“Hey, sweetheart.”

You turn to see the eldest spawn from the man you strongly dislike. The smile falls from your face.

“Do I know you?” He tilts his head and furrows his brows focusing on your face as he tries to recognize you.

You down the rest of the drink you ordered moments before he arrived. Setting the glass down, you turn to face him once more and give him a sarcastic smile; you clench your fist before pulling your arm back and swing.

He turns his head and reaches for his nose, letting out pained groans. Partially, to hold it and keep it from throbbing any further but also to see if he’s bleeding… which he is. Damn.

Sam watches the interaction between the two of you before jumping out of his seat to stand beside his brother. “Dean? Are you okay?”

“Get off me, Sam. I’m fine.” Dean turns to look at you. “What the hell was that for?”

You stare at them, never losing the sarcastic smile, “it was good to see the Winchester brothers again.”

You exit the bar, pulling the keys out of your pocket; you unlock your car and drive away heading back to the motel you’re staying in.

You sit at the edge of the bed and fall backwards sighing about what happened in the last half-hour. “Stupid. So stupid,” you mumble to yourself.

You push yourself off the bed to find more information on the vampire nest that’s around this town.

-

For the past two weeks, you did nonstop research on the town. Browsing article after article after article… until you got something.

“Ha ha, finally. I got you now.” You pack your bag and laptop before setting the bags in your backseat, parking a few feet away from the vampire’s hideout.

You pull your machete out of the bag and close the door as gently as you could, walking around the building, you find one of the vampire’s asleep outside giving you the upper hand and opportunity to kill him.

-

After walking down, a hallway, you find five vampires’ asleep in their makeshift beds. You were able to kill one more before the front doors’ hinges let out a high pitch creak, alerting the others.

One vampire placed her hand on the back of your neck, pulling you close.

She opened her mouth, ready to take a bite out of you luckily, you’re able to stop her.

You stepped on her foot and elbow her in the stomach.

She releases you, clutching her abdomen.

You swing your arm and slice her head off.

Two other people take care of two more vamps but there’s one left.

You ducked tucking your face into your legs.

The newly turned vampire trips over you and falls onto his stomach.

All you can see out of the corner of your eye is a pair of boots and the sound of a machete slicing through skin and bones is echoing throughout the room.

You push yourself off the ground, silently groaning to yourself when you realize who else is in the building. “You’ve got to be kidding me.”

Sam turns, fully taking notice of you. “Hey aren’t you-“

“You’re the girl from the bar,” Dean finishes for his brother.

“And the Winchester’s get another one right. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go.”

Dean steps in front of you. “Oh no, you’re not going anywhere until we talk.”

You scoff, “I have nothing to say to you.”

“That’s too damn bad. I’m not going anywhere until I get some answers.”

“Screw you. You had time to talk to me but instead you listen to your dad and all he had to say.” You take a deep breath and purse your lips before continuing, “I would say I’m sorry about your loss but to be honest I didn’t like John all that much... but you two aren’t your dad so I’m sorry for your guys’ loss.”

“Do we know you?” Sam interrupts.

You let out a sad chuckle mixed with a scoff, licking your lips. “Of course, neither of you remember me- it doesn’t matter now. What’s done is done and clearly you two have moved on so I should do the same.” You turn, picking up your machete.

One foot out the door, you hear the thumps of two people’s footsteps coming behind you.

“Hey. You can’t just leave and expect us not to look for you,” Sam says.

“Yeah, and I want to know why you bruised my nose.”

You roll your eyes. “Here’s something to jog your memory,” you tell them your name. You briskly walk out the door and to your car, not stopping to clean your weapon or yourself.

It was too much. This- the talk, explaining who you are, it’s too much right now.

-

Dean smirks, grabbing ice from the machine beside you.

Sam exits the room and makes his way towards his brother.

“So, we meet again.”

You sigh, “I thought punching you would keep you far away from me.”

“Think again, sweetheart.”

“Don’t call me that. Why are you two here?”

“We were-“ Sam starts to explain but Dean cuts him off.

“Noticed your car in the parking lot when we were leaving.”

“So, you decided to follow me?”

Their eyes widen.

Sam tries to fix things. “Well I- I wouldn’t say “following” you, exactly. Maybe-“

“Light stalking?”

