#getting captured for fun and profit

[wisteriasymphony]

coming back to this. guys, i know it is so tempting to give adrichat an 8 pack or a 6 pack or huge biceps, but if we're choosing between giving him that and a collection of hand-painted tabletop rpg minis? WHY WOULD YOU NOT CHOOSE THE MINIS

too many jock adrien headcanons, not enough magic the gathering player adrien headcanons. I'm sorry but it needs to be said

[lilybug-02]

Someone needs to make a fanfic about if ghost got captured by someone who didn’t like bugs/treated them wrongly (maybe a cousin of Dewi??) and both Hornet as well as Dewi have to work together to help little Ghost escape.

THIS, but it’s actually Zote (the Mighty) who gets captured. Dewi’s older cousin Sam finds out about Hallownest and creates a sinister plan for its residents! She’ll turn them over to the Government for a hefty profit! But what's this?! Sam... enjoys talking with Zote? And he's kinda fun to talk to?..... No No, She can't forget her mission! No matter what her stupid cousin and his bug friends think!

Told you guys Hollow Knight with Humans has a lot of potential ;)

Also no- this isn't another comic I'm making, more a very fun concept (that you can steal to your hearts content). But i did make a few more sketches of her.

❀    KNOWN ISSUES

01. as a gdocs creator i use an external add-on called page resizer which is helpful for customizing the sizing of my canvas , as docs limits us with pre - set sizes. while this is nice to use , i'm aware that it can specifically cause an issue when you change the color of your background page. to fix this you must actually download the page resizer add-on through extensions -> add-ons -> get add-ons &. you should search for page sizer & download the one by nat burns. then you can access the sizer through extensions -> page sizer -> set page size &. what should be set for this document is a width of 9 &. a height of 12 !

this should fix the document , but i also know that sometimes , for what ever reason , the height &. width will flip. if that happens just make the height &. width opposite; so instead of a width of 9 , put 12 & for height , put 9 instead of 12.

02. i cropped the title cards in the document so that you wouldn't be trying to click something &. accidentally click on the titles ! however this means that when you replace image on the title cards they might go off center &. crop halfway through the word. just double click the title card that's bugging out & drag it to about the center of the black box. then it's fixed !

Messages from Aphrodite 🐚 🕊️

Piles : 1~2~3

How to choose a pile?

Take a deep breath and gently close your eyes. Politely request your spirit guides to reveal the appropriate pile meant for you, then open your eyes. Whichever pile captures your attention is the one meant for you.

Masterlist

Paid services

Pile 1

Aphrodite wants you to know that things get worse sometimes, they don't go the way we want them to. I know it sucks but that's just how it is. You shouldn't stress out or get upset over something that isn't in your control. You've been working really hard and haven't gotten the results you should get. Don't worry everyone has their own pace. She wants you to know that you shouldn't give up yet. Keep on working and you'll be really grateful that you didn't give up one year from now.

She wants you to know that love begins within oneself. You won't experience true love until you learn to appreciate the love you have for yourself.

I'm also getting that she is sending lots of blessings into your life. And you might already be experiencing some of them right now. Don't worry things will only get better from now on. For some of you, you'll have to choose between two love interests. And she is telling you to ask her for guidance before making the choice.

Pile 2

Aphrodite has recognised your efforts. She acknowledges the effort you have been putting in mastering that skill. She is really proud of you. She wants you to know that you'll soon have to face a huge crowd and this is especially for you to let your talents shine. I'm getting that you're going to be put into a situation where you'll have to face your fear of recognition. I feel like some of you fear being recognised as you believe it'll attract unwanted attention to you. And I'm also getting that in the upcoming days someone might approach you for their own profit. This person could be really famous in your work area/school/University.

You'll be recognised by your teachers/boss/ higher authorities and I promise you, you'll be really grateful for the opportunity that is coming your way. However I do want you to be careful of letting people know too much about yourself. Especially about your finances and how you manage your money.

Most of your blessings are related to work/career/studies/finances. You might not be focusing on love right now , rather Your focusing on improving yourself. Which is really appreciated by Aphrodite. She wants you to put yourself first.

Pile 3

I heard "Justice is going to be served" . Aphrodite wants you to know that people who have treated you badly are going to face the consequences of their actions. And it is going to be in front of you. People are going to ask for apology and take accountability for their actions. Also she wants you to know that she is with you no matter what. Someone here has been bullied for having monolid eyes. And some have been bullied for "not fitting in". You have been made fun of for the way you looked and the people who said those hurtful words are going to have their downfall right in front of your eyes.

