#i'm about to get a lot of hate for this one

[savanir]

A fight between Danny and Skulker within the ghost zone carried them to a section that Danny wasn't familiar with. It was near a floating island that was overgrown much like Skulker's that the two of them suddenly got ambushed by a third party.

The new ghost seemed more interested in fighting Skulker than Danny, and he didn't hesitate at all to pull out a green glowing serated knife and a matching gun. Their snarling and growling was like nothing Danny had heard before and the insults were also a lot more vicious than what Danny ever heard from Skulker.

It was clear to Danny that these two hated each other.

"Whatever!" Skulker twists mid aerial dodge into Danny's direction, "This isn't over whelp, I'll have your pelt next time!" Skulker shouts before promptly flying off.

The new ghost then approaches Danny, all the while sneering at Skulker's retreating form. Talking with the new guy is... uncomfortable, Danny has to carefully navigate the conversation because it seems like the slightest thing sets him off, aka the guy's masked eyes start glowing brighter and get this smokey effect, and the belt of bullet shells he's wearing over his shoulder catches fire.

But Danny learns that the ghost goes by Ravager and that he's the son of the greatest mercenary there is, was, will be (according to him of course).

Danny also learns that Ravager finds his close combat skills to be atrocious and offensive to look at, "your hand to hand is shit. No wonder you're dead," and the next thing he knows he gets dragged towards the floating chunk of land for an impromptu cqc lesson.

Ravager shows him various fighting skills at a cleared stretch of land nearby a half demolished building that looks like it might have been a T shaped tower at one point.

In fact the whole island has the look of a post apocalyptic city, overgrown ruins of buildings everywhere.

When Danny asks, Ravager tells him it suits him just fine like this and with a name like his Danny is inclined to believe him.

Ravager is disappointed that Danny is a hero and some parts of his personality remind him of his younger brother who he rather not think about at all, other parts of Danny remind him of Robin, who he really doesn't want to think about at all.

In the end though, curiosity gets the better of him and he asks Danny if he can take a look around, see if he can find a guy named Deathstroke (very reassuring name) and report back what he's doing nowadays.

Ravager is not happy with what Danny finds out for him.

"So there was this girl and she apparently also goes by Ravager so to be honest, I'm a little confused now"

"He Fucking replaced me!!?!" flames burst out around Ravager as he shoults.

Danny tries to placate, "... okay now, maybe it's more a passing on the torch kinda thing, keeping your memory alive or something?"

"Where is that portal you've talked about, I'm gonna fucking kill him," Yeah this guy is not listening.

"Now that seems like a rash and poorly thought out thing to do, maybe instead-"

But Ravager is done listening and instead he just yoinks Danny with him in his hunt for vengeance.

Meanwhile on the other side Rose is telling Dick and Jason about a spooky white haired meta kid that popped out of nowhere, asked her if she knew where Deathstroke is at and when she attacked him he deflected all her moves as if he'd done it a thousand times before.

I think you should do a little more research on the development of YIIK and it's developer :(

So here's the thing- YIIK and it's developers (just two brothers) have been the targets of nasty hate campaigns and misinformation since the launch of the original YIIK in 2019. Since the very beginning- it barely had a chance to live before people deeply mischaracterized things. People perpetuating rumors based on random things folks were saying on the internet, not fact checking anything. Can you imagine that? Working on a passion project for so long, only for people to dunk on it and lie? A game made by just two young people, trying to make art? A pretty substantial part of the targeted hate was because the game was calling out a certain type of guy -a privileged, entitled gamer drunk on nostalgia to put it the most simple- and so, people didn't like that the game was making them look in the mirror- many didn't even understand that. They didn't get it, so they attacked anything they could. A lot of the hate was spread by people who hadn't even played the game. They just took these posts and ran with them. They didn't bother to form their own opinions. A lot of the "rumors" are addressed in this interview. I recommend you read it! On the internet, it's incredibly easy to buy into misinformation for the sake of "justice". To feel like you're doing good for "warning others". But you really, really, have to take a second look at what you're spreading around, what you're repeating. At times it can be correct to spread warning, but other times can be extremely damaging and traumatizing. This is one of those cases. It's really really sad to be honest. Over the past couple of months I've gotten to know Andrew (one of the two devs), and he's great. I was genuinely so disgusted to hear what had taken place when they both put their game out there. It's sad and horrifying. In today's internet, dunking on things, calling them out, has become social currency in a way. I think we need to be really careful about that. It's up to us to stop misinformation. This is the last time I'm gonna comment on this 'controversy' I think.

Wanders in here trembling and shaking

The outlaws have crawled into my brain and I am not okay. I am so not okay. Got that on my for you last night, finished it this morning, and here we are hours later with brain rot i cannot cure orz

I beg, I'm sure not naming them may have been for a reason, but do they have names? I just. For my poor brain that is so unwell it needs names to just implode more over.

((btw amazing writing skills I'm on my hands and knees I plan on binging your content later once I have recovered))

Yandere Wild West Gang - Names

Oooh, this is such a fun question! I rarely give my characters names, not out of any major stylistic choice, but because I write a ton and coming up with names for all of them would get so confusing so fast. In this case though, I think their names tell us quite a lot about their lives and personalities.

I think the boss would have a name with a bit more weight to it. Still very cowboy, but a bit more formal. I'm thinking Rhett or Cassidy. It's got this hint of authority about it, y'know?

The gunslingers are flippant and arrogant. Young men who live fast and expect to die young. Their names reflect that - short, blunt, almost impersonal.

I see the green eyed gunslinger as Clay. And the dark skinned gunslinger as Cash. I don't think either one is a birth name. Clay and Cash are the kind of names you give when you drift into a town where the whiskey hits hard and the men hit harder. I like to think that's exactly what happened and the names just happened to stick.

The wrangler is Lakota so pulling what info I could from my research, I'd say the name he goes by is his honour name rather than his birth name. The name he earned for his deeds. Tahatan (ta-hat-tann) which means Hawk.

I can see the other outlaws mostly calling him Hawk or Tan. He likes it when you use his full name though. And maybe one day he'll tell you the story of how he got it.

The kid is definitely Boone. Don't ask me why, it just makes sense. It's the name I'd expect on a colt just growing into adulthood. Still nervous and wild. It could be the name of an outlaw or a ranch hand, and the only difference is whether you say it with kindness or with hate.

The second in command was tricky. Chinese names have changed a bit since the Cultural Revolution so I couldn't pull directly. I took inspiration from the very few Chinese railroad workers whose names we still have on record. His name is Li Dan, but everyone calls him Lee. He doesn't mind what you call him, but he has to admit that it does feel pretty special to hear you say his full name.

There ya go! I'm basing all this off vibes btw.  

[shitapril]

oscar was recently on a podcast where he did a segment describing drivers on the grid with one word. when he got to lance, however, he said "i don't have much to say about stroll honestly" and then proceeded to laugh with the host when he said "well that's an answer in itself" and that honestly didn't sit well with me.

it would be very easy to dismiss it as a comment that was said in passing, that is not meant to be taken seriously, but this isn't the first time he's said something incriminatory about lance, direct or indirect.

I do think he made that comment knowing full well that fans most of the time don't need any reason at all to hate on him, and his apparent indifference would go a long way. he's essentially getting the reaction he wants from fans without outright saying anything negative because he knows acting like he doesn't care will be enough for them to pounce on the prevalent narratives associated with lance.

i'm not a lance fan in any sense (or an oscar anti), and this is not an attempt at defending lance itself. on a purely objective level, this doesn't sit well with me. and this seems to be a trend off-late. drivers going on podcasts, or being very online, knowing full well how hawk-eyed their following is, and still choosing to do things that will stir them.

i talk about this a lot, but i think it's more and more relevant - both media coverage and drivers on the current grid, especially the newer ones, are fast losing their professionalism. even if there was a genuine reason to dislike lance, i don't think it's very nice to imply rude things about your coworker on air like that. especially so if it is a bid at making yourself look more relatable to your audience.

1. Hi I've been trying to find this fic where wwx went back in time to cloud recess and he freaks out in the middle of the class and ran out and jump off a cliff and he survived and the cloud recess helped him heal and be happy again. Thank you I'm advance ☺️@limaly26

2. Haven’t read one in a while, and I’m itmf hardcore angst. Looking for a fic that I read back in 2021~2022. It was post-canon where many still hated the Yiling Patriarch. Some of those people were able to kidnap wwx. They tortured and abused him for days before he was found half dead. Wwx was so injured that I’m pretty sure he even lost his sight for a bit and wouldn’t let anyone touch him after being found. I read it on AO3 and remember it was hurt/comfort (but there was a looooot of hurt before there was comfort). The author’s name was catchy and easy to remember (obviously not easy enough lol) and either the author or the title was like one word starting with a “v” or a “t” maybe? Idk. It was pretty popular, so I’m sure this one has been asked about before. @main-00

3. Hello!! I was looking for a specific fic that I can’t seem to find now, it’s a finished work, it’s about succubus!wei wuxian, or at least I remember it being about him but after looking under the tag I wonder if I missed it, the author didn’t tag it, or he was made to be a creature incredibly similar to a succubus? The plot is that wwx is half succubus who has been ‘tamed’ by lwj, this is just mentioned in the fic it actually begins with lwj being a professor at a school and wwx offers for him to be used as a demonstration for class to see if people can resist his magic, that’s basically the entire fic. Thank you for your help!

