911 ep 701 first watch reactions

(I don't think I have the energy to write proper Buddie meta, so here's me randomly squealing instead...)

LMAO In case you were wondering whether s7 of 911 will be subtle about their gratitude/debt to ABC for saving the show, the answer is a resounding no.

Also, I have lost a lot of respect for Frank as a shrink, but gained a lot of love for him as a sass king. "Did she win!?" The murderous look Athena gave him was priceless. I love her, too. She doesn't even need words to rule.

Man, nooooo. Don't give me a mutual "I love you" between Bobby and Athena like that.

"Go ahead and cut the green wire." Everyone and their sister: "Green? You said Red."

9-1-1 is the superior comedy they slipped into our drink, while we were here for our weekly action, suspense, drama and familial love.

Buck broke off with Natalia, and the show really did it like that. XD Every single person who rolled their eyes at this pairing during s6, we were all justified, but wow. The show really is the only forum to respect the pair even less than fandom does. And of course we find out about it in the middle of a scene built around Eddie being half naked, Buck watching him, with the camera specifically turning so we can discover Buck was initially covered by Eddie's body, and the angle change reveals him, when the whole thing wraps up with Eddie welcoming Buck back to the land of the living... Yeah, wonder what made Buck feel alive again. Don't know. 'Tis a mystery. We were given zero clues...

"I want the honeymoon life." *cries* Chimney is just such a good, good man. And okay, expecting your whole life to be a honeymoon's a bit unrealistic, but Madney are living together and they have a child. They know this. Chim knows this, but he still wants to go for it. Aim for the moon, you'll at least land among the stars, right?

Bobby baffled by Athena's reaction to Norman and Lola is hilarious.

I like how Chim has a great idea, but it's still obvious that it's gonna go wrong, because he can't help going overboard with it...

OMG, that scene with Eddie recounting to Buck what Christopher's date was like... If I were to write my Buddie meta, I would serve a three course meal just from that. I mean, the fact that watching Chris hanging out with a girl he likes, makes Eddie compare it to "hanging out with his guy friends" (when there's no lack of interest in this girl... in fact, it turns out that if anything, Christopher's problem is the opposite of a lack of interest) is so telling. There's a reason why that's where Eddie's mind went.

But then also... Eddie's trust in Buck got to me, the way he went to his best friend (not his own gf) for help with Chris. But that was still played with half a smile. But then Buck sort of disses himself jokingly, and Eddie won't have it. "You didn't end up like you." He sees how Buck worked on being a better person, even when Eddie wasn't there for the worst of it, and he appreciates it, and won't let Buck forget it. Meeeep. I love them.

Oh Chim. I was giving you so much credit, and then you went and bought that outdoors jacuzzi. lol Still love him. That's what Maddie's reminding herself of right now, too. ;p

Poor Hen, she was great in this ep, but none of it was really about her, she was comic relief, both with Chim and with the red wire. Then again, she was amazing in this, like she always is with everything.

Eddie and Buck were both so good with Chris this ep, MY HEART. Buck with getting him to talk about what's really bothering him, and Eddie with realizing exactly what his son needs, and how to give it to him. They completed each other. Neither one would be helping Chris without the other one. Tell me again how they're not soulmates?

In conclusion, I love Bobby saying, "Let's go prove one of us wrong," when they're both right. Something WAS going on with Norman and Lola, AND Athena was using them to avoid him.

Argh. That scene of the ship and its passengers being hijacked was rough to watch. </3 I'll still be here to watch the conclusion of this. That's the power of 9-1-1 for you.

It def felt like a great kick to the new season. We had lots of comedy and fun, some great tension, some emotional moments (especially with Christopher), but all in all, it's still clear that the whole thing's a build up to next week. Are you excited?

[evita-shelby]

Is it possible if you to do a story for pesky blinders, where Tommy’s now ex girlfriend is back, after leaving during the night before he went off to war because she had found out she was pregnant.. and with being back she was sneaking around until she ran into Polly and then eventually runs into tommy..

Sorry if none of that makes sense lol

thank you and you make perfect sense.

To your credit, you do not panic when you find Polly Gray bouncing three-year-old Charlie on her knee.

“Looks exactly like him, it’s a wonder no one’s caught on yet.” The older woman said as she continued to play with her great-nephew.

You had left when you learned you were pregnant and that Tommy ---instead of talking this out with you like an adult--- signed up with his brothers and neighbors and formed their own battalion.

You had been angry and because neither of you left an address to write, he was entirely unaware of little Charlie. That was until Polly spotted you in church and followed you to the Patch. There she discovered your son, and you already know that she will tell his father and ‘set this right’ by having you marry the fucking coward who chose to die in France instead of talking to you.

“If someone has to tell Tommy, it has to be me.” You say and she nods shrewdly.

“Of course, sweetheart. If anyone must tell Tommy he’s got no foot to stand on, it’s the mother of his child.” Polly agreed, confirming the gossip about Ada and Freddie you’ve heard from your kin.

You plan for it, you rehearse the words you must say and yet your courage fails you when you see him struck dumb by the sight of the barmaid one Sunday after mass.

He has moved on; the blonde miss won’t like the idea of him having a bastard and he would deny his own son if it got him the aloof posh girl playing the barmaid with a heart of gold.

And yet, he sees you from behind the woman and calls out to you instead. “Y/N.”

 “Hello, Tommy.” All your words fail you when he sees his blue eyes reflected in his son’s. For a moment, the world disappears and only you three exist. “Can we talk?”

A/N 9/11/2023: the fic is sadly completed. I don’t know if i will ever come back to it. Ending is up to you guys

The Songbirds Backstory

For @vesuviaweekly's prompt of many questions which I figured would be a good chance to finally hammer in the Songbird's backstory (my three sibling apprentices). Is this post going to be for me mostly? Probably, but I enjoy being creative and it's been sitting in my brain for a long while. So...yeah...(lol)

P.s. I have a bit more to this that goes into the game and beyond but Lord Tumblr only has so much space so I probably will have to post that at a later date.

Before the game even began...

Nightengale Fae, a student studying magic under her mentor Aunty Agatha, meets Arthur Dupont, the second son of a well-known magical family (with some dark ties to shadow magic). Against the wishes of both family and mentor, Nightengale and Arthur fall in love and get married in secret. To escape Arthur’s family, they flee the city.

Nightengale and Arthur settle on a small island only fishermen seem to know about called Dunlet, where there a small port town by the name of Winterville. Nightengale sets up shop as the town’s resident healer while Arthur took over the lighthouse which became their home.

They had their first child Robin, who seemed to have a magical talent right away. Robin seemed to draw magic from both his parents though Arthur told him never to use Shadow magic which was a specialty of Arthur’s family. Robin, wanting to make his parents happy agrees and instead focuses on light magic like his mother.

A few years later Nightengale discovered she was pregnant again, this time with twins. But Arthur got news that his brother wanted to meet with him to discuss family business. Scared of what his brother and/or family might try if he didn’t go Arthur decided to go, asking Robin to take care of everyone while he was gone. He never returned and is presumed dead.

Nightengale now on her own had trouble carrying the twins, Sparrow and Lark who nearly died in the birth. Robin, somewhat unknowingly, used his magic to save them, connecting them for the rest of their lives.

The kids grow up on the island with their mother, enjoying life and being together. The town folk help out by watching them as a thank you to Nightengale and her taking care of them. Robin was very grown up even at a young age, trying to help his mother as much as he could. He dreamed of traveling like his father but always felt the need to stay close to his family.

Sparrow grows into a smart young lady, who was nobody’s push over as she was always incredibly determined (which Lark later calls stubborn). She also enjoys the stories from the sailors, and they will often bring her books to read, her favorite being romantic stories of pirates and sailors.

Lark was noticeably quiet, often hiding behind his sister and letting her talk. He enjoys learning about animals though he also spends a good amount of time in bed as he was often sickly. Robin and Sparrow were always there to entertain him and they mostly play together because there are rarely any children on the island except them.

Robin has a dream one night of playing on a beach and meeting a blond-haired boy about his age. This is his first meeting with Asra in the magic realm though he doesn’t remember it when he wakes up.

One day a stranger arrives on the island that everyone is wary of. It turns out to be Arthur’s brother Bertrand and he has come to find his brother’s family. He tricks Nightengale into leaving the kids alone and tries to kidnap the twins. Robin intervenes and manages to wound Bertrand before he is wounded himself. Nightengale is able to intervene and save them.

Nightengale takes all three kids to the magic place where Robin is healed and Nightengale strikes a deal with the Magician. She offers her magic for the power to protect her children from their father’s family as she knew that she could not do it alone. The Magician warns that giving up one’s magic would mean death for one such as herself, but Nightengale knows it would be the only way to protect them. Robin and Asra agree to meet before they are sent back, and the children wake to find their mother gone.

A family friend takes them to Vesuvio where they are to live with a still bitter Aunt Agatha (she holds a grudge for a long time). Agatha begrudgingly takes the kids in and starts to build their talents in magic finding each other them being talented in various forms (Robin- Storm, which is water and light magic, Sparrow- Spirit which is connected to the heart and feelings of others with a little fire and ice, Lark- Living which is connected to nature and the world). She remains their caretaker for a couple of years before she has to take ‘retirement’ leaving them the shop and all that resides inside. The three struggle for a bit, trying to figure out how to run things on their own but somehow manage.