You're going to shine and people are going to talk about you, how much you have changed and Your recent glow up has people going crazy. Some of you may be doubting yourself. Aphrodite wants you to know that you're blessed by her. And someone who has been blessed by her is everything but "not beautiful"

Some of you are going to travel to the place you always wanted to in just a few weeks. I'm also seeing international travel.

give one to each harbinger

OHH this is gonna be fun!! Pierro, ironically, is getting The Weight of Knowledge- technically Dottore is more heavily associated with Knowlegde, of course, but uh..its not weighing on him. Dottore has fun with it, but Pierro has seen horrors beyond everyone's comprehension and acts like it. Capitano gets the chainmail. Because yes. Dottore has the decoy wallets- mostly because I dont think this dude has any real money (his budget is gone 1st of the month), but also because I can picture Webtorre throwing them at peoples faces. Columbina has the keys to heaven and hell, and you know exactly why. Arlecchino has the picture of- just kidding, she gets the Baby Toys and stuff, for the younger kids. Pulcinella gets Santiago. Scaramouche has the heart on the string. He hides it in the little pocket on his back. It's one of his three most treasured posessions, the other being the golden feather and the little puppet he made. Sandrone gets the glock, because she deserves it. La Signora has the rose for her beloved, tragically dead, Rostam Pantalone has the Cement, he sells it for higher profits. Aaand finally, Childe gets the picture of Ma- assuming it's his mother and not a random old lady. Which, I suppose, would leave Crucabena with the cyanide pill- not in case of HER capture, but for the kids. You know. Like a responsible parent. This was really fun!! Feel free to send more of those xD

Dance of knives and love

in their joined origin story, they describe their relationship in this scene like this :

Sometimes allies, sometimes foes. More than friends. We hold love for each other, but we’re not lovers. That word confines us. So what are we?

How does this ‘arrangement’ work? well, most of the time they work independently, and because their methods contradict each other, they often ruin each other’s plans. Sometimes, Ed would hold the whole city captive in a riddle based escape room. This is bad for Oswald’s business, it disturbs deals and makes his staff busy. To retaliate, he either does it alone or works alongside Batman to defeat Ed’s game. If he’s working alongside Batman he’d find a way to sneak out Ed after his capture, if he’s too upset with him, he’d break him out of Arkham later on. Sometimes, Oswald anonymously tips off the GCPD or Batman to the whereabouts of other rouges to keep them out of his tail if he’s working on an important delicate project. Ed is not free from this and often finds his plans ruined and can immediately tell who ruined them. He doesn’t get caught here but takes the biggest share of the profits Oswald gets. Back in the scene I referenced above, they admitted to each other that they’d throw each other under the bus if they had to, and it was mostly admitting it to show trust ( a ‘ here I am being honest with you, will you take me? ) but they still get upset about it sometimes. They wouldn’t call themselves a traditional couple they’re more of a partnership *cough* QPR *cough* so they’d have split ups when they’re too upset, but they still know they love each other, and, to be fair, this arrangement makes things challenging for each other that it’s more often than not fun. Gotham is basically their playground.

Hi. I wanted to ask if I could make a dub of your comic on my youtube channel.Don't worry, you would be credited and I leave a link to your channel. Here some info thought if you agree:

-First and foremost,I'm not professional.Most of stuff I post on my channel are experimental to test my voice acting skills.

-I'm female and I have thin voice,which is often a problem when I do VA for guys.I use voice generated AI to help me with this.

-I'm not Native english speaker and my accent is mostly reveal this

-I don't expect payment.Like stated before,I do this mostly for fun and practice so it's for free

I understant when you don't agree.I just really like your comic and I would like to introduce it to other people.

Go for it sounds awesome I love to see it. Don't worry about payment You're also 100% allowed to monetize your video and keep all the profits.

just ask you don't use AI voice/ text to speech. I think this technology has its place but I'd rather have real people perform, especially for characters with more messy speaking styles like spikes with frequent ums and uhs and often inarticulate sentences or characters who have a tendency to get very emotional like cliffjumper, I rather a inexperienced voice actor try and fail to potray those emotions than a ai voice with a flat tone,

I rather you attempt the male characters voices yourself, or find someone to collaborate with. There are a lot of amateur voice actors who are always looking for something to work on. the ability to collaborate with other vas is a great non-acting skill to have in voice acting. idk if you would like to collab with other people, but I'll put this out here anyway if you're a dude with a dude-sounding voice and wanna possibly collaborate on an unofficial dub comment below

also, within lore, the cybertronian characters are all genderless, so even if a bot is masculine presenting in design and behavior to humans, doesn't mean they need to sound like a guy. I mean, I have thought of possibly putting together an official dub in the future and planned to let anyone of any gender, accent, or tone try out for any of the cybertronian characters and I would pick roles purely based on the performance, and how well they capture the character energy ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Yet another part of the Kidnapping A Supreme Archangel For Fun And Profit series (the profit is kisses, btw. If you even care)

How To Save An Archangel (The Angelic Assistant Story) (Rated T, 7.5k words)

Alternative title: "How To Cockblock An Archangel (And His Jealous Duke Of Hell Partner)"

Summary:

Agiel is happy with their position as the angelic assistant of the newly appointed Supreme Archangel Aziraphale. It does involve far less menial paperwork, which they usually love, and a lot more trying to keep His Divinity safe. But they like the Supreme Archangel, so they try their best to keep him away from the Grand Duke of Hell Crowley. If only Aziraphale could stop getting himself kidnapped and tortured, though.

And a little excerpt:

"Thank you, my dear. Truly." His Highness tipped sideways, a soft sound escaping soft lips. Everything about him was soft. It left Agiel feeling utterly terrified. "However, it is hardly necessary. Crowley will never harm me." His Divinity smiled. There was so much holiness in that smile that, despite the fact it was what Agiel was made of, it still left them with the urge to shield their eyes from it. And then His Highness left for Earth. Where he, true to the angel's worst fears, managed to get himself captured within minutes.