5. Hi! I'm looking for a fic I read a while ago. I tried looking under the WWX & LQR or the Good Uncle LQR tags on AO3 but can't find it.

It was a Cloud Recesses arc AU, and something made LQR have a change of heart about WWX (maybe morals, maybe time travel, idk). He talks with WWX about why he is acting out and starts teaching so WWX is actually challenged in class, which makes him thrive. A lot or all of the story was from LQR's pov.

I remember a specific part where LQR sees the guest disciples practicing sword forms and realizes WWX is purposefully under performing. He is doing just a bit worse than JWY, to make JWY seem the most talented. LQR reprimands WWX because training improperly will lead to bad habits that endanger himself and others on nighthunts. WWX immediately improves his form. Later LQR discusses WWX's progress with the instructor and says he should spar with LWJ. The instructor thinks WWX has improved, but not that dramatically. But LQR knows they fought the first night of lectures. So LWJ and WWX have an epic spar where WWX stops holding back and goes all out in front of the class (possibly with LQR and LXC looking on from the sidelines).

I don't remember anything after that so it may be unfinished. Thanks so much!!

11. Hello mods!! Hope you're well ^^ I'm searching for two specific fic.

A) The first one was a time travel fic. The juniors were somehow time travelling into sunshot era (i don't remember much it's been a long time since i read that) and meeting yllz!wwx and lwj. I remember lz and wy getting suspicious of them and discussing things?? The juniors were staying with them for days trapped in time and trying to talk to them to get information?? I dont really remember much. At some point post-canon wwx was finding them and time travelling too. Thats all i remember.

B) For the second one i was 100% sure i had this fic bookmarked but i couldn't find it no matter what T.T It was a dragonji and foxxian fic and it kinda started with wy and lz meeting on a night hunt. They kept coming across each other in random night hunts. I remember lz getting hurt and having to stay in his dragon(noodleji lol) form and wy finding him, caring for him without knowing it's him. At some point wy was joining cloud recesses studies and lz was finding out wy was literally WY (in the earlier chapters lqr was mentioning wy to lz and warning him about wy) It was something like that. I REALLY HOPE IT CAN BE FOUND😭😭

Anyways as always thank you in advance!!😚😚😚 @for13years-i-play-inquiry-foryou

13. Hi, I'm looking for an Ao3 fic where Lan Zhan becomes a little boy because of an experiment by Wei Ying. He goes through growth spurts at night. First he's a boy of about 8 years old who doesn't leave Lan Quiren's side. At night he grows into a boy of 13, then about 17, then to the age when he received the lashes and Wei Ying stays by his side comforting him. The next growth spurt is after Wei Ying died and he wants to get him out of the Lan sect for fear that he will lose him again. When Lan Zhan returns to his normal age they do the gogogo because he's jealous that Wei Ying says that his 8 year old uo is adorable.

20. Hi hi! There's this fic I've been searching through my bookmarks for but I simply couldn't find it :((

The plot goes that everyone has achieved immortality, WWX, LWJ, NHS, NMJ, LXC, JYL, JC, and JZX. However, Jin Ling was born mortal despite immortal parents so WWX casted an array that transferred his immortality to Jin Ling and died in the process. NHS became a victim to the array due to JGY's machinations. WWX is then reincarnated and becomes A-Yuan's dad and grows up in an orphanage with NHS as his brother. Later on, there's a whole thing where LSZ, LJY and Ouyang Zizhen is on a field trip where a cave collapses on them ans they achieve immortality. The abovementioned immortals (other than WWX and NHS) kidnap the juniors to guide them through immortality but in doing so, forcefully separates WWX and LSZ. Jin Ling feels bad for them and helps them escape from the immortals. He meets WWX and realises that he's alive and reincarnated, that leads to everyone finding out that WWX has been reincarnated. Later on, they all get kidnapped by JGY and XY threatens to torture LSZ so WWX volunteers himself. There's a whole thing where NHS dies in his second life but that gives him back his memories of immortality, so he calls NMJ and they all plan to save them. At the end, JGY kills WWX with a gun but they are unaware that WWX is still alive and just got back his memories.

That's all I remember, sorry for the long message and thank you very much for your help!!!

[genderqueerpositivity]

I tried to write a post to celebrate being four years on testosterone yesterday. That post turned into a rambling mess of my fears for the future and fears about losing my access to gender affirming care. Which honestly makes a lot of sense given the state of things politically.

The anxiety is also due to the fact that my hysterectomy is in limbo now; my procedure should have been May 1st, but now my doctor is leaving the practice at the end of April. So now I don't know what's going to happen there, which is a little devastating after going through the whole referral and waiting and intake processes. I'm supposed to be referred to another doctor in the same practice, but it's been a month of radio silence now. Hell, I don't even know who to contact; last time I had to it ended up being a multi-day game of phone tag.

I don't know what to say other than I'm grateful and surprised to have made it so far in my hormone therapy journey. I'm incredibly lucky to have the support of beloved chosen family the entire way. And I'm so privileged to have ever accessed gender affirming care to begin with and I can't ever say enough for how much it has improved my mental health and my relationship with my own body.

I used to wonder everyday pre-T if hormone therapy was the right step for me. I thought about it all the time, constantly wondered what sort of changes I could have, and if it would help my dysphoria; I don't have to wonder anymore because I know that this is right for me.

At first I wanted to do topical HRT because I wanted that control of getting to choose this everyday; I imagined that I would reach a point where I might decide that I've transitioned "enough" and choose to stop. These days, I am happy with weekly injections. Getting to just do my shot once a week and then just live without worrying about it is amazing.

I am open to the possibility that I may still reach a point where I decide to reduce my T dose or stop entirely, but at the moment it feels very unlikely. Gender is personal and unique like that. I really hope to be able to continue and see what happens next.

It is difficult to express how transitioning to a more physically male appearance has given me greater freedom to express my gender in less binary ways, but it is true. I experience my gender as more queer and more fluid than ever.

I can't fully explain or express the pain of gender dysphoria and the joy of gender euphoria. How could I possibly get most average people without dysphoria to understand that I used to legitimately hate the sound of my own voice? That I couldn't stand having my voice recorded, because I sometimes even struggled to accept that the person I was speaking speak was actually me?

Now? I just sound like myself. I am more confident making phone calls and calling over the radios at work, I sing aloud in the car now, and occasionally I will speak to someone and get the surprise joy of being addressed as he or sir in return.

And that is just one example of many I could give.

Transitioning is as much a gift of big milestones as it is a gift of so many small and everyday moments.

On Saturday I will do my first shot since my 4 year T birthday, and I will be grateful and have no regrets.

I don't have the books anymore so I can't check the details but I had a massive Twilight phase and here's some interesting bits I remember relating to this:

Bella did not want to get married, at least not so young. The marriage was Edward's condition for him to turn her into a vampire.

Bella hated the idea that people were going to assume that she was pregnant and that's why she and Edward were getting married right out of high school

The description of the dress was modest with full sleeves and a high neckline but it had some extravagant details (lots of lace and pearl buttons down her back)

The wedding was not at a church, it was in the Cullen's back yard that was beautifully decorated to look like a fairytale garden (lots of flowers and nature vibes. I remember thinking the movie did a great job of capturing the book's description of the look)

One of Bella's friend's dad officiated, don't remember if he was a priest or not but I'm pretty sure he was chosen for his familial relationship rather than for religious reasons (I did check this cause I had it in my head that Edward's brother Emmett officiated but that felt off. Would have been funny tho)

They mostly kept the traditional vows but Edward requested they change the phrase "til death do us part" to "as long as we both shall live" cause you know, vampires

All their family and friends were invited and attended both the wedding and the reception. Jacob didn't attend the wedding but he did technically show up for the reception, where he and Bella talked and shared a dance in the woods out of everyone else's view.

During their talk Bella implies she intends to have sex with Edwards while still human, saying her wedding night will be as real as anyone else's. Jacob freaks out, saying that he'll kill her during it.

