Monthly Phantom Check Up
Frostbite, Danny’s overly enthusiastic yeti doctor, shows up at the Watchtower for a surprise check-up, and things get awkward fast.
———
The Watchtower was in chaos. It wasn’t a typical day of chaos—no alien invasions or time-traveling villains—but something far more uncomfortable. Frostbite, Danny Phantom’s towering Yeti doctor and self-proclaimed “Master of Ghost Medicine,” had arrived unannounced. His massive, fur-covered frame loomed in the main meeting room as he carefully unpacked a series of glowing, intimidating medical instruments.
Superman leaned over to Wonder Woman, voice low. “Is this... normal?”
Wonder Woman’s brow furrowed in thought. “I don’t think this falls under the usual protocol for supernatural beings.”
Across the room, Danny Phantom stood in all his half-dead glory—or rather, slouched in defeat, wearing a hoodie that seemed far too large for his ghostly frame. He was clearly trying to shrink away from the entire situation, one pale hand covering his face in mortification.
“Frostbite,” Danny hissed in a hushed whisper, “you couldn’t have waited until we got back to the Ghost Zone?”
Frostbite beamed, oblivious to Danny’s pleading. “Nonsense, Great One! Your health is of utmost importance, and I detected a slight imbalance in your ectoplasmic core. It must be addressed immediately!”
Batman stood against the wall, eyes narrowing as he watched the scene unfold. “Ectoplasmic core?”
Frostbite nodded solemnly as he began to prepare an absurdly long, glowing probe. “Indeed, Batman. The Great One is half-ghost, and thus, his core requires regular maintenance. There are many nuances to his biology that need tending to.”
Danny groaned. “Oh, Ancients, kill me now…”
The Justice League—gathered for what they thought was going to be a strategy meeting—could only look on in awkward silence. Aquaman coughed and pretended to adjust his trident. Green Lantern pulled up a holographic projection of the solar system, which he stared at intensely despite not needing to. Flash, of course, was barely containing his laughter, lips twitching every time Frostbite said something ridiculous.
“Now,” Frostbite continued, holding up a glowing vial of something green and gooey, “the first concern is the ectoplasm imbalance. Too much exposure to the Ghost Zone can cause buildup, which leads to... ah, let’s say, irregularities.”
Superman cleared his throat. “Irregularities?”
Frostbite nodded gravely. “Yes. In the human digestive system, it might be compared to... indigestion. But in ghosts, it manifests as random phasing, ectoplasmic leakage, and occasional transformation into a much more terrifying version of oneself.”
Superman blinked. “That sounds... worse than indigestion.”
“Oh, much worse!” Frostbite said brightly, not catching the sarcasm. “Especially during ghost puberty. It’s when the ghost’s core is developing at its most volatile stage.”
Danny’s entire face turned bright red. “Frostbite! Seriously?!”
“Ghost... puberty?” Batman echoed, voice laced with what could only be described as grim fascination.
“Indeed!” Frostbite said, now fully in doctor mode. “The Great One is well past that stage, but it’s important to note that ghost puberty can last several decades for some. Phantom’s transformations would have been wildly unpredictable for years, often triggered by emotional stress or large quantities of fast food.”
Flash actually lost it at that, letting out a snort and quickly covering his mouth. “Sorry, sorry! Just—did you say fast food?”
Danny rubbed his temples. “Yes. I went through my ‘ghost puberty’ eating burgers and stressing about math tests. Can we move on?”
Frostbite chuckled warmly. “Ah, yes. The human world does have its unique challenges for the Great One. Now, the next matter—”
“There’s more?” Danny wailed, half considering flying straight through the floor and never coming back.
“Oh, yes!” Frostbite said with far too much enthusiasm. He turned to the League. “His dual nature also means his ghost half sometimes conflicts with his human immune system. It’s a fascinating process! For example, Danny can phase through objects, but if he catches a human cold, it throws his phasing abilities off and he might accidentally phase into a wall and get stuck.”
The room went silent.
Batman stared at Danny. “You’ve... phased into a wall?”
Danny gritted his teeth, wishing for the sweet release of invisibility. “I was twelve, okay? And yes, I got stuck. It was fine.”
“Mostly fine,” Frostbite corrected, waving around a spectral thermometer. “There was that one time we had to extract you from a particularly thick brick wall in Amity Park. Took several hours.”
Wonder Woman, who had remained silent up until this point, exchanged a concerned glance with Superman. “Is this something we should... prepare for?”
Danny shot them both an exasperated look. “No. I’m not going to phase into the Watchtower’s walls. Probably.”
“Unless his ectoplasmic levels are low,” Frostbite added cheerfully. “Which is why this check-up is vital!”
As Frostbite pulled out what looked suspiciously like a ghost-themed blood pressure cuff, Danny gave up. “I’m going to die—again.”
Flash wiped away a tear of laughter, his shoulders still shaking. “This is the best day of my life. I didn’t know ghost puberty was a thing.”
“I’ll send you my research papers,” Frostbite said kindly. “There’s a great deal of fascinating biology involved!”
Danny, ignoring everyone, shot a glare at Batman, who was watching all this with far too much interest. “Don’t even think about adding this to my file.”
Batman didn’t respond, though his fingers twitched ever so slightly toward his utility belt.
Frostbite, oblivious to the ongoing awkwardness, finished prepping his tools. “Now, Great One, if you could just sit still. This next part involves extracting ectoplasmic residue from your pores—”
“I’m phasing through the floor,” Danny muttered, promptly sinking halfway through the Watchtower’s pristine floor, only his head remaining visible. “See you guys never.”
The Justice League stood in stunned silence as Frostbite packed away his tools with a serene smile.
“Very well,” Frostbite said. “I’ll schedule the next check-up for next month. Goodbye, Justice League!”
And with that, the massive Yeti doctor vanished through a portal, leaving the League standing there, trying to make sense of what they had just witnessed.
Superman finally turned to Danny, whose head was still poking out of the floor.
“Danny... you okay?”
Danny didn’t respond, choosing instead to fully disappear beneath the floor.
Flash wheezed. “I love that kid.”

may 2024 twst manga updates~
***This includes spoilers for the Episode of Savanaclaw, Episode of Octavinelle, and the 4koma!***
AAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH LILIA SILVER AND SEBEK LOOK SO GOOD HERE 🤡 I love how Silver and Sebek are constantly shown flanking Lilia, it really enhances the bodyguard/knight vibes! Every time Lilia appears, he always looks like he's having so much fun. Lil' guy is living it up in every panel! Especially when he appears upside down to spook Ruggie.
efbiuSIUBDBYypvfW9wpWD THIS SHOT IS SO GOOD??????? ?I'M LIVING FOR CATER MAKING SILVER AND SEBEK LOOK LIGHTLY UNCOMFORTABLE AS HE HANGS ON THEM.............. .... . . . . ....... .. .... .. . . . . .. ..
Ruggie's despair is delicious 🤤 He's thinking about all the events that led up to this point and about how that will now all go to waste. Now that I think about it and I have the visual right in front of me... That's the same thing Leona felt every time he got knocked down for his efforts. The parallels, man...
Well, fellas... Looks like it's probably Overblot Leona time next chapter. A detail I love here is that, from Leona's perspective, all the faces of his dorm members are sorta blotted out... which is interesting seeing as how it was stated that Mrs. Rosehearts' face was intentionally blotted since she is considered the source of Riddle's trauma + the light novel tells us that Leona fears seeing hope and desperation for a better future in others because it might motivate him to try again, thus prompting another failure or rejection... 😭
Palace servants: Young master Leona's magical power is so strong, it's scary!! Leona: Damn, they don't understand me! They judge me before they even get to know me. If I were the older brother, they wouldn't be saying this stuff. Also Leona: [see image above]
MALEWIFE MODE RUGGIE????? 😭 What a contrast to the Ruggie in the Episode of Savanaclaw who is really going through it…
Love the detail of Yuuta and Grim helping out with chores in the background! It shows that they’re trying to pull their weight while they stay over.
Babe, wake up... New Yuuta and Leona reaction images just dropped from the Episode of Octainvelle... (I am Yuuta whenever new TWST content drops and my non-Twstie friends are Leona whenever they're listening to me blab nonstop about the updates--)
Yuuta once again proves to be my favorite of the current Yuu iterations 🫶 He’s just so sweet and hopeful!
We actually get to see the class photo!! Although the resolution here is very grainy. I'm really hoping that we get to see a close-up after Azul's OB!! I'm dying to see what he looked like as a kid!
fbhlavfuoeqy8vevif;fa fai THIS CHAPTER REALLY MADE ME LIKE ACE?????? ??? ? ?? ? It's probably because he gives the same flawless liar (even though the acting is sooo overexaggerated) energy as Jade in book 4. There's a really fun scene where he's distracting the Atlantica Museum guards and really hamming it up. He looks so cute while he's being (fake) upset yet so enthusiastic!!
This was my favorite part!! Ace excitedly talks about how he's always been interested in merfolk since he was little (lie) and how he saved up all his money to come to this museum (also a lie)... THEN BRO HAS THE AUDACITY TO POSE LIKE THIS AND TALK ABOUT WANTING TO BE A PART OF THAT WORLD????? ?? ???? ? ?? ? ?? ARIEL WHO>?????? ?? ??? ?? ? ?I o NLY KNOW TRAPPOLA NOW
One of the 4koma this month is about Octavinelle going on a camping trip! Azul wants to study the stars for money-making ideas/inspiration.
When talking about auroras, they're reminded of the Diasomnia students and think about making an aurora-colored drink to sell to them. The Octatrio also star-gaze and talk about aliens + selling octopus to them. They discuss the idea of filling a space suit with water and fish to they can walk in space too.
The other 4koma is about Trey brushing the mouths of his mandrake (as they have no teeth but dirt). He insists that everyone should have a clean oral cavity.
You can even tell which mandrake is Trey’s because it has a bunch of toothbrushes stuck in its pot 🪥
Jamil was planning on using his own mandrake to make an ancient remedy for relieving toothache. Trey is uh… interested… and attempts to test out the healing toothpaste for himself (Jamil of course stops him).
Trey… you’re the most NORMAL one, why are you like this OTL

