#Repossession got me mad

[im-totally-not-an-alien-2]

"Hello." A dull thwack sound reverberated across the rooftop, leaving the boy who snuck up on Red Robin clutching his head. The boy, a meta if the large animal ears and tail were anything to go by, shook off the pain and pouted up at him, "What was that for?!"

The vigilante was unrepentant, holding his bo staff in a ready position, "You snuck up behind a vigilante at night. In Gotham."

"Okay," the meta conceded, still pouting. "You have a point there. Robin threw ninja stars at me when I tried to approach Batman."

That got Tims attention, "You tried to approach Batman? Was there something you needed?"

The kid suddenly got serious, "My mom went missing. I haven't been able to contact her for almost two weeks now."

Red pulled his arm closer to his face before he began typing on his wrist computer, "Can you tell me her name and date of birth?"

"Um." The other teen fidgetted with his tail a bit, "Okay, so...she's kinda Cheetah."

"...come again?"

"She's Cheetah. The...the supervillian."

Red Robin stared at him, and honestly who could blame him? The bats hadn't even known Cheetah had a son. "So why are you in Gotham? Why not ask Wonder Woman for help? Cheetahs one of her rogues not ours."

The teen shook his head, "She went to meet someone in Gotham before she disappeared. She seemed really agitated before she left, almost scared. I've never seen her like that before." He paused, giving the vigilante time to type before continuing, "I didn't go Wonder Woman since I figured I would wind up needing to talk to a bat anyway since its your turf and all." He said, waving a hand as if gesturing to the city around them.

"I wasn't aware Cheetah had a kid."

The meta grimaced, "she didn't until a year ago."

Red gave him a look, as if urging him to go on.

The meta chuffed, sounding a lot like whatever big cat he was supposed to be, "I'll only tell you my tragic backstory if you promise to help me find my mom."

"I'll find your mom." The bird said without an ounce of hesitation. Tim was a little offended. Did this guy think he was going to leave his mom in danger just because she was a criminal? Appearently so, seeing as the teen looked so relieved at his words.

"Okay, so my bio parents were evil mad scientists. Always a bad start, anyway they were obsessed with the occult and one day they suddenly took me and my sister to Brazil to hunt for some artifact of another. That alone was strange but weirder still was the fact my creepy godfather was paying for it all. He usually only does something like that when he's plotting "

"Plotting?" The detective interjected, "you make it sound like he does that often."

"Yeah. Hes a supervillian." The meta said casually, as if he didn't just leave Tim reeling, but the kid wasn't done yet, "He's had a massive crush on my bio mom since collage and never let it go no matter how many times she rejected him. She even married my dad, his best friend, and this dude just kept simping for 20 years." The teen rolled his eyes, "Hes convinced himself that if he murders my bio dad then my bio mom will fall in love with him and me and jazz will be "his"." He said that last part with fingerqoutes and a disgusted expression.

Tim filed that away for later, "Can I have his name, if nothing else?"

The teen seemed reluctant for a moment, "You're the worlds greatest detectives. You'll find out even if i try to hide it. Besides, I'd probably be better off if you and the Justice League know everything anyway."

Tim was...surprised by that. Most people usually weren't this open with them.

"His name is Vlad Masters, he also goes by Plasmius when he's dressed like a wannabe vampire. He's a ghost who's repossessed his corpse. My parents are Jack and Maddie Fenton, who are obsessed with ghosts and have convinced themselves that all ghosts are evil and must be destroyed, regardless of how much evidence points to them being wrong."

"And your name?"

The meta grinned at him, showing off four very sharp fangs, reminiscent of the large cat he takes after, "You can call me Jaguar. We were exploring a bit when I broke off from my family and got jumped by one of them. Suddenly I was struck by a claw and turned into furry bait. Fluffy stopped trying to make me his lunch and just stared at me before walking away, which was wierd. Then my parents found me, accused me of being a ghost, because thats naturally what someone would assume when thier son sprouts cat ears," he said while rolling his eyes.

"Naturally." Red joked, which had the benefit of making Jaguar smile.

"So my parents chased me through the jungle, shooting all the while, then suddenly a portal opened up in front of me. I'm not stupid, I know there was no way this wasn't a trap. I mean, a portal opening up right after that bizarre series of events and its the same shade of glowing green as the wierd death go my parents are obsessed with? There's no way they weren't related somhow, but I was desperate and jumped through anyway."

"I landed in another jungle, or the same one in a different location, I'm not sure. I tried hunting and foraging but wasn't very successful at either." Danny still remembered the throbbed in his head when he had headbutt that tree after missing his pounce on that pig he had been stalking. "Thats when Cheetah found me. She took me in and taught me to hunt and fight."

-----

Possible plot twists:

1. Danny isnt Phantom in this au

2. Danny is Phantom in this au but is trying to leave that life behind

3. My favorite. Danny has the ability to manipulate and control animals into doing his bidding with the effect of jaguars and other big cats being the most prevalent and he just doesn't realize it.

One of Cheetahs friends/allies realizes cheetah has changed and suspected something and convinced her to leave for a while to see if her care for this kid faded after a while away from his presence. It works and Danny loses another parental figure/possibly attacked by them too.

~ SWTD: Still Here AU Part 9: ~

When the Walls Crumbled:

This is it. The long awaited Murine/Muirinnes chapter.

Fun fact: This is my first ever romance piece I've done for any fan-fiction. So, I have no idea if this is good or not.

Another fact: I had already completed this chapter before chapters 7 and 8. This was going to be chapter 7, but I had to map out a timeline when I decided this was going to be a mini-arc, and not a time-jump to post-rescue. Plus, during that time, I decided not to have military involvement. What I have instead you'll soon see.

Tw: Parental abuse and gambling.

Part 10:

Innes couldn't sleep. He found himself staring at the container ceiling. Drool ran down the chin, which only momentarily snapped him out of his daydream. Then right back to it. He tried, but no amount of tossing or turning was helping. Even when he was leaned against Muir, he found no comfort. A quick check from his watch showed it was 2:15am.

'Maybe some fresh air will help?' He asked himself.

With a quick glance at Muir, seeing him sleeping peacefully, Innes carefully moved from his side and made it for the door. He'll go outside, sit at the railing, and have a smoke to himself. Or he would do that if a tendril didn't wrap around his waist. Of course, Muir was secretly awake the entire time. Sneaky little shit. Innes accepted defeat with a deflated sigh and turned to see Muir lift him up and place him in front of his face.

'I thought you were asleep.'

Muir ignored the empty statement.

'Innes, what's wrong?' Because he could sense something. His heartbeat wasn't normal, and he felt it sink at the question. Then there were his eyes. For hours, Innes has had a hurt look in them. Even when he cheered for Brodie and Finlay, and when gorged on the leftovers, the look was still there. Plus, even if they've been practically inseparable, Innes couldn't bring himself to look Muir in his. Even now, Innes was clearly looking through him. 'It's okay. You know it'll be okay.'

Words filled and drowned Innes' mind.

'Stupid boy. You deserve this. How can you look at yourself? Stop being a fucking idiot!'

The words Innes would hear from his father and he'd repeat them as self-punishment.

'Don't cry. You're not a man if you cry!'

He wanted to, but a part of him was always afraid to. He feared his father would find out, even over a hundred miles away and being 6 feet under. That man left a mark that was hard to scrub off. No luck. Even Innes had a breaking point. Tears began to fall, and Muir began to wipe them away.

'Why aren't you mad at me?' A lump formed in his throat, and his heart began to race. 'I left you alone. I just ran whilst you turned into,' he gestured to Muir's exposed ribs. 'This. I'm your supervisor. I'm supposed to look out for you. You said that yourself!' He paused to catch his breath, but to no avail. 'I'm so sorry, Muir.'

