Agitation 3.6 Live Reactions

(This is me, writing reactions as I read, because why the fuck not. They're not complete, mature thoughts taken after I sit back and evaluate what I've read. Consider them as such)

“Think of it as a game,” Lisa said, “A high stakes variant of cops and robbers.”

Ooh this bit. I've seen it referenced a lot in the fandom discussions, but never seen the conversation reproduced or redone in fic (probably because if it happens in the AU, it happens so close to the canon version there's no need to rewrite it or anything)

“I think,” I ventured, “That it’s a little closer to real cops and robbers than the schoolyard game.” “No, no. Hear me out. Grown adults running around in costume? Making up code names for themselves? It’s ridiculous, and we know it’s ridiculous, even if we don’t admit it out loud.

ehhhhhhh, I mean... she's not wrong exactly, but it's also not ridiculous because real people are really dying. In RL, if someone went around in a costume with codenames trying to fight crime, then yeah, absolutely, that's ridiculous, even if they made actual progress somehow.

But if that same costumed weirdo could fly, or fart fire or w/e, then it's a lot harder to not take seriously.

Maybe we have some agenda or goals, but at the end of the day, we’re getting our thrills, blowing off steam and living a second life.

yeah, Lisa, no. That's... no.

Then there’s the crazies. The people who are fucked up in the head, maybe dangerous if there’s not something or someone to help keep them in line. The people who take it all too seriously, or those guys you wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of, even if they didn’t have powers. Lung, Oni Lee, Heartbreaker,” she paused. “Bitch.”

Way to add this as an afterthought. Also, like most of the Empire 88 (if not all of it) falls into this category too. I get they've barely been mentioned yet, but Kaisar and Co are definitely crazy and taking it too seriously.

Lisa paused, “Right. But you have to understand, ninety percent of what goes on when you’re in costume? It’s the first group. Adults in costumes playing full contact cops and robbers with fun-as-fuck superpowers and toys.

And people dying, having their property destroyed (and ruining their livelihoods), being crippled or physiologically scarred for life...

Yeah. It's all fun silliness 90% of the time.

(I get that Lisa is selling this to Taylor to convince her that this is all cool, but still, does she actually believe this on some level? I get that her power probably makes her cynical but my god, Tattle-bitch, fuck off)

But what good is having a team if there’s no competition?” “Which is where we come in,” I figured out where she was going. “Exactly. At the end of the day? We’re not doing much harm. Property damage, theft. A few civilians get hurt if they don’t move out of the way fast enough.

Yeah, totally, that's the only way civilians get hurt.

I mean, if all the villains were as nice and soft as the Undersiders, or at least most of them, sure. I don't think Lisa's wrong to an extent, but the Undersiders are very much the minority, and you guys still have the ability to really fucking hurt people.

Are there readers that actually buy this? I buy Taylor buying this to an extent, given her mindset and so forth, rn, though I doubt she 100% buys it, but equally, it sometimes feels like some of the fans actually buy this mindset.

“Compared to the psychos and the monsters out there, it’s almost in the city’s interests to keep us in circulation. Far as I see it, we’re not that much better or worse than the so called good guys. We face more risk at the end of the day, with the possibility of jail time and physical danger, but we get a better payoff. We just took the path that was higher risk, higher reward.”

You are better than most of the alternatives, sure, but while it's true that the heroes would have a lot lower profile without the villains (and if there were no villains the heroes might not stay heroes what with all that conflict urging or w/e of the Shards) but as far as Lisa knows, the heroes could just... you know, use their powers constructively if there weren't villains eating up their time.

So yeah, no.

“I’m not sure,” I said, carefully, “That I buy all that.”

Smart girl

“No? Then why don’t they send people like Über straight to the Birdcage after his trial, like they are with Lung?

That is a stupid question, Lisa. The Birdcage isn't just a catch all for every supervillain. It's a nightmare blackbox you shove the worst (or the alleged worst, anyway) into. It's a "Break Glass In Case of Scion" Box. It's certainly not a place you shove Uber and Leet into unless they cross lines. We don't put people into maximum security prisons just for assault and theft, usually (Which, AFAIK, is all Uber and Leet have done largely - AFAIK, they haven't killed anyone)

Sure, there’s the three strike rule, and he’ll get sent to the Birdcage eventually, but the people in charge have to maintain some plausible deniability.”

Because the US government totally wants villains running around this much for the... merchandising money? Like, there's not trusting the police, the government, etc, and there's... this.

Again, I suspect Lisa doesn't quite believe this, but still.

“But the real evidence to my ‘cops and robbers’ theory,” Lisa continued, “Is the reaction you see when someone crosses the line. You’ve heard about it happening. Someone finds out another cape’s secret identity, goes after the cape’s family. Or a cape wins a fight and decides his downed opponent isn’t in a state to say no if he’s feeling lusty? Word gets around, and the cape community goes after the fucker. Protecting the status quo, keeping the game afloat. Bitter enemies call a truce, everyone bands together, favors get called in and everyone does their damndest to put the asshole down.”

Or, you know, it could be that some people have standards? I mean, I get what you're saying, about protecting the game, the unwritten rules, etc, but equally, like... no? Yeah, when someone crosses a line everyone goes after them because that's like... the whole point of lines.

“Like we do with the Endbringers,” I said. I sheathed my knife. “Holy fuck,” Lisa said, slapping the sides of the steering wheel with her hands. I think if the van had been moving, she would have hit the brakes for emphasis. Traffic was starting to move, though, so she started up the car and put it into gear, “Twice, you bring up the Endbringers in as many minutes. You’re being morbid. What’s going on?”

Because they're the giant fucking elephants in the room for the setting.

It was hard to talk to Lisa, as much as I liked her as a person.

You barely know her, christ Taylor, I know you're affection starved and shit but man you dove headfirst into this.

If I said something, would that give her the puzzle piece she needed to figure me out?

heheheheh, too late.

I was counting on this ruse continuing, whether it was because I enjoyed the temporary companionship of Brian, Lisa and Alec, or because I wanted to get Grue, Tattletale, Regent and Bitch carted off to jail and prove Armsmaster wrong. I was aware how paradoxical those two interests were.

Sooner or later, something will have to give.

She went on, “See, I know you. Believe it or not, I like you. Did from the time I saw you on that roof, opposite Lung. You know how we fear the unknown? Well, I know stuff, that’s my whole thing, and that motherfucker is one of the very few people who can spook me. You, Taylor, stood up to him.”

Taylor "Nah, I'd Win" Hebert

(Does she actually say that in the story, or is that just a fan thing?)

“So this guy or this girl that’s got you down in the dumps? I say fuck them. They don’t know you. They don’t know what you’re capable of.”

This is true. How much does Lisa know about this? God, Lisa's power is gonna suck to work with come fic writing time, balancing what she knows and what she doesn't.

“Who uses words like doldrums, anymore?”

Fair point :rofl:

“In twenty minutes or so, we’re going to be leaving there, tens of thousands of dollars richer, the adrenaline rush of victory pumping through our veins,” Lisa’s voice was barely above a whisper, “Now tell me. Can you visualize that?”

"What this country needs is a short, victorious war to stem the tide of revolution."

-Vyacheslav von Plehve, Russia’s Minister of the Interior, before starting the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905

(I'm not sure if this quote is apocryphal or not, I first stumbled upon it as an epigrah in a sci-fi novel, but it makes the point)

“Liar,” she said. Then she winked at me, “It’s okay. An hour from now, you’ll be rolling in money and laughing about how pessimistic you were. Promise.”

Nice to know Tattletale can be so hilariously wrong.

As I opened the car door and hopped out into the pouring rain, I managed to say the words without choking on them, “Let’s go rob a bank.”

Crime Machine Go BRRR!

Hyper specific complaint here, hi :3

I really don't know if anyone would understand half of what I was saying if it was any other blog but θείτσα μ here have me bear my soul to you I think you'll at least find it entertaining to read?

Maybe I'm biased or was always choosing the wrong genre but as a Greek Kid reading Greek Books in my childhood I was always so disappointed to see the trope "there's no Treasure, the Treasure was the Friends We Made Along The Way :)" because that's just such a cheap cheat on an ending of an adventure genre book

Like as I kid I had personal beef with it. Like, why did authors have to back out on us. Like, "oh yeah y'all went on a three month summer adventure collecting clues and deciphering secret messages but there's no gold at the end of the trail because it's not realistic" FUCK REALISM I WANT TO BE REWARDED FOR MY EMOTIONAL INVESTMENT

And if it was one book it'd be fine BUT THIS TROPE PERSONALLY PLAGUED ME IT WAS EVERYWHERE does anybody have this specific experience or am I losing my mind.

Two titles that come to mind just cause I'm still salty about it are SPOILER ALERT Ο Θησαυρός του Ταϋγέτου and Στο Μυστρά Με Πανσέ��ηνο (has anyone else read those?). Don't get me wrong I don't hate the books. Actually I do love them since I still remember the title and plot since I first read them, it's just... I'd just like to burn them in the τζάκι for leaving me hanging like this. Just mildly salty about it. :/

AND THEN ONE DAY

At some point στο δημοτικό I found a book series (πρέπει να ήταν μεταφρασμένη λογοτεχνία) στην δανειστική βιβλιοθήκη του ΚΔΑΠ που πήγαινα τότε that was the same group of friends (with a few new characters sometimes) going on adventures and unintentionally always falling into life changing adventures. Like I think I vividly remember a dialogue that went like "Oh, this summer let's go somewhere that we won't get involved in a great adventure for a change" and then me laughing because guess what they did. They went in a great adventure (again) and found treasure (again) and holy shit I love this book series. Might be inaccurate because it's been a long time since I last held them but who cares it's the memory that counts.

And it's been haunting me bc I don't remember the title AND I ADORE THESE BOOKS I remembered it randomly and it feels like I've lost part of myself :((((((

...

Thank god I didn't send the ask off immediately after writing it and my last three braincells came together for a miracle.

(Quick note: Moms remember everything and I made the wise decision Να Ρωτήσω Τη Μαμά.... ΚΑΙ ΞΕΡΕΤΕ ΤΙ)

WE REMEMBERED THE TITLE

THE BOOK SERIES WAS CALLED ΟΙ ΠΕΝΤΕ ΦΙΛΟΙ / THE FAMOUS FIVE (i think)

WATCH ME BUY EVERY SINGLE BOOK IN ONE GO AND RECONNECTING WITH A HOLY PART OF MY CHILDHOOD COSTS BE DAMNED

I'M SMILING SO HARD RN OMG IT'S MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE SERIES EVER WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK I CAN HAVE IT AGAIN HOLY SHIT SORRY FOR CURSING SO MUCH BUT I'M SO HAPPY

(This is not a complaint ask anymore as I originally intended it to be but hey sometimes a tiny detail in your life changes while writing something and now you're x100000000 happier this has been a miracle here have it)

Γεια!! Sorry for answering this late, but it's because my inbox is often full.

"there's no Treasure, the Treasure was the Friends We Made Along The Way :)" Oooh my gosh, this is my most behated trope of all time! Just give me the promised treasure, damn it! You can also give me the additional gift of friendship as a surprise but pleaase just give me what you promised in the beginning!

