#bad buddy is now my nemesis

[khaotunq]

Happy New Year!

[in1-nutshell]

Hey, could I request smokescreen's brainwashed twin with them interacting with fellow cons and their relationships with the cons and possibly running into their twin?

I did Buddy interacting with some of their fellow Cons.

Hope you enjoy!

Smokescreen's brainwashed Twin with Megatron, Starscream and the Vechicons

SFW, Platonic, Slight Angst, Cybertronian reader

TFP

Not many of the remaining cons knew where Buddy came from.

If anything, most remember Budy just being there around the time Cybertron fell.

They were the youngest member of the force, naturally they had some… advantages.

One being the most obvious, they had it easier when Megatron delivered punishments or criticism.

Yes, Buddy received punishments before, but Megatron quickly found out that they could make even digging with the Vechicons in mines the highlight of their week.

After a while he managed to finally give up on the idea of punishing Buddy.

A simple ‘I’m not mad but disappointed’ face was all they needed to see to make a critical blow.

Buddy standing in the corner sadly. Knockout looking at Breakdown. Knockout: “What happened to them?” Breakdown: “Megatron did the face.” Buddy sighs sadly. Knockout: “But why are they in the corner?” Breakdown: “Soundwave found that human family units put their sparkling in a thing called ‘time out’, as a disciplinary way.” Buddy: “When can I leave?” Megatron from across the room: “Until I say so!”

After Buddy was rediscovered in the pod, they had been glued to his side since.

When Buddy starts having terrible migraines upon seeing Smokescreen, Megatron considers keeping them on the Nemesis for a while.

But instead, tells them that the reason why they have those migraines is because HE was the one who put them in the pod and was the reason they had little to no relics.

Buddy promises to bring down this Autobot in his name.

As long as Buddy doesn’t ask too many questions, his plan is full proof.

Starscream wants nothing to do with Buddy.

Mainly because when they were first introduced, he tried every manipulation tactic in his book to get them to become loyal to him.

Only to get slammed on the ground with them stating their loyalty to ��lOrD mEgAtRoN’.

Has considered multiple times to tell them of their actual past, or at least hint to it.

But is then reminded what could possibly happen if this sniper bot snapped.

Starscream looking at some footage of Buddy taking out Autobots left and right from their perch. Starscream clears his intake. Starscream: “Thank you Soundwave for reminding me of our youngest member’s… abilities in weapons.” Soundwave nods but secretly sends several more videos of Buddy in action to his data pad.

For now, Starscream stays at arm’s length.

Many of the Vechicons had mixed feelings about Buddy being here.

Many were happy that the younger con was around and helped motivate the troops.

But at the same time, they felt bad that one of the youngest Cybertronians they know taking on riskier jobs around.

They try and make sure Buddy doesn’t take too many of these roles.

And help derail any of Starscream’s little schemes.

Starscream: “Buddy. You are to go to the mine and extract the remaining energon.” Buddy: “I thought we had—” Starscream: “Are you questioning my authority?” Buddy: “No sir.” Starscream: "Good. Now go—” Steve: “Commander Starscream, we have a troop heading to the mines to extract remaining energon on the ground.” Starscream: “I did not authorize that!” Steve: “You didn’t?” Starscream: “Bah! Just get the job done.” Starscream walks away grumbling and lamenting his failed plan to get rid of Buddy. Buddy: “Thanks for the save Steve. I need to get Lord Megatron’s mission done that would have derailed the whole plan.” Steve pats her helm: “Anytime Buddy, anytime.”

❛ enemies make the best lovers, you know. ❜ //SHOT

Friday evening was telenovela evening.

"Rodrigo, that wasn't me at the ball! That was my twin sister Camilla!" The actress was beautiful. Her hair and chest bounced dramatically as she spoke. It was almost distracting enough to make you ignore her horrendous acting. Almost.

"No!" Rodrigo gasped dramatically on the TV screen. "She tricked me! Clara, I promise my heart only belongs to you!" The actor who played Rodrigo was barely wearing his shirt. Just two buttons held it ""closed"" and his shimmering pecks sparkled in the studio lights.

This was the worst TV show Perry had ever seen. He has to know what happens next.

Without looking, Perry reached to the left and grasped a handful of popcorn. He didn't even check his hand before he stuffed all of it into his mouth, his eyes were glued to the TV.

"He's going to end up with the evil twin sister, I'm sure of it," Heinz informed his soap opera buddy with full confidence. "They'll get married and everything."

Perry arched one sceptical eyebrow at his nemesis. His legs were draped over Heinz's lap, a comforting position to lean back in. But it made reaching for popcorn a little impractical. Obviously, Heinz wasn't aware enough to offer him any assistance. So, Perry had to fold himself in half every time he reached for more.

He had paused, mid lean, fist full of popcorn, to doubt Heinz's expertise.

"She's probably pregnant with his baby right now. You know they didn't just kiss in that broom closet during the gala."

Perry dumped his popcorn into his mouth so he could sign. 「But he's been faithful to Clara for three seasons.」

"Which is way too long in tv-land! They need to shake things up and the evil sister is perfect! She has all the same features as Clara, but evil! And we all know evil is sexy!"

Perry shook his head lightly.「They can't stand each other, she's going to try to kill him during the rehearsal dinner.」 He wasn't going to touch that evil is sexy remark.

"And Rodrigo is going to think it's so hot!" Heinz yes-and'd

Perry shot him a look that attempted- and succeeded in conveying: you're insane.

"No, I'm right! I'll bet you anything they're going to hate each other so much that Rodrigo forgets all about Clara. He only focuses on Camilla and they have a love-hate relationship.

「That would never work.」 Perry's hands moved with confidence, but Doof only scoffed.

"As if you don't know that enemies make the best lovers! It's true!"

Perry removed his legs from Heinz's lap to get up. Arguing with him was no use, so he was going to go to the balcony and lament the fact that Disney doesn't let him smoke.