Honestly analyzing what I remember, I think Meyer gave Bella her dream wedding while working through some of her issues with what she was taught growing up centered around marriage and sex. Bella's hesitancy going into marriage so young, giving her a wedding very separate from religion surrounded by people who care about her, Bella's desire to have her wedding night as she is vs Jacob and Edward's fear of it hurting or even killing her in the process. With the context of what Mormon weddings are like I can easily see Bella's wedding being a product of everything Meyer wanted for herself but never got and the conflict surrounding the wedding night coming from her dreaming of her's while being shamed for having these desires yet being told it's her role and purpose as a woman

i am increasingly convinced that the wedding industry is having a statistically significant impact on young women leaving the mormon church. has anyone looked into this?

west coast finnick odair headcanons

finnick odair is definitely a west coast boy. maybe not cali born, but cali raised and a cali boy at heart.

finnick is a fabulous swimmer. he was definitely a high school swimmer turned casual swimmer-surfer

this boy would live in the ocean. you probably wouldn't be able to get him out even if you tried. he would pout like a puppy

"finn, it's getting late."

"but the sunset looks so pretty in the waves!!"

"it's getting cold."

"not if you stay in the water it's not."

would love the outdoors in general

hiking would probably be his main thing, but i could also see him biking too

insert cute hiking dates here!

would definitely have an instagram page just for his activities. pics of him surfing, hiking, sights he sees, he just can't help but stop and take a pretty picture

SANDALS. GALORE.

this man would have literally so many pairs of sandals. probably not flip flops since he would be so active, but he would definitely have a lot of sandals specifically birkenstocks, but also probably sketchers ones too

"finn, are you ready to go?"

"almost, just picking out my sandals!"

fifteen minutes later

"finn just pick the blue ones! you always pick them anyways."

marine biology major

living in cali, he would probably intern at an aquarium but not sea world. i think he would hate sea world for all their controversies

he would probably info dump about the sea and different sea creatures, especially if you were to encounter them in the wild

PROUD JEEP OWNER

he would have the nicest black jeep, always riding in the breeze, playing his music proudly

ice cream runs!

"babe! do you wanna stop and get ice cream?"

"uhm, duh."

everything in his life is coastal themed

no really. scented candles, hand soaps, cologne, decor, aesthetic

his walls are cream or blue, pillows white or blue, maaaybe if you lived with him he would throw some of your favorite colors in, too

bath and body works would hate to see finnick coming

he also would own probably around 5 tee shirts and just a few long sleeves and hoodies

its california he does not need it

however, early mornings and late nights can be cold, so i imagine him as a zip-up jacket wearer

he would definitely chew the tassles (or used to depending on if he could break the habit) and would looooove thumb holes

he'd also probably love you wearing his jackets more than he does

"are you cold?"

"no..?"

"you look cold."

"i promise i'm-- and you're taking off the jacket" **said with nothing but love

rosie would definitely be his dog in this universe too

i mean come on look at the picture above. you know finnick would be head over heels for that dog and would probably get her three different dog beds, a dozen toys, and several types of treats

probably clothes, too

i also feel like finnick would match his swim trunks to your bathing suit

pink? he doesn't care. flowers? hell yeah.

as long as he can look at someone and say, 'look! my girlfriend and i are matching!" it doesn't matter what pattern or color they are

he is a true, hardcore h2o and outer banks stan

HE WOULD TOTALLY MAKE YOU SEA JARS

also a very good seashell collector

he'd probably make you jewelry out of them through some diy youtube video

i feel the need to go on but this is becoming insanely too long please always remember me as west coast finnick girl okay bye for now! also this is so very inspired by @daisyjonesgf and one of her asks <3

[i-like-loserz]

So yesterday, I read the recent sub!San, gurl I was so tired all day and needed a break, so thank you for another amazing fic. Okay! I had an… interesting dream about San last night, but not San of Ateez. Choi San as the crown prince of South Korea 🙈 I shared a bit of the dream (honestly, I don’t even know why he was the Prince of South Korea, but it sounded okay cuz it's a dream lol). He was the most desirable, handsome, and kindest prince ever. There was a part where I'm his secret girlfriend, and I was like, ‘Oh cool,’ but also like, ‘How long has this been going on? How did we meet? WTF did I do to win the prince’s heart?!’ your gurl here needs more details and information! Hate that you remembering half of the dream!!! 😤)

Okay, back to the dream, we were at an airport… San held my hand as we walked toward the private plane, looking at me with loving eyes, feeling protective over me. (I’m guessing it's because I’m not Korean, and maybe k-netizens wouldn’t approve of their dear beloved Prince being with a non-Korean original girl 😶 It felt like I was walking into a den of lions) To the public, San was a gentleman with a strong aura but in private with me, he was like a little kitten, vulnerable and super clingy, yet possessive. San was feeling the heavy burden of being a prince and said he had to be ‘a man and an adult’ at all times. He was so smitten with me. He asked me to be patient with him, knowing full well the challenges of being with him. He was so grateful to have met me, saying he could be his true self with me. And he never stopped telling me how much he loved me with every beat of his heart. He feels calm and at peace with me like I'm his beautiful calm spring in his dark storm that came to him like a silver lining 😭😭😭 his words in my dream!!! 🫠

Here’s the spicy part! It’s a sub San 🤭 He’s deeply in love, deeper than the mariana trench. A whiny desperate hungry moaning mess man, and I'm his 'empress' 👁️👄👁️ shit what a dream 😶‍🌫️

PRINCE SAN??? pls im so jealous you get dreams like this 😭 this sounds so much like husband!san looking all intimidating and powerful in front of others, then immediately melting when you're together ☺️

also i'm not sure if you're referring to honey, baby!san or the newest ones -- drunk!san or sleepy!san -- but let's be honest, they're all cute and subby for reader so it doesn't matter! -- my response gets kinda steamy at the end...i can't help it

cw: 18+ pls, prince!san x secret gf!reader, sub!san, hickies, dry humping

i could just imagine the way he'd shower you in affection and gifts, then fly you across the world just to be alone with you (no cameras or prying eyes). he so wants to show you off as his and have you live with him, but the pressure is too much and he knows the backlash you'd receive just by being near him.

no one knows that you are the one taking those photos that are going viral because of how handsome he looks. that you convinced him to interact more with his loyal subjects and show them how down to earth he is. and that you are the reason why he feels a lot more secure and confident in public.

there's something about being his secret girlfriend that's kind of hot. kissing in the shadows or behind closed doors, and knowing that you shouldn't be doing it but you both can't help it. and san is particularly needy whenever he sees you because you're rarely able to meet in private, making every meeting desperate and hot.

even though you can't outwardly show it, you still make your mark in his life. of course, there are the literal marks that you suck into his skin -- from his neck, down his chest, and over his thighs (he whines about how risky you're being, but he secretly craves having the tender bruises as they're physical reminders of you) -- but there are other subtle ways you claim him.

to name a few, there are the matching bracelets you both wear, the cologne you chose for him, and the special shirts you buy that show off his chest...he's like your doll, an obedient man to dress up and accessorize as you please. and it pleases him just as much -- if not, more.

he wants to look good for you.

more than that, he wants to please you.

it's a fact that san is a sucker for praise. he'd probably cum in his pants just from humping your leg if you're petting his hair and cooing soft words at him (spoiler alert: he actually already has done that...he just doesn't want to talk about that time bc he's a shy baby).

the prince may receive praise from the whole country, but his eyes are only looking at you.

[bogleech]

She deactivated this account after I sent back a pretty long-winded thing, I don't know if she read it or not. She's obviously someone extremely troubled and maybe really young but that isn't an excuse for trying this hard to terrorize people. To ME it's kind of laughable trolling, but that's because I've been on the internet since the 90's, I'm a grown man, and tumblr already knows I'm not any of the things this person might make up about me. Other people who've gotten her gore, porn, threats and accusations in their inboxes have been small blogs with only a few followers, new users, users as young as 13, users with mental illness or traumatic experiences severely exacerbated by the things she was sending.

Imagine being some kid with an already rough life who's trying to form friendships on the limited outlet of social media when all the sudden this totally unknown stranger bombards your inbox with photographs of mutilated bodies and then messages every user in your notes to tell them you're a rapist or something, of course that's fucking scary for a lot of people. Shit, imagine someone who already had to remake their entire online presence to get away from some hardcore weirdo and now they get this shit. They'd have to fear it was all happening again or even that it's their past attacker who managed to hunt them down. It'd be nice if everyone she did this to could find this or other threads about and see that it was all just pointless, meaningless, impersonal spam but I've already heard that some users quit the site altogether because of this individual. I'm sure if she's still around she'll keep looking at this thread so I just have to say: if you're realizing or ever will realize that you went way, way, way too far here, it isn't too late to be better. Nobody knows your real actual identity as far as I know, so as much as you probably don't deserve to be, you are technically safer and more anonymous than a lot of people you went after.