Hello, could you create a headcanon for ROTTMNT about what it would be like to date Leo, Raph, Mikey, and Donnie (separately) and what the pros and cons of those relationships would be?
AN: Ooh~ Yes, I like this! It's not completely sunshine and rainbows, after all :0
Pros/Cons of Your Relationship
Rise Turtles x Reader
Raphael
Pros:
Considering the sheer size of this magnificent creature, the hugs and cuddles you get are beyond comparison. There's nothing quite like starting/ending your day by being wrapped up in those glorious green muscles.
Is deliberately gentle due to his immense strength and has a great amount of self-restraint in his physicality when interacting with you, even when he gets wildly excited. Such as any time you visit him in the lair and he barrels towards you. It seems like it'll be a harsh impact and then he stops at the last second to avoid knocking you over. Adorable.
Never have to worry about being in danger with him around. This big lug will make sure you're in safe hands no matter the location, no matter the time of day.
Raph is unabashedly tender and kind. He'll be hesitant to say anything hurtful towards you and as such is careful with his words, especially when it comes to criticisms.
Cons:
May get slightly overbearing with how protective he is. He isn't being inherently controlling and his heart is in the right place but you wish he wouldn't worry so much, as sweet as it is.
Need to be careful leaving him alone for too long given his risk for going into savage mode. Can come across as rather clingy because of this.
Much like certain disagreements he has with his brothers, he sometimes has a hard time admitting when he's wrong. However, it's never usually about anything too serious but it can cause it's strains.
Leonardo
Pros:
Always knows how to make you laugh and tries his best to do such when you're feeling down. Some of his jokes are admittedly pretty terrible but you can't deny the fact that even the bad ones coax a smile out of you.
Enjoys spontaneity. Even if you're the type of person that struggles with getting out there or knowing what to do for the day, Leo always has something under his sleeve. Just call him the master of fun.
Whilst he's a jovial character, that doesn't mean he can't have his more serious moments, nor is he always completely blind-sighted to things if they seem too good to be true. Sure, he gets you two into shenanigans but he'll have your back if things seem awry.
Has also been shown to try to reconcile his mistakes and be sympathetic towards your plights, especially if he ends up being the cause of them. It may take him a moment or two to figure it out but he always finds a way to make right by you for his mistakes.
Cons:
Has an almost incessant need for attention and can come across as quite conceited. You find that he prioritises his own entertainment, so planning dates can often feel one-sided and uneven in mutual enjoyment.
Doesn't always know how to take things seriously, which can lead to your fair share of arguments.
Is known to be a compulsive liar and will engage in frequent fibbing when he worries about getting into trouble with you. With this, Leo can be disingenuous as it is not unusual for his charisma to take the form of false flattery just to get into someone’s good graces. Having become aware of this, it's sometimes difficult to take his compliments towards you as true.
Donatello
Pros:
Treats you like the absolute royalty you are. Being his loved one, he makes a point of giving the treatment he feels that you deserve. Whether that be programming S.H.E.L.D.O.N to give you special attention or hiding the last pizza box for you to share, he always makes you feel like number one.
Is always willing to help you out, no matter the issue. Donnie is a problem solver, at the end of the day, and will work on a solution to aid you. No job is too big or too small.
He is all about gestures of grandiose proportions, loving the dramatics as much as he himself is dramatic. His aptitude for being extravagant means that birthdays, Christmases, and anniversaries are often met with awe-inspiring displays of affection.
While he perceives himself as being emotionless, in reality, he is far from it. It isn't uncommon for him to become irritated, such as when he doesn't feel as though others listen to or appreciate his intelligence. That's why it means the world when he opens up to you about his transgressions.
Cons:
Unintentionally has a habit of being condescending or patronising towards you. You are aware that he is highly intelligent and that you won't always know the answer to something, but he needs to keep in mind that he isn't right about everything.
When he gets absorbed in his work, it's as though the entire world around him ceases to exist. This means that getting his attention can be difficult and often times you are left waiting until he's finished.
Despite his openness with you, your genuine adoration of his abilities isn't always met with gratitude. He longs for such praise but it carries more weight if it comes from respective elders. This unintentionally has you feeling irrelevant or that your opinion doesn't matter.
Michelangelo
Pros:
Makes killer meals for you. There doesn't have to be a special occasion for him to get passionately creative in the kitchen for you. He always goes all out to make sure your pallet is satisfied.
Best believe he encourages you to add some colour to your wardrobe and helps you pick out outfits. He's supportive of your choices and loves any excuse for a good fashion show.
He absolutely hates being dishonest to those he loves most and best believe that includes you. One might view it as a con but the fact that he dislikes lying means you never have to worry about him hiding something from you. It does make surprise birthday parties difficult to hide but you win some, you lose some.
Mikey is an intuitive family man and wants to keep you and everyone on good terms with one another. He acts as a brilliant mediator, keeping things fair and unbiased when assisting in such resolves.
Cons:
Sometimes he's a bit brash with conversations that involve telling you about particular problems. You appreciate the irony of 'Dr. Delicate Touch' but that persona is in dire need of a name change.
Being the youngest of his brothers, he may have certain complexes where doing tasks or upholding responsibilities are concerned. Even if it's obvious that something requires an extra pair of hands, he may refuse your help because of his need to prove himself.
Is easily frightened and often retreats into his shell instead of confronting the threat. This includes any challenges that may come from you, as well. You appreciate his fear of conflicts but he can't always hide away when something important needs to be discussed.
At the end of the day, no one is perfect. Far from it, in fact, but you take each other for what you are. As long as you're both happy and know how to have constructive conversations about glaring issues, there isn't anything to worry about <3

COD HEADCANONS! (1?)
This is translated from Spanish so I'm really sorry if there is a translation error or a word that shouldn't be there!
SIMON RILEY GHOST
His casual outfit is really simple: jeans and a t-shirt or hoodie, his shoes of choice (usually his sneakers or boots) and a leather jacket if it's a more "formal" outing (a date?) or if he feels like dressing up.
Yes yes, balaclava on the base and cloth mask off the base.
Due to his past he has developed a defense mechanism of making jokes to "get over" or lighten his trauma.
After the betrayal of his team and his capture by Robas he basically got used to survive with very little. Therefore: he doesn't eat much, doesn't sleep much and is always in alert mode.
His chuckles are low, deep and feel mocking 99% of the time even though they are not. Instead his real laughter, his guffaws, are LOUD but very very strange to hear.
This man does NOT have a driver's license.
He has constant nightmares and/or night terrors so he tends to sleep very little.
Simon "Ghost" Riley is sleep deprived.
Ghost is the soldier, Simon is the human. So, Ghost is the armor that protects Simon, the tough exterior that protects the sensitive and too fragile interior.
His room is simple, he doesn't have many belongings and the few he has are really valuable for him.
Ok yes, "Ghost collects knives" or "Ghost collects guns" but... Ghost collects lighters.
Bonus if you think he's a smoker.
Bonus X2 if you think he's an EX-Smoker!
Sleeping near Soap, or cuddling him, surprisingly calms him down (considering how much he dislikes and discomforts physical contact).
Soap is like his safe place, then Price follows, but he doesn't get that close to him physically (almost not at all really).
His closeness to Price has been very helpful to him, the man is a great listener and a great advisor and Simon can't thank him enough for always being there when he needs a shoulder to lean on or someone to give him good advice.
Ghost's "Fucking hell..." at the moment of meeting Soap in MW2 is mainly because he didn't expect to meet him again, he didn't expect to see him again after Makarov, let alone have to WORK with him again. It's not that he dislikes him, he just didn't expect the guy to be HIS sergeant instead of Price's.
During "Alone" Ghost tells jokes and talks to help Soap through the bad time, to calm him down and help him move forward but he also does it for himself because damn: just betrayed at the border of a country/city they don't know, with the colonel who received them captured, with a (his) wounded and messed up sergeant who is the only ally he has right now and who in turn is trying to get to him, with mercenaries nipping at their heels... I think the poor guy has a right to be a little bad. Well, Simon is bad because Ghost seems to be hiding it well.
Hairless?
He tends to eat fast, very fast.
JOHN "SOAP" MACTAVISH
He told Price that they should make varsity jackets with the Task Force logo on them...
Guess who has varsity jackets with the Task Force logo on them?
OG!Soap (2009) hates dogs (according to a line of dialogue) but personally I think Reboot!Soap (the current Soap, the one from 2022) likes them quite a bit.
He's a bit (too much) hyperactive.
He tends to gift and buy things for Ghost, little trinkets or things he knows Simon can use. It goes from clothes to some toy he thinks Ghost might like, they are usually toy soldiers, little action figures or legos (or anything that reminds him of Ghost).
Simon keeps them all. Every single one, even if it's a rock or a note that Soap left him or a doodle that Soap gave him.
He's a freaking master with butterfly knife tricks.
No, he doesn't use them to impress Ghost....
Maybe he does...
Ghost pretends the tricks don't impress him but they do.
He gives me Golden Retriever Boyfriend vibes that can send a bomb to your house.
Let's not forget he's a 30 year old man, military, explosives expert who basically operates in an elite task force... I mean, he could easily kill you. But, still, he's got a nice vibe, he's sociable and it's hard to dislike him.
Bookworm! He'll devour a book in a matter of hours and if he likes it enough he'll do an essay or summary.
He's a homebody with a big, big family. And he would love to have his own family with his own little house in the camp.
To pass the time he usually draws and occasionally writes in his journal. That thing is a little bit of everything: drawings, notes, stories, a personal diary, etc. Anything goes in there.
He cuts his mohawk himself and also usually takes care of rookies' hair, or really anyone who asks (nicely).
He can actually do more than cut mohawks or shave heads, his mother knows how to cut hair and he learned how to do it himself.
You want him to braid your hair? Of course, he's the one! He grew up with several sisters, so of course he knows how to braid. Ponytails? Go ahead. A bun? Sure. You ask and he'll know what to do and if he doesn't, he'll find it.
He can cook a little, just enough to get by and not live on instant noodles and take-out.

