#Oh he probably just modifies memories when doing this now that I think about it

[perpetual-state-of-confusion]

I just thought about it, how does Regulus get food? Everything else I can guess. Water system in the house for water, general shelter is already provided. Can just open a window for fresh air.

I'm guessing he warded the place to keep people away from the house or to literally forget the house exists so Regulus & his listener don't get literally evicted.

But seriously, how's he stocking food? Is he just wandering into a store, grabbing a bunch of food and walking out? He's invisible, but I don't think that extends to the food he grabs? 😭

Some tired college kid working at a grocery store witnesses the weekly Magic Floating Food and just goes, "I don't get paid enough to give af," and just lets it happen.

fool for you — m. fushiguro

a/n: i love writing megumi as a cheesy lovesick idiot fool because he IS a cheesy lovesick idiot fool. an oblivious one, at that.

megumi didn't even intend to make a joke. he was being completely serious, talking in that deadpan, monotone voice that everyone around him was all too familiar with. he was talking about gojo, of course—he'd done something stupid, yet again.

despite his intentions (or rather, lack thereof), you thought what he said was funny. he was surprised when he heard you laugh; it was a sound that made him turn his head to the source of the noise, his face a mixture of flustered and confused.

"what? what did i do?" he asked, his eyes wide. he looked over your facial features, committing them all to memory without him even consciously thinking about it. christ, you looked—

"no, it's nothing," you answered, smiling at the boy. "it's just the way you said that just now was funny. sorry, i hope you didn't think i was laughing at you."

he was silent for a few seconds before realizing you had spoken; he blinked, coming back to himself.

god, what was going on with him? he was fine two seconds ago, but now he couldn't even look you in the eye. his stomach was doing some odd thing; he felt like he was simultaneously going to throw up and some, strange, other feeling that he wasn't sure how to describe.

"oh—no, i didn't think you were laughing at me. i just..." he paused, looking for his train of thought, "i didn't think what i said was very funny but, um—"

he mentally cursed himself, feeling like an idiot. why the hell couldn't he speak? why couldn't he look at you?

this had been happening a lot recently—the stuttering over his words, being unable to make eye contact you at certain moments—and with the way it's making him act, he wasn't sure if this an avenue he wanted to keep going down.

he took a breath, feeling his cheeks get hot. he ignored the it as he finished his sentence, "i'm glad i was able to make you laugh, i guess?"

jesus, he probably looked like an moron.

later, as he closed his eyes for bed, he couldn't stop thinking about that exchange. never in his life had he felt like he'd made such a complete and utter fool of himself, but he couldn't figure out why it bothered him so much. and that bothered him even more.

he replayed your laugh in his head over and over, the sound turning over in his mind like a lullaby in a music box. he wasn't sure why the thought of your laughing, the look on your face as you did so, struck him as much as it did.

and that wasn't the first time that had happened when it came to you, either, he reminded himself; there had been other moments when you'd done something that stirred up mysterious feelings inside him, like that one time you grabbed his hand to pull him along somewhere, or when you had slumped over on the train and fallen asleep on his shoulder. his mind was spinning now, keeping him from sleep.

what was it about you? everytime you'd done something or said something that he had found particularly...endearing...he felt the same feelings that he felt today: the warming of his cheeks, his stomach feeling like it was doing somersaults, his words tripping over his tongue. what was happening? why was he acting so unlike himself? why was he acting so—

his eyes shot open as he pieced everything together.

"oh god," he whispered to himself in the dark, staring up at the ceiling wide eyed and awake. as it finally settled into him why he'd been acting like so stupid around you lately, so completely out of character, he threw his hand up over his face and took a deep, loud breath.

oh god, he thought, repeating himself. i'm fucked.

Daytime TV Dreaming (A Fyuuture Kid AU Drabble ft. Heartsabyul, Savanaclaw, and Octavinelle)

While camping in the mountains during Camp Vargas, you encounter a monster exactly like the one you fought off with Ace and Deuce at the beginning of the year. While trying to fight it off again, a strange portal opens up in the mine and a person jumps out of it to your rescue. He says he doesn't remember much, but it's clear when you bring him to Crowley that this boy is also from your world, despite being a mage, and until the headmage can think of a better solution, he assigns "Yutu" to your dorm.

Something a certain someone has an opinion about.

notes: When I was re-working my masterlist I deleted a fic that I meant to be the start of a series where Yuu’s child travels back in time to try and prevent the destruction of Twisted Wonderland and their parent's untimely death. For some reason I wrote that child as having been born after Yuu was forced to leave Twisted Wonderland with modified memories, so he doesn't actually know that much about his dad until he gets iseakaid just like Yuu did to attend Night Raven in a much more dystopian setting. Anyway if I ever go back to that concept I'll probably re work it, but I thought it would be fun to share my notes about the guys reaction to this newcomer who gets sorted into Ramshackle Dorm. They/them used for Yuu as always but they are implied to be afab, "Yutu" is not meant to be the child's real name, and he is meant to be wearing a disguise to make his identity less obvious. Actual fic can be found on my masterlist.

Heartsabyul

Ace- is legitimately worried about the intentions of this weird newcomer but it comes off as him being a jealous brat so no one takes him seriously. Look, something just doesn't feel right about this! Your world doesn't have any mages but now one shows up? And he's weirdly familiar with you? Cmon someone other than him start asking some questions please! Tries to have "a talk" with Yutu, who is trying really hard to understand what his parent saw in his dad and... just not getting it at all. RiP Ace you have been assigned cringe before the kid has even been born.

Deuce- only concerned with making a good impression because if this person is from Yuu's world then they might value his opinion on.... things. Also an honor student would try to win over his crush on his own merit and not by intimidating potential competition. Actually ends up befriending Yutu and really liking his vibes, which gives the boy a lot of guilt because he knows his dad would probably feel very guilty if he knew what his son's life has been like.

Trey- he is slightly worried about how Yuu will handle having to take care of an actual person and not just a monster, but he also feels like it is none of his business so he doesn't pay too much attention. But then Yuu mentions that Yutu is a pretty talented baker and that's why they haven't been bugging him for sweets as much. Well isn't that just ADORABLE??? Trey isn't upset about this at all nope, not one bit. He's extremely upset and Yutu is stirring the pot because he thinks making his dad angry is funny.

Cater- oh look, another person who won't be a part of his life eventually. He doesn't get any weird vibes from Yutu so he doesn't worry about what his appearance might mean too much, but there is something about the way the newbie insists on trying to be his friend that reminds him a lot of Yuu and isn't helping with this whole "denial of the crush" thing he is trying to do. If he didn't know any better he would think Yutu was doing it on purpose.

Riddle- immediately starts butting into Yuu's life more to give them advice about being a proper housewarden. Not that he didn't already see them as one, it's just disciplining a human student and disciplining Grim are a bit different and no he is not using this as an excuse to spy on the Prefect how dare this brat suggest his intentions are impure?!?! (Ah but you see Riddle you can't just take Yutu's head off in front of their Prefect because you want them to liiiike you and he is so going to use that against you.)

Savanaclaw

Leona- understands that something is not quite right as Yutu's explanation of who he is doesn't quite pass the sniff test. Literally, the brat smells like Yuu with his magic and since Leona was one of the people who got a good look at the portal Yutu came through he pieces things together pretty quickly. Not that he immediately goes and pulls a Vader on the kid, he just makes it clear he knows there is some time travel involved and demands to know what his goals are. He can leave the family shit for after he's secured the kid's existence.

Ruggie and Jack- while they have different opinions on the new kid, Leona's sense of smell still tells him Yutu's identity and as their dormleader he feels the need to take them aside and mention what he knows... sort of. He tells them that he's pretty sure time travel is involved and that Yutu is related to Yuu, but he neglects to mention the whole bit about who he thinks the father is... which drives them insane in completely different ways.

Ruggie thinks that since you clearly have a thing for beastmen anyway he would be stupid not to shoot his shot. He doesn't give two shits about whether or not Yutu is his kid, time isn't real so he can just rewrite it a bit.

Jack is determined to treat Yutu fairly and protect him since you are his friend and that's what friends do for each other's kids. Has a full blown panic over whether or not this might give the kid an identity crisis and takes him aside to reassure him he doesn't want to replace his real father, and that he will be happy as long as Yuu is happy. que the world's most awkward conversation

Octavinelle

Azul- Oh? Ramshackle has a new dorm member? And he's a mysterious mage... allegedly from the same world as Yuu... something doesn't make sense here but while he is figuring that out. Capitalism ho! This is a great money making opportunity he is observing and scheming and thinking about the perfect contract to get Yutu to spill all his secrets. Unfortunately, Yutu seems to be afraid of him for some reason? Not Floyd or Jade, just him. He can't say he dislikes it... but it is a bit odd, at least it gives him something to talk about with you???

