#but he doesn't know that

[orangesand-lemons-234]

Anyways, just thinking about Racetrack Higgins on Christmas Eve. Albert and JoJo are already fast asleep on his both his shoulders, a sugar crash having hit them long ago, leaving the boy with his thoughts alone. Thinking about how somewhere out there, his parents are celebrating.

Maybe together, maybe with others. Maybe they aren't even celebrating Christmas at all. Maybe they're celebrating the first night of Hanukkah, like the Jacob's. But he knows they're out there. Wherever they are, or who they're with, or what they're celebrating, they have to be out there.

One day, he'll find them. He already has it planned. He and Al will save up a bunch of money and go out looking for them, and they'll find them right in time for Christmas so he can celebrate with them again.

He doesn't remember his last Christmas with them- he was just two years old, of course he doesn't remember anything. He just knows that the nuns found him on the doorstep of the Church, only a few months after JoJo was left in the same place.

But that's an adventure for his future self. For now, he's sat in the Lodge House with his current family, eating a leftover biscuit from the nuns and highly excited for whatevers ahead.

I don't know... This feels... Wrong.

The Narrator:

Sigh. Yes, it may feel wrong, but that only means you have a good sense of morals. Killing anyone may feel wrong, but I assure you, it is for the greater good.

The Narrator:

That being said, there isn't a moment to waste. The world needs you to save it.

Trolls - Chuck AU

No one is going to read this post but what the heck!

For everyone who doesn't know, Chuck was a T.V show that aired in the early 2000s, it's spy thriller with a lot of office comedy, where a retail worker is suddenly sucked into the world secret mission and lies when a government computer program is downloaded into his head on accident. I highly recommend it. It's available on HBO Max, please watch it.

The Au opens with, Creek sneaking into a government facility and downloading a computer program, known as the Intersect. The alarms go off, and suddenly Creek is blowing up the room and trying to escape. He makes it outside but is gunned down by one John Dory. In his "last" moments, Creek emails the downloaded data to a trusted civilian friend....Poppy.

Poppy is currently living, not her best life. She's works in technology retail, as an member of the local BuyMore's NerdHerd, after getting thrown out of Standford, by her ex...Creek. She lives with her sister, Viva, and Clay her boyfriend, who are both successful doctors. Clay and Viva are currently trying to play matchmakers to get Poppy out of her slump, by inviting their co-workers/friends to Poppy's Birthday party. Meanwhile Cooper, Poppy's bestfriend and co-worker, is trying to sneak the birthday girl out the back door. The Party is a bust, and the sisters have a heart-to-heart over it. By the end of the night, Cooper and Poppy are playing video games together, and then Poppy gets the email from Creek. After sending Cooper home, Poppy opens the email, and all of the data gets downloaded in to her head. From this point forward anytime that she sees or hear something that is related to the information in her head, she gets a flash of government secrets. Poppy has her first flash, when in the shower while listening to the radio.

On the spy side of things, two organizations, NSA and CIA, are left to scramble after Creek stole all of their secret intel. They (I'm thinking Essence and Quincy would be in charge of all this) locate poppy, who they think is Creek's accomplice, each spy ring put their best on the case as they both want to control Poppy. NSA puts John Dory on the case, while CIA puts their Agent Branch. Sure, the whole situation is a ticking time bomb due to the tension between the brothers, but the situation should be handled quickly (key word should).

Branch takes an offensive approach to the situation. He walks into the BuyMore, charm turned up to 11, and flirts with Poppy, much to her shock. He's not fully convinced that she's a cutthroat spy, especially after watching her help a little girl and her dad. However, Quincy tells him to push forward. So, he breaks into her apartment in an attempt to steal her computer. It fails when Poppy and Cooper come to the apartment earlier then expected. So, he's forced to move forward with a romance plan. He eventually charmed a date out of her.

Poppy comes home with the news of the date, with excitement. She and Viva prep normally, while Branch prepares for anything with knives and poisons. Date starts out as normal, and Poppy tries to keep it that way, by ignoring the flashes she has on the news and other triggers. However, when they go dancing, Branch notices that John Dory is making his move, with his own capture team. Branch takes out the team, and gets away in a car chase all while revealing almost everything to Poppy about the Spy world and Creek. The chase ended on the roof with John cornering them at gun point where Poppy comes clean about the email and flashes. This leads to her explaining that what the visions are telling her is that there's a bomb in nearby hotel that will kill several members of government if it isn't stopped.

Long story short, Poppy defuses the bomb, and NSA and CIA are forced to work together on this operation due to the sensitivity of it. This leads to rising tensions between, John and Branch as they don't trust each other due to current and past events, Clay too. He knows all about the spy stuff due to it being the family business, but he wanted no part of it, and cut contact with his brothers (except Bruce) for it. And he doesn't want Viva or Poppy involved at all. However, he has to just accept that Poppy is apart of this dangerous world, at least until the Intersect is out of her head.

