~~~~~~~~~~~~

Location: Nanda Parbat (10 hrs ahead)

Jason watches the words slowly form on his arm as he lays on his cot.

Milk Cereal Protein bars Those snacks Timmy likes

He snorts quietly to himself at the meager shopping list. He picks up a pen he keeps nearby and uncaps it.

How many times do I gotta tell you? You need to eat more than cereal and protein bars, D.

J i wasnt expecting u awake rn! ur usually asleep

Is that why you decided to use your arm as a substitute grocery list?

i figured id be long done shopping by the time u get up

why r u awake, anyway? isnt it like 2 whereever u r?

I can't sleep.

do u need 2 talk?

Jason smiles softly at his arm.

Nah, I'm good.

just remember im here if u need me. wat r soulmates 4, after all

What else, indeed.

See, when Jason was a kid, the idea of soulmates fascinated him. He was a hopeless romantic after all, of course the idea that someone out there was meant to be his made him swoon. Then, Jason became Robin, and then he died, and for the first time in his life he had hoped he didn't have a soulmate. He didn't want to get an innocent civilian caught up in everything he was.

Of course, fate had a different idea, and so on Jason's 18th birthday he found himself with writing all over his arms. And ever since then, the man on the other side has become a life-line for Jason, one of the few things keeping him going as he trains and kills and plots revenge with the LOA.

In the year since the connection was formed, Jason has learned a decent amount about his soulmate. His name starts with D, and he's older than Jason given the fact that the connection formed as soon as Jason was of age. D is cheery and positive, although he does have a bit of a temper if some of his rants are anything to go by. He also is shit at taking care of himself. Jason almost wants to assume he's a college student with how shitty the man eats and sleeps. D has a younger brother named Timmy who lives in a different city with their father, as well as a deceased brother he misses dearly.

Jason wonders when he'll finally meet his soulmate. Maybe, after he returns to Gotham and enacts his revenge on Bruce, he'll travel around in hope of finding the man. Maybe he'll finally be able to settle down after he's avenged, and live the life he always wanted before everything went to shit. And hopefully his soulmate will be right beside him when he does.

just remember im here if u need me. wat r soulmates 4, after all

Yeah, yeah. I know. I'm gonna sleep now. I'll talk to you when I get up

gn! <3

There's a moment of hesitation before Dick receives a reply back.

<3

Dick smiles fondly down at his arm. He probably looks like a fool, standing in the middle of the grocery isle grinning at his arm like a madman. But Dick doesn't care. Not when he's talking to his soulmate.

Dick almost gave up on having a soulmate when after five years he hadn't received any sight of a connection. And, well. Maybe it was for the better, he began to think. Dick lives a dangerous life. He's lost too many people because of it, and if Dick had a soulmate to lose he hadn't thought he'd be able to handle it. But then, seven years after Dick's eighteenth birthday, a connection finally formed.

**

Dick was having the worst day when it had happened. Of course he was, it was the day Jason would have turned eighteen. The boy had loved the idea of soulmates, had read all the classic stories about them. And his enthusiasm had been contagious, even if Dick had been waiting for his own at the time.

Dick didn't want to get out of bed that day. So he wasted away under the blankets instead. He thought about putting on a movie, but the only one coming to mind was one of Jason's favorites, and Dick couldn't bare the thought of watching it without the younger boy, even after all these years. And so he simply stayed curled up in a ball, fighting back the tears threatening to fall every five minutes.

Dick tried to distract himself by doodling on his arms with the pen on his nightstand. But even that soon took a depressing toll as his scribbles morphed into words. Words he wished he could say to the boy encompassing his thoughts.

my fault

sorry

i shouldve been there

i shouldve answered

fuck

im so sorry

Too busy wallowing in his self-hatred, Dick hadn't noticed a reply form on his arm at first.

Who is this?

When Dick finally noticed it, he froze. Realization crashed over him, and he couldn't stop the hysterical laughter escaping his throat. If anyone heard him, they probably would have thought he'd been hit with Joker gas.

Of all the days for a soulmate connection to form. Of all the days for his soulmate to turn eighteen.

ur soulmate apparently

There was a long pause, and Dick took the time to lean his head back and take deep breaths to calm his laughter.

Ok. Wasn't expecting this. No offense to you, but I had kinda been hoping I didn't have a soulmate.

Another wet laugh left Dick.

none taken ngl i had been hoping 4 the same

Well then, its a good thing if we're stuck with anyone it's each other.

Not that being stuck with you is a bad thing. I'm sure you're great.

ur fine lol im sure ur gr8 2

I change my mind. If you're gonna keep writing like that I'm going to regret ever being bonded with you.

Dick let out a more genuine laugh at that.

But, uh, real talk. Are you okay? That stuff you wrote before was kind of worrying.

yeah just a bad day my bro wouldve been 18 if he was alive

Shit. And me turning 18 today probably isn't helping.

actually i rly needed the distraction. i wouldve just cried in bed all day otherwise

Glad to be of assistance then. I'm J by the way.

hi J! im Dick

Dick's sadness was pushed to the back of his mind as he spent the next few hours talking and getting to know his new soulmate.

**

Dick's grown to like J in the year they've been talking. He's witty, with a dry humor that never fails to make Dick laugh. And he cares too. Always making sure Dick eats more than just cereal and protein bars. Which reminds him. Dick grabs some bread and lunch meat and puts them in his shopping cart as he continues making his way around the store. He adds them to the list on his arm, crossing them out so J knows he took his advice.

Milk Cereal Protein bars Those snacks Timmy likes Bread Lunch Meat (happy J?)

The check-mark Dick receives hours later sends a flutter through his chest.

