I'm Still Your Boy
Tumblr media
Ex=boyfriend!Eddie x fem!reader
After your boyfriend cheats on you at your birthday party, your ex Eddie reminds you that he'll always be your shoulder to cry on.
cw: hurt/comfort, mention of cheating
You don’t know what you did to deserve this. Maybe it’s because of something you did in a past life. Some sort of karma, perhaps? Whatever the reason, you don’t think you actually deserve to be cheated on by your boyfriend. Your boyfriend who told you that he wanted to save himself for you and you alone, which seemed to be a fucking lie just to get in your pants considering you caught him with the very girl he told you not to worry about. 
They were fucking and to make it even more sad, they were fucking in your bed at your birthday party. Well, wasn’t that just the cherry on top of the shit sundae? And they were so caught up in each other that they didn’t even hear you slam the door. 
Before anyone could see you cry, you hurry to the bathroom, thankful that you’re upstairs and that no one else was around. What’s supposed to be a fun celebration has turned into something you’ll remember forever for all the wrong reasons. 
As soon as you’re alone, you sit on the toilet and begin to cry. Maybe you feel a bit pathetic but you can’t help it. Sure, it’s not like you actually loved the man, but it still hurts like hell. Especially when Josh told you time and time again that Chelsea would never be a problem. 
And now you find yourself wondering how long they’ve been doing it behind your back. And why you feel so hurt. It’s not like you even liked him that much. And now this is the excuse to break up with him that you’ve been looking for. 
You’re full on sobbing now and it’s not like you’re surprised, you were expecting it to happen with the way they’re always looking at each other, but you’d think your boyfriend would at least have some decency to not cheat on you at your birthday party. But apparently that was too much to ask. 
You grab some toilet paper from the roll next to you and blow your nose, absolutely positive that you look terrible with mascara tears streaming down your cheeks, but you can’t get yourself to look. That would just make you feel even worse. You spent hours on your makeup and now you let some stupid boy ruin it in a matter of minutes. 
Eddie doesn’t even know what he’s doing at this party. He wants to be here, but he’s not even sure why he was invited. The two of you broke up years ago and even though it was mutual and there was no bad blood, you just drifted apart. 
He feels so weird being here in this house. There are so many memories that the two of you have created here, a time capsule of your relationship. He wants to be there to celebrate you, but being there with all of the little moments the two of you shared throughout your relationship is far too painful to relive. He misses you so much more than he’d ever care to admit. 
He wants to be your friend again, but seeing the way your new boyfriend was glaring daggers at him when everyone was singing “Happy Birthday”, he’s not so sure that’s a good idea. He’s only known he guy a couple of hours and he’s already convinced with a few drinks in his system, he’d knock him the fuck out. 
His name is Josh for starters. Fucking Josh. That should be a red flag on its own. He also somehow got you the wrong cake which was clearly mostly for him since he seemed so excited about it. That seemed to be a common theme considering the same went for your gift. He got you a video game for a system that you don’t even have and it was the second one in a series. 
And Eddie swore he wasn’t going to leave the party alive when you opened your gift from him. It was a special edition of your favorite book as a child and if looks could have killed, he would have been dead. You seemed so grateful for the gift, even going as far as hugging Eddie, nothing but happy tears pricking your eyes. 
He didn’t realize just how much he missed holding you until you were in his arms again. You just fit so perfectly. Before he could reminisce too much, you pulled away, moving back to sit in Josh’s lap, but he was nowhere to be found. 
Out of all of your friends who were there, Eddie seemed to be the only one who could tell just how little fun you were having. How was it that you seemed to be invisible at your own birthday party? Why was he the only one who seemed to care? The two of you weren’t even friends anymore. Maybe after tonight, that’ll change.He really wants to reconnect. Maybe he can invite you out for coffee and the two of you can catch up. 
It’s almost midnight. Most of the guests have already left or they’re so drunk that they’ve passed out on the various pieces of furniture around the first level of the house. You’ve disappeared and that’s all Eddie cares about. He wants to find you so he can say goodnight and get the fuck out of there before he does something he’ll regret. 
He heads up the stairs on the hunt for you, but he realizes that he needs to go to the bathroom first. He knows he should anyway before he hits the road. He sees the bathroom door is cracked and heads for it, opening it expecting to see it empty, but he finds you sitting on the toilet sobbing your eyes out. 
“Eddie, hey,” you grin at him, trying your best to look normal even though your eyes are red and your cheeks are tear stained. 
“Hey.” He waves awkwardly in a way that you’ve always found so adorable. “Sorry, I didn't know anyone was in here. I’ll give you some privacy. He turns to leave, but you grab hold of his wrist before he can get too far. 
“Will you stay with me?” You ask with a sniff. He would stay with you even if you weren’t crying, but he especially will because you are. 
He shuts the door all the way then sits on his knees in front of you, forcing himself to look at you even though seeing you cry always broke his heart. He doesn’t know why you’re crying but he has a guess. He doesn’t ask even though he really wants to. He wants to wait for you to speak, not wanting to pry, but just keep you company as you go through a hard time. 
He takes the toilet paper from you and wipes away your tears, gently dabbing to preserve what little makeup is left. He knows how important that kind of thing is to you. Well, he’s actually not so sure you feel that way still. He forgets that he doesn’t actually know you anymore. 
“I look terrible, don’t I?” You look up at him, lips trembling and he really doesn't think he can take seeing you cry anymore. It’ll just make his heart break even more than it already has.
“You look beautiful as always.” It’s his go-to response but it always worked like a charm. He wonders if his flirting still has the same effect on you. He used to love seeing the way you’d get all giggly when he would compliment you. 
“But you have to say that, you’re my-” you cut yourself off, remember that Eddie isn’t your boyfriend anymore. Your boyfriend is the reason why you’re crying. “Sorry, habit.” 
“Don’t apologize,” he shakes his head. “You do look beautiful, though. That dress is great, but I wouldn’t expect anything less. You always did have good style, y/n.” 
“Is this all just your clever way of getting into my pants?” The words are dripping with venom and Eddie wonders what he said that made everything shift. He was just paying a compliment, nothing more, nothing less. 
His eyes widen and he stammers, trying his best to save himself quickly as he’s drowning fast. Your eyes widen as well so clearly you’re just as surprised by your sudden outburst. You have no idea where it came from especially since Eddie has never been that kind of guy and he especially wouldn’t be now knowing that you have a boyfriend.
“No,” he finally says as he’s able to find the words. “I was just paying you a compliment and you know that.” 
“I-I’m sorry.” You’re shaking your head, hating how you’ve spoken to him, accusing him  of something that he clearly wasn’t even doing. “I just caught Josh cheating on me and I guess I’m taking it out on you.” 
“He what?” Oh now he’s livid. He’s got to kiss this guy’s ass now that he finally has an excuse. 
“It’s my fault,” you shake your head again. “I wasn’t giving him enough attention-” your words are cut off by Eddie taking your face in his hands, staring you down. 
