Hey, I want to ask you something because I'm in somewhat of an impasse. It's about magical girl fashion. To start at the beginning, I'm planning to design magical girl costumes/clothing for characters from a piece of media. My main struggle is, how to make the costumes visibly a magical form while also retaining its practicality. These characters move around a lot during battle and in general, and even the ones who use ranged weaponry do get to have their one-on-one fight occasionally when fighting enemies. So how do I design a magical girl costume, without sacrificing personality and 'fanciness', so to speak...while also being practical so that there'd be few things for an enemy to potentially grab or things to get stuck somewhere?

The key is always verisimilitude in movement and weight. You don't have to be perfectly grounded in what's practical for the form of combat your character takes, you just have to make something that seems like it at least wouldn't get in their way and which compliments them stylistically.

For a concrete exercise recommendation I give you this: draw your characters in different action poses, with as much range of motion as their fighting style allows. Put the clothes and hair on them. Now, if you find an element in the design that seems to be impractical, ask yourself before deleting it "how much and how consistently can I cheat the physics of this element to make it work with this fighting style?".

Take Batman's cape for example. In real life that would be impractical as all hell (Edna Mode's rant and all), especially since Batman primarily uses martial arts, but the illustrators and animators "cheat" by making it flow in a way that doesn't get in the way of him throwing punches and kicks. If Batman is fighting mano a mano the cape stays neatly behind his back and only the bottom moves a bit without ever turning front. Enemies conveniently avoid grabbing him by it and on the off chance they go for that option then he'll overpower them and use their grip against them. If he's dodging or stalking then suddenly the material is more floaty or almost liquid. If he does a big dramatic jump then the cape will perfectly retain its wing shape mid air for as long as it's needed to really imprint the fact that yes, indeed, he does look like a bat. What's important is that you're never really asking yourself how much Batman's cape weights, even if you understand that it's not realistic. You know that the cape will be more stiff around his torso and shoulders and more loose at the bottom, you get how those differences interact to make the whole, and you also get that sometimes the whole will become a bit stiffer if it's for the sake of maintaining a cool pose. So as long as the cape moves consistently with that in mind no one will give a fuck that it doesn't snag on everything around it.

However, this also means that there's a limit to how acrobatically Batman moves, unlike the robins, because there are only so many ways you can stylize that movement before you break the verisimilitude of the physics involved. Can Batman do a cartwheel with a cape that moves like that? Yeah, sometimes, but to keep the stylization consistent the cape would need to move so slow that it would strain suspension of disbelief for him to do so all the time instead of dodging normally.

That's the "problem" (quotes because it is a matter of personal taste) I have with most modern Precure outfits. Good or bad, the dresses are so charged and the hairstyles so big that the animators can't really move those elements in a way that compliments their fighting style of big jumps, punches and kicks. You try to pose them for a generic jab and you have to contend with both their massive skirts not getting in the way of their stance and their hair not whipping around in a way that would unbalance them, and the result ends up feeling way too artificial because everything has to remain unnaturally frozen in place for it to work. Oops!

But ok, those are practical concerns, what about choosing the stylization itself? Well, movement can still help us a lot on that area.

Let me be predictable as I turn your eyes towards the Holy Quintet once more. First let's focus on Sayaka Miki, who also has an overdramatic cape.

As we can see in this gif above, Sayaka's cape is constantly flaming, not only in the sense of how it moves but in the shape it most consistently retains, always coming from the focalized point of her neck. This loose application of physics makes it move wherever it would help her silhouette look more impactful aided by the short hair not presenting the usual competition that would be present on other magical girls (looking at you Cure Sky), although of course it can stay still and quietly cascading when it's stylish. But even beyond that the movement of the cape matches a consistent motif in how Sayaka moves within her fighting style and what that means in the context of her aesthetic. If you rewatch the show or most of her transformation sequences you'll notice that Sayaka tends to swoop into to or dive into the action. Of the Holy Quintet she's the one who seems to run the fastest and usually in a straight line, because that's what she is: heroic and straightforward.

Now let's make a broader comparison with the 5 members of the team.

Naoko Yamada from Kyoto Animation fame has said that you can tell a lot about a girl from her legs and in this case she's right. Starting from the left, Kyoko has thigh-highs and pirate boots that cinch below the knee, and along her skirt her legs are framed by her long-coat. Her weapon is a spear, a weapon that requires a stance that must be solid but still quick enough to shift, so the weight of her outfit is focused downwards while her shoulders are exposed for mobility but her arms and especially her wrists are protected, and her big ponytail balances the whole thing. Sayaka runs fast and she sword fights, so she's covered in most of the same areas as Kyoko since she needs a similar balance of stance and mobility, but the weight is put more around her torso so she can run more freely and the cape frames her arms instead of her legs, because her sword serves mostly to slash and so her arms will move more stiffly than Kyoko's. It's another genius way to show they're foils.

Mami has very long, stylish guns and uses her ribbons as vines to move around. Stance also matters in her case, but not in the same way as the previous two. She doesn't need to keep standing on her feet, she needs to move around more freely and even crouch or kneel at times, so her boots are very form-fitting, but there's still some ease and looseness with her absolute territory. And since pointing a gun requires a stable grip and quick reflexes on the fingers her arms are heavier and her gloves are finger-less. But beyond all of those practical concerns you'll notice that she's very very fond of twirling around, whether standing on the ground or in mid-jump, so it's important to her that her skirt has that furls and unfurls like a blossoming flower.

