I want to throw out there that during the Nuremberg trials, (which the U.S. had a degree of participation in) from my memory, a common argument was they were just following orders... it was determined that is not an excusable defense.
I'm not saying that Cops are super educated about things. But a good chunk of them are obsessed with U.S. Military/War history and potentially about the history of 'Policing'. I do think that there is actually a pretty high chance of some of these Cops knowing this.
But also, Texas has an incredibly high Latino population. If you're vaguely working class (as someone who lives in an area with similar immigrant population) then you know (if you're trusted) that some of your best co-workers, neighbors etc... Pillars of the Community are Undocumented Immigrants. They're going to In-Laws, Co-Workers, that awesome teacher of your kid... They work cleaning your house, your work, fixing your cars. And friends. Every one in an area with a high enough population of undocumented workers, have lost someone important to them. (at least if they've bothered getting to know their local community at all) and sometimes they've found out after the fact that they're undocumented and were deported.
One of my favorite co-workers was a former University Professor (in Mexico) and had to escape the Cartel. She hasn't seen her extended family for 40 years because it's unsafe there for her. She's sure that if she returned, she wouldn't live. (Last I knew she's still safe. But I haven't worked with her in 5 years and she was over retirement age, her son didn't want her working at all because she was almost 80.)
They're people we love. And most cops have a degree of belief that they're good people. And how can you believe that about yourself if you're not willing to stand up for someone you love? For people who actually know these communities, this is the straw, that's going to make them realize how harmful and hateful their views have been.
I don't fault anyone for not sharing their undocumented status as it may put them and their entire family at risk. But not being able to be honest with loved ones... it makes Jose the scary immigrant taking jobs stereotype, more real then Hector who works with you every day and is hard working, willing to do anything at work to get the job done and roots for the same football team... and is one of those so-called scary illegal immigrants.
It just sucks because disclosing their status to the wrong person puts them at risk. (So their loved ones assume that they're one of the 'good mexicans' who came here legally.) So they can't say it to anyone who hasn't overwhelmingly been outspoken about their support for illegal immigrants.
My workplace only had maybe 5-10 white people working there at a time, with a staff of around 50-90 people. Because of the inherent risk, when we would get more Latino people in, none of them would risk talking to me until unknown stranger (only similar cultural background and shared native language etc) who they had met same time as me, okayed me. Because too much of an accent could risk being found out. And they didn't know if I was a 'safe' white person. We had issues keeping employees there for a lot of reasons I won't go into... so during the 8 years I worked there... I probably saw this interaction happen 1,000-3,000 times. I got it. They had to prioritize their safety over being polite. (Not that talking to me was required to be polite.) They were right to do it. I'd advise anyone to do the same, wait until you know that person is safe before telling them. Safety matters then making nice with your co-workers.
I went to school with undocumented kids, some of my favorite people didn't have legal status of any kind. (As part of this story happened before DACA.) Can you imagine being absolutely scared everywhere you go in public, especially when a white person speaks loudly how they "need to speak English" that someone is going to call ICE on you and your family. (And that might cause anyone associated with your family to come under investigation for their legal status) and then they're just going to drop you in a country probably 1,000s of miles away from anyone you knew from before (if you were old enough to have known anyone from before) with none of the resources that you worked hard to establish in that other country.
I had friends that had been here since they were 2, or 4 years old... kids who didn't speak Spanish. Getting dropped in Mexico ('their home' to bigots) would have been incredibly scary and they wouldn't be able to navigate the situation by themselves.
Immigration is a complicated issue for some. But standing up for those people who you love, shouldn't be. It's pretty simple. Loved ones at risk, makes you at risk for losing love ones. Why the hell would you cooperate with that? Why would you help them?
This is going to be a big wake-up call for those people who think they don't know any undocumented immigrants. If they're successful in what they say their goals are.

Pranking them
bigbang x reader
Tumblr media
A/N: This is was inspired by a fic i saw on here i can’t find the @ though :(
summary: doing the calling your boyfriend/husband ‘friend’ prank on bigbang members.
warnings: None just flufff
wc: 1.2k+
Tumblr media
❦choi seunghyun (T.O.P)
You were currently scrolling through tiktok, seunghyun was currently in the kitchen getting snacks for you both as you were watching a movie.
As you were scrolling you came across a tiktok video, a girl was pranking her boyfriend by calling him her friend on a call.
You thought it was a funny idea and decided you were going to do this to seunghyun, as he’s not on social media you knew he wouldn’t know what you were doing.
You could hear him heading back into the living room so you put your phone to your ear and you start pretending to speak to someone.
“It’s so nice to hear from you, how are you doing?” You speak pretending to act interested.
Seunghyun walked back into the living room with snacks in his hand, he placed them on table before sitting down on the couch.
You place your legs on his and tell him you will only be a minute, he nodded his head at your words and he began to slowly rub your legs.
“Yeah i’m doing good thank you, just about to watch a movie with my friend.” You say trying to hold in a laugh, seunghyun didn’t react so you decided to add a little more to the prank.
