I'm bored
I want more Amity parkers hanging out in metropolis and more danny being unintentionally scary.
I want paulina and danny to hang out with each other more. I want her to listen to pop songs and be decked out in the latest fashion and be the pink prom queen trope, but she is actually a good person. She just shows it in her own way.
Danny's just the tired man who runs a mystery show and works odd jobs while fighting his ghost friends and managing everything. His shop is very successful, it the to go to place for everything and anything
Anyway I want paulina to drang Danny to lexcorp one day and while she's telling lex that she's taking a day off Danny's just standing behind her, menacingly.
The pink chick and the emo that follows
I want sam and paulina to hang out more, I want the Kent's to be friends with them, and Danny accidently became an uncle to Jon because he gets along with Clark and konner and ellie decided that their cousins and switch houses from time to time.
Paulina and Danny's girls' night at the mall, some villains try to break the stadium or cause property damage that would cause the shop to close early, not on their watch.
I want danny to befriend the a-listers, I want the forever trio to hang out with wes and make conspiracy theories, realize that their right, and them properly burn the evidence because they don't feel like experiencing thw fall out. Find out the JL identities, nope never seen then or heard of them.
I want was and danny to have a rivalry on who can do more shit and get away with it. Being cursed to never have anyone believe you has its quirks. Wes could literally commit a crime and say he did it and they wouldn't arrest him. Danny is determined to beat him at his own game and become more infamous
Than him.
I want the cheerleaders to run into nightwing and promptly challenge him. I want Amity parkers moving into fawcett and feeling gright at him. I want them to be close friends.
I just need more. danny is trying jis best to live a normal life after everything and is failing because being dead changes that. I need more Amity parkers sticking together and are all friends. More wes and danny rivalry. More tucker is friends with everyone and makes whatever they ask for as a challenge if they can gather the supplies, this typically means raids. I want more danny and paulina being friends and besties, and danny hanging out with the cheerleaders.
I want more danny being a very nice person who's just tired and works odd jobs, one being occasionally running a meta fighting club mostly filled with his rouges so they can have fun.

Aight you’re taking requests? I got one for you.
Senku x architect reader
Reader helped Senku make a bunch of his blueprints before the petrification, and once he has his footing in the kingdom of science he decides to send out a group to go looking for Reader’s statue. Only to realize it was one of the many statue’s tsukasa destroyed >:) how do you think yuzuriah would react when she realizes one of the latest statues she repaired was Reader’s? How quickly would Senku try to revive reader after the war with tsukasa is over?

ꜰᴀʟʟɪɴɢ ʙᴇʜɪɴᴅ
⁺₊✦₊
pairing: senku x f!reader
a/n: Thank you for the request!! I hope you like it!!!
⁺₊✦₊
Back in the modern world, Senku would most of the time not make his own blueprints. After all, that's why he had [Name] with him. She didn't complain, happy that her drawing skills would at least help him with his learning passion of science.
The two are childhood friends, Senku had practical dragged [Name] in his goal of making a spacecraft, seeing the girl doodle in her notebook during lunch time, taking this to his advantage, the trio was born, before Yuzuriha joined a couple years later.
Up until the purification, she was always by his side, equally showing his excitement in Science because that meant being useful to him by making blueprints and getting his praise!
Drinking his energy drink, Senku looks over at the girl for a brief moment as she happily draws out his idea.
"[Name]!" She looks up confused, hearing his voice only to see a bright light coming straight to her.
"Ah shit." She says, dropping her sketch book.
—
It had been 3700+ years since the world was turned to stone, Senku had tried to look for [Name]'s statue when he had free time but no luck. After Gen had found him wandering around the forest, he knew that Senku quietly looking for someone must mean that they're very important to him.
So, with a little convincing, gathered some of the villagers look for the statue.
When they did actually find said statue, Senku had stood before all the broken pieces of the broken stone. He didn't say anything at first before quietly thanking everyone for their help with the search.
Bending down to gather the broken stones, Gen noticed his shoulder slightly shaking.
After winning the war with Tsukasa, he handed the broken pieces to Yuzuriha before quietly telling her to fix this statue inside the small hut besides the laboratory. Yuzuriha agreed to do so, a little confused with how serious he was. Even stating that fixing this statue would be her first priority with the other ones.
