough.

“Come on, Y/N,” he spoke, hand quickly grabbing your elbow in a soft way to prevent you from escaping. “Don’t give me this silent treatment. It hurts here,” he then pointed at his heart, eyelids  drooping.

“I’m sorry, I couldn’t really give you the support and comfort you needed. But maybe if you can enlighten me with how I can help you, maybe we can understand each other more.”

Suna doesn’t lie. It hurts him so much seeing you ignore his presence like he wasn’t existing at all. He doesn't like the feeling. He loathes it so much.

Atsumu will definitely try to pull some shitty pranks however, Kita was fast enough to stop him and pull him by the hem of his shorts before he could do something.

The both of you talked, almost forgetting that Suna is in the middle of training.

The Inarizaki VBC intentionally left the two of you and continued with the practice, letting you guys fix the childish argument you had.

Right after that, Suna was on fire and didn’t even slack off the whole training. In his mind, he's definitely thinking of ways to make it up to you after his training. In fact, he's already thinking of taking you to eat ramen with him which is your comfort food and make you talk to him about your worries once again.

He promised himself that he'll listen and give you advice or comfort or maybe both with a few hugs and kisses to ease you up.

“Should we try setting something to make Rintaro and Y/N argue and make it up before a match so that Suna will be on his best game?” Atsumu proposed.

“Don’t even think about it. I’ll bury you.” Suna answered with his eyes shooting lasers towards the blond male.

MIYA ATSUMU

Arguments with him usually lasted the whole day, depending on how deep the fight was or how petty his actions were. However, this particular argument lasted for 3 straight days. It can actually be fixed however, your boyfriend chose to be an ass instead of talking this shit thoroughly with you.

When his brother, Osamu called you at 8 in the evening to help him calm his idiot brother down who nearly trashed the whole gymnasium of Inarizaki just because he wasn’t having his best day and play, he chose to ignore you and your attempts to soothe his frustrations out which escalated into a heated argument and bickering in front on the whole Inarizaki volleyball team.

If it wasn’t for Kita interfering and saying something like “you know that you could be benched in the following games if you continued doing this, right?” then he wouldn’t calm down and stop throwing the volleyball everywhere.

When you attempted to be the bigger person and sat down to have a talk with him, he decided to fold and close himself with every option and raised his voice at you which made your blood boil.

After making sure that Osamu took his brother home safely, you went back home alone and left a few text messages but he never texted or called you back. So, you figured out that it’s the cue and both of you needed some space and time to cool down.

On the second day of the argument, it was hell for Atsumu. He tried calling you twice. However, you still feel shitty with the way he acted on you that day so you never answered his calls.

He left multiple missed calls accompanied with messages like ‘baby please answer the phone’ ‘😭😭😭’ ‘i missed you. I’m sorry, i was an ass’

A day after, there’s a few knocks on your doors and you were welcomed with Atsumu in his usual volleyball training outfit, head hanging low with both of his hands inside the maroon pockets of his university jacket.

“I’m sorry,” he said with the softest voice you’ve ever heard. “Can I come in?”

Upon closing your door, he didn’t even give you time to adjust with his presence and instantly pulled you into a hug.

“Wait—Are you crying?” “The hell I’m crying! Yer not answering any of my calls and messages! I thought I’m gonna lose you!”

And there he is, Atsumu the big baby like he always is. Rolling your eyes, you gave him a few good smacks before talking everything through and reminding of the boundaries and of course, letting him let out all of his frustrations.

Atsumu will definitely feel like the shittiest person ever after realizing that he just yelled at you in front of the whole team. He also got some punches from Osamu after they went home that day.

“I’m so sorry baby. I know it’s not an excuse but please, don’t give up on me. I’m working on becoming a better person every day.”

The following days were spent with him making up with you and apologizing to Inarizaki VBC.

Surely, he earned a few punches from Osamu again because what he did is still an ass move.

•He frequently references or quotes from pop culture of past decades, showing his childlike engagement with media he grew up with. This could involve discussing old TV shows, movies, or music with a sense of nostalgia

Martin Bryant Warning Signs

Martin Bryant’s actions leading up to the Port Arthur massacre revealed a troubling pattern of behaviours that, in retrospect, illustrated his capacity for violence. These warning signs painted a picture of a deeply disturbed individual whose tendencies went unaddressed.

Animal Cruelty

One of the most blaring indicators of violent tendencies in Bryant was his early documented cruelty to animals. He engaged in acts such as shooting animals repeatedly– namely birds –and destroying their nests. Animal cruelty is often recognised as a significant red flag, linked to deficits in empathy, poor impulse control, and an increased likelihood of escalating violent behaviour. Bryant’s disregard for the suffering of animals highlighted a pattern that would later manifest in his interactions with people.

Destructive Behaviour

From a young age, Bryant exhibited destructive and reckless behaviour. He pelted rocks at his peers and shot at passing vehicles. While some may have dismissed these actions as childish pranks, they were, in retrospect, precursors to more severe violent actions. Such behaviours and a lack of interference reflected a concerning normalisation of aggression in Bryant's everyday life.

Isolation and Bullying

Social rejection and isolation were key factors in Bryant’s upbringing. He struggled to connect with others, leading to feelings of alienation and resentment. His awkwardness and inability to bond with peers, combined with frequent bullying, exacerbated his emotional detachment. Individuals who experience significant social rejection are often at greater risk of developing violent tendencies, particularly when their inability to form meaningful relationships fuels anger and bitterness.

Emotional Detachment

Psychiatrists and mental health experts noted Bryant’s lack of emotional connection to others. His inability to feel empathy or remorse, coupled with actions that were intentionally harmful were critical warning signs. Emotional detachment often prevents individuals from experiencing guilt or taking responsibility for their actions, enabling further escalation.

Expressed Desire to Harm Others

Bryant’s violent tendencies were not exclusive to his actions. He frequently voiced fantasies about harming others, including specific threats. For instance, he expressed a desire to kill Helen Harvey, indicating that his violent ideation was not limited to abstract thoughts.

Furthermore, in the lead-up to the massacre, Bryant reportedly spoke of committing large-scale violence. This shift, coupled with his disconnection from reality, underscored the growing danger he posed. Such statements should have been recognised as part of a broader pattern of escalating violent ideation.

Psychiatric Assessments

Psychiatric evaluations revealed significant mental health concerns, including indications of possible schizophrenia. However, despite these findings, meaningful intervention was lacking. While Bryant’s family and mental health professionals noted his antisocial behaviour, emotional instability, and inability to hold a job, efforts to provide him with financial support and overall stability fell short of addressing his deeper psychological needs. At the time, mental health issues were often treated with stigma and shame, leading to a reluctance to seek or provide comprehensive treatment. This societal perception likely contributed to the lack of adequate intervention, leaving Bryant's underlying issues to fester unchecked.

Presenting the Corona Royal family!

Saundra

Saundra is the eldest daughter of Rapunzel and Eugene, and her name is a homage to Rapunzel’s best friend, Cassandra. Much like her namesake, Saundra possesses a 'tough-as-nails' demeanor, coupled with a snarky and sarcastic attitude. She is also very intelligent like her mother and is often found reading, studying, and charting stars. Saundra's intelligence, however, is not limited to academics; she is also skilled in sword fighting and other forms of combat, relying on clever strategies rather than brute strength. Her snarky comments are also intelligent as she sometimes subtly insults people, she doesn’t like in clever ways that go over their heads. Despite her outward toughness, Saundra can be vulnerable and is capable of showing and feeling legitimate emotion. She is extremely supportive and protective of those she loves and would break the rules to keep them safe. Saundra shares her mother's free-spirited nature, finding joy in adventure, embracing the thrill of the unknown, and living life to the fullest. In many ways, Saundra is a blend of her parents' best qualities. Like Eugene, she can be comedic and like Rapunzel, she embraces the thrill of the unknown. Like her aunt Cassandra, she is tough and can be a little cynical. Saundra is a character who navigates life with a sharp wit, a strong sense of loyalty, and an adventurous spirit.