My other issue is that the search for the treasure - which is what attracts you to the book as a kid - is like... 5% of the book, and then it all gets resolved in five minutes in the end. I don't want to hear about the random uncle and the school problems of one's sister. I want the treasure!!! I think such a book for me was Ο θησαυρός της Βαγίας (The Treasure of Vaghia) because I still remember the disappointment.

For some reason I never read Οι πέντε φίλοι but the title was always there, in the Κινητη Βιβλιοθηκη :) Buy them and enjoy them all over again!

howdy howdy howdy, some good words, mostly rambling, one (1) reaction image bc I'm Sad About Jon Constantly All The Time. Content warnings for like, most things in the episode because I'm pulling quotes, and also existential fear (the state of the world rn) because I went on a little extinction ramble.

@a-mag-a-day

Case 9550307 – Wallis Turner. Incident occurred at the North Point prisoner of-war camp, then later the sunken ship Nemesis in late 1942. Statement taken 3rd July 1955 at the Pu Songling Research Centre, Beijing. Committed to tape 9th October 2014. Gertrude Robinson recording.

Jon, I love you, but Gertrude's way of introducing statements is way better. Although she did intentionally leave the archives in disarray so...

Like, I mean, in an ideal world, you'd be able to search for statements by people who appear in them and places and notable things that happen, and then... idk I just, alright like, I want to just, learn how to code so I can make myself a little website and organize the statements and then my little rat brain who just wants to sort things out will finally be appeased

Even if it’s just sleep, just a quiet nothing forever, it’s not like you know enough to be bored, is it?

Fun fact about yours truly, that's one of the parts of death that scares me the most! I cannot handle being bored, it's just... no, I can't do it. And boredom forever? No end in sight? I hope there is an afterlife so that I don't have to deal with that.

Worse than that is just... nothing, just an end, and I don't really like to think about that.

Sergeant once told me it’s no different from killing a chicken back home, but people aren’t chickens, and the idea that war strips us all down to just a body that moves and kills, or falls and dies, makes me feel sick to my stomach.

Fear soup! This is pretty Flesh.

I could feel my pulse quicken, like it wanted to match the tempo, though I’ve no idea why. I should have been confused, scared maybe, and I guess I was, but I could also feel my fingers tap-tap-tapping away to the beat.

Right, alright, The Slaughter and music thing makes sense to me now. It's about the... I called it group project violence? That but serious. I know The Hunt was the mob mentality episode, but like... idk, I'm not sure. Something about the music in these episodes, Jane's song of the Hive, luring you in, entrancing you. The song of the Web, making you dance to its tune. The song of the Slaughter, getting caught up in the rhythm of it all.

There's something there, I can't exactly articulate it.

[...] just before the trumpet began to drift over the waters just a few yards beyond the walls.

woodwinds against trumpets 2023

And when they were lying still and the music stopped and night was quiet again, that’s when I heard the sound that really chilled my blood. All my comrades, my fellow prisoners, cheered. And it wasn’t the cheer of those glad for freedom, it was the sound of bloodlust and cruelty.

the slaughter feels like the least... spooky of all the fears to me. like, of course, there's a lot of war ghosts, and uncontrollable urges to do violence among other things, but the thing about the slaughter really feels like human and stuff. like, all of them are, not necessarily human, but influenced by the fear of mortals -- and probably those weird jellyfish, too -- but the slaughter feels different.

also, may I just say a thing? a few of the entities aren't really made manifest by that thing happening. like, sure, the eye is the fear of being watched -- among many other things -- but you know what really breeds paranoia? not being sure if you're being watched or not. the end is the fear of death, and yet victims of the end are commonly just told when the end will come for them. the slaughter is the fear of violence in a slaughter-y way and not a hunt or desolation-y way, and a lot of the slaughter's fear comes from witnessing the violence, or dreading it.

thus the extinction manifesting wouldn't end the world, because it would be a world without fear -- like maybe it would replace humans with spooky inheritors -- but honestly I think it would be enough just to give us the knowledge, the constant dread that there are people more powerful than us who can end the world with a decision, or trash the environment knowing full well what the consequences are. I think it would be enough to look at the doomsday clock and see that we're 90 seconds to midnight. but make it spooky.

woo! existential fear! hopelessness and helplessness! i know, i know, don't give up, people can cause change, but also I am one (1) tiny little guy.

Leonard was the first to dance. Well, I think of it as a dance, though I don’t know why. He reached over and grabbed another one of the former prisoners, a scrawny guy, I think his name was Milton. He gave a cry of anger that I could never have imagined coming from his gentle, smiling lips even in the head of battle. There was nothing Milton could do. Even malnourished as he was, it was easy for Leonard to snap his arm like a twig, twist his neck until his leg spasmed and his skull started to crack. Even when his victim was clearly dead, he kept beating it, tossing the corpse across the deck with as much ferocity as if it were the most hated man alive. The bloody crew of the Nemesis watched, their eyes riveted and their feet tapping to the music.

First of all, I love the way Jonny writes violence, it feels so visceral, I don't know, just the way he describes it. It's good. 10/10.

Secondly, I've danced in like a group but like a community sort of group not a lot of times, but I have acted, and it feels similar. Like, I don't know. Something about being on stage, the lights almost blinding you, it feels invigorating, it feels like you're being swept up in something. Idk, like that scene in Mama Mia where Sophie meets all three of her dads in one dance, and then passes out.

Yeah idk.

Few wars in my lifetime have reached anywhere the near the heights of fear I suspect this ritual would need, though I did spend some time a while back looking over some details from the Cuban Missile Crisis to no avail.

Nah, mate, the cold war's a feast for the extinction! (however, soup)

Anyway, point is, you can probably discount The Slaughter. It had its chance.

I forgot these tapes were supposed to be for her successor.

oh... hmnr. and they didn't help... this one told them outright how to stop The Unknowing, there was probably one going into more detail about it. The tape she intended the Archivist to hear as soon as they got the job... well, we all know what happened to that.

That's just... sad to me.

I feel like I’m on a deadline, like I’m running out time, somehow. And I don’t even know where to go, what to look for, or—

THIS! THIS IS WHAT SEASON 4 FEELS LIKE! Weirdly stressful, despite not clearly having a... point, something to... do, it feels like that feeling you get when you're so... bored or understimulated that you're just pacing around trying to find something to do, and you can't find anything to do! And it's like, aaaaa.

That's season 4.

(oh, also, for the last time the watcher's crown was in the past, the mass ritual doesn't have a canon name and when asked, Jonny tentatively said "The Magnus Archives" however of course that's word of god and the author is dead so take it as you will, however please do know that it's not the watcher's crown)

Daisy’s got me listening to The Archers. I hate it. But it feels nice to hate something that can’t hurt me. I don’t know. That’s it, I, I guess. End recording.

[ID: A drawing of someone sitting at a computer crying.]

I'M JUST SAD. "It feels nice to hate something that can't hurt me." HHHHH HES REALLY BEEN THROUGH THE WRINGER HASN'T HE D:

right, uh,

this is over ig.

This is a masterpost linking to the posts explaining my stories and ocs! And I'll give a brief explanation of the stories in this post too. I don't have names for these stories yet. So. Also I don't actually have too much story planned for any of these yet. It's more so basic premises and a couple spefic scenes that I just keep replaying in my head. And I don't plan on like making comics or writing these or anything that, at least definitely not rn, but these are my lil guys and want to share them!

So uh feel free to ask questions about them or whatever. And maybe I'll start making more art of them or something

You can go here if you want to see my Hatchetfield OCs but Hatchetfield isn't actually the only place you'll see them, as 3 of them are also part of another story of mine bc I couldn't help but reuse them ig

Here's the one where those hf ocs are reused. It's about am interdimensional rift opening up and two people from a magical dimension falling into basically ours. Then some mysteries and stuff start happening around town.

How about a classic scenario? Here's one about the apocalypse. Except what if it was also kinda slice of life like? It's the last day of school and now suddenly a teacher and his daughters' summer are going to be spent hiding inside away from zombies... With his ex best friend/ex crush/ex enemy and that guy's current best friend.

You know how I mentioned interdimensional rifts in the first one, well here's one that's basically the opposite, someone from our world falls into a magical world, and then gets dragged into a group of vigilantes dealing with someone's evil uncle.

Want more dimensional travel? BC GUESS FUCKING WHAT! Here's one about bunch of college students that get recruited to work at place where they go to different dimensions and help solve issues

Ok ok let's stop with the dimensional travel... How about time travel instead? This one is where a time traveler's time machine accidentally gets broke and him and the guy broke who his machine get sent into a different time period and now also some kid has to help keep their secret bc she saw them randomly appear out of thin air.

Here's some alternative outfits for a few of my ocs

are you going to come back?

((I keep telling myself im going to, but im not sure. Im especially unhappy with how this blog was written and how it looks at the moment, bc theres a lot of things id Want to change before getting back into rp here, but I have no energy or motivation to do so 😔 my art block from last year is Still ongoing, im still deeply fixated on other fandoms, and VERY recently I had an epiphany of some kind and haven't been able to stop paying attention to the news, bc anxieties about what's happening in Gaza/the West Bank, Sudan, and Chile, and not to mention this next American presidential election, have me reassessing my priorities in life, ykwim?))

((Im still around technically, i wont be deleting this blog or anything, im just in kind of a tough spot, mentally+emotionally+physically, and that makes it hard to get reinvested in something like this.))

((There's also the factor of... feeling rather restricted in this community. It's not any particular person or group of ppls fault, people are entitled to feel however they want around fictional subjects and themes, but i know that the types of things that i like to write and rp are dark and mature, and this fandom [despite the Nature of the show itself and the topics it covers] tends to attract a lot of very aggressive, very judgemental people -- as im sure youre all aware 😂 i found some friends here, but even still, a lot of the time i know i Can't get into the kind of stuff i ACTUALLY want to write, because most of the ppl in this community would [at least, way back when,] assume that That kind of writing means I'm a bad, dangerous person who wants to engage with those themes in real life 🙃. Which isn't to say anyone is Wrong for avoiding me if darker themes trigger them, by all means PLEASE block me for your sanity if thats what you have to do!! but when most all of those Exact Themes are LITERALLY, graphically present in the show, now, it's like. Idk man whats going on! Why are you here! if sexually abusive relationships bother these fans so much, then Why are they in THIS fandom of all places instead of somewhere tangibly Safer for their sanity, yk???))

(( i don't know. Maybe im just a brat, but ive always felt a little put out by the Hazbin community online. Its extremely self policing and isolating trying to find people i can feel comfortable talk to about my ideas, so ive kind of... given up and moved on, found a nice group of Freaks to be perverted about the Avatar sequel instead lmao))

((So... idk. I guess we'll see. But im very sorry it may have been wishful thinking when i said id come back. I really, truly meant it at the time -- things just changed 💔, both in me And in the community. And maybe theyll change again, idk!but i Do know there's people in this overarching Hazbin Tumblr RP community who don't like me very much (which is Okay), and I don't want to force myself to walk on eggshells anymore -- so I'm won't💪😎))

((I adored my time here while i was active, whuch it why i wont delete it -- i go back to re read threads all the time! -- but unless there's a group of sexual weirdos developing that i could fall in with AND I can find a way to balance this with the rest of my life, im still gonna be on this indefinite hiatus 💀👍 sorry))

((Btw -- Palestinians are in desperate need of e-SIMs to keep in touch with their loved ones and to organize humanitarian aid within the Gaza strip itself -- if any of you have a few spare dollars, please consider getting involved. I know the news is very quiet rn, especially if you're in America like me, but let me make this very clear; We are. kind of sort of Already IN World War Three. Russia and China and the global south are finally starting to hold the west accountable and the west is failing a shitting its pants about it Spectacularly. The world order is literally shifting. There's not one, but SEVERAL major international conflicts brewing right now, as America is sliding into fascism at break neck speed bc Genocide Joe is finally realizing he's probably not going to get re-elected [on account of all the genocide] on TOP of finally seeing the tangible effects of climate change. South America and Australia are on FIRE. Like NEVER before.))

