The Drought

A/N: Hello again! So, trying to get back into the swing of things so I searched for some fic prompts and came across this one! Prompt at the end. Feel free to drop prompts into my ask! I'd love to write more! Here’s what’s frustrating: out of the entire Atlantis expedition, approximately three quarters of them are ATA gene carriers, all thanks to Carson’s finely tuned gene therapy. Awesome. Great. They now have an entire plethora of people to pick from for ‘light bulb duty’ down in the ancient labs, but the problem is, while there are plenty of people to choose from now, Atlantis and her ancient tech just refuses to work for anyone as well as she works for John fucking Sheppard. It’s infuriating, honestly, but Rodney supposes he shouldn’t be surprised. After all, Captain Kirk has managed to practically sleep his way across the Pegasus Galaxy and if Atlantis was a person, of course she would be a she, so of course she would line up with the rest of hussies and--. Hmph. Maybe it’s John that’s the hussy. Lieutenant Colonel Hussy. Okay, that’s almost funny.

“What are we doin’ here again?” Sheppard asks in that nasally, whiny voice he has and it brings Rodney back to the present where they’re currently testing out what very well could be the galaxy’s version of a blood sugar monitor but it only wants to work with John. “I want you to put your finger under the little…. Thing there and think it on,” Rodney says, like it’s the most self-explanatory thing in the world. The duhis left unsaid but it’s there, hanging in the air. He’s also trying very hard not to think about where else he might like Sheppard to put his finger and-- “Why?” It’s infuriating, not only that John Sheppard is the only one that Atlantis responds so easily to, but that he doesn’t even seem to care. Rodney can feel the tips of his ears go red at the annoyance, but there’s that almost smug smile that touches Sheppard’s lips and God, he’s so annoying. And handsome. And smart (not as smart as Rodney of course, but then--) Right. Ancient tech. “It’s not working,” John intones and Rodney frowns down at the tablet. “Well, you aren’t trying hard enough.” “Trying hard enough at what? I’m doing exactly what you said, Rodney.” “Think harder then.” “Can’t we just try something else? Somethin’ cool?” And John honest to God whines and Christ, why is this Rodney’s life? “I just need you to think it on, Colonel,” Rodney snips mostly because they’ve been down here in this lab for the last hour or so and it’s just a couple of them and for the last fifty eight minutes and thirty two seconds, Rodney has been acutely aware of just how close Sheppard is sitting to where he’s working and he just wants to be done. John sighs and screws his eyes shut for all of three seconds before he opens one slowly, glancing down at the machine. Nothing. “I don’t wanna say I toldja so, but--.” “Not another word,” Rodney huffs and he drops the tablet onto the table, lifting a hand to massage his temples. He’s over this. He’s really, really over this and when he glances up at Sheppard to dismiss him, he’s slightly embarrassed to find the Colonel already looking at him, an unreadable look on his face. “I guess that’s it then,” he says, and he sounds annoyed. “We’re done for the day.” “Well, I guess I’ll see ya later then,” John says, standing from his stool and waving lazily at the crew before he slouches out of the lab, Rodney looking after him as he does. It takes all of two seconds before Zelenka speaks up. “Ahem,” he says, feigning clearing his throat. “Perhaps you would like it if I got you a glass of water?” “Not near the ancient tech,” Rodney answers automatically before he realizes exactly what Radek said. “What?” “Clearly, you are incredibly thirsty.” It’s not just Rodney’s ears that go pink this time, but his cheeks burn too. “I have no idea—” “Oh please,” Radek smirks. “The tech works just as well for any other gene carrier here on Atlantis, you know that. We all know you just pretend it doesn’t to give you an excuse to get Sheppard down here and ogle him for an hour.” “First of all, there is no ogling anyone here and second of all, you knowthe city responds best to him! We can’t all be natural gene carriers with the stupid hair and that stupid slouch and--.” “Relax, Rodney,” Radek says and he’s still teasing but maybe there’s something else there too. “For what it is worth, Miko, Simpson and myself believe that the Colonel is just as… parched.” “Wait, wait, wait, you’re saying—No, no. You’re wrong. It’s not possible.” Radek shrugs. “If you say so.” He’s content to let it go and go back to work, and Rodney thinks it really sucks that Zelenka would put such a thought in his head and then just goes back to pretending he hasn’t completely melted Rodney’s brain. Well, what the hell is he supposed to do about this now?

He gives it a few days, lets himself ruminate on it and he’s still pretty certain that Radek is full of it. But then they’re back to the labs, Sheppard back on lightbulb duty, except this time they’re alone and Rodney cannot… well, he can’t quite look away from the Colonel, no matter how hard he tries. Not even when the blood sugar monitor turns on at the slightest thought from Sheppard and--. “Rodney? Something on your mind, pal?” “No,” Rodney answers, perhaps just a little too quickly, eyes snapping down to the tablet in his hand as he catalogs the response the tech is giving John. “Why?” Because he can’t leave well enough alone. “IS there something on yourmind?” John’s response is just as defensive, an emphatic no, and Rodney knewthat Radek was full of shit, that little--. There’s a shrill alarm that sounds for a fraction of a second before the sprinklersthat Rodney didn’t even know existed come on, immediately soaking them both. John curses and stands up from the stool quickly and Rodney very nearly slips in an attempt to get the tablet out of the water, only managing to keep from busting his ass when John reaches for him and suddenly, they’re standing there so close and--. Thirsty. Yes, perhaps he is. “Sheppard, I--.” He doesn’t get a chance to say what he is when John leans forward and crushes their lips together and oh. Oh. This is… this is nice. He relaxes against it, perhaps leaning into it a bit more than he means to and it seems to continue for an eternity before John finally, perhaps reluctantly, pulls away. “Didn’t think you’d ever get with the program, Rodney,” John mutters and he looks a little embarrassed but a lot proud of himself and--. “Sorry it took so long to get the tech workin’,” he says, rubbing the back of his neck and Rodney realizes he should probably figure out how to turn the sprinklers off, but he’s a little dumbstruck right now, to be frank. “I was hopin’ that if we had to try again, no one else would be here so I could--. Well. So I could see if you were maybe just as dehydrated as I am.” Sonofabitch. Zelenka was right. “Absolutely bone dry.” “Well,” Sheppard says, and there’s a hint of an almost devious smile touching his lips. “Let’s see what we can do about quenching that, huh?” Definitely Lieutenant Colonel Hussy. But this time, Rodney’s more than okay with it.

Your prompt: Person B staring admiringly at Person A from across the room. A friend whispers into Person B's ear: 'Why are you so thirsty?'

Diavolo as a Dad

I just want to take a sec and thank everyone for the attention this blog gets. I’m always surprised at how many notes and reblogs there are. Seriously! I have, like, 16 posts and somehow I have 400 followers?! It’s really nice (つ´∀｀)つ

I like it best when there’s comments. It makes me happy ＼(^o^)／

I saw a comment on “The Bros as Dads” post asking for Diavolo as a dad, so here you go. I tried to tag you, but your handle didn’t come up :/

Hopefully you guys like this. I feel like Diavolo’s character is very vague.

This kind of turned into general Diavolo headcanons + Diavolo as a Dad. My b.

General Diavolo Headcanons:

I headcanon that demons have a natural attraction to humans not only because of whatever energy they could provide, but because there’s something innate that makes them want humans. Maybe like an ancient call to their corruptibility or something. Or simply a predator coaxing prey into the den.

Diavolo is especially susceptible to this because he’s the prince. The higher up in the demon hierarchy you are, the more you want humans for their spirit, purity, the soul contract, and just some kind of satisfaction only they can give

There’s probably a forbidden fruit element to it, too. Demons were harassed by humans and angels alike to leave them be, and that just made them more attractive

He genuinely wanted to befriend humans and knock down some old walls and superstitions, so he made the exchange program. A lot of times the sheer excitement of making it happen is enough to take the edge off his demon side. Ignore the whispers saying the little human would be such a treat, like a little lamb in the palm of his hand...

Diavolo’s a pretty outgoing and friendly guy who’s been trapped in a castle of propriety and demands. This human is also his chance at escape, to learn more than books could ever teach him.

At first he’s worried about seducing them (like the old call demands) but when he realizes the human has a crush on him without that influence, he’s stoked.

Pure and perfect, right? THE example of what his program was trying to achieve!

The dates start off innocent and cute--studying and tea in the castle, a small brunch here and there. Diavolo has skipped out on several duties because he simply must treat you to Devildom cuisine! If he didn’t, they wouldn’t get the full experience now, would they?

Barbatos has had to hunt down Lord Diavolo more than he cared for. If you end up convincing Diavolo back to the castle, he respects you. He appreciates the extra babysitter.

You bring a joy to Diavolo’s lavish monotony and he wants the Devildom and human world to know he’s serious about forging better bonds, so he asks if you want to make a pact.

That’s what he says, but it’s so much more than that. Diavolo couldn’t put it all into words and you probably don’t have the lifespan it would take for him to explain (if he could).

At most, there’s something warm and giddy and pulsing in him at the thought of being so close with you. Two souls sharing a bond. Being looked at with such love and adoration...

His pact mark is large and elaborate, and he takes great joy in hiding it from the Devildom, relishing the rare mornings where he helps you dress. He doesn’t regret bonding with you, but he doesn’t want to draw unsavory attention.

Diavolo as a Dad (when you’re pregnant) :

You realize you’re pregnant before Barbatos and Diavolo do, neither one of them very familiar with how humans carry the pregnancy or change throughout.

There’s subtle signs about how your skin is changing, the way your hair looks, and how you smell different. It’s firing off in Diavolo’s brain, tickling at the edge of it, but he can’t figure out what it is.

Barbatos consulted Solomon and got extra suspicious. When you realize he’s starting to put it together, you do the reveal.

You write a note and draw a picture of the pregnancy test, mixing it up in the papers he has to review. Then, just to be extra cute, you busy yourself about the castle to “give him private time”.

Diavolo is handling his paperwork, per usual (it’s almost automatic). The unofficial form catches his eyes since it’s more a note than anything. He reads it and suddenly the WHOLE CASTLE is up in arms with joy.

Doesn’t matter what room you’re in, you heard him. That big, joyful laugh that works his whole chest.

The Little D’s of the castle are skittering around and whooshing through walls to help him find you. You can hear him flying around and calling for you, and it’s like the times you’ve played hide and seek.

The second Diavolo finds you, he crushes you to him and smothers you with kisses. His eyes sparkle as he snuggles you, big purr rolling through his chest. He’s asking a million questions about human children

The two of you take classes together. He studies up on humans and you learn about how to care for demon babies.

Barbatos cries inside at the thought of baby-proofing the castle. He gets the bright idea to hire a bunch of moms and they do sweeps of the castle, tidying up and making lists of what needs to be put away or added to make it safe

You’re given a special brew (exclusive to the royal family) and drink it daily. It fortifies your body to deliver the child and gives the baby its royal heritage (basically makes sure Diavolo’s genes and the demon side comes out a bit stronger).

Even though it tastes good and something in it makes you want to drink it, you’re sick of it by the second month. Barbatos and Diavolo continue to insist that you do. The child should be at least half-demon and will need to be recognized as next-of-kin for ruling.

Diavolo would love to take you out to socialize and attend public classes, but he’s busy and you’re in a delicate state. The royal physicians say the brew does a lot internally so it’s best not to stress you too much (If he’d done The King’s Brew ritual before you were pregnant, the baby would’ve been 3/4th demon and you wouldn’t have so many restrictions. Who knew?)

There’s a lot of private dates around the royal gardens and any beautiful sight he can give you. If you want company, he invites people to you. You want exquisite food? Barbatos can cook, but if you don’t want his cooking then Diavolo can have it delivered. The castle is spacious enough for you to get your daily exercise with simple walks.

He adores seeing you in the royal colors and is constantly sharing visions of diaphanous gowns and anything that can make you comfortable to the designers. Always gushes when he sees you in something new.

Being an old-fashioned demon prince, he does a series of small oil paintings instead of maternity photos. When you explain that maternity photos are more of a human thing, he books a session so the child can see both (the oil paintings are tasteful and appropriate for the castle but they all end up in his study).

Is totally on board with helping you dress (or laying in bed with your huge baby bump when clothes seem a bit hard for the next 5-10 minutes), and taking long, relaxing baths.

Takes his paperwork to bed so he can watch you sleep. You might snore, and the bed is almost comically huge, but you look so relaxed that Diavolo swears you lied to him about being purely human

His favorite thing to do is rub ointments and tinctures on your belly to help your skin. Loves to give you shoulder kisses while he does.

When he finds out you’re having a boy, he commissions tiny matching outfits. He doesn’t know if he wants to gush over the details or cry (”Barbatos, how inconceivably tiny! Isn’t it amusing?”)

Diavolo as a Dad (for real) :

Has to be given very explicit instructions about age-appropriate play because the minute the kid is crawling Diavolo’s going to want to play with him like a toddler.

Lets him teethe on old antique gold stuff that gives Mammon an aneurysm when he realizes what the kid’s doing (and how expensive the thing is in his hands).

Had a treasure chest-style bassinet comissioned because his kid is his treasure. One of the two--two and a half, with Barbatos--greatest treasures in his castle.

100% uses the kids to shirk his royal duties, but you and Barbatos keep him on a tight leash. Literally. He has a coupon allotment for the week (if you didn’t do the coupon thing he’d NEVER get any work done).

He LIVES for the skin-to-skin contact and is very disappointed when he has to put clothes back on for guests or meetings. He’s just doing what’s best for his son, okay?

That child is going to be spoiled AF. Always wanting to be held or next to his papa.

Diavolo isn’t allowed to do the chest carrier because he gets so excited about stuff he might sling the kid around on accident (Barbatos banned it after he held the baby through some paperwork and spent half the time playing with his feet).