Writing Notes: Dystopia
How to Research Your Dystopian Novel
Basic Features of a Dystopian Story
Takes place in the future (although it could be an alternate history, too)
Features a huge disparity between the haves and the have nots (or thrusts everyone into abject poverty and survival mode)
Has an oppressive government (but, on the flipside, there could be apocalyptic anarchy and the oppressive element could be the possibly of death at every turn, i.e. The Road by Cormac McCarthy)
Features society’s complete reliance on government (or, in the absence of government, every individual must fend for himself)
Includes an enforced groupthink consciousness (individuals are obligated to think like everyone else and accept propaganda or they are punished)
Limits information and individual freedom
In a dystopian world, the villains are in control.
Evil triumphs over good, at least in the beginning…and the middle.
Perhaps, by the end of the story, there is a spark of hope, but even that may be ambiguous and up for interpretation.
A dystopian novel is definitely not a feel-good fairy tale. It’s one that’s rife with struggle (both internal and external), and often features martyrdom.
All dystopian novels, the good ones anyway, share a sense of crushing hopelessness that, perhaps even the protagonist can’t combat.
For these reasons, a dystopian story is most effective when you focus on the theme, and then use that theme to draw parallels to the reader’s present. Orwell was a master at it.
Give Thought to Your Theme
The theme of a story is its big idea.
In a dystopian novel, the theme is usually one of the following:
Oppression
Repression
Control
Rebellion
Survival
What is the idea that you’re trying to convey in your story?
What sort of statement or observation are you making about society?
EXAMPLES
If your novel tackles the idea of an oppressive government, research oppressive governments of the past and present.
What are some real life ideas that you can incorporate into your dystopian world to emphasize your theme?
To examine how low humanity can sink under the fist of an oppressive government, start studying Nazi Europe and the Khmer Rouge killing fields of Cambodia.
When you look at these shameful times in our human history, pay attention to how these regimes came to power, and how they maintained power.
On the other hand, if your novel tackles rebellion, start studying the Nat Turner slave rebellion of 1831 or the storming of the Bastille of 1789.
Make special note of what caused these rebellions, and also consider the experiences from both sides (the rebel and the rebelled against).
When you settle on a theme, pull examples from real history to create a stronger narrative.
Create Realistic Characters
Your dystopian novel should feature a cast of compelling characters.
The protagonist should be relatable, but never perfect.
The antagonist may be evil, but never one-sided.
When you’re creating and fleshing out your characters, take time to consider how they view their society.
EXAMPLES
Your protagonist was born into the dystopia, and has no other reference point, so he accepts it without question.
Or maybe your protagonist had a life before the events that created your dystopia, and mourns for it.
You’ll need to research your characters.
Understand each character's backstory.
What history do they carry with them into your story?
Sure, you’re researching “fictional” characters, but it’s still a real process, and a necessary one if you want to create a rounded, consistent character.
It may be a good idea to "interview" your characters. A few questions to ask include:
How do you feel about your society and why?
Who do you trust and why?
What rules do you like and why?
What rules do you hate and why?
While it may feel silly, remember that the interview is confidential.
Only you and the character have to know.
This information may or may not make it onto the pages of your novel, but it will help you shape the motivations of your characters.
Remember that these characters aren’t transplants from our time and world-- they live and shape the world of your novel, and won’t always have the same mindset as your reader. The characters should act according to their own logic.
Lay Down the Law
What laws does your dystopian society abide by?
Even in the most anarchic worlds, there are rules--even if these rules forged and followed by just your protagonist alone.
But, if your dystopian novel deals with an oppressive government, they’ll definitely be a ton of rules that society must follow.
What are they? How should you create them?
Consider the following:
Study the laws of both totalitarian governments and police states
Make a list of the laws that keeps the ruling elite in power
Make a list of punishments for not keeping the law
From caste systems to cannibalism, you’ll find an exhaustive list of ways that the ruling class has preserved the power balance in their favor.
How can you implement these rules and their consequences into your novel?
Also, decide on the method of control.
How does the antagonist exert control over the protagonist? (Can be a government or an oppressive element like diminishing resources).
Is it through propaganda?
Is it through police raids?
Is it through poverty?
Finding Ideas for Your Dystopian Novel
Stumped and not sure how to find ideas for your dystopian novel? Turn on the news. We’re basically living in a dystopian landscape anyway.
What stories grab you? What do you care about?
Child slavery, privacy, the environment, lack of resources, immigration?
Exploit that idea by setting your story 50 or 100 years into the future.
What’s the inevitable (or probable) end of this idea?
This can serve as the basis of your story.
Remember to Build the World
World building is particularly crucial in a dystopian novel.
In your dystopian novel, you’re introducing a completely new world that the reader isn’t familiar with.
What does the world look like? Are there mountains and mist? Is the world dull and gray? Is it a dense, green jungle?
What caused the world to look like it does? Was it an earthquake, a war, a robot apocalypse?
What resources are limited? Sunlight? Water? Food?
Don’t just focus on one small part of the world:
The reader should have a sense of what’s happening throughout your dystopian landscape.
For a dystopian novel, world-building must come from your rich imagination.
That’s because this world doesn’t exist yet and definitely doesn’t have a Wikipedia page. But, this doesn’t mean you can’t research your world’s landscape.
Example: If your novel takes place in a desert, you can research deserts to learn more about the people who live in that environment, including what they wear, what they eat, and how they survive the harsh conditions.
Read Other Dystopian Novels
Finally, familiarize yourself with the very books that define the dystopian genre.
By reading and researching these books, you’ll have a better understanding of what your reader is hoping for when they read your dystopian novel.
When you read the following dystopian novels, do so with an analytical eye. Critique it:
What worked? What didn’t work? How would you change it? How was the pacing? What was the theme? What motifs did the author use to convey the theme?

Hi,
any chance you could tell me more about the 2nd years in the atla!au ?
I also just want to say that i just love this au
i have consulted th lore master say thank u @philosophiums <3
2nd years lore coming right up!!
Maki is a nonbender who has decided to study bending arts in order to be able to fight against them. Her ultimate goal is to take out the Zen'in Clan, or at the very least their current leaders.
Yuuta, while only being an airbender - though a very talented one - and not a member of the Gojo Clan, is considered by many to be Gojo's natural successor (what Gojo's role is, exactly, is a spoiler <3).
Inumaki is working diligently to complete all 36 tiers of airbending so that he can become a master and get his arrow tattoos. His mouth tattoos are a visual representation of a vow he has taken, the details of which are spoilers <3
Panda is a very very young spirit who accidentally stumbled out of the Spirit World as a cub and was taken in by a certain spiritual leader at the Northern Air Temple. He has always been a protector spirit™ and is still trying to find a place to call his own and protect (like Hei Bai has his forest).
Also Yuuta and Inumaki have been dating for abouuuuut 5 months when the main trio eventually meets them in the fic!!
Also my own design notes gHGFHJS panda is more or less hei bai meets gorilla mode and i don't have much to say about maki except Call Me but inumaki n yuuta's designs have at least a few things i can talk abt !!
while inumaki is in robes tht have more of a traditional style, i figured tht Yuuta being the more advanced airbender means he knows how to work the more modern flight suits that u see in lok so I have him wearing a variation of one of those underneath his robes
I also tried to make inumaki's clothes Baggier n Longer to *kind of* lean monk while still being fairly well-suited to combat ! echoing his technique in jjk I don't think he's much of a close-range fighter + air isnt a particularly close-range element so he probably doesn't need his clothes to be terribly form-fitting out of concern of a physical Brawl
when he's not using it, Yuuta keeps his glider in a wrap similar to his sword in the show. is there a reason.... :)
#gender-cloud#jjk atla!au#atla!au: lore#lmhs#also . disregarding atla canon so yuuta can keep his hair SUE ME IM NOT SHAVING THEIR HEADS#also also whenever inumaki does get his arrows he'll probably wear his hair like in jjk0 HGGFHDS

Hey! I need some advice on how to organize my notes and story better. I know that we're at a point in time where we have computers, apps and everything else, just to help organize everything, but my brain goes into static silence mode while I'm trying to type something up on my computer for some reason. I always do better with pen and paper.
So what's the best way to organize your notes? What processes are recommended? How do we keep notes from looking like chaos on paper? Is a folder recommended too? Or a notebook? Thank you in advanced.
Organizing Paper Notes
I'm a big fan of the good old-fashioned three-ring binder with tabbed dividers. You can create whatever sections you want, but generally you'll probably do something like plot, characters, world, back story, and inspiration.
You can grab yourself a ream of lined notebook paper to put your notes on, or you can use dot grid, graph paper, or punch some colored paper. You could even color code if you wanted to.
You might also consider adding some binder pockets to each section that you can use to store any loose notes you might end up with. And, if you do happen to type and print anything or print out an inspiration photo or map or something, you can just punch it and stick it in its proper place in the binder.
As far as organizing the notes on paper, this is where color coding comes in especially handy. You might consider assigning a highlighter or marker color to each section, then when you get a bunch of random notes on a page (that belong in different sections), you can highlight them accordingly then write them all on new sheets of paper according to their proper section. That way everything gets filed away right where it should be.
I hope that helps!

