#and GUESS WHO DIDNT KEEP THEIR END OF THE DEAL

[raccoonrobyn-imagines]

Danny has been trying to just live on the Gotham streets peacefully for a good year and three quarters, and all that he's gotten is that people keep trying to say he's a prophet for Apollo.

Danny is not Apollos prophet. He's the fucking Ghost King and Apollo wishes that he was Danny.

Sure, he doesn't want to start beef with the God's of this dimension, but it's not his fault that when he complained to Clockwork that he was bored after a few thousand millenia of doing his King Shit Clockwork decided to send Danny on a vacation. He just wanted to take a few weeks, but apparently, Clockwork said that Danny needed to spend an entire human lifetime here.

He is even as small as a 10 year old! His body, thankfully, is only shrunken down instead of him being an actual 10 year old as he probably would have left this dimension within the first four years to fight Clockwork for making him go through puberty again, but apparently his Dear Old Dad knew that he would, so he cut that off at the pass.

Anyways, he's now the size of a 10 year old, living on the streets and is ready to fuck up the next person who dares to attempt to kidnap him for being a kid with white hair and green eyes on the streets. Since this dimension has so many heroes and the like, they also have many villains, and this city is plagued by them so much that other people on this planet have this place listed as a "do not fly zone".

Danny thinks this place is fine, but that might mainly have to do with how he's able to see the spirits and shades that congregate to a villain attack that would happen soon.

And since he can see that, he can also avoid them.

People have started to notice... which is why through some type of social media called tumblr, they've decided that Danny is some sort of prophet. And for Apollo, no less! No offense to Apollo, but Danny is quite literally the God Above God's. He has mediated their quarrels more than he has slept in the past several thousand years! Plus! He's very clearly star or moon coded, than he is sun coded!

Anyways, now he gets to deal with people staring at him when he's just wandering around, as if he's going to look them in the eye and tell them that the Clown Bitch is gonna show up in a few minutes! As if he hasn't already passed judgement on that fucker and disembowled him a week ago!

As Danny is grumbling to himself while he walks down 4th Avenue, he pauses, seeing a large congregation of shades and spirits in the middle of the street and glares at the knowledge that he's gonna go viral again, and states clearly, and loudly, to those watching and videoing " The Vibes Are Rancid." Before turning and walking in the opposite direction.

He can hear the stampede rushing away from that street before he sees people pushing past him. They're all carefully running past him, but never harming him. They all know that Danny is worth the care in the self-interest of not getting themselves killed at some point

At least he can satisfy his protection obsession by warning people about the impending attack...

Now, if only the bats and birds of the city would leave him alone and stop trying to grab him, he'd have a much more peaceful existence. And since it's already dark out, he's aware that at least one of the birds are tailing him.

He can sense one that's on the rooftop above him watching him and probably already calling the rest of their clan for backup where the attack is predicted to happen. He thinks it's one of the red ones. The purple one would have already tried to talk to him, and The Big Bat himself would have tried to get him to agree to an adoption already. The ghostly silent girl would have waved to him, and the eldest boy would have offered him some food by now.

That leaves the one in the stupid hat, the one who never stops asking him questions, and the one with a sword. The red question one would have probably come to ask him what's going on by now, unless it has to do with how many people are still around, the one in the stupid hat tends to watch from a rooftop, ready to defend him but not really wanting to interact, and the sword one would rather be on the street with him, just cause they do tend to talk more often after Danny had asked once about how to take care of a hurt cat.

Danny didn't anticipate becoming friends with Robin, but he does find the 23 year old interesting. Robin and him have had a few fun interactions, and he seems to enjoy talking to Danny like he is a person and not just a child.

He does know who all the bats and birds are, due to knowing what their souls say their names are. However, he also knows that he probably shouldn't say their names, both from his time being a hero, and from hearing that no one knows who they are.

Once all the people rushing away have cleared out, he feels more than hears his friend drop down beside him. "Hello, Red Robin. Have you come to ask me some questions? Or should I assume you're here to evacuate me?" Danny smirks.

"Bud, you already know the answer to that. I still have 5 questions left for this week, per our agreement." RR chuckles. "And remember, if I get who you are right by the end of this week with any questions left, you let either me or Robin adopt you. Are you royalty?"

Danny grins, his face nearly splitting in half, his lips literally spreading ear to ear. "Yes, I am."

"Are you from this dimension?" RR asks, his grin growing wider as well. Danny can tell that RR finally figured out who he is, he just wants to run down the questions a little more.

"No." Danny is starting to feel more at ease from this game seemingly coming to an end. He's been giving this bird the run around for a year and a half. He's sure that they're both relieved for it to be coming to a close.

"Are you actually older than this worlds birth?"

Danny pauses at this question, unsure of how long hes been around. "I do not remember how long its been since your worlds existed, but I do know that our dimensions times aren't 1:1 and I don't exactly know how old I am. I've been ruling for several thousand millenia if that counts as an answer."

RR chuckles and nods, his face showing his complete confidence of who he thinks Danny is. "Are you The Ghost King Of The Infinite Realms?"

A distant sound of ice shattering echoes under Danny's title, and Danny cackles. "Yes, I am. That was a fun game, little bird. Should I choose who will adopt me?"

RR grins, pure satisfaction radiating from his every move. "Robin and I both decided that Robin should adopt you. Of course, since you're older than anyone on earth, you won't actually be his child on anything except paper, but you will be able to have an actual place to sleep and the like. Shall I call Robin to let him know the good news, your majesty?" RR asks teasingly.

"Hmmm, no. Don't tell him anything, I'll just go to his apartment to wait for him. I'm sure him and the rest of the clan are waiting for you to get back and help with the attack as well. Better not keep them waiting, Uncle." He grins before vanishing in front of Red Robin.

Ghosts Tell Me

~

Ghosts gather near the place where something bad is going to happen,

Danny with his ghost sense tends to notice before anyone else and tends to react outwardly before the danger even happens, gaining a reputation of seeing the future,

Ghosts also tell Danny things, causing Danny to know more about situations and the people around him, it comes of as suspicious.

~

Danny pulling away a snack from his coworker: "Careful your allergic to these ingredients!"

Coworker: "How the hell...I've never mentioned that to anyone."

~

Danny on a phone call with his friends while doing his nightly walks in Gotham: "Yeah so apparently the second Robin who is now Red Hood has very personal beef with the clown here cuz he got killed by him after being sold out by his bio mom, which really sucks for the poor guy."

Oracle who has been keeping an Eye on Danny cuz he's very suspicious from an outsiders pov: "Hey B, I think we have a problem."

~

Danny notices that the ghost in Gotham tends to gather where something bad is going to happen, the more they are the worse the situation will be: *glowing smoke leaves from his mouth* "Yikes! Very bad vibes here, nope!"

Gothamites who at this point recognize him and know the drill and quickly pack up their things to leave:

Just an Idea

[i-eat-mold]

just here to say that gertrude robinson is the single funniest character. she is THE character. she dies before the show even starts. shes an old lady that adopted an edgy teen and traveled the world. She is the avatar of one of the fourteen elditch horrors that feed on primordial fears, she had basically infite knowledge of everything and her plan to stop one of the rituals of a cult of another one of said list of eldrich horrors was to blow it up with a bunch of c4. we only find out about this because she stored all of the explosives in a random storage unit and the aforementioned edgy teen with mommy issues (who by the way, is dead, but when he died she sneaked into the morgue to put him inside a book) speaks through the book to the woman's succesor who, by the way, has no idea what the fuck is going on because neither she nor anyone else has bothered to explain shit to him, and tells him that she kept something important in the unit. we only find out about this after 100 episodes of the show. She feeds her subordinates to an all consuming monster/god, but its ok i guess. Later on (earlier on? at the same time? in a different timeline? after?) the literal end of the world and the end of the end of the world shes back and still has to deal with this stupid teenager who at least doesnt spend half his life focused on dyeing his hair and the other half about finding murder books (not as books about murder but as in, books who actively murder). She is a well experienced arsonist despite having no affiliation with the actual official arsonists club that is yet another cult to yet another one of the previously mentioned eldritch horrors. She is, however, metaphysically tied to the Chosen One, the Messiah of said cult, or some shit. She is absolutely terrible at her actual office job (on purpose). She dismembered a guy (who was her assistant) and probably commited several undocumented crimes against humanity. Once again, she has all seeing abilities and barely noticed her favorite assistant was torturing a coworker. She dares her murderous boss to kill her and gets surprised when he does so. When asked what to do about a literal Monster Pig, her advice is to encase it in cement. She was such a bitch. Her plan B was always to set things on fire. Her plan A was often to set things on fire. One of these instances was approved by her boss (the one who killed her). It is canon that the reason she started all this shit in her life was because the fire cult killer her cat. She sacrified another one of her assistants who became an avatar of the literal concept of Insanity but it was just a other thursday for her. She knows on a first name basis pretty much every person and monster affiliated with the eldritch horrors that she tries to keep at bay on the daily. She stopped a ritual for The Lonely by making the place a tourist destination. She has an ebay account. Instead of performing a ritual for the God that she was affiliated with, she wanted to destroy it and planned to 1. blind herself, and 2. set fire (yet again) to her workplace. It didnt work, because and her boss, who was also the one who was going to perform the ritual, finds her right before and kills her after she says he has no balls to do so. Also she is voiced by the mother of the main character's voice actor (who he named with his own, full, legal name) and the series' writer, which are the same person. Shes the worst, shes the best, i love her, we will never get anyone like her again, we need more characters like her.