Homura's legs are very highlighted. Unlike Mami who jumps around in her loose skirt doing somersaults an adds unnecessary frills to her movements Homura is efficient. Precise. Practically a rectangle. Her stocking-boots protect her whole legs and keep them compressed and strong without sacrificing much mobility were it not for her very high and thin stilettos. There's a limit to how quick she can run in those things before making her run cycle look kinda stupid, so instead her focus is to do as much as she can with the least amount of movements possible. She elegantly falls feet-first and poses into action, her hair moving most of all in a similar manner to Sayaka's cape. When she's Moemura, however, her braids flop clumsily like oversized ears on a puppy. She'll look good with a big gun like Mami since her silhouette is so subdued, but since her specialty are bombs and short guns her uniform calls more attention to her hands.

And last but not least we have Madoka. Constantly perched on her rounded tippy-toes due to her high heels, with bunched up shoulders and dainty gloves that call attention to her wrists. Her outfit is designed to highlight her Girly Run. Kyoko flails her arms, Sayaka dives, Mami twirls, Homura glides and Madoka bounces around, hence her buoyant tutu. But she's also an archer. Now, would a real archer wear those dainty, frilly, white tea-time gloves? Haha, no. But that doesn't change the fact that gloves are a useful thing for an archer to wear. It's credible enough and it fits her style, so why not add it?

Please note however that I'm not saying the Holy Quintet's outfits are the only way to handle their respective fighting and movement styles. Rather, I'm trying to teach you how the elements they use compliment them so you can analyze what you want to achieve and start looking for solutions from there. Here, let's make a comparison between characters with the same core idea and what the subtle differences in their executions tell us about them.

Now, why would two catgirl magical girls both wear round-toed, tight boots that highlight their knees? Well, because cat's hind legs are one big feet up to the knee is why. And if you're gonna stand in all fours then might as well add some gloves for protection. Then add a puffy skirt for bounce and dessert theming and voilá, jumpy acrobatic cat. If anything, however, I'd say Mew Ichigo's fit is better movility-wise, because her bob is lighter and less obstructive, her skirt and boots allow for more range of motion, and her gloves look thicker and more resistant. But both work well for their purposes, it's just that Ichigo is built more around the agility of a cat and Macaron around its elegance.

Then we have Cat Noir, who has 3 ways of moving: his acrobatics -similar to Ichigo-, his bo-staff, and his cataclysm. Notice that his joints stick out from his otherwise form-fitting literal catsuit. This is because he puts even more of his weight into those than the previous two. Ichigo mostly jumps catlike with her legs straight, but Chat crouches and stalks and climbs and slashes with his claws, and sometimes I think he even uses his bo-staff to fence like a rapier. He may be the most practical out of the 3, but on the other hand notice that his feet seem the heaviest both because of how highlighted they are and because the boots seem steel-toed. Chat can contort into positions the other two won't, but he'll likely do less somersault twirls than them because it feels like his feet are too heavy for that. If his tail belt was more alive like an actual tail, however, we might have a different story, because that would provide a counterbalance to the heaviness of the shoes and it could move in a similar way to a skirt.

One last example and I'll be over.

So, I watched The Mandalorian (pirated so that Disney can't legally kill my spouse), and at the end of the first season they give the main character a jet pack. Now, it's important to this character that he wears a long cape because he's brooding and questant and mysterious but with a strict code of conduct and so his pastiche of archetypes includes looking like a crusader knight. So you'd think that getting a jetpack would make him ditch the cape since it's a fire hazard, but no, not quite. Instead he simply gathers it over one of his shoulders, and since the flame of the jetpack is small, so long as the end of the cape doesn't move around to wildly you barely notice that it's there at all. Is it improbable that the whole thing doesn't catch fire? Absolutely. Does it work anyways? Yes!

In conclusion? Find ways to cheat physics. But find them! Don't just stare at your first draft expecting it to do the work for you!

[humblefryingpan]

I feel like so many shows make the worst people the main character and rely on people rooting for them just bc they're the main character

(This is a long ass really bitchy post about lots of fandoms I'm in sorry in advance if you choose to read this. Also these are just my opinions, please don't be mad at me 😅)

Once upon a time - Emma Swan screws Regina over billions of times (if you put up your child for a closed adoption, that means you can't go steal him back because his new mum is a bit mean to you??) but whenever Regina is an asshole back (or a lot of the time when she didn't do anything) she's the "evil character"

How I met your mother - Ted Mosby is full of himself, never developed as a character and doesn't really care about any of his friends feelings.

Batman - Bruce himself. What the fuck, why does he treat his kids like that??? Tim's 16th birthday? In some older comics he punched Dick? Also he's a ✨billionaire✨ in a city that's such a mess and never tried to help with that (to my knowledge)

Heathers - Veronica is a bad person that acts like she's amazing. No one in this is really meant to be a fully good person though so moving on.

Hazbin Hotel - I know I'm meant to root for Charlie's dream but holy shit can she stay out of other people's business for once? Her "rehabilitation" is peer pressure from an adult woman who acts like she's 12

Miraculous Ladybug - Marinette is a literal stalker. She's such a an awful person and I swear every season I've watched she's got worse. Just because you're a "hero" doesn't mean your life is more important than someone else's

Most Alice Osman books - Angel from IWBFT, Francis from radio silence, I forgot her name because I didn't get that far in but the girl from loveless, all drive me crazy. They're so self centered (Francis sees someone crying and immediately makes it about her?)

Also Ted from the lorax (self centered and a bit creepy), Harry Potter (billionare wizard chad), Mirabel from encanto (self centered and victim complex) and most anime protagonists

And there are a bunch of shows where the asshole main characters are intentional they still get so much more development than these people (blitz from Helluva boss, the main character in doki doki literature club, etc)

[rel312]

Holy shit

And of course she has the butterfly miraculous, I mean we all knew she would but damn

Umm… WHAT was that????

