"Oh, how I love white Christmas (❁´◡`❁)" I say, full of delusion. Sweating my ass off in a country that doesn't even snow

[justanotherfannerd]

He’s standing on her balcony in the rain. He’s drenched by choice because he’s hoping it’ll help his cause, so far it doesn’t look like it’s working.

“You look like a drowned cat,” she scoffs popping out a hip as she does. “Are you doing that by choice or because you forgot you have powers?” Her question is mumbled.

“Choice.”

She rolls her eyes. It starts raining harder, neither of them move.

“I’m sorry.”

She hums unimpressed but listening, even as she turns her head away from him.

'I shouldn’t have pushed you away, or told you that you were incapable of comprehending my feelings.'

She gives a fake gasp. It’s the practiced one, he realizes, the one she gives to her adoring fans. “No!” She says with heavily laced sarcastic surprise.

'You have a right to be upset, and you can tell me to go if you’re not ready to hear me apologize.' He pauses. 'Or at least try.'

“Watching you fumble is interesting, especially since this isn’t rehearsed.”

She can tell?

“Of course I can tell,” he sees a smirk from the side of her face. “I take great efforts to be the perfect girlfriend. I thought you knew this.”

He does. “I’m sorry,” he hedges again. Less confident this time

“You said that already.”

He shifts on his feet as the rain pours harder. Kokomi watches as the air around him manipulates and in the blink of an eye it’s gone again.

“How long are you going to let yourself stay soaked? I just watched you reflexively try and stop yourself from getting wet.”

'You said I should go take a long dip at the bottom of the Mariana Trench if I want my hatred and resentment to run as deep as it does.'

She smiles to herself at such a well placed insult. “Did you?”

'Yes.'

“And?”

'I already said I was an idiot.'

“Never hurts to repeat the truth.”

He sighs. “I was an idiot.”

“And?”

“I’m sorry.”

“And?”

'And?'

“You didn’t really think I’d be satisfied with just an ‘I’m sorry I was an idiot and that you didn’t think i could understand your feelings’ and that would be enough did you?”

'No, but I don’t know what you want me to say. I don’t,' “I don’t know how to fix this.”

“Kusuo, you told me to my face ‘I shouldn’t stick my nose in places where I can’t even begin to comprehend or fathom’ when all I was trying to do was figure out why you were crying. Sorry, but that really hurts.” She’s hugging her arms.

He reaches out to touch her but pulls back when she does.

“I’m sorry.”

“Stop saying that. It’s just hallow words.”

“It’s not.”

“Oh yeah? How?”

'Because I know I was wrong. Because I know I hurt you. Because I know I need to make this better.'

She hugs herself tighter but doesn’t speak.

“Because I was lost in my own head and I was afraid of you seeing how messed up I really am.”

“I don’t care about—“

“And I know you don’t care, but I care because I don’t want to explain the horrors of what it is like to watch everything you care about disappear and you realize that you’re the only one who can fix it.

She was quiet.

“It’s terrifying,” it was harder to swallow than he remembered. “It really is.”

She walked into their shared apartment without making a sound.

He stayed still.

“You’re sleeping on the couch.” It was whispered as she made her way to her room.

Drying himself off before entering the threshold he sighed. He slumped backwards once he sat on the couch.

“Meow.” He looked down to see the old white cat now at the base of his feet.

‘Hi.’

You left. Why did you leave? Kokomi is sad.

How to explain that your girlfriend is mad at you to a cat? ‘She’s mad at me.’

Why? Did you go find a new mate? My human is the best human. She began to growl at him.

‘No, I didn’t go find a new. . . Mate. I snapped at her when she shouldn’t have. Now she’s angry at me.'

The growling stopped as the old cat hopped up onto his lap, making biscuits as she did.

She tried to lick your wounds. She can’t lick your wounds before you do. It hurts.

He sighed, bringing a gentle hand to pet along her spine.

‘It doesn’t quite work that way for humans.’

That is why cats are the superior race.

He chuckled. “Maybe.”

He’s not sure how long the two of them sat there, but eventually he heard Kokomi calling her name.

"Aiko! Aiko? Where did you go, you're not that big and you're old. I swear on my life of you managed to get outside again—"

Kokomi stopped as she saw her laying on his lap. She made eye contact with her cat before looking at him.

"Aiko," she crouched rubbing her fingers to get her attention "c'mere. Aiko honey, come here. It's time for bed."

Aiko raised her head, but did not move from his lap.

Comfort. Warnth. Safe.

Saiki swallowed opening his mouth to speak, but was stopped by Kokomi holding up a finger. He closed his mouth.

"Aiko. Please?"

Aiko didn't move this time returning to her sleep. Ear flicking and tail swiping back and forth in mild annoyance.

Kokomi stood up and let out an audible sigh. "Traitor." She mumbled disappearing back to her room once again.

'You're not helping my case.'

This time Aiko made no noise as she let her head rest on her paws.

