SSR Ruggie Bucchi - Platinum Jacket Vignette

"Happy 100th Anniversary"

[Land of Dawning – National Museum of Art]

Ruggie: Can't believe I'm here bein' a supporter for some museum like this. Guess ya never know what life's got in store for ya.

Ruggie: I mean, I totally wouldn't've ever paid to see paintings that I can't even fill my belly with…

Ruggie: But I guess it's okay if I don't gotta pay. I wonder if they got paintings I've seen in my textbooks.

???: This painting… These are the hyenas from the King of Beast's legends. When the three of them are lined up like this it's kind of intimidating…

Ruggie: Well, yeah, they were out there patrollin' lava quarries 'n goin' out on scoutin' missions, so.

Trey: You sure know your stuff, Ruggie. I guess that would make sense for a hyena beastman to know.

Trey: But still… Both patrolling and scouting seems like painstaking work.

Ruggie: Oh, yeah. From the stories I've heard, they had some pretty tight scrapes…

Ruggie: Like there's one where while they were out chasin' some stubborn foe, they ended up runnin' off a cliff tryin' to catch 'em…

Ruggie: Which had 'em endin' up flyin' into some real prickly thickets.

Trey: If it were me, I'd probably hesitate, worried about getting hurt. Guess the hyenas who worked under the King of Beasts were just that brave.

Ruggie: Brave? Then I guess I'll take that compliment, too. 'Cause I've jumped into thorny thickets like that a buncha times!

Trey: You've jumped into the thorny thickets…? A bunch of times!? Why would you do that…?

Ruggie: Actually, did you know? In the Sunset Savanna, there's this real steep cliff that's become a bit of a tourist attraction.

Ruggie: It's the perfect place to catch the settin' sun, so a ton of tourists go up there to snap a pic, leanin' over the fences 'n everything.

Ruggie: And like, sometimes there's folk that'll get so focused on settin' up the shot, or that'll bump into others that they'll drop and lose stuff.

Trey: I'd expect they'd have to let their stuff go if they dropped it off the cliff… But how does this all tie into you talking about the thorny thickets??

Ruggie: Sheeheehee. So actually, at the bottom of that cliff, there's a huge bramble of thorny thickets.

Ruggie: It's off-limits, and it's pretty dangerous, so no one really heads down there.

Ruggie: So, that's why I'd sneak down in the dead of night, and pick up all the lost items!

Ruggie: Sometimes I'd find little wrapped pieces of candy, watches 'n accessories, and even wallets!

Ruggie: Well, it kinda depended week to week what dropped, but… That was a great way to make some quick cash.

Trey: B-But if you had gotten injured, would all that have been worth it?

Ruggie: Yeah, true. Back when I was just a kid, I could slip in 'n out pretty easily, but I had to stop when I started getting' bigger.

Ruggie: Not only was I makin' big bucks, but the cliff's environment was getting' kept clean. Felt like a win-win deal to me.

[Land of Dawning – National Museum of Art]

Ruggie: Oh, this one… It's a painting of the thunder god and his son.

Trey: Yeah, according to the legends, he came to the human world just after being born, and was raised by adoptive parents.

Ruggie: Basically, that means he was raised apart from his actual dad, right? Amazin' they actually look like they get along good.

Trey: Haha… I wonder. Do you get along with your dad, Ruggie?

Ruggie: Nah, I don't got one.

Ruggie: He left back when I was a kid, so I don't remember anythin' about him, 'n I don't know what he's up to now.

Trey: Oh… Is that so? Sorry, I didn't mean to overstep my bounds.

Ruggie: Huh, that reaction's pretty different than what I'm used to.

Ruggie: Back home, there's a ton of kids just like me, so usually they'd just shrug and go, "Oh, okay" and move on.

Trey: And I guess it doesn't sound like they're saying that just to be considerate.

Ruggie: Obviously. Because the bigger problem is not havin' the money to buy food!

Ruggie: Granny'd take care of me, but there wasn't much we could do 'bout our empty bellies…

Ruggie: When I was big enough, I'd start working together with all the kids in my little neighborhood to scrounge up some food.

Trey: Kids running around trying to gather food on their own… That's hard for me to imagine.

Ruggie: There's a buncha ways to gather up food. We'd go into town and ask for alms, or drop a line in the river.

Ruggie: We were always pretty hungry, so we'd pretty much do anything… Oh, like we had a great time once digging for potatoes.

Trey: Is digging up potatoes that exciting?

Ruggie: WELL, YEAH!

Ruggie: There's actually a type of potato that grows in my country that can get as large as 20 kilos…

Ruggie: Around the time the potato harvestin' was finishin' up, we all snuck into the fields at night…

Ruggie: And we'd pick up some stunted potatoes that were left behind, as well as dug up some other forgotten potatoes.

Ruggie: We were all up in arms to pick every single one before the sun rose!

Trey: Why'd you go at mid… Never mind, I'm not going to ask.

Ruggie: And then, this one year when I was diggin', I hit the jackpot!

Ruggie: It was a potato so huge I wouldn't've even been able to carry it with both arms! It had't've been heavier than 20 kilos～

Ruggie: Didn't think there'd be any potatoes left that huge… Maan, I really lucked out then.

Trey: 20 kilograms, huh… With something that big, I don't think there'd be much to worry about eating for a while.

Ruggie: Don'tcha think?

Ruggie: I was thinkin', like, we could dry whatever was leftover and turn it to powder to make it last a bit longer…

Ruggie: But then Granny ended up boilin' 'em, fryin' 'em, and basically makin' a ton of dishes. It was a potato party extravaganza!

Ruggie: Me and the other street kiddos were just packin' 'em away, and little by little it started to disappear…

Ruggie: In the end, I couldn't make anything to save it for later.

Trey: Ah… That's rough.

Ruggie: And I never saw a potato that huge ever again. Guess good luck like that only ever hits once in a while.

[Land of Dawning – National Museum of Art]

Trey: Woah… This painting has a real powerful presence.

Ruggie: So, this is a painting of when the Thorn Fairy transformed into a dragon to fight, huh.

Trey: She looks way stronger than what her stories say. I bet I would be no match for her.

Ruggie: Eh!? Trey-san, you lookin' to pick a fight with the Thorn Fairy? It'd be waaay better to try 'n flatter her instead

Trey: Oho, but that might be the scarier route, don't you think? You might end up in deep trouble if you were to offend the Thorn Fairy instead.

Ruggie: Sheeheehee. Oh, but I'm pretty good with that kinda stuff.

Trey: Haha, well, I guess I have to admire that pluck.

Ruggie: But man, she's really something. She's the one that caused all that lightning too, right?

Ruggie: They say it was always thunderin' and lightnin' outside her castle as a way to keep intruders out… That's a huge undertakin', huh.

Ruggie: But with all those lightning strikes, I bet the bread prices were super cheap near the Thorn Fairy's castle.

Trey: Bread? …Ohh, right! Because when lightning strikes, certain particles are released in the air that helps plants grow.

Ruggie: Huh? Wait, are ya sayin' there's actually a whole science behind the whole "bread gets cheaper whenever it thunders"!?

Trey: Oh, isn't that what you meant?

Ruggie: I was just sayin' what Granny would always say…

Ruggie: Wait, so does that sayin' mean that 'cause more wheat gets harvested, more bread can get made, and that's why it's cheaper?

Trey: Yeah. Although, with how much we've developed our fertilizers nowadays, I don't know how much lightning strikes actually play a part anymore.

Ruggie: Cooool, I had no idea. Guess you Science Club folk know your stuff.

Ruggie: I bet Granny didn't really know the meanin' behind it like you did…

Ruggie: But I bet she saw with her own eyes the change in bread prices whenever there were tons of thunder and lightning.

Ruggie: But still… Kinda weird, huh. Sheeheehee.

Trey: Weird? What is?

Ruggie: Back when I was a kid, I only ever cared 'bout food, so there's no way I woulda been interested in learnin' why the bread was cheaper.

Ruggie: But now, I heard your whole spiel, and my reaction was to think it was pretty cool. Guess I'm maturin'.

Trey: Well… Maybe it's just that you can actually afford to take the time to listen now?

Ruggie: Maybe, maybe not. 'Cause my wallet's still pretty empty…

Ruggie: Oh hey, maybe this is just me bein' able to relax my stresses away, huh!? …Maybe not, heh.

Trey: Could be, if you're enjoying your time here, at least. Oops… Look at the time.

Trey: I think I'll head out to go check on how my dormmates are doing. See you, Ruggie.

Ruggie: 'Kaay, see ya. I'm gonna keep lookin' around this area a bit longer.

Ruggie: Hm? This painting… A lion cub's just lollygaggin' with a warthog 'n a meerkat.

Ruggie: I'm wonderin' if they even know all the scary things that can happen to animals that step outta their territory, hm?

I did not realize this got so long, so rambly word vomit under the cut

I do think more attention should be paid to the absolute horror Jason must have felt after coming out of the Lazarus pit like a foot taller and built like a damn fridge.

Like he died at 15, tiny, still small due to malnutrition and then the leading theory is that the Lazarus pit cures that and beefed him up. For one, that's gotta mess with his motor control a ton, especially when you consider that normal growth spurts cause a period of clumsiness (think jarring steps, toe stubbing, knocking your elbow on doorknobs or whatever), so a total body overhaul -Lazarus Edition™ - might be enough to keep him from even walking properly, let alone fight skillfully and gracefully.

Even if you say he got his coordination back from training or comic book science meant the pits didn't fuck that up, being small was probably a major part of his identity. Consider Jason before Bruce. He was tiny, but still resourceful and strong enough to jack tires. But being tiny was useful. Being tiny meant more hiding spaces were available. It meant he was unassuming. It meant people's eyes skipped over him. It meant avoiding attention. It meant safety.

And sure, Jason probably complained about being small when he was Robin. Probably even dreamed of being big as a street kid because being big meant having power, but being big on the streets meant being noticed and he knew that. It was something to dream about when he was older but not what he needed then.

I've also seen people headcanon that Jason is claustrophobic from the coffin, and I kinda vibe with that, and being bigger also screws with that because things feel so much bigger when you're small. If you think about it, elevators and the like probably felt a lot more spacious when you were a kid. So not only has his body been drastically changed without his consent (and I haven't really touched on that here, but also consider how it has to affect Jason Todd (who champions consent and autonomy and personal safety of the little guy) to have experienced nonconsensual body modification first hand like that) but it can actively cause him more mental distress.

And I think, coming out of the pit, the memory of his death still fresh in his mind, and stuck in the League of Assassins, maybe being small would have been comforting. He could still access all the same hiding places he would immediately clock. And while the image of a big man hiding somewhere clearly too small for him might be funny, it's also heart wrenching because he's lost so many safe places in a single moment.

Of course when Jason does go back to Gotham he's learned to use his new body and the fact that it makes him intimidating as hell, but I think there's another negative there as well. Because as Robin he comforted people. No Robin is ever soft but they are all almost definitely better at comforting victims than Batman (maybe not Damian, but he's a baby which is simultaneously more and less comforting) and a big part of that is because they're kids. Kids just aren't as intimidating as giant ass adults and I can imagine that this probably messed with Jason when he first got back to Gotham and tried to talk to the street kids or the working girls because those are groups of people who are going to be suspicious of men built like a goddamn fridge. He can't come up to them like he did as Robin, and I'm sure over time he's won their trust and they find him a symbol of safety, but the first few interactions have to hit hard because it feels like he doesn't belong in a place that's been his first home. That somehow he no longer fits right where he always did before.

I also can't imagine how disconcerting it must be to not recognize your reflection for like every part of yourself. Like, this one time I had makeup done for an event (not my idea) and it was so heavy that I didn't recognize myself and I felt so uncomfortable with that and that was just my face. My hair, my height, my build - all of that was still familiar, comfortable, but can you imagine being unable to recognize even that? And if he avoids mirrors to avoid seeing his reflection, he might not even be able to recognize himself in pictures and videos. (There's a fanfic with this idea and it definitely inspires this post because I honestly never considered this before and I thought it was so well written and such a good point that we don't pay enough attention to. You should totally check it out if you got this far.)

The last point I have for this post has to do with his relationship with Bruce. So typical timeline (I think) for Jason is he dies at 15, crawls out of his grave about 6 months later, is catatonic for 3 years, and then spends a year mentally present training with the League of Assassins on his world tour or whatever. I am fuzzy on the details here but basically from his birthday, Jason can't be older than 19-20 when he comes back to Gotham (I think 19 is the accepted age) but mentally he's 16 and for some fucking reason DC artists like to draw him like he's over 30. THIS IS A PROBLEM! Like this is an extremely fucked up 16 year old kid that should be trapped in a 19 year old's body but instead it's so much worse because (and I've seen someone describe him like this before) he's actually trapped inside the body of a 35 year old divorcee AND THAT IS NOT OKAY! Like even if we're gonna say that the Lazarus pit alters the body to peak physical health that would be like 22 or some shit. Past 30 is not a physical prime. You can be fit for sure at 30 but that doesn't change the fact that your ability to build muscle and heal and whatever else are probably better in your early to mid 20s and hey guess what that's still younger than Dick's accepted age (or maybe about the same (I have stayed up too late writing this to keep proper track of numbers)). But Jason looks older than Dick more often than not (the Gotham Knights game will never be forgiven for whatever the fuck happened to Jay's character design).

Okay sorry for the sidetrack, but Jason looking older is gonna fuck with Bruce because Bruce is gonna have a real hard time seeing his tiny, malnourished, never gonna top 5'4 Jaylad in this giant hulk of a figure, especially when the age is so off. Like imagine you have a kid who goes to college and does a ton of internships or research so you don't really see them for 4 years, you're still gonna expect your kid to look like they're 22-23. If they look like they're 35 you sure as hell are not gonna pinpoint that as your kid. So Bruce sees Jason and it makes sense that he doesn't think that's his kid BECAUSE THAT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE HIS KID! (I'm ignoring the moral differences in this post) So Bruce doesn't see a kid when he looks at Jason but Jason is mentally 16 and, despite everything he says to the contrary, he sees his dad when he looks at Bruce. Jason doesn't see an equal, someone who is just another adult. This is his dad, an authority figure in his life, someone whos opinions and words hold power over him whether he wants them to or not. But Bruce can't see that. Because Bruce doesn't see a kid. He doesn't see his son. He sees an equal and that's tragic because you're always supposed to be your parents' baby. Even when you're 50 with your own family and nearly adult kids, you're still gonna be your parents little baby. Because parents see their kids at all the ages they've ever been and it's the fact that Jason doesn't have someone who looks at him and sees him how he was when he was 2 and 7 and 10 and 13 and 15 when he still feels 16 that makes this so sad. Because no one's been his parent for long enough to really build that and Bruce can't see Robin!Jason in the Jason that came back.

