Jason Todd x Fem!Reader

Warning: NSFW, Minors DNI, plot where the use of a safe word is used

"Hey. Don't ever be ashamed that you would want to stop"

Your whole day had been literal torture. All you wanted to do was strip away your uncomfortable clothes, replacing them with the soft cotton hoodie that belongs to your vigilante boyfriend.

You forgot your lunch at home together with your money, so all you ate today was a protein bar. Your boss yelled at you for thinking you misplaced important files when really, it was your coworker who lost them. You accidentally closed an important, unsaved tab from your computer. You still had 2 essays due for your college. You had a horrible headache.

Even when you went to your shared home and laid limp on your bed, you stull felt like shit. You changed into more comfortable clothing and patiently waited for Jason to come home from his late evening patrol.

When he came through the fire escape, he was huffing, clearly coming back from a very active vigil. He took off the heavy plated armour off of his upper body, leaving him in his tactical pants and compression shirt, accentuating the ripples of each muscle.

He was frustrated. Yeah, he successfully took down the criminal, but he noticed his performance was lacking unusually. He got a couple of blows, a punch here and there, and all that he was thinking now was that a good fuck will help him get rid of all that frustration and excess adrenaline.

When he came into your shared room, you were staring at your laptop, trying to finish one of your essays. You notice a large figured presence at you door way.

"You're early," you say, looking at him. Jason didn't say anything. He just walked over to you, saving the document on your laptop before slamming it shut and clumsily placing it on the desk beside the bed.

"Jay, what-" Jason shuts you up by connecting his lips to yours, wasting no time to slip his tongue into your mouth. You whimper at his forwardness, and Jason takes that as a sign to continue. He crawls over you, carefully lying you down as he hovers above you, never breaking the kiss.

Maybe this is what you need. Maybe this'll cheer you up. Maybe all you needed for a good day was Jason's cock deep inside of you.

So, you reach your hands up his neck, tugging a handful of his hair in the grip of your hands, bucking your hips upwards against his as Jason groans in response.

You tried to keep your focus on your throbbing cunt instead of your throbbing head, your headache slightly becoming worse.

Jason disconnects his lips from yours, his hands travelling down your torso, bunching your his hoodie above your waist as he kisses and nibbles on the skin of your stomach.

"Off," he demands, pushing your hoodie higher on your body, revealing your tits, where his hands reach up to fondle them, his thumbs circling around your hardening nipples.

You take off your hoodie, shivering at the cool breeze hitting against your skin. Jason returns to his original position, his nose almost touching yours.

"Fuck, you're so beautiful," he grunts, rolling his hips into yours, making you let out a pleaded moan.

"Jay- please," you begged, wanting more of him.

"My little impatient slut." He attaches his lips onto your neck, trying to tug off your sweatpants in which you hastily do it for him. "So fucking needy," he laughs. His rare degration kink only really shows when he's had a rough night.

He unbuckles his belt, kicking his pants off, revealing the large bulge of his cock that was still covered by his boxers.

"Suck," he demands, holding up two of his fingers into your mouth. You quickly obeyed, your eyes rolling to the back of your head as your tongue swirled around his fingers. "What a good, obedient girl."

He removes his fingers from your mouth, and his hand moves down to your needy pussy that begged for his touch.

Your back arched when you finally felt contact on your cunt, wanting to beg for more, but you kept getting distracted by the pains in your head. Still, you tried to push them aside.

Looking down to where Jason's hand was, you watch as he takes his fingers out, whining at the loss of his warmth, as he puts his digits in his mouth, sucking away your precum.

"Jason-" You cry. "Please- please.. I.."

"You what? Use your words, baby," he says.

"I need you p-please. I need you to fuck me," you barely cried out. You didn’t know if it was because of the ache from your pussy or from the migraine you refused to take care of.

"Polite as usual," Jason praises, giving you a kiss on the forhead before removing his boxers, his lengthy cock springing out.

Every time Jason fucks you, you always see heaven. But right now, because of your splitting headache, it was hard to focus on Jason actually splitting you.

Your moans of pleasure slowly turned into moans of pain, but unfortunately, Jason was so caught up in the moment that he didn’t even notice.

"Fuck, baby, so- so fucking tight. God- my good fucking slut," he groaned, slowly pumping his dick in and out of your hole, his pace gradually getting faster. But with every thrust, a sharo pain bolted through your head and you thought your skull was going to crack.

"Fuck, you like that, huh? My greedy little whore, taking my cock like a good girl. My good little fuck toy." His comments didn't make you want to crave more like it usually would. This time, you took them as insults. The build-up of today's stress didn't go well with the degrading pet names that Jason had given you. And tears began to prick your eyes.

His thrusts became rough, and the sex didn't feel good anymore. You wanted it to stop.

"W-wait, Jay, stop, please," you try to say, barely audible. Unfortunately, you say this often while Jason is balls deep into you, so he didn't get the message.

"Fuck, but your being such a good cock pocket, judt for me. Is that want you want, huh? To be my faithful little cum whore?" He grunts.

Shit, the word. What was the word. You haven't used it before, what was it?

When you and Jason sat down to talk about coming up with a safe word, he didn’t want to use the common traffic light system, knowing that you'd use the nickname 'Red' most nights he came home from patrol.

Red. It was something red. A flower? An animal? A gem? Fuck, what was it?!

Food. No... it was a fruit. Shit, which one. Strawberry, raspberry, watermelon, apple. No, no, no...

Cherry. Jason suggested cherry since you loved everything that was cherry.

"Cherry," you tried to call out, but you were exhausted. it barely came out as a whisper.

"Hm? What was that, sweetheart? Fucking speak up," he hisses, burying his face into your neck.

"Cherry," you were able to say louder, coming out as a whine as you gripped his shoulders, trying to push him away.

Jason's eyes widen as he immediately holds himself up, pulling out as you sigh in relief. His heart raced, and he began to panic.

Shit, what did he do? Did he go too far? Was he too rough? Fuck- Did he hurt you??

His full attention was on your teary face that was covered by both your hands as you sniffled. Jason's heart shattered.

He reached out, wanting to caress your cheeks. But did you even want him touching you?

"Sweetheart?" He weakly called out. He moved away from you, grabbing his boxers from the floor, quickly putting them on, and trying to find wear his discarded hoodie went. When he found it, he picked it up and shuffled to you, trying to offer his hoodie that you've claimed yours.

You shifted yourself to sit up, taking the hoodie, but still avoided eye contact with Jason. He wanted to throw up. And he wanted to shoot himself for wanting to throw uo. Because it was you that was hurt. Ans it was him that hurt you.

"I'm sorry," you quietly cry once you have the hoodie on. And Jason's brows knotted.

What? "Y/n, why.. why would you be sorry?" He asked, his face full of confusion.

"I didn't- I didn't mean to stop, I just," you hiccuped into another fit of light sobs, covering your face once more. "It was just a really shit day," your cracking voice muffled by the sleeves of the hoodie. "It's stupid."

