MEET YOUR CONTESTANTS!

A Hat In Time spoilers under the cut!

Name: Hat Kid

Age: “normal kid age (aka we have no idea)”

Gender + Pronouns: “usually called a little girl by others and she/her, I guess? I dunno it’s not rlly often anyone refers to them in the third person I think.”

• “Smug Female Child (according to the wiki)”

Video Game: A Hat In Time

Backstory: “Came onto Earth because she lost all the Time Pieces that fuel her rocket ship and needs to recollect all of them to get back to her home planet.”

• “The mafia accidentally dumped her spaceship fuel onto the surface of a planet, so she has to get it back. That's pretty much it.”

• “Small child with a big spaceship trying to get timepieces back to power their ship after they are taxed by the mafia “

• “She's a humanoid alien who is trying to recover her lost Time Pieces, the fuel for her space ship, so she can go home. She explores a town overrun by the mafia, a haunted forest, a movie studio, and other places to find them.”

• “A little glien girl gets stranded on a strange planet when her space ship loses all the "time pieces" that fuel it. In order to get it up and running again, she has to search the planet for all the pieces. Only problem is: the time pieces are very powerful, and the inhabitants of the planet have very different ideas about what they should be used for. This makes getting her ship working again very difficult.”

• “Little alien girl gets mildly invaded, loses her time pieces. She then proceeds to get them all back, beating the ever living crud out of those in her way, if need be. She also befriends most of them.”

Why should they win the tournament?: “I think she could beat the shit out of any of these children you put her against. Probably. She’ll whack you with her umbrella and if that doesn’t work she’s got a shit ton of badges and hats that could equally fuck you up. Or silence you. Or just make her faster. She’s literally just some alien kid who landed here and is ready to either save the planet or goof off so hard it nearly destroys it. We love her for it.”

• “Hat. Nuff said.”

• "They're a great protagonist with great smug energy”

• "She's an adorable gremlin. She makes the ghost who steals her soul into her BFF by modifying a contract he makes to try and kick her out, crashes a cruise ship, and joins a cat gang.”

• “Hat Kid's go-to problem solving strategy is "beat the problem with my magic umbrella/bat until it goes away" and it usually works. Sometimes the "problem" is a person, though, and then there's a high chance they end up becoming her friend after she's beaten them silly. But my point is that Hat Kid's Defining Character Trait is that she will fight anyone and win. List of notable people this kid has beaten the shit out of: - the head of the Mafia - a Western Movie Film Director (who happens to be a bird) - a Disco Movie Film Director (also a bird) - a malevolent forest spirit who steals souls (who happens to be a lawyer. and also a cursed prince) - another child. - the head of the Yakuza (who happens to be a cat)”

• “She's amazing and I love her. Also she's super cool and can fight everyone here and probably win. Maybe. She also had a laser in her umbrella and can double jump. Smug dance.”

Hello, happy Friday! I just wanted to let you know how much I’m enjoying Prince of Darkness. Omegaverse scratches an itch in my little gremlin brain, and your alien take on it has been really fun to read— I, like Charles, just want to wrap Max up in a blanket and take care of him 🥲

Also Charles x Max’s unruly tail is the duo I didn’t know I needed! The way Max is always reaching for him even when he doesn’t want to, and Charles wanting to reach back but afraid to overstep 🤲🥺

(This is also me choosing not to perceive the blinking red light at the end of chapter 15 🙃😭😂)

Happy Friday!!!

I'm glad you're enjoying so far ❤️ Omegaverse has always been my favorite dynamic to read and fits this universe I think.

Max's tail is everything!!! I'm constantly thinking about it and what would it do in a scene. His tail is really the only physical extension of his Oozaru/Alpha instinct that it has control over, and it's not afraid to make it clear when Max is being a complete idiot.

As for the light . . . well, you'll just have to keep reading to find out just what or who that could be?

More Potential Highlights of Jim using his Alien Form.

1. Nari and Pesky Dust flying through the air and making the small children of Arcadia believe in fairies, specifically the tooth fairy.

2. Blinky or Aaaarrrgh sneakily picking up pieces of Swampfire and chomping the delicious bits of Jim's plant alien.

"Guys"! Shouts Jim 😥

"Eh, sorry" 😅

3. Gravattack using his powers to entertain kids, both human and Troll whelps. A fun activity at the Arcadia Observatory is having the kids make abd paint their own planets out of round styrofoam and levitating them so kids could understand planets and their orbits.

4. Jim using Gravattack to launch his allies, Kanjigar, at enemy attackers only to pull them back to safety.

5. Toby and Jim as Terraspin trying to work out a power move were Toby can ride on his friends back weilding his Warhammer.

6. Skrael threatening to freeze Steve for being a nuisance only for Jim to turn into Alien-X and giving a warning look.

7. Jim using Big Chill to create a winter wonderland in summer Arcadia, including an ice rink.

8. Jim as Echo-Echo acting as base to one of "D.J Klebs" concerts (like the Loudred from the Detective Pikachu movie)

LMAO So accurate.

Pesky Dust and Nari tend to do this quite a bit. One, it's a lot of fun. And two the look on kids' faces seeing them is worth it. If there was an influx of fairy princesses/princes then it's obvious why.

Jim just stares. He does have to clean up the pieces or damage from his forms so the Swampfire fragments being troll food is a bizarre way to do it. Also Canon Troll Jim was definitely tempted to try a piece but decides not to make the situation even weirder.

He absolutely does both with Gravattack! Kids love it whenever Jim can perform a show for them. If he has a bit of extra time, sometimes he'll perform little skits with origami. Paper dragons that float around to a paper chicken sitting on a parent's head.

When it comes to his allies, Gravattack is great at keep away. He made sure his friends knew when he's about to pull a gravity style team attack as Jim rather not have them unheroically bonk their head. If someone can't get out of the way in time then he pushes the threat away.

When it comes to combo attacks, Toby and Jim brainstorm a LOT. With Terraspin they decided to take a page from Mario and Luigi RPGs with the 'Bros Attacks'. One such example is Toby spinning alongside Jim as he holds his hammer out. Basically like a Beyblade but with a hammer taped to it.

Jim gives Skrael an alternative to get back at Steve without freezing the guy solid. If he's being annoying then toss a snowball at his face. That or dump ice cubes down Steve's shirt. Why freeze him solid when you can be a petty gremlin?

Jim does this if Arcadia gets hit with an unbearable heatwave. While Big Chill brings in the snow, Articguana sculpts various ice structures for a city wide snowball fight. He usually handles clean up once everyone has their nice cold fun.

He absolutely done a few D.J Kleb concerts as Echo Echo. Jim practically fits in the club scene and is often testing sound equipment. If Echo-Echo can't get a sound out from a certain instrument, record or item then it's confirmed broke.

One time he did mess with everyone by transmitting dumb puns and jokes through the loud speakers. You can say his Echo-Echo has a bit of gremlin to it.

Named Ginger Cats in Live Action Films A-M

I’m compiling a database of every ginger cat in the media. See the master post for all forms of media here.

N-Z appear in their own post because this post contained too many links for Tumblr. The cat from Breakfast at Tiffany's is on the named list because I have too many unnamed film cats already. Garfield is listed under comic strips. Azrael is listed under Animated Shows.

If I am missing any ginger cats, please comment so it can be added to the list.

Yes, some of these cats are in black and white films. But they're played by a cat named Orangey, so they're on the list.