“I would love to meet up just send me message when you’re not busy.” You smile into your phone, you look up to see if seunghyun was listening but his phone was in one hand and his other hand was still rubbing your legs.
“Alright i have to go, don’t want to leave my friend waiting any longer.” You say slightly louder so seunghyun could definitely hear you.
His movements stop at your words, you smirk slightly glad he’s now aware of what you said. You end the fake call and place your phone next to you on the couch.
“Sorry about that, let’s watch the movie now.” You say picking up the remote.
“Who was that?” He hummed.
His eyes were still locked to his phone screen. “Oh just an old friend, he’s back in town and he wants to meet up.” You replied calmly.
His jaw clenched before his hand gripped onto your legs. “mhm” Is all he let out, You giggle deciding to tease him a little more.
“Why don’t you find us a movie to watch friend.” You laugh, his head whipped towards you he had a serious look on his face.
“You’re not funny.” He said grabbing your ankles and pulling you down the coach slightly, he got on his knees and hovered above you.
“I’m sorry babe it was just a prank.” You pout looking up at him sweetly. “Well now i’m going to show you just how good of ‘friend’ i am.” He smirked crashing his lips onto yours.
❦ Kwon Ji-Yong (Gdragon)
Jiyong was currently in the kitchen cooking for you two so you could have dinner. You were sat on a stool in front of the counter in your kitchen.
You usually sat with him whilst he cooks to give him some company but you also like being in his presence especially when he’s been busy working.
“Okay baby, try this.” He smiled walking over to you with a wooden spoon in his hand, He put the spoon to your lips and you opened your mouth and collected the food from the spoon.
“It’s yummy.” You hummed licking your lips, he smiled and walked back over to the stove to carry on with the food.
Your phone buzzes so you reach over and get your phone to check. It was a message from your best friend she sent a video with the caption ‘Do this to jiyong😂❤️’.
You curiously click on the video and let it play. Once the video started playing your best friends face popped up on the screen and she was explaining how she was going to prank her boyfriend.
The prank is to pretend you’re on the phone with someone and say that you’re with a friend when you are with your partner.
You giggle at the video and decided you were going to do it to jiyong. You went onto your settings and clicked the phone ringtone button.
“Hey (y/f/n), how have you been.” You speak with the phone to your ear, jiyong’s back was still facing you, his hands still stirring the food on the stove.
“Oh i’m just with my friend at the moment, i can hang out tomorrow though.”
You see jiyong’s movements stop for a second but he gets back to whatever he was doing once you continue to speak again.
“Yeah Me and my friend are just going to have some dinner, what are you doing.” You smile trying not to let out a laugh.
Jiyong’s body whipped around at your words. “Hey i thought i heard you say friend.” He said with a stern look.
“One second i’m just on the phone.” You whisper to him. “Yeah sorry sorry my friend keeps talking to me.” You smirk looking at jiyong.
He walks closer to where you’re sat and puts his head closer to your phone. “SHES WITH HER HUSBAND.” He yelled into your phone.
You push him back slightly away from you. “Ji stop.” You giggle. “No no I am your husband, baby. don’t you forget that.” He smiled kissing your lips.
❦Kang Daesung
You’ve been seeing this prank all around online and you wanted to do it to your boyfriend daesung, you don’t usually do pranks on him often so you thought this would be perfect.
You decided you were going to send a voice note instead of doing the call everyone does.
You and daesung were currently over at a friends house for some food and to catch up, You enter the living a sit down next to your boyfriend.
“Hey my love, everything okay?” He asks smiling at you. You nod and come up with an excuse for the prank, you told him your sister was messaging you non stop about something.
For a couple minutes you pretend you’re messaging your sister then you decide you’d send a voice note.
“Can you please stop messaging me, i’m next to my friend and he can see everything.” You say speaking into your phone, after that you put your phone away and got into your friends conversation.
A couple hours went by and you completely forgot about the prank you pulled on daesung, he’s been silent for a while and you’re now starting to feel a bit worried.
“Hey, you okay.” You ask him whilst grabbing his hands. He nods a yes at your words and pulls his hand out from yours.
“Dae tell me what’s wrong.” You softly speak, he huffs before turning to you. “Why did you call me your friend on the message you sent to your sister?” He quietly spoke.
Your eyes widen at his words. “Oh my god i’m so sorry that was just a prank i forgot i did it.”
He pouts at your words, you lean in and grab his face. “I am sorry dae.” You whisper before giving him a kiss on his cheek.
You place another kiss on his head, then you move on to his nose. “What are you doing?” He laughed looking up at you.
“Giving you kisses until i’m forgiven.” You smirk placing your lips on his.

Hii!
