Watch a man in times of adversity to discover what kind of man he is; for then at last words of truth are drawn from the depths of his heart, and the mask is torn off. — Titus Lucretius Carus

He was no longer a cohesive machine of blood and bone. By now, even his mind sojourned in planes beyond his existence; clinging to dulcet memories of his egregious mistake. A smile he had never been able to decipher, words uttered against lips, the taste of whisky and cigars, tangled sheets and golden skin, laughter, golden hues and eternal promises, bloodstained wings veiling the night sky… Reality blended with fiction, truth got lost in lies. Anything to keep the mind from shattering as the cracks rapidly spread.

The heart of it struck him in an instant, while chained to a wall, bruised, battered, barely alive. There had never been a mask; he had always been genuine—genuine chaos which he had embraced and wielded as his greatest weapon. Signs and subtle hints were ignored precisely because the darkness inside was real. To deceive his enemies, he had first deceived his allies. Crocodile trusted him even when it went against everything he stood for. He had trusted them both, to make matters even worse.

“Knavish fiend,” the grunt echoed off the walls, pounding in his head with hammer-like strikes. Shallow breaths, neither painful nor pleasurable, trapped his mind in a looped cycle of the events that had transpired. From the first moment their paths had crossed, to the current one where nothing but doom awaited. A sudden jolt of pain left him panting, intensifying the more he dwelt on it. Sweat ran down his cheeks, his teeth clenched, wishing they were biting into flesh—a visceral thought fuelled by rancour, yet so deep and real it confirmed his existence—or what was left of it.

Was there anything left at all?

Broken bones and derisive numbness affirmed there was a perception of sensation, a testimony of one’s physical presence. It was painful to exist in those restless hours. Sleep never came when summoned, and when it did, it was his own mind that kept him awake. Eventually, someone would open the doors of his current prison. That someone was more likely a foe than a friend, yet even then, Crocodile wanted to properly greet them as the quintessence of wrath. He wanted to beshrew their existence, but mostly his. Of that son of a bitch who had brought nothing but destruction with him.

His mouth ran dry, his chest throbbed from the impact of the knife embedded in his heart, and his body quivered vehemently from the sheer surge of emotions. His pride refused to let them escape. His teeth bit into his lower lip to remind him of the physical pain, yet his eyes remained defiant, misting over reality. The image before him was ephemeral, but it was more than enough to break him.

How did it all end up like this?

It was the type of city that drew people toward it. Those seeking very small yet very large miracles, adventurers longing for a new thrill, those hoping for the beginning of a new story, and those wishing for nothing to begin at all. A place to find oneself and a place to lose oneself completely. A place to evolve and a place to be devoured. A place to seek an ordinary life and a place to search for the extraordinary. A place of blinding lights and fastidious darkness. A city of wonders, lies, hopes, troubles, joy, and despair—a symbol of abnormality.

The city’s charisma and double-sided allure were why Crocodile came. It was a chance to start anew, to forget the past and the demons he had left behind, and to create something empyreal. Over ten years had passed since he had made that choice, and over eight since he had started building his underground empire. Baroque Works was a criminal organization, one of many in this city, which owed its rapid growth to its devil fruit users, Crocodile being one of them

No one was certain why people were born with unique abilities, but it was no surprise when governments took an interest. These abilities became a person's most important secret. Once awakened, some kept their powers hidden even from their families. Those who couldn’t were presented with two options: a life as the government's product or a life as a criminal. Interestingly enough, these two factions weren’t at war with each other, even if they sometimes stood in each other's way. They lived in a parasitic symbiosis, constantly feeding off each other. At times they were partners, at others they were enemies. What had become clear early on, much to Crocodile's expectations, was that no one was to be trusted. In an ever-changing city with swarms of ever-changing faces, offering trust meant immediate death.

[9:32] All done, Mr. Zero.

The text message came from his secretary, Miss All Sunday. A short, concise report on the last shipment of weapons to the Ganmi group, just as he was used to. The Ganmi group was a relatively new presence in the city, having appeared two years ago, but they were loyal customers. Calling them a "group" was generous—they were more of a local gang battling other small fries in their neighbourhoods. Normally, he wouldn’t care much about them, but he knew how useful connections could be when most needed. Even if Crocodile never intended to ask for anything in return for his services (other than money), he planned to use the Ganmi group as required. A neutral group with no specific ties to bigger organizations in the city was always useful if a distraction was necessary.

He didn’t respond to the message, merely left it as read. Miss All Sunday was accustomed to his lack of communication through the phone. She knew his paranoia, his habits, and his preferences. She had been by his side for seven years, and despite everything they had been through, Crocodile still believed she would eventually betray him. She was a lot like him, after all, and that was possibly why they made such good partners.

[10:03] Mr. Five’s task?

A hit job requested two weeks ago, another service his organization offered. Depending on the severity and importance of the job, Crocodile would sometimes send his elite officers to the front lines. Each of them excelled in specific areas, and so far, they hadn't performed below his expectations.

[10:05] Being worked on. [10:06] Results will be in in a week.

That was adequate. He preferred clean jobs with no strings attached. Hasty kills brought too many questions; protracted kills erased their significance and meaning. A balance was necessary, and his elite operated according to the balance he dictated. Those under them were sent out for insignificant hits meant only to bring in more money.

Still, he couldn’t shake the feeling of unease. He had been in the city long enough to develop a sixth sense for impending trouble. The other organizations had kept a low profile for the past few months, performing their services and patrolling their turfs out of habit, merely keeping up appearances. Even the brats who often got caught up in the city's whirlwind were unusually quiet. Sometimes there were street brawls between gangs; other times, the kids were simply enjoying their youth and school days while they lasted. But they were always loud and noticeable. Even the police weren’t as active, likely in response to the other side’s subdued behavior.

He didn’t like it.

It felt as if everyone was waiting for something. It almost seemed as if the city itself had altered its abnormal lifestyle. Or perhaps it was just about to begin. Crocodile’s hand reached for the tin with cigars and the guillotine cutter. He took a cold taste after cutting the tip, and once satisfied, he lit it evenly, rotating the cigar and taking the first puff of smoke. The mild flavor graced his taste buds, lightheadedness crept up as it always did with tobacco, and for a moment, he was able to relax his nerves and forget about his worries.

