#RIP Earth XD

[teaboot]

As someone who learnt english as a second language via textbook, I have to say "flying by the seat of my pants" is a hilarious idiom xD

It's the first time I've seen/heard it.

Could you share another one you like using?

Idk about idioms specifically, but there's a bunch of phrases I learned from my mom!

[dreamweave01]

For your sep au what was Leo Raph and Donnies roigh timelines like? Also why does Donnie look shorter than everyone else (is he just slouching orrr)

Donnie has a problem with slouching, so it's mostly because of that.

But also because I may or may not have accidentally drawn him too low on the page

He's also now younger than Leo by a couple decades, so two much larger brothers made him look a lot smaller than I intended XD

The timeline stuff is a bit to explain.

So allow me to explain!

Leonardo's timeline was veryyy similar to that of the first five minutes of the movie. The Kraang invaded, the Resistance was formed.

And the Resistance failed.

One by one, the Hamato clan and friends fell. Raph died protecting refugees fleeing a Kraang prison camp. Soon after, Splinter succumbed to old age. Cassandra hung herself after being captured by the Kraang so they wouldn't be able to get important intel. A few years later, Donnie was killed in a freak lab explosion, and Mikey just. . . disappeared.

When the Kraang finally found the Resistance base, Leonardo was injured in battle, and April sacrificed herself to buy Casey Jr. enough time to get him and Leo to safety. Now, it was just the two of them struggling to survive.

Then the Kraang decided to leave Earth, assuming they had successfully concurred humanity.

So Casey and Leo set out to take down the Technodrome, determined in keeping the Kraang trapped on Earth to protect the rest of the galaxy or die trying.

And miraculously, they succeeded. But Casey died during the mission.

Alone for years on a planet now practically equivalent to the prison dimension, Leonardo only kept trying to survive because Casey Jr. made him promise to before the Kraang ended his life.

When the other Michelangelo found him, Leo was close to breaking that promise. Fortunately, he had held on for a little bit longer.

Raphael's timeline is almost the exact same as the events of the movie.

He was captured by the Kraang, infected and kraang-ified. His brothers came to rescue him and stop the Kraang.

But Leo wasn't able to get through to his big brother.

Something important to note is that Raph never stopped fighting for control. He was so determined to break free, because his brothers needed him. It was annoying for the Kraang, really. It's easiest to control broken spirits, and Raph wasn't about to break any time soon.

So the Kraang forced him to do the one thing that would shatter his resolve. They made him kill his own brothers, rip them limb from limb with his own bare hands.

It's an image likely to haunt him for the rest of his life, and is only one of the things the Kraang made him do.

Raph was under their control for years, both prisoner and soldier. He was quick to become the Kraang's favorite play thing, seemingly enjoying the torment they put him through; physically, mentally, emotionally, psychologically.

Over time, the Kraang infection within became a permanent part of him. Then Michelangelo rescued him, using his mystic powers to free Raph's mind, and brought him to his new home.

Now unlike the other two, Donatello never got the chance to meet the Kraang.

Mostly because he and his brothers never took down the Shredder.

They were going to of course. They went to rescue their dad, they had their Hamato ninpo. But things went terribly wrong.

Cassandra tried to free Splinter, just like in the show. But the Shredder ended her before she had the chance. With so much power coursing through him, there was nothing the turtles could do. Draxum was down next.

Without any backup, it was four against one, and the turtles weren't fairing too well. And in this timeline, they had never met April. The brothers did their best, but Shredder was just too strong.

During the battle, Mikey was critically injured. Raph and Leo gave one look at each other, and together held off the Shredder just long enough for Leo to portal Donnie and Mikey away to safety.

Donatello couldn't do anything as Mikey died in his arms.

Over the next year, Earth became a mafia state, with the Foot at the very top. Donnie did his best to keep a low profile, turning to a life of crime to scrape by. He's been betrayed by would-be friends, stabbed in the back more times than he can count.

He's learned that the best way to stay safe is to not get attached. Anyone who tries to be your friend is bound to hurt you.

Then, he was proven right.

Often times, gangs would hire him for his tech. On one such instance, the Purple Dragons managed to convince him to team up with them on a high pay heist. Donnie knew it was a bad idea from the start, but against his better judgement, went along with it.

The Purple Dragons obviously betrayed him, stealing all of his tech and research. And Kendra being. . . well, Kendra, she decided to take it a step further, to kill Donnie right there.

That's when the other Michelangelo arrived, rescuing Donatello.

To put it simply, these three have been through hell. They have a lot of issues, and a lot of stuff to work through.

Captain Hook x AFAB!Fairy!Reader || Smexcerpt

Plot: You thought convincing a witch to make you big as a human would soften your edges. Make you feel a little less.

But thats not the case. You still get so mad you cant see straight, you still get so sad you cant stop crying, and you still get so horny nothing else matters.

Warnings: Dub con themes. Fucking of convenience 😅 XD Context?? Nay... Also unedited.

It wasn't your fault that the only person with you when you started feeling this way was Captain Hook! If you had been close to mermaid lagoon, you would've happily engaged with a mermaid and not the cruel, wicked pirate you were most certainly not supposed to fraternise with. All the fairies were loyal to Peter, you all loved Peter dearly, and therefor all the fairies hated mean old Hook.

But when you got this way trying to sneak away from the pirates before they saw you, accidentally rubbing against a tree you were attempting to slip past, and let out that desperate, too-loud moan... and he heard you... and sent his men away so he could help the odd, human-sized fairy... you didn't have a choice! You had to use the cruel pirate Captain's convenient dick.

He only had to flash a beautiful wicked smirk at you, those burning eyes that looked like blood whenever he killed simmering right through you, before your shed your thin dress and bowled him over and onto the forest floor with your eagerness to release his cock from his belt and his pants and sit on it. You fumble with the belt, unfamiliar with the article, and you accidentally leave scratch marks with your sharp nails over his thighs as you pull down his trousers, but when you finally settle down onto his cock, taking him deeply inside your throbbing, drooling pussy you feel immediate relief. If only a little bit; not nearly enough to stop.

The Captain sighs, too, experiencing probably his first warm cunt since he was stranded at Neverland. A feeling you're sure the rotten old bastard coveted desperately all these years, seeing as how eager he was to be left alone with an insatiably horny fairy. You could see it when you closed your eyes and began to ride him; Him alone in his ships study pumping his cold and lonely cock with his eyes closed imagining if only there was a pretty girl in all of Neverland to sink into. The thought would bring you unfiltered joy, Captain Hook pathetic and needy, if you weren't already busy with pure, filthy lust.

The pretty sounds of ringing slip past your lips, the only language you know, as you fuck yourself on his thick cock. The sound like if someone took a bell and shook it like crazy filling up the clearing, along with the Captain's heavy breathing under you. He raises his torso and uses his good hand to hold himself up with his fingernails embedded in the earth under him while the arm with that dreadful hook wraps around your waist; holding you close and calling you magnificent in a breathless whisper.