"Darling. Look at me. Please..." He asked in the most gentle voice he possibly could. He slowly reached his hands out, telling you that he's about to touch your face. And you let him.

Both his hands hold your soft cheeks, caressing them with his thumbs. "It's not stupid. And never say sorry ever again for something like this," he tells you, staring right into your eyes.

You shake your head, attempting to look away. You thought it was embarrassing. Jason was out there, risking his life for the city, and right now, you felt like a cry baby. But Jason hold your head in place.

"Hey. Don't ever be ashamed that you would want to stop," he reassured you. He had told you this before. The first time you talked about having sex. The two of you talked about kinks, pleasures, boundaries, and such. And you were so grateful that you had someone like Jason who understands would show you so much respect for you, your comfort, and your body. "I'm glad you understand your own boundaries. I'm glad you wanted to stop, and you told me. I'm glad you used our word," Jason says, his calloused hands feeling soft and safe as they surround your face, leaning into his touch.

"Am I really just a slut to you?" You ask. You thought it was a dumb question. But he was saying it so much, and it just got to your head. Jason always shows that he loves you for you. You were more than just sex to him. Fuck, you were so much more to him.

"No. No, no, oh god, baby, no. You are everything to me. You're my life. You are every single breath I take. My heart is in your hands," he says, and your heart absolutely melts. You wouldn't need any more convincing. You knew he loved you.

"Have a headache," you say. Your throat sounds dry, and you look tired.

He places a soft kiss on your forhead, then another one to your lips as he takes your laptop again, opening it, clicking onto a website. He then places the laptop on your legs, playing 'Barbie a Fairy Secret' movie.

"I'll be back in a minute," he says, first finding a pair of sweats and then disappearing out the door.

When he comes back, he has a glass of water in one hand and a small pill in his other, with a cloth hanging over his forearm.

"Take this," he says, handing you the pill and the glass. Your thirst is queched, feeling the cool water run down your hoarse throat. "I'm gonna clean you up, okay?" He says, kneeling on the bed in front of you, tapping your knee twice.

"Mhm," you nod as he nods back, slowly pushing your legs apart, wiping away any of your precum from your hole.

When he finished, he planted a kiss to your knee, sending you a smile as you gave one back.

"Wanna talk about today?" He offers.

You shake your head. "Probably tomorrow," you say, focusing on the movie when a thought hits your brain. "It's not your fault, by the way," you notice the way Jason's body tenses up, and he looks down at you.

"You didn't hurt me. Not intentionally." You knew Jason had made it a bad habit of blaming himself whenever you got hurt, even if it was a minor injury, while he's with you. He always blamed that he wasn't able to protect you or prevent yourself from getting hurt and such. Ever since he started dating you, there's a voice in the back of his head, yelling at him for being selfish, and that you deserve better than him.

Recently, however, Jason has gotten better that he deserves to receive as much love as he is giving. He's accepting the small affections and acts of service that you present to him. He's accepting that he deserves to be loved.

He nods. "I know," he whispers, leaving a kiss to the crown of your head before watching the movie with you.

"Ken and Barbie look like siblings," he quips as you slap his chest, telling him to shut up as you both start laughing, happy to be in each other's arms.

I gotta thank ya Mod. For the headcanon of his birthday year and why he doesn’t really remember cause it made me have to think why the hell does my guy remember cause he’s old as fuck.

So thanks for making me think <3

Turns out I did this research once before, so I apologize for the inconsistent answers. Here's something I previously wrote for this blog:

So first off there are two different versions of Creed’s childhood floating around out there. The first I came across was a 2009 one-shot publication: X-men Origins: Sabretooth, written by Kieron Gillen. It features Victor’s first manifestation of his mutation through an altercation with his older brother which resulted in the kids death and Victor’s imprisonment in the cellar of their house by his father.

According to Gillien, Victor was only prisoner in that cellar for a year (if you read the comic it goes from ‘that spring’ to ‘next spring’.) However Marvel files have put Creed in that particular predicament for years. Routinely throughout those years, Creed’s father would remove Victor’s ‘Satan teeth’ believing that if he pulled out enough of them that he would Cure Victor of the devil.

An abusive and sick S.O.B. to be sure, Creed’s father has been theorized to have been abusive to his mother as well. It gives credit to the whole ‘you are the environment in which you are raised’ vibe.

HERE IS A SEGMENT FROM THE MARVEL WIKI FILES

Early Life

When Victor Creed’s mutation first manifested, he accidentally killed his brother over a piece of pie. His father confined him to a cellar and would systemically pull out Victor’s “devil teeth” in an attempt to purge the boy of his “demons”. Victor was chained like an animal in the family cellar for years until one day he chewed off his own hand in order to break free, subsequently murdering his father. Although he would later claim to have killed his mother as well, he actually spared her, and made sure she lived a comfortable life, until she was diagnosed with cancer and confined to a hospital, where she was killed by a member of the Red Right Hand.

Freed from his parents, Victor was unleashed upon society. At age thirteen, he reportedly rampaged across three Canadian provinces and killed at least three police officers. According to Creed, he remained in Canada and, at about fifteen, worked for the railroad, laying down rail from Calgary up to the Yukon. (The Canadian Pacific Railway reached Calgary in 1883 and the route up to the Yukon was completed around 1900. (If Victor Creed was 15 while laying rails that would place his birth between 1868 and 1885.) Among the workers on the line was a belligerent older man who delighted in picking on the teenage Creed. Though the man “had a hundred pounds on him”, Creed gutted him from crotch to Adam’s apple with his claws.

The other common image/ dictation of Creed’s torture in his younger years was presented in Deadpool Vol 4 issues #9 (which is part two of a three issue segment featuring Sabrethooth versus Deadpool) written by Gerry Duggan.

Mind you this publication happened AFTER the inversion event which left Creed actually on the good side of the spectrum. No longer under the control of his feral dark side, Victor teams up with Magneto in hopes to save mutant kind from the devastation that the Terrigenisis Mists, released by Black Bolt when combating Thanos, brought upon them.

Anyways, during the fight with Deadpool, Deadpool accuses Victor of killing his parents, when in reality Wade’s memory was wiped and the ultimate way to test the process was the order for Creed to take Wade to his parents house to ice them. Hey, given how many times people like Wade, Logan, and Victor got their memory wiped, exactly how much of this is truth and how much is a fabrication of their own minds to fill gaps that otherwise can’t be restored. But here’s a picture I’d wish to share:

This picture is before the oh so infamous one that has helped paste the word REDEMPTION on Creed’s forehead e.g. this one

Now for those of us who have been following the comics its clear as to why this particular scene had to happen. Creed was on the ‘road to redemption’, or as least traveling down it as best he can. The Inversion event freed him from the darkness in his mind, in his nature, that held him captive. That’s not to say Victor hasn’t been seen MANY TIMES being or helping the good guys. He’s not all evil, he just has less of a will power to push through the dark suggestions his feral nature forces him into.

