#i tried to put human fashion on him and i think it looks ok

[restinslices]

We going fluffy for a lil? YAY! Can I request EarthRealm guys being dads for the first time?

This is longer than what the Earthrealm guys typically get. Usually they all get around 200 words because writing for them takes longer because it’s 5, but this was so cute I got carried away and they all got around 400-500 words😀

Johnny Cage

A mini Cage? Are you serious? 

Can I be honest with y'all? I think this kid would be an accident 

Because of that he'd be nervous. Johnny has a huge ego but he also has huge debt and a dwindling career so he'd be worried about how he'd even take care of this child 

He'd work extremely hard to get more money. He'd even sell his house to get a smaller one that's more affordable (that's how you know he's serious)

He covers his nervousness with humor. This is a whole human he's gonna be raising now

The closer the delivery date gets, the more nervous he gets. His partner moves a little weird and he's “IT'S COMING!”

Calm down Johnny. Damn. 

The entire delivery he's jumpy as fuck. He didn't realize how long it'd take and his nerves are through the roof 

Does Johnny have a huge ego? Yes. Is he an asshole? Yes. Does he make everything a joke? Yes. But this is different. There's a human that's relying on him to survive 

Everytime he looks at the baby he's like “oh shit, I got a baby”

Baby accidents actually make him cringe. His baby vomits on him and he has to physically stop himself from throwing it 

Johnny as a girl dad? Omg. 

That's his little princess. Any money he makes goes to her. She has so many unnecessary toys and he dresses her like an actual princess 

The baby got its own room from jump 

He'll never be against a tea party or a makeover 

During those makeovers he's giving pointers. “Don't use that color, it'll clash with my hair” type of shit 

Be prepared. No matter how hard you try, this kid is becoming a mini Johnny 

He tries to be really active in her life when he's not acting 

Has debated on retiring but you need money so that's not happening 

You'd think he'd want his kid to become an actor but he knows that shit is not safe so absolutely not 

He makes little films with her though. Really cute shit he'll rewatch when she's older 

Time to him goes by so fast. He feels like he blinked and suddenly she was 18 

He's the dad that gets emotional at her graduation. Straight sobbing as she walks the stage

“I'm a cool dad” *puts on shades*

Ok Johnny 

His ability to not take shit serious doesn’t entirely disappear. He’s the parent the child wants the principal to call when in trouble

Little fashion shows? Absolutely

His kid is so spoiled, it's ridiculous. Even if he didn't want a child, he loves them with every part of him 

Kenshi Takahashi 

Another accident baby-

He's trying to fix this whole clan situation so a baby is not something he was thinking of

So when he's told he's gonna have a baby his heart stops for a quick second 

Being terrified is a normal reaction and trust me, he's terrified 

He doesn't know how to be a dad at all and videos aren't helping 

I know I mention this whole on the run from the Yakuza thing a lot but that's a big ass problem. How do you have a baby when mfs are gunning for you?

Why does he agree to keep it? I ain't think that far but anywho, it's too late now. Too far along-

He tries to prepare himself by looking up videos and reading books. He wants to be an amazing dad for his baby 

We don't know how his parents were but I'm assuming his childhood wasn't the best

He promised himself that he's gonna care for this baby and give it a fantastic childhood 

Idk how his vision works now tbh. I'm assuming he can always see so I'm guessing that's not a problem 

Once the baby is here he's all over it. You'd think he gave birth with how much he's playing with it 

I wanna make all of them girl dads tbh and I'm the one writing this soooooo that's what imma do-

Kenshi is making sure everyone is comfortable. His partner and the baby. He's gonna help anyway he can

Having a tiny human depend on him is definitely a wild concept to him

He wants to teach his daughter how to fight but he doesn't want to make her a monster if that makes sense 

He wants to make sure she never uses her skills to harm others for no reason and because of that, any school reports about violence is taken seriously 

Let that school call him and he's asking 20 questions tryna see who the aggressor was. If his daughter was being harassed and she defended herself  then as long as someone wasn't seriously hurt then it's ok. If his daughter was the aggressor? Oh nah

Kenshi is not afraid to lecture and discipline (I don't mean whooping. Whether or not you think any of them would is up to you. I'm not getting into that. Be free) his daughter 

His kid is never walking all over him. He don't let them slide with shit 

He's harsh but it's in a loving way. He's not on her ass for no reason. He wants her to conduct herself well and to be a good person and better than the people he's been surrounded by. He carries this out by being a bit more harsh and strict than he needs to be

That teenage rebellion phase is gonna kick his ass. Omg

He's strict but I don't think he'd be unsafe for his daughter to go to, yk? His daughter knows she can go to him if she needs anything 

If she felt like she couldn't tell him something, his poor little heart would break

I don't think he'd ever take his bandana off around them. Idk how the healing would work but I could imagine it'd still look brutal 

So protective of her. Let someone move towards her a little quick, he's on his feet before he even realizes it 

He doubts his parenting at time and how safe he can keep her but he's doing a really solid job 

Kung Lao

Idk whether or not his baby would be an accident or not 

Either way, Kung Lao has a huge ego and he'd assume it can't be that bad 

He definitely can figure all this out as he goes along. It'll be easy. Nothing to worry about 

He wishes he could go back in time and smack himself for being so stupid 

At first it's fine, then he remembers he has to consistently deal with a baby and he's like “I may have miscalculated”

Why do babies shit so much? They're so small. 

Terrible Twos have him stressed 

When the baby's teething he slowly starts to lose his grasp on reality. All the yelling drives him nuts but he's locked in now 

He tries to use his baby as a challenge to keep him motivated but honestly babe, you're never winning that challenge. Babies are unpredictable 

He has to learn that. Babies are a learning experience and you can't try to use them as some great challenge. Just relax and take things one at a time 

He also teaches his baby how to fight 

Makes them a mini hat but puts something non sharp on the edges, like crayons or something 

Some may think “oh a daughter! She has to be feminine and sweet and blahblahblah!”

Nah, that's now how it works with him

His daughter is learning some Leon Kennedy moves 

After what he's been through he's definitely teaching them how to fight because conflict will always happen. You're never catching his daughter slipping 

The dad that asks “did you win?” if his child gets in trouble for fighting at school 

Let's his child watch scary movies 

He's never doing that bullshit again. She was up all night and he's never regretted anything more 

The type to “randomly” decide to sharpen his hat when his daughter brings a boy over 

“What are you doing dad?” “I'm sharpening my sharp hat that's sharp enough to cut through humans… because it's so sharp”

Puts “The Great” in front of her name whenever describing her 

His daughter probably has a huge ego also. This dude does not teach her to be humble and compliments her when she does anything 

You think a mini Johnny is bad? Mini Kung Lao gives them a run for their money. 

Raiden

I feel like Raiden would have kids when he's older. Idk why but I think he'd be way more careful than everyone else 

So when he hears he's having a baby, he's both nervous and excited 

He's on it. Decorating the nursery, reading books, looking at websites, he's on it all. 

He wants to be prepared so he doesn't mess up 

Messing up is inevitable but don't tell him that 

Once the baby is here, he's super happy. The room is already decorated and he's so glad they can lay in there 

Super affectionate towards his baby. Constantly kissing her head and playing with her 

If any of the other Earthrealm men have a baby, he insists on playdates 

Even if they don't, he plays with his daughter enough 

The type to actually make his voice higher when playing with dolls

Gives his kid cute nicknames that they'll undoubtedly get embarrassed by when they're older 

Are we surprised he also teaches his daughter to fight? No. 

He was minding his business and was told he had to help protect Earthrealm. His kid gotta know how to scrap 

He keeps a good balance of combat and normal childhood so it's fine 

He does little lightning shows for his kid. Is it irresponsible? A little. Is Liu Kang gonna take it back though? No. 

Raises a daughter similar to him; soft spoken and sweet but is willing to throw down when necessary 

He's the parent that genuinely hears his kid out when they get in trouble 

Since this is his first kid he's new to all of this so making mistakes is something that'll happen. Good thing about Raiden tho is that he's willing to apologize when family conflict happens 

He takes so many pictures, it's ridiculous 

Takes pictures the entire first week of school and is spamming Kung Lao with them

He's really invested in child drama ngl. A kid threw a book at another kid? Tell him more so he can gossip with Kung Lao

Discipline is difficult for him because he honestly doesn't know what to do. He's worried he's being too harsh and doesn't wanna push his kid away. It's common knowledge that they'll grow up, move away and he won't see her as much so he doesn't want to push them away and lose them earlier than necessary 

Kids need some sort of discipline though so he gotta figure it out 

When his daughter no longer needs him to check the closet for monsters, his heart might shatter a little bit ngl 

He's taking it one step at a time and honestly? He's doing really good 

Liu Kang

Probably didn't even know he could have kids

He just assumed a keeper of time was outta the game so wdym a baby is on the way?

Liu Kang has watched humans evolve so he's watched plenty of parents raise their babies so he has a lot of references 

He's not as nervous as everyone else. Like I said before, he has plenty of references of what to and what not to do so he's pretty confident in his abilities 

He's only nervous about the threats they'll face once they're alive. Man is used to fighting for his life 

Decorates the nursery and child proofs the entire house 

Makes sure his partner is incredibly comfortable. He wants them completely relaxed 

He packs the bag for when the delivery happens, he doesn't leave the room unless necessary, he's really supportive. 

Once the baby is here he's lowkey hogging the baby 

Thinks his partner should be relaxing after so the baby is always in his arms 

This baby to him is the most precious thing he's ever seen. Having a family is something he really wants so he's on cloud 9

Watching over his kid to see if they get any powers like him, which is likely 

Liu Kang has a good balance between discipline and softness. He's not super strict but he doesn't just let them get away with anything 

Imma sound like a broken record but his daughter is scraping. This is Liu Kang we're talking about 

His daughter is gonna become Gamora-

Fighting skills will be impeccable. Say excuse me if you bump into her or she's going 2 back flips, lighting her body on fire and blowing the area up 

He wants to spend so much time with his daughter. He knows how fast time flies. He's seen humans not appreciate each other and that's not happening with him. His daughter will know she's loved 

He has references like I said earlier but that doesn't mean it's the easiest to do. He tries his hardest though and is probably the most patient

He's more excited for the firsts than they are. This is not your first day of school Liu Kang, why are you so geeked?

Tons of photos of his baby 

Other dads can be really stressed when it comes to their kid growing up but I think he's more accepting of it. Is it sad seeing his baby grow up? Yes. He's used to the idea of aging though. Also his kid is immortal like him so he's comforted by the idea of them never growing older than him 

Liu Kang is a parent that is 100% ok with admitting when he's wrong. There's no toxic shit with him. If he fucked up, he fucked up. 

Probably has the most or one of the most humble kids 

Very affectionate 

Probably wants more kids 

10/10 dad and imma stand on it

“Forgive me Kenshi. I misspoke.” Liar.

