#bro is literally almost always injured

[tasklinemgr]

oughh. rotating gambit in my mind all day

[woominutes]

ko kyungjun as a boyfriend

he is THE hates everyone but you bf

bad boy with a soft spot for you kinda trope

just replace bad boy with bully

he doesn't go out of his way for anyone except you

princess treatment? you got it.

he'd make jinha and seungbin do the work when they are around lol

his love languages are;

acts of service

holding doors for you, buying you snacks, walking you home, helping you the week before and during your period. the things he does for you can erase any doubts that may arise in your head about his feelings for you.

he might hold back sometimes to not appear as a simp and maintain his reputation as the tough bully though.

physical touch

always has his hands on you in a way, mostly around the waist or shoulders. it is a sign of affection but also ownership as he wants to make your relationship known to other boys so they don't even dare to make a move.

also having you on his lap, he loves that. especially during recess at school, you can be found sitting on him while he zones out or talks with jinha and seungbin.

and quality time

asking you to hang out after school, inviting you to his place to chill, tagging along when you have errands to run if he is in the mood for it.

this guy literally walks away from people and situations when he doesn't care to be bothered so spending his time on/with someone definitely means something.

now about gift giving

i don't think he'd put a lot of thought into gifts. on specific occasions like anniversaries or trying to impress you, yes, but nothing too fancy otherwise.

however, you'd get little things; like a flower from a random garden he passed by from.

in my eyes, he's a casual sharer in a relationship

what is his is yours, his basketball sneakers being the only exception. food, clothes, his bed, his heart, everything.

you like his jacket? you'll share it back and forth, one week his and two weeks yours. you like his hoodie? take it. you like his shirt? wear it (but bring it back after a month and borrow another). you like his earrings? you can wear the right one and he'll wear the left one.

words of affirmation is not something he is good at

it's hard for him to express himself. he can throw a few playful sweet words here and there but rarely gets serious. he has his moments, especially after intimate situations with intense feelings, but they're few.

rarely says "i love you", he shows it instead.

he'd be the one to secretly need words of affirmation despite denying it

not too much praise though, he'll get cocky

bro felt love for the first time and his world changed #canon

such a show-off, especially with basketball

"this is for you" *misses the shot*

once threw the ball in hyunho's face because you were looking at the poor boy for too long and kyungjun got jealous

cue nahee running to help hyunho with his bloody nose

he eliminates your worries when he can

(we all know how I'm talking about)

tending to his wounds whenever he gets injured

insecure hence extreme jealousy

someone looks at you for too long? glares at them. someone talks to you? either waves them off or mocks them when they leave. someone confesses to you? they get threats as a warning. someone touches you? disappeared from the face of earth.

i could actually see him wanting to kill other boys out of jealousy but he'll hold himself back by giving them a light beating instead.

"me? jealous? ha! I'm better than that asshole"

yeah yeah sure

bro is so aggressive

you'd most likely have to witness a lot of outbursts of anger

but he apologises after, usually

intended empty words or not, you'll witness his wrath again because that is his reaction to almost everything that inconveniences him

he's throwing things and punching walls

BUT NEVER EVER hits you

even if he unconsciously shoves you, he regrets it immediately

many, mostly minor, arguments because of misunderstandings and lack of communication

he is not very confrontational when it comes to a relationship, either because he doesn't want to appear vulnerable and clingy or he doesn't know how to express himself and figure out why he is feeling the way he does.

when his hidden feelings of insecurity and discomfort bubble up, it's hell for the both of you. screaming, crying, him acting like he doesn't care to protect himself.

and his impulsivity makes it harder to make up sometimes

he might say hurtful things out of anger that will keep you away from him for a while but he rarely actually means them, it's just his defense and illusion of security.

possessive and slightly controlling

he cares too much when he considers his relationship serious and it's not just him fooling around.

unfortunately, he'll use manipulation when he wants something badly or to convince you of something. if you call him out, he'll drop the act and most likely get annoyed.

he needs a lot of work when it comes to the negative aspects of his personality for a healthy relationship to exist

he is not too much of a bad guy, he just has issues

and needs therapy

passionate makeout sessions

those big palms and veiny hands know how to grip. he's the dominant one and he won't have it any other way, wanting to have power and control over the pace and movements.

high libido, that's all i'm apparently allowed to say :P

learns and remembers a lot about you

especially your habits and quirks

if you smoke too;

he'll share his cigarettes with you

and steal a couple of yours when he is out of his

if you hate smoking;

LIKE LITERALLY CANNOT BREATHE AROUND SMOKERS

he'll make an effort to not smoke when you are present

brushes his teeth or eats a piece of gum before he kisses you if he meets you after smoking <3

can't have you thinking he is gross smh

if you're short;

he definitely teases you about your height

picks you up just for fun or carries you around like you weigh nothing

ties your shoelaces for you

playfully insulting each other and bantering all the time to show affection

you're the only one he actually listens to <3

you shove him or nudge him when he is being too mean to other people or crossing a line

still goes wild when you're not around

you are his lockscreen <3

not too much of a talkative texter

sort written replies but long voice messsages

oml that voice

sends you pics of himself all the time, expecting compliments and praise

shirtless mirror pics focusing on his abs? all yours. manspreading pictures? you got them. selfies in which he tries to appear tough but his cheeks and soft features make him look like the cutest boy you've ever seen? yep.

cares a lot about how you view him so he takes a lot of time to make sure he picks the right pics to send you.

let's not fool ourselves, he knows you love those muscles and he purposely puts them on display for you

cuddles with kyungjun are warm and tight, becoming one under a blanket

more of a motorcycle guy

buys you your own helmet <3

not one for fancy dates, maybe dinner here and there, but prefers casual hangouts

movie nights at his house, late night walks and rides, chilling at a convenience store after school.

just peaceful private moments.

pretends to not like cheesy couple things, such as matching outfits or pajamas, but they secretly warm his heart

he takes your gifts very seriously; wears them to please you or carries them around with him

get him a neck pillow

you have him wrapped around your finger no matter how much he denies it

jinha has gotten a good smack in the back of his head for voicing that fact multiple times

Headcanons for mcyt x reader doing a cooking/baking stream together??

warnings ; language, grease fires

masterlist

TOMMYINNIT

you guys were making lasanga

Garfield jokes every five minutes

there's pasta sauce and cheese everywhere

he's constantly screaming to the viewers because you keep slapping him with the lasagna sheets, cooked or dry

"y/n! help! I'm being assaulted with lasagna sheets!"

he stained his shirt with pasta sauce 💀💀

almost set the house on fire bc he somehow left shit in the oven before preheating it

you turn on music halfway through and it turns into a karaoke stream

"CALIFORNIA GIRLS WERE UNFORGETTABLE-"

RANBOO

you were making soup because you found a good recipe you wanted to try

you accidently spilled the broth and covered your legs in it

he cut himself chopping up the celery (very minor cut dw)

"cooking stream? more like we injure ourselves for two hours stream"

"cooking stream? I hardly know her"

very chaotic but very good soup

during the intervals where you guys were just waiting for things to cook, you started a hashtag on Twitter to ask you guys stuff

and you answered them while keeping an eye on the food

afterwards you guys watch TV and eat your food while still streaming

"normalize eating on stream 2024!"

FREDDIE BADLINU

you were making breakfast for dinner on stream

you had to go use the bathroom while the bacon was cooking and left Freddie to tend to everything for less than a minute

and he started a grease fire.

after he got it extinguished he kinda just stood there waiting for you

meanwhile chat was exploding with panic and laughter

"Hey, y/n, I don't think we're having bacon tonight!"

"What the fuck happened???"

luckily no damage to anything other than the meat

the rest of it was really good though, and the stream had enough action for tonight 💀💀

NIKI NIHACHU

you guys were making cupcakes

you dropped like two eggs 💀💀💀 so while she was getting new ones you were cleaning up all the eggshell fragments and the insides

you got the camera to show stream your fucking mess and someone sent a dono saying "butterfingers ass"

the cackling after that 💀

you're able to get them into the oven though

and while you're waiting for them to cook, you watch dance moms and discuss everything wrong with it

commentary youtubers? I hardly know them

she begins making the icing while you pull the cupcakes out to let them cool

10/10 cupcakes they're amazing

you guys had a pride flag theme so lmao

ALEX QUACKITY

you were supposed to be making pancakes as a little challenge

his are literally raw and he put chocolate chips from the freezer straight in them

"that banana isn't gonna help anything"

"how do you know that??"

flour is everywhere. it looks like a war started

you put to much non-stick spray on the skillet and started a little fire

but Alex to the rescue dw

he couldn't even figure out how to use it and almost sprayed himself in the face!

goes on Twitter later to update that your kitchen was completely fine but the underneath of your microwave is a tiny bit melted

you blame him every time after that 💀💀

"my microwave melted a bit because you don't know how to use a fire extinguisher!"

