“This is getting ridiculous.” Duo glared over at Heero where he sat at the other side of their office. “You keep staring at me like you want to say something. Out with it!”

This is my redrawn/redesigned artwork/concept art of six alien/dimensional creature characters of mine (From left to right: Qualord, Octara, Palsofie, Osi and Moza; except for Kyle from Home) in my unnamed Crossover AU project from my previous old one (below) I did back in 2017.

And plus, the name of the society was immediately changed from "Team Alien" to "Offcast Gang", which means that every alien/alternate/dimensional creature character of mine (except for Kyle) was immediately expelled from their home planets/dimensions for their reasonable methods, that they stubbornly refuse to give disciplined and excessively limited rules and the legislations of their native homelands (mainly due to Octara becoming self-willed and independent from her ominous ink-based Octarian homeland in Octo Valley due to an event after the first Splatoon game) and then they become individual and separate from their disposable ones on further journeys throughout the galaxy.

And yet, regarding my old OCs next to Kyle, I wanted to introduce you:

Qualord - he’s the probable leader of the Offcast Gang. Moreover, he’s a dog-like big buff alien who once lived planet Fosian with some inhabited by the same species as his was called as Fosikos. He was banished from his own planet to across the galaxy for piloting his spaceship when he refused to continue participating in the hostile and conquering Fosiko armies and even marauding and poaching societies against other alien societies/groups such as the peaceful and passive society of cat-like alien individuals called Felicuses in the separate planet Catsmos.

Osi - he’s a little armless bipedal and one-eyed monster, who was once a former doctor/medic and scientific expert on his underground homemland called Monotopia on an unknown fantasy-like planet in the Universe B2, but was expelled for his excessive and genetically characteristic habits for being too much smarter and more worthy than his fellow Fuulscat individuals, who seem too much stupider than him. Moreover, he speaks with a distinctly elegant voice, similar to a voice of an elegant but historical human scholar, and he also enjoys reading many types of books as well as novels.

Palsofie - a dwarf dragon-like alien prisoner (with an iron mask that allows him to cover his mouth from endless fire breathing) who escaped from Aguaali Prison on the planet Srewxi, even he was a former member of the Horly Gangs (a criminal and robbery organization together with four of different alien species) until he was caught and arrested by the police after a bank robbery incident. Though, he speaks in a muffled gibberish, as the mask completely hinders him. Also, The name of his alien species is Karstak.

Moza - she is a fairy/pixie-like small winged creature, who occasionally lived in a small town called Laafitown (covered beyond the grass near the edge of the forest) on an unknown fantasy-like planet in the Universe B2, the same place as Osi did. Yet, she must possess various types of magical abilities (especially nature elements, for example) using pollen-like materials from each used bag and wand or other items she received from her fellow wizard, Slateous, and others. Also, the name of her species is Laafiza. And an interesting fact, some people (including Kyle) who first saw Moza, accidentally confused her with a child, but in general, Moza is an adult, it's just the case that she is naturally chibi-like smaller in stature, like her fellow Laafizas in general.

Octara - She is a 25-year-old female Octoling and was one of the former commanders of the Octarian Armies in the Octo Valley. Then, in the first Splatoon game incident, specifically when Agent 3 (now, Captain in the third game) was fighting against DJ Octavio during the final boss, the pop idol duo, Squid Sisters (Callie and Marie) performed the Calamari Inkantation to get Agent 3's support and even that attend the Octolings (including Octara and Marina) get inspired by this performance to their new feelings within, After that, they managed to escape from their undervalued and unprofitable homeland and assimilating into Inkling culture, hoping to start anew. Even for Octara, it still opened up her new destiny to become self-willed and independent, to do things on her own terms than her fellow Octolings did, and then a few years later, at the age of 21, she finally left Inkadia via a passenger spaceship to travel across space and galaxy to another dimension called Universe A2 on the planet Alteria, so that Octara needs to get a new job at an environmental company called Squi Inc., while it is run by the CEO of this company, actually the politely noble Twintacle Octotrooper, Iroham Toutentakuru. Also, when she is assigned as a member of the Offcast gang, first of all, as she and her comrades first met Kyle during their events, but first Kyle was like the first secretly in love with Octara because of her physical appearance and so on, and she also has a crush on him back during their bizarre and comedic adventures, moments and journeys throughout the galaxy and he even saved her during a battle against a volcano-like destructive entity, Vulkaavr in the Osi and Moza's universe, and eventually she and Kyle became together and married after all.