Heinz scrambled to pause the episode and got up to follow him. He almost knocked the bowl of popcorn over, but there wasn't much left inside to spill anyway.

"You're only avoiding me because you can't handle the truth!" Heinz said and he followed his nemesis outside.

"You get back here!"

Perry had a feeling Doofenshmirtz thought he was soooo funny.

"Just accept that they're super us-coded and watch the next episode with me! Come on Perry! Cliffhangers are bad enough, but being left hanging because you need to throw a hissy fit is way worse."

Now on the balcony, Perry sighed tiredly. Up here, the air was cold enough that it escaped his mouth like a cloud of vapour. Close enough.

"I'm going to continue watching without you!" Heinz threatened, but he caught the glowering look Perry cast over his shoulder and suddenly fell silent.

When pretending to be dramatic was no longer funny, Perry returned to the couch to watch the rest of the season. Heinz wasn't entirely correct, but Rodrigo did end up kissing Camilla at the wedding, not realizing that his actual bride was tied up in the broom closet with a bomb strapped to her chest. The finale cliffhanger ended when Rodrigo learned who he had married and where his bride was.

Heinz groaned as the credits rolled. "Now I'm going to have to wait for months! Do you think she'll live, Perry?"

Perry frowned as he tried to get into the writers' heads. 「It would be so dramatic if she died.」

Doofenshmirtz flopped over and threw the last few kernels from the popcorn bowl at the screen. "This show sucks."

Perry agreed as he googled the release date for the next season.

So I’m living for Nimona. Living, loving it and especially live Nimona and Bal and Ambrosius

And then I thought of this AU/What If Scenrio:

Ballister and Nimona kidnapping Ambrosius

• So basically Ambrosius manages to sneak his way down to the dungeon without anyone catching him. This is when Ballister got arrested

• He finds his cell and talks to him, still weary on believing his best friend and love would actually kill the queen. He also feel extreeeeemely guilty upon seeing Ballister’s robotic arm and Ballister himself without it

• Ballister does his best to prove his innocence to Ambrosius and is begging him to believe he didn’t do it and was set up

• It’s a sad affair…until Nimona pops in inside the cell, spooking the both of them. She came to rescue Ballister

• Nimona: Hey Boss, sorry to intrude. Came to bust you out!

Ballister:!! H-How did you-?!

Ambrosius:!! Wha-? Bal, who’s this kid?

Nimona: Name’s Nimona. Oh! This is your nemesis, right? You want me to knock this guy out, Boss?

Ambrosius:!! What? Nemesis? Boss?

Ballister:!! No! No, I’m not her…I just met her. And no, no knocking him out. He’s not even my nemesis

Nimona:….So stabbing?

Ballister:!! NO! THAT’S EVEN WORSE!

• So then Bal is blubbering and Ambrosius is startled by this weird kid that wants to stab him

• Nimona breaks the keypad and lets Ballister out before Ambrosius could stop her and she’s just bantering him, which is annoying him and tiring Ballister as this isn’t how he wanted seeing Ambrosius again to go

• While they were squabbling, the sirens go off and guards come in to get Ballister and Nimona and Ambrosius is trying to make them stop to no avail

• Ballister and Nimona run, but then Nimona grabs Ambrosius and drags him with, making the guards believe they just took him hostage

• Ballister: Gah-! Let him go!

Nimona: C’mon, we’re villians! Taking hostages is a huge villain move!

Ballister: No, we’re not!

Ambrosius: Gah-! How strong is this kid, Bal?!

• So then Nimona shapeshifts and they escape, again taking Ambrosius with them. Ambrosius also ends up the one who gets knocked out by the debris

• Of course, Ballister now panics since, ya know, they kinda kidnapped his boyfriend who now probably has a concussion. Nimona just doesn’t get it and she’s like,”Boss, this is the guy who cut off your arm. Why do you care?” So, yeah, they kinda have to bring him with now

• Ballister, carrying the unconscious Ambrosius in his arms: This is bad, this is really bad

Nimona: Yeah…cuz you’re being a killjoy about it

Ballister:!! Wha-? Wha-? No! No! We literally kidnapped him! Now people will think I’m a murderer AND a kidnapper!

Nimona:…At least one thing true goin’ for ya!*smiles*

Ballister:*Sighs* I should’ve just stayed in jail

• So the Director, of course, uses this to malign Ballister and make him look bad as he just killed the queen, works with a monster, and now has taken the descendant of Gloreth captive

• After awhile, Ambrosius comes to in the tower with a bandaged head and Ballister sitting by him with the tacos Nimona made

• He jumps upon remembering that Nimona was all shapeshifting in front of him and was about to grab his sword…oooooonly Ballister took it and places it on the side while caring for him

• Nimona: Yeah, your sword’s over there, buddy

Ballister:…I took it off while you were out. Sorry

• Ambrosius is just trying to understand everything that happened since he went into the dungeon, but after a couple minutes and thst after there’s this shapeshifting kid right in front of him

• Ambrosius: So….Who are you?

Nimona: I’m Nimona and YOU are lucky the boss didn’t let me bite your leg while you slept

Ballister: I wouldn’t have let her. I promise

• After some time, Ambrosius collects himself and relaxes. He tells Ballister he really believes him and is all more than willing to clear his name. Though, he reluctantly agrees to work with Nimona

• So now he’s just with them and helping clear Ballister and trying his best to convince people that his bf and his shapeshifting sidekick didn’t kidnap him

There’s so much more than can be added and made just one this and I’m living for it!!

Okay had some time and shitposts to really think about the finale of FHJY

I literally have rewritten this post several times thats how complex it feels.

Spoilers under the cut

First off I love that potential threads are hanging in the air particularly for adaine and kristen.