The Fish Prince (Royal Tracy Au) - Chapter 3 -

Okay guys here’s the next bit and I just want to thank you guys for all of your support with that comment, it really meant a lot to me ❤

Okay I hope you guys enjoy. 

Prev | Next 

---

As the car drove through the gardens that adorned his home, Gordon spotted his family lined up outside the palace entrance in their winter clothes, his father front and centre.

Wow, they’re really throwing out the red carpet, Huh? Gordon thought with a grin, barely resisting the urge to jump up and down in excitement like a child on Christmas. 

He missed them so much! 

Gordon almost jumped out of the car the second the footmen opened the car door but restrained himself, getting out at a speed more suited for someone of his status. 

Like he cared about that...but his father did, so….

Gordon came face to face with his stoned-faced father, his brothers standing to attention slightly behind him. Other than the fact that Scott was holding Alan on his hip, (the kid looked like he had just been woken up from a nap or desperately needed one) the air was thick with a formality that their life adhered to. 

He took a deep breath and gave his father a salute, barely able to keep himself from grinning like a loon. “Gordon Tracy, reporting for duty, sir..” It was so weird to salute his father, but his father was the king, which meant that he was his superior and commander. 

His father nodded, the corner of his mouth twitching up, “we missed you, son..” His Dad chuckled, laying his hand on his shoulder and the formal spell was broken; his brothers quickly broke ranks to tackle him with hugs.

“We missed you fish, I almost forgot what it was like to be pranked!” Virgil grinned, messily ruffling his blond hair. 

“Ahhh no! Not the hair!” Gordon pulled away with a laugh, fixing his hair up while the others laughed. “It took me forever to get it right…” 

“Oh, I thought you just woke up like that..” John teased with a smile, coming to stand next to him, laying his hand on his arm. “It's good to see you, Gordon…”

“It’s good to see you too, Johnny!” Gordon grinned, the corners of his mouth starting to hurt with how much smiling he was doing, “So how have the stars been? Seen any aliens lately?” 

John rolled his eyes with a slight chuckle, “Remind me again why we missed you?-”

“I think it’s a mild case of insanity..” Scott commented with a grin, reaching out to ruffle Gordon’s hair, messing it up again; this time beyond repair. Alan shifted in Scott’s arms, the kid starting to wake up. 

“-And don’t call me Johnny…” John's grumble went ignored. 

“Gordy?” Alan wondered softly as he sleepily rubbed at his eyes, “Gordy!” Alan cheered, a big grin adorning his little freckled face, ”Scotty! Put me down!” Alan cried, starting to wiggle in Scott’s arms, seeming to have bounced wide awake in his excitement.

Dad frowned. 

“Woah! Woah! okay, okay! Stop wiggling before I drop you, kiddo...” Scott yelped, doing his best not to drop Alan, who was doing his best to counteract that. “you’re happy now?” Scott asked slightly sarcastically as he set Alan down, who ignored him in favour of torpedoing Gordon.

Dad’s frown deepened.

“Gordy!” Alan tackled his waist, causing Gordon to take a step back to stop himself from falling over. Gordon would have for sure fallen over if it was for Virgil catching him slightly. 

“Wow! Where did this little gremlin come from?!” Gordon teased with a grin, wrapping his arms around Alan, whose head barely came up to his waist. “Did you shrink while I was gone?” 

Alan pulled away from him with a look of distaste; his button nose scrunched up. “I didn't shrink! You're the one that's short!”

“Alan…” Scott warned, raising an eyebrow. 

Alan froze and blinked up at Scott, before crossing his arms in a pout, “Sorry..” Alan muttered, averting his eyes away but while no one was looking, Alan quickly stuck his tongue out at him. 

Gordon grinned, about to retaliate when-

“Alan Tracy!” Dad snapped, causing Alan to jump and look over at Dad; the kid’s eyes wide with fear. “Don’t stick your tongue out at your brother! He is your senior and deserves your respect! Apologise right now!” 

“Dad, calm down...” Scott said, looking at their father with a slight frown. “He was just messing around, you don’t need to yell at him like that...” 

Dad’s eyes narrow slightly at Scott, grunting in distaste. 

Okay, so the weird power dynamic between Dad and Scott when it came to raising Alan was still very much a thing, Gordon thought with a slight frown feeling the tension in the air as Scott and Dad had a whole conversation with just their stares. 

And so was the fact that Alan’s relationship with Dad was still on rocky grounds if the kid’s reaction was anything to go by, Gordon sighed deeply, watching as Alan inched his way behind Scott’s legs, away from Dad’s glaze. 

Gordon really didn’t understand why their Dad was so hard on the kid, Alan already had it hard enough with his health causing him so much misery. Allie didn’t need the added pressure from Dad. 

No wonder the kid flocked to Scott…

The States and 2P America

So the 2ps get to the 1p world after making a truce with their counterparts and escaping their collapsing world where they're the only survivors. They then proceed to live with their 1ps in a crazy roommate sort-of situation. The only problem is that when Allen gets to Alfred's house it's this huge mansion and one of the states opens the door making him very confused as he never had states of his own and his idiotic 1p is the father of 50 kids!

"What the *beep* Porkchop?! Since do you have fifty little brats runnin’ around?!"

Alfred gives him a full rundown on finding/raising the states and then proceeds to draft him into babysitting! At first, Allen tried to ignore them but then faces the painful realization that leaving 50 states alone is never a good idea. After finally rounding up everyone he could find and freeing the thirteen (most responsible being Delaware and Virginia) from being trapped in the barn by their younger siblings, he does a headcount.

Allen: Okay one, two, three.....45. We're missing five! Where's Nevada, Hawaii, Alaska, Texas, and New Mexico?

Random state raises their hand: I think Nevada's in Vegas gambling again. He goes there a lot to triple his allowance!

Another state: I remember Texas said something about rodeos and bull riding all the way to Dallas. Also, Alaska and Hawaii left a note saying something about hanging out with New Mexico and Tony in Roswell!

Allen: But we're in D.C.! How did they get all the way over there in 3 hours?! *States shrug while Allen looks close to screaming into the void* Okay, everyone into the bus! We're going to get your siblings!

Cue cross country road-trip like the hangover where, after hours of getting lost in Disney Land, Delaware’s nagging about being the oldest and most mature much to Massachusetts chagrin because he’s clearly got better colleges, getting into a dance contest in Maine, keeping Arizona from getting stuck in the Grand Canyon for the hundredth time, Wisconsin participating in a cheese eating contest, Maine cooking seafood, Georgia making 30 peach cobblers, Colorado making a giant igloo, Washington and Oregon's hippie phases making a return, playing hockey in Minnesota, fishing Michigan out of the great lakes, New Jersey getting stalked by the Jersey Devil who’s like that stray cat that keeps following you around, keeping New York from starting a fight at Yankee’s game, gator wrestling in the Florida everglades, getting dressed for Mardi Gras in Lousianna, getting lost in Iowa’s biggest corn maze, the Dakota twins almost killing the Carolinas for trying to graffiti Mt. Rushmore (there’s a bit of a twin rivalry), avoiding the secret service less they get caught and ratted out to Alfred, seeing Old Faithful at Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming and trying to keep Alabama from sticking his head in it on a dare, crossing the Mississippi, running from rodeo clowns that Tennessee angered after he picked a fight with them for insulting his country music, finally picking up Texas with his new Rodeo bull-riding championship belt and tying him up with his own lasso, various misadventures, including recuing Idaho from an accidental marriage, in Vegas that will stay in Vegas, finding/grounding Nevada from gambling after he almost lost 50 grand and Wyoming to a circus, they finally arrive in Roswell.

