sooo saying this with as much love and respect as i possibly can but you are really totally utterly amazing at writing and your angst is part of the top tier community 🖤

if you’re up to writing this then 😍 and if not then it’s completely okay! but i was thinking of an angsty but hopeful? comfort ending of where chan/hyunjin/han/felix (i couldn’t decide 😫) forgets y/n bday completely, despite having plans. y/n is sad yes but expects it, so she hangs with her friends & visits her fam etc. the chosen member will either see an ig post where it’s said oh happy birthday or smth or someone asks him about it, he will try to get to y/n but she’s out and about. when she finally gets back to her apartment then you know grovelling, apologising, flowers and so on.

what do you think?🖤☺️

Hyunjin x Reader 황현진 angst/comfort

He forgets your birthday

a/n: first of all, your kind words almost made me cry, made my day fr 🥹 thank you so much for appreciating my work <3 it means the world to me. i hope this is what you wanted! lmk what you think <3

Today was your birthday.

You were never one to make a big deal out of your birthday, but everything changed when Hyunjin came into your life. From the moment he became your boyfriend, he made it his mission to ensure your special day was as cherished and unforgettable as the love he had for you.

He succeded…

until today.

The day began quietly. You woke up, the morning sunlight filtering through the curtains of your shared bedroom. You stretched your arms and turned to find the other side of the bed empty—Hyunjin’s warmth long gone. Confused, you rubbed your eyes and noticed a small piece of paper resting on the pillow beside you. It read:

“Sorry baby, Chan called me. I had to run. Love you.”

You stared at the note, your heart sinking. No “Happy Birthday,” no reminder of the day that was supposed to be special. A lump formed in your throat as you folded the note and placed it on the nightstand.

It wasn’t like you hadn’t anticipated this. Hyunjin had been so busy lately, barely having time for himself, let alone anything else. But deep down, you had held onto the hope that today would be different, that he would remember.

Unable to hold back the wave of disappointment, you reached for your phone. You opened the messages between you and Hyunjin, scrolling through previous conversations where his affection and thoughtfulness had always shone. But today, there was nothing—no text, no missed call. It hit you like a punch to the gut.

Tears welled up in your eyes as you dialed your best friend. The moment she picked up, her cheery tone only made the pain worse.

“Hey, birthday girl!” she greeted. “What’s up? Are you and Hyunjin doing something special today?”

That was it. The dam broke. A sob escaped your lips, and the words tumbled out before you could stop them.

“Hyunjin forgot,” you choked out, tears streaming down your face. “He forgot my birthday.”

“What?!” your friend exclaimed, the shock evident in her voice. “Y/N, no way. Are you serious?”

You sniffled, your voice trembling. “I woke up, and he was gone. He left a note saying Chan called him, but… but nothing about my birthday. Not even a text, nothing. I feel so stupid for expecting anything.”

Another voice chimed in—it was one of your other close friends, who had been with her. “Y/N, I’m so sorry. That’s awful. Are you sure he didn’t plan something later?”

“I don’t know,” you admitted, your voice breaking again. “I don’t think so. He’s been so busy lately. I just—” You stopped, unable to form the words as another sob wracked your chest. “It hurts. It feels like… like I don’t matter enough to be remembered lately.”

“Don’t say that,” your first friend said gently, her tone laced with sympathy. “You matter so much, Y/N. I know Hyunjin loves you like crazy. Maybe he’s just overwhelmed, but I can’t believe he’d forget on purpose.”

“Even if it’s not on purpose, it still hurts,” you whispered, wiping at your cheeks. “I don’t even want to talk to him right now. I just need to turn my phone off and forget about it.”

There was a pause before your friend spoke again. “Okay. You can spend the day with us, alright? Forget about him for now. We’ll celebrate you because you deserve it.”

You nodded, even though she couldn’t see it. “Thank you. I’ll be there soon.”

Later that morning, you met your friends at a cozy café. They greeted you with hugs and warm smiles, trying their best to lift your spirits. You forced yourself to smile back, but the weight of Hyunjin’s absence lingered.

As you sipped your coffee, one of your friends leaned closer. “How are you feeling now?”

“Still hurt,” you admitted quietly. “I keep telling myself not to care, but I can’t stop thinking about it. It’s like… how could he forget something like this? We’ve been together for years. He knows how much birthdays mean to me.”

Your other friend reached across the table to squeeze your hand. “You’re allowed to feel hurt, Y/N. Don’t bottle it up. But knowing Hyunjin, he’ll realize sooner or later and feel awful about it.”

You nodded but stayed silent, the sadness still gnawing at you. After a while, the conversation shifted to lighter topics, and though you appreciated their efforts, you couldn’t fully shake the disappointment.

Meanwhile, Hyunjin was at the studio, oblivious to the emotional turmoil he had caused. It wasn’t until he took a break and opened Instagram that everything clicked.

His heart dropped when he saw a post from your friend—a picture of you laughing at the café, the caption reading:

“Happy Birthday to the sweetest soul! Love you, @Y/N 💕🎉”

Hyunjin froze. “Birthday? No… it can’t be today.” But as he checked the date on his phone, reality hit him like a freight train.

He scrambled to open your messages, his fingers trembling as he typed.

“Y/N, baby, I’m so sorry. I just realized. Please call me.”

“Y/N, where are you? Please, I need to talk to you.”

“Baby, I messed up. I’m so sorry. Please answer me.”

But none of the messages went through. They were marked undelivered, a clear sign that you had turned your phone off. Panic surged through him.

“How could I forget?!” he muttered to himself, pacing the studio. Without wasting another second, he called his manager to clear his schedule and rushed home to make things right.

Back at the apartment, Hyunjin worked tirelessly to create a heartfelt surprise. He decorated the living room with string lights, candles and his paintings, filled a vase with your favorite flowers, and placed a small velvet box containing a delicate necklace on the coffee table.

He also booked a table at an upscale restaurant and bought you a gorgeous Versace dress, imagining how radiant you would look in it. Every detail was perfect—except for the sinking guilt in his chest.

When you finally returned home that evening, your face was streaked with dried tears, and your eyes were red and puffy. As you unlocked the door and stepped inside, you froze. The warm glow of fairy lights illuminated the room, and Hyunjin stood in the center, his face etched with guilt and love.

“Y/N…” he began, his voice barely above a whisper. “I’m so sorry.”

You stood there, too emotionally drained to respond. Your gaze shifted to the flowers, the candles, and the neatly wrapped dress on the couch.

“What is all this?” you asked, your voice hoarse.

Hyunjin took a hesitant step closer. “It’s my way of saying I’m sorry. I forgot your birthday, and I can’t tell you how much I regret it. I have no excuse, Y/N. I was so caught up in everything else that I forgot the one person who matters most to me.”

Tears welled up in your eyes again, but this time, they were fueled by the sincerity in his voice. “Do you know how hurt I was, Hyunjin? I woke up thinking today would be special, but you weren’t even here. I felt so… forgotten.”

You took a small break and sighed. “You… you were the only one who didn’t make me feel this way—“

Hyunjin’s eyes filled with tears as he listened. “Please don’t use the past. I know I hurt you, and I hate myself for it. But I swear, it wasn’t because I don’t care. You’re everything to me, Y/N. Please, let me make it up to you.”

He gestured to the dress and added, “I planned a special dinner for us tonight. And this…” He picked up the necklace from the table. “This is for you. I know it doesn’t erase the pain I caused, but I hope it shows how much you mean to me.”

Your heart softened as his words sank in. Despite the hurt, you could see how deeply he regretted his mistake. Slowly, you stepped forward and wrapped your arms around him, letting his warmth melt the lingering sadness.

“I forgive you,” you whispered against his chest. “Just… don’t let it happen again.”

“Never,” he promised, pressing a kiss to your forehead. “Happy Birthday, my love.”

Hey! I loved your Batfam movie night post. If you have the time could you write a fic with the platonic yandere Batfam and a sick reader. Maybe reader refuses to take any medication and the fam has to get them to take it. Or maybe reader is so fevered that they sob when someone (probably Bruce) isn’t holding them. Thanks for your time!!

Platonic Yandere!Batfam

Summary: You're sick

CW: no warnings

(not edited or proofread)

Richard let out an exasperated breath as he paced around in front of your bedroom door.

"Why do they have to be so difficult?", he mumbled under his breath, not intending for it to be heard, but Bruce made out what he said.

Silence filled the room for a few moments, the only noise being Dick's footsteps, before Bruce spoke, "I'll ground them", he begun, before adding, "And I'll take away their phone."

Richard stopped and turned to him, his eyebrows furrowed and his jaw hanging low, signaling disbelief.

"Are you kidding me? What exactly will that change? Just force them to take the medicine already!", fumed the younger of the two, clearly worried about you.

"No", said Bruce and Richard slightly leaned forward, as if he misheard.

"No? Why not? Don't you understand that they're sick? They're pale, trembling, weak and-"

"Stop", Bruce's words concluded the argument, "You'll wake them if you continue shouting."

Richard flinched. He couldn't help it.

His heart ached at the thought of you being in pain. It was even worse now that you had refused to take your medicine.

As your older brother, it's his job to protect you, but you're being so difficult.

Although he wanted to continue the argument in hopes of changine Bruce's mind, it was clear that they were done.

His jaw clenched to stop himself from saying anything stupid and with that he stormed off.

Bruce let out a sigh and leaned on a nearby wall. He was so tired. His energy was completely depleted from his worry.

Worry? No, it was more like fear.

Bruce was terrified. You were sick and had refused to take your medicine. He knows how serious certain illnesses can be, but you just refuse to take care of yourself.

You're doing nothing other than proving them right that you need them.

However, he's your father. He would never force you to take medicine. Deep down, he feels like he owes you at least a little freedom of choice, considering that you didn't want to be there in the first place.

His palm drags across his face, not fearing that he'll scratch his skin off, instead ruminating on his further course of action.

A cough made his eyes widen. It was your voice.

He rushed into your room and for a moment you were convinced he was going to trip.

"Is everything okay?", his voice was slightly shaky, as if he were trying to hide how scared he was for you. Going off how swiftly he shut his mouth, one would assume that he had planned to add more questions.

You wanted to nod your head, but lacked the strengh to do that, so you chose to hum in affirmation.

With blurred vision, you saw your father slightly bend forward, presumably after exhaling.

"Can you...", you wheezed, before realising that you lacked the lung capacity to go on.

Your father, however, wanted to hear the rest of your sentence.

"I can. I can do anything you want me to. What do you need? Would you like some water? Should Alfred make you some more soup? Would you like me to read you a story? Should I-", he went through all of his options, carefully observing your body language to see if any of his suggestions piqued your interest.

"...Hold me, please", you finally finished.

His gaze softened and his mouth formed a relieved smile as he exhaled. It took him time to answer, "Of course I can."

So you were alright. That was soothing.

His arms held you tightly, still being careful not to hurt you. The two of you layed there in silence.

Patience slowly ran out and before he could stop himself, he questioned you about the medicine.

His tone was gentle and as quiet as he could make it, almost sounding desperate.

You thought about it for a moment, trying to find the shortest way to confess your thoughts.

"Taste...", you croaked.

"Taste? Does it taste bad?", Bruce inquired, before remembering that you had troubles speaking, "I'll make sure you get some better tasting medicine. Will you take it then?"

You smiled and nodded, satisfied with the current arrangement.

No longer being able to stay awake, you drifted off to sleep.

It had been a few days now. Your condition had improved and you were taking the better tasting version of the medicine.

Today it was Dick's turn to feed you.

He was in a much better mood than a few days ago.

"Here comes the airplane- Come on, open up...", the spoon hovered in front of your closed mouth.