Floyd- Also saw the portal that Yutu came through and thinks something must be up with how close the guppy seems to want to be with Yuu. Starts calling him baby shrimpy as a joke because of how clingy he is to you, but he really really hates it. He can't fight baby shrimpy because that will make you not like him, and he can't scare baby shrimpy off with a deal because he's weirdly smart with those sort of things. He also seems to really look up to Floyd... like that one spiderverse meme, and Floyd hates it! he already had a hard enough time getting Yuu alone when Grim was around he doesn't need a second baby unless it's actually his >:CCC

Jade- a new mage? How delightfully unpredictable. He's probably the only one genuinely happy Yutu is around because of how funny the story of his arrival is. The only upsetting thing about this is that he wasn't able to go camping with Yuu himself. Like Azul he senses something is wrong with Yutu's story, but he doesn't intend to press him until he has the new kid's trust. He's just here to help after all, there's nothing to be afraid of so long as there is no need for him to be jealous.

C꩜de Red! (hcs.ft Yan!Manila Mikey)

SYNOPSIS: Headcanons of Yandere Manila Mikey taking care of you while you are on your period REQUEST: "Hii! Could I get a yandere manila Mikey x darling who is on her period? GENRE: HEADCANONS, YANDERE! fluff WARNINGS: Reader has a Uterus, ooc mikey, mentions of blood (obv), overprotectiveness, Mikey being too clingy, a littol toxic behaviour, jealousy ୨୧ CHARACTERS: Yandere!Mikey x Gn!reader-(uterus haver)

Yandere Mikey?? Boy be prepared for random bursts of emotions, possessiveness, mood swings and irritative behaviour...you might actually think he is the one who is on his period lmao.

Yan!Manila Mikey is a very possessive and protective person, and expect him to become even more overbearing and clingy.

Doesn't like you going out in general cause it makes him anxious, you are so innocent and the world is so scary, he's just so worried about your safety. But he cannot control your life so he's made peace with it (correction: tries to make peace with it.)

But while you are having the big red? Oh boy..you are not going anywhere. You'll stay in bed, Mikey would get you soup, cuddles, watch Pride and Prejudice for the nth time yada yada, he'll do anything.

He'll bring you your favourite snacks and drinks and cuddle you the entire time, he'll massage your back give you forehead kisses, and basically loves pampering you during this time!

But if you have to go out because of some stupid class or meeting at work? Expect him to show up during lunchtime with a hot meal :) It's annoying but endearing. (please eating cold food during periods is so weird uhuhu)

Mikey would keep track of your menstrual cycle to know when to expect your period. This way, he can be prepared and have everything you need. Mikey is highly protective of you all the time, but he becomes even more so when you're on your period.

Mikey is also a little bit possessive when you're on your period. He doesn't want anyone else to see you in your vulnerable state.

Probably the only time he wouldn't get angry if you give him attitude. He knows that you may be more irritable or emotional than usual, and he's always prepared to handle it.

You can cry as much as you want to. He'll hug you close and whisper sweet nothings to you, he's not the best at words, but you appreciate it nonetheless.

Plus it's advantageous to this koala because he loves sleeping and you guys can thus stay longer in bed.

Would give you a lower back massage to help you relax, he's pretty good at it too!

Doesn't care if you soil the sheets accidentally, he'll wash them for you without any problem. I have a drabble for this here: Shark week!

Mikey's overprotectiveness can be a bit suffocating at times, but he truly believes that he's just trying to help you.

[obsidianpen]

The whole scene with Liam using his Veela magic to get past Hermione’s memories was so creepy, and then him stealing a kiss 😫 Liam, no consent is never okay boi! But then you also revealed Liam experienced abuse due to his creature magic, which is so flipping complex and fantastic character development/choices on your part. Like him doing that is not black and white. And that sure af does not justify him mentally diving into Hermione mind, kissing her while she’s under his influence, but it adds weight to his decision. Ahhhh shades of grey all the way down! I love your writing Pen

thank you anon! Been getting lots of comments on the Liam portion of the last chapter, so I’m just gonna address a lot of them here:

I think it’s interesting how very up-in-arms angry a lot of people are over that specifically. Yes, of course it was morally Bad and it’s totally natural and legit to be super pissed that Liam would do that…. But I also think it’s worth looking at things from his perspective. Is it assault to interrogate a criminal like that in wizarding Britain? I’d say yes (legally in the magical world idk, probably very gray area; it would depend on if there are specific laws in place barring part-creatures from using their abilities on detained criminals… unclear, when things like veritaserum are okay, so yeah idk), but there’s a lot going on in the background that we (you? Hermione? The readers?) aren’t seeing. The real negotiations are happening between Madison and Dumbledore while the minister is out of commission. They’re both willing to ignore a few laws to get what they want because - here it is - they think they are doing the right thing.

well, okay, Madison’s being compelled by the MACUSA too, but he also thinks he’s doing the best thing for hermione by saving her from a trial in Britain. Isn’t even wrong really.

but Dumbledore - easy to see him as evil rn, but remember, he suspects riddle of murdering a poor innocent child! He thinks (correctly!) that riddle killed Myrtle and got hagrid to take the fall. He sees an opportunity to right that wrong, to clear Hagrid’s name, and to prevent someone like riddle - a murderer - from being free in the world and killing again. Because he will. And does, canonically. Dumbledore doesn’t even know about the fact that he killed his dad and grandparents yet!

so enter Liam - he honestly cared about hermione; she helped him get this job he’s been wanting, he thought she was long-time friends with his bestie… he believed all of it and thought they’d have a future as fun colleagues at the very least. Then she suddenly vanished with this creepy (to him - and he’s not wrong) guy who shows up out of nowhere and then he learns not too much later that she attacked Walt, fucked with his memories, and then lied to all of them; Walter gets fired, and then when they track her down, he learns that she also attacked and modified the memories of some witch and her house-elf in Britain (oh and she nearly killed the minister and two other people in her escape attempt)…

From where he’s standing, hermione is not a good person. She’s assaulted and modified the minds of several people, she’s stolen and used some old lady’s gold and name and affluence, she’s invented an entirely new fake identity…

so, when Albus Dumbledore and Lester Madison, two of the most powerful wizards he knows of (one of him is now his boss) asks if he can get these memories from her using a bit of his special brand of magic… what is he supposed to say? When it would, in the end, conceivably save both her (by getting her back to America) and put away a much more sinister wizard (if Dumbledore is correct and this creepy dude that whisked hermione away is actually a killer… and he is!). He may not have been jazzed to do it - he never tried to seduce her in America before, after all, and never would have - but one doesn’t say no to your very adamant new boss and freaking Dumbledore, the guy who defeated Grindelwald, especially not when the ends really do seem to justify the means (to them, at least). And all of this is not even touching upon the very vague hinting at Liam’s personal history with abuse.

anyway, kind of a rant, just had to put it out there because yeah, what Liam did was icky and nonconsensual but what hermione has done to people many times was also icky and nonconsensual and arguably a whole lot worse (imo, of course, but everyone is entitled to think differently there!).

Been thinking about Sevika a bit and I had some thoughts.... Vander included as well.

First off I'm leaving this untagged because I don't want the wrong people to get a hold of this but you can reblog if you want.

Second, to be clear, I have not seen/read/consumed any leaks about anything related to Arcane out of choice. I wanted to see this series unfold on release days and enjoy being unspoiled with most of the rest of the fandom. Nothing I say here regarding theories will have anything to do with leaks. If they do, I promise you it's coincidence or I'm just good at reading the tea leaves. That being said, please for my sake and the people reading this post, don't be an asshole and say anything related to any leaked content, vague mention or not. Actually if you read any leaks related to this, I'd really prefer if you kept any and all comments to yourself. This is primarily for folks like me who are just theorizing for fun until we get more officially released info.

Anyway let me start..

Life and Death

As I've said before, I am still fearing Sevika's death. That remains true even after Act 1 of the season has concluded. We know from the teasers and trailers that Sevika is getting a wardrobe update and a new look for Act 2 and beyond. But I still fear what will happen. I do think her situation can either go one of two ways:

Sevika Lives

I haven't had a chance to actually write this out in a fic yet but one of my headcanons for Sevika is that she'd heavily reconsider the real fight for Zaun if she met someone who she really and truly grew to care for and love. And not because she's flaky or Zaun doesn't matter. But because these life and death situations are incredibly more difficult when you have people in mind to protect. What happens if you die? Who will protect them when you're gone? Is it worth setting them up for heartache by putting yourselves in the line of fire? That's a lot to consider.

Season 1 showed us that Sevika thought Vander was weak for not taking the fight to Zaun a second time. But what she didn't understand was that he had loved ones to look after—kids. Would it be worth making them parentless a second time for Zaun's liberation? Who would look after them? That's a tough question to answer. And I think the rest of this season will build up to Sevika coming to the same realization that Vander and Silco did before her—is putting my home and life in danger worth risking losing my loved ones or my loved ones losing me?

I hate that now I just look like a damn copycat if this ends up coming to fruition but that's just the stress of being a slow ass writer. Oh well lol.

In any case, since it looks like Jinx is gonna be the real deal when it comes to taking the fight to Piltover, I'm willing to bet that Zaun will win their independence. It looks like they have it now in the current (now old) League lore so I don't think that outcome will change. If that wasn't the case, I'd say Sevika would probably give that fight up and live or straight up leave Zaun to go elsewhere.

Sevika Dies

I can see Sevika's death happen one of two ways:

1) Killed by Enforcers. This is obvious. Unfortunately it happens to a lot of Zaunites. I can see this happening to her either by getting caught somewhere unawares or protecting either Jinx and/or Isha.