“It’s not your fault. Stop making excuses for him y/n. That guy is a fucking loser and he doesn’t deserve you. He deserves to end up broke and alone.” You know he’s right but just want to pass the blame onto yourself because then there would actually be a reason for Josh’s cheating other than the fact that he just doesn’t seem to care about you. 
“You always know what to say, don’t you?” He does in your eyes. ever since the two of you started hanging out, he had a knack for telling you exactly what you needed to hear even if it was a little too blunt for your liking. You appreciated that he never failed to tell you the truth no matter how much it may have hurt.
“I try.” It seems like all of your feelings for each other that have been bottled up are pouring out, now almost palpable because of how strong they are.
“I miss you.” 
“I miss you too,” Eddie replies, moving his thumbs back and forth across your cheeks just like he used to do. “I’ll be kicking myself for letting you slip through my fingers for the rest of my life.”
“What if we gave it another try? The friendship part?” Your face lights up at his suggestion and you decide that this is the best birthday present you’ve ever received. 
“I’d really like that. Hey, I think Benny’s is still open. Do you want to get something to eat?” 
“I’d love nothing more.” Eddie helps you up from the toilet and leads you out the front door where you head to his van to head to the diner. 
The two of you find yourselves in your favorite booth, eating and laughing like no time has passed. You stay there into the early morning as the sun comes up, finishing off your meal with a milkshake that the two of you share for old time’s sake and right then and there, Eddie realizes that he’s still is very much your boy, still wrapped around your goddamn finger just the way he likes and there’s no other place he’d rather be.

A random idea that I'm not ever sure I'm going to pick up and finish. AU is that everyone lives in a movie genre and the universe if governed by the rules of that genre. Bruce, fed up with being a failed lover interest, starts to adopt kids from other genres.
-----
"I don't get it," Dick says, standing at the top small set of stairs and looking down them. There's like six of them, hardly enough to actually call it a staircase. Dick could probably jump the full way down without hurting himself. It's definitely not a flight, just six steps to get from the raised dias of the bank's entry to the street. But Bruce is still hesitating at the top, staring at them like they are a snake curled up in the grass. 
The man who had assigned himself Dick's father (He doesn't need a father. He doesn't have parents. His parents are dead. Killed. For eight years, their case has gone untouched as cold as their corpses. He needs to solve it. He needs to find the killer. He has to. He has to. He has to...) drags his eyes from the stairs to Dick.
"You live in a *rom com*," Dick practically spat the words. He had been growing to hate this saturated colour, plastic world. There were too many people. None of the streets were ever empty. Movements from the corners of his eyes that his brain screamed could be someone pulling a gun, someone reached for a knife, someone passing a drug off to another, was usually just a woman dressed in LuLulemon pulling her yappy dog along. It was maddening the way that his brain wasn't built for this. He saw people doing things and his mind screamed that it was clues! It was evidence! You need to investigate it! You need. You need. You need.
But he doesn't. Because he doesn't exist here. The Graysons don't exist here. No one has been killed in this city for over 100 years apparently. The worse crime in the paper had been when Miss Betty accidentally stole cupcakes because her and Joe's orders got mixed up. They were getting married now apparently.
Dick shook his head trying to dislodge the part of him that was screaming that he was missing a clue. He tried to focus on the present. Him. Bruce. Stairs.
"This is a romantic comedy," he repeated. "It's all about love, so what's the fucking worse thing that could happen on the stairs."
"*It seems I've fallen for you*," said Bruce suddenly, his voice so devoid of emotion it startles Dick. Dick's eyes snap up to meet the other man's eyes, but Bruce is still looking at the stairs.
"That's the part of the script," he continues, his voice blank. It's disconcerting. Dick has only heard him peppy or bubbly or other words that paint him as a happy-go-lucky dog. He's never heard... this. "I fall down the stairs and I... I break something. I lay there until she's suppose to rush in. She's supposed to be a nurse or a doctor or maybe just someone with first aid training. She's supposed to treat me until the ambulance comes and I'm supposed to say *'it seems I've fallen for you'*"
Bruce finally looks at Dick and he can't even describe what's in the man's eyes. It's... he would almost call it haunted. The same glint that he has when he stares in the mirror.
"I've broken my leg from falling down stairs 48 times. I've broken one of my ankles 53 times. My left arm 18 and my right 26. Three times it's been my collarbone. One time after two flights, it was my back. I was paralyzed from the neck down. I couldn’t move a damn finger, so I just laid there in pain until the clock hit midnight and everything reset. And that’s just the staircase falls. There’s also the open manholes, the broken railings, getting hit by a car, a couple of times where a bridge gave out from under me. Any of them will do as long as I end up hurt and on the ground."
Dick stared. Coldness washed through his veins, fixing him to the spot. For the first time since he got here, fear settled into the pit of his stomach. The only thing he could think to say was: "I thought that nothing went wrong here?"
Bruce gave a harsh laugh that seemed more fitting for Dick's genre. "Everything works out if you actually have someone who wants to love you. If your love interest isn't interested or she just doesn't bother to turn up... well, the universe keeps trying to correct itself even if that means you have to lay in a crumpled, bloody heap at the bottom of stairs for a few hours."
He... he didn't know what to say. Say that he was sorry? That Bruce didn't have anyone coming to love him?
He looked back at the stairs and saw them how Bruce saw them. He tried to figure out what to say, but Bruce just turned on his heel.
"Let's go find the wheelchair ramp."

Because you are my partner | Jun-ho x Fem!Detective!Reader
Tumblr media
Warnings: Takes place after the end of S1 - Some events from S2 - Does not follow canon events in order - Angst - Guns - Unspoked feelings -
The first thing Jun-ho never expected to listen when he woke up at the hospital after being shot by his brother no less were cries and insults.
Insults that were for him.
"You stubborn idiot! Why did you not tell me, why did you go alone, look at you now. Fucker if you dont wake up im killing you myself, you little-"
"I thought you would be more worried" Jun-ho said, voice hoarse since he havent drank any water in a long time. His vision was still a bit blurry, but he could locate your voice anywhere.
"You! YOU ARE ALIVE!!" You revealed your red face from crying and went to hug him, trying not to hurt him. "Never do something like that again"
~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○
Time passed, Jun-ho got demoted from detective, even when you, the second best in the division besides him, you had threated to leave as well, but In-ho insisted you not to. He knew how much you had worked for this position, he would not let you fall behind cause of him.
"Its not fair" You said one night at his aparment being a bit drunk "Yeah, what you said its kind of crazy and you have no proof but..."
"(Y/N) stop it, its pointless"
"But you would never make a lie like that. You dont like crime, you hate it. Since your brother went missing...no you would never play with something like that" You said convinced taking a big gulp of your beer.
"I think you had enough beer for tonight" Jun-ho went to take the beer can from you but you held his hand.
"I believe you, I dont care how crazy it sounds I believe you Jun-ho"
Like that, he felt less lonely.
~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~
"I think I told you this was not something you should keep doing" Jun-ho told you as you passed iced coffee to his fellow companion and him. "We are not allowed to drink when working..."