Can I have a small fic or hcs of black sapphire cookie and a fem reader on Valentine’s Day, and how he basically skips out on work to spoil his darling gem? And when he gets home all covered in smooches, he gets teased by shadow milk and candy apple? :3
(You don’t have to if you don’t want to, I just think it’d be cute! >v<)
☆ Sapphire Sweetness — Black Sapphire Cookie x Fem Reader Valentine's HCs ☆
Genre: Fluff || she/her pronouns for reader || No warnings needed
Tumblr media
──────.𖥔 ݁ ˖˗ˏˋ ★ ˎˊ˗.𖥔 ݁ ˖ ──────
ᯓᡣ𐭩 Black Sapphire Cookie is a rather showy guy, so of course to him a day about spoiling his precious gem is one where he's absolutely gonna go all out. You wake up to a huge bouquet and like five gifts being poured into your arms all at once
ᯓᡣ𐭩 He got a bunch of second-rate acts to cover his shift for broadcasting while taking the day to spend time with you! He gripes a little about how those novices better not tank his ratings, but he puts it aside the second you come out with your outfit for the day and he's immediately cooing at you while gushing compliments
ᯓᡣ𐭩 Speaking of which, clothes shopping is something he's rather fond of. Sure it can be tedious and boring, but you look stunning in everything! You have a right to show off to the world! He assures you anything you want will be gotten, no questions asked
ᯓᡣ𐭩 After that is of course a bit of sightseeing. Not on the ground, no no, what do you take him for? He sets his staff sideways and has you cling onto his waist from behind while he hovers you both around. It's faster, more efficient, and he gets to feel you pressed close to his back, so he much prefers it to walking
ᯓᡣ𐭩 Dinner is absolutely a must, and he has just the spot for you both. A picnic with just the two of you might seem a little out of pattern, but he admits that he does like when it's only you and him. The eyes of the world are nice, absolutely, but he feels warm just knowing he has your gaze alone
ᯓᡣ𐭩 One of the (many) gifts he gives you is a purple lipstick, a deep and rich amethyst shade that somewhat matches his own hues. He comments that he thinks it's a charmingly subtle way of carrying around his presence, but he admits he also thinks you just look stunning in purple. He does note that he didn't test the product, to which you have the perfect solution
ᯓᡣ𐭩 After the day concludes and he makes sure you get back home safe, Black Sapphire reports back to Shadow Milk and Candy Apple. He's confused and even a little offended when they look to him in shock before exploding into cackling fits
ᯓᡣ𐭩 After insisting to know what's so funny, they show Black Sapphire that he has kiss marks from you all over his face. Forehead, cheeks, lips, the works. Black Sapphire feels the dough on his face burn with blush as he tries to tell them to cut it out in a very flustered manner, only leading to more prodding and teasing. The next time they see you, the two are definitely gonna find a way to mention it

A few months ago I reached out to a fic author, whose writing I liked but I kept being frustrated by them making white the default, and their descriptions of Black people being always lacking...it was always just the color of their skin, clothes, and hair style, compared to their descriptions of white people which often included everything from eye color, hair texture and color, nose shape, jaw shape. Even other people of color got more attention to detail than Black people.
I emailed them a link to Lesson 3 and politely explained my frustrations with their writing, and how their Black characters' descriptions were lacking. They were pretty pissy about it...which like, I get, no one likes being called out. They're offering free stories, but also their Black characters were otherwise well written! Enjoyable characters. It took me weeks just to figure out how to word my email and be as nice as possible, but I still got the, "if you don't like it, don't read it," and, "no one asked you," type response. So I did stop reading because I mean, I was equally salty about their response.
But wait!!! Outta curiosity checked out some of their recent chapters and they've absolutely improved! Rather than saying, "the brunette," to refer to a white character with brown hair, they actually mentioned that she was white and no longer are making it the default. They're now describing the texture of Black characters' hair, the shade of their skin, giving them freckles, mentioning face shape and hair style! It's a huge improvement!
It sucks that most people can't just accept being called out on racism in their writing without becoming defensive, but it's always worthwhile to try! Thank you for your lessons and the work you put into these resources!
The audacity to be pissy about it, fix it, and then never reach out to apologize to you for both their rudeness and what was clearly advice they took is crazy work... Nonetheless, I'm proud of you for speaking up, offering a resource, and standing your ground! And you're welcome 👍🏾

I was wondering if you can write about Duke introducing his goth partner to the batfam
New Member!
Duke Thomas x Goth!reader
Tumblr media
wc: 1.2K summary: Goth!reader has dinner with the Batfam! warnings: none, fluff, no y/n used, some dry jokes from the batfam... a/n: divider (@bernardsbendystraws), i know the theme of this doesn't match the drabble but i wanted it to be pretty,,,, hope you enjoy!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
When you first said you wanted to meet his family, Duke rather anxious. He doesn‘t want to know how you‘d react to his four brothers and one sister, who just happen to atheletes and the children of Bruce Wayne himself. Especially, since he wants his parents to see you first, he knows that won‘t happen any time soon. But once he got over it with telling you, Duke was sure that it won‘t go as bad as he initially thought.
Now, you are the one being nervous, as you stand before the big gates, holding Duke‘s hand in yours. He tries to reassure you by squeezing your hand, eventually pressing a soft kiss at the back of it.
