Secret Santa here again! How do you feel about supernatural fics? How about aus in general? Are there historical periods you DON'T want to see? Do you like canon divergence or would you prefer in-universe post canon?
I think I prefer more real-world AUs but I’m definitely open to supernatural (vampires and werewolves my beloved). Canon divergence/post canon/etc. is up to you. I really like AUs that loosely follow the path their relationship takes in canon. Like an arranged marriage AU that starts from convenience, feelings happen, heartbreak happens (then stalking and reconciliation…), etc.
Also don’t be afraid to get real dark with it, there’s just about nothing that’s too dead dove for me lol
I’m not particularly interested in regency AUs because they’re so overdone after Bridgerton, but I love love l o v e Victorian AUs. That’s my special interest subject, like Penny Dreadful style, I fucking love it. Dark and gritty and gothic is my JAM. Underground crime lord Kim taking care of some overseas business ventures in London (drug exports?) and meets Chay who was stranded with his brother when they were kids, parents came over for work, were claimed by consumption, leaving them orphaned. Doing whatever they can to survive. (Nvm I might actually have to write that myself, but you get my drift!)
Tbh I’m not super picky lol
The main thing I don’t like is either of them being like. Overly emotional? To a cartoonish degree? Crying all the time, falling all over each other to apologize and forgive and act like everything is okay without putting in the work for themselves and each other. They’re both very strong, stubborn characters, and I love seeing the way they push each other just as much as I love seeing them work together.
#cookie speaks#my biggest peeve in fandom#is fics where Kim cries literally all the time#again#we NEVER see him actually cry#we see him devastated#we see him looking like he can’t breathe#we don’t see him cry#Chay does cry but never without reason and never at the drop of a hat#he cries because he feels deeply and he doesn’t hold his emotions back (much)#but he’s not a naive kid#he knows the world hurts#he doesn’t cry because Kim doesn’t return his feelings#he cries because Kim spent weeks making him feel special and then makes him feel worthless because it was all a lie#a means to an end#Chay wasn’t a person to love he was a tool to use#that’s what breaks his heart

Have you heard of the show "Undercover Boss"? Where the CEOs of companies disguise themselves as entry level newbies to see what goes on under their noses?
I know the show itself is spiced up for TV drama, but I can definitely imagine this premise in a DPxDC scenario.
Picture Bruce Wayne (or Lucius Fox) disguised as a new hire within the aerospace division of Wayne Enterprises, with young mechanic Danny Fenton showing him around.
#dpxdc#danny fenton#batman#danny phantom#bruce wayne#I can't remember if Lucius or Bruce is the current CEO but I guess it works either way depending on who's busier that day#I just know that Tim wasn't actually the CEO but was instead the major shareholder#Danny in this would probably be between 18-20#so he too would be just getting his foot in the door#The other aerospace mechanics and engineers stuck this new old guy with the naive weird kid to keep them both out of the way#Meanwhile Bruce/Lucius are staring at this passionate young man regaling his worrying past#of accidental electrocution and escaping an “unsafe home environment”#Maybe he mentions having an older sister and a 4-6 year old daughter he escaped with#(that daughter being Ellie of course)#and Bruce/Lucius is just like •_•

So, is the risk of other kids getting taken and changelinged that anyone of the changelings getting exposed exposes fairy world to adults that can't be mindwiped and bing bang boom fairy war? Cause I'm not quite clear on how other changling/fairy kids put timmy at risk?
It's not that other fairy kids would put Timmy at risk, as it is that the children are at risk of severe harm should any part of the process fail!
Timmy knows firsthand how dangerous it is to become a Fairy. You could lose your mind, be sent back without time moving forward, or worse. Even then, assuming everything goes well with the child, something could go wrong with the changeling!!
Fairyworld already had a limit/ban on taking in anybody. Timmy just strengthened those laws for his own peace of mind.
Timmy believes he's no longer at risk, since he's survived a majority of the issues. However, it's simply not worth it for any other child. No matter how desperate their situation is, how much they love their fairy, or want to escape their life on Earth.