Saiki sighed as he took his glasses off his face. He rubbed his eyes with the heel of his palms before looking at the ceiling.

Could be worse, at least I'm not sleeping at mom's and dad's anymore.

He fell asleep with his arm over his eyes.

He woke up when he felt a dip in the couch. He blinked hard and glanced at the clock under the tv.

3:45

He closed his eyes tight and then put on his glasses, but he didn't say a word.

Kokomi fiddled with his shirt sleeve, but otherwise stayed quiet.

"I didn't think you'd actually do it," she whispered when the silence got to be too loud. "You have your own room. You don't need to sleep on the couch."

"You told me to." He said softly.

"I also said you were an asshole and that you could cry forever for all I care."

He didn't respond to that.

Her voice was raspy "I'm," she cleared her throat to calm herself. "I'm sorry about that by the way. I realized I shouldn't have said it as soon as I did."

'We both said things we shouldn't have.'

"That doesn't make it okay." She clenched his arm and he shifted so he was no longer slouching on the couch.

'I didn't say it was.' He turned so he was facing her and she buried her head in his chest. 'But, we're only human.'

Kokomi gripped his shirt until he felt the tug of it on his shoulders.

'Aiko says cats are the superior race,' Kokomi giggled. 'Maybe we should try being cats for a day.' she was hiccuping between her laughs. 'I think it'd solve all our problems and even if it doesn't we'd get spoiled all day.' she was full on laughing now. 'Sounds like a good deal to me. Should I make it happen?'

Kokomi sniffled and then shook her head in his chest. Kusuo brought his arms around the small of her back, resting his head on hers.

"I'm sick of being angry at you." She sighed, voice muffled by his chest.

"I've missed you." He kissed her temple gently, still hesitant in what he was allowed.

She lifted her head from underneath his and sat on her knees to be at eye level with him. She leaned forward and pressed their foreheads together.

"I love you." She whispered.

"I don't think I could live without you."

She huffed and brought a hand to his face. "You always have to one up me don't you?"

He shrugged smirking. "I love you too just felt lame."

Kokomi pulled back and squinted at him. "You're awful."

'You fell in love with me.'

She tugged lightly on his collar and kissed him. It was a gentle kiss, near featherlight. She pulled back and smiled at him.

"And I would do it again. Even if you are a brat."

He smiled. "I love you."

Kokomi flushed and scoffed. "Yeah yeah."

She stood and waited for him to follow. Instead Kusuo laid down on the couch removing his glasses and putting his arm back over his eyes.

"What are you doing?"

'It is 4 in the morning, I am exhausted, and I want to go to sleep.'

"Then teleport to your bed or my bed."

'I'm comfortable on the couch.'

"You can literally teleport."

'Principle of the matter.'

"But you, AH—" Kokomi squeaked as Kusuo pulled her down on top of him. She shifted until she was laying on his chest.

"Just sleep."

She huffed but made no motion to get up and closed her eyes.

"You're terrible."

"I'm yours."

Both smiled as they fell asleep as Kusuo closed the blinds with his mind to stop the early morning sun from disturbing their slumber.

Aiko raised her head at the movement of the blinds before opening an eye to glance at her humans.

Cats are definitely the superior race.

She placed her head back on her paws and fell asleep too.

ARCANE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS: 2x02 - “Watch It All Burn”

[mipmoth]

The "Who am I? Where am I? When am I?" Duo

[theresistanceneverquits]

There’s not enough people talking about how important Stephanie is to Damian’s growth pre-Flashpoint.

Bruce had seen Damian as a beast to be tamed, Tim sees him as a ticking time bomb, and Dick is far better with him but he’s still an authority figure for Damian to combat with. But then he meets Stephanie, a college-aged girl who nobody trusts and he bullies her relentlessly and becomes inseparable from her.

She doesn’t interact with him based on his past, but on what she can see. This 10 year old just threatened to kill her? Wow he doesn’t get outside much. He’s not old enough to have seen Gremlins. What do you MEAN you’ve never been inside a bouncy house before we are fixing that immediately.

They are like cousins to each other. They poke fun at each other for being lame and stupid and Dick has to tell them both to shut up. She doesn’t see him as a project to be molded and redeemed, he’s just a kid with a crappy childhood like her and if he’s nice to her for 5 seconds she’ll do something with him to let him feel like a kid. And he doesn’t look at her and see a liability or a failure or a lost cause, like everyone she’s ever interacted with does. When he’s awful to her, it’s because he’s an obnoxious preteen boy.

And then you get the “there’s room in our line of work for hope, too” scene. Because Damian has gotten to know Steph and he can’t fathom why she’s here. She obviously has had to deal with crap and is still working through being kept on a leash by Nightwing and Oracle, but she isn’t broken like the rest of them are. Damian is surrounded by people who were molded and shaped and torn down and broken to become the monoliths that they are, and then there’s this girl who seems so at peace with herself and is constantly making quips, and it’s so foreign to him.