“I’ve just arrived at Calm Belt. I’m not in a rush, so take your time.” The man took a seat at the nearby table with his back turned to Crocodile, still engrossed in his conversation. Usually, he didn’t care about the lives of others, and normally, he wouldn’t have paid attention to this man either, if it weren’t for his laughter, which was simply too boisterous for Crocodile’s taste. “So, you lost her again? Fwahahahahahahahaha! I thought you were going together—”

Golden eyes lifted to judge the man behind his back. A fairly tall individual, young, white-haired, tanned skin, dressed in comfortable yet expensive clothing, with a loud, continuous laugh and an aura of arrogance that reminded Crocodile of a certain blond.

As he took another puff of smoke, Crocodile knew his perfect morning had come to an end. The unease he felt had found its source. According to Mr. Three, Doflamingo had returned to Spain to sort out personal matters. He would be back soon. / @umbrx

🏝🎀🫂❤️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🤑🐕🍓🎮🚻🧠⭐️👑🃏🤓💅😔♾️ - totally not adauchi

HI BRO !!! 🔥🔥

this actually made me laugh more than i expected dhjshdgsj,, but really, i'm really happy to anwser

it's gonna be a bit long, also cw for suicide because. yeah.

(🏝) where did you live?

easy answer is the Flame World, i mean, i was born there and lived there my entire life. more detailed answer is the different places of the Flame World, that place was really big, though most of the area was a deserted wasteland. i was born in a town that was basically falling apart and filled with criminal activity, i have no idea what we called the place but i know it was just after the prison we see in game. it's like the building watched over us, as a reminder of where we would go eventually. i mean, there was no other option for people born there, we had to turn to crime if we didn't want to die, even kids, especially orphans like me. that place got raided by the military constantly, that's how i met the Devil to begin with. i was around 13 when he came over with the rest of his army, probably looking for the ones who were against his reign and plotting to take him down (that was a common belief to have), and found me. i barely have memories of that, but my guess is that he took pity on me along with realizing i wasn't part of his hate group and decided to take me in as a subordinate. Ivlis was... kinda weird. i don't know where i lived after that, really, but when i was around 16/17, i lived in the main town we see in the game, the one closer to the palace. that place was like, for important people, most people in the army lived there. i don't think i bought the house myself or paid rent, but i also have no memory of it being something really special. maybe everyone in the army just got a house and that was it, like, one of the benefits of working for the Devil. it was a pretty small house, no living room, kitchen with small table, my bedroom could fit a bed, a small karaoke machine and a trunk to put my clothes on. it was comfortable though... better than living on the streets like i used to, i had a bed to sleep on, food, what else could i really need? i lived there until the day i died, never felt like it wasn't enough.

this kinda turned into a backstory huh...

(🎀) what kind of clothes did you wear?

my vibe was pretty similar to what i wore in-game. if anything, it was more toned down, more boring. not to talk down on myself but i was generally uninspiring. lot's of blacks and reds, leather, stuff you would usually see flame demons wearing. ok maybe more leather than the rest but otherwise not very distinguished. most of my shirts were wrinkled or dirty. had a hard time keeping them clean, but i tried not to go out smelling bad. one thing i know for sure is that i wanted to dress better and experiment more, but i didn't have the confidence or the energy to try, so i'd end up wearing the same thing every day. shirt, jeans, jacket, necklace, glasses... sometimes a choker, if i had the energy to put it on. my clothes didn't really have a pattern on them, just solid colors, the point of interest was mostly the textures. i know for a fact that my clothes weren't really expensive or anything, probably got them second hand. i used adauchi as an inspiration for fashion a lot of the time, i liked the way he dressed, he looked hot cool but a lot of the times i tried to do something similar and ended up not liking it... so maybe i just liked the way he looked in general and it was more of a me being gay thing

about my shades, i used to wear them for multiple reasons. first, i hated looking people in the eye, it made me anxious, like a prey animal or something, it felt like everyone else was trying to kill me. shades were an easy escape from that. i only started wearing them when i worked for Ivlis though... so yeah, maybe people were in fact trying to kill me and i just developed this anxiety about eyes in general. i was an easy victim anyway. and if it wasn't for that, my eyes usually distracted other people, in the sense that they wouldn't take me seriously. they were a different color from canon, less orange/amber and more golden, similar to Ivlis. why didn't they take seriously for having golden eyes? i have no fucking idea, but it did happen. maybe it was just an extra for me being generally vulnerable.

(🫂) who were you closest with?

easy answer, adauchi and poemi. i mean, who else? they might actually be the only people i was ever close with. like sure, i was somewhat close to Ivlis but he was still my boss and scared the shit out of me. i surely respected him more than the game, along with being way more cowardly. rieta wasn't really present in my life, so she was more of a friendly coworker

adauchi was my first friend, i have no real memory of how we met, but it was only after Ivlis took me in. i admired him so much, and it's weird because i have this feeling of admiring him from afar even though we were close. i guess i never believed myself to be worthy of his friendship, no matter how much he proved me wrong... and oh, he did, constantly. he was the first person to treat me as an equal, all while being the Devils son, and he tried to make me feel better about myself in every situation. he'd never let me talk bad about myself, or shame me, no matter what i did. i guess it's not a surprise that i felt in love with him, he treated me like a person, unlike everyone else. flame demons can be pretty brutal, and he was when the situation called for it, but he was also the kindest person i've ever met. this contrast just made me fall even harder. even then, i don't think i meant as much to him as he did to me. so silly.

and poemi. oh, sweet poemi. sweet is a strong word but i love her dearly. i can't help but be sad when i think about my poemi, since i left her so abruptly. i don't have many memories of her, our dynamic eludes me. i know for a fact we got really close after the gray world invasion. Ivlis became really busy, even more neglectful than before, so i took it upon myself to take care of her. we were friends before, but that's when she became my best friend at the time. i watched her grow up, i guess that's one of the reasons it gets me so much. we were the only ones who missed adauchi, if not the only ones, the ones who missed him the most. never once the Devil mentioned him, so i wouldn't know. when my mental health started to get worse, she was the only thing keeping me going. i had to be there for her, i had to take care of her, no one else would if it wasn't for me. i guess, as she got older, and more independent, that didn't kept me going for too long. she was a princess, but for most of the time, we only really had each other.