Your eyebrows lifted as you looked at him.

"Dick, I'm not thre-", before you could finish, he shoved the spoon into your mouth, causing you to gag.

While you did cough up half of the soup, the rest definitely made it to the intended destination.

After forcing out a few more coughs, you had finally cleared your windpipe, "WHAT THE HELL, DICK?"

"Sorry! Just had to make sure you would actually take it, unlike the medicine!", his innocent smile almost blinded you.

"What if I had choked?" you retorted

"You know that your big brother wouldn't let that happen", he dismissed your words with caretaker speech.

Your temptation to add a snarky remark or roll your eyes was supressed and you instead continued listenting to your brother boast about various topics which you didn't really pay attention to.

The two of you continued to enjoy spending time with each other, if you could call it that.

Under Dick's and Bruce's care, you always recover quickly.

Fic writer curse got me fam, and the doctor didn't give me a note so I have to go to work. To cheer me up here's more Airplane vs The System because I wanna feel I'm making progress

And it's Cumplane Bros being smart because I love them and yeah

Hope you like it!

“There's…” he hesitated, glancing at Shen Yuan nervously before sweeping things around, going through names of missions. “There's stuff missing. And I can see the names, but now it's all gray? I can't select my old logs.”

Shen Yuan opened his own system, checking the same options Airplane had gone through, finding everything normal.

“That's weird, even for the System,” Shen Yuan took a step back, picking up his fan, tapping it against his palm as he walked back and forth. “And you don't remember getting any messages?”

“No, I would have told you if anything had popped up!” Which, yea, Airplane wouldn't be able to hide something like that. And they had been enjoying a nice life for the past couple of years, finally living their happy ending. Yes, some wife plots here and there but…

“I thought it was done with us now that the story was finished.” Airplane's voice cracked at the end, and this time Shen Yuan couldn't help but feel his heart squeeze for his fellow transmigrator, murderously rampant or not.

“Okay, we have to think.” Shen Yuan went back to walking, pressing his fingers against his forehead, his crown starting to feel too tight on his head. “We know Linguang-Jun was working with an Owl demon. Did he say anything else?”

Airplane blanched, trembling hand going over his mouth, rubbing his fingers over closed pressed lips. It took him some moments to compose himself, shrugging as he made the screen vanish.

“He said it wasn't a Demon, but a Heavenly being, which makes no sense, I didn't write the Heavens-”

“Oh so you do remember what you wrote, amazing!”

“-But he also said that they wanted Mobei-Jun alive. He said that they were powerful and they knew all about Linguang-Jun's schemes, down to the people he had bribed, that's why he had to help them.”

“Did he at least describe them? It was an Owl type of creature but what else?” He stopped next to the table, moving papers around with the tip of his fan. He couldn't help but think that something else was going on. “If we have the physical description we can focus on one area of the map.”

Shen Yuan huffed when Airplane ignored his comment completely only with a twitch of an eye. Airplane couldn't physically hurt him, Shen Qingqiu's cultivation skills being better than Shang Qinghua could ever develop, but Airplane looked just enough on the edge that he might try his luck with a punch.

Shen Yuan didn't want to test his limits, so he ignored that he had been ignored, letting it slide.

“He said that they arrived as a white Owl, then they changed to their humanoid form.”

Shen Yuan froze, eyes going wide. The color helped to focus their search on the Northern Desert, but where? The area was huge, most of it completely uninhabitable except-

“The Polar Owl,” he mumbled, not bothering to answer Airplane's “what?”, shoving away the pile of useless notes to grab the huge map of the demon realm hidden under it all. “You only wrote one fucking normal animal in this entire weird ass story, and it was the Polar Owl,” Shen Yuan grabbed a brush to circle the places the Owl hypothetically lived, not cursing out loud Airplane's lack of following through with backgrounds. This time. “They live in the furthest north anyone ever been, no one else can survive the low temperatures except-”

“The Mobei line.” Airplane's whisper wasn't loud enough to interrupt Shen Yuan but the awed expression on Shang Qinghua's face was.

“Exactly.” Shen Yuan snapped his fan open, a smirk tilting his lips up as he straightened up his shoulders, putting on his best peak lord smug face. “And they are considered sacred to the Northern tribes because of their resistance to low temperatures. Thus it is completely possible that Linguang-Jun thought that the person he spoke with had come from the Heavens.”

Ding!

Off to work I go, wish me luck ✌️

[brown-spider]

Hi! I really love your Spidersona Sunny, they're such a mood. Ngl they crack me up with how done they already are with the whole hero gig😂 and I was curious about something.

Do you think Sunny and Miles would get along? They seem like they would be great friends for lots of reasons, like their shared love of art and how similar you said their worlds are. Also maybe a shared kind of disillusionment with heroing, cause let's be real, there ain't no way Miles is coming out of any of this even slightly okay. Highkey think he was a little depressed before he got jumped by hundreds of spider people and after having the friends and mentor he was desperate enough to give up his passions for, only for them to gaslight and betray the hell out of him, plus whatever fucked up shit that's for sure happening in Btsv, it's gonna get so much worse. That and I think Miles would find Sunny's ability to juke the canon, kinda like he does, so awesome. Deadpool joking about Sunny avoiding plot trauma by running off screen is everything. They just say, "nah, fam I'm good" and just leaves🤣

Miles: If you teach me how to juke canon I'll watch Deadpool for you.

Sunny: Deal

I feel like Miles could make friends with anybody tbh 😂

Miles and Sunny's attitudes towards heroing are a bit different, i think. Miles stepped up to the mantle after building up confidence that he deserves it, that he can be someone ppl rely on. He's outraged by the idea that Spiderman as a symbol of heroism/hope can't "always" win or can't do "both." He also has bit of pettiness around the lack of reward/freedom/gratitude for being Spiderman; it comes with the territory of being a teenager who does selfless deeds on the daily only to get grounded or have his roomate not bother to dial 3 numbers or be told that he isnt allowed to stop his dad from dying-

Ahem.

Whereas Sunny doesn't have a sense of duty or optimism towards being Spiderman. They don't WANT to be someone people rely on, they NEVER believed that one person could "always" or "do both", they're resigned to the things happening around them.

Sunny doesn't know about canon events, courtesy of their Peter not telling them because they freaked out at the mere concept of a multiverse and want nothing to do with HQ outside of removing anomalies from their own dimension. Deadpool makes 4th wall breaking jokes but Sunny sees it the same way you and I would react if someone pretended to break the fourth wall; its just a joke. Like "haha, what if we were in a simulation." Of course, ever since they found out about the multiverse, those jokes became much LESS funny to them 😬

So yeah, Sunny dodging canon doesn't come from a determination to live up to what they think Spiderman should be, or out of defiance of The Way Things Are like how it is for Miles, its the exact opposite. They're avoiding responsibility and expectations, they've decided that nothing they do will make a Real difference except to make them More Depressed when they inevitably fail.

If Miles told them about canon events, their response would probably be something like "......... I wish you hadn't told me that." Because what are they supposed to do?? Not only are they being told that Fate has guaranteed certain tragedies occurred to hundreds of thousands of heroes WAY BETTER THAN THEM- but ALSO that those same far-more-skilled-heroes have dedicated themselves to making sure those tragedies continue to happen. So tell them, what the heck are they supposed to do??

They wouldn't do anything. But they also wouldn't stop Miles. They hate the concept of fate and would hope he breaks the algorithm with his friends and saves the day, because its way easier to place their faith in people who can Actually make change than to get involved and get themself hurt.

[crazyw3irdo]

okay but i'm so curious to know how the fams react to dickwing's breakup. like do the waynes side with dick and the bats side with nightwing? or do the bats side with dick (bc nightwing was such a jerk to his sweet civilian boyfriend!) while the waynes side with nightwing (bc tbh dick's being a little unreasonable, if nightwing couldn't make it he couldn't make it, at least he sent batman and robin)? or do all of them side with one or the other?? this is their chance for REVENGE after being forced to witness dickwing and i'd love to know how they take advantage of it.

(au masterpost)

well, anon, luckily for you everyone's favorite tabloid has interviewed everyone involved!

Hot Gotham Gossip! Bringing you all the latest details and drama in Gotham!

The End of #Dickwing, by Uhreigh Ture

Dick Grayson, adopted son of affluent millionaire Bruce Wayne, recently made headlines as he entered a public relationship with vigilante hero Nightwing on Twitter. Now, the two have had a public falling out, ending in the hero changing his account to private.

The falling out was sparked by Grayson getting kidnapped by a local mob hoping to lure out Nightwing to rescue him, however, he instead was rescued by the Batman and his partner Robin. Grayson took to Twitter to ask Nightwing why he had not been there to rescue him, which led to an argument in which Grayson called off their relationship.

We here at Hot Gotham Gossip have reached out to and interviewed various heroes and members of the Wayne family to see what they have to say on the matter! Batman, the other members of the original Teen Titans, and Duke Thomas (Grayson's adopted brother) all declined the opportunity to comment.

Dick Grayson's Interview

Ture: Well, Mr. Grayson, let's start from the beginning, shall we? What initially made you interested in Nightwing?

Grayson: Well, for one, I've always been a fan of a lot of heroes- like, growing up I was a huge fan of Superman, actually. Like, yeah, I know that's blasphemy to say in Gotham, but sometimes you get so used to how dark and depressing Gotham can be that seeing such a great beacon of hope like that is refreshing. Batman's always just struck me as edgy- I mean, he's great at his job and all, he rescued me a couple of days ago and I'm really grateful, but he doesn't seem like someone you could hang out with. Nightwing, though? He seemed really fun. Plus, he has a great ***.

Ture: We'll have to censor that, you know.

Grayson: Oh. Well, they'll know what I mean anyway.

Ture: I'm sure they will. Anyway, how have you been since breaking up?

Grayson: I've been great, actually! I mean, some threats from Nightwing stans here and there, but much less threats than when we were dating. And I haven't been kidnapped again. That's a huge bonus.

Ture: I'd imagine so. Have you heard anything from Nightwing since you broke things off?

Grayson: Oh, no. I've been avoiding him.

Ture: Really?

Grayson: Yeah, I've blocked him on everything. I don't want to deal with him.

Nightwing's Interview

Ture: It's a pleasure to be interviewing you, sir.

NW: Oh, you don't have to call me "sir." That feels a bit weird. You can just call me Nightwing.

Ture: Alright, Nightwing, let's get to the questions then, alright?

NW: Yeah.

Ture: So what initially lead you to pursue a relationship with Mr. Grayson?

NW: Ah, well... He's the one who started flirting with me, so... I don't know, I thought I'd give it a shot, yeah? It can be a bit hard to have serious relationships when you have to keep so much secret.

Ture: Secret? You mean like your identity?

NW: Well, yeah. I know I team up with a lot of really smart heroes so I tend to look uh, not so smart in comparison, but I'm not the kind of idiot that'd give away my identity to anyone that compliments me.

Ture: Ah, yes, of course, I didn't mean to imply anything like-

NW: No, no, I know you didn't, I just felt like it had to be said.

Ture: Alright. When you were initially flirting with Mr. Grayson you mentioned being motivated to pursue that relationship due to the Wayne family's wealth. Did-

NW: Oh, that. Look- being a vigilante doesn't exactly pay well- or at all in most cases- but I wasn't intending on being an actual gold digger. I just thought it would be funny. Dick actually offered me quite a few expensive things when we were together but I turned them down- can you imagine a superhero sugar baby? Not exactly the image I want to have.

Ture: Well, speaking of your image, you recently changed your Twitter account to private and your profile image to... um, what appears to be-

NW: Oh I just googled "anime boy crying" and chose the first result.

