Imagine being modified and trained since birth to be the perfect servant to the infallible god-computer that your entire society revolves around to the point that you donât believe in free will anymore. In fact free will as a concept is counter to your very purpose, which is to act as a living repository for unchanging information about the future. And then your perfect god shoves that highly engineered overclocked brain into the body of a heroin addict. And itâs not part of some grand plan it just destroyed your life by accident. Not even by accident, it doesnât have the capability to commit âaccidentsâ because itâs not sentient. It just miscalculated. Itâs just a computer.
So there is this show called travelers (2016)-
#RAAAAAAAAAAAA this show makes me actually insane. and no one knows about her#like his whole arc revolves around that one turning point. thatâs when he starts to question the actual human cost of all this#rlly love the suble worldbuilding in this show in terms of religion and never showing the future they came from I think itâs genuinely so#skillful and also just awesome. and historians as a concept are CRAZY and Philip in particular is CRAZY#yeah I know I latched on to the most predictable Guy but to b fair they r all very special to me#but like addict and the whole historian thing come ONNNNN I have to#warlock wartalks#travelers#travelers Netflix

Hello!! What are your thoughts on Echoes of Wisdom? Do you have any theories? Anything you'd like to see?
- hero-of-the-wolf
Zora princess engagement
The Legend of Zelda has a history of Zora princesses falling in love with/being engaged to the Hero of Hyrule/Link
So therefore, in Echoes of Wisdom, I would like for:
A- Zelda to run across a Zora princess engaged to Link and tell her hands off, he's kidnapped
B- Zelda to be engaged to a Zora princess and tell her no, Link is kidnapped
C- With both the river and ocean Zora being in Eow, BOTH Link and Zelda were engaged to Zora royalty, who are pissed that they now have to marry each other instead since Link is kidnapped
This is half joking but tbh I really would love for the Zora engagement trope to show up again
I mean the entirety of Eow is set up for Zelink. He chases her. She chases him. It's the idea that they're not whole without the other- if Link is taken so is Zelda. (see what I did there. Taken. Like kidnapped but also taken like in love with someone already. So they're both taken- ok moving on)
So yeah the zelink is so strong in this game from the four minute trailer(s), I really wanna see a Zora engagement because of the potential for *drama*
#I chose not to edit this from draft even though the new trailer came out#also a Zelda + Zora princess ship would be so cute#like miphlink was so awesome even if zelink stayed alive (uhh literally)#Princess Zelda and Princess Zora like two adorable princesses and their adopted pot breaking gremlin#even if I'm always for zelink I want that ship ok#blueskittlesart mentioned a ship ish like this a bit ago I think and it latched on and hasn't left my brain#loz eow#eow#echoes of wisdom#Zelda#asks#lol#Link is taken#so so is Zelda#they're both taken#see what I did there#zelink#ugh puns#I hope this made sense and#I hope everything I said was ok and not accidentally offensive if so let me know <33#a wolf friend#sorry it took me so long to respond!!

Why Eugene never has sleepovers with Varian anymore:
Varian at 10 pm: wonât let Eugene sleep because he has to finish this blueprint and no Eugene heâs not going to do it in his lab he already brought it here also he has to write a list of formulas heâs trying tomorrow also did you see Lanceâs new hat itâs so ugly right?
Varian at 12 am: keeping Eugene awake by âreading too loudlyâ
Varian at 1 am: sleep kicking Eugene in the ribs. Sleep talking about Pythagorean Theorems.
Varian at 2 am: âEugene omg wake up I just had an idea on a machine that can fold socks more effectivelyâ
Varian at 3 am: getting a post-midnight snack consisting of seven apples, a meatloaf sandwich, and a pint of ice cream
Varian at 4 am: âI just had the weirdest dream about Ruddiger becoming king of Spain after a chicken nugget eating contestâ
Varian at 5 am: somehow stole all the blankets and pillows. Bit Eugene for trying to take them back. Heâs sleep cranky.
Varian at 6 am: sleep talking about apple juice being a superior beverage to wine
Varian at 7 am: Dead because Eugene smothered him with a pillow
#Varian wakes him up constantly like a rambunctious toddler#Var: Eugene I canât sleep#Gene: well I can#Var: âŚbitch#Also theyâre both blanket hogs and total cuddlers. One of them wakes up to the other latched onto them like a koala#Itâs worse when Rapunzelâs there that tiny alchemist is hers and Eugeneâs teddy bear#Itâs like a constant little brother sandwich he canât escape#Platonic bed sharing and cuddling my beloved#tts#tangled the series#rapunzel's tangled adventure#varian#eugene fitzherbert#team awesome

đ Alternate Universe- Magic, Mutual Pining, Demonic possession, Furbies
Oh dear...
Alex is attending one of the most prestigious magic academies in the country, on the orders of his parents of course. Even though Laiz Fier Academy reviles even the name of the only type of magic he's ever been good at. His parents swore he'd find another specialty here, and he'd let himself believe them, like the idiot he is. He's scraping by in classes. Barely. At least he's managed to make a couple of friends and figure out how to sneak into the library stacks to find books that will actually help him hone his skills.
However, Alex realizes now there's a reason why it's not recommended to do your first summoning alone. Because, while he does manage to summon a demon, it doesn't exactly end up in the silvery urn he'd laid in the center of the pentagram.
So now he has a talking, demonic Furby to hide. One that, despite its too-wide eyes and disconcertingly smooth voice, Alex thinks he might be developing feelings for.
(Fake fic ask game!)
#legolas tag#legolas ask#julie and the phantoms#willex#so okay in my head#Alex is super good at a specific branch of magic#which usually would be awesome since he was born into a high power magical family#unfortunately the thing he's good at is demonic magic#which is.... unpopular to put it lightly#his parents send him away to school in the hopes that he'll latch onto something else with so many options to explore#that doesn't happen#he meets Luke and Julie (both music magic) and Reggie (animal magic)#and they all become friends#and they all figure out how to sneak into the stacks together#where Alex finds all the hidden away books on demonic magic#cause it's not actually Evil like people think#just... darker in source than most#Alex may fall down a bit of a spiral about his abilities and worth though#and ends up attempting to summon an actual demon to help him learn magic#but... well he must have messed up the binding part of the ceremony?#Cause he does get a demonic magic coach#but said coach (Willie) goes into the Furby Reggie got him as a prank birthday present#and well... Alex knows he should figure out how to undo it and send Willie back to Hell or wherever#but then he has to rush to hide him first before he gets caught#and then they end up chatting a fair amount over the next few days#because Alex is a world class insomniac and Willie just doesn't sleep#but Alex is kept too busy with classes and stuff to go back to the library to find the stuff to sort out the mess he's made#and if Willie knows how to do it he isn't sharing#(he totally knows but it's his first time in the human world in ages and Alex is nice and kinda cute tbh so...)#and...they become friends? And also develop massive crushes on each other?