....Unless you're referring to the Antagonist!Timmy alt. Which is not canon to the main timeline. If you are, there's no answer to that. Timmy's just incredibly selfish in that one.
Bitties Series: [Start] > [Previous] > [Next]
#asks#404error-blognotfound#putting this into the main bitties line bcs its very good info !!#and ur not the first person to ask this :O !!!!#timmy's pressure to limit anybody else from becoming fairies isnt bcs they put him at risk#its bcs he really really cares about other children#and THEY shouldnt have to be put at risk!!!!!#theyre just kids!!!!! they have no idea what they want to sign up for.#not even timmy had any idea. he was just as naive.#itty bitties fop au

gojo 'i am a man too' satoru when you keep teasing him about how he's younger than you and makes it his life mission to prove it.
#scene is you kept calling him kid for some reason#but the age gap isn't even THAT much yk#and it just pisses him off#because you're seeing him as a naive innocent lil guy#when hes far Far from it#he has his needs too#something along the lines of kissing you dizzy and taking you raw (you didn't hear that from me)#and hes been in love with you for as long as he can remember#so now that he's a man himself#he gets bolder and bolder#and yet you can't take the goddamn hint#or maybe you do#maybe you're just pretending everything is platonic when it clearly isnt#for now though that's okay#just gives him all the more opportunity to show you how much he's matured#hehe coughs and giggles#𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬

Imagine a feanorian or a nolofinwean etc traveling back in time to the years of the trees-
And finwe, of all elves, clocks onto something being wrong before anyone else, bc he grew up in a time where it was killed or be killed and he wants to know why his grandkid(s) went from an elf who has never seen a day of strife in their life, to a hardened warrior with ptsd seemingly overnight.
#lord of the rings#silmarillion#lotr#the hobbit#lotr elves#finwe#feanor#sons of feanor#nolofinweans#finwe was a warrior before valinor ok?#he knows what it looks like when an elf has truama#and he wants to know why his grand kids#of all elves#have it seemingly overnight.#i know most of the time the -we’s are viewed as these passive sort of naive kings#but like they KNOW what it’s like not knowing if you’re gonna live through the day#you can’t tell me that the elves who undertook the journey wouldn’t immediately recognized the signs of a warrior with ptsd#like sure they don’t practise those skills as much anymore#and the elves born in valinor have no idea what it’s like#but those born in beriliand remember#maedhros#time traveling feanorians

You know how sometimes you think your parents’ friends are cool and you want to subtly impress them? That’s the Academy kids with Marc in the FCO AU to me. Sure some of them had listen to the Vale&Uccio nonsense from the second half of 2015 but 2016 and the time Marc spends at the ranch fixes that (and like, Marc is already a 4-times world champion, easily become a 5-times champion in 2016, of course they have to be a little starstruck by Marc).
And you know how sometimes in those years, we could the Academy kids coming to parc fermé to congratulate Valentino after he scored a podium? I’m thinking about them tentatively reaching for Marc as well, quick handshakes that might throw Marc off in the beginning before making him smile as he accepts them.
the thing is. if they never really had to sit in that rivalry for a long time and came into the paddock with a pre established love and familiarity wrt to marc i think MARC is the one being sweetgoofytouchy. think dovi era. cal crutchlow. scott redding throwing him over his shoulder. when marc doesn’t have his VALE SPECIFICCC hackles up he’s literally SO friendly off track. like on track yeah he’s a killer. career priority one. but if he had friends that didn’t sanction him for his (insane.) behavior i think he’s laughing yelling FULLY climbing the barriers in moto2 parc ferme to give 19yr old bezz a full body hug that makes bezz EXTREMELY sexually confused. actually the second bezz feels like he’s old enough to loop marc in on his ‘joking’ homoerotic little plays (a la what he does with pecco) vale pulls him aside to have a CONVERSATION
#like if he never had the calcification of the vale trauma and the academy kids don’t have that grudge informing him. i think orange GOOD !#maybe a lil naive but vale and uccio are both VERBALLY BAFFLED by pecco and bez’s ability to be friends and compete…#so i actually think if marc gets looped in on ‘family’ they’re all love… like sepang is SO informative for everyone it’s wild#motogp#callie speaks#asks#forced coming out au

Belobog was my fave main quest but a lot of it is so. Contradictory. It's like they had multiple groups doing different shit and none of them checked in with each other for consistency. And you see this so much in Gepard's profile.