The guilt had been eating away at him. Since he heard Muir calling out for him in distress. Even if no one could blame him, Innes' heart felt heavy, and he wanted to be sick. In his mind, because of him, Muir will never be human again. His body blew open and turned inside out with ribs exposed and flesh crawling along the hard-hat, which was possibly the reason it didn't spread further. He lost his hair, his mouth was stretched on one side, and most of his lips had melted away, half-blind despite having multiple eyes, and his innards hung inches from the floor. It was all his fault. Muir's cry for help will be something he can never forgive or forget.

'Innes, where ya going?!'

'INNNNNEEEEEEEES!'

'Innes? Help me, Innes!'

'Innes? Where's Innes? I just need help, eh?'

How was Muir able to break down the walls he tried so hard to build? What was this man to him? Innes never cried, and yet in one day, he cried over him twice. Not even his ex-wife got him to cry when she left him for someone else. He didn't cry when his house got repossessed through his gambling. And he certainly didn't cry when he heard his dad had passed. A tendril kept wiping his tears away. Muir pulled him closer, and Innes hugged what he could of his face. He didn't want to let go.

The last 3 years raced through his mind. Innes remembered the day he was called up to Rennick's office. At first, he thought it was because he had rolled up his sleeves and pants because of the unbearable summer heat. He wasn't too happy to hear he'd be looking after a newcomer with no prior training, but he did get a bollocking for the uniform.

Muir stepped off the chopper without a single hair out of place or crease in his uniform. Like all new hires, he had brought too much baggage. A backpack and small suitcase. Innes knew more than half of that wasn't going to see the light of day for months. Always amusing to see. He lingered at the steps with crossed arms and a smirk. Rennick introduced himself with that fake yet convincing smile to the untrained eye. In all honesty, Innes thought Muir had brided his way to become a deckhand. How can someone just leave their family farm and instantly work on an oil rig? Still, he grinned and taught Muir everything he could, even if he kept his walls up.

He couldn't tell when they began to crumble, but whenever there was a crack, he would try to mend it. It was exhausting. A fight he had to surrender because as much as he denied it, feelings started to bloom. He hoped they would go overtime, but the opposite happened. Muir's looks, his smell, his laugh, and even his clumsy nature that has gotten the pair in more than enough trouble, just made Innes -

Oh. That's why. Because for the first time in years, Innes was genuinely happy.

'I love you.' He let out a shakey breath and sniffled as he pulled away. The muscles in his neck twitched as he smiled. The hurt look in his eyes was gone, and he could finally look at Muir. His heart continued to race and skip a beat. 'I wished I told you sooner.' He noticed Muir began to cry, but with a smile on the one side of his face. One of pure joy, as if all the problems in the world had washed away. Now, it was Innes' turn to wipe his tears. He'd noticed his right eye was completely open again, and his nose at some point had been put back into shape.

'I've been waiting three years for you to say that.' He stifled a laugh and lightly squeezed Innes' waist. 'I love you too, my big man.'

'I think that's you now.'

'Don't get smart with me.'

The pair shared a mix of laughter and cries. They pulled each other together for another long hug. Innes kissed Muir above his good eye, then at the bridge of his nose, where they placed their foreheads together. They dried each other's tears. Muir moved his head towards Innes to replicate a nuzzle on a part of his shoulder.

It might be the middle of winter, but they felt warm. It was inviting. It was new. It was something they didn't want to let go of, so they stayed like this. Frozen in time.

Roy opened the door. Neither had come for breakfast, so he thought it was best to check up on them. He found the pair huddled together. Tendrils wrapped around Innes like a blanket, except for his arms hugging them in return. Muir lightly snored, stretched, and gently pulled Innes closer.

He was no expert, but Roy could tell. He slowly closed the door and left the pair. What harm would another hour do?

Things I'm Confused About The Bad Guys 2

Hello, I've Just Seen The Bad Guys 2 Trailer On Reddit, So I've Decided To Give Some Cool Things About It!

I Really Love The New Female Criminal's Designs (Although The "Kitty" One Bothers Me, IDK If She's Actually A Cat. She Looks More Like A Puma/Panther Rather Than An Actual Cat, Which Kinds Confuses Me).

I Also Loved The Fact That DreamWorks Gave Snake A Girlfriend To Get Rid Of The FluffyVenom Shippers, That Part Was Hilarious!

I HAVE Some Things About The Bad Guys 2 That Confuses Me Though (Like The Aforementioned Cat), So Here's EVERYTHING I'm Confused About The Bad Guys 2!

5 Years Later?!?!

During The Scene Where Mr. Wolf Is Driving A Poorly Stabled Blue Car, It Says 5 Years Later On It.

This Is The Part That Bothers Me: HOW DID THE BAD GUYS & DIANE NOT AGE?!?! (Yeah, Misty Luggins & Tiffany Fluffit Aged, But Why Didn't The Animals Age??)

This Could Mean That The Bad Guys 2 Takes Place In 2028! Since The First Bad Guys Movie Took Place In 2022, & After They're Released, 2023. So If We Add That:

2023 + 5 = 2028

I Would Be 19 Years Old In That Universe!! Having A Time Gap This Huge Is Wild!! Especially The Fact That All The Animal Characters Didn't Age.

2. Mr. Shark's Voice

During The Scene Where Misty Luggins Is Possibly Spying The Bad Guys By Being An Undercover Cop, Mr. Shark's Voice Is Slightly High-Pitched When He Says This Line:

"Panic Ok, I'm A Panicker!!"

I Have No Idea Why Shark Sounded Like That, But That Voice Was Weird As It Could Get.

3. What's The Mission Associated With The Spaceship?

Apparently, The "One-Last Job" That The All Female Criminal Squad Tasked The Bad Guys With Is Associated With A Spaceship, But Why?

Maybe They Are Stealing It, But That Wouldn't Make Sense According To Confusing Thing #????. Maybe They Are Destroying It, But That Wouldn't Make Sense.

4. Hot Dog Chase

In This Scene In The Trailer, The Bad Guys Are Seen Stealing A Hot Dog Truck. But For Some Reason, Everybody Is Chasing Them (The Trailer Is Low Quality So I Can't Tell If They're Happy Or Mad).

Along With That, Mr. Piranha Is Apparently Stunning Everybody With Ketchup & Mustard Bottles. But It's Exactly Unknown Why They're Chasing The Bad Guys (Probably Because They're Stealing The Truck).

5. Diane Fighting Kitty (For An Unknown Reason)

At 1:30, Diane Is Seen Fighting Kitty For An Unknown Reason, But What For?!?!

Maybe Diane Is Fighting Kitty Because She & Her Friends Made Mr. Wolf & His Gang Steal The Rocket Ship, Or Maybe It's Because Kitty Is Associated With Diane's Tough Past, & Diane Doesn't Want To See Her (Nor Her Friends) Again.

6. Who's Riding The Helicopter?????

In This Scene, Some Unknown Character Is Riding A Helicopter Towards The Rocket Ship, & Tiffany Fluffit Is Confused (Yes, She Aged Up Due To The Look Of Her Hair & Her Outfit Being Blue).

Since We Don't Know Who's Driving The Helicopter It Could Be Either Diane Or Misty (Diane For Realizing That Kitty Made Them Steal The Ship & Misty Because She Saw The Bad Guys Stealing It, & She Tries To Arrest Them ASAP).

7. Why Are They Running?

At 1:40, Mr. Wolf & His Gang Are Running On The Rocket Ship, There Is No Reason On Why Are They Running, But Here's A Few Possible Scenarios:

They've Found Out That The Ship Is Gonna Self-Destruct Itself & They Have To Escape.

The Rocket Ship Started Going Into Space, & The Bad Guys Must Escape.

Unknown Reasons, But It's Possible That The Person Who Is On The Rocket Saw Them & Tries To Catch Them.