I haven't made a fall out boy post in SO LONG but I'm talking about this. Tell me if I'm just insane but this is like. Important to him. The confidence it would take for him to dress like this and POST it. The cut of the pants, tucking them into the PLATEFORM LATEX BOOTS. The gold jewlery. The cut and collar of the mesh shirt. THE KNITTED/CROCHETED (?) ROSES??? the way he didn't even pull his shirt from under his collar before taking photos. The proud little smile. The confidence of dressing different. Idk everything about this fit feels deliberate and im. I pray it's a stage outfit for fob8
#pete wentz#fall out boy#fob8#-andrew#ive drank to much coffee and im feeling transgender#twll me if im reading to much into a fit check#also the watch on the wall is simultaneously hilarious and awesome#im proud of him for posting this idk#the gays are winning with this one#maybe im just latching onto smth to talk autisticly about but i thunk im at last half right#ghost dont look at this post

Iâm still pretty proud of my wesper fic, even though itâs relatively short compared to everything else Iâve written, and even though it is MCD. The words were wording when I was writing that one, and i like it a lot :)
(⌠Iâd also try to promote my silly little Kuwei [+Wywei] fic that has consumed nearly all of my thoughts for the last four months, but a- itâs about Kuwei and b- Iâve only published one chapter and itâs 10 000 words. The rest of the fic has 45000 words. My hand slipped a bit. Itâs not finished yet. Iâve written it for two people and two people only, one of which is me and the other being that one lovely soul who left kudos on it so far :,) But Iâve been having sooo much fun writing it. Honestly you could probably read it without ever being in the SoC fandom, itâs about a character that had like five lines in the whole duology and they were mentioned in one sentence in a different book.)
omg itâs FAN FICTION FRIDAY
Reblog and promote a fic of yours <3
#sorry for rambling there :)#also for promoting two fics#Iâve just been stuck writing one looooong fic about a character that only like 600 people even know by name#(and of those 600 only 150 wouldnât try to either strangle him on the spot or very much dislike him)#my brain just latched onto him and I got writing and the âlittle fic thatâs probably going to be 20k ish words long at mostâ#turned into a âthis is probably going to have 60k words if I control myselfâ fi#c#i got to take the silly little arsonist give him trauma of my own devising and push him around without any anxiety because no one will read#that mess anyways#also I got to make him absolutely simp over my cc in the gayest and most queer platonic way possible#no one told me that that could be so much fun! I can now not only torture my favorite little autisticINFP artist with severe daddy issues#to show affection. I can just write about how awesome he is instead! what a revolutionary thought!#right thanks for litsrening to my blabbering :D

Ignooooore. This Iâm just rambling under the cut
as much of a Weird Gay Guy as i tend to be. tbh in a lot of art the characters Iâve connected with the most, without fail, have been women. this even goes for the stuff i make!!!!! ive talked about tons about how ceciliaâs my fave out of all the characters ive written, of course partly cause sheâs one big fat excuse to shove tons of blood brothers references into entity affairs, but mostly cause like. in a way i cant describe too well, even though i donât think sheâs a âliterally me insertâ (jeong takes that spot on accident lol, i suppose cause heâs the one ive had the longest that ive put a lot of my interests and issues into him without really realizing), i just. connect with how ive written her a lot? would explain but 1, thatâd get too personal way too fast, and I donât intend this to be a vent post, and 2, im trying to be a biiiit more secretive about it even though my little webcomic passion project will vv likely not come to fruition. this was supposed to be a quick post about how the women in things appeal more to me and i honestly tend to be a lot more fond of them than the male characters, despite yknow. being an aforementioned gay guy. and how i truly dont get how some guys just donât care at All about the women in art like not even one bit, even disregarding my personal biases. but here ramble post
#mayhaps its related to me being a trans guy too? but i dont know#just me personal posting a bit. feel free 2 ignore#also tbh. applies to how I feel about a lot of women in music and stuff#itâs unfortunate that a lot of the genres I like are. and forgive the crude phrasing#chock full of kind of mid guys in bands#so I just immediately latch onto most of any woman in those genres and just listen to their stuff in total awe of how tubular and awesome#and cool looking they are and stuff#of course I have illnesses about bands that have only guys in it but still#also unrelated but I just wanted to mention. I have like a Heavy preference towards higher register voices in post-hardcore/metalcore stuff#like super heavy. that or just with a lot of range#reason why I like tbb reason why I like gj reason why I like circa survive + saosin reason why I like chiodos#thereâs a reason for those lol#but Iâm getting off topic. you guys should listen to sysc you guys should listen to pretty girls make graves (band)#you guys should listen to shoplifting you guys should listen to gossip#etc etc blah blah blah#sorry Iâm rambling#evil neighing compilation

When the dust settled of what Wade dubbed their 'super awesome Madonna world saving sacrifice', (don't fucking ask, god knows Logan doesn't) the TVA had offered to hire their services to round up variants that incorrectly stumbled into their universe. With a fucking paycheck.
Logan had been trying (and failing) to find work for a few weeks by that point. It was sort of difficult when he had no tangible work history in this universe, with no references that could actually be called. Or a social security number. Or a bank account. Or any form of ID, really.
Wade had already quickly agreed on both their behalfs, and Logan got the feeling he just needed a valid excuse to put the suit on now and again between his monotonous shifts at the dealership.
The only catch was that they had to undergo a physical and mental health assessment before hand.
He'd passes the physical with flying colours. The mental one... not so much. They'd still 'hired' him, but when he was given a folder with information regarding each fucking problem he had mentally, they'd heavy implied he needed to work on it to keep his job.
His plan had been to chuck it in the trash, or burn the fucker, but it'd slipped his mind to do either by the time they'd gotten home because Wade started trying to cook pasta for dinner and almost set the entire place on fire, somehow.
He left it on the side and Wade, being the nosy fucker he was, had of course read it.
There was a lot of shit Logan expected to find in there - depression, ptsd, alcoholism... stuff he didn't exactly need some fancy fucking doctor to tell him he had. A six year old could probably glance his way and identify that he needed antidepressants.
The one that he'd thought was odd, and the one Wade seemed to latch onto, was 'touch deprivation'.
The thing was, Wade was a shithead. He practically made it his goal whenever he walked into a room to be the most annoying person in that room. Usually successfully.
But he was also... good. He was a good person, despite what people might say to him. He wanted to help him, which was... sweet, he supposed.
A lot of the stuff in there was a bit tricky to 'fix', probably requiring some sort of medication or therapy (Logan point blank refused both) but a couple of things, Wade seemed hellbent on helping him with.
There was never any liquor in their apartment, for starters. Whenever Logan would buy any, it would go mysteriously missing the following day. Al didn't even know it had been there, and Wade was a shit liar with his innocent little shrug when Logan would ask.
Ar first it pissed him off but, well, Wade was just trying to help, and he was - helping, that is. Logan was actually sober more than he was drunk these days - which hasn't happened in at least a decade.
The 'touch deprivation' was another Wade seemed hell bent on helping with.
The merc was already tactile with his friends. Logan had seen him drape an arm over their shoulder, side hug them as they walked somewhere, hug them goodbye.
It seemed he dialled it up to a thousand with him, though.
If they both happened to be in the kitchen, Wade was brushing up against him every few seconds, murmuring apologies as he all but pressed against him under the guise of trying to move somewhere or reach something.
When they were out, Wade would let their arms and hands brush up against each other. If Logan was pushing the cart in the store, Wade would 'accidently' rest his hand over his on the handle bar.
It was little stuff, things that somebody on the outside of them would probably not even notice, until one night on the couch.
They'd been running around for the TVA all day, and Logan was irritable and exhausted. He felt about ready to claw his own skin off out of general frustration, built up from a day of shitty, all over the place missions.
They'd both showered and were sat watching gossip girl, but he just couldn't settle. He was switching position every few seconds, growling under his breath every time his discomfort returned, and he must've been annoying the fuck out of Wade, he thought.
After maybe an hour - and Logan wasn't going to cry, but he damn sure felt like it, Wade sighed next to him.
Logan immediately found himself growing defensive, ready to argue that it wasn't his fucking fault his skin felt all tingly and wrong, and that the couch was too soft, or that there was a dumb ache in his chest that he didn't understand.
Wade didn't start arguing though. Instead, he lifted an arm in invitation.
Logan stared at him like he'd lost his fucking mind. How many hits to the head had he taken today? Could his regenerative abilities repair concussion or should Logan be taking him to a fucking hospital?
"Come on, peanut. Let me help," Wade said, which only confused Logan more. He didn't even know what was wrong- so how did Wade reckon he could fix it?
"I'm fine," he gritted out with a glare, trying to keep still to prove his point but fuck, his skin felt painful and tight.
"Alright," Wade held his hands up in surrender before letting them drop, turning back to the TV.
Logan watched him for a few seconds, then scoffed loudly, moving to lay a bit more on the arm rest.
It felt like it was digging into his ribs. He scratched his arm, barely resisting the urge to unsheathe his claws. He adjusted to lie back into the cushions. He sunk in too much, and the soft cushions felt like sandpaper against his on-fire skin.