2) Warwick*. This is...a tricky one. Most of us who know the absolute bare minimum of League lore know that Warwick is a genetically modified werewolf created by Singed but outside of that, I don't think we ever got his full identity (I know Riot has a short story for him but I haven't read it). It's pretty obvious by now that Vander is becoming Warwick. The big question is going to be what does that mean for the rest of the characters and Zaun? And how much of his memories will Warwick retain from being Vander?

If he does retain flashes of those memories, I can see him being pissed about what he may see as a betrayal and decide to kill Sevika for supporting Silco.....

More On Vander/Warwick

....HOWEVER....

I think it's also completely possible that Warwick retains some of his memories BUT encounters Sevika while she's with Jinx and Isha. And his memories of Jinx stop him from killing Sevika which would be VERY INTERESTING for two reasons. One, I think it would mean a lot to him to see his kid being protected and accepted by someone he felt betrayed him. That maybe he thought wrong of her because this kid he once knew as sweet and innocent likes her. And two, Jinx says to Smeech right before their fight that people close to her usually end up dead. Well what if Sevika ends up alive when confronting Warwick because she's around Jinx? That would be an interesting flip from last season and that statement overall.

Second point here. About Zaun's liberation, what if Warwick ends up being a key weapon to helping liberate them? The Chem Tanks attack on Piltover was devastating and if it wasn't for the Noxians, they would have caused quite a lot of destruction. Warwick's abilities are unknown right now and it doesn't even look like he's fully completed his transformation. The Enforcers hear about a giant ass wolf man monster roaming the streets of Zaun or too many die at his hands and are like "actually nvm they can fucking have their independence."

I'm almost sure the creators have said it's possible for more Arcane characters to become Legends in League so maybe Sevika could become one at some point? Idk

So yeah I am still bracing myself for the worst but ultimately just enjoying any screen time we get with her. According to the intro sequence, she ain't important enough to make a main character, so it's possible she's doomed OR she might be one of the characters who has their story expanded in a future League universe work when Arcane ends, which I'm almost sure will happen with Ambessa.

JS!Reader headcanons; gear, powers, relationships and so on.

Criminal minds × Spiderverse au; headcanons.

No warnings really. Noel mention, that's about it.

A/N: Okay okay okay okay okay, I wanted to put down some thoughts about my original spider! Reader au that started it all. Just basic power functions, about gear, and relationships/allies etc. I'm also refreshing my memory. There's a cat laying on me, help.

Disclaimer, I wasn't supposed to be writing this but I can't sleep either so ramblings of a sleep deprived kirje otus ✨ I plan on doing this same thing with the other variants of the spider! Reader that's been discussed with anon on my blog such as the variants of black widow base spider! reader.

How do I tag this ???

So original spider!/ JS! Reader, he was a self indulgence on my part in a way; there's background & some personality to him already, the arcade & dog mentioned in the oneshots & headcanons, masc & using he/him.

No description of looks has been set though and never will be.

- based on jumping spiders, bc love love love love love them so much, so let's call him JS! Reader.

- OH, brief context on power origin; so JS!R got bumped and kidnapped, his genes and DNA have been mutated with that of a specially DNA modified jumping spider gene.

- JS!R is specifically based on more scifi-style setting, where he doesn't get all the abilities in one big scene. And he's not a science need, but a general engineering nerd so he builds his own stuff or buys and modifies.

- grappling hooks to help him get from building to building because he doesn't produce silk before like few months later bc i said so. (It's actually based on the body's recovery and adjusting time ++ general discovery of how to use abilities and so on that is not an instantaneous process.)

- sensory information receiving probably would be the first thing JS!R discovers first, I mean, he gets more sensory input from the outside world; becomes more sensitive to touch specifically and visual stimuli.

- also I think the Visual stimuli side also activates his spider sense so much easier than anything else. Faux danger in a way, the subconscious feeling of dread (or pressure?) when you feel someone watching you when you become aware that someone is watching you. That happens in your subconscious.

^ working on that upper one also I think since JS!R would be Hotch's son, he would be probably so much more aware of things around him due to the time he spent in the witness protection with Jack & his mum, Hayley. (The whole George Foyet thing happened before JS!R got his powers soo) The last moments where the kids were in danger would have made his senses probably more keen in cases where he's being watched. Even the same with false alarms (your subconscious mistakes something and thinks it's a danger and puts you into the sense that you're in danger; false fight or flight mode etc etc.).

- then there would be the jumpiness due to the sensory input he's going through, afterwards he'd probably get to see the fact that he can now jump more length and higher than normally/before (bc JS!R is a highschooler, that's what he's been written to be. And gym/P.E in school.)

- JS!R will get the web/silk production little by little specifically three weeks after it would start in some thin and uncooperative strands that he can't do much about or work with. (He's just kinda sticky fingered at first, because while yes he does have the gland that produces the silk on his wrist it's at the very near of his inner palm.)

^ physically his hands and wrists will be sore when it develops over several months and kinda ""grows into its place"".

- I see a lot in the canon of spiderverse that the characters struggle with letting the grip go, but in JS!R case it's all about the small hairs growing into their place and being unreliable. Also sweat makes them more unreliable because it makes them slick and less likely to stick to any surfaces.

- I think he accidentally discovered the super strength and properly his spider senses. Reflexes would be discovered in school most likely (again Gym/P.E) or something. Uuuuhhhhhhhh yehs.

about his gear !!

- I already mentioned that JS!R makes most of his gear himself.

^ uses something similar to grappling hooks as a substitute to combat the lack of silk/webbing at first.

- he has a really simplistic ""uniform"" = a nice jacket with a hood/hoodie with hood up (plus points it has a nice arcade style design on it!!) & a bandanna on his face of something similar to that to hide his face. Probably some type of eyewear, like goggles to combat winds. Also protective gear; knee & elbow skating pads.

- that doesn't really change much over the course of the whole thing. I think there's a headcanon or a mention of a gasmask on the place of the bandanna in my older work though but I'm not completely sure. (That would probably be seen as an update though ... Like I don't mean the full face helmet-like gasmasks but respirators masks !!)

Allies and relationships !! ++ some media visibility.

- so I already have made a small headcanon/one shot —I think— about Hotch finding JS!reader coming in through the window after patrolling like months after the initial incident.

- uhh... Also it's been at some point headcanoned/put to be that Hotch & JS!R do some work together when it comes to cases & other things. (Of course due to regulations it's just here and there, Hitch tells JS!R more about his work and so on because R made a deal with him. Iirc .. nvm if it wasn't like that bc now that's headcanoned!). Albeit, it's later on that Hotch introduces JS!R to his team (mentioned in that one derek-centered blurb) at a point that's not been written about yet lol.

- also the Hotchners do have a dog in this au bc i said so, his name is Tossu now.

- (Media visibility mention) so, Hotch knows his son is the vigilante that folks call a spiderman.. or Jumpy for that matter with how the clips he's shown in have him either jumping or being jumpy (scared and so on, jumping out of fear etc).

- He has a friend and & an ally who was also one of the kids that was taken/kidnapped and used for unethical experiments; Noel (she/they nonbinary character) who is also a more or less designed to be an oracle-like character.

^ expanding on that; He & Noel have a very casual friendship going on where JS!R is shown to be concerned by how little self preservation skill Noel has (I think I have a blurb up about that??). Also it's shown that the two do work together from time to time at least while being both vigilantes. Noel is portreyed as a bit greedy and interested in thrill seeking, but is also very determined and focused when they want to be.

Also I have yet to write anything regarding Noel's powers. But she essentially works something similar like an oracle does. That was always set in stone for that guy.

- Hotch knows about Noel but not in detail, I mean he did see her sitting around the side of JS!R bed at the hospital waiting for him to wake up when lore was introduced about him & Noel was initially introduced.

- there's been like four other characters designed to be JS!R ally's but y'know ... Idk when and/or if I'll be making things about that lol.

- also enemies, there's a WIP oneshot that mentioned a weapons dealer who is linked to the "how's it hanging there?" oneshot & the whole kidnapping of JS!R and the other kids.

I’ve been encouraged to present a TED talk, so please blame @cashandprizes and @batch-of-pengwings 🤙

“The Last of the Real Ones” by Fall Out Boy

and why it’s the ultimate D(a)emon/Human shipping track.

First verse: Gavin/Freelancer

I was just an only child of the universe/ And then I found you/ And then I found you/ You are the sun and I am just the planets/ Spinning around you/ Spinning around you/ You were too good to be true/ Gold plated/ But what's inside you/ But what's inside you/ I know this whole damn city thinks it needs you/ But not as much as I do/ As much as I do, yeah

Gavin is the aforementioned only child of the universe- star children, constellations, Vindemiatrix, etc, you get the vibe.

“You are the sun, and I am just the planets” has a wonderful parallel to Gavin’s iconic line that I can’t remember right now, the one that’s like “you’re the sky to my stars, filling the gaps.”

“Gold-plated but what’s inside you” makes me think of Gavin’s flirty, arrogant exterior and his sweet, tender, vulnerable interior.

“I know this whole city thinks it needs you as much as I do” could apply to both Gavin and Freelancer: Freelancer’s tendency to spread themselves thin in service of the people they love and Gavin’s noble act of putting up that ward in the Inversion.