inner mono-dialogue

the more time i spend being davepeta with you the more i realize almost every single problem in my life was caused by my obsession with being this unfeeling cool dude

but youre cool already

like in the way that actually matters

youre chill and friendly and just nice and thats all there is to it

youre shamelessly yourself even if everybody around you is a jackass and gives you shit for it

youre similar to jade and john in that way

i really envied that about them

but its different actually being at the control panel and feeling where that earnesty comes from

it makes me wanna match your energy and keep that pawsitivity ball rolling even if it ends up being weird or cringe or whatever

fuck man do you know how exhausting it is building yourself social hoops to leap through all the time and when you trip up even once its suddenly the end of the world

what kinda dumbass does that its like dealing with life in hard mode for no reward

fuck that noise

i like your way better

Nepeta's heart burns and shines inside you.

:33 < thank you :))

:33 < but you know

:33 < i dont think doing things your way is unrewarding

:33 < its like

:33 < a shield!

Dave scrunches up with discomfort.

X33 < i dont mean that in an insulting way!

:33 < the fact is that shields are just purractical sometimes

:33 < it doesnt make you cowardly to hide behind one

:33 < in the same way that it isnt cowardly for a predator to hide in the bushes when stalking prey

:33 < its just a way to make sure you dont get hurt!

:33 < purrsonally i found shields too cumbersome

X33 < im a hunter after all!

:33 < and i guess maybe the same goes for my personality

:33 < its not really that im purrticularly brave for being myself

:33 < i just didnt have a say in the matter in the furst place!

:33 < honestly if i had a choice i would have loved to be more like you dave

:33 < you can befriend people almost effortlessly

:33 < and its beclaws youre also just a nice person

Dave recoils in surprise, but Nepeta passionately pushes forward.

:33 < fur real! i f33l it inside you! theres a really strong sense of empathy there

:33 < its just like mine! just smarter, and a bit more analytical

:33 < whenever we encounter someone mew, its like i f33l you lock onto them, and you gather so many insights into their purrsonality without even trying

:33 < and you can use that to bond with others without giving every part of you away

:33 < which unfortunately

:(( < i never really knew how to do

Nepeta sours with unpleasant feelings. Your brows scrunch together with both pain and sympathy.

Nepeta has a big and complex heart. She tried her best to keep it from spilling over, but it always did in the end. And it was embarrassing. It was embarrassing when your friends dismissed your hobbies or focused in on your strange quirks. It was embarrassing when they revealed they knew about your crush on Karkat that you'd worked so hard to hide. And it hurt whenever he would say mean things about you. He and anyone else.

But you always puffed out your chest and sucked it up. You stuck to your guns no matter what. Because it was fun! The things you liked, the people you liked, were fun, and they made you feel good. Why couldn't anyone else see that? And why did it seem like they never gave a single thought to who you were?

You curl in on yourself. Your chest hurts. You suddenly really miss Equius.

And you miss Rose. You miss Jade. You miss John and Karkat and Aradia and Tavros and Terezi and all the others. You miss all the people you can go outside and see whenever you wish, and you miss all the people that you have no hope of ever seeing again. You feel the choral echo of all the times you've ever felt this need for comfort, this thrumming pain searing hot inside you, like hunger wracking your stomach.

You clench your teeth. You remember being on your bed, curled in blankets, not having eaten a proper meal in days. You remember holding your stomach and sneaking to the kitchen, turning your shoulder at every step to look fearfully behind you, only for your fingers to falter hopelessly on the handle of the refrigerator, knowing there was nothing for you inside.

You shake with anger. You know that feeling. The feeling of being chased by something much bigger than you, a hulking silhouette of menacing strength following your scent through the thicket. You'd clutched a beast carcass to your chest, barely breathing as you stalked clumsily through the trees, performance wavering from exhaustion and hunger.

You'd almost died. You'd almost died often. And then after escaping death so many times, it one day claimed you. Casually. Unflinchingly. And the world beat on without you, leaving you stunned by your own insignificance. You'd looked out onto every preceding moment of your life, wondering if there was anything to truly be proud of in the face of your friends accomplishing all these fantastical things. You'd felt lonely before, but after that, you were truly walled off from every single person you knew.

And now, despite everything, you're alive again. Twofold, together with someone.

A warmth coats the ache inside your body. The two parts of you swirl together, feeling and tasting each other, trying to understand themselves.

It feels like a hug.

— ( ⏳️ ) you give me butterflies got me falling in the deep end of your disguise sparred with a hundred lies.

meret manon x fem reader, argument, swearing, hugging, established relationship, cheater!manon, swearing, wc [?], tags listed below

you really didn't want to be the type of person who is possessive nor easily jealous, yet nothing can hide manon's recent suspicious actions — it was at first simple things like going out with her friends or calling them frequently — but then this friend seemed to take all of manon's time

then she changed her password, which was not that big of a deal you can handle it, what hurt you the most was her forgetting very important things to you — like when you planned a date and she didn't even text you where she had been you stayed in that restaurant for 2 hours waiting for manon only to find out she was with that friend again

which leads you to now

"are you serious?!, I waited like a stupid bitch at that restaurant all dolled up, just for you to "forget"?! manon what the fuck!" you were seething all the pent up emotions you had hidden in order to just be with manon now exploding out of you

"and? I told you I was with sophia!" manon retorts, pacing back and forth in your apartment, she smelled like sophia like she had for the past 2 months, "yeah like always" you laugh but without any emotion maybe even mocking yourself

"what's that supposed to mean?" manon looks at you, her gaze speaking truth of her rage — "i mean is that- manon what am i to you?, why do i feel like I'm fighting for your attention, I'm the only one making this relationship work manon" you respond tears start to blur your vision as emotions flow out

the older girl's temper suddenly cools down as she sees you cry, and then it all comes crashing down on her, guilt, regret and self-hatred, how did she end up like this? — why was she busy with another woman when you were there all along waiting for her

"babe, don't cry" manon quickly hugs you as you sob, it felt as if she had killed something, that something was the love you two had poured out for eachother

never in a thousand years would have she guessed that she would do this to you, yet she had to tell you, manon thinks about the words that would leave her mouth in the next second before she stammers, "forgive me, my love"

"i-i cheated, my love i am so sorry" manon stutters as the words get stuck in her throat, she felt your sobs get deeper and more hurt

thoughts flood your mind, maybe you weren't enough?, did you ever show less compassion?, where did you lack?