I am incapable of coherent thoughts right now that was INSANE

[starry-bi-sky]

they SO dance together. it's so sweet and sooo romantic. They're both just up in the clouds, lost in each other's eyes. They would be up there for hours if they lose track of time. Danny figures out how to make a speaker or his phone capable of withstanding the high altitude. they are in love your honor <3

AND yesss I agree Danny would sing that to Damian. Caleb Hyles is a good choice! I usually hc his voice sounding kinda like Hozier (w/o the Irish accent), a nice baritone range. He's very Dinner & Diatribes/Too Sweet/Nina Cried Power/Blood Upon The Snow-coded.

Danny tried so hard to keep Damian's illness a secret. Which, honestly probably wasn't the smartest idea, but he was fourteen and dealing with his own very-fresh trauma, uncontrollable powers, and injuries. So, can't really hold it against him. Fortune (if you could call it that) was on his side in that he got to skip school for the days Damian was ill.

Dames is sooo smol as Wisp. liddol babey man. He doesn't actually help in ghost fights, even at six years old. Danny absolutely forbids it, and there's very little Dames can do about it on account of his age and Time Out Time. Danny's Grabby Scarves have come WELL in handy before. He comes with him on patrols but like, if they come across any actual hostile ghosts, Wisp is instructed to hide or stay out of range of the fight.

Also since he's also a halfa, he's also a potential target for Skulker. Keyword: potential. The first time Skulker decides to go after the teenier ghost-child is also his last. Danny flew into a blind rage and completely tore his mech-suit apart into unsalvageable hunks, and then threatened to swallow Skulker whole if he ever went after Wisp again. Ghost cannibalism? its more likely than you think. It's an effective deterrent.

It's very quickly apparent to... all of the ghosts, tbh, that you don't touch the Wisp. Will'o is off limits. (Which i forgot to mention is an adorable name for Dames. Instead of green eyes, Damian's ghost eyes are will-o-wisp blue, and he can create little wisps.) Danny calls him a little firefly.

AND. I'm so here for parental Danny. I'm hella weak to that. And this reminds me of smth i thought about bringing up yesterday but forgot/thought about making its own post for my own clone^2. If Dames here is 2 when Danny is 14, then Dames could totally go to a childcare center during the day. The Fenton parents have work and the kids have school, and Damian is far too young to be on his own. So: daycare it is!

This is for me to say: Danny, as the one who actually found/acquired Damian (if we're going by clone^2 canon and saying he fell through a natural portal) makes it his responsibility to make sure Damian gets to the daycare center safely. Jazz has a car so she drives them both to the center, but Danny is the one who actually walks Damian inside, checks him into his room, and does goodbyes.

(Which he's not legally allowed to do -- legal guardians are supposed to do pick up and drop off, and siblings are meant to be over 18 and have permission for it -- but when the center director brings this up, Danny raises his eyebrow and bluntly goes: "You want my parents in here? Everyday?" and that was the end of that conversation. Danny was made the special exception so long as he like, didn't mention it to the authorities.)

Danny? Also? Best cook in the house. Hands down. Because a clone of Bruce being a fantastic cook is incredibly funny to me. Half the shit in the fridge is inedible so Danny's figured out how to either make it edible and how to use the edible stuff to his best advantage. He also found an old fridge in the garage, fixed it up, and jerry-rigged a quick disguise over it so that their parents don't start storing ectoplasm in that one too. So most of their leftovers/fridge food is in the garage fridge instead.

But back to the daycare stuff -- Danny pulls no punches when making sure Dames is getting quality childcare. Dames is enrolled in the same center that Danny and Jazz went to as kids, and Danny suffered from relentless bullying that the staff turned a blind eye to due to his connection with his parents, and he'll be damned if he lets Dames suffer the same fate. Especially since Damian is such a headstrong kid even at 2-3. They made sure he knew enough English before sending him to daycare (since he only knew Arabic at this point), but he still struggles speaking it.

Which is all to say, the first time Danny hears about Damian getting a hard time at daycare and the teacher doing nothing to correct it, he marches straight down to the director's office to complain. He also bluntly states that he'll be checking in with Damian consistently after pickup and checking his stuff -- as per center rules, his things (like his water bottle and backpack) are labelled, and Danny went the extra mile and put his name on his jacket and boots and hats, -- if anything is missing, broken, or damaged, he will be documenting it, and he wants all copies of any incident reports.

The center director says that since Danny isn't the legal guardian, they can't do that, but he pulls the parent card and for a second time, that is the end of that. Danny is pulling no punches. Damian is already having a hard enough time transitioning into his new environment, Danny fucking refuses to let him struggle any more than he already has.

you gotta tell me some of the wisp antics you have in mind. Oh lord, if Danny struggled to control his powers when he first got them, imagine what it'd be like with a two year old with powers too. So many close calls. Canon Danny was initially pr in denial about his powers up until Lunch Lady, but here I imagine he buckles down on it very quickly when he realizes that Damian has a similar powerset to him, and so long as they have these powers, they need to get control of them.

Which results in Damian and Danny developing these little "training" sessions after school which is literally just Danny trying to figure out his powers, and then translating that into a way for Damian to understand and follow along.

There are SO many learning curves, and Damian is two. Twos have like, a three minute attention span. Danny has to develop a way to keep Dames' attention on him long enough for him to learn how to do it. It's a goddamn miracle that Dames didn't reveal his powers at daycare before he understood the concept of "secret keeping" and control. A miracle.

Wisp being such an angry kitten is everything to me <33. He has little fangies and little pointed ears like Phantom, and I haven't thought too much on his ghost form but I picture him (at least at the start, it could change over time) in this little thobe with perhaps intricate, swirly-misty designs up the sides (as a callback to the will o' wisp idea). And like Danny's, his hair is all floaty like he's underwater, with the ends of his curls all wispy. He's a lil will o' wisp :]

unlike his template, who keeps his hair mostly styled up or back, Dames with messy, unkempt curls that look like they're in a good need of a trim. That kinda falls in his face and curls around his ears, but he likes it long that way because it reminds him of Danny. Any suggestion of a hair cut incites an ugly response and a very emphatic "No". He's got these little freckles that are hard to see that he'll eventually grow out of, and he speaks a lot more casually than his template.