Hazel

Hazel is the middle child and second daughter of Rapunzel and Eugene. Growing up surrounded by the tales of Rapunzel's courageous journey and Eugene's daring ventures, Hazel inherited an adventurous spirit and unwavering determination. Possessing a magnetic charisma, Hazel effortlessly draws people towards her with her genuine and compassionate nature. Loyalty is the cornerstone of her character, and she fiercely guards those she holds dear. Despite being born into royalty, Hazel's heart longs for the thrill of the unknown. Her adventurous spirit craves exploration, and she approaches life with an insatiable curiosity. Hazel's artistic talents shine through in every aspect of her being. Whether through painting or drawing, she effortlessly transforms her surroundings into vibrant and colorful environments. Inheriting her father's slippery hands and mischievous ways, Hazel and her twin brother Flynn are known for their playful antics. If anything goes missing in the castle, it's a safe bet that Hazel and Flynn are behind the disappearing act, injecting a sense of lighthearted mischief into their royal surroundings. Hazel's presence is a breath of fresh air, a blend of artistic brilliance, adventurous spirit, and a mischievous twinkle that lights up the hearts of those around her.

Flynnigan

Flynnigan, mostly called Flynn, is the youngest child of Rapunzel and Eugene and the mischievous twin brother of Hazel. He is a very fun and silly person who is really outgoing, so of course he is adventurous as well. Like his sister he can be mischievous but, in a trouble-making sort of way. While his playful nature can be endearing, he tends to get on Saundra’s nerves as he can be careless, a little obnoxious, and immature.

When he teams up with Hazel for some ill-fated pranks, he is quick to backstab and flee the scene, despite being the mastermind behind the antic. His parents know it’s clearly his fault though, so he gets in trouble in the end. Like his dad he is comedically inflated, to the point where he relies on his charisma to sneak his way out of a potentially dangerous situation. He is something of a gentleman trouble-maker and acts polite even to those he betrays. Regardless of all this, he means well and never intends to inflict harm deliberately and genuinely feels remorse when his escapades land his sister in trouble. Flynn is just childish and needs to mature a bit, something that Hazel understand. She knows that Flynn feels bad when things go wrong so she doesn’t mind taking the blame once in a while.

While Saundra and Flynn buttheads, Saundra admires some of her brother’s jokes as he too can be snarky and sarcastic. Their shared love for sword fighting provides common ground, allowing them to connect in unexpected ways. However, Flynn's closest bond remains with Hazel, forged through shared interests and personality traits. Like his mom and twin sister, Flynn is highly creative and has an aptitude for a number of different hobbies and crafts. His most notable talent is art, as he is able to paint beautiful works such as portraits and landscapes.

While he may have some growing up to do, Flynn's heart is in the right place.

Incredibly long list of Jevil headcanons

-Jevil's tail is detachable. He often uses his tail like an extra leg or an extra arm

-He can talk through his tail as well, so sometimes he uses it as some sort of stand alone puppet show, where he pretends the tail is alive and has conversations with it

-His hat responds to his emotions. Jevil can have trouble with facial expressions, his hat helps a little

-In fact, Jevil tends to smile most of the time, even when he is upset

-Cape transforms into wings (like meta knight)

-The yellow pupils allow him to have night vision. They also glow in the dark

-He is like a cat and can hide his claws

-Shark theeth!

-Jevil can shapeshift! Not just as the devilsknife, he can be anything! It does require a lot of magic so he doesn't do it as often as he'd like

-Head detaches if he gets hurt or surprised, but he has learned to also detach it at will to prank people

-His shoes can make funny noises as he walks

-He doesn't need to sleep everyday and he can sleep for a hundred years, he needs a special alarm clock to wake him up, if he is not careful he could sleep for longer than intended

-Similar to goats, Jevil was borned without horns, they grow with time

-His tail didn't form a 'J' yet either, it grows when he is older as well

-He has his cape, but it doesn't transform into wings yet

-Jevil's first words were 'chaos', of course

-As a kid, Jevil used to say he would like to run away and join the circus, but his parents were so good and supportive he never had any reasons to run away

-Speaking of, Jevil has two parents, devils like him. They are bigger than he is as an adult, he has always been a small little devil

-His parents like scary stuff, but very corny ones, things that really aren't scary at all, just halloween stuff for kids that don't even scare the kids, but Jevil loves it too

-Jevil is the only one of his family with a love for jester stuff, that's one thing they could never fully relate to, but they were very supportive anyway. In fact, maybe too supportive, they encouraged Jevil pranks a lot

-Jevil was a funny kid, usually made other kids laugh all the time, but he didn't have many friends, or at least not long-lasting friends. As he grows older, Jevil doesn't mind that too much (as long as he is not completely alone with no one to play with), but as a kid, it did make him upset a bunch of times

-Jevil doesn't have siblings but he does have cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. The family reunions were really fun! Even if Jevil didn't have friends, he didn't feel completely alone because he had his family. It's only when he is with other kids at school when he feels that loneliness more heavily

-Tired of feeling rejected, as a teenager Jevil goes through some sort of 'emo phase', where he pushes away anything related to jester stuff, instead he seems more invested now in 'grim reaper' sort of stuff. He pretends he hates games and fun, since people found him 'childish' for that in the past, now he just hates everything and is miserable because I guess that's more 'mature'. Needless to say, he was really unhappy during these years of his life

-Jevil starts thinking about his identity a little bit around this time, especially about his gender

-As a young adult however, Jevil goes back to his usual self and he loves jester stuff more than ever, he fully embraces it. In fact, he just fully embraces himself now, he loves playing games, he loves wearing jester outfits, he loves being fun, if people don't like him then he doesn't need them. This is a good thing, but with time Jevil does push it a bit too much and starts pushing other away (in case it's not obvious, Susie parallel)

-Jevil starts to identify as man, he is trans, and it's when he starts going by the name of 'Jevil'

-Jevil went to a jester school, there is in fact a jester school. He annoyed the teachers and classmates frequently but he was one of the best students

-Jevil probably had one or two close 'friendships' before his days as the court jester. They didn't end well. They were probably the reason why he pushed people even more further away. Seam was his real first friend

-Let me explain this a bit better, I think the way Jevil pushes people away is not by acting cold, quite the opposite, he tries to be as annoying as possible to others, pranking them or making fun of them. I do feel bad for Jevil but he is indeed a little mean and I like that about him! A lot of his isolation is entirely his fault but you understand why he chooses to act this way, and the thing is this is something that I don't think he fully realizes he is doing anymore, he has internalized it, he has accepted people aren't going to like him so he is at least going to have fun and he has found happiness this way, so why change it?

