You have to understand. I don't "ship" Harry with the smoker on the balcony, I think whatever they have going on canonically is way funnier and touching than anything anyone could come up with.
There is so much within the dynamic itself. It’s a middle aged man and a younger man who are nothing alike and everything like each other. It’s the smoker being the person that kickstarts Harry’s sexuality journey anew, seeing Harry’s fascination with him and being amused by it because (aside from Harry being probably the first man in a while who’s managed to leave him dumbfounded in a positive way) the smoker *knows* what’s happening in Harry’s mind and as he puts it, it’s beautiful.
Don't get me wrong, the mutual attraction is there. The smoker flirts with Harry every other two lines (girl why the fuck are you flirting with a cop you're insane. I'm obsessed with you) yet makes fun of him in the same breath while Harry is absolutely clueless the whole time because he's too busy staring at his abs. Couldn't come up with anything funnier if I tried.
I love this high drama check, this is exaclty what it feels like to speak to clueless boomers who have no idea what they're talking about. Still, once Harry admits that he might be part of the "underground" as he puts it, the smoker is immediately excited and encourages him to think about it. It's very sweet.
(I know everyone has probably seen this dialogue 100 times by now but I love the phrasing here. literally twink_boutta_pounce.jpeg)
And as a side note I really like this emphaty check in response to Harry's little breakdown after the failed suggestion check the first time you meet him. The smoker like damn he just like me fr.
I don't think more smoker interactions were needed at all or that they would ever talk again post-game but it's interesting to think about what other converations they could have, even just so we could learn a bit more about him. They both have an interest in art. They're both stuck in a place they can't leave if they wanted to and yet find beauty in it, they both have regrets about past relationships. They both find talking with the other a charming experience in a way or another. If I want to be indulgent, they both could benefit from learning about what being gay means for a younger/older generation, especially since they both have such different life experiences with their identities.
It's all fanfic talk, and obviously no cops at pride and so on but their interactions did make me think about community and recognition through the other. A flirt for the sake of a flirt, a “maybe in another lifetime” but this lifetime is good too because they did meet and leave an impression on each other before parting ways. That's *beautiful* too.
#disco elysium#smoker on the balcony#harry du bois#they can boink too if you want them to I support you. honestly good for them#but overall I do think about the greater scope of their dynamic it's just. it's nice.#de meta#don't know where else to put this other observation but it's fun to look at how the smoker is framed from Harry's POV#I can't give specific examples bc it's basically all over the pov narration when talking to him#but it feels very femme fatale in a noir detective novel. it’s very refreshing to see that portrayed as a twink idk. I liked that detail#I mean you could argue that klassje is more of the femme fatale of the game and I’d agree with you#but harry’s bi he can have two of them. as a treat

A little reflection on lore and AUs
This is something that's been roaming in my mind for a while, I just want to put it down on "paper".
All of us have their main AU. And with AU, I mean a universe where their characters are canon in the KND lore and live their own adventures. All of us have a main timeline with the main characters that will go on living their lives and adventures.
This AU can generate more AUs within it, where little things change, and these will be labeled as "AUs" by the creator since they derive from the main plot but then develop into something else. And these kinds of AUs are fun because you can explore different possibilities within your own story!
Now, that being said, let's talk about "adding someone else's OC into your story". I see it can have 4 main situations:
The OCs and their lore are now fused with your own, and you accept the existence of said OCs in your story since they don't change the end result, if anything they make it funnier to achieve;
The OCs are a different AU and you know it, and you just play it as a different AU from your plot, it's just for fun;
This is a "different universes meeting" kind of deal, a portal opened somewhere, and now the AUs are interacting. They won't change their final story, but this is a fun little moment that can be canon or not;
You acknowledge these OCs may exist in your own universe but also specify that, even if they might have the same story and personalities, they also might be a different experience from the main AU the creator invented for them. They just exist in your universe, but they are not the same exact people.
I love the 3rd plotline a lot, I find myself doing that but with past and future, having them meet for the lolz (even if it's just an AU into my story). I am also up for RPing AUs meeting because I find the concept really funny and interesting, with characters explaining their deal and then going on adventures together (also because let's be real, Penny ain't gonna meet anyone's OC anytime soon since there's age difference).
But when I introduced the idea that @artsygirl0315's Sector PHP meets Irwin I started diving into the 4th case: these OCs might exist in my universe but they are not the exact same.
As an example, still using Sector PHP: let's say I will have them show up for the Nightmare War and help others win it. They will be canon in that part of the lore (if the creator wants), but of course, in their main story the Nightmare War never happened and they will never experience it, and I won't force them to add it to their canon, since this is completely my creation and *I* only know how to develop and end.
Another example (sorry for dragging you in but this is relevant lol), is @roguephenon, who has the plan to make Penny canon in his AU story, but she's gonna be a different version of Penny, even if they might end up having the same main traits. He can have Penny do what he wants, and he can modify her a bit, but still, Penny is now canon in my AU and his AU too! Maybe one day these two will also meet and tbh I LIVE to see that moment!
Honestly, usually, the fandoms I was in were canon-oriented, there weren't too many OCs, and if there were, I and other creators would go the 3rd route and have AUs somehow meet.
This is the first time I find myself actually wondering if I can make it somehow canon that someone else's OC exists in my AU. And I like it!
Of course, if you don't like the idea just hit me up (literally, with a bat) and say you don't want your OC into my lore but you're up for AUs meeting or whatever you prefer!
So far, I am just playing around with OCs meeting and having fun but... well, I do need people for the Nightmare War LMAO.
What do you think? What is your favorite thing to play?

welcome to fanfic I won't write fridays, where I talk about fanfic I won't write
happy dragon age 4 to those who celebrate it's time to put all my "pevensie siblings isekai'd into dragon age pcs" thoughts in one post
peter is the inquisitor; i considered lucy for this but she's more what the inquisition wants you to appear to be (a divine prophet protecting the people) rather than what you actually are (the head of a military organization with fingers in politics and heavy religious propaganda
edmund is the champion of kirkwall; the entire point of da2 is that everything is in shades of grey and there are no right answers, and edmund is painted as the most familiar with moral ambiguity and the most forgiving of it
lucy is the grey warden originally through process of elimitation but being dropped in a dying world, told there's a near futile mission to hold back the decay that's eating the continent, and not only facing it whole heartedly but succeeding so well you have time to run off and try to cure it yourself with no backup is EXTREMELY lucy behavior
susan is "sir not appearing in this film (until dragon age 4 comes out)"
all four of them land around the same time. lucy gets wrapped up in the origins plot immediately, and da2 happens mostly simultaneously iirc so so is edmund. peter is biding time doing the qunari mercenary backstory until da:i starts. susan is also biding her time but by clawing her way up the local social hierarchy.
DRAGON AGE: ORIGINS
lucy is a mage with the spirit healer specialization, but based on her canon weapon use i think also has traces of the arcane warrior.
duncan literally finds her by the side of the road and goes "hey kid you wanna fight darkspawn." lucy asks if they're evil and he says yes so she signs up immediately. a simple woman.
she absolutely makes the full party her bisexual polycule. yes even the unromancable ones. i have faith in her.
morrigan: i'm straight lucy: for now.
leliana is her favorite but don't tell anyone.
lucy adores mabari. absolutely nothing in thedas is more narnian than the mabari. when she meets her siblings again they are all going to be so fucking jealous that she has one.
lucy doesn't make alistair king because he seems like he's kind of bad at it and i think she can sniff that out. my sister is of the opinion that lucy would make him king and then marry him bc she knows she would do a good job. i think she only said this because she finds it funny.
however i do think lucy would convince alistair to do the ritual because she sees absolutely nothing wrong with him having sex with a woman he hates who turns into a giant spider sometimes.
lucy, has attended dozens of bacchanalia: who hasn't slept with someone they dislike while under the effects of magic? all her companions: where did you say you were from again?
she does absolutely kill loghain though because a. all the shit he did is deserving of an execution, b. edmund isn't here to stop her, and c. alistair threatens to quit if she doesn't and despite having a mabari he's her emotional support animal
DRAGON AGE 2
i couldn't decide if edmund was a mage or a warrior but i decided it would be funnier if he were both, because it has such hawke energy. you surpress his magic? he has a sword. you disarm him? he has a fireball!
i don't know what warrior specialization i would pick for him, but he's definitely a force mage
i think edmund literally falls out of a portal and saves bethany/carver's life so the hawkes just decide to adopt him. he's theirs now. leandra just full on lies and says he's her son. what the fuck is her brother gonna do about it.
edmund walks into the den of sin and darkness that is kirkwall, sighs, and rolls up his sleeves to get to work. he is going to make this city a better place one back alley brawl at a fucking time. try him.
edmund romances anders because he has "i only date disasters/i can fix him" vibes and i think it's funny for him to be a former sovereign whose boyfriend is a wanted terrorist.
but also the da2 polycule IS real edmund is just not dating everyone at once. he's busy and also i hc him as only into men. imagine what you want though this isn't a real fic.
sorry the image of edmund just pspspspspsps-ing all of his sad, angry, morally grey companions into being friends is so fucking funny to me. local man brainwashed by evil as a child is too full of love and the belief in second chances to say no to a blood mage, guy who is willingly possessed at all times, escaped slave who lives in a mansion full of rotting corpses, a cop, and a romance novelist who keeps stealing your life story.
DRAGON AGE: INQUISITION
peter has the qunari mercenary backstory, and is absolutely a warrior build. probably champion build?
also i think he romances cassandra. i considered josephine but that's more a susan romance. if peter were into men that way he'd be all over iron bull and he says as much after a couple drinks.
peter, cornering cullen after their first war meeting: you haven no military experience do you. cullen: please don't tell anyone. i need this job.
he takes one look at solas and goes "oh this guy is not normal. idk what his deal is but this is some kind of oak god at least."
varric doesn't know edmund and peter are siblings until edmund shows up and he is INCREDIBLY offended by it. what do you MEAN i've been calling you hawke for years and it's not even your fucking name. the BETRAYAL.
edmund: my ex-boyfriend blew up the chantry and started the mage/templar war peter: HEY DORIAN, MY HONORABLE GOOD FRIEND WHO IS GAY, HAVE YOU MET MY VERY GAY BROTHER
"well his family owns slaves that's enough of a project for Edmund"
you know the table mission where the warden send you a letter? instead of that i think lucy just turns around and immediately heads back to thedas. THAT'S HER FUCKIN BROTHER!!!!!!!! she shows up after edmund does obviously for maximum "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!!!!" drama
[scene: all three pevensies are roaring drunk in skyhold and casting members of the inquisition as Narnian creatures] Peter: I think Solas is a centaur. He's wise, respectful, and vaguely condescending. Lucy: [sniggering bc she clocked Solas] I think he's a wolf. Edmund: I think he's a marshwiggle. [Peter and Lucy absolutely lose it]
Lucy, halfway through stumbling back to her room: WAIT. DORIAN IS A PEACOCK. Peter, three floors up: [ugly donkey noise]
DRAGON AGE: VEILGUARD
obviously there's nothing 2 say about this yet
however i will say for certain that if there's a noble human background i'll be giving it to susan
idc that she literally got portal fantasy'd into this world. she's pretty and socially dangerous she wormed her way in there. she's got those diplomatic social climber stats.
she's also a rogue, no question.
#fanfic i won't write fridays#the chronicles of thedas#the chronicles of narnia#dragon age#lectures#yes i know it's thursday i hit post instead of schedule.