((Never Again is Now. We could be going over the temperature "tipping point" of the planet BY 2030. now is NOT the time to be wallowing in escapism, no matter how much we desperately need/want it. If there is EVER a time to get involved with the real world and to take a step back from the internet and high stress fandom bullshit, it is NOW. No matter what Side of these issues you stand on, EVERYONE needs to be voting, everyone needs to be paying attention.))

(( if you can't afford esims [no shame, i often can't either, money is tight everywhere], then at the very least get This website open in your tabs. It generates revenue with free Daily clicks, the proceeds of which are all sent to UN organizations -- particularly UNRWA, which is VITAL to maintain not only getting aid INTO Gaza, but also retaining Palestinians legal right to return to their land -- without UNRWA, Isreal can begin to LEGALLY, haphazardly "deport" Palestinians, which would take YEARS to reverse through future court proceedings. Do your part, it only takes a few seconds a day 💪🌱))

((Alright, thats all! Sorry if you wanted a short sweet answer, but ive actually been ruminating on all of this, so thank you for this ask, for giving me a chance to talk about it all. Im happy to see this community thriving in the wake of Season 1, even if im not joining in myself -- you all keep up the great work, and keep having fun with it ❤ let it empower you to explore the value of Charlie's message and think of ways to impliment it in your daily life And on the world at large‼))

Ello! Reading your fics rn and Legend and Wars nicknames Bluebell and Violet are adorable 🥰

One quick question tho

Has Four ever overheard them calling each other Blue and Vio and freaked out over it?

Thank you very much!

And you know, I've been thinking about that since I first write that fic, and I think it's about time I addressed it!

It’s a near thing, not being found out.

When they meet the chain it's while they are one. It's easier to heal from injuries as a whole and after the powerful monsters started popping up in Hyrule they’d been fighting them even before the portal had come to bring them to meet their future companions and brothers. Blue got hurt in the fighting, rather nastily too, so they’d merged to share the weight of the wound.

Fortunately, doing so also decreased the severity, provided the rest of them were in good health.

They were of course, Blue makes sure they eat well and Green ensures that they’re at peak physical condition for someone their height and build. Granted, they aren’t a rolling ball of muscle like some people, but they’re at a point where swinging a forge hammer is only moderately tiring (in the satisfying way) and they can last for hours walking, fighting or forging.

So, of course, when they meet the other heroes, they are one, and they determine to stay that way.

It’s half for kicks and half not. There’s half their world that found out about their splitting and determined it to be a divine blessing, but the other half has determined that they are broken. Fortunately, their father, mother and grandfather all fall into the former category with Zelda and a good portion of the royal court. Unfortunately, it’s a good majority of the common folk who are of the latter idea. So, for the sake of their sanity, they decide to simply avoid finding out where their brothers lie for the time being, at least until they have some context for how such irregularities are treated in such a group.

As it would turn out, such things aren't the most out of place. Twilight turns into a wolf at will after all and they know they’ve sense transformation powers on those masks Time carries and a few of the vet’s rings. Then of course Hyrule ends up revealing he’s half fairy, and then there’s the Incident.

It’s generally agreed on, between the three of them, that they will not speak of the Incident, but it had brought about two key things: the fact that Twilight can and will bite people if he so chooses, and the more unfortunate fact that Four is now unable to go anywhere by themself in Warriors’ Hyrule without people seeing them and immediately trying to grab them and help them find their “parents”. Not that that’s not something that happened from time to time already, but now it’s a constant, and now they’ve really got to stick with Legend, Warriors or Wind in order to avoid people giving any other companions the stink eye or trying to snatch them regardless.

As annoying as that is though, the Incident still brought about that they all have odd tendencies. Biting people, after all, is not a normal Hylian behavior in the least, not for a full-grown adult. And it gives them a bit more ease about their strangeness. After all, secretly being four people in one skin is hardly the worst thing they could be, and in most situations (most being the operative word here) it’s quite useful.

Still, they hold back the secret for one key reason: they don’t want to blow their chance for a dramatic display.

Its Vio’s fault mostly, although the inner thespian of Green is also to blame. They want to make their appearance as four heroes be something worthy of the stage and which will have their brothers in shock and awe. Partially because, if they're wrong and the others think they are broken, they can at least have the satisfaction of the memory of their discovery to comfort them, and partially because making jaws drop has always been fun.

Which is why it’s so worrying when they first hear it.

They’re careful, abundantly so, to avoid making themselves obvious. They keep the chatter in their head as best they can, they try and maintain enough distance from the others to not be very obvious when one of another of them slips and becomes too overbearing in their control of the body. They do everything right really, so why?

Why do they hear Warriors say that?

It’s during a battle. They’re all spread around fighting monsters. There's not many of them this time, not enough to really outnumber them, but they’re all overpowered and large and it makes things difficult. Warriors, as always, had plotted out a strategy for them, but somewhere in the middle of the battle everything had gone pear shaped and they’d had to ditch the plan entirely. Why? Because bombs.

A bomb had gone off on the edge of the battle and while Time had managed to shield Sky from the force of it, the old man was thoroughly smoked from the incident. The plate armor couldn’t have helped honestly, and knowing what they do of metal and fire, they know Time has got at least a few burns, not from the shrapnel but from his own suit of armor, and as such he’s been helped off the field of battle by Sky, Legend covering their backs.

It leaves them down a member, and unfortunately that member is one of their biggest powerhouses. Time has abilities and strength only a few of them can match, and with him off the field, they can’t fulfill Warriors’s plan.

Which leads to the here and now. They’re darting about, trying to cover Twilight as best they can as the man fights with a desperation born of worry for his mentor. The monsters have rallied again and the moblin Time was fighting has since made its way to where the captain was already duking it out with their lizalfoes friend. The captain is holding, barely, but he’s not been chopped up yet. Still, it’s not ideal to have him fighting two of the largest creatures on the field, and the only reason no one’s run to help him is simply because none of them can. They’re all too busy.

Well, they all are until a flash of steel and a shriek sounds to indicate the death of one of the monsters. There’s a distinctive hiss of pain that they know to be the vet’s that follows it, but the suddenly renewed scent of ash in the air assures the beast is dead now, whichever one it was, and Legend’s heavy breathing says he’s alive at least.

And then it happens. The captain shouts, blade locked with the shadow-lizards and sweat pouring down his face. “Vio, could use some help here!”

And they stutter. It’s really a blessing they were paired with Twilight, who’s both big enough to catch the blow that almost lops their head off and also strong enough to cast it off his blade with a hiss of steel as he shouts to “get your head in the game, Four!”

They do, they have to! They jump back to it and start fighting all the harder hoping to be able to follow the order shouted at them. They mean to respond, to tell Warriors they’re coming (although how he knows, and why he called Vio and not Blue they don’t know) but the chance is taken when a clawed foot catches them in the chest and throws them to the ground.

As Twilight’s blade slips through armor and flesh, sending blood spraying from the throat of their attacker, they have a brief moment where they can look over the battlefield. Sky is still covering their leader at the edge, by the trees. Wind and Hyrule are tackling two lizalfoes together, still stumbling a bit into each other but mostly doing alright for two people who don’t have much experience working together. Wild’s arrows have stopped and the champion has pulled out some overly large weapon or another to tackle a moblin on the edges of the field, dangerously close to a cliff but using it to his advantage to try and push the beast over. It's working too. And that leaves Legend and Warriors. Legend, who near flies over the field to strike a blow on the moblin that’s been lumbering up behind their captain with its blade raised.

The tempered sword flashes, striking up and ripping away in a spray of blood that paints the veteran’s face as bright as his tunic before he’s darting away again, the beast turning after him instead and raising its spear.

To the left, Warriors is holding up well against the shadow. Both are injured, red and black blood mixing on their armor and dripping in their eyes, but the captain is alive, and when he feints again, a blade hisses over his shoulder to bury in the side of the black lizard, making it screech and fall back.

They glance, curious, towards the source of the blow, hands scrabbling for their own fallen sword as they do so, and see Legend pulling back his hand and turning his gaze back just in time to catch the falling spear on the shield he whips out of seemingly nowhere.

“Vio!”

They take the cue for what it is, fingers finally finding their sword as they pull themselves to their feet and help Twilight tackle the second monster. It’s not infected, as fate would have it, but it’s a bugger to take down, and when they at last finish they’re both panting with effort, sprayed with blood and bone tired.

“Everyone alright?” the captain calls, just about at the same moment as, next to him, Legend lurches. Panic stirs in several hearts at seeing their steady vet waver, but Wind’s beside him in a moment, offering an arm that Legend waves off.

“Just nausea.” The pink-haired hero assures, face drawn and lips pale as he straightens himself. “I’m alright.”

All the same, they're all instructed to head back to the path. Twilight finds a camping place for them that’s not spattered in blood relatively quickly, and Wild makes short work of employing his mentor and Sky in helping him to build a fire while the rest of them settle their things and, at Warriors’ instruction, shed armor and overclothes to check for any injuries.

Wind’s checked first, despite the pouting glare and a protest that “just because I’m the youngest doesn’t mean you should check me first! I’m only a bit scraped up!” that of course results in Hyrule being called to help the youngster clean up and attend any injuries that might need any care beyond wiping down and applying bruise ointment to.

Four find themselves next, and while the blow they took to the chest took their breath away and the claws of the beast that dealt it pricked them a bit, they’re far from at their worst. Warriors seems to mark their injuries in his mind before moving to the next hero and the next, each time assessing injuries before moving on.

It’s a common tactic that medics use, they know. Asses who’s the worst and treat them first, as more often then not they’ll suffer the most if left alone. Unsurprisingly, the worst of them is Time, and by the time that Twilight’s helped his mentor to shed his armor, Warriors is already there with burn cream and soft words as he helps their eldest clean up and treats and bandages his wounds.

Sky is fine, it would seem. He’s a master of the blade and near untouchable on the field, but more than that he’d had Time as a hylian shield when the bomb went off and came out unscathed. Twilight, unfortunately, is not. The rancher’s arm has been dislocated and there’s a nasty gash dangerously close to his ear that Warriors has to treat the moment he’s done with Time. Hyrule helps with the arm though, popping it back in deftly and then catching Twilight when the other near falls over from the pain of it.

Wild is only bruised, and while Legend is literally dripping blood, he managed to assure when they first came to camp that it was mostly monster blood. Mostly is, of course, a keyword, and they’re a bit worried about what amount of it isn’t, which the others all are too, but while Legend is moving a bit slower than usual, his breath doesn’t hitch like theirs does when they're in pain and he isn’t scowling at any obvious pains at all.