And besides, I had fun redrawing some of my characters in their new but better look than before. And I was even lucky to draw Kyle again after a long time.

Also, I hope you like it.

I don't know why so many people hate Rouge's current design so much. They say it's censorship, but in all honesty, Rouge's current design is vastly than what she originally had.

Rouge's SA2 model always looked clunky and awkward to me. Even as a person who loves big tatas, I never liked Rouge's SA2 model. Her model in that game looks like a poorly compressed human body or something.

https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/sonic/images/8/85/Rouge_1.png/revision/latest?cb=20140316203722

I think Rouge's design looks great in Heroes and everything onward. The shape of her body flows more naturally and it doesn't look like she could fall apart at any moment.

I love how she looks in all of these.

Rouge's body shape in SA2 felt like it was trying too hard to be sexy. Rouge's current body shape has much more shape appeal while still keeping the flirtatious vibe.

(And the same people who complain about how Rouge looks now are the same people who draw her as a hideous bat monster so I kind of automatically dismiss their takes on these things lmao)

People have a bad habit of going "CENSORSHIP" or "WOKE" when a design they like is even slightly different than before

With how they complain about Rouge's current design, you'd think that they turned her into a nun who's always covered up. In reality, it's just sonic fans doing their thing of complaining over nothing.

If Rouge had gigantic tits in her next appearance, I'd be into it. But I see no reason to complain about how she looks now. And I definitely don't see any reason to claim that her new design is an act of "wokeness" or censorship.

I haven't seen anyone complaing about the shape of her body. The issue lies entirely with her newly covered back, which is impractical because it looks like now she wears her suit over her wings. Interestingly enough, it's the same change they made to Amy in Prime.

At this point why not bring back her Heroes outfit? :P

As usual, it's not something I will lose sleep over, but it's weird, unnecessary, and doesn't fit the root "problem", if Rouge's sexiness is indeed a problem.