The girl spent days working on it, and Senku wouldn't dare come inside until Yuzuriha was almost done. Stepping back to see if the pieces matched, she almost dropped the pot filled with the substance she used to glue the stones back together, eyes wide with disbelief.
"[Name]?" She says in agony, hands shaking. Sure, she fixed a lot of statues in the past, but to fix one of her best friends makes her want to vomit. Especially knowing that Tsukasa had taken part in her destruction since she was found near the Tsukasa empire.
After crying a bit, she was determined to fix [Name] now, fired up, spending three days without resting.
And soon enough, her best friend was fixed up.
Upon Yuzuriha telling Senku that she finally finished fixing [Name] up, he went over and dumped the revival fluid, a bottle of it he had hidden away when the three had left to escape Tsukasa in the beginning.
For the sole purpose of using it on [Name].
Yuzuriha squeal, clearly shocked on how he didn't hesitate, "Wait, Senku! She's not waring any-"
The [H/C] haired girl fell into his arms, unconscious, her hair barely covering her chest as Senku held her. A genuine smile on his lips as the girl slowly opened her eyes, eyes unfocused before looking up at Senku.
".." She blinks slowly, only to be met with a sight that she would never think she would ever see from Senku. The boy was trying to suppress his tears from rolling down his face but failing as the tears hit her face.
Ignoring the fact that she was completely naked, she comforted him first before Yuzuriha gave her clothes. While helping her face in them, Senku had his back facing them, rubbing his eyes, and ears flushed red.
Its been a couple weeks since [Name] was back, Senku would regular check her over, stating he wanted to make sure there wasn't an lingering side effects of the purification since she was put back together.
She was happily working on blue prints, Senku had made her a sketch book and pencils for her to work with. When he had mentioned building a ship, she went straight to work, laying down on the floor near to the telescope, completely in her work when she feels a hand on her legs, holding them down. Confused, she looks up to see it was Ssnku, looking a little annoyed.
"Oi, you're not wearing pants, so stop kicking your legs in the air. Someone can walk in and see under your dress." He says as she lets out a grumble since she's been interrupted.
Sitting down beside her, he looks over her designs. "Are these blueprints for the ship?" He asked. She nods, looking up at him as she rolls over on her back, legs pressed together and bent.
Her eyes stay on him as he flops the pages only to givgle quietly, "What's so funny?" He asked looking down at her.
"Oh, nothing. I just realized that nothing has really changed since the world changed. We always did this in your room, remember?" Smiling happily, she says
"...i guess you're right." He says, pushing the sketchbook onto her face as she complains about it, completely unaware of the way Senku's face is red. He's just glad that these moments stayed the same even if the world changed drastically.
not proof read so there might be spelling errors!

“My father has a bastard son,” Zhao De says. He nods solemnly at the shocked looks from his fellow disciples, “it’s awful. We are expected to care, when the bastard has nothing to offer us except embarrassment. Shizun likely does not want the brat to stain his reputation and is doing what he can to put distance. The brat can’t even write.”
“But he’s in the sect now. He is part of our Peak,” Cuin Wenyan says with a frown, “how are we to prevent him from ruining Shizun’s reputation?”
Ming Fan hmm’s.
“The way we always handle the unworthy,” he decides, “we will just show him why he won’t ever become better than what he is.”
Shen Yuan of No Relation Chp 2 - @grubus
:
When I was drawing this one of my friends said about Zhao De "If evil why hot?"
...
So anyway I decieded the the older deciples have fancier uniforms bc they are rich nobles who can afford to decorate with the latest Qing Jing trends.

Can I talk about sugar for a second? Like all of the berzatto children are tragic and doomed by the narrative in their own right, but nat’s story means so such to me idk if I can even fully talk about it all. We see her relationship with her mom is strained at best, it seems like she’s the least favorite child, maybe BECAUSE of her existence as a woman.
And then we find out that her lifelong nickname is based off of a childhood mistake, her being overeager to help her family literally turned into a lifelong reminder of her fuck up. Is there anything more tragic?? A child wanting love but getting scorn?? And then it makes the flashback scene where she tries to add raisins in season 1 all the more upsetting because why did she add them?
