THEYRE GONNA COME BACK TOGETHER AND EVERYONE'S GONNA THINK THAT THEY SNUCK OUT TO GO ON A DATE TOGETHER OR WHATEVER

JUST LIKE IN MSP WHEN SOUNDWIN COME BACK AFTER WIN GIVES SOUND A RIDE FROM THE PHYSICAL THERAPY APPOINTMENT AND THEYRE ALL LIKE 'why did you guys get here together?? 🤔'

except this time I dont think they'll be as dense and stupid because the sexual tension literally oozes off of guy and nawa every time they interact

B I T C H-

IM LOSING IT

THIS ENTIRE POST CREDITS SCENE IS FREAKING INCREDIBLE

I love cheesy pickup lines so much, but even more than that I love kang's ridiculously cheesy pickup lines, but even MORE than that I love sailom's reactions to kang's cheesy-ass pickup lines

so this is like. the greatest thing ever

yup

as per usual, for every single 12 episode bl ever, the actually insane stuff is gonna go down in episodes 10, 11 and 12

woohoo. can't wait.

(part of me just wants the fluffiness to continue but also part of me wants to get into the juicy drama of everything, you know? I love chaos so much)

WELL, EPISODE GOOD

I MANAGED TO WATCH IT IN JUST OVER 2 HOURS WHICH I THINK IS A NEW RECORD FOR SHORTEST TIME

and I shall be rewatching this episode once every single day until episode 10 comes out because I am feral 😊

goodnight folks!!

[eyeaesteria]

let's talk about (and i mean watch me fawn over) supernatural s5 ep11 (Sam, Interrupted)

10 min into the chapter and the good doc's already showing why he's a good one cause the way he spotted the winchester's codependent relationship in only a few hours??? Not only that but he actually said it was "dangerously codependant", i mean he's right but ouch and then we have that talk between dean and his not so therapist, which is actually worse when u re-watch it KNOWING it's dean and his crazy mind. He's having a therapy session with basically HIMSELF and (screams) ofc he's asking himself all the right questions. i mean she started that convo asking 'bout his sleep (he survives w only a couple of hours(and idk if that's the correct word im drunk)) and HIS DRINKING PROBLEM and we got the tell me about ur father thing

AND IN THEIR SECOND CONVERSATION SHE ASKS why is he the one who's gotta save everyone? why it can be anyone else? how is that fair? How many people does he have to save to call it a day? AND the crushing realization that it is horrible. the weight of his duty is crushing him. he can't save everyone.

then the third is the charm and the not so therapist is showing her true colors saying "Did you really think that you, Dean Winchester, with a GED…and a give-them-hell attitude, were gonna beat the devil? Please. The world is gonna burn, and there is nothing that you can do." AND it´s not her saying those horrible things, it's Dean's mind. Those are Dean toughts, that's how he sees himself.....

I CRIED

So they kick ass and save the day, go all c r a z y and almost kick the bucket BUT WE ARE NOT DONE YET cause Sam's mind is in shambles (a-fuckin-gain) and he can't not be honest, not when his crazy mind has told him about how his lies were the cause of all those deaths, not when he finally has a clue of what's happening to him, what was always inside him (it's ANGER) and Dean- Dean says "You're gonna take all that crap and bury it. You're gonna forget it, because that's how we keep going" It's an awful advice, zero healthy, the absolutely wrong thing to say, to even THINK. But that's how he has always been. So Sam shuts his mouth and gets into the Impala, doesn't go against Dean's word, even tho i really think he really WANTS to cause he has most of the winchester emotional intelligence, because, and i repeat, HE'S IN SHAMBLES. Im gonna kword myself UGH i hate them !!! i love them!!! End of the communicate i just wanted to put my very disorganized thought into words lol

[halfagone]

Hey hey Halfa dear,

Idk if this thought is anything you might find interesting, feel free to do whatever with it or nothing with it, or anyone else if you publish this;

I read something probably like a decade ago now that featured someone getting letters with no return address. They would come inconsistently but they were all from the same person just kinda addressed to the whoever lived at the random address they picked. Just talking about their life.

I just remembered this idea and thought it might be an interesting plot device. Maybe this is a Danny writing them trying to process what he's going through after something ghostly, or if he graduates and decides to start traveling with Dani for a bit he writes these to process.

Or maybe, even, he gets the idea to write these letters after becoming a halfa, or any of the big wild events of his life. And like he doesn't include directly identifying info, but he vents about what's happened, and he just writes them as ways to vent, and, well, they end up being delivered to a bat. Idk which bat. That's up to you. (I do think it's something that would grab Jason tho, his dramatic Jane Austen loving ass would love this shit)

I think for like why Danny starts, it could be that like Jazz is trying to get him to do something to take care of his mental health, so if he's not willing to do therapy or talk about things, suggests things like writing a letter to no one, and well, he does in a moment of needing to let out his emotions some how, and then impulsively like mails it and feels lighter, so he just... keeps doing it.

I just think this has the potential for so much angst and also, shenanigans as the bat on the other end like desperately tries to find the person writing these letters. Esp if there's like a tech blackout for Amity, so like traditional mail is the only real way information can get out of Amity, and since he'd have to be dropping it stamped in a mailbox and not just in his own, since this relies on not having a return address, no reason to suspect this letter is from Danny or that it contains anything they're trying to suppress

Okay now that I've dropped off this idea with you im gonna go try to get some sleep, 💜💜💜💜

HOHOHO Okay... Possibly big brain moment? We'll have to wait and see? But! Danny has been living in the Ghost Zone ever since a really nasty incident (could be with his parents or the GIW, whatever your imagination prefers) so that he can heal and gather his strength. (He's an adult here, he doesn't have to worry about things like school and mandatory reporting.) And while he's in the Infinite Realms he ends up going into what is essentially a black market that's filled with, like, mortal magical items. (It's black market because if Walker hears about it, they'd all have to scatter like the rats getting found in the kitchen from Ratatouille.) He finds this mailbox, if you will, and it looks like something someone just ripped off a post from a suburban street and just kept for some reason? But the dealer insists that it's magical, cursed even! It doesn't have much of a function, though. As far as they've come up with, the mailbox just burns whatever mail you toss in there, so it's really just useless. Cursed! But useless.

But Jazz has been insisting a lot recently that he should really do something about his mental health. He needs to unload his feeling somehow, and no, punching the first person closest to you is not the way to do it! So Danny's like, hey! One man's trash is another man's treasure, I'll take it!

So Danny gets this mailbox set up, and he writes his letters and, just for kicks, writes these really weird, obscure no-context phrases on the front of the letter every time before he tosses it in the mailbox to- presumably!- be burned to ash. it can be anything from "potato salad" to "blood of my enemies". Danny doesn't really put too much thought into it, he just thought it was a fun little thing he gets to do, to lighten the mood you know?

But then Jason gets these letters. The first letter he receives in his mailbox doesn't have a stamp, doesn't have a return address, and it's not even addressed to him, but he thinks one of the rival crime lords must have sent it to him because the outside says, "YOU ARE NEVER SAFE."

Obviously he has to take it seriously, so he reads it even if it's not technically addressed to him. And at first he thinks someone is just fucking with him. Maybe Damian and Tim somehow managed to work together to write this mean-spirited prank? He tries not to think too deeply into it, but he does try to do research on some of the topics the letter brings up and he can't find anything??

And the letters keep coming. He's gotta admit some of the shenanigans the letters mention would be really good for a novel, and Jason can get so engrossed in the descriptions and he always gets a good laugh at the snarks. But then he gets a letter that has no words written on it, just a little, cartoonish heart scribbled on top. Jason is a little surprised, but he's not not going to read it, you know? So he reads the letter, and he finds himself quickly falling in love with this imaginary, mysterious person that's naming everything they love in their life, trying to show appreciation for the things they miss, and all the things they wish they still had. And fuck if Jason's not bawling his eyes out by the end of it.

Danny might have sent these letters out as emotional catharsis, but Jason is seeing himself in these letters too. And maybe, just maybe, Jason can heal along the way.

Now Jason is desperate to find the other person. Because that letter was way too emotional to be a joke. Not to mention there were dried tear stains on that letter, and surely that should help them somehow! He calls in some favors and gets some magic folk on the case, only to find out that whoever is sending these letters is in the Ghost Zone. But Jason knows they're alive (er, well, alive and dead, but it still counts!) and he just really wants to know if they're safe and well-taken care of, and are they lonely? Do they need help?

So he gets the magic-user helper to... fix up his mailbox a little. Obviously, there must be a connection of some kind between this mailbox and wherever the other guy is sending his letters through. The letters don't follow him to every safehouse or anything, just this one. By the end of the week, Jason has a huge packet, filled with all sorts of emotions and admissions, and just so much affection (no, he's not in love, stop laughing Dick it's not true).