Can never get over how tiny his son is, or how he can hold him in one hand. Somehow works it into every conversation.

Will work his kid into every conversation. Has pictures to go along with it.

His official Devilgram is 80% his kid or you (or both), 5% Barbatos, 5% other people, and 10% bad shots he doesn’t know how to delete.

Almost all of his Devilgram videos were taken by Barbatos because Diavolo absolutely loses it when the baby speaks gibberish. He dies laughing and just can’t hold it together. The video is just shaky and blurry otherwise.

You’d think every time he sees him is the first time because Diavolo is so smitten and amazed

The Little D’s of the castle are always giggling to themselves and racing to tell you that they caught Diavolo peppering kisses on his little baby forehead or fists.

He’s a really involved and happy dad. Childlike and joyful by nature, he’s super invested in his kid. Sometimes it’s like you have two, but Diavolo means well.

Decent at all reverse psychology ploys. Kid doesn’t want mommy’s affection? More for him! Kid’s not hungry? He’ll eat it, then (and the dessert that they totally can’t have now)!

Can’t really discipline. Feels too guilty. Threatens the child with Barbatos or you.

Is really surprised when the kid has a ‘mom day’ where it seems like he doesn’t exist but totally understands (”Your mom has that affect on me, too.”)

Hope you liked it :)

Ashara's baby. The whole thing seems so weird to me. What do you make of it?

This is probably gonna be unpopular and let me say this I’m okay to be wrong. So many people write theories and act like they can’t be wrong. I’m fine if I’m wrong. Also, I don’t give a single fuck what the show did. The show to me will never define all the canon. As Martin said when answering if it was the correct ending yes… no…. yes…no. Meaning yes some things were probably “plot points” but just because the show didn’t go into certain things doesn’t mean it won’t matter in the books. So please no “BUT THE SHOW” cause I don’t believe everything has been revealed at all.

I tend to think if Ashara’s baby is gonna pop up it will be Dany. I know a very very controversial opinion. But let’s look at Lemongate, which doesn’t prove Ashara but raises doubt on Dany’s parentage. Lemongate is undeniable, anyone who says otherwise is completely fooling themselves.

Martin confirmed it’s important:

Livejournal Question: “Dany remembers a lemon tree outside the house with the red door in Braavos, but citrus trees shouldn’t really grow in Braavos’s cold, foggy climate. Is this discrepency significant? Does it point to future revelations about Dany’s past? Thank you so much.”

Answer: “Very perceptive of you. Yes, it does point to … well, that would be telling.”

This means no matter what Lemongate matters. There is a reason Martin put it in the plot. Whether I am right or wrong doesn’t matter, Martin has confirmed it points to something. Something he will be revealing. So for anyone who claims Lemongate is nothing is wrong.

Rhaella and Aerys infertility. Rhaella had Rhaegar, 3 miscarriages, 2 stillborns, and 3 short live children. There is obvious fertile issues with them and she has all of these losses under the best medical care. But we’re supposed to believe Rhaella gave birth to a healthy living child, without a maester, after an incredibly stress war, the loss of almost her entire family, flight to Dragonstone, and the constant fear of being caught by Robert Baratheon.

Dany has violet eyes. People might not think this is important but it is. Viserys has lilac eyes and Rhaegar has indigo eyes. No keep in mind Martin is pretty much you get either “mom or dad’s traits.” recessive genes don’t seem to be a thing (the whole reason the “black of hair” nonsense drives some fans nuts). On top of that Dany is supposed to be the daughter of two generations worth of brother-sister marriages. These violet eyes are a mistake. Even Viserys points it out in Dany’s first chapter he makes her wear a purple dress to “bring out the purple in her eyes” Viserys is terrified she doesn’t look like a Targaryen Princess. But will get into that later. The only person in the timeline of Dany’s conception that had violet eyes was Ashara. Barristan Selmy even says Dany’s eyes remind him of Ashara.

Back to the Viserys point. He is terrified she doesn’t look enough like a Targaryen. The first chapter is him dressing her up and trying to convince himself that she looks enough like a Targaryen. It’s the eyes that are worrying him probably, they are wrong.

Viserys doesn’t speak High Valyrian but Dany does. When they speak with in front of the Dothraki they speak in The Common Tongue. We know Dany speaks High Valyrian, a language few would know where they were. So it seems like Viserys didn’t know High Valyrian.

Dany says she was born in the worst storm in Westerosi history. Not a single person has a memory of this storm, this storm that supposedly smashed the Targaryen fleet (leaving them defenseless) and made the stones at Dragonstone come down. This doesn’t make for many reasons. First Stannis has a naval battle at Dragonstone, Davos mentions that Stannis led the assault against Dragonstone which implies there was a battle. Furthermore, Dragonstone castle isn’t made out of stone, it’s made out of magically fused Valyrian stones. Dragonstone couldn’t crumble the way Dany said it did. On top of that Stannis, Davos, etc never mentions repairs made to Dragonstone.

Further disproving the “stormborn” Dany claims the storm happened in the summer during her birth. Which doesn’t make sense, we know that winter/autumn storms are in The Narrow Sea with the worst being winter.

Dany remembers Willem Darry as a “great grey bear” of a man and also that he died wasting away of sickness. He remembers Willem Darry never leaving his bed, and him walking with a cane. She remembers he had soft hands, but Willem Darry was a knight and master-of-arms. His hands would be rough.

Dany says she and Viserys were robbed when they left the house with the red door. Leaving them with nothing. But Dany also said that Viserys sold all there Targaryen treasures, including there mother’s crown. So the servants stole everything but just missed all that good Targaryen treasure?

Dany tells us they went from Dragonstone-Braavos- Myr-Tyrosh-Qohor-Volantis-Lys-Pentos. Just look at a map. Tell me how this makes sense. On top of that Dany specifically says she remembers the flight from Dragonstone to Braavos. Dany was an infant apparently, how would she remember it?

Dany says in her first chapter they lived in Pentos for 6 months, Illyrio says that the marriage between Drogo and Dany was “years in the making” and also mentions to Viserys not to ruin plans that have been in the works for “years”.

And finally, Lemon trees don’t grow in Braavos. The smoking gun, Dany remembering a Lemon Tree outside her window: here is the specific quote

“That was when they lived in Braavos, in the big house with the red door. Dany had her own room there, with a lemon tree outside her window”

Now many have claimed it’s possible that they lived with the Sea Lord and that the Sea Lord had a glasshouse similar to the Starks. Now that’s possible, but Dany doesn’t remember a glasshouse. She remembers a Lemon Tree outside her window. If you look at the Sea Lord’s Palace it doesn’t seem like the room Dany would be in would be close enough for her to see the Lemon Tree. Also in The Stark glasshouse, it’s interesting that Lemon Trees aren’t grown. Considering Ned Stark had a daughter who loved lemon cakes.

Lemon trees are most associated with Dorne. This has been repeated in the text a bunch of times. Similarly the idea that Braavos grows no lemon has also been mentioned. And as I mentioned in the first point Martin has said this issue will be brought up and revealed, and I’m sorry if I don’t believe Dany will have it revealed to her she once lived at a place with a glasshouse. I think it’s probably a little more.

Now all of this is evidence that Dany’s past doesn’t add up. There are questions about it. There are many theories about it, but if Ashara’s baby is going to be important I would suspect it’s because she’s Dany. Now many have speculated Ashara’s baby is Aegon, it’s possible but I think it’s important that we’re told that Ashara’s baby was a stillborn girl. Also Ned’s guilt over the decision to kill Dany. Also, The Daynes hold Ned in such high respect despite him killing Arthur. It’s very odd. I mean Edric Dayne is nicknamed Ned… which seems to be for Ned Stark. There is something going on with The Daynes, I’m sure of that. I mean Barristan says when he looks at Dany it’s like he’s looking at Ashara’s daughter. So I think if anyone’s gonna be revealed to be Ashara’s baby it will be Dany.

Now there are many baby daddies, Brandon, Ned, Aerys, Rhaegar… I still tend to think Dany is a Targaryen so I would throw out Brandon or Ned. I mean possible B+A=D, especially with the “looked to Stark” but idk I think Dany’s a Targaryen.

Aerys is interesting Daenerys Daen-erys Dayne-Aerys. Idk maybe the very name itself was meant to be a clue. Aerys was known to take mistresses, to be a rapist, etc. He was obsessed with Joanna Lannister for a while and Rhaella sent her away in order to protect her. It was said Aerys was interested in beautiful women and Ashara was supposedly the most beautiful of them all. Aerys would have had access to Ashara given she was his daughter in laws lady in waiting. Plus it was said someone “dishonored” Ashara at Harrenhall, Barristan claims. Who was known for dishonoring maidens? Aerys.

Rhaegar is also a strong case, Rhaegar again had access to Ashara. It makes more sense for him to fall for his wife’s lady in waiting then Lyanna a woman he just met. Dany has strong ties to Rhaegar in the books, he’s mentioned so much in relation to Dany. Rhaegar being Dany’s father would make sense. Again fits with the “dishonor” but I also argue it would fit with the “looked to Stark”. Let’s say Rhaegar and Ashara were having an affair, and then suddenly Lyanna showed up at Harrenhall and Rhaegar realized that only a child of “ice and fire” would be The Prince that was Promised. Is it possible Ashara took to the Starks in order to actively dishonor or humiliate them after being set aside for Lyanna? Again this is speculative but possible. We know she leaves Elia’s service soon after the birth of Aegon. It seems like she was set aside.

So that’s it… again don’t take this too seriously. I’m okay if I’m wrong. I’m not someone set in stone when it comes to ASOIAF theories. But I just think The Daynes do have a role to play.

An Odd Family Tree

A series of snippets from the lives of the FitzSimmons family, set post 7x13. Also, the series of events that lead up to the birth of their grandson.

Available to read on AO3 and FF.net.

Comments make my day!

Epilogue (1)

.Q.000000073.FS.M. D_01.15.1985_2153. STATUS:[Online] [communication_input]

“So, um, hi. It’s me. This is attempt seventy-three at getting this stupid thing to work, blah blah blah, etcetera. I, uh… miss you, wish you were here, all the usual stuff. Love you.”

“Maybe you should, perhaps, at least consider giving up? This is, as you said, the seventy-third attempt at a successful communication, and since it is taking up a considerable portion of your time-”

“No. No way. I’m not gonna give up now. I mean, you helped me build it! You’re seriously gonna let all that hard work go to waste?”

“That was not what I was implying. You could, instead, view the problem from a different angle.”

“Which angle, Enoch?! You think I haven’t done that already?! This stupid machine already has too many damn angles!”

“If you are counting the inner components then there are approximately-”

“Yeah, didn’t mean that literally buddy. But I guess you’re right. Like normal. Ugh... I kinda wish I’d properly thought about this before I- wait, did you hear that?”

“Hear what exactly?”

“D- there! That beeping noise. You heard that, right? I’m not just going insane?”

“I have noticed that you display multiple symptoms of psy-”

“Hold on, it’s still online!”

“Oh. It is.”

“It- It’s transmitting fine, recording smoothly, sound quality’s decent so remind me to fix that but… it’s working. It’s actually working!”

“Well done. But I do have to warn you that this technology should not exist on Earth in this time period.”

“Yeah yeah, whatever. Right, Enoch, I’m gonna need you to get out of here. This beautiful thing is finally working and I kinda wanna use it before it blows up or something.”

“Of course.”

“Uh… in private? Alone?”

“Oh, I understand. You wish to record your message alone. Without me. In that case, I will take your leave, Director Shaw.”

“See you, buddy. Right. Now I just gotta press thi-”

COMMUNICATION_TERMINATED_

~-.-~

.Q.000000074.FS.M. D_01.15.1985_2157. STATUS:[Online] [communication_input]

“Um… I… *ahem* This is a message for Leopold Fitz and Jemma Simmons. It’s a for-their-ears-only sort of thing, so if you’re not either of them then… uh… stop listening? No! Actually, if you’re not Leopold Fitz or Jemma Simmons, make sure this message gets to them. Please.”

“...I’m guessing this is Fitz or Simmons listening now. Hopefully both. Well, uh… it’s me! It’s Deke! I can’t believe I finally got this thing to work, haha. Uh… yeah.”

“So… you’re probably wondering what’s going on over here. SHIELD got blown up and- oh yeah, you guys were here for that. Or Nana was I think. It’s been a few years, I can’t remember exactly. Gotta adapt, y’know?”

“Speaking of! The second you guys left I might’ve accidentally become director of SHIELD. Which wasn’t my fault! I was nominated! Besides, I don’t know what was supposed to happen so…”

“Right, how am I sending this message. Funny story, actually. A few months after you guys left, Enoch turned up at my mansion and casually asked if he could murder me. Not our Enoch, by the way, this timeline’s Enoch. And he only wanted to kill me because he said I was this huge anomaly in the fabric of the universe and I could potentially doom humanity by just being here. Which sounds kind of dramatic, but nothing’s happened so far so I’m guessing we’re in the clear.”

“Basically, I managed to convince him that I was a good guy. I told him everything that happened and showed him my scars and everything to get him to believe me. And he did… eventually. He even helped me to build this quantum processor. Since this side is working now, I’m guessing it’ll work on the other end too. I’ve set it up to be like a mailbox that picks up anything that’s sent from the other end, so you won’t have to do the DNA-gene-splitting thing that I had to do to make sure it found you. You’re welcome.”

“It’s only audio for now. The 80s are great, but the technology sucks. And if we wanted to record video then I wouldn’t be able to buy supplies without getting asked about it. Equipment is expensive. Who knew. I’ll try and figure out at least how to send an image because I bet you’re missing my beautiful face.”

