Hero, Villain God 64
(Prev) (Next) (First)
*Pearl's pov*
You are going to murder Grian for this. What was he thinking?!? What IS he thinking?? You wish you could see into his brain but you doubt you would find anything there- breathe in, breathe out, you are getting too worked up over this.... Yeah, no, breathing isn't helping.
...You would vent to your roomates but Cleo is gone on one of their sudden trips and Scott is too busy fighting with Joel by chat to actually listen to anythy you say...which is a different problem Grian has caused by being an idiot. No, that's not fair, that specific thing is not completely Grian's fault, just 50 percent his fault for putting Joel in the chat.
Thats brings you to issue number two, the fact that Joel is a god too. Which is also not nevessarily Grian's fault but it's still going to be a problem anyway... It scares you, not Joel himself but the fact that you didn't notice he had been here for so long... You wonder about what would have happened had it been the blood god instead.
So all of that is certainly a lot and It's really getting to you, that's why you are here, taking a stroll trough the botanical garden of the city's museum in order to calm yourself down. Scarlet Pearl has been getting very strong lately and you want to avoid her taking control when the situation is so delicate, unfortunately even walking through the flowers and leaves isn't calming you down as much as you would like to, seeing the sorry state of the plants here is actually making it worse- You crash face first into the back of a woman, you grab her arm before she can hit the ground but it ends up being a close call... The same though cannot be said about the large fish tank she had in her hands which keeps falling and then shatters onto the floor with a splash of water.
You manage to shut down the scarlet whispers somewhat before offering your apologies.
"Oh I'm so sorry mate. I must have been too deep in my thoughts."
The woman groans loudly, her pants are drenched in water.
"Are you kidding me!?... sigh, that's going to be an extra trip back and forth..."
She seems frustrated, you look better at the ground, between the glass shards and the water puddles are what look to be-
"Pickles?"
She looks at you- no, she glares daggers at you.
"Sea pickles, I was supposed to carry them to a bigger tank but that's not happening any time soon... At least it wasn't the coral."
"Why are you even delivering sea pickles to a garden? They aren't going in the pond are they? That's already full enough. Also sea pickles live in salt water."
She just stares at you, the glare shifting from something offensive to something defensive.
"Do you normally start interrogating people after crashing into them? Geez."
She takes out a bag from her backpack and starts picking up the glass pieces from the path.
"And It's not for the garden, It's for the new acquarium."
You kneel and start helping her with cleaning up.
"Here, let me help mate. Say, what's this about an acquarium? Never heard of anything like that."
It's not completely true but you are a bit out of the loop, you haven't really been involved lately... Too busy dealing with Grian- no, no thinking about him or you are going to start getting angry again.
"Right, It's still hasn't been like properly announced yet has it? Uh..."
You motion for her to continue.
"Go on"
She shrugs before responding.
"You know top five superhero Tay? She funded a new acquarium for the city with association money, I was just bringing the sea pickles for it, not exactly a rarity but it was more for decoration anyway."
The way this woman talks about Tay...hmmm, something about it just feels familiar, like when Scar talks about Hotguy. You have a theory to confirm... you use a bit of your powers and- Yeah, your intuition was correct after all, this woman *is* Tay herself... Huh, shorter then you expected.
You wonder why she's the one working on the project she apparently paid for, you are all for work ethic but this feels suspicious.
"Oh, is it being built near the garden then?"
She points to the side.
"Yeah, It's behind that big fence over there so it makes sense you haven't seen the building yet."
"Say, do you need help mate? With getting another batch of pickles?"
"Are you offering?"
"I feel bad about making you drop these ones"
"Hmm...all right follow me you... strange lady."
"It's Pearl."
"... just call me Gem"

Okay, so the idea was what if the BitterSweet Trio were friends as kids.
Because I have an all-consuming need to make things more complicated, my brain decided to come up with an entire alternate storyline to BitterSweet, where the roles are kind of reversed, and then build a childhood friends/rivals, to pining ot3, to lovers plotline...
This is the first part of it.
CW: mentioned domestic abuse, mentioned drastic personality change of romantic partner, mentioned (implied) mental illness requiring medication, cursing
Notes:
Background written up in a post here, but short version is:
SB was best friends with Seth and Frenemies with Alphonse when they were growing up.
SB was forced to leave without saying goodbye to Seth or Alphonse and remained separated from the two until sometime (less than a year) after Al's parents died, when they ran into Seth.
