#and oh boy does stuff ever happen in these crossovers!

[zahri-melitor]

#like. listen. you do not have to accept or like the sexism present in tim's comics

#it might make him a fundamentally unlikable character to you

#but tim's comics also don't exist in a vacuum and should also be considered within the genre and time era itself

#we can doylistically tear it apart but if we do that let's also doylistically tear apart far more egregious comics as far as sexism (h/t @scintillyyy)

Yep. Because if you really want to Doylistically tear apart 90s comics for sexism, and you want to talk Chuck Dixon…

Look I have a soft spot for both Connor and Kyle but good god is there stuff in this from Dixon and Ron Marz to talk about!

[vm-haunts]

Me: haha I'll just make up a timeline for this crazy crossover idea.

Me, a week later: what the fuck what the fuck how did I end up with so much plot how is it still expanding oh my god stooooop.

Aaaanyways. I don't know if I'll ever got it properly written, but this monster of a plot bunny now covers several major events and I'm losing my mind...

But anyways, cliff notes version on the plot and how far it stretches:

..

College trio was involved in the dionesium (aka Lazarus water) research, and somehow they're actually the more ethical bunch. Which is saying a lot considering.

DP events happened but they encountered and got help from several DC magic users during it. Budding occultist Sam for the win. (no agit yet and no phantom planet either)

The GIW got somewhat reformed, thanks to the help of Team Phantom's JLD friends. However at some point they got new management. Now instead of destroying ghost, the new comers are interested in the correlation of ecto-contamination, liminality... And secretly, in the increased success rate of induced metagene activation in liminals. Yikes, they somehow got worse.

Again, the Fenton parents are somehow the ethical ones here, despite everything. They refused to work with the new branch of GIW, stuff escalated (don't they always), and now they're dead. And in ghost jail. At least Vlad is there with them for the heartwarming reunion.

So Team Phantom ended up faking their death and goes on the run while raiding GIW bases, and along the way they found a weird guy (Jason). Weird guy's mom showed up and. Well guess they're involved with assassin cult's power struggle now, at least they get to help a guy out.

More shenanigans later they ended up with some monks in the Himalayas, and- wait Danny what do you mean you know them? Oh yeah Plasmius's little stint with the Infi-map... Gotta love time travel.

Anyway, after Danny got scammed for long overdue property damage fees and Jason got a pair of cool swords, they met Talia again and she brings news! Totally no ulterior motives or anything :) (Sam called her out to her face and she just smiled)

Jason, considerably more chill in this au, is still unhappy about... Well. Everything in Gotham.

Cue the Red Hood stint but with much more control and less blood shed. Which ironically made RH more intimidating because he moves like a ghost(duh). Especially when Jason's main act of revenge is 'pranks', which reads as mild psychology warfare actually. But hey the bats did that to themselves, he did nothing wrong (besides being a drug lord).

Red Hood peaceful mode does however attracted some unwanted bird themed attention, the Owl's not the Robin's. And well, undead Talons sneaking around undead experts, what could go wrong?

Everything apparently. Because on top of the Rh stint, Jason is somehow also infiltrating the Court of Owls now. As his real identity Jason Todd-Wayne no less. But the real suprise is Danny running into his parent's old researches, and. Well, the poor talons need help, might as well join in with the infiltration.

Some more shenanigans later it ends in Jason and co. quietly turning the talons against their old masters, and oh boy did they overachieved the goal of getting a foot into Gotham's crime world. Must be Danny's Fenton luck.

Ol' Batsy is very very not happy about that development by the way. But he can die mad about it as far as Jason is concerned.

...

The end. Of part one.

Stay tuned for part two, where we cross AGIT with crisis.

And massive thanks to @taddy-cat, a large part of this is inspired by the lovely discussion with you!

[aoki553]

GRGRGRGRG FINALLY AN OPPORTUNITY TO INFODUMP ABT HIM!!! tysm @makifishcake and prepare for a long ramble abt best boy ever (to me) and why saijun is real... let's start with an introduction to a canon crossover character only The Loser (me) cares about! this is gonna get messy in writing near the end cuz its like 3 am for me rn.

Kouno Jun is one of the two protagonists of Asou-sensei's older work, Our Hero Studies and is one of Haganeno Ken's students at Holy Lance Academy (a private school that either exists the same town as Saiki or some neighboring one)

The only translated OHS chapters so far show us who Jun and Haganeno are as characters. Kouno Jun's a generic tsukkomi high school student with normal teenage boy interests and crushes... he's baby and a total boyfail.

Jun likes video games (Kaisou Monogatari, an in-universe franchise), ramen, melon soda and Yayumi - the class rep. Pretty normal dude that's just being constantly bothered by his classmates and the teacher he hates...

...and then there's Haganeno Ken - THE delusional cosplayer hero wannabe teacher with huge interest in roleplaying and RPG video games, who immediately takes a liking to Jun, mainly for his name (his name means shield, while Haganeno's mean sword. you see where i'm going?)

most of the ohs panels will be machine translated cuz i have no strength or motivation to continue my actual translation work ngnhnh one day maybe... 😔

He may look like a generic high school shonen manga protagonist, but it's actually really charming to me how adorable he can be despite the boring presentation lolol HIS CRUSH ON YAYUMI IS SO CUTE UGHNHNH

And yeah of course he shows up in Saiki bc WHY WOULDNT HE???

Asou-sensei put him there twice. In the Christmas chapter where he's walking with a girl (MOST LIKELY YAYUMI), sees Kusuo sitting alone and being like "haha that's so sad to be lonely on christmas lmao"... EXCEPT ITS HILARIOUS CUZ HE DOES THE SAME THING IN HIS OWN MANGA'S CHRISTMAS CHAPTER.

and in the Hero Studies crossover chapter, right at the end as an unused character. (wouldn't make sense to have two tsukkomis there tbh so i get it lolol)

Same thing happens in the anime except Jun in the Christmas episode wasn't animated like he's an actual pre-existing character, except just a background character so he looks different but has the same jacket with his initials so its definitely him.

so here's all his screentime:

his terrible sense of style was referenced by Takeru at one point as well. yes, Jun dresses terrible and he has outfits much worse than this. hes a loser and i love him

okay but what's with the saijun thing? orz

basically its a silly ship me and my lovely sweetest gf (@lu-kario ) came up with and it kinda stuck around. "omg haha what if the two protagonists from different manga dated" but yeah it became an actual thing with thought out scenarios between us.

Me saying it'd be like satousai but Kusuo finds someone "normal" with actual personality would be not giving this ship enough justice. I can't tell much rn cuz I forget 90% of the stuff i make up unless i write it down BUT all i'll say is that

I like to imagine Jun and Kusuo having a calm and nice relationship, lots of quality time spent playing video games or going out to get some ramen together. Kusuo gets to have someone more usual by his side and Jun isn't likely to be bothered by Ken when Kusuo is around (:3).

and yeah, they do get another scene together in volume zero! how lovely! the christmas episode is also one of the reasons i find the ship cool but even despite the sillies having canon scenes and illustrations together i like it simply for fun.

canon crossover ships are cool and epic

my final words: go read ohs its fully in japanese online and 5 chapters are in english so far.

seriously go read it the fandom doesn't exist its really lonely.

and if you care abt our hero studies u can motivate me in the ask box, gimme a kick on the butt so i go and translate this work again after like a year or more of hiatus

[petite-guignol]

hoo boy OK

didn't want to dump this in the fan week tag because it's TECHNICALLY not FFIV but "crossover" did make me think of it.

this also isn't technically a "crossover" given that its entirely in-universe and just happens to be directly RELATED to FFIV but i wanted to talk about it and i figured out how to use my 6yo chromebook as a drawing tablet last night so here goes

i have this FFXIV OC who is quite literally "Edward but an evil bug demon" and i got so attached to him i'm making a whole-ass doll, with some help from my friend for some of the more complex engineering parts. here's some of my design sketches and color tests and what will eventually be his torso (he's being made out of a kind of butterfly-skeleton lookin BJD). It's mostly head shots because i was clearly struggling a lot with how to do the hair and the placement of the eyes, though i think i've sorta figured it out. the final outfit will have a diadem that kind of incorporates the eyes and antennae.

the strings-between-arms idea was from before i was offered the doll with the hollow torso, and i ended up abandoning it for structural reasons anyway. he still has four arms, though, two with human hands and two that are more mantis adjacent, which will have those white-and-blue stripes found on the Antlion's mandibles in Amano's concept art. It will be a bit difficult to rig on the torso, given it's just a ribcage held up by a spine, but i think it's doable as long as the additional arms are smaller

i'm not sure on the actual SHAPE of the antennae -- was kind of thinking something feather-like, but that might be too far into moth territory.

i was like "oh i definitely need the hairstyle to resemble Edward's so it's obvious who he's supposed to be riffing off of!" but as it turns out: Edward does not have an "iconic" haircut. Most every image of him has something different.

the character's name is Prince Orfeo of the Heartless Harp, once the sovereign of the Golden Principate of Damcyan before the world fell into darkness, now a voidsent whose beautiful face and enchanting voice mask the rapaciousness of a predatory insect.