"youre the one who used too much spray!"

chat always sides with you, too 😭😭

FOOLISH GAMERS

you thought making fried rice was a good idea? wrong

he literally has no idea what's happening

"can you make the scrambled eggs for me while I tend to the vegetables?"

"how many?"

"they're literally on the cabinet"

chat clipping every single funny moment too

"is the rice cooker even on? holy shit you left it on warm"

"I thought that meant it was on!"

"dude you've used this thing before, how long did it take for you to cook it?"

"like, forever"

"oh my god"

fried rice 10/10

he's complaining about the vegetables like he didn't have like two hours to say something about different veggies

[marronje]

Now having gotten somewhat used to the void in my chest I can finally drag all my thoughts about the epilogue into one pile

I know it may be getting old for some of you guys already, but I haven't seen some things being discussed anywhere

My problem with the ending is actually with the audience, I literally have almost no issues with how the epilogue is written, all the minor ones I have don't come from the epilogue but the previous plot building which wasn't perfect by all means.

1. People forget that this chapter isn't the Epilogue but the Epilogue pt. 2

TWO PARTS YOU KNOW

Please reread 430. You did? Now let's compare.

a) Can you see what the chapter is focused on? 430 is a lot more shallow, it focuses on facts and tries to contain all the changes at once and looks VERY rushed. Hori didn't have much time with his schedule, so of course he tried to fit all at once and nothing at all. This chapter is more about the system and facts, trying to answer the more crucial questions fans may have.

Chapter 430 has ~20 pages

431 has almost 40 (!)

b) 431 finally has time to look at the characters up close. Why there is so much about Uraraka? Well, because in the pt. 1 she's got one panel and a couple of words. That's why half the chapter is about her now, because she and Izuku are the male and female leads of the manga.

c) Why didn't we have more of Katsuki? Well, this character isn't very known for huge inner monologues and all this sappy stuff. We can get enough from character interaction and subtle cues, as always. Despite being a big asshole and a major loudmouth (I say this with all my love and adoration guys), Katsuki is a really stoic character. And this kind of character doesn't need a whole 5 pages writing down their motivation and inner thought process. I like this. This man remains the most conscious person here and has the greatest development in the series (and Shoto, sure, these two are on the whole other level compared to others in terms of writing)

Izuku and Ochako are more open to us, and it shows in the chapter's way of storytelling

And Shoto is still the most relatable dude here, me too, Shoto, me too...

2. Izuku is NOT shutting Katsuki out of his life. He basically invited him to TEACH TOGETHER just like Katsuki invited him to BE HEROES TOGETHER.

To me it shows clearly that these two just found their two paths that don't align fully. Izuku has been teaching for years after his quirk was gone. Sure, he still adores hero job, but he already has stability and purpose and it's IMPORTANT to him. He's only been back to heroics for a month after all. Izuku has matured significantly, and I respect that about his character even if it's not perfectly written.

"Izuku wouldn't ever decline the offer". Do I need to remind you that it's whole 8 years after their school days?

Imagine yourself 16, dreaming to start a rock band with your best friend. You're both so passionate about it, you think music is the most beautiful thing in your life and you'll never be over it.

But you get your fingers injured severely, and you can't play your guitar anymore. You're devastated, but your knowledge is valuable and you get a whole teaching degree and go to work in a musical college. It feels very fulfilling to you. But your friend is very talented, he continues and pushes forward and actually becomes a worldwide known rock star! You're so glad for him!

But the time passes, and your friend, now famous and loaded, states – you're getting most expensive treatment and surgery, and we – I and our old band bros – pay for this.

And your fingers, they work properly again. You had a whole life of 8 years, and now there are so many possibilities open. You know your friend wants you to join his band and travel and rock the stage together, he offers it to you without expecting much, because he knows you have your life settled already, you can't change that with a flick of a wrist. He's an understanding friend, even if his passion for your old shared dream burns brighter still. You can join his band for a concert or two once in a while, it's a good reprieve from your everyday life. But as much as you love music, your priorities shifted significantly since your youth – and now teaching is as important and precious to you.

You even invite your friend to give a lesson of two in the college where you work. It's a way for you two still remain in each other's lives even if your paths are a bit different now. Your connection is built on compromise and genuine support from both sides, and it's fantastic!

I know the analogy isn't perfect, but it works I suppose.

3. About Himiko and Ochako. It's a painful one, but

No, Himiko wasn't haunting Ochako for the whole 8 years, it's probably a time to time occasion. It's not because Ochako is tired, it's because she can't let go of her guilt and at particularly taxing times it manifests in these visions.

Dreams are still a big mystery for science, but what we know is that they're almost always NOT about what you see, but about the hidden layers of meaning.

And of course we know this is not REAL Himiko, it's just Ochako's mind.

So I don't understand all the weeping around Himiko now being DEAD FOR REAL OH. This is Ochako's mind, not a literal Toga's spirit no matter how much Horikoshi wants his symbolisms to be literal in this story. It's still open to interpretation if Toga is dead or notnot (she's coping).

Tsuyu is so Tsuyu 😭😭😭

Right, my girl, this dummy really thought there's something wrong with her health while she just needed to see a psychologist...

I remind you that psychotherapy is severely underdeveloped in Japan. There's still a lot of stigma around mental health there, so please keep this mentality in your mind while reading manga. "They could just go and see a therapist." No, they couldn't. Their culture doesn't work like this, and societal norms aren't a joke in Japan, they're literally overwhelming.

And about how this chapter "ruined" Himiko. To me, it didn't.

"Himiko was written for Ochako". Exactly. Ochako's main negative character trait was inability to open up about her true feelings, putting up a cheerful front and all that.

Himiko was created to get her to understand what suppressing emotions does to people. Unfortunately, it seems she didn't catch this message fully until Himiko told her with plain words and freaking pushed her forward.

And isn't it a torture for Himiko seeing Ochako beating herself over her death, putting up a brave front to avoid her inner struggle which is COMPLETELY OPPOSITE to what Himiko tried to convey?

And Himiko loved both Izuku and Ochako, so of course she wants them to be special for each other and open up to each other too.

Because Himiko LOVES love in any form (pun intended), and wishes happiness for her special people, and sees how they have been holding back from living how they wanted.

Do you really think Himiko would prefer a depressed Ochako having hallucinations of her over an Ochako who's opening up and rebuilding connections with the man she yearned to reach out to for so long?

And of course I'm not about the ship. This manga was never about the ships. We've got a clue that Izuku barely had any contact with his former classmates since graduation in 430. This chapter is created to gives us hope that it'll change, starting with Uraraka because Uraraka was the one to reach out to him first in the beginning, and now it's his turn.

I imagine that it's just a start of the reconnection arc. Izuku can do this with the rest of his classmates too later, and knowing his tendency to butt into others' business he certainly will.

(Yeah, it's an actually good idea for a new tome for you Hori, not Boruto 2.0, never Boruto 2.0 please...)

4(?). This one has gotten me confused...

They studied 3 years... so they must have become class 2-A, then 3-A.... I hope it's a bad translation.

Do you trust Jirou? She certainly did put a whole ton of wasabi in his food, look at her face

Katsuki not toasting because he's the sober friend for his whole bunch of idiots>>>>

(he really has come here for the food)

Katsuki, when did you undergo your Syndrome arc?

Modern headcannons for the sawyers, if they had internet lol

TW: mentions of war, mentions of dead animals, Lots of sweet sweet cringe mentions of sexuality

Modern headcanons:

Bubba:

He watches those sensory videos of people cutting up bits of soap, along with makeup tutorials, religiously. It makes him really happy.

Definitely has scented candles and fairy lights everywhere.

His pet chicken has her own instagram account, and he treats her like a queen. She’s managed to become somewhat of an e-celebrity.

He’s probably able to talk to a degree, write and use sign-language, having gone to some sort of school, since education for those with learning difficulties has progressed a lot since the 1970s.

A brony, but fortunately of the wholesome variety that just unironically likes a television show about cute talking animals.

Overall, he doesn’t use the internet nearly as much as his chronically online older brothers, and probably shares a computer with Drayton.