On the eve of the celebration of the arrival of the new empress, the family meets Asra, a tarot card reader who they adopt as one of the family. Realizing Asra’s innate magical talent, Robin begs Asra to help him teach the twins. Asra agrees and moves in with the family. Not long after Asra and Robin begin dating. Their life is happy, though Asra often times disappears for lengthy periods of time leaving Robin feeling once again abandoned and frustrated at being the only one who stays.

Sparrow and Lark as teenagers start to discover themselves. Sparrow struggles with romantic love and self-love as she goes through many love interests (of all genders). Her longest romance is with a man named Freddy who promises marriage but ends up sailing away. She is still incredibly defensive of her family earning her the nickname ‘Guard Dog’ which she both loves and hates.

Lark is dealing with his gender identity as well finding his voice. As he gets older, he comes out of his sister’s shadow and discovers that he can be strong, though he still deals with anxiety and worry. He tries to hide his feeling behind a cocky attitude and pranks which are the bane of everyone’s existence.

As the plague sets in, they are determined not to lose their home again, even at Asra’s insistence that they run. Robin and Asra have a massive argument with ends with Asra leaving and Robin feeling regretful.

Sparrow, wanting to help, gets a job with a local doctor, Julian. She learns much in her time with him and develops a bit of a crush on the doctor (though it wasn’t the right time for either of them). She ends up getting sick and travels to the Lazaret. In the Lazaret Sparrow tries to use the skills she had learned from Julian to make people more comfortable before succumbing to the plague herself.

Lark, angered by his sister’s death, went to Julian in furious anger, blaming him for everything. He was taken to the Lazaret, alone and scared, wishing he could go back to being happy again.

Robin was the last to go, lost without Asra or his siblings. Before his death he managed to visit Asra in a dream, trying to apologize for what had happened and to say goodbye. This spurred Asra to return to Vesuvio, but it was too late.

Years later Asra managed to take a hold of the spell that would bring back the Songbirds (by hijacking it from Lucio lol), but it wasn’t strong enough to bring back all three and it was impossible to bring back just one. Wanting to fix all the pain, Robin sacrificed most of his magic weaking himself severally but allowing the Magician to bring back him and his siblings. They all awoke in their home, unaware of their deaths and having very scattered memories of the past.  

So it begins...

[juniorig0327]

Thinking about godswap AU (one last time because I already have three AUs I want to write and I need to get my thoughts together.

I had to think a lot about this not gonna lie. Because one thing about godly parents in PJO is that godly parents influence a child's personality quite a bit (which I personally don't like but whatever). And it's kind of limiting on what I could do. I think if I do actually write this it would be following the canon (simply because it's the easiest to do and I don't have to think a lot lmao). So I guess I could go over the cast and what I think their godly parents would be. (Part 1 because I've officially decided).

Percy - Now as for Percy I've been thinking about it as much I lowkey wanted to do Zeus!Percy I don't think I'm going to. I just grown to not like the idea. I think I'm just too attached to Percy being a son of Poseidon lol. I have been recently swayed by Hades, Nemesis, or Hephaestus as his godly parents for some reason.

Now I HAVE been thinking possibly doing like something based on this fanfic I read where Percy was the child of ALL of the big three kids cuz Sally slept w/ Zeus Poseidon and Hades but I don't think I'd do something that crazy. (I also thought about Orion and how he was made and eugh).

I'm so indecisive and it's lowkey showing.

I do have a slight HC I might use to make this work for my self indulgent reasons (godswap AUs are purely for my self indulgence borderline crazy stuff so). Anyways the HC is that the Jackson family is actually intensively connected to the godly world and pantheons (specifically Greek and like Aztec). So he just has a bunch of randomly godly bloodline from like everywhere. So maybe he's like Frank and has a godly gift from Hades.

Poseidon and Nemesis would be his two (mamma mia) godly parents, Nemesis appearing to a bitter Sally after Poseidon just- left. And maybe Percy is just a legacy of Hephaestus (demigod Sally??) and instead of Leo, Percy got his fire (thinking it would be a post Mt. Helens thing after seeing his grandson nearly die he decides to give him a gift and help him out.) That's also him slowly discovering Hades gift on Calypsos island (and possibly staying much longer than expected while he tries to figure out what the hell is going on).

Annabeth - Okay so for Annabeth I actually have two candidates: Apollo and Prometheus. Apollo is the God of Knowledge which makes since and I feel like her godly gift instead of it being a cap it would be like a special bow and arrow or something (not sure).

As for Prometheus, he's the Titan of Forethought and Fire (Kinda?). I feel like it would make the dynamic between Luke and her interesting especially when she gets claimed and everyone's wary of her because of her connections to the titans and Luke. Maybe her being able to see glimpses into the future (in certain situations, maybe only her own plans?) Nothing too ridiculous. Maybe she can only see possibilities or maybe only the forethought only applies to herself and can only applies to others the more she knows them.

Despite this I'm actually leaning towards Apollo (not because I want to make this as easy as possible for me to write). But I feel like Annabeth being shunned and people being wary of her doesn't fit her so I'm thinking Apollo (maybe having her Patron being Athena??)

Grover - Now this one on the other hand idk. Demeter!Grover sounded sort of cool but I'm not sure. I kind of wanted to give him a godly parent but I feel like it takes away from his whole Pan arc which was his main arc so now I'm not so sure. Might keep 'em a Satyr.

Luke - Now I actually got this from a poll of a post but Hades!Luke or Dionysus!Luke is definitely interesting. I feel like it would change the dynamic of Percy and Luke completely, especially hades. It would also require some tweaking of the prophecy which it would not be necessarily the next child of the eldest gods but just the one that fits the mold I guess? Noticing how it also fits the evil hades stereotype for his kid to be the bad guy lol. Hades possibly refraining from claiming him until maybe like right before his quest with a smug look on his face but Luke just ends up doing... nothing. And he's sort of pissed at Luke because "wdym you're not the child of prophecy??"

Ethan - Still going with Zeus for this. I really liked my Zeus!Ethan idea so I want to stick with it for sure (https://www.tumblr.com/juniorig0327/760067385645580289/zeuspercy-and-possible-siblings?source=share)

Nico (& Thalia because I don't really have any ideas for them yet) - Ah yes, Nico and Thalia. Now there's a few reasons I sorta don't have an idea for them.

One, they're godly parents are sort of dependent on Percy. Two, I feel like a huge part of their characters are being big three kids (unless i exploited the loophole in the prophecy and having the elder gods be The Big 3 + Demeter, Hera, Hestia + Aphrodite??)

Hypothetically if I did do that though I'd probably make Nico a child of Aphrodite with slight water affiliation or maybe have him embody the war-like epithet.

As for Thalia, I think if I kept Percy a son of Poseidon, Thalia would have to be a daughter of Zeus. The only other big three kid I could see her being is a Poseidon Kid to be honest.

That's it for my rambling (for now). Just uh, ignore all the other godswap posts maybe? (I kinda dont want to delete them).

Hopefully my last post for today (I've been saying that to myself alot today lmao).

[noodle-anime]

just! finished saiyuki og series!!! discovered the first resurrected edition volume recently and it has been. well. it's been a journey lol

oooooooooh boy there sure was some Anatomy and Proportions happening in the first volume but it was super fun to see the art style progress actually. it encouraged me to notice more complex poses and things in the later volumes, and when there was an occasional repeat panel like Sanzo and Goku's first look it was very cool to see the difference in quality.

i have a coupla favorite panels/spreads and generally tried to pay a little more attention to how things are precisely laid out and it was a fun aspect of reading. i want to do some actual breakdowns now, maybe compare early and later layouts.

also! i discovered and watched zeroin! my first intro to saiyuki was discovering reload blast forever ago. the art style in zeroin and the fact that there's a whole set of characters i'd never heard of before made it feel like an au or semi-canonical anime movie, sorta, but i enjoyed it So much and there are some specific notes on sanzo characterization that i want to dig into

sanzo is my fave and the kami-sama arc was So Very Good in that respect but it also grew my love for gojyo three sizes.

the way that they all react when gojyo leaves cracks me up so much. they're So Offended. something so funny and also so tasty that they will not under any circumstances admit out loud that they care about gojyo and miss him so instead they're like we are going to Hurt Him (because he hurt us) for Disrupting Our Daily Routine (he's a fundamental part of our lives) and FORCING us to turn this car around (he left with the full knowledge and expectation that they would follow through with actually continuing to pursue this Very Important job like they always said they would)

mmmmm gojyo's savior complex mmmm it's good.

got blasted by the idea of gojyo and hakkai starting an orphanage when they're done with the mission. hakkai was a teacher and still models himself as a "childcare professional"/co-parent to goku and gojyo wants to save somebody So Badly. also good luck resocializing goku to not be killing people/fighting for his life every other day for Two Entire Formative Teenage Years, helping kids and not having it backfire spectacularly in his face would be good for him

i just read the fourth volume so that's most of what i've got on my mind, i know i have More thoughts from the other volumes

besides the fact that sanzo's joints are gonna/have gotta be So Fucked Up. he really is a grandpa. poor guy.

feels good to nail some characterization aspects like genjyo "i'm a coldhearted bastard and you'd better stay out of my way" (developed coping mechanisms to deal with the traumatic loss of a parent and people repeatedly Attacking Him at an early age) sanzo, cho "yes i'm the wife/mother, please excuse these skeletons, the cleaver is only for special occasions" hakkai, sha "i'm the only one here who understands how to be a normal person" (he does not but he does have the highest emotional intelligence) gojyo, and son "i'm a teenager" (he's a teenager, also growing up with the aforementioned trio as parental/familial figures and starting to come into his own!!) goku

not a single one of these men has had a normal relationship or even prolonged interaction with a woman

i had no idea there was a whole brainwashing segment with kougaiji?? and i really want to see more of lirin, there are fun parallels there to explore that i really wanna dig into

i had no idea to what level sanzo was a bastard gremlin with a gun who just Happens to also be the highest of high priests before and now that i do it delights me. the very hypocrisy of his acceptance in his position disgusts him because He Is Not Priest Material but also it's what his dad wanted for him so fuck everybody who tries to take that from him. in any other situation he'd be the shady penniless vagabond gun for hire but koumyou happened. and now we all get to enjoy it.