Ture: Right. Now is that the kind of image you want representing yourself?

NW: Okay look, I've had this argument a couple of times now with some other heroes and just- I don't think this portrays me as some kind of whiny melodramatic baby or anything. I think it shows that I know what comedy is.

Ture: You did that for comedy?

NW: Yeah I- Well, I don't have powers or anything, but if I did I think it'd be the power to really just commit to the joke. I mean committing to jokes like that has gotten me in trouble a lot before, but really, who cares that much about what I'm saying on Twitter?

Ture: It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Wayne. Now, I'm sure you're a very busy man, so I'll just jump to the questions. How did you feel about Mr. Grayson and Nightwing's relationship?

Wayne: Honestly, I was really worried for Dick. I do have a lot of trust in Nightwing as a hero and I do admire all the work he does, but I think any parent would be worried about their son dating a man with a job that dangerous.

Ture: Ah, yes, you said you didn't want him to be dating any vigilantes, correct?

Wayne: Yes. Getting involved with someone like that... It seems it can only end in disaster, doesn't it? Especially in such a public relationship. It only increases the targets on both of their backs.

Ture: It seems it did, given that your son had a very close encounter a few days ago. How do you feel about their breakup?

Wayne: Relieved, mostly. I do feel bad for them both, of course, but I already have so much to worry about without my son's dating life being a priority.

Ture: How has Mr. Grayson been? Is he taking it well?

Wayne: Well, he was a little upset for a while but he quickly got over it. He's gotten pretty good at finding new ways to entertain himself, I'm sure he'll be fully back up to his old antics in no time.

Jason Todd's Interview

Ture: Hello, Mr. Todd.

Todd: Hi. I will not be taking any questions about my death.

Ture: Oh, that's not what this is about, Mr. Todd-

Todd: I know, but people still ask no matter what it's about.

Ture: Well, can you blame them?

Todd: You wanted to ask me about Dick, right? So basically he got really bored and decided to make that everyone else's problem.

Ture: Would you care to elaborate on that?

Todd: When Dick's bored he tends to do stupid things. It just so happened this time the stupid thing was flirting with- with Nightwing for some reason.

Ture: How did you feel about that relationship?

Todd: He can do better.

Ture: Do you mean Mr. Grayson or Nightwing?

Todd: Nightwing. That man regularly saves peoples lives, he doesn't have to settle for a guy dog-ears books instead of using a bookmark.

Ture: Well... How do you feel about their breakup?

Todd: Thankful. If I had to hear Dick gush over Nightwing the way he was for another day I would've snapped.

Ture: And Dick's been taking it well?

Todd: He's fine now but he was so pouty for a while. Do you know how hard it is to read when your brother is whining about how unfair life is right next to you?

Tim Drake's Interview

Ture: So, Mr. Drake, how did you feel about Mr. Grayson and Nightwing's relationship?

Drake: Oh, just so confused. I'd just woken up to find them flirting and just- just the one time I let myself sleep in and suddenly Dick has a superhero boyfriend.

Ture: Was Mr. Grayson happy about this relationship?

Drake: God, yes. He was so proud of himself. Kept talking about how cool he was to have "snagged such a hottie-" his words, not mine. The amount of times I sneaked out just to avoid having to hear him talk about it- oh ****, could you not publish that last sentence? Bruce doesn't know about that.

Ture: We'll see, Mr. Drake.

Drake: Well, ****. I guess he would've figured it out eventually, anyway. Besides, it's not like he could blame me. We were all tired of hearing about it.

Ture: So how did you feel about the breakup, then?

Drake: Oh, it was so amazing. After how much he'd bragged about having Nightwing be head-over-heels for him it was so funny seeing him pout that he had to break up with him.

Ture: "Had to?"

Drake: Oh, well, I mean, if you're dating a hero you should expect them to protect you, right? If they can't even manage that then it's probably a good sign they're not gonna be good for you.

Cassandra Cain's Interview

Ture: Hello, Ms. Cain. It's my understanding that you don't do many interviews, so I'd like to thank you for accepting my invitation. If I may ask, what about this one made you want to do it?

Cain: Too funny to pass up.

Ture: Well, alright. How did you feel about Mr. Grayson and Nightwing's relationship?

Cain: It was funny. But annoying. Dick was too into it.

Ture: And how did you feel about the breakup?

Cain: This whole thing has been funny. It was nice. A good break from stress.

Red Robin's Interview

Ture: Thank you for coming, Mr. Red Robin.

RR: Of course.

Ture: I don't want to take up too much of your time, I'm sure you've got great hero things to do, so we'll just start. How did you feel about Nightwing's relationship with Mr. Grayson?

RR: Oh, it was so stupid. Like, not only is a vigilante having a public relationship with a famous rich guy, but they went public the same day they got together. Really that's just begging for disaster.

Ture: How did other heroes react to their relationship?

RR: We all knew it wasn't going to last. I'm really surprised it didn't happen sooner. Batman can be pretty strict about that kind of thing. I guess he figured it would be over and done with soon anyway.

Ture: And how do you feel about their breakup?

RR: Part of me is glad, but I'm also now having to deal with Nightwing being so depressed about it. I'll try to send him a message about a mission or something and he'll just send me some Taylor Swift lyrics. He doesn't even listen to Taylor Swift. It's really pathetic.

Red Hood's Interview*

Ture: So, um, Mr. Red Hood, how did you feel about Nightwing and Mr. Grayson's relationship?

RH: I wish I could say it was the stupidest thing Nightwing has done but I don't want to lie to you, Ms. Ture. I thought he'd know better by now, but unfortunately he's still making these kinds of choices.

Ture: Did you have a lot of interactions with Nightwing while the relationship was ongoing? Do you know how he felt about it at that time?

RH: Unfortunately, yes. He was on cloud nine the whole time. Kept gushing about his "boyfriend."

Ture: Why did you use air quotes around that word?

RH: Well... Does it even count as a relationship if it only lasts a couple of days?

Ture: I guess that's a fair point. And how do you feel about their breakup?

RH: I was glad at first, since I figured he'd stop humming love songs all the time while we were supposed to be hiding, but now he's acting like a bigger ***** than Catwoman.

Ture: Um, we're going to have to censor that-

RH: Oh. Really? You're definitely not going to want to interview her ever then. That's like, one of her favorite jokes.

Ture: Well, we weren't-

RH: Wait, you're a gossip tabloid writing a whole story about this relationship drama and you can't even swear? Are you censoring Dick's name then?

Ture: No.

RH: What if I just say **** though?

Ture: We will censor that, yes.

RH: What the ****?

*Hot Gotham Gossip would like it to be known that we did not reach out to Red Hood. He asked to be interviewed himself when he learned of the article being written.

[kimbap-r0ll]

Hi! So I hope this is okay if not don’t worry about it then!

During potions class the ADuce combo accidentally made a potion that trapped MC in there mind (the potion was meant to be a simple brew lord know how they did what they did) so the dorm leaders must go into mcs mind and bring them back in the “drivers seat” MC never told anyone about where there from or there fam so what they see when they enter saddens them. When they first entered they see an MC that looks about 6 guiding them to the first memory. It’s Mc trying to stop a fight between there parents. Following little Mc again they then see Mc trying to take care of there mom and little siblings. The third memory was when mcs mom died, it foggy switching from when she died, the funeral and finally Mc taking on all responsibilities at the age of 14, the final memory they see is an internal one. Mc crying over all the overblots Crowley never helping worry about there siblings it’s all to much. And finally little mc disappeared leaving the mc they all know. Broken crying just wanting a break and true friends. (IM SO SORRY IF THIS IS BAD I HOPE YOU CAN USE THIS!)

Hello, thank you for the ask! To anyone that experienced anything like this btw, I hope you are doing well right now. It's not easy when a family member passes away, or seeing relatives fighting, and I know there isn't much a blogger can do other than write words, so I hope that this virtual hug can brighten your day even by a bit. This one does cover some darker material so I will be making a cut after the title. Other than that, I hope that the headcanons come out well.

Dorm Leaders react to mc's past (family hardships)

tw: parents fighting, death

You blacked out after drinking a potion and Ace and Deuce were panicking while looking for someone. They just happened to run into a dorm leader, great.

Thankfully they're more than happy to help you get out of a situation, so they come running to the rescue!

Riddle

He's shocked to see himself somehow at a person's memory, but even more when he sees a small version of you. He knew he had to help but this was a first timer for a skilled magician like him. First of all, he wants to ask if you can see him but it seems that it's like a movie instead where he can just watch.

He sees your parents fighting, and it causes his hands to go flying to his own ears. It's one thing hearing yelling but seeing parents fighting reminds him of things from home. It's something he understands.

He then sees you take on the responsibility of being your siblings guardian, and it pains him to see that you have to do so much at a young age. He reaches out but can't put a hand on your shoulder.

The next time you see him, his voice is a lot softer and he acts more patiently than his stiff self when with you. You laugh, asking him if he's okay, and he smiles warmly that he is, and that he's glad that you're smiling at him. You're confused but giggle at his remark. He can only hope he can keep making you smile like that.

Leona

"Get me out of this you furbrained idiots," he groans, "I didn't sign up to suddenly enter their childhood." But he stops complaining the moment he sees a child version of you talking to your siblings.

You seemed to be warning them not to go downstairs, and that mom would be okay because you were taking care of her. But behind you it seemed like a loud argument was going on. Leona furrowed his eyebrows, a family fight was what it looked like.

The scene somehow switches and you're taking care of a few younger children while doing your homework. It looked like you hadn't slept in days. You seemed to hold back tears of frustration as you muttered to yourself how you need to keep yourself strong.

You won't hear him ask about your past nor see him act nicely like Riddle. But the next time you ask for a nap with him, he'll hug you tighter than before. He can't do much about changing your past, but if he can at least give you more time to rest let it be that way.

Azul

He wants to get out of here and get you to safety as fast as possible. But then he sees a small version of you crying and trying to pull your mother away from your father.

The two of them were throwing swear words and were close to throwing the vases near them. You were stuck in the middle, tears streaming down your face and not being able to do anything. "YN!" Azul tried to shout, but his voice didn't reach you. He knows how parents fighting can pain you, his own parents did that and those memories sometimes wake him up at night. He wants to find an exit for you fast.

Then the scene changes and you're standing in front of a few of your classmates, thrown to the lockers of your school. "I heard you were parenting your siblings? What did you do, fuck your brother?" one of them spat. Then they began to call you things, and he couldn't help but shake his head while covering his ears. It was like the things he experienced when he was younger, getting bullied and being helpless.

When it's all over and you see him again, he hugs you. You laugh, asking him what happened, but he doesn't say anything. He just tells you that he's glad to have met you, and that you mean the whole ocean to him. You pat him on the back, saying you love him too, but not realizing he's crying tears because of how much it pains him to know you went through so much.

Kalim

He's trying to pull you out but you're like a ghost, his hands just run through you. He sees you shouting at Crowley, who seems to be almost like a faceless creature and more like a reflection on a mirror. You're telling him you can't stay here longer and you have siblings to take care of.

He had seen you with your siblings earlier in the memories, where you were trying to make them stop crying by saying you were watching over them like your mother, but breaking down into tears yourself when you were alone in your room. He felt like crying too.

You cried in your memories, wanting true friends and saying repeatedly how much you wanted someone to just treat you like a human. He shouted your name, wanting to get you out of here, but it wasn't working.

When it's over, he's crying and running to you the next time you wake up. He slams himself to you and you laugh, asking him what was going on. "I LOVE YOU Y/N, DON'T FORGET THAT!" he shouts, squeezing you harder. He knows that you've been through hardships that he never went through, but if he can do anything to help, it's hopefully by reminding you everyday how you are like the sun to him.

