preview ↳ you angrily picked up your phone for the third time in two hours, draping the towel over your shoulder as you sat down on the sofa. “ this is the third fucking time you called my damn phone, “ you shouted, pausing some cheesy horror movie that you forgot was on while taking a quick shower, “ take a hike you fuckin’ bum! don’t ask me about what my damn favorite scary movie is because i don’t have one! the last one was somehow less annoying than you are! “

there’s a small pause from the other side along with consistent, wet noises of skin slapping against skin. “ . . .fuck, “ the husky voice lets out a strained groan and laughs breathily, “ keep talking, i’m almost finished. mm, you sound so fucking hot when you’re upset, doll face.”

hurt flash in her teal eyes before she sighs heavily. “ do we seriously have to keep coming back to that? i understand that you’re upset but you’ll get use to this, to me soon enough. i know that i haven’t been here lately and i’m sorry. i’ll do my best to come home to you as early as i can. here, “ she says apologetically, handing you a napkin across the table with the pointed end of her tail, “ please, sit down, wipe your tears, and eat your food, my dear. unless, you prefer for me to do all of them for you? “ there’s something dark lurking behind her voice as it lowers an octave. a shiver runs down your spine at the hooded look in her narrowed eyes.

preview ↳ robin straddles your lap, her darkened emerald eyes pools into yours, lulling you deeper into a trance-like state. your body feels relaxed and heavy, bones softening like malleable metal. the halovian woman lean close to you with a sickeningly sweet smile on her pale features as she brings the bitten apple to your bruised lips. there’s voices—hushed whispers ringing in your head, commanding you to take a bite of the apple. you don’t fight them back, you can’t. lust, euphoria and her hypnotic tune clouds your judgement.

you bite into the apple and sink further into the abyss, along with the shell of a woman who used to be great.

It isn't a competition...

Pairing: Rafayel x GN!reader (suggested that reader is shorter than him) Genre: Fluff CW: N/A WC: 389

Day 9 of To Halloween with Love Event

A/N: My LNDS men are getting the attention they deserve from me with this event lol, definitely taking on something like this again.

"I need a new one..."

"You do not need a new one, Rafayel." You prance your way around the table encircling Raf's waist with your arms and peering over his shoulder to look at what was to be his "next masterpiece", aka the pumpkin that he picked out.

"I messed up! Look!" He furiously gestured towards the gourd, which looked plain and empty, aside from having its insides scooped out and the tiniest amount of micro-sized punctures from Raf's original stencil.

"You've barely touched it..."

"AND IT'S RUINED ALREADY!" The dramatics of this man ran miles above and beyond anything any of his fans could dream of. "I should die..."

"Oh my gosh! If it bothers you so much then why don't you use the other side?" You leave him cold as you grab the pumpkin, twisting it towards the plain side that he's left untouched.

"I ever tell you how much of a genius you are?"

"Literally never-"

"Such lies coming from you today, honey!" He takes this as his time to wrap you into his arms this time. "Wait- Let me see your progress!" He rushes to the other side of the table where you made shop with your own pumpkin and carving supplies.

"I'm really happy with mine so fa-"

"Pfft-" And the audacity of this man astounds you as he postures a judgemental stance and rubs at his chin viewing you pumpkin. "Well, it's definitely a pumpkin..."

"Hey! It's not like we're competing or anything..." You go over and meet him, eyeing your own work with a skeptical eye now.

"Of course not, but if we were I don't think you would place." And you gasp and punch his shoulder with a bit more force than you probably should.

"You know what? I think you should get another pumpkin- In fact, I think you're so bad at carving that you should probably just stop here."

"Let's not be hasty-"

"Let's not be hasty~" You mock his words.

"Well, y/n. All I can say is yours looks dumb and may the best person win." With a hmph from both of you, you return to your little stations and get to work creating the most perfect pumpkin sculptures to ever exist.

Because there is no way either of you is letting the other off easy today...

A/N: Originally I was going to do a Choso Kamo pumpkin fic but I liked the idea of being competitive with a sassy man, what can I say?

Please Reblog and Comment (They act as power-ups for me)

DNI if under 18. Suggestive theme. Mentions of threesome. Cursing. Not my characters. Random thought I've been kicking around in my head for days.

Imagining Bakugo & Kirishima as neighbors down the hall of apt building. Knowing they own a gym and are both personal trainers.

Sure, they're hot AF, and you are average and fine with that. No way you're going further than polite greetings and smiles when passing them in the hall or elevator.

But then it happens. You didn't notice Bakugo as you got on the elevator with your best friend. In your defense, he wore a black ball cap pulled low over his face and an over size black hoodie hiding his bulked out form.

Had you known it was him the following conversation never would've happened.

"Come on. You know my weird turn-ons."

"Stop it," you laugh.

"Come on."

"Ugh, fine. Lefties, backwards baseball cap & watches."

"Okay, explain that freaky shit," your bestie looks over at you judgemental.

"I can't. I just find those things absolutely sexy okay? Can we finish this in my apt?"

You don't know who is in the elevator with you, but you feel uncomfortable continuing this convo.

"Oh man, I hope we see your neighbors. How have you not flirted with either of them? I'd love to be in the middle of those two..."

You elbow your best friend embarrassed by her loud mouth and shameless behavior.

"Please, stop. I'm sorry for her. I hope we didn't make you uncomfortable."

You apologize to the figure behind you. Head down still scrolling on his phone.

"No."

You breathe a sigh of relief and notice you only have one more floor before you get off the elevator.

"Don't act like you don't wanna be sandwiched between them..."

The doors opened with a ding, and you dragged your best friend off the elevator and straight into your apt, not looking back once.

Ever since that day, anytime you see the two trainers, they have their ball caps on backwards.

It doesn't make you suspicious, but it makes your legs jello.

Your suspicion is raised when two weeks later, you see both of them sporting watches. The sports kind that record all their workout progress. Bakugo, the blond one had always worn one, but Kirishima never had. More suspicious was the smirk they both wore as they nodded to you before you rushed into your apt.

Then, a knock on your door three weeks after the elevator conversation confirmed everything.

Opening the door, your heart jumped to your throat. Leaning against the frame, Bakugo backwards cap smirking. Beside him standing straight, slightly nervous, Kirishima.

"Uh, hi. Something you need?" You ask trying to sound calm.

"'Bout to make a sandwich. Wanna be the middle?" Bakugo smirked arrogantly.

"Man! You can't say it like that!"

Yep, one of them had heard your elevator conversation. What're you gonna do now?

**I know how corny the sandwich line is for Bakugo, but I just don't see him ever being suave. No matter how confident he is, I see him using horrible/corny pick-up lines or flirting. Sorry if it doesn't fit.**

[nkn0va]

Helltaker request: Modeus, Azazel, Justice, and Pandemonica constantly stealing their S/O's hoddies even though it's a little big on them.

You know now that I think about it I do envision them as being on the shorter side

Man, I'm really skirting the line between NSFW and SFW when I write for Modeus, huh?

Modeus

-You already know, Modeus does it out of horny.

-The first time she does so, it's when you're out of the house doing something, she usually sneaks into your room. This time though her eyes seemed to drift over to your closet, and she got an idea.

-She opened the door, scanning for what she wanted in particular before she found a hoodie of yours, and immediately pulled if off the hanger before she could even think.

-Putting it on, she starts to get turned on just by the smell and feel of it, reminding her of you. Just in less wholesome ways than what is traditionally expected.

-She doesn't really give a shit or think about being subtle about it, you eventually find out what she's been doing by the...distinctive smell on your hoodies you soon pick up on.

-Whether you decide to enable or attempt to stop this behavior is up to you, but regardless, she will be coming up with new ways to get her hands on your hoodies. What the power of horny does to a person...

Azazel

-The complete fucking opposite of Modeus lmao.

-Spending her entire life up until she met you in Heaven, she's not used to the uncontrolled conditions of Earth, the realm of God having perfect, warm weather all the time. She gets cold extremely easily.

