#idc what mushroom says

[lemonhemlock]

If Mushroom is to be trusted Aegon's cock has been burned off but he was able to feel sexual desire??? HOW💀 does he has a cockroach dick or something? Also who how why when mushroom saw Aegon's cock?? Like literally nobody in the book has ever talked about Aegon's cock beside mushroom 💀

listen

it still works, ok??

[dysiver]

what anons thought I was going to become when I said the word cuter

[livelaughlovesubs]

Last and certainly not least Tighnari

He gives off the same energy as an underpaid employee that's just done and he's valid because after the second time of treating someone over eating a random mushroom after you told them not to... Yeah I'd be pissed too.

He's such a cutie patootie heheh I just know he'd melt if you praised him. Please he works so hard and jfc how are people this dumb.

Obviously as his Dom you get a pass to pet his ears and tail, he might start making little yips/purr sounds (yes I'm aware fennec foxes don't purr but lemme be delulu).

I'm not saying that if you gently tug on his tail at the base of it when he's bottoming that he arches his back like a slut (affectionate) buttttt he definitely does and it makes him so damn needy.

If he's service topping and you try it, cutie will cum prematurely and gets so embarrassed about it, he's hiding his face against your neck and apologizing and like he's so cute. Just kiss and coo at him and he'll be ready for another round in no time. I recommend nipping at his ears, makes him weakkkkkkkk and riled up.

Since he wears clothes that cover a lot he's another contender for covering in hickies and love bites, he loves them and will subconsciously touch them throughout the day and smile to himself because he's thinking about you.

Like Kaveh he really gets off to making you feel good.

Ahhh I badly wanted tighnari when he first came out, now I finally have him. (Lost my c2 kazuha to him) Btw you seem to love the Sumer boys a lot don’t you?

I’m not sure about nari being a service top, maybe more a power bottom? Likes to put up a little resistance, but also loves being held gently and with care. I see him getting a bit embarrassed when you praise him too much, might say things like: you talk too much.

Even so he likes the compliments, I mean who doesn’t like being praised?

Sooo, I imagine him fading into the brat category, only a little though.

He mentioned how he doesn’t mind people touching his tail or ears, yet everyone thinks he doesn’t like it. So I can see you, being his lover, doing exactly that and everyone else just gasping. The Schockes expressions would be so funny. You’d think you just did something illegal, while nari shakes his head and sighs.

Idc what breed, if they are a hybrid I want to hear them purr or mewl 🙏🙏

I agree on the top part though!! Him cumming too early is so akdhajhsnksj, and then being even more pouty and ashamed about it heh. Also the base of his tail or ears is definitely sensitive, and he loves head pats, but that one’s a secret ;)

[creatively-cosmic]

i wanted to draw something different today soooo. i went n scrounged up a buncha pokepastas that ive read/pokepasta ocs ive seen around recently (mostly via mutuals)! ill tag creators and link sources under the cut, and ramble a little abt my thoughts... ^^

if anyone wants me to untag or remove their stuff from this btw let me know i didnt ask i kinda just. started doodling.

also half of yall i either never followed or only Just did i need 2 remedy that. ive been observing yalls stuff from a distance i keep forgetting to Press the Fucking Button is all

Your Friend Silver (Elias) by @uuberwachen ! this was such an INSANELYYY well written story and it stuck with me for DAYS. it really slots in the space in my mind that holds the classics and the twists and stuff with it genuinely got me. i cant recommend it enough if anyone who sees it hasnt read it yet. i got so excited when i saw a dedicated ask blog went up. i wish i werent scared of sending in questions to those things

Pixel Blue: 3DS VIRTUAL CONSOLE (2016) by @calybunz ! ahhh this was such a cool one to read! id see updates on it incidentally n i can tell a lot of work went into it- it was definitely worth it! its well written with a lot of heart.. maybe im just a sucker for stories that focus on a sympathetic blue.. the ending made me so SAD dude what the fuck. though my favorite parts were probably the dream sequences- godd the imagery of it all was fantastic!

Nuzlight (Mia) at @nuzlight-mia ! this is one i dont know much about yet, but her personality and design really captivated me when i first saw her! she seems like such a sweetheart and i look forward to getting to see more of her :3 i feel so bad for her situation.. the story n concept are all so interesting!

Missing Numbers (Green) at @themissingnumbers ... is our thing but green is hells (@hells1nfern0 ) dude that i have no sway in so. whatever. im unwell about him im excited for more to be revealed abt him :] i cant really say more than that since i know his secrets

FIRE RED FREE DOWNLOAD (Infected/Abandoned RED) by @aibouart ... another one i saw the design of first and was just IMMEDIATELY struck by. i love when stories twist in-universe things that're generally treated as normal and mundane and use its horror potential! a parasect parasite outbreak where the protagonist gets infected by that and ends up full of mushrooms...? thats the kinda shit i love to see >:)

Jack by @sparklingdemon ! cool ass design ive been wanting to draw and a cool concept to go with- the creepyblack protagonist as a grinning-reaper type where the ghost is an extension of him rules. i also loveee when designs utilize the fossil missingno stuff!! kabutops's arms lend themselves REALLY well to being a scythe

Glitchy Red: Retold by @lycankeyy / @glitchyred (idk which blog youd rather have tagged sorry). so i saw this when the official ao3 repost went up or got mentioned or something and it. really. resonated with me. like its hard to put my thoughts into coherent words, other than i had to just. Lay Down for the rest of the night after reading it and just feel whatever emotions struck me. it cut really deep but honestly- that's just fantastic. it's not often that i read something that makes me feel as viscerally as this rewrite did, and i have nothing but adoration for it because of that (we do have the plural bias which doesnt help regarding this lol). in my mind this is the definitive version of glitchy red.

Sanctuary AU (Aster) by @possiblyfunny . ANYWAYS ON A LIGHTER NOTE i fucking love aster more than i can put into words. given we get tagged in almost every piece of him that goes up its always such a delight to see and learn more about him! id been planning to draw him for months at this point but only just got around to it haha -v-" i look forward to seeing more abt the sanctuary au! please continue to tag me in those posts idc if it includes my guys or not i just care so much abt it

[chocolatestrawberrymilk]

could you do anemo boys hcs for your bday?

A/N: since there's five of them, i made each a bit short :( sorry, i hope that's ok! trying out formatting too hehe >:)

Characters: Heizou, Kazuha, Scara, Venti, Xiao

Warnings: None!

Heizou

In his birthday voiceline to the traveler, he mentions wanting to take them to some sort of locked room!

So I think he'd take you two to an escape room (do they have those in teyvat?...)

If you can solve the puzzles, he'd secretly find that really attractive.

Who am I kidding, "secretly"? He'd tell you about how cool you were the entire way home.

If you can't, he tries to drop subtle hints, enough to set you in the right direction but not enough to make you feel like you weren't doing anything.

When you finally got it he would be so proud!!!

He'd probably tease you for taking so long, tho

If you tell him to stop he will, but if you find it funny too, he won't stop with it until... well.... who knows, honestly.

He just wants the two of you to have fun :)))

Kazuha

ugh literally SO SWEET

DIABETES MATERIAL

Probably brings you breakfast, and does whatever tasks you have on the Alcor so you can sleep in longer!

Wakes you with a super sweet poem :)

His gift, honestly, is probably an entire notebook of poems written just for you!

When the Alcor gets docked and you guys get to go on land, he takes you to a bakery - in his voiceline with the traveler, he mentions wanting to get them cake for their birthday.

Makes you his specialty dish at the end of the day and you fall asleep together <3

Scaramouche/Wanderer

I know I keep mentioning their birthday voicelines but Scara's is literally so cute!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6fxFXU7w64&ab_channel=Michi <---This is it

So like in his voiceline he takes you somewhere pretty. Maybe he doesn't exactly know how to act or what to do on your birthday but if 500 years of existence doesn't give a puppet a catalogue of the most beautiful places in Teyvat I don't know what will.