(❤️) what is one of your favorite memories of a person you loved?

maybe not my favorite, but it's the one i think about the most, just randomly. besides... well... i'll talk more about it later

adauchi n i were walking on the street, though i don't remember where we were going, if we were even going somewhere. he was talking about something as he led the way, and i walked just behind him, listening to him, sometimes answering. suddenly, he stopped walking, turning back and looking at me. he asked why i always did that, and i didn't get it immediately, so he continued by saying i always walked behind him, as if i was following him. i remember being a bit surprised, as i didn't even put much thought into that... i just did. i told him that i was just used to that, walking behind people and never by their side. it wasn't really a place i deserverd, no one would want me walking by their side anyway. adauchi immediately called bullshit, grabbing me closer and basically forcing me to walk by his side.

i think we weren't as close here, as if we were in the beginning of our friendship. that's probably the case. we were closer to being adults than being kids, like 17/18? the timeline of this is kinda wonky, but the age seems right.

this is a very special moment to me because... i felt remarkably human. it registered that, hey, maybe this guy sees me as a person... i think i like it

(👨‍👩‍👧‍👦) who did you consider your family?

when i look back at it now? adauchi, poemi and to some extent Ivlis. found family kinda stuff. but when i was there? no one.

it's sad to think about it this way, i'm aware. but when mixing all of my problems and life history, it does make sense. not only did i have an extremely pessimistic view of my own life, i also had problems trusting people. i mean, of couse i did.

i was an orphan who grew up on the streets, being used and bullied by everyone around me, just waiting for my inevitable incarceration. suddenly meeting the Devil was never something i expected. in a way, he was my savior, but he was never someone i could rely on, neglectful, violent, terrifying. adauchi was the one who made me feel worthy of something for the first time in my life, but there was something i could never tell him, out of fear that he'd never want to look at me ever again. i was hiding so much from him, i never felt like myself truly, i was a liar and a fraud. and poemi, i cared for her like my own sister, but ultimately, i made her life worse by getting close to her. for the last person who cared about me, i gave the most terrible fate... and she was still young, too.

so, altough they were my family, i was never able to consider them to be.

(🤑) did you have a job, and if so, what was it?

i did have a job. what did my job consist of? that's another question, one that i'm not so sure of the answer. i worked for Ivlis, that's what i know, but that's also a broad title. as far as i'm concerned, i could've been doing anything under his command, be it leading the army or sweeping the throne room. actually, i definitely wasn't leading the army. my position wasn't that important. i did help him during the gray world invasion, with poemi, but things were a bit different as poemi n i didn't go back to the flame world to officially initiate the invasion (i think?). i don't have memories of like, actually working or following orders, but the vibes i'm getting are 'intern tasked with fetching coffee for everyone'. those are just vibes tho,, and considering the lowly view of myself i used to have, i might've been more important than that

this is... probably one of the subjects i know the least about, which is ironic, considering that my job was the thing that changed the entire trajectory of my life

(🐕) did you have any pets?

didn't have like... Pet, pets, y'know. in-game, i have familiars, be it the dragon (yes, the monster in the darkness is a dragon, there are dragons in the flame world, i don't take criticism, i mean we literally have dragon claws) or some bats. but in my canon, there wasn't such a thing.

however, i did care for wild bats. i had, just outside my bedroom window, a bat feeder. it was like a bird feeder, but for bats instead of birds. i don't remember quite well what i used to feed them, but my house was a hot spot for bats because of it. i really liked it, they were probably my favorite animal, and sometimes, when i felt like shit, their chirping would lighten up my mood a bit. i remember sleeping with the fire crackling outside, and the wild bats by my window. unrelated to that, i sometimes still put fire sounds to fall asleep.

(🍓) what was a food you liked?

hey, haha.... well.. ada... you're gonna kill me for this, but... i'm 99% sure my favorite food was pizza. the italian flame demon agenda is real, i hate it here /lh

other than that, i really liked crunchy food, preferably really salty and somewhat meaty (?). i'm thinking barbecue flavored chips or something like that. there's the moment where versions of me start splitting and multiplying, because in my canon i don't remember eating sweets at all, but for everything else i write about myself, i like sweet things. it's weird to think about, but my sense of self has a history of being a bit loose, so having alternate versions of myself doesn't bother me.

one thing i know for sure is that i Did Not have a balanced diet

(🎮) what did you do in your spare time?

depends on which part of my life is being analyzed, really. during my childhood, spare time was kind of a weird concept, i don't think i ever really had free time. i mean, you could argue all my time was free because i didn't have any sort of obligations but also, i was using everything i had just to survive. so, i'm guessing any type of free time i had was used resting, but only if i could affort to turn myself off for the moment, it could lead to dire consequences if i didn't find somewhere safe to do so. also didn't have much free time when i first got into the army, only after i "graduated", if that makes sense. i don't think i mentioned it having a small training period... also don't think i did too well there, barely enough to pass. after that, everything is a blank until adauchi appeared in my life. then, during this time, pratically all of my free time was spent with him, just following him around like a lost puppy. we didn't do anything specific, except going to karaoke sometimes, but that was a small portion of our time together,, still good moments nonetheless. when he left, my time was eaten up by poemi and taking care of her, so again, during my spare time i'd just rest, sleep, or at least try to. i'd go through periods of sleeping way too much and unbeareable insomnia. as poemi got older and i no longer needed to take care of her, not receiving any other orders from the Devil, i had a lot of spare time on my hands. still, i would just lie in bed and do nothing. it was the time my depression just kept getting worse, so i barely had the energy to exist. again, i'd sleep when i was able to, but when the insomnia got me, i'd spend days staring at the ceiling and thinking way too much about my life being miserable.