In front of the dungeon masters throne.
December 14th- infront of the dungeon masters throne

Eddie had been scribbling on this little piece of paper for days.
Usually he wanted to tell you all about his campaigns as he created them, but this time the book slammed close as soon as you entered the room.
“Why so secretive?” You asked, as he folded the paper up and sat on it.
“You’ll see sweetheart, soon enough” he murmured in response.
Is this a christmas gift?” you asked, now more interested than ever. “one I might get in advance?”
“ You'll see, soon enough” he just said again.
When your shift ended you put your jacket on and put your hands in the pocket,trying to find your mittens, you found a note.
You knew Eddie had something planned, but not knowing what that something was, made it tingle inside of you with excitement.
Your mind bubbled with excitement as you made your way through town toward the high school and Eddie.
Why the drama room?
What game?
What did he have in mind?
You were a bit early so you snuck in as quietly as you could, hearing your boyfriend in full on dungeon-master-mode telling the group how they indeed had succeeded and slayed the monster.
“You present the head of the beast to the king, forcing him to hold his end of the bargain letting the villagers go, giving them their freedom as the most welcome yuletide gift, all thanks to you” Eddie tells as the party cheers, applauds and high fives.
The room was chatty and buzzing with excitement, and in the middle of it all there was Eddie, on his throne, looking so incredibly proud of this party.
He was gorgeous, in a totally effortless way, his hair was tousled up from moving around, telling the plot with his entire body. The smile was huge, he was always like this after hellfire, it was like the endorphins it gave him all immediately went to his face, making him look so unbelievably happy. His tattooed arms were holding up his body as he leaned over the table, giving fist bumps and high fives to his friends. But in this light they looked different, the way his hand gripped the side of the table made you feel something. That excited tingle that you had felt before came back, as you imagined Eddie's hands, doing other things, elsewhere.
Eddie's smile grew impossibly wider when he saw you enter the room.
“Hello Honey!” he called out, which made you shy, because suddenly a whole bunch of heads turned to face you. You liked Eddie's friends, heck you considered most of them your friends as well but, just in this environment, you felt like the intruder, no matter how welcome they all tried to make you feel.
“Cmere, sweetheart” Eddie said and sat down on his throne properly once again. You made your way over, greeting all the boys like you usually would.
Eddie pulled you onto his lap pretty much as soon as you were within reach.
“Hiya baby” he muttered into your ear as he rested his face on your shoulder.
“I’ve missed you” you said, relaxing into him, grabbing the hand that he had round your middle, fiddling a little with his rings.
“Feeling okay?” he asked, tilting your head towards his. The brown eyes looked at you with so much concern, lust and love that it was almost impossible to meet them and not burst into tears with how incredibly seen you felt.
“Yeah, I am, “ you said, “Just a bit tired from thinking so much, and also I’m a bit um… needy... for you.”
The last part was whispered. You watched as a glimmer of pride showed itself in the soft eyes of Eddie Munson, as he shifted you slightly closer to himself.
“Good girl for expressing how you feel baby” Eddie praised, knowing it was something that you sometimes had a hard time with. “I´ve got plans for us, don´t you worry”
His praise always created this warmth in the pit of your stomach, it was like it blanketed you in this safeness that made you want more of Eddie. You moved your head closer to his, connecting your lips. He was not late to lean into the kiss, the arms that held you in place pulled you closer towards him and his tongue met yours.
That’s when you hear the oh so familiar,
“Cmon guys,” from Mike Wheeler, who watched you, looking slightly disgusted.
“Want something Wheeler?” Eddie said with a grin on his face.
“You wanna get a room or wait til you're home or something?” He asked, hands now on his hips.
“No can do, right here right now works perfectly fine,” Eddie responded, the gleam of mischief in his eyes shining bright. “ or what do you say sweetheart?”
You put your finger to your chin,”thinking” about it.
“It does indeed” you said and started trailing kisses down Eddie’s neck.
“Oh for fucks sake” Mike said with an eye roll.
“I’m not sure why you bother anymore” Dustin said to him, already so used to you and Eddie and the constant PDA.
“Cmon Mike, we better get going, wasn’t Nancy supposed to be here by now?” Will said, him and Lucas already packed up and ready to go.
The younger ones left after Will’s reminder, knowing that Nancy never waited for them for long.
“Hey Eddie?” Gareth said as you decorated Eddie's neck with hickies.
“Yeah?” He replied, not really taking his eyes off you.
“You’re coming to Steve’s party right?” Gareth asked.
“Yeah, aren’t you?”
Gareth scratched the back of his head.
“”Yeah, but we don’t really have a ride.”
“We’ll take you” you said “ I’m driving anyways.”
You knew that Gareth and Jeff was still a little uneasy about the whole Steve-Harrington-actually-being-a-good-person deal, so you and Eddie did your best to make them feel as comfortable as they possibly could.
“Thanks, we appreciate it,” Jeff said as he grabbed his bag.
Gareth was about to say something else, of less importance when Eddie interrupted him with a,
“Gareth, it’s time to go”
The blond boy, looking like he just was smacked up the head for not understanding, was suddenly in a rush.
“We’re going.”
The gang of older students were on their way out when he stuck his head in once again, sing-songing a “haaave fuuun'' before Eddie gave him the finger and he shut the door.
You turned towards Eddie, now slightly panicky.
“Does he know?”
You weren’t sure if you meant what Eddie had planned or about the fact that you were needy for him.
Eddie calmed all your worries instantly.
He propped you up on the table in front of him, right where the DM-screen had been just minutes ago. He stood between your thighs. He had one arm around your waist and one hand tilted your face up to meet this eyes.
“He knows nothing, he might suspect a whole lot but he knows nothing.” Eddie reassured.
“Now baby, do you remember that I told you that there might be a gift in store for you before Christmas?” You nodded. “I’m gonna give it to you, right here, right now.”
As he told you the news, he ran a hand up your inner thigh, coming closer and closer to your core.
“Here?” you asked wide eyed, “Right now?”
“Yes, now I want it to be a surprise, so I´m not gonna explain too much, but this is a no pressure situation, you call safeword and I stop, like usual. You´re here with me and you´re totally safe okay?”
The idea of the sexy secret already had you dripping down your thighs with excitement but you couldn’t really shake the thought of the hellfire club members who were there just mere minutes ago.
“Can we lock the d00r?” You asked looking up at Eddie.
“Of course, If that makes you feel better then we can absolutely do that.” Eddie said. “you wanna do it? I've got something to unpack.”
When you returned to the table Eddie was sitting on his throne again. He stood you infront of him and reached up the dress you had on, hooking his fingers into your panties, pulling them down, leaving you in the dress and the thigh high stockings you had on.
“Won´t be needing these now will we?” he said to you and smirked.
He grabbed you by the waist and helped you onto the table once again, the top of it now feeling a lot colder against your bare ass.
“Now baby, do you remember what my note to you said?” Eddie asked.
You tried your hardest to remember what it had said.
“Something about Hellfire ending and our game beginning?” you said hoping that you remembered correctly.
“Exactly, that's right.” Eddie said, placing a hand on your knee. “Now If this is a game, then who am I, sitting here?”
You knew what he was after, and you would lie if you said that it didn’t make you tingle.
“You’re the master” You said, looking at Eddie, feeling lust fill you up completely.
“That I am, ” Eddie said, smirking at you. “Now can I expect you to behave?”
“Yes master” you said obediently, looking at him, feeling even needier for him than before.
“Thats my good girl.” Eddie praised.
He plucked something from his front pocket, something that you soon recognised as a D20.
“This little thing will decide your fate tonight my lady.” Eddie explained holding it up in front of you. “Now listen carefully, cause I'll only explain it once, this has 20 sides right?”
You resisted the urge to roll your eyes at him, of course you knew that it had 20 sides.
“yes master” you said, urging him to explain further.
“now if you roll this and it lands somewhere between one and four, I´ll finger you.” Eddie explained. Your eyes widened at his words, this game just got interesting.
“If it's between four and eight, I´ll eat you out.” he continued, twirling the dice around in his hands. “Now between eight and twelve it gets interesting, cause then this little thing is brought into play” Edddie said and held up a thinner dildo from your collection.
You felt yourself getting more hot and bothered just at the sight of it, wanting him to use it right now. But at the same time you were filled with anticipation for what was to come next.
“What about 12 to 16?” you asked, and Eddie just smirked as a response.
“Glad you asked baby,” he said, digging around in the bag that he had brought. “ 12 to 16 means this ole´ favourite”
Eddie held up your trusted magic wand vibrator and he chuckled at the gleam that appeared in your eye as you saw it.
“I know you like that one, but this one, which is 16 to 19 if you didn't figure that out yourself, is a new one.” Eddie handed you a wrapped up present.
Inside was a rabbit vibrator.
The sight of it made your stomach drop like when you're on a rollercoaster, all the potential it had was almost overwhelming. You were almost too excited.
“Oh my god Eddie, this, this looks amazing” you said, but then you realised what he had said.
“16 to 19, what about 20?”
“We’ll that my dear is the fun of it, the 20th is the orgasm. If you do not roll a 20 then I’m sorry but you won’t cum tonight.”
Your jaw dropped at his words.
“So you’re really telling me that I might not cum tonight?” You said.
“That’s the game, but hey,” he said, giving the dice a quick kiss before placing it in the palm of your hand. “I have a feeling you’re gonna be lucky tonight, now lay back sweetheart, and roll for me”
The first roll was a 7.
Eddie wasted no time, diving right in. His tongue flicking over your clit repeatedly as his hands held your thighs apart. His grip on your thigh made you wonder if the marks from the rings he wore would be there for days, but the magic he worked with his mouth made it all forgivable.
“fuck baby, you always taste so gooddamn good” he moaned. You resisted the urge to shove his head right back to where it previously had been. You felt the pleasure build inside of you, in the way your toes curled and your hips buckled up against him. Eddie continued to tease you with his tongue until suddenly, he stopped.
The moan that you were about the let out was caught in in your throat, and for the first time since laying back you raised your head and looked at the man inbetween your thighs.
“time for another roll? or what do you think baby?” he asked.
“God yes” you said, desperate for the pleasure that you felt to continue.
Eddies hand came down hard on your inner thigh, making you jump slightly for the surprise.
“Yes who?” he asked, now rubbing forgivingly on the small mark that he left.
“Yes master” you responded.
The next roll was a 14, and you swore that you could have orgasmed from the sound of the vibrator alone.
Eddie flicked it on to a rather low setting, but still you felt the pulsating response it the sound between your thighs.
“Now do you want this, sweetheart?” you asked as Eddie ran vibrator up and down your inner thighs.
“Yes master,” you said, almost panting already.
“Then I would beg a little more for it” he said, gracing it past your clit for half a second before continuing down your thigh again.
“Please, please please Master” you begged, trying to wiggling a little closer to him.
“Please what?” he asked, his eyes glimmering as he watched you grow desperate under his care, he did love to tease. “What do you want baby?”
“The vibrator” you breathed out, almost instantly.
“Yeah baby, I figured, but where sweet thing?” he said, now removing it from your body completely.
You felt a bit embarrassed, having to say it, because obviously he knew goddamn well you wanted it.
“Uhm, I want it.. on my clit master” you breathed out, “please”
“arent you the best girl, doing what your asked” Eddie praised as he pressed the vibrator to your clit.
The vibrations went through you like chockwaves. Everything tensed up and came to life in a different way when you had the vibrator against you.
Eddie watched your every reaction with gleaming eyes, he absolutely adored to watch you come undone before him, all whilst knowing that you felt safe enough with him it let him hold the reins and be in control.
Just as you felt your core tighten from the vibrations, Eddie switched them off, leaving you, panting, whining.
“awh, sorry sweetheart, were you in the middle of something?” Eddie said with a grin plastered across his face.
“urgh yes I was.” you muttered, as you still felt the plusations running through your core, making you clench and move around a little.
“Well well would you look at that,” Eddie said, “my poor babys so worked up that shes clenching round nothing now, roll the dice sweetheart and see if we can do something about that”
The roll was a good one, landing on an 18.
You almost cried tears of joy as Eddie worked the vibrator into you with ease.
“There we go,” He said, looking at how it slid into you with no hiccups what so ever. “Always so good for me, always taking whatever I give you so goddamn well.”
You actually started to leak tears as the rabbit filled your hole whilst at a steady pace graced your clit with its glorious vibrations.
“are you getting close?” Eddie asked as he noticed the tell tale signs, the muscles in your thighs clenching, the moans and whimpers coming from your mouths, the way you clenched around the rabbit, your body automatically trying to draw it in.
“uh, yes master” you moaned.
“Well do you wanna risk trying to roll for orgasm?” Eddie asked, and you didnt think long about it.
“Yes, please”
“Well mannered” Eddie murmured as he put the dice in your outstretched hand.
it landed on a 4. A goddamn 4.
“I´m sorry sweetheart, but my fingers will have to do.” Eddie said, removing the rabbit that had previously been filling you up.
“Ugh, no please” You pleaded.
Eddie cleared his throat and stuck two fingers into you, applying pressure to your g-spot instantly.
“Excuse me, but what was that? Are my hands suddenly not good enough for you, princess?” he asked.
Your breath hitched in your throat, you hadn’t meant to say it.
“No, not at all.” you quickly said. “I’ll take whatever master gives me”
“That´s what I though” Eddie said, and continued to work his hands on you, one hand sliding effortlessly in and out of you, the other rubbing your clit quite vigrously.
“I want you to fuck me master,” you moaned after a while.
Eddie thought about it for a moment, cause this wasnt in his original plans.
“What if we do this, you roll one time, if its above 12, then I´ll fuck you, but you still need a 20 to cum okay?” He suggested.
You desperate after being edged for ages nodded and grabbed after the dice.
You closed your eyes rolling it, only opening them when you heard Eddie say, “You are one lucky fucker, aren’t you?”
You opened your eyes to a nat 20. it felt slightly unbelievable so you turned to look at Eddie, who already was wiggling out of his pants.
“Come here baby, lets get you there, we both know you deserve it”
You straddled him on the throne, sinking onto him with a satisfied sigh.
“There we go” Eddie said, you moved slightly whilst still clinging onto him, kissing up his neck. “You always were a slut for close contact, werent you princess?”
You moaned in response, unable to do much more, cause of how close you were.
“Now take what you need baby, chase that orgasm and I’ll take care of you, I’ve got you sweetheart”
You came not long after that, feeling the euphoria wash over you like a tide wave.
“Master,” you moaned, head on his shoulder, feeling slightly fuzzy and complete.
“Baby, look at me please” he asked, voice soft and caring.
You did as asked looking up at him with halfopened eyes.
“Tired?” He asked, you nodded.
“I understand that sweetheart, you were such a good girl, you took everything so well” Eddie praise, whilst pressing kisses to your forehead.
“Now how do you feel, are you sore?” He asked after holding you close to his chest for a moment. “I know I gripped and popped your thighs pretty hard there before, does anything hurt sweetheart?”
“I´m a bit sore, but it’ll be okay soon enough,” you said, thinking about your slight aching cunt which was still streched around Eddies softening cock. “My thighs hurt a bit, but not to bad.
You pouted a bit and Eddie was quick to kiss it.
“I´m sorry baby, how about we clean you up temporarily, then we´ll stop at a burgershack on the way home, and then we can watch a christmasfilm whilst we eat it, and a bath maybe? If you want one?” Eddie suggested.
“That sounds very nice.” you said, nuzzling your face into the crook of Eddies neck.
“Do you want to clean up now, or do you want to cuddle some more?” Eddie asked, his arms wrapped around you, drawing shapes on your back.
“Cuddle just for two minutes more? you asked.
Eddie nodded and kissed the top of your head.
“of course sweetheart”