Let's just say he takes you to Mawtimiya Forest!

Since it's in Sumeru he'd try to avoid Nahida, purely because he thought she'd embarrass him in typical older-sister/mother figure fashion.

She'd find you two anyways... she's the Goddess of Wisdom, after all!

Nahida would share some embarrassing stories of his hopeless pining while you three had a picnic on top of one of those weird blue mushroom thingies.

Eventually she'd leave you two to it, and you just decided to camp on said weird blue mushroom thingie and fall asleep under the stars!

Venti

Brings you to the Angel's Share!

Prepare for a nonstop onslaught of embarrassingly sappy ballads, especially when he gets drunk, lmao.

It's cute though, and most people come over at some point to wish you a happy birthday, whether you know them or not :p

If you somehow feed him enough food and water to get him back to a semi-sober state, at night, he'll take you up to the hands of the statue of him in front of the cathedral.

He'd somehow get EVEN SAPPIER, and now that he's regained some of his faculties, he's very poetic.

Idc HOW good you are at keeping your emotions hidden, he WILL make you blush at some point.

You two talk up there until you fall asleep and then he flies you back over to your house, leaving some dandelions in an empty vase in your room.

Xiao

Kind of like Scara, he takes you out to nature, but instead of there being a specific destination, the two of you just kinda go for a walk.

He's freaking out the entire time, because he's worried you're going to get hurt by his karmic debt.

In fact, you probably had to ask him to go on a walk with you, and he agreed only after he had cleared out the entire forest of hilichurls.

Catches some crystalflies for you, makes you some food using fresh ingredients, is overall really sweet (as much as he can be)… but you can tell that he's hiding something.

Eventually (guess what... I'm referencing the birthday lines again...) you ask him what's up and he finally shows you.

He made an adepti amulet to protect you, but was embarrassed to give it to you!

He tries to run away after that, so if you make him stay, you two can go into Liyue Harbor and get some food (something he hardly ever does, so you're special!)

Honestly, you keep him sane, so he's happy that he could give you at least one good day.

And that's it! Tysm for requesting! Future note tho I probably won't be doing requests with more than three or four characters, just so that I can make sure the writing is okay!

[amywritesthings]

hey hey! hope u dont mind being asked 👉👈 would astarion and tav from better strategy enjoy valentine's day?

i have never done this before on my blog but it's been a minute since we've visited the better strategy so rather than headcanon -- i can write up a drabble for you?

Pairing: Cleric!Tav x Astarion (in The Better Strategy universe) Summary: Tav celebrates Valentine's Day. Astarion does not. And when Tav gives Astarion a gift, he's not convinced it's special. Or free. Tags: Set in Act 1, Valentine's shenanigans (idc if the holiday doesn't exist in this world because it does in mine!), fluff, Astarion's pov, explicit language Notes: 1K word count / dividers by @saradika-graphics

"Dearest, this is a dead flower."

Between his ivory index finger and thumb lay a beautiful red rose, shed of its thorns -- how Tav managed to find one in this deserted clearing full of spidery weeds and wilting mushrooms is a mystery the vampire may never solve.

Then again, that woman could find just about anything beautiful in a sea of rot and decay. The longer he's spent wandering the shores and hilly plains of the sunlit world, the more convinced Astarion becomes that she is not a cleric but a witch.

A witch that bewitches, truly, because if it were anyone else? Say... Shadowheart? Gale? This flower would have been tossed over his shoulder and left to the insects.

Not that Astarion is upset with receiving a flower from the Selune cleric -- the contrary, he would find this strangely endearing --

If he hadn't seen her give bloody Wyll and Karlach something just an hour or two ago when he'd appeared busy, nose in a book.

(He wasn't reading a fucking word.)

So much for that flutter of feeling special, like he's finally gotten somewhere with this woman in his not-so grand scheme.

"I don't need a participation weed," he adds in a sickeningly sweet voice as he holds the flower back to her. "If you plucked apart a bouquet to give to all of us so that we are more inclined to visit that Githyanki Creche you've yammered on about for the last few days, then I cannot--"

"It isn't!" Tav interrupts in a squeak, effectively quieting his dramatics. She holds her fists, one hand over the other, to her chest.

He can practically smell the eagerness rolling off of her in waves.

"It... well, it's a gift," she explains. "Not a bribe."

"A gift," he repeats.

"Yes. For Valentine's Day."

"Valentine's Day?" he repeats again, unconvinced.

The half-elf smiles small. "A small festivity my people celebrate. Typically met with gifts, particularly food. We're running out of rations, though, so I thought it ill of me to--"

"Gifts are meant to be special," Astarion interrupts with a clearing of his throat, narrowing his eyes.

"They are," Tav agrees softly, as if she sees nothing wrong with what she's done, and he scowls.

"So then how is it I am to find this flower special when I've watched you go about this camp offering gifts to everyone here?"

There.

He hopes she feels bad about it. Maybe he'll convince her that there are other things they can do if this holiday is so special -- something that requires merely stepping into his open tent, shutting the flap, and finally getting somewhere with this journey.

(He has yet to seal the deal, yet she provides him with gifts? Though they can't be that important -- everyone else received something from the young moon cleric, too.)

Yet Tav furrows her brow playfully, turning her chin over her shoulder. "You were watching me give gifts to others?"

As if he's been caught redhanded.

Wait.

"Well, yes -- I admit, there were other gifts." A-ha. Thwarted. "Admittedly they were quite disastrous. There's only so much I can find in the forest without something going awry. I found Karlach a ripe apple. Wyll, a quill I managed to dig off of a dead traveler."

Neither of those sound very lavish.

The vampire contorts his mouth in confusion.

"And what of Shadowheart? Gale? Lae'zel?"

"Gale... a frayed book from the goblin village," she continues. "Shadowheart, some bread, though she thought I poisoned it." The Selune versus Shar fight lives another day. "And... Lae'zel is tricky."

He knows Tav, at least enough to know that's polite-speak for Lae'zel wouldn't accept any gift that was not offered post-spar.

Which leaves... him.

With a rose.

A dead flower, yes, but it's beautiful and ripe.

"Why a flower?" Astarion asks, twirling it between his fingers. His voice is not as cutting as it was at the beginning of this conversation.

The vampire is simply curious.

He manages to glance up just in time to see how she squares her shoulders, chin lifted -- like she's embarrassed her explanation will leave him laughing in her face.

Yes, very curious.

"The color reminded me of you," Tav finally relinqushes, and Astarion cannot help but purse his lips.

"Red. Because of... blood." He tsks under his breath. "Darling, we must broad your horizons if your mere word associations arrive at colors--"

"And they're beautiful!" she adds in a rush.

The two stop for a moment to stare at one another -- Astarion, sat idly on his little cushioned chair, and Tav, holding her hands so tight to her chest she may lose circulation in her fingers.

"Roses can be quite dangerous if you don't handle them correctly. Delicately. Nicely. They're sought after by anyone who admires beauty, but no matter how many roses you see, they're always so... immaculate and breath-taking and beautiful. And so when I managed to find one that was live and well, I plucked it with my own knife and thought who better to give one to on this celebrated day than you."

Astarion can feel his throat tighten.

"And besides, roses are very sacred to the holiday, so I thought you should have it."

Sacred.

Breathtaking.

His crimson eyes study Tav's mortified face for a moment more, before tipping the petals towards his nose. The faint scent of the flower tickles his senses, and the vampire can't help but feel...

Gods, what is that feeling?

Appreciation?

No, something else. Something he doesn't quite have the word for yet.

"It is," he agrees slowly. "Beautiful."

Does Tav find him beautiful?

The cleric clears her throat and takes a step back. "If you wish to throw it away, then I will not protest. It is your gift, therefore you do as you wish with it."