»You can do it. If anything annoys you, you can just kick their ass...They‘re used to it.« He shrugs before opening the gates and stepping inside together, finally entering the manor. Sighing out, you follow suit, being mostly awkward, since the interior makes you feel out of place. Duke starts walking to a certain room, being able to glance over some of the big portraits that hang around the high walls. You‘d linger and take a better look at them, but Duke is determined to introduce you to everyone else. Once in the dinner area, you get greeted by Bruce, watching a soft smile appear on his face. Now that you see him in person, he actually comes off as a sweet person. No judgement in his eyes, just pure curiosity to get to know you.
»Ah, there you both are, Alfred is almost done with the food. It‘s nice to finally meet you.« He reaches out to shake your hand, eyes widening slightly at the sight of your long nails. But he doesn‘t comment, instead, he guides the pair of you to the dinner room.
Duke tenses up slightly once he hears the faint sounds of argument from the dinner table, already regretting the thought of what could happen next. Fortunately, the room quiets down once you step food inside, feeling all eyes on you. You can see all kind of reaction; surprise, excitement, disbelief and slight fascination?
Cassandra seems ot have taken a liking on you quickly, even though this is the first time she‘s ever seen you. Luckily, the room doesn‘t get stuck on silence for long as Dick speaks up first.
»So, how long have you two been together? Duke never told me about you!«
Duke scoffs lightly beside you, shaking his head in disagreement. »A little over a year, and I told you about us.«
Dick rolls his eyes in return, crossing his arms in attempt to shield his ego. Jason decides to step in, also wanting to press a jab at his older brother, while pointing at Dick.
»Dude was begging for him to tell him about you. Don‘t trust him.«
While Jason and Dick continue to insult each other lightly, you get seated on the long dinner table, getting Cassandra to sit at your left, and Duke on your right. Surprisingly, you get into an easy conversation with her. She seems nice and interested in your style, getting to admire your outfit and long, sharp nails. Duke just feels glad that you don‘t feel left out and seem to feel comfortable at the table.
A while later, Alfred enters the room with a tray of food, rolling it inside. He serves it, keeping his usual neutral face, but smiles sweetly once his eyes fall on you. The food is scrumptious-looking, and you will make sure to come over more regularly. However, you pause and stay seated beside Duke, just listening to the conversations around. He notices your hesitation before taking your hand under the table, starting to get a little worried.
»What‘s wrong?«
»Oh, nothing, it‘s just I can‘t eat this because of the meat...« You mumble back, trying to be quiet about it and keep it between the two of you. Unfortunately for you, Alfred gets wind of it as he cleans up the tray briefly, speaking up finally.
»You‘re vegetarian, sweetheart? Oh, you should‘ve told me sooner, I also made something without meat.«
He smiles, getting another portion for you and swaps it with your previous plate of food. You feel rather confused, not having thought that they would have prepared a vegetarian dish, but a quick glance around the table, makes you realise that Damian has the same dish as you. Duke makes sure you actually feel comfortable before finally eating as well, catching the faintest of smiles on Damian‘s face.
»Thank god, I almost thought you were a vampire and couldn‘t eat garlic.« Tim jabs jokingly, however he gets a sharp glare from both Cassandra and Duke.
During dinner, you luckily didn‘t get any more questions thrown your way, getting to enjoy the food and the company of his family. Bruce then decides to ditch the party, knowing that it‘s probably way more interesting for you to get to know his sibkings than an old man like himself.
Damian walks up to Duke while you talk more to Cass, using the moment to ask something.
»Duke, have you already told her about our pets yet?«
»Uh… not yet, no. Why?« He asks back, already having a heavy suspicion. The youngest then glances your way, before growing a little sheepish and meeting Duke‘s gaze again.
»Can I show her around?«
That took him by surprise, since Damian is known for being protective about his pets. But who is he to deny him?
You notice someone walking up to you before Damian stops in front of you, interrupting the conversation you have between Cassandra and Tim.
»I want to show you my pets.« Very straight forward, but it works on you.
You follow Damian around with everyone else, first going outside to introduce the Batcow and Goliath. Jason warns you of Goliath, making up a random story to try and scare you, but Duke stomps right over it and relieves the lie.
»C‘mon, I can‘t even scare someone off nowadays...«
Finally, inside the stall, you get overwhelmed with cuteness once you see the fluffy cow. You try to hold back, but once you are allowed to pet her, you don‘t waste you time on it. Damian tells a few funfacts about her before you get to give her a few snacks, making her whole day a lot better. Dick begs Damian to pet her too, eventually getting happy and gently petting the cow‘s head. But that was a bad idea, since everyone else wants to pet her, which only ends up with the siblings standing in a circle around the cow, feeling at the soft pur and giving her some snacks. Goliath simply watches until he also wants attention, sitting beside the batcow now.
Duke tells you about how this friendly demon ended up in Damian‘s posession, before you simply nod, deciding not to disturb it. Going back inside, Damian finds the cat and lets you hold him while he takes care of his dog, Titus. It‘s safe to say that you do not regret coming over for dinner, having had a blast at the end with all these various animals.