“That’s how mom makes it.” she’s the only one that still follows their mom’s recipe. The reason? Could be anything. But I have no doubt in my mind if she DIDN’T add the raisins if Donna had been around she would’ve been ridiculed even more.
I have such a soft spot in my heart for girls and their complex relationships with their moms and motherhood, and it makes her scene with cicero in the car that much more impactful. When cicero says he would let his kids make more mistakes and not been as careful, i almost started crying. Nat has a nickname from her mistakes and it seems like in her mom’s eyes she’s nothing but mistakes. And then her uncle tells her that she’ll be a good mother and that it’s okay for kids to make mistakes, great, even.
I’m so happy nat is in a place where she’s happy and supported. She has a husband who deeply understands her family and doesn’t judge her for it, even making an effort to try and include Donna. I was kind of meh about pete before season 2, but it solidified for me that he’s so so good for nat and a great character. He is so excited to be a dad, he’s patient and kind with her and her family, and he doesn’t call her sugar.
She’s nat. And she’s allowed to make mistakes.
#I have so many fucking feelings about them#maybe it’s me coming off of the high of succession’s equally emotionally damaged sibling trio#but I have nothing but love for natalie berzatto#she means so much to me#she’s joining the ranks of women on tv that are hated by their mothers just for being born a woman#my baby girl#I love her so much#the bear season 2#the bear#natalie berzatto#pete the bear#carmy berzatto

#no one is doing it like them#i was gonna act cool and just be like banger post what else is there to say and write nothing else but like. No.#thinking about how incredibly intricate sashannarcys relationship w each other is in a realistic standpoint#bc this is really just. the experience isnt it. theyre just a girl#crazy how intertwined they are to each other crazier how they go bck to one another regardless of drifting apart#well. not crazy per say but you know what i mean.#in the heart of it all the three of them really do just feel like the most well written trio of characters ive ever seen. even outside of#the ship itself. they mean so much to each other. whats craziest is how matt based it on his own relationships 😭 imagine airing all#that out for the world to see. and to make it a 'love letter' to that person that was the anne boonchuy in his friend group. even crazier#everyone say congratulations amphibia for being the only show about amphibia

Just Let Me Come Home
T | 2850 words | Stomarol, post s2, pre-relationship | also on ao3 | cw: very minor implied child neglect
Gift for @momotonescreaming Happy very late Birthday Momo!!! STWG prompt: Home
Thank you so much to @pearynice for betaing!!

Hawkins’ sun sets early in November.
When school starts tapering off into winter break, so does the light each day, the world getting darker until it looks like midnight at six in the afternoon and no one can see Steve riding shotgun in the police chief's car.
It’s been a hell of a week. Or, more accurately, one hellish night with consequences bleeding into the days after, until the bruising on Steve’s face starts fading into uglier muddier colors and Hopper decides he’s been waiting in the hospital long enough, telling him to start the mental list for what he’ll pack in his overnight bag.
Steve looks out the window as Hop drives, letting the cold glass ice the headache pressing against his forehead, watching the lamplit storefronts as they drive, staring out as the occasional passerby glances over the car, unseeing, before turning back to whatever they were doing before.
It’s dark. They can’t see much, and they don’t really need to. They don’t really care.
Which makes it awfully convenient that hell keeps coming to Hawkins just after dark. It brings a lot less questions that he can’t answer, about nausea and terror that he can’t explain, that he wouldn’t know how to even if he could.
It’s convenient. Gives Steve less people to worry about, less names to remember when things go bump in the night.
Hop drives past the end of Main street, the end of paved sidewalks and streetlights. He stops at a four-way to let another car turn, then takes a left down a darker road.
House lights take the place of street lamps, windows flaunting squares of lustrous orange light in every house they pass. The distance makes the light hazier, easier on the ache behind his eyes.
The street is familiar, more than just small-town same-roads familiar. It becomes depressingly familiar as the Perkins' house appears ahead, that feeling more of an indicator than the house’s appearance right now. Light fills almost every damn window, except for Carol’s bedroom upstairs.
Her powder blue convertible is missing from the driveway, too, and its absence leaves the whole house sickeningly monochrome.