Nubbins

Is a furry. There is nothing anyone can do about it, and although Drayton regularly tells him he’s a degenerate, he refers to his hands as paws. He has an extremely mangy fur suit that he made himself, out of real animal pelts, and looks like some sort of rabid dog type thing, although it's virtually unidentifiable.

Made a YouTube tutorial on how to collect the best roadkill, and promptly got roasted for it online. However, he literally doesn’t care, and just giggles whenever anyone sends him a strongly worded email.

He has been the subject of about 5 Kiwi farms threads, and has somehow managed to become a full fledged lolcow. Again, he doesn’t give a damn and is just living his best life. He’s the definition of “cringe but free.”

Definitely posts his photography on deviant art, complete with out of pocket titles like “Headcheese” and “dead skunk :D.”

For some reason he knows all of the brain rot slang there is to know, and uses it in everyday conversation, much to everybody’s chagrin. Also ends text messages with “Rawr XD.”

Robert/ Chop Top

Total emo, complete with a bizarre haircut and neon green highlights. Of course, this is just a wig; he was injured in Afghanistan, and got his head plate when he got almost blown up by a landmine. Owns a lot of kandi bracelets.

He lurks on 4Chan, and seriously believes he’s well on his way to finding Bigfoot, and pigeons are malicious government spy drones with poisonous droppings. Also occasionally trolls random people.

Instead of loving In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, he listens to Nyan Cat on repeat.

Unfortunately, he’s also a weeb. May or may not own a body pillow, but hides it well whenever Drayton’s around. He owns at least one katana and sometimes just sits in his room making anime sounds and waving it around.

He doesn’t have a Discord kitten, he is a Discord kitten. He’s shameless, and will sell pictures of any part of his body for a few dollars. Bro is broke.

Has watched literally every shock video he can get his grubby hands on. Lemon party, Goatse, blue waffle (by the way, don’t look these up, you might need eye bleach) he’s here for it. Cackles like a maniac whilst watching, too.

Most of his search history consists of the aforementioned shock videos, “how to talk to females IRL” and “feet pics pretty.”

Drayton

“What is a mee-mee?”

Starts random beefs with other chilli competition contestants on Facebook. These get really heated, to the point of death threats.

Has been hacked about a dozen times, because his password is always “password.” He thinks this is really clever. Sometimes his brothers go onto his account post cursed stock images and ruin his credibility.

Has like 50 tabs open on his search engine at any one time. His computer is permanently on the brink of death, but stubbornly hangs on.

[selfawarecobalt]

bro that fight was absolutely ridiculous! I love Gray but that was clearly main character syndrome. when Freed said that the rune won't cancel every magic to give Gray a chance I knew this was the first excuse to have the Raijinshuu lose. if serious, Freed could've just cancelled everything and the fight would've been over before it even began. then the Gray doesn't feel the torture rune excuse out of nowhere and the fact that Gray won against Evergreen Bickslow AND Freed with all ridiculous reasons and then struggled against an injured and exhausted Mirajane afterwards while Freed was holding up great against an emotional-overdrive, rage power Mira in the fight with her, it's all just so badly written. I would've given Gray the advantage of using devil slayer magic against people like Mira and Freed but at least make it a damn good and difficult fight because not only Mira is a power to be reckoned with, Freed has been set up to be too. then there are Ever and Bickslow qith their eye magics as well, and how they were knocked out was a joke too. I dont want this animated.

EXACTLY. I’ll be the first to admit gray would be powerful enough to defeat individual members of the thunder legion (that main character power boost) but that was an utter piss take. gray still struggled against just bixlow during their first fight, even if he couldve beaten him. that “um actually gray cant feel pain in this form” was completely stupid. ive seen a lot of awful things from modern fairy tail but that was undoubtedly the worst. also that “omg of course i feel pain i was hitting my comewades :((((“ INFURIATED me. didnt have that energy during what i assume was meant to be a “comedic” scene of him just beating the shit out of freed when he was already down. also the whole “lets rip the clothes off the only girl!” thing made me want to barf. i genuinely believe it would’ve been better for their characters if the thunder legion had been killed in the tartaros arc.

also YEAH THE WHOLE “struggled against an exhausted and injured mira” genuinely gave me vertigo after i finally escaped from having it shoved down my eyeholes. like yeah mira was rusty during her fight with freed but she was absolutely rage filled, and it was really emphasised just how powerful she was, and it was STILL a tough fight. against just freed. the whole thunder legion vs gray shouldve been a sweep in the other direction. weve seen they can all work together, using their unique magics to complicate things for enemies.

cant think where else to put this so im slapping this in here. EVEN THOUGH GRAY HAS DEMON SLAYER MAGIC NOW FREED HAS A FUCKING SWORD. also that stupid “gray teleports behind evergreen and bixlow” thing? WHAT KIND OF DEMON SLAYER MAGIC IS THAT. all fairy tail main characters are the worst type of mary sue. and i LIKE mary sues.

evergreen can turn people to stone and fire hundreds of BULLETS and explosions. bixlow can use his babies to beat the shit out of long distance targets and take control of their bodies (NOT TURN THEM CHIBI. HIRO.). FREED CAN FUCKING TURN INTO A DEMON AND ALMOST INSTANTLY TRAP PEOPLE AND DEPRIVE THEM OF OXYGEN, AND CUT A GODDAMN TORNADO IN HALF. THESE ARE VETERAN FIGHTERS WHO WERE ONCE ABLE TO DAMN NEAR TAKE DOWN THE ENTIRE GUILD. now theyre just a joke. their personalities have been completely erased and replaced with “omg laxus!!”. im going to hurl

if you HAD to make up an excuse to weaken them, sure you could make up some shit about “oh the barrier particles damaged their magic containers” BUT EVEN THEN THEYRE STILL SMART ENOUGH TO WORK TOGETHER.

seriously. this was the most blatant case of main character nepotism ive literally ever seen. i genuinely despise 100yq, it always felt so lazy and uncreative. uhh yeah actually surprise theres four more acnologias but more powerful. yeah theyre were never mentioned before so what. every character looks the same now. the lucyification of the fairy tail girls needs to be studied. this infection is taking away every single character and the only reactions im seeing to it are “omg glow up!!”

(also i HATE seeing people talk about the spinoff characters like “omg so cute its like an alternate universe” NO ITS JUST LAZY. HE ONLY KNOWS LIKE 4 CHARACTER TYPES AS MAIN CHARACTERS AND IM SICK OF NOONE ACKNOWLEDGING IT)

[neverchecking]

Imagine a whole ass debate with a rebuttal and everything 💀

Warriors is citing his time as captain or wtv and that he’s reliable and protective (rebuttal would probably be about how he can’t retire from that job for a long time and it’s very taxing)

Legend has a ton of protective gear and he’s just really cute (rebuttal would be abt his hoarder tendencies)

Sky is one of the firsts so of course his child should be first but also he’s well educated kinda, good with kids, has a tight knit community, and has a super cool bird the kids could ride (rebuttal, he’s in the fucking sky. What if the kid just jumped off)

Twilight has a ranch and a horse. Good with animals, works at home kinda, can become a fluffy dog (rebuttal me personally I’m mildly allergic to dogs, and also ranches take up a lot of time. As a country person I know, I know it all too well)

Wild has long hair the kids could braid. Has horses, can cook a good meal, doesn’t get tired of cooking, has a thing he can take pictures on, well travelled. (Rebuttal he does some stupid ass shit bro, and also he isn’t always considering what his actions do. What if he does something stupid and gets seriously injured and the kids and reader are like fending for themselves for a bit)

Time. He’s responsible, a good leader, the oldest, has cool markings. (Rebuttal. What the fuck happened with the moon. Also FD mask, what if the kids got their hands on this super dangerous mask that has a god inside of it. Assuming that FD isn’t unleashed alr)

Hyrule. HES SUCH A CUTIE OMG. He’s half fairy, good with kids, soft, inviting, can literally heal (rebuttal, the blood curse. What if the kids inherit it cause like genetics and stuff)

Four. Works at home kinda, he’s also a cutie. Could make little toys, is good under pressure, is around their height, good playmate (rebuttal. If the smithing area is inside the house easy access to burns. Also the four sword is a thing)

Sage. Has nice hair as well. Protective, has two houses technically, can fuse things together, can make cool little things to ride around on with reader and children (rebuttal. He can make literal torture machines, and he’s a little unhinged. Also Wth is up with his world. That place is not safe at all)

Fierce Diety. A literal god. (Rebuttal. A literal god. Does godliness get passed down, idk but he’s also like really tall and that’d hurt a lot. Like procreation and having fucking this dude who’s built like an actual monster’s kids pop outta yah)

I don’t have a good read and cal but pretty much the same stuff abt Sage and wild. Just a different font.