Wow, uh, I'm really sorry to anyone who reads this. This really got away from me and it's super unorganized and I just kinda word vomitted all over this. This was just supposed to be about how his body was different. How did Bruce end up in this?

Whats ur take on wambus.... I need more

..I don't have a lot of takes, but wambus I love him so much. A lot of never ask me for my takes on here../silly

WARNING : AXEL FUCKING RANTS A TON

I hate how hes mainly seen as this evil angry guy or just grumpy (mad yk) and its like..Yuck..A lot of people just would rather only view triffany as this saint and wambus is this evil bad guy. Sure hes mad lookin but like..Thats like saying filbo is dumb when he isn't, sure hes an sweet hyperactive guy thats prone to accidents but he isn't dumb. Thats an grown fucking man y'all.

I loved how he missed triffany so fucking much, he made an cactus literally look like her and as well as would basically (even from the one or two moments we seen it in gameplay) tell cactriffy about his day. And Y'ALL. Cactriffy is literally just cactus + triffy,, which is the nickname he gave to triffany!! And at best, you can just see how much he loves triffany from that and so much more.

Triffany work requires her to be away a lot, which is understandable but her and wambus literally had an farm together and wambuses whole issue was property and money. Farms are extremely hard to take care of, especially even with just two people. Wambus is an stubborn guy, and he loves his wife. He probably took care of that farm all by himself while triffany was away. I understand if y'all don't understand how farm and ranches are, but they're just..So hard to take care of. Especially with how utilities and so much more costs.

(this is coming from someone who just knows someone an good few ppl who like..literally grew up on an farm 60/40% of their lives this just me blabberin about that yk so my bad if I don't get the whole picture right. But like..Farms/ranches are so HARD to take care of unless you know what to do and such!! Like farms cost around 600 - 10000+)

So just imagine with how that feels, especially with how we know wambus is so okay with triffany going off on her own dreams while he was kinda struggling with his. He started an farm on the island because it was "more cheaper on mainland" and hes right, even if everyone was kinda shitting on him about it. But thats like his dream, and so much more. I like to even think wambus came from an huge or generational line of farmers, ranchers, just country-side work basically. Which would also make so much more sense in an way to understand how Wambus would understand heavily and support his wife on her journey and job of being an archeologist while also trying to find out what happend to her mom. Im not gonna shit on triffany either, but like. You gotta understand how wambus feels, he probably (and I think he did!! Pretty sure he did) lost the farm. And like I said, I like to think the farm was an family farm that was past down onto him. And he lost it.

I know triffany would try to console her husband, but she also now had to be this bread winner because of wambus losing this huge money maker but then just also caving underneath it due to all these taxes and so much more, that the list is just too much. Plus they're both workaholics so she probably never stayed long to console him or help him, only when she had to stay in an way she would or try to.

"Hes such an violent and angry guy! Triffany should leave him, hes so mean and-" Are we talking about the same guy? Cause NO WE ARE NOT?? He most likely has emotional dysregulation which is caused by stress!! And he just WENT through an stressful time period of his life!! (Stole this hc from an lovely bro ham of mine -> @loched-off 💪😼)

Also fear of failure. That can and is implied to be most reasons WHYYY he lashes out and hes always regretful of his actions by the way. Like when filbo got launched by an bunger due to his causing by throwing sauce at him,, and he was literally so regretful of it. Even asked the journalist to PLEASE check up on poor filbo.

Not to mention, probably due to his failure fears present and past, is kinda why people can see how triffany and wambus dynamic is 50/50 of great and needs some work.

But even then, triffany doesn't mean it. Shes looking out for wambus best interests, especially with how she knows wambus hates failure and hates failing so badly. Especially with how.hes gonna lash out, and view it as anything more than bugsnax not growing. He just lost his farm, something he worked so hard on. And now hes losing his little thesis of bugsnax growing..

And he did. He was so heart broken, and his voice you can just TELL this mans heart shattered into billions of peaces. Even if he has an not so hyperactive and has monotone tone in his voice, you can just..Still tell hes heart broken. He started giving up on HIMSELF, and hes STUBBORN Y'ALL.

DO YOU KNOW. HOW HARD,, AN STUBBORN PERSON HAS TO HIT ROCK BOTTOM TO BE LIKE..

"My hopes and all my work, was all for nothing. Im just an big ole failure."

Y'ALL. THIS MAN HAD ME CRYING AND NEEDING TO TAKE FIVE (You can tell im like..maybe more a wamby fan than a triffy one..I lobe blue hair and prns farmers....)

I like to think he also was made fun of for his feelings back then. Especially cause of like..Of grumpus world is like our world, him as an man would've been definitely made fun of for crying. Especially if this is..Something so heavy and meaningful to him,, he was definitely sobbing and pouring his heart out but only to be made fun of. Or had his problems seen as something so little..

And triffany *may* had accidentally had some help in it in an way, since she worked so much due to being an workalcoholic and its her passion. She loves archeology and wambus could never ever in an million years deny his wife of her happiness like she could never deny wambus his. Even though, that ended up with them fighting. Especially wambus putting his foot down on not wanting to be somewhere he can't grow plants other than cacti. Especially if he was so hyperfocused on sauce plants, and only ones that grow there are hot sauce or cheese,, but we seen wambus grow an wide variety. He wouldn't really wanna just only ever be able to grow two types of sauce plants.

Also just supperr self indulgent,, I like to think he has one or two actual degrees in some sort of botany or farm work..Plus hess ermm Audhd cause I said so. Sorry NOT sorry. <3

Also, I have an BUNCH. Of wambus hcs :3

-> Wambus is hispanic,, (You can pick whatever one, just I like mexican wambus a lot..)

-> Knows spanish, especially cause he lived in an heavy spanish speaking area.

-> Always worked on an farm/countryside, he loves talking about his childhood. You can tell by how much he smiles when talking about it

-> An shy kid in public due to his family always wanting him to speak english heavily in school, but was an rowdy kid that would say curses in spanish

-> He LOVES dogs and cats. He had an hunting dog when he was little, also talks about that dog a lot. Her name was brownie .. Had an barn cat or two, both were name Charolette and Scarlett.. :3

-> Was held back an grade or two, only because of how he worked more than was in school. But he isn't dumb, hes slicker than a fox.

-> he is TEXAN. Take it or leave it /silly

-> Hes an introvert extrovert heavily. Just due to people getting off putted by his natural 'bitch face' a lot of people don't talk to him.

-> Knows a lot about death, especially since he lived on an farm. One of his jobs he would've been fine with is an flower guy for funerals.

-> He *has* an childhood gothic friend. They talk alottt.. (is this based an oc x canon dynamic from me and my partners au?..Maybe..You'll never know sorry not sorry)

-> Due to the two other hcs,, its also how triffany was drawn to him heavily. Just..so heavily, cause he never overreacted to her funfacts and really really gruesome and horrifically details facts other than asking more about it. Cause he genuinely wanted to know.

-> I will NEVER. Give up my most famous hc of wambus being an girl dad.

-> Hes also really good with kids surprisingly. Even though his back would be hurting so much, he will teach kids how to climb trees safely or not, and go on and on about his own childhood stories. Once taught/told an kid about the time he ran away from bees. Spent the day helping the lil' kiddo try to find an bee hive before an accident happend and they both ended up stung badly.

-> He loves summer and spring..Especially spring, he gets so giddy about it.

-> Youngest. He is the baby of his family, was always picked on but is now the strongest between them. Gets called little blue or baby ox tho. They make fun of him but hes gotten used to it..💔

Thats it..Just I LOVEEE wambus. Ty for asking my opinion on him..Hes my favorite and I genuinely wish people loved him just as much as people loved triffany..

the boys as bodyguards

dedicated to absolutely no one. sure this is an asks blog - does that mean i have to actually answer them? i know i know bad admins bad admins whatcha gonna do whatcha gonna do when they come for you but i had a dream ages ago now that involved bodyguards, tsunamis, and also a shit ton of murder. don't ask. anyway, it got me pondering. and then it took literal months to write this so i figured i'd post what i've got so far, and maybe i'll update with the rest of the boys later, depending on how well this does/how much time i have

hanamiya makoto

hanamiya’s the package deal

he’s the chief advisor; he’s the doctor; he’s the bodyguard; he’s the sniper. just a right hand man in every way possible.

i mean, he’s not literally your right hand man: he’s the leader of a team, and often it’ll be one of his men there next to you at events, but he’s always supervising or coordinating or collecting intel

ie he’s dedicated to his job. he does like engineering spider’s webs after all.

having said that, he’s also an uncontrollable prick

he’s the best at giving you advice, both in terms of navigating high society and in terms of actual business advice, but is he going to give that advice without slipping in a snide comment about how you should really know all this by now? when you tell him to make sure to take a break some time, is he going to stop himself from saying “maybe if you weren’t so incredibly useless on your own, i’d be able to.”

and sure maybe he’s breaking the universal declaration of human rights with what he does to the people who dare to try harm you, but you don’t know about that

need to know basis type beat

you don’t even have access to the full floor plans of your own property, which includes a basement you’ll never know about, let alone step foot in. hanamiya keeps that information very close to his chest.

gotta make sure his employer has plausable deniability

gotta make double sure that you don’t find out about half the things he does - from the ways he sources his information, to his very dodgy organised crime links, to the number of people that have sadly lost their lives in the name of “fuck it, you’re pissing me off” - because he hates when you bang on about bullshit like “laws” and “morals”

after all, if everyone followed your beloved laws and morals, then you’d have no need for his services

as he always tells you, he’s just your pet necessary evil

yamazaki hiroshi

i reckon he only got into the bodyguard business because he spent his childhood wanting to be a samurai but, well you know, that’s not really a job opportunity anymore

what it does mean though is that he’s all about bushido: mastering his work, bravery, honesty, etc - and above all else loyalty to one’s employer

on a random thursday afternoon, he’ll tell you, completely nonchalantly, straight face, “i would die for you if that’s what it takes. on my life, i’ll always keep you safe.”

you’re staring at him like wtf and/or trying to stop yourself blushing, but he thinks that’s a completely normal thing to say cause he’s just following bushido

of course, late one night, he’ll wake up realise how weird that came across and he’ll spend the next week trying not to blush whenever you talk to him

just like the time he spent a week kicking himself after you walked in on him training, shirtless and rather sweaty, and when you told him he should take a break, he said “but i need to train so my body can be at its best for you”

again, at the time that sounded very reasonable, serious, and totally bushido to him. it’s only later that he’s freaking out in his room like why in god’s name did he say that.

but hey that’s bodyguard!yamazaki for you. a little weird, a little socially inept, but loyal to a fault

haizaki shougo

can you imagine the number of jobs that this man has lost for sleeping on the job?

he’s only got his current gig looking after you because his prices are cheaper and you were getting desperate to find someone in your budget

he’s a ...uhh… unique bodyguard? in the sense that he’ll get you out of harms way eventually, but "eventually" is the key word there

haizaki actively ignores intel that a certain location might be dangerous, because he really just wants to get into fights. sure you might get in the way occasionally, maybe even get some nasty bruises, but hey you get what you pay for.

you want a good bodyguard, save up some money, idiot.

literally the only reason he got into being a bodyguard is so he can beat people up legally (and because he got dishourably discharged from the military); he doesn’t care that much about the whole ‘protecting’ side of things

he’s also the type to ditch you the minute a better paying job comes up (possibly combat work as a mercenary). however he’s not as cold-hearted as he may seem, and he’ll happily spend a day of leave breaking into your penthouse

so that when you return in the evening, he’s there sat on an armchair, grinning smugly, “man your security’s turned to shit since i left.”

shortly followed by, “miss me?”

jason silver

jason’s the quintessential bodyguard, cause, after all, having a very muscular 6’11 man follow you everywhere you go isn’t exactly subtle

but he’s recognisable for other reasons as well.

like the fact that he’ll accompany you to formal balls, and he’ll be the only man there with an undone tie - it’s such a massive argument trying to get him to wear an appropriate suit instead of his usual hoodies and sweatpants, that can anyone blame you for not having the energy to insist he stops undoing his tie as well?

he’s also not exactly one for professionality. like you’ll be minding your business, trying to network, and suddenly you’ll hear a wolf whistle by your ear and a “wouldn’t mind me a bit of that”

“jason, that’s the ambassador to norway. we’re having her over for dinner next week, so, with all due respect, shut the fuck up. and whisper next time, for heaven’s sake! what if someone had heard you?”

“shit, is it a crime to like some nice tits in this economy?”

and when you glare at him, genuinely furious, he grins, puts his hands up, and says, “sorry, sorry. forgot you don’t like me having eyes for anyone else, boss.”

but don’t get me wrong, jason’s not all evil contra to fujimaki’s propaganda

he is an incredibly good bodyguard - those animal instincts really help him out when it comes to getting you out of a sniper’s line of sight, or saving you from a bullet, or just assessing a room for potential entry points. and he packs a mean punch if anyone tries to try something on you, a solid ko.

no one’s getting past him essentially

the only problem is that it’s incredibly difficult to thank jason for saving your life, cause the last thing he needs is an ego boost or feeling like you owe him.

“seriously jason. i don’t know how i can ever repay you.”

“usually the payslip’s enough,” he smirks, “but you know that little lady ambassador-“

unsuprisingly, he’s not invited to the dinner.