And then of course Warriors is on him and helping him wipe himself down, blue scarf staining red and black with blood as it trails over pale skin, leaking only faint streak behind. The vet is, as it would turn out, nursing a nasty cut on his arm, but it’s quickly bandaged before Hyrule produces potions to hand out to the lot of them and help them recover. They only use potions for serious injuries, or those that could hamper motion or travel, so Four doesn’t take one and instead simply allows Hyrule to help them clean the claw marks on their chest and bandage it afterwards. They can’t help but tense a bit during the process. Blood doesn’t bother them so much, but pain isn’t fun and antiseptic hurts more than they care to admit even to themselves.

“Blue, calm.”

The words make them start a bit, and in turn it makes Hyrule fumble a bit, earning them a sharp glance from the half-fae as he returns to cleaning their injury. Despite the instruction though, they’re even more tense.

Blue and Vio both have been addressed now. Both of them have been spoken to quite plainly, and while the first time was a shout and the second a soft murmur, it still sets them at ease.

Did somebody find out somehow? Do they all know? Does everyone understand fully and completely what they are capable of and just hasn’t told them? Do the others expect them to just up and split on command when they need ore manpower?

This is not ideal. Vio murmurs in the back of their mind.

You could say that again. Blue hisses.

What did we do? Their softer brother worries. How did they find out? We were so careful!

And then there’s Green. Ever focused and strong Green. Everyone calm down, we can figure this out.

How? Blue argues. No one’s exactly offered anything up yet except speaking to us, and even then-

We’ll figure it out. Their internal leader repeats. It can’t be that hard after all.

It’s that hard.

They keep hearing it. They can’t always place what’s said, but the murmur of their names is something they're attuned to, and whenever they hear it, they find themselves stiffening, pausing.

They hear it at night while on watch. Warriors’ voice rumbling sleep-thick “relax, Vio.”

They’d been tense before, worried for the camp, but the words have the opposite effect as they are intended and just make them stiffen further.

Post battle they’ll hear “you good, Blue?” or sometimes, “Vio? You hurt?” and each time their brain stalls for a moment. They don’t hear if the speaker ever repeats their question when they fail to answer, the parts of themselves too busy scrambling over the why to determine how best to answer.

It’s confusing. And frustrating. They hate blanking out whenever someone says their names. They hate how Twilight and Sky will look at them with worried faces for hours afterwards, asking if everything’s alright. And maybe it’s silly, but the thing they hate the most is how their brilliant opportunity to reveal themselves has been taken away and they don’t even know how.

And we were going to have it be so utterly perfect too....

Honestly, they just want to know who found out first and how. After that, they want to find out why that particular person told on them, because honestly, at this point they’d thought their brothers were actually capable of keeping secrets. After all, Wild, Time and Legend have all managed to keep the truth about Wolfie to themselves. Twilight didn’t tell anyone about their minish form. The others keep facts and secrets close to themselves at all times and don’t share each other’s about.

Until, as they find out, they do.

It’s late. They’re sitting on watch again. As normal, Twilight is pinned in place with Wild asleep on top of him and snoring. Hyrule is curled up next to Sky, and the skyloftian’s other side remains free of anyone else in the wake of them getting up to take over watch for Time. The old man settled down by the fire a bit ago, close to his pups but otherwise alone. Warriors and Legend have curled up together again too. It’s become a thing, those two. They’re not sure why or how, but in the nights previous, Warriors stopped shooting awake with his hand on his sword after Legend started nestling down against him, and while the vet is still sleepless some nights, he’s always better rested when he does drift off. None of the other heroes is sure what incited the sudden closeness, but after this long they’re just accepted it.

Bonding moments happen, it’s normal and unless someone spills the how and why, it’s not their business to ask.

The only bad thing about it though, is that Wind is no longer always curled up next to the captain at bedtime, and that’s why, when, at about two in the morning, an hour before their shift is over, there’s no one there to sooth immediately when soft sobs begin to sound through the camp.

Their first thought is to turn to Wild. The champion does have it the worst of them nightmares wise, but no, Wild sleeps soundly, drooling slightly on Twilight’s chest while the rancher’s huge hands lay tangled in his hair. Their second thought is to glance at Time, then Sky, since everyone knows those two experience horrid visions sometimes and sometimes wake up in a start from them (honestly, they all have terrible sleeping problems). Those two aren’t it however, so they shoot a glance at Warriors, but to no avail. The man sleeps soundly, a soft smile on his face from where it’s pressed into Legend’s messy hair.

What catches their eyes though is the fact that the vet is awake. He's not sobbing, he’s too exhausted looking for that as he pushes up from the captain’s arms. It makes Warriors scowl slightly in his sleep, curling in a bit tighter around nothing as the vet sits up, eyes glittering gold from lack of light as they scan over the camp. Briefly, the vet’s eyes flicker crimson, something like a cat’s (which is a highly unsettling thought) as they pause on them, but then the other is moving on, gaze seemingly knowing straight away where to look.

“Maliit?” Unlike the rest of them, sleep seems to add melody to the vet’s voice, sweeping away the daytime gruffness and replacing it with soft tones that make something inside of them stir and listen. It’s not just them though, the whole camp seems to settle better. The scowl on Time’s face lessens, and Twilight’s shoulders loosen. Even Warriors, hands still pawing unconsciously for his cuddle buddy, seems to relax some.

Across camp, curled up by himself, Wind’s eyes flicker open.

It’s a hard thing to make out, Wind’s eyes don’t reflect the light like Time’s, Twilight’s and Legend’s do, but they're close enough to see it as the sailor stills.

The sobbing stops for a moment, and then there’s the hitching of breath and a choking sound.

“Halika dito, maliit.”

The words have an unusual cadence to them, but roll smoothly from the vet’s tongue, and while they haven’t a clue what it means, it has Wind rising from his place and shuffling over to all but collapse into open arms that accept him willingly.

They’ve never seen Legend so gentle as when he brushes tears from the sailor’s eyes, crooning soft somethings in that lilting language before wrapping the other close and rocking slowly. They can’t make out the meaning, much less recognize the language (as much as Vio tries) but while Wind doesn’t seem to register any meaning either, he calms at the sound, burying his face in the vet’s chest with a little shudder that prompts ever more of that strange tongue to come spilling out, soft, sweet and songlike until it truly is music and the vet is rocking their sailor slowly, hands in his hair and eyes half-lidded as he trills music that makes the whole camp still.

“Vi?” The voice isn’t the vet’s or the sailors, and most certainly not their own. It’s thick, deeper than most of the others but not quite as deep as Sky, and it too sounds different than what they’re used to. It’s harsher, more rolling and rougher in its tones. “Conas atá an craic?”

Both sailor and veteran stir, and when Four follows their gazes it’s to see Warriors pulling himself up behind them, arms immediately wrapping around both and pulling them close with a yawn that makes the smithy freeze for a moment.

Holy Hylia and they though Twilight’s teeth were messed up! What on earth is wrong with Warriors’ mouth?!?!?!

“Hey, dad.”

Hey, what?

Warriors grunts, head drooping until his chin rests on Legend’s shoulder. “Hey, Tune. Wut has you oop?”

“Nightmares.” The sailor croaks. “You?”

“Vi got up.” They would like to know who gave Warriors the right to sound so much like he’s growling when he’s tired. Pities sakes, the man could give Wolfie a run for his rupees!

There’s a giggle, faint and rasping, from the sailor as he nestles closer to their vet, cheeks rubbing shamelessly against the wool of Legend’s tunic. “Who?”

“Me.” Legend answers, lifting one hand from the sailors back to give the captain’s hair a ruffle. The slightest hint of curls can be seen in the golden mess, a new addition since Warriors started going lighter on his beauty routine. “Your dad calls me ‘Violet’.”

“Why?” And there's more life now to the sailor’s voice and face both as he asks.

Four, quite suddenly, determines they must be as silent and still as possible, in order to catch onto whatever the heck is being said. Hylia bless them, hopefully no monsters will interrupt whatever the answer is.

“’s kinder.” Warriors slurs, nuzzling up to the two smaller heroes. “Legend an’ Warriors are heavy names to carry.”

“How?” The sailor asks again.

This time it’s Legend who answers. “They carry weight,” long fingers drift through sun-bleached hair in a caress that looks positively divine. Honestly, having their played with in general it nice but Legend’s hands especially look like they would feel amazing, as long and thin as they are. “Your names mean things important to you, but ours are reminders of what people expect of us.”

“Vio’s a legend, people look up to him.” Wars hums, shuffling a bit closer and smiling adoringly down at Wind, who smiles back as he too nestles closer to the older heroes.

“And your dad here has to live with a reminder of war and fighting all the time.” Legend finishes, yawning himself. It’s not a scary thing as with Warriors, who looks like he would take a hand off with his teeth. No, Legend’s is exactly the opposite and he squeaks a bit when he yawns.

Red, in their head, coos a bit.

“Oh.” Wind says, looking thoughtful, brows furrowed and face pouting slightly. It earns soft smiles from both older heroes as one muses his hair and the other rubs the sailor’s back in a reassuring manner. “I didn’t know.”

“We didn’t tell you.” Legend assures, yawning again.

Again, the words make the sailor paused before- “Do you want me to use that too?”

“You’re alright. I’s jist an’ escape when we need time t’ not be heroes.” The vet assures.

Again, there’s a nod and again the sailor falls quiet. Warriors looks to be near dozing off again on the vet’s shoulder and Legend’s own eyes are fluttering as he adjusts his hold on Wind. But then a moment later Wind is looking up and frowning, staring at first Legend and then Warriors, gaze fixing on the peaceful face of their captain. “So, ‘violet’ like the flowers you keep in your journal?”

That earns a raised brow from the vet and a look from both the other heroes to the captain. Four would very much like to know why Wind knows what's in Warriors journal (and how in Hylias name he ever got his hands on such a well-guarded thing) but they don’t ask, they just listen, ears straining for the answer.

Warriors nods, squeezing both smaller heroes closer to him for a moment before relaxing. “Nnnn. Violets mean ‘ome. Mean fam’ly. Fits.”

They’re not sure they've seen Legend look so startled in their life.

Wind just nods though, not at all looking as thrown as both Legend and Four themselves are. “And what does Legend call you?”

“Blue.” The captain drawls, yawning again and sitting up as he does so, only to flop back down against the other two and make both lurch slightly, snapping Legend back to himself as the vet rolls his eyes with a fond chuckle.

“Bluebell.” Legend corrects, not unfond as he tweaks the ear of the other. “He gave me a flower name, so I gave him one too.”

“Why?” Wind asks once more. Four very much hopes that this will not be a repeat of that day on the road where Wind had asked the question until Time himself had snapped in irritation at the younger hero.

Violet eyes, still flickering gold and red, turn towards the captain, who’s since turned himself to stare up at the other from where he still rests against the vet’s shoulder. The questioning look on the faces of both captain and sailor earn one of those little playful half smiles Legend usually wears, and then the vet is leaning back, taking a deep breath, and explaining. “Bluebells, also known as harebells, are a flower that symbolize humility and loyalty. They’re also sappy things that make other things stick together if they get too close.”

As though to prove the point, Warriors squeezes both smaller heroes, making them squeak in surprise. The smile he casts their way though is honestly radiant. It’s not at all like the flirtatious smiles at inns or the playful ones shot at them sometimes or the charming ones he offers all of them on the road or at camp when he wants to assure or lift morale. No, this is a smile Four’s never seen before and it’s beautiful and makes all other attempts look like wooden masks.

Because they are. Vio would be breathing the words if he needed breath of his own. They are just masks.