Shit with Derek didn't happen in this universe.
Seth and Al never worked for the gang in this universe and are still together after Al takes over the shop. (They still had some dealings with the gang and did meet Charlie through those.)
SB has an emotional support cat named Shade who is absolutely best boy and very smart.
While SB, Shade, and SB's partner are my brain children everyone else is from YuuriVoice's BitterSweet series. So all rights are his.
No beta we die like Derek did before he had a chance to fuck up the boys' lives in this universe.
End notes.
āHello, this is the Corner Store.ā
It's strange to hear a voice on the other end that sounds so much like Al's dad, but also clearly isn't. It sounds nothing like the boy they knew as a kid, butā¦
āAlphonse?ā SB asked hesitantly, not certain they had even remembered the number correctly.Ā
āSpeaking,ā he responded, and SB was relieved for a moment, until he asked, āwho ās this?āĀ
āIā¦ā SB suddenly realized they had no clue why they actually called the shop. What were they even hoping anyone could do for them? This whole mess had nothing to do with Al or Seth or anyone else, but at the same time SB couldnāt bring themself to just hang up. They searched for words, āIā¦. Iām sorryā¦ I donāt,ā SB was cut off by their own sob before they even realized they were crying. Shade rubbed against their foot trying to soothe his person. āIā¦ he broke my phoneā¦ I ā¦ I donāt know any other numbers,ā they tried to explain.Ā
āOkay, hey, itās okay,ā Alphonse spoke gently, ājust take it slow, take a breath.āĀ
SB tried, but only managed a cough that made their cat urgently nudge their legs.Ā
āSlow breaths. In ā¦. Holdā¦. Outā¦ with me okay.āĀ Al talked them through enough breaths to ease their panic a little. They also crouched to pet Shade which helped.
āThatās it, can you tell me your name?ā he asked more hesitantly this time.Ā
With their breath mostly back they couldnāt really control the torrent of words they let out. āFuck. Iām sorry, I call you out of nowhere and Iām just crying like an idiot, standing in an old phone booth that smells like weed and piss, with my cat atā¦ I donāt even know what time it is, and the only person I can even call is my childhood best friendās boyfriend, ācause I never bothered to memorize anyoneās phone number and even if I did Iā¦ā
Alphonse cut them off. āBoo?ā It had been years since they had been called that. You play the ghost dude a few times in Mario Kartā¦ but they had to admit, right now, they welcomed the familiar nickname.
āIā¦ yeahā¦ itās me. You can hang up if you want. Iā¦ fuck I donāt even know why I called to begin with. I mean even if Seth was there or something, what would either of you even do? I should have just waited till he calmed down, or, or left or something.ā SB continued to ramble until Al cut in again.Ā
āWoah,Ā hey, Boo!ā he called for their attention. āHey, itās okay, Iām not gonna hang up on ya, justā¦ what the hell is goinā on? āCause what Iām hearing is that youāre hiding out from somebody in a phone booth with your cat.āĀ
āIā¦ wellā¦ kind of, yeah. Iām not really hiding, I just,ā they attempted to clarify but trailed off knowing it would sound bad. āHow did it get to be such a mess?ā they ask themself. They were still processing the last half hour or so in their head. Their partner had been off for weeks, his brother was fairly sure he stopped taking his medication, and when SB tried to ask him about it he would just insist they drop it.Ā
āCan you tell me what happened?āĀ
āIā¦ I went a few blocks and this is like one of those phone boxes with a door, I figured I could put shade down without worrying about him running away or something. I had some change in my pocket but I couldnāt remember any phone numbersā¦ā
āI mean, before that. Why are you in a phone booth with your cat? Are you hurt? Is someone trying to hurt you?āĀ