So this particular segment of his past was written as it is to give Creed that redeeming sort of feel to him. So people can start empathizing because more and more has this guy started to become a very common face now that Wolverine (Logan) is pretty much dead.. then wasn’t dead and is now an old man.

What Creed has to deal with on the daily can be found in the 1995 release Sabretooth Special “Sabretooth in the Red Zone” Written by Fabian Nicieza

In conclusion.

If the consistencies of the story line remain true, Creed manifested his mutation I want to say around 7 or so.

Also in another conclusion I found this little tib bit under Creed’s father’s Marvel file labeled as Unusual Features: Amber eyes appear to “glow” (i.e. tapetum lucidum), a trait his son, would be noted by the Foreigner, to possess as well.

Watching "Star Trek: Strange New Worlds" is a lot of fun. I want to be clear that I'm enjoying myself, perhaps especially because the show suffers from many of the same issues as all previous "Star Trek" shows and I like picking at Doylist versus Watsonian explanations for things.

In one of the episodes of Season 2, all of the characters on the ship are suffering from this supernatural memory loss. They don't remember who they are or what they're meant to be doing. This issue hits the Enterprise over the course of many hours, enough time for senior members of the crew to become aware of the issue and decide that the Enterprise needs to get away from what's probably causing the issue. As a precaution, Spock even hands out datapads with personnel files to remind people of their own identities.

Unfortunately, this doesn't work out, because the memory loss apparently includes the ability to read. And I was immediately like, "Why didn't they ask the computer to periodically remind them of the situation? Why didn't they go into lockdown and set a looping announcement to keep everyone calm?" And it does turn out later on in the episode that the day is saved because the helmswoman accidentally prompts the ship's computer to remind her of who she is and what her role is. And I immediately pointed at the screen and the person I was watching with laughed.

The episode was fun and fairly solid. I find a lot about this show to be comparable to all previous "Star Trek" shows. But it IS amusing that this episode hinges on the idea that the senior officers of the ship who are supposedly pretty good on-their-feet problem-solvers, including a logically-minded Vulcan science officer, would not develop SEVERAL background plans in the event of further memory loss. Like, uh, carrying around datapads with personnel files is a single point of failure? And far less reliable than asking the computer to herd the crew and make announcements? What if someone drops their datapad? Should you not immediately strive to take a variety of precautions for everyone's safety? Your backups should have backups!

It's also amusing that the episode hinges on needing the helmswoman to pilot their way out of an asteroid field or whatever, because that really seems like something that should be trivial for the ship's computer. I don't remember if the episode gave us a sci-fi mumbo-jumbo excuse as to why a person needed to do it. But a human being just doesn't have the same reaction time or field of awareness as a computer, especially one 200 years in the future; maybe we don't want to rely on a computer all of the time, but there SHOULD realistically speaking be some background program that allows the ship's computer to plot a course in the event of an emergency. And it's a little ridiculous from an in-universe perspective to think that an organization like Starfleet would not have those backups already.

Like, I come from a background of more scientifically-minded problem-solvers with a handful of memory issues to their names, so we've adapted with techniques to cope with forgetting shit sometimes, and I just cannot fully suspend my disbelief regarding some of the things the writers has Starfleet do for plot reasons. So much can go wrong in space even before you bring glow clouds into it! Good engineers are paranoid fuckers! What can go wrong WILL go wrong.

(We watched the first episode of "Star Trek: Lower Decks" last night and I found it delightful. It IS set in the era of "The Next Generation", but nevertheless you'd think that Captain Pike and crew should have developed a series of "the entire crew has lost their minds again" protocols by now, and "Lower Decks" is lovingly making fun of that in the same vein as "Galaxy Quest".)

Thankfully, I mostly find this discrepancy for drama's sake funny.

In one of the earlier episodes, it was basically the show doing their own version of / a tribute to "Alien". And I have a great fondness for the original "Alien", so that was kind of fun to see. Nice. But if you do stop to, like, actually think about what's happening, this sequence of events is only really happening because 1a) you didn't send piloted drones in first to try to retrieve any logs about what happened and 1b) search for survivors without recklessly endangering half of the senior bridge crew.

2) None of these people are wearing protective suits or shield generators or whatever. They have BARE FACES when this destroyed ship they're exploring could have been taken down by a plague for all they know. None of the characters are ever even wearing HATS when they go to cold locations, because filmmakers don't like obscuring actor faces or ruining their hair. This episode is, for understandable reasons, prioritizing drama over... uh, indicating that Starfleet has decent safety regulations that include personal protective equipment.

3) They send EVERYONE into the spooky destroyed ship instead of holding various crewmembers back. Like, uh, maybe you should leave someone in the shuttle in case something goes wrong? There's an ion storm preventing transporter use and interfering with communicators again, sure, but... Starfleet hasn't developed a series of communication protocols besides "Aw, fuck, communicator's broke, better wait it out"? There's no alternate radio-esque technology that would allow for short range communication between an exploration crew and a grounded shuttle crew? You don't have a temporary communications machine to drop onto a planet? You can't even have little drones physically carry messages between the shuttle and the exploration crew?

Like, yes, I understand why the writers did things this way. "Star Trek" has such miraculous technology that writers have to fight for their fucking lives every episode to explain why the miracle technology isn't working this time. Nevertheless, when crewmembers start dying because Starfleet apparently doesn't have, like, decent safety protocols and backups, I am going to think in the back of my mind: "Okay, this redshirt's death is kind of on you guys this time. Send in a damn robot first."

Random Doctor Who Facts You Might Not Know, Part 11

The Second Doctor traveled with Jamie again after his departure while working for the Time Lords. The reason he doesn't remember this is because the Time Lords regularly erased his memory.

The Ice Warriors were originally created as a slave race to serve the Gandorans.

Strax carries dehydrated water in his first aid kit.

Homunculette and Marie are a Time Lord/TARDIS duo who consider each other "companions" and have incredibly intense feelings about one another.

The sexual attraction to humans by non-humans is called humanophilia.

James Lethbridge-Stewart was the Brigadier's older brother. At a young age, he was forced by the Great Intelligence in an act of revenge against the Brigadier's future self to jump to his death over Golitha Falls. The young Brigadier was too short to retrieve his body. Their memories of James were later removed by the Great Intelligence.

After the year 12,000,000, some humans evolved into Homo solarians and lived inside the sun.

Oswin "Winnie" Clarence, a splinter of Clara Oswald, was a research graduate at Snowcap University in Antarctica. She saved the Twelfth Doctor and Clara Oswald.

WIP Whenever

Tagged by @ghostoffuturespast, and I just realised @gloryride. Thank you!

I made new headers for my WIP Whenever posts! As you can already see, they're inspired by the display of the Pip-Boy and computer terminals from Fallout 3 and 4.

WARNING! LONG AND DETAILED POST AHEAD! MANY PICTURES INCLUDED!