You could just quit doing this stuff any moment, get some kind of help, and build a safer healthier life for yourself that doesn't revolve around rage towards internet strangers. I don't care what you say anybody did; even if they did those things, they don't warrant your shockingly, preposterously escalated reaction and they aren't worth the amount of time, energy and emotional labor it must take to do what you've been doing. A couple of your (former?) "friends" have weighed in distancing themselves from you, but they still also throw in how much they hate your original main target, and I can see that their blogs are devoted entirely to high school drama level gossip. These are not good people. These were likely never real friends. How often did they talk to you about things that make you happy, or things you find interesting? Did they mostly share thoughts with you about books or music or cool hobbies or even just casual trivia? Do you have favorite bands or favorite animals or favorite video games, and do those people bother to know or care what any of them are? Or was your average exchange more like "SHE said THIS about HER and should KILL HERSELF, the WHORE BITCH?" Because it really really looks like that's the most common kind of conversation you all have amongst one another, or at best, it's a kind of conversation you're just as likely to have as the last movie you watched. We all know that type. Speaking of movies, we even see it in a lot of media, and for very good reason, it's always a villain. If that's the dominant kind of socialism you've had, especially since your teens (or you're even still in them) then it must feel like that's just what "friends," do, that they get together and they vent and they gossip and they trash-talk, but that's genuinely not what friendship actually looks like at all and isn't what people can actually bond over in any mutually beneficial way. You should be sharing feelings about things because you find them cool and fun, shit that's special to you, not shit about people you despise or how to get some kind of revenge against them. Get a hobby, literally. Go get yourself into stamp collecting or gardening or comic books or fossils, find stuff that makes you feel good to talk about and people who like talking about those things with you. You've wasted enormous amounts of time now that you could have spent smiling about something cute and nice instead of searching google for crime scene photos or dogfucking as tumblr hatemail ammunition. I feel kind of cringe writing all this myself, like my cynical internet instincts are telling me this is an embarrassing degree of emotional investment to display in a situation that has so little to do with me - I literally only got two messages from this individual, two days ago - but my one little post about it opened up a rabbit hole I still can't wrap my head around. There are legendary Encyclopedia Dramatica horror tales that still aren't exactly as dumbfounding as this is. I've rarely seen anyone in the last 25 years do so much to try and negatively affect so many people for just so little of a reason. You really do not want that to be what you're primarily remembered for. And yes, the extremes it has evidently gone to, especially the type of pornographic material sent to some accounts and the relative ages of some targets, does in fact appear to have crossed the very few lines that can get the police or even FBI involved in an internet harassment case. Assuming you're as young as you seem, you not only don't want to be remembered for this kind of shit, but you don't want to lose possibly years of your one and only youth to criminal charges.

Heads up, a bunch of people today are getting spammed with the same copy/pasted message demanding that you participate in someone else's personal drama.

And the thing is whether you decline to join the crusade against a stranger based entirely on another stranger's word or you just quietly ignore this user, they will later send you photos of dead cats with their guts everywhere????

It'd take a lot more than splatterated animals to rattle me but heads up to those who need a heads up??? If it would severely affect you for this zany brain to send you photos like this you can DM me for the username to block.

Chapter 1. An enemy turned savior.

When you took this job in Seoul, you thought only about career opportunities. Good salary, prospects, an office in the city center. Everything seemed perfect... until you started looking for a place to live.

Finding an apartment in a good neighborhood with normal conditions and not a space price? A real quest. But you managed it. It had everything: a spacious kitchen, bright rooms, convenient transportation.

The only downside was your neighbor.

Jeon Jungkook.

The modern embodiment of chaos and narcissism.

He's loud, irritating, incredibly confident, and... absolutely unbearable.

Your quarrels are almost a tradition. He thinks he has the right to do whatever he wants, and you think he's an uncontrollable element that needs to be tamed.

You always knew that Jungkook was a walking problem, but today he outdid himself.

You came home exhausted. There was too much work to do, you could barely keep up with it all, but that wasn't what was draining you the most. The worst challenge was your boss, someone you would have avoided if you could.

He was twice your age, but that only seemed to fuel his interest. Kang Yongwon, the company's CEO, had always made you anxious and disgusted. He was tall, broad-shouldered, and had strong hands that he didn't hesitate to put on your shoulder or on your lower back. His thick black hair was always perfectly combed back, and his eyes were dark, piercing, and full of self-confidence. He smelled of expensive tobacco and heavy perfume that made you grit your teeth.

At first, he only dropped subtle hints. Compliments, too-long glances, imperceptible touches. But now he wasn't just allowing himself more-he was outright stalking you.

You tried to stay away from him as much as possible, hiding your dislike behind a tight smile, but he wouldn't let you rest. You could see his eyes watching your every move. Every conversation with him made you tense to the limit, and your skin burned after his touch, even if it was a light gesture on your shoulder.

You were afraid to say no to him outright. Yongwon was a proud and bossy man, and he had a lot of influence in the company. He could make your life a living hell if he wanted to.

The Friday of the company's seventh anniversary celebration was approac And you were sure that at this party he would try to get close to you. You would not be able to stand being around your annoying boss for long, neither mentally nor physically.

You had no choice. You had to find a way to get away from him.

That's why you were already in a bad mood when you came home today. All you wanted was some silence, a shower, and a quiet evening. But when you stepped out of the elevator, you were blasted with bass so loud that the walls vibrated.

It was like a nightclub.

And, of course, the culprit behind this mess was your "favorite" neighbor. You went into the apartment. You undressed as best you could, ignored the loud music and went to the shower. You took a shower. You had dinner, and the music in Jungkook's apartment never stopped playing. 

As you were finishing your dinner, you heard loud voices and realized that he wasn't just listening to music tonight, but it sounded like he was having a real party. 

You looked at the clock - it was almost midnight. By law, he should have at least turned down the music, but he didn't. Damn Jeon Jungkook! 

You lived on the top floor with the only other neighbor being this smug idiot. The other two apartments remained empty, which probably gave him a sense of permissiveness.

You couldn't take this arrogance anymore, so you grabbed the phone and called him.

"What?" his voice was drowned out by the music.

"Turn off the music right now!"

"What? I can't hear you!"

"JUNGKOOK!"

The answer was laughter and short beeps.

He had dropped it.

He. Had. Dropped it.

You went to his apartment with determination and, without hesitation, knocked so hard that it seemed like the door could fly off its hinges.

A few seconds later, he opened it, looking like he was having a so much fun.

"Oh, Y/N, it's you again. Did you come to complain?"

"Are you serious?" you could barely contain yourself. "What's going on in your head? This is an apartment building, not your private club!"

He leaned closer, leaning his elbow against the doorjamb.

"Calm down, doll. You need to have some fun."

"Fun?!" you took a deep breath. "I don't know how people put up with you. You're arrogant, selfish, and completely irresponsible! Do you ever think about anyone but yourself?!"

His smile disappeared. His eyes narrowed and his gaze became sharp.

"And you consider yourself better?"

"What...?"

"You always walk around with this Miss Right look, as if the world revolves around you. You don't even realize how insufferable you are."

You're staring at him.

"Insufferable? Says the man who has parties in the middle of the night?"

He smiled, but this time there was no mirth in his smile. He tilted his head slightly in your direction, forcing you to lean back. 

"Do you know what the strangest thing is?"

"What?" you growled.

"That even when you're angry, you're still so damn cute."

Your cheeks are flaming.

"Go to hell, Jungkook!"

You heard him laughing behind you. You turned on your heels and walked into your apartment, slammed the door.

Why does he have to be such an asshole?

You walked into your office, pausing for a few seconds at the door before taking a deep breath and walking to your desk. You've been feeling stressed out these past few days, and it wasn't because of your usual workload.

It was Kang Yongwon. Just thinking about him made your whole body tense.

You worked diligently, deep in your papers, trying not to think about the fact that he would soon appear. But when the first footsteps echoed down the hall, you immediately tensed up.

He didn't keep you waiting-tall, confident, with the same cold smile on his face. His eyes found you immediately. He walked to the center of the work office and made everyone pay attention to him. Yongwon paused, enjoying the fact that all eyes were on him. Then, in a calm but firm voice, he spoke:

"Attention. As you all know, this Friday our company celebrates its seventh anniversary. The corporate party will be held at the Imperial Seoul Hotel at 7:00 p.m." he stepped forward, slowly surveying the room. "You can come alone or with your partners, the choice is yours. But everyone is must be."

His gaze lingered on you a little longer than the others before he added.

"You are expected to look the part and behave with dignity. I hope we all have something to celebrate."

Yongwon smiled, but it was not warm. It was cold and calculating.