HBGFIFBND SKY'S NF9FF 'What if the Kid just jumped off?'

THAT LITERALLY TOOK ME OUT-

I also love how a point in all of this is whether or not their hair is good. That's an incredibly important point.

Wars I love because his job would take a lot of his time. But because of said job, mans is loaded. So money is another good stand point for him. (Rebuttal: He had a literal time and space wizard-ess after him??? imagine her going after your kid man-)

Legend is someone who has seen everything. So he is so smooth and steady, nothing really phases him anymore. Including anything your kid brings to the table. (Rebuttal: He's an asshole. I guarantee any of his spawn are also assholes)

Sky is literally hug shaped. He would be the cuddliest dad and so affectionate <3 (Rebuttal: I deadass almost couldn't come up with anything- mans is such a helicopter parent. His kid couldn't even breath without him being there)

Twilight is also so dad shaped. Like, look at him. As someone who also lives in the countryside, I know he's the dad to hold his kid close, watching the sunset as he explains some far off tale. (Rebuttal: Is the 'Just rub dirt in it' dad.)

Wild. His horses are a great point. But, he also has so much energy? He can take all the night shifts with no problem. Can make meals filled with both vitamins for post-partum and energy boosting effects that taste Amazing. (Rebuttal: He has ghosts. Just following him. Like??? Those can't be good babysitters???)

Time. He's so calm and patient. So anytime the baby gets to be too much for Reader, he's easily stepping in and swooping them up, settling them within seconds. (Rebuttal: Fought the fucking moon- Also, has farts that are comparable to an actual try on your life. Idk what this man eats, but someone has got to find what crawled up his butt and died)

Hyrule. Loml. I love him. Gibe him smooch- He has babysitters out the freaking door. His sisters absolutely adore you and your baby and bring the best presents. (Rebuttal: Yeah that blood thing is pretty bad, but he also is the worst at saying no to your kid. That kid will be so spoiled and you'll be forced to be the stricter parent)

Four. He's also got babysitters. That are him! Win-win! Can handle multiple things at once and should the colors be needed, he's got that male relative that I'm still uncertain about! (Rebuttal: Talks to your kid like their both men in their fifties sitting in a bar, catching up after years lmao)

Sage! Great hair. Also cool arm. Has two houses, but that asshole princess took one, bitch. BUT he also has horses :D AND DonDons. We love those guys. Can also cook and he's the dad to walk around shirtless with the kid on his chest, napping, while he does one thing or another. He is also rich because he cheats the system--I.E. the universe. (Rebuttal: Yo wtf is UP with those hands in the ground?! And the TREES?! Nothing is safe. Also, the sages? Not great babysitters. Especially his giant robot. That one is not the worst however. That's Sidon's title.)

Fierce Deity. He can reach the top shelf. He's got a cool sword. He's got a nice face, would like to sit on it. He also is super old and probably super wise. Probably. (Rebuttal: LDNFNG I LOVE YOURS SM I- YEAH, TEARING FROM THE V TO THE A JUST BIRTHING HIS FUCKING KID)

For Cal, may I offer-

Calamity. Strong knight and used to following the orders of those above him, especially his Goddess and his child. He would go to the ends of the heavens and hells should it be what they wish (Rebuttal; Mans has the emotional capacity of a fucking Rock. Also, he eats rocks. Imagine your kid just eating rocks because their dad did. Return them both/hj)

So obviously, with all these options, pros and cons, there is only one real option.

Courage and Koridai.

Nah I'm fucking with you-

First. I see no flaws with this man and if there are some I don't wanna hear 'em.

[tacky-jack-with-a-hat]

I have brought angsty stuff here ya go >:)

-New York can’t walk some days due to misaligned bones that never healed, courtesy of England’s A+ parenting

-NY is TERRIFIED of fire. For like. Many. Many. Many. Reasons.

-Texas works so so much that he’s literally always in some sort of pain. He won’t admit it of course. He’ll just limp his gangly ass through the rest of the day 🫠 (dude someone help this poor man 😭)

-Texas is also always some form of unwell in terms of illness. Like- bro is always running a damn fever or cough, and even nausea is pretty damn common for him

-hangovers are REALLY bad for Loui, especially since they don’t happen a lot. He’s always got a mind-splitting migraine, and he’s extra snappy towards everyone, which he feels really really bad about later :(

-loui has lost sensation almost entirely in his left shoulder and upper left arm due to the burns from Deepwater Horizon (did I mention that they were instantly infected due to the nasty crude oil-)

Trigger warning for angst although if you read the post you probably already know

•7/10, I actually grew up in England. I never made headcannons bc I think they would be too dark. There's so many things I could get into detail with but for now I'll just say if England was a person, they definitely would be abusive especially emotionally. Also as you were reading this the English have robbed your house, and now it's in the British museum.

•9/10 Fear of fire is justified.

•8/10 someone get Loui to sit this cowboy down-

•8/10 SIT DOWN TEXAS YOU NEED REST

•100/10 concerned, poor Loui would be the worst hungover. Not only is he constantly drunk but the states probably trust him with so much information because of how calm he usually is- not only would he be snappy but he would also have no filter say something personally hurtful even if he didn't mean it.

Texas asking for advice: just- I don't know what to do?

Loui *with a migraine*: go to therapy, your dad isn't going to love you either way

Texas: ...

Texas: yeah you're right (ಥ⁠‿⁠ಥ)👍

•I didn't know what Deepwater was but I looked it up and found out it was an oil spill that killed 11 people, injured others and damaged wildlife. No one has served jail time for what happened. The families of the victims are still alive. I don't know much about it but I personally feel uncomfortable with ranking this hc.

Your other hc's are great tho and I do enjoy talking about darker topics just not real ones involving real people and death. Unless it's the submarine. I don't know why but I don't feel the same way about the submarine. It confuses me

[nukacourier]

(My courier six lol)

(Uhhh he always wears things that obscure his face when w/ the legion or in uniform)

Galileo Numicius- first Travels-many-Trails, then Omari, and now sometimes Evan Davis, is as his name suggests… legion. This isn’t 100% by choice however, t’was both forced and well, partially a side effect of him being overly… hopeful? As a teen- having found the legion when exploring (he had multiple… public identities sorta? Already at this point- and loved to just go into towns and learn all about ‘em, hence the Omari thing lol), and genuinely believing from their words that they wanted to help make the wastelands safer. Alas bro had to watch his parents get well, y’know.

He did, however, become one of the first frumentari (def there before Vulpes at the very least)

Fast forward a bit, woagh, bros in his late 40s, Mojave time wahoo- he was in plainclothes on the trails by himself when he spooked the actual courier six and had to ‘kill em, just took the chip and stuff because it seemed odd- aaand of course that later resulted in him getting shot in the head.

Game story wise, kills benny, goes to that canyon but helps whatstheirname instead of the in game one, he makes deals with as many groups as possible- as well as one less my by oc Adrasteia who technically split off from the pre white glove group, DOES NOT have a great time at the sierra madre- locks bro in the vault hehe, misc info gathering from my oc Jean, nukes the ncr after lonesome road, and well, Legion victory- then ofc kills jean 💀

but well… that thing on the back of his mind that has been bothering him for so so long finally consumes him- what the hell is he doing? The legion has been lying to him, they never helped anyone! Its just killing and pain over and over again in an endless cycle. But kinda gets zapped to big mt before he can process that, yay Grandpa Mobius. Stays there for a while afterwards, before well, wiping out the legion’s leaders and nuking their capital. Kinda easy when you’re so modified that you’re more machine then human at this point even if it doesn’t look like it

technically canonically after that he just, walks out to the desert and starves himself to death but I meannn

But yeah, he was never loyal to the legion because he’s a bad guy- hell the bad things he did haunted him endlessly- but he was just… too… whats the word not hopeful exactly… that in the end they were genuinely going to change things to be y’know, good. But he was just used his whole life and it disgusts him almost as much as he was disgusted by himself. Alongside this he has so many disguises that basically nobody knows the real him, and nobody knows how he feels deep down inside, probably unhealthy ngl he’s suffering.

random facts ig lol

He’s very much aro ase, but is not against initiating romantic relationships while gathering information.