“Alright, you know what. I’m tired of playing this tiptoe game with you. Tell us why you’re pissed with us and everything will be fine," Dean snaps.

“I wouldn’t say I’m mad at you two… per se.”

“What is it then?”

You roll your eyes, “you two hungry?”

-

“Do you two remember the last night we ever talked?”

“Well- uh- I mean… maybe. Could you tell us what you remember about that night?” Sam asks. 

“I found some people who were biologically my family but then things went south.”

“Like what?” The eldest Winchester asks with his mouth full.

“Swallow before you talk.” You hold a napkin in front of Dean’s face.

He smiles with a mouth full of food before snatching the napkin from you.

“We’re not talking about this part here, in a restaurant. You two wanna talk, well find somewhere else to do this.”

“Are you just saying that so we’ll leave you alone?”

“Even if I did, you two would find me and continue to bug me.”

“No, we would- we would give you your space.”

“I don’t know why you’re lying Sam.”

“Can you blame us for wanting to know why you’re mad enough to punch me,” Dean grumbles.

You lean back in the booth, crossing your arms. “You really don’t remember, do you?”

“I swear I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Follow me.” You get out of your seat and make your way to your car.

The brothers not too far behind you.

-

“We’re back at the motel?” Sam questions, slipping into the room after Dean.

“Yeah, I want to be here when I tell you what you want to know.”

“Why’d you punch me?” The eldest Winchester chimes in.

“You and I had a falling out.”

“That’s all you’re going to say?”

“Yep.”

“You gotta give me more detail than that.”

“I told you the truth about me... after you found out, and you wanted to kill me. We argued. I left.”

“You don’t expect me to believe that, do you?”

“Why not?” You shrug. “You can’t honestly think I owe you anything.”

“Two words. Bruised nose.”

You roll your eyes. “Yeah, I got it.”

“What if you tell us something about what happened… that… night?” Sam says, feeling very awkward about this whole situation.

“You know what, fine. Dean and I were on a hunt. The creature we were hunting was close to attacking him so I took care of it… with my specialty."

“Specialty?”

“I’m a witch, at your service.” You joke before pushing yourself out of the chair, cleaning your room.

-

"Dammit!" You mutter.

"What the hell was that?!" Dean shouts, turning to look at you. He raises his gun, pointing it at you. "What the hell are you? What did you do to my friend? Where is my friend?"

"Nothing happened, it's me, Dean. I'm still here."

"Like hell you are! My friend wouldn't have powers."

You angrily narrow your eyes at him. "You seriously can't be pissed at me for being like this. It's not like I asked for this! I didn't ask for these powers! I'm still me, pieman."

He shakes his head, "no, no, you're not. Only my friend can call me that."

"Are you serious? You're gonna throw a lifelong friendship down the drain because I'm different?"

"No, you're not different, you're dangerous ."

You scoff, "Have I ever done anything to prove I am?”

“Right now.”

You know what, if I'm dangerous, then so are you. So is Sam!"

He shook his head, not lowering his gun. "We’re not like you ."

You grit your teeth, doing all you can to compose yourself. “Just because I have powers doesn't mean I'm more dangerous than you. I can control myself. I don't kill people for fun!"

"Stop- stop comparing us, this isn't some game where we're trying to figure out who can kill who fastest."

"You’re right, we're not but you're making me out to be some kind of monster, like I'm not better than those we protect everyone else from."

"You are!" He cocks his gun.

Your bottom lips wobbles at his honest confession.

He was so quick to say yes. "I'm not! I'm not a monster! I have powers that I use to help people. I'm not like my family. I fight to survive because I want to live. I don’t want to wind up like them! I'm not- I don't hurt people.”

“That's what they say too.”

You sniff and wipe your cheeks.

If he wants a monster, then he’s got one. 

“Fine, you cowardess dickhead. I am a monster, as you so kindly put it but just know, not all monsters do monstrous things. They choose to live or die and to live doesn't always mean making the right choice but if you want to survive,” you raise your hand and swipe his gun out of his hand.

“You've just showed me that as a monster, you have no one on your side and you have to look out for yourself and I'll keep doing it until my last breath ."

You spin around, “see you never, dickhead. May you rot in hell and I'm sure at some point I'll be right there by your side.”

-

“He- you really did that,” Sam turns to his brother.