“That was the other thing: I miss you guys. It’s strange… I’ve spent most of my life on the Lighthouse and I knew a whole bunch of people there. Then when I came with you guys, sure it felt weird with them not being there, but I never really missed them. Probably because they came from that place.”

“But I miss you every day. Literally, every single day. And I love you. People look up to me here, but I don’t exactly have any family. I’ve got the Deke Squad, I guess, but they’re a different type of family. Not like you two.”

“So um, please send something back whenever you get this. I’ve set it so whenever you send something back, it’ll arrive here straight after I send the message you last listened to. I feel like I’m a time travel master now.”

“So I guess I’ll just… wait here. For your reply. Or just any sort of confirmation that you got this message. I’ll try and send you both a message at least once a week but it’d be great to get something back. I’m looking forward to hearing your voices.”

“Hey Nana and Bobo, it’s me again. Here’s the thing- it’s been a month. It’s been a whole month which is making me think that it’s something on my end. I’ll try and find the problem and fix it since I’d hate for your messages to get lost in that weird void between me and you.”

“But, if I’m gonna be honest, I realised that I don’t actually have any way of knowing if you guys made it back or not. Heck, I don’t even know if you managed to stop the chronicoms. And since I thought of that, I really can’t stop thinking about it, and it would really help if you could just let me know. Doesn’t have to be a whole message, just a yes or a no would do. You could even shout at me and I’d celebrate.”

“Seriously, if you’re all dead then… then I’m the only one alive. Again. I know I’m like 40 years behind you anyway, but it feels like the Lighthouse all over again! I got brought back from that and I felt like I’d cheated the system. Like- Like I didn’t belong, and I got out fine while everyone else stayed there and still had to suffer whatever’s going on up there. And this time I cheated because I’m the one who offered to stay behind and so I’m alive again while you’re all dead. I should’ve let Sousa do it, at least then I could’ve died with you.”

But it means a lot to me, and I’m pretty sure you were a fan of Pegs or something? Yeah, I’m pretty sure.”

“Anyway, so, we went to this party and she said that since SHIELD is safe enough to be publicly known again I’d need to meet some guy that would help with finances. So we’re at this party, and Pegs takes me up to meet the guy. I promise, all I did was introduce myself (I was actually trying really hard to be serious and polite) and I asked his name and Peggy lost it. She literally almost fell onto the floor, she was laughing that hard. Yup, you heard me right. Peggy Carter. Laughing.”

“The guy, Harry I think his name was? No, Howard. Yeah, Howard was his name. So this Howard guy looks super offended and asked me if I knew who he was, and I said no because I honestly didn’t, and then Pegs offered to buy me a drink. I know! And she didn’t even yell at me for calling her Pegs!”

“So yeah, that happened. Since then she’s been smiling at me? I don’t know what I did, so I thought I’d throw it to you two to see if you had any ideas. You can boast to your friends that your grandson charmed over the great Peggy Carter.”

“Ever since they made me director of SHIELD, I feel like I’ve been faking my way through it.

One Piece Theory [Spoilers]

No seriously, I mean SPOILERS. Big ones referring to the latest chapter 967. So if you have not read it yet, or haven’t gotten to Wano in general yet, you might want to sit this post out unless you're like me and actually enjoy spoilers. But this is also more on the “crack theory” side of things, so those who DO read don’t take what I say too seriously.

Due to the recent chapter 967 of One Piece, some stuff came to my mind that I've been thinking about for a while. Now this could ALL be entirely off, like, laughable in that regard. But at the same time my brain keeps chanting "but whAT IF THOUGH??" and because of that, there are a few things I want to lay down here before I get to the conclusion I have almost unwillingly come to.

So first, a few things about the series that we know: a group of people in the early life of the Earth went up to the moon, these people lived on the moon until they ran out of resources, and then they settled down into Birka, Skypeia, and Jaya, where Jaya has Shandora founded on it. After building these places up, they became thriving locations during the void century. Sometime around there, ALSO during the void century, the Great Kingdom came to be.

Here are where things get even more vague, and any connections made here on out are undoubtedly a stretch of some form. Basically, after looking through the One Piece timeline and some theories going around, I found it very strange that apparently, Shandora and the Great Kingdom were taken down at around the same time. Not only that, but after the Alliance was formed to take down the Great Kingdom, the Alliance had also taken down Shandora with the Great Kingdom. This could be because Shandora and the Great Kingdom became allies, or this could be because Shandora WAS the Great Kingdom (which is unlikely for a couple of reasons). Or at least a part of it somehow. It's been generally accepted that Raftel/Laugh Tale is the remains of the Great Kingdom, but we also were reminded in chapter 967 that Roger was the one who had named the island that. We find out that he did so after reading Joy Boy's story (or some similar process).

Now, Joy Boy played a HUGE part in the creation and distribution of the poneglyphs. It's pretty safe to say even that he had a huge connection to the Great Kingdom itself. This would further cement Raftel ALSO having that huge connection, and likely being where the Great Kingdom once stood in general.

We also have yet to find out where Shandora, the original, once stood. A while ago, I had heard Tekking make a good point about the fact that Doctor Clover from Ohara had to be silenced when he was about to speak the Great Kingdom's true name for a reason. If the World Government didn't want the name of the kingdom to be spoken, it must've been because the name would be recognizable, right? If it was a name COMPLETELY wiped from history, to the point where no one would know about it anymore, then hearing the name wouldn't exactly shock anyone or raise controversy. Therefore, it would make the MOST sense for the name of the Great Kingdom to have had a name that people would mostly recognize.

This would mean that Shandora, or even Jaya for that matter don't seem like they would be candidates for having been the Great Kingdom since their names aren't that well known. On top of which, as far as we know, even the original Shandora would have been rather far from Raftel since it was founded on Jaya. So until more information is given, Shandora and the Great Kingdom at the very LEAST had to have been close allies for the Alliance to want to destroy them both. Them being the same kingdom in general is still possible, but not necessary for the question I want to pose.

So, after Shandora was destroyed, the Shandorians fled and made a new Shandora which was eventually shot up into the sky by the knock up stream, ultimately banging the gavel on Noland's fate. Years have passed, and it looks like all of the moon people who have either began living in the sky islands directly after coming back to earth, or later came to the sky islands via the knock up stream, all have kept their wings. However, despite the moon people having also settled on Jaya, not a single person there is mentioned to have wings. Sounds to me like it was a thing that simply ended up going away for the moon folk on the ground through evolution and the gene pools mixing. That said, any moon folk whose descendants grew up on the ground eventually evolved to not have wings anymore.

That opens a whole new can of worms for Eneru, who I will be questioning thoroughly later. But for now, I want to move on to the Will of D. Those that bear the initial D are said to be natural enemies of god, of the celestial dragons, and by extension, the world government. It sounds like something that would certainly come about if the ancestors of those who bear that initial had originally come together during the great war of the void century and became enemies of the alliance. I don't think everyone who bears that initial is blood related or anything. More like, during the void century, a group of people might have gotten together and formed a clan, claiming that initial for them for some reason, and declaring their opposition against the alliance.

We don't exactly KNOW how many allies the Great Kingdom had, or who they all were. All we really know, is that Shandora and the Great Kingdom had a huge connection of some sort, and that the Celestial Dragons hate the "Will of D" which basically implicates their bloodlines having their OWN connections to the Great Kingdom as well. So many thoughts have swirled through my head over this since the recent chapter, and these just had to be the first ones I write down.

Okay, now that I have all of this context explained, it's time for the confession. All of this was just a very long-winded way of asking: Wouldn't it be great if the D people are Moon People? I want the D people to be descendants of the moon people.

By extension, once again, this makes me EXTREMELY suspicious of Wingless, Scarless Eneru, especially given that he has been on the moon for a while now doing god (so, him) knows WHAT with all of the information he has at his disposal. So, in the words of one of my greatest friends: "ENEL, WHAT IS YOUR FULL NAME YOUNG MAN"

I have a few more thoughts and more serious theories I’d like to iron out as well, but I’ll see what I do with them after this.

Congrats on 500 followers! :D For a prompt, oh boy... I think I'll go with 'Slade is the strongest gladiator in the arena, so it's only right the gamemakers should want to see his genes passed along to the next generation of fighters. That's where Jason, an omega specially selected from the al Ghul's harem for the task, comes in.' SladeJay A/B/O, as you can probably guess. Make it as nice or as terrible as you want ;)

Soooooooo….

In case you couldn’t tell, I loved this idea.

I’m not going to attach the whole fic because it clocks in at +7k and that feels like a little much for a Tumblr post :D

But here it is:

Fortune Favors the Bold - Read on AO3!

Rating: ExplicitWarnings: Non-con, a/b/oWords: 7180

EXCERPT:

————————————————————————

Slade thinks the invitations are unnecessary.

A breeder is a breeder. It’s the sire that matters and hedoesn’t see any reason to make a fuss about carrying on his line.

He is used to the fine trappings of wealth as he skirts theedges of the room like a big cat keeping an eye on its prey. The silks and goldand gems have been perks of being the best, almost since the beginning for him.Never losing a fight in the Colosseum gave him the grandest life an owned mancan ask for. He likes fighting, that rush of adrenaline, the way strategy andinstinct come together, the skill required. And he likes the luxuries that thatskill affords him.

He could have escaped ages ago, but he way he figures,everything is a fight. Might as well be here with adoring crowds

“See anything to your liking?”

Slade takes the cup of wine his owner holds out to him witha perfunctory bow of his head. Just enough deference to meet the expectationsof anyone watching. Vandal gives him a lot of slack on his lead, even more inthe day to day operations where they’ve become almost friendly, but he stillexpects Slade to behave like the slave he is when they have company.

And right now, they have a lot of company.

Littered around the room are groups of richly attired peoplestanding or sitting on piles of cushions and low chaises, eating and drinkingmerrily. Serving slaves move through the crowd, in their simple undyed tunics,carrying trays of finger foods and pitchers of wine and ale.

But that’s not what Vandal is asking about.

Slade’s gaze drifts back to the slightly raised dais in themiddle of the room. Barely-there curtains of translucent gauzy fabric separatethe soft, plush creatures on offer from the rest of the crowd.

Omegas. Not just any omegas. These are bred and trained tobe ideal pleasure slaves by the great houses and neighboring kingdoms. They’remeant to be sold or gifted to nobles and kings and princes.

They’re probably not the grandest quality options available,everyone invited knew who and what the omega is for. But the current ownersmilling about are still trying to earn favor with the Emperor and there is nosmall amount of prestige offered by Slade’s domination in the gladiatorialgames. And pleasure slaves for breeding are already a luxury item. So, theomegas are absolutely better than anything Slade would have gotten, even as afree man.

From what he can see, they’re all pretty, delicate things withdecorative gold chains dripping from their wrists and necks, precious stonesand feathers woven into their hair, lips bright with rouge, eyes smoky withkohl.

“A womb is a womb,” Slade responds with a shrug. “Can’t seewhy you’d go to all this trouble just for me.”

Vandal snorts and takes a sip of his wine.

“I wouldn’t. Not just for you anyway.” He claps a giant handon Slade’s equally giant shoulder and nods at the see of aristocrats. “I like towatch them grovel. Scramble to earn my favor.”

“Of course you do.”

He keeps his voice low. It wouldn’t due for someone tooverhear him speaking to the emperor as though they were peers.

“Besides,” Vandal continues conspiratorially. “Who saysyou’re the only one who will benefit?”

This time Slade snorts. “You expect me to share my mate?”

He’s joking. Nothing that is his is really his. He,and everything in his possession, belongs to Vandal Savage. Slade neverexpected any mate or slave he might be given to be any different.

Which is probably the reason Vandal just raises his brows,amused smile playing on his lips.

“So none of them have caught your eye, hm?”

“No. They’re all just slightly different versions of eachother. I’m sure one will be as good as the next.”

Vandal frowns at that. “We are trying to replace you, Slade.You might be invincible but you’re not immortal. I want you around to trainwhatever you spawn. So, the most important thing is that you don’t find itdifficult to perform. After that, if you don’t like the bitch, we’ll just bringit out when it’s in heat. After all, I find them all quite pleasing. They canwarm my bed in the interim.”

They both take dignified sips of their wine and Slade findshimself scanning the omegas again. They’re all slim, attractive boys and girlsa third his age. Which suits him fine, he guesses. The youthful part. He’salways been partial to youthful beauty and he certainly doesn’t want a crusty,used up omega his own age.

But otherwise they’re just more of the same kind ofbeautiful omegas flitting around the court already.

He’ll perform fine. Physically there isn’t a singleobjectionable thing about any of them. And Slade doesn’t have the time orprivacy to get to know them beyond their pleasing appearances.

“Any will be fine,” he says. “Pick the one you like best.”

With another quick glance around the room, Slade angles hisbody away from the crowd and speaks softly enough he is certain only theemperor can hear him.

“Where’s the Demon? Thought you two had other matters todiscuss and were using this as a way to meet without drawing unwantedattention.”

They both look up to briefly eye the representative fromGotham, making sure he is still on the other side of the room. They didn’t comewith a tribute, of course. Gotham doesn’t trade in slaves. But they’re a majorneighboring kingdom and relations are… constantly strained. So they keepambassadors at all times.

“Late,” Vandal mutters without moving his lips. “Ran intotrouble on the road. Should be here any min—oh… I guess he’s arrived.”

The emperor nods in the direction of the ambassador, whofinds himself being approached by what Slade knows to be his favorite omega playmatein the capitol. One of the courtesans kept on staff for people with principlesthat don’t allow for the use of slaves.

Slade watches as the first prince of Gotham is tugged awaywith a playful grin on his face. The kid is pretty for an alpha but reeks ofthat competing dominance in a way that even Vandal doesn’t. Slade liked thefirst ambassador better. The second son, whose scent was earthy and fresh undera spicy cologne he always wore. Easily the the best smelling alpha Slade hadever met. Considering Slade’s preferences, he had always tried to place himselfin the prince’s path.