-It was currently the middle of December so winter was in full swing. Her normal coats weren't cutting it anymore now that the snow had decided to do a bit of trolling and break the heating system in the house.

-She really, really didn't want to take anything from you without permission, but at this rate she didn't have a choice if she didn't want to get sick, so she very reluctantly took a hoodie from your closet.

-You were larger than her by a fair bit, leading to the hoodie being one or two sizes too big. This does work out in warming her up though, to the point she loses track of time.

-You come home only to find the angel snuggled up in your hoodie, causing her to freeze up before apologizing very profusely, turning red as a cherry all the while. Please reassure her it's no problem and she can do it if she wants, she will love you even more for it once she can get over it.

Justice

-Out of everyone here, Justice is by far the most relax and upfront about things in general, this is no exception.

-She can't exactly see, but going through the clean laundry, she picked out a hoodie she'd never felt before, and figured it was yours. So she decided the only natural course of action was to put it on and ask how it looked.

-Does not give a fuck, will casually walk up to you and ask if it looks good on her. Spoiler: it does. She is not the awesome demon for nothing.

-You can definitely trust her more than most with your stuff, which Justice uses to wear your hoodies whenever she wants. It may be sweaty if she wears it after a workout or something but she's at least courteous enough to wash it after she's done without you needing to ask.

-You can't bring yourself to be mad at her, not when she's one of the only mentally sane demons out there.

-She does in fact rock your clothes, probably better than you do.

Pandemonica

-Due to living in Hell her whole life until coming up to Earth with you, she's used to the infernal, burning environment, a bit too much. When winter or cold weather in general strikes, she falls apart, she was never one for the frontlines like Justice or Judgement.

Whenever she has to work one of these days, she'll announce that she's borrowing a hoodie from your closet before she retreats to her room to continue working.

-It's easy to sympathize with the tired demon, knowing that denizens of Hell were not accustomed to cold temperatures. It was only right of you to help her be as comfortable as possible while she's in your home.

-Speaking of such, bring her some coffee and put an air humidifier in her room while she's working, she will appreciate that more than she can put into words. Keeps her from getting sick while you're at it, which she cannot afford from how hard being a receptionist of Hell pushes her.

-(And it also helps lower your chances of getting your fingers broken when she's no longer tired which is definitely a plus.)

Library- @hannibals-favourite-meal-library

It was lonely in those chambers she was confined to. The black and deep red decorations made her feel out of place dressed in a sheer white nighty, a silver collar hanging from her neck, reflecting the dim light of the stars they passed. The bedroom she was trapped in always seemed cold, especially with the thick metal chain keeping her tied to the bed, constantly touching the naked skin of her back and arms.

She had no doubt it was one of the more beautiful places on the ship but she still detested being alone here. It was always far too quiet and against her better judgement, she was craving her master’s presence. In her mind, he was so large that he took up most of the space, drowning out the darkness of isolation with the light of his haunting yellow eyes.

Sighing, she lay back against the bed and fished the holopad he had given her out from under her pillow. It was highly censored and monitored but she could read and watch small nature documentaries, so she didn’t complain. It had been days since she had last seen the sith, according to the stormtrooper who brought her meals every third day, something big was brewing. There were rumours that a Jedi had been captured by the First Order.

If that was true, then Kylo would be away for a lot longer than just a couple days and she would have to get used to being alone. 

Just as she settled into yet another documentary about Hoth, the lights in the room went red as a siren blared. The ground rumbled beneath her and the stars shifted. Y/N grabbed at her chain and braced herself as the gravity around her shifted and she was thrown back against the headboard. 

She winced as the cold chain pushed into her spine. It was a few seconds before her body adjusted and she was able to sit up properly again. It wasn’t right, this Star Destroyer shouldn’t be in hyperspace unless an attack had occurred. 

Y/N slipped from the bed, getting a better angle on the window. The chain pulled tight as she stretched, waiting for the ship to stop. Soon enough, they did stop and dread filled her veins.

Debris floated past the window, huge chunks of it. Whatever had been destroyed had been much larger than any Star Destroyer she had ever seen and may well have been larger than the Death Star if the stories she had been told in her youth were true. There were bodies as well, stormtroopers and admirals alike, all being given to the vast expanse of space.

Her eyes squeezed shut and she turned away, unwilling to look at the carnage anymore. Alarms still blared overhead, signalling that they were still at battle stations, TIE fighters and Star Cruisers streak by but then suddenly, everything stops.

The alarms shut off but the lights remain a terrifying red. Y/N’s breathing began to pick up, something was wrong. Fear settled into her bones, causing her skin to erupt with goosebumps. Thundering footsteps came from just outside the door. She snapped her head forward, curling her body into itself, shrinking down into the sheets as if it would provide ample protection.

The doors slammed open, revealing Kylo. He had no mask on, his clothes were damp and most shockingly, a scar. It ran from the side of his neck all the way across his face, ending just beneath his eye. It was huge and red with infection, just barely being held together by a mesh-like bandage beneath his pale skin.

“On your hands and knees.” He barked but she didn’t move, still too shaken to comprehend what was happening. “Now!” She yelped as the room exploded with power and turned over onto her front. Her arms shook as she braced herself against the silk sheets.

There was no preparation, no warning, only the lifting her dress over her back and his gloved hands clamping down on her hips and then he was inside of her. Pain radiated through her body. He felt far too big like this, like his cock was ripping her in half. Kylo grunted and began to move. His thrusts quickly became violent, the air around them heating with his rage.

Y/N buried her face in the pillow, muffling her sobs as best she could, even sneaking a hand between her legs to her small bundle of nerves to lessen the blow. Instead she received a growl from the sith as one hand grabbed the back of her neck and pinned her to the bed. “Fucking rebel! Ruined everything!” His hips slammed harshly into her ass. He had no steady rhythm, he was not searching for a release, he was just fucking out his frustration.

“I will find her.” He snarled and for some reason, the thought that he was using her as a punching bag in place of another woman, that caused Y/N to snap.

“Stop!” She cried, thrashing as hard as she could below him but it did nothing more than make him even angrier. 

“Stop disobeying me!” There was a whoosh of air and then all she could feel was pain. The scream she let out immediately pulled him from the haze of rage that had settled over his mind. He flinched as he finally saw what he had done.

There was blood everywhere, rolling from several large gashes across her back, staining her untainted skin. He could hear her crying and see where she had ripped the sheets with her fingernails, how bruised he had left her. But most of all, he could feel the betrayal and the sadness rolling off of her in huge waves. He had done this, he had hurt her because he was so blinded by his own failures, he had used the force to hurt her.

Kylo said nothing as he pulled out of her and turned away, unwilling to see the consequences of his actions. Her sobs rang in his ears as he ran.

Y/N lay alone, her tears long-since dried but the pain was still just as raw as it was hours ago. This, this was what she should have expected. Kylo Ren was still just a man, a man who had bought her so she could be his toy. That’s what hurt most, not the slashes across her back but the fact that she had so easily fallen into the delusion that he had actually cared for her.

She felt like a stupid child.

She watched as debris floated by, slowly lessening as the hours wore on. She could not even gather the strength to pull her dress back down over her naked body, nor move from the now rough sheets. She just watched as the universe passed her by.

Darkness was beginning to grow at the edge of her vision when voices floated through the empty halls. She attempted to sit up but her back screamed when she moved even slightly so she just turned her head to watch the doors, half-expecting and half-dreading that it would be her master who opened them.

But instead she was treated with a small group of people, not dressed like anyone in the First Order. “That’s her.” One whispered to another before a shorter one in the group retorted- “We need to move now, before he comes back.”

Her eyes went wide with panic as two of them moved forward towards her. She tried to lift herself from the bed to run but her injuries were too great and she remained paralysed, only able to watch as they came closer. “If you kill me, he’ll hunt you down.” She hissed, desperately trying to believe her own lie.

“That’s what we’re counting on.” One of them spoke and before she could scream, a needle was jammed into her neck and unconsciousness consumed her.

@the-queen-of-sorrows

[traintrainingmontage]

Crackship writing exercise from the discord today. An Edward & Diesel 10 (or pre-slash Edward/Diesel 10) fic for @ikoarts and @shikariiin !!