Character wise kristen ironically could have been the most complete storyline after FHSophY however with how Ally played her this season i think narratively she is the bad kid who absolutely needs a continuation for her story - tracker, bucky, her messy enemiess beebees ship, her parents, the whole buddy/bobby dawn thing, FUCKING KALINA, like the way brennan ended the season its like he's T-ing up another narratively perfect season for kristen.

Fabian, our darling boy makes several strides in improving himself and several steps back in other ways. I for one would die from laughter while he deals with having a GF, his mom, step father and grandpapa all living in the same house with a new elf baby (and also potentially stepsibling Fig).

Adaine - godamn what a fantastic narrative season as well, her confidence this season was so hot and siobhan continues to just be a dream TTRPG player. Like she's been killing it with her character decisions, impeccable comedic timing, and knowledge of the game out of the park for literally the past year and half.

Riz, like my god, such a perfect season for him and getting to see his character growth as well. He's also literally the hottest he's ever been and while I am sad he is aroace so i cannot make an OC to smooch him, he's just so fucking ool it doesn't even matter. ALSO RIZ YOU HAVE MULTIPLE QUEER PEOPLE ON YOUR TEAM YOU CAN DEFINITELY TELL THEM YOU ARE AROACE KING.

Gorgug, wow what a fucking season. Zac always kills it with his characters but besides the bit in freshman year I don't know that I ever clicked with gorgug as much as I did this season. He also had an amazing arc all those nat 20s in the last stand, the nat 20s to get them the academic help while he took on four years of school in one year, using his aertificer stuff to help take down his literal nemesis and the person whose put him down for years.

And now we come to fig and my controversial opinion. I still feel like despite them trying to T-up this possibly being emily's fairwell from playing fig I don't feel like narratively it makes sense. theres just still so much in the air and I would love to see her relationship with ankarna grow and blossom. Also despite the talk theres just so much left unresolved between her and sandra lynn. That said I'll be sad but understand if emily plays another character if they do ever make FHseniorY. THAT SAID, BRENNAN YOU OWE ME A SEASON OF GILEAR SHENNANIGANS. FIG DID SAY SHE MIGHT MOVE INTO SEACASTER MANOR, LET HER PULL LOONEY TOONS SHENNAIGANS TO PREVENT FABIAN FROM MURDER THEIR NEW SIBLING.

[shapeshiftingcloud]

Did you ever get more ideas for that Soundwave Dad AU you thought of? (I may or may not have basically scrolled through many many posts of ur blog)

I personally love the ideas you had for it and wondered if you ever gave it more thought.

{Sorry for not responding earlier my dude!}

{edit for grammar and spelling}

Fjdjrhfks thank you for the kind words! I love this au so much

As for new thoughts

Soundwave and Laserbeak hate the fact that Jack and June have joined up with the Autobots.

Laserbeak has missed his mom and baby brother greatly in the years since he’s last seen them.

Silas is Jack’s bio dad.

When Sounders and LB found out that he kidnapped June it practically took the whole crew of the Nemesis to stop them from going down there and wiping not just Silas but Arachnid from the planet.

However I’m thinking that he kidnapped them after for their “protection”.

Uncle Knockout and Breakdown, no I will not be further elaborating.

Possible Junecee in this, but there could also be Junesound (idk if they even have a ship name)

Jack has these subconscious things that both he and Soundwave share such as pacing, liking dark/low lighting, not really talking much ect(feel free to add on to this list! :p)

When the bots find out I’m thinking that either they will treat Jack differently seeing him as Soundwave’s son and or they get angry at June (namely Arcee and Fowler) for not telling them.

Jack does remember SW and LB and now doesn’t know how to feel about them

Soundwave used to go by the name of Sebastian Williams and Laserbeak was Luis (if you have better names let me know)

Jack is having an identity crisis

Soundwave and Laserbeak might become neutrals

[Tw for abuse and neglect]

Soundwave and Laserbeak have always despise Silas even before MECH

Silas would go out drinking with his army buddies even when June had work and just left Jack alone even when he was a baby

Silas would never hurt June and Jack physically (except for once but I’ll get into it later) but mess with June emotionally; think classic ‘you would be nothing without me’ nonsense

He met June when Laserbeak at a scouting mission heard Jack crying all alone in unlocked house, Soundwave made his way down to earth and was like ‘wtf are humans that bad at taking care of their young one, that they leave them all alone’. He found June’s phone number and texted her, she sped home and thanked them for telling her about Jack after everything was explained (with a cover story)

The one time he [tried] to attack June and Jack Soundwave kicked his ass and got him dishonorably discharged from the military

Annndddd yeah that all I have for now feel free to add your own head canons though and sorry again for how late this is!

[starbornsoulrider]

once again thinking about the Halo Fucking Dies scene that I made up in my brain where Halo follows in Aideen's footsteps and sacrifices themself to restore life to Jorvik and THIS TIME!! i'm thinking about the dark riders' reaction

in the Halo Canon (TM) the dark riders do get redeemed im not sure how yet. but somehow, Halo managed to make them think that maybe earth wasn't so bad, maybe they could have a life here after all, and maybe they were fucking Tired from fighting for so. so long for a being that doesn't even give a shit about them. either they help in the fight against garnok, or they finally realize they don't want this halfway through and turn sides in the middle of the battle. like i said still not. exactly sure how it plays out and it'll probably be better than how i'm describing it rn but THAT'S NOT THE POINT!!

once the battle concludes, there was just too much damage done to the fragile barrier between Jorvik and Pandoria, and at this rate even with Garnok gone they're both bound to just swallow and destroy each other. everyone thinks they've failed, until- Halo slowly begins to disappear, slowly dissipating into tiny bits of light. Fripp sadly realizes what is happening, and tells everyone that in order to mend the tears and restore both worlds Halo must sacrifice their life-giving light the way Aideen did.

the soul riders, of course, are devastated. they crowd around Halo as they start to fade away, holding their hands and beg them not to go. Halo's accepted it, so they're thanking everyone for everything.

in the background, the dark riders stand, just. watching. not sure of what to do.

