Happy Fathers Day

[worldlydesiretemple]

imagine this with me. apollo inviting klavier to dinner to meet his father (& sister) and klavier, Unaware that polly's been practically adopted into a certain family by now, is all excited like ah! herr forehead is finally warming up to me! this is a beautiful step in our relationship, i can't wait to meet his family! our summer wedding will be elegant and beautiful as he deserves! and then klavier shows up on their doorstep with a little flower arrangement and shit and the door swings open to reveal nick, lazily grinning and leaning against the doorframe like heyyy klav what's up and klavier goes pale

I’m forever going to be pissed that the Krakoa era didn’t take the opportunity to resurrect Jean Grey’s family

In case you don’t know, Chris Claremont intended for Jean’s sister, Sara, to be a latent mutant with her powers making her a walking cerebro; Sara’s children, Gailyn and Joey WERE mutants. Sara was killed by Cameron Hodge in the 90s, and her twins were killed by Shi’ar Death Commandos in the 2000s.

So, with all that in mind, they could have been resurrected by The Five on Krakoa, and we could have had a really interesting storyline with Jean dealing with that. But nope! X-Office doesn’t want Jean to have any connections or development outside of her family with Scott. Hell, she barely acknowledged the fact that her family was annihilated while she was dead.

Such a missed opportunity, I hope Jean can get revenge for their deaths during the Phoenix series. Or maybe they can find another way to resurrect them.

(Side note, if Gailyn is resurrected soon, can we give her a new name? Because Gailyn…is a bit dated.)

Thank you, Mr. Phoenix. I do employ an excellent tailor; her work was truly worth every penny I spent on my court attire.

The Mystery of the Wolf of the Courts (Ace Attorney / Professor Layton)

A certain defence attorney has been in Layton's dreams lately, to an embarrassing degree. Unfortunately, that isn't the only puzzle he poses for the Professor.

Hey this is rated Mature so watch out for that. Also many Layton series spoilers (Hershel do be like that lol)

Anyway uh. Have this! It'll go places!!

[thegrimmlibrarian]

A Critical Role and Professor Layton crossover was NOT something I expected when I did a random google search but okay!

(for context, Liam O’Brien voices Subject 3 and Dimitri Allen in Unwound Future and Clark Triton in The Last Scepter, Laura Bailey voices Angela Ledore in Miracle Mask, and Matt FREAKING Mercer voices Henry Ledore in Miracle Mask)

Rowan got back from work and went out to dig around in the dirt for a bit, while Bailey wandered around outside looking for people to prank. It was looking to be a peaceful afternoon, until suddenly, Bailey (and me) caught a glimpse of some COMPLETE STRANGER just GOING INTO THEIR HOUSE?

[ID: Three Sims 4 screenshots, featuring Bailey Landgraab and Phoenix Willett, another Sim, who has pale skin and brown hair in a bun. In the first, Phoenix is washing her hands in a sink. In the second, she is standing next to a violin, being yelled at by Bailey. In the third, she is sitting at a table with Bailey, both of them looking very upset. End ID.] She just-- walked right in there! Used their sink! Used their computer! And, horror of horrors, tried to play Rowan's violin. Only Bailey gets to randomly use Rowan's violin, thank you! Bailey was very upset by this, and yelled at Phoenix for quite a while.

[ID: Two Sims 4 screenshots. In the first, Rowan stands outside near a bush, looking at their phone. In the second, Rowan stands in the kitchen, turned to watch Bailey throwing a glass of some red liquid onto Phoenix. End ID.] Rowan, who had been standing outside playing games on their phone for like an hour, finally returned in time to witness a significant escalation. Thankfully, they managed to get Phoenix to finally leave, taking with her a new grudge against Bailey.

[ID: Two Sims 4 screenshots. In the first, Rowan is stomping in a pile of trash outside, smiling enthusiastically at Bailey. In the second, Bailey is also stomping in the pile of trash, looking very happy. End ID.] After this stressful encounter, the two decided to relax how any normal grown adults would: playing in a pile of trash.

WHO DID THIS ILL RIP THEM APART

Mouth stitched shut

AI-less Whumptober alt 21: mouth stitched shut

Aaron brings in his friend Joseph to help tend to Phoenix after they're tortured.

Joseph belongs to @i-eat-worlds. This was originally part of an rp we were doing, I wrote this up and Worlds edited it. Enjoy!

1.1k

CWs: immortal whumpee, hero whump, traumatised whumpee, medical whump, painful medical care, past medical whump, flashbacks, mouth stitched shut, caretaker new whumper, no anesthetic

"You sort their mouth, I'll do the words, we treat the rest together, and you do your very best not to show them how angry you are. Got it?"

"Got it." Joseph's dealt with traumatised patients before, it’s practically his specialty, and it's part of the reason Aaron asked for him specifically. This must be bad, if Aaron thinks that worth mentioning.

Aaron nods and pushes open the doors.

Phoenix is lying on the bed, whimpering slightly as the nurse inserts an IV port. Apparently, they can't pack the wounds and general anesthetic doesn't work on them. It's one of the curses of their version of immortality. It seems particularly cruel right now.