When Diesel 10 first arrived on the railway, the experience was about what he'd expected. The whispers had begun following him like gnats, buzzing about Pinchy, his size, his paintwork, and, of course, his resting bitch face. The steam engines especially looked at him like he was some particularly disgusting bug that had crawled onto their line, their gazes judgemental even as their fear prevented them from being loud about it.

Diesel 10 had expected a warmer reception from the diesels, but oddly enough, they appeared to be a mixed bag. Some of them seemed friendly, but several of them seemed to genuinely fear his presence. Others simply avoided him, as if not wanting to associate. It was something of a lonely first day, to be sure, but Diesel 10 didn't care. He wasn't here to make friends. He never had been. He was here to do jobs nobody else could do, and if they didn't want to be around him, so be--

His train of thought was derailed by a friendly "peep peep" coming in his direction--the whistle of a steam engine. Surprised, Diesel 10 looked up to see what looked like an honest-to-awfulness K2 making their way towards him, a smile on their face.

"What do you want?" Diesel 10 growled, brandishing Pinchy threateningly. He didn't believe in the kindness of that smile for a second; if this engine was here to pick a fight, that was fine by him. Maybe it would help him get rid of some stress.

"Hello!" the other engine greeted warmly, once again catching Diesel 10 completely by surprise. "That's a rather remarkable claw you have there. My name is Edward, and I'm here to formally welcome you to Sodor. Might I know your name?"

Diesel 10 blinked, utterly at a loss. This way-outdated steam engine didn't seem intimidated by Pinchy; if anything, he looked rather impressed. And his expression didn't hold any of the judgement that the others had, diesel or otherwise--as far as Diesel 10 could tell, he was just trying to give a genuine greeting. The diesel was so dumbfounded by this whole exchange that instead of a retort like "piss off" or anything else he'd felt like saying to all those judgey steam engines, he instead found himself replying with: "Uh, the name's Diesel 10. And my claw here is Pinchy."

"Diesel 10 and Pinchy, is it?" There was a beat of silence, and the diesel wanted to brace himself for the inevitable teasing, but there was none to be had. Edward's grin seemed to shine even brighter, somehow. "Wonderful! Thank you very much. Oh, and I'm so sorry for the way that the others treated you on your way in. I'll have a talk with them later. But for now, please accept my sincere apologies."

At this point, Diesel 10's estimation of reality felt like it had been tilted sideways. A steamie? Actually apologizing to him? And not just in a lip-service kind of way either; the diesel could tell that Edward was being quite genuine. Once again, having lost all of his bluster, he managed to stammer out: "Oh, uh, it's fine. I'm used to this kind of thing."

Edward's expression suddenly turned stern. How strange it was to see another get angry on his behalf instead of at him. "Well, you shouldn't have to put up with it here on Sodor. Please let me know if anyone's bothering you."

Then, just as quickly as his ire had clouded his face, it vanished, leaving behind only that sunny smile. "I'll come visit you again soon, Diesel 10. You seem like a good sort, and I look forward to working with you!" With that, Edward pulled away, giving another "peep peep!" of his whistle in farewell as he left. Diesel 10 couldn't help but let out an answering honk of his horn.

Only once the steam engine was out of sight did Diesel 10 feel like he could finally think straight. Over and over again, his conversation with Edward seemed to loop around in his head, always lingering on that gorgeous smile.

"Oh, Pinchy," the towering diesel whispered. "Now I'm really not sure what to do."

Heal My Wounds

Will you..? (part 25)

Rhea Ripley x Reader

Tw: physical and sexual abuse, toxic relationship, selfharm, eating disorder

Summary: You are in a toxic relationship with an abusive man but manage to run away. A tall, black haired woman picks you up from the streets just in time so your ex doesn't get you. But who is she and why does she seem so familiar to you? As you get to know each other you start to notice weird feelings you never had before whenever she's around.

Your drinks arrive and you just can't wait any longer. "Rhea please, you know how unpatient I am" you whine.

"Ah ah, not so fast sweetheart" she teases you even more. "After we've eaten okay?" "Fine.." you grumble.

You're kinda mad because you don't like waiting but you still smile at her. God I love her so much. How can somebody be this perfect?!

"Hey love, wanna share this? It seems like they're serving pretty big portions here" Rhea says. "Yeah of course" you smile. "What about you guys?" you add.

"I think I'll go for number 56" Dominik answers "and I'll take.. This! Whatever it is but it sounds interesting" Finn states. Damian chuckles and waves for a waiter to come over.

You all order and then talk a little until your food arrives. "Yep, you were totally right with big portions" you mock Rhea, cause they were actually pretty normal sized and you needed to order another one so you both could get fed.

"Mh, this actually tastes really good. Anyone know what it is?" Finn asks you all. "Let me try" Dom says excitedly. "sure here, take this" Finn answers and you all laugh as Dom does his little happy claps.

You continue your dinner and chat and laugh throughout the entire time. That is, until Dom decides he can't hold back any longer.

"Rheaaa, when are you finally going to do iiit" he whispers to her, except the whole table could hear it. "Dom Dom!" she scolds him and shoots you a kinda angry and also apologetic look as you chuckle.

"Sorry.." Dominik mutters, although he doesn't give up just yet. "But-" "No!" Damian and Finn say simultaneously. Rhea laughs at Dom who pouts now.

"You know, I'm kinda on Dom's side, I think we waited long enough" you look at Rhea with a warm smile. "I know I- I'm just not quite ready yet.." she says and blushes slightly.

You chuckle a little "it's okay, take your time. Wanna get some dessert?" "Oh oh, yes, I want ice cream!" "Dom stop acting like a little child!" Damian laughs.

You wave a waiter over and order an ice cream for Dominik and a "family surprise" for the rest of you. "I wonder what they'll bring us. I hope it's got something to do with chocolate" Finn says.

Rhea leans over to you and whispers "can you let me out real quick? I need to go to the restroom" "yeah sure, is everything alright?" "ye, ye don't worry" she smiles reassuringly.

You get up and take a step away to make room for your girlfriend to get out of the corner. You sit back down without noticing that Rhea isn't even walking in the direction of the actual bathrooms.

You look around a bit as the boys were chatting about whether you were supposed to eat Nutella with or without butter.

You spot a camera team outside the window. Probably because the whole Judgement Day was there and they finally got to see you and Rhea together somewhere else than on the parking lot from the arena.

The restaurant also got pretty full. Lots of people were there, chatting and eating and glancing over at you every now and then.

"Hey guys" you try to get the boys attention "why is this man standing there with a mic?" "I don't know, let's see" Damian smirks. It's a little awkward but you still have no idea.

"Ladies and gentlemen, if I could please get your attention" the man with the microphone says. "I'm the owner of this place and today is a very special day!"

You see the camera team walking in, trying to get the best shots and catching everything that's being said.

"Please turn your attention to Demi Bennett, better known as Rhea Ripley!" the restaurant owner says and Rhea steps out from behind the corner. "Thank you" she leans over to the man and speaks in his mic.

She walks over to you and you just look at her confused. She smiles from ear to ear and gets down on one knee. "Y/n L/n. I've only known you for about three to four months, although you knew me for a lot longer." she says.

Slowly but surely you knew where this was going and why all the people and the media were here.

"I know, your past experiences with relationships were quite.. Njeah let's say difficult. But I want to change that and I think we've already made a great start. I can't imagine my life anymore without you in it, so.. Y/n, will you marry me?" she asks and pulls out a beautiful, really expensive looking wedding ring.

You're too overwhelmed to think" I- yes! Yes of course I wanna marry you!" you shout and jump up to hug her. Rhea laughes and let's out a sigh of relief. Everyone's applauding and congratulating you.

You both smile at each other and kiss, resulting in even more applause and cheers from the croud." I love you so much, I can't even find the right words to describe it" you smile at your now fiancee. "I love you too, more than anything in the world!" she answers and pulls you in for another kiss.