He actually… Surprisingly enjoyed Big Mt- yeah sure his organs were stolen, but he pretty much combed the whole place doing all the tests and what not… After the arc, and hoover dam, he was known to visit frequently simply to talk to the think tank. (He also had a rather long- positive- talk with his brain, they both agreed to reunite, but Galileo feels a bit weird that his own brain is the only ‘person’ he’ ever truly agreed with)

Bro literally reads boring ass psychology books whyyy

Mobius is kind of an adoptive grandpa to him?

Galileo’s ENTIRE life has been devoted to his extreme desire to make the wasteland safer, and a better place for humanity- by discretely nudging things around in the background, and researching prewar texts. He desperately hopes that by the end of his life, the difference will be noticeable… But lately he’s begun to realize that the Legion’s original goal seems to have grown greatly corrupted…

Galileo is technically a certified surgeon, although he more-so learned this just in case he was all alone, and injured.

He has quite a few implants, alongside the cybernetically augmented organs from big mt.

Children sort of intimidate him- any time he’s around them he’ terrified they’ll be injured under his watch, as they seem downright unpredictable.

However, his ‘close friends’ don’t actually know him as himself, and are rather friends with one of his personas. He does somewhat enjoy hanging out with most of them (rip Jean, he did NOT like you 😔✌️), but personally feels he can’t truly have friends. After all, happiness may cause him to slow down, and care less about his mission. At least, thats how he thinks

Extreme photophobia- but his night vision is quite good.

Loves cross dressing and doing makeup.

Legion uniform + usual outfit when as / pretending to be Evan Davis

Unfortunately James himself is very distrustful of the Legion (reasonably) and tends to be very, very hard headed when having to speak with any of their members. But, that being said, if it was a situation like Ulysses where he met him after defecting from the Legion—he'd probably feel sympathetic since he managed to break from the viscous cycle. Although probably still holds some uneasy feelings and mistrust because of the Legion history

James does tend to be very interested in hearing people's stories, so at least that probably gives your Courier a bit more of a boost in the way he'd be intrigued enough to listen

Although it's hard to lie to James, he's good at picking out inconsistencies and applying logic in people's stories (thanks to his 10 INT and high perception) so I feel like he wouldn't want to listen unless he was sure he was being presented with something true

They might have a chance to bond over both being unwilling experiments-turned-friends of the Think Tank however

[im-out-of-it]

season 1, episode 9 discussion list, “rise up”

this one and the following episodes (especially Malec) will be broken up in many parts so I thank anyone who takes the time and reads them 🥰

1. I feel bad for Simon processing that he’s a vampire. oh and he thinks Raphael did this. wait until he finds out it’s his supposed bestie

2. he has to process that 1. he’s a vampire. 2. his bestie made this choice for him. 3. he can’t go out in the daytime. 4. can never be near his mother right away or tell her the truth without her thinking her son is a monster. 5. has to go through all these changes. 6. having to rely on blood for his food. 7. oh and yeah being a downworlder who is seen inferior in the shadow world

3. “Alec, I need you.”- jace. bro does he know anything besides begging Alec for help? I know he doesn’t know yet that Alec was injured but think about someone else for a change. Alec has done everything for Jace and he’s still like “oh I need you to do this.” good on Izzy for shutting that down

4. like Alec is literally injured??????? I’m sorry about Simon but jace has been fixing Simons problems for the last episodes and no one is concerned about Alec- besides Izzy and Magnus

5. “Valentine attacked my home. Alec is injured, we have to go.”- jace. at least he’s finally showing some concern for Alec. and then clary is all like ummmm I can’t because of Simon. he’s finally putting Alec before clary (which is rare) for a change

6. “say that after you get my bill.”- Magnus making everyone but Alec pay heavily for his services will never get old lmao

7. giving Magnus the cold shoulder 😭 Magnus offered free services and Alec declined 🥹

8. well meliorn has just been arrested so sit tight while Izzy finds a way out

9. and Izzy is not having it

10. and also can we talk about meliorn and izzy? I really like the show version of them together. in the books, he doesn’t really give a shit about izzy and Alec eventually kills him. sorry if I spoiled anything but if it’s saving you from reading the books, you’re welcome, I’m happy to provide my services 🥰 I just wish they would have dated a little bit longer. I like Simon with Isabelle but it’s not formed and explored very well

11. Lydia is basically like you told state secrets Isabelle and be lucky you aren’t arrested lmao “I have orders, I never wanted any of this.”-Lydia

12. it’s hard to take sides because I’m on downworlders side for most things so I agree with Izzy but Lydia can’t just go against the clave without anybody backing her up. also we have to remember that she thinks this needs to be done because she couldn’t save her husband and he died. so maybe a part of her thinks this is necessary which infact they’re going to possibly torture a downworlder and that’s still wrong.

13. well now everyone knows that Alec is engaged 😬

14. I love how most of season one Alec is YOU LIED TO ME because literally almost everyone is lying or deceiving Alec

15. “they’re the ones who tarnished the Lightwood name”.-Alec has a good point because Maryse and Robert but mainly Maryse goes on about how Alec and Izzy need to basically be perfect while they committed atrocities in the past. I do think Maryse had growth in the show but they’re expecting Alec to fix their reputation and that’s a lot to put on your son.

16. and this is why we don’t go home after becoming vampires:

17. you almost kill your mother 😭

18. “Simon, we have always been here for each other.”- clary. oh you mean how he’s been there for you? that’s accurate but have we actually seen clary be there for Simon? yes she helps him when he’s kidnapped but he got kidnapped because of her. I’m sorry but I haven’t actually seen clary actually do something for Simon that didn’t benefit her in a way

19. “you call that love? where I come back to this nothing, where I feed, and I have to hide from the sun, and I can’t bare to be by the people that I love.”- Simon go off 🔥 because she is showing that she did it for herself. oh because I love you Simon! yet you never thought how Simon would process this change

20. Simon had every right to be upset with clary

21. the clave treats jace as some valuable being but here the clave finds out that they have had the cup this whole time 😬

22. “She’s risked everything to find it.”-jace. “and we’ve risked everything for her.”-Alec. literally Izzy almost gets deruned as a result of jace wanting to not take sides until clary is involved. they broke many clave rules but that doesn’t matter to jace. I don’t like the clave but I don’t agree with a powerful cup being in the hands of someone like clary or Jocelyn.

23. I don’t know if Alec has really gone too far with meliorn’s arrest because it’s not like he’s issuing these orders but he is following them. so it’s kinda just as bad, you know????? but after learning about his parents betrayal and jace not having his back, Alec most likely feels he’s ran out of options and thinks this might be the best case scenario (just a thought)

part 2 coming right up

[sunny6677]

So this is just for if Hermes ever points out Sunny always trying to be responsible—

1. Sunny immediately gets worried when she wakes while Hermes is taking her away or while she's been taken away because she realizes Odysseus and the crew aren't around, and immediately starts trying to tell Hermes frantically that she has to get back to them. But he calms her down. And when they arrive or later on, she almost tries to leave because she feels like she 'has' to get back to them or do something to help even if Hermes has already told her Odysseus is the only one alive, but Hermes stops her.

2. Sunny keeps trying to refuse Hermes' offers for help while he's taking care of her, even when she clearly needs it. And since she needs it, Hermes does it anyway and Sunny reluctantly just goes with it.

3. Sunny almost tries leaving with Odysseus when he goes to get the crew in the Circe Saga, but she's stopped obviously, and Hermes points it out to her telepathically.

4. Same as 3, but he appears to her later and points it out then.

5. Sunny literally goes 'I'm not a child' at some point, and Hermes is like '..yes you are—what do you mean????' and points it out (and also points out how she never seems to let others help her).

6. Sunny very obviously needs help considering she's literally crying or injured, but keeps refusing it from the crew. So Hermes shows up and decides to help her instead. She keeps insisting she doesn't need it and she can do it herself, but she obviously can't, so he helps.

7. Sunny keeps trying to hide that she's afraid of something, but Hermes can obviously tell because he's a God, so he decides to calm her down. When he asks why she was trying to hide it, she says that it would be 'immature' to react so visibly or to not remain calm. Which Hermes obviously denies since it isn't immature and then points it out.

8. Sunny is basically refusing to let the crew take care of her, and while the crew is gone, Hermes shows up and points it out.

8. Sunny tries doing a task she obviously can't do just because she thinks she must, so Hermes pops in and is like 'bro chill' basically before helping with whatever it was and then pointing it out.

9. Sunny catches herself getting emotional during something, and literally apologizes for doing that because it was 'immature'. Odysseus, who she was apologizing to, is like '..what??? No—' and after he says she doesn't need to apologize, Hermes pops in and basically tells her the same thing.