-With time Jevil finds out more about himself. He is greyromantic, he feels romantic attraction, but it flunctuates, sometimes he feels strong romantic feelings, other times he feels little to no romantic attraction and other times he feels platonic and romantic as the same thing. He is ace too, he is a walking ace flag after all and of course, he's gay as well

-Jevil only kisses people if it's a good punchline, for anything else he doesn't do that. He does like holding hands and hugging, and he puts a funny sign if your back if he hugs you

-In case it wasn't obvious by now, Jevil is autistic

-He stims with his hands, tail and hat. He vocally stims all the time, he loves imitating noises. He has a chew stim toy in the shape of a spade

-He of course has a strong hyperfixation with jesters. He also likes animals like ducks, horses and sharks

-He collects rubber ducks, why do you think we see so many in his attacks

-He's really good with animals in general, they like him too. The animal crackers for example, they used to play together all the time. Jevil likes bothering people, but he is always going to be nice to animals

-Jevil is older now, he has moved away from his home (I'm assuming it was a shop, or perhaps a lightner's house, and now he is in the card kingdom, a classroom) and he has had a couple of jobs as a jester, from parties to small shows. Queen saw a couple of his show when she was taking a walk, she thought he was funny

-There were autitions for the next court jester, Queen told him about it and he tried to get the job. Everyone was impressed by his talent so he was hired

-Jevil is a great court jester, but not everyone likes him too much ouside of shows, he doesn't really listen to anyone and does whatever he wants, now he has a bigger excuse to do that. He pulls pranks on people and overall just thinks of ways to entertain himself

-Queen does like him, again, she thinks he is funny. She shows him funny internet videos and memes all the time

-The thing is, Jevil doesn't always get internet humor, he is not a very online kind of person, he is hundreds of years old, he is a bit of a boomer. He does find some jokes funny, but the ones he doesn't get, he pretends he does get it and laughs, but internally he is so confused and frustrated, he is supposed to be the funniest guy ever, he should understand every joke. He wants to understand so sometimes he studies memes for hours to find their meaning

-Jevil thinks Queen is this super cool powerful and fun leader that is way way better than the other kings. He is right. He doesn't get why she is not the only one in charge of this place

-Jevil tried Queen's acid once, bad idea, not because acid is dangerous for him but because it makes him incredibly hyperactive (for those who have played Wandersong, think of that scene where Bard drinks coffee)

-Queen wants people to be happy, Jevil offers ideas to make people laugh but they are all things that would only make him laugh, Queen thinks his ideas are awesome

-Apart from Queen, Jevil is rather lonely, but he finds his way to play games and have fun anyway

-That is of course, until Seam finally arrives and becomes the court magician. Jevil doesn't really care when he hears the news of his new coworker, if anything, he just sees it as a good opportunity to pull a prank on someone who is not going to expect it. But what he wasn't expecting is that Seam would actually laugh and find it funny. After that he is very curious to find out more about them!

-Seam is very busy at first, but Jevil tries to find ways to approach them and talk, which is unusual for him, but Seam has left a really good impression on him, he thinks Seam is very interesting! Seam is happy to talk too because Jevil also made a good impression on them

-They get along very well very quickly, would they call each other a friend? Perhaps. Perhaps not. But they definitely really liked spending time together

-Seam was always happy to join Jevil's games whenever they could: from card games, to hide and seek, to battles. No matter what, they both had fun

-Jevil will prank people if they bother Seam, that includes the kings. Jevil doesn't usually annoy people for others, it's usually for his own amusement, so it feels nice when he does it for someone he cares about

-Seam teaches Jevil to sew, Jevil makes very awful scarves and gloves on purpose just to give them to Seam as a purposely bad gift that they have to accept. In reality, he gets really good at sewing! But he prefers when Seam sews his hat or cape when they need a little fixing

-Seam and Jevil really don't have a label for their relationships. Well, they do, they are companions

-I don't know when Jevil met Spamton, but he really liked this guy, before or after meeting Gaster I have no idea, but he just likes Spamton a lot, he is funny. Don't let Spamton lie to you, he used to think Jevil was funny too

-Spamton also shows Jevil funny memes

-Jevil sometimes asks Spamton to include a prank on his spam email, like a rick-roll

-Jevil sometimes talk about his romantic life to Seam, but Jevil is a good companion and knows Seam is romance-repulsed aromantic so he is only going to talk about it for a couple of minutes

-Jevil and Spamton date for a while, it does end up in break up but Jevil still likes Spamton, he would love to be friends, Spamton is the only one who thinks this break up ended bad

-Spamton cheated.... at chess :(

-Task Manager would often comically follow Jevil around and try to catch him and stop him if he created too much chaos chaos

-Task Manager doesn't like Jevil but this was a fun rivarly, most people just find Jevil annoying and don't talk to him, Task Manager made things fun, in some way they are friends

-Rouxls Kaard finds Jevil annoying, but they both love theatre and they prepare theatrical plays together. Usually things go wrong, like if they were in the muppets show, but everyone likes the performance anyway

-Jevil and Gaster are still a big mystery, but I like to think they truly are friends, the first friend Gaster made in a long time. Maybe at that moment, Jevil needed a new friend as well

-When Jevil finds out about DR lore, he sees the world as a game. When he finds himself in a scary situation where he thinks everything in their world is meaningless life, his response is to find a way to at least make it entertaining for himself, to play a game. Regular Jevil would realize that this is too far, but this is a Jevil that has changed, his personality is practically the same, his coping mechanism is the same, but he has pushed it too far because he is in a very desperate situation. Just because Jevil doesn't seem desperate or upset, like Spamton does, doesn't mean he is okay, he is not. I don't know how can someone that uses games as his only source of comfort no matter how deadly they can be be considered to be 'okay' at all

Jevil is someone that seems like he doesn't care about anything at all, that the only emotion he feels is happiness even at the expense of others, and the thing is, that's what it might seem like because that's what he shows you at first glance, but deep down he is way more complex than that

Jevil does feel lonely, that's something Jevil is very familiar with, even if that loneliness is just a lack of someome to play games with, that's important to Jevil, he truly and genuinely feels alone and he has been alone for a hundred years. Jevil doesn't deserve that, even if he makes wrong choices, even if he pushes people away, he does need someone to be there for him. And Kris, Susie and Ralsei played a game with him and that's all he needed, that was the best you could do for him and that's all he needed to stop his numbers game, he just needed to have fun, to play games with someone. After that, he is your ally

-Susie is Jevil's favorite, of course she is, he thinks this kid is funny and awesome, he can relate to her and she is the easiest to talk to. Susie finds him strange but also kind of funny, and he seems to understand her, he is not so bad I guess

-Jevil might probably be the only character so far that has any idea of how Susie's home life is like, because if you equip him with Susie, he stays in her pockets

-Jevil thinks Kris is cool and he thinks it's funny to annoy Ralsei

-I feel like I have so many headcanons about Susie and Jevil I could just make a cartoon show about them so I will shut up now

-Anyway, I don't like Jevil

[piperslovebot]

Saw @einsteinsugly’s post about the kids from her verse and I kinda wanna do mine.

Layla Quinn Kelso - She's very kind and sweet but gets vicious on Halloween. (her and Betsy have a yearly prank off)

Trevor Nicholas Canton - Confident and self assured. He's also very smart and gets straight A's in school. He's basically what Finn Hudson tried to be but failed miserably. He's also on the football team.

Alisha Amira Callesti - Kind, intelligent, and minds her business. Despite being Jo's best friend, she doesn't agree to her meanness and ways of torture and does the right thing by them.

Jared Michael Kwan - He's a very reserved and introverted person despite being besties with the very extroverted Jo Mitchell. He loves being on the computer and playing video games with his friends. Similar to Alisha, he doesn't agree with Jo's methods of torture. He's also a very loyal person to the people he cares about.

Joanna "Jo" Star Mitchell - She's a lot similar to Jackie, being like a 'queen bee with a heart of gold'. She cares a lot of about what people think of her and tries to maintain a certain image of having this shiny, lavish, and rich life. But she has a lot of pain, anger, and resentment deep down that she doesn't show.