Any thoughts about the Reveal concerning Bloom's heritage? Who learns first, when, in what circumstances?
Okay there's different parts of the Reveal of her heritage. There's the general 'this is probably what you are' reveal, the 'your family is from Domino' reveal and the 'oh shit you're a Princess' reveal.
So the general reveal kinda happens right off the bat.
Bloom knows she's adopted. When Stella shows up and explains 'hey there's a world of Magic' and the whole 'Earth doesn't have Magic', they discuss what's happening. Well them, plus Bloom's parents and also Faragonda because Stella brings them all to Alfea.
Given the circumstances, they realize it's likely that Bloom originally came from one of the other Realms and ended up on Earth. It's not even unrealistic, as people do visit Earth (like Stella did in the first episode). So a family on vacation that gets separated somehow makes sense.
As for Domino
That happens during the Miss Magix episode as the focus is being rewritten.
So like. One thing I'm leaning heavy into with this is the 'presented as Fantasy but also very Sci-Fi' where all the different Realms are different Planets and everyone has different funky biology. This would be something kinda in the background but not fully explained until now.
Bloom was initially under a Glamour Spell, created by Daphne so she'd blend in on Earth. But now that she's awakened her Magic and transformed a few times, the Glamour has worn off. While her Faerie Form already had some dragon imagery, this is now 24/7 scales.
She wakes up with dragon-y features, freaks out, and the girls connect the above dots. She gets a crash course of the different alien biology. With Stella using this as an excuse to drag them to the Miss Magix competition as it's a fashion show that really highlights the different appearances (alongside different Realms' beauty standards.
Anyway!
Another plot point is that people, like. Know about Domino. The whole Incident™ only happened less than 2 decades ago, after all. And there's also a handful of survivors.
So people know what Dominians look like and can connect the dots with Bloom.
As for the Princess thing!
The first ones to figure it out are Faragonda and Tecna.
Faragonda is suspicious in general. Like at first she's fine to think that Bloom just 'ended up on Earth'. But Dominian features, plus being actively under a Glamour that someone had to have cast on her, Bloom being incredibly powerful, and then she starts dreaming of someone named 'Daphne' and..... well, if Domino's younger Princess /was/ alive, she'd be just about Bloom's age, right?
Tecna also connects these dots around the same time. Though she's unsure who to bring this up to. She does tell Faragonda who's like 'look I have also connected the dots but we need to investigate and be sure because this is something Major.'.
Later on we also get Timmy connecting the dots when the Winx explain everything to the Specialists.
We get a funnier moment of connecting the dots with Griffin because Faragonda takes Bloom to Cloud Tower to search their Library (instead of the sneaking in from Canon). And as Bloom explains what they know she's just side eye-ing Faragonda like "Girl I KNOW you have connected the dots just tell her already damn it".
I don't think the Trix /fully/ connect the dots, but they do realize that Bloom has the Dragon Flame for some reason. They probably question 'who the fuck is she to get this power???'.
Anyway!
Originally everyone who had connected the dots were doing the 'ya know what let's wait and see what all is happening so it doesn't freak her the hell out' thing and not telling Bloom
But then they realize that the Trix are an actual legitimate threat and not just 'school rivalry gone too far', and they're targeting Bloom, and ya know what she deserves to know why. So now the whole gang knows.
I think they're kind of in denial until they actually go to Domino and see Daphne's Ghost and all and it really hits 'oh fuck she's the lost Princess'.

Do you have any headcanons about how Vetinari ended up taking power?
Actually yes I do!
I wrote a fic about his first day in power that vaguely referenced this and while I don't have like, a fully fleshed out story, there are a few bits and pieces that I sort of bodged together from things in the books and what I personally find entertaining about him as a character:
There's a bit in Soul Music which says that there was a rat plague in Ankh-Morpork shortly before Vetinari came to power, and that his solution was "tax the rat farms". It's unclear in context whether this means he suggested it at the end of Snapcase's time in power or if it was one of the first things he did after he became Patrician. I've just gone ahead and assumed that the rat plague was the last straw for Snapcase and that actually having a good suggestion was one of the reasons Vetinari was in people's minds as a replacement
That then leads us to ask, well, what on earth was he doing there? He's been in power a fair while even by Guards Guards but chronologically must still only be in his early 40s by then, to have been in his late teens in the 30-years-ago bits of Night Watch (and he can't be older than that, because it's made fairly clear that he's in the Guild equivalent of secondary school at that time, and Vimes knows that the two of them are approximately the same age). Given his canonically hilariously long list of postgrad qualifications, he probably went straight from Assassins Guild grad school to the Oblong Office, more or less. Conclusion: he was the fucking INTERN. (or possibly working as a clerk, but calling him the intern is at least 500% funnier)
Given the running joke about him being this weird posh dude who doesn't seem like a threat until you remember where he was educated, I would imagine that his whole "ah capital jolly good here I go getting slang wrong again" bullshit started here. We know that among the Ankh-Morpork elite, pretending to be stupider than you really are is something that can both keep you safe and help you get away with a lot, because we see Vetinari and Vimes and Sybil do it. So this is where he got his practice. Bertie Wooster the FUCK out of your working day, quietly get on with the things that need to be done while nobody's looking, and nobody will realise because they just think you're Madam's weird nephew with the shit beard and the puppy
So, bearing all that in mind, picture this:
Snapcase is dead. The important people (at least, the people who think themselves important) converge on the palace. In a small room off the Oblong Office is a young man steadily working through a large pile of paperwork. Oh, yes, that's Madam's nephew, you know... Havelock, isn't it? They ask if he knows what's happened, and he says no, he has no idea, he's just been working his way through all these regulations, and gosh, they really are very dull. And... well... nobody else is here. And nobody else seems to understand the filing system, or the rest of the staff, or anything really. But he does.
This guy's had a few good ideas when he's been doing the minutes at various meetings, that makes him a plausible candidate surely? And he's so young, so he's going to need a lot of guidance from helpful, experienced folks, right? How useful. He's just smart enough not to be an obvious puppet. Very handy indeed.
And the cream of Ankh-Morpork society being what they are (truly the cream- rich and thick) they don't realise until it's far too late that this lanky goth weirdo they'd thought would do their bidding knows everything about everyone and he's been quietly furious about the result of the Glorious 25th for over a decade. And, whoops, they'd somehow forgotten that he didn't spend all of that time on Guild postgraduate courses doing resits. Oh dear. And now he's their boss.
#patricianblogging#i have wanted to go into detail about this for AGES thank you for giving me an excuse