Something dangerously close to a whimper escaped his lips, and he had to blink back a dampness building in his vision. Fuck, what the hell was wrong with him?
"Lo," he thought Wade had went back to focusing on the show, but apparently he'd been wrong, because the merc was staring at him with soft, concerned eyes, and Logan wanted to scream.
"What?" Logan snipped, but it was missing any of the intended edge.
"Let me try and help. No one else is here, it's just us - and if you don't like it, you can just sit back up," Wade lifted an arm again, an invitation for Logan to curl up against him and... it pissed him off how nice that sounded.
He hesitated for a few moments longer. Too long, really, and he expected Wade to rescind the offer entirely out of impatience.
He didn't. He just adjusted himself to be more sprawled back against the couch cushions, parting his legs a little and keeping his arm raised.
Logan made a defeated noise in the back of his throat, crawling closer. He hovered awkwardly between Wade's legs, unsure how to proceed, and Wade just gently pushed on his shoulders to get him to lie down, his head and upper torso covering Wade's chest and lower body.
He worried he'd be too heavy for Wade, but the younger man didn't seem bothered whatsoever. Perks of him being built pretty indestructible, probably.
"Good boy," he praised quietly, running his hand through Logan's hair. Essentially petting him, really, and Logan couldn't explain it but it's like everything in his head and everything with his body quietened down. He could breathe again, and he found himself going boneless against the younger man.
He wrapped his arms around Wade's torso, nuzzling into his stomach with a content sound, his eyes slipping shut as Wade continued to play with his hair, stroke over his back, brush fingers over his neck, calming the burn of his skin wherever they went.
It became a regular occurrence after that. Every night when they settled down to watch TV, Wade would wordlessly lift an arm, and Logan would wordlessly crawl over to lie against him. Sometimes they reversed it, because Logan discovered that having Wade lying atop of him felt incredibly grounding. Usually though, he'd be the one pressed up against the merc, tangled around him like some sort of extra clingy and extra heavy octopus. Wade would always 'pet' him, mumbling occasional praise as he ran gentle fingers over his body, scratching his scalp or dragging blunt nails over his back and arms.
Logan didn't realise how desperately he needed the touch until it was gone.
They'd been arguing all day. It was all stupid shit, really - moreso driven by the fact they hadn't had a mission in a while. Wade grew antsy if he'd been out of commission too long, and if he had to work so many back to back shifts at the dealership. And Logan grew irritable being stuck in the tiny apartment with no real purpose all day.
He'd went to the store and bought himself a bottle of whiskey to occupy his mind, to stop the thoughts of his old found family dead on the ground from a fight he could've aided in leaking into his brain.
Wade, as usual, had poured it down the drain. Something that, ordinarily, Logan would've been pissed about but let drop fairly quickly- because despite what others may think of him, his sort of almost sobriety did matter to him. It mattered to Wade too, which is why Logan never usually got all that mad at him for pouring perfectly good alcohol down the drain.
Maybe it was because of the irritation already brewing within them both, or maybe it was because Logan had really been relying on loosing himself in that bottle, but the argument quickly spiralled out of hand.
"You can't just pour out my shit, Wade!" Logan yelled, gesturing to the now empty bottle.
"Yeah, I'm being totally unreasonable. Next time I'll let you drink yourself into a stupor, pinky fucking promise!" Wade yelled back.
"You had no fucking right!"
"Do you think I want to, huh?! You think I just love having to control your alcohol intake like your some sixteen year old girl who discovered fucking smirnoff for the first time?!"
"Then fucking don't! I don't need you to do anything for me! I managed by myself for two hundred fucking years, I don't fucking need you, and I certainly don't fucking want you!" Logan shouted, probably loud enough that they'd get complaints from the neighbours later.
The ensuing silence felt even louder.
He regretted it immediately. He didn't mean it, and he knew that as soon as he'd said it. Because yeah, he might be able to survive by himself- but that's all it ever was. Fucking survival.
Wade showed him how to live.
He was still too angry to take any of it back, though. To admit he'd crossed a line.
"Fine. Do whatever the fuck you want, Logan," and Wade left, their bedroom door slamming echoing throughout the whole apartment.
They avoided each other for days. Even when they were together, there was silence. Wade didn't crack any of his usual jokes. They ate in silence. They stopped waking up tangled up in one another, and Wade no longer opened an arm in invitation when they were sharing the couch alone. No hand over hand on the cart, or arms brushing in the street, none of it.
Logan didn't give a shit, obviously. He bought ridiculous amounts of alcohol and drank until he passed out on their kitchen floor, waking up a few hours later cover in his own vomit and Mary Puppins peering at him curiously. Even the fucking dog was judging him.
It was the week mark, and Logan actually hadn't had a drink that day. Only because he had ran dry on money to buy any, and he'd considered stealing some but thought it wouldn't be worth losing his job with the TVA. He did maybe try drinking some of Al's nail polish remover, but he was halfway into the bottle when he realised she used the type that was fucking alcohol free.
Not his proudest moment.
His body already felt weary from the slight pulls of withdrawal when he sat on his end of the couch, purposefully not glancing Wade's way. It was very much like how he'd felt when he stopped drinking so much in this universe. The tiredness that ate down to his bones, the cravings niggling his brain constantly.
He already didn't feel great - but then the itching started, and it got intense fast.
His efforts to keep still were futile. It was so much worse than the first time around, and worse still because he knew what was missing, and it was his own fault he didn't have it anymore.
What the fuck was he supposed to say? 'Hey I know I said I didn't need you and to stop treating me like a child, but if you don't cuddle me right now I might fucking explode'.
No. He couldn't do that.
Everything hurt. He couldn't draw a breath in properly, and even the feeling of his clothes against his skin felt fucking wrong. Like it was too... light.
The final straw was when one of those tears welling in his eyes actually escaped, rolling down his cheek. He wiped at it harshly, and got up without another word, heading straight for their bedroom.
He couldn't let Wade see him like this. He was fucking pathetic.
He stripped down to his boxers, needing the stupid fabric to stop touching him, and got onto their bed. The covers felt scratchy, and he kicked them away with a growl. In the process of his aggressive attempts to find a comfortable position, he got a whiff of a familiar scent.
Wades. Wade's pillow smelt exactly like him.
It was the first time since the itching feeling started that he felt some sembelence of calm. His skin still burnt, but he could sort of zone it out for a moment.
He tried to turn away. To ignore it, because it was fucking stupid, but he didn't last long before he was grabbing the pillow and pulling it towards him, pressing his face into it and inhaling deeply.
He didn't remember when he started crying, but the pillow was soon wet with tears. He was so fucking stupid. Utterly fucking ridiculous - a grown ass man crying into a pillow because, what? He didn't have someone playing with his fucking hair?
He was so, so beyond furious at himself. At how ridiculous he was, and at how massively he'd managed to mess everything up.
Wade was good. He was bad. He should've known from the get go that he'd fuck it all up.
"Jesus, Logan," the soft gasp startled him from his thoughts abruptly, and he panicked. He sat up, shoving the pillow aside despite the fact Wade had seen exactly what he was doing.
Maybe he'd get lucky and one of those stupid ring portals would appear beneath him and send him elsewhere. Anywhere, really- he didn't care, it would be better than this.
"What?"
The biting tone wasn't all that effective when he had to scrub at his eyes to get rid of the tears.
It didn't even work anyway. They wouldn't fucking stop now that he'd let them start, and the fact Wade had caught him sitting there breathing in dredges of his scent while fucking crying - maybe part of it was just the utter humiliation of it all.
"Oh, Lo. It's alright," Wade murmured, and then he was shutting the door and crossing the room, climbing onto the bed.
He reached out, but seemed to hesitate, his arm dropping, "can I touch you?"
Logan only cried harder, his body practically vibrating, as if it was attempting to force him to move closer even unconsciously. He gave a jerky nod, "please."