Vil

He's already wishing he didn't help haha. He wants to go back, out of this foggy mess until he hears a child's voice crying "stop" over and over again. He turns around and sees a small you.

It's you, but you're trying to stop two people from continuing a screaming match. He scowls; adults fighting in front of a child and making them stressed? As if your health wasn't already damaged when he first saw you, seeing you stressed as a kid and by parents fighting made him want to whisk you out of that situation and slap the parents for not thinking about the kid who's obviously wanting them to stop. But he can't reach you, and it just makes him more desperate to get you out of this.

Then later, after seeing you struggle with your mother's passing and the siblings you had to take care of, he saw you crying to yourself and complaining about the overblots. You said to yourself that you weren't able to take more stress and that you had to go back to your family who needs you. He bit his lip, he knows he's part of the problem. He'll need to apologize as soon as he gets you out of here.

When you wake up, he's sitting next to you, perfect face and everything. But he doesn't greet you with his usual annoyed voice, and instead softly asks if you're alright. When you nod, he closes his eyes, and sighs. "Thank the great seven. If you need anything, just know i'm here for you and..." he takes your hands. "I know words don't work the best, but know that I am grateful for how much you have helped me and the entire school, thank you for being strong."

Idia

He's nervous, and his shaky voice is repeating your name. But then he sees you trying to calm your siblings down as they complain how "mama isn't here" or so. He doesn't need to hear more, he gets it. You're taking care of your siblings as you're parents aren't around. He wants to go in and help you, but can't.

He also understands that this must be like a hologram and waits for the next memory to play, and it shows you arguing with Crowley to no avail and then finally you in a dark room. You look beat up, almost helpless like you really don't have anything left.

You ask for help, for a true friend, for a way back home to get to your siblings. But nothing answers your calls. He feels his body stiffen, knowing that the feeling of loneliness is gnawing at you. Loneliness hurts him too, but he can't imagine how bad it must be for you, especially with you being from a completely different place.

When you wake up, he acts the same around you, but you do notice that his touch is a lot softer. He asks about your siblings, and you share stories with him about the funny antics they do or the nice things you did with them. You notice that Ortho shows up more often with him too, which makes you happy. He just wants to make the most of a family-like feeling for you to feel better in, and hopefully he can help find a way back home for you.

Malleus

He knows what this potion does, and he's ready to face whatever memories might show up. But he wasn't expecting to see you trying to stop your parents from fighting, a small fragile version of you standing between large adults. He furrows his eyebrows as you're eventually pushed out of the room.

Then he sees you in front of a gravestone, telling yourself and your mother that you'll do your best to take their place. You're shaking, nails digging into your palms. But what happens next isn't something he was ready for.

He hears you crying, a cry for help but for friends too. You say you just want to be treated normally, like a human. This hits him, hard. You're lonely. You're like him, feeling as though there's no one to turn to nor to smile with. He can't help but call out your name though he knows it's futile, he wishes he could do something to make this end faster but it goes on.

When you wake up, he smiles at you like he always did and asks if you're alright. You say you feel a bit dizzy, but he then takes you by the hand and offers to take a walk with you. He knows that loneliness hurts, but if he can do even a little bit to make you feel like there's someone there for you, he will. "Y/n," he stops during the walk. "Know that to me, you are the world, and I will continue to be by your side no matter what." You can't help but smile at his words.

#   ⌒ INCORRECT QUOTES W/ THE CHOCOBROS & CLOUD

pt. 2

ignis: If you bite it and you die, it’s poisonous. If it bites you and you die, it’s venomous.

prompto: What if it bites me and it dies!?

noctis: Then you’re poisonous. Jesus Christ, prompto, learn to listen.

gladio: What if it bites itself and I die?

m/n: That’s voodoo.

cloud: What if it bites me and someone else dies?

prompto: That’s correlation, not causation.

gladio: What if we bite each other, and neither of us die?

m/n: That’s kinky.

ignis: Oh my God.

*Everyone is standing around the broken coffee maker*

ignis: So. Who broke it? I'm not mad, I just wanna know.

Everyone:

prompto: ...I did. I broke it.

ignis: No. No you didn't. noctis?

noctis: Don't look at me. Look at gladio.

gladio: What?! I didn't break it.

noctis: Huh, that's weird. How'd you even know it was broken?

gladio: Because it's sitting right in front of us and it's broken.

noctis: Suspicious.

gladio: No, it's not!

m/n: If it matters, probably not, but cloud was the last one to use it.

cloud: Liar! I don't even drink that crap!

m/n: Oh really? Then what were you doing by the coffee cart earlier?

cloud: I use the wooden stirrers to push back my cuticles. Everyone knows that, m/n!

prompto: Okay let's not fight. I broke it. Let me pay for it, ignis.

ignis: No! Who broke it!?

Everyone:

m/n: ignis... noctis's been awfully quiet.

noctis: rEALLY?!

*Everyone starts arguing*

ignis, being interviewed: I broke it. I burned my hand so I punched it.

ignis: I predict 10 minutes from now they'll be at each other's throats with warpaint on their faces and a pig head on a stick.

ignis:

ignis: Good. It was getting a little chummy around here.

ignis: *Posts a super low-quality image to the group chat*

prompto: If I had a dollar for every pixel in this image, I’d have 15 cents

ignis: If I had a dollar for every ounce of rage I felt in my body after I read this text, I would have enough money to buy a cannon to fire at you

noctis: Actually I did the math, prompto would have $225, not $0.15.

prompto: Fam I’m right here....

gladio: If I had a dollar I would buy a can of soda :)

ignis: while you’re there could you buy me an apply juice please?

gladio: Sorry I only have a dollar

ignis: :(

noctis: Hey I just realized my friend is right, prompto would have $22,500 because it's a dollar for every pixel, not a cent

gladio: If I had $22,500 I would buy a can of soda and an apply juice

noctis: You can buy anything you want with $22,500

m/n: Yeah and they want soda and apply juice

noctis: Apply juice to what

cloud: Directly to the forehead

gladio: I hope it emotionally scars you for the rest of your life.

m/n: I hope you reach out to me so I can ignore you.

cloud: I can't wait to go to your funeral, knowing I could've changed that outcome.

[pebblysand]

Heyyy Pebbles! Hope you're doing fab as always! Have been re reading Castles and ukw I'm just so happy that i did since I feel I've missed out on some minor aspects than what I had read the previous time and most of all I absolutely adore your writing skills. I'm so in awe of how well you write and I just can't seem to fathom how you do it.

If it's okay, can you please share sneak peeks of the following words

'Love', 'better', 'care/caring', 'kind/kindness', 'mum', 'dad', 'brother/brothers', 'harry', 'ginny'

Don't mean to pressurize you or anything but I just wanna tell you that I'm so so excited for the next chapters and i can't wait to read them ❤ and yeah thanks so kuch for the great content, you've no idea how happy you make me (ik castles is somewhat angsty lol but it does make me happy😊)

hiiiii! aw, thank you so much, that's so sweet 🥹❤️! this means the world, really!! also, bear in mind that these might not even be aspects that you missed, but things i changed in the interim haha. i do go back and tweak things sometimes :).

okay, sneak peeks! do note that this is a first draft and that some of these may not make the final version ❤️.

love: Harry tensed, that morning, but Ginny let her mother yell. She tended to the owl and let her mother yell and let the minutes pass - until the letter turned into ash. ‘It’s how she shows love,’ she shrugged. Errol was blinking wildly; she took him into her arms like a baby, as if to shelter him from the screaming. ‘Fred and George got half a dozen of them after they decided to open the shop. It’s the silence you really need to worry about.’

better (this one yielded a major spoiler but i'll allow it lol): Ginny chose. He helped. It was one afternoon a bit later, when he found her laying on her stomach on Sirius’s bed (her bed - their bed, he corrected), wearing a t-shirt and a pair of jean shorts tight around her bum, surrounded with Muggle and Wizarding travel guides, spines broken, open flat around her, the tip of her quill caressing her bottom lip. He couldn’t help but smile. ‘So, I was thinking -’ she explained. His gaze settled on hers. ‘You’ve never been out of the country so maybe somewhere they speak English is better.’ She hummed a little, like she knew he was looking. ‘There’s Australia,’ she added. ‘But, I reckon maybe that might not be something we want.’ There wasn’t any need to say more. ‘Plus, anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere is gonna be winter.’ She paused, glanced up at him. There was that thing in her gaze that always makes his trousers feel tight. ‘So, I was thinking: America?’

care: He shakes his head. Knows damn well she didn’t mean for this to happen. ‘I didn’t see him either.’ In the dark, with the flashing lights, it’s lucky they even saw him at all. Harry decides he doesn’t want this to ruin her night. ‘It’s fine,’ he says. ‘I don’t care.’

kind: As they travel the Midwest, with the sun on her face, Ginny sleeps in the car. She does that a lot, Harry notices, and it kind of makes him wonder if she sleeps at night. She found the time to create that map she gave him for his birthday without him noticing. They are laying in bed one night when she says: ‘I don’t want you to die.’

mum: Molly sent a howler the day after their first date. Errol collapsed on the kitchen table over their late breakfast - Ginny had to go fetch water and spoon-feed him a snack. ‘Mum should retire you,’ she said, petting his head gently. ‘You poor thing.’

dad: He and Ron get ready in Ron’s bedroom at the Burrow and later, decide to stay hidden there until the actual ceremony. Guests have started arriving; they ran upstairs as soon as Aunt Muriel’s charming tune came up the depths of the Floo. ‘Hermione invited her,’ Ron rolls his eyes, now. He is laying on his bed in formal robes, flipping through a Quidditch magazine. Harry’s sat on the floor, playing with the Game Boy he got a couple weeks ago. Loosely trying to catch a Bulbasaur. ‘Said she’d hidden the fam and all. Was the correct thing to do. Like Luna’s dad - well, I guess they’re neighbours, that would have been rude. You know what though?’ he adds, eyeing the mess around them, everything from the wedding gifts to the dirty shirts. ‘I am kinda glad we’re not getting married in my bedroom.’

brother, harry & ginny: It is around ten by the time the garden is finally sorted, the shield up and waterproof, and the chairs all aligned. Fifteen minutes later, Harry is finally summoned by Ginny to go meet Hermione - she opens Ron’s bedroom door without so much as a knock and her brother screams: ‘Merlin’s balls, I could have been NAKED!’

i do hope to finish the first draft this weekend, but we shall see 😉.

─「エデン」─  " what kind of dreams do you see when you sleep ? " the TRAILBLAZER broke the soft, comfortable silence between them. she had her head rested to his arm, leaning to the side and allowing her weight to be shouldered by him. he could push her off easily if he wished to, however. it wasn't like she was holding him. she was just resting on him. there was something about his presence that had become a bit of a comfort to her. it was weird. she felt disturbed by his presence before, but now, being close to him actually gave her that sense of calmness. her eyes were closed, breathing quietly. it's nice and warm.

Warnings : suicidal thoughts and self harm

-----------------------------------------

You can talk to me

It was another day, really, just another day where you would wake up, struggle to do simple tasks, go to the armed detective agency, being a burden, feeling horrible, punishing yourself, and then just trying to sleep at night, the same hell everyday. Sure there are positive things, sure there are fun things that happens , but did you really deserve theses ? Did you really deserve anything good happening to you? Why would you? You were this pathetic, not even able to accept positive things happening to you. Nontheless , why would you even deserve punishment ? Isns't this all just worthless ? Did you deserve anything to begin with?