He cum's a few times while you fuck him, getting hard again every time when you don't stop and don't let him up, instead keeping him in your vice-grip, drawing him dry. Its your one solace. He wanted to take advantage of your predicament; well he definitely got that.

When you finally cum your wings flutter extatically behind you, sending a cold gust of wind into the forest and blowing leaves up off the ground. You leave your shimmery grease all over the Captain's dick, thighs, and pelvis. With a flap of your wings you raise off of him, turn on him like he means nothing, and slip your dress back on over your body.

You're about to leave him in that clearing, sure that he hasn't moved, when you feel an arm wrap tightly around your waist and a body press tight to your back. A gasp rips from your throat, and you freeze- still.

You can feel warm breath on your neck when he mutters quietly to you; My dear, I don't know how you got to be this size. Cruel, fickle little creature... but don't think you're getting away.

We could be quite useful, to each other.

"If I can GUESS what your plan is--can I like...NOT listen to it?" Cindy quizzed, arching her brows. Every bad guy had this "super ELABORATE plan" for similar generic reasons. It was either love, revenge, power, or world PEACE. "I'm gonna go with the COLLIDER being your only way to gaining more power so you can get REVENGE on..."

Her nose scrunched up and she snapped her fingers. "Ah, I don't really care."

"And there's two SPIDER-people in this city. The BOYFRIEND is in another dimension." Her eyes flicker back to the portal and she sighs. The fascination is clear in his BODY language. (You guys are so PREDICTABLE.)

Was he really SHAMING her for not knowing the complex biology of a spider? Ass. "Why don't you just make me a KRABBY Patty and we'll call the spinneret thing done?"

His next comment made her snort HARD. Amusement was clear in her eyes but she nods her head. "Oh yeah, no--they'd LOVE to meet you. Yeah, they'll give you a full tour. Y'know, we've even got our own Starbucks. Yeah--Spider-Bucks. Not super CREATIVE, but you should see the latte art." She pauses. "Tell you what: you were so understanding, I'll even introduce you to my BOSS. That work for you?"

"Do you make every villain you fight listen to you gush about your boyfriend? He's not even here and I'm starting to feel like a third-wheel. Can't we go back to talking about me and my big plan for the colliders? You'd love it, it's actually pretty smart!"

Or maybe the less he says the better, unless he wants to set himself up for any more ill-timed comments. He'll learn for next time-- don't give the heroes prior warning.

"You and Spider-Man? And your boyfriend? How many superheroes does one city need?"

"I get it, branding was never really my strong suit either. But at least my stuff works! This one does not look safe. And if your Alchemax hadn't gotten past their initial tests, yet, then who even made this...?" Interest starts to creep into his tone and he flops around to try to get a better view of the portal, any attempts at actual escape momentarily forgotten.

"I'm gonna assume that you didn't build the portal machine-- I mean, you didn't even know what a spinneret was, haha. Sooo... how about you introduce me to the people behind this, and I 'come along quietly.' I'm cooperating!"

[save-the-villainous-cat]

Hear ye, hear ye! I come with a spicy request most worthy of a several year sentence in Horny jail! XD

Bottom villain x top hero, where the two are in an enemies with benefits kinda situationship, and this time seems like it’s gonna be no different (rough and kinda mean). But then, gasp, it’s revealed the villain was recently injured, and the hero gets pretty concerned. The villain insists on things continuing as normal, but the hero, not wanting to hurt their nemesis, changes things up, and does em sweet, slow, and gentle <3

“Ready?” All it took was this one word to activate the villain’s entire nervous system.

Usually, the hero didn’t lose many words over this. It was quick and rough. For the most part, that made it desirable. Sleeping with the enemy was thrilling and more or less like an adrenaline kick for the villain. It was a luxury they could afford. It didn’t mean anything. It didn’t have to either.

The hero was proficient and smart. They had figured out what the villain liked and what they didn’t like in the first few hookups they had spent together. If it hadn’t been for their stupid righteousness and their sense of justice that would never be just, they would’ve probably made a great partner. In bed at least.

Admittedly, the villain had thought about that a few times. Would the hero be a good lover? Someone who was willing to save everyone if they could? Someone who would put others before themselves constantly? Someone who may choose a city over a person?

After all, probably not. And even if they were, who would want the villain? Someone rotten, someone broken, someone—

“You’re distracted.”

“Oh, yes. Yeah, sorry.” The hero’s hand ran along the villain’s inner thigh and even though the stitches should have been good enough, the villain was nervous.

How on earth was anyone supposed to stitch the back of their thigh anyway?

They grabbed the hero’s muscly shoulders and tried to steady themselves.

“Alright.” The hero’s hand travelled down the villain’s thigh until they reached their knee. From there, they grabbed the hollow of the villain’s knee. “I have a meeting in an hour, so I’ll need to be quick today.”

“Yes, of course,” the villain said. They watched as the hero handled their leg and put it on their own shoulder. Cold air hit their shin but they knew in a few seconds, they wouldn’t even need the blanket anymore. The villain swallowed and prayed the hero wouldn’t notice the stitches.

Although they pressed a soft kiss to the villain’s thigh, they barely broke eye contact. Immediately, the villain felt the blood rush to their head.

Sometimes they really needed the hero.

After a few more kisses, the hero leaned forward until the villain’s thigh was pressed between their naked chests. They were close again, close enough to kiss but the villain knew their nemesis never really did that. Kissing their body? Sure. Kissing the villain? On good days, maybe.

The villain found the position familiar and yet, their wound made it nearly impossible to enjoy it.

Eventually they pulled the hero closer, waiting for them to push themselves into them.

However. The thread snapped and the villain could feel how the wound ripped open again.

They let out an involuntary sigh and held onto the villain’s back. Accidentally, they left scratch marks on their enemy’s skin.

“Wait, I haven’t even…”

“No, it’s fine, sorry. Continue. Please,” the villain choked out between clenched teeth.

“Oh…wait, holy shit.” The hero looked down and all the villain had to see was smeared blood on the hero’s hand. “Was that me!?”

“Nononono, I’m so sorry. That was yesterday.”

“I’m gonna get a towel.”

“No.” The villain grabbed them before they could go. “I look forward to this day every week. Let’s just finish this quickly, the bleeding isn’t even that bad.”

“Listen, I know you’re strong but…” The hero put their hand on the cut to stop the bleeding. It wasn’t too bad but the pain was still excruciating. “…having sex while bleeding is counterproductive.”

“We’re already naked and you don’t have much time left.”

“I can cancel my meeting.”

“Please, let’s just—”

“As stubborn as ever, I suppose.” The hero made an expression close to a warm smile and at first, the villain didn’t quite understand. However, when the hero pushed the blanket against the wound and themselves into the villain at the same time, the villain couldn’t help but moan happily.

The hero’s fingers were gentler and their movements slower than usual. As if the villain was something very delicate.

“This is stupid,” the hero whispered. “Tell me if anything’s wrong.”