Ryland Clifford Barnes - He's basically early seasons Kelso and Nate, except with little to no redeeming qualities. He acts like some sort of god but is really just an arrogant douchebag. He's a terrible boyfriend and has no qualms about having sex with other women, despite being with Kelly. He also has no problem bragging to his teammates about his sexcapades and hitting on other women. He barely listens to, let alone respects Kelly as an individual. Alisha even broke up with him during freshman year because he kept trying to touch her boob without consent. He also doesn’t believe girls can play sports and has tried sabotaging the girls’ sport teams several times.

Mikayla Annapoorni Burke - She’s a very intelligent person and super supportive of her friends. Not to mention, super chill and easy going. Similar to Aneesa from nhie.

Sharon Michelle Adams - Sharon is very thought driven person and tends to prioritize logic over emotion. But she is very loyal and cares a lot about the people she loves.

Sarah Paige Mitchell - Sarah is a very sweet girl who cares deeply about other people’s emotions. She’s wise beyond her years and can be pretty stubborn at times. Sarah is also a good listener and supportive friend.

Etienne Marshall - I haven’t thought much for Etienne but I feel like similar to Ozzie, he can be brutally honest and into acquired tastes but at the same time, wears his heart on his sleeve more often.

Ridge Pinciotti - He’s very laid back and enjoys partying and having fun. Unlike Kristie, Delilah, and Mitch, he doesn’t really care for monogamy nor being in a serious relationship. He can see the appeal and is supportive of his friends but he’s not super into that. Some of the girls he hooks up with try to change his mind but it never works. He’s a bachelor and buddy at heart.

Raquelle "Kelly" Michelle Shaland - She’s a very bubbly and happy girl who enjoys chemistry and doing experiments. Kelly may come off as shallow at times, but isn’t even remotely close to shallow. She’s also a very forgiving person (too forgiving sometimes) and tends to have a hard time figuring out who she is on her own.

Mitchum Eduardo Pinciotti - He can be pretty mischievous and do some childish antics but truly has a good heart. He claims to not do relationships and tries to be bachelor-like just like Ridge but fails (I.e. Lilah)

Delilah Reed - She’s a lot similar to Kristie, with being rebellious and outgoing, yet still having a soft heart. But her, it’s kinda at a different extent. For my followers that watch degrassi, Kris would be like Spinner Mason and Delilah would be like Jay Hogart.

Serena Marotti - She’s very outgoing and comfortable with her sexuality. She’s also a part of the soccer team and wants to an athlete in the future and get into Stanford. She doesn’t exactly have the best track record with guys but it doesn’t stop her from being able to open her heart and leave her guard down.

Gwendolyn "Gwen" Patricia Runck - Same as canon

Nathaniel "Nate" Glenn Runck - Same as canon but he matures a lot when he starts hanging with Sarah.

Osmund "Ozzie" Chen - Same as canon

Nikki Alison Garcia - Same as canon

Kristina "Kristie" Anne Marie Forman - She is a very mischievous and reckless person similar to her mom but deep down, has a lot of anger and pain she tries to let go of. She gets straight A’s in school

Elizabeth "Betsy" Victoria Kelso - She’s super blunt and outgoing. Betsy doesn’t take any shit and will be anyone’s worst nightmare if they hurt her and/or the people she loves. She’s part of the dance team and has been dreaming of being one since she saw Angelina Ballerina (let’s pretend there was a version that came out in the eighties). Similar to Serena and her other friends hitting on Jay, Jay’s friends often hit on her as well. Betsy also has a thing for rebels lol.

Leia Anne Forman - Same as canon

Jason "Jay" Michael Kelso - Also same as canon

[liliallowed]

an au where crimson just escapes Gaster's containment and meets sans crying over his dusted family.

crimson is really weak their artificial soul is incomplete and their soul is basically in a juvenile state so they're actually pretty weak.

so I imagine they can't "reset" just yet but they CAN "revive". like their influence doesn't work on the whole world just yet but they can still come back.

if sans goes down a dark path they'll probably follow him around continuing to insist to be friends.

why? cuz he's funny and silly. cuz he's the first person they've met ever since breaking out of that STUPID BOX. and also because they promise they'll never die.

ironically I don't even think if sans killed anyone as a kid he'd... I mean that doesn't really turn you into a serial killer but it WILL DEFINITELY traumatize you.

I feed like the two meeting REALLY Early on changes a lot of dynamics.

kinda like childhood best friends.

actually I think in this au they'd have more of a platonic bond because they grew up together as kids.

and like sure you could argue childhood friends can become romantic but I think crimson would view him as a friend.

yeah. not enough platonic crimson dust stuff with zero romance! ME LIKE!

I feel like they'd probably take the role of the emotional support. and due to them being immortal dust isn't afraid to actually just kill them as a prank cuz they did that shit at the time as kids laughing with glee.

no one was exactly there to say it's WRONG and crimson doesn't feel pain.

I feel like a sans that became a "dust" code wise since childhood... would have a really easy time killing. no moral dilemma no struggle. it's just how he's learned. it's "normal". and he would have a personality closer to fanon. because well... while he did form attachments he lived most of his life with crimson

and the two fucked around timelines a bunch laughing giddily with no consequences. crimson would have no consequences and enable both sans and themself to do horrible shit without feeling guilty.

then again I don't THINK they'd kill people forever? maybe they played those competitive games just to see who scores a higher LV each run... they'd treat the world as a game at first when they were kids.

but only as kids.

now? it just feels... childish? boring? I feel like sans would get bored and want to explore different stuff while crimson sticks to the habits "for old times sake"

they'd probably start fighting and argue over it.

that how long is crimson planning on playing ring around the Rosie. that he's TIRED of "games".

meanwhile crimson would argue that no one understands. that NO ONE REMEMBERS THEM. that they'll always be alone.

sans would probably shrug it off and say it's "worth checking out" or give a chuckle and say: "and? what about it? I thought I was the lazy one making dumb excuses"

cuz like... his code isn't like killer. it runs on a script beyond the influence of determination or crimson's whims. heck he's not even obligated TO KILL.

because if the script was broken BEFORE THE GAME EVEN BEGAN then that IS THE NEW SCRIPT. no self fulfilling prophecies. no timeline termination.

dust could just hand out at grillby's without saying much and probably start to socialize more.

I think they'd eventually grow distant but still care.

cuz if that's what sans wants crimson will support it. probably leave the timeline be...

UNTIL the prince dies.

then things get interesting for them.

they mess around a bunch more, dust sneaking in the buttercups with the cup of butter so chara never gets to have the plan.

things are boring. buncha humans fall down then die of old age...

sometimes one was DETERMINED enough to overpower crimson's save...

dust would definitely take care of them though because that shit scared both of them half to death for the first time.

like it never really occured to them that rests could be... lost?

they started treating this more seriously and stopped fucking around time and space letting the prince die... for the king to wage war..

and... apparently w new royal scientist was hired?

sans did would not step FOOT in the lab so crimson went for a direct visit instead.

turns out she was studying the old man's research and crimson was curious about how resets worked so they sorta let alphys take a few samples.

it was fine. if anything bad happened they'd just reset and undo it!

again another argument with sans and how careless they are before they found a new friend.

apparently the prince was... alive? a flower woke up crying calling out to the former queen and the king.

they found him and when they messed around with him prodding... and then undid the questions... HE REMEMBERED.

crimson was overjoyed while dust was extremely in protective distrustful mode.

anyways I feel like flowey crimson and dust would be friends. a bit morally questionable but the world was technically on a three sided dice on who got to control it...

they would actually probably take turns on each timeline. ... still feel like dust would probably default into keeping his share of the timeline just... chilling in the library or just letting the days go by until monsters started dying of starvation or somehow broke the barrier to the surface.

to him none of it really mattered as long as he got to read his books and just... enjoy things at his own pace.

flowey and crimson wanted to rule as gods tho.

well mostly flowey. crimson was just there to compete lol.