Allen, too tired to care at this point: Alright! Who's this Tony New Mexico, Hawaii, and Alaska said they we're with?

Maryland: He's Dad's cool alien friend from 1947. New Mexico likes hanging out with him in his spaceship playing pranks on Britain and the other nations!

Allen hardly believes her but is too tired to care at this point: A-Alien? Sure, why not?! Let’s just go get them! Maybe we’ll run into Nessie too!

Iowa whispering to Ohio: But isn’t Nessie in Scotland?

Ohio: *shrugs*

After falling into a series of booby traps a la Alaska, they finally track down Tony’s ship in Alaska and find the three playing video games with Tony. It finally registers in Allen’s mind that there’s a real freakin’ alien in front of him playing Mario Kart.

Allen: T-t-that’s an….

State: Yep!

Allen: And he’s playing video games….

States: Yep!

Allen, not able to handle this anymore: *faints*

After a not so long drive back to D.C. courtesy of New Jersey’s driving, Getting KFC in Kentucky for supper with vegan salad for Allen and irritating said state in the process, and almost forgetting Rhode Island, they finally make it bake to D.C. and settle Allen down on the couch, gathering around him to watch a Marvel marathon acting like the innocent little angels they’re not. They also duct tape California’s mouth shut and tie her up with Texas’ lasso because she wouldn’t stop complaining about watching her newest one instead. Alfred finally arrives home from a meeting in Berlin around the time they finish Doctor Strange and sees Allen crashed on the couch with the states around him.

Alfred: So did you have a good time with Uncle Allen?

States: We sure did!

Wisconsin bragging about his trophy made entirely of cheese: I’m the king of cheese once again!

Alfred: Great! Now it’s off to bed everyone!

States: Aww! But we wanted to stay up and play with Uncle Allen!

Alfred: No buts, you can play again tomorrow! Now off to bed!

The states start trudging up to their rooms with California finally being freed. Georgia putting a blanket over Allen, Hawaii putting a hibiscus print pillow under his head, and Maryland putting a note on the end table as they go out. Allen finally wakes up and Alfred, watching the rest of the marathon notices.

Alfred: You were awesome with them dude! I’m going to let you babysit from now on!

Allen: *Screams and faints again*

Alfred: Heh! He’s so excited! *Munches on popcorn*

The next morning Allen wakes up and reads the note: “Thanks for taking care of all of us today! We had a lot of fun, Uncle Allen! From the states. P.S. You were super cool playing baseball at Yankee stadium! Teach us sometime? Also, there's a salad for you in the fridge! :)"

He crumbles the note and puts it in his jacket trying not to break his tough-guy persona. But later when no one looking, he takes it out with a small smile and thinks these brats aren’t so bad after all.

Eventually, they grew on him and Allen comes to consider the all the states like his own secretly loving it when they call him Uncle Allen. They may be little gremlins but his gremlins and if you so much as touch one hair on their head you’ll get a face full of his nailed bat!

Just another day in the Jones’ household!

Meanwhile In Canada:

James is babysitting the provinces for Mathew and is currently in drill sergeant mode pacing in front of the nervous, with the exception of Quebec who's extremely excited, lined-up provinces. Kumajiro (cub) and Kuma (adult) are just chilling and watching them with whistles around their necks and cute little maple leaf hats courtesy of British Columbia.

James: All right, listen up! I’m going to teach you all how to rough it and survive out in the wilderness! Now, who knows how to start a fire?

All the provinces turn to stare at Manitoba.

Manitoba: Oh, come on! I set fire to Papa’s flannel shirt collection one time!

James: Okaaaaay ignoring that, everybody get into groups of two and I’ll assign jobs!

Nova Scotia raises her hand: But there’s thirteen of us!

James: Fine then, eenie meenie miny mo… *Points to Prince Edward Island* you! Prissy pants boy you're with me! We’re gathering firewood!

P.E.I. looking up from his mirror: Excuse me!? I’m not gonna get these designer clothes dirty picking up filthy wood!

James *facepalms*: Give me that! *Proceeds to chuck the mirror into the lake much to P.E.I’s horror and Ontario’s glee!*

(They don't get along because of P.E.I.’s arrogant personality and constant declaring himself in charge despite Ontario being the oldest and having the capital).

James: We’re out here to survive off the land which means no cell phones, no internet, and definitely NO BEAUTY PRODUCTS. NOW IS THAT CLEAR?!

Provinces: Sir, yes sir!

James being the big softie that he is but won't admit: Good! Now we meet back here by sunset and we’ll roast marshmallows!

Everyone hurries and gets on with their jobs with Alberta somehow ending up stuck in a tree and harassed by woodpeckers and Yukon and Saskatchewan being the most successful by communicating with/befriending a family of beavers that help them build a shelter. By the end of the day, James also feels a sense of fatherly protectiveness and pride over the provinces like Allen. he also secretly loves it when they call him Uncle James. Nunavut also manages to find bigfoot who helps gather food much to James’ shock!

Cat’s Not-All-Encompassing Character Ranking

Okay, so I have to admit that I omitted a lot of characters I don't have strong opinions on. Most of them were one-off akumas, so don't get your panties in a twist, your faves are probably still on here (and ranked lower than you think).

As a preface again, these are just my personal opinions. They can't hurt you. You can still like characters more or less than me. And I don't care how you feel about them. This list is for me. And the person that asked for it. So shut up. Go make your own rank list if you’re so butthurt. 

We're going in reverse order this time, starting from the bottom:

84. Gabriel Agreste- I mean, is anyone surprised? I am not private about how I think Gabriel should go to jail. Or fall off a cliff. Or be erased from existence. Rip to those that like him, but I’m different.

83. Thomas Astruc- Honestly, he’s down here on principle. Self-inserts are generally a no-no, and I just laugh every time I see him on screen because he really put himself in this show and said boohoo no one appreciates me XD

82. Bob Roth- I feel like this one should also be obvious. He’s just a dick. Terrible human. I give him 0 stars.

81. Tomoe Tsurugi- We all collectively hate her, right? It’s not just me?

80. Su Han- This mans has small peepee energy. And he bad mouthed Fu, so get FUCKED, my dude.

79. Rolland Dupain- Listen, I get it, he liked Marinette in the end, but I could do without the racism.

78. Nathalie Sancoeur- My opinion of Nathalie took a nosedive after the s2 finale. I just do not care that she is in love with her boss. Don’t care that she’s dying. Just do not have it in me.

77. XY- Justin Bieber ass wannabe.

76. Nora Cesiare- I didn’t care for Nora. I know Thomas loves her, but the overbearing sibling trope is tired.

75. Anarka Couffaine- I underestimated how much I don’t really like her. Like, it’s not full-on hate, but I just do not care for her.

74. Otis Cesaire- Got akumatized because a kid said he could outrun a panther. I’m still not over it, Otis.

73. Andre Bourgeois- No love for the crooked mayor. I hope your wife divorces you. 

72. Alec Cataldi- The real villain of Stormy Weather. Like fr why is he such an asshole?

71. Roger Raincomprix- Is Officer Roger just doing his best? Sometimes. But like sometimes this mans just needs to take a chill pill.