Wade was on him in an instant, pulling him in so tight that to anyone without super strength and regenerating abilities, it would probably hurt.
Logan didn't care. He needed more. The fire was tamed, but it was still there, the embers tickling his body and threatening to overtake him again.
His hands tugged at the hem of Wade's shirt, seeking permission. He needed the stupid itchy fabric gone. The press of it was too soft and gentle. He needed skin. Needed something solid. Needed Wade, now.
"Shirt off?" Wade clarified, and Logan nodded where his head was tucked into the crook of his neck.
He hadn't accounted for the fact that they'd have to break their embrace to do it.
Wade tried to pull back, but Logan gasped, digging his nails in and keeping himself plastered to Wade's front.
"I'm not going anywhere, peanut. I'm just taking my clothes off, alright? I'm not leaving you, I swear," Wade put both hands on the side of his face, lifting it so he could look into his eyes as he spoke, the pad of his thumb wiping away his tears.
Logan reluctantly let go, shivering violently when everything hit him again.
Wade made quick work of stripping off his shirt and sweatpants, leaving him in his briefs. He lay down, and opened his arm.
Logan could've started crying again in relief. He all but dove at the younger man, burying his face away in his chest, wrapping his arms tight around him. Wade held him tightly, pulling him in enough so their bodies were pressed together solidly.
He lifted a hand and started stroking his hair, shushing him softly and rocking their bodies a little.
"I'm sorry. 'M so sorry, I didn't mean any of it," and ordinarily he might very been reluctant to say it, never being all that good at swallowing down his perceived pride, but it felt too important not to say.
Because despite everything, Wade had came in here to check on him. He could've just continued to watch TV. He could've so easily made fun of him for what he'd walked into, mocking how fucking stupid he was, and walked straight back out. He could've and should've done all of that, but he didn't. Because he was Wade, and he was good, and Logan would never fully understand what positivity he put out into the world to earn him.
"I know, me neither. Just calm down, Lo. It's all good now, I've got you," Wade assured, squeezing tighter, and Logan made a small satisfied sound, nosing at Wade's chest and then his neck, breathing in the familiar scent of his shampoo and body wash.
The itching had ceased, but he still felt like he needed more, like it wasn't enough until he sliced Wade open and crawled inside of him, curled up contently next to his beating heart, burrowed beneathe his ribs.
He didn't verbalise it, but Wade seemed to understand, as usual.
"On your back, baby," he directed, and Logan did so without complaint.
Wade moved with him, lying on top of him completely, tangling their legs together, a solid weight pressing him into the mattress, and ironically enough he finally felt like he could breathe again.
"Good boy. You're so good, peanut," Wade hummed, running fingers over his shoulders. Logan disagreed, but he was too out of it to really argue. He felt like he was floating on a cloud, hovering out of his body.
He didn't realise he was biting until Wade let out a soft sound above him, and the metallic taste filled his mouth.
"Fuck, sorry I... I didn't realise," he tried to move away, eyes wide, but Wade shushed him again, his expression something fond.
"Does it help?" Wade asked simply, and Logan swallowed. It did. It was... it was like Wade felt closer to him, somehow.
"Mhm, but don't wanna hurt you," he felt almost drunk, his words slurring a little as he watched the small wound on Wade's shoulder close up.
"I'll heal, angel. Have at it," Wade tilted his head in invitation, and Logan nosed at his neck for a moment, still not entirely sure, before sticking out the tip of his tongue and licking experimentally. He moaned softly at the taste of Wade on his taste buds, pressing his nose against his adams apple simultaneously to breathe him in. He let his teeth sink in lightly, nibbling at the sensitive area.
Wade groaned atop of him, and Logan went to pull away, but the merc held him there by the back of his head, "keep going. Please, Lo," and he sounded breathless and needy, and it made Logan growl with animalistic possessiveness, biting down a bit harder, blood running to the surface, which he quickly lapped up.
He couldn't really tell who connected lips first, he was fairly certain it was him, but it didn't really matter ultimately. They were high off one another, Wade grinding down while Logan rutted up, both of them rock solid against each other.
Logan bit at his lip, drawing blood before licking it away filthily, dragging his nails all over every surface of Wade he could reach. He needed him. He needed him so fucking badly. He wanted to worship every square inch of him then crawl beneathe his skin and make a home there.
He reached between them, wrapping a hand around Wade's length, but the merc caught his wrist, using the other hand to grip Logan's jaw and direct their eyes to meet.
"Logan," he knew vaguely that Wade wanted him to listen, but he was too busy whining beneathe him, pushing his hips up trying to chase the friction that every cell in his body was fucking screaming for. He didn't want to stop, and he didn't get why Wade was making him.
"Logan. Hey, eyes on me, peanut," Wade ordered firmly, and Logan finally reluctantly ceased his movements, blinking Wade's face into his focus.
"How are you feeling?"
And Logan huffed, glaring a little, because did Wade really stop what they were doing just to ask him that? Seriously?
"I'm fine," he replied shortly, trying to go for Wade's mouth again, but found himself held down by a hand against his bare chest.
"I'm going to need a bit more than that before we go any further, peanut. Especially with how upset you were just twenty minutes ago," Wade was stroking a hand through his hair again, and the calmness that filled his body from the touch was enough to get him to settle down just a little, sinking into the bed and giving up his valiant mission of jerking off against Wade's solid form.
"I just need to know you're okay, and I need to know you're doing this because you want it, not just because you feel like you need it."
"I want it. I want it a lot," he said after a few seconds, looking up at Wade. It was the most vulnerable he'd felt in forever, and all he could do was hope that Wade took that and handled it carefully.
Wade smiled, kissing Logan firmly. Logan gasped into it, letting his mouth open wider, inviting Wade in to explore as he pleased.
Wade pulled away suddenly, and Logan very almost ripped his head off of his shoulders in order to keep him close.
"Easy, boy. I'm just trying to sort you out," Wade explained with fingers teasing the waistband of his boxers.
It was ridiculous, but he wasn't certain he could handle the younger man's body weight leaving him. That press, being able to feel every inch of Wade against him, it was the only thing keeping him tethered in reality. He couldn't handle his skin setting alight again. Especially not when he had went a whole week without Wade's touch.
"Baby," and something about Wade calling him that made him want to crumble. Want to get onto his knees and suck him off and worship him like he deserved, because he must be a God- that's the only explanation as to how he can breathe a single word and make Logan unravel. Because he'd never been that. He'd never been anyone's 'baby', because no one ever bothered to be tender with him before. He was The Wolverine. He was supposed to be rough, and rugged, and maybe 'handsome', but never 'pretty'. Never 'baby'.
And yet everytime it rolled off of Wade's tongue it was so genuine, so sweet and caring, and it was almost like a permission slip for Logan to let the gruff exterior drop just for a minute, and be somebody's 'baby'. Be Wade's 'baby'.
"You don't want me to leave, peanut? You want me to stay on top of you?" Wade asked, because he was genuinely bothered by the idea of Logan not being one million percent happy with this experience.
Logan found his mouth and kissed him again. This one was gentle. So, so gentle. No blood or biting or back and forth - just a barely there press of lips. A thank you, sealed away in a kiss.
"Please," he answered quietly, speaking it into Wade's parted mouth, "I just... I need to know you're here, I think. I need to..." he trailed off, unsure how to finish.
How could he verbalise that he needed to feel him so completely, that he needed Wade everywhere all over him, all at once? How could he say that without scaring him away entirely?
Maybe that would be for the best, in all honesty. He couldn't be so damn reliant - not when Wade had a fucking life to live. A future to build. Why should he put that on hold just because Logan crash landed into his reality?
He should be going on dates with Vanessa right now, trying to fix things. Or hanging out with his actual friends. He should be doing a lot of things- but trying to fix something in Logan that had been irreparably smashed to pieces years ago was not one of them.
"I need- we need to stop," he spoke, even as every cell in his body was screaming no, fuck no.
Wade frowned, the hand that had been tracing over his arms pausing.
