ok i wanna yap abt WL ep 4 specifically abt scarian so im gonna
i know scar never plays into the "angry revenge skeeker" type character in the life series and even when he has targets he always keep his character light hearted and straight forward, which i appreciate! but it's so silly that after grian blows up his rep board and says to his face that they're enemies and he will kill him and Jimmy when he gets the chance all he has to respond with is pretty much "nah u love me too much to rly hate me :J"
like this feels so much like some silly couple banter over actual scarian angst BECAUSE scar remembers everything since he won SL it's less off "Oh scar really just thinks grian couldn't hate him so much" it's "we've been through this before we've danced this dance i know grian more than I know myself" and I LOVE IT
grian claims their enemies and while yes I fully believe grian will forever hold that grudge against Jimmy at the very least I don't think he truly means that he'll ever target scar unless fully prompted to
and! if he did end up targeting scar! I really feel like Scar would brush it off like he has been and just smile his silly smirk
plus how many times already this season has it seemed like the bamboozlers and sub oners were gonna become enemies?? and technically haven't? they live right on top/underneath one another itd be pretty tricky staying enemies with someone who lives in your basement
then again if I'm being honest it doesn't really seem like anyone's made true enemies (yet) so who knows maybe next week's episode will make me eat my words
anyways tldr I'm still crazy about scarian i never left that desert

Random Headcannons: Yujiā°
į¦ Warnings!! - Sukuna is a whole tw, some of them are a little suggestive but in a goofy way (?), me just yapping tbh, explicit language, mentions of Drakeš, marijuana useš, ADHD mentions, heās kinda brainrotted okay?
į¦ A/n!! - Some may be ooc to yall but this is how I see him in my head tbhš Iām just going off of vibes. Lmk who you want next! Requests for any fandom on my navi are always welcome!! Iām also working on a longer fic rn, so to that anon who sent a Sukuna request (yk who you are), itās coming soonš«µš»š
Masterlist | navi
Was so invested in the Kendrick Lamar vs. Drake situation Imao. He knew everything that happened from when it started to when it unofficially ended.
Yaps about it to anyone who will listen, and letās be honest, everyone will because he's such a charming guy
Might just be me, but I feel strongly that Yuji had an emo phase in his middle schools years. I'm talking My Chemical Romance kinda emo, yk, the freaky ones
Not speaking out of experience or anything hahaš¶āš«ļø
Does actually love J law, and will watch compilations on YouTube at 3 am. What can he say? He's a loyal man.
He watches CaseOh 100% and does have notifs for him on
Chronic iPad kid, it's bad
And to make things worse he can't eat without watching anything (like most of us let's be fr)
He uses the excuse that "kings have always had entertainment while they feast back in the day, what's the difference?ā
Sukuna literally couldn't be more ashamed to be in this gen z brainrot teenager's body.
DOES NOT play around when it comes to a Roblox tycoon. Don't cross ma boy in his tycoons.
Actually talks to Sukuna telepathically(?) sometimes. Like when he's bored he'll just-
"Sukuna, do you actually have two dicks?"
"Shut the fuck up."
Most likely listens to Tame Impala, Cuco, Suicideboy$, maybe even a little Pierce the veil time to time. Also loves K-pop and girl groups like BTS, New Jeans, and ENHYPHEN.
His biases are Jungkook, Hanni, & Jake :3
Considered using his hand mouth thing to jerk off one time, but was swiftly turned away from the idea when Sukuna heard him think of it and told him he'd kill him instantly : (
Smokes š every once in a while when he has a weekend free
Heās a talker when heās high fs
Will go off about conspiracy theories, and this sounds cliche, but istg he would do this shi
Heās a genuine conspiracy theorist when heās sober too tbh
But Indica gets him talkingš¤
I kinda wrote abt this in one of my requests, but I think that Yuji is a huge fan of getting scared and just having that thrill
Haunted houses, scary movies, music, stories, he loves all of it.
I mean, Gojo made him watch like one million bajillion (real) movies, so ofc heās grown a fondness for anything over the top disturbing/cheesy
Heās one of those people whoās annoyingly good at everything he tries on the FIRST try.
He doesnāt mean to, but he will one up anyone heās in the room withš
Yuji DOES NOT fuck with Xbox, heās a PlayStation girlieāØ
He has a thing for chubby girls š¶āš«ļø just dropping this here bc I may or may not have smth in the worksā¦
Heād be able to make friends with a roach in the corner of the room, heās such a caring, compassionate guy, but we already knew this.
Gives ADHD realness
Has definitely called Gojo ādadā by accident a few times before.
Strikes me as the type to flirt and not even realizeā¦
F2L &/or grumpy x sunshine vibes all the way!!!

this is such an out there question but do you have a favorite mouthwashing character? and why?
Oughhhh,,,Anya. I love Anya,, Her story and everything abt her got me on my knees crying. The fact that in the beginning sheās viewed as unreliable cause we r seeing it through Jimboās pov grrr grrrrr and the cutscene with her and Curly and she mentions the dead pixel on the screen.. And then far later on we find out why she behaves that way around Jimmy is so GRAAAA. Anya im so sorry,, im so sorry that the person who you trusted didnāt stop him </3
Second favorite is Daisuke, characters that are in āwrong place at the wrong timeā are my bread and butter. The fact that he just wanted to help but was so unsure of Jimmyās commands led him to being severely injured and killed. He just wanted to help š
Swansea is my third! I though he was going to be the antagonist at the beginning. He started to crack and was the first person to be outright mean to Jim. Also his final speech he has with Jimmy is,,,that speech probably rewired my brain in someway
And finally Curly! I think him prioritizing his friendship with Jimmy was his downfall, but I also donāt think he deserves to be put through all that torment Jimmy put him through. And the fact that he was the only one remaining aliveā¦like god. ALSO just,,the cutscenes where Jimmy forces Curly to take his pill. And when Jimmy forces Curly to eat a chunk of his leg.