Bruce spends some time researching about you and contemplating if he trusts you yet or not. He wouldn‘t question Duke‘s judgement, but he still wants to make sure that you aren‘t a threat. It‘s what he always does to his kids, after all.

(Sorry for the wait but turns out writing domestic stuff is not my forte. Hopes it satisfy some of you! Angst is coming ! And also planning some more fics with the cod characters being parents and some with romantic meet cute with them. I shut up now)
Being Simon's long lost biological child
part 1 / part 2 / part 3 (you are here!)
Living with someone who had an ankle monitor was odd.
The person being his own flesh and blood was even weirder.
Simon watched them like a hawk, as they visited each of the room he and Johnnh had bought together. A small English cottage, with a garden, and a vegetable one for Simpn. His therapist said it would help him in a way, to manage his anger and his stress. And, even if he hated to admit, it was working pretty well.
His child looked and observed each detail in the living room, mainly the pictures adorning the wall. They stopped in front of one: a picture of Soap and Ghost on their wedding day. It was a small wedding, only with a few people attending, and Johnny's family.
"You're married, uh?" They spoke, arching an eyebrow.
"Yeah. To Johnny." Simon replied with a matter of fact voice. Why was it so hard to speak to them?
"You didn’t even keep a picture of me and mom." They growled with a huff, resentment in their voice, as one of their feet scratched the ankle monitor.
He wanted to say they were wrong. Wrong because Simon had kept some pictures but didn't put them on display. For him, it was a dark time. He was constantly on OP, out, and when he wasn't, he would try to spend time with his child. But being a father was difficult. Too difficult for him because he constantly thought he would be like his own father, and would end up hurting Elsie and the kid.
Johnny came behind him, placing a gentle hand on his hip and a kiss in his neck. But Simon didn't really move. Too much of a coward to face his past.
"Wanna see your room?" The Scott asked (Y/N) gently. "I mean- it's a guest room but it can become your room."
"Whatever."
"Even got your attitude." He mused back to Simon, as the angry kid walked past them.
The older man was no fool. He saw how Johnny tried to sound and be happy, joyful, hopeful, as if everything was going to be alright. But he saw right through him. He saw how frightened he looked. Johnny had been a bit skittish ever since being shot in the head, poor man got deeply traumatised. It was the straw that broke the camel back.
"I got it. Just- take a breather." Simon pecked his lips, smoothing the iconic mohawk of his husband. Smoking was an unhealthy habit they both shared. But as unhealthy as it was, it felt good in a way. Like their problems were going away when they blew out the smoke "And a nice cupa."
He found his kid roaming the room. It was a simple bedroom, with a big bed, the walls were painted a soft blue colour, Johnny's favourite. There were a few paintings done by one of his sisters on the wall, and a China vase his mother has given the couple. And of course, a big wooden closet, full of old clothes and boxes.
"Isn't it nice?" Simon said softly, hands in his pocket. "We could go shopping and-"
"Can't go out of the perimeters of the house except to report back twice a week to Captain Garrick, remember?" (Y/N) spoke back immediately.
"Right. I forgot. Sorry."
"I'm tired." They then spoke out bluntly, clearly not wanting their father here with them.
"I should let you sleep a bit then." Simon moved to close the curtains, plunging the room in darkness. He stopped himself from... from tucking them. Memories flashed back of little four year old (Y/N) squealing in delight when Simon would tuck them, when Elsie was busy studying. She had been a good mother despite her young age. "Erm. If- if you wake up, me and Johnny will be downstairs. We'll try not to be loud or anything."
Would he be ever able to connect with them? Simon wondered as he closed the door.

and like, despite the deliciously shippable couples it has, Twinkling Watermelon is not a romcom, it’s a fantasy coming-of-age. the theme is family, the main relationship is between Eun Gyeol and his father and while their respective romantic storylines are crucial, they’re not central.
which is nice, on the one hand, because it offers a slightly different (and beautiful) kind of story, but then because instead of being [main couple] > [second couple] it’s [son and dad] > [son’s gf and mom], it ends up letting down Eun Yoo and Cheong-ah a bit and leaving their resolutions a bit rushed / open ended (you know, like how in other shows you’ll see the second couple standing together at the main characters’ wedding but no actual, solid resolution).
so the final scene of the show is primarily a bonding moment and a resolution for Yichan and Eun Gyeol, and you don’t get much of Cheongchan and a very quick last-moment wrapping up of Euneun (and like. what happened to our girls in the years in between?? we need answers!)

hi! may i request some mikoto + amane (platonic obvs) … anything? they are very dear to me 😭
Yes!!! Thank you so much for the request -- they really are such a good pair ;-; (The thing is, I had so many nice scenes in mind about how they parallel each other, but they wouldn't know or reveal that about each other so I kept restarting...) Anyway, here's something right after Mikoto's first trial/verdict!
Mikoto could pick up on someone’s bad mood from a mile away, though the skill was unnecessary when the other party very clearly and calmly informed him, “I’m in a bad mood.”