"Thank you for your attention. I'll see you on Friday."

He looked around the office once more, and then, satisfied with the effect, turned and left.

You were sitting with your coworkers in the cafeteria, trying to get your mind off your own thoughts, when one of the girls, Jisu, asked:

"Y/N, are you coming alone or with someone?"

You opened your mouth to answer, but suddenly you saw the silhouette of Youngwon. He was standing nearby and seemed to be listening to your conversation. Something clicked inside you.

"With a boyfriend," you answered loudly, deliberately pausing to make sure he heard. Youngwon smiled before moving closer. And you noticed it, too. When he started moving toward your table, you mentally cursed him. 

"Do you mind if I join you?" he said to you and your colleagues. He didn't even wait for an answer, he just plopped down on the empty chair next to you. You clenched your fingers into a fist.

"Did I happen to hear Y/N-shi say you were coming with a boyfriend?" he asked, looking at you with some special interest.

"Yes." you replied.

"How interesting." he nodded slowly. "You never mentioned that you were seeing anyone."

Your coworkers' girlfriends listened to your dialog in silence, and although no one dared to intervene, you could feel their wary eyes on you. Everyone could see that Yongwon cared about you, but this open interest in your personal life made them as tense as you were.

You smiled as naturally as possible:

"My boyfriend doesn't like too much attention, and neither do I. I just didn't have a chance to tell about him before." You said, hiding your excitement behind a smile and a slight bow. 

Yongwon didn't change his expression. On the contrary, something untoward flashed in his eyes. He didn't stop smiling, and he looked at his plate of food in irritation. 

"So, tomorrow, we'll finally be able to see what he's like," he said, looking up at you and putting a piece of avocado in his mouth. 

You instantly felt the tension. Youngwon didn't believe you.

"Yes, you have an able." you nodded, trying not to let your excitement show, "I'll bring him to the corporate party."

Yongwon smiled with satisfaction.

"That's great. It will be interesting to meet them. Well, enjoy your meal, ladies. I must leave you now."

He stood up and walked away, and you felt a sharp pain pierce your temples.

You couldn't bring yourself to look at the girls, who looked at each other in silence. They understood much more than you would have liked.

"What have I done?" - You lifted your hands and rubbed your temples, trying to gather your thoughts.

You came home late again, tired and irritated. You had a thousand and one thoughts in your head. How to get a boyfriend in one day? You couldn't.

You lay on the couch in the living room and scrolled through your Instagram feed, but the content was meaningless to you. Your mind was on a problem that was relevant to you right now. What to do? You might as well ask the first guy you see to pretend to be your boyfriend.

The almost inaudible sound of a combination lock reached your ears, and then the door of Jungkook's apartment slammed shut. And then it hit you.

Jungkook.

He can help you with this idea. He's really the one who can take such an adventure. 

But there was one problem... You've been ignoring him for a week.

Not a single greeting, not a single glance in his direction. You didn't want to see him after the last fight. But when you live in neighboring apartments with someone, you can't avoid it.

You did your best to pretend he didn't exist. He didn't seem to mind much, although you could feel his eyes on you every time you walked by.

But today the situation changed.

You were desperate, and you were going to ask Jungkook for help. And if you bring him to the corporate party, your boss will see that your "boyfriend" is not just a fiction, but also incredibly attractive, and maybe he will realize that you are not interested in his flirtations at all. And you'll finally be free of his annoying attention and be able to keep your job. 

So you find yourself standing in front of Jungkook's door, late at night, nervously clenching your fists. God, what a humiliation... you have to ask him for help. It seems easier to jump off Namsan Tower. But you don't have much of a choice: either Jungkook as your imaginary boyfriend or the endless courtship of your boss. 

You gathered your courage for a few seconds and then knocked.

A moment later, the door opened, and there he was. Jungkook was leaning on the door frame, naked to the waist, wearing gym shorts, with wet hair. Even at home, he looked obscenely good.

"Oh, what an honor." He tapped his fingers on the doorjamb, looking at you with that smile you hated.

"I..." you swallowed, "Jungkook, here's the thing... Could I ask you a small favor?" you asked, keeping your voice steady.

He tilted his head, pretending to think.

"Hmm, a favor? From me? From the guy you've been trying so hard not to notice?" Jungkook pretended to think, then smiled even wider. "Hmm... I guess not."

"Wait. I... umgh...?!" you mumbled. You felt your heart leap out of your chest. You expected him to say no, so you had to try more. 

"You've been ignoring me all week, and now you want to ask me for something? Where's the logic, Y/N?"

"Jungkook..." You were about to try to convince him again, but he interrupted you.

"But, you know, I'm interested to hear what you have to say. Tell me what you want, maybe I can do something for you," he said, sounding curious. You were terribly nervous. Your palms were sweating. 

"I need to... I have a request that is not quite simple..." you did not know how to say it. In your head, it didn't sound so absurd... "Could I ask you to pretend to be my boyfriend for a corporate event at work?"

He blinked. And then... laughed.

"Are you serious?" he asked through his laughter. You pursed your lips.

"Yes, I am." You answered barely audibly. 

Jungkook wiped the corners of his eyes as if laughter had moved him to tears, and then answered:

"No."

"What?"

"I said no." He answered firmly. You felt a wave of panic wash over you.

"Jungkook, please..."

"Oh, now it's 'please'?" He squinted. "Where's your 'go to hell, Jungkook'?"

You swallowed nervously.

"Why I should help you?"

"I have no one else to turn to..." you admitted.

"Give me one good reason why I should say yes."

"Please... Otherwise, I won't be left alone by my boss, who sticks to me like glue. And I know that once he sees how you are..." you trailed off, realizing that you had said too much.

Jungkook raised an eyebrow. A sly smile appeared on his lips.  You looked away, your cheeks turning slightly pink. 

"Fuck it." You whispered to yourself. "You know what I mean..."

"No. I don't know what you mean." Jungkook said, barely able to contain his laughter at how you couldn't admit to him that he was attractive.

"Attractive..." you barely managed to get the words out. His lips stretched into a slow, smug smile.

Jungkook was amused by your desperate look. Excitement flared inside him. He couldn't refuse you. He just liked to tease you. He also wanted to teach you a lesson.

"So you find me attractive? I thought so. Okay, I'm willing to help." Jungkook studied your face carefully. When you looked up at him, he smiled. "But only if you apologize."

"Apologize?"

"If you get down on your knees and apologize for your terrible behavior, I'll play the role of your boyfriend."

You froze. He was looking at you defiantly, arrogantly, insolently.

You clenched your fists. You hated this guy so much. But you hated your boss even more, and if this plan worked...

You closed your eyes, sighed, and after a moment's hesitation, knelt down in front of him. He followed your movements, standing taller. You looked directly into his eyes, showing your anger. 

"I'm sorry, Jungkook." You said quietly but angrily. His eyes glittered dangerously. 

"Louder!" he demanded. "And more politely, you're asking for my forgiveness, not passing judgment."

"Are you serious?" you protested, still kneeling in front of Jungkook.

"Did you really ask me to pretend to be your boyfriend?"

You sucked in a breath.

"I'm sorry, Jungkook," he said loudly and clearly this time. He ran his tongue along your lower lip, leaning closer to you.

"God, Y/N, you make my imagination go wild. You look so good on your knees."

You stood up sharply, but he grabbed your wrist, stopping you from leaving.

"You know, I would have refused... But you were begging too temptingly."

"Go to hell, Jungkook." You said, abruptly pulling your hand away. 

"The old song again?" He rubbed his chin, smiling, "But it's okay, I'm generous. We make a great couple, it'll be fun."

You rolled your eyes, trying not to show how much his self-confidence irritated you.

"So now you agree?" you grumbled, crossing your arms over your chest.

"I said I would. But we'll have to be convincing." His gaze swept down your body, assessing you.

You pressed your lips together, feeling irritation boiling up inside you at his cocky tone.

"I think I can handle it," you answered dryly, looking away. You honestly wanted to turn around and leave. Jungkook hummed, crossing his arms over his chest.

"We'll see. So when is this big show?" Jungkook asked. 

"Tomorrow night." you mumbled, looking anywhere but at him. 

"Tomorrow?" He raised an eyebrow. "You had seven whole days to ask me, but you decided to come crawling back now?"

"I didn't crawl!" you snapped back.

Jungkook smiled out of the corner of mouth.

"Yes, of course," his gaze slid down, reminding you that just a minute ago you were kneeling in front of him. You felt your face burning again.

"What time tomorrow?" Jungkook clarifies. 

"At seven in the evening."

"Okay, I'll come get you," he paused and then added, "But before that, we need to clarify something.."

You grimaced.

"Clarify?"

"Yes." He grabbed your hand and pulled you into his apartment. "If we want everyone to believe we're a couple, we need to look like one."