#curly was in the wrong but I also think he didnāt deserve to be put through that#ask txt#ask to tag

i saw in the tags of ur new fic that hua cheng has BPD in ur hcsā¦. if ur willing to talk abt it id love to hear abt it š
Hi!!! Ofc Iād love to talk about it.
So Hua Cheng is one of the characters that I hold super dear to my heart, in that fic he wasnāt quite old enough for the actual symptoms to start showing in ways that would be super obvious hence the whole āitās not really shown/explored hereā that I mentioned. But! Letās get into it!
There are 3 suspected subtypes for BPD, not really āofficiallyā used in the dsm5 but! Hua Cheng fits Really Well for quiet BPD, which is often where the symptoms are more internalized rather than outward. As a child and teen when he was the little boy and little soldier the BPD symptoms are more outward, as is extremely common for people with quiet BPD that they do not start with this presentation of symptoms.
Since I love researching especially for my headcannons this will have me pulling from the DSM and using that lol. Sorry if this isnāt quite what you wanted! Feel free to send another ask in that case! I love answering questions haha.
SPOILERS AHEAD FOR THE NOVELS
The diagnostic criteria means you need 5 of the main 9 symptoms of BPD to be diagnosed with it. A lot of these behaviors start around 13, HOWEVER it is very difficult to diagnose in children and teens due to regular hormonal changes and a developing mind can often mimic the same instability that comes along with BPD. Please do not use this as something to diagnose yourself.
Hua Cheng, as he is, meets a few of the symptoms. Iāll go symptom by symptom to explain them a bit more
1. Frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment (not including sh or sui behaviors as it is covered in a different criteria).
Throughout TGCF Hua Cheng often spends a lot of him time attempting to be useful or good enough for Xie Lian, He gets very anxious and fearful around areas that might make Xie Lian leave him or be disgusted by him.
As Hongāer, he often changes entire things about himself with just a small off-hand comment from Xie Lian. He picked up the saber and focused on it because Xie Lian told him that he would suit it well. He panicked every single time someone tried to remove the bandages covering his red eye because he knew that it was something a lot of people hated or treated him badly for and was disgusted by, and he didnāt want Xie Lian to see it. When Xie Lian found out about the fact that he was born under the star of solitude and that meant he was cursed he had a breakdown about it, only calming down when Xie Lian assured him that he was believed that he wasnāt cursed. He showed anger at anyone else where for Xie Lian he would do anything (except talk haha)
I canāt say much about Wu Ming or him as a ghost fire; mostly due to not having gotten to his chapters yet. But my brain wants to use the part with the 33 heavenly officials and his anger at Feng Xin and Mu Qing as proof as well. Along with his devotion to Xie Lian.
As Hua Cheng, he often looks to Xie Lian when heās not sure what he will think of things, often changing his likes and dislikes when it comes to him. He changed his form to be one that Xie Lian might have liked more, being extremely insecure about his true form while trying to play it off that he was ugly, which obviously Xie Lian didnāt agree with. And once he saw that Xie Lian wasnāt as disgusted by his actual form he uses it more often along with (At least in the manghua) he incorporates some parts of it in his San Lang form.
All in all, usually he sees things that could displease Xie Lian as being bad, and I believe this comes from a place of fearing abandonment by Xie Lian.
2. A pattern of unstable and intense interpersonal relationships characterized by alternating between extremes of idealization and devaluation
This symptom is a hallmark of the disorder, and most of the other symptoms are what leads to this symptom to showing up. For Hua Cheng, his relationship with Xie Lian is pretty constant and in this context he would be his Favorite Person (FP) (will be discussed later) but his relationship with others are far more unstable. He goes between not caring for those he barely knows to being extremely angry and vindictive if they even so much seem as if they are insulting or disrespecting XL. He also seems to not have very steady relations with those he is simi closer to than strangers (such as yin yu and black water, the only two that, outside of XL, he has around him decently often enough, which honestly probably shows more so that he is attached to Xie Lian like a person with Bpd is to their FP). His opinion of those people seems to be very dependent on how theyāre effecting his current situations as they happen, at least from what Iāve seen myself. He also holds very little regard for people outside of Xie Lian, which honestly might point to something like ASPD or something but in my opinion HC fits BPD more so than the other one but I could see the argument for it.
His unstable relationship mostly goes in relation of himself and his self image, which are very dependent on Xie Lian.
3. Identity disturbance: marked and persistently unstable self-image or sense of self.
For this criteria, this mostly means changes in personality, likes, dislikes, goals, and role. Often the only sense of self people with BPD have is that they are bad or evil, which we see a lot in Hua Cheng, his view of himself is very negative. He often does not feel as if he deserves to be treated nicely by Xie Lian.
4. Impulsivity in at least two areas that are potentionally self-damaging (e.g. spending, sex, substance abuse, reckless driving, binge eating. Not including sh or sui behaviors.
Idk why for this one specifically but in my heart I feel like he is very impulsive even outside life or death situations. I cannot for the life of me recall why right now
One of them is him betting his ashes in the fight with the 33 gods, while that could be seen as him being confident in his ability to win it is still very dangerous. Iām unsure if this would count as impulsive or just sui behavior lmao.
5. Recurrent suicidal behavior, gestures, or threats, or self-mutilating behavior.
As Hongāer, He was going up the wall to die. Not only that but when he was in the army he often put his life on the line specifically trying to protect Xie Lian, to the point that Feng Xin mentioned offhand that it seemed like he had a death wish and that he had no concern for his own life. All of Hua Chengās deaths actively involve dying for Xie Lian, as he decided to live for the man as well.
6. Affective instability due to a marked reactivity of mood (e.g. intense episodic dysphoria, irritability, or anxiety usually lasting a few hours and only rarely more than a few days).