I always ramble at the end of these so here I go: y’all I am out of dry dog food and I’m broke so I can’t pay my sister to get food from her job so I’ve been feeding my dog wet food, right. It is 3am, so naturally we’re not on a walk rn. Why did she drop the most devastating shit? I actually wanna walk into traffic. I did not know it could be audible. She didn’t even eat anything before she did it. Donate to $JMentallyUnstable for my cause😔 (I’m joking but not about my suffering. She’s small. HOW is a felony coming outta you bro?) (If I find a tall building-)

Cosmic's Malleyuu Whump vs Flufftober: Day 24

collapsed building / Comfort Food

Malleus's shoulders were stiff at the table, back hovering a few inches off the back of his seat in his rigidity.

"Malleus," said Lilia, in a slight-castigating tone, "perhaps you'd like to relax a bit."

He was almost as stiff as Sebek, whose shoulders were squared parallel to the hard surface of the table he rested his hands upon.

In proper dining fashion, Sebek did not have his elbows resting on the table, but Malleus did, having cupped his hands over his mouth.

It was difficult to tell whether he was bored or nervous. Likely, it was a combination of the two, as Yuu had been cooking for quite a while.

Their little group had been invited over for dinner about a week and five hours ago. Lilia knew this, because Malleus had told him of the exciting news almost as soon as it had happened, and had then reminded him periodically so they would not forget and miss it.

And now, despite his posture, Malleus was rigid with anticipation.

Lilia had tried to ensure he ate a varied diet as he grew up. Earthworms, the souls of the damned, tree fibers. ] It wouldn't do for a king to be picky, even if he could have anything at the snap of his fingers.

Still, Lilia knew Malleus had never had a 'taco' before. He'd barely tried one himself, and he wondered how Malleus would react to the taste.

He wondered about Silver too, but Silver didn't seem so concerned with the food offerings.

"Sebek," said Lilia, "have you ever had a taco?"

Sebek blinked at him momentarily.

"Yes!" he replied. "There is a restaurant near my house in the Briar Valley that serves them, though I have not been there in many years."

"Hmmm. Malleus, are you excited to try a taco?"

Malleus's joints seemed to pop as he turned to look at Lilia.

"Of course," he insisted. "I am excited for this opportunity of cultural exchange on Yuu's end. There are few things as broad and yet as intimate as food."

"I must agree," cut in Silver. "It's always nice to be able to try... regular human food."

They all nodded in agreement, before falling back into silence.

"Just a few more minutes!" shouted Yuu from the kitchen. "I promise!"

"There's no rush," said Lilia in a raised voice, and the dining room was silent again.

Lilia wondered what Malleus was thinking about. Certainly, there were a number of avenues to consider, especially within the walls of Ramshackle.

Truly impressive, how Yuu had managed to turn around the half-collapsed building from a death trap into one of the most coveted gathering spaces on campus, and he was glad to be able to enjoy it this evening.

Malleus had seemed to be feeling the same way, as though Lilia knew he'd been here before, he'd eaten up everything in sight hungrily, commenting on Yuu's taste in all things interior design.

"Ok, ready everyone!" Yuu suddenly burst into the dining room, light spilling in from the kitchen, and the delicious scent of home cooking wafted in. Lilia resolved to act in a way that would give Yuu the best impression of the group, for Malleus's sake.

They were balancing two large plates on either of their hands, and Grim, who was on their shoulder, appeared to be holding some small bowls. The two of them quickly got to work arranging everything on the table, passing out the plates and napkins with it.

"Ok! So here," said Yuu, pointing to the small bowls Grim had been holding, "are some of the sides. Just take as many tacos as you want, and you can put whatever you want on them. Cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, it's your choice."

Two of the places Yuu had been holding were stacked high with the tacos. They were golden little tubes, filled with some sort of chopped meat.

Lilia took one right away and bit into it, finding it crunchy and savory. He nodded in enjoyment to the boys, and they unfroze themselves enough to take a few for their own.

Instead of eating the rest of it plain, Lilia used the spoons in the bowls to give himself some lettuce and tomato, and found the flavor significantly enhanced.

Malleus took five, not taking a bite before all of them had received his desired proportion of toppings.

Silver ate one carefully, chewing slowly. At first, Lilia couldn't tell if he actually liked it, but he ate his second much quicker.

Sebek tried a number of combinations of toppings, using each bite to its advantage. On his second taco, he poured tomatoes and cheese on it, and ate it with gusto.

"These are delicious, Yuu," said Malleus between bites. "Your skill for cooking is evident."

Yuu's electric smile seemed to spread wide enough to split their face in half, and Lilia realized they were now sitting as rigidly as Malleus was just a few minutes ago.

"Thank you!" they said gleefully. "I'm glad you like the,. It's ultimately a pretty simple recipe, but- well, I'm glad you like it."

Yuu's jitteriness almost seemed like a perfect inversion of Malleus's frozen stoicism, and Lilia realized something he'd already known.

They were perfect for each other.

He grinned to himself behind his taco, and Malleus made a show of eating and tried to maintain eye contact with Yuu as they watched him eagerly.

Ah, young love.

[morpinaround]

saw your au dungeon in dsmp and had to share an idea about it because oh my gods I might MASSIVELY start brainrotting otherwise-

I think it would be funny for kabru + Latios and co to see techno and assume monsters got out or he's a new monster(assuming he looks like a piglin on a massive furry scale of techno designs) only for philza (who looks very beastman-y but definitely is sane and sound in mind- if you ignore how good he might be at fashioning weapons and armor out of things from monsters and from the dungeon for his loved ones including benchtrio and how insanely old he is while still being young-ish) to go "naw he's just a silly shapeshifter"(relatively joking + affectionate)

later on due to some needs, maybe he finally relaxes? or he tires himself out drastically in a battle? he suddenly shifts into a more human and not pig-man form and everyone is "O_O" at him.

OH MY GOD I'VE BEEN THINKING ABOUT THIS ok so for this AU I've been thinking over how the dunmeshi world would try to understand what types of beasts/demihumans each dsmp member is. They're still completely what they were originally, but the dunmeshi characters keep trying to categorize them to fit them into their world (with the exception of Laios because I see him going like "Oh no you guys obviously aren't like anything we've seen. I'm gonna ask you a million questions though because I want to give you a NEW category") But anyway, here's how the dunmeshi characters view each member!! [entire explanation under]

Techno - At first they are just like. 100% sure he's an Orc. Techno doesn't really care at all what they think, but Philza gives off the vibes of "actually doesn't wanna get attacked on the surface" so he DEFINITELY tries to assure people "No he's just like- been cursed!!! To look all monstrous like this lol" (cus he's not sure how well they'll respond to shapeshifters, they might mistake Techno for a doppelgänger!) and Techno is like "What the fuck" for the most part but again. doesn't care enough. Philza - Genuinely they just thought he was an elf or half-elf for the longest period of time because he keeps his wings under his cape. Until he showed his wings and Laios freaked out thinking he was the first male harpy they'd ever recorded. Nope!! After that debacle they think of him like a Beastman like Izutsumi Tommy - Oni, probably an Ogre like Tade, though they are all quite curious on why his horns are "dyed" like that. Also why he's so small. Also why he's not from the east. Actually they don't fully think he's an Ogre at all it's just the first group they could put him with and they rolled with it Tubbo - I think they'd struggle the most with Tubbo. POSSIBLY?? They try to put him down as an Orc as well, but I think they'd just come to understand him like they do Philza, he's just a cursed Beastman. Ranboo - OKAY. So in the manga there's this character whos an elf called Flamela, and on the wiki at least (I can't be bothered to go through the manga for a proper refresher), it specifies that "her obsidian-like skin and silver hair are traits that are considered 'proof of true royalty.'." For this reason, I think it'd be fun if for the most part everybody, and ESPECIALLY the canaries, just think he's a really fucked-up royal Elf. Don't ask me how this makes sense it's just funny. Elves losing their mind over this "obviously lost member of our royalty" and he's just there

[subarashiihibi]

my thing about izaya is that he's so strange and weird and i love that so much. i didn't want to ramble too much in the notes of that poor person's post but i find the way he speaks and the words he chooses so interesting so let me ramble a little bit. this may or may not even be coherent so bear with me here im just going to speak my thoughts.

ok this got really fucking long and all over the 0place so im putting this under a read more sorry.

so i have volume 9 of the novel in both english and japanese. i only have two novels in japanese and that is this one and yuuyake wo. so i'm pretty crazy about this izaya speech analysis shit. anyways i was rereading thru the jp ver the other day just to compare it to the eng and i kinda realized that like.

a lot of people you can separate their speech in either formal and informal speech right? someone like shizuo speaks really informally and uses a lot of rough, dragged-out versions of words and stuff (しゃーねえ vs しょうがない) and then someone like shinra who speaks in a ton of yojijukugo and generally sounds like a nerd emoji gijinka.

izaya on the other hand rly... doesn't fit in either? i mean sure he sounds like another nerd emoji gijinka but it's kinda different. it's not so much the words he speaks but rather the intonation and his tone...

and he has his moments where he speaks pretty seriously and whatnot of course, but in general he just... doesn't sound very human when he speaks? i don't know if that's a conscious effort or not. is it his attempts at distancing himself from his own individual humanity? or is it just because he's a weird guy? i dunno. but it's interesting nonetheless.

one thing i will note though is that despite his somewhat inhuman speech patterns, it's also pretty...dramatic? to the extent where it's really exaggerated but also very cute and charming. (this part is important.)

i think a lot of what makes izaya's speech so weirdly inhuman is because he doesn't really use a lot of slang or similar lingo that people his age would typically use. i know mikado said in the novels that he doesn't really try to fit in with his age group's fashion sense either so it makes sense but still. he's like an old hag it's so funny. and it's because of that that when he says stuff like 'i don't get all hot and heavy over headless women' or whatever he said to celty it's really amusing to me because like... why is the strange man saying this?💀

another example i kinda giggled about on my twitter when i read it it's not even crazy and i sound corny and cheesy and stupid but theres this scene in vol 9 where izaya messages celty for business and hold on let me just put it as a quote.

he sounds so old saying 'video game' like 😭 idk it's just funny cause he barely even knows anything abt games like bro knows nothing im crying

in the jp hes like 「…ゲーム中なのかい？」 and then when celty tries to explain herself he says 「何を言ってるのか、良く解らないんだけど」 and im rly bad at tling parts of sentences and stuff but just know that the way he words it makes it sound like this gif to me

i love both versions i think the original jp makes him sound like hes so lost and confused (hence why pw gif cause lord that man always looks lost LMFAOOOO) and then eng tl just blunt ass "I don't know what you're talking about." makes him sound like full on hag 😭😭😭

OMFG WAIT I HAVE TO MENTION THIS FUCKING SCENE WITH SHINRA ITS SO FUNNY.

first i think it's funny the translation has izaya say fuck here cause he very rarely swears and i did read this one thing about how he only swears when his mask slips so to me this is like genuine bewilderment that he cant even hide LOL. second why is he so excited to hear about 'whatever sexual fetish' shinra has im crying he's so damn nosy . okay but this is not the funniest part let me add that now.