You tried to pull away, but he'd already locked the door behind you.

"Jungkook, what are you..."

"We'll work on making our story look believable. For example, how did we meet? How long have we been together? What cute things do we do for each other?" He pulled you to the couch, making you sink down on the soft cushions. You looked around awkwardly, feeling uncomfortable about being in his apartment. 

You had been here only once during your neighborhood, when he had forgotten his mail in the common hallway, and you, still being naive and kind, had brought it to him personally (in exchange for a cheeky smile and the phrase: "Maybe you'll make some more tea?"). 

His apartment was strikingly different from yours. It was spacious, decorated in a minimalist but expensive style - dark furniture, black countertops, built-in lamps that gently illuminated the interior. It was perfectly clean, without any unnecessary things, everything in its place. It didn't look like an ordinary tenant's home.

You suddenly wondered what Jungkook's job was.

He never mentioned a job, never looked exhausted or worried like most people, or like you who have to get up early and run to work. But at the same time, he lived in an apartment like this, wore branded clothes, and drove a car that probably cost as much as your three salaries combined.

Does he also rent this apartment? Or does he own it?

You remembered how, when you first moved in, he came out of the apartment next door and greeted you with words:

"Hello, neighbor. I hope you won't be as boring as the previous ones."

The naive version of you smiled and thought it was just a joke. Oh, how wrong you were.

You pursed your lips and frowned. What is wrong with you? Why are you even thinking about Jungkook? What do you care where he gets his money from? He's an asshole. Arrogant, smug, selfish...

An asshole who went along with your adventure.

You rolled your eyes. Okay, stop thinking about him.

"It's not that hard... You can think of something as you go along..." you muttered, but he ignored you.

"Let's start with the main thing." He abruptly dropped down next to you, throwing his arm over the back of the couch. The distance was between you, but it seemed too small to you. "What are you going to call me?"

"What?"

"My love? Baby? Oppa?"

You're choking on air. 

"I won't call you that!"

"What? Don't couples use cute nicknames?" He leaned in a little closer, stirring up a dangerous shiver in you.

You closed your lips, not wanting to indulge him.

"You choose one nickname and use in public. I think it's best if you call me 'love' for the best effect." He squinted slyly. "I have to call you something too..." He looked at you with fervor in his eyes. His hand reached for a to the lock of hair that falls on your face. You tried not to move away. You could hear your heart beating furiously against your chest. Why does he have this effect on you? 

"Jungkook, don't give me a nickna..." he didn't let you finish. 

"Oh, I already know," his eyes flashed with excitement, "You're going to be my kitten."

You coughed.

"God, ‘kitten’? Are you crazy?" you protested, your face twisted. 

"Oh, kitten, don't be so harsh," he said with a snuggle, enjoying your shock.

"I'm going to kill you."

"Well, then tomorrow everyone will know that you are single," he said casually, turning away from you. And then he got up and walked to the liquor bar in the corner of the room.

You watched as he casually pulled out a bottle of whiskey, poured some into a glass, and then turned to you, playfully raising an eyebrow.

"So, kitten, have you made up your mind? You will you go to that corporate party alone and enjoy the company of your boss? I can see that you're desperate, but seem like you to be incapable of negotiating..."

You pressed your lips together, trying not to react to that annoying "kitten" and all the other words he said. 

"Okay," you forced out, "but don't be silly."

Jungkook smiled and took a sip of whiskey, then came closer, stopping a step away from you, towering over you for the second time that night. You tilted your head to keep your eyes on him, as if trying to control the situation. But his attentive eyes said otherwise. He seemed to be the one in control. 

"No nonsense, kitten," his voice sounded dangerously soft, "but there are a few more conditions."

You raised your eyebrows, inhaling heavily. 

"What other conditions?"

"The first is kissing," he said, watching your reaction carefully.

"What?" You stared at him.

"Why," he shrugged, "you don't think everyone will believe in our 'love' if we don't kiss, do you?"

"We can just... I don't know, hold hands?"

Jungkook laughed and shook his head.

"It doesn't work that way, sweetie. I'll touch you whenever I want, wherever I want. And, of course, we'll kiss. A lot."

"I don't think it's necessary..."

"Oh, it's definitely necessary," he sat down again, this time much closer to you and looked defiantly into your eyes, "and you will agree. Because you need my help."

You put your hand to your face and shook your head, feeling indignation boiling up inside you.

"I feel like you are using me, and not me you," you said, laughing almost hysterically. Jungkook laughed too, leaning back on the couch. 

"I'm used to doing everything perfectly, so every detail has to be believable. But if you're not satisfied with something, you know where the door is." Jungkook said, keeping his tone indifferent. You turned your head sharply at him. 

"Oh, how generous," you mocked, crossing your arms over your chest, "You're offering me terms I can't refuse, and you're also hinting that I can leave?"

Jungkook lazily ran his finger along the edge of his glass and then looked up at you with a look of pure defiance.

"You know, kitten, I like you. You've got a sparkle in you."

"What am I supposed to do with that? Melt away with happiness?"

He smiled, setting the glass down on the table. 

"I think you could..."

"What's the second condition?" you asked irritably, trying ignore his playing attractive smile.

"The second condition..." He fell silent, deliberately stalling for time. "I'll decide what you wear."

You rounded your eyes. 

"Absolutely not. You won't tell me what to wear."

"Y/N you said yourself that you can't disagree, so I don't understand why you're protesting now. I'm not asking you to do anything, I'm telling you the conditions under which I will agree to work with you." Jungkook said this seriously, without a hint of joking. He seemed tired of your constant resistance. 

You clenched your teeth, trying not to show how much he was annoying you with his behavior.

"Gosh…okay," you stood up abruptly, "I'm leaving. Tomorrow at half past seven, I will wait for you."

He watched you, he took the glass from the table, hiding a smile behind the edge of the glass.

"Of course, love," he stretched the last word with a mockery. "I'll send you the dress tomorrow afternoon by courier."

You rolled your eyes a hundred time for this evening and walked to the door.

Fic Fairy Friday: Batfamily Shenanigans

This week's fic rec post is dedicated to the Batfamily just BEING a family. The snark, the annoying nagging, the overprotectiveness, etc. I feel like we don't get to see the Batfamily together and friendly nearly enough. Some of these would fit in the comics, some are more Wayne Family Adventures coded, and some are full on AU. Enjoy!

Code Bat by Listentothelittlebird

Summary:

Within Gotham, the Bats are a tight-knit group - family - that runs like clockwork. Outside of Gotham, none of their teammates know they’re related. This series explores the shenanigans that the Bats get up to, as well as how this distinction would affect canon.

Momo's Notes: This one is a series rather than a single fic and I love it so much. When Dick first decides he wants to break away from Batman's shadow Bruce agrees to keep their affiliation with each other secret, with one caveat. If either of them call a 'code bat' the other drops everything immediately and comes to help. As they add on to the family the secrets they're keeping from their non-Gotham friends and teammates piles up but it serves to keep the younger, less trained members of the family safe from the older heroes' enemies so they keep it going, each new family member agreeing to the Code Bat protocol when outside of Gotham, complete with entirely different hero names and costumes. It's interesting seeing a Justice League, Titans, Outsiders, Outlaws, and Young Justice that has no idea the Batfamily even a thing even as certain team members sometimes act super shifty when dealing with other teams or after getting a sudden, secret message.

I'm not a villain, I swear! by CoyoteFang1987

Summary:

Tim wakes up in a world in which Batman doesn't exist. And by consequence, the Robins never became heroes. Dick is a Talon, Jason is Red Hood (a villain), and Damian is a League of Assassins assassin. And Tim apparently is a hero called Draken, who, frankly, sucks at being a hero. And in this weird alternate reality, something big is brewing and Batman isn't here to keep the Justice League from tearing itself apart. Tim is really really done with everything. Dick, Jason, and Damian aren't helping. Tim really really hates magic as well.

Momo's Notes: Tim, Dick, Jason, and Damian all wake up in a world where Batman doesn't exist, Bruce Wayne might be the new Lex Luthor, and 3/4 of the Batfam appear to be villains working for various organizations. There's a lot of fun shenanigans going on in this one and all four brothers have good relationships with each other so we get to see them being effortlessly badass together. The Dick/Wally in this is also adorable.

You, Me, and the Humanity in Between by JUBE514

Summary:

Bruce doesn’t know what’s wrong with his child, but he’s pretty sure kids aren’t meant to work like this. From the day he had looked up into the tops of the circus tent and saw a frightened mirror image of a boy who had just experienced the worst day of his life, Bruce had instantly gone into emergency mode. The Gotham PD had wanted to pass the boy off into the care of the circus. The circus had mumbled underneath their breaths about superstitions, about not having a boy like that with them, about not being able to handle something like Dick. So GCPD, not knowing what to do, had started talking about one of the handful of overburdened boy homes that handles a majority of Gotham’s unlucky orphans. All the while, the camera lights flash bright and loud, wanting to know everything. Bruce couldn’t let that happen. Not then, not ever again.

