Alfonse/Lif sword enthusiast moments
I feel like there are more instances specifically of Alfonse complimenting another person's weapon?? I can't remember if I'm just making that up or like. Where or when or who it happened with. Also cannot remember if his alts talk about their weapons, I feel like they don't? Which honestly lends itself to him just being really enthusiastic about swords specifically
#fire emblem#trying to get base lif to talk about the sword was so funny like. yes i know sir you are very sad.#yes i know sir. we're not friends and you're not worried about me not even a little bit. but PLEASE can you JUST give me SWORD DIALOGUE#closing and opening the app over and over like SIR. I AM. TRYING TO MAKE A POINT#anyways i think beyond like. literally being raised to become a fighter.#i think he just thinks they're neat.#actually... i feel like it could be entirely possible the interest originated from him as well#like the stick accessory w the note (alfonse age 3). like. that just indicates he used it as a sword while playing#which like. could very well just have been an interest in swords bc swords are cool as fuck actually#and thinking about it more actually like. yes he absolutely was raised a certain way but also#his dad was a little bitch about him and sharena joining the heroes. like. they did that against their dad's wishes#much to think about........#anyway main point this is my alfonse/lif sword nerd agenda.#and i find it SO charming that interest remains even as lif. like he's just like that.#fe alfonse#fe lif#3am thoughts LMFAO

Im just going to be doing this third installment for the rest of the most memorable demons (minus Rui's siblings, Spider Mother, Rui himself, Nezuko, Daki, and Genya again for VERY obvious reasons) on who I think is the best and worst dads/moms. No real order this time tho.
MUZAN:
-He would be a mixed up bag of good and bad traits tbh. When you first told him he flat out told you to stop teasing him. "Stop your childish games. It's a waste of time." You legit have to go get Kokushibo and have him look over your form through the transparent world and have him confirm to Muzan that you were indeed NOT lying or trying to prank him for Muzan to believe you.
-He's oddly silent for a long moment after just staring at you for a long while before going "Oh...Well this is a surprising turn of events."
-He can absolutely act like he's invested in his child and loves them. He's an asshole but a very convincing one to where even you couldn't tell if he was genuine or not. How he is towards the child is a mixed bag in of itself. He doesn't treat the child with harm or too much aggression. If anything he's actually more curious about seeing what a demon-human hybrid could accomplish.
-Look. Your child is either fully demon or fully human with your mixed genes. There's no in-between. If it's fully human then he's rather disappointed in the result. In turn he loses a lot of interest in the kid and just allows you to essentially raise them yourself without too much interference. He might change the child into a demon when they get older but overall wouldn't see much point in bothering with the tyke.
-If the child is demon THEN he will have a bigger interest. He's disappointed when you both find out that your child is in fact NOT immune to sunlight but he was already anticipating that anyways. He's very invested in making the perfect heir for himself.
-VERY strict perfectionist. Your child will be very smart, a good fighter, and as dangerous as a lower moon by the time they're eight because of their father's teachings. But at what costs?
-You wouldn't get to have a say in much of anything in their raising then.
-He plans out their schedule every day AND night for everything: Education, training, discipline, sleep, times they are to eat and who they interact with and when- He has very strict rules and if they aren't followed then they're training time is much more harsher. By default he also plans yours as the child's mother.
4½/10 Only because of the mixed bag of parenting style otherwise I'd score him much lower however an in between seems about right.
SPIDER FATHER:
-He's a good dad in Rui's opinion to Rui but no one else and honestly I hate how he treats practically everyone else.
0/10 for obvious reasons
YUSHIRO:
-Honestly not as bad of a father as one might assume. Whether the baby is between himself and Tamayo or himself and Y/n doesn't matter. He loves them all the same. Doesn't even care if they're human, demon, or a hybrid.
-Was shocked but not too shocked by the news of becoming a father, but it did take him a whole ass week to really come to terms with it.
-He's very skilled in medicine being Tamayo's assistant so he's able to help a lot with the baby's mother's pregnancy. Tonics to help her sore throat after they vomit, cures for aches and pains especially with swollen ankles, check ups to make sure baby's healthy. He's VERY attentive to his partner and their mental, physical, and emotional needs. Doesn't mean he's not a nervous wreck tho.
-Despite already knowing medical procedures including the birth, he still researches LOTS. Best educational toys, best fabrics to lessen the irritation of the baby's sensitive skin, etc- This man goes above and beyond so much it worries the mother. Tamayo has to get involved in order for him to be convinced to calm down.
-Is literally a nervous wreck when his child is born. Messy hair, bags under his eyes, nervous pacing- He doesn't faint but for a long while after the baby's born he'll just sit down and stare at the closest wall blankly and silently- "Yushiro, are you alright?" "Oh yes. Perfectly fine." "Then why are you just sitting there?" "Just...having a moment, Dear." Give him a moment. His brain is still processing the chubby sleeping mass in his arms after so long.
-Once reality finally slaps his brain into gear, he just cries. Good tears going down his face as he blubbers and holds his baby close to him on instinct. Praises mama too. Commenting on how baby is as beautiful as her and they have her eyes.
-Terrified and protective dad. He knows the dangers and keeps baby at home with mom safely tucked away in their hidden home away from danger. Only takes them out when both himself and Tamayo go somewhere. Strength in numbers.
-Loves holding his baby and sharing his painting hobby. Tamayo found him holding baby as they messily slapped hands full of paint all over a canvas. "Yushiro, what are you doing?" "Exploring their artistic skills of course."
-Man hangs all of his child's artwork proudly on the walls. Once nearly threw hands when one of Tamayo's patients said it wasn't that great.
-He can be very strict or hard on his child due to stress, fear, or stubbornness however and it has lead to some loud fights.
8/10 best father on this list no doubt
SWAMP DEMON:
-Have you seen how creepy he is in Kimetsu Gauken?? Absolutely NOT!
-0/10 Id rather take my chances with Muzan with a massive temper
TAMAYO:
-Is already an experienced parent having prior experience with her past family she lost. So she would definitely know what she's doing and what needs to be done. Already a good start.
-Is very calm and casual about the entire process as she's been through it before although Yushiro is practically worrying his entire hairline off fussing over her. Even though she tells him multiple times to stop worrying so much.
-Can really take care of herself through the entire process being a doctor and a previous mother before so there's really no complications outside of having to stay hidden for safety reasons.
-Has already prepared, planned, and set up a nursery with all the essentials on top of having an emergency bag in case they have to flee right away.
-Yushiro becomes the de fault uncle/dad figure worrying over the baby and crying when Tamayo allows him to hold baby and help care for it while she's busy. He becomes very protective and attached to mini Tamayo.
-Very good parent. Rarely if ever raises her voice to her child. Teaches them everything she knows about medicine and other skills so her child grows to be very smart. Has Yushiro help train them with his attack mode in case they ever have to fight anyone.
-Only downside is that she is unsure if she should offer her medicine to baby if they were born demon in fear it might harm them.
10/10 best mother out of all the demons in kny

what do you think of shinobu, some people in the Fandom dislike or even hate her for teasinh and mean comments towards Giyuu, I adore her but I love to know what you think about her
Space anon
I LOVE SHINOBU but okay the thing about Shinobu is the same thing about Giyuu. I think they’re amazingly written characters with so many great qualities that I can’t get enough of, but the fanon representation is infuriating to me because it reduces them to their surface level personalities (Shinobu is cutesy and Giyuu is depressed) and that’s all the content we see of them. It’s so disappointing, because Shinobu’s cutesy personality is all a front for her anger and real emotions which are SO interesting. So here’s my favorite things about her!
So, I love Shinobu because she’s a mad scientist!!! Why don’t we talk about this more?? This girl made literal face melting poisons because she couldn’t cut off a demon’s head, and not only that but different poisons with varying pain degrees! She tells Tanjiro when they first meet that she’ll use “a gentle toxin” to kill Nezuko, which to me implies that she’s made multiple of them, and probably has one that’s excruciating on demons. She literally pumped poison into her body just to kill Douma, that dedication is crazy to me. I love this part of her, I love that she’s a little sadistic and incredibly smart, I think this stuff is so much more interesting than that “ara ara” bullshit!! Respect my girl and her mad scientist tendencies!!!!
She’s also so, so loving and has a huge heart and I adore that. As much as I think the gentle toxin is crazy, she’s offering it to use it on Nezuko when she learns she’s Tanjiro’s little sister, and that implies to me that she engineered a painless poison for people whose family members or lovers have become demons, and don’t want them to suffer in their death. Beyond that, she loves Kanao, and Aoi, and the girls who clearly mean a lot to her, especially Kanao who she’s raised and trained to be an exceptional fighter. You can see her love for her when Kanao begins to break out of her shell, how proud she is, and you know that Kanao is everything to her. She’s also good with Inosuke, who she doesn’t need to be kind to, but chooses to be anyway because she can see he’s a little misguided. She teases Giyuu, but he’s also a huge loner who she talks to all the time, and I think that’s her way of trying to ease his loneliness, even if he does genuinely bug her. She fucking sacrificed herself to kill Douma, which is an act of revenge but also an unbelievable thing to do just to end the war and save thousands of people from dying in the future. She’s incredible!
And real quick, I do want to say something about the way she treats Giyuu, because people go way too far demonizing her for it. Giyuu is an irritating person to them, he doesn’t want to engage with anyone ever and is honestly an asshole when he wants to be. They are misinterpreting him when he says he’s not like them for a superiority statement, but they still have a right to be offended by it since he’s never explained or elaborated on it. So there’s that, and in the scene where Shinobu is saying things about nobody liking Giyuu, it’s right after she’s caught him blatantly breaking the rules and trying to stop her from killing a demon. She’s aiming to hurt him because she’s mad at him, and rightfully so, what he did is extremely dangerous and worrying. Not to mention the way he’s not explaining himself, and all the built up frustration she definitely has with him, she’s expressing it in a justified moment of anger. I refuse to say her being mad at him here is wrong, and even if it is kind of immature, she’s 18, so like it kind of just comes off as a teenager snapping to me? Hardly something to hate her over imo, and a lot of it really is just teasing because she’s just like that. Idk how that’s worse than Obanai or Sanemi openly hating and being antagonistic towards him all the time even unprovoked.
I also think Shinobu is a victim of being hyper sexualized by the fandom, which is also annoying and a really shitty thing to reduce her to when she’s one of the least sexual characters in the show, but that’s a whole other discussion.
In short, I love Shinobu, she’s amazing and I haven’t even shared all the things I love about her, but the fandom can suck and I think it’s unfair when there’s all these great qualities to her.
#emmie speaks#this got long whoops#thank you for asking tho because HOLY SHIT did I need to say this#demon slayer#kny manga spoilers#kocho shinobu#space anon