He's known he was a clone since the moment he was able to comprehend what a "clone" was. Danny told him, because he doesn't want to do the same thing his parents did and keep something like that from Damian for so long. He also knows that Danny is technically his dad by virtue of their templates being father-and-son.

Which, that was a bit harder to explain, but they got there!

AND I am loving Wisp meeting Robin. I'm picturing it as Batman-Robin duo meeting Phantom-Wisp duo, and Robin is like, ehhh, about 13-ish. Wisp is 7-ish? Regardless, Robin is standing tall and proud beside Batman while Wisp is standing somewhat behind Phantom.

He's not exactly shy, but he's uncertain? He's got his hand curled around Phantom's pantleg, his eyes narrowed in wary uncertainty, before he finally says, somewhat put upon: "I thought you'd be taller." directly at Robin.

The air goes completely still, and then Phantom snorts abruptly, and brings a fist up to his mouth to try and stifle the sound. His shoulders shake with concealed snickering as he rests one hand down onto Wisp's shoulder and affectionately hisses out: "Dames, my boy, you can't say that."

There's laughter through the comms, and Robin looks suitably offended. Batman has this ghost of a smirk on his face. Oh how the tables turn.

Over 900 prompt

Okay I love the Danny is a clone of Batman aus but I've never seen this done.

Danny and Kon dating and Then Danny learning his parents cloned Batman thinking he is a ghost only to find out he isn't and kept Danny as their kid.

Just think of the hilarious reactions

Caue this immediately popped into my head.

Kon: *muffled screaming into Tim's couch*

Tim: ....you good?

Kon: danny is the clone of Batman

Tim: ...

Kon: I'm the clone of Superman

Tim:...

Kon: AND WE ARE DATING!

AO3 tag game

Thank you for the tag @apopcornkernel my love kissing u /p

how many works do you have on ao3?

45 right now!

what's your total ao3 word count?

According to my stats page, 781,604! Holy smokes, Batman!

what fandoms do you write for?

Right now, mainly Heathers, but I've also written for Les Misérables, Derry Girls, Monster High, Miraculous Ladybug, Total Drama, Equestria Girls, and Rainbow High, and have posted some original work on AO3 too (mostly poetry).

what are your top 5 fics by kudos?

mArinette (a Miraculous Ladybug easy A AU)

today I woke up wanting to kiss you (plotless Duncney fluff)

Cute Boys With Short Haircuts (Miraculous Ladybug angsty one-sided identity reveal)

Mistlejoke (Miraculous Ladybug christmas fluff)

Waitin' on the Sunrise (shameless fluffy JDonica porn with plot)

do you respond to comments?

I try to lol. Usually I'll respond in batches because executive dysfunction is The Worst

what is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

Ooh, does original poetry count? Because if so, Kathryn, a midlength poem I wrote about Kathryn Howard the fifth wife of Henry VIII who was beheaded between the ages of 17 and 22. Or maybe these are times that can’t be weathered (and we have never been back there since then), a story about a Miraculous OC discovering Hawkmoth’s identity.

what's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

Personally, I think it’s The Dark Gate, part four of my Les Mis Winx Club AU. The happy ending is really earned and needed.

do you get hate on fics?

Not really since I stopped regularly writing for Miraculous Ladybug. Boy, that was a wild experience. The fandom was really big at the time and it was the post-Season 3 salt era, so Opinions were both abundant and poor in quality.

do you write smut? if so, what kind?

Yes indeed! I was born on the run (but I’ll die holding your hand) and Waitin’ on the Sunrise are both JDonica smut fics that I am very very proud of! They’re… very fluffy. You know that rule about how you see in fandom the stuff that was missing from the source material? Look, I just want my awful blorbos to be happy. And also to bang a lot.

do you write crossovers? what's the craziest one you've written?

Does On Se Sent Comme Par Magie count? It’s really more fusion fic, it’s the characters of Les Mis living out the plot of Winx Club. Look, it just… it made sense in my head, y’know?

have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not as far as I know, and I hope it never happens!

have you ever had a fic translated?

No, but I did write an English translation of a fic I wrote in my native Scots! Never posted it, though.

have you ever co-written a fic before?

I have tried and miserably failed. I just can’t do it, babes.

what's your all time favourite ship?

Probably JDonica. I just… he’d kill for her?? And he does?? Does it get more chewable than that??

what's a WIP you want to finish but sometimes doubt you ever will?

Oh god I haven’t actually written anything for two months. I need to get back to Waitin’ on the Sunrise, The Last Faery on Earth (Part 5 of OSSCPM), and The Mystery Solvers of Derry (Derry Girls SDMI AU).

what are your writing strengths?

According to my beta reader for OSSCPM, readability, characterisation, and cliffhangers.

what are your writing weaknesses?

I’m really bad for run-on sentences - it’s not my fault, okay, I started reading Les Mis when I was sixteen and impressionable, and Victor Hugo did a number on my psyche that I doubt will ever be reversed because unfortunately Vicky Huge-ho lives rent-free in my skull and whispers in my ear to just use more semicolons like the whore he is.

thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I’ve written in Scots before, which was fun! I kind of want to do it again, but the Plot Bunnies aren’t cooperating right now.

first fandom you wrote for?

I think. Technically. It was a documentary about Sperm Whales that had a really sad ending that I saw when I was six and I wrote a little book that gave it a happier ending, if that counts? If not, probably Equestria Girls. Although, thank god, my early fic experiments are all stored on a hard drive that will never see the light of day again.

favorite fic you've written?