As the next five years pass, things change and Poppy becomes a fully fledge Spy and her relationship with Branch would move beyond just a cover, VIva and Clay marry and have a little girl, and more family secrets would be revealed as Peppy would've been one of the creators of Intersect Program.

Of course these roles aren't completely solid. I've figured out ways to make it, as Branch being the one who got the intersect, and whays for Clay to be that one. The Poppy is the intersect one, that has made to most sense so far.

So, that's my rambling on this idea, watch the Chuck Series, seriously you'll have a fun ride. It's basically a show for nerds who like gun fights. If you have any questions, on this Au or any of my others, feel free to message me. Peace Ya'll!

I feel like Asta is the type of person to try sword swallowing without practice but does an oddly good job at it but it's horrifying the way he does it.

It was supposed to be only Tumblr post. It got out of hand somehow, but I love it. This is the scene I wanted to write on Tumblr, rest of it you can find on my ao3 :)

Regulus spends another hour just looking at the big black dog who didn’t move from his side. As soon as Regulus calmed the dog lay right next to him pressed against his leg.

“Don’t leave me,” Regulus whispered. The words just bubble from him, and he doesn’t have it in him to care. The dog lifts his head to look at him. He has greyish eyes. Almost like Sirius has. Regulus didn’t even know dogs could have grey eyes. “I… I missed you. I hope you will always come back to me. I don’t want you to leave.” He admits. As stupid as it sounds, the dog is one of the best things in his life right now and he is not ready for him to leave. He is so sick of people leaving. Not sticking around. The dog whines in what seems like an apology and buries his muzzle into Regulus’ hand. He pets him for a moment before reaching into his robes to pull out a small package.

“I got something for you.” He unwraps the package and pulls out a green collar. “I was thinking that you don’t have a name. And everybody should have a name. So, I bought this for you. Now we just have to figure out what to call you.”

Regulus thinks hard about any name that would fit the dog. Meanwhile, the dog snuffles all around the collar and the paper of the package. When the paper starts to bore him, he buries his muzzle inside Regulus' robes trying to find the food Regulus brought for him.

Regulus laughs and pushes him away. “It tickles. You always do this. Sticking your nose where it does not suppose to be…” He arches his eyebrow. “I should call you snuffles.”

The dog stops and looks at Regulus with a searching gaze. “Snuffles? Do you like it?” He asks and the dog wiggles his tail in agreement. “Okay. Hold on.” He carefully pulls out his wand and waves it around the dog tag on the collar. He looks at it critically. He hesitates for a moment and then waves his wand one more time.

“See?” He shows the dog the tag. There is in needly handwriting stated Snuffles. “And I added something. If you ever get hurt so people know to write to me.” On the other side of the dog tag is in the same handwriting added: In case of emergency contact Regulus Arcturus Black.  As soon as he secures it around Snuffle's neck the dog starts to run around and jump on Regulus trying to lick his cheek again, wiggling his tail viciously.

you look so squishyy!

[Loading...]

Thank you! I am unfortunately made of glass and metal so I dont believe I would feel squishy, but I am glad I look like it!

I was probably designed this way to look more welcoming to travelers, although I'm not sure who exactly designed me...

[prettyboykatsuki]

touch-starvation needs to be written with emphasis on the starving part. you are hungry to be touched. so hungry that even the very taste of it makes you nauseous. it has been long since anything has ever touched you, ever fed you - that your body has grown more used to that gnawing emptiness more than anything else. it's better for you to be held, to eat but it makes you sick to try. you know

Katniss is such an unreliable narrator. She says "Then something unexpected happens. At least, I don't expect it because I don't think of District 12 as a place that cares about me" girl you deliver strawberries to the Mayor, you hunt and trade for the district, when you fell at Prim being chosen someone caught you, when you went to Prim people parted for you, when you volunteered EVERYONE stopped. Idk how to tell you but I think you're a pillar of the community.

you don't need to write a dark deconstruction of Peter Pan where he's willing to kill people and his state of eternal childhood makes him morally ambiguous, JM Barrie already wrote one and it's called Peter Pan

"Right.." She tapped her lips in thought. She had a firm feeling that the little one inside her was a girl but it didn't hurt to think of a gender neutral name for the kid. "What do you think of Morgan or Vesper?"

"Hm... I prefer the first one over the second, personally..."

"What would you think of Ariel?" Well, maybe that one isn't gender neutral....

Sleepy King

The Justice League Dark caught wind of a cult trying to summon the Ghost King. A being with power so terrible and great, that all of the chaotic Infinite Realms feared him. A true tyrant. Long ago it took the effort of ghosts equal to gods to seal him away into a permeant slumber.

And now this cult wishes to wake him and bring him to the living realm. It was a race against the clock to find the ritual site and all members were called on board, magic or not. Even Constantine looked stressed.

