You stood in front of the bathroom mirror, staring at your bare torso as you ran your fingers along the fresh marks. It had been years since you’d found yourself in this place, and you were silently cursing yourself for getting here as the tears streamed down your face. 

The first time this happened, it was a complete accident. You had been so frustrated at something or other, you honestly couldn’t remember the initial catalyst at this point, that you had clenched tiny crescent shapes into your palms. As you watched the blood emerge, you felt a sense of calm. At least this pain was tangible. If you were going to be hurt, you wanted to at least see it. So that’s what you did. 

For a long time after that, when life became too much, when you were feeling alone or misunderstood, you would mark yourself. You always knew it wasn’t the best way to handle things, but it gave you a sense of control you didn’t otherwise feel you had in your life. 

You were usually pretty good at concealing the scars. Tucking them away the same way you did with your emotional struggles. Until you were asked to be a bridesmaid in your cousin’s wedding. The dress was gorgeous, your cousin knew about your body image struggles, and took the utmost care to find something that would be flattering for you, something you would be comfortable in. And then you tried it on, unprepared for the slit that went up to your mid-thigh, showing off your collection of scars. Nobody said anything at the fitting, even though they all noticed. A few days later, your cousin spoke to you privately, and you broke down, telling her everything. She was incredibly supportive, and worked with you to make sure you got the help you needed. 

But here you were, years later, feeling like that sad, scared girl from all those years ago. You weren’t sure how it escalated to this point, you had been through a rough couple of weeks at work. Late hours, nonstop meetings, more criticism than praise. Your family were all so busy with their own lives that you barely had the chance to speak with them. And then there was the one person that was supposed to be your rock, Harry. 

Harry was incredible. You had never felt so loved, so cared for. You still remember the first time you showed him your scars, and told him about your past. He listened with rapt attention, tears pooling in his eyes. When you finished, all he could do was place soft kisses to each of your scars, muttering apology after apology and promising to protect you from ever feeling that much pain again. 

But he was on the other side of the world right now, he couldn’t be there for you in the way you needed. Between the time difference and your busy schedules, you felt like the two of you were merely pen pals. It wasn’t his fault, this was his job. You knew that, it was what you had signed on for when you started seeing him. That didn’t make you feel any less alone though.  

You were startled out of your thoughts by your doorbell. You furrowed your brow as you checked the time on your phone. Who would be bothering you this late? You splashed some water on your face to hide your tears, and grabbed your shirt off the towel rack, throwing it on before moving to the door. 

You left the chain on the door, opening it a sliver to see who was on the other side. The moment you were met with Harry’s sparkling green eyes and wide smile, the tears made their return. You stood in silence, the door partially opened as your brain tried to process that he was here, standing at your door. 

“I think I’ve successfully proven I’m not a nefarious stranger, think you could let me in now?” He joked. 

You closed the door just long enough to remove the chain before opening it wide, sniffing and wiping your eyes as you took him in, really took him in. Before you could react, he had charged over the threshold, wrapping his arms around your waist and burying his face in your neck. “I missed you, angel.” He murmured against your skin as his lips left soft kisses against you. 

“I missed you too,” you say as you pull back. He looks at your tear stained face, bringing his hand up to wipe the wetness away. “But what? Why? How?” You’re at a complete loss, he wasn't supposed to be back for another week. 

Harry chuckled at your flustered state, brushing a stray hair behind your ear. “I was able to get things wrapped up early, so I’m here to surprise you.” 

After a few more hugs and whispered I missed yous, the two of you got settled on the couch, turning on the television for background noise as you caught each other up on the past few weeks. 

Once he had gushed about the projects he had been working on, and you had shared some minor details about your world, you got settled in his arms and the two of you started watching television, just enjoying the feeling of being with each other again. 

As the evening went on, Harry’s hand absentmindedly traveled under your t-shirt, stroking the skin on your hip before moving around and running up your stomach. You were half asleep, the comfort of being in his arms making you forget your actions from earlier in the day, so you didn’t register what was happening until he softly said your name in a questioning tone. You hummed in response. 

“What happened here?” He stroked over the marks once more. 

Your eyes went wide and you sat up, pulling your shirt down to ensure he couldn’t see anything. “Nothing.” 

“Y/N,” Harry said in a gentle warning tone. He reached for the hem of your shirt, but you scooted away from him on the couch. “Please?” His tone was less of a warning and more of a plea this time. 

You took a deep breath and lifted your shirt, holding the hem just below your bra line. Harry’s eyes went wide at the sight, running a finger down your stomach as tears immediately began to pool in his eyes. “Y/N, these are fresh.”

You open your mouth to respond, but all that comes out is a guttural sob. All of the pain, loneliness, everything from the past few weeks being released at once. Harry is on you in an instant, wrapping you in his arms allowing you to cry against his chest as he strokes your hair and holds you for as long as you need. You both know this is something you will need to discuss, but you’re also in no state to have that conversation right now. 

“Shhh,” Harry coos. “It’s alright baby, I’m right here. Let it all out.” He holds you tighter, wanting to make sure you knew he was there, and he wasn’t going anywhere. His own tears begin to fall as he continues to listen to your wails, and feel your body shake against his. 

The only words spoken for the remainder of the night are Harry’s assurances to you that he’s there, and that he’s got you. Eventually, the two of you fall asleep in each other’s arms on the couch. 

The next morning, you stretch your body as your hand comes to your eye, wiping the sleep away. You can feel that your face is still puffy from your tears, your head pounding. You look around and see that you’re alone. You stand from the couch and head out in search of Harry. You immediately hear the sizzle of a frying pan and make your way into the kitchen to see Harry’s back to you as he stands over the stove. 

“Harry?” Your voice is raspy and low. 

He turns immediately, greeting you with a sad smile as he takes you in. “Hey baby.” He steps up to you, placing a gentle kiss on your lips before bringing his hand up, brushing your cheek with the backs of his fingers. “Go sit at the table, alright? Breakfast is almost ready.” 

You nod and take your seat, watching as Harry disperses the scrambled eggs from the frying pan to two plates that are already stacked high with pancakes. He brings them over, placing one in front of you, and the other at the setting beside you. He then goes to the refrigerator, pulling out a bowl of fresh fruit, putting it between the two of you. 

“Juice?” He asks, wanting to make sure you have everything you need before he sits down. 

“Um… water please?” He nods, kissing the top of your head before going back to the refrigerator and getting you a glass of water. 

When he returns, he takes his seat beside you and the two of you eat in silence, Harry occasionally reaching over to squeeze your thigh gently. His way of reminding you that he is there. You know a conversation is coming, but you don’t dare speak first, hoping to put it off for as long as possible. 

Once you have finished eating, Harry clears the plates, putting them in the sink for later. He comes back to your side, taking your hand as he sits. “Baby,” he says softly, searching your eyes. “What happened?” You shake your head, dropping your gaze to the floor, he immediately slides his finger under your chin, bringing your eyes to his. “Talk to me. Please.”

You feel a lump in your throat when you hear the desperation in his voice. “I’m sorry.” You choke out. 

“Hey hey hey,” he moves his hand from under your chin to cupping your cheek. “Don’t be sorry, you have nothing to apologize for. I just want to help you. But I can’t help if you don’t talk to me.” 

You close your eyes, leaning into his touch and take a deep breath. The warmth of his hands on yours gives you the push you need to start. You tell him everything, all the things that have gone wrong over the last few weeks. The overwhelming feelings of hurt, loneliness, inadequacy. It feels so good to get it off your chest. You look at Harry as you speak, and you see no judgment in his expression, you know that he’s taking in everything you’re saying, and that his brain is working overtime to figure out how he can fix it, how he can make everything better.  

Once he’s sure you’re finished, he wraps his arms around you and pulls you into his lap placing soft kisses along your jaw. “Baby, I wish you had told me. No good can come from keeping this all to yourself.” 

“You were busy. I didn’t want you to worry about me.” You wrap your arms around him, burying your face into his neck.

He tilts his head, pressing a kiss against your temple. “Angel, no matter what I’m doing I am never too busy for you. I want to be here for you for everything, the good and the bad. We’re a team, right?” He feels you nod against his shoulder, he places his hands on the sides of your neck, pulling your face back to look at him. “I need to hear you tell me, baby.”

“We’re a team.” You say softly. 

“That’s right,” he brings your face to his, kissing you softly on the lips before kissing away the tears that had fallen. “One of the things I love most about us, about you, is that I know that no matter what is happening I have you. I can run anything by you at any time. Right?” You nod in agreement. “What kind of boyfriend would I be if everything was one sided like that? I came to you with my stuff, and you just took it on while also managing your own, all by yourself.” 

“I don’t want to be a burden on you.”

“Y/N Y/L/N, you are anything but a burden. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me.” He assures you confidently. “Just you saying that proves how selfless and giving you are. But in order to take care of me, and everyone else who loves you, you need to properly take care of yourself.” 

You nod in understanding. “Thank you.”

“No my love, thank you.” He said with a soft smile. “Thank you for trusting me with your heart. I promise you, no matter where I am or what I’m doing, if you pick up that phone and tell me that you need me, I am going to do everything in my power to give you whatever you need. Okay?” 

“Okay.” 

He pulls your face to his, kissing you deeply. Enough to feel all of the love that he has for you. He doesn’t just want to tell you how much you mean to him, he wants to show you. When he finally pulls away, he rests his forehead against yours, brushing your cheek with his thumb. “Do you want me to run you a bath? I think you could use some relaxation.” 

“Will you stay with me?” 

“Of course, my love. There’s nowhere I’d rather be.”

Monster March 2023 Day 1- Elemental

Woo, ok. So I'm gonna try to do every prompt. The first 9 will be on time. The rest? I'm gonna try but they'll be late. I've only been working on these since January. But some are multiple parts, some are one shots. And this one is a one shot. And I'll also be posting this to AO3 as well because @borealwrites has a Monster March 2023 collection on there too.

I'm following @borealwrites Monster March 2023 prompt list. And of course, I can't leave out @catbatart who also has a Monster March, who I followed thier promptlist last year since thier promptlist is timeless and not year specific. Same stuff, just different order basically.

Enjoy!

Monster March Day 1 - Elemental

The Emperor’s Gemling

“She is something truly precious, Your Majesty.” Imperial Concubine Ling insisted as she showed the Emperor the large jade box in her special sanctuary in her palace. 

“Where did she come from?” He asked. 

“As you have heard, when Emperor Qin Shi Huang was buried, his most beloved concubines were buried with him. And it was the gemlings that helped them escape on the other side of the mountain. This gemling is a direct descendant of those gemlings that helped them escape. Each of the gemlings that have been coaxed out of the great tomb, prefer to live in a house of jade. That they make themselves. And all you need to do- is feed them and they give back the most amazing treasures. See for yourself.” She offered before she poured in a bowl- pure mercury and with tongs, put a cake of sulfur on top of the jade bowl and knocked on the sliding “door” before it slid open. 

“Greetings Great Gemling Yuan Shi. I have mercury and sulfur for you.” She offered as she knelt and slid the pretty jade bowl with the pure sulfur cake laid on top like it was a piece of bread to go with soup into the chamber before the Emperor heard a soft crunching and then a slurping sound, like that the occupant was slurping the mercury like a soup and eating the sulfur cake as if it was an actual piece of cake. 

“And what would you like in return?” Came her reply after a few sips and bites. 

“I have The Emperor with me, he would like to see you.” She offered. 

“Why?” The gemling asked cautiously. 

“He is simply curious, my friend. It is safe for you to exit, I promise. Surely you can feel only my servants around you and you trust all of them to not harm you, yes?” She answered. 

“Very well.” Came the gemling’s reply before a door, that had not been there before opened up and the Emperor stared, awestruck, by the beauty that came out. Her skin was that of a pearly white jade. Her eyes, like intense green jade. Her hair like onyx. And wearing a gown of blood red jasper. She was more or less a human sized female, save for her elemental features. Her hair was styled like many of his other concubines, same hair accessories. And an illustrious gold filigree was in all around the edges of her garment and in her ears like earrings. Like a walking, living, breathing treasure. Dressed in exquisite splendor and looking like a goddess stepping out of heaven itself. 

He had heard that the Imperium had had a string of gemlings, that stayed with the palace through the different dynasties. But the reason he made this concubine, his imperial concubine was because she, was a direct descendant of one of those freed concubines and her family had a multi generational long relationship with the gemlings that were in the mountain that the first emperor made into his own mausoleum. 

And over the generations, the gemlings had learned their language and culture and adopted much of it into their own society. But the Emperor also knew should any force be risen against them, the very ground they walked on would swallow them up and crush them and the Golden Imperial City and every city from all over his kingdom could be turned to rubble because gemlings had control of the earth and it’s many minerals and were made out of organic precious stones that acted like flesh for them. So there was a very healthy respect between the people and the gemlings. An alter was built for them after they rescued those concubines and things like sulfur, mercury, and other elements, were presented, the more toxic and dangerous the better. But when they started to leave things like metal, either bronze, tin, iron, steel, silver and gold, that’s when the gemlings would trade truly priceless treasures for because metals were a food source just like the toxic and dangerous elements were. 