When she turns on a heel to panic-run back to the fire, the vampire stands to his feet and disappears into his tent. With his back turned, he takes one more lingering inhale of the flower.

His gift.

Something he owns.

Something that is entirely his.

Beautiful.

(He'll find another way to thank her, some day.)

BOOK!Aegon=SHOW!Aegon? I don't think so.

(Long detailed explanation, so if you don't like what I wrote just block me, idc. Before you comment, read the whole thing because just scrolling past one line can make you misunderstand me or/and question my morals because I can see how most sentences can come across as me excusing Aegon's actions, so full context is needed. I am willing to interact with you, if you are willing to be respectful but any hate or demeaning comments will be removed and you blocked.)

We talk about it often, I know, but I don't care. I never went into much detail but since people wanna still try and tell us that it wasn't a stretch to make Aegon a rapist let me tell you exactly why it was.

The predatory behavior of Aegon in the books is no doubt there, "fondling and pinching maids that strayed within his reach". Told by a reliable source who was biased to Aegon even. Are those characteristic of someone who could rape you? Definitely. Was there a reliable claim of him raping someone? No. Both are totally bad, don't get me wrong, but to say that him being confirmed to have repeatedly touched maids inappropriately(w/o their consent) in the books is on the same level of show him forcefully penetrating them while they fight and beg him to stop and cry and what not. Both are bad, but not exactly the same. One is(imo as someone who has experienced both)far more demeaning, dehumanizing, and traumatizing(that's not to say that unwelcome touching doesn't result in any of those)

And when you ask some for a source claiming he raped someone in the books they answer with what mushroom said about the alleged twelve year old he had sex with...that isn't the same as the show version and let me tell you why:

First and foremost, this does not excuse any kind of rape whatsoever. I am not excusing what he did in the books, I am explaining why the claim where he let a 12 year old please him in the books(claimed by Mushroom, where Eustace then disputed the girl's status BUT not her age. So we can assume that the girl was actually 12) does not mean he should've been made to rape Dyana in the show.

Westeros is a medieval society and Westeros has no age of consent. Unlike our modern world where we have the moral understanding that 12 year olds CAN'T consent at all and in most if not all western countries(by my knowledge) they are also below the age of consent. We have rape and we also have a specified kind of rape called statutory rape. In Westeros, it's different however, they have no specified age of consent, which is one of the factors that already makes them morally grey to us modern viewers. While I am definitely weirded out by that, I also understand that expecting modern and our real life morals from characters that are from the ASOIAF verse, is unrealistic even if we can be disgusted by their actions and can admit they are wrong.

Now, Aegon, if his paramour really was twelve, it also mentioned she was well taken care of, so we can assume she gave her consent. Even if, for us modern viewers, we know that 12 year olds can't consent, for them it's different. They have no age of consent so for them it's not wrong, if the girl consents. They don't necessarily know the term statutory rape because for them it doesn't exist. For Aegon and even for the girl(unless she felt pressured into pleasuring Aegon, which there is no mention of)it was not rape(by their very dubious standards). Would Aegon force the girl to be intimate with him if she said no? We wouldn't know. They cannot fathom how wrong it is to sleep with girls that young, because quite frankly, there is no law that forbids them to and there was none before(I assume), unlike in our modern and real world where there are laws and studies that very much proof a twelve year old can't consent, so we know it's wrong(and it should be wrong for us, if not, seek help). But just because they don't have age of consent does not mean they don't have rape. They know that when someone cries, begs to stop, does not want to have sex with you, and tells you no, etc. that it is rape. They know that, they have no understanding of age of consent yet they understand what it means to rape someone.

So in the show, from what Dyana told us, she tried to stop him and begged him to stop, he attacked her from behind and whatnot, so that, even by Westerosi laws and their dubious standards, is rape. And Aegon would know that, he has in mind that Dyana does not want this and that he attacked her. You can guess he used lots of force to hold her. No matter how drunk, if you can hold someone down long enough to rape them like this(as show Aegon did with Dyana), then you are conscious enough to know what you are doing wrong.

And that's the difference in mindset between book Aegon and show Aegon, Book Aegon we know he did fondle and pinch maids without their consent but have no reliable claim of LITERAL rape, not by a reliable source at least, wether he would actually penetrate them by force will always be left unanswered. Show Aegon however knew he was raping someone and was doing so on purpose. Because even by their standards, what he did was wrong.

To use the scenario with the twelve year old paramour to kind of say it wasn't a stretch to make him a rapist as that somehow for you proves he did rape servants in the books is wrong. And I mean, if you're gonna use that to say that meant he was the rapist he was in the show, then would you have been fine if they made Daemon a full on rapist as well? He was known to be into deflowering maidens sex trafficked by Mysaria(maidens in brothel context are usually around 12, the same age as the paramour, or even younger) so that would mean he raped women as well, no? For me it's a no, I may hate Daemon but it would be hypocritical for me to say he raped anyone when I'm trying to explain to you how it was indeed a stretch to make Aegon do what he did in the show.

Daemon was not shown his book canon appetites, it was only once mentioned in S1 E1 but brushed over, but Aegon's character gets exaggerated and shows us one of his victims that did not exist in the books as his introduction before we even see him.

By no means am I defending Aegon's actions, or Daemon's(I don't even fw Daemon too much). Like I said, the reason I say all this is so people can understand why the show adding rape was such a big stretch for us and why Greens are so upset by it. After all, you now can't even talk about liking Aegon, not even in the books, without getting accused of supporting a rapist, it gets shoved down our throats every where we express interest(even on reddit in our own sub reddit when we have a discussion about Aegon or even us sympathizing with his character) and people are bullying real people over fictional shows. In turn we can't express our likings freely without fearing getting hate(that's not to say there are no crazy green fans). We can like a character without supporting certain actions and I certainly am not excusing them.

And I am not saying that just because someone doesn't know it's wrong that it's not wrong BTW.

If somehow you think this means I support rape, then I don't know what to tell you. I still have my morals intact, I just let Medieval characters be medieval characters, like, all I want is for Team Green fans and Team Black fans to get along honestly. And as a Team Greenie I want Team Black to understand that we are not by default misogynistic or support rape and want you to understand why we see it as so fucked up that they made Aegon a rapist, or at least I. I can't speak for all of Team Green.

[severevoiddragon]

I didn't know you were a dm, can I ask about your campaign? :00 /np

Yesyesyesyesyes you can!!!! I can't share too much behind the scenes (as much as I'd love to) BC Alien will most likely see this n Munts may see it too- Putting this under a cut purely BC this is so long bc ive ended up infodump sm-

So, it started w each character getting a letter from someone they know, an old friend for Hecate and Nivaira, and Izumi's half sibling, called Ammon. (All 3 letters were from Ammon just to be clear-) Ammon invited them to his house, as well as 3 others. Eventually, Ammon made it clear that she wanted the group (all 6) to locate an amulet, but that they couldnt SAY where it was bc. Evil can hear. BC you see, Ammon, who is a divination wizard/wild magic sorcerer had been studying the amulet, and got a dream that a great evil was looking for her and got scared. So ran away. The other 2 NPCs also left. There's a lot of plot holes but shhhh-

Anyway the party found the amulet, and the party discovered that Relania, one of the others summoned by Ammon, decided to try and take the amulet, resulting in a big battle which ended with Relania tied up and. Somehow escaping. She's still loose to this day.

The second adventure had the party meet a little girl called Ruby, and her mum. Ruby's mum was exhausted from lack of sleep so told Ruby to go to her granny's house in the woods (no this isn't a werewolf adventure). The party were asked to accompany Ruby, to ensure she got to her granny's safely. The party decided that because this nice little old lady lived in a SCARY part of the woods, she was evil. So stalked Ruby's granny, Winnie. They went down a whole rabbit hole of nettle/false nettle like plants n then decided Winnie was a night hag. And then Ruby's mum died. And so Hecate (the group's researcher), decided to see if there's any way of discovering if someone was killed by a night hag post death. There is! They just needed truesight. Noone had truesight. So, they put up a notice on the community board and hoped someone followed it.