Second verse: Regulus/Doll

I am a collapsing star with tunnel vision/ But only for you/ But only for you/ My head is stripped just like a screw that's been tightened too many times/ When I think of you/ When I think of you/ I will shield you from the waves/ If they find you/ I will protect you/ I will protect you/ Just tell me, tell me, tell me, I/ I am the only one/ Even if it's not true/ Even if it's not true, yeah

What is the collapsing star- Regulus, the fallen empathy daemon, or the extinguished lights of Doll’s modified memories?

Doll’s “head is stripped like a screw that’s been tightened too many times when I think of you.” Honestly, the “you” could be anyone, their head is all fucked up now.

“I will shield you from the waves if they find you. I will protect you (I will protect you) Just tell me, tell me, tell me, I, I am the only one even if it's not true.” Need I say more?

Third verse: Avior/Starlight

I'm here at the beginning of the end/ Oh, the end of infinity with you/ I'm here at the beginning of the end/ Oh, the end of infinity with you/ I'm done with having dreams/ The thing that I believe/ Oh, you drain all the fear from me/ I'm done with having dreams/ The thing that I believe/ You drain the fear from me

“I’m here at the beginning of the end- oh, the end of infinity with you.” The beginning of the end? Of infinity? Like, a manufactured nine circles of hell? Like, the Meridian? Like, a love story starting over from the beginning?

“I’m done with having dreams” reminds me of Starlight having those flashbacks in the form of dreams and voices.

“You drain the fear from me” because he can EAT fear. Probably? I’m not super sure about the eating habits of d(a)emons, let alone Inchoates but you get the gist.

Thank you for listening to my TED talk; go forth and never listen to this song the same way ✌️

Surprise mf/ref/j

(READ ME)

I have Invader Zim Ocs I never showed he-oh wait no I showed Lim once and then she was forgotten,again,sorry baby unu

BUT now that I've been watching the show again with my siblings I guess my motivation to draw her and Gen came back,I revive my childhood memories whenever I do cuz I used to watch Invader Zim when I was...2-3 I guess? I remember I was really small at that time and used to get angy when someone was mean to Dib or they never believed him but now I think he's annoying sorry not sorry folks (my fav character is Gaz jiji) ANYWAYS now I'll start typing these 2 sillies info before I start talking about something else:

💚Lim was very close to the Tallest Spork before he died and dislikes Red and Purple so after leaving with the excuse of invading another planet she never came back but then her spaceship crashed with something(probably an asteroid) she ended up on earth casually falling near Zim's base so he took her in and the rest is a WIP I'm still working on,you're free to ask about it tho

🧡Gen is one of the best invaders since his aggressive behavior gave him advantages for it,after the incident with Spork and Miyuki he tried to move on and make Lim feel better distracting her with anything but that didn't really worked,after noticing Lim stopped coming back he tried to look after her(both of them have a thingy on their ships to track eachother just in case one of them gets lost,it happened a few times with Limxd) he found her on earth to bring her back but after she decided not to welp,he's stuck with her on that planet and ngl when he saw Zim he wanted to destroy him cuz he knows he's responsible for the last tallests death(if I remember correctly).

💚Lim loves to learn about the earth like I wrote up there and she carries a book with some info about it wherever she goes(I'm sure she'll love school too jdjdkdk)

🧡Gen is the opposite,he hates earth and hoomans so sometimes he joins Zim when he tries to destroy/invade it

💚Lim doesn't get mad easily but when she does she's kinda creepy,believe or not Gen has been afraid of her because of that xD

🧡💚both of their robots had been modified by them,that's why Gen's S.I.R it's and I.I.R and I don't remember well if H.I.R is canon or not,I need to investigate-

💚🧡they were created on 2019 and I drew them alooot during that time thx to the movie,I even used to RP with them and if I could I would show the old art but I'm kinda ashamed to BUT if I find something good I may show it,maybe.

💚Lim kinda has a crush on Zim but nobody knows it..yet

(ok this is all I got for now,as I typed before if you wanna know more you can ask them or me, if u readed all of this then thank you I really appreciate it,more may be coming soon so see ya on the next IZ post! And an extra fact that is about myself is that I used to like ZaDR...now I hate it pls forgive me 😭)

Recalled • Part 6 • 45 - Nero

Previous • Series Masterlist • Part 6 Masterlist • Next

TW: Blood

Nero lurks in the corner of a two-story car park, coated in shadow. She’s got a pepper sprayer in the satchel that hangs around her, she’s not sure why Roland wanted to meet here. She hears flats tapping as Roland makes his way around the corner.

“Well, this is creepier than when Trevor asked me about a parting gift.” She laughs awkwardly.

Roland stops momentarily before finishing his way over to her.

“Oh, sorry that’s probably a touchy subject.”

“Just stop talking.”

“Sorry.”

Roland takes a breath, “Friday I told you that I knew a bad way to let out misery,” He pauses. “I need to tell you what I did.” 

Nero looks around nervously, “Is it bad?”

“Very bad,” He takes another breath, then pauses, he actually paces around a little before continuing. “I, I, one time I pinned a girl set for unwinding to a bathroom wall, and I told her that I’d make sure she’d be unwind-proof for nine months. What’s even worse is that when her boyfriend came in and I told him she had wandering eyes for me, she didn’t, obviously.” He sniffs.

Nero is pissed, absolutely grossed out, but there’s something weird about what he said. “Hold up, if she was set for unwinding, weren’t you set for unwinding?”

“Yes, and?”

Nero becomes less uncomfortable. “Well then that doesn’t matter anymore, your actions before your unwinding have been made null because you’re Modified. I can’t do anything about it, you just have to deal with the burden of those memories.”

“Why aren’t you hurting me yet?” Roland mumbles.

“Pardon?”

“WHY AREN’T YOU HURTING ME YET!? I DESERVE TO BE PUNISHED NERO!” He yells.

Nero is worried and confused. “But it’s not your fault, you need to start thinking about your pre-unwind memories in the third person.”

“Well if you won’t hurt me because of that, then, I also kissed my ex without her permission, does that make you feel anything?”

Nero starts to be annoyed by this nonsense. “Did you do that, or did Roland Taggart?”

“What answer will make you beat the shit out of me?”

Nero turns away from Roland, pressing her index and thumb to her nose bridge. “Roland, I’m not giving you a beating for something you yourself didn’t do.”

Nero hears someone running behind her, she panics pulling her satchel off of herself and wiping it out by the loop as she turns back around. Nero watches in horror as the satchel connects with Roland’s face, it sends him flying against the concrete wall and to the floor of the car park. 

“ROLAND!” Nero screams as she sees blood appear on the concrete from underneath his face. She lifts up his bloodied and bruised body from the concrete. “Now we’re talking,” Roland says shakily, “But, that didn't hurt enough.” 

Nero hastily grabs serviettes and hand sanitizer from her satchel, trying not to punch Roland’s already caked-in-blood face for such a stupid comment. “Oh I think it did, your meds are just still working their magic.”

Nero blots away at his face, neck, and shoulders, it’s not as bad as she thought, but his chin will definitely need stitches. She sees Roland’s eyes widen at the amount of tissues she’s used up. “Don’t worry that’s most of it, now are you done being an idiot?”

Roland nods, Nero places a bandaid on Roland’s chin until she can get it stitched up. “Why did you even want to do this in the first place?”

“Risa.”

“Risa?”

“The girl in the bathroom, she was in my dreams last night, she asked me to get someone to beat me up.”

Nero shakes her head. “Dear lord Roland, your dreams are in your subconscious, Risa didn’t ask you to do jack-shit.”

“I know! But no one ever got justice, so why can’t I give them justice now!?”

“Because Roland Taggart already got karma through his unwinding, now stop feeling sorry for yourself!” She pauses. “You need to let it go, you probably just ruined your weekend because of this.”

Roland finally breaks down, crying into Nero’s shoulder. “It was already ruined.” He cries.

Nero furrows her eyebrows, something’s off, and she suddenly gets very angry. “You and Trevor didn’t break it off like you texted me, did you?”

“He didn’t listen to me, and I was his side piece, he already had a girlfriend.”

Nero sticks to the first thing, her voice turns ice cold. "What do you mean by that? He didn't listen to you?"

"He, he..."

“Did he touch you?”

Roland nods, Nero’s stomach sinks, and guilt practically radiates off of her. She should’ve told Trevor to “bug off” when he asked about a parting gift, and she should’ve never told Roland Trevor was checking him out.

“Nero!” Roland gasps. “Nero you’re choking me!”

Nero loosens her grip on him, “I’m sorry,” She looks into his tear-filled eyes. “Let’s just go have a girls' day, or… something, I don’t really know what a girls' day is.”

Roland emits a chuckle. “I think it’s either going to the mall or having a pamper session and talking shit, I don’t feel like doing the talking shit part though.”

Nero nods, “Let’s just relax at the apartment then, are you okay if I drop you off while I go pick stuff up?”

Roland agrees Nero helps him off the ground, and they start heading out of the car park.

Nero squats to be level with the bottom shelf at the variety store, currently trying to decide whether to get Roland lavender or eucalyptus Epsom salts. 

“Can I help you out with anything?”