???

ehy the hell is izaya orihara talking about foot fetishes???😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 im crying bruh i was so flabbergasted when i read this i was like WHAT did he just say? he says it in the jp ver too which just makes it even funnier. this goes back to what i said earlier but i always get so amused when izaya has something to say about sex or whatever cause he's so fucking weird and unsettling why does he know that

(i mean i also get so hard i nearly pass out thinking about izaya tlaking about sex but thats probably just a thing with my heart condition and stuff)

oh also another scene i think is really cute and amusing and funny is back when shinra was first still trying to get izaya to form the bio club w him.

1. shinra is funny as fuck in this scene but also izaya's "Hmm. Can I punch you?" made me havbe a good laugh. in the jp he says 「んー。殴ってもいいのかな？」 which is pretty much the same thing just with the intonation of like 'hmmmmmmmmm should i hit u or not...' sorry like i said im just bad w explaining this stuff. but i felt the need to point it out not cause im one of those annoying ppl who praise the original jp ver and reject translations and localizations i just think it's important for izaya specifically cause i love him and i want to analyze his speech patterns as best as i can.

i was going thru the novel just now for other stuff i wanted to mention and i forgot abt this part but it's so funny.

'Let's not get hasty. Type calmly, please.' its not even funny or nothing i just find it so amusinf whenever he talks like that💀 i will say though the english translation kind of makes him sound more weird and inhuman than the original. that line in the original was basically just him telling her she needs to calm down enough to at least type properly LOL. idk if im just being nitpicky cause this is izaya tho so feel free to ignore that. fwiw i like the eng tl bc while it's a different intonation than the original japanese ver i think if he did speak english it would probably sound smth like that anyways.

this too made me laugh like ??? seriously he is really nosy when it comes to people's intimate affairs. in the jp ver he calls them an 'intimate couple' which just is like .. ok bro💀

does anyone else see my vision of izaya getting cucked by celty (does it count as cucking when celtys the one dating shinra) while he looks sad and pathetic and miserable that he never decided to shoot his shot w shinra back in the day

if i were commenting on the actual stuff going on in this scene rn this post would be a lot olonger and even more terribly all over the place so im just gonna focus on how i think it's funny izaya says 'easy, man...' this is like one of the only times his words are somewhat natural and sound like smth you would hear someone else say. in the jp ver it's 「おいおい…」 which is somewhat less out of left field in terms of coming from izaya but still it's pretty surprisingly normal. i have to wonder if in that moment he's too worried about shinra to care about keeping up appearances.

this is just random and me making fun of izaya as usual but why the hell does he weigh himself after his showers💀💀💀 it's cute and endearing and only adds to his strong gap moe but still... it's strange...

speaking of cute things this is from a volume i forget but he says this one phrase a couple of times and it is just both really cute and also kind of idk... saddening. one of the times i can remember he says it is when namie was making fun of him or something and he replies 'Don't tease me. I'm only human.' or something along those lines and it's like . hm. ok.

i think it's cute he says 'dont tease me' a few times cause eughhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (trying to ward off severe brain damaged incoherent thoughts) but 'im only human' is like... are you really? even after you try so hard to escape your own humanity and individual self so much... im going to try and give my thoughts on it here but this is just based off my hc that izaya has bpd so yanno. im basing a lot oif this on my own experiences sorry. i do that a lot. (gestures over to all the posts i make abt fob/mychem fan izaya)

when it comes to just straight up acknowledging his humanity izaya has no problems with this because 'sure, i'm human. isn't that obvious?' is probably something along the lines of what he thinks. it's easy for him to just say that because it's just that. it's just words. it holds no real meaning and shows no true insight into how he actually perceives himself. but when it comes to actually having to come face to face with his own humanity and the fact that yes, he is only human, it's a lot more difficult because now it's out of his control. i wonder also if he has problems with perceiving his own self.

i say this a lot but i truly do believe izaya is so so so beautiful and i love him so much. also i just saw a funny post on twitter so i wanna say this here idk if yall know this but izayas actually a latina hes got chismosavirus❤ ok thats all i have to say sorry for rambling so much

ok i also tried to come up with a quick svsss arranged marriage bingqiu and got so into "no but i need more setup for it, it makes no sense like this" and now it seems to be SQH crack with qijiu instead because *shen yuan hasn't been born yet* what the frick self.

-- svsss -- The truth wasn't that Airplane had hatched a master plan to sneak out from under his System's unforgiving yoke.

The truth was that he'd been buried in emergency inventory lists to his eyebrows for the last two weeks, and just that day had to deal with eight different customers who couldn't understand why heightened demon-human hostilities would mean their ancient viagra tea would be harder to procure, all because his shifu thought he could do with more asshole-handling practice. The last thing he needed was Shen newly-Qingqiu getting in his face about the wrong wood being used in his tranquility-promoting benches.

Who the fuck caaaaaaares bro shut the FUCK up we all know it's because the wood grain's not the right swirliness for your "artistic vision"!

So he lost his temper.

In true Shang Qinghua fashion he lost it in the privacy of his own mind and nowhere else. "Ah, shixiong, you understand, we're too understaffed to send a team! It would be months before an expedition could be justified."

"Why is that."

Airplane had created Shen Jiu to be a bitch, but sometimes he was still surprised at the depths of bitchiness he managed to plunder with a single eyebrow.

"Because I try not to feed more than five shidis a week to Colossal Orchid-Faced Ants when I can help it?"

The way Shen Quingqiu paused and gave him a considering look had Shang Qinghua freeze solid for a second. Fuck fuck shit abort--

"Shang-shidi's tongue seems in fine form today," Shen Qingqiu commented in a silky way that Airplane translated into 'ooh, a challenger to my bitchy crown'. "One would almost think he didn't find his mistake anything to complain about."

... Jjghbgffhhh.

I really love you're writing💞

I would really like to ask a request(if you don't mind,I hope you don't,everyone's been ignoring me😭)Obey me brothers reacting to a Mileena Mc from Mortal Kombat.If you don't know Mileena than It's ok.

Obey me brothers reacting to a maneater or femme fatale Mc with her playful,blood thirsty and powerhungry personality.

I hope I didn't bother you.Have a nice day,Ty🥰

Mileena Reader | Yandere Obey Me!

To say you're eccentric is an understatement. You brandish your sai(s) with ease, when you're not wearing the uniform your wearing your typical tight-fitting assassin attire. You often keep a mask on your face only ever revealing it when you feel your getting too attached:

“You scared of me, boys?”

Lucifer

“I’m sure you’d like it if I was.”

He’s genuinely worried 

Not about his brothers about you

He sees you often put up this act of confidence gained by scaring others or tricking them

In the rare moments he sees you, the real you, he wants the moment to last forever

“(Y/n) I love you for you.”

“Even with a face like this?”

“Especially with a face like this.”

“You’re a fool, then I could eat you alive if I willed it.”

“I’d let you.”

“Pftt whatever.”

He knows you put up a front and he doesn’t mind

But he wants the real you

So he kind of backs you up even when your crossing lines left and right

“Ahhhh Lucifer that human transfer actually tried to cut me!”

“I see.”

“Are you going to do something!” 

“It means she likes you…don’t get too cozy though.”

“Oh, Maaaammmoooonn?”

“Ahhhhhh.”

Mammon

“I-I am not!”

He’s certainly not lying

But he is the first to go from running from you to shyly turning on his back for you

Scary and loving are closer than you’d think for the avatar of greed

He knows you play him like a fiddle

Changing your playful voice to something warmer when you cuddle into him

Before switching back to your playful side again

“Now come on Mammon don’t you want this amulet? It's worth what again?”

“I-its priceless! A-a fashion time-piece that is going to sell for thousands no millions.”

“Then. Come. And. Get. It.”

“B-but you p-put it in your–next to your–”

“Are you rejecting my offer?”

“No! I’m coming!”

He’s the puppy you love to chase around and pulling on his leash is a part of the fun

Even when you reveal your face he’s not as phased as you’d hope

“Eh, I’ve seen worse.”

Take that as you will but he’s fighting anyone with something to say

“Oi. Don’t you dare talk about my human! If you do it’ll cost you.”

Leviathan

“Y-yes b-but will you do that voice of that character I like?”

Similar to Mammon you scare him and make him feel amazing

Somehow you show up in his room when he’s locked the door

Laying in his tub/bed when he goes to end the day

But he loves it more than he’d like to admit when you do step on him

Or tease him

You remind of a character from a battle game he plays

A Scarleena from Immortal Combat

“I’ve never heard of such a thing…are you enamored by her?”

“Well duh, I wouldn’t have bought her limited edition figurine model if I wasn’t.”

“Then do you like her more than me?”

“Uh-uh n-n-no. Y-your hands–ack–t-touching me!”

“Good. I was starting to think you would have hated me. Won’t you show me how much you care?”

“O-okay! Y-yes!”

He’s not as reliant on you as Mammon but he still relays how he feels about you when you play

“You look just like that character!”

“Levi.”

“Sorry, b-but I still think you are pretty…for a real-life, anyway.”

“Ara ara and I thought you were only into 2-D?”

*blushing fiercely* “W-well I can make an exception…only cause it's you.”

Satan

“Hardly.”

He’s intrigued by you

He’s not on the run from you but he certainly doesn’t understand you at first

You are his newest investigation

“So you're interested in knowing about me?”

“Yes. Any siblings?”

“Ugh yes, but I’d sooner kill her than see her again.”

“Well, we might have more in common than I originally thought.”

He’s right your help in his pranks against his brother is greatly appreciated

And he finds himself smitten when he sees you past your playful power-hungry actions

“(Y/n)...did you truly think I’d no longer be interested in you after seeing your face?”

“It’s not a bizarre thought, for you.”

“Then you must not know me well enough, dear.”

“Oh? Are you doubting that I know who I’m speaking to?”

“No. I’m doubting how thoroughly you investigated. Especially with a subject as willing as I.”

“Then don’t mind if I do.”

“Go ahead. I promise to be gentle.”

Asmodeus

“Oya? I’ll be really scared if you pin me now!” 

So dramatic it almost throws you off 

But on the best of days you both keep each other on your toes

“Promiscuous as always, Asmodeus?”

“You know it, darling! Now about showing me what’s under that mask…”

“Didn’t I tell you? I’d eat you if you saw.”

“But that’s exactly what I want!”

“I think there's been a misunderstanding.”

Now unlike the others who either don’t care or don’t mind Asmodeus does

“Oh…oh…my that is awfully….gnarly.”

“See. Now that you’ve seen I will–”

“Now hold on, don’t misunderstand you will always be pretty because it's you….but we need to figure out how kissing is going to work…hmm.”

“I see no reason to discuss something so pointless.”

“Nonsense, it should probably be fine if we stole the pair from that one model…it’d be convenient for the upcoming make-up launch.”

