#but they’re all there

[tachiharastanacc]

I’ve briefly mentioned this idea before, but Tachihara making the choice to stay with the mafia for his last month. He’s super proud because he made the decision to live for himself on his own. And he makes a list of places he wants to go (the spot his brother died, Disneyland Tokyo) and that black lizard crew goes on a lil trip and buys him all the pencils and silly souvenirs he wants. But they all kinda look a bit guilty.

He writes it off as them coping with the fact that he’s going to die, and tries to cheer them up. Because he’s actually having the best time of his life, spending time with the people who care about him. And they promise they have one last surprise spot to take him.

It’s about day 26/28 now, and he doesn’t care, as long as they’ll be by his side.

You may see where this is going.

Because they pull up to a park and nobody is nearby (it’s closed to the public by the police, but they’re the mafia so they get a pass).

Except when they arrive, they’re greeted by the other hunting dogs (who share the same guilty faces) and a couple members of the government.

And his face falls immediately because he catches on and tries to run. And he’s fast, but Rashoman is faster.

He doesn’t remember much of the fight, but sitting back at the base, surrounded by the trinkets from the trip, he’s overwhelmed by the words he remembers shouting at his closest friends, his family. “I hate you.”

And he doesn’t know if he’ll ever be able to see them again.

Since I love crossovers I sometimes like to imagine Craig from Sanjay and Craig meeting all the other cartoon snakes and it’s like

Fu-xi: What kind of a serpent are you?

Craig: What kind?

Ushari: Do you have deadly venom?

Craig: Not really

Kaa: Hypnotizing eyes?

Craig: No

Viper: Can you do kung-fu?

Craig: No

Sir Hiss: Are you beaten?

Craig: No!

Ushari and Sir Pentious: Killed?

Craig: No!

Maddie: Treated as a prop?

Craig: No! Are you guys okay?! Should I call the police?

Jormungandr: Then I have to assume you were thrown into the sea because a prophesy told everyone you were fated to destroy the world

Craig: No! Good lord! Who would do that?!

Ajar: Do you have a true love?

Craig: Pffft, I wish!

Viper: Did you have daddy issues?

Craig: I don’t even remember my birth mom

Everyone else (except Viper and possobly Jormungandr) Neither do we! :D

Fu-xi: And now for the million dollar question: Do two-leggers misjudge or mistreat you based on your species?

Craig, thinking of Noodman: …YEAH, DUDE! What’s up with that?

Everyone: He is one of us!

White people are miserable, racist losers period. They’ve even been getting mad at Japanese people for correcting them about Yasuke as well.

Personally I think that Telemachus permanently and irreversibly changed Athena for the better, more on that at twelve

emily gwen, the creator of the sunset lesbian flag that we’ve come to commonly use, still continues to live in poverty.

multi-billion dollar companies have used their design and made profit from it, and yet they have not seen a cent for their creation.

i’ve been friends with emily for years, and i have not once seen them be financially stable the entire time. i’ve seen them homeless, unemployed, starving. right now, they need our help more than ever.

please consider donating to emily’s ko-fi, especially if you’ve used their design to create something and profited from it.

I think it’d be funny if Dick and Jason, due to wearing bright yellow capes on the job for years, are capable of stealth to a frankly unhinged degree. They barely have to try anymore it’s so second nature. Dick can just completely disappear while in the loudest neon clothes imaginable. Jason is constantly startling people who don’t understand how they missed a guy the size of a fridge standing right there. Bruce is extremely grateful for his unbreakable poker face because they have both startled him by accident and would never ever let him live it down if they knew.

Nicky was always meant to be stillborn. He was never supposed to live after birth, but Rio gave Agatha more time with him, and in turn he got more time with Agatha.

Whether it was implied or not, he was always the son of Death. He was always supposed to go home to his other mother. When Death finally beckoned him home that night, Rio wouldn’t allow him to join her until he kissed Agatha’s cheek. And he knew, instantaneously, to kiss Agatha not once, but twice.