"What?"
"I can't. I can't do it. I can't."
He couldn't drag Wade down into the fucking abyss. He couldn't force him to live out his eternity like this.
"Okay, that's okay peanut. You want me to get off of you?" Wade offered, and Logan nodded.
It killed him, but he nodded.
Wade lifted up, manoeuvring onto the edge of the bed.
Logan wanted to throw up, that cold and empty feeling returning to his gut, spreading through all of his limbs like poison. 'This is good, Wade is good, you are bad' was like a mantra in his head, growing louder and louder until all Logan could hear was the rapid thumping of his own heart and those words, screamed, being etched across his organs like a warning.
Maybe the repeated frying of his brain was finally catching up to him.
"Logan, what's wrong?"
Logan wanted to tear his own fucking skin off.
"Did- was it too much? Did I go too far? I'm sorry, I just thought it's what you wanted," Wade was apologising, he was fucking apologising, and Logan was barely holding it the fuck together, his chest tightening.
"No. No, it's... I need to be alone," he choked on the last word, as if his body was physically fighting him from saying it.
Wade was looking at him with a small frown, reaching out for his hand resting on the mattress which Logan quickly moved away.
He'd never forget the look of hurt etched onto the others face. He might very well of tried to hide it, but he caught the flash of upset that filled Wade's features so intensely for just a moment.
"Of course. Yeah, sorry. I'll just," Wade gestured vaguely to the bedroom door before all but racing out of the room, the door clicking shut behind him.
Logan sighed shakily, curling up on himself and trying in vain to stop the tears coming.

Don't You Want Me (Baby?) Pt 2
âââ
Steve and Eddie are either hooking up or dating - and are about as bad at keeping a secret as they are dealing with their feelings. (Dustin POV)
âââ
Dustin was criss cross on the couch the next day eating a rainbow of cereal and watching Saturday morning cartoons when he saw it.
âWhatâs that?â He said, taking the morning paper right out from under his motherâs nose.
âDusty!â She chided, sitting up in her recliner. âI was just getting to my horoscope.â
âSorry, mom.â He said distantly. He read over the ad again and his grew ear to ear. This was too perfect!
Eddieâs been too busy with his dumb girlfriend to hang out with them in forever.
Well, there might be no better way to reel him back in than a Creature from The Black Lagoon re-run. Ok, it was at the drive through a town over - but Eddie literally canât say no! He loved classic horror (even after everything theyâd seen in living color.)
Dustin kept the outer page and returned the rest.
âThanks mom! Also, Cancerâs should keep an eye out for big opportunities on the horizon.â He yelled back over his shoulder as he ran over to the phone. He paused as listen to the line ring. âAnd let their kid go out with his friends tonight!â
âNow where does it say thatâŚâ His mom tutted, far too used to Dustinâs Dustining to be surprised by almost anything.
âCome onâŚâ Dustin mumbled impatiently on the fifth or sixth ring.
âWayne here.â
âHi Mr. Munson! Itâs Dustin Henderson, is Eddie there?â
âEds, itâs for you.â Kind of surprising his uncle was up at this hour. Usually he was sleeping in to prepare for the next nightshift. Maybe he got the rare weekend off. Good for him.
âYouâve reached The Dark Lord Baelzabubâs office, can I take a message?â
âEddie! Right! So!â Dustin ignored him, already shooting off at 60 miles an hour. âThereâs this thing going on, itâs tonight - and I swear, your gonna be off the wall when you hear about it cause they never have good stuff on out here - â Eddie cut him off.
âWoah, there. You said tonight? Cause no can do compadre.â
âBut!â Dustin sputtered. âYouâre not gonna wanna miss this Eddie Iâm telling you.â
âSorry, little man. Can we do uh, I could do tomorrow. Wait actually shit, not tomorrow.â
âNo, we canât - itâs only happening tonight, if youâll just let me tell you what it - â
âSorry, man. Iâm not gonna make it. Iâm uh, Iâm -â he sighed.
âBusy.â That fucking JudasâŚ..
âYeeeeah. Look Henderson, Iâm sorry. Iâll catch the next one ok, man. I promise.â
âRight. Yeah.â Dustin wasnât pouting. He wasnât.
They didnât stay on the line long. He sighed and glared at the phone. Fuck it, fuck Eddie - they were still going. And then next week at Hellfire when Eddie asked about theyâre weekend theyâll tell him how awesome it was and how much fun they had without him. Then heâll regret blowing Dustin off.
He picked up the phone again.
âHarrington residence.â Oh right, Steveâs alleged parents were in town.
âUh, hi. Itâs Dustin Henderson. Can I talk to Steve. Please.â He said, only just managing to remember his manners.
âSteve, honey, your little friends on the phone.â Mrs. Harrington said.
âHey man, whatâs up. Wait, Iâm gonna stop you right now. No I canât give you a ride.â
Dustin sputtered indignantly.
âWhat you just assume I only call you when I need a favor.â
âOh, Iâm sorry. You just called to say hi.â Steve corrected himself. Then he paused, clearly waiting.
âYeah.â Dustin huffed. âHi.â
âHi.â Steve repeated pleasantly.
âSo uh, howâs uh, how the uh,â Dustinâs eyes darted around the room trying to latch onto something via image/word association. He made eye contact with the portrait of a calico tabby his mother had needle pointed into a throw pillow. â- your cat?â
âHowâs your cat?â Steve shot back.
âHey, woah, low blow!â
âSo is this call a welfare check for my nonexistent cat or?â
âNo! I, uh - your parents! Theyâre in town - â
âDustin.â
âWell⌠- Look, ok so I thought wouldnât Steve enjoy if we all went out tonight and - â
âAnd there it is. Look, I already got plans tonight: So...â
âYou too?â Double Judas!
Steve had said all his weekend plans were canceled since his parents were at the house!
âYeah, well, the plan changed.â Dustin was running out of chauffeursâŚ
After a minute of huffing, he called Will. At least he seemed properly enthusiastic.
âOne thing though. How are we supposed get all the way out there?â
âYouâre gonna get Jonathan to drive us.â Dustin said confidently. Will however, hesitated.
âIâm not sure. I think he said he was going on a date with Nancy tonight.â
âSeriously?â Dustin huffed. âJesus Christ. Well, youâre gonna convince him then.â
âI dunno.â
âCome on, Will. Weâre counting on you here. All our licensed friends have betrayed and abandoned us. You gotta come through on this.â Will didnât say anything. âJust pull the kidnapped by monsters card! Right? Say the creature feature will be therapeutic, or something!â
âFine. Iâll ask.â Will sighed.
Will could be convincing when he needed to be. Thing is, he didnât even really have to try. It was those damned puppy dog eyes. Thatâs what got Dustin, Mike, and Will in the back seat of Jonathanâs Lincoln.
They invited Lucas but he couldnât make it after coming down with a bad case of relatives-in-town. It turned out for the best considering Nancy was occupying the passenger seat. Looking beleaguered.
Jonathan found a spot with a decent view and put the vehicle in park. He looked over to his girlfriend with a forced optimism.
âSee? Not so bad.â
Nancy smiled tightly, looking at the adolescents crammed into the back. Mike made a face at her, and because it was genetically hardwired into them both, she returned it.
âUh huh. Romantic.â She said, turning around to watch the opening credits. Will had told Dustin they were on the rocks. He might even feel a little bit guilty for intruding on date night but they were short on options here.
âCan we get snacks?â Mike asked Jonathan.
âUh, sure. We can go over there. Did your uh, parents give you money for snacks?â Jonathan said.
Dustin and Mike shook their heads.
âOh uhâŚâ Jonathan fumbled with his wallet, shifting around in the coin pouch. Will very quietly looked at his shoes. Mike seemed to notice because had opened his mouth like he was about to say something to him. But then after a pause, turned back to the front.
âActually, Jonathan got us slushies last time.â Mike said loudly.
âAnd he gave us money for the arcade the other week.â Dustin said, picking up quickly.
