Sometimes you just need your brother || Pt.2
Summary: After finding comfort in her brother’s place, it just seems too good to be true when her father knocks the door….
Makayla Verstappen (OC) x f1 grid
Series
Makayla had fallen asleep with her head rested on Max’s chest. Max didn’t notice until he looked down and seen his little sister asleep.
The 3 other drivers were still at his apartment, Kelly and Penelope were due to come back any moment and that’s when Daniel, Charles and Lando would leave.
“I can’t believe he actually kicked her out.” Max said as the 3 of them looked up at him. “It’s awful, I really don’t understand him” Daniel said.
“She’s only 16 like,” Lando added. “Does he know she’s here?” Charles asked. “Probably, she can only go either me or Vic” Max told him.“You think he’s going to try and take her back?” Lando asked.
“I’m not letting him, I know how he’s been treating her and I’m not letting her go through that anymore” Max added as the door opened.
“Maxie!” Penelope exclaimed as she made her way towards him but stopped when she noticed Makayla there. “What’s KayKay doing here?” Penelope asked.
“I’ll tell you everything later okay? Just keep the noise down as she’s asleep” Max said as she nodded before running back to Kelly.
“We better be going, message any of us Max to update us. Remember we are here to help, Mack is like a sister to us as well” Daniel said.
Max moved his sister‘s head in his chest and onto a pillow before he walked to the door with his 3 fellow drivers. “Thanks guys, means a lot” Max said before bidding goodbye to them.
“Is she okay?” Kelly asked referring to Makayla. “Dad kicked her out, she used all her savings to get a flight over here” Max said. “He kicked her out? Who would that?!” Kelly replied.
“Him apparently, you okay with her staying with us for awhile? I know P loves her anyways” Max asked. “You don’t need to ask, she’s your sister and I know P loves her too” Kelly said with a smile.
“Thank you” Max added.
//
Makayla had woken up to see that she had fallen asleep on the sofa. “Hey sleepyhead” Max joked seeing his sister finally awake. “Shut up, I was tried” Makayla mumbled.
“Is KayKay awake?!” Penelope shouted and when she seen the girl awake she ran and jumped on the sofa with her. “Hey P!” Makayla said as she tickled the young girl.
“KayKay! Stop!!” Penelope giggled as she tried to get out of her grip. Kelly sat down by Max, the two had smiles on their faces seeing the two girls together.
“Hey Kel, sorry didn’t see you there” Makayla said. “It’s alright, happy to see you smiling Mack” Kelly replied with a smile. “Mummy! Can Kay take me to the beach?” Penelope asked.
Makayla gave her older brother a certain look, that he knew he couldn’t say no to. “I hate when you do that look, just be careful you two okay? Be back before it’s gets dark” Max told them as Penelope cheered and ran to get her coat.
“You sure you’re okay with this?” Makayla asked, mainly directing the question to Kelly. “Mack, you I trust you with P. How many times have you watched her before this?” Kelly said.
“Just making double sure. Thank you, we won’t be long!” Makayla said as she got ready for the couple watched the two girls leave the apartment.
“I hate how he’s made her think she isn’t allowed to do or go anywhere..” Max mumbled. “She’ll be alright, Mack is a strong girl. We just need to make sure he stays away from her and not try and take her back” Kelly said.

Makayla and Penelope made their way back to the apartment, the young girl ran to her mother while Makayla followed behind her after taking her shoes and coat off.
“I want KayKay to take me to bed!” She heard Penelope said as she entered the room. “I’ll do it Kel, c’mon P! Let’s finish that book off we were reading!” Makayla said as Penelope jumped in her arms as she carried her to her room.
Max and Kelly smiled at the pair before quietly following them and stood by the door watching the both girls. Makayla finished reading before kissing Penelope’s forehead and leaving to door to be greeted by the couple.
“Watching us were you?” Makayla joked as the three made their way back to the living room. “You are so good with her, she adores you” Kelly said. “I love her” Makayla replied with a smile.
The three of them started to watch a bit of TV, Makayla was on her phone a few times before it was starting to get late and they was about to make their way to bed, but there was a knock on the door..
“Makayla! I know you’re in there, you better come here before I phone the police!” They heard Jos shout.
The girl looked at her older brother with fear on her face, how was she going to get out of this? Kelly came over and pulled her into a hug, before Max started to make his way towards the door.
“Makayla, get here now!” Jos shouted.

💥THE GANG IS BACK!
[COLORED VERSION] 🎨
At least... Apparently DBS gave him his chance.
DRAGON BALL SUPER
Chapter 56: Warriors of Earth Assemble
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Even the title is stunning. I mean... the gang is back! The original Dragon Ball isn't dead. But now look at him... In truth, he never stopped getting excited about fighting. Here he's the only one who seems purely motivated. A little reckless, but still cute. That's our good ol' Yamcha.
Tumblr media
...how dare you, fools?! I mean, he's one of the very first Earth Heroes! No kidding!
Let him prove it.
Tumblr media
Agent Yamcha? Well... It sounds really good. Finally someone who respects his role in this story! I mean... He was Lord Yamcha, the fearsome bandit of the Diablo Desert, one of the best students of Master Roshi, then King Kai, a memorable fighter of the Tenkaichi Tournaments, a loyal friend, a human who has crossed his own nature! I guess "agent Yamcha" is just the minimum... But we make do!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Well well well... Welcome back, Yamcha! You really seem to have remembered who you really are and you can be! You're let it get you down too many times for no reason and this has been your greatest weakness. The only one.
Take your revenge!
Tumblr media
This is really touching. He never denied his most famous technique... The one and only Rōgafūfūken! Just look at his fingers put like a wolf fang. I can hear his unmistakable howl!
After all, generally he never denied himself. And his long hair too. I'm so glad they've come back. This is a really important point about his personality. Bulma tried to fix him in many things... Sometimes she has helped him, but other times she has only damaged him. I think Yamcha is slowly retracing his steps to create a better version of himself. Not just a parody.
Tumblr media
Oh please... It had been a long time since I had seen him so proud of himself. Look at that cocky pose! Damn, how cute...
Tumblr media
Got a real taste. He just realized he can still help and now no one can stop him. Well, sort of. The rest of the chapter doesn't show anything relevant about him. Except for a small part.
Tumblr media
We can see Yamcha, but also Tenshinhan, Kurillin and even Chiaotzu, helping Goku with their energy. Like the old days. It's amazing they included them.
Tumblr media
Okay, this one hurts a little. It's comforting that Toriyama didn't forget this detail... Yamcha's only wish has always been to get married. Since 1985, when he first appeared. Considering that this line dates back to 2020... It's been a long time, hasn't it? Back then he was a shy 16-year-old boy with many expextations for his future... Now he's a man, he lost so much, but his need for love never changed. So... Does he really have to ask Shenron as he wanted to do so many years ago?! Or worse, wait 1200 years...
Come on, Akira! He doesn't need the dragon balls!
Give him his real chance.
Guys... I would say that all of this is an incredible goal for Yamcha's fans.
He still exists.
He can still make a difference, even a tiny one.
He still can!
GOOD JOB, Yamcha-san! ✌️

You ever think about how, like,
themes of abandonment and found family and breaking cycles and loss and grief and realizing that having emotions is okay and that bettering yourself as a person upon realizing than you're more than your generational trauma and just overall that learning and growing from past mistakes is normal just...
Run rampant, in Ninjago?
Cuz like,
I sure fucking do-
Like-
Lloyd is the obvious example, right? He tried to continue Garmadon's legacy as an evil and deeply feared dark prince of pure evil and it just didn't work out. Instead, he broke that cycle. He created a place for himself in a dysfunctional family of other runaways and orphans and ambitious children who set out to be more than they were told they could be, found a strange team of people who all cared in their own unique ways, and ended up being exactly the opposite of everything he thought he was destined to be
Which comes with it's own problems. Cut to later, closer to the end of the series, and by then you've gotten to a point where most, if not all of Lloyd's traumas are from misdirected anger and violence, actions based in blind rage and seeking vengeance as closure. Lloyd's worst fear is being just like his dad, but... that's not quite it, is it? He's afraid of anger and how it consumes people, afraid of how easily it blinds others. He's afraid of allowing himself to feel anger because he doesn't want to be like everyone he's ever been forced to deal with on that level, and it ties into how seasons 9 and 16 both resolved.
But that.
That's just Lloyd briefly summarized.
It continues.
Zane is another good example. He had no idea who he was for a good long time, and yet he too found a new home for himself among others who seemed just as aimless, had Wu not come along and offered them his training. Even when he did find out, the others just suddenly had a lot of context to the weird things he would do and moved the fuck on, like, that fast. So fucking fast. It wasn't an issue.
But let me stop you right there.
It was usually used in gags, but it's emphasis repeatedly that Zane's primary objective is and always has been to protect others.
Translation: He was built and programmed to have a savoir complex UNRIVALED, and that makes itself PRETTY DAMN APPARENT, PRETTY DAMN FAST. Like, do I even need to give you examples? Zane actively puts himself in harms way SO OFTEN that he literally, no shit, HAS A REOCCURRING THEME THAT SIGNALS GREAT HARM HAS BEFALLEN HIM.
It's never said directly, but Zane puts himself into a lot of dangerous situations under the logic that it's better him than anyone else, his skin is made of metal and thus he's harmed the least. Which is. So bad. Like, I really hope I don't have to explain how bad that is, because wow.
This never really goes away, but he does get a lot better at thinking about the risk certain actions pose to himself. Just based on his actions during early crystallized, he now prioritizes the well being of his family above all else- even with his emotions turned so low that he's effectively only capable of taking the most logical of approaches. Breaking into the high security cell to release one of the highest priority villains of the city? That has no rhyme or reason, nor does it ensure the safety of the city- it actively endangers it.
And yet.
He does it anyway. Because of Nya.
Zane is fucking built different bro. Literally.
Oh, I'm sorry, did you think I was done?
Idiot.
...I mean, I am done, I'm tired and it's late and I have shit to do in the morning, but I could go on. I could. Cole and Harumi and Kai and pretty much everyone are sweating in their fucking boots right now.
I probably will.
...Later, when I have more time.
TL;DR:
Basically, Ninjago is a fucking masterpiece and should really sacrifice their PG rating to explore some of these topics a touch better because DAMN THERE'S POTENTIAL HERE