₊˚ପ⊹ Prey of the Snake Eyes (*❦ω❦)/‘˚◞♡ ⃗ *ೃ༄

✧Rating: Smut + Slight NonCon

✧Characters: Thirteen

✧Word Count: 2.4k

✧Summary: Your decision to wear matching costumes with Mammon to the Devildom annual Halloween party was the last straw for a certain snake-eyed reaper. One moment you’re playing classic carnival games and winning prizes, the next you’re pulled into a secluded spot in the eerie haired house and shown who you really belong to. Try to keep quiet all you want, she’s not stopping till you’re sobbing loud enough to rattle the walls of the celestial realm.

“This was such a cute idea! But how in the world did you get Levi to help make these for us?” You asked Mammon while happily twirling around in front of the mirror.

“My amazing persuasive skills and a little bit of bribery never hurt anyone,” Mammon chuckled to himself as he rested his arm on your shoulder and joined you in front of the mirror.

“You didn’t hear it from me but you look smokin’ hot as Yoimiya,” he playfully nudges you with his elbow, “Everyone’s gunna be so jealous.”

“Yeah, so very jealous that I'm going with The Arataki Itto, that’s what,” you nudge him back and put your hands on your hips.

“Haha, now that’s a given,” he smirks and combs his fingers through his hair. After a quick laugh at his antics you both rush out of the door to make it to the location on time. This wasn’t your first time going to Devildom’s annual Halloween party, but it was the first time you were not only going with someone but dressing up with them too. Usually you and the rest of the demon brothers go as a group, but this year RAD decided it was a great idea to give out a heavily weighted quiz the day after the party so everyone’s held up in their rooms studying. The only reason you and Mammon are going is because he never really cared about his studies and says ‘he could do it with his eyes closed’ and you completed your studies early. You were honestly very happy you didn’t have to go alone because parties are always more fun with friends. But there's just one thing you feel like you’re forgetting…

“Are you sure we brought everything?” You remarked, looking through your purse as you walked.

“What would we need to bring to a Halloween party besides ourselves?” He laughed it off, taking your hand in his and giving it a squeeze.

“Well I don’t know, maybe things like money, keys to the house, our phones, our tickets-“

“Yeah yeah yeah I get it, I’d be lost without you, what else are ya tryin’ to prove, huh?” He snickered and squeezed your hand again.

“I’m glad you realize it,” you laugh with him and eventually reach the entrance to the event. It’s decorated with vines, fake bats, and cutouts of ghosts and other monsters. It looks a little more cute than scary, though. But the interior is a lot more appealing as you two enter. There’s tons of mini games, other demons in costumes, a corn maze, a haunted house, and even a fountain filled with smoking purple water. This might have just been your imagination but you could have sworn Mammon’s eyes sparkled like bright fireworks at the idea of getting to experience all these attractions with you.

“They fuckin’ got apple bobbin’ too! Come on, we gotta go see!” He excitedly pulled your arm, causing you to yelp as he dragged you towards the buckets of apples. That was until both of you suddenly stopped.

“Huh? What gives?!” Mammon narrows his eyes, ready to square with any insignificant demon pleb that dared to interrupt his private time with you. Instead, he realized he was face to face with a bubbly, smiling face and a pair of sharp, snake-like eyes.

“Why hello again Sheepy and… company?” Thirteen waved to you and gave a curious look to Mammon, “Ohhh, you’re that funny guy who tried using a fishing rod while on the roof to snatch things out of people’s bags! Hahaha, that had me in tears!”

His face lit up in an embarrassed and angry blush, “It was one fucking ti- I mean, HOW DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THAT?!”

“Wait mammon you actually tried something like that…?” You raised your eyebrow. You knew he would do anything for some quick Grimm but that seems way too cartoony, even for him.

Thirteen continued giggling, playfully slapping him on the back, “Could have used a better escape plan though! Falling off the roof and into the bushes wasn't the best idea.”

“J-just shut up, would ya?! It’s none of your business!!” He snapped back, pulling you closer to him by the arm.

“Alright fine, I’ve had my fun. And I don’t just come here to embarrass you or something, I came here for the little sheepy over here!~” She flashed you a smirk, causing Mammon’s blood to boil. She caught a glimpse at the hand tucked behind his back and the glimmering gold chains swirling around his fingertips and looked away from you, “But it seems you’re a little occupied at the moment, what a bummer. Guess I’ll just have to wait my turn, Cya around, sheepy!” As she bounded away, she drifted a teasing nail across your chest.

“That reaper girl… ugh, whatever, let’s just ignore her,” Mammon huffed as he motioned you back towards the apple buckets.

Throughout the whole night you couldn’t stop thinking about her, over and over, especially how she touched your chest. Was she trying to hint at something?

“Hey, earth to MC, pay attention! It’s no fun winnin’ if you’re just gonna count every star in the sky all night!” Mammon snapped his fingers in front of your face.

“Huh? What? Oh, sorry my bad. It’s uh, just a beautiful night tonight, I got distracted,” you laughed it off, picking your water gun back up and aiming it right at the target ahead of you.

“Yeah yeah, whatever you say, sore loser- Hey, quit that, you might actually beat me!” He exclaims, trying to fire twice as fast. After a very close match, you managed to come out on top by only a few points, being rewarded with a cute plushie bat with devil horns.

“Ughhh no fair, I shouldn’t have snapped your attention back and taken the free win instead,” he groaned to himself as you two walked away from the booth, hanging his head low dramatically.

“Look who’s the sore loser now?” You smirked, jabbing him in the shoulder.

“Shut it, I’m not a sore loser! Uh- there! See that game over there? First one to get a prize is the real winner! I’m totally going to wipe that shit eating grin off your face!” He points at the high striker game in the distance and sprints over to it. Excited by the challenge, you begin to follow him, only to feel a familiar pair of hands grace your shoulders.

“Huh? What the-!” You gasp as you're suddenly yanked into the haunted house, a mischievous giggle leading the way to a dark, secluded hallway.

“Was the little sheepy surprised?” A pair of bright green snake-like eyes illuminated the darkness. It was… thirteen?

“Huh? Thirteen? What’s this about? Mammon and I were-“ She presses her pointer finger against your lips.

“Shhhhh~ just forget all about that greedy crow. I’m way more fun than he or anyone in all of Devildom, I thought you knew that by now~” she smirks and once again traces a nail down the middle of your chest. You gulp nervously as the thoughts of your… previous encounters imprint themselves back into your mind.

“B-but we… I’m…” Your heart rate and breathing accelerate more and more as the mischievous reaper leans over you, caging you against the wall.

“Don’t be scared, little sheepy. I'm just here to talk, that’s it!~ Then I’ll let ya go, sounds good?” Her sweet voice becomes a low whisper right against your ear, causing a shiver to run straight down your spine. She smirks at your reaction but doesn’t mention it.

“Whenever I see you nowadays, you’re always hanging around those demon brothers. What’s the deal, huh? I know you’re roommates or whatever but come on, don’t tell me you’d rather get pulled around like their dog on a leash than have some fun with little old me,” she pouts playfully, nudging her thigh between your legs, “And don’t think I can’t see the way they look at you. I can tell they want you, they want you more than just roommates or even friends for that matter. It’s almost amusing. Because no matter how much they want you,” she smirks once more and rubs her thigh against your twitching heat, making you release a whine, “You’re aaaaaall mine~”

“T-thirteen, w-we are in public someone will-“ Your heart skips a beat as she chuckles devilishly, an evil smile stretching across her face.

“Someone will see? Is that it? And so what? Just means more demons will finally realize who you belong too. And I’d guess you like that too, huh?” Her eyes narrow as she grabs your hips and slides them harder against his plush thigh. It’s almost humiliating how good she’s making you feel. You bite your lip, turning away from her, doing your best to hold on to your last shreds of dignity in the face of this flirtatious reaper. But you should have already known fighting back against her is pointless.

“Trying to hold back? Think your cute little body can resist? How silly~ You may be a very special and important human but you’re still just a human with normal human weaknesses~” She laughs at your feeble attempts and doubles down, rubbing your poor, twitching sex harder against her thigh and leaning down to litter rushed hickeys down your neck. If you shunted just a bit it wouldn’t take much to confuse her for a succubus.

“Come on little sheepy, just give in so I can show you a better time than that Mammon guy~” She rolled her eyes at the mere mention of his name, “Playing fun carnival games, wearing matching costume, holding hands, Ughh it’s just insufferable… but I’m getting off topic, I can already tell your body has given up~”

You look down at your hips and watch helplessly as you hump against her leg, small pants and gasps leaving your mouth. She was right.

“What will it be? Want me to continue this or do you wanna peace right back over to the demon that isn’t even looking for you? Who will you choose, the pesky little demon boys or your gorgeous and powerful reaper of souls?~” she waited expectedly for your response, her fingertips snaking under your outfit and teasing the edge of your shorts.

You knew leaving Mammon wasn't a very good idea. If he found you like this it might ignite a second war. But the longer she had you pinned against the wall, grinding your aroused sex in just the right ways to make you lose your mind.

“Agh…damn it… I g-give up…” you finally relented, causing an excited giggle to leave her glossy lips.

“Good little sheepy, I knew you’d tap out eventually. You’ve never been able to resist me and you ever will~” she smirks happily before pulling your shorts down to your knees, making you hiss as the cold, musky air of the creepy hallway greets your dripping, clenching pussy.

“Oh my, look at how damn wet you are from just my thigh, it’s so adorable~” she whispers as she traces small patterns over your pulsing clit, sliding down to your fluttering cunt. Her strokes from your twitching hole to your sensitive clit sends your body into a frenzy, shivering and whimpering like a virgin.

“It feels good doesn’t it? I bet those ignorant demon boys could only dream of touching you like this. Hehehe almost makes me wanna snap a pretty picture of your sweet little pussy taking my fingers and slip a copy under each of their doors, just so they know what they're missing~” Her threats fall on deaf ears as she carefully punges two fingers into your cunt, making sure her thumb doesn’t stop massaging your clit. Your hips buck up into her fingers as they prod against your g spot, almost immediately making your head tilt back to release a surprised moan.

“T-thirteeeeennnnghhh, shit, this feels so good…” You whine and arch your back.

“Oh, I can tell~ I’m only using two fingers but you’re acting like I’m splitting you open. Are you close? Ready to cum already?~” she snickered and gave your g spot a firm rub before thrusting her fingers even faster.

“Mmm, fuck, gunna cum, I need to cu-“ Your half lidded eyes flew open as the sounds of echoed footsteps rung out from some here in the haunted house, “S-someone’s her- AGh?!~”

You looked down in fear as three skilled fingers pounded into your pussy and Thirteen’s lips wrapped around your throbbing bud. You knew damn well she could hear those footsteps just as well as you did. Such a troublemaker, through and through. Your orgasm was quickly approaching as the warmth built up more and more in your abdomen, showing no signs of stopping.

“MC?! Damn it, where are you?! Answer me!” Mammon’s worried voice grew closer and closer, footsteps rushing down the opposing hall. All it would take is one turn at the corner and one more thrust against your sweet spot and he would get to witness the sight of his crush cumming all over someone else’s fingers. The image of that lewd scene was both terrifying and hot at the same time, making your stimulated cunt squeeze even tighter.

“Oh?~ Don’t tell me… does the little pure sheepy like the thought of being found with their pussy being fucked? Hehehe, I’ll take your twitches as a yes,” An almost sadistic expression spread across her face from in between your legs. If that look means what you think it means, you were really in for it. A stream of moans rip from your throat as she sucked harshly on your clit, finger fucking you so hard your pussy’s squelching could probably be heard from all the way at the fucking entrance of the haunted house.

“Aaagghh, s-slow do- f-faster… fuckkk, slow D-DOWNNNGHH!~~’” Your body shook pathetically as the dreaded footsteps picked up speed.

“Yeah, keep crying out like a good little sheepy. You’re mine, and no one else’s. Now cum, cum all over my tongue and show Mammon how much better I make you feel~”

The boiling heat in your pussy was far too impossible to hold back any longer, exploding into a spasm of muscles and loud moans as your hot slick spilled into Thirteen’s eager mouth. The horrified look of betrayal on Mammon’s face you caught the glimpse of before your dazed eyes blinked closed is one that will stay permanently engraved in your mind the next time you try to go out with another demon.

Reblog + Comment + Like if you’d like to see more obey me or Thirteen in specific writing!

Honestly, vmin and yoonmin are now dead ships. Besides most yoonminers are taekookers who side ship Jimin with Yoongi cause they hate jikook bond.

That leaves us with 2 main ships within bts, Taekook and Jikook. Clearly Taekookers are a lot more in number than jikookers, and Taekook is the biggest ship right now.

Based on this, JK has the most shippers for followers cause he has both, taekookers and jikookers.

Tae co pilots Taekook, Jimin co pilots jikook and Jungkook co pilots BOTH (degree of co piloting might differ, but Jungkook does co pilot both).

Well I won't say V min is dead necessarily. V used to carry that ship as it was his main ship at some point when Jungkook wasn't actively promoting Tuktuk.

And now that Jimin isn't actively promoting their ship he's on to Tuktuk land yet again.

The survival of both his ships is contingent on both other members who often than not play wishy-washy with him. I get the frustration. I mean he has to come on here and read tons about how both his ships is one sided where in one he is waiting to be chose and picked by his best friend who has outrightly friend zoned him while the other is said to not want anything to do with him at all cos he's in love with his other friend.

I get the desire to wanting to prove either situations wrong. I've always said Tae can be a bit of a spice and an acquired taste. Right now in my life he's too spicy for me and I gotta need to spit him out to breathe 😩

He and Tuktukkers make such a good pair. He brings the pain they love the pain it just works 🤭

There's this constant seesaw ernery going on with both of Taes major ship at every point in time. When Tuktuk is down v min is up. When vmin is down Tuktuk is up. While I don't think he ever wants to get on the bad side of Jungkook but doesn't mind a dog fight if one happens to break out between them I don't think he minds at all with Jimin.

Jimin is the one with the big heart who would talk it out and forgive him when he fucks up I don't think he can try that shit with Jungkook. Two different dynamics here.

Sorry I've lost my train of thought I clearly have a lot to get off my chest about v min🙄

What were we talking about💀

I don't think the conversation is about who has the most shippers that would be Tae and Jungkook clearly obviously.

