🏛️ emperor caracalla ; headcanons ⋆₊𐕣˚𖤐 ݁。☽
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
content warning: fem!reader. mentions of blood, killing and sickness, cheating, possessiveness, toxicity. idk if there’s anything else.
word count: 0.7k
author’s note: first time writing headcanons, so constructive criticism is welcomed. and english is my third language so please bear with me. i apologize for any mistake 🙏🏻 also, i’m unlocking a new obsession, so i needed to write for caracalla asap. i’m gonna write for other fred characters too because that man has me down bad. that’s it! enjoyyy! <3
emperor caracalla is a menace with an insane duality and you know that better than anyone
we have 1) mad ruler with an insatiable thirst for blood
you ALWAYS go to the games
he demands wants you there with him
(not like you have much choice being married to him)
but still, he loves to know you’re there. mostly because he actually enjoys sharing his passion and spending time with you. buuut, also because he REALLY likes to show you off. (you love seeing him all giggly clapping and yelling tho)
and let me tell you, he takes every opportunity to do so. to remind everyone that you’re his. and to brag in front of his pretty much unmarried brother.
i’m talking hand rubbing your thigh when sitting by his side (he does it absentmindedly, it’s genuinely cute), arm around your waist during feasts, sitting on his lap when watching combats, theatre or any sort of entertainment and a ton of PDA.
both of them are possessive, but he is more subtle, not as straightforward
regarding Geta, you two have an… odd relationship. he’s thankful there’s someone else to deal with his brother’s madness. but he’s suspicious of your intentions. tho jealous.
some would even say not only of the marriage itself…
caracalla knows, and absolutely feeds on it. he finally has something that belongs to him and only him
god forbid someone doesn’t get it
Dondus has grown to adore you. you’re like his other parent -he’s adopted you as such.
squeaks at you and happily climbs your arm to rest on your shoulder
loves using your braids as little ladders
and snuggling against your neck too
he’s just so cute can u tell i love him :3
anyways
and 2) sappy child
he follows you around like a puppy
you hate it when he gets overwhelmed, he tends to hide and isolate himself
you end up acting like his mother
gets insecure of his real face and keeps it from you
needs a lot of reassurance
the guards always look for you when he has an outburst
your touch and presence are the only things that ground him
LOVES LOVES LOVES cuddling
clings to you like he needs you to breathe
good luck waking up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom 💀
play with his hair and he’s GONE
big on pet names
to you is always “my love” “my dear” “my darling” “my wife” “my empress”
emphasis on the “my”
everything’s fine with him but “sweet boy” makes him melt
and obviously “my emperor” cause it makes him feel powerful
and compliments too
spoils and pampers the shit out of you
jewels, clothes, animals, entertainers, you name it
absolutely whipped
loves kissing
now, it can’t all be a fairytale 😞
sometimes you feel like he loves Dondus more than you
and it seems that some men being forced to kill each other brings him more happiness than you ever could
he can switch from sad to angry in a matter of seconds and sometimes his sudden change of tone and expressions startles you
🚩 🚩🚩
being married to a sick man is hard
many palace servants and guards feel bad for you
paranoid
thinks you don’t love him anymore and are going to leave him quite often
obsessive
if you say something that feels ‘off’ to him get ready for an intense interrogation
possessive and extremely jealous
cause why the fuck where you laughing with some random man?
he’d threaten to kill him and would probably get rough with you
hates other people touching you
gets violent
has hurt you before during one of his fits
regrets it afterwards but has a hard time apologizing
would probably be unfaithful. i know, i hate it too 🥲
over all i think he wouldn’t be that bad of a husband, like it could be way worse
and i say he could genuinely love you, it just wouldn’t be the healthiest of loves
but you can try to fix him girl ✨✨

Not Alone Part 3 (Eddie X You)
Tumblr media
A/N: This Y/N is currently me and while out getting snacks I realized I needed to write this into existence. Maybe one day I'll meet a partner like this... If you're spending the holiday by yourself, know you aren't alone <3
Warnings: being alone for the holidays, mentions of grief, Eddie comforting
Word Count: 1056
Eddie Masterlist
Eddie heard it in your voice and saw it in your face when he talked about Christmas with his uncle.
“Yeah, he usually gets the day off so Wayne makes some burgers and we watch A Christmas Story.”
“Aw that sounds like fun!”, you grin as you take in how his face lights up. 
You loved seeing how animated he got when he talked about certain things but when it came to family sometimes his face would drop. He missed his mom and told you that his dad used to ruin the holidays most of the time by being drunk or absent all together. From what he told you, it sounded like Wayne was making up for lost time and new memories that couldn’t be made since his sister-in-law passed. 
“What do you guys do?”
“Oh, uh, my dad used to make a big show of Christmas and make a huge meal. Pull out all the stops.”, you giggle. “He loved giving us presents and seeing us smile.”
“Sounds about right from what you told me.”, he chuckles. “What about now? Do you guys carry on the traditions?”
“Um, yeah absolutely. My mom makes a turkey and we get to together to just talk and watch Christmas movies like you and your uncle.”
Your smile fell ever so slight as your eyes glazed over causing him to reach for your hand. 
“Well, after, if you want to come over and share a burger you absolutely can. You know you’re always welcome over here, sweetheart.”
“Oh, thank you, but I don’t want to intrude.”
“You’re never intruding, babe.”
After knocking on your apartment door, he waited, hoping for your sake he read the signs wrong but as the door slowly opened his heart broke. 
“Eddie? H-Hey, baby, what are you doing here?”
Your voice was gravelly telling him immediately you had been crying. 
“Come on.”, he murmured as his hand gestured absently out the door. “Come on. You’re coming with me.”
“Sweetie, I can’t. I don’t want to bother you—” Before you could finish your sentence, he collected you in his arms and began heading towards his van. “Eddie, wait! I’m in my pajamas! I haven’t even done my hair.”
“You still look beautiful to me.”
***
“I can’t put my arms down!”, the little boy in the movie whines eliciting a loud cackle from Wayne as he sips from the beer can in his hand. 
“You know, Y/N, my mother, Eddie’s grandma, used to dress up me and Allen in all those layers like one gust of wind would freakin’ blow us away.”
“Pfft, thankfully my mom didn’t hate me that much.”, Eddie teased as his uncle tossed him a playful glare. 
You laugh as you curl up closer to the metalhead’s side and take a bite of the fry on your plate. 
“Ah commercial. I’m gonna go smoke a cigarette real quick.”, Wayne announced before rising to his feet and disappearing out the door. 
“How are you doing down there? You alright? Need a refill?”, Eddie asks as he cranes his neck to meet your gaze and his fingers brush your hair away from your face. 
“No, I’m alright.”, you smile as you tilt up to kiss his lips. “Thank you for this.”
“No problem. You’re always welcome here, baby. You’re never a bother. I’m going to get that tattooed on you somewhere so you can look at it and always remember.”, he jokes as he pokes your side. 
After you pull back to fully sit up, he does the same knowing you’re about to tell him something you struggle to say. You always pulled away slightly when you felt like you were about to tell him something heavy. He thought maybe it was your physical way of protecting yourself. As if you were expecting him to explode by your news so you wanted to be able to run and be safe. 
Eddie did everything he could to make you feel physically, emotionally, and mentally safe but he understood that sometimes your mind won the internal battle over anything else. 
“I haven’t spent Christmas with my family in years. When my dad died… my family struggled to cope especially my mom. She’s strong willed you know? ‘I don’t need therapy. I’m fine. I can handle it.’ But…every holiday…it’s like she forgets about me. We don’t do anything.�� I don’t even get a text or a phone call… Then of course my siblings have their own families with their own traditions and since my mom is in her own head she doesn’t scold them for not even calling either. 
For years, I called or invited myself over…forced the family to spend time together…but these past couple of years…I can’t do it. I want them to think of me first for once. God, that’s so selfish.”, you sigh as you hide behind your hands. 
“No, baby, no it’s not. Hey. Look at me.”, Eddie coos as he lightly pulls at your wrists and reaches out with his fingers to dry some of your tears that had fallen. “It’s not selfish. Like you said, you tried for so many years and it went unnoticed AND unreciprocated. You deserve to have someone put in the same effort you do and then some. Your dad always did, right?”
“Yeah.”
“Come here, sweetheart.” After moving your plates and drinks to the side, he collects you in his arms and holds you tightly to him, rocking you gently back and forth as he pets your head allowing you to cry in his embrace. “Everything’s ok, Y/N. You’re safe with me, babe.”
After a while, your tears stop as you both focus on the tv in front of you and he smiles when you laugh at the boy on the screen. 
“You know I did that once.”
“Eddie, no!”, you tease as you lightly smack his chest.
“Oh, of course. Put my tongue on the pole and it got stuck. No one had to dare me or nothing. I just did it.”
“Oh my god.”
The door slams shut as Wayne wipes his boots on the mat and grins when he sees you in his nephew’s arms before taking a seat back in his chair. 
 “Hey, Ed. Remember your junior year of high school when you stuck your tongue to the pole?”

Only Pleasure Remains
Summary: Feyd-Rautha has other uses for the mouth of the Fremen prisoner refusing to talk.
Pairings: Feyd-Rautha x GNFremen!Reader
Word Count: 1k
Warnings: he fucks your face, it’s nonconsensual, you kind of like it anyway, smut without plot, you get a facial, WITH his black cum because that’s too iconic of a HC not to include, he gets his happy ending but you don’t get yours. Literally.
A/N: I don’t think a Fremen would ever allow this to actually happen but I’m a whore and a slave to my simpler urges. Not gonna lie I wanted this to happen in the movie. Does this even make sense? I don’t know but it’s hot
The inner walls of the ruined sietch is a brief relief from the oppressive heat beating down on the desert planet. Feyd-Rautha discovers a group of his men restraining a prisoner, sunlight pouring in from the hole over their heads. As they notice him they break apart, revealing you to him for the first time since he received news of a survivor.
You’re covered in sandy grime and blood, the nose piece of your stillsuit dangling free, hair dirtied and loose from its previous style.
And you look fucking beautiful on your knees, even with your face wrenched in disgust and utter defiance. Feyd-Rautha didn’t expect to feel such an intense attraction to a Fremen. In fact, he reserves a moment to study you, to confront his desire like an untamed beast — pry open its mouth and examine its teeth.
“They refuse to talk,” one of the Harkonnen soldiers says. He nudges you with the nose of the lasgun and you snarl — you actually snarl — upper lip pulled back, blue-on-blue eyes glinting with hatred.
A trapped animal, desperate for freedom. Feyd-Rautha feels his cock stir.
“For now,” he says. He raises a hand. “Leave us.”
The soldiers exchange indecipherable glances before leaving, ducking back out into the blazing sun. Feyd-Rautha steps as close to you as he dares. Even with your limbs bound, he’s certain that you would do anything in your power to maim him.
“Your silence rings empty among the cries of those you loved,” he tells you. He towers over you, a sentinel of dangerous, crackling energy, wreathed in black armor. “The others are gone. Dead. What service is your silence to them?”
You stare up at him with your seething gaze.
Feyd-Rautha crouches beside you. Your hostility is nearly enough to bowl him over, a tangible, living creature between you.
“If you deny me this now, I will have no choice but to make you.”
He lifts a gloved hand to your cheek, lovingly whispering his fingers over the curve of your face before grabbing your chin. His grasp is enough to spring tears to your eyes, causing you to bite your tongue and draw blood, its coppery taste filling your mouth.
You should hate him. He stands for everything you’ve rallied against. Hell, he had just ordered his men to obliterate your home, your people. Yet you find yourself incomprehensibly drawn to this man who exudes power as effortlessly as others can breathe. It infuriates you. Revolts you.
Your aching, traitorous body pools with heat as Feyd-Rautha parts your lips and forces his thumb into your mouth. Sand grits over your teeth. His gloves taste of dry leather. Of blood; though it could very well just be your own. He presses his thumb down with enough force to shatter your jaw.
Feyd-Rautha rasps, “Then, since you refuse to speak, I will give your mouth a different purpose.”
He wrests his hand from your chin and pain explodes through your skull.
Feyd-Rautha rises once more to his formidable height and works to liberate his cock from his armor. You watch, horrified, transfixed, as he pulls his pants down just enough to show his powerful thighs and reveal a stomach taunt with muscles. His cock springs free and he wastes no time wrapping his hand at the base and stroking it fervently, all the while gazing down at you with naked, unfettered devotion.
And for some reason the sight of him like that transcends you, strips you completely bare. Your entire body trembles.
The na-Baron fists the hair at the back of your head and, without preamble, guides you to his cock, groaning as the warmth and wetness of your mouth envelops him. Anger flaring, you bite down as hard as you’re able — but instead of revoking himself, Feyd-Rautha snaps his hips, driving him deeper into your mouth instead.
He pants his appreciation, clearly undeterred by your teeth.
You gag on his size. He refuses to ease up, however, pushing his cock deeper into the back of your throat. With each thrust, saliva builds, leaking from the sides of your mouth and wetting his shaft. You have no way to retaliate, to pull away, forced to endure him.
He withdraws long enough to show you the glint of pre-cum on his cock, how he spreads it across the head before burrowing it inside you again. The taste of his pre-cum is salty, mixing with your blood, and you can no longer deny your own arousal — you clamp your lips on his cock and suck, using your tongue to circle the salty mixture over it.
Feyd-Rautha releases a rumbling, guttural moan, hips bucking violently. “That’s right,” he rasps. “Take it.” He ignores your strangled pleas as he pushes himself deeper and deeper within you, tears now streaming down your face and cutting tracks through the sandy grime. He pulls out only to insert himself again, in and out, fucking your throat.