Talking about brocons, people being annoying and other stuff.
Anonymous asked:
I’m sorry when did someone call Idia a brocon in canon?!? 👀
Asking for reasons….
It happened in Book 5, Episode 5-13, near the end of the episode! As Cater and Lilia were explaining the Shrouds’ situation to Yuu and guys, Grim commented that Idia is a total brocon, or something among the lines lol
Anonymous asked:
Cater saying he wants to date Vil + Cater's union birthday saying he wants Vil as a brother = canon brocon Cater methinks
Oh my god… Cater really said “but what if Vil is my brother AND we’re dating”. This boy is either very confused or very kinky, probably both 😔
Anonymous asked:
the Asim siblings are so interesting, like, are they close to eachother? how can they keep track when there are so many of them? what do they think of Kalim, do some of them resent him? are some obsessed with him? the latter in particular gets funnier if you have other siblings that instead decided to follow in their big bro's footsteps and joined the Jamil fanclub. the two groups would argue endlessly about who's better. than add in a third group that just likes them both and might even ship kalijami...
now that I think about it, I've seen some fanworks where Kalim tries to convince Jamil to call him onichan. would that make him a brocon? I guess for Kalim it's less about the idea of having Jamil as a sibling, and more about him being someone that Jamil can rely on without needing too many formalities between them, and the first thing that comes to mind is an older brother... Keep dreaming Kalim, the dude literally sees you as a toddler to babysit!
Hmm, I think they aren’t super close, but those who are closer in age are more likely to be friendly with each other + those who have the same mom (let’s be honest, there is no way all of the Asim kids were born by one lady). And the younger ones probably love Kalim much more than the older ones, both because he is better at connecting with kids + because the older ones technically still have a chance to take Kalim’s place if they’re lucky. But they’re never openly antagonistic; the “default” state for all of them is that Kalim is their beloved older brother that is always playful, fun and kind.
There absolutely are some of the Asim siblings that are obsessed with Kalim and THERE ABSOLUTELY ARE some of the Asim siblings that are obsessed with Jamil!! Imagine looking at Jamil your whole life and not getting obsessed?? lol Jamil would probably think that his own little Asim fanclub is the worst thing to ever exist (having Kalim only is troublesome enough…), but wait until he learns about the KaliJami fanclub… Kalim’s little sisters watching these two always being together and being closer to each other than Kalim is to his actual real brothers? They absolutely ship them lol
Kalim really is such a toddler though… And while I don’t think his wish to see Jamil and himself “as brothers” is in any way related to anything brocon-like, I do think that he really wants to express that his bond with Jamil is special.
Alright, now we’re entering the people-are-annoying territory.
Anonymous asked:
Normally I'd ignore the "don't sexualize the underage pixels" crowd but I love overanalyzing things and could write a mini essay on them (It's weird but I might do that, could be fun). The thing that stands out most is the obvious hypocrisy. Kids kids kids, if you play TWST you don't get to say this stuff. Even if you don't know it's for adults or who Yana Toboso is, look at the cards! The game itself sometimes sexualizes its own characters! Even the first and second years! You harass the fans but give the creators' a free pass? You're not saying "it's wrong to sexualize fictional minors!" you're saying "it's wrong to not make money off of your thirst!" and "it's only wrong if I don't like the final product!" You're not mad that adults are creeps, you're mad that they're not pimps! If the developers ever publicly distance themselves from certain fans, you guys will be the ones called out, not the people who simp over Ortho and freely admit it
Yeah, Anon, this is one of the most annoying things. When they cancel a piece of media + an author + everyone who enjoys the same piece of media, at least it’s somewhat consistent. Still quite stupid, but it’s not trying to sit on two chairs at once. But when they harass artists and writers that are doing fan-content for a piece of media, but then completely ignore when the said piece of media does it… I always remember that twitter argument about how Ortho isn’t shota-bait and therefore the antis have all the rights to enjoy twst since they aren’t weirdos, plus all the endless talks about how Ciel isn’t at all sexualized in the manga and how there is nothing at all sensual in the way the official manga art for Kuroshitsuji is drawn… at times things that they say sound honestly quite concerning (i.e. things that they consider platonic or fatherly), and if I didn’t know for a fact that these people are just bluffing, I would’ve become worried about their own life experiences. But yeah, thankfully, this is just them trying to punish people for thirsting for twst characters and then somehow do it themselves without being called out for it. They enjoy that piece of media critically, which means they’re off the hook! Not like the “weirdos”!
I had a point to make, but I just got salty lol
Also yep, you’re completely right: the developers/the authors tend to distance themselves from the type of fans that ultimately negatively impact the enjoyment people get from their product, and it’s never the type of people who ship characters and draw smut with them. Really makes you think.

I just want to say. I voted for Yang "protecting" Blake from Ruby. Out of character for me? Yeah. But consider:
Weiss sticking her weapon in Whitley's face, despite all the outrage, was a just a gag. And we all know crwby are just shit at writing comedy post v3. Their brains got infested with terminal unfunny brainworms that sucked out the ability to make a good joke from their system. They couldn't make edgy jokes anymore because they realized they had to pretend to be a progressive company, but that inclination to be meanspirited as fuck is still actually there inside their souls it just shows itself in a different way. And honestly listening to Kerry Shawcross trying to squirm his way through an explanation for it was much funnier than the joke itself so I'll give them that. Yeah sticking a gun sword in the face of a 14 year old is totally character development material I definitely can tell you went to a very professional and important school for writing Kerry (and he did which is also much funnier than the original gag also). Did it mess up Weiss' character? Not really she's always been a bit of a self centered trigger happy bitch. Slay ig!
Yang protecting Blake from Ruby? One moment that destroyed like... 2 characters. Blake for being the pussiest ass bitch and Yang for being herself post v4. "But you just don't understand abuse victims!!!" Yeah maybe but Blake was introduced to us as someone who could 100% hold her own. She didn't need to be reduced down to someone who needed to be protected from scawwy angwy Ruby. Imagine v1-v3 Blake in your head and imagine Ruby yelling at her, could you imagine she would have reacted the same way? I don't even need to explain Yang like truly what kind of behavior is she exhibiting where she implicitly choses protecting Blake from literally nothing over her little sister. Um !
Now look... It's common to reduce a ship down to the "soft uwu baby who needs to be protected" guy and the "I will protect you" guy in fanon. We've all done it. In our heads. We've all blurred canon so hard for a ship we enjoyed. Ever read one of those middle aged woman eroticas or just any fic on ao3? It's normal. But when canon starts doing that that's when you know youre fucked, son. MKEK are so bad at writing romance all they did was take the common woobification of a couple that fandoms do everyday and made it canon. They literally just made fanon canon.
Also the abuse victims excuse is dumb as hell they wanted us to laugh at Weiss threatening her abuse victims brother with physical violence (when we know canonically Jacques was not above threatening his children and hitting them if he was pushed to that point <3) but now I've got to sit here and act like crwby gives a fuck about portraying victims just because of a ship. Booo.
They didnt do this with Weiss' character btw. We see her get uncomfortable around conflict but never to the extent of what they did with Blake. The difference? Weiss isn't a part of a popular fandoms ship.

i. think this was a comm. i don't know. all the samlil i ever write is for quill whether explicitly or otherwise. this follows the end of the good ending where they both are able to leave the casino and live together out in the real world... oughhhfhsjkh i feel so majorly ILL about samlil all the time even when i'm not talking about them!!

run for roses
lone wolves week 2024
this was my entry for this year's lone wolves week! i was only able to get 2 chapters in because i was really busy with junior thesis around this time and i had to finish writing something else for an exchange (see number 5). nevertheless, it was super fun!
on chapter 1... the first one was because the chikage gekka ssr backstage made me SICK. like. if you haven't read it. please do. i'll like the translation here. it drives me SO MAD. like the ring is so important to chikage and losing it would make him spiral SO BAD. also after i posted this my friend was like AHA I FUCKING KNEW IT SOMEONE WAS GONNA WRITE ABOUT THE RING like OKAYYY JUST BECAUSE I'M PREDICTABLE OKAY!!!
chapter 2... i like little catholic boy hisoka. that's the entire thing basically. i have no words i just think they're really really neat. :((
also i got really obsessed with run for roses by nmixx, hence the title. it's just such a banger okay!

banri settsu's no-good, very-awful first day of school
banri & kazunari, humor
okay this was super silly and self-indulgent for the FUNNIEST reason. basically, my friend is going to (university) to study animation. our mutual friend graduated from that same university and course. we were like IT'D BE SOOO FUNNY IF (mutual friend) ENDED UP BEING YOUR TEACHER and that's how this was born.
what's funnier is that the friend in question? yeah, their sister was one of my thesis advisers. i walked into class and went "................. oomf, is your sister's name (redacted) by any chance....................... dawg i think she's my prof." so, that was a time! (i got an A. thanks oomf's sister)

(all i want is) Your Grace
madomasu, fantasy au, meet cutes, 5+1
this was written for a little server exchange! i was spinning it around which is why i wasn't able to finish run for roses lmao.
actually, i ended up worldbuilding a lot for this fantasy world, although most of it doesn't end up in the fic itself. the way magic works in the fantasy universe is kind of how language itself works... conveying a meaning and conveying power to make it do stuff. so different people do magic differently! like tsuzuru has script but citron does it moreso via music, etc.
in this one, citron was originally from inverno (winter kingdom) but ran away to live in vesna with itaru. i have azuma as the queen of inverno if i'm not mistaken? and then... i think azami as the future king of haust? with sakyo as his guard? or something... ermm.
then sakuya is the current king of vesna after his parents died and left him the throne at a young age... with chikage being his most trusted adviser and close confidant... and also basically being in charge tbh. he does a lot of things for selfish reasons (whatever's good for him) but he's also grown to care for sakuya so he sometimes does things for him... but he'll never admit it... august was the king's guard and then chikage was the knight's commander... something something very trusted. i'm sick. i love this au.

Verdant
chikaita, tojomachi, harugaoka quartet
this just in: the harugaoka quartet liker likes the tojo backstage. so i read the backstage and it's SICK. it's TWISTED. it's ILL. they were not just schoolmates. they were LONELY. but they were LONELY TOGETHER.
here's a scuffed tl of the play part in case you're interested because it genuinely makes me so insane. names carrying meanings and wishes for your children... this is JUST LIKE GEKKAGUMI. ANYWAY.
god they're so in love. this made me SICK. i'm SICK.

Tritanopia
bansaku, royalty au, soulmate au
this was a little exchange with raina! i wrote her this, she wrote me kazuchika in exchange. hehe. :3 i love royalty aus and i love soulmate aus (this will be apparent).
i like soulmate aus but i also like thinking about how they would work/be regulated if they were considered to be a part of daily life. normal occurrence. everyone has a soulmate it came free with your living in this universe.
this one is the "when you first meet your soulmate then you see color" au. which is fun to think about because like if you've never seen color how do you conceptualize it. when you see color for the first time everything is just different...
i don't know, i just like thinking about soulmate aus. there's something about it. also something something the whole soulmate thing is how banri doesn't get his ass killed. but yknow.

chikamerl, chikatsuzu, kniroun week, kg adjacent
did i. okay yes i did. i did ramble about chikamerl in the 2023 wrap up so i will spare you all the horror of it. i just missed them. qkg compliant. technically a sequel to the previous chikamerl fic.
i. don't know what to say that doesn't involve just me going through the entire qkg lore so just. take it. my beloved mentally ill anime boys.