After refusing his offer, Amane turned back to a thick textbook she’d been taking notes on. Didn’t kids usually complain that school was already a prison? She must have wanted the full experience. He'd worked nonstop at his studies as well, but this was a new level. Amane often reminded him of his little sister, though she always took the extra step like this. His sister would have jumped at this opportunity to play a few rounds of their favorite card game.
“It’ll be fun!”
He flashed a smile, but it had no effect on her severe expression. “I know you’re just trying to comfort me about our verdicts. I refuse to be pitied.”
“Comfort and pity are two very different things. But anyway, it wasn’t either of those things.” He gave an easy shrug “To be honest, I’m just a little bored. It’s weird not having any work to do during the day.” 
Mikoto couldn’t remember the last time in his life he’d had so many hours to himself. A lot of the others were fun to play games with. A few of the sportier prisoners helped him stay active. He enjoyed smoking breaks with the other men. Still, he was left to his own devices for the majority of his time. It was maddening. He’d recently requested some more art supplies, having used up the last batch, but they had yet to come in. Now with the verdict announcement, he wasn’t sure they’d ever arrive.
“That is your own problem. I already have something to do.” Her eyes lingered on the cards for the briefest of moments before returning to the book. “I told you, I’m not in the mood for it.”
Regardless of her hostility, he took a seat beside her. He leaned his arms out on the table. “We don’t have to play the same game.” The last time they'd played as a big group, several prisoners pulling the tables together to fit everyone. Amane had kept very quiet, eyes darting around at the cards as she tried to keep up with the rules. Not many of the others noticed the frustration clear in her face. Mikoto wasn’t the type to let her win out of pity, though he had begun to mutter the rules and strategies to himself a bit more as the night went on… 
“Is there a game you liked to play at home?”
 “No. There was no time for games in the house.” 
“All work and no play… hah… I know what that’s like.” He slumped his cheek onto his arm, lazily shuffling the cards around. He felt bad for bothering the girl if she truly was upset. He thought it was the bad experience that made her reject him, he hadn’t realized there were also family issues attached. Usually he could read people well; maybe he was losing his touch. He seemed to be losing touch with a lot of things, these days.
He readied a game of solitaire. 
“Mikoto?” Amane kept her face turned away. “There was… one game.”
“Yeah?” Mikoto shuffled the cards back together. He slid them over to her. “You should teach me!” 
She didn’t touch them. “You probably already know it.”
“Nah, I only know a few games. I’m better with tarot cards, though those aren’t really the gaming type. Come on, what is it?”
She told him the name of the game, insisting it wouldn’t be worth playing. She kept her attention on the textbook, but her eyes weren’t reading any of it. 
“Ahh, I’ve heard of that one! We start with four cards, right?” He started dealing them out.
“No, five –” she pointed to the deck, urging him to add two more. 
“Right, right.” He laughed lightly. “And the goal is to get pairs, and put them in a pile, uhh, here.”
Amane shook her head. She shifted her body slightly towards him. “You must be thinking of a different game. There’s actually three piles for pairs. One here, one here, and when it’s your opponent’s turn…” 
Her eyes gleamed as she explained the rules. She pointed to various cards, telling him exact moves and point values. “And to win, you need to –” Her expression shifted. “You… you already knew all this.”
“Of course not!” He put on his most convincing smile. 
She deflated. “You’re not a very good liar.”
“Tch, tell that to the warden.”
His shoulders sagged along with her. If Amane could see right through him, why was the rest of Milgram still coming up with stories about what he did and didn’t do? “Well, I might already know the rules, but it’s been a long time since I’ve played. You can still give me a hand. Plus, if you really are in such a bad mood, it’ll be good to take a break from your studies. You should always take a break when things get too overwhelming, yeah?”
She gave him a withering stare.
“Eh? What’s that face for?”
“Alright, let’s play. You can go first.”
“I mean it, what was that look? Aw, come on…”
#milgram#mikoto kayano#amane momose#see - the thing is they both had crimes about 'protecting themself' but both would deny it was for that reason#they both seem to have some family trauma but would never admit it#theyre both used to putting on their best behavior and being 'good' for others but hardly realize that themselves#they are both in denial all the time !!!!!#so i tried to show them getting along for their own perceived reasons -- mikoto thinks he likes her because she reminds him of his sister#and amane thinks she likes him because hes being kind about their verdicts#and while both are right theyre Also drawn to each other because they are very similar at their core#and both have skills with reading people/picking up on cues making it tough to lie to one another#that forced honesty makes for a solid friendship haha!#i also remember a comment from yamanaka that amane would be the worst at card games because shed have trouble with the rules#she seems old enough to handle complex games but she probably never got to play a lot at home ;---; and mikoto probably learns a lot of#types of games (and tarot) so can connect with even more people#i thought long and hard on whether mikoto would let someone else win but he doesnt seem the type (plus amane would notice)#once again i know amane starts speaking in the plural but this comes a bit before that#yaay thank you so much for the request! this was really fun to do - i hope you enjoy!#ive thought a lot about amane and john but less on her and mikoto lol so this was nice :D#drabbles

Please let us know if you solve this mystery!