The discourse is about ascertaining each members MAIN SHIP. And I gave the parameters for that,

A. A members main ship is the ship most of his followers gravitate towards and the ship A member actively promote.

I don't think most of Jungkook stans are shippers to begin with. How often do you come across a JK biased Jikooker?

Most jikookers are jm biased and most Tuktukkers are Tae biased.

I am simply asking yall to tell me if there are any ships where most of the shippers are JK biased.

Jungkook Co pilots both Taekook and Jikook....

I'm about to disagree passionately 🤣

I was 11 and my brother was 2 at the time when the family was going to Walmart. I got my brother out of the car seat and as soon as I set him down he took and ran in the middle of the street. Out of the corner of my eye I see this car barreling down the road and in a split second I took off. I went after him and got ran over by the car, thankfully my brother only got hit by the bumper. He had minor bruising which was a miracle in of itself but I broke my ankle and fractured my leg as well.

I still remember my mom telling me that if “you’d just been faster then your brother wouldn’t be so afraid of cars.” My dad said that I was using my accident as a crutch to get sympathy when I asked for help with school cause I was in a wheelchair. The last half of 6th grade was hard, everyone looked at me as a pity case while others thought I was this amazing hero for selflessly putting myself in harms way. I didn’t feel like any of those things. I didn’t know how to feel at those times, I just wanted my brother to be okay. To this day I can’t forget the things my parents said or how they acted.

I think I have PTSD from that accident, my parents never took what I went through seriously. I still get nervous around loud cars or when cars make that screeching noise when they stop. Id keep brushing it off like “yeah I got ran over big deal” but when my brother turned 11, I finally realized how small I was. Hit me like a ton of bricks, I remember just holding him tightly on his 11th birthday to me and thankfully he let me.

My brother is now a healthy 14 year old but he’s still that lil boy that I almost lost.

Wtf?? I'd push your parents into traffic, personally, but I'm a vindictive person

I hope you healed up okay! There's no good age to be breaking bones but 11 is rough

Your brother better have let you! You saved his life! Lmao. I gotta say my little brother is seven years younger than me so not quite the same age difference but close. If I'm doing my math right, he'd be about your age now so a full grown adult with a big boy job who doesn't need me but he'll never stop being my little guy who I had to raise so be prepared for that feeling to never change

𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐝𝐞 |ROTTMNT| (Leo X Male OC)

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐨𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐅𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It was a busy day in the lair, or at least somewhat busy. Mikey had baked tons of pizza related things for the annual Tokyo Extreme Skateboarding Finals. Adriaen wasn’t big on events like these, but over the years he had come to enjoy it, especially when he first learned how to skateboard and wanted to see what kind of tricks others could do. Nowadays, he just likes watching the live show on his phone, it was relaxing.

Leo was skateboarding on the ramp behind Adriaen who had been sitting in a beanbag that he brought out of his room to sit in, while Raph and Donnie are watching the live broadcast on their phones.

Mikey, wearing a chef's hat and admiring the feast he made, puts down the final touches of his long table of pizza food.

"Okay, we got pizza rolls, pizza balls, pizza tots, pizza puffs and duck a l’orange pizza!"

“As if today could get any more perfect." Donnie grins happily, being interrupted when the announcer on his tablet spoke up, “Live in Tokyo, the extreme skateboarding finals." they say, Raph immediately perking up.

"It’s starting guys."

They began to gather while Leo was continuing to skateboard on the ramp, Adriaen glanced up at him to see if he was coming over, but he was lost in his own little world.

"Three hours of insane tricks. And the rumors are true. Sydney Allen will attempt a 14-40 on the Mega Ramp."

“Is that even possible?" Donnie questions, immediately followed by Mikey and Raph’s comments.

“No way."

“She’s gotta be a mutant."

Adriaen lightly deadpans at Raph’s comment about her being a mutant, but he focuses back on the screen, curious to see more of Sydney Allen.

Leo however couldn’t help but smirk, hand standing on his skateboard, balancing. “Hey. I bet I could do a 14-40." He challenges, causing the others to look over at him in uncertainty.

“I will forgo my usual, ‘No don’t, That four rotations. That’s crazy talk Leo. And skip right ahead to cover the food.’” Donnie bluntly responded as Mikey and Raph were quick to run to cover the food.

Adriaen crossed his arms and watched Leo who pumped his fist into the air.

“For Sydney!"

The red eared slider flips his skateboard as he jumps down. He sped right past his siblings, as they tried to protect the food. He waved his hands about to balance himself which he did, grinning confidently, he glanced at Adriaen and winks at him, making the black bandanna turtle raise a brow at him.

Leo lifts his skateboard high in the air, but his missteps cause him to lose his balance. He tumbled down as his skateboard flew around. Mikey and Raph laughed at Leo, pointing at him as the red slider looked annoyed, sliding down the ramp himself with his arms folded together.

Adriaen saw the skateboard come flying at him with incredible speed. “Whoa!” He yelped before jumping out the way in time, unfortunately Leo's skateboard crashes into the router on the wall, breaking it.

“The Wi-fi! Wifi, skating, Raph watch, Donnie fix, Raph happy." Raph gasps out, shaking Donnie with wide eyes and handing him a tablet.

Adriaen stood back up and glared briefly at the others, “I almost got my head chopped off and y’all are more worried about the wi-fi?” He inquired, but got zero response, well besides Leo who gulps and awkwardly rubbed the back of his neck.

Donnie was far more focused on the no internet dilemma. “I need pregame. Stats, highlights of past stats, projections of future stats. We’re missing the stats, people!" He exclaims in a panic, everyone running about.

"And we’re gonna Miss Sydney and the 14-40!"

Adriaen was a bit disappointed he’ll admit, but he wasn’t going to go into a panic mode about the wifi, he’ll just have to catch next year's finals.

"Everybody, cool it. There’s worse things in the world than— Oh who am I kidding? Our lives are ruined.” Raph tried to be brave but only to send deflated, Adriaen sighs and gazed over to the direction of the living room.

”What about the TV?”

Raph immediately perked up and beams at the suggestion, “Yes! Good idea. Guys, I have an idea, but it ain’t gonna be pretty." He assured his brothers who gaze their eyes towards their older brother.

In a few minutes the siblings, plus Adriaen who stood on the sidelines, came running into the living room, on their knees in front of Splinter.

"Dad, you gotta let us watch T.V."

"We’ll do anything!"

Splinter was very much amused, rubbing a hand under his chin, "Anything? That is more than something and just shy of everything. Go on." He grins cheekily, wanting to hear what they had to offer.

"Gourmet dinners?"

"Nostril waxing?"

"Hey, Raph will even carry you around 24/7." Leo added, patting Raph on the arm, he then glanced at Adriaen and quickly grabbed him and dragged him over.

”And Adriaen can give you all the massages you want!”

”Say what now?”

Adriaen blinks in bewilderment before glaring at Leo, putting his hands on the red sliders face and tried to free himself from Leo’s grasp. “Oh no I won’t! You can offer yourself up for that.” Adriaen sassed, Leo whining for him to not run away.

“This is quite a generous offer, but I must refuse. We are in the golden age of commercials! I would bring disgrace on my family if I missed even one."

Splinter shutdown the offers, the turtles moving to the side to see what was showing on the projector, a commercial of an ice tray shown. Donnie groans and everyone gathered around together, “Okay, ideas, people. My eyes need extreme skateboarding ASAP." He ordered, his eye twitching from lack of wifi.

“Maybe next time, let’s not put the Wi-fi in a high traffic crash zone." Leo couldn’t help but bring up, and well…he did have a point. “I agree. Whose idea was it to put it there?” Adriaen tilted his head in puzzlement, “You know what, good question.” Mikey hums in thought, trying to figure out who it was.

Raph however had other plans, gasping at an idea as he snapped his fingers.

“Wi-fi! That’s it. I know what to do."

He didn’t say anything else before running off, his brothers and Adriaen sharing a confused look but chased after the large mutant.

He led the group topside, jumping across the rooftops and headed straight to the mall. “The mall?” Adriaen wondered out loud, as Raph chuckles. “Trust me.” Was all he said before jumping down and with the help of Donnie, they managed to break in.

With a few more steps inside, they reach a food court area, Donnie smiling and sitting down on a chair, tablet in hand.

“Gilbert’s Department store after hours, an ideal per excellence, Raphael."

"I was due."

"And, thanks to April’s job here last year, we have the wifi password…one." Donnie muses, entering the single digit into his tablet where immediately the live broadcast was shown for them.

“We’ll be right back with more skateboarding. Brought to you by Ice Tray Grand Trays for ice."

"Yes!" They all cheer, even Adriean.

"I love you guys and watching you this with all of you is my favourite bonding day of the year." Mikey heartwarmingly smiles, hugging Donnie first in which everyone else piled in on the hug.

But it didn’t last long the bonding moment, everyone had gone their separate ways to take a seat at different places, their phones in hands to watch the event. Leo and Adriaen sat at a table together, with Leo having hit feet up comfortably.

Adriaen was a bit hunched over; eyes glued to his phone. He was switching between watching the live stream and just mindlessly scrolling through social media. Something however crashed from somewhere in the mall, gaining both Raph’s and Adriaen’s attention.

"Did you guys hear that?"

Leo smirks, not bothering to look at his brother, “You mean that loud bang? No." He says with utter sarcasm, Adriaen deadpans at him with an unimpressed look, whacking Leo’s legs off the table.

”Ow!”

Leo pouted towards Adriaen; Raph looks over to everyone else who also didn’t look up from their screens.

"Is anyone gonna check it out?"

"And miss skateboarding? Sounds like a job for the guy who’s always telling us he’s our leader." Donnie responded with his own hint of sass. Raph groans and stands up, chair scraping away from him.

"Fine. I’ll go."

He leaves, and Adriaen wondered if he should join Raph. He goes to stand up, but Leo cheekily placed his legs over Adriaen’s lap, having move the chair he was sitting on closer to the mutant turtle.

”He’ll be fine. Stick around. Oh, and smile for the camera!”

Leo grins mischievously as he aims his phone at Adriaen and without much more warning snaps a picture of Adriaen, the noise of the camera app echoing slightly.

Leo smiles happily at the picture, having drawn hearts and even added little dog ears and whiskers to Adriaen’s face.

Cute.

Adriaen sighs and slumps back down into his own chair, there wasn’t anything interesting happening with the broadcast, so he stuck to mindlessly scrolling.

Raph will be fine. He’ll be back soon.

He narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard the noise of the camera again. “Leo stop taking pictures of me.” He called out, having Leo stick his tongue out in amusement, “But these are memories! I’m gonna quickly send them to myself in case I accidentally delete them or something!” He muses, doing so as Adriaen shakes his head and blushed softly in embarrassment.

Suddenly Raph comes running over, eyes wide and yelling for their attention. "Guys! Those freaky flame-guys are back stealing jewelry. Gear up, fellas. Time to show ‘em what we think of that." Raph announces with confidence, but the others didn’t share his enthusiasm, still all focused on their devices.

“Yeah, okay. Do you mean after we’re done watching the finals, cool?"

"Come on, Leo! Crime never takes a break, so neither can we." Raph tried to encourage, as Donnie tilts his head at him, “I am not sure I follow, you mean like on commercials." He asks, causing Raphael to groan and face palm.

"Oh, man, you guys are killing me. Look, this is serious fellas, okay?"

"Okay." Everyone else boredly replied, Adriaen would have been on Raph’s side of things but even he can’t help but feel unmotivated to do anything. Besides, those Foot guys weren’t really all that much of a threat. What could they possibly want in a mall?

"Fine: We’ll try to do both. Fight bad guys and watch skating. Hey, and we are real heroes." Raph concluded which finally got everyone to agree and head off in the direction of where the Foot people were.

They get to the escalator, everyone glued to their phone screens and watching the broadcast, "Sydney’s signing autographs for the judges before she goes. For those of you just tuning in Sydney Allen is about to attempt the 14-40 on the mega ramp. It’s the moment skate fans have been waiting their whole lives for." The announcer ranted on. One by one the turtles get off the escalator, moving to the side to about walking into a mannequin.

By the time they arrived at where the villains were, Adriaen took note that they were holding a gauntlet of sorts that has a red Ruby ring attached to its finger.

“We’ve got it!"

Raph was the first to call out to them, the gang with their weapons out, eyeing down the Foot people. "Alright, hot heads. Hand over the ruby ring and—“ Raphael began to threaten but was cut off when all of their phones began to speak, the familiar voice of the announcer echoing to them.

"Sydney Allen is climbing the Mega Ramp as I speak."

“Yes!"

They get back on their phones, all eager to watch the skateboarding competition and Sydney Allen. The smaller villain eyes then in curiosity and confusion, clearing their throat for the turtle’s attention.

"Ahem?"

"Hey, with you in a sec, pal."

While watching their phones, the announcer commented once again, "But before she goes, let’s learn a little bit more about our judges." They said which had the group of mutant turtle groan and put away their phones.

“Okay—“

Raph was shoved away by Leo, who grins at the villains, while trying to seem intimidating. "Right, right. Look here, forehead flambé, we can do this the easy way or the hard way—“ Leo was interrupted by Donnie who slides on in from the other side of Raph.

"But since we only have a quick minute ‘til Sydney’s back on, we are really lobbying for the easy way."

Mikey nods his head in agreement. "Super easy." He says, as Adriaen softly sighs and eyes the two villains with footprints on their faces. “Let’s get this over with guys.” He informs, and upon his comment they attack.

The smaller Foot guy attacks Raph, managing to knock him back into a stack of mannequins.

“So that's a hard pass." Leo murmurs, Raph grunting lightly and standing back up, "Nice punch, Hoss. Too bad I snagged the ring!" He muses, holding up the gauntlet that had the ring attached to the finger.

”Nicely done Raph!” Adriaen praised the large mutant turtle; he didn’t even see Raph snatch the ring off the villain.

“What? You have no idea what you're dealing with. Give it back now!"

The Foot guy throws origami paper where they transform into these ninja soldiers, much like how they first met.

“These paper guys—“

The origami soldiers attack, cutting Leo off his comment. Raph quickly tosses the gauntlet to Mikey who catches it with ease.

"Attention all bad guys, your villainy ends now.”