Birds of a Feather
itaru & sakuya, kniroun week, role study
the concept for this was "sakuya doing role study for mordred" but it turned out a little more chara study... ermm. it just features itaru rambling about kniroun lore while sakuya does his best!
if i may be honest this is probably my least favorite kniroun week entry because dawg i could have done so much better. i could have COOKED HARDER. but it's fine! it's perfectly lovely as is <3

Cineris
merlmord, tsuzusaku, kniroun week, playverse
i'm not normally a tzsk shipper but merlmord drives me MAD. there's just something about them.
it was super fun writing in merlin's pov because he's such a little shit. he's putting on the nice guy act but he wants to tear murder kill destroy. merlin writing so mentally ill that you would have thought i already finished p5r by this point "what does that mean" don't worry about it.
and mordred too has that... there's this balance between the guy who genuinely just wants to do good and the guy who wants to prove himself. which, of course, are not mutually exclusive, but especially younger,,, mordred is so lawful neutral, you know?
i like them. very much. also there's more made up kniroun lore in this one. i love made up kniroun lore.

When the Sky Falls
runull, tsuzumizu, kniroun week, kniroun origins, playverse
err. runull loredump here. i don't know what to say aside from just talking about why runull makes me crazy for the 27438975483rd time.
this one's in second person because it's supposed to kind of mirror the second person visual novel style of kniroun origins, and "you" don't have a name because you typically just input your own name when you're playing the game.

A Normal Day on Knights of Round Chobitter
chikaita, kniroun week, cbt oomfs to lovers
what if chikaita were mutuals on knirountwt. that's it that's the entire fic. this one was just silly and cute and itaru finding comfort and happiness in loving something and sharing that love with the world is something that can be so deeply personal thank you.

beautiful (just not today)
juza-centric, body dysmorphia, it's not transfem juza but it's not NOT transfem juza, also body horror
i'm gonna be real, i wrote this up in like an hour on a whim. this is based on the makg au which is based on that one dollhouse set featuring azuma and muku on the cg.
the fic says no context but i'm here to provide some context as a treat! the important context is that there's a gallery with wax statues, each with a nameplate on it alnd protected by a glass case. the statues are of the mankai members (and other side charas like godza, sakoda, mizuno, etc). the characters in the dollhouse event have been turned into porcelain dolls (azuma, hisoka, yuki, banri, and itaru), and the goal is for the other still-human characters to become dolls too. to be pretty and loved. so some characters (including juza) have been partially turned porcelain (dollified) in some body horror shit. the parts that have been turned porcelain on a person also become porcelain on the wax statue. doll meter.
juza has. complicated feelings about this whole thing. because it's juza. i wrote this based off rui's interpretation of juza (since she's the one writing juza in this au). but he... kind of wants to become a doll? tbh? like.... to be pretty... loved by the little miss of the dollhouse who turned them into dolls... etc.
in the rp, juza is the first other character outside of the dollhouse set who fully becomes a doll. fun! fun. makg ily. i will fix the minigame mechanics soon.

Keep Up
bantai, canon compliant, fire up! mantou fist, character study
this was a comm for my friend lyric which featured the funniest message ever: "but i am very different from banri so i could never really figure it out. i thought u would be the person to turn to for it!" LIKE. OKAY. ABAC I GUESS (ASSIGNED BANRI AT COMMISSION).
while i was outlining this fic in my head i was actually mumbling to myself about what happens as i was walking to uni campus. so random people walked by me hearing mumble shit like "and then banri goes god fucking damn it nanao taichi you fucking idiot" because he IS.
there's a deleted scene from this one where taichi actually gets a fever from overwork and banri looks after him while also calling him stupid and not understanding how you could possibly work so hard that you physically get sick. me too, oomf. banri gets complimented for working hard and literally cannot wrap his head around how to respond to it so he just goes nah and deflects. u just like me fr. maybe this is why lyric commed me.
also, i was writing this around the time the haikyuu movie came out, so i got to watch it! kenhina as my chara study for bantai (unironic).
also with regard to one of the lines in the fic, i also posted this on my priv: (the typo is supposed to be what taichi *heard)

The Case of the Triple Oddity

Nanao Taichi's 6-Step Plan to Figuring Out Which Crush is Real (So You Can Confess and Get the Romance of Your Dreams)
taitenyuki, taichi & muku, getting together
this one was a comm from someone who requested silly taichi flirting and taitenyuki! it was my first time writing taiten or taiyuki (although i do love taiyuki and should write more taiyuki). i asked some of my friends for silly movie-esque ways of flirting and got the stuff you see in the fic.
meet-cutes was so funny given that they already know each other and literally live together. i think that taichi deserves a lot of love and a lot of kissies!

some things just make sense
sakushu, post-canon
... so you can guess when i started playing p5r.
anyway, can i interest you all in the sakushu agenda? i just think there's something about them yknow. something so. so! okay. i don't remember how i got started on this. probably when i was on vc with quill playing p5r.
in my head they used to live in the same small town. sakuya's got relatives there so he was there for a while. they got together and cared each other very much. they were each other's first... a lot of things. they ended up breaking things off when sakuya had to leave because they weren't. like. long distance wasn't good for them. but they still care each other.
i think after this fic they hang out a lot. reconnect. they both are in tokyo for the long haul... they can try again. right person, wrong time, but now it could be the right time. idk. i like sakushu.
also i hadn't finished playing p5r when i posted this, i think i was literally only like up to like. 3rd palace? or so? so i was very worried about writing akiren and that's why he has like 4 lines LMAO but i was very mentally ill about akiren since the moment i laid my eyes on his stupid catboy face <3

The Spring to Your Smile
taisaku, fluff
this one was a comm for raina who requested cute sakutai fluff!
i've been to a handful of arcades in japan, so i used what i knew to write it. i actually really like taisaku, so it's kind of a shame that i don't write it enough! this is actually my first taisaku fic... that's crayz...
there's something about them yknow. so lovely. shaped. i wish them a very happiness. taichi will spoil sakuya so much.

love me, love me, love me
akiren-centric, canon-compliant (kind of)
the fuck you mean this is only fic 20 out of 30. did i really write that many in the last 3 months of the year. christ. okay anyway.
so i finished p5r in august and er. basically went crazy. now my head is full of p5r. (i also finished p4g in 2024, though i haven't written any p4 fics. the p1 manga as well!)
the idea for this one came to me in a burst of inspiration in the middle of me rambling about one of the 749832742 aus i have come up with to ruin akiren's life. guess my favorite p5r character. i dare you.
this fic is for a specific interpretation of ren's parents. i don't actually have one solid hc for how i think his parents are like, so i just do whatever fits the vibe. there's something here about how his parents are like... highschool sweethearts who had a kid they weren't ready for... so they got married but it strained their relationship with each other and with the child. yknow?
also, yeah. the title is literally aishite x3. so, yknow. thematic.
i also made it a point in the end note that arsene isn't in joker's mask because OURGH there's something about what that means symbolically that makes me unwell.

21.
baptize (don't worry about tomorrow)
shuakeshu (kind of??), drinking, alcoholism
so i'm like. half a psych major. and basically i was trying to come up with what a lot of the persona game mechanics mean in terms of psych concepts. so like, for example, tv dungeons are manifestations of psyches where the id is repressed too much, while palaces are manifestations of psyches where the id is not controlled and allowed to just run wild, that kind of thing.
i explain this in the end notes of the fic, but basically i think there's two routes for call of chaos if it hypothetically just allows your instinct to do whatever: thanatos (anger, destruction) or eros (horny).
also really funny because like i think a few weeks later someone posted an akeshu fic where akechi uses call of chaos on himself and then gets horny or something? i was like welp. that's freud for ya!
anyway i was talking to quill about how call of chaos works. because the initial thought was actually "i sure hope akechi doesn't get permanent brain damage from fucking up his brain chemicals so much." and then quill points out, that's kind of addiction bait. and then i was like HMMM. INTERESTING.
so in this fic it manifests in alcoholism because alcohol tends to reduce inhibitions the same way call of chaos does (although it's a depressant. LISTEN DON'T QUOTE ME ON THIS I'M NOT A MED STUDENT.) also because i love giving random charas drinking problems. and smoking problems. yippee!
anyway the funniest part is that i was writing this in the middle of my industrial/organizational psych class. lmao

Coming Up Aces
akiren-centric, post-canon, 5+1
this is actually. basically the first fic i had in mind after finished p5r. because i'd been reading p5 fics and akiren's life fuckin SUCKSSSSS after canon. which is perfectly reasonable to assume and i think is probably true.
but also. he's my baby. so i wanted to give him some nice things. hence, this fic. just... something about how much he's grown and changed as a person in the year that p5r takes place. all the things he's learned from all the people he's met.
it's something like, he's changed so much and all his stats are at 5 now. but he's always been just. justice, as a central theme to p5. yk.
this is also written with like. very, very background shuake. like, i think it's most evident if you read the erudite section. because the essay he writes and submits is... basically about akechi. there's so much background shit in my head about this fic but it all tastes like akechi. is akechi dead in this one? err, who knows? i don't know.
actually, that part was my favorite to write, drawing from some stuff i learned in my own jpn lit class. the heike monogatari is like an account of the genpei war. minamoto no yoshitsune (same yoshitsune as in the game, yeah) was one of the great heroes who fought against the taira clan alongside his brother, yoritomo. but as the story goes, yoritomo was the reason yoshitsune died - betrayal.
yoshitsune is a tragic hero in japanese literature. maybe THE tragic hero ever. and so we get these kinds of notions of japanense heroism:
aside from that, there's something in there about how akiren recites more in class because he's looking for someone to debate with like he did with akechi or even makoto sometimes, but no one really engages him the same way unless its like the teachers doing presentation discussions and shit. also, sato mentions that the class is doing sengoku period next. which is a funny reference that is also akechi-coded because haha akechi mitsuhide.
in my head like. the history and literature classes are connected, and typically study the same period at around the same time. so both just finished heian/kamakura, and are moving onto muromachi period.
i love all the stupid cringefail npcs i've created for this fic. i have so, so, so much to say about it. akiren's got a mini confidant with both hiroki and sato. also, katsumi and ennis from harugaoka quartet get namedropped, and itsuko in part 5 is named after my extended uraomote universe homare, who is kondo's wife.
also, fun fact. i... submitted the lit review for my thesis late because i was writing this instead. anyway.

ichijyushi, beach
this one was for the hypmic gotcha for gaza on twt! crazy... me writing hypmic fic in 2024 was not on my bingo list, but hey! it was fun, actually... i kinda missed it. ichiro isn't a character i write often, but he comes relatively easily to me.
i like him a lot. buster bros still number one! not much to say about it, but i like ichijyushi and jyushi's cringefail crush on ichiro.