70. M. D'Argencourt- Please get out of the 1600s

69. Ella/Etta- These two are basically the same character, and I am indifferent to both of them.

68. KnightOwl/Barbara- Listen, I would have liked you more if you were less controlling.

67. Majestia- Same as above, but like I guess I like you more

66. Theo- *Mean Girls principal voice* Stay away from underaged girls!

65. Andre the ice cream man- I just want a scoop of chocolate, Andre. Is that too much to ask??

64. Amelie Graham de Vanily- We haven’t seen much of her, but she seems like a snake bitch.

63. M. Kubdel- I mean, if my son wanted to resurrect an ancient mummy and believed in aliens, I’d give the family heirloom to my daughter too.

62. Jalil Kubdel- Lolol, buddy, pal, dude, my guy. Chill.

61. Vincent (Adrien's photographer)- Head empty. Mom’s spaghetti. Idk he’s alright.

60. Manon- I don’t hate Manon. She just gets on my nerves every time she talks.

59. M. Ramier- This mans got akumatized a billion times because he gets emotional about pigeons. I mean, honestly mood.

58. Mme. Mendeleiev- She doesn’t put up with Chloe’s shit, and we respect her for this.

57. Baby August- Someone just give this mans some food. He’s a growing boy.

56. Santa Claus- If I were Santa, I too would list Ladybug as the best kid in the world.

55. Art Teacher- He doesn’t even have a name, but I vibe with him. He seems like he likes to paint scenes of nature with his pet squirrels.

54. Prince Ali- Lil mans just wanted to have a good time. I can respect that.

53. Duusu- Duusu, I get that your Miraculous was broken, but get with the program, girl. You is a hostage.

52. Other Kwamis- Idk, all the ones we haven’t seen as much. I don’t have real opinions on them yet. Just neutral.

51. Sass- He gives me dad vibes.

50. M. Damocles- You go, you funky owl man

49. Jean (Chloe's Butler)- He deserves a raise. What is your name, sir? We may never know.

48. Mireille Caquet- She’s pretty cute. No complaints.

47. Aurore Beaureal- Baby’s first akuma. I love her design. She’s a cutie.

46. Claudie Kante (Max’s mom)- This womans just wanted to go to space and live her dream. We stan a hardworking queen.

45. Hot Dog Dan- I like him more than Andre the ice cream fraud. Sure, my hotdog might turn me purple, but if I ask for chili on it, I bet he’d oblige.

44. Nadja Chamack- I mean, she’s doing her best.

43. Audrey Bourgeois- So, as I said in the episode ranking, I have a love-hate relationship with Audrey. She’s the worst, but that’s why I love her. I love her ironically. Like, yeah she’s atrocious, but I just want to watch her burn the world.

42. Luka Couffaine- Directly in the middle, like he’s always been.

41. Nathaniel Kurtzberg- My opinion of Nath improved after Reverser surprisingly. I ship it.

40. Chris Lahiffe- I like Chris better than Ella/Etta. He’s just a little mans out here living life wanting to grow up. Don’t believe it, Chris. Stay little forever. Being an adult suuuuucks.

39. Fang the Crocodile- The goodest boy.

38. Nooroo- I just want to give him a hug.

37. Mlle. Bustier- She’s doing her best, but I mean, when ya whole class keeps getting turned into supervillains, I’m surprised she’s not an alcoholic.

36. Penny Rolling- I just like her. I think she’s neat.

35. Ondine- Mermaid queen! She’s so sweet, and I love her with Kim. I hope we see more of her in the future.

34. Marc Anciel- Marc is a little cutie bean. Idc if he’s based off one of Thomas’s irl friends. He can stay.

33. Wayzz- He loves Master Fu so much I cry.

32. Felix Graham de Vanily- I know everyone hates canon Felix, but tbh he exudes massive chaotic neutral gremlin energy, and I actually kinda vibe with that. And he pisses with his uncle which is a whole ass mood.

31. Tikki- Tikki is very cute, but bby please work on the preaching. You don’t always know what’s right, babe.

30. Sabrina Raincomprix- Sabrina deserves better. I hope we see good things happen for her.

29. Lila Rossi- Surprised? I actually like Lila. The first fic I ever wrote for this fandom was a Lila redemption. I think she is a good antagonist and foil to Marinette. I absolutely want to see her get dunked on in canon, but that doesn’t mean I hate her.

28. Wayhem- I don’t know why, but Wayhem makes me laugh. I love him XD

27. Uncle Cheng- He’s just a good mans with a birb who wants to make you tasty food. What’s not to like?

26. Trixx- Trixx shot up after GoS. Chaotic bean make Eiffel Tower go bendy

25. Jess- She’s pretty cool. She’s a vibe.

24. Aeon- The cutest bean!!! She saw Adrien and Marinette and said yep. Those two are meant to be together. Jess, we gotta make it happen.

23. Ivan Bruel- Ivan is such a gentle bean. We love him.

22. Mylene Haprele- Smol

21. Fei Wu- I still have not watched the Shanghai special with subs, but I liked her.

20. Gina Dupain- The grandma I aspire to be.

19. Marianne Lenoir- I love her. She is good. She and Fu are so cute. And she seems like she would have kicked le ass back in the day. (and even now)

18. Rose Lavillant- I am so excited for Pigella!! Rose is too cute. We love her. 

17. Gorilla- aka Adrien’s real dad. If the series doesn’t end with Gabriel getting yeeted into the stratosphere and Gorilla adopting Adrien, I don’t want it.

16. Clara Nightingale- She’s in love with Marinette. You can’t change my mind. 16 is also how old I hc her to be, so don’t nobody come for me.

15. Tom Dupain- Most. Supportive. Dad. Soft bean. Just wants to make you fresh bread.

14. Sabine Cheng- Good mom vibes. We love to see her.

13. Juleka Couffaine- Shy goth bean. Just wants to have her picture taken. Definitely a lesbian. We stan.

12. Nino Lahiffe- The goodest boy. He’s just out here doing his best, loving his friends.

11. Chloe Bourgeois- Chloe is another one I have a love-hate relationship with. Her brattiness is funny to me. We had high hopes for her. Honestly, she ranks this high because I like to play with her in fic.

10. Max Kante- He smol and smort. And I adore his friendship with Kim and the fact that he made an AI himself at 14. What a legend.

9. Alya Cesaire- Rip to Alya salters, but I’m different. Outside of Chameleon, Alya is fine. She’s a supportive bff. All yall people that are mad she doesn’t kiss Marinette’s ass all the time need to go out and make real friends. I said what I said.

8. Alix Kubdel- I love Alix. I love how she is always so done with all the lovey-dovey bullshit. She is tiny queen, and Bunnix, while OP af, is still super cool. We love to see her.

7. Kagami Tsurugi- I will fight anyone who shits on Kagami. She has done nothing wrong, you guys are just haters. All she did was exist, and yall said, wow what a toxic bitch?? Disgraceful.

6. Jagged Stone- We are going to ignore the deadbeat dad trope that canon thrust upon him. He is a Marinette stan, and we love that.

5. Kim Le Chien- I really love Kim, you guys. Does that surprise you? Listen, my favorite male character types are sweet beans and himbos. Kim is both of these.

4. Master Fu- If you didn’t pick up on how much I love Fu from the episodes ranking, then idk what to tell you. I want him to be my grandpa. I would trust this mans with my life. He did his best. You paint those pictures, you funky little man. I love you.