So the Emperor came, with a very special offering as he presented her with an ingot of alloy. It had just about every metal in it. And she smiled widely, showing off her pretty pearl white teeth before she bowed, as was customary in the palace, gave her thanks and took it from him and bit into it as if it was a soft steamed bun. And the sound of her chewing the metal was like a carpet over gravel before walking on it. 

“Please, won’t you sit down?” He offered as he gestured to the seat for her to sit before she stepped up into the seat where the Emperor and the Lady of the House would sit while he would visit them. 

“So, what gift would you like, Your Majesty?” She asked him as she looked at the pretty ingot in her hand over to him. Because she had much experience with various rulers in the dynasties and usually the more precious the metals offered, the more “elaborate” the gift they wanted in return because to surface dwellers, very few things were really “free”. 

“Nothing, I just wanted to enjoy your presence.” He shook his head no as he couldn’t take his eyes off of her, even if he tried before she hummed and nodded before she continued to casually eat the ingot of metal as the servants served the Emperor and Imperial Concubine Ling other snacks themselves. 

“You are very beautiful Great Yuan Shi.” He praised. 

“Thank you, the gemlings who enjoy the Imperium have noticed that if we look more like the surface dwellers, the less unsettled they are when in our presence.” She explained.

“You have succeeded. You look positively ethereal.” He praised. 

“Thank you.” She thanked him as she finished off the last bite of the ingot as she gave Ling a curious look to see if she could give her any indication as to why a request of her had not been made yet. 

“I understand you like pearls.” The Emperor suddenly offered. 

“Yes, I do. Any treasures from the sea are always prized to a gembling.” Yuan answered before the Emperor made a motion before a servant came and presented her with a mother of pearl box, filled with large pearls. 

“These are quite precious.” Yuan noted as she took it and appreciated the inlay into the otherwise gorgeous wooden box that was lined with velvet that had all of the pearls in it before she picked up one up looked it over thoughtfully. 

“Is there anything else you like? Or that you need?” The Emperor asked. 

“No. Imperial Concubine Ling sees to it that I am bathed, polished, fed, and cared for very well and socialized with the other gemlings here at the palace. However, with you giving me so much, I am now starting to worry that what you are about to ask of me will be very large and very intricate indeed to accompany such a luxurious meal and gifts.” She offered. 

“I assure you, no such requests or demands will be made. I was simply curious to meet you. Many of the gemlings won’t even exit their homes of jade.” He admitted. 

“So, all of this was to simply…truly just be in my presence?” She asked, a sense of weariness still in her pleasant tone and features. 

“Yes.” He confirmed before she looked to Ling curiously to either confirm or deny such a claim but all Ling kept her self silent by eating some of the sweet mochi cakes prepared for them before Yuan looked back at the Emperor to see him just staring intently at every detail about herself before she turned to face him more directly before she reached out her hand to him before he laid his hand into hers before he other hand to come up and rest over his as she stared back into him. 

“You’re Majesty. Please, I can sense something is wrong, what is wrong?” She asked. 

“I am worried that something is wrong with all of the gemlings.” He finally confessed. 

“Why would you think that? Has anyone said anything to their caretakers that the care they are receiving is not what they need?” She asked. 

“No, but…it’s been over a century, yet the same 12 gemlings have not had any children, none of you have grown, none of you have changed much at all in the last 100 years.” He admitted. 

“Ah, so you are fearing we are getting old, worn out or aren’t able to reproduce?” She surmised. 

“Yes.” He admitted before it was her turn to smile reassuringly at his as she pet his hand as he was awestruck that something so soft could still be warm yet slightly soft in it’s hardness, like heated massage stones. 

“Please rest assured Emperor, we are all happy, healthy and not that old. We are old enough to be mature, knowledgeable, educated and talented to work with the twelve treasures of heaven beside corals and pearls, which come from the sea. We rotate who makes what every decade so that none of us grows bored or “burned out” so to speak or too tired of dealing with only one precious or even semi-precious stone. But we have not reproduced because we are working. In order for a gemling to reproduce to make another, they need to eat the way we usually eat, but not work at all, since all the work their body does is all internal instead of external. And the needs of your court and your dynasty are simply too extensive and demanding for any of us to have children of our own. Right now we have the perfect balance and will be ready to be changed out with others in our tribe in another 98 years. Since most gemlings only stay in service to the Empire for 200 years before we go back to train the others for service while the last batch that are still learning to be gemlings for you- are being trained. Besides, gemling infants and children are very intensive as far as caring for them, and usually the entire tribe will come together to raise a group of only a few younglings, so that they have peers, and playmates, and to a degree- siblings. But they can often do more damage than good. Especially in such a grand and beautiful palace as this. The younglings are at the mercy of their own emotions, wills and often naturally impetuous and immature personalities, like all younglings of all kinds usually are. I would hate for any precious palace to be destroyed just because a gemling child did not wish to lie down and rest for the day. And while they are small, they are much stronger than most would think. And only with age and experience do they gain control of themselves, and then they learn to control the elements around them. Surface dwellers count their life times in days, weeks, months, years and decades. Gemlings count our lifetimes in centuries. So think of the gemlings that are serving you now, as young women, whose bodies are good for work, but are not yet mature enough to mother children. But, the best mothers in our tribe, have come from my foremothers from your Great and Grand Imperial Palace. Because the patience needed to master the 12 treasures and every other element in the world takes much time, much instruction and much patience. Time that you, and your Empire simply don’t have to give. For a dynasty may last many generations of your kind. But such a time may only be long enough for a babe of ours to reach childhood. Time passes differently for both of our kinds. But the time we share together to enrich each other- I’m happy we have the time together that we do.” Yuan reassured the Emperor as she continued to simply hold his hand with one of hers and pet his hand and arm with the other. 

“Oh.” He blew out a breath of relief. 

“Is there anything else bothering you? Do you need another set of massage stones your Majesty?” She offered. 

“The last ones that were made are still perfect and wonderful.” He reassured her. 

“Good. And I can see that every concubine does love the jade rollers that they use on their faces.” She smiled. 

“Yes, those are still ever so wonderful.” Ling offered. 

“Good.” Yuan smiled happily. 

“Your Majesty, if you were worried about such things, why didn’t you ask our caretakers? They would have asked us, and our answer would have been the same. You didn’t need to trouble yourself. Especially if you have other important state matters to attend to.” Yuan asked the Emperor as she tilted her head slightly. 

“I wanted to hear it directly from you, since you were willing to leave and see me face to face.” He admitted as he was happy to hold her one hand in both of his before he stroked her knuckles with the pads of his own fingers, still appreciating the exquisite softness of the surface of her skin. 

“Well please be reassured, we are all healthy and happy and more than willing to create what we can for our hosts and caretakers. Especially when we are cared for- so well.” She reassured him. 

“And if we ever want or need anything, we will ask. We have learned your language so that we may speak and communicate it clearly. And while your language changes a little over time. We are still understanding each other well- are we not?” She proposed. 

“We are.” He smiled and nodded. 

“Is the quality of our work no longer good enough?” She asked, her tone slightly concerned. 

“No, as always, it is your own work and the work of all the other gemlings that is always perfect and flawless in all respects. It is always exquisite. To the point, it is often wondered if it isn’t real or a fake. And our artisans are always eager to try to learn all they can from you and your techniques in working with the gemstones.” He reassured her. 

“Well, we do love working with the artisans. They are just as passionate about their work as we are. And they inspire us as much as we inspire them most of the time.” She smiled. 

“Yes, I have more jade sculptures than I know what to do with.” He huffed a laugh.

“Is there another substance that you would prefer for them to be made out of?” She asked. 

“No, the jade is always precious. And your work with it is especially exquisite, it was not a complaint against you or the jade itself. I have an almost embarrassment of riches here at the Palace.” He corrected himself. 

“Does it tire your eyes? It is nearly in every direction you look within your palace. There is jade everywhere here.” She noted. 

“No. It’s fine.” He reassured her. 

“Yet you stare at the red of my gown?” She gently teased before she leaned on her elbow onto the table and the emperor dropped his mochi from his mouth to see more of her body’s shape through the “fabric” that he could have sworn was stone of her “clothes”. 

“It is a very pretty color and very striking.” Concubine Ling offered while the Emperor subconsciously licked his lips as his mouth was suddenly dry before he reached for his tea to drink it up as his heart started to flutter in his chest. 

“Imperial Consort Ling, I feel I should return to my chamber, I’ve already breathed up all the bad air in this palace that I can. And I do not wish to be light headed and lose consciousness, especially in front of his Majesty. If you’ll please excuse me Your Majesty.” She offered before she stood, with her box of pearls and stood to bow respectfully and then took the few steps back to her jade “house” and the door once again vanished into the rest of the jade as if wasn’t there to begin with as the Emperor’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment, because he felt that perhaps it was his leering that caused her to become uncomfortable and withdraw. 

“Now you see why they don’t often leave the jade houses, because they do have an affect on others.” Imperial Consort Ling offered in a small murmur to the Emperor. 

“Please give her my apologies, if I offended her or caused her any discomfort that she needed to retreat.” The Emperor offered as he stood. 

“I sincerely doubt you did, Your Majesty. It’s just that gemlings’ lungs are used to either toxic fumes and gasses. And they can only breathe the outside air for a short amount of time. Like anyone trying to climb a mountain, where the air is too thin and their heads hurt because the air isn’t as rich as they are used to at sea level.” She readily excused. 

“Oh.” He realized. 

“Have…have gemlings and surface dwellers…ever…?” He began to ask. 

“While they don’t necessarily marry, there have been rumors in the past of some emperors mating with them, but only if they are interested and want to partake. Otherwise, if one forces themselves, they court death.” Concubine Ling hinted. 

“How?” He asked. 

“They make metal out of one’s own blood and send spikes made from such blood all over the body. As if being stabbed through millions of needles all over all at once.” She revealed. 

“But you are always welcome to ask, if she says no, simply leave it at that, if she says yes, then you’ll get the chance of a lifetime to lay with one. No child can come from the union, but certainly a night of pleasure could be had.” She offered. 

“Ah. Thank you.” He smiled as he nodded in understanding. 

“Word of advice. Do so in your own imperial bathhouse. Have water pumped directly from the hot springs. They love the sulfur smell of the water and will often soak the sulfur up, leaving pure simple, hot water in the process.” She whispered.   

“Thank you for your direction and instruction.” He grinned before he left to make some preparations before Ling came over to the wall of the jade box and with her finger, traced the words 

‘Did you hear that?’ She wrote before her answer appeared on the surface of the jade as if it was instantly carved in the surface with a simple ‘yes’. 

‘Would you consider laying with the Emperor?’ She asked. 

‘I would. Especially in the water of a sulfur spring.’ She wrote back as Yuan stood on the other side and smiled happily at the prospect. Because gemlings and land dwellers could still give and receive “carnal pleasures” with each other. 

Imperial Concubine Ling practically ran after the Emperor to tell him the good news and what Yuan’s “conditions” to indulge him were just as he had reached her outer gate. 

“Thank you. I will call for her when I am ready to receive her.” He thanked her. 

Within the week, he had all the groundwork done. His bath had been emptied out and fresh water straight from the hotspring had been pumped into the water so that the scent of sulfur “polluted” the scent of his palace. But he didn’t care. He was going to partake in a secret tradition, laying with a gemling, something that had not been done in over 50 years, well before his birth. But it was something, that once he found the secret compartment that every other emperor in the dynasty left behind, said that such a thing was like touching heaven itself. That the pleasure coming from laying with a gemling was some of the greatest in his life and that nothing else quite compared. 

It seemed Yuan knew it was time, because suddenly the jade house she lived in seemed to rise right out of the ground in his palace. She wore a “gown” of delicate diamonds and pearls over her frame to conceal her true body’s form and shape from the others. Her hair hung like it’s own waterfall of black silk down her back and with every breath she took the sulfur scent lessoned in the air before she walked into the deep pool and disappeared under the waters, only reappearing several long moments later. 

“Are you coming?” She beckoned and the young emperor could not get undressed fast enough before he joined her in the waters himself. 

To his shock and delight, her lips were soft as she kissed him, her garment seemed to vanish in the waters as he soon sat down on the seat in the bath waters as she pressed her surprisingly hot yet soft and supple body up to his before her entrance seemed to find his cock before she eased down onto it and moaned in pleasure. 

He had never felt anything quite like it before. She was somehow wet, and soft and her womanhood seemed to be curved and conformed to him, so that he could slide in and out of her, while several soft stones seemed to stand out that his manhood rubbed against with every stroke in and out of her. 