8. Where Are They?

During The Scene Where Snake Tells Joy That She's His Girlfriend, The Bad Guy Are In An Unknown Location, I Have No Idea Where They Are, But I Think It's Either Hollywood or Las Vegas (Or Maybe They're Still In Los Angeles lol)

9. Where Are They?? (Part 2, Ignore The Kissing Scene Plz)

At The End Of The Trailer, When Snake & Joy Are Smooching, The Bad Guys (& Joy) Are In An Unknown Vehicle, This Cannot Be Their Car Because It Possibly Got Repossessed or Got Scrapped. However, It's The Hot Dog Truck Since Piranha Is Topless.

9. What Is That Vehicle???

At 1:41, The Bad Guys Are Leaving The Rocket Ship To Jump Into Some Jet (It's Possibly Either Diane Or Kitty's). I Have No Idea What Vehicle Is, But Maybe When The Sequel Comes Out On August 1st We'll Know!

What Do You Think? What Things Confused You In The Bad Guys 2 Trailer?

(I Might Make Part 2 Once Trailer 2 Comes Out)

[characteroulette]

can just complain about 6-2 for a hot minute?

I hate hate HATE that they took a throwaway gag line in 4-4 where Phoenix is like "wait, were there actually MORE APPRENTICES??" and Valant is like "lol no that's dumb" AND THEN DID IT ANYWAY???

excuse me that is just. that makes me mad

also! I don't mind Apollo being afraid of heights, honestly, but like. Phoenix is already afraid of heights and they gave Apollo the new phobia of large bodies of water *why* must we endure Apollo also being *this* terrified of heights??

like the line in AJ has him scared but like. Not THAT scared. He still climbed his ass up there and all!! I do not believe SoJ Apollo would have done that ever. it feels like yet another point where they skimmed more than actually checked AJ's script

and THEN like, why didn't we get Mr. Hat as an evidence??? it would've proven without a shadow of a doubt that there was a goddamn sword up in the balconey!!

for that matter, WHERE'S ALL THE BLOOD?? if that man got stabbed by being zipped up to the roof, then WHERE'S ALL THE BLOOD??? Ema you're our forensics, pLEASE tell me where all this goddamn blood disappeared to!!!

great opportunity of having Trucy in the defendant's seat, totally wasted because all of Apollo's cases have a ridiculous amount of moon logic to them

also I know Reus is an asshole and that's the point, but how the hell did he manage to get everything in the Wright Agency slapped with a "repossessed" label in like less than a day??? I feel like that's the law thing I can't suspend my disbelief about there have to be more checks in place for that sort of thing

I'm also still mad about the whole "see that shadow in the bg that's *obviously* going upwards that we caught on tape?? yeah that's totally Trucy thrusting a sword downwards into the victim as if it could be anything else" like bitch!!!!

I feel so bad for Apollo my bud, my dude, just constantly handed cases that are like "you don't get all the evidence that makes sense, buckle up kiddo" and how much internal screaming he probably does because of it

I feel like it was only this case because, again, Apollo is *always* handed the cases with the most moon logic. dunno why, but it is consistent. he is cursed.

the weirdest thing that happens in later cases (at least, it set me off-balance) was not getting the murder weapons as evidence in your notes, but that's a gameplay thing because, like, not used for any of the puzzles, so why would they give you extraneous pieces of evidence hahaha

AITA for “taking 10 years to turn her back and rescue the kingdom from the Demon King”?

Apparently there’s more than one legendary knight making posts here, so you might remember me specifically from [https://www.tumblr.com/aita-blorbos/727378880118276096/aita-for-rushing-head-long-into-the-world-endling] this post!

This is a continuation of that

It’s been 11 years since I was last here, and I’m happy to announce that now everything’s going a lot better. Mostly. The Demon King (Guy who was putting the kingdom in danger) is dead, for real this time, and I found Cass! She was kinda funny-looking for a while, but she’s okay now. Though she’s a lot angrier with me than she was before, so I think I might’ve really messed up again

For context, I didn’t find Cass on the Great Sky Island when I started my journey (See: Previous post). And I thought she was dead. And since that was a result of me not taking my time and doing everything I was supposed on my last adventure (Even if that wasn’t necessarily my fault like you guys said), I figured I wouldn’t rush straight for the castle this time to make sure that wouldn’t happen again

Which was great, because there were a lot of new things to do all over the place this time around to keep myself occupied. On top of finding everything on the surface that came back from my last adventure, the Demon King's revival opened up pathways to this really huge underground area that I had to fully explore, as well as bringing down a bunch of Sky Islands for me to explore as well. And there were so many more people to help do so many more things

But what Cass is mad at me for is that a lot of problems came from how long I took. The Demon King's forces had a lot of time to attack the lands I wasn’t around to protect so the economy has completely collapsed from the amount of people who aren’t spending money, her house got repossessed because I forgot to pay for it (But in my defense it wouldn’t have mattered that much anyway because capitalism died around year 6 or 7. And she gets to live in my new house now), and I got lonely and started dating P (See: Previous post) in her absence. She thinks I’m heartless because when she asked me whether or not I was ashamed of the deaths of so many innocents being my fault I said no, but I did it because I was the opposite of heartless. I was just doing what I thought she would’ve wanted. There’s nothing to be ashamed of in that… Right?

[caelcstis]

small apologies to anyone who saw me have a whole breakdown on the dash over the weekend

essentially money's always an issue in my house.

rent's bumped up to $1610 but they didn't bump it last year so my mom and i couldn't complain. her car got repossessed late friday night into early saturday morning because my friend and i were out swimming that night and we saw it still there when i was dropped off damn near midnight and i didn't get the dogs back out until 1 am before crashing in bed.

i only just got my permit again, and i have no car because we sold mine when i was like 20/21 to just have extra pocket money for rent and a car payment. it's been an issue since i was a kid, and my mom's kind of been bringing me down that path now that i have a job and was capable of building credit. i now have shit credit, which means i can't get a new place to live for the both of us since she's getting older, it'd be hard for me to find a place to sell me a car. i work a job that's pays me now $12.70 and have been told since april i would be getting full time and a raise. credit cards have been charged off, i still have one company down my throat to pay them back by the end of the month which if i had the money, i would.

regardless, money's always been an issue, having lost our one vehicle of transportation just kind of made me snap. my friend who was supposed to pick me up had her boyfriend - who i am not fond of, pick me up because she went an hour away for fucking fish being sold at her campground. i was at work, i had a new person working up there with me and i just couldn't babysit. i got through it since i convinced my morning worker to stay. i bought her a coffee with whatever money i had, i made sure she got a scratchy that lets her get money off groceries and i was basically in tears saturday night that everyone knew because i just couldn't keep myself together.

sunday it was a little better, especially when my sister said she'd help my mother get her car back and even chewed her out for not telling us sooner - not that i could help much. but if i knew she was struggling that much i would have taken on other bills like more for electric, internet, gas - but she never told me. especially when i was working 40+ hours a week for a month and a half.

i was just really stressed, overwhelmed and mad at my whole situation because we've been living like this since i was 11 and i'm turning 25. it's exhausting and i was just so pissed off between the situation with the car, my friend abandoning me it felt like, and just having to be at work when i wasn't in the mental state and i knew i couldn't leave because no one would come in or stay for me. no one fucking cares about the work i do or how hard i work. they just care it gets done. just hope asset protection enjoys me collapsing in the corner of the cash office bawling my eyes out because i just couldn't stop myself at one point because of my anxiety.

but yes, i apologize if i worried anyone, especially when i never really responded to anyone. i just needed more of a place to vent it out in the small ways i could. i'm okay now, my sister help pay off what was owed and hopefully my mother gets her car back tomorrow.

it's not perfect for me still, but it's a little lighter.