(🚻) what was your gender and sexuality?

cis guy, nothing really interesting regarding that. but oh. i was so gay. so. fucking gay. painfully gay. i liked men (adauchi) so much it's not even funny, i swear. i mean i did find other men attractive and all but... adauchi. agh.

i say this because he was the one who made me realize i was gay. because of him i started to notice the difference, like, you're actually supposed to feel something when you're attracted to people. i never thought too hard about it because i'd shut it down every time it crossed my mind, i wasn't supposed to think about this kind of stuff anyway. but when interacting with adauchi, i couldn't stop myself from conjuring these images in my head, and feel very very flustered about it. if it wasn't for him i would've taken even longer to notice, or i wouldn't even have discovered this about myself. i'd spend years trying to date women. sounds like a nightmare (sorry women i think you're neat but it would be a disservice to do this to you)

(🧠) what is a memory that's on your mind right now?

this memory is very vague, so much that i have a hard time remembering it. i only have litte glimpses of it in my mind, very straightfoward, the context behind it is a mystery.

adauchi n i were sitting in my bed, in my house, i don't remember what we were doing before that, if he questioned me, if i just decided to say... but i finally told him i liked men, not women. it was really hard to get this out of my chest, my hands were shaking and i had to stop myself from crying. thinking back at it now, i most definitely experienced homophobia growing up, not directed at me but it got to me either way. it's funny, since in the funaverse (is this a thing) everyone is canonicaly bi unless steted otherwise. apparently, that was not a thing in my canon and homophobia was very real. either way, adauchi noticed that my hands were shaking and placed his own hands on top of mine, saying something along the lines of "it doesn't change anything." needless to say, i got really emotional over it and had to stop myself from crying way more than before. did shed a tear or two but i don't think he ever noticed. adauchi patted me in the back and squeezed my shoulder though, so i was probably not looking confident either way. i mean when did i ever.

he never asked how i discovered that, i'm glad. how was i supposed to say it was him? no way, i'd never. but i'm glad he showed me support, i genuinely thought he'd never want to look in my direction ever again. my perception at the time was that he was straight, which.. sounds like a criminal offense. when i think about it now, he was probably aroace, as i never saw him talk about people he was interested in, instead telling me no one interested him in general.

(⭐️) what is your favorite memory?

oh hey it's the memory that made me realize i was gay to begin with. i'm so fucking insane about this one i even have the date this flashed into my mind for the first time. december 23, 2020. fucking christmas adam. i've never been normal after that. (was i ever?)

this all came to me while listening to social climb by idkhow btw. i am humbly asking you to listen to it so you can really picture the situation this . thing. put me in. i'm sorry in advance .

it was my favorite song at the time even though it didn't really match my style of music, and i was wondering why. why did i like that song so much? in my train of thought, analizing it, i realized that the reason why i liked it so much... it's because it sounds just like adauchi singing. and in the same second, i had this flash, the clearest flashback of my entire life.

we were in a karaoke booth, we had been there for a while now. i was a bit tired (?) so i sat down for a moment and let adauchi take the spotlight for himself. he was probably tired too, seeing as he was sweating, so he chose something calm, but still very adauchi. cue, social climb. next thing i know, i'm watching him sing.

his voice was smooth, it carried a certain heat in it. he had a relaxed yet seductive on his face, eyelids half open and faint smile, staring at the lyrics on the screen as if he was gently teasing someone. i could see his pointy teeth sticking out a bit as he pronounced the words, moving his lips at the perfect mix of monotone and expressive. if he'd looked at me like that i would've died right there. i kept watched his expression attentively as the air started to leave my lungs, noticing the minuscule details of his face, how much his demeanor changed from what i was used to, how much he got into the song, how much it felt like he was singing to someone. i wanted it to be me. he had me on the palm of his hand, unknowingly, i was only his. with the spotlights on him, it was as if adauchi's body was glowing, sweaty, humid. i was unable to blink, pratically panting. when he took a break to clear his throat mid song, i watched him swallow, his throat moving while he did it, and i could only stare and hold my breath as he did it. then it hit me. i never wanted someone as much as i wanted him. i didn't just want him, i needed him. i needed to get on my knees and worship him like a god, have him hold me, be under his control. i felt insane but it was true. and these thoughts were going to haunt me forever.

god, this got.. horny.. and i'm posting it to tumblr. isn't that great. it didn't take me almost an hour to write because i kept remembering it and having to catch my breath, not at all. can you imagine lol

well. that's the story of how i realized i liked men, anyway. like i kinda knew before but uh. yeah. it was undeniable after experiencing this. i guess being in love with your best friend is the catch-all gay experience.

i will absolutely write fanfic about this one day and it's going to be so much hornier i'm sorry

(👑) what's something you remember that's close to or the same as canon?

taking a break from homosexuality for a minute.

i don't have clear memories of the gray world invasion, so i could be completely wrong, but i think most of it was pretty similar to the game....? i feel a bit insecure saying that so let me think of something else

i wasn't completely uncanon, but all the things and details i remember have enough differences that i feel like it's not really similar. the structure of the flame world, me, the people i knew, the things that happened.. either i have no idea or they were not really the same. the more i think about it, the more i think my canon was actually very distinct from the game and the universe as a whole

unsatisfying answer but i'm gonna say the general vibes of the flame world were the same, this kinda trashy place that no one's really happy to be in, but it's all they have

(🃏) what's something you remember that's different from canon?

i feel like i myself was a very different person from canon. like, out of everything i listed when talking about the differences between the game and my canon, i was the most different. either that or most of my memories relate to myself, so i feel more different. canon emalf was still a wet cat left in a cardboard box, but he was also much cooler than i was. that or he was waaay better at pretending, i mean, you take all of the most pathetic parts of him and multiply it by 10, and boom, you have me. i was weaker, less respected, my self esteem issues were much more noticeble, and to top it off, i mostly acted like adauchi and poemi's dog, following them like they had me on a leash. the least intimidating and most self concious guy to ever exist.

when i look at tgg emalf, i envy him. maybe if i was more similar to my in-game self, i wouldn't have died.

(🤓) what's something you remember being good at?

is.. is nothing an option...

sorry to be self-deprecating again, but it's true. back then, i didn't have any remarkable talents. or at least i don't remember any, my memories only have the things i wasn't good at. the one i was the best at, i suppose, is singing, but i wasn't extraordinary by any means. my voice cracked a lot, and it wasn't even all that pretty. but it's still something i was better at than everything else.