So in the main quest, they made him unfailingly, unquestionably loyal to Cocolia. Gepard's character arc is him learning to question authority etc etc. And this isn't even a bad thing; that's a story worth telling! It makes good conflict between him and Serval! And I love that we got Gepard as a boss battle and I get to see him all the time in SU!
But then you look at his character stories and it's like. The complete opposite.
According to his profile, Gepard has already HAD this awakening, long before the Astral Express, and he'd already decided Cocolia sucks. Even outside of his stories, there's a pretty damning readable between him and Pela.
He even disobeyed direct orders right in front of her- he has been disobeying orders for a while now!
So I've decided I'm marrying the two different sides of this into a 1.5k fic-ish thingy, because I think there's some fun potential there with Gepard not trusting Cocolia, but still having to pretend to be a good obedient little soldier.
Anyway. I love to think of it as like. Gepard knows Cocolia has sunk into her apathy. He can see it in her eyes every time he looks at her. She doesn't care. Not about him, not about Pela, not about all his soldiers on the frontlines giving their lives to protect the citizens. And that's... It makes him bristle a bit, but ok. Gepard can deal with this. Even if Cocolia no longer cares, as long as she does her job then it's fine. Having compassion behind an action doesn't matter as much as the action itself. If Cocolia's heart is no longer swayed, then he'll just have to care twice as hard to pick up the slack. He considers it part of his duty as a captain of the guard anyway. It's fine. Gepard can deal with it.
And then, Cocolia starts coming down to the restricted zone. Issuing direct orders.
And Gepard realizes he is in way over his head.
Because Cocolia orders him to stay back and issue commands from the ramparts, away from all his comrades, away from where he can protect them.
Gepard had thought nothing could be as bad as watching a fellow guard die right next to him. But the first time he watches someone struck by a killing blow, so far away, it hurts. Every defensive scar across his arms itches, his fingers curl in want of a weapon, the cold cannot numb his hands enough as they desperately ache for his shield. It hurts.
Gepard tries to find any reason to stay. Because surely... He knows Cocolia has lost her love for her people, but surely... She wouldn't...
One day, Cocolia orders for their gunners to advance 20 yards. There are no survivors. She almost looks like she smiles.
Gepard doesn't sleep that night.
Pela brings him the report at the end of the first month; and then the month after that, and the month after that. A significant uptick in losses, and all of it started on that first day Cocolia started overriding his authority and issuing her own orders. The ends of Gepard's pens have all been nearly chewed off. Pela outright calls Cocolia an idiot, and Gepard corrects her. Cocolia isn't an idiot. Gepard had known her through Serval, knew her through all her college years and then some, and he knows how intelligent she is. It's not that she's stupid, and it's not that she's inexperienced, it's nothing of the sort.
Cocolia knows exactly what she's doing.
She must, there's no way she could make such a horrible mess of things so badly by accident. And Pela, quick as a whip, sharp as a tack, always too smart for her own good, catches onto the meaning behind Gepard's correction without any further prompting. The tent goes deathly quiet, nothing but the wind howling outside.
"...She's trying to kill us," Pela whispers, her voice swiftly suffocated by the silence.
Gepard swallows. He can't bring himself to correct her this time. There is nothing he could say that he would actually mean.
His gaze drops, back down to his desk and the reports on it. The names aren't listed, just the numbers, but Gepard knows them, knew them, and there must be something wrong, something he's missing, because why, why would she-? What could this possibly accomplish-?
“Gepard! Focus!” Something snaps right under his nose, and Gepard startles, eyes instantly honing in on Pela's irritated face as she leans over his desk. She holds his gaze for a moment before she huffs and begins to pace, wedges a knuckle between her teeth and bites like Gepard hasn't seen her do since cadet school.