Once from him, and once from Rio.

Though he was always meant to join Death at her side, Rio gave Agatha the chance to be his mother, too, and now I am a mess about it and will be thinking about this for a long time.

11/4 edit: Wow, y'all have completely overwhelmed me with your love for this little meta, so as thanks, I turned it into a bit of fic we can all cry together about.

Read "Once (Twice) from Nicky" on AO3.

11/19 edit: So I have Agathario brain rot now (ty Jac Schaeffer) and couldn’t help starting a longer form fic because this family just makes me a mess. So, in light of this, I am selfishly adding the link to this fic below so we can all be messes together.

Read “Five Stages (in Grief’s Embrace)” on AO3.

I sometimes wonder if Two-Face ever drops his coins when flipping it, sure he isn’t infallible especially with a effed up left side face. I bet when it does the batfamily helps him and treats him with patience after all that’s their father’s former bestfriend

Two-Face: Nightwing, your fate shall be decided by my coi— ah shit I dropped it.

Red Hood: for fucks sake, get on with it already!

Tied up Nightwing: …

Robin: it rolled over there *points at the couch*

Two-Face: *bending down and struggling to reach underneath the couch*

Red Robin: here let me help you harvey

Robin: here I found it *gives a cent*

Two-Face: No! That’s just a regular cent mine was customized I had to pay hundreds of dollars for it to have skulls and—

Red Robin: wait is it one of those coins from youtube that has like cool art that has secrets you can do like press small buttons and open up a compartment?

Spoiler: that’s awesome, does yours do that? then I’ll help look for it

Two-Face: No—

Red Hood: you got scammed dude

When Mabel comes out to Stan, she’s really scared that he’s going to reject her and have an issue with it, so she’s emotional and asks him if he still loves and supports her and he’s just like “??? Kid I’ve been telling you all summer I’m one of the LBTGs” and then it’s her turn to be like “wait what??” because she thinks he had never mentioned a sexuality before, and it turns out Stan had been constantly telling the kids that he’s “ambidextrous” because he thought it meant the same thing as bisexual.

The funniest thing Stranger Things could do is reveal that Steve’s parents are like, really liberal. They donate to AIDs research. They were arrested protesting the Vietnam War. They campaigned for Mondale. Steve tells them that Nancy broke up with him and they’re like, “Thank god, that family believes in Reaganomics.”

fellas is it gay for your fight scene to be a metaphor for sex

The final TF2 issue really got to me. Spoilers, but it’s the reveal that all of this suffering and murder and war over gravel and shitty land was for nothing but senseless, bottomless hatred. That the administrator can’t even remember where this revenge plot started as she flashes through different false memories of her parents’ deaths. There was never a tragic backstory or justification, only terrible people doing despicable things. And despite how crass and stupid and unserious TF2 is, the story subverts every expectation by showing the survivors and inheritors willingly breaking the cycle. Ms. Pauling lies to the administrator and chooses not to save her, and finally lets her die. (Hurts even more if you read into the subtext that Ms. Pauling is in love with the administrator.) She lets the final cache of Australium go and walks away from the burden and legacy of a century-old bloodfeud. Hale lets Gray’s daughter go and live her life freely. Spy is the first to arrive at Scout’s house and meet his big family, finally takes off his mask, and helps with the kids. Even Merasmus exhaustedly makes peace with himself and Soldier and chooses not to curse him or something. There’s nothing to finish, no promises to keep, and no one to avenge. The only thing to do is break the cycle and walk away.

It feels odd how happy and warm everything is, but it feels so right and earned. These bloodthirsty, awful, violent men were expendable cogs in a machine of endless violence, and they found a way out. It’s a genuinely great message about letting go the past that burdens you and finding the will and a way to hit the bricks, change, and be happy. Maybe they don’t technically deserve happiness, but they’ve got it nonetheless, and they’re not gonna let it go to waste. They’re still all crazy and violent, but on their own terms now and with people who love them! Smiles.