Momo's Notes: This is one of the most unique cryptid AUs I think I've ever read. Bruce's only human child in this is Damian and the variety of magical creature the older 3 batbros are is really neat. The way their abilities and nature interact with each other is also really sweet. For anyone who's a sucker for good dad Bruce, this one is sure to make you happy.

Keep Losing Sleep by incogneat_oh

Summary:

“When’d you last sleep?” Jay asks, curious. “Eleven years ago,” Tim says, at the same time as Dick says, “Tuesday.”

Momo's Notes: In a family as traumatized as this, it makes sense that more than one of them would have trouble sleeping. This is super short but a lovely little glance into the family just being there for each other when sleep won't come.

Brightly Colored Adhesive Papers by LuminaStarCrest

Summary:

Tim liked to show people that he loves them by leaving around sticky notes. Or, 5 times Tim left sticky notes for others to find, and 1 time he found sticky notes that he didn’t write

Momo's Notes: Another one that's short but sweet! My favorite part in this is probably the pure sass between Tim and Jason but Tim doing his emotional support Robin thing and making Bruce get some damn sleep is a close second lol

Cannonball by SunnyBlue

Summary:

Why is it always Tim that disappears? If it was any of the rest of them, it would be a lot less concerning. It’s not like Tim can’t hold his own in a fight — he’s a Bat, after all — but the kid has a tendency to form the craziest plans out of all of them, which often ends up putting him in the craziest situations. When Tim goes missing, it usually means he’s in some deep shit, and Tim in deep shit means Jason scrambling every time. Without fail. This fucking kid. Tim is missing and his brothers track him down and bring him home. Also everybody loves each other and isn't so incredibly emotionally constipated because I just want them to be happy and because I'm the author and I said so.

Momo's Notes: I kinda love Jason's pov in friendly Batfam fics. This one is Jason and Dick terrified and furious as they rush to Tim's rescue with bonus points for the quick bit of Tim and Damian bonding the author added.

Loading and Aspect Ratio by JUBE514

Summary:

So, it didn’t start out like this. Alfred would scoff at the statement, about how Bruce was trying to justify the whole situation to himself. It had started out as a simple design, black everything with black outlines and black hood. It got a little more intense as the world went on, got wind of his ghost on the streets, and became scared of The Bat . So Bruce got a little more creative with it, Alfred and him had a good laugh over the name, the scare, and Alfred had a vicious streak of humor that he had passed onto his ward- So now the suit had a visible bat-theme, an insignia to drape in the shadows and to paint across the streets of Gotham. It only took a year into the whole charade of heroism for Bruce to overhear a conversation between some goons- some low level thug hired by the Riddler this week- about nothing at all pertaining to what the hell the Riddler was doing in the sewers but instead: “ The Batman can fly, you know, I’ve seen his wings.” -- A world where nobody has wings, but people think they do, and that changes everything.

Momo's Notes: This is another fun AU with lots of Batfamily bonding and badassery. Bruce makes his cape wing shaped to further scare the hell out of Gotham criminals but it's little baby Dickie, freshly adopted and traumatized, who convinces him to make them actual capable of flight. The Batfam never claimed to be metas but the rest of the world, especially the Justice League, decided that's what they were anyway. It came in clutch tho. The main pairing in this is SuperBat and they are freaking adorable.

The Waynes, Damsels in Distress by hitthedeck

Summary:

Roses are red, violets are blue, Bruce Wayne and his kids get kidnapped every other week. Some things are just universal, undeniable facts of life.Or, in which Bruce Wayne is still Batman and his kids are still Robins, but they keep letting themselves get kidnapped because they think it's funny.

Momo's Notes: People forget that Bruce Wayne raised Dick Grayson to be how he is and the two of them share the same warped sense of humor that let them shout puns while beating up criminals and put "Bat" in front of freaking EVERYTHING with a straight face. This fic is just the Batfam fucking with the JLA for their own sick amusement. I love them.

Here's a Reminder (That You Haven't Fallen Through the Cracks) by popsunner

Summary:

If it’s a salesperson, he’ll shove them a hundred dollar tip and tell them to go away, if it’s some religious do gooder, he’ll direct them to Metropolis. If it’s a Rogue, he’ll tell them he’s busy and to please get in the fucking line. If it’s one of his siblings-- “Hey, Tim!” Dick says brightly, forearm braced against the doorframe. Dammit.

Momo's Notes: Finally a fic that gives Cass and Duke some love! This is a short one where Tim's siblings drive him up the wall out of love and concern for their workaholic weirdo brother. The snark and sass is flowing freely and the JLA's best detective/spies are being about as subtle as a brick to the head lol.

To Rescue a Bat by Blueseabird2

Summary:

Batman gets into a situation during an alien invasion and could use a rescue. Unfortunately, Dick and Jason don't think the Justice League is up for the task. At all. So Dick lets the League know that he will be handling the situation and to expect Batman back by the end of the night. He even promises that he won't be going alone. No one should stand in the way of a Batfamily rescue, even if the Justice League doesn't know there's a Batfamily at all.

Momo's Notes: I love the closeness Dick and Jason share in this one. Jason and Dick are two older brothers who both struggle with the towering rage simmering just below the surface at all times and in this fic they've come to lean on each other for support. When most of the JLA's leadership is captured and the ransom video shows Bruce to be on borrowed time Dick decides it's time to let that anger loose a little and Jason is ready to back him up (with attitude of course, but still). With their fellow Batfamily members (both official and honorary) right beside them they decide it's the perfect time to reveal their affiliation with Batman to save their dad. Bruce is SO fucking proud.

Monolith by CharlesWaterloo

Summary:

Diana realised with a jolt that none of them had actually asked him how he knew Batman. And she was just as curious as the rest of them about the “we”. It implied Batman worked with more people. ‘How did you come to know Batman? Does he have any other friends?’ His mouth fell open, and he snorted, which evolved into full-out laughter. ‘I’m sorry. Oh my god - friends?’ Diana felt a little hurt on Batman’s behalf. ‘Are you not his friend?' He shook his head. ‘Did B really not say anything? I’m hurt. No, I’m not his friend. I’m his son.’ (An AU where the Justice League haven't met any of Bruce's kids.)

Momo's Notes: The Justice League isn't aware of Batman's identity or that he's a father. When Dick needs to sub in for Bruce at a JL meeting, though, and he realizes this? Cue the sibling shenanigans! Bonus points for Duke, Cass, and Steph getting some attention and praise in this one!

Batman/men? by Bumpkin

Summary:

Batman wasn’t a founding member of the Justice League, and isn’t known for playing well with other heroes. But he does end up joining, and he does try to get along while still keeping his secrets close. It’s a delicate balancing act. Then comes a mission that requires Batman to be the lynchpin for their success. Except there’s a problem with the execution of the plan, Batman would have to be in several places at once. He’s confident he can do it. The Justice League, for lack of any alternatives, can only go along and in the process learn more about their reclusive teammate.

Momo's Notes: Another fic that's short but fun where the Justice League isn't aware of the Batfam's existence and it's entirely in non-Batfam povs over the course of an important mission where Batman seemingly needs to be in several places at once and… succeeds? Easily?

Kinda curious to see Xeno with Senkus older sister. Senku could have admired her a lot when they were younger and before petrification and she's the reason why he is into science. So when Xeno meets Senkus older sister who could easily outsmart him in rocket science and other he would probably be shocked or impressed.

Nah cause I'm sure the three of them would have little science competitions just for fun

-------------------

Xeno x Senku's older sister!reader

-------------------

So you probably would have stayed in Ishigami village while your brother traveled and would get a later phone call from his group telling you that you could set sail out to America.

When you arrive your younger brother is there to greet you with all the new allies he made

One of them stands out, a pale American with an 'x' marked forehead; you lock eyes with him for a moment before focusing back on your brother and friends

Ryusui convinces Senku to throw a party at the arrival of your group (not that he needed much convincing), and finally, when the party preparations start, you get introduced to the elusive Doctor

Everyone gives you a watered-down version of what happened the original first few months they were here, and you can't help but chew a few of them out for what they let happen

You're a bit cold to Xeno the first few days while the party gets planned out, but you decide to be a bit nicer the day of the party as he looks pitiful with the current treatment you were giving him

"Stop pouting and talk rockets with me, doc."

"Gladly."