3. Plagg- My galaxy trash man. Love him. 10/10 chefs kisses all around.

2. Adrien Agreste- The biggest Marinette stan there is. I just want him to kiss her on the face. And marry her. Idk, I just think that would be neat if he could do that. I just want good things for them.

1. Marinette Dupain-Cheng- Honestly, are you surprised? I have always been and always will be a Marinette stan. If you expected anyone else to be in this spot, then clown suit rentals are off to the left.

[ograecus]

i know odds are he’s going to sink in the race on that honda but that just means i need to get my giggles when i can

[soupbabe]

🎟free f/o(s) gush pass!!

!! Spending this time to talk about my f/os and how I see them!!

Keeping it to JoJo just to keep it simple (other f/os include Ryunosuke Tanaka from Haikyu, Shun Kaidou from Disastrous Life of Saiki K, and Prince Soma from Black Butler! All are romantic f/os)

Do I have anything fancy about them like Ocs and a story? No, it's just a lot of comfort characters in one place! <3

A platonic/familial f/o of mine is Abbachio!! Like I genuinely love thinking about him acting like my older brother tbh. He just has that tough love kind of vibe and blunt nature that reminds me of my irl brother a lot, but Abba is wayy better than my irl brother though lmao. I just love thinking about how we are both fairly quiet and reserved people, but we just have our bonding times in our own ways! Mostly just us talking about alternative music and him teaching me how to do eyeliner right lol.

I think I view Polnareff as a platonic and comforting f/o to me. Just like thinking about him being a very supportive and loving brother makes me cry sm. Like and we'd just have a normal sibling dynamic of just playfully making fun and bullying each other, but it's very much clear that we still respect each other! I don't think about him as much as I usually did when I first started part 3, but comforting Polnareff hugs live in my head rent free. And him just trying to help me break out of my shell too is very nice!! He'd hype me up so much-

Of course a big romantic f/o is Mikitaka!! Tbh I just instantly got attached to him when I saw him for the first time. I just thought that he's one of the few stand users in Morioh that genuinely had good intentions and never meant any harm was interesting! I just love thinking about him showing me various animals and just telling me about alien life. Even if he isn't actually an alien, I would love to just hear this boy gush about a planet he made up and his backstory. Like I just think that's the coolest thing?? Not to mention I just enjoy thinking about clingy Mikitaka transforming into a bracelet or something so I can go along w my day with him by my side.

And there's Hazamada! Even though there's definitely a realistic chance of him biting me for saying that Sailor Moon could defeat Goku despite the fact I haven't even seen both of those animes, I love him sm. I just like thinking about us drawing each other, him obviously having a more manga inspired art style than me. And like I'm certain he'd want to cosplay w me all the time too for Halloween or something. How I would describe our dynamic would be "calm giant w chaotic frustrated gremlin." Like I think I'm very patient w more chaotic people like him. We're both introverted too, so we'd have no problem doing little dates where we just stay at home while we watch a show together. Also we are both touch starved so a lot cuddling sounds so good to me during dates like those 🥰🥰 And just like?? Short boys in general have my heart, our height difference are just perfect for me to give him forehead kisses tbh.

I've really been meaning to create an oc to ship w him!! They'd be Rohan's sibling because I just think that would be an interesting thing to throw in when discussing the oc and Hazamada's relationship!

FMAB: Daughter of the Dusk – Chapter 8: A Gunshot Through Hope

(A little late, but here’s my non-fic contribution to the fandom in honour of FMA day! The game is quite long overall, so this covers just the first part, which I figured people might be curious about since it ties up the cliffhanger from Prince of the Dawn. Not sure if I’ll do the rest of the game yet, but in the meantime – enjoy this chapter!)

-

Daughter of the Dusk is the sequel to Prince of the Dawn, which covers Chapters 1-7 of the story, and has a English-subbed playthrough by EnvyPlays (which you should watch first before reading on, obviously). I don’t have either game, so this summary is based on this playthrough by チキンオレ, starting from video 9 in the playlist.

The game is set before the Briggs arc, and picks up directly from where the previous one ended: at the Amestris-Aerugo peace treaty signing ceremony in Central City, with Bradley and Prince Claudio shaking hands onstage. Ed spots Scar in the audience, but he vanishes before Ed can give pursuit. 

Meanwhile, up on the radio tower, Hawkeye prepares to snipe Claudio (on Bradley’s orders) with Black Hayate by her side. She takes out her pocketbook to check the ceremony map, and a photo of the team falls out, leading to this moment as she looks at the photo…

HAWKEYE: [silently] I pull this trigger of my own will. [aloud, at Hayate’s worried expression] It’s alright. [aims the rifle at Claudio as he begins his speech] The Hawk’s Eye does not miss. Goodbye, Colonel.

[sound of gunshot, cut to black]

[flashback to before the signing ceremony]

CHAPTER 8: A GUNSHOT THROUGH HOPE

NARRATOR: Central City gladly welcomed “Envoy of Peace” Prince Claudio, whose arrival marked the end of a long war. But the gunshot that rang out at the climax of the festivities – the peace treaty signing ceremony – abruptly turned the celebratory cheers to screams. The beginning can be traced back to several hours before the fated time……

FUHRER’S OFFICE: Envy leaves to bring Hawkeye to the sniper spot. Greed arrives. Bradley assigns him to bring Hawkeye’s rifle from the armoury (G: “How could a sniper forget her rifle?” B: “She couldn’t carry it and get past security.”), and gives him an ID for a weapons dealer so he can get in.

[player character: Greed]

CENTRAL COMMAND - RECEPTION: Greed bluffs his way past (G: Lying is against my creed, but I did promise to do this…), mainly because it turns out Bradley informed them beforehand of his arrival.

CENTRAL COMMAND - ARMOURY 2: Greed notices something odd about a large box, but dismisses it as his imagination, and takes the rifle. Bradley appears, having “coincidentally” passed by. Greed realises this was a test. (B: “This is a tactic that will shake the nation. Who knew if ‘the prince’ would make a racket.”) Bradley then reveals Greed’s next task – blowing up the sniper spot after the deed is done, to erase the evidence and silence Hawkeye.

[PC: Mustang, who is implied to have been hiding in the box Greed noticed]

Mustang thinks about what he overheard – the assassination and silencing of Hawkeye afterwards. (M: “My instinct was spot on, to have picked this as the meeting place! [beat] Time is running out. ……I’ll have to cancel my date. Hang in there.”) He heads out to search for the sniper spot.

CENTRAL COMMAND - LOBBY: A soldier tells Mustang that Hawkeye has gone out, and someone at the entrance might know where she was headed.

At the entrance, best boy™️ Black Hayate barks and proceeds to tug Mustang’s uniform. (M: “What’re you doing! I don’t have time to play with you now…" BH: [growls] M: “Ow ow ow! Let go! [beat] Fine, I’ll follow you! Lead me to where your master is……")

Mustang spots Envy in the city, and deduces that Hawkeye is somewhere nearby. He arrives at the train depot, followed swiftly by Ed looking for Hayate (this scene was seen from Ed’s POV in the previous game, at 13:20 of Part 18). Mustang decides to return Hayate and make Ed leave so they won’t get caught up in this. He reflects on how Hawkeye has been given nothing but tasks opposite to him ever since Claudio arrived, likely because the higher-ups wanted to separate them so he wouldn’t find out about the assassination plan… which didn’t work out, clearly. Hawkeye then arrives (their confrontation was also previously seen from Hawkeye’s POV, at 7:08 of Part 19).