Hey y'all!!! Look at this funny picture of a cat!! Isn't he cute and squimpy?

Are you looking at me now? Are you paying attention? Could this beloved white american not-so-kindly redirect your limited time and attention to something more important then looking at funny cats on tumblr?

Do you see the Palestinian people are being genocided? Yes its real and it is happening right now, and contrary to what you've been taught, its wrong actually. It's more then wrong, it's so unbelievably goddamn evil that no amount of words I put here can describe the horrors of that have taken place in Gaza.

YOU SHOULD BE ANGRY

This is goddamn important and I will act patronizing to your face and write in blinding colorful letters if it means getting your attention. You should be paying attention to the words of the Palestinians, who are starving and dying. But I know the algorithm despises accuracy and instead favors profiting off of yalls attention which is more likely to be captured if there is a white face involved and it's "entertaining".

This is blatant racism.

And you are perpetuating racism if you ignore dying, starving Palestine children and only listen to the whitey crackers when they talk about Palestine. Palestinians do NOT have to be "entertaining" to you to deserve solidarity.

In two months it will have been a whole year of genocide for the Palestinians. A WHOLE GODDAMN YEAR.

Don't stop being loud and annoying about Palestine. Don't stop ruining people's fun because you're talking about Palestine. Don't give into "compassion fatigue" because TENS OF THOUSANDS of people are STILL DYING.

You can help save people's lives by donating to Palestinian fundraisers!!!

I've been been getting asks from Palestinians for donations lately, and while I can't personally donate because of financial issues, I answer each one, and none of those posts get attention! These are Palestines asking for much needed help but it's not entertaining enough.

I'd like to end this post by 1: sharing the links to the fundraisers again and asking y'all to donate any small amount of money even if it's just five dollars. Any amount helps. I will repost the words that they said themselves because you NEED TO LISTEN. 2: I am very aware that this post is incredibly hypocritical of me to make. But that doesn't make it less important. Hopefully though posting this we both learn to pay more attention to Palestinian voices and NEVER SHUT UP ABOUT THE GENOCIDE!!!!!!

Wyverns + the Divines

ALRIGHT ITS GONNA BE A BIG POST !! I did some visuals just so yall can have some eye candy~ anywho let’s get to it!

Wyverns are very magical / powerful beings , they’re also very, very, intelligent. They have cultures councils dialects etc and so when they went to discover the new realm they were trusting after discovering realm traveling via portals they couldn’t wait to greet the beings of this realm. Sadly their welcome wasn’t ideal, humans , werewolves, Witches, mei’fewa almost every being in the overrealm didn’t welcome the Wyverns with open arms. Which made the great Wyvern hunt era began which is actually before the Divine era! Wyverns weren’t outcasted by everyone of course , elves as well as some small groups of warlocks were opened to the Wyverns and wanted to be close to them! Wyverns decided to create a spell for other beings to be able to speak to them ( just cause I didn’t like that only the descendants of the divine were the only able to ) I do like the fact that Wyverns can reborn after a long period of time! So I am keeping that in, but there’s a way to interrupt that reborn process with strong magicks ..

Now let’s get into the divine warriors or the Wyvern hunters. Believe or not Esmund was the one who started to Trend of hunting the Wyverns within the group, at first Esmund fought of the Wyvern out of protecting Enki and Kul’zak. Then the thrill of it was something he hadn’t felt before.. Now Esmund and the rest were all in their mid teens to say the least ,t hem hunting down Wyverns were all for sport and for the prices Wyverns went for. During the Wyvern hunting era it was very difficult to actually uphold an actual body of a Wyvern since their bodies would disappear out of thin air it seems. So if you were able to capture a Wyvern and harvest their scales, feathers, bodily liquids ( any . Yes. Any ) , or more they went for top dollar. ( fun fact: Kul’zak as a gift for his friends actually made armor out of the scales of the Wyvern and for the ladies he gifted them feathered Woven dresses which would actually be the cloth Aphmau wakes in when she’s awoken in mcdS1) Anyways , yes the Group would trap, hunt, and profit out of this practice. Irene and Enki out of the group were magically gifted, out of the name of well research Enki and Irene wanted to see what exactly they can use the Wyverns in the sake of their magical properties. While prodding a Wyvern for blood , Irene had the urge to just… sip.. and she did just that , suddenly she felt a sharp rush in her body she felt stronger she felt like her abilities were heightened. Enki kept note of that. Esmund helped the two in their researched by collecting more and more Wyverns . Yeah uhh this isn’t exactly the story the divine warriors told anyone but it’s the truth. Over the span of a few years , they done it. They discovered how to create relics or at least a prototype of one, Shad was the first to test it out. It definitely worked he was stronger faster and he even began to use magic which he had none of before then. Now how they made the relic or the prototype wasn’t an easy task , Enki practically drained an adult Wyvern till it just died on its own. Irene and Enki do eventually figure out how to contain the soul of the Wyvern, in doing so as punishment by nature Irene and Enki ( I might make it all the warriors but I need some inspiration)bear a mark of their shame. To others these are holy divine marks told by the winners but to Wyvern kind they know the truth, Irene and her descendants will bear the darkened marks formed on her body and Enki bearing the horns and tail of a demon. As for the others they don’t need to worry about generational shame from the Wyverns but they still hold powerful relics. I’ll probably talk about the relics in another post but for now let me continue. When the hunters/divines turned into their 20s they wanted to turn their life around.. at least move on from the hunting of Wyverns and into helping the world, after Irene and Enki got punished they decided erm maybe that wasn’t the best move 🙄. So they released the Wyverns they captured on the condition they will never speak ill in their name ever or else. Which is why a chunk of history is kinda muddy of course some spoke of their story which is how the ‘ rumor ‘ of the divine warriors not being so divine… happened but how did Irene and Enki make some of the Wyverns trust them? It was purely of gaslighting that oh! We didn’t steal these Wyverns souls.. they gave it to us! As an offering of friendship. Shad managed to convince the councils of some Wyverns that what he preached was truth and gifted them their own relics (made out of a different material not Wyverns ). That’s all for the divine warrior portion for now …((I will make a post about the warriors in the future they aren’t JUST assholes dw))