I was born on the run (but I’ll die holding your hand)!! Fluffy JDonica smut for the win!!

Rose Gold Eyes

read it on AO3 at https://ift.tt/v1wIgLF by Coffee (The_Coffee_Fandom) The rooftops were often silent at night, the streets were where havoc rained.

There is a special someone, whom I care about and love with my whole heart❤️. And they mean the whole world to me. When I look into her eyes. I see the oceans reflection of a cool winter's moon. And her hugs are like the comfort of a warm blanket. She is there for me in the darkest of times, and like a light she brings me out of them. When I first met this person, I knew this person was special. I knew I wanted to be there and be her friend. Care and support this person. She was in a rough patch, and so was I. It worked out really. She wasn't looking for anything, and neither was I. But I grew from just knowing them the first few weeks to being their bestfriend, that led to wanting to know them better. And better led to more...and more and more and more!😂. Late night calls and laughs and chuckles. Miraculous conversation that always involved some sort of reference or topic relating to Batman lol. And by that point I knew. I love her🌹We ofc got together, and she made (makes) me the happiest man. She teaches me alot. About her, life, etc. I learned about the skill and precision of which she draws. How she makes every little line count. I learned about farm work, horses especially. She loves them. I was never particularly fond of them, however I do take a liking to Ms. Wendy;) This girl taught me more about myself as a man, and as a person than I ever knew beforehand. Well into this point we're knee deep in the relationship and we've survived and fought against the odds. TOGETHER. You see, she has been there for me when I've almost died, been sick as a dog, delt with immeasurable struggles and she still manages to grind away and fight every day. Even when it's hard and she is down and out. She gets the fuck back up! She smiles and the flowers bloom. Her hair falls just right in her face, so that you can see and appreciate the little tilt of her head. Her nose scrunched up one day and ever since then I've deemed it "Bunny Nose"😂 She will deny it, but she is truly the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in existence. I don't care if you disagree Tumblr, your opinion is wrong and I will invalidate you!!! Swine!!! Seeing her in my hoodies, wearing my glasses or whatever. Makes me proud, like yes. This person is mine. This person is who I'm with! Seeing her do her makeup in record time (about 15 min probably less) is impressive beyond belief! She helped me with my Michael Myers Cosplay, doing the SFX for the Shotgun Hand from kills and Ends! And she did it. WITH EASE. When she is in the kitchen, she is like a wizard. I swear I think this girl is from the Wizarding world because holy shit she can cook! The way she moves with confidence and elegance. The strength and power she conveys while also being an adorable waifu. The woman practically can man handle me if she wanted too! But she doesn't. She takes care of me. When I was in the ER with my car accident. I was scared and afraid. Alone. But when those curtains slid to the side to reveal her behind them. It was the entrance I was waiting and hoping for. She raced to edge of the Hostpital bed and hugged me. She was there for me. She IS there for me. And I am grateful for my amazing human being. Or gremlin. Waifu. Nerd. Bepis. Robin<3 So in short. There is a special someone. Whom I care alot about. And love, VERY VERY MUCH❤️ @annethewisoblivious #Iloveyou #you're my person #my moon #gahdamyouhot

FRESH MANNA

HOLY GHOST MY SUPERHERO

Psalm 94:16-17

There are so many Marvel superheroes on our screens, from Superman to Aqua-Man, all with varying powers, and abilities. Everyone needs a superhero! Who is your favourite superhero? Superman, Spiderman, batman or others?

As super as they are portrayed to be, they still have some weakness, some character flaw that weakens their ability to perform and make them seek to be recharged, revived, or refreshed.

They come to the rescue when called, still limited to one place at a time. They all need a form of transportation to get to their destination and are seen by everyone but justice is at the heart of all they do.

I like Batman! He has no special powers, just his brain and money to dish out justice.

Holy Ghost! My superhero, superstar, yet not the average, garden variety superhero! You don’t see him with the naked eyes but he’s very much there and he is the righteous judge who is fair in administering justice.

He does not need man-made transport to get him to me, he’s with me always.

In response to the question in our text; Who will rise for me against the evildoers? who will stand for me against the workers of iniquity? Requires only one answer! None other than God! Holy Ghost, our helper and superhero.

We’ve yet to see a superhero die for someone, they will go so far as to try and save the victims, unfortunately, sometimes, not on time for some.

Jesus is the ultimate superhero! He died for us, he’s always arriving in times of need and walks with us unconditionally and continually without fear of our foes.

He doesn’t need a red, black, or green cape, He does not need gravity-defying moves or specially modified vehicles to travel because there is no distance, time, or barrier in him.

One of the titles for the Trinity is EL Gibbor, meaning "mighty God according to Isaiah 9:6," and JEHOVAH GIBBOR MILCHAMAH: The Lord mighty in battle according to Psalm 24:8 which indicates God's power and greatness, making Him supreme and sovereign. He is the gracious and righteous Judge of the world.

From Jeremiah 32:18, we read that his steadfast love is to thousands. A covenant love that is to countless generations, making him the Lord of host, Jehovah Sabaoth (Tsebaoth) according to 1 Samuel 1:3.

Unlike human superheroes, my superhero doesn’t save and leaves one helplessly exposed to the constant attack of the enemies, he equips and empowers us to go to battle as well according to 2 Samuel 22:35 which expresses an attribute of strength in battle with the help of God, our superhero.

The villain uses the weaknesses of the Marvel superheroes to trap them and get away or to foil their rescue plan because they can see them coming while trying to defeat them. After all, they know how they perform.

But how do you fight or defeat an enemy you can’t see? Only with the help of one who is stronger, bigger, and wiser than him and according to 1 Timothy 1:17 our superhero is all these things and more, making him unequivocally undefeatable.