He expected her kisses to taste like sulfur. But she simply tasted like the purest mountain spring waters. Her hair was thicker and heavier than he imagined, because her hair was a soft crystalline strand. He expected such delicate strands to break at the slightest touch. But instead he found he could comb his fingers through their silky softness, not finding a single knot anywhere among it. He expected her flesh to taste of sulfur too, but that wasn’t the case either. It was that same pure mountain stream water taste and he was delighted when he could suck, nibble and lick such flesh while the rest of the world seemed to fall away while she rode him with a strength and stamina, he thought only the toughest wild horses had. 

He grabbed her hips to move her over him as his own hips hiked up into her and as different as her flesh was from his, somehow, they seemed to become one in this moment. He could feel her heartbeat in her own chest as it pressed against his own. 

He watched in astonishment as she found her pleasure and her whole body seemed to glow with its own iridescence as she looked almost like she was made more out of opal than of white jade. As all the colors seemed to bloom and flash all around her body and especially of her skin. It was just plain mesmerizing and before he could stop himself, his own pleasure came as he pulled her tightly to herself as his own body tensed and shuddered as he pushed rope after rope of precious seed into her. Knowing all too well that while such precious Imperial Seed would not take root, the pleasure that came from it- exceeded the pleasure he had had when lying with any other woman in his harem. 

He had been given a warning, to not even attempt this before he had had his “fill” of his imperial harem. But the temptation to partake of this pleasure was too great for him to resist, once he found out such a thing was possible. 

But it was as if, as soon as one pleasure was about to recede, a new pleasure started to bloom as they moved around the large Imperial Bath and used up every inch of it to practically fuck each other’s brains out. The water, helping him handle her usually very heavy weight better, since she was “organically elemental”, some of the principles that some things, like a being’s body being lighter in water, whereas other inorganic things were always heavy, no matter if it was water or air around it. 

But it wasn’t until his body begged for mercy for a break from the pure ecstasy her touches created, his body was tired and exhausted from his endeavors in giving her pleasure and receiving his own from her, that he finally asked to stop. 

“Please, no more, I need rest.” He begged as she came up from the watery depths after sucking him off for the…he lost count. But it all felt wonderful, but his body was tired, his body was oversaturated with pleasure and there was hardly any sulfur left in either the water or air. 

“Ok. Let’s get you to bed, to rest.” She readily offered as she gave him one last sweet kiss before she walked him over to the stairs and put the many drying cloths on him as he let her and the other bath attendants she had called, help assist him in drying him off before they moved him over to the bed. 

“Can..can you…sleep beside me?” He asked her as he laid in the bed but didn’t want to leave her side. 

“For a time.” She agreed as she went into the bed, it’s groaning under her weight as she gathered him back into her arms and pet his head, specifically his own long hair as he was quick to fall asleep in his own bed before she withdrew to go back to her own jade house to get some rest herself since it had been a several decades since the last time she herself got to indulge in the land walkers ‘intercourse’ and she had almost forgotten how good it could feel before she rolled over in her bed of soft opals to get some sleep herself. 

However, from that first night forth, once a month, he always looked forward to his “gemling night” with her. And even as he aged, she never seemed to. But they grew fond of each other over the years. And when he died, she was right there beside him, crying tears of diamonds over her favorite emperor. And while she had grown attached, she had also prepared herself for this. And made his own mausoleum out of the red jasper he was always so fond of, carving out her own last love letter on the very inside of it in gold as she kept the very pearls he had given her, in a necklace always around her neck and never leaving it. 

And while she was happy to send him off, never again did she take a human lover. But when she got back to her tribe when she officially “retired” and her “replacement” came to relieve her. She did name her first child after him, as a way of keeping all of her beautiful memories of him for the rest of her life. 

And when it was time for her to pass, she made the last journey to her precious emperor’s tomb. And while all that was left was his remains, she was happy to finally lay beside them, wrapping what was left of his imperial garments over her one last time, reading the last declaration of love she had given him being the last thing she saw, her memories of their decades together being the last ones to play in her mind before her own mind and body finally gave out so that they were both laid to rest in peace, together. 

[tohruhondaismydaughter]

Just had some headcanons about Machi pop into my head that I wanted to share with yall. So we know this poor girl struggles with "perfect"/neat things right? Well I was thinking about some healthy coping mechanisms she could develop to replace the whole 'breaking property/living in a dump' thing & here's what I got so far -

1. She always tries to wear odd socks (unless she's invited somewhere nice)

2. Ayame & Mine help her find cool asymmetrical stuff to wear, how to make clashing colours/patterns work for her & teach her how to sew up her old clothes in a more "punk rock" way (after Yuki & Kakeru explain some of her issues with perfection)

3. Tohru gently points out that she dosn't have to tie her laces the same way on both shoes if she dosn't want to

4. Haru & Rin (awkwardly on her part) teach her the power of acessorising (ie. wearing only one earing, putting on an uneven amount of bracelets/rings/necklaces, adding paper clips of different sizes & colours to your clothing & Machi later ends up adding stuff like buttons to her outfits/belongings as well which Haru & Rin are tottally surppotive of despite thier difference in style) & hair/makeup which (thanks to Yuki's advice) they make sure to keep slightly messy (Kimi laughed at it at first until Momiji made her feel bad after he told her that Machi had gone to the bathroon & wiped off all the make up & undid the hair style so Kimi bought her some limited edition Mogeta merch, after asking for Yuki's advice, in apolgey & started referring to Machi's new hair/makeup style as "punk chic" whenever anyone tried to mock Machi about her new look)

5. her & Momiji go on a crazy tie dying adventure (much to Hatori's grumbling & Mayu's amusement)

6. Kormaki gets her into collecting second hand fridge magnets which she then later uses in her work (my version of post-serise Machi is an artist) once the magnetism finally wears off

7. Kagura teaches her how to fix up old plushies (Machi likes creating Mogeta inspired characters) & gives Machi all her old cat ones to work on (Machi descides not to ask why Yuki's cousin was seemingly once obssesd with orange cats because she looks rather embrassed & a little sad when she hands over her collection)

8. Kyo reluctantly teaches her how to cook a few simple dishes (Tohru comes over as well & Yuki insists her food is better but Machi prefers Kyo's simple style of presentation so it's eventually descided that Kyo & her will do the cooking & Tohru & Yuki will deal with the cleaning which Yuki agrees to becuse cleaning is still difficult for Machi but Kyo says it's actually because no matter how much Tohru tried to train him rat boy knows he would never be able to do anything in the kitchen but burn water)

9. Kakeru teaches her the skills of 'excessive badge & sticker decorating' as well as giving eachother fake tattoos (Kisa congratulates Hiro on not saying anything rude to Yuki's girlfriend about her appreance after they first meet her)

10. Cuts her hair short (she delibretly makes it very choppy) once she enters university, where the rules are less strict about your apprence (at least it is if your at art college), & she also regulary wears diffrent coloured wigs (her favourites being a dark red one & a rainbow one) whenever she wants to temporarily change her appearance (beacuse she didn't want to commit to just one look, still wanted to have the ability to quickly "become invisable" again & she heard from Kimi that exsseive hair die-ing could permantly destroy her hair & scalp) it takes her until she's 30 to try out shaving all her hair off (she worried she'd look sick/crazy or not feminine enough) & everyone's really surppotive (though Kimi dose cry a bit, Rin & Haru aren't there when her hair is being shaved & Kyo is a slightly confused as he'd always thought women liked having longer hair then guys) especially Ritsu (who's growing out thier hair again) & they all throw her a big party (Haru & Rin are there for the party bit just not the hair removal bit because it brought up some bad memories) where Kakeru films it & posts it (with Machi's permission) & they give her cut off hair to a charity chosen by all thier followers (despite her disbelief Machi has manged to gain a small group of loyal fans from all her art stuff & her apprences on her loved ones social media), Kakeru also later uploads a video where they help Machi rainbow dye her buzz cut, (she later explores many diffrent types of buzz cut patterns such as flowers & geometric shapes but, at Kimi's insistence, gets them done by a professional)

11. She recycles & D.Y.I's like crazy (Momiji started singing Do Re Mi from The Sound Of Music after she told him that her new dress was actually made from curtains & Yuki cried when she gave him a little rat plushie made from felt, after he came clean to her about the curse)

12. She almost never wears an apron while working on her art because she likes getting messy

13. When her & Yuki go out to eat she loves things like fondoe (both the chocolate & cheese kind), eat N mess & is genreually just a fan of finger food & it becomes a tradition between her & Yuki (& later Mutsuki) to go on a stroll through the park after thier meal & (if it's autumn) look for piles of leaves to jump in (Machi & Yuki also like playing a game where they try to look for the weirdest looking leaf to give eachother & whoever wins gets to pick what they'll eat for dinner that evening & the looser has to cook it, Mutsuki is the "impartial" judge)

14. Machi is amazing at scrapbooking & collarge making (Tohru is more of a dream journal kind of girl)

15. When it's Summer her, Yuki & Mutsuki go down to the beach to see who can find the weirdest looking rocks (the less impressive ones often get used in Machi's art work, the coolest ones Mutsuki gets to keep & any that are too perfect get tossed back in the ocean & Mutsuki likes to score the splashes they make on how big/loud they are)

16. She loves helping Yuki out with gardening for lots of reasons (it's therapeutic & she loves seeing Yuki happy) but she can't deny it's also just fun getting muddy

17. Machi, thanks to Kakeru, devolpes a love of paint ball (but instead of using guns they just throw the paint at eachother like in 10 Things I Hate About You because apparently the gun pellets actually hurt) & will bring it up as an activity idea to her loved ones any chanse she gets

18. Decorates as much of her flat (& later her home with Yuki & Mutsuki) with Mogeta merchandise, random things she collects & her own art work as a big fuck you to her bitch "you have 0 personality/hobbies or talents" of a mother

19. Kisa (happily) & Hiro (reluctantly) introduce Machi to the magic of glitter

20. Machi & Rin eventually become proper friends due to bonding over being abounded by their asshole parents & one of the things they like to do together is work on thier seprete art peices while listening to music (Machi dosn't do any of her "aggressive" art, like plate smashing, around Rin though thanks to Yuki & Haru warnings)

21. When stuff gets to be too much & none of thier other coping strategies are working (like watching Mogeta stoned- which Kisa, Tohru & Momiji do not partake in) Machi & Haru bond by going to rage rooms together to destroy shit & scream (Haru obviously dosn't want Rin around for any of that though so Momiji, Tohru, Kagura or Hana will often take the opportunity to hang out with her, one time Yuki offered & it wasn't bad but it was definitely awkward as they had never really hung out without Haru before & Haru teases her for ages afterwards about her ending up liking Yuki once she actually spent some time with him which, like the precious tsundere she is, Rin will forever deny)

22. (I actually made a whole seprete post about this ages ago but now it seems to have vanished so in case other Machi fans are unable to find it l'll add it here) on the days that it's supposed to snow but dosn't Yuki takes her (& later Mutsuki) skating so she can enjoy scratching up the perfectly smooth ice (they would have gone on double dates with Tohru & Kyo if Tohru wasn't freaked out at the idea of having blades on her shoes & Kyo hadn't claimed to "not trust" ice, he's dislike comes from all the times Kagura had forced him to ice skate with her on the lake near Kazuma's place in the winter when they were kids, so they would instead go with Haru & Momiji - they had thought about going with Haru x Rin & Kakeru x Kormaki once but he proudly revealed that he'd been banned from thier local ice rink years ago for trying "perfectly safe" Olympic level stunts in he's attempt to recreate one of he's favriote episodes of Power Rangers, much to he's fiancee's anger, & Machi reminded Yuki that though Haru & Kakeru were fine with eachother Rin isn't reall able to stand Kakeru for longer than 5 minuites)

📝Raphael uwu [Rise Verse]

| Send Me A 📝And I’ll Give You A Random Amount Of Headcanons/Facts About My Muse! 

Raph is a huge sports guy Football(American), Soccer, Basketball, Xtreme sports, pretty much anything.

He has a few sports cards that he's found in the trash over the years and keeps in a binder. So when he comes across a new one he gets very excited

He started to take an interest in fashion because of Yvonne, whenever he does get dressed he's trying to be a bit stylish

In that, he takes some things into thought like colors and overall function along with style. He annoys his brothers with this because he takes a long to dress now.

Of course, Raph loves Jupiter Jim and Lou Jitsu movies

Raph still had that angry side his previous variations are known for he just had a better handle compared to them since he stress his need to protect his brothers first.

Raph being the oldest of course took charge because he was the older when they were just turtle tots. But often his brothers got hurt during thier mischief, Splinter often making a point to Raph he needed to watch them is what started planting the seed to his mother hen tendencies

Raph is a big Mother Hen, he is the most likely to worry over his family no matter the reasons from injury to not being home when they would be home. Tend to have the hardest time with letting Mikey have that independence

Raphael has Anxiety clearly, I say is likely Separation anxiety, seeing how his family is all he has known for a good while it's no wonder Raph tends to panic when he is suddenly left alone.

Raph uses social media the least compared to his brothers so he isn't as in the know on things. Like our date meme "Like a Boss."