“I- I was a kid-”

You slam your fist down on the table. “So was I you asshole. I was a kid and I was scared. But you- you threw me to the side when you found out I was a witch.”

You force yourself away from your hunting bag not wanting to accidentally maim him. “You even said you didn’t know who I was. Do you know what that feels like, Dean? To be abandoned by your best friend!?” You clench your fist.

“Hey,” He stands up, reaching for you.

You shove him away, “back up at least fifteen fucking feet and even that wouldn’t be enough.”

He raises his hands defensively, giving you room. “I- sweetheart I didn’t- I don’t know how I can apologize without hurting you more.”

“You’ve done more than enough. There’s nothing you could say that could hurt me.”

“I’m sorry.”

You close your eyes, “there’s one thing.”

“I don’t know what you’ve gone through but I’m so so sorry for all the stupid shit I said. It wasn’t right and I- I’ll never do it again. I know it won’t be easy but I want us to be friends again.”

“Before we,” you wipe your cheeks. “Before we try and become friends again, you need to know,” you take a deep breath. “I will never do anything to hurt you or Sam or Bobby. You're all my family and I never wanted you to find out like that but it was to save you and I always will."

Sam sucks in a deep breath not at all expecting your confession. “You deserved more than a suckered punch to the nose.”

You can’t help but chuckle. “You’re right, Sam, but I think that’s enough for one night. You two should go. It’s time to clean up and move onto the next hunt.”

The eldest glances over you. “If you’re sure.” Now that he knows everything, even though a part of him might be wary of you, he doesn't know if he'd be able to let you go again.

You nod, “I am.”

What ever you do don't think about Percy reading Estelle a little kid version of 'The Odyssey' because that's what Sally read to him but he doesn't want to scare her. Don't imagine Sally looking on with guilt in her eyes cus she HAD to read him the real one so he knew what to expect. Don't think about Sally looking down on her little girl with tears in her eyes cus she doesn't need to worry about snakes in her bed or teachers being Cyclopes. Don't think of Sally seeing Estelle with Paul and having to leave the room cus when Percy was that age they had Gabe. Don't think of the unimaginable guilt that Sally must feel for being relieved that Estelle's biggest battle at 16, is her Dad being her teacher. And whatever you do don't think about Percy feeling like an outsider in his own family even though he gets constantly reassured that he's part of it and loved.

(alan wake-gravity falls crossover) man i love that character. you know, the deeply paranoid author who made a pact with a dark entity that ultimately ended with him stranded in another dimension separated from his loved ones for years at a time? takes place in the pacific northwest? has twin imagery associated with him and a reoccurring specific piece of symbology related to the unfortunate situation they're in? doesn't ever explain the reasoning behind his actions and instead just kinda goes "bro trust me"? yeah he also wears an outer layer of clothing with elbow pads on it, that one.

Hi Lexi

What do you think of partially blinded Vi? You never seem to draw her that way, and I kind of just wanted to know what do you think of it as a certified Vi lover.

I personally think that while something like this can be "cool" (as in, being beneficial to the character design), it's handled quite poor for Vi and it just looks a bit... ungrateful. Simply doesn't look good, doesn't fit her personality or character (am I missing something?) and it doesn't seem to fit or suit her...unlike Kenny's iconic eyepatch. To me, it has become a pivotal thing in his design to a degree in which Kenny with both eyes seems a bit odd looking. I see it as a symbol which stands for Ken being a martyr and all he's lost and sacrificed. He is all about family and helping those he loved, his loved ones truly were the "apple of his eye". It all makes sense, doesn't it?

But for Vi, it's excatly the opposite. I'm just so sorry to see her like this. 😭😭😭 I don't think it makes sense in any way. Louis losing his tongue because he's so talkative and "won't shut up" does kind of make sense, but I cant help but see Violet losing sight as kind of lazy writing. "We need something bad happening to her!!! suffer the children!!!'- the writers exclaimed.