Pity the kid went got himself killed.

It made a lot more sense on a purely political level, tohave the second son act as a liaison. It’s a risk under the best ofcircumstances, to send the heir to another kingdom. The bad odds go up when thefate of the younger brother is taken into account, and then plummet with thefact that the two kingdoms are so ideologically different and could feasibly beat war with each other any moment.

Slade guesses that’s why he’s here. That Prince Richard isplaying a dangerous game and investigating what happened to his brother.

If he’s not careful, Gotham will be down to its final heir.

“Ra’s asked that we… distract Gotham when he arrived.Tiger was watching for their convoy with orders to tempt the prince somewheremore private when they finally showed.”

“Why?” Slade asks, narrowing his eyes as the main doorsswing open and Ra’s al Ghul is announced. “It’s not like he’s leaving. Seemslike a temporary solution.”

“I don’t know. Ra’s was light on the details. But I do lovea good conspiracy against Gotham, especially the minor ones that they can’treally do anything about. And the Demon assures me that by the end of theevening it won’t matter. One way or the other.”

“That is… too vague. Do you trust him that much?”

Ra’s al Ghul, the Demon’s Head, strides into the room, asingle large manservant on his heels dragging a chained omega.

“Not nearly as much as I trust you,” Vandal rumbles low againsthis ear before striding off to meet the new arrivals.

Slade follows at a respectful distance, keeping his eyes andears open while feigning disinterest. Since it’s what’s expected of him, hefocuses on the omega.

The omega, presumably the one being offered, is otherwisedressed much like the ones lounging on the dais. Only his sheer green skirtsare held up with a belt of leather and gold instead of another length of silk pinnedtogether with gems. And, although he wears golden bangles around his wrists andankles and golden serpents around his muscular biceps, the heavy steel chainsthat keep his limbs bound too close together to be any trouble are veryobviously not decorative. The leather and gold collar at his throat isattached to his wrists by even more real chains where the other omegas wearcollars of lace or fine golden weaves. And none of the other omegas are wearinga muzzle across the lower portion of their face, even if it is coveredin glinting rubies.

The boy is young, just like the others, but big for anomega. Where the others are soft curves, this one is sharp muscle. He issmaller than the Alphas in the room, but he dwarfs the other omegas on offer. Hiseyes are bright aquamarine, with bursts of gold around the pupil and flecks ofvivid green throughout.

They’re angry and indignant and they are eerily familiar,even if Slade can’t immediately place them.

He subtly scents the air around the kid, already wrinklinghis nose in anticipation of the sweet, floral scents of most omegas. Only to bepleasantly surprised to find that he smells like a forest after a storm.Something tugs at his memory there too.

Despite himself, he finds that this one has absolutelycaught his eye. To the point where he’s missed the conversation between hismaster and the Demon until his name is spoken.

“Apologies, Master,” he says, only because everyone iswatching. “I was… distracted.”

Ra’s grins at his statement, the white points of his teethvisible, like he’s won some great argument.

Meanwhile, Vandal frowns at the omega.

“I said you wouldn’t be interested in an untrained omegaslave,” Vandal clarifies, narrowing his eyes at Ra’s. “If I didn’t know youbetter, I’d consider this an insult.”

“But you do know me better,” Ra’s answers easily with anunconcerned wave of a ringed hand. “You know I have the best harems andtraining in the known kingdoms. And you know I have an uncanny ability to matchhigh value slaves with the proper Alphas. Perhaps we can speak more privately?”

“What exactly is high value about a feral, beast of anomega?” Vandal hisses as the crowd presses closer.

A Love In The Midst Of Chaos (I)

Hello! This is a brand new series I started for Sirius :D I’m really excited about it and I hope you like it <3

Gif not mine

Part 1: Surprise!

Warnings: language; mentions of blood, violence and death

Word count: 5,529

********

You were gone. He knew that. But his love for you remained. Restrained deep down his heart, but still there. What hurt him more wasn’t the distance. What hurt him more was the fact that you were gone without knowing about the feelings he cultivated for you since your third year in Hogwarts. You left so unaware of all the emotions you made him feel every time you spoke to him. It was unfair. So unfair. He never demonstrated his true feelings because he always thought he would have time. He always thought ‘not now’, always afraid of your response. And now it was too late.

However, it wasn’t actually his fault. He would never think you were planning to move to America, to be the assistant of a teacher in Ilvermorny. He knew you wanted to be a teacher one day though. All those study sessions late in the night in which you helped him understand a subject. You were so good at that, no one could deny it. You saved him so many times.

But you were gone. You were there pursuing your dream while he pursued his. So far away, an ocean apart. The letters always taking so long to arrive, your absence being more evident every day, him missing you more every day, his routine being way less interesting, way less meaningful.

Although, when he started to work as an Auror and was surrounded by his closest friends and meeting new people all the time, everything began to be more colorful again. He had motivation, he had company, he had distraction. The things were slowly going back to normal.

But one day, one specific letter from you had made him weak again.

Hi, Sirius! How are you and the others? I hope everything is alright.

I was thinking of you today. I met a quite funny student, if you know what I mean. He’s pretty famous around here, all the teachers talk about him like he is their worst nightmare. Well, maybe he is. He has two friends and the three of them are inseparable. The thing is: they are ALWAYS pulling pranks on someone or joking during class. They remind me of one or two boys that studied with me back in school. Maybe you’re familiar with them as well?

Jokes aside, I miss my friend. Please write and tell me everything about the Auror life! I’m really curious.

Love, Y/N.

He had read the whole thing with the biggest smile and had hoped those boys would stay in Ilvermony for a long time, so you would think about him more often. He hadn’t hesitated to write a response for you.

But now, your letters were taking longer to arrive. And when they did, they were shorter than they used to be. He realized you were living the present, while part of him was still attached to the past. You were gone, after all. Of course it wouldn’t be the same. Of course eventually you two would grow apart. He just didn’t really think about it.

And then Marlene showed up. She was Lily’s friend and never really talked to the boys, but since she was working with them now, she got closer to Sirius. She was so much fun! A really nice person to be around, a good friend to have by your side. That was what he thought until she revealed she used to have a crush on him when they studied together. ‘Even though you never really noticed me’, in her very own words. That was true. He was too distracted by you to notice any other girl, to be honest. But he would never tell her that. In fact, after her confession, he started looking at her with different eyes. He started noticing how pretty she was, how smart she was, how they got along so well. He had to move on one day! Why not now?

He felt guilty for some reason. He was holding on those feelings for so long that now he was afraid to let it go. But he had to, right? You were gone.

The day James came to him and asked him to be his best man, he wasn’t surprised at all. And he couldn’t stop bragging to Remus and Peter, who didn’t care, they weren’t surprised either. But when the thought hit him, he felt the dead butterflies in his stomach come back to life: it was James and Lily’s wedding, you would be there! All those feelings and all those emotions were brought back to his mind and heart. He was going to see you. After two years apart, he was going to see you.

Suddenly, his outfit wasn’t good enough, his speech wasn’t good enough, his hair wasn’t- well, his hair was perfect. But everything else wasn’t good enough. He bought another suit, another pair of shoes and started to rewrite his speech. He wanted it to be perfect. He was going to see you.

When he finally finished his speech, he asked Remus to read it to say if it was good. His friend approved his work and he excitedly started to talk about the wedding and the guests, in order to get to a specific person. But when Remus gave him the news, his heart was crushed into thousands of little pieces.

“It’s in the middle of the school year. She can’t leave work,” said the young man in front of him.

“So she won’t come,” Sirius concluded.

“No,” Remus shook his head, “She’s terribly sorry, but there’s nothing she can do.”

Sirius nodded, truly understanding your situation. But that was it. You were gone for sure. You had your own appointments and obligations, all very different from his. He felt stupid. He felt… angry. But not at you. At himself. He was angry at himself for acting like a teenager, making plans in his head, living impossible scenarios in his head. You were gone, for Merlin’s sake! And he had to move on.

That same day, he asked Marlene to be his date at the wedding. It wasn’t going to be a big party, but he was going to enjoy it like it was.

He was trying. No one could say otherwise. Well, no one could say otherwise also because no one knew. Sirius never shared it with anyone, not even James. One day he considered telling Lily, since she was much more down-to-earth than his best friend. But he remembered she was your friend and could easily tell you. He couldn’t risk it. As a result, he fought that war alone.

James and Lily’s wedding was a ceremony for just a few friends and family. It was so beautiful that Sirius got really close to crying. Later, at the party, his speech went great and everyone applauded him. He couldn’t have been more proud of himself. It was a perfect night. Marlene was an amazing girl with a happy energy that lit up the mood of anyone around her. And he felt thankful when she moved closer to him during a dance and kissed him. He felt thankful because she was helping him move on without even knowing. Sure, you had crossed his mind during the night and he wished you were there, but Marlene was great and he was going to enjoy his moment with her. He was going to let her take over his mind and heart. He wanted to forget you.

Sirius knew it wasn’t right nor fair to use Marlene for that, but, well, ‘use’ wasn’t quite the word for it. He was allowing himself to like another girl and was allowing Marlene to be that girl. He was starting to get rid of the guilt he felt for years now. Was it wrong? He hoped not.

Months after the wedding, he was told about Lily’s pregnancy and asked to be the baby’s godfather. That surprised him for sure.

When baby Harry arrived, Sirius caught himself feeling like a daddy. He was so protective towards that tiny little human being. But could anyone blame him? Harry looked so fragile.

“He’s going to be a great quidditch player,” James said with a proud smile on his face.

“How can you know, Prongs?” Sirius asked with a chuckle, holding Harry in his arms.

“I’m his father. It’s on his genes,” James’ smile widened.

“Poor baby,” Sirius heard Remus from the couch, but he was also smiling.

About three weeks after Harry was born, Sirius was going to the Potters’ for his almost-daily visit. As usual, when he got there, he opened the door without knocking, since the protection spell allowed him to do so. But he stopped at the door frame, still holding the doorknob and with his lips slightly parted as he saw you sitting on the couch with Harry in your arms. When you looked up to him, his heart dropped to his stomach. You smiled brightly, not hiding your happiness for seeing him again after almost three years.

“Sirius!” you said excitedly.

He didn’t say anything, too shocked to speak. Slowly, he let go of the door and closed it behind him. He walked towards the couch, but stopped half-way.

“Hey,” he said from a distance he considered safe.

“Hi,” you smiled again.

“What are you doing here?” Sirius managed to ask the question that popped up on his mind the second he saw you.

“I came to meet Harry,” you tilted your head in confusion.

He nodded slowly.

“There are also other reasons, but I’ll get to them when Lily comes back from showering,” you said before looking down at Harry, “He’s so tiny.”

“Yeah,” Sirius agreed, but his mind was working on full speed.

He sat next to you on the couch, leaving a space between you two. He felt his heart race get faster when he heard you giggle after Harry yawned.

“Are you tired, baby boy?” you spoke softly, “You should be indeed. Life is so hard for you.”

Sirius could see your innocent smile and he realized he was smiling as well.

“Sleeping all day takes a lot of effort,” you said in a fake serious tone.

He started analyzing you, searching for differences since the last time he saw you. But there were none. You were still the same girl he fell in love with. It didn’t look like you were two years older. Your face was the same, your hair was the same, your voice was the same, your delicate way of speaking and moving was the same. You were there. Inches apart. He noticed how your hair fell on your shoulders just like they did before you went away. He noticed there were a few hair strands on your face and he resisted the urge to put them behind your ear. Your lips moved but he didn’t hear a sound. They looked so soft, they almost begged to be touched.

“Sirius,” you said a bit loud.

“What?” he asked taken aback.

“Did you hear what I said?” you spoke through an amused smile.

“No,” he answered truthfully.

“I asked you if you can believe that our friends just had a baby. I mean, it feels like it was yesterday that we were all shocked to see them actually talking to each other, after years of Lily turning James down.”

“Well, if someone had told me back then, I wouldn’t have believed it,” Sirius admitted.

“Me neither,” you shook your head, “Do you wanna hold him?”

The man nodded.

You turned your body towards Sirius and slowly gave Harry to him. His heart started pounding when he felt your arm touching his. He got nervous. How was he allowing himself to feel those things? What about Marlene? It wasn’t fair to her. Or to him, actually. He had finally moved on, why did you have to show up now?

“Oh! You’re here,” Lily smiled at him as soon as she entered the room, “Um… Surprise!”

“You knew Y/N was coming?” he asked.

“No,” she shrugged, “But I want you to be surprised.”

“I definitely am,” he sighed quietly. And you noticed. You frowned to yourself, not quite sure but it seemed to you that Sirius wasn’t happy with your arrival.

“Where’s James?” you questioned, kind of trying to change your focus from that thought.

“He went out for a little shopping. But you can start explaining now. He’ll catch up later,” Lily said.

“Okay… I’m going straight to the point: I’m back. For good,” you announced and Lily got apprehensive while Sirius didn’t change his expression at all. Both reactions made you upset.

“Why?” she asked concerned.

“Why?! Well, Dumbledore asked me to join the Order,” you told them, “I explained to him that I couldn’t afford to move back, but… he offered me a job in Hogwarts, since I’m finally old enough to teach there. Still, I have nowhere to stay, my parents live across the country. So... I wondered if I could stay here until I find a home to myself,” you looked at Lily.

“Of course you can stay here, but that’s insane,” she started pacing, “You would be way safer in America than here.”

“But the whole focus of the war is here! I don’t want to hide,” you stood up from the couch and approached her, holding her hands tightly, “I want to fight, Lily.”

“I know, Y/N. It’s just… scary. And to know that at least one of my friends would be safe was comforting,” she confessed.