I feel like they would have already explored every option and eventually all grow depressed 😂.

though then they want to get ROD OF resets all together. cuz it's starting to bother all of them.

like... maaaaaybe immortality isn't great.

idk it's lAte I'm eepy bye

X-Men: BRAND NEW EVOLUTION - The Final Wave

(From left to right)

AFTERSHOCK 

Name: Luke Alvers 

Age: 14 

Positive Traits: Loyal, protective, brave, responsible 

Negative Traits: Reserved, impatient, loner, migraines 

Power(s): 

 • Seismic Wave Generation (Luke inherited his father’s ability to generate powerful earthquakes with highly destructive effects) 

 • Intangibility (Luke also inherited his mother’s mutant ability that allowed him to phase through solid matter) 

 • Invisibility (A more advanced version of his mother’s phasing powers, Luke can even phase through light itself to camouflage himself and appear completely invisible) 

Fun Fact: Luke is terrified of needles, something that the older members of the X-Men team like to tease him about 

Description:  

Luke is very reserved and quiet with people.

He is the most like his father in that he is not very talkative and would rather be left alone than socialize with others.

But that is because it’s very difficult for Luke to relate to others due to his devastating powers.

Although many believe that he is a boy with a tough and indifferent character, the truth is that he is very sensitive and does not tolerate injustice or any type of mistreatment towards any living being.

Luke wants to fulfill his mother's wish to make a better world, and he also tries to see the best in everyone just like her, in addition to believing that everyone deserves a second chance.

Despite being the youngest member of the new generation of the X-Men team, he has many powers and enormous strength, making him very responsible and disciplined.

Luke also doesn’t like to discuss his hobbies, but he actually loves baking and reading books. 

——————

HAILSTORM 

Name: Zixin Drake 

Age: 13 

Positive Traits: Cheerful, positive, supportive, funny 

Negative Traits: Daredevil, brash, impatient, impulsive 

Power(s): 

 • "Frostworks" (A perfect mixture between both of his parents’ mutations, Zixin can generate bright bursts of cool-colored, frozen plasmoids from his fingertips) 

 • Organic Ice Form (Like his father before him, Zixin can create full-body armor/shell of ice around himself that increases his durability and strength) 

Fun Fact: Zixin enjoys putting on shows alongside his parents with their powers 

Description:  

Zixin is the embodiment of a ray of sunshine and has 10000% charisma. 

He genuinely loves everyone he meets and enjoys putting smiles on people’s faces. 

Zixin is very silly and has a very childish sense of humor. 

He also has a lot of energy and has a habit of rambling without realizing it.

Out of all the new generation of mutants, Bobby and Zixin are the most alike as both are prone to goofy jokes and harmless pranks to make people laugh.

Although, he doesn’t like emotional confrontations and will go out of his way to avoid uncomfortable situations.

Zixin and Luke are best friends despite their conflicting personalities, you may even say they complement each other 

Though he is still too young to officially join the X-Men, he still trains hard every day to one day be part of the team 

——————

SKÖLL 

Name: Fiona Da Costa 

Age: 14 

Positive Traits: Sweet, hardworking, sensitive, loyal

Negative Traits: Overprotective, overachiever, aggressive, over-competitive 

Power(s): 

 • "Solar Pack" (A perfect mixture of both of her parents’ mutations based on illusion, she can summon wolf constructions made out of pure solar energy to do her bidding) 

Fun Fact: Like her father, Fiona’s powers are at their peak during the day, especially in particularly sunny days. She can still use her powers during the night, but her solar wolves will be significantly weaker and she will get tired more easily 

Description:  

Fiona has a sweet disposition and is very polite, even to her opponents. 

However, she can be a smart ass at times and is quick to make jokes. She’s still Roberto’s daughter, after all 

Given how she doesn’t want to be vulnerable or reliant on her mutant powers, Fiona is highly dedicated to physical training but outside of the gym she’s very easy-going.

She is probably one of the few students who genuinely enjoys training in the Danger Room under Logan’s strict tutelage in order to better perfect her fighting skills 

Fiona is almost always found sporting earbuds so she can listen to her favorite punk rock and metal bands.

Though, like her father, she also tends to be a teacher’s pet and is an overachiever in almost everything

The Leaping Gazelles 13/34

Bound

In fact, the two men on campus were known far and wide as the seeds of infatuation before they were even bloodily intertwined by fate. Even the large trees they each separately howled at dry were so similar. Perhaps it was the rusty tails that needed to be compensated for, or perhaps it was the fact that both of them had too much emotion built up within them, and it was only in the moment when they were unintentionally nudged by those around them almost simultaneously that the two close-knit teenage boys and girls also realized that the existence of both of those trees was merely a symbol. What they needed was not a response, but just the pain of getting used to the dryness of their throats. And so it came to pass that at a New Year's Day party, in a session that was supposed to make a fool out of the boy, the boy once again conquered the girl's already-known maiden class. Perhaps a song was the price to pay for a marriage proposal, or that brave and innocent kiss at the back door that neither the boy nor the girl expected, and the two spent the next eight years of their lives together chained to the same chain, jumping into a volcano.

After the man changed countries for the second time still did not get rid of their own cowardice and the woman's courage, the two still rely on childishness and faith indulge in burning each other. Desire is mostly possession, feelings are mostly companionship, familiarity with each other is the inertia to maintain the two people in the predicament of support. It is also good that the two people's energy but both have their own multiple hobbies, and never believe in their own charm can still find each other so familiar with each other, at least in the man's mind is so. The thought of handing over his poisonous and hot baton to the hands of the next unfortunate human child did not even cross his mind.

It wasn't until the woman came to him in a foreign country that the man's friends realized that the man they saw as so loving and honest was such a tangled and conflicted freak. It took them less than a few minutes to turn their original gesture of wanting to see sour love into a state of shock and feeling embarrassed. The couple in front of them actually looked like strangers or even enemies who hated each other coldly and fiercely after going through so many storms. This kind of ruthlessness was to the point of shock, the nagging and pain was again boiling beyond concealment. The normally stoic and humorous man could actually gulp out pain with every breath, and the only variable in his life was the equally polite and likeable woman in front of him. The frank behavior of the man who had long ago confessed to the outside world that he had a girlfriend paired with the current look like he was treating his left hand or a mole of some kind made those around him despair. The image they had once imagined in their minds appeared before their eyes, but the way the two of them got along was incomprehensible. All the pranks designed in advance could not be carried out, so they just watched these two familiar and unfamiliar couples fight against the world and corrupt time in the way they were used to.

Due to their age and experience, the two immediately took on the responsibilities of relative maturity. Together they organized different activities, and in just a few days someone had already started to refrain from thinking about the sadness of her departure. This naturally didn't include the man, and everyone, including the two of them, didn't think he'd fluctuate much. Perhaps that was the destiny of romance, to burn out in flames or slowly merge into one, indistinguishable from the other. The woman had carelessly lost her passport like the man had always determined. This forced her to stay an extra two weeks longer than planned, from the nervous cheering in anticipation of the candle that lit her life coming to her side, to the man's feeling that the woman's presence had even tainted the somber skies and rich soil. Just a few hours of meeting was enough to give the man a splitting headache, and the remaining weeks were just more evidence to show. The woman came with the maple sugar biscuit that the man had temporarily and casually suggested he loved for a few seconds but said he had depended on for years, the sweet and crunchy sin was so unexpectedly delicious that out of spite for that wasteland that love probably persisted into the night of the day of the meeting.