10. Sunny keeps insisting she needs to be responsible for something like she's an adult. And Hermes is like '..no you don't???? What???'

[mimir-anoshe]

But ok it was probably where I started shipping them; like can we talk about this scene???

How I wasn't expecting it at all but it made me heart fucking flutter because after all that carnage it was so protective and soft.

The way he looks down at her 🥺he's just lost Mae to betrayal, had to fight against the Jedi and defend himself against the Umbramoths, almost died to Sol if it wasn't for her...

Homeboy knew she was there, even when he was fighting the umbramoths he was probably keeping tabs on her and Mae's positions; he's so attuned to her in the force that, like Sol, he will always find her. Because of their connection, and Osha's power.

After being a speed demon - a fast as fuck boi - this entire episode his movements are slow, assured of himself, like no matter how fast or slow he goes: the force will lead him back to her. He approaches her like a wounded animal, circles like a wolf who has slowly been stalking a lamb. She's at his mercy, vulnerable. But instead of circling prey, he finds another injured wolf in sheep's clothing (the white ass civilian robes), and "metaphorically" curls himself around her. Accepts her and sees her for what she is. Not a helpless sheep, but a sleeping wolf. Not taking advantage of the sleeping maiden, but protecting her as she rests.

He did the same thing earlier when Yord was like "Osha run!" Lmao. She sprinted, he stalked, slowly behind her, not startling her, but gently following. Like he's so curious about her! Just like in the apothecary, head tilts here there and everywhere. All he's feeling in that moment was the force right because of the sensory deprivation? He has no reason to follow her in the forest! Logically he should've been going after Mae or the other Jedi, or finishing off Yord. She was no threat, even with her stun gun; at least in the eyes of the Jedi. But he's pulled to her by the force, it's so strong it's like he can't help himself. He follows her, but keeps his distance. In one he's using her as bait, he knows Sol will find her because of her force signature, her power. But it feels like he's also protecting her, wanting her away from the Jedi, maybe even trying to herd her away so he can talk to her? Idk, it's a theory. He's testing her, seeing what she'll do. Is she the hunted, or is she a huntress?

Lmao I had to.

That is until he felt Sol in the other direction and suddenly the wolf bared his teeth (literally; good ol' Darth teeth). Possessive, protective, her animus. Her shadow.

The only time the stranger slows down, when he's not in fight or flight mode, is in relation to Osha. So as he stands above her, this predator, he looks upon her not with malice or ill intent, but thoughtfulness. You can almost tell he's thinking So they threw you away again huh? You're just like me Its pity and empathy and maybe even frustration/anger for her sake. And he says,

"What extraordinary creatures we are."

He does his head tilt, so he's considering her, before him physically and in the force. Curious, called? By her power, her vulnerability, her duality. Considerate of her, as her fate is in his hands. Like Sol, this is where he gets to make a choice; and change everything.

He could kill her, as Jedi scum, and protect himself. Then it would be a matter of hunting Mae and Sol, and slinking back into the shadows. He could do it, he still has time. "They see my face they all die" he promises that to Sol, to Mae, and he could protect himself right there. All he has to do is end her, and end them. But he would once again, be alone.

Or... he can make himself vulnerable. By staying and protecting her, he lets Sol and Mae go. And he does! In that moment, he chooses her over his own self-preservation. He chooses her.

I'm guessing he feels her injury before he sees it, and he's made his choice. Instead of choosing to kill her, he stays by her side, slowly lowers himself to her level and heals her. Bro what kind of foreshadowing symbolic bullshi-

Yippee! There's our girl! You see the movement he does when he heals her, he reaches for her, hand open, giving, pushing. It's right over her midriff, towards her stomach area, her uterus... He heals the feminine, he gives life, by the masculine giving...👀 I could write a meta just about the more prolific meaning of that, but some of you are thirsty enough. You get it. Anyway it feels like he wants to reach forward and touch her, hold her, support her. But he restrains himself, curls his fist, and suppresses his desire. For all his seduction, his sexy "imma get naked in front of her" temptation, he really doesn't actually act. It's like he's withholding himself. For all his "show don't tell" lmao, he wants her to make the first move; he just can't help himself to reach, to hope.

And because he heals her, instinctively she turns towards him. In her most vulnerable moment, he protects her, heals her wound and she turns to him of her own volition. She's not forced to, she's not pushed or manipulated by the force to turn. Osha in the force and in herself, trusts him. And I saw this and was like "Oh that's foreshadowing right?? Right? He heals her wound aka her past and her trauma and she turns, to him aka joins him" this is where the story is going. It's right there, she will trust him, and she will embrace him. Obviously ep 6 then 7 came out and made that a whole lot more obvious, but even in this tiny scene Manny and Amandla demonstrate the story at the core of the connection between these two. Duality, desire, and trust.

That's what the entire quote is about, the extraordinary way in which as humans we can be both at the same time. The dual aspects of our own natures, weak and strong, dark and light. Aware of the despair in our own victories. It might even be a little foreshadowing for Sol. And as a woman, the duality of her own power. How she is weak and strong, vulnerable and powerful, light and dark. Extraordinary. And in that he is projecting onto her as a reflection of himself, his own duality. In Osha's triumph over Qimir, in his triumph over the Jedi, they both still lost something. And perhaps gained something else. Ying and Yang, push and pull, light and dark. Balance. It's funny the use of the quote having the plural "we" and "our" initially insinuates he's talking about humanity as a collective, or just the "many" maybe even force users? But the subtext could just as easily be him commenting upon him and Osha. "The power of two." Foreshadowing them together as a team. "Their triumph" and "our despair."

And his expression. It's yearning, and almost... Relief? I dare say? He's found her. The stranger keeps a steady mask even without the helm, it's a survival tactic built from years of hiding and smothering his true self so he isn't discovered. I wonder if he even knows sometimes who he truly is anymore. The chimera having forgotten it's real head. But in this moment he's alone with her, no reason to protect himself, no one to hide from. He has made himself vulnerable to her when he could've remained the big bad wolf.

And you see it, his despair, his loneliness. He wants her, but he also wants her to want him in return; and he doesn't think she will. All his life he's been thrown away, and maybe he's become so used to that, the thought of this vulnerable powerful woman wanting him is just absurd. That is his despair, the hopeless thought that she'll never choose him back.

But the least he can do is protect her from the elements, bring her back, heal her, tend to her, make sure she's ok. And offer her a choice, lay options out in front of her and let her decide. Because he sees himself in her, and nobody probably ever gave him that choice. And episode 7 showed that Osha even though it was her choice to join the Jedi, in the end her dream, her choice, was built on a lie. So was it really a choice at all? Or was it Sols choice, Sols lie. That's another post, how he set her up to fail. Osha never stood a chance at being a Jedi, it was a self fulfilling prophecy from day one.

So Qimir, he wants to offer her the truth, and then let her decide, like Sol should've done all those years ago... There is failure in triumph, and there is hope in despair.

I can't do anymore images, but yeet back to the top and watch the amazing gif. It gives me heart palpitations, and feeds my soul. He's so touch starved in terms of affection, you can tell by how hesitant and gentle he is.

The light laying of the cloak - symbolic as it is - he's giving something of himself to her in an act of care giving and protectiveness; shielding her by sacrificing a part of himself (metaphorically). And he uses his "shadow" to do it, when all episode he's been using that darkness to consume; the thoughts and lives of others in defence of his own existence. He uses the cloak to consume and smother Sol earlier on, to blind him from the strangers true form, to use the darkness as a weapon. And the contrast with him exposing his true form whilst using it as an aegis/shield over Osha is almost hilariously juxtaposed.

It also has a lot of symbolic meaning in terms of a dark union, the maiden accepting or rejecting the clothing of her "shadow husband" and if the heroine will accept that suppressed part of her own psyche.

As a character, for her, he will expose his existence, make himself vulnerable, in the smallest hope that maybe... just maybe, he won't have to be alone anymore.

Even the way he touches her, it's protective and so tender. Affectionate. He pulls his hand along lightly, like he's doing something forbidden, like he's afraid, or is unsure. He pulls his hand up and away hesitantly, but then almost affirms himself and slides his hand back down to rest on her. Solid. Real.

He's not used to touching someone in this way, showing his own want and yearning so openly even though there's no one to see. He isn't being inappropriate, he isn't taking advantage of her. He's just softly laying his hand on her arm, like he's reminding himself that she's real and he's got her and she's ok. And even though she's asleep, it's like he's trying to tell her that he's got her. Assure her he won't leave her behind. We Stan a supportive boyfriend.