My superhero is King eternal (of the universe, of all ages, reigning for eternity), he’s invisible (no one can see him according to John 1:18) and he is the only God there is according to Deuteronomy 6:4.

You don’t only have to be in trouble to call my superhero, he’s waiting for you to reach out to him, so he can bring justice to all. My superhero! The Triune God: GOD THE FATHER, SON AND HOLY GHOST! SUPERHERO!

PRAYER: O Lord, You are my very present help in trouble, and deliver me from all desperate situations. I ask for Your miraculous intervention in turning my circumstances around in Jesus’ name. Amen.

Shalom

WOMEN OF LIGHT INT. PRAYER MIN.

[rhapsodybenny]

I just had an idea for a Star Wars short story that I really want to write: typical Light-Side versus Dark-Side story, period and characters don't matter. Desert-Planet™ is desperately struggling for food, and village on said planet has a McGuffin both sides need equally desperately, but is somehow the only thing stopping Desert-Planet™ from being utterly demolished to obtain it. Light-Side favors democracy, tries to send provisions to Desert-Planet™ to move balance of opinion in their favor. Dark-Side can't allow them to gain that footing, embargoes Desert-Planet™ to intercept all incoming provisions, and stockpiles them. Then, they try to force the village to give up the McGuffin, essentially saying "Give us the McGuffin, and you shall thrive and feast on your aging bread! Resist us further, and you shall starve, and we will step over your bodies!"

Light-Side then sends Jedi to surgically dissemble the embargoes, and deliver the food to the planet, conveniently landing right next to the village to discover the truth of the McGuffin. One Perfect-Plan-That-Didn't-Go-So-Well-Because-A-Completely-Unforeseen-Sith-Apprentice-Exists™ later, they've gotten onto the main ship, flawlessly disabled several flanks of troopers, used the force to load up many of the food-crates onto a cargo ship, and are confronted by a Sith-With-Insane-New-Powers™. One Saber-Force-Fight™ later (which involved the Sith force-pushing crates at them), the Jedi batten down the hatches, and launch off in the cargo ship towards the atmosphere the ship wasn't designed to handle, pursued by the Sith in a Swankin'-New-Vehicle™. One solitary surviving food-crate is left all alone on the platform.

One Spaceship-Cutscene™ later, the Jedi arrive on the planet conveniently close to the village, the villagers discover the food in a conveniently quick manner, and the Jedi quick-march to the Temple-of-the-McGuffin™, where they discover two things:

1) The Macguffin is a Thing-Of-Solemn-Significance™, and

2) The Sith is waiting for them directly beneath the McGuffin, where the Sith launches into a monologue akin to "Your lovey-wovey treatment of the villagers sickens me. I reached the McGuffin undeterred. It has given me Ultimate-Dark-Side-Powers™. Now you must Die™."

One Epic-Saber-Force-Fight™ later, the Jedi have achieved a Holy-Miraculous-Victory-Batman!™. The MacGuffin is theirs! But permanently tainted by Sith's blackened soul, and completely unusable by the Light-Side. Sealed away to protect the canon, obligatory celebration parade, roll credits.

Epilogue™: Dark-Side army commander and Overlord-Sith™ are standing amidst the wreckage on the loading platform, where the saber fight was. A single intact crate stands above the bodies, burn marks, and rations. They are having a Conversation™.

Out of curiosity, the army-commander opens the crate, and finds inside an enormous number of circular pastries, containing hardened chunks of a sugary dark-brown substance with a bitter aftertaste. He tries one, out of curiosity. He loves the taste.

"Say, these rations are delicious, my lord. Try one?"

The Overlord-Sith™ hesitantly tries one. He is overwhelmed with deliciousness.

"These pastries... please me. I enjoy their taste. What are they?"

The army-commander looks at the side of the crate. "Their designation is 'cookies,' my lord."

"Their quality of make is evident. Perhaps... they can be of use in our recruitment centers."

"How would that be arranged, sir?"

Overlord-Sith™ turns away, musing to himself.

"Join the dark side... We have cookies."

The Superboy Hoodie

AO3

For @ withluvsan (lostlovelis) on AO3

Marinette Dupain-Cheng didn’t expect to find love in Gotham of all places. She definitely didn’t expect to feel more at home in Gotham than she ever had in Paris. But here she was. Wrapped in Tim’s arms as they lay on the couch, watching a movie they’d both seen a million times before. The shrill ringing of Tim’s phone makes him sigh, reaching out and picking it up off the coffee table to answer it.

“Hello?” He says. He’s silent for a few moments before he huffs. “B, I already told you….but I….whatever. See you then.” He huffs, tossing his phone back onto the table and holding her a little tighter. Marinette shifts, turning so that she can see her boyfriend’s face.

“What’s up?” She asks softly, reaching up and gently pushing a strand of his hair out of his eyes. He pouts.

“B needs me at the manor. Some kind of problem that apparently, he couldn’t fix with just Dick.” Tim says. Marinette furrows her eyebrows.

“Is everyone okay?” She asks. He nods.

“Yeah. Hopefully it won’t take too long and I’ll be back early tomorrow.” Tim says. Marinette just smiles at him, knowing that he really did want to stay with her, but also knowing that family came first. She couldn’t blame him. If her family or her team back in Paris needed her, she’d be there in a second. No matter what. She leans forward, kissing him softly before pulling back.

“I love you.” She says. Tim grins, kissing her again before pulling back and sitting up.

“Love you too, M.” He says. She watches as he jumps around, trying to put his converse on while standing on one foot. Marinette snorts as he almost falls, cursing lowly under his breath.

“You good?” She calls. He huffs, but gives her a thumbs up, grabbing his keys before rushing out the door. Marinette hums, trying to decide what she should do with her afternoon now that she was alone.