"Then take a dam breath, its summer. The streets feels like they are on fire" You told him on a stern tone taking a sip from your own drink
"Should you not be at the sitation?" He asked
"You wont believe how much criminals like to do nothing when its as hot as today. We mostly get calls at night. Nothing like, well nothing like what you are looking for" You added in a quiet voice
"I told you, I left that behind"
"Yeah sure you did, you dont give up that easily, always has been like that. Since we were at the police school. And, you cant lie to me. Im your partner, remember ?"
"Actually-"
"Shut up and drink the dam ice coffee your cheecks are red as a fruit"
~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~
One year went on. You were assigned anothet partner but you were being a bit childish and did not like working with him.
It was not his fault, you were just so used to Jun-ho that any other person just felt....wrong.
"(Y/N) you need to stop it" Jun-ho said while you two ate some lunch
"I know, but can you blame me? I cant work well with him, he is too-"
He is not you. Thats what you wanted to say but you had to bite your tongue.
"Is he misstreating you?" Jun-ho asked getting protective, he knew you had pass for hard situations during your training just because you were a women.
He would be on your side during these moments, both when you faked feeling strong and when you needed to vent out and cry.
"No. He is...different. I just need to get used to him"
"It has been almost a year..."
"I know just- give me some more time. Also I want to meet that captain that saved you. Maybe we can go and fish together.
Jun-ho went silent after it. He was reclutant to do so, since he had been looking for the island he was in, but he had told you he had long stopped, he did not want to put you at risk.
"Maybe tomorrow..." He said in a low voice, knowing that you would kept insisting. And maybe he would be able to keep the lie.
~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○
Things have been good so far, In-ho managed to convince you to meet him and the captain at a near restaurant.
The three were drinking in just enjoying the time. Sharing stories, jokes, just having a good time.
"Thanks for saving his ass, he can be quiet a pain" You said to the older men who just smiled.
"Dont say it Lass, he still has me looking around for that dam island..."
And the good time shattered, your eyes turned cold as you looked at him.
"Is he? Please tell me more captain"
~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○
"You told me you had stopped" You said angry at him. "Told me to stop looking into details at the deparment, do you know how much I did risk!"
"Yes! I know, thats why I told you to stop. I did not want you to put your career in danger"
"When will you understand ? You dont have to do this alone. Im your friend! Fuck we have know each other for years, if I want to help you and put my career at risk, then let me do it. Im an adult I know what im doing.
"No, I could never ask you for something like that. You know the story, these peopel are dangerous and well prepared if something would happen to you..."
"Do you think it was easy? For me? When you dissapear? There was no way on finding you, some told me to move on. But I never stopped beliving in you, knowing that you would not leave like that"
Of course not, I would never leave you.
"Listen, I understand. Really, but you cant stop me. I want to help you, and I will do so. Let me lend you a hand. Maybe this time you will catch them"
Jun-ho was conflicted, he knew having some backup would help him. But he did not want you at risk, why if you ended like him? Trapped there ? Or worse ?
But he also knew you were a hard one. Someone who once they had set their mind on something were not easy to give up. Maybe it would be better that way, making sure on having you at his side while he worked and looked for information.
"Alright, no more secrets. We will work on this together, but if something seems to be just a little bit dangerous you are out"
~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~
And like that another year went by. Both looking to find that island and whatever information (Y/N) could get from the station.
"Most are peopel with big debts" Jun-ho said one afternoon, the cold of the winter hitting their noses leaving them red. "Maybe some have criminal record"
"Yeah but their families would have to denounce then as lost. If these peopel just vanish some would think they ran away because of their debts. I will still check on the records..."
Jun-ho nodded grateful to have her working with him.
"You dont remember any name? Or face?" (Y/N) asked him, making him stop. He did remember his brother shooting him but he could never say it out loud. "The players used numbers..." Still him mind was working like he was missing something...
And then it clicked
"Wait...I may know someone"
"Really? You can tell me their name and I will look into it"
"Seong Gi-hun, thats the name"
~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○
"Are you sure he is here?" Jun-ho asked a faint blush on his cheecks as both of you looked up from inside the car.
"Yes, I asked a friend from another work to look up, he owns this place and has no direction of a current home. Maybe he manages the place or lives here..."
"Well, last time I saw him he did not look like someone who would manage a love hotel" Jun-ho said, voice trying to hide his nerves.
His mind wondering to things, like you. You two on a date, that would end with something more. He would be a gentlemen during all it. And he would take you to his home and do it on his bed, not a meaningless place like a love hotel.
And he would do that and more because he...
"Hey look!! That one, is not him?" You asked seeing a man getting from a car and going inside the hotel.
"It is. Stay here" Jun-ho ordered but before he could get out from the car you held his arm back.
"What? No!" You said not beliving his words "Im going in with you, we are a team, get it in that tick skull of yours"
"Listen (Y/N) I saw these games, if he is here then its because he won. He murdered peopel. He cant be trusted"
"These are just more reasons for me to go in with you" You declared, "You have my back and I have yours, thats how this relationship works"
Jun-ho looked to the side to hide his blush and recluntantly nodded "Alright..."
Unkown to them Gi-hun had been checking the cameras and had spotted their car. He held his gun not knowing who they were.
~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~
Reunions are never easy. Even less when its with peopel you dont trust.
"Who are you? Why are you following me?"
And less when guns are involved.
Maybe Jun-ho had lost his touch, his day giving out speed tickets have passed him consequences. Otherwise he would never have let himself be jumped and have a gun pressed against his head.
"Im a police officer, I just want to talk" Jun-ho said trying to ease the situation but only got Gi-hun to press the gun harder.
"How do I know you are not with them?"
"Cause we have been looking for them too" You said gun raised at Gi-hun who looked suprised for a moment but did not move. "Drop the gun Seong Gi-hun we are aiming for the same goal"
"Yeah? How can I trust any of you? Or what you said?"
"We want to stop the games too" Jun-ho said from beneath him "Thats why we have been following you, you are our only lead"
Slowly Gi-hun removed his gun and let Jun-ho get on his feet.
"I never said a thing about games..."
"Yeah...thats why we have been looking for you. Jun-ho here was in but doing kind of a double agent work. Without help"
Gi-hun had to supress a smile at your stern tone.
"Wait, you are the police who asked me about it. During that time.."
"Im, and this is (Y/N) a fellow police officer and the person I trust the most to end this"
~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~
"Train stations? A Man in a suit? Ddakji and getting slapped?" You asked while counting with your fingers the major things Gi-hun and told you and Jun-ho.
He had a big map of the stations with lots of marks and points. He was indeed looking for someone.
"Yes, I know it sounds crazy, but its like that. You get a card with a number, you call it and then you are part of the games" He said serving three coffees "It has been two years and i havent been able to find him"
"Well, now you have two more peopel to count with" You said smiling a bit "We can ignore the criminals that are working for you..."
"(Y/N)...." Jun-ho said but you cut him off.