Full post below the cut

Mostly VP related for Cyberpunk. Working on a 'fan novella' related to the changes going on with the crew, esp. with regards to the impending departure of Trey on his new journey, and the addition of Jakey to the crew. A lot of costuming updates and fixes for new and old characters alike as I work through and modernise NPV files and such with new knowledge.

VALERIE OCAMPO-GONZALEZ - APPEARANCE AND LORE UPDATE

I've given Val her glowing yellow iris rings back, as I believe that they're an essential part of her character design. I've also settled on her accent, it's somewhere between that LA Chicano accent and a general Filipina-American English accent. Val has a tendency to code switch mid-sentence, and subconsciously shift into Cebuano in high-stress situations.

DORIAN BAUTISTA - APPEARANCE UPDATE

I've also finally updated some of Dorian's appearances. It's been just over a year since I first made Dorian as an NPV and he's due for an update. I believe his 'Corpo Tactical' and 'Fixer' outfits are a lot better suited now. I can actually imagine Dorian as a background fixer NPC at the Afterlife, and not think he's out of place.

"mfw Meredith hits me with that 'enny store employment termination."

Dorian has crossed the Rubicon and gone full fixer. I've resurrected a plot point from the original Brother's Shadow storyline where Dorian is fired from Militech due to Meredith's machinations, and he and his colleague Kaylee Anderson end up going out on the edge, working for Nightowl, the always illusive and unseen man behind Val's crew.

JAKE McCORMICK - APPEARANCE UPDATE

Jakey's finally bought some new clothes! I thought one day he needed some Aviators, and from there I thought that he also needed a jacket. Hence, two new casual appearances. Then there's his 'business attire.' Jake found this surplus NCPD vest and duty belt, and now it's his standard 'work' attire. The Militech eyepiece was a gift from Nightowl for 'good work performance.'

Since I came up with the Buckeye Wasteland idea, I've since put that to the side as my thoughts about my Fallout OCs evolve. Firstly, let's talk about Laura West.

LAURA WEST - APPEARANCE AND LORE UPDATE

"The Volunteer"

The protagonist of my Fallout fanfic, Laura West is probably the last person you'd expect to become a wasteland adventurer. She's not particularly strong, she's not a crack shot with a weapon, and she's not particularly lucky. She has passable charisma and endurance, but where she really shines is her Intelligence.

Before being sent on an important mission to save Vault 53, Laura worked as a computer technician in the vault, a job she was fairly well-suited for. However, she was the last pick to be sent to find a reactor regulator for Vault 53's damaged fusion reactor.

Ezra, the Overseer's son, was better qualified, but the Overseer couldn't bear to send him out into the wasteland, so Laura volunteered to go in his place, to Ezra's horror, because Ezra has a thing for Laura (a feeling not reciprocated by our heroine).

EZRA JOHNSON - APPEARANCE

This is Ezra. Ezra's father is the Overseer of Vault 53, and as a consequence, he gets away with way more than most vault residents could ever hope to. He's not very intelligent, strong or charismatic, but he's a crack shot, has excellent endurance and the luck of the Irish. He could accidentally kill a deathclaw and be none the wiser.

Ezra works in the maintenance division in Vault 53, a vital position, given that everything in Vault 53 was designed by Vault-Tec to fail constantly, as part of the experiment to test how residents would respond to the constant stress of having to constantly work to keep the vault from failing. He is also a massive bookworm, and has memorised just about every volume of the Vault Dweller Survival Guide.

Ezra also has a thing for Laura, a feeling that Laura doesn't reciprocate.

Moving swiftly on...

I've been working on a short story set in the Freerunners universe, elaborating on our favourite definitely not Judy Alvarez-inspired space ranger starship pilot, Zoe Alvarado, and her past as a Confederation of Free Settlements Ranger. I really need to get all the Freerunners characters drawn, because I feel that just telling people about how they look isn't working. I will probably end up using Cyberpunk 2077 to visualise their faces for y'all, at least.

Cyberpunk RED: 2077 Edition - The Old Blood

Remember my Cyberpunk vampire shit from a couple months back? I know some of you remember that, before I took my hiatus and recovered from yet another work-related stress issue. Well, what I haven't shared is that it's been running as a Cyberpunk RED campaign!

My players have learned the dark secret of the Consortium Sanguinis, and one of them has been kidnapped! It's a race against the clock to save him (and his AI brain ghost) from the machinations of literal vampires who walk amongst us!

A large collection of small rants about games/series/franchises that have changed my life

Why so serious. So anyway howdy my freaky fellows, today I'm gonna be doing 4-5 sentence (Probably more. Do I even know myself?) rants about games/series/franchises that have changed my life. You know this. You read the title. Obviously. Unless you didn't. Then you're stupid. Stupid dummy dum-dum.

Kidding, love you all thank you for all the support it genuinely means the world to me and oh god I'm rambling just stop talking

[CLEARS THROAT AGGRESSIVELY]

So we're gonna start with a game that I stumbled upon accidentally and has made a huge mark on my life and honestly my personality as well.

DIALTOWN:

WOWZERS, THIS GAME WAS INCREDIBLE. I didn't even MEAN to find it, I was looking for DDLC and I searched 'dating sim' on steam and it popped up. I thought "fuck it, I'm buyin' it" and now here I am. I spent half of my summer staying up until morning just trying to get all of the endings and achievements, and holy shit was it worth it. That game made me laugh and sob and scream into my pillow all in the span of 5 minutes. Chapter three was incredible, the emotions you can convey without even seeing facial expressions is honestly so awesome to me. Norm is a HUGE comfort character for me. (I GOT HIM IN THE SOULMATE QUIZ‼️) I'm so excited for the DLC to come out, and hopefully I'll get the Mingus plushie and any more that get re-released or any new ones!

Next is another game (or game trilogy, I suppose) that I didn't really mean to come by. Luckily I have a stupid brother that introduces me to things I never thought I'd enjoy.

DAYSHIFT AT FREDDY'S:

Wow, would you look at that, another game series by the hound himself! Now, I didn't have a computer until about half a year ago. Got one for my birthday. I found out about this game LONG before Dialtown. So it took me a while to actually play the game. But I had seen fanart, playthroughs, analysis...es? And a lot more. I was obsessed with davesport for months before I even got to play the game. But when I finally did play it, I was SO excited, and for good reason. This game got me into FNaF fangames, and introduced me to my weird thing for phone men. The third game made me sob my eyes out the first time I played it through the good ending. Yet another example of a game that had me giggling one moment and bawling the next. WHY DO YOU WISH FOR ME TO SUFFER, DOGGO??/silly (ily man. keep doin the do.)

Up next is THE original.

FIVE NIGHTS AT FREDDY'S:

Wow. Now THIS is a game that left a mark on me. Got me into indie horror. I first played the game with my brother when I was like 6 I think?? It scared the piss outta me then, but over the years I learned to love it. I damn sure made a lot of cringe fanart when I was like 10..... But hey, it was fun. I kinda miss those times, even if I was seen as extremely weird for it. Thanks for years of fun, Scott. Couldn't have made it through life in my household without you.