SNK 129 Review
*
Attack on Titan is a very violent series. People get torn, crushed, cut, shot, and bludgeoned basically every other chapter. Loved ones are lost tragically. Mangled corpses feature regularly. The main character is one of the most ruthless people in the world.
What makes SNK so interesting is how it depicts violence. People have described the series’ depiction of violence as “unvarnished” and “real” and I’d say that’s true, but there so much more to it than that.
It’s not just that the series depicts violence viscerally. That’s been done before.
It’s not even that the series depicts violence as a fact of life.
What sets SNK apart is that it treats violence as endemic.
In Attack on Titan, violence is not only real and unfortunate, not just a fact of life we have to deal with, it’s ever present.
Yeah, this is a story about people who have to fight giants, and then the whole world, to survive. Violence would be an inevitable part of the plot no matter what.
But Attack on Titan goes above and beyond that.
It’s about the emphasis. Some stories would argue that violence should be avoided at all costs. The hero and villain are at odds with each other, but they manage to broker some kind of deal.
Or a story could acknowledge that violence is sometimes necessary. It could be an action movie that kicks off after the conflict has already spiraled into violence. In that case, the question of why people start shooting at each other isn’t necessarily important.
Or the story could show how the conflict came to violence, but emphasize the undesirability of resorting to war.
What makes Attack on Titan unique is that it focuses very much on the origins of violence, but doesn’t emphasize the undesirability of it.
Every conflict in this story is resolved using violence. If this were just a mindless action show, that’d be fine, but this is a series that invites the reader to dwell on whether violence was appropriate.
Unlike most stories Attack on Titan concludes, after all its philosophizing, that non-violent alternatives are a waste of time!
Paradis’ attempts to broker peace with the world are presented as flailing and unsuccessful. Every attempt by Armin to negotiate with the enemy fails.
King Fritz is depicted as a coward, a control freak, and a fool because of his ideology. His ideology of non-violence.
Attack on Titan seems to mock people who don’t want to have to kill. Because of that, the series almost seems to revel in its bloodshed, even as that bloodshed is depicted as gruesome and ugly.
SNK isn’t like Gundam.
Gundam has always had the theme that war is bad. SNK’s theme seems to be that war is unfortunate but necessary.
The difference between those two themes is huge but subtle.
Another important pillar of this series is freedom.
The Survey Corps rides out into the outside world constantly. Every one of them knows they’ll be trampled and torn apart at some point; they do it anyway because they believe in their cause.
That cause is to fight for freedom.
Freedom in Attack on Titan means being able to decide your own fate. If you want to explore the outside world, you can do that. If you want to found a family, you can do that. If you want to virtue signal by adopting the same dream as your friend, you can do that.
But people don’t have to literally be a slave to be unfree.
In Attack on Titan, you can be unfree just by being a slave to other people’s expectations.
People expected that Eren would be humanity’s savior. He was sold to the public as a trump card against the titans: a human who had their power. He was the advantage humanity needed to win. After 100 years, humanity catches a big break, and his name was Eren Jeager.
But it never panned out that way.
The expectation was always unrealistic. Eren was still one (not particularly bright) person, and he was never going to destroy all the titans himself.
Come the end of the Uprising arc, and Eren has not really contributed anything, and he starts to give himself grief.
When it’s revealed his existence seems to have impeded humanity’s survival, Eren begs for death. The weight of everyone’s expectations had crushed him.
Eren had been a slave to the Rogue Titan hype machine.
After Historia’s ahem “pep talk” and some post-cavern ruminations, Eren starts to let go of that way of thinking, and he’s better off for it.
He still works hard, but he doesn’t think he has to carry the world on his back, and thanks to Historia and the military overshadowing him in Uprising, people in general expect less of him, too.
Eren had been liberated from people’s expectations.
Freedom also means freedom from the past.
The Eldians are dogged by their history. Every major villain so far has thought Eldians deserved to die for the sins of their ancestors.
Reiner, Bertolt, and Annie were brainwashed to believe Eldians were devil children.
The Marleyans hammer at that point to this day.
Zeke is convinced Eldians are a curse partly because of the animosity caused by the Empire’s history.
We haven’t seen King Fritz yet, but he’s probably the craziest one of them all. He is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo convinced that Eldians carry an irredeemable stain because of their ancestor’s actions that he’ll let their enemies slaughter them.
So it’s not just what people do in the present that can make you unfree. Attack on Titan is also about not being held back by the past.
There’s one more aspect of freedom in SNK to bring up, and I think it’s one of the more underappreciated ones: the importance of posterity.
Isayama loves children.
Soldiers in SNK are asked to devote their hearts for the sake of humanity. “Humanity” means not just people alive today, but their progeny.
People join the Survey Corps despite the high death rate because even if they die, they feel they’re contributing to a future their children can enjoy.
Erwin’s soldiers know they’ll die when they charge Zeke. Erwin sells them on it with talk of paving a way forward for future soldiers.
Parents who abandon their children are presented as bad or weak people. People like Grisha, Rod Reiss, Reiner’s mother.
Gabi is spared by Mr. Blouse because she’s just a child.
Zeke thinks being born is a curse and wants to sterilize a whole race.
Oh, and there was also that hilarious non-sequitur speech Onyankopon gave about children.
The heroes fight because they’re working to a free future for future generations. For their posterity.
Attack on Titan implores people to fight for our own freedom, but also for the freedom of our descendants.
So Attack on Titan has two major components to its message: violence is necessary, and freedom for yourself and your offspring is worth bloodying your hands for.
But fighting for freedom has its limits.
…aaand because I need to tie this post in to the actual chapter I’m supposed to be reviewing, I’m going to use Floch and Gabi to illustrate this point.
In this chapter an ice cream swirl takes flight, ready to fulfil his dreams. They are mercilessly shot down by a kid with a gun. How did we get here?
Floch and Gabi were two wild fanatics starting out.
Gabi was born into a family that had a warrior in it, and it’s clear she aspired to follow in his footsteps. She and Reiner were close, and she wanted to carry his legacy.
Floch joined the Survey Corps because he heard a call and decided to answer. He idolizes Eren, and sees him as an example to follow. Eren is vicious when he fights, and Floch thinks that makes him a good leader.
Both of them wanted to free their respective peoples. Paradis is stuck on an island and feared by everyone around them. The mainland Eldians are stuck in a ghetto and feared by everyone around them.
Gabi believed the mainland Eldians would prove their worth by destroying Paradis, thus displaying their virtuousness to the world.
But Gabi was also a bit self-serving, too. She also wanted to prove that she herself was a good Eldian. She was showered with praise because of how good a fighter she was; she was driven to become that good to prove her own value.
Gabi was raised to believe her self-worth came from how well she fought for Marley. Sources of self-esteem are external for her. They come from the gratification of others.
Floch’s self-esteem is also external. He derives all of his self-worth from his identity as an Eldian. He pounds his chest about the glory of the Empire because if Eldia is glorious, then he, as an Eldian, will be glorious.
He wants to bask in the warm, glowing light of world domination. Of the knowledge that his race is the most powerful group of people in all the world.
I don’t know if Floch believes that Eldians are superior to other races, but that’s not the point. In his mind, the power of Eldia and his own power are inextricably tied together.
The big difference between the two is that Gabi isn’t an idiot.
Say what you will about her, but Gabi is actually talented. She’s smart, strong, a good shot, a good fighter, and a dutiful soldier.
Floch’s only talent is his absolute shamelessness.
He has no moral compass, so he’s willing to do things that his enemies won’t. He’s also stupidly audacious, so he’ll do crazy stuff most won’t consider.
This allowed him to get the upper hand at first. People didn’t expect him to leak information about Eren’s imprisonment to the public or that they’d work with Eren directly.
But now that our heroes are going against him in basically a fair fight, he’s losing badly. The only strategy Floch’s puny brain can muster is to keep spamming our heroes with redshirts.
Compare Floch’s shamelessness to Gabi.
Gabi…is a good person.
She wants to prove her self-worth like Floch does, but she’s not fucking pathetic about it. All she wants is for herself and her people to be recognized as equal to everyone else.
She does not, in the end, want to revenge kill Marleyans just to feel big and strong.
She only wanted to wipe out Paradis because she was indoctrinated to think that way. Once she realized that Eldians on Paradis weren’t devilish, and that the Marleyan system was crap…she stopped hating Paradis and didn’t hate the Marleyans for it.
Floch, on the other hand, nurses a massive victimhood complex that he uses to justify genocide.
This is where the series draws a line between justified violence and unjustified violence.
Floch does not give a shit about human life. He kills people wantonly, and the lives of his own troops doesn’t seem to be a factor in his strategy this chapter.
Floch, very expressly, fights to oppress others and take away their freedom. His big talking point is about Eldian freedom, but in reality his actions go beyond that into cruelty.
Gabi, even when she was a brainwashed fanatic, was never sadistic and hasn’t done anything egregious that I can remember.
In this chapter, Gabi shot a killed people with her rifle. The Yeagerists…didn’t actually kill anyone this chapter, but they tried.
But Gabi is with the good guys because she’s right on principle and isn’t motivated by sadism, or personal insecurity, or a desire for revenge.
The same is true for all of the Cringevengers.
They’re all fighting to oppose global genocide.
The Yeagerists, including Floch, are fighting because they think global genocide is justified if it saves their country.
That is inherently selfish.
Those are the themes of the series in a nutshell.
This is where things start to get questionable.
First off, I object to how pervasive war and violence are shown to be. War is an institution, meaning it is the product of human behavior. That means human behavior can be changed to make war less violent and less common.
And war has, in fact, become less violent and less common.
Attack on Titan has paid lip service to that fact, (see: Gabi, above) but it remains that we are 95% into the story and there is still zero hope for a peaceful resolution.
There is almost zero chance the Cringevengers stop Eren. Even if they do, the world will be whipped into a fury at the destruction he caused, and not only would Paradis be wiped out, the mainland ghettos would conceivably be overrun by angry mobs and Eldians would be killed in the streets.
By the way, I think this would happen even if Magath had lived. I do not understand why people thought just one person’s word would have mattered at all.
Obviously it’s not a peaceful resolution of Eren destroys the world.
Secondly, while the series makes a point that excessive violence is bad, remember that the series also makes the point that appropriate violence is often bloodier than we’d like.
The issue, as I just said, is that Attack on Titan overestimates how often situations calling for violence come up, so functionally the series seems to lean in favor of violence as a general rule.
The series flat out conflates pacifism with defeatism.
King Fritz is a defeatist. He chooses to let his subjects die rather than work towards undoing the caste system that he ruled over.
Instead of making Marleyans equal to Eldians, he let the Marleyans do as they pleased while hiding out on Paradis.
And if the Marleyans came knocking, he was going to let them kill everyone.
He hoped to create a utopian world in the time that he could. This world was built on brainwashing and dictatorship.
But King Fritz’s ideology isn’t identified as defeatist in the story.
He’s identified as a pacifist.
This is why I always thought it was ridiculous that people said Attack on Titan was anti-war. As if a series that implores people to fight could be anti-war.
This chapter was good on its own. I didn’t even mind the violence since it’s a battle and the never ending bloodshed was conveyed really well.
Then the wider context of this fight came to mind…

hey i’m link , i’m 24 , & i never learned how to fucking read . VERY excited to be here again . i work a lot but i’ll be on as often as i can . beyond that i hope you all enjoy the mess of characters i have / plan to have here ! such as dean here ! feel free to message me on here or on discord at ANY time i do not bite & get excited very easily !
full name : dean henry winchester . alises : the righteous man . the sword of michael . squirrel . age : forty one . gender & pronouns : cis male , he / him . sexual & romantic orientation : bisexual / biromantic . species : human . identifying marks : multiple scars across his body . some looking like they came from knives , others from guns . his memory on how he got them is fuzzy .
𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐇𝐀𝐒 𝐘𝐎𝐔𝐑 𝐂𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐄𝐑'𝐒 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐍 𝐒𝐎 𝐅𝐀𝐑 ?
there was still a fire at the winchester house when dean was four years old . an accident this time . an electrical fire . a normal tragedy . their mom was still lost but dean , holding onto the bundle that was his little brother , watched as the fire fighters pulled his dad from the flames . sitting with them , brother in his arms , while they consoled him & let him wear their helmets would always be a far more comforting memory to dean than the ones his father gave him in the years to come . john winchester became distant . negligent . borderline abusive . dean did his best to take the bulk of what their grief drowned father put on them , trying to shield sam , & gave a lot of his life to helping raise sam where john fell short .
when he was a late teen if he wasn’t at home or sneaking out for a smoke & some girls , dean worked at being a volunteer firefighter . it was something , he thought , slightly productive to do with his life as it was already obvious to him that he wouldn’t be able to go to college with sam still needing him around . at age eighteen , with his high school diploma stating he graduated with average grades , dean officially joined the fire force at an entry level & began saving up money for his own place . a place away from his father but close enough that sam could use it to get away at any time as well .
when dean was twenty the place ended up getting more cramped than expected . dean was notorious with women & thought himself as careful but clearly not as careful as he thought . when he found out he was going to be a dad he initially rejected the idea , wanting nothing to do with the child out of fear of turning into his father . sam was the one who talked him down from the anxiety . with his encouragement , dean slowly worked to learn how to be a parent . preparing a room . reading parenting books . anything . it came as a shock a month before the due date to when he found out the mother was backing out of keeping the child . she had been the one initially for raising it at first but suddenly felt she couldn’t do it . though he’d be on his own , dean had steeled himself to becoming a father too much to let the boy to go up for adoption . richard samuel winchester was born march 7th & dean took full custody as his sole guardian . he kept in touch with richie’s mother still , who went on to study psychology outside aurora .
being a single father was far from easy but dean managed , always taking help where he could from his brother or from friends . one friend even got closer than others . when richie was nearing two years old , dean started seeing ( REDACTED ) & the casual feeling of the affair wasn’t there for long . things blossomed into something serious & when it was discovered she was pregnant , this time dean was far more sure about things than when he was twenty . the wedding was small & around nine months later dean became a father of two as maxine joined the winchester family . or max , as was preferred .
for a few years this seemed the perfect arrangement . dean worked up through the ranks at the station , setting himself up to be the new fire chief one day , & raised his kids happily with his wife . but perfect sometimes doesn’t last long . their relationship , after all , had been a rushed one . after around eight years , things simply didn’t have the same spark as they used to . the divorce wasn’t nasty , they knew it was a mutual thing , but it still stung . he left the court as a single father again , now with joint custody of his daughter .
at fourty one , years later , he’s gotten well back on his feet . no serious relationships seem to stick but at work he’s finally gotten fire chief . he misses being in the middle of the action sometimes , but he loves his job nonetheless . if not at work he’s visiting his brother , the bar , fixing his car , or dedicating time to his kids .

( but he can see beyond that . she’s gruesome . horrific . a monster made only for the worst nightmares with two pure white eyes ) she reaches for the door & her voice is as sickly sweet as a child’s . sic ‘em , boy . what’s behind the door rivals her for terror . a black beast of a dog . red eyes & snarling teeth . blood staining its muzzle & paws . one breath blows away the protective herbs . & then dean is helpless as it rips into him . his leg first . his arm . his side . though the worst of it all is hearing sam’s begging for it to stop . but it won’t . it can’t . & WHO’S FAULT IS THAT , DEAN WINCHESTER ? dean wakes up when the dog rips his chest to ribbons , clawing into his heart . his hand goes to his chest --- there’s nothing there .
after fitfully falling back asleep , his mind plays the aftermath . it’s dark & he can feel pain . pain in his shoulder . in his side . in his head . it’s ripping him , pulling him . two hooks in his torso & chains around each wrist & ankle suspend him from nothing in an endless thunder cloud . the only time he can see is when lightening flashes . there’s blood coming over his lip . it’s pain like he’s never felt before . it’s fear like he’s never felt before . SOMEBODY HELP ME ! a desperate call . SAM ! when he wakes up in cold sweat this time , he doesn’t go back to sleep .
( one nightmare in two parts . dean had dreams of the end of season 3 where he is dragged to hell . both of the dragging & of his first moments in hell as well . )
𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐀𝐑𝐄 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐘 𝐅𝐄𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐖𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐈𝐑 𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐒𝐓 𝐅𝐄𝐖 𝐌𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐑𝐈𝐄𝐒 ?
he tries not to think of them . tries to believe they’re just dreams because the alternative is so much worse to consider . at the same time , though , as he starts to see the things that go bump in the night as more real , he feels the urge to go to his roots if only to protect the family he has here . a fake life or not , those he knows in aurora are still real enough to him .
𝐀𝐍𝐘𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐄𝐋𝐒𝐄 ?
father to RICHIE & MAX . he will absolutely go off on you if you are mean to his kids . yes , this includes other kids who bully his kids . he doesn’t care he’ll yell at you for being an asshole no matter your age . absolutely no one messes with his kids .
still has the impala here . can’t have dean without his car .
while he is the fire chief , fixing cars is a huge hobby of his . if he didn’t love his job , he would absolutely leave it to work as a mechanic at the local garage .
while he mostly works on his car himself , he still brings his car to the garage a few times a year for things that his own garage doesn’t have the tools for . they know him there from his recognizable car .
his father has been alive for sometime but he’s recently found out he died from a stroke in his sleep . dean is stuck between the duty of giving his father a proper funeral & his own bitterness at the man for how he treated him & sam . this is only worsened by the memories of john that will come back .
he is bisexual ! because i’ve watched this show & have eyes ! i know ! is he repressed a lot & hasn’t exactly had an offical coming out ? also yes ! doesn’t mean he HASN’T made out & gotten with a guy or two in the past . just means he never felt like he could say anything about it all growing up & now just figures it’s too late .
uuuuuuuuuuuuh anyway . i’ll add to this more if i think of more .
𝐂𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐒 .
SAM WINCHESTER - younger brother . simultaneously a pain in his ass & his best friend . practically raised sam but is still his brother at the end of the day . they annoy each other & love each other . very happy his kids have such a cool uncle .
RICHIE TOZIER WINCHESTER - son . absolutely is dean’s “little weirdo” & dean will say that in the most affectionate way possible . he’s always trying encourage rich & that means enduring richie’s terrible impressions then pretending they were incredible . he has , in dean’s opinion , improved with that . his jokes genuinely make dean laugh . he thinks richie is hilarious .
MAXINE “ MAX ” MAYFIELD WINCHESTER - daughter . he would do anything for max , literally she has him tied around her finger . if the principle called that she got into a fight he immediately asked if she won . but , once back home , he’d try to be responsible & tell them that fights maybe aren’t the best idea . will listen to taylor swift for them . secretly enjoys it .
EDDIE KASPBRAK - son figure . absolutely will look out for eddie as if he were his own kid . however , the boy’s mother was someone he got into shouting matches often with which probably didn’t bode well for the future of eddie & richie’s friendship . in dean’s opinion , though , the kid needs a lot more living . even if richie & eddie had a falling out , dean would still be there for the kid if he asked .
ASH WILLIAMS - close friend . they initially met when dean was around eighteen in a bar that he had used a fake ID to get into . though they ended up on opposite ends of the bar fight that broke out , they later ended up buddying up in jail while waiting for bail . since then , the two have remained quite the chaotic duo .
SIRIUS BLACK - acquaintance . works at the garage & dean trusts him with the impala . sometimes sirius stares at him for a bit too long but dean doesn’t question it .
JYN ERSO - acquaintance . also works at the garage ! lets dean borrow tools sometimes & he appreciates that a lot .