It's probably in Tommy's driveway. He could check to be sure, they’ll pass by it in a block or two.
As quick as it appeared, Carol’s house disappears again, passing behind them just like every other house on the block.
Steve closes his eyes.
Keeps them closed, until the car slows drastically but doesn't feel the turn into the driveway.
Steve opens his eyes, glances towards Hopper and finds him looking out into the dark ahead, warily. Steve follows his gaze, and his stomach turns.
There’s a powder blue convertible stalling in front of his house—roof uncharacteristically up and hiding the interior—haphazardly parked half off the road. The people in the front seat are arguing, and there’s smoke billowing out the back still like they’re ready to take off at any second.
Hop rolls closer, headlights lighting up everything. Steve leans forward to get a better look, and Tommy’s face turns around in the driver’s seat to look back at them.
Tommy’s eyes pass over Steve, unseeing, then skipping by Hop too as he just sees a cop car and panics. He gets ready to drive off, only to be stopped by Carol’s hand from the passenger’s seat.
It's uncomfortable just looking at them. Tommy is awkwardly crammed into Carol’s front seat like he’s too big for it—maybe because he is, maybe it's still adjusted for Carol—and Carol looks like she's fighting the seatbelt that's keeping her from jumping across the dash and taking the wheel herself.
And what’s worse, they’re sticking with it. They’re parked on the side of the road and yet neither get out to switch seats and go back to what they're used to.
Hop shifts the car into park, and Steve glances over to find Hopper already looking at him, eyebrows raised and quietly asking.
Steve turns back to the car in front of them for a second. Carol glances back from her spot in the passenger’s seat too, then turns to her real objective of saying something to Tommy. Something Tommy, apparently, doesn’t want to hear. Has already heard several times, if the overplayed frustration is anything to go by.
Steve sighs.
“I’ve got it.” Steve mutters, and ducks down to find his keys in his bag.
Hopper doesn’t say anything and goes back to eyeing Carol's car, but when Steve sits back up he shoots him another uncertain look.
“You’ll know if I change my mind.” Steve says, and gets out of the car.
The headlights sting his eyes even from behind so Steve squints and turns his head away from them, watches his step and shoves his keys into his pockets as he walks over. A car door in front of him opens, letting the tail end of a very annoyed “Carol!” slip out before it slams shut again and the familiar clacking of boots makes its way over to him.
Steve looks up properly and Carol stops, squinting from the headlights, staring at the bruising on his face openly, shock softening a very reassuring grimace. Steve closes the last bit of distance so he doesn't have to be loud, doesn’t make this any bigger than it has to be.
“Can this happen at literally any other time?”
Carol stares at the worst spots of his face for another second, trying to juggle new thoughts with whatever the hell she was planning to say, but a voice from the other side of her car beats her to it.
“Steve?”
He and Carol both look over at Tommy, standing from the driver's seat to get a better look over the hood of the car, equally taken aback, if only for a second.
Tommy jogs over—that slowed down jog to keep from looking too uncool—and stops, a little further away than Carol is, keeping a cold distance. It nicks an old nerve, one he's used to having hit, but now it’s fanning a bitter flame that he’s happy to indulge.
“What the hell happened to you?” Tommy says.
“Why do you care?”
“Steve.” Carol snaps at him.
“No, actually, what are either of you even doing here?”
“Looking for you, asshole.” Carol says, and takes barely a step forward.
“Carol dragged me with her.” Tommy says, with that light, cocky tone he’d use in the hallways or on the court or in the locker room, where everythings a goddamn joke.
“Tommy.” Carol hisses, hitting Tommy’s arm and Tommy scowls at her.
“Well that makes this easy then.” Steve says, letting bored disdain leak out with every breath. He directs an extra bit of bitterness Tommy’s way, then turns back towards his house.
“Steve–”
Tommy grabs his arm. Reaches out and grabs for him.
Steve turns back and looks down at Tommy’s hand on his forearm, pointedly, then back up at Tommy. Challenging, to let Tommy know he’s doing it—reaching out and touching another boy—and waits for Tommy to let go or pretend it’s more aggressive than he meant it.
Tommy’s hand slips away and falls to the side.
