DPXDC CFAU Headcanon: Ghostspeak Edition

Ghosts in the Infinite Realms who saw Jason and Danny together called them "luzdra", a term in ghost speak that directly translates into the words "shared soul". It's literal definition is; "two ghosts with a bond so deep that it was as if they had split their souls in half and given one to the other", but in general it just means two ghosts with a profound, indescribable bond.

Luzdrus is the singular form of the word, and refers to only one ghost in the bond. While "luzdra" is plural and either refers to both of them together, or the relationship as a whole. It depends on the context of the conversation and who they're saying it to.

There is no romantic, platonic, or familial connotation behind the word. It just means "someone who shares a deep bond with someone" and can be between anyone.

It also does not mean soulmate, and if you say that you'll be corrected. Soulmates implies that their bond was destined by the universe, luzdra are two people who developed and built that bond themselves. It's a relationship forged between two (or more) people.

Some of Danny's rogues -- like Kitty and Johnny, who might've seen the two together and are possibly luzdra themselves -- still call him 'luzdrus' even after Jason's disappearance from the Zone. Danny doesn't know how to feel about it.

HUH????

[snippy-tano]

Okkk hi here's one!! It's fluff :)

So can I get one where Fives and Reader are really close bffs to the point people thought they were dating (ex: he has the spare keys to her house, they're almost always with one another, they hold hands often, etc)

Everytime people ask they're always like 'Haha definitely no we're only friends' but one time Reader decides to go out on a date with someone they don't really know and Fives is immediately like 'You're dressed way too nice to be going on date with some guy' + 'What if you don't like him?' + 'Call me if anything goes wrong at all and I'll come save you'

This leads to his brothers straight up confronting him like 'You definitely like her more than a friend' to which he's like 'Pfft, no I don't, I just really care for them and think they're really cool and pretty and OH MY GOD.' and it's just him kinda freaking out abt it when she comes back and he ends up confessing???

THIS IS SO SPECIFIC AND LONG I'M SORRY

don't ever apologize for being specific and long! i am totally obsessed with this and i truly hope you love what I decided to write. I'm not sure where it came from or how it ended up so soft, but i am a true sucker for friends to lovers. sue me.

i hope you love this!! ;)

FRI[END]S

You

You were buried deep in your couch under several blankets and a small tub of ice cream perched precariously on your knee. Your eyes were fixed on the small holoTV in front of you. It was the season finale of a series you had been watching for years and you’d already cried twice. 

It’s because of your intense focus that you missed the sound of your front door opening. You jumped, a small scream escaping as someone flopped down on the couch beside you. Fives dove for the ice cream, catching it before it spilled to the floor. He settled beside you, reaching for the spoon in your hand and digging himself out some of the sweet treat. 

“Hey wait, why did you start this without me?”

“Fives, you don’t care about this show. You always complain about me watching it.” You said, making a swipe for your spoon only for Fives to dodge and continue eating.

“Doesn’t mean I don’t want to watch it.” 

“Since when you banthabrain.” You dove for the spoon, but Fives dodged again. You slumped into his side and he slipped an arm around you. 

“Since always, bug.” He replied, digging the spoon inside the container before holding it out to you. You quickly took the bite and rested your head against his chest as he took another bite himself. “So, what did I miss?”

You quickly caught him up to speed between shared bites of the cool treat. Fives eventually set down the tub, pulling the blankets tighter over both of you and gently tracing his fingers over your free hand mindlessly. Your show eventually ended after prompting you to cry a few more times. Fives flipped through the channels, trying to find something else for the both of you to watch. 

“I’m on leave tomorrow too, do you want to do something? Try out that ice cream place you’ve always wanted to try?” Fives asked and you hummed. 

“I wish. But I have plans.”

“Plans? With who? You don’t have any other friends besides me.”

You pinched his side, ignoring his shout. “That’s a lie. I have other friends. No, this is a date.”

“A date?”

“Yeah. We met on the holonet. I figured I should probably start putting myself out there, so we’re meeting for caf tomorrow morning.” You replied, feeling Fives tense slightly.

“Are you worried about something going wrong?” He asked and you glanced up at him. 

“Not really, no. I mean I’ll be careful of course, it’s why I picked a public place. I’ll be fine. I know how to take care of myself.” You watched a muscle in his jaw tick. 

“If anything goes wrong, you’ll call me right?”

You sat up, eyes fixed on Fives. “Of course. Are you okay?”