Danny goes to open his mailbox to send through another letter and just screams his head off when he sees the manila folder on the other side.

When he realizes he's been sending someone all his rants and rambles and one too many vents, he's absolutely mortified.

I loved this so much, thank you for sharing this. I hope you did get some rest!

[s0lar-ch3ri]

hey new draft making

i keep putting this off, but it today arrives! a ramble about ryan selucreh to fill tghe tag for once

(spoilers for mythborne ahead BUT ITS BEEN OUT FOR A WHILE FOR FREE NO PATREON REQUIRED PLEASDE CHECK IT OUT I NEED MORE MYTHBORNE FRIENDS IN MY JRWI MUTUAL CIRCLE)

so who even is ryan selucreh? well, hes a football jock and a big oaf, the stereotypical strong dumb athlete kid. however, theres more to ryan that we're diving into, years after the oneshot ended!

one thing to note on ryan is how his powers were gotten in a mix of ways aster and connor did. aster was born with them (assumed cause goddess mother), connor got them from a book (recieved from searching, wasnt born with it), ryan got his powers from squats. silly, sure, but like i said, its like the inbetween of the two. he has the power himself and doesnt need a book for them or anything, but he wasnt born with them either. i also wanna note how asters powers are like life (plants and the sun, both can symbolize life) and connors powers are like death (decay and disintegrating, both are related back to death), but ryans powers cant be "like" anything. its not something super showy, hes just super strong (strong enough to rip a mountainin half im pretty sure was confirmed).

lwts get into those comments ryan made, and how its reflected across the 3 episodes. yeah, the comments on faking his personality around people and how he doesnt know who he is anymore.

first showing of this is with the j crew. charlie gave a good idea (he was nicknamed jyan), but condi says he told them that. granted, it was probably to be funny, but theres other options to that. ryan missaid his name out of nervousness, the j crew misheard him, he wrote his name really wrong, so many different options that also are pretty comedic. yet, ryan told them he was jyan to join their team.

on the floatball jersey he wears, they didnt even have a 10 for him, simply a jersey with a 1 and a "poorly painted 0". did someone else use the 10? why didnt they have one? another way ryan changed for people symbolically, wearing one number but being another.

ryan joins in with the omnious curse speech despite it not being planned. an attempt to keep fitting in with his group there.

hell, ryan even was an ass to connor before when he was with the j crew, yet wasnt when he was with connor and aster alone.

he even goes out of his way to try and save asters dad, an act of carrying for her and her father. hes such a friendly and caring dude that hes trying to fit in with them all to keep up their friendships.

thats what makes the whole "i dont have a real personality" line mean so much. because he really doesnt. all that can be seen as his personality is simply to appeal to another person.

HELL IM FUCKING CONNECTING IN THE FACT THAR RYAN WAS A HISTORY MAJOR TO THIS! WHO EXPECTS THE JOCK TO LIKE HISTORY? NOT ME, I THOUGHT THAT WAS CONNOR, AND THATS WHY ITS SO INTERESTING, CAUSS NOTHING LEADS YOU TO BELIEVE RYANS INTERESTED IN THAT SHIT!!! ryan barely talks about his past or anything, minus the memory (but that was only to save professor aeliana), BUT HE DIDNT FUCKING BRING IT UP. kinda ironic, the character whos past is pretty unknown is in classes learning about our past.

oh yeah did i ever mention his parents are dead? cause they are (confirmed by condi a while back)

maybe thats why he tries to be so appealing to everyone, to make up for that missing link. i mean, its not like that event wouldnt have some impact on you (also no jrwi pc has gone to therapy from what i know so safe to assume he has no coping skills PLUS ITS A CONDI PC YPU THINK HES MENTALLY STABLE??).

another thing i learned: ryans last name is a backwards hercules. fun call back to the name, yeah, but the actual story may have some weight here...

the screenshot doesnt give the full story, of course, so i will. the picture leaves out how the reason he went through hardships was because he was driven to madness. according to research, hera was mad at hercules being born (for he was the product of zeus and a mortal woman), so she made him go crazy and slaughter his family. to make up for it, he was given 12 impossible tasks to do.

am i saying the full story applys? hell fucking no! i dont think ryan killed his parents or anything, but i think the jist can apply. a man trying to be forgiven by people for wrongdoings that wouldnt have happened if said people didnt make those wrongdoings happen. ryan trying to get the validation of his friends and acquaintances by pretending to be someone hes not, which wouldnt be needed if he could see friends accept people as themselves. given impossible missions (be someone else) to appease those who he looks to (whether its to the side or up to).

another thing to note is theres no episode cover with only ryan on it. cover 1 has all 3, cover 2 has background faceless frat members and connor, and cover 3 has only aster.

it could be from how there was only 3 episodes of mythborne, yet this could be solved by having all 3 in a cover at once. while it would have been a lot, they had all 3 in the first and a total of 4 characyers in thr second cover. this of course was a purposeful choice, and it shows in a way who the focus is meant to be on in that ep (all of them, connor, aster).

so why coupdnt ryan have been focused on in episode 1? yeah he was directly related to the chaos (j crew being first vicitms and shit), yet that clearly had a more general showing. its because ryan isnt a character who can be focused on. he crutches to his friends like a team relys to eachother, thats how he has purpose, thats how hes even a person.

i woulsnt even doubt the stupid bit being an act! to play in a sport, you actually do need good grades (in my school experience, above a C+ in all classes), and ryans been on this team since he started college (infered from dialoge with j crew member), probably since kindergarten even (has known j cre since kindergarten). he learnt it from them, and found it to be a possibly appealing trait of himself to others, everyone likes the lovable idiot! sure, what he does to play an act can be extreme, but if this is really thr coping mechanism i think it is, its not too much for him (also wanna note how of all characters ryan is the biggest stereotype caharacyer).

the 3rd episode btw seemed a lot from the cover and namr and all like the whole world was a fake (for me atleast), and isnt it fitting that ryan was the first to fall off the stage? the man, who had an identity crisis outloud for once after it seemed like one friendgroupd was about to learn his secrets, the first to exit stage down (stage direction jokes). hes been playong a play himself for what feels like his whole life by now, he doesnt need a script.

i came in here to talk about ryan, put him under a microscope, see who he is. really, ryans a shell of a person, a muscle soulless being pretending to be a person someone can love and care about. maybe he too thinks about how connor had changed inside to save him. whatever it is, i think ive not learnt from this who ryan selucreh is, and maybe if he gets aomething like this, he can learn himself who ryan selucreh is.

[bpdfox]

Vent/thought dump I wrote a month ago. It's long and disjointed and I was also high when I wrote it. Figured I'd put it here, this is sorta where my head has been lately.

Am I nothing more than a mirror??

I don't know how to even get my thoughts out. I'm so… isolated.

I've felt a profound sense of isolation and separateness since I was born. Like literally.

Sitting there picking holes in my leg, pulling the hairs out so I know I can feel.

I can only think clearly when I'm tearing myself apart.

HOW CAN I GET WHATS INSIDE OF MY HEAD OUT?

Even today during therapy my therapist just sort of

I NEED TO BE SEEN.

She just sort of like. Had a lot of stuff she needed to process with all of the church shit and all of the fucking bullshit going on with that

I'm not worth it unless I can provide a service to someone else

I cannot connect

I don’t know if I'm capable of connecting and that scares me. That terrifies me. I can't imagine going the rest of my life feeling this way. I don't think I can. I can't.

I feel so small when I'm on these, everything is tall and towering above me

I feel inferior, threatened, judged when I'm around my younger brother. Even he is rejecting me? I've been asking him to play some games with me for weeks and he wont and I feel so fucking stupid trying to

Its' like im a kid trying to tell my dad that my goat is dying in the shed but he's too busy working

I CANNOT CONNECT

When my aunt was trying to use her fucking 'healing' bullshit on me and she was sitting there holding my arms and telling me what she thought was going on in my brain, that I was having such a hard time, blah blah. She was telling me exactly what was going on in her brain. She was using me as a reflection.

I'm' not your fukcing passion project

People only come to me when they need something from me

I'm a project, a side project, a 'once-in-a-while' hobby that maybe they’ll return to when they get bored

I'm so alone. I'm always alone.