"is this fucking fic titled after summer time love by kazunari miyoshi" yes. also i didn't realize i got two beach fics in a row, but hey! this was also for the hypmic gotcha for gaza. they specifically requested a beach fic, so i was like dawg, i GOT YOU. ramuda pov my beloved, i haven't written you in so long...
fling posse makes me really happy, so i'm glad to have been able to write them again! there's something about them that makes me... yeah. :3

the woes of being a plus one
tsuzuomi, halloween
this actually isn't the next fic i uploaded, it was actually the shusumi one, but i'll get into that later because i split it into 2 chapters. this one was for lav for a halloween server exchange!
i... learned that writing tsuzuru is kind of ass. i'm kind of ass LMAO. i don't have much practice writing tsuzuru not in conjunction with harugumi, so writing tsuzuomi was a bit of a challenge... but i had fun, and they're cute!
i asked my friends what would be a funny couples costume, lav said sun and moon, and i was like bet? bet.

Monsters of Veludo
azashifu, monsters of verity au, enemies to . something
this one was written for the mankai charity zine! oh BOY i have words about this au. this was one of the aus i pitched, along with devil's gambit and fmab... silly. anyway.
most of the background au stuff of this au is in the little accompaniment pdf of the mancha zine, so actually, you should read that! but generally, the premise is more or less that acts of violence create monsters - like, literal shadow creature stuff. in the series, there’s 3 types of monsters, based on how horrific your violence was, but in the fic, i only included the coolest one: the sunai (what shiffy is).
theres like a future scene in my head where like after azami kills someone for the first time, intentional or otherwise - and this is after he and shifuto start to become friends - shifuto sees him and knows something is different and. "oh, azami... what have you done...?"
hmm i have a spinoff au of this that's not othe same universe because that one is manknai compliant and features itaru, tsumugi, juza, and homare as monster abominations (and sakyo.) kiketsu au my beloved... i'm happy to talk about that one too tho!

27.
ideals of the blank future and beyond
shusumi, risky game, actors au
yeah so this happened. sumire is so gekkagumi. she's so forgetting who you are and living as someone else. she's so struggling to move on and move past what happened. she's so it should have been you why did you leave me here. you can't hate her enough to hurt because you'll never hate her as much as she hates herself.
and so i wrote sumire risky game.
this started because, as i usually do, i was assigning charas of my most recent interest (p5r) to a3 plays. and then shusumi mentioned, and then i was like, ohhh, it'd be so fucked up if risky game.
the other cast are akechi as ledley because it'd be so funny and i wanted to make him say the little chicks line, haru as eda because thematically appropriate, ryuji as oliver because... i mean yeah. and then makoto and nicolette (dominic) because i just think it's so funny to make her play a little spoiled rich boy.
in this au, it's basically all of the phantom thieves in a theater troupe. they're putting on risky game right now, and it follows the plot of the risky game event story, etc etc. there's just something about it. they made wadakuma play catherine in the esute risge stage and i was like oh my fucking god.
it's mentioned in the fic that kasumi was a gymnast and sumire is an actor. basically like. kasumi and sumire's career paths diverged when they were younger, sumire goes into acting a la yumi p4 and kasumi continues with gymnastics. the year kasumi dies, sumire "lives as her" (though not literally, since no persona au). so she goes back to like gymnastics and all that to try and keep kasumis memory alive, but yk she kinda ass at it. she's super out of practice and she has no love for it aside from a misguided sense of keeping her sister's spirit alive. theres a line in the grave scene where sumire says shes been keeping up acting the past 2 years. that includes the year she was acting as kasumi.
i don't have any experience writing play scripts, so i just kind of copied oomf's from the times he's asked me to check his.
i will not start rambling about risky game and norman, but just know that it's SO FUCKED UP. god. it's so fucked up. they make me so upset.
other stuff gets mentioned in the end notes of the fic! so if you're curious, you can check that out. i have other thoughts spinning around my mind (such as yusuann clockwork heartbeat, shuann stray devil blues, shuake scarlet mirror, etc... also several people have suggested shukita nocturnality and like. i see it.)

burning red
shuakeshu, soulmate au, post-canon, canon compliant
i didn't realize that this is actually my second color-based soulmate au fic. i'm typically a soulmark, names sort of girlie. anyway. this fic was for a persona winter exchange that i joined.
actually, it was supposed to be a different fic. i have that other fic plotted out, but i wasn't able to finish it because it's quite. long. and dramatic. and plot heavy. but it's vampires + soulmates + royalty. something about akechi being a vampire prince being betrothed to akiren the human prince and then... they're soulmates...? but vampires don't have soulmates.................. wow that's so weird. anyway, i'll post that fic one day.
until then, burning red! the title is from red by taylor swift (sorry) but like i think it's very. yeah. losing him was blue like i've never known... missing him was dark gray all alone... forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met...
umm. the colors are fading because akiren genuinely believes that akechi's dead. but they won't ever go away for real while akechi is still alive. soulmates tied not only to cosmic power but also persona perception. cognition. very p5.
the part about robin hood using samarecarm to heal akechi and save him after shido's palace is also ... yeah. quill's hc is that's how it happened and i was like omg real. so true.
i'm gonna be honest, i'm personally of the belief that akechi should stay dead at the end of p5r (thematically), but also i will not complain because i love making akechi alive.

Sentimental Value
tsuzumizu, itaru & tsuzuru
this one's for the a3 holiday exchange! it's tsuzumizu but actually, mizuno isn't there. i wanted to write something about tsuzuru looking for a christmas gift for mizuno, but with a spin on the whole, "just write him a play!" because... y'know, i feel like he would. of course. think of that. that's his default, actually. and what better person to ask than mr. gift giving himself, itaru chigasaki?
i actually wrote this while i was on vacation lmao. on my shitty ahh phone. the screen is glitching so it gets hard to write fics on there, but. yeah! and it's up~ also, gratuitous annoying itaru. i love annoying itaru.

akechi-centric
wrote this the night before my birthday as a personal birthday gift to myself. "akechi trying to kill himself?" yes. listen. mr. "i didn't plan to live past 18" OKAY. OKAY. did he actually want to die (in this fic)? personally, i think not. but it's up to interp. i dunno man. he just possesses me.
also i hope you guys like the akiren characterization, because i love to passively characterize ren in akechi-centric fics.
akechi is stupid !!! it's only the question of is he just naturally a dumbass or is he willfully being ignorant? he always thinks ren can see right through him, which he can, but the core that he thinks ren sees is always like. some kind of curled up sad crying pathetic thing. when thats not what ren sees. this is a constant in my fics its always akechi being like oh he thinks im pathetic. oh hes gonna try to kill me. like NO BITCH GET A GRIP!!!
need this guy to get some therapy.

bonus!
with(out) this
juban
i got really mad at this one juban fic i kept seeing that really irked me from the description alone so i was like bro i bet i could write a better one and i don't even LIKE juban. so yeah.

THAT WAS 2024! grah. that's so many. hope to write more in the coming year! let's see... my tenma zine fic will make an appearance in the 2025 wrap up, as well as probably... more shuake fics. fuck this baka life.