---------------------------------------------------

Part 25 and finally you get the surprise you've all been waiting for, hope you enjoyed it ;)

*chin hands at you* You. Me. Warm candlelight. A plate full of spaghetti between us. What's that? The spaghetti is actually an infodump about Raph's Philly Shell Stance? Ohohoho. Yes please. I will have seconds. We will share a string of spaghetti, by which I mean you will infodump at me and I will stare adoringly at you while your little raccoon hands throw spaghetti all over my house. The spaghetti is still Raph's Philly Shell Stance.

-justalotoffanfic

[inhales sharply] I wrote half of it as a reblog to the ask I sent last night then I got distracted reading hold on I’ll go get it. @justalotoffanfiction tagging you so you’ll know I answered

*the sounds of a raccoon pile driving through a trash bin, utter chaos*

Ok. Ok. Ok. Ok. Ok. Ok. Ok. Ok.

Raph’s got all that protective gear on his left arm in the second movie. Makes sense he’s probably right handed and when he’s fighting the left is likely the arm that he leads with.

Now we obviously can’t draw any conclusions in the first movie, because the turtle is running around with no pants on and his fighting style consists of “throwing himself shell first” though! They do lay the groundwork for him fighting defensively (shell first) and we see that alongside Donnie he can clearly come up with plans because it was his idea to take out Karai or “little miss sunshine”. Now. In the second movie. The only fight scene we see is him getting bodily picked up (btw Leo walks directly into a close line but that’s anger for another day) though he is punching Rocksteady With His Right Hand. I don’t. Um. Count Kraang fight. Let’s just say I haven’t seen past the plane scene in A While.

Now. Thinking about his weapon, the Sai. Sais? Fandom has me confused on plural on that one but it’s all ok, but anyway the Sai are a defensive weapon, and there’s that post thats been going around explaining how Splinter gave the turtles weapons that balance out their personalities, ie giving Raph the defensive weapon to teach him to control his snap judgements of stab first ask questions later (was it worded like that? No. Can I remember however? Also no.) and it’s kinda poetic that he has a weapon specifically designed to take out swords 👀. Anyway

The Philly Shell Stance. Obviously it has Shell in the name which is just. Hilarious. But! It’s a defensive stance. I’ll link a video explaining the different famous boxing stances, but the only other truly “defensive” stance is the Peekaboo, and it’s only really helpful if you’re tiny going up against someone Raph Sized.

Now the reason I think Raph uses the Philly Shell Stance, is because he has all that “armor” on his lead arm. I think he just lets the hits roll off his shoulder and bobs out of the way, keeping his hand across his stomach also gives him a pretty large range of vision to respond to threats, and if someone’s going to run at him he’s got that arm low to create some space. It’s a stance you gotta be in the moment for, and you gotta be able to think quickly, which I think Raphie boy can do despite being the “hot head” of the group. I’ll link another fight, Probably a Floyd Mayweather video, that shows a Philly Shell in action. I really wish the fight scenes in the second movie had been less cartoony, cuz theirs so much cool stuff that could happen.

^ just a Philly shell stance only video in case you don’t wanna watch ten whole minutes lol

^ really good video on Manny Pacquiao (who I always root for) and Floyd Mayweather Jr. you can see Mayweather is using Philly Shell, that’s his style, but you can see the vicious return jabs he’s able to give whenever his opponent goes for a swing and he’s just able to roll the hit off his shoulder and immediately respond. Now.

Imagine that’s Raph. And Imagine 6’5” (film height) just returning that kind of jab when he’s fighting.

Thank you for coming to my Turtle Talk!

LIFE WITH TINY/CHIBI ABBY

was thinking about that Abby sackboy from yesterday, and felt like having a little Abby of my own was a life need. insp a little bit by those early 2010s fanfiction of ‘owner manuals’ for chibi characters! enjoy your own adorable tiny abby. sfw/fluff

🥺 I truly cannot decide if she’s plushie sized or super tiny, hamster-sized BUT SHES LITTLE.

- at first glance, the idea of having your own tiny abby feels like having a house pet, right? but in reality, she’s a very intelligent, sensitive little creature, and it’s a job in its own keeping her happy, healthy, and alive.

- a bit of a crybaby, and if she feels rejected, will go off into a corner and sulk. will not talk to you about it. if you ask her if she’s crying, no, she never cries! (with tears pooling, obviously.)

- please don’t lift the poor thing up by her braid, it gets her dizzy and upsets her. hold her gently in two palms, or scooped into one of your arms! abby will typically nestle up into any loose clothing you have, and it isn’t uncommon to feel a strange heaviness on the back of your neck and find her sleeping in your hood!

- hyperactive and easy for her to disappear on you, only to find her tearing up your towel rack, or spinning around while riding a Roomba. Try setting up an endurance course for her to do if you enjoy peace and quiet, because she can and will turn your house inside out if you let her.

- abby’s favourite passtime is reading and loves to curl up on your chest while you read a book to her, especially if she gets to pick out the book. she loves fantasy books, not so much nonfiction, and if a book is too scary, it’ll give her bad nightmares. it’s common that if your tiny abby won’t fall asleep, the best practice is to read to her until she dozes off. sometimes, this might backfire, and you’ll end up being asked for ‘one more chapter’ until the night ends.

- refuses to sleep in or let you sleep in. rises early in the morning way before the rooster crows, and will nudge your head over and over until you wake up. if that doesn’t work, be prepared to get jumped on until you’re ready for your day, she needs to pick off your breakfast, remember?

- a heavy eater, and even if you make her her own meals, she’ll usually end up picking off of yours anyways. truly eats much more than you’d imagine such a compact frame to hold, and if you let her, will eat eggs until she gets sick. loves treats, and will sit quietly if you leave her sitting next to a plate of strawberries or sweet apple slices. if she ever gets a hold of caffeine, good luck.

- practically has no concept of danger; everything is a fun adventure to her no matter how much you try to keep her out of harms way. you might have to baby proof your entire house, because no matter how many times you tell her not to do something, a tiny abby is a miniature juggernaut, and a little shit who will get into anything any everything. known to become uneasy and disoriented at extreme heights, so it’s best to keep valuables on a high table or shelf.

- as an extension to her occasionally self-serving nature, tiny abby is prone to attitudes and throws a fit when she’s told no. you’d have her sitting on your desk while surfing the web or working, and she’d get so frustrated after being told that you weren’t ready to log off that she’d try to somehow find her way down herself. Next thing you know, against both of your better judgements, she’s swan diving off of your desk, leaving you to catch her moments before she collided with the hard floor. Somehow this causes you to dote and baby her more, so mission failed successfully?

- even though she’s comparatively so small, abby is bigger and stronger than most where she’s from, so she has a strong urge to be useful, even when she’s completely out of her little depth. will pick up and put down random items to show off to you, and will get disheartened if you don’t look and cheer EVERY time. yes, even if she’s picked up your wallet 6 times today. typically, this takes the form of helping you out with all of your chores in any way she can: holding out your ingredients for you when you cook, or adding the detergent pods to the wash when you do laundry (even though she accidentally fell in once while putting them, oops!) when she’s mad though? expect her to take out her frustration by throwing all of your shit on the floor, pushing your cup of tea off of your desk like a cat, or hiding all of your stuff in spots only she can get to. unfortunately, she’s too cute to be mad at for long, even when she feels all too satisfied with her mischief.

- definitely uses it to her advantage. needs attention, and will have a fit if she isn’t constantly by your side, or if you leave the house for too long, as she gets really lonely. fortunately, there are always new friends for your tiny Abby to make, and she places well with a Tiny Manny or Tiny Lev and Yara. if you value your mental health, personal belongings and inner peace, do NOT place her with a Tiny Ellie, as they are not compatible and *will* raise hell and cause catastrophe.

- is very enamored by the concept of glass, and got knocked out for a couple of minutes by running full speed into a door once. put her in front of a mirror, and she’ll be entertained for hours wondering how you got two of her, how there’s even more than one of her to begin with.