"was i not enough manon?" you finally mutter to her, you felt so stupid, stupid that you knew something was wrong but chose to stay silent, to stay with her, "no, please don't think that way — i was selfish and wanted more when you had given me everything"

"i love you, y/n please don't leave me, ill change i promise please give me a chance" manon begs as words keep spilling from her mouth, you didn't hear her, all you heard was she needed more and you couldn't give it

it felt all too wrong, sophia who you always knew was a friend was sleeping with manon? your girlfriend — all those nights that you'd wait for manon to come home, cook for her hell even clean for her, yet she still cheated?

you felt betrayed and hurt, you walked to the bedroom and started packing a bag, with your clothes and things, "baby don't leave me" manon pleaded, yet you didnt respond maybe if she did this earlier you wouldve huddled her and comforted her but not anymore

"i need to clear my mind manon, please i can't put up with this bullshit" you whisper afraid of what lies ahead between you two

manon craddles her face, afraid of what she might lose, as she sees you walk away from what once was a place of love now just a painful reminder of what they were

what she has ruined all for a little more attention

HARDLY SEEMS FAIR

robby keene x fem! reader

warnings: "casual" relationship", swearing, arguments, crying, heavily ldr coded, implied hookups, slut shaming, cheating, angsty

“in what world is that fair robby?"

oke so this is kinda a retconnned chapter from my wattpad book that i'm just extending and making more ambigious instead of clearly x oc. i hope y'all like it tho. i am sorry i have been gone for so long :(

Y/n plays with the ends of Robby's hair. He was laying with his head in her lap while they just relaxed in her room. It was calm, domestic. A small and very rare moment for just the two of them. No outside force would intrude and break their safe haven. There was no what if's that lingered in the air. Nor past resentments that hung over them like an ominous cloud determined to damper their moods. 

It was just Y/n and Robby. And that's all they'll ever be. No labels. She figured that much after the last time she'd brought it up. But she's become so full of him she can't even bring herself to care. She'd rather have what they have now, whatever it may be with him. Rather than risking losing him, and the routine she's started to build around him. 

She hums softly. Her mind far off. "Y/n?" She hymns in acknowledgement without turning her head. "Something happened this weekend."

He was lying. This had been going on for weeks. He had been having doubts for weeks. He'd been seeing her for weeks. "What happened? Another karate fight?" She wasn't the girl who got heartbroken. She was never the second choice. She got what she wanted. And she wanted him, however she could have him.

"I kissed Sam Larusso."

Y/n freezes. Her body betraying her as she tenses up. She has no right, she knows that. They were 'casual'. Just her and Robby. Non-commital.

"I mean big deal right? We were drunk anyways. Just felt bad not telling you. I know were not dating so it's really not your business, but don't worry about it. I mean we've fucked so often what does a kiss even mean?"

A kiss. To her it meant everything. An act of intimacy that they rarley ever shared. So innocent, so pure.

"Get out of my room Robby." Y/n mumbles, her voice above a whisper. The teen sits up from her lap and looks at her incredalously. He was only telling her to keep her in the loop. She didnt have the right to be mad. So why was she making a big deal about this?

"What?"

"You heard me. Get the fuck out of my room Keene."

He furrows his brows in a toxic coctail of anger and confusion. "Why? You can't get pissed at me for this Y/n. We aren't fucking dating. Don't get all aggro on me like you're some psycho girlfriend when you're a friend with benefits at best."

Y/n stands up and pushes the boy out of her room. "Get the fuck out of here Robby! If it didn't mean anything why don't you go fuck her then? Go whine about your mommy issues and daddy issues to her and leave me the hell alone."

"You have some nerve you know that right? Don't act all high and mighty now. You're a whore. Why the hell would I ever actually take you seriously when I can get everything I want without the label or work. You're easy, I could never do that shit with Sam."

Her breath was stuck in her throat as the boy she truly thought cared began to berate her as if she was a random person on the street. The boy she suffered for. The boy that was really never her's to keep. Y/n forces herself to wipe her anrgy tears and push Robby once again.

Y/n's hands were shaky, she desprately wanted to cry. To scream. To give in and give him the satisfaction of getting to her. "Oh so you can come over whenever you want, make me listen to your shitty life, and basically force yourself into my own life, but all that means nothing right? Well guess what Kenne. You kissed her, and she still doesn't want you!" She presses her finger into his chest while her voice level rises. "That same girl is still with Miguel. So just because you wanna jump ship and 'upgrade' doesn't mean she wants anything to do with you. Face it babe, you're just white trash."

"Shut the fuck up Y/n." Robby practically spits back.

"Oh, so you can disrespect me and belittle me in my own fucking room, but when its you its a problem? Grow up Robby. You're a man baby and a hypocrite. In what world is that fair Robby? Maybe in your little made up fantasy where Sam picks you and you leave me for dead. So go stay there. Cause you're sure as hell not welcome here."

Y/n throws everything he's given her at him. Every last peice a memory they shared together. Posters, drawings, braclets, anything that adorned her room. All of it thrown to him and crashing down like victims of a violent storm. Tears streamed down her face as he backed up to her door.

She opens the door for him and grabs his sweater and keys before shoving it in his chest. The boy watches her dumbfounded.

"Stay away from me Robby. Go back to some other slut that can put up with your baggage and shitty attitude for one night stand status. Because I'm done."

He looks at her, but there wasn't the girl he knew looking back at him. Not with how she glared, not with how she stood, and not with how she felt. Her eyes, the e/c irises reflected love, now they were dark. Harbors for her contempt. The grimace on her face was unforgettable. Especially as the last thing he seen before she slammed her door on his face.

Robby swallows the spit in his mouth, a hard lump of guilt not wanting to go down. He didn't think any of this would happen. He wanted her to care, but he didn't want to fight. His temper, his father's god forsaken temper, and his own damned ego.

He wanted what he had with her, with Sam. The girl next door with a rich family and big house. Like something out of a book. Not the girl that did whatever he said for the sake of making him happy. He really did want to just abandon her, didn't he? After everything.

Choking back his frustrations the boy marches down her stairs and lets himself out. He liked what he had with her, but he wouldn't fight for her. Guys only did that for the girl they want.

I <3 misconceptions and misteps in alien x reader fics.

Likkkeeee aliens who's courting rituals happen to be wayyy too similar to how you would treat your friends.

It wouldn't help if either your the only human on the ship somehow and everyone else is to freaked out to correct you one your behavior.

(would also work if it's the only one of its species among a mostly human team, but for the sake of my personal interest It's gonna be the first thing (will totally write that later though, probably))

You're just trying to make friends among your new crew and they're all like, always mildly flustered or confused. You don't have time to do research because you're always too busy either dealing with the people you work with or your actual job.

Eventually when you make yourself a friend on the ship!! You're estatic!!!

You try to be as friendly and as loving as possible to your new friend because you don't wanna mess up, esspecially seeing how every other being on the ship seems to avoid you as much as possible.

You get them little gifts, and you have little sleepovers, and sometimes you let them pet you... you don't know why they do that, but it's okay!!!! They seem super happy when you let them!!!!!!

At some point they do start getting upset when you try to make friends outside of them. He's been acting a bit weird, or at least weirder than usual.

Your alien companion feels the need to constantly rub against you. They make sure to do it subtly as if they're trying to hide it somehow.

At your usual sleepovers he always insists the two of you cuddle as close as possible. He makes you where his comfort clothes that end up drowning you his scent. They're also not made for your anatomy so the clothing looks a bit silly...

Your extraterrestrial crew members mildly start avoiding you more than usual when he's around, much to your annoyance.... but whatever.

When you FINALLY get the chance to sit down and look up this species and they're behavioral patterns (you brought your favorite creature along just incase you have questions) it all seems normal. Like. They seem overly formal, but whatever. If they're comfy it's fine you guess.

And then you stumble apon mating rituals.

your best friend does anything to stop you. Anything short of straight up ripping the device from your hands. All while he's doing what you've somehow deciphered as his species' abnormal form of blushing. (You figured it out by watching all the times you've accidentally flustered oh so many of your crewmates.)

After wrestling your device away from him and hiding safely just out of his reach. You lay your eyes apon what the issue has been all along.

pebbling, scenting, nesting.... and so so many things that you just do normally. Just as little friendly gestures. And you're shocked. Embarrassed even.

Have you accidentally been whoring yourself around this whole time by complete accident????

Even worse, you've realized you've likely been leading on your closest companion for years now!!!!

You apologize profusely!!!! You feel terrible!!!!!!

Your best friend assures you that it's okay he understands that you weren't doing anything on purpose. You can keep doing what makes you comfortable with him... just don't do that with anyone else! You wouldn't want them getting the wrong idea from you.