[PC: Fuery]

Fuery wrings his hands over having lost sight of Mustang, Ed, and Hayate. He decides to track down Mustang since something about him had looked off, by asking around if anyone’s seen him.

ENTERTAINMENT DISTRICT: Fuery runs into Vanessa, who is Peak Angry at Mustang for passing by without noticing her at all. She says that he’d headed towards the abandoned factory.

[PC: Mustang]

ABANDONED FACTORY: Fuery finally finds Mustang, who asks what he’s doing here. (F: “Please stop saying such stand-offish things. Something happened, right, Colonel?” M: “You’re no longer under my command. Whatever I do has nothing to do with you.” F: “It does! I’m worried of my own accord!” M: “One after another… I really did get some strong-willed subordinates, huh.”) Scar then appears out of… seemingly nowhere, causing Mustang to dimiss Fuery over his protests, telling him to contact Breda and Falman. Scar and Mustang both declare they don’t have time for this. Scar activates his disintegration alchemy, but Mustang makes a smokescreen with flame alchemy and runs off.

[Time left until the fated moment – 00:59:59]

Having explained the situation to Falman, Breda, and Fuery, Mustang tells them it’s not too late to return to their posts, but of course they reject this offhand. Mustang then says that he’s going to meet Claudio and try to stop the signing ceremony somehow.

[Time left until the fated moment – 00:51:28]

Mustang asks Claudio to not appear at the ceremony, as he is being targeted. Claudio says he was prepared for the danger all along, and a mini-game follows where you have to choose dialogue that will convince him. Mustang says that it’s a plot by rebels within the military (another option says it’s by mysterious aliens, lol) with a sniper known to be a crack shot, though he claims their identity is still under investigation. Claudio then asks the real reason why he’s so determined to stop this, since it might even endanger his standing in the military, and Mustang answers that it’s out of his personal wish of peace. In the end, Claudio declares that he still won’t stop the ceremony just to protect his own life, but he will bear Mustang’s words in mind. Mustang acknowledges this determination, and says that he will do everything he can to foil the plot.

[Time left until the fated moment – 00:32:23]

[PC: Fuery]

Fuery sneaks into the communication room to eavesdrop on transmissions from Bradley’s allies to Hawkeye. After some false alarms (including a report of a woman being detained for carrying a rifle-shaped object and blunt weapon, who turns out to be Winry with automail case and spanner), he catches an exchange between Envy and Hawkeye, and finds out the sniper spot is outside the ceremony area and informs the rest. An emergency report then comes in about an intruder at the back door – it’s Scar.

[PC: Scar]

Scar barges in and destroys things while… monologuing darkly about various things, including his comrades and “that man”. (I’ll be honest, I do not like this Ishvalan terrorist subplot at all so I paid about zero attention to it.) He leaves. Falman and Breda arrive under the pretext of providing backup.

[Time left until the fated moment – 00:24:45]

[PC: Falman]

Falman and Breda head towards the watchtower to look for Hawkeye’s sniper spot. Just to be on the safe side, Falman memorises a guard assignment map of the ceremony area, which turns out useful when a suspicious soldier gives them a literal pop quiz to prove they’re really here as backup. Falman aces it, and Breda sneaks off while he proceeds to distract the soldier… with a long, long, long monologue on the founding of Amestris. Which continues even as the screen fades to black. Who ever said history wasn’t useful?

[Time left until the fated moment – 00:15:22]

[PC: Breda]

Breda sneaks up to the watchtower, and spots Hawkeye through a telescope, at her sniper spot atop the radio tower. He’s then discovered, but manages to send word to Mustang before he’s knocked out.

[Time left until the fated moment – 00:04:48]

[PC: Mustang]

Mustang hears Breda’s message but can’t get any further response from him, and rushes off. Fuery also radios in to warn that Bradley has ordered Mustang’s arrest, saying not to reply before he’s seemingly arrested too. Mustang is then surrounded, but spots a certain gremlin.

[Time left until the fated moment – 00:03:11]

[PC: Ed]

Unsurprisingly, Ed is furious, and proceeds to furiously kick ass via alchemy. Mustang warns him about the plot before leaving. (M: “The Hawk’s Eye is aiming for the stage. She’s being used by them. I don’t want to ask anything of you, but–” E: “Leave it to me.” M: “You’re not surprised? ……so you already noticed.” E: “No. I didn’t know until now.” M: [shrugs with excessive sass])

Other soldiers try to stop Ed, on account of him being Mustang’s ally, leading to an entertaining obstacle course as he dashes towards the stage. (E: “Hah, as if they could keep up with me! [beat] …wait, this isn’t the time for that!”)

We’re now back to the start, at the moment where Claudio begins his speech. From offstage, Ed spots a flash from the radio tower. He rushes forward to tackle Claudio down and gets shot……… on his automail, so it’s all fine!

It gets much less fine a moment later, when the radio tower blows up. Hawkeye pulls Hayate into a hug, trying to shield him as the tower falls onto them, but the entire thing goes up in flames just in time, metal and all. Stunned, Hawkeye turns around amidst the drifting ashes to see none other than…

MUSTANG: Sorry I kept you waiting. You ended up bearing all this alone. HAWKEYE: I chose this myself. MUSTANG: You were trying to protect us, weren’t you? Leave the rest to me. [Hawkeye inhales sharply] Protection is my job. HAWKEYE: Understood.

Meanwhile, back at the ceremony:

AL: Brother! ELENA: Brother! WINRY: Ed! AL: [silently] “Brother”!? Elena definitely said that just now……!

ED: That was close. CLAUDIO: …time to change plans. We’ll retreat for now. [leaves] ED: What was that about……?

There’s a bit more aftermath: Scar talks with another Ishvalan, Envy chews Greed out for letting Hawkeye escape (until Father bitches them out for sibling quarrels), and Bradley says he’ll release Mustang’s team.

We cut to Mustang and Breda right outside the ceremony area:

ED: Is everyone okay!? BREDA: Everyone was let off without censure. Sergeant Fuery, Officer Falman, and Lieutenant Hawkeye are fine too. MUSTANG: “In recognition of heroic actions to save the prince’s life”, apparently. ED: And what about the ceasefire treaty? MUSTANG: It’s taking everything we have just to handle the fallout. About the treaty, or the prince… none of it has been decided. ED: That prince……

AL: [narrating] The prince’s life was saved with Brother’s involvement. It seems that the Fuhrer and his allies had planned from the start to worsen the war by killing the prince. Unaware of all this, Prince Claudio remains in this country, and is said to be hoping to start over on the treaty. But there’s something I’m far more bothered by–

[flashback to Elena shouting “Brother!”]

AL: The word Elena shouted while looking at Prince Claudio… and yet, I wasn’t able to ask her anything. Because it felt like Elena would vanish somewhere, if I did ask……

To be continued.

-

And last but not least… the trailer for the next chapter!

WINRY: Oh no, it’s terrible! There’s been a case! A locked-room murder! The name of the case is “The Murder of Colonel Roy Mustang”! ED: So you died without achieving your goal… go to your sleep in peace, Colonel. ROY: Hold it right there! I’m still alive! WINRY: I’ll solve this case for sure! I definitely will! Next time, on FMAB: Daughter of the Dusk, Chapter 9 – Automail Mechanic Winry Rockbell’s Splendid Casebook! ROY: Like I said, stop progressing the story however you like! [gets elbowed(??) by Winry] WINRY: Well then, who’s the culprit!?