Up next is my ALL TIME FAVORITE SIDE-SCROLLER.

CUPHEAD:

I love this game SO much. I first watched my dad play it on his computer, and he let me make my own save file! I wasn't very good for a long time, and I'll be honest, I'm still not exactly a professional. But it's fun, and practice makes perfect, right? I always chose Mugman, while my brother chose Cuphead. We would pretend we were the characters, and it was one of the only times I ever used to bond with him. Thanks for bringing me and my goober brother closer together, Cuphead.

MINECRAFT:

This game at least deserves a sentence or two. It's still one of my favorite games to play when I need to relax. I love making worlds with my siblings and building silly stuff with them.

ANIMAL CROSSING:

I spent weeks on this game. Probably even months. Maybe even a year or two. I don't play it as much anymore, but I still like to visit my island and see how my little villagers are doin every once in a while. Still pissed that I could never find Raymond, though. I tried so many times to find that silly little cat. I still do every so often. I'll get you eventually, Raymond. Mark my words.....

Moving on from games now. Let's talk about TELEVISION!

GRAVITY FALLS:

Wow. Just wow. What is there to even say? I love this show so very much. It makes me cry every time without fail. The fandom has its bad sides, but overall I love being apart of it. The Stan twins are my beloved babies and I will never let them go.

RISE OF THE TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES:

Now THIS is a show that left a HUGE mark on me. Hell, I even changed my name to Donnie for almost a year... I don't like to think about this phase. But this show is amazing, it was the reason I'm friends with a lot of my friends to this day. It deserves to get a re-run, even more seasons. Top tier show, would recommend.

EDDSWORLD:

This show HEAVILY influenced my artstyle and a lot of my general humor. I've been obsessed with it off and on for a few years now, and it's a great show. It's silly and fun, and it's ALSO a reason I'm friends with a few of my best friends.

That's it for now, folks!! Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

I might do another one of these, depends on how I feel about it. Hope you enjoyed my yaptastic yapping session.

Have a great morning, afternoon, evening or night!!! Love you all!!!!!

[roomwithavoid]

i didn’t like it. i didn’t like world of goo 2 and i want to fucking cry about it. i AM crying about it.

world of goo is literally my ALL TIME comfort game. it was my favorite game as a kid. i played it hundreds of times. i have it on my childhood wii and on mobile and on steam i’ve bought it so many times because i love it so much. coming home from school in kindergarten and seeing my brother playing it on the tv, how it was revealed to me my family now had a wii, kickstarting my love of video games. it literally might be one of my earliest memories. one of my first special interests. hell, i had a world of goo themed birthday party in kindergarten! my mom made cupcakes that looked like goo balls with marshmallows for eyes and a cake with donut holes connected with sticks to look like a stack of goo. i played this game before i could read. hell, playing this game is part of what TAUGHT me how to read. i still remember accidentally deleting my save file because i didn’t know how to read the words “erase save data” and crying for days, learning for the first time in my life how to accept loss and try again. and i did. i played it over and over. i played it on my ipad in the car while waiting to pick up my brother from school in the 4th grade. i remember streaming myself playing it for what must’ve been the hundredth time to my highschool friends because i wanted to share something that was so important to me. it never, and i mean NEVER felt like it lost any magic just because i had gotten older.

i was ELATED when world of goo 2 was announced. i couldn’t believe my eyes. it was like the thing child me wished on stars for finally came true, despite me now being 20. and i played it in the span of a couple days, and you know what? i didn’t like it.

sure there were good things, the graphical upgrade was nice to look at, and the remasters/remixes(?) of the old songs were lovely to listen to. but i honestly don’t know if i have that much more to say positively.

the levels were almost entirely these sort of “remixes” of the old levels, usually with some sort of added difficulty. the new goo mechanics didn’t feel fun or inspired, and shifted from the bridge-building aspect to a “look what happens when you shoot liquid in different directions” simulator. the few new mechanics that actually feel fun are criminally underutilized. but none of those issues, issues i probably could’ve overlooked if the puzzles were a smidge more interesting, hold a candle to the section that singlehandedly soured the entire game for me.

like in the original world of goo, chapter 4 takes us into the future, introducing a chapter-long gimmick that completely changes the way the game is played. however, unlike the internet gimmick in the original world of goo, which kept the core mechanics with a new coat of pain and introduced enticing new goo species to play with, world of goo 2’s chapter 4 introduces a split path with 3 different gimmicks that ALL ware out their welcome the second they’re introduced.

chapter 4 almost assaults you with the impression that the developers would rather be making literally any other game than world of goo 2. enjoying the physics based puzzle game? well how would you like to play 2d golf? what about a point and click noir visual novel? no? alright, not to worry, we still have sections that involve goo, but fret not, because we’ve introduced an exhausting gimmick revolving around how coordinated you are with moving your mouse in a perfect circle! oh, your hands are a little shaky? too bad! this level is unbeatable if you move even a millimeter incorrectly! the best (WORST) part of the chapter? it’s themed around the tired cliche of “game company sells out and makes a hundred of their game until they’re unrecognizable garbage” because playing a bunch of intentionally garbage games that masquerade as a game you love when they have nothing in common except maybe one character is always SOOOO much fun, right?

any fucking good graces i had with the sloppy puzzles of the first three chapters were shattered into pieces because of chapter four. there is legitimately nothing cute or funny about baiting your audience, who mind you has waited SIXTEEN YEARS for a sequel, into spending an entire chapter making some shitty noir game that you KNOW is shitty.

not to mention, the strong anti-capitalist metaphor from the first game translates to a muddy “i dunno maybe people have too many babies?” in this game. wog1’s message was so well done and clear and straightforward but wog2? wog2 is all over the damn place. hell if i know what they were even trying to say with half of it. i understood the first game’s message as a kid better than i understood this one as an adult! the only coherent bit of it was the “we have to figure out how to build tracks faster than the train is going” thing which was immediately retconned i guess by the train going in circles????

what a fucking disappointment.

[boomboxboi]

Pretty random ask but...The Bucci gang playing an rpg?

Have a nice day :)

Bucci Gang RPG Styles!!

Are y’all ready for my weird RPG game plugs up in here???? Also lol whoops some aren’t really RPG but LISTENNNNN also I may make like 27383939 variations of this in the futureeeee

Bruno Bucciarati

He would be really into Ciel Fledge: Daughter Raising Simulator RPG.

He would be the absolute BEST parent, too.

A good balance of strict but gentle parenting.

Oh, you want him to play a traditional style RPG?

He would play anything similar to a paladin role.

And always goes Chaotic Good.

Justice will be had!

But- he prefers RPG games that focus more on aspects of raising things.

Also loves farming & fishing simulators.

Has only ONE save file.

Leone Abbacchio

Fallout New Vegas.

He likes the idea of the world having nuclear fallout.

He has about three ongoing games at any time.