They left you, but I won't. I'm staying is what it feels like he's trying to communicate. He made his choice. He chose her.

I wonder if he was also being careful of her wound, and hesitated in sliding his hand down so as not to agitate it or cause her more harm. And he just rests there a moment with her, breathes with her. They're both still alive, they both survived (a lot). Right now she is his sole focus, he doesn't even indicate like he's going to get up and go after the freaking JEDI who KNOWS he exists or his own acolyte who just betrayed him. After his whole spiel earlier, it's kind of funny.

The touch is intimate. It's vulnerable. It's raw. If I was going to go full ship brained, I'd even say it was sexy as fuck how soft he is with her. But he's so jumpy, tense! The way Manny characterises the stranger with his body language is insane. He feels like an animal, a skittish deadly carnivore. It feels like a wolf settling himself down near his mate, a bit twitchy, alert, but slowly relaxing next to her. Letting himself become wrapped up in her. Bro doesn't take his eyes off her the entire time, he's fucking whipped.

The wolf metaphors are the easiest way I can think of to symbolise him as a predator fighting for his own survival, I'm not doing it for some omegaverse shit or something it's just symbolic (not that I would mind the fics Oshamirs go wild) and it's also a common fairy tale trope that Star Wars definitely mirrors. The big bad wolf, little red riding hood, he'll huff and puff and blow all the Jedi down lol, "a really long time ago" once upon a time. But in a heroines journey, in the story of the wild woman, in the fairy tale, sometimes the wolf is just a mirrored version of the darkest parts of yourself. And Qimir is definitely a mirror of Osha, her animus. The part of herself that she'll either repress until it consumes her. Or the part of herself that she'll accept, consume and integrate in order to become whole.

Because he chose her. And maybe, just maybe, she'll choose him.

It's sad, and tragic. But also beautiful and romantic.

Soft.

After ALL the carnage they had this gloriously beautiful soft shot

how am I supposed to be normal about this gothic romance shot!?

OCTOBER 5TH HORROR WATCH

Talk to me (2023)

Wait this is Australian?

I have no idea WTF just happened.

How old are these kids supposed to be?

Not lil sugar

Injured roo - do they not effup card like bucks

Couldn't do ett

Jeeezus violent family

No subs im tired and this accent

I'm going to miss this dialogue y'all

Oijua board shit common at parties i seriously can't tell what age they are supposed to be

And they don't believe she saw something but they are confident they can be easily hypnotized??

And they are confident weird things will happen???

Do they think they are just high??

How do they explain the phenomenon

What am i missing???

Axolotl!!!!! 😃😃😃😃😃

She's a bad big sister

Mom is not playing

Where did they get the hand

Brick wall

But yea it's hardly a party there are less than ten people

This is a hang at best

Hand rumors

Now there are questions

Is he belted in

There's like a moosh of ages

Great acting from everyone

This spirits a cunt 🤣🤣

Wow as much as i have heard about the film can't believe nobody spoiled that one

Ambitious scene there

Odd cuts

Yo i thought he left

Dude also a bad sister

The popular kid bully concept is always... interesting i think at best in only hinges on if they have access to shit, in this case the hand

Nasty work having the mom pop up in the kid

And then you move away okay rebound

Didn't get the eye

Keep going like this on the trangressive end

Now who's this?

Are those dual hitaachie?

Ofc she has it

They are still at the hospital

Oof

Why play with her if shes not interested he's already friends with protag?

Mom blames her specifically. I feel like that's against her initial characterization and she would blame everyone, her first but everyone else too

Thot dog, what a way to jump start career

Tiny statues

He's already said it "They read what we think"

Dated prior when dating doesn't mean anything because they are kids

Okay she's mad at her too

Wait I'm trying to remember the first thing the ghost said

She likes you?" Like protag likes lil bro? Via ghosty?

Where's youngin?

Who the heck is that odd cgi

Oh he right there

She's the only one we've seen with residual effects

That will fix it

They are jumping face first into the addition analogy

Well i guess i mean jumping into it quickly as an very quick downward spiral

Who?

Parasitic in how souls are said to glum on

Brain damage too?

Ooo bit permanent possession and suicide attempts

She really letting him

Yea trangressive

this particular one is almost a barley sheilded kink

Hes said he was seeing what?

This is the kid with the brother who killed himself ?

She got on

They all did

They are all blaming her

The candle

They gon let her do it on her own

Hows he gonna do the invite?

I don't think, that's how it works?

Who that kid?

No timer?

Whoa she said i let you in whoaaaa

Okay internal state is torture and torture looked vaguely like an orgy

Lots of links to sex and violence

Secret mom note

Lol they didn't actually show them blow out the candle.

Suicide note.

This is actually great framing for a thing to watch out for suicide awareness folks if your very depressed person is suddenly uplifted and vibrant (and maybe giving away their shit) if it's a 180 like that, they may have decided to off themselves and are feeling lighter and freer because they are letting go.

Oh they are playing her like a fiddle "he's lying"

Oof this is a lot now on an addicted person yes they can rip through lives but jeebus

Annd full hallucinations they got her to off her dad

Now the number one person she loves

I love when movies do the thing when they have the person apologize for being wrong at the exact moment something changes and now the person is right about them.

We were already primed with the roo and i forgot

Great work on that

Damn he's still alive

Traffic

Oh now it is a full loop

Another cut

Another cut? No same one

Ok i,m confused

It was a good ending but we are literally missing a whole chunk like you needed to wrap that last story before you hit us with the kicker

Kids gonna keep trying kids gonna keep dying

This was a hard chemical argument

There was no off ramp

No hope

No wrong turn

It was a one and done, no hope after

One time and you don't know up from down

There are definitely a few reads on this that are bad like at least 2 or 3 that are offensive

I don't think that was the intention i think it would have been metter to mitigate them by making different choices

Previous Part || Series Masterlist

He dislikes the subway. 

Other than his other valid reason to have disdain for trains, the subway is dark, it’s shady and he’s sure he’s seen rodents fight to the death here on several occasions.  

Still, he’s following you down the stairs of the station, watching as you whistle along to the song blasting through your headphones. There’s a backpack swung over your shoulders, hands stuffed into the pocket of your hoodie and converse doing a skip every now and then. There’s a bandana that’s tied across your face, acting as a mask to hide your identity. 

He realises that you’re dressed like a commuter. Were you going to dress the part every single time?

You walk along with the crowd. He follows, a few feet away.

Until you stop. He abruptly stops too, leading someone to walk right into him. 

“Watch it, dumbass,” they hiss with the courage of someone who has no idea who he is. He ignores them. 

He looks on as you dig around your backpack and pull out a roll of paper. A poster, he realises soon when you peel off a layer from the back and press it to the wall. 

Was it legal to put up posters in the subway? He wasn’t quite sure. 

He observes as you turn around and continue down the path. He waits a few seconds before trailing up to the poster.

Volunteers needed!

If you’re interested in being turned into a ghost for a couple of hours, this is your chance! Should be okay with being on camera so that we can make money off of taped paranormal sightings.

Paid opportunity. You get to pick your outfit. Randos don’t apply.

He yanks the poster of the wall before continuing down the same place you did.

He finds another poster along the way. He doesn’t hesitate in pulling it down. You were advocating to kill people. 

He knows he’s going in the right direction because more posters creep up along the wall.

The both of you are on the platform by now but to him, something changes about the placement of the posters. They were growing in frequency, the distance between them decreasing as they were situated close to each other.

He pauses in front of the next one, hand hovering over the paper.

All it reads is ‘STOP’.

He furrows his eyebrow, pulling it down before peering over at the next one.

‘TAKING’, is all that it says.

It doesn’t take him very long to make his way through all the posters in the hallway. 

‘THESE’

‘DOWN’

The train’s arrived by now but a quick scan over the crowd and he knows that you haven’t entered. That, and he knew that you were too dramatic to leave without a trace or a small conversation with him. 

‘DICKHEAD’

Tasteful, he thinks. 

“It took effort to make them, stop ruining it,” you whine from the end of the hallway. It’s empty, given that rush hour was over a while ago. 

Even though the mask covers half your face, it’s obvious that there is mischief etched under it. The twinkle in your eye is telling. 

“You’re literally killing people.” He holds up the poster. Not the ‘dickhead’ one. He pockets that for later. 