Hua Chengās mood often shifts very quickly from extremes, there seems to be very little grey area for his moods. Often times, he is happy and content only for a small thing to bring his ire and anger, especially when it comes to his time with Xie Lian. This is often set inwards, anger at himself for not being able to protect him. But this also is directed at others as well as seen by his reactions when Feng Xin and Mu Qing show up.
7.Chronic feelings of emptiness.
In my headcannons this is very true. He is often bored, he often acts very bored in the donghua when something doesnāt have to do with Xie Lian.
8. Inappropriate, intense anger or difficulty controlling anger.
I donāt know about you, but I think a lot of Hua Chengās emotions include anger. He hits He Xuan because of a situation that endangers Xie Lian. He is known for getting into fights over small things. He killed 33 gods for simply disrespecting Xie Lian. He often has outbursts in anger at Mu Qing and Feng Xin, using a lot of sarcasm. These outbursts often happen when Xie Lian isnāt giving him attention or when they are disrespecting/looking down at Xie Lian in some way, shape, or form.
9. Transient, stress-related paranoid idealtion or severe dissociative symptoms
This symptoms often comes up when in response to something that may be relating to possible abandonment. Hua Cheng tends to get more quiet and withdrawn when situations have to do with himself or when something comes up that Xie Lian might hate him over. The topic of EāMing makes him start to try and move the topic off of itās emotional responses, when he hurt Xie Lian he gets quiet and stares where Xie Lian left for a long while, getting quiet when Xie Lian apologizes for the situation before nearly crying over it and apologizing over it.
Now, a lot of the reasons behind why I say a character has a mental illness usually does not come from what criteria they meet, but I felt that explaining what could possibly meet what criteria is a fun way to get the conversation started. A lot of BPD is the mental process that gets the reactions, or what causes the reactions. Iām going to get into the like, less official practical and professional view of BPD and go more into it as someone who shows a lot of BPD esc symptoms and the research Iāve done from other people with the disorder.
In BPD, there is a thing called a Favorite Person, also shorthanded to FP. I mentioned earlier that Xie Lian would be his FP, and I stand by this. Often to a person with BPD their FP is everything to them. Their emotional wellbeing and sense of self is often based on the person. It is often very intense and their FP is often what is the root cause of their symptoms showing up. Often FPs are caregivers, friends, crushes, and other things. It can be a very unhealthy relationship for both parties due to the fact that a person with BPD rely heavily on their FP for regulation.
This is something we often see with Hua Cheng and Xie Lian. Hua Cheng relies on Xie Lian for reassurance, taking every grain of it. He does everything in his power to appeal to Xie Lian but also doesnāt mind if Xie Lian doesnāt know about him or hates him as long as he can be useful to him. He also does all he can to get Xie Lianās attention and praise. He bases a lot of himself and his environment around Xie Lian. I think that the opinion that some of the fandom has of him that āeverything revolves around Xie Lian for his characterā is a very good example of this. I do not agree with this sentiment, obviously, but it is very common for people with BPD to base almost everything around this FP.
Hua Cheng also wants to spend all of his time around Xie Lian, which is often seen with people with Bpd and their fps.
A lot of this headcannon also has a lot to do with seeing myself in Hua Cheng, seeing behaviors Iāve done for past FPs and even my current FP. I see my relationship with my current FP (which is my boyfriend before anyone asks) in Xie Lian and Hua Cheng. I am a lot more unstable in my relationship with my FP than Hua Cheng is to Xie Lian, but I also feel like Hua Cheng often would turn his anger inward a lot more than I do and fall heavily into self blame for any issues. Along with that, I feel as if Hua Cheng is also pretty inclined to feel as if he overstepped and to internally berate himself for thinking he could have or do or feel whatever unstable emotions and feelings and devaluation towards Xie Lian.
Anyways hereās a small, very tired and sleepy explanation. Iām sorry if none of this makes sense. I just woke up to write this and Iām probably heading to bed.
#This made me realize that I donāt have access to the DSM-5 anymore lmao#hua cheng#hualian#mxtx#tgcf#mxtx tgcf#tgcf spoilers#tgcf hua cheng#hong er#tian guan ci fu#heaven official's blessing#crimson rain sought flower#hua Cheng having Bpd

Shiratorizawa being overlooked so often makes me so damn mad like Iām in 5 Haikyu servers and whenever they do popularity polls Shiratorizawa literally loses first round ALL THE DAMN TIME
Like they worked so hard to get where they are, Top 8 consistently, and being fr if they had a diff coach who let them embrace their individual play styles, let them work as a damn team i genuinely think they could beat some other of the top teams.
No Iām not just glazing my favorite team. Iām being COMPLETELY honest.
Tendou, if Washijo just let him teach some other players to embrace that shit, or if they had an actual system instead of
āTaichi the omnivore and Tendou the Guess monsterā
Like thats really effective and all, but what if they further enhanced it?
Donāt even get me started on the setters.
Shirabu is a very good player, but being fr heās lowkey a hole in their defense. Unlike Hayato, he doesnāt have some extreme receiving skills to get him some ground over being short. Constantly throughout the Karasuno match, theyāre scoring over his head.
Now I love Shirabu, I really do. But I love semi more (obviously).
Washijo is wasting SO MUCH TALENT with his damn ācannonā philosophy. Like bro, think abt it. If all of shiratorizawa used their talents to the fullest, wouldnāt it actually make them stronger?
I get sometimes that too much talent will overlap and sabotage each other, but focusing so many individual talents into one simple strength is kind of crazy. Like you literally invite some of the top players in your prefecture, then donāt even use them?
some people wonāt understand how damn mad I was when Karasuno won. Like yay to Karasuno, I loved season 3, literally my favourite season ever, we got so much Noya screen time, BUT SERIOUSLY.
THAT MUCH PLOT ARMOR IS INSANE.
I get the writing and all, showing growth, but being fr.
THEYRE ONE OF THE TOP 8 INNTHE WHOLE COUNTRY.