Fives turned to look at you, a small smile on his face. “I’m always okay. Just looking out for you, bug.” 

You gave his shoulder a shove before slumping back against him. “I’m glad I can always count on you.”

He cleared his throat. “So, have you decided what you’re wearing?”

“I have a few ideas.” You sat up again. “Wanna see?”

He laughed. “Sure. We all know my fashion sense is top tier.” 

You shoved again before scrambling to your feet, almost tripping over the blankets in your rush to your room. “Wait there!”

“Wouldn’t want to be anywhere else!” He called back and you laughed to yourself as you quickly pulled out what you were thinking and changing. 

With a flourish, you stepped out of your room. “Ta-da!”

Fives turned to look at you, resting his chin on his arm that propped up against the edge of the couch. He narrowed his eyes. “Isn’t that a little fancy for a first date? Especially one at a caf shop?”

You looked down. It was a little nicer, but it was your first date in years so you were a little excited about it. “Maybe a bit, but it looks nice on me and I want to make a good first impression.” You paused. “Maybe I should think of something else.” 

“No no no.” Fives said, quickly climbing to his feet and walking over to you, placing his hands on your arms. “If you feel good in it and that’s what you want to wear, you should. You look great.” 

You fought a smile, poking his side. “Look at you, you’ve gotten soft.”

Fives chuckled, wrapping an arm around you and tugging you into a hug. “Only for you, bug.” 

“You’ll have to change and come back to find out.” 

You let yourself relax for a moment in his arms before he gave you a shove. “Now hurry up and change, I found a new movie to watch.”

“What is it?”

You rolled your eyes, but quickly turned and ran back to your room to change. Your stomach was fluttering with nerves about your upcoming date, but you were still excited and proud of yourself for putting yourself out there. And knowing Fives, your best friend in the entire galaxy, was behind you, you weren’t afraid of anything. 

Fives

Fives arrived back at the barracks in the wee hours of the morning, slumping into his bunk with a huff. Most of the barracks were clear, but a few of the guys were still hanging out. He had stopped at the mess on his way back to grab a bite to eat before he slept for a few hours. 

There was some rustling above him and he cracked an eye open to see Echo peering down at him. “Seeing your bug?”

Fives nodded, letting his eyes close again. 

“Are you sure?” Came another voice from another bunk, Jesse if he had to guess. 

“Did you confess?”

“Kriff off. It’s not like that.”

“Positive. They are even going on a date this morning and I helped pick out their outfit.” 

“Woah wait.” Echo said, followed by a thump and his bunk shifting. “They’re going on a date and you’re totally okay with this?”

“Of course, why wouldn’t I be?”

“You really are blaster-brained.” Jesse huffed and Fives barely resisted the urge to gesture inappropriately at him. 

“They are going on a romantic date with someone else and you’re cool with it. You hold hands with them, have a keycard to their place, sometimes sleep over with them, and you’re fine with them dating someone else.” 

“Yes I already said that, were you not listening?”

“Fives, you definitely like them more than a friend.” Echo said and he huffed before sitting up to look at his brother. 

“No I don’t. They’re my best friend. I just really care for them and think they're really cool and pretty and-” Fives trailed off, his thoughts swirling in his head. 

Hold on. Did he actually like them like that? It couldn’t be. Friends did those things with each other, right? I mean him and Echo didn’t, but they were brothers. But then again, Echo didn’t brighten his day every time he saw him or make his stomach swirl in a good way. He loved his brothers, but he definitely didn’t want to wake up next to them every day or see them smile at him for his bad jokes.

Echo patted his shoulder before climbing back into his bunk. 

Fives suddenly felt something wash over him. 

Fives had never run faster than when he was rushing back to your place. 

Oh kriff he needed to stop this date.

You hadn’t shared when the date was happening, but he hoped it wasn’t too early and he could catch you before you left. The turbolift you used to always make fun of for being slow seemed to sense his urgency and go even slower. He actually hit a floor lower than yours was and booked it for the stairs, taking them two at a time. 

When he arrived at your door, he was out of breath and feeling more frantic than he ever had. It took him three tries to get the door open because his hands were shaking so much. 

When he did finally get it open, he stumbled through the door, your name on his lips. But as he frantically looked around, he realized your place was empty. Fives rushed towards your room and he felt his heart sink when he realized the clothes you had picked out the night before were gone from their resting place. 

He squeezed his eyes shut, feeling sick to his stomach. It was so obvious now. He should have known and realized how he felt sooner. And yet, he was still too late. 