I've felt this way since I was a kid

Even in my old friend gorups I was always the odd one out, people would cycle through me and talk to me if they

I AM NOT ENOUGH

IM NOT WORTHY OF CONNECTING WITH

I AM NOT WORTH CONNECTING TO

WHY

I was ripped out of my mother's womb and isolating was the only way I survived

I had to be in a stupid fucking box, incubating me, with the stupid fucking earmuffs that made everything louder, and I WAS ALONE

I WAS ALONE

I WAS ALONE

My mom is only talking to me about my brother

My brother is a fucking homophobic asshole and it makes me so sad and scared and upset and mad that my mom wants him to feel supported

I'm leaving my feet behind always, I'm forgetting them

My legs don't feel like a part of me, I don't feel like a part of my body. Is this what people mean by out of body experience

Even my therapist

Idont thinki can fucking do this

Im a leech, im a leech im a leech im a leech im a leech and im alone

And that's how I'll always be

My brother is going to his fucking stupid homophobic transphobic stupid fucking religious cunt ass fucking school and

I HOPE OAKS DIES, I REALLY DO. I REALLY FUCKING DO

I HOPE HE CHOKES ON A FUCKING FORK, I HOPE IT GETS WEDGED IN HIS FUCKING ESOPHAGUS AND HE ASPHIXIATES ON HIS OWN FUCKING BLOOD

I'm not worth connecting to

I cant get anything out and that scares me so bad

Because nobody understands unless I can get it out but I fucking cant I fucking cant

All I am is disgusting, gross, unloved

I'm only loved if I meet the conditions, if I meet the criteria. I can't do taxidermy in the barn but my brother can tan a rabbit hide inside the house?

I'm a hazard an inconvenience. I didn’t want to eat what the rest of the family wanted but that didn't matter. I'm a scavenger, I have to pick from what's left and hope I can make it through the night.

I'm disgusting I have mental fleas I'm always itchy and crawling and I can never fucking get comfortable, never get comfortable, I'm so tense all the time, I cant get to sleep because I cant get comfortable, I'm not meant to be in my fucking body

I think everyone can see it and that's

All I am is a hole

Is this all there is?

I noticed a new spot on my scalp, scab scab scab. Ipicked it. Why do I evne bother trying to not pick. Who am I fucking doing it for.

Im so fucking alone. I think im fucking cursed like genuinely. I cannot fucking connect. No matter how hard I try. And so I isolate and I sabotage myself

I'm fucking disgusting im not worth taking care of im not wroth anything. Im not worth anything. Im not worth anything. I'm a leech im a leech im a leech I'm a scab I'm a fucking useless piece of shit. EVERYONE CAN FUCKING SEE IT. EVERYONE CAN FUCKING SEE IT. And that's why im alone and that’s why that willn ever fukcing change

I try to show my photography and I just get a

Its no wonder I started fukcing drinking I cannot handle it. I cant handle it.

I have been drowning and alone since I was born at 28 weeks old. And nobody fucking cares. And nobody fucking sees. All I am is a mirror.

I don’t have a fucking personality I just cling to whoever I hope will give me approval and I don’t even pay attention to whether I'm liking whatever the fuck it is, all that matters is that they're having a good time

I can't keep doing this but I don’t think I can stop. I was programmed this way and this is all I know how to do and it's going to fucking kill me. It is going to fucking kill me.

I'm running myslef over again and again I'm the coyote that wasn't fast enough and I'm the car that didn't stop. I'm the road that wasn't takencare of and the guts that spilled across it and the dying breath of the animail terrified alone and that's all that I will ever fucking be. Only here for the bugs. I'm carrion. I'm already dead and im wasting away and everybody can see it and nobody will ever love me because once they see past the mirror all that's left is the fucking pit. The hole the empty the nothing.

I have to be funny because then maybe if im lucky they’ll want to stick around but I don’t thinkanybody really does. I'm always terrified that they will leave. They are going to leave me when they realize how useless you are.

Myeyes hurt.

I havent cried like that in so long. It gets stuck inside me and it's like congested. I'm congested and I cant get anything out and im ALONE AND NOBODY CARES AND NOBODY SEES

I CANT FUCKING DO THIS. I CANT FUCKING DO THIS.

IF I DON’T G

I CANT DO THIS

I AM

It's all loss IT'S ALL LOSS. ALWAYS. REJECTION REJECTION REJECTION

I CANNOT

HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO GO ON HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO KEEP GOING LIKE THIS.

MY BROTHER HAS FRIENDS MY SISTER HAS FRIENDS

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO ME??

I'M ROTTING. I'M NOTHING. I'M WASTING AWAY HERE AND IM USELESS.

I cannot

I'm really struglging with how alone I am. How alone I am. How alone I am

Christ.

Something broke insidwe of me but theres nbody there to witness it

Ive been out to them for ten fucking years. And they still misgender me. They don’t bother to get it right. I don’t know if my sister's husband even knows im nonbinary

I'm not fucking worth the effort. Im not worth the effort. WHY THE FUCK AM I EVEN TRYING

I'm howling alone and im hoping to hear a response but it's only mirrored

Nobody will ever respond

And even if they did I don’t know if it could reach me truly. Im in a fucking bubble. Im a specimen under glass for inspection and reflection and to look at when things get boring but I always endup back on the shelf.

Went through everyone in thefamily except for me . Left me out of the speech.

All im good for is to consume

I can only think clearly when I'm hurting myself

Picking myself apart

I'm going to be alone. Christ im going to be alone.

I don’t understand it and im struglging to keep up

I can feel myself closing up again. Goodbye.

The doors are closing again.

[rainderthesomeone]

Its official :>

I know I've said it here and there on a few posts on transgender stuff, but its a official, I'm trans :D

TW: I talk about abuse and body dysphoria in this post, you dont have to read the rest, this section is just me sharing my experiences in my teenage years with a homophobic as hell republican as a father.

I've known for a while like ever since I was in Middle School, I had a really hard time fitting in with other girls, I tried making friends with them but they were all into make up and dress's and talking about boys and other stuff, I made at least one friend in middle school but they left me for a group of girly girls, and I wasn't interested in what they liked, I was into a lot of things they were not interested in, I was a huge nerd, I liked games, Godzilla, movie production, comics, marvel, star wars, fnaf, dinosaurs, bendy, (not saying girls dont like these things, girls can like anything guys :D women are amazing I know a lot of amazing girls now :>) nothing they liked and when they saw that they weren't interested in me anymore, but I connected with the guys a lot more, but they always saw me as the girl who tagged along and needed to be treated gently, at first I had no interest in the lgbtq community or the idea of being something else other than what I already was, I couldn't even really talk about, since the topic of gay and gender ideology wasn't allowed in the house I used to live in, my father hated gay people, said they were wired, and shouldn't be his words not mine "frolicking around and being queer" da hell dose that mean? im still baffled by that, he's also that kind man who thinks lesbians are cool and gay men shouldn't exist, it was that level of misogyny and homophobia, looking at it now, it was really disgusting and disturbing, but I was 12 I didn't know any better.

but than as I got older I became more aware, and started questioning things, I was 13 in my room, on my phone, and I found this artist who was drawing deltarune characters, deltarune was also a huge eye opener to the lgbtq comunity for me, since kris identified as none binary, but I found one of the oc's the artist made and they identified as A gender, and I was like whats that and looked into it more and more, and than I went from I dont know who or what I am, to maybe im a demi girl, maybe im A Gender, maybe im none binary and than boom, it clicked, I went with they/them/there's for a while, but I began to feel uncomfortable, by being refred to as her, she, I started hating wearing a braw and how scratchy and annoying it felt, I began hating my chest, I stopped wearing shorts due to my legs being abnormally hairy and that girls arent supposed to be hairy, at one point my dad was going to put me through a hole body hair removal process which would have removed all my body hair, and he was going to do it without me knowing, until my mother told me, she was the most supportive person I had while going through this, I was litteraly terrified to say no to my dad, but eventully he didint go through with it, but I still wasnt allowed to have body hair, every time we went shoe shopping he tried to get me pink shoes, and brands women would only use, we went on a cruise and we had to dress up, but I didint want to since I would have had to wear a dress, blue jeans were the only thing I had that was close to guy clothes, I wasnt allowed anything remotley masculine, only my mom would let me have products like old spice, and she took me guy clothe shopping but it had to be in secret from my father, who would hurt me and my mother if he found out, not physically well he would probably slap me, but only yell at my mother, which still wasnt good, eventully we left his sad ass, and now me and my mom live in a apartment together, and from there I could freely explore who I was, a month later I came out as trans to my mother right after we left, and im in therapy with an amazing therapist and I have amazing friends who dont fully understand but support me in every direction, only triggering thing Ive experinced so far was not being able to change my pronouns to he him lol, Curse you school bored! XD

anyway sorry for the lenghty slightly depressing post, I just wanted to share my story here since I have the platform to do so now, the freedom of speech is very rewarding and validating lol, origanlly this was going to be a post about "guys I got my first chest binder oh and btw im ftm" but I wanted to get this off my chest no pun intended and open myself up more on here, the trans comunity on tumblr has been amazing so far, especially the tf2 comunity on here, I truly feel welcomed and comfortable being here.

lot of grammar issues in here, grammars not my strong suit plus its 11 pm for me right now, im heading to bed lol, good night everyone!