“Violence?”

“Yup!”

Beelzebub

*Munch Munch* “Huh? Did you say something?’

The answer is no

You can threaten him all you like or try to seduce him but he’s not budging 

“You’d do best not to hold me if you don’t want to have a chunk eaten off of you!”

“If that's what it takes to make you eat then so be it.”

“Stubborn, I’ll tolerate it if you can defeat me.”

“You want to fight? Fine but you have to eat first it's not healthy to do lots of exerting yourself without eating.”

“Grrrrr I’ll gut you for your incompetence!”

*Shifts to demon form* “If you're going to refuse me I will use force.”

You two don’t really get on the same level on your own 

Someone (Belphegor) has to mediate so you can clear up the misunderstanding

Its a wonder how you two still end up clashing at least on your end anyway

No one knows if he’s really seeing you or just putting his own thoughts on you

“So that's why you weren’t eating around me. Don’t do that again, I was worried.”

“Worried? For me? Best be careful your sentimentality may lead to your doom.”

“If it's really embarrassing for you we can eat away from everyone, I’m sure Lucifer won’t mind.”

“Are you deaf?”

“Nope but if you do have a taste for demons we can take a trip to the slums.”

Belphegor

“Only as scared as you are of me.”

“That would be none.”

“Good.”

You so easily affirm his dislike for humans

But more than he likes to admit he enjoys it every time

And so he fights with himself about what it is he likes about fighting you

The actual fighting or you

It turns out to be the latter as he finds himself waking with anger when you're antagonizing some other demon

“Don’t do that again.”

“What? Leave your side when you slumber? What am I? Your teddy bear?”

“Heh might as well be with how much I think about you.”

“What’s that? Are you admitting a surrender to your teddy bear?”

“Hah never!” 

To the naked eye, your relationship makes no sense 

but it doesn’t matter 

not to him at least

All that matters is that when he sleeps that your in arms-length

“From this point on, you're my human. *Yawn* So no picking fights without me.”

“And who are you to demand this of me?”

“Your demon Belphegor.”

Valentine, you're a

horse

(rain code pony au. design notes under the cut!)

just as a note, i haven't seen my little pony since i was like. 11. and also i don't think i watched beyond twilight becoming an alicorn. my knowledge of later seasons mostly comes from horsecomix. so if i say anything that contradicts the Horse Lore, sorry about that.

ok now for individual designs.

yuma is a unicorn, mostly because mystery labyrinths require him to be able to hold a sword and talk at the same time. in addition to his memories, he lost his cutie mark in the pact, so everyone who sees him is like "damn you're an amnesiac AND a blank flank? pick a struggle". he doesn't have any accessories by default, but he probably gets a little hat in the rain + his cape in the mystery labyrinth. he was the first pony i drew, so his face looks a little janky. i struggled with drawing the ponies from any angle other than a perfect sideview, and the snouts/mouths were the hardest parts by far. the front view i did for yuma was a bit easier than the 3/4 view i did for most of the cast, but it was still tougher than i expected. pony artists who mimic the style of the show have all of my respect.

shinigami's spirit form was changed a little bit, although it was already so abstracted compared to a real human that i didn't feel i needed to change much in order to make her fit into the pony universe. i just swapped her horns out for wings and gave her a horn. i also removed her thumbs and made her colors closer to her human (er, pony) form. she's no longer a "death god" in the traditional sense, now being the "princess of death" in the same way twilight is the princess of friendship or cadence is the princess of love. she was sealed away because she was shit at her job (just killed a fuckton of people for no reason) but anypony who stumbled across the book she was sealed in can make a contract w her just like in rain code canon. obvi this is a little dark for the actual mlp universe, they wouldn't be putting a trigger-happy murder princess in their rated y cartoon, but this is the same fanbase that made fuckin. cupcakes and rainbow factory and a whole slew of others that make the main characters of mlp infinitely more fucked up than canon shinigami ever was. so i feel like we can have a little suspension of disbelief here.

shinigami's true form is an alicorn, obvi. she's a god princess, she's gonna be an alicorn. i tried to refrain from giving the characters too many accessories to better mimic the simpler mane 6 designs, but shinigami looked so naked with just the crown. so she also got her flower and little necklace. i didn't even attempt to put her hair in braids, since drawing her face at that angle was such a challenge already. upon posting this, i also realize i forgot to give her a tail. just imagine any tail you want on her. pin the tail on the shinigami. her cutie mark has the same dark void effect as nightmare moon's, although i can't remember if luna also has it as well. regardless, it's a visual tie-in to nightmare moon, who has a similar "princess banished to an inanimate object" thing going on. the actual cutie mark itself is two bones, representing death in a cutesy cartoony fashion. i was gonna do a skull and crossbones but then i realized. no one knows what a human skull looks like. there's no people. and i am NOT about to draw a fucking horse skull. so, bones it is.

yakou is probably the one i'm proudest of! i feel like i really captured the essence of the background pony in him. i feel like i could see him hanging out with lyra heartstrings and dr. whooves and i wouldn't bat an eyelash. his hair is a little longer than in the original design but i think it looks cute so it's fine. his cutie mark is an umbrella because his calling as a detective leads him to protect others like an umbrella protects you from the rain, plus kanai ward has its whole Thing. and he can be kind of a gloomy person at times, very pessimistic. he's an earth pony because he's just a normal guy, no forte in canon and stuff like that.

makoto was probably the trickiest to actually design. the element of mystery is super important in the original character design, but he was able to still have some skin exposed since almost all of the character designs in that game have a skintone of "homestuck white". in mlp, where coat colors can be any color of the rainbow (and the colors outside of the rainbow), makoto would lose that element of mystery. so, while i generally try to avoid putting the ponies in clothes, makoto kind of needed them. he's got his full suit and a set of gloves and white shoes for his hooves. instead of being a sort of "paper plate" mask, he's got a rubber halloween mask that extends past his neck instead. don't ask how the mane comes out of the mask. we don't ask how canon makoto's mask stays on with no straps, so don't ask about this one. the mask goes over his horn, so it blocks out most powerful magic, but basic spells like levitation are still possible with a bit of effort. the pants of his suit hide his cutie mark, and when asked about what it is, he gives a different answer each time.

kurumi isn't a super complicated or in-depth design. just a cute lil earth pony with a cutie mark of a speech bubble, since she does a lot of information gathering via talking to others. in hindsight, i should've given her freckles in the same color as her body outline. imagine she has freckles please. thank you.

fubuki is the design where i actually got the courage to attempt a braid. no idea if it looks good, i didn't use a reference and my hair is too short to braid it myself. i wanted an earth pony in the core group of nda members, and i was sort of torn between her and desuhiko. however, i'm a personal believer in the "all ponies can use magic on some level" theory, and that theory posits that earth ponies have a tendency to be able to use the intrinsic magic of their planet in subtle ways. applejack can enhance her physical strength without really doing anything consciously, and most importantly, pinkie pie can bend the laws of reality for The Bit. i think time travel is kinda like bending the laws of reality for The Bit. plus, desuhiko's disguise ability is kinda like an illusion, which feels like more of a unicorn ability. her cutie mark is a clock. because. uh. you know.

desuhiko is a unicorn for reasons i mentioned in fubuki's notes. his backpack is worn like a saddle, but he can still use it to disguise himself like in rain code canon. his cutie mark is the bag with a star on it, hinting that there's a superstar (him) in the bag. not much to say about him other than that.

vivia is a pegasus. since his forte allows him to fly, it makes sense for him to be able to fly in his base form as well - he'd get used to the flight powers inherent to his ability a lot quicker if he could already do it. he's definitely more of a fluttershy than a rainbow dash in terms of how he uses his ability to fly. he prefers to walk, but if his legs get tired, he'll switch to flying for a little bit. but then both his legs and his wings get tired and he takes a little nap. that's what the pose is meant to be, altho it does look a bit like he's flying. his cutie mark is a disappearing flash shape, as his spirit form is invisible and he tends to disappear into the background in general. someone in the rain coat server told me he looks like stoney pony and i haven't been able to get that out of my mind.

halara was the last pony i drew, because i love them and wanted to get as much pony-drawing experience as i could before turning them into an equine. can't have my pookie bear looking like shit! they are also a pegasus, but not for forte reasons like vivia. rather, they just do impressive feats of athleticism on the reg, and i feel like they would be a great flyer as a result. imagine the scene where yuma calls for help while being detained by seth and the peacekeepers. a blue and purple bursts onto the scene from the fucking clouds and halara is divebombing the peacekeepers. that'd be sick as fuck. their cutie mark is an eye, because postcognition is all about sight.

erm ok thats everyone!!! i'm bad at pony names so if anyone has any ideas leave them in the comments or the tags ☺️

LWA: So, GOOD OMENS is a comedy!

I'm tempted to say that that's the sum total of the ask, but...folks, it's a comedy. It's a comedy with occasional moments of drama to manage the viewer's affect, raise the narrative stakes, and accentuate the humor, just as tragedy normally has occasional moments of comedy to relax the audience and accentuate the horror (the Porter from MACBETH staggers in, waves, staggers back out again). Not only does it behave like a comedy, all of its characters act and, within the narrative, are interpreted according to comic conventions. One of the reasons I've bounced so hard off GO fanfic is that so many writers transfer the characters to dramatic (or even tragic) narratives without changing anything about how they interact with their fictional world, and as a result Aziraphale & Crowley mutate into the gods from AMERICAN GODS, who, even when "nice," are still all selfish SOBs.[1]. (That's what happens whenever you try to play a comic character "straight" without radically revising it: most comic characters would turn into villains if you put them into non-comic plots.) The reason I can talk about the child murder subplot from s1 as just a matter of Crowley having to learn that, no, sweetie, just because you've hired a hitman doesn't let you off the hook for the death (also, you know your friend trusts you, maybe quit taking advantage of that, hmmm?), and not as an urgent call to Aziraphale to DTMFA, is because that subplot still operates according to the rules of gallows humor.