Pela angrily strides from one end of his tent to the other, words hissed between her grit teeth. “What are we going to do?” In the dim lighting, Gepard can just barely see the damp spot of blood weeping under her gloves. “We need a plan.”
“A plan?”
“Wh- Yes, a plan! Unless you want more people to die!” Pela rounds on him then, all the wrath of a blizzard, winds roaring and snow sharp enough to cut.
“We don't even know-”
“What does it matter?! She killed-!!” Pela cuts off with a garbled noise when Gepard leaps up from his desk, hastily shoves his hand over her mouth. The prosthetic, not the flesh one, because he knows better than to assume Pela won't seize the opportunity to leave teeth marks in his skin.
“You're right. I'm sorry, I'm sorry; you're right. But you need to keep quiet.” Pela quirks an eyebrow at him and Gepard can read the question in her face. “Because we both saw what she did to Serval,” he hisses.
It's amazing the snow plains haven't thawed out yet, the amount of heat Pela can put behind a glare. The mere mention of Serval, and the smoking ruins Cocolia had made of her life and career, have her bristling up like a riled cat. The sudden hot breath she takes fans fog across his metal skin, and Gepard wisely keeps it in place until Pela finally sighs and reaches up, taps her fingertips against the back of his hand.
The second she's free, Pela bats him away and then her knuckle is right back between her teeth again, Gepard leaning back against his desk with his arms crossed to watch her resume her pacing. “If we spread the word, she'll have us discharged and make sure we can't even touch the frontlines,” Pela's voice seethes like an open sore. Gepard nods but keeps his silence. He knows better than to get in her way.
“And if you and I are both out of the picture, Belobog is fucked.” A little harsher than how he would have put it, but there's no denying that they're both important to the city's survival. Pela has the restricted zone running as efficiently as ever, and Gepard had become the youngest captain on record for a reason. “We need to keep this tight under wraps, at least for now… It can't leak to anyone higher up the chain.” Another nod. “Serval might know other discontents…” Another n-
Gepard's head snaps up. “No.”
“No what?”
“No. We're not involving Serval in this.”
Somehow, even the same tone that leaves entire squadrons shaking in their boots has never worked on her. “You're not deciding that for her, Gepard.”
Pela hadn't seen the worst of it, though, back when his sister had just been banned from the Architects. Serval's pride hadn't allowed it. Pela wasn't the one to find her passed out bottle still in hand, hadn't been the one to wash the sick out of her hair or carry her to bed.
Serval still has trouble thinking clearly when it comes to Cocolia, still can't quite bring herself to be objective. And Gepard maybe doesn't want her to be purely objective- but he would worry a lot less if she thought twice before she acted more often.
“At least let me be the one to bring it up to her.”
“Whatever, fine,” Pela gestures affirmatively at him as she paces past, and Gepard sighs. Good, at least that's one thing he can help.
From there, it's a lot of hemming and hawing and frustration. Cocolia has them under her boot, and Gepard and Pela both know it. Even with the way she's been cracking down on freedoms lately, Cocolia is still, overall, liked by the people. It's unlikely anyone would believe them. They don't even have solid proof, because most people don't know Cocolia as well as they do and won't see the clues in the same light.
The Fragmentum has been ramping up in recent years, too. Everyone is struggling just to survive as is, they can't afford a fight on two fronts. Gepard is a damn good captain, one of the best for that matter. But they're at a massive disadvantage, his experience is narrowed to fighting a defensive battle against monsters, that's all he's ever done. That's all anyone there has ever done. He has no way of finding first-hand knowledge for taking the offensive against a human opponent, and if he goes at this blind, there's no way he'll get everyone out unscathed. He's going to lose people. He's going to lose a lot of people.
He'd never thought before that Cocolia would have it in her to have someone killed. And with this new knowledge, he has no guarantee she won't go after Serval or Lynx if she decides to retaliate.
Gepard has to remind himself to breathe when he realizes this.
Pela writes down every name the two of them can come up with. Lists and lists of names and groups and anyone they can think of who might be an ally in all of this. They memorize every bit of it, make their plans of who to talk to and when. Gepard watches the sparks reflect off Pela's glasses as they burn the evidence together.