How does the character picture himself/herself? - Vanderlinde sees himself as a weak softy who can’t win a single physically fight. He doesn’t have a lot of self-confidence so he doubts himself and his skills way too much. He thinks he a push-over that anyone could walk all over.

He’s known for wearing a comforting smile and using healing words to lift people up and make them feel better about themselves.
Does he/she have a temper? No. Vanderlinde has incredible control over his emotions. Even when he’s pissed off he’s still nice, happy, and trying his best to please others.
Polite or rude? Polite Stingy or generous? Generous Leader or a follower? Leader More happy by themselves or in a group? By himself What is his/her sexual preference/experience/values? - Vanderlinde is a straight monogamous male. He’s experimented before here and there but he prefers women for the most part. He is very private about his sex life and gets very uncomfortable when people talk/ask about it. -History/Background- - Vanderlinde grew up in an orphanage for wayward boys, he never knew his parents and refuses to look into them. He was born in the United States. He doesn’t want to know why or how he ended up at the orphanage. It was run by a Catholic church, where he grew up with a deep faith in the Lord. He began to question his faith when the Priest he looked up to had passed away. - Around 18 years old Vanderlinde left the orphanage and went on a soul searching journal across the United State. He was homeless during this time as he traveled cross country, drinking, doing drugs and learning about all different types of faith. When he turned 20 he turned back to the Church and became a priest for the next five years. - He met Sage when he was 25, she was 20 at the time. Because she was a pagan witch, Vanderlinde was punished for getting himself involved with her. At the same time, he also got in trouble for researching other religions other than Christianity. He chose to renounce his priesthood and left the church because he did not agree with their rules. After that, Vanderlinde worked towards becoming a professor at the local university where he could freely research and teach others - After he fell in love with Sage, Vanderlinde joined her secret society, more than happy to join a cause he believed in and was willing to fight for.
((Again, there is so much more to Vanderlinde’s back story but Im just so tired and I wanted to quickly summarize the 20 pages I have for these two dorks.))

biography !!
okay so … born and raised in rochester, new york to the well known samuels family. preacher father, a mother, a twin sister born 15 minutes before him - aka tatiana samuels, who died back in january.
kinda … grew up as a really awkward, quiet kid? like … just didn’t really interact with other kids super well, preferred being alone and like … digging up bugs in the dirt. only friend was like … his own sister.
grew out of this as they got older, instead sort of … becoming a bit of a dick? to compensate for years of awkwardness? will bite the hand that feeds him. was a full on nuisance by middle school. tatiana was not, at least, noticeably.
has always been a fan of darker materials, y’know - grim and creepy, morbid shit. big fan of tim burton ever since he was a kid, which isn’t … a good look for a preacher’s son, but he’s never really felt ~in~ with the rest of his family, anyway.
drew disturbing pictures as a kid probably tbh that prompted one or two or five phone calls home 2 assure everything was fine.
has always been really … good at art, in general - from drawing to painting to playing with clay, that’s always been viktor’s Thing.
aNyWaYs. being tatiana’s twin brother was kinda hard sometimes. tatiana and him were near opposites besides their same mean-spirited trait. she was better in the public than he was, but viktor was arguably more talented than tatiana. they both loved each other deeply and found each other as competition for their parents’ attention - a rivalry, of sorts.
high school is when viktor really started to act out - started extreme, like losing his virginity in their church and vandalism around the neighborhoods. faked being possessed in the middle of sunday service. almost had an exorcism performed on him, probably.
the only redeemable trait was like … his sheer talent with art. was in a 3d art AP course, specialized in sculpting - could pretty much create anything he wanted with enough dedication.
because his parents would be focused on disciplining him for his antics, tatiana could sneak away and get away with stuff easier. so like, y’know, that’s on the bright-side of things.
never been particularly motivated to do much - wasn’t planning on attending lockwood but his parents kinda … did and sent in his application for him b/c they were Not on board with him Wasting Away (wanted him out of the house asap)
actually pretty smart !! just doesn’t like … want to apply himself ever. double majoring in english and visual arts because they’re like … two of his only interests :/ plus he wants to write and illustrate his own series of children books with a style similar to tim burton’s
he’d been experimenting since high school but college is where he really started to like … crack down on himself and figure himself out. was out as pan & nonbinary by his sophomore year of college, just … not to his family, necessarily. thinks tatiana always knew, but didn’t … really use it against him, blessedly enough
always felt like the whole twin - connection thing was … both wack and also not-wack? sometimes it felt believable but sometimes he had no idea what was going on in tatiana’s head. but he felt oddly transparent to her, always - like he was predictable to no one but her.
( TW DEATH, GRIEF, OVERDOSE / HOSPITALIZATION BEYOND THIS POINT )
but when tatiana disappeared - it was like, like viktor knew. the moment she had been kidnapped - felt something deeply wrong in his gut. and when tatiana died - viktor felt something cut so severely in him. he knew, he always knew exactly when. he couldn’t put his finger on how - but he knew. even when everybody else held out hope for her to be found - he knew.
went on a bender around the same time, had always struggled w/ drug addiction but it got worse the longer tatiana went without being found.
( also struggled heavily with his mental health, too ?? has manic and depressive episodes. will fixate on a sculpting project for six months and then purposely knock it off the table and destroy it in the matter of seconds once it’s finished for. no fucking reason. impulse spends A Lot. )
when her body was found, viktor went off the rails. ended up overdosing and being hospitalized where he spent the next like … however long months … until they deemed him better.
has been back since the beginning of fall semester in an attempt to finish his senior year - mostly out of his parents’ insistence that he did, because he very much did not want to.
is still dealing with a lot of trauma & grief, which was only amplified with dean lockwood’s death - causing him to spiral and be unpredictable with his mental health. some days are good, and some days are very bad.
personality !!
the human embodiment of a gremlin, fed after midnight. a goblin, if u will. one of those cats with a narrow head and big ass ears. that’s him.
b i g horror & halloween enthusiast. loves the old campy horror movies. probably has an abundance of masks from different movies. dresses like a grimy millennial beetlejuice more than he should. love those vertically striped pants!
fashion alternates between e-boy (would b tik tok famous if he were like … 17), millennial beetlejuice, and like … goth in a crop top and sweatpants. big fan of crop tops. big fan of sweatpants.
he can be fucking mean. petty, aggressive, instigator. will literally spit in ur face or no reason. kind of person who’ll stick his gum into other ppl’s hair. other than that he’s like … pretty okay. he’s not always mean, he’s just a dick like … 70% of the time lmao
i mean yeah okay he’ll call someone a stinky bitch for no reason except He Feels Like It And Believes It. it’s fine he’s fine, we’re fine.
despite the fact tht he’s probably getting into fights whenever - considers himself 2 be a lover n not a fighter but that’s just because he Fucks a lot. kind of uses it like a coping mechanism, like he’s this big fancy carnival show that’s like ‘come one, come all! fuck the dead girl’s twin brother!’ may have a problem w/ hypersexuality but it’s nothing he’s fully. aware of.
the preacher’s whore son, basically
like i said he’s pan & nb, switches between he and they pronouns but like … he has such a fragile grip on his identity that u could call him ‘dog-faced bitch’ and he’d turn like hey wassup :)
vastly impulsive, like i’ve mentioned … destroys his own creations 4 the fun of it, spends all his money on useless shit, will cheat on someone bc he feels like it. screams into the night sky frequently, like a cat in heat.
i mean he also creates useless shit for no reason too. spent six months sculpting a hollowed out tree the size of him and then took a sledgehammer to it.
dramatic fuck. used to play the organ at the church like … when no one was looking after him and service was about to start. just these creepy as melodies. would do the same thing at home on his keyboard w/ the organ setting whenever he got grounded until his parents took away his keyboard sadjfkg
won’t talk about his time away b/c it’s not rly anybody’s business but ofc nothing is sacred to the watershed app, y’know, nothing’s private.
still like - he absolutely refuses to talk about tatiana’s death and like, his mental health or his addiction (he’s fallen back into it tbh but it hasn’t gotten bad again … yet) or like … anything involving his own emotions
will literally just change the topic! abruptly, no warning, asks about the jonas brothers instead.
that being said he’s obsessed with tatiana’s death. tatiana was very much a rock for him, kinda dependent on her in a way? just … being there, y’know, kept him grounded.
so he obv became a shepherd bc he wants to know Everything there is abt the app, wants to be deep inside it, wanted to know Who Exactly Killed Tatiana and like … not saying he wants 2 commit murder but :/ yknow. he’s very upset.
emotionally unavailable while also like crying twice a day.
will tell you straight up what he wants from you, no bullshit, no beating around the bush - just blunt. if he wants to just fuck, nothing else, then that’s that. if he feels deviation he’ll ghost in like. less than a second. kinda awful like that! feels no shame.
but like … also is emotional ?? as shit ?? it’s confusing. he’ll cry on a whim and then flip u off if u try to console him or like. ask him anything. will bite you.
he goes to therapy but he generally fucks around and wastes most of the time until the therapist threatens to like … idk what therapists r allowed to threaten. to send him off to another therapist? idk.
likes being intimidating but like … not with his body or nothing ‘cos he’s a TWIG, but like … uses his love for horror n creepy shit to his advantage. has an abundance of fake blood. has channeled the energy of jack nicholson and used it on tatiana’s boyfriends before.
( also a big fan of sfx makeup, has dabbled in it)
probably chases kids with a chainsaw (w/o the like … chain … or w/e … so it’s not actually Dangerous) around halloween
he’s generally never doing good, both mental health wise and morally.
would probably steal candy from a baby for the fun of it.
i don’t know if there’s a good to him, deep down, and i don’t know if he sees any issues with himself either !! nothing really breaks through to him anymore, the only person who ever really made him stop and Think about his actions was tatiana.
kinda introverted, recluse type who doesn’t rly like most people or going out, but he’ll go to parties if it means he’ll be high as shit.
pretty observant. likes to analyze people even though he’s probably not … fully right.
wanted connections !!
he lives alone currently but like … ex - roommates where viktor was just. a nightmare to live with.
feel like a lot of enemies is also a possibility !! viktor’s messy.
people that like … knew tatiana. dated tatiana, even, and viktor would pretty much try to intimidate / scare them at any given chance :/
close friends of tatiana too
people who hated tatiana but liked viktor. people who hated viktor but liked tatiana
people who take pity on him and he Hates it viciously and vocally.
a band of hooligan gremlin kids who do drugs and fuck shit up around town like they’re edgy teenagers even though they’re all early to mid 20s.
the girl he lost his virginity 2 in high school lmao … a distant memory
fellow rochester locals, from church or school or whatever
exes from the past !! good terms and bad terms, but i love bad terms a whole lot mainly b/c viktor’s a jackass.
don’t know if he’s soft towards anybody but we can try. we can Try.
friends, old friends, new friends, bad friends, good friends, close friends, frenemies, etc. etc. all of it
hookups !! so many hookups. fwbs, one night stands, whatever.
uuhhhh god. i don’t know. im so sleepy rn. people in the same major or similar majors.
maybe a ride or die.
people he’s a bad influence on / an enabler towards / all around toxic for them / each other.
people he’s fought !! people who’ve seen him get into random fights and were like ‘uh wtf’
fellow shepherds !!
literally anything im not picky.