~~~

Despite how crazy his life is, he's happy he has his soulmate. His escape. His reprieve from the loss and pain and hurt that follows him wherever he goes.

He can't wait till he finally meets him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

END NOTE: This fic is probably the most rushed of all my fics so far. I maaaay have procrastinated by making a plushy instead of working in this. But I really wanted to write for today's prompt because I am a sucker for soulmate AUs. I dont have any plans on continuing this, but if anyone else wants to, feel free. Just tag me so I can see!

My original idea for this prompt was much angstier. It was a "you only get your soulmate's name on you when your soulmate dies" au, where Dick makes it to Jason's funeral because he gets his name. (of course then jason comes back but shhhhh)

IDK if I'll have anything for tomorrow but I do for the day after. See you then.

If there's any errors, feel free to say in the comments. Or if you just want to talk.

Come talk to me elsewhere

AO3 Tumblr Twitter Bluesky

[trainsinanime]

I'm still considering whether I'll do any non-vague posting about this, but let me just say: Writing long and erudite posts about what you think is wrong with a French children's TV show does not absolve you from the accusation that you're doing… let's call it entry-level analysis. A post can be long and well-written and still just regurgitate the most basic, boring points, and some of them plainly wrong.

Actually maybe don't read this, it may be too salty itself.

"Adrien is sometimes too pushy", "Marinette is sometimes a stalker", "Alya is a bad friend because she's unwilling to bully a random new girl just because Marinette said so", yeah, yeah, we've heard it. More than once. Way more than once. Yes, even with receipts and quotes. Trust me, it's been discussed. These are the kind of standard hot takes of someone who is doing their first attempt at critical analysis, and I actually think on some level we should encourage that. I do believe fandom should be beginner-friendly in all regards.

But man, it can be annoying to read sometimes. Especially when someone uses these hot takes to justify the existence of salt fics. Let me be 100% clear here: Salt fics are not a reaction to flaws in the source material. Salt fics are materially different from fix-it fics. This becomes more clear when you track these patterns over fandoms, and in particular look at my favourite example over in Fairy Tail (sic).

That fandom has a number of fandom-specific plots, like some "angel of death sends main character back to relive the origins with the knowledge they had later" (also very popular in Harry Potter back in the day), but also one that is just 100% salt specific: It's about Lisanna, a childhood friend of the male lead Natsu, coming back from the alternate universe she was trapped in, and displacing Lucy, the female lead, who eventually leaves, sad and depressed, while nobody cares about her. The sentiments are all the same: Feeling depressed, feeling annoyed that your friends are suddenly interested in the new girl, feeling like you don't belong anymore, leaving your friend group to punish them and so on.

There are some differences as well. This whole thing was back in the days of Fanfiction.net, when crossovers were in a whole other section of the site and thus not easily findable, so the whole "…I'm going to run away to somewhere where people want me" never had the frankly hilarious addition of "…and when I'm there I'm going to marry Batman!", which spawned a whole sub-fandom in ML (its fans tell me that it's not all salt; I haven't bothered to check).

But the most important difference: The inciting incident never happened in canon. People just thought it might. In canon, Lisanna did return from her alternate dimension… and then immediately became a forgotten background character. Lucy and Natsu remained just as in love as they always had been, which is to say, very much except they don't seem to notice it. Their relationship was never strained even for a moment.