Can you write a shiro x pidge and one-sided Pidge x loter were there on opposite sides of the war Pidge is Gaara and betrothed to Prince lotor shiro is a pilot of Voltron

Huff. Huff.

Shiro doubled over the moment he rounded the corner. Inhaling as deeply and quietly as he could, he attempted to catch his breath. He couldn’t relax, though. They were still on his trail. The dark alleyway was a temporary sanctuary from the alien police force, but stopping also meant losing his momentum.

All too aware of the sweat pooling beneath his armor—of the painful tension in every muscle of his body—he waited in silence. The footsteps grew louder. Closer. In one hand, he clenched his bayard, ready to strike. In the other-

The sphere was gone.

Suddenly, everything melted away. The pain, the sounds, the worry of being caught—all gone. After all, none of it mattered if he had lost the one thing it was all for. Frantically, he searched the small satchel looped around his torso, and then the ground. The sphere was nowhere to be found.

And then there were footsteps.

On instinct alone, he spun around, but he was unprepared for what he saw.

At the end of his bayard was a single, cloaked figure. No police. No guns aimed for his head. Just an entity shrouded in darkness.

“I think you dropped this,” the mysterious stranger said.

Shiro paused before he looked down to their extended hand. A reflection caught his eye. Barely visible, beneath the shadow of a hood, he saw a yellow visor. Behind the visor, two piercing eyes.

And in the outstretched hand was the sphere.

Realization, followed by relief, swept into his body as the air did in his lungs. Without hesitation, he snatched the sphere and tucked it safely into his satchel. His eyes were only off the figure for a moment, but when he looked up, his strange ally was gone.

When Shiro peered out of the alleyway in hopes of spotting them, he saw nothing but the bodies of unconscious, bruised police littering the ground.

2

Music filled the grand room and, although he was certain it sounded like a fanciful masterpiece to the planet’s resident aliens, it was utter torture for Shiro’s human ears and acoustical tastes. Still, he forced a smile on his lips and waited, eyes glancing around the ball.

The wine, or whatever deep purple liquid it was that swirled about in his glass, wasn’t half bad, and he did recognize a few of the attendees. But Shiro was still bitter. This wasn’t supposed to be his mission.

Lance was the one that suggested they make a covert exchange with their informant. Lance was the one that insisted it had to be at a diplomatic ball. LANCE was the one that emphasized how much he wanted to go.

And yet...

Shiro tried to push away the bitter thoughts that attempted to take over his mind. He knew Coran had his best interests in mind. He also knew that he and Coran had very different ideas of what a “much needed relaxing break of a mission” looked like.

With a sigh, Shiro abandoned that train of thought and focused on finding his contact. Unfortunately, being a super secret matter of intergalactic importance, team Voltron got very little information on what their ally looked like. There was but one clue: the contact would wear a flower pin. They’d at least been given a photo. If they hadn’t, Shiro was certain that Matt would’ve gone on a full out rant about how disappointed Colleen would be that a group of intelligent aliens didn’t recognize not only how common flowers could be in decorative attire but what variety of flowers there are across inhabitable planets. Fortunately, the green lion’s paladin had only done a mini-rant.

Two hours into the ball, Shiro had seen no flower pin. Awkward conversations were plentiful, as were suspiciously jiggly finger foods. But no pin. With a sigh, Shiro pressed his back into the column behind him. He was about to contact Allura to see if the plan was a bust when something caught his eye.

Across the ballroom floor, in a perfectly tailored Galra-equivalent to a suit, stood a handsome gentleman with a gold flower pin on his chest. Wolfs-bane, Shiro recalled Matt saying. That’s what the flower resembled. He stared for but a moment, and startled when brilliant yellow eyes stared back.

A genuine smile on his lips, he moved swiftly across the dance floor. On the other side, his companion awaited with an extended hand. Warmth bloomed in his chest, as did a different feeling. Familiarity. He felt as though this was not the first time they’d met.

“May I have this dance,” Shiro asked as he delicately took the other man’s hand into his own, pressing a soft kiss to the back.

“That’s what we’re here for,” the Galra replied.

“Oh is it?” Shiro asked.

He would never tell his friends, but he was enjoying the opportunity to flirt with a pretty stranger. The Galra had a short, slim body, but was clearly in good shape. His mess of deep purple, puffy hair reminded Shiro of Matt, although Matt didn’t have two soft cat-like ears hidden beneath his cut.

“I thought a gentleman like you would be here for something else,” Shiro continued.

“Perhaps I’m here to meet a friend,” his dance partner replied.

“That makes more sense. For some reason, you don’t strike me as the kind of person to voluntarily attend these events.”

A delightful laugh spilled from the Galra’s mouth, forcing Shiro to turn his head away. It was hard to hide a growing blush when in close proximity with another person. So he switched tactics. The conversation changed, ebbing and flowing with the melody that surrounded them. Until, at last, the song ended.

“I think you dropped this,” his partner remarked with a grin.

Eyebrows furrowed, Shiro tried to decipher the words, but was answered by warm hands wrapping around his own. His heart skipped a beat and then his mind took over. The Galra drew away, but left something behind. Grasping the small device firmly, Shiro moved toward the edge of the crowd. He had to let Allura know that the data had been delivered.

3

Please be safe.

Shiro’s heart pounded heavily in his chest. If he hadn’t known better, he would’ve thought the beat alone was shaking the cockpit of the black lion. They hadn’t been able to respond. The distress signal came just after Haggar’s forces launched a surprise attack. There was no way for them to respond.

Shiro prayed to whatever gods would help him that the city was safe. The Rodlians had been one of the first members of the Voltron Coalition. They didn’t deserve to be punished for that.

The black lion entered Rodlia’s atmosphere. As they descended, smoke obscured the lion’s screen, and Shiro’s heart raced faster. Prepared to launch straight into battle, he was overcome with dread when the city became visible and no enemy was spotted. The worst, it seemed, had already come to pass.

Landing roughly, Shiro sprung from his lion-ship, ready to do everything in his power to find survivors. But the streets were not littered with victims of war. Here and there, buildings suffered damage, but the citizens seemed to be in good health, if not tired. Spotting him, the city leader came forward.

“What happened? We were attacked and couldn’t get here in time. Did you defeat them yourselves?” Shiro launched into inquiry.

“It’s alright, son,” the older alien patted his leg.

Her head only went as high as his thigh, and yet her voice commanded respect. Instantly, he felt a little better.

“We’re alright. Lady Pidge came to our aid.”

A bony finger pointed in the direction of a cloaked figure, several yards away. Shiro thanked the leader and apologized once more (to which he got a gentle head shake in response) before heading over to greet the one called “Pidge.”

“Excuse me,” he called out.

The figure turned at the sound of his voice, revealing a familiar face.

“Lady Pidge?” Shiro sputtered, “Oh shit I’m so sorry, I called you a man before, I-“

Pidge, the handsome contact he had danced with at the ball, waved off his words with a smile.

“It’s fine,” she said. “I don’t care.”

“Ah, alright. Well, what are you doing here?”

“The Coalition sent me. I’ll tell you more, but it’s going to cost you.”

Once again, the Galra had thrown Shiro for a loop.

“What?”