But the villain could barely listen. Despite the pulsating wound in their leg, they could only concentrate on the sweet pleasure the hero was giving them. It felt better than expected.

And then the hero leaned over, pressure still on the wound, to kiss them.

The villain had never felt this desired in their entire life. Their heart was pounding in their chest when they felt the hero’s tongue in their mouth.

They didn’t demand anything, they didn’t take anything. It was simple and raw pleasure that the hero gave them. As if they’d been waiting for this.

“You’re so stupid, do you know that?” the hero whispered against the villain’s skin when they had to catch new air.

“Oh, I—” The villain couldn’t even form a sentence. Their enemy was hitting good spots constantly. Instinctively, they reached for the hero’s neck to pull them closer.

“Promise me to tell me next time, got it?” the hero asked. They planted a trail of kisses down the villain’s throat and sucked on their skin softly.

“If you treat me like this again,” the villain answered between moans. They couldn’t think anymore. It felt better than it should have.

It felt good enough to fall in love.

The villain wanted to hate them for it. For their gentleness and their sweet voice but all the villain had on their mind was their nemesis on top of them.

“Every night, if you want to,” the hero promised. They smiled against the villain’s skin.

“I love you,” the villain mumbled. They hadn’t realised it. They wouldn’t even remember it.

But the hero would remember. And it was all they could think about for the next few months.

Gyomei-

See how you were married to a literal giant other men didn’t really approach you, due to Gyomei’s intimidating demeanor. That doesn’t mean you weren’t approached at all, some men were cocky enough to ignore your husband and shoot their shots at getting with you. As you and Gyomei were walking around a market to buy ingredients for a recipe you wanted to make for your guys third year wedding anniversary a stranger met your eyes. You gave him a polite smile and walked to a booth for spices, Gyomei had walked over the the butchers booth to pick up pork, the strange man saw that as his chance to approach. “Hey where do your guard dog go?” He asked with a menacing grin, “Uhh. Oh my husband? He’s right over there” you say pointing at your mountain of a man. Ignoring your obvious disinterest the man grabs your waist and puts his face next to your ear and whispers “I could make you forget your husband,” you keep a calm composure while trying to escape the man’s grasp “please let me go, I’m happily married,” you mutter feeling embarrassed and ashamed that you couldn’t fight back. The man’s smile dropped when he heard a deep voice behind him “I think she told you to get off. Now remove your hands off my wife.” As the man’s grip loosened you ripped your body away and stood next to Gyomei. He gently grabs your hand, glares at the man sternly, and walks off while asking if he hurt you. Once you two got far enough from the market you stop walking and apologize “I’m sorry I couldn’t get rid of him, I tired but he wouldn’t leave me alone.” The anger melts off his face “Oh love, I’m not mad at you at all, I’m mad at him. I feel horrible you had to go through that, don’t ever think that I’m mad at you, I love you my dear.” And with that he kisses you cheek and carries you home bridal style.

Tengen-

Tengen was out on a mission and would be getting back soon, typically you would hangout with your fellow wife’s but they were all out on a mission together. You had no idea what time Tengen would be back today so you went out to train, when you finished your workout a few hours later and began to walk home you ran into Tomioka “Oh hello Tomioka! What are you doing this evening?” You ask with a smile, he gazes at you for a second before responding quietly “I was going to make tea and mochi. You stood there for a second feeling more lonely than ever “Would you like to come to my estate and join me for tea?” Tomioka responded by nodding quickly and following you to your home. After a bit of tea and snacks you and Tomioka were chatting about recipes and your shared dislike for Sanemi’s anger issues he could yell at me all day long till you heard the door slam open as Tengen runs over to scoop you up in a protective hug. He stops in his tracks holding you above the ground, with a glare rested on his face, “What on EARTH. Are you doing in my house with my wife Tomioka?” He sneered out, Tomioka simply gets up and leaves, feeling Usui’s hateful stare. He finally sets you down and looks around “So, why was he in our house? With you? Alone?” He asks, clearly annoyed “Uzui Tengen! He just came over for tea, you were incredibly rude to him for nothing. You know he likes to chat with me occasionally.” You snap out with a stern expression. Your husband hangs his head in defeat “Uzui if you don’t go apologize to him right now, you will be in so much trouble, but not only with me but also with Makio, Suma, and Hinatsuru,” you commanded while tapping your foot on the ground “Ok my dear, I will go apologize in a minute,” he says as he leans down to kiss you “I missed you” he smiles “I missed you too love, now go apologize.”

Rengoku-

Typically Rengoku is very level headed when it comes to men coming on to you, but his close friend? Oh heck’s no he was pissed. You were over at Tengens to hangout with his wife’s while Rengoku and Tengen trained together, as they walked into the kitchen with you all Tengen looks at you and turns to Rengoku “You got lucky with this one, I should make her my fourth wife,” he smirks. Rengoku tries to keep his composure spitting out “Uh nope she’s married to me, she’s all mine.” Uzui enjoyed seeing rengoku bother and decided to tease him a bit more, he moves close to you and grabs you chin and says “Choose girly, be my fourth wife or stay with flame boy over here” as he points at Rengoku you can see his already fake smile drop. He stomps over and shoves Tengens shoulder “hey back off. Y/N is my wife and you already have three so back off. We are leavening right now.” With that he takes you by the hand and speed walks right back home. He doesn’t let you out of his grasp for the rest of the night, your nightly shower? He joined you, sitting on the couch? His head was rested on your thighs, at night? He holds you close to his chest, legs entangled while he rests sleepy kisses on your head periodically till he drifts to sleep.

Sanemi-

Sanemi was a good husband, but a busy one too. You wanted to train a bit but he was out already so you went to your next best option. Rengoku was happy to train with you, as you began to run out of energy he pinned you ending the spar. Unfortunately this happened to be when Sanemi came back from his run “HEY! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOONG WITH MY WIFE KYOJURO?” He yelled rengoku quickly gets off you and your head whips to where Sanemi is, watching as he bounds forward. He snatches you up and practically sprints home, “Darling would you slow down?” You pant out tired from trying to keep up with him he ignores your pleas and keeps running while you give up and decide to walk and meet him later. Once you finally make it home you find your angry husband, “have a nice run?” You asked sarcastically he sighs loudly and looks at you, face red and puffy, “were you crying?” Your sarcasm dissolves as you quickly move over. Grabbing his face you press quick kisses all over his face “What’s wrong?” He holds you tightly “Why didn’t you go home with Kyojuro? I was clearly interrupting you two,” your heart sinks as you whisper “oh darling we were just training don’t worry, I love you and only you,” You say as you go in for a kiss

Obanai-

Obanai was perched in his tree watching you go around a chat with the other Hashira, you were planning on how you were gonna tell Iguro about your pregnancy with Gyomei. As Obanai is watching you feel sees Gyomei put both hands on you stomach and can feel the blue growing in the back of his throat, he hops down from his tree and swats at Gyomeis massive hands. “Get you hands off of my wife!” He snaps, you giggle a little as you watch your short husband get snarky with a much older and taller man “Love calm down he didn’t mean anything by it,” you laugh out loud. “Why was he even touching you? Especially your stomach that’s weird!” He whisper yells while watching Gyomei walk off “Obi that’s cause I’m pregnant,” he slowly turns around and looks you up and down “Your what?” He asks shock written on his face even though you can only see the top half of it. You giggle as he picks you up and spins you around and kisses you.