Pela finally leaves, far too late to make it home, but says she wants to stay in the restricted zone anyway to investigate. Gepard watches her make her way in the direction of Dunn's tent, watches her back until she's out of his sight and squashes down the urge to follow and keep an eye on her. His tent feels empty.
In the morning, Gepard is up before the wake up bells. He drags himself out of bed, leads his soldiers through their morning training. The same people gravitate to each other everyday. Friend groups and training partners. There's an ongoing rivalry between a few squadrons that everyone bets on. Some of them have lockets around their necks, keepsakes, mementos. Some of them wear wedding rings.
Gepard is suddenly, painfully aware of something acidic clawing at the inside of his throat, of a heavy weight low in his chest that blooms, takes up room until it threatens to spread his ribs. His mouth tastes of bile and blood.
He rearranges the schedules. Puts himself down for every open patrol into the Fragmentum, makes sure he'll be on the frontlines every single time Cocolia visits.
He only hopes that it's enough.
#honkai star rail#gepard landau#hsr gepard#pelageya sergeyevna#hsr pela#hsr#smacking Gepard out of Hoyo's hands and running off with him skzjmdkd#tentatively Figuring Out how to write these two... It feels a little tricky starting out with extreme circumstances like this haha#I feel like a lot of people see Gepard as naive for trusting Cocolia so much but I don't think that's quite it. He's not stupid.#He's not even naive.#He's someone who has been groomed since birth by his own parents to be an obedient Guard and nothing outside of that role.#You are not immune to propaganda etc etc#But even then there are a lot of things like all the included screenshots where he. Doesn't actually seem to like/trust Cocolia much.#I think Serval was a really good influence on him as a kid. He might have turned out much much worse without her.#and even with how I've written him here. I don't think he's normally slow to act or one to stand aside and make other people lead.#it's just that this specifically was a pretty extreme circumstance for him.#and also he openly states elsewhere that Pela is overbearing and he tries not to interfere with her work whenever possible nskzhdjdjd#Pela too. I don't know that I normally see her as someone with a bad temper or quick to anger.#But again; extreme circumstances haha#Bc like. they both would have seen what happened to Serval when she stood up to Cocolia. they know damn well what's going to happen to them.#if they fuck this up and get caught then they're done.#and I mean. What are they supposed to do? they're two people against the highest authority of the entire nation.#regardless I do love Gepard agonizing over this in the future after Bronya takes over and everything has settled down#did he do the right thing? did he make the right choice? if he went vigilante how many soldiers would have died without his protection?#would Belobog have fallen completely? how many people died because he DIDN'T run away? was it actually enough?#I love characters forced between a rock and a hard place. no good options. pick your poison.#no winning- only weighing what you can and cannot bear to lose.#make your choice and decide whether you want to rot or to burn.

I hate how season 20 has just like, ruined half of this fandom’s perception of Butters
Can’t go anywhere without people portraying him as this woman-hating ultra incel
YALL he’s a 10 year old kid who just got his heart broken. Obviously his response was extreme but to call him sexist for it is WILD
#also a lot of yall need to realize half of the shit Butters said is either influenced by Cartman or his parents#he’s said a lot of other bad things too but it’s clear he doesn’t know what he’s talking about most of the time#he’s a naive little kid of COURSE he’s gonna repeat the things he hears from the people he thinks he trusts the most#south park#butters stotch

i'm kinda struck by how vanozza and juan's dynamic is giving a clever conceited lioness and her furious cub (not saying this in an uwu way ofc but also like in the most flavorsome way possible). like i keep thinking about how juan doesn't want to get married which allows him to spend more time with vanozza in her house and she's been so fond of him and attentive to his humor...i'm also intrigued by how he becomes aggressively protective of her when her husband calls her 'dear', using violence to assert his father's primacy in his mother's life over the commoner, and likely to overcompensate for his powerlessness and mask his insecurity and fear of not actually being rodrigo's son. then he kisses her head and acknowledges vanozza's hardships as his mother who endured the romans' slanders. him going berserk when benito sforza taunts him about his mother not loving him much. and when he spirals after realizing that none of his beloved ones (especially his mother and sister) see that everything he did/does was to protect them, even if misguided, he spitefully hurts them back with his words and actions. and when he died she never even mourned his death...it's such a tragic mother-son dynamic that needs to be studied even more imo
#insane stuff likeeee#also when the family reunite while lucrezia was giving birth he immediately ran to his mom like a little kid to greet her :(((#as much as she liked him she didn't bring herself to care about him as much as she did cesare and lucrezia#i feel like because he didn't reach the borgia family's expectations?? because compared to his siblings he's just weak and naive#and not as cunning as his brother instead he's aggressively impulsive without even thinking through#the borgias#juan borgia#vanozza cattaneo#vanozza dei catanei#text post

There are a couple of lines in Psychonauts 2 that I think about quite a bit. I’m pretty sure these have already been done but if NOT, then. Uh. Spoilers for Psychonauts 2 I guess?