Is it a betrayal if it was always inevitable?

~~~

The sound of flesh hitting flesh was loud in the windowless room, as was the groan of pain that followed. Steve stood shoulder to shoulder with his father, overlooking the proceedings, even though he found it hard to keep his eyes trained on the person tied up in the chair who was getting the shit beat out of him.

Eddie, who has been working for the Family for six years now, let out a cry of pain as he was hit again, and Steve schooled his expression so he didn’t let on how difficult this was for him to witness. After all, he told himself; Eddie deserved this. He betrayed the Family – or at least that’s what they were here to determine. Lately, there had been too many slip-ups. Too many mistakes. The police had shown up when they weren’t supposed to, acting on information they couldn’t have gotten from anyone outside the Family. Someone’s talking to the cops, Steve’s father had said, a couple of weeks ago when he called Steve into his office, for once without anyone else being there. We need to flush that rat out. You take point. It’ll be a learning opportunity for you.

So they’d set a trap. Planned an operation and given different dates and times to different people, and then kept a lookout for when the police showed up to raid the place. The cops had shown up on a Thursday afternoon, which narrowed their suspects down to four people. Two of those had been at the compound for most of the time between them receiving the information and the time of the fake-operation taking place, and had been able to account for where they were for the rest of the time. That left two people who, incidentally, Steve had really hoped it wouldn’t be:

The first one was Billy Hargrove, son of Neil Hargrove who had been working for Mr. Harrington for over thirty years. Billy, like his father, was useful for his brawn, but he was brighter than his father had ever been and he showed great potential. Steve and he used to get drunk together as teenagers, and Billy had acted as his impromptu bodyguard even then. They’d been close back then – very close – but as they got older and Steve’s father started molding him into his successor, Steve had felt the need to put some distance between them.

And then there was Eddie Munson. His father had been a part of the Family way back in the day, but he hadn’t exactly been a family man while he was alive so Eddie had grown up with his uncle out of state. It wasn’t until his uncle fell ill and Eddie needed help paying the hospital bills that he contacted the Harringtons, looking for work. That was six years ago. Steve had taken him under his wing and found that he really liked the man’s carefree disposition and general outlook on life. If Steve was honest with himself, he might have developed a bit of a crush, which he of course did his best to squash, as it wasn’t fitting for someone in his position.

None of these two men could account for their whereabouts for the period when someone must have leaked the information to the police; there were gaps in both of their stories, and periods of time where they hadn’t been around anyone else in the Family. But where Billy’s gap was easier to believe (“I was home alone, having dinner and then crashing on the couch”), Eddie’s was as an outright lie (“I was … uh, with Billy. Uh, I mean … I was at the diner. We were … at the diner.”). When asked, Billy frowned and shook his head, denying spending any time with Eddie that night.

At that point, Steve knew that both men were lying, and green-tinged anger twisted around his heart. Because he’d seen them, that night – had stayed late at the warehouse downtown to finish up some work, and when he’d been about to leave, he’d happened upon the two of them in the dark alleyway outside the building. They’d been kissing. Steve had watched them for long enough to make sure that he hadn’t misjudged the situation, and then he’d backed away, unseen, into the shadows.

Now, he could understand why Billy wouldn’t tell the truth, especially since it wasn’t just Steve there when he accounted for his whereabouts; Billy’s father was not a nice man, and he wasn’t exactly discreet about his opinions on the ‘dirty fags’ that ‘plagued the city’. Steve knew about Billy’s proclivities from when they were teenagers – they’d been each other’s’ firsts, after all – and he also knew how scared Billy had been back then about his father finding out about his preferences. So he could understand the reason why Billy would lie about spending time one on one with another man, so while it left something bitter on his tongue, something – perhaps the memory of the moments they’d once shared – kept him from letting his father know about the lie.

Eddie, though? His lie was easy enough to prove – no one had seen him at the diner he claimed to have visited that night. He also had the misfortune of having his uncle – who had pulled through, after his illness six years ago – work for the district attorney’s office two states over, which might not mean anything, but didn’t exactly work in his favor in this case. And so the suspicions focused on Eddie.