Meanwhile, the Banducci Carnival was coming to town, and the group went to the carnival that night while waiting for the post to be found. While visiting Madame Banducci, the fortune teller (and owner of the carnival), Izumi got a lil. Hypnotised. Although he acted as normal until later :)

The next day, a cloaked figure with a kitsune mask appeared to use truesight as per the notice. They called themselves "Bob" and had an awful deep southern American Etomian (the name of the country "Bob" is from) accent. "Bob" did cast truesight on the body of Ruby's mum, and yeah, it was from a hag. And then "Bob" revealed herself to be Bella Banducci, daughter of Madame Banducci. Who then got Hypnotised!Izumi to steal the amulet for her, and give it to her. The rest of the party didn't notice.

The party went back to Winnie's house, to confront her, but. Ruby and Winnie were gone. They party then discovered how hags reproduce and then went "oh shi-" as they realised exactly what had happened.

Eventually, Hecate, who was in charge of the amulet, realised it was gone, and something happened that I don't remember and eventually Bella appeared like "heyyy I've got the amulet you idiots and I'm gonna sell it BC my mom wants me to but idc who to, so you guys give me 500gp and you can have it <3" the party managed to persuade Bella to join them (she hates the carnival), as they do a 500gp bounty (to retrieve an object)

THE CURRENT ADVENTURE!

The party follow the bounty to Sirraux', an expensive artifacts shop, ran by Monsieur Sirraux, a tiefling. It had the object the party needed to retrieve - a dwarf's magic pickaxe - buutt Sirraux didn't wanna give it up. In exchange, it asked the party to collect a sample of an interesting flora on an island far away. It got it's dwarf assistant to bring the party to the island. It was an island that Nivaira knew very well :). It was also infested with mushrooms. Currently they just got to Nivairas hometown, where all the people have been turned into evil myconids (evil mushroom ppl). Fun times!

There's also Eiwin Tamiel, an important NPC who hasn't been adventure relevant yet but will be! Just you wait for the Christmas special!!! He's a human cleric (???) and works in a small artifact / trinket shop. They're also definitely crushing on Ammon <3 Who is definitely not crushing on him back <3 I ship them sm- they write notes to each other in celestial and arghkejrjfkwf i cant share all the cute info bout them bc. Spoilers.

ANYWAY if you read all that well done, I'm impressed-

Now tell me bout your campaign :DDD

So does pandora and sometimes lily and they all gossip

Peter, Evan and lily are js a group of trans asexuals. No I will not explain

(I lied, I will explain a bit) "My ribs are bruised again" "same" "lol can't relate" "fuck you Evans" "ilyt rosier" (Peter, Evan, lily, Evan, lily)

Benji is his queer platonic partner :)

HE'S SO GOOD AT COOKING

LIKE EXTREMELY GOOD

Peter cooks for Remus when the full moon hits

And he cooks for james when he's feelings down

and he cooks for Sirius when he's having trouble in anyway w smth

Idc what u say all the marauders loved Peter and they were all equal

Peter would he such a gas lighter 😭😭

"Wdym? That's always been there. Your imagining things. "

Peter and reg are pretty good friends actually lol

"He was a death eater tho!!!" Ok and?

Peter would do that thing where if he's lying down and doing smth he'll always have one arm in the air. No one knows why he does this but their js used to it at this point

Anxiety is a bitch and Peter has it

Ppl thinks he's kinda slow sometimes but it's js cuz he needs to triple check everything and needs clear instructions bc he doesn't want to mess anything up

Would have so many pillows

He loves plants

And mushrooms

James, Marlene and him are all trans and they transitioned together

Painted nails>>>>>

He would have different themes for he's nails each time he painted them

The moon phases for Remus, Suns for james, constellations for Sirius and regulus, stars for Marlene, flowers for lily, and hearts for Mary (her name means beloved), roses for evan, snakes for barty, jewels for Dorcas, Ravens for Benji, and crystals n spirals for pandora

He also paints Evan's nails

He's always tapping little patterns on everything and sometimes he's friends will notice and try to tap the same pattern (it normally takes them a while to figure it out)

Fidgets a lot

Everyone thinks that Peter and Sirius are not as good as friends are they are w the rest of the marauders but in reality, Sirius and Peter will js playfully insult each other (nothing that will actually hurt but there are a lot of death threats<3) and laugh abt it later

"Oi, Pete, you look a lot like a rat!" "I will tear you limb from limb siri" "the feeling is mutual"

He would also love vines as a type of room decor

Okie that's all who should I do next??? Pandora or lily?? Or sm1 else???

[darklinaforever]

No, how dare you say that team green supports a rapist?

That is not true, Team green is always on the right 💚💚💚

Team green supports our green queen Alicent! Alicent was married against her own will at fifteen, and maritally r*ped, so she didn’t do anything wrong. Alicent was dutiful than Rhaenyra could ever be!

All Alicent did was duty and sacrifice, unlike Rhaenyra who was a sl**, obviously, she slept with men out of marriage. Alicent is a r*pe victim. Alicent didn’t do anything wrong because she was the one who was abus3d by Rhaenyra and manipulated, she didn’t wish to do anything wrong. Yes, idc what you say, Rhaenyra deserves walking after labour, with her newborn bastard Joffrey, Alicent was girl boss, idk why you all are pissed about it.

And Rhaenyra also r*ped Criston cole, she seduced him, and forced him against his own will, drunk as she was. Funny how Team black accuses Team Green of supporting grapists, when Rhaenyra is a Grapist herself.

Also another reason Team Green supports pious Alicent, is because Team green does not support Child murder, unlike you Tb stans 💚💚💚

I can’t believe Team Black supports Daemon after he killed Jehaerys. Jehaerys was only a child, how could you support child murder.

Speaking of Daemon, he is also a pedophile, why do people even like him? You TB fans are sick. You Tb fans should be supporting groomed victims like Alicent, not actual groomers.

That’s why I can’t wait for Team Green to provide justice in season 2 💚

Team green will always support r*pe victims, not r*pists, I can’t wait for Team green to support Dyana, like they did to Alicent and Criston 💚💚💚

I cannot wait to see Team green to go against Child murder, 💚💚💚I can’t wait to see team green defend the children that are horribly murdered like jaehaerys was murdered, team green will soon ask for justice for the children that burned at river lands, and boys of house strong, since team green is against child murder. Oh, I forgot, also for the children who probably died at child fighting pits, team green won’t forget them 💚💚💚

And team green are also against pedophiles like Daemon, and defend poor groomed children like alicent, expect team green to finally stand up for the merchant’s daughter whose virginity got sold, as narrated by mushroom, she was only twelve, underage and sold off and bought, Team green will stand up for her 💚💚💚

Come on, Team green is always right, since Team green says they will do these righteous things, they will do it, won’t they? 💚💚💚

(How’s my acting skillz?)

I must say that I almost believed it ! I applaud.