Unaware of Four’s silent revelation, Legend continues, gaze distant as he continues on, explaining various traits about bluebells, how they prefer the shade and don’t do well when left out in the sun. The vet talks about soil types and growing procedures and all sorts of things for a while and while they imagine it would normally send the other two right back to sleep, both hang onto every word spoken until the vet pauses with a frown. “I think I lost my metaphor.”

“Ye love me an’ I’m yer fav’rite brother.” Warriors says simply, chuckling rough and low with voice still full of sleep.

They’re jealous. They wish their voice sounded like that. And whatever accent Warriors has been hiding, they want to know what it is, because it’s amazing.

Legend scoffs, jostling the man behind him slightly as he bumps back into him, but the captain never falters, just holds the two back against him and rests his chin on the top of the vet’s head with a contented hum. Legend huffs at the action, looking down at Wind with a put-upon expression that’s as much a mask as Warriors’ fake smiles. “Your dad.”

“Yeah,” Wind yawns, smiling bright and with nary a trace of tears left on his face. “He’s awesome.”

Four would still very much like to know when, where and how Warriors happened to become Wind’s father. They feel that ought to be something they should all be told and good gracious how old even is the captain? They thought he was in his twenties but Wind is fourteen and....

“Anyways,” Legend sighs, settling again. “Bluebells are flowers that do best growing free. They’re treasured by the fae, and it’s said that if you try and take them from where they belong then your path will go astray and you will meet great suffering for it. They also say the sound of one is a promise of harm for those of ill intent.”

Blue eyes blink open, indeed the same color as the flower being spoken of, and glance down at the vet. “That so?”

Legend chuckles, a bit darkly. “Yes.”

“Hnnn.” Warriors settles again, gaze fixed above. “You forgot a bit of it.”

“Did I?”

“Aye,” bright eyes stay fixed on the stars overhead, voice distant and thick, like something out of a fairy tale like the minish would tell them or the other ones gramps used to share. “They say bluebells are a haven. Those of power- witches most, but some like fae or fierce- would hide in ‘em. Shift ‘emselves they would, into hares or rabbits, an’ hide in the blossoms for safety in times o’ trouble.”

While the ‘dad’ issue is definitely on the list of things to address, they add the sudden flush of the vet’s cheeks to their list of curiosities.

“That so?” Legend squeaks, melody lost from his voice.

Warriors hums again. “Yeah, like you. Yer powerful but you still come to me when you want safety.” The smile is as bright and beautiful as before, but this time quickly hidden as the captain buries has face in pink hair, humming contentedly. “Glad you do.”

Okay, now they really want to know why Legend is looking all flustered like that. Fortunately though, there’s one thing they don’t have to wonder about anymore.

No one knew about them, no one does. No one in the group shared their secret instead, they just happened to use names that are their own on each other. It’s a coincidence, and an oddly specific one too, but it’s alright in the end because they’re safe. Still though, when Warriors calls Legend ‘Vi’, ‘Vio’, ‘Vivi’ and ‘Violet’ it throws them off, and certainly, Legend calling for ‘Blue’ does the same, but there's no longer the scare of being known before they can make a dramatic reveal.

Even if, when they do, they’ll inevitably have to share their names with the two, since Wars and Legend have been using on them on each other for a while now with no knowledge of who else has them.

(Or so they assume. Little do they know of the great tome resting in Legend’s pack that reveals their every secret and receives many a wild smile from the vet when none can see as thoughts of the very same flit through a pink-haired head.)

I haven’t seen you post anything on ao3 since July, did I miss something??? (referring to your zero notes zero kudos post)

No, you didn't miss anything on my ao3. I've just been going through an Anakin whump phase on my tumblr lately (with answers to asks and miscellaneous posts and fanart -- some of which I already deleted when they got 0 notes, including a fanart I posted today. So even if you go looking, you wouldn't find all of them). So because of that, whether or not it's true, it personally feels like ppl aren't interested in certain things I'm excited about (tho the like.... three or four people who have shown interest, tyvm). And I'm really grateful to everyone who has read my fics on ao3. If I didn't have that huge bewildering amount of support to fall back on, I'm sure I'd be a lot worse off. So I greatly appreciate that. And at the very least, if all else fails, my mom will show support for all of my posts/fanart/fics lmao. Anyway, so I'm well aware lots of ppl dont have those things to rely on, so I'm hella not trying to take them for granted. ❤️ I'm very grateful and feel very lucky that so many people have said such kind and heartfelt things about my writing.

But there are certain things I still carry a lot of shame for liking. No one could ever make me feel ashamed about 5PE, but my biggest dream is to one day draw Anakin dubconnishly sucking Palpatine's dick. And my favorite fic universe to fantasize abt rn is the Vader Mpreg one. And those are things I do feel ashamed for liking at times. So when those are the things I post (currently on tumblr) that get 0 attention (esp when other things are getting attention), it sorta starts to reinforce the shame I'm already feeling.

Like, I spent 8 hours yesterday drawing that fanart I posted (which I deleted a few minutes ago). I skipped dinner and stayed late at work for 2 hours on Friday to finish writing this post on my work computer (bc my personal pc crashes if i try to make tumblr posts). Did I make either post to get notes? No. It was fun for me. Just the process of it was fun for me. I enjoyed myself so much!!! Totally worth it.

But do I regret posting them publicly instead of just keeping them for myself and my friends? ... Honestly, yeah, I kinda do.

Probably people did like the posts but are afraid to be seen liking things so dark and deranged. And like, that's okay, because I'm brave, I'm super brave, and I will be the first to post any deranged content out of any group of people. But I have limits, too. And if people are willing to read 5PE or shadow AU but not willing to read about Vader's uterus, then I start to feel less brave. :/ And I start to become demoralized over other things too.

Like, I was set to post chapter 10 of 5PE this weekend, but I haven't been able to work on it. Every Shadow, being less dark, is even harder to work on. Because if my perception is that ppl find me sick and grotesque and deranged for my most fucked up ideas (that's my perception, not necessarily reality), then it hurts to have my tamer content be supported instead.

Is that fair to yall? No, not at all. Am I trying to guilt trip anyone? Absolutely not. It's just a current unfortunate reality that's bumming me out, and there's not much anyone can do to change it. I just gotta let the feelings run their course.

Anyway thanks for reaching out anon. I feel better having been able to air all of this. Though I'll probably still step away to some extent (how long? who knows. The depressive episode will decide. But prob not for that long.

#sorry for mistakes i typed this on my phone #kb post #reply #anon

it would take a full year to put together all the sus stuff going on at sm. From the tid bit of truth that has leaked out they are trying to make it seem like a family squabble when in reality the family is trying to procure as much cash as possible sell the company then dip out never to be seen or heard from again. I feel bad for the artists who stayed out of loyalty cause sm obviously doesn't care about them. How in the world they managed to fumble one of their top artists, an ambassador for years getting to attend cruise24 is almost comical. Sm is a future documentary on industry corruption waiting to happen. It feels like the company is being run by like 12 people who dont get paid enough to care. They literally at times don't even try or if they do its so pitiful it seems like they want people to stop supporting the company and its artist it's so strange. I wonder if the company lost its favor with the Chaebols or something. Something suspicious is going on with korean ent in general though. I'll elaborate later its like 3 am rn

Also im still confused on how the enlistment blindsided them. There's something they aren't saying, then an update about not sending mail..idc that's weird, what about an update on how you literally didn't know someone had to go to the military with like a week's notice. Something just isn't right. Planning a whole comeback and that's not something they were concerned about at all. How? It doesn't make since. Why would they think he had until at least the middle of the year, what made them so sure? People dismiss the bad lying problem such a large company has. Also I am also noting how they dont really promote their artist. They spend millions on mvs and albums and then push it for a few weeks something isn't right. I get they make money off albums so why promote but that in today's fast past industry is so so small minded when there is so much money to be made with simple things like buzzfeed puppy interviews or release remixes not made by talentless people but they just..dont do it. It's odd. Very odd. Sm is weird

Like the stuff I read in these articles said by their own artists literally sound fake but it's not. They wanted to promote rover for like a week...that doesnt even make sense.

Actually the entire rover promo was weird and I'll do another post about that. Long story short it's weird that for something so highly anticipated there was little to no actual promo. Kji takes the reigns and just picks and chooses stuff he likes but that isn't a good idea. But people at s.m tbh don't really care, sure why not 40 year olds who watch Lego vids will love rover except no no they won't. He's literally painfully shy and doing stuff that he likes makes him more comfortable and that's great but at the same time they are an entertainment company all those years they cant get a coach or something for that. This company pains me.

They shelve comebacks for new groups like its nothing. While Nct has like 20 albums and 15 youtube channels but for what? There is no way in this universe nct will ever earn its keep, too many mouths to feed too many members they could be no 1 one in the world and still not break even. 7 members is hard to distribute wealth evenly even 4 member top earning groups complain about splitting money.. Then depending on the year some members may barely work at all its just so poorly thought out. Many of them don't have another career path to take some do but others dont if the group doesn't work out and they decide to Lucas them because of a scandal then what? If their family has money or a business for them to fall back on then cool but if not..even if they take the money they made and flip it they will not get the lost time back.

I was just chilling out and trying not to comment on what's going on but like I just cant this is a mess

And taeyong is finally getting a mini album like a year before he goes to the army.. after basically promoting his own self for years which now and days you have to. lets not pretend they aren't just giving him the solo to keep him in the company. It never fails they know if they don't give him what he wants he'll leave and he has the fanbase to do it. For some reason they never give the visuals of the group solos too young, if at all. they always wait until they are either injured severely or past their prime so they won't leave. They did the same thing with kai.

And ofc there's more to it than just that but this is enough for now

If you're still in need of some EXO recommendations, I got you! Enjoy the following ask that definitely isn't way too long didn't take me way too much time to put togetherbecause I couldn't decide on just a few songs

(before getting to the list tho, I just wanted to say that I really enjoy your writing and it's helped me through some hard last weeks, so thank you for that 🥰)

So, first of all, fitting to this season, I can really recommend the whole universe album (I especially enjoy Fall), Sing for you and miracles in december, 10/10, always great

Then, we've got the classics - Baby don't cry, Mama (their debut, still hitting strong), Overdose

The title tracks obviously as well, but I especially really really love Tempo, the acapella part in the bridge is just out of this world good; also Lucky One is a really really good one (that I feel often gets overshadowed by Monster)

Now I could list a lot of side tracks, but I'm gonna try to keep it to two per Album ^^' and go through them chronologically

Playboy and Hurt, Promise/Exo 2014, Artificial Love and They never know, Can't bring me down, Boomerang, The eve (obviously, you definitely have to watch the dance practice too), walk on memories and touch it, ooh lalala and smile on my face, Jekyll and Groove, Paradise

Now coming to the solos and subunits, I'll just go for one each, because this is already way too long 😶

Baekhyun - UN Village

Kai - Nothing On Me

D.O. - Rose

Chen - Beautiful Goodbye

Suho - Starry Night

Xiumin - Brand New

EXO-CBX (Chen, Baekhyun and Xiumin) - Hey Mama

EXO-SC (Sehun and Chanyeol) - What a Life

And last but not least: Lay - Lit this song is just so so so good, it's honestly one of my all time favourites

hii nonny! ive been meaning to get around to listening to all of these but im just gonna answer this one ask (since other ppl have suggested the same songs) and listen through rn!!

also tysm!! i'm glad i was able to help you through hard times. i hope things are better for you now <3 december has been weird for a lot of us i think, but we're getting through it. 2023 is just around the corner!!

i'm gonna go into this mentioning that the only EXO songs i know are love love love, tempo, baby don't stop, ko ko bop, and el dorado. there's probably more i've heard snippits of, but those are the ones i'm most familiar with >:3 (love love love was one of the first songs i listened to (outside of shinee) back in like. 2014-2015ish when i was originally into kpop tbh!!)

i'll come back to sing for you + miracles in december since universe has been a lot slower/calm winter vibes which is great but im admittedly in a weird spot rn ksdhfsdf but i do enjoy universe!! the winter vibes are great, just not what i need in this moment <3 (i'll def try to return to these later and give them a proper listen-through)

baby don't cry is like... oddly cozy in a way i can't describe? but ugh their voices layer so nicely here. also wait wtf this was 2013... how...