Distance from that familiar jet lag disappeared once more, and the disconnect and bond between the two men reappeared, not that intimacy was absent, but that the man of Sage Time couldn't play kind. Thankfully, playing mature had been a routine in both of their lives, so that they weren't childish to the point of wretchedness as they had been several years ago. The man's friends were the first to express their displeasure at his aloof attitude, though they could guess at the passions that followed after nightfall. But not to mention them, who were still young, even the man's own self at the time did not know why he had suppressed the fire-like feelings to such extremes, but had let both of them fall deeper into them. He tries to follow the advice, but gets feedback that makes him extremely uncomfortable in his own skin. The woman's comments, on the other hand, are like that of a mousy and awkward father giving his daughter, whom he hasn't seen in a long time, a birthday alone. Kind and obtuse in an ugly way, celebrating this endeavor and praying for it to end soon.

[frogsbejumpingincalaveras]

Hey There Reader,

Continuing a discussion on Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, I'd like to write a little bit about the morality of novel. It's certainly a murkier topic, but there are moments that I think shine through and provide not only the satire Twain had been known for at this point in his career, but also powerful messaging he claimed to not have in the beginning of this very story. I'm of course referring to the growth of Huck Finn through his relationship with Jim, the escaping slave he spends his adventure with.

Early in the novel, as the pair make their way, as they incorrectly assume, north along the Mississippi river, Huck tries to stick to his childish ways. Huck views Jim as lesser-than, because of Jim's slavery, and honestly the predominant sentiment towards black people in the time of the novel which itself transposes a sense of morality on the children that grow up with in it, Huck plays some practical jokes on Jim. The two that come to mind are as follows:

"I went to the cavern to get some [tobacco], and found a rattlesnake in there. I killed him, and curled him up on the foot of Jim's blanket, ever so natural, thinking there'd be some fun when Jim found him there. Well, by night I forgot all about the snake, and when Jim flung himself down on the blanket while I struck a light, the snake's mate was there, and bit him." (63)

and

"When I got to [the raft] Jim was setting there with his head down between his knees, asleep, with his right arm hanging over the steering oar. The other oar was smashed off, and the raft was littered up with leaves and branches and dirt. So she'd had a rough time. I made fast and laid down under Jim's nose on the raft, and begun to gap, and stretch my fists out against Jim and says: "Hello, Jim, have I been asleep? Why didn't you stir me up?" "Goodness gracious, is dat you Huck? … No, you ain' dead! you's back agin, 'live en soun', jis de same ole Huck--de same ole Huck, thans to goodness!" "What's the matter with you, Jim? You been a drinking?" (96)

Both instances feature the kind of practical joking Huck had grown accustomed to in his adventures with Tom Sawyer in his own book, and the one previous. Thinking they would go over just as well when Jim was the target, or just the fact that Jim was the target, when he had been nothing but supportive and caring for Huck thus far, Huck displays a misunderstanding of not only the outcome of these pranks, but the mutual respect that Jim had assumed of their relationship. Huck's morality here, while childish, still demonstrates his lack of regard for Jim's feelings, which grows from not only being a child that likes to prank, but also the racial differences Huck perceives.

It's the aftermath of these pranks where the cracks in Huck's façade of imitating the social cues of the 1800's begin to peek through however. After the snake bite,

"Jim was laid up for four days and nights. Then the swelling was all gone and he was around again. I made up my mind I wouldn't ever take aholt of a snake-skin again with my hands, now that I see what had come of it. Jim said he reckoned I would believe him next time. … Well I was getting to feel that way myself." (63)

Huck not only takes into account Jim's physical state, which I must state would not have been a common thought, but also the emotional toll it took on their respect. Beyond the quoted, the pair then share a bond at staring at the moon over their left shoulder, despite how foolish Huck feels doing it.

In one last try to pull one over on Jim, Huck's attempt at convincing Jim he had been there on the raft the whole time they were separated by a dense fog, ends with a conversation between Jim and Huck, where Jim dresses him down, calling him "trash" for his actions. It's clear Jim thought Huck had died, and Huck's nonchalance is too much to bear. Jim leaves Huck on that note to spend time alone, and Huck tells us:

"But that was enough. It made me feel so mean I could almost kissed his foot to get him back. It was fifteen minutes before I could work myself up to go and humble myself to [Jim]--but I done it, and I warn't ever sorry for it afterwards, neither. I didn't do him no more mean tricks, and I wouldn't done that one if I'd a knowed it would make him feel that way." (98)

In other words, even though Huck is still seeing Jim as not much than a slave, there is something within him that is changing and telling him that these actions are morally in the wrong. Not just because they are ill-natured pranks, but because his attitude towards Jim, a friend by this point, and a confidant not too much later, is not the same the relationship he has been shown and taught that a white person should have with a black person.

All of this context is to set up the moral climax of Twain's novel, because I felt these pranks were a clear and concise example of the behavior Twain was seeking to single out. Much later, Jim is sold by a pair of con-artists he and Jim had traveled with, and Huck in a panic tries to figure out a solution. The contemporary thing to do might have been to leave Jim to that stroke of bad luck and continue on his journey alone. The contemporary morally strong thing to do would be to write a letter to Miss Watson, and send Jim back to the slave owner who he originally escaped from, with Huck stating,

"I would do the right thing and the clean thing, and go and write to [Jim's] owner and tell where he was." (227)

But even that in Huck's mind is a sin, because he knows it's a lie. The lie being that Jim, a man who has shown compassion to Huck throughout this adventure and dreams of a life with his wife and children, shouldn't be owned. The morality of Huck's time was not as thoughtful, but the growth within Huck has told him that is not a moral he wants to follow. And even though he knows he has to pray to God to find the answer, the answer he comes to is not one that he feels comfortable following through with. And so, he spots that letter he has written to Miss Watson, and in his own words,

"I took it up, and held it in mt hand. I was a trembling, because I'd got to decide, forever, betwixt two things, and I knowed it. I studied it a minute, sort of holding my breath, and then says to myself: "All right, then, I'll go to hell"--and tore it up. ... I would take up wickedness again, which was my line, being brung up to it, and the other warn't. And for a starter, I would go to work and steal Jim out of slavery again." (228)

A deed which he would, thankfully, accomplish. But in that, what Huck considered, moral failing, Twain institutes a line of questioning on if those morals that Huck, and by connection the people of Twain's time, had, should be held as highly as they did. Twain questioned the legitimacy of racial superiority as a moral standard through the genuine connection of two escaping characters trying to find a new home.

NEXT PART

Aemond never had the feeling of love or being loved. So when he had a grasp of it, he felt as if something was wrong with him.

You are the daughter of Laena Velaryon. Before she was bethroted to Daemon Targaryen, she had an affair with an unknown man during her many adventures with Vhagar when she was in her rebel phase. She hid you amongst the crowd in fear that you would be exiled, or worse, be punished for just being born.

So she kept you hidden until Daemon provided you with an escape, declaring you were his and her child before they got married, and no one questioned the veracity of the tale in front of the hungry Targaryen man.

You were raised among the children of Rhaenyra and Alicent.