Pidge pointed and Shiro followed the direction of her finger...all the way to his metal arm.

“Let me take a look at it?” she asked, an intense sparkle in her eyes.

“Oh, okay,” he responded with a laugh.

Warmth filled his chest as he trailed after her towards a laptop (of sorts) situated at the base of a statue.

“No fair! How come Shiro gets a secret admirer?!” Lance whined.

“Yeah! How come Coran lets Shiro have two girlfriends and I get none?” Hunk joined in, a huge smile on his face.

“Hunk,” Keith shot him a glare, “That’s biphobic.”

“Oh, you’re right Keith, my bad. How come Coran lets Shiro have a girlfriend and a boyfriend and I get none?”

Keith collapsed onto the couch with laughter at Hunk’s response and even Shiro couldn’t keep himself from grinning. He scooped up the package Coran had deposited on the table and turned to make his escape, sparing Allura a brief glance before he went. She looked...done, to put a word to it.

In his quarters, alone and away from prying eyes, Shiro gingerly opened the heavy metal box. Of course he knew it wasn’t a present from a secret admirer. That whole bit of drama was entirely a product of Matt’s desire to stir up trouble. But he still didn’t know what it was or who it was from. All Coran said was that someone from the Coalition had sent it.

With bated breath, and a quick prayer that there was not, in fact, a bomb inside, Shiro pressed the buttons on either side of the box and watched as it clicked open. Inside, delicately wrapped, was a thin holopad. He activated and it glowed with life, displaying the message:

Thought you could use an upgrade.

(PS: I’ve included installation instructions.)

And below the message was a little icon of some cute gremlin face with swirly glasses.

Shiro set the device to the side and opened the compartment below the first one. He almost cried when he saw the gift.

Inside was a brand new, clearly custom-made, prosthetic arm.

“I’m still not comfortable going into the heart of the Galra empire, invited or not,” Shiro stated as they approached the massive space station.

“I’ve gotta agree,” Matt said, although his voice lacked its usual carefree tone.

“Relax,” Allura assured, “now that Lotor’s emperor, we don’t need to worry about the Galra attacking us. At least, not the ones under his command.”

“Oh yeah and what about the other 40% of Galra that aren’t?” he heard Lance mutter.

Apparently Allura heard him too, as was indicated by the thump and yelp that followed.

“Lotor is gaining more and more of the Galra’s allegiance each day,” Allura reassured them. “I’ve heard a large part of it is due to the support for his fiancé. Many of the Galra feel more comfortable about his rule knowing they’ll be married.”

“Must be some lady. Or dude. Or, ya know,” Hunk added.

“Quite right,” Coran chipped in. “Maybe you’ll get to meet them.”

Further conversation was cut off by their arrival. Boarding the station was tense, but otherwise uneventful. As they walked through halls radiating with purple light, Shiro couldn’t help but make a pattern of clenching and unclenching his fist. It was an uncomfortable situation for all of them, but Shiro would be lying if he said it wasn’t worse for him and Matt. In truth, there were several thoughts on repeat in his mind keeping him sane.

First was the knowledge that they’d receive valuable access to Galra tactical data and technological schematics. He’d be able to study it and come up with better plans to free the universe. Second was the thought of getting to punch Lotor in the face, should the emperor step out of line. It was an unlikely situation, but the fantasy brought him joy. And like that fantasy, his third thought, of potentially running into Pidge again, kept him going.

Lotor greeted them outside of the throne room and Shiro focused on taking deep breaths while his friends questioned the new Galra ruler. He could barely process what everyone was saying. It was just another mission, he told himself. It would be over soon. Hunk asked about culture and Lance exclaimed something that sounded like “a nanny,” but the full conversation didn’t register in Shiro’s mind. They were being swept into the throne room, Lotor monologuing some nonsense, and light flooded through the opening of the heavy doors as they stepped in.

Shiro blinked once, twice, and then his gaze locked onto a pair of familiar yellow eyes. Warmth flooded his chest. A smile danced on his lips. The tension melted away and suddenly he found himself able to focus. It was just in time for him to hear Lotor say:

“And I’d like to introduce you to my fiancé, Lady Pidge.”

The yellow eyes that had met his quickly looked away.

Obscure Marvel fancast of the day: Noel Fielding as Prince Maximus “the Mad” Boltagon! (Note: Shoutout to @sammysdewysensitiveeyes for coming up with this casting! Hope it’s okay I used it for this series!) Born in the secret Inhuman city of Attilan, Maximus Boltagon was the second son of monarchs King Agon and Queen. Like his elder brother Blackagon (”Black Bolt”) Maximus was exposed to the Terrigen Mists while still in the womb, rather than childhood or adolescence like most Inhumans, by his parents as an experiment. Their goal was to create children with incredibly powerful gifts, and they succeeded---Black Bolt was born with a catastrophically destructive voice, while Maximus had an enhanced intellect and psychic abilities. Maximus desired the throne of Attilan for himself, and was deeply jealous of his brother for being the first in line as heir. In an attempt to seize the throne, Maximus made a pact with the Kree aliens. This ultimately resulted in Black Bolt using his power to destroy a Kree ship, causing it to crash into a building where his parents were, killing them. It also caused a traumatic brain injury to Maximus, who was standing close by, and this resulted in his “madness” ever since. While Maximus had always had antisocial tendencies (in the sense of Antisocial Personality Disorder, not as in being shy) he now suffered a great many psychotic symptoms such as delusions, hallucinations, and severe emotional disturbances, sometimes to the point of completely debilitating him. Despite this setback, Maximus has continued to try to take the throne on a fairly consistent basis through the decades, up until he actually got it and then became bored with being a ruler. But he’s always got some other dastardly scheme in mind, and can never be trusted completely by anyone around him. At present, he seems to be dead, but this being Marvel, it’s probably only a matter of time before he pops up to cause trouble again like the delightful little gremlin he is! Maximus is an interesting take on the “mentally ill villain” trope because rather than his mental illness making him evil, he was villainous to begin with and his mental illness resulted from one of his one plans backfiring. It’s also shown very much as a hindrance to him, and something that he truly suffers from, rather than a quirk of personality. The fact that he comes from a society with no system in place for dealing with the mentally ill also means that he’s seldom received any proper treatment, and is typically just locked away until he’s functional enough to plan his next escape/coup scheme. He’s very much, when written well, an exploration of how society’s failure to have a support a system in place for the mentally ill is as much a problem as mental illness itself, while also not excusing any of his actions----remember, he was already a jerk BEFORE his brain injury. Besides being a jerk, Maximus is also an enthusiastic scientific genius with a great intellect for engineering, as well as a prodigious capacity for manipulating other people. He’s bombastic, dramatic, loquacious, and very fun-loving in his own way, often serving as comic relief as much as a villain. Though he is very derogatory towards normal humans, he has a love for human culture, and enjoys quoting everything from Shakespeare, Churchill, and the Bible, to pop slang and Internet memes. He also, despite his numerous attempts to kill them or otherwise scheme against them, does seem to actually love his family, especially his brother, albeit sometimes in a truly twisted way. He has often allied with the rest of the Inhuman Royal Family for their greater good as a family or the entire species of Inhumans as a whole, and has at times made a genuine effort NOT to betray them. Maximus is a complicated character, and a lot of fun to read! Maximus was portrayed by Iwan Rheon in ABC’s Inhumans series, which was a pretty great casting too!