They took a few more breaths, They didnāt want to explain it all to Al, Seth had talked about how much Al had grown up since they were kids, so they didnāt really think that he would be an asshole about it, but they knew if it had to do with them, Al would tell Seth. Seth who, ever since elementary school, looked out for them as if they were family, who may well assume the worst case scenario, considering his own experiences. āIām not hurtā¦ or, well, not reallyā¦ā They absently rubbed their arm. My partnerā¦ he isn't like this. He stopped taking his meds, and then, tonight, he saw that I was texting Seth and somehow he thought that meant I was cheating on him, even though I told him about Seth before, and even that you two were together.āĀ
āDid he try to hurt you?āĀ
āHeā¦ I donāt think he meant to, but Iāve never seen them like that before. There was yelling, and he threw my phone down. Then he grabbed my arm and I panicked, Shade scratched his leg and, before he could do anything else, I grabbed Shade and locked myself in the bathroom. Iā¦ I donāt do well when I feel trapped though, so I climbed out of the window and made it a couple blocks before I even stopped to thinkā¦ I donāt even know if he realizes I left.āĀ
āFuck, okay, look Iāllā¦ shit itāll take me at least half an hour to get there.āĀ
āWhat? No you donāt have to do anything I justā¦āĀ
āEven if you hung up right now Iād be heading into the city to look for ya, you shouldn't have to be alone after something like that.ā he must have sensed they were about to argue, so he added, āAnd letās not even mention what Seth would do if I told him and didnāt already have a plan for getting you out of there safely. He'd probably rather go get you himself, but I canāt imagine that cat of yours would enjoy riding a motorcycle.āĀ
āLook I appreciate it, but it really isnāt that big of a deal.āĀ
āWell if it isnāt a big deal Iāll just drive over there and check on you. Or,ā Alās tone wavered a little, āI mean, if this is about me beingā¦ wellā¦ me, I can get Seth toā¦ā
āNo!ā SB cut him off. āI mean, it isnāt that. I donāt mind you. I justā¦āĀ
āGreat, is there anywhere nearby where you could hang out for half an hour? Somewhere that maybe doesnāt smell like piss and weed? A public place, a coffee shop, or restaurant?āĀ
āIā¦ I doubt it, and even then I have Shade, and I donāt have his harness or carrier or anything.āĀ
āRight, okay, where are you?Ā
āIā¦ Iām near the corner of 8th and Kennedy drive.āĀ
āOkay, listen, I got aā¦ well, I know a guy. Pretty sure he still lives around there and heā¦ heās kinda a rat bastard to be honest, but heās harmless and scared shitless of me nā Seth. He owes us a few favors too so, if youāre okay with it, I could call him to meet up with you. I donāt like the idea of you sitting alone for so long, and I can ask him to find something to keep your cat from running off so you aren't stuck in a phone booth.āĀ
The last part was the most enticing. It really did smell and SB didn't do great with really strong smells. āYeah, okay. I mean you really donātā¦.āĀ
āI want to help. Hell, even if I didnāt owe you for all the dumb-ass shit I did when we were in school, youāre Sethās best friend, and I know you deserve a lot better than all this. Now I'm gonna call my guy and let Seth know whatās up. Iāll be there in a little over half an hour. If that āpartnerā of yours shows up you call the fucking cops on his ass or something. You hear me?āĀ
āIā¦ Yeah. Thank you, Alphonse.āĀ
āNo problem Boo. Iāll see ya soon alright?āĀ
āYeah. Iāll see you soon.āĀ
ā

Hey, do any of you people remember that one tf2 comic where soldier is talking to a bunch of wooden cutouts thinking theyāre real people? You know how it was supposed to be a joke about how insane Soldier is, unable to differentiate the inanimate from the alive? Am I the only one who lost my mind about the implications of that or am I going just as insane as him.