Katja feels empty. nothing unusual for her, but somehow this time the emptiness is different. heavier. this feeling she doesn't like settles in her as she watches Halo disappear. she can't put words to it, but she can't make it go away. so she just continues watching.

Jay looks confused, frustrated. this can't be fair. her composure falters. this can't be right, can it? the brat fought so hard for this stupid island, for their annoying little friends, only to die for it? it sparks this anger in here, but she knows she can't do anything about it- so she, too, just watches.

Sabine’s hit the hardest. she doesn’t look like it, but she is. out of all the dark riders Halo’s relationship with Sabine was the most complicated one but also the deepest running one. they went from bitter rivals, to full blown nemesis’s after Sabine tried and almost succeeded in killing Buddy, to mutual respect, to having a sort of “maybe we could’ve been friends in a different life” thing. and then, before all this, it seemed like maybe it wouldn’t have to be a in a different life after all. but that chance has been ripped away, and she’s still processing it. for the first time the full brunt of realizing Halo matters to her is hitting and she doesn’t know what to do about it because it’s too late.

and idk about Elise/whatever the fourth one’s name is now I’m not. super attached to her. I’ll think of smth when we actually get to know her in game ig

anyways I’M INSANE!!! and for the record I’m not allowed to clarify whether this scene is canon or just an idea :)

[winterwolf0120]

does n and uzi live together or does the whole resistance live together?

are n and uzi dating?

does n ever get worried about cyn? what helps him calm down if he does?

:-) have a good day/night

Leon: That's a good question buddy. I mean N is me and Jada's little brother now because he's adopted and Uzi is me and Jada's sister-in-law now. So me, Jada, and N have double dates with my husband Tommy, my brother-in-law Bendy, and Uzi my sister-in-law.

N: Yeah. Leon has a point. I had a happy family with Leon and Jada right now. <3 Besides ekurie987 me and Uzi got married already and it was beautiful. 🥰

Leon: *chuckles* I'm happy for you, N. <3

N: 😁

Jada: <3

Jada: And about, Cyn. She's a creepy bitch because she's trying to get, N killed and so as Uzi.

Leon: Yeah. N, keeps having some bad nightmares about, Cyn. Every time he gets nightmares and get scared of Cyn he comes into me and Jada's room and he wanted to sleep with us. Because, that's what brothers and sisters do. So, he started sleeping with us, we gave him huggies, and he started to calm down for a sec.

Leon: I've been through a lot the same way as Jada and N. You know that I escaped Raccoon City and I've been sexually assaulted by my nemesis, Arias. It was really scary for me that's why I'm shy to talk to people and my anxieties gets really worse.

Jada: 😞

N: Oh no. I'm so sorry, Leon. I have no idea went through all that.

Leon: It's okay. But at least he's gone now.

Jada: Yep.

Leon: But yeah that's what we always do we always live together. <3

N and Jada: ^w^ ^w^

Leon: Anyways we gotta get going, have a good day, pal. 😉💙

N: See ya. ^w^

Jada: We'll see you around. Ask us any question any time you want in the Inbox and we'll answer back to you and tell you and everyone about ourselves and our roller coasters of Kings Island. So have a good day. ^w^

@brutal-nemesis tagged me to share 7 snippets of my writing, either already posted or in progress!

1. Next chapter of SV-240 whaaaat

"People know that you're alive."

The car is getting closer and closer to the hospital, and Wren digs his fingers into his thighs, not too hard so Nathaniel won't notice. At the dock it was just the two of them, on the ship it was him and the crew, but now there will be so many people everywhere, and he tries to keep his breathing steady.

"Do the hospital staff know I'm going to be there?" he asks, his throat squeezed tight.

"Yes." Nathaniel nods. "I was told they would do their best to keep your arrival secret for now. We won't walk in through the main entrance."

"Okay. That's good." Wren bounces his leg, but stops himself, not wanting his anxiety to show too much. "But it's not gonna stay a secret forever."

2. Daniel has a bad night

For once, it’s Daniel who’s plagued by nightmares. Wren wakes up to a low whine and the arms around him shifting, and it takes him a moment to realize what’s going on, why Daniel’s breathing is shaky, why his hold on Wren borders on desperate.

“Daniel,” Wren mutters, squirming in his embrace, reaching up to squeeze his arm; he’s only answered with another strange whine. “Daniel.”

That works. Daniel’s breath hitches, his movements no longer feel like they’re outside of his control. Wren sighs, not wanting to deal with this in the slightest, but he pushes against Daniel’s arm until he can move more, and rolls over to his other side, to face Daniel, whose eyes are half-closed, gaze still absent.

“What…?” he asks, and Wren barely stops himself from rolling his eyes.

“You had a nightmare. Woke me up.”

3. Everything's fine

Wren leaves the house without Daniel’s knowledge.

He still has the tracker, of course, but when he left, Daniel was napping, so he hopes that he won’t wake up for a few more hours. He just wants to go for a swim in the picturesque pond that he remembers the path to. He’s unarmed, without so much as a kitchen knife, but he’s not scared. He’s not anything.

There is an emptiness inside of him that has had a grip on him for several weeks now. The sort of hopelessness he was trying to avoid, but instead of making him Daniel’s loving partner, it’s only making him… do this. Go for a walk in the jungle, looking straight ahead, not scanning his surroundings, barely flinching when he hears rustling and other sounds of the dense forest.

4. Continuation of Berkeley's Revenge

“I guess when I feel like hearing you scream again, I can just take my pick.” He lets go, circles the table, and gets to cleaning and dressing the wound on Wren’s right hand, laughing a bit at his instinctual attempt to wrench his hand free. “Try not to get an infection and die, but it should be fine. You'll live. You’re so tough, after all.” He glances at Wren’s face, listening to his frantic breathing. “Why so quiet, Rackham? No more jokes? Figures,” he scoffs, shaking his head. “We both know how pathetic you really are.”