[fruitybugboy]

My car got repossessed and i had to go to my parents for help to get it back and though they are reasonably pissed with me about it:

• i wanted a used car but when i was buying due to situations out of my control that were NOT my fault i needed a cosigner and my parents wouldnt do it unless i got a brand new car, they would not budge so i was saddled with a $500 a month car payment i had to pay alone.

• i told them repeatedly i was behind on payments asked them to help me with one month so the car wouldnt be repossessed they said no (as is their right i know they have their own expenses)

• the car was repossessed the day after i got paid and was about to make a payment to get me out of the red zone

• they told me not to take out a loan to cover the car payments and to just go to them for help. Almost everytime i did this they would ignore me or tell me no and i’d be forced to choose to either feed myself and my partner and pay our rent or pay the car. My partner was unemployed for almost two months while actively looking for work so i was the only source of income and they knew this information, i obviously chose a roof over our heads and food over the car. My parents are directly mad at me for this choice.

• they, knowing i have severe anxiety especially when ignored by them (due to past trauma of them doing this multiple times to me) have decided to vaguely threaten me and then ignore every message i have sent since.

• they have vaguely threatened to make me move back home (i am a 24 year old adult, with a partner) i will not do this because i am an adult and they also do not respect my identity as a trans man or a queer person in general

• they told me before the radio silence they will contact me when they have thought of a good enough “consequence for my actions”

• my actions that need consequences are me not paying the car payment so i could stay housed and fed, asking for help, being too poor for a car payment they didnt really give me a choice in despite knowing i couldnt afford it.

• i from the moment of finding out i needed their help with the repossession costs have fully intended on paying them back the full amount no matter how long it takes

I know i fucked up my parents finances and my mothers credit score with this i know that, i feel awful, i also know and have expressed that though they have said they “did not do this for me” but to save their own finances, that i know how extremely lucky and fortunate i am that they were able and willing to help me even indirectly. What i cant get over is how shitty they are treating me about this. I thought my relationship with my parents had gotten a lot better but i feel like im in highschool again just shutting down so they can scream at me until theyre done, and then being ignored like i dont exist at all hntil they are ready to scream at me some more.

I logically know they cannot do anything to me but make me pay them back but the fear response i have to their intense anger is making me miserable and ive begun to break out in stress caused eczema hives on my hands.

I know i fucked up but i dont spend frivolously, i dont eat out, i havent bought myself anything in months except clothes that i bought at work on sale with my employee discount because i didnt have anything work appropriate that didnt have holes or stains (a necessary purchase bc i work in clothing retail and have to “represent the brand”) all of my money goes directly to bills and food i dont know what i could have done that i didnt already do other than pull out loans behind their back to cover the car which they also would have been pissed at me for.

Watch "Zeus's two Lamborghinis" on YouTube

He's doing this to her son is a huge fag too and he needs to die, our son doesn't look like he cares much but he wants to stop doing it and the a****** won't and it's a huge f****** a****** to him on purpose. Is a vindictive snide little b**** and he's not stopping the harassment because her son doesn't believe stuff he tells him he's a loser okay he's a bum and he's losing these cars and in another clip you see this car get repossessed and he didn't pay the payments for real and he's poor because he can't use the money that he has because nobody wants him to have any power she's going around trying to make fun of our son or rub it in or something and it's not even imitating Zeus or our son or any character that's ever been close to Zeus he looks like a huge jackass and everybody tells it to him too right to his face he just keeps doing it and losing money too and property and facilities while he's doing it his kids and other people are taking it from him so I guess that's why he keeps doing it

Thor Freya

We need him to stop though and we're going to force him to stop and we're going to hit him every time he does it. Our son doesn't know exactly what it's supposed to mean

you're driving some fast cars lots of them are not very well built and it'll go that fast and the companies you own and you're not selling the cars and you're not making money and you're not selling them to your people as status symbols and now you lost the companies to my people because my papa is on ice so that was sure what you're trying to drive at you wanted me to take them over maybe because you are an idiot

Zues Hera

It's kind of in a nutshell it doesn't look like anything but some mental patient running around driving cars that aren't his and getting them taken away and people know about the money they're not letting you spend it and they're taking it when you do this. So not sure what you're driving at yeah you're hiding what you have under New Zealand and people know about it and told you about it and they yell in your face about it now.

Warning it deals with a lot of sensitive topics including rape, manipulation, paranoia, trauma  and abuse, plus so, so much more. 

I have a bit trouble reading it myself because of the paranoia and manipulation scenes, I skip over the rape/Sexual abuse scenes for my own reasons but the amount of emotions  and the simply beautiful writing style makes it hard to turn away.

*Props elbows on table* Do continue the Apollo's children are Greek AND Roman meta, please!

Okay, so this took a while because the blog got shadowbanned and rl got a bit mad and just. Stuff in general. But I am still very much on this hill and yelling out about this (as two of my friends can attest to because they got trapped in a vc with me nattering on and on about this last night, oops), so let's get back to talking about this in depth.

This is the original post I made on the subject; it's very short and overview-y but several people asked for an expansion and as it's been a while I'm gonna ping the people in question: @rosesandlove44 @adequate-problematic @linds997

I'm actually upgrading this from a headcanon to a theory because the more I poke around and chat with others about it, the more it seems to fit with the narrative. So: Apollo's children are both Greek and Roman.

Now, before we can properly get into the children, we need to look at Apollo himself. If Apollo, like the rest of the gods, flits between Greek and Roman, then his kids would do the same and we'd have a split between them just like the rest - but he doesn't, and we don't.

Apollo never changes between the two. Not only that, but he's never shown to have any problems reconciling the two at all.

Starting chronologically, in Blood of Olympus, we meet the twins for the first time since the schism starts. Interestingly, however, it's Artemis who places more emphasis on the schism when they talk about it - Artemis, of course, becomes Diana for the Romans, and we know that the schism does affect her.

‘Delos is our birthplace,’ said the goddess. ‘Here, we are unaffected by the Greek–Roman schism. Believe me, Leo Valdez, if I could, I would be with my Hunters, facing our old enemy Orion. Unfortunately, if I stepped off this island, I would become incapacitated with pain. All I can do is watch helplessly while Orion slaughters my followers. Many gave their lives to protect your friends and that accursed Athena statue.’

If I, she says. While the implication is there with her use of "we" to describe them being safe from the schism on Delos, when it comes down to details she only talks about herself - specifically, that she would be incapacitated with pain. Apollo, when the same topic comes up, is nowhere near as specific:

‘To shoot my bow, I would have to step off Delos,’ Apollo cried. ‘Then I would be incapacitated, or Zeus would strike me down. Father never liked me. He hasn’t trusted me for millennia!’

Yes, he says he would be incapacitated, but his focus is immediately on Zeus and the punishment waiting for him. Admittedly, this and when he talks about Delphi do make it sound rather like there's something to do with the schism that's affecting him, but when we look at the scene more closely, there remains this curious lack of specifics or focus on that. Rather, what he says could very easily be misleading (and considering how much of an act he's putting on during this scene, what with the death threats to Leo that there's no feasible way he could ever have meant for so many reasons, what's a little more of an act?).

Apollo’s bow turned back into a ukulele. He plucked a dramatic chord. ‘When the schism began between Greek and Roman, while I struggled with confusion, Gaia took advantage! She raised my old enemy Python, the great serpent, to repossess the Delphic Oracle. That horrible creature is now coiled in the ancient caverns, blocking the magic of prophecy. I am stuck here, so I can’t even fight him.’

He says he struggled with confusion, but it never specifies what that confusion was by. In fact, as the other gods, as Artemis helpfully points out earlier in this same scene, are pained by the schism, Apollo seems rather odd to just be confused - actually, confusion would track more with him trying to work out why this is happening all of a sudden, especially as his own twin is affected, rather than it impacting him, personally.

