What would the WMLP cast do if they got sent back in from where they currently are in the fic to their old body 10 minutes before the mission that went bad is set to start.
ooooooooh yes we're on the same mindwave lmao I have in fact had this thought.
all of them absolutely hating their tiny little teenage bodies. appearing in them and being like 'why am I suddenly super self-conscious and uncomfortable? why does everything feel slightly off when I move? why are all my thoughts happening so quickly?' and finally realising they're back in a pubescent body and they're just like 'oh I see, I'm in hell'
all of them trying to take this seriously, arguments on the rise, but they just can't because they're all so tiny and silly looking. especially Dick, who has suddenly lost like, almost three feet worth of height.
Wally's voice cracking every three seconds tho. oh my god.
all of them trying to hold up the ruse with the league for as long as possible because they don't want to tell them, they want to figure this out themselves. except maybe Conner, he kinda wants to just tell the league and let them fix it.
Them getting a mission and everyone being like 'well this will be interesting' and Conner sweating because he really doesn't think they should be going out in the field like this.
In the mind link:
Conner: we gotta tell them
everyone: don't you dare!
Conner: no seriously guys we've got to tell them
Wally, trying to be inconspicuous as he glares at Conner: snitches get stitches
Conner: Wally i could fold you like a pretzel right now. for the love of god can we please just tell them
Kaldur: I'm with Conner on this one
M'Gaan: if all of you don't shut up and keep the act going I will turn your brains to mush now everyone shut up and get in the bioship
oh jeez, M'Gaan seeing the bioship again. my heart.
I think eventually Batman notices Conner being super awkward and sweating anxiously and he's like 'what's going on?'
Artemis: nothing!
Dick, through gritted teeth: everything is great
M'Gaan: yep! all fine!
Conner: *visbly sweats even more*
Dick, in the mindlink: you're waking up with kyrptonite in your bed tomorrow I swear to fuck
Conner: we all time travelled and ended up in our current bodies!
everyone but Kaldur: CONNER YOU LITTLE FUCKING SNITCH
Kaldur, wincing: well that didn't last long
Batman and Black Canary: what
lmao. love it.
#dc comics#fanfiction#dick grayson#young justice#with morality like a polynomial#wmlp#wally west#conner kent#kaldur'ahm#m'gann m'orzz#artemis crock#the team#you know that scene in rise of the guardians?#when Bunny is smol#and then dives under a car#and then boom he's big again#that happens to Dick

Sonic: i ain't believing this
#so apparently the fandom kinda hates this design for Rotor but i like it#i reminds me the boom series and i like the boom series#i didn't like Rotor other design cause he weird and old like Rotor is around Sonic's age he looked like he was 45 going on 50#like somebody's grandpa like i know he looked like that because of stress and other situations but i didn't really vibe with that#i never really liked the big type characters to began with but i can get behind this#say what you will that's my taste and if im wrong let me be wrong i can like things#rotor walrus#sth#EDIT When i say “i dont like big type characters” i mean Tall there is nothing wrong with big charcaters or tall characters#I just like characters that are small and when i say small im talking tiny or short i did not mean to offend anyone who is fat#For what it's worth Sonic is fat and we appreciate fat people here#i apologize again

its kinda strange to me how people act like movie sonic is a little kid compared to other versions of sonic and have the other sonics like. baby him. in crossover stuff. yeah movie sonic is a little guy hes like 13-14. but most other sonics are 15 so theyre also little guys and theres really not a big age gap here. and they also have friends who are younger than them that they dont treat like that. so idk why they would be acting like movie sonic is a little 5 year old if they ever met him
#i guess people act like this with movie sonic because of his personality?#but his different personality and behavior isnt the result of a big age difference#its because hes much less experienced with the going on adventures stuff#as well as other differences in the life experiences of him and other sonics. idk how to word that hopefully you get what i mean#also there are very very few sonics who deviate from the default sonic age of 15. only like 3 i think including movie sonic#and most of them are younger. the only one whos older is pre reboot archie sonic whos only older by a year or two#and hes not even one of the sonics whos included in stuff like this and given that weird dynamic with movie sonic im talking about#its always game sonic or boom sonic that people do that with. who Again are not much older than movie sonic at all#and have friends the same age as or younger than movie sonic that they dont treat like little kids. so it feels. off