“Lily is right,” Sirius finally spoke, “You should have stayed there.”

“And do what exactly?” you turned to him, “Read the news and lament the deaths? Wake up every day and just hope that my friends and family would be okay?”

He didn’t say anything and stared at the ground.

“I thought you two would be happy that I’m back,” you switched your gaze from one to another.

“I am happy that you’re here!” Lily reached for your hands again, “I just wish it was under better circumstances.”

“Yeah, me too,” you heard Sirius from behind you.

“I’m not loving the circumstances either, but... I’m really, really happy to be back. Ilvermorny is great, don’t get me wrong, but the people there didn’t quite like me.”

“What do you mean?” Lily asked.

“I was the youngest there, I think that affected the way I was seen. They cared more about my age than my skills. The teacher that I worked with didn’t trust me. I was really underestimated,” you sighed.

“They’re really stupid then,” the words came out from Sirius’ mouth before he could refrain them, “You’re one of the smartest people I’ve ever met.”

“Thank you,” you smiled softly at him, “That means a lot after nearly three years of ‘let the grown ups talk’.”

“What?! They used to say that?” Lily’s eyes were burning with anger. You slowly nodded your head, “What a bunch of assholes.”

You chuckled.

“But they were really intelligent assholes,” you admitted, “I hope I’ll be a teacher as good as them.”

Baby Harry started crying, stretching his little arms and legs.

“Diaper duty,” Lily explained, “I’ll be right back.”

She took Harry from Sirius’ arms and went upstairs, leaving you and him completely alone in the living room.

“So...” you began, sitting on the couch again, “What’s up?”

“Oh, you know... A war.”

“You know what I meant,” you rolled your eyes, “How’s everything?”

“Honestly? Nothing has changed. Except for the fact that James and Lily are now married and have a baby.”

“Nothing else, really?”

“No, why?”

“I don’t know. Things seem... different.”

Sirius looked away, too scared of revealing his emotions through his eyes.

“How are you?” you asked.

“Fine...” he replied, still not looking at you.

“Are you sure?”

“Yes. I’m sure,” he lied, “What about you?”

“I’m okay, I guess,” you sighed, “Despite everything.”

“Yeah...”

He thought about it for a few seconds. Well, he had to move on. He had to.

“Do you remember Marlene?” he looked at you.

“Marlene McKinnon?” you asked and he nodded, “I do. Why?”

“We... um... you know.”

“Oh... Oh! Yeah, yeah. Sure.”

Wait. Did you just stutter?

“She’s nice,” he said, looking away again. His heart racing, his mind completely disoriented. Was he doing the right thing? And why were you nervous? Why had you stuttered?

“She is,” you agreed, looking at your lap.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“I am so sorry, Y/N,” Lily put her hand on your shoulder, “I didn’t know how to tell you.”

“It’s okay,” you tried to reassure her, “I’ve been away for almost three years. What did I expect? That he would magically fall in love with me and wait for me to come back?”

You laughed in disdain and wiped your tear with the white napkin Lily had given you. The two of you were sitting on her couch, Sirius had just left and James was looking after Harry upstairs.

“Marlene is a really nice girl,” you added, “I’m happy for them.”

“I’m glad this is how you decided to deal with it. You know she’s my friend too. I love you, but I wouldn’t accept it if you said bad things about her.”

“Why would I? It’s not her fault I’m stupid.”

“You’re not stupid, babe. You’re just… dummy,” Lily joked and you finally giggled for real.

“Thanks for putting up with my shit. You’re the best friend anyone could ever dream of having.”

“Aw, stop,” she slightly pushed you.

“Now I should be going. I’ve heard Dumbledore has a mission for me in two days. I have to meet him.”

“Well… For as much as I don’t like having you involved in this terrible thing, good luck out there.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll be fine,” you smiled and gave her a quick hug.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The mission. Dumbledore needed you to follow a man that could possibly be a Death Eater spying on the muggleborns in Hogsmeade.

It had to be you, since you weren’t known by any of the Death Eaters, like other members of the Order, who could easily be identified.

The Hog’s Head pub was almost completely empty when you walked in. There were two men sitting together at a distant table, the bartender, you and no one else. You already expected that. Who would want to go out during a war? You knew for sure those two men weren’t out there having fun, but none of them was your guy.

You chose a table close to the bar and sat down. You weren’t going to drink anything, you couldn’t get distracted.

It was ten pm. You knew the guy would show up every night at ten thirty to have his daily dose of Firewhiskey. Then he would leave the pub and follow lonely wizards and witches to find out if they were muggleborns or blood traitors. If they were, he would kill them.

That’s why Lily was so worried. She knew the danger of that mission and how bad the consequences would be if you got caught. Little did you know that at the exact moment you sat at the table, Lily was pacing around in her house, not able to sleep and not letting James sleep either. Sirius and Marlene were there as well.

“Calm down. She’s a smart girl,” James tried to reassure his wife.

“I know, James. But you know what they’re capable of. Oh God, I just want her to come home soon,” Lily winced.

“I still think it was too soon. Dumbledore should’ve waited before sending Y/N to a mission. He should have given her some time to train,” Sirius protested, “Too soon...”

Marlene didn’t say anything as she didn’t feel she had the right to do so. She didn’t really know you, so she couldn’t give her opinion on the matter without being unfair at some point. But she surely could try to calm Sirius down.

“Everything is going to be okay,” she reached for his hand. However, he moved it away and stood up from the couch.

“How can you know?” he replied in a cold tone and went to the kitchen, leaving a hurt and slightly confused Marlene behind.

The pub’s door was opened, creaking loudly. You discretely looked over to your side, trying your best not to be too obvious as you recognized the man as your target.

He walked up to the bar and ordered his Firewhiskey. You stayed at your table, not moving one muscle, your breathing more difficult each second, and tried to listen to his conversation with the bartender.

“Has anyone come here looking for me?”

The bartender simply shook his head.

“You better be telling the truth,” your target warned, “You know what happens to blood traitors.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Yes, you do.”

The two men stared at each other with tense expressions.

“Keep the change,” the suspect said after downing his shot, and threw a couple of galleons on the balcony. Too much money for a shot of Firewhiskey...

When he stood up from the stool and started heading towards the exit, you stood up as well and followed his track. The bartender was too intrigued by the money to notice your action.

Outside, the dark sky had a big full moon right above you. Instantly you thought of your friend Remus and how he must have been suffering at that moment. But you couldn’t get distracted, not even by that, so you shrugged those thoughts off and began to walk behind the man, keeping a safe distance.

You walked for one hour and he still hadn’t done anything suspicious. He would only look over to the people passing by and follow them with his eyes. That was creepy, yes. But not enough action for you to be sure he was a Death Eater.

Suddenly, during one of your walks, you lost sight of him. You hadn’t realized you had followed him to a darker part of Hogsmeade. None of the lights seemed to work there. You felt scared. Should you go back? Should you give up?

“You need to find out where he’s staying at.”

That was hard, Dumbledore! The man was really terrifying and now he was nowhere to be seen.

You couldn’t risk it. You had to go bac-

“Who are you?” you heard a deep voice behind your ear and felt the tip of a wand touching the small of your back, “Why are you following me?”

“I’m not following you,” you lied, “I’m lost.”

“Liar… Who sent you?”

“No one,” you tried to reply calmly, “I told you, I got lost.”

“Aw, poor thing,” the man turned you around and strongly pressed the tip of his wand against your neck, hurting you, “I’m gonna ask again and this time you’ll tell the truth. Who sent you?”

“Stupefy,” you whispered.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Lily, James and Marlene were sitting on the couch in silence. James’ arms around Lily, both of them worried about their friend’s safety. They didn’t want to admit, but Sirius was right. It was too soon to send you in a mission, even an ‘easy’ one.

Sirius was still in the kitchen. He sat at the table with a glass of water, trying to calm down and think straight. You didn’t have training, yes. But that didn’t mean you couldn’t handle a conflict. You were really smart and always got good grades in Defense Against the Dark Arts. That meant you were prepared… Right?

Back in the living room, Marlene felt she shouldn’t be there. It wasn’t nice the way Sirius was treating her ever since he found out about your mission and she didn’t understand why.

“Do you guys need help with Harry tonight?” she asked her friends.

“No, he’s asleep right now and I think he won’t wake until the morning,” Lily replied.

“He’s been really quiet the entire day,” James added, “I think he noticed it’s not a good day for us and is taking easy. Such a good boy.”

Lily chuckled.

“He’s not a dog, James,” she poked him on the rib.

Marlene smiled at her two friends. She was happy that they were happy, despite everything that was going on.

Suddenly, the three young adults flinched as they heard really heavy knocks on the door.

Lily and James exchanged a look and the latter stood up to approach the door.

“Who is it?” he asked frowning.

“Us! Hurry up!” Dorcas answered.

As soon as James opened the door, Dorcas and Alice went inside holding you between them. You were bleeding.

“Oh my God!” Lily covered her mouth, but ran to the bathroom to get her first aid kit.

“What happened?” James asked as he helped the girls place you carefully on the couch. Marlene stood up to give them space.

Sirius came in the living room running. When he saw you like that, he got furious.

“I knew it was a bad idea!” he ran his hands through his hair and took a deep breath.

“Not now, Sirius!” James gave him a warning look, “Dorcas, what happened?”

“The Death Eater she was following… He noticed her and tried to make her talk. She attacked him and he attacked back. She managed to immobilize him, but she was in too much pain to apparate, so she sent us a Patronus.”

“So she got him?” Marlene spoke, “She got the Death Eater?”

“Yes,” Dorcas nodded, “She’s a badass.”

Lily came back with the kit and kneeled down by your side. You were conscious but really dizzy, unable to talk. You had a deep cut just below your left breast, on your rib, and several scratches on your left arm. When Lily lift your shirt, revealing your wound, Sirius left the room.

He was so mad. How could Dumbledore do that to you? He knew you didn’t have training, he knew you could get hurt. Why had he done that do you?

“Sirius?” he heard Marlene behind him and turned around to look at her, “Are you okay?”

“No. I’m not okay,” he shook his head, “I’m fucking pissed. Dumbledore knew that could happen! Look at Y/N! She’s all covered in blood and in so much pain she can’t even talk.”

“But she’s alive,” Marlene said quietly, “She’s alive and she got the guy. The mission was a success like Dumbledore said it would be.”

“Success? You called that a success? She’s injured!”

“She’ll be fine. It’s not too serious,” the blonde girl reasoned, “Caradoc went missing. Edgar and his entire family got killed! You know what happened to Benjy… You should be happy! Y/N is here, safe again. I don’t understand why you’re so angry.”

“I’m angry because she could have died!” he yelled, “She’s not safe here! She was safe in Ilvermorny, across the ocean. Not here.”

Marlene didn’t say anything. She was too upset to speak. Sirius was mad because his friend got hurt, okay. But only two weeks before, she had gone to a mission with Dorcas and both of them got injured. Sirius wasn’t mad like this when the hurt one was her.

“I’m gonna go back there and actually do something useful, instead of being angry at nothing,” Marlene said before leaving the kitchen with a glass of water.

What she saw in the living room was comforting. All of her friends were there and Lily had just taken care of your wound. Alice and Dorcas were cleaning the blood on your face, arms and shoulders. James was sending a Patronus to Dumbledore with the mission’s update. Everything would be okay.

Marlene sat on the couch next to you and slightly pressed the glass on your lower lip.

“ Y/N… Drink. You’ll feel better.”

You had your eyes closed, but you slowly opened your mouth and let Marlene pour the water inside. You did feel better. You hadn’t realized you were thirsty until then.

“Thank you,” you said in a shaken whisper.

“Shh,” Lily started running her fingers through your hair, “Don’t talk.”

“How’s the pain?” Alice asked you.

“Fading...” you whispered, your eyes still closed, “Thank you so much, girls.”

“You should probably rest now,” Dorcas said.

“James, can you carry her to the bedroom?” Lily asked her husband.

Before the young man could answer, Sirius came in.

“I’ll do it,” he said.

No one protested. Sirius approached the couch and gently took you in his arms, bridal style. He walked up the stairs carefully and entered the guest room, putting you softly on your bed.

You opened your eyes slowly and saw him standing there, looking at you.

“Do I have something on my face?” you joked in a raspy voice.

“Blood,” he replied seriously. You sighed.

“I’m okay, Sirius.”

He nodded. He didn’t want to start an argument with you like that.

“Get some rest,” he said and turned around to leave.

“Wait...” you called, “Can you stay?”

Sirius looked at you hesitantly. Marlene was downstairs, it wasn’t fair to her.

“I don’t think it’s a good idea.”

You nodded slowly. You understood.

“Okay,” you whispered, “Please don’t close the door when you leave.”

Sirius walked away and you closed your eyes. The memory of the Death Eater standing up after you stupefied him and pointing his wand at you sent shivers down your spine. You got so close to dying. If it wasn’t for Dumbledore’s training before the mission…

Suddenly, you felt the bed sinking as someone lay next to you. You opened your eyes and saw Sirius looking up at the ceiling with his hands tangled together above his stomach. He looked tense.

“Sirius...” you reached for his hand and squeezed it tightly, “Everything is going to be okay.”

This time that phrase comforted him, because now you were right there by his side, breathing.

“I was so worried,” he whispered, “Dumbledore shouldn’t have sent you so soon… You don’t have training.”

“I do, actually. Not as much as you guys, but I do,” you told him and he looked at you frowning, “Dumbledore trained me yesterday. He didn’t send me unprepared.”

“I didn’t know that.”

“You think I would be stupid enough to go on a mission without training?” you raised an eyebrow, joking.

“No,” he chuckled, “You’re right. That doesn’t sound like something you would do.”

“Or something that Dumbledore would do,” you added, “He wouldn’t send me if he didn’t think I was ready.”