Giyuu-

Tomioka had been very distant lately skipping your nightly dinners and ignoring your requests to spar together. He was clearly upset about something but would never tell you what happened, you ended up having to spar with Rengoku because of Giyuu’s unusual coldness towards you. You were in the middle of fighting as Tomioka walks in and stared blankly, as you both stop and stare back he turns around and leaves, slamming the door shut. You excuse yourself quickly and chase after him yelling “ TOMIOKA! What’s wrong? Talk to me!” For once he talks back snapping out “what’s wrong? Oh maybe my WIFE spending more time with an orange peel than me,” you stare at him blankly processing what he says. “A orange peel?” You let out a giggle “are you jealous?” His face grows a shade of pink comparable to bubble gum, “you have nothing to be jealous over I love you and only you”

Vaggie is the hot vampire to Charlie’s goofy puppy werewolf and I stand by this always

you live in a world where vampire Vaggie has to drag her gf down by bowtie to reach her neck for snack time and THAT is a Nice Place to be (probably especially for Charlie)

gods do some meta... have vamp Vaggie think werewolves are like in the modern horror movies all rah rah moonlight bite transform pain eat ppl, and then she meets Charlie, and it's more like meeting an ACTUAL wolf who just HAPPENS to be kinda demonic and fully capable of eating ppl, this cuddly social fluffball who's tail won't stop wagging and vamp Vaggie (maybe ex demon hunter turned vamp after she let a dying kid demon feed on her?????) is just like

"I've known Charlie the self-proclaimed moon-moon Moringstar for only a few days, but if anything happens to her im burning down the world and everyone in it including myself" - "Ahahah! Ok Vaggie but you wouldn't actually do that right?" - "...." - "Vaggie???" - "I won't have to so don't worry about it babe"

meanwhile im over here with werewolf Vaggie, holy hound of heaven sent down every year to fight in hell (al la the testimony of "the Livonian werewolf", Thiess of Kaltenbrun),

im imaginging her getting her wolf pelt RIPPED off her back by werewolf Lute and she hasn't been able to shift since then- Vaggie showing up at the hotel gates as a grey wolf with a missing eye who kinda vampire demon Charlie has NEVER seen before but knows, just from that way it stops and hesitates and holds itself so still watching her so intently just her girlfriend does, that this is Vaggie-

Charlie grinning as she holds out her arms for the wolf to leap into, and you kno what, let's go full heavenly hound route and say Vaggie's a fucking winged werewolf, let's go the same route as that one space movie, her half-shifted form is a woman with wings and sharp canines and

Charlie as the child of Lilith the first vampire and Lucifer a MUCH higher level hound of heaven, she was born partly in wolf mode but still a demon of hell needing to drink mortal blood to stay in mortal realm (au where the hotel's a liminal space both in hell and on earth) and she never took blood from Vaggie before (she fed some of HER blood TO Vaggie to save her from dying when they first met and that means if they finish the blood swap there'll be a permanent two-way CONNECTION until one of them dies so they should prrrrrrobably wait until after the wedd- oh never mind) but now, after the werewolf reveal, she finally DOES nibble the gf, and no on in the hotel gets any rest afterwards bc there's a big deathly white wolf doing zoomies down the hotel halls for the rest of the night XD

My designs for the main 3 numbers!!! (i didnt put x bc i draw him all the time anyway)

Yayy!! Hcs & yapping under cut :3

For all algebraliens:

They have either paws or claws on their hands, their feet area always paws tho (rip One)

They also usually either have a fluffy tail (like four) or a like. line tail? idk what to call it (what One and Two both have) but they r smooth although they can have spikes which are pointyy (One has these, X (not pictured) has some too which resembles barbed wire) (Two's tail is just smooth tho)

They do have a thin layer of fur, it is usually also thicker on their arms than their main body (though sometimes a secondary species can change this). It also gets thicker in the winter! Sometimes algebraliens can have tufts of fur, like Four's heart-shaped tuft (which also has some magenta fur), though it is rare

gender as a concept did not exist for them, since they had no sexes (they reproduce asexually) so they all use all pronouns but the ones who have lived on earth longer sometimes have some that they prefer :3 those r the ones i wrote down but basically just assume a "/any" behind those

Number algebraliens specifically tend to have 2 main colors and the whites of their eyes are colored, they also tend to not really have a secondary species/assigned animal instead having an associated shape :3 though they can have secondary species rarely (ex. my nine is a cat, though he also has a lightning bolt as her shape)

These guys:

One - she/they

Main color is purple-y blue, ik but i had to make it different from four and six also gaty refrence omg periwinkle hahah secondary color is yellow/blue bc it changes omg crazyyy

Motif is crescent moons ofc, the halo is moon shaped and the horns r also supposed to kinda remind u of that

Her horns/halo both glow, but its a softer glow when they turn blue

Two - she/he

Main color is green secondary is purple :3 i think they contrast nice but lmk if its ugly as shit

Motif is circles ik i couldve chosen stars but there is already another green character associated with stars i draw frequently (Vee dw)

Their antennae endpoint ball thingies also glow, she can change how bright the glow is :]

Also shes aroace idc idgaf i see all the two ships as platonic. cry about it (yes this includes both twogaty/gatwo and 2x8 which was literally said to be platonic,, wah wah wah)

Four - actually does not care xd

Main color is blue second is magenta :3 i like contrasting color scheme,, this one idec if ppl think its ugly its fitting but i do like it

I chose hearts for her motif bc mammals have 4 chambered hearts (algebraliens arent mammals but whateverrr) also you can make a heart shape 4 four fingers :) in two different ways!! also it is partially inspired by that one scene in bfb 4

Their design is MY FAV omg i love him sm shes so cool erm yeah

yeah it was hard for me to decide what i wanted to do bc i knew antennae would look ugly for me bc they already have the bnuy ears goin on so i went with whiskers!! and then i put hearts on them :3 i ended up being rlly happy w this design ahudkafsb i hope you love him as much as i doooo,,,

also like i said earlier they do have the Rare! trait of having a tuft of fur and it even fades into magenta omg thats so cool i mostly did it since i knew from far away/in a simlpified form u wouldnt see the tuft but i still wanted to put a heart there so i decided to have it fade like that (even if its not really a "fade" but idk what else to call it xd) so from far away u could still see a magenta heart, like on the chibis

also the heart particles appear when they get happy, this is directly taken from the bfb 4 scene,,, when they get really happy the magic in the particles gets strong enough they become a physical object and they fling off at rlly high speeds >:3

ok lol Fours section was rlly long but i rlly like four shes so silly :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3 :3

[what-if-i-like-my-mechs-older]

(Can't believe I posted two of these today)

Soundwave was getting antsy, he didn't like that it was so late in the Earth day and they weren't back.