WASHIJO WHEN I CATCH YOU YOU OLD MAN.
Itās giving Ego from blue lock, except at least Ego had a point. At least bro was being logical with his arbitrary decisions.
āToo many cooks spoil the brothā TYPE SHIT BRUH
BUT SHIRATORIZAWA IS LITERALLY SO DAMN ADAPTABLE. ISTG.
IM RAGING
all of them are so different from one another, and despite being the most incomplete team in miyagi, they STILL manage to work together, and have no real hard feelings.
They all worked so hard to get where they were, but then SUDDENLYBTHE PLOT ARMOUR COMES AND JUST DELETES THAT.
These guys literally do 100 serves just cause some old fossil said so. THATS INSANE.
Imagine having to endure so much extreme training, that honestly is so questionable, and still end up losing. You start to lose what the volleyball means to you just cause of some damn short ass man who couldnāt get over his old coach telling him he was a short fuck.
ID CRY TOO.
IF ANYONE CALLS SHIRATORIZAWA WIMPS FOR CRYING AFTER LOSING, ID LIKE TO SEE YOU TRY AND DO WHAT THEY DID.
THEY PUT BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS INTO THIS, AND STILL ENDED UP LOSING TO SOME RAGTAG TEAM THAT JUST STARYED GAINING MOMENTUM.
All they wanted was to take Goshiki to nationals fam.
One last time.
All of them were so well written Iām actually tweaking out that they donāt have a bigger fan base.
Oh I understand I mischaracterize some of them, like listen fam I have barely anything to work with SHUT UP.
But honestly writing them is such an adventure, and Iām literally going on multiple angry rants for them.
Please, somebody, hear me yell out into the void, and respond to what I wish.
Shiratorizawa respect.
#haikyuu#semi eita#shiratorizawa#taichi kawanishi#tendou satori#shirabu kenjirou#ushijima wakatoshi#hayato yamagata#reon ohira#goshiki tsutomu#not specified but if you like shiratorizawa ur automatically hot#you should have come to shiratorizawa#i love shiratorizawa#Shiratorizawa needs some respect#Shiratorizawa underrated#fight me#I will die on this damn hill

For the ghostlights drabbles: āSay my nameā with a favor being called in?
Duke had saved Phantom years ago, back when he was just out of high school and working to take down a branch of the government that was kidnapping and experimenting on people, targeting magic users and metas. Phantom had been working on his own to take them down, and they met in the middle, trashing a lab and freeing as many people as they could.
They had managed to shoot his back, knocking him down and making him bleed a glowing green. Phantom couldnāt move, protecting two kids with his body, and Duke couldnāt reach them in time before they were taken away by another swarm of agents.Ā
He was able to go after them in time, free Phantom and the kids, and evacuated the victims before Phantom rained hell down on the facility.
At the end, standing in the background as they watched paramedics treat the victims and take them towards the nearest hospitals, Phantom had turned towards him and thanked him.
Or rather, he thanked the Signal and offered him a bracelet with a rounded orb of ice, glowing faintly in the dark. If you ever need me, he had said, Hold this, and call me name.
Phantom vanished once the last of the victims were transported to a safer location, and Duke hadnāt seen him since.
Heās kept up with news about Phantom as best he can, but from what he could tell, Phantom is based primarily in Amity Park, Illinois, and the town is fiercely protective of their hero. News rarely leaks out of there, and with them running on their own servers and independent internet, it was nearly impossible to get in from the outside.Ā
Phantom remained a curious and distant figure in Dukeās life. He holds onto the bracelet still, guarding it carefully and sometimes running his fingers over the ice that never melts.
But he doesnāt call in that favor. Heās never to.
At least, not until now.
Sucking in a breath, Duke prepares himself and holds the orb of ice in the palm of his hand. Heās in civies, unable to hide his identity for this, and closes his eyes. āPhantom,ā he says.
For a moment, nothing happens. Duke blinks his eyes open and frowns, mind already forming new plans to contact Phantom. Then the ice goes bitingly cold, almost painful, and the temperature in the room drops dramatically. The ice lifts up from his hand, floating in the air, then cracks open.
White-blue light spills out of it, growing brighter as it seems to swallow up the room entirely. Duke hurries to back up, an arm thrown up to protect his eyes. His breath mists out before him and he shivers as the sound of ice cracking fills the room.
And then, just as suddenly as it started, the light disappears and the cold fades away like a bad dream.Ā
Slowly, Duke lowers his arm and looks up at Phantom, floating in the middle of his living room with a crown made of ice, engulfed in blue fire, hovers above his head. He looks older, more regal, holding his head high.Ā
He regards Duke carefully for a minute, then tilts his head and says, āSignal?ā
āYeah, itās me. Man, Iām so glad you came.ā
āYouā¦ need help with something? Youāre calling in your favor now, right?ā
Duke nods. He understands Phantomās confusion; being in the hero business means that favors like these tend to be used only during the most hopeless of times, when the world is close to ending, when the chances of getting out of a situation alive is close to impossible. Itās exactly the kind of thing Duke was expecting to call Phantom in for.
Not the kid sleeping on his couch.
āYouāre a ghost, yeah?ā
Phantom blinks at him. āGhost king, now. Why?ā
āWellā¦ā Duke rubs the back of his neck, nervously. āI didnāt really know who else to call, and I canāt do this on my own since Iām not a ghost. But this kid got attached to me and wonāt leave, so now Iām taking care of her and I have no idea what Iām doing.ā
āI donāt know why you think I have any experience with kids butāā
āSheās a ghost.ā
Phantom stops short. āAh. I see.ā He floats down until his feet touch the floor, and then heās standing like any other person. āWhereā¦?ā
Duke looks past Phantomās shoulder, and Phantom turns to follow his gaze. Chelsea, the ghost girl, looks to be around nine years old and is fast asleep on the couch, curled up under Dukeās softest blanket.