[venvellan]

i haven't seen much chatter abt it before, so i genuinely hate and roll my eyes at the painfully optimistic post-trespasser ending scene. the one with everyone looking over the mountainside after the exalted council.

the inquisitor spent All Fucking Day almost dying. the anchor getting progressively worse, being hounded by teagan and that slimy duke prosper's son, having to deal with an imminent qunari plan to conquer the south in the MIDST of two separate nations trying to tear the inquisition apart, and discovering such corruption within the inquisition that solas tells us that opposing spies were literally tripping over each other. in some cases, the inquisitor has to fucking kill the iron bull that day!!, and then keep trudging along while the anchor overloads and explodes every, like, minute? maybe? which absolutely could have been fatal any time it happened. and then, on death's door, suffering constant agony, they stumble through the last eluvian to learn that solas fully intends to destroy the world, and in his last act of kindness, he takes the anchor and saves their life. except now the inquisitor has no way to manipulate the veil like before, none of the power that got them to this position, and solas has the exact thing he needs to destroy the world. oh, and the extraction of the anchor leaves them suddenly disabled. better than every alternative, of course, but definitely not in the inquisitor job description.

by some incredible luck, or by just being unkillable, they get back to the exalted council, having saved all of thedas (again, for fucks sake), and use that to keep the inquisition together, or dramatically and immediately disband, which either leaves them the task of regaining control of a rapidly destabilizing organization, or jobless title-less and powerless, respectively

at this point, the pressing issue in my mind is that solas has revealed his plans to them, taken the very last thing he needed to put those plans into action, and left with "that should give you a few years of relative peace" and "live well, while time remains" as if the real message there isn't "oh yeah i'm def still gonna kill everyone in three-ish years give or take. lol, have fun while you can"

and, of course, how could i forget, sometimes that ancient unbelievably powerful mage that intends to destroy the world and kill everyone is your fucking ex boyfriend

the ending i think would be appropriate is something fearful and anxious. tense uneasiness in the advisors, uncertainty hanging thickly and painfully in the air, followed with a nice pick-me-up scene with their romance, or varric, if none apply (i'm sorry solavellaners, the heartbreak just does not end w yall). there's a chance for some real heart to heart!! give us extra dialogue, the chance to open up and really be vulnerable. THEN you can cut to the scene of the inquisitor and advisors planning where to hunt solas down, sinking the knife into the imperium on the map, fade out, roll credits

but tonal continuity doesn't mean much, i suppose, bc what we GET is the Whole Gang smiling happily into the sunset patting each other on the back for a job well done, when we've just gotten some of the worst news inquisition has EVER delivered to the player

it feels like if after leandra had died, instead of receiving concern and gentle well-wishes, we got a cutscene of hawke and friends playing beer pong and doing the cupid shuffle, with absolutely no down time. mom dead, dance party!!1! i wonder what we could possibly have to be upset about rn

i went on longer than i meant to, but.. seriously i hate that damn cutscene

[sorushing]

Okay Okay Sorusing you've got me intrigued: What is FLY?!!!!

thanks for asking @sanfangirl !!! It’s my favorite things ever: superheroes, secret identities, and Hiccstrid. and modern AU, of course.

(So, FLY was the title I picked after seeing one of those motivational posts of it being an acronym for “first love yourself”. In the original iteration of this AU, it used to be more important, but the actually flying is also important lol. It’s not really that good of a title anymore but eh.)

—

This is my superhero AU (“really, not much to know” is actually the AU of this AU) in which Astrid is training to be a superhero sidekick at school. Her family name is disgraced, so she cannot become a “solo” hero without lots of extra work in college. She has extremely good control over her water powers.

in this universe, everyone born in “The Above” (artificial flying islands above th earhipelago after a war) is born with something called a “karyon”: a mark/bead on the neck that grants them powers by using a particle called dust.

I have an entire 10 minute explanation on dust that is plot-relevant but I’m skipping it right now for brevity’s sake

one day, she is confronted with an odd situation: a vigilante who’s powers don’t work how powers SHOULD work, fighting a new kind of villain that recently popped up. He doesn’t have a karyon, and neither do these new villains who seem to permanently be beserk and incapable of human speech or thought.

after this odd meeting, she wakes up in the middle of the night, outside her house, after having an odd dream, and her powers are…off. Instead of water manipulation, she can now fire off odd spikes…and why can she smell so well?!

—

She eventually discovers more about the situation: these new villains are people controlled by a villain that the vigilante - whom she’s dubbed “black” - calls “The Queen”, and are being hypnotised to do her bidding.

she eventually agrees to help him out, and joins him in his fight against her, since the heroes aren’t doing anything about the situation and she knows they won’t budge any time soon.

The vigilante calls himself “Night Fury” which as her laughing at first: him? Name himself after the unholy offspring of lightning and death that all of the Seven Families boasted to have survived encounters with?

But then she realised that his powers fit the creature to a T: the lightning. The super speed. She invisibility.

and then, more puzzle pieces click. She’s somehow gotten the powers of a Nadder. All of these new villains are dragon themed…so the Queen must have some obsession with the ancestral dragons.

things spiral from there.

—

on hiccup’s side of things, life isn’t looking great at all: the only person in the above who doesn’t have a karyon.

he has three and they all don’t work properly at all. They even cause him so much harm that he had to undergo surgery to get one removed.

His father is the shining beacon of his family, the leader of the Seven, superheroes of epic proportions who are gods among men, essentially.

his mother is Skullcrusher’s second in command who has control over the Alpha Matrix, a device that monitors all superpower usage. (And a certain kind of superhuman but shhh he doesn’t know that)

and then, there’s him, Hiccup. he’s just a screw-up. He is not worth of either family name and knows the other relatives in the council are dying to kick him out and leave him nameless. To make him a nobody.

So it doesn’t surprise him in the slightest when his father sends him to live with his aunt to avoid the media.

hiccup knows it’s to hide the fact that his son is weak, or that he even HAS a son, but alas.

-

when hiccup was young, a supervillain did something to his karyons. Hiccup knows better than to ask which villain.

For whenever he asks; his father or mother just shake their head or freeze, clearly not wanting to talk about it.

he knows his karyon was messed up by a villain, and someday? Someday he WILL find out which villain and give him a piece of his mind. —

things don’t exactly begin to look up once the dreams start.

dreams in which is body doesn’t ache whenever he gets into contract with high concentrations of dust.

Dreams in which he can freely leap across rooftops, dreams in which he is fighting villains effortlessly from afar with his lightning powers - well not completely effortlessly, but still!! - and shows great mastery over his lightning and super speed-

powers which he doesn’t have. At all.

or…does he?

things derail further once a certain blonde girl in blue begins to pop up in his dreams, stubborn, fierce, and…wait isn’t that his classmate?!

-

also another fun fact: Gothi is a tattooist in this AU.

—

eventually, the other dragon riders would show up…but I’m not that far yet.

———

this is my oldest au and the one that has been reworked the most.

anyways I think I should stop here before I type an entire essay. Thanks for asking :D

[princecharmingtobe]

I have grown very attached to my current rimworld colony, so I decided to make them in Hero Forge. I've even come up with a backstory for the starting three.

Starting with Daniel. Daniel had a pretty normal and peaceful childhood. In his early adulthood he ended up working as a midwife. It was then that he started wearing dresses, as he thought pretending to be a woman would make those giving birth more comfortable. He found he liked them, and so still wears them from time to time. The ears are a new development. We found a chest with a magic potion in it and he drank it and that happened lol

Crane worked her way up to knighthood, but lost everything but her title to war. She became an adventurer trying to regain what she lost. It was during this time she met Daniel, on his way to a neighboring village in need of a midwife. She was also heading in that direction, so they journeyed together for safety. And good they did, because they found trouble, but together fought it off. Daniel found he liked the thrill of battle, and after doing what he set out to do, he asked Crane if she would allow him to continue traveling with her. The two got on great, and became a professional adventuring duo.

Many years later the duo came upon a merchant's cart being attacked. They swooped in to help, but were only able to save one person: Andy, the merchant's teenage son. Though they offered to escort him home, he insisted there was no one there waiting for him, and wanted to stay with them instead. Not being the most responsible adults in the world, they agreed and he joined them. Shortly after this the trio did some tomb raiding and found a mysterious tome. Andy read it, and was forever changed, gaining the power of a necromancer.