He jumps off the counter and onto a glass case where he grabbed a blue sweater and pulled it over the smaller villain's head. Smiling proudly at his work, Mikey perks up at the voice of the announcer on his phone, quickly taking it out to watch.

"And now Sydney's warm up run on the mega ramp."

"She’s back on guys. Just an easy run, Sydney. Save your strength for the main event."

“Sydney couldn’t be more primed to stay that 14-40!"

Adriaen, unlike the others wasn’t on his phone. He was focused on the fight with the larger Foot guy, who was swinging his fist at him. Adriaen effortlessly jumps back, dodging the fists.

”Is punching all you good at?” He couldn’t help but taunt, perhaps Leo was rubbing off on him as he accidentally got overconfident and tripped on some clothes that were laying on the ground.

Shoot!

Leo was quick to jump in, picking up the gauntlet that Mikey had somehow dropped earlier. Grabbing the brute of the Foot guy’s attention onto him and not on Adriaen.

"Can we call a quick time out? And I promise we’ll go back to kicking your butts."

Leo however gets hit by a paper soldier, sending him flying down the escalator, but in a few seconds, he returns back on the escalator again with a small smirk, focusing on his phone.

Adriaen shakes his head, cursing at himself to focus, and not trip up again. That was embarrassing, he’s just glad the others didn’t potentially see it. He gets back up, widening his eyes when a paper soldier ran at him to attack. He blinks before grounding himself, using his kama’s to slice at the paper soldier, chopping it in half. More origami men came charging at Adriaen who clicked his tongue in annoyance and jumped around to gain distance.

“Your instruction has delayed our operation." One of the villains, the brute, exclaims before knocking back Raph. “Nobody likes being interrupted in the middle of the plans they had their hearts set on. Am I right? Good irony Raph.” He laughs at his own joke, holding out his hand that held his phone.

”Mic drop.”

Unaware of what he was doing, Raph accidentally drops his phone, the screen cracked, and the phone itself was broken.

“No! Sydney!"

"What’s a Sydney?" The brute villain tilted his head, utterly confused, which honestly only made Raph angry. “What’s a Sydney?!” He yells before sending the brute crashing down at a sales rack.

He hurries over to Leo, who continues to watch his phone. “What’d I miss?" He asks his brother.

“Everything….it’s a commercial again." Leo teases before deadpanning at the commercial, a familiar one about ice trays. Adriaen was sent flying over towards Raph and Leo, skidding to a halt so he didn’t crash into them. “A little help guys!” He hissed at the two, who just mindlessly nod their heads at him.

“Sydney box no!" Mikey cried out; his phone being taken away by the smaller Foot guy who hums in sneaky thought. "A trade. Tell the purple one to give us back our plundered prize and then I’ll return your precious phone." He informs, but Mikey just laughs cheekily.

“Or we can do it my way. Guys, catch it!"

Mikey throws a hangar at the Foot guy, managing to swipe his phone away out of the villain's grasp, and over to where Leo, Raph and Adriaen were, unaware of the flying hangar and phone coming toward them, Leo’s own phone was knocked out of his hand and smashed on the floor along with Mikey’s.

"No!"

Mikey slides over, on his knees with devastation.

"No, take me instead! Wait..Donnie’s tablet. It’s our last hope."

Adriaen blinks and glanced to Donnie who was busy fighting the smaller Foot guy while also watching the live broadcast on his tablet that hung over his face with his mechanical arm that emerged from his battle shell.

Adriaen sweated at them, they must’ve forgot that Adriaen still had his phone, not that he is complaining, he didn’t want them all to crowd around him.

Donnie jumped into the air about to land an attack on the villain, who kicked him into Leo and Adriaen with ease. The brute grabs Raph from behind and Mikey was kicking away at the other while Raph punches the Brute off him, sending them crashing into each other. But the tablet Donnie was holding with his robot arms broke into pieces when they came flying towards Donnie who ducked down. Leaving his mechanical arm and tablet open.

The turtles all scream, except Leo and Adriaen who were on the ground and groaning.

Leo when finally wobbling his way over, crouched down in front of the broken pieces of the tablet.

"Is there even anything left to fight for?"

Adriaen rubs his head, not noticing his own phone laying on the floor, he walked over to the others and stood behind them, one hand on hip as he eyed them at their dramatics.

Man, we really need a hobby.

Mikey notices the Adriaen’s phone and points to it. “Adriaen still has his phone!” He exclaims, making them turn to the black bandanna turtle and then to his phone on the ground.

Adriaen quietly walked over and stared down at his phone and picked it up, he clicks his tongue in utter annoyance when he saw how it was cracked and even bent, most likely it had broke from the moment Donnie crashed into him and Leo earlier.

”Sorry guys, mines broken too.”

Upon this the turtles deflate into defeat, forgetting about the ring that they were trying to save from the two Foot men who managed to grab it when the turtles got distracted.

"You think she got it on her first try?"

"If anybody could."

Raph sighs in sadness, staring at his brothers and Adriaen with a frown. "My bad, fellas. I never should’ve thought we could watch Sydney and stop them." He apologised, but Mikey smiles and gently patted Raph on the shoulder.

“You were right. We’re heroes. Heroes don’t wait until commercials.”

Adriaen hums before glancing around, widening his eyes when he saw the two villains had vanished somewhere in the mall. “Wait, where’d they go?" He announces, the others searching around as well.

”Fools!”

They look up at the next level of the mall to see the two villains holding up the gauntlet.

“They got the ruby ring."

Raph narrowed his eyes before smirking. "They ruined our night. We’re ruining theirs.” He assured, Adriaen nods in agreement before noticing a green skateboard that a mannequin was holding before walking up to Leo.

”Hey Leo, another try at that 14-40 again? I didn’t quite see it last time.”

He hands the skateboard over to a puzzled Leo who took a moment to process what was being asked. His lips curved up into a cocky grin. Seconds later, he started skating down the escalator with utter confidence in himself. Using speed to zoom up the escalator ramps and head towards the villains.

”Cowabunga!”

He reached out and knocked down the two Foot guys, spinning in the air before landing safely on the floor, which earned a cheer from the others, holding the ring in hand.

The two villains fall flat down to the bottom floor of the mall.

“Not a 14-40 but three rotations and a ring saving steal. Boo to the yah!" Donnie praised, happily pumping out his fist in the air.

"So bad, so sad. Better luck next time." Mikey taunted, grinning down at the defeated villains who were groaning in pain. Adriaen softly chuckled and gave a small head pat to Mikey.

Leo clears his throat which gained everyone’s attention. "Look what I found at the guard desk. Its battery powered." He informs, holding up a small TV like device.

"Yes!"

The group head back to the food court area to watch the broadcast from the device, all crowding around it. "So close on the first two. I bet she’s gonna nail the 14-40 now." The announcer spoke to the audience, the boys cheering for her as Adriaen hums.

“I believe in you, Sydney! Let’s go, Sydney!"

Mikey sighs, turning to look at everyone. "I’ll say it again—I love you guys." He heartwarmingly declared out, leaning against Raph.

"Last chance. Can she do it folks?"

The screen shows Sydney skateboarding down the ramp and jumping in the air, so far doing 3 rotations in the air.

”One, two, three, fou—“

Suddenly the news flashed onto the screen, “We interrupt our program to report a break in at Gilbert’s Department Store." The reporter states out, Adriaen widening his eyes, at the news.

Uh oh, we better get out of here.

All the turtles screamed “no” from the interruption of their show, Mikey's dragging it out the longest, which had the others looking at him as he sank to the ground, making them dismayed.

Outside, the Foot soldiers have fled to an alley, chuckling when they pause once they were far enough from the mall.

"Fools, they thought we were after a puny ring."

The Foot lieutenant holds up the gauntlet, the true item they were after.

Back with the turtles who were hurrying out of the mall before the police came, came to a halt when Adriaen stopped running and looked over at the phone store.

“Wait guys, we need new phones and a tablet.”

”Adriaen…are you suggesting we steal from the mall?” Leo smirks at him, hands on hips and leaning forward, Adriaen couldn’t help but smirk in response.

”I wouldn’t call it stealing. We’re more like…borrowing them for the time being.”

He quickly snatched everyone a new phone and Donnie a new tablet. “Donne, you can make these phones untraceable right?” Adriaen questions to which Donnie triumphantly laughs.

”Scoff! ‘Course I can. Now let’s go before the cops arrive.”

One by one they exit the mall and head on back home, with brand new devices.

Heya! I was wondering if I could request a Bradley Bradshaw x Reader fic that’s enemies to lovers, slow burn? Like with tons of angst and maybe life and death situation lol? Maybe they became enemies in the academy or swim thing over a miscommunication or just their personalities clashed at the time or maybe reader is related to maverick or ice? Sorry that’s so specific lol.

Omg, thank you. I've been trying to write for a long time but didn't have any ideas at all. So thank you and happy reading.

BTW, I'm still alive.

I lothe you...

From a very young age, Bradley and Y/N had been the bane of each others existence. If Bradley did something and qas praised for it, Y/N had to do it better than him. If Y/N excelled at something, Bradley had to do the same. That is how they both got in to the academy, and then to top gun.

For most of their lives they had been competing with each other, until Maverick pulled Bradley's papers, putting Y/N a step ahead from him. Even though she felt bad for him, and was angry with her father for a long time, she couldn't help but feel this sense of victory.

But it was short lived when he managed to get into the academy and then into Top Gun at the same time as her. Even there they were competitive, always doing the most dangerous tasks, trying to prove that they are better. Thus very completion led to Y/N being the top of the class and Rooster a close second.

After the year at Top Gun they had both gone their separate ways, and never met, never talked, until now. The crowded room of the hard deck felt like home, the smell of beer and the sea, with drunk pilots was bring all the good memories back.

"It's good to see you Birdie." Phoenix said, slinging her arm over Y/N's shoulder.

"It's good to see you too Phoenix. It's been too long." Y/N replied, taking a sip from her beer.

The both of them got into a comfortable conversation, talking about their lives, the missions they went on. A few moments later Y/N's eyes moved over to the door to see a flick of pilots bursting through the door.

With them was him. Bradley, he was here and he was going to be part of the mission. Before Y/N could duck out, hide or go away, Hangman had already called out to Rooster.

"Well, well, well, if it isn't baby goose." He said.

"Hangman," Replied Rooster. "You look good."

"I am good." Hangman replied with a smirk. Bradley just nodded.

"You didn't tell me you were coming." Phoenix said pulling him into a hug.

"Right sorry about that." Rooster said, pulling away. "Was a little busy."

Till now, Rooster had spotted Y/N.

"Mitchell." He said acknowledging her presence.

"Bradshaw." She replied, sipping her beer.

"So what do think this mission is?" Coyote questioned.

"Whatever it is, it's gotta be dangerous." Fanboy replied.

"They've got the best of the best here, who the hell were they gonna get to teach us?" Said Phoenix.

"Not everyone's the best." Y/N murmured into the drink, but was heard by everyone.

"What's that supposed to mean Mitchell?" Rooster said, standing up straight.

"Oh I think you know what it means." She said as a matter of fact.

"Really? I don't think I'm the one who slashed the tires of my bicycle just cause I came at second place." He said, bringing up the past.

"At least I didn't go home crying to mommy when I lost." She replied, making the squad laugh.

"Wait you did that," Hangman said, chuckling.

"Shut up." Rooster said, turning back to Y/N, enough had a gery satisfied look on her face.

Even after years of not seeing him she knew exactly how to push his buttons.

Rooster was just about to reply before Phoenix stepped in. "Okay kids, you can do this later. Right now, let's just get shit faced."

Both of them went away from each other, Y/N to the bar and Rooster to the piano. Soon enough a crowd gathered around him as he started playing Great Balls of Fire.

Y/N looked at him from afar, thinking of how he'd always been the musically gifted one out of the two of them. She could feel that this mission was going to be different from the rest, yet the danger of not knowing didn't stop her from being excited.

--------------------------------

The next day, everyone had gathered on the deck waiting for their briefing. Phoenix sat with Bob, Hangman up front, Rooster right behind him, Payback and Fanboy behind him, Y/N beside the two of them and Coyote, up front next to Hangman.

"Morning. Welcome to you special training detachment. This detachment will be rough. Half of you will be chosen for it. One of you will be named mission leader. And the other half will go back to reserves. Your instructor is one of the finest pilots this program has ever produced. His exploits are legendary. What he has to teach you may very well mean the difference between life and death. Captain Pete Mitchell. Callsign: Maverick."

Admiral Bates spoke, before stepping back as everyone sat down, looking back to see Captin Pete 'Maverick' Mitchell walking up to the podium.

Rooster glanced between Y/N and Mavrick, knowing that this wasn't going to he the easiest mission ever. Hangman flinched as well upon seeing him. By now Mavrick was holding up the F18 manual. "The F18's. I'm sure every one of you knows this book cover to cover." He spoke, looking throughout the crowd of pilots before him.

Variations of 'damn straight' and 'hell yeah' were given from some of the guys. "Yeah, well so does your enemy." Maverick spoke, throwing the manual down and into the trashcan next to his podium. "What your enemy doesn't know is your limits. And I plan to test them, push them, and expand them. Let's get started." He spoke, giving a cocky smile and nodded off to the where the F18's are.

Dogfighting is a skill all pilots must have. It's practically essential. Everyone should have it. And that is what they did today. First Phoenix and Bob went and barely made it out. Then Payback and Fanboy came back destroyed. Pete came back in and selected his next paring.

"Give me Birdie." He said. All eyes were on her now, and her eyes were on her dad's. She knew she was a good flyer, but she knew she would have to get a bloddy good wingman to beat him. Yale got up with her, as her wingman, but was quickly told to sit down by Mavrick.

"Yale, you're Hangman's wingman. Birdie , you get Rooster." And with that the captin was out. It was as if he'd dropped a bomb. Everyone got quite and very still. Even Hangman was tensed. Showing no emotion Y/N walked to her F-18, followed by Rooster.

"Don't screw this up for me Bradshaw." Birdie shouted over the loud noise of the F-18s.

"It should be the other way Mitchell."

With that they were both in the air. No words were spoken for quite some time, till Y/N asked "Where is he?"