I want to talk about Vlad Masters characterization in the game "Nickelodeon All Star Brawl 2" story mode.
So, Vlad is the main antagonist of this game, or at least that's what the game makes you want to think at the start until the weird time loops start happening and Plasmius keeps repeating things like "Mind controlling everyone is the way to save everyone" and "Don't you understand?!", which comes off as weird to the hero character.
The last time you beat him, Clockwork transports him into the same void "safe space" other characters are in. You can go and ask Vlad what he was talking about and he will answer how there is a bigger enemy at moment: Clockwork.
It is later revealed that Clockwork got infected by Vlad's mind control device, which in reality doesn't work as it should and makes people acts volatile and agressive instead. The "evil" Clockwork has been sending the hero protagonist to stop Plasmius from fixing his mind control machine and make the universe destroy on purpose again and again. Vlas has been trapped in these time loops like that player has been and he remembers what happened each time, forced to see the same event repeat all over again
Meaning that all this time the hero protagonist has been the "bad guy" while Vlad was trying to fix the mind control machine to prevent the universe from getting destroyed. Vlad even mentions this near the end of the game, calling himself "the hero of the story"
Of course, that's incorrect because Vlad was trying to freaking brainwash everyone. But it is interesting is how he is potrayed as sympathetic to some extent as he was trying to do the "right thing". He talks to the hero protagonist about how Clockwork isn't himself and he shouldn't be trusted.
This characterization reminds quite a lot from the one that he has in "A Glitch in Time" graphic novel. In the novel he helps Danny with searching for the source of ghost power and defeating Dan. He realizes the wrong of his selfish past actions and starts a path to redemption near the end of the story.
Considering that Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 involves time travel and time loops like A Glitch in Time, it wouldn't be out of place to say that Vlad's characterization in the game is intentional, probably being written with the goal to be close to his character version in A Glitch In Time.
While Vlad doesn't exactly regret his actions at the end of the game, the idea of him not being as evil as he looks/ having standars is still there. There has been certain change of how his character gets potrayed lately. To someone more sympathetic, less emphasis on "evil" and more "he doesn't understand what he is himself getting into" vibes.
It also suprised me how he was chosen to be one of the main antagonists for this game and one of the characters that has the most lines in the story mode. It makes you wonder why they didn't make a Danny Phantom game instead since all the plot revolves around Danny Phantom characters.
On smaller observation, despite Vlad's motivations being "taking control over the universe" there are some lines of dialogue that hint as his own loneliness such as saying the game player that "they would make a good sidekick" and regreting "not having an audience" to see how he activates the mind control machine. In part it is understandable this doesn't get expanded upon since there are likely people who play the game that don't know about Danny Phantom.
I don't know who was behind writing the dialogue from this game but one thing i can say is that they seem to get Vlad's character in a good part, specially how he doesn't seem himself as a villain in certain moments.
All this emphasis in Vlad from AGIT graphic novel and the Nick fighting game makes wonder if he is going to have some important role in possible future stories from the series. It seems to me that it is trying to build up to something to be more than just pure coincidence. If he does gain more protagonism on long run, i hope they continue with this potrayal of his character because i find it pretty interesting.
#danny phantom#vlad plasmius#vlad masters#dp a glitch in time#his dialogue in the game was cool#Like not exactly evil but not good neither#As doing a bad thing to avoid a bigger bad thing from happening