[titan-god-helios]

pt1 of oddly specific things that give me gender affirmation/euphoria (that may not be that odd but i didn’t expect them so shut up <3 /lh):

wallets !!!! a good stereotypically masculine wallet that’s small and leather and still has lots and lots of usability and looks like something a dad would use makes me feel so masculine !! love it

any type of trouser or bottoms with more than two pockets

windbreaker jackets - they make me go “FUCK YEEAAHH im such a boy a man a male tm yessir” and idk why they just do tho, even the fem ones to an extent

plantssss i love plants and they make me feel like a little gardner boy just yessss

energy drinks for some reason ???? they make the internal man dialogue of “IM A MANNN” go haywire so much

hairbands on my wrist and an excess of those wooden beaded bracelets or even stone beaded jewellery

cross earrings but just bc they look cool (i’m an atheist so yuh, i still love people who have religion too, y’all are awesome <3)

doing the thing with your hair where you take hair from one side and flip it on the other with one hand and its kind of like running your hand through your hair but with long hair…. esp of my other hand is on my hip and i scrunch my face ?!?!?!??!? so boyish i feel so good

dancing like an absolute idiot. i dont know why but every time i just do a little jig for myself by myself my gender is just like “yessssss you’re a boy frfr slay king”

watches !! big chunky analogue watches

following on from the last point, clocks too

mushroomsssss they make the more nonbinary side of me jump for joy cause like “yes ofc im a fucking forest goblin dude i love mushrooms im just a goblin guy leave me alone and let me love the shrooms”

sketching in public. it just doessss

camoflague clothing !! i mean this was probably obvious but when i came out to myself and i wore camo cargo pants (with loads of pockets mind you) i just freaked out in joy i felt so manly that day it was glorious

singing !! singing my favourite songs as low as i can go with it still sounding good

just being as stubborn as possible but in a non problematic (for the most part) way. like if you give me the option to make things easier and more convenient or not i’ll choose the harder option. idk it just makes me feel manly (is this toxic masculinity ?? i dont know but i try to remind myself that this only applies to non mental stuff so i don’t end up self-harming againnnn)

being unnecessarily overdressed

not brushing my hair till its perfectly untangled and just letting it be a bit wild - this came with me figuring out that my hair type is waywayway wavier/curlier than i thought my whole life and learning to take care of it the best i can whilst i have like zero products for waves/curls on hand and as a bonus i felt more masc !!

looking at the stretch marks underneath my boobs in the mirror. i have a large-ish chest i think (DD cup), plus i’m a lil chubby, so i have loads of stretch marks around my chest, and the ones underneath look like top surgery scars, so if i’m having a particularly rough day with my chest dysphoria i’ll look at em and feel a bit better

using my stim toys and accommodations with friends and by myself for my autism and adhd - being capable of taking care of myself finally makes me feel really confident and as a result quite masc as well

stimming by flipping my beaded bracelets between my fingers - this is specific to greek and possibly other cultures similar to greece but it’s typical for a lot of greek men to flip long-ish beaded loops (?? they’re not jewellery and specifically made for this but idk what they’re called so) between their fingers in a similar fashion, and it’s a thing that my dad does a lot when bored. whether neurodivergent or neurotypical it’s a very common thing for men and so doing it makes me not only feel good stimming but also feel manly as fuck ! it feels even better now that my mum saw me doing it once and said “what are you a man ??” and being closeted i had to say “idc im just flipping a bracelet why does it have to be gendered” BUT INSIDE I WAS SO HAPPY

playing card games - when i was younger and even now my dad and grandpa would let me sit in on their card games late at night when we visited them in greece and now when i play card games i always feel so calm and comforted and quietly masculine

drinkingggg now hear me out yes im a minor but i’m also half greek so as a result whenever my parents drink im allowed a bit too (under supervision ofc). anyway that out the way, i have a pretty fucking high alcohol tolerance and considering the fact that it comes from my dad (being asian, my mum’s tolerance is dogshit) plus the stereotypical “men can drink more” stuff i feel SO MANLYYYY when i can quite literally drink more than my dad and feel okay whilst he’s starting to be tipsy (just to clarify though, the stereotype is bullshit and should NOT be perpetuated as much as it is, at least with intent. you guys with low alcohol tolerances are just as manly !! maybe you’re even more manly than those with high tolerance !! and women with high tolerances, you’re still very fem and very cool and valid as a woman and those who aren’t binary or aligning you are valid as your gender or as no gender no matter what tolerance you have <33)

caring about myself more. and i don’t mean in a “i’m gonna have a nice fucking bath and be happy about it” way i mean in a “i’m going to feed myself well, drink lots of water, get good exercise and be respectful to myself at the very least” way. and also in the bath way. baths are nice

collecting shit !! idk dude but having a collection of dumb shit just makes me feel so masc and good cause i swear to the stars nearly every dude i’ve met and stepped into the house of has a collection of SOMETHING whether it’s games, books, rocks, crystals, cookbooks and recipies or art supplies or whatever makes them happy. like legit fucking anything and i like collecting stuff too so its a bonus !!

just being nice. just being a nice dude makes me feel so manly

being silly and myself and doing dumb shit and being unapologetic about it (im still working on being able to do this since i struggle a lot but when i can it feels so good !!)

being stupidly loyal to something equally stupid /pos. like yes i have had this stuffed animal since the dawn of time no i will never get rid of her. she’s a genderfuck lesbian rainbow tiger from buildabear workshop who goes by the name of Roxy i will never get rid of her >:(. and so what my ring is so rusty it makes my skin green every three days ?? i clean it and take it off when it gets out of control back off bitch its mine. why are you so concerned about my shoes ????? fuck you i like them how they are (falling apart and dishevelled, the sole is halfway off already and it hasn’t been even remotely okay since three years ago) and they still fit and work so i’ll wear them until i literally cannot anymore. its so fun and it’s such a “just some guy” activity AND it makes my autism goblin feel safe and good too so its great would reccommend

just talking about stuff i like and that makes me feel good but not to anybody in particular. maybe in my notes, maybe on tumblr (like right now !! i’m doing this one right now !!) maybe on my personal dm to myself. it just makes me feel like a boy i love it PLUS i dont actually have to stress about humans on the other end of it so i feel way more confident and comfortable and as a result even MORE manly !!

ice cream on cones. i will not elaborate

travelling and exploring !! like legit anywhere. as long as i’m moving from one place to another and exploring the world i feel so happy and right and also masculine it’s great i love travelling so much. on holidays i enjoy the act of travelling even more than the holiday itself tbh

(to clarify i identify as male but a bit fucked in the gender - if you want a label i still identify as nonbinary but male aligningg <3)

[rainbowgod666]

Dr. Stone headcanons cause that is what ive been watching these days

Tsukasa has been having a perfectly hidden breakdown and only told senku when the fighting stopped, unfortunately they had to freeze his ass like, 3 months later??? Idk i didnt get to that part of the anime

Senku has so much shit wrong with him its amazing. I get too close to him he starts talking like CJ Duchamp. He sleeptalks about things and chrome started recording those... uuuuuntil our fennel haired boi started saying something about gen's butt. Using science-themed dirty talk.

Also every time he met tsukasa was some death note shit. He with the red being like "yessssssss... come to my kingdommmmm >:3 >:3 >:3" and tsukasa was like "this dude is fucked up, fr"

Suika is a cryptid and has scared thousands. Little gourd-headed girl why are you making the mushroom meme from here on tumblr sound mid. Why do you know every secret of all kingdoms. Why did you dream the fucking end of the world to nuclear hellfire-

Chrome is the only normal one except that he likes rocks a lot

Going back to our boy senku, he got drunk once and the shit he said would make a 4channer go pale. And thats coming from someone who searched THIS

-and instead got Real Raunchy "art" of what i assume was a REAL GUY saying insults that were privably meant to be in russian and not in english (look i have issues of my own ok)

Also one more thing. By The Autism what the actual fuck is kinro on. One time senku made (incredibly light and basically placebo) combat drugs, and... he did all of them. Result? Mf jumped at tsukasa like an animal and scared our boy Kars From Wish.com for a moment. Defeated him. And was like "guys seriously i know my ideal does sound kinda fucky wucky but uh. Are you guys ok? Is senku treating you well? Im willing to stop all fighting before-" but alas it was the time i was visiting so senku started talking like a boondocks charachter. Idc what did he mean by "whats really good", that is a fade that cannot be ran, cause tsukasa never breaks a statue without actually thinking about it, but uuuuuuh with senku the issue is that hes kinda always ready to scrap amd by that i mean reduce YOU to scrap

Also seriously suika you are a child what the fuck are you talking about "the birth of a new god" and "green-blue flames cleansing this earth of ignorant savages" and "your name will be naught but a footnote tsukasa-kun =)" GET THIS MANDELA CATALOGUE ASS CHILD OFF ME DAMN MULTIVERSE I ALREADY HAVE ENOUGH IRL MOOTS LIKE THAT AAAAAA-

[kingdom0fcards]

from one gay writer to another, i think nicholas would be the most supportive older brother

like imagine if u came out as trans mf would be so confused but extremely supportive !!! like yes go you!! want a haircut? no worries he'll give it to you (or buy you one. you insist on paying for it yourself but he's so annoying "NO I'LL PAY!")

and if you came out as gay? yes go date boys!! woo! boys yeah dick!!

if ppl shamed on you for being yourself (??? i seriously dont understand homophobia) he would b the first to throw hands like i mean actual fist fight the person bothering you

and then hug

or if you had unsupportive parents? he will be your parent idc cmon we're getting you a haircut and then ice cream

- self proclaimed 🍄 anon (i am your mushroom anon now im gonna be lurking in your askbox)

RAHHH I LOVE THIS !!!!