āSignal,ā Phantom says quietly, āWhat, exactly, is the favor you need from me?ā
āYou can say no,ā Duke starts. āI get that this is a lot. But I need help raising her. And since youāre a ghost, I figured you could help me learn about the ghostly side of things. You donāt have to raise her with me or anything! Justā¦ I would appreciate any help youāre willing to give me.ā
Phantom doesnāt say no. He doesnāt say anything. He just stares down at Chelsea, an unreadable expression on his face.Ā
On the couch. Chelsea shifts in her sleep, brows furrowing as she makes a choked noise in the back of her throat.
Moving on autopilot after so many nights of this routine, Duke kneels next to the couch, fishing one of her hands from beneath the blanket. He gives it a few reassuring squeezes, keeping it a slow rhythm to pull her gently from her nightmare. She settles down in just a minute, brow smoothing out as she continues to sleep.Ā
The silence grows and Duke is all too aware that his heart is the only one beating.Ā
He doesnāt hear Phantom move. Doesnāt realize heās right next to him until he sees Phantomās hand reach out towards Chelsea. When Duke looks, Phantom is sitting on the floor next to Duke, looking at Chelsea with something soft and devastated in his eyes. His hand hovers about her head for a long moment, then slowly lowers to rest on her head.Ā
The touch looks gently, barely putting any pressure on her head, but itās enough to make Chelseaās eyes snap open, suddenly wide awake. She stares at Phantom with wide eyes, then sits up and looks between him and Duke.
āWho are you?ā she asks in a small voice that makes Duke want to stand against the world to keep her safe.Ā
Phantom smiles. Itās casual and charming and makes him look like anyone else, as if heās not a powerful king from a realm unreachable to humans. āHi there,ā he says, āIām Danny. Iām a ghost like you. Signal called me and asked me to meet you.ā
The Ghost King is good with kids. Who would have thought?
Chelsea looks at him for confirmation and only relaxes when he nods. āIām Chelsea. What do you mean ghost? Iām not dead.ā
Both he and Phantom tense, carefully keeping their expressions neutral. She hasnāt told him much at all, just that her parents were gone and forgot her and she got hurt, so she wanted to stay with āMr. Signalā because heās a hero and heroes keep people safe and he was the only one who was Black like her. Duke hadnāt had the heart to say no, and began searching for her family, only to find that her parents had fled the state, and likely the country, after killing their only child through neglect and a dangerous environment.Ā
It was then that he realized that her powers were not because she was a meta, but because she was ghost.
It still hurts to realize how young she is, how much of her life had been stolen from her in an instant. Duke hadnāt been brave enough to broach the topic with her, instead choosing to let her grow comfortable in his presence, get them both settled into a routine now that he was her primary guardian.Ā
āI know it sounds scary,ā Phantom says, āAnd you may not want to believe me, but itās true. Iām sorry that you died so young, but that just means you get to hang out with me and other ghosts from now on!ā
Chelsea crosses her arms over her chest and glares at him. āI am not dead,ā she says.
āCici, Iām sorry to say this, but you are,ā Duke cuts in. āThatās why I calledā¦ Danny. You have new powers as a ghost, and he can help you get used to them.ā
āIām not dead!ā she says again.
āKid,ā Phantom begins, but Chelsea shakes her head hard and hops off the couch.
āIām not lying! Watch, Iāll prove it to you!ā She closes her eyes and scrunches up her nose, concentrating. Her hands curl into tight fists by her sides, and the glow around her grows dim. Two faint, stuttering rings of light appear around her waist. They flicker and wobble in the air, as if weak and uncertain of their own existence, then split apart, one moving up towards her head while the other falls to her feet.
Beside him, Phantom sucks in a sharp breath, but Duke canāt turn to see whatās wrong when heās trying to take in the sight of Chelsea suddenly full of vibrant color, looking more solid that heās ever seen her, very much alive.
āSee?ā she says proudly, lifting her arms and doing a spin to show off her right she was. āI told you Iām not dead!ā
āNo, youāre not,ā Phantom agrees, sounding shell-shocked. When Duke is finally able to look away from Chelsea to check on him, he looks awed. Thereās the smallest smile on his face, just the slightest upturn of his lips, but it makes him look softer.
Duke turns his attention back to Chelsea before he can be caught staring. āCici, can you come here for a second?ā
She goes before heās finished speaking, crossing the space between them in a single jump, then grins up at him. Her hair is a bit of a mess, the two buns he managed to get her hair into falling askew. He makes a note to visit the old aunties in the Narrows later to ask them to teach him how to do hair. For now, he holds out a hand and Chelsea drops an arm into it.
It seems to good to be true, having her be alive, but her pulse is steady and strong when he presses his thumb against the inside of her wrist.Ā
āWell,ā he says, leaning back and letting go of her arm. āYou certainly proved us wrong.ā
Chelsea doesnāt have much time to look smug before PHantom quietly says, āYouāre like me.ā
āWhat?ā
āYouāre like me,ā he tells Chelsea. āA halfa.ā
She tilts her head to one side. āWhatās that?ā
āSomeone who is half human and half ghost. Both dead and alive.ā
Duke blinks, taking in the words, then turns to face Phantom so quickly heās worried he might give himself whiplash. Halfa, he said. Like me, he said.Ā
And sure enough, two rings of light, bright and strong, appear around Phantomās waist before splitting in half, moving over his entire body.Ā
Gone is the Ghost King, all powerful and adorned in dark clothing with a crown of ice above his head. In his place is a guy who looks to be Dukeās age, eyes a deep blue and his black hair messy, feet set solidly on the floor. He looks completely normal, completely human, and no longer an impossibility.
āYou still up for learning how to use all your new powers?ā Phantom asks.
Chelsea grins. āYeah!ā And then, with a quick flick of her eyes going from Phantom to Duke that he almost misses, very innocently asks, āAre you going to stay with us then?ā
āIā¦ donāt know?ā Phantom looks to Duke for an answer.