They did find the site.

But it was too late, the ritual was completed. The entire inner circle of runes glowed before being swallowed in a column of green light. The air filled with static and a ringing that made Supergirl crumble to the ground.

The light dissipated, but there was no great figure or being of pure evil. Instead there was a boy, a teenager. He laid on the ground curled up in his sleep. He was a ghost no doubt, dressed in regal clothing.

Despite this when he stirred, everyone froze. It seemed the cold hard ground woke him up. He got up slowly and yawned, revealing his sharp fangs. Once sat up he opened his bleary eyes to look around. He looked confused and tired, really tired.

"Where am I?" He mumbled. "I was trying to get some sleep." Constantine internally screaming, latches onto that last sentence. He glances over to Batman. He caught that last part too. Batman approaches calmly and crouches down in front of the boy king. Hardening his resolve, Batman takes on a gentle tone.

"Hey kiddo, sorry we woke you. Lets get you back to bed yeah?" The boy nodded in agreement. He pulled himself to his feet before looking around in a circle. "Where did my blanket go?" He asked rather sadly. Batman is quick to shed his own cape and drape it over him. "You can borrow my cape until we get you a new one." He nodded again, pulling the black fabric around himself.

John quickly summoned a portal door, while Batman led the King through it. John threw looks around at everyone. Everyone could tell he was mouthing the words. 'Find me a fucking blanket now'

Running on the logic of getting the king away from Earth, away from graves and the undead, that could give him power. The portal led to the Watch Tower.

Batman took advantage of the King's bleary state to send a base wide alert for all noncritical members to evacuate immediately. With a priority that death adjacent members leave first. "The stars are pretty." Bruce looked at the boy staring out the window in wonder. He almost looked like a normal kid, almost.

"Yeah they are, it's pretty late so we should get you back to bed." He nodded, going along with Batman's gentle coaxing.

He takes the boy to an unused bedroom. Making sure the room isn't dusty and that lights are dimmed. He glances back to see about a dozen different leaguers all holding blankets, one thought to bring extra pillows. The bed was pretty barren with only a single pillow and a thin bedsheet. So Bruce took a thick duvet, one of the fluffier blankets and a second pillow from his team before shooing them away.

The boy ended up keeping his cape, mumbling how it was warm. He tucked the boy in, before quietly exiting the room and turning off the light. He was pretty sure the King fell back to sleep before he even reached the light switch.

After the door shut, he made direct eye contact with John. "Constantine." They needed to figure out what the hell was going on.

Bruce keeping a tighter and tighter lid on his identity around the Justice League because with each new person to reveal their identity he realizes that he has fucked far too high a percentage of his co workers as Bruce Wayne and he has to take this secret to his grave

One of the things I really appreciate about Dungeon Meshi is how the text is so clearly full of love for animals. Like the true kind of love Laios feels for the monster where he wants to know everything about them, but most of all he respects them and loves them as animals.

One of the chapters I can't stop thinking about is the one about Anne the Kelpie. It's kind of impressive how well it illustrates the different kind of love people have for animals. And how someone that loves an animal isn't necessarily an animal lover. If that makes sense.

When Senshi calls out Anne what he says is "Don't worry Anne's Harmless" but she isn't, she's a wild animal.

Marcille immediately reacts positively about it thinking it's cute she accepts the treat Senshi has for her. And hers and Chilchuck's reaction to Senshi wanting to cross the river on her back is more surprise while Laios immediately realizes how bad of an idea it is.

But Laios is the animal monster lover so how come when he finally is faced with a "docile" monster he doesn't react positively like the others? Marcille even calls him a monster. That's because Laios loves monsters, and Senshi loves Anne.

I've seen this attitude around me several times, where people love a specific animal but what they love is their idea of that animal, they don't really know them because they don't love the animal part of them.

It becomes a "this one is special because I love them" that can quickly become an issue for the animal as much as it is for the person. It's something unfortunate I see time and time again irl.

Anne wasn't wicked, Anne wasn't mean, Anne didn't trick him. Anne was a wild animal and Senshi loved her as Anne but not as a kelpie.

She acted on instinct, maybe she did love Senshi in the way kelpies can love, but animals are still animals and must be respected and treated as such. Climbing on top of Anne's back was the equivalent of putting your arm inside a alligator's mouth, the mouth is gonna close because that's what they're designed to do.

The real life equivalent I see the most of "I love this animal but I don't love the animal part of them" is with dogs. If you insist on loving an animal without acknowledging they ARE an animal they might hurt you, you might hurt them, it will only end in grief.

The best way you can love an animal is by understanding they're an animal.

That is all to say I don't mean that the love Senshi felt for Anne wasn't real or that it's all his fault. He couldn't have known with the information he had and unfortunately it came down to the worst outcome.

I just love dungeon meshi dearly.