OK LAST POINT!! Which is mainly Laurance n garroths connection to Wyverns :3 this one might be shorter than the previous one. How ungrth and Laurance met is a fairly simple one, ungrth as he did his patrol on guarding his kin. He heard a small cry in the distance of the forest, for ungrth it sounded like a hatchling and so he went out to find the source and he saw a small little 4 year old Laurance lost in the woods separated from his family ( bio ) who at the time didn’t know were gone. Ungrth was hesitant, he knew how humans were he know how cruel how selfish they were. After all he was there during the great hunting era. As he attempted to fly off , Laurance cried louder and louder. Something about his cry’s broke ungrth heart , he told himself this one time he’ll help a worthless human. He landed and walked over to the small boy who was curled up , when Laurance heard the sounds of leaves he darted his head up seeing a huge wyvern overhead. Laurances green eyes stabbed back into ungrth green eyes. In that moment ungrth forgotten his hatred for humanity, seeing a young man’s eyes as green as his suddenly just melted the heart of this wise wyvern. Laurance wasn’t afraid and ran to the Wyvern crying for ungrth. Ungrth couldn’t talk to him unless he said the spell, without hesitation he did . Ever since Laurance and ungrth were family. Ungrth eventually found out about Laurances bioparents passing and he was actually going to let Laurance into his clan but of course it was prohibited and ungrth gladly turned his back on his kin to be with the human he loved . He eventually found Laurance a great family to be with. I LOVE UNGRTH AND LAURANCES FOUND FAMILY RELATIONSHIP OK 😭( the Zvhals and ungrth are tight no worries.

Now for Garroth! So the romeaves actually never gave up Wyvern hunting. In honor of Edmund their ancestor! Garte fought a Wyvern and now it was for the oldest Garroth(age 14) to fight one as well, but Garroth hated this practice. He’s done his research on Wyverns due to Zianna wanting her sons to be educated and thought this was something for the dark ages to do but Garte demanded for Garroth to go out and slay a Wyvern. Garroth with his tail tucked between his legs shamefully went out to find a Wyvern. Hell in this day n age it’s fucking rare to find a Wyvern, Garroth was tempted just to take the tail of a bearded dragon . It’s been days since he went out he was actually going to do his plan B if he couldn’t find a damn Wyvern until.. he heard crash in the woods. Garroth went to find the cause and it was.. a small Wyvern , it was Raven , he was injured badly and arrow throw his wing . It had a cross ok it was one of his kingdoms ( Plot twist Zane(10) did it he was gonna prove that he was better than Garroth but anyways he couldn’t find the body so womp womp ) Garroth saw Raven hell this was his chance he can just mercy kill this Wyvern.. but it didn’t need mercy it just needed medical help. Garroth went up to Raven his sword out , Raven was going not back down from a fight but.. Garroth couldn’t do it he just couldn’t he fell to his knees crying. Fuck Raven was confused, Garroth told him he wasn’t going to hurt Raven but that’s crocodile tears to Raven. It took hours for Garroth to gain ravens trust, and I’m not saying like 2-4 I mean like 6-9 hours of just talking to Raven even though Garroth knew he wouldn’t hear anything back from Raven since he knew of the contract that Raven would need to do in order to speak. Raven after hearing this, huge 14 yr old finally submitted and allowed Garroth to help him. Raven gave Garroth some of his feathers and scales to show his father so Garroth wouldn’t be shunned by his father out of some form of empathy. Now Raven didn’t give Garroth the ability to speak to him until season2 when he came back from the Irene dimension. Either way Raven trusted Garroth from now on helping him send messages when asked as a thanks.

Pat O’Brian wasn’t a bad guy, he was just unlucky. So unlucky that he got himself roped into helping rob a chemical plant. And when the job went south, one of his teammates shot him. And then he fell into a vat of acid. And when he climbed out he fell into a vat of radioactive waste. And when he climbed out of that he fell into a vending machine full of that weird soda Gingold, getting soaked in the stuff. And then the vending machine fell over and crushed him.

One or more of those accidents had an unexpected side effect. When he eventually came to, he was not only alive, but had become so stretchable he could  basically shapeshift! And I guess his clothes had become stretchy too, sure.