- it’s recommended to sleep abby in her own area, such as a little bed, or a pillow with a tiny sheet or blanket, but sometimes, if she truly trusts and love you, your tiny abby will come and sleep with you on her own accord. just be careful not to roll over her!

Big Male MC - Headcanon

Arcana Characters (Portia, Nadia) x MC

A/N: this one is for an anonymous requester! I’m fairly certain the request is about their OC, since it’s fairly specific, so I’ll do my best! Basically, the MC is even bigger than Muriel, and very muscular (but kinda chubby, like a deadlifter), and also has a fluffy beard and hair :) please let me know if there are any spelling or grammar mistakes :) requests are open!

🧡Portia🧡

Pick her up

Immediately

It’s literally the first thing she asks when she meets you

She sees how tall and buff you are, and she just needs to know what it’s like

And jokes on you; once you pick her up, that’s it, she’s never letting you go

It starts as a casual friendship, as you both have similar stations in life, but Portia really doesn’t try to hide the fact that she’s interested in you as more than a friend

She makes plenty of jokes about how you could absolutely destroy your enemies, but in all honesty, she’s much more likely to get in a fight (and she can definitely hold her own)

Really, she uses you as an intimidation tactic, which basically means you just have to stand menacingly behind her

Sometimes she talks about robbing people using your combined skills, and you can never really be sure whether or not she’s joking

She takes every opportunity to throw herself at you to see if you’ll catch her

It’s okay if you don’t, because she just latches on like a koala anyway

All in all, your relationship is more fun than anything else— you two may be in a romantic relationship, but your dynamic will always be the same as one would see between two best friends

💜Nadia💜

Nadia has never been one to objectify people based on their appearance— she treats everyone like a person, regardless of what they may look like

But internally, the first time she sees you, her metaphorical jaw drops

She’s never seen someone so huge

Of course, she shakes it off quickly; she’s already decided she wants to get to know you, and the first step is always to strike up a conversation

She makes an effort to spend time with you, whether it be through inviting you to formal activities, or just wandering around the grounds

The relationship is refreshing; you’re given a chance to talk as much as you’d like without judgement, and Nadia has the opportunity to allow herself to relax

Something about your size is calming to her; she’s usually the one in charge (and she still is— she has a very dominant personality, and she won’t apologize for that), but she feels like she doesn’t have to actively assert herself as much around you

Also, if you occasionally carry her, she won’t complain

You two become each other’s rock, and there’s no doubt you’ll always be there for each other

You both present new opportunities, as well as new perspectives (although never the perspective of a short person hehe)

Rated: G

Pairing: pre-slash James/Peter

Word Count: ~700

A/N: AU where they meet differently and also Tink (and all fairies) is a cat

"Oh. You have a cat." James looks down nervously at the blonde tabby currently rubbing herself against Peter’s legs and purring. Peter smiles, picking her up.

"Yeah! Are you allergic?" He asks, tilting his head at the older man.

"No." James shifts, staring at Tinkerbell like she might launch herself at him. Honestly, she might. Tink's always had a bit of a temper, above any other cat Peter’s met. "They just... don't tend to like me."

"That's okay. She won't hurt you." Peter smiles sunnily, and it's against his better judgement, but James trusts the smile enough to inch closer. Peter's smile widens and he lifts the cat closer to him. "Her name's Tinkerbell."

"Hello, Miss Tin-" James cuts off, the cat reaching out with a hiss as Peter steps closer and clawing him across the cheek and nose. James backpedals in the shock of pain, hand going to the claw marks. The skin is wet under his fingers. To his annoyance, Peter laughs at his cat's actions, dropping her as the force of his humour bows him over, hands moving instead to clasp his knees in an attempt to keep his balance. Tinkerbell takes a swipe at his leg as she passes, thankfully failing to get past the material of his pants, her nose in the air as she walks further into the house with her tail swishing.

"You lied to me." James says.

"Maybe," Peter smiles up at him, grin toothy with laughter. James feels his own mouth twitch betrayingly upward.

"May I perhaps have a bandaid?" James asks, pulling out a handkerchief to dab at the blood.

"For something so small?" Peter’s smile plays at his attempt of a pout, eyelashes batting innocently.

"If you can spare one from your vast collection," James says. Peter rolls his eyes.

"They're in the bathroom, come on." Peter leads him further into the apartment and James takes a seat on the toilet when Peter directs him to. The boy pulls out what truly only can be considered a collection. It's a spiral bound folder, like one might use for displaying cds or stickers or even for scrapbooking. There are pages and pages of bandaids of all different sizes and designs within little pouches. Peter removes two bandages, one with gold coins on a red background and the other with a little tricorn hat with a skull and crossbones flag next to it. James snorts.

"Pirate ones?" James asks.

"Only the best for my favourite inspiration and cover artist," Peter says haughtily, messing with the sink and a rag, and James looks away to hide the pleased flush of his face at Peter's words. They're joking, anyway.

"I thought your brothers were your favourite inspiration," James says. He glances back at Peter just in time to see his nose scrunch up in thought.

"True," Peter says. He wrings out the cloth. "Guess you're just my favourite cover artist, then."

"I thought I was your only cover artist," James says, because apparently he can not keep his foot out of his mouth today.

"Maybe," Peter says mysteriously. James looks at him when Peter takes gentle hold of his chin to wipe at the cat scratch and for the life of him, James can't tell whether or not Peter truly has someone else making covers for his books. He hopes not. It'd make him awfully jealous.

"It's a shame," Peter says with a hum.

"What is?" James asks.

Peter turns his face this way and that, tilting it so the bathroom's fluorescents shine more fully on his skin. "I don't think it'll scar."

"A tragedy," James agrees seriously.

"Probably for the best, though. This way you'll only have the scar I gave you." Peter says, words nearly dark, as he puts the first bandaid on, the tricorn hat across the bridge of James' nose. James nearly touches the scar Peter gave him a year ago, stark across the expanse of his ribs. It'd been an accident, gotten while Peter was acting something out with a blade too sharp to be moving it like he'd been. But Peter held all the marks of a swordsman and James was too caught up in watching to say anything. The look on Peter's face when the doctor said it'd scar was proud.

"I guess it is for the best, then," James agrees, quieter. Peter slaps the second bandaid to his cheek. Literally. James hisses through his teeth at the sting.

Dizzy (A Hat In Time fanfic)

Summary: Time moves ever onwards. Emily continues to adjust to life on the surface.

Previous | Next

Word count: 4,315

Warnings: Violence, swearing, blood, injury, illness, threats, mentions of killing, mentions of death, mentions of gang violence

Author's notes: I'm back! This side story won't leave my brain alone! Anyway, the title is based off the song "Dizzy" by mxmtoon. Anyway, if you checked the tags then you'll see we have another canon character added to the party. But, you've seen the warnings, you know this isn't going to be a perfect story. Despite that, I hope you enjoy this next chapter.

Emily stretched and yawned as she woke up, Badge also gently stirring beside her.

Majesty had approved them staying with Scarlett for now, under the reasoning that “If they wanted their own place to stay then they can save up for it themselves”.

Scarlett’s mother - who was called Matilda - had been nothing but kind to the two cats.

And so, the months zipped by, slowly melting into a few years.

Occasionally Emily would be given a few requests and jobs from Majesty and would still report in every now and then.

She and Badge grew and changed, gaining more advanced speech as they spent more time on the surface.

Both cats were still required to wear some kind of red as a symbol of being members of the Fallen Angels.

Badge had grown quickly with proper sustenance. What was once a scrap of fur was now the size of most of the cats working in the gang.

They had also discovered pin badges, saving up pocket money to buy more for their growing collection which they wore on their red hoodie.

Emily was now just taller than Scarlett's mother. The cat's fur was longer by her head, usually held back in a small ponytail.

She'd grown accustomed to the red leather jacket she'd been gifted from Majesty, wearing it almost constantly.

But as she'd grown older, she'd also grown to understand how abismal the situation in the metro was. It had given her quick judgement of others and a sharp tongue.

That and it seemed that whenever Badge visited there with her, she'd always end up in a fight to defend them.