Looking for him. Almost immediately Rooster said "Under you." And out came the oldest captin of the navy. He got out in front of Birdie, with her hot on his tail. Mavrick knew she would soon get tone on him, and he couldn't let that happen. They kept going for a few minutes till Mavrick came to a sudden stop, the only way to beat her, making Y/N fly forward, getting tone on her.

"That's a kill." He said as Birdie cursed under her breath. "Where's you wingman?"

"Right here." Rooster said, flying behind Mavrick not as quickly as he used to.

"You might wanna go a little faster if you don't wanna die." Commented Y/N, to which Rooster said noting. Soon enough, Rooster was dead as well.

"That's a kill as well. You know the whole point of having a wingman is for him to have your back. I expected more. From the both of you." Said Mavrick, when they landed. "Meet Hondo for your pushups."

They high landed their planes and went to Hondo for their pushups.

"You know." Y/N started with a little strain in her voice. "I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you stupidity."

"Right, as if you're perfect." Rooster scoffed, continuing with his pushups.

"I wasn't the one who abandoned you."

"Abandoned?!"

"Yes, abandoned. You're supposed to be my wingman, you're supposed to look out from me not fantasies about sex up there." Y/N said.

"Oh fuck you Mitchell." Rooster said, looking over to Y/N.

"I'm flattered, really, but no thanks." Her reply even got Hondo to Crack a little smile, but it was gone quickly when he saw Maverick approaching.

"Quit yapping and finish your pushups." He said as Maverick crossed them, looking down to see the two sweaty pilots shooting daggers at each other.

"Still the same." He murmered under his breath, shaking his head with a little smile on his face.

---------------------------------

The next week had been the same. Maverick would intentionally put Bradley and Y/N together, they would go up, something would go wrong and they would end up doing 200 pushups everyday.

One evening, when they had just finished doing their pushups, Y/N approached Bradley near the locker rooms.

"Hey." She said. "What's your problem?"

"What do you mean?" He said, pretending as if he didn't know excatly what she meant.

"You know what I mean." She said.

"I don't want to have this conversation right now." He sighed, moving towards the door of the mens room, but Y/N came in between them.

"I don't care if you want to have this conversation or not. We will have this conversation right now." She said with her hands on her hips. "I have absolutely no regards for whatever it is you going through right now Bradshaw, all I care about is that I go on this mission. So whatever the problem is with you, whatever problem you have with my father, work through it. Or so help me good I will make your life a living hell."

After a moments silence, Bradley said in a hushed voice, "It's you."

"What?''

"It's you, you're my problem. ever since you came back into my life everything I have been doing is goin wrong, I can't fly straight, I can't do my tasks straight, I can't think straight, and its all because of you."

"Because of me?" She said, wit a scoff.

"Yes you." He said with his voice a little raised. "You're the bane of my existence."

Y/N gasped and hit him in shoulder saying "I loathe you."

He did the same, also saying "I loathe you."

"I loathed you first." Y/N said getting dangerously close to Bradley's face.

"Oh yeah?" He said.

"Yeah." She replied, but before she had the time to say anything else, Bradley grabbed the back of her neck and pushed her lips into his. A few seconds later, Y/N replicated the kiss and deepened it, putting her arms on his shoulders. But the kiss didn't last long.

"I shouldn't have done that." Bradley said, pulling away and taking a step back.

"Yeah you shouldn't have." Murmured Y/N, her lips still tingling from the kiss.

"I should go." Bradley said, walking away quickly, leaving Y/N standing in the hallway, wondering why they had just done that.

-------------------------------------------

The next day, they both refused to even look at each other. No snide remarks were made abut the other, they didn't say a word to each other. That was also the day when they had decided to stay in.

"Hey are you okay?" Whispered Bob standing in front of Y/N.

"Yeah, why?" Y/N whispered back.

"Nothing." Bob replied. "You're just acting a little different today."

"Different how?"

"Different like you haven't slit Rooster's throat till now." Phoenix jumped into the conversation.

"You know we don't always have to be at each other's throat." Y/N replied, trying to hid whatever feeling she was having at the moment, glancing at Rooster.

On hearing this reply, Bob put his hand on Y/N forehead, as Phoenix said, "Are you sick?"

"No, I'm not sick." Y/N replied, swatting Bob's hand away. "I'm fine, okay. Rooster and I are fine. Just because we aren't on the verge of killing each other doesn't mean that I've stopped hating him, maybe it just means he hasn't done anything stupid today." Y/N said, walking away.

"But you told me even his breathing is stupid." Bob said quietly as Phoenix patted him on his back.

-----------------------------------

The same night, after the squad had returned from The Hard Deck, Bob decided to get to the bottom of things. He was determined to know what was going on, what was wrong.

"Hey Rooster." He said when it was just him and the boys in the his room. "Is everything okay?"

"Yeah." Rooster replied, a little tipsy. "I'm on top of the world."

"No, no. Is everything alright with you and Y/N??" Bob specified.

"Yeah, I hate her, she hates me, we've never been better." Rooster replied.

"The why were you staring at her the whole night." Bob pointed out.

"Its nothing Bob." Sighed Bradley.

"Oh come on Rooster, you can tell me anything."

"I don't know what to tell you Bob." Rooster started, gaining the attention of all the boys. "Ever since we've been kids, she's been getting on my nerves. We've been constantly fighting, about whose better at maths or about who can read more books and now about whose the better pilot. And then we went our serrate ways, but the we met again. And now I have to deal with her nd her stupid smile, her stupid hair, her stupid laugh, the stupid way she bits her lips when she's concentrating. I can't sleep, I cant eat, maybe I'm coming down with something."

"Oh, I know what you've got buddy. The 'L' word." Bob said.

"Yeah," Hangman jumped in. "Leprosy."

"No Jake, it's four letters. Starts with L ends with E."

"Yeah." He said. "Lice."

"No, Rooster, my friend, is in love." Bon corrected.

"Oh yeah, love." All the boys started repeating the word again and again.

"You mean with Y/N?" Rooster said. "No."

"Oh she has gotten under your skin." Coyote said in a sing song voice.

"Come on." Fanboy said.

"Admit it." Payback added.

"No, no you guys are dead wrong." Rooster said getting up. "I'm going home."

"Rooster and Birdie sitting in a tree K-I-S-S-I-N-G." All the boys started to chant as Jake shouted, "You're in love pussycat."

"Ha, ha. Real mature guys.

Just as he was about to leave, Bob called from behind, "Het Rooster, I never said in love with Y/N."

----------------------------

That night while laying in bed Rooster's mind kept taking him back to all the instances in which he had claimed to hate Y/N. All the times he had said or done something so vile, he'd never thought Y/N could have toped it, yet she always did.

Maybe this was just his way of coping with things, coping with not being able to be with her. He knew that it was wrong of him to disrespect he wishes of never dating a pilot in her life, but he just couldn't help but want something with Y/N.

Having enough of tossing and turning in his bed, Rooster decided to go out for a walk on the beach. The beach at night always seemed to clam him down. Walking on the beach he expected to find loads of lovers sniggling, drunk guys laying there, but what he never expected to find was Y/N.

She was sitting near the waves, looking at the distant sea. Rooster contemplated going to her or not, he went with the former.

"Hey there stranger." He said sitting down next to her.

"Hi." She replied with a sigh. "What're you doing here?"

"I could ask you the same thing." Rooster replied.

"Well I asked first." She said.

"Fine." He replied. "I couldn't sleep."

"The thoughts of Mrs. Jackson still bothering you?"

"That was the fifth grad." Bradley said raising his voice a little. "Could you please let that go?"

"I will never." She replied, leaning a little towards him, laughing. "Seriously, were you thinking of her once again?"

"No, I wasn't."

"Oh really?"

"Yes really."

"Lying doesn't suit you sweetheart."

"I was thinking about you." Bradley told her, making he shut up at once.

"I was thinking about you, your stupid laugh, and your awful smile, and how I can't seen to get you off of my mind."

"You don't really mean that." Y/N whispered.

"I do Y/N. I really do." He said, looking at her with a loving expression.

"Don't do that."

"Do what?"

"Don't you dare look at me like that, not after every vile thing we've done to each other."

"I can't help it Y/N, I can't. Ever since I saw you again at the hard deck, I can't get you off of my mind. Morning, noon and night I think about you. I love you Y/N."

"No, don't do this." Y/N said looking away.

"Just give me a cha-"

"Brad, I already told you, I can't be with pilots. You are all the same, you fall in love, you give us false promises and then you leave." Y/N said.

"I'm not like the other pilots you've dated."

"How can I trust you?" She said. "After everything."

"I guess you can't." Rooster said, getting up and walking away.

As Y/N watched him leave, her mind travelled to all the time she swore she hated him, and now all her mind could come up with was that she loves him too. She loves his stupid hair, and his stupid mustache, his laugh and the way he plays piano. She loves everything about him.

Getting up, she ran after him to try and catch up to him, and she did.

"Bradshaw." She called out, but he didn't look back. "Bradshaw, Bradley."

He finally stopped and looked back at her. She walked up to him and whispered, "I thought I got rid you."

This time it was her who pulled him in for a kiss. He reacted quickly, grabbing her face and caressing it. They both broke away to get some air when Y/N said,

"If you muck me about Brad."

"I swear, I won't." Rooster said, resting his forehead on hers.

"Lead me on, let me down or go behind my back, I'll murder you."

"I won't, I promise." Rooster said cracking a smile.

"You swear?" She said.

"Yeah, I swear."

Ok good you've finally seen it. What gets me in atsv (at least the version I watched) Miguel isn't even stated as having and loosing a family BEFORE he just up and leaves for that other dimension. Like dude decided he wanted a different life and a family and went and took up someone else's, instead of starting his own.

I was thinking about this last night and I eventually went back and watched the scene and it's like. Yeah bro you're right they do in fact never specify if he even had a family before

In the comics, he loses his pregnant fiance, and I, assumedly with a bunch of other people, was just kind of assuming that he had the same backstory in ATSV and it was sometime after her death that he tried a second time around. I'm assuming the canon he broke by going to another universe was HIS OWN canon: as a Spider, you are apparently supposed to lose your first love/first crush and move on, but by him jumping ship into another universe, that was breaking the rules (*cough cough* "but what if Miguel realizes being with Reader in his own universe doesn't break canon and he goes apeshit with it" *cough cough*)

But GOD wouldn't it be fucked up if it really was as literal as the way he phrased it. "I found another universe where I was happy" not "I found a universe where my family survived" is kind of sus phrasing. Like yeah bro you technically uh stole the life of a completely different person and helped raise his daughter and presumedly fucked his wife

But one thing a few people have mentioned that kind of took a while to sink in was like. Him losing that second family was RECENT. He didn't form the Spider Society until sometime after Miles became Spiderman, which he's only been wearing the mask for about a year and a half. Peter B was in the flashback where Miguel lost his second family, so like. It's literally been less than two years since Miguel accidentally broke canon. This man has some piping hot FRESH TRAUMA like he's probably still in a stage of grief???

Like I understand he's an antagonist but I'll be legit angry if he becomes like monstrously evil and it becomes "oh no we gotta defeat miguel" in the third movie because his trauma and his actions are completely understandable, like he could be an antagonist but he better not be like Final Boss. Like yeah yeah "he's technically killing people by not letting people break canon" but I mean as far as he's concerned, for all that he knows, what the evidence shows and what he's lead to believe, saving one person could potentially kill an entire universe and destabilize others so like. YEAH it sucks but no one should have to explain the math. Like the man literally had a small child he was helping raise literally vanish in his own arms as she cried "dad help" and people are like "UGH MIGUEL IS EVIL" like bro at the WORST he is obsessed with making up for his sins, dude isn't DELIBERATELY tryna cause shit. Like when you really get into analysis mode you can completely understand why he's so angry at Miles, Miguel was literally chanting "no puedo mas" ie "I can't anymore" at the concept of another hole being torn in the multiverse, like he's literally shouting and throwing shit around because for him it's "oh great here we fucking go, tons and tons of people will die if I don't get this under control, when does it end, how do i fix this"

His line on top of the train really kind of cements it, where he's all "and I'm the only one who's been keeping everything together" because he's not saying that from some source of narcissism, he's BURDENED by this, he's TRAPPED by this, but he feels a responsibility and a duty to make up for what he did. The man is essentially using his role leading the Spider Society as a punishment for breaking canon.

"Miguel is selfish" "Miguel is evil" bro Miguel is literally just one really really bad accident away from straight up killing himself, like tearing his own hair out as he beats his head into a wall. Miguel is like when you're so extremely stressed out that when you dropped your fresh toast on the floor jelly-down you legit contemplated suicide "because why can't even one thing go right for me". This man is hanging on by a thread but like I'm convinced the third movie will have a happy ending because it just. Doesn't feel right if it doesn't? The entire first two movies were about finding your own identity and making your own expectations and I feel like the whole canon event narrative inherently challenges what the movies stand for, so, really interested in seeing how the third movie goes, waiting will fucking kill me, and also with all the articles coming out about ATSV having insane crunch, I have a good feeling Beyond The Spiderverse is gonna be delayed. I kinda like that though because like, idk, do you guys ever get sad when a show or series ends. It's like the journey is over and then you move on and kind of forget about everything. I'm enjoying these movies and these characters and I don't mind marinating with em a little while longer

#reader is basically miguels emotional support animal lmao. you keep him from going just a little TOO crazy #atsv spoilers #just to be safe lol #i remember reading about adhd and object permanance and stuff and j wonder if thats why i drop shit so fast sometimes #because then it isnt 'there' and present for me to interact with and enjoy idk

ya know i've gotta ask seiakimon for the bingo

I LOVE THEM ACK <333

Ok uhh fuck how do I talk about them without my brain turning to mush uhh warning for incoherent rambling

okay so the end of the anteiku raid. I have reread that part of the arc so many times cause <33 Like Akira's worried about Amon so Seidou runs off while lamenting how he always watched her from the side and never could really confront his feelings for her and then he finds Amon and then he sees that he's injured and when Tatara shows up Amon tries to tell him to run away cause Amon doesn't want to lose anyone else he cares about but Seidou refuses because he says he's a ghoul investigator and he became a ghoul investigator to protect the people he cares about (his family) right so it also makes sense that he would bring it up here because he's also trying to do that he's trying to protect both Amon and also Akira to an extent because he knows she cares about him and he just wants them to be happy and oh god this whole sentence is an entire paragraph. Anyway Seidou gets chomped and AKIRAS REFLECTED IN HIS EYES BECAUSE EVEN THOUGH HES DYING HES THINKING ABOUT HER. Oh and also the way Amon SCREAMS when Seidou gets "killed." He literally throws away the very very tiny amount of regard he had for his own life and goes in to try and kill Tatara despite literally having lost an arm and also presumably a lot of blood.