Fives shuffled over to your worn couch before slumping into it. If he closed his eyes, he could almost smell your shampoo embedded in the blankets. 

The sound of the door opening had him scrambling to his feet, eyes wide. 

You were standing in the doorway, blinking at him in surprise. You stepped inside and shut the door behind you. “Fives, what are you doing here?”

You were dressed for your date and he thought you’d never looked prettier. 

“I-I-uh-how was your date?”

No! Not that! Fives winced. That’s not what he wanted to say. 

You set down your comm and keycard on the table. “It was the funniest thing. They were very nice and we shared a lot of the same interests-”

Oh here we go. He’s already lost you.

“-but for some reason, all I could think about was you.”

Wait, what?

Fives’ eyes fixed on you as you looked at him with a fond expression with a hint of annoyance on your face. “The whole time we talked, all I could think about was you. I thought ‘Fives would like the caf here’ or ‘maybe I should get a sweet roll for Fives’. We had good conversation and I know that we would have made good partners, but I didn’t want that. Because I already have you.” 

You took one step closer. “I may be about to kriff everything up, but I realized that I didn’t want to be just friends anymore. My feelings have grown beyond that and I want to be so much more with you, if you’ll have me.”

The ARC trooper had been trained to handle surprise situations. He knew how to think on his feet and adapt to any circumstances placed before him.

But for some reason, his mind was absolutely blank. 

And before he realized what he was doing, he was bounding forward towards you. He only had a moment to revel in your wide, beautiful eyes, as he placed his hands on either side of your face and brought your lips to his. You melted almost immediately, slumping against him with a sigh that sent a shiver down his spine. 

Fives knew he wasn’t the smartest out there and he didn’t pretend to think that he knew everything. But as he stood here, in your kitchen, having just listened to a confession from his best friend, he thought, maybe, just maybe he was the luckiest guy in the galaxy. Everything clicked into place and he felt like maybe he did finally understand the meaning behind everything. 

Because everything that mattered in the galaxy was in his arms. 

He pulled away, not because he wanted to, but because he realized he should probably give you a verbal answer. His heart warmed when he saw you blindly chase after him, trying to pull him back down. “In case it wasn’t clear, I don’t want to be just friends anymore either.”

You laughed, tightening your grip around his middle. “Good, because I am never going on a date ever again unless it’s with you.” 

“I can do that, bug.” Fives said before leaning back down and once again capturing your lips with his. 

On the rare occasion that Fives thought about his future, he knew you would have a place in it. It just wasn’t until now that he knew the exact place you would exist until the day he died. And as he wrapped you up tighter in his arms, lips moving against yours, he took your laugh, your smile, your everything and nestled it carefully deep within his heart. Right where you belonged.

Pride and Prejudice Op81 x Reader

Part 1

A modern F1 take on a classic, hopefully living up to the expectations of @the-navistar-carol

A/n: 2005 Pride and Prejudice is fuelling me here, I hope you enjoy it though, its taking a lot of effort to translate the story into a more modern context

“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man, in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.”

Charlotte and y/n giggled together while looking around the room. As their fathers were employees at Mclaren they were often invited to the galas and events that the company held. This such event, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the company, was not the first they had attended. 

Charlotte was the daughter of a Zac Brown and a longtime friend of y/n. They had grown up living near each other and had spent many galas in this fashion, drinking the free champagne and gossiping about the small tidbits they were told by their fathers. 

A hush fell over the room as two men entered the room flanked by the company's CEO.  One grinning widely and shaking hands with everyone he met, the other standing stiffly by his side and only offering a nod. Jane, y/n's sister appeared by her side.

“Who are they?” y/n whispered to Charlotte, not taking her eyes off the two men. 

“Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri, the two drivers for the Mclaren Formula 1 team” Charlotte answered quietly. 

“Norris seems nice, I suppose '' Jane whispered back, “Poor Mr Piastri doesn't know what to do with himself. Must be nervous” 

“I’d guess not,” Charlotte shot back, “Every time I’ve seen him, even in the company of few, He’s been the same. I think he is more pompous and feels he is above speaking to us mere people rather than his fellow drivers.” 

Oscar’s eyes slid towards the low whispering as the room returned to the usual chatter, unable to make out the words. He held eye contact with y/n, surprised at the lack of recognition he saw on her face. It was rare he met people at Mclaren who weren’t already aware of his position within the company. 

Y/n’s father appeared at her side. 