What did you think of Armand’s confrontation with Claudia? I’m not really sold on the idea that Armand displays startling cruelty in that moment — he’s definitely not nice, and it’s obviously a callback to how both Lestat and Louis have physically assaulted Claudia, and how she’s permanently trapped in this cycle of being at the mercy of powerful men who abuse or mistreat her. Like, he’s the coven master, Santiago has previously stated that Armand turns vampires into corpses for almost nothing, but ultimately, he’s the coven master, with the power of life and death over his flock, so his word is law. So when I think about Armand’s actions within “coven logic” it doesn’t really seem like individualized cruelty, more like justifiable annoyance (within coven logic) at the disobedience and insolence of a new, ungrateful coven member. Outside of coven logic, it’s abusive and cruel, but within the warped logic of the coven, it seems pretty ordinary to me. I guess I’m asking because I’ve seen lots of people post about the contrast between Armand’s vulnerability with Louis followed by his immediate cruelty to the coven, but I think it makes perfect sense. When Armand’s with Louis he’s being an individual, when he’s with the coven he’s being the coven master. Like, within Claudia’s story it’s definitely a continuance of the shitty, abusive cycle she’s stuck in, but within Armand’s role as the coven master it just seems like a regular Tuesday. Does that make sense?
yeah i'm not convinced he's singling her out specifically but i'm reserving judgment on that until the end of the season, since there's definitely stuff we're not privy to yet.
i think armand probably thinks he's been letting her (and everyone) get away with too much bc of louis and is now 'correcting' that. he was criticized by the coven throughout the episode for not being present enough and everyone doing shit they're not supposed to. so now he's going back to ruthless coven master mode to try to prevent the mutiny that's brewing.
i think it's also in response to the vulnerability he displayed to louis immediately prior; that shit was scary, and afterwards he probably wanted to feel powerful and in control again. he was also interrupted by the coven in that moment, them getting in the way of his time with louis, so he was pissed off at them all in general and the 'issue' that was reported was claudia so he lashed out at her.
i also don't think the play was written to torment her; i think the coven was just excited to have a 'child actress' and didn't consider how she might feel about it at all. they don't know what it's like for her and didn't think to wonder. the casual cruelty of thoughtlessness. we don't know the extent of armand's involvement with picking that role for her so it's difficult to say if he did it on purpose in any way. but his whole thing is doing whatever is 'required' of him regardless of how painful or humiliating, and that's what he expects from everyone else too. a horrible way to live and a horrible thing to subject others to, but that's armand for you.
insane how he actually acknowledged the cycle of abuse in this episode ("magnus who begat lestat, lestat begat louis, and on and on and on") and then immediately proceeded to go make sure it keeps on cycling. man got SO CLOSE to a major revelation but then it got interrupted i guess.
in TVL, lestat talks about the contrast between the 'lost child' and the 'coven master' in armand and they are two sides of him but they're also intrinsically linked. the vulnerability and the cruelty follow from each other. coven logic IS armand logic. it's all he knows. he's the victim and the perpetrator. he knows both sides intimately, and he believes this is just how it is, how it has to be, so suck it up. "life is cruel, life is violent." for him, it always has been. he skirts the rules sometimes because he can but he clearly also believes they should apply to him too. he almost killed louis for it. he keeps curfew. "know your role, thesp, or join your maker in oblivion", he says to santiago, but isn't he talking to himself too? he was ordered to lead the paris coven nearly 400 years ago and he hasn't been fulfilling his duties lately. he tells louis to think about leaving paris but leaving the coven himself is almost unthinkable to him. almost.
um, i got sidetracked, but basically yeah i think armand's assault of claudia, as cruel and horrifying and abusive and traumatizing it is for her, is him going back to regular tuesday as coven master. it's an emotionally motivated action but not, in my opinion, designed to single her out specifically as a rival for louis's affections or whatever. at least based on the information we have now, but there may be revelations to come in the latter half of the season that change my mind. or i might change my mind because i rewatch the episode for the fifth time or read really good post arguing the opposite lol.
anyway. SAVE CLAUDIA HOLY SHIT

Steel Silva headcanons pls 🥺
Headcanons: Steel Silva
-The concept behind robotic and artificial rangers was sprouted due to Venjix and that said concept was implanted into the Grid to be a constant throughout the many dimensions. This is the reason why we have so many robot rangers, Mack, Robo Knight and Steel.
-Despite his robotics, Steel loves to accessorize and even makes insect based clothing and add-ons to his body whenever feeling stylish. Examples being a winged cloak reminiscent of feathers and stag beetle wings.
-His human form is only just an artificial transformation so he can switch back to his robotic one…and let’s keep it that way(Master Green count your days).
-He loves to read fanfiction and has an ao3 page dedicated to other ranger teams. It’s nothing crazy or spicy but he does like to write fight scenes and long AUs. Currently of one with all the robot rangers/allies going on an adventure in a fantasy world.
-Steel has a kill mode like Baymax in BH6 but never uses it….only brought it out once but it was to hunt down someone being rude to Nate.
-All mechanical zords are friends with Steel and he likes to watch movies with them, they deem the Godzilla movies as top tier but Mechagodzilla is offensive to them, Steel is actively trying to make an army of big zords both as a huge but also for adorable friends and company…deep down he’s had thoughts about how being a robot will affect the team and considering he might outlive them he wants to make more company so that way he’s never alone. In all honesty Steel hates being lonely and if he sees someone going through the same thing he’ll try to talk to them or give them a little bug zord pet to have some company
-He watches Ravi sleep…we don’t talk about it.