Already, Duke can see this going two ways. The correct way forward, the normal one, has Phantom popping in every so often, taking Chelsea out for a few hours to work on training her and her powers. Itās easy and routine and they can keep their boundaries uncrossed and be professional.Ā
The other path is what Duke wants most that he shouldnāt impose onto the literal Ghost King. He could have Phantom living with them while heās on Earth and out of Amity Park, having a place at the table, a section in the closet for his own clothes, a quietly domestic night together while Chelsea sleeps where they can get to know each other more, get to know each other outside of news reports and texts on a screen.
āYou can stay with us if you want,ā Duke offers, casually, āIt might keep my apartment safe from her powers acting up on their own again.ā
āAre you sure? I could always just fly in on the weekends or something.ā
āIād appreciate having you around. So you can help Cici.ā
āIf you donāt mind,ā Phantom says, looking away. Like this, fully alive with a beating heart, itās easy to see the blush steal away across his cheeks.Ā
āI donāt.ā
āI donāt either!ā Chelsea pops in, looking far too gleeful by their awkward conversation.
Duke canāt help but laugh, feeling lighter than he had in ages. The relief of knowing that Chelsea is alive, for the most part at least, eases the guilt of thinking he had been too late to save her, that there was no chance she could have made it out and had a future, makes him feel weak. All the exhaustion of the past few weeks hits him all at once and he wants nothing more than to collapse in bed and sleep for twelve hours.
āAlright, squirt,ā he says, reaching out to pat her head. āItās late. We can talk more in the morning, so go to bed. In your actual bed this time, not on the couch.ā
Chelsea stands up taller, ready to argue, but Duke gives her a Lookā¢ and she quickly shuts her mouth, nods, and drags her feet back to her room (the former guestroom he can never give any of the other Waynes ever again, once they find out about her).Ā
Sighing, Duke collapses onto the couch once he hears the door shut behind her. Phantom joins him after a few seconds, sitting tentatively on the edge of the couch. The cushion moves beneath his weight, another reminder of how solid and alive he is right not.
Duke wants to touch him, to reach out and feel for himself his pulse, the warmth of his body, his chest lifting with each breath.Ā
He doesnāt move. He stays where he is, hands carefully still, and tries to think past the dizzying thoughts of sheās still alive, Iām not too late, heās still here, heās alive.
āRough week?ā Phantom asks, voice purposefully light.
āSomething like that.ā
āYou should get some sleep too.ā
āI donāt think I can. Not after everything. My mindās too loud right now.ā
Phantom shifts closer to him, hesitant in a way that Duke has never seen before in him, and asks, āWant me to stay with you until you mind quiets down some?ā
āYeah. Iād like that. Thanks, Phantom.ā
āYou know, if Iām going to be around so often as Chelseaās halfa mentor, then you might as well call me Danny.ā
Truth be told, Duke didnāt think that was his real name. Heās glad to know itās not.Ā
āThen call me Duke.ā
ā...Are you sure? You could still hide your identity from me.ā
āNah, I trust you. A name for a name, yeah?ā
Danny smiles. āDuke,ā he says, testing out the name, and itās never sounded better than when it falls from Dannyās mouth.
āDanny,ā Duke returns. He belatedly realizes that theyāve leaned towards each other, drawn together like gravity, stuck in each otherās orbit. It feels natural. It feels like this is where theyāre meant to be.
Maybe he should be more cautious. Theyāve only meant once before, after all. But heās read all he could on Phantom and has seen how Amity Park loves him. Heās stressed and exhausted and trying to figure out how to look after a half-ghost child thatās already been dealt a bad hand in life. He should be keeping Phantom at a distance, watching over him carefully to ensure he isnāt a threat to Chelsea.
But Duke saw how he acted with Chelsea, so gentle and understanding and kind. Thatās all he needed to see.
He may not know much about Danny, but he knows this: he is trustworthy.
Enough to entrust his identity to him.
Enough to entrust Chelsea to him.
Itās more than a favor; itās a promise to walk this road together.Ā
Thereās no one heād rather do this with.Ā
āThanks,ā he says again, āFor all of this. I know itās a lot.ā
Danny shrugs. āI donāt mind. Really. Itās nice to know thereās another halfa out there, no matter how she came to be one. Makes things feel less lonely.ā
āWill you tell me more about halfas?ā
āLater. Once you get some proper rest. Weāve got time, havenāt we?ā
āWe do,ā Duke agrees, affection settling warm in his chest. āWeāve got plenty of time.ā
Learning how to control her new powers wonāt be easy for Chelsea. Learning how to take care of her wonāt be easy. Learning how to do things together, as Duke and Danny rather than the Signal and Phantom, wonāt be easy. But Duke knows with a certainty he feels in his bones that theyāre going to be fine.
So long as theyāve got each other, theyāll be fine.

I asked myself why I failed to notice. It was the first time we'd been apart that long. I found the birthday gifts you prepared for me in my room, from my 18th to my 21st. ...Shut up. I started to think about what you were doing back then. Were you celebrating my birthday all by yourself?
KISEKI: DEAR TO ME Ep. 12
#kiseki: dear to me#kisekiedit#kdtm#kiseki dear to me#chen yi x ai di#ai di x chen yi#nat chen#chen bowen#louis chiang#chiang tien#jiang dian#userspring#userrain#uservid#userspicy#userjjessi#pdribs#*cajedit#*gif#do you ever cry about the chen yi that woke up to find ai di gone.#do you ever think about the chen yi that felt ai di's tears on his face and reached up to hold him closer. to comfort him.#who saw & chose in a moment the true ai di that had always been by his side then lost him in the next. & woke up to learn it was his fault#cuz i think about the chen yi during ai di's prison time a lot. i think about him going over so many of his memories#reevaluating ai di's anger and teasing and realizing it was all heartbreak. THAT IT WAS ALL HEARTBREAK.#the guilt...the desperation & need to get through to ai di so he never makes him feel that way again. understanding that he loves ai di too#the way he gently touches ai di's hands and face here... he tied him up to keep him from running but hes being so earnest and SO careful#with ai di's pain & ai di's love. his expressions & the way he takes deep breaths before admitting things out loud like its clear#hes thinking hard abt what he wants to say and how he wants to say it. bc he has to make ai di understand how much he means this#how much he misses him. how much he wants to make this right. how he wants & needs to be by ai di's side forever bc he loves him!#he loves him!!!!!!!!! GOD. i love chen yi.