“C’mon then girls” He patted Jane on the shoulder, “I should greet Zac and I can introduce you to the drivers.” 

Y/n squeezed Charlotte’s hand to bring her with them and the group made their way towards the trio. 

“Zac!” y/n’s father called, “over here, mate” 

Zac turned towards the shout. “Bennett!” he cried, embracing the man.  “Lando, you already know Bennett, of course” He turned toward Oscar. “Oscar, Bennett is our lead aerodynamicist. He travels with us so I am sure you see him around a lot” 

Oscar inclined his head slightly at the introduction but did not offer any other greeting. 

“Of course you know my daughters Zac” Bennett turned back towards Zac and Lando, “Lando this is Y/n and Jane. I have three others but Mary tends not to enjoy these events and Kitty and Lydia are still too young” 

Lando smiled enthusiastically, “Lovely to meet you both. I must say you both look lovely, don’t you think Oscar” 

“I guess so” He answered, not sparing a glance at the two women. 

Lando and Jane were locked in conversation, barely sparing a glance at anyone else around the room.  

Y/n slid smoothly towards them, intent on getting another glass of champagne for herself and Charlotte. To her side, she could hear Lando excuse himself and make his way towards Oscar. 

“So many pretty women Osc.” He grinned, “Anyone catch your eye?”

Oscar tilted his head towards Lando, “You exaggerate, you are speaking with one of few pretty women on the premises” 

“You think?” Lando hummed, “ what about y/n? She’s quite pretty, from what I hear quite accomplished too”

“If you say so” 

As y/n stood next to the bar, waiting for Charlotte to return from the restroom, she spotted Oscar nearby. 

“Are you hiding too?” She turned toward him, smiling. “It works better if you've got a drink, easier to suffer through these events with a buzz” 

“I don’t drink, especially not this close to the season.” He answered sharply, not even sparing a glance towards the woman beside him.

Y/n turned away quickly and spotting Charlotte in the crowd made her way towards her. 

Later in the evening, y/n joined a conversation between her father, Zac and the two drivers. 

“And how are you finding it, y/n? Zac asked, turning his attention toward her. 

“Mclaren always holds lovely events, and you ask me that every time.” y/n smiled at Zac, before turning towards Oscar, “Even if there are so few pretty women on the premises.” She smirked at the young driver before excusing herself from the conversation.

Lando nudged the younger man, “You messed up, mate.”

Oscar answered sharply, “yeah, I got that,” staring after y/n’s reiterating figure.

Excerpt from this story from The American Prospect:

The Clean Air Act (CAA) has been fiercely opposed by polluters and their allies since its passage in 1970. Industry has never quite stopped fighting to prevent the government from protecting American lives and communities at the expense of even a bit of their profits. But over the past few years, opposition to the law has reached new feverish heights. Multiple cases seeking to gut the CAA have been filed by (or with the support of) oil and gas organizations, their dark-money front groups, and their political allies since 2022.

The ringleaders of this effort are the usual trade groups driving climate apocalypse, including the American Fuel and Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) and the American Petroleum Institute (API), as well as oil giants themselves, like ExxonMobil.

Yet the coordinated attacks on this lifesaving, popular, and historically successful regulation go beyond the singularly destructive interests of the oil industry alone. And they go beyond the federal rule too, and are working their way into litigation against state enactments of the CAA.

Of course, many of the companies driving these suits are some of the biggest names in corporate greenwashing, like Amazon, FedEx, SoCalGas, and more.

These companies have continuously insisted that they are committed to leading the clean-energy transition, even while they fight for the right to poison the general public for profit, and have endeavored—at every turn—to destroy any opportunity the public may have to pursue recourse for it.

Last year, the Truck and Engine Manufacturers Association (EMA) threatened a lawsuit against the California Air Resources Board (CARB) over the state regulator’s Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) rule.

The rule, which would mandate a “phased-in transition toward zero-emission medium- and heavy-duty vehicles,” threatens the transportation sector’s historically noxious way of doing business; the sector accounts for more than 35 percent of California’s nitrogen oxide emissions and nearly a quarter of California’s on-road greenhouse gas emissions. CARB’s rule could go a long way toward actualizing rapid reductions in the state’s annually generated emissions.

However, later that year EMA and some major truck manufacturers reached an agreement with CARB not to sue over the rules, in exchange for the state’s loosening of some near-term emissions reductions standards.