Thank you guys so much for your support! Here we go! -Jen
The Lion Sleeps Tonight
It was just a cold. A simple runny nose accompanied by the occasional cough and low grade fever. Something you had personal experience with in your (age) years of life. It was nothing. A mere inconvenience. But now, sickness played a different role since you became a parent--or, rather when your child fell ill. The feeling of helplessness brought on by not being able to take it away at once and give them comfort. It was just a cold, but it was your baby’s. That was one of the many awful feelings you felt.
You watched with exhaustion as Adam paced around the room, lightly bouncing Aydith in his arms. She had been crying for what felt like an eternity now. It didn’t help that the damn cold hit right around when she had begun to really teeth. You were at a loss of what to do. Mantis had offered to put her asleep, but you didn’t want her to use any powers on your daughter. Not when she was so little. Not when you didn’t know how it could impact her. If you hadn’t brought her to Earth to visit your grandfather last weekend, this wouldn’t have happened. How were you supposed to know the bug was going around?
“This is all my fault.” You exhaled, shaking your head. Gods, you just wanted to cry with her. “I exposed our baby and now she’s infected. I’m a horrible mother.”
Adam made his way over to you, Aydith’s cries only amplifying. At this point, you were quite sure that all of Knowhere had been awakened by them. How such a little thing could be so loud was a question you didn’t have an answer to. Just like how you didn’t have an answer as to how to ease your daughter’s distress.
“This is no fault of yours, Y/N. And it is impossible for you to even be remotely considered a below average parent. Please don’t ever think like that.” He tried to assure you, his tone sympathetic. “I’ve done a great deal of reading and it is quite common for human infants to contract it. Our child is half Sovereign, I am more than certain that being so lessens the chances of this developing into anything serious.”
He had done research. A lot of it. As soon as Aydith let out her first cough, Adam had gone into protective parent mode and scoured through the entirety of what felt like every medical file in the galactic internet in search of answers. Meanwhile, you had reluctantly allowed Nebula to run some scans knowing full well that your baby was more than safe. That the Luphomoid would never do something that would put her in harm’s way. Still you worried, even after your partner was relatively satisfied with what he found.
“She sounds so miserable, and it’s like nothing I do makes any difference.” You looked over at Adam as he took a seat beside you. “I hate this. I hate this more than any of those assholes we’ve ever had to fight--and I’m not trying to be dramatic, but this is my baby and she is upset and nothing I try helps! I…” You inhaled deeply, trying to reel yourself back in. “When I first met you, I didn’t think it was possible to fall so deeply in love again--and even though this is a different kind of love, I just feel like I’m failing.”
Adam’s cheek rested against the baby’s as he maneuvered her so he had a free arm to put around you. “Your feelings are more than valid, my love. I wish I could ease your stress equally as much as I wish for our daughter’s recovery.” He leaned over and pressed a kiss to your temple. “You need your rest. I can tell you are very tired. Let me take care of Aydith.”
You shook your head, fighting back a yawn. That would’ve only proved his point. “I’m fine.” You told him firmly. “I don’t need sleep. Not when she is like this.”
“But you do, especially as you’ve had the same exposure as her.” Adam countered, gazing straight into your eyes. “You becoming sick like her won’t do either of you any benefits, my love, so please, I implore you to sleep. Please don’t make me call upon Mantis to assist you.” He really had an odd way of saying things sometimes. “Deal?”
Adam was right. You really needed to rest. All of your energy had been spent long ago worrying and taking care of your daughter. As much as you hated to admit it, you weren’t any use to her if you were out of commission yourself. Frowning softly, you gave in and nodded.
“Okay.” You responded reluctantly, but finally agreed. “But if she seems like she is getting worse, you’ll get me up. And you won’t let me sleep too long.”
“I suppose that is reasonable enough.” He accepted as Aydith whined, wriggling in his grasp. Adam shifted her to his other shoulder and gently patted her back. “I shall take her in another room so it is quieter for you. We’ll be fine, won’t we, my tiny comet?”
Your mouth curved into a small smile, the first you’ve had in awhile. He was so good with her. So amazing that it made you love him that much more. You couldn’t ask for a better father for your child. And Gods did he adore her too. Talk about you hitting the jackpot.
You leaned in, kissing Aydith’s flushed cheek. “Only a nap, nothing too long.” You reminded Adam, taking a moment to kiss him. “And if she gets worse…”
“You have my word,Y/N. But I assure you, all will be well. Aydith is strong like her mother.” He hummed, glancing over at his daughter. “Now we will step out so you can sleep. I love you dearly and, though she cannot talk yet, I know Aydith shares my feelings too.”
“I love you both too.” And you wished there was a more powerful word to convey that.
Lying on your bed, you didn’t expect for you to fall asleep as quickly as you did. You honestly thought your body would fight your mind over remaining conscious. But you were gone. Floating in a dreamless state. A dark void enveloping you in a tight embrace. If it wasn’t for the distant sound of rhythm, perhaps you would’ve stayed there.
Your eyes opened, mind still fuzzy from sleep as you sat up. The music you heard was definitely there, not something you had dreamed up. And something about the tune felt so familiar. Adam and Aydith were nowhere to be seen--but what was more surprising, you couldn’t hear the softest of whimpers. Slightly worried, you forced your body up and made your way over to the doorway that led to the small space that served as your living room. The music grew louder as you quietly peeked in.
The Lion Sleeps Tonight by The Tokens. That’s why you recognized it. You didn’t remember much from your childhood on Earth, but you had the vaguest of memories of your mother playing that along with a few other songs when she was trying to coax you and Peter into falling asleep during a long car ride. You noticed the clunky radio Phyla had gifted to you--or rather, Aydith, as a present. The thing was pretty old and banged up, but that kinda gave it character. You looked away from it, your attention suddenly drawn to the figure standing right in the center of the room.
What Adam was doing, you couldn’t exactly call it dancing. It was more so like a bobbing, rocking sort of motion that kinda gave off the impression of someone having literal ants in their pants. Sometimes he’d sway back and forth before immediately stopping in his tracks to do knee bends. It was the strangest and yet, oddly cute thing you’d ever seen him do. And when you listened closely, he was even singing under his breath. Until that moment, it hadn’t even clicked in your mind that he was still holding Aydith. Nor that she was finally asleep.
“Hey.” You whispered, trying your best not to startle him. “Whatcha doing?”
Adam’s head snapped in your direction. “Oh! I’m sorry, did I wake you?” You shook your head and he sighed in relief. “Good. I have successfully aided our child.” “I can see that.” You smiled, making your way over to him. “You give Peter a run for his money with those moves.”
Adam beamed. “I call it The Dad Disco--I’m not quite sure what disco looks like, but I really liked the sound of it.” He looked down at the baby and you could’ve sworn his eyes sparkled. “I must admit, I was growing concerned but then when she finally fell asleep…well, I feel very accomplished now. I’m glad she’s out.”
“Me too.” You replied, admiring your daughter in his arms. “You’re an amazing dad, you know that?”
“I certainly couldn’t do it without you. We make quite the team, don’t we?” Adam smiled at you.
“Yeah. I’d say we’re pretty great together.” You reached out and lightly touched her small hand. “She makes it all worth it, huh?”
“Every millisecond.” He fell silent, eyes fixed on her before focusing on you. “If she stays asleep when I put her down in the crib, would you care to have a dance with me? I promise that we don’t have to do The Dad Disco. That’s more reserved for Aydith.”
You gave him a grin. “I think I would like that very much.”

Was meant to post this yesterday but forgot, so here’s more of the Caring Corporate AU (don’t know if Ima keep the name or not)
A bit more background information: FazBear is essentially the Disney of this world. Henry and William are both the founders of FazBear Entertainment but William is given more credit due to being more vocal and extroverted than Henry. Fredbear��s Family Diner was the first location and is considered the “golden era” or “humble beginnings” of FazBear. Then the location of Fnaf 2 and Fnaf 1 are the “renaissance” of the company. FazBear Frights isn’t connected to the company but after a lawsuit, then belongs to the company. FazBear tried pop-up pizzerias to gain money which is where Pizzeria Sim falls, then Security Breach and the pizzaplex are considered the “resurgence” of FazBear’s. The company started off as a family and friends establishment but with William going insane and becoming a murder it hurt the reputation. Then CEOs after only used FazBear as a way to get rich, making the company into a cash cow. After the events of Security Breach, FazBear goes through multiple temporary CEOs before landing on Henry, who then stays as the CEO bring FazBear back to its roots as a family and friends based company.
Info on DJ, Puppet, and Baby along with separated designs under cut.
DJ Music Man: Mostly referred to as DJ or the DJ. DJ is the tallest animatronic standing either 10’3 or 7’1. DJ had gotten an update after the event of Security Breach. Speaking of, due to how large DJ was, the virus could only latch onto one of his protocols it being the Bouncer Mode DJ had. Whatever was in his “territory” would trigger Bouncer Mode and therefore the virus would take hold for a bit. With the upgrades the other animatronics were getting, the staff thought that DJ should also get some upgrades.
While his regular body hasn’t changed much aside from a new paint job, DJ was given a smaller body that he could freely walk around in. The manager thought it unfair that Sun was able to walk around the pizzaplex before sometimes but the DJ wasn’t. His smaller body mirrors his more spider like one, with some changes. Around his waist, DJ has two more sets of arms that are interchangeable in size to help his Bouncer Mode. DJ has “dreadlocks” which are just cables that he can plug into any sound system and project music from it or his body or be used as a charging cable. DJ’s eyes are shaped like sunglasses and kinda work like Fresh Sans’ glasses if you’ve seen how that works. DJ mostly stays in the West Arcade where he is in a bit of a rivalry with Glamrock Puppet. He is closest with Moon, Monty, Puppet, and Ballora, though DJ is friends with everyone.
Glamrock Baby: Otherwise known as GB, Glam Baby, or just Baby. Baby stands around 6’5 and is one of the more middle sized animatronics. GB had been around from the start like Ballora, Puppet, and Foxy but due to budget restraints before the events of Security Breach, was shelved away for a later use. GB doesn’t know much about the virus or what happened after she was put on standby other than what staff and the other animatronics told her. While Baby doesn’t fit the “glam rock era”, her design is more based off of retro diners and 1950s diner fashion. She’s given roller skates in her feet to help her move around quicker in her area, though the wheels can be stored away similarly to heelys.
GB’s area is a food establishment within the plex called the GlamRock Diner. While the diner is her biggest attraction, Baby has a Cooking Mama-like attraction near China’s Bakery. In which Baby will allow children to try and make a recipe similar to how the Cooking Mama games play out. She also hosts an event similar to Master Chef in which she’ll allow the adults to make whatever they want under a time limit. GB is the closest with Chica, Sun, and Ballora.
Glamrock Puppet: Otherwise known as Puppet. Puppet is the third tallest animatronic standing at 6’8. Like GB, Puppet has been around since the start of the pizzaplex but due to budget restrictions had to be shelved some months before the events of Security Breach. Puppet doesn’t really know much about the virus, only knowing what staff told them. They don’t want to ask the other animatronics due to it being a sore topic and wanting bygones to be bygones. Puppet was the hardest to design but inspiration arose from the fanon Glamrock Puppet design along with some things from Glamrock Chica.
Puppet works in the East Arcade, mostly because if DJ’s area is referred to as the West Arcade,there had to be an East one. They have a friendly rivalry with DJ about whose arcade is better. Puppet tends to stay in the Prize Corner section of their arcade. Puppet’s main gimmick within their arcade is one similar to gambling or taking bets. Essentially, someone in the arcade goes to battle against Puppet in a game of the audience’s choosing. Whomever wins gets a prize out of Puppet’s Box, which has gain a reputation of having the best rewards. If the West Arcade is similar to a club/nightclub, then the East Arcade is similar to a casino/bar. Puppet is closest to DJ and Foxy.