Nero looks up at one of the store clerks looking down at her. 

“Just trying to decide which salt to get, do you have any suggestions?”

“I’d go with lavender, eucalyptus is too strong and only really good for plugged noses.” 

“Right, thank you.”

As the store clerk leaves Nero puts the lavender salts and unscented bubble bath into her basket. She looks around to see if she can find face masks when something catches her eye, hair dye. When the nurses had originally shown Sam and Nero the videos of Starkey both of them were horrified. Somehow though, the only thing that stuck with Nero was how well his red curly hair went with his face. Nero looks through the dyes to see if she can find anything similar. Throughout this time Starkey’s hair has been slowly growing back brown and curly under the bleach-blonde cut. Nero does find a similar dye, but she puts it back on the shelf, if she’s going to dye her hair like his then she might as well get it professionally permed at the same time. 

Nero ends up finding face masks on an end shelf next to where she was first looking. Near the checkout, Nero grabs more protein bars and a rubber duck for Roland as a joke. 

Nero gets back to the Apartment, hiding the duck as a surprise. She goes over to Roland’s room, knocking before entering. Nero sighs and goes over to the giant, sobbing lump in the bed, she starts petting it. “What’s wrong this time?” She asks.

“I saw myself in the mirror, I look like a monster!” He cries.

Nero rolls her eyes, smiling to herself. “Oh Roland, c’mon bud, I got you some Epsom salts and bubble bath, why don’t you go relax?”

Roland peeks out from under the covers. “Will you cover the mirror for me?” 

“Of course.” Nero leaves the room as Roland slowly crawls out of bed.

Once Roland is properly in the tub Nero comes in to drop in the rubber duck. “You’re in a city of bubbles and yet you still look mad, you bruting over there?”

Roland shakes his head. “No, I just sometimes look mad when I’m calm.”

Nero giggles. “Oh,” She reveals the rubber duck, placing it in the water. “I got you a little friend.”

The duck floats off towards Roland’s face, tapping it. “It keeps bumping into me.” He states.

Nero smirks, “Yeah, it’s giving you little ducky kisses, ‘cause it loves you.” 

Roland smiles for once. “I love you too ducky.” He even giggles. 

Nero touches her head. “Your hair is growing out.”

He nods. “I’m not opposed to it, but I might keep the sides shaved and blow it out.”

Nero nods back, she then gets serious. “If it’s not too much to ask of you right now, I’d like you to tell me your story of before you got unwound. There’s a catch though.”

“What’s that?” 

“I want you to tell me it in the third person.”

…

“He, I, Roland didn’t make it on the varsity boxing team, so he challenged one of the members, that member was dating Roland’s ex. And to piss that member off Roland kissed his ex.”

“I see.” 

…

“To get Connor’s attention Roland went and sexually harassed Risa, I remember hearing that Roland wasn’t going to do anything, but I only have memories of what happened. I don’t know if he meant to do anything or nothing.”

“Okay…”

…

“Roland was being such an asshole that Connor thought he killed the goldens so he trapped Roland in a metal shipping crate to interrogate him.”

“So that’s why you freaked out the first day I met you.”

“Yeah.”

…

“Roland had had enough of Connor so he outed Connor, and Risa by proxy to the Juvies, all three of them got caught.”

“How’d you get near Juvies?”

“With the Chopper, we were at a hospital because the Admiral had a stroke. Roland never liked the Admiral, he was forced to take him.”

“Ah.”

…

“At the Chop Shop, Roland tried strangling Connor, but he was too scared to end him.”

“Mhmm.”

“And then Roland got unwound.” Roland looks up at Nero.

She shrugs. “Well, now I’ve got a better idea of him. And hey, I don’t think you even noticed, but I made you do a mental exercise.”

“How?”

“You spoke about Roland in the third person, not as yourself, by doing that you can disassociate from him, like you should’ve been doing this whole time.”

“Oh.” 

Nero looks around, most of the bubbles are gone, Nero panics and gets up. “Kaaaaaaayyyyyy, I’m going to get out of here before I see something I don’t want to, are you okay with Chinese takeout tonight?”

Roland shoves his hands between his legs, embarrassed. “Yup, that sounds good.”

Nero gets out of the bathroom, across the room from the door is the table that the bouquet sits on. It brings violent imagery into Nero’s head, of all the ways she could harm and screw over Trevor. She pulls out one of the forget-me-nots, pressing her thumb under the head of the flower she pops it off. 

Nero hears the bathroom door opening, she quickly puts the stem and flower into the nearest garbage.

“Sorry, it was getting cold in there.” Roland laughs, he looks across the room, he then averts his eyes from the vase, his lips pouting. Nero comes over to him, putting her hands on his shoulders. “Tomorrow I will bring him to justice, I promise you.”

Nero sits on the benches with Carter, she glares across the room at Trevor, pumping a weight in her hand. 

“Are you okay?” Carter asks.

“You told me once that you ate bullies for breakfast.”

“Yeah…”

“Well you let a bully get away, and now you’ve got to devour him whole for dinner.”

Justice comes in many ways, whether someone is rightfully convicted, whether the wealth is equally distributed, or possibly whether someone gets the correct treatment. Today, justice comes in fingers shoved so far up someone’s nose that it bleeds and multiple kicks in between the legs.

Back to the Future: The Animated Series, s01ep01 "Brothers" Review & Commentary

Well, I let you people vote on it, and you (overwhelmingly) urged me to do this. Not gonna lie; I'm excited. The animated series is. It's a thing that was made. It's kind of like that cousin or uncle that no one in the family really talks about or acknowledges. But, as far as a children's show goes, it is pretty fun. It's also ridiculous, and I can't wait to dive in, tear it apart, analyze it too much, and just generally have a good time talking about this weird little cartoon. These posts will be long, but I'm going to really try to make them enjoyable to read.

Before we begin! Some background info just to orient you: The series takes place in 1991. The Brown family has moved to a farm in Hill Valley and are continuing to go on adventures through the space time continuum because why not? Doc has thrown all caution to the wind, evidently. Marty is in college. I guess 1991 would put him in his senior year, so, maybe he's 20? I dunno. I'm going to have a LOT of fun discussing him, because--as you may have seen me mention briefly in the past--they really did a number on him character-wise.

The series makes use of live-action segments at the beginning and end of each episode, with Christopher Lloyd as Doc. He's often assisted by Bill Nye, The Science Guy. Most of the live action beginnings are framed as Doc telling a story about a specific memory or adventure, which then leads into the cartoon portion, which is the "bulk" of the story. Please keep this in mind. These are supposed to be actual life stories that Doc is sharing about the goings-on in his life post-trilogy. Okay, let's get to it.

We open in Doc's lab, where he's setting up a camera. I don't think it's ever addressed or explained, but he's got some sort of science show that he now runs for children? Honestly, these segments are delightful. Christopher Lloyd clearly enthusiastically jumped right back into the role of Doc, and it's great to see more of him.

There's our guy. Look at him. He's wearing his train shirt again, so he must have gotten a new one after the events of Part III. I don't blame him; that is a nice shirt. He's talking about the electromagnet that he and Jules have made, and it leads him into a story of another time the two of them built one, which was in 1864. Cue the cartoon portion!

The first cartoonified (?) character we get to see is Marty! He's supposed to be paying attention to a history lesson on the Civil War (using Doc's futuristic tech that includes a holographic teacher) but he's not listening at all. He's got his headphones on and is jamming on his guitar. Very Marty behavior. At least they kept that trait of his. Anyway, look at him. Look what they did to him. He's wearing a letterman jacket like some sort of jock, and I do not approve of it. Why did they not have him wear a denim jacket?? Denim was huge in the 90s. Who made this decision? Where are the strings on his guitar? I have so many questions and no answers.

Oh! I should probably mention that Marty is voiced by David Kaufman. Many of you will know him as the voice of Danny Phantom. Doc is voiced by Dan Castellaneta, who is also the voice of Homer Simpson.

When Doc enters the scene, he shows Marty the new feature he's added to the DeLorean. (Oh, yeah, the DeLorean is back, btw. He built another one) As a precaution against anyone trying to steal the car, Doc has modified it to be able to fold down into a suitcase?

It will only open up at the sound of Doc's voice or Einstein's bark, and it weighs over 2,000 pounds. Doc also has a fancy robot crane thing to help lift it and carry it around, but it malfunctions when he tries to demonstrate, and it catapults the DeLorean-turned-suitcase that weighs a literal ton RIGHT ON TOP OF HIM.

photos taken seconds before disaster. rip Doc, cartoon over.

He then shows Marty how the time circuits are now voice activated, and we also learn that the car can travel to locations throughout the world now. It is no longer confined to just traveling through time. Marty's thinks this is all very interesting (no he doesn't) and hurries off because he's late for his classes and Dean Strickland will be angry at him if he fails his Civil War exam. Doc goes into a mini soliloquy, saying, "Ah, the Civil War; a tragic moment from America's past. The powers of oppression and slavery versus the forces of freedom. The south pitted against the north—brother against brother. Thank goodness those days are far behind us."