You’re unable to touch yourself, or him, and it makes the entire act that much more torturous. You apply this frustration with your mouth, sucking his considerable length every time he jams it past your lips, your mouth and jaw aching with the furious nature of the fucking.
Feyd-Rautha closes his eyes and loses himself in your slick mouth. He has just laid waste to your people and now you were taking him like the good little rat you were, a renegade whore, letting him force his cock down your throat and you were actually enjoying it.
Without warning, Feyd-Rautha withdraws from you, stroking his shaft and positioning himself before you. “Open,” he demands.
You obey and as soon as you do, warm sprays of his ink-colored cum soak your face. He jerks himself through his orgasm, breathy and primal, smooth brows furrowed in concentration. You breathe heavily, shoulders heaving, greedily drawing the air back into your lungs. It’s then that Feyd-Rautha drags his gloved fingers across your face, smearing his cum then pushing his fingers back into your mouth. You lick and slurp down his seed, languishing in the taste of him, unlike anything you’ve had before.
To offer your expense to a Fremen is to offer your life’s water. You don’t know if he realizes this, or even cares, he just watches you as you suck his gloved fingers clean.
Feyd-Rautha does know this sacrifice, this offering, and thinks it a just trade for what he’s prepared to do. He rights himself, fixing his armor. “Strange, what you wish to comply with,” he says. He leaves you like that — bound and covered with his cum, vulnerable — and as he vanishes around the corner you hear him call out, “Dispose of the rat.”

“No!” I yell cutting him of “you don’t get to fucking blow up on me when I come down here asking if you ok that’s not how this fucking works!” you yelled, the stress from the ordeal upstairs and now him blowing up on you like that had caused a split to start. “Y/n-”Jasper start to speak. “No fuck you!” You we’re beyond pissed, when you had a your mood could go from 0-1000 really quickly.
You turn away going to open the door that when back in to the house he tried to grab you’re arm to talk to you and turn around to yell back in response. “Don’t fucking touch me right now!” you continued through the door up the stairs going to the living room.
Once in the living room you see Esme holding Liam on her knee on the couch. “Are you alright?” Esme asked in her sweet mothery tone. “Um y-yeah I’m fine,um Esme do you think it would be alright if you watched him while I run to the dollar store really quick?” You asked rushed want to get out of the house to cool off and probably have a bit of a meltdown in the car. “Yes absolutely, take as long as you need dear” Esme said sweetly, because little know to you she and everyone else had heard your and Jaspers argument. “Ok thank you I’ll be back in a few minutes” you said as you walked down the steps to get the front door. You quickly put on your shoes and grabbing a jacket and Jasper car keys, you walked out.
Once you got in the car you turned it and plugged up your phone to the cars smart stereo. You selected your $uicideBoy$ playlist and turned up the volume until it drowned out your inner voice that kept telling you were a bad person, a bad girlfriend and a horrible mom and that you should just disappear and that jasper was probably gonna breakup with you and you would have to move out of the Cullens house and move back in with your dad and not have a car again. Soon the voice got to much and you pulled over to the side of the road and put on your flashers. You sat there for a good hour-hour and a half before stopping crying screaming/yelling and banging your hands against the steering wheel out of anger and frustration.
After completing calming down you looked at the time releasing how long you had actually been gone and started to wonder if anyone had texted,because you had put your phone on dnd. So you picked it up out of the cup holder and turned down your music a bit. When you looked at your phone you saw the Jasper had called you 15 times and text 25 text messages.
You sighed let out a whispered “fuck…FUCK!”, you put your phone back into its resting place, and begin to pull out, once you pulled out you cut off your flashers and headed to the dollar store. As you pull in to the parking lot,you to a couple deep breaths and flip your visor down to make sure you looked ok-ish. Once in the dollar store you couldn’t help but stroll into the baby section looking at all the cute onesies,toys, blankets, pillows, and stuffed animals. You’re heart ached at the fact you only had 15$ in your wallet, even though Carlisle and Esme had both told you they didn’t care to pay for things for the baby, you were hesitant…only because you hated taking money and help from other people.
So you bought Liam new pack of pacifiers, a bib and a stuffed chicken. The bib was blue and had a giraffe on it, the pacifiers had stars and moons on them, and the chicken was well, a stuffed chicken. You payed for everything and headed to the car. Once you get settled in the car you headed back to the Cullens house. As you pulled in the driveway you saw Jasper was on his balcony with a sour look on his face.
When you walked the door you could hear Edward laughing at Rosalie, he always laughs at her when she baby talks with Liam. It wasn’t necessary but you announced your self “I’m home!” You yelled in a sing songy voice as you laid the keys in to the dish they rested in, and taking off your shoes and coat. Walking up the stairs you heard Liam squealing out in laughter, “hey bubby, mommy got you some stuff at the store” you said in baby voice with a smile on your face. “Has he ate yet, I left a bottle in the fridge?” You asked Esme. “Uh yeah Jasper feed him a few minutes ago” she said almost hesitated to mention his name. “Ok,um..where is Jasper?” You asked looking around not seeing him anywhere. “He’s up your guys room, he’s stayed up there for a while until Liam started crying when he got hungry.” Edward said coldly, as if I had taken too long or it was an inconvenience that Liam was here and he has gotten fussy.
“Ok, I’m gonna go talk to him about earlier. Rose do you have him?” I asked. “Yeah I’ve got him take as long as you guys need” she said with a smile.
Once you got up stairs you stared at your and jasper’s bedroom door for a good five minutes, there were a million thoughts run through you head, he’s gonna break up with you, he’s gonna yell…he could hit you like your ex used to…you felt sick, you felt bile rise in your throat, burning it. You swallowed heavily and finally knocked on the door, you heard a low “come in.” You walked in the door pressing your back against it to try and ground yourself. “Jas-” “Don’t..”he cut you off before you could even get his name out. He spoke in a rushed tone as if he was holding his voice back, he stood on the balcony looking at the sky. “Do you know how worried I was!? You were gone for over 2 hours, I thought something happened the only reason I didn’t go looking for you is because of Liam!” He finally spoke clearly but when he did it came out in a yell.
You felt tears brim you’re eyes you’re nose started to burn, and you’re throat went dry. When you went to speak the words wouldn’t form all that was a sob. It sounded as if the air was trapped in your lungs. “I-I know I’m sorry, just get it over with…please I want to go see Liam, an-and Edward is already pissed at me,cause the baby was fussy a-and I known I’m a bad girlfriend and a bad mom and I’ma-shitty p-person all around! I’m sorry just get it over with please.” You stuttered and rambled out as tears streamed down your face and as you finished your sentence you began to slide down the door and started to hyperventilate. “I know I’m a pain in the ass a-and I’m sorry! I’m so sorry! I know you could do so much better, you could have someone that’s skinny and pretty like Bella o-or Alice!” When you continued on your rant Jasper’s mood changed quickly.
He rushed over to you as you sat with your back against the door banging you head against it trying to stop the yelling in your head, that little voice in your head that told you Liam deserved better, that he deserved a mother like Esme or Rosalie that was put together and had it all figured out. “Sugar look at me, please come on don’t do that you’re gonna hurt yourself.” Jasper spoke in a soft sweet tone, putting his hands behind your head to soften the blows you were giving yourself as you hit you head. “No! Why aren’t you screaming or hitting me? Get mad! Get mad at me Damnit!” you screamed through your tears. As you screamed the last part you hit his chest as hard as you could. “D-do something…tell ho-how I’m a bad mom o-or, how I’m never gonna be good enough for you, or you’re fucking perfect family!”
Sobs shook your body as jasper looked at you as if he didn’t hear you. “Look at me…please doll look at me.” He begged you as you sobbed hanging your head low, picking at the skin around your fingers. You finally shook your head, so you had left him no choice. He pulled you into his lap as he sat in the floor beside you. “Baby…I need you to look at me…please” he said softly with is thick Southern draw. Jasper sat there for what felt like an eternity, before he realized that you were shutting down. His worst nightmare was coming true he was losing you. He couldn’t lose you. He pressed pressed a firm kiss on your hair line, as he mumbled in to your hair line. “Doll please don’t shut me out. I can’t loose you y/n,I can’t” As he spoke softly you could hear his voice breaking at the end of his sentence.
Jasper sat with you straddling his thighs for almost two and a half hours. You head was against his chest, your breathing had finally calmed down. Jasper’s hands ran up and down your sides and back. You still refused to look at him. “Hey darling, you still with me?” Jasper questioned slowly stopping his hands. You shook your head in to his chest. “Alright, do you want to talk?” Jasper asked hesitantly. You shook your head,feeling tear prick your eyes once more.
Then Jaspers phone vibrated against the floor where it sat beside you both. He leaned to pick it up from its resting place. It was a message from Esme.
Esme :Liam is asleep if you want to come get him or I could bring him upstairs but if you and Y/n aren’t done talking then I keep him down here with me and Carlisle.
Jasper sat his phone back on “Do you want me to go get the baby and bring him up here or do you want to leave down there while we talk?” Jasper asked as he began running his hands down your sides again. “Can you bring him up here.” You said in a scratchy voice, from all the crying and yelling. “Ok,I’ll be right back darling,you want anything from downstairs?”
This is my teaser let me know what y’all think !

Just finished S1 of The Wheel of Time
First of all.. this is the plot of this fucking show so far:
Moiraine: *saves the town, rands dad, the whole group multiple times, Mat, literally everyone multiple times (getting injured & almost dying) - goes to her death to stand w Rand against the dark one, stays patient with them despite the continuous disrespect and causing problems*
Them: (mostly Nynaeve and Rand) : “shE CANT BE TRUSTED, SHE IS EVIL, DONT LISTEN TO HER, WE CAN HANDLE ALL OF THIS OURSELVES! EVERYTHING IS HER FAULT”
Anyway, on with my thoughts, some of it will prolly be controversial lol
I really expected to grow to like Nynaeve but fuck if she isn’t pissing me off every other episode if not every single one, like bro shut up and listen
Moiraine & Lan stay my favorites & I am obsessed with the relationship between Aes Sedai and their Warder(s)!! I wish there was more focus on it, it’s the most interesting plot point to me
On that, I LOVE watching fight scenes with the Aes Sedai & their warder(s)! The way they move in sync around each other, for example the town fight in ep1 w Lan & Moiraine + the battle in the woods when Alanna and her warders are fighting! As she went to do a huge explosion they both took slight cover just in time - knowing her moves as she did them
Egwene is prob my favorite of the group of 5, she actually listens to reason & doesn’t just jump to conclusions/throw a tantrum. And her little backstory about the fever when she was a kid? Amazing, it gives such a look into her strength
^ like I said I like her a lot but ARE YOU KIDDING? She didn’t kill child psycho when she had a chance??
Wolves are one of my fave animals so I’m loving this situation w Perrin
THOM???!!!! I loved him??
I called the dragon literally from the beginning but I like that I was right, it fits well and I like the way they came out with it.
I hate Liandrin with a passion, like I wanted someone to just throw a single punch. And ik she gets worse.
Also Mat needs to stop being such a problem like listen my guy, find some chill. Also do I ship him and Rand? Yes tf I do, fight me
So I find the dynamic of Moiraine & Lan with the Lan/Nynaeve interesting. Like as her wander she is more to him than any other relationship — but he’s falling in love with Nynaeve. So I wonder about that, I’m sure that later in the show he’ll have to choose at some point between helping/saving one of them. And with how much Nynaeve dislikes and is rude to Moiraine rn….
Loial is PRECIOUS TO ME. Love and adore him, I screamed when he was stabbed fuck this noise
I need Nynaeve to stop pissing me tf off please and thank you. I want to like her, esp if she’s gonna be with my mans. So she needs to fucking stop her bullshit. Stop making poor Moiraine’s life a million times more difficult than it already is while you’re at it. Like she wants so bad to be the wisest and the most powerful.. her pride is so dangerous.
I feel like every other episode Rand is pissing me off so bad but then I like him but then I want to knock him tf off. I’m hoping he will also stop being so damn frustrating in s2
The way Moiraine thought she’d die so she shut Lan out so he couldn’t follow her to his death - and she sent him to his fam & essentially pushed him toward Nynaeve bc she feels he deserves better and more than a life of protecting her.. I’m not okay
So pissed off with that ending ya’ll, esp when Moiraine losing her connection/powers
“To be a woman is to be always alone, and never alone.” CHILLS. Every single time
If I dislike a character you like, don’t come at me, I’m on ep1 of s2 right now, I’m sure my opinions will change many times as I continue.

Dating Jason Todd (Part Two)
fanfic type: angst, fluff, comfort (ongoing)
If you liked the Titans show but wish they handled Jason’s story line differently you might like this fic!
Hey so this is in fact my first time writing fanfiction (idk what my life has come to). Sorry if it’s cringy but also I would eat this up cause I LOVE some good angsty comfort fanfiction. I won’t write smut. I don’t think I’m gonna do requests but if you have any ideas feel free to let me know. Also of course I don’t own any DC characters this is purely fanfiction. Although I’ve had tumblr for a bit I’m not really used to posting stuff so sorry if I don’t format everything well. Thank you and I hope you enjoy. (I hope you like run-on sentences💀) (if you don’t like it don’t be rude just move on dude😃🧍‍♀️)
So story line, this doesn’t really take place in any specific universe but I’m gonna be pulling concepts from Titans, The Batman, Under the Red Hood, and whatever lore I remember from the CW shows cause I grew up watching those, then just my imagination of course. The beginning takes place when Jason is still Robin but he’s no longer apart of the titans. Reader is referred to as she/her btw.