Okay uh then we have Rushima which HOLY SHIT. They all tried to kill/save each other which is kinda funny but also SJFSFSFKJL. FUCKING. Okay and Seidou tells Akira that he wanted her to see him as a hero and then Akira calls him a killer ghoul but okay in my head she's not just telling him that she's also trying to convince herself of that and that killing him really is the only option or maybe I'm looking too far into this ANYWAY. And then Amon comes out to save both of them because he cares about both of them and he also closes his kakugan whenever it's in Akira's view because he's scared of her seeing him as a monster or something. And also even though Seidou's killed a ton of people and is probably considered a monster even by ghoul standards Amon's still like "oh he deserves a second chance." Okay buddy. AND THEN THE SCENE WHERE AKIRA SHIELDS SEIDOU BECAUSE DEEP DOWN SHE ALWAYS CARED ABOUT HIM AND SKJLHFIU:OIS:DJH And then Amon protects them to make sure Akira and Seidou get away safely and ACK

Also uh they go on a date that one time :) And Amon is too busy eating skewers to fully notice the extent of the chaos around him :) Ok my brain is mush now there's so much more to talk about but I lost like 12 out of 15 braincells while writing this which is probably nothing compared to the amount anyone who had the misfortune of reading this lost. Anyway uh if you can't tell uh I like this ship :>

#my rambles #ask #every time there's a keysmash that's a part where my brain bluescreened #I am not joking when I say this ship makes my brain turn to mush I genuinely can't think coherent thoughts about this any more #anyway yeah there's so much more I could talk about like all the little moments that have together individually and shit <3 #ourgh this ship is my life now #fun fact I somehow tricked my brain into thinking this is canon #this is a problem #but now whenever I introduce my friends to tg I can subtly manipulate them into shipping them #what are these tags what am I saying #I'm going to stop talking before I actually lose every last crumb of sanity I have

SR Kalim Al-Asim Beastly Garb Personal Story: Part 2

"No can do!"

(Part 1) Part 2

[Sunset Savanna – Arena]

Referee: Now the second round will begin!!

Kalim: I lost my first match, so… I have to move just as Leona said this time.

Kalim: I gotta make sure I don't get my beads taken…

Woman on Opposing Team: You're not going to attack? Then I'll have to make the first move. Hah!!

Kalim: Now!

Woman on Opposing Team: Oh no, a counter!?

Kalim: Haah!

Woman on Opposing Team: H-He just jumped aside. He was just trying to get away. Whew, that startled me. But this time, I'll definitely…

Kalim: Hup!

[shup]

Woman on Opposing Team: Hey, stop running away!

Kalim: Sorry, no can do!

[dash]

Woman on Opposing Team: [heavy breathing] …This kid's been dancing around the ring the whole time…

Referee: That's time! This match is a draw!

Woman on Opposing Team: A draw!? Urgh, what an incomprehensible way to end the match…

Kalim: Yay, just as planned!

Kalim: I'm gonna keep it up for the next one too!!

[Sunset Savanna – Sunrise City]

―After the Catch the Tail victory

Kalim: …Wheeew, the wind feels so good!

Leona: Sorry to ruin your fun, but the little drive is over.

Leona: Once we park the car, we're going back to campus right away. Kalim should head back to the hotel as soon as possible…

Vil: Oh? There's a large number of cars coming this way at breakneck speeds.

Vil: Perhaps it's [Yuu] and the others?

Lilia: No, wait. That is…

Jamil: KALIM… I FINALLY FOUND YOU!!!

Scalding Sands Staff Members: KALIM-SAMA～～～!

Kalim: Jamil! Everyone!

Leona: Your entourage came at the perfect time, huh.

Lilia: They're all drenched in sweat. Looks like they were really rushing to catch up to us.

Scalding Sands Staff Members: K-Kalim-sama! Are you hurt!?

Kalim: Nope. Did you watch my matches?

Jamil: YEAH I SAW!!!!

Kalim: We won, you know! It feels so good!

Jamil: Do you really think now's the time to talk about that!?

Jamil: Can you even imagine how much everyone was worried about you…? And anyway, why was a guest of honor like you participating in the tournament in the first place!?

Kalim: That's because Jack collapsed… Oh, wait, I was supposed to keep that a secret.

Jamil: "Keep that a secret"? Is someone forcing you to stay silent about this?

Jamil: Don't tell me… Leona-senpai, were you the cause of all this?

Leona: The cause? Hey now, you're trying to paint me in a bad light, here.

Leona: All I did was rely on the kindness of my "friend" here. Right, Kalim?

Kalim: Yeah! Jack couldn't participate in the tournament, and it looked like everyone was in a bind.

Kalim: If there's anyone in trouble, it's only natural to try to help them, right? That's why I ended up joining them!

Jamil: Kalim, you were invited to this festival, not as a competitor, but as a guest.

Jamil: Your job here was to further the friendly ties between our countries. Not to enter in the tournament!

Jamil: What would you have done if you had gotten hurt!?

Kalim: Hahaha. You worry too much! See, I'm never better!

Jamil: That's not the point…

Townperson A: Heeey, you guys! We saw your match on the TV. Congrats on the win!

Lilia: Oho, those guys… They're the guys we had a jam session with back at the Raintree Market this morning.

Kalim: You're right! You guys all came.

Kalim: We just drove through a ton of rain. I bet it's going to start raining over here soon, too.

Townperson B: That's great!

Townperson A: Yeah. I bet it's all thanks to you guys for livening up the festival!

Townperson B: Did you come from a different country?

Kalim: Yeah. I was born in the Scalding Sands.

Townperson A: Wow. If there's more people like you there, the Scalding Sands must be a great place.

Kalim: It's an amazing country! If you ever get the chance, you should come and visit!

Townperson A: Yeah! Bye then.

Leona: Looks like he was able to further the ties between the countries as the heir to the Asim family there.

Jamil: …That is not what I mean at all. You of all people should understand what I mean, Leona-senpai.

Kalim: Hm? Isn't it better if everyone gets along, though?

Jamil: Sigh... We're not getting through to each other at all. Why does this always happen?

Kalim: I got to sightsee, train, and compete with everyone and had a blast…

Kalim: Oh, yeah! Next time, you should join us in Catch the Tail, Jamil!

Leona: Heh, that'd be great. If Jamil was there, that'd be a load off my back.

Kalim: You think so too, Leona!?

Jamil/Scalding Sands Staff Member: …

Jamil: I never… I never want to come to Sunset Savanna ever again.

Kalim: That was a really amazing trip. I can't wait to come back to Sunset Savanna with everyone again!

No better way to end a Friday than with a review. We are in the home stretch of s1 still crazy to me. Excited each time get to write up my reviews. So thank you all for your interest and support as always. Lets dive in to the third to last ep shall we?

1x18

Homefront.

After having a non Chenford ep always happy to have them back together. Loved dissecting Lucy and having insight into her family life but I missed them. They don't have a ton of content in this one. Pretty Talia driven one but what they do have is really good. Underrated moments in this ep for them IMO.

Our first shot of our fav duo is at the hospital. They’re visiting a released convict they were assigned to check up on. Tim makes a comment about filling his hours when not studying. To him it makes the most sense to fill his dead time with work. Lucy is immediately all over that comment. Because Lucy don't play around at all when it comes to Tim. She knows that isn't healthy for him. She starts probing as to why he doesn't have a hobby. She's genuinely surprised he doesn't have a way to decompress/recharge.

His first answer cracks me up it’s so Tim. Also how he adds in for her not to give him shit cause it has 'work' in the title LOL He knows her so well. He tries to combat her answer before she even says it. Lucy doesn’t deny she thinks that anyway. Goes on to say he needs something for himself. A way to decompress. Maybe even have a little fun. Gotta love her for trying to get him out of his comfort zone. He’s a creature of habit and doesn’t like that to be upended. Lucy is very aware of this and can't help herself but to challenge him on it.

The eye roll she gives him is primo. She knows this is going to be an uphill battle per usual. Tim fights her on it because its his natural first instinct. He always fights her on it and she always ends up seeping in. Jolting his system and POV on things. I do love him opening and holding the door for her. Ever the gentleman even when they’re arguing hehe

This shot is just because they're so pretty just standing together haha. That's it really. I mean look at them. Their Tall/Small thing never ceases to make me happy. Also Tim's stance pretty damn appealing tbh. I mean look at dem biceps. It's a wonder Lucy gets any work done haha

They respond to a call at a paintball place. A guy named Jimmy has lost it and impaled another player with a piece of wood over the game. Go on to tell them he plays there every day. He'll be hard to find. They head off to find Jimmy. Lucy does not waste a second before she is giving him more crap. So damn sassy with him. Using this guy's obsession to prove her point about why its bad to be focusing on one thing too much. They were married long before they ever dated people haha Lucy is so smug in this moment. Makes me happy haha

Tim defaults to what he usually does when’s she got him dead to rights. Clams up. Tells her to shut it cause that’s the best come back he has at the moment. LOL The smile on her face when she says ‘Yes sir’ Lucy knows that ‘shut it’ is just him annoyed he has no witty comeback. Lucy is reveling in the fact he can’t fight her on this one. No leg to stand on and he knows it.

They start searching the paintball area for their suspect. Lucy makes a comment about it would be easier if everyone wasn’t wearing camo. Tim gives her his company line about this job isn’t meant to be easy. She instantly disregards it and asks him if he’s ever played paintball? Trying to peak his interest. His reply cracks me up. Not a doubt in his mind he would crush these people at this. Her face is what kills me the most. That’s the wifey face. Placating him like ok babe....

I also love her blowing past his TO line earlier haha Very early on Lucy would’ve said yes sir or nodded. We’re long past those days even in s1. Especially at this point in time. That rapport and comfortability has come to stay. She’s on a mission to find him a hobby to help him relax. Bypasses Teacher Tim without blinking.

Tim starts to explain why he would straight destroy these people at paintball. Using one of the players as an example. Also Timothy there is no need to lean so close when explaining strategy to her sir heh But he does it anyway and she’s grinning like a fool. I’ve always loved the magnetic pull these two have between them. Whether they’re aware of it or not. Personal space is word not found in their vocabulary. Clearly passionate about what he's telling her so he gets closer. I love it.

Look at the way she is looking at him. Goodness girl you are working. That look on her face. You know she’s indulging him right now. Letting him ramble about how everyone is amateurs. How he would go about it. Tim has no idea he’s giving her fuel to get him to play. Always looking out for him even when he doesn’t have a damn clue she is. Taking care of him and putting his needs first. I can not with them. I love it so much.

They end up going to higher ground where Jimmy would be. They find him and Tim is sexy af stopping his escape. Grabs a players gun and easily decimates him with paint. Don’t tell me she wasn’t the slightest bit impressed with him nailing that guy with the paint gun. But it’s also reinforcing her idea about paintball for him.

That little smirk of hers before she hooks Jimmy up. Just like in 1x15 Lucy is all smiles and heart eyes for him in this ep. She is also a little bit wifey like in her reactions. Like yeah he’s an idiot but he’s my idiot. That second gif above says it all for that for that.

Ahhh the hanging out, outside work begins ❤️ Look at her dragging him outside his comfort zone like only she can. I bet you she pitched it one last time to Tim as a hobby. Something he could do to destress/relax. That it would be fun. He probably didn’t have to twist her arm too much to join him. That he would only do it if she came with. I could see Tim doing this so he could show and or prove to Lucy he could smoke everyone at this like he said. A little flex on his part. Coming in armed with a plan ready to execute it with her.

He looks so happy. She did that. It's written all over Lucy's face how happy she is that he's enjoying himself. That little smile on his face as they’re gearing up to go in. My heart. He’s so excited to do this. It’s why Lucy is beaming. She got Tim outside his routine and into something she knew he would love. He’s smiling and ready to have some fun. Not that he will say as such but everything in his body language does. Once again that beautiful silent communication of theirs is a sight to see.

His half hearted 'No' has Lucy smiling and laughing. She is beyond pleased with herself for this. Anyone looking at them without context would be able to see how she feels about him. I saw this great post by relentlessescapsim had a collection of Lucy unabashedly looking at Tim. Being as transparent as she could be. It said ‘She’s a ten but she’s terrible at hiding her feelings. ‘ I died laughing cause it so friggin true. You just watch her entire body language around Tim and you know. You just know he’s far more than her T.O. to her. I mean its clearly her day day off and Lucy is spending it with him. She's doing his new 'hobby' with him. I love it sfm.

Lucy challenges and pushes Tim same way he does for her. Been saying this all season his growth is incredible. Look at this puppy of a man playing paintball with her. Once again doing something he wouldn’t have for any other rookie. Incredible. He's continually allowing her to influence him which is huge in itself. Its constantly seen through out the entire season. This was her challenging that bubble of his that rigid routine. Lucy pushed because in the end she knew he would benefit from it. What good it would do him. She was right.

Tim says 'No' when really he's so glad she got him to do this. He can't say it just yet but his actions scream it. They balance one another out so well I could not adore their dynamic more. Damn I just love them so much haha. How good they are for each other. The fact that it dates back to s1 for multiple reasons is amazing.

It's why they’re so good in s5 once they get together. That beautiful base is already there and solid as hell. I love the idea of them playing paintball and having fun. Its lovely to see such beautiful depth and development for them. Such a good episode for them top to bottom. *chef kiss*

Side Notes Non Chenford

Cute Wes/Angela stuff I always enjoy them so much.

Stuff with Jackson's dad was also very good. Watching him stand up to his dad was awesome.