Behold, Shinichiro and Mikey's generation swap (with ranomi) (still a pretty shallow concept)
@chaoticdelinqueerwithglitter
I'm still unsure as to how much I keep the same events as in canon (with only the ages changing for the characters but their roles being kept the same, ex: Shinichiro's death)
That being said, since it's ranomi, it's Bonten and Bonten means at least dead Izana and dead Senju - that's non-negotiable
All the canonical death being kept would help a lot navigating the au, though. ranomi is far easier when there's no shinomi present, requited or not (but them both happening at the same time would be sooooo. SO.)
The Haitani don't get role swap - Ran remains the oldest and Rindo the youngest, the contrary is.. impossible to conceive, it's a farrr too foreign idea for me to think about
S62 is younger than Mikey's generation - Izana was younger than Mikey (and Emma)
Which means that Mucho was younger than Sanzu. is?
Focusing on Akashi because yes: if Takeomi was 0, Sanzu (and Mikey) would be 9, Senju (and Emma) 8, Ran 6 (and Rindo 5) - Shinichiro would be 1
Is it still Takeomi and Shinichiro's friendship that pushed Sanzu and Mikey's friendship to form aaaaaaaa I don't know, let's ignore that
Mikey turns to delinquency as a teen, Shinichiro follows because of course and then so do the Akashi
Since he's the youngest here, Takeomi is less impacted by God of War and whatelse - he can still hold his ground, and appear collected when he's panicking inside his head but he stays openly true to his easily-frightened (even if he doesn't admit it), sensitive to critics, self than his canon counterpart - that being said he still has moments where he's being boastful and immature
being the youngest means it's easier for him to allow himself to be vulnerable
The idea of Ran getting closer to Takeomi to piss off Sanzu is funny (also - Takeomi sees right through him but let's him do anyway, mayyyyyybe because he's starved for affection even if fake) BUT Takeomi thinking that is what is going on meanwhile Ran takes some more weeks/months before going 'WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME THAT WAS SANZU'S LITTLE BROTHER' is, I have to admit, far more funnier
Also - no one knows about their relation, their keeping their situationship mostly hidden so no one knows why Ran is panicking that much to the reveal-
Mikey keeps an eye on Shinichiro (and Takeomi) and what they're doing with their gang (it's not explicitly stated but the entire underworld knows better than to mess with it. also, everyone picks up on the 'Sano' name + physical resemblance)
That being said, Akashi being Akashi, no one has any idea who Takeomi is to Sanzu
First time Ran sees Takeomi he thinks he's just a young thug that may need correction (partially because Takeomi's being a brat-)(also he stepped in Bonten-ish most important building) so he beats him up a bit as a warning - that is because what follows next is hilarious (to me) okay, picture: Ran bumping into Sanzu later on and Sanzu is speaking to that exact same bratty thug (uh, weird), bratty thug, with bandaids on his face, notices him and answers to Sanzu's (worried) scolding that he just fought some random guy and that his injuries aren't even that bad and Sanzu should 'see the other one'. Sanzu's not happy with that because he truly doesn't care just tell me who it was already meanwhile Ran stands there. with very few injuries compared to Takeomi. Not knowing who he is, but knowing it's someone Sanzu takes his time to talk to and not in his usual demeanor and also that kid most definitively just saved his ass by hiding he was the one to beat him up and clearly avoiding to say shit to Sanzu. He now has a favor toward that kid. fuck. (but at least he's saved from Sanzu's reaction, whatever that might be if he learns Ran's the culprit)
Mikey fully intends to take Shinichiro and his gang in if they refuse to leave delinquency - he's not letting him without his protection in this world. By such, it starts to get noticed that, uh, Takeomi is good at talking. Uh.
Fanfiction would preferably starts around that time (Takeomi reaching adulthood and making his negotiator-skills known)
Ran teaching Takeomi how to play pool. no need to elaborate.
Does Takeomi's scar stays.. ughhhh... what about Sanzu's.. UGHHHHHHH
Other stuffs I'm not thinking about
I didn't think about what would happen of Toman. ACTUALLY. OHHH SCRATCH EVERYTHING I SAID SURI, WE'RE MAKING TIME LEAPER SHINICHIRO TIME LEAPING BECAUSE HE WANTS TO SAVE BONTEN-ish MIKEY. AS IN, NO ORIGINAL TIMELINE. I MAY HAVE SOMETHING THERE. I DONT HECKING KNOW. I NEED TO SCREAM ABOUT IT THO, SO WE'LL FLESH OUT THAT IDEA EVEN IF IT NEVER GETS WRITTEN (little brother Shinichiro looking up to his older brother, little brother Shinichiro losing his older brother to the world cruelty, little brother Shinichiro who finds a way to change that, Sanzu who tags along, Mikey and Takeomi teaming up at the realization their brothers are plotting something)

((OOC pinned post time!
This blog is a roleplay blog meant to be an in-universe blog for Sidney Poindexter from Danny Phantom.
Anyone can interact or send asks, RP blog or not. In fact, asks are very much appreciated, seeing as this version of Sidney was murdered and he/his death would probably be well-known.
Supplementary material for this blog (such as the Wikipedia page Sidney mentions in the blog description, as well as some in-universe True Crime videos on Sidney) can be found here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/53753875/chapters/136071178
Mun is over 18, but muse is NOT. (Well. Mentally and physically he's not. He's been dead longer than that but... He can't mentally and physically age.)
This blog will definitely dip into some angst and darker topics at times, due to being run in-universe by a dead, bullied kid. I will try to tag things with the appropriate trigger warnings.
Bullying mentions will NOT be tagged, as the posts falling under that trigger warning include pretty much the entire blog.
More information about this blog below the cut.))
Headcanons:
Died after being shoved into his locker right before Spring Break and left there to starve.
Is a fairly famous case in the online True Crime community due to the mystery around what exactly happened, and the tragedy of him being so close to graduation.
17 years old, permanently.
Left the Ghost Zone at some point after the Christmas Truce, because he realized how many ghosts are bullies who are stronger than him, and he's afraid of a lot of them.
He hangs around the school because it's where he died and he feels an attachment to it. Danny gave him the go-ahead to go back to causing problems for bullies.
Tried to get Vlad to sue the Amity Park school district for him, but they don't have a case.
Blogs I consider to be within the same "canon" as this blog (either because I've interacted with them or because a blog I've interacted with has interacted with them):

trio saddled with a baby AU
tesilid is the one who brings the baby home. obviously.
hestio losing his mind bc why would you do that, are you sure you can look after it?!?!?
ephael: 😔 leave it be hestio you know how tesilid is (ephael is already mentally thinking about what accomodations they need to make for the new member of their household. i love characterising ephael as an enabler)
we can't use canon universe bc their social positions are literally so bad, i don't think they'll adopt a baby. pretty sure any kid they adopt without a layperson partner will just end up being a stigma bearer as well, and i can't imagine any of the three being okay with burdening a small vulnerable baby with that. esp since they're not even home half the time bc of dungeon raids
so modern AU it is!!!
hestio & ephael have only just graduated from their orphanage. tesilid was adopted ages ago but his new parents kind of sucked so he left as soon as he could, and now the three of them are trying to eke out a living
okay i actually already had a whole setting for their background in modern AUs for the zombie AU but im lazy to rehash it here so maybe this is my sign to go back to that zombie AU
the three of them absolutely hated growing up in the orphanage so if anyone suggested they just put the baby in the system, they'd be like. hahaha. no. 🙂
doesn't matter that they're in a new city or state altogether and that the baby wouldn't even go into the same awful orphanage. not a chance.
on paper tesilid is the guardian
in practice hestio is the one most trusted with looking after the baby's needs, because tesilid has the best career out of the three of them and is often not home, and ephael is. ephael
i cannot decide if i want hestio to gradually warm up to the baby or to instantly be code switching around it
hestio @ ephael: WHAT ARE YOU DOING GET OUT THE KITCHEN BEFORE YOU BURN IT DOWN
hestio @ the baby: aww how's our widdle one doing? 🥰 you're hungry? okay hold on a second!
i think it's funnier if hestio was able to instantly code switch, but frankly i do not think he has the social aptitude to know what to do at first. bc although he's not going to yell at or be judgemental towards a baby, that's how he's been interacting with people his whole life
the modern AU in my head uses round 0 tesilid's characterisation, so he's still sticking to the rules and whatnot and wants to raise his kid to be an upstanding and honourable citizen. unfortunately his co-parents are hestio and ephael and they're rule flouters
wait im pretty sure i wrote about this scenario about how theyd pick their kid up from the principal's office before (found it)
when it comes to caregiving ephael's pretty trustworthy as well, it's just that every now and then he loves throwing out ridiculous ideas and watching hestio shoot them down. sometimes he carries it out, but nothing ever really goes wrong too badly
all three of them might already have decent knowledge of infantcare bc of their time in the orphanage. except maybe tesilid. unlike most baby AUs i think the main conflict is the different ways they approach it
#trio with a baby au#i just realised three men with a baby is an actual movie name#which involves drug trafficking#which the trio would definitely not do#so.

The Demon King Chapters 18-20
05/30/24
Guys, Idk what happened, but i could've sworn that all of the name day stuff happened AFTER mam and mari died and han/bird... i guess not.
Chapter Eighteen:

HANSON 😭
i hate elena 😒 like, i realize that she wouldn't take dancer as an apprentice bc of the naeming or whatever, but why would you break his heart like that?

Lucius being broken up bc he thought he was the reason that han, the last of alger's wizard descendants, died 😭.

the way that we all know which prince he's talking about 😒
Chapter Nineteen: (TW// IMPLIED/REFERENCED SEXUAL ASSAULT)
THIS CHAPTER TOOK ME OUT, I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE WAY LATER ON!

he's such a slut 😭

❤️🩹

i hope averill did recognize him, tho, that would have been so much funnier

I just love this line, it really highlights the beauty of this story <3

great... he's making his first appearance.
Also, he and Raisa dated at some point-- i'm assuming BEFORE he got his name as Nightwalker. Which means that a 13-14 year old Raisa was dating a Nightwalker that was anywhere from 15-17? This book gets weird real fast when u start remembering the canon ages istg.

Willo was only 15 😖

WHY DID THEY HAVE TO TELL THIS STORY IN FRONT OF EVERYONE? revealing willo's trauma in front of the entire camp is just terrible.

I am a firm hater of Reid Nightwalker Demonai 🫶
Chapter Twenty: (TW// IMPLIED/REFERENCED SEXUAL ASSAULT)

He's so real for that 🫶

Willo has been trained her whole life that wizards are evil, and their powers come from the breaker, and then she was r@ped by one. But she loves her son, and believes that everyon part of him is good. But, then again, the powers he has are the reason that the clans are forcing him out of his home. ofc she's confused 😭

It occured to me that if all of the Alister descendants have been fostering at the camps, there's a chance Willo had to know Daniel and face his loss doing the exact same thing.