Warnings: talking about death, suicide, depression, torture (it’s not graphic I hate gore it’s just sad)
Part Two: Fear and Love
You stood in Dick’s bedroom as he packed. “You can’t just leave me here,” you said.
“I have to go find Jason and you can’t come with me,” he says.
“You know I can help.”
“I also know joker is after you, if you came to Gotham we’d be giving joker exactly what he wants,” Dick says. “Come on I’ve gotta wake up the others before I leave to let them know Jason’s off to get himself killed.”
“Dick!” You say. He looks at you with that cold glare you’re oh so familiar with. “You need to promise me something,” you say seriously.
“I’m listening,” Dick says.
“And you can’t tell anyone I’m asking you to do this, especially not Jason,” you say. You and Dick were inches apart now, making eye contact so intense you could feel a shift in the energy of the room.
“What is it Y/N,” Dick says softly.
“I need you to protect Jason,” you begin saying.
“Y/N, you know him he’s impulsive and if he wants to do something nobody can-“ you cut him off.
Teary eyed you say, “I know, but if anything happens to him I won’t forgive myself…and I won’t forgive you. Just promise me you’ll do your best.”
“I promise Y/N” Dick says. His voice is cold yet soft, almost like he wants to say more but is stopping himself.
Dick woke everyone up and told the team Jason had gone to Gotham.
“Idiot,” Kori said.
“Literally took the words out of my mouth but unfortunately he’s my problem,” Dick glances at you, “Our problem.”
“Should anyone go with you?” Gar asks.
“No, I want you guys to stick together,” he says to Kori, Gar and Rachel. “And keep an eye on Y/N.” Dick adds.
That sentence pissed you off. He starts to leave and as he walks past you say, “I don’t need a fucking babysitter.” This was one of the times Dick realized why you got along with Jason so well. Dick leaves and you immediately head for Jason’s room.
You start searching for any note he might’ve left you. After you look in his room you go tear apart your own trying to find any message or hint Jason left you. Ten minutes later you find a folded piece of notebook paper under your pink baseball cap that says “Chicago”. Jason had bought the hat for you after you found out he was Robin.
Y/N, I’m sorry for leaving you alone but right now you being as far away from me and Gotham is the safest thing for you. Stay at the tower, even though it pains me to say it, I know Dick will keep you safe, and hell if he fails then pretty sure our friends with sunlight, darkness and animal transforming powers will be enough to protect you. Don’t come looking for me, I’d never forgive myself if anything happened to you. I’ll be back in no time.
With love -Jay
You called Jason…he didn’t answer. You called Dick…he answered.
“What’s up,” Dick said.
“I will stay at the tower on one condition,” you say.
“Let’s hear it,” Dick says.
“Call me with updates and if anything drastic happens don’t wait till everything’s fine to tell me, I don’t care if it’s bad news or good news I just can’t be in the dark,” you say.
“Of course,” Dick says.
It had been three hours, no calls from Dick, radio silence from Jason, Barbra had no news, even Alfred knew nothing. You had exhausted everyone you possibly could have asked when suddenly you remembered one more person. Jason’s best friend, not you, not Gar, Roy Harper. You didn’t have his number but you had his girlfriend Thea’s. Thea Queen also known as a close friend of yours who happens to be the sister of Oliver Queen, the arrow.
“Thea hey I’m kinda having a crisis,” you say.
“Oh? What’s going on?” She said with a mixture of valley girl and New York accent.
“Jokers been leaving threats against Jason and I around Gotham and he’s gone without me and nobody can find him…so I was wondering if Roy has heard anything?” You asked.
“Oh my god, I have no idea but here I’ll put him on the phone,” she said.
“Hello?” Roy says.
“Hey do you know Jason’s missing?” You say.
“I do now, what’s going on?” He says.
“Jokers been leaving notes around Gotham threatening Jason and I, Jason left last night to go by himself even though him and Dick were meant to go together. He doesn’t have a tracker but we’re positive he’s gone to Gotham to try and find joker alone.” “So he’s not called you or anything?”
“Wow…no this is the first I’m hearing any of this, so where are you now?” Roy asks.
“Titans tower in San Francisco,” you say.
“Okay I will try to get ahold of Jason and actually if he has the wallet I gave him there’s actually a tracker in there…I didn’t know it was there when I gave it to him, courtesy of Oliver’s failed attempt at tracking me but I’ll try to see if I can find him.”
“Okay thank you so much, call me back as soon as you can,” you say. Twenty minutes pass and you hear a knock on the door. You open it to see Rachel with a plate of food.
“Can I come in?” She asks.
“Course yeah,” you say.
“So how are you doing…sorry that’s a stupid question” Rachel says.
“No it’s okay, I’m doing umm…I mean I’ve been better,” you laugh nervously. “I just wish he accepted Dick’s help and didn’t go off by himself.”
“Yeah,” she says to let you know she’s listening.
“And I understand why he did it you know it’s not because he’s got anything against Dick or Bruce or titans despite what everyone thinks, he just wants to be good enough. I wish he understood getting help and working with others doesn’t mean you’re weak and incapable.” You say. Just as Rachel’s about to say something your phone rings. It’s Dick.
“What’s happened?” You say quickly.
“The cops are all here, we’re at that abandoned amusement park near the pier. Jason’s not here but we think he was. There’s blood, it’s not a concerning amount…we’re sending it over to the lab. We pretty much know it was him though cause said blood is on playing cards,” Dick says.
“Shit,” you say. “Okay wait so I called Roy and he said there’s a tracker in Jason’s wallet so if it’s on him and it still works he’s gonna call me,” you say.
“Okay call me when-“ Dick gets cut off when Roy calls you. You pick up quickly.
“The wallets at some random street in Gotham…” when Roy gives you the street name you immediately recognize it as where Poison Ivy kidnapped you a couple years ago.
“Okay thank you I’m gonna call Dick,” you say. You call Dick and put him on speaker.
“The wallets at 345 Ribbon St,” you say.
“We’re on our way,” Dick says.
I hope you guys liked part two🫡🩷 Please like the fic if you enjoyed it and want to see more cause I’ve got a whole storyline and backstory and many more ideas and want to know people are enjoying my writing.

Transformers One: Is It Good Or Nah?
Tumblr media
Hello, hola、こんにちは。So…it’s been 84 years since I’ve last written on this side of the Hundred Acre Woods. For that, I do deeply apologize for my absence aksksksjsjsj. Anyways…so the Transformers franchise, in terms of the movies, has a very shaky history.
We all know the Transformers movies; it’s pretty known by now that the movies are just a rollercoaster of quality. For every Bumblebee, there will always be a Revenge of The Fallen. When it comes to me specifically, I have a very complicated relationship with this aspect of the franchise for a better part of my life. The original G1 movie is okay. The first movie is alright, ROTF is Satan’s spawn, DOTM is good, AOE is a chaotic mess that I both hate and love, and the less said about TLK, the better. Then, a miracle happened in the form of Bumblebee (2018) and it sets the path of redemption for these movies. It continues with Rise of The Beasts and while it’s an 8/10 movie for me, it’s still a great movie that continues the momentum. Now, it brings us to today.
I wanna bring this up before talking about Transformers One because you will not believe me when I say that this movie is EVEN BETTER THAN LITERALLY EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE FILM SERIES. YES, IT OUTDID EVEN THE GREATEST TRANSFORMERS MOVIES BY A FREAKING LANDSLIDE. JUST…how did we even get a movie like this? The fact that it exists is truly the most mind boggling, yet pleasant surprise so far in the series to date. Words cannot describe the experience I have gone through at this moment. Just…what did we do to get something this incredible and this damn good. Amazing is an understatement; Transformers One is easily the best Transformers movie to date.
The way it gives us genuinely some of the best moments in Transformers history is an indicator of the majesty they wanted to make. Sure, no movie is truly perfect. However, for this one, the amount of things to discuss and think about is something that rivals even the most complex media such as Earthspark and Animated. So what am I doing here standing around for? Let's talk about a movie about two bros chilling in an Energon mine, five feet apart cause they’re not gay! :D
For this review…I’m going to give this movie’s pacing the respect it deserves (due to how crucial it is to the story) by highlighting the most important details I want to talk about in order. After we get the nitpicks and other good stuff out of the way, I’m so excited to unleash all the inner brainworks in my head at the moment. So let’s goooooo.
3, 2, 1, Pingu.
(Also, I will be going into spoilers, so Sparknotes version: it’s a rare 10/10. ✨)
Tumblr media
The Good, The Bad, and The Badassitron
Tumblr media
Let’s go get the nitpicks out of the way. I say nitpicks because they thankfully don’t drag down the movie for me. First things first: I wish that the main trio of Decepticons (Doritoscream, Soundwave, and Shockwave’s boobs) play a much bigger role here. I felt like how we got from Starscream in charge to now all of sudden loyal to Megatron after having the crap beaten out of him is where the movie could benefit from a few minutes more to the runtime. To me, their loyalty to Megatron by the end is something that needs to be earned. However, like I said, it didn’t bring the movie down for me because they’re not the focus here, The focus is on Megatron’s relationship with Optimus. We’ll get there when we get there. Bee’s fine for what he is, but I feel like he can be cut out of the movie and replaced with someone else. The story would be as it is, like he really doesn’t have much of a reason to be here. However, like I said, he’s fine for what he is. The only other nitpick I have is that it’s weird that the Quintessons have little to no direct involvement in the main conflict, since it’s their rule that led to this mess in the first place. However, since we’re getting two more movies, I’m curious to see how this is gonna play out in the future. Anyways, that’s all I have to say about the issues I have with the movie, so let’s get to the good stuff…EVERYTHING ELSE.
Oh my god, the music score? Easily among my favorite scores in Transformers media to date. The way it not only incorporates music from shows such as Transformers Prime so beautifully, but it gives the world so much life and majesty that is straight out of a Biblical epic. The ending song at the credits reminds me so much of On My Soul, just what an utter bop. Of course, I also need to mention the biggest highlight of this movie…the animation. Oh my god, this movie is utterly gorgeous. Not only are the settings so vibrant and brimming with life and personality, but I absolutely adore the facial expressions on the characters. I’m glad that it’s emotive enough to not fall into the Uncanny Valley, and the characters felt so real. I especially love Orion’s facial expressions, because of how well they convey his growing heartbreak and loss of innocence over the course of the story that we’ll discuss later here. Overall, the music and animation are good enough reasons why you need to see this movie on the big screen. Just…MMMMMMM. Delicious food.
The characters are also really likable and enduring. I wasn’t sure if I was gonna like Badassitron going in, but honestly, he’s a Bumblebee done well. He has plenty of funny moments and jokes, and I like how they don’t have him make quips during the more serious moments here and there. He is the comic relief done right. I’m pleasantly surprised by how they handle Elita’s character. At first, based on the promos, she seems to be the Ultra Serious Girlboss who girlbosses her way into the Elita One we all know and love. However, as it turns out, it’s revealed that she’s a neurotic, yet well meaning dork and I love that for her akskssk. I especially love how her relationship with Orion develops over time as they went to find the One Piece. She went from being irritated with his tendency to cause mischief at work and ignoring protocols to warming up to him because of his resilience and optimism (no pun intended) of their people being freed. Honestly, it’s so refreshing to see a flawed, yet likable Elita here and she’s perhaps one of my favorite iterations so far. Moving on, and oh man…where do we even begin with our good buddy Sentinel Prime. Not only is he one of the evil ass motherfuckers in the franchise so far, but he is a fantastic main villain. Just seeing this despicable bastard manipulate his way into power makes you love to hate him, he’s also pretty funny, and the way he poses a threat to our heroes provides enough interesting groundwork for the conflict between two of our main amigos. Also, shoutout to Jon Hamm. He did an excellent job at portraying Sentinel as this smug, arrogant little bitch. Just, amazing. And speaking of portrayals, the entire voice cast did an amazing job here. You can tell how much they clearly respect the characters they’re portraying while also breathing new life into them. This is what animation studios need to do; hire actors that suit the characters well DAMMIT. Other positives I have is the amount of neat cameos of our favorite blorbos in the background, the comedic timing is excellent thanks to the voice actors’ deliveries and banter with each other, and in spite of the darker tone the more it progresses, it also has a very cozy, fun feel to it due to one of the movie’s main central themes. And speaking of themes…this is where we will end the section here.
Now…I am saving the best for last. What I mean by that is that there are two characters that manage to be my favorite aspect of the movie overall. So…let’s go talk about them.
A Tale of Two Friends:
Tumblr media
I’m struggling to use the right words to describe how I feel about Orion and Megatron. To me…they’re the true standouts in the movie for me. Their relationship is portrayed with so much care and gravity that they both felt like real people. Not only are they both likable and charming, but seeing their relationship break apart over the course of the movie is hauntingly beautiful and tragic. Trust me, it’s not the shipper speaking here. It’s so refreshing to see them together in the big screen for the first time since The Last Knight, but it’s also so interesting seeing them in a different light than what other Transformers media did. I’m starting in the order of the movie because the movie’s pacing is perfect. Every scene connects to each other perfectly and it makes room for the wild ride we’re in for.
First, let’s start with Orion.
Tumblr media
We start the movie off with Orion breaking into the Iaconian Hall of Records and search for anything on the status of the One Piece. Then, he gets caught by some guards and a chase ensues. Right away, we get a good idea of his mischievous, yet curious personality and his determination to discover more about the surface world. He won’t take no for an answer and while it does lead to him getting in trouble often, it’s genuinely admirable to see him have the initiative to make the best of his situation in life. Then, right before he gets caught, Megatron comes in with a cart that serves as a distraction for Orion to slip away and they both head to work.