Gonna put this under a read more bc it's reeeaaaaally long but heres why I was glad my therapy was today

Okay so today at work I was the ONLY one working in clothing ([relative coworker] was in another area, one coworker was out on leave, and the other has the day off) so I'm doing my section like usual, it's not bad today so I put out the stupid boots and slippers first to clear a pallet. Okay good now the endcaps (which were a MESS). Then I went around the table clockwise to get to the champion table which is hell.

Working on that and it's like 6am when I reach the last stretch before I was gonna recover better (I did a basic job before and I was gonna make it look NICE after everything was out)

So NewBossMan aka BaldBastard comes by and he says to me "hey I need you to stop what you're doing and go do basics, BEFORE you start that"

"Fuck you do it yourself okay yeah."

"Yeah you guys gotta stop this habit of only working in one area." *walks off likely to go polish his bald head with the zamboini*

Well the thing is... that I WASN'T just starting a task I was in the middle of it and was getting a box to stock shit out, and I WAS LITERALLY THE ONLY ONE THERE! Don't fucking act like me working on a near perfect table was me working on a table that didnt need it WHEN IT TOOK ME 2 HOURS TO DO THIS AND THE SHOES!

And like I'm only there til 8am, I'm the ONLY one in clothing til then, and I had 2 more pallets to do, so basics could have waited til 8am. I would have told [relative coworker] to tell one of the girls after me to zone basics before I left for the day you stupid piece of shit. and the kicker... basics wasnt even that fucking bad! It looked normal, it's looked WORSE! You did not have to make me stop what I was doing for that.

And this isnt the first time he made me stop what I was doing and go do basics (it's the third) like just bc I'm the first person you see doesnt mean I have to do everything fucker. You can tell me and I'll tell one of the girls to do it! (Like the one who literally stands around watching tv on her phone... or the one who comes in at 8 who stands around doing NOTHING unless you specifically tell her to do it) but bc I'm the first person you see and you constantly see my in this area doesnt mean I'm not doing anything else

And what REALLY made me mad was that the past idk 2 or 3 weeks my section manager has been complimenting me on how well childrens looks (and how he hasnt seen it look that good in a long time) AND another manager not in our area used MY table to show how everything needs to be high and level. like you're damn right it looks good and you know why?? BC IM GOOD AT WHAT I DO

We all have our own section that we typically go to. Transphobic Coworker usually does mens, BadBack Coworker usually does womens, I do children's and [relative coworker] does sporting attire and whatever else is needed

Like everyone knows not to bother with my area bc I will get it looking perfect before I leave. EVERYONE! and I didnt choose that one bc its easiest, its actually the HARDEST and most dreaded and I only picked it bc when I started no one else would touch it so i did to be productive and out of the way!

Fucker I've been working in that area 2x as long as you've been manager here. You didn't see how bad it was. So get off my ass Mr Clean looking ass

Anyway I was so pissed that i considered putting in my 2 weeks tbh like oh okay so my work isnt appreciated here cool cool great fuck you I'll go work at McDonalds for $3 more bitch

I didnt bc of [relative coworker] and I do like my job for the most part and I take fucking pride in my work

[natmasthestinkylizardliker]

Hi so being as you directly quoted me I just wanted to respond, I did read your whole post, contrary to what you thought would happen in your tags.

ok immediately im done being charitable. what the fuck. what the fuck is this nonsense? why? what the fuck are you saying? oh my god.

well I'm glad you went into this post with such a charitable perspective to begin with, it's a shame the only response you actually gave a charitable interpretation to is the one you agree with.

"disappointed in my transfem siblings honestly n truly. educate urselves" is not saying "huh its kinda disappointing trans women don't get to enjoy this artform like everyone else". Like, if that's genuinely how you interpret that statement then perhaps you need to take a moment to consider how you understand tone conveyed through text, because a look at the tags of that addition show that they are just making the same point you are.

Now that post might not have been trying to be condescending but the way its written it kind of is.

yes, it is condescending. as are you.

maybe some of these women ARE educated and still hold a negative opinion and that is totally fine. but the pushback goes beyond just that

this is you being condescending, I, and many other trans women, are educated on the history of drag. we are forced to be because it is constantly foisted upon us as vital knowledge for trans women, to "know where we came from". I'm sure there's nothing untoward implied by that idea at all.

BUT putting that aside, yes, drag is not some mystery that we're all discovering for the first time right here on tumblr.com, many of us (including me, as this is my perspective!) have actually been to drag shows and know drag performers in real life and have read about the history and influence of drag, so it's great that we're still allowed to hold negative views about it, thanks!

um? which cis people? cis people within the queer community? cishets? those are already two wildly different groups to sample, but apparently it's just cis people.

gosh, forgive a girl for being flippant in a one line post on tumblr, perhaps she should have written a nice breakdown of all the different cis groups who respect and accept drag more than they do trans women, instead of writing a pithy response to condesention.

fine ok whatever maybe there's a point to be made about how crossdressing (an important tradition that's been a thing in the queer community for a long ass time) is easier to accept in a temporary performance than as part of a permanent stable identity.

see, you do understand, without further articulation, what the pithy one-liner was trying to convey. shocking.

now we get to my bit (yay!) so I feel like I have to remind you of the first part of my response, that you ignored to rant about how offended you were that I don't like drag queens being platformed instead of trans women when talking about issues that affect trans women.

see that bit, where I say I don't think drag is bad in general or that people shouldn't do it?

what is the point of this harsh anti-drag queen stance?

there isn't one, because that's not my stance.

are you on the side of the anti-drag bills in congress?

this question was answered in my post, perhaps you should respond to that.

this is fucking extreme.

yes, the extreme stance "drag queens are not trans women"

do you think these bills exclude drag queens and cisgender crossdressers?

nope, but then I don't think restrictions on puberty blockers or hormone therapy or gender affirming surgery or changing your name and gender marker on your government ID affect drag queens or cis crossdressers as much as they do trans people, do you?

do you think the transphobic us govt will just give these people a pass?

that depends, do I think drag queens and cis crossdressers are affected by right wing terrorism? yes.

do I think that this is equivalent to what trans people are going through, to the extent that they are functionally interchangeable? no, of course not, it's deeply transphobic to suggest that.

do you the most homophobic cishet legislators can even differentiate between a trans woman and a drag queen and a cisgender gay man and a bisexual man who happens to be a twink?

yes.

just to unpack this, yes, there is a clear difference between being trans and being a twinky cis guy. a difference that is immediately and viscerally apparent even to the most blinkered homophobes.

as for drag queens, yes they hate us all, and there is a concerted effort to conflate trans women with drag queens, but many people do understand the difference.

not everyone does, but that is a problem that is not helped by the way that drag queens specifically are platformed to speak over and instead of trans women on trans womens' issues. (which is what I expressed frustration with in the post you are responding to.)

ALL of these people fall under the umbrella of icky sinful queer. all of them. which is the entire reason we need solidarity in the first place.

and the solidarity that I want to see, from drag queens specifically, is not accepting the invitation of cis news organisations to speak on our behalf.

i can get being frustrated (which is all the original poll really measures) but this goes beyond that. this is about the question what do with we DO with our frustration.

I'm posting about it on tumblr :)

this shit is bad. this is the textbook example of the queer community turning against itself instead against the actual cishet oppressors. while yes cishets are chided lightly in these reblog chains for being bad (what else is new?) the vast majority of the words and analysis in this thread go towards shitting on other queer people, either drag queens directly or cisgender queer people who don't differentiate enough between transfems and drag queens or whatever.

actually, drag queens speaking for us, and TME queer people not differentiating between trans women and drag queens are the ones turning on our community and shitting on other queer people.

I am not a drag queen. trans women are not drag queens. some drag queens are wonderful allies, some drag queens can be incredible and accepting and sometimes can really help new and exploring trans women on their path to finding what presentation is right for them. hell, some drag queens are trans women, but trans women are not drag queens, conflating the two is transmisogynistic.

Like... telling trans women to be quiet? the snarky post saying for trans women to educate themselves on the history of drag is not silencing trans women.

yes it is, it clearly is, you even agree with it, you just don't like it being called out because then you might have to examine your own kneejerk "these filthy trannies need to shut up about being mistreated" reaction for what it is.

it is literally inviting trans women to stay in this discussion and potentially find value in this artform. that is not just shutting trans women down entirely.

we are in this discussion. we have stayed, we just disagree with you. saying "stop talking and go read history" is literally shutting us down and telling us we only hold the opinions we do because we are ignorant.

in fact, it kinda feels like that is what is happening to the cis queer people and cishets who like drag.

no one has said you're not allowed to like drag, no one has said drag is inherently bad or wrong or shouldn't exist, (some) trans women are literally just saying "I don't like it and I don't like how people assume I must just because I'm a trans woman and I don't like being treated like a drag performer by cis people" which, I'm sorry but if that offends you, maybe you need to go away and think about why that is instead of expressing that through lashing out at us.

i dont' have any pulitzer prize winning arguments to make the trans women who inevitably will disagree with me see what im so concerned about. i don't know what string of words to use to get people to understand why i find this so threatening to the future of the queer community's existence. we NEED to disagree with each other respectfully. we NEED to have constructive dialogues. but what i see in this post specifically is evidence of trans women being radicalized against the rest of the queer community in real time.