You entered the detective agency to see everyone's face.. Huh ? The vibes changed in the room, it isn't like the usual, not the same routine where you would just enter to see kunikida working non-stop, ranpo already eating snacks, yosano being bored already waiting for someone to be hurt so that she can treat them, and dazai already on the couch probably thinking about 1001 ways to annoy kunikida or commit suicide. But right now, it seems like they were waiting for something, were they waiting for you? Dazai was clinging into Kunikida begging for something you don't know about "Kunikida pretty pleaseeeee come on aren't we squad fam??? " He begged "In your dreams Dazai, and don't even think about using my money" Kunikida replied, tanizaki turned to you and said " Guys, y/n is here " , they all turned to you, you didn't like this feeling. "Umm... Hello? " You said "Y/n ! You're here, are you ready for the splash of your life? " Yosano said "ehhh.. What?? " You said confused "Oh ? You forgot ? We're going to the beach today, do you have a swimsuit ? " She asked , it looked like your stupid ass forgot something again yayyy .. Wait..the beach ? Oh there's no way you're going there, they are going to see your marks you have given to yourself, they are going to see how pathetic you are, no, there's no way you're going to be more of a burden than you are right now. But you don't know what to say and how to react "umm.. I don't have a swimsuit and i can't swim anyways i'm uh.. Heh.. Scared of water ? " You lied with a voice that showed clear confidence and you looked so certain - no, it looked like no one bought it. "Oh.. That's okay i guess, do you still want to go ? We can still have a lot of fun together. " The pink haired girl asked, you liked her a lot, damn you even loved her, you were tempted to say no because you really didn't deserve to feel theses things and you shouldn't feel them in the first place. But you accepted to go anyways "Yeah.. I guess it'll be fun".

So you went to the beach with them, with... Long sleeves ! That's definitely not suspicious.. But you were used to lying so despites the fact they were detective, it'll be okay right? Ahh i swear to god y/n if you messed up again-

" Y/n ? Why are you wearing long sleeves ? " Yosano asked curious, you looked at your feets embarassed , "um well I... All of other clothes are in the laundry you see.. Eheh " You lied again "you should of told me sooner, i'm sure i have a spare shirt for you " She said you direclty replied without hesitations wich might have aroused suspcions "no no no ! It's fine it's fine don't worry! I'll be okay ! " Yosano seemed hesitant but said "hmm.. Okay, if you say so " She didn't seem convinced but she let it flee, and there we go, you're being a burden again! How awesome ! Congratulations y/n ! What an acchievement ! Could you ever acchieve something that wasn't negative? I mean sure you did succeed in some missions, but the others would have done it better, you're wasting their time, why can't they see it? Why can't they see what you see? You walked silently, head full of thoughts, honestly, it wasn't even worth to talk, you would just waste their time again, why were you even here in the first place ? Why did you wake up this morning? Why are you keeping this up? No no... You shouldn't free yourself from everything, you should feel more pain, you should stay in this hellish place and suffer, but is it worth it if you're being constantly a burden? Suddenly, something shook you away from your thoughts "hey hey y/n ! Race you there ! " Ranpo said a big smile on his face - oh hell you're being too obvious, of course ranpo figured you needed to think about other things than what you're actually thinking about, so to avoid any other suspicions, you akwardly run to race with ranpo to the beach wich seemed to be not really far from you, arrived there, ranpo won the race - there we go, you're being ridiculous again. "Now you owe me a chocolate bar ! " He declared "whaaaat? " You said "rules are rules " He said "but i didn't agree-" You started to defend yourself but got interrupted by Dazai yelling "OOOH ! THE WATER IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND PROFOUND ! THIS IS PERFECT FOR A DEADLY TRAVEL ! " As he gets grabbed by kunikida as he said in a calm tone "there are kids and families there, do not force trauma into their brain just because of your suicidal fantaisies" Dazai complained "awww you're so mean kunikida-kunn.. " Kunikida then let dazai fall on the ground as Dazai immediatly starts to play around with the sand and declared, stars in his eyes "KUNIKIDA I KNOW! bury me in the sand ! This way the kids won't see me right ? " Kunikida stopped to seem calm and his glasses broke again as he yelled and started to shake dazai "I'M GONNA KILL YOU YOU BANDAGE WASTING MACHINE ! " Dazai replied without any hesitations "YES PLEASE STRANGLE ME WITH YOUR DELICATE FINGERS KUNIKIDA" wich made kunikida angrier, things were starting to get a bit weird in there -

A lot of things were happening at the same time, Atsushi was with kyoka building sand castles, Dazai was messing with Kunikida left over neurons , Kenji was... Taking care of a cow ? Honestly, you weren't even surprised at this point.Finally , Yosano and ranpo were having a fight consisted of splashing water at themselves, and you were just there, alone, sitting in the sand as the worthless persson you could be , they were all having fun without you. It's cool for them. It's not like you deserved anything more anyways, what do you expect ? This was already too much for you, you started to feel an urge. If only you could just live a normal life without all theses thoughts , without being a burden in the first place. Why did it have to be you? Why did you have to have this happy, lucky and blessed life? Why weren't you grateful? So many people wish to be in your shoes.. So why not them? Why did it have be you out of all people ? If only you could do something about it, if only there was a magic wand to erase this you and replace it with another completly different person. You're a complete mistake, why did you even face this world ?

The members were starting to go up to you and were proposing stuff to do with you and you declined - Really, you just didn't feel like it, and who said you deserved anything good to happen to you anyways ? God y/n you're being too obvious today..

After the 365th time of you declining any activites , you feel a hand in your shoulder behind you, the person said "hey y/n are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere ? You know we can still go back to the agency so that i can treat your wounds" You felt weird at her voice, did she knows about your wounds?? You jumped a bit - Oh no this can't be good , wait maybe it's not what she meant calm down- "Ah ! Uhhhhh... No no i'm good ! " You said sounding yet again, very convincing. Yosano thinked and then she said "Na you're coming with me y/n " She said grabbing your arm "ouch-" You said out loud by accident "oh, did that hurt? I'm sorry" She said as she stopped grabbing your arm and held your hands instead , making you blush, something in her voice was sweeter than usual and her holding your hands seemed more relaxing.. You were a blushing mess and so you decided to look at your feets as you walked. It seemed Yosano had something to tell you - she wasn't wearing a swimsuit anymore, she was wearing a normal outfit meaning she was planning to talk to you and you didn't even notice that, were you thinking that bad? I guess you were.

So you both walked in silent in the streets as yosano held your hands. Finally, you both arrived, she oppened the door of the treatment room for you as you stepped in, a little scared of what's about to come, hoping she only wants to talk to you about anything trivial, you always avoided treatment to avoid revealing your cuts - it was kinda hard but somehow you always managed to avoid treatment. "So.. Why did you bring me here? " You asked , as she entered the room and closed the door. Yosano then said "Y/n..i need to check something, can you roll up your sleeves please? " Oh no this can't be good how could you escape this situation ? You already felt like you were about to shake "umm.. What do you even need to check? " You asked "Don't worry i won't judge you, just trust me. " She responded, in a serious yet gentle tone. She knew she definitely knew and there's nothing you can do about this situation, just show your pathetic self to the one person you love, feels great. You slowly roll up your sleeves as you start shaking , yosano take your arm carefully and look at them examinating them. "I-I'm sorry" You apologized "don't apologize y/n it's okay.. It can be that hard " She said making you reply ; "b-but it shouldn't be - I-I'm just that pathetic-", you started crying, yosano replied " Don't say that y/n.." As she went to hug you and say "and let me tell you one thing y/n.you're not pathetic, you're probably one of the strongest person i met, you never failed to amaze me. " You didn't understand " H-how-" was all you could say as yosano was rubbing your back "and you were always fun to hang around with" She decided to say "you don't have to deal with this alone, you can talk to me if anything is bothering you y/n, that won't bother me the slightest bit" She continued "we love you for who you are y/n and we'll always have your back , do not forget that" She finished, you continued crying silently , you were tired and didn't know what to think about so all you said was this one sentence "yeah.. Thank you", you stopped the hug and whiped away your tears. " Do you want to go clear up your mind and go shopping ? " She asked wich didn't really surprise you "no.. It's okay, i'm tired.. " You replied "you can rest in one of the bed here" She said as you went to one of the bed and lied down" Do you need anything else? " She asked "actually.. I'd like uh... Cuddles? " You replied a bit embarassed "hm? sure " Yosano reacted as she smiled and went to cuddle with you as you both fell asleep like this, let's say the next time you woke up was quite interesting as it was when your boss was in front of you surrounded by your colleagues. Such a fantastic way to start another hellish day.. Or maybe after this it won't be that much of an awful day and it will all slowly and finally change?

When you thought about your first heartbreak, you’d thought you would be nonstop sobbing in your bed, being surrounded by empty jars of melted ice cream pints and sad movies. You thought that despite the distance, your mom would make the trip and drive all the way to see you, rub your back in small comforting circles and take care of you as if you were a sick child. You thought that everything would hurt so much that you wouldn’t even want to move. 

The only problem? Your first heartbreak didn’t feel like that at all. 

It was all practically numb.

You didn’t fall apart when you did something that reminded you of him. 

You didn’t start breaking down when you watched him pick up Jules and didn’t bother to come in to your office to say hi to you. 

You didn’t crumble to pieces when you had no notifications on your phone from him.

You lived your life normally again just without Jungkook and Jules. 

Alone.

There were no more screams or echoes of noise from Jules and her cousins when you peacefully relaxed, there was no more idle music playing in background as you did your work and there were no more soft breaths and snores next to you in your bed. 

Your mom called you every night on the phone, checking up on you. It was like she wanted you to cry and to feel some pain, just so she could go down there and be there for you. But you told her that you were fine and will deal with whatever negative feelings when they come. 

Life went on whether you liked it or not. 

Three weeks after the break up, at the end of March, there was a familiar knock on your office door after the last school bell rang. You haven’t talked to Jules since the night she found you looking at pictures of her mom, and you really hope it wasn’t awkward when you talk to her. 

It’s the first time you see Jules’s hair was down, strands of her hair going in every direction. She looks like a mess. Tears streamed down her face as she ran towards you, hugging your legs. “Can you help me?” 

“What’s wrong, Sweetie?” 

“I lost Jungkook’s mp3 player,” she cried, rubbing her face on your black dress pants to wipe her tears. “He’s going to kill me!” 

“It’s okay, Jules.” Bending down to comfort her, you wipe her face and stroke her hair. You’ve never seen her this sad, and it made your heart sink. “I’m sure he’ll understand. Things like this happen all the time. It’s okay.” 

She shook her head. “Auntie Moon Soo is coming soon, and I can’t leave without the mp3 player. I can’t.” 

“Why don’t we ask her to come look for it with you?” You asked softly. “That way 3 people are looking for it.” 

Namjoon’s wife, Moon Soo comes out of her van, she’s surprised to see you standing next to Jules. She doesn’t say anything to you at first and tries to reassure Jules that’ll be alright, that they will find it before Jungkook goes home tonight.

When it’s been over 30 minutes, retracing Jule’s steps from her locker to the gym to the playground, she goes to the bathroom, making you and Moon Soo wait outside for her. 

“I’m sorry we had to meet like this in this circumstance,” she said, offering a kind smile. “I heard a lot of great things about you, and I’m sorry things didn’t go well at the dinner with the girls.”

You hear Jules flush the toilet. “It is what it is.” 

“I know what it was like,” she said. “They made it seem like I wasn’t good enough for Joon, and we took a small break too. But at the end of the day, it’s about how you feel about Jungkook and Jules that matters more than their opinions, especially if they brought up Sarah.” 