"What? More peopel means more eyes and less space to cover. Besides its not like we have proof that they do something bad, and you know with. Without proof theres nothing you can do"
Gi-hun had departed both of you. Giving one of his many phone numbers and warning that these peopel were dangerous.
But deep down he was grateful, grateful that there was someone else out here who had seen the same.
"Dont worry, we will catch them" You shaked his hand noticing how he seemed to be sad and stressed, you could only imagine how bad things have been for him.
~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~
"What do you think?" Jun-ho asked as he drove back to your aparment.
"I think he is being honest and will accept our help. Besides no one does so much without a reason" You said having take note of his deep search for that man, the multiple guns he had and the cameras around. "He is scared too"
"Well...he does have a reason to be" Jun-ho softly said stopping outside your complex "I never asked you, why help me so much? I know we are friends but this is a big league, worse than any case you had ever seen"
Because I love you. I have been in love with you for so long. I cant seem to live knowing you put your life at risk without any help. I dont want to repeat the time when you vanish and I see my life with you in it-
"Cause you are my partner, and...I care for you" You said and left the car before he could respond to hide your blushing face
"Wait!! (Y/N)" Jun-ho screamed pulling the window down. You stopped looking over your shoulder "I- I care for you too"
He started the car leaving the window down, too nervous, he could track down dangerous criminals and be undercover for the worse criminal gangs, but confessing his feelings to you...
He was not ready, at least not yet.
~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○
You went into your aparment, heart beating fast as you went in. The darkness welcomed you, just as you turned for the lights you hear a click.
A gun click.
"Well, you must be (Y/N)...I must admit you are more beautiful than what the photos show"
You turned around one hand ready to go for your own gun. Before you stood a man, tall dark hair, and black eyes, wearing a expensive suit.
"I recommend you to not try anything stupid. I just want to talk. And maybe we can play game"
~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○~○

wtf. he did nothing wrong. he went to meet someone who was legally of age and who consented to meet him. he didn't try to assault her nor did he believe that he was going to meet a minor.
also, even if he HAD done something wrong he would still have a right to a trail and fair treatment and would not deserve to be beaten by vigilantes without a trial. And even if he had a trial and was found guilty he still wouldn't deserve to be beaten to death because even criminals have rights.
But in this case he wasn't even a criminal. a bunch of crazy extremists beat and almost killed someone who did nothing criminal because they don't approve of a 3 year age gap. like they literally tried to lure a man to his death. and were so out of touch that they proudly recorded their own crime. they should be charged with attempted kidnapping and assault at the very least, and quite possibly attempted murder.
this is despicable.

You know, it drives me crazy to know that technically there’s two (at least in terms of prominence cause I think there’s also a TFA one though it doesn’t seem as talked about) canonical Shattered Glass continuities: the one made by FunPub and the IDW reboot.
Cause the thing is, those two comics have vastly different Megatrons and Optimus Primes.
Like we have FunPub Megatron who is a mathematician and Optronix who was a librarian that backstabbed his way to the top.
Then we have the IDW versions where Megatron is a miner/civil activist who keeps getting tossed into jail and Orion Pax who is a senator in this version.
And what fascinates me is that in the FunPub version, Optimus actually lives (though he becomes Nova Prime). Meanwhile, in the IDW version, I think he dies (?) or well his fate is much worse in comparison to FunPub!OP.
Also what’s up with both Megatrons having a fakeout death? FunPub!Megatron does get killed by Cyclonus but he comes back as Galvatron. Meanwhile IDW!Megatron gets defeated by OP and is momentarily thought to be dead (he just went into self-exile).
There’s not actually a lot of difference between the two OPs (cause honestly they both seem insane), though I guess one could interpret FunPub!OP as much more depressing cause the only reason he’s evil is cause he saw life as meaningless unless history remembers you and when he becomes Nova Prime, he’s still a little jerk but he’s tamer so I assume that was his original personality. IDW!OP just wants total power and only initially hides behind a nice facade.
The two Megatrons are vastly different though in my opinion. Cause FunPub!Megatron really was just some guy who predicted civil war and was good enough to want to stop it (this Megatron wasn’t affected by the caste system, he just genuinely saw something wrong was happening and chose to do something about it). IDW!Megatron was someone who was affected by the caste system and was trying his best to bring attention to it. FunPub!Megatron is also very nice (like not overly nice but he’s genuinely such a nice guy and this is why he’s my favorite aside from him being a nerd lmao). IDW!Megatron is a bit more jaded (which is fair cause the caste system is horrible and his “friend” is an asshole).
Even the relationship between OP and Megatron are different in both continuities. I’m pretty sure in FunPub these two never interacted before the war, where OP gets pissed that this random mathematician is opposing him. In IDW, OP and Megatron were “friends” with OP even bailing Megatron out of jail, though their “friendship” was already toxic even before the war cause Megatron seemed to really see through OP’s BS.
All this to say, there should really be a crossover between both continuities.
SGFunPub!Megs and SGIDW!OP meeting would be kinda fun and dangerous, especially if they meet each other before the civil war broke out. Megatron wouldn’t know who OP is while OP would see another version of his Megatron who he could possibly trick. Also this has the added bonus of a hilarious scenario where Megatron predicts OP is the cause of the civil war through math and that pisses off OP cause genuinely tf you mean you computed that through math. This one is more dangerous though as OP genuinely wants power and will not be swayed by whatever Megatron says.
SGIDW!Megs and SGFunPub!OP might honestly end up the happier version ngl. Cause OP clearly has an existential crisis that Megatron can probably fix by convincing him that OP can still be remembered in history by doing the right thing… such as being a civil rights activist. Like… I’m just saying maybe FunPub!OP needs therapy (and unlike IDW!OP, he actually gets a canonical redemption arc so he’s not completely lost).
.
.
.
Anyway, will I write this? Maybe (I really shouldn’t though cause I have a series and two writing requests to finish lmao). Because I am officially employed now and thus have a fixed schedule unlike the previous weeks where my schedule was erratic (which is not good for my OCD as I need a fixed schedule or I will be very upset sksksksk) as I had nothing to do but read, play video games, and exist lmao

🥧🍻Contains spoilers for Supernatural ending🍻🥧
I take what I said about the ending back. I've been rewatching and I agree that it wasn't right.
Throughout the entire series, we consistently see Sam and Dean encounter other hunters who usually represent two paths. In this life, you die or go insane ("You either die a hero or you live long enough to become a villain" -The Dark Knight). And of the two options, Sam and Dean seem to have decided that dying is at least better than potentially hurting someone. Neither of them actually believe that because they keep bringing each other back.
But this post is mostly about Dean's ending - death, in the line of duty, by rusty rebar.
During my first watchthrough, I could see - very surface level - that yeah, sure, Dean would want to die that way. Going out saving people, Sammy at his side.