(💅) how do you remember yourself looking?

as i stated before, my eyes were less amber and more golden, like the Devil's. along with that, my hair was also way more red than canon. some people see it as pink, some people see it as brown, it's very ashy in general, but my hair color was dark red mixed... kinda like the hair color my body has now, when i dye it. so, if light brown hair was dyed deep red. i for sure wasn't paper white like in the game, i had at least a human skin color. also, my body type was a bit chubbier than other people, and a lot in comparison to funa's drawings. you'd think i was stronger for having a bigger body, but no, still weak. again, strength level is similar to what i have today, which is... not a lot. i wasn't like really tall or anything, i'd say avagare height for the other demons in the flame world, around 174cm? a bit taler than canon but i think everyone was

(😔) what's one thing you regret?

there is an obvious answer, and it's gonna weight the mood, but it's true.

the one thing i regret is ending my own life. i won't go into details because i don't like thinking about it, even though i do it constantly. the only reason i regret it is because poemi was the one to find my dead body. how do i know that? i was dead already, i shouldn't know. but i do. and that information is devastating. i don't regret it for myself, just for her. i wish i didn't make her go through that, i was so blinded by self hatred i thought she wouldn't miss me, but i was so, so wrong. it was impulsive, violent, something coming directly from the place i grew up on. makes me think that yes, i did belong there, even if there was a change in the tragectory of my life, that town was forever ingrained into my being.

i wish i stayed alive, just for her.

(♾️) summarize your memories in one sentence!

the most pathetic depressed gay you'll see in your lifetime is probably an unreliable narrator

Once More, With Feeling by FourthAxis | 10k words, last updated 2017 | Hannibal sat up, groggy from sleep and confused as he looked around. He was not in a hospital bed, nor the narrow cot of his prison. Or any prison for that matter. The bed was familiar, as was the room, because once they belonged to him before the machine of time and unfortunate events turned it into a walk-in museum for curious tourists. Or -- After taking a tumble off the cliff, Hannibal wakes up to a world several years in the past, his memories intact, and the fateful first meeting with Will just about to happen. This time around his priorities are a bit different.

les bois du cerf by Breakmybones (CarterReid) | 24k words | Will was different, that was obvious. He dreamed of killers, darkness and flames devouring feathers - things that no normal person would ever think of. But he wasn't normal. And neither was his soul-mark.

He Who Holds the Devil by astramaxima (shotgunsinlace) | 53k Words, WIP | A missing persons case turned homicide sends the FBI overseas, to a grisly scene at the foothills of a medieval castle. A decades old mystery slowly unravels into a complicated web of things best considered unreal, and left untouched. At the center of it, Will Graham bears the burden of madness and suspicion when all roads lead, inexplicably, back to him.

Mischief Nights: A Romantic Comedy for Serial Killers by astramaxima (shotgunsinlace) | 28k words | He’s supposed to be the lure, but somewhere down the line he lost complete control of the situation. It starts with a social worker inside a horse, followed by his psychiatrist driving an hour to the middle of nowhere to bring him homemade pumpkin spice coffee, and ends with an invitation to a dinner party on Halloween. The week can only get so much weirder.

More Myself Than I Am by StratsWrites | 9k words | Everyone has a soulmate. Someone they will connect with on such an intimate level that they are like one mind in two bodies. It comes on the cusp of adulthood, a shared link between two minds. It will start with feelings, emotions shared across the connection. Some people claim senses; smell and sound. Those who are thoroughly, intensely intertwined can claim to send their very thoughts towards each other, although it’s generally considered bad luck to use the connection to find each other sooner than you are meant to. It is a wonderful thing, to know that no matter who you are or what you’ve done, somebody out there will understand you. Or at least, it’s supposed to be.

The Borderland State by nekosmuse | T, 42k words | Three years after Hannibal's arrest, Will Graham stands on the front porch of his Georgian seaside home and watches twin headlights navigate the winding stretch of his lane. There is only one reason Jack Crawford would travel all this way, in the rain: Hannibal Lecter has escaped from prison, and no one knows where he is.

radon and its daughters by chaparral_crown | 59k words | Hobbs doesn't go away after he dies. Neither does his daughter, or Will's desire to keep her and any that are like her, or Hannibal's insistence that he must, no matter how ill-suited Will thinks he is to be a parent. Season 1 AU.

The Way A Knife Loves A Heart by Linpatootie | 23k words | Will Graham is unprecedented in Hannibal Lecter’s life and he falls for him with a kind of messy violence. This doesn’t bode too well for our Will, but he may not object to it as much as one might expect.

Freak Show

Summary: Her life was never simple or peacful. She was used to steel glimpses of happiness here and there. Yet she still was able to save him first

Chapter 1

"GRACE"

Goosebumps travelled all over my body when he I heard his voice. For seconds, life stopped around and I wished for it to stay that way. I squezed my eyes shut for a second and turned my body towards his voice, afraid to open them believing that if I don't see him then he is not actually here.

Forcing my eyes to open, I saw his tall figure walking steadily on the theater floor and heading towards me. My heart thumped so loudly in my chest that I was almost sure that i have lost my hearing. Seconds later he was at the bottom of the stage with a look that hints of what my night will look like.

"I guess Sadie is now living in the theater, doesn't she?" James saracastically questioned as he was eyeing the place around us.

" You told me that you were having a girl's night with Sadie in her house but turns out you are here instead."

"James, please, I will explain. Sadie had got us tickets and she kept nagging me to come here and I really wanted to do so. I swear it is no big deal. WE were leaving already. I'm sorry, so sorry. I didn't mean to come here without your permission." I was hyperventilating at this point. To anyone outside the conversation, I would look crazy and overreacting to what he is doing and saying; but I was the only who knew his true colors and how he actually is when no one is watching.

After our parents' passing six years ago, it became only me and him. He very well played the role of the big and protective brother that had to carry the weight of responsibility on his shoulders after our parents' accident. The one brother who loves his little sister and does all he can to protect the only family he has left; but it was all for the show.