✎ . . . ❝ [ amethos but, epic au! ]❞ .ೃ࿐
dedicated tracks: “the horse and the infant” & “just a man”

though strategic in his battle tactics and a master in the art of war, sethos is not one who particularly enjoys the bloodshed and adrenaline that comes along with it. unfortunately in this day in age, not many would agree. for them, to harbor such skilled yet deathly attributes, should thus be carried with pride. only then, can a man ever wish to become that which is greater than himself. this is how many view the reigning king of tulaytullah.
an adversary that is neither man nor mythical, but one’s darkest moment.
but would his fellow comrades still think the same of him now if they saw him hesitating on striking down his greatest foe? granted.. said foe was nothing more than a mere infant.
a fragile, defenseless being he now cradled in his arms, a familiar gesture that brought forth memories of his own child as he looked into their eyes. how could such innocence be deemed a threat by the gods? to be the bearer of such great calamity?
he couldn’t do it. how can when all he sees as he carries this child are fleeting images of his own son and wife.
where as he stands out on the balcony overseeing a once prosperous nation now set ablaze and ringing with battle cries from his invasion, he imagines for a moment that he’s back home in tulaytullah. even after all the years, away from everything he’s known, he can still see the image of the streets below bustling with vendors as they open up shops and prepare for the day ahead. instead of the smoky air, he imagines the mellow summer breeze that travels through the air of his kingdom, greeting him a pleasant morning.
in this daydream, sethos continues to hold the infant in his arms, having decidedly taken him in to raise as his own. at his right, his own son tugs at him, eagerly wanting to meet his new little brother and on his left, is his wife — amélie . her head resting upon his shoulder while tender eyes gaze upon the infant that she of course welcomed with open arms. it’s a distant future but one that is so picturesque, he almost believes it to be true.
but as the infant’s cries suddenly echo out, everything vanishes as quickly as it came, reduced to nothing more than the ashes that fill the darkened skies.
the world he desires is not awaiting him should he go against the will of the gods.
to have sympathy now would come at too much of a cost. one he can’t afford to lose as a man who’s just trying.. begging to go home.
#✧ ⸝⸝ ❛ 𝖺𝗆𝖾𝗍𝗁𝗈𝗌 𝖻𝗎𝗍 𝖾𝗉𝗂𝖼 𝖺𝗎!#this would’ve been a banger x reader fic concept but im gatekeeping it for my selfship instead >:3#because then i can be more delusional and commission specific fanart for this. boom. i just cracked the code for writer’s block chat /hj#anyways - this was really fun to write out! making the parallels between odysseus and sethos was very cool especially since i feel they ..#are a bit similar to each other at least in my opinion. although when it comes to the fate of the infant im more inclined to believe that .#sethos wouldn’t actually commit it like he’s someone who’s willing to go along with things but at the end of the day he also has his own ..#beliefs and opinions on things that even if some god came down to him and said ‘hey that child is going to ruin ..#your life if you don’t kill it’ he’d probably think the gods were more messed up than the child ( which in hindsight they are ) and say ..#‘screw you’ before leaving with said child. sethos is a lot of things but he for sure aint no follower#but ofc in this case we’re going to assume he didn’t for the sake of the narrative lol#also yes. you did read amethos canoncially having a lovechild but that’s kind if a big question mark rn as in: you probably wont hear ..#much of them aside from some small mentions sprinkled here and there because again it’s for the narrative chat. but tbh amethos lovechild .#could literally just be a copy and paste of telemachus i mean.. the vibes kinda match ykyk but that aside#i’ve been brain rotting this concept a lot so you’ll be seeing a lot of these posts in the foreseeable future!#sometimes it’ll just be small hcs + dialouge + drabbles like this that will only be at a max wc of 500 or below#and perhaps some commissioned art who knows 👀#oh yea it might be best to have some context/knowlegde abt what epic is at least if you want a more solid understanding of whats going on😭#i mean idk you could probably still understand without context but.. idk HELP in my case i literally played out this entire brain rot ..#scenario in my mind while listening to the songs as though it were an animatic ( imaginative mind go brr )