“Hey Pigtails. Thought bird boy would never leave.” Plagg complains, flying into the room and flopping down onto the couch. Marinette raises an eyebrow at the kwami.

“Why do you insist on calling him bird boy?” She asks. He’d been doing it since Marinette first met Tim a little more than six months ago and she had no clue why he did it. Granted, she also didn’t understand why he still called her Pigtails. She’d stopped wearing Pigtails (as both Ladybug and Marinette) years ago. The kwami definitely loved his nicknames. Plagg just laughs.

“You’ll find out one day, Pigtails. And I can’t wait for the chaos that’ll happen because of it.” He sighs, smiling deviously before zipping off to get cheese from her fridge. Marinette shakes her head, starting to stand up when a new design suddenly pops into her head. Quickly picking up her sketchbook, she sketches out the Superboy themed hoodie with a small smile on her face. It would be perfect for Tim. He didn’t talk about heroes and villains a lot, (which was a relief after everything that had happened in Paris), but he did talk about Superboy a lot. She assumed that the hero had saved him on one of his trips to Metropolis and that Tim was now a fan. She finishes the sketch, deciding that was how she’d spend her afternoon. She’d need to go get some fabric and more thread, but then she’d be able to spend the rest of the day making the hoodie for Tim. It’d be a nice surprise, one that he definitely wouldn’t be expecting since they’d already exchanged gifts for their six month anniversary two weeks ago.

“Hey Plagg, wanna come with me to the store?” Marinette calls out, slipping on a pair of shoes and grabbing her purse.

“Can we get more cheese while we’re out?” He asks. Marinette sighs, but nods. Plagg smirks and flies straight into her purse, curling up next to the fabric swatches she had for some reason. Hopefully, he wouldn’t make her regret letting him come with.

---

Honestly, Marinette felt like she should have expected it. After all, she’d been living in Gotham for over six months with no incident (well, none that she was directly involved in). It was only a matter of time before a Rogue decided to strike somewhere that directly impacted her. She was just a bit frustrated that it was cutting into her design time. Especially since she already had the bags of fabric and thread.

“So many possible participants! Hmm, how to pick our next volunteer.” Scarecrow taunts, scanning the small group of people. Marinette looks around at the people surrounding her. There were two boys, probably no older than thirteen; one was glaring at Scarecrow, while the other had a tight grip on his arm. Almost as if he was holding him back. They were right next to a man, probably middle aged, who looked tense. Like he wanted to help, but couldn’t. There was also an older woman, clutching onto bags of groceries, and a woman with two little girls clinging to her. Pursing her lips, Marinette makes a decision (one that she’s sure she’ll regret).

“Typically, volunteers choose to participate. Someone doesn’t choose for them.” She points out, knowing that it was stupid of her to speak up against the man. But she had to. Or, maybe she didn’t have to, but once a hero, always a hero. Even if it meant doing something completely stupid and reckless. Scarecrow laughs, the sound grating on her nerves.

“Speaking up is almost the same as volunteering, girly. Let’s see what really scares you.” He says, a dangerous tinge to his voice. Marinette narrows her eyes at him, refusing to let him see her cry or upset. She’d lived her worst nightmare multiple times. She’d seen her biggest fears come to life and try to kill her more times than she could count. There was no way she was going to let some stupid little serum make her panic. Before she can give a snarky remark, Scarecrow injects her, and the world around her changes. Marinette grits her teeth, trying desperately to not panic. Hawkmoth glances down at her, a wicked smirk on his face.

“Look at the little Bug. All alone with no one to help her. Tell me, do you think Chat Noir screamed when he died?” Hawkmoth taunts. “Will you scream when I kill you?”

“Go to hell.” She hisses out, still clenching tightly to…whatever it was she was trying to hold. Glancing down, she yelps when she realizes she’s holding Chat Noir’s hand. The one attached to his corpse. She lets go and jumps up, trying to get away from his body. It was wrong. That was wrong. The Cure had saved him. Why was he dead again?

“Look at you, dancing around, obviously scared. Not so tough now, are you?” Hawkmoth taunts, his laugh grating on her ears. Marinette whips around, glaring at the man. He starts to move towards her and she moves on instinct. She throws out one hit, then another, swiping her feet underneath his legs when he tries to lunge at her. She reaches for her yoyo to tie him up, panic settling in when she realizes- she doesn’t have it. How does she not have it? She’s Ladybug. Breathing starts to get harder, and Hawkmoth stands, a murderous look on his face. Throwing caution to the wind, she gives him a quick kick below the belt, bringing his head down to connect with her knee. He collapses to the ground, and she backs up, falling to her butt as the panic catches up. She gasps, trying and failing to catch her breath. Black spots dance across her vision, and she thinks she hears Tim just before her world goes dark.

---

Marinette gasps, sitting straight up. She glances around, noting that she was seated in the back of an ambulance, her bag of fabric sitting next to her. She sighs in relief. She’d still be able to make Tim’s hoodie. She yelps as a masked face appears, holding their hands up.

“Sorry, sorry. I was coming to check if you were awake.” The figure- who she recognized as Red Robin- says with a concerned frown. Marinette smiles softly.

“I’m awake. And fine, since I have my fabric.” She jokes. Red Robin’s frown just deepens, glancing over at the bag. “Do I have to stay long?” She asks.

“What?” He asks.

“Here. Do I need to stay long, or can I leave soon? My boyfriend had some kind of emergency so I was going to spend the rest of the day making something special for him but I had to go get fabric and then Scarecrow decided to attack and- well, here we are. I think if I leave soon, I should still have enough time to finish it.” Marinette rambles, waving her arms around.

“Hold on, you were just attacked by a Rogue. And you’re concerned about finishing a gift for your boyfriend?” He asks incredulously. Marinette blushes.