OH IVE HEARD MAMA. lets see how many of these songs i already know. it absolutely hits strong how the fuck is their debut??? some groups rly do just have debut songs that will always slap. also hehe they look like babies on the album cover. their vocals literally are so strong tho what da hell... how old were they at debut...

oh they were all upwards of 17. yeah that'd probably make sense.

know im also looking at songs on color coded and what the HELL kai's voice..... wack.

this answer is gonna be really long as u can tell.

OH ive also heard overdose. same album as love love love apparently :0 wack. overdose also slaps. i feel like im just gonna go through every song like "yeah this slaps" but tbh everything so far has slapped

im listening to tempo and im like wow. more guys <3 also the squeaking is the only cursed part of this song. i read a reddit thread once that mentions there was Someone who kept using the sound in songs??? the cursed SM era. song still slaps tho <3

i have reached lucky one. this one i haven't heard before! :D oh wait i lied. i was abt to be like 'idk where i heard it' BUT I'VE HEARD THE CHINESE VERSION.... probably in the rhythm smtown. im blanking on the name. but i do recognize the chorus lmao i was like hm why does this seem a lil off and its bc i've heard it in chinese lmao

good song tho!! its fun <3

OOO PLAYBOY IS ANOTHER I KNOW and love a lot. i mentioned once that i love the exo version but i always wished there was an official recording by jjong since both have different energies. i could go into it but i think jjong's live version he did once felt more... smooth? while the exo version feels a lot more playful and teasing. both are so good in different ways. it works so well with their voices imo but god i can only think of jonghyun when i hear it. it feels like such a Him song to write. i'll stop talking abt him but know that i do love the way EXO did the song.

hurt i don't think i know? we'll know when we hit the chorus. ok i dont know this. but :0 i have no idea how to talk about music despite taking classes for that lmao but!! the drawn out 'hurt' in 'you hurt me' just... flows so nicely?

can i say i rly do love baekhyun's vocals. like idk i think i usually notice his voice above the others at times. im saying this while listening to promise/exo 2014. also forgive me if its the wrong word but chanyeol has like... a slight rasp to his voice? its SO nice to listen to tbh idk if thats the right word but its like. texture. it scratches a brain itch.

ooo artificial love i also know primarily from the chinese version. it also slaps idk what else to say here sdfkhsdf it Does

they never know is another im unfamiliar with. i am repeating myself when i say i think everything slaps but there's something like... SO soothing abt this one while i can kinda bop to it as well? exo can do it all-

ok im gonna start making comments when i actually have them. if i don't say i dislike something, then assume its gonna be the usual 'this fucking slaps yo???'

OH YOO??? the like... contrast between "무너져 가는 Wall / 니 별은 이미 Fall" like. w wall and fall being much deeper? it is delicious. i am consuming this. its also in the different "down"s at the end of lines. tht contrast though UGH <3333 its so good

im gonna take a sec to mention that i really like the different exo album covers and like. the different way their logo is made. i just think its neat :)

im watching the dance practice for the eve. why are men hot. anon why would u do this to me. NOOO WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!!!!! I UNDERSTAND WHY U SAID I HAVE TO WATCH IT is this allowed. in my good christian minecraft server. i need to stress my 'why are men hot' was said within the first like 10 seconds.

ok i finally did something smart and just queued up everything else so i dont have to manually search.

walk on memories + touch it are both good! i don't have any real comments haha

have i mentioned i rly love how their voices mesh when singing together... bc i do...

jekyll slaps. i feel the need to mention it specifically. also groove is such a like. 180 from how intense jekyll was. 11/10 i love that.

ooo i rly like paradise :0 idk what abt it gets me but it scratches a certain itch and im into it

ok im gonna do the solo ones faster. baekhyun good and i already know this (i've heard some of his solo stuff and also his voice is just... so cozy. let him out of the military rn.

i put these out of order by accident so kai's song is after xiumin's--anyway YOOO I KNOW D.O'S SONG its on my lovey playlist hehe (the english version is i mean). solid song, makes me smiley <3

beautiful goodbye: makes me want to cry. good song <3

starry night: ooo... cozy. kinda sad. very pretty tho.

brand new: absolutely not what i expected ngl but im already into it. his voice reminds me of someone and i don't know who?? im boppin tho

nothing on me: kai is also someone who's solo work i've heard before--in terms of like... the big ones (mmm + peaches) and vanilla. his voice is so nice. idk how else to describe it, im running low on brain juice and im gonna make food after i finish out the last few songs

hey mama!: ooo this is fun <3 truthfully at this point i think if u tell me baekhyun is in anything, i'd probably listen.

what a life: ngl i wasn't sure if i'd be into it but the chorus slaps and i def enjoy it more after hearing the first chorus. random comment but i have to wonder if vernon has listened to this before. something about the way it flows, esp at the chorus, make me think of him and the way he makes music

lit: oh. oh. this gave me chills (in a v good way)

i'd give final thoughts but i think the general "exo fucking slaps" is all i can manage rn

ty for the long ask (even tho im getting to it a lil late) i hope u are having a good day <3

I’ve missed you too!! Such a busy week has left me drained lol but seriously bestie chatting with you cheers me up every single time💕

You’re so real for skipping around the audio for the sweet parts lol especially when it comes to friends to lovers legit a trope I could ever get tired of!! I would say get into audio book but tbh sometimes the people narrating them are not the best… so yeah maybe stick to the audio porn lol also you’re writing something for Thursday?!? A WIN!!!!!!

Aren’t we all angsty girlies at heart?!! At least I know I am lol love the pain and distress lol made to be was just so so so good I know I say this often but I might just have to re-read! (And I genuinely do bc the amount of time I’ve re-read your stories is crazy lol) and the new teacherry won’t be dumb! And if it is who cares!! This is fiction so it doesn’t have to be groundbreaking at all! I know it won’t suck but I do understand how it can be hard to see the positives sometimes!

Cariño is a fave of mine for reasons idk why! There’s also bebé(baby), preciosa(precious), querida, mi reina(my queen, but tbh I’m not a fave of queen in general lol) but omg gatita IS SO FOR YOUR STOIRES😭 there’s probably a ton I’m blanking on lol mi vida is also such a classic that I love it too lol and I don’t think that you would offend anyone tbh! Plus if you want to use the restaurant storyline stuff like tacos and other food stuff is what sells ya know. I think as long as you don’t really enforce stereotypes(I doubt you will!) then you’re fine! Or I could also see the reason of him using Spanish nicknames would be maybe because he studied aboard? Or maybe just living in a place where they mainly spoke Spanish for a bit? Or he’s just crazy smart and learned the language on his own lol ANWAYS I fear i will once again die(good way)if you ever use a Spanish nickname!!

lol

I’ve had other 3 hour courses before and they can totally make or break how I retain the info. I always kinda feel like I wanna share about the cool topics but i definitely geek out about and I fear these little chants would become WAYY longer than needed lol but thank you!! Hopefully I’ll stay interested in it for at least half way through 😭

NOT THE NOSE😭( I SCREAMED) BESTIE DRAG ME HAHAHA (his nose is cute though so you’re right😔) but for him i find his hands the most attractive…he’s also tall and wears glasses so i fear i wont shut up about him lol and thank you for the lovely vibes!!

Oh think those colors would be so cool for you! Especially rn since i think thats what’s like popular I think? But im sure it will look lovely in theory lol it probably would be a shock for everyone but dare i say bestie i kinda love the idea of you doing that!! Yeah the upkeep and like special products once has to use to take care of the color can be a lot lol I LOVE the way the universe made you!!!

You’re so right about Cody lol and I can see the appeal of Ben but Josh… girl trauma lol I love a good sad character even if it hurts knowing about! There’s also nothing wrong taking the sperm donor route like I have done my research as well lol Also a honey prequel?!? THATS SUCH A GOOD IDEA!! And bestie honey is turning out great!I have no doubt the last few parts will be just the same! You are and have been capable of creating such lovely stories!

Understandable about the wedding! I can see the Most couple getting eloped or whatever since they are basically soulmates lol I can definitely see how the guilt of her leaving could prevent her from even enjoying being engaged or going through the wedding process. And you’re right Harry would marry her whenever and wherever lol oh that’s such a good way of grouping firefighters 😭

Retail therapy is always fun! But I totally get how it sucks when not even the sweet treats are working😭 sending you the best vibes to help your brain!! Also a trip to Salem sounds so fun!! Have you been there before? Fall very much seems like your season( plus your birthday is coming up soon-ish!!) and a mft update would be so good for fall!

I actually had a busy weekend! Went out with friends to a drag show on campus which was fun! Did some needed errands but sadly started to feel off bc of my period:( but I’m fine just in slight pain lol and this quarter I only go for 3 days so it’s not too bad! Though I do have to wake up really early and stay really late on campus which is lame! But typically I like to go everyday just so I can have consistency but it just depends on the classes tbh who knows how next quarter will be lol

Ahhh Sam my love I am wishing you the best start of the week! Missed you loads!! Sending you so much love bestie! Love you lots!!!-💜

I think I misspoke perhaps. I meant Thursday as in the date not my story. 🙃 This is a next-door neighbors he's obnoxious but hot, she's not falling for it but is. But it's a little heavy I think. And with the recent Honey update, I'm thinking maybe I'll skip it. We'll see if I throw something together. Y'all might get the last part of Honey on Thursday 🤭 I'm sure everyone's devastated.

Sometimes I write stuff and I'm like "Omg no one would ever do this or believe this" and I know that's kinda the whole reason for fiction, but yeah. I just don't want it to be ridiculous. I'm an angsty girl because I love solving problems (math people, am I right?) but I don't like when it's a prolonged problem I need it solved like ASAP. (I often skip ahead in books, even if it's just a couple pages or a chapter because I get so distraught 😭) and when the love is loving, I need to know it's going to get better.

Preciosa is also super cute! I am def not a fan of my queen. I love princess (thanks Niall). but other than that. GATITA FOR THE WIN. I love the idea of studying abroad Harry. Love that love that love that!

Even if you just give me like a tidbit to study and look up. Or I'll make another sideblog just for you to send anon messages and geek out about psych stuff. I'm down for whatever you just let me know!

I WASN'T DRAGGING I SWEAR 😭 I JUST REMEMBERED SOMETHING FOR ONCE IN MY LIFE. Yes, hands, bless. I will not elaborate about hands, but you know. Everyone knows. GLASSES I'm S O L D. Please, do NOT shut up about him. I'm here for him.