Of course, there could be some inconsistency in the worldbuilding here. Rick has admitted several times to fudging things, and these two passages are the only ones that potentially contradict the theory, but I'm not entirely convinced on that because of the rest of the scene.

As we're facing Artemis, not Diana, and the twins are on Delos, the Greek island, it's heavily implied that we ought to be seeing Greek Apollo here. But if it's Greek Apollo, then why does he talk so familiarly with Frank, and about Octavian? We see from Mars and Bacchus with Percy that the Roman gods have no overlap with the Greeks in terms of knowledge and awareness of what their counterparts are up to, but Apollo is perfectly aware and comfortable talking about the Roman camp while in the Greek territory and setting.

‘You wrong me!’ Apollo wailed. ‘I was misled by Gaia and that horrible Roman child!’ Frank cleared his throat. ‘Uh, Lord Apollo, you mean Octavian?’ ‘Do not speak his name!’ Apollo strummed a minor chord. ‘Oh, Frank Zhang, if only you were my child. I heard your prayers, you know, all those weeks you wanted to be claimed. But alas! Mars gets all the good ones. I get … that creature as my descendant. He filled my head with compliments. He told me of the great temples he would build in my honour.’ Artemis snorted. ‘You are easily flattered, brother.’ ‘Because I have so many amazing qualities to praise! Octavian said he wanted to make the Romans strong again. I said fine! I gave him my blessing.’

Here, he refers to Frank's father being Mars (not Ares) with no issues at all. He also refers to his dealings with Octavian in the first person - there's no suggestion that he separates himself into Greek and Roman; he could have said "the Roman me" instead of "I", but even that requires him to be aware of what his counterpart was up to, which, again, is something that tends not to happen from what we're shown in the books. As it is, the implication is blatant that it is this Apollo who was dealing directly with the Romans... even though he's Greek.

That doesn't quite track with everything else, so even in BOO we can see signs that Apollo isn't affected the same as the others.

Then, of course, we have Trials of Apollo. Again, we're explicitly with the Greek Apollo, here; he usually refers to Artemis over Diana, he goes to Camp Half-Blood, where Chiron, the demigods, and later Dionysus all treat him with the familiarity that comes from being their side of things.

And yet, Apollo continues to have no problems at all with the Greek-Roman thing. We get little snippets like this, which show Apollo being casually familiar with Mars without any mental pause at all:

Below us stretched a landscape only slightly more hospitable than Mars. (I mean the planet, not the god, though I suppose neither is much of a host.)

That's definitely some good old brotherly/Olympian shade being thrown right there, without any pause at all.

“That’s a very Mars thing to say,” I noted. “Despite my many disagreements with Mars, I mean that as a compliment.”

Many disagreements - Apollo's used to talking with Mars as well as Ares, clearly.

And I just wanna backtrack a little bit to Frank and Apollo again, because as I was grabbing this passage as some more evidence, I noticed something else:

I almost didn’t recognize Frank Zhang. The first time I’d seen him, back when I was a god and he was a legion newbie, Frank had been a baby-faced, heavyset boy with dark flattop hair and an adorable fixation on archery. He’d had this idea that I might be his father. He prayed to me all the time. Honestly, he was so cute I would’ve been happy to adopt him, but alas, he was one of Mars’s. The second time I saw Frank, during his voyage on the Argo II, he’d had a growth spurt or a magical testosterone injection or something. He’d grown taller, stronger, more imposing—though still in an adorable, cuddly, grizzly-bear sort of way.

The first time, Apollo says, and then goes on to describe something that is never shown in HOO: Apollo seeing Frank pre-Son of Neptune, as a legion newbie and before he became part of the Seven. This may well have been one of the times when Apollo visited Octavian (although Frank clearly never knew about this, because their meeting on Delos is treated very much like their first meeting, and he wouldn't have held on hope of being Apollo's son right up until his claiming in SON if he'd met Apollo before that, because I can't see Apollo letting him continue to hope after meeting in person), but it's more evidence that this Apollo is the one that interacted with Octavian, visited Camp Jupiter... and yet he's definitely still the same Apollo that's got all the Greek familiarities, too.

Yes, my examples all seem to tend towards Mars, but that's because Apollo talks about Mars the most. One more little snippet:

I considered that. When my followers called, had I ever shown up and granted them three wishes? LOL, nope. Maybe one wish, if that wish was something I wanted to happen anyway. And if this ritual only allowed me to call one god, who would it be—assuming I could even choose? Perhaps my son Asclepius would be able to heal me, but he couldn’t very well fight the Roman emperors’ forces and the hordes of undead. Mars might grant us success on the battlefield, but he’d look at my wound and say something like Yeah, rough break. Die bravely!

Not only, when Apollo's considering which god would work best, does he have a solid prediction for what Mars' reaction would be to his wound, he also has faith that Mars would likely help Camp Jupiter.

Delving into Camp Jupiter proper, Apollo is openly familiar with the place. At the start of The Tyrant's Tomb, he tells Meg about visiting it:

“You know how to get to Camp Jupiter?” she asked. “Of course.” “ ��Cause you said that about Camp Half-Blood.” “We got there! Eventually.” “Frozen and half-dead.” “Look, the entrance to camp is right over there.” I waved vaguely at the Oakland Hills. “There’s a secret passage in the Caldecott Tunnel or something.” “Or something?” “Well, I haven’t actually ever driven to Camp Jupiter,” I admitted. “Usually I descend from the heavens in my glorious sun chariot. But I know the Caldecott Tunnel is the main entrance. There’s probably a sign. Perhaps a demigods only lane.”

Specifically, how he used to arrive, and the way he phrased it - usually - implies that it was more than a one-off visit, although we also know that the Roman gods tend to be even more absent than the Greek ones, considering how much of a big deal it was for first Juno and then Mars to appear in quick succession during SON. Greek god visiting a Roman camp? Why?

He mentions more familiarity with the camp a few times, but I'm picking this one out because it has not only some titbit about Jupiter but also actually directly addresses the ways mortals influence gods:

The lake’s south shore was the site of Temple Hill, with its chaotic assortment of shrines and monuments. On the summit, overshadowing everything else, was my father’s impressively ego-tastic Temple of Jupiter Optimus Maximus. If possible, his Roman incarnation, Jupiter, was even more insufferable than his original Greek personality of Zeus. (And, yes, we gods have multiple personalities, because you mortals keep changing your minds about what we’re like. It’s exasperating.) In the past, I’d always hated looking at Temple Hill, because my shrine wasn’t the largest.

He says "we gods" despite clearly being the same between Greek and Roman (at this point, the implication is so blatant it wouldn't make sense for it to be anything but the case, in my opinion), but on a tiny segue into real life mythology for a moment, Apollo - like the other gods - was viewed differently even within different areas of Ancient Greece, so he would still be affected by this in general, even if it's clearly not the case during modern PJO-era.

I'm not going to go into great detail on it here, because it's an essay in its own right, but of course there is another, huge, part of TOA that directly points to Apollo being the same: the Triumvirate.

All three of them are familiar with Apollo, and Apollo is equally familiar with all of them. The Roman emperor-god Caligula wants to replace this Apollo. Nero fully expects Apollo to recognise him (and, once he dredges it out of his mortal-teacup memory, Apollo does). And then, of course, there's Commodus.

Of course, when I visited Roman camps, I usually spent all my time in the commander’s tent, lounging and eating grapes like I used to do with Commodus…. Oh, gods, why was I torturing myself with such thoughts?

I grabbed this one because it also continues the theme of Apollo's familiarity with Camp Jupiter, and Romans in general, but it does also add in the pointer that it's this Apollo, our Apollo who's definitely not pure Roman, that remembers the romance with Commodus in so much depth. This Apollo is the one that had that romance.

Why would the Romans be so much of a threat, care about Apollo so much, if he wasn't their, Roman, god? Python, meanwhile, is very much from the Greek side of things - Greek and Roman enemies, both targeting the same facet of the same god.