It had been Steve’s idea to have Billy be the one to help in the interrogation that followed. He’d been fueled by anger – and yes, jealousy – and had thought it a fitting punishment for the man’s betrayal. Not for betraying the Family, but for betraying him. He couldn’t really rationalize it – Billy wasn’t his to lose, hadn’t been his for years – but a base instinct in his brain said that Billy had been his once and that he was, still. So the fact that he’d apparently hooked up with Eddie of all people – Eddie, who Steve had been laughing with, shared secrets with and had started opening up to lately – it hurt.

It hurt even more that Eddie might have used his closeness to Steve to betray the Family, but Steve didn’t want to think about that. He used his anger to harden his heart, and harden the look in his eyes, and he stood side by side with his father as Mr. Harrington asked Eddie questions, and nodded for Billy to hurt him every time he failed to give a satisfying answer. And Billy did, mechanically, each time, his back to the Harrington men.

Not once did Steve’s indifferent mask falter, not even when Billy broke Eddie’s nose, or when Eddie howled in pain as his little finger was bent backwards until there was an audible crack. Not even when Eddie turned tearful eyes on Steve and sobbed “I wouldn’t do that, please, I wouldn’t betray you like that,” and then, after a quick and seemingly fearful glance at Billy, “any of you.”

By the time Eddie started crying, Steve was biting the inside of his cheek so hard he tasted blood. He was angry and hurt, but at the same time it was difficult to watch someone he … someone he had cared for … be hurt, right in front of him. He had never shared his father’s penchant for violence, something the older man was well aware of and which was probably the reason why Steve was standing here, now.

Eventually, a knock on the door interrupted them, and Martin, Steve’s father’s right hand, stuck his head in.

“Mr. Harrington, sir. You’re needed upstairs.”

Mr. Harrington gave a sigh as if he was being terribly inconvenienced, but then gave a sharp nod. He brushed invisible dust off his hands – almost as if he had been the one to lay his hands on Eddie, even though he hadn’t touched him once since he’d entered the room – and turned around to leave. Just before he walked out, however, he gave Steve a cold look and indicated the room with a tilt of his head.

“I trust you to take care of this?” he said, and raised a meaningful eyebrow. “And clean up the mess, after.”

Steve knew exactly what that meant, and suddenly had to fight an urge to be sick. “Yes sir,” he ground out instead, between clenched teeth, and dug his nails into the meat of his palms instead of outwardly reacting.

His father nodded again and turned his back on them as he left. The door slammed shut, and left the three of them alone in the room together. Only because he was looking for it, did Steve see the way Billy’s shoulders sagged with momentary relief. He suddenly wished that Billy was turned his way, so he could see his face, but Billy was facing Eddie, like he’d been for most of the session.

Moments passed without anyone moving or speaking, the only sounds heard being Eddie’s labored breathing. “Billy,” Steve eventually said, just to break the silence. He hadn’t meant it as anything but a way to get Billy to turn around, but Billy must have interpreted it as ‘get on with it’, because he flinched at the sound of his own name.

Glancing at Steve – for a fraction of a second only – Billy’s shoulders tensed again, and he drew himself up. Clenched his teeth, swallowed, and drew in a shaky breath. He turned back to Eddie in the chair – whose face fell behind the bruises, but who looked resigned for what was to come – and raised his fist to continue where they’d left off before Steve’s father left.

Steve’s hand moved without him consciously deciding to move it, shooting out and grabbing Billy’s wrist before his fist could make contact with Eddie’s face again.

“Stop,” Steve said. No, ordered.

Billy had never obeyed an order from Steve faster. He was a good henchman, good at obeying orders, but often with Steve, he would deliberately take his time just to prove that he could, a challenging look in his eyes or a little smile on his face as he kept eye contact to see how Steve would react to his barely-there defiance. It was like he pushed just to see what he could get away with – a remnant from the times when they used to be close – but Steve had always seen it almost as a form of flirting rather than actual defiance, which was why he had never openly addressed it. Now, though? Billy let his arms down and stood up straight, backing away from Eddie and Steve both as if he wanted nothing more than to remove himself from the situation entirely. If that wasn’t enough to confirm Steve’s suspicions that the two of them were closer than mere hook-ups, the look in Billy’s eyes as he looked at Eddie was.

The anger that Steve had been filled with – the irrationally hurtful feeling of having been betrayed, somehow – fizzled out and died at the open devastation and regret that was painted onto Billy’s face, and Steve was suddenly so tired. He pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed, before straightening up and addressing the two other men in the room.