Excerpt from The Journals of Warden Nobori: A Glimpse into the Mundanities of Hisuian Life.
Part of Sinnoh Historical Society Digital Collections.
Klio Mizuki
Documents of the late Hisui Era, vol. 16, no. 10.
Once again, I find myself in the infirmary, though despite Warden Yūgao’s insistences, I feel that the reason this time is far less frivolous than usual. Unfortunately, the injury is far more serious- it is likely that I will be unable to walk far for quite some time. I have been told that my pelvis is fractured. This is not surprising, but it is painful and irritating. Still, I believe it was worth it.
I was sent to forage in the icelands. While I was told of the Alpha Garchomp that makes its territory in this area, I believed that I was outside of its range- unfortunately, I was not. At first, I thought I was rather lucky, as it did not seem to notice me, but it was not good luck for me. Rather, it was bad luck for some poor Gligar, who the Alpha Garchomp was focused on defeating, presumably to eat. While I am no longer squeamish about hunting and butchering Pokemon for sustenance, something about seeing a Pokemon that normally sports a distinctive grin no longer “smiling” wounded my heart.
What I did next was foolish, I will admit. I should have thrown snowballs to stun the Alpha Garchomp. I was not thinking. Instead, I ran directly to it. The next time I see Warden Hamarenge*, I will be sure to thank him, though he may not appreciate the implication that his self defense lessons emboldened me to punch an Alpha Garchomp in the snout. This did work to temporarily stun it, and the Gligar immediately took the opportunity to flee. I was not as quick as him. The Garchomp grabbed me in its mouth and, to tell the Truth, I thought that I would die right there. Thankfully, the Gligar had not fled far. Perhaps he felt indebted to me, because he attacked the Garchomp, causing it to drop me.
The two of us were able to flee, if only barely. The cold atmosphere of the icelands seems to slow even such a swift Pokemon as Garchomp, and a mixture of Mud Bombs and snowballs eventually convinced it to leave us alone. As I write this, he clings to my shoulders, watching as if he can read the words I am writing. He was wary at first when Warden Yūgao began to inspect my injuries, and became angry when it became apparent that her treatment was causing me pain, though I managed to calm him. I shall have to remember to ask her what is in the poultice that she applied to the bite mark, though I am certain that she will tell me anyways, considering my track record with injury.
If nothing else, it soothes my heart to finally have a Pokemon as a companion. While it is not all that common in the Pearl Clan, I have often felt jealous at the sight of Clan Leader Kai^ with her Eevee, or Warden Yūgao with her Bidoof. Perhaps, wherever I was before Hisui, I too had a Pokemon as my partner. Perhaps they are even wondering where I am. I am uncertain if the naming of Pokemon is a common practice here, but it feels right to me to do so. I feel that I should consider the matter more carefully, but for now, when I look at this Gligar’s smiling face, only one name comes to mind: Em. Perhaps this shall suffice.
*[This is the Hisuian name of the Warden known as Gaeric.]
^[This is the Hisuian name of Clan Leader Irida.]
[The translators do not recommend punching any wild Pokemon, let alone an Alpha. Warden Nobori’s actions were reckless and should not be imitated.]

Ninjago Age Headcanons
I can't find the post I made on them a few months ago, so alas here I am. Making it. Again.
We are excluding Pilot because I believe that they are the same age as season 1.
SEASON 1:
In order for this to make sense, the Ninja must have begun in their early/mid-teens, then later became older, except for Lloyd, who started as a child.
I've seen many headcanons of Jay and Kai being the same age, I'd have to agree, it does make a lot of sense.
Zane I'd say, from what he's aware - he'd be one year older, while Cole - who was the leader when Lloyd wasn't around - is the eldest, standing 2 years ahead of Kai and Jay.
Nya would be one year younger than Kai, but with how enamored Jay was with her, I'd say the maturity difference wasn't as huge - unless Jay is a creep at heart. I will admit - some things Jay has done or acted like, were kinda creepy, but not the kind of 'I go after people who are obviously far younger than me.' And I think we can all agree that Kai would kill Jay if that were the case.
So I'd say the answer is pretty simple.
Cole: 16
Zane: 15
Kai: 14
Jay: 14
Nya: 13
Lloyd: 7
SEASON 2:
Obviously, this is still within the same timeline, maybe a few days after season 1 finished - so I'd say they remain the same. Except for Lloyd, who once gets hit with the tea - is much older physically, but mentally remains 7, just becomes much more mature, unfortunately. I'd like to think that Nya and Lloyd first gave off older sister, younger brother vibes, but now gives off twin terror vibes, so Lloyd would physically be the same age as Nya.
Cole: 16
Zane: 15
Kai: 14
Jay: 14
Nya: 13
Lloyd: Physically - 13, Mentally - 7
SEASON 3:
I'd say that this takes place a few months if not a year after the overlord is defeated, so of course, the Ninja are older now, just by one year, why Wu would ever have them teach at this young you may ask? Well, he never really did make sense, did he?
Cole: 17
Zane: 16
Kai: 15
Jay: 15
Nya: 14
Lloyd: Physically - 14 Mentally - 8
SEASON 4:
I'd say this takes another year later, the first few seasons appearN to have lots of gaps between them, but then the newer ones tend to happen quicker together in my opinion.
And now finally one of our ninja is a legal adult! Woo! And with PIXAL starting to make quite the appearence after rebooted, I must say, she should be included too, I'd say her body is very young, but mentally shes about the same age as cole. She doesnt have a body at the moment, so until she does, theres no body age.
Cole: 18
PIXAL: 18
Zane: 17
Kai: 16
Jay: 16
Nya: 15
Lloyd: Physically - 15, Mentally - 9
SEASON 5:
possession is a very dark time for Lloyd, but judging by how everything is and by how Wu's tea farm seems to be quite new - I'd say that only a few months have passed and that they all remain the same age.
Cole: 18
PIXAL: 18
Zane: 17
Kai: 16
Jay: 16
Nya: 15
Lloyd: Physically - 15, Mentally - 9
SEASON 6:
I'd say that the Ninjas are all older now, but only by one year. (The legal age of consent in Canada is 16 so I'm trying to make it better for my poor disgusted mind by Naddikans actions towards Nya.) And Zane has joined the legal adult train!
Cole: 19
PIXAL: 19
Zane: 18
Kai: 17
Jay: 17
Nya: 16
Lloyd: Physically - 16, Mentally - 10
SEASON 7:
I like to think, that after Jay wished it all never happened in season 6, that season 7 ends up taking place as opposed to season 6. So therefore, all the Ninja remain the same age. AND PIXAL HAS HER BODY REVEALED! But I'd say that she had already had her body for about a year or so, just kept hidden.
Cole: 19
PIXAL: Mentaly - 19, Body - 1
Zane: 18
Kai: 17
Jay: 17
Nya: 16
Lloyd: Physically - 16, Mentally - 10
SEASON 8:
OUR BOY LLOYD IS GROWING! Its been a year now since season 7, and therefore, guess whos joined the legal adult train! Kai and Jay! And apparently it was Lloyds pubertys time to shine! (All my brothers had hit ouberty heavily between 10-12, so Im going off of what I know from them lol)
Cole: 20
PIXAL: Mentally - 20, body - 2
Zane: 19
Kai: 18
Jay: 18
Nya: 17
Lloyd: Physically - 17, Mentally - 11
SEASON 9:
Obviously season 8 and 9 are very closley connected, so I would say they remain the same age, and Kai mentioning how they are all teenagers, I'd say that he was just being nice to Cole in the moment, whom has already entered his 20s, and was no longer in his teens.
Cole: 20
PIXAL: Mentally - 20, Body - 2
Zane: 19
Kai: 18
Jay: 18
Nya: 17
Lloyd: Physically - 17, Mentally - 11
SEASON 10:
Final part to the 3 season oni trilogy, so obviously they remain the same age.
Cole: 20
PIXAL: Mentally - 20, Body - 2
Zane: 19
Kai: 18
Jay: 18
Nya: 17
Lloyd: Physically - 17, Mentally - 11
SEASON 11:
They become lazy for a year. Theyre ninja, and yet, they let themselves slip, smh, they really decided to ditch what beautiful abs they had on the dark island. Nya has hopped onto the Adult train! Lloyd is now physically an adult! But hes still a child in the others eyes obviously - but still their leader!
Cole: 21
PIXAL: Mentally - 21, Body - 3
Zane: 20
Kai: 19
Jay: 19
Nya: 18
Lloyd: Physically - 18, Mentally - 12
SEASON 12:
I'd say that this doesn't take too long after season 11, as the time difference between the realms must have made season 11's mission actually quite quick.
So I would say they're all the same age still.
Cole: 21
PIXAL: Mentally - 21, Body - 3
Zane: 20
Kai: 19
Jay: 19
Nya: 18
Lloyd: Physically - 18, Mentally - 12
SEASON 13:
I'd say it's been another year or so, and we FINALLY got a Cole season! So you know the role call, +1 to all the Ninjas ages! Most of the Ninjas are now old and in their 20s!
Cole: 22
PIXAL: Mentally - 22, Body - 4
Zane: 21
Kai: 20
Jay: 20
Nya: 19
Lloyd: Physically - 19, Mentally - 13
SEASON 14:
Judging by how the season starts off, I think that it's only been a few months since season 13, so the Ninja remain the same age, will they ever catch a break?
Cole: 22
PIXAL: Mentally - 22, Body - 4
Zane: 21
Kai: 20
Jay: 20
Nya: 19
Lloyd: Physically 19, Mentally - 13
SEASON 15:
Bless their poor souls, suffering after Nya's sacrifice. For a whole year, they were separated, just like after Zane defeated the overlord. And bless Lloyd's poor soul for giving into his Oni side. Now all of them are physically in their 20s, but Lloyd would have started high school.
Cole: 23
PIXAL: Mentally - 23, Body - 5
Zane: 22
Kai: 21
Jay: 21
Nya: 20
Lloyd: Physically - 20, Mentally - 14