Tumblr media
Right off the bat, we see that Megatron is the more relaxed, more cautious out of the two. He tries his best to stay out of trouble and to keep his good ol unhinged buddy alive due to his wacky shenanigans. At the same time, he also has the same kind of energy he shares with Orion in that they both keep their heads up in spite of their circumstances. Adding to the layers is Orion bringing him the Fallen sticker, which is how we get a good idea of how much they care for each other. True, they have their own frustrations with each other. Megatron is frustrated by Orion’s tendency to get in trouble, along with not recognizing his discomfort with some of the things he drags him into such as the Iacon 5000, and Orion is frustrated by Megatron keeping his head down to avoid trouble. However, they always have each other’s back and they are each other’s equals.
We also see that they’re both kindhearted people who will stand up for the little guy through risking their lives to save Jazz from the collapsing Energon mine, even though it resulted in Elita being demoted. From the start, their desire to make their world a better place is set in stone there. This is furthered strengthened by Orion standing up for Elita by flipping off Darkwing and both him and Megatron needing some milk afterwards. Also, quick side note: Orion’s sass and dynamics with the other characters is so damn refreshing. I love how he literally has no chill in speaking what’s on his mind, and I especially adore how he interacts with Elita. Pure malewife material aksksksz.
Back on track, he then drags Megatron into the Iacon 5000 so that they can prove themselves to be just as worthy as the upper class racers in the game. As they fly through the race track with mere jet packs, their fellow miners cheer for them and they were pretty close to finishing in first place had it not been for the combo of an injury Megatron got and the first place winner coming in. I’m not gonna reveal who won the race, but let me say that who won it is a pleasant surprise. Anyways, this earned the attention of Sentinel Prime and he went down to their recovery ward to personally congratulate them on their boldness in participating. He even offers them a nice ol place in his crib, which they might've accepted if Darkwing didn’t throw them down into Undertale due to his jealousy and anger. Throughout this scene, we see Orion and Megatron being validated by the Prime they’ve admired for so long for breaking out of the status quo and it lays the foundation for later on. Eventually, they met Bee, found the map to the One Piece, and ventured into the surface world while accidentally dragging Elita along for the ride. Pretty landscapes and peril later, they end up in the cave where the bodies of de Primes are at. They wake up Alpha Trion and he reveals the bitter truth:
Uh oh, it turns out Sentinel Prime is a LIAR and that he betrayed the Primes in order to be in charge of the Cybertronian population. Here…we see the innocent viewpoints of Orion and Megatron shattered permanently from here on out. While Orion reacts with anger as he should, Megatron is utterly furious with this horrific revelation. The Prime he has admired for so long, the Prime who just gave him an opportunity to move upwards just minutes ago…turns out to be a cowardly, spineless fraud that took away their autonomy to having basically a crucial organ in their bodies and to make choices for themselves. It isn’t helped by Sentinel giving up the Energon (that they risked their lives in mining for) to the very evil overlords that are responsible for their people being this way for so many generations.
What happens back in the cave is one of three excellent scenes that is borderline uncomfortable due to how realistic it is. We see Megatron essentially having a mental breakdown from finding out his life is a lie and Sentinel is a big stinker. When Orion tries to calm him down, he finally vents to him about his frustrations with Orion’s tendency to cause trouble over the years and calls him out for not thinking before acting on his impulses. It also helps that we see his patience starting to be worn thin earlier in the recovery ward and when Darkwing threw them both in the Undertale. Then, he finishes his breakdown with one simple, yet effective confession: he doesn’t want to just take Sentinel down…he wants to kill him. To say that hearing Megatron say this left me and the theater in shock is a massive understatement. It genuinely caught me off guard, but in a good way. We finally saw Megatron at his breaking point: his entire life, including being worked to death, has been for nothing. It’s a great scene because it’s an argument where you understand both perspectives here. You understand Orion’s bewilderment at Megatron’s unhinged behavior and wanting him to take a deep breath so he can clear his head while you also understand Megatron finally having enough of being a doormat for too long and Orion putting his own wants before others. Neither side is right and wrong, and I appreciate how Orion’s and Megatron’s emotions are valid here. From this point on, all hell breaks loose.
Tumblr media
After they gain their T-cogs and the recording to cancel Sentinel on Twitter by Alpha Trion, the main amigos enjoy the euphoria of transforming for the first time. However…we see Megatron enjoying the euphoria of having the T-cog too much. After fighting off one of Sentinel’s soldiers, he forcibly takes the callout post and vows to make Sentinel pay for his crimes. When Orion tries to protest, Megatron coldly tells him to step aside or else there’ll be a problem between them. Orion’s expression here is why I love his facial expressions the most as mentioned earlier. You can see all the thoughts he’s having right now, especially the shock of seeing his best friend giving into his darker thoughts expressed back at the cave. Now, the coin is flipped. Orion is the sensible, level headed one of the two while Megatron is the impulsive, stubborn one that he always scolds Orion for being so in earlier scenes.
As they make their way back home, they ended up captured by some Decepticons and are being interrogated by Starscream and his band of mean girls. When Megatron walks away from the interrogation nonchalantly, Starscream tries to assert himself as the leader. However, it ended up breaking into a fight that quickly went HOLY FUCKING SHIT, HE NEEDS SOME MILK when Megatron overpowers him. We see a horrified Orion in the crowd and they can only look at each other. Their friendship will never be the same after that…especially now that Megatron finally got a taste of power that’s been denied to him all his life. I know that this is probably gonna be a point of contention for some people with how Megatron’s turn to the Dark Side is portrayed here, so let me provide this perspective:
How long did Megatron have these thoughts?
Given presumably how many times he had to bust Orion out of trouble, and having to keep quiet just to stay alive, you have to wonder how long he kept quiet about his frustrations and hidden rage at the circumstances of his life. From that angle, giving into his intrusive thoughts is inevitable. He just needed the push to act on them. Essentially…the poor guy needed therapy, and sadly, there are no therapists on Cybertron. 😔
Eventually, Megs and Badassitron got captured along with Starscream and several other Decepticons by Airachnid. It’s now up to Orion and Elita to team up with the remaining Decepticons left and YOU GOTTA HELP US. Here, we see Orion finally realize how badly he screwed up for not understanding how his actions affected the people he cares about over the years. It got through his head that he didn’t appreciate Megatron’s patience and willingness to protect him from the consequences. While he means well, he doesn’t realize how selfish he’s also being with the things he does in his overactive ways. Upon realizing this, he takes responsibility for the amigos being in this mess…a mess that happened because of him. That was his mistake. He is now left with no choice but to go forward and make things right by his friend and the people they love. Then…we get another one incredible scene and that is Elita’s pep talk to him.
Tumblr media
While it starts off a bit comedic due to how this is clearly Elita’s first time with cheering someone up and Orion pointing it out, it then leads to her expressing how she always admire his optimism towards a better future for their kind and his refusal to back down in the face of struggle. It’s the embodiment of the movie’s most important message: having hope even when the odds are against you. That fact that we have such a strong theme in a turbulent era we’re in at the moment is why this scene works so well. Change starts with one person, and then becomes bigger and stronger when they continue to fight against injustice and inspire others to do the same. Thus, Elita’s pep talk gave Orion the drive to get back up and keep moving forward by teaming up with the Decepticons, go back to Iacon, and free their buddies. The theme is furthered strengthened by Orion rallying the other miners into helping him, as he now has the power to make things better for his people.
Quick side note, but Elita is an interesting foil to Megatron’s in terms of how they react to Orion’s unhinged sassy king energy. While she’s also annoyed by his tendency to get in trouble a lot, she has also admire his ability to remain optimistic even with their shitty conditions. Once he takes responsibility for his decisions, she softens up towards him and she remains his dearest friend by the end. In contrast, by the time he has apologized for his mistakes, it’s too late for Megatron. It’s clear that these two are what shaped Orion into Optimus, for better and for worst.
Meanwhile, Megatron gets tortured by Sentinel after repeatedly defying him. Then, he gets the Decepticon symbol carved painfully into his chest by the blue son of a bitch. That essentially became the straw that broke the camel’s back and it ultimately drove Megatron into a point of no return. After the other main amigos rescued the other amigos and a ROBOT FIGHT occurs, Megatron now has the opportunity to finally show Sentinel that his day of reckoning has come. Now, he must die. However, after putting the callout post on Twitter, Orion realizes what his bestie is about to do and tries to stop him. However, Megatron quickly overpowers him and prepares the final blow to Sentinel. Then…what happened next left me and the entire theater in stunned silence for a good few minutes up until one point. At first, I thought to myself:
“Ain’t no way he’s gonna do this. There’s no way they’re bold enough to have Megatron do this.”
But then…it happened. The shot from the fusion cannon meant for Sentinel ended up hitting Orion instead, sending him flying near the entrance to the planet’s core and hanging on for dear life. The moment he cries out to Megatron for help…I bursted into tears right there. His innocent perspective has been destroyed permanently, and he’s now a broken shell of his formerly spunky self. To add more salt to the wound, Megatron reaches for him…only for him to declare that he’s done saving him from trouble after one too many times. Then, he sent him falling into the core. Megatron has crossed the line, and with eyes now red with hate and pain, he finally killed Sentinel in front of a now devoted group of followers who will obey his every word. He has now become the person he has sworn to destroy…
As that’s going on, Orion’s broken, lifeless body is gently brought down inside of the core and it’s revealed that he is the one who is destined to receive the One Piece…aka, the Matrix of Leadership. Thus, he is now reborn as the Optimus Prime we all know and love. The use of a theme from the G1 movie is the cherry on top of an utterly haunting, yet powerful scene that needs to be seen on the big screen.
After he has risen and put an end to Megatron’s madness, he decides that the best option for them both is banishing Megatron and his followers from Iacon. The fact that he chose this option instead of simply killing his former best friend really speaks a lot about not only his character, but also how much their relationship has essentially been ruined by how different they are in terms of wanting change. Alas, Megatron goes off into the sunset with his followers and Optimus is left there…mourning the death of their once great bond. When it showed a memory of how they met afterwards, it made me sobbed uncontrollably. At this point, you’re left with one question:
Will they ever go back to where they were at before?
Thus, we end on a bittersweet ending…an ending of two former friends who were torn apart by the sins of the fathers and the aftermath of said sins. All there’s left to do is wait and hope that everything will be okay soon.
Tumblr media
Overall…Orion and Megatron are what makes the movie for me. Their chemistry, their character development, and the phenomenal performances of Chris Hemsworth and Brian Tyree Henry are what makes them the most layered, most complex iterations of the characters respectively.
Conclusion: IT’S SO GOOD, YOU GUYS.
Tumblr media
Words cannot describe how Transformers One is a phenomenal love letter to the franchise I hold very dear to my heart since I was a kid. Overall, this is a fantastic movie that you will love.
It has phenomenal characters, gorgeous animation, an amazing score, and a powerful story of how you have the power to change the world and make it better. For the very first time since Cyberverse, I award the very rare 10/10 to this film.
Please check it out. I applaud everyone involved in this project for making it a beautiful work of art for the fans. It is indeed more than meets the eye.

I’m bored so here’s user jacarandaaaas hot takes rapid fire round
- I don’t think camilo is an asshole who’s heartless and I hate content that portrays him as such
- pepa is not a bad parent because of one 5 second scene where camilo comforts her
- julietas trauma is undermined a lot of the time and compared to her daughters
- comparing the characters trauma is weird
- i don’t think isabela is crazy violent post movie and would hate to be seen that way
- luisa is an introvert
- I don’t like the take that bruno avoided the kids pre movie I actually think he would spend more time with them than the adults
- I hate parentified mirabel. she’s 15 let her have fun she does not need to babysit people who are all older than her
- on another note yall undermine mirabel too much just because she has trauma but so does every other character. mirabel is not the only one who is traumatized and her trauma doesn’t make her any less capable than anyone else.
- isabela is smarter than she’s given credit for
- luisa is the most feminine out of the sisters but y’all discredit that because she has muscles even tho the movie has an entire song about how she wants to be seen as more than that.
- dolores can be fun
- camilo is watered down to being just “crazy” but y’all ignore how caring and considerate he is too just cause he’s a teenage boy
- let mirabel say fuck
- this one isn’t even a hot take anymore but none of the characters are perfect and that includes Bruno
- talking about bruno I hate when he’s shown to be completely incompetent at everything
- same with mirabel
- I think it takes a lot of time for isabela to fully embrace imperfection as we saw after wecid how fast she reverted back
- alma is not evil or villainous at all but people have a right to be upset at how she acted (the movie makes this a point she does say mean things) her actions are understandable not inexcusable
- going from one toxic dynamic to a different toxic dynamic doesn’t make it any less toxic (codependency)
- isabela and mirabels relationship is mutually strained
- luisa wasn’t a good sister just because she ignored mirabel instead of belittling her
- mirabel was just as ignorant as everyone else and I’m tired of y’all acting like she knew the whole time when she didn’t
- pepa never hated bruno and y’all didn’t understand wdtab
- LET MIRABEL BE FUN AND SILLY
- antonio wouldn’t abandon mirabel for his animals he already loved animals premovie anyways
- isabela is a huge softie and I hate how overlooked that aspect of her is
- luisa never hated isabela
- dolores never intended on ruining isabelas proposal she just heard a prophecy that everyone’s lives were gonna be ruined and was terrified
- mirabel has friends
- luisa is a grown woman who is capable of doing things for herself
- I think camilo was the most distant when bruno came back but after a while they became really close
- mirabel is brunos fav i mean come on she literally saved his life
- i don’t think pedro is given enough respect
uh yeah that’s all I have for now lmao

“The hellhounds originated from Gluttony and Beelzebub created them that’s why she looks like that. She’s suppose to be like the animal tamer of Lucifer’s circus.”