“Morning,” Badge yawned, slowly getting up from beside her.

Emily picked her jacket up, slinging it on. “I'm going out.”

“Matilda will worry if you leave without saying again.”

“That's why I told you. You can tell her.”

The white and grey cat looked down as a paw wrapped around her wrist.

Badge's green eyes narrowed. “Where are you going?”

“I'm going to find Claw.”

“I'm not the naive kitten I used to be! That lie doesn't work on me anymore!” Badge cried, tears welling in their eyes. “I know he isn't coming back!”

Emily sucked in a sharp breath and shook off their loosened grip. “Where I'm going shouldn't be your business.”

Badge sniffed and scrubbed at their face as she walked out their shared room.

Pawsteps followed her downstairs.

Emily stopped with one paw resting on the door handle. “Badge, please.” Such a hoarse whisper. “I just need to take a couple jobs so we aren't bothering Scarlett and Matilda anymore.”

Badge paused before their words came out in a rush. “No, please, don't. We can get proper jobs, don't get money from Majesty, please. Nothing good is going to come from that, please, Em, don't.”

“Wait here until Scarlett and Matilda get back from shopping,” Emily instructed, quickly grabbing the spare key for the house.

She opened the door, turned and closed it quickly and locked it.

Badge's shouting was muffled as Emily quickly made her way towards the tunnels that would lead her back underground to the metro.

The tunnels were filthy and disused, years old posters peeling from the brick walls.

Broken vacuums drove into the walls, others lay ripped open and salvaged for parts.

She continued forward until she arrived at the warehouse that Majesty was currently based in.

The tabby grinned as she walked into his office. “There's my favourite girl!”

Emily cautiously took a seat opposite him. “Hi boss.”

“Ah-ah, what’ve we said? It's fine using my name, remember?”

“Sorry Majesty.”

“That's better kid. Now, I'm pretty sure you're here for jobs?”

The tabby took out his phone, showing it off.

“Nice isn't it? I'll give you one of these if you can capture a Chosen Demon for me.”

Emily paused, mind taking a moment to process. “You want me to go to Demon territory?”

Majesty nodded. “Use the soot in storage to make yourself the right colour then put this on and ditch your jacket.”

He passed her a blue version of her original scarf.

“Does it matter what Demon?”

“Nope. So long as it's a Demon, you get a phone. Return them to me alive.”

The way he put emphasis on the alive part was worrying.

Whatever cat had tried this job before clearly didn't clue into that part.

Meaning they were now the same as whatever Demon they'd bought back.

“Yes sir.”

Emily stifled a sneeze for what felt like the sixth time in a minute.

The soot on her fur did a good job of hiding her usual colours but it also itched and tickled and clogged her lungs.

Not to mention how bare she felt without her jacket.

“I don't recognise you.”

Emily jumped and turned around, looking at the cat next to her.

The black cat had a blue scarf tied loosely around his neck, eyes sparkling with mischief as he smiled at her.

“You're an Angel, aren't you?” He said.

Emily's throat went dry.

“What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?” The Demon let out a snort of laughter at his own joke before smiling at her. “Don't worry, I won't tell.”

This was it.

A Demon.

Albeit one who was an idiot.

But if she could just knock him out.

“You know, if you want to hide your fur colour then you should use a thicker coat of soot,” he advised and Emily frantically scanned her body, letting out a quiet curse at the streak of white on her shin.

“Do you want anything?” She hissed, trying to walk away from him.

The Demon shrugged, jogging to catch up with her as she slunk along more alleyways.

“Well, it's not every day an angel drops by,” he teased.

Emily let out a low growl but went still and silent as a patrol of Demons walked past.

The Demon beside her rested his head on her shoulder. “So, what're you here for? We had an Angel kill a guard the other week, don't tell me you're here to continue that.”

“That's classified.”

“You know, I'm not sure what that gang did to you but it seems pretty different from what happened here.”

She whirled around, claws unsheathing and aiming for his face.

The Demon ducked, sweeping her legs.

She tumbled to the floor and he crouched beside her.

Her head span after connecting with the concrete, dots dancing through her vision as she tried to sit up.

He pressed a paw to her shoulder, forcing her back towards the floor. “Don't stand up right away, that sounded painful. You might have a concussion.”

“I have half a right to claw your throat out,” Emily growled, the words of their conversation sending stabs of pain through her head.

He hummed and pulled a face, moving his head from one side to the other. “I mean, maybe. I have been pretty annoying. Can you blame me though?”

“Yes,” she gritted out before darkness began swarming her vision.

Her head lolled and the Demon scooped her up, panic contorting his features. “Hey, no, don't fall asleep. That's bad. Very bad. I'll take you to my place and get you fixed up, okay?”

She barely replied before focusing on staying awake.

Emily blinked, rubbing her eyes and sitting up. Far too quickly it seemed, as pain lanced through her skull and she let out a hiss of pain.

The Demon from earlier was sitting on a chair at the foot of her bed, smiling softly at her as she looked at him. “Hi again.”

“Shut up.”

He made a mock-offended face before standing and walking away.

Emily let out a sigh, collapsing back onto the comfy sheets she'd been laying on.

Where was she? That Demon must have kidnapped her, it was the only explanation. If so, then Majesty would rain hell down on this place.

Wherever this place was.

A cat trotted over to her, short grey-blue fur shining in the low light from a lamp somewhere further in the room.

A royal blue shirt was buttoned up on the cat's body, held close around their middle with a grey belt.

“You must be Emily. I'm Radiance, it's very nice to meet you. Claw has told me all about you,” she greeted.

Emily snapped to attention, bolting back upright.

“Claw's alive?! He's here?!”

Tears forced their way into her eyes, leaking down the sides of her face.

Radiance reached out, using the corner of her sleeve to dab at the tears on Emily's face.

“Yes, he is. I believe you two are already acquainted. I'm afraid he's just left to get you something to eat,” Radiance replied, sitting down beside Emily on the bed.

She scooted nervously away from the notorious leader of the Chosen Demons.

But Radiance didn't seem anything like what Majesty had said.

“Don't move around too quickly, you might start losing blood again. My stitches will hold as long as you aren't too active while it heals.”

Emily watched Radiance intently, studying her.

The Demon didn't seem so bad.

But maybe this was a ploy, using sympathy to convert her to their cause.

“Why are you being nice to me?” She questioned.

Radiance frowned. “Has Majesty truly forsaken being caring towards others?” The grey-blue cat let out a long breath through her nose. “I'm being nice to you because you're injured. And because I know that whatever that idiot has done to get people to follow him must be atrocious if it leads to such low levels of trust and slaughtering our own soldiers when we show them kindness.”

Emily stayed silent, absorbing this information.

Had Badge been right all this time?

Has being in the Fallen Angels really been so detrimental?

Radiance's attention flicked to the doorway. “Well, Claw's back so I'll leave you two to catch up.”

Emily's heart stopped as she looked at the cat walking towards her.

Claw set down a bag that smelled strongly of fish and chips, refusing to meet her gaze.

He eventually nervously tugged at the scarf around his neck and looked up at her.

“Hi Emily. How's it going?”

She lunged forward, completely disregarding Radiance's advice as she knocked him to the floor.

“You pecking idiot!” She sobbed, burying her face in the crook of his neck.

Claw let out a small huff of amusement, arms wrapping around her to hold her in a tight hug. “As I said, I've been pretty annoying.”

“Yeah, you have.”

Claw rubbed gently circles into her back as she clung to him. “I'm sorry I didn't come find you. But I heard about the Angels and I was too afraid to.”

He pushed her away from him. “Emily, it's not safe there.”

“They don't matter anymore. Demons, Angels, I don't care. I finally have you back.”

Claw smiled and rested his forehead against hers, purring softly.

Emily hesitantly pulled away.

“What's wrong?”

“How long have I been here for?” She inquired.

“Maybe half the day? It's probably about evening now.”

Emily swore before giving him an imploring look. “Do you have a phone I can borrow?”

Claw reached into the bag, taking out a mobile and holding it out to her.

