Far Too Young to Be This Old by CNWrites ( @cnwolf-brainrot )
Clint took a deep breath. "I’m here because three months ago I got my butt saved by a fourteen year old kid. Do you want to tell me your name again?”
Scott frowned at him, once again studying him sharply. His hands clenched and unclenched into little fists, his muscles tightening with each movement. It seemed like the kid was making a million decisions as he watched Clint, his brow creased under his brown bangs. His fingers clenched one last time, and then he let out a huff.
“Fine,” he muttered. He took a deep breath, carefully drawing himself up to his full fourteen-year-old height. His arms crossed tightly across his chest, his clunky gold visor catching the sun as he stared Clint down. “I’m Cyclops, leader of the X-Men. Now, what do you want with me and my team?”
________
In which Clint Barton meets Cyclops, the leader of the X-Men, a new group of rarely-seen mutant superheroes that many people would compare to terrorists. However, Cyclops is not the strong, stubborn, deadly man that Clint has heard of. In fact, he is not a man at all. Complete, 182k words.
*** ** * ** ***
Chapter 54:
“You are choosing the wrong side,” he said, his voice steely and cold as he tried to stare Clint down. “I thought you were supposed to be the one with the good eyesight. Can’t you see I am the victim here?” “Well, I’m also the deaf one,” Clint deadpanned. “So I can’t hear you.”
Chapter 56:
“Don’t even say it, I know it’s a lie.” His fists were practically ripping the blanket. “It’s always a lie. You can’t care, no one cares. No one ever cares.”
#Scott is the first X-Men. The elder sibling. The leader. It doesn’t matter that he is 14#living with no guardians with five kids at his charge. As the ’adult’#they’re his responsability — as is fighting Hope factories to protect mutankind.#Clint has a tendancies to keep strays#and he adopt the six feral mutant kids. Even if Scott needs to be dragged kicking and screaming into the family trope#fighting Clint every step of the way. (Even as everyone relax#Scott watch#always guarding#never trusting. But even him can only keep his guard up for so long without hope and attachment hooking in. 4 months and two mistakes#to be exact.)#fragments of imagination#ao3#fic rec#fanfic snippet#fanfiction#fanfic#scott summers#cyclops#x men#marvel#the avengers#Mcu#clint barton#deaf clint barton#adoption

In regards to the cog-less megs comic: im sure op would be sooo normal and well adjusted if he found out abt that happening/saw him without his cog


I was actually working on another (angst) version of this but you get the funny haha version first :3 Bee and Elita are giving Optimus a 10 minute window before they intervene (they’ve seen OP moping around and are hoping this will help him get some it out of his system. They’ll have to step in at some point or else he probably won’t let go).
Why he’s small here and here
#maccadam#transformers#megop#megatron#optimus prime#transformers one#d-16#orion pax#tf one#Elita one and bumblebee for a brief moment#op thinks if he hold on for tight enough and long enough he could have d-16 back#megs get a few good hits in before Optimus got him into that hold#he does NOT like op being bigger than him#he’s used to always being just a bit bigger#I don’t mean to keep drawing cogless megs but here we are#sad version of what if Optimus sees cogless Megatron will be up at some point#pretend the high guard aren’t here bc they would not let this fly#or starscream would be making fun of him which is just as bad#soap ask

The Old Guard was SO fucked up for being like “we’re all immortal with a single catch that any of our deaths could be the last.” Then have two of them being romantically involved for CENTURIES and every single time they die together, in the back of their minds, they wonder if the other is going to get back up with them.

The back of Discworld novels: wowee terry's whipped another wacky and wild adventure for us this time! there's so many silly shenanigans and witty wordplay in this book that you're sure to have a hilarious time!
Discword novels: a cynical alcoholic navigating and overcoming the pointlessness of his job, a transparent metaphor for racism and gun violence in the police system and in general, an intelligent young girl overcoming the ideas she's been taught by her culture and the media she consumes, just an entire novel made of commentary on war and gender, using talking animals as a way to explore what defines personhood and contrasting stories vs reality, an ex-convict coming to terms with the damage he's caused and fighting monopolies that are trying to do the same thing,
#and then the ex-convict's name is Moist von Lipwig#yes i made them sound more serious than they are but the book descriptions always do the opposite so it balances out#the books i'm talking about in order: guards guards; men at arms; the wee free men; monstrous regiment; the amazing maurice; going postal#discworld#gnu terry pratchett#sam vimes#moist von lipwig#tiffany aching#monstrous regiment