Apollo being both Greek and Roman, at the same time, is the best-fit explanation for this that I can see, and I could continue to draw out more quotes and discussion on this, but I still want to get into how this affects his children, so I'm going to leave this section here.

Let's move onto his children.

The major point here the distribution of Apollo's descendants between the two camps: most of Apollo's children are in Camp Half-Blood.

In fact, if it were not for the known existence of Apollo Legacies (Octavian), and Frank's desperate hope to be a child of Apollo, it would seem that Camp Jupiter doesn't have any children of Apollo at all. As it is, the implication is that there are very few.

Why? Let's start with Octavian, and the augur position.

Octavian is a legacy of Apollo. He is not a son of Apollo; there are a few generations (at least) between them, and yet he is the one in the position of camp augur, which implies that there's no-one better for the job (or that has the money to bully their way in, but I don't think that's really the case here, which I'll get to in a minute). Octavian has prophecy powers (which actually throws a lot of other implications about Apollo's kids and which domains they inherit, let alone whether legacies actually have any demigod abilities, for a bit of a spin), although we heard from Apollo himself in BOO that he blessed Octavian, which is where I suspect his prophecy powers come from (but again a talk on legacies and power inheritance is for another time). How is a many-generation legacy the best person for the job?

Apollo has a lot of kids. It's inferable that he has more kids than any other god (bear in mind that the overly-populated cabin eleven also contained unclaimeds and minor gods' kids - take them away and the number of Hermes kids is almost certainly lower than the number of Apollo kids, but that's yet another topic for another time). It seems unrealistic that a legacy is a better fit for the job than one of his own kids when there should be so many of them running around.

But not only is Octavian the best fit for the position, he's also the only fit for the position:

No. Of course. The legion had no high priest, no pontifex maximus. Their former augur, my descendant Octavian, had died in the battle against Gaia. (Which I had a hard time feeling sad about, but that’s another story.) Jason would’ve been the logical next choice to officiate, but he was our guest of honor. That meant that I, as a former god, was the ranking spiritual authority. I would be expected to lead the funeral rites.

Over half a year after Octavian's death, Camp Jupiter still has no augur. Octavian has not been replaced, despite an augur being an incredibly important role. Yes, emphasis is put on Octavian throwing money and influence around to get his own way in HOO, but the fact that his position hasn't been filled after this long suggests that Camp Jupiter has no-one else who can.

We're also looking at the healers: Pranjal is a son of Asclepius, not Apollo.

“My name’s Pranjal,” said the young man. “Head healer for the legion. I worked on you when you first got here, but we didn’t really meet then, since, well, you were unconscious. I’m a son of Asclepius. I guess that makes you my grandpa.”

He's Will's counterpart for Camp Jupiter; it just seems really bizarre that there's no child of Apollo floating around and checking in on their dad.

In fact, we're not introduced to a single child of Apollo throughout the entirety of TTT, despite him interacting with a lot of the legion, and the fact that Apollo always seeks out his own children in the books. In Camp Jupiter, he spends time with not just Pranjal, but also Lavinia, the daughter of Terpsichore, one of the nine Muses - if his own children were around, why did he not interact with them? The only logical explanation is that there aren't any children of Apollo in the camp at this point (and, potentially, no other legacies, either, therefore leaving the augur position open because there's no-one around with any prophetic potential).

The conclusion here is that all of Apollo's kids, near enough, end up at Camp Half-Blood. It neatly explains why there's so many of them there (at least during PJO, before they get annihilated during the wars), while Camp Jupiter has so few. Why Camp Half-Blood? I made a separate essay on this, but in brief: Apollo is implied to be the patron god of Camp Half-Blood. It makes sense that he'd want to bring his children into the camp he founded, rather than let them go through Lupa's rough initiation and then to a camp named for his father and under the patronage of Mars.

And as Apollo is clearly both at the same time, that means his kids are also not going to be one or the other, and could therefore fit in easily wherever they end up.

There's one other little side-effect that would come into play here, though: languages.

Greek demigods are fluent in Ancient Greek. Roman demigods are fluent in Latin. Following this logic, Apollo kids would therefore be fluent in both.

This actually explains why Chiron teaches the Greek demigods Latin; it always seemed a bit weird to me that he'd spend the time to teach them Latin when they already have an old language they're fluent in, and Latin doesn't really fit with the otherwise very Greek theming. And yet, he's explicitly stated to have taught Annabeth, and of course Percy, and it's likely that he's taught the whole camp.

“He heard them talking in Latin.” “Latin? Were they campers?”

While Apollo's a little confused that people in the woods surrounding Camp Half-Blood were speaking Latin, he still doesn't discount that they could be campers based on that. It's only a small piece of evidence, but it's still there.

And on the Roman side... I am still no expert on Octavian, but the way he knows Greeks exist early on with a certainty that most of the legion dismiss suggests that he has some degree of proof. Yes, his conversations with Apollo may have brought that to the fore, but there's also the potential that Octavian knows because his family, and perhaps he himself, can speak in Ancient Greek despite never studying it. Octavian is many things, but stupid is not one of them.

Overall, the way Apollo is unaffected by the Greek-Roman schism, has no pause identifying as both the Greek Apollo and the Roman Apollo, and the fact that all of his known children are concentrated in one camp (particularly the one that he founded and remains connected to), heavily implies that there is no division between Greek and Roman for either him or his children.

i'm gonna break all of our hearts. "maybe you should take a long, good look in the mirror and realize that i was never the problem" with bo 💔 (you can choose whether or not you want healing to come after) -razz

angst prompts

I did this one for Bo but the opposite so I hope you like this one too!

CW: reader is a dick, angst/no comfort

--

So, you were gone.

It wasn't because of the killing. No, it had been a long time since you gave a shit about that. As long as he liked you, you didn't care who or what he ruined. It wasn't because of something he did. You'd held on through every breakdown, no matter how mean he got. Clung, more like. Like he was your last lifeline.

In a way, it'd been reassuring. He shoulda known better.

Now you were gone.

It'd been so stupid. So stupid. Innocuous. Stuff he'd said before, even. Complaints about Lester and Vincent, about the town, your family bugging you ... and before he'd known it, you were shouting, he was shouting. And without a word, without even the decency of an explanation, you were gone.

It wasn't the killing. Oh, he'd gone over and over it in his head. That was the first thing that could make any sane person hate him, after all. But you had long since stopped caring about the killing. And just that morning, you'd told him how much you loved him. I love you so much - that was what you'd said.

How could you fuckin' lie like that? Fuckin' liar.

Bo didn't know much about love, but he knew you didn't just drop someone like a hot rock when you loved them. That was why, even when he treated you like shit, he always came crawling back. If he had one thing on his side, it was that he was loyal.

But it had been so easy for you. No explanation. No talking. No attempt to understand. Just "I'm done," and then you'd been gone.

You could yell, scream, cry, slam doors, throw things, tell him you hated him ... whatever. Lord knew he did plenty of it himself. But if you were gonna break up with him, you better mean it. Bo Sinclair could not afford to play games.

(More like you couldn't afford to play games with Bo Sinclair. You were betting with your life, and if you lost ... well.)

Maybe you'd just been looking for an excuse to dump him for a while.

Maybe you were scared and this was your way of jumping ship.

You reminded him so much of his momma so much of the time. He should have seen this coming. That kind of love, "love" from people like that ... that wasn't something you earned or attained. That was something you were gifted. No, not gifted ... lent. Sometimes forcibly. And it could be repossessed at any moment.

He couldn't live like that. He couldn't live up on that crumbling fucking pedestal. It was a hell of a long way down and he was afraid of heights.

"What'd they say to you?" he finally grunted from where he'd been sitting, hunched over the kitchen table. He couldn't see Vincent, but he could sense him.