OK! It’s the end of the year so let me compile everything I was able to come up with (with the help of everyone I dragged into this–you know who you are and thank you and I’m sorry). 
To anyone who’s just seeing this and doesn’t have context, in November, right before the movie Wish came out, I made a longish post questioning who Allison Moore was (which, incidentally, is the first post that comes up when you Google “Allison Moore Disney”).
The reason I was curious about who this random writer is is because she’s credited as one of the co-writers of Wish, Disney’s 100th Anniversary Feature Film BUT she has no obvious experience writing for animation, children, or fantasy when everyone else on the main team has credits on stuff like Frozen and Encanto. I thought it was bizarre that there would be someone so green on a project so big so I went digging. 
Here’s what I learned:
(1) Moore wasn’t originally announced as being attached to the project. Chris Buck, Jennifer Lee, and Fawn Veersunthorn were all mentioned when the project was officially announced in Sept 2022 (for example). Moore was not. And you’d think they’d mention the *co-writer*, right? You don’t start to see her name until a year later in Sept 2023 when the trailer dropped (for example). So it seems like she was brought onto the project later. Of course, this could just be a normal quirk of the industry or something I’m misinterpreting, but I think it’s worth mentioning. 
(2) Moore seems to have a lot more credits in stage writing than she does in screenwriting. I wasn’t able to 100% confirm it until recently (I’ll get to that in a second) but she’s written a bunch of plays and it seems like this is where she has most of her bona fides. 
“Allison is the recipient of two Jerome Fellowships, two McKnight Advancement Grants and the Bush Artist Fellowship.”
That sounds fancy. But it still doesn’t say “Top Choice for Disney Anniversary Movie” to me. That’s not a statement on writing quality. I haven’t read/seen any of her plays. It’s about the subject matter. Look at some of these synopses:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
None of that really screams Disney. Which isn’t to say people can’t have range. George Miller wrote all the Mad Maxes but also Babe and both Happy Feet. But if I was hiring someone for a really big project, I wouldn’t want that project to be their first attempt at expanding into that genre. 
(3) This isn’t actually inherently important but she was on an episode of Nailed it. That’s where this picture comes from:
Tumblr media
She won the first round and the game ended in a three way tie for the first time in the show’s history. 
The only reason this is noteworthy in the larger scale of things is that, until very recently, this was one of only two places online you could see Allison Moore talking. The other is this very short interview on the red carpet during the premiere. 
youtube
There’s nothing in that interview that explains anything. It’s mainly her talking about how it was fun working on the movie and how good the movie is. 
Honestly, good for her for not being Extremely Online, but it really felt like I could get a bit of a handle on everyone else who’d worked on this project in a high profile way but not her. Which is part of why I started down this rabbit hole to begin with. There was nothing to show where she might have had a connection or an interest or anything that would connect the dots. 
For reference, Fawn (who was one of the Directors and story writers) has the kind of resume that I was expecting Moore to have when I initially Googled her:
Tumblr media
Smaller jobs on other kids/animated movies (Hop, The Lorax, Despicable Me 2), some storyboard or art work on other Disney stuff (Frozen, Moana, Zootopia, Ralph), and then a big break (Raya and Wish). Based on my understanding of the industry (and I know a fair bit because it’s one I’m interested in professionally) that’s a very typical track to get to the writing side of animation.  
A couple of people speculated that Moore got onto the project in a mentorship capacity. Now, I’m a Black woman who writes fiction professionally when I’m not on this hellsite (affectionate) with the rest of y’all. That means I have firsthand experience with what mentorship looks like in writing–both official Diversity and Inclusion type mentorship and more organic “Let me take you under my wing” type mentorship. I have *never* seen anyone get a job this high profile at the jump just due to mentorship alone. Going from zero to Disney’s 100th anniversary is kinda insane. This wasn’t some B project or something. It was a Big Deal Project. And this is Disney so they could have hired basically anyone they wanted. So you have to assume this was an active decision someone made and not just a thing that happened for lack of options. But in all my searching, Moore wasn’t mentioned except to just say she wrote the screenplay with Jennifer Lee. It was just the baking show and the Youtube clip.
Until today.
(4) I’m going to preface this by saying this doesn’t actually answer the question in a big AHA! way, but it is the only interview I’ve seen about Wish from Moore besides the red carpet clip.
On December 15th, Moore gave this interview with the San Antonio Current.
I stumbled across it while searching for a different piece of information and eagerly clicked to see what she had to say after three weeks of silence after the movie dropped on November 22.
Here are some highlights:
-In high school she was a theater kid and thought she wanted to pursue acting. 
-I college she did playwriting and eventually she got her MFA from Iowa (which has a weirdly great MFA program btw, and also, this interview is how I confirmed she was the playwright Allison).
-When she started on the theater track at her college, she told them she was a playwright so she could study that too even though she’d never written a play before. So it sounds like Wish isn’t the first time she’s just jumped into a new thing without experience. You have to respect the hustle.