Pat decided to use his powers to get revenge on his old teammates. After finding and beating them up brought him no fulfillment, he decided to turn them in to the cops. Turns out some of them had cash rewards posted for their capture, so he was able to make a little money out of the deal. Inspired, Pat fashioned himself a costume out of his clothes and started fighting crime for fun and profit as the superhero Plastic Man. Happily, as is the way of things, the good he was doing soon turned out more fulfilling than the money, and he turned his life around and became a superhero and role model for real.

Maybe he’s not so unlucky after all?

Nevermind The Eds Are Coming, how about a real "alien invasion AU" scenario with actual UFOs landing and declaring immediate hostility here's some fun sci-fi movie cliche ideas (with possible character deaths)

-Ed shocks everyone when he instinctively knows the alien language, says he learned it from [insert sci-fi movie/comic here]. Then he shocks everyone again when he inexplicably joins the aliens' side for gigglez, saying he's "found his people" (later it turns out it was all a ploy to learn their weaknesses and defeat them from the inside)

-Edd tries to be a mediator in order to negotiate peace. He tries to figure out the language by himself and almost works out a truce, but he makes a horrible mistake and insults them accidentally... either it gets him killed or he ends up hostage so that the aliens can use him for their demands

-Eddy can't help but come up with some way to profit from the situation.. he miraculously works some bargain with the aliens, convinces them to trade and exchange goods. It works for a while, then either he runs away with some precious alien artifacts he stole or he gets caught. Or he's the probably the one who surprises everyone with a change of heart, as he makes the Heroic Sacrifice (tm) when the great counter-attack happens, rousing everyone's morale

-Rolf quickly creates a stronghold for the resistance (like his home-fort in Ed... Pass It On). The aliens leave him alone for a while cause they are somehow scared of his farm animals. Think when humans see all sorts of weird intimidating creatures on an alien planet, but in reverse. Either that or he's the first to get killed cause he tried to take on the invaders head-on with his shepherd pride

-Jonny is the conspiracy theorist/survivalist who is crazy prepared. He easily survives the initial onslaught but then goes insane paranoid about anyone entering his hideout, which aggravates the situation and they have to kill him

-Kevin is the first one who stumbles upon a landed UFO by accident while riding his bike, and he thinks it's the Eds being up to some scam when three aliens walk out of the spacecraft. He calls them "space dorks" and laughs at them, and they promptly vaporize him on the spot. Either that or he's the jerk in the survivor group everyone has to put up with

-Sarah and Jimmy are captured for experimentation purposes. Poor Jimmy perishes out of fright before anything even happens, and Sarah goes on a rampage of revenge before escaping

-Nazz gets captured and ends up imprisoned in a cell for whatever reason. She frustrates her captors by being super-sassy and complaining about her enviroment lmao. Then she jumps at their distraction and goes full badass and escapes

-The Kanker sisters barely notice anything weird going on lmao. Or they scare the aliens off with all the biohazards coming from their trailer

Hello! I saw your tags on that batman villain post and clearly I don't know enough about killer moth! Would you mind sharing more about the moth signal/moth cave/etc, because I am FASCINATED

Oh my goodness YESS

So this is all based on Killer Moth's first appearance in Batman #63

Killer Moth was an inmate and we never actually get to learn his name, only that when he was released from prison he took on the role of the wealthy Cameron Van Cleer. While he was in prison, he *studied* Batman. Pieced together every interview and picture in order to construct a model of what the Batcave looked like and Batman's tool belt/equipment/etc., so then he replicated it but for crime

Mothmobile with radar, a trophy room, he invented guns that were impossible to trace. And, of course, the Moth Signal that as one guy points out, doesn't show anything, because it's in infra-red light

So Killer Moth makes a business out of selling these flashlights and then when people use, he gets a part of the profit from their heist. Killer Moth doesn't do much crime himself, just provides supplies and then acts as distraction to Batman.

So Killer Moth has equipped himself to match Batman in every way, except ...

Does he have a Robin? No, he answers, he has a GUN!

(I am endlessly entertained that the crime equivalent of Robin is a gun)

Further more, in his first appearance, Batman doesn't actually catch Killer Moth. Instead, Killer Moth catches Batman and Robin!

Killer Moth debates unmasking Batman, but decides instead to get Batman to show him the Batcave. There were some sections Killer Moth wasn't able to piece together from the his research, and he wants his Mothcave to be perfect.

Killer Moth leaves Robin tied up, threatening Batman that Robin will die if he doesn't drive Killer Moth the Batcave. Luckily, Robin escapes and uses a police radio to let Batman know he's safe.

Now is the perfect time to capture Killer Moth, Batman thinks, he can just drive him to police headquarters.

Only, Killer Moth *also* is tuned in to the radio. He recognizes the trap, leaps from the car and then they chase each other until eventually Killer Moth dives into a river and evades capture.

Overall a really cool and competent adversary, right? So why is he so lame in modern cannon?

Because in the follow up in Batman #64, Killer Moth gets out of the water only to run into some other crooks who laugh at him for being wet 🤷🏾

It's such a let down from this guy who was as good as Batman. I feel like he could have lasted longer as a guy who steps in every now and then and makes it harder for Batman to catch the crooks. Plus, you can get more fun scenes of Bruce Wayne and Cameron Van Cleer are dining together only to see the Bat signal/Moth signal and they both make awkward excuses to leave and are relieved when the other goes along so easily

Joker's first appearance also had him mysteriously disappear into the water, and I am definitely bitter that Joker still gets to be menacing while Killer Moth is reduced to this.