Because of this he also doesn't always fully understand a short-hand text or what it means and it has confused his brothers. he also makes it up sometimes.

Raph digestive tact is made of steel because he keeps eating stuff he shouldn't u_u Man has a strong bite and can eat pretty much anything seeing how he has a bite force of 209 N

Raph is one of the better swimmers of his brother's thanks to being a Snapping Turtle

(Movie related) Ralph’s eye sight on his right eye is not the best and often gives him issues now

Raphael/Yvonne (Yes I put one up top then decided to add a section on its own.)

Raph is the type to fall in love fast and hard. he fell for her pretty quickly, and couldn't stop himself for loving everything about her.

Raph tends to get a bit flustered around Yvoone simply because he's always trying to impress her in hopes of her liking him back.

Raph isn't one to use terms of endearment as much so he mostly calls her by name or babe, he prefers my girl though the most.

Raph is very quick to lifts Yvonne up to protect her over the smallest things.

He likes to pick her up and spin her around before pulling her into a hug. Sometimes he forgets how strong he is and yeets her into the air though good thing she can fly

When Raph gets her gifts he has a bad habit of over thinking if they are good enough for her and has many times just ate her gifts so to replace it with something better

One exception to this is Raph will make her a Braclete from an old mask of his, he torn this into shreds and learned t braid the Fabio and even found an old bit of metal that fit well with some help with his bothers he goes engrave it for her (I don’t know what with yet but this is post movie angst related uwu)

Yvonne being British has grave Raph a chance to try the snacks and other food there, he has a favorite and sadly it’s Turkish dealight u_u

He is Yvonnes biggest hype man not matter what he generally means it but he’s very out loud with it when he dose hype up her creations and more.

He's the kind of boy friend that buys a hoodie wears it and purposely gives it to his girl so she has a hopdie of his

Big Mama’s boy Au

Raph dosen’t know any Ninja skill but he has picked up how to fight from his mother Battle Nexus

This Raph has the bad temper pervious Ralph’s are more known for.

He has made it point to know everything his mom has control over mostly for the times he alone he can make sure no one is causing trouble when she isn’t there to keep things in order.

He tried to make her a teddy bear as a kid it’s not the best a patch work of fabric and not stuffed the best and has poor stitch work he scarp material around the hotel to make it for her thought

Even after Raph learns he has brothers out there he chooses to stay with Big Mama, She was the one who raised him she is his family

He dose try to connect with them however with his Mom’s blessing

However if put in the position he would pick Big Mama over his brothers and betrayal them if they ever hurt her u-u

Raph refers to Big Mama as either Ma or Mom

[lady-literature]

A Miraculous DC Crossover

ALL RIGHT!!

I’ve been sucked into this unholy sub-fandom and I have thoughts okay? lots of them. Almost none are coherent and I don’t care. I have no plotline to write a fic but by the gods do I need to get out all my ideas.

Behold:

the Salttm

Lila, obviously. But she’s a petty nuisance at best, and an annoyingly competent akuma to fight at worst. manipulative, but not really dangerous ya feel?

Alya. which like, home girl probably doesn’t deserve but like,,, the drama??

CHLOE REDEMPTION YOU COWARDS

She and Marinette become surprisingly good friends (because I love that for both of them and you can pry it from me cold, dead hands)

Nettie-bug and Queenie

They pick on Adrien together

Mari’s friends Protection Squad That Don’t Take No Shit

Adrien

Chloe

NINO BITCH HE DESERVES MORE LOVE TBH

Alix?? Probably

Luka obvi

Felix (PV)?? Or does Marinette have enough emotionally constipated boys in her life?

(Answer: no. no she does not.)

Nath? He be a good fox tbh. creative and sneaky boi

Kagami!!! I love her

They’re all heroes because I say so.

Felix (Sparrow) is an honorary member even though he doesn’t have a miraculous

He handles PR and other background things along with Chloe

Joined up a few years back when Parisians were getting a bit too critical of the heroes

No Hawkmoth b/c fuck that guy

He existed, just not anymore. Bitch got yeeted

There’s other villains in town now. After Hawkmoth’s defeat other metas/supervillains looked at Paris and was just like, ‘free real estate?”

So now the Miraculous Team are Paris’ Actual Full-Time Hero TeamTM… yay.

Ladybug, Chat Noir, and Abielle (or like, Wasp/Yellow Jacket idk Chloe changes her name because ~identity stuff~) are the core three team. like, the wonder woman/batman/superman trio of the MTeam.

Nath is called Reynard Ambre b/c I love him

The public knows he exists but he’s never seen in battle and no pictures exist.

but there are plenty of instances where Paris knows he out mucking around because those akuma battles always get really weird.

Marinette be the guardian?

Guardian in training

Along with all the other holders b/c jesus. Give the girl a break.

Yeah. I like that Idea. All current holders are training to be guardians as well, but Mari’s going to step up as Guardian Supreme when Fu steps down.

Hero fashion!!!

The Miraculous Team is all decked out in their own merch like 24/7

Rarely is it thier own hero persona tho

Not because of like,,,, secrecy or anything. Just because they’re all nerds who love each other

Marinette is the lead producer of Miraculous Merchandise. It’s like,,, her BrandTM It was completely unintentional too

(Adrien and Chloe financially support her work tho. She designs, makes a prototype, and has her two blondes get others to replicate it)

Half of Paris is wearing her without knowing it

(Go MDC! get it girl!)

She totally makes Gotham inspired outfits because what else would she do????

Don’t get her wrong, most of Gotham’s fashion sense royally pisses her off but it’s fun and hey, supporting her fellow heroes ya know?

She wears a Robin hoodie after being officially acquainted with both Damian and Robin (separately of course)

Damian chokes on something, probably his own tongue.

It confuses Nettie. But then she thinks maybe he’s a fan too? She offers to make one for him but he steadfastly refuses much to his brothers’ amusement.

Might make a robin themed dress?? If so, she crosses paths with Robin when she does, thoroughly embarrassing her and almost sending poor Dami into a crisis.

Rogues Gallery

She makes a lot of designs off the rouges gallery because like, supporting people trying to get better??? also they’re some of the few who’s aesthetic aint shit?

She can’t make all of them because she ran out of time, so the rest get posited up on her Instagram and MDC blog (that’s run by Tikki mostly. She’s a great secretary and gets bored in Mari’s purse all the time)

Everyone is very flattered

Harley, if she ever finds it, immediately commission all pieces and wears them around Gotham don’t @ me

Daminette obvi

Marinette meets him and is just like ‘wow, you’re horrible. I want five’

Marinette, in the group chat later: so I met Kagami and Felix’s love child today

Kagami and Felix, seconds apart: I would never stoop so low

immediately after: Hey what the fuck? Rude

Nino: Nettie, dearest, sunshine, light of our collective lives and reason I breathe, what the fuck

Adrien: Kagami, my love, how could you? the Betrayal

Chloe: ew

Luka: Send pics or it didn’t happen

Nath: [insert the ‘right in front of my salad?’ meme]

Whenever they cross paths as Robin and Mari, he’ll just like,,, appear from nowhere hanging upside down spiderman style. Mari finds it endearing but she also wants him to stop scaring the shit out of her

Nicknames, because I have an unhealthy obsession with them, alright?

Misc Mari names: Bug, Bugaboo, Buginette, Madame President/Colonel (when the Team’s being cheeky), Princess, Marigold, Nettie (by like, Nino and Alix)

Jason calls her Pixie-pop

The bird boys call her Nightingale/Mockingbird in like, honor of her being a kickass civillian

Mari refers to them as ‘the flock’ (and bird-brains after getting to know them better)

Damian calls her: Starling, Habibti, ya qamar(my moon), malaki (angel), ya wardati(my flower) (b/c like, angel’s cute an all but I just think Damian’s way more dramatic than that tbh. he’d put thought into his nicknames)

Mari calls Damian: mon soleil (my sunshine) (because symmetry and also Mari thinks she’d hilarious), Birdie, petit oiseau/oisillon

I like the idea of Jagged being a native Gothamite tbh

it’s just so fun honestly???

He’s probably the reason the MTeam are in Gotham in the first place? maybe? anyway, the class is there, right? right. 

Kagami, Luka and Felix are all holding the fort down in Paris. Ain't no akumas but sometimes they need backup so when certain heroes need to disappear, Nath has Trixx set up an illusion of whichever one so they can slip away with the horse miraculous.

Mari’s the one who has to leave the most because she’s still Paris’ damage control, so like,,,,, ya know.

Mari doesn’t get left behind, at least not on the first day b/c come on people! She has plenty of friends in class watching out for her and a semi-competent teacher who does care even if she’s non-confrontational to a fault.

She does eventually become separated from the group. Half because of Lila and half because she’s always fucking late and got distracted.

She actually runs into one of the civilian batfam in the first place because the class was allowed an hour or so to wander around the shopping district or whatever to explore/buy things/get food. They just needed to return to the meetup spot at a certain time but Mari is like ten minutes away when it’s five minutes to the meetup

So she’s just… fucking booking it and completely takes out this trained vigilante without trying to.

Mari, as she’s groaning on the ground, tangled around a boy: By Kwamii, I thought my luck was supposed to be good Tikki.

That or like, the subway doors close before she can get on them and the rest of the class ends up ahead of her leaving her to get caught up on some bullshit in the next train or smth.

Oh, like. Of course it’s her train that gets held hostage. Wonderful.

(Later, Mari will rant at Tikki about her luck. A common conversation between the two tbh.)

This could be where she officially meets the Batfam as the Batfam. Or, like. A couple of em, at least.

Marinette getting serial adopted by the whole goddamn batfamily because i will die for this trope tbh i dont even care

The Robins nickname her Nightingale before they realize she’s Ladybug

They still call her that after but it’s not with the intention of making it her hero name anymore

Her and Alfred are def bros you don’t understand

Actually, Gina and Alfred are old friends. Mari totally knows Alfie before the bat fam and calls him Poppy/Pépé

which floors the batfam because what? Since when does that happen???

Alfred and Mari never, like, actually met in person before, but video chats exist and Gina def talks about the two to each other so it’s like they may as well know each other.

I also like the idea of Alfred being a former holder, probably the peacock. I would adore that

Just,,,, so many fun hero shenanigans

Yeah sure. The batfam are super detectives and have a history of figuring out people’s identities in no time at all. Whatever. Where’s the drama in that though? The showmanship?

Fuck canon, the Miraculous all have glamours because magic bitch and it plays fucking hell on the Batfam and all their shit

Every single Batfam member is simultaneously pulling their hair out because they don’t know who these heroes are???? Why can they figure them out?? Confusion???????

Miraculous team is just…. Straight up laughing at them. The poor dears.

That one gag where it’s a well-known secret that Mari has connections to every Parisian hero and is basically their own personal catering service/comfort place.

Also, it’s the worst kept secret in Paris that Mari is Multimouse

None of the MTeam have confirmed that rumour but they also don’t deny it.

they actually started the rumour. If all of Paris thinks Mari’s the mouse, a temporary hero, no one’s going to think she’s Ladybug/or that she’s an easy target to go after

chloe actually came up with that one

Mari meeting all of Damian’s ‘associates’ (ie pets)

She adores all of them and they her.

Especially GOLIATH, why isn’t he talked about more honestly???? He’s GREAT

She meets Goliath as Ladybug and Robin is just… so done with him??? You are supposed to be a fearsome beast and a professional why are you rolling over and expoSING YOUR STOMACH??? Meanwhile, Ladybug is just: Awww! Who’s a good boy? Who’s the best boy? You are! Look at how handsome you are! Cute widdle baby-

Miraculous Team hanging on the roof of their hotel kinda chilling

Maybe having a debate about doing some free-running/parkour?

Also maybe about whether or not they should be heroes while in Gotham

MT being like, why can’t we go and stop an armed robbery? we can help!

“Gotham already has very active heroes-”

“Vigilantes!”

“-whatever. I don’t want us stepping on any toes. This isn’t our terf and Batman’s known for being strict about Metas rolling around here.”

“We aren’t Metas though.”

“I don’t think he’ll enjoy splitting that particular hair, Nino. Just- not unless lives are at stake, okay? Emergencies only.”

“Yes, Colonel Ladybug.”

This debate most def gets crashed by batfam and confusion ensues upon both sides

batfam didn’t hear anything, they’re just really confused about these french kids hanging out on a roof in Gotham

Just.... yes. all of that. I have like, more but those are not organized or even remotely coherent. here you go! I might write for this but I already have other fics rn so... it wouldn’t be for a while. and as I said, I have no plot.

take this though, i guess. *throws confetti*

[themadauthorshatter]

If you're up to date with my posts, then you know what's about to happen.

I've read the books, WE'VE ALL READ THE BOOKS, but this is a somewhat fun switch-a-roo.

Expect a BUNCH of changes that I'll try justifying, especially painful ones, so bear with me🙏

OTP SWAP PART 1: THE CRUEL PRINCE!!!!