has always been a fan of darker materials, y’know - grim and creepy, morbid shit. big fan of tim burton ever since he was a kid, which isn’t … a good look for a preacher’s son, but he’s never really felt ~in~ with the rest of his family, anyway.
drew disturbing pictures as a kid probably tbh that prompted one or two or five phone calls home 2 assure everything was fine.
has always been really … good at art, in general - from drawing to painting to playing with clay, that’s always been viktor’s Thing.
aNyWaYs. being tatiana’s twin brother was kinda hard sometimes. tatiana and him were near opposites besides their same mean-spirited trait. she was better in the public than he was, but viktor was arguably more talented than tatiana. they both loved each other deeply and found each other as competition for their parents’ attention - a rivalry, of sorts.
high school is when viktor really started to act out - started extreme, like losing his virginity in their church and vandalism around the neighborhoods. faked being possessed in the middle of sunday service. almost had an exorcism performed on him, probably.
the only redeemable trait was like … his sheer talent with art. was in a 3d art AP course, specialized in sculpting - could pretty much create anything he wanted with enough dedication.
because his parents would be focused on disciplining him for his antics, tatiana could sneak away and get away with stuff easier. so like, y’know, that’s on the bright-side of things.
never been particularly motivated to do much - wasn’t planning on attending lockwood but his parents kinda … did and sent in his application for him b/c they were Not on board with him Wasting Away (wanted him out of the house asap)
actually pretty smart !! just doesn’t like … want to apply himself ever. double majoring in english and visual arts because they’re like … two of his only interests :/ plus he wants to write and illustrate his own series of children books with a style similar to tim burton’s
he’d been experimenting since high school but college is where he really started to like … crack down on himself and figure himself out. was out as pan & nonbinary by his sophomore year of college, just … not to his family, necessarily. thinks tatiana always knew, but didn’t … really use it against him, blessedly enough
always felt like the whole twin - connection thing was … both wack and also not-wack? sometimes it felt believable but sometimes he had no idea what was going on in tatiana’s head. but he felt oddly transparent to her, always - like he was predictable to no one but her.
( TW DEATH, GRIEF, OVERDOSE / HOSPITALIZATION BEYOND THIS POINT )
but when tatiana disappeared - it was like, like viktor knew. the moment she had been kidnapped - felt something deeply wrong in his gut. and when tatiana died - viktor felt something cut so severely in him. he knew, he always knew exactly when. he couldn’t put his finger on how - but he knew. even when everybody else held out hope for her to be found - he knew.
went on a bender around the same time, had always struggled w/ drug addiction but it got worse the longer tatiana went without being found.
( also struggled heavily with his mental health, too ?? has manic and depressive episodes. will fixate on a sculpting project for six months and then purposely knock it off the table and destroy it in the matter of seconds once it’s finished for. no fucking reason. impulse spends A Lot. )
when her body was found, viktor went off the rails. ended up overdosing and being hospitalized where he spent the next like … however long months … until they deemed him better.
stayed out of school until very recently b/c he just … didn’t want to go back. didn’t want to deal with it. didn’t want to be known as the dead girl’s twin. but then his mom kinda just was like ‘u go back 2 school or god so help me’ n he was like FINE.
so ya !! viktor’s back after being gone since tatiana’s body was found. that’s it, that’s him, a lil glimpse of his life.
trying to finish his senior year b/c he … obviously left before he could.
finding out that it was george who killed tatiana has ultimately ... caused viktor to spiral. his lows are some of his lowest, his highs are ... very high, but very bad. unstable & unpredictable in his actions it’s ... a whole thing :/
personality !!
the human embodiment of a gremlin, fed after midnight. a goblin, if u will. one of those cats with a narrow head and big ass ears. that’s him.
b i g horror & halloween enthusiast. loves the old campy horror movies. probably has an abundance of masks from different movies. dresses like a grimy millennial beetlejuice more than he should. love those vertically striped pants!
fashion alternates between e-boy (would b tik tok famous if he were like … 17), millennial beetlejuice, and like … goth in a crop top and sweatpants. big fan of crop tops. big fan of sweatpants.
he can be fucking mean. petty, aggressive, instigator. will literally spit in ur face or no reason. kind of person who’ll stick his gum into other ppl’s hair. other than that he’s like … pretty okay. he’s not always mean, he’s just a dick like … 70% of the time lmao
i mean yeah okay he’ll call someone a stinky bitch for no reason except He Feels Like It And Believes It. it’s fine he’s fine, we’re fine.
despite the fact tht he’s probably getting into fights whenever - considers himself 2 be a lover n not a fighter but that’s just because he Fucks a lot. kind of uses it like a coping mechanism, like he’s this big fancy carnival show that’s like ‘come one, come all! fuck the dead girl’s twin brother!’ may have a problem w/ hypersexuality but it’s nothing he’s fully. aware of.
the preacher’s whore son, basically
like i said he’s pan & nb, switches between he and they pronouns but like … he has such a fragile grip on his identity that u could call him ‘dog-faced bitch’ and he’d turn like hey wassup :)
vastly impulsive, like i’ve mentioned … destroys his own creations 4 the fun of it, spends all his money on useless shit, will cheat on someone bc he feels like it. screams into the night sky frequently, like a cat in heat.
i mean he also creates useless shit for no reason too. spent six months sculpting a hollowed out tree the size of him and then took a sledgehammer to it.
dramatic fuck. used to play the organ at the church like … when no one was looking after him and service was about to start. just these creepy as melodies. would do the same thing at home on his keyboard w/ the organ setting whenever he got grounded until his parents took away his keyboard sadjfkg
won’t talk about his time away b/c it’s not rly anybody’s business but ofc nothing is sacred to the watershed app, y’know, nothing’s private.
still like - he absolutely refuses to talk about tatiana’s death and like, his mental health or his addiction (he’s fallen back into it tbh but it hasn’t gotten bad again … yet) or like … anything involving his own emotions
will literally just change the topic! abruptly, no warning, asks about the jonas brothers instead.
that being said he’s obsessed with tatiana’s death. tatiana was very much a rock for him, kinda dependent on her in a way? just … being there, y’know, kept him grounded.
so he obv became a shepherd bc he wants to know Everything there is abt the app, wants to be deep inside it, wanted to know Who Exactly Killed Tatiana and like … not saying he wants 2 commit murder but :/ yknow. he’s very upset.
emotionally unavailable while also like crying twice a day.
will tell you straight up what he wants from you, no bullshit, no beating around the bush - just blunt. if he wants to just fuck, nothing else, then that’s that. if he feels deviation he’ll ghost in like. less than a second. kinda awful like that! feels no shame.
but like … also is emotional ?? as shit ?? it’s confusing. he’ll cry on a whim and then flip u off if u try to console him or like. ask him anything. will bite you.
he goes to therapy but he generally fucks around and wastes most of the time until the therapist threatens to like … idk what therapists r allowed to threaten. to send him off to another therapist? idk.
likes being intimidating but like … not with his body or nothing ‘cos he’s a TWIG, but like … uses his love for horror n creepy shit to his advantage. has an abundance of fake blood. has channeled the energy of jack nicholson and used it on tatiana’s boyfriends before.
( also a big fan of sfx makeup, has dabbled in it)
probably chases kids with a chainsaw (w/o the like … chain … or w/e … so it’s not actually Dangerous) around halloween
he’s generally never doing good, both mental health wise and morally.
would probably steal candy from a baby for the fun of it.
i don’t know if there’s a good to him, deep down, and i don’t know if he sees any issues with himself either !! nothing really breaks through to him anymore, the only person who ever really made him stop and Think about his actions was tatiana.
kinda introverted, recluse type who doesn’t rly like most people or going out, but he’ll go to parties if it means he’ll be high as shit.
pretty observant. likes to analyze people even though he’s probably not … fully right.
connections to the victims !!
tatiana samuels / his twin sister, other half - the only one able to control viktor.
george craig iii / close family friends ... they could appreciate each other, when viktor wasn’t being an outright asshole.
hana williams / ‘friends’ with benefits, their relationship was rocky at best but she was a good lay. have often fought due to their clash in personalities and viktor’s history with christoph.
christoph wainwright / an ex-hook up, an infrequent occasion whenever christoph wanted to tick off hana. viktor was often on board, never the one to consider others’ feelings.
wanted connections !!
he lives alone currently but like … ex - roommates where viktor was just. a nightmare to live with.
feel like a lot of enemies is also a possibility !! viktor’s messy.
people that like … knew tatiana. dated tatiana, even, and viktor would pretty much try to intimidate / scare them at any given chance :/
close friends of tatiana too
people who hated tatiana but liked viktor. people who hated viktor but liked tatiana
people who take pity on him and he Hates it viciously and vocally.
a band of hooligan gremlin kids who do drugs and fuck shit up around town like they’re edgy teenagers even though they’re all early to mid 20s.
the girl he lost his virginity 2 in high school lmao … a distant memory
fellow rochester locals, from church or school or whatever
exes from the past !! good terms and bad terms, but i love bad terms a whole lot mainly b/c viktor’s a jackass.
don’t know if he’s soft towards anybody but we can try. we can Try.
friends, old friends, new friends, bad friends, good friends, close friends, frenemies, etc. etc. all of it
hookups !! so many hookups. fwbs, one night stands, whatever.
uuhhhh god. i don’t know. im so sleepy rn. people in the same major or similar majors.
maybe a ride or die.
people he’s a bad influence on / an enabler towards / all around toxic for them / each other.
people he’s fought !! people who’ve seen him get into random fights and were like ‘uh wtf’
fellow shepherds !!
literally anything im not picky.