“I know,” he said, voice low.

Billy’s face visibly paled and his hand twitched at his side. It wasn’t his reaction that Steve focused on, though; it was Eddie’s. Eddie, who looked between the two of them with one eye rapidly swelling, looking more worried than he’d been when they’d first dragged him in here and tied him to the chair.

“What is it that you know, exactly?” he hedged, voice raw and blood running down his chin from a busted lip.

“I know about the two of you,” Steve clarified, and then froze with his mouth open as his brain whirred. He watched relief flash over both their faces, and two things occurred to him at once: Why would they be relieved to hear that, when they’d looked so stricken just a moment ago? And why did Eddie ask what he knew – did that mean that that wasn’t the only thing they’d kept a secret?

The puzzle pieces snapped into place and Steve almost groaned at the realization. But he collected himself, and added – giving the impression that he’d merely been quiet for dramatic effect, instead of having just made the connection, “And I know that you –“ He nodded to Eddie, “– are not our mole.” He turned to Billy, who was just a little bit too late to hide behind his blank mask. “And I know that you are.”

It was a gamble, but even as he spoke the words he knew them to be true. First, because Billy went very, very still, and second, because Eddie made a move as if to try to yank himself free.

Curious. Steve couldn’t help noticing that Eddie hadn’t tried to get out of his bonds when it was just him in the line of fire.

Billy was staring at him, and Steve met his eyes and didn’t look away, which was why he saw the way Billy’s eyes flicked to the gun at Steve’s side. Steve was the only one in the room with a weapon, and for a second he tensed, expecting Billy to try to grab it. To avoid this, he took it out of the holster himself and held it loosely in one hand, ready for action but without pointing it at anyone. “You won’t make it out of the house,” he advised, just in case Billy was desperate enough to be stupid. “Not alive, and especially not with him.” He nodded to Eddie, still tied to the chair, and raised a challenging eyebrow. Billy’s shoulders sagged, and he wet his lips as he made an aborted movement to Eddie in his chair.

“If you knew …” he said, voice hoarse with anger, or maybe plain misery. “If you knew the whole time, why make me go do all of that to an innocent man?”

Steve looked between the two of them, and considered his answer. In the end, he decided to go for the truth. “I didn’t figure it out until just now.”

Swearing, Billy threw his head back and pulled at his hair. “And now?” he said. “Now that you know, what are you going to do?” He didn’t look to Eddie and – Steve was surprised to realize – he hadn’t looked at Eddie once since Steve had first spoken. Meanwhile, Eddie had barely taken his eyes off of Billy this whole time, apparently trying to will Billy to turn around and make eye-contact.

At that, something else clicked into place. Steve looked at Billy, wide-eyed. “You didn’t tell him.”

Billy’s face scrunched together before he put himself together with visible effort. “No,” he said, voice raw, still refusing to turn around and look at Eddie. “I didn’t tell him. He didn’t know anything, so please, if –“

Billy never said ‘please’. It sounded wrong, coming out of his mouth. Steve held up a hand to quiet him, and turned to Eddie. Because Eddie had been the one to ask what Steve knew, so Eddie had to have known something. “Is that true?”

Eddie sagged in his bonds, but met Steve’s eyes head-on. “He didn’t tell me anything,” he confirmed, and then seemed to steel himself. “But I knew.”

“What?” Billy gasped, whirling around and closing the distance to Eddie’s chair. His hands hovered over the other man, as if afraid to touch. “You don’t know what you’re saying. You didn’t know!” He turned his head and looked at Steve, almost frantic even as he planted himself in front of Eddie, shielding him from Steve’s gaze. “He didn’t know shit! It was all me!”

“I didn’t know before,” Eddie rasped, uncaring of Billy’s protests. “But I figured it out. Started to suspect it at the raid … and I heard you sneak out, a couple of nights ago. When you thought I was asleep.” And oh, Steve’s heart gave a painful tug at the implications of that statement.

Billy fell to his knees, hard, on the cement floor, making Steve wince. But what was more surprising was that Billy had tears trailing down his cheeks now. He was crying, and Steve watched it with fascination. He had only seen Billy cry once – one time when they were teenagers, after his dad had laid into him – but even then, Billy had never sounded so devastated.

“I’m sorry,” he cried, grasping for Eddie with shaking hands. “I never wanted to drag you into this.”

“How long?” Steve asked, voice colder than he’d intended. When Billy didn’t answer, he hardened his voice. “Answer my questions and maybe I’ll consider letting Eddie go.” He didn’t say that he planned on doing that anyway. Right now, he needed answers. “How long?”