Sirius felt really stupid at that moment for thinking bad things about Dumbledore. Of course he wouldn’t do that to you.

“It was scary though… I definitely thought I was going to die,” you admitted.

“I think I would go crazy if that happened,” Sirius confessed, regretting it the second after as you looked at him, “You’re one of my best friends.”

You looked up at the ceiling. Of course he meant it platonically…

“Even if I’m injured and will probably have a scar for life, I’m happy to be here,” you said, “I know I already told you this, but I really missed you.”

“I missed you too, Y/N. More than you know,” he sighed.

Okay. He had to stop doing that. Your heart was skipping beats and you didn’t like it.

“Tell me about those boys from Ilvermorny that you wrote me about,” Sirius turned to his side and rested his head on his hand.

“You remember that?” you smiled, “God, it was so long ago… It feels like it was in a different life.”

“And it was, in a way.”

“Yeah...” your smile faded briefly but was back again soon as you remembered the boys, “They were just like you and James. Always laughing and telling jokes, occasionally pulling pranks… I even got called out by the Headmaster one day because I didn’t give them a detention when they pranked me.”

Sirius chuckled, imagining the scene.

“Why didn’t you?” he asked.

“Because they reminded me too much of you and James,” you replied with a grin, “I couldn’t do it. I’m weak.”

“I would’ve given them.”

“What?!” you looked at him and laughed, “What a hypocrite.”

“I’m not a hypocrite!” he laughed as well, “It’s just that detentions were how James and I got even closer. It really brought us together.”

“Oh...”

“Maybe it would happen to those boys as well.”

“I see,” you thought for a few seconds, “Those were definitely the best years of my life.”

“For me too.”

Someone knocked on the door and Sirius instantly stood up from the bed.

“Are you okay?” Marlene asked him frowning.

“Yeah, yeah...”

“I came to say bye. I’m going home.”

“Oh, okay. I’m sorry for earlier, I didn’t-”

“It’s fine,” she nodded.

“See you tomorrow,” Sirius hugged her and you looked away as she gave him a quick kiss.

“Bye, Y/N,” she waved at you from where she was standing, “Get well soon.”

“Thank you,” you tried to smile at her.

When she left, Sirius didn’t lie down on the bed again.

“I think I should get going too. You need to rest,” he said.

“Okay,” you agreed. You did feel worn out.

“See you tomorrow?”

“I hope so,” you gave him a soft smile.

“The S Class Heroes”

IM SCREAMING ALREADY I ONLY READ THE EPISODE TITLE ALRIGHT OK SO IT BEGINS TODAY, MY DEATH guys I am so pumped for the S Class focus thats about to begin with this episode like from here on out they become main players in the series and asfdbfhirksvfjkevfsnjkvfnjek how is it legal for ONE SERIES to contain SO MANY FAVES. Anywayyy Before I get started I’m actually wondering- this is the 7th episode of the second season… do we know how many episodes the season is supposed to run for? S1 only had 12 i think. I’m… I’m not even close to ready for it ending. Now that they’ve introduced Orochi, I’m not even sure where a good break in the plot would be?? Random concerns aside, lets get to the episode. As always, I’m watching this as someone who has read the manga and web comic to date

OROCHI IS PINK HE IS HOT PINK THATS ALL I HAVE TO SAY BEFORE THE TITLE SEQUENCE HITS ME LIKE A GUT PUNCH EVERY SINGLE TIME AND I STILL PAUSE IT AT ZOMBIEMAN OK off to a great start woo

Oh thank god we’re starting with the tournament I can stop quite literally holding my breath. Alright its Choze time. I’m actually excited for him to do things, his face has been nothing but terrifying thus far and hes one of those characters that are just fun to hate unapologetically. I love over-the-top Nazi stand-ins for that reason tbh

OH FUCK OH GOD I LOVE HIM also GAROU hiya welcome back I know it’s only been 2 weeks but i missed you so much thank you for gracing my screen for 5 seconds OH HECK the dramatic music and beginning of the internal monologue just being blatantly REJECTED caught me off guard I cackled AH WAIT WAIT

EYESIGHT DOGMAN ASDFGHK MY BABY IS COMING IM DEAD IM FUKKIN DEAD ALREADY I MISSED HIS CUTE VOICE hey no wait that was very quick?? I must withhold my bias, we’re at the point now where I have SCRUTINIZED every single panel of the manga over and over because of all of my faves, so even the smallest differences will be glaring to me. As much as I want all the action to be drawn out as it is in the manga, I know that’s never been how the anime has rolled. I must bite my tongue.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA THE ONLY TIME WE’LL EVER SEE HIM AND YET!!! oof i had to pause for 2 minutes to chill out and actually type. I. I just. juST. BOI ARE YOU OK WHERE ARE YOU ARE YOU WELL AND WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE G4 tell me your secrets

[SCREAMING]

Oh god this whole scene is so EXCITING and TERRIFYING child emperor’s face as Pig God just eats her, speaking of which -QUIT CUTTING BACK TO THAT TERRIFYING IMAGERY ASDFGHJ

YES THEY KEPT IT YES YES YES YESYEYSYEYS YOU DONT UNDERSTAND how much Ive been looking FORWARD to that little scene??? im crying how is it possible to work myself up so much of this please help

ok ok back to the tournament give my heart a break phew Hey Choze if you’re genes are so superior then where are your eyebrows????? You dont pull it off HALF as well as Z does. Jeez everything about this guy is so absurd I can’t help but laugh irl the damn DNA helix rolling across the screen dude just stop you’re embarrassing yourself

AGAIN GETTIN ME WITH THE WEIRD COLORS Hundred Eyes Octopuss is red and blue OK SURE

DEATH GATLING DEATH GATLING ASDFGHJKL guys I cant look at Narcisstoic oh no “no you’ll do no good”

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I WASNT EXPECTING THIS THIS EPISODE BUT I SHOULD HAVE I WASNT PREPARED I paused it I’m afraid to push play he’s not on the screen yet i can still turn back and make it out alive -

Behold. the moment I died

I actually have this thing with eye gore and seeing it in motion fucked me up I had to skip 10 seconds but anyway FUCK he’s so SPARKLY and PRETTY

Noting also the music there totally gave me flashbacks to the Darkmatter Thieves invasion for a split second and that sequence in general was really well done I like how they emphasized the suckers sticking to the concrete and everything- it have the monster a lot of weight imo. Of course the studio would be fools to not give Tatsumaki the the utmost respect like that sooo

SPARKLY and PRETTY and TEMPTING FATE YOU FOOL yo I was so excited to this scene but I feel like they didn’t make his response angry enough it’s funnier when it so uncharacteristically mad I might do a redraw with the face he makes in the manga………….. FUKKIN was smiley face man just yelling noises to cover flashy’s voice???? FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

OH MY FUCK WE’RE GETTING MONSTER CELLS THIS EPISODE. OH MY HECK WE’RE COVERING MUCH MORE GROUND THAN I THOUGHT WE’RE ONLY HALF WAY THROUGH THE EP

plot progression plot progression plo t p r ogr e ss i on hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Kamikaze being the badass that he is i lov

SPEAKING OF LOVES LOOKY LOOK God i love those three Okamaitachi is a WIFE and IAI is a BAE HEY WAIT let them speak come back they said words i want voices!!!!!!! this is going so fast??? Oh my god I was absolutely not expecting to get the Suiryu fight this episode holy crap holy crap?? Ok but I’m getting pumped the music is hype “trying to hide his nervousness by looking like a doofus” “this is how I always look” Oh saitama why do they do this to you. Jeez as much as I love everyone else I forget how much I miss him.

Oh and he’s getting his hopes up again sweetheart no

This is so good I’m hardly pausing to type my thoughts I’m too invested AND NOW ALSO IM DIGGING THIS MUSIC this is good v good yes and there goes Saitama being a genuinely good person offended by this jackass Saitama is too good for this world

His voice… I love him sm. aaaaaaaaaaaaaand its over. hmmmmmmmmmmmm so I have a guess as to what the post credits scene will be but let’s just see

YUP I KNEW IT cause we skipped it last week and now that we’ve introduced the monster cells it was only logical Genos no bby stop getting completely obliterated mannnnnnnnn

In all, no real complaints??? My children?? Have began to appear finally??? I just wish they literally went word for word shot for d\shot with Drive Knight if only because I’m STARVED for DK content in general. But based on the pacing of this week’s episode, will definitely cover a lot of ground and be pretty intense. I should be less, uh, screaming? Next week too. I’m exhausted from spazzing every 10 seconds hah. Well, I just skimmed the manga again and there might be some but yeah I think I can calm down for maybe 2 weeks. maybe. take a wild guess who should show up right around that time. ANYWAY Thanks for reading see yall next weeeeekkkkk

Jinyoung wants to study Psychology? Is this true?

He does looks like the psychology-loving type though, so sensitive.

(this is also mainly why I think he suits so well as the main character in dramas that has psychological topics such as He Is Psychometric hhhh

(I've been called sensitive for all my life too, surprising similarities? 😂) (Just to say, being sensitive is actually a very good thing, it shows that you can still connect with your feelings, instead of burying them down until one day they explode)

If this is true, just wanted to say,

I am currently studying Psychology at uni and extracurricularly too. And plus I had the same reason as him - wanting to know more about people, especially why people are who they are.

(It's just that now I know quite a lot about that, my reason to continue just recently changed into wanting to heal people and also raise awareness so that people around the world, especially parents, can have less psychological damages made to their kids)

So Jinyoung-AHH (mwahahaha I'll never call him oppa) (jks) (but honestly I don't want to) (hhhh) (ok let's get serious),

If you're interested in knowing more about people, the more indepth approach would be object-relations with a psychoanalysis psychology background, please don't go with behavioral psychology, as they provide only very shallow views on this topic. (I'm not saying that behavioral psyc theories are useless, they are useful when you are trying to get yourself ready a few minutes before public speaking, but they don't have any lasting benefits, they could even create harm in the long run, with them you only fix problems on the surface and ignore what's really down there that causes all this. Especially with children, it's true that you can control them very quickly and get them to do things you want with behavioral psyc theories, but being controlled is a state that is psychologically damaging for all humans and even some other mammals - have seen this in cats and dogs too. And none of us (all parents or parents-to-be in the world) want this for our children. )

In short,

Behavioral psyc is good for quick changes TO YOURSELF (unethical to do to others unless that's their wish too), but it has no healing ability as it only solves problems on the surface so the problems always comes back, and it has long term damaging effects.

Psychoanalysis / object-relations discusses more indepth ideas about human nature,

Some say that psychoanalysis is the study of parenting, and I find it more accurate than most things in this world.

If you want to know about people, get to know what a baby is like.

And that is exactly what these two always talk about, it's also a fundamental practice to observe infants in this field of study (psychoanalytic infant observation). (Note: it's just observations, it's not experiments, it is highly unethical to do anything experimental on babies, all we do is sit there and watch and take notes and think about things (😂), we do not intervene in any way.)

Asking questions like how does everything else other than genes influence how a baby is behaving and finding the answers to them, helps too

If you wanna know about people, maybe it's a good choice to first get to know them in their most primitive form - get to know a baby's psychological world! 😝

Also, for someone who loves reading as much as Jinyoung does, D. W. Winnicott's books are a good guide to not only human nature and psychology, but also to parenting, really recommend it, he is one of the best psychologists in history and probably holds the best parenting ideas as he has observed, and helped in person, over 60,000 pairs of mothers and infants.

(Donald W. Winnicott, 7 April 1896 - 25 January 1971)

That is pretty amazing to me. So his theories are all based on actual observation and actual work. This well-respected doctor is of the top 3 in my list (and probably first place in a lot of other people's lists)

(I'm a super bookworm too guess it shows 😂😂)

His books talks mainly about mother-infant relationships as object-relations does, but to be honest, the "mother" we talk about here doesn't really have to be a biological mother, doesn't even have to be female - this is just whoever the main caretaker is - and really, I feel like Jinyoung is going to be that person.

So, yup? Fighting! Hope you'll be the really great daddy you always wanted to be 🤗✨💖

(I'm always like 'I will be a very good mum' all the time too omg 😂 similar childhood experiences maybe? Not sure but doesn't matter hhhh, let's just study and be who we always truly want to be, and usually that also means, to be our true selves - this last line really goes out to Youngjae too 💪🏻💖

Natsukashii

Pairing: Neji x Tenten Read Time: 23 mins. A/N: I turn a year older this week, so I thought I'd celebrate with my favorite Naruto couple set in a similar but much happier universe. I blame old age for my mushy escapism. :D

"Three… four…" Hyuuga Neji paused slightly when he heard a sound that seemed off from the expected flutter of wings. It was a sound of bouncy, light footsteps—a child's, he decided—approaching him at three o'clock position.

Soon enough, he heard a high-pitched "Uncle Nejiiiii!" shatter the forest's stillness, sending the frightened flock of birds away.

He let out a sigh before fixing the sternest expression he could muster. It was a role only he in the whole Hyuuga clan could play convincingly: that of an unimpressed, unflappable bad cop to the good cops that were the rest of his relatives.

"Himawari-sama, what did I tell you about heading to the forest on your own?" he rattled off before his ever-sunny niece could leap into his arms.

She freely did so anyway, and pounced on him like a kitten wrestling its favorite toy on the ground. He had no choice but to drop his walking cane just so he could cushion her tiny body with both hands.

(But for the record, the suspicious twitching on his mouth absolutely did NOT mean that he approved of this rambunctious, unladylike behavior.)

"Well, Himawari-sama?" he pressed, not willing to let her off easily.

"Um… to never, ever do it until I graduate from the Academy?" She looked up at him, eyes wide in innocence.