And she tells him that she’s in his world because she believes people are worth fighting for.

i've been digging around for jazz-and/or-prowl-centred mystery fics and this one was so so excellent to me,, the atmosphere, the details of the environment, prowl's perspective was so nicely done the writing was so juicy i love them being best friends feeling safe together i love the idea of robot ghosts

[azulhood]

Danny is broke.

Which is not ideal, especially since he wants to put some money aside incase his parents find out and things go south.

Not that he believes that they'd hurt him! Of course not, his parents love him. He just wants to be prepared, just in case.

Dog walking, tutoring, baby-sitting, and anything else is kinda out of the question with all the ghosts attacking him.

What about YouTube? He can make his own hours, choose what he wants to create.

Its not he has anything to loose.

And so the YouTuber KingPhantom posted his first video titled "What to do when your turkey fights back."

The heroes are worried.

Prompt 279

Now Danny didn’t mean to make a Bootube channel. He’d meant to send that sleep deprived ramble to Tucker, but he had clicked on the wrong app and yeah. Apparently people enjoy his space rambles- or it could have been the ghost blob-cats that had decided to flop onto him. (Honestly he wasn’t surprised they would start to mimic the shapes of things in their surroundings)

Tucker? Found it hilarious, as did Sam and Val and… um, okay this has become their shared channel now, nice. Though there are some strange comments on some of the videos. Really, what do they mean green sky and crazy tech???

[goldensunset]

i’ve been thinking about the pokémon memes where it’s like playing off of that one quote that’s like ‘truly strong trainers should try to win using their favorites’ and it’s like ‘ok well my favorite is [something blatantly overpowered]’ and it’s got me curious. how many people genuinely love pokémon that also happen to be really strong competitively?

so if you will. pick a favorite pokémon (for any reason! whether it’s cuteness or strength or nostalgia etc. no judgment) then go here https://www.smogon.com/dex/sv/pokemon/ and look it up

(you’ll see something that looks like this. see where it says tier and has some gibberish afterwards? don’t worry if you don’t know what that means but tell me what the letters/words are)

also if there are multiple forms and the distinction matters to you make sure you get the right one lol cuz the tiering can be different

edit: forgot to mention i mean specifically in SV! which is what comes up by default. rip every pokémon that either isn’t in SV (it’ll say ‘national dex’) or used to be better but has since fallen off relative to new pokémon

DpxDc AU - If his parents are going to treat him like a punk, he might as well lean into it. 

Danny is getting seriously worn down by his parents constantly asking him to explain why he’s gone all the time and why his grades have slipped so far. I mean, sure, it took them months to notice, but now that they have, they’re alluding to the fact that he’s turned into some kind of punk and that he’s not taking life as seriously as he should be. This is what makes Danny kind of snap. 

He cuts his hair, gets Sam to pierce his ears in a few places (which sucked but was nice to catch up with her since Team Phantom didn’t get out much anymore), learns how to skateboard and gets Tuck to help him mask his identity on the internet as he begins online protesting the unethical treatment of ghosts. He makes picket signs that he leaves outside of Fentonworks and it takes days before his parents see them because they’re down in the lab. They go back up immediately after his parents take them down, and he begins tagging buildings with protest sayings and art all over amity park.

No matter how they ground him, the Drs Fenton are at a loss as to what to do to control Danny. Jazz says it’s not her place to interfere and is cheering her little brother on for being passionate about a new hobby. 

Danny’s honestly really vibing with the changes. He always understood why Sam wanted control over her own look, but he’s really leaning into the whole shebang. Ember and Johnny13 have never bonded over anything more than they have the punk transformation of their King. He’s really representing them fr fr- she taught him how to play the bass. 

With enough protests about the Anti-Ecto acts, the JL step in and begin their efforts to lobby change within the US government. Constantine is up to date on the new King being from Earth and thinks they might be able to weasel out a non-apocalyptic scenario if they reach out sooner than later. A letter gets sent through the infinite realms (No way in fuck was John going to try and summon a fucking King excuse you Bats)- Danny gets the letter and decides to let them sweat a bit, sending back his own letter that just says “K.” cause he’s learned that adults/authority figures all suck ass until proven otherwise. After a few days, a portal opens up in the middle of their meeting. 

Ghost King Phantom is rolling in on a skateboard, with the Ring of rage dangling from one of his ear piercings and ice crown floating above his head. He’s drinking an off brand smoothie, wearing a leather jacket that has medieval chainmail on it over his now distressed hazmat suit and his boots steel toed.

“...Sup. Y’all want to do something about this whole situation? I’m an all or nothing kind of guy.” Danny greets them. He means that he’s willing to be diligent in his efforts to disbar the Acts. It gets interpreted as him threatening to end the world, ofc, but that’s an issue he has to deal with later. 

“King Phantom we have been working daily to-” 

“Uh huh. Look, didn’t you guys have like a teenage group? I want to work with them, they’ll probably actually help me get shit done while you fuck around with paper work.”