His twin finally emerged from the darkness of the laundry room.

"What'd they say?" Bo repeated after a moment. "When they were leavin'."

Vincent hesitated before signing, "The things you were saying reminded them of someone else. Someone from their past."

Bo crushed the cigarette he'd been holding in his hand. The pain felt so fucking good - internal feelings given outward form. "Well I'm not someone from their past," he snapped, slamming his burnt hand down on the table. "I'm me! I ain't no one but me and I didn't do shit, fuckin' crazy bitch!"

He was out of his chair in a second, pacing to the kitchen windows and looking out. He'd been numb at first, then so fuckin' mad last night, right after you'd gone. Now he was ... it felt like he was bleeding out. Rotting. On fire. Something like that - something that ate away slowly.

It'd been so sudden with virtually no reason, and he felt like a limb had been cut off. It'd been a long time since he felt worthless. Replaceable. Probably since Momma had been alive. That crumbling pedestal again. And you'd been so fucking cold, acting like nothing was wrong as you waltzed out of Ambrose. He could see you now ... greeting your friends with a smile, like nothing had happened. Like he had meant nothing. Like all this had been a game.

"It fucking hurts, Vin."

Vincent said nothing, simply came to stand behind him.

"I mean, how c'n they say they loved me an' then act like that?" There was a pause. The air was electric as the tension boiled over, spilling out misery. "Was so fuckin' stupid ta think someone could ever love me. I mean fuckin' look at me. Look at us," he added huskily, glancing at Vincent's reflection in the glass. "There's somethin' wrong with me that makes people leave, I swear it."

His twin raised a hand and squeezed his shoulder.

Bo sighed, jaw working, fists clenching. Why did I ever let this happen?

He fucking hated this. He fucking hated you. Not just for hurting him. You'd left Vincent, too, and Lester - they'd trusted you just like he had, and you'd hurt 'em. He should kill you just for that. He fucking hated you, hated you, and he hated his goddamn self, too.

I'm not ever gonna let this happen again.

He felt like a lump of sugar waiting to dissolve in water. At the same time, he felt broken and sharp-edged and evil. If only you could feel how he did right now.

But you didn't. And he knew that. You didn't even fuckin' care. It was so easy. Natural, even, to hurt people. He knew 'cause he felt the same way. That's all this godforsaken world was - assholes hurting each other, over and over, until they died.

But this wasn't about him. For once, it hadn't been him.

Maybe you should take a long, good look in the mirror and realize that I was never the problem.

How would Dreamon hunting fit into our Dream being nice and regularly going to the boutique?

think He would get a kick out of tormenting teasing mortals. Terrifying Youth that Get A bit too big for their britches, mess around with ouiji boards n stuff.

If youre not a local ghost story or Crypid than youre doing something wrong.

Which attract people who think that they can Deal With Deamons. Its laughable already, but to try and fight The Dreamon? Hubris IS one of humanitys many faults. If He Took this seriously, They wouldnt BE here to continue to hunt demons. He finds it Hilarious and drags them on wild goose chases, that usually end with them hopelessly lost and/or needing new clothes.

(He does this a lot in between manhunts )

Of course He IS responsible for his subjects and protection and while HE might never be in any danger, He does have to make sure that Humans dont go around killing demons.

So if By chance a long time ago, Someone went around and spread false information about demons, leaving Deamon books with Only How to exorcise and banish, well, It makes his job a lot easier

(If he had a galaxy brain moment in the past, or He got Sapnap to get Karl to do him a favor)

This means he got some clowns chasing him, convinced he is up to no good, ( he even tricked them into 'exorcising' him out of his 'host' and then hung out for a bit before dramatically 'repossessing' his 'host' and doing a little evil monologue about being too powerful for puny mortals), and generally being a little bastard (affectionate)

(Im making him such a drama kid tbh but Look me in the eyes and say that Wilbur and Him havent gotten into a competition over who should be the ~Drama King~)

If they rope in Tubbo, They both laugh their asses off at the end of the day

Dream, Tubbo, and Wilbur, terrorizing the general public for kicks. Sounds about right. Of course, who's gonna believe anyone who brings it up?

My original thought was that Tubbo and Sapnap join Fundy and Hbomb in filming(and instigating) petty neighborhood drama, but I've now decided that as a side-gig, Fundy, Tubbo, and Sapnap, are all very legit(aka, as absolutely sarcastically and silly as possible) paranormal investigators.

Okay, no, no, wait, I have it all figured out.

Starlit Boutique Spinoff-thing: Dreamon Hunters Addition.

Fundy, Tubbo, and Sapnap meet as a result of their desires to cause chaos and petty drama. They get along so well, they're almost immediately banned from the neighborhood.

But that wouldn't work(because Tubbo is threatening, and also Tommy), so they've instead been redirected to take their mischief to mess with the public to keep another neighborhood war from starting up.

Thus begins their careers as the Dreamon Hunters! Paranormal Investigators who's main goal is to confront the mysterious and powerful Dreamon, who's sighted terrorizing people throughout history.

But for now, while they 'gather clues' to this demon's whereabouts, they mainly just take on normal haunted houses, and just post their videos online. It, unsurprisingly, gets very popular very quick.

Fundy and Sapnap get to play the skeptics. Sapnap gets to try and say he doesn't believe in demons with a straight face, and Fundy gets to stare ghosts dead in the eyes while he makes excuses.

Tubbo gets to play the believer, and conspiracy theorist who gets conspiracy theories mad about him(also by him, but nobody needs to know that)

Dream's their cameraman who absolutely loses his mind every time they go into a well-practiced monologue about defeating the Dreamon once and for all-he doesn't even bother hiding any of his traits, and it's often caught on camera, but the hunters regularly just dismiss it, and it infuriates all of their fans because he's very clearly the actual Dreamon, but noooo, Dream's 'just like that, guys'.

♡〜Where they are partners and are on a mission and the male reader constantly flirts with Hizashi and he gets flustered and tells him to stop bc they're working? And when they're at home Hizashi gives the reader the silent treatment-anon〜♡

Yamada Hizashi x male reader

I procrastinate writing often.

Requested: Yes

Word Count: 1072

Warnings: swearing

Stealth missions weren’t exactly the best for loud heroes such as Present Mic, but he could hold back his voice. Even as a hero with an audio quirk, he wasn't actually the problem in this mission.

Ironically enough, you were.

“I hate when you leave, but I love to watch you go.” 

Even with his back facing you, you know he rolls his eyes. “We have a mission, (y/n).” He kept walking away from you, to a higher position so he could make use of his ranged quirk. There was no problem with it - you had earpieces and everything - except for your feigned loneliness.

He knew you were only playing with him, but it was irritating nevertheless. “Come on, love, you know you love it.”

Luckily for him, he was out of your vision in no time. “Getting my ass checked out, distracting me with your senseless flirting, on a very delicate mission? Yeah, don’t think so.”

“Come on, darling.” You giggle, which gives him a sign that you’re up to no good. “We’re-”

“(y/n).” His voice is a little stern, on the edge of getting louder, so you drop it. He was right, the mission was sensitive and easy to mess up, even for pro-heroes.

Yamada makes it higher and higher into the abandoned building in silence while you wait in your place. It’s rather boring and the silence is insufferable. Spending time with Yamada, a usually loud and music-blasting man, had rubbed off on you. Despite that, he seemed fine with silence. It was hard to understand.

“Hizashi.”

“Wha-”

“What are you wearing?”

“What the fuck, (y/n).” Even if the question itself is usually innocent, he recognizes the line from… certain explicit phone scenarios. Ignoring the blush on his face, he chooses to deflect it. “You know what I’m wearing.”

“But I don’t, Hizashi.” He catches a mischievous hint in your voice, something he doesn’t like. “For all I know you could’ve-”

“I’m wearing a black jacket, black pants, and black boots. Satisfied?”