Megatron had noticed how he kept checking the computer any time a perimeter interfere had happened only for it to be a shark or dolphin swimming by.

"You know they're both grown bots they can stay out late if they want."

Megatron sighed, stretching out on his couch, he wasn't going to admit that every time Soundwave checked he peeked at the screen to.

"Why don't you go and ask Starscream and Skywarp when their trine mate intends to return him."

The Decepticon leader had barely finished the suggestion when Soundwave got up and immediately left.

"Tsk he really is obsessed, he could have just called them...though...Starscream does have a habit of purposely ignoring calls, so voice messages often have to be left."

He grumbled while flicking to another page of Thundercrackers' story. It was utter garbage, and yet he felt compelled to see what happened next because it was unpredictable.

They were also in need of an energon run, he wondered if their Orion had any peaceful quiet ways they could get energon, after all if he was to stay with them he had to pull his weight to.

Soundwave practically kicked the door in to the seekers quarters.

"SomeBODY ONCE TOLD-"

"Not now Skywarp!"

Starscream snapped getting up to check on the door and bent it back into position.

"What in the pit do you think you're doing? It's unlocked, and I haven't made any attempts on Megatron's life in three weeks. Are you that bored!"

"When is your trine mate returning Orion?"

Soundwave demanded to know, completely ignoring Starscream’s response.

"Oh some one jealous? Jealous that he gave him a device that'd allow him to make himself human sized or human in appearance and not you?"

Starscream smirked , placing a hand on the wall.

Soundwave folded his arms and turned his head up.

"Oh maybe he's jealous because all Optimus does is argue with him, I mean gotta wonder what did your counter part do that was so upsetting that he'd sooner punch you in the play button than bed you."

Skywarp chuckled , wings flittering.

Soundwave knew they were just being shitty on purpose, the way they were posturing, no doubt, protective flock behaviour.

"You can not be sure of that. Who is to say that despite his relationship with Starscream in his Universe, he could not stop thinking of me, that he wanted me and felt guilty for it."

"Oh someone's desperately hoping aren't they, why have a stick in the slag when he can have someone as glorious as me!"

Starscream laughed hand on his chest and definitely posing like one of those beautiful evil anime women when they laugh.

(How else can I explain the pose xD)

Soundwave was not going to rise to the occasion he was better than that.

Didn't mean he wasn't imagining ripping off Starscream’s wings and shoving them up his aft.

"Primus will you two stop acting like sparklings, one he prefers older mechs, have you two even told him by age you're barely older than him? The moment he knows his attraction to any of you apart from Thundercracker might just swim on out the window."

Skywarp went quiet, could that be true???

That made Soundwave feel extremely smug.

"Please as if I care."

Starscream returned only to see Soundwave turn around and face him

"You do, all this bravado about how you're not interested because he'd keep comparing you to that Starscream."

He stepped in closer making Star back up

"You're insecure, you don't want him to compare you because you need to be the best..."

He moved in closer and the seeker stepped back until there was no more space , the wall keeping him in place

"You're afraid that you won't be better than that Starscream and what if others find out that you can't please Optimus like that, what if he thinks you're terrible and then...what if the whole ship hears about it...just another thing to make you a laughing-

Before Soundwave could even finish that sentence he was stopped as a hand grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him only to slam him against the wall.

"Thundercracker, Prime, why are you back!"

Skywarp asked rushing over to them , it'd been Orion who'd grabbed hold of Soundwave, seeing the scene before him and the pained look on Starscream’s face, he wasn't going to let him bully the seeker like that.

Soundwave looked up, his visor cracked but there he was, at least he knew the Autobot was back.

"Go back to Megatron and report to him, that Bumble Bee saw us."

Thundercracker was currently holding onto his stuffed animal in his hand , it looked ridiculously small.

"Did you enjoy your date Orion, you've clearly caused more trouble than you intended to."

Soundwave went to his feet and glanced at Thundercracker

His laugh was well...you've heard that one he does when he fights blaster in G1 , exactly like that.

"Seems you did not get your extra terrestial experience after all. Spike blocked by a Bee how path-"

That was it , Prime had enough, with one swift kick of his foot he got him right between the thighs.

(I love soundwave I promise)

The Decepticon made a sound like a fritzing computer before collapsing.

Skywarp took the initiative to inform Megatron that Bee had seen Thundercracker and Prime on their date and that they should no doubt be expecting a call at some point from the Optimus of their world.

Soundwave however wasn't going to admit it, he actually liked the rough treatment Orion was giving him.

Hello everyone and I apologize for the things I did the past few days, I just realized that reblogging and tagging is not as easy as it seems, and I liked a lot and left it for the past few months so I had a lot to do with it. XD Now that it's over I can get back to my favorite things, so there will be great posts in the coming days. Sorry for the inconvenience.

By the way, just to say that it may be an unpopular opinion, but I really don't like Chibiverse especially how the ducks look there. I really despise it, despite it being cute. It's still a rip-off of the House of Mouse. It's just a simple stupid and simple gimmick by the Disney company. I don't like it and yes, that's my personal opinion.

Also, I recommend everyone to watch Daffy and Porky Movie: "The Day the Earth Blew Up: A Looney Tunes Movie" because after Looney Tunes: Back and Action, the quality of 2D animation is returning and despite the censorship, it is being released in theaters. I watched it in a way and I liked it a lot and I ask you to watch it too, because in this way we are returning to Looney Tunes in a big way. Ketchup Entertainment bought it after sabotage by Warner Bros. management and now is the time to promote it as much as possible, and the movie Coyote vs Acme will also be shown next year, so there is hope. I really don't like how Warner Bros. management treated their own previous products and cartoons, especially Looney Tunes, I have no words.

So support Daffy and Porky Movie especially because of the animators, writers and voice actors who worked on it. That's all I can say.

So boys and girls, we're bringing the ducks back to the main stage!

- Bård Eithun's zines Orcustus issue no. 1 (1991) and no. 2 (1992) covers. Excerpt written by Bård from the beginning of issue no. 2 below

Well, about this black metal thing then... As you probaby have seen, this mag is mostly featuring black metal acts, but before you judge me in one or another way, let me tell you my personal opinion about black metal first. From the first time I came in touch with black metal (Venom that was), I was fascinated by its dark and mystical atmosphere. I didn't pay much attention to bands like Metallica (although they were also something unique back then), but as I, from the age of 9-10 yeare old, have been attracted by the dark and the mysterious, it was only natural for me to feel some sort of connection to this music form (I later realised it wasn't only a music form, but also a lifestyle), and till the day today, I still feel it the same way, so it kinda hurt my feelings for black metal when people tell me I'm just another trendy guy (because I listen to black metal), but basically I don't care about what other people say, because I'm doing my own thing (and on the other hand, most people on this earth are simply jerks, so I don't care anyway), and if there is someone out there which cannot accept that this mag is mostly dedicated to black metal bands, so fuck off! I don't need the opinion of any trendy death metal jerk-head, so don't even think of write me, and say how much you dislike it, cause I won't pay any attention to it anyway (it'll only be a waste of postage), but I'm always open for critic from true and honest people around the world (that doesn't necessarily mean black metal freaks), so keep in touch!