“You cut off my fucking finger,” Wren rasps.

“And I can do it again if you don’t stop swearing.” The terror in Wren’s eyes when his head jerks towards Berkeley makes him smile. “Yep, I think that’s a good idea. Cutting off a finger every time you swear.”

5. Speech is silver

“See? Just like that. I know what I’m doing, don’t worry.”

The feeling of the thread slipping through his skin makes him sick to his stomach, and there’s more sharp pain which turns to burning with another stitch. Daniel strokes his chin with his thumb in a soothing motion, and doesn’t stop his work for a second - a small mercy in his eyes, getting over with the sewing as fast as possible while remaining cautious not to mess it up.

To him, it’s love.

6. #scrabble whump

“Buying you was the best decision in my life.”

“The most expensive Scrabble buddy in history,” Wren scoffs and lets his head drop again, his shoulders trembling with muffled laughter, because this whole situation is hilarious, honestly.

All this effort to kidnap the head of the League’s kid just to play fucking Scrabble with him.

Well, and torture him. And humiliate him.

But right now they’re playing Scrabble, and it’s the funniest thing Wren can imagine in his almost delirious state.

7. Oscar's debut

“Who the hell are you?” Oscar snapped. The person didn’t answer - instead the pressure on his neck disappeared, and the object was sent flying to the side. It hit the ground with a horrible clangor, and Oscar finally saw what it was - a piece of metal shaped like a capital H, probably a piece of scaffolding, no doubt identical with the one pinning his legs down. He could finally prop himself up on his elbows and look up at the face of the person who defeated him - the face he’d seen on billboards and the news, the face of Bradley McKenna.

“You know me, don’t you?” Bradley flashed his teeth in a brilliant smile seeing the hint of recognition in Oscar’s eyes. “Would be weird if you didn’t.”

I am a woman of my word. Have Steve the Vehicon and Stephanie Brown shenanigans. Remember to vote for Brown!

---------------------------------------

Okay, this was the seventh time the black muscle car had driven around the block. Stephanie had been watching the car for over an hour. She hadn’t gotten a look at the driver through the tinted windshield (how did you even do that?), but he’d (yeah, she figured it was a guy behind the wheel, sue her) been all over Gotham. He’d driven around the park twice, visited the docks five times, and now he’d been in Crime Alley for fifteen minutes.

He’d never parked once.

He could be a bad guy. He was probably a bad guy. But somehow, this car gave off the least menacing vibes in the city. So maybe not a bad guy? One way to find out.

Stephanie dropped down onto the roof of the car. The car came to a screeching halt, and Stephanie dropped down next to the driver’s side window. The car didn’t try to run her over, and the window didn’t roll down to reveal a gun pointed at her, so probably not a bad guy.

She rapped on the window.

“Yes?” a voice said.

That was weird, Stephanie thought. The voice came from the car and was crystal clear, but the window remained up.

“Are you lost?” Stephanie asked.

“Maybe?” the voice said.

“Where you trying to go?” Stephanie asked.

“The New York Subway.”

“Oh, buddy, this is Gotham.” Who the hell got that wrong? Still, didn’t hurt to be polite. “That’s like three hours from here.”

“Oh no,” the driver groaned. “My boss is going to kill me.”

Stephanie had to hold in a chuckle. “Hey, now, I’m sure it’s not that bad.”

“No, he’s really going to kill me.” The guy sounded really distressed and the car engine started to make weird noises while revving. “He’s going to throw me off the Nemesis where I’ll fall thousands of feet and be dashed into a million little pieces on the desert below.”

“Really?”

“Really.”

Oh. This guy was serious. And he was a goon. But a goon in danger.

“Well, we can’t let that happen,” Stephanie said. “Your under Batgirl’s protection.”

“Um, who?”

Ouch. “Me,” Stephanie said. “I’m going to protect you. Now get out of the car so I can get you some help.”

“Get out the car?” the driver said.

“Yep.” Stephanie waited in silence for a minute. “Come on, hurry up.”

“You see,” the driver said. “I am the car?”

“Very funny,” Stephanie said. “Look, if you don’t want my help-”

“I’m not-! Ugh,” the driver said. “Here, I’ll just show you.”

There was a loud sound as the car in front of her shifted into a giant purple and gray robot with a red visor. It peered down at her and wrung its hands.

Okay. That was a first. Also ruled out the classic “Drug and Drag” protocol of taking civilians to the Batcave. What was the protocol for protecting giant transforming robots anyway?

“Dope,” Stephanie said. “You got a name?”

“Steve,” the robot said.

Stephanie nodded, stroking her chin. “Good name, Steve.”

Stephanie got the impression Steve was smiling. “Thanks!”

They stood there awkwardly in silence.

“I figured you were going to run,” Steve admitted.

Stephanie scoffed. “Dude, no offense, but you’re less scary than my boss.”

“I’m not getting you in trouble, am I?” Steve asked.

“Nah,” Stephanie said. “Well, maybe. But Batman has a strict no-killing rule, and it’s our job to protect the innocent and stuff. You know what? I’m just going to call him.”

Actually, she was going to call Tim. Let him figure this out.

“Thank you,” Steve blurted out. "I really appreciate it."

Aw, this robot was a sweetheart. Stephanie paused. “You are very welcome.”

Hey, maybe she was about to get her very own Batmobile.

Steve Smackdown FINALE!

John: Go downstairs.

[TT's pesterlog is in 15 pages, so the wait won't be long]

The accursed odor of fresh baking wafts into your newfound nostrils.

Too bad John doesn't like pastries. I had a chocolate éclair yesterday and cream puff, delicious~

Something is brewing in the KITCHEN. It must be the connivings of your arch nemesis, BETTY CROCKER, and the rich, buttery aroma of her plot stinks to high heaven.