He has a heart of gold, they say, but when has gold ever loved anyone back?

FFXIV lore and how it relates to FFIV lore under the cut but the short version is: i saw the words "damcyan antlion" in a dungeon and went fully insane

OK SO the 13th/the Void ended up with a lot of FFIV inspiration. That's perfect for me as the Void has been kind of my Thing since i started playing

the basic concept of the Void is kind of like, it's a world where the heroes failed -- one way or another, by deception or hubris or simply dying and being reborn as twisted monsters, they all became the villains. to this end we get the hero version of Golbez, of course, but like...

in the Lunar Subterrane dungeon, you delve into the hero Golbez's memories of his final moments, in which he and Durante are struggling to repel an invasion of Baron. the environment is a little...desert-y to be a one-to-one match for the FFIV Baron, which i already thought was interesting, but then Durante laments "nothing is exempt from their avarice" right before we get to the second boss fight of the dungeon: Damcyan Antlion

i thought it was really interesting that it was specifically a DAMCYAN antlion, because that immediately made me think -- wait, if this is effectively the "opposite" of FFIV, is Damcyan the invading force here? the antlion's boss mechanics involve dragging you into sand pits and crashing into pillars to bring them down, so it sure does make an effective siege weapon... hey, didn't they mention "avarice"? Some supplemental FFIV stuff mentions that Damcyan is extremely wealthy, to the extent that money is literally named after their ruling dynasty...

oh my god is there an evil version of Edward on the 13th

given the lack of permanent death once the laws of physics were broken enough over there, does that mean there's specifically a DEMON version of Edward that exists in the Void right now

so i immediately mapped out a basic concept for Bugward, gave him an Italian mythological name to go with all the Dante's Inferno stuff, and somehow got so fixated on it that now i'm balls deep in an expensive doll project.

transcription of the COOL BUG FACTS i scribbled on one of the earlier sketches

That is not his face

palace full of shed skins [was imagining like a cicada here]

don't listen to his words, he is incapable of love

not because he's a voidsent though, he was like that before

originally prince of the world's wealthiest nation

corrupted by Durante after his invasion of Baron, an act which fused Golbez's armor to Durante's body permanently [direct revenge for the death of Golbez obviously]

favorite methods of execution: quicksand, carnivorous worm pit

known to disguise himself as a commoner, seduce peasant girls, then feed them to his pet antlion when he gets bored of them

"i'd die for you" "then perish"

summoning method -- murder your lover and allow the corpse to be consumed by blowflies

[mymistakewriting]

i personally agree and relate so much with buck’s adhd + anxiety specifically so i was just wondering if you could go more in depth with those headcanons? adhd buck is so important to me and reading about it and talking gives ME dopamine lol. oooh and the volume control like getting called out on it would so trigger his RSD! and everyone LOVES going to trivia with him for sure hahah sorry this kind of turned into my headcanons but yeah what do you think??!

I'll answer that second ask you sent in separately because Oh Boy do I have some Opinions to share on all of it.

I absolutely adore getting to just sit down and scream about characters and their habits and their mental health and how it all ties together. And Buck has given me PLENTY to work with since I started the show. But specifically focusing in on his ADHD & anxiety & RSD?

Not only does he hyperfixate on random stuff that has no use he CANONICALLY does research on natural disasters after he's lived through them - he did so with the tsunami, he did so with the earthquakes. He even canonically references researching volcanos after the wildfire crossover with Lone Star where he made the trip to Austin to help. This man is a walking encyclopedia of information on natural disasters and traumas. But it's very much a coping mechanism. It's a "I survived this and I have no clue how or why, so I have to understand what the odds were and I need to be able to be prepared and help others better if I ever live through another one of these". It's a "if I understand this and why it happens and how best to survive it, then it holds no power over me". It's a "I can't be scared of this so I have to understand it instead." It's the kind of coping mechanism that I've only ever seen in people who have ADHD or autism - statistics over fear, because fear can only cause harm ESPECIALLY as a first responder. Fear can come later, accept he tries not to ever let it because that makes him weak in his eyes.

The anxiety definitely stims from childhood trauma - look at his parents and Maddie and tell me that their behaviors weren't the root cause of so many of Buck's bad habits and I'll call you a liar. His parents are the reason he's so reckless. His parents AND Maddie are the reason Buck 1.0 was clinging so tightly to the label of sex addict because it was hard for him to admit that he didn't feel good enough after being left behind by everyone he'd ever had in his entire life. And don't take this as me talking poorly on Maddie, but she's also the reason why Buck latched on so tightly to Abby. And Ali. And Taylor. And the 118 crew. She left when he was a teenager, left him with parents that they both knew were awful, and he kind of internalized it and now a few years down the line it's crippling anxiety and abandonment issues and he doesn't have an outlet for any of that. And I could go on for hours about how his childhood contributed to him being semi-verbal at best, and about how much of how he defines himself ties into how he was defined as a kid, but that'll have to be a whole other post because there are so many intricacies to it that it deserves it's own thing.

His RSD. Oh I love the portrayal they give for his RSD. Because it's not just canceled plans and being overlooked that send him spiraling like so many people assume when they hear the phrase. It's someone's tone changing or someone pulling away too soon when he gets comfortable showing affection. It's how he held on so tight until he just couldn't anymore when Abby left because she said she'd come back and she's never lied to me before so she'll come back, everyone else is being dramatic. I just have to wait.

It's how well he just gave all of himself to Ali. She helped him find a place to live. Helped him furnish it in a way that is shockingly out of character for Buck - none of those decorations when he was with her felt like him in the slightest.

It was how he tried to twist and change himself and his relationships to make things with with Taylor. He didn't bring Eddie up to her often, didn't bring her up to Eddie unless he could avoid it, didn't talk about work, let her use his place and his information and his everything to do her job even though it got him questioned there at the end by the Department about who her sources were. And it's there in how hesitant he was to end things. How much he looked like he was fighting himself when he did end things.

His volume control is such a small thing that never gets called out in the fandom posts I do see - the 118 is wonderful at it once they know him, they know ways to point it out without sending him into a tailspin. It's always a gentle cup to the shoulder or elbow or a gentle nudge of shoulder to shoulder or a soft redirection that requires a softer voice somewhere else. It's never a "you're being too loud" or an annoyed glance from them.

From people they save, though? Buck stutters a lot more around people they work to save, he's always trying to be conscious of everything because he's gotten those looks or gotten those annoyed comments time and time and time again until it's become one of his biggest insecurities.

He gives every bit of himself to everything he does, and it definitely makes his RSD worse when that just isn't enough.

SHIPPING INFO / answer the following for your muse so people know how shipping works on your blog !

WHAT IS YOUR OTP FOR YOUR CHARACTER.

ben and poe...but i don't think this surprises anyone now. some people might wanna thump me for saying they share some similarities: children of the resistance; so shared history (childhood friends if you're me), tempers, flyboys, stubborn and determined, competitive, huge hearts and sm more. they just happen to be fighting on different sides of the war, which only makes things all the more delicious to me. i just think theirs is an intriguing dynamic that should have been explored more in the sequels. but alas...the mouse is a hater.

HOW LARGE DOES THE AGE GAP HAVE TO BE TO MAKE IT UNCOMFORTABLE.

i am a person who will say age is but a number when it comes to mcloving. but if there is going to be an age gap when shipping with ben, I prefer it to be a few years younger, perhaps five at the most? doesn't mean I can't be convinced further with the right mun and muse, but not to like 20, aka how old rey was... now, older...cough. that's a free for all. there's not really a limit there for me or Ben.

HOW FAR DO STEAMY MOMENTS HAVE TO GO BEFORE THEY ARE CONSIDERED NSFW.

err...dicks out? nudity and touching is what i'd consider nsfw, personally.