Clockwork heart pt17
Part 16 here
———
Inigo: *riding on Roach, the horse Wyrm bought him with the little gold he had left so he wouldn’t have to walk* You are the dragonborn my friend?
Wyrm: *riding on Naomi, Taliesin hugging his waist with one hand and holding the reigns with the other* apparently…
Kaidan: *up ahead on Wyrms horse* apparently my arse, No normal person can move mountains with their voice like you can.
Taliesin: Or absorb the soul of a dragon like you did.
Inigo: well, I’m extra glad I did not kill you then.
Wyrm: you may as well have, something will eventually… *sighs* it doesn’t matter anyway. Once I’m home I’m never leaving again… making me the dragonborn surely must be one final cruel joke by the gods, I’m no hero or adventurer, I can’t even fight off some dogs or brandish a blade… *sniffles* papa was right about everything…
Taliesin: *strokes his hair* shhh, enough of that. You just need some help and practice is all.
Wyrm: I don’t even have two working arms…
Taliesin: … *looks up ahead at Kaidan* Kai, can I see the map please?…
Kaidan: Why? Think I’m leading us in the wrong direction?
Taliesin: no- *trying to hide the anxiety already building inside* a-are there any marked dwemer ruins nearby?
*several hours later*
Kaidan: *carrying Taliesin out of the ruins of Mzulft* Deep breaths you’re alive you’re not dead.
Taliesin: *coming down from a panic attack* we- are NEVER GOING IN ONE OF THOSE AGAIN!
Inigo: *carrying out a bag of loot* Is it a good book?
Wyrm: *holding the Lunar Lorkhan* I don’t know but… it feels strangely important given everything that’s happened to me recently… hm? *blinks spotting a building theyd missed* …Kai?? That key we couldn’t find a lock for, do you have it?
Kaidan: hm? Oh yeah- *unceremoniously drops Taliesin on his ass and fumbles around his bag for the key before handing it to him* here.
Wyrm: th-thank you. Tali are you okay?
Taliesin: *on the ground hyperventilating* I- I-
Kaidan: don’t worry I’ve got him. *pats Taliesin on the back* keep breathing you’re fine.
Wyrm: I… I’ll be right back. *watches him with growing concern before walking off to the building and opening the doors to find a store room inside* oh?… *looks around at the rows and shelves of spare pottery, parts and more* ohhh! *grabs several gears, metal plates, bolts and ingots placing them in his satchel before passing another door and immediately back pedalling as something blue catches his eye* what?… *places the key in the door and steps in as he unlocks it to see a strange shard of what he can only describe as blue glass* wow… *slowly touches it and feels his whole body seize in shock as another memory clouds his mind*
???: Aetherium? But sir we only have a limited supply left, and with the dwemer gone we don’t know how to harvest anymore, we should not start such a grand project if we are without means to finish I-
Sotha Sil: we do not need the aid of our deep elven cousins. I am aware of their methods and how we can obtain more if needs be. But in order to create my vision for our people’s future, I must first make the gateway to the plain where it shall take shape.
Wyrm: *let’s go of the shard and staggers back as he regains control of his mind* ughh- *rubs his face* Aw- shit. *huffs and rights himself* I wish that’d stop happening… *looks back at the shard before nervously poking it in case another memory sparks before quickly putting it in his satchel too and exiting the building*
Inigo: *leaning against the entrance* Anything interesting?
Wyrm: it was just a storage room but I found some gears to repair my arm!
Inigo: that is great news my frie-
Taliesin: *having a coughing fit after hyperventilating so hard he started crying* I can’t breathe- I can’t breathe-
Kaidan: *at a loss on how to help him* T-Taliesin calm down! You’re outside now you’re safe-
Wyrm: *hurries over and shuffles his way into taliesins lap hugging him and taking his hands* shhh, it’s okay, it’s almost over now… *pulls his handkerchief from his bag and wipes his face* y-your makeup is running, it’s alright Tali I-I’m sorry you went through all that just for me…
Taliesin: *sniffles and rubs his face choking back another sob* I’m- im fine- I’m fi- *coughs* w-wanted to make you happy again- I forgot h-how horrible those dreadful r-ruins are-
Wyrm: *keeps drying his face just letting him ride it out knowing how hard anxiety like this is to stop and how similar they are to his sensory overloads* I-I’m so greatful you went through it for me, y-you didn’t have to. *takes his hand to move it from his face only to feel the larger elf squeeze it a little tighter than he’s comfortable with but not in a cruel way* … *squeezes back* I’m here.
Taliesin: *breath uneven and in short bursts as he begins to steady and ground himself feeling the weight of the small dunmer in his lap, his hand in his, the sweet smell of citrus in his hair mixing with the smell of sandalwood from his robes* I… I’m… I’m okay, I think- *clears his throat and sniffles back tears* I lost myself for a moment there-
Wyrm: it’s okay to lose yourself, so long as you come back to us eventually. *smiles and dries his face cleaning his eyeliner up* I-I don’t blame you for being frightened, that centurion had you cornered, if inigo didn’t jump on it when he did I don’t think Kaidan could have stopped it in time.
Inigo: the hero again~ *snickers walking by*
Taliesin: I… *sighs rubbing his face* I’m just glad to be out of there… I only wanted to help but…
Wyrm: m-maybe next time we avoid going into dwemer ruins.
Taliesin: *nods and laughs softly* y-yes, that. That sounds like a great idea. *smiles warmly at him as he finally calms down, feeling oddly at peace as he stares at Wyrms sweet smile and gentle face* I… *finally realises Wyrm is just sitting in his lap* I- um. *clears his throat and lifts him up as he rises to his feet* d-did you find anything you can use? *sets him down*
Wyrm: yes! I should be able to fix my arm now. Thank you Taliesin. *suddenly gives him a hug before running over to the horses leaving Taliesin standing there stunned*
Kaidan: *pats him on the back* Smooth.
Taliesin: Bugger off.
Kaidan: Hehehe~
*that evening*
Wyrm: *seated at a table in the Braidwood inn as he tinkers with his arm, the group having decided it’d be best for all of them to avoid windhelm and it’s unwelcoming inhabitants* just- go- I- *pauses watching the bolt he was trying to fit into place pop out of its position and fall off the table and onto the floor* Aw biscuits… *shifts and reaches down to get it only for Taliesin to grab it for him*
Taliesin: you should be in bed little moth. *hands him the bolt*
Wyrm: th-thank you. I will be soon I just- wanted to get my arm fixed tonight… it’s just a lot harder without mr wrench to help me…
Taliesin: Mr? Wrench?
Wyrm: oh- *blinks suddenly making his Pearl eye glow and a projection of a tiny dwarven spider suddenly appearing from it* one of my-… well… I guess he’s my only automaton now… I built him from scraps and he helps me build things.
Taliesin: *staring at the projection in amazement* I?! How?! How are you doing that??!
Wyrm: huh? Oh, i-it’s one of its enchantments. I’m very good at enchanting things, I can store memories in it, it’s, like a lexicon but very small. But it mainly just helps me see. *blinks making it disappear* it’s just magicka made visible, like fire or lightning for a destruction spell or an illusion spell. I keep memories that make me happy in case I’m sad… *looks down slightly before shyly blinking again making a projection of taliesins tear stained eyeliner smudged face appear* thank you for making me happy too.
Taliesin: *visibly blushes feeling his heart skip a beat* I- I you’re welcome but did you really have to pick that- I look dreadful!
Wyrm: *giggles*
*a few hours later*
Wyrm: *sharing a bed with Taliesin as Kaidan & inigo bunk together on the other* mnn *shifts uncomfortably as the hay pokes him and the old furs itch his skin*
Taliesin: *blinks open his eyes, too uncomfortable to sleep as well* itchy?
Wyrm: *nods* yeah…
Taliesin: *shifts and gets up pulling his thalmor robe from his bag*
Wyrm: t-Tali put it away you’ll get arrested if someone sees-
Taliesin: *suddenly turns it inside out and lays it over the hay and furs* nobody will be able to tell. *smiles and lays on it, gesturing for the small dunmer to shuffle closer*
Wyrm: *gladly does as he’s asked, wanting more so to cover it with himself in case somebody comes in and sees it* th-this feels much better.
Taliesin: *yawns and nods* I agree. If all else fails we always have our bedrolls.
Wyrm: *nods and shuffles a little closer resting his head against his chest* I-I never thought I’d miss my bed so much when I left home… but anything is better than the sleeping arrangements here…
Taliesin: *visibly blushes feeling the dunmer so close* Then we’d best get you back home as fast as we can so you can rest c-
Wyrm: *blinks wondering why he paused* Tali? *looks up at him to see him frozen in place* …Tali?… *notices he can’t even hear his heartbeat anymore* … *gets up in a panic only to see Kaidan frozen mid snore and inigo mid stretch* Wh-what- what’s happening?… *looks around the room before stepping out to see the inn and it’s patrons frozen in time, the fire unmoving, the bard mid strum of her lute, a cork from a bottle of wine halted in mid air* I- *jumps and spins around feeling something touch his shoulder but unable to see what’s there* h-hello? *reaches out and feels nothing beyond a sudden and painful headache* th-this happened in saarthal too- before- before- before- *grabs the bar as his mind flashes images of the orb and the memories of creation, the throbbing of his head pounding like a drum and beating in tandem with a heart he’d seen shot into the sea* p-papa- I-I’m- dying- it- hurts- it- hurts- it- *falls silent as cool metal touches his face, a hand, elegant in design, and a now familiar, kind face smiling back at him beyond a white void… sotha sil* y-you…
Sotha Sil: *smiles warmly at him, his very presence bringing him a strange comfort* shhh… you’re not dying… You can’t die.
Wyrm: I-it hurts- it hurts my head hurts- my heart it’s so loud- wh-why m-me- why are you killing me?
Sotha Sil: *bearing a look of immense sadness and hurt on his face that his means of protecting him would cause him pain* Kill you?… impossible… *shakes his head* No matter. I won’t allow them to use you for their plans. Please bear it for a moment longer…
Wyrm: u-use me? W-who? Wh-what do you mean impossible?
Sotha Sil: *smiles* You can’t kill a god.
“Sahloknir, ziil gro dovah ulse!”
Wyrm: *gasps as he comes back to reality, only to find himself no longer in the inn, but standing atop the hill near the settlement, his nightshirt and trousers drenched from the rain… and the world eater glaring down at him as he brings forth his ally from the earth* …I’m going to die…