Name drop. Also 'connivings', my vocabulary is getting richer and richer! Last time was 'girth'. Ah ha! You thought I forgot? Well, you thought wrong. To be honest it wasn't that long ago haha. Gonna make a list of all those words. What about it, I make a list and at the end of either x pages or act, I quiz everyone, including myself! Some interaction in this reread, nice. 'plot stinks to high heaven' considering that angels and demons are the same thing in this universe, and that the cherubs winged demons, does the smell reach LE as well? x)

This mission is going to be more difficult than you imagined.

Oooh to be a 13 years old kid on an dangerous adventure, trying to avoid their parent at the same time.

John: Admire harlequins.

You check out the shelves of FANCIFUL HARLEQUINS.

:D

Look at this fucking garbage. You hate this stuff. Funny is funny, but your DAD sure can be a real cornball.

I mean, I can't relate. The only thing my dad have in great amount are novels and GEO magazines. Some many GEO magazines.. Not gonna lie guys, but GEO.. they got some really good landscapes, the photos in it are breathtaking~

Sometimes at night you pray for burglars.

You are an awful scallywag but I can't help chuckling every time this sentence comes up.

John: Examine fireplace.

A bright orange flame flickers in the FIREPLACE. It doesn't matter that it's April and not terribly chilly outside. In a home, a FIREPLACE needs a fire, because that's what FIREPLACE is for. […]

UMMM buddy, no. It was 32°C (89,6°F) outside out house yesterday and you wouldn't see us starting a fire in the chimney, so yes it does matter. For future readers, this post is written in June 2023. I fucking hate global warming and stupid politicians.

A fire BELONGS in a FIREPLACE, dammit, cata(ptcha)gorically, at all times, without exception.

I wonder if the pun is here just to be funny, or if there's a deeper significance. Oh can you catchalogue fire?? Can you directly catchalogue a gas? Throughout the whole webcomic only inanimate or solid living beings, OH OH and ectoplasma! So we can kinda conclude that the matter has to be a minimum solid to being catchaloguable. Of course, if you put a liquid/gas in a container I'm pretty it would work. 'A fire belongs in a fireplace' that would make sense if not for john insistance of it being ALWAYS there. Another example of John's obsession with normalcy.

As domestic myth of unaccountable origin holds, a home borrows the spirit of the flame for as long as it makes a guest of it, much as the moon takes liberty with the sun's rays.

That's, pretty actually. A rare poetic moment from Hussie. So if the analogy is to be trusted, the house borrow the warmth of the fire and its soul in exchange of a place for the fire to stay. A fair agreement I'd say. We were so grounded with normality and technology so far, now we're introducing mythical/mystical elements to the story.

"The moon's an arrant thief, and her pale fire she snatches from the sun." -Mark Twain You are almost certain Mark Twain said that.

Alright readers, let's play "who actually said that".

It'sssssssssss William Shakespeare! From Timon of Athens. —>

Ash Liveblogs LL 2-3

Every time I think I understand I get in deeper and I realize I do Not. Oh yes Anna, oh yes Nate, I see why people like these Robits. I get it now.

ITS SO INTENSE. MY BRAIN. I HAVE FIRE ANTS OF CREATIVITY AND QUESTIONS. IVE WRITTEN AND RECORDED TWO--TWO SONGS!!!!!???--IN THE LAST 48 HOURS THAT STARTED WITH TRANSFORMERS STUFF AND TRANFORMERS OC. HELP?

I stayed up till 4 am the other day finishing MTME thinking I'd have a moment of breath, of peace, before moving on. NO! I got the ontological equivalent of the dickbutt. Go read the next collection, you idiot.

Anyway here's the liveblog of LL 2-3

AHHHH my boys <3 also hi swerve.

Dear GOD i've said it before and I'll say it again, I would NEVER EVER want to end up on the minibot's bad side. Theyre both fucking feral but REWIND

HE's SO bold and impulsive and intense. I would so much sooner find myself Cyclonus or even Whirl's enemy

Also, 12 of 12.

This is what would happen if Facebok gained self awareness and a body. This is the pope if he ate -insert billionare techbro of your choice-

I am obsessed with the coloring in this fucking series, and also I am a Fan of Anode. Her design is so appealing. Very nice colors.

I really like her ; o ;

SKEIFJLKDAGKJ Rod's new blue look is throwing me off so bad but dear GOD this is so fucking funny. Roddles just got BURNED

Oh Christ on a pogo stick. In a comic chock full of some of the most grotesque images I've ever seen it says something that these words and the picture they paint is so far proving to be amongst the most OMINOUS

TRAPPED LIGHT? Lost light? Threadbare space? Like? About to tear??? AAAAAAAAA

OH DEAR GOD SEE THIS IS WHAT I MEAN DO NOT FUCK WITH THE MINIBOTS ASJFDASLGDG

That's RIGHT Cyclonus you--OH NOOOOOOOOO ANODE LASKLFDSFAJDSKJGD

Aghhhh. All silliness aside. This is heartbreaking. Tailgate despite being Cyclonus' contemporary is a little naive and lacks a certain physical experience of war and destruction and Cyclonus quietly and calmly walking him over the threshold of the aftermath is breaking my little bat heart T m T

He looks so sad :<

SNERK yes cry for help you annoying green bitchbaby--DAMMIT

All hail the useless one! Where did you find my negative self talk bubble six of twelve--OH DEAR GOd FOR REAL?

I mean yes Rung is a Useless Therapist but oh my GODDDD WHAT IS THIS

LL 3

Whiiiiirl my beloved

Im always so impressed by how the artists make these characters emote. The squinty lil optic...