I'm sorry I used the word fuck a could of times when expressing my dislike of something, but you really don't need to treat it like I'm calling for the banning of drag. literally no one in the responses to this poll has done that.

expressing frustration about our mistreatment isn't us causing infighting. pointing out that something bad is occuring isn't wishing that bad thing into existence, it already exists, you just weren't affected so didn't realise before now.

but again. what is the response? what do we DO with this information? well apparently spend a lot of time shitting on drag queens ig.

I mean, you could actually read some of the responses, where several suggestions have been made, including my own.

people who are not trans women should not accept invitations to speak on our behalf, people should not associate being a trans woman with being a drag queen, here's a suggestion from @estrogenesis-evangelion's reblogs

how is that for suggestions for what to DO with this information?

the saddest thing of all is that in a lot of ways i agree with the idea that being expected to just adore drag in an uncritical uncomplicated manner because you are a queer is very annoying at best and deeply hurtful and insulting at worst.

so you do understand what we're saying, you just don't like that we're saying it.

i basically have no reason to like modern drag in and of itself save for its association with the queer liberation movement and that history. i have positive feelings of drag not because of any of the times i went to a drag show and enjoyed it (a grand total of zero times) but because of the importance in my heart to support any kind of intentional gender bending in society. whether that's gender bending like they do in the new york balls in paris is burning, gender bending by being born one gender and transitioning to the other later, or gender bending by being a man indiscernible from any other cisgender average joe but still preferring to want to be with another man, i NEED to support all of it because all of this makes me safer as a queer person.

good for you, but none of us have been saying we don't support drag's existence. we have simply been begging, pleading with you and other TME queers, to understand that we are not drag queens.

we are not men putting on a costume for a performance for entertainment.

we are women.

sadly, it seems the separatist movements have already taken root. it seems as though individual factions of the queer community are dividing against each other in a time when gay rights have become mainstream but QUEER rights on the whole are more threatened than ever, basically the perfect breeding grounds for resentment and infighting to get out of control.

trans women being driven out of queer spaces are not separatist, we want to be involved with other queer people, with organising and solidarity and mutual aid. but we also want our identities to be treated with the same respect as everyone elses.

a queer person or organisation that does not recognise that we are women is not an ally to trans women, it is an ally to the right wing forces that seek to kill us all, and they are giving them a toe in the door by throwing us under the bus to delay their turn at the wall.

i want to emphasize the need for queer solidarity. the need to accept people even if their queerness feels like its brushing up against yours. and then i want to ask every queer person on here alongside every straight ally to ponder deeply what the POINT of this rhetoric is.

queer solidarity is not disrespecting trans women's identities by conflating us with drag queens. as has been repeatedly said in other reblogs of this post, we don't hate drag, we don't hate drag performers, we just want tme people to understand that we are not interchangeable.

no i mean it. do it. ask yourself what the point is in being this militant against drag queens?

we are not.

or ace people? or intersex people? or any other hypothetical group that isn't your neck of the queer woods? why is this group of queer people gaining rights a bad thing for you? why? can you say why? and if you can, is that a valid enough reason to go to war with the rest of the queer community?

perhaps you should be asking yourself, why does seeing trans women expressing that their identity is different and distinct from drag something that upsets you this much?

perhaps you should be asking yourself why trans women asking for the right to represent themselves and their interests instead of being spoken over and spoken for makes you so defensive that you cherry pick their responses to rant about queer solidarity.

why, in a discussion about trans women, do you repeatedly draw equivalence between them and cis gay men?

do you think that, with so many trans women sharing similar experiences and opinions, there might be a genuine issue here that needs addressing? or do you think that there is something which just makes all of those shared perspectives less important to you?

maybe you are the one who should be brave in examining your own biases, when trans women are talking about being treated unfairly, why does this make you angry at the trans women instead of the unfairness?

I've gotta admit I think about this one a lot for many reasons. I'd really love to see what others think

5-day rehab

Last week I went to this janky ass rehab in this town that my grandpa lives in. My parents are originally from this country, and it can be extremely beautiful - but nontheless it's still a third world country. It's no disneyland, but living there can be pretty magical. I didn't get to live that magical part - instead I was sent to a rehab with 2 walls, plastic stools and no bathroom. We slept on dirt, and stray animals (not just dogs and cats - full on livestock) on staring down at us as we woke up. The so called therapy we went through was going various places of worship to pray the sin out of us. I think we went to more temples than the amount of meals we were given. On the last day I saw my grandpa who could not care less about me being there. I spent my spring break in a hot and painful facility I didn't need to be at. Im a drug addict and alcoholic for sure - but im not even doing too bad right now. Im almost sober. My dad definetly used this as another power move because he was mad that I was talking to the counselors about what goes on at home. Because theyre looking at him more closely, he has to get creative in ways that he expresses his hatred for me. He booked a first class one way trip, while I got a economy class seat with a layover over 6 hours worth. He got put up in a fancy hotel and went out with his friends everyday, I got a rehab with no walls. I survived it though, and I feel absolutely nothing. This doesn't even come close to all the shit he's done to me, so i'm kind of indifferent. It just sucked knowing everyone else had a great spring break.

~

TheBetterCanary: everyone thinks i know things because im smart but a lot of the time people just accidentally tell me things

TheBetterCanary: the reason i found out about the league was that one of their members saw i was asian and just assumed i was one of them and no one realized i was just some random person until like three weeks in

BernieDowd: the league?

TheBetterCanary: dont worry about it

TheBetterCanary: wait youre that conspiracy theorist actually do worry about it i would love to know what you think im talking about

ScareCrane: I mean… sure but why

TheBetterCanary: tax benefits

RiddleMeThis: You’re so right. Meet me in an hour.

Yummmmmm: I hate to be a buzzkill but, if you’re going to commit marriage fraud, maybe don’t announce it on a public platform

TheBetterCanary: maybe dont be a snitch and mind your own business damn

Yummmmmm: Your job is literally being a snitch and not minding your own business

TheBetterCanary: yeah but when i do it its in the cool sexy way

SignalOfficial: Nothing much whats up with you

TheOneTrueRobin: She was setting up a sniper gun.

Batman7: @/TheOneTrueRobin?

SpoilerAlert: happy two year anniversary to the time canary and red robin dressed up as each other for halloween and almost ruined each other’s reputation in opposite ways

TheBetterCanary: im still offended you guys think that im secretly a good person

Yummmmmm: At least they don’t think you’d turn evil at the drop of a hat

DeadHood: To be fair, out of every Rogue and Vigilante, you two are the most likely to switch sides.

TheBetterCanary: fucks that supposed to mean

Yummmmmm: Go back to angsting over Percy Jackson not being as good as it used to be or something fuck you

TheBetterCanary: harry potter and the audacity of this bitch

Yummmmmm: As if you aren’t so in the middle that most people don’t know which side you’re on half the time

TheBetterCanary: you literally died and came back dont you talk about switching sides

~

SpoilerAlert: @/TheBetterCanary how did you get verified

~

TheBetterCanary: ew nightwing is in town for thanksgiving *liked by Daylightwing*

TheBetterCanary: @/RiddleMeThis do you still have that red wig or no

RiddleMeThis: You are not convincing me to try and seduce Nightwing.

GothamGazette: Nightwing spotted getting decked by what was obviously Riddler in a red wig! See the attached article for pictures!

Daylightwing: I mean. It wasn’t THAT obvious.

~

Yummmmmm: Gotta love when all of your POC friends gang up on you try and get you to say the word

Daylightwing: What word? I don’t know any words.

TheBetterCanary: cmon red answer the question we wont tell anyone

TheOneTrueRobin: We know you want to say it.

SignalOfficial: It’s fun I’ll even say it first if it makes you feel better

Yummmmmm: @/BlackBat Help

BlackBat: @/Daylightwing @/TheBetterCanary @/TheOneTrueRobin @/SignalOfficial

TheBetterCanary: scatter

~

TheBetterCanary: sometimes i remember that theres probably a huge database where the bats keep track of and analyze every tweet we rogues make and it makes me smile

TheBetterCanary: anyways

TheBetterCanary: contrary to popular opinion there is a difference between being a slut and having a lot of sex

TheBetterCanary: nightwing is a slut that is relatively monogamous *liked by Daylightwing*

TheBetterCanary: batman has ungodly amounts of sex in the worst places imaginable but no one would ever call him a slut

TheBetterCanary: thank you for coming to my ted talk

~

TheBetterCanary: we rogues and bats need a token straight so the straights dont get mad so who is gonna take the fall for us

Yummmmmm: They can have Joker, we don’t want him

TheBetterCanary: nah i dont want to know who he would fixate on if he liked women so someone else

RiddleMeThis: The straights can have Penguin.