And still people wrote these stories that are functionally salt fics, with the same storylines, same emotions, same beats. Because salt fics are not about fixing what is wrong with the show. If they were, they'd spend all their time discussing the terribly fucked-up metro map. Salt fics are about exploring feelings of loneliness, isolation, "why are you hanging out with here when I told you she sucks" and just pure spite, in a way that you don't really see outside of pop songs. That is the end goal. The characters and plots are just a way to get there, and they will get twisted as necessary.

This is critical for understanding and discussing the phenomenon of salt fics. Alya is not actually getting demonised because she acted a bit stupid in one episode where everybody but Marinette acted a bit stupid. It's incredibly weird to hear this argument, and then all the supporting quotes for it, in the same post, right underneath, are all:

Alya: Okay, but do you have any proof? Marinette (angrily): Arrghlwargl! No!

Like, come on. Alya is getting demonised because people really want to. Because it works for the kind of story. These stories assume that it's Alya's job to always support Marinette unconditionally, and that any deviation from that, no matter how minor, is a highest order betrayal. And then they go full Count of Monte Cristo on her.

(Well, not really, that could almost be fun. Nobody ever has Marinette imprisoned for fourteen years, get out with the help of a hypnotist monk, use a buried pirate treasure to buy an island, then manipulate a telegraph line to… It's all just torn notebooks and such. Boring.)

The idea that people hate Alya for mostly valid reasons is just plain wrong and shows that you've missed a huge part of what's happening in the fandom. You could use all the Alya hate as an entry point into analysing what her role is in the show, how people in the fandom perceive her role, how people in the salt dom perceive her role, how her role and her personality shift depending on the needs of an episode at the expense of a consistent character and so on. There is some great analysis in that direction out there already, but more wouldn't hurt. "Alya is a bad friend sometimes because of Chameleon" remains an uninteresting take no matter how well you word it, though.

And that's just Alya. Adrien hate, for example, is its entirely own field. In short: Yes, some characters in this fandom are over-hated. Try digging deeper next time.

Want to Suggest a Design For Me to Make?

You are welcome to send an ask for a design request! I won't respond (unless I have a question or want to do a poll to see if there's interest from others), but I look over and consider each one :3 No guarantees tho!

Please note that by suggesting a design, you're doing so without expecting anything in return (like money, etc) if I do sell something. If you'd like to be tagged if I do make that design, let me know!!

Depending on the nature of the design, I may sell it here or over at @grackleink-studio (my main business) !

Issues with Package/Product?

Please contact @ruinouslore !! I'll do everything within my power (and budget 🥲) to help you!

If your item or packaging comes damaged, pls let me know! Even though I can't do anything about the shipping process, I'm always trying to improve my packing to minimize damage as much as possible, so seeing pictures of damage helps me!!

Random Q&A!

Q: What do you use to make your keychains/pins? A: I use xTool D1 Pro Desktop Laser Engraver Cutting Machine and 3mm basswood, and of course clasps, jump rings, pin tacks, etc. I digital draw the design and upload a png into xTool’s design software, convert it into vector, and connect my machine to my computer, and engrave/cut!

Q: Do you do custom keychains/pins? Can I commission you to do an alterhuman/etc design? A: I do occasionally take custom orders! I’ll post about it on @grackleink-studio if I do. Unfortunately, I can’t do alterhuman themed (and some other stuff too) designs since I would have to make it in secret (as I do with current stock). I sadly can’t just make stuff whenever. I don’t want to make a client wait too long so I rather just not risk taking custom orders of that theme. Alternatively, you can send a request for a generic alterhuman design to my asks, and I may make it in my own time for public sale.

Q: Are you alterhuman/etc? A: Unsure! I resonate with some aspects of it but I prefer to be unlabeled. I do like to think of myself as a dog and/or a grackle if that counts. I started making alterhuman accessories by the suggestion of my alterhuman friend!

Part 2 - Final

You were walking around the park when a man approached you, he told you his name. San explained your life story. No one else knew what you went through, someone who you barely knew told you all this. He was a stranger who you met mere minutes ago. He even spoke of your plans for a secret marriage to your boyfriend Hongjoong. No one knew, not even Hongjoong's friends. He even spoke of how you met Hongjoong as a kid. You both were in kindergarten, he even spoke of how you and Hongjoong got engaged. You were frightened, yet you felt like you knew San.

"I'll prove that I'm right, I'll show you your future." San looked at you dead in the eye, as he spoke to you.

"I believe you." The words came out of your mouth without hesitation.

"Do you want to know more? I'm warning you, it's all very hard to deal with. Are you sure you would want to know more?" San asked you, as he was sure to speak to you in a secluded area.

"I should, there's a reason as to why I met you. I should have listened to you if by chance I met you in the future." You nodded, as you only spoke the confirmation that San needed.