i think vi losing her eyesight is incredibly impactful on her character and i honestly dont understand why some people say its lazy writing. especially since it was foreshadowed multiple times. vi losing her eyesight i think is even more impactful on her character than louis losing his tongue because at least louis still has his music to express himself and uplift spirits through (and its not like he cant communicate At All. his note still makes clem laugh). the reason i dont draw blind vi very often is because of how sad it is to me. for multiple reasons

violets whole thing is wanting to be able to protect the people she cares about, and feels immense grief and guilt about the times she feels shes failed them (thinks if she had been there with the twins that day that she couldve done something to save them. feels she failed everyone taken by the raiders. is scared of failing clem too "if something happened to you because of me? i cant lose you too. i wont". its why she cant leave minnie after shooting her. and a kidnapped vi attacks clem because she doesnt want anyone else to get hurt. hell it even ties back to her grandma and feeling guilty about not doing anything for her)

so for her to lose her eyesight? she took pride in her ability to fight and now she cant do that anymore. cant protect the people she loves. and as someone who started the season as an isolated loner, it forces her to rely on those around her for help, stripping her of her independence (and her independence is what allowed her to stand up against the group for clem when it came to the marlon situation in ep2). a blinded vi is forced into accepting community, whereas a saved violet accepts it on her own. her and clem turn ericsons into the home violet could never see it as

the other reason blind vi makes me so sad is that it is Directly a result of clems actions. kidnapped vi had nothing and wanted nothing to do with the bomb, and yet shes the ONLY ONE who gets hurt by it. clem choosing to let vi be taken means clem both breaks her heart, and then burns out her eyes. louis and his tongue is between him and lilly and was a choice THEY each made outside of clems direct influence (even if it was clem who inspired him to speak up, it is ultimately his choice to keep talking, and lilly hurts him for it. its sad he gets punished for a character moment, but clem had no direct hand in him losing his tongue. its why hes not angry to see her in the cell. he doesnt blame clem for what happened), but the way vi is feeling in that cell is DIRECTLY due to clems actions. vi feels like clem abandoned her after she had put herself on the line for her multiple times. she always had clems back but clem didnt have hers. clem is the one who planted the bomb and vi gets caught in the blast. clem hurts her emotionally And physically. and vi apologizes for getting upset (she tries to apologize on the beach too before theyre forced out in the cart, so she felt wrong for those actions immediately even tho they were understandable. lilly and minnie used her moment of weakness to get in her head. she just wanted everyone to be safe)

kidnapped blinded vi is just so incredibly sad to me, especially when you compare her to a fully realized violet. a violet who has come into herself, has confidence, has opened up, has stopped pushing people away out of fear and lets herself love again. shes a leader. a fighter. a protector. and those are all things a blinded violet loses

neither vi losing her eyes or louis losing his tongue is supposed to add anything to their characters. its about what theyve lost. both of them have important parts of their identity stripped away from them after being taken by the delta. its supposed to be sad. heartbreaking. regrettable. unfortunate. they have not gained anything by their time at the delta, only lost important parts of themselves to it

Hi! New OP fan here! Do you mind if I ask a genuine question?

What the hell is up with Nami?

Not only she's adopted but also she has no connection to her birth family because the one that actually found her was a little girl who just decided to pick up this random baby. Why does she have a backstory so disconnected from her family? Is this something that was ever addressed?

She's disconnected because from context there was a war with pirates in the town where nojiko and nami were at, we know nojiko's family is dead but we don't know about nami's since nojiko saw her all alone and took her with her (assuming most were dead in this town, whoever was taking care of nami was probably gone by this point)

we never find out who her family is (but apparently oda did want to make a movie about it at some point, but then didn't?)

i wouldn't mind if there was more to her background but i'm completely fine with there not. Nojiko just didn't want to leave Nami all alone, and Belle-mere couldn't leave either of them alone so they made their family together and that's all they needed

you'll see that one of the biggest themes in one piece, is found family! nami's whole situation is just the beginning

here to once again complain about ft and just the. existence of irene & being the mother of erza, which subsequently didn't matter at all after that arc ended. im scratching my head still at the prospect of giving erza an on-page mother, especially so late in the story with no build up outside the arc. idk if im making this up but i remember reading that it wasn't intentional at first, but irene ended up looking so much like erza that it was implemented in the story. i think thats dumb and stupid and boring and dumb!! fair warning that i barely acknowledge irene and erza's familial relation, any development is going be heavily canon-divergent & full of my own tweaks in regards to irene and her story..

[natjennie]

vulture update: so many that apparently multiple people called the police, who showed up and proceeded to say "yup it's a dead dear, that's a lot of vultures, maybe try animal control? good luck" and then left. so that was cool.