But almost every other time (if not every time) Dean is faced with his own death, he decides he doesn't actually want that. He feels he must. He dies so others can live, that's his job, it's expected. But he would live if he could. When he made the demon deal to get Sam back, he confronts his nightmare self and says he doesn't want to die. He doesn't deserve to die. With the mark of Cain, in the confession booth he tells the priest that he knows he doesn't want to die and that he wants to live and experience life differently.
Dean wants to break away from the expectation that hunters die. Maybe he can't have a "normal" life. But he wants something other than what's expected of him. What God expected of him.
This was supposed to be Team Free Will. This was supposed to be about breaking away from God's Plan. Not dying like the little soldier daddy raised him to be but to become more than that. Break away from the narrative.
In the end, though, Dean is forced to have the death that everyone else planned for him. The self-sacrificing version of himself, other hunters, his dad, God. All the people we as the audience wanted Dean to be free of, to live in spite of - he dies like daddy's blunt little instrument. Cas sacrificed himself to the empty, finding peace in the face of never seeing the love of his existence again, in the face of literal eternal nothingness so that Dean could live and be more than [Dean] thought he could be. He was happy to sacrifice his happiness for Dean's. Just for Dean's life to be cut short the same way Cas died to avoid. (Death because of the work. Death like a soldier in battle.)
All of the times Dean and Sam (and Cas) die and come back to life, all of the people they find who live happily, the family they find together, the love they find, defeating literal God - it all felt like it was building to something more substantial. That they BOTH (*) were going to get something more than they expected - or, rather, resigned themselves to.
And on Sam's end - throughout the show, they show us, surface level and parallel to deans death, that him living a "normal" life without dean is what is expected. He left the life. He left Dad and Dean, went to college, had goals and aspirations, and had a serious girlfriend. His life was laid out for him. Just like death was laid out for Dean. But when push comes to shove, Sam doesn't want to live without Dean. Even when Sam thinks he can do it, like when Dean goes to purgatory, he comes the moment Dean calls and gets back into the life. When Dean dies from the mark, he says so. He was wrong, and he'll do anything to get Dean back. Everybody asks him why he would ever come back when was almost out and he tells them that he actually loves this life. That now he isn't forced into it but chooses it. He doesn't want a life without his brother in it. And that is what he was doomed to suffer. By the end of the series, I don't think Sam would have just let go like that.
Chuck said one brother had to kill the other. In other words, one lives, one dies. And that's what happened.
*I wasnt going to but now I am. Let's talk about Cas too! Through the show Cas dies again and again and again. God hates the disobedient angel with a crack in his chassis who fell in love with a man. God kills him. God wants him out of the picture but he won't go. He can't go. The story falls apart without him in it. Dean falls apart without him. But somehow his death is considered a good ending for him (good story telling wise, externally)? That confessing his love was enough? That dying in place of Dean was where he wanted to be? Sure, he was happy but it came at the price of that very happiness. It was had and taken in a moment. He was destined to die by God and that's what happened. (And we are supposed to believe that Dean just... lives on, cuddlin his dog and eatin' pie like he's not wrecked? That every other time Cas dies he falls apart but this time when Cas dies, they defeat God and true happiness is supposedly possible now - Dean would just give up? That he wouldn't try to get him back? Especially after a love confession? That just doesn't make sense to me.
My theory is that there's more to the ending than we know. That they did intentionally wrap it up there, that you can take it or leave it. But it leaves you wanting, leaves just enough questions unanswered that if they were to do a revival there's things they can do with the story.
Tl:dr: for a show about breaking away from the narrative, choosing free will, and not being held back by expectations, the ending really didn't fit well and let us down. IN MY PERSONAL OPINION

Cheering up
LEE Telemachus, Ler Penelope and Odysseus. very slight lee Odysseus.
Pls don’t ask how I finished this so fast.
Twenty whole years... twenty whole years had passed since Odysseus was gone, then... he returned. He killed all of the suitors, to protect his son, Telemachus, and his wife, Penelope.
Telemachus loved his father, but was struggling to get adjusted to having his father around, considering his father made... some rather... terrible dad jokes. Penelope feared Telemachus would dislike his father, despite it being the opposite.
And it was a year... after the return of Odysseus of Ithaca. Telemachus was training with Athena, but he kept getting distracted. "Is something wrong??" Telemachus heard a voice say, then he looked up. oh. it was just Athena. Telemachus didn't know what to say, or do really. He just sighed, and sat down on the ground, while Athena looked down at him with curiosity.
"Telemachus??" She called out again. And there it was.. no reply. she was slightly concerned, she was suddenly snapped out of her thoughts though, when Telemachus suddenly spoke up. She looked at him again, as he said the words of... "Athena, I don't know why. I love my father dearly — yet I can't seem to get adjusted to having him around. Despite him being gone for so long, and me constantly missing him." He looked ashamed of himself, and looked away from her, in fear of what she'd think.
"Oh... Telemachus... don't worry about it, please." her much stoic tone during training vanished softening a lot, as she kneeled down next to him.
"It's okay to feel that way Telemachus, it's confusing sometimes. your feelings are valid, no matter what. it's okay to be confused. or scared." She spoke, putting a hand on his shoulder.
"you,me, Penelope, and Odysseus, know deep in your heart. You love your father. You might not be adjusted to having him around right away, but that doesn't mean you don't love him, because you do love him. That's what matters most."
Telemachus started crying, babbling about something. “Athena!! But- but— I don’t want to feel this way! It’s not making me feel better!” Athena didn’t know what to do, so she disappeared. Just like that. Telemachus cried more when she left, he felt alone. He kept thinking… why did she leave?? did she hate him? Is she ashamed of him?? She might be…
Penelope was walking through the palace, and found her son, Telemachus sobbing. she immediately went over to him. “Telemachus? My son?? Are you alright??? What happened?? Where’s Athena…?? Did you get hurt?!?” she suddenly panicked, worried he was hurt, and that Athena left him.
“What— no!!—“ Telemachus sniffled, he spluttered when he spoke. “I’m not hurt— I’m fine.. it’s just..” Penelope stopped panicking much. But was curious, and raised an eyebrow. “Just what, Telemachus…? Talk to me…” she looked at him, sad.
“How do I say this… mother…??? I… I’m not adjusted to having father around— I love him dearly— but I’m having trouble getting used to the annoying dad jokes, when I’m trying to acutally talk to him, I’m tired of the jokes!! I just want to be able to talk without joking, and humor..” Penelope’s gaze turned stern slightly.
“Telemachus.. your father is trying his best to get to know you better! He’s trying to have fun with you.. you need to be nicer!” She raised her voice slightly. Telemachus was shocked, on hearing her close to yelling at him. He felt hurt.
“I just spoke my feelings to you?! And that’s all you’re going to say??…” he sniffed. he stood up, and ran off, to his bedroom. Penelope’s slight anger turned into guilt. She didn’t want to hurt Telemachus, but she didn’t understand why he’s feeling this way. she sighed, and walked away. she went to hers and Odysseus’ room.