Okay but like Viv, none of that is made clear in your actual show. People had to actively ask if she was suppose to be the one and only Beelzebub and now your relying on Twitter fans to make theories on why your characters look certain ways or are allowed to do certain things, people who don’t follow you on social media aren’t gonna know shit about how this world works. I like subtle world building and hints, and I think the ideas of Beelzebub representing an animal tamer is fun (even if wrath makes more sense to me), but when the rules of how the hierarchy system and rings work is already so confusing and relies entirely on you looking it up online it just looks like you wanted to make another random furry design. Why are hellhounds represented by gluttony? We were never shown an instance of this before and the episode doesn’t even say that they’re in the gluttony ring at the start (which is just another Earth with a yellow sky this time how creative).
I’m not saying I want the show to spoon feed us everything, but just a little context and set up in the actual show instead of random things just happening all the time with no explanation would be nice? Like yeah it might get explained more later on in Hazbin, but why then did you make this entire spin-off show come out first taking place in these other locations and with these demon lords if you weren’t gonna set the ground rules of your universe for the audience? That’s exactly what’s causing people online to scramble to come up with explanations for you about why you have discrepancies like Tex and Beelzebub not being a big deal but Stolas and Blitz are, your relying entirely on diehard fans to wave away your shitty writing and world-building cause you never take even a single moment in your show to have a character say anything that would clew us in on how it all works. There’s too much exposition in writing, and then there’s never giving any so you just have to make guesses or listen in on streams to figure out what society your characters are even suppose to be navigating.
Also for the “A bee/fly would have been unoriginal and ugly, she doesn’t have to follow the Bible lore” people, have you considered the fact it’s just a messy design? Like I don’t even hate it on it’s own, she looks really pretty in the fanart I’ve been seeing. But putting aside the fact she’s just a wolf/fox girl, she has so many unnecessary markings, her actual hair combined with the honey hair looks so unnatural and awkward, the bug traits don’t stand out, her outfit is basically only a slight redesign of Loona’s and as people have pointed out makes no sense on her chest with the supposed undershirt. You just can’t tell what your suppose to be looking at when you first see her, it’s just noise, which is fine for an oc, but this is an actual animated show where your suppose to be communicating something. The problem isn’t she’s not fat, I’m glad they didn’t do that for her in a show with everyone else skinny it would’ve read bad, it’s that she only stands out because they slapped bright colors neon colors onto her, nothing about this design is clever. It’s just pretty aesthetics, no substance.
Tumblr media
Also I’m sorry, they could’ve made her entirely a bug and still have been hot, why are people assuming we are saying she should’ve been ugly when we say we wanted a more insect-like design? I’ve seen loads of gorgeous bug designs for Beelzebub, people aren’t disappointed cause she’s hot they’re disappointed cause it makes no sense.

MY VERONICA SAWYER
ooc: this is just a second intro post for literally everything i have written down in my notes for my Veronica… yay! occasionally updated (last updated march 24th)
under the cut because this is gonna be long.
! also quick disclaimer if ur one of my mains and feel like a headcannon between veronica and your character is a bit ooc and you want it changed or smth added just tell me lmao !
This is mainly the musical version. Barrett Wilbert Weed my beloved
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Born in 1972, birthday undecided for now.
She had a dog when she was younger (a gift from a relative that couldn’t keep it anymore.) Her parents absolutely were not prepared for the dog and were glad to get rid of it. Veronica was absolutely devastated to see the dog go, so as a compromise they got a cat believing it was an “easier pet.” And thus, JFK the cat.
JFK fucking hates JD btw. bro does not wanna be in the same room as him.
She has a younger sister named Melanie. Melanie is in freshman year currently. Veronica used to pull older sibling pranks on Melanie when they were younger, like making up random shit to scare her.
Younger side of her family, lots of older cousins.
As a kid, Veronica wanted to be a writer. She wrote a lot of stories which included diary entries for her characters. She didn’t want her characters to have the same hand writing as her, so thus began her quest to learn forgery.
During middle school she fell towards the bottom of the social ladder for being a FUCKING NERD (and a nobody). Veronica took this as a sign to dive deeper into her studies instead of trying to branch out with friends. By the start of high school, Martha was her only friend. She badly wished to be among the more popular kids because their lives were more enticing than the one she lived currently. Come junior year, she gave up on the chance of that ever happening and anticipated for her graduation. When the Heathers let her join, it came as a compete surprise.
Fell out with Martha after becoming a Heather :(
She picked up the habit of smoking and doing drugs/weed at parties shortly after becoming a Heather. This causes her brain to develop schizophrenia in her late teens and not early twenties.
Core beliefs: I’m a good person. Everyone can be good, they just choose not to. I’m the only sane person in this school.
Average height. Average body. Average middle class home. She dyes her hair brunette to fit in with the heathers more but it’s actually dark brown. Sectoral heterochromia, which means both of her pupils have two colors (blue and brown),
shitty ref sheet that i will remake. YAY I REMADE IT!!!
Tumblr media
HEADCANNONS:
Has a lazy eye, thats why she uses her monocle when reading // Stays up reading or studying a lot cause shes a night owl // Party animal when shes with her friends // Sometimes takes substances at these parties to distract her from worries // borrows JD’s flannels a few times,, takes him shopping for new clothes because his wardrobe needs it 😔,, also because he wants to buy band shirts // weak stomach. cannot take it when she downs a lot of alcohol …or when jd is flirting with her ooh butterflies // often mesmerised by fire. likes to light candles when she’s studying just to clear her mind. BISEXUAL!! pulls bitch faces a lot (examples below), // favourite toy when she was younger was a teddy bear, she still has some in her room // ever since she broke apart from the heathers she’s been experimenting with her style and sense of self // practicing calligraphy // throws things when she’s mad
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
she’s the (ex) queen of bitch faces
(ex queen because when her schizophrenia worsens she is often emotionless)
Relationships with other characters
(if you want your oc added here just tell me)
heather macnamara:  Believes she owes mac a favour after the whole diary stealing incident. At first, Veronica thought Mac was just another carbon copy of Chandler but she grew to be the Heather that Veronica trusts and adores the most. They sometimes watch old shows that they both used to enjoy as kids together. Occasionally cheers her on at pep rallies. BFFs YAY
heather duke: Veronica can’t really carry a conversation with heather duke alone, so usually when they hangout just with each other they’ll have an activity planned out like studying or croquet. doesn’t trust her with secrets 😭, still on good terms though.
heather chandler: Frenemies. She can stand it when Chandler is bitchy towards her but not when she’s picking on people outside their group. At first she didn’t care about anything that happened to her, but deep inside she feels guilty and worried about Chandler, but can’t pinpoint why.
jason dean: “guys i can fix him”😭, she thinks she knows him better than anyone else (wether she does is up to his blog owner (hi luc)), at times she feels like doesn't deserve him. Sometimes she’ll have her light on at night to let him know she’s home if he ever wants to come. i think they would burn random junk together. hides their relationship from her parents
Melanie Sawyer: Helicopter sister, often worries about what trouble Melanie is up to. Veronica stalks Melanies blog to see if any weirdos are harassing her too. If you bully her you will have to deal with Veronica (only Veronica can bully her >:3) stereotypical annoying sibling relatsionship
Veronica’s Hebephrenia
! Another disclaimer: Again, I am not a professional. This is not meant to offend anyone or anything, I don’t know anyone with schizophrenia in real life but I tried my best to research it. If you or a loved one suffers from schizophrenia you have nothing but my best wishes, I hope you can live a normal life <3 !
The following paragraphs include talks of schizophrenia and the symptoms it brings-
Veronica (in this rp) suffers from hebephrenia, a subtype of schizophrenia. One difference is that hebephrenia also takes form of disorganised speech, which affects Veronica’s character. For the past month, she’s been slowly spiralling.
-Lack of motivation to see friends. She stops checking in on them daily. (alogia, which basically is her lack of motivation to speak. she rarely speaks unless spoken to)
-Doesn’t leave her house for much other than school. Bedroom lights are off most of the time, because she doesn’t feel like letting JD know she’s home either. Veronica feels like she’s a bad partner internally because of this.
-Difficulty remembering or focusing on class material. This is also because of her lack of sleep. Her lack of sleep also creates a loop where basically: cant get much sleep -> symptoms worsen -> can’t sleep because she’s going insane -> symptoms get even worse.
-Misses social cues or laughs in inappropriate situations
-Self care decline. Bare rock bottom minimum aah. She doesn’t have motivation to look after her looks either. Girl pls take a shower. Greasy hair smtimes, eyebags, long unkempt nails. Tries to cover it up with makeup rip, feel free to comment on this if ur interacting with Veronica
-Growing suspicions. Doesn’t show it but she’s suspicious of what others say to her. Subconsciously she feels like everyone’s in on something she’s not apart of. people only wanted me because I was hot and smart, everyone is extremely disappointed in my state now and their all hiding it.
-Despite that, she struggles to express those emotions, so she appears emotionless a lot (affective flattening),
Episodes
No matter how much someone tries to convince Veronica it’s not real, she has a difficult time believing them especially when she’s currently experiencing it. She can’t be talked out of delusions either because it feels like knowledge to her.
-When Veronica experiences positive symptoms around her parents, they try to convince her it’s not real because they don’t really know how to comfort her. (yo girl aah aah)
Positive symptoms: (hallucinations and delusions)
-Ticking noises,
-The belief that she can see ghosts, and accompanying hallucinations of said ghosts (RIP Heather Kurt and Ram)
-Drain cleaner glasses
-Unidentifiable machinery strung around the school
-Voices, especially if she’s talking to someone. She might hear something they didn’t say at all.
-Delusions of persecution. I did something to tick JD off and now he’s planning to kill me, something is in my room when I’m sleeping, he’s planning to bomb westerburg, Heather is reading my diary,
-Delusions of killing Heather Chandler. She *knows* that Heather died when she drank that cup of drain cleaner. She starts seeing Heathers ghost. (similar to like the musical)
-Grandeur delusions. I’ll come back to this when I have an idea for one. Probably thinks her relationship with JD features divine intervention and that’s what gives her life purpose
-Connor :)
Negative symptoms (Usually disorganised speech)
-Tangential speech, loose association in between topics and sometimes zero association at all.
-Echolalia. Will repeat sentences said to her
-Switching between rapidness and tempo of speech.
-Paralogism. Little to no logic in her thinking
-Rip diary entries they will stop making sense
-Making words up sometimes
Post episodes:
-Remember one of her core beliefs is that she believes she’s more sane than others? Yeah that gets absolutely shattered and she desperately tries to prove she’s not insane.
-Loss of purpose in life after having grandeur delusions. Especially if she has grandeur delusions about her relationship with JD, that definitely makes her question their entire relationship and why she’s even in love in the first place
-Motivation slowly comes back and everything eventually goes back to normal
yay okay thats all.

I saw ur comment for my earlier ask where u said “since she's been spending some time in midgard, she's become pretty politically aware of what's been happening in america, so she knows something's off when one day the president declares war cuz things were NOT bad enough for that to happen (let's pretend this is after trump lmao)”
and I’ve never heard a truer statement in my life. Honestly, with everything that’s been happening I wanna disassociate so bad. Just from, like, all the straight WILD things that are being reported every five seconds he’s been in office. Like during his first presidency I feel like it was easier to ignore it cause I was younger, didn’t have TikTok (where I get CONSTANT updates about every detail of what he’s been doing just because it’s so far reaching that even my fav tiktokers that aren’t usually political (GRWMs) can’t NOT talk about how bad everything is getting and how much WORSE he wants to make it than it already is?!
It’s like I’m constantly waiting for him to be like “okay that’s enough villainous shit for the next 4 years now let me go golfing with Elon and Jeff in the Poconos” or whatever.
But HE.JUST.KEEPS.GOING!
Literally a couple days ago, I read that he gave a LIST(and/or flagged) a list to the NSF (the people who give out grants to fund acedmic research) of all the things their proposals (the scientists) can’t have in their proposals or they more than likely will NOT receive funding for their research. They were all words associated with “DEIA” (which don’t even get me started on that because I literally just recently got into the LONGEST fight with some guy in my TikTok comment section trying to tell him that DEIA has ALWAYS been about merit. It’s simply a way to make sure everyone’s voices are heard and everyone gets a fair chance at positions they are more than qualified for but might get passed over if their a certain race,ethnicity, religion, gender, or sexual orientation. Not so “unqualified” ppl can get things they didn’t earn. I had to explain to him that no POC, disabled, or marginalized group has EVER been handed a job they didn’t earn. But I digress because if I go into depth about it this comment will be too long.
What I was trying to say was that of that list one of the words that was flagged was the word female?!?!?! WTF?!?! FEMALE! Are we being SO.FUCKING.FOR.REAL. rn?!?!
I’m sorry but HOW is anyone supposed to get anything done or research ANYTHING of significance if you can’t even talk about or include an entire gender that (tho they might hate to admit it) makes up half of the population of people in the world?!!!
Also what about research regarding female animals?
What? Is it gonna be male and non-male?
I’m so triggered rn it’s not even funny.