like idk how excited I am about the plots of any of this newest season of doctor who but man if I'm not loving the shit out of Ncuti Gatwa's doctor. And also Ruby, I love her.
So far I actually really liked Boom? And the last one I just watched was Rogue and I did have a lot of fun with the character of Rogue and his and the doctor's relationship. I knew it was going to happen, didn't know outcome/specifics. So it was a lot of fun.
#doctor who spoilers in tags#idk boom i wanted as a two parter. I want them to have dragged out that more. have seen more of the world#loved the concept of the doctor being on a mine the whole time but honestly if the second part was after they solved that I wouldn't have#been mad. also love weird condensed body tube#idk space babies not bad tho babies talking yikes#my only thing about rogue was i don't care about the bird creature's motives? Like I wanted some evil plot not just cosplaying I-#also i liked the concept of the musical episode (can't remember the name) but the twist musical number and also that final fight was just#underwhelming for me#yeah none of the plots are doing much for me specifically but im really liking the characters?#idk it's weird to me that this entire season is basically written by rtd which to me seems like a meh choice#chibnall wrote all of flux and i hated all of flux. i mean i also hated the timeless child stuff that was brought up in whittaker's second#season (i think it started there - i genuinely can't remember that season anymore)#idk need that bit of variation. even if im not a big fan of moffat overall i did enjoy his ep#anyways theres my doctor who rant -- overall its not a bad season just no episodes hugely jumping out for me#again tho loving ncuti gatwa's performance. he does the mix of goofy and serious so well. that bridgerton period episode like. oof that end

Growing up, we had these beautiful Abert's Squirrels around. They have these big bushy tails and long tufted ears. Gray fur and white bellies.

My grandparents who raised me loved to watch them out on the porch, they put special birdseed out just for them and would watch them every morning.
My Papa especially loved them. He set up his recliner by the big full windows in the living room so he could watch them and the birds all day while he read the paper and his book. He built he house himself 40 years ago and made sure the entire wall of the living room facing the porch was all windows. It was his and my favorite room in the whole house.
One day, while driving, an Abert's Squirrel darted across the road, too fast for Papa to stop hisnold truck, and he hit it. He slammed on the brakes, but it was too late.
He was devestated. He was a military man all his life. Fought in Vietnam. Before that he was raised in a town so rural that the school was only one room. He was taught men don't show emotions, especially over "trivial" things. Him hitting that squirrel to this day is the closest I've seen to him crying.
My Grandmother is a tiny, gentle, deeply compassionate woman who would set out slices of pear for the wasps to eat. She cried openly. She collected the squirrel with a towel and wrapped it gently, and told Papa she would find a good place to bury it. Maybe in the garden.
But since Papa had tried to stop the truck, the squirrel wound up barely being touched by the impact. It was in almost perfect condition. Still soft and beautiful.
Papa has a few hunting trophies. A pheasant he was particularly proud of is his favorite. Grandma took the squirrel to hid taxidermist in secret and had it made into a piece.
Its a beautiful piece of taxidermy. She had them pose the squirrel on a branch as if it was climbing one of the pines and had stopped to look curiously at you, its head cocked and its fluffy tail up. Its black button eyes are big and dark and look truly alive again.
She gave it to him that Christmas. It's been displayed in our living room ever since, where Papa can see it while he reads, and the squirrel can look out the window with him.
#it didn't make up for the animal's detah#but it was my grandparents- my parents#my parents legally speaking-#way of honoring it. and I always thought it was very tender and beautiful.#Papa is autistic the same way I am. I see myself in him all the time#each day he becomes more tender. age has made him kind in a way he couldn't be for most of my childhood.#he turned 90 very recently. he was born in the 1930s smack dab in the middle of the dust bowl#he had relatives that trainhopped to california but he stayed in Oklahoma#i've been thinking about him so much lately#his memory is starting to deteriorate#I live so far from him now but I want to talk to him every day#his voice lights up when I call and he always tells me “Looking forward to hearing from you tomorrow!”#he has a big deep booming voice that rarely sounds below a shout. people often think hes angry when he isnt. he has trouble regulating tone.#but Im very good at reading it now. the love in it.#Im sorry for posting such a long reply to a poll and going on and on in the tags. i just love my Papa so much. I call him Daddy now because#he really is my father he raised me since i was a baby. and it made him so happy when i asked if i could. and my grandma when i asked#if i could call her Mama. She cried again.#if anyone reads this I'd like to know. I dont usually talk here. this all just spilled out of me.