You bore no dragon, as yours remained unhatched ever since. Having the council and its audience further whisper the legitimacy of your birth. Although Lucerys and Jacaerys might be bastards as well, they at least had a dragon to make the jeering masses stop once they saw them practicing with the wild monsters as they described.

Because of this, despite his mother's remarks and pleas for him to stay outside of your lane, you and Aemond connected over your differences.

Alicent could not have allowed her son to travel with a bastard who can't even support her blood claims with a single dragon. It's like going on a stroll with a commoner, although one with the last name of the prestigious Velaryons. It will defame the name of her own child.

Aemond was worried and somewhat acknowledged some of his mother's accusations. He kept talking to you even if he would not say it out; nevertheless, having someone to put up with the constant bullying of his brother regarding his lack of a dragon was less painful when he wasn't the only one subjected to it.

Jacaerys teases you just as much as Aemond, but unlike his naive younger sibling or his uncle Aegon, he won't torture you with jests regularly.

Jacaerys would frequently strike up a discussion with you after the boys pulled a trick on you and Aemond, which you had to tidy up after. Given that you were the oldest and the most academically inclined, and considering that you were born a year before Aegon, you graciously accepted their behavior, even though they were childish. This meant that your brain was mature at a young age, and you simply decided that their foolish pranks were merely ant jokes and should not be taken into consideration.

When you informed Aemond of this, he was perplexed. In addition to giving you a scathing response about the horror of meeting your alleged bully, Jacaerys, he also expressed confusion about your ability to never lose your cool in such situations.

This is what Aemond admired about you; the way you took in all the comments about your parents' alleged whoreness but also took in on being the laughingfool of the kingdom as having the Velaryon name with no snow white hair and a dragon.

He would not show his admiration for you; he was boyish about it and adamant about not having feelings for you when his emotions were displayed otherwise.

When he was still young, to his highness', the queen's, dismay, he would steal glances at you, bring you the loveliest flowers he could find in the gardens and set them on your seat before breakfast was called in, and ask the maids or his mother about your whereabouts. He regarded you as a close friend and harbored feelings for you, but kept them to himself.

You held onto his considerate actions and discovered yourself blushing at his newfound boldness. You responded by giving him a kind smile and glancing at him with your cheeks continuing to flush.

Since you selected the academic path and Kingslanding offered a wealth of opportunities, you had not seen your mother in years and had only exchanged letters instead. As a result, when Aemond suddenly disclosed your loss while you studied for a test you had created to review yourself, it was an episode you would never forget.

When your mother passed away, you experienced grief. You're in despair. The Blacks and Greens joined together to experience the burial of your mother. Aemond draped a bit of his cloak around your pinky in an attempt to conceal it from prying eyes as he held it.

For a bit, you talked about your grief for Aemond during the ceremony. He held your hand as the tears streamed across your face, then he tightened his hold, whispering gentle words of consolation.

You finally got to meet your sisters during the funeral. Well, step-sisters, but a sister nonetheless. They were obviously of pure blood, and you couldn't help but chuckle as you considered that, in her final moments, your mother might have realized that she was no longer a whore in the eyes of the community but rather a devoted member of her pride and family.

As he observed this, Aemond experienced some heartbreak over the fact that you were able to make more friends than he did and enjoy your own isolation, but he was also relieved that you were able to finally develop into a more social individual. He restrained himself from feeling more envy and soothed himself with the knowledge that you would always stand by him and support him. Why should he worry when you both know each other and have an awareness of what you both felt but didn't express?

But what Aemond doesn't realize is that you had a different perspective when you heard about the news of Aemond claiming Vhagar as well as hurting his eyes and his nephews in the process. You were outraged. You might as well add livid.

When Aemond demanded your comfort while being tended to publicly, you refused to look at him and instead chose to pay attention to the small pool of blood on the stone floor.

After the argument between the two families and their commotion over who was at fault, Aemond noticed that you had vanished like a newly born star beginning its first ever shine.

He started to consider all the negative possibilities and soon started to use childish logic. What does it matter if he took your mother's dragon after she was buried? You ought to be pleased that he has at last acquired a dragon. Despite lacking morality, he did earn it honestly.

The next day, when he was preparing for the departure, his mother, the queen, asked for him to call you back as they would be leaving soon. So he did, though he did pant a sweat after being clueless several times about where you'd been.

However, Aemond never loses sight of his objective once he sets his eyes on it. Finally, he saw you at the coast, still dressed in your previous nightgown despite it being sunrise.

"(Y/N), it is time to go." He began. "Mother ordered me to fetch you."

Aemond began to worry. Your eyes were still hazy. Once more clearing his throat, he added, "(Y/N) you know I did what I had to do. As a Targaryen man, we are required to bear a dra-"

"I thought I knew you well." You retorted, not letting him finish.

Aemond's reaction was a bewildered one. Out of all the replies he could get, this one hurt the most. He was very indifferent towards you, was he not? His nose flared while a sour emotion bubbled inside of him. "No, it was you who I thought I knew well!"

"Did we not yearn for each other's eggs to hatch and for the peeping eyes of people's expectations to soon be destroyed? I thought you would be delighted for me, happy that I finally have a dragon!" He added.

He received no reply but a whimper. He knew you to be strong and not weak. He anticipated that you would think about his argument rather carefully, given that you rely on logic rather than emotions, but he finally saw who you really were. You are insecure, he finalized.

"I expected you, as a friend, to be ecstatic about my gain and to greet me with open arms for my new ranking. I only wish for your warm embrace, nothing more. " He stepped forward, not minding the morning wind's coldness.

You took one last breath before confronting him. Aemond's breathing became labored. Right now, you most closely resemble rage if anger were a living entity. "And what? Why should I embrace the man who soiled my mother's grave just the day of her burial? Tell me why I should be cheerful, or why, in fact, should I parade myself as I boast for your claiming of my dead mother's dragon? "

You finally had the chance to gaze upon Aemond's expression. It is the look of someone who has been betrayed. If you knew better, you wouldn't have given in to the sudden want to hug him, to tell him that it was all fine, and you did knew better. What he did was far more heartbreaking and discorteous than whatever he felt about your actions.

"I thought you knew me well, but it seems our understanding is not mutual." Aemond replied with a pursed lip.

In return, you sneered at the younger boy, "Well, if you ask me, I thought I knew you well too. For some boy whom I used to love, my vision towards yours has changed drastically, as I have realized how drastically your actions happened this early morning."

What was love to him? He came to a halt. His mother instilled in him the idea that love is only an illusion and that he should place more emphasis on his duties. Love comes as a reward for a job well done. He passionately believes that.

But why must it come after? Why can't he take the treat now?

His lips and throat quivered, and his eyes started to moisten from the sunrise. He was forbidding himself not to cry. Once you recognized what was happening, you began to fumble with your gown's hem. You were drifting apart, you knew it. You parted your lips to muster up a continuation, but Aemond got there first.

"Apologies for the inconvenience, my lady. I would inform my mother, the queen, about your immediate departure. "

He then softly walked away, leaving you alone with your thoughts.

After many years, people—possibly even the maids—finally heard what you, the oldest Velaryon child, permanent residency withdrawal from the Red Keep and the decision to continue your scholarship privately at High Tide. As one of the best scholars in Kingslanding, they believed that the princess Rhaenyra was plotting something with a new strategy that included you. As soon as it was revealed that your stepfather, Daemon, was wed to the princess Rhaenyra, they began to believe the tale, even if it had not yet been shown how they would carry it out.