Anyway, sorry about that, ur earlier comment just made me think that if he could do dumb shit like this then yeah I do think in that Percy AU that he would throw us in a war for no reason at all.
At this point he’s just living off spite and vibes, I guess.
I SAW THE LIST OF STUPID FLAGGED WORDS THING TOO. i thought it was just another one of those "i hate pronouns thing!" until i realized that "male" was allowed but "female" wasn't 💀💀💀
i think this is they're way of saying that they want all research to be male-focused only and focused on male benefit rather than girls and women, which is DANGEROUS because male-centered research has caused huge problems multiple times in the past. generalizability is an important factor for research, your research needs to be generalizable to a wide array of people, not just straight cisgendered white men.
especially for MEDICAL RELATED RESEARCH?????????????????
god, i knew they hated women but i never expected them to pull up with this bullshit

So chapter 390 thoughts: it was a cool action scene and all, an impressive feat from Shoto to use his quirk like that with his family, and I’m sure it’ll look very cool in the anime. Oh, and I loved Toga’s scene and her words for Dabi too, that was genuinely just great. But as a resolution to the Todoroki plotline, if it really is their final resolution...well be warned that I’m about to get a bit negative about a chapter people seem to really like. Sorry.
I guess on Shoto’s end, it was an okay conclusion to his arc. Because his arc was about becoming a hero who puts people at ease, and shutting down a bomb right as he arrives...meets that criteria I guess. But it also feels kind of a rushed conclusion to his arc this way; as ironic as that may sound when he’s been flying here for 4 chapters. I mean I knew he’d stop the bomb easy; but did anyone else think there’d be more after to do or was it just me?
Endeavor’s conclusion kind of just sucks. He spent his whole arc talking about how he’d make things up to his family; not through empty words, just watch his actions! And then in the end all he does is apologize before passing out. That and “I don’t want to watch you die” being the only nice things he says or does for Touya and that’s it, that was his whole contribution to saving Dabi. Why did we spend all that time with him?
And on Dabi’s end...full disclosure: after this post, I’m likely to go into denial that he’s really down for the count like after 352 because this was possibly everything I ever actually feared for his conclusion. Now that he’s been saved from the intimidate threat of explosion that Shoto was well equipped to easily handle; Touya’s just over it. Never mind his words from the last chapter; he loves his family now*. And seemingly now they’re gonna do the hard part, talking through their emotions and coming to an actual resolution, off-screen as we move on to the next fight. ‘Cause that’s what being a hero is all about: saving that day from physical threat in as big & flashy a way as possible by overwhelming it with numbers & power, then skipping over the hard part violence can’t easily fix.
Man, I almost envy the people who were worried Dabi could die that can just be satisfied that he didn’t. (Unless they’re caught up in the debate about how he will die actually. Even after Shoto saved him. This might be the pot calling the kettle back but man there’s no convincing some people, huh?)
*Early scans tell that he said hated his family; but as I understand, he did that thing in the written japanese language where he said one thing but meant another. Dabi does this a lot.
Although I can’t find the post the claims this anymore and don’t know enough japanese to confirm it myself so maybe I’m wrong? I’d be happy if I was, all the more reason to hope this isn’t the end of the Todoroki plot that way.

Chapter 4
Here ya go!
Sorry I've been slow on posting. Life is busy and the world is on fire. Doing my best, I'm still very interested in writing it is just hard to get stuff out and work full time.
Full Text Below
Its long as hell. Not sorry.
We didn’t talk for a while after that. Irma would look at me now and again, I noticed out of the corner of my eye as I looked out at the road. I got some XP for it too…almost got a level, but not quite. I have noticed I gained XP when I first learned to use a skill and when I cast shatter magic, the skill screen has a history section. Good, I’m glad it isn’t just based on murder, though I doubt I’ll notice when I level up.
We rode for a while after that, until we came to a clearing on the much less traveled road we were trying to take. I spent time figuring out what food stuff and herbs we were given. Salt pork, a single fresh roast that I’d have to cook tonight…things that looked like potatoes but smelled like carrots. All of it was good, I had several ideas for dinner as I got the fire and the pot ready.
“Men know how to cook in your world or are you all assholes there too? I am not cooking you shit by the way.”
Irma asked as I started the fire. I had to chuckle. I was already setting up the travel table so I could start cutting the roast and the veg to make a rather lovely stew. I made sure to pay extra for some pepper and salt, I knew they would be the difference between okay and wonderful. Spices made the world go around. Eating food from the tavern showed me they are at least reserved with their seasoning, but then that could be the wealth gap.
“I mean there are a lot of men who are assholes in my world, when it comes to cooking I’m not one of them. I love to cook. So as long as you like my food, I’d like to cook for you and anyone else. If there is a dish you want me to cook, I’m open to learning for sure. I’m in a new world, which means new flavors. I’m excited for that.”
Irma just watched me and then got up to pour some ale from one of the barrels Bear sent with us. She brought me one too which was nice of her, I wasn’t expecting anything from her. She has been through a lot and I didn’t want to even have her drive but I have no skill with horses so it had to be her until I leveled up and was able to have access to animal handling.
“Alright that works for me. Told ya, I am not cooking.”
She was watching me the entire time, not one ounce of her trusted me. Hell, she might not even eat what I make, but again I don’t blame her. I just need to keep acting truthfully. I think she can see that is what I’m doing at least. No lies, no deception. Keep it open and honest. I have to build trust, and that is just going to take time.
Everything was smelling good and in a position where I could just let it cook for an hour. So I moved away from the camp and looked to the sun as it was trying to set and smiled. The forest was beautiful. This felt good, gods I haven’t camped in so long. Then I remembered a spell I took…now was the perfect time to take it. I even clapped my hands and bounced in place causing Irma to cant her head and then shake it. I think she was getting a feel for how big of a goof ball I am.
“I’m gonna do it! Right now…we have the time so why not? Going to cast Summon Familiar. Yeah this feels right.”
Her eyes widened and she just sighed and took another drink of the ale we brought. I could tell she was thinking about her next words as she leaned forward and set her tankard on the table. Her hands folded in front of her face and she took a very serious tone. That got my full attention.
“Okay Ogre, I’m going to give you some free advice. Summon something weak. Something you can control. If they hate you they might try and kill you just so they can leave. You are their tether; you live and that will keep them here. If you summon something as strong or possibly stronger than you and you piss them off, they’ll try to kill you just to go back home. SO LET ME REPEAT…go for something weak. Or not, you don’t have to listen to me.”
I smirked, she said the same thing I say when giving advice. She wasn’t telling me what to do, only advising me on what will possibly happen. It wasn’t bad advice, but I wasn’t planning on listening to it. When I look at the spell description there was a bar at the bottom with a little slider that seems to be how much mana I could use to cast this spell. I haven’t seen that on any other…so that was interesting.
“I hear you…but something inside me says all or nothing. I’m gonna crank it up.”
Irma just stared at me and then laughed a little bit. She turned her chair to face me a little more and even refilled her mug so she had a full ringside seat for the antics to come.
“I want to see this thing rip you apart. When Demons summon a familiar, it is a personal thing. It is a rare ability, and they revere their familiar. You better do the same. Familiars are NOT slaves. They are partners. Understand. I won’t trust you ever again if you summon something good to make them a glorified slave.”
That last part was a stern warning. Hell, I didn’t want this summon to be a slave. I wanted it to be a companion. I didn’t need to say that part out loud, words weren’t needed here. Actions will be what show my intent. I look at the spell description and start reading.
‘Chant what you feel is right and pay the mana cost, this is not a guarantee of success and it may take more than one casting.’
I nodded and slid the bar about 9/10ths so I could cast a few spells if it really wanted to kill me. Shit I Have a lot of mana don’t I? This is a lot of mana…maybe I should dial it back? Nah. Oh…oh this might make me feel drained. OH well, let us get this thing started eh. I took a position and decided to take a knee, like I was asking for help rather than commanding. Then I hit the submit button.
“I call upon the realm of the Faye where familiars dwell. I don’t need a servant, or a steed. I need a friend, an equal…a companion. I need wisdom from years beyond my own and I need a power that rivals my own. Not because I want to rule the world. But because I want to free it. I have power and what I need is perspective and someone to knock my skull if I become drunk with it. The world does not need another tyrant. They need a true hero. I am not what they need. My heart is dark, and I will spill a great deal of blood before I am done. Irma, is a great source of wisdom but I will only continue to increase in power…and she may need help. So I ask, beg, plead…come to me my new friend. Help me change the world for the better and know the path ahead will be hard but worth it.”
Then it felt like someone was pulling a thousand strings from my skin. I didn’t hurt, but it made goosebumps form all over my bodsy. SO WEIRD! Yeah, so this is what it felt like to cast a massive spell…how interesting. This is good, this is very good. I wonder if the sensation of having one’s mana pulled away is the same or maybe, then its painful? My breathing got a little labored. Everything, just existing was heavy. Fascinating!
Soon in front of me I saw a swirling mass of black clouds. Most would assume something evil…a dark creature bent on destroying the world. Me, nope, I’m still smiling. Shadows aren’t evil and not everything that dwells within is considered that as well. This is SO…
…that is all I got to think before a massive arm came from that swirling cloud and knocked my block off sending me a dozen or so yards off to the side. FUCK that hurt. I was dizzy, my ears were ringing and I bet a million bucks I’d be dead again if it wasn’t for that armor. When I hit the ground I rolled and then did the cool thing where I was able to right myself and skid on the ground on my feet with a fist in the ground for a little bit.
There was a bear covered in feathers standing where the cloud was. Its face was very corvid like. OH! It was a raven-bear. HOLY HELL THAT LOOKS SOOO COOL! I thought owlbears were awesome. This is way cooler…but it wants to kill me. Irma…she was laughing at me. She was right…I can’t be mad if she is gloating a little bit. Fuck it, fine. I’m going to fight it though. I reach for my axe but stop myself. No, I don’t want to kill it. I don’t know why, but something in my gut says to fight…but not kill.
“Stone skin, dash!”
Even with a little mana left I could cast a handful of spells. This was going to help me…I charged forward and used one arm to block the next attack while…fuck it I just punched it in the face as hard as I could. Irma spit out her drink in surprise and I knocked the bear back a little bit…but not as much as it hit me. I could hear her laugher soon after…she must be having a blast.
“You’re gonna punch it to death dumbass? This is too funny. It has been nice knowing you, thank you for all the supplies so I can get back home.”
She chuckled and took another sip…she said some other stuff but I was only a little aware of her words now as I tried to punch the bear again, and it landed but not much happened, and again a massive paw smashed into my side and sent me flying, but it didn’t hurt as much this time as it did before. Irma was laughing which now caught the bears attention. It growled and turned to face her, but only after looking at me for a moment. SHIT! If that thing is hurting me this bad he might kill Irma, NO…fuck.
“LEAP! DASH!”
I moved faster than I could think really and I made myself a cannon ball slamming into the side of the bear with all my weight sending it flying off into a different direction. This also put me between it and Irma. The raven-bear stumbled back, but didn’t roar once. Its amber eyes were just fixated on me, intent…judging…thinking or at least that is how I took it. I don’t speak Faye body language.
“Let her laugh about my death. I’d rather the thought bring a chuckle than a tear. Also FUCK YOU MAN!...or woman or non-binary entity. You were supposed to be my friend! Not that I can force you to do shit…but like…OUCH! FUCK! Okay Irma gave me a warning. She said…THIS…was going to happen. But I’m STUPID…and a guy…and a neurodivergent and I have POOR IMPULSE CONTROL! What did anyone expect was going to happen!? So anyway…BRING IT! Imma fuck you UP!”
I couldn’t see Irma’s expression. I Bet it was a mixture of shame and amusement at what she is going to be able to do once I’m dead. I’m sure she would be able to get out of the country and hopefully without a hero the kingdom will at least be a little crippled. I could only hope so. Why am I not sadder about dying? I don’t know. I mean I get killed by a cool monster I summoned…so that is kinda neat. I still think I’m really sad in general too. I miss my wife, my daughter…I’m just doing all of this to keep busy. I don’t want to self-destruct. Death by bear better than suicide…cause at least I’m fighting back with a slim hope to win.
“You are protecting her?”
It said in a deep, well bearlike voice, like if you’ve ever imagined a bear talking in a movie or tv show that is pretty much what it sounded like. I hurt…all over and my ears rang so it took me a moment or two to process everything.
“Y…yes, why wouldn’t I. She didn’t summon you, I did. She said NOT to…be a dumbass. I was a dumbass, she shouldn’t pay for that. So, I’m your fucking target. Kill me and then you can leave but…but I’m gonna make sure you’re tired before that happens.”
I could feel stone skin wearing off and I had more than enough mana to cast it and dash a few more times. I don’t think that would be enough to stop it, but when I die it just goes back home so I Have to be the biggest threat. I really should pull my axe, but that gut feeling or as my wife says ‘witchy voice’ was telling me not to still…always listen to the witchy voice.
“Fair enough. I had to test you. It is easy to leave someone to their fate when your life is at stake. You didn’t. You are prepared to die right here, I feel it. I respect that. We are good.”
Then the bear started to shift shape, compressing in a…well just…wow. No bones popping or anything just like a lump of clay collapsing in on itself and reshaping. Fucker didn’t have organs so I don’t know what I could have done anyway. Or maybe he did and this is just the magic that is shifting? Hard to say. Soon there was a giant raven standing where the hybrid bear once was. It flew up and landed on my shoulder, heavy bastard but not too much of a burden.