Says he’ll try different styles but always ends up playing the same type of character.

He tried Oblivion, once.

Chose High Elf.

He has High Elf energy.

And solely uses necromancy magic.

It’s funny to kill someone and then make them fight for you.

Would play Sword of the Necromancer but he sucks at dungeon crawlers.

Lawful Evil is his play style.

Using the rules set in place to screw over NPC’s makes his day.

Pannacotta Fugo

Really big into MMORGP’s and strategy JRPG’s.

If he plays open world RPG’s, like Skyrim, Fallout, Witcher, etc, he sets very strict rules for what his characters can and cannot do per play through.

Orc Main on World of Warcraft.

Orc Main whenever he can.

Hands down has a whole other persona when playing MMORPG’s.

Very in character.

Multiple characters.

Multiple saves.

JRPG strategies also make his brain tickle.

Likes Eternal Sonata because the setup for it is unique.

Wide range of moral alignments.

Just depends on his character.

Will KILL you if you override any of his saves.

Looking at YOU, Narancia.

Narancia Ghirga

Chaotic Evil.

Plays Fable.

The original one, though.

Will steal everything he can.

Also if dialogue in games allows it, he will always lie and cheat.

Also really likes farming simulators and RPG’s that allow romance.

A real casanova.

Also spends forever if customizing his characters is an option to make them look like him.

Never understands game mechanics so he just does whatever he wants to do and deals with the consequences.

Does not use the level up trees in games because it’s too complicated to understand.

Asks Fugo to do the level ups for him.

Accidentally saves over Fugo’s files.

Also really likes Dragon Age because the romance aspects and companion interactions bring him joy.

Guido Mista

Also really LOVES Dragon Age.

Chaotic Evil or Chaotic Good.

Loves romance options in any game.

A few saves but he never revisits old saves.

Also super into games like Stardew Valley, Animal Crossing, and other similar games.

Backed Chef RPG per Giorno’s suggestion and is very stoked for its release.

Loves spending time in level up trees and is very particular on how his characters are built.

Morrigan simp.

Alistair simp.

Saves over Fugo’s files and blames Narancia, sometimes.

Plays My Time at Portia and is obsessed with being a master builder.

Switches between romancing Ginger and Gust because he CAN.

Giorno Giovanna

Spends all money on backing games on Kickstarter.

Always recommends those games to the others.

Bruno, Fugo, and Guido love the recommendations.

Abbacchio refuses.

Narancia just finds that he cannot wait that long for a game to be released.

Chaotic Good.

Neutral Good.

Sometimes Lawful Good to a scary extent.

All of his characters that have customization options never look like him.

Rarely deviates his play style.

Does not care for romance options in games.

100% completionist.

All side quests are completed.

Trish Una

Very big into MMORPG’s.

But does not tell ANYONE.

Actually a pro at them.

Loves Asheron’s Call and World of Warcraft.

Big into the marketplaces and selling stuff she farms.

Surface level, she only presents as someone who likes Stardew Valley.

Huge into JRPG’s like Avalon Code, Eternal Sonata, and Luminous Arc 2.

Unique game mechanics make her very excited.

Also loves romance options.

But plays as True Neutral on most occasions.

May have found out what realm Fugo plays on and secretly goes on to harass him.

Finds Fugo’s online personas to be hilarious.

[talentforlying]

@beyondthescully: meta about those criminal records scully is 1000% going to look into — SEND META TOPICS.

constantine's criminal record with the british government is file #A571B, and he knows it by heart because he's spent years mind-tricking arresting officers into avoiding it so he doesn't come up against more trouble than he wants to deal with. it doesn't help much if someone researches him independently, when he's not aware they're doing it, but if he does know, he puts a little glamour down so that their eyes simply skip over it when they look him up.

i wouldn't say that he's afraid of people looking up his record, per se, but he certainly dreads it being brought up, since it lists him being convicted of the murder of a child + a nightclub full of people — which, obviously, tends to get a very strong reaction from anyone who didn't hear the real story of newcastle from him ahead of time; we all know that he inadvertently damned astra to hell by summoning (and failing to properly name or bind) the demon nergal to save her from the terror elemental she accidentally created, but without that important context, it reads horrifically — and because it includes the fact that he was committed to ravenscar secure facility in lieu of prison time, which tends to kill people's trust that he's telling the truth about the supernatural and knows what he's doing.

speaking of which, the newcastle incident was highly publicized across the UK at the time (1978), and continues to raise huge red flags when people go to look him up in government databases, but since it was pre-internet, there are no news articles online other than ones that were digitized later and mystery of the casanova club murders / what happened to mucous membrane? (his band) blog posts on conspiracy & occult fansites. it's kind of an urban legend these days, since constantine is now the last survivor of the original crew and band and his name is notorious in occult circles, but you'll never get him to talk about it unless he's being forced to defend himself or he trusts you with his fucking life, and good luck with that second one.

US databases will also include a murder conviction from new york in 2000, when he was framed for the death of a top gangster, sentenced to max security, and later cleared, but since he was cleared, under new york law, that record is now sealed and can only be seen by federal, state, and local law enforcement. unfortunately, that one's an azzarello storyline so i plan to rework the fuck out of those events, because fuck azzarello.)

[WRH makes sure his overworked employee takes a break]

RuoCheng | Mo Dao Zu Shi Modern AU 26-12-2021

[modern work office!#jiangcheng and boss!#wenruohan (maybe implied pre-slash ruocheng🤔😏)]

wrh sighed after the long day at work, rubbing the exhaustion from his eyes. Things had been a bit rougher at work recently, but they were soon finally going to get through it.

he got up, getting ready to go home when he was on his way down he realised one of his best employees was still working diligently at his desk, no one to be seen around and barely any light still on.

A small smile appeared on his lips at how hardworking jc was, he truly had given his all in the last couple of days to help them get out of there, and he didn't regret taking him in after he got out of the Jiang inc.

he walked over to him, frowning a bit when he saw how many empty coffee cups were on his desk, dark circles under his eyes as the man was tiredly working, grumbling while deleting something he messed up from his exhaustion.

"Jiang Cheng~" sang lowly wrh in the young man's ear, making him jump and turn around with a blush on his cheeks. "B-boss!! I thought you were already gone" he said.

wrh only hummed, leaning over jiang cheng to look at what he was working on, saving his files and logging off (not without making sure all progress was saved) under the protest of his hardworking employee.

"I was nearly finished!" jc complained, trying to spin his chain back, only to be coaxed out of his chair by strong hands on his shoulder.

"I know you were close to finishing, my a-cheng is the best employee, always finishing his task quickly and flawlessly" he praised, enjoying the blush on the man's face at the compliment, "But I cannot accept you ruining your health by overworking yourself".

if others could have a break, so could jc. he didn't need to do so much overtime to be considered good (this was something wrh was still working on making him stop doing. baby steps).

"I am not overworked" jc tried to argue.