UPDATED:Voltron S8 Predictions
*POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD BEWARE*
It’s been a couple of months since the S7 premiere and there have been a lot of theories going around about what is going to happen in Season 8. I had my own theory, but it wasn’t very specific about exactly what’s going to happen. I just threw out some guess based on what I had seen while I was watching, but I wasn’t exactly sure where a lot of it was going at the time. At this point I think I am just about ready to make an educated guess about the upcoming events in the final season of Voltron. The crew works so hard on this show and they try very hard not to make any mistakes, meaning every small detail is important. Not to mention, how much Voltron LOVES it’s character parallels. Here I will be covering both the future basic plot and what ships become canon, including all endings beyond this. This is all my opinion and my predictions, but IDK.
So who will be the new villain?
The answer to this question is actually pretty simple and I think that most of the fandom has figured it out.
Haggar.
Well, sort of. Because, this here^ isn’t Haggar. This is Honerva. Haggar was Zarkon’s second hand, a witch. She was totally insane and her memory was corrupt. But it’s obvious, even if just by her appearance that she isn’t Haggar anymore. She even confronts Lotor on the topic when she tries to get him on her side. She has accepted and embraced her original identity.
Either way, we haven’t seen her since season 6. We’ve heard that she abandoned her army of druids, but we have no canon mentions of her current whereabouts. We know she went to Oriande to learn the secrets of Altean Alchemy. Where is she now? We don’t know. But we can make pretty good guesses as to where she went since then. First stop, was the quantum abyss. She learned about the altean colony from Shiro’s Clone. She knows where it is, how to get there, what Lotor has been doing with their quintessence, their viewpoint on lotor- basically she knows everything that we do. Which is why they were gone when the blades went to go try to find the colony. It’s also why she abandoned her druids.
What is the dynamic between Honerva and the Altean Colony? Who is the mysterious Altean we see at the end of Season 7? What was with that random crazy robot that came out of nowhere?
Honerva and the Alteans are building fighter robots like the one we saw at the end of Season 7.
We get a glimpse of evidence pointing towards this at the VERY end of season 7, with the appearance of this mysterious Altean who was apparently piloting that crazy powerful Altean ship. Allura comments on the ships altean technology, but as of season 7 we have seen the blending of technologies from different cultures and there are vast differences between this and what we’ve seen so far of Altean technology. Personally, I believe that the robot is a mix of Altean technology and Galra technology, because of the purple quintessence powering the robot and just because of the robots general design. It just screams HONERVA WAS HERE. Like, we’ve seen Haggar build plenty of “robots” and it would be fair to assume that Honerva does have all of her memories from her time spent as Haggar. I do have more evidence behind this that I will explain later, but yeah.
Why?
Okay, so Honerva is building powerful AF robots. But why? We know that Honerva is a scientist and that she is obsessed with unlocking the secrets behind quintessence, but her current motives are unknown. Well we can examine the robot, the way the robot works, previous robots, and the Altean pilot and actually get a pretty good guess here.
So this Robot has the ability to drain quintessence from things using its double swords, which are actually really cool and unique looking. I love the purple translucent-
…
Yeah, okay, so obviously not an exact match. I know. Of course, it’s been around 6 years since Haggar built Shiro’s robo-galra arm and she did kinda half ass that thing at the time too. But my point is that the general design, color scheme, functionality line up. Also the purple lightning is exactly the same. I just wanted to put that out there to prove that the robot has Galran technology in it and that it’s very likely that it’s Honerva’s work. Anyway, so the sycle/ double sword blades can drain the quintessence from Voltron (draining quintessence from living beings was also a huge part of Honervas work back when when was Haggar, more supporting evidence!) and this thing is obviously built for fighting. It’s speed, agility, power, and self defence protocols are insane.
It has shapes very similar to that of Zarkon’s armor and Lotor’s robot, but it’s much thinner and more flexible than either of these two. In fact, Voltron wasn’t even able to beat this robot by itself, it needed help from ATLAS constantly, which just goes to show how powerful this thing is. In which raises the question, why did Honerva send it out to fight against Voltron when she did? It was completely random and sure there was an element of surprise, but it still lost and they didn’t even have any sort of robot recovery team or backup. There is no way that she would have assumed that it would just defeat Voltron straight out, even with the robots overwhelming power she knows Voltrons capabilities and to always expect the unexpected. She is smart, a literal evil genius scientist. A scientist. Which is why I believe that this robot was an experiment. She was testing the abilities of the robot she built, seeing how she could improve her creation, experimenting with its limits. That robot was expendable. A prototype, a test subject. Which makes it even more terrifying than it already was. Earlier you might have noticed that I said Honerva was building robots, in the plural, and that’s the explanation here. Honerva is building an army of these robots with the help of the Altean colony.
What would she need an army of quintessence stealing, all powerful robots for? What do the Alteans from the Colony get out of any of this?
Well there are lots of answers for those questions. Quintessence is the main powersource that the Galra have been using for centuries. In order to obtain this quintessence the galra had to extract it from planets and, in Lotor’s case, people. Let’s say that when Honerva arrived at the Altean Colony that she told them the truth about the second colony. Now I have in the past theorized that Lotor’s original purpose for extracting the quintessence from the Alteans in the second colony was so that he could continue to power their ship and that he had all intentions of returning quintessence to their bodies once he finally had access to unlimited quintessence (Hence the numerous number of healing pod like chambers throughout the small section of the second colony that we saw in Romelles flashback). If this is true and Honerva conveyed that specific to the members of the colony, if they are like Romelle, I think that they would want to shut everything down ASAP. Also, Honerva being their “savior” would probably give them a lot of trust in her. So they would probably turn to her for help. They don’t know anything about quintessence, where to get it or how to use it. And this is an entire civilization that needs to be provided for.
Honerva is smart, I know I’ve said this before, but like hear me out. Like, what if after they asked her about quintessence she then explains that most of the quintessence is controlled by the Galra race, who destroyed Altea, and that they dominate a good majority of the universe. The Alteans decide to go to war against the Galra, in attempt to free the universe from their reign and to usher the world into a new era of peace under purely Altean ideals, which is extremely possible given that it was kinda FORESHADOWED IN THE ALTERNATE UNIVERSE EPISODE. Honerva then gets an army of quintessence thirsty Alteans under her finger without ever actually lying to them.
That’s exactly what I think happened. It’s all really simple and it makes sense, tbh. All Honerve even has to do is have fun with her experiment, build an army of super cool robots, and sit back and watch. And the craziest bit is that she could totally turn against them at any given moment once the army is built.
How could Honerva manipulate the Robot army and turn against the Alteans?
See, this is the part where I get to talk about how the robot is piloted. So at the end of Season 7 we get a good glance at our Altean Pilot in her cockpit.
The whole thing gives me major Attack On Titan vibes for some reason, but I just think that this is so cool. If you look at this small cockpit area you can see that her arms and legs are both restrained and that there don’t appear to be any controls for the robot. So how does she control the robot? Look at her head.
There are two glowing purple lights on her forehead and no they aren’t just there for decoration. We’ve already seen technology like this back in the Altean Castle.
The mind linking headgear that the paladins wore. Okay, so I just want to take a moment to say how cool this is. I mean, we’ve seen the paladins link with the lions and pilot them from inside prison cells using their minds, so it’s obvious that this sort of thing is totally possible in the Voltron universe and that it’s very likely that this is how the army is going to be piloted. I am just super excited. Anyway, with the way we’ve seen this specific technology work, multiple of these headgears could link together. I think that if Honerva built a piece of headgear, like IDK some sort of cool crown type thing, that could link to the robots and control them, that she would easily be able to overpower the pilots and take control of the army for herself. Like she needs people inside of each individual robot because they wouldn’t work otherwise, that’s how all of the robots work they need an actual pilot piloting them- plus they would totally act as extra batteries if quintessence is running low. And so yeah.
What does Honerva want?
Honerva’s research with quintessence has always been very focused/pointed in one very specific direction; using quintessence in order to change the laws of life and death. Although, not in the way Allura uses it to bring Lance and Shiro back to life. She has been in search of immortality, ultimate power. She wants to reopen the rift, but in order to do that she needs really powerful quintessence. Lotor discovered that the quintessence extracted from living beings, the Alteans, is far more powerful than regular quintessence that the Galra have used in the past. If Honerva can’t have access to the quintessence in the rift, then this is probably the next most successful course of action for her to pursue. But she is working with the Alteans, so she can’t extract their quintessence, like Lotor did. So who? Who will she be draining the quintessence from?
Voltron.
More specifically the paladins themselves. She wants to recruit the paladins to her side and use their quintessence in order to obtain ultimate power. After all, the quintessence of the paladins is off the charts. They have strong enough quintessence in order to power Voltron, the most powerful weapon in the universe. And even after being drained they are able to regenerate more quintessence. They don’t react the way the Alteans on the second colony do after having their quintessence drained. The difference in that might be that the paladins are willing giving their life force and it was being forcibly take from the second colony alteans, but even then the Paladins seem to have either an endless supply of quintessence or such a large amount of quintessence within them that the amount they need to power Voltron is about a chip of the block. And I know that’s not how that metaphor is usually used, shut up.
Would Honerva even be able to successfully corrupt one of the paladins and how?
Yes. We actually have one paladin specifically who is extremely emotionally unstable and has very little moral support. He has little confidence in himself and rarely ever turns to others for help. We know that he is going to be on edge frequently throughout this season, which makes him a pretty easy target for Honerva. Have a guess?
Honerva will get Keith to join her. Willingly. Keith has struggled a lot with who and what he is throughout the series. We’ve seen every single half Galra throughout the series have this inner battle, which is pretty much a battle between their inner “good” and “evil”. We all know that some Galra are born inherently good, like Krolia an Kolivan and majority of the blades. Which is actually why Keith ran away to join the blades in the first place. He was trying to prove to himself that he isn’t a monster or evil or a typical Galra that they’ve seen throughout the series. We’ve always known that Keith has been a bit of a hot head, aka he has a temper, but as of his battle with Shiro it seems a bit more as if that’s more of a primal instinct than it is typical anger. There is a scene during their battle where Keith has fangs and his eyes are very Galran with triangulated pupils/irises and yellow tinted backing.
And he takes on multiple galran features throughout this battle, walking away with the galran mark on his cheek at the very end of their battle, which I will talk about more later as well. But when keith becomes emotionally agitated, specifically during battle, he has the ability to channel his inner Galra. Literally. And he doesn’t even know he is doing it. He spent months trying to prove that he isn’t some feral beast and he almost lost it during this fight. It leaves the terrifying lingering thought of “what if he hadn’t snapped out of it?” and I totally think that we will be seeing more of this, specifically the inner turmoil with keith throughout the series. But Honerva (and probably only Honerva because she is the only one besides keith who witnessed this fight- she saw the whole thing through clone shiro’s eyes) knows about all of this, and I think that she is going to take full advantage.
Honerva will poke at Keith’s insecurities during a battle, similar to how Shiro’s clone did, and try to cut him off from the other paladins. But here, since Keith has nothing holding him back, he wont turn back once he starts to take on those Galran traits and become feral. It will probably happen a few episodes in, during which Keith becomes more and more agitated by the other paladins. And yeah, I am totally predicting a full on Keith Galra transformation once he get pushed over the edge by Honerva. After which, Honerva will convince him that he is a monster and that his friends won’t accept him like this. Keith, already believing this himself, goes with her. They don’t take the black lion with them, it will be left behind, because Honerva doesn’t need it and it symbolizes that Keith is leaving behind his life as a paladin.
Who will Pilot the Black Lion?
Not Coran. Sorry, that's a definite no. Just because everytime he has attempted to pilot a lion, it's been a big joke and giving that privilege to him now would just come across as a joke too. And I would love to say that Shiro will temporarily go back to piloting the black lion, but he needs to Pilot the ATLAS. So that leaves an opening for a pilot and we have several options for how things could continue. One of our current pilots could take on the position of being the pilot of the black lion. The most likely of our four remaining paladins to do this are Allura and Lance. Allura has been acting as sort of the leader of the group since the very beginning, but when it comes down to it she has made very little emotional growth throughout the series. She may make a good leader, but she isn’t mature enough to properly lead the paladins they way they need to be lead as Voltron. When is comes down to the tough decisions she tends to make the right decision overall, but her general actions are very volatile. Like when she was handling Lotor, her words were very harsh. She was attacking him verbally where she knew it would hurt, which is actually very childish. This would mean that she can’t actually talk Keith out of his current mindset, if anything she would only go to enrage him more.
Lance on the other hand has been shown to have made huge strides in his emotional growth. But is he ready to lead? He is the current pilot of red making it seem that if Keith were to run off that he would take over piloting the black lion, like how Keith took over after Shiro. I think that losing Keith again would ignite a change in Lance. But would it be enough?
Either way we still have an opening for a new pilot. Personally I think we have 2 possibilities. Lotor. JK. No, as much as I think it would think it’s awesome to bring lotor back and have him pilot one of the lions, with the probabilities of Keith leaving in the first half of the season being really high, there just isn’t a logical time to place Lotor being extracted from the quantum rift by either Voltron or Honerva. Yet. So our two actual options are probably going to be Acxa and Matthew Holt. They are the only two characters that have gotten enough devoted screen time to take a place piloting one of lions. We know that they are both talented pilots and warriors and their personalities would fit well with any openings in the dynamic.
Personally I believe that the best combination for this scenario would be with Lance piloting Black, Allura piloting Red, and Acxa piloting blue. Acxa is pretty cool headed, but she is also new to the whole “being good” thing. Although, I think that she would be willing to do whatever she could to help save Keith, because of how much of an inspiration he was to her. I’ve mentioned in a previous post that Acxa was originally save by Keith in the episode “Belly of the Weblum” and that was what inspired her to turn again Zethrid and Ezor. I specifically referenced the specific line “-but I knew that I had to find my own path. And it led me to you.” and how she looked at Keith when she said that. Keith means a lot to Acxa, but not in a romantic sense. He was a big part of her self discovery and as I said before an inspiration to her. Acxa piloting a lion also opens up an option to bring Zethrid and Ezor back into the scene and for the writers of the series to finally have them pick a side. Up until now Zethrid and Ezor have been more chaotic neutrals more than anything else, causing trouble for both sides. It would be nice to see our lesbian babies finally take a chill pill, join the paladins side, and get a nice happily ever after.
What about Allurance?
Hooray, I’m finally getting to the ships. That was sarcastic. Ships are always a very touchy topic for a lot of people, because there are a lot of different opinions out there and some people get really offended. I just want to say that I am not ship bashing, just speculating. This is my opinion on the logical course of action for the show to take. Anyway, so I have made a post before about why allurance shouldn’t become canon. But honestly? I think that Allura and Lances relationship is going to continue to go the way it’s been going. Allura and Lance are going to have several romantic/ flirtatious moments that will progress their relationship and maybe even a kiss. A lot of time passes at the end of Season 7 and so it gives them a lot of time to get closer.
Of course, I still believe everything I said before about this relationship being extremely unstable and it would have an effect on the team too. Particularly, I think it will seriously piss Keith off. Actually, all of the paladins will piss Keith off, but Allura and Lance specifically. Allura is the only paladin that stays focused on the mission and is always suspicious, but she puts her guard down and gets distracted easily when she is in a relationship. Keith is probably the only paladin who doesn’t actually have a life outside of Voltron at this point and is probably very focused on training and being ready in case another one of those random robots comes onto the scene, while everyone else is going to spend their time relaxing with their families or inventing, etc. and so on. So yeah. Boy is gonna be pissed (especially if you take into account his learning about everything that happened while he was gone, aka Lance dying). Hunk will probably think that it’s cute and Pidge will probably think that it’s totally gross. And the whole thing is just going to throw off the team dynamic, which will piss off Keith even more.
But then they are ambushed by Honerva and lets say two or three of those crazy Altean war robots or something and by the end of the battle Honerva retreats with Keith. See, I said earlier that Keith going away with Honerva will ignite a change in Lance and it’s true. Lance has always had a weird sort of obsession with Keith and he get easily pissed off/ hurt whenever Keith does something stupid. It’s a big part of their dynamic. It hit him pretty hard when Keith left to join the blades too, because Lance knows Keith. He can recognize that mullet anywhere. He knew why Keith was really leaving to join the blade and he was concerned.
Lance is going to become more hardened, in a sense, during his confusion with Keith leaving and probably the most determined to find Keith and kick his ass for being an idiot. Although, his obsession with Keith is going to be what finally breaks down his relationship with Allura. It was already really unstable and Lance and Allura will get into a fight, finally expressing their true feelings about their relationship. Allura will confront Lance about his fixation on finding Keith and Lance will blow her off, avoiding the topic, saying that she wouldn’t understand. Allura will continue to push Lance, concerned about what this means for their relationship. Lance will become overwhelmed and express that he feels that Allura is only in a relationship with him because Lotor is dead and he feels like a second choice. Allura will get angry at Lance for trying to compare himself to Lotor and Lance will take this in the wrong way, leading to him breaking things off with Allura and walking away from her. Allura will realize that she doesn’t actually feel hurt by Lance breaking up with her, because she didn’t have serious feelings for him. So yes, Allurance will be canon, but it will also be short lived, because of how unstable the relationship is.
What does this mean for Klance?
Well, there is an opening for Klance to happen, but its small and so they would have to play all their card right, but they are in a current position where they could make Klance canon. Although, it would be more towards the end of the show, as a resolve after having saved Keith from his own self destructive path, which is basically going to be one of the seasons bigger climaxes. But we will see some Klance pining moments, more specifically played out and hinted out through Lance. We will see some of this when Shiro comes out to the team as gay, but more of it when Shiro confronts Lance about his fixation on Keith after he breaks up with Allura. Although most actual Klance scenes will probably be more at the season finale so I will talk more about this later.
How to save Keith?
People have pointed out a lot of parallels between Lance and Alfor and Keith and Zarkon. So, some of the dedicated fans/ theorists probably have already figured out where I’m going with this. There has been a theory going around about there being a fight between Keith and Lance in Season 8, where Lance has his sword and him and Keith are doing hardcore one on one battle. And I honestly feel that this is going to be a necessary moment for the two of them.
This moment will likely be the first time any of the Paladins actually see Keith since his Galra transformation and Lance will immediately understand why Keith went with Haggar. Although, the two of them are terrible at communicating their feelings so they will have a full on battle. During all of this the other paladin and ATLAS will very likely be in battle with the Altean Robots, while Honerva is trying to open a portal into the quantum rift using the quintessence she got from Keith. And as everything explodes and the chaos goes down around the two of them are trying to beat the living shit out of each other somewhere on honervas ship. At some point, Lance will appeal to Keith’s emotional side and snap out of it telling him that he accepts him no matter what (and this would be a perfect opportunity to have them kiss, just saying) and the two of them walk out of there together.
How will they stop Honerva?
They won’t. With an army of insanely powerful Altean robots on her side, she will be able to successfully open the portal to the rift. So, what now? Well, I personally believe that Honerva will salvage Lotors ship from the rift and try to resurrect her son, but something will go wrong because of his overexposure to the raw quintessence in the rift. Which would cause Honerva to become overwhelmed with grief and she will either die or become incapacitated. I also believe that we will see a return of the dark monsters from in the rift and that the Galra (brought in by Zethrid and Ezor), Alteans, team Voltron, and ATLAS will have to team up in order to get rid of all the monsters and close the portal to the rift. It would be one big final fight to clean up the mess that started 10,000 years ago.
The aftermath:
The universe will be ushered into a new Era of peace. It will be a combined effort of the Galra empire, the Altean empire, the Blades, the Rebellion, Earth, and Voltron. Although, after 6-7 years of fighting in a war our Paladins would all finally retire from piloting the lions and the new team will take over, traveling the universe with the ATLAS and keeping peace, training under Shiro’s guidance. Wait, what new team? You know, these guys:
So yeah, they will be the new Paladins. But what will happen to our other Paladins? Well, Allura will take her place as rightful Queen of the Alteans with Romelle acting as her royal advisor, as Coran will be off with Shiro piloting the ATLAS and training the new paladins. Pidge will probably end up staying with her family on Earth, the Holts finally getting their peaceful happy ending, all of them together again. Hunk will end up with Shay living either on the Balmera or on Earth, which are right next to each other now so it doesn’t matter much. Krolia and Kolivan will continue to reestablish the Blade. And then, finally, there are Keith and Lance. I know, this is what everyone has been waiting for.
So I’m just going to straight up say that Keith becomes the next emperor of the Galra Empire. I don’t really have much for evidence for this besides the fact that Zarkon was the ex-emperor and that Keith has several parallels to him throughout the series and that him turning full Galra and his emotional growth throughout the series has made him into a great leader. Keith at the end of the series, doesn’t really have anywhere to go, because his mom is with the blades and he doesn’t really have any other family to go back to. If you think about it, it just kind of feels right, because Acxa already has a lot of respect for Keith and it would be pretty easy to persuade Zethrid and Ezor to respect him after everything that all of the half bloods have been through, Keith included. And so those three will act as his general as he brings order to the Galra empire.
What about Lance? Where is Klance? I am happy to say that I think that Lance will end up with Keith in the end and rule the Galra empire by Keith's side. Lance will be what reminds Keith of his humanity and keeps him balanced throughout his reign. He will provide Keith with the proper support that he has always needed, not to mention a whole new family to be a part of. And of course Cosmo would be the royal dog and blah blah blah. And yeah, just happy endings.
Hope you enjoyed, and feel free tell me what you think about all of this! Thanks for sticking with me!