"That is correct." He coolly eyed her up and down— the miniature mishmash of genes of Konoha's most powerful and most elite. "And that is set to happen only five years from now. So, pray tell, why are you here in the forest on your own?" He could not sense the aura of either of the child's parents nearby.

"The twin bun lady!" cried his little niece breathlessly, cheeks flushed. "Uncle Neji, the twin bun lady in the picture came back!"

The picture Himawari was referring to was that of Team Gai during their genin days. Maito Gai beaming at the camera while proudly clasping both of his boys on each shoulder. Rock Lee reluctantly taking a break from his daily 25-kilometer warm-up run long enough to get a photo with his beloved team. Him looking at the photographer with an expression that says, "Get this over quickly. I have an unfettered sighting of your most critical chakra points, you know."

And the only rose among the thorns. But boy, was it a thorny rose. The bright and high-spirited Tenten, both hands pumped, as she gave a gaping, open-mouthed smile for the camera, uncaring of the photographer's pleading to 'act like a girl more'.

He recalled how Tenten's almond brown eyes flared up when she first heard the photographer's appeal for more feminine restraint.

"You're a guy! Why would you know more about how to act like a girl than I do?! Now watch me do a wrestler victory pose! Harrrr!"

And he, who till that moment had rarely taken an interest of other people outside his clan, couldn't help but silently follow the exchange. Until that moment, all the girls he knew bowed their heads and smiled and followed whatever the adults tell them to do.

But not this girl.

And as years passed, he would come to learn that she was actually different from most other people, too— men and women alike, as she would forcefully insist whenever less-discerning folks would try to look down on her elite shinobi skills.

It had been two decades since that picture was taken. And until now, it was the only photo decorating his spartan-like room. It was probably for that same reason that his little niece had taken a world of interest at the spunky girl who seemed to not be much older than her in that picture.

"She looks strong! Is she really strong, Uncle Neji?"

"No one in Konoha can beat her long-range precision," he would honestly answer. "And no one can surpass her knowledge of weaponry and tools."

"Is she brave, Uncle Neji?"

"Extraordinarily so."

"She has twin buns for her hair, too! So cute! Don't you think so, too, Uncle Neji?"

"I… y-yes."

"Then you should marry her— oh no, Uncle Neji! Why did you blow hot tea out of your nose? Grandpa, Grandpa! Look at the neat trick Uncle Neji showed me! Nose fountains!"

Himawari's palm waved up and down his face, sparing him from a further embarrassing walk down the memory lane. "So… let's go see her?"

"H-Huh?"

"The twin bun lady. Let's go see her!" She effortlessly untangled herself from his hold, handed him back his cane, and proceeded to pull his hand towards the direction of the forest edge.

Like a puppy sheepishly trailing its owner, he clumsily followed her lead. "Are you certain it is her? She hasn't been in town for many years."

The little girl let out a distinct sigh of impatience not many would try with the great Hyuuga prodigy. "I know what I saw, Uncle Neji! Mama and I were bringing Papa's lunch to the office when we saw her chatting with Papa and Uncle Shikamaru." Her free hand grabbed the protruding upper tuft of her hair into a makeshift pigtail. "Her brown hair's on braided twin buns. She was wearing tassel earrings and a long, pretty white dress…"

Against his better judgment, he found himself greedily taking in the descriptions as his mind weaved together an image of his niece's alleged twin buns lady.

"...and she was talking about the weapons on the table so happily!"

Bingo. It was her. He didn't know anyone else who had the capacity to talk about weaponry with the pride and affection a mother held for her firstborn.

"What was her name again?" Little wrinkles of concentration formed on the child's face. "Mama already said it when she greeted her. It's like a repeated syllable, um…"

"Tenten. Her name is Tenten," he finally answered, to the little girl's delight.

"Yes, yes, Tenten! That's twin bun lady!"

"I may have ruined things for us forever, but doing this… don't you think this is a bit too much, Neji? Don't you think this is a bit too cruel?"

The memory of her words halted him in his tracks, startling Himawari who until then found ease in making her grown uncle do as she pleased. She turned to him, puzzled. "What's wrong, Uncle Neji? Is your back bothering you again?"

"I… should probably greet her tomorrow instead," he finished lamely, avoiding her curious gaze. "I do need to rest as well."

Himawari looked slightly disappointed, but her concern for her favorite uncle won over. "Okay. I'll walk you home, Uncle Neji." She marched by his side, as if guarding his unreliable hips from giving out beneath him.

"Thank you, Himawari. We'll come see her tomorrow instead." Neji made a mental note to give Rock Lee a ring so he and his son could accompany them. He knew the father-and-son' tandem's outrageously high-level energy would make things less awkward for him and his former teammate.

"I'm sure Tenten must be in bed right now and resting, too."

"Yep, with him."

His neck whipped hard towards his niece. "HIM?! Him, who?!"

"Oh, you know. The short man with black hair that makes him look like whole garlic head? Wears red glasses? He was with her when she paid Papa a visit and they're going to stay together in her old apartment…" Himawari's voice trailed off when she saw her uncle frown worriedly, as if not liking what he just heard. "What's wrong, Uncle Neji?"

"It's nothing." But her uncle was wearing a rare troubled look on his handsome face. "If you will excuse me, Himawari-sama. I need to speak to your father."

Wow, I guess Uncle's injuries aren't bothering him as much as before, thought the little girl as she watched her uncle briskly make his way towards the village center.

EW Kitty au (consequences)

N/A: Well, here we go with the arc. I love arcs.

@djinmer4 @dannybagpipesarecalling @sailorstar9 @discordsworld @look-ma-no-hands336

(past)

Princess Wanda is quoted as being the next ruler to Genosha, a rumour that usually would spread hate among brothers, yet, Pietro is above such feelings and often proclaim how Wanda would be a better ruler than him(and Magneto) and support her decisions, yet, Wanda herself knows how naïve she can truly be and no one can rule a nation as big as Genosha without knowing more about its people.

So, she devise a good disguise in her opinion, and is out in the world. Genosha has beauty, as it has ugliness, Magneto says all mutants, but, then he can say some mutants. And Wanda wants to understand the situation to then finally change for better, not for worse.

“Hey, do you plan to pay for it?” an angry man asked as Wanda take a bite on an apple without noticing, she would pay, of course, but, she has no real money. The man has no one of that as his hand morph into a knife and demand compensation for one apple.

Before Wanda can cast a hex, a really painfully one, on this foolish man, a woman´s hand is holding the now knife-hand calmly. “Rex, calm down, relax, your apples really are worth more than human life?” the woman wearing a white dress(resembling a bride, almost) suddenly change his knife-hand to a normal hand and shakes his head agreeing with whatever the woman is saying. “Apologies, Rex, cut a future customer´s hand is not the way to make business” the woman instructed and Rex apologies with a robotic look on his eyes.

“You…have the gift!” Wanda is in awe as only faes possessed such gift, well, that´s what she read. The woman smiles amused and introduced herself. “Hardly a gift, it depends on how you use it, and my name is Kitty Pryde, which means I´m not a fae”

Wanda blushes as her assumption of the woman were pretty obvious. “ My name is Sansa” Wanda replied quickly and Kitty crosses her arms amused. “Right, Sansa, I take you to read too much or didn´t think on a cover name” Wanda is about to ask how she notices when Kitty shows a penny with Wanda´s image “You have a pretty face, Wanda, people notice that”

And thus it begins their friendship. Kitty is a necromancer and often tell her past adventures, Wanda was under the belief all Necromancers are like Kitty, sadly, Kurt proved her wrong, in the end, Kitty, Pietro and little Lorna(the new addition to the family) stay by Wanda´s side as she announced her pregnancy of one night stand with an evil necromancer.

Wanda gives birth to Talia and Kitty announces she´s pregnant, and to Wanda´s surprise, she too announces it was from one night stand with a stupid man. His name was Lance and Wanda can offer some solidarity at that. Motherhood is a trait only for the strongest women after all.

(Present)

Kurt Wagner can know when his presence isn´t welcome and Wanda make that abundantly clear, yet, Genosha called for him and his worker, Logan, to be fair, Kurt sees Logan as a friend, but, he understands that if he uses the word friend Logan´s life can be cut in half by his many, many, many enemies. Logan is also not a sentimental fool.

Wanda, Pietro, Lorna and Talia are present and are all sitting in the throne. Pietro takes the word as Wanda is looking at Wolverine, for the first time, analyzing him as if is the first time. “We call you here, Necromancer, because, we discover something potentially dangerous that can shake the foundation of Genosha and we know you´re a downright asshole, so, is much better to have you on our side then as enemy” Pietro explained bemused.

Kurt smiles at that, but, internally Kurt wonders why Logan was asked to be here.

Wanda take a deep sigh and speaks, avoid to look at Kurt, and focused on Logan, “Father recruited the necromancer Kitty Pryde” Kurt exclaimed he knows her and Wanda ignores him “ and father refused to pay for what was establish and in retaliation…she takes his powers away and we lock him up” Wanda will also leave the detail where she killed the guards and they had to pay to revive said, guards.

Logan is confused. “Well, she did kill Killgrave, I´d believe she can do that”

Wanda closes her eyes and starts again, once again not looking at Kurt. “she´s a powerful necromancer, to the point, she manages to resurrect someone that wasn´t buried here back to live, taking the soul, bones, flesh and blood. She brings back my mother, Magda Maximoff” Wanda explained and Logan feels dreed in his gut “and mother told us two things very important, one, Magneto killed her and, two, you are our father and we had a third brother” Wanda explained in a neutron tone.

Talia takes the word and looks at her father. “If people do find out about this, we can put Lorna as the ruler as she is the legitimate daughter of Magneto, however, I would like you to avoid mentioned this, father, could you promise this for me?”

Kurt smiles kindly. “For you, Talia, I would love to see you as the future queen of Genosha and certainly I won´t stop you from achieving it,” Kurt promised and Lorna asked Talia to see if Kurt can do a blood oath, again, Kurt is not very liked in Genosha. “Of course, sweetie, for you, I´ll” Talia smiles and assure that her father won´t tell anyone about this.

“I take” Kurt begins amused “You want help in finding the missing baby, and judging by Logan´s face, he has no idea either” true to his words, Logan is speechless. Oh, Kurt will want the details of that story.

“Yes, but not your help” Wanda replied “We did pay the Lady Necromancer to find the missing brother, his name is Jimmy and we can believe in her word”

Kurt can see this is a veiled insult, yet, he´s far more curious with Kitty´s abilities and reputation to care for the insult.

Logan is speechless. And is thinking about how Pietro could be his, after all, the white hair is so clearly Magneto´s gene. “Actually,” Wanda starts reading his mind “Pietro and I resemble our grandparents from mother´s side. Even Magneto knew that and we never really make more questions, maybe, that was our mistake here”

A man with brown hair, a coltish figure as well a bit brawny, although, not enough to make him a caricature as the word could suggest, finally arrives in the gothic house of the city and has a smile on his face.

The man knocks on the door and as Lockheed answers it, immediately recognize the young man as it is cuddling with the person. Kitty arrives and is in tears. He´s here at least. “Charlie? My little Charlie” Kitty hugs the young man as she never saw him before.

“Mom, I´m back, the mission is over, I´m home” Kitty kissed his forehead gently and lead him inside, where Magik and Jia are making their crafts, spells of healing first, before attack(is a rule of her) and stop as recognizing the young man, even if Kitty hasn´t said a word, the eyes are a given away. Both have doe eyes.

“Hi, you must be the new students of my mother, nice to meet you, I´m Charlie Pryde, another necromancer that lives in this gothic house, how was the class going?” Charlie asked the young girls as they replied in unison.

“Well, she clearly doesn´t like to teach us,” the girls speak. Kitty protested mildly and Charlie nods his head “She was like that too with me, I must learn her crafted, but, there´s the paradox here, she does not like teaching. Have you reach potions?”

“Yes, she said we must do potions in full moon, as is more potent,” Jia explained and Charlie nods again. “She´s right, it is thanks to such advice that I became a good potion maker, you know, one thing mom can teach you is how to use your power for whatever you want, a villain, a hero or an ordinary person” Charlie explained.

“Yeah, and…she´s better than Professor X” Magik adds “I´ve heard rumours about him…and I prefer your mother more” the blonde girl concludes as her project is ready. The same one Jia is doing and the same one Charlie did.

“Well, mom is a lazy teacher, but, she´s a great mom” Charlie concluded and Kitty is playfully pinching his check for a moment. “Very funny, you three, now, as the dinner will be ready, you girls can take a break and you, young man, go take a shower…you stink”

Charlie shrugs. “I was fighting sea monsters and yeah” he smells himself “Well, the monster was worse”

As Charlie leaves Jia and Magik ponder if they should tell about the evil Necromancer that seems to want Kitty Pryde. “What turn of events!” Jia said amused and Magik agrees.

#Evil witch Kitty au #evil witch kitty #kitty pryde #history of genosha #Logan/Magda #Jimmy is not a royal #royal huse #evil wizard Kurt #Charlie is here and won´t be amused by EW Kurt

Oc Rose just putting thoughts together. its a lot so a read more my man my dude

So Rose is an older oc of mine, who got revamped for FF7. her tag will be “ #wilted-Rose

When I made her she already had 4 wings so I warped it around and made it fit, along with her back story. Dia isn't here as that causes a bit of a split in timelines. but rose can fit into dias timeline just a few things change.

Pretty much, Mother’s eggs were used Jenova cells used as a sudo sperm. The first baby died, so the mother was removed from the program. Jenova cells lived off of basically mother periods until they were stable enough to fertilize again.

Mother gave birth to Rose, died during birth because 4 wings on the back aren’t too good for a mother in the slums. Either way, word spread fast and Rose was y o i n k e d by Shinra.

Rose was similarly to Sephiroth subjected to tests but hers were less about being soldier and more dealing with Jenova and the Cetra.