The list of what is wrong with these men is so long but I love them all so much

Whirl. Whirl. Buddy. I distinctly remember something about your Nemesis being a guy named something else entirely and definitely not Killmaster--

Genuinely fascinated by this entire conversation, and also in awe of how JRO effortlessly seems to come up with the most badass fantasy technical terms ever. Widowed metal. Holy shit.

I also love how the Lost Light is big enough that we can have this drama happening upstairs and then THIS happening directly beneath their feet as;dfjlkdsjg

Oh look, the cavalry! Cyclonus here to help!

OH UH, FUCK??

HOLD ON HOLD ON.

I AM CALLING HOLY BULLSHIT.

Falco: Gnasty and Andross might just be waiting for us. Fox: If K Rool planned this whole thing out then it's more than likely. Spyro: They might have a mech to use against us too. Fox: Well, in any case, keep your wits about both of you. Spyro:... Falco: Having second thoughts? Spyro: No. It's just a lot that has happened since this journey began, and to end it all in one fell swoop seems too good to be true. Fox: Think nothing of Spyro. Spyro: One thing is for sure. I'm going to make them pay for what they did to ember. She didn't deserve that kind of treatment. Not ever. Falco: Just keep that emo form of yours out of this, got it? Spyro: Got it. Falco: Here comes trouble!

*Andross Army and Gnorc Fighter Ships flew towards fox, falco, and Spyro*

*Spyro went into flight pattern as he torched one of gnorc fighter ship wings*

Spyro: WOOHOO!! I KNOW I'm alive!! Falco: Shoot, he's right behind! I can't lose 'em! *Did an aerial roll to try to get away* Damn!

*Fox flew behind and shot down three ships behind falco*

Falco: Great, I guess I owe you one. Fox: Don't relax, we're not done yet. Spyro: *Switch to electro mode as I got struck by lightning to supercharge my electricity then breaths lightning and shot down ten ships* I'm so good, it's shocking! Falco: Show off! Peppy: How close are you to Andross and gnasty gnorc? Fox: About ten more miles, they just keep picking us off though! Peppy: Keep trying fox, no matter what we have to end this here and now! Fox: You got it peppy!

*The trio kept going while also dodging enemy laser fire and continue shooting most of their ships down*

Spyro: Hostile down! Falco: Enemy ship down! Fox: Keep going guys, we're nearly there!

Slippy: I've analyzed the mech guys, aim for the power core in his chest! But take out the arms first! Fox: Thanks slippy. Spyro: Ready Sparx? Sparx: *Buzzes*

*Both Fox and falco went to shoot the arms first to weaken it and also distract Andross, Spyro went into the core to destroy it*

Andross: You imbecile! Stop the dragon before he destroys both of us! Gnasty: I'm trying here! Spyro: *Went in front of the window and make faces* Naaaaah, naaaah! Gnasty: Why that little pest! Spyro: Hello! ^^ Andross: Get off our mech!

*The gnastydross mech opened its mouth to shoot out energy until Spyro dodged, two of its arms were destroyed*

Peppy: That's it guys, the mech is weakening! Andross: You think you've stopped me? Think again!

*The core closed up as four more extra arms came out along with lasers and missiles came out of its hands*

Fox: Impossible! Gnasty: HAHA! You'll have to do better than thaaaaat!

Falco: Where the hell have you been?! Ghaster'hauns: Sleeping. Falco: -_- Ghaster'hauns: Being lazy is one of my specialties what can I say. Andross: GO TO HELL!!!

*Gnastydross fired all missiles at fox, falco, and Spyro but it just went through ghaster'hauns, including lasers. All three of them were dodging and barrel rolling through them*

Ghaster'hauns: *Yawns* Any requests? Falco: Breaking the damn thing apart would be good! Ghaster'hauns: Got it. *Flew right into the mech and started taking it apart*

*The controls electrocuted and some of them were fried*

Andross: What?! No! Something's messing with the controls! Gnasty: Don't look at me! I didn't spill any drinks on it! Ghaster'hauns: *Flew right out and dust my hands*

*The Gnastydross started exploding as pieces came off then flew down to the ocean and its entire mech was destroyed*

RP Mini-Solo 26: 'Musings of Hell'