Hanson, the two of them love you like family 😭

Don't be shy, say it out loud.

fucking demonai 😒

THIS IS A REAL MAN 🫶

5 and Violetta. But this time, can you get something else than Angie babysitting Vilu? Those are really cute but I wanna see what else kinds of babysitting stories you can create.
5 - Someone is babysitting.
Alright - so, babysitting is always interesting in dcla because no one in canon has any child that is of an age where they need a sitter (except for maybe Esmeralda's daughter Ambar. When I think about it, that would be hilarious... but it's not what I will write today). Which means you have 4 options: 1. Go into the future, where someone babysits someone's future kid 2. Have it still be set in the show's present, and create kids for them to babysit. Someone's younger cousin or sibling, maybe. 3. Have it be set in the past, when one of the characters was young and gets babysat by someone. This is one I often pick simply because I just love the idea of Angie bonding with Violetta in her early age, and Violetta causing trouble that Angie needs to fix. 4. Go bananas and let a character randomly get regressed into a kid and then they need to be babysat while someone tries to get them to go back to their normal age. I will choose to have it be set in the past again. This time it's Camila, who is around 8, and her 3 younger sisters. I first thought of having it in the present and let Camila's friends help her babysit her sisters, but I thought it would be way funnier if she also was a part of the kids causing chaos. The babysitter, I first thought it would just be someone random, but to make it more funny: It's Priscila. By the reason being that I think Cami and Ludmi were born around the same time and their mothers hung out when they were babies, and now Priscila is doing her mom a favor... by seeing what happens when kids get raised in an opposite enviroment.
"Thank you SO MUCH for doing this, Priscila!" Mrs Torres said.
"I owe you from the time you babysat Ludmila when I needed to go to an appointment."
"Well, the girls are all in the living room. Girls! We're leaving!"
"Bye!" several voices called back. Priscila was a bit baffled that none of them even went up to wave their parents off. She'd find it a bit rude if her Ludmila would have done that. Nonetheless, these girls must still be pleasant. Not that she knew them very well, and she had not really kept in contact with their mother a lot either besides some brief phone calls and catching up whenever they ran into each other in stores, but how hard could this be?
She stepped into the living room, where four girls sat on the couch, watching TV. The oldest was Camila. She recognized her immediately. She had a little baby in her lap, seemingly the youngest. The other two seemed to be around 5 years old, and was dressed exactly the same. Priscila knew Mrs. Torres had twins, but last time she saw them they were sleeping a stroller when the family was out grocery shopping.
"Hello," she said.
"Hi," Camila said. She and her sisters were way too busy watching whatever kids show was on to even pay attention to her. Priscila glanced at the screen, and frowned.
"What kind of kids show is this?"
"It's not a kids show," one of the twins said. "It's an adult show."
"Why are you watching an adult show?!"
"Lola needs to get cultured," Camila explained, "She will never be anything if she just watches teletubbies."
"Who is Lola?"
Camila stood up, holding the baby. "This is Lola. I'm Camila."
"I know. You've grown so much!"
"And we are Eva and Ada!" said the twins in unison, so you could not tell who was who.
"Quick, sit back down, he's about to shoot him!" Eva or Ada said. Camila excitedly sat back down.
"Look, Lola!" she cooed to the baby, "Violence!"
"No!" Priscila said and instantly turned off the TV. All the girls started to mutter and complain. "How long is your TV time?"
"TV time?" Camila asked. "We just watch TV as long as we feel like it."
"You don't have a TV time? My daughter has a maximum of 1 hour every day, and she needs to take a break after every 20 minutes."
"Your daughter seems to have a very boring life."
Priscila sighed. "Maybe you need something to eat."
-
It turned out, the Torres girls did not have any table manners whatsoever. Priscila expected the baby to eat messily, but she was by far the cleanest out of them all. The twins ate with their hands like wild animals and Camila chewed with an open mouth.
"Is this how you eat in public?" she asked, horrified.
"We're not in public," Camila argued.
"Yeah, and at home we can be free!" Eva or Ada exclaimed, making everyone cheer.
"I think you should have a table manner everywhere..." Priscila said. If this was her own daughter, she'd scold her right away. But since this wasn't her kids, she was so unsure what to do. And it got worse.
"Ada! Think fast!" Eva shouted and threw a meatball on her. Ada laughed and threw it back. The two started to have a food fight.
"Hey, I wanna have a food fight too!" Camila said, and one of the twins threw a carrot on her. The three laughed as they threw more and more food on each other. Their baby sister just stared blankly into thin air and Priscila started to lose her mind.
She stood up and slammed her hands on the table. "ENOUGH!"
The girls stopped.
"It's not okay to throw food at each other. Food is for eating! Look, you scared your little sister."
Camila looked at the baby. "No, we didn't. She just pooped her pants."
The twins giggled and Camila took out Lola from the high chair. "She always does that face when she pooped herself." She sniffed at the baby slightly and then handed her over to Priscila. "Go change her."
"Me?"
"You're the babysitter. We are just kids. We don't know how to change a diaper."
Priscila hesitantly took the baby. "Alright, but you need to clean this up when I am back!"
-
About half an hour later, Priscila came back, barely wanting to hold Lola, as she put her down on the floor. The others noticed Lola was wearing a completely different outfit.
"Why did it take so long?" Camila asked, "For me it just takes a minute."
"Wait, but you said you didn't know how to change diapers?"
Camila smirked, "I was just joking because I wanted you to do it."
Priscila sighed. "Have you cleaned up in the kitchen?"
"Yes."
Priscila went inside. Indeed, the kitchen seemed to be clean. She felt a bit of relief. At least they could do something. She decided to open the cupboard to get a glass. She needed some water. But as she opened the cupboard...
"AAAAAAAAAAAA-"
The girls came running in after hearing the blood curdling scream. They started laughing as they saw Priscila covered in food.
"Did you like our prank?" the twins asked in unison.
"I thought you said you had cleaned it up!"
"We decided to have some fun and put all the food in the cupboard instead!" Camila explained.
They noticed how Priscila's eyes started twitching. They found that to be even more funny.
Priscila stomped into the bathroom to clean herself up. As she got back up again, she was met with a new scenario. The twins had the bright idea to get the toy wagon their little sister used to practice walking to ride down the stairs with. Camila was the one who was pushing, fully into this idea. Lola meanwhile, had been left unattended and was heading towards the DVD-VHS player, planning to lick it. Priscila instantly ran to the baby to get her away. At the same time, Camila pushed the twins down the stairs, and the wagon came in rapid speed, crashing into Priscila.
Everyone was laughing as Priscila was on the floor. But now Priscila truly had enough.
"ALL OF YOU! TO THE COUCH, NOW!"
They all sat down as she tried to take deep breaths.
"No more," she muttered. "You will all sit here until your parents arrive!"
Camila glanced at the window. Then she smirked. "Okay."
-
Not even a minute later, the front door opened.
"We're home!" Mrs Torres announced.
Priscila came up to them. "Oh, thank heavens..."
"Have the girls been good?"
"Well, you see-"
"Aww!"
Priscila was caught off guard. The girl's mother was now staring at the couch, where all the Torres girls "magically" had fallen asleep.
"They must've really tired themselves out. Thank you for babysitting, Priscila."
"I... no problem...?"
The parents went to take off their coats as Priscila got one final glance on the girls. That's when Camila opened her eyes, and gave Priscila a smug, almost evil looking face. She wiggled her eyebrows and then closed her eyes again.
Priscila barely said goodbye, and decided to never set her foot in that house ever again.
#yes eva and ada are cami's younger sisters and you have no proof against it#violetta#camila torres#thanks for the ask!#drabbles#priscila ferro

In light of the idea that Ingo and Mai extend their warden duties to include rescuing eggs/offspring of raging alphas, maybe Mai was not only full of shit when she said she'd had been raised with the munchlax from birth, if questioned she planned to say that you misheard her and that she had raised the munchlax since it was born.
Gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss, that's her motto when it comes to the galaxy team. They probably do actually give her a lot of trouble since most of the survey people are probably in the fieldlands, and I think the ride pokemon and their wardens are supposed to be guides to people they run across who need help? That's as best I can guess anyway, since we don't actually know what wardens, y'know, canonically do. But if that was her role, then she'd certainly be kept busy rescuing survey corp members from shinx on the daily lol.
Though I do like the idea of Ingo and Lian starting around the same time and Ingo giving him the goomy to protect himself, probably fairly early on in their tenure, because that means in the time it took Lian to raise his goomy to level 15, Ingo got three pokemon (actually likely his full team of six but he only battled with three the first time because that's what you do on the Singles Line) that he raised to level 40. Which is an unfair comparison because Ingo is a professional and Lian is 12-ish, but it's still kinda funny to me. Although there is the chance that maybe Lian just doesn't actually need to use his goomy much and that's why it's so low leveled, because when he goes out Lord Kleavor goes with him in order to protect his tiny, squishy, infant warden. He is very unimpressed with the idea that goomy, who is also a tiny, squishy infant could protect his warden, he'll just do it himself, thanks.
mai really does seem suuuuper unimpressed with the galaxy team as a whole the first time you talk to her. she really doesn't think highly of them after watching all of them fail to stop one singular kricketune, and if you back out of the battle with her by saying "not really" when she asks if you can handle your pokemon in battle she'll literally say "how unsurprising" lmao. which, if munchlax is actually not her real partner, it makes way more sense why she's so judgmental of the security corps for failing to beat a kricketune that she also clearly cannot beat, glass houses mai. normally it wouldn't be an issue, if it weren't for the terrible timing!
@ixtaek also pointed out that in the massive mass outbreak questline she fails to tell munchlax apart from a zorua after being like "of course i can identify my partner!" which is true and makes that SO much funnier lmao. on the outside she was like "naturally this will be no challenge at all for me" but internally she must have been going "shit shit shit shit"
re: goomy being Squishy it could also be that goomy (and by extension, munchlax) are so weak still Because they're babies! in other fics, i've written it that pokemon don't know moves from birth and don't even start battling until they've matured a good bit. so it could be that both of them only recently hit the age where they can battle and start being trained. in that case, ingo might have given lian goomy in particular not because he thought it would be a strong partner, but more just bc it needed special attention and he was already dealing with other young/recovering pokemon from other alphas. so he just killed two birds with one stone, and gave lian a potential partner in the process. (and lian accepted because despite being a warden he is still a 12 y/o boy and ingo handed him a gross slug and told him to be best friends with it, of course he loved it)
also re: ingo's insane level jump compared to other warden fights, i actually think that the first time you fight ingo in the main questline he was doing the subway thing and actively holding back, so it's not just level 40 i think his pokemon were already level 70-something lmao. tangela is an exception on account of it not being evolved and probably the most recent addition, but the other two. the rest of the wardens otoh just don't know how to, do that, because they are not former facility bosses. there's nothing really to support this theory i just think it's fun