I'm starting with the first book for obvious reasons

Like before, we start in the mortal world with Ashley Duarte(yes, human!Cardan's last name is Duarte, but like I said, bear with me) making tacos in the kitchen while one of the MANY dogs and other animals wait for her to drop some food. Baby boy Cardan and his older half-sister Rhyia are watching some human stuff, maybe Looney Tunes or old Mickey Mouse cartoons, when the door is knocked on, which alerts the animals and wakes a half asleep Cardan; Rhyia does not wake up.

Cardan answers it and finds a cloaked Madoc at the door. Rather than ask who he is or call for his mother, he stares at this man, who kneels and asks as evenly as possible if his mother is home.

Cardan slams the door in his face, which prompts Ashley to ask why he did so.

Madoc BANGS on the door and shouts, "Asha!" and Ashley pales as she realizes who is at the door.

She demands Cardan to go upstairs as Madoc kicks the door open and walks inside, giving the same speech as the original, that Balekin told him she'd ran away with his daughter, that she killed a woman who was just as pregnant as her, that she ran away and married some lowly farm hand and blacksmith. He thought it was a lie, but nope. Here she stands.

Asha(which is her real name) is deeply ashamed at his words, and tries to pull Cardan away; an angry Madoc is an unstable Madoc.

Like before, Justin rushes in to save his family, but ends up getting kebabbed with his wife.

Rhyia does wake up to see both and Madoc spills the tea that she's his and needs to pack her bags because they're leaving, and Cardan's coming with.

Cardan, despite being seven, is outraged and tries to kick Madoc into oblivion with no avail. Rhyia, however, swears that she'll never love a monster like Madoc, who simply scoffs and tells her to wrangle the human and gather her things in half an hour, because they're leaving for Faerie.

Reluctantly, they do and they never see the mortal world again for a very long time.

Jump to the present day as Cardan, a now seventeen year old human heart throb, is getting prim and proper for a revel. His hair is getting styled nice, he's in a nice suit, he's wearing a cool belt that makes him look like he has a tail, and has ear cuffs that make his ears look pointed like a faerie.

He also has rowan berries on his wrist, because he doesn't want the necklace to be easy to see as a lot of his shirts show his chest.

He's dolled up and meets Locke, his brother that came around when Madoc married Oriana and had Oak. The two did not get along, at first, but they began to tolerate each ither as they realized they were the only humans in Faerie that were gentry kids.

Locke is more of a bard or a poet, always seen with a little book, and doesn't wear the same stuff Cardan does, so no pointed ear cuffs for him. He's also more accustomed to Faerie, being good with half truths and minor deception. He's on good terms with both Madoc and Oriana.

Cardan, however, is not on good terms with either of them, as he has tried multiple times to leave Faerie, with and without Rhyia with him, and every time ended with Madoc outside scowling at him and leading him back to his room. Still has that 'no kill' rule, but he's better with sneaking and a sword, having been able to lighten his steps so he could sneak past Madoc and his guards whenever he tried to leave. He's not bad with a sword, but he still has a lot to learn, being 17 and all. When he doesn't have a sword in his hands, he has an animal in them, i.e. a foal, a dog, or, at one point, a skunk that was calm enough to not spray him. Yeah, animal lover that can hold his own.

The two exchange banter and Locke shows show rare excitement for this revel, saying the two will have the time of their lives. Locke, who isn't as close with her, wonders where Rhyia is, but Cardan reveals she's not attending, instead going to visit some friends in the mortal world.

Her funeral as the boys saddle up with Oriana amd Madic and go to the revel.

Similar events occur, like Oriana telling the boys to be careful, Madoc talking to Dain and Balekin, and Locke leading Cardan through the revel so they can have a good time.

IT GOES DOWNHILL WHEN THE GREENBRIAR TWINS AND THEIR FRIENDS ARRIVE. Jude, her older sister Taryn, and their friends, Edir, a bard that can sing and play anyone under the table, Valerian, who's a sadist, and Nicasia, the princess of the Undersea.

Jude and Taryn may have the same face and body, but don't be fooled, Jude has horns, always wears a sword, and will slap you in a dress and then set it on fire without a second’s hesitation. Taryn, however, always has a bunch of flowers in her hair, always wears a dress, and uses words as her weapon. Did you know that she broke on of the most boisterous men in Faerie qith nothing but her words? True story. Edir is the guy that keeps them both in check, an order of Balekin's, which we'll learn later. He is also more of Jude's friend and Taryn's bed buddy, in SFW terms. Nicasia is Jude's friend, like FRIEND, and Valerian is the same, really, just more of an ass now that he has more even targets.

Everyone bows to these guys, even Cardan and a smirking Locke. That smirk vanishes when Taryn winks at Cardan, who Jude GLARES AT.

Locke feels the same way, cinfused and angry, but no time to think in it because Valerian storms toward a confused Cardan and grabs him by the collar, snarling that he can play dress up and make believe all he wants because it won't hide his plain hair or round ears or barn dog smell, so he shouldn't even bother.

Valerian throws him back and Locke rounds on Cardan, asking him what the hell that was between him and Taryn. Cardan brushes him off, as it was just a wink, not a lap dance. Before they can REALLY go at it, crying draws their attention and see that Jude just pincushioned someone who didn't bow, said someone nkw having a hole in their stomach and a slash across their torso. Taryn is annoyed, Nicasia and Valerian are trying not to laugh, and Edir, who's embarassed, is scolding Jude for losing it at a revel.

Jump to after the revel and the day of school. The boys do indeed get dirt kicked on their food, but instead of 'make me,' Cardan snaps, 'TRY me,' because Nicasia asks if he's as filthy as other human boys. Locke talks him down, but Valerian, kicking more dirt and even throwing some IN Cardan's face, asks if the two qould like them for friends.

Locke apologizes for Cardan, but Jude commands he prove it by dropping out of the tournament, it'll be less embarrassing than getting his ass beaten in front of everyone.

Nicasia spots one of the ear cuffs and pulls it off, asking if he stole it. Big mistake because the cuff burns her hand, as it is iron and iron hurts Faeries.

Cardan smirks and the group leaves, Locke scolding him for being stupid.

Later, at dinnner, after talk of Dain's coronation, Cardan, despite some minor objection from Rhyia, asks Madoc a question: May he please have a green sash for the tournament? Why? He would like to be a knight, please and thank you. Madoc chikes on his wine, Locke coughs to hide a laugh, Rhyia winces, and Oriana os shicked into silence.

Madoc gives it to him straight: he's not bad with a sword, he's good on his feet,and he's the best damned rider that anyone's ever seen, but no. He cannot compete for knighthood, on the count of being the furthest thing from a killer imaginable and just being in over his head.

Cardan protests that he can do just fine, but Madoc warns him to stop before he gets himself thrown in a dungeon instead if his room until the coronation of prince Dain.

Cardan relinquishes and we get the salt prank like before, except Locke is pissed beyond all reason at his foster brother. Cardan doesn't mind until he's grabbed by Edir and Valerian, Locke being pulled by the hair by Jude and both are thrown in the river, which has Nixies in it.

Thier supplies get yeeted, Locke gets pulled out by Valerian and is made to kiss Jude on the lips and both her horns, but, when asked, Cardan does not give up, vowing that he will never give up, which makes Jude laugh and the group leave.

Locke and Cardan walk home, get some baths, and go to bed, except they go to the mortal world with Rhyia and meet her friends Vivienne and Heather at the mall. Vivienne apologizes for Jude's behavior, and we learn that Rhyia is planning to leave Faerie, and is probably going alone.

The boys return and endure a lesson, but Jude pushes Locke's buttons, so Cardan pushes her into a tree. Challenge accepted.

TOURNAMENT TIME!! Cardan fairs wellin that Valerian is lazy, Edir is out of shape, and Jude got cocky, so he wins.

Jude fumes at him, later grabbing him by the tail on his belt amd demanding he beg for her forgiveness. He does... NOT! And spits in her face that she may push him down, but he'll pull her down with him, and it will hurt her like hell.

Taryn approaches him and expresses interest in him, saying that she once took both Edir and Nicasia from Jude because people just like a sensitive girl.

She leaves and the tournament eventually ends, which leads Cardan to return hime and meet Dain, who requested one of Madoc's people to tell Cardan one of Eldred's children had come for a visit.

Dain and Cardan get talking and Dain offers him something that isn't knighthood: spying. Plus one wish.

Cardan knows what he wants: to not be controled.

Granted, but Dain can still control him and the fruits of Faerie will still effect him.

Screwy, but deal, he's a spy now

STAY TUNED FOR PART 2!!!!!

[raeloganthesonic06fangirl]

Your QJ & DW in FNAF posts are killing me 🤣 But I’ve gotta know, what do you think Quackerjack’s reaction to the actual lore of the games would be? (Besides “this is needlessly complicated!”) We all know QJ has no problem with violence, but he’s not cool with murdering kids. And I don’t know if his actions would change when/if he realizes that the robots trying to kill him are dead children… 1/2

Thank you! FNAF is probably one of my favorite modern franchises right now, especially just because of how convoluted it's become, like, I really just dig that it's taken every direction it can and has gone to town with it. It doesn't really take itself too seriously, and I'd probably liken it to a modern day Goosebumps-esque sort of thing these days, where it just has fun with the spooks atmosphere and isn't really trying to give people nightmares. And yet, the fans themselves can create some really stellar content based around it.

I feel like, before I continue, we need to at the least acknowledge the fact that QuackerJack has honestly tried to murder Gosalyn at least twice because he decided she'd gone past her usefulness in his plans:

Like, yeah, he does seem to be more inclined to interact with children than adults, but he's also legit insane and thinks that alternative to people with gaming addiction is to just enslave them himself so he can repurpose thier skills for what he deems more useful in his eyes.

Like William Afton, QuackerJack is quite skilled at achieving mechanical marvels that have a tendency to create a questionably safe environment for the intended core audience. However, QuackerJack achieves this by utilizing his own technical know-how and by reverse engineering things he comes across to figure out how to modify it to do what he wants, so he's not using supernatural mumbo jumbo to do so, and if his devices turn on a kid, it's because it's just designed to do that in general, regardless of who's handling the item. Afton is just out to trap kids overall.

I suppose the key difference between him and Afton is that QuackerJack isn't harvesting children's undiluted pure agony to fuel robots to cheat death and resurrect the souls of his children that were killed and absorbed by his creations.

QuackerJack just wants to push the limits of what he can create. I think it's worth noting that, based on the original canon, QuackerJack is part of the Boomer generation, which, I should note, my Mom (I should note that she's actually my grandmother, but she adopted me, so that's why there's a generation gap that big between us) is of the same generation as well, and I've heard plenty about the types of toys that existes back then, such as kid sized working power tools made for tiny hands that actually sawed wood and stuff, or small working clothes irons that plugged into a wall and were basically a hot plate for kids, or the literal Atomic Lab for kids that had actual utonium in it, and the metal melting die cast kit where you can melt metal and pour the hot molten metal into molds to make little metal army men and horses and stuff.

Which, honestly, sounds pretty epic, albeit probably not very safe by today's standards. My Mom usually has an expression of nostalgia if I mention these sorts of items, but she'd also absolutely would not want me anywhere near a toy with a hot plate as a key feature.

That in mind, it does suddenly make sense as to why exactly QuackerJack would have a skewed sense of safety when it comes to his retro style of toy making. He's not intentionally being malicious; he's just offended when someone takes a potshot at something he's poured his entire adult life into fine tuning. And, given that it's most certainly canon that he's got a few things wrong with how his brain ticks; this manifests in some form of: "If you're not going to play this my way, then you're not going to play at all."

All that said, I could definitely see him reacting to finding out what exactly is going on with the Animatronics with probably a "... What... the actual heck?" sort of dawning reaction, and then probably expressing the desire to kneecap Afton with the pipe wrench he found in the Parts and Services room.

Although, since I've done a bit of math to figure out on what scale Darkwing and QuackerJack would be in this sort of thing, I have to admit that imagining a 2ft 8in bird dressed as a jester running after some guy while swinging around a spanner to decimate the guy's legs does sound a tad ridiculous.

But it would probably be satisfying.

QuackerJack: This guy is out here harming kids with his robots that are masked to look like cuddly toys!

Darkwing: 🤨

QuackerJack: OH, SHUT UP, MINE ARE NOT THE SAME THING!

[katyobsesses]

Katy!! if you want to, how about you rank glee competitions outfits (not necessarily new directions) <3

ooooo Myle!! This is a fun ask! Sorry I'm so late responding to it I've been away from my computer a lot this week and didn't have time to sit down and rank all of these!