First off- one of Sam’s lines. There’s actually a lot about Sam that I think could have been put to better use—specifically a conversation about how psychic powers aren’t always controllable, giving parallels between Compton, Dogan, and Maligula and MAYBE Raz. But the line I SPECIFICALLY think about is a joke one.
“And if you use enough syrup, you can’t taste the difference between chicken and snake. Eggs is eggs!”
In Psychonauts, eggs are used as a metaphor for brains. Like, this isn’t some vague thing, it’s extremely front and center. Eggs and brains are directly linked. And, it should be noted, that Sam actually puts an entire nest—INCLUDING BIRD EGGS—in the, uh…. ‘Pancake mix’.
So, snakes and chickens and syrup, right? Chickens, generally used to describe someone who is cowardly or otherwise not the type to actually do anything, syrup being sweet enough to distract from other tastes, and snakes being, well, people who are not trustworthy.
And then there’s Nick Johnsmith, aka Gristol Malik, who is a well liked non psychic that Truman calls a lick spittle—someone who fawns over others easily. In other words, a snake (egg, brain) that acts sweet (and syrupy) enough to seem like a chicken (egg, brain).
Do you see. Do you SEE THE VISION HERE.
Anyways onto phrase 2. Said by Gristol Malik.
“He took a poor, sad, country girl and turned her into a mighty warrior. And I’m going to do it again.”
Now, usual context will say he means he’ll bring Maligula out of Lucy/Nona. I don’t think that’s incorrect, per se.
But one of the things that really, REALLY snapped Lucy/Maligula was the death of Marona, her sister.
And who do we have camping nearby? Why, it’s an entire family. In fact, it’s Raz’s entire family. And at LEAST half of them are psychics.
Gristol already views Raz as a puppet. He only kind of likes him because he’s half Grulovian. And, you know, during the Rhombus of Ruin, Loboto was no longer under Oleander’s employee, so… who wanted Raz’s brain removed? Someone who, oh I don’t know, might have heard about Raz being a powerful psychic that MIGHT have noticed Raz’s rather unique name… or, more specifically, the last name of a circus that performed for the Gzar and his family, famous for water acts. One that, by chance, someone could have known that a Galochio, a family of psychics, recently married into?
And you know, Maligula is older, it’s good to have back-ups, right? I mean, this is the same guy that ACTUALLY pulled one over on an entire spy group of mind readers.
But, hey, maybe it wasn’t a plan to turn Raz into Maligula by killing one or some or all of his family! Raz is kind of pissed right now, and might not snap the way Gristol would want him to. I’m pretty sure murdering, say, Mirtala, his baby sister, might not work in Gristol’s favor when Raz is already against him.
That said… he’s not the only psychic in the Aquato family. And in fact some of those family members aren’t the most on board with the whole… Psychics and Psychonauts business.
Specifically, we have a barely used plot thread including Frazie Aquato and her acceptance of her psychic powers!