"In the last five minutes I heard you curse the god ten times because you were accidentally messing up because of fatigue" wrh pointed out.

jc looked embarrassed that he had been standing behind him for so long and even saw that.

"Come here," wrh said as he saw him looking down, pulling the young man in a high, satisfied at how he leaned onto him. "I need my best employee well-rested, I would be mad at myself if I knew something happened because you overworked yourself".

It took a bit of convincing, but wrh ended up coaxing jc to his place (no way he would let him ride the train and maybe work some more at home).

He made him a good rather late dinner, letting him take a good bath and borrow clothes.

jc was supposed to work the next day, but wrh decided he would have the same day off as him, making him rest at his place.

This also allowed wrh to spoil jc, helping him relax as much as possible, forget about work. be it watching whatever tv-show he may want to see, got get food, do some shopping.

they went to get a massage, which he could see did really good for the usually tensed jc.

there was nothing more satisfying than to see a well-rested and well-relaxed little a-cheng.

wrh would totally make him rest again the next time he saw him overwork himself.

okay I think that's enough things

the moral here is that I start a lot of things and do not finish very many of them

[absolutely-esme]

Okay, I had some thoughts on this.

Trigger warning: mention of rape

It's only a brief reference to a canon event, and is not described in detail, but the mention is there, so it seemed important to give the warning.

The actual story ideas are under the break so people can make their judgement calls before they start reading. My reading style is direct-download, and I know it can be irritating to accidentally absorb enough of something to get hooked when I know I shouldn't read the whole thing for mental health reasons.

First off, Jazz and Danny don't get any noticeable powers from Starfire's genes. No flight or energy blasts without ghostly components. No superstrength (at least, not with Jack Bursts-through-walls-like-the-koolaid-man Fenton as the measure of normal). No enhanced durability (not Compared to Maddie Doesn't-notice-the-recoil-from-a-bazooka-half-her-size Fenton).

Now, I'm imagining Team Phantom goes through an entire high stakes story arc before Danny and Jazz's origins come to light.

Sam and Tucker develop powers as liminals.

Some threat crops up that is just too precisely tailored to Danny's weaknesses for him to manage on his own. He's captured. Things are dire.

Jazz recreates Danny's accident. Her friend, Spike, followed her out to where she built her portal because she's been acting off and he's worried as fuck. Spike arrives just in time to stand in front of the portal and watch as she turns it on from the inside. Spike is now in more or less the same boat as Sam and Tucker, albeit at an earlier point in his liminal development. He doesn't have powers right away but he will.

Jazz manages to save Danny (despite being newly dead and still clumsy with her powers), but the two of them together provide enough context for people to start drawing parallels between the Fenton siblings and the Phantom siblings. People are suddenly listening to Wes.

The GIW are going after everyone ghost-adjacent now that they know it's possible. Things are getting dangerous.

Jack and Maddie are on Team Phantom's side. They realize that they've been clinging to wrong-headed ideas. Painful as it might be to realize they poured so much into something they were wrong about, every scientist knows that you discard a hypothesis that's been disproven, and they will protect the kids no matter what. (They might be mad scientists with questionable morals and judgement, but they love their kids with all the ferocity of a hundred mama bears, and nothing will change that.)

Jack and Maddie, together with most of Amity Park, wage guerilla warfare against the GIW and anyone who sides with them. Unfortunately, the GIW have become more of a credible threat over time.

Things reach a tipping point when some of the GIW's agents manage to capture Dani at some truck stop somewhere and the resistance loses some ground getting her out.

Jack and Maddie go out in a blaze of glory buying time for the kids to equip themselves and make a run for it. They manage to direct the kids to a particular set of files before putting everything into a last stand to give the kids time to escape.

Danny, Sam, Tucker, Jazz, Spike, and Dani all flee into the night in the new and improved Specter Speeder.

It takes a while for anyone to look at the files. They have other concerns. They need to finish treating Dani's wounds beyond the slapdash patch job They managed on site. They also have to figure out shifts for flying the Specter Speeder and how sleeping arrangements are going to work in a moving vehicle until they can safely stop.

Eventually, someone looks into the files Jack and Maddie had insisted they take. Danny and Jazz take as much time to freak out as they can afford, then set Tucker to the task of researching their gene donors to see if they might have someone to turn to.

The Heroes' cyber security is good, but they aren't working with the kind of supernatural advantage Tucker has because their team doesn't have overlap between tech people and magic people which means they don't even recognize the possibility of some of what Tucker can do, let alone know how to defend against it. They likely notice the breach, but Tucker gets some info (though it may not be complete).

Red Hood is quickly ruled out because of the "duffel bag full of heads" incident, and also because the attack on Robin in Titans Tower showed willingness to harm kids (whether or not they know that he wasn't actually much older than Robin at the time, I'll leave up to you). I don't know if they had context for the bag of heads or not, but it doesn't matter either way. No amount of context would make the duffel bag full of heads not intimidating.

Starfire is also quickly ruled out because they found security footage showing an argument about what happened with Mirage. The argument brings up the shape-shifting and that Nightwing didn't know it was her. The kids don't bother looking for additional context because the victim-blaming aspect of calling a victim of assault a cheater is awful on its own and also bears an ugly resemblance to anti-ghost sentiment (they died, and so they are evil monsters). Even if they could be sure she wouldn't turn that attitude on them, they still couldn't stomach being around her. She's a trigger now. They can't look at her without hearing the GIW say "ghost scum."

Nightwing, fortunately, doesn't seem to turn up any Red Flags that they can find, so the kids set out for Bloodhaven.

I imagine there's a good deal of angst, fluff, and righteous violence against GIW agents going forward.

Nightwing quite suddenly has six kids. Only one is his biologically but they're a package deal and he can't just turn them away because apparently Armageddon might be happening?

At first it seems like a fairly standard "new family via mad science" scenario. It's sudden and weird, but it's happened enough in the cape community that that it's not completely uncharted territory. It's kind of wild watching his daughter play fight with her little brother in mid air once he finds a place and convinces them that it's safe to use their powers there.

Then the particulars of the case start coming to light.

Nightwing has mixed feelings about the mad scientists involved. They experimented with other people's DNA without consent and made two children. That's fairly clearcut supervillain behavior. Unlike most supervillains who tried their hand at cloning, they didn't use the kids for some kind of evil plot. They just raised them. They loved the kids so much they apparently fought to the death to give them the chance to escape.

Oh that's right, the government was apparently after the kids because ghosts are illegal now, and the kids are close enough to count despite clearly being alive, and they had to flee after some disastrous happening while rescuing the younger kid's clone.

That's right, not only did the original pair of mad scientists create clones/test tube babies (before they died fighting the forces of evil), but apparently some other mad scientist had cloned one of them because of course kids with his, Starfire's, and Jason's DNA became superheroes and attracted the attention that particular brand of crazy.

And of course he's dealing with this alone until he can convince the skittish flight risks to let him call someone because they don't want their other gene donors involved for some reason. (He can kind of understand in Jason's case, the bag of heads was very public and not his best moment)

Then Nightwing gets the reading material and it gets worse.