Daniel and Crane, now in their 40s and 50s, found that they were getting a little old for the adventuring life on the road, and Andy suggested they could build an inn. The two of them could work out of it, having a proper base to rest at between adventures, and he could stay behind and run the inn. After all, he'd learned much in the way of business from his father.

That was the plan, but it hasn't gone as expected... While still in the process of building the trio were attacked by a bandit, who got a couple lucky shots on Crane, who lost both a hand and a leg in the battle. This slowed things down. They (by which I mean me) underestimated the climate of the place they had settled in. Winter came on fast, and food has been a struggle. On the bright side, some tame trolls wandered in and Crane has trained them up well, and now rides them around everywhere and into combat. She also has a cursed sword! It's great for killing people, but causes her constant pain to wield.

Around the end of fall a phytokin, plant woman, named Pomegranate found the inn while being chased by an ogre. The ogres had kept and protected her in return for advice and guidance, as they aren't particularly smart. But when some of her advice ended poorly they accused her of betrayed them and attacked. It was a hard fight, but the party took down the enraged ogre still chasing her and accepted Pomegranate into their group. Her connection with dryads has proved useful.

There's really not much to say about Tsu. She found the inn on her own and asked to join the party. She's a grumpy, man-hating dvergr (a type of dwarf) who none the less has been helpful. She'll really pull her weight once we discover smithing, as she is a master crafter.

And lastly, Squint. Ignore the slave yellow of his name... He was being sold by slavers who passed by. We didn't have the manpower to fight them, so we bought the child and are working on convincing him he's not a slave anymore XP And only after did we learn he's a pyromancer! He doesn't have very good control over his power yet, and has already set the storage shed on fire once while trying to defend against some rabid snow hares...

So yeah, this is The Adventurer's Guild, my beloved medieval fantasy colony.

[aquanthis]

wheres the aquanthis infodump 🤨🎤

them's fighting words brother i have more aquanthis infodump material than you can handle

you aren't even READY for this critter, baby

alright let's go

(CW: childhood abuse, neglect , transphobia, severe eye injury)

Archdruid Aquanthis Stormrage: Vengeance Incarnate; Nahlen'do, Master of the Fang; The Beautiful One

alternatively known as the guy with too many fucking titles. god help me. the basics are: he's a balance druid, an archdruid, wields the scythe of elune, bisexual, transmasc nonbinary, and has the reborn soul of an ancient wild god. in no particular order. lol

now you may be wondering: stormrage? well let me tell you about the fucked up son of tyrande and malfurion. (sorry in advance to any tyrande likers who may be reading this for some reason but i'm about to character assassinate her so hard lol <3)

aquanthis was born about three thousand years ago. you may be wondering, "wait, wasn't malfurion asleep?" and my very easy answer is "mostly, but he did notably wake up a few times and i've thought about this and i choose not to elaborate". however! he was not told about aquanthis until he woke up the most recent time, during cataclysm. so, aquanthis grew up without a father, raised by tyrande.

during his childhood, tyrande often forced him to try to fit roles he didn't take to, mainly trying to get him to become a priestess of elune. she wanted a daughter to follow in her footsteps, and he couldn't even do that right. druidism came naturally to him, like breathing, while priesthood was like pulling teeth, and his mother did not like that. not one bit.

he was very close to shandris, his adopted older sister, and she was the person he felt safest with. that is, until one day when he was still a child, he ran to her after tyrande hit him and begged her help, and shandris brushed him off, in denial that her mother would do something like that to her own child. aquanthis still clung to shandris after that, but this happened over and over for years, to the point where he stopped running to her and kept it to himself instead.

when tyrande finally gave up on trying to get him to be a priestess, when he was a young teenager, he was allowed to study druidism in earnest. he was unmatched by any of the other students ("of course he would be, since he was the son of azeroth's first mortal druid," the other students whispered behind his back), and drew their ire for it. largely, he kept to himself and to the fae, which had been drawn to him since his birth. he had one friend his age, thelesae (izzy's oc!), though he rarely let her into his little world, because he didn't know how to, more than anything.

truthfully, aquanthis's closest friend was a faerie dragon that he hatched from an egg and raised, named morning glory. when morning glory was large enough to ride, the pair of them would go out flying at night, and aquanthis fell in love with the sky, and the dream of leaving home and never coming back.

and, about 10 years ago in the canon timeline, he did just that. as soon as he mastered flight form, he took wing and left teldrassil, with no set destination and nowhere to go but away. he was injured in darkshore and was rescued by brighton, my worgen who was wandering with his daughter. he traveled with brighton for a few days before he started to feel unsafe with teldrassil still looming over him, and disappeared in the night (he has a bad habit of this, can you tell yet?), though vowing to repay brighton someday if they met again.

he traveled across kalimdor, and then got caught up in a storm over the great sea, and was thrown into the waves.

he woke up on the shore of the jade forest, before the mists were lifted, and was taken in by the pandaren. he began studying under a jewelcrafting master, siu nightgarden, and built a friendship/sibling relationship with siu's daughter, shaeiu. he discovered a love for jewelcrafting and developed the design for the jeweled onyx panther based on siu's designs of the other panthers. :) <- really attached to this tidbit

he also spent time with the order of the cloud serpent, since he had experience raising faerie dragons! but that's a story for another time.

when the mists were lifted and the horde and alliance arrived on the shores of pandaria, aquanthis panicked, fearing being brought back home, and left the jade forest without any goodbyes.

(he still feels bad about it)

during his journey out of the jade forest, he ran into a young prince anduin who'd been separated from his bodyguard (aemara! you know him you love him!). anduin had been alone for a couple days and was starving, so aquanthis hunted something for him and built him a little fire and took care of him for a night. and once the prince had fallen asleep, aquanthis took wing and left, hoping his help had been enough to save the boy. and it was!

so, anyway, continuing the tradition of aquanthis getting into bad situations, he got attacked on his way into the valley of the four winds, and limped into halfhill one rainy night, beaten half to death and hardly lucid. there, he met the owner of the farm, selrine (seb's oc) who took care of him and nursed him back to health. he sees her as kind of the only mother figure he's ever had. he adores her so so much. funnily enough, she's the mother of aquanthis's uncle-in-law too LOL so she's part of the family even though neither of them knew.

anyway, he spent some time recuperating in halfhill with selrine, and then went back out wandering for a while. things were largely uneventful from then until legion, when everything went to shit! lol!

he heard about varian's death, and found out that anduin had become king. and because aquanthis had met anduin that day, he thought that maybe, just maybe, stormwind might be somewhere safe that he could go where he wouldn't be sent home. so he found his way there and set up in a tree near the keep, trying to work up the courage to go speak to anduin himself. but, um, the SI:7 did not like some random druid hanging out near the keep and assumed he was spying, so they caught his ass and hauled him into the keep before the king, and anduin's like. what are you doing let him go what the fuck lol because anduin remembered him! and still intended to repay the debt he felt like he owed him. so aquanthis was allowed to stay in stormwind.

but it was pretty short-lived before he got dragged into helping the druids in the broken isles. :(

if the fae ask him for help, it's over lol he can't say no. he loves them too much.

so he ends up getting dragged before his father, who he'd never spoken to in his life and who he hated on principle, and told he was going to become an archdruid. against his will pretty much. so aquanthis has a good ol meltdown and has to fight himself not to run away again, and only doesn't because of another archdruid (searchlight! august's oc! i love her so much!) who helps him, as well as brighton who ALSO ends up there. druid convention. we're having a great (see: BAD) time. tyrande's there too, to make everything worse, lol! aquanthis has a bad day at the beginning of legion sorry guys

tyrande recommends him to collect and wield the scythe of elune. she knows full well that that thing has a history of possessing and killing those who wield it, and she has every intention and belief that aquanthis will be no different. (she really wants to get rid of him, because he's a giant stain on her perfect lovely record, but she won't buck up and kill him herself.) however! he IS different. he can keep the balance. he doesn't listen to its whispers. so he shows back up with this corrupting scythe like it's a smoothie and everyone's shocked and impressed and tyrande is fucking fuming. <3

so now that he has the scythe, he helps with val'sharah and emerald nightmare (despite hating every second he had to spend with malfurion) and spends a lot of time moping and hiding in the dreamgrove. UNTIL! *drum roll*

suramar, baby. where everything gets wild. one of my favorite parts.