Emily practically snatched it from his paws, quickly punching in the number for Scarlett's house.

It didn't ring for long before someone picked it up.

“Who is it?”

“Badge, it's me.”

A series of loud curses sounded over the phone before Badge finally got a proper sentence out.

“Where are you?! Matilda is out with the police searching for you! Scarlett won't stop crying!”

Emily winced. “I found Claw.”

“Stop pecking lying to me all the time! If you're running away from home then just spit it out!” Badge snarled.

Emily took a deep breath. “Badge, I'd never run away from home, don't even suggest that. And I'm fine, I'll be home tomorrow. I'm just… staying over at a friend's house.”

“Okay, well, I'm calling nonsense on that,” Badge declared.

“How come you'll swear but you refuse to say bullshit?”

“Peck you, I can use what swears I want!”

“Anyway, I'm going. I'll be back tomorrow morning. Let the others know.”

“No, Em-”

“Please Badge. I promise. I've just got a concussion so I'm going to rest tonight and I'll be back by tomorrow.”

“Just a concussion?! Do you hear what you're saying?! I swear, you need to stop taking jobs for Majesty!”

“I'm going, Badge.”

“No, Em, don't.”

“I need a rest and some food Badge, not you yelling at me. I'm in safe hands, I promise.”

“Like the Angels are safe,” Badge muttered.

Emily let out an exasperated sigh. “I'm going, Badge.”

“Fine.”

“See you tomorrow.”

“Sure.”

Emily hung up and passed the phone back to Claw with a wince. “You heard all that, didn't you?”

“I'm just glad Badge is alright. I freaked out when me and Radiance couldn't find him.”

Emily collapsed back into his embrace, resting her head against his shoulder. “I’m so tired I could hibernate.”

“Well, can you manage some food first? Then you can get some sleep. I'll make sure no one disturbs you,” Claw responded.

Emily sighed. “Yeah, okay, that sounds nice.”

Emily stirred but nuzzled further into the pillow her head was resting on.

“C'mon sleepyhead, you promised Badge you'd go home this morning,” Claw said, prodding her in the side a few times before flicking her ear.

Empress let out a groan, rolling over and glaring at him. “But it's comfy here.”

“I hate to say but you should leave Demon territory. Don't overstay your welcome,” Radiance added, walking into the room. She took something out her pocket, placing it down beside Emily before also laying a purple jacket beside her.

Emily straightened, examining the items. “What are these?”

“Gifts. You're too good for the Angels. And while I don't entirely approve of you being here, I understand you'll want to see Claw again. Organise meetups on your own terms,” Radiance explained.

Emily slipped on the purple jacket and nervously picked up the phone.

“It's only got mine and Claw’s numbers, if that's what you're worried about. Mine is for emergencies only, remember that.”

Emily bowed. “Thank you ma'am.” Then she turned to Claw. “I'll message you once I'm home.”

Claw smiled. “We'll organise some time to meetup? Maybe see a movie? Get dinner some time?”

Emily pocketed the phone after one last look over of it.

“I'll see you around.”

“See you soon Emily.”

“You're back!” Scarlett sobbed, latching onto Emily when she stepped back through the door.

Emily patted her on the back. “Yeah, I was only gone a day. For most of which you were at school.”

“Oh peck you!”

“Language Scarlett,” Matilda reprimanded from the kitchen, gesturing for Emily to come talk to her.

The cat's ears flattened back against her head, tail curling around her leg.

“I'm sorry I made you worry ma'am,” she apologised.

Matilda sighed as she went about making lunch. “Leave a note next time.”

“I told Badge-”

“Leave a note,” Matilda repeated, tone sombre. “Badge said you had a concussion. Are you feeling better or do you want to rest today?”

“I'd quite like to rest,” Emily meekly said.

Matilda nodded. “I'll make sure the others leave you be. Go get some rest.”

Emily turned, heading out the room.

“And don't try to sneak out or you're grounded.”

“Wasn't planning to,” Emily called back over her shoulder.

Scarlett stood at the bottom of the stairs, frowning, wings crossed over her chest.

“Do you have a boyfriend? Is that why you keep going out?”

“Pfft, me? No, I'd never. Anyway, you seem thoroughly enamoured with that Conductor - or whatever his name was - you made friends with at theatre group last month.”

Scarlett’s feathers puffed up. “I don't like him! He's just my friend.”

“Mhm, sure,” Emily sceptically hummed, gently pushing her out the way. “Have fun with him for your movie night this evening.”

“Shut up Em!” Scarlett called as the cat walked up the stairs.

She flopped down onto her bunk, digging out the phone that Radiance had gifted her.

hey claw its emily do you want to come over later this week

The cat sighed and turned it back off, picking up the TV remote on the floor near her.

The TV flickered into life with an advert for visiting the Subcon Woods.

“Pssh, everyone knows that place is a death sentence, no one would ever go there,” Emily laughed to herself before looking at her phone as it buzzed.

You are adorable, I'll teach you how to text properly. I can come over tomorrow if you wanted.

She tapped out a response.

i will check with matilda but that should be okay heads up i have an annoying friend who will think youre my boyfriend

The TV switched to play Chicago, about halfway into the film.

Almost enough to distract her.

Lol, that's fine. Let me know if I can come over.

Emily scrambled to her feet, jogging halfway down the stairs before yelling at the closed kitchen door. “Can I have a friend over tomorrow?”

Matilda opened the door and stuck her head out. “Sure. I didn't realise you had other friends.”

“Boyfriend!” Badge and Scarlett chorused from somewhere else.

“He's not my boyfriend!” Emily growled towards the living room before looking back at Matilda. “He's an old friend. We reconnected recently.”

“Is he joining us for dinner?”

“Um, maybe?”

Matilda smiled. “I'll make extras just in case. Let your friend know I'm excited to meet him.

Emily went back upstairs, quickly sending Claw a final message before focusing on the musical playing on TV.

matilda says you can come over tomorrow and you can join us for dinner if you want

Emily bolted for the door as the doorbell rang, hoping to get there before Scarlett or Badge.

Unfortunately, Scarlett was already there, grinning up at her friend.

“Hi there! I'm Scarlett! You're Emily's boyfriend!”

Emily shoved a paw in Scarlett's face, pushing her aside as Claw stepped into the house.

He looked anxious, tail curled close to his legs as he stood next to her.

Emily smiled and greeted him before looking at Scarlett. “Go continue hanging out with your boyfriend.”

“Me and Con aren't dating!” Scarlett protested, running upstairs where the yellow owl was likely waiting.

Emily let her smile drop. “I love her but she doesn't know when to mind her own business sometimes.”

She led him further into the house, sticking her head into Matilda's art room where the owl was busy painting. “Um, Matilda, my friend is here.”

“I heard,” she laughed, turning around and waving to Claw. “Nice to meet you. I'm Matilda.”

“Er, Claw,” he replied.

“Make yourself comfortable. Emily, get him a drink and snack, the poor boy looks half-starved. And while you're at it, go take the three stooges something to eat.”

“Yes ma'am.”

Emily grabbed his wrist, taking him out to kitchen while she fixed some food.

She thrust a plate of crisps at him before picking up the bowl of sweet treats she'd also prepared and leading him upstairs.

She kicked open the door to Scarlett's room, passing Badge the bowl.

Scarlett was busy examining Conductor, who seemed embarrassed to be wearing a princess tiara and a sparkly pair of wings.

“Something's off, you just aren't fairy enough,” Scarlett criticised.

“I think I am,” Conductor replied, accent thick.

“Thanks for the food. Have fun,” Badge said to Emily.

She smirked at the scene of the room before taking Claw to her's and Badge's room.

“Yeah, this is where I live,” she said with a shrug, sitting down on her bunk.

Claw looked around, standing awkwardly until Emily patted the space beside her.

“Sorry I'm late. I've never been on the surface before and it's all so…” he trailed off.

She nodded, remembering how long it took her to adjust to the surface.

“Different to the metro,” she finished for him.

“Yeah,” Claw shakily laughed.

Emily let out a breath, resting her head on his shoulder. “I missed you.”