“Well, yeah. The design kinda popped into my head and he won’t be expecting it and sometimes I like to just do things for him. Or make him things. Let him know how much I love and appreciate him, ya know?” She says. Red Robin sighs.

“If you give me a statement, I could probably sneak you outta here before they force you to talk to a bunch of people.” He says. Marinette grins widely.

“Really? That’d be amazing.” She says. She quickly gives him her statement, not that she knew anything more than what had been visible on the security cameras. He closes the tiny notebook he used for her statement before smiling. She’s immediately hit with a sense of déjà vu. Why was his smile so familiar? Shaking away the thoughts, she jumps out of the ambulance, wavering slightly as she regains her balance.

“Thank you, for all of this.” She says. He nods.

“Not a problem, ma’am. Could I- Would it be okay if I escorted you home?” He asks, shifting his weight awkwardly.

“Sure! I mean, you are kinda helping me break out of here.” She teases with a grin. The short walk back to her apartment is practically silent. And very awkward. But still…a design pops into her head. A design for herself to pay homage to her new favorite hero.

---

Marinette is just finishing the stitches on the second hoodie (she worked fast when she was excited, caffeinated, and inspired) when she hears the front door being pushed open.

“M! I’m home!” Tim calls. Marinette grins, tossing a throw blanket on top of the hoodies and rushing to the front door. Tim smiles, and everything feels right with the world. Throwing her arms around his neck, she pulls him down as she stands on her toes, pulling him into a kiss. His hands immediately snake into her hair, playing with the loose strands. She pulls away first, grinning at her boyfriend.

“Everything work out okay with Bruce?” She asks, quirking an eyebrow. Tim nods.

“Yeah, hopefully it’s resolved for a while.” He says with a sigh. She grins, pecking him again quickly before grabbing his hand and tugging him over to the couch. “What’re we doing?” He asks with a laugh.

“Well since you were busy with family stuff today, I thought I’d be busy with designing stuff.” She says, plopping down onto the couch. He frowns.

“I thought you ran out of thread.” He says. She shrugs.

“I went to get more. Now-” She starts to take the throw off of the hoodies, but Tim cuts her off.

“When?” He asks. She frowns.

“Why does it matter, Tim?” She asks, shaking her head.

“Because there was a Rogue attack near your favorite fabric store at like, 2 o’clock. I didn’t even call because I assumed you were home and safe. But if you weren’t-” Tim begins to ramble. Marinette grips his hand tightly, squeezing it as she gives him a reassuring smile.

“I was there, but nothing big happened.” Marinette says, trying to make it sound more calm than it had been. He stares at her, and she swears he sees right through her. She sighs. “Okay, I may have been given a slight dose of fear toxin-”

“Are you okay? Do you have any residual side effects? Why didn’t you call me?” Tim rushes out. Marinette huffs, pouting.

“Because I was fine, mon coeur. No side effects, nothing. I may end up with nightmares again,” She says, thinking about how bad they’d been right after Hawkmoth’s defeat, “but it’s nothing that I can’t handle. Especially with you by my side.” He relaxes, his shoulders slumping slightly.

“I just hate that I couldn’t be there for you. Let you know you weren’t alone.” He says, a distraught look on his face. Marinette gently grabs his chin, turning him to look at her and gives him a smile.

“Tim, you can’t always be right there for me. There’s some things I have to go through without you being right there but that’s okay. That’s just a part of life.” She says. He nods, leaning forward and wrapping his arms around her. Marinette returns the hug, relishing in the warmth of being held by the love of her life. After a few minutes, he pulls back, eyes a little shiny, but otherwise okay.

“So you mentioned designing something?” He says. She grins, nodding rapidly.

“Yes, so, I know how much you like Superboy-” She starts, but he cuts her off.

“What?” He asks, looking shocked.

“Yeah. He’s kind of the only hero you ever mention. I kind of just guessed that he saved you on one of your trips to Metropolis.” She says, raising an eyebrow at his weird behavior. All of the tension in his shoulders dissipates immediately.

“Oh, right.” Tim says.

“Anyway,” She continued, making a note to talk to him about it later. “I decided to make you this!” She says, moving the throw and picking up the hoodie. Tim grins, excitement clear in his eyes.

“This is awesome!” He cheers, jumping up and tugging it on over his t-shirt. Marinette grins, standing to walk around and check the fit of the hoodie. But Tim doesn’t let her get out of his sight before he’s picked her up in a big hug, spinning her around. She throws her head back and laughs at her boyfriend’s silliness. Her laughter only grows when he stumbles and they both collapse onto the ground.

“You’re such a dork.” She snorts, looking down at him. He grins, reaching up and pushing a strand of hair behind her ear.

“But I’m your dork.” He says. His eyes move behind her and furrow at the lump still on the table. “What’s that?” He asks. Marinette grins, jumping up and grabbing the hoodie she’d made herself, slipping it on over her clothes.

“This is my hoodie for my favorite hero.” She says, glancing down at the Red Robin logo on her chest. Tim makes a strangled sound and she looks up, worried, eyebrows furrowed at the blush on his face. “Are you okay?” She asks. He clears his throat, nodding.

“I’m uh, perfect. Why- why Red Robin?” He asks. She grins.

“Because he’s a hero. He’s actually the one who took my statement after the whole fiasco this afternoon.” Marinette says. Tim nods, looking contemplative, until he finally grins.

“We’re Superboy and Red Robin.” He laughs. Marinette grins, wrapping her arms around his neck as he snakes his around her waist.

“It seems we are.” She says, smiling happily. Remembering her déjà vu from earlier, Marinette quickly shoves it back out of her head. That was a problem for later Marinette. Right now, she was happy to just be held by the man she loves.