At the end I would suggest you to not do any business with that sucker Evil Ludo from France. He have ripped me and several others off, by not return what we ordered. I suppose he's a medical sensation, as I didn't know it was physical or psychical possible to live without a brain. [XD]

What's more to say then…? I hope you'll at least find something of interest in this mag, and as I said earlier, I hope all true and honest people get in touch…

I find peace when I'm dead, Bård G. Eithun.

(this pic has nothing to do with the zines i just thought this emo pic of bård would go well with the yap session) ૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა

Completely forgot to post this while the push was going on, but last month I ended up doing the reverse push header for Earth Flight- Exaltapult 2023, where we catapulted our dragons over to Shadow flight XD Very fun to draw, rip my poor wildclaw model for the main dragon.

Sunday Sickness question for you on a Thursday:

For Isaiah, Rip, Dylan, Hector, Keiran: what kind of relationships/friendships did they have when they were younger? As in, before things changed because of wolf and other drama. For each of them, who is the closest to being "their person" right now?

Wonderful cute questions, Lis, thank you ^^

Isaiah - when he was younger he had Marek, one of the leading Wolfson families heirs with the ability to tell lies apart. Marek was older and one of the few who Isaiah couldn't lie to. He was killed off during a mission. Then there was Reuben, the Jäger family heir (before he got kidnapped by Isaiah's dad and imprisoned out of madness that Isaiah had to stop and then deal with). There were also Shawn and Roy, fellow wolf pups, Shawn from the Minz family and Roy from a smaller but ambitious pack. They were pretty close as kids and drifted more apart with Isaiah keeping everything secret to hide his father's madness. They respect each other a great deal and ally together in wolf community decisions.

Closest to closest person to Isaiah is hard XD Matt used to be emotionally, Rip is currently in wolf bussiness and mentorship. Seline intellectually and romantically but with lots of distance.

Rip - didn't have many friends growing up, he was the only wolf in their small town and it was isolating and scary, after his shadow came up (pretty early, around 8 already). But before his shadow manifested, he liked big groups of people and could get competitive. He and his sister Annabell and little brother Ryan were also pretty close - they would run away into the fields together to get a break from the family drama.

His closest person is Dylan, though he looks up to and is starting to really respect Isaiah outside the "necessary evil to stay alive" position.

Dylan - the popular kid in every school & grade. The class clown. Every city and every address, from Slovakia to Austria, you can bet he had friends and close-knitted groups of them. It's harder to keep in touch now that they all went to different high schools and jobs, but him being a wolf was never a problem with his human friends. Very little wolf friends though.

Despite having lots of good and nice friends who kept in touch even during his depressive phases, his closest friend is Rip.

Hector - he was a competitive and angry will go through bodies to get what he wants kid, even when growing up. He had a couple followers, but he can't stand dishonesty and manipulation and his shadow, skills and name are big temptations for leeches. He settled on Arnie and his current second, Delaney. Delaney is a rare female wolf, which casts her out, but has a very down-to-earth and spicy attitude and can deal with Hector's explosiveness.

Not sure how we define closeness here. The one who spends most time at his side during wolf bussiness is Delaney. Arnie knows him the best. Olive is the closest to his heart rn with how smitten he is, but he also keeps stuff and future problems from her.

Kieran - charming and daring personality. He was actually pretty good at making friends as a child, wolves or humans, you name it. It was later that his friends realised he was not getting a shadow (they can manifest anytime between 6-12 and late bloomers are common) and started to drop him one by one. The smarter or manipulative ones didn't, so Kieran is surprisingly well-connected for a human. He can make the best of the Grey pack family name, even now.

His person is def Alessia. He used to be close with his older brother Oscar, before the latter started getting funny ideas about responsibility as a wolf heir and they drifted apart mainly on ideological differences. Kieran loves Theo and works hard on making him a happier and more free wolf than Oscar turned out to be. But Alessia is his closest and most trusted person.

Notions of a Madman... an aftermath.

I hope you don't mind @croissantlover24 I wrote a very little story of my version of an after story for your amazing fic Notions of a Madman. I needed jus a little more closure but I didn't change the outcome (unfortunately TwT) alt title notions of a sad man XD

Go read their story first SPOILERS AHEAD you have been warned! no actually this will probably ruin everything.

You didn’t forgive him…

How could you forgive him? He can’t even forgive himself. You just... just like that... no.. you can’t be gone… you can’t. Can you? Humans are just so fragile… he’d almost forgotten you were one of them, was that it? His mistake?

You… there was so much he wanted to show you, so many projects to work on with you, so many more times to make you jump… he loved teasing you like that... maybe he could have made you laugh one day? a real heartfelt laugh, or smile, if his machine worked you could have been happy as his assistant, forever.

He stares into the distances blankly as the ring of the monitor fills his robotic ears. 

Doctors and nurses rush in to do the last checks making sure there really was nothing they could do to reverse his fatal mistake and then they finally and officially pronounce your death.

Their looks of disgust usually unfazed him but... He didn't mean to… it really was an accident… no one will ever belive him, nor do they care... he didn't want to hurt you, he wasn't proud of this; And for once he wasn't fasinated by death or the blood and brains that had littered his Laboratory.

How on earth could he expect you to forgive him? 

Why couldn’t these useless doctors do their damn job right?! If he had more time, you could learn to forgive him, he could do more tests and fix his machine… everything could be ok? better then ok, it could be perfect.

If only he had done more tests to begin with. If only he had done more calculations. more work, something anything. If only you weren’t scared. If only you didn’t want to leave. If only... she hadn’t…

He scowls at the woman… her arms crossed like she both has no worries at all and the whole world weighing her shoulders down all at once. 

“This is your fault!” he screamed. “If YOU hadn’t scared them this would have never happened. They would still be here! They would still be mine."

“Keep telling yourself that.” she just turned and started walking. “It’s never an accident with you.” she mumbled as she left.

“IT WAS! FOR ONCE...for once it... It actually... it really was…” he sobbed.

If it wasn’t for the handcuffs holding him back he would have followed her and ripped her head off himself, it would be about time; he thought to himself. He should have tested that darn machine on her.

If only things went differently. 

The room was now empty, they had wheeled you out as he sat there cuffed to a chair that was bolted to the ground. As soon as your monitor went blank Vanessa and her officers had secured him down. He probably could just escape if he had the energy... the want.