“That’s boring, Hizashi.”

He rolls his eyes, “Shut up, I’m at the balcony. I see…”

He relays the amount of people in the room, their potential equipment and abilities, and the location of stolen goods. It’s all boring mission stuff, which you didn’t like going over so slowly. However, a job is a job.

“Headphones on?”

“Of course.”

The mission went fine, in fact - despite all your bickering, it went fantastic. Bad guys were arrested and stolen goods were repossessed. The important part was, the both of you made it out with minimal injuries.

Despite the wonderful work, the satisfied citizens and reporters, Yamada was mad at you.

You didn’t know exactly why and you didn’t like it, because your lover decided on giving you a silent treatment when you came back home.

“Hizashi!” No response.

“Hizashi, darling, come down here!”

“Hizaaashiiiiii!”

No matter how many times you called him, nor how loud, he wouldn’t answer. You were concerned, rightfully so, but when you checked on him he wouldn’t even look at you.

“Could you help me with-?”

“Hmph!” He huffs, turning completely away from you.

“Darling, what’s wrong?” He doesn’t answer this time either, only giving you another feisty huff in response. “Oh, so that’s how it is?”

The first hour or two were fine. You managed to handle the lack of your usually energetic partner’s talking fairly well, only filling the void with music of your own. However, as time went on, you started to miss his excited banter.

Hizashi’s overbearing energy was annoying for some people, all except for you. The man was your battery, the source of most of your energy.

Without him, you had no cute humming, singing or non-stop talking to fill your ears; you had no one tugging you along to do the tasks you procrastinated; you had no one to flirt with.

Basically, you had no energy.

The only time he was with you that day was during dinner. You had a habit of eating dinner on the couch - maybe with a movie on, because it was only the two of you in your little home. Therefore, there was no dinner table.

For some reason, he decided he could tolerate you enough to turn on a movie and not leave to his brainstorming/radio room.

The time you spent eating was filled with utter silence between the two of you. Even when you finished and stacked your plates, continuing to watch the movie, he was silent.

You imagined it was as insufferable for him as it was for you. He could handle say, an hour long stealth mission, but he couldn’t handle three hours or more without a conversation. Even if he felt restless, he did not show it.

“Darling.” No response. “Hizashi.”

He makes a point to ignore you, head moving to look at the side; away from the tv, and away from you. Though, the problem with that, is he doesn’t see you approaching him.

The next time you speak his name, it’s a warning. “Hizashi, love.” Once again, he does not turn his head.

So what do you do?

Tackle him, the only logical solution.

“AGEUFHSDJ” He sputters, falling against the armrest of the couch. “WHAT THE FU-”

Arms wrapped around his waist, head on his chest, he’s trapped below you. He’s got nowhere to go and nothing to do except cooperate with you.

You look up at him, chin propped up on his chest and pout on your lips. “Talk to me.”

His gaze softens as he looks down at you and a small smile illuminates his lips. It seems the silent treatment had taken a toll on the both of you, but thanks to his stubbornness, he wasn’t willing to break it for you; not until you did something.

He kisses your forehead and wraps his arms around you, “Sorry.”

After apologies and kisses are distributed, he continues onto his regular schedule: talking non-stop.

Not many people can handle Present Mic.

Not many can handle his loud yelling, perpetually restless behavior, or his eccentric persona. But among the people who can, and among the people who love him no matter what, there’s you.

Not many people could handle you.

Not many could handle your constant flirting, your never-ending bickering, your teasing demeanor. But he loves you, even if you may bother him often.

And you couldn’t get enough of each other.

HISOKAAAAA (spoiler to ep12, the eternal moment)

Since Chikage’s chapter will be uploaded after the break, we’re not likely to know what he’s doing but Hisoka’s chapter is wild.

I called it. I fucking called it. I knew Hisoka will somehow do what he did best.

OKAY SO LIKE

MANKAI theatre got burnt down. Somehow the dorm is at risk for getting repossessed. They decided to split to fool the main culprit, and everyone will get a chapter showing what they’re doing meanwhile. Only Winter and Autumn chapters are out but Hisoka’s takes the cake for the wildest of them all.

When he has nowhere to go, he chose to live with Chikage, much to the Chikage’s surprise and frustration. Like Itaru, he put on terms and condition like, 1. be careful when going out and in the hiding place, 2. don’t buy too much marshmallows, 3. keep his postal address to Guy’s bar, and 4. don’t litter the place with marshmallows.

His imagination about what would happen if he didn’t end up in MANKAI is him ending up in hospital and killed by Chikage.

He goes to August’s grave and dreamt about him. You wanted to see me, and so I’m here. You said you wanted to live as Hisoka Mikage without throwing your past as December, right? Surely there’s something you can do.

Translation : Dream!August which might be a ghost or may be a figment of his imagination is telling him to do crime. You know what you do best! If Chikage gets mad, I’ll endure his bitching together with you.

AUGUST YOU’RE DEAD WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU PROMISE YOU’LL ENDURE CHIKAGE’S BITCHING WITH HISOKA

Yeah, I’m wearing this not as December, but as Hisoka Mikage. Surely Chikage will not mind that much. Well, this might be grasping straws, but I’m just doing what I can. Thinking the difficult stuffs is Chikage’s job.

OKAY LIKE

Imagine Chikage, coming home to find Hisoka gone and maybe a message with Hisoka saying ‘I’m infiltrating the enemy’ and maybe he’d be fine because come on, this is Hisoka, but then Chikage would hear the excuse being ‘August made me do it’.

Im

sympathizing with Chikage lol.

Anyway, can’t wait for Chikage’s chapter omg

Stewy + Logan?

Anon, I think way more than I should about the fact that the show tells us Stewy and Kendall went to elementary school, high school and college together in the same breath Logan calls him Kendall's college drinking buddy, haha.

I actually do think Logan knows exactly how long Stewy's been friends with Kendall (I lowkey think Logan would very deliberately know if his kids had friends with money, which Stewy clearly does), and that that beat is really about Logan trying to diminish Stewy professionally and put him in his place, but it opens up an interesting sort of narrative and character space.

In particular, I think Logan's perceptive of people having influence over his children – it's why he separates Kendall and Naomi in 2.10 after all, and I think is a big part of the reason Logan gets so mad about Shiv working with Gil, even beyond the perceived rebellion – and I think it's one of the big reasons he diminishes Stewy's relationship to Kendall in that beat, why he sends Kendall alone to pull out of the deal with Stewy knowing there's no way Kendall can stay in it (as Stewy says himself! It's a 1980s power move!) and I'd argue even part of why the offer to Stewy to save the company included Kendall's board seat.

I think all of those moves were about trying to sever that tie between them, and that Logan was doing it because he knows there's a hold and a pull there. God, Stewy was the one who coaxed Kendall into the new deal in the first place, and Kendall was the one who got Stewy onto the Waystar Royco board.

In the reverse, I think Stewy has no love for Logan at all, but he also sees him as an avenue to power and a vestige of an empire that's ripe for repossession and transformation. I think he sees his legacy as something to claim, but I also don't think it's his ultimate goal, if that makes sense? I think Stewy was opportunistic with the Waystar Royco bid, I don't think it was something he'd been holding out for, and I think after everything that happened, he probably regrets ever getting involved, haha.

I also think Stewy doesn't like the way Logan has a hold over Kendall at all, not just professionally but personally, and I think we see that particularly in that scene in Greece in 2.10.

It's sort of a tug of war, in a sense? Neither of them necessarily always want Kendall, but I think they both always resent the others influence over him.

Give me two characters (or things, I guess, haha) in my inbox:

“vs.” for who I think would win a fight

“or” for who I like better

“+” for how I ship them (platonic, familial, romantic, not at all)

And I’ll give you my reasons for why!