🎊Happy New Lunar Year! 🎊 Year of a Wooden Snake 🤎🐍🤎
Wooden Snake made me think of XS beloved headcanon of Jermaine being Dragon of Wood element and I just couldn't resist! ;3
design is absolutely based on @wei-smiler 's amazing Jermaine post (he looks so fly in their style!)
#xiaolin showdown#xs jermaine#xs omi#xs wuya#chase young#like always lunar new year caught me off guard because i forget when it falls on the calendar but after realizing its on 29th#and that its wooden snake i literally couldnt think of drawing anything but Jermaine haha#if you are wondering why wuya is also there i am absolutely using that one headcanon from reverse xs comic about wuya originaly being#a dragon of wood element (at least in some alternative universe lol)#and chase is there because i just wanted to draw him with his students <3 they both hate/love him and he just couldnt stop manipulating#those bright young minds <3 horrible mentor/mentees realtionship ;3

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE | Louis' various half-smiles, hidden smiles, and forced smiles for his partners
#iwtv#iwtvedit#interview with the vampire#vampterview#louis de pointe du lac#lestat de lioncourt#armand#loustat#loumand#jacob anderson#*#the scene of the first row is cute and doesn't really fit with the others#but i feel like it kind of highlights how things got progressively worse#something that was fun and exciting in the beginning transformed#into something where he needs to always be on guard and ready to pacify

Wolffe: [dangling from the vent, ankle of his shoe dug into the rim so they don’t fall] this is stupid!
Fox: [dangled upside down, looking through a fridge and collecting pudding] this is genius, Vod. Genius.
I bet you thought they were cadets

Thinking of how a birthday party on the ship with the 41st would look like 🧐?

This is why they never get anything done.
#dema answers#atla#avatar the last airbender#zuko#atla fanart#prince zuko#atla art#new gods au#zuko's crew#the crew#spirit touched zuko#for the spirits#lieutenant jee#Captain Yume#Ensign Yoi#Chief Engineer On Zhe#Healer Oyoshi#Royal Guard Ming#atla oc#atla meme#41st division#Poor Oyoshi can't celebrate his birthday in peace#For context#Ming is trying to prove her theory that Jee is the most teaseable crewmember out of them. He's proving her right.#Oyoshi is wondering why tf he's still there. He doesn't get paid enough for this.#Poor On Zhe is overwhelmed (he always is)#Yume is Done™#And Yoi is relishing the chaos#He's a gremlin#On Zhe would be Sokka's bff (engineering geniuses and all) but letting Yoi and Toph befriend each other is a recipe for Armageddon

To the next adventure...
Image description and details under cut
I.D.
[A drawing of Nicky, Joe, Quynh, and Andy from The Old Guard. They are all in profile, walking in a straight line facing the sun. They are dressed in medieval clothing and armour, and each carry their own weapons and bags. Nicky has his sword, a crossbow, a quiver of bolts, a dagger at his belt and another strapped to his ankle. Joe is holding his sword, a bag, and a coin purse. Quynh's bow is over her back, and her quiver is at her hip. Two daggers are strapped to her belt, one of them matching Nicky's. Andy is holding her axe, two bags, and a dagger. They each have serene expressions and closed eyes, as if they're not in a hurry. In the background, the seasons change from winter to spring, summer, fall. There is an old tree behind them, and its branches change with the seasons.]
#tog#the old guard#nicolo di genova#yusuf al kaysani#quynh#andromache of scythia#the old gays#siggy draws#FINALLY. this took... 3 months altogether? FUCK i miss these four.#apologies if my image description is super long. i really enjoy drawing all these tiny details...#director's commentary as usual:#when i draw stuff like this it's usually because i'm working on a big fic. and i am. but also it is taking me over a year so far#because i'm finishing my undergrad. but i do plan to finish the fic!#regardless they could be walking anywhere.#tried to keep it sometime around the 14th century. i always try to put them in clothes that reflect their personalities -#- and places of origin more or less.#andromache's mail is old af and not in good shape. only she and nicolo have spurs so i guess they would be the riders if they had horses#but i am not about to attempt to draw a horse lol#details i like: nicky's little hat to protect his hair from his chainmail. his and quynh's matching daggers. yusuf's fancy-boy armour.#quynh's leg wraps and her jerkin. and andy's super old chainmail and her whip braids <3#where are they going? where did they come from? it's up to ye.