ARE YOU SELECTIVE WHEN SHIPPING.

umm, i don't think so. i'm always open to crossover and oc shipping as well as canon. but with ben it does take a partner who is rather understanding because loving ben isn't always easy, and he doesn't always find it easy either. he has a lot of baggage and black hole's worth of emotional and intimacy issues. at least in canon verses.

WHO ARE OTHER CHARACTERS YOU SHIP YOUR CHARACTER WITH.

oh, boy....well, it currently is only poe. that's more or less the only ship I wrote on my old blog and it has haunted me ever since. but that doesn't mean I'm not 39585843% open to something else. i love exploring new dynamics sm.

DOES ONE HAVE TO ASK TO SHIP WITH YOU.

you can send me a shippy ask and I'll see how I feel about it. or you can come kick my ass and be like WE'RE GONNA SHIP THIS BITCH. I'm pretty easygoing when it comes to shipping, always willing to dip my toesies in the water.

ARE YOU SHIP OBSESSED OR SHIP MORE-OR-LESS.

obsessed and proud. people who think romance writing is somehow less than other forms of writing are absolute whackos and we can't be friends. love keeps the world going around, we always need more of it.

ARE YOU MULTISHIP.

yes. that is likely to remain unless my brain says otherwise. but it's rare that I singleship. hasn't happened in a long time.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE SHIP IN YOUR CURRENT FANDOM.

are you gonna make me say ben / poe again? cus this is getting embarrassing. but aside from them. i enjoy the obvious han / leia, but also finn / rey, dinn / luke, obi-wan / happiness. the usual stuff.

FINALLY, HOW DOES ONE SHIP WITH YOU.

we've been over this. jump into my ims and say BITCH GET IN THE CAR, WE SHIPPING. but again you can always send memes. they don't even have to be romantic. i do like to interact platonically, too, just to see how our muses mesh etc. that's important! being friendly ooc is a must too. friends make the best shipping partners. that's a fact, innit? and plotting stuff is so much easier if you have a good rapport. I'm always up for crossover ships and i love ships that take me by surprise.

[castle-fairies]

Hello hello! It's nice to meet you!

Welcome to the blog. In this blog, I will show you concepts and lore parts of my new project: Castle crashers crossover au!

Q&A

What is this au about?

Like I said, it's a crossover au! It's a mix of my favourite interests that I will show in the story. The story will be based on the canon castle crashers with some extra stuff to spice it up a little bit.

How many characters will be there?

A LOT of characters. I will put more focus on the main characters, but you will know about the other characters that will appear in the story.

The characters will get their roles as knights?

Yes and no. They will be characters that will have the knights roles but there will be other roles, such as magicians, thieves and even the enemies!

Does the au has horror elements?

Kinda. I don't know if it will. After all, now I started the au, so it's very new.

Will there be deaths?

Yes, there will be deaths in the au and oh boy... You will not be ready for it...

The main characters

Candy: a very young fairy that wants to find her brother after he disappears. She believes that she can be a great warrior, just like her brother but the other fairies are actually worried and won't let her go. Candy knows that she is very young for the world, but she's determined to go out there and fight her enemies.

Majorin: one of the magical strongest fairies from the fairyland. She was in the group where Candy's brother and her friends were. But then something happened that made her lose her memories slightly. Now, she is with Candy and goes on the adventure, to help her find her brother and find her group.

Oninin: ever see an Oni? This fairy is very strong, but not the fastest. Oninin was in the same group where Majorin was. After what happened to the group and the fairies were desperate, he lost slightly his memory, not remembering what happened next, just like Majorin. After he found the two fairies, he promised to help them and find the other members of the group.

Our three main characters explore the world and they are determined to fight the evil and bring a happy ending for everyone...

[cantdanceflynn]

So, tumblr user cantdanceflynn, on the totally random and unrelated subject of Napoleon, Wendell and Floyd...

What's your opinion on those three bugs? They show up in Doof 101 and the OWCA files only, so I guess they haven't had much time to shine, but like... I find them really annoying lmao.

It's like... objectively they aren't great.

They don't tie into the main plot, like, ever, because they're bugs! All they do is a bunch of fake-out deaths that I could care less about because it's established they have enough plot armor to be invincible. I might be more interested if they had actual influence over the story, like, for example, if they succeeded at contacting OWCA and then got to prove themselves someone. But at the moment, all they have to offer is their personalities... which aren't very developed.

All of their interactions are just:

Napoleon is acting like he's the best. One of the other bugs does something stupid to prove him right. Wendell makes a joke clearly aimed at children. (like a fart joke) Floyd acts stupid despite saying something smart.

Honestly, of the three of them, Floyd is my favorite because he's clearly as intelligent as Napoleon but he'd rather just act like a simple bug. There's at least a LITTLE bit of possibility for depth in his character, unlike the other two which are just: Comic relief character and boring narcissistic protagonist.

And I'm not kidding when I say they have the exact some plot in OWCA files as they do in Doof 101. It's just 'I must contact the humans'. I know pnf is a formulaic system, but with, for example Doof and Perry, it works because they actually DO stuff! Doof always have an inator to spice things up, and even though Perry always fight to stop him, he doesn't do it the same way anything. Plus, Doof and Perry are well-developed characters that are interesting to watch on screen.

The problem isn't even a frustration with how they never contact humans, Candace never busts the boys but she's still interesting, the PROBLEM is that the bugs are ONLY that. There's nothing else to them!

And, sure, you could argue that they only got two disconnected pilot episodes to appear in, but like... compare it to the first episode of pnf. Doof builds an inator to move the Earth with tinfoil or something... then expectations are subverted when it failed, putting him and Perry in danger so they have to work together! That one episode sets up their dynamic and the rest of the show perfectly!

What do the bugs do? They die-no wait, it was a fake out! Then they fail at something and die-oh finally we're back to the other plot-oh they are alive?? Too bad I don't care anymore. Oh, they're talking, are their relationships with one another compelling? No? It's practically the same conversation every time they talk and they aren't even PRETENDING to have any character development or learn a moral?

Even despite the boringness, even despite the lackluster personalities... the most important thing of all to have in a side plot of a cartoon show is relevance. How does this tie into the main story? Well.... in OWCA files they turn on a flashlight that one time. And uh... they're just. In the same room as the other plot. Hmm.

What needs to happen for plots to be related is for 1. Characters to cross over and 2. the climax of both stories need to come together somehow.

In pnf classic this works:

1. Perry crosses over every episode, and other characters also do so frequently, like Vanessa, and Buford that one time. And 2. The inators usually prevent Candace from showing Mom what's going on. Or sometimes the other way around happens, with Phineas and Ferb's creation messing up Doof's plan. But either way, no matter what... NO exceptions... There is a crossover, even if it's just Perry being an agent and Doof's 'disappear-inator' hitting their big creation.

But for the bugs...

1. No characters cross over. We just have three unrelated bugs. In the OWCA files, there could have been the easy fix of having one of the bugs be working for that evil bug guy, but nah, that doesn't happen. We just get three unknown characters. There's no twist that one of them is Doof's pet butterfly, or Buford's pet spider, or anything like that. 2. They don't do anything meaningful for the plot. For the flashlight thing... it would have been so easy for literally any other thing to give away Carl and Monogram's postion. Maybe they tried to do a yoga move that Carl didn't know and they fell on a bunch of loud stuff, or maybe Monogram stepped on the flashlight himself, accidentally turning it on. The possibilities are endless.

Honestly, I'm just a bit bummed out that we didn't get to see an interesting plot following a background character.

Maybe Irving and Baljeet attend high school because they're so smart, and they can be the B plot in Doof 101. Irving can start working with OWCA, giving some crossover with Perry and Doof's plot, and Baljeet can maybe have some interactions with that mean principal? Maybe Baljeet is such a teacher's pet that every time the principal might see what Doof did, Baljeet distracts him by doing an impressive science project. There's a lot of potential for special episodes with this premise! Doof is sick and Baljeet teaches the class for the day, for example. Maybe Irving and Perry have to work together to fight Rodney, who might have turned Doof evil again! We could have flashback episodes to when Doof, Charlene, and the principal were in highschool! Linda and the other parents could make appearences! We can meet other teachers, and have plots about what's happening in whatever class Candace is in during Doof's science class. The possibilities are endless, and all of them are better than those bugs.