A few months after this incident you kinda got everything figured out. And you still get to do all your normal comfort stuff with your home boy and people stopped acting so off around you. Win-win!

It is kinda strange that they keep refering to your favorite person as your 'mate'. Probably just a misconception. He usually just tells you not to worry about it, so you don't.

Little did you know he's totally been feeding into those things. He thought you would've realized he's been discretely flirting with you during the research fiasco stuff, but nope. You didnt even realize how desperatly into you he is! And yeah, he knows it's awful of him to keep letting this go on even though he knows you don't mean anything by it. But what he and everyone else sees as a full on relationship can't exactly hurt you if you're kept in the dark about it.

okay i have this theory on HOW tomas died. what happened before that led to his death.

okay, so we all know from lyras mom that tomas was kind of like an entrepreneur who wasnt too big on telling the truth; he constantly told different people different stories about himself, and lyras mother, who ended up literally having his child, didnt know much about him.

i know people like him could be any age, but because he seems so desperate to make business deals and it seems to be because hes young and just started his career, plus if lyras mother were older (yes ik this could be at any age too but its most likely to happen to a young person) she probably wouldnt have stayed so long with a guy who she 1. knew nothing about and 2. thought was distrusting, im guessing tomas is on the younger side, like 19-25.

now, my theory could work with or without this next thought, but it adds to it.

because tomas is already such a “hustler” at a young age (from what i presume), im guessing its because he doesnt have a very great home life/might have had the same scenario as rohan, with not really having parents, he must have had to be a liar in the business industry just to make ends meet for himself, and possibly for lyras mother. (now, if you’re wondering why tomas being overall parentless even matters, it doesnt much, but hold on)

now imagine a young, overall alone tomas meets alice hawthorne. she has the money, the reputation, and is like a poor tomas’ dream. now fast forward a bit, tomas might have introduced some patents to her, they might have struck some business deals, whatever. but here’s where things kind of start to change.

as we know, tobias and alice hawthorne arent really know to keep people around. they use others for personal gain for as long as possible, and then they discard them like trash. but lets say tomas finds something out about the hawthorne family. obv i dont know what bc im not a psychic, but its something bad enough to send the hawthorne legacy crashing down. bonus points if he has proof. so, alice had a plan.

alice gave tomas a chance at his dream career; she kept him around for longer after that short period where they had been working together, giving him a taste of the career he had been working towards for months, even years possibly. she built him up, and, if you remember my theory about his rough family, might have even treated tomas like a son, like he belonged in the hawthorne family. basically giving him false hope and love. now, imagine the kind of person great, big alice hawthorne is to tiny pathetic tomas. and then imagine what his reaction was when, all of a sudden, she throws tomas on the back burner. crashes his career right to the ground, cutting off contact with him, shutting his life down so efficiently and effectively knowing that with her name, her status, and her past relationship with tomas, that it would break him. once tomas saw that he was being put back to square one by a woman he thought loved him like a son, by the biggest role model in his life, by alice hawthorne… he crashed. alice didnt even need to plan any sort of assassination; it was like the trash took itself out.

he became exactly what alice hawthorne had wanted him to be as soon as she realized she didnt need him anymore; a speck of dust on the hawthorne family reputation, just another person to exploit. alice knew tomas had had her backed into a corner, so she turned him into every other business man/woman and patent owner who dared to try and work with the hawthornes.

obviously tomas is angry. he realized too late that the person he looked up to the most was faking it all just to make sure her perfect reputation didnt get tainted, but worst of all, hes heartbroken with both himself for believing her, and alice for lying. (and im guessing by now his blackmail/evidence used as blackmail got destroyed/covered up, and couldnt be used by him anymore) so he soughts out his daughter, and, well… we know what happened with lyra.

he wants lyra to have at least one memory with him (even if its a shitty one), especially one with him blaming it on the hawthornes, because he needed her to avenge him, partially because he knew nobody else would. (remember: sucky/absent parents theory) i think him deciding to shoot himself in front of her with vague riddles instead of just explaining what happened to her was also on purpose, because he needed to do something that she, his daughter who’d never even met him, would remember.

i dont know how “what begins a bet? not that” ties into this, but i honestly really did not understand that whole omega thing to begin with lol 😭😭

but yeah thats my theory!! one thing i do want to point out though is that its seemingly very simple, and nothing that the hawthornes do are “simple” in any way shape or form. but i also thought that jlb making it a whole “cult” thing like how people have been speculating on here would be too repetitive, so i thought up this instead 💗💗

[nishitanis-left-nut]

finished LaD. I think Ichiban fixed something in me.

but first of all- took em long enough to give us a majima crotch shot in this game (what hes saying with no context makes this funnier. you gotta go 100 times WHAT)

positives first (im gonna make a separate post with all the more stinky complaining and nitpicking-)

(stinky complaining)

"Once you're at rock bottom, the only way forward is up."

i feel like this is one of those phrases that gets so overused in media that whenever i see it it just automatically reads as insincere and a lazy way of trying to say something profound, and maybe im biased since i was in a place where i needed to hear it, but this time around it didnt feel like that. might have made me cry even. whos to say. the story is pretty self contained and simple (by yakuza standards) and ichiban is a nice man so it doesnt come across as it talking down to you?? the scene feels very encouraging and the lack of mean spiritedness in how ichiban talks and carries himself is nice??? i still feel like they set some things up and then subsequently did nothing with them but eh. i think most of my complaints about this game actually kinda boil down to how they spent the entirety of it teetering in between making it feel like a "yakuza game" and dealing with the new game mechanics and direction and not really knowing how to do both at the same time. eh.

do NOT separate them

this entire last scene gutted me actually. i noticed it back when saeko cries at the club but damn the crying in this game feels so visceral and real like- theyre full on ugly crying on screen. i tried looking back at other crying scenes in past games and the only ones that look and feel like this are kiryus reaction to rikiya getting shot and the nishiki forest scene in y0 (i know the animation is a product of its time too but also specifically with women, comparing sayama crying over ryuji and saeko crying over the soapland owner its like night and day. sayama looked pretty and her tears were barely there, not a grimace or wrinkle in SIGHT, saeko at least was allowed to look "ugly" when she cried) i dont think this scene wouldve hit me as hard as it did if they hadnt made ichi look as distraught as he does (also the vocal performance cuz holly shit? holy shit.)

i knew i was gonna like ichiban, look at him how can you NOT like him? but even while playing the game i didnt think he'd end up leaving that big of an impression on me. but here we are. we really do need more media that revolve around "Adulthood" and how different people cope with and adapt to it, i wish LaD had spent more time on those aspects of the story honestly since with each game it feels like the crime drama parts of it keep trying to get pushed to the backburner, but they still suffocate everything else- no, positives, positives-

im not someone who plays a lot of games so before i picked up any yakuza game id been feeling like Something Was Missing and that something was a piece of media. and then i played yakuza 0 and it was like oh. i guess i live here now. i really do need to start playing more videogames because i feel like its one of the phew mediums where we still constantly get adult protagonists dealing with Adult Things aside from romantic relationships or work without it also just being a parody or a comedy? and it taking itself seriously??

i keep thinking about yakuza 3 and how the game had you be with kiryu as he lived a normal life for a while, it felt like a resting point in his life because, well, it was. and how in yakuza 5 we got to go to work with him and i feel like stuff like that was missing from this game. every domestic and "normal" thing ichiban goes through in this game happens off screen, and for a game thats got friendship and the power of community at its center that feels kind of weird?