Odysseus was sitting on the bed. “Penelope!! hello—!!” Odysseus spoke akwardly, though he was happy to see his beautiful AAAMMMAAAZZZIIINNGG wifeee! but he was confused to see her looking… slightly guilty??… what had happened?? Odysseus became concerned. “Nel….?” When Penelope sat on the bed next to him, she looked down. He scooted closer to her, and held her hand tightly, slightly rubbing her hand with his thumb gently.
“I feel like I hurt Telemachus.” She suddenly spoke, and looked at her husband, who was confused, again. “Whaa….??” Penelope groaned.. “I said… I. hurt. Telemachus. Accidentally.” she poked him in the side each time, he scooted away from her when she poked him, slightly embarrassed. but then it faded.
“How’d you hurt him??” Penelope was scared to tell him, incase Odysseus got mad at her for it. “I… raised my voice at him.” Odysseus had never felt so stunned in his life?? his wife, the sweetest woman in the entire world. RAISED HER VOICE… “WHAT..??” He said a bit louder then he wanted.
“But you have to understand, he said your jokes are annoying, and that you won’t take him seriously. I told him you’re trying your best and yeah.”
“Oh.” Odysseus said.. “well.. where’d he he go. maybe we can cheer him up, huh..?” Penelope slowly looked up at him, and smiled. “Ohh.. yeah… you’re right. did you know, Telemachus is ticklish?? He’s as ticklish as you are!” “Oh- hey!” Her husband huffed. and stood up.
“well let’s go find him, Hon.” He walked out of the room, she followed. they walked around the palace, and eventually found him sitting in his room by himself. “Hey, kiddo.” Odysseus sat next to Telemachus on the bed, and Penelope sat on the other side of Telemachus. “We’ve been talking.” She finally spoke.
“About what.” Telemachus said, coldly. Odysseus raised an eyebrow. “are you giving us attitude??” Telemachus scoffed, rolling his eyes. “What if I am??” “Don’t be annoying.” Odysseus scolded softly. “We were here to come cheer you up!” Odysseus then said, happily.
Telemachus furrowed his brows in slight confusion, and annoyance. “and how are you going to do that?? I’m not a child anymore.” Telemachus kept up his annoyed front, till Penelope spoke, and Telemachus became nervous. “I told your father, you’re ticklish.”
Telemachus’ eyes widened with horror. “You told him… WHAT??” he panicked. Odysseus and Penelope smiled at him innocently, till Odysseus spoke. “First, you need to hug us. Cause you love uss… sooo muccchh!!” Odysseus was teasing him. And hugged Telemachus, and so did Penelope.
Telemachus hugged them back, till he stifled his laughter, as he felt one of them start tickling his sides. “Nohoho…. Stooppp…!!-“ then the second set of hands tickling him, he started giggling, and couldn’t help it. he figured out who was who eventually. his father tickled his stomach, while his mother tickled his sides, Telemachus giggled, and giggled, his laughter was slightly squeaky.
Telemachus snorted when his father tickled his underarms instead, and he kicked his feet slightly, and pushed against his father and mother a tiny bit. “Well that was a silly sound, wasn’t it??” Odysseus teased. Telemachus squeaked at that, and he blushed slightly out of embarrassment. He felt like he was dying.(from the teasing. Not the tickling.) “Hahaha— you guys! Stop it— I cahahant take ihihit!!” His laughter was joyful and infectious, and Penelope laughed softly.
Telemachus giggled more and more, his parents eventually stopped. Telemachus still giggled softly after that. And caught his breath, while his freckled face was still slightly flushed. “We didn’t bother you that much, did we??” His father asked, looking at Telemachus. And acutally hugged him. “No.. I’m fine… thank you.” Telemachus finally said. He hugged both of his parents. he snuggled against both of them softly. He was feeling slightly sleepy. and eventually fell asleep. his mother brushed the hair out of his face gently. and kissed his forehead. “Goodnight my son…” she said, and smiled. in Telemachus’ dreams. He was thinking of getting revenge. but he couldn’t tickle his dear mother. So he’d just have to tickle his father instead. hint hint…

thoughts on stanford!dean having a bad day and giving into the urge to hunt??
i just lurve me angsty dean
(inspired by smth i saw on twitter)
stop bc this was actually a bot idea i had so long ago and forgot about !!!! ok let me cook rq.
────────────────────────────────────────────
dean had gotten good at ignoring the frantic whisperings on campus about something being off. it wasn't his business anymore, he'd tell himself, even as his natural instinct was to see the smoke and run toward the fire.
he'd put it off as long as he could. fought the urge and the need to protect these people he'd began to think of as family, and all of the innocent peers that felt the unease like a heavy blanket.
every time he put it off, it festered. he felt like a coward, like he was already betraying the family line and now furiously drawing a line in that sand, dividing him from his dad, his baby brother. he scored worse on a test that day than he thought he would. his head was off, so all of the plays he tried to make at practice fell flat.
so dean unearthed the blade he stowed away from home, still having been buried in his suitcase and forgotten. he turned off his phone, ignoring all of the messages from cherry, the calls from taylor, and went for a drive.
the vampire was relatively easy to find. hanging out around the campus bar, looking for drunk students too obliterated to defend themselves, their heads already screwed up and incapable of remembering if something were to happen to them.
dean had been certain he'd beaten the hunt out of him. but killing the vampire came as easy as a breath, and no one thought twice about him using the frat's bonfire to burn the body. bonfire! one of the frat boys had even shouted from an open window on the upper floor. who were they to think about the smell of the fire or if it was off, when they had beer, and music, and girls?
"hey," your voice is as recognizable as the sun in the sky, and dean turns to you, a stoic look on his face, "you never answered my messages. are you alright?"
leave it to you to worry when he stopped texting back, as if your schedule didn't leave him pacing his dorm room for hours, waiting for a response to let him know you were okay. "all good," he promises, and lies.
"don't shut me out if something's wrong," you scold him like a mother would, and for a second, he smiles, because it's nice to be scolded over his antics and not because he aimed for the heart and pierced the shoulder instead, "i'm serious. we're friends. i wanna know everything."
dean's mouth quirks in the corner. "okay, cher."
you hold out a red cup to him as you cross the last few steps to stand next to him at the edge of the fire. he watches, as he takes a sip, as your face scrunches up.
"smells like burning hair."
the smile disappears. he's back to being a kid again, standing next to his dad, realizing that he was always going to have to protect himself and sam, while hair burned to ash in the fire in front of them. dean manages a nod. "guess it does."

Some of the ideas I've had so far (PROBABLY shouldn't post before writing the actual fic but I'd love any thoughts I guess?)
Framing device: Jayce trapped in the cave, delirious with fever reviewing his life. He’s living in dread of the full moon when he will probably transform. Wolves can prevent themselves but he’s so weakened he’s pretty sure he won’t be able to help it and he’s terrified it will break his leg again or worse. It’s a countdown now. Scenes and worldbuilding tidbits include:
Getting lost with his mother in the snow. His mother is a human, his father a werewolf. Young Jayce was terrified for her since in theory he could transform and have his fur and go look for help, but his mother would be all alone and might freeze to death without him. He still remembers the fear of leaving a non-wolf loved one behind (which comes back again with Viktor).