For the OWCA files, well... Again, Irving! He can work with Monty and Vanessa. Or maybe, if we got a reoccurring villain, we could have new characters related to them, or- better yet- we can develop the other evil scientists more! I want to have an episode about the scientist who fights the frog, or the cat. I want to see Peter the Panda and Professor Mystery. I want to see Doctor Diminutive fighting Agent Silent G! Actually- Agent Silent G is a great opportunity to explore what happens to an agent who's cover is blown completely. He can come back into the plot sometimes to help out OWCA, while trying to live a life as a normal gnu now that he can't be a secret agent. And honestly, having Major Monogram and Carl as the B plot is a great idea too. The cast of the B plot should have been Monogram and Carl, along with Irving, Monty and Vanessa. Basically, all the humans who work at OWCA. Maybe even Stacy! She could be an intern along with Vanessa! And having Stacy there gives an opportunity for Candace to appear sometimes, which is always the best option. Like... honestly, Perry calling Stacy for backup is something I need to see. I needed that episode where Dennis escaped jail to end with Stacy grabbing him to give to Monogram because Perry told her Dennis was evil, and Dennis had no idea Stacy knew about OWCA.

Anyways, if you don't agree with me, sorry for this long rant I guess lmao. I am aware the bugs supposed to be comedy, but since I don't find it funny it's just SUPER annoying whenever they're on screen.

Signed,

Someone who only has the OWCA files left to watch and is dreading it because of those stupid bugs agiuhadskjfusd

PS: Huge missed opportunity in Fly on the Wall for Candace not to talk to them... I can accept them as cameos, just not a main plot...

PPS: Ohhhh and don't even GET me started on the implications this has for the food web of the pnf universe... are some animals and bugs just NATURALLY more intelligent? But animals HAVE to be more intelligent, because Perry and Major Monogram seem to be able to recruit just any random animal and have them understand English immediately.... But at LEAST we need to have bugs not all guaranteed to be intelligent because I refuse to accept that everyone from EVERY species is a vegetarian??? What about the cows that are clearly sentient yet live in captivity?? Ough... I could talk about this so much... But I will restrain myself because it's irrelevant. For now. O_o

OK FIRST OF ALL I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE UR REWRITE BC GODDAMN. UR IDEAS ARE SO GOOD OH MY GOD I NEED TO BE TAKING NOTES

AND SECOND, YOU ARE SO RIGHT. LIKE I HAVE NOTHING ELSE TO SAY YOU ARE SO RIGHT

AND YEA THE ANIMAL THING IS WEIRD. I KINDA FEEL LIKE ITS A CONTEXT THING AND LIKE. NOT ALL ANIMALS ARE ACTUALLY THAT INTELLIGENT (AND NGL CONSIDERING PINKY I DONT THINK THAT ITD MATTER IF THEY ALL WERE DIETARY WISE), CERTAIN ANIMALS ARE MORE INTELLIGENT BUT EVERY AVERAGE ANIMAL HAS AT LEAST SOME BASIS FOR HUMAN INTELLIGENCE, EVEN IF THEY DONT HAVE THAT INTELLIGENCE THEMSELVES.

OR, YOU KNOW, MOST OF THE RECRUITMENTS ARE FOR LEGAL REASONS AND IN THE RARE OCCASION WHERE THE ANIMALS DO HAVE HUMAN INTELLIGENCE, PERRY PICKED THEM OUT, SO :SHRUG:

I see all kinds of crossover stuff for Bayverse and Rise, but I feel like a crossover for Bayverse and 2012 has so much hidden potential. Hear me out-

The Bayverse boys are tall af, especially Donnie and Raph. And all of the 2012 boys are smol beans, with their Donnie the tallest at only 5'6". Hella height jokes And hella protective of the smol beans. The 2012 boys take full offense. This does not help their case. It's like angry kittens. Angry kittens that could kill you, but angry kittens nonetheless.

The 2012 boys being shooketh with how crude the Baverse boys can be. 2012!Splinter would have got them with the slipper if they had ever dared.

If the crossover is before 2012!Splinters death, Bayverse!Splinter and 2012!Splinter interactions would be *chefs kiss* but the sheer amount of heart-wrenching angst that could be if it's set after 2012!Splinter has passed.

I headcannon that Bayverse!Mikey is a hella good cook so either he'd take one look at 2012!Mikeys combinations and go "Oh hell naw" or he'd be like "Hot take, let's try it." Pranks galore on their brothers. No mercy.

Bayverse!Raph takes one look at 2012!Raph and goes "I've known mini-me for all of 2 seconds but If anything happens to him I will kill everyone in this room and then myself."Bayverse!Raph deffinitely helps 2012!Raph with workout routines. Knitting buddies.

Bayverse!Leo and 2012!Leo being exasperated yet secretly amused by the shenanigans their brothers get up to. Meditating buddies. 2012!Leo tries very hard to get Bayverse!Leo into Space Heros. He's not really into it but he doesn't have the heart to deny 2012!Leo when he wants to share his interests 🥺

I feel like the Donnies wouldn't vibe right away, but as soon as one started a science rant the other is immediately right into it with them. 2012!Donnie being a sassy little shit and Bayverse!Donnie being a Sweet Boi. He has no problem dishing it back because he has to put up with his Mikey being sassy as hell.

Watching him fade away f!reader

Basically I had this really weird mash-up/crossover in my head (yeah I know another one). Only with the mcu and the maze runner lol, sorry guys.

Summary: The Snap takes a lot of people, including the people that Tony Stark loves.

I don't know what the ship will be yet.

Inspired by: the book called: Him on fanfiction.net by Eya Silvers. It isn't finished and I think it's discontinued but every character is so much in character!! So please check that story out :))

TW/CW: Swearing, death

"Peter!"

Voice hoarse, you were desperately limping to the spider boy.

What the hell is happening?

What did Thanos do?

Your breath went up and down, the need for oxygen was enormous. But, you couldn't, you couldn't take a deep breath, it was too painful.

You took another step, the dry ground underneath you cracked. The eerie sound of rusting metal made you dread what will come.

Dust particles flew around them.

Not him too.

Your helmet was long gone, anyway what was left of it. Quickly pushing it away when he escaped. It was maybe 30 minutes, when that happend. You took a seat on a piece of rock and bide your time, hoping that whoever fought on Earth was winning.

You accepted it, your finger traced the wound on your leg in anticipation. Maybe then, the pain would stop. Your dad, Tony walked up to you with the help of Peter and swatted your finger away.

You could read his face easily.

Anxious, worried, mad these three emotions were swirling in his head.

"If you dare to touch that wound again, I'm selling all your stuff."

"No you don't." Nothing else could came out of your throat.

The two of you tried to smile eachother but it turned into a grimace. Quickly he gave a peck on the crown of your head, but the wound on his side didn't agreed with it.

"Stop- Dad! You're hurting yourself!"

"Stop talking," he ordered and with a big sigh he continued "I'm too good for this world". He turned his gaze to the wound, to examanize it, to analyse it, to heal it. He wiped away the blound on the corner of his mouth, he had to help you first. Tony had to find a way to heal you, find away to get the task out of his head otherwise he wouldn't know if you would survive it.

He wouldn't know if he would survive it to live without you or Peter. He didn't know if they could ever return to Earth.

Maybe they had to spend their slenting days on this planet.

He tried to think about something else, tried not to look at your wounds, at Peters wounds but that's everything he could see. Everthing was red, spilled with the blood of you two.

No, he couldn't lose you.

He couldn't.

So, he didn't tried to remove the piece of moon that got stuck in your leg, in fear that would cause an unimaginable blood loss.

Your breath was quick to quick for his liking. He blinked his tears away and saw that yours too were watery.

"Does it hurt?" He softly touched the side of your neck, his heart was making loopholes.

You hummed in pain, wiping away the blood on your cheekbone. You could hear Peter talk with a tensed voice.

The pain was overbearing, voices were distorting and you swore there were stars clouding your vision.

"Something's happening," Mantis whispered a warning.

You whipped your head and instead of Mantis, you saw a bile of dust flying away.

Oh my God, you were going crazy.

Then, Drax, Peter Quill and Dr. Strange followed.

Your eyes widened.

Scared were you.

No, terrified.

If you could scream, you would have done that.

Peter wasn't at your side anymore, he walked away. His breath was becoming deeper and deeper over the next couple of seconds and he folded his arms around his ribcase, he looked.. a bit sick.