“you shouldn’t have seen that” johnny
GIVEN THE DRAMATIC REVEAL OF ETHAN'S ELDRITCH NATURE, JOHNNY WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT HE’S COMPLETELY CHILL WITH WHATEVER HIS SON-IN-LAW GETS UP TO, or the odd things that happen around him, because of him. ...except for he isn’t fully used to everything yet. he’s only human, after all. because of ethan's... outlandish quirkiness, johnny's started anticipating more & more weird shit to just start happening whenever it feels like happening. power outages, for one. it's why he's stocked up on those battery-powered camping lantern things in his apartment, & extra batteries. his fridge has an extra two gallons of drinkable water. but it's fine, because the power doesn't go out for long enough to have to resort any of that. (the reveal also explains the seemingly endless, pretty scary storms that continually rolled over the valley while robby was a member of cobra kai.) ethan's just a chaotic kid, & now that his 'locks' have been broken, the floodgates of ethan's genuine chaotic nature have well & truly been unleashed out into the world.
unlike larusso & his big freak out when the news of ethan's nonhuman nature broke, johnny's learned to accept it, support him, & roll with the punches, because johnny's life has been full of oddities. let's see... his best dude friend was dating his other best dude friend & best chick friend when they were growing up... & he had no idea until their wedding.
number two: his son figure, his biological son, & his daughter figures are engaged to a nonhuman entity - their rings were made by him with his powers. they double as silent eldritch panic alarms. number three: ethan's parents are badass karate fighters in this life, but also wade is apparently from a comic book on some alternate life & is deadpool, & vanessa, wade's wife, is the woman he loves in that same film, but they were all brought over here because of ethan. (ethan's very tight-lipped as to explaining why they decided to come to the valley, though, that little shit. he knows that, because he's asked miguel & tory repeatedly if he's said anything. according to tory, ethan won't even tell them why, so it must be super private, super important information.) lastly, but not least... ethan's earplugs? those are so he doesn't have to hear sounds that only his eldritch hearing can pick up on. so he doesn't destroy the universe.
...jesus christ. if he didn't feel bad about making fun of ethan's earplugs when he first met the kid with robby at his side, he sure as hell does now. potential destruction of the universe by a then '16'-year-old kid is too existentially terrifying for johnny to handle.
despite that, johnny can handle his son's fiancé being the third ever thing (ethan's words, not his) in existence. it's just another oddity added to the list. he's semi-processed that information. he's done his best to adapt to the weirdness of it all. he's trying to move on. it's no biggie.
yesterday morning, ethan dropped off a pretty neat present at johnny's front doorstep, without needing to even be there. it's what ethan proudly calls 'a shiny', something he'd mentioned to johnny while he was visiting ethan's apartment. ethan'd explained the gist while flapping his arms, sitting on robby's lap. & by that, he'd only said it was a good thing. nothing to be alarmed about. the 'shiny' at johnny's doorstep was a small, ankle-high animated, carved wooden stick figure of johnny dressed in an eagle fang gi fighting someone - silver, based on the silver ponytail, angry-looking chin & black cobra kai gai - repeatedly. no two animations were the same. every punch 'silver' threw, 'johnny' blocked or countered using a mix of miyagi-do, cobra kai & eagle fang techniques. it was honestly super impressive. johnny had been confused, but took the gift inside. & yes, it was made out of actual, high-quality grade wood... oak or some shit. he'd immediately dialed wade to ask what the fuck it meant.
wade'd laughed & likened it to a cat with a dead rodent walking up to its owner & putting its fresh kill at their feet. it's a symbol of trust for ethan, to gift these 'shinies', & a desire to show appreciation to him. it means ethan likes him even more than he did before, & that he's grateful that he didn't shun him.
score, lawrence.
hawk whistled once he saw the animations in a video johnny'd sent him, calling the animations fluid & something out of a marvel movie. the stick figure gift stops moving if johnny doesn't think about it, & it changes into whatever johnny wants it to. right now, it's a (real) photograph of carmen & miguel smiling at the camera. it's currently sitting on the island in his apartment's kitchen.
unfortunately, while johnny's used to the oddities of ethan, he's not too used to the whole body horror aspect of the boy's eldritch side yet. namely, the fact that the veins in his hands, arms & his eyes can glow different colors. the veins underneath & around his eyes can, too. he's also not used to the three sets of ink-black wings that sprout from his back whenever he feels like making them appear. & ethan's not a small kid, he's 6'6, so the wings aren't small either. the bones cracking, the glowing eyes & veins, the tar-black feathers just appearing out from nowhere… he’s not used to it yet.
it’s what johnny, sam, robby, miguel & tory are currently looking at right now. ethan’d gotten spooked by the fire alarm going off in the building next to his apartment & reacted defensively. (as opposed to offensively, thank god.) he’d sprung up from miguel’s lap, his hands immediately clasping over his ears, his wings sprouting, eyes glowing ink black. he snarls something in a non-human language johnny can’t even begin to understand. it just comes out of ethan’s human mouth as a series of oddly pitched hisses & clicks/pops. the lights in ethan’s apartment flicker a few times violently.
the action of ethan going from looking entirely human to suddenly not in an instant makes johnny take a single step back from him in surprise. that causes ethan to freeze up in pure panic. the wounds of almost everyone else’s recent rejection of his true nature still a traumatic, scary event for the eldritch. those wounds haven’t healed over, & johnny secretly doubts they ever will.
all of the non-human features melt away immediately, except for his ink-black eyes. ethan looks like he’s on the verge of either a panic attack or losing his shit… neither are preferable in this situation. tory & miguel are instantly pulling ethan by his hands away from everyone else, moving down the hall to calm the distressed boy down. the door to their bedroom slams closed with a sudden, powerful gust of wind that makes johnny’s hair blow back, even from where he is in the living room. he winces, then quickly glances over at his son with wide eyes. shit. he’d fucked up again. he didn’t mean to do that - it was just human instinct. his pulse is still hammering in his neck, & he struggles to speak for a few tense seconds.
@taughtpain breaks the silence. ❝ you shouldn’t have seen that. ❞
guilt hits johnny like a truck all at once. he wonders how many times that’s happened for tory & miguel to immediately know to calm him down. johnny quickly avoids eye contact with his son while running a hand through his hair. he looks back towards the front door of the apartment. ❝ shit. i didn’t mean to do that. i probably shouldn’t be here anymore. ❞ the man quickly blurts out. ❝ i-i’m gonna go, tell your fiancé i’m sorry. ❞