i feel like suguru might not actually be a morning person on his own, but he is a morning person for you. like he wants to get up early and he wants to cook you breakfast. he wants to watch you wake up and he wants to see that darling sleepy smile of yours, so he forgets all about his morning grumpiness. you are way more important than that.
#i talk soooomuch abt mornings with him#and i love mornings with him#but this just .#popped into my head#that he might be doing all of that just for you#well in a way he very obviously is doing all of that for you (he always is)#but a part of me was convinced that he'd be a big morning person but i don't think so anymore#i feel like if he's alone#and not with anybody#it takes him a long time to get up#he's groggy in bed#squinting at the rays of sun that peek inside from behind his curtain#he's just.. kind of grumpy and idk his mornings alone are very slow#you give meaning to them#anyway wahh idk i feel like this just might be in my head though lmao#i kinda wanna make a post abt my other blorbos too#like whether i think they're a morning or a night person#i think it's cute#mickey is daydreaming#sugu

i love the idea that Wild is a big brother to basically all of the kids in his Hyrule. itās such a good heacanon that i never see utilized.
#with their dads permission heāll take Cottla and Koko on horse rides and they always have food ready for his horses when he comes into town#cottla wants to learn archery to be like him and he melts when he finds that out#all the kids in Hateno have been caught giving treats to his horses#this is a popular headcanon i think but him teaching the local kiddos how to sword fight so often times heāll be found directing a horde of#children whoāre all swinging treebaches around. he couldnāt look prouder of them.#imagine when he gets older and all the village kids r teens/young adults and all of a sudden the village has skilled hunters and foragers#and everyoneās like āwow whatās hateno doingā and the answer is they all had a great big brother#by older i mean heād be like. early thirties. but yāknow ahsnfjks#wildās impact should rest in the ppl i think. botw is all abt humanityās strive to overcome hardship and find beauty in the misery#(well. it is to me anyhow lmao)#so i love the idea of his influence not resting in politics or myths or whatever#but within the culture and spirit of those he fought for#in my brain he definitely wanted to rescue Zelda at first and thatās the only reason he was going to fight ganon#but as his journey progressed he wanted to protect and cultivate the future more than rescue the past#i like this idea w zelda too. like not only will the future generation have great fighters but excellent scholars and leaders.#wow i am RAMBLING#anyhow. i like big bro wild.#linked universe#lu#jojoās linked universe#linkeduniverse#lu wild#wild lu#wild linked universe#linked universe wild

VERY rough concept for a 3d modeled statue of Herbert West, just watched re-animator and it did something to me. Ive wanted to make and sell fan statues for awhile and this really lit a fire under my ass, but before i spend the next Several Weeks working on this it would help my motivation a lot if i got a vibe there are people in the world who would pay money for this lol.
I'm not sure how much it will be, since I'll likely be going through a POD provider since posting stl files online freaks me out, so final price will come up to how much production costs, but the ideal price rang is 20-40$ USD, with as minimal up-charge as i can allow myself. fans w disposable income tell me any and all thoughts <3
#reanimator#re animator#herbert west#reanimator 1985#reanimator fanart#reanimator herbert west#bride of reanimator#i specifically remember seeing a joke abt how reanimator fans r starved for content and i felt within my heart that i could help HSJKDHK#i dont really have the means or time or. executive functions to run a real business where i can paint these myself so just to really clarif#this would be a bit of a diy situation on the colors front#i would love to include like a paint guide tho i think that would be fun#this will come up to production price but ideally he will be 8-9 inches tall or taller. 1/10 scale Ish but jeffrey combs is so short it wou#ld be fudged to be a bit larger. technically 8 inches would be 1/8 but herbert is so small. it doesnt feel like 1/8#i might have to make the base a liittllee smaller for the sake of economy of space but id like to include all the details#economy of Your Space on whatever shelf you display him on#blood#tw blood#gore#tw gore#animal death#tw animal death#i might transfer that guys head into a brain if ppl arent rocking w the action figure of mr s crime.