Naturally, this brings us immediately to a very loud fight between Jules and Verne. Now, I actually like the way Jules and Verne are included and their personalities are established in the cartoon. And if anyone here has read my fanfic "Harborage", you know that I love writing Jules and Verne and take their characterization straight from this cartoon (though I do water them down, obviously. these cartoons are so over the top). Generally, though, I do like their dynamic. Jules is essentially a mini-Doc but even more so in a way? He's extremely smart, very logical, and speaks formally at all times. Verne, on the other hand, is all about having fun. He's loud, hyper, and thinks Jules is a huge geek. Verne and Marty are super close, and they're very much a "big brother, little brother" type dynamic duo of chaos through the series. Doc breaks up his sons' fighting, but Verne is upset that he always seems to take Jules's side.

Then, we go back to Marty (later in the day, I guess?). He's doing another virtual Civil War lesson but is still wearing his headphones and playing guitar during it. His virtual teacher gets annoyed and yells an important date from the war—February 11th, 1864 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Remember how Doc said the time circuits are now voice activated? Yeah, this date gets programmed into the DeLorean.

Verne, feeling neglected and looked down on by his family, decides to take a joy ride in the DeLorean. Marty witnesses Verne take off, and we actually get a good bit of Marty characterization! He sighs and says, "Perfect", which--as many of you know—is one of Marty's favorite words.

Meanwhile, outside, Verne nearly runs over his own father with the car, and Doc has the most hilariously cartoony reaction to seeing the car barreling at him.

Then, uh oh, Verne is sent right into the middle of the Civil War. He meets Beauregard Tannen, a Confederate General. (This is a good place to mention that Thomas Wilson actually voices all Tannen relatives in the cartoon!)

Back at the house, Doc, Jules, and Marty are all sick with worry and have no clue where Verne has ventured off to. I will point out that we haven't seen or even heard about Clara yet. Where is my girl Clara? *sigh* Anyway, it's Einstein who figures it out. He—he has mechanical gloves that he wears that basically give him human hands, so he finds a photo of Verne in a history book and...yeah.

Turns out Verne has been forced to join the Confederate Army as a little drummer boy. The book states that the group in the picture is "wiped out" a day after the photo was taken. The gang all race to the Time Train, which is hidden in an underground tunnel on the Brown's property. That's a pretty neat detail, ngl. I've wondered where Doc would store that massive train if he ever moved back to Hill Valley.

Once arriving in Chattenooga, Doc puts Marty in charge of guarding the train, and he is immediately captured and tied up. And, ya know what? Even though I feel like Marty is generally out of character a lot in this show, I'll admit it's pretty spot on so far. Doc and Jules are also captured and forced into the Union Army. They learn of General Ulysses S. Clayton, who is Clara's uncle, and Jules goes to try to convince him to put a stop to the upcoming battle. It doesn't work, but they do notice some sort of electromagnetic machine a doctor is using on Ulysses (to treat rheumatism), so Doc and Jules steal it.

On the battlefield the next day, as the armies are charging at each other, Jules gets thrown right into the middle of it all. Verne then runs to him, and they huddle together as they await their doom. (I must say that, as a first episode of a series, this is quite the story to open with. Very interesting choice.) As they soldiers prepare to destroy each other, they notice the brothers cowering together and stop in their tracks—struck by how sweet the scene is. Realizing that the war has pitted many family members and friends against each other, the men begin to hug each other and put aside their differences. On their way back home, Marty's history book changes to show that the particular regiment Verne was forced into never fought any battles. All those men apparently took the little lesson they'd been taught to heart. And I gotta point out that, originally, all those men died in battle, so Verne's actions led to a whole group of people continuing to go on, live their lives, and probably have children. But, seeing as this is a kid's show, the potential repercussions of this on the timeline aren't addressed. And that's the end of the cartoon portion.

We go back to Real Doc then. Yayyy! He shares this news with us.

The delivery of these lines is great. They're said with all the weary exasperation of a parent whose warnings have been ignored over and over. Doc does not feel bad for Marty.

I think Doc does an experiment then? But guess what. As I'm typing this, I'm realizing that I got distracted making the gifs and never actually finished the episode. I don't feel like pulling it back up and watching those last 2 minutes. Oh well.

I think that, overall, this is a weird episode to start a series on. It's not very fun or wacky. Mostly just feels like a history lesson with a "fighting doesn't solve anything" moral slapped onto it. This was fun to write up, though.

Tune in next week to see if we find out where my girl Clara is.

[thegreatobsesso]

HELLO I MISS YOU!! Tell me what Callie and Riley and everyone have been up to lately. I need my fix.

I... fffffcuking adore you. ☺️☺️☺️ I miss you too, I think about you and your OCs all the time and I mean to catch up on what you have been up to soon. I've been all over the place lately. 👻

Right now as of where I am in draft two, Callie is at Delaney, helping defeat magical racism and learning how nice it feels to be a part of a group and do good things. She's getting really close to figuring out how to actually belong somewhere and be authentic instead of playing a role she thinks people will find impressive.

Riley is somewhere else, helping the magical racists do terrible science experiments on magicians in the hopes that she can use the results to rid herself of her own magic. Meanwhile, she's also courting their enemies, the magic supremacists, to discover the key to longer life because the fucked up experiments she's doing might just kill her before she manages to discover the secrets she's looking for.

During this phase of the books they only interact twice, both times via the telephone. I'll share the first one because it's a personal favorite. :D

Adding my tag list because I never use it anymore and quite frankly, I don't know why.

@avrablake​ @adie-dee​ @dontjudgemeimawriter​ @ryorine​ @thelaughingstag​ @winterandwords​ @afoolandathief​ @asomeoneperson​ @cedar-west​ @diphthongsfordays​ @lowslore​ @poetinprose​ @cilly-the-writer​​​​​​​​ @harps-for-days

Callie POV

It wasn’t a big deal. It really, honestly wasn’t.

She dialed, and waited. One ring. Two rings. She wasn’t going to answer and hell, that was probably for the best. 

Three rings, four rings. And actually, this was fine, it was- 

“Hello?” 

Fuck, shit, fuck.

She sounded the same. Riley was on the other end of the line sounding the same, the same way she sounded in Callie’s head.

“Hi,” she managed. “It’s... Callie.” 

A pause. “Oh.” 

This was a mistake, a terrible mistake, what was she supposed to- 

“It’s been awhile. Why are you calling?” 

She swallowed the growl in the back of her throat. No need for niceties anyway, she didn’t call to chit-chat and she didn’t need to pretend otherwise, didn’t want to prolong this, so, fine. “I’m calling because I need your help,” she said. 

Silence on the other end of the line except for some distant clicking, metal on glass. “Do you?” 

Two syllables - how could someone inject so much infuriating presumption into two syllables? She could hear one of Riley's eyebrows go up, a perfect inverted V. 

"We do," she modified quickly. “The world's going to shit, and we're trying to..." 

Subvert the government? Fuck the police? How could she convey this without saying it outright? 

“Is this about SISA?” 

“Maybe,” she decided on. She couldn’t tell everything, not over the phone and not to a heartless, manipulative bitch who’d feed her own babies to the wolves. “We're trying to help, and we could use you." She bit her tongue. "Please,” she managed begrudgingly.

"Why me?" Riley asked evenly. “You call me out of the blue when I’m sure Simon Bennett could have a hundred scientists by his side in a second if he asked for them. You’re asking me. Why?” 

Ooh, she hadn’t figured it out - what a wonderful surprise. "Because it's about me," she said, a flutter of pleasure in her stomach at being out ahead for once. "And nobody knows more about how I work than you do." 

Silence, again - pornographically satisfying silence, and she wished so dearly she could see Riley's face, watch her try not to look interested. How strange, that they spent so little time together and still, Riley's micro-expressions were burned into her memory in merciless detail. Even now when she tried to picture Bennett, he came to her like a cartoon. Two-dimensional; heavy lines and exaggerated features. Riley was a living photograph. Why was that? 

“I’m actually intrigued,” she admitted, with an edge to her voice that almost made Callie believe it. “But I can’t.” 

"Why not?" 

"Because I've got a life of my own," Riley said simply. "And as helpful as you were to me in a single point in time, it doesn't revolve around you." 

Her cheeks caught fire. Tears welled up out of nowhere and she blinked furiously, gripping the phone hard enough to snap it in two. 

"Fine," she gulped. "Eat shit and die then, we’ll do it without you.” 

"Callie," Riley said, just as she was about to hang up and possibly throw the phone across the room. "How are you?" 

She misheard - must've. "What?"

"Are you okay?" 

Nothing could've pinned her to the spot quite like that simple question, with seemingly no ulterior motive to fuel it. Was she okay? 

“Y-yeah," she stammered, like a fucking idiot. "I guess so. Um. How are you?" 

A pause. "I'm alright,” Riley said. The sides of her face tingled. "Take care of yourself, Callie." 

The line went dead, but she sat there holding the phone anyway. 

One time at Bible camp, she jumped into a lake from twenty feet up without plugging her nose and she swore water shot straight up into her brain. She surfaced gagging and crying, water and snot streaming down her chin. It burned all the way through her skull, just like this. 

Yikes, Bennett sent across the bridge, even though he wouldn't have really said that word, it was just that sort of feeling, sympathetic surprise. That bad? 

She hung up the phone numbly. Fire-water, all the way up in her brain. 

what is wrong with me, she sent. She felt fucked up. She refused to qualify it any further. 