The many legit complaints about S2's structure and pacing aside--this was a miniseries that could have been a movie--the reason that Gaiman could undo S1 so easily was because /as a comedy/, S1 works just fine. Most of the conflicts--Crowley attempting to get Aziraphale to kill a kid for him and what that reveals about his unwillingness to take responsibility for, well, anything; Aziraphale vacillating in his loyalties to Crowley and Heaven and what that reveals about his struggle to develop an independent moral framework--are worked out through minimal dialogue, symbolic action, and a fair amount of mood whiplash. Madame Tracy stops them from killing a kid? OK, that's sorted. Yo, Crowley, if you don't do something, something you think is legitimately bad will happen! OK, Crowley has suddenly discovered that taking responsibility exists. Yes, we tried murdering you a couple of minutes ago, but let's give you a pep talk! OK, fixed that subplot. Oh, I am going to give Crowley a meaningful look after my pep talk about the superiority of being "human incarnate"! OK, clearly Aziraphale has got that part of his problem mostly sorted. Hey, we're having a gentle conversation on the park bench! OK, Aziraphale doesn't actually accept Crowley's invitation (to the place or the side) in words, but there's symbolic lighting! And he sits next to him on the bus! And he clearly went to the apartment! So /that's/ fixed too. Right? Now we're risking our lives to save each other! OK, we've finally gotten past the damsel-in-distress game, and score another point for Crowley taking responsibility for his actions and Aziraphale choosing Crowley over Heaven. Then, in good comic fashion, everyone pairs up at the end, and Aziraphale and Crowley dine at the Ritz to romantic music.[2] Comic reconciliation, everyone! All of this is completely appropriate for the medium; trying to put the original dialogue for Aziraphale's and Crowley's moral epiphanies at the airfield on the screen, for example, would be both awkward and too much of a tension killer for the moment. But it does mean that all Gaiman and Finnemore had to do in S2 was to say that everything "resolved" through action and, at best, minimal dialogue had not been resolved at all, because virtually nothing was ever /named/.

I have no predictions for S3, because who knows, but...these are comic characters. Most of the angstier demands for the conditions under which Crowley will accept Aziraphale back or, quite frankly, vice-versa, don't seem to fit their established characterization or the comic narrative structure in which they exist.[3] It's highly unlikely that said established characterization will change very much, because, again, they are comic characters, and comic characters by virtue of their function tend to be both resilient (a character from a serious TV drama could never plausibly survive a sitcom unscathed) and limited in their ability to develop. Will Crowley learn about moral responsibility? Sure. Will he ever learn that actions have consequences? Almost certainly not, because that's one of the key drivers of the series' humor. Will Aziraphale fully shake off his allegiance to Heaven? Sure. Will he ever stop getting into trouble because he is INT 20, WIS 0? Amost certainly not, because ditto. Has anyone looked back at PRIDE & PREJUDICE recently? Within 3 very short chapters, Lizzie Bennet's fury at Darcy after the botched proposal is almost entirely DOA, thanks to her honest reading of the eye-opening letter he writes her; a couple of chapters later, she still has no regrets about turning him down (because his behavior truly wasn't "gentleman-like"), but she has otherwise admitted his sterling character and come to grips with the fact that his criticism of her family was, alas, on the nose. That's much more aligned with GO's narrative economy and characterization than C&A being enraged at each other for six episodes straight.

[1] I should note that I'm excluding cases where the author is, in fact, experimenting with different story-telling modes to see what happens. Ironically, Dark!AUs for both protagonists are arguably by far the most honest accounts of what happens when you strip the comedy out.

[2] I read the novel for professional rather than recreational reasons, and didn't see anything posted on Tumblr or AO3 until months after the TV series came out, so I'm afraid that my reaction to the end of the novel was not "ah, a cosmic romance, unlike the ill-sorted and screwed-up human couples," but "however you read this, Aziraphale and Crowley are just as ill-sorted and screwed-up as the human couples; it's just that that's what love /looks like/ in this universe."

[3] I guess I have to explain that I don't relate to or identify with the characters, and when it comes to analysis it doesn't matter if I like or dislike them. The TV characters are not people, but the collaborative product of the script, the actors, the production crew, and indeed the audience's interpretations, and they are inseparable from their narrative function. (E.g., the child murder subplot in S1 interests me because, besides telling us something about both the protagonists' failings, it is also part of the series' bigger arguments about free will and moral deliberation.)

The promised neverland Headcanon dump:

don and Norman are really close and don likes to carry Norman around on his back when he gets tired !!

Norman let’s Phil use his spare computer to watch YouTube when Norman’s working !!

On days when the younger kids can’t sleep, they go to ray’s room and he hums them a lullaby or reads them a book and they all jsut sleep on the spare bed 🫶

Ray totally tried to distance himself from Norman and Emma as a kid so he wouldn’t get attached, ofc he did anyway.

Since Phil is really smart as shown in the series, he’s def the top student in his class and every time he aces a test Emma takes him to get icecream and hang out!!

so at the night of the escape Ray wore Norman’s sweater, Ik they all wore one but Norman wears his like ALL the time because he gets sick so easily and stuff, so he gave it to Ray before he got shipped and Ray wore it even if it’s kinda small on him!!

Barbara is totally a sister figure to Norman, and when the nightmares get bad he’ll hold her and let her vent to him whenever <33 (goes both ways)

The lambda kids are totally protective of Norman especially since him being the youngest and shortest!!!

Norman is totally like a whole ass ice cube like he’s always cold no matter what and Ray is like a fucking heater so when the two cuddle and sleep together (literally) Norman clings into Ray bec he’s warm and Norman balances out ray’s warmth so they work so well together!!!

Since Ray stays up late, he comes to check up on Norman when he sleeps and gives him a cheek kiss everytime he checks up on him, and whenever he sees normans blanket falling from his bed he puts it back on his bed and he wraps Norman in his blanket so he won't get cold. (My friends hc)

ok so since Ray is like a fucking heater whenever it’s winter and Norman gets cold at night he sneaks into rays room and climbs in bed with him, if Ray wakes up and asks why Norman says it’s because of a nightmare (ray totally saw through it but he thinks it’s cute soo)

Ray totally loves showering Norman’s face with kisses constantly because Norman is extremely ticklish and stuff and so when he does Norman laughs n smiles at the ticklish feeling and Ray finds it fucking adorable

When they saw Norman again, (after being shipped) it took a couple days but Norman finally told Ray about the experiments, Ray comforted him and when he comforts Norman, he runs his fingers through his hair n like pets it bec Norman finds it comforting

Norman loves braiding hair, and since he didn’t cut his hair since Lambda , he has about upper back length hair, so he teaches Ray to braid hair and the two spend all day braiding eachother’s hair

Don and Gilda r like the most innocent couple ever they’re so wholesome and so adorable BUT Don is fucking terrified of her when she’s angry I mean you saw when she yelled at Emma

Don and Gilda r totally the parental couple they act like a married couple and like it’s adorabke (don totally proposed when they were like 5-6 with a ring pop.)

small sad lil hc, but when Norman and Ray argue the two can say some pretty hurtful things, but if the argument was especially bad, Ray would say some mean fucking things, he once said “you should’ve gotten shipped, not sent to Lambda.” (in one previous argument, Norman said he was just like Isabella)

so Gilda is like great at cooking n shit, don can cook but it doesn’t look edible so when he cooks she’ll plate it too look nice n edible

don seems like the type to catch her off guard with lil kisses

Phil is so fucking adorable and Anna def let’s him play with her hair 🫶

once everyone reached the human world, Gilda ran a fashion business and design shop because of her love for fashion and Don probably ran like a fuckin dojo with those punching skills 💀 but anyways !! She definitely makes the designs and stuff for his dojo <3

when they were 5-6 Don proposed to Gilda with a ring pop, years later when they get married at 21 don brings it up in his vow and says “I proposed to you once already, and you accepted, so you’ve already been my wife for 16 years”

I feel like Norman would give Ray paper rings and Ray would think it’s just for fun but years later when they get married n shit Norman says he was being Fr but Ray never said anything (ray proposed when they got married.)

everytime Gilda comes home from work and Don is already home,he comes up and hugs her n picks her up and starts like pampering her especially if she’s stressed

Don is sometimes stressed and since he works at a dojo he works until his hands are bare, beaten and raw so when he comes home all beat up and injured, Gilda fusses over him, treats his wounds, makes him dinner n washes his hair <333

I feel like when Norman first came back from Lambda after they reached the human world, he wouldn’t sleep bec of the nightmares and Ray picked up on it form the eye bags and excessive amounts of coffee so he hugs Norman and hums until Norman falls asleep

When Norman first found out about Ray being a traitor, he definitely questioned everything including their relationship. So they argued and Norman thought ray didn’t love him and was only lying, but Ray genuinely loved him and was also trying to protect him, eventually Ray made it up to Norman n Norman believed him.

Since Gilda has semi long/short hair, sometimes her arms are so tired from sewing and designing so Don washes her hair for her <33

Gilda adores when don wears clothes she makes and he’s def her model for advertisements

Gilda will steal don’s hoodies on a really cold day since Don wears really thick hoodies

Phil is like don and Gilda’s kid he definitely calls them mom n dad

If don ever got jealous he’d definitely get a little aggressive and would apologize to Gilda after and give her gifts and run a warm bath for her

If Gilda gets jealous she handles it a bit more logically since she trusts him, but talks to him about it even if it’s embarrassing (she definitely cried at least once)

Don’s love languages are gifts and giving gifts but also words of affirmation, Gilda loves physical affection and gifts and words of affirmation but also acts of service

Norman can definitely get clingy on days and Ray finds it absolutely adorable BUTTT ray also gets clingy on some days but it’s a whole new level of clingy like- Norman will not be allowed to leave the bed and since Ray is physically stronger bec of Norman’s weak body and strength he has to coax Ray into letting him out the bed or ray will hug him from behind as Norman cooks breakfast and yes Norman is shorter

Bec of the height difference between Gilda and Don, Don can easily pick her up and carry her around so if she’s on her period and gets cramps or anything he’ll carry her around bridal style, get her a heating pad, heating blanket, chocolate and various snacks and put her in the bed with various soft pillows around and they’ll just cuddle and watch tv as he like rubs her stomach or wherever her cramps are

Ray is a raging bisexual !!

whenever Ray gets jealous he’s totally clingy and like very mean to whoever he’s jealous of but with Norman he’s just like there he doesn’t say anything so when he comes back home where they live (everyone) he’ll immediately go to Gilda’s room because him, don, and Gilda are definitely besties and are like super close so since he has long hair Gilda will style it and he’ll talk to them about it while they bully whoever he was jealous of 🫶 ( ofc he talks to Ray about it)

Phil is honestly so smart so whenever he fails a test (rare) he feels so bad n always cries thinking Norman and stuff will yell at him but then Gilda and don come and cooks him food, Emma comforts him, Norman helps him improve, Ray helps him improve, Isabella comforts him and helps cook too and everyone else helps cheer Phil up and they don’t yell at him for failing, they handle it correctly and help him improve and get better so he can do better next time

Norman’s love language is physical affection, words of affirmation and acts of service whilst Ray’s is physical affection, gifts, and acts of service!!

Ray loves calling Norman “snow white” and “snowflake” while Norman calls him “love” and “starlight” !!

Gilda calls don “hun” and “love” and don calls her “darling” and “my love”

Aroace Emma!!

smiles at you. how about some hcs for kira and the other dna bladers. they are all so silly to me <3

waaa the gang <3 I love them. These are all gonna be like post-canon, “all of dna live in an apartment together” focused bc that’s my favorite way to think about them.

I’ve been rereading some of my own fics recently and stumbled upon a line I forgot I wrote about Spike and Genjuro sometimes having to force Arrow to drink water because he usually exclusively drinks sugary drinks and I think that’s silly. I think the idea of arrow randomly being like “man I have a killer headache rn idk why :/“ and them going “well how much water have you been drinking?” And arrow being like “how much what have I huh now?” and them being wildly concerned is very funny.