But this is the most important line in the interview because it’s like, an answer and a non-answer all in one. She’s asked, “How did you go from writing plays to writing for TV and film?”
And her answer is, “I had a whole career writing for theater, and then when my son was born, I realized I needed to make more money, so I started pitching for TV. I worked in television for about a decade. In the midst of working in TV, I continued playwriting. That's how I got on the radar at Disney.”
Which kind of sidesteps the most intriguing part of the question? Like, first of all, it’s not 100% clear if she means her playwriting or her TV writing caught Disney’s attention. I’m guessing playwriting, but I could be wrong. Secondly, who is “Disney” in this situation? A Disney recruiter? A Disney director? Did Jennifer Lee see a production of Slasher: A Horrifying comedy while passing through Texas and think, “Her. I want her to be my co-writer on this children’s film.” And what did she do to impress them so much that they right away put her on the the *Anniversary Project*? Like, I know I keep harping on this but I can’t stress enough how big of a deal this is. It’s hard enough to write for just your average sitcom or little movie. To just jump on something this big is baffling. I obviously don’t expect Disney to be justifying their every hiring decision publicly but, usually, when someone is doing something like this, it’s very obvious why they were chosen and, even with this sliver of explanation, it’s still frustratingly opaque. And with the strange post hoc timing of the interview (seriously, doesn’t promotion usually happen PRE movie release?) It almost reads like an interview that exists because someone realized the lack of any online presence was weird. 
(5) When she was a kid, Allison Moore had a crush on Fox Robin Hood. That’s not at all important to the mystery, that’s just information she volunteered during the interview and that I’m now sharing with you. So when you search her name now, the top results are me wondering who she is, her IMDB, and her talking about how she liked Fox Robin Hood's little hat. Which isn't a LOT of information, but it’s more than we had before and that’s something.

I have said this before but me being self proclaimed number 1 Ryoma fan and that being possibly literal-bc even if this bro had fans before me I might’ve simply done the most for him by talking about him so much + being the first to write fics that are in depth studies on his trauma across canons-I gotta say if there’s one other character I rotate a lot that isn’t him it’s probably Kei. (Shocking it’s not Hayato even if I do think about him too- but it’s usually associated with Ryoma bc gays 🗿)
I’m not even exaggerating when I say Kei would be my favorite and only isn’t because she doesn’t exist in many other canons yet my brain rotates the endless possibilities of how to incorporate her. I’ve already written a fic where she’s in shin vs neo verse which worked surprisingly well but I’ve been thinking how universally she could appear in other things. (Whether it be fitting her into a idea of a possible Go team in New or just a new canon completely) I think what I’ve narrow it down to is that she could be like- in Michirus role? Like she’s the supporting female who isn’t a pilot but helps out the real occasionally which I think would align very well especially with the original manga role she has of being Hayato’s assistant. And even if Hayato isn’t grandpa mode yet he still very much is in Saotomes position at that point. Not sure if she’d Hayato’s biological kid to further parallel Saotome and Michiru given well Hayato already adopts the Go team and his wife is irrelevant LOL.
I have no idea if I’ll ever write this specific idea but I’m still- rotating it cause this is such a easy way to get around “picking between Sho or Kei as the 2nd pilot” since both of them can still exist even if one doesn’t get to pilot, idm my supporting females. (Granted there could always be like- plot line where Sho gets hurt so Kei is temporary pilot but I can’t remember if Getter ever really did this since “once your hurt your ass is basically replaced” lol)
#meg text#getter robo#au rambles#I think I rotate her so much because my friend and I talked about her relationship with Go#like it makes so much sense if among all the universal constants in getter one would be Kei is important to Go#granted the shift from “she’s my love interest” to “she’s my sister” will never not be so fucking drastic 💀#also I get why in SVN she wasn’t there for time and idk where you’d fit her but man Kei deserves a more significant role#hence why I imagine her in Michirus role because even if she also had it ROUGH some iterations knew how to use her#also Kei already has a established relationship w gai mainly thanks to arma so- Sho deserves to speak with her too#they can be besties who rat out on the boys but still have high respect for hayato#granted I know the real reason why this hasn’t happened is because Kei is a minor character and “no proper go manga adaptation??”#at this point I don’t expect a anime but it be nice if Go team got used in a spin off bc we had a good run of OG team#I’d also want them to use arc in spin offs too but I understand their more- finicky characters to use#given their main thing is their actual descendants of existing characters and one of them is our first boyo (ryoma)#if you took out the bloodline stuff it make them feel redundant because you can just use go team for that#also honestly despite how mixed arc anime is for everyone they really don’t need to be in anything after this#other then wishing they get something with nicer animation but that’s what’s SRW is for#(also back to Kei I’m a bit upset she did not get a cameo in arc even if she’d probably look horrendous it was just salt in the wound)#(GAI LITERALLY SAIDS WHEN HE DIES IN THE MANGA HE SEES KEI WHERE WAS SHE WITH ALL THE GETTER GHOSTS?)#actually Michiru wasn’t there too so it was probably just woman erasure /hj