Mayblade 2023 Day 3: Pets
It was a bit of a cold morning on that September day, and even though it was only dawn you could see a purple-haired boy, hair tied in a small pony-tail, running down the avenue by the sea, with his huge headphones, strictly black and definitely pop music blasting in to give him charge while running. He wasn’t a sports freak... or fan of playing sports with people, but he needed to vent his constant anxiety somehow, and running worked, so who was he to deprive himself of it. That day dawn was particularly gorgeous, made of beautiful pastel colors tinting the sky, surrounded by clouds that made them even more spectacular; there was only him, the dawn, the music and the adrenaline of the running that flowed in him. He needed it very much, it had been quite a restless study night; it was a bit complicated at school and things were not going very well. Apart from his musical practice, piano and bass, where he excelled without any problem, the rest of the subjects were giving him some anxiety. He was proud to be a Hiwatari, but apparently that created expectations of excellence in other people and it was starting to upset him, despite the fact that his father reassured him to not give a shit and that he should not be conditioned, but it was difficult, considering how much troubles he had from people at only 16 years just to be himself. He didn’t notice he had started to run faster, fueled with anxiety, and was forced to stop and take a breath. That's when he heard some meowing coming from... behind him? Gou took off his headphones and turned his head, realizing that he was being followed by two small balls of fur that meowed even more as they came close and started rubbing against his legs.
Gou smiled and lowered himself to their level to pet them.
"Mhm... they seem to be a bit thin... they are probably left without mom and are alone... I can’t leave them here... they are so adorable." He thought while the two small kittens had already climbed over him to ask even more pampering and looking for food as he smiled even more. "What harm can this do, old Twist will be pleased to have someone to keep him company, well. You little buggers come with me. And I’ll give you so so much good milk." The little ones meowed even louder at the words and the boy laughed "Yes, okay ahaha, calm down."
Gou reversed and ran home again, making sure that the two kittens did not risk falling during the run, but actually it seemed like it had a soporific effect and the two fell asleep.
A couple of hours later, a still half-asleep Kai found himself looking at the scene of his son giving milk to two kittens in the middle of their living room, without any warning. It was Saturday, he had thought he was still sleeping, but instead he was in his running clothes and with two kittens that would have been as big as his own hands in his arms.
"What can I tell him? Should I scold him? If he brought them I think he made sure they were alone and without a mother. Aaah... he’s my son..." Kai smiled,going to have a coffee before joining his son; Twist, their family cat, was still in bed sleeping with Takao, so there was no danger of a meeting with the small new guests for now.
"How adorable are you... yes,yes, it’s really good milk, mm? You are just two little gluttons. This is the best milk of Spa-" Gou interrupted his talking to the kittens when his father sit next to him with his usual cup of coffee and observed the little ones, stroking them with a finger, and then looked at him and he swallowed. "Dad I swear they were following me while I ran and I mean I couldn’t leave them alone they seemed very hungry and were alone so I took them home." Kai tried to talk. "I already called the vet, I asked them how much milk and everything else and later II take them to get checked if they’re okay, I know I shoul-"
"Gou, it’s okay, don’t get upset, if you decided to bring them here it’s because you’ve already considered all the options and besides they seem to love you already. You didn’t have to ask our permission if you thought it was the right thing. Later I’ll accompany you to the vet, however, two little pests are difficult to manage."
The boy smiled even more "Thanks Dad! I will take super care of them, they will have a super happy life I promise you! I will make them be accepted even byTwist!! Thank you thank you!!" He hugged his father and Kai hugged him back. "Come on, go take a shower and then let’s go, run up" Gou did not let it be repeated twice and ran upstairs, leaving Kai to take care of the two kittens with an already loving smile for the two little ones, he would explain later to Takao, Makoto and Dafne as of that day would have been two more members in the family, but not now. Now he just wanted to enjoy his morning peace, his coffee, and two kittens, which unfortunately for him, as with Gou, had already conquered his heart as the total cat-person that he was. He would have explained, but definitely not now.