Mushroom anon this is the best shit

He would get so annoying (affectionate) about paying for literally everything; like you wanna go on HRT? He's paying for that shit you're not going into debt, haircuts and changing out your entire wardrobe? He's taking you to like 50 shops in one day to find out what you like !

I feel like this man would gladly go broke just to make you happy and shit

Go dick!!! Nick would fuckin go to target (or some shit idk) during pride month and buy literally every single cheesy shirt or thing that related to whatever kind of gay you came out as.

That mf would do to WAR to defend your fruity ass !

If he got into a fist fight he would be proud of it whether he won or not, he literally doesn't give a fuck because "I was defending you!"

Fuckin he would be your guardian or some shit in less than a heartbeat if your parents were unsportive (he'd probably fist fight them too ngl)

He'd try his best to get you to move in with him and get you everything you need and (I can not say this enough) would go broke helping you with your transition

Also I feel like his hugs are the fucking best like he definitely doesn't let go unless you want to let go

Thank u mushie anon you're a real one for this 🫡

[ceoofhelaegon]

Should have clarified that I agree with other nonnie. I think I'm alright with Aegon knowing about his siblings then just letting them be. Not the three of them having an affair. (They could if they want idc)

I would also say yes I think Aegon's true love in the book is Sunfyre, who they have to show next season after all. You talk book Aegon, so I'm definitely talking about book canon Aegon and Sunfyre. Are we conflating the show or what? I thought you said it was trash.

I think you’re the only one confused, we’re all talking about the show not the books.

Even at first paragraph you’re talking about the show and now you want to shoe horn the books.

If you want to talk about the books or show, be more specific. Because there was no affair between Helaena and Aemond in the books, if there was, there would at least one rumour from Mushroom.

I’ll reiterate, the show did not show Sunfyre and Aegon. He was willing to leave Sunfyre, and his family.

[nymphthroughthestargate]

Jolinar

an episode rewrite fic by mushroom

Nymph was the first to gate home when the attack started.

Daniel had picked her up and ran to the gate before Jack could even think to ask him. after dialing and sending an IDC, he put her down and held her by her shoulders to make her look at him.

"I have to stay and help, go to General Hammond and tell him to expect refugees. can you remember that word?" he said forcibly.

"ref-u-gees." she repeated, nodding.

"good girl. now go!"

she ran through the stargate, nearly tripping on the other side.

"General Hammond!! we need ref-oo-gees!!" she called out, pointing back to the open gate behind her.

"are you saying to expect refugees?" Hammond clarified. "what happened out there?"

Nymph panted as she floated down the ramp, trying to gather her words. "big ships made the dirt go up in big clouds and all the people got hurt!"

up in the command center, Walter looked over at the general.

"I think she's saying that SG-1 and the Nasyans were attacked, probably by the goa'uld." Walter translated.

Hammond nodded and leaned into the microphone. "Nymph, come up here and we'll make sure that everyone gets back safely."

Nymph nodded, and made her way up to the command center as Hammond called for medical and security teams to the gate room.

~ • ~ • ~

on the other side of the gate, SG-1 was rushing to get people through the wormhole as the death gliders bombed from above. Sam stopped to try and save a man who was lying on the ground, when he pulled her close and she felt a sting at the back of her throat. she pushed the man away, wiping the blood from her mouth.

"Carter! you alright?" Jack stopped next to her, concerned. she nodded and let him pull her to her feet.

"I tried to do CPR, but he was already dead. he bit his tongue." she said, her tone monotonous in shock. Jack nodded sorrowfully. he supported so much of her weight he was practically dragging Sam back to the gate.

"I think that's everyone," Jack shouted up after walking through, turning back to watch the wormhole fizzle out. Nymph went down to greet SG-1, but stopped just short of hugging Sam.

she felt off, and the little girl couldn't figure out why.

"what's wrong with Sam?" Nymph asked, keeping a slight distance between them.

"I just need to get her to Doc Fraiser and she'll be fine, ok kiddo?" Jack smiled reassuringly, and helped her get to the infirmary. Nymph side-eyed them, but didn't argue.

"what is wrong, Nymph?" Teal'c asked, standing beside her.

"Sam feels different." she answered. "Jack said she got hurt, and she'll get better, but I don't think that's it."

Daniel walked up next to them. "don't worry, Nymph, I'm sure she's ok."

Nymph was not convinced.

~ • ~ • ~

"can you open wide for me?" Dr. Fraiser asked, and Sam opened her mouth as she was told.

"hm, there seems to be a raw spot at the back of your throat, there. have you been feeling alright?"

"yeah, just tired." Sam answered, distracted.

"alright. otherwise, you seem fine, so just take it easy for a couple days." Janet turned to throw out her gloves. "Cassie's been asking for you. she said you haven't visited her in a while."

Sam blinked, seeming to forget who Janet was referring to. "right, Cassie. sorry, I've just been so busy lately."

"well, I'm bringing her to the hospital with me tomorrow when I go to check on the Nasyans. you can visit with her then if you'd like."

"sure will."

~ • ~ • ~

Sam apologized for being late as she took her seat at the mission briefing. Hammond accepted her apology with a nod as Daniel continued with what he was saying.

"the goa'uld attacked without warning. Nasyans are- were a peaceful people. they were happy to sign a treaty with us, and the gliders were attacking before we even saw the mothership."

"it's not normal for the goa'ulds to attack a peaceful people for no reason, is it?" Hammond interjected.

"in the past, there was usually some reason for an attack," Daniel answered. "for instance, if a civilization was advancing in technology to the point of becoming a threat. however, with the Nasyans, that's not the case."

"maybe they found out we were there." Jack asked, genuinely wondering.

"well, how would they know?" Daniel argued. "more importantly, why would this particular goa'uld care?"

"spite." Jack suggested. "we've been a kink in their chain for over a year now, they probably don't like us too much."

"I have seen the goa'uld wipe out entire civilizations for no reason, simply because it gave them pleasure." Teal'c added.

"so what, Nasya was just next on the list?" Daniel wondered. "a part of me wishes it were that simple, but I don't want to underestimate them."

"maybe their reasons were just not made apparent to you, Teal'c. after all, you are just a Jaffa." Sam said coldly. everyone turned to look at this uncharacteristic outburst, and she shifted awkwardly in her seat.

"all- all I meant was Apophis wouldn't necessarily explain everything to Teal'c, even if he was first prime." she backpeddled. "would he?"

"that is true," Teal'c agreed, still wary.

"I agree with Sam, I think we should give the goa'uld more credit as a society so we don't risk underestimating them." Daniel said, eyes darting back to her a few times.

"the better you understand the enemy, the better prepared you are for conflict." Sam recited. Jack gave her a sideways glance, but Daniel just agreed and looked to General Hammond.

"what's the status of the Nasyan survivors?" the general asked.