I’m sure that, oh say, her little brother dying in the middle of him helping the Psychonauts pick up their messes, when he should have been able to be saved by one of his heroes since he was literally at their headquarters and surrounded by psychic adults, will only have good things happen to the Psychonauts. I’m SO sure that Frazie won’t get extremely pissed at these people her brother looked up to so much. She’ll definitely be understanding and absolutely won’t use what seems to be a family trait of extremely powerful psychic power along with the hydrokinesis in her bloodline. Specifically because she, an acrobat since birth and taught to ignore a lot of the usual fears most people have about safety and the instinct to flee, definitely has a great relationship with her fight or flight mode.
:))))
Anyways I have a lot of thoughts about Psychonauts 2 (I’m not saying I’d do a fix it of some things that bother me, but I do tend to do canon rewrites to smooth out wrinkles as a fun writing exercise/my version of hyperfixation on media and with the time gap between the games there is PLENTY of those in the plot, so uhhhhhhhh) but no one to bother them to, so uhhhhh yeah thanks for coming to my Ted talk.
#psychonauts#psychonauts 2#sam boole#razputin aquato#gristol malik#I have Many Thoughts on what I’d do to smooth between games specifically#or if I was to do my own adaption#I’m not saying the story is bad or anything! it has its flaws but it’s overall pretty good#there’d just a lot of things I’d personally move around#I think the biggest one would be Raz getting hazed#I Hated that scene#and I REALLY don’t like Norma#I’d probably adjust the adult psychonauts a little too#Hollis feels a bit strict against Raz when she seems so lenient to the other interns? idk how to describe it#like I’ve heard before. it made sense that the kids at whispering rock were a little mean but even then they weren’t really that against#Raz overall or anything#but in P2 so many characters just seem so MEAN to him#he just showed up! he literally did nothing but exactly what he was told to do. like. what else was he SUPPOSED to do for some of it?#I don’t even think it was THAT naive to believe that Truman was trusting him. Raz was the only one NOT in the psychonauts officially when#Truman was kidnapped. so like. logically he WAS the person who could be somewhat trusted as an outside source#oh but they thought he was the mole? how. LITERALLY how. even if his family had helped and it was a whole operation. H O W. THEY STILL#S T I L L. would have needed an inside man#ffs#anyways

so what i'm saying is like
#WICK'S END AU#WICK'S END#harry#oc#brain rot real#harry would be soooo feral against cutting his hair -- he'd put on a show like dogs do crying and yelling as if it hurts him#originally in my dream harry was on the older teen side but over the course of me drawing him i think he's gotten younger#it makes sense like ... he's supposed to be naive. a kid sells that idea more.

Heres a poorly drawn comic about Hat Kid questioning The Prince's personality compared to Snatchers and how they aren't technically that different from eachother when it comes to "evilness"
(Also featuring a human MJ cameo for no particular reason)
In other words:
Peckneck literally becomes innocent in front of kids and his gf only to turn around and sue someone for looking at him funny
You can be a menace to society and still be oblivious and slightly naive when it comes to toxic relationships
Rose tinted glasses and all that
You can also be a menace to society and still be polite when the situation calls for it
Being nice to kids and stuff isn't that hard
Basically I'm trying to make him a mixture of most Prince portrayals in the fandom and a slight menace to society that carries Snatchers snark and chaotic behavior-
#a hat in time#ahit#ahit the prince#ahit snatcher#ahit hat kid#Just the TINIEST bit evil#Human Mj makes a cameo because I said so#Peckneck literally masks in front of the people he likes-#And then decides to throw a moldy orange at his tutor#He can be a bit evil#As a treat#He was always just a LITTLE bit sadistic#He only really embraced it after dying tho#Hat Kid has no idea that he was a menace#Boy is she in for a rude awakening#>:3#Also for future reference he can only really be a menace when the situation is under control#If something is happening that causes him to P A N I C or get super anxious#That confident smug chaotic persona will crumble#So like say he gets yeeted to the future and nothing is recognizable#Thats panic mode because he has no idea what could happen if he screwed up#He can only be a menace if he has control of the situation#That plus the fact that he is still decently naive make for an incredibly emotionally unstable individual if something goes wrong#Which they do#So if ever lacks the “menace” trait in future fics and stuff#Just know it's most likely because something bad is happening