âYeah, itâs not his turn to pay.â Mike said.
Willâs seemed to relax a little, his shoulders becoming not so tightly hunched.
âOh. Ok.â Jonathan said, obviously somewhat relieved himself.
âItâs your turn.â Mike said, kicking that back of Nancyâs chair.
âExcuse me?â She said, turning to glare at him.
âItâs your turn to pay for the snacks. Come on, you have a job.â
âIâm not your babysitter.â She rolled her eyes. She decisively turned her back to them again.
âWe should have gone with Eddie.â Mike whispered.
âYeah well heâs, busy.â Dustin whispered back, making air quote finger bunnies. âBesides, that guy barely has money for gas. Steve wouldnât let us starve though.â
Mike huffed, rolling his eyes at the mere mention of the guy.
Dustin settled back into his seat, looking out the window at a couple passing their car on the way back from the concession stand. He could smell the popcorn in their bucket.
Wait a minute. Is that -
No fucking way. Speak of the devil, I guessâŚ
Dustin peered across the rows and yup, that was Eddieâs van. Hard to mistake that piece of junk for anything else that passed for road legal.
âThat fucking bastard!â Dustin whispered.
âBusy.â Right. Busy going out to see a movie - without Dustin!
And also the rest of the party.
âHey where are you going?â Mike said, but Dustin was already out of the car.
Mike and Will scrambled to follow him.
âWait, where are you guys- â Jonathanâs reaction time was a bit slow.
âTheyâre fine.â Nancy said.
âOk just donât be gone too long.â Jonathan said, ineffectually.
âWhere are we going?â Mike said.
âLook.â Dustin gestured at the van, positively aggrevied.
Dustin stomped over. He could see through the window from there. Nobody was even in the front. He ditched them to come see a movie he couldnât be bother to actually watch. Now that really grinded his gears. It was with righteous fury he banged his fist against the side of the van.
Dustin cracked a satisfied smile when he heard a yelp and the metal sounds of someone banging around in the back.
âWatch this.â He whispered. Then he dropped his voice a few octaves and with an Oscar worthy Hopper Impersonation said, âThis is the police. We know what youâve been up to.â
Mike had to bury a snicker behind his hands.
âHey man, I know my rights - â Eddie cracked the back door, sticking his head out. His eyes grew very wide. âOh you can not be fucking seriousâŚ.?â
Dustin couldnât help but laugh. âOh man, your face!â All threes boys, even Will, were snickering. At least until they heard -
âDustin?!â From behind Eddie came an unmistakably shrill voice, positively scandalized.
Eddie grimaced. He turned his head slowly to look back over his shoulder.
âUm. Yep. Dustin. And company.â
âWhat the - Is that Steve?â Mike said, rather scandalized himself.
Begrudgingly, Eddie let the door swing open, revealing Steve in the back of the van sitting on a mattress and a pile of blankets.
âWhat? Since when do you two hang out - !â Mike sputtered, throwing his hands up like this was a most unforeseen betrayal.
Mike fully bought into Eddieâs hype. Which makes sense. Eddie was cool as hell. But much as Dustinâs tried to set him straight, Steve dated Mikeâs sister. Those two forever were destined to be adversaries as far as he was concerned.
Steve kind of just thought Mike was a shithead.
Sure if you ask Mike, he considered Steve like âterminally uncoolâ, and that was a direct quote. Way too uncool to be friends with Eddie Munson of all people.
Dustinâs been trying to push this friendship for almost a year at this point, to absolutely no avail.
So. Actually Mike kinda had a point there.
âYeah, since when do you two hang out -â
âWe donât!â Steve said quickly.
â- without us.â Dustin frowned.
âWhat are you guys doing all the way out here? Away from Hawkins. Like just, so far away from Hawkins.â Eddie said, smiling uncomfortably wide. His eyes were shifting warily between the party and Steve, like he was watching the worldâs most invisible ping pong tournament.
âItâs not that far.â Steve muttered. Eddie almost looked guilty the way he was chewing on his lip.
And Steve looked, well⌠honestly Steve looked caught red handed. For what? Dustin had no fucking idea.
Dustin narrowed his eyes. Steve was bright red, his hair was a mess (highly suspect), he was wearing his favorite polo but it was all untucked and disheveled. He was blinking up at them, mouth open like he was struggling for words.
âI donât believe itâŚâ Dustin said. He sniffed the air, a bloodhound on the trail. âYou two wereâŚâ. The older boyâs eyes grew wide. âSmoking weed!â
Eddie deflated, dropping his head. âYou caught us.â He said, monotone. He pressed a hand roughly to the side of his face, leaning his elbow on his thigh and looking up at them with his one visible eye. âWe secreted away to smoke some fresh schedule 1. Please donât tell Mrs. Reagan.â
Steve did a little angry scoff. Eddie lifted his head just enough to peer through his bangs and see the pissy look Steve was giving him. Eddie threw up his palms, with a wide eyed and beleaguered flinch. Clearly telegraphing a defensive, what?
âSince when do you smoke weed.â Mike asked. Because obviously Steve wasnât cool enough for that either.
âI peer pressured him into it.â Eddie stage whispered, wiggling his fingers in villainous glee.
Steve rolled his eyes. Dustin was like 95% sure that was total bullshit. Because he was almost 100% sure Steve already smoked some. Dustinâs been in Jonathanâs car before, of course heâs gonna know what weed smells like. Heâll catch a whiff of it on Steve every now and again, especially these last few weeks.
These guys still try to hide stuff from them like theyâre little kids.
But also, Eddieâs clearly just trying to keep the mood light considering how flustered Steve looks about getting caught with the stuff.
âRemember kids, just say no. Unless your bad influence has as high quality stuff as I do in which case -â
Steve kicked out his foot knocking Eddie in the thigh.
âSay - no thank you.â He finished passive aggressively, as if Steve shouldâve had more faith he would stick the landing. âJust. Howâd you guys even get out here anyway?â
âJonathan and Nancy drove us.â
âNancyâs here?â Steve sat up quickly, straightening to look past all their heads.
Eddie huffed out a laugh. He grinned at Steve with his canines, slowly shaking his head. As if the van didnât smell bad enough, he took out a pack of smokes.
âWhat?â Steve huffed. Eddie leaned against the wall of the van, one shoe dangling out brushing the ground.
âI didnât say anything.â Eddieâs words were garbled between the cigarette he was lighting.
Dustin took a step back, looking at Mike and Will. They too, seemed to pick up on the overall bazaar energy these two were giving off.
Honestly Dustin âplanâ had been to march over here, make Eddie feel bad for blowing them off, then maybe asking if they could hang out with him for the rest of the movie. Probably guilt him into buying them snacks.
Dustin wasnât happy about being ditched, but heâd wanted to come see this movie with Eddie. He could be mad at the guy later.
Now though, he was thinking Nancy and Jonathanâs weird couple energy would be preferable to this, whatever this is.
âRiiiiiiiight.â Dustin jabbed a thumb over his shoulder. âWeâre gonna - weâre going.â
They made it maybe 5 steps, but Eddie was ever insitant he have the last word.
âHey shitheads. Donât mention Harrington here, if you can help it.â He plucked the cigarette from his mouth, using the hand to cup his mouth away from Steve. He stage-whispered, âHe doesnât want Miss Priss to know heâs been experimenting with - the devilâs lettuce.â He added a lot of drama to that last bit, like he was telling a spooky ghost story. Not talking about like, pot.
âEddie.â Steve said. Eddie ignored him.
âYou guys run along now. Pay attention yeah, this oneâs a classic.â He gestured vaguely behind him with his cigarette. âItâll be on the quiz. And I expect your report on my desk Monday morning.â
They said their goodbyes again, and wandered off. When they got back to the Lincoln, Jonathan had his arm around Nancy and she was leaning her head against his chest.
Dustin took a brief second to ponder over what the hell Nancy and Jonathanâs deal even was these daysâŚ
âHey guys.â He said, neck bending to look over his shoulder at an awkward angle so as not to jostle his girlfriend. âThat Eddieâs van?â
âUh-huh.â Will said.