Inside our house, James would turn a full on monster, a control freak that could not be controlled. He was older than me with five years with a degree and a stable job, meaning he had all the financial control over me. My parents were not fully trusting of their little girl, so they signed everything off to him and to his name, thinking that he will take care of everything for me including my living expenses and my colledge funds.

James did the complete opposite. He refused to give me my money, forced me to work not only one job but two and three sometimes just so I can afford to pay of the rest of my student loan. He made my life a living hell, a prison that I've been trying to escape everyday for the past six years and I've been failing over and over again. I was stronger, with more will power to free myself from James. But, the more I fought, the angrier her gets. The more I oppose him, the more vicious he gets. All of this was one thing but it got even more worse when started to put his hands on me. The very first times were subtle, a slap here and there when he gets mad at my stubbornness. Then, things got more violent and brutual every time. Nowadays I made peace with the idea that I became his personal punching bag. I no longer was able to detect when will it happen or how violent he will get. Yet, right now I can see it in his eyes. The blazing red in his puiples tells me that the night will be long and painful. I can already see the bruises and the regret of even stepping a foor outside my room has alreadt filled me to the brim.

"No need to panic, Grace. Step down and let's get you home safe first and then we can sit and talk about what happened." He said to me while tilting his head towards the stage stairs, ushering me to get down. I knew better than to let him wait more or to even say anything else. I started to head towards the stairs. My knees were almost giving out by the time I reached him. No one spoke another word to the other as we let the silence fill the air around leaving it full of anticipation from his end and dread from mine. He placed a hand over my shoulder usering me to head start walking outside the theater. To the people this might seem like a warm and protective sheild over his sister but I swear I had felt his hand leaving burn marks over my shoulder.

Almost completely out of the theater, I heard heavy footsteps coming towards. We both turned our heads to find an old man in his late seventies, trying to reach us before we leave.

"We truly apologize about the delay of tonight's show. You came to our theater for a show and you found nothing. We never want to disappoint our audiance and we want to truly apologize about ruinig your eveining young lady. Please if you don't mind, visit us again tomorrow and you will get the show you that you came here for." The man procceeds to give us both a two tickets similar that the one me and Sadie bought.

I extended my hand to take the tickets from the old man but James was faster than me. He took the two peices of paper and shoved them in the pockets of his jacket." We very much appreciate your offer but I am really sorry. We will not be able to make it tomorrow. My little sister has a college degree to get and I have dutites to fullfill in the station so it will be difficult for us to make it tomorrow. Good luck on your performance though" James replied with a voice dries than the Sahara desert.

"We just wish for you to accept our apology and we want nothing but gracing us with your presence tomorrow night for and we swear we will not disappoint." The old man said while his eye never leaving mine. "Please young lady". His pleas were werid as it was just a show that was never important in the first place.

"Thank you for the invitation, will see what can we do." James cut the conversation sternly and started walking outside the theater ushering me with him. I took another quick look at the old man who was still standing there with pleading eyes as if his life depends on me coming to the show tomorrow night. For some reason, I took another quick glance at the statue of the man in the chair on stage and I felt a strange need to see him again.

Daredevil (vol. 1) #117: Mind Tap!

Read Date: June 14, 2023 Cover Date: January 1975 ● Writer: Chris Claremont ◦ Steve Gerber ● Penciler: William Robert Brown ● Inker: Vince Colletta ● Colorist: Petra Goldberg ● Letterer: Dave Hunt ● Editor: Roy Thomas ●

**HERE BE SPOILERS: Skip ahead to the fan art/podcast to avoid spoilers

Reactions As I Read: ● attagirl ● ok, who is this silhouetted stranger who just kicked Natasha’s ass?

● Shanna! ● but Tasha, you spent your fortune on that house for you and Matt to live in (and it ended up being a rental??) so Matt owes you ● 👏👏👏👏

Synopsis: With Daredevil and the Black Widow as his prisoners, the Owl is planning on stealing Daredevil's mind. Explaining it to the Black Widow, the Owl is hooking up Daredevil to an absorption machine that will drain Daredevil's mind leaving him a mindless husk. The Black Widow manages to break free of her restraints and blasts the machines with a widows bite, destroying it and saving Daredevil's life.

As Natasha fights off an army of the Owl's men she holds her own until the Owl threatens to kill Daredevil unless she surrenders. With no other choice the Black Widow stops fighting and agrees to do the Owl's bidding in order to his bidding. He promises to let Daredevil go if she carries out a single task for him. As the Owl is briefing the Widow on her mission Ivan goes to police headquarters and speaks with Paul Carson to see if he has heard anything about Natasha recently. Paul agrees to go along with Ivan to look for the Black Widow.

That night the Black Widow carries out the Owl plot to kidnap a woman from a nearby condo, the identity and reasons of which the Black Widow has not been told. Attempting to capture the woman, Natasha finds herself up for quite the fight, when the lights are turned on she is shocked to find that the woman she has been sent to kidnap is none other than Shanna the She-Devil.

While in New York, Candace Nelson is excited that the government is opening in inquiry into the Sallis Papers and that she has been named a star witness. Foggy is less than impressed because she broke the law and got away with it, and despite her good intentions he feels that nobody is above the law.

Back in San Francisco, Ivan and Paul spot Black Widow swinging across the city with Shanna and decide to follow them. The two women are working together to free Daredevil, so when they arrive at the Owl's laid, Shanna pretends to be knocked out while the Black Widow brings her in. The Owl does not suspect this, nor is he aware of how Shanna recently gained super-human abilities since he recently got out of prison. So when Shanna springs an attack the Owl is caught off guard.

Although they free Daredevil, the Owl unleashes a blinding gas, which naturally has no effect on Daredevil because he is already blind. He attacks the Owl head on, however the crook attempts to make an escape, leaving Daredevil to defeat him on the streets with relative ease, even without his Billy-Club.

After having a new Billy-Club built for him by Ivan, Daredevil and Black Widow meet on the Golden Gate Bridge, where Daredevil asks Black Widow to come back with him to New York. She declines his offer, wanting to be able to make her own and not wanting to have to rely on him to support her. Daredevil accepts this and the two depart with a kiss.