“… two years.”

Steve gasped out a breath, as did Eddie. “The whole time …?” Eddie breathed.

“Yeah,” Billy said, sounding miserable. “I couldn’t tell you, Eddie, I’m sorry, it was too dangerous –“

“That’s why you made me chase you in the beginning?”

“Yeah, I didn’t want to drag you into it –“

“A fine job you did with that,” Steve said, cruelly, and watched as Billy ducked his head further. The betrayal made Steve want to lash out, hurt Billy as Steve had been hurt. “Look at him.” It was a demand, rather than a suggestion, and Billy followed the unspoken order. “That is on you.” Billy’s lip wobbled as he took in the damage his hands had caused, and once again he reached for Eddie with his hands, placed them lightly on his thighs, palms up as in offering.

“I’m so sorry Eddie, I’m so sorry …” and then, to Steve’s great surprise, he turned to Steve and said the same, “I’m sorry, Steve. I didn’t … I wanted to but I couldn’t tell you.”

“Why?” Steve said, choking on unnamed emotions. Why did you do it? Why didn’t you tell me? Why didn’t you come to me, I could have helped you, we could have –

“He killed my mom.”

Everything stilled in the room, and Steve frowned in incomprehension. Billy’s mom had left when he was ten, sick of being Neil Hargrove’s punching bag. As far as Steve knew, Billy hadn’t heard from her once since then, as no one knew where she disappeared to.

“What?”

“Neil. He tracked her down, a year or so after she left, and he killed her. And your dad helped cover it up.” As if knowing that there was no turning back now, Billy shrugged. “I was approached … a little over two years ago, by … my contact in the police department.” Even now, he seemed determined not to say too much, too soon. “They’d found her remains, and he provided me with the evidence they had of what had happened. I … He needed my help getting more evidence, enough to get my dad put behind bars.” He looked at Steve imploringly from his place on the floor. “You know how he is. You know why I had to do it.”

Steve knew. Billy’s father was not a nice man – especially to his son. Everyone knew it, but it was just one of those things you didn’t talk about.

“But then,” Billy continued, “I found out that your dad had helped him. Helped him find her, and … helped him get rid of the body, after.” He swallowed. “And my contact … asked me to do … more.” He closed his eyes, which caused fresh tears to roll down his cheeks. When he opened his eyes again, he swallowed determinedly. “Do you remember what we used to talk about? Before?”

Steve nodded, dumbly. When they were young and dumb, and cuddling up to each other in the dark, they used to talk about their hopes for the future. How Billy wished to get out from under his father’s thumb, and Steve admitting to his dislike of the way his father ran things. Billy had been the only one who knew that Steve didn’t particularly want to take over as head of the Family. That he wasn’t cut out for the violence of it.

“I figured … maybe if I did it, it would get you out of it, too. I never … I never gave them anything that would implicate you in any way. I never gave them any intel on things if I knew that you’d be there, never gave them anything that would get you in trouble.” He glanced at Eddie, too. “Either one of you.”

Steve backed up until his back was against the door, and then slid down to the floor. He was still holding the gun in his hand, but his grip was slack and he barely noticed it. Both Billy and Eddie followed his motions without saying anything, but as soon as Steve was sitting down, Billy swallowed again and spoke up.

“I’m sorry, Steve. And I’m sorry, Eddie. I just … I wanted to bring my dad to justice, and it spiraled out of control. I never wanted to hurt either one of you, never wanted to involve you.” He shuffled around so that he was turned to Steve, but still kneeling. Holding his head high, he said, “I’m willing to … take responsibility for my actions.”

Steve huffed out a humorless laugh. He recognized Neil’s teachings in those words, and for some reason a wave of rage washed over him at that.

“You think I’m going to kill you?” he asked, gesticulating vaguely with the gun. “Shoot you, while you’re on your knees?” Billy didn’t speak, just watched him with wide eyes. Eddie opened his mouth to speak though, but Steve spoke over him. “Or do you maybe think I’ll hand you over to my dad, so he can do that to you –“ he said, motioning to the mess that was Eddie’s face, “– or worse?”

Without noticing it, tears had appeared in Steve’s eyes as well, and he had to blink them away. “Fuck, Billy, you should have come to me. Why didn’t you come to me?”

“I couldn’t ask you to act against your father.”

“But you expect me to act against my friends?” He gestured to Billy, and then to Eddie, who watched them both with an open mouth (possibly because he couldn’t breathe through his nose). “You really think I can hurt you? You or Eddie?”