I've been thinking about it more and more because I realized very recently my hair is all one color. Doesn't really photograph well. Idk. I don't photograph well at all. I think my whole aesthetic is "lovely in theory" 💀

I bet you're really kicking yourself that "honey is turning out great!" 🤭

Never been to Salem, no. Fall IS my season. I am a sweater, campfire, and bugs dying kind of girl. Apple picking? Say less. Basically, I want to be MFT mc and just live my best fall life.

I love that you still did fun things even if you're starting to feel off. It sounds like a fun weekend overall! I hope the pain continues to not be too bad. 3 days is a dream! I get the consistency. That's brutal for a sleep schedule. Can you sleep late on the days you don't have classes at least? But yeah, I get it. Some classes are such a drag!

LOVE YOU!

xoxo

I know it'll probably be like 2 years until I get an answer but oh well ;;" need to get this off somewhere and ifk where else to turn

I'm so fucking scared rn like, I have a lot of teen friends (21 myself), and met some of them just this year, a few months before their 18th birthday. My brain lately has been telling me "what if I end up falling for them later on? Would that be weird? That would be weird bc I knew them as a minor, but they were only a minor for like 5-6 months when I knew them before becoming an adult"

Obviously I would never make a move on someone still 17 or freshly 18, that would be wrong and feel predatory. But I'm currently so scared of what if I fall for them later. Would it be weird for a 21-22 yo to like someone who is 18-19? Should I be scared of myself? It feels so wrong and it doesn't help that I barely have any 20-22yo friends bc I never got along with people my age

Hey there,

I think that it’s quite normal to have friends that are not in your own age group. For example I have a few good friends who are at least 8-10 years older than myself and that is purely due to them getting and understanding me better than anyone else. So please don’t be too hard on yourself as this happens more often than not.

I guess that for you, maybe you are more of a caring kind of person, maybe like a protector who looks out for those younger than yourself due to your personality. There is nothing wrong with this at all, it just shows that people your own age may not need as much caring as those of younger people and so why waste your attributes to those that you can’t really be there for when you can care for those who may need it more. Of course though, this may not be the case for you but I am just trying to show that people have different reasons for being friends with those from a different age group and it isn’t weird or something to be scared of at all.

You sound like a really mature person who knows right from wrong in that you would never make a move on someone under the legal age. This again shows that you are not doing anything wrong if you were to fall for them at a later stage, sometimes we can’t always help who we are drawn to but as long as they are of a specific age (so at least 18) then I personally don’t feel like it should be a problem.

I really hope that this has helped a bit and please do let us know if we can help to support you in any other way!

I’m thinking of you and hope that you are going well!

Take care,

Lauren

♡ scenario: connor losing his mind when you're hurt and charging into the fight recklessly.

♡ pairing: connor kent ( superboy ) x fem! reader

♡ note: not checked for grammar or spelling mistakes / i'm sorry but i'm living for these angst to fluff moments rn especially bc i rewatched reign of the superman and forgot how much i loved connor in it.

Connor watched as you were completely slumped on the side of the building, no longer clear headed and struggling to stay awake. what was supposed to be a clean and easy mission turned out to be more than what the league expected.

he had requested for back up and while they were already trying to fight off the thugs that were attacking Connor, he could still see that you were fighting to stay alive and he had no idea if you were even going to come out of this fight alive.

"what the fuck?" Connor whispered, seeing you now slumped on the ground. he turned to the person who attacked you, eyes fully red with no intention of holding back. Clark could sense his song was a second away from committing murder as he saw Connor charge into the heart of the battle with no game plan, just murder.

"SUPERBOY NO!"

you waved shyly to the group of league members as you hid behind Wonder Woman. you were new to the scene of sidekicks and had no idea how to even introduce yourself without sounding like a complete idiot.

"woah new girl!" you heard a male voice say as you stood in your place petrified. you had no idea who it was as Diana had yet to individually introduce you to everyone, "i call dibs!" you heard the same voice say.

Diana turned to you before grabbing the boy who was charging towards you by the head and tossed him back to Superman, "she's not up for 'dibs' Superboy. she's my newest apprentice and you will treat her as such," she threatened.

you giggled behind her as a few of the sidekicks introduced themselves. you knew them as the Young Justice team and although you weren't formally with the team, you figured Diana was training you to become apart of them in the future.

"( your hero name ), this is Superboy," Wonder Woman said, "he associated to the Super family," she explained as he pushed up his dark circled glasses and flicked his hair back, "pleasure is all mine," he muttered, shaking your hand.

you returned a tiny smile before she continued to introduce you to Robin and Impulse. you noticed how Superboy kept his eyes on you. you had no idea if it was because he liked you or he disliked you but every time you turned to look at him, he was already staring at you.

after introductions and the cliche 'your real identity is sacred' conversation ended, Diana felt it was for your own good to get used to your new 'teammates'. she wanted you to make sure you weren't uncomfortable around any of the YJ team even if that included Superboy.

"so, what do you like to do for fun?" Wonder Girl asked, sitting down next to you and handing you a bowl of popcorn. you shrugged, "uh, not much. I like to watch tv and read for the most part. no one really invites me to do things with them," you admitted, scratching the back of your head.

she laughed, putting her arm around you, "well that ends today! we should all do something fun! how about we go to the county fair? doesn't that sound fun?" she asked. you shrugged, not really opposed to the idea, "I call all the rides with ( your hero name )!" Jinny replied.

you smiled, following her and Wonder Girl out the door as Robin, Impulse, and Superboy followed behind you. Robin looked at him, "you like her don't you?" he asked, already calculating the minute Connor had fallen in love with you.

"well she's apart of the team, i'd like to hope we'd all like her," he replied as Robin shook his head, "no, you get what i mean by that," Robin pressed as he could see Connor's face fall with realization. he didn't reply but he could tell what he was tell Connor's real answer through his face.

as they arrived to the fair, they all booked it to the first food stand they saw. Robin offering to pay for everyone being Bruce Wayne's son had its benefits. you ordered a simple coffee as you didn't want Robin to spend too much on everyone.

"what ride should we all get on first?" Jinny asked excitedly. you pointed to the tallest ride, it was one of those high rides that sat two people at the top and had them spinning around, "oh I can't do that. it's way too scary," both Keli and Jinny said.

Superboy smiled at you, "I'm down if you are," he said as he grabbed two tickets from the worker, "cool," you replied as the two of you walked to the line, sweat already building up from nervousness.

once they sat the two of you and made sure you were both buckled in, you stared at Superboy nervously as the ride started up and pulled you up before immediately starting to spin. you stared at Superboy, screaming for you life. you unintentionally grabbed his arms, not realizing you were holding onto him as you continued to yell.

Superboy chuckled, finding your reaction cute.

after the months passed and you finally grew closer to everyone on the team, you were particularly close with Jinny and Superboy. you and Jinny shared a lot of common interests as she showed you how to shoot a gun and Superboy...well, everyone could tell the two of you were just seconds away from actually dating.

you walked into the YJ lair, sipping on hot chocolates with Jinny as the weather was turning cold. she was cracking some cringe dad jokes, trying to make you laugh as you tried to contain from choking on the hot chocolate.

"hey, where we yall at?" Keli asked. you turned to Jinny before giggling, "just doing a few errands we had to run before I had patrol with Superboy," you said, not really clarifying on what you both were actually doing.

although everyone could see how much you liked Connor, Connor himself thought you had a thing with Jinny. he knew she was particularly close with you and felt as though he was practically competing with her for your attention.

"do you have my phone?" you asked Jinny as she dug into her pocket and handed it to you. you grabbed your phone before quickly snatching her hat and putting it on, "yee-haw," you giggled into the mirror as Jinny started chasing you down the halls.

as you turned a corner, you bumped into Superboy and fell flat on your ass, "oh, I'm sorry Superboy, I didn't see you there," you groaned as Jinny grabbed her had and put it back on her, "you've yee'd your last haw," she said, making you laugh harshly.

Superboy's eye couldn't help but twitch as he gave you his hand, "ready for patrol?" he asked sternly. you looked to Jinny who crept away from the angry Kryptonian and left you to deal with him, "yeah, let me just freshen up again and I'll meet you outside," you murmured, going into the bathroom.

you quickly used the bathroom before checking if you had everything. you opened the door and walked into the lair's common area. Connor had yet to drop the angry attitude and everyone was eerily silent as you walked in. he grabbed you by the arm and practically rushed you out the door.

"weird," Jinny told Robin as he shrugged, "what isn't weird about him," he replied making everyone laugh.

patrol started extremely awkward. you hadn't felt this weird since you first started on the team and you had no idea what was wrong with Superboy since he wasn't telling you.

the two of you walked on top of roof, scanning the empty roads before you turned to look at him, "what's up? you seem bothered," you asked him as you both sat on the ledge, "seriously? you seem annoyed at me or something so at the very least you can try and tell me what's wrong," you pressured again.

he looked at you with eyes of determination before grabbing you by the collar of the shirt and pulling you into a very heated kiss. you were taken back by surprise but let him continue to kiss you. a part of yelled at Connor pulled you close but another part of him was still screaming at him that you still could've liked Jinny.

"I had to do that before Jinny officially took you away from me," your eyes fluttered in confusion, "uh, what do you mean by 'take you away from me'?" you asked, not knowing what he was talking about.

Connor sighed in frustration, "I see the way you're around Jinny and figured that she likes you and vice versa," he finally admitted as he stood up, not wanting to hear your response. you quickly stood up and grabbed him by the wrist, "hey wait," you said.

he stared at you, "I'm really not in the mood to get rejected ( your hero name )," he ran his fingers through his hair annoyed. you shook your head, "I don't like Jinny nor does she like me. we're just really close friends Superboy," you whispered, bringing him into another kiss.

this time, he was the one taken back but he melted into the kiss, all his negative emotions washing away as you continued to kiss him. he wrapped his arms around your waist as you him in closer by the neck. Connor was definitely not expecting this tonight.

"so does this mean that we're like....together together?" you asked playfully shy. Connor let out a laugh before lacing your hands together, "clearly. I can't let Jinny steal you away from me," he jokingly replied.

Connor ran to the three different henchmen as his strength was to the point of killing, not caring if he died in the process. he was recklessly dodging bullets, knowing they wouldn't do anything to him. he grabbed the first man and threw him against a wall as it collapsed around him. Connor only hoping that it did enough damage to unalive him.

the second one he managed to choke him out enough to the point where he passed out but that wasn't enough for him. you were on the brink of death and if he had to see you die, he was going to make sure the men who possibly killed you got what they deserved.

"SUPERBOY!" he heard his father scream again. Connor paid no attention to him as he grabbed the third henchman and slammed him to the ground, throwing punches left and right, "listen to me," Clark screamed at him.

he could see the tears coming down Connor's face as anger, fear, and sadness clouded his mind, "this is not you! pull out of it!" he yelled, shaking Connor's shoulder, "you're about to kill this man. I get that you're angry but you don't get anything out of hurting him. all you get it consequences and your girlfriend needs you right now more than ever!" he continued.