They're both scrubbed up, and Aaron leans over Phoenix as the nurse finishes positioning the line and exits. Joseph takes over the job of preparing the lidocaine to inject.

"Phoenix, can you breathe for me? That's it. This is Joseph, he's going to help me with some of your injuries. That okay?" Phoenix nods, and Aaron gestures for Joseph to take over.

"I'm going to give you tramadol and lidocaine through your IV before we start. Should hopefully last longer with both. Let me know when it starts to hurt again."

Phoenix freezes. Their wide, glazed eyes stare up at Joseph like he's their worst nightmare.

"Phoenix? You there?"

_

"I'm going to give you some... IV... hurts."

Phoenix isn't completely there, they know that. But they can see him.

"You know how much general anaesthetic hurts. Don't misbehave and I won't need to use it."

No... no, that's not him. That's Aaron's friend. And he has... scissors? Medical scissors. Shiny medical scissors held in a clean, white gloved hand.

"I'm going to cut the stitches in your face, and Aaron's going to work on the carvings on your torso. Hold as still as you can." He leans over Phoenix's face. They flinch as something touches their side, and Joseph pauses before pushing the scissors into their mouth, the metal depressing the first stitch, leaning against their lips, almost pressing them open.

"Bite down on this, it'll help. Or don't. Just make sure your screaming doesn't distract me."

Phoenix bites the folded strip of leather that's shoved into their mouth, vision blurring as their eyes fill with tears.

Joseph cuts through Phoenix's stitches as they grip the table tightly, one torturous thread at a time. They watch him closely, afraid, aware, distantly, that Aaron's at the other end of the table, that Joseph could do whatever he wanted and Aaron wouldn't know, if they even believed them or cared anyway.

It doesn't hurt as he tugs out the loose threads far too gently, small pieces coming out of their lips, but it starts to sting as he dabs at them. They manage to keep their face free of movement and expression until a needle jabs into their side, and then they yelp, jerking, knocking their head on the hard metal table.

"That didn't last long. Aaron."

Joseph disappears from view and Aaron appears, resting something softer under Phoenix's head.

"It's okay. I'm sorry, Joseph is giving you... take my hand while it kicks in."

Phoenix sees the gentle calmness on Aaron's face but it morphs into a harsh frown when the IV bag comes out.

Their heart speeds up and they turn their head to one side, then freeze. "Please, please no, I can be still, please don't use that, sir, I–"

"What do you think we're going to do, Phoenix?"

"Why do you think I'm doing this? If you can't stay still, I'll have to keep you still."

"Please. Please, I'm sorry, sir."

"It's just painkillers. Just lidocaine this time. Phoenix, easy, I can't– it should be kicking in any moment now. Breathe with me. In and out, nice and slow."

Phoenix does. To do anything but obey would make things worse.

As the pain recedes, their vision swims and they see Aaron and Joseph above them. Not... not him.

"Sorry, sirs," they whimper, "sorry."

"It's fine. I'll let Joseph take over with your face, and let's go again."

Joseph nods. "I'm just going to finish cleaning up your lips and then we can move onto your limbs. Hold still."

Phoenix manages it this time, locking themself up as Joseph dabs at their lips, then moves quickly onto their arm. He makes fast work of cleaning and treating their various injuries, worst first probably, and Phoenix is just about ready to let themself trust those treating them when something wraps around their wrist.

They almost scream.

"Please, don't restrain me, sir, I'll be good, just don't restrain me, please!"

"Stop being such a baby. If you didn't want to be restrained you shouldn't have squirmed so much." When Phoenix can't stop themself he slams their head into the table, leaving them dazed enough to be strapped down, leather tight enough to mark. "Calm the fuck down. I'm doing you a favour removing these pieces as fast as I am, the least you could do is co-operate."

"Easy, Phoenix." But Phoenix can't help bucking, despite the looming consequences, writhing and thrashing because they can't be that helpless again. "It's only bandages. Breathe, remember where you are. Try and relax. You're with Aaron and Joseph, you're safe."

It's hard, so hard, there's nothing they can do, but then something ice-cold lands on their forehead and they gasp.

"Come on, come back, there we are. Stay with me now."

"Please don't kill me. I know I'm, um, inconvenient sirs and it would be quicker if I were dead but please don't kill me, sir."

"We won't kill you, Phoenix," soothes Joseph, "You're not going to die, it's okay. Breathe."

"You're not going to die, don't be ridiculous. But if you keep struggling I'll just wait until you're dead temporarily and take the pieces out then. Some every time until it's done. It's your choice."

Phoenix whimpers, barely able to concentrate on words they really should be listening to.

"We'll take it in turns. One of us stays with you. Joseph, you treat their injuries first?"

"Sure."

Aaron stays with Phoenix, taking their hand. "Stay with me. Focus on me, kid, you're going to be fine."

_

As Joseph takes his turn helping Phoenix stay present, showing them his worst best cat memes to distract them, he realises it's no wonder Aaron warned him to hide his anger. There's no history of Phoenix ever working for a villain, or being held in longer-term captivity by one, which means this was more likely caused by a hero. Joseph knows there are assholes who become heroes, he's met a few, but for someone to do this...

Whoever caused it, he's going to kill them.