bill imagine
PART ONE
notes: so, this is was for a fanfic, but I decided do a imagine with some parts. is not bill x reader. I already made a character, elleonora and I hope you all like it. plus: Bill is a fighter, so... yeah.
I look at my reflection in the mirror for the last time. It was like torture,a sweet and slow torture. The edges were worn and needed to be retouched immediately. Right on the edge, there was a polaroid that breaks my heart every time I looked at her. The photo was taken in a moment where Bill and I were on the ice rink and for some reason there were lights scattered all over the place. It was romantic and memorable. His look on me was overflowing with love, and my smile to him, as passionate as possible.
I sigh tired trying to get rid of those memories. Now, we are not a couple anymore and my heart tightens every time I look at this picture. And if I closed my eyes for a few seconds, I could still smell his scent, his voice husky and calm in my ear telling me that he loves me or his tight embrace made me feel safe. Remembering how finished was particularly painful to deal with…
So I remembered…
“I could hardly look at him. It was hurting in me. It was getting to me slowly seeing him like that. His face was finished. Beyond the scar of years ago, there were cuts by the lips, cheek and eyebrow and a big purple in the apple of the face. The illegal fights were ending him, but his ambition was bigger than self-love and he let himself end up in that frightening way.
“I can’t do this anymore.” I say at once and I feel a hot tear trickle down my face.
Bill’s eyes are wet and his jaw locked while he stares at me impassively, I can barely make out what he’s feeling … Fear? Ache? Rage? I simply can’t.
“What do you mean?” his voice is hard and harsh, the voice that makes me tense and makes me shiver.
“I can’t be with you anymore.” I reveal my gaze between the opaque green of his eyes and the bruises marking his delicate skin. I sigh and let more tears surround me. “I can’t see you killing yourself. I can’t.” I gesture desperately.
“What the fuck?” he runs his hands over his face so that he is losing his temper. “Why do you want to do that? Why do you want to leave me?” he approaches in two steps and looks deep into my eyes making me intimidated.
“Because you’re killing yourself and I can’t see it knowing I can’t do anything!” I shout through tears, and I expect no other reaction than my own.
“I don’t give a fuck!” he runs his hands through his hair and I swear he was pulling his hair with some force.
“That’s the problem. I care too much to see you wreck yourself with these fights and the alcohol…” I run my hand over my face. “It’s over, Bill.”
I don’t know what happened, but then his gaze collapsed. The glow was gone, and his features changed automatically. Maybe he realized I was serious when he said he couldn’t stay with him anymore.
“No…” he nods his head repeatedly. “No, babe, no. Don’t do this to me, you know I need you…” he tried to reach my face with his hands, but I managed to escape. And before he could speak or do anything, I open the door and see him in it, with a tear trailing in his cuts and eyes staring at me with unimaginable pain.
“You made your choice, I’m sorry.” I shake my head, denying it, and I close the door behind me. I don’t hear a single noise, but when I am ready to enter the elevator, he opens the door so quickly and his agonized gestures catch my attention.
“Don’t go.”
“Goodbye, Bill.” I go inside and the door closes, so I end up collapsing inside the elevator.“
I come back to reality when my phone vibrates on top of the dressing table and I see a message from Jasmine, saying that everyone was already at the bar. I answer quickly and finish my make up. I draw the outline of the lips with the dark red lipstick and mess the blond strands of my hair that is completely flat. I like it that way.
I say goodbye to Tobias (my cat I won on my birthday, my ex boyfriend Bill who gave me and we ended up taking care of him together, but I decided that I would stay with him after all) and I keep my phone.
The taxi is waiting for me on the sidewalk and I make every effort to get inside the car and go to the bar where my friends are. It turns out that since my breakup with Bill, they think I’ve ended up isolating myself and somehow needed to have some fun. All I wanted was to stay home with Tobias, order pizza with extra cheese, and watch every possible episode of Friends. But not. I decided to leave home in the middle of Saturday night to try to have fun, just try.
When I arrived in the middle of the Flume (bar where I used to hang out with Bill and our friends) the feeling of nostalgia invades me and I spend some time staring at the lighted entrance in rustic tones with the dark glasses and I only realize that I’m in the taxi when driver catches my attention because he needed the payment. I apologize and paid him.
When I push the bar door, I see my friends away. Jasmine, Ed and Cole. I smile and wave at them, Jamine’s gaze to me becomes a little desperate and I don’t understand very well, I can only decipher what their bouncing eyes mean when I see the color of their light brown hair next to Cole I swallow hard and stop in the middle of the path, my hands begin to sweat in a weird way and my throat is dry. I think about turning around to leave, but unfortunately Cole sees me and raises his arms waving at me. The music is a little high, but I swear I could hear the beating of my heart.
“Elle!” Cole says scandalously and makes everyone at the table turn their heads in my direction. Even him.
My heart misses the beat when our eyes meet. There’s the same opaque green that I used to love so much, the same pale skin and soft, the same look. The cuts were gone, and I assumed he had taken great care of himself while he was alone, which is too good to be honest.
He doesn’t take his gaze from me, to be honest I expected a little more amazement from him, but he’s so peaceful it makes me uncomfortable. Why is not he bothered by my presence? Has he already forgotten me? The questions close when Jasmine touches my arm in a friendly way.
“Sit here.” I just agree and force a slightly shaky smile. I’m still sweating with excitement, and Bill’s gaze on me doesn’t help.
“You look beautiful, Elle.” Ed comments and I smile and thank.
Then it all starts to get a little weird.
Ed looks at Jasmine who glares at Cole. The things gets heavy and I feel bad for being there in front of Bill after all this time, not so much, but there were weeks since we’d finished and he looked so good…
That’s awful.
“I’ll get something to drink.” I say suddenly and Jasmine nods, thanking God that I’ve been leaving the table for a few minutes.
I feel a sharp shiver running down my spine as I leave the table and find myself at the counter. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. It’s like I’m going to faint at any moment, my body is gathering strength to face the situation.
“What do you want?” the bartender says and I just say I want something strong, because to withstand my ex boyfriend at the same table as me and my friends, I’ll need a good dose of alcohol.
While I wait for the man to prepare my drink, I come across a blond man beside me, calmly drinking his beer. Light-colored eyes, the stubble to be made, and the great feeling that I know him from somewhere. He turns and my heart races in a rapturous way. It’s Bradley, my ex boyfriend.
“Elleonora?” he says a little surprised and confused.
“Brad…?”
“Fuck, Elle” he puts the beer on his side and holds me tight. “How long time.” I look at him as he loosens me from his arms.
“Yeah, a long time.” I answer with a smile.
“Are you here alone?” I know there are intentions in your question, but I decide to ignore it.
“I’m actually with some friends.” I look over Brad’s shoulder and see the table where I was. I sigh and look at him again. “You want to join us?” I only realize the stupidity I say when I remember Bill being here.
I literally invited my ex to sit at the table with my current ex boyfriend.
What the fuck.
He smiles weakly and grabs his beer and then my glass that has been on the counter for some time and I didn’t realize it.
“Of course.”
I breathe deeply feeling my stomach wrap. When I get to the table, everyone looks at me, including Bill who when sees Brad, closes his face at once and I swear I see something in his eyes.
“Uhm, guys do you remember Brad, right?” I say and sit down next to Jasmine.
“Course, you dated Elle, right?” Cole asks, and when he realizes what he has said, he looks at me a bit suspiciously.
Thank you, Cole.
“Yes, I dated Elleonora, but unfortunately we broke up.” Brad says in a half smile and I gulp down my drink, which descends ripping like a sharp knife in my throat. Out of the corner of my eye, I see Bill giggle as he takes another sip at his beer.
“Anyway, were not you in Norway?” I ask to try to break the weird thing between us, if at all possible.
“Yes, I came back last month.” he smiles at me sweetly.
“Should have stayed there.” I hear Bill’s quiet voice in a whisper and automatically look at him, who barely looks at me. I hope Brad has not listened.
“Must be a great place.” Jasmine says trying to get involved in the conversation.
“Oh, yeah!” Bradley gets excited about it. “I wish Elle had traveled with me, it’s definitely a wonderful place.” I swallow my drink by force.
“Who wants more beer?” Ed asks loudly, and Bill raises his hand to Jasmine. “Great, I’ll be right back.” then he leaves.
“And what have you been up to, Elle?” It strikes me that the conversation is focused on me, being the center of attention irritates me, I feel uncomfortable.
“Just working in the studio and doing some outside work as a model.” I smile weakly.
“Model? Wow.” Brad says laughing. “I always knew you were getting on with it. You are so beautiful.” I hold my breath and smile, thanking him for the compliment.
“Asshole.” this time didn’t come close to a whisper, everyone looked at Bill and my heart stopped.
“Sorry. What?” Brad turns away and laughs.
“Asshole. Do you really think that with these stupid things she’s coming back to you?” he wet his lips and looks at me quickly and then at Brad. “Because she won’t.”
“Bill.” I’m serious, but I’m ignored.
“Oh, so you’re the Elleonora’s ex-shit.” Brad laughs a little loudly and raises his eyebrow. “No wonder why she’s done with you, bro.”
“Guys…” Jasmine dares to say, but again, ignored.
“At least I gave her what she wanted.” I open my eyes to the sexual innuendo Bill does when he says it. Brad turns slowly to him and I see his face turn red. “At least I treated her like she deserved, not as a piece of shit as you did.”
“For goodness sake, stop with that shit!” I say loudly and they both look at me. “Can you two be adults for a fucking night and acting like normal people, not animals? Jesus!“ at that time of the championship there was a couple looking at our table and Ed is standing in front of the table looking at everything with wide eyes. “You know what? I’m out of here.”
“Elle, no.” Jasmine says trying to make me stay, but I can’t.
“Sorry for ruining your night, guys.” I say completely bland and turn around.
I get some glances from curious people and I ignore it. I try to leave as soon as possible and as soon as I can breathe a little of the outdoors my body starts to feel the heavy drops of rain that is falling.
I leave the bar so breathless that I barely noticed that a terrible storm is coming out here.