"we rescued 237 people. the critically injured and overflow our infirmary couldn't handle are at the Air Force Academy Hospital, and the others are awaiting relocation." Daniel answered.

Hammond nodded. "proceed."

"sir, I think we should figure out WHY Nasya became a goa'uld target." Daniel argued.

"I agree, but right now relocation is top priority. I already assigned the new SG teams to help coordinate your efforts. dismissed." the general stood up and walked out of the room. Jack started to neaten a stack of papers enough to carry as the others filed out until he was alone with Sam.

"oh, Carter. Nymph was kind of worried about you earlier, you might want to check on her and let her know you're ok."

Sam gave him a look he couldn't quite place, and slapped him on the arm. "she's just a kid, sir. she was probably freaked out by all the injured Nasyans around."

she walked away, leaving Jack confused and uneasy.

~ • ~ • ~

that night, Jack was the one to tuck Nymph into her bed in the base quarters.

"did you find out what's wrong with Sam?" she asked, concerned.

"well, Fraiser says there's nothing wrong with her, but she's been acting weird." Jack told her. "I think she just needs rest, she's been working too hard."

"yeah, that must be it." Nymph mumbled. she knew it was something else, but she didn't know how to explain it and she was worried she wouldn't be believed. Jack picked up on her uncertainty, though.

"Nymph, if you know something, you need to tell me, ok?" he said, firmly but without seeming upset. she paused, fidgeting with her blankets.

"she just feels different." she mumbled. "like that's Not Sam. but I don't think she's mean! she seems more scared than mean."

Jack looked at the little girl. "you're sure you're not picking up any meanness?"

Nymph shook her head. "no meanness. but Not Sam doesn't want to be here, I think."

"what makes you think that?"

"I dunno." she shrugged, and let out a yawn. Jack ruffled her hair and walked out of the room, pausing at the door for a moment to look at her settle into the bed. stuffed animals took more room on it than the kid did, and simple drawings covered the concrete walls like a wallpaper of memories. Sam had drawn most of those with her, laughing and getting paint everywhere.

whoever this Not Sam was, he was going to get his Sam back.

~ • ~ • ~

with Dr. Fraiser unable to find anything wrong with her the previous day, Sam was able to go to the hospital to see Cassie. the young teen ran to Sam excitedly, then stopped right before giving her a hug. the naquadah in her blood alerted her to a presence she never wanted to feel again, and Sam's eyes flashed as she made sure Cassie wouldn't say anything that would break her cover.

Jack recieved a concerned phone call from Dr. Fraiser that made him run to the hospital.

when he got there, Janet told him that Cassie had locked herself in the office, refusing to let anyone but the colonel inside.

"Cassandra? Cassie, sweetie, Colonel O'Neill is here. can you open the door?" Janet asked sweetly. there was a pattering of little feet, the click of a lock, and the door opened. Cassie locked the door again as soon as Jack had walked inside, and walked back to where she had been curled up against the wall.

Jack knew something had to be going on with Sam to have both children with supernatural abilities react to her in this manner, and slid down to Cassie's level.

"the doc said something happened when Sam came to visit, but you wouldn't tell her what." he said, more to the room than the child. "wanna tell me what that's all about?"

"she said she'd kill me if I tell." Cassie whispered into her knees.

"Oh, I don't think Sam would ever hurt you."

"she would, because its not Sam." Cassie looked up and met the colonel's eyes. "it's a goa'uld."

Jack looked at Cassie in shock. it didn't make sense - Carter, a goa'uld? Nymph’s words rang in his head.

she seems more scared than mean.

that assessment didn't track with what he knew of those snake-heads. they're all evil parasites with god complexes, and this one apparently threatened one of the people Sam was closest to. but Nymph had never been wrong.

he called General Hammond to set a trap.

~ • ~ • ~

Sam walked up to the ramp as the stargate spun around, seemingly itching to go anywhere but there. the gate slowed to a stop without dialing a planet, and Jack walked into the gateroom.

"sorry, kids. we're staying here for right now." he said, grinning nonchalantly.

"NO!" Sam screeched, running up the ramp. her eyes flashed, and her voice deepened and echoed. "you must let me through the stargate!"

Daniel flinched, and Teal'c took a defensive stance. Jack reached his hand out to stop him.

"you know, I wasn't entirely sure you weren't who you were claiming to be, but both Nymph and Cassie told me otherwise." he called up to her. "what do you want with Sam Carter?"

"Samantha Carter was an accident. if you let me through the stargate, I will return her to you unharmed once I find a suitable host."

"now, how are we supposed to trust you?" Jack asked, slowly walking towards her. the marines in the gateroom all had weapons pointed at her - luckily, Jack had anticipated enough to replace the lethal bullets with tranq darts. he wasn't going to let Sam get hurt over this if he could prevent it.

apparently, Not Sam didn't have the same hesitation. she reached into her vest pocket, grabbed a grenade, and pulled the pin.

"if you do not let me through the stargate, I will drop this and destroy you all." she called out, holding the primed grenade high.

"you'd die too, though," Daniel piped up, probably not as nervous as he should've been.

"if you don't let me leave, I am already dead." she stated, anxiety leaching off her in palpable waves.

"what do you mean? who are you?" Jack asked her. she stood a little straighter.

"I am the Tok'ra Jolinar of Malkshur. and I'm being hunted by an ashrak, so if you do not allow me passage through the stargate you will assure my death."

Jack turned to Teal'c.

"an ashrak is a goa'uld assassin, and I have heard tales of the Tok'ra." Teal'c said. "a rebel alliance of goa'uld against the system lords."

"I am not a goa'uld!" Jolinar yelled, her hold on the grenade wavering. Jack instinctively held up his hands.

"alright, not a goa'uld. can you put away the grenade so we can talk like civilized adults?" he asked her. she nodded, and lowered her arm. Jack jogged over to her and took the grenade, grabbing the pin off the floor and replacing it [according to google You Can't Do That but thats what happened in canon and i dont know how else to handle that].

"there, that's better." Jack said. "now, we each have problems. you have an assassin after you, and we want Major Carter back. how 'bout we help each other?"

Jolinar glared at him. "how do you suggest we do that?"

"we could set a trap for this- what did you call it?" Jack looked over at Daniel.

"ashrak."

"ashrak, thank you. we claim we have you captured in one of our holding cells, and when he comes to kill ya, we jump him. once your little problem is solved, we allow you to go through the gate to get a new host in good faith and you send Carter back to us safe and sound. how's that sound?" he ended it with a little smile, and Jolinar thought it over.

"it's... acceptable." she relented, and allowed a duo of marines to lead her to the holding cells. Jack watched them leave with a heavy sadness that he had hoped wasn't evident to anyone else. but it was.

"we'll get her back, Jack. promise." Daniel mumbled, a gentle hand on his shoulder.

Jack just silently patted Daniel's hand. the general walked over to the two of them.

"I got a call from Dr. Fraiser. apparently, one of the very badly burned Nasyans has disappeared, and one of the doctors was bandaged and drugged in his place. I'm assuming that he is this... ashrak?" Hammond informed Jack.

"well, we better hurry to get this plan in place." Jack said. "I'm not going to let this guy hurt Carter, especially if these Tok'ra could be potential allies in our fight against the goa'uld."

Jolinar paced in the cell, waiting for the ashrak to fall for the bait. the minutes ticked by far too slowly for her liking.

a commotion outside the room alerted her that he had arrived. a tall man opened the door and walked over the unconscious bodies of the two decoy guards, grinning deviously as he approached the bars.

"Jolinar, by decree of the system lords, you will die with dishonour by the power of the harakash." he growled, almost reciting the decree as he raised his hand with a device attached to it that was sparking ominously.