I've put a little tier list thing together for the ND outfits here

and the reasoning and actual ranking is under the cut (worst to best) as well as some images of my fave Non ND competition outfits :)

S6 Sectionals/Regionals:

I hate it. I understand the reasoning for it but I hate it. Flashbacks to Secondary school. I know just how uncomfortable these would be, how they dance in them I have no idea. Like they look cute but NO. Just no. You're McKinley students now Warblers, learn to wear other clothes. You can dress how you want now. You could have honored Dalton by wearing navy and red and not blazers. Apparently I really hate this competition look... I thought S2 Regionals would be the losers but...

S2 Nationals:

I actually almost forgot this one! I hate it <3 the little flower at the bust for the girls, the empire waist, the white ties for the boys, it looks like they're wearing two tone shoes too 🤢 I just... no. Obviously they chose these before Kurt came back from the Warblers... huh maybe that's why most of the S2 looks are terrible. They didn't have Kurt there to guide them. Maybe the reason the only good look in S2 is the sectional's one is because Kurt maybe helped out with ideas before he transferred. Anyway I hate this look. It's boring while being way too busy, but also just black... idk i hate it.

S2 Regionals:

I love the original songs, Loser Like Me is Iconic, and sure these outfits are also Iconic but not in a good way! Those dresses are terrible, they look like bad bridesmaid dresses and they're both shiny and completely creased and the three quarter leggings are a choice. (I love the shoes though) Also the boys are litterally just wearing black, at least wear a matching tie!

S1 Sectionals:

The Only reason this is ranked higher than the S2 Regionals is the lack of leggings. it's just boring and also I hate the flats the girls are wearing and the way the belts sit just under the bust on the girls.

S1 Regionals:

Yes, this is Iconic, sure but... I've always hated it. ALL of the girls look pregnant, not just Quinn, the beehive hairdo is a Choice, and I'm not a fan of halternecks. Also the colour gold isn't the prettiest shade, and I hate the texture on the dresses. (that being said the dresses really remind me of this one I was givn from my cousin when she was clearing out her closet that I wore once for a New Years Eve party with friends in maybe my first year of uni in 2014 (or maybe the year before) except mine was black and strapless)

S5 Nationals:

Is there a reason for the pink flowers? or the pink in general? Like are they meant to symbolise something? The dresses are cute but I'm not the biggest halterneck fan and I think it annoys me where the belt lies on them because it looks like the dress is meant to be an empire waist and then it's cut awkwardly by a ribbon. It's a cute dress, why do that? I love the petticoats and the fullness of the skirt, and the shoes are cute. I don't like the boy's outfits. why are they keeping them buttoned the entire time? it makes the fit of them look awkward! the last time they wore white blazers (S3 secionals) they unbuttoned them as they danced and the lines looked better. I hate that I don't really like these outfits because I love the setlist so much and it makes me cry everytime.

S3 Sectionals:

Love it! The boys look interesting and dynamic for once, i love the tuxs(?) a lot and Quinn and Tina look so good 😍 I love thier skirts so much and their shoeessss! Kurt and Blaine were definately the ones to push for everyone wearing bowties.

S2 Sectionals:

again with the three quarter length leggings... and all of them are different lengths too, i mean i know it's 2010 but like... no! But i love this anyway. I love the ombre look and the shoes are adorable. I also really like the burgandy shirts the boys are wearing.

S4 Sectionals:

I love the dresses and the shoes and the boys outfits are nice with the blazers with gold piping but the girls dresses are just inferior versions of the S3 Regionals dresses, though i do prefer the wider band at the waist I miss the red petticoat and the neckline isn't as pretty or flattering as the S3 regionals dress.

S6 Invitationals:

I love these looks so much! Finally switching up the shirt colours for the boys again instead of them in just black or white! it's such a pretty blue too and the shades of the dresses and the shirt match! I love the lace on the girl's dresses (i just recently rewatched this episode and was mezmerised by the dresses) and the strappy heals are really cute.

S4 Regionals:

😍 the girl's dresses are so so so so soooooo pretty! I love the purple and the little belt and the fullness of the skirt and the neckline and the black petticoat anahsdkaghk. and the shoes are so cute too. Great look!

The boys however 😬 I don't like it. Why cardigans? They look like they're wearing school uniforms and ugly ones at that. The cardigans are baggy on all of them! I would have preferred maybe a simple black shirt rolled up the the elbows and purple tie combo, OR just a purple shirt with sleaves rolled to the elbows (kinda like S2 sectionals) also their ties are ever so slightly lighter than the girl's dresses and that is really annoying me.

S3 Regionals:

Yes. just YES. I love the fullness of the skirts, I love the red petticoats for some McKinley High spirit, I love the gold accents at the neckline and the belt and the headband, the girls also have these cute shoes too. And then there's the boys with their all black with gold accents! I love that too! I maybe would have had them wearing something red - maybe the shirts, maybe the bow ties, maybe the suspenders - but I still love the look!

S3 Nationals:

The t-strap shoes 😍 I love the cute sort of vintage style the girls have with the shoes and the hair! I would have maybe added a red lip on all of the girls to complete the look, like Rachel has and maybe had rachel have her hair up too, but I guess she's the lead soloist so it makes some sence to make her stand out a bit from the other girls. I alo love these dresses. I think my favourite dresses are the ones where they have really full skirts. The boys are cute and I like the matching pop of red in the ties but I maybe would have lost the vests, personally, and maybe they should be wearing bowties to match the little bow on the girl's dresses. hmm maybe all black with red bowties and a red belt/cumberbund as an inverted look of the girls and also maybe long sleaves rolled to the elbow.

Non ND competition outfits I love:

The Warblers!

Yes, their uniforms may uncomfortably remind me of my own School Uniform for Secondary (ours were red and black striped ties and solid black blazers with black skirts/trousers but close enough) but they are iconic 🥰

Harmony and whatever her Show Choir was called.

I love the boy's outfits with the untied bowties, but most of all I love the girl's dresses and the slicked back hair and red lips. I wish Harmony had been a sort of antagonist in S4 like it seemed they were alluding too with her line of "I'm only a Sophmore" I love her.

Vocal Adrenaline S2 Nationals

I think I just like it when the boys are wearing a coloured shirt, also these dresses are stunning and I remember wanting to find something like them for my Prom! (my Prom dress was kinda like these but long and one shoulder and not as poofy) - I also like the bohemian rhapsody look for the guys i just don't like the girl's dresses much

The Rainbow Connection dudes:

I hope they had more members than in this image... that is not a regulation team. BUT I love the fact that they look like butlers.

John Baptiste and his Show Choir:

Yes. the girls poofy dresses, the boys colourful suits, the costume change. just yes. these guys understand show choir. (however the turquoise of the girls dresses with the blue of the boys is annoying me)

S6 The Falconeers (or whatever)

I mean... they had falcons with them, plus cute turquoise dresses with sparkles, what's not to like!?

Vocal Adrenaline S6 Invitationals:

These guys went all out, I mean it's hideous but... wow

(that's all that's coming to my head in terms of Non ND outfits but a lot of the time they were better than NDs lol)

[im-totally-not-an-alien]

Final Fantasy 7 prompts # 60

1. Sephiroth can speak to Cloud telepathically, even though he's dead. Cloud tells no one

Sephiroth is mostly sassy, but also tends to praise his "Precious puppet"

2. Sephiroth and Cloud were fighting in an abandoned mall in the Midgar ruins when a stray Thundaga activated the old speakers/radio. It started playing the chocobo theme and Sephiroth is greatly amused.

3. Cloud got badly wounded by a monster and the wound refused to heal.

After a week of Tifa fussing over him he wakes up fully healed...with a little ball of purple goo staring at him adoringly.

"Mother!" It called out to him, raising its little goo arms as if asking him to lift it up.

"Tifa!" He yelled, "I'm hallucinating again!"

"On it!"

_____________________

Aka Cloud "gave birth" to an eldrich goo child the size of his fist and isn't sure what to do.

Also

Vincent: Do you"hallucinate" being a mother often?"

Cloud: Fuck you.

Vincent: :)

4. Zack Fair collecting all the dog pokemon

5. Chaos said something rude about Strife.

Cloud punched to the left of him instinctively, causing a little blue black cloud to appear, followed by a smack and Chaos cursing.

Aka Chaos was talking crap and Cloud somehow used his eldrich power to reach into Vincints subconscious just to punch the demon in the face...while not even knowing how or why he did it.

6. Genesis makes a bet with Sephiroth.

If the general can seduce a curtain mysterious spikey haired blond, then he'll eat an entire copy of LOVELESS.

If Sephiroth losses he has to call an emergency assembly for SOLDIER and do a 6 hour long speech about how LOVELESS is the greatest thing ever

Sephiroth gladly accepts.

Post time travel AU

7.

"Who enhanced you and why?" Tseng asked calmly, staring the blond in the face

"More importantly, how?" Professor Hojo asked, never taking his eyes off of the newest specimen.

"I was created by Jenova for Sephiroth. The how is unimportant."

The atmosphere in the interrogation room was tense for a few moments, the silence only broken by the mad scientists sudden laughter. "Perfect! This is perfect! When would you like to meet him?!"

"Immediately." Was the blonds reply. Tseng had an awful feeling in his gut, telling him they shouldn't let the man with the blue cat eyes near thier General.

You could go with psyco Cloud teaming up with Sephiroth. Or...

Cloud was given access to Shinras most vulnerable and important elites just by stating the truth.

He falls back on his Reunion instincts, proving what he said to be true. He always knows what Sephiroth wants or needs and brings it too him without prompting. He appears by his side whenever the silverette thinks of him, startling the poor man too many times to count. He even fought side by side with him, letting the instinct take over so that thier fighting styles blended together fluidly.

He didn't realize until it was too late. Until the instinct became too hard to fight. Until Sephiroth fell in love with the one person who became his everything.

8. Elderich-ified Soldiers. Like Safer Sephiroth, but its Every. Single. SOLDIER. All in thier own unique forms.

9. You know how Sephiroth can kinda possess anyone who holds enough of his cells?

Cloud has a lot of Sephiroths cells.

These cells can be transferred via biological components.

Cloud has kissed Tifa at some point, right?

And its likely that the cells are capable of making copies of themselves like normal cells.

So yeah.

Aka Sephiroth overtaking Tifa and forcing Cloud to kill her.

I'm only slightly sorry.

10. Cat eye au where time traveler Cloud began raising the toddler remnants after giving Vincent a book containing everything he knew about the events of BC, CC, OG, AC, and DoC and sending him on his way.

Cloud raised the three little imps in a cabin, far from civilization. Sadly, this didn't seem to be enough to keep people away.

"Leave."

The silver General simply stared at them. "Are they..." He took a moment to steady himself, his eyes filled with hope as he stared at the three silvered haired children peeking out from behind the blonds legs, "Are they mine?"

11. DoC Cloud wandering through the remains of a mansion in Midgar that was once owned by a deceased SOLDIER named Genesis Rhapsodos. He quickly discovered the redhead was once friends with the Silver General and the man who origanally wielded the buster sword.

The best part? He found a collection of diaries. One of which lead to a secret stash of blackmail material against the Silverette. Who knew Seph looked so good in a dress?

Cloud is cackling.

12. Cloud got turned into a frog. It wasn't so bad until he realized he couldn't turn back.

The trip to Aeriths church was long and embarrassing, even though no one really noticed him.

He didn't expect to see two frogs waiting for him on Lilly pads, "Hey buddy!" Said the purple frog wielding a mini buster sword, "You're late!"

13. Cloud was supposed to go back in time to before Gast found Jenova and stopped everything from happening. How did he end up back under the Nebilheim mansion?

Fortunately, he gets to break out Zack and his past self. He even has the added bonus of adding Vincent to his team early on.

Unfortunately, he doesn't know how to explain his likeness to the cadet in his arms to the suspicious Turk and SOLDIER.

14. An accident occurs that leaves Tifa and Denzel temporarily blind. Cloud becomes incredibly overprotective and all but becomes a seeing eye dog for them.

Unfortunately, this is also when Genesis inflicts catastrophe apon Gaia

(Damn it Gen! You will finish your character arc!)

15. Hojo was in the process of trying to create human/animal hybrids when Time traveler Cloud and Cadet Cloud fell through the roof into the vat of chemicals and mako that was being used for the expirament.

The older blond swam over to the side, before throwing the unconscious cadet that he had been fighting mere moments before onto dry ground.

The time traveler had enough sense left to GTFO with his past self. Slicing through the walls of the lab before Hojo could activate security protocols.

The only problem is that they both had blond cat ears and a matching tail. So much for stealth

Amphibia: Ivy on The Run and After the Rain Reviews

Hello all you happy people! We’re into week two and after far too long we finally get some answers.. well okay not the ones we thought we were getting but hey you take what you get sometimes. Point is it’s a big week, with a fun ivycentric episode that fleshes her and Felcia out and a far more serious episode that finally explains a few things, not saying what things because spoilers. So join me under the cut for some smiles, some tears, and a bit of Muay Thai and Myagi-Do as I break things down. 