After you start talking to him, you both kinda go through your weird science need thing of analyzing each other to figure out the other

You conclude that Xeno looks adorable when pouting, and Senku hates watching his teacher fawn over his sister and has voiced his complaints plenty to you both (to Xeno's slight embarrassment and your delight at his torture)

You eventually have to talk to Senku about your dating Xeno, and at some point, some of the other colony members find out as well. Some make a little fuss, but your baby brother always comes to your aid.

You and Xeno start your little tradition of having science contests ( you always win, of course, but remember to kiss his pout away after you rub your victory into his face)

Senku still thinks that both of you are gross, especially when you flirt in your strange, jibing way. (You remind him of what goes on with him and Gen; He's quick to walk away when you do.)

Never about the looks

Anakin Skywalker x f!reader summary: Comforting your husband after you noticed he was struggling. includes: angst with a happy ending (really this time)

Ever since Anakin lost his arm, he's been different. It might look like didn't mind, like he was proud to sacrifice himself for The Republic, but deep down you knew it bothered him

At first, it started out with lingering looks in the mirror.

Then you would see him staring into his forearms when he thought you were asleep.

Then he would spend a lot of time fussing over it-making sure it was working, mentioning it casually through conversation, even making rather cruel jokes about it.

And the final straw. For a good three days Anakin refused to take his glove off unless he was showering, sleeping or checking up on the mechanics his bionic arm.

It was hard not to notice because it wasn't exactly a subtle change.

His past routine was simple: He'd come back from work ad immediately take the glove off whilst making jokes about it.

"I swear one of these days this thing will malfunction and mess up my combat skills"

"If he material keeps getting stuck in the screws I'll take this damn thing off myself."

He'll follow it up with a chuckle or a sincere laugh, letting you know he was being playfully.

But now? He was a whole different person.

No more jokes. No more tickling you with the cold metal. Nothing.

You barely even saw him without gloves or his Jedi robes on. Not only that, he was way less talkative too. Nothing past quick, seemingly meaningless kisses.

You were fed up with it. You noticed more than enough times to know what was going on, you just didn't know how to bring it up.

It wasn't even the lack of intimacy that bothered you, you just wanted you Ani back.

The one who couldn't wait to get home and kiss you senseless before doing anything else. The one who'd squish you while cuddling throughout the night.

You hated to admit it but it was taking a toll on you. On your relationship

One day you finally cracked and mustered up the courage to confront him.

You sat him down one evening, taking both of his hands in yours and asking the golden question.

"What's been bothering you Ani? Don't lie to me you know I notice."

At first he was closed off. Barely even looking at you.

Eventually, he warmed up. Admitting he was unhappy and frustrated. And finally, after at least 20 minutes of nothing he admit it, breaking down in tears.

"I can barely look myself in the mirror." He shook his head. "I can't stand myself like this."

You listened carefully, your silence urging him to continue as you wiped away his tears.

"I just..." He trails off. "I can't understand how you still love me. I mean just look at me, look at this" He gestures to his arm.

"You can't honestly wake up and think that I'm beautiful or handsome or whatever when this monstrosity is a part of me forever. I don't know how you even look at me sometimes. I don't understand it because I can barely look at myself." He takes a deep breath, trying to calm himself down.

"I can't help but feel like I'm not good enough for you, nor anyone else." He confesses, tears staining his cheeks yet again.

"And I don't want to blame you but..you always used to compliment my muscles and hold my hand. Now I just feel like you're repulsed by me. Like you don't want to be around me anymore. Like you don't find me attractive and like that was the one thing our entire relationship was based on.." He sniffles, letting out a shaky breath.

"Anakin.." You breathe out, squeezing his hands gently. "Baby, it was never about the looks." You assure him, pulling him closer and kissing the side of his head.

He sighs, resting his forehead against your shoulder.

"You say that, and deep down I know it's the truth, I just..my brain doesn't want to believe it." He mutters against your skin.

His arms tighten around you, and you can feel the way his breath shudders as he exhales. "But I don’t feel like me anymore," he admits, voice small.

You pull back just enough to cup his face, making him look at you. His eyes are red-rimmed, his expression filled with so much doubt it breaks your heart.

"You’re still you. You're still the man who drives me insane with his stubbornness, the man who makes me laugh when I’ve had a bad day, the man I fall in love with over and over again."

You bring his metal hand up to your lips, pressing a gentle kiss to the cool surface. "This doesn’t change you, Anakin. It doesn’t make you less. If anything, it shows how strong you are."

His eyes search yours, desperate, pleading. "I don’t feel strong," he admits, voice barely above a whisper.

"Then let me be strong for you," you say. "Let me remind you how much you mean to me. To everyone who loves you."

His jaw clenches, and he shakes his head. "You don’t get it," he mutters.

"It’s not just about the arm. It’s what it represents. Every time I look at it, I see my own failure. My own weakness." His voice is thick with emotion. "I should’ve been stronger. I should’ve been faster. Maybe then I wouldn’t have-" He stops, his breath catching.

You reach up, tucking a strand of his hair behind his ear. "You think this makes you weak?" you ask softly. "Anakin, you survived. You fought, and you lived. That isn’t weakness. That’s strength."

He lets out a bitter laugh. "Then why do I feel so useless?"

"Because you’re holding yourself to impossible standards," you say. "Because instead of letting yourself heal, you keep reopening the wound." You squeeze his hand, both flesh and metal.

"You push me away, you push everyone away, but I see you, Anakin. I see you struggling, and it kills me that you won’t let me help."

Anakin swallows hard, his breath shaky. "You should," he whispers. "You should see me differently."

"But I don’t," you say firmly. "I still see the man I love."

You lift his metal hand, pressing it to your chest so he can feel your heartbeat. "I still love you, Anakin. No matter what."

His eyes fill with tears as he looks at you, searching your face for any sign of doubt. When he finds none, something inside him cracks.

A sob escapes him before he can stop it, and he collapses into you, burying his face in your shoulder while sobbing.

And for the first time in a long while, he allows himself to believe you.

Alternative universe - canon divergence bagginshield

I cannot begin to explain to you how good of a fanfiction this is. In short words it's a series of what could've happened if Smaug never fell Erebor and how that would affect the history of Middle Earth. I've started it just as another bagginshield plot divergence, but oh boy I've never expected it to grow into something THAT BIG. I don't have enough words in my vocabulary (or wits in my head) to tell you how talented the author is!(Please if you know them on Tumblr please tag them!)

The story reads oh so close to feel like canon, and I caught myself more than once thinking "you've outdone Tolkien with this!", and I usually don't give out compliments like that easily. I've read A LOT of bagginshield, and I have a list of my favorites, which may or may not rival this one simply because they indulge me in romance and fluff of bagginshield, but this one is for those who yearn for the more real and logical spin of events. And those who want something that will feel like Tolkien himself wrote it but with bagginshield love that these boys deserved.

The first one of the series is "Clarity of Vision" where Bilbo meets Thorin, Balin and Dwalin, who are looking for a mistyrious elvish cure to a dragon sickness that looms over the line of Durin. And this one is the perfect adventure story that deviates greatly from "the hobbit" story line. A delicious slow burn -ish where you catch yourself nodding and agreeing with every choice that author makes for the character. You see them grow through the adventure while you follow them around west and north and Mahal knows where else. And that's one of the most delicious things throughout the series, we travel through new places that weren't shown in the movies (I assume there are more about these places in the books and parentheses)

The second (there is a smaller story in between tho) story "Clarity of Purpose" picks up some time later and makes Bilbo the ringbearer. I am afraid I cannot tell you much more, because otherwise I will spoil it for you, but we are introduced to a different fellowship with the most unexpected collection of free people of Middle Earth. I never would've thought I'd want to read about the adventures of these characters, but boy was I in for a ride!

If you want to read something that will leave you undone and done back again this one is for you! It will make you feel feels you never knew you've had. And every single character is so true to their original self too!!! This work is my heart's ease!

I've added my silly doodles, but I feel that after reading this masterpiece a few of my works will be inspired by the author.

BIG SPOILERS AHEAD!!!

For those who wonder yes it is a happy ending, and it is one of the most endearing endings that will make the life worth living.

The relationship between young Denethor and Theoden: 10/10

We get 2 new wizards!!!

Cats!

TREEWIVES

Dis and Arwen sisters in arms????

Thrain is a bitch

Never knew I could hate the one ring more than I hated it in the original (prepare to cry)

why are you still here?! Go read it already!!!

My favorite quotes:

"I'm not sure how to tell you this," Bilbo said.

"Yes?" grunted Thorin.

"I don't think your father approved of me." (Clarity of Vision)

“I am majestic no longer,” he said, “But merely Thorin Oakenshield, soon to be Thorin Baggins, if I understand the customs of the Shire.”

(Clarity of Purpose)

There are way to many quotes to post here, the whole work is too good to leave anything out.