"If I stand corrected, your parents are opposed to this marriage, they don't believe that Hongjoong should be the one you marry. Well, you marry him, but you're only miserable. You believe that you know all of him, you even trusted him. For proof, I'll leave a detail out of how we met and something else, if you see it then you'll know that you were meant to know. As a result of your marriage, you were condemned." San waited for your response to what he saw you go through.

"What if I make a different choice? Can you see that other path I would choose?" You waited for San to respond to your visibly shaking hands. You started questioning your love really meaning something to Hongjoong.

"I cannot see any other alternatives, I'm a time traveler, I can only see what you went through when I met you. I loved you then, even when you dismissed my opinions on Hongjoong. You said that I was only jealous of him. I never wanted to see you suffer. You never even invited your parents because they opposed it, it was wrong. I am only given a chance to time travel in this time for now to stop you." San sadly glanced at you. You didn't know why your heart was aching for San.

"I'm sorry." You got up to hug San even if it's for a mere moment. You forgot about Hongjoong at the moment.

"I created a time machine, so I'm here. You both married in my presence, we had already met at the time. You also won't be able to wake up until you see your future, it's an effect to seeing your future. Y/n, he even cheated on you before the wedding. That sick in the head dared to." San looked at you in the eye with tears threatening to fall out.

Hongjoong cheated on you, yet San was the most affected. He saw you go through that. You approached San and wiped his eyes.

"Don't, I'm still not over you." San sadly backed away from you. You didn't know how to respond. You couldn't find another way to break the silence.

"San, tell me more." You worried more and more about what situation you got yourself into.

"Y/n, he had a baby. You married him without knowing that he had a son with a woman. You found out and wanted to get divorced. Hongjoong refused to let you go, even when you applied for a divorce. He was controlling. He even had the kid and the woman living with you." San looked down in sadness.

"You one day had enough and decided to kill him for taking away your youth. You told him that you both wouldn't divorce if he came to the apartment building rooftop. Everyone was living in that apartment building, you pushed Hongjoong off the rooftop. You were taken to prison for First-degree murder. Even after his death, you were tormented. My advice for you now, follow him today at night to prove my point." He finally spoke about what he could tell you.

"Thank you, I wish I would've listened to you before. I also hope that I could meet you at this point of my life." You started crying because there was someone who truly cared. You were determined to take the bind off your eyes.

"In two days, at 9 am was the moment we met. I have to go now." San hugged you until he disappeared.

You finally took off to your place while taking a fresh breath of air. The day became sad after San left. You didn't want to believe what you were told, but you shouldn't be fooled any longer. You would finally know who was lying. Hours passed and you finally got in touch with your fiancee. He called you to make sure you were okay.

"By the way babe, my friends are coming over tonight, I can't go see you. I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you." Hongjoong apologized over the phone. He seemed nervous, and you were apprehensive.

"It's fine babe, see you tomorrow." You responded in the usual manner.

You decided to use an excuse to go to his place. There was still light in the sky for you to go observe him. You took your car and waited at a stop that was out of sight to watch Hongjoong. You grew bored, but you needed to know. Good thing you didn't confront Hongjoong without proof when he called you. You waited until it was nighttime. The night stars beamed, you wanted to shine bright like those stars. You hoped to meet San again, you didn't want him to dissipate from your life. Then all of a sudden, you found your answer. Hongjoong ran out of his place to come to get a woman who was as young as you both. You never even met her before. To take away any doubts, Hongjoong even ran to her arms and kissed her on the lips. He was holding hands with her. That was your cue, you got out of your car. You approached both of them from behind and tapped on Hongjoong's shoulder.

"What the fuck, are you doing Hongjoong?" You were now mad that you were betrayed.

"Were you stalking me? Y/n, you're a psycho!!!" Hongjoong screamed even in front of that woman.

"You're a psycho for wanting to marry me even while having an affair, I don't deserve this. Now here's your stupid ring!!!" You finally threw your engagement ring on the street.

"No, you're not doing this to me!!!" Hongjoong gripped onto your wrist so tight.

"I called the police, now let her go!!!" A man came to your rescue and led you out of the situation. You recognized him immediately, it was San. Times changed, you were supposed to meet him in two days. You guessed that events changed since you caught Hongjoong cheating.

"Are you okay? Did he hurt you?" This present time San was just as kind as future time San. You stared at San in awe, he was right.

"I'm okay, thank you." You thanked San and asked for his number just in case Hongjoong came by again.

You drove home and called your parents to apologize. If San was right about this, then it's only right to reconcile with your parents. Now all you needed to do was go to sleep. You snuggled on your bed and slept.