Whumptober 2023 Day One: Swooning

Masterlist

TW: mind control, hypnotic induction, vampiric blood drinking

It's late at night, the moon is high overhead, and you've been on your feet for over ten hours now.

At least it's over, at least for eight hours or so, enough time to go home, get some food and a few hours of sleep before you're called back in to deal with the same shit on a different day. You make your way through the darkened office on your way to the parking garage. There doesn't seem to be a single soul around, every computer powered down and conference room closed up, the only light coming from the wall-mounted screens that show company profits and upcoming mandatory fun events.

You're eerily alone.

"Um, excuse me? Is someone there?"

Or apparently not.

You turn, and see that one of the desks is occupied by a young woman in a blue dress with flowing dark hair. You might have seen her before, passed her in the hallways or exchanged small talk at a meeting, but you're not sure, and you certainly don't know her name. Her eyes seem unnaturally bright in the dim light of the empty office, illuminated by her laptop screen.

"Sorry to bother you, but there's no one else around, and I think I got locked out of my laptop. Do you know how I can reset my password?"

"...Sure." You do a poor job of hiding the momentary displeasure on your face. You're dead tired and just want to leave, but it is a simple enough request. Maybe you haven't seen her before -- she must be new. "On your phone, you can email support desk at seaport bank dot com and ask for a password unlock. Got it?"

Her smile doesn't show her teeth. "Got it."

She's still staring at you. It makes you feel uneasy. "Well... have a good evening, then," you say, taking a step away.

"Be still."

Your eyes widen in shock as your muscles freeze in place. You can't take that step. You can't do anything but look at the woman.

"That's it, nice and still," she says, still with the same unsettling smile on her face. "And be quiet, not that there's anyone here to hear you."

Instinctively, you try to scream, but the sound dies before it can pass your throat. Your attempt to move only tenses your muscles as you remain firmly rooted in place. Still.

"Relax," she says, leaning forward and observing you. "Just relax, pet. You're fine. Everything is fine."

Relaxation washes over you despite your fear. You can feel your muscles unclench, your limbs going loose and heavy. Your brain struggles to catch up with what's happening here. Is this an illusion, brought on by sleep deprivation and stress? Are you going to wake up at your desk, the strange dream of a psychic co-worker fading to nothing?

"That's it, just relax." She's swaying rhythmically now, and your body sways with her. You helplessly watch as she moves her fingers in time with the rhythm, capturing your gaze with fluttering hand gestures, back and forth. The world around you begins to dim as your focus narrows only on her.

She begins beckoning inward, motioning as though she was a puppeteer pulling on your strings. You feel yourself taking a step forward, and then another. "Yes, that's it. Come closer," she sings. "Closer, and deeper into my power."

You sleepwalk towards her, vision tunneled on nothing but her eyes and her hands, your thoughts slowing and your mind growing foggy. A small voice inside you warns you of the danger, but you want to be closer, need to be closer. 

You're standing in front of her now, still swaying gently. She motions downward, and you kneel, and she smiles and pets your hair. "Very good," she says. "So docile." Your heavy eyelids flutter.

She tilts your chin up to look into her eyes, and you can see the entire night sky in there, swirling around your head like a planetarium show. "You won't remember a thing," she says. "Forget, forget, forget, and go to sleep."

There's a brief moment of recognition. You've seen her before. You've been here before. And then your mind slips. You need to forget, and you do. You feel yourself nod drowsily as your eyes close down all by themselves.

The hand that was under your chin now pulls your collar aside, brushing your neck with a delicate touch. She runs the same hand through your hair as she tips your head to the side. It's familiar, but you need to forget. Need to submit. Something you know in a place deeper than conscious memory.

Her hands are so cold as grasps you, prepares you. "Feel no pain," she whispers in your ear. "Relax, sleep, and forget."

"Yes'm," you mumble in your sleep, the first words you've spoken since she ordered you to be quiet, a world away from this.

Something sharp grazes the side of your neck, and you do not flinch or shy away. The pinprick pressure does not hurt you. Your mind drifts further, so far away, as she drinks from the wounds, warm blood flowing from your helpless body. 

After a few moments of peace where the only thing in the world is the sound of her feeding, you start to feel dizzy, your knees trembling and your head sinking further towards your chest. You do not wish to deny her what she needs, but there's a sleep coming over you that's stronger than even her spell, and you can't stave it off for long. The dizziness suddenly increases, and you swoon into her arms. She rubs your back in slow circles as she feeds from you, and everything else fades away into oblivion. 

You will forget this, as you have every time before, waking up at your desk exhausted and hungry, assuming you fell asleep there before you could leave for the night, and nothing will change.

(Sighs) Look, I've gone deep into the barbarian aus, so-

Very self-indulgent TFP!fic where some Others (including humans) from Earth found themselves on Cybertron as they pushed back a Quintesson invasion on their home planet. Elsewhere functions as a nexus of liminal spaces; time and space are warped as gateways to other planets (and universes) open and close.

Like TFP Sparkling!AU with the barbian/city-dweller twist. Also, humans-into-Cybertronians and Magic-Exists!AU because it’s my ridiculous, self-indulgent AU. (Ehhh, more like human characters that always been Cybertronians, but whatever; humans found themselves on Cybertron because of Quintesson invasion/expansion in the Milky Way or something, and they mixed into the locals since Cybertronians and humans are very much cousins and there are members in their respective species that will bang a monster for fun and profit.)