𖹭 cw: suggestive, edgy, mdni
part one | two | three | four | five ‹soon›
Unfortunately for you, your big brother's friend sukuna can be surprisingly light on his feet for someone so large. It seems that startling the living hell out of you is his new favorite pasttime. And he's around all the time now. He shows up unannounced and lets himself in. When you ask Toji why he has a key, he just laughs and says, "He doesn't. He wants in. He gets in."
Okay? That's cryptic and annoying, but you'd rather feign indifference than ask questions. Why overcomplicate things?
Mostly, he just sneaks up behind you and shouts, "Hey, brat!" In his stupid, booming voice as he claps all four of his large hands down on your shoulders. You count it as a victory when you detect his smokey scent first and actually manage not to jump out of your skin. Although you still break out in goosebumps at his touch, he doesn't seem to notice, judging by the satisfying look of dissappointment on his face. Your satisfaction is short-lived, however.
The sound of the two men crashing through the front door in the wee hours of the next morning startles you awake. You flick the bedside lamp on just in time to see sukuna crash through your bedroom door. Of course, you scream and clutch the pink duvet to your bare chest. "Oops," he says, with a shit-eating grin. "Wrong room." Toji drags him out with some half-assed muttered apology about drinking too much. You're not so sure that's a pertinent excuse. The smug look he shoots you before the door slams shut seems pretty much par for the course, at this point.
Sadly, that was not the end of early morning encounters with the monster. Now he has you caged in against the counter, nearly breaking your back in an effort to lean away from him. Evidently, he had seen fit to creep up behind you and you between the kitchen counter and his mountain range of a body. And you wee only trying to steam milk for your latte. What the fuck is his problem, anyway? Can't a girl make her morning coffee in peace? Your protests remain lodged in your throat, however, along with your racing heart.
He's so large and so close you have no choice but to look at him, which, to your horror, still renders you temporarily speechless. Being so close to him reminds you a little of the first time you ever saw a tiger at the zoo. The animal was so unlike anything you had ever seen before, so deadly and beautiful, that you could hardly believe it was real. Could hardly believe that it was roaring and pacing close enough that you could reach out and sink your fingers into its thick coat if not for the bars. The bars kept you safe, then. What is keeping you safe, now?
It is unsettling, the way his upper set of eyes remain locked on yours while the lower set look down at the hand scalded by your spilt coffee. "What's the matter brat? Hurt yourself?" He mocks as you clutch the injured hand to your chest. You hardly notice that one of his hands has left the counter, but somehow you don't flinch when he lifts it to your cheek to tuck a lock of hair behind your ear. "Did I scare you?"
The gentle gesture alongside his mocking words is so disconcerting that you remain a quivering-lipped mute as seconds crawl by at a snails pace. You wonder if the action was subconscious on his part. Seems the only viable explanation.
You don't find your voice again until Toji's breaks whatever hypnosis the monster has you under. "Let's go," he says, and, just like that, Sukuna pulls away and you are finally able to pull air into your lungs again. "Gonna be gone for a couple of days-" Toji begins, addressing you.
"Please tell me you're taking it with you," you interject, stabbing an index finger in Sukuna's direction.
"Yeah," he says. And sukuna gives you one last smug, spider-eyed glare before he disappears through the door.
You're so relieved that it doesn't occur to you how quickly a couple of days can pass. Or that, when they do, your brother might not be the first to return. Relieved, not only to be free of Sukuna's bullying for a time, but also because what you feel is not truly fear. It's more like awe, if you really had to put a name to it. But you make a point not to think about it too much, or at all if you can help it.