(Reedwhisker anon)
If the Erin's do confirm that Reedwhisker was in the same litter as Prim, Pike, and Perch, the only way I can figure out why he went through two years of apprenticeship hell is, well, a Serious Head Injury. Maybe Tigerstar sets up something to make himself look better. Reedpaw is only 1/4 Thunderclan, so maybe a 'show,' to make it look like he's going to have Reedpaw killed, and he talks to Darkstripe about it. Darkstripe accidentally messess up, maybe or maybe Reed hits his head on a rock during the whole thing before Tigerstar can do his whole generosity thing and spare him, and well. Everyone is confused when Reed doesn't get up, and then maybe he has a seizure or something? Idk Canon isn't my mess to fix.
Misty AU, I can actually see Mistyfoot just...physically pulling Reed close to her after Tigerstar is killed, and that's when Shadowclan realizes that oh. Reed is related to her. It's kinda even funnier if he looks like her, but they just didn't place it.
Leopard AU...if Misty is with Thunderclan's battle party when Bloodclan is introduced and Tigerstar dies, and Reed is with Riverclan's cats after Shadowclan flees, I can also see her just...walking over and lifting him up by his scruff and walking back to Thunderclan's party and Firestar is like...wat.
Stormpaw: "That's Reedpaw! He's Mistyfoot's kit." *he tells the fire pelted leader, before butting his head against Reedpaw as Stonefur attempts to get Misty to set Reed down, but it's not going to well.
As for the whole Tigerheart name thing....this boy personally voices his opinion to Twany next time he sees her too. He tells her directly to her face that she is a shitty queen, and a hypocrite.
But for The Kin and Darktail thing...in Canon, if he's from a second litter, I feel horrible for Misty. She's lost her first litter, Stone, Storm, and Feather, and now her son...is prisoner to Darktail. In Misty AU and Leopard AU...I cannot not see her going absolutely feral. Feather trying to keep her calm but Feather's regressed a bit, terror for her brother shining in her eyes, and Storm's pacing back and forth in Thunderclan camp, tail lashing. Stone probably wants to pull a rescue (if he's still alive) but Misty can't put Thunderclan or Riverclan in danger anymore then it is. Hawk, Moth, and Frog all uneasy and unhappy and twitching. They just don't know what to do. Maybe those three with Alder, Violet, and Twig stage a rescue and get everyone out. Or he's stuck as a prisoner to the Kin until Darktail is dead. Either way, big family cuddle pile every night for a moon or two. Maybe longer with Misty and Feather.
(Tried breaking this up with spaces, hope it works.)
yes thank you...greatly appreciated.
ooo that head injury idea is good! i like that a lot. yes. very good. i'm unlikely, like. i don't really care about reedwhisker as a character so shrug, i'll probably never do anything with him and the weird age stuff, but i like this as a solution! yes. very good.
dfjkldas yeah ohmygod. reedwhisker and mistyfoot walking to a gathering together and russetfur is like "oh my god we're all fucking idiots."
heh yeah. she probably would be! her and stormpaw. and she sees reedpaw and is like. "THAT'S MY FUCKING SON" and is very happy to see him. thunderclan comes home with more cats than it left with. but everyone is so happy to see him again. he's so happy to see everyone again. good reunion times.
mistyfoot is Not letting reedpaw out of her sight for like. at least three days. probably longer but at least three days. reedpaw is fine with that. he's very excited to see everyone. stonefur. god. yes. good family reunion times.
and yes -- god. i love. okay one of like. my fav things about tawnypelt (in the misty au) is this disbalance in their experiences. because -- to be clear, tawnypelt is also traumatized by tigerclan. but her experience is so fundamentally different like -- hm. it's not even.
excerpt time yes. some stuff from tnp i'm many whiles away from publishing.
so feathertail like actually doesn't remember very much of tigerclan. not in any specifics. it's all a very hazy mess with some key moments.
Feathertail wants to make her name them all, but Feathertail doesn't think she knows what they are. "What are you apologizing for, Tawnypelt?"
to face the burning heat
but tawnypelt does
"I—" remember how you screamed, Tawnypelt's mind supplies. I remember when I didn't understand. I remember everything, Feathertail. "I'm sure. I'm sorry for that, and every other time."
trying not to face what i've done
and yet. it's a hugely formative thing for feathertail, in a way that like -- tawnypelt doesn't get.
"No, we can't, can we?" Feathertail says. Her posture has changed, her ears folded back, and Tawnypelt shrinks.
trying not to face what i've done
like tawnypelt recognizes what's going on but she doesn't realize how deep she's cut
Brambleclaw is watching them. He has stepped back, Feathertail realizes, there is nothing between Tawnypelt and herself. She could — she could leap. Feathertail is frozen, her hindlegs refuse to move, she can't — she can't do this.
to face the burning heat
and yeah. so what's my point?
well, it'd be the same thing here, wouldn't it? because again, tawnypelt is one of tigerstar's victims. everything else aside, he's not like. he's emotionally abusive to her. he ties her self worth to his approval and he's not afraid to twist that thread to keep her under his thumb.
"Stop fucking whining," he snaps and she flinches.
let me write my own line
so to her like -- yeah. her whole decision kind of makes sense. because tawnypelt is -- not intentionally, but she's a very selfish character.
"What are you apologizing for, Tawnypelt?" Feathertail says this like it is a question, like they are not both staring at the result of everything Tawnypelt has done. Brambleclaw is watching in silence. I'm sorry, brother, she thinks. "Say it," Feathertail spits. "Tell me what you're sorry for."
trying not to face what i've done
like she's --- she's worried about her perception, here. it's complicated because she does apologize, she does let it come out, but she's also very concerned with her own image.
and that happens again when she names her son tigerkit. because she's thinking -- i am reclaiming this. but to everyone else, she's naming her son after a monster, she's openly invoking that comparison, like. i already think tigerheart has a very very complex to negative relationship with his name.
(especially once he becomes leader.)
so with that in mind -- yeah. first of all rip tigerheart for the comparison but second.
reedwhisker is Not having it. 0%. what the Fuck are you Doing tawnypelt.
i think -- honestly, i think mistyfoot would be angry with him for going as far as calling her a bad queen. right like, i don't -- i think that would be a step too far for her. but everyone in riverclan and shadowclan and all of the clans are supportive of reedwhisker.
(i saw a think about tigerkit being golden and goldenkit and -- my heart. feels things. goldenheart. i love it. hm. i literally have it saved in my au ideas folder. "oots except tigerheart is named goldenheart. that's it. that's the only difference.")
and yeah oh man the fucking kin like man. god -- i'm actually working on something about that? about how like -- it triggers mistystar's ptsd? anyway.
but yeah -- for Minimal Angst (and canon coherence) i think reedwhisker would be the only kit in her litter but i imagine like -- mistystar is very protective of him because of course she is, very reasonable. and so for him to be taken from her is just. unthinkably cruel.
and yeahh -- she would be really, really, really angry. this is what...like 8 years later? and still -- oh first of all.
just. the angst of -- because stormheart and stonefur were not there for the worst of it. and even though they saw the aftermath, you know, okay actually.
shadepelt would be probably like. very upset about the bodies. because the whole reason she almost died was that she tried to bury bodies. and stormheart like -- he hasn't really seen shadepelt like this. not really, not in a long time. hnng. good.
but feathertail is -- yeah. she's Retreating to Safety. even after this much time she's still very close with mistystar, and i don't think -- after reedwhisker is held hostage, i don't think she'd want to separate from her.
and everyone is so angry and frustrated and done because -- this isn't fair.
i think hawk, moth, and frog would definitely attempt a rescue. (i mean if i wanted maximum angst one of them would be held hostage as well. just for the record.) and --
oh i've talked about like. the angst of seeing your parent like. hurt. and this hurts them Again.
like it's hard, right? and even if they're adults feathertail is still their mom but she's scared and ohh. good stuff.
but yeah, rescue attempts. oh. maybe in the rescue attempt one of them gets captured. maybe like. hm. idk. maybe frog and alder. idk. but they get themselves captured and -- because alder is kind of like a dad to violet and twig and now there's So Much damn family angst.
but when it's all over -- mistystar is going to have a Lot of cats in her den for a while.
i'm not sure if/when mistyfoot and feathertail stop sleeping together? like maybe at some point but yeah. feathertail is like. "hi mistystar this is Our Den now."
(mistystar is fine with this. she's somewhat less fine with the fact that stonefur, stormheart, and reedwhisker are following suit because her den is like. big enough for maybe three or four cats to sleep comfortably, and hawkfrost, mothwing, and frogheart keep sneaking in, and she needs to be able to get out of her own den she is the leader oh my god, but only a little because really she just loves them a lot.)
