TW: Characters die (but not really), A lot of angst TFRB x AEMH Crossover +MCU Event

Charlie took a sip of his coffee but something felt off. Something was telling him that something bad was going to happen. Trying to get his mind off of it, he grabbed the newspaper and began to read it.

"Alien Invasion In New York! Avengers Fight Leads Them To Wakanda!"

He wondered if Steve and the rest were doing well in the fight. After the Avengers leaving the island after doing who knows what, whenever Steve have the chance, he would visit him and Cody. Sometimes Tony would be with him, other times it was Bruce.

All he knew is that they were fighting aliens.

He took another sip of coffee and heard a scream. It came from downstairs. He dropped his coffee cup and rushed down the steps

He looked at the scene as his son, Graham, was disintegrating right in front of them. He couldn't speak, he couldn't scream. He didn't know what to think. Then, his friend, Boulder.

"DAD WHAT'S GOING ON?" Cody cried, tears streaming down his face. All Charlie could muster was, "I don't know son..." "I don't know..."

"It's not just us, Dad," Dani said pointing the TV, "It's everyone..." She weakly fell in Blades' hand as she disintegrated. Blades started to hyperventilate as Chase attempted to calm him down. Blades hugged him, begging for him to not disappear, "PLEASE DON'T LEAVE TOO!" Not realizing he was slowly disintegrating himself.

Chase didn't know how to respond to all of this, two of his closest friends are dead and their companions. He didn't know the fate of Heatwave, Kade, Blur, Salvage, Hightide, Doc Greene, his daughter, and Dr. Baranova. He looked at Charlie and Cody. 'Please...Please don't be next. Let it be me if it has to be.' He thought.

Charlie slowly sat down on the floor. Ideas running through his mind on what is going on. He called Ezra, hoping for a response, to get on but only hears Anna's voice. "Anna, where's Ezra?" He asked expecting the worst. "He disappeared," She sobbed, "I don't know how but he did and Frankie has been in her room ever since."

Charlie deeply exhaled as he talked to Anna, "Check on her, alright." Anna hung up the phone. That feeling in his gut gotten bigger. He knew that he was going to die. He was going, just like his children. He hugged Cody, just to soften the blow of the inevitable.

"Dad... are you gonna die?"

"I know it's bad but please," Charlie said, "stay strong Cody." He gently patted Cody's head. Charlie looked at Chase.

"Chase, please take care of Cody."

That was the last thing Charlie said at he faded away.

Shall I make this into a fic?

WAIT CHAT HOLD ON-

SENTINEL HAS WINGS!!!!!

"Yeah obviously he turns into a jet-" NO!!!!!

Initially I thought they were like angel wings (which yeah, they are) and it's great symbolism because of his whole false Prime thing. He has this façade about being a noble leader and all that and he probably thinks that he's Primus' gift to the universe. The Devil disguised as an angel. Or something something the Devil was once the most beautiful angel of all. Idk lotsa places you can go with the angel symbolism.

HOWEVER

They're GOLDEN. You know who else had golden wings? Icarus. Who flew too close to the sun. Who's entire myth is about hubris and how pride can be your undoing. Does that sound familiar to you guys???

Sentinel flew too close to the sun believing that he could kill the Primes and seize all that wealth and power with no consequence. He thought that he was sooo great and nothing bad would ever happen to him because he won!!! And then he got too comfortable and sloppy and everything he built fell apart in just one day.

Whoever was on the design team for Transformers One you cooked hard with this one

In another (happier) world, I think Muhen would've been Akechi's Sojiro. Akechi would've lived above Jazz Jin just like how Joker lived above Leblanc. Muhen would've taught him how to make the drinks and close up at night. They would've bonded over music. And Akechi would finally have an adult looking after him. Because Muhen does care about him in-canon. He's the only character in the epilogue that mentions Akechi, he notices who Akechi spends time with, and he wishes to see him again.