Adding onto that, I think out of DNA, Spike and Genjuro are the best at taking care of themselves when they need to because the others have like zero sense of self preservation. I think that Karura surprisingly can also pretend to be a sensible human being sometimes as well. I love the idea of Karura having his own little mini spice and veggie garden and helping Spike and Genjuro cook sometimes <3

Dunno how much this is a hc so much as it just kinda implied but Arrow is super inspired by Kira and looks up to him a lot, not only just when it comes to beyblade but like, life as a whole. ESPECIALLY when it comes to fashion. He’s experimented a bit with eyeliner before (mostly just to fill out the gaps in his mask) but eventually wants to try getting into makeup more as a whole and he immediately asks Kira for advice with that. I like to think that the two end up really bonding over it and end up going shopping together a lot and Kira helps Arrow pick out outfits and stuff <3

Ok I cannot hold myself back rn I need to be a little bit angsty bc I think about this with post-canon dna way too much (a lot of these ideas have been sparked by our past conversations lol). I think despite the fact that they are trying to be better people and while I do think the general opinion of them comes around eventually, for a long while immediately after the events of shogun steel they are kinda still public enemies #1 and that makes life ROUGH for all of them for a while. They all have very different views and ways of dealing with that as well.

Kira, still upholding his role as leader, feels a certain level of responsibility and, by proxy, guilt about this. He feels a strong sense of duty towards dna to help guide and protect them from then on out, especially realizing that he hadn’t treated them particularly well in the past. He can’t help but partially blame himself for putting them in the position they are now and in his path for redemption, seeks not only to make it up to the main gang and public at large but dna as well. He feels really guilty when he sees them mistreated by others and feels a level of protectiveness over them. He really takes the idea that he needs to take care of them seriously and occasionally that means taking the fall for them or defending them from people who are being particularly assholeish.

Genjuro kinda wants to keep everyone under the radar while all this is happening and although they know he means well, none of the others are particularly fond of this and kind of end up butting heads with him a lot as a result. The main two especially with this are Baihu and Karura.

Karura tries not to argue with Genjuro much, but at Genjuro’s insistence that they should be trying to keep a low profile and thus not dress as flashy as they usually would, Karura is a little peeved. This strikes a particular nerve with him specifically for two reasons. 1. Karura’s a unique looking dude as a whole, and he finds it’s kinda hard to “keep a low profile” when you’ve got a blue mohawk and burn scars all over your face and body. and 2. His appearance is something he takes pride in. He’s not insecure by any means, and his style being as flashy as it is is an act of embracing his uniqueness in a way that suits him, so to have to change that is something that leaves him particularly disgruntled.

Baihu, by contrast, more directly takes opposition to Genjuro and the two get into a lot of fights because of it. Baihu is used to using trickery, mischief, and brute force to gain traction in life and he takes no qualms in doing that not only to defend his name, but to just survive at times. He and Spike are the ones who are the most easily irritated by the way people look down on them and will frequently start fights with strangers over it, despite being told it’s not worth it. Baihu does not like to be held back and does not like letting people just walk all over them, but he’ll bite his tongue from time to time for the sake of the others. What he won’t do, however, is sit back and let his pack struggle under his watch. I think that along with struggling to be in public, it’s also really tough for them to find ways to support themselves and they tend to get turned away by a lot of businesses and tournaments, so it is hard for them to get by for a while. I think eventually, the wbba is informed of this and provides them support in this regard, but before then, all Baihu knows is that they need to eat. Genjuro does not like it when Baihu steals, but Baihu doesn’t care, because if no one else is gonna provide for them, he will, and it doesn’t matter to him by what means that comes by. (I have thought abt drawing a comic with this idea for AGES. Will I ever get around to it? only time will tell)

I also think they have an interesting time trying to get along with the main gang after everything that’s happened. Zyro is obviously the most forgiving, and since he and Kira very quickly become very close after they’ve bonded, he is more than ready to welcome the rest of DNA with open arms, and is very excited to let his friends properly get to know them. The others do not necessarily share the same kind of enthusiasm.

Maru, bless her soul, I think trusts Zyro’s judgment the most and is willing to give them another shot. She doesn’t necessarily look past all the things they’ve done, but she’s seen other people come around, especially due to Zyro’s influence, and so she trusts that they’ll be able to do the same. She ends up getting along well with Kira, Genjuro, and Arrow (cough cough for no reason in particular ahem ahem)

Shinobu is a little more apprehensive, as I think he’s one to hold grudges, but similarly to Maru, he trusts Zyro and is willing to move forward if he is. He’s definitely the most hesitant around Kira and Baihu (partially also Genjuro bc of the glass box battle but I think they’re more easily able to move on from that). Kira particularly is difficult for him to get along with just bc of everything that happened with him at multiple different points, but I think they end up having some very heartfelt conversations at some points about it and Kira communicates that he understands why Shinobu would still hold a grudge, but he really is trying to change and he hopes that him and the others will be able to prove that to him over time. And it does take time, but Shinobu understands that perspective and is willing to give them a shot.

Ren is hesitant at first, though for those she doesn’t have personal beef with, she’s able to forgive relatively quickly. The others though. oo boy. Her beef with Genjuro was settled with their rematch at the qualifier match attacks when she got the upper hand on him, so despite some slight animosity at first, they’re able to go to friendly rival status fairly quickly afterwards. Arrow and Spike however, she has NOT forgiven for what they did during the dna hq invasion and is not their biggest fan right off the bat. In the end, they decide to settle it like bladers do, and after a fair and even match with them (I think it’d be a duo battle with eight since he also has beef with them for the same reason (I’ll get to that too)) they’re able to understand each other a little more and settle their issues. It’s not immediate forgiveness, but it’s a start.

Kite and Eight are the biggest grudge holders of all time. It is very hard for them to move on. Kite has massive beef with Yoshio, not only because their rivalry was never properly settled, but bc he not only picked a fight with kite, but hurt eight and well and kite does NOT play when it comes to eight. He’s also not particularly fond of Baihu either but I think eventually he’s able to understand the more caring side of him and come to terms with him a little more. There’s the obvious route of his rivalry with Karura continuing as well but they don’t have any real animosity towards each other and it’s mostly just very silly and lighthearted. On eight’s end, he equally is not fond of Yoshio and also has a continued hatred towards Spike and Arrow, and anyone who eight hates Kite hates too. His and Ren’s battle with them helps it a bit, but Eight’s a stubborn little kid and doesn’t let that show for a long while still. He needs to get in what he thinks is their deserved amount of teasing and bullying before he can actually start to warm up to them. I think in the end, what ends up bringing them both around, is Kite connecting with Kira. I actually really love these two as a duo (it’s a shame that a lot of the stuff I’ve seen of them together online is from weirdos) and I think they really could have a genuine heart to heart, with Kira opening up about the responsibility he feels towards dna and kite connecting to that as an older brother. Again, kite cares about his brother more than anything, and protecting him and taking care of him is his biggest priority, so understanding that Kira feels a very similar duty towards the other members of dna, it humanizes them more in kite’s mind and he’s able to empathize with them more, and so he’s more willing to give them a chance afterwards. And since eight would follow kite to the ends of the earth, when kite starts to warm up to them a little more, eight starts to give them a chance as well.

OH MAN YOU KNOW WHAT I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT TJATS REALLY GETTING ME GOING RIGHT NOW. Kira talking to Tsubasa and the other adults.

There’s a certain kind of shame that makes his head hang and a certain degree of fear that he can’t quite place that makes him hesitate as he walks inside the wbba building with Zyro. His gut twists when they go up the elevator and his heart drops when Zyro tells him that that’s as far as he’ll take him, and that Kira needs to talk to them on his own. He’s so used to having a degree of control over everything around him like he did with the garcias and like how he thought he did with doji, so going into an environment where he’s just a powerless teenager, it scares him. He would try to be intimidating but he knows that won’t work on them. His magic has no power in this realm.

The treatment he got from the garcias and doji when he was no longer their perfect little puppet leads him to prepare for the worst, especially considering these are people who have every reason to hate him and persecute him for everything he’s done to them, so he’s dumbfounded when they welcome him with open arms and warm smiles. It feels like a trap— there’s no way it’s not a trap, right? Trying to careen him into a false sense of security? But the longer they talk, the more opportunities to drop the ball they don’t take, and Kira realizes that they’re being genuine. It stabs him in the gut in a way he doesn’t understand. They take no hesitance in assuring that him and dna aren’t getting off 100% scott free, but their punishment is so… not grueling? It doesn’t even sound like a punishment when they say that they’ll have to do community service and take mentorship under Benkei, but that’s what they’ve settled on. And when they emphasize that they know that Kira and the others aren’t bad kids, and were just misguided and still deserving of a second chance, Kira doesn’t even realize that he’s crying until he feels the tears drip from his chin or that the stabbing feeling in his gut has intensified until he’s keeling over for a reason he doesn’t understand. He equally doesn’t understand why there’s a warm hand patting him on the shoulder and another two helping him to his feet. It’s a strange kind of feeling that he hasn’t felt before and he’s not quite sure what it means.

Random thoughts at 12 am about Obey Me! Because why not

Continuing with the realms saga, I will now rant about Zori- The second realm, Realm of the Ze Schebrach, created by your boy Zu'an.

So, here we go, the second realm takes, a bit shorter than Celestial Realm, but eh, I'll maybe update it later on.

2. The Zori Realm

Starting with the actual meaning, Zori is sunrise or sunshine time. Or something. This is due to the fact that when Zu'an cut through the fabrics of the first realm, he managed to sneak out his fellow outcasts and himself into a place that did not have light nor space, or existence. It was just pure emptiness. To give a stronger meaning to their beings- celestials who were deemed unworthy of living, too weak and insignificant, but managed to defy The Creator(s)- they named the place Zori- the opposite of what it actually was. They believed that one's darkness could be someone's light bringing. (caugh caugh, not Lucifer being named the light bringer by Zu'an, no sir).

I mentioned in the previous post that Zu'an was viewed by the other Ze Schebrach as the strongest of them all... but why? Well, Zu'an was almost spared, he was almost put in the same class as the rest of the Namoch Extra, but because of his neverending feud with The Great Demon King (he was known as Mox back then), he was not admitted into the Namoch. "As we are weak, the last thing that we need is a dispute of such calamity within us! Do not take this chance away from us, Zu...." He *had* to leave, or else things would have been terrible for the other lower classes.

He was physically strong, wielding the Kesht Klee against the hunters and most importantly, having the wit, power, and courage to go against The Creator(s) directly. With just a few arrows and a couple of wrong swings that they had against him, Zu'an managed to wear down the Lahav sal Neshma and it shattered. This was a great opportunity for the outcasts to escape.