not sure how the rest of the fandom feels about y5 and the whole taxi substory and the parts of it you had to do for the main story but i really liked being able to see kiryu get somewhat comfortable in his new environment and do "normal" things. and, as flawed as it is, theres no debating the importance the quiet parts of yakuza 3 had on him and the games that came after it. if y3 hadnt had kiryu interact with the kids as much as it did, if it hadnt had us see how HAPPY he is living with them in okinawa, y5 and y6 wouldnt have hit as hard as their supposed to

in y5 you can even send money to the kids through atm's for christmas presents, and every time you do kiryu sends money thinking of a specific kid and he goes on a small tangent thinking about the things they like and how old they are and sending money according to what he thinks theyll want/need and its like- these are HIS KIDS. he knows their interests he knows their birthdays and even though hes not supposed to exist to them anymore he still wants them to have a good christmas because thats what children deserve thats what HIS children deserve-

i went- kiryu tangent. but back to ichiban, my point was that even in those games where they have the crime drama at the center and are extremely action packed, they still took the time to have kiryu do normal things so when he gets ripped from that you feel it. ichiban didnt get any of that, the crime drama isnt really as all-encompassing as it is in the other games and the "normal" bits of it you gotta hunt down around the map or be TOLD they happened

this was uh, this was supposed to be the Positive Thoughts post so ill get back to that rq. despite all of my barely disguised animosity towards how they didnt balanced the action and the character progressions i really did enjoy the game. i think. i adore ichiban so that counts right? im still real confused about why they established how he can get blinded with rage really easily but then didnt. do anything with that? in fact they kind of go back on it and just have him POSITIVE THOUGHTS POST GRAAAFKASFMPJJO

live laugh love ichiban, i wish the writers loved you as much as i do. i kept calling him a shonen protagonist in other posts because thats kind of the impression i got from him at the start and ive seen other people describe him like that too, but thats not exactly accurate to how he is as a character. hes a really nice person, a stubborn man thats got an idealistic view of the world and wants to make it better so his life and the people in it can be better. i love you kasuga ichiban and i hope whatever happens to you in infinite wealth isnt that bad cuz itll make me sad

who the FUCK are you nick and who do you work for

Reiki.

This was ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous.

She was sore from yesterday, hadn't had much for breakfast, had to deal, and is STILL dealing, with Inuyasha and with the way he kept bothering her and whining about how he didn't want her to return to her time, despite it being WEEKS.

Now she had to deal with bandits, who turned out to be demons. They had had recently abducted Shippo and would only return him in exchange for the jewels shards.

They were clearly low class level demons, going on about how they won't hesitate to kill Shippo, and possibly even eat him. Inuyasha was doing nothing but barking, and Sesshomaru was about to attack but that was when a deafening crack was heard.

All demons in the surrounding area felt a wave of spiritual energy. The young Miko looked enraged, reiki surrounding her as she also tried to keep her powers at bay as to not harm her friends.

"I am his mother!! And a miko for that matter, so if you don't want me to fry you alive, you will do well to let my child go!"

Kagome roared; her voice held power and determination, a tone even her friends had almost never heard her use. Gone was the tender voice of a high-school girl; now replaced before them was a woman, a mother, who was very much willing to attack and protect her child.

The demons didnt have to be told twice as they dropped the kit and fled. Kagome quickly rushed to his side and cradled him as he hugged her tightly with tears in his eyes.

Her suffocating reiki had died down by now, and although one could tell that bringing forth such great amounts of powers could render someone exhausted, especially for Kagome who still had a lot to learn, she kept herself from falling over.

She rose up, kit in her arms, and looked at the stunned group(Sesshomaru being and exception).

"Let's go." She said tiredly, wishing for the day to just come to an end.

Later that evening, Miroku and Sango were sat next to each other, whispering.

"You think so?.." Asked Sango.

"Mhm...think about it." Replied Miroku with a slight grin on his face.

"I guess you have a point...Sesshomaru kind of rubbed off on her." Sango commented.

"All I can say, my dear Sango, is that ever since Sesshomaru-sama came into the group, Kagome-sama seemed to have gained more confidence in herself. Even in her abilities."

Sango only nodded as she looked at her now sleeping friend, with Shippo and Rin, safely tucked between her arms.

The inu yokai in question, was sat at the base of tree in the near distance, eyes closed.

The comments almost made him smirk.

Hey guys, a couple of weeks have passed since my last post. Uni got way out of hand, and it's a period where I have to visit different family members so it will still be some time. Even because once again: 💕💘exams💕💘

Gosh.

But no worries I will always have fun sketched to post even during this exam period(which fortunately won't last as long as the previous one--)

Anyway, enough yapping, I wanted to have some fun and draw Kags in the same manner as Yor from SpyxFamily! Season 1 where she and Anya were going grocery shopping and Yor flipped(As my Queen should).

Hope you guys like it and enjoy, see you guys very soon for the next post(Also, in the next post I will give an update about Comissions and when they might possibly open so stay tuned!)

Side by side view:

[jennrypan]

The Butterfly miraculous is..ridiculously op. That needs to be fixed..quickly. Cuz??? Tikki and PLagg are suppose to be the biggest ones but..Nooroo can just give you any type of power you want at all?? Cmon now.

Rewatching the London Special and uhm— opinions. (Need to write the convo with Tikki and PLagg cuz I’m bored so—) also..why is this opening kinda hard..what tf.

Also does Alix still need to be in the ..circle places? If Gabriels dead, cant she go back to school ? Anyways. “The end of time.” Thats so..funny how casually she said this- great. Anyways fsjsj[ Gotta rewatch this so i can write some shit and crap. (The alcohol is starting to get to me. )

I love exposition. Anyways..Alix reacts more to Adrien and Marinette kissing as opposed to Adriens dad being Hawkmoth which is..interesting. Like?? “I feel bad for Adrien.” Would’ve been great but no, we care more about Marinette getting her prince..ANYWAYS— “Sending his son to London to protect him.” ..Thats not what he was doing let’s not muddy things up here.

I adore Alix design sm..it’s so cute. Anyways. Marinette looks pretty with a long braid, i love it. Anyways.. “So it’s over? Over over?” “Yes. Over over..” LIAR— YOU LIE- ANyways. Kagami you hate liars you— lovely you shouldn’t honor thiiiss.. Marinette had no issue telling Kagami that her mother was a villain but Adrien doesnt get that same agency?? Interesting interesting, anyways-

Im saying anyways anyways. A lot. And ah. Thats why they didnt tell anyone Tomoe was an accomplice. To keep up the lie so Adrien didn’t find out which is..worse i think. I guess that talk with Kagami and her mom didnt go that well cuz shes still being evil??

Gorilla could’ve let him go this entire time— also i just started laughing waaay too hard when she told him Gabriels dead i— it’s not funny it’s just..omg. Adrien has to deal with so much in like an entire day— “Youre father was a hero.” Oh that killed you to say didnt it. I bet. And awe..Gorilla cares about Adrien so much..hes literally the only guardian that deserves to be around him fr. Also Adrien got over his depression real fast after this episode. Like..he doesnt have any more questions about the fight?? None?? Okaaay. Kagami should’ve stayed shady towards Marinette ngl. It’s kind of annoying that Adriens support system is also..Marinettes support system?? Like Natalie is joining with Marinette to keep things from Adrien and so his Plagg.. and it’s just…wow. Adrien literally has no one that wont just clam up cuz Ladybug told them to. Logically the civilians would have several questions cuz how did you not know Hawkmoth ID after all this time?

And when they find out she failed they’d be..pissed off cuz theyve been suffering through this this whole time, you defeated Hawkmoth but you didnt find out who he was and you didnt get the miraculous back? It’d make no sense. All of the Kwami should also be pissed too cuz the current guardian is just as unhelpful as the last apparently.

Wait. Why didnt Plagg go to Adrien as soon as it was over?? I— sure. Ok sure “I did the right thing, right?” NO?? Plagg should be the main one telling her bluntly. Cuz theres a right answer and theres a wrong one and lying to the people you love about something SO important is never the right answer. Plaggs love for his actual holder should override his need to protect Marinettes feelings rn. “I know it was for a good cause.” ..It wasnt though. There’s nothing good about protecting Gabriel and Tomoes involvement in terrorizing all of Paris. If you feel terrible..maybe there’s a reason for that.

I fuck with Chromo bug ngl. The colors are pretty.. bright as hell but pretty.

[i-shouldnt-have-called]

i depend on my friends to stay clean

Paring: Matty Healy x Daughter!reader feat mother George

warnings: angst (it really is as sad as it seems), addiction, rehab, absent parents.

You knew your dad had a problem, and that's why you would stay with your uncles. You didn't understand what the big deal was, for a majority of your childhood your father had been using in some capacity. It just seemed normal, because for you it was. But the older you got the worse his addiction did

It was always a guessing game, would your dad be there to pick you up from school or would your teachers have to call george (whos your emergency contact) to come get you. Thats just the way it had always been. Until it changed. Matty got home one day, late. He was supposed to pick you up from school earlier that afternoon but he didnt show. When he walks in he expects to see the usual sight of you and george in the living room or coloring at the table, but instead he's met with silence, you are nowhere to be found. He walks into the living room and sees george sitting in silence on his phone. 