So, D-16 is the most “civilized” one. Like no, D-16 is no senator’s son, nor does he hail from a high-caste lineage. He’s the bitlet of miners and a child slave worker, but he has creators that try their best for their unexpected, little one. Little D-16 had been raised in a communal underground cohort and had never even seen the surface since he took his first cries. Of course, the supervisors get a train of newcomers, including a couple of sparklings from the untamed Wilds that were deemed too “much” for the sensibilities of the middle/higher castes. Too old to forget. And too violent to make it worth it an adoption.

Before Optimus was even Orion, there was a sparkling that scavenged in the Wastelands. He’s a goddamn, feral raccoon with the tenacity of a seagull and a crow's love for tasty things. He’s clever enough to avoid the obvious traps, but hunger had driven him to gamble his luck on a caravan. His luck ran dry since-

It was a raiding caravan, specialized in capturing creatures and mecha. And it was successful snatching a few beings, including June.

She came on a rescue mission and had managed to free a few other sparklings but was unfortunately caught when she made the choice between retreat or free a flyer with a teleporting ability to take the youngest ones.

The raiders were prepared for specific tribes that had practitioners and artificers because of the “monsters” that traveled with them, and shoved her into a cage that neutralized such abilities.

For some reason, magic falls under sigma abilities, so the suppression mechanisms work.

Cue Alpha Trion wandering in the “wrong” areas and completely missing his protégé-to-be/reincarnated little brother because of other mecha's last second decision change.

June/Juno is no dainty, wee thing that’s defenseless and cute. Oh no, gentle planets make gentle people. Young Earth was not a gentle planet, and its lost inhabitants made their home in the untamed wilds and Wastelands of Cybertron and warred with the natives to keep it as such. After she recovers, she’s a little hellion that confirms all the negative stereotypes that mecha in city-states have of the Wilders/barbarians of the Wastelands.

The only reason why she wasn't bought by another party is because she's a monoformer and seemed to have none of the famed talent. It would have been too much to bring this little ankle biter to yield without the fantastical benefits to offset it.

Same to be said with Orion-to-be. That sparkling had broken a mech's wrist, straight down to the struts with his teeth. It took a couple of shocks from an electro-staff for him to let go because he was trying his damn best to break something off.

No matter her appearance, June is still a descendant of a hybrid coupling, so many things were a learning curve between them and her. Same with a feral, little nameless convoy.

She got terribly sick with a basic Neocybex language installment. Feverish, delirious, and unable to keep down Energon.

A few of the more tenacious miners still alive and kicking had managed to keep her fueled with a slurry mixture of clay, coal, and crushed crystals. Liquid is easy to purge, but the clay and coal will coat the tank and keep it settled.

Downloads from slugs and chips do not agree with her, so she needed to learn and absorb the language on her own.

Orion got his name for the trouble he gets into for every scrap of fuel and for his keen senses. Little thing isn't afraid to rummage into the scrap pile or to claw his way up the shafts to get a tiny cluster of crystal root. In fact, Scraplet was a major contender for his name, especially since he had a habit of biting people.

Orion had a tendency to use proto-language, even with the full access of basic Neocybex and Kaonite. He struggles with using full sentences. Frustration had led to biting, and that isn’t good, especially at his age where he can do damage with his thick denta. Sometimes, he refuses to speak and just flops into the pen with all the younger sparklings, much to the amusement to the Watchers: mecha too old and worn down for the long hours.

The adults were confused by June's adamant refusal to part with her flimsy dressings. (Sigils and runes sewn into the hardy fabric to hide her magical presence.) And then alarmed over her thin armature. More malleable like a newspark rather than an active sparkling. No wonder she gets sick easily!

It's due to her heritage. The mix between Earth and Cybertron meshed well. The inhabitants had gone local, and their descendants had to adapt with every new generation. In June's (and others like her), they have a far more extended development for plating density and growth. It helps limit the strain on their mothers, and some tribes utilize it to carve sigils while soft before hardening.

Eating a large amount of raw minerals and metals. Orion has a similar habit, but due to deprivation.

D-16 manages to strike up a friendship with them due to proximity and that his creators' cohort took them on.

He likes the pictures Juno draws in the dirt between shifts as everyone rests together.

Language is a slow process for different, yet similar reasons. Juno's lexicon isn't compatible with Ilmentite - a Neocybex dialect used by underground Tarnians (fitting as its name comes from a common mining metal), nor does she have the heavy plating and long streaks of biolights to communicate. Orion, however, struggles with verbal communication and has the body language of a wild animal rather than another mech.

Juno is fast and slippery, and if it wasn't for the tracker/inhibition collar, then she would have escaped. She's able to slip between tighter spaces with her lack of bulk. Unfortunately, she has a tight leash, so she can drop to the ground when she passes a certain perimeter.

Orion and Juno get confused over D-16's queasiness over eating a dead animal. It's drained and it isn't sick, what's the matter?!

Someone (D-16 or his parents) needs to stop Orion from rummaging through the garbage.