You were his only friend. He would give everything to go back to the day you met, on that… was it a fall day? the sanguineous colored leaves falling from the trees… his stupid sign that actually worked… if he could do things just a little difrently... Wait! Next he could make a time machine and go back and fix it all!

No… Who is he kidding, where would he get the parts for that without his gullible little lamb? 

It took a moment but he’d actually given up. There was nothing else to do. No way to fix this.

Vanessa had all the evidence she needed... and had him transported to a high security prison where he could rot until the end of time. He would never forgive himself as long as you would never forgive him, and you were dead so how could he ever change your mind now? Unless? No you really were gone. He forgets that sometimes, a wish maybe or simply delusion, he sometimes belives he's still in his lab asking you to pass him this or fetch him that, maybe he really is a madman? or maybe he always was...

;;;;;;;;;;;; (atla)

I have questions 😂

ABSOLUTELY. this is one of the first fic ideas i ever wrote, so...it might be bad XD. i think it was intended to be a longfic, but i never got around to writing it (not that i've actually published anything i've written yet lmao), so it's just a bunch of weird, half-formed ideas smushed together in a semblance of plot at this point.

fair warning, i have a weird writing style in my wips, so it might be hard to read/understand. sorry in advance.

It’s Jinko bitch

So Zuko and Jin are doing the cool dating thing

And he realizes that he like

Really likes her?

And thinks she’s beautiful?

And is the sweetest person alive and he would really like to give her the moon?

So he’s trying to figure that out

Meanwhile she’s just waiting for him to stop trying to convince her that he’s not a fire bender

Cause like

She’s not blind or stupid

She saw that shit at the light fountain or whatever it was called

So finally he tells her he’s a fire bender

And then the rest of it slowly starts to come out

He starts with his real name

And then his uncle’s name

And then the fact that he’s banished

Next that he has a sister

Then how the Fire Lord gave him his scar

And that he was raised in a …noble family

Aaaaaaand eventually she just figures it out

So then she knows about him

He’s hopelessly in love with this sweet, ridiculous, funny, and completely untamed girl that’s completely different from anything he’s ever known

And makes him feel like he can forget about his honor and his shame

And just relax into his body without remembering its blemishes

And she’s starting to realize that he’s adorable

Like

He’ll give her the strangest things

Like a rock that’s shaped like a sheep-pig

Or a spiky plant that she can loop around her ear like a piece of jewelry when she looks at earrings neither of them can afford

Or a piece of scrap paper that matches the shade of her eyes

And so she’s reconciling the fact that this earnest, painfully awkward sweetheart is the Prince of the Fire Nation

And then she finds out how he got his scar and things start making a lot more sense

And so then she falls in love too

And they’re both ridiculously sweet and adorable and there’s lots of fluff for a while

And then

Of course

The Earth King invites the Jasmine Dragon to serve him tea

And whoopdidoo, Azula’s here

Marvelous

So everybody does the normal escape thing

But instead of going after Azula he thinks about Jin

And how she’s going to get caught in the crossfire of whatever shit is going down here

So he runs home and packs up his shit and starts banging on her door

And is like, yo Jin we gotta go my little sister’s here

And she rips open the door and says something like, the psychopathic one who’s been trained to bring down governments for years and pushed you off a roof when she was six?

And he’s like, that’s the one

And she’s just goes, shit, gimme a sec and grabs her essentials and gets ready to skedaddle

She’s alone in Ba Sing Se by the way

Haven’t decided if she just left her family behind or if they’re dead

But we don’t have to worry about them for now

So Zuko runs back to the palace with Jin in tow

And tries to get Uncle to leave with him

But he’s like, no, my dear nephew

You have made the choice on this crossroads

I could not be more proud of you

But I must stay to right the wrongs my brother has inflicted on the world

But with 100% more proverbs

So they say a tearful goodbye

Zuko tells Uncle to give Azula a chance, because she’s fourteen

And Uncle runs off into the catacombs and Zuko and Jin book it the fuck out of there

So they’re on the road for a bit

And do all sorts of Blue Spirit-y stuff

He teaches her how to fight

And she teaches him how to survive in the wilderness, something that he definitely couldn’t do beforehand

Like, she knows how to hunt

And fish

And skin kills

And he’s like, how do you know this with stars in his eyes

And she just looks at him and says, I was raised in a village on the outskirts of a forest, not sheltered in royal life like you sweetie

Now cut the loose skin over the shoulder blades, there’s a dear

So they survive like that

As it turns out, having a royal fire bender as a heat pack on cold nights beats curling up under a blanket and shivering

Cool, cool

Zuko: Do I get a say in this?

Jin, attached like Velcro to his back: No, now shut up and be my blanket

Eventually they find a town on the outskirts of the Earth Kingdom where people don’t blink at kids with golden eyes

And start to relax

They become artisans

Or something

Because the fandom has decided that Jin is an artist and I’m on board with that

So they sell her art

And Zuko does odd jobs around everywhere

Considering that he has like, the biggest skill set in the history of the world

Food service? Check

Rock climbing? Check

Manual labor? Check

Experience on ships?

Experience with ostrich horses?

Experience with murder?

Check, check, check

So they’re doing fineeeee

And like

We get through all their awkward stages

Zuko realizes he likes this life a lot better than anything he got in a royal palace

They receive word the war has ended, and Fire Lord Iroh has named Azula his heir after getting her the help she needed

They get married

A healthy dosage of marital bliss and domestic life

They have kids

After a long time don’t freak out

And then we get a little Gaang interlude where Katara asks Uncle whatever happened to his nephew

And Uncle just smiles and says something along the lines of, well, the girls in Ba Sing Se were always so pretty

And everyone is just like "wut"

But he provides no more context

They get it out of him eventually

Zuko decides he needs to see his old home again

Just to give himself closure

Jin agrees and tells him to come back soon, because we have two young children and I cannot be responsible for them more than pushing them out of my body

You’re the kid person here

Zuko: yes dear

So Iroh’s taking a break from all the Fire Lord-ness and playing Pai Sho with some old buddies

And a shadow falls over the board in between games

And this man, who holds himself so loosely and confidently

With smile-lined eyes and shaggy black hair hanging around his face and green clothes and work torn hands

And a faded burn scar over one eye

Asks him to a game of Pai Sho

And Iroh smiles wide enough to split his face

And accepts

...so please keep in mind that i only write wips for my eyes XD. it's not pretty or particularly eloquent, but i PROMISE i can write better than this lmao.

yaaaaaay

[a-dauntless-daffodil]

Something that I couldn't put into words but now I can about the Chaggie conflict in "Rosie" and one other reason it hurt: Charlie questioning Vaggie's loyalty. Yes, I know it wasn't because of Vaggie's origin but because of the lie itself but still hurts and clearly hurt Vaggie - she has been nothing but loyal and honest in Charlie's dream and has only ever done 1 lie in all of that. And when it's revealed, Charlie is now questioning everything - Again, I understand but it still hurts. And I know this might be redundant, I WANT this moment to come back again in S2. I don't know how but I want Vaggie to admit how angry/hurt it made her that Charlie questioned the loyalty she has given without asking for anything. What do you think?