“I’m almost done!” Jules shouted, turning on the sink. 

“But that doesn’t change the way Jungkook feels about Sarah.” Tears were forming in your eyes, and you bit your lip to hold them back. “But I’m glad you and Namjoon were able to overcome it.” 

“It’s been like what, almost a month? Jules knows Jungkook can easily buy her a new mp3 player, or even a phone, anything she wants, honestly. But think about it...I’m sure she misses you and is using this as an opportunity to spend time with you again.” 

“Can we check out my classroom?” Jules finally opened the door, getting out of the restroom. 

The three of you walk quietly over to her class where she looked through every desk (without touching their things) and looked over to the place where she reads books in the class. She lifted the bean bag in the corner of the room, revealing what she has been looking for this whole time. “Yay!” 

“See, everything is okay.” Moon soo smiled. “Are you ready to go, Jules?” 

She nodded, but then stared at you with her piercing eyes. “Is this going to be the last time you’re going to talk to me?” 

“Of course not, Jules.” You took a breath. “I’m here for you always.” 

“I have to tell you something.” But before she could tell you, she pointed at Moon Soo. “Why didn’t you go to the bathroom when we went, Auntie?” 

Moon Soo raised her eyebrows, then looked down at what Jules was pointing at. She then began holding on to her stomach with a pained look. “My water just broke.”

_______

“Hey!” Namjoon exclaimed, rushing through the hospital doors. Before he goes to Moon Soo’s room, he went towards your direction as you waited outside the room with Jules. “Thank you so much for bringing her here safely and for being there for her at that time. I seriously cannot thank you enough.”

“No worries,” you let out. “I’m glad I was there.” 

He’s about to say something, but you hear Moon Soo scream Namjoon’s name, making him go into the room as quickly as he can. 

Your phone in your blazer buzzed. 

[seokjin]

the whole fam is coming in about 10 minutes 

thank you for taking care of jules

will be there soon and you can leave

“Are you leaving when they come?” Jules asked as she looked down at your phone screen, seeing the texts from. “You’re not going to stay to see the babies?” 

“I don’t know yet.” You lied, knowing you were going to leave once someone is here able to take care and watch over Jules. As much as you wanted to see the twins, you didn’t want to see some specific people. You were doing fine right now in your life and didn’t want to ruin that if you saw Jungkook or some of the girls. “I have a lot of work to do still, Sweetheart.” 

“Will you see the babies with me on different day then?” 

“I hope so.” You couldn’t make an empty promise to her. “Are you excited to have more cousins?” 

She nodded. “I like my small family, but sometimes, I hate being alone. The cousins help me forget that I can’t have any brothers or sisters.”

You sighed, wrapping your arm around Jules. “Never forget that you will always have your family, your uncles, aunts and cousins to support you. They will always be there.”

“Will you?” She asked, looking up at you, once again, her eyes were so piercing.

“I hope so.” You rubbed her back in small circles. 

“I heard what Auntie said when I was in the bathroom,” she said. “I missed you, but I had to find this mp3 player. Jungkook’s new song is on here. I’m always the first to listen, and I didn’t want to lose this song.” 

“That’s good you found it then.” 

She’s about to tell you more, her mouth is slightly opened, but she doesn’t say anything more and started to stare in the direction behind you. Letting go of her, you turned behind, seeing Jungkook walking towards you two. 

He paused, not expecting to see you here, but then continued to walk forward as you looked away, not wanting to meet his eyes. “Are you okay?” 

“I’m hungry,” Jules answered with a pouty look on her face.

He laughed, taking his leather wallet out of his back pocket. He hands her a couple dollar bills, telling her to get something for the three of them from the vending machine. “Go crazy.” 

“You know I will,” she joked. 

There’s awkward silence in the air now, with Jules gone. Jungkook then sat down in the empty chair beside you, with his head turned to you as you looked down at your hands in your lap. He doesn’t know where to start and what words to say. How ironic, coming from a songwriter. “Hey.”

“Hi.” 

“Did you eat yet?” He asked. 

“Nope,” you replied, still not looking at him. “Did you?”

“Not yet.”

“I should get going.” You finally took the first step, grabbing your purse off the ground. 

Before you could take another step, Jungkook reached forward and grabbed your wrist, stopping your movement. “I never loved her, you know.” 

You wanted to shake him off, go on your own way, but you kept standing in front of him, facing away from him. “What?” 

He sighed, wishing he could look you in the eyes. “I never answered you that day because I was too scared to admit it out loud. I never got to tell her either, and I knew she loved me. The thing was I only thought of her as a sister, someone I had to protect. And I was afraid that if I actually told someone that I didn’t love her before she got the chance to hear it from me, I would somehow hurt her even though she’s gone.” 

“Jungkook,” You said this name, but he kept talking.

“I know that’s no excuse, but I am so sorry. I never wanted you to feel like that, and I should have just told you. No one has been competing with you.” He let go of your hand and stood up. “I don’t want you to be Sarah because I love you for who you are. I want you for who you are. My life feels incomplete without you.”

Finally turning around, you stared at Jungkook. It’s the first time finally looking at him up close in three weeks, and he looked like death. Dark circles were under his eyes, his hair was a mess. You could tell Jungkook felt too much.

And he did. For the last three weeks, he got up every morning, trying to ignore the pain he was feeling in his heart. He tried to continue his life like everything was okay, but all he kept thinking about was you. He wanted you to see you when he picked Jules up from school. He wanted to hear you laugh when he watched a movie with Jules. He wanted to you next to him when he was alone on Wednesdays. He wanted to hear you cheer for Jules when he watched her soccer games. He just wanted you. 

With all the pain he had been feeling, he’s been trying to figure out his feelings and all the words he wanted to say to you that night, and now that he was finally letting all of it go, he was crying right in front of you.

“You saw me more than Jule’s guardian. I felt like you were the first person to honestly see me for me. I want to live spending more time with you, watching Jules’s games, hearing all your different opinions and views than mine. And I am so sorry that I damaged us in the process.”

“Hey, Y/N!” Namjoon rushed out of the room. His jaw dropped once he saw you and Jungkook together, looking all sad. Still, his smile on his face reappeared as he asked, “Do you guys want to see the babies?”

On another note if you want to read another comfort fic; I have a small series called “A Painful Reminder” which is more angsty but the 2nd part is more about the comfort, if that is something for you 

Living in the SMP was chaotic, turbulent and at times downright painful.

Most people tended to gravitate to one cause or other people to deal with this. Holding on to something so they don’t get pulled under. Get buried beneath the chaos and the violence.

So having people like Y/N around was like a godsend. They were one of the few people that seemed to be able to withstand the constant waves of misfortune and stand strong. Be the rock to hold onto when everything got too overwhelming.

Wilbur, Technoblade and Tommy loved their sibling for it.

After Wilbur and Tommy got exiled with Y/N out of L’Manberg, they were there and cheered both of their siblings up. Immediately making plans on how to set up a safe home and collecting ideas on how to get back. They were the one who managed to get a message out to Technoblade and asked him to visit them. Maybe help them.

Wilbur often jokingly said that Y/N was the glue that held the family together, to which they would always reply with the warmest of smiles “I’m glad.”

And what he said was true. Whenever the family fell on hard times and they began to drift apart it was Y/N who pulled all of them back. Pulling them back to reality and giving solutions for their problems if needed.

Sitting down with Wilbur when things got to much. Listening to his thoughts and worries, letting his emotion run freely without judgement. While they looked worried for him, their comforting smile never faltered. Offering him solutions to problems if he wanted it, otherwise they gave him the chance to just air his own thoughts out. To be angry with him. Sad with him.

Working with Tommy on his own projects. Listening to his ideas and giving him a different perspective that could improve some things but also respecting it when Tommy wanted to do this his way. And while he liked to brag and pretend that some things didn’t hit him that hard, they were still patiently listening to him as he spoke about his own pain in a more roundabout way. Telling him that he was not alone and making him feel heard.

Talking to Technoblade whenever the voices got too loud or out of hand again. He would just walk over to them and nudge them away, asking them to talk about something, no matter what. He just needed to hear their voice and be able to concentrate on it. Tune out the garbled voices in his head with a familiar sound that calmed him down no matter what. Leaning against them, slowly falling asleep as Y/N told all about how they were happily working on their own farm and what shenanigans they got up to.

Y/N really was like the warm sun on a cold day. Warming them up and protecting them.

Yes, Y/N was strong. So strong that even Technoblade considered them stronger than him. Maybe not physically but mentally and emotionally.

A clanging of metal rung through the cave. Techno was training with Wilbur while Tommy was just watching. Cheering on Techno.

It wasn’t an unusual situation and something Y/N expected to see as they made their way down the staircase. Wilbur in full iron armor and weapon while Techno just fought back with his own iron sword.

“Hey, Y/N! Welcome back!” Wilbur breathed out. Sweat running down the side of his face as he stopped attacking his brother.

The three men looked happily over to their sibling who slowly walked towards them but soon their expressions fell. Something was off about Y/N and it confused the three.

Their smile was as always plastered on their face but it looked strained. Their eyes wide open, trying to look sincere and loving but the glassy look of them gave off a different picture.

“Y/N? You okay?” Tommy asked as he stood up from the ground. Taking a step closer to them which made them in return stop in their tracks.

Y/N was hugging themself, shakily opening up their mouth to answer but nothing came out. It was then when Techno got very aware of how they were shaking in general.

This all seemed so wrong. This shouldn’t be possible. It just didn’t seem to register fully inside their minds.

Wilbur made sure to get rid off his sword and armor as fast as he could, walking over to his sibling, trying to get a better look at them but they just avoided his gaze.

Staring at the ground, slowly shaking their head “It’s- It’s fine. I’m fine.”

“You aren’t. You really aren’t. What happened? Did they find you?” Techno asked, his voice full with worry. A bit of anger hidden as well.

Y/N had their own little farm in order to support Pogtopia. The potatoes from Techno were great but variety is important after all. Though they also had an abundance of wheat they usually tried to smuggle into Manberg for Niki. Trying to help her out as much as possible with her taxes and work.

This time Y/N nodded “They did… It’s fine though. I’m fine. I’m not hurt. It’s all good.”

Wilbur’s frown deepened “Usually when people have to be so adamant about being okay something isn’t alright.”

Tommy nodded, supporting his statement only to whisper to himself “Adamant? What does-“

But Wilbur continued “We are your family, talk to us.”

Y/N licked their chapped lips “I’m-“

The tears finally escaped their eyes and begun streaming down their face. Sobbing they fell down on the ground. Wilbur immediately followed suit, laying his arm around them and pulling them against his chest. His hand flew up to their head and begun going through their hair, trying to calm them down. Humming a soft tune from their childhood.

It was the first time in their lives they saw Y/N break down like that and it was quite frankly shocking.

Unsure what to do with himself Tommy squatted down “Um, uh, what- what happened?”

Techno was still gripping the iron sword in his hand. Pacing up and down. Manberg found them? What the hell did they do to make Y/N break down like that? His own sibling! Whatever it was he would make sure to pay it back a thousand times over.

“Tommy can you grab them some water?” Wilbur laid his chin on top of Y/N’s head, rubbing circles now on their back.

He didn’t even hesitate, jumping up to run towards one of the chests with food items that Y/N had always ready for them. Grabbing a water bottle and running back over. Happy that he could do something else besides staring.

Tommy then pushed the bottle towards Y/N who gratefully took it, putting some space between them and Wilbur as they drank some of the cold liquid which helped them to calm down.

“You ready to tell us what happened?” Techno stopped pacing around. His gaze purely trained on his crying sibling. Anger still rising in him just like the voices.