“W..wheres y/n” matty asks confused

“With adam and carly” 

“Why isn't she here?”

“Why do you think mate, I got a call from her school saying that you didn't pick her up, so I did. I kept calling you and you didn't answer.” 

“I was busy.” Matty looking around the room, trying to find a way out of this conversation.

“I'm tired of this matty, we all are. Your daughter deserves so much better than the bullshit you keep on pulling. She needs stability, she shouldn't have to worry about whether or not her father is actually gonna be her father! You go to rehab or you don't see y/n” 

“Shes my fucking daughter george! You can't just take her because you feel like it. I'm still her DAD!” 

“This isn't ok matty, this could be considered neglect, if the right people found out about this y/n wouldn't be here. I'm not using your daughter as a bargaining chip, I just care about the safety and wellbeing of my niece. I love you mate, y/n loves you, we all do. You need help Matty, you can't keep going like this.” 

“Its not a problem, calm down ya fuckin prick.” Yells matty at george as george storms out of the house. 

George kept his word, you stayed with him or the boys for a week and a half before your father finally gave in. He didn't say goodbye before he left. It didn't start to hurt until the first time he relapsed, you were little before, you thought that him going to rehab was it, that he was just better now. You were older now too, you started to understand the severity of addiction. Before you were just mad and confused, mad that you had to leave your home, and confused on why. But once you had seen your father clean it hurt you to see him any other way. Why the fuck was he living the life when you just had to carry on. You knew rehab wasn't necessarily a vacation and that he needed to go, but that didn't mean that you didn't get to be mad. 

Then your father came home, there wasn't as much excitement from you the second time around. The first time was a big party with your grandparents and the boys. The second time was just you and George (George made you be there). You sat awkwardly on the couch as you nervously waiting for George and Matty to get back from the airport and thought about how many times you would have to do this again, knowing that you couldn't handle another time. The idea of walking out the front door and never coming back is tempting but you decide against it because George would be pissed. Just after you make up your mind the front door opens and in walked George and your father. 

You don't get up from the couch, you simply look at George and your father, George senses the tension and decides to get Matty's other bags from the car. Matty walks into the living room and sits on the other end of the couch. He hesitantly looks at you and says “Hey.”

“Hi, you…you look better”

“I feel better y/n, I really do.” You just nod. George comes back in the house and sets Matty’s bags on the floor next to the staircase and enters the living room. George and your father are the only people keeping the conversation alive, you just sit back and let the two of them pretend everything's ok. About two hours after your father got back, George sensed that you had had enough. You two say goodbye to your father and you get into the car with George

About five minutes of silence into the drive home, you finally speak up.

 “Shouldnt I be happy?” 

“You don't have to be happy. You can be mad, hell you should be pissed. He was supposed to be there for you and he wasn't. Plain and simple. But he's trying, it's not gonna be a straight path. He loves you y/n and he always will. I think you forget that sometimes.”

You don't meet George's eyes and instead opt to look out the passenger side window as you trace the familiar route to what had become your home. As you two drive, you can't help but think of what your father is doing.

Matty was alone in the house, he had to prove that he could stay clean, George wouldn't give Matty another shot unless he knew that Matty was going to keep his shit together. Matty went upstairs to your room, or what was your room. Your bed was neatly made and your drawers were empty, the only way he knew it was yours was the pictures of the two of you on the wall. Matty could tell that you haven't slept here in months. The whole house felt stale. Silence was something that Matty wasn't used to, and he didn't like it. Matty knew that this time it was gonna work, he was never gonna go back to rehab. He was gonna keep his shit together for you.

Truer lies

Its interesting to see Shawn starting to deal with the fall out of pretending to be psychic for so long. I think that would really wear on him after a while, and im glad it did. Personally, as an overachieving teachers pet, i would want credit for all the smart things i did. But yeah, on top of that, it must be so frustrating that he cant just be like “I KNOW WHEN PEOPLE ARE LYING BECAUSE OF THESE TELLS, NOW CAN WE PLEASE JUST DO AS I SAY BECAUSE I KNOW THINGS??” Instead, he has to say its a psychic vibe and people roll their eyes because thats not evidence (fair). Shawn even had to convince gus to trust him this time- actually his plea was more than that. He was asking Gus to believe in him as a person. Like, please trust that i still know where the line is. I doubt he thought this psych stuff would last this long though. I expect he thought it would be a fun 3-6 months just like his dad did (and probably Gus too) but it turns out it never stopped being fun. So, what, like 3 years later-yeah, that has to get to you, and also exhausting, not only because his visions were quite physical in the beginning haha. He’s basically a fraud, and knowing who he is as a person, it has to tear him up inside every time he has to lie, especially to Juliet which we know later really bites him in the ass (which i cant wait for)

Speaking of juliet, i kind of wish she would have stood up for him a little bit with lassie, because he has a pretty good record of solving cases and making them look foolish in the process, despite all the silliness and flair for the dramatics. I kind of get why she’d still be on the fence, but i think she could have explained to him that hey, its not you i don’t trust, its this guy who has a reputation for lying. But i get that for the plot of the episode and for the sake of shawns arc they couldn’t exactly do that. I guess it says something that juliet and lassie did have his back in the end which was great. Like, we don’t always believe ya but we’ll be there anyways ;)

why did they both take this bit seriously though?? Hes clearly doing a bit Lol

Lassie may talk a big talk about hating shawn but he was running those hospital halls right beside jules when they thought shawn was injured ;) he loves him case closed.

What the heck is this thing supposed to be??? I googled old handheld games amd couldn’t find it.

Jumping to lieber being the murderer is kind of just bad detective work?? Like they jumped to that conclusion very fast, and frankly, they should have caught the double shadow. I know this is nitpicky but i couldn’t let it slide. Plus, overall i think its a bit meh, crime-wise. Like i was a bit lost with how lyin ryan fit into all of it and what the original crime was but its still fun. And lyin ryan was a fun character that im surprised didnt make a return too.

P.S Lassie likes a nice mustache. I wonder why he didnt keep his mustache that we saw in the flashback of the first ep?? He could have gone full Magnum P.I. Do you think the ex wife made him get rid of it?

[ecto-hazard]

I just rewatched ii s1 (fucked up right?)

im just gonna make a post compiling some barebones concepts that im curious about. cause with the latest reveal, im wondering how much previous stuff might become relevant.

Obviously this was made years ago by a bunch of kids so its possible that most of the details can be disregarded as random bullshit. It does seem like they put a lot of work in creating retcons though so I have reason to believe theyre building off their previous work on purpose but i could be wrong and thats fair. im gonna post about it anyway tho

ii16 spoilers discussed under the cut

Who Mephone created (or rather, didn't create)

Mephone supposedly made every contestant for the show, but there's a couple vague characters.

Fan: weirdly enough he's in a gray area cause he appears as a background character before s2, but he also glitched out in that one episode, so its unlikely he wasnt created by Mephone. But yknow.

Apple: Apple is a fan character who was submitted to the show, and this is addressed in canon. It's possible that mephone made her and the other fan contestants based on whatever the submitters asked?

Bow: she randomly shows up after an ad read. Mephone doesnt seem to even want her to join, but he receives a call from Adam to insist she join. Mephone seems quite resistant to the idea (which would be weird if he made her?) Most interestingly, she's the only one in this list that Mephone couldn't recover.

Dough MIGHT be one mephone didnt create, but it seems pretty likely that Mephone would create him as he was specifically requested by adam to get bow back. Dough does seem like something he'd throw together really quickly to cover his ass

The reason any of this could be relevant is that if they arent created by Mephone, they probably cant be deleted by Cobs.

Adam

Stuff about Adam (the character not the guy) has been kinda quiet lately? He was supposedly the producer of ii, and pays mephone apparently? He clearly has a role to play since he showed up in one of Mephone's memories and seems to be a creation by cobs. So observing his actions in s1 might be valuable, especially since cobs would be able to manipulate the show through him.

Some notable actions of his:

Insisting on Bow being in the show. This is doubly interesting if Bow isn't one of Mephone's creations. She could be an industry plant of some kind?