𝐊𝐢𝐧𝗼𝐤𝗼 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐧𝗼𝐰??

Quackity was telling you all of his plans

He rambled on for hours of his ideas for casinos and how he was going to marry Karl and sapnap

It sounded great

He had his whole plan set up! He even had Sam helping him with the building

But then he left

Just like everyone else

But that was fine! You were just with sapnap

Before Karl came running over rambling on about needed to move his library

He had a library?

“[Redacted] you need to stay close, please”

You looked at him weirdly

Who the fuck was [redacted]

“Karl my names Y/n you idiot” “flame..” “sorry”

He didn’t even notice it and then you had to spend the next couple days hauling over 100 books

“Oo hey what are these! The covers look really weird”

You had found his time travel books

Woops

That man raced over and in the kindest way possible, snatched it from your hands

“Don’t touch those, they are my special books”

You just shrugged and let him be, he freaks you out enough

So you all traveled to this area in the spruce forest and built a really ugly mushroom hut

But hey it’s fine! Foolish thankfully came around later that day and made everything better

So you stuck around

Maybe you needed this, this new start

Oh but prime knows that wouldnt last long

Karl started forgetting

At first it was simple things as just forgetting where he was or little stumbles with names

But eventually he was going away longer and longer

He started calling you by these strange names, some that sound Victorian and western and others that are unlike you

One day he didn’t call you by your name at all

You were hanging around the Sakura trees and the big yin Yang pond waiting for sapnap to come back with George

Then you saw Karl exit the library, running up to him for a hug

It’s been two months since you’ve seen him

You fucking hated it but you couldn’t help but consider him another parental figure

He loved it

But he just stood there as you wrapped your arms around him

Expecting the usual “[reda]- Y/n, I’ve missed you so much my sweet flame!”

But there was nothing just a sad one sided hug

“Hello? I’m sorry but do I know you?”

You were ready to cry

“I’m sorry, I uh must’ve mistaken you for the wrong person” “No that’s fine! Hugs are nice?”

So you left and ran into the library

Scouring throughout all of the books until you found them

The same 8 books you shrugged away

You read through all of them along with Karl’s other journals

You didn’t like going through his stuff especially, a whole invasion of privacy

The more you read the worse it got

What were you gonna tell Sapnap?

Who the hell is James, and [redacted]?

And why couldn’t he stop

It’s no use anymore

You were simply just forgotten

𝐋𝗼𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐬

The closer you got to the large building, the sicker you got

Kinoko Kingdom was supposed to be your free pass

But somehow you always end up here

You called for Sam on the comms waiting for the beep

The inside looked great to say the least

“What are your past relationships with the prisoner?” “No answer.”

“Where are you currently resided?” “No answer”

“Do you believe the prisoner deserves his sentence?” “Maybe”

You put all your shit in the locker and followed him through all the safety checks

“I’m glad you didn’t bring anything with you”

You stood on the platform heart racing as the lava went down

It was like a ticking time bomb

The small squeaks and scratches of the hovering bridge

He just stared at you

That sick stupid mask was broken by tommy that day in the black stone room

So you had to look into his face

Lets just say he looks good in Orange

“Barrier up or down?” “Down”

He backed up into the corner as you stepped in

Smiling

Once the lava cascaded down your smile turned into a sick frown

“Hello” is that all he had to fucking say?

“Screw you. Fuck you. Damn you”

He just looked you a small chuckle escaping from his lips

“Those all mean the same thing.” “Well I’ve been living in cinnamon town for the past couple months, and I’m ready to fucking burn some buns”

Yeah he just laughed

“I’ve missed you Hot shot”

“You ruined our damn life!”

Someone went quiet

“If you didn’t have to have a petty little war, or criminalize children we could’ve been fine! It could’ve just been you, dad, me, and George.”

You were pissed, everyone just kept leaving you.

Tommy and Tubbo, Quackity, Karl, Dream, and hell even Wilbur

“You come and visit me, after not having seen me for months and you just yell? Not a hello or ‘how are you dream?’ ‘How’s prison dream’ ‘how can I help you get out of this damn place’ “

You just sat down ready to just walk out into the lava

“I’ve been stuck here for months! None of you even cared enough to visit me, hell even Tommy came around.”

You might have felt a little bad after leaving him

The prison was cold even tho lava was flowing right there

“Why would you leave the discs alone..” “Because I had to end it.”

What were you doing here

What were you planning on saying?

“So, what do you do in prison”

“I have a clock.”

You got up to go look at the pretty clock

Then threw it at his face

“Ow” “deal with it bitch”

The longer you stayed the worse the feeling in your stomach got

so you buzzed for Sam waving goodbye

“Wait.. Do they miss me?” “Can’t say, but I think this may be for the best.”

He wanted his best friends

But he just got the annoying teenager

Oh but that wouldn’t be the last

𝐋𝐚𝐬 𝐍𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐬

You got a letter in the mail one day

Who the hell uses letters??

You were shocked to see the address and the small post card

“Come around some time”-Quackity

Ans on the back it had the cords

Oh well what did you have to loose? Sapnap was focused on Karl

and well Karl didn’t even know you

So you set off

It took you a couple hours travel by horse to get to the desert area

The large sign blaring in the red text

You gotta admit the place looked beautiful

There was a giant dick and different shops

You were shocked to see this random un human like guy

“Hello, I am Charlie a totally human guy!”

Yeah totally not slime

“I’m uh, Y/n?” He reached out for a handshake sort of thing

“Dap me up!” “Another time Charlie”

Maybe when you had hand sanitizer

“Ohh so your Y/n! Mister Quackity talks about you all the time, come on in!”

You were skeptical but followed anyways

Stopping in your tracks when you saw Fundy

“Furry?” “Fire shit?”

You went over to give him a side hug, ruffling his fur

“What the hell are you doing here ginger boy!” “Oh you know, just escaping nightmares”

You were confused then just let him be

You walked to the entry way of the place

A beautiful pond with flowers and an arch

“Did what the place where Mr. Quackity was going to propose!”

Going to?