Rose was likely housed at head corders and was a slippery little thing, thus interacting with the three musketeers. She basically bonded with them because she’s half Jenova. She has a pretty strong pull.

Angeal was basically a dad/big brother as you’d expect. He’s pretty good at keeping her clam and still dose his long talks of honor and such. Rose sucks it up like a sponge and finds a great deal of interest in his Buster Sword. Calls him Honer, or Ang.

Genesis for a hot while was a bit indifferent but would help in soothing her. He’s been the designated one to sow on small fake flowers to her clothes, it has to be done by him or she cuts them off. Rose will wait for Genesis to return from missions to sow them on, its one of the ways they bonded. Calls him Genny

Sephiroth is more sympathetic, being able to more understand the experiments. Well, he absolutely sucks at showing it Rose gets the idea of what he’s trying. Rose quite enjoys braiding Sephiroth's hair and is quite good at being sneaky about it. Calls him Sephy.

Rose fucken love their eyes. she finds the slight glow of Mako a comfort to find in the dark, and really just likes to look at the detail and shape of Sephys cat eyes due to them being the only pair.

For all three Rose will commonly hide behind them away from her experiments, always having a vague idea where they are. She also made a feathered earring for the three. It’s metal but wrapped around the tip of a long feather, having their nickname etched in on one side and real name on other. Rose got some help from Sima ( @coldhands-shipping )

Speaking of Sima, id thinks she meets her though Genesis but doesn’t really get that they are a pair, just thinks they are close working buddies of sorts. Rose just likes to annoy people and probably off handly mentions she’s making the earrings and Sima may offer to help?

When Genesis yeets off, he probably figures out some way to yoink Rose. (Still working on that) Genesis likely takes her on a whim because of the whole wing thing. Her cells being stable Jenova related ones are (theorized) to halt his degradation process. So him being less than sane pretty much forcefully take Roses cells.

After a while Genesis May see what happens if he puts his cells in Rose, it causes changes like hair color change & wing color change. But it takes a lot, given to much her left eye changes into the same Mako blue as Genesis. She tried to remove it with a fork.

Roses Genes sort of replaces the genes of who they are injected to. If monster it will make a rose copy of sorts if someone with Jenova Genes they will copy those genes. Thus giving Genesis more of his own genes in a way?

Rose absolutely fights Genesis, so she gains a few scars when Genesis has to pretty much hold her down. To him, it’s Life or death so a scar is worth it.

When Rose gets over the Jenova pull is likely towards the end of CC. Her cells want to be near other Jenova cells. but when Genesis is denied by death she follows Zack & Cloud.

She pretty much sticks by Cloud and tries to wake him up. (I like to think she does wake him up, Zack picks to yeet, and lives. Please let my son live.)

She follows Cloud pretty much, even watching Sephiroth die, tho does struggle with also hearing Jenova. She joins Avalanche for a hot moment, maybe about a year before just leaving. (Kinda hard to be put to work when you are half Jenova, and Sephiroth went bat shit)

Rose rose to her own area, someplace deserted. She builds her own farm really. Having a few flowers, fruits and veggies. And her mental health has gone to s h i t

Rose has settled down & is basically trying to slowly kill herself tho it’s a pain. She chops off her wings out of a moment of despair, lives.

“Hi I’m 16 years old and I’m an alcoholic”

Sima will sometimes bug her but Rose will react violently. When Genesis comes around she’s more use to Sima dropping by. Basically, she burns Sima well in a half-drugged dazed. She and Genesis fight, and legit tell Genesis to kill her.

He doesn’t and leaves and she gets back to her farm.

Rose from 20-30 will turn Jenovay, hair turning white, her still brown eye will go green & cat-eyed. Her blue stays the same. She sprouts new wings, that replace her old ones & hurt like hell. But she can hide them which is a plus! They are black but the end feathers are a sort of dusty white

Basically Rose is mega fucked and super salty. Genesis says anything and she can wrap it around to his desperate abuse. Tho in time she will attempt to make up & get better when she’s around 25.

Fanon as canon

(sry for bad writing, that’s gonna be some gramatic wrong shit but i NEED to say this -aahhh this is hard, sorry)

That’s not a message to antis (fuck them) but massage to pro-shippers. In our fandom we have some weird shit that we all agreed is canon? Its all because bakudeku started as enemies..? rivals? definetly not friends? Because Bakugo told Deku to go to kill himself.

That was a first episode; we didn’t know a shit except we need to protect Izuku at all costs bc he’s so adorable and just need protection. But then there is started some weird west shit where people completly ignoring what’s going on on the screen cuz no one noticed Izuku’s reaction on these words.

Well, you see, I came in fandom after wonderful villain!deku au’s and now i think its the dumbest thing fandom ever made so i was low-key shipping bakudeku. And one of the reasons why i started to watch this show was ‘cuz I wanted to see how really abusive this ship is. I wanted a proof. For my favorite kind fo AU and for my probably OTP.

...

But then I finally saw that scene, goddamn I laughed so fucking hard OMG. Pls rewatch it, PLEASE REWATCH IT WITH YOUR OPENED EYES.

Was it just me or Izuku’s first reaction was a desire to say “well fuck you too”???

Was he upset? Obviously, his notebook was thrown into window. But what else? He was angry. He wasn’t scared before Katsuki glared at him. He wasn’t crying (his usual reaction at everything). After that, he just said that Katchan was stupid to say that.

That was the moment when villain!deku died to me. But so did a big part of bakudeku fandom cuz they are so good people who can’t do anything wrong so when they do, they need to apologise и этот момент во всех фанфиках написан как по методичке And so need Bakugo BECAUSE HE BULLIED MIDORIYA FOR TEN YEARS or something like that apparently (funny thing but i figured that russian just doesn’t have an equal translation; well we have a lot of childish nouns and a lot of verbs so we can translate ‘he was bullied’ but we can’t translate ‘that guy is bully’ without it sounded stupid and childish THE FUNNIER THING: the closiest that i heard used is ‘provoker’ :D i just found that very hillarious dontmindme)

Well, the question is: was Midoriya really get bullied? I saw enough animes to think it was not the case. Or it was nothing really serious and just words. And look me in the eyes and tell me that this guy gave fuck about what people told him. Especially in middle school. He was one with his dreams against the world, even against his own mother (and i need to write another post why i hate Inko Midoriya and probably why I’ll never be accepted in your world of saints). He was quirkless and people laughed at his dreams. His mother didn’t believe in him. But Katsuki? He just wanted get rid of him.

Big bad Katsuki, right? Because you never ever in your lives met people who you thought was weird, who made you feel weird. That could be your friends sometimes or your friend’s friend or just that one classmate - you have never been in such a situation, right? I’m not saying his actions are fine - nah, he was an asshole kid, but i can understand why. Actually, if you read manga, it was said literally: Katsuki doesn’t see a problem in a bit of violence. He was raised that way, he’s angry kid, with not so family-friendly quirk (probably). But he knows when to step back, he follows rules, he’s a good student and he wouldn’t let his ‘friends’ smoke nearby bc he doesn’t want to get into trouble. His dreams (plans) are too big, he works so hard for them to happen. He might be an asshole but he’s responsible asshole за то и любим

So, some stupid kid who thinks he’s better then Katsuki (btw go rewatch their first fight but without this ‘we need to protect Deku’ bullshit in your mind and listen to their dialog - it’s a gold of comedy misunderstandings honestly) that kid thinks that he’s, being a loser (he WAS loser, smart ofc but still yeah it’s not good call him that but ffs), quirkless, can achive something for what Katsuki worked so hard. Most of you would’ve hate this kid too, don’t lie to yourselves.

But would he risk his dreams to hurt him?

Yeah, there’re moments from times when they were what? four? that frame where ‘he became bad after he got his quirk’? i honestly think it was a plothole but just imho :D Asshole violent little brat but i really would’ve love to know the whole story bc wtf. It’s probably my problem after being here too long so i automatically looking for bad things and it’s not like kids never fight. I don’t believe it was something drastically and IT IS the most drastic thing that i found in their history.

And after all... intresting point: Deku still thinks that Katsuki is amazing (even when he’s an asshole) and don’t you fucking dare call him a masochist ‘cuz he’s not. He would fight him.

He wanted to fight him when Katchan said that stupid thing (that you all so love to overthink). He fought him when they were little. He fought him in villain vs heroes lesson without that much of a second thought. Yeah, he’s nervous around him at first bc Katsuki is loud and literally explosive and yeah, from that all you can think he’s scared of him, but is he? Izuku is nervous kid in general. He always was just a nobody for his classmates and it’s not like he was naturally talanted at anything (quite opposite) and his only parental figure is Inko (she’s wonderful woman, okay? but not the greatest mother and also nervous wreck). It was his first days in UA, Class 1-A was just introduced, we didn’t know anybody, and it’s some new test already - ofc he would be nervious.

So, anyway, if Katsuki didn’t abuse him physically, he obviously did that emotionally bc... we need a scape goat and we already hate Bakugo and he told Izuku to kill himself so that’s enough. Or bc he’s the only guy from Izuku’s chilhood who’s name we know, so we can blame him - he’s important to story, right? probably bc every story need an almost-villain so we can hate him altogether. Or maybe bc it was not Bakugo, but a whole atmosphere: his classmates, teachers, his ‘I’m sorry, I’m so sorry’ mother. First of all, probably genes.

Second of all, ask yourself a question: can one stupid Izuku’s words Bakugo Katsuki break Midoriya Izuku? To the point where we call that’s a trauma, where Katsuki’s usual harsh vocabulary becomes a crime, where we write suicidal fanfics and they don’t sound stupid?

Except they does because Izuku isn’t suicidal, not even fucking close. He doesn’t have a trauma. He is just a nervous kid and - actually - he isn’t fucking weak (strong in spirit or smth like that). Funny thing: when i first watch their exam right before summer camp arc, when they started talking that great speak about impassable wall, I actually thought that can be said about Izuku :D He’s not easy to break and he easily ignores people’s opinions when he needs. He’s self-destractive, not suicidal. Different things, guys. I’m pretty sure even if he did thought about that ‘way out’, he never made this an option. Yeah, you actually can seriosly consider this as your ‘way out’ and then think that nope, not for you.

So, after all this FUCKING TEXT WALL OMYGOD, let’s get back to the point that I didn’t even stated in first place.

Why Katsuki need to apologise?

I’m sure at some point Katsuki hated Deku (bc Deku looked down at him whatever it was or wasn’t thruth - for Katsuki it was) and at some point Deku couldn’t leave him alone. He called him names (name ‘Deku’ was made before Deku happened to be quirkless, some people forget about that), but so did everyone and don’t make Katsuki the most evil one - unlike most, he had reasons and he’s an angry kid and Izuku was a bad guy in Katsuki’s story who wanted to destroy him while hiding behind his innocence smile - what a fucking story with a plot-twist it could’ve been, if it was Katsuki’s POV-

Katsuki didn’t ruin Izuku’s life, not even close. You can say, he ruined his childhood, but I would risk to say that was mutual (Greetings, Inferiority Complex!). Really, can I start to say that Izuku need to apologise to Katsuki bc he didn’t even try to understant his friend?

So, Bakugo is a bully bc we never saw an angry teenager and bc Izuku is innocent and it’s just them two in the world and Izuku is the only one who was hurt no, really, no jokes here, I think Katsuki is a lot more emotionally damaged then Izuku ever was and because we have a really dumb headcanons that we forgot were just our thought ебаное слово, вечно забываю как пишется and interpretations.

So we agreed that Katsuki beat Izuku bc he was quirkless and helpless (seems like EXACTLY THE REASON WHY HE WOULD DO THIS R I G H T) and called him names (definitely not bc he felt threatened by someone who’s supposed to be just a nobody).

...

Okay, that sounds bad so I rephrase it:

Why Katsuki should apologise to someone who he saw as a threat when he for so much reasons shouldn’t?

Not so simple anymore, hah?

Can sound dumb but ambivalent feelings is a thing. And that’s the only reason I can find to explain why Katsuki was the only one of the whole class who didn’t laughed when they’ve been told Deku’s trying get into UA. Because shitty nerd had a chance? Because shitty nerd thought that he stand the same ground as Bakugo and it wasn’t funny anymore? Because stop looking down at me?

Bakugo Katsuki is the best fucking character I’ve ever met. He’s so real. So complex.

And when you picture him as a bully or just a bad guy or abusive, you’re killing him as a character. I don’t like saying that 16y.o. are just kids, but he is AND he’s trying his best. He doesn’t understand all things and he has never met a proper rivals before and he’s definitely not a social person (and nope, you can’t change a character so deal with it and learn to see through this). And let him learn.

He may or may not look back one day and see what a little piece of shit he was, but I don’t think he would say something. He’s a man of action after all.

And I definitely think that would be unnecessary and would look forced bc Izuku doesn’t need this. Izuku isn’t a victim, and when you picture him as one, you’re killing him as a character.

(it should’ve been ended right after ‘OMG TEXT WALL’ but here we fucking are; does someone read this?

i really hope this shit is readable; if not, it’s not about my shitty english that much, but my writing, ehh)

You have headcanons - good. You figured them in a way to fill a gap in the story - great. But for the love of characters, don’t fucking pretend them to be a canon.

But really, is it just me or does first chapter look weird? It’s fctually just funny how so many people seems stuck in FIRST CHAPTER when we are close to second hundred. I’m not saying ‘heeeey character development’. I’m asking: is first chapter a really good reason to make assumptions?

#bakudeku #bnha #boku no hero academia #midoriya izuku #katsuki bakugou #my shitty inglish #SEVEN HOURS OF MY LIFE TO THIS SHIT wooooow #its not even readable is it #i'm d o n e #just my disorganised thoughts tho