“Look, man,” Tommy starts, “We heard about Wheeler–”
“Yeah, I know.” Steve says, and even though his voice wavers Steve tries to make it harsh, be cold and detached like he would be if they were in the halls right now. “You just know everything there is to know about Nancy Wheeler these days.”
Carol makes a face at him and Tommy scowls again, and it feels like so much, feels familiar and nauseating, soothing and insufferable.
“Man, I’m fucking trying, alri–”
“To do what?”
Tommy pauses, face still scowling but his eyes searching, confused.
“What are you trying to do?” Steve asks again.
Tommy looks away, shoves his hands into his jacket pocket. “Fucking talk, man, what…” Tommy smiles, shoots him a look of casual apathy, doing it on purpose now. “What does it look like I’m doin’.”
Steve tamps down a curled lip, keeping mostly neutral as he stares at Tommy. Making a show of listening even after he stopped talking, waiting for either another deflection or a real answer.
It takes Tommy a good few seconds to realize Steve isn’t planning on playing along. He connects the dots and drops the casual act, apathy hardening into irritation, and refuses to say anything.
Steve glances over to Carol, standing off to the side and mostly watching Tommy. She catches Steve’s eye, but with nothing written on her face.
She looks at Tommy again but doesn’t try to intervene, doesn’t try to say anything.
Steve turns again quietly, away from the cars and headlights, and starts up his driveway. Gets a little ways away before Tommy does anything about it.
“Steve, fucking– hold on!”
Steve turns before Tommy can reach him, catching him off guard, so instead of grabbing Steve’s arm Tommy gestures around with that energy, pointing to him and Carol and right at Steve’s chest.
“We came out here because it was always the three of us, always! You, me, and Carol. And then you ran away, you keep fucking off to do your own thing like neither of us ever mattered.”
“So you came here to yell at me.”
“I came here because you sure as hell weren’t coming back! You were getting off on ‘caring about other people’ but you don’t give two shits about us!”
Tommy lets the words hit, then loses steam with a loaded huff. He stares Steve down like Steve’s dragging the word out of him, like Steve’s the one forcing this conversation to happen.
“And you’re happier now.”
Tommy looks sick with it, keeps channeling anger over the sickness and it’s working, he’s yelling, but Steve can’t stop seeing what’s under there.
“But we still give a shit about you, and Carol dragged both our asses over here cause she’s the only one with enough balls to admit it.”
Tommy’s hand moves again, barely a reach that’s pulled back, a small reflex that Tommy probably doesn't notice, but Steve does, only because he’s looking for it.
A lump forms and clogs Steve’s throat—and Tommy sees it, something of it because he lets the anger melt out, smooths it down a little until–
“You tell me to fuck off and I’ll do it, but you’re going to let me fucking try first.”
–until he just looks like Tommy again.
Steve crashes forward and pulls Tommy in tight for a hug. Wraps his arms around him, ducks his face down into Tommy’s shoulder, half for himself, half as a final test, to see if Tommy would let him– let himself give as much of a shit as he used to.
Tommy jumps but grabs onto him with that reflex, wraps his arms around Steve's back and holds him just as tight, maybe tighter. Tears well up in Steve’s eyes, the treacherous kind that aren’t asking if or when they could fall, so Steve buries them in the collar of Tommy's shirt.
Tommy laughs a little, light with surprise and wonder and fucking joy, rumbling soothingly from his chest, from his throat right by Steve’s ear, and it makes Steve smile, too. Smiling so wide, even as tears fall freely and he silently chokes on his relief.
Tommy presses his face, too, into Steve’s shoulder, not quite tall enough to tuck his chin over. He presses his smile into the collar of Steve’s shirt and leans his head against Steve’s, so much softer, so much more confident, and more truly at ease than Steve’s seen him before.
Steve takes in a deep breath, slow and long so it feels like enough, and revels in the steadiness, the warmth around him. And for the first time in a while, it’s easier to keep himself upright.
Another hand settles gently on his shoulder, light enough that it doesn’t hurt the bruises that have to be somewhere around there.
Steve pulls back, just enough to stand up straight and see Carol keeping her hand on Steve’s shoulder, looking slightly worried and only getting worse when he meets her eyes.