Screaming things like “Technosib! How dare they hurt them! Protect them! I love Y/N so much! Why would anyone hurt Y/N! They always help us! Let’s help them for a change! Technosib! Let’s go out and fight them! Yeah! Blood for the Blood God and Y/N!”

Y/N’s voice was still wavering and a bit scratchy from their sobbing as they begun speaking “Hey, hey! Techno don’t concentrate on the voices. Listen to me. It’s all good.”

This somehow made Techno angry. He threw the sword away and finally knelt down next to them as well so his face was on the same eye level as theirs “Stop. Please. Stop thinking about us for one second. Stop trying to not make us uncomfortable or worried! Tell us what happened! Please.”

He was basically begging at the last part. All his worry packed into it.

“Yeah, honestly you trying to make sure everything is okay for us makes us even more worried.” It surprised the others a bit that this came from Tommy but he was correct.

Tears fell down their face again “I- I was just delivering more wheat to Niki and someone must have followed me. They followed me back to my farm and- and- they burned my fields down. There were explosions. I- it was just my farm. I did not harm. Just, why does it always have to end like this. Why do all the good things always end like this. Why can’t this place let something be. There is always something.”

The farm was so important to Y/N. It was their little project they put so much sweat, love and work into. It was their home away from home. A place to retreat and enjoy some peace. This obviously was devastating. It was their one thing they had for themself. The one thing that wasn’t there for anyone else but them.

It was also clear that this seemed to be the straw that broke the camel’s back and it broke the three a bit that they only now seemed to notice this. That it took that long and their whole farm being destroyed for the realize this was heartbreaking.

“Who?” Techno urged but Y/N shook their head.

“I don’t know. Everything went so fast and I tried to save as much as I could but- but it’s all gone. It’s all gone.” Their voice jumped up an octave at the end, burying their face against Wilbur’s shoulder again. Silently sobbing.

It should have been impossible but Wilbur’s frown deepened and his expression turned more grim “Don’t worry. We will get back at them. We will get our revenge. They will see firsthand what they did to you, I promise.”

Shocked Y/N looked up, their red and puffy eyes wide open “Wil, that’s not what I- no revenge. There is already too much misery going around I just want this to stop. I just want all of us being able to live in peace.”

Wilbur should have known that Y/N was too good natured for that but he couldn’t help himself. He was just so angry. Angry at Schlatt and Manberg. That they went for him was one thing but to go out of their way to treat Y/N like this? Let’s just say he put it on the list in bold letters with reasonings on why he will get back at the Manberg faction.

“Listen Y/N.” Techno begun, his voice now calm again “Stop it. Just for once think about yourself. Stop thinking about others for once. You are also worthy of the same care you give us. Let us at least help rebuild your farm. You always help us with our projects, let us help you with yours.”

Tommy seemed to lit up at that “That sounds like a good idea! We could build towers around your new farm and make sure no one gets in! We could put down traps and all!”

He really wasn’t sure how to react but that was at least something he could do for them. As the past General’s right hand man, this should be something he can do. If he couldn’t protect his sibling how could he ever hope to get L’Manberg back.

Wilbur seemed to think about it for a bit but agreed “Yeah, how does that sound?” Though the dark glint in his eyes stayed. The cogs in head still running off with his own thoughts.

“You guys would? Since when can you guys build?” a dry laugh escaped them but it was a laugh nonetheless.

Both Tommy and Wilbur looked almost appalled at that claim while Techno just shrugged and nodded. Just looking around Pogtopia was more functioning than good looking after all. Y/N tried to pretty it up a bit but usually something always happened around here.

“Also Y/N, please talk to us more. Don’t bottle everything up. Please. We worry a lot about you and we love you. You always do so much for us, let us do the same.” Wilbur pushed Y/N a bit off of him and looked them deep into their eyes, hoping that this would really hammer in that this was a genuine plea.

As a respone Y/N wiped the tears off their face “I understand. I’ll try to remember that.”

“Don’t try just do it.”

BnHA Chapter 302: As the Todoroki Turns

Previously on BnHA: 

Today on BnHA: We have a very fun chapter in which (1) Shouto grows up lonely on account of his parents being worried that his siblings will literally try to kill him, (2) Natsu and Fuyu grow up neglected on account of not being special and/or self-destructive enough to attract attention, (3) we get to revisit all of that exciting spousal abuse from chapter 39, and (4) Touya burns to death right on cue, pretty much exactly like we expected it to happen. Thankfully since this is a shounen manga, Horikoshi finds some hope in all this misery as the Todoroki family rallies together, with Shouto getting his long-overdue credit for being a perfect sweet angel who put up with all of this shit for sixteen years and somehow came out of it strong and kind and empathetic and determined. Anyway, so that flashback was a barrel of laughs. But now that it’s over, we can put all of that angst behind us, and move on to... well I guess, probably, more angst. Look, we’re short on variety at the moment. Bear with it.

ouch. we knew this was coming, but still

A+ parenting move there. “ho boy, our eldest just tried to murder our youngest, now what? hmm how about we isolate our youngest from all human contact”

though in their defense, we probably shouldn’t have expected this rabidly strength-obsessed fire man and his wife who was groomed since childhood to obey her family’s whims to have any idea of how to raise stable, well-adjusted offspring

SERIOUSLY YOU GUYS

this is a perfect example of Enji’s tragically self-revolving viewpoint right here. just because being a hero is your entire world doesn’t mean you can just excuse yourself from anything outside of that and act like it’s out of your control. “alas, all I care about is hero stuff and my son can’t be a hero, we are doomed to inhabit two different worlds” no you jackass, it’s called having more than one hobby?? figuring out how to spend some time with your son that doesn’t involve training?? the same exact thing you were telling him to do last week, while ignoring that you’ve never done that yourself in your life??

that said, yet again we have that complexity though because it’s obvious that Enji at least on some level is aware of his own flaws, even though he seems unwilling or unable to confront them. honestly, from what we’ve seen so far, Enji’s obsession with surpassing All Might might be more accurately called an addiction. he literally can’t let go of it even though he’s fully aware of how it’s slowly destroying his life. and so in the same way that a lifelong smoker or alcoholic might tell their child to stay away from cigarettes and booze, Enji tells Touya not to follow down the same path as him, even though he himself doesn’t know how to leave that path. so yes, it’s hypocritical as fuck, but there’s also an element of helplessness there as well because Enji literally doesn’t know how not to be like this

though all the same he sure could stand to put in more than just a token effort. but it is what it is, and we already know how much he’ll come to regret it

and meanwhile Baby Shouto has frozen his sleep bubble with his quirk lmao. so I guess his quirk did come in early. that’s a recipe for chaos right there

once again Shouto is ruining every single dramatic panel in this flashback

this was so dark and intense... and then I spotted the lil bubs in the corner. Horikoshi please control yourself

“some hero you are, running away” and then all of a sudden, “FIVE YEARS LATER” lol what. OKAY THEN

(ETA: love the confirmation that eight-year-old Natsu comes from the Iida school of puberty and is basically a fully grown man, and meanwhile Touya comes from the hobbit school of puberty and has been perpetually eight for the past five years.)

“HEY BIG BRO WANNA COME RECREATE AN ICONIC FLASHBACK SCENE WITH US. WE’VE GOT THE SOCCER BALL RIGHT HERE, BUT HURRY UP OR WE’LL BE TOO LATE FOR SHOUTO TO WALK ON BY AND STOP TO LOOK”

lol and that’s literally the next three panels. but Horikoshi did add this extra bit after Endeavor starts to drag Shouto away

seriously Enji what the hell did you expect was going to happen here. “Touya went nuts and tried to kill his little brother out of jealousy, so let’s make it clearer than ever that Shouto is the important child and all the other children are just rejects. this will definitely not make the problem 100x worse, and will surely lead to Touya giving up and living a happy life, having been emotionally abandoned by the person he admired more than anyone.” good for you pal you figured it all out. no need for that plan b, “we all just go to therapy”

anyway so he’s telling Shouto he can’t play because he needs more endurance training. and meanwhile Touya’s patented Todoroki Drama Genes are going through puberty as well

definitely the face of a happy, emotionally stable child who’s not still plotting to murder his younger brother in his sleep

“WELL ACTUALLY MAKESTE” lol I stand corrected??

apparently during the five year interim Touya actually stopped blaming Shouto and realized Enji was the one at fault. good for him! a bit inconsistent, given what we know happens later, but I assume we’ll get to that in good time

anyway. “yeah man I agree that dad sucks, but it’s the middle of the night and I’m only eight and you’ve been monologuing for the past two hours bro”

LMAO

the manga is making my jokes for me, only better. fine then

looks like someone’s still miffed about that disagreement he had with his baby sister back when she was like four

“Fuyu doesn’t get properly riled up like I want her to so ranting to her is annoying.” okay but having been in Fuyu’s shoes, it really is just a different way of coping, and I can guarantee she’s not as fine with the whole situation as Touya might think. but making your peace with something is often a decision that’s made for emotional self-preservation reasons. and I sure as hell don’t fault her for trying to shut out a situation that she had no control over, and trying to make the best of it, and scrape together as normal a childhood as she could manage

and now in Touya’s defense as well, that is of course easier said than done, and I’m sure if there was a “push this button and instantly get over all of the trauma in your life” switch readily available for Touya then he would have pushed it too. unfortunately it’s not always that simple

so now Rei is pleading with Touya not to go train up on his little emo hill again, but it doesn’t seem like much has changed since he was eight

I don’t think he gives two figs about being a hero; he just wants his father to look at him again with pride. fucking hell, stop doing this to me you damn Todorokis

guh, they keep telling him the same thing over and over again

even if we hadn’t already known he was gonna go melt his jawbone off soon, I wouldn’t have expected a line like that to go over well

yep. fuck

that Todoroki puberty angst, though. nothing else quite like it

“you have a part in this too, Mom” ooooooh man

okay but look, he’s not entirely wrong. like, I’m not saying any of this is Rei’s fault at all! she’s in an impossible situation where she’s afraid to stand up to Enji (who by this point has shown that he’s willing to physically attack her if things get too heated, which is terrifying), and doesn’t really have anywhere to turn for support. her parents aren’t helping much if at all, and Japan in general is just a terrible country to be in when you’re in a domestic abuse situation. everyone’s expected to put on a brave face and deal with their problems all on their own in private. Rei is basically completely isolated at this point, and she doesn’t know what else to do, and so she’s just trying to keep the situation as stable as possible for the kids

but on the other hand, “for the kids” is also where that argument starts to break down a bit, because at this point Shouto is also being physically abused by his father, and the other kids are continuing to be neglected (emotionally if not physically), as they have been for years. so the situation really isn’t stable at all for them. and as a kid, what you end up learning in that type of situation is that you can’t rely on either parent. not the abusive one, certainly, but also not the other one who can’t protect you from any of it. even if they love you and they’re trying, they’re just as helpless as you. Rei is struggling to deal with all of this with one hand tied behind her back, and I get it, and I’m not blaming her at all. but all the same, particularly given that she’s (understandably) putting almost all her focus on Shouto, the end result is that the other kids have basically been left to fend for themselves

so yeah! a shitty situation all around. and one of those cases where it’s not really anyone’s fault (aside from Enji’s), but I can understand the resentment Touya is feeling all the same. and I’m so glad Horikoshi is acknowledging this, because it’s something I probably would have been too uncomfortable to bring up otherwise. as it is it’s still an incredibly heavy subject, and one that I probably have too many personal feelings about

anyway, so once again the whole “we’ll try talking to him and then just shrug our shoulders when it doesn’t work” parenting strategy doesn’t really pan out for the Todoroki fam

sob this boy is Anakin Skywalkering before our very eyes. all that’s missing is AFO to come and start whispering in his ear. any minute now...