You shrugged it off following inside

You hated to admit it, but you were excited to see him

Yeah you really needed a parental figure in your life at the moment

So when you saw him, he immediately pick you up in a hug

You didn’t fail to notice his change in appearance

That beanie stayed the same tho

Thank god

“Hey hey! Let me show you around the place, we can also go for lunch and talk.”

The casino looked great to say the least

Loud music booming from the speakers, along with the live jazz band on the side

Slot machines were going off every minute

“Have a chip, something to remember this by”

He handed you a red poker chip

It was a cool one tho, in the middle has a blocky sort of smile

Creepy and dopey.. sick!

So you put it around a spare silver chain

“So how have you been kid? ‘Ts been a while hasn’t it.” “Could be better..”

You both walked around the city in silence, offering to go in the super model shop

“No” “why not” “keep walking”

On your way to lunch you had to squint at what you were seeing

“Oh my goodness you’re still alive?!” “You’re alive!?”

You and revivebur just stared at one another

“Yeah he came back after I died!” “you what now-“

You just stared at Tommy and back to Wilbur

Oh god those shrooms were messing with your head

You should’ve gotten out of there a while ago

Quackity came over placing his hands on your shoulders

“Do I have to execute you both? Get off my damn property”

“Sorry Q. Say, Y/n wanna join Lmanburg 2.0?”

You back away holding your hands up

“I denied that offer once, and I’ll do it again. Fucking zombie freaks”

You obviously muttered the last part

Why the fuck did dream revive those two shits??

When did Tommy even die??

Your visit here has just gotten weirder and weirder

𝐌𝗼𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬

Quackity got you away from the brits as quick as he could

So he brought you over to his office

“So kid, how’s your dad..”

Ah you expected this question

“How the fuck am I supposed to know. He’s living his life, Karl’s time traveling! Oh yeah did I mention he doesn’t even remember me.”

He looked at you with wide eyes

“So I’m not the only one they forgot..”

You slammed you hands on the fable dramatizing the situation

“How would you feel about moving here? I mean you could work for me in the casino!”

You thought about it for a second

You have two options

1. Live in shroom town with bubbles

2. Move to las Nevada’s with Quackity

You were sure Sapnap wouldn’t mind

I mean would he even care?

He hasn’t for the past couple months!

“You feel abandoned there, over here there are hundreds of people. You’ll have the time of your life”

You thought about it for a sec

“Alright hand me a contract”

So you signed

Making deals with the devil huh

Little did you know it would cost you your life

Devils little soul

➳➳➳➳➳┄┄※┄┄➳➳➳➳➳

and this is the finale! I will take requests for sapnaps child, and I’ll do some shit with Quackity and the casino and go in more depth if wanted!

As always request and ask anything! And ask if you want to be on a taglist (child reader or general)

For those on the taglist I don’t know if you wanted to be tagged for all child reader shit or just dreams child.. so please tell me :)

HBO Max New Releases: August 2021

https://ift.tt/3A1bKHN

Back when WarnerMedia (which technically no longer exists in the same form) announced that it would be premiering its entire slate of 2021 films on HBO Max, this is the kind of month they likely had in mind. For HBO Max’s list of new releases in August 2021 is highlighted by an honest-to-goodness blockbuster.

The Suicide Squad is set to premiere Aug. 5 on HBO Max. This film featuring some of DC Comics’ most curious villains borrows its name, format, and many of its characters from the David Ayers-directed 2016 film Suicide Squad. This time around, the rogues gallery is directing by James Gunn (Guardians of the Galaxy) and his colorful disposition. In addition to The Suicide Squad, August sees the arrival of the Hugh Jackman-starring Reminiscence on Aug. 20.

How The Suicide Squad is Different from Guardians of the Galaxy

By Mike Cecchini

It’s a good month for movies overall on HBO Max. Many intriguing library titles arrive on Aug. 1, including Collateral, The Fugitive (1993), The Shawshank Redemption, and Spawn. The Jurassic Park trilogy (Aug. 14), and Godzilla v. Kong (Aug. 17) make their return to the Warner streaming service a little later on.

HBO Max’s original TV offerings can’t compete with The Suicide Squad in August 2021, but there is still plenty to enjoy. The third season of erstwhile DC Universe series Titans premieres on Aug. 12. That will be followed by the second season of former Comedy Central delight The Other Two.

Cork History | The First Hot Air Balloon in Cork

by Michael Lenihan

The first hot air balloon which was named Aerostat Reveillon was launched on September 1783. The passengers comprised of one sheep, one rooster and one duck and the balloon remained airborne for a grand total of fifteen minutes before crashing to earth. King Louis XVI of France had originally decreed that condemned prisoners were to be used as guinea pigs for these pioneering experiments but this was later rescinded. The first manned attempt was on November of that same year when Joseph and Etienne Montgolfier flew their hot air balloon over Paris for nearly twenty minutes.

Only five months after the first successful launch the balloonists turned their attention to Cork. One can only assume that the geographical location and weather conditions of Cork were ideal for this new form of transport. On the 27March 1784 the hot air balloon ascended near the Mardyke at approximately four o’clock much to the curiosity of the huge crowd of spectators who had gathered for the event. This successful airborne adventure finished at six o’clock when the balloon descended at Cooper’s Hill after covering a total distance of eighteen miles.

 Before its descent it was observed by John Moynihan, a curious resident of the district who saw this bizarre apparatus floating high up in the sky.  He was quite convinced that it was the work of the devil, however his interest made him follow it to its landing spot. He had never heard of these wonderful flying objects before and when he saw flames coming from the tube at the end of the balloon he was quite convinced that it was Lucifer himself about to land. Shortly afterwards he observed that the so called demon had landed between two rocks and had been secured by strong ropes as if it were a prisoner.

The airmen brought it home and the neighbours having heard of this weird flying machine gathered in numbers nearby. Unfortunately, a spark subsequently landed near the inflated balloon causing the flammable gases to explode making a sound louder than thunder and a man and a woman were badly burned. There was complete consternation, and people ran everywhere desperate to escape this fiery monster. Several women fainted and those that ran to safety were convinced that they had escaped from the fires of hell. Fortunately the first ascent of a hot air balloon flying over Cork had ended successfully for its brave Aeronauts.