Telling Mephone to keep 4S out of the season finale. This is supposedly to keep the finale from going crazy. If Mephone had been successful, he wouldve been killed by Mephone 5. Its possible this was on purpose so 4 could be destroyed and replaced

Investing in another season. at the end of s2, despite things going wrong, he tells Mephone they're going to do another season. He sweetens the deal by offering a raise and agreeing to get Mephone an assistant (Toilet). Cobs clearly got invested in this show, so it makes sense he'd encourage more of it from the shadows.

Mephone 4S

Yeah talking about 4S isn't anything new, the fandom's obsessed with him. I am too.

The implications of Mephone4 being in 4S's body never really got explored in s2. I guess they were similar enough that it didn't really matter. But he clearly still has some relevance in the modern series. One of Mephone's memories shows him getting developed as a replacement for 4, and he actually appears in Invitational, Sorta? Clearly Mephone's bothered by the sacrifice he made.

At the very least, the show's reminding us that he existed, so maybe he still does exist? I don't think he's going to necessarily make a comeback or anything but I dunno. It seems like he might be able to talk to Mephone in his head so maybe there's something to that.

Evil Paper

Im just gonna be upfront that I don't have a dissociative disorder and its not my place to talk about how it works or what is good or bad representation so I'm not gonna get super deep into talking about this. I'm just curious if the team has any plans for addressing Evil Paper. They seemed to make an effort into writing Yin Yang more thoughtfully (whether or not they actually succeeded, again, not my say). I could see them giving Paper similar treatment. If they did I doubt it'd be very plot relevant though.

Is the Taco we got the Taco we were supposed to have?

I've actually seen this conversation circulate a little bit already. This sort of debate could apply to any character really, but Taco is perhaps the most interesting example because she's so involved in the latest episodes AND because Brian actually addressed a tweet about this.

Taco behaves like a goofy idiot for the majority of s1, only revealing at the end that she was faking it so she would make it to the end. She specifically says she was "built to win" (the quote Brian addresses), and shows a much more competent side when she actually competes. In fact if it weren't for Bow's interference, Taco would have won the challenge (another case of Bow being weird).

This all seems to imply that Taco may have been intended to win the series by Mephone. Cobs points out to Suitcase and Knife that Mephone had "high hopes" for them, so it's not unreasonable to say that maybe certain characters were liked over others. Mephone never seems to give special treatment openly, but that doesn't mean that when he made certain contestants he didn't at the very least expect them to do well.

What is highly unlikely though is that Taco was created to be a twist villain. This results in Mephone's death after all (though the activity of Bow and Mephone 5 also could be to blame). Especially since he had pressure from Adam to keep things running smoothly, it just wouldn't make sense that Mephone would specifically create someone to toss a wrench in things. Most likely Taco developed like this on her own accord.

But that also raises the question, if she wasn't meant to be a villain, what was she supposed to be? How much of the taco we have now is the Taco that Mephone created? We don't actually see how he reacts to her "reveal" because he's in the middle of running away from 5. But everyone else clearly never saw it coming. OJ specifically comments that this doesn't seem like "the Taco he's been competing with all this time," and while that's written in reference to her reveal, it also could mean she WASNT the Taco he'd been competing with. We do get a hint or two of her true self in previous episodes, but its possible she wasn't ever supposed to be like that.

I think its possible Mephone4 created her as a goofy goober joke character initially, and over time, she changed. She developed into a more tactful and villainous character with her exposure to the contest.

A few things in the most recent episodes might allude to this. One thing being how in ii15 she discusses how she became aware of how much the contest is changing everyone, herself included. Secondly, in ii16 she tells Pickle that at the time she didn't consider how her actions were going to hurt him. This is a really shitty apology and no excuse for it, but it ALSO could mean that at the time, Taco really didn't think about it. In S1, she claims that she was just using him, but we don't know how aware of herself she was back then. Its possible that there was a past version of Taco who wasn't deadset on winning no matter the cost, and being in the game changed her.

Anyway these have been my slopthoughts. It's like 9 pm and ive been writing this for like an hour. Maybe most of this wont get addressed at all in the series, but I figured i might as well compile it down since I just finished s1

Random ideas for a hypothetical Scavengers (mini) series

So I made a google doc a few nights ago and filled it with random ass ideas for how a cartoony likely-episodic Scavengers series could go... It was around the same time I wanted to get to animating a Scavs-related thing but no promises there or to this ever becoming more than rambles

Anyways... heres an unorganized collection of my silly thoughts:

POST-WAR!! War’s over, Autobot-Decepticon alliance is great and dandy for everyone except of course the folks who got left behind and forgotten by respective High Commands and have had to make their own dealings in space to get thru life and shit; focusing on the daily struggles of your average low of the low genericons/bots, the Scavengers

Optimus and Megatron are definitely married (trust); we go the IDW MTMTE route but instead of Megs off on a quest with Roddy and gang, he’s with Optimus and they both publicly surrender/call truce or whatever on-video and agree to help repair cybertron instead of squabbling, sending a message to all cybertronians taking refuge amongst the stars blah blah blah its time to go home (pilot should open with this i think, set the worldview up straight from the beginning)

It could either be set in the slums of like some populated city or smthn, like maybe Dead End of Kaon or smthn OR… now consider… Set NOT on Cybertron, literally anywhere BUT Cybertron; the Scavs wander space, at least every few episodes or so would be set in a different planet or smthn, having them do their usual shenanigans and (failing) their supply/scavenging runs, as well as the occasional star station too for like a pit stop i guess; there’d be atleast one episode where they go to earth probably

Main characters (scavs duh, but lemme write some shit down here rq):

Krok - the dutiful, ever-patient (one can of engex away from losing it) leader of the Scavengers; he’s the one that usually has the single functioning brain cell

Crankcase - the skillful pilot of the crew’s beloved Decepticon-hijacked Autobot vessel, always in a sour mood, think TFA Ratchet but up the old man crankiness to 500; really good at fixing things (mechanic)

Spinister - a little stupid… all the stupid actually… but he’s got things rattling in there too, don’t worry! The Scavengers’ medic; would probably be Cybertron’s greatest surgeon if it weren’t for everything else

Fulcrum - Defunct?? Rejected?? Something-class Decepticon, a bit of a coward, found in a dumpster by Misfire; he’s a technician too! Score!

Misfire - ideas are about as good as his aim (which is not at all); the really really talkative and social one; rejected Rainmaker/Seeker (bro didnt pass Decepticon Academy, rip)

Additional members that get added to the crew later on!

Grimlock - resident Dinobot and the only Autobot on the crew (for now or smthn idk), thinking of either having them find him during the pilot episode or a bit later on?; i think Krok would definitely have a thing where he’s super wary of him until a big character development episode thing happens like in MTMTE #46

Nickel - hmmm idk yet.. Maybe a former high ranking decepticon officer whose position has been stripped from her the more fucked up and bad the faction ended up becoming because she was very vocal about its problems til the current day? (I just don’t think her being connected to the DJD would work here womp womp)

Flywheels (unsure) - some mech that tagged along with them during one random shenanigans episode

MP3 / or some other new human character (unsure) - they have an episode where they go to Earth and befriend silly human… may or may not keep them, maybe they could be an honorary Scavenger but only appears sometimes or stays on Earth but keeps in touch with the Scavs (look I just think having a human on the crew would be kinda silly and funky for the dynamic)

Meanies to the crew (weekly bad guy):

Novastorm - leader of the Rainmakers; has beef with Misfire

Skullcruncher- Krok hates his guts; he’s the TFA Sentinel to Krok’s TFA Prime, probably served together on like whatever the equivalent of a Warworld ship would be in this

Raiders??? Space pirates??? Idk but I’d def make em be related to Spinister’s past or smthn (this was inspired by some fanfic I read a bit ago, I think Fool’s Paradise on AO3)

Needlenose? (Spin trusted him, betrayed copter boy :((( or smthn)

Scorponok - probably the biggest threat of the show (ofc not in universe), but he’d be like IDW Scorponok in that one Scavs issue, all kinda silly and dramatic but def a threat, he kinda reminds me of Dino/BW Megatron a bit

DJD (absolutely unsure, maybe a passing mention or not at all) - would probably have to sillify them a bit (a lot, idk how the hell Cyberverse managed it with Tarn)...