Rise of the Snakes - React, pt 1
Rise of the Snakes
00:13 Yo Wu, chill.  Just because you're the son of basically god you don't gotta be this dramatic.  Leave that to Garmadon, he's better at it anyway
1:05 Ayo, was that the Sacred Flute in that little cabinet Wu's meditating in front of?
1:11 That is a lot of cobwebs
1:29 Is this also a Milton Dyer game?
1:53 Excuse me did Kai's voice just come out of Cole's mouth?
2:02 So the Ninja like pepperoni and black olive pizza, apparently
4:31 How far is Jamanakai Village if it takes them this long to fly there on dragonback but Nya just walks on over in a short enough time there's still daylight during the same day when Lloyd comes back with Serpentine?
5:40 Love that the main character of this entire series was named for a pun
5:54 How common knowledge is Lloyd's existence if Cole already knew he was at Darkly's Boarding School for Bad Boys?  
6:27 Why are the Serpentine treated like this ancient legen if they were only put in the tombs like forty years ago?
7:30 Love how Kai says 'muchacho' and then him speaking apparently Spanish is never brought up again
7:58 ...and that was Cole's voice coming from Kai's mouth.  They're just swapping voices today
9:06 And Kai's words from Cole's mouth again.  What communication breakdown happened between the VAs recording and the animators?
9:59 So if the Hypnobrai line with Ice, and the Constrictai line with Earth, the frick are the Venomari, Fangpyres, and Anacondrai supposed to be?
10:01 Also why are Lloyd's teeth green in this lighting?
10:33 We've seen instances where Hypnobrai hypnotism happens almost immediately, so why does literally nothing happen to Lloyd even though he's maintained eye contact with Slithraa for a good 20 seconds?
10:58 What is the aging process like for Serpentine?  Why are there always tiny snakes that match the features of the Serpentine?  Do they hatch from eggs, be little snakes for a bit, then spontaneously grow arms and legs?  Will someone please explain this?
11:29 If Nya's close to beating Kai's speed record on the training course, shouldn't she figure out Spinjitzu way sooner than whenever she actually does in the show?  Might need to fix that in mine, since Misako's shown to do Spinjitzu without having access to elemental powers.
11:59 How early into the show did Nya start working on the Samurai concept?
13:40 Kai having issues controlling his sword is because dragon = stronger elemental connection
13:50 I love the detail that the fire makes a protective/possessive circle around Kai
14:38 Knowing about Morro makes Wu's saltiness about the Green Ninja shenanigans that much more painful
15:41 To Scales's point though you snakes cannot digest large amounts of sugar
16:10 Does the spirit smoke tell the present, or the future?  Because we kinda see it doing both.  Also does this mean Wu gets high?
17:35 ...aside from the General, do they have tails?
17:52 How the frick did Nya know the antivenin was in the staff?  I get her figuring out Slithraa's the general, but were the Hypnobrai just outright stating 'the cure's in the staff, better not let the villagers get ahold of it'?
19:14 Where is Scales's rattle?  Because snake man does not have a tail at this juncture.
19:50 Nothing to see here, just polluting the water supply for the greater good
20:42 Are they foreshadowing Nya's the Samurai later this season or are they foreshadowing Nya's actually the Water Ninja four seasons from now?
Home
1:44 Why are they calling it a roof, it's a courtyard
3:43 Jay's off-and-on Brooklyn accent from early in the show is weird man
3:55 Zane's probably reminding Wu of Morro with the homeless, parentless child thing...
4:13 I'm sorry, are the dragons' reins directly affixed to their jaws?
6:13 Let the man wear his frilly pink apron in peace
7:32 Zane panting with his mouth shut, 100% robot over here
7:47 Mommy issues anyone?
9:00 I'm with Jay here, I'd want to keep the treehouse
9:30 Kai clearly attended the Jack Sparrow school of getting places
10:51 Good news for that unfortunate Hypnobrai, snakes don't really get concussed
10:32 Wilhelm Scream Counter: 1
11:00 Times Ninja have Turned Evil™:  Cole: 1
11:38 Lloyd in a Cage™ Counter: 1 Alternatively, Times a Ninja Has Been Captured: Lloyd: 1
13:32 Times the Monastery has Burned Down: 1
14:39 Priorities, Jay, yeesh
17:39 Fang Kwan Do; so painfully underutilized.
21:31 Excuse me how the frick did Lloyd find them?
Snakebit
2:45 How does giving the cabin a steambath help exactly?
3:29 How did Ed and Edna know where their son was?  This is like the morning after the monastery burned down, the frick
8:17 Why are the Fangpyres Transylvanian?  I know it's because the vampire aesthetic, but like what would the in-story reason be?  None of the other tribes seem to have accents other than maybe the Anacondra [because Pythor sounds British and I don't remember what Arcturus sounded like]
10:50 Does the bite of the Fangpyre affect other Serpentine?
11:08 Being bitten by the Fangpyres - the only time Jay and his parents shared DNA
11:24 That's rich Cole, considering you've been lying to your dad constantly for years
11:49 From this point onwards Kai, Zane, and Cole should've totally weaponized Nya as a motivational tool against Jay.  Pretty sure most of the time Nya would agree with them.
12:05 I swear Wu ripped that thermometer off the side of a building, because where else do you find one that big.  Also, considering he was walking around from behind the dragon, what kind of thermometer do you think it is?
12:11 Love the detail that the dragons are teenagers too
12:41 What's brilliant about this scene is it's impossible to tell if they were legitimately oblivious or intentionally screwing with Jay
13:23 Brilliant that Jay starts to get a slight Minnesotan accent when agitated; he's his parents' son
13:57 I repeat, can they turn Serpentine?
14:10 I know it's supposed to be creepy and snaky but all I can think of with the wrecking ball is an overripe jack-o-lantern
14:42 They each express it in different ways but I love how each of the Ninja has a protective streak a mile wide
14:52 Jay over here straight Matrix™ing the wrecking ball
15:05 Excuse me Nya was that a crotch shot there
16:12 Jay; Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass - Just Add Endangered Parents!
17:16 I'm with Jay here, half the plots in this show would not go nearly as catastrophically sideways as they do if Wu just told people shit
17:55 Jay gets a jet, Kai gets a motorcycle, Cole gets a dope car, Zane...gets a Zamboni.  Or is it a Zaneboni?
18:42 So do they just immediately know how to drive the vehicles because they're in tune with the weapons, or are all these teenagers actually certified drivers?  When did Kai learn how to ride a motorcycle if he's been running a business since he was 5?
19:41 Why did turning into a snake make Ed's goatee black?
20:47 They should totally make the dragon figurehead into a canon at some point in this show

💥THE GANG IS BACK!
At least... Apparently DBS gave him his chance.
DRAGON BALL SUPER
Chapter 56: Warriors of Earth Assemble
Tumblr media
Even the title is stunning. I mean... the gang is back! The original Dragon Ball isn't dead. But now look at him... In truth, he never stopped getting excited about fighting. Here he's the only one who seems purely motivated. A little reckless, but still cute. That's our good ol' Yamcha.
Tumblr media
...how dare you, fool?! I mean, he's one of the very first Earth Heroes! No kidding!
Let him prove it.
Tumblr media
Agent Yamcha? Well... It sounds really good. Finally someone who respects his role in this story! I mean... He was Lord Yamcha, the fearsome bandit of the Diablo Desert, one of the best students of Master Roshi, then King Kai, a memorable fighter of the Tenkaichi Tournaments, a loyal friend, a human who has crossed his own nature! I guess "agent Yamcha" is just the minimum... But we make do!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Well well well... Welcome back, Yamcha! You really seem to have remembered who you really are and you can be! You're let it get you down too many times for no reason and this has been your greatest weakness. The only one.
Take your revenge!
Tumblr media
This is really touching. He never denied his most famous technique... The one and only Rōgafūfūken! Just look at his fingers put like a wolf fang. I can hear his unmistakable howl!
After all, generally he never denied himself. And his long hair too. I'm so glad they've come back. This is a really important point about his personality. Bulma tried to fix him in many things... Sometimes she has helped him, but other times she has only damaged him. I think Yamcha is slowly retracing his steps to create a better version of himself. Not just a parody.
Tumblr media
Oh please... It had been a long time since I had seen him so proud of himself. Look at that cocky pose! Damn, how cute...
Tumblr media
Got a real taste. He just realized he can still help and now no one can stop him. Well, sort of. The rest of the chapter doesn't show anything relevant about him. Except for a small part.
Tumblr media
We can see Yamcha, but also Tenshinhan, Kurillin and even Chiaotzu, helping Goku with their energy. Like the old days. It's amazing they included them.
Tumblr media
Okay, this one hurts a little. It's comforting that Toriyama didn't forget this detail... Yamcha's only wish has always been to get married. Since 1985, when he first appeared. Considering that this line dates back to 2020... It's been a long time, hasn't it? Back then he was a shy 16-year-old boy with many expextations for his future... Now he's a man, he lost so much, but his need for love never changed. So... Does he really have to ask Shenron as he wanted to do so many years ago?! Or worse, wait 1200 years...
Come on, Akira! He doesn't need the dragon balls!
Give him his real chance.
Guys... I would say that all of this is an incredible goal for Yamcha's fans.
He still exists.
He can still make a difference, even a tiny one.
He still can!
GOOD JOB, Yamcha-san! ✌️