You can see how lazy I got near the end but I couldnāt be bothered to work on this anymore

Okay 3 things
1. I was thinking about an aroace Sonic who says things that can be taken as wildly flirty/romantic but he just means them genuinely. āYou have beautiful eyes, I keep getting distracted while looking at them,ā not cause heās interested romantically in them but because eyes can be really cool and pretty man I dunno what to tell you he likes looking at cool things and he thinks his friends are neat. āYouāre the most beautiful person here,ā because he really thinks that, he loves his friends
2. Sonic randomly dropping heartfelt genuine comments on his friends out of the blue completely blindsiding them and then moves on like nothing happened while theyāre left going ?????? Bonus points if he does something immensely stupid or jerkish just before or immediately afterwards and they canāt tell if he was serious or not with the compliment (yes he was)
3. Sonic usually being so allergic to truly vulnerable moments that when he expresses something heartfelt randomly Tails thinks heās been stabbed or something and does not believe him when he reassures him that heās fine heās fine heās not dying yeesh
#KNOX ART (me)#Sonic the Hedgehog#Aroace Sonic#Rouge the Bat#miles tails prower#amy rose#knuckles the echidna#Shadow the Hedgehog#how to explain the fact that I think Amy crushing on aroace sonic is lovely. I love you but not like that and you liking me doesnāt make me#uncomfortable so you can keep doing it its okay i wonātā ask you to get over it quickly no ones as fast as me#dysfunctional in the sense of Sonic says stuff like that without meaning it in that way and it feeds into Amyās crush even though she knows#heās not going to return her feelings#ALSO I DREW ROUGE!! SHEāS LOVELY!! OUGH!! I LOVE DRAWING WOMEN!!!!!#sonic dropping the fact that he views shadow in a very positive light after theyāve been at each others throats arguing for thirty minutes#multi-ship but make it mostly one-sided who isnātā a little bit in love with sonic romantically or platonically or anything else in between#look at him#then he scarfs down a chili dog and no one can take him seriously#drives them all absolutely insane with his nonsense#imagine hearing this dude say something genuinely heartfelt and for a second it flips your perspective of him#and then heās telling you your eyeliner is crooked or pointing and laughing at you cause you stumbled or doing a handstand and bragging#about it and nope heās exactly the same except IS HE?#hyper-competent sonic that leaves everyone wary of him#heartfelt sonic that makes so no one can ever quite hate him#jerk sonic so that no one can ever quite worry for him#Iām mentally ill over the hedgehog can you tell CAN YOU TELL????#HAPPY AROMANTIC AWARENESS WEEK IG THIS IS NICELY TIMED HGLKJSDLFAKS;LDJ#are we getting into ooc territory? I honestly couldnāt begin to tell you Iāve seen 3 clips of of rouge and Amy between the two of them HGLK#i forgot i wanted to do one of sonic asking shadow ācan i hold your hand nowā and shadow looking at him like heās insane

Let's be crystal clear. Queerbaiting is real. But it occurs when the creators intentionally hint at a queer relationship to lure in a queer audience to give them money, but never actually follow through on their heavy-handed implications of a queer relationship. Queerbaiting does not occur when the creator has been transparent from the very beginning that Malevolent is about friendship and platonic love, meant to work through the toxic masculinity they've lived throughout their entire life, and to express healthy platonic love (and sometimes unhealthy love) between two male-presenting characters. It is not queerbaiting when they emphatically tell each other that they love each other, because love isn't exclusively romantic, and while it is absolutely okay for people to ship them (and something that the creator is totally FINE with, btw), it is not okay to accuse the creator of lying about their relationship when he's been clear about it from the very beginning.
Friendship and platonic love is just as meaningful as romantic love and that's the whole point of Malevolent.
#i'm hearing that there was another queerbaiting accusation floating around but i personally haven't seen it#but i've seen other folks mention it#and i want to make my stance crystal clear on this matter#and also as an ace person i find it very insulting that people would reduce the importance of platonic love#and suggest that platonic love is lesser than romantic love#because it's not#and also fuck you#ugh sorry i just felt upset when i saw rumors of this accusation#because it feels like their wish of their ship becoming canon completely overshadows the importance of platonic love#malevolent#spiteful musings#heavy on the spite today#okay now i'm gonna take a shower bye

thereās a right and a wrong way to hold hands. you know this, because whenever katsuki extends his hand and you cup his in return, he frowns and releases tiny explosions from his palmānot big or intense enough to hurt you, just enough to tickleāuntil youāre giggling and readjusting your hands so that your fingers are laced together. he huffs to himself and then keeps walking, ignoring the way you tease him about being a romantic, much too focused on the feeling of your thumb is rubbing against the back of his hand, instead.
#heās soooo picky about little things like that#how you hold hands which side of the sidewalk heās on which seat he takes at a restaurant#itās not even a platonic vs romantic position (tho i think if youāre f2l that distinction and pride is part of it)#itās more so just like. he makes you His Responsibility to hold right and care for right and protect right#and this is how he knows to do that so. it must be done this way#LOVERBOYYYYYYYYY#(he is extra grumpy about it if youāre f2l and now started dating. like he does the silent signals and stuff to switch when ur on the wrong#side or sitting in the wrong seat#but he also vocalizes it with a scoff like ām not ur friend anymore hold my hand rightā)#katsuki bakugo x reader#bakugou x reader#katsuki x reader#bnha x reader#bnha smau#bnha texts#mha smau#mha x reader#š