"Mr. Stark?" He called out, Tony tore his gaze away from you and looked at Peter. With pain in your body, you shot yourself up, panic fueling adrenaline kicking in.

"I don't feel so good," wobbling at his feet he was looking at his hands. A couple of tears fell on the boy's cheeks.

Walking up to his mentor, no his father he stammered something out. He was looking for reasurrance, that it would be alright.

But, it wouldn't.

"You're alright," Tony's lie was a poorly covered up one.

Peter stepped forward, "I don't, I don't know what's happening. I don't-"

He fell in Tony's arms and clamped his arms around him like a scared child, he held Tony fast with a tight grip. He didn't want to slip away, Tony gripped him equally tight.

You took a step forward and then the next.

"Peter!"

Voice hoarse, you were desperately limping to the spider boy.

What the hell is happening?

What did Thanos do?

Your breath went up and down, the need for oxygen was enormous. But, you couldn't, you couldn't take a deep breath, it was too painful.

You took another step, the dry ground underneath you cracked. The eerie sound of rusting metal made you dread what will come.

Dust particles flew around them.

Not him too.

Tears were already flowing on your cheeks, you deeply sobbed while you looked at Peter. His legs were already gone.

He was frightened.

"I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go Mr. Stark please. Please, I don't wanna go, I don't wanna go," he pleaded.

It was quiet to quiet, for your liking. Only the buzz in your ears, the pleading from Peter and the soft sniffling from Tony was all that you could hear.

Tony softly laid him on the ground, you practically ran towards him. You didn't care that a piece of rock tore up your leg, you just wanted to go to him, to Peter.

On your knees you pushed away the curls from his forehead, he stared at nothingness for a second. He locked eyes with yours, turned his gaze away and looked at Tony.

He wanted something to say to the two of you, His arm, that was around Tony's shoulder dusted away.

"I'm sorry."

Turning his head, he looked at nothing again.

Slowly turning to dust.

You touched the place where he laid, but all you felt was dust.

"Peter!" you whailed.

Your dad engulfed you in a hug, trying to calm your grief, trying to calm his grief.

He lost Peter, he couldn't lose you.

A cry tore your vocal cords, laced with anguish and grief.

"No, not him. Not him, not him," you stammered out over and over again.

Tony rocked the two of you, patting the backside of your head.

You felt droplets in your hair, the both of you trying to calm down the other. You hugged your father, finding an anchor to hold on to.

He is still alive.

That's a positive sign right?

Pain is good, pain is life.

Sobbing again, you hugged him even tighter.

"What the fuck happend?"

"I don't know, I don't know."

Laying down your cheek on Tony's shoulder, you stared at the rusty fundments, should that have been buildings what Thanos talked about?

You wiggled your fingers, they felt strange. Then a hit of numbness and tingling shot up in your hands, mouth dropping to a frown you spoke alarmed.

"Dad-dad."

He pushed you softly away and looked you in the eye, you looked everywhere than his.

"My fingers-my hands. My hands are numb," your voice was higher than ever, panic laced in your voice. "My hands are numb."

Your hands were vanishing.

You freezed up, you could only watch your arms slowly disintegrating.

I'm going to die, I'm going to die.

I don't want to.

"I'm scared, dad. I'm scared, I don't want to-"

Tony hugged you again, a peck placing on your forehead.

Tears streamed down your cheeks.

"It's okay, sweetheart, just let go-"

"I'm scared."

You sniffled and a watery cough escaped your throat.

You turned your gaze away from Nebula, who stood a couple of meters away, then your eyes became glassy.

Turned to dust.

Tony doubled forward, catching the leftover dust that was supposed to be you.

When a child loses their parents, people will call them an orphan.

But what do they call parents who lost their child?

What do they call Tony now?

Disorientated he sat again, looking at his hands.

Empty.

That's what he felt.

"He did it," Nebula whispered, perhaps to no one.

Hunching foreward, he slowly shook his head and folded his hands around his chin.

What just happened?

Comments are appreciated! And who should I pair the reader up with, I thought maybe Thomas comment who your thoughts are :)

[rainbowtransform]

Okay so I can't watch RTMNT on mobile with parental controls apparently, so!!! I'm wondering!!! Do you have Tumblr/DeviantArt fanfics and or comics that take the cake. (This is such a niche sorta content rec ask but if I know someone's got me it's you-)

I mean you can throw AO3 stuff too, but I'd have to get my switch for it later ^-^

Hehehehehe

Post-Apocalypse Healing

Mikey & Leo, Turtle Tots

Piebald(?) (I think that’s how you spell it)

Favorite comic moments There are actual comics to this show but I don’t know where to find them tbh

Crossover with 2003, 2012, and Bay Movies

Now, onto the fanfics where I have decimated most of them, and hunger for more.

Hanging by a Turtle: “It happens almost too quickly. One moment Don has both feet on the ground, fighting some new wacko mutant trying to blow up the city, and the next? Wacko mutant does something Don can’t really process, and the ground is giving out beneath them.

Wacko mutant gets away. Donnie and his brothers? Yeah, they don’t.”

We’ve cleaned our wounds but the pain doesn’t fade that soon: “A post-movie look at how the Hamato family deals with the what happened after they've had a chance to recover.”

Operation: rest day: “Mikey gets an art block. Leo steps in.”

(SEE ALSO: Raph & Donnie (the same author wrote both and I’m recommending them.))

Baby Blues: “It seems like no matter how hard the boys try, trouble always finds them.

Apparently, going to a yokai festival is no exception. Sure, they probably should have seen this coming; if trouble always finds them, then going to the Hidden City is just wearing a giant neon sign plastered to their backs saying "Hey! Right here!" But they had tried so hard this time not to screw this up. They even listened to Splinter's orders about sticking together

Well, for the most part. But everyone was fine in the end. Leo's fine!

Except for the fact that he's five years old.”

(This is supposed to be a multi-chaptered fic, and I’ve got it on good record that it’ll come back with a chapter two soon, but it’s a really good oneshot too.)

Turtles, meet Turtles: “First it was Sacks, then it was Krang, and now it’s... themselves? Or at least, the mutants they find certainly look like them!”

(Bay Movies/Rottmnt crossover)

On Understanding Caring Hearts: “Leo was injured, badly, during a mission gone wrong. One moment he was on lookout duty with Donatello, the next he was on the ground, trying to make sense of everything as the world moved around him.

Fortunately, his brothers are there to help him through, at least, Leo thinks they are.”

Like Father Like Son: “Draxum wasn't quite ready to give up on his plan to use the turtles as his ultimate weapons just yet. When Leo is taken by Draxum, it's up to the other three turtles to get their brother back before it's too late.

Post episode The Evil League of Mutants.”

(Mind the tags on this, love)

save your tears (for another day): ““Oh my god?” Leo asks, staring at the weird, other fucking mutant turtles in the room, accompanied by two of the strangest humans Raph thinks he’s ever seen. “Are you guys - are you guys us?”

-

orrrr a crossover btwn 2012 and 2018 :)

(now with a sequel 😌😌)”

Panic Buttons: “It feels like he’s dying. His air is being ripped from him and his eyes are drooping and he’s dying he’s dying.”

A Singular, Bloody Mattress: “Dammit, he needs to think! Raph isn't the greatest at coming up with plans; he's always been more of a "smash first, talk later" kind of a guy.

And look where that got them. Raph's baby brother is bleeding out to death, they're being pursued by the stupid flame-heads with deadly (well, deadlier) paper ninjas with nowhere to go, and they're stuck in a mattress store of all places.

Leo would have known what to do. Hell, he'd have gotten them home by now with one of his portals, where they'd be enjoying the rest of their evening with pizza and a movie.

But they're not home. They're stuck with no where to run to, and Raph can't think.”

This is all I’ll give you for now :D. Read ‘em, and then let me know when youre done so I can give you more later on. And if I find any way to get the comics free, I’ll def let you know too!!

[yallemagne]

Now, I know that people here probably definitely know what happened in Dracula, but for those who don’t know what Tanz der Vampire is, it’s a German musical adaptation of The Fearless Vampire Killers. I still haven’t watched the movie, to be honest, but I’ve watched this musical several times. A professor and his assistant are in Transylvania and come across an inn. The assistant falls for the innkeeper’s daughter, but she gets whisked away by an obvious vampire count and hijinks ensue. It’s a comedy, they sing Total Eclipse of the Heart. 