Learning from Mel that the Medarda’s are also werewolves but Mel has never transformed. She believes that’s why she was banished to oversee the family’s holdings in Piltover, because she never “found the wolf” inside
Piltover was founded as a werewolf city in particular, Zaun is a vampire city and they're on again off again friends/enemies depending on if they’re facing a bigger threat beyond the walls
The night of the vote for Zaun independence, the Council wasn’t supposed to be in session because of how many werewolves are on the Council and it was the full moon. Jayce did it a bit deliberately. 1) Because having the meeting with Silco at dusk on the night of the full moon meant that both could defend themselves if the meeting went long or it was a trap. 2 ) To have the Councilors on edge so they’re more likely to vote Jayce’s way if he exerts pack leader privilege with his body language, which he did to the max to get his way (something Mel taught him)
On the night Jayce almost killed himself, Viktor floated up from the street to “interrupt” thus scaring the shit out of Jayce and cutting off his jump. He asks how Viktor’s a vampire and why he wasn’t floating earlier. The answer is because it’s during the day, in the sunlight of Piltover, and vampires don’t have powers or they’re severely weakened during the day. But now it’s night. Viktor points out he didn’t have a patron, a name, or a pack to be part of as his detriments.
Viktor’s disabilities come from not having access to fresh blood as a child. There’s very little in Zaun since most of the population is vampires, and what exists from outsiders or travelers or fresh meat goes to the wealthiest (brothels with non vampire prostitutes are particularly prized and expensive there). Enforcers come down particularly hard on Zaunites who go after Pilties, it’s a source of constant tension between the two cities and breeds police brutality as well since Zaunites are constantly under suspicion and it’s hard to prove or disprove if someone got bitten (very he said she said).
Poor families will feed on each other and there are chemical blood substitutes, one batch was tainted though and Viktor got his disability where he’s basically not undead but more constantly dying from that bad batch. Shimmer is a blood substitute found to be just as good if not better than the real thing, but with horrific side effects.
Jayce has a memory of being particularly apologetic on full moons, which are always a holiday in Piltover to allow werewolves to relax (another little utopian privilege). Viktor’s powers are so weak at this point that basically the only benefit he gets from being a vampire is the fact he doesn’t have to sleep and can work twice as long as Jayce. On the full moon, Jayce feels even worse since he still has his human mind (more or less, plus some extra senses) but can’t hold chalk or speak so he mostly just sleeps and sighs on the lab couch and occasionally points out an equation that Viktor got wrong with his nose while Viktor scratches his ears and enjoys the extra furry heater now lying around the lab
Fuck. Maybe I AM tempted to write a Jayvik / Arcane werewolf and vampire AU wtf I never want to write AUs like that…
(But the worldbuilding you guys! The worldbuilding!! It works so well goddammit awrggrgrhfhbff)

I think that Orym actually does doubt Imogen, but this isn't a thing that is unique to Imogen. Orym doubts all of them to an extent, because paranoia is something he struggles with (and this is continuously reinforced by the story).
It's not a 'good' thing that he should never get over, nor is it an immoral character flaw that proves he actually hates Imogen. However it's also not something I think he can get over as long as the threat of having to possibly fight his friends exists.
"I have all the faith in the world in you guys, all of you. And I have also spent time thinking how to neutralize each of you."
#cr discourse#critical role#cr3#orym#text post#people talk about orym being hypervigilant and then deny his behaviour created out of that hypervigilance#but also see people being weird about orym due to this. you can dislike him all you want but some people are doing too much#“he hates imogen! she has given him no reason to doubt her! she is good” guys its literally just paranoia#he doesn't need a reason to doubt her nor any of them. he just does due to their uncertainty about everything#this group is impulsive. shown by their 'we are an improv group' response to the question 'whats your plan to stop the end of the world'#this is all in line with oryms usual level of slightly paranoid behaviour which is exasperated and justified by the story#he followed fearne away from camp when she wanted to do something on her own but then she was jumped and nearly killed#that paranoia was proven correct#again the next night when he slept with a sword on his back after fearnes dad threatened to come back and attack her friends#and he was attacked in his sleep (by laudna but at the time he didnt know that)#then imogen told the whole group that she and laudna considered giving into the darkness together#something that both ladies then expressed they wanted orym to take them out if they went too far#this is just a result of all of this#so i think this is a non-issue. if you like it great. if you dont then whatever#just this time it rubbed people the wrong way because of irl hang ups of people valuing their own personal privacy#the same way any kind of mind stuff 'modify memory' or psychic reading of minds without permission rubs me personally the wrong way

So fucked up that obimaul is a rarepair. What do you mean not everyone is obsessed with enemies to lovers with a Force connection, where one side is completely obsessed with the other who barely acknowledges him (but is just as affected)
#hm i should make an original post tag#obimaul#like. say what you want but obi-wan saw a random dathomirian zabrak and immediately went 'maul?? alive??'#he DOES care about maul he just doesn't actively seek him out like maul does#post prompted by this song that makes me think about Maul in his crime lord era‚ all the luxury of the world within his reach‚#but none of it satisfies him because what he really wants is to find (and kill) kenobi#'another night up in the best suite; everything's gone wrong already‚ my body admits; dreaming so high the floor is the limit;#once again i got lost.. [...] another night i give myself‚ top of a skyscraper; i'm the king of the world‚ dreams for rent;#and when i look at myself i sigh with a low voice‚ 'i don't feel bad i just feel nothing''#(<- song is são paulo‚ 2015 by jão)#it's a song about feeling dissatisfied with the life of fame because there's an emptiness he can't fill with sex drugs or luxuries#and from the context of the album it's likely he's thinking about a past lover he's still not over#so. imagine with me.#i might make something out of this. maybe.#but like. posting about songs that make me think obimaul thoughts. not very productive. almost no audience.#... and while making this post i've been attacked by yet another song with a very obimaul words#'lie to me‚ run from me‚ we swear it doesn't count‚ in this way of ours‚ but it's not because i hate you that i can't kiss you anymore'#<- pilantra by jão and anitta

Yippeee!!! thank you for askingggg I love yapping about my au
so literally all of this is going to be disproven in like. 5 days but I can just move the timetable further back because like, what are they going to do? Detail Shadow Milk's entire pre-corruption life and leave no room for me to slide in my story?
but yeah basically, when the wizards originally made Moonlight, they didn't exactly realize that she wasn't going to come out fully formed as an adult and were incredibly unprepared to take care of a kid the size of their fingernails. Obviously rather than to admitting their misconception, they decreed that she should be raised among her own kind instead. So, they went to the witches, who offered one of their chosen as a parent.
Tumblr media
^Basically just that paragraph but abridged.