(it took so long to get here. this is like, the halfway point. how long is this now? i'm losing my sense of self)

okay so SURAMAR. where he gains the vengeance incarnate title (i still love it for him even if it's totally unnecessary. rule of cool. whatever). he gets roped into helping once again, but upon actually interacting with thalyssra and the other nightfallen, he feels for them desperately, like he can't help but understand. the loneliness, the fear, the corruption and loss of a place that should've felt like home. they were starving, and he could help them. and for the first time in his life, he felt like doing everything he could to save them.

it wasn't like he wasn't kind or caring before, but everything was self-defense before. his goal was to survive and be free, not involve himself in something huge like this. but this time was different. he wanted them to be able to survive and be free, too. he took on their fight as his own.

so, he does the suramar campaign. in the process, he falls in love with a nightfallen man (erestrois, seb's oc who i adore so sososososoososososooso much) and doesn't know what to do with it because he's never fallen in love before and this is a situation that is so precarious and neither of them are safe and he tries so hard to push it down. god there was a line i wrote once that makes me wail

do you get it. do you see. he wants to help all the nightfallen but more than anything, he doesn't even care if he gets anything out of it, he just wants erestrois to live a better life, even if that life doesn't include aquanthis (and of course it does include him but aquanthis doesn't even care!!! he just loves him that much!!!!!)

anyway. anyway. okay so aquanthis leads the offensive into the nighthold and everything, yadda yadda, you know how the raid goes. EXCEPT. during the gul'dan fight. smile.

it's going well, right. everything has gone smoothly. they've done what they meant to. and then gul'dan kinda just starts wiping the floor with them. he kills brighton in pretty gruesome fashion in front of the whole gathered party and aquanthis has a meltdown and full-on moves the moon to resurrect him (i'm picky about rezzes in my stories lol it's gotta be Really Big). they keep fighting and they eventually, yknow, get illidan's soul back into his body so he can kill gul'dan for realsies.

and here's where that eye injury comes in LOL.

yknow how the crystal they had illidan's body in was made of his felblood? and yknow how the crystal shatters and throws shards everywhere? well, one big chunk hit aquanthis in the right eye. and in the commotion after illidan is freed and everything's over and everyone's recovering and getting to their feet, no one notices aquanthis curled up on the floor holding his face for a little too long. finally he starts screaming and they find the crystal lodged in his eye, fel tearing through his face and his eye and, if left unchecked, probably killing him.

thalyssra and khadgar have to try to contain the fel with sigils and stuff but tyrande, bless her heart, tries to talk them into leaving him to die :) "ohhh nooooo he'll be just like illidan he'll become fel infused it's a fate worse than deaaaath!" and then illidan tells her to fuck off in the most aggro way possible and she fucks off.

but yeah they save him though his eye is permanently fucked and his face is scarred Badly but gul'dan is dead and the nightborne are saved and it's over. it's over. and everyone came out alive! traumatized but alive!

for uhhhhh the rest of legion aquanthis is recovering from his eye injury and helping out with resettling suramar and trying really hard not to be super gay about erestrois because erestrois doesn't really have time for them to work out their feelings and stuff YET. however they DO get to that point in bfa :) because aquanthis basically just takes the expansion off to rest because the eye thing really fucked him up and also the nightborne need help and they see him as a leader (thus the title! they see him as the instrument of their vengeance. lol). so bfa is a rest period AND THEN *drum roll*

MY OTHER FAVORITE PART! shadowlands. controversial favorite part but hear me out okay.

so, the other title there you may have noticed: "the beautiful one". the fae have been calling him that since he was a child, and he thought it was just like, them flattering him or trying to cheer him up or something. but when he goes to the shadowlands as a champion, brought in to deal with ardenweald, every single fae calls him that, INCLUDING the winter queen. and he's like, what the fuck? why do you call me that? can i finally ask this?

and that's when he finds out that his spirit is the reincarnated soul of The Beautiful One, an ancient, otherwise nameless "wild god" (though it wouldn't have been called that before) that took the form of a moth. it was the parent of the fae, having been elune's original lover/mate/whatever you want to call it. and its soul was tended for ages and ages and ages in ardenweald, before it was finally reborn. and, to the fae, its soul is like a torch, blazing and brilliant and bright, and they know it immediately, are even drawn to it. which is why the fae have always been drawn to aquanthis like moths (haha get it) to a flame.

so, uh, that's a thing he has to suddenly grapple with. it's like, he's spent his whole life thinking he's Nothing, he's just being favored because of his parents. and then he finds out he's got the Soul Of A God. and it's like, he doesn't have all of its power or anything, just its soul, but it's still like. another thing that he was Born With that he did not ask for that makes people or things treat him differently, even if they treat him better because of it. he wants to just be Him, not whatever else.

however, during his time in ardenweald, he gets soulbound to dreamweaver, and kind of has a therapy arc where he learns to accept the things he can't control and he finally finds, in ardenweald, a place where he feels like he belongs. which he's never had before, really, even in suramar or the dreamgrove. it's like everything just kind of makes sense, clicks into place, and by the end of it he's so much calmer and just happier in general, finally owning that he can't control the stuff about himself that he was born with, and just has to learn to live with it. he changes so much over shadowlands, it's crazy. i wrote a thing with him and aemara once that took place in shadowlands and he's so much more confident and calm that aemara notices it, and aemara never pays attention to hardly anyone.

so anyway, as of dragonflight, aquanthis now has a gaggle of moths and fae critters, and he's sort of treated like an emissary between azeroth, ardenweald, and the emerald dream, as the only mortal druid who can traverse all three still (he's inherently tied to ardenweald forever now basically. oops).

OH, A THING I FORGOT TO MENTION EARLIER. malfurion and tyrande get a divorce pre-shadowlands and aquanthis makes up with malfurion finally. he is no longer part of the i-hate-my-dad club. he's still in the i-hate-my-mom and i-hate-my-sister clubs though. he does finally get to tell tyrande to fuck off in ardenweald and it makes me soooooo happy. the catharsis of it all. i need to reread that scene, i wrote it at one point.

a thing i've been thinking about recently has been him and the niffen, because i initially wasn't gonna really involve him in dragonflight but then got obsessed w/ the niffen and wanted him to deal with them, so now he basically gets asked by anduin to come bodyguard him while he's following wrathion around like a lost puppy, and goes with him for the zaralek caverns stuff. aquanthis is so obsessed with elder honeypelt. this is entirely because i wanted this, there is no lore reason for this.

and now he's doing emerald dream stuff. he hates fyrakk sooooo much, doubly because he hurt the niffen and is destroying the emerald dream lol. also the fact that they canonized tyrande attacking shandris and elune having to step in made me feel SO fucking vindicated holy shit. i wanted to write a scene where shandris goes to apologize to aquanthis for never believing him and aquanthis is like "oh, so you didn't believe your little baby brother, and it takes your own pain for you to believe it? fuck you, fuck off" but i haven't gotten around to finishing it yet.

anyway i'm having fun with him now because he's no longer fucking miserable. For Now. i hope that doesn't change. he makes me so sad but now he also makes me feel so :] <3 i love my quanthy

so um. yeah. that's a not-so-short summary of aquanthis's storyline.

my sweetie darling <3 sorry for how long this is i'm not even bothering to edit it i'll be honest. if anyone reads this i love you i love you i love you mwah

Read recently (Dec '22 - early Feb '23)

Nevernight by Jay Kristoff. A fun, rollicking, and rather dark story of a girl bent on revenge. She is admitted into a training academy for the deadliest assassins in the world, determined to be the best and become someone who is able to get her vengeance against those who wronged her. But there's something else happening at the academy, and the politics of the world are shifting, and magic is everywhere. Waiting on the sequels from the library.

Her Majesty's Royal Coven by Juno Dawson. A very interesting premise, where witches and warlocks are real and they serve the government as a secret coven. But I found the book didn't quite live up to its promise, the characters felt wooden and a tad stereotypical at times. There was one character I quite liked, but telling you literally anything about them would spoil most of the book lol.

The Tiger Flu by Larissa Lao. In a strange post-apocalypic world, two girls from very different beginnings, uh, do stuff in incomprehensible plotlines? I genuinely have no idea how I feel about this book. Weird as hell, every character is utterly baffling in their actions and motivations, and yet somehow it's also compelling and I finished it in like two days.

The Book Eaters by Sunyi Dean. There exists a set of ancient Families that are basically vampires, but instead of drinking blood, they eat books and the human imagination and knowledge they contain. And one member of those Families is on the run, because her son is a rare exception, in that he needs to eat directly from the source: the human mind. There is a type of cure out there, but she needs to get to it before she's found. Interesting book, intriguing world-building, slightly abrupt ending, but there's something nice about a book meant to be a one-and-done.

The Three-Body Problem by Cixin Liu. This should be right up my alley: aliens, government conspiracies, physics problems, mystery, etc. And yet, I hated it. Every character was the driest, most robotic character I've ever read, none of their motivations made any sense and they all talked like weird little exposition machines. The explanations just went on and on and I dragged my way through, hoping it would get better, but alas. I've been told the second book is better, but I shall not.

The Shadow and Bone Trilogy (Shadow and Bone, Siege and Storm, Ruin and Rising) by Leigh Bardugo. A fun and competent YA series. Set in a fantasy world, there are people with semi-magical powers, named Grisha, who serve in the army of Ravka under the leadership of the Darkling (if you cannot guess from the name, he's the bad guy). Alina is discovered to be a Sun Summoner, who might be the answer to all Ravka's prayers. If you've seen the netflix show, know that Alina's storylines are very faithfully adapted from the first book. I liked Alina, I liked a bunch of secondary characters like Genya and Nikolai and Zoya and Harshaw and David. I did not like Mal and the Darkling, they were both just sad trombone noises in the shape of men to me, which makes a lot of this series drag for me personally. I'm intrigued as to how the future seasons of the show adapt the later books.