Maybe y’all should learn how to block people instead of airing your drama in fandom tags. Being called a pedophile is a very serious accusation, and you have every right to be upset, but going “fuck you” to an entire fandom because of some drama from mods of a past blog is ridiculous.
Can't wait until you've realized I've already blocked all of those people and they're still harassing me on my personal blog and this blog, alongside the ds defunct council when it ran. Hope you have eyes to know that that message I got was anonymous too.
In fact, here's the blocklist I had set up before this little weasley cunt decided to show up in MY blog, barge into MY space, and call ME a pedo.
Tumblr media
note: majority of these people in the old image have had their name cleared for the most part? so i changed the image. Pls kindly do not harass the people in the old dni, just like King Fox/Foxxism - do not harass him! DO NOT HARASS HIM!
Clearly they're still getting support somewhere, and whether that's from Kai and Frey, or the IBVS gang, or some random fuckwads with an iq of a sponge and the usefulness of dirty soap, or they're doing it cause they think they can get away with it in this fandom, clearly whatever I've done so far (which was: generally keep it in this circle) has not deterred them from harassing me, so I guess I gotta reach for bigger and bigger guns.
You know what's also serious? King Fox going around into people's DMs and whispering to them about all the shit I supposedly did, and not allowing me to tell my side of the story. But the second I exclaim what happened in a public space, apparently I'm the bad guy. By speaking out about the abuse I'm going through, I'm "causing too much of a ruckus".
Imagine telling that to the victims of Glitchtale's creators, who've undoubtedly have experienced that already. Imagine having the GALL on telling that to the people who were sexually harassed and raped by others in the #MeToo movement.
Imagine telling this to any victim, as if this fandom is a religious place and I need to keep hush-hush about the abuse the pastors and popes put me through.
You know what that sounds like to me? That sounds like victim blaming. Oh, don't hold the people harassing me to their actions, it's my fault apparently for not liking that. Oh, it's my fault apparently for being sensitive about sweammare or jmv in the past, even if the shit in that hit a little close to home. How dare I tell a snot-nosed kid to stop fucking being a bitch to me, I must be an absolute fucking predator aren't I? /sarcasm
It's amazing too. Hey Mod Smoke, remember when we used to date before you realized you were aroace, and Frey and their ex-datemate kept claiming to others that I must be abusing you because you're ace and I'm dating you? Oh, but if I mention that, I must be rocking the boat, as if those accusations weren't still standing to this day for some people who heard that from them, because bitches would rather sweep that shit under the rug or "well acktually 🤓" explaining it away rather then apologize for their fucking shenanigans and tell others they were wrong, even if that have or had real-life consequences for me.
Or that time I was excluded from the fandom at the ripe age of 15 with a mom who "homeschooled" me so the only friends I even had were in that fandom, and then I was proceeded to be called acephobic, and now years later Frey claims to "not remember", even though I'm the one with the disorder that causes memory lapses, so what is their fucking excuse? Amazing how universally, bullies don't remember their bullying, and yet when the victims call them out, they're making a fuss and "they were just a child, they need to move on" as if bullying doesn't leave people scarred for many years to come, and that apparently because being a kid excuses every single action in the past. You know who's also still a kid (16-17 range) as far as I know? King Fox. You going to excuse his shitty and vile behavior because he's a kid still too?
I'm so glad I have better friends then the lot of you. Might I also note the closer circle of my friends are also ace, and if any of them thought I was an acephobic asshole, I'm sure they would have ditched me after four damn years?
This fandom is a fucking fermented vat for abuse to spring up, and it's fucking epidemic. This fandom has excused shitty actions from people who should have been held liable. Clearly you don't remember the shit Kai and Frey did to another 15 year old (not me, shockingly enough), who they literally called a reverse pedophile, or the bullshit they said about Joku when they hopped on that train of "joku bad us good". Huh, it's almost as if they seem to target the people who happen to also have autism, too!
I'm so tired of people who don't even bother apologizing.
Does any of this make you uncomfortable? Then good, because clearly that means I'm doing my job right in showing you the ugly heart of this shitty place outside the area I've carved from the flesh.
And just because I was an extra good boy for Christmas, I'll fucking treat myself to tagging this in the fandom again, cause clearly those in the back need to hear it better.
And just to smear it in your face: go fuck yourself, anon. You have no say or power here.

We wish! Like by the time Kai comes out, this has happened over 8 years ago. 8 freaking years! Okay... not 8 but 7 or so. Maybe 6 1/2 but my point still stands, how are you two not married yet? Why aren't Killika and Zin not together yet and how on earth is it possible that this girl, that is 12 years old at the moment, has a higher chance to get married soon than the other two ships? AAAAAHHHH! WHY FALCOM?! WHY?!
Tumblr media
XD Well... I guess if she is that freaking slow in getting it, we shouldn't be surprised that she is that freaking slow in getting married... ^^'
Tumblr media
Oooooookay guys! Timeout!
Tumblr media
And then Erika shows up out of the blue all off a sudden and makes a big deal out of the guy that has protected Tita while she was god knows were that damn Bitch...
I mean I get it. She is a mother and Tita is so cute its easy to think some older man could exploit her innocence and all but if anyone has proven he absolutely adores Tita and would NEVER EVER harm her in any way shape or form, its Agate. Heck, he has the courtesy to have that stupid "hands-off" approach after she started to mature. Which man with ulterior motives would do that, given how Tita is not hands-off with him at all?
*achem* Sorry. Uh... yeah... I... how do I put this? Erika is a... seriously awful woman for one reason or another and she is the only freaking anti-shipper in this damn game even tho she has no right to be! That pisses me off!
I am a bit teary-eyed here after Joshua and Estelle offer Tita to be their big brother and sister. It was so cute.
Tumblr media
Oh look! Its the man who hasn't asked Killika to married her yet...
I am on a roll today with the shipping stuff, huh? XD
*achem* Its nice to see you again Zin. Tho I have to admit it didn't feel that long since we last saw each other given that it hasn't been that long since I finished Kuro 2 just yet ^^'
Tumblr media
Look! We have Tita and Agates first meeting! (Isn't it quite amusing that in this short amount of time if somewhat had the chance to complain/gush about 3 different ships who are all in this game... and in the meantime, Kuro hasn't given me anything but heartache and pain! I mean... granted the heartache and pain worked out for Swin and Nadia and I am glad about it, but other than that? I stay with it, The Kuro games are truly loveless...)
Tumblr media
Granted... it was not the best first impression. But he will make up for it, trust me!
Tumblr media
If you ever search for a secret evil person in a Trails game... looking out for those random people you just seemed to be running into over and over again for no apparent reason but pure utter coincidence... that would be the man... or woman. Trust me.
Tumblr media
He seems harsh here... but he was right and Tita will prove that later on.
Tumblr media
Now we could agrue that this would not have happened if they would have taken Tita with them from the get-go, but then they might have captured and used he as yet another hostage and we would not have gained anything either, because someone likely would still have gotten hurt trying to free her. Not to mention they would have had to chose between saving her or the Professor which would have still caused Tita to feel responsible and... you get me, right?
Tumblr media
He slapped her, but love hurts sometimes...
All that aside... the plan failed because Tita did not listen to Agate and now she is standing here whining about its failure even tho it was her fault. The slap... was kind of deserved. Especially by the guy who had to take a bullet for her.
Tumblr media
This whole time it was of course not just about the job or the professor, it was also about her own safety.
Tumblr media
Now thats just adorable XD "Mister Agate" *lol*
Tumblr media
Because this is the exact moment were your life is going to change for the better. Because somehow you made that girl utterly fall in love with you. And while it does start out as a crush on her knight in shining armor who is cool and older and all that. Even when she is 16 she still learns to cook better, just for you. His your sails my man, because this is exactly the moment your ship got permission to sail XD
Tumblr media
This mess is absolutely essential for the Relationship between Agate and Tita but it means I have to go into THAT cave to save him. Urg...

大家好! According to tradition, ren ri (humans day) is everyone's birthday and we celebrate it by feasting. Pa and I decided to have jiao zi (steamed dumplings); because they're shaped like ingots, they're believed to bring wealth and prosperity. We ordered prawn and pork as well as vegetarian dumplings and walloped them all. Gosh, they were so delicious!

In the evening, N and I caught up for some red wine and shared lamb, escargot, mozzarella balls with cherry tomatoes, spinach and bacon, as well as margherita pizza. In case I haven't mentioned it earlier, he's half French and very in tune with his Western roots. So when we hang out, Western cuisine is what we usually have, partly also because he loves meat and cheese. N told me he's developed feelings for me and mentioned the L word. I'm deeply fond of him but am not sure if it's L yet; thank goodness he's willing to gimme time to figure it out!

Sunday was kai gong (open for business) lunch with Grace and Douglas. The couple brought in pen cai from Malaysia at a much lower price than it costs here and I bought yu sheng (lo hei) with additional Hokkaido scallops and tobiko. It was a lot to eat for 3 and we were stuffed to the brim! The meal was pretty healthy though, with plenty of veggies and seafood. After that, they gave me some homemade jiao zi (dumplings) to take home with me.

Haven't eaten duck in awhile and apparently, it's the red meat with the lowest amount of vitamin K. Duck breast when done well can be yummier than chicken breast and I requested for it, as well as a braised egg. The protein and veggies sat atop deliciously QQ thin yellow noodles and the meal came with a small bowl of tasty winter melon soup. All this goodness for $5.20. Why eat pasta when the price of 1 can get me about 4 portions of nutritious local fare?

So far, I've held off saying firmly that the war in Gaza is genocide. However, Palestinians are perilously close to a starvation crisis as there isn't enough aid flowing into the devastated area. If a famine occurs and results in massive numbers of deaths, I'll be pushed into saying this war, in my view, is genocide. Only pushing for a ceasefire can save these innocent lives and I'll continue to pray very hard for them. 下次见!