The kids have notebooks on their powers and files on their origins. Nightwing is going to have to read them. The files are easy enough to get through, he's dealt with enough mad scientists and these are pretty tame compared to some.

The notebooks are harder to deal with. He has to read the scrawlings of children discussing the particulars of two of their number being dead and how their deaths affect things. Page after page of power testing data interspersed with horrifying revelations casually dropped right next to light-hearted jokes and little doodles of cartoon ghosts.

I saw an idea called death echoes mentioned somewhere, that I thought was interesting but wanted to try a slightly different take, so just know that this next bit is neither an entirely original idea nor 100% faithful to the source.

The notebooks mention that powers related to a ghost's death tend to be "A Lot." What, precisely this means isn't specified. Dick is left trying to figure that out as he reads about how his daughter's younger brother has a sonic attack that he calls a "ghostly wail" because he died screaming and his daughter has something she calls "last stand" because she "stayed on her feet even when her heart stopped" and "didn't allow herself to scream so that she would have a different power that the enemy who captured her brother couldn't counter." They both have a power labeled "ghost zapper" because their bodies were flooded with electrically charged ectoplasm as they died (wtf does "not too intense, got used to it quickly" mean).

The first half of Jazz's notebook reads like a cross between a lab journal and a diary as she details the steps leading up to the death she planned out for herself with bits of her thoughts and feelings about the surrounding situation slipping through. The first few pages about her powers are written with enough pressure to leave grooves in the paper and covered in stray marks, as if the pen was falling out of her hand every time she relaxed.

Nightwing is beginning to see Hood's point about the merits of lethal force. Then the kids explain that in a town with a direct connection to the Gost Zone, killing someone just makes them more dangerous.

...

On another note, Jazz's ghost outfit looks a lot like Danny's. She didn't have time for anything fancy, so she just grabbed a plain white lab suit and drew an emblem on it with a pack of colored Sharpies. She drew an orange and yellow bird shape that turned blue and purple with the palette swap. Her hair is blue. She has a pair of lab goggles pushed upon top of her head in place of her usual headband. She calls herself Pheonix. The Amity Parks community decides that her name must be Phoenix Phantom because everyone recognizes the way siblings bicker.

Tucker's powers are a mix of minor technopathy (derived directly from ghostliness as a result of being liminal), and inventing a new branch of technology-based magic. Apparently the King Tuck incident left him with some memories of Duulaman doing some magic research/spellcrafting that would go on to become the basis for nearly every system of magic use now practiced and Tucker went "pft, I could do that," and went and revolutionized magic his own way.

Sam got a bit of a connection to nature as her liminal power and then used that as a springboard to create another entirely new system of magic use because she refused to be outdone. She calls hers wild magic.

Spike is the Punk-looking guy Jazz was talking to in the first episode. I've decided that they're friends because Jazz has a life outside of being Danny's sister.

Since Spike only appeared for a few seconds in that one episode, I get to decide what he's like here. I have decided that he's ride-or-die loyal, smart, usually fairly level-headed (though this is because he made a point to learn how to manage his temper after it got him in trouble a few to many times). He enjoys wood carving, leather working, and similar crafts. He made the armbands he wears.

His powers will likely be something related to handcrafts when he eventually develops them. Maybe small energy blades that can carve very precisely, maybe something about imbueing his creations with various properties. He doesn't currently have any plans to create a new branch of magic, but with the way things have been going it wouldn't be surprising if he did so by accident.

Spike is surprisingly good with Dani. No one knows how or why, but the semi-feral chaos gremlin will actually settle down around him.

Fenton Ethics and Test Tube Babies

In order to get the funding they need for their Ghost stuff, Jack and Maddie Fenton had to do some... rather illegal things when they left college.

One of them was testing alien DNA and seeing if it was compatible with human DNA.

However getting their hands on Superman's DNA or any of the main Leaguers would be far to hard for two up coming scientists and would run the risk of them being caught. Instead they set their sights on some of the younger aliens.

Such as Starfire, or rather Koriand'r.

They manage to get their hands on her DNA, and also her boyfriend (Nightwing) at the time and began to test it. They felt unsure with what they're doing but they needed the funding and in order to make themself feel better with what they're doing they decided if they were test her DNA with someone she was seeing it would be... better for their own conscience (it doesn't make what they're doing okay but they think so)

Eventually they succeeded in the testing! A baby can be made between a human and a alien.

HOWEVER because we know how the Fenton's get, they kind of go ahead of what they were only meant to do, which was just to TEST the compatibility of the DNA. Basically the paper's before the test phase.

With them getting tunnel vision on this project... They create said baby.

Then before they could show off that creating a new baby via test tubes actually works, they were told that the paperwork they were working on were going to be given to a new team, thank you for your work, here is the money for your ghost stuff, and have a good day.

The people who hired them then just leave.... Without knowing about the newly made baby.

Jack and Maddie name the baby Jasmine.

A few years later when little Jazz asks for a sibling... Well they bring out the old test tubes and papers.

And even though Starfire is no longer dating Nightwing, her new partner Red Hood would make a wonderful male donor for their future kid.

Broken Lava Screen? Here’s the Best Solution for You

A broken mobile screen can feel like a disaster, especially if you rely on your phone daily. Lava mobile phones are known for their durability and performance, but even they are not immune to accidents. Whether you dropped your phone or accidentally pressed it too hard, a cracked screen can disrupt your daily routine. Fortunately, there’s a reliable solution for Lava mobile phone repair and screen replacement.

In this article, we’ll explore the best steps to take when your Lava screen breaks and introduce you to a professional service that guarantees a hassle-free repair experience.

Why is Lava Screen Replacement Important?

The screen is one of the most critical components of a smartphone. It doesn’t just display visuals; it also serves as the primary interface between you and the device. A damaged screen can lead to several issues:

Touch Sensitivity Problems: A cracked screen may not respond accurately to your touch. This makes even simple tasks frustrating.

Display Damage: Cracks can worsen over time, potentially distorting colors or causing dead pixels.

Safety Concerns: Broken glass poses a risk of cuts to your fingers.

Device Longevity: Ignoring screen damage can lead to further internal damage.

To avoid these problems, you should address screen damage as soon as possible.

Steps to Take When Your Lava Mobile Screen Breaks

1. Stay Calm and Assess the Damage

Accidents happen, but panicking won’t help. Examine your phone carefully. Check whether the crack is superficial or if it has affected the display and touch functionality. If your phone is still usable, avoid applying pressure to the damaged area.

2. Back Up Your Data

Before proceeding with any repairs, ensure your data is safe. Use cloud storage or connect your phone to a computer to back up important files, photos, and contacts.

3. Avoid DIY Repairs

You may feel tempted to fix the screen yourself using online tutorials and repair kits. However, mobile screens are delicate, and one wrong move could cause more harm than good. DIY repairs often lead to incomplete fixes or additional damage.