Zu'an first made sure that every single one of his fellow outcasts was safe before he could even think of saving himself. He tried and tried again to bring back the ones that had already fallen to the blade and The Creator(s) cruelty, but sometimes you just have to live with the idea that you can't protect anyone. And this... was going to bring him into tears every single night of his existence.

Ok, ok. They got away.... what happened in the now newly created realm? IT'S NOT A *RELAM*. Not entirely, actually. Yes, I call it that, but it is not considered a realm, and neither is the realm of purity. The reason is that they do not adhere to the rules set by the Creator(s), nor do they keep contact with the three main realms. (very few encounters, 2 at best were between the humans and people of these unconsidered realms, but that is it). To be honest, Ze Schebrach couldn't care less that they are not taken into consideration for the holy creation of new worlds. Everyone is just happy they escaped.

Rapidly, Zu'an concentrated all of his mana and power to create an entire city for his people; it was small and very old-fashioned looking, but warm and welcoming. It was "like a cold bandage on a burnt leg", as someone said early on. He was chosen as the ruler of this realm by the others and he kept everything together with his mana... but it was running low. Very low.

He needed a successor and some time later, Lucifer was born. Observing him from very far away, Zu'an saw in him his younger self (boy did this lead directly to the rebellion-).

As we know now, and as current databases state, Zu'an has long passed away and the entire city is kept alive by using fragments of the shattered Lahav sal Neshma, that Zu'an's lover managed to snatch in the battle by pure coincidence.

One day, this mana power from the blade is going to run out, especially since the blade is broken and what they have is only a few mare pieces. When this happens, the city will fall into an Abbys, the Ze Schebrach becoming what they had always been destined to become- stardust in the galaxy of emptiness, mare memories of a forgotten time.

Maybe someone can save them, but time is running out, and the mana is running out. Soon, not even shambles will remain from what Zu'an tried so desperately to protect.

[billy-jay-kisses-robots]

Realized I never actually did this sooooo fuck it. You already know who this is about.

1. Why do you like or dislike this character?

I adore his personality and appearance, ironically because they stand out. In a series full of giant robots that are designed to kick ass, he's a tiny, nerdy looking, soft-spoken dork with 0 combat abilities. No fancy car sky mode, can't fly, can't shoot lasers, he's just a dude. But despite that he tries his absolute best to be as helpful as possible with the abilities he does have as a therapist. Rung's dedication to doing the best he can is really inspiring to me. It's one thing to be a hero when you have all these crazy powers that make you strong, it's another to understand your limitations and push yourself beyond them in the name of doing the right thing.

Also he's a cutie-patootie.

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

Besides what I mentioned above? How much of a dork he is. Collecting and rebuilding model ships, being an avid reader, not knowing how to dance, it's just really endearing to me.

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?

His visual design in Lost Light vs More Than Meets The Eye.

4. If you could put this character in any other media, be it a book, a movie, anything, what would you put them in?

Earthspark. Plzplzplzplzplz

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

100 years by OR30. Specifically, I imagine that someone feeling about him the way the singer does about the song's subject is something Rung would really want. Not even romantically necessarily, just the idea of a person loving you and keeping you in their thoughts. Less of a "This is so me" situation as it is a "God I wish that were me" situation.

6. What's something you have in common with this character?

Ooooh boy. Loneliness, definitely. The idea that everything we do isn't enough. I'm not going to go one because this will just get depressing.

7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?

Any time someone draws or writes him having a positive interaction with another character makes me happy tbh.

8. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you despise?

A lot of people picture Rung as being elderly (by human terms. I mean, he's millions of years old). I always saw him as being early middle aged, late thirties to mid forties. I blame Lawrence for this.

9. Could you be roommates with this character?

Realistically, no. He might be short by Cybertronian standards but he's still too big for my house. If it was the other way around and I lived on the Lost Light asva human, still no, they probably don't have human life support equipment there.

If I was a Cybertronian or he was a human, though, then probably. Rung seems like a pretty neat guy that would do his share of the housework. Definitely wouldn't need to worry about him hosting crazy parties.

10. Could you be best friends with this character?

Yeah! He seems like he'd be fun to talk to. Not overly bombastic or energetic, but he's smart, has a dry sense of humor I vibe with, and a test listener. Rung's also a lot more adventurous than a lot of people realize, or at the very least down to doing new things. That's important to me in a friend, someone that I can take out to go exploring.

11. Would you date this character?

👉👈

But seriously, yes. He's so kind and caring, I personally find his (mtmte at least) design attractive, and I feel like he'd be ok with me being asexual and just up for cuddling.

12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?

I imagine Rung would really like dogs and cats, and would watch cute pet videos to relax.

13. What's an emoji, an emoticon and/or any symbol that reminds you of this character or you think the character would use a lot?

🤓 I don't think I need to explain myself here.

14. Assign a fashion aesthetic to this character.

Semi formal but cozy. Oh, and knitted sweaters.

15. What's your favorite ship for this character? (Doesn't matter if it's canon or not.)

Rung x Nightbeat is really cute, platonically or romantically.

16. What's your least favorite ship for this character?

Idk, I have seen many pairings for him I didn't like in the fandom. I guess some people might ship him with Froid, though. So that, I guess.

17. What's a ship for this character you don't hate but it's not your favorite that you're fine with?

I don't think Rung and Ultra Magnus would be very good together, especially because I headcanon Magnus as aromantic.

18. How about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?

Him and Nightbeat make for such a fun pairing even if just as friends. They both care about each other a lot, and I like how Nightbeat gets Rung out of his comfort zone.

19. How about a relationship they have in canon that you don't like?

Honestly, Rung's relationships with most of the cast is pretty good, though I wish they would have had him interact with them more.

20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?

Because I'm tired of saying Nightbeat, Skids, Fort Max, Nautica, Ratchet, Chromedome, Rewind, and Kup.

21. If you're a fic writer and have written for this character, what's your favorite thing to do when you're writing for this character? What's something you don't like?

I haven't written any fic of him... Yet.

22. If you're a fic reader, what's something you like in fics when it comes to ths character? Something you don't like?

Why can I not find a single Rung x Reader fic that isn't absurdly sexual?!

23. Favorite picture of this character?

Tough choice, but I think I'll go with

He just looks so cute and handsome here, idk

24. What other character from another fandom of yours that reminds you of them?

Weirdly enough, Speedwagon from Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Both characters who are ridiculously kind and are doing their absolute best to support their friends who are physically much more capable than them. Also both very smoochable.

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

I found it really funny that Transformers have therapists. After finishing MTMTE, I completely understand why they do.

26. FREEBIE QUESTION!!

Who do I think would be a good voice for Rung?

[motownfiction]

yellow

Sadie got a lot of time with just Elenore when she was a little girl. She was the first baby, the only baby, the one who changed them all forever. But just as Elenore changed things forever, so did Sadie’s children when they were born. So did the rest of the world. Lucy, Will, and Elenore moved away, and Sadie and Daniel stayed put. And some time after Sadie’s time with her elder goddaughter dwindled, she realized she barely had a chance to know her younger goddaughter, too.

Emma was born a few years after Lucy and Will moved to New York. She’s the only baby who wasn’t born in Michigan–at least, she was, before there was Veronica; before there was Cal. There was no question Sadie would be her godmother. But when Elenore was born, and everyone was seventeen, that meant something. It meant constant contact, involvement, and love. They were never more than a few blocks away from one another, and there was always some big to pick up Elenore when she faltered. There was always someone big to make her feel heard, to make her feel important.

With Emma, it’s always been different. There’s the New York thing, for one. But for another, Sadie’s own daughter was born around the same time. It was easy to be close to Elenore when it didn’t feel like anyone else was vying for attention. If Sadie tried the same thing with Emma–had the same relationship–Rosemary would certainly be jealous.

But today’s a little different. Lucy and Will are in town, and Emma stayed the night at Sadie and Daniel’s place to hang out with Rosemary. It’s such a good thing they get along as well as they do, Sadie thinks, even if they’re not best friends. But in typical Rosemary fashion, she’s sleeping in. And in typical Emma fashion, she’s awake, sitting on the couch, trying not to make any noise. She’s wearing a yellow-and-white striped dress, like a little doll.

Sadie walks into the living room and jumps backward.

“Holy shit, Emma,” she says. “Have you been sitting there a long time?”

Emma shrugs.

“It depends,” she says. “How long are eons?”

Sadie snorts and sits down beside her.

“Too long,” she says.

Emma smiles a little. She moves like she’s going to get up, but then, she stays put. Good.

“I like your dress,” Sadie says.

“Thank you.”

“Is yellow usually your color?”

Emma blushes and fiddles with the hem.

“No,” she says. “I … I mean, my mom said I looked good in the dress when I tried it on, and I wouldn’t have gotten it if I didn’t like it. But it’s not … if I had just … I’d normally pick something in black or blue.”

“I thought so. So, why yellow?”

Emma’s blush deepens.

“OK, so there’s this guy, and he’s going to be a sophomore this year,” she says. “We had a class together when he was in eighth grade, and I’ve just … I don’t know, it’s so weird, but I still like him. We still see each other sometimes. He lives in our building.”

Sadie’s eyes light up. This may be the first time she’s ever heard Emma talk about a boy. She’s never even overheard anything when she walks past Rosemary and Emma in the house. It’s great. It makes Lucy’s daughter seem … human. The very thing Lucy was always afraid to be.

“It’s not like I just stare at him, either,” Emma says, defending herself against accusations Sadie never would have levied. “We … we talk sometimes. He remembers me. I make fun of him for the music he likes. I mean, if the Simple Plan was to whine out of your nose, then I guess it’s OK that he can’t be perfect.”

She bites her lip, and it’s adorable. Lucy’s daughter, the one who’s so like her in every way but her smile, has a weakness. Sadie wishes she could have known. She wishes she could have done anything to know better.

“I see,” Sadie says. “And his favorite color is yellow?”

Emma nods.

“I’ve never met anyone whose favorite color is yellow before,” she says. “I mean, I thought it was one of the expendable colors. When you open up a pack of Starburst, you know? What’s the flavor you least want to have?”

“Orange.”

Emma rolls her eyes.

“Well, for me, it’s yellow.”

She kicks her legs out in front of her and stares at her striped socks.

“I’m not trying to just impress a boy,” she says. “It’s just … a side effect.”

Sadie nods.

“I get it,” she says. “I wore green eyeshadow because I wanted to see if it looked cool. It was a bonus that Daniel liked it.”

“You get me.”

Sadie chuckles. Is that true? Does she get Emma? For fuck’s sake, she hopes so.

“So,” Sadie says, “what’s this boy’s name?”

Emma turns in her deepest, reddest blush yet.

“I don’t want to tell you that part yet,” she says. “Even though you don’t know him, the fact that this is his name … it’s embarrassing.”