“It's been a day-”

“I meant before.”

Claw looped an arm around her torso, pulling her closer. “Yeah, that's fair. Me too.”

Matilda sat at one end of the table, Badge at the other. Conductor and Scarlett sat next to each other on one side.

Scarlett didn't keep a smug look off her face when Emily and Claw sat next to each other opposite her.

“Boyfriend,” Scarlett mouthed.

Emily cut her eyes to Conductor with a smirk before silently retorting. “Loverboy.”

Both of them looked at Matilda as the woman coughed viciously.

Scarlett reached out a tentative wing to pat her mother on the back.

“I'm fine,” Matilda wheezed, reaching for her glass of water and taking a long gulp. “Badge, would you mind fetching me some more water?”

Badge stood quickly, exiting to get to the kitchen. “Sure.”

After Matilda recovered she turned her attention to Claw. “Emily told me that you're old friends. When did you two meet?”

Both of them exchanged a look. “Err…”

“Well-”

“You see-”

“It's a, uh, real funny story-”

“Properly mad-”

“You don't have to tell me if it's that awkward,” Matilda chuckled, saying a quick ‘thank you’ to Badge as they passed her a fresh glass of water.

Emily zoned out for most of dinner, occasionally chipping in with a comment.

Claw checked his phone about halfway through, excusing himself as he had to get back to work.

Matilda accepted his excuses but curiosity sparked in Emily as she wondered what might be happening in the Metro.

Emily pulled Badge aside after dinner.

“What?”

“Well, you've met Claw again.”

Badge made a face and looked down at the floor.

“Badge. Badge look at me.”

Green orbs reluctantly raised back to meet her own golden ones.

“Badge, don't try to lie. Be honest. What did you think of him?

Badge frowned. “I don't even remember him much. I'm glad I have you as a big sister and I appreciate he probably looked after me before you did. But he wasn't the one who raised me…? Not properly anyway. I'm probably explaining this bad. I do remember him but I remember you more. And I am pissed you used to use him as a lie. But I'm glad you've got your friend back.”

Emily blinked. “So…?”

“Simply, I don't really care.”

“Oh, okay,” Emily said. “Can you cover for me tonight? I need to go report in.”

Badge sighed and rolled their eyes but conceded. “Fine. But you're covering for me when I leave the day after tomorrow.”

Emily caught the sleeve of their hoodie as they tried to walk away. “Hey, hold up, where the fuck are you going?”

“Road trip. I heard about this place with really cool badges that do all kinds of weird things.”

“Fine.” She stripped off her jacket, passing it to Badge.

“See you in the morning.”

“Night Badge.”

Emily spotted Rex as she entered the warehouse the Angels were currently based in.

He still sported the injury she’d given him when they were little, the tear in his ear making him stick out.

Rex shook his head slowly as she walked towards Majesty's office.

The tabby glowered at her as she sat down across from him.

He suddenly lunged forward, grabbing the scruff of fur on her chest, hissing in her face. “You slimy little two-timer!”

Emily let out a gasp of pain as his claws dug into her skin. “What?”

“Don't you fucking dare play innocent after botching a job and disappearing, you little shit!” Majesty roared. “You don't bring me a Demon, you don't even come back, and then three days later you show up acting like nothing's wrong!”

Emily shook in his grip as his brown eyes bored into her.

“Do you have any fucking idea what you've done?”

She swallowed shakily, meekly whispering. “I'm sorry, sir.”

The leader let out a snarl and released her, stalking around until he was standing in front of her.

Emily let out a gasp of pain as claws sank down into her left shoulder and ripped down across her body a bit.

Red blossomed on her white fur.

“You're one of my favourites. Be glad that's all that's happened after this. Don't disappoint me again or you know what will happen.”

Emily nodded, quickly clasping a paw over the wound as Majesty moved away.

“Now, I have a few galas coming up on the surface. You're going to join me. Understood?”

She nodded, teeth gritted together to stop the scream of pain clawing up her throat.

“Now go. Come back here at the end of the week.”

Matilda didn't press about what had happened when Emily got back.

She merely fetched bandages and pain killers, silently wrapping the cat's wounds.

It was an unspoken rule.

Emily wasn't to ask about Scarlett’s father.

And Matilda wasn't to ask about where Emily went.

Badge had let out a shriek and given Emily an earful once she got back to their room.

Their shouting had woken Scarlett who showed up bleary-eyed at their door, asking how Emily had hurt herself.

“Just a little accident while trying to do some more advanced choreography. Get back to sleep Scarlett.”

The owl had begrudgingly accepted her lie.

Badge stayed awake, holding her gently and sobbing.

Emily slowly patted the top of their head with her good arm.

It wasn't like she didn't want to be away from the Fallen Angels.

She dreamt of a day where that could be an option.

But that was not an option.

It never would be.

So she would grit her teeth and smile through the pain.

Majesty had been right.

Acting really was a useful skill.

[nothums-from-tj]

In honor of me coming out to my dad tomorrow uhhhhh here’s a playlist to send to a loved one you plan on coming out to (starts with information, then with advice and stories, and then good trans/non-binary representation in media) bc I’m gonna be sending this to him afterwards. Feel free to use this playlist and these resources for your own coming out if you’d like :] it’s a long list so uh scroll to the end for my final point

PFLAG (can help parents find support groups to try to cope bc this is a shift in relationship and it’s ok for them to grieve, or at least find other resources to help them to support you)

HRC Resources (this particular section debunks myths on transgender issues and popular arguments against trans people and transitioning and answering common questions about said issues)

Understanding Gender Identity (article with a long list of definitions, go through and tell them what to start with to understand you and the situation better; there’s a beginning part too, though I feel it’ll be too confusing to start them off there)

Transgender Brain and Gender Identity (article discussing some improvements in transgender research and providing hope for trans people’s future I’d think, it’s a little wordy and an excellent read methinks)

GC2B (for my AFAB friends, this is probably the highest quality chest binder you can get and wearing a thin top under or wearing it inside out should help with any sensory issues, also since it’s made by fellow trans mascs they know how to not hurt our bodies; transitional gear is an excellent way for a loved one to support you if they can afford it; DO NOT go a size too small, don’t even risk it, they don’t work the way bras do)

Transguy Supply (also for AFAB friends, this I mostly trust for packers and packing boxers, and again transitional gear is an excellent way to support you if it can be afforded; do your own research for packing so you and your loved one are on the same page or at least you’d be able to let them know)

Menstrual Boxers (last one for AFAB friends lol, specifically for y��all who menstruate; this is such a dysphoria reliever for me as it feels like men’s underwear and I don’t have to really worry about “protection” for a little while, they also have regular “girl” boxers that can help you find a middle ground of sorts with the person you’re coming out to for a bit, just to ease into it)

Bra Resource (now for my AMAB pals, unfortunately I’m not skilled here as I myself am a trans man so I want to do my best here anyway: here is an article written by a trans woman with her bra experience and has varying other articles that I’m hoping will help you and a loved one out to pick one out for you as, again, transitional gear is an amazing way to support you if they can afford this type of gesture)

Tomboy X (from compression tops to packing boxers to adaptable bras to gaffs, y’all are set to go with just about everything here they do their best to relieve everyone’s dysphoria—def look at the reviews for things for a better judgement)

TransTape (skin-safe “tape” that can be used for packing, binding, and tucking; I think binding with TT is safer than with a binder since it’s not actually compressing, don’t quote me on that though; READ THE INSTRUCTIONS before use, please don’t hurt yourself)

Reminder that while it’s not your responsibility to do all the education for them, it’s important to push them in the right direction, at least to give them reliable sources. Make sure to look at the sites, read the articles, and watch the videos either before your coming out or do this with them so you can pick and choose what you want to narrate in your own experiences. Stay cool and be safe! Feel free to reblog with other sources, tips, anything you want to add!

If it helps at all: they don’t need to fully understand, the goal is that they accept you

(Edit from the next day, 5/5/2023: everything’s good and fine and cool between us and I can only hope y’all have a similar experience <3)