You had dreamt about that future life. You met San at the grocery store when you went to go buy cereal and he was in that same aisle. He helped you reach the cereal you wanted. You both started meeting more and more until he found out you were getting married. He even told you that was walking to his house at night and saw Hongjoong with another woman kissing. Just as you saw them when you confronted them in this time because you changed time, but you dismissed San even when he told you what he saw. You even said that he was jealous and never wanted you to be happy. That same moment, he confessed his love for you, and you told him that you didn't want his worthless love because you loved Hongjoong. You couldn't recognize yourself, you became a monster. You didn't believe San and that led you to your doom at that time. You also saw how San created the time machine and wanted to use it the day of your wedding, but it failed. You committed a crime and were thrown in prison, you would refuse to see San. You also saw every single detail that future time San told you. That was all you could see.

You finally woke up, two days later. It was 6 am when you realized that there would be another encounter. You got ready even if there was still time. You realized the true meaning of love, Hongjoong only made you suffer in the long run. You tried to make things the same to not alter too much. You still dressed in the time you did before when you had to go for groceries. You finally drove to the groceries and went inside and went in just a bit before 9 am. He only said you both saw each other at 9 am. You approached the cereal aisle at exactly 9 am and there he was. He was with another woman, you thought that you should just leave. Then all of a sudden, he called out to you.

"Excuse me, I saw you yesterday. Don't go." San called out to you. You stopped for a moment before turning around.

"Oh hi, thank you for yesterday." You nervously replied as you approached him.

"No worries, but meet my sister Ha Neul." He grinned ear to ear as he introduced his sister and looked at you. You forgot that he didn't tell you his name even when he gave you his number. He only said his name in the future time, but at present time San didn't even have your name.

"I'm Y/n, what's your name?" You grinned as well as you asked San. You forgot that he never told you his name at present time.

"Omg, I'm sorry I didn't tell you my name. My name is San." He was soon told by his sister that he should've introduced himself before. She is pretty just like him.

"I didn't call you because I lost your number. You didn't put a contact name and I accidentally saved it without having your name." You replied. It was indeed true, but you also had been asleep for 2 days. It was all a supernatural experience that you wouldn't forget.

"Y/n, do you have a boyfriend?" Ha Neul asked you and San whispered to his sister to not ask such things.

"No, I got out of a relationship with someone who I realized that I no longer loved because they were bad to me." Both San and Ha Neul apologized.

"I'm over it, San actually saved me. And I took pictures of my arms." You told both of them. You also explained to Ha Neul what happened yesterday.

"Well I have to go now, thank you both." You smiled and said your farewells to the siblings. They both waved and you noticed that San was blushing. It seems like his sister was teasing him about you from the way his sister was looking in your direction.

You decided that you weren't going to break San's heart. As soon as you walked out of the grocery store, you felt like a weight was taken off your shoulders. The sun was shining bright today and you had no regrets. You walked out and embraced the sun rays that blinded your sight at the moment. The fact that San loved you all throughout the future time was comforting, you only wished that you chose him instead of Hongjoong. He loved you enough to save you from your doom, he never intended to make you fall for him. He even respected your decision to not accept his feelings in the alternate future. You planned to change your future.

Everything you saw in the alternate future took place in a span of years, but you fell for San in a span of days. All you needed to do was make him fall for you, he must not love you at the moment. If nothing happens, then it's not meant to happen. You will always be grateful for San since he saved you in both worlds. You refused to go down without trying even once. San said that you hurt him, your heart must have ached for a reason. You must have realized your faults too late and only pushed San away. You refused to make the same mistakes, you were almost involved in a poisonous marriage. There were small details that changed like the first time you both met and you even met his sister when you didn't do so in your alternate future.

You walked to your car as you felt the trees rustle on the shade your car was parked on. You were afraid that San wouldn't love you in this life. If he has no meaning for a time machine, there probably won't be one in the life you changed. All throughout the drive home, you worried that the changes could make it impossible to be with San. It may seem ridiculous, but you were going to go to the end of your newfound love for San. After all, he made so many sacrifices for you and you only hurt him in your alternate future. You finally rolled down your car windows because you felt overwhelmed already. The drive home felt like an eternity, then you noticed that it seemed like you would be getting new neighbors. The moving trucks were parked in the next-door neighbor's driveway.

You felt quite sad these days. You decided to just lounge around your house, you had nothing to do. You were laying down on your couch and were watching a series. Your doorbell rung, you don't have anyone to visit you which only makes you nervous. You look through the peephole and notice Ha Neul and San. Why are they here, could they be the new neighbors? You wondered if what you changed, had an effect on San's life.