And without Emma saying a word, Sadie knows exactly what this boy’s name must be. She leans back on the couch and listens to Emma talk about all the things she goes through at school, all the worries she has about starting the ninth grade in September, all her thoughts about not being young for long enough. With every word, Sadie is more impressed than she was before. Why doesn’t she talk to Emma more often? Why doesn’t Emma call? Why doesn’t Sadie try to call her?

At that moment, she resolves to call Emma once a week from now until she doesn’t want to hear from her distant godmother again (if that ever happens, which it won’t).

It’s the right thing to do.

OK Y'ALL, JUST WENT TO SEE THE NEW GHOSTBUSTERS MOVIE, AND HERE ARE MY HONEST OPINIONS;

(Spoilers ahead!!)

Ok, so to be completely honest I don't really remember the start of the movie. I think the girl -Phoebe- from the last movie broke a building, the mayor from the classic movies got mad and she was put on the ghostbusting bench?? Also it's been 2 years or something because that Finn Wolfhard dude keeps saying he's 18?? But whatever, it starts getting really good when Finn finds Slimer in the attic. (Did I mention they live in the old fire station? Well they do, and Phoebe is getting them evicted, because of course she is.) They don't expand on Slimer being in the attic by the way. He's just.... There now, I guess. Also, Ray is in this movie. And he's running this shop with that podcast kid from the last movie (He's really just living in his basement.) And this awesome dude comes in, and he's a fire master but no one knows it yet. Anyway, he tries to sell Ray this orb that he thinks is haunted for $50, and Ray is all like "Ohh, let me do that wing thingy that tells me if it's haunted" and it's SUPER haunted. So Finn and his lesbian girlfriend hear about it from this British dude -(I HATE HIM HE CONTRIBUTED NOTHING BUT BEING ANNOYING.)- and Ray bought it of course. So that PENIS SUCKING DISAPPOINTMENT with a British accent starts OPENING HIS MOUTH and gets too cocky. Back to Phoebe, she discovered some emo blonde chick who's really good at chess. Butttttt, in Ghostbusters fashion, the one with glasses starts to get a little fruity. With a ghost. She's dead. And I guess Phoebe really liked her because she turns herself into a ghost for like 2 minutes. And, of course, she turns herself into a ghost RIGHT in front of the haunted orb. And wouldn't you know it, that wasn't a good idea. The millisecond she walks towards chess-emo, her eyes start glowing and shit. Just to be clear, not her human eyes, her ghost eyes, but her human body starts speaking in tongues. And then this grotesque, ugly, slimy, scare crow, SCP, bald piece of chalk looking demon walks out of some black smoke like Darth Vader. Like get back to the death star. And some timer goes off, and Finns lesbian girlfriend busts open the door with a backpack thing and my brother freezes it??? Like he freezes the distortion of particles??? But however, I didn't make the movie. But he gets bored or something and goes away. I would too to be honest. (NOTE: I just fell asleep writing this, it's like 11 for me and I gotta wake up at 4 😭) Back to the AWESOME fire master finds out from Ray that he's probably the fire master because British, Finn, and the lebanese girl go to his grandma's old sex dungeon (they say it's a container for the ball and that demon dude, but I know Grandma was getting freaky.) Anyway, the firemaster is bending some AWESOME fire when, conveniently, everyone is in the same place and the sky starts going dark with Darth Vaders edgy smoke. Also, there's some odd sub plot with the demon needing horns to be powerful, but they don't expand on that. So yada yada yada, they fight, bad guy=dead, good guy=living. But you came here for my opinions, didn't you? Well, here you go.

First off, Phoebes character. She had so many chances to grow, and the movie blew it. In many circumstances, she does something bad, like for example; cussing out the mayor, WHILE IN JAIL. They seemed to brush it off, while everyone in the movie forgot that she was 15 now. She needs real consequences, or she will grow to be undisciplined like her grandfather. I would honestly like to see that taken into account if there is ever another movie. She clearly already values and looks up to her grandfather even though he neglected his family, so maybe in the future she will start to grow more distant with her mother? Just a thought.

Second, this is kind of a short thought, but chess-emo reminds me of that girl from Wednesday. I think her name was Echidna?

Third, it seemed like all of the new characters, (and even some old ones), felt like MAJOR side characters. Even the main character felt insagnificant! We saw no bonding, no expanding on any characters, and no thinking about how the characters would live their lives outside of the main points of the movie, just purely thinking about how this character should react when this happens.

Fourth, the "Main Villain" felt inconsequential. We really saw nothing of what he could do, and that made him SO much less of a threat. In the last movie, that dog bitch at least TRIED world domination, but the ugly skinny demon from the new movie went straight for the firemaster.

Fifth, there were a lot of unnecessary characters, just there to give you enough nostalgia to give it a good rating in your Facebook circle. Slimer? Funny, but unnecessary, unlike how it ACTUALLY did something in the last movie. The baby marshmallow men? Also not needed, cute, but contributing nothing. This is not to mention the new people *Cough* British guy *Cough*.

Anywho, I don't know how to end this, so I leave you with a handful of confetti! Have fun, throw it on someone (or me) in the comments, or even another post!

Just imagine. In this series, Danny is a new King. But he has no idea what he’s doing. He has tried his best to drive off the GIW but there were too many. For every ghost he protected, another was captured. For every ghost he freed, he found the shattered remains of a core. It’s not like he can kill them either as that will only make the situation worse and drive more people to join the GIW. He has been duplicating himself all over the world but he cannot predict when a portal will open up. He can’t be everywhere at once and it’s running him ragged trying to. He can’t send anyone else to protect them either as all ghosts are affected by the GIW’s technology. As a halfa, he’s the only one resistant. He’s the only one who can help. That…or another non-ghost.

So Danny goes to the Justice league. And it’s the same old thing. They see this super powerful entity, capable of great destruction. Constantine warns them about the ghost king. Maybe even learning Pariah Dark was defeated so the new king must be extra powerful. The Justice league are wary, but here comes this teenager who begs them to help his people. (It’s basically a case study. Danny has the power to destroy the world if he wants to (as proven by Dan) but if he does, his people will die. He has all this power, but it’s useless in this situation.) Anyways, Constantine could warn the JL that this might be a trap so Danny does the only thing he can do in this situation. He puts himself at their mercy. He gets down on his knees and says that they can trap him in a summoning circle. Put blood blossom chains around him. Bind him with every spell, artifact, or magic they can think of. He won’t. Resist. Just please, please help his people.

And so when they find evidence that the GIW are real and actually doing harm to this entire race, it hits the Justice league really hard. Even harder when they find Jason.

When they free all the captives and take the facility down, they see this king, a so called powerful being, bound in chains, and crying in relief.

Thank the ancients they were ok.

And suddenly they realized exactly what this king did. He had put himself at their mercy for the chance to save his people. Everyone, especially Aquaman, have high respect for him despite his young appearance.

And then I can make it angstier. :)

Basically, all of these realm beings were tortured and clearly injured. So Danny tells the Justice league that he will take them back to his dimension to heal and so that their souls may finally Rest In Peace. Only…Batman looks at Jason. His son was back. He was back after all this time. He doesn’t want to let him go. He feels alive, yet he was with the other realm beings and they look human too at first glance. He was too afraid to check for a pulse. It was bad enough seeing the injuries lining his boy’s body. Bruce didn’t think he could take it if he felt for a pulse and there was nothing there. Maybe they had gotten the wrong person? (Bruce saw him die). Maybe Jason was normal? (His eyes were green. They were suppose to be blue.) Bruce didn’t want to lose his son again. Maybe the king was wrong? And Jason could stay here, with them?

Yet at the same time, Brice didn’t think he could fight for that. The king had literally bound himself in chains. It was clear his only priority was his people. If he said that Jason would have to return to the realms to heal…Bruce didn’t know what he’d do.

Danny is scanning his subjects, trying to see what needs to be healed and calming them down, assuring that they can trust the Justice league (ignore the chains. They’re a fashion statement). And then he locks eyes with a kid who looks a bit more ‘alive’ than the others.

Huh…he hasn’t seen a remnant in a long time.

When it eventually comes up what will happen to Jason, Batman and Nightwing are extremely tense. The chains and seals had already been removed from the king and his power practically oozed from his person. Yet when he came to Jason, he asked him what he wanted. Danny explained that unlike the others, Jason was a revnant. A special, case. He’s not exactly dead, but he’s not really alive anymore either. Jason has died and carried the touch of death in his soul. He is one of his subjects now. But technically, he can live in either the realms or the living world. So Danny does what he believes is best for the health (both physical and mental) of his subject. He tells Jason everything he knows about his choices and options. If Jason goes to the infinite realms, he will receive all the medical help he requires. He can make a place for himself in the afterlife and Danny will help him set up his lair. They can also transport any food of living stuff required for him. It is a chance to finally rest. He’s been through enough. However, should he choose to stay, Danny will still have to visit him often for checkups and to let his injuries heal. Some visits to the zone might be required if his healing isn’t progressing smoothly and they will need to check for any side effects from coming back to life (remnants can often be unstable) and bring over necessary Ectoplasm to make sure Jason was healthy. They can set up a new identity if he wishes, he bets the Justice league would help with that and if not, he knows a guy. And Danny will be with him every step of the way. And then….

He lets Jason choose…

Taking down a human organization was horrifyingly hard for the Justice League, but they were able to shut the system down. Deep inside the blinding white abyss, were cells, holding the ecto entities that the King of the Dead had begged their help to save.

Every cells held a being, that cowered away from the opening doors, flinched at gentle hands, whimpered at every movement. Slowly but surely they emptied the building, freeing those that were tortured.

At the end of the hallway of the wing Batman and Nightwing were assigned, had a heavy metal door. It had dents, both inward and outward, specks of blood all over it, as if Stephen King made his own interpretation of a a Pollock.

It was the only door that ruined the white aesthetic.

Batman slowly opened the door, Nightwing next to him, a hand grasped around one of his eskrima.

White light painted across the floor of the dark room as the door opened, illuminating the figure huddled in the corner, who looked like a boy. A boy with black hair that had a shock of white, in a tattered formal suit covered in dirt and blood.

The only sound was the clang of the stick falling out of Nightwing’s slack grasp, startling the being in the corner.

His eyes, that were more green than they should have been, that they haven’t seen in years, opened to stare at them.

“Little Wing?” Dick’s voice was barely a decibel above a breath.

“Jason,” Bruce’s voice was more firm than his eldest son’s, but if you knew the man well enough, you would be able to hear the waver in it.

“B-” the being started, before grasping for breath, “Bruce,” his voice was raw, like it wasn’t used to speaking. Tears followed the horrid voice, coming down like rivers.

Bruce rushed forward, dropping to his knees as he gathered his son in his arms. Jason’s head still fit perfectly under his chin, his hair still as soft as it was when he buried him, his hands clutching the bat suit as tightly as he did on Cathrine’s birthday.

Bruce’s senses was aware of Dick moving next to them, his arms joining in the reunion, but Bruce himself didn’t notice, to busy wrapped up around the cursed miracle in his arms.

His boy was alive.