Instead of waiting for an answer – with half of him not wanting to hear what Billy’s reply would be, because he had just stood there, ten minutes earlier, and watched as both of them got hurt in different ways – Steve got to his feet and started walking to and fro in the little room. He was still holding the gun in his hand, but he was well-versed in how to use it and the safety was on. He was quiet while he walked, letting his mind rush through everything he had just learned. As his father would often remind him, he wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed, but while he couldn’t plan a heist to save his life, he was good with handling people, and getting them to do what he wanted.

“How far are you from getting whatever evidence you need?” Steve asked. “To get your dad put away and … and mine, too?”

Billy hesitated before answering. “We have gathered … quite a lot. But we need something that’ll stick. That they won’t be able to bribe their way out of. And we don’t have that … yet.”

“This contact of yours,” Steve said after yet another moment of silence, still walking. “Would he be willing to meet with me, you think?”

“I …” Billy said, surprised. “Yes? Yes, I think so, why?”

“Your father is a bad man,” Steve said, stopping in place and turning to look at Billy. He swallowed, almost afraid to say out loud what he was about to say next. “So is mine. It’s been getting worse, in the last few years. People are getting hurt, killed. I never –“ He took a breath and licked his lips before trying again. “I never wanted that. You know that.”

Billy nodded slowly, something like hope shining from his red-rimmed eyes.

“You,” Steve said and pointed at Eddie, “are a good man. You don’t deserve what has happened to you today.” Not giving any of them a chance to speak, he turned to Billy and pointed a finger in his direction, too. “And you, Billy Hargrove, are a good man too, despite everything. A hundred times better than your dad could ever hope to be.” Taking a deep breath, he exhaled loudly, and straightened up. “I … want to be a good man, too. And I think that this might be my chance to prove that I can be one. At least, a better man than my father.”

“What are you saying, exactly?” Eddie said from his chair, doubt tinged with hope in his voice.

“I’m saying …” Steve started, even as the last pieces of his insane plan fell into place in his mind. “That it’s time I start picking up more slack in the Family, like my father has insisted on for long.” He looked at Billy meaningfully. “And I’m saying that I’m going to need someone I can trust by my side.” Turning to Eddie, he shrugged apologetically. “And unfortunately, I’m saying that you will probably need to die here today, to get rid of the ‘mole’ … How are you at playing dead, Munson? At least while we get you out of here.”

Eddie positively lit up where he was tied to the chair. “If you’re saying what I think you’re saying, then you might as well call me Eddie ‘the Possum’ Munson!”

That drew a huff of laughter from Steve, and even Billy’s lip twitched in the ghost of a smile.

Steve looked over his shoulder to the door, even though he knew it was soundproof and that no one would be able to hear them in here. “I think that we need to talk more about this, somewhere that is not here, but … I’m in, if you guys are.”

“I’m in,” Billy said, his voice thick with emotion as he added, “Thank you.”

“Well, if my two bestest boys are in,” Eddie said with a hint of humor, making Steve flush with warmth at his words, “then I’m in too. With the three of us working together, we can do anything. But …”

“But what?”

“Can someone please get me out of this chair first? And I could really use a Tylenol.”

Words of Wisdom

For @azrielappreciationweek, Day 4: Domestic Life, I wanted to highlight Az spending time with his mother and their bonding over a common interest. 💙

This fic will be posted on AO3 only. Read here.

Azriel’s wings beat against the chilled wind, still bitter cold even in the afternoon. Though nothing could compare to the frozen tundra of the Illyrian Steppes in the middle of winter, of which, he was well accustomed.

But the further south he flew, the warmer it got. Slightly. It was still by definition winter on the island where Rosehall stood, but it didn’t get nearly as cold as Velaris.

It was only a week after Solstice, a week since his brother laid the order down on him and Azriel was struggling with himself. He did not understand the motives, could not control his anger at Rhys for what he did. And for that reason, he needed to leave.

For a little while, that is.

Truthfully, he needed his mother. He needed her wisdom and advice.

Over five centuries old and the feared Shadowsinger of the Night Court still sought his mother when things turned sour. How utterly pathetic.

Podcasts for intermediate/advanced Norwegian listening practice

Finding Norwegian podcasts has always been a bit daunting for me, because I don't listen to a lot of podcasts in general, but over the past weeks I've discovered some that I really enjoy!

1. Lær norsk nå!

This podcast (norsknivå B1 – B2) cover all sorts of interesting social, cultural and political topics - coffee, the Cold War, right-wing populism in Norway, feminism, Sámi history, etc - as well as aspects of the Norwegian language 🔡 You can listen to all the episodes and find transcripts for them (starting with episode 5) here. The host, Marius, is originally from Nærbø (in Rogaland, near Stavanger), and speaks in both his dialect and also standard østnorsk depending on the episode.