Ivy on the Run:

I was pleased as punch to find out Ivy was getting an episode. While I couldn’t say she was a faviorite of mine, I always found Katie Crowns performance exceptional, and her a delight to watch. The character wasn’t bad.. but EVERY episode up to this one involving her was about her and Sprig’s relationship which while really fucking precious left little room to flesh her out beyond a love of ambushes and being into the same kid stuff Sprig was into. 

This episode not only corrects that but also takes another suprising leap for the series in having Ivy clearly be the main character of the episode. While this isn’t the first episode to spotlight a citzen of wartwood.. it’s the first where the Plantars are side characters in the plot instead of just as important as whoever got focus or usually more important. Here Ivy is the lead of the episode: We open on her waking up for the day (Or rather having been awake for hours to trick her alarm clock), get a sense of her personality.. and of the episodes conflict: Ivy’s desire to be free and explore versus her mothe’rs constnat anal renttientve insistence she do tea related stuff like fold swans properly. IT’s a decent enough conflict that gets elevated by hte twist at the end. 

So she runs out after that to meet up with Sprig, and ambush him because that’s how thier relationship works. And what I really like here is while their relationships still present in the episode it’s thankfully not the focus or even realy lreated. Their clearly together, it’s just not the focus of the episode> Just some nice ranch dressing atop this salad. While they go to hunt for glitter beetles, Anne is teaching Polly, Muay Thai. The martial art of champions.. specifically one eyed ones who like to put tiger in front of their moves. As for why she took it up her mom wanted somewhere to put her energy, as seen in a flashback with a young Anne adorably banging on pans while singing her own version of Wannabe by the Spice Girls. It’s fucking precious. 

So the couple happily go beetle hunting i’ts precious.. but Ivy’s patience with her mother starts to run out as her mother loudly interupts her hunt to return her for tea practice: stirring it, setting tables, folding swans that sorta thing. All things she clearly dosen’t WANT to do or like and gives the impression Felcia is trying to force her daughter to become more like her and less like herself which... no. Just no. 

Ivy eventually hits her limit with this bullshit, tells her mother off and then stomps off to her room whiel her Mom fails ot understand that MAYBE being hypercirtical of your daughter, even if it turns out you have a good reason, might backfire. Ivy is encouraged by her posters, great scene by the way, to run away and leave town, and take Sprig with her.. whose relcutant as he talked himself up as being really well liked and savy out there but was just okay in practice. 

Meanwhile Polly and Anne continue training but Polly can’t get it as she just can’t calm down and focus, and Anne easily blocks her. In constrast Wally shows up, having apparently been watching them. 

And picks it up instantly. I can see why; Wally seems a bit scatterbrained due to his weird and wonderful nature.. but we’ve seen him be entirely capable when the chips are down, and to be a talented musician. So while he’d SEEM like he’d lack focus, it’s probably way easier to him than the impatient tadpole who just wants to kick ass without getting it takes a few steps. 

Meanwhile Sprig tries to talk his girlfriend out of running away together at 10 only for Sylvia to tail them with those bee phone things she used earlier.. and also be there, as once they clear those out she’s waiting and both end up at the Muay Thai class. Things finally hit their breaking point and Ivy wishes she never had family... and I think this is what finally gets it in Felicia’s head she messed up. She meant well.. but sh’es clearly been so hard on her child that, even if she instnatnly regrets it, she’s willing to disown her own mother if it means getting away from her. 

So Felica gives her a way out: Martial Arts Match. Because nothing says parental love like fighting your daughter for her freedom. Though in her defense things are pretty fair: three matches, and Ivy just needs to win ONE by getting a point on her, like in a martial arts competition. I only know that’s what they were going for because I binged Cobra Kai last month along with the first two Karate Kids. 

And that refrence isn’t for nothing as Felcia easily dominates the first two matches using Miyagi-Do esque moves i.e. pure defense, and with a Miyagi style lesson inside as for the final one.. she has Ivy repeat the various tea things she’d had her do, and just like that amazing fucking scene from Karate Kid, Ivy can now fight and realizes her mother was training her the whole time, as her mom simply wanted her to be readly and as for why Felcia herself is a karate master, she picked it up while gathering tea as naturally it’s incredibly dangerous in amphibia.  

So Felcia let’s her daughte win and expalins she just wanted her to be safe.. which is nice but while her devistaiton earlier clearly shows it, it still dosen’t QUITE justify how hard she was or not telling her why when her daughter is a clear tomboy. I do get the Miyagi-Do training style: it builds muscle memory and means you can defend without thinking, fight without having to plan every punch and kick. It’s brilliant.. but you have to match the training to the student. Daniel hated his traning too.. but Miyagi clearly KNEW he would, knew he’d give out and set it all up that way. Felcia.. nearly pushed her daughter into running away and never apologized. It’s not all terrible as there is the implciation this whole match was Felcia realizing she had to make it clera what she was doing, but it’s still fairly torubling the episode never adresses her behavior outright., even if they make up and Felciia plans to take her along next time. Also Polly punches wally in the face... eh he’l lbe fine. 

Final Thoughts on Ivy on the Run: This one was decent. As said the final part feels a bit... ehhh..as it feels they don’t adress Felicia’s controlling attitude enough.. but it dosen’t detract from a pretty fun episode, especially the Muay Thai stuff. That was an unexpected treat. And let’s face it after recently getting in deep with the franchise thanks to cobra kai, I can’t hate anything that reminds me of  the Karate Kid. In a good way at least. 

After The Rain:

Well this was both a long time coming and as painful as I expected. And after over a year and a half, we FINALLY get some answers.. not ALL the answers but some. Look you know what this episode is about, I know what this episode is about, let’s get cracking in round 2. 

So Anne’s got a letter, anne’s got a letter I wonder who it’s from. Marcy.. it’s from Marcy. Turns out she’s ready to go to the first temple, and even sent them a check list: weapons, food (check and check) and armor. Hop Pop already thought of that.. but instead of badass and practical armor.. it’s padded sumo suits that they can’t move in because “less mobility means less trouble”. Or you’ll get eaten by a hawk.. which given this show is probably also on fire and can shoot acid out of its’ eyes. Or lasers. Or acid lasers. The point is their gonna die. THey also naturally need the music box... which Hop Pop about craps himself hearing. Gee it’s almost like not getting the box sooner when you knew damn well abotu the temple thing and that they’d need it kinda bit you on the froggy bottom Hopidiah. 

It gets worse for him as while he mentions his ‘contacts” again.. that night he goes to dig it up. Problem is, Anne follows him when she hears footsteps, and while she initially assumes i’ts just him being a weirdo and plans to suprise him... we instead get the gut punch we’ve been anticpating for the last year and a half.  Hop Pop shouts about the box being gone, clearly panicked... and Anne hears him, utterly devistated and rightfully FURIOUS. He confesses the truth, clearly feeling guilty for what he’s done and lying all this time but Anne dosen’t want to hear it and storms off. 

Yeah as you can tell this is a rough one. So next morning Hop Pop, who clearly hasn’t slept and given his surrogate grandaughter just rightfully walked out on him why would he, confesses to the kids what he did. And while neither like what he did .. they prioritize getting Anne back, sending him to go fix his mess while they find the box. 

The box turns out to not be the only thing missing: various other things around town have been stolen, including a talisman that if Maddie dosen’t get it back will have horrifying consequences. Classic Maddie. As for why Swampy Joe has the answer: the magpie beetle, a beetle that emerges once every 20 years to steal stuff to use as a shell to impress mates. They find the box.. but it’s in a seatle of beatles and soon get swamped.  Meanwhile Anne’s returned to the cave and... okay i’m just going to have to power through or this episodes going to kill me with sadness. After some bits about her and her rock rocky, Hop Pop finds her and she still has nothing to say to him, again for good reaosn, but before he can get to telling her WHY he did it, they hear the others crying for help and Anne tries to rescue them herself, only helping hop pop do so when he points out they NEED to and even if she rightfully dosen’t trust him she needs to for now. THey save the kids.. and Anne STILL wants to leave.

We then get an even bigger gut punch. It turns out Hop Pop didn’t hide the box for some big reveal.. regarding the box. Turns out it’s not the box itself, his book just says it’s dangerous and w’ell likely find out any specifics it had next week. It’s Hop Pop’s lingering trauma. While we don’t find out why the Box is dangerous.. we do find out what hapepned to their parents. And I just want to say before we get into that Bill Farmer’s acting this WHOLE episode is some of hte finest, if not THE finest in his career. HIs guilt, his pain.. it’s all so raw and palpable. Brenda Song’s no slouch either, Anne’s pain and anger is likewise very well done, but Bill is far and away the mvp of the episode.. and this scene is why. 

He reveals he’s been so cautious, so scared for the kids and so overly protective in general.. because of how the kids parents died, something they don’t blame him for but he does: He was out of town on buisness.. when a pair of herons attacked. Sprig and Polly got to the family bunker in time.. their parents... weren’t so lucky. It’s not the big bombastic arc related death we all thought was coming.. but I like it for it’s brutal nightmarish simplicity. They didn’t die some heroic death, they aren’t still here.. they just died like SO MANY background frogs have. Two wild giant animals they coudln’t possibly defend against got em. Nothing could’ve been done no matter what Hop Pop thinks, theirs no way they coudl’ve been saved, and i’ts LUCKY their children didn’t share the same fate. But their gone and it gives a new, awful meaning to Hop Pop’s overproectivness. Before it was mildly justified if a bit strict.. now.. i’ts him trying not to loose what he has left. Trying to hold on tight to his grandkids so he dosen’t loose anyone else.

He hid the box because his trauma and guilt were so severe he did something very stupid, and regretted it ever since and begs anne to forgive him in THE best line read of Bill Farmer’s long and storied career. And she does, hugging her Hop Pop gently, realizing that while he fucked up.. she gets WHY he did.. and that he’s sorry for it. He wasn’t tyring to keep her from going home or any messed up shit.. he just was trying to keep her and his other kids alive. And as Sprig and Polly say it’s not his fault, it never could’ve been.. he can’t help but feel that way. You just feel.. powerless when you loose someone, like you could’ve done something even though 9/10 you couldn’t have and it leaves a hole you never quite fill. So this hit like a truck. But our family is reconclied and the kids get a look at the entry in  Hop Pop’s ancestral book. What does it say besides it bad? what does this mean? We’ll find out next week. For now it’s just good to have them all together again. 

Final Thoughts on After the Rain: This episode is a masterpiece. It’s exepertly crafted, sticks in a few gags for flavor and only has the sprig and polly plot to help keep the main meat of the plot as light as it needs to be.. and it works. The few scenes we get with Anne and Hop Pop are just plain brutal and exactly what’s needed. It’s one of the series best, painful, raw and with a twist I dind’t see coming. I expected, again like most of us for the kdis parents deaths to be tied into it.. but instead.. it’s just trauma. But it’s satisfying enough that it feels like a great payoff, that it wasn’t some big dark secret like misdirected... it was just an old man who didn’t want to loose what family he had left. And that’s fucking brilliant. 

Next Week: THE FIRST TEMPLE BABY! The Plantars and Marcie head into the woods to fight moblins and ggghosts! I mean.. that is what the forest temple is right?

stuff for people who don’t know MDZS or the Untamed.

The man in purple is Jiang Cheng courtesy Jiang Wanyin

ths takes places during Danfan Mountain the sub singularity gose until the Defeat Of Jin Guanyao . This is before Wei Wuxian ( in Mo Xuanyu body ) shows up .

Lan Zhan is the character at the end.

yes I know Wu Song would’ve been born where Qishan Nie is

Culivation in Fate term is a term for a type of Magecraft where a golden core is need

Im assuming MDZS takes place after the Han dynasty( After the three Kingdoms ) but before the Song Dynasty ( Before When the Fictional events of Water margin took place ) ——-

“Oh great, we got Separate From Ming at the Start of a Singularity,yet again.” Lin Chong Said as he and his Blood brother Lu Zhishen walked under the beautiful starry night sky looking for their master in the smountains.

“Ming ,Ming Where are you ?”Lu Zhishen yelled in Concern as the two bandits scanned the dark forest looking for him.

“He couldn’t landed that far with Cao Cao and Xiaohun Dun “ Lin Chong Said as he heard the sound of Struggling and someone speaking “Their this way I can hear it but, we should be low. I hear someone eles there as well.”

“Thats easier for me than you Chong ” Lu Zhishen joked looking up at his friend .

“Listen here you eggplant colored tightwad,we have no idea what your talking about!” yelled What looked to be a young Chinese female Struggling between the Ropes of a net glaring down at the Eggplant Man she was talking about.

“Usually I would wait until I got back to Yunmeng Jiang Sect to interrogate the likes of you.”

The man dressed in purple robes redirected his sight on the woman and Man in blue who were also struggling to get of the nets their weapons did nothing to cut them out the nets.

”However You claim that these two are Cao Cao and Xiaohun Dun , People who have been dead for centuries “The man Continued

“You,the young “lady” in strange white clothes ,tell me how long you’ve been practicing Demonic Cultivation to be able to summon the vengeful ,spirit of a person like Cao Cao.”