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. I'm just going through her bibliography apparently. Set in the same universe as S&B, just a few years later, this is about a heist done by the Crows, full of mystery and crime and intrigue and betrayal. I loved this one. The author's writing has really evolved since the S&B series, and every character is much more interesting and multi-dimensional as a result. I would die for Nina and Inej, to no one's surprise.

Crooked Kingdom by Leigh Bardugo. Picks up right where Six of Crows left off. Our charming group of criminals land themselves in an even bigger disaster, and have to charm, plan, shoot, stab, and magic their way out. The heist planning is a tiiiny bit less interesting than in SoC, but now I'm so fond of all the characters that I didn't mind at all, and the character development in this book is wonderful. What a fun duology, looking forward to more.

📔📖📕?

three fandoms for the price of one!

(more) Ted Lasso:

okay, so one of my all-time favorite 90s movies is The Fully Monty and i think it would be such a fun AU for TL. the movie's themes overlap with a lot of what Ted Lasso's got going on (mental health, insecurity, father/son relationship, and how everything is wrapped up in men's relationship to their masculinity) and some of things Ted Lasso hasn't really addressed (yet) like class and sexuality. Plus stripper Ted! and the rest of our Diamond Dogs fit really well with the other characters (Beard as the best friend, Nate as the younger, insecure guy they help with his self-esteem, Higgins as the one who teaches them how to dance, Roy as the grump who is surprisingly good at dancing (definitely thanks to the yoga moms), throw Jamie in there as the hot guy lol). i could also see it as either Rebecca/Ted (she owns the club where the guys want to put on their strip show) or Trent/Ted (trent discovering what the guys are up to and sticking around to write an article about how the state of immigration affairs is so bad this poor man is putting on a strip show to get money to stay with his son; in this AU, i imagine michelle has a job in the UK). who knows if i'll ever write it but i'm thinking thoughts!

Stranger Things:

i'm going to keep the plot i've tentatively started drafting under wraps for now, but i have sent so many ST fic ideas to the graveyard over the years (rip the Will-centric ready player one AU, my beloved). a recent one that will haunt me for a while is a Station Eleven-inspired post-canon where our gang technically won the war against Vecna / the Upside Down, but it has inadvertently caused the apocalypse. while the rest of our gang has scattered across the country, trying to pick up the pieces of the world, Steve is one of the last holdouts in Hawkins. Meanwhile, Eddie has been traveling around as a wayfaring musician. idk it would be a little western-inspired because i've always loved western aesthetics in the apocalypse (stranger stumbling into town! nature running wild again! outlaws abound!). who knows what the plot would be other than finding a sense of home again. but i love that Station Eleven idea of art surviving the apocalypse and how it fosters community and i don't know!! maybe one day i'll figure out what this rambling would be about.

Dead Poets Society:

to anyone who ever subscribed to me / followed me for DPS, i am so so sorry. i wanna get back on the horse! i'm not sure if this is the plot i'll go for when i do (i once promised a Charlie POV of my good grief series and i do have some scenes of that drafted), but i have been toying with a While You Were Sleeping AU.......just thinking about Neil Perry being "in love" with Jeffrey Anderson who he has never actually spoken to. Accident happens, Jeff's in a coma, his friends and family think Neil is his fiancee, chaos ensues as Neil starts falling for Jeff's brother, Todd instead. This or my 80s The Sure Thing road trip from hell AU.......they compel me!

(Put "📓" or some other version of a book emoji into my inbox and I'll explain the plot of a fanfiction that I haven't written but daydream about.)

[melkyt]

In my fic behind the scenes, newly reborn sixteen year old Doflamingo trying so hard to flirt and woo Crocodile.

While Crocodile is a 36 year old with one kid in college (Robin) and another that he is trying to fix a relationship with (Luffy), while also navigating whatever he still has with Dragon, while getting mixed feelings about the mess he has with Mihawk and Buggy. He has no time for a child, who is his kids' future boyfriends (Law's) age. Especially not a kid that was an adult three years ago and tried to kill his son, and got de-aged for being a shit xd. Crocodile is struggling lol

Doffy determined not to give up. The one looking after him is Cora and is just happy that this is what Doffy is channeling all his energy towards this instead of trying to murder or come up with world domination schemes. It's actually peaceful, and he gets to be an older brother now.

Though Doffy and Law both being sixteen years old, means double the teen drama because they will both fuck with each other and bicker. They pull intricate pranks that only stay low-key because neither want Cora to get hurt if he stumbles on the prank first. They may hate each other, but they care for Cora xd

Its a messy family on all sides in this fic, but it's better than what was, slowly getting to chapters where they are all happy xd. Gonna make Doffy a model ✨️

Lawlu have eight years before they officially start dating, and maybe after part 3 ill do a time skip, or not

Still deciding as i balance the Ages and Age-Gaps, the true struggle of reincarnation fics xd

Not that I care mind you, 13-16 year old Luffy is going to want to kiss Traffy, like any teen discovering his vibe, 20-23 year old Law is gonna be like nah, not until your atleast 18, go kiss someone your own age first, then see if you want me then. Luffy pouts and just goes fiiiine 'ill wait'

[raydenduh]

"𝙃𝙮𝙗𝙧𝙞𝙙 𝘼𝙐": I need to come up with a better name than this, it'll do for now.

So this AU mainly revolves around MK, Wukong, and Macaque but Mei and Red Son are somewhat essential... As in the name of the AU Mk, Mei, and Red Son are what we would call "Hybrids".

Mei has dragon horns, fangs, tail, some scales on her face- looking half dragon even though it's just her "Normal" form. She can actually turn into a full on green dragon.

Red Son has bull ears, tail, and small little horns on his head. Since he's a demon he of course also has his fangs.

MK is..ya guess it, monkey- he's like Macaque and Wukong. MK has dark brown fur, and has a pale orange/red marking similar to Wukong's.

So, this is where the main part comes in. MK was raised by Wukong and Macaque since he was about three. During one of Wukong and Macaque's battles, both of them simultaneously unleashed a great amount of equal power. The two powers collided, and instead of one engulfing the other- they merged into one power source.. a floating bright ball of light mixed with dark (don't ask how this works yet.) which cracked open years later into a small little monkey. When Wukong and Macaque discovered this, they originally wanted to leave it or seal it away, but then Wukong thought better and decided it would be safer if he watched over it since such a power being would be a.. inconvenience. Wukong tried to shoo away Macaque- but failed. The darker monkey wanted to stay for his own type of benefit. So, they made due. Now the three live together on Flower Fruit Mountain.

Of course, it's not the healthiest family relationship. Wukong and Macaque tend to fight a lot, which MK doesn't like at all. Most mornings when he wakes up, it's to the sound of yelling from the two monkey's- sometimes about the smallest of things. Over the years MK has gotten used to it, and no longer has a good relationship with the two. Sadly, Wukong doesn't see this and Macaque refuses to believe it- actually, if anything they'll just blame one another.

MK isn't allowed to leave Flower Fruit Mountain, and sometimes won't be allowed past the water fall. It was Wukong who came up with the rule. It's not very bad, because the mountain is pretty big- but after all the years you spend on it gets smaller.

This is where Red Son comes in. Wukong and DBK did battle- but it didn't end up with DBK being sealed under a mountain. This AU, a truce was made- in favor that DBK's upcoming Son and his Wife wouldn't have to go through the years of tragedy. Since both are now allies, (and to keep MK from going half-insane on the mountain) Red Son is able to visit from time to time to hang out with MK- and both become close since all they had at the time was each other..and a couple of bull clones.

Red Son once had the idea of sneaking MK into the city- so MK could at least a taste of what the outside world was like. This is where the two meet Mei when they decide to stop sight seeing for lunch at Pigsy's restaurant. This is where a runaway girl worked- Mei! She delivers. Mei had completed her shift, and was eating her one bowl of free noodles when she and MK started talking. Red Son was annoyed at first- well, jealous is a better word...towards Mei since she and MK hit it off really well. Then, he started warming up to her. They talked for hours to the point where Red and MK forgot they had to get back to the mountain- and so here come the worried/angry parents.

So, Yeah that's basically the AU for now lol. I'll definitely add more stuff later- and open to any sort of additions/questions. There's a lot more ideas I have that I want to turn into AU's- but of course I need time..