EMA has by and large kept its promise to not intervene with the regulation in courts, but litigation challenging CARB’s rule would soon be picked up by the California Trucking Association (CTA). Enforcement of the rule has since been on hold, as CARB waits to be issued an ACF-related waiver from the EPA in return for CTA not filing for preliminary injunction against the law.

Even despite these agreements, some of EMA’s own members—and even some of those specifically signed on to the CARB deal—pop up on CTA’s member rolls, as per CTA’s own 2023 membership directory. Daimler Trucks North America and Navistar, Inc., are specifically listed as Allied Members of CTA for 2023.

Amazon is listed among CTA’s Carrier Members, while separately making routine promises to be a partner in the fight against climate change. While Amazon announced its “Climate Pledge” in 2019 of reaching net-zero emissions by 2040 to great fanfare, and has since branded itself a climate leader, the Center for Investigative Reporting has detailed how the e-commerce giant is overselling its green credentials by drastically undercounting its carbon emissions.

In truth, Amazon’s emissions have increased more than 40 percent in the time since it issued the pledge. Amazon also remains the largest emitter of the “Big Five” tech companies, producing no less than 16.2 million metric tons of CO2 every year. Without question, the corporation should be regarded as an industry leader in greenwashing, rather than in actual climate action.

FedEx is also a CTA Carrier-level member. Like Amazon, the company has also made promises “to achieve carbon neutral operations by 2040,” an initiative FedEx has labeled “Priority Earth.” In the years since, FedEx has funneled intensive time and resources into lobbying directly against climate action while pushing its net-zero greenwashing narrative.

UPS is another CTA Carrier-level member. UPS has historically been less effusive in its climate promises than have other corporations on this list, but the delivery giant has continuously reinforced its stance that “everyone shares responsibility to improve energy efficiency and to reduce GHG emissions in the atmosphere.”

Me, 🫱Gently Holds Requiem🫲: He's perfect 🥺

Not even a week and I'm already retconnig the lore, but he's just too perfect!!

And I'd probably do that sooner rather than later; I'm a bit undecisive.

Me: Sorry, Pyro, you're the second oldest now.

Pyro: Frag off, mysterious voice in our helmets, just leave us alone!!

Aura (back): Yeah!!

Anyway, a friend of mine who's a mechanical engineering student and obsessed with war machines blasted me with some cool infodumb. And it inspired me to create SenTarn's sparklings alternate modes: Most of them are tanks (Cuz of Tarn) or large cars (or whatever the slag Sentinel vehicle is in animated, I have no idea).

Pyrostroke: During World War II, Japan developed a super-heavy tank called the O-I. It never made it past the design stage, but it looks super cool.https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/O-I_super-heavy_tank

Armordome: A medium tank, very balanced with good speed and mobility and artillery power too, so for him I chose a Panzer V or Panther V.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panther_tank

Silverchain: Just like her twin spark, a medium tank, so I chose a Panther/Panzer IV, they really do complete each other.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panzer_IV

Aura Sentry: To really put her out of the family loop, for her I decided to go with a Tank Destroyer, a type of armoured vehicke meant to destroy enemy Tanks in duty. So her alt mode is a M50 Ontos, mostly because i think it's looks so funny like WHY HAVE ALL THOSE RIFLES.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/M50_Ontos

Magmaclaw: Quite fitting in his desire to not fight directly and strategic CPU, Cruiser Tanks are normally meant to quickly swarm an opponent. A Covenanter Tank or A13 Mk III Covenanter fits him best.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covenanter_tank

Iciclefang: Due to his love of racing and practicing sports, I thought a an armoured fast car would be the best for Icicle, so a T17E1 Staghound fits him well

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/T17E1_Staghound

Shadow Trace: For Shadow, a reconnaissance vehicle, or simply a scout car like the Fennek, fits him best, he's the type to observe and analyze his enemies first before acting, such a thing he shares with his sire.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fennek

Thunder Struck: For Thunder, a heavy lifting military truck, like one of those from movies carrying a bunch of soldiers, perfect for his desire to help stray mech animals, moving them around in his cargo, so a Navistar 7000 suit him.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Navistar_7000_series

As for Vestige and Remnant, i don't know what they could be yet, maybe some sort of truck like Sentinel, but I'm open for ideas!

Before anything, this is not to be taken seriously, it’s only meant to be fun, I just like imagining what they could be. Have a good day!! Or afternoon or night!

Ohoh I am quite liking this!!!!!

[that-bi-fan]

ok I'm bored.