TheBetterCanary: no i dont want him to have straight privilege

SignalOfficial: I’ll take one for the team

TheBetterCanary: this is why youre the best

~

RiddleMeThis: Has anyone ever wondered why @/ScareCrane hasn’t used a truth serum to figure out Batman’s identity yet? Because there’s a reason.

ScareCrane: I don’t deserve this…

RiddleMeThis: @/TheBetterCanary Do you want to do the honors of telling the public or should I?

TheBetterCanary: hahahaha oh right i remember that let me

TheBetterCanary: while it compels people to tell the truth it doesnt force them to tell them the answer

TheBetterCanary: so batman just ranted about his most recent hyperfixation for five hours until red robin showed up to help

SpoilerAlert: what was he hyperfixated on at the time lmao

ScareCrane: Sprinklers…

Yummmmmm: They were practically begging me to take them to Arkham by the end

Batman7: You three didn’t like the conversation we had?

BlackBat: @/RiddleMeThis @/ScareCrane @/TheBetterCanary

RiddleMeThis: It was very enlightening.

ScareCrane: It was actually very enjoyable

TheBetterCanary: ive always wanted to know about sprinklers

BlackBat: :)

~

MarryMeCanary: So since Canary knows a lot about shipping… do you guys think she has a tumblr?

TheBetterCanary: everyone should be glad i dont the only thing keeping me from going absolutely feral is the fact that i dont want to get banned on twitter

~

TheBetterCanary: every year i say this is the last year that im going to help my fellow rogues file their taxes for extra cash and every year im a liar please pay me money

User44555511552: Are we going to talk about how Rogues are literal SERIAL KILLERS but they still file taxes??? Because that shit is weird???

TheBetterCanary: there are two things that rogues fear

TheBetterCanary: the irs and the goon union

TheBetterCanary: yes i know they should have called it the goonion its not my fault they cant name things damn stop spamming me

User44555511552: But WHY are you scared of the IRS???

Yummmmmm: Because they can’t get off with insanity pleas so, hypothetically, they might actually have to face some kind of punishment for their crimes

~

TheBetterCanary: i should have called the cps on @/Batman7 when i had the chance

~

Yummmmmm: @/TheBetterCanary What did you do to piss of Ra’s

TheBetterCanary: who

TheBetterCanary: oh wait youre talking about old man number two

Yummmmmm: Nevermind I think I figured it out

TheOneTrueRobin: Old man number two?

TheBetterCanary: he and one other guy are both way over three hundred which makes them old men and i met him second therefore hes number two

TheBetterCanary: tell him that if he wants to be old man number one then he can always kill the guy

TheOneTrueRobin: I highly doubt that it is the numbering that has irritated him.

TheOneTrueRobin: I stand corrected. He wishes for a name.

TheBetterCanary: check your dms it should be between the video of the dog wearing booties for the first time and the picture of the pig in a teapot

TheOneTrueRobin: I have located it. That is a very generic name, and likely an alias, but thank you.

~

BernieDowd: @/TheBetterCanary what do you think about people that think that the Waynes are the bats?

TheBetterCanary: honestly every argument is super flimsy

BernieDowd: what about the bruises on the Wayne men?

TheBetterCanary: have you seen the kinds of women that theyre into

TheBetterCanary: if they arent into some shit id release my actual name to the public

TheBetterCanary: lmao the wayne legal team is trying to sue me for slander

TheBetterCanary: its not slander if its true babes

~

TheBetterCanary: @/DeadHood always gets credit for being the most committed to the bit because he wears a second mask under his helmet but @/Janus manages to find every set of twins in gotham for every job without fail so really i think hes the most devoted rogue

~

RiddleMeThis: I’m starting to believe that the only reason @/TheBetterCanary is still alive is that she has so much sheer audacity that no one knows how to react.

ScareCrane: She looked Batman dead in the eye during a lecture and said “And what’re you going to do if I do it again? Kill me? Didn’t think so”... so, yeah, that’s probably it

Yummmmmm: The first time I tried to fight her she asked if I had taken pole dancing lessons in preparation for using my bo

Catwomnyan: She helped me rob a store at gunpoint and then revealed to me that the gun she was using was just a prop because she had forgotten the real one at home

DeadHood: I stopped genuinely trying to catch her when I watched her give a guy sunglasses, say “You’re going to need this!”, and then light his house on fire. I asked what he did to deserve it. Apparently, he “booped her nose”.

PoisonIvy: She chugged an entire glass of poisoned wine and then asked penguin how he managed to get his hands on it because it tasted really good ❤️

Janus: She got called into court for a civil suit. I offered to be her lawyer. She refused because she had apparently been in Mock Trial in high school. She said she had failed the course, and hardly remembered anything, but was prepared to wing it. She managed to win the case.

Batman7: She once provided me with an itemized list as to why she should be allowed to commit murder. Items 1-57 and 59-101 were all “I’m hot”. Item 58 was simply “Joker”.

~

Penguin: Canary says she’s not a bitch but if someone paid her ten dollars I bet she would bark like a dog

TheBetterCanary: when have i ever said im not a bitch

~

TheBetterCanary: i want money so im now taking sponsors

Yummmmmm: That’s not going to work, no one wants to sponsor a rogue

TheBetterCanary: youre right

TheBetterCanary: im now taking antisponsors where i promote your competitors so they look bad

Daylightwing: Preeeeeetty sure thats illegal

TheBetterCanary: i will ponder the legality and morality of what i am doing over a refreshing can of doctor pepper

~

TheBetterCanary: nightwing is the type of guy to make pancakes with the scrambled egg method and then cry when it doesnt work

Daylightwing: Get out of my safehouse

~

TheBetterCanary: hey @/ScareCrane can i vent to you

ScareCrane: Of course

ScareCrane: The motherfucker came out of the vents

TheBetterCanary: i literally warned you

~

TheOneTrueRobin: @/TheBetterCanary and @/SignalOfficial, please refrain from calling my mother a “MILF” from now on.

SignalOfficial: We only speak the truth

TheBetterCanary: tell her to stop being a milf if youre so concerned about it

~

TheOneTrueRobin: Canary is a lot less threatening when she dramatically whips out a contract, only to give herself a papercut and then cry for five whole minutes.

TheBetterCanary: fuck you youre paying extra

~

TheBetterCanary: i know im the number one nightwing hater and all *Liked by Daylightwing*

TheBetterCanary: but i can respect someone who regularly butchers the english language

Daylightwing: It is very dumb.

TheBetterCanary: the fact that it exists is a hate crime against me personally

SpoilerAlert: not what a hate crime is

TheBetterCanary: oh yeah white girl tell me all about hate crimes id love to hear your take

SpoilerAlert: on second thought you’re good

TheBetterCanary: thats what i fucking thought

~

SignalOfficial: @/TheBetterCanary What is this shit are you fucking serious oh my god

TheBetterCanary: youre going to have to be more specific than that but im going to go off on a limb here and say probably not

SignalOfficial: Why is there a bird in Scarecrow’s cell

TheBetterCanary: oh that

SignalOfficial: Don’t “oh that” me what the fuck is this

TheBetterCanary: do i really have to spell it out for you

TheBetterCanary: thats not just any type of bird its a crane and it turns out the local zookeepers have a pretty dark sense of humor

SignalOfficial: Fuck

TheOneTrueRobin: @/Batman7 Father…

Batman7: No.

TheOneTrueRobin: Where is your Christmas spirit?

Batman7: You are Muslim. I am Jewish.

TheBetterCanary: aw @/TheOneTrueRobin if you join my side ill let you keep the bird

TheOneTrueRobin: I will consider the offer and get back to you within five to six business days.

Batman7: @/TheOneTrueRobin Fine. You can keep Jonathan the Crane, but he is not allowed in the cave.

TheOneTrueRobin: @/Batman7 I agree to your terms. @/TheBetterCanary I regret to inform you that I must decline your offer.

TheBetterCanary: @/TheOneTrueRobin happy holidays kid dont say i never do anything for you

Batman7: Damn it.

~

TheBetterCanary: best idea for a prank is to give your enemies a completely normal shirt for christmas and watch them suffer as they try to figure out what you did to it

Penguin: Maybe don’t post your plans on a public platform

TheBetterCanary: that shirt looks great on you

TheBetterCanary: part two of the prank is to say that its fine in front of them so they put it on to spite you and then get chicken pox

~

TheBetterCanary: sometimes i forget how starved shippers are for content and then i see someone shipping me with robin because i didnt kill him when i could have and im like oh yeah right

GothamGazette: DNA found on a headless body in Park Row confuses scientists!