Percy asking why Grey didn't stick Jackson with Tim. My god that boy wouldn't have made it without Angela. He has no idea. Tim would've washed his ass out so quickly. Hell Tim might not even be around cause of his bullet issues in the beginning. So very good he was not. Everything happens for a reason and all that.

Thank you all again for you likes/comments/reblogs. Every time I get a notification for them makes my heart smile for real. See you all in 1x19 :)

Okay So i had a brain blast about my ship with alastor so this is gonna be the Definite Kewpie x Alastor Ship Post that covers everything i have so far about it ↷↷↷

so this whole thing starts because somehow someway i get a demon attached to me as a kid, a toddler even, dont really know how or why, but because of this my whole life growing up is plagued by insane near death experiences all orchestrated by this demon (this is based on some real shit in my life btw, not to sound superstitious or anything and i dont even think i believe in demons of any denomination but there was some Weird Shit going on, i might talk about it someday) and by the time im an adult ive tired everything under the sun to stop these things from happening- different religious practices, spells and charms and rituals and so on and so forth im at my god damn limit im so tired

eventually im pushed to try to fight fire with fire, and end up summoning Another demon to try and idk cancel out the old one? make a deal to keep me safe? not sure What my plan was but i'd come this far and i didnt know where else to turn

well the demon i summoned was alastor. he wasnt even my intended target, in fact of demon of his power shouldnt really be able to be summoned at all under normal circumstances, and would require someone with a ton of power of their own to pull it off (havent decided if this is something i managed to do because of all the varied rituals etc mentioned earlier, or some dumb luck) and that alone is kind of intriguing for him

tbh he hasnt been summoned in a While, its something that got lost to time and he kinda assumed it would never happen again, and even when it happened before he would usually just kill the person without bothering to strike a deal, cause even people who did manage to do it usually werent strong enough to do it safely

but hell has been kinda Boring lately, the hotel hasnt given him as much entertainment as he had hoped (this is like. mid season 1, and with the understanding that the story stretches way longer than the breakneck speed the actual show takes) and he sees this as an opportunity for something interesting to do for a while

when he hears what im looking for, he's gotta laugh about it- there's no way this other demon that had attached to me would give him any trouble, and this was a great way to guarantee he get another soul when i eventually died anyway, so he offers up this deal:

for a few hours a day he gets complete control over my body, a full on possession to do whatever he wants with that time.

obviously im hesitant, but we go back and forth on it a bit before deciding to make the deal with some ground rules (like he cant do anything thats gonna get me killed prematurely for example- after all im doing this specifically so i dont die by another demon's hand)

so we strike the deal! no all he has to do is get rid of that other demon and my soul is as good as his! its not that simple tho of course- he's not sure how the demon is accessing the living world, and figures its likely similar to what he's doing- somehow tethering himself to the living world, while their actual physical body is still in hell, so he needs to figure that out on his end, and it ends up being a more difficult task than previously expected- so he could be dealing with something older and more powerful than he realizes.

he'll figure that out later tho, he's got living stuff to do! at first he's v dismissive when i ask him what he could possibly want to be doing with my body, like what was he even planning to get up to, but he cant keep me completely in the dark about it cause im still sorta There when im possessed- its a bit like lucid dreaming where you're aware that you're dreaming, but not quite aware enough to control what you're Doing in the dream, and over time i become more and more present the longer he's possessing me

so eventually he admits that he's curious about what happened after he died- he was a bit of a celebrity when he was alive after all, he's sure it would cause Quite a stir when it was revealed after he died that he was a criminal- a moonshiner for one, but a serial killer and cannibal! he wants to know if there was a media circus, where he was buried, wants to visit his old stomping grounds, and so on and so forth. this leads me on all kinds of adventures through the deep south, the dusty aisles of libraries and newpaper archives, old graveyards, and so on, all the while we keep getting more comfortable and close despite ourselves

and eventually i realize that he isnt actually interested in what happened to himself after his death, he's actually using all this to try and find out what happened to his mother. she was Not a local celebrity, and his infamy was so large that it eclipsed most of the people he knew in life, so tracking it all down was kind of a hassle. but he was and is a mama's boy, and he wanted to know if she lived a good life

now all of this eventually winds down to figuring out why there was that first demon attached to me, probably some fucked up nonsense a little while back in my family tree or something (tbh im not sure how much i want to focus on the how and why but we'll see) and we get that settled finally as well as finding out how alastor's mom's life played out and put him at east there, and all that's left is to simply live my life until i die, where i'll go to hell and alastor will have my soul to keep (we're v cozy at this point and quite comfortable cohabiting a body and mind space so he's not particularly eager to completely break the tether until my time comes)

and the thing about sharing a mindspace with something extremely dangerous and powerful that has just enough sway over the world around you to keep you safe in a bad situation, or even fully take over your body to get you out of it, is that you feel v confidant most of the time and fear isnt really something you deal with anymore, so i frequently go wandering around the woods at night for example because im sure nothing can really touch me when i have a demon for a companion

a demon in your head cant protect you from a bullet however, and maybe i should have known better than wandering the woods at night during deer season, and maybe the unholy aura i had around me hit the moonlight just wrong and the hunter thought he was aiming for the silhouette of a creature with antlers, and then i was dead

and then i wake up in hell

if this was a fic, at this point it would be like the 'part 2' (and who knows if i iron it out enough maybe i Will write it sometime) and im not sure exactly what i want to do about it just yet obviously it would loosely follow the canon of the show, just with a lot of extra stuff thrown in. maybe in 'part 1', we didnt actually Kill the other demon, just broke away from it, and its still in hell somewhere, fuming about losing my soul, or maybe finding out about his mom actually did Not put alastor at ease- maybe his actions made her life very difficult and now he has to deal with knowing that and i can use that as a catalyst to him getting redeemed to see her again in heaven, not sure yet!

but i do know a big part of the interpersonal situation is that we dont share that mindspace anymore, we're just physically There Together and tbqh its really difficult to cope with. we both got so used to it that we feel like something's missing now, and we might even go so far as to try to find a way to reestablish that mental link, or maybe there's still echoes of it lingering, but only if we're asleep or something like that

like i said, still ironing out the hell part of it all, but thats what ive got! much to think about much to think about

and to add to this- some stray little Thoughts and Ideas to play around with in regards to this story:

while researching alastor's life and 'hunting grounds' we run into a copycat killer, probably someone who has a personal collection of alastor's things, works at a library maybe, who's always dreamed of following in his footsteps, and that decides i should be the first victim since im also sooo interested in alastor's 'work' that i surely wouldnt mind (i do, and so does alastor (he does Not consider imitation as flattery and who tf does this loser think they are coming after something that belongs to him (he's gotten attached)))

i for sure need to come up with more fun and awful little adventures like that

alastor's ability to effect and manipulate the living world around me through his powers alone (so like Not literally using my body for example, this is more like a poltergeist) is stronger when there's radio static playing in the air

going off the idea that the mental link gets stronger and clearer the long it lasts, maybe at sone point it gets so strong that one time when i go to sleep, i 'wake up' in a v similar state as when alastor was first possessing me, that floaty, kinda-lucid-kinda-not, excpet now im hitching a ride in His body in hell and at this point he's so used to having me as a v general and vague presense at the back of his mind that he doesnt even notice at first that im much more clearly and actively There- its a frightening idea for us both when the realization sets cause now we Really gotta face whays going on here and how far its gone

when i get shot by the hunter, alastor is actively co-piloting my body at the time, and since i headcanon he died in a similar fashion (bullet to the head) its like he experienced his own death all over again (something something tied even in our death etc etc) and he sort of 'wakes up' back in his body afterwards and after realizing what happened having to fight the urge to be seen frantically searching the streets for me now that i must be here

considering we Were linked up when i died, and the black mark this whole situation would leave on my soul, my demon form would probably echo his design

how far am i willing to go while alive to achieve our goals- ive definitely been put in situations where i needed to do harm for survival, but would i go further than that, not because i needed to, but because i wanted to? is it alastor's influence or something that i was always capable of? do i indulge in cannibalism? what about after im in hell, what then?

thinking on it, i think Will go with alastor's mom suffering from his life choices, and him having to deal with that, as Well as having to deal with that first demon in 'part 2' to carry over as an overarching plot

maybe we Both get redeemed but we dont actually like it in heaven like its too bright so we fuckin.

act up to get sent back (this is mostly jokey but could you imagine)

Hamildaddies Update

I have finished the first two songs

Alexander Hamilton/These Four Dads, yeah

Aaron Burr, Sir/Put Down That Phone, Son

Lyrics under the cut, pray for me :)

(also a TW for suicide, just in relation to Cern, it’s fleeting and unspecific)

These Four Dads, Yeah

ERIN

How would a vegan, rocker, son of a dick

And a coach dad, dropped in the middle of a forgotten spot

In the forgotten realms, by some guys in purple robed collars

Get out in time for them to play soccer

CERN

An extreme, green, man who's always oh so very keen

Dad to two whack tweens, who steal all his time to clean

Having to stand between

His kids and a naked tree

His crunchy munchiness is all part of his neat routine

SCAM LIKELY

And every day he would pray

his step son wouldn’t cast him away, would this be the day?

He struggled and kept his guard up

Inside he was longing for something to be apart of

The step dad was ready to be, steal, or borrow a father

RATTICUS FINCH

Then a guitar riff played, the Glenn Close Trio reigned

Christmas music now rise, rising from the grave

Put a doobie in his face hole, let it ease his brain

Donning an awesome belt chain, to cover up all the pain

PAEDEN

Well, the word got around, they said ‘damn this guy can coach, man’

Good at doing dishes, the kitchen is his main land

He quit his college education

On tax day he came

These dads, the words gonna know their names

The fuck are they man?

ENSEMBLE

These four dads, yeah

God please help these four dads, yeah

Your heart apart they will quickly tear

If you just wait, if you just wait

WALTER

With their kids they will split, various levels of tear ridden

In a short time they’ll have to find out where they’re hidden

Are they dead? Coping with being sick and brain thick?

And the longer we take the faster time seems to tick

YEET BIGLEY

They make some cool friends

One of which wants to commit suicide

His dead kids left him with broken pride

Nothing new inside

Henry says ‘McStuffins you gotta fend for yourself’

Which led to him retreating

A deck of cards placed placed on the shelf

DOUG

With their kids their conflicts they will have to try to dispute

Before they’re all dead or destitute

Without a cent of restitution

Dealing with scamming while lamming

Henry and Darryl being ignored

Ron and Glenn mostly enjoying being abroad

Scamming will become a real issue from now on

Planning seems impossible when you drive on

The issue at hand while in your cool van

ENSEMBLE

In the forgotten realms you can improve as a man

(If you just wait)

In the forgotten realms you can improve as a man

(If you just wait)

In the forgotten realms you can improve as a man

In the forgotten realms, forgotten realms

PAEDEN

If you just wait

ENSEMBLE

These four dads, yeah

(These four dads, yeah)

Mass destruction followed you

(Destruction followed you)

You never backed down

‘Cause you were running out of time

Oh, these four dads, yeah

(These four dads, yeah)

When all the friends you made sing for you

Will they know what you overcame?

That lives were lost to win the game?

Your world will never be the same, oh

ERIN

The van in in San Dimas now

See if you can spot them

They cannot possibly know

That they will hit rock bottom

CERN

Their fatherhood destroyed their rep in the world of forgotten

CERN

Me, I fought with them

ERIN

Me, I helped them

PAEDEN

Me, I loved them

SCAM LIKELY

And me?

I'm the awesome guy that scammed ‘em

Your hearts apart they’ll quickly tear

If you just wait

They fuck are they man?

These four dads, yeah!

Put Down That Phone, Son

ENSEMBLE

Two Thousand and Nineteen

San Dimas

DARRYL

Put down that phone once you’ve won, son

GRANT

What is it this time?

DARRYL

Oh well tons, son

You see I, Darryl Wilson have a task, son

We’ve got a job to do

GRANT

Oh goddamn it

DARRYL

Son, I know you love your soccer and I thought that maybe you could make some more friends

And you could get sorta buddy-buddy with that team of yours

If we carpool it could be fun, son

And look, there’s Glenn over there

GRANT

The weed one?

DARRYL

Yes!

Morning Glenn Close, I’ll have to shake your hand we’re not here for social revolution

GLENN

I look at him like he’s stupid

DARRYL

I’m not stupid

So, your sons smoking weed, ha, guess they grow up so fast

GLENN

He’s only thirteen, but why wait for more time to pass?

DARRYL

About the smoking weed, of course

I’ve done it, God, back in ninety-four

I smoked more weed than we possibly could have ever

Paid for

GLENN

Can I get in the car?

DARRYL

That would be nice

GLENN

While we’re talking let me offer you some free advice

Care less

DARRYL

What?

GLENN

Chillax more

DARRYL

GLENN

‘Cause why would you want to live life like that for?

DARRYL

You can’t be serious

GLENN

You wanna get ahead?

DARRYL

Yes

GLENN

Dads who are too square wind up dead

LARK

Ah-yuh-yo-yo-yo, yo!

What time is it

SPARROW

Show time!

GLENN

Stop that dread

LARK

Showtime, showtime! Yo!

I’m Lark Oak in the place to be

And I’m punching the absolute shit out of this tree

And even though my dad may frown at me

Violence is the coolest in the world, you see

SPARROW

Yes yes brother, that’s as true as it can get

I Sparrow am one half of the best twin set

My enemies have scars

I make them see spinning stars

We are cool and awesome and et-cet-e-ra

HENRY

Guys Guys, I am the Henry Oak

Just a bloke, don’t choke

I heard your mother say “it’s not a joke”

So I don’t wanna enforce nor endorse

Your energy ‘cause it’s your passions source

So if you could get right into the car, sons

And later you can continue with your little

HENRY, LARK AND SPARROW

Revolution!

HENRY

With my extensive environmental knowledge

I suppose carpooling is fine if it’s acknowledged?

TERRY JR

Good luck with that, I’m making you walk

Your shit oatmeal spit is even sick of your talk

I still don’t understand why the fuck you are here for

RON

I here ‘cause I’m your step dad

And you’re someone to cheer for

GRANT

Ugh, are we good, are we good, are we good?

DARRYL

Yes we should be good son, yes we should…