How did you know your into being dominant ? Anything particular you like in a sub ?
So, this became a bit longer than I had anticipated, so my reply to both questions will be under a cut!
For your first question: Honestly, I think I have known from a very young age, even before puberty.
I’ve always felt drawn to stories about deep, meaningful relationships based on some sort of power imbalance and extreme devotion, like servants and knights who would do anything for their master or king. Basically, any character who was naturally submissive towards an authority figure and who was deeply devoted to them.
Scenes in which someone knelt in front of their master were my favourites and I’d re-read them over and over again. It wasn’t sexually motivated since I was too young for that, and yet something about these types of scenes always made my heart race.
Then during puberty, I discovered that I was attracted to both men and women but I don’t enjoy being penetrated and never liked the expectations that society held for women in straight relationships. I never wanted to be the object of someone’s desires, I wanted to be the active party who has agency and be the person who leads and initiates. I never liked the thought of me lying there and having someone else shower me with affection, I wanted to be the person in control and do these things to someone else and make sure they feel good.
Because of this, I thought I was fully lesbian for a long time, even though I do find men attractive. But I never thought it would be possible to be a man without all of the associated gender roles and the way straight sex was framed in general was such a turn-off, with the language people use and all the gendered expectations.
I only ever dated women because it was easier to escape those expectations and easier to explain what being a stone top means. I never believed men would be interested in getting penetrated and being submissive so I stuck to female partners who enjoyed it.
And of course, I’m not saying you can’t be dominant and enjoy being penetrated, it’s just something that I personally don’t want and it’s really hard to escape that expectation if you try dating in straight circles.
Seeking out online spaces for femdom (and in particular, Tumblr as it tends to be less focused on straight relationships and rigid gender roles, in general) really helped me strengthen my own understanding of my sexuality.
Now, onto your second question:
Truthfully, I am very picky when it comes to choosing a sub since I’m not really interested in just casual play so my sub would also be my romantic partner (I’m not talking about answering a spicy ask/message here and there, I’m very open to that, just anything beyond that is purely reserved for my romantic partner).
Generally, I would be looking for a “naturally submissive” sub, not just someone who is into it as a kink. That doesn’t mean I’m looking for a 24/7 type of deal at all, I just mean that I want a sub who is just that – submissive. They want me to actually be in charge in the bedroom and are happy to do what I want to do instead of only wanting a “kink dispenser” who caters to their every wish.
It’s a bit ironic, considering that my preferred domming style is very focused on the sub and their pleasure but at the same time I don’t want to be told what to do. It’s fine to give suggestions, they should absolutely have kinks they love and firm limits they don’t want to cross but it gets annoying when I feel like they want to “direct” the scene.
It’s also very important to me that my sub sees me as an actual real-life human being who is flawed, just like everyone else. I’m not some mysterious goddess who is always “on” and in domme mode 24/7. I’m often quite dorky and awkward and they need to be able to understand that and understand that real life isn’t fantasy and people don’t behave like they do in whatever pornography they have seen or erotica they have read.
I need to get the impression that I actually matter to them as a person, beyond the utility I can offer to them (and of course, I will do them the same courtesy!).
Needless to say, the same things apply here as in any other relationship: good communication, the willingness to listen and speak up if there are problems, mutual respect (especially with regards to boundaries) and trust, willingness to compromise, a strong sense of self and independence, loyalty, empathy, dependability, an overall emotional connection and so on.
(And of course, what I have listed here are things that I would also strive to give back in return in a relationship!)
Naturally, we should also have compatible kinks and a similar idea of what our D/s dynamic should look like and my sub should have a strong idea of their limits (saying they have “no limits” is a red flag, for sure!). I need to be able to trust them to actually use their safeword if they need to (just as they need to trust me to also then stop the scene if they do and not be mad at them for using their safeword).
Having standards is also a green flag – if I get the impression that they are actually picky about who gets to dom(me) them it already helps to make me feel more at ease and like I’m actually being treated like a person instead of just their kink wish fulfillment.
Of course, like anyone else, physical attraction plays a strong role in who I want to date/take as a sub, but I am attracted to a lot of different "types" and I do think how someone carries themselves and their general mannerisms and personality play a huge role in my attraction to them as well.
Also, I think as someone whose love language is Acts of Service and who enjoys taking care of my partners, it’s easy to attract subs who genuinely believe I can/will “fix” them when the truth is: no one can fix you but yourself. Of course, it is always easier to improve yourself when you have the support of someone else but the drive to change needs to come from within.
So, I need my sub to be an actual adult, capable of living their day-to-day life. That doesn’t mean they’re not allowed to struggle with things (I do as well), just that they need to be overall mature and independent.
Now, I do think it's fun to give subs incentives to improve their lives, to give them little tasks and rewards and I think it can be a good way to help them keep good habits, but this only really works to a small extent and they still need to be motivated to change by themselves.
Additionally, a potential sub would need to not be into any kinks that are misogynistic, homophobic or racist like s/issies and c/uckolding (it shouldn't be degrading to be penetrated or to wear feminine clothing or to have sex with black men, unless you actually believe being a woman or being black or gay is inherently more degrading than being a white straight man).
For male subs, they need to be feminist allies and be actively working on undoing toxic masculinity and be respectful to women in general, not just the ones they’re attracted to and not just for however long they need to get into a woman’s pants. I think a lot of male subs think just because they’re “submissive” they’re somehow above misogyny when truthfully, I have experienced more sexism from male subs than I have from any of the regular blokes in my life.
In terms of overall personality, I’m hugely attracted to people who are just genuinely good people – kind and helpful. I adore gentle people and even those who are a bit shy. I don’t need someone to be the smartest person or the most confident or the funniest, just try to be the kindest version of yourself you can be.
I think that’s all! Sorry for the long rambling response but I really enjoyed getting all my thoughts out. I hope some of this is still useful to you (or anyone else who happens to be reading this!).

Have you watched Rise of the tmnt? If so, whats your opinion on it? Is one of my favourite shows 👉👈
I have only watched probably about a dozen episodes while babysitting. Probably less than that. However, just from that... RotTMNT might be one of the best Shounen THINGS I have ever seen. And by shounen, I just mean general action adventure, in the same way it's categorized in Shounen Jump, not just that it's trying to be like Dragonball or the like. This actually isn't because of the animation or choreography like most will point out. Don't get me wrong, the show looks amazing and I would love a glimpse into the process for the show to know how they could do what they did, so often and so consistently, on a television show's budget.
No, this more comes from a failing that most action centric shows have and one that has arguably been getting worse as of late: Growth. Not character growth, though again it was clearly doing some stuff and doing it well, but growth as a fighter. Their skills actively improving episode by episode.
It's something that if you're not entrenched in this sort of stuff, or just don't care about it, you aren't going to notice. They don't bring a lot of attention to it and on screen, you are told they're training but only every now and then do we see the training which is pretty classic. However, they start at ROCK. BOTTOM. but by the time they have their villains returning for the first times, you can actually contrast their first fight with their second fight most of the time and there's a noticeable improvement and you can actually kind of track it through the episodes just by them becoming more familiar with their weapons, ambitious in their techniques, etc. like that. Not always in a way that succeeds but in ways that show they're genuinely trying to get better.
The best example I can think of is when their battle tank is introduced and Splinter takes it for a joyride. One of their villains joins Splinter on this for nefarious purposes and the boys have to fight him between two moving vehicles. The first time he showed up (the mutant hog that threatens to cook them in his first appearance if I remember right), they won through gadgets Donny made that they utilized to their advantage after they hindered them but it was as much a fluke as anything. Here though, we have Leo starting to finally understand how he can try using his portals to not just parry projectiles but also send them back. He's not good at it but even the idea of Leo parrying an attack, let alone a projectile, while balanced on a chain was just infeasible within the first half a dozen episodes because, let's be honest, he seemed about as likely to stab himself as an opponent early on.
This is contrast to the fact that the general basics of combat have started becoming kind of a given? Like let's take Deku from My Hero Academia. He does a LOT of strength training early on but... When the fuck did he learn to fight? Knowing strategy and having seen moves be put into implementation are VERY different from actually implementing any of that so he can, I dunno, judo throw someone who is WAY better a fighter than him. So he can use rescue tape in a similar way to a hero who has perfected it. All from a kid who, as far as we, know didn't train ever before getting All for One. He was a fanboy. This reflects how his power grows early on. How does he learn to master his first version of the power? Kind of just through pain tolerance. He's not trying new things, not learning to do it faster or planning ahead or even seeming to actually try and constrain the power at all. It takes someone else going "Maybe try NOT using literally all your power at once," for him to even consider the concept. It's a very boring way to do growth and it's pretty common in action where growth is much more "Look at my new weapon," or, "Let me bust out my new technique or super mode!" Few of them, especially anime inspired works, are about iteration.
That is ALL I saw in RotTMNT. Hell, even looking at later fight scenes, these moves are bigger but the core is the same. It's just further mastery of the skill set which is honestly WAY more satisfying as a form of growth. It's not just a new finishing technique, the person has genuinely become a better fighter. They can handle ANY situation better because their basics and their specials are improving and you can tell without it being shoved in your face. That requires such a deft hand and such an understanding of this sort of things works, especially to make it still feel right in a medium where it can feel like only two days have actually passed in ten episodes, that it's commendable and I think it deserves credit for it, even without having seen all of it. I can say you would learn, genuinely, from it just by watching early on for how they try to take these small but noticeable steps.
It's fantastic and definitely a show I should finish at some point... Just like Craig of the Creek and so many others. sigh See you next tale.