Connor finally shook himself out of his trance as he heard his dad telling him to go to you. Connor nodded and ran to you, seeing you unconscious and hardly breathing, "I'm taking her to the hospital," he yelled to Batman before hauling your body into his arms and flying towards the nearest hospital.

once he finally reached the emergency doors, he shoved everyone out of his way and to the front desk, "she needs help...NOW!" he yelled to the poor receptionist. the girl jumped up from fear but nodded and screamed for a bed and a few doctors.

the doctor asked Connor to place you on the bed before the doctor told him that he could follow them inside. a part of Connor wanted to straight up move the doctor to follow you into the OR but he knew that he'd get into more trouble with his dad and the MPD if he hurt anyone else.

for what felt like hours, he was waiting inside of the room they had told him you'd be in once you got out of surgery. he had already gotten the lecture from his dad about the consequences he would've gotten if he actually managed to kill the three men earlier.

"she's going to make it," the doctor told Connor as he walked into the room while they adjusted you to the bed. Connor nodded, "she'll be out of duty for months. she sustained a lot of injuries to her body that'll take weeks to recover and she got a nasty concussion so you'll need to play doctor for the next few weeks to make sure she's okay," he explained.

Connor nodded as the doctor told him that you should be waking up within the next few hours. Connor adjusted himself on the seat and got comfortable as he had no intentions of leaving your side until you were awake and ready to leave the hospital.

you woke up a few hours later, your body killing you from all over as you saw balloons all around the room. you knew you had landed in the hospital but you had no idea how long you were asleep or in a coma even. you turned to see Connor passed out next to you, his body slumped awkwardly.

"Kon, Kon wake up!" you whispered, shaking him softly. Connor jumped up in a fright as he immediately realized you were awake, "how do you feel? are you okay? do you need anything?" he immediately asked as you couldn't help but laugh at his frantic attitude.

"Connor, I'm okay, I promise," you whispered as you brought him in for a kiss, "my body just hurts and i'm still kinda tired," you murmured as Connor nodded. you managed to wiggle yourself enough to make space for him, "babe, it looks like you haven't slept in days."

"I had to make sure you were okay so i haven't exactly slept in a while," he admitted sheepishly. you shook your head, "you're too much sometimes," you giggled as you put your head on his shoulder, "but you love me regardless," he replied.

this was the first time the L word had came up in the relationship, "yeah, I guess I do but now you need to sleep," you said as you closed your eyes and felt Connor pull you closer to him, "I love you too by the way," you whispered, giving him another kiss on his partially exposed chest.

finished the rest of the story (or at least all that i have ideas for rn)!! it’s on the google doc but ill post it here too - The bloodclan cat that the thunderclan apprentice killed was Grit, one of Shellclaw’s kits. Shellclaw witnessed the murder, but was too far away to help. After this, Shellclaw vowed to get revenge in anyway possible - Bloodclan began to become more hostile, threatening any Thunderclan patrol that came their way. There were many battles, some worse than others, until a full war was announced. Thunderclan vs Bloodclan. - The war carries on for the entirety of Shellclaw’s leadership (which wasnt long). Many cats from both sides die and it is a time of despair for both clans. You may be wondering where the other four warrior clans are in this; they know of the war, but they also know that a Thunderclan apprentice was the catalyst for the war, so they choose not to help. They say it’s Thunderclans problem, and that they did this to themselves (which yeah they kinda did lol). Eventually, after many, many moons, Shellclaw is killed and Violetta takes his place. She becomes Violettaclaw, and peace is restored, though many Thunderclan cats are still hesitant to go near the twolegplace. - During Violettaclaw’s leadership, Leafstar came to visit quite often. Leafstar and Skyclan never knew of Bloodclan, only hearing stories passed down from the other clans, so she visits Bloodclan often to learn if those stories are true. Leafstar and Violettaclaw exchanged information, with Leafstar learning about the way Bloodclan works and Violettaclaw learning about Daylight warriors. Violettaclaw was able to convince a few kittypets to join, and eventually having Daylight warriors become very normal in Bloodclan. - Violettaclaw eventually passed peacefully, but not before picking York as her deputy. Yorkclaw quietly ruled Bloodclan, not wanting to start any fights or drama with other groups. They also started standing up for disabled cats, accepting more into Bloodclan and chasing away anyone who disrespects them. Yorkclaw always had a big ego, so they thought they would never need a deputy… which ended up causing alot of problems. The biggest problem, Yorkclaw didn’t pick a deputy before they died, which caused Bloodclan to temporarily fall into chaos. - The chaos was quickly dispelled when Skipper showed up and proved himself to be a valuable leader. Skipperclaw rules similarly to Yorkclaw, not wanting to interfere in anyone else's business. He allows cats to come and go as they please, and relaxes the rules quite a bit. Skipperclaw has a secret though… he doesn’t share it because it’s not good, it's just… not something he thinks others will know how to fix. Skipperclaw has been visited by the first EVER Bloodclan leader; Scourge. Scourge has been trying to convince him to start another war with Thunderclan through his dreams, but Skipperclaw is trying to avoid him the best he can. Some of the ways Skipperclaw avoids Scourge aren’t particularly healthy though, staying up for nights on end just so he won’t dream about him. Cheshire, his deputy, and the only other cat who knows of the secret has been trying to help him though. Skipperclaw doesn’t want to ask the warrior clans for help, but he fears using their moonpool to contact their “starclan” and seek help might be the only way to get Scourge out of his head.

drunk haikyuu boys singing to you

Synopsis: how some haikyuu boys sing to you while they’re just slightly drunk

Characters: Sugawara, Ushijima, Bokuto, Kenma, Yamaguchi, & Kageyama - all with a Fem!Reader

Warnings: mentions of alcohol, some swearing probably, mention of a suggestive song (but nothing specific!). All characters in this fic are assumed to be of legal drinking age :)

Haikyuu Masterlist

Sugawara will literally sing to you anywhere anytime. Backup dancers no backup dancers, stage or no stage, drunk or not drunk. He is READY.

He’s definitely embarrassed you in the park before, singing to you at the top of his lungs some adorable little song that he’s now obsessed with. He has a really great voice but omg Suga please shush, people are staring at you.

But drunk Suga? Oh that boy is going to SERENADE the shit out of you. It probably won’t even be a romantic song to be honest. He’s probably singing some really suggestive song at you, winking with both eyes because he’s very tipsy (“m not drunk Daichi, I can totally handle another shot if you would jus gimme”).

He’s basically scream-singing because the music at the club is loud so it’s a lot of dance moves and hand gestures too. Tries to grind on you but again, had a few drinks, so he’s kinda just flopping around lol.

Has Daichi and Asahi singing backup for him even though Asahi doesn’t really know what the lyrics are so he’s just nodding and humming along (cut to his :O face when he realizes how suggestive the song is).

Ushijima doesn’t sing out loud in public sorry. But after a couple of shots that Tendo just keeps pouring for him, he’ll happily sit somewhere in the pub with you on his lap. His lips will continuously press kisses to your forehead and you can hear him softly hum or whisper the lyrics of the love song that just came on the speakers.

He’ll brush the hair away from your ear so he can continue softly humming to you with each kiss, smiling cause you’re so embarrassed but you’re also loving it??? And he loves you and just wants to tell you that. He might not be the greatest at words but this song seems to be lovely and has a good melody so he gonna at least hum it to you, singing out the parts that he really connects with.

You’re not even really sure if he remembers it in the morning cause you can’t really? tell? when he’s drunk? He becomes slightly more okay with PDA and his cheeks go a nice red but like tipsy vs drunk you got no clue.

But you catch him humming the song again later the next day and he catches your eye and gives you that smile again and like ugh butterflies.

Bokuto is has been preparing for this FOR AGES. He’s already thrown back a few shots but serenading you has been like a dream of his for AGES. So the shots are just adding to his confidence. Once they announce the start of karaoke, he is ALREADY on the stage.

Akaashi is ike sir please no just come back here and don’t embarrass us, but Bokuto is insistent because he is the best at everything so why would he not do it??

Gets on stage and picks some like very dramatic song, (if you’re a Brooklyn99 fan, imagine how Gina is dancing to Beautiful by Christina Aguilera to those teenagers cause that’s what I’m imagining rn lol) and at the beginning of the music, he just pulls the mic off of the stand like some cocky pop star, looks you dead in the eye and points at you saying, “This one is for you, hot stuff”.

You’re just hiding behind your fingers but like peeking through them because as entertaining as this is, you can also feel everyone staring at you and that is just a no thank you.

Akaashi is filming it and sends it to the group chat so everyone can laugh with him at how confident Bokuto is. But also like ??? Bokuto has a good voice and the team has only ever heard him singing in the locker rooms (but most of the time that’s like speak-singing? if that makes sense?) whereas right now he’s going full out because he loves you.

Kenma like Ushijima really doesn’t want to sing out in public. You might catch him humming along to his game’s music but karaoke? ya no sorry. Not unless it’s just the two of you in a private karaoke room, then maybe he’ll quietly sing along.

But the two of you are just chilling in a pub, watching some other volleyball players play a version of Never Have I Ever that’s about their volleyball teams (“Never has my teammates gotten a penalty for screaming at each other.” “Kuroo you ass.” “Not my fault, drink up Daichi, and all you Karasuno boys too.”)

Kenma had had a few drinks and was feeling pretty mellow. He felt like he could fall asleep right here with you in his arms but he was just nodding his head off to the music.

Then you started humming and quietly singing along to the music and he recognized it as something you had sung along to at home too. It gets to the part where the lyrics say something like “baby you’re everything to me”, and Kenma sings it with you.

You look up at him in surprise cause you honestly thought he was sleeping, but his eyes are wide open now, looking at you with literally all the love in the world.

Yamaguchi has literally the prettiest voice in the world and you cannot change my mind. He sings to you all the time at home, dancing with you in the kitchen while you’re trying not to burn dinner, or in the car while you two are singing at the tops of your lungs, but he’s never done it in public before. Cause that shit scary.

But after a few drinks warm his whole body, he’s smiling at you with closed eyes, swaying to the music.

“Are you okay, Yams?” You laugh, brushing your fingers through his hair and he just nods and holds your hand to his face while he half hums, half sings some of the lyrics to you.

“Holy shit, Yamaguchi can SING?” The Karasuno boys would go crazy. Cue Sugawara asking the owner of the establishment you guys are at to play a specific song he knows that Yamaguchi loves. All of them crowding around you guys like some acappella group, singing along with Yamaguchi.

You’re just like oh my god what is wrong with you all but like it’s the cutest thing ever. You filmed it. Posted it on your Insta.

Yamaguchi is famous now because girls are DYING over his voice and how he looks at you when he sings. He is very embarrassed but likes that you were so proud of him that you posted about him because this boi insecure please go love him the way he deserves.

When I think of Kageyama drunk, I’m thinking of his little dance before the meat BBQ scene at training camp LOL (note the gif above). This boy is dancing very awkwardly but he moving because he happy. But also like singing? Um no, he’s nervous thank you very much. He doesn’t really hum or sing in general so drunk Kageyama isn’t much different but if he hears you singing??? He starts giving you puppy eyes because he loves your voice so much. So you start singing to him and he’s nodding along with a little smile on his face. And then he starts singing too? At first it’s more like speak-singing but then he gets really into it (while also dancing very awkwardly) and he has???? such a nice??? voice???? like sir??? Why have you spent so much time yelling at Hinata when you could be singing?

He’ll like pinch your cheeks a little while he’s singing to you and is all red-faced because a) drunk and b) his inner self is like omg this is embarrassing please stop but he loves you so much he can’t help himself.