“One ,I’m Male, I just like putting on Cute outfits, “ the Very Feminine Chinese male Said pompous yet agressive matter .

“Second ,What the hell are you talking about ? ,I don’t even know what Demonic Cultivation is!”

Lin Chong and Lu Zhisen arrived to see this scene with Ming, thier Master unfold. However, their gazes were on the Man in Violet robes. His stance seemed to demand respect and those almond shaped eyes narrowed in anger determined to get an answer out of Ming.

“Chong ,Dose that guy in purple remind you anyone” Lu Zhishen whispered

“Wears purple ,puts his Hair in a bun thats lot of people in the 108 stars, Zhishen, “ Chong Said looking at the Man to see what the big deal was .

“Look at his Face , he’s almost an Exact match for Wu Song “

Lin Chong squinted his eyes and Studied the man Closer as his eyes Widened.

“Yea If Wu Song always had a Stick up his ass.”

“You think we’re dealing with a Wu Song Alter “Lu Zhishen Questioned.

“Consider this guys Resemblance to Wu Song and that he was even born somewhere eles 50/50 chance we’re dealing with some guy who just really looks like him or possible reincarnation. We might even be looking at an ancestor.” Lin Chong said

“Anyways , Let’s fight him and get Ming and the others out there.”

The Man in purple glared at Ming for second before stepping over menacinglyn ready to interrogate further when Lu Zhishen rushed out the brush and slammed his monk’s spade into man’s side blindsiding him and sending him flying into a tree. He winced upon impact with the wood.

Ming just smirked “Good work Lu Zhishen, you really Sent that jerk flying.”

“I’m not done yet! “

The man had a whip in his hand all of a sudden but, there wasn’t anywhere on his Body that could’ve been hooked to as the man in purple used it to attack one of Zhishens hands by the wrist

“Argh!, It burns “ Lu Zhishen thought as he dropped his weapon in pain.

The man in purple attack him quickly and relentlessly with a wrath that matched his own .Lu Zhishen quickly tried picking up his weapon but , the man in purple predict his movement and whipped his hand away. Lu Zhisen looked without a weapon he had to fight him hand to hand and that whip seemed to be desgined for Spirits as it sparked with a violet lightining .Zhishen used his arms to block the mans relentless whip attacks . Lu Zhishen cringed as he was lashed all round his body .Then Lu Zhishen saw an opening the man seemed to getting cocky and grabbed the length of whip despite it burning alot managed to fling the man up into air.The man let go of the whip not expecting the sudden gutsy action as another figure leaped up from the trees.

"The Majestic Star makes his appearance!" Lin Chong said his silhouette high lighted by the moon.

The man in Purple was surprise at Lin Chong’s Apperance. “Lan Zhan ?” he thought before Lin Chong attacked.

“I Guess its my Job to bring you back down to earth .” Lin Chong said falling right past the man.” But I’m sure this will be a safe fall,for me at least .” Lin Chongs Sectioned staffed Spear wrapped around the Man as they fell .The Lancer Class servant smile as upon impact with ground he slammed the man in purple down knocking him out .

His eyes then looked at a man dressed in white cutting Ming and the others down from the nets and looked dumbfounded at Lin Chongs appearance . Lin Chong stared at him for a moment before Smiling” I see someone shares my sensiable taste in hair style and everyone said the half up style wouldn’t catch on.“

The Man in white was flattered before hearing screaming from the woods. Another man in purple whose Face looked very simlar to other man in purple came dragging an unconcious Lad in Yellow by the ponytail.

“Finally! I found You ya damn Alter !” The Man said “Here take your Little piece of Shit too !”The man in purple was just about to stirr Awake when the Lad in yellow was thrown at his Head knocking him out again .

“That throwing arm is that the Actaul Wu Song?!” The Two Liangshan Bandits looked at the Man in purple as he looked at them.

“Lin Chong ,Lu Zhishen!”

The Man in white Clearly Confused was approached by Cao Cao.

” We’ll explain this to you later .” She said patting the man on the back .

( dunno if I've sent him to Alastor yet, but uh, he's gonna bug him, so here ya go x3 ) He's just curiously watching him, tail giving an innocent flicker. "Yanno, you wear an awful lotta red for an over lord." He smirks, looking for an opening reaction. "So, what, are you like the hotel's pimp or somethin'?" ( omfg Blitz, please lol Iregretnothing! :'D )

| Muse interactions Alastor strolled into the lobby of the hotel, a mess at the moment but what would you expect from this mess. Then again he did sign up to help here because it was such a mess and that just meant it had the possibility of being a DISASTER! Exactly what he was wanting to witness. He just didn't think imps would also be lurking about the place? He found it impossible enough for sinners to ever go to heaven so why would hell-born creatures even come about?

"Seems we're getting a bit of an infestation issue going on here." Was Al's way of greeting said, guest. Hey, he never once told the princess he would be nice after all. Eyeing them as they were looking him over themself. Flicking thier tail despite how the motion came off you could just see in the creature's eyes the snark they were going to be giving here.

"Yanno, you wear an awful lotta red for an overlord."

Alastor would have just ignored that but he paid a second to glance over his attire. His red pinstripe suit was his staple look.

"So, what, are you like the hotel's pimp or somethin'?"

A lowly chuckle escapes Al for a moment. Why was that always the first thing that came to be made when it came to his appearance? He assumed it came down to his dressing style.

"You, it's professional to keep oneself looking as clean as possible no?" he began with a static building as he was despite the crooked smile curling over his face. He bent down to look down at the imp making use of his height to loom over them. "like a butch wears an apron when they wack away at animals to keep the blood from staing? Well if you already wearing red you don't need to worry as much no do you?" standing up straight after as he chuckled more enjoying his little explanation. "Not that is any business of yours I just keep this place from being any more of a laugh than it's been. Though I'm not above heard blood when annoyed enough~" he suggested out to the imp lining his threat with a wide brim girn thier way. "Or to help keep the pests out of the lobby." clearly seeing Blitz as such in this moment. "Which brings a better question what do I own the honor of your visit here for?"

[hintofcolor]

Things I’ve managed to convince myself are canon:

Dick was born in Romania and spent his entire childhood traveling with the circus not once settling down therefore when his parents died in America (supposedly just another country they stopped in) he was forced to stay there. Meaning dick was an illegal immigrant for a long time while Bruce constantly was trying to use his money and power to get Dick legal without him leaving the country OR anyone finding out

This also means Dick couldn’t really speak English when he moved in with Bruce (this is backed up by him constantly dismantling the English language in the YJ cartoon)

All of the bat kids were bullied brutally in school

Bruce encouraged them to fight back just like Alfred did with him (“never throw the first punch but if get hit make sure they’re the ones that stay down”)

Dick spent a couple weeks in juvie after his parents died and it was the worst couple weeks of his life

Dick had a childhood crush on Wally (who is straight) when dick was 16 he sat Wally down and told him. He told him he expected nothing out of this confession he just hated feeling like he was lying to Wally, Wally understood and was really nonchalant about it nothing changed in their relationship

Jason grew up loving wonder woman and considered her his greatest inspiration in being a hero when he was robin

In return Diana absolutely adored Jason

When Jason got older his respect for Diana only grew and Diana constantly stood up for him, even going as far as (subtly) threatening Bruce a couple times

Jason can’t handle the smell of drugs at all, he always has to wear a filtered mask during drug busts just in case

Jason used to smoke but ever since coming back the smoke just reminds him of the explosion (I saw this somewhere I can’t remember where shout out to you tho)

Jason hates the color green

Tim was severely neglected as a child

Tim learned multiple different languages from all the nanny’s he’s had

Tim is an amazing photographer

All of Bruce’s kids are really close with Selina and go to her to talk or just if they need a break from Bruce and she absolutely adores it

This is one of the main reasons Bruce wanted to marry her

Bruce might be a little awkward and socially inept but he is a good father and loves all of his kids and even tho he might slip up sometimes he would NEVER (I’m looking at you Tim king) NEVER EVER intentionally hurt one of his kids physically or mentally BECAUSE THAT IS EXTEREMELY OUT OF CHARACTER @ ANY WRITER WHO HAS MADE BRUCE A JERK GOD LEARN YOUR CHARACTER JEEZ

Damian is a phenomenal artist and is considered a prodigy

It is something he keeps to himself however

Both Dick and Tim have gone and worked under Selina during thier robin days for a few weeks

The only person who is close to Dicks level when it comes to acrobatics is Selina

There are days where you are only allowed to speak in your native tongue to help Everyone keep up their language skills (Tim speaks Filipino dick speaks Romani Jason speaks Italian Stephanie speaks Portuguese Damian speaks Arabic bruce switches Cassie speaks Chinese) these are the days duke feels like slamming his head through a wall

All of the bat kids have green lantern shirts

Tim has a habit of stealing clothes from literally anyone

Tim prefers tea over coffee

Ace and Titus are both trained service dog however Titus is Damians specifically while Ace is trained to alert Alfred of Bruce and to alert Bruce of Dick Tim and Jason

Bruce is think about getting another dog for Cassie steph and duke because he doesn’t want to overwhelm Ace with 3 more people

Nobody in that spoiled family except for Jason and Alfred can make ANYTHING other that ramen cereal and toast

Dick is insanely healthy because that’s how he grew up in the circus AND the manor

Bruce once lit the refrigerator on fire trying to cook. No one knows how. He denies he ever did such to this day

Dick was considered a heartthrob as a teen and actually was featured on vogue in native dress and took the opportunity to talk about his culture

Vickie was fuming but so was Lois

Dick dresses like Harry styles. Convince me otherwise. I dare you.

However his go to look is a Hawaiian short tucked into black skinny jeans and black converse

Just like Selina everyone in the batfamily has a tendency to confide in Dinah

No homophobia sexism or racism is allowed in the Wayne house hold if you display any of the following you will promptly be kicked out. It has happened before

Cassie has punched lex Luther in the face at a gala

Bruce laughed

Cass has also only worn sweats and a sports bra to a gala

Cass is a ballet dancer and likes teaching her brothers the moves she has learned

When Bruce came back from the dead and found out the justice league thought Tim was going insane with grief and didn’t do anything about it he yelled and screamed for a solid hour. Then he went silent. for weeks he didn’t say a word. It was the most terrifying he had ever been

Duke hangs on to the fact that he is the only meta allowed in Gotham with absolute pride

All the robins check in on the kids from the ‘we are robin’ movement every now and again just to make sure they are okay

Adults are terrified of the bats however children love them

Every member of the batfamily has been called over by child screaming out their window only to spend the next hour helping said child with their homework

Batman makes sure he is approachable to children he wants them to feel safe enough around him to ask for his help no matter what

That has led to him: 1. Patching up stuff animals 2. Calming down imaginary friends 3. Giving opinions on important matters such as which color is the best 4. Helping with homework 5. Trying to be persuaded into convincing the parents not to make broccoli anymore. It’s his favorite part about putting on a mask

Teenagers tho a little more hesitant also approach him with a little more serious matters and more for advice. (How can I help my friend with depression? How can I help my anxiety? I think friend is doing drugs how can I help. I don’t think these are good people I’m hanging out with but now I’m too scared to stop)

However if teens catch any bat sitting on a rooftop close to their windows they ask more stupid type of questions

“Hey nightwing how do you ask out a girl?” “Red hood I’m trying to write this book so hypothetically how long does it take some one to bleed out?” “If I payed you would you take my physical for PE for me?” “How good do you think you would do on the pacer test?” “Can you tell my little sister to shut up, she’ll listen to you?” “How much do I have to pay you to scare my friend?”

Talks between people and the vigilantes from rooftop to window happen a lot and it is always the highlight of the patrol. They like that the people of Gotham trust them.

Jason was brought back via whatever that superboy reset was (I’m still a little fuzzy, sue me) clawed his way out of his grave and then found by Talia. He was then but in the pit for his head injuries. Making it easier for the shadows to manipulate and brainwash him into hating Bruce. However that’s the only thing they manipulated him into. Jason didn’t go ‘insane by the pit’ and his thoughts and stances on killing are his own. And the way Bruce handles Jason being back is what made Jason continue hating Bruce even aged the brainwashing ‘wore off’

The day his dad died was what Jason considered the best day of his life

Dick is extremely intelligent and was considered a child prodigy (this isn’t a headcanon this is actually canon some of y’all just forget and need to be reminded)

Dick loves math (also canon)

Jason can sing. Like really really well.

Theater Nerd™️ Jason Todd

Jason is scared of thunderstorms

Damian is afraid of heights

Lady shiva absolutely adores Tim

They have all been arrested a few times each for varying reasons when they were teenagers

If Alfred or Bruce yell one thier full names the other kids will cover for them but ONLY if they use the full name other wise it’s every man for himself

I know this one isn’t batfam but I think kon playes the electric guitar and has a really unique punk-ish vibe type singing voice (think hobo Johnson)

Dick has naturally curly hair