Steve shakes his head, wipes the wetness from his eyes, cringing when he presses against bruises, just making more tears fall.
Steve swallows hard and takes a deep breath again.
“I missed you guys, too.”
Carol moves fast, pulls him into her own tight hug immediately, squeezes a choked sob out of him instead of words. He hugs her back tightly, buries the lower half of his face in her hair, and gets a strong whiff of Farrah Fawcett hairspray.
Carol gives him one more squeeze before her grip mellows out into something gentler, decidedly gentle, and just as steady. And she stays there, face resting on his shirt, right over his heart like it's just as much for her as it is for him. His throat clogs up again, and Steve doesn't think he’s ever been happier.
After a moment or so, Carol mutters something that Steve doesn’t catch.
“What?” Tommy asks before Steve can.
Carol huffs with so much of her signature annoyance that Steve can't help but snort to himself too. She moves back but with an arm still tucked around Steve, shoots him a quick glare that doesn’t hide any of her fondness—if she was even trying to hide it—and turns to Tommy to enunciate everything at him.
“I said, it took you two long enough.”
Tommy rolls his eyes immediately, like he’s heard something like this a million times before.
“Yeah, thanks for helping, by the way.”
“You’re welcome.” Carol says, all over-innocent and cheery and it makes Tommy roll his eyes harder, “You two needed someone sensible around. All this emotional constipation really isn't a great look.”
Steve wrinkles his nose at the word choice while Tommy scoffs.
“Yeah, you’re real mature, like you didn’t bite Nichole Turner’s head off for finding that old swim team hoodie you won’t get rid of.”
“Tommy!”
Carol hits Tommy’s arm again, betrayed and annoyed but not trying to deny it.
“You kept that?”
Carol glances over before resolutely avoiding eye contact and shrugs, but doesn’t refute it.
“Awww Caroooool,” he says, drawing the words out comically, putting an arm around her, “You missed—”
“It’s a sweatshirt.”
“You missed meeeee.” He sings and hugs her again, playing up the schmaltzy sweet flair.
“You two are such—” she starts, then sighs heavily before giving up, dropping her head to lean into Steve’s hug.
Steve smiles and looks back over to Tommy—to give Carol her moment to recover—and catches a soft smile on his face, too.
Tommy’s eyes flick up to meet Steve’s and he pauses like he knows he’s been caught.
“So…” Steve starts.
“Yeah.” Tommy says, landing a hand on his shoulder, casual except for how Tommy keeps it there, normal except for how it’s making Steve melt. “You gonna be alright?”
“Yeah, yeah, don’t worry about it. I'm gonna head inside—”
“And find a bag of peas or something,” Carol interrupts, pulling away to give Steve another look, “I mean, like, in a nice way–”
“Don’t hurt yourself.”
“You look like you’ve been hit by a car.”
“Yeah.” he laughs.
“Did you?”
“No, no…” Steve shakes his head. “No, it’s uh… long story.”
Carol raises an eyebrow, and when Steve turns to Tommy instead he finds him also giving Steve a searching look. Steve smiles a little, enjoying the care despite the context and the subjects he has to breach at some point—god especially when it comes to school again, basketball’s about to be a fucking mess—
“I’ll tell you guys later. Promise.” He says and he means it, even if he can only throw together some half baked explanation—maybe blame a little more on Hargrove than he really needs to—he wants them around enough to know. And also, maybe selfishly, wants them around enough to know when he’s lying, to know when there’s things he won’t say.
But for now, Tommy and Carol both accept the promise for later. And Steve nods over towards the front door.
Carol takes the silent invitation immediately, heads up the dark driveway and to the front of the house with Steve and Tommy not far behind her.
Carol waits by the steps for them as they catch up and lets Steve go ahead to the door, whispering something cheeky and teasing to Tommy that catches him off guard, makes him stutter for a second before muttering something snippy back.
Steve bites back a laugh and turns to the door. He finds his keys in his pocket and picks out the house key smoothly as Tommy and Carol linger behind him, their presence and their voices calming something in him, making the gaping void behind them feel less vast, less pressing.
He clicks the lock and opens the door wide and it’s somehow darker than what they’re already standing in.
Steve wanders in blindly, and Tommy and Carol follow right behind.