TheBetterCanary: @/Penguin youre not a girlboss youre a boyemployee

SignalOfficial: @/Staff I am begging you guys to just ban her already

~

Batman: okay my fellow gothamites were going to have a purge kind of situation in a couple of days to see if it actually reduces crime throughout the rest of the year feel free to commit crimes none of us bats will arrest you i promise

Batman7: Canary. Please stop. I said I was sorry.

Batman: shut up youre probably balding

Yummmmmm: What did he do

Batman: got me banned so now i have to use this account

Yummmmmm: I’ll unban you

Batman: okay but im not taking back the tweets

~

TheBetterCanary: it looks like some dumbass has decided to kidnap alfred pennyworth so its time to take bets

RiddleMeThis: Oh! $50 says Pennyworth kills them!

TheBetterCanary: cheap and lame but fine

Yummmmmm: Seven hundred says we’ll get there in time

TheBetterCanary: lmao alright

Catwomnyan: Exactly 180 on Bruce Wayne finally snapping and going on a rampage.

TheBetterCanary: nice nice id pay to see that

Penguin: The Wayne luck is going to kick in and he’s going to get out without even trying

TheBetterCanary: fuck you you arent allowed to play

TheBetterCanary: wait how much are you betting

Penguin: 1k

TheBetterCanary: welcome to the game

DeadHood: 15 cents says I’ll get to them first and put a bullet in their head.

TheBetterCanary: and i thought ed was cheap but whatever good luck with that

TheBetterCanary: huh

TheBetterCanary: it seems that there was a secret other option where the dumbass apparently follows me and decided to let alfred go

ScareCrane: So… who wins then

TheBetterCanary: me pay up bitches

~

TheBetterCanary: if one more person asks what my body count is i swear they will be added to the number

~

TheBetterCanary: im bored im gonna start gaslighting people about things they already know now

TheBetterCanary: like what are people gonna do if i say im chinese after all these years i can just pull the racism card if they disagree this plan is foolproof

Daylightwing: But you ARE chinese.

TheBetterCanary: of course i am we all know this

~

Supes: I don’t see why Batman has such a hard time defeating the Rogues. Most of them don’t even have powers.

Supes: You do? What are they?

TheBetterCanary: being annoying

ScareCrane: Being annoying

Janus: Being annoying.

TheBetterCanary: people ask me how im so relaxed around rogues and vigilantes all the time and i just gotta say

TheBetterCanary: first of all bold of you to assume im ever relaxed

TheBetterCanary: second of all all these bitches are like one dropped ice cream away from a mental breakdown i aint scared of them

SpoilerAlert: true 😔

ScareCrane: True…

Yummmmmm: True

Penguin: Hate to agree with Canary, but true

Penguin: What the fuck

Penguin: @/TheBetterCanary did you really just attack me outside an ice cream shop to try and make me drop my ice cream cone

TheBetterCanary: wasnt me but i wish it was that sounds hilarious

Penguin: Bullshit, I saw your face

TheBetterCanary: i dont know what to tell you man maybe youve been thinking about me too much and hallucinated me or something

TheBetterCanary: i already said in the discord server that im stuck inside for the foreseeable future you dumb bitch

DeadHood: Wait a minute… the server is still active? I thought you guys said that you were deleting it because it was compromised…

PoisonIvy: 😬

~

JuliusDay: there’s a discord server? why am i not on it?

TheBetterCanary: its to make sure we dont get caught up in each others attacks no one is scared of you

JuliusDay: i’d still like to know when your attacks will be…

TheBetterCanary: lol

TheBetterCanary: my legal team has asked me yet again to tell you guys that nothing i say here is serious and should not be used in a court of law

Yummmmmm: You have a legal team

TheBetterCanary: not really but sometimes ill tweet something incriminating and two face will break into one of my safehouses and yell at the camera

RiddleMeThis: I see we have competition @/Scarecrane.

ScareCrane: … I see… a temporary truce, then

Janus: Please. I don’t want her.

RiddleMeThis: Why not? She’s awesome.

ScareCrane: You’d be lucky to have the right to adopt her

Janus: Somehow I think I’ve made this worse for myself.

Janus: @/TheBetterCanary Help me.

TheBetterCanary: no this is peak entertainment

~

Yummmmmm: Canary is sick, I will ask her to impart some wisdom upon us

TheBetterCanary: nif e

DeadHood: She has spoken.

~

Yummmmmm: Sickness update – Canary is currently very loudly complaining about how red hair isn’t really red so I think she’ll live

~

TheBetterCanary: thought red robin was decent until he told me he thought nightwing and oracle are the best nightwing ship

Yummmmmm: They’re a classic

TheBetterCanary: so was slavery bitch nightwing is way cuter with starfire

Daylightwing: Do I get a say in this?

TheBetterCanary: no fuck off

Yummmmmm: Yeah this ain’t about you

Daylightwing: It literally is?

TheBetterCanary: that super relatable moment when you have to dismantle a system that has benefited you for years

BlackBat: :(

TheBetterCanary: at least i get to put calendar man to shame on one of his favorite days

BlackBat: :D

Batman7: What are you planning to do and how?

TheBetterCanary: like id tell you youd just stop me

SpoilerAlert: ten bucks says she’s gonna do a murder

SignalOfficial: Man, I just finished my shift, too

TheBetterCanary: Hey guys Im not actually Canary but shes letting me borrow her account to make a fun little announcement anonymously

TheBetterCanary: Ive compiled a list of every Court member in Gotham that @/TheBetterCanary @/107kidsncounting and I knew about along with all of the proof we could gather over a month long period

TheBetterCanary: Here you go shorturl.at/hMW27 enjoy the hitlist everyone

TheBetterCanary: Okay okay sorry mom lmao here’s the actual link shorturl.at/BKOR1

~

Gothamlite: This feels like a trap. Why would Canary hurt the Court when she benefits from corrupt systems?

TheBetterCanary: well you see the thing is i enjoy this thing called being alive

~

TheOneTrueRobin: @/TheBetterCanary, @/RiddleMeThis, @/ScareCrane, and their other evil friend are all laughing maniacally. They will not stop. It has been ten minutes.

TheBetterCanary: nothing is more painful when you send your friend a meme and they tell you theyve already seen it

DeadHood: You kicked me in the dick less than five hours ago.

TheBetterCanary: it’s what it’s

Daylightwing: The one time you use proper grammar and its for THIS.

SignalOfficial: You are a menace to society

~

DeadHood: Sometimes I think about grabbing Canary by the ankles and flipping her upside down to see how many knives fall out of her clothes.

TheBetterCanary: you could just ask

DeadHood: Would you lie?

TheBetterCanary: i mean sure but youd get further away from the knives you want to know about so badly quicker if youre not actively touching me when i get them out

~

TheBetterCanary: out of gotham for the first time in ages and i hate it it feels weird where is the crime

SpoilerAlert: be the change you want to see in the world

TheBetterCanary: youre so right bestie

chapter 08: see the real you

“Look somewhere else! Do you want her autograph or something? Fuck off!" Sofía yelled at a freshman boy who was staring at Storm. The boy turned red and quickly started walking away.

"It's ok Sofía. Just ignore them like I've been doing." Storm reasoned as she put her books in her locker.

All week people have been staring at her. Apparently, word went out about the incident that happened last weekend. It seemed like everyone was afraid to even walk near her. The only people who dared to even speak to her were Sofía, Ford and Hobi.

Storm had figured out the names of the people who attacked her. Every since the attack they haven't been at school.

"I don't get the stares, all this because I got 3 students suspended?! Why they look so scared? I'm the one who got my ass beat not them." She  exclaimed.

Sofía decided to stay silent. How can she be Taehyung's sister and be completely oblivious?Hopefully next year she will catch on. It's no way she actually believes those students were "suspended".

"Maybe suspended 6 feet under." Sofía thought.

Storm sighed. "I'm so over all this, do you want to hang out tonight?" She asked.

"I have to go to a dinner with my abuelita, what about this weekend?" Sofía offered.

Storm was conflicted, she wanted to tell Sofía that she was going out with Jungkook but she knew she wouldn't approve.

So she gave a vague answer.

"I have a therapy session with a student."

Sofía only nodded her head not thinking anything of it.

————

Nervous was an understatement as Storm looked at herself in the mirror. All week she has been nervous for this day.

Technically it wasn't a date, but it also kind of was. Honestly, she didn't know but she wanted to look nice.

She didn't really have a crush on Jungkook but she found him interesting and strange. Something about him made her nervous and it wasn't just his attractiveness. He seemed like a mystery to her she wanted to solve.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the ringing of her phone.

"Hey Jimin." She spoke into the phone.