HEADCANONS + GOJO SATORU || onii-chan

note: this was a few ideas given to me by my beloved 🌸Anon - a bunch of new gojotwins!au headcanons c: this one is a little different compared to my other story, so this is a stand alone one. might turn it into a series if it gets enough love, but we’ll see~ you can read the original ask here!

pronouns: she/her

note: mentions of blood and death and spoilers for volume 8 & 9 of the manga. SUPER LONG by the way lol

gojotwins!au masterlist

twins have always been viewed as a bad omen for the parents - there are high chances of both twins developing no Cursed Technique at all, or have a Cursed Technique that is not desirable. So there had been no hope when one of the wives from the main family of the gojo clan was pregnant, and from what they can tell with twins at that

so it was a huge surprise to not only the elders but the entire jujutsu world when not one, but both of the twins were born with the coveted Six Eyes - something that had never happened in the history of the gojo clan. it was a moment to be celebrated!

if only they knew just what was lies ahead

much to the delight of the elders, the older one of the twins was the boy, satoru, while the girl was born 20 minutes after - it wouldn’t have mattered if it was the other way around, but just having the young boy being the one born first was definitely the icing on the cake

both of you were an absolute headache to deal with, causing so much chaos and mayhem that the elders had wondered if they should have celebrated at the idea of having two Six Eyes users under the same house was a good thing

the both of you trained together throughout your younger years, with satoru becoming super overprotective even though you were twins - he understood from a young age that the both of you were starting at different levels of footing because of your gender

yes, you are a girl - but at 7 years old you had exorcise a Grade-Two Curse by yourself with no more than an annoyed click of your tongue and a snap of your fingers, walking away whilst whining about how it got your favourite dress dirty

with that being said though, he loves to tease you are still the younger one between the both of you, and had teased you about how you should refer to him as ‘onii-chan’ instead of his first name

“come on, Y/N~ it’s a sign of respect~”

“i am going to spend you to outer space one of these days.”

the two of you were already known about the jujutsu world way before you even became old enough to enroll in Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College - you two were even allowed to enter without an interview with the then principal of the school

who would want to waste their time interviewing two highly over qualified teenagers anyway?

the first time you met geto and shoko, they were both intimidated by your sheer presence. the both of them have heard talks about the gojo twins entering their year as a pair

so when they had first met you, standing there in your uniform with your bright blue eyes hiding behind a pair of blacked out sunglasses and an indifferent look on your face - they definitely felt a shiver go through their bodies

however, when they saw your twin brother appearing behind you with the biggest grin, hugging you from behind whilst you scowled and tried to push his head away - they were definitely less intimidated now

“now, now, Y/N-chan, stop being so scary~”

“nii-chan, i am giving you three seconds to let go of me.”

the two of you quite the duo, especially when you two are always pinned against one another with more difficult and more challenging missions compared to when you were under the care of the gojo clan 

geto felt less pressure to match up to his friend, since satoru and Y/N are always at each other’s throat - wanting to outmatch the other and one up the other with silly things like Curse head counts and how difficult its level is

with that being said, satoru is very protective of you - if any so much as speaks poorly of you, he would not hesitate to put them in their place

“oya? what makes you think you can speak of my baby sister like that?” satoru had hummed towards the small group of men, who were commenting on how beautiful the young woman was followed by a lot of unsavoury comments. 

satoru still sported his casual smile, yet there was a certain air around him that made them shut their mouths up real fast. “mind repeating that? just want to make sure that i have a good enough reason to put your lazy asses six feet underground..”

after that specific incident by the way, satoru had you and your friends out on a little excursion around tokyo - where they just did a bunch of stupid things together to calm down

you can read him like the back of a book though, so when both of your friends went away to browse through some shelves in a video game store, you just wrapped your arms around your brother with a smile. “you know, nii-chan, you don’t need to go about protect my honour. i’m a big girl now.”

he’d just blink down at you before giving you a soft but genuine smile, petting the top of your head with one of his hand while the other was resting inside of his pocket. “if i don’t protect you, who am i going to protect?”

that statement was proven during your second year - a cursed user had overpowered you and shoko and had taken the both of you hostage. the curse user had practically beaten you into a pulp, knowing that you were the stronger one between the two

shoko had been tied up and beaten as well, but you were definitely taking the brunt of his anger - along with being forced to listen about how he was going to sell you to some low life family that had been trying to get you to marry their sorry excuse of a son. 

you don’t even remember meeting the father of the boy, who had claimed to visit the gojo clan home a few times now

“you gonna be a good girl for me?” the man had gripped as he gripped your hair in his hands, giving you a smirk whilst you scowled over at him in annoyance, blinking the blood out of your eyes from the wound on the top of your head. 

before you can give another snarky answer in reply that will get you another beating, the sound of someone kicking the door in. before either one of you can move, the man suddenly let go of your hair with a pained gasp as someone grabbed his hair and forced his head back, looking up into a pair of glowing blue eyes

“get your filthy hands off my baby sister.”

geto was in charge of taking care of the both of you, leaving the room with a simple reminder to satoru that they needed to bring the man back alive

both of you spending most of your time trying to unlock the many secrets of the Limitless, and how to control it better

during the entire star plasma vessel fiasco, you had stayed by geto’s side. and while you didn’t manage to save rika from being murdered, you had, like gojo, managed to touch the core of cursed energy

toji had ‘killed you’ before he went after geto, yet like satoru, he did not decapitate your head; so you had slowly started to use the reverse curse technique to heal your wounds

so you couldn’t believe satoru’s belief when he found you using reverse cursed technique to heal geto, wrapping you up in his arms while you just smile and hold him as well

the three of you plus shoko had turned to one another for comfort, because along the way you four have grown close to the young girl, and her death really affected all of you

but if there is something bright that came out from this, is that you and your brother had really elevated yourselves to become the strongest duo of the new generation - both pretty much an entire chest above the current active sorcerers

after satoru had calmed down, he had told you about what toji had said to him before his death - about how he has a son that he had planned to sell of to the zen’ins

the two of you went to visit the young boy, discovering that he had an older sister as well; and without hesitation you had taken the both of them under your wing, pulling a few strings behind the scenes while also trying to provide him with as normal as a life as you two could

megumi had viewed you as a mother figure, someone who looked out for him and tsumiki, teaching the two of them life skills like sewing and cooking, making sure they always have warm meals. 

you never miss their birthdays either - always making sure to get them either a cake or a small cupcake with a candle on the top to blow out just for the sake of tradition

sure, satoru loves to spoil them too, but he acted more like their chilled older brother - he definitely relies on you more as a parental figure he had lacked for quite a huge part of his childhood

he had remembered how once, when you had made him his favourite curry and rice after a long week, he just sighed and said, “thanks mum,” before he started to eat his meal 

at first you froze in shock, and  megumi did too - but before the blushing teen can apologise, you had already wrapped him up in your arms as you just cried your heart out

satoru had teasingly asked him if megumi can call him ‘dad’, to which megumi just scowled and sent his divine dogs after your brother

satoru loves to introduce you two as the ‘strongest duo’ by the way - which makes you super awkward and you hate it with a passion. he wasn’t wrong, but it’s still awkward

“we’re the Gojos - the strongest duo out there.”

“please stop calling us that.”

feel like because you’re there, geto might still be on the path to the light lmao - like mans will be a teacher in school and you three will be dub the ‘idiot trinity’ or some bullshit nickname lol - the three biggest troublemakers in the jujutsu world

yet the three most capable ones as well - absolutely drive the higher ups of the jujutsu world insane

with that being said though - the three of you definitely hashed a plan to change the jujutsu world together. even shoko agrees that there should be some change to the old ways of the jujutsu world; so the four of you decided to sign up to work as teachers at Jujutsu High 

the first group of students you took under your wing was the then first years - maki, toge, panda, and eventually yuta when he joined your little class

you are the mother for the students while geto is the responsible dad; satoru is the crazy uncle that is not allowed to supervise the students alone, and shoko is the cool aunt who lets you skip class in her office if you want

all the students have, at one point, just referred to you as ‘mum’ and you had always just accepted that with a soft smile and a pat on the top of their head

even if they are taller than you, they will willingly bend down to your height so you can pet them on the head - even megumi lets you get away with it

when itadori and nobara came into the picture, you had taken them un as your own as well - but you did spend a good 5 minutes laughing with geto at the idea that yuji manages to control sukuna like he is just an annoying imaginary friend in the back of his head that refuses to shut up

you had tried to give them some form of normality and comforts as teenagers, even if many times they were forced into very uncomfortable situations

all in all - it was utter chaos the moment both you and satoru were born. yet it was a miracle nonetheless. many times you prove to the world that your bond is stronger than people think it is, and that you two will go through anything to make sure the other is safe. 

you are the younger one, but the more responsible one too. the motherly figure that everyone turned to, even your friends and brother, who needs comfort and a warm meal. yet if provoked, you can become deadly and kill with no hesitation. it’s because of this, both you and your brother are considered as quite the deadly duo; the strongest ones around.

The whole time traveling children has me feelin some type of way tbh. Imagine Mirio, Kaminari, and Tamaki walking into their respective rooms and there are just small children vibing. Mirio with his daughter, Kaminari with a daughter and Tamaki with a son. 😭

as i said, parent!bnha is SUPERIOR

A/N: So, instead of making these separate asks, I’m just going to make it one giant post. I thought it would be easier that way. Probably the only post that’ll have more than three characters lol

Warnings: none

Kaminari Denki:

when kaminari walked into his room, he didn't expect to see two children on his bed fighting like wild animals

the younger girl was totally beating the boy’s ass tho

kinda embarrassing bc she’s gotta be like, seven, at most

as if it’s not the weirdest thing he’s seen (bc it’s not) he rushes in to break them apart

he manages to separate them with his arms 

the boy with yellow hair snaps his jaws at his sister’s fingers

“hey! bad! no biting!” he scolds

the little girl blows a raspberry and taunts “yeah! papa says no biting!”

the older sibling just rolls his eyes “rat”

meanwhile, denki is literally malfunctioning

papa?