Anyway, Blueberry Yogurt was told to teach Moonlight everything she needs to know, but under no circumstances is she allowed to learn Dark Moon Magic (Which wasn't forbidden at the time, and Blueberry Yogurt specifically was expected to research it at the behest of the witches). Moonlight was also given to him with the expectation that she'll be returned when she reaches maturity, but Blueberry Yogurt never intended to tell her that and never did.
Now, Moonlight is ~13 in human years, and is progressing well in her education and magical ability. Blueberry Yogurt is clearly deteriorating, to the point where even Moonlight even notices something's wrong. He's just stressed and the only good thing in his life right now is her. Then, obviously, he gets a letter that says they're taking Moonlight away in a week. Moonlight still has no clue this was a temporary arrangement, as far as she was aware, she was gonna stay with Blueberry Yogurt forever.
Blueberry Yogurt was a petty bitch long long before he ever turned into Shadow Milk and decides a week is long enough to teach a 13 y/o an entirely different form of magic that is objectively dangerous for cookies to perform. Moonlight, being a young teen, is excited about the prospect of doing something against the rules and doesn't know any better. Obviously, she gets really hurt doing this. Surprise, surprise. Anyway, Blueberry Yogurt freaks out, nothing he's doing is healing her, if anything, it's making her injury worse and he's quickly running out of options.
So, he does the only thing he can think of, and tells the witches. Now, that week-long "packing up" period has turned into 3 days and no proper goodbye. Moonlight immediately faults herself for her injury, thinking she should've been more careful. Then, when she's whisked off to the city of wizards and assumed to be a fully functioning adult, they also blame her for trying to learn Dark Moon Magic. leading to the construction of the canonical clocktower, which is actually really horrible if you think about it.
The wizards see her as the success she is, and start properly training her to be the moon goddess. Moonlight asks when she can go back home, and then is told that this is her home now, that Blueberry Yogurt lied to her and he knew she was never his to keep. Moonlight grows kind of resentful and accepts her place by the wizards' side.
As for Blueberry Yogurt, he can't "know" anything outside of Earthbread, and assumes the wizards killed Moonlight for not living up to their standards of perfection. His assumption, then, sends him down the spiral that eventually leads to his corruption. (Could be years before he actually does, depending on what canon says)
Moonlight, years in the future, is alone in the now-abandoned city of wizards, and sometimes she pretends her cookie dad is still around, just to assuage the loneliness. She also has no clue about what happened to him, as she wasn't able to truly rule over the world of dreams until after the beasts were sealed away and they weren't exactly dreaming in the tree. She'd occasionally think of leaving the city of wizards, to try to find her father again, but always decided against it, bound by duty (and magic) to the city. Moonlight only finds out Blueberry Yogurt "died" after Cookie Odyssey when Pure Vanilla specifically sends out Gingerbrave and co. to find her and ask for help defeating Dark Enchantress.
Am I saying Pure Vanilla having half of Shadow Milk's soul made him want to seek out Moonlight through some sort of form-transcending parental instinct? Maybe.
Even after Shadow Milk is released from the tree, he still can't go see Moonlight. He doesn't sleep, and is otherwise entirely disconnected from the world of dreams, so she can't see him or summon him to the city. He's literally made of shadows, so even if Moonlight came down to Shadow Milk in person, she's a celestial being and that kind of direct light would be horribly agonizing. Even disregarding all of that, Shadow Milk wouldn't want her to see him like he is now. Underneath the performance of ego, Shadow Milk knows he's quite literally been degraded to a shell of his former self- even without being corrupted, he's been ripped in half and "all" of his good qualities have been given to someone else. He can pretend, sure, but how long could he keep that up?
Anyway, I think they're never going to be happy. Ever.
Tumblr media
The life we never got to have.

he still has his tonsils. by the way if you even care
#sorry this is fucking UNINTELLIGIBLE but unfortunately i’m still on my bullshit about dr. daddyissues. yeah it’s gonna be all month#i am rotating episode 2.8 ‘the mistake’ in my head at breakneck speed. i am gnawing on it i want to swallow it#oh he’s such a lying liar who lies. charming little bastard. would rather die/lose his license than express one wholly unaffected emotion#‘he thinks not giving a crap makes him like house. like it’s something to aspire to’ quick question HOW serious do the daddy issues have to#be before you start latching on to fucking GREGORY HOUSE as a paternal figure and role model. really#even cameron is not down this bad. even WILSON is not down this bad.#the daddy issues of it all are very understandable though because even setting aside whatever went down back in childhood that shit his#father did to him in seasons 1-2 is SO messed up. jesus#imagine traveling all the way across the world to the hospital your son works in for a consult which confirms what you already knew: you’re#going to die of cancer in like 2 months. making a whole point out of stopping by to visit your son. not telling him what’s going on.#letting him spend a whole episode’s worth of time gradually coming to terms with his complicated feelings towards you (complicated on#account of a whole childhood of objectively awful parenting). the kid finally is able to try reaching back out to you. after YOU initiated#the contact in the first place. how do you react? well obviously by telling him ‘oh sorry i actually have to get in a taxi right now’ and#fucking back off to the other side of the world without giving him a chance to actually talk to you at all and resolve any of the emotions#you just dredged up. oh by the way you still haven’t fucking told him you’re about to die and in fact actively mislead him into thinking#he’s going to have the chance to try meeting with you again next time he visits your home country.#especially fucked up given that the whole reason it DID take your son so long to come around THIS time is that he feels like every time#he’s tried reaching out to you in the past you’ve just disappointed him by refusing to put in the effort to meet him there.#And Now Here We Are Again.#rowan what the FUCK is wrong with you. i want to dig you up and kill you again#house md#robert chase#caseyposting

fascinated by how the asoiaf fandom refuses to have any nuance in the books that r entirely based on different perspectives
#asoiaf#fascinating.#this is 100% abt the lyanna elia rhsegar thing bc jesus fucking christ#yes rhaegar cheated on elia and so did cersei and robert and tyrion on sansa too#its almost like rhaegar had a prophesy fuck him in the head since childhood👀 almost like he and elia were an arranged marriage👀 almost#like he didnt love her👀#like bffr what happened to elia was horrible but its nothing new why r ppl so surprised there was little love in a marriage neither wanted#like have you READ the books nearly every character didnt want their spouse but politics#elia didnt deserve that and neither did her children but dont blame rhaegar for something lannister soldiers did#a song of ice and fire#valyrianscrolls#and god the kingsguard part annoys me sm. yes he took kingsguard with him when he went off to fight#bc kingsguard are a fucking asset to the millitary#anyhow. same is applied to arya and sansa#yes sansa was mean to arya but also: shes 11. a child promised that shell be queen if she acts good and if joff and cersei like her#because of arya sansa's direwolf lady was killed when lady did nothing wrong#and it wasnt arya's fault either bc arya was defending her friend and herself too#but obv sansa was upset and crying. shes 11. ofc she'd say that she wanted arya to die instead of lady she was a CHILD#letd be clear if arya died sansa 100% would've been as or even more upset than when lady or even ned died#sansa and her friends teased arya for having a horse's face. ok. kids r mean? wow