Bennett, on the other end of the bridge, was busy measuring his words with extraordinary caution. You wouldn’t be the first, he said carefully. 

She wiped at her eyes furiously. first to what. 

To... you know. Fall for somebody that’s bad for you. 

Screeching brakes. Spinning wheels. Her brain flipped off the side of the road. I HAVEN’T I DIDN’T I DON’T I’M NOT-

Okay, okay. Bennet backed away. We’ll figure this out without her, don’t worry. 

She wasn’t worried, not about that. For a hot second she wasn’t even worried about Grace anymore. She was really only worried about how utterly fucked she was and didn’t even know it until just now.

[drakothedragon55]

Because some people (on Discord) really like my silly goofy AU robot man, I decided that I was gonna do this! Y’all know who you are, and this is for you :)

— Skeletons in his Closet —

A robot fitted with cowboy-esque attire wandered through some mostly desolate plains. Radge was made with the intention of hunting down anyone who displeased his master, and for the most part, he did his job well.

There was only one teeny tiny little issue: Radge wasn’t alone.

Before the game was modified (which he referred to as ‘the change’), the bot had been working on his own little creations. However, he could hardly recall anything about them because most of his memories had been wiped, and the rest were corrupted.

But the Uberbots? He couldn’t forget them. Mainly because sometime during ‘the change’, their files had somehow become unzipped, and were now living within his mind.

“Movement spotted. Potentially the target.” The Photographer said. Due to his sensitive optical sensors, he had been helping Radge with hunting down their most recent target: an oddly small Smiling that had wandered from Pafjyn’s island and was now intruding on Krozzar’s land.

They had been stalking the infected for some time now, and nearly lost it when the Photographer offered his assistance. Radge was cautious when it came to letting an Uberbot take control, so he only did it when on a mission, and away from his master.

“Hey, Radge?” When G0lly abruptly spoke up, she inadvertently ‘booted’ Radge into the inky black confines of his synthetic subconscious. He was only there for a moment, but it felt like an eternity without his optical or auditory sensors.

“Jeez, G0lly! You can’t just butt in when another Uberbot and I are both piloting. You might throw off Photo’s focus.”

“I’m sorry….I just thought of a question and reaaaaly wanted to know the answer.” This time, G0lly had the decency to send a direct message instead of taking control of his speakers.

“Fine, fine.” He replied. “But make it quick.”

:0 “Thank you!!”

”So…how come you only let Photographer help you out? Why can’t we do one of your super cool missions?”

Radge pauses for a moment, before sending a private message to the Photographer asking him if he could be the sole pilot for now (to which he responds with a thumbs up emoji.)

“…Well, I’ve given an offer to the Archivist in the past, and she politely declined. And you know how Canvas can get sometimes. I didn’t want them to get overwhelmed—“

“That’s weird. I never got an invite. How come?”

Oh, G0lly. She was much too pure for this cruel, dark world. Radge promised himself that he’d keep her safe from the horrors he and the others had to experience because of Krozzar.

And h̵̬̹͋͋i̴̡̺̖̔̏̀͘m̶͇͚̔̑̕͝ͅ.̶̞̟̠̝͌

“Oh. Well, I probably just- forgot. Yeah.”

“…Come to think of it, you never invite me to do anything. You don’t even let me pilot.”

Radge noted that G0lly sounded like she was on the verge of tears, even though she was physically incapable of doing so.

“Why…why do you leave me out? Do you hate me that much?”

“What? No. Why would you think that, G0ll—“

“Target acquired.”

Seeing his chance to leave this awkward situation, Radge goes to re-pilot his body alongside the Photographer. Once he reconnected to his optic sensors, Radge notices the limp figure laying on the ground in front of him.

“Is it-“ ”Unconscious. Krozzar requested it be taken alive, correct?” ”Y-Yeah…”

They were essentially a robotic hitman, but Radge could never get used to the feeling of actually eliminating a target.

“I can take it from here. Thank you, Phots.” ”No problem.”

With the small infected slung over his shoulder, Radge thought that things would get easier from here. “WH#T DID YOU S#Y TO HER?”

Nevermind.

“Heyyy there, Canvas! I thought you were taking a rest.”

“S#rry for yelling, but G0lly’s gon# quiet. She s#id that she ‘finally g#t her answer.’ W#at did you say to #er?”

“G0lly sent me a notification. Is something wrong?”

“None of your business, Archivist. Now can you please just—“

“I have received a notification as well.”

“You’re all here! Awesome!!” ”I’m trying to convince Radge that I’m tough enough to help him with his missions, and I thought that you guys can help me with that!”

“Tough enough? Oh, G0lly…”

Every wire in Radge’s body felt like it was melting. His system couldn’t handle the strain of everyone attempting to pilot at once. The bot froze in place, twitching. It’s screen flickering from one set of eyes to the next.

“I agr#e with G0lly. It’s #nly fair that she g#ts to do a mis#ion.”

“This work…this world…it’s all too much for her. I’m sorry, G0lly, but I’m siding with Radge on this one. What do you say, Photographer?”

“I have little opinion on this matter, as long as our tasks are still completed.”

“-and I can complete them!”

“Can you aLL JUST SHUT UP!?!”

Silence.

“Please….just *hhh* stop. All of you. Just stop…”

“We appear to be overheating.”

“Perhaps we overdid it a bit..”

One by one, the Uberbots slowly receded back into their shared digital headspace, leaving just Radge.

And G0lly.

She didn’t say anything, but Radge could sense that she was still there.

“…G0lly?”

“…”

“I— I won’t beat around the bush anymore. I’m sorry. You’re just…so positive. You’re the only ray of sunshine we have in this miserable world, and I don’t want to lose you. I don’t want to lose you like how I lost mys-“

“…..”

“Do…do you want to look at animal pictures when we get back?”

“That’s all you had to say.” :)

And with that, G0lly was gone as well. But not before sending one last private message.

“I’m still kinda sad…but I get it. Can I at least help you and the Photographer find targets?”

“Maybe.” Radge replied as the familiar sights of the heart of Krozzar’s domain faded into view.

“Just maybe.”

THE TALE OF FOOD

MOONLIT CONFESSIONS - PART 7

━

TGII : It's spiritual force sensor part has been damaged.

MASTER : It was trying to protect us...What a brave little bunny it is...

OSMANTHUS WINE : What do we do now? I have questions I need to ask it...It hasn't been scrapped, has it?

TGII : Its knowledge search capabilities are unaffected, it is just currently incapable of independent function.

The robot stares off into the distance silently, as though contemplating something.

TGII : This place...Feels familiar.

TGII : I should know where to find the spare parts needed to repair it.

MASTER : But...

We need to find Yipin Pot, our allies are still being held captive by him. The sight of the robot holding the still form of the robo-bunny makes the words catch in my throat. Could he be...Worried about his friend too?

TGII : According to my calculations, the probability that the good-looking suspect is plotting to activate Guanghan Palace's core mechanism is an estimated maximum of 99%

TGII : Do not worry, frail little human.

TGII : Guanghan Palace has lain dormant for too long. Most of its mechanical parts will have been damaged severely due to neglect. He can only activate the core mechanism if we repair the parts.

TGII : As a hostage, your friend should be safe for the moment.

MASTER : You know what's on my mind...

TGII : You have expressions. I have expression analysis components.

TGII : But its accuracy is low. Perhaps it is because I lack something...Important.

TGII : When you awoke me in that tunnel, I felt...Close to it. So close...I thought...I was once part of it.

TGII : Ugh!

The squeal of his metal parts is followed by a spasm of pain that washes across his face.

OSMANTHUS WINE : Oh yes, TGII, do you know about the Micians? If I remember correctly, the insignia on your arm...Belongs to them.

TGII : Micians...The Micians...Urgh, I can't...Think!

MASTER : Let's give it a rest! He seems to really be suffering!

ROBO BUNNY : A search for Mician-related search terms has returned 236 results. The Micians are an offshoot of the Warring Kingdoms period Mohist school of thought, and skilled in the conceptualization of construction of mechanisms.

ROBO BUNNY : Due to their extreme ideology, they were shunned by mainstream Mohists, and gradually all traces of them vanished from the public eye.

ROBO BUNNY : Yet from the latest 51 results, the Micians who have hidden somewhere, have gone beyond the boundaries of human morals in their study of mechanisms and attracted covetous and jealous attention from the other powers.

The robo-bunny perched in TGII's lap relays information on the Micians without any trace of emotion. I wipe the cold sweat from TGII's face and notice that his insignia...Has a gash running through it.

MASTER : Why does your insignia have a gash going through it? TGII, do you know why you're in Guanghan Palace?

TGII : ...

TGII : I'm sorry, I seem to be unable to recall anything.

TGII : My memory chip has been destroyed intentionally. There are traces of the spiritual force that flowed through it. I am unable to repair it on my own.

All of a sudden, a slow tremor rumbles towards us from the distance, like the heartbeat of the earth. A sudden flare of light floods the space...Afterwards, everything returns to silence.

OSMANTHUS WINE : Could...Yipin Pot have reached the core mechanism!?

TGII : I've located the core of the Guanghan Palace. Please follow me, we'll mend the components as we make our way there.