Never thought I’d be feeling this defensive over Buddy Dawn but here we are
#For the most part people seem sad that he died even if they don’t like him#but I honestly don’t understand why people dislike him so much when he’s literally so similar to a younger version of Kristen#I’ve seen some say he’s had ‘evil’ or bigoted moments but I honestly don’t even know what they’re talking about#I’ve only ever read buddy as a misguided but well intentioned and extremely sheltered kid who’s also probably an unwitting pawn#I’ve only ever felt pity and fondness and hope for buddy that he’ll see the more harmful parts of helioic practice and denounce them#I don’t even care if he stays a cleric of helio as long as he doesn’t agree with their more directly harmful beliefs and practices#and I really hope he still gets the chance to combat all of that whether it’s as a cleric of helio or any other god or no god at all#he was just a kid and he still had so much to learn and experience and now he might never get the chance#all because he was a little too sheltered and a little too naive#I’m not ok you guys#like fuck all the other rat grinders he’s the only one who I want to have a redemption arc#and now he’s fucking dead#😢#buddy dawn#fantasy high

#dee s 9#garashir adoption au#hes pickin her up from her shuttle home from school abroad on the new cardassian metro...#ISKRA IS SUCH A DADDYS GIRL. LITTLE PRINCESS!!!#cmon how could you not want to give her anything she asks for? shes the PRINCESS#she loves reading and arguing and memorization and recitation and following just enough of the rules to skirt getting into trouble..#but still naive and young enough to be gently led in the direction garak wants#shes garaks silly rabbit!!#she doesnt get on nearly as well with julian. who gets a little more proscriptive as he gets older and has Thoughts about her life#she will argue back. the rest of the kids will say “ok dadek” and quietly do their own thing

Call me jaded bitter and black but I’ll never care about the nuances of the police fill in on tv. Like we already have to deal with the ‘my dad is a cop :(‘ or ‘my broke brother joined the military’ irl why the fuck am I wasting my brain power on Caitlyn or vi. Like we know materialistically the authority of being a cop can get u what u want faster and that emotionally u either need strict routine with an outlet for ur violence or ur so used to it that u have to be a cop. I still fucking hate u tho like idc about how sad u are about being privileged and I said cop fill in but it’s really every kind of that character on tv like Zuko esque sorry I genuinely have less empathy for you than I do for other people idc
#vis a bit eh#but sorry idgaf about Caitlyn on principal of her being an enforcer#vi can be gay w/ anybody else#do I hate how silco is woobified as a skinny white man especially in comparison to sevika#who arguably has Better morals - if better is defined by not directly doing the MOST heinous shit?#yeah#do I hate how yt ppl are yt ppling for Caitvi and jinx in order to call them revolutionaries or what zaun needs like ekkos not right there?#like his obstacles haven’t been THEM the whole time?#them as in the systems they work to maintain now?#YES#idk shit about season 2 this ain’t about that#if I’m wrong whoops#but yeah I hate that ekko got so little screen time but what little we see of him is taken and jammed into the other characters by fandom#jinx is not a communist bro she’s a white girl who’s mad and gets to break shit for a cause peddled to her by a white man who’s only issue#is his own position in life and fuck everyone else unless it’s to keep them in line and loyal#does she have the potential?#eh. whatever idc#but the whole she carried zaun on her back thing? mm#and it’s not even explored in a humans thirsting for revenge and violence and power fantasies in their idols as opposed to the tangible#change they could make at ground level#ie the idolization of jinx’s act of violence that stemmed from her own feelings of hurt towards her own personal situation which just so#happened to be tangled with the council#vs ppl saying the firelights stopping shimmer production does nothing or their own base is bad bc not everyone is invited. also double#standards. racially charged but we knew that#but yeah not it’s not even explored in that way it’s just genuine ‘the ppl love jinx bc she’s a hero!’ and ignoring ekko and his cause#entirely. do I think this worship could be the shove to rock bottom thatll eventually nudge her in the right direction? maybe idc#but it’s weird that nobody sees this as like weird. like ekkos about that action and has the principals to back it up#like he’s standing on business and jinx is waving a gun around to prove she’s not a naive weak kid anymore and that’s it