“I think I’ll be happy being your familiar. You are stupid, but in a smart way. Means you’ll be fun and more importantly chaotic; I do so love chaos.”
I mean, I liked them already to be honest. I turned to look at Irma and she was just staring slack jawed holding her drink. Then she just laughed and shook her head. I grinned like an idiot and limped over to the pot so I could stir the stew. The world still spun just a little bit and my ears were ringing far more than normal…but all in all I wasn’t really hurt that bad.
“Ogre…I’m starting to think you are a lucky idiot. I don’t even know what to say. Good job at not dying?”
I had to laugh at that and my new raven friend chuckled as well. I mean she wasn’t wrong. I’ve always had a certain amount of luck. Too many near misses and the like, I don’t think about it too much save that I say thank you every time I survive a near miss that could have killed me. Maybe that carried over here. Makes me wonder how many Earth gods are actually real.
“So what do I call you my new corvid friend?”
I smelled the stew and added some pepper and salt and the carrot/potatoes. Smelled good, I was not going to be mad at this. I hope they liked it…I did add more herbs too. I wanted all the flavor, this was my first time cooking in another world…has to count.
“Well…I don’t think I have a name. At least not now. I remember your majesty…OH and great scaled one! I liked that name. Blessed one was another one. I don’t think that matters, as a familiar, I need to be named by the one who summoned me. Makes the bond stronger.”
I nodded at that and Irma looked like she was processing something heavy  for a moment before just laughing and shaking her head taking another sip of her ale. She might know something I don’t, I don’t need to pry at the moment. I keep doing weird things and coming out okay. I’d laugh at me too. I tapped my chin and thought for a moment before looking at my new feathered friend.
“Well I have something, its more gender fluid if that suits you. Not really masculine or feminine at least back on Earth. Will that be okay?”
I got a sideways look from the raven and they looked to be thoughtful for a moment and a solid nod followed. Iram smirked and took a deep draw of her tankard before getting up to grab mine and refill both, how nice! Maybe she is warming up to me? Maybe a little bit.
“Your name will be Sasha. I’ve always liked it, and it is partly related to my heritage back on earth since its Russian, not that you or Irma have any concept of where or what that is. So don’t mind the history of it. I really like it because my wife said that it would be my name if I ever took a job taking my clothing off for money.”
The bird regarded me a long moment and Irma had spit out her drink this time. Good I got her. I grinned at that, I love saying out of pocket things that aren’t lies. I got a nod from the raven now named Sasha. As I moved to shift the stew away from the fire Sasha hipped down and perched on the table.
“I accept that name…Sasha sounds good. Treat me well, or I’ll kill you.”
And with that he hopped down and started to inspect the camp, making his way over to the wagon after no long, his words coming back to me as I tended the stew. He sounded like a kid really…I don’t know maybe that is my hyperfocus manifesting in the bird. If that familiar is nothing more than my ADHD given form, I feel pity for my enemies.
“Wow you are ready eh? Long trip? WONDERFUL! I love to travel. What is this? Oh…never mind. WHAT IS THIS! Oh…never mind. You didn’t bring anything back from Earth did you?”
I laughed and shook my head.
“No, all of it happened in an instant and anything I had other than my clothing was gone. Sonia took those when she gave me this armor, I have my boxers, or rather A pair of boxers which is a type of underwear from my world…but like they are made from a cloth I’m not familiar with. I don’t have regular clothes, I was too focused on getting food and making sure Irma had everything she needed.”
Irma leaned forward a little more when I mentioned Sonia. She looked interested but serious too like she had a lot of questions.
“So you really talked to her huh? Like the actual goddess and not an avatar? Like a summoned body to take her place?”
What an odd but interesting question. She did say she wasn’t really worshipped anymore. I wonder if the Demon people hate her for all the heroes she has allowed through over the centuries.
“Yeah it was her, there was like a galaxy, and then the world under her feet but it was all covered in some glass. I could see mountains and clouds, and tiny little roads with tiny little wagons. Her dress…OH it was so pretty all the colors were swirling and her hair was swirling. She was NOT expecting a full ass man though that was for sure. Made her happy though, at least I think I left a good impression.”
I couldn’t tell you what was going through her head, at least not yet, she seemed like she was processing what I was saying. I don’t know her well enough to trauma response read her body language yet. Plus demons might have an entirely different set of emotional ques than what I am used to culturally.
“She didn’t say serve the humans did she? Like she wasn’t just sending you to be their puppet?”
Ahh, I see a little bit now. She was making sure the goddess wasn’t against her people. Perhaps there was a part of her that still hoped there was good in the goddess, or that the heroes being an asshole was intentional. At least that was the jist of what I was reading from her body language. Telling her the full truth would be best. I don’t need to hold anything back right now.
“Honestly no. She said she had no control over the magic save for how often it can be cast, which is why it is once every 100 years and not as much as they want. She only gives those people powers as an apology for being dragged here. Her final words to me were ‘save the world as I see fit’. I don’t think she is happy with what the human kingdom is doing. I know I’m not. Those fuckers killed kids that came through and weren’t magical. Soina said she tried that a few times and that is what happened. So I’m damn devoted to their downfall.”
I growled so I didn’t go on a super long an angry rant. They were both watching me before they looked to each other like they were sharing a silent moment. All I could think of was what would have happened to my daughter if they were successful. I wouldn’t even have known…I’d just have thought she was fucking dead. The anger was raising in me and I think at least Sasha could feel it because I felt his weight in my lap. I must have drifted away once I started to focus on the angry part. That brought me back though.
“Some of us hate Sonia for the summoning of the hero. It has done nothing but brought us torment and misfortune. She gives the humans a massive weapon to use against us. Some of us think her hands were tied and that is why she allows it. Your words confirm this. We are still angry, none of us worship anymore. It seems pointless since she seems to have turned a blind eye to our plight. I…hated her. I really did. Still do to a degree. Still, she gave you a HUGE boost in everything. Sasha should have killed you in two hits. The fact that you took it and stood shows that much. I might have a little hope that you truly are different, that you’ll change the cycle. Maybe you’ve been given more because she wants you to destroy the cycle, I’m starting to believe that is the case.”
I take in everything Irma says, her people have gone through hell and then some.
“She said I can talk to her if we find some shrines of her and I ‘pray’ hard enough. We’ll go from there, I don’t want to assume anything.”
Iram gave me a long sideways look and just shook her head with a smile. I’m going to assume that is her way of just calling me an idiot but like…in a nice way. I’m taking it as a compliment. The rest of the night was easy. I made fucking GOOD stew that is for sure. I’m a good cook even here.
They asked a lot about Earth. Society and such, then I told them about my wife and daughter. Neither really gave up much about their history…which is fine honestly. They get to choose if they can trust me, I don’t really get to choose to trust them. I have to, or I’m dead in the water. I’d wander around and end up heading back to the capital and dying in some lone stand of fake heroism.
Irma was nice/mean to me. That is what I’m used to from my family. I think it is her way of dealing with her situation. I have a feeling she’d still sell me out for five bucks if it meant the downfall of the human kingdom, and I don’t blame her. We are all just dealing with the cards that we are dealt.
Sasha sparred with me over the next few days, I got down how to call and activate my different skills. During that time I gained a level and a small amount of skill points. Also had more choices now, and put some into riding so I could drive the cart and found one that said forage. Now I could find simple herbs and veg in the forest. Stew went up by a million times. This was a good part. A very good part. We were far away from the main road now and knew that it was so lightly traveled that we didn’t see anyone for a whole day. The further away we got the more comfortable that Irma seemed to be. That was good too. We were two days off the main road Irma was letting me drive the cart because it was smooth. Made me feel like I was a dad in the drivers seat again, I always did the driving…not that I insisted but because every always wanted to rest during trips.
“AHHH!”
There was no cry for help, just a scream from down the road. Sasha flew up instantly to get a better view of the situation. I was already on alert and handed the reins to Irma. Now…I’m going to say something, I’m stupid. I’m REALLY stupid. I’m raised in America as a white male with a hero complex stupid. Raised by women who told me men are expendable stupid. So I ran straight ahead…like an idiot.
“OGRE YOU DUMBASS!”
I heard Irma yell after me. Yeah hindsight, I should have waited. Sasha would have given me a report and we should have planned. NOPE, Dumb dumb here had to run head long into something…and what I ran towards was terrifying. Bears…seems to be the flavor of the big bads here. This one was fifteen feet AT THE SHOULDER. Glowing red eyes, ichor dripping from an open maw with wicked looking teeth. Fur as pitch…everything about it screamed evil. I didn’t even register what it was chasing. This thing…stopped my heart cold…but not my FUCKING LEGS! It was terrifying and I was running right at it.
Then I came to my senses and I saw what it was chasing, a woman…wounded and running with everything she had. Think think…ADHD TAKE OVER! The world went calm and I was done calling myself stupid. I picked up a rock and chucked it hard to hit the bear right in the face. Drag aggro first, I needed its attention on me.
“SASHA GET HER OUT OF THERE PLEASE!”
I barked and kept running forward. Sasha shot past me changing his form into that of a black feathered covered griffon with a corvid looking beak…so cool. He went right up to the woman and lowered himself so she could get on.
“Get on! We’ll get you out of here!”
The woman hesitated but got on just as I was running past. I pulled out my throwing axes and just hucked them as hard as I could at the giant bear. One after another, again just trying to draw attention and wound it enough so they could get away. There wasn’t time to be scared, my rational brain will process that later. The first axe bit into the bear’s shoulder and sunk there. The second went for its leg and stuck there too…FUCK, I don’t know how the recall magic works on them. Hopefully it kicks in soon? All I knew is that I needed to hit it harder.
“DASH! STONE SKIN!”
I had other spells, but if the axes weren’t doing much I think turning myself into a sledgehammer. Though to be honest I had ZERO confidence it was going to help. Those claws could rend steel. My axes finally returned to my side after a time but this time I was close enough to get into melee with it. My great axe was brought to bear…hehe…and It knocked me off my feet before I could slam into it. More of a whole paw strike and MUCH less claws. Probably cause I was moving faster than I was a moment again. I slammed into the side of a cliff the road was cut into.
…but I could still see and think. I could still move despite the pain. Good…fucking ouch…but good. Other spells here we come!  I was covered in shadow now…so might as well use shadow step. I pictured myself in the shadow of the bear behind him….I felt myself fall back and then raise up. In an instant I was behind the bear. HOLY FUCK SO COOL! I hefted my axe and bit into the bastard’s ass as hard as I could. That…certainly got its attention.
“ICE SHARD! BITCH!”
I was pissed and in pain…which furthered my anger. I don’t know why I was so angry right now…I have no right to be this angry save for my whole entire situation…oh right my situation. Yeah I’m using my rage to fight. This is good…VERY good. Stupid fucking bear bastard. A dozen or show ice spears formed in the air and launched into the flank of the bear. It howled this time and moved to turn around quickly…probably forgetting about its quarry now. Good. She can get away…hopefully it didn’t kill her whole family or anything.
Shadow Step…I grinned as I fell into the shadow of the massive paw only to appear behind it again and let my ax bite into the other side of his ass. There was blood everywhere now. I’m DOING IT! This is my second real fight…shit I haven’t even used identify. I guess instinct works faster? This time I knelt down to ham string him. Pulling out a hand axe and just slamming it home in its ankle and it howled again, making it stumble to the side too. If I didn’t feel just an awful aura coming from this thing I wouldn’t be stuck trying to use cheap shots the entire time. I don’t care if there is less than honorable, I need to win. I NEED TO WIN!
“Regenerate.”
I cast on myself so I could save some mana and heal over time. The bear was roaring and pounding the ground so much I could feel it shake. It tried to kick out it’s wounded leg but with dash I was a bit faster than it. Though I wouldn’t want to be on the other end.
OH OH, more armor…I have something more for than then stone skin.
“SHADOW CLOAK!”
I howled…and that was cool…I love watching all the shadows take substance and swirl. I really don’t thin this thing will be scared of me, but right now I was just trying to pad for the next hit rather than look actually scary. In this time the bear was hobbling around to face me.
“Yeah buddy…fuck you. I messed with your dinner huh? Come get me!”
I tried to stay on one side of it and dragged the blade of my ax along its side. Holy shit it was a thick hide. I don’t even think I was hurting it, I got a little blood but not like when I just slammed the ax in its ass. It was PISSED at me…and that made me happy and terrified all at the same time. The best thing though, I was keeping its attention on me. That was the role of the tank, draw aggression…aggro. I’m VERY good at that…not good at the killing of things stronger than me.
Shadow step…
Fuck he almost hit me. I sink my ax into its hind leg again, this time he shoots it straight backward and nails me solidly in the chest, sending me sailing back. FUCK…ouch…fuck. I don’t like pain. I REALLY don’t like pain. That gave it enough time to turn around and charge forward at me.
“ICE…fuck…”
I was having trouble breathing now. He hit me in the chest hard. Shadow step…I moved to the side of it before. He knew the old pattern because right when I appeared his leg kicked back and that would have ended me. I send a hand ax as hard as I can into its side…which isn’t very hard right now. He spun around really fast and hit me again…I was able to brace with the great axe and I slammed hard into the ground.
…fuck. I am certainly going to die here. Sorry Sasha for not letting you see more of the world. Hopefully Irma and the girl will get away…fuck. I’m stupid…I struggle to my feet to meet this asshole head on.
“Bring it…gonna make you choke on my bones…and then some little bunny is going to come by…and…and…EARTHEN PIT!”