PAPA? HUH???

the only person’s pants (and heart) he’s been trying to get in to for the past three months was y/n’s and he sure as hell would remember if he did

he didn't have kids

especially one that was his age

“sorry! you two are cute, but i’m not your pops”

thus, they begin to tell denki about how they mayhaps followed him and their mother into a dangerous mission and got hit with a time travel quirk

denki just nods his head

tbh, he’s not that weirded out

weirder things have happened

but, he does have one question

“who’s the lucky woman?”

coincidentally, you bust into his dorm room, wet from a recent prank and head steaming with anger

“Kaminari Denki!”

his son juts a thumb over to you

“the woman that’s about to murder you”

“oh say less”

his life literally couldn't get any better

before you get the chance to throttle him, the little girl jumps in your arms and your anger is immediately quelled 

“hey mommy! i just wanna let you know that it was [son’s name]’s fault that we followed you when you told us not to”

“WHAT!?”

you’re to busy trying to get them from killing each other to comprehend anything that’s going on

kaminari is in a love-struck gaze bc hot damn, he won the jackpot, huh?

if he wasn't in love with you before, he’s in love with you now

you and your feral children

it was nice being God’s favorite

Kirishima Eijirou: 

funny thing was

kirishima woke up from his afternoon nap with his mini-me in his arms!

at first, he was really confused as to why there was an 8 yr old boy with spiky teeth and (your hair texture) black hair on his bed

he thought he was dreaming

then the little boy bit his nose and grinned like he had done the funniest thing in the world 

“WAKE UP DADDY! WE GOTTA GET SWOL TODAY”

did he get hit with some duplication quirk?

and what was that he said...daddy?

as in, father?

kirishima is wide awake now, but before he can ask the kid what’s going on, the boy is up and making use of his punching bag

he decides it wouldn't hurt to get a morning work out in, so he decides to humor the kid

after a mini workout, kirishima is in near tears as the boy tries to flex the little muscles he has 

eventually, he gets the kid to tell him what happened and finds out he was hit with a time travel quirk of some sort

instead of being weirded out, kirishima is ESCTATIC 

he has a family in the future 

he’s so excited and proud that he just has to show his son off to his friends!

the first thing he does is go and bother bakusquad in the common room

he’s bragging like shit to them and his ego swells as they all swoon over how cute and handsome the kid is 

you and bakugo come out of the kitchen to see what all the commotion is about and the little boy excitedly runs to you and jumps into your arms 

“momma! you’re here! you’re so pretty! why’d you marry daddy when he looks so unswol?”

it’s silent before bakugo fucking dies of laughter 

“y-you finally let shitty hair hit it? and got knocked up?? LMAO”

everyone’s dying and kirishima wants to die

he can’t believe this was how his long-term crush on you was getting outted

by an 8 yr old boy

so not manly

you look confused before you put the pieces together

the kid did look like you and kirishima

you want to console kirishima about the crush that you lowkey knew he had on you, but your son was one step ahead of you

with a gracious smile, he hits bakugo’s head

hard

“what the fuck kid!?”

“don’t make fun of daddy, uncle bakugo! at least daddy didn’t faint at his wedding″

Bakugo’s contemplating murder and everyone’s rolling on the floor

“WE BEEN KNEW YOU WERE THE BIGGEST SIMP”

even ten years later, bakugo still holds a grudge against your son

Togata Mirio:

i’m about to kill y’all w this one

since year one, mirio has been feigning over you 

but 1) you were too dumb to notice 2) you both were really busy with, y’know, school and 3) he lowkey gave up bc he thought you deserved better

so imagine his surprise when he sees this four year old girl on his bed

and she looks like you with his features

mirio might not be the brightest crayon in the crayon box

but he’s got eyes

and it wasn't like he’s memorized your features to the T

the tiny girl is swinging her legs absent-mindedly before exploding with happiness when he sees him

she runs to mirio and he catches her with open arms 

“daddy! daddy! i got hit with the coolest quirk at school today!”

proceeds to tell him about her best friend discovered her quirk and it was a teleportation quirk 

mirio can’t help but giggle along with her even tho he knew it was a scary situation for the parents

speaking of which...

he innocently asks her who’s the mom

“mommy is the prettiest mommy in the world! she has e/c eyes, hair like me, and the most beautiful s/c skin! her name is togata y/n!”

if he wasn't geeking before, he’s geeking now

not only did he manage to marry you, but you let him be your baby daddy?

him?

big bet

mirio doesn't even care at this point

he’s parading around UA with the fattest smile as he introduces his daughter to damn near everyone 

everyone’s freaking out bc wtf when did mirio get someone pregnant??

maybe he should've explained himself, but he sees you at your locker and makes a b-line for you

“good morning, y/n!”

he doesn't notice that you slam your locker close and hide the confession letter you wrote to him behind your back

you’re a stuttering mess and he’s too busy basking in the fact that he’s holding y’alls child 

y’all look like a mess

but he’s ready to lay it on thick when the little girl kisses your nose and cheers,

“mommy, i missed you”

he explains the situation 

you cant help but smile, “you know this could potentially ruin the timeline?”

and you feel like melting as he gives you the softest smile 

“there’s no way I’m letting that happen. not when i end up with the woman i’m in love with. we’ll just have to twist fate together”

and twist it you did

Tamaki Amajiki:

tamaki wasn't the bravest person ever 

and he knew his crippling anxiety got in the way of a lot

but he had never been more proud of himself for managing to invite you to his room

it was supposed to be a study date

despite how bold you normally were, he took comfort in how nervous you seemed 

now, you two were leaning in, about to kiss

and then a voice from behind interrupts 

“uh, am i interrupting something?”

you two let out the ugliest squeal and jump 50 feet away from each other 

you’re all over the place, trying to explain the situation

tamaki’s heart is barely beating at this point

it takes the kid, who looks about 16, about thirty minutes to calm you down and revive tamaki

explains that he’s from the future and a descendant of tamaki’s family

decides to leave out that you two are his parents so he doesn't risk possibly erasing himself from the space continuum 

that would be bad

despite how surprised you two were, you two take it rather well 

you three spend the day together bc you and tamaki feel this weird sense of responsibility for the guy even though he’s only two years younger

the boy is trying his hardest not to expose himself, but it’s so hard

you two are asking him everything from his favorite food to if he has any siblings

he’s good at pretending that he’s cool, calm, and collected, but he wants nothing more than to jump into his parents’ arms and cry about how scared he is of messing up

but he won’t 

bc he’s a strong boy

but he slips up

“how far are you down the future?” tamaki asks

“uh, about like 100 years or so--”

“you’re lying”

the kid nearly chokes on his food as his father blinks at him

you try and scold tamaki but he continues

“i don’t mean to be mean, but your nose twitches when you lie. y/n does the same thing”

that’s when the jazz record stops and everyone is staring at one another

“....wait”

this time, you nearly pass out

y’all had a kid together???

THE HELL??

the boy, coincidentally, starts fading and he thinks he fucked up

now he’s full out sobbing into the both of your chests, scared that he’s disappearing

despite the news, you and tamaki calm down, look at each other, and hold your son

“don’t you worry, baby” you coo, kissing his fading hair

“i have a feeling we’ll see you quite soon” tamaki comforts, closing his eyes

Bakugo Katsuki:

bakugo finally understood when his mom said

“the meaner you are to your parents, the nastier your kids will be to you”

he regretted being such a demon bc his kid was literally the spawn of satan

katsuki didn’t need an explanation to know that that...thing was his kid

he looked damn near identical to him with features that he couldn't quite place

but anyways, that wasn't the focus rn

rn, he was trying to figure out a way to keep that animal caged

as soon as katsuki took his eyes off him, the six yr old ran out the door as fast as his little legs could carry him

“catch me if you can, you old bastard!”

yup, it was his kid

“GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE FUCKER”

his son is blasting his way through the halls, skillfully evading Katsuki’s grabbing hands 

he’s wildly laughing as he flips and turns through the doors, watching with glee as his father falls on his face

multiple times

the small boy latches on to a cupboard and smirks

“no wonder mom always beats your ass! you weak!”

katsuki nearly looks like the devil, eyes white, and face red with fury

his pride suffering by the second

he’s about to cuss the kids to hell when you come out of the kitchen, confused

you were about to ask why katsuki looked like a rat with rabies before you caught sight of a basket of fruit teetering on the edge of the cabinet, above the little boy’s head

“look out--”

the basket falls on the kid’s head and he’s on the floor, reeling from the hit

katsuki would've normally laughed his ass off, but he felt kind of...concerned?

he watches you run towards the child who’s trying his hardest not to cry

the boy holds his head, fat tears in his eyes as you pick him up and coddle over him 

“i’m sorry, baby. I'm sorry i didnt get there in time” 

cue the waterworks 

the boy is full-on sobbing into your chest about how his head hurts

you bounce him and kiss his forehead as katsuki checks over the red bump 

“you’ll be okay, brat” he comforts, voice softer than usual

in that moment, katsuki can’t help but notice how much a family y’all look like rn

then the dots start connecting and he goes 

oh shit 

so, maybe, he’s had a tiny crush on you

and it didn’t help that you two were friends with benefits bc yall were horny teenagers

but who knew he’d get the balls to ask you out on a proper date one day

he was such a simp for you gosh it was ugly

“you have to be more careful from now on,”  you say to the boy 

the brat suddenly looks innocent and katsuki wants to throw him

“sorry, mommy. i’ll be gooder”

the look on your face is priceless 

bakugo uses it as a chance to kiss you 

“huh?”

“i guess now’s a good time to tell you that i want to be your dick on demand but with feelings and shit, dumbass”