“anyway so then he got taller and his fire changed from red to blue”

guess we’re getting pretty close then huh. this is the part of the flashback that I really don’t want to see, but also unfortunately the part that I’m most curious about :/

oh for fuck’s --

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN IGNORING HIM FOR FIVE YEARS DIDN’T ACTUALLY DO ANYTHING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM” sob. back to the drawing board I guess

I thought he got taller, why is he still only like a third of Enji’s height here

oh fuck me these are armor-piercing feels. this is the heavy artillery right here

ENJI I’M BEGGING YOU PLEASE STOP AND THINK FOR ONE MOMENT IN YOUR LIFE BEFORE DOING SOMETHING YOU’LL REGRET FOR THE REST OF ALL TIME. your child just told you that he still thinks beating All Might is the only thing you care about, and that he believes his existence is a mistake unless he finds some way of doing that for you. please stop for a moment to contemplate that and choose your next words with care and grace and oh who the hell am I kidding

-- OR WE COULD JUST BLAME REI

go on and blame everyone but yourself then!! that’s a great solution!! jesus christ man I know this is Endeavor at his literal worst but still this is fucking hard to watch

POOR BABY SHOUTO IS YELLING AT HIS DAD NOT TO HIT HIS MOMMY THIS LITTLE BRAVE BOY NEEDS SO MANY HUGS OH MY GOD

AND MEANWHILE THE OTHERS ARE HUDDLED IN THE NEXT ROOM TRYING NOT TO CRY AH FUCK

(ETA: Fuyu covering Natsu’s ears cuts RIGHT TO THE CORE OF ME. Horikoshi if you’re really not gonna get these kids some therapy then at least consider giving your readers some. what is this.)

you know it’s bad when you’re starting to think the part where the kid burns to death might actually be a less traumatic thing to cut to right now

holy shit, actual Rei thoughts

“I was the one who ultimately made that choice” well there we go, wonder if that’ll put that whole argument to bed at last. I doubt it, but you never know. actually who am I kidding it’s not gonna settle jack shit lol

oh thank god, they decided it was getting too intense and cut away back to the present to narrate this next (final?) part

get ready to cue up that Alicia Keys. THIS BOY IS ON FIREEEEEEE

yeah I think that’s one thing we can mostly all agree on. neither of them had any clue what the fuck they were doing pretty much at any point. though I will say that the hypocrisy of him being all “WHY DIDN’T YOU STOP HIM” followed by him IMMEDIATELY DOING THE EXACT SAME THING is a bit rich

(ETA: and he still has this problem, doesn’t he? he froze up when Ending snatched Natsuo, and again when Dabi was attacking Shouto. he’s so afraid of doing the wrong thing that he ends up not doing anything, which of course is exactly what led to Touya’s death. damn Enji I guess you’ve still got some additional character development to unlock.)

and of course neither of them could possibly have known how badly it was going to turn out. like, the consequences here were WAY disproportionate even for the shittiest of parenting. no one expects “I didn’t know how to talk to my son” to snowball into “my son burned to death and then somehow came back as a villain and murdered thirty people”

ohhhhhhhh fuck me

LITERALLY INCINERATED THE ENTIRE HILLSIDE. fuck. and I am so not ready for the scene of Enji finding the remains of his jawbone afterwards. at least we were spared anything super-graphic (for now at least)

I feel like the timeline here is off, btw?? wasn’t Touya’s death supposed to happen after Rei got hospitalized? this might be the first actual retcon of the entire flashback. although I think it makes more sense this way tbh

I do appreciate that ten years later Enji is finally reflecting on the fact that if he’d just given up his stupid obsession he could have stopped his family from crumbling apart. that probably sounds sarcastic as fuck, but it’s not. there are countless jerks out there who would have still managed to find a way to blame literally everyone and everything under the sun except for themselves. at least he finally figured out how to take responsibility, even if it came too late to stop his son from dying and being radicalized into a villain terrorist organization

and speaking of, it seems to me we’re missing a third and final part to this little tale of woe, and one which only Touya himself will be able to shed any light on. so we’ll see how that goes

oh man seeing the other kids blaming themselves even though none of it was their fault hits hard af. Rei wasn’t kidding when she said they’d been bearing that burden of guilt far longer than Enji

SHOUTO I SWEAR TO GOD IF THE NEXT PANEL IS YOU APOLOGIZING FOR BEING BORN, I WILL... WELL I’LL BE VERY SAD, I GUESS. SO DON’T DO IT

oh good he’s just being quiet. good. it absolutely is not your fault lil bean. it’s not theirs either, but feeling guilty about things that aren’t your fault is a time-honored shounen tradition

goddammit I braced myself for the angsty Shouto panel a page too early. gotta do it all over again now lol. okay here goes

;_;

well well well would you look at that

imagine that. talking things out with your child before they make a rash decision. looks like the Todorokis’ parenting skills are finally leveling up

OH MY GOD

holy shit. this is the most quintessential moment of father/son Todoroki bonding in the entire series. for me it even tops the “nice scar” scene lol. Enji sobbing at the fact that he still has a chance to set things right. and Shouto offering his hand in what is actually the most mature and selfless gesture I’ve ever seen, and being all “we’ll stop him together” to his dad who he hates, but also doesn’t really entirely hate anymore. and all of that is incredibly moving... BUT ALSO HE STILL REFUSES TO MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH HIM AND HE WOULD LIKE HIM TO STOP BEING SO FUCKING DRAMATIC ALREADY IF YOU DON’T MIND. “WHEN YOU’RE DONE CRYING...” fkjldsk

OH MY FUCKING LORD

(ETA: wouldn’t be a Todoroki drama fest if there wasn’t somebody listening in on the whole thing in secret just around the corner lmao.)

“you think we should have waited somewhere else?” “yeah, probably.” “are you feeling a lot of secondhand embarrassment too?” “god, you have no idea.” STFU HAWKS IT’S NOT EMBARASSING TO BE MOVED TO TEARS BY YOUR FAMILY ALL COMING TOGETHER IN YOUR DARKEST HOUR TO GIVE YOU HOPE THAT YOU PROBABLY DON’T DESERVE BUT ARE NONETHELESS INDESCRIBABLY GRATEFUL FOR

and anyway you chose these guys as your found family, bucko. too late to back out now. next time go get yourself adopted by the Iidas then

AND MEANWHILE NO WORD ON THE WHOLE “HOW DID A THIRTEEN-YEAR-OLD SURVIVE A FIRE THAT COVERED HIS BODY WITH HORRIFIC SCARS AND MELTED HIS JAW OFF, AND HOW DID HE SOMEHOW THEN MANAGE TO GO INTO HIDING FOR TEN WHOLE YEARS, AND WHAT HAPPENED IN THAT INTERIM TO CHANGE HIS GOAL FROM ‘SURPASS ALL MIGHT TO IMPRESS MY DAD’ TO ‘KILL ALL HEROES TO MAKE MY DAD SUFFER’.” as if we don’t know the answer to that. but still, would it kill Horikoshi to just confirm AFO’s involvement in all of this already. at this point it’s basically just a formality

so here’s hoping next week we’ll either get that, or more Hawks action, or (DARE I EVEN SUGGEST, I’M AFRAID TO JINX IT) finally cut back to Bakugou and Deku and All Might omg. either way I’m hyped

[terapsina]

9. What’s your favorite line(s) or scene(s) that you have written?

Okay, I do have a few. Let's see. Spoilers for the contents of my fics I guess (no one cares, but I thought I should mention it).

From She's Come Undone and Set Free:

I really loved writing Elena's rage and thirst to make Damon pay for hurting Caroline okay?

“No,” Elena said, voice sharp as the daggers she had driven through the chests of more than one Mikaelson, sharp enough it would cut the eldest Salvatore in half. “I’m not letting him get away with it that easy, he’s going to live, because I’m going to make him regret the day he decided to touch either one of us.”

She turned around and locked eyes with Rebekah to make one final point, “So we will go to New Orleans, I will break my sire bond to Damon, but you will tell Elijah nothing about this, you will tell Klaus nothing about this. He’s ours.”

Another scene I really liked was Caroline grappling with the trauma that has been pushed to the surface because someone else knows now.

She tried to anchor herself to the present. Damon would never touch her again, she wasn’t the weak little Caroline who fell for the first set of pretty eyes that showed interest. The human girl, who didn’t know anything about anything and couldn’t protect herself.

She was badass vampire Caroline Forbes and none of this could ever break her.

Most days she believed it, today it took all of her strength not to shrivel into that powerless girl she'd once been not that long ago at all.

And Caroline getting to actually finally truly make Damon pay for what he'd done to her.

So she grabbed blindly for something, anything that would make him pay for all the things he’d stolen from her, all the things she’d had to fight tooth and nail to get back. Like her ability to trust. Like not flinching when she kissed Matt, and then Tyler, and then- well, whoever it was she decided she wanted to kiss. Like smiling and meaning it. Her hand found something sharp and pointy and feeling a sickly sort of exhilaration she stabbed it into his lower abdomen.

A long-carried impulse she didn't have to suppress anymore.

It didn’t make her feel better to hear his half-smothered scream, not really, nothing could ever make it better. But it did give her a moment of something like calm.

It was good enough.

And then there's me just being a shallow romantic but I really enjoyed writing the Elejah tension here. I think I did good 😏

She raised her head to look Elijah in the eye and couldn't help taking note of the familiarity of the angle of her raised chin. His eyes darkened before he flicked them away in something like self-preservation.

From 5 Times The Doctor Talked About River Song With Graham (+1 Time The Fam Finally Met Her)

Letting Thirteen drop her always cheerful and hopeful mask because Graham's question stings? I'm proud of the little moment.

“Did you ever try to-”

“What? Change it? Save her? Go back and make sure she never died there? Take her place?” She glares at him and for a fraction of a moment she looks her age, millennia old and furious and terrifying beyond reason, and for that one moment Graham is almost scared of her. And then she blinks, her gaze losing it’s terrible intensity, and he’s not even sure that he didn’t imagine it. “She would never have forgiven me. And- and her timeline is complicated, even if I tried to- there’s a very good chance if I did it that I’d be erasing her from the universe entirely.”

---------

From 5 Times Monica and Her Mom Have Difficult Conversations About Auntie Carol (+1 Time She Plans A Parent Trap With Her Skrull Friend)

Another case of the romantic in me making me love a scene I've written. Plus I love the wisdom of kids, where they make complicated things simple.

“You’re supposed to say it back.” Monica says, losing her patience. It’s been happening for months now, this weird thing where they almost say something and then never actually do.

“We’ve talked about this, Monica.” Mom says, placing her stack of dishes in the sink and then taking the ones from Monica.

“No. you said that Auntie Carol had to figure it out on her own. I think she’s figured it out.” Monica says back and then, perhaps rather unwisely, actually says the thing that’s been hiding in her mind for a while now. “I think you’re just scared.” 

---------

From One Ring to Ruin It All (Not On Henry's Watch)

If I got a nickel for every time I wrote a fic about a precocious kid trying to make their moms stop being stupid and admit that they love each other already I'd have two nickels but it's weird that I did it twice.

Anyway, I loved writing this moment for Henry.

 “I know you love her, Mom. Really love her. And you need to tell her because- because you don’t have time to wait anymore.”

And then he pushed his hand into his pocket and pulled out the little silver ring with a diamond centerpiece. It would actually be kind of pretty if its sight didn’t pull his insides into a knot.

“What-”

“I found it in Hook’s coat,”