"hear this." Jolinar declared, both out of self-honour and in a bid to stall for time. "the days of the system lords are numbered. tell them I died with hope. my death will only feed the fire of the Tok'ra that burns strong."

the ashrak thrust his hand forward, a beam of energy giving her a stabbing headache. but before he could seriously harm her, several marines burst into the room and tackled the man to the ground. Jolinar stumbled backwards in the cell, but she was mostly unharmed. Jack ran into the room, looking at her with concerned eyes.

"you have upheld your end of the bargain." Jolinar nodded. "if you allow me to leave and find a host, I will return your Major Carter to you."

Jack nodded. "I think we can work something out."

Jack held his breath everytime the gate opened an incoming wormhole for a week before the computer recieved Sam's IDC. he and Nymph ran down to the gate room, Daniel and Teal'c meeting them at the bottom of the ramp. Sam stepped through onto the ramp, and almost lost her footing as the wormhole closed behind her. when Nymph felt the familiar aura of her Sam Carter, she ran into her arms.

"it's you again!" the little girl cried out in excitement.

"of course it's me, silly girlie!" Sam returned her hug, her voice strained but still her own. Jack smiled and threw his arms around the both of them.

"so, I take it soft foods for a little while?" he joked.

"probably best," Sam smiled. "it's good to be back, though."

YOOOOOOOO. LEO CONFRONTING SPLINTER?

LEONARDO?? AKA THE PERFECT SON? AKA SPLINTER JR?

IM SO IN FOR IT. I dunno what angle you would take, whether itll be super angst or Leo being some sort of calm anger but I LOVE IT EITHER WAY.

Especially after the episode where Leo lets Raph lead the team because he is sick of having to deal with their complaints and he goes home and Splinter basically tells him "It doesn't matter if they complain, you are the leader. You wanted to be the leader. Its a thankless job but you wanted to do it so you HAVE to."

BUT AU LEO CONFRONTING HIM LIKE "No, I'm not doing it. Not anymore. I don't care I can't do it anymore" AND THEN RUNNING AWAY. So much potential for one scene. I can't wait to see what you come up with(whether its a drawing or written out in a fic, idc i'm excited to see it)

ANON I'm going to be honest this ask got me so excited about the idea that I finally started writing the rogue Leo fic lmaoo AND I've decided to drop the first draft of the confrontation here >:) It might change by the time I actually finish the fic, but just know it'll go something like this

...

“I’m done.”

His words command silence, immediately quieting his family as they cross the threshold into their home. His brothers turn to look at him, confused to hear such a vague statement from their leader who they couldn’t get a word out of as they walked home. Even Splinter, who usually takes no interest in their conversations, has pricked his ears in Leo’s direction, a frown resting on his muzzle. 

They wait for Leo to elaborate, but his heart is pounding too fast to say anything, so Raph speaks up instead. 

“We’re all done,” he says matter-of-factly, crossing his arms, “that’s what the end of a mission means.”

Leo jumps to glare at him, but he stops to look at his family, inspecting them one by one and becoming more disheartened as he goes. Mikey’s ankle is bruised from where Tiger Claw tangled him over the furnace, Raph has a slight limp from the fight and is primarily standing on his left side to hide it, and Splinter’s eye is greatly swollen- who knows when he took that hit. Even his own mask tails are burned from that furnace, and his arm throbs from Tiger Claw scratching at his arm. But it doesn’t matter when these things happened, all that matters is why. Leo is why. He couldn’t stop them, he couldn’t protect them. Every single night he goes out with his brothers never knowing if it could be their last, and the responsibility to protect them lies solely within him. One bad call or wrong move could spell out the end, and it’s all on Leo if it does. He’s so, so tired. 

They look back at him expectantly, and it occurs to him that he could turn back now. He could agree with Raph, tell them he’s going to get some rest and pretend he wasn’t thinking about this. Things would continue as normal, and he’d… he’d still be their leader. 

That thought alone terrifies him enough to snap. “No,” his voice booms through the lair, “I’m done being your leader.”

It takes a second, maybe two for them to process what he’s said, but as soon as they do, the room becomes a mess of chaos.

“What’re you talking about!?” Raph gawks. 

“Leo…?” Mikey whimpers.

“You can’t just quit being leader,” Donnie chimes in. For some reason, that’s the complaint that riles Leo up the most. 

“Why can’t I!?” He demands, silencing them for the second time that night, “you don’t know anything about being the leader! You don’t know how hard it is to- to put your family’s life on the line every night!”

“That,” Splinter begins, drawing all eyes to himself as he walks up to Leo, a patient sort of tenseness in his expression, “is why you must continue as leader, Leonardo. You know the great lengths you must take to protect your family, and you will learn to overcome the fear you feel today as you did with the fear spores.” 

Leo grimaces at the memory of the fear inducing mushrooms he faced only weeks ago. He defeated them, yes, but he also admitted to not being over the experience entirely. Surely Splinter knows that?

“It doesn’t matter that the burden is heavy, it matters that you carry it.”

He’s heard that before, a long time ago on a similar night when Leo let Raph lead the team after a ridiculous fight. He remembers telling Splinter the same things he’s said tonight, that he’s tired of leading, that they don’t know what it’s like to be in his position. He remembers taking back the role because he was told to, he remembers Splinter telling him those exact words and they never spoke about it again.

Fear grips his mind tight as he realizes that this is the exact same conversation as before. This whole thing is rehearsed, just with the addition of his brothers to watch it go down. And, even more terrifying, if something doesn’t change now, it’ll end the same with him being leader and his family’s lives on his shoulders. 

“I don’t want the burden,” he growls. It surprises Splinter, whose eyes go wide in shock.

“Leonardo-”

“No, Sensei, this isn’t your choice to make anymore! I don’t want to lead this team, I don’t care how angry you get, or what you think about me.”

“So you’ll just leave us!?” Raph demands, making their younger brothers flinch at his tone.

Leo glares at him, the memory of his berating over saving Mikey all too fresh in his mind. “You never listen to me anyway! Isn’t this what you’ve been wanting?”

Donnie steps up next, though not as angry. Just confused. “But, then who would lead us?

Mikey frowns from beside him, “Raph wanted to-”

“Nobody,” Splinter firmly cuts in, keeping his gaze locked on Leo, who has returned it in a challenge. “Leonardo is your leader, and he will-”

“Not anymore.”

“Enough!” Their master snaps, somehow shaking the concrete floor with his voice alone. The others cower back, as expected, but Leo forces himself to hold his ground no matter how scared or nervous he feels. “You will do as you are told!”

 And where were you, his mind supplies bitterly, why did I ever fear calling you for help? Why was I so scared of what you’d think of me needing you to rescue us? He doesn’t say these things out loud, knowing it’d only lead into a bigger, much more dramatic fight than he has the energy for, but it’s there in the back of his mind. Why doesn’t his father understand where he’s coming from? Why doesn’t he care how Leo feels about any of this? 

He doesn’t say anything, actually. Instead, he undoes the straps across his chest, unbuckles the belt around his waist and throws them to the ground, his swords and sheath included. There’s a quiet gasp from one of his brothers, he’s not sure who, but he pays it no mind. He keeps his eyes trained on his father, his master, and takes a step back, leaving his weapons in between them. 

“I’m no longer the leader,” he announces. Then he turns around and leaves, not once looking back.

“Leo, come back!” Mikey begs him as he crosses the threshold once more. 

“Come on, we can talk about this!” Donnie adds before he hits the subway tracks. 

“Leo!” Is all Raph can say by the time Leo is out of sight. 

He takes only a second to crumble, stumbling back on his feet as the weight of what he’s done settles over him. All at once he feels sick and relieved, terrified but somehow safe again. It’s a strange feeling, one he wants to unpack further or at the very least try to understand, but he can hear his family begin to fight in the lair. They ask Splinter for guidance, and he offers nothing. It hurts too much to listen any longer, so Leo runs. He runs as fast as his legs will go, ignoring how exhausted they are from the fight just hours before, and heads for the surface. He doesn’t know what he’ll do there, but he decides that doesn’t matter. He’s just going to run.