Your Dictator’s Works: Rabid Avenger
May this be the last time I make a big post/essay about Tokyo Ghoul.
Finally, I’m no longer distracted by MMOs, fighting games, or Fire Emblem Warriors, it’s time to finally cross this off the list of essays I need to finish this month. This is something I’ve been wanting to talk about for months now, but I needed some time to get a start on the latest fanfiction before I did it.
So yes, fanfics. I love a good a fanfic, and writing them as well. A the moment I’ve been working on a Tokyo Ghoul called Rabid Avenger, an action fanfic that focuses on Touka Kirishima. And while I’m about to get to work on chapter 3 I figured could take a moment to describe my process of writing fanfics, my preferences, how I go about writing them, etc.
Allen’s Preferences/Inspiration
Y’know... I was going to go into this long spiel about what I personally like to read, watch, and consume in terms of my media and genre preferences and how that played into me writing this specific fanfic, but there’s a quote of something I wrote about a year ago that explains my preferences perfectly, so I’ll just copy and paste that here.
“...[I]f there’s anything I love more than watching shows about cute anime girls, it’s... cute anime girls BEATING THE LIVING SHIT OUT OF PEOPLE IN ONE-ON-ONE HAND-TO-HAND COMBAT.”
I think that quote speaks for itself, but just to go a little further in depth I tend to prefer action-focused series, shows, and books that have a female protagonist. The Maximum Ride series (at least until book 4 happened), Nanoha Vivid, A Certain Scientific Railgun, Soul Eater, Senran Kagura, the list goes on. Sadly, there aren’t too many fanfics that have female characters doing shounen-esque things in them, few that hit any notes with me anyway.
And you know the saying: make the content you want to see.
So slowly, but surely I’ve been trying to write up some stories that have my favorite heroines duking it out with forces known and unknown in their series. I’ll spare you all the list I’ve written and attempted to write, but Touka Kirishima and Tokyo Ghoul were next on my list of action fanfics to write. And so... Rabid Avenger was born after 3 or 4 rewrites of the first chapter.
Just a quick summary, Rabid Avenger is something of a what-if/AU/Expansion of what Touka does after Part 1 on Tokyo Ghoul. Not wanting to feel helpless like she was during the raid on the 20th Ward, Touka moves to the 11th Ward where Aogiri is based to train herself to get stronger by hunting down CCG Investigators in the area, as well as deal with Aogiri directly after the mess they caused that led to Anteiku being destroyed. I plan for this fanfic to be something of a battle series with Touka facing off against not only CCG Investigators, but members of Aogiri as well as factions and powers beyond her start to move and she slowly pieces together what’s going on in the Ward.
Yeah, it’s really shounen by design, but I hope it’ll turn out well.
The Research Phase
This brings me to how exactly I write up most of my fanfics. Before I make any fanfic I usually take anywhere between 3 days to a little over a week to research the universe and lore of the series I’m writing. I read up on namely the characters I want to use, the world’s power/magic system, a general plot synopsis on what happens before and after the canon point I’m writing at, and the list goes on depending on where I want to take the story. I do most of my research by reading the wiki page of whatever series I’m writing the fanfic for to an almost religious point. I practically have the Tokyo Ghoul wiki bookmark at this point I’ve been to the site so often. Rabid Avenger took about a week and a half before I started writing the fanfic, and I still go back to just make sure I’m consistent with how the characters behave and the terms I use.
In terms of researching characters for Rabid Avenger I looked up information on Touka, Renji, Ayato, Eto, Akira, and Roma as I plan on having these 6 be the main cast.
And boy, as someone that said they weren’t planning on reading :Re I got spoiled by a quite a bit of things.
Literally every character I just listed makes some big move or has some big twist to them in the second series. It was... shocking to say the least, given what I wanted to do with some of these character, Ayato and Roma especially, but I think I can still make it work despite... spoiler things throwing a bit of a wrench in the works for some meet-ups and battles I want to make happen.
The next thing I researched were the kagune and quinque. This was mostly to make sure I could properly write how they could be used in battle strategies, namely Touka’s. I still find this to be a compelling battle system. Every kagune has a strength and weakness, as well as a way to cover up that weakness, and every quinque is just as unique if not more. I haven’t had a chance to write about battle strategy in this specific fanfic yet, but this’ll probably be the most challenging part due to Touka’s personality. Touka isn’t a person that really makes plans when fighting, usually going by instinct, so a lot of the battle strategy will more than likely come from her enemies more than herself and her constantly paying for her rash behavior. It’s something I can use for character development as she slowly becomes a smarter fighter.
And lastly, for this fanfic I actually didn’t have to look up too much in terms of plot synopsis, as this takes place after Part 1 of Tokyo Ghoul ends and I have a physical copy of the series at arms reach. If anything, I have to look back at the first few chapters to get an idea of how Touka fights and acts in tense situations, but this part of the research really didn’t need much... well, research.
Writing Phase
So once all the research is done I get to writing. That’s usually just me locking myself in my room and forcing myself to write something until I come up with a 1000-word draft, then I edit it, adding bits here and there, contextualizing everything, adding some more character into each paragraph and dialogue, stuff like that. Then I proofread it once or twice (or thrice), then post.
...
...
...
Yeah, that’s right folks, a lot of the writing process is just forcing yourself to write.
A quick tangent before I continue, but something that’s always bugged me in certain writing circles is the idea of waiting for inspiration to come to you before write. Folks, I can honestly say that if you want to write a story or essay or anything, you have to force it out. Inspiration and the like will come when you’re about half way through writing your work when you start seeing more paragraphs in the first draft and less dialogue, or as you go through the editing process and just start adding bits. This very essay I’m writing now was just a few short 3 paragraphs I forced myself to jot down before getting to the editing process and now it’s over ten paragraphs and three parts. Just... lock yourself in your rooms and write if you want to write something.
But back on topic.
Like I said before, Rabid Avenger’s first chapter went through about 3 or 4 drafts before I was happy with it. It mostly came down to where I wanted to end the first chapter. The idea I wanted to play in the first chapter was that Touka was currently a hunter and, well, avenger for the ghouls of the 11th Ward that couldn’t defend themselves, give her a sympathetic cause for people to latch onto. We already know that Aogiri enslaves weaker ghouls and forces them into their fold, so having Touka being something of a vigilante against them seemed like a good way to get people to root for her. Once I established that I ended the chapter with something temporarily upset the status quo I had built up. Nothing that changes the plot, but introducing Akira helped add a bit of tension to the situation. This idea comes from a youtuber of the channel Overly Sarcastic Productions: establish normality, then take it away. I’ll admit, beginnings are never my forte when it comes to writing, and I always end up hating mine, but I think this concept helps me a little when it comes to dealing with my openings.
And finally, the proofreading phase. This is the hardest part since I’m still catching errors after the third reread and even after a fourth or fifth I still see error. Hell, you guys have probably found three or four in this essay, but... them’s the breaks I guess, it’s just a weakness of mine that I’m slowly, but surely getting better at.
Writing Fight Scenes
This is probably something I could go on about for paragraphs, but I’ll keep this short. Like I said before, I prefer writing, reading, and watching more action focused stories in a way similar to shounen. In terms of writing, I think the best thing I’ve read so far that hits my niche taste in terms of combat writing is currently the light novel series Magical Girl Raising Project. The fights in that series are usually done both in a surprisingly realistic fashion and written in a way that is paced well.
With this fanfic specifically I think the only hard part is properly writing in how kagune and quinque will play a part in the combat. And thankfully, I don’t have to worry about the pacing a fight being killed due to some flashier, bombastic power system that’ll have me be describing energy blasts and DBZ beam struggles. I think the flashiest thing in Part 1 was the concept of the kakuja, and I don’t plan on making that much of a thing in the fanfic in terms of combat, so I think I’m good there.
Ah, but back on topic. Despite my love and experience in writing them, fight scenes can be difficult to properly write since describing a lot of the flash ruins the pacing of the fight as a reader reads it. The best way to keep the tension and pacing a fight is to keep things short in terms of action, using the “hardest” adjectives you can, understanding that most fights end in only a few hits unless it’s something like a sanctioned MMA match or the like. Most of the advice I got for writing action comes from this post here, but a quick summary is to just remember IRL fights are quick and nasty, some liberties can be taken for the sake of narrative and flash, but just remember to keep them believable to an extent.
I mean, we’re talking about anime characters that can tank getting tossed into a wall and walk it off like it’s nothing after all, especially in a series as violent and brutal as Tokyo Ghoul.
Cameos
This is something I do specifically for my fanfics. When I need a character for something and no one in the immediate case can fit it for some reason I’ll usually stick in a Cameo of something that can. I did this a lot in my fanfic, Reversal Princess by using obscure fighting game characters for Aoi Umenokoji to fight and be rivals with since I couldn’t logically have Brad Burns just randomly appear in Japan and bug Aoi, and I... kinda’ forgot a Akira Yuki existed until around chapter 6. So, I had Yuka Takeuchi from Variable Geo be Aoi’s friendly rival for awhile, and played around with the fact that she canonically had siblings to make a more hostile rival in the form of Kuro, who’s based off of Kasumi Todoh from KoF.
Tokyo Ghoul is a little trickier since the cast is already large enough as is. You’d think that would mean I wouldn’t have stick in OCs or cameos, but I actually do. See, since Touka is, well, killing CCG and Aogiri members I can’t really use too many named cast members as fodder for her to kill. Akira is meant to be a main antagonist for Touka to hate and want to kill, not be killed off in the beginning as the first villain. So, I’ll have to make a few other characters to be the fodder/villains of the week for Touka to take out before having any main cast member outside of Akira and Eto being a real opponent. I’ve already got a few ideas in terms of what characters I’ll be using. I don’t want to spoil anything, but I’ll just say they’re from some niche JRPGs I’ve been playing for the last few months or so.
General Writing Stuff
Before I close out this little essay I think I’ll just talk about some writing things and my short (read: blunt) opinions on certain aspects of writing and how I write in general.
The next time I read the phrase “said is dead” I’m blocking that blog. Said is not dead, it’s a perfectly fine verb to use when characters are just casually talking and you need to reaffirm who’s speaking what line in a conversation.
While I personally use adverbs sparingly for the sake of flow in my combat scenes I don’t see an issue with them so long as they aren’t over used. This allergic reaction to seeing adverbs is just stupid.
Purple prose is the spawn of Satan himself and people need to understand that more words do not equal a better story.
Why literally every action fanfic featuring that one side character in that obscure series I like is in Indonesian I will never know. That’s not a writing thing, that’s just me whining.
And I believe that’s it for this Dictator’s Works. Hopefully chapter 3 will wrap up before the end of this week. I’m still in the process of editing, so... who knows how long that’ll take. Seeing how this essay took all day I’m gonna’ take a break and play some Under Night In-Birth again, hopefully actually beat a Gordeau this time around online. In any case, I’ll see you all later.

In defense of Rey
Alternatively titled, “There’s a shit ton of things wrong with the Star Wars Sequel trilogy but Rey being a so-called Mary Sue isn’t one of them, Jesus Christ guys it’s been four years can we not-“
((This was born thanks to a post which compared The Child aka Baby Yoda’s innate abilities to use the force despite being a literal toddler to Rey’s force abilities despite her ‘lack of training’, and the hypocrisy of the fandom in accepting one at face value and not the other. Obviously, I agreed, but when the fuck boys come out to play so do my twelve paragraphs lol fight me))
———
People love to compare Rey to Luke and Anakin, and claim that she’s a Mary Sue because she naturally awoke to some of her Jedi abilities, such as her ability to fight, fly with expert ease, as well as her innate understanding of the force. What people love to forget is that the circumstances of their lifestyles naturally led to different development rates toward their innate abilities while using the force. I’d like to include Leia in this as well.
On the bottom rung of the “I can use my force powers right off the bat” we have Luke. Luke grew up as a farm boy in middle-of-nowhere Tatooine, who had little to no reason to use any of his force abilities beyond flying, where he developed his famed capacity to be a pilot. He was raised in a relatively safe environment, protected from the war and conflict that was happening throughout much of the galaxy, and his greatest grievances were simply not being allowed to join the rest of his friends at the academy because he had to keep farming. Out of all four characters he had the most ‘normal’ day to day upbringing, and thus many of a Jedi’s abilities were not developed in the slightest- meaning he had the most to train and the most to learn.
Not too far ahead on the rung is Leia. I’d like to examine her as well, because she had a similarly ‘protected’ upbringing as Luke (in some ways even more so, being a princess and all) and thus did not have the chance to develop many of her innate force skills until later in life. However, Leia was not any spoiled princess laying around in riches. Leia was exposed to politics and warfare and the rebel cause her ENTIRE life, watching her (adoptive) parents not only actively participate in the rebel alliance but practically lead it.
She clearly had some training with weapons, knowing enough to be able to handle several firearms throughout the series, and most importantly- she learned strategy, she learned tactical knowledge and leadership skills, she learned patience and focus, self-awareness, and most importantly the ability to think calmly in a desperate situation. The latter of these skills are all absolutely essential to a Jedi and absolutely form part of the training they undergo, which means all she needed to complete her training was the more physical aspect, and which is why historically in the original trilogy she had far more patience and resilience than Luke when things (invariably) went wrong.
Higher up on the rung is Anakin. Anakin was also raised on Tatooine, but his experience of the planet was far different from Luke’s. His Tatooine was a bustling trade center and full of crime- and he was born a slave in these conditions. Exposed to both mechanical knowledge and more hard labor (carrying parts, repairing parts and ships, and so forth) Anakin had the opportunity to build up some more core strength, and his infamous flying abilities (which honed his reflexes) were also given the opportunity to grow thanks to his exposure and participation in pod racing.
For all intents and purposes Anakin is the saga’s Jesus figure, the “one”, canonically conceived by Midichlorians and a singular entity in his strength and potential regarding the force. However, we don’t see his innate fighting abilities as a child because there is simply no reason to within the scope of the storytelling in the films, and no opportunity either. It also makes sense that Anakin would not NEED to worry too much about fighting or defending himself- as a slave he is property, and would not be touched unless the aggressor was ready to pay Watto for his loss of property, or be penalized for “breaking” what was not theirs.
The little we DO understand of Anakin’s personality is that as a slave, he was raised with an understandable self-constraint (in order to perform his duties well and not have himself or his mother punished) which may have also delayed some of his development; once the constraints of a slave were removed, we are shot forward 10 years and we met a nineteen year who is vastly changed and light years ahead in his use of the force and understanding of his own abilities, the same age his children were when coming into contact with the Force.
Obviously, Anakin is the most developed in terms of formal training by this point in time, as Luke, Leia and Rey were only just introduced to the concept of the Force, and had to, as Yoda said, “Unlearn what [they] have learned.” Nevertheless, narratively we are not given much of an opportunity to see his innate force abilities so much as we are told that they are singular and unique- enough to allow him to be trained at what was already considered an ‘old’ age for a Jedi.
Finally, Rey.
Rey is abandoned and orphaned at about the same age as Anakin was when found by Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan. Unfortunately for her, there was no salvation waiting- we are shown and told that she lived alone, practically enslaved in order to survive. This is a girl who learns to climb massive wrecks of spaceships and learns to not only identify the various complicated components but how to take them apart, clean them, repair them, and reassemble them- because doing so means a better meal and future opportunities to keep eating. This is a girl who is forced to learn how to defend herself, who actively fights for her life- because if she allows others to steal the parts she already risked her life to collect, then she risks starvation. Not to mention the obvious implications of young, attractive woman living by herself in a deserted, practically lawless land. Unlike the other three- Luke, Leía, and Anakin- Rey had no protections and no guarantees when it came to her safety, and thus had to learn to fight and defend herself; honing those natural force abilities from an early age in order to keep herself safe.
Furthermore, Rey is isolated. We see that she has no viable “friends” on Jakku, and keeps a pleasant but safe distance from others. That sort of solitude invites introspection- which can only help train the meditative aspects that form part of that famed Jedi calmness and mindfulness. I don’t find it hard to believe whatsoever that Rey may have been able to identify something within herself that was ‘different’ - just as Anakin, Leia, and Luke all claimed to have understood at various parts of their respective journeys.
What is also but briefly seen and not explored in the films, but IS explained in the supplementary novels is that Rey possessed an old flight simulator, as shown here:
“She’d jury-rigged a computer using pieces scavenged from several crashed fighters over the years, including a cracked but still-usable display from an old BTL-A4 Y-wing. There were no radio communications to speak of—no way to transmit or receive and, frankly, nobody she wanted to talk to anyway. On the wreckage of a Zephra-series hauler, though, she’d once found a stash of data chips, and after painstakingly going through each and every one of them, she’d discovered three with their programs intact; one of them, to her delight, had been a flight simulator.
So when she wasn’t sleeping or just sitting and listening to the storm or tinkering at her workbench, she flew. It was a good program, or at least she imagined it was. She could select any number of ships to fly, from small repulsor-driven atmospheric craft to a wide variety of fighters, all the way up to an array of stock freighters. She could set destinations, worlds she’d never visited and never imagined she would, and scenarios, from speed runs to obsta“cle courses to system failures.
At first, she’d been truly horrible at it, quite literally crashing a few seconds after takeoff every time. With nothing else to do, and with a perverse sense of determination that she would not allow herself to be beaten by a machine that she herself had put together with her own hands, she learned. She learned so much that there was little the program could throw her way that would challenge her now. She’d gotten to the point where she would, quite deliberately, do everything she could think of to make things hard on herself, just to see if she could get out of it. Full-throttle atmospheric reentry with repulsor-engine failure? No sweat. Multiple hull breach deep-space engine flameout? A walk in the park.”
Far beyond a nine year old instinctively knowing how to pilot a Jet Engine Chariot AND a space fighter (I’m looking at you, Anakin), we see that Rey has indeed received some training in flying, and that she has been diligently training all her youth to be as damn good as she is when we finally catch up to her in TFA. This, in addition to her fighting skills honed from a need to survive, and a meditative self-awareness from growing up practically isolated, means that Rey is uniquely prepared in a way not unlike the younglings were prepared to fully embrace and use her force abilities- once she becomes aware of what they actually are.
Rey is not a Mary Sue. Her abilities did not come out of the blue, but were honed during her entire childhood in order to survive in the ruthless circumstances in which she found herself. Her skills at fighting, flying, and understanding of the force all have a precedent- and once the final piece of the puzzle in the form of recognition that what she’s felt her whole life is The Force, combined with the legacy and legend that comes from knowing the exploits of Luke, Leia and Han, then there is no reason to doubt why she takes to it so naturally. Ultimately, We know that the force not only enhances abilities, but guides their users in how to access them and use them.