i don't think Vaggie was even slightly angry with Charlie until her girlfriend made a magically binding pact with an unrepentant serial killer the second Vaggie wasn't looking XD

......we're asking a bit much by expecting the woman who hates and judges herself over her own mass murderer past... to then be upset that her girlfriend was also hurt and angry about that and reacted badly to randomly having all that dropped out of the clear blue sky in the middle of an already terrible day...

so in that ep got the vibe Vaggie spent the entire time feeling sick and guilty over the whole thing tbh. As usual

(and her feeling very very not good about seeing Alastor getting all creepy mentor with a Charlie who just got a wedge driven between her and her main emotional support- im 100% sure Vaggie's "Charlie can we talk-?" following Alastor's "good girl" thing was her wanting to know EXACTLY what deal her gf just made with Alastor and what the hell she was thinking and charlie are you sure Vaggie can't just stab him a little as a warning-)

But Vaggie, she's also not really uh. Not got a good track record of wanting or letting Charlie know about her feeling bad about stuff, emotions wise. Even when Charlie is right next to her reaching out. That's not her thing???

ah what the hell tangent time

like one big reason Vaggie DIDN'T fess up her past to Charlie was her being scared Charlie would be hurt by it and actually hate her for having done that, because Vaggie is being hurt by her past and hates herself for having it (re: every time she's called angels like herself deranged), so even though the blackmail against her made NO real sense and Adam's threat was just him not understanding that someone (charlie) could ACTUALLY believe in redemption for LITERALLY anyone (she does), it still pinged Vaggie's fear right in the heart, making the stuff like how Charlie is letting a known serial killer live in the hotel and help out with her and Vaggie's dream go RIGHT out the window-

(to be fair from Vaggie's pov there's probably a BIG difference between ending someone's mortal life on Earth (a la normal sinner seral killers) and presumably destroying their entire soul forever (re: exorcists) so like, that's kinda fair, but it still doesn't include how Charlie is WILLING TO WORK WITH AND THINK THE BEST OF HEAVEN AND THE EXORCISTS ANYWAY which is WHY she thought going to heaven to talk with them could work in the first place)

(to be extra fair it doesn't MATTER how much Vaggie trusts Charlie bc Vaggie had body parts ripped off and her eye permanently gouged out and was abandoned in hell by someone ELSE she use to trust once and THAT means really trusting people not to hate or abandon her is gonna take her putting some more blame on Adam and Lute and co and less on herself, because as long as she focuses on what SHE did (murderer) to make all this happen TO herself (filth like you doesn't deserve-) she's never gonna fully get that what happened to her was a choice shit people made (let's exterminate ppl for fun! let's rip off our comrade's wings and eye without hesitation!!!), one they didn't have to make, one she didn't make for them- meaning non-shit people like Charlie probably won't do that to her, actually, bc people like Charlie will care about Vaggie as a person outside of her being useful or being exactly what is wanted. Like how Charlie was more worried about Vaggie at the end of ep 3 than anything else and wouldn't let Vaggie blame herself and was fine with things being hard as long as she and Vaggie could face them together. Like how Charlie was calmed in the More Than Anything reprise not by Vaggie promising to fix everything but by Vaggie saying Charlie is important and wonderful to HER)

if anything Vaggie might be upset if she found out Charlie had less of a problem with the Exorcist thing than with the lying thing

If you (Vaggie) think you still need to EARN redemption, then having someone say your sins don't bother them so much can ironically make you panic and either think they're lying to you OR it can make you worry you've downplayed what you've done and are somehow tricking the person you love into believing you're a better person than you actually are and therefor might be taking advantage of them, which of course you don't want to do because you love them, which is a pretty big contradiction you probably won't notice is there

Sooooo i could see Vaggie spiraling into something like THAT but,

her be angry at Charlie for being upset over the thing Vaggie hates about herself? the mental health levels aren't good enough for that one yet XD

basically both Vaggie and Charlie got to live through the very fun experience of being trapped in your own head and trauma

anyway, the fact that Charlie didn't ask or want or LET Vaggie do an apology for any of that at the hotel gates says more than enough for me, for both of them. Just like with Vaggie putting her own fear and self-loathing onto Charlie, most of Charlie's pain in that ep didn't come from Vaggie's past or Vaggie's lie.

I've said Charlie's bad at figuring out what she's feeling and ep 7 is where it really bit her in the ass- she got hit with an identity crisis (turns out the one person who always believes in her didn't trust her enough to tell her this) (this on top of the epic fail of their shared dream to save sinners from extermination and the looming destruction of the hotel that represents that dream) and trauma trigger (what if Vaggie lied about all of that too, what if she never really loved or had faith in Charlie, what if Charlie is going to be alone again) without understanding that's what was going on or that it was something coming from herself as much as from Vaggie.

Being away from Vaggie didn't reduce Charlie's stress during that ep, it made it worse, until Rosie had to yoink her in for an emergency counseling session. Before that Charlie vents about how she told Vaggie everything and shared everything with her (the exorcist thing gets a TINY throwaway mention it is NOT the focus here) and when you add the lie revelation to how Vaggie asked to be alone on the roof in ep 3 instead of letting Charlie be there for her, it stops being about ONE lie TO Charlie, and turns into YEARS of lies ABOUT Charlie's place in Vaggie's life.

Which was terrifying and painful and... went away the MOMENT Charlie realized Vaggie did actual love her and believe in her, and was not actually going to leave her.

If actions mean more than words then their reunion at the hotel gates is them both saying the only thing either of them want to hear- I missed you, i love you, i want to be with you. Here's this horrible souvenir i picked up for your while we were on opposite sides of town and thanks babe im gonna fling myself into your open arms about it.

Vaggie hates herself too much to feel like Charlie owes her an apology for being hurt and angry at the Exorcist lie. It was a pretty big thing to keep hidden

i mean murder aside, Charlie had no idea Vaggie's opinions and advice about heaven was from personal experience, she probably assumed it was just normal sinner bias against the people who kill sinners and not, you know, Vaggie secretly dissing on how terrible her former boss and co-workers used to be. Maybe Charlie would've approached the talking to heaven differently if she'd known. Maybe she would've tried strangling Lute's hologram in ep 1. we will sadly never know

we DO know that Vaggie ran to hug Charlie right after the secret was revealed, which means Vaggie was mainly worried about Charlie being hurt by it, which doesn't really leave a lot of room for Vaggie to be upset at Charlie when Charlie does turn out to be hurt by it

so Vaggie wanting an apology from Charlie? I see her more wanting a very, very, VERY long hug

but if Charlie ever tries giving an apology anyway (a la the balcony scene in ep 3), that might just freak Vaggie out and fuck her up with "oh no my gf doesn't understand how bad the things i've done are am i tricking her am i using her would she be better off without me" issues for the foreseeable future ^w^;