As he grew progressively older and older, Aemond clung to the term "love," hoping you would come back as his infatuation over you grew ever more intense. He was more aggressive and smug as he continued his training. Your remarks had a profound effect on his ego (in a taunting way), and he utilized them to continually elevate himself. He grew taller than Ser Criston this year and was able to counter the fighting prowess of the Kingsguard. He studied philosophy, history and the process of ruling a kingdom as well as the arts of war. He loved to pretend that he was doing this for himself, but in reality, he was hoping that after you two met, you would soon come to regret your words regarding his placement.

He had waited long enough to receive a message from the family dinner that you were soon to be wedded with Jacaerys and that the Blacks would be coming to manage both the succession to Driftmark and your marriage to the oldest stepchild on your stepmother's behalf.

The Greens were frightened and started formulating a strategy, but Aemond remained silent with a throbbing head.

Aemond's world turned red.

I wrote this at 12 am so forgive me for my mistakes and sht. My knowledge about the universe of song of ice and dragon is scarce so if there are any mistakes pls do tell me huhu. This was supposed to be a one shot but it was too long so I stopped at that point. Ill upload the last part whenever im ready. Also this is greatly inspired by @missglaskin writing style, their way of writing is unique and the use of headcanon format but still telling a full story is very unique and less time consuming for me if I copy their format so I hope they dont mind fjfjfjdkdm.

If the read more function doesnt work ill fix it tom sorry lmao.

guilt

hey all! so sorry for the long hiatus, but I’m back! for now anyway lol. here’s my latest fic!! 

pairing: none. I do not ship Merry and Pippin. they are cousins. 

warnings: smoking (brief), PTSD flashbacks

A/N: again, I DO NOT SHIP MERRY AND PIPPIN. this is just a fic based off of my own experiences with PTSD and trauma regarding a family member’s harm. 

taglist: @blueberryrock, @zalie, @justmemyselfandthefridge, @to-be-frank-i-dont-care, @heckin-music-dork (ty for egging me on to write this lol!!), @frodo-with-glasses!

     “Do you blame yourself?”

     “What?”

     “Do you blame yourself?”

    The words shot through Merry’s mind like a flaming arrow, burning and slicing his already exhausted mind. Of course he did. Pippin was his cousin; practically his brother. He was supposed to be the responsible one, the one keeping his kid cousin out of trouble. Yet he had failed. His mind was always at the ready, constantly formulating excuses for Pippin’s childish behavior, but his body was far weaker than he had planned for. He had slipped; fallen asleep. All it took was a single second of pure carelessness. 

     Shifting awkwardly, he answered: “Are you okay?” At times like these, it was best to sidestep his own feelings. Shut them down, pack them away.

     “You didn’t answer my question…” A near-silent reply, a whisper. They were waiting in the Hall, an agonizing hush looming over the Fellowship. Pippin’s voice echoed, causing a few to glance their way, warning scowls of worry etched on weary faces. Merry sighed and shifted once more, this time away from his dear cousin. A single sign of weakness or emotion could cause a chain reaction; Pippin would break down, Sam would scold, Frodo would go silent; the discomfort infecting everyone nearby like some fatal disease. 

     Merry was trembling. Flashes of Pippin’s horrified, twisted face seared his mind. Images of his younger cousin writhing in pain on the floor, screaming. Aragorn, Legolas, and Gandalf crowding him, pulling at him in a vain attempt to help. A cry from Aragorn as he yanked the Palantir away from Pippin. The glass orb rolling across the floor. Fabric flying through the air as Gandalf frantically covered it. The interrogation; Pippin weeping and covered in sweat, his eyes wild as he clung to whoever was closest. Agonizing silence between shaking breaths. His own heartbeat pounding in his ears as he turned away.

     “...He’s a fool, but an honest fool.” 

     That was all Merry had heard; his mind trapping him in a torturous loop of the hour before. As Gandalf concluded his speech and the older members of the Fellowship began speaking of war and treachery, he slipped out of the room and onto the balcony. The rich, cool night air brought a wave of relief, but tears quickly followed. Shame and guilt flooded his mind. If he had been quick enough to stop his cousin, none of this would’ve happened. No one would be hurt. Pippin wouldn’t be the center of distrust and worry. If only he had done his job. If only he hadn’t been so careless; so cowardly. 

     He walked to the nearest corner of the balcony and leaned against the wall for support, sighing heavily. He had never felt so old, so young, in his life. The horrible mixture of ‘I should’ve known better’ and ‘I couldn’t have stopped him if I tried’ fought in his mind; a losing battle either way. Why did he look away? Why did he shield himself from Pippin’s pain, and not shield Pippin himself? He looked up to Merry, saw him as a big brother. He idolized him, always had. 

     He smiled through tears as he recalled one of his first memories of them together: Pippin, who had just learned to crawl, trailing after a newly-walking Merry, giggling and babbling at him as he sneakily handed him snacks from his mother’s pantry. As the years passed and the two grew older, Pippin would amp up the pranks, dangerous acts, and foolish ideas that he had witnessed his older cousin doing. He’d always been that way: seeing something his idol did, no matter how foolish or dangerous, and replicating it, making it even more reckless. Merry had spent most of his childhood and early teenage years pulling him out of trouble or making excuses for him. So many nights sneaking a sullen, caught Pippin snacks during time-outs and staying out of his aunt’s sight as he put on shadow puppet shows to cheer him up without he himself getting caught. Silent tears turned to desperate sobs as fond memories slowly became tainted by the ever-growing guilt and shame, the what-ifs that had become his constant companion in the hours since. 

     A door opened behind him, catching him off guard once again. The sound of bare feet hesitantly creeping towards him broke the silence between his sobs; he hadn’t had enough warning to stop himself. Fabric rustled and the subtle warmth of someone’s body hovering next to him caused his body to tense; an unconscious habit Merry had picked up many years ago, another ridiculous method of shielding his cousin from the ugly side of life. Silence fell between the two. The intoxicating scent of Old Toby floating through the night air slowly eased him back into breathing normally, if only for a moment. 

     “Don’t worry about me, Merr. I’m okay. Gandalf himself said it. I’m just an honest fool. I know you blame yourself for…that, but really, I’m okay. Nothing a little Old Toby can’t fix, anyway.” A brief, awkward smile, a quick glance.

     Merry’s guilt and fear turned to rage. “That’s just it. You’re not okay! Nothing is okay. You could’ve died, Pippin. Do you realize that? Don’t you understand? Sauron could easily send an army here, if he hasn’t already. Don’t you get it?! He thinks you have the Ring! It is my fault. I knew what you were doing. I heard you get up. I heard you take that stupid orb! Instead of stopping you, I just sat there, like an idiot. If anyone should take the blame, it should be me.”

     Again, silence. Pippin casually blew a smoke ring and watched it float away before facing him. “Merry. I know I don’t seem like it, but I’m an adult now. I’m responsible for my own actions. You aren’t. Don’t worry about me. If it makes you feel better, I’ll quit smoking so much -- I know you hate it. I’ll even stay to the side, out of trouble. Out of sight, out of mind.” He rested his hand on Merry’s shoulder. “I’m fine. Promise.” 

     Merry’s eyes flooded with outburst-induced tears, which he angrily wiped away. Pippin smiled a new, more caring smile; one Merry hadn’t seen before. He set down his pipe and hugged his cousin, patting his back in a gesture of comfort. Before Merry could stop himself, more tears came. Perhaps Pippin was right after all; he really had grown up. Perhaps Merry could finally receive the comfort he had been giving out for all these years. He squeezed his eyes shut and wept into his cousin’s shoulder, finally letting go of all the grief, fear, pain, and worry he had felt for him for all these years.