Now, a Tanz der Vampire/Dracula crossover could go one of two ways (truthfully, it could go several different ways,, but for the sake of simplicity, two): 

Option one: Jonathan Harker on his journey to Castle Dracula meets the eccentric Professor Abronsius and his assistant Alfred (both aged a year or so down bc I headcanon TDV to take place maybe a few years after Dracula), and the Professor kind of bullies Jonathan into letting the two of them hitch a ride. 

Has the potential to be crack treated seriously. Jonathan and Alfred could bond over being young and underpaid... and Jonathan would prove to be much more competent than Alfred in killing vampires. He had the perfect opportunity to stake Dracula on the 30th but just didn’t know what that was yet. If he had an old man hovering over his shoulder like “stab him right between the sixth and seventh rib” he’d do it.

Option two: Jonathan is the solicitor to Graf von Krolock instead of Count Dracula. I’m not sure why Krolock would want to move, he’s kinda got everything that he needs. He even has a specific village he torments and forces to supply him with candles and stuff for his parties. Perhaps he just wanted takeout. 

Krolock does things differently from Dracula. He seduces his victims because that makes the blood taste better, I guess. And he’s got a son. Herbert is kind of a parody of the sexy vampire ladies, but he’s not the only other one in the castle. Krolock has a whole graveyard of exes that he hardly feeds except for when he throws extravagant parties.

Krolock is... less of a threat, really. Rather than gorge himself on several people against their wills, he invites people to his castle with promises of freedom and pretty dresses. Aaaand when he’s done with you, you get to join his exes in the graveyard. TDV doesn’t treat itself seriously, so this second crossover is a bit less scary than Dracula unless you’re willing to twist it into something more serious (since Krolock is basically grooming people). Some slash potential, I suppose. 

LIGHTNING ROUND OPTION THREE, I LIED WHEN I SAID TWO: The Crew of Light travel back to the Carpathians and... oh no, there’s another one??? Now, they only return to Castle Dracula seven years later, so all the plot of TDV (at least in my headcanon) is said and done. Though... time is an illusion and I can set TDV any time after Dracula. 

They’re here just... you know, to spit on Dracula’s grave and honour Quincey’s sacrifice, but then they get caught in a storm and have to stay in an inn where these two Prussian researchers are causing a fuss (the older of which recognizes Van Helsing and gushes over his writings), and then the daughter of the innkeeper, Sarah, runs away to the nearby vampire castle and our team says “Fuck NO.”

And... yeah, they’d completely destroy Schloss von Krolock. None of those vampires would make it out alive, but Alfred and Sarah would so... silver linings. Imagine the utter delight with which a vampire would invite an entire posse of foreigners into his home under the assumption he’s hit jackpot... and then the white-haired twunk murders him. What a twist, how tragic for this bitch. 

Abronsius: “Stake them, boy!!”

Alfred: “I-I can’t!”

Jonathan: “Bloody-- give me that.” 

Jonathan: *stakes Krolock with cold-blooded ease*

Abronsius: “... would you consider becoming my research assistant?”

Mina: *stakes Herbert* “Have either of you ever even hunted a vampire?”

Alfred: “We weren’t really sure they existed until now...”

Seward: “... oh my god, you would have died without us here...”

Nightcrawler and the Princess

Kurt Wagner x Reader

Fandom: Marvel/X-Men

Summary: Being the princess of a small kingdom has its perks. However, you’re not sure this is a secret you can share with the rest of your friends…

Note: Did I make this a subtle crossover with the Princess Diaries? Yes. Yes I did. Don’t worry about it.

Reader is: Female

Warnings: Swears

You carried the large box to the lunch table and set it there, in the middle of your friend group. Jean eyed it curiously.

“What’s that?”

“Care package from my mom.” You replied, using the pair of scissors you kept in your school bag to cut open the packing tape. “She said there’s stuff for the rest of you in here too. Probably candy or something.”

“That’s nice of her.” Scott smiled, watching as you opened the cardboard box.

“Ah, yep.” You reached into the bag and pulled out several packages of Genovian chocolates. “Here you go, guys.” You told them.

Kurt’s eyes narrowed at the bags, his tail hovering behind him curiously. He recognized that packaging. “These…I know these chocolates. Does your mother live in Genovia?”

“Oh, uh, yeah. I’m from there, actually.”

Peter thought for a second, already munching on chocolate. “Wait, I thought you were American.”

“Nope.” You laughed, reaching further into the box and pulling out a handful of little Genovian flags she’d sent. “Ah, right. Independence day is coming up.”

“Where even is Genovia anyway?” Warren asked, admiring the little flag once you handed it to him.

“It’s a tiny little country between France and Italy.” You explained. “It’s really beautiful there, though.”

“It’s the most beautiful place I’ve ever been.” Kurt reminisced, sighing fondly.

“When did you visit?” You asked him.

“Several years ago.” He said. “The circus had a few shows there when I was young. The people were so kind, and the coast sparkled like diamonds.”

“You were with the Munich circus, right?” You asked him, trying to remember. He nodded proudly, a smile settling onto his face. “I was at one of your shows! I knew you looked familiar! Oh my god…” You laughed and shook your head. “I should have put those pieces together sooner.”

“You were there?”

“Yeah! My mom took me for my birthday.” You smiled, remembering the show fondly.

And Kurt knew then the information that you were withholding from the rest of the group. His eyes widened slightly and he studied your features. He remembered you. He remembered that day and he remembered the feeling of his heart hammering when after the show, the Queen of Genovia herself introduced him to her daughter, who was about his age. She’d taken her there because it was the princess’ birthday. Though your meeting was brief, he’d remembered it all this time, thinking of it every once in a while…the time he’d met a princess.

You didn’t look all that different now than you had then. Why you hadn’t told the rest of your friend group, he wasn’t sure, but he would keep the secret for you. Of course he would. He smiled softly, admiring you with his new revelation in mind. Even before he’d figured it out, you’d already been a princess to him anyway.

Peter studied the look on Kurt’s face and squinted. Something was going on. Something was going on and he would get to the bottom of it…

***

Over the weekend, your friend group had decided to go to the mall, but before you left, Kurt knocked on the door to your room.

“It’s open, come on in.” You told him.

He pushed open the door and stepped into the room timidly. You were at your desk, reading what appeared to be a letter written on a piece of paper.

“What’s up?” You asked, not looking up from the letter when you asked it.

“You’re coming to the mall, right?”

“Yeah, what time is it?” You glanced down at your watch. “Oh shit. Sorry I’m late.” You chuckled, folding the note and tucking it into your dress drawer. “My mom wrote me a letter with her package.” You explained.

“How nice!” Kurt smiled and you couldn’t stop your heart from fluttering at the way it lit up his face. “Do you write each other letters back and forth?”

“When I have time to, yeah.” You nodded, shoving your hands into your pockets. “Well, shall we?”

Kurt nodded and offered you his arm. You took it and in a poof of smoke, suddenly, you were standing in the living room, where the others were all standing.

Peter had a weird look on his face and you weren’t sure why, but you knew he was up to no good. He always seemed to be…

The squad piled into the car, as usual, and arrived at the mall in under thirty minutes. Jubilee picked the tunes, which was always a good choice, so the ride there was pleasant and relatively uneventful.

You all walked inside and started the routine of shopping around in all of your usual stores. The prom was coming up, so you all spent some time in the dress place on the upper level of the store.

“What color dress do you think you’re going to get, (Y/N)?”

“Mmm, I’m not sure.” You thought for a moment. “Maybe something pink. Or…blue?”

“I think blue would look great on you.” Jubilee grinned, flipping through the rack of blue dresses.

“I agree.” Jean smiled, her eyes flicking over towards Kurt, who was on the other side of the store with the boys.

“Hey now.” You warned, your cheeks warming at the thought. “What did I say about reading my mind?”

“I didn’t need to read your mind. You’re more obvious than you think you are.” She chuckled.

“What she said,” Ororo agreed, causing your cheeks to flush even hotter. “Why don’t we ask the boys which one you should wear?”

“That’s a great idea.” Jubilee agreed, despite your shaking head. “Hey boys!”

“Yes? What’s going on?” Kurt bamfed over beside you, looking at Jubilee curiously.

“Which dress should (Y/N) wear to prom?” Ororo held up one pink dress and one blue dress.