âYou should tell him to pull up. Or something.â
âYou are not doing that right now.â Nancy muttered. âThe kids are here.â
âWhat? I wasnât -â Jonathan protested. It wasnât very convincing.
âNah heâs uh,â Dustin wasnât gonna call Steve out, not if he seemed actually upset that heâd been âcaughtâ doing drugs. âEddieâs - heâs⌠on a date.â He said. Will nodded, because he also tended to catch on pretty quick. Even Mike shrugged in placid agreement.
âHuh.â Jonathan said, landing somewhere between surprised, impressed, and all together apathetic. âGood for him, I guess.â
Friends donât lie, sure. Except sometimes. When friends lie for their friends.
Wait a minute. Dustin squinted at the back of Jonathanâs head. Does Jonathan buy drugs from Eddie often? It was a long shot, but maybe Eddie and Jonathan have secret smoke sessions too.
âDo you know who Eddieâs girlfriend is?â Dustin tried.
âHmmm? Girlfriend?â Jonathan said distractedly, eyes on the screen. âUh, no, no I donât think Iâve met her.â
Dustin huffed, frustrated, sinking back into his seat once again. Feeling thwarted.
By the time the movie was finished and they were lining up with the other cars towards the exit, the shitbox van was nowhere to be seen.
So imagine Dustinâs surprise when he gets a call around 10 am and Eddieâs on the line asking if he wants to come by and hang out.
âSeriously?â
âYeah, I mean, Iâve been telling you Iâd help you out on this one shot youâre trying to run for weeks now.â
âI thought you were busy today?â Dustin inquired. Hesitant. As if just waiting for the rug to be pulled out from under him.
âNope. No, uh, not anymore. Those plans got,â Eddie cleared his throat, âscrapped. Donât worry about it. Are you coming over or not?â
âIâll be there in thirty!â Dustin said. He slammed the phone down and sprinted to his room to get gather his notes.

Anonimo ha chiesto: Soo that time when shadowpeach were at pigzi's and saw tang with the "bite mark"đ Did they realise what was goinn on?? Will they like ask mk or smt about it? *I can imagine the shock on their faces*

@straightally2001 ha chiesto: I love and hunger for Spicynoodles! đđĽ What if during demon courting season, Pif decides that even though her son is strong she doesn't want to risk her son to end up court napped by some demon stranger that he doesn't even like. She wants him to be happy. So, she goes to MK and tells him about Red Son's feeling for him and convinces him to courtnap Red Son.
asjcajcb can't answer yet bc of spoilers!!
@stardynamite ha chiesto: I was desperately searching for another good fandom fanfic to latch onto here because I canât draw fanart at the moment and you have saved me for my eternal searching with your lmk au, thank you sire𫡠I am forever indebted to you for thouesth servicesth
Aw thank youu!!!
Anonimo ha chiesto: What would a demon do with the other person after they courtnapped them? Like is it just a forced date?
Nah I mean, If they refuse the courtnapping the captors has to release them otherwise they would just look like an asshole. If they agree then it's more of a surprise date.
Anonimo ha chiesto: Other demons who have tried to cournap wukong seeing Macaque do it with ease: HOW THE FUCK DID HE NOT DIE
He has the advantages that Wukong is a Simp
@wolfsonic ha chiesto: AWWWWWW!!! I LOVE THESE MONKIESSS! I just imagine Mk and Mac training with shadows, and Mk decided one day to practice his shadows by trying to tickle WuKong!
betrayed by his own son
@phoenixeclipse-lmkau ha chiesto: Is Macaque going to have to re-courtnap Wukong because they broke up before? Or would Wukong Courtnap Macaque after all this. Or are they just gonna skip the courtnapping part since they already did it in the past?
depends if we go by the headcanon that courtnapping=marriage
@elixcv ha chiesto: HI! first of all, I just wanna say that I LOVEEEEEEE you bio parent AU, it simply scratches something in my brain. I wish you all the good things in the world(â ďžâ ââ ăŽâ ââ )â ďžâ *â .â ⧠Now, in second place, I have 2 questions (and dw, if it's smth u don't/can't answer i don't mind, i just wanna say it, i guess?): 1. In your AU, pigsy is some kind of lower/not-so-strong demon? And, if he is, did he also Courtnapping Tang in his own way? 2. Can the courtnapping go both ways? Like, it just can happen one time per couple, or is a requirement that u have to courtnapping the other person back to show ur feelings? Bc, I can see a MK Courtnapping RS, and then RS trying to Courtnapping back, and in my head is like they're playing around the city in a complicated game of tag, or a hide n' seek. This can also apply to swk and macaque. I appreciate your thoughts about anything of this, even if I'm wrong in every way. I'm so excited about this AU and really love the way you write/draw it (â ââ â˘â á´â â˘â ââ )â ⤠(sorry for the bad English, I know to read/hear but the grammatical is always a pain in my ass ಼â âżâ ಼)
Yes, he's a lower demon, but in the end, it was Tang who did the courtnapping bc he thought that Pigsy wouldn't date him if he didn't court him the demon way, while Pigsy was planning on courting him the human way.
Yes. I think courtnapping can go both way but it's not a must or expected to.
@straightally2001 ha chiesto: I was reading your last post about MK and his mortality and I was wondering, if MK was on the verge of dying and there was no other way to save him would Monkey King give him a Peach of Immortality? Would MK be upset about it? Also sorry if this question is too angsty đ
Anonimo ha chiesto: Isn't redson immortal due to being half celestial or fallen celestial idk? Wouldn't he try to convince mk to take it if they get together? @purpleprinceblood ha chiesto: I think Wukong desperately wants Mk to be immortal but also knows that a) Mk would hate it and b) Wukong would too Like, dude has severe depression from his immortality and his friends leaving him, I think he would hate to watch Mk deal with that I could see Wukong offering Mk a life span growing thing, like in jttw iirc the peaches add like 500 years to your life span, Wukong just eats so many of them that they make him immortal, so I could see him offering it as a "I'm scared to lose you but also don't want you suffering like I do" @sakurablossoms-world ha chiesto: Wouldnât MK technically be long-living since heâs the child of two powerful entities, I mean Redson is 500 and heâs considered to be in his early 20âs by mortal comparison, so wouldnât it be expected that heâd outlive everyone (Redson and maybe Mei being an exception)? So while he would still value his mortality, immortality wouldnât really make that big a difference in hindsight. Then again I could be mistaken.
I think MK wouldn't like to become immortal against his choice regardless. Yes, in S1 we see he wanted to become one, but I think he still was in that phase were he just wanted to be/do everything like his hero. And that included eating a peach of immortality. I don't think he ever thought of the implication of being immortal
@yainmy ha chiesto: If Mk has been developing more of Macaques powers does that mean he can develope shadow clones like Rumble and Savage? Or will it be a chaotic nightmare like that one clones episode in the series?
He can only control one shadow clone: his own shadow!
Anonimo ha chiesto: Hello, I'm too nervous to send this non-anonymously, but I was wondering if I could take inspo from your ShadowPeach Bio parents AU for my own AU called Twins Of The Cycle? It's an AU with my oc, I basically just gave MK a twin.
Nope. If you want to ask for permission, you need to ask me not in anounymous.
@oddogoblino ha chiesto: Random but I find it so silly to imagine Wukong doesn't have the courtnapping instinct bc he's just a stone monkey (made up of pieces of heaven itself + the earth bc...stone), so the times he blushes over Mac are just him imagining cute innocent stuff like wanting to hold Macaque super close and cuddly. Also funnier thing, I was playing with the idea of shape-shifting being gender-limited for most beings/demons and Wukong's ability to shape-shift into women being wukong being an iconic monkey again so your latest update is a very fun surprise ! Yippee!!!
waitwaitwait I got it-
Anonimo ha chiesto: Can they monkeys purr like kittens?? It will be SOO CUTE if they can!!!â¨
Maybe???