Perfect Paradise Ch.16: Can We Work it Out? Can We Be a Family?
Summary: A dream fulfilled.
---------------------
A sigh left Marinette as she leaned back, the last outfit of the main line passing inspection. Her team was experienced and capable. She should really trust them more but Marinette preferred to double check. Needed to double check. To make sure anything that could conceivably go wrong wouldn't.
She took a breath.
Marinette had gotten a better handle on her anxiety as she got older. But the whole divorce really drained her. So here she was triple checking dresses that didn't need it.
Turning her catastrophizing into an asset was a skill that served Marinette well as Ladybug.
Like with the akuma victim earlier that day. Ladybug always had a backup plan... Except, it was Viperion's plan. Viperion's successful plan.
For years Marinette told herself that was different! Viperion didn't just see the future he experienced it. Several versions of it. Luka had more information than her that's why she let him take point sometimes. That was all.
...
Marinette's eyes ran along the contours of the dress. Black, sleek, with lines of green accentuating it's form.
"Ma'am?" Marinette's assistant spoke up. "If that's done we still have the-"
"Actually... I think we're done for the day. I'll leave it in the team's capable hands." Marinette stood and began heading for the door.
Her assistant stared for a second before hurrying to catch up. "Oh-kay? Um, the models are ready for practice runs."
"Tell their supervisor to contact me if there are any problems."
"... Jen and Dina are fighting again."
"I will fire them if they can't act like adults."
Marinette saw the surprise flicker across her assistant's face. "What? I mean, I am the boss. I can delegate."
Apparently it was a day for uncharacteristic boldness because her assistant replied: "Yes, we know that ma'am but we were wondering if you did."
Marinette's eyes narrowed. "Who's this 'we'?"
"... No one!"
"Uh-huh." Marinette smirked.
After almost twenty years her employees were painfully aware of Marinette's micromanaging habits. They were saints about it but more permanent progress on Marinette's part was overdue.
They passed the traditionally inspired lines of clothing. Accepting that Marinette wasn't as up to date on Chinese fashion as she hoped had been a bitter pill to swallow. But she had quickly rectified that. Hiring talented designers from her mother's country and powering through the embarrassment of the foux pas.
Her assistant stopped walking as a notification pinged her tablet.
"C'mon, we'll finally have you home at a decent hour," Marinette teased, walking towards the front doors of her building.
"Ma'am!" Her assistant held out her tablet. It was the gossip section of the evening news. A muted video of Nino sprinting into a cab to escape the paparazzi played. With the headline: "Adrien Dupain-Cheng's New Husband Refuses to Deny Cheating Allegations".
Marinette felt her jaw drop as she stared at it... What the fuck? She turned her head back to the exit. Now that she was looking there were at least two news vans visible past the glass doors. Probably more.
"Fuck that." Marinette marched to the elevator. "Call the hovercar."
Her assistant's fingers blurred over the tablet as she sent instructions. "But you said that was only for-"
"This definitely counts!" Marinette hit the button for the roof. Pulling out her phone and holding it to her ear.
There was a click as her best friend answered.
"Alya!"
"I'm guessing you saw," Alya replied distractedly. Voices and movement audible on the other side.
"Did you know they-"
"Nino mentioned it. Fucking gossip channels are eating into our viewership! I'm gonna need interviews from Adrien and Nino to get ahead of this bullshit... God I hate that."
"You didn't tell me?"
"Marinette, girl, I love you. But it wasn't really my place to say. Was it?"
"... I guess not."
Alya seemed to pause what she was doing. "Where are you?"
The elevator dinged open just as the hovercar pilot was starting the engine.
"On my way home."

Thats. Thats literally vforce in a nutshell. Like one moment you're howling with laughter and then the next moment you're just like "jesus fucking christ what the actual fuck was that. What were they thinking". Pure cutesy psychological horror (alright that one is a pattern on my part. I have a liking towards cutesy animes which screw with my psyche *cough* madoka, YuYuYu *cough*)
Yea I do feel like vforce was indeed setting up something for zeo but then dropped it (we do know the movie was supposed to be the original opening for s3 before being replaced by grev) and like the only scene we see him after that is like. One frame. In that special final ending. (Though, like I mentioned previously, it seems zeo found some solace in his hobby of playing the violin)
I did read the entire manga and know of the leon/zeo arc. And yep, Zagart's way worse there. Like forcing your younger child to basically swap identities and act like your dead elder child? Sheesh. (Also, funfact: the anime's plotline with Zeo being a robot was supposed to be the original one before Aoki-sensei decided to replace it in the manga, probably due to an editor's recommendation I think?)
Zagart's definetly way better off in the anime. (Also wished they expanded on the beef between him and daitenji. And wow vforce surprisingly gave us daitenji lore. Wow he's a scientist/researcher apparently. Still not very responsible with kids tho.)
Psykick definitely existed just for that. And knowing it was a different organisation working for zagart, without involving zagart, yea. And like it was run by that purple haired weirdo what-was his-name and that crazy old dude.
And yea I've seen uh, questionable stuff, too. Literally walked myself into one too like a naive sweet summerchild. Never should've search for beyblade doujins, thinking I'll get cute wholesome stuff like those touhou doujins. I did find a cute kairei one but that was it. And yea that makes me feel a lot better. Maybe its only my opinion but like sure you can find them pretty and attractive (I literally had a crush on kai and mao/mariah as a kid) but don't.....don't do that...to them? I'll still accept if its like aged up with them being adults and properly tagged. But um, not with minors. That's disgusting. Especially if its non-con. And no, them being 16-17 ish in grev does not qualify on that. And also, *points at the 'asexual' part on my bio*
Oh and please do watch the movie! Its a good watch imo, no cinematic masterpiece but its a good watch nonetheless! I have like a lot to talk about the movie but um, i uh um kinda get nervous about dropping it all in here because um, anxiety disorder that even the internet can't save me from!
OH YEAH :3 i'm curious. what are your favorite parts of v-force/2002? i'm personally big on the digital sacred beasts (or atleast, that plotline from yuya onward, the first 15 eps of the season are kind of a blur to me) and.. ok i can't say zeo's plotline was pulled off Well but i love zeo as a character they are SO fascinating to me.
Well my favorite plotline from the season itself would be Zeo's one, while if we're talking about vforce as a whole then the movie's. The movie had a interesting plotline, and revealed a lot of info about the sacred beasts as well, though not everything was fully disclosed, it seemed they were heading somewhere with it but with grev sorta diminishing the presence of the sacred beasts I think it was dropped. Oh, and the cave scene. I....have a lot of talk about that one, I'm a bit too crazy and delusional about that particular scene to the point it'll need a separate post if its own (if I ever overcome my social anxiety and copy paste everything here)
Zeo is definitely one of my favorite characters in vforce (its the hair that started it I swear I want his hairstyle so bad) and surprisingly he was like one of the things I vividly remembered from my childhood when I was rewatching the series (now that I think about it, my fuzzy memories of beyblade as a child were mostly 60% vforce, 30% season 1 and 10% grev. Mainly because i think i missed a lot of grev as a child when it was airing and mostly caught onto the other two seasons). And yea while i do think if like the writers would've been given more time Zeo's arc along with the other arcs wouldn't have been so rushed, but still i think they did a good enough job, because I was definitely hooked during the final arc. Zeo is also an interesting character to analyse, like he was like first character to give the team a sense of normalcy because throughout the entire season everyone they had met was out for their asses and they couldn't catch a break nor could they have a normal beybattle like they used to without significant consequences. Also wished we got more of Zeo's existential crisis, how it affected and changed him and how he recovers from it and accepts himself (we see in that slideshow final ending in grev with Zeo looking through the window holding a violin. So it seems he found comfort in his hobby). Also that Zeo finding out about his true identity also helped him grow and mature in a sense (a person can't grow up without having to endure hardships, can they?). Like when we see him later on he's stronger and smarter.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Like here Zeo knew exactly what to say to get under Takao's skin (and Takao's emotional attachment to Zeo amplified the impact, along with Takao still trying to grasp as to why Zeo is doing this) and that Zeo is right here in a sense. They didnt interfere due to multiple justified reasons (they wanted to, but couldn't. And even if they did, not much would've changed), but it didn't change the fact that they didn't do anything, and Zeo just rubs some salt on the fresh wound. And in the jp voice acting, while it was faint, Zeo kind of sounded sad when saying "no one will come to help you". If we think about the situation Zeo is in, its....true. no one really can help Zeo even if they wanted to, all they could do was offer words of consolation and comfort. And Zeo was doing all this for self preservation (and I guess daddy issues, Dr. Zagart is....incredibly questionable), but deep down i guess he knew that there really wasn't much he could do to become human, become the 'real' Zeo who died long ago. He just didn't wanted to live his life as a phony, it was all just an act of desperation (just look at him breaking his arm and still going on, isn't that a good example?). And like at the finale while Takao does offer closure to Zeo, the fact remains the same that Zeo can't become someone else and must learn to accept who he is, which he slowly starts to embark on (and if Takao, or anyone really, would've said that earlier it wouldn't have had the same impact, Zeo needed to find his way on his own terms)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
And as to the impact Zeo had with his words on Takao, he's literally repeating Zeo's words here and musing over the complicated and conflicting scenario for the majority of the episode while everyone is rightfully shocked to see it coming out of his mouth, not really aware of that little exchange he had with Zeo previously.
All in all I love Zeo, I love the small moments where vforce really gets to shine, I just wished they got more time to expand and explore the entire storyline they were working upon into like two seasons instead of dumping it all into one season. I am, uh, understandably kinda crazy over this show and won't stop overanalysing it. This post is pretty much word vomit and probably doesn't make much sense. Uh. Bye.