{Fire. That's all I can see. In every direction. Bright. Blinding. Shooting straight up into the black and endless sky. On the ground...lava flows through webbed cracks everywhere...though...since I'm dead...it never burns my feet. I'm sure that it will be a different story altogether with the fire...and...the closer it comes...the more that I will feel it's intense heat. Will I be immune to it's raw power? Or will it finally consume me...engulfing me...causing my skin to melt and peel away until I am nothing but a pile of ash...left to blow away on the hot breeze? I never expected Hell to look like...well...the vision of Hell that you always hear about...literally. The only thing that's missing is a cartoon devil carrying a red pitchfork. I never expected to be here at all. I figured that when I staked myself, I'd end up on the 'Other Side' once again...and then I'd find another witch...or my twisted buddy Kai...and they'd get me back out again...just like they had a bunch of times before...easy-peasy-blood-bag-squeezy. But no...that would've been 'way' too easy for me this time. Apparently, karma saw fit to bite me on the ass...big-time...and I ended up...here. Looking back on it now...I never should have passed through those big, black, iron gates when Kai had presented me with the big, black, key to Hell. I should have just turned around...and gone back the other way...to...what...exactly...I have 'no' idea. Maybe I would have just kept wandering around in limbo forever. Still...that option would've been a whole lot better than what I've been facing since I got here. I never expected to be stuck here with my nemesis Wes Maxfield either. Long story short...he pissed off another vampire...had his heart ripped out...what a shame...I'm only a 'little' bit sorry about that...and I guess he side-stepped limbo altogether and ended up on a one-way trip to the 'bad place'. So...we're stuck together...whether we like it or not...even if he says that it has nothing to do with the word 'we'...and I've come to following him around like a little lost puppy...which pisses him off to no end. Mostly...I just don't want to be alone in this place...and...alive or dead...he's still a total ass...and I 'really' despise him. I wish that I could push him off of an 'extremely' high cliff...watching as he tumbles to the fiery depths below...but...with my emotions back...I know that I would feel 'really' bad about that later. Well...maybe...still...no. Anyway...having to deal with Wes aside...that's not my worse problem here. Nope. The worse part is the torture. Ongoing. Seemingly endless. At the hands of all four of my exes...including my former...ummm...current...boyfriend. Even though I know that this version of Damon is only a Hellish carbon copy of sorts...it still doesn't hurt any less...both physically and emotionally...to know that he can do all of these things to me...enjoying every moment...the most sinister laughter that I've ever heard slipping past his lips...as he continues to torture me...over...and over...along with the rest of them. Seriously. They actually take turns...but Damon always goes first. It's like this evil double is the ringleader or something...and they all follow him. Now...here I lie...on the hard ground...bruised...bloody...and broken...in more ways than one...and I know that it's probably not over. I have no idea how long I've been here...how many hours...days...or weeks...have passed...or even if it's day or night. Something tells me that the passage of time doesn't matter in Hell. Worse yet...I have to agree to the deal that the devil...Cade...made with me...if I ever want this...agony to stop. And trust me...he's 'way' creepier than any cartoon version could ever be. He'll let me out of Hell...and send me back to my former life...but only if I agree to collect souls for him...meaning I have to kill people for him...both good...and bad...it doesn't really matter...for the rest of eternity. If I don't hold up my end of the bargain...he has the power to drag me right back to Hell...and keep me here...forever...and there's no way in...there's no 'way' that I want that. So...again...I don't really have much of a choice...and...my suffering will continue...while my mind struggles with my morals...and I try to delay the inevitable for as long as I possibly can. Speaking of suffering...I can see all four of my exes approaching in the distance...drawing closer every second...Damon in the lead...obviously...the others falling in line behind him. Even though I can't currently see them...I can tell they're there because of the extra three pairs of footsteps that my hearing is picking up. Awesome...I 'so' need to get out of here...but I'm not ready to give up my soul...as tattered as it might be...just yet. Seriously...what did I do to deserve this?} I bolt straight up in bed...my eyes wide...gasping for air that I don't actually need. Luckily...I didn't manage to rouse Damon...and I glance over him to the small clock on the bedside table. Three a.m. Figures. Why is it 'always' three a.m. when it comes to nightmares? After drawing in a few deep breaths...holding them...and letting them out slowly...trying to clear the mental images of fire and brimstone from my mind...I lay back down again...rolling over onto my side and snuggling closer to Damon...tossing an arm around his waist and pulling him up against me tightly...afraid that I might lose him...in more ways than one...either to the devil...or to my own...problems...after I got back. I've only been back from Hell for a few days now...just shy of a week...and...every time that Damon tries to touch me...I immediately try to pull away. Kissing is fine...cuddling is also doable...but...whenever he tries to touch me in anyway that might lead to anything...sexual...I completely freeze up. He's been patient with me...but...I'm afraid that if I can't find a way to be...intimate with him...soon...that he might decide to leave me...despite his promise to marry me someday. I know that he's hoping on an answer to that particular question soon...but I just...can't find the words right now. My emotions are all over the place. And I know that he feels 'really' bad about leaving me in the way that he did...but...I just feel like...things...haven't been the same since I got back...partly to do with what occurred while I was in Hell...and partly due to how he made me feel when he disappeared. I wonder...if it's time to just...call it quits? No. I quickly shake my head back and forth at that thought. Damon's been 'so' patient with me, since he walked back into my life, that I feel like I owe it to him to try that much harder. Besides, he even turned his humanity back on for me. If that's not love, I don't know what is. I don't want to do...or say...the wrong thing to end up pushing him over the edge again...maybe for good this time. All I know is that I can't live without him...which is how I got into this whole messy situation in the first place...and...even if I 'did' decide to leave...where would I go? What Wes said to me in Hell...he wasn't that far off. I guess I really 'am' pathetic. I've become so dependent on having people in my life...and around me...all the time...that I don't know how to function alone. Could I go back to my former home in Los Angeles? Yeah. Bad idea. Being that I'm a vampire now...and a 'ripper' at that...I would probably end up attacking Mick...or even Josef...or possibly even one of his girls. I don't see Josef handling that situation very well. I'd probably end up in the bottom of the tar pits. It wouldn't be a problem...if I could control my...urges...but...if I can't control myself around my boyfriend...what makes me think that I'd be able to control myself around anyone else? So...I guess that option is out. I continue to lie here...listening to Damon mumbling in his sleep about something...wondering how I'm going to tell him 'everything' that happened to me while I was trapped in Hell...and why I don't want to have sex with him...yet. Funny...I used to want sex 24/7...now...the mere idea of it...kind of...freaks me out...and he has no clue why. It's because I haven't been...totally...honest with him. He knows that I was tortured by him...and my loser exes...sure...but...what he doesn't know...is that I was also tortured sexually...by all of them...but it hurt the most when he was the one doing it. Now...I'm all for whips and chains...with or without humanity...but this...was...'so' different. It wasn't pleasurable torture...by any means. It was painful...and violating...and I don't know how long it will take until I'm able to have sex with him again. I just hope he can be patient with me. Although...if I can get up the courage to explain myself to him...maybe he'll be that much more patient. Plus there's the problem of figuring out how to free me from this deal with Cade...and...as much as Damon keeps insisting...I don't want him...his brother Stefan...or anyone else involved. If something happened to any of them...I don't think that I'd be able to live with myself. But...I guess that can also wait until later. For now...all I want to do is to lie in this bed...stay close to my boyfriend...knowing that he'll do the best that he can to protect me if the devil happens to come calling...and try to chase those bad memories of Hell away. It takes quite a bit of effort...but...finally...I let my eyes fall closed...and begin to drift off to sleep... [END]