“The blue one.” Scott said knowingly, crossing his arms and smirking. Okay. So he and Jean had talked, then. “Definitely the blue one.”

“I agree.” Warren nodded.

“What do you think, Kurt?” Scott nudged the teleporter.

“I think you’d look beautiful in anything. But I do like the blue one. It brings out your eyes.”

“T-thanks.” You blushed, giggling. None of you committed to dresses, so after looking around for a while the squad decided to hit the food court while looking over movie times.

“So…” Peter looked up at you and cleared his throat, drawing the attention of the rest of the group. “When were you planning to spill the beans…your highness?”

You swore your blood ran cold. You looked up at him, your heart racing in your chest and the color drained from your face. “Excuse you?”

“You heard me.” Peter raised an eyebrow, leaning back in his chair confidently. “When were you going to tell the rest of us your little royal secret?”

You froze, staring at him for a long time. “Maximoff,” you said through gritted teeth, your eyes glowing faintly. “Choose your next few words very carefully.”

“Oh I have. (Y/N)’s the princess of Genovia.”

“Pfft. As if.” Scott scoffed, chuckling, but he stopped when he looked at the look on your face. “Oh shit, is he serious?”

“Who the fuck told you?!” You asked him, your voice raising the teeniest bit. “The only people who know are Professor Xavier and Dr. McCoy, so which one do I have to kill when we get home?”

“Neither. I snooped in Xavier’s office. Found your file.” Peter shrugged. “And of course, that begs the question: Why didn’t you tell us?”

“Listen…” You exhaled a long breath, looking to each of your friends faces for a moment before fixing your eyes on the table. “When people know, they treat me differently. I don’t think they mean to, but they do and it sucks. I like having friends and I love hanging out with you guys and I didn’t want to ruin that because of something as stupid as status.”

“You’ve got us.” Jean promised. “We’re not going anywhere. This doesn’t change anything. And…I already kind of knew. Not that you think about it often, but every once in a while…”

“I figured that might happen, yeah.” You chuckled. “Thanks for keeping it on the DL.”

“Of course.” She nodded.

“I knew too…” Kurt confessed, looking you in the eye.

You crinkled your eyebrows and then nodded, understanding. Of course he knew. You two had met before, after the show. You’d asked your mother if you could meet some of the performers, and she’d pulled some strings to make it happen. You distinctly remembered meeting Kurt. You remembered his smile and his adorable pointy ears.

“That’s right.” You smiled. “We met.”

“We did.” He agreed, nodding, a smile tugging at his lips and a faintly purple color creeping across his cheeks. “Although, I’ll admit, I didn’t realize it was you until…very recently. We aren’t kids anymore.”

“We sure aren’t.” You agreed, a chuckle escaping your lips.

And it was fine after that. It was normal. Much more normal than you’d expected it to be. Another week came and went. You finished your letter to your mom, Queen Clarisse, and when its response came back in the mail, you found it accompanied by a small picture she had saved all these years. As soon as you looked at it, a smile on your face, you knew you had to show Kurt.

So, you ran out to the courtyard, where you knew he was, and found him reading under the shade of a large tree in the front yard.

“Kurt!”

“What’s up?”

“My mom sent a few copies of this photo. Do you want one?” You asked, sitting next to him in the grass and handing him the photo. He looked it over, holding it very carefully in a large, three-fingered hand.

“This is us, ja?”

“Mmhmm.” You hummed, nodding. “A very long time ago.”

“We were so young…” He murmured, admiring the smile on his face as well as yours. He remembered you’d been nervous to meet him and at first, he thought it was because of the way he looked, but quickly learned it was because you’d been enamored by his performance. Absolutely blown away. You’d been so kind to him then, just as you were so kind to him now.

“We really were.”

“Do you mind if I keep this?”

“It’s all yours.” You told him. “So, what’cha reading?”

“Beauty and the Beast.” He told you. Ever since remembering that one of his best friends was a princess, he’d been on a bit of a fairytale kick.

“Mmm, that’s a good one.” You smiled and tilted your head, your eyes sparkling. “Read to me?”

“Of course.” He laid back against the tree again, holding the book open with his tail.

You got closer to him, wrapping an arm around his waist and resting your head against his lean chest. His arm wrapped around you and tugged you closer, and without even thinking about it twice, he pressed a soft kiss to your hairline before starting to read again.

Kurt decided then that there was no place in the world he’d rather be than under his favorite tree, a princess resting contently against his chest.

Part 2?

ASK GAME ASK GAME #3, #15, #17 and #30

3 - What work are you most proud of? Oh man this is actually a really tough call this year, but I think I have to go with don't bet your future (till our stars collided). I feel like I did a really good job hitting all of the emotional beats I wanted to, and it just turned out exactly like I'd hoped when I first started it. That almost never happens, but I fell in love with so many things about that story (and its tie-ins) while I was writing.

15 - What WIP are you taking into next year with you? I don't have anything big that I began in 2022 that is incomplete (my nanowrimo idea got backburnered because it turns out I am NOT in a good mental space for a fic that starts as dark as that one does). I've been poking at a Sandman Morpheus-turns-human idea, but I'm not sure that will go anywhere. The biggest thing is a story I actually started several years ago, a Merlin fic set immediately post-canon. I've got about 12k of REALLY GOOD STUFF (i think), but I haven't picked it up in ages. Hoping my current rewatch gets that going again! I do also have about 10k of a JATP/MCU crossover I'd very much like to finish, but I'm hoping to get that posted before the end of the year.

17 - Your favorite character to write this year? Gotta go with Reggie. I don't even know how closely my Reggie resembles canon Reggie these days, because I've given him a lot more depth than the show ever did (*insert bitterness here*), but I don't even care, I just love that stupid boy so much. Dream of the Endless is a verrryyyyyy close second, though.

30 - Biggest surprise while writing this year? Well, first of all, I wrote for The Batman. That definitely took me by surprise, LOL. But more seriously, I wrote two very long (for me) fics, and I was hella fcking proud of both of them. I still am. I think they're fantastic. For me, as a writer, that...pretty much never happens. And just in general, I think I'm most surprised by how well I've managed to come to terms with writing outside the "popular" things, and still managing to be proud of work that doesn't generate a lot of hits or kudos because it's a rare ship or a dying fandom. Not too long ago, that would have broken me, and I would have spent months questioning my abilities as a writer and wondering if it was worth continuing on. Now, I'm finding the joy in writing things for me, things that make me happy, and being happy with them. That's a huge surprise, tbh.

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

I try to! Sometimes I get busy or depressed or sick, etc., and I fall behind, but I try to respond, for a number of reasons - they give me so much joy that I want to acknowledge that they have brought my joy; it is so wonderful to see what people to respond to and love and laugh at and cry over, it definitely makes me a better writer, and so I want to acknowledge that, too; and comments when I’m in the middle of posting a fic are especially helpful to me because they often result in me tweaking what’s coming next in response to questions I see people have that indicate I’m not being clear enough, or maybe I’m not hitting the tone I want, etc. And so I like to respond to be like, “Thank you! You have no idea how important and wonderful this is to me!”

6. What’s the fic you’ve written with the angstiest ending?

Oh, wow. While I actually think I can write good angst, when I do it I try to have it in the middle of the fic, so that it gets properly resolved to give you a nice, happy ending. I’m sure someone’s going to be like, YOU ARE FORGETTING THIS HEART-WRENCHING THING YOU WROTE, but all I’m coming up with right now is that, in my long Doctor Who ‘verse I wrote, I did a fic in which their family dog died. That was pretty angsty. (omg I just scrolled down to see how I ended this story and OH MY GOD ahahah I forgot that I wrote this after I’d broken up with the Tenth Doctor and so it ends with Brem being like, “Plus, my father is useless so I have to hold the entire family together all the time” hahahaha what an extra-angsty ending, Brem, my love lol)

7. Do you write crossovers? If so what’s the craziest one you’ve written?

I do sometimes! I feel like most of my crossovers make some amount of sense. Like, okay, maybe you wouldn’t think to cross Inception with Fall Out Boy (this was a special request) but I think the premise of the fic makes total sense. And I once crossed Oliver with Brem, but those were my first two beloved precocious fic songs, so that made some sense, too. And I still think Inception and Sherlock crossed together made SO much more sense than actual seasons of Sherlock lol. So I guess if I had to choose the craziest I would go with the Doctor Who/Gossip Girl crossover I wrote lol. But wait, that one actually also made sense as I wrote it, I think, so I’ll go with the Sherlock/Fall Out Boy crossover because that was just bonkers.