Maybe if he was the world would have been changed...#''snake dont go to shadow moses youll get played like a damn fiddle'' Boom crisis averted. mosty. they still might launch a nuke i ddunno#big boss cant be saved though millers busy. hes stjll gonna do all of that. he & kaz are still gonna get divorced#iforgot what my point was here#i have another joke to make hang on

cw: brief description of domestic abuse
sad pathetic reader stumbling into a local pub all drenched because of the rain, heaving and crying and pretty in your suffering that it has simon’s straightening up on his seat with a pleased purr rumbling from his chest.
“wh’?” johnny asks from where he’s got his cheek smooshed on kyle’s shoulder. “wh’s goin’ on?”
but simon’s already standing up—all big and imposing and rugged—and all john can give his drunk sergeant is a tip of his head towards your direction with something muttered from under his breath. something like he’ll break ‘er and might ‘ave t’ do some damage control after this.
.
you startle at the heavy body that drops beside you, before shrinking into yourself. you wonder if he’s found you; if your attempts have been nothing but futile, and tears begin to well up in your eyes, choking you up as anguish slams into you once again.
you think of begging him; of apologizing.
you shouldn’t have to—he cheated on you, after all; it’s his fault that this even happened, but you remember his anger; his voice, booming as he yells; his hand poised for a strike. you remember the desperation that filled you; the sudden surge of adrenaline that led you here, away from him.
god, you should have ran farther.
you should have done more. you should have—
“easy there, little mouse,” a voice that you do not recognize breaks through the haze. it is deep and gravelly and rumbling, and you—
you find that you can breathe again.
fingers twitching, body still taut in tension, you turn, trying to see who it is. to put a face on the rumbled croon, but all you find is a hulking figure squeezed in the booth beside you. masked. scarred.
someone who is not from here, that you’re sure of. no one can look this…terrifying without being forgotten.
his eyes crinkle in his smile, you suppose, when you finally look up at him. then, the deep purr once more; something pleased and giddy and almost teasing.
“well, would you look at that—she’s a pretty thing, ‘fter all.”
your breath stutters as heat slams into you, burning and building like a miasmic fever taking over. you try to say something, anything at all, but his eyes are dark pools of something heady, and you feel so small beneath his gaze.
you feel seen, but in a way that is pervasive. like he knows what brought you here; what you are running away from.
you feel comforted. this—he—is not dangerous enough to run back to where you came from.
he croons again, and this time, you feel yourself responding—the tension seeps out from your pores, loosening the tautness of your muscles, leaving you to finally feel the exhaustion burning underneath your skin. you don’t even startle when he raised a hand to brush his knuckle along your jaw.
“yes. jus’ like that,” he murmurs, breathy himself.
you lick at your chapped lips, heart squeezing when you find his eyes devouring the sight. “thank you.”
he cups your cheek this time and swipes his thumb just underneath your eye. you don’t even mind that he’s yet to say his name or why slowly, almost tentatively, you’re being flanked by what you think are his mates.