2. Relax With Slow Norwegian

I'm a tinglehead (someone who loves listening to ASMR ✨), so I was super excited to find this podcast and Lene's YouTube channel! She speaks bergensk and has lots of great episodes and videos dedicated to learning Norwegian centered around a specific topic.

3. Norskpodden

An awesome podcast (norsknivå B1 – B2) with episodes ranging from grammar to salary negotiation to the the history of queer rights in Norway. Episodes and transcripts can be found here. I find the transcripts helpful, because the host Camila speaks at a quite natural pace (so it gives me a huge confidence boost whenever I can understand most of an episode without the transcripts 😎).

4. Nylig Norsk

This is a fun little podcast created by students at the University of Bergen. They speak a lot slower than the other podcasts here, which sounds a bit unnatural, but that makes it quite easy to understand (norsknivå A2-B1). The topics are engaging and there's transcripts here for each episode. I like the "city-trip"/regional episodes, and it felt really cool having been to some of the places they talked about! ✈️

5. Språktalk

This podcast isn't aimed at people learning Norwegian, which is good practice for listening to natural-sounding dialogue. The episodes are all about languages and linguistic topics, so if that's your cup of tea I highly suggest giving it a listen. They had a German guest for one episode who spoke Norwegian sooooo well, it gave me hope for myself 😂

6. Forklart

Forklart, another podcast that isn't aimed at people learning Norwegian, takes a topic from the news (sometimes domestic news, but more often international news) and breaks it down into a compact 15-minute episode 🗞 There is one episode every day, so if you're interested in keeping up with current political events in Norwegian, this is a great podcast to listen to! Although keep in mind that the podcast is run by Aftenposten (as is Språktalk), which has historically been a centre-right newspaper.

Deltarune Bingo

So, with the release of the new beta test, this seems like a good time to look at my old bingo card I made shortly after chapter two’s release.

B1: Not entirely sure what I meant by this. I currently believe the Weird Route will get to the end. I currently subscribe to the idea that the roaring and the angel’s heaven are two separate apocalypses that will lead to the same ending but with very different paths.

B2: Seam is so hard to get a read on. He’s so sus, but also dispassionate enough that I’m not sure what could motivate him to go against us.

B3: Really, who else would it be? But this prediction notably specifies final secret boss, not a main story boss.

B4: Onionsan is either complete nonsense, or the keystone that will reveal everything. No in between.

B5: Lol, typo. This would be cute, but is dependent on a lot of variables we don’t know yet.

I1: Assuming he isn’t the knight (he totally isn’t), I just think it would be funny and very in character for Sans to just keep stringing us along.

I2: I just think he’s neat.

I3: Almost certain. Poor guy. Hopefully he can get with Rudy.

I4: Considering my current stance on Ralsei’s role (He was made by Kris to act as a minder for the soul), I’m no longer sure how likely this is. Susie is probably more likely to turn.

I5: Lmao, I have since become a Kris knight supporter.

N1: ACAB aside, Undyne is very much the sort of person I think Susie would really admire.

N2: Currently leaning more towards them being Frisk, but I’m not sure if this will even be revealed or relevant.

N3: I listened to Power of Spamton on loop for a whole weekend. Suffice to say, Toby is good.

N4: Obviously it won’t actually be him, but between the trash flowers and the seven flowers in Asgore’s shop, I’m sure a Flowey-like darkner will show up at some point.

N5: This is probably wishful thinking on my part. I just want to know more about humans in this verse. Seriously, what’s their deal?

G1: …nah. Maybe we’ll echo the mad dummy fight, and Toby will bail us out against Wing Gaster.

G2: Timeloop? Maybe not. I still think Gerson went on dark world adventures back in his day.

G3: If the dark world can bring life to inanimate objects, could it allow a soulless body and a bodyless soul to function as independent beings?

G4: I like how in both chapters so far, you can defeat the super difficult secret bosses before you even meet Rouxls Kaard.

G5: I am very curious how the How to Draw Dragons darkner will play out. I’m imagining the deconstructed damsel, but as a slutty dragon.

O1: Napstablook will either be the most majestic thing ever, or exactly the same.

O2: Seems to have been confirmed, since Spamton blames Tenna.

O3: Just. The Spamton sweepstakes. Just all of it.

O4: There’s no way Sans can live up to fan expectations, so why even bother?

O5: Frighteningly, there is a decent chance he becomes a major character. That damn gumball machine suggests Ice-e’s will be big.

Overall, my predictions are reasonable, even if my theories have shifted over time.