He knows there are a few minutes before the next train arrives and more people flood the station. The eccentricity of today lay in the lighting from the incandescent lamps and acoustics of the platform. It made his voice echo like a movie scene. 

“I very much am not,” you huff. 

“You’re turning them into ghosts. That’s what a murderer does,” he says pointedly. 

“Well, only if you keep saying it like that. You’re making me look bad.” You cross your arms across your chest. “What are you, Fox News?” 

A scurry next to him earns his attention. Two rats nibble at a piece of fallen food. He wonders when they’ll starting brawling. 

“Explain this.” He waves the poster around. He isn’t taking it too lightly he hopes. If it’s actual murder then it’s going to be an issue. 

You pull out a black cylinder, slightly bigger than a pen. He can’t really see any more details, but you hold onto it like a wand. 

“I’m turning them into ghosts. I’ll post videos of them doing stupid shit. I get famous and then boom, cash money.” You rub your index finger and thumb together. “I’ll give you a share if you volunteer.”

“You’re not explaining the death part.” 

He can feel it. You’re about to start derailing. 

“Winter Soldier, the ghost story. Literally.” You grin, yanking down the mask from your face to prove it. It pools around your neck. “That’s so funny, c’mon, it’d be amazing.”

It’s been years since he’s heard that. Never in this context. 

“No,” he says sternly, “and I’m going to have to bring you in if you’re going to kill people.”

The rats were ignoring everything that was going down like the hardened criminals that they were. They had probably seen worse. He can’t stop paying attention to them.

“I��m not killing them, bro.” You raise your hands in exclamation. “I’m just moving some molecules around, some frequency shit. They’re alive, just ghosts.”  

He’s always been one for science. Straight As throughout high school, attended science conventions as a hobby, alive even at 100 through some mad experimentation, definitely seen some weird shit during his lifetime. 

But this doesn’t make sense.

“No,” he repeats. “Give me the thing.”

“Fine, I’ll show you.” You roll your eyes. “Since you have absolutely no faith in me.”

He does a quick review of his surroundings. 

No one’s around, which is good. 

But that just leaves him in front of you, which is bad.

“Don’t you even thin-” he starts, muscles tensing as he shifts into a defensive stance.

You whip out the little pen thing from beside you but before he can react you turn around and duck. 

The click of a button releases a bright light, small but intensely stronger than the fluorescents in the station.

He reels back, feet carrying him away from where you’re crouched. His eyes quickly look down at his body. 

Nothing’s changed. 

He lifts his hand to check, runs it over his face. Still alive. He thinks.

“Behold,” you declare, “Ghost rat.”

He looks to where you’re pointing. The two rats from earlier were still nibbling on their food but something was off about them. 

He could see the faint outline of the tiles on the wall behind them, almost like they were... translucent.  

You aimed at the rats, not him. He doesn’t know whether to feel relieved or annoyed at the fake threat.

He watches as they move. They don’t look hurt or injured.

“Cool, huh?” you say smugly. 

He can’t stop staring at them. 

“Bring them back.”

“They’re fine, look how abstract it is.”

“Bring back the rats.” He can’t believe this is what his life has come to.

Bucky Barnes, Rodent Protector.

You aren’t fazed by his indifference, instead wonder filled eyes gaze at the animals. “Astral mice, sarge. Embrace the miracle of modern science.”

“You killed them.”

“They’re alive, they’re just ghosts.” You raise a finger to point. “Look, they’re still eating. Biological functions are still taking place.” 

 Which was true. But still. He doesn’t know what is going on.

“Bring them back to... non-ghost alive.” 

“You sure you don’t want one? That one kinda looks like you.” One hardened glare after you realise the answer. “Jeez, alright then.”

You dig through your bag before pulling out a matte black replica of your current invention. 

“Sexy colours, right?” You hold them up. “I modelled them after your arm.”

He looks down. Sure enough the gold and black matched his cybernetic limb. It was oddly flattering. 

“Say thank you, Y/N, for letting me be your muse-”

“Un-ghost the rats.” 

“Ungrateful,” you narrow your eyes at him. 

Still, you comply with his demands, ducking down to their level again.

A click of the button, a bright light and the rats are back to normal. Non-transparent normal.

“Okay, give me that.” He takes a step towards you. 

“Nuh uh.” You pull your arm back. His mouth twitches at your response; what are you, five?

The black one is stuffed back into your bag but you wave around the gold like a threat. 

He sighs, making a pass for it. In a second his arm is twisted and shoved against his back, forcing him to spin so that he’s facing away from you. His eyes widen.

What the fuck?

“Now we’re having a good time,” you whisper into this ear. 

He swiftly turns around, grabbing your wrist to rotate his own out of your grip. 

“Since when can you fight?” he asks.

“Are we getting to know each other now?” You raise your leg to give him a semi gentle kick in the side, using his momentary distraction in blocking it to give him a knock on the head with your free hand. “This is so romantic, sarge.”

There’s a low rumble in the distance and he knows the train would soon start pulling into the station. It was still a distance away, but his heightened senses warned him that it wouldn’t take much time. 

He groans. How much longer would he have to go at this?

He could easily win this fight and he knew it. But something in him itched, pulled him back from doing it.

He blocks another attempt at his head. “Stop that.”

You grin. “You know what’d be fun?”

He knows you’d reply even if he didn’t encourage it. The lights from the train light up the tunnel around the corner. 

“This.” You don’t give him a second to recover before you flick your wrist away from him.

The device flies out of your hand and right onto the track. The both of you watch, you in glee, he in horror, as the train runs right over it, unleashing the brightest light he had ever seen. His eyes shut instinctively before it blinds him.

He forces himself to pry open his eyelids, look at the damage caused. 

The train, sure enough, is translucent. He can see the posters on the other side of the platform through the carriage, through various people holding onto the poles for support or seated on the seats.

“Ghost train!” you cheer. He’s mortified.

“Fuck no,” he mumbles, yanking the backpack off your shoulder. He rummages through it, looking for the gold version.

“You lookin’ for this?” you ask nonchalantly, holding it up in your hand like it isn’t the solution to stopping a bunch of ghosts from wandering around New York. 

“Turn them back.” He gives you a chance. 

“Do it yourself, coward.” You grin, holding it above your head. The train is going to stop and he needs everyone to be alive and non-ghost before they leave.

He doesn’t wait this time, instead turning to you. The thing is still held in your grip above your head. He rolls his eyes, doing a quick assessment before grabbing your free hand, tugging you closer and plucking the device out of your hand before you have the opportunity to retract it.  

“Great, now figure out which button to press.” You’re dangerously close to him. He can feel your hoodie brush against his tactical jacket. “Also if you wanted to be all pressed up against me, you could have just asked.” 

He furrows his eyebrows, letting go of you as you give a loud laugh. He looks down at the device. It has several buttons, littering up and down the side. Each look the same. 

The train’s slowing down. 

“They’re both the same device; this version is not a magical solution to the other one. If you press the wrong button then both of us are going to be fucked.”

The last carriage is getting closer. 

“Say I win this round and I’ll fix it.” 

There’s a gleam in your eye. He knew this was exactly what you wanted. 

He wishes he was as stubborn as Steve, just run through each button until the right one worked.

“You win this one.” He hands it back. He wasn’t like Steve and judging by the number of items the idiot jumped out of planes without a parachute on a daily basis, Bucky was glad about it. At least Bucky did it sporadically.

“Yay, two each for the both of us, then,” you say, taking it from him and twisting, eyes running down the sides. “Close your eyes, old man, or else your cataract’s gonna get worse.”

Right as the train pulls to a stop, you press down on the button before throwing it and the blinding light that emanates from it. It lands on the top of the train right as the doors open. 

The passengers start stepping out. Some of them are looking at their hands and legs in a little disbelief, most just push through the crowd to leave.

He can’t see through them. It’s a good sign. 

He turns to look at you but you’re not there. Instead, the weight of the small device weighs down in his pocket.

The sound of a thud on glass draws his attention. 

He looks up at the train. The window of the carriage in front of him has a bit of fog on it. You trace a heart in the condensation and blow him a kiss before pulling your mask back on.

The train starts moving, leaving him alone in the platform again with your invention.

He lets out an exhale, wandering outside to grab a sandwich before waiting to catch the next train to go home. 

Later in the evening, he catches hold of a bit of tape and the ‘Dickhead’ poster finds a place on Sam’s door. 

He doesn’t appreciate it.

So now it’s tucked away in the shelf of Bucky’s bedside table along with a freeze ray, a ghost-inator, and some discount Pym Particles.