8. Have you ever received hate on a fic?

Yes. I wrote a fic that was really horrible to Mary in “Sherlock.” I hate Mary. I feel like I can say that now. I haaaaaated Mary. But in those days “Sherlock” was an incredibly tense fandom to be part of and if you didn’t say that you loved Mary all the time forever and always then people were like !7@((!*(@(!& at you. I have a million massive warnings in all caps all over the fic, like, DON’T READ THIS IF YOU LIKE MARY, and people still would leave rude comments on it lololol. And then we wonder why I left that fandom lol. (I mean, many people in the fandom were wonderful, and I don’t always have REASONS why I leave fandoms, it’s not like anything is that logical or rational. But it wasn’t a very fun time to be in Sherlock fandom. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

9. Do you write smut? If so what kind?

I do. My smut almost always has to be advancing some kind of emotional beat in the characters’ relationship. I’m never super-explicit because usually the whole point of the scene to me is what the characters are thinking and feeling, not really what they’re *doing.*

10. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Sometimes my fics show up somewhere without my knowledge. People are really good about letting me know when that happens.

11. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Yup!

12. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes!

13. What’s your all-time favorite ship?

This is like asking who my all-time favorite child is.

14. What’s a wip that you want to finish but don’t think you ever will?

I have this high school Peterick AU that I started at the beginning of the pandemic. For some reason, when schools shut down, all I could think about was all these bands that wouldn’t get formed because the kids couldn’t go to each other’s houses, like Pete Wentz couldn’t just show up at Patrick Stump’s to hear him play. So I started this story where Pete and Patrick meet right before the pandemic hits, and then everything locks down and they’re stuck Facetiming each other and coming to the realization that their soulmate is on the other side of the screen.

Anyway, I actually think this fic is super-hot?? And I never think I write hot things, but it’s got a hot phone sex scene and I’m really happy with it and I would love to finish the story...except that the pandemic turned out to be...this. And in my head, Idk, I thought there’d be this triumphant moment where everyone would be like, “Yay! We can see each other now!” and Pete and Patrick would reunite, and instead everything petered out into, “Can we see each other now........????? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ “ and I didn’t know what to do with that in my fic, it made it not as neat as I was wanting it to be.

But I hate to lose that hot phone sex scene hahaha. And also after the hot phone sex scene Patrick adds “Hotline Bling” to his and Pete’s shared Spotify playlist they’ve been working on and I’M SORRY, I FOUND THAT SO CHARMING, PATRICK STOLE MY HEART WITH THAT MOVE, anyway, as you can see, I love so much about the fic and I really want to find a way to make it work and maybe someday I will the end.

15. What are your writing strengths?

My dialogue.

Also I think I write the same story over and over (person realizes that they’re deserving of being loved for exactly who they are), but I think I’m REALLY GOOD at that one story lol

Also I like to think that I write family relationship stuff fairly well, like, Idk, I love doing that stuff, whether found family or biological.

Oh, and I think I usually get the ratio of angst::happy ending pretty good (in my view for my personal preference lol).

16. What are your writing weaknesses?

I don’t think I’m especially good at smut. I’m terrible at paying attention to things like setting, what the characters are wearing, what the characters even look like, etc. As mentioned above, I tell the same story over and over and over, and I’m okay with that, but yeah, I’d be bad at telling a story where people aren’t, like, nice people who you’re rooting for.

17. What are your thoughts on writing dialogue in other languages in a fic?

I think I couldn’t do it, because I don’t speak any other language, but I’m always happy when people translate my fics!

18. What was the first fandom you wrote for?

Doctor Who. Although maybe, like, New Kids on the Block self-insert stuff counts from junior high??? But Doctor Who was first published.

19. What’s your favorite fic you’ve written?

Please see above re: favorite child lol

I tag every writer who wants to do this and I hope every writer does this because I always think these are fascinating!!

one bouquet from my boys: (you can talk about or a little, you just deserve flowers!) 🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻🌻

Daww thank you !! :D But boy oh boy is this post going to be long because I have thoughts running through my head 24/7 haha

Firstly, I'm just going to start off with my xenoblade chronicles 2 thoughts and feelings because there's so very much. To start off, the game gets a lot of hate for it's fanservice-y stuff, in which it's okay to not like fanservice stuff! I personally also don't like fan service either, but that's all people make it out to be when there's so much more to the game than fan service. I kid you not every time I still bawl my eyes out to certain things that happen within the game even though I KNOW they're gonna happen. But that may be because this game holds so much sentimental value to me due to it being my first jrpg I ever completed and STILL play today. And while yes, some parts of it I'm personally not fond of myself are in it, I still love the game and the cast! Especially my son Rex hehe.

-

I actually have so many more muses I want to add to this blog but if I did there would be way too many xenoblade muses to count LOLL, the whole xenoblade chronicles 2 cast lives in my head rent free pretty much!! And there are a lot more but I cannot think them up right now. Long story short ;; I have a lot of muses that live in my head but not on my blog haha

-

In my free time I like to try and draw my muses of write private drabbles for them because they're in a certain mood and they want to express it! And the reason why I say private drabbles is because how much I write on said drabble can vary and I just typically like perfecting my writing if I publish the drabble to tumblr and sometimes I don't feel like it djkjjfkhg

-

I have an absolutely horrible habit of imagining scenarios in my head to music and not writing it out, especially when I'm heavily fixating on a fandom. Or just in general! In which causes me to end up missing things such as messages and other things.

-

I don't think I've ever actually stated this before, not that I should really need to but I kinda want to say it now, but I do have diagnosed ADHD in which makes things hard for me to actually do sometimes. It affects not only my writing but my activity as well due to certain aspects of it. Which is why I'm always so glad for everyone's patience with me not only because I'm a newer writer compared to most of my partners, but because my ADHD does sometimes has it days where makes me just not able to do things.

-

I actually listen to any kind of music when it comes to writing, but in specific I've come to find music box lullabies to be one of the most productive music's I've ever worked to. But besides that, I typically have a character playlist to set me in the mood for a specific muse.

-

I really love symbolism and parallels so very much in writing it's really ridiculous at this point, like if you point out a subtle symbolism in a movie or book or just in general that makes the meaning of something just even a little bit better I will loose my mind because I genuinely think little details like that are so cool.

-

Okay, I thought I'd gotten off my xb//c2 rambling train but I'm not yet! I love the game a lot yes and it's very helpful and open to crossovers because of a specific DLC, but if anyone ever asks me to help them come up with a XB//C2 VERSE, I will accept no hesitation because so much of the lore is stored up right in my little head.

-

Oh another fun fact about xb//c2, normua did the designs of the main antagonistic group Torna. Another thing would be that Cloud and Jin share the same japanese VA !! I just think little things like these are neat.

-

Jin is genuinely such a complex character to write but that's what I love about him as a character, because he's genuinely such an interesting antagonist because he USED to be aligned against Malos ( another antagonistic figure ) before the events of xb//c2 but because of certain events he becomes allies with Malos. It's a lot to explain but to say the least the way his character develops is interesting and it'd need a post of itself if I were to go fully in depth.

-

I recently got into Persona 5 and it is genuinely such a good piece of media to me and I love it so very much, especially with how it handles it's characters. And it has me considering to add a persona 5 muse(s) eventually, not now but some time in the future if I'm feeling confident with writing a character.

-

I don't get to say it often enough but if you're from a fandom I know not much about, chances are I'll do research about your fandom and maybe watch an anime/video game playthrough/book and ect. because I love to find new fandoms I can dip into

-

I find it funny how more times than not I end up becoming friends with people older than me and they more than often call me baby. Because while it's endearing, at the same time I'm just so used to being the older person in most of my IRL friend groups pffft ( also little note: I'm always safe when I'm making friends with people that're older than me, I take internet safety very seriously! )

-

 I do actually have an occupation, it just doesn't take up as much of my time online as it used to about a year or so ago because some don't stream anymore while others don't stream as often. I mod on twitch for quite a decent amount of people. It was 23 people the last time I checked, and while I may not get paid with actual money I'm just actually happy to be there and make sure the stream's a safe space for people. ( They do make sure I do not overwork myself though fshjdfj)

-

I often get assumed to be older than I actually am both in real life and online, so if you ever think I’m older than I am on accident don’t worry it’s happens a lot more than you’d think LOLL