It's so sad that Akechi assumes nobody cares about him or wants him around and yet this random jazz club owner does. Do you ever think about Muhen seeing Akechi at the Jazz Jin sometime in December, not knowing it would be the last time he ever would

i really don’t think it’s “typical dragon age fandom nonsense” for people to be genuinely upset about the world state choices. combat, level design, art direction, gameplay gimmicks, those have all varied across each dragon age game. the one thing that’s remained constant are nods to our previous choices.

i wasn’t expecting my HoF to come riding in on a griffon, but i can’t find a monument dedicated to warden tabris somewhere around the anderfels? lucanis couldn’t have some lines about the time that one arainai boy was stirring up trouble in antiva city? you’re gonna tell me that making a mage the new divine wouldn’t have some impact on nevarra and antiva? on the anderfels, the supposed most devout militant andrastian nation in thedas? you’re saying nobody in the north is paying attention to who rules orlais or ferelden? come on.

found family coworkers (definition multiple) of all time [image description under cut]

Comic 1:

First panel, Ingo and Akari are standing together. Someone off-screen asks “oh, is that your dad?”. Akari has an awkward smile and replies “oh, no no. he’s my...” There’s a long pause as she looks at Ingo. He’s leaving it up to her. She finishes, “He’s my coworker... friend... guy.” In smaller font, she continues “yea. that.” Comic 2: A dramatic panel of Volo, looking pissed off, shouting “who are you to interfere?!!” Ingo tugs the brim of his cap lower. The upper half of his face is in shadow, while his eyes stand out. He looks threatening but has his expression is his characteristic neutral-frown, and he says “...I’m her coworker friend guy.”. In the final panel, Machoke is throwing an incredible amount of punches, a reference to Star Platinum from Jojo. Ingo is pointing with one hand, his battle pose. The background text reads, “What does that even mean??” Volo is experiencing off-screen violence.

Comic 3: The comic is titled “Reunion”. In the first panel, Ingo shows off Akari, with a faint smile on his face. She is labelled “best girl (assigned by god)”. He says, “Emmet, this is Akari, my coworker. She’s the reason I was able to return to this station.” In smaller font, Akari comments to herself, “ooh... so this is the man in white.”

In the second panel, in smaller font Ingo notes “I think I remember now...” He says, “Akari, this is Emmet. He's also my coworker.” Coworker is underlined. Emmet is crying in the background, looking confused, conflicted, distressed, and happy. He says, “Brother...?” In the final panel, we see a framed photograph of all three together. Underneath are the words, Employee of the Month. Akari is dressed as a depot agent, and she and Ingo pose with peace signs. Emmet is red faced from crying, but he’s smiling widely. He looks happy.

it really fucks me up how often house md has this message of “the love was there. just not enough.” because of COURSE chase and cameron loved each other. of course house and cuddy were in love and foreman and thirteen were in love and wilson and sam were and cuddy and lucas and house and lydia and house and stacy and taub and rachel but. it just wasn’t enough. the love was there and it matters that it was there. but it saves no one. it fixes nothing. they still move on. they still leave. somebody is always left alone in the end. EXCEPT house wilson who broke this pattern For Yaoi rasones.

[basilpaste]

the romances in hatchetfield fuck me up so bad like. every time. like youve got:

the most normal couple of all time, except one of them always seems to understand when the world is going to end and they inevitably are driven apart by something out of their control.

two grungy teens/young adults who will never get a happy ending so long as theyre together

a woman who everyone forgets and the man who falls in love with her every time he meets her again and again and again.

high school sweethearts haunted by their pasts and sometimes their futures, too.

a nerd and a 'cool kid', who just keep trying to sacrifice themselves for each other despite something interrupting them every time.

romance is not dead in hatchetfield! except for the fact that it usually ends up dying horribly and tragically.

that ivan loves till is the most obvious thing about them

but. does ivan know that…?

the ivan that regards his own feelings as shallow, the ivan that learned how emotions are expressed only from copying others… does he even know that the love he’s felt for so long is love? probably not. and part of the reason is the one he loves himself

because the easiest example he has of love is till's feelings to mizi. till outright calls it love, and ivan watches him so much he has to be aware of this and till’s love to mizi is totally unselfish, right. he doesn’t seem to actually want much from her—just that she's still there and still "mizi"

but ivan can't be satisfied with just watching he… wants. ivan wants till’s attention, till’s affection—

surely this selfish wanting can’t be love

...no wonder he was never able to express his feelings straightforwardly when he belittles them so much but he can’t stand not having anything either, so he does… whatever he does instead to get any scraps of attention he can, from someone he's convinced doesn't care about him at all only showing affection when till can't see it, right until he knows he's going to die

but ivan's feelings for till are all he still has of himself... to think of them as shallow...

I've seen this translated as "I should've been kinder" to him (till) or to her (sua)

but really, the one he should've been kinder to was himself