something Iāve been thinking abt is how many people think Makoto is immune to despair. I donāt think he is. I think becoming the ultimate Hope was BECAUSE he felt despair. He wouldnāt have fully reached that point without Junko. Makoto becoming such a beacon was his last attempt to avoid completely falling and it wasnāt because he didnāt feel despair, it was because he was too damn stubborn to allow everything to go to waste and he refused to sacrifice his beliefs for someone elseās. His inner monologue tells me he DID experience the same new low the other suvivors did in the final trial, but at the point where he had the choice to give up and die, he looked at the others and he looked at Junko and he couldnāt allow it to happen, not out of self preservation, but because the idea that Junko would have control over their lives made him FURIOUS. and that utter refusal to die kicked in, wether luck or otherwise, and he made the concious effort for one last push while something in him was breaking. He had to be broken in order for the Ultimate Hope to come through so aggressively, bc it could only exist in the face of the Ultimate Despair. He snapped the same way she did, but in the other direction. In what could have been his final moments he chose to embody everything Junko wasnāt, and every single optimistic and luck fueled ideal in him suddenly charged forward and pushed him. It was a combination of the final straw and a choice. Makoto isnāt immune to feeling despair, heās just too stubborn to fall into it of his own volition. I think thatās why I like that scene in DR3 so much. People were SO SHOCKED Makoto actually fell for the tape, that he actually became despair for a moment. I saw people getting mad or disappointed, saying it was pathetic and Makoto seemed to fall from some sort of pedestal for them. Honestly part of me wonders if that sort of mentality, which clearly people had in universe, affected Makoto a bit. Like he started to see himself as less of a person, subconsciously. Prompting him to take more risks, less self preservation, act way more bold. It seems he has to be reminded a lot not to put himself in danger by his friends, to not do something too reckless. All over the place I would see in regards to that scene either this frivolous āoh this was just angst drama with no meaning behind itā or āhe can do better than that. heās so weakā or ācome on, thereās no way heād fall into despair, heās the Ultimate Hope!ā This kind of mentality, which was kind of ironic considering Ryota was there the entire time saying the same thing and treating Makoto the same way. Like Makoto was superhuman. Like Makoto didnāt feel despair the same way ānormal peopleā did. In a way that was also how Munakata saw Makoto. Makoto stopped being a PERSON to the world when he became Ultimate Hope, he became a concept, a belief system, much the same way Junko ascended beyond herself. But the difference is that treating Makoto that way is the opposite of the reason Makoto became such a representative for hope. He wasnāt doing something no one else could. He was doing something everyone had the chance to, he justā¦ was a little more optimistic, a little more stubborn, a little more āgung-hoā about things. He just took the lead where no one else did, where no one else knew they even COULD in the face of Junkoās unstoppable force. She had overcome the biggest threats and obstacles in the world, what could one person do? And the answer Makoto found was, anything. Everything. It doesnāt all rest on Makoto, heās just the one that was inspired to try to do what seemed like the impossible. But as evidenced by the change in his friends after that trial, itās clearly not something only Makoto is capable of. The others pulled out of despair thanks to Makoto, but it was their choice to do so.
āButā¦ this world is so huge, and weāre so small. What can we doā¦? No, we can probably do anything. Yeah! We can do anything!ā
#makoto naegi#Danganronpa character analysis#Danganronpa#danganronpa thh#danganronpa future arc#I fucking love Makoto Naegi man.#I think thereās a fine line of nuance to Makoto thatās easy to miss bc he doesnāt really make it known#heās not a pushover and heās not overpowered. heās a people pleaser but he will say what needs to be said#heās an immovable object and the exact opposite of Junko but heās also just a normal guy whoās optimistic and (un)lucky#he isnāt invincible but he has immense power to his words the same way Junko did#if anything his superpower is being kind above all else. heās compassionate to some of the worst people in the world.#he was even conpassionatr to an extent to Junko. he didnt want her to kill herself despite everything sheās done#and he still acknowledges that for years she was a classmate and friend.#I do think the more he learned abt what she did the more heās come to actually hate her though#post the first game he always refers to her without a suffix to her name which is one of the most subtle rude things you can do#it means you have zero respect for the person youāre referring to#and he speaks about her with some venom he doesnāt use for anyone else in the future arc#heās not incapable of feeling negative emotions#I really liked the future arc scene bc it showed that Makoto DID experience enough despair to have overcome him if he didnāt refuse#and that it still affects him deeply. people treat him like heās either this perfect ideal Chad or this baby chick whoās so delicate#and no one really focuses on how makoto shoulders so much and yet is still vulnerable.#honestly that guy was DUE for a mental breakdown even without the tape. it would have happened eventually#I actually wrote one based on him finally hitting a breaking point after giving so much of himself away and keeping nothing for himself#that his issues that he shoves down constantly finally canāt be held down anymore. Hajime helps him bc he knows how that feels#it was a LONG time ago that I wrote that but honestly if I can remember where i was going w it I might finish it#it was initially an rp but I could make it a fic#anyway. the point is Makoto is SO much more complex than people give him credit for#the most fundamental thing about him is that heās normal and thatās ok! thatās what helps him rise!

i have soooo much more i cld say abt him, and have explored more thru other doodles, but quick summary of talon's whole deal, which is subject to change still as he's only almost 2 yrs old as an oc
#oc text#obvs sparse description of the events bc i dont mean for it to be gratuitous#even if i decided to explore it further in some medium the focus wouldnt be gratuitous ykwim#not that there werent awful stuff within that but my focus with talon is also more exploration of like#even stuff that isnt a big deal (which it wasnt at first) can effect someone greatly#and then once it does get a bit worse the focus is still more on the effects of how he views himself and the aftermath#AS WELL AS LIKE. well. did i do this to myself? i went back. do i deserve this?#he's a lot like me and the reason i like the self insert dynamic is bc he thinks of cheye as Me If It Didnt All Go Horribly#bc ive not gone thru the Extreme but i have had interactions with ppl who very enthusiastically thought i was ummmm underage!!!#while they were already being creepy toward me and making me nervous abt my safety !#so this isnt ''he's umm 400 but looks 12 bc i want to do weird shit with him š'' dude drawing him Fed makes me so sad sometimes...#we're also weird eating buddies <3#and grief buddies <3 he actually further spawned out of my need to deal with a lot of family members passing away in such a short time#severe death phobia buddies...#i still dont know how he really feels about his Old Wrinkly Form btw all i know is he feels safe in it#as much as id love to sway toward ''he thinks he's hot like that. because he is.'' i also dont want to convey the wrong message wrt this#form being due to....disordered eating caused by Issues. ykwim#though! he can shapeshift quite well when he's fed and maybe he'd choose that form willingly if he ever got. Past everything#he does hate that he never gets to actually age...! he wishes he cld age normally like a mortal...(still scared of dying though)#but we cant knoww for certain yet ykwim. maybe he'll let me know soon.#my issue with talon other than i suck at plots is well he has too many of my issues. and. idk how to solve them.#he's growing with me.#oh and have we noticed he's mean to me when *im* being mean to me...MANY such metaphors#ok goodnite