is that ÉLODIE YUNG? no, that’s JESSICA DREW also known by some as SPIDER-WOMAN but the world thinks she is just a PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR. if i’m not mistaken SHE is PHYSICALLY TWENTY-NINE and she was AGAINST the hero ban. ( jane / she/her / twenty / nzt )
hi everyone!! so this is jess
while her backstory is the same as her comic backstory (well, sort of), i’mma break it down real quick (bc even if you’ve read her comics and stuff, she’s had like three different backstories with all the retconning marvel have done about her lol) —— this is mostly based on the original origins (why someone thought combining a dna splicing laser with a womb was a good idea is beyond me) but the lines between the origins are blurry at best so there may be some crossover
like jess herself says, she “went to hail hydra high school and nick fury university” —— my poor babe has been shuttled around all these terrible shadowy agencies her whole life lol
ok so her parents are jonathan and merriem drew
they thought a lab with the high evolutionary at wundagore mountain was a great place to raise their lil girl, esp when they found uranium to get $$$, so that’s where jess grew up
or would have been if she didn’t contract uranium poisoning from the constant radiation
her dad was super into spiders and injected her w irradiated experimental spider serum made up of the dna of several uncommon spider species to try save her
the serum required incubation so wyndham (high evolutionary aka her daddio’s bestie) put her in a genetic accelerator
whilst in this accelerator, she aged at a decelerated rate, which probably nobody would have noticed if she was only in there for the amount of time she was meant to be —— as it was, her mother died and her dad went to america and left her there with wyndham and his creatures, who left her in there for literal decades, at the end of which, she emerged aged only seventeen
(this is why she’s not really sure how old she is; going off her birthdate, she’s Quite An Old Lady, but that’s physically untrue, and even counting how many years it’s been since she emerged from her incubation (which would be difficult even if it was helpful, bc hydra weren’t big on their calendars in the dorms) doesn’t really help because the combination of her decades of decelerated aging + her spider serum have sort of fucked with the regularity of her aging process. she’s making a stab at being probably the physical equivalent to twenty-nine; she assumes that there are some scientists who could tell her (bruce banner or reed richards are fairly decent possibilities) but she’s very aware of the dangers that scientists and intelligence agencies can do with something as revealing as your genetic make-up, and she’d prefer to avoid providing any more of that than they already have information on, thanks)
she felt ostracised by some of the other creations in wundagore and ended up running off to find civilisation, which ended badly and brought her into the arms of hydra
(dun dun dunnnnnn)
through a mixture of manipulation, messing with her mind/memory and brainwashing, hydra recruited her and then set about crafting her into a perfect weapon (including getting taskmaster to train her, which means she’s ace at hand to hand combat but it was also rigorous and awful and just Terrible so seriously, fuck otto vermis)
they also gave her a fake boyfriend who died to convince her to kill nick fury so, you know, they sort of set her up from the get go to have trust issues and a pattern of Bad Relationships
anyway she found out hydra was wrong when she fought nick fury (after taking down all of his men and him going damn) and she didn’t kill him, but she also didn’t join him
she went to go yell at vermis who convinced her she was evolved from a spider. i wish i was making this shit up. she had a crisis of identity (understandably) but eventually was convinced of the truth (that she’s, you know, human, at least originally), dyed her hair black so vermis wouldn’t recognise her, changed up her costume, swapped out the name arachne for spider-woman and also discovered her pheromone powers in more detail which are just. they’re terrible. cause her a lot of grief. people are either repulsed by her or attracted to her and she has no idea why and very little control. nowadays, she mostly wears a pheromone suppressing perfume though she’s been trying to work on control (spoiler alert: it’s going better than her love life, but not by much)
then a lot of stuff happened
she fought morgan le fay, made a friend for once, dated her landlord, broke up with her landlord, thought she died and asked her friend to erase all traces of her from living memory but it’s all right, the spell was faulty and her displaced soul got back into her body which was Good (also somewhere in here she and madame hydra were convinced that hydra was actually her mother, and while that isn’t true — a machination of a villain — madame hydra still acts like it’s true a lot, which sort of makes sense in that hydra is a big part of jess’ history and viper considers herself a personification of hydra, but even if it kinda makes sense, it’s still a bad time and jess is not a fan)
it meant she lost her powers from the ordeal though, and she went about going back to her private investigator gig with her first friend lindsay and hung out in madripoor for two years
her powers came back but then charlotte witter stole them and it was a situation but she’d calmed down and was going around being a PI and having chill for once in her life
her powers came back again but they were wildly unstable and then a hydra agent named connely attacked her and told her to rejoin s.h.i.e.l.d. as a double agent for hydra and they’d sort out her powers; she then went and told fury, who told her to do it and that he’d feed her fake info to fuck w hydra
what actually happened was that when she went to the hydra cell to get her powers sussed, skrulls kidnapped her and queen veranke took over her body and it was just a whole terrible thing and very pivotal for jess bc when she finally came back to earth, a lot of people associated her face with an evil invasion which was just.... great
then she became a sword agent and also a new avenger and then a primary avenger for ages and was still a shield agent though avenger took precedence and then this superhero ban came about
given that she was a p.i. anyway, she just went back to that... and if she sometimes let her punches be a little too hard when she was taking someone down (“i’m a hands-on investigator, sir”) then nobody needs to know that
when the big invasion happened, well, she has a thing about invasions (read: she dislikes them) so of course she suited back up again. she didn’t expect thanks—she’s not known as an optimist—but it reminded her that she’s the sort of type-a thrillseeker who absolutely believes in fighting for things that matter, fighting for a choice——like she told the avengers once, “he didn’t choose to become the hulk. but he gets to choose who the hulk becomes” —— basically agency is very important to jess (understandable, given how much of her history revolves around being messed around in the head and being used as a weapon) and was a main reason why she joined back up
so technically she’s a p.i. but she’s superheroing in secret and constantly rolling her eyes and snarking
she’s 5′10″ of badass motorcycle jackets and quick reflexes, and she likes bacon, punching, motorcycles and taking down bad guys, not necessarily in that order
her powers include pheromones, bioelectric blasts, gliding (which is sort of like flying if you’re high enough, but not enough that she’d turn down a boost from carol or tony or someone), sticking to walls and then a bunch of other effects like being immune to radiation and toxins and stuff + superhuman strength, agility, durability etc. etc. also she’s a rad fighter and trained in a lot of different fighting styles bc of taskmaster, is a skilled spy and also speaks eight languages + she’s an empath which seems to be a development/offshoot from pheromone skills but she hasn’t developed it much yet (at least consciously)
she also never gives up. like even when she should. this is the woman who, when the hulk picks up one of the hammers of the worthy, still went toe-to-toe with him in a battle that was impossible for her to win. (though honestly, a lack of preservation instinct seems like a necessity for avengers’ heroics) —— also speaking of the hulk, her pheromones can sometimes work out, like when it comes to controlling the hulk, but generally they just make life a lot harder for her so. a LOT of pheromone suppressing perfume. if anyone has a science-y character who wants to help her make that or has ideas for training/testing pheromones, pls shout out
THIS IS SO LONG I’M SORRY if anyone made it to here, you deserve a cookie (you’re all too far away for me to actually send cookies rip but i will make a starter for you if you want that instead lol) and pls message me if you want to thread or plot or anything!!

New emperor’s...former emperor
! - OC x canon | Renzu(@ronkeydrawsdb‘s)/Freeza | SFW
i wrote this for her a while ago now but since her oc’s are fINALLY GETTING MORE ATTENTION THANKS YOU HER GORGEOUS ART..i decided to post this thing too. full fic under the cut!
SHRUGS/
after completing several quests and a bit of extra training, the freiza race warrior- no, emperor, returned to his ship. he was tired, but not exhausted. it is important to practice the known moves in order to master them fully. repeating that thought to bold the word 'master', made him slightly flustered.
walking through the hallway, even with quiet steps, he got plenty of attention and show of respect or fear from his new...soldiers.
damn, gaining that status was not something he expected from Freeza at all. despite the two getting very, veeeery close, Freeza did not seem to understand quite fully his tease joke about rebelling against him. though, Renzu did realize how much importance and value his lover had for loyalty, and could not pass such actions as a joke in any way. and fighting him really was a goddamn challenge, did Freeza truly felt betrayed? Renzu sure hoped not. after all, the two were sharing a lot of intimacy till that happened, as well. but hearing Freeza telling him that he is the one to take over his title, could not at any way, pull out from the horned warrior anything else but an extremely confused and mostly shocked expression. might suppose that this reaction was to break Freeza's any possible heavy feeling about betrayal, as he added and stated how he will grow stronger and get his throne back. yes, and his voice and tone were assuring that the golden, short, yet with no doubt, powerful fellow race member was not kidding about making Renzu an emperor. oh, and he sure did made him feel like one. with these thoughts, he did not notice how he walked right into Cooler. quite literally smashing his face against that huge brat's armor.
"excuse me" Renzu tried very much to keep his voice calm and serious. but maybe he overdid it trying too hard to hide any clues of his..inappropriate thoughts.
Cooler let out something similar to a groan, but more of a sound to compare to an old fridge door opening that sounds like a wild monster that will eat you instead of you trying to fetch for a snack. yes, that's about right. and yes, describing as so in his head sure did reminded Renzu he can use his new status just a little to mess with Freeza's brother. Cooler, however, rolled words out of his groan
"just because Freeza gave up on his throne-" he quietly ranted a sentence in between his words; "-that i deserved to have anyways-" and continued "doesn't mean that you’re going to stay up there, you're not the strongest. there will be ones to fight over your place"
it was obvious to Renzu that Cooler just tried to bother and tease the emperor from jealously of his high position. yet, his words did made him think about it more. it has been quite a while since the former ruler passed him his role, and since then haven't even once tried to attempt to claim it back. even though, Renzu had no doubt that his boyfriend trained hard and got stronger. especially after beginning to appreciate the kindness from the ones on the ship without feeling strange about discovering the truth of respect existing beyond fear. a lesson the horned warrior was proud to teach. he even started changing his attitude toward his minions, even reducing the times he yelled at Dodoria to shut his mouth! that was one hell of a progress, that with no doubt, was gained with effort. but now thinking about it again, he did wonder what was the reason Freeza seemed to avoid fighting him..?
"ye-" after an awkward pause, the attempt to respond to Cooler's words was cut off by the sound of clicking footsteps. he stepped back a few more from the former emperor's tall-ass brother. who also backed up for a moment, then moved back to his original stand with a 'hmph'. again with the fridge noises. Freeza strutted in the hallway and came into sight of both clan members that were standing still, as if they were waiting for him. and well, they did, didn't they..?
"o-ya. what are you looking at, you two?" Freeza stopped nearby, a frown weakened by slightly covered eyelids and a raised a muscle above his eye. a grumpy, skeptical glare was drown on the two's priceless faces.
Renzu glanced at the one standing next to him, and with a spark in his might, back at Freeza. "hes trying to challenge me to a fight over the emperor title" the tips of his lips still stretched upwards when he spoke, even though he did try not to laugh or smirk. but the two did not seem to notice and the following yell of the two voices synched was more than enough to confirm that
*"WHAT?!"*
perfect
Cooler glared at the short, horned sneaky fella, twitching the corners of his mouth. the emperor that was still, trying very hard not to let out a laugh and burst his plan, that went more amusing than he thought it would.
"BROTHER, WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS?" the younger sibling shouted, with quite a frustration to add to the shock and confusion in his voice. his shoulders tighten closer to his head, and eyes squint to a wishing-to-be violent stare, that just looked funny at this whole scene.
"I DID NOT MEAN IT LIKE THAT! THIS MORON CANT EVEN UNDERSTAND OUR LANGUAGE ANYMORE" Cooler realized he was stuck in a sticky situation, but was way too far into protecting his pride as one with mighty strength, and did not want it to seem as he tries to excuse away from a fight offer, so he quickly scrapped the impulsive, shocked, loud response: "T-the new emperor seems to think there is truly no one stronger than him now, and it a need to prove him wrong, brother!" his eyes suddenly looked much more serious to bold the intentions of his own interest that he tried to sneak into the conversation.
Renzu's perspective on this poor acting saw it more as a ridiculous amusement. but yes, he was pleased with how well and fast this developed into what he wished for. but not for long as a new surprise struck his expectations -
opening his mouth to speak out, then shutting it with his teeth. Freeza led this quick transition just to introduce his next sentences
"Brother, you never had any respect for the ones above you in order. you don't want to become a thorn in his side just like the saiyans were, you’re an irreplaceable moron. the new emperor has proved his power taking both of us down and there is no need for him to repeat kicking you for your foolish behavior" his tone sounded so much different than before. it was quieter, yet somehow through the soft tint of it, still managed to sound attacking. a face that desperately tried to wear a frown over something he wanted to keep away. again.
and well, you can't keep too many secrets from your ruler, can you? especially this individual. it was weird to see someone with such a conceited personality to keep an attitude like this one. of course, he did change his path of heart brick by brick. but nothing would make him act like this in front of his rivalry sibling. something was off.
Cooler looked like the confusion and shock broke his ability to react, and all three just stood there still in awkward silence for a number of seconds. one of the soldiers passed by them, and noticing three most powerful figures on the ship in one place, a drop of sweat rolled down her face. Renzu glanced over at the fighter, and with eye contact made, he showed an awkward smile that did not make it much easier for his dear army member. she stopped her walk harshly, bowed down, her eyes widen as if she realized she has done something wrong, she straighten her posture and saluted instead. "g-good to see you! emperors, admiral!" waiting for just one more second and continued her way increasing the pace of her walk.
"emperors" Freeza and Renzu repeated with a whisper, at the same time. "..admiral" Cooler blinked and then smirked. "loyal army you have in charge there, emperor" he raised his head in half-nodding gesture and turned his back to leave. for once, even with such laughable behavior, Cooler actually acted mature from the moment this interaction between them just began.
and there, the two were left to stand alone with the words of that female warrior echoing in their heads. despite it being very distracting, Renzu shook that out his head to speak finally speak his mind about this behavior from his boyfriend.
"why do you keep avoiding a fight against me?" his words spoken with clear stubbornness to receive an answer, yet in a gentle voice. the former ruler caught off guard by this question. and maybe it is in his character no not give a single fuck about anyone else but his own, but as mentioned before, he sure did started to convert into a nice nature (Dodoria would approve of it). but mostly it has developed in getting to know closer this certain fellow race member.
"i doubt you would lose to me with your new refreshed powers. why aren't you even trying to grasp back over your respected title?"
"Renzu, shut up." he was flicking his tail rapidly behind his back.
there was another pause, that Renzu could now allow, but before he got to part his lips, they were already sealed by the pressure of another pair. again, unexpected. again, accepting over the fact that this one is sure full of surprises. again, returning the kiss.
and after the two broke the short make-out session, Freeza finally said something close enough to an answer: "you are progressing surprisingly well as an emperor. it would be a shame to kick you out even if my power level rose above your pointy head"
words that drew a tender smile on the emperors face. "good enough"