Anonimo ha chiesto: was Macaque ever more reckless than Wukong ? Maybe in their youth đ¤
Oh definetely
Anonimo ha chiesto: did the Brotherhood in your AU know about Wukong being trans or Macaque courtnapping Wukong? did one of them try to courtnap someone, including our fav monkey boys? đđđ
Yes, the brotherhood knew
@blossomhill36353 ha chiesto: AAAAAAAHHHH THIS IS SO FUCKING GOOOD!!! I love u and your shadowpeach AU with all of my heart u know that!!!!â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸ I have a question tho!! Soo about the glamour thing are they can teach MK how to use one? And since mac has already shown without glamour Infront of MK will Wukong do the same as well??
Yes MK knows the basic of glamours. as for your second question, who knows....
@cutvdo ha chiesto: How oblivious / dense do you think Redson is? like would he notices when MK is blushing?
I'll tell you that, in the last comic, he actually did (the crowd goes in a standing ovation for the idiots of the century)
Anonimo ha chiesto: sooooo a lot of ppl like having Macaque having white hair/fur bc BUT does Wukong have any that heâs ashamed to admit?? đđđđ
he has but they are only stress related
Anonimo ha chiesto: I like how the shadow tickle courtnapping implies that Macaque could've gained the upper hand during any of their fights in the series, but he chose not to because the feelings associated with it were still raw.
Ah. Ok. Well, thank you but now I gotta stay in the corner and cry after this information
Anonimo ha chiesto: If Wukong and Macaque had been around for school who would the school prefer come if they called home Macaque or Wukong. I feel like Wukong because macaque would be overprotective.
They are the meme where MK got into a fight and they come in a hurry just to ask him if he won
Anonimo ha chiesto: I want someone to call either Macaque and Wukong old, and they get super mad and try to say they aren't old but they are
they are. they are very old.
Anonimo ha chiesto: Has macaque ever had to deal with Wukong having a period?? Does Wukong even have any if he shape-shifts?? Sorry if this feels inappropriate. Anonimo ha chiesto: WAIT, DOES WUKONG BEING TRANS MEAN MACAQUE HAD/HAS TO DEAL WITH HIS PERIODS?!?!.! ANCHHDMSBJFMDBCMDN đ
Yup, he still has the normal period symptoms and Mac had to stay with him all the time
Anonimo ha chiesto: Who would ask "would you still love me if I was a worm"
Wukong. And he would do it while shapeshifting as a worm
Anonimo ha chiesto: If they where like super angry at someone or something would Wukong & Macaque hiss (not sure what you would call the noise but, full on fangs out.)
I think yeah.
autism-autobot ha chiesto: Are we ever going to see the pilgrims in the shadowpeach bio parents au?
Nope
k4izershasfreakycanon ha chiesto: Hello,so if you dont remember me i was the one who made a custom outfit for mk! i only have the front rendered and coloref so i just wanted to say that you're always allowed to use it in comics! just please credit me:)

Can you give examples of Aang showing Empathy? Oh wait, you can't.
Actually, I can - because unlike you, I base my opinion of the characters on the actual stuff that happened in the story, not the bad faith takes dumb people on the internet come up with.
Zuko literally only survived past book 1 because Aang was the ONLY person amongst the heroes that gave a single fuck about his well-being. Aang offered to be FRIENDS with him as early as episode 13, even though this dude is trying to kidnap him.
In the first damn episode we see him realize and try to remedy Katara's struggle with no longer being able to act like a kid and have fun. He wants to travel with her so SHE gets to learn waterbending. He willingly lets Zuko take him into his ship because he understood that a conflict could lead to the people of the water tribe getting hurt or killed.
In Warriors of Kyoshi he apologizes to Katara for letting all the praise and admiration go to this head. He makes sure to put out the fires Zuko and his crew started in Suki's village.
He tries to help remedy the Hei-Bai situation, even though he is unsure of himself and even scared, because he knows he is the only one that has any chance of helping - and the thing that allows him to connect with Hei-Bai is the fact that he is ALSO upset about the destruction the Fire Nation has caused AND hopeful that the world would eventually heal.
He thinks Jet is awesome because he wants to help people that are being oppressed by the Fire Nation - and then is horrified when he finds out his intension is to "free" them by killing everyone
He wants to help the two rival groups not only safely cross the Great Divide, but also stop hating each other.
He confesses that he hid the map to Hakoda because Bato, Katara and Sokka are showing how much they appreciate and trust him and he feels unworthy of it after what he did because he knows it'd hurt him if the roles were reversed.
He is so devastated by the fact that he ACCIDENTALLY hurt Katara that he swears to never firebend again. He is also able to recognize the same principle behind his mistake in Zhao's fighting style, allowing him to win the battle against the bastard.
He accepts the fact that the Northern Air Temple is now occupied by people who not only don't belong to his culture but also don't understand it and unknowingly destroyed something sacred to him (and that one of them had been forced to make weapons for the Fire Nation) because these people have nowhere else to go and he doesn't want them to suffer.
He is furious at Pakku for refusing to teach Katara waterbending, because he knows how much it'd mean to her and how unfair it is that she can't learn it just because of her gender.
He is so devastated by the death of the Moon Spirit that the Ocean Spirit latches onto him to avenge it and save the day - and the leve of destruction it causes haunts Aang, even though the violence was against his enemies. And still, he tries to go into the Avatar state again because people are dying and he can't accept that.
After the fall of Omashu, he wants to rescue Bumi, not because he needs a teacher, but because they're friends.
He felt empathy for Toph when she was explaining to her parents how lonely and unappriacted their over-protection made her feel.
He and Katara both feel bad for snapping at Toph during "The Chase" and wanted to apologize for not understanding that being part of a group was a radical change to her, even though she had refused to even try. He also didn't have a problem with fighting alongside Zuko and Iroh against Azula, AND he looked concerned when Iroh was injured.
After Katara comments on the fact he called Toph Sifu but not her, he calls her Sifu while bowing, to show that he respects her both as his master and friend.
The hopelessness and downright depression he was feeling after Appa was stolen only starts healing because he saw a couple being happy with their newborn baby - the same couple he decided to help cross the Serpent's Pass, even though he and his friends had just been allowed to take a much safer route to Ba Sing Se.
His understanding and sympathy towards Jet, even after everything the guy did, was so strong that it freed him from literal brainwashing.
He doesn't want to push his love for Katara aside to gain power because he cares about her too much - and then does it anyway because, even though not making her his main focus 24/7 offers the risk of her being hurt, him neglecting his mission guarantees she'll get hurt.
He is devastated to learn that the world thinks he is dead because he knows he was everyone's last hope - and yet in the end he still accepts the burden of failure because he understood that, at that moment, everyone would be safer if no one else knew he was still alive.
He goes to a Fire Nation school and bonds with the kids, wanting to give them a taste of freedom and joy, as well as trying to understand what the war is like from their perspective. The same episode also has him pull Katara for a dance because he noticed she was feeling left out.
The boy felt empathy for, and understood the mistakes of, both Ruko and Sozin. SOZIN. Aang could see the humanity in the monster that is responsible for him losing his entire culture and everyone he loved.
When Zuko spoke about wanting to control his impulses so he wouldn't accidentally hurt anyone, Aang explicitly connected with that struggle and saw them being teacher and student as fate, and Zuko agreed because that's how deep their connection was.
Aang is not happy about Katara wanting to murder a man, but he still lets her take Appa on her mission and is not disapproving when she ultimately spares the guy but does not forgive him and makes it clear she never will.
He feels empathy for freaking Ozai, to the point that refuses to kill the guy - even as he has the balls to say that Aang's family, his people, deserved to die. He spared that guy - but only after he had a way to do that without it meaning the death of more innocents. Aang, the pacifist, was going to turn his back on everything he believed in just to avoid more human suffering.
So yeah, miss me with your bullshit and don't come back until your brain is developed enough to understand a cartoon aimed at kindergarterners.