I made a hole in the ground near the bear’s paw and made him eat shit a few yards away. I need a constant list of my spells…I forgot I had that one. I charged forward in a last stand sort of deal…regeneration was actually doing its job though. The few moments I was able to give myself rest was enough for the body to repair itself enough to fight more.
I have this…I can…NOPE…nope I’m fucked. A massive strike sent me back as I chucked an ax at the bear’s shoulder. I wasn’t fast enough to block with my great ax and he hit me hard again. Ouch…hard to breathe…hard to move…so much pain. I can’t think…I just see its wounded lumbering form. Bastard will remember me though. Shit, regeneration ran out…mana is almost gone...shadow cloak expired, stone skin gone…It was hard to even focus.
“Come on you furry bastard…bring it. Heal…”
That was the last of my mana, I had no more spells…and I still hurt and was dizzy…I think I just stopped some internal bleeding. I did my best to hold my great axe as I was waiting for death to take me. I hope Irma and the woman got far away. I’m gonna fuck it up one more before it eats me. OH maybe I can hurt it so it can’t even chew…
“You fucking dumbass. Gods I leave you alone for five minutes.”
That was a familiar voice. Or did Death sound like Irma. Nope, I hurt too much. Not dead…then what? My vision cleared to see someone jump down from the cliff and bring something shiny down with them…which resulted in a rooster tail of blood erupting from where the bear’s head was split in two. The body just fell limp there.
“Hey…that is MR. FUCKING DUMBASS…”
I chuckled a bit and fell to one knee. I saw my level skyrocket. I got a crap ton of points to spend on skills and stats. I looked to Irma and her level shot up too. I don’t need mana for identify apparently. Sasha landed with the woman still on his back. She looked…shocked…but that only lasted for a moment before she ran up to kick the corpse of the bear, she was shouting some colorful obscenities that was for sure.
“You had me worried Ogre, to be honest you should be DEAD. So fucking dead I should be picking out your bones from bear shit. It is impressive that you are still alive. Good on you.”
Irma said as she wiped blood from her face and watched the woman. I only just now noticed she had pointed ears. An elf? That would be cool. I’m not going to make an assumption. Oh I hurt, I am hurt…even with heal I’m not doing great. I’m far under okay, I mean heal is weak as hell. I’ll live…but like, it isn’t an insta fix like I thought in the beginning. So glad I cast regeneration too…but like I’m all sorts of fucked up.
“That is twice you gave me kudos for not dying, I might get an ego. Thank you for saving my ass and making it so you didn’t have to pick my bones out of bear shit.”
I was being a little snarky, but I didn’t expect her to come and save me. That means a hell of a lot, more than that. Well I mean she had it before but I’m loyal as fuck now. I’m a simple creature, save my ass and you got a goon for life. She did just that.
“Welcome. I parked the wagon a bit back. Nothing got lost. We…we are going to want to cut this bastard up. We can sell him for lots and bear meat is so fucking good.”
Irma said as I struggled to my feet. I just smiled a bit as I spit out some blood that had pooled up in my mouth.
“We have bears on Earth too and let me tell you that you are not fucking wrong.”
I walked VERY slowly back to the wagon. Sasha was keeping an eye on the elven woman and Irma took to cutting up the bear and I put it in my storage because it would be preserved there. I have no idea how to cook bear except it has to be super well done because of parasites. I’ll mess with seasonings and cooking method when I’m done being near dead. Right now…sleep…yes…sleep…
…sleep

Jane the Killer Headcanons
Slowly but surely getting around to every character in my HC list cause that ask blog is coming goddamnit!!!
Small note, I’m going to try not to pull headcanons/inspo from either existing Jane canon. I know there’s two and I know the fandom has mixed feelings on both origins so I’m just not gonna touch either if I can help it! My Jane will be more of an original/personal interpretation.
Expect canon typical dark topics to be discussed!
In her early 20s, died when she was 21
5”10, has substantially built up muscle over the years of her…work
Who the fuck decided she was the mom friend/mother of the group
Girl has zero maternal instincts
To be all honest she actually kinda??? Hates kids???? The idea of pregnancy never appealed to her and she was never keen on interacting with kids in general, she has zero interest to do anything involving kids
So ofc that means she’s not gonna parent anyone’s ass
She’s a very independent person
Like. If she wasn’t involved in making the mess she won’t even offer to help clean up type of person
She knows her responsibilities and doesn’t like it when people try to make their problems her problems
Girl wasn’t always like this though. Learned skill (?)
When she was a teenager she was the biggest people pleaser on the planet
Not a people pleaser anymore and would rather die than have to grovel or beg or bend over backwards for someone else
People pleasing is what literally got her ass killed, she’s not making that same mistake again
Was p much your standard loner smart girl in high school. She wasn’t bullied or anything like that, but she also didn’t go out of her way to make friends
Attended the same college as Jeff, wanting to study law
Joined a sorority. Unfortunately, joined one of the really toxic ones
They walked all over her ass while she was there. She was basically the errand girl
Of course a lot of the girls forced Jane to do the volunteer work they were supposed to do. It sucked having to do so much work, but at least Jane got to do some cool volunteer stuff, like with animal shelters and shit
Hey let’s go volunteer at this haunted house in the woods by campus!
Jane had volunteered at the same haunt location Jeff worked at the night everything went to shit for a lot of people. After the incident at the haunt location, Jane, Liu, and several others were victims of the mass murder spree Jeff went on that night
Y’all remember the cult that worshipped [REDACTED] that made Eyeless Jack into what he is? Yeah the same cult fucked around and found out a way to bring them both back from the dead
Said cult thought they both died from Jack (who is still a heavily worshipped figure despite Jack wanting nothing to do with them) considering their violent injuries
Said cult was wrong, and was thus nearly wiped out by the pissed off power duo of Jane and Liu
Honestly they’re both way more pissed off at the cult that brought them back and at Slenderman than they are at Jeff
Like, sure, they don’t like the guy, he was the one who killed them after all, but there are worse things to hold grudges against
And boy does Jane hold grudges now
Having a new lease on life now means she’s got a new life outlook as well
Fuck everyone unless they prove they are not somehow out to get you
Liu is her ride or die. So much so that the two briefly dated while they were still alive, and even briefer while being partners in crime. It didn’t last, but the two are still very very close
She’s bi btw
Liu and Jane are both plagued by nightmares, hallucinations, and sometimes random possessions all thanks to the tomfuckery the cult did with their bodies
Like holy fuck the cult just constantly botches resurrections, sacrifices, and even creating a god vessel. These bitches can’t do shit fr.
Jane and Liu are equally scarred up from their deaths, but Jane makes an effort to cover/hide the scars with makeup and clothing. Liu gives zero shits and does nothing to hide his
The cult attempted to give Jane’s eyes the same treatment they did for Jack. Didn’t work, and now she’s half blind and often cries black tears uncontrollably. It’s real gross and feels as bad as it looks
Her depth perception is real shit now cause of this. She can’t see out of her left eye at all and is constantly alert and checking her blind spots
Chronic pain!!!! So much pain!!!! All the painkillers in the world could not alleviate the pain Jane and Liu are constantly in. Their existence is agony.
Because of that, they both have a massive pain tolerance compared to even the most durable mansion residents
Speaking of. Guess who solved the constantly needing funds problem for the family of fucked up freaks
Jane and Liu run a redroom on the dark web where they livestream murders and provide a hitman service
You’d be surprised how much people are willing to pay to see a tall “goth” lady beat a man to death
Jane is almost always the one in front of the camera doing the killing, Liu is the one setting shit up behind the scenes
Jane cares not for weapon choice. Whatever someone requests, she uses. If there’s no specific request, she just uses whatever she’s in the mood for
Killing someone who’s tied up in an enclosed room also makes it so much easier for her since her vision’s kinda fucked
For the hitman part of the service, Liu goes out and kidnaps the victim. If the request is to do the deed at home, Liu does it all solo. Jane appreciates the breaks
Both of them sometimes, Jane much rarer than Liu, fall under possession of spirits. Aimless souls of past victims all conglomerate on the grounds of the manor, and if all the pins fall into place, they sometimes briefly end up in Jane and Liu’s body
They (usually) don’t stick around for long, especially considering how uninhabitable their bodies are, but it’s always jarring to anyone having a conversation with either of them, and suddenly they either go silent and limp or start screaming in terror and trying to run
Jane is mildly annoyed by this and keeps as much superstitious spirit warding stuff on her person as she can
The longest a spirit has ever inhabited her body is about two hours. By the time it left she was halfway through the process of buying a bus ticket to a town she didn’t recognize
Besides having to be serious and whatnot when attending to the redroom service, Jane is pretty normal as a person.
She likes normal girly stuff, watches long multi-season shows in her free time, and often requests Liu and Nina pick her up some makeup or clothing
She’s not the most agreeable person, but she is the most reasonable and grounded
If we’re judging by sanity alone, she’s the most sane of everyone here
Is currently somewhat dating Clockwork, but it’s like a whole on and off thing
Is friends/close with: Clockwork, Nina, Liu, and EJ
Is neutral about: Masky, Hoody, Jeff, Helen, Ann, Ben, Jason, and Kagekao
Hates LJ, puppeteer, and Slenderman
Has no idea why Ann doesn’t like her, but refrains from interacting with her for the most part so she doesn’t have to worry about inevitable arguments
Feels…. odd about Sally
She can’t quite exactly explain it but there’s something weird about that kid that unnaturally draws you to her. Jane is steadfast in her displeasure with children though, so she thinks she’s immune to whatever the hell it is
She’s not gonna do anything to hurt the kid or try to alert the others, but she definitely avoids Sally
After her and Jeff talked about specifically why he murdered her and Liu, she’s not that upset with him anymore
I mean she still is upset about it, but after learning the reason why he did it (or lack there of) she decided to place her anger on the real culprit of the situation
They’re not gonna be caught hanging out anytime soon, but neither of them argue or go at each other’s throats. They mainly just avoid each other out of respect for the other’s boundaries
Her scars run deep but her hatred for Slenderman runs deeper. The only reason why her, Liu, and all the other Slender haters haven’t bolted or tried fighting back is because they can’t
The damn thing can literally read minds and has immense control over the surrounding forest. To go against its wishes is a fate worse than a death sentence. As much as Jane hates it, she grits her teeth and continues to try and find a way out of it

MORE THOUGHTS AND DEVELOPMENT (If ya can even call it that) FOR MY DADTRAP AU
I’ve done a lil more hyperfixating researching, and I can now officially say I know almost all the basics about the fnaf timeline and lore!!! And I seriously mean the basics. To keep William/Springtraps goals consistent for this AU, there might be sliiiiiighty less child murder than there is in canon. Just an itty bit less. But who knows.
The AU’s story hasn’t all been figured out but I’ve got Springtrap’s character pretty much down!
Springtraps personality
Extremely low empathy.
Too much pride to admit fault.
Secretly hates himself 👍
Genuinely cares about his kids but sucks at showing it or even recognising this fact for himself.
Doesn’t understand people or how in the world they think and especially feel.
Despite not understanding people he’s a surprisingly great manipulator.
He acts entirely on logic and reason rather than emotions.
Is aroace (doesn’t know) and only got married to get his abusive parents off his back.
Probably autistic. (I didn't even decide this cause I'm autistic and want more representation. It's just the way I've written him that gives him super big 'tism vibes)
Feels closer connection to his robots than humans or animals.
Has chronic pain and fatigue after getting springlocked yay!
Has always felt disconnected from other humans even when he was one himself.
Has never had hot chocolate made with milk before. Only water. That's how you know he's a psychopath.
Story changes and William’s motivations
These are all just concepts and stuff might change. Right now almost everything plays out mostly the same as it does in canon. The pizzeria, the 5 dead kids that possess the animatronics, etc etc. One problem I’m having is what I’m gonna do with Charlie/Puppet. I know she was William’s business partner’s daughter, and William killed her, and she possessed the Puppet. But I don’t think anyone really knows WHY he killed her. And it’s kinda important I know for this AU to make sense- So either I’m just gonna have to come up with a reason that fits, or she just straight up doesn’t die. Most likely Charlie will still die and possess the puppet. We shall see tho! :]
The main changes in this AU will be Williams motivations and his actions. He’s still a kid murderer. But he doesn’t go killing all the kids simply because he can, or because he’s seeking immortality for himself, or any of the supposed reasons he killed the kids. My idea right now is Elizabeth, Williams daughter, was suffering from a terminal illness with only a few months at most to live (What illness I dunno but I don’t think it matters that much)
William wanted to be a good father for even just once and began seeking ways to somehow save her. He eventually discovered that someone could essentially be made immortal by stuffing their dead body into an animatronic, and they would “live on” with their soul possessing it. I’m not sure how exactly the idea came to his head. Maybe the crying child possessed Golden Freddy after the chomp malfunction and gave William the idea to test the theory some more. And he thought if it works, he can freakin stuff Elizabeth’s dead body into an animatronic and “save” her that way. As I said these are all ✨concepts✨ so there will probably be plot holes and plenty of questions of “how this” and “why that” But it wouldn’t be Fnaf without all that would it? gjdgfkfgfjh
Elizabeth will probably still end up possessing Circus Baby, but how she does will most likely be different. Maybe Elizabeth finally succumbed to her illness, William wasn’t expecting it this soon and he didn’t build any kinda robot for her ready, so he shoves her into Circus Baby without thinking while he had the chance, and that’s pretty much all I got so far!! :D
Changing William/Springtraps motivations affected the entire story a lil bit more than I was expecting but hopefully I shouldn’t have to adapt too much more-
I haven’t done anything really beyond fnaf 2 so maybe expect something past that soonish!!