Summary : You've captured the scene you've never thought you will encounter

Pairing: Scarlett Johansson x Wife!Mother! Reader

Warning : Angst, Cheating

Word count: 1,180

A/N : Didn't proof read this

No one has permission to repost my work anywhere, if you see it please let me know.

A cold night; you're in the middle of the kitchen, sitting in the stool while sipping your 5th glass of wine, looking down at the bittersweet wine in front of you, you start to trace your middle finger around the mouth of your wine glass

Your mind racing miles away, from thoughts-to thoughts-to-facts and everything, you're so lost in your own mind that you didn't hear the car engine of your wife parked in the garage outside of the cold rainy night but you've got noticed that your wife is home when you heard the front door open and close so you take a sip of your wine

"Y/N?" Scarlett frown seeing the only source of light is in the kitchen and her wife is their sitting in one of the stall with a glass of wine and an half empty bottle of wine, she always-well the past few weeks-she always come home so late that she will come home with all the lights off and her wife is already asleep

"Y/N, why are you still up?" Scarlett put her bag down in the couch, putting her keys in the bowl in the coffee table, taking off her coat, hanging it in the sofa back but you didn't response

"Hey, why aren't you asleep?" Scarlett whisper softly, resting her hands in your shoulder and kiss your head from the back then walk around to the table stool and get herself a glass of water

"How does she taste?" You said coldly while looking at your wine and swirl around the wine glass

"What?" Scarlett frown in confusion, turning around to look at you at the other end of the kitchen in front of you with the glass of water in her hand

"I bet you enjoy your time tonight" you chuckle dryly and take out the picture you captured hours ago, when you decoded to pay your lovely wife a visit, why? - you don't know cause apparently you have so many reason why you visited her- and throw it forward not enough to fall down the table

"The sweet sweet Scarlett, tasting heaven again" you sip your wine while leaning back to the chair your sitting while Scarlett finished the half of glass water then walk to the opposite table you're in with a frown, still confused

"What is this?" then she take the upside down printed photos you take out

"A little affair......." you look at her face to see her reaction while sipping your wine and once Scarlett flip the picture, her blood leave her  body instantly, seeing herself and her assistant in her office in the Outset studio, her sitting on her swivel chair while her assistant on top of her, doing the deeds 

"Ho-how do you-" you cut her off leaning forward and pour your 6th glass of wine for tonight

"Tell me does she ride you pretty good? is she tight? does she-"Scarlett look at me tring to get a sentence out but I keep walking

"Y/N lis-" I didn't let her get to talk

"Does she sound good? is she rocking your world?-"

"Please Y/N-"

"Does she clench around your dick deliciously? Tell me Mrs. Johansson....How does the sex with her" you look into her eyes with hatred and this make Scarlett speechless

"Go on, since I finally prove that I'm right, why don't you discuss with me your little fun affair with your assistant?" Scarlett bite her lower lip and take a shaky breath while going around and stand besides Y/N

"Baby don't please" Scarlett whisper beg, deep inside her she knows how this will end

"What? come on, share your fun story with your wife" Scarlett put down the picture in front of them upside down, while looking at the side profit of her wife

"No, baby.......I know what you're thinking and....ho-how this will end......I'm begging you baby please...........don-dont' do it......please I'm begging you" Scarlett start to kneel besides Y/N while holding her legs tightly and rest her forehead in her wife's side knee

"Johansson-" Scarlett quickly shook her head no and interrupt you, tears already running down her cheeks

"No please, for our son, please......baby, for the sake of our son...............please I love you, I'm sorry" you gulp your last sip of your wine and stand up, to the other side of the chair and turn your back on your wife

"yeah for the sake of our son......" Scarlett look up at you, hoping you wouldn't leave

"Please baby...please-" you cut her off and she stand, approaching you but got stop with your words

"For Ethan.......I would rather give him a broken family more than lie to his face and pretend that this didn't happened......" you turn around looking deeply on her teary eyes

"I wouldn't raise my boy with full of lies" with that you turn around and proceed to leave the kitchen, leaving your wife crying mess in the middle of the kitchen

"And since you know the drill........me and Ethan wouldn't be here tomorrow morning when you wake up, my lawyer will send you the divorce paper...........if you want to see or have time with your son, give me a text or call before you pick or visit him up" you said when you're in the foot of the stairs

"I'm not gonna take your rights to be his other mother but he will come home to me at the end of the night.........." you make eyes contact to her, her eyes and body language is screaming of plea of you to don't do this, it also shown regret, sadness and guilt in her eyes

But you can't be fooled by that again, never after the countless time you give her a chance to open up to you, to tell you the truth and let you help her but she turn it down and have her ways

"Hope you'll be happy and find your happiness with your new partner" with that you walk up the stairs, going to your 1 year old son to give him a kiss goodnight and go to the guest room to spend the night

You have many things you wanted to say to her, you wanted to let her know how much she hurt you, how you felt and you wanted to punch her until your energy will drain, you wanna take it all out of her in any form, in words, throwing things at her, violence you don't care, you just wanted to take it all out of her so she knows how badly she hurt you, but you know to your self that you can't

Not at least at your state, you're drunk but still in your senses, but the real reason is, you just couldn't see nor let yourself hurt her, the person you love from life and beyond, you couldn't hurt her even tho she hurt you so much

YOU JUST COULDN'T