There's more in the doc but they're not fully formed ideas yet... My countless hours scrolling the Scavengers tags on tumblr have also given me ideas for certain kinds of episodes that could happen but again, nothing concretely written down yet

If I have the energy or remember this, I'm def gonna be updating it with some more ideas cuz whether this becomes real or not, its fun!! Maybe I could write it as a fic one day or if someones wants to idk

Okay bai bai for now, I gotta eep 👋

the mfs that would give you that “you think you’re funny?” Look. Like why do you want to do the try not to kiss challenge?!? Will start saying stuff like “oh you don’t want my luscious lips now?”. TEASING YOU CUZ YOU WERE TEASING HIM. Just don’t do this challenge with him cuz he won’t kiss you back unless you do. (Actually takes this game seriously lol)

“babe let’s do the try not to kiss challenge!” He flashes you the “you think your funny?” Look.

“what is just for fun! Come on!” You kept begging him. To be honest you don’t even know why you want to do the challenge. You are absolutely addicted to his pink rosy lips. But I guess you were just bored and needed some entertainment.

“Don’t cry to me when you want my kisses. Loser pays for the dinner tonight.” You both made a deal before minding your own business. About 3 hours has gone by, and you desperately need his lips on yours. You know you shouldn’t have done this challenge because he kept teasing you with comments.

“bet you miss my lips right now haha too bad..”

“my lip balm be tasting real nice right now. Wanna guess the flavor?”

“my lips be glossy asf!!”

acting all zesty to get your attention😭

Sad to break it to you, you lost the game because after 5 minutes you dashed your whole body on top of his and kissed him deeply. You can feel him smirk into the kiss like “haha I win!”. Pulling you closer as he wrap his arms around your waist.

“I know you can’t resist me. I don’t even know why you even try..”

“Shut up what do you want for dinner..?”

심재윤 Sim Jaeyun + 정원 jungwon

the ones that will participate but will give up 5 minutes in. You will try persuading him to continue but they will start pouting cuz they want to kiss you so bad. Like cling onto you for the rest of the night because you will give him kisses on his face. Yeah they are a big baby when it comes to this.

“love let’s do the try not to kiss challenge!” He doesn’t understand why your so excited for this. Isn’t it suppose to be a horrible thing to not receive kisses? Well too him it is.

“uh..why would we be doing this?”

“Because it’s fun! Let’s see how long we can last okay?” 5 minutes later your lovely boyfriend is now pouting, begging you to stop this challenge because he can’t stand your lips not being on his. He’s so addicted to them he can’t even last 5 minutes without it.

“Please baby I need your lips on mines… is been too long…”

“sweetie is only been 5 min-” he pulls you into his lap before you finish speaking. His lips on yours, tasting your sweet cherry lip gloss that got him so tempted to kiss you.

“You need to stop with all these bullshit challenges cuz what are you tryna do to me…?”

“oh..no-nothing…”

희 승 heeseung + 선우 Sunoo

the ones who just laughs after you suggested it cuz bro ain’t participating in these challenges. HE THINKS IS STUPID. They just ignore you if you keep asking. Will 100% kiss you before you can even start the challenge. They just don’t like doing these type of challenges because he wants your attention 25/8 as well as your kisses so there’s no point.

“Hey love! Wanna do the try not to kiss chall-”

“No. End of discussion.”

“WHAT? I didnt even Finish my sentence.”

“baby you know you will fail so I don’t even know why you wanna try.”

“but-” you got cut off when he smashes his lips against yours. Kissing the corner of your lips before pulling away.

“See you can’t even last 5 minutes if we did the challenge..” now he’s the one laughing because of your shocked expression your face. Totally not expecting him to kiss you out of nowhere.

hi

under the cut i want to talk a little bit, maybe overshare as well. ill try to keep it short (rereading nat here. i didnt). its a sad post, might make some of you angry but not for the reasons you think

i was staying away on purpose, but a few people asked about me so i wanted to let you know that hey, im lurking, im waiting to see what happens. maybe some things will change in the future but im putting it out here so its all in one place

i think i want to start with saying thank you again for sticking around, supporting my art and my thoughts and having discussions with me. i really opened up about myself and what I created here. im very anxious person and it influences my life on every level, so being heard, seeing people laughing at my jokes, loving my art has been so so important to me

about the situation, the gogcident if you will, i logged out as soon as i saw things going down and been getting updates though different source. and while situation is still on going and i dont know where it will go, as how it ends, theres two or three things im firm on that will always be true for me:

i really hate how believe all victims turns into believe everyone who speaks first, no matter what they say, no matter context, no matter proof. the first statement made in this case was untrue in a lot of important details and while i dont think caitis feeling are wrong or invalid i think her first statement made this situation into something it isnt. i think every victim should be heard but attacking everyone who was accused right away is not a solution

i do believe that everyone who was accused of anything has every right to defend themselves. the way its constantly taken away from dteam is not lost on me and its insane and upsetting

you can be traumatized by the events that werent in its core meant to be traumatizing. sometimes people act shitty and leave scars on you and sometimes you can do the same to other people

edited note bc i want this to be here as well: guilty until proven innocent is a crazy mindset and i cannot imagine situation that i would allow it. some idiots dont even realise how dangerous rhetoric that is. including accusers not being obligated to provide any proof of their claims

twt is the worst thing to deal with any discourse, misunderstanding or any delicate situation. i think no ones there cares for any victims period. i wish that place the worst

okay so what now. i havent decided yet. georges and dreams moves so far confirmed for me that no matter what happened it wasnt with malicious intentions. ill wait to see how this plays out and then ill decide about my next steps. one think i did for sure is i uninstalled twt from my phone (and that already bit my ass the moment dream started his space…) that part of fandom, both people who like (liked?) and hate dream is so damn self-destructive, toxic, manipulative and performative it wasnt worth it anymore. for here, i dont know yet. i dont hate dteam, i think this is very unfortunate and sad and complicated situation that left people very deeply hurt. and i wish it wasnt this way and im pretty sure dteam also wish that. but they cant change it and i cant change it even more

now this is something i dont really know how to tell you but let me try. i never mentioned this bc when i had those realizations, it was too late, everyone moved on and i felt stupid for dwelling on this. i feel stupid now, typing this. the thing is, drituation left me quite traumatized. fucking pathetic, i know. the sudden explosion of fandom left me really badly hurt. i lost a lot of people i genuinely believed to be friends with, and i miss them dearly. i felt, fuck it, still feel deeply betrayed by some of them. i dont want people guess who is who thats not the point, those people moved on long time ago. but that hurt has been really difficult to deal with, especially since realistically i know its quite stupid. crying over some people who were following me back for a few months? but i tried to let myself heal and grow love for this community again and i thought we will be okay. drituation felt like the end of the world but we got through it and I thought we are smarter. and well. im not trying to blame anyone or even a whole community, idk maybe i want to blame the universe for putting me here or society for working this way i dont know. but im hurting and i need to find a better way to deal with things going the wrong way. and it deeply upsets me but im afraid that i have to learn how to love you all less. and i honestly dont know yet what that means, how moving forward will look like. i dont have to make this decision now so i let myself stay away from social media for a while still and then go with presented situation the best i can. i dont try to make anyone responsible for my wellbeing i want to make this clear. im just trying to share my feelings and give you context for whatever happen in the nearest future. no matter what i need more healthy relationship not even with ccs but with community itself (and if you see me rebloging hazbin hotel fanarts. spare me...)

in this place i do want to state that no matter what i dont think dteam are bad people. im not closing myself at possibility of participating in the fandom, probably less though things i mentioned earlier. but if any of those things make you uncomfortable in any way, feel free to unfollow/softblock

im leaving my askbox open if anyone has anything to say, add, or idk, scream at me. not sure if i answer any tho. also if i delete this post in the next 10 minutes out of embarrassment then well, haha

on the final note i want once again thank you all for supporting me when i needed help for my cat. you all did something amazing, something i will never forget and i wish to hug everyone of you in person. thank you

see you around. one day. maybe tomorrow maybe in 10 days. idk

and if you are moving on in different direction, if we ever meet again, dont be a stranger