MASTER : Are you planning...To modify the newly-repaired mechanic parts?

TGII : Yes, only we know how to get the repaired parts moving. If Guanghan Palace can be restored, the lunar Osmanthus will grow, the moon will reach its peak and Osmanthus Wine's soul power will be restored.

TGII : This is a battle with the probability of victory reaching 78%... Master, please do not worry. I used to be ranked top based on all abilities amongst the Mician inventors.

TGII : Hmm? What did I say...The Micians...?

All of us turn to stare at him. Even robo-bunny turns to face him, motionless.

MASTER : Did the core's reactivation jog your memory?

Yujiro don’t hurt me 👹 @MikeOHearnTitan #yujirohanma #mikeohearn

We're saying now is that some of the hulks are related to him not all of them well that's going to be obvious when he starts getting bigger it's not bigger yet and the Hulks are trying to stop it. He's saying that the hulks in himself need to get bigger to show people what these giants look like and can do and the empire is not really trying to stop him they should and they really possibly are they loaded them up with so much Prilosec

Thor Freya

It's a lot of Prilosec and we see why but what he says is I have to delay and I still am what we say is we need to know about it

Trump

You said oh it's David Bowman's to the rescue and he's not here and he's saying it's the song don't hurt me no more I kind of get that we're kind of mean over there so me and everywhere and we're starting to get this they were mean and we see why and he's been mean too not as me but he's trained not to be in his young but a lot of people are real mean and they can't help it and this is the source of these Max and by God they're pretty big this guy has a punch and he wants to use it on them and on us and Madonna has it right and it's Madonna Earth it's really our lady and we do understand your problem is she's not in control of what she's doing a lot of people aren't in Aunt Lois came to our friend here and it was the right thing to do and Chris he really likes it and helps get the bikes these people need help and not consecriticism and berating and threats and then we help people it's not right he says we're going about the wrong way they can't figure out what we're doing and who we are and and we have to try and he said there's a few exercises people do we probably have our own but it's try and look on the bright side and give your brain a break cortisol and hatred will hurt you so you're looking here and you think there's Giants there one thing is well we might be able to use them the other is it's a beautiful scene and then we could be in trouble would be like James Bond and try not to get manic because when it could be in trouble will help stabilize but you have to think of it a little like an actual it is a exercise word association for memory and associating things that are fine memories and remembering how things work and trying to treat people like people the person near you can help you or could hurt you it doesn't have to hurt you because a lot of people are still trying to work with us and I do see that and what are you saying is that we have to go somewhere else still because what we're doing is very bad and he doesn't know how we're going to get out of it we have his money and all sorts of other stuff and the max going to beat on us and we're going to be brutally awful and they planned for that to happen he's not really fighting to get all this money his nose about it and he figures I'm actually going to just hold on to it until they're ready to hand it over or they get beat up and we don't have a choice that's what he says because that's how it's going and at this time that is true same for US unless they're beat up they're going to hold on to that stuff and there's nothing we can do about it and he says the miniature cars and something we can do because that Bugatti can be driven places if we have an emergency it's kind of a wise ass thing to do but the many cars than he saw but all those kinds of fun and it's easy to make with a stamping process Mac knows how to do it and you can make like a almost a real car and really I want to make this Can-Am it says do I have a use for it and yeah we have uses for it and you drive on the street like a tracks but not running into people driving on the street he thinks he's trying to remember and he says mostly people would modify cars but no it's like a Subaru or something with four-wheel drive and it was a car and they had some bigger tires and I remember a car like that and it looks really weird but that's what he's saying it would look very odd but it would be a real fun car to ride around in and you can make convertibles with the roll cage I think I'm going to do that didn't make them smaller the size of the Can-Am and really he wants one and would buy one if he gets funds money because he likes to go off road and on road and we would have some sort of extravaganza hopefully without major incident

Dave

We see a lot of stuff but everybody's behavior is kind of bad and ours was kind of bad but it's true but we're not getting physical and it's really tough though not to I guess when other people and everyone is kind of against you and this is going to have to change and there might not be a quick fix and he says this one has to be fixed they can't fall into the wrong hands and Max would be the wrong hands and we know about it and it's true we have a lot of information and this guy's going to be big too big way too big it says it can go get Prilosec it's not a big deal he's over 9 foot and probably slow it down a little bit they said to halt at 9:00 and not to get the 10 but they did say that and he remembers so it's going to work and we're going to try and get together we're also doing the 883 he says it's an older motor and people who want the new one when they figure it out and putting it in the big bikes and we're taking the big motorcycle and the women are getting mad and they want a new motor and they're frantically looking around and they found these lawn mower motors and they're putting in the 45 and it has a lot of horsepower and torque and it does the job and it moves the bike and it goes fast speeds like 150 but it used to be like 170 it's a different world and spiders and runs funny some put the 100 in and it drives smoother and is faster it goes about 180 it's louder than hell so they have to muffle it a little which is not bad but it is really nice and powerful but still it runs kind of weird and it gets hot pretty quick even with a jacket and I kind of quits and he says the lawn mower engine and brings and Stratton motorcycle engines are past the limit and we can't accept any more orders and it sent out tons and they work great and they're about 700 CC and they're powerful 45 horsepower and 55 foot pounds of torque it'll move this the Sportster very fast and far so the woman will probably start harping on us for it they're already hopping on Harley for it and it might work

Trump

We thought about piggybacking but we have to let it go for a while on the 883 new motor that they build even if it's the same exact specs there's going to be about 100 lb lighter than the old 83 and a little bit more powerful. It'll be about 55 horsepower and 65 foot pounds of torque which is very powerful for that size motor is good it's more powerful than the Asian motors and it'll work out because the guys want that motor in production and eventually hopefully soon it'll come together this hasn't been an amazing night and I knew it was coming and I helped introduce it and I'm very psyched we have eternals and infinites and we have our own Galactus and Galactica we have some other ones that people are talking about they are huge and they don't come up through the city believe it or not to go down below and he was right to say that cuz they were saying nothing but it's time and he's right it is time and it's time now and we know it is these Max are out of control and need to be controlled and they're going to work on it eventually they shrink down but it takes time but they have a lot of work to do and it's only going to be part of the force and we need huge armies and we really go in separately but they'll see we're fighting on the same side the same thing happened with a fight against the clones and they saw it and we're moving out to get this done

oh oh :0 you should do yandere slasher 😋 if you ever get the time

・✶ ｡ﾟYANDERE SLASHER ;

★ note: abrupt asf ending,, don't even know what I wrote

content warnings: stalking, murder, sadism, hybristophilia, choking, knife + fear play, implied reader's death at the end.

yandere slasher! who has become a notorious figure, grabbing headlines in the newspapers and dominating daily news channels discussions. with a disturbing regularity, victims are reported to the police every week, all falling prey to a similar modus operandi to the point where the city is gripped by a sense of fear and curiosity as his identity and motives remain a perplexing enigma, the only things that could make him be recognized before further disaster being his stealthy, masked and darkly dressed form and the unsettling voice calls he makes previously to the attacks.

yandere slasher! who, between all the terror and dread the media and civilians were spreading, has somehow also been growing his own "fan club" of brainless darlings who talk about him with loving hearts glistening in their eyes. hundreds of delusional and lustful posts are published every day, there are also accounts foolishly dedicated to him that already count with a considerable number of followers who easily make him step into trending topic at the end of the week, but between them all, there's only one little dove that manages to catch his attention every time — you.

yandere slasher! who, of course, felt curious and attracted by the idea of there being someone as naive and innocent as you rambling cutely about him in the middle of other filthy, corrupted minds thirsting over his atrocious actions – almost dreamily sighing at the idea of his probably strong hand wrapped around your neck, or how cold would the sharp tip of his blade feel while caressing your skin after ripping frivolously the covering clothes.

yandere slasher! who, after doing a bit of... totally legal research, has arrived to the point he is now: routinely walking through the night streets until finding you. he had already seen you before; sometimes you would be walking around with your friends, and a couple of days after they would appear in the news dead; other times you would be minding your own business at home, suddenly feeling a pair of eyes watching you from afar. today, though? today you were just getting ready to go to sleep when your phone started ringing, an incoming voice call from an unknown number being seen on the screen.

yandere slasher! who's hoarse, low voice crackles through the phone's speakers, its sickeningly sweet tone sending shivers down your spine as he playfully asks and mocks your special taste for bad, cruel men; all while watching your reaction and slowly sneaking inside the apartment. "so– what's your favorite scary movie, love?"

yandere slasher! who takes pride in the way your soft breath hitches a second later, his heartbeat quickening while feeling a rush of adrenaline for what's to come going through his veins as he hears your giggles through the other end, silent steps creeping closer to your unaware and vulnerable form in the hallway until his presence becomes noticeable behind you, ready to strike.

yandere slasher! who thinks he has just fallen in love with the way your surprised but still adoring expression turns into a fearful one as his embracing arms become caging, the stroking hands on your skin now brush your flesh with a steely dagger, and his falsely affectionate gaze burns in your memory as a heartless, amused stare that probably won't hesitate to take your life the same way he did with so many other souls prior.

"don't think too much and let just go for me, baby... maybe we will also have our own movie someday, mh?"