"Hey Storm, im busy at the office but you still going to dinner with us right?" Jimin asked.

She thought it was peculiar Jimin asked, he usually never asked and just showed up. But she was happy he did ask because she couldn't make it.

"No, i'm busy tonight oppa."

"Ah man, well I still need to come by later and talk to you." He retorted.

"Oh great, another thing to be nervous about." Storm thought. She hate when people say they need to talk because usually it was bad news. Jimin probably wanted to kick her out.

"O-Ok see you tonight." She quickly responded before hanging up.

"Jimin, you're so dumb, now she definitely won't talk to you. "I wanna talk." Do you know how suspicious that sounds?" Rosé complained.

"You give me the worst headaches! Storm is a nice girl she probably have no idea what's going on." Jimin defended.

"Well if she does she definitely would make a run for it now. This why I should be handling things." Rosé remarked.

"Remember the last time you "handled things". Let me take care of it. Remember our goal is to help her." He reasoned.

"Boohooo!" Rosé groaned before sinking into the couch.

If Jimin was going to be stupid she would have to play smarter and do things herself.

————-

Storm patiently waited as she knocked on the door. She tried to calm her shaking hands by cracking her knuckles.

The door was opened by Taehyung who greeted her with a smile.

"Hey sis, come on in." He said as Storm gave him a hug.

"You look much better." She noticed. Taehyung was now walking fine and looked pretty much normal.

"Yeah, my ribs are still broken so i'm taking it slow." He explained. "You look nice though."

"Thank you, is Jungkook here?" Storm nervously asked looking around the elegant room.

"Yeah he is, I thought you was visiting me though." He chuckled.

"I'll make sure i'll visit you more Tae, you know I love you right?!" She reassured.

"Yeah yeah, I get it you outgrown your brother." He teased making Storm glare at him.

"I'm joking!" He defended. "But why are you here for Jungkook."

"We're going out on a date." A voice answered. Jungkook suddenly appeared for the elevator.

Storm wasn't going to lie, he looked good. He was wearing a fitted shirt which defined his fit body and his overgrown hair was neatly done.

"I-It's not a date! We're just hanging out!" She blurted.

Jungkook ignored her comment as Taehyung looked at them both.

"You two have fun then." He said giving them both a smile before leaving the room.

His smile was actually genuine. After getting punched in the stomach he realized that maybe Jungkook liking Storm was a good thing. Jungkook never came after good people, maybe it was a good thing the most powerful person on earth was protecting her.

He wasn't dumb enough to try to go against Jungkook again. He will just let his sister fall in love and be happy with him.

Jungkook grabbed Storm's small hand before charmingly kissing it. "You look beautiful, love. Are you ready?"

Jungkook could hear her heartbeat speed up. He had her wrapped around his finger.

"Um yeah, I'm ready." She retorted.

——————-

The carnival was surrounded by bright colors and bright smiles. Many families and children walked around with food and prizes in their hands.

Jungkook and Storm have just arrived. He wasn't used to attending exciting family friendly places. He knew a carnival was the best place, it was filled with distractions.

If he had took her to a dinner date she would ask questions. If he answered honestly she would never speak to him, but he also hated lying to her.

He knew one day he would have to tell his butterfly what he really was but he wanted it to be on his own terms. If she would fall deep in love with him then perhaps she wouldn't care about what inhuman brute he was.

"It's so beautiful here Jungkook!" She exclaimed like an thrilled child.

Jungkook chuckled at her. "Is this your first time babe?" He asked.

"Yeah, it's kind of embarrassing." She answered.

How cute. He really was showing her new experiences. Imagine the other magnificent things he could show her that's beyond earth?

He should be the only one who would give her these experiences. Besides, he was the only person who had everything.

"No its not love! It's so many things to do here, what do you want to do first?"

"Hmm, can we do ring toss?" She shyly asked.

It was very rare that Jungkook smile but he did as he took her hand and it embraced it to his.

This time when he held her hand he focused on the feeling. She felt different then other humans, but also quite similar.

They both walked over to the ring toss.

"You wanna play ring toss? 3 dollars!" The jolly man informed.

"Alright." Jungkook retorted before pulling a large stash of cash from his bag.

"Damn." Storm mumbled earning a slight grin from him. She knew he had money since he lived in a mansion but she never seen anyone walk around with thousands of dollars.

The man handed Storm the rings as he started the timer. She handed the other half to Jungkook so he can participate.

She swiftly attempted to get the rings around the cluttered bottles. The cling of metal can be heard as most of the rings went between the bottles. To her avail she only got two rings around the bottle.

She looked over to Jungkook who still had his rings in his hand.

"Jungkook! The timer is about to go out!" She warned.

"Watch this." He told her.

He closed his eyes to get his powers under control. With one throw all of the rings went around the bottle earning a gasp from Storm and the man.

"What the f-" The man started.

"How you do that!?" Storm asked in shock.

"It's in my blood baby!" He answered truthfully. knowing she wouldn't question it.

"That was amazing." She spoke in awe. Jungkook liked the way she was fascinated over him.

"Eight rings out of 12? I believe that wins us the biggest prize." Jungkook told the man.

"Um yeah, I guess it does." He said unenthusiastically.

"What prize do you want love?" He asked Storm.

"Me? But you got the most rings!" She argued.

"What would I do with a stuffed animal?" Jungkook asked her.

"Some men have stuffed animals! My brother has the whole sesame street!" She defended.

Jungkook let out a fake groan. "Just choose one!"

She rolled her eyes before picking out a lifesize bear.

"Aw, he's so cute, I should name him Kookie." She teasefully flirted.

"You want to ride this?" Jungkook asked.

"Huh?!" She questioned.

"I'm talking about the bull, don't tell me my girl's mind in the gutter." He teased.

"Uh no." She scoffed.

————-

Storm was having one of the best nights of her life. Jungkook had won her bunch of prizes and she also rode the ferris wheel for the first time.

Currently, he took her to a drive thru of a fast food restaurant. They sat in the car eating food and laughing. If anyone else saw Jungkook smiling and laughing like he was today they wouldn't believe it.

Jungkook has had the happiest day he ever had on this planet. When he was with her he felt normal and content. He didn't want this day to end. In fact, he didn't want any time spent with her to end. He simply wanted to be with her every moment. He deserves happiness right?

Although she was happy hanging out with him, she was also conflicted. She knew Jungkook was lying when he said this was a therapy session, but she also didn't want to call this a date despite how much fun she had.

She still was suspicious about him. But she also thought he wasn't as bad as people make him out to be. Storm was taught to look at the good at people but she was also wasn't stupid. Rumors are one thing but fear is another.

She remembered the fear on Kim Namjoon’s face and even the fear on Taehyung's face the night he kicked her out.

The selective choice of words his friends spoke around him.

Something was definitely off.

She decided she will start simple with basic questioning.

"Hey Jungkook, do you have like any family around here in Greenwood?”

Jungkook looked ahead at the windshield as he paused before answering.

"I have a father but he lives far away." He spoked as she nodded her head. "You have any siblings?" She asked.

"Yeah but we lost connection. I had a brother." He plainly answered.

She noticed his demeanor changed from cheerful to his normal stoic manner.

"So have you always lived in Greenwood?" She asked.

"No." He replied. "You know butterfly you ask alot of questions."

"I literally only asked two." She defended. "But if it makes you so nervous then you can ask me one?"

Jungkook loved this. He knew the basics about her; her age, hometown, birthday, social security number, former address, major. But he felt like he didn't know enough about her background.

"So you're a foster, have you ever met your parent or do you remember them?" He blurted.

She shortly glared at him. "You know those aren't questions you just casually ask a foster? Jeez."

"Well you asked about my family." He argued.

"Alright fine! About a year after I was born my mom left and said she will return but never did. My dad tried to take care of me but he couldn't because he had no family. He would leave me in the car and check on me during breaks at his job. Eventually, he got caught for negligence because I was left unsupervised.

They put me in the foster home at two years old. My father stop trying to get custody I guess he was ashamed. I never heard from him since. Taehyung was there at the foster home too and he would take care of me. Eventually, we both got sent to an adoption agency. Since we was always together a couple adopted us.

We was never really close with them since Taehyung cared of the both of us. But anyways, when I was around 17 I met my birth mother. She was very beautiful and looked young. She wanted me to move in with her but my adopted parents said I couldn't until I turn 18. Unfortunately I never got that chance because she died in a car accident but I get the chance to know her and I'm thankful for that."

Jungkook noticed as Storm spoke she was being detailed yet vague. She talked quickly almost like of she let the words digest she would cry. Yet, she remained strong and spoke about it casually.

Jungkook felt bad about her mother, oh how he remembered her.

"You're a strong girl Storm." He said holding her hand giving her a reassuring smile.

"Yeah yeah, what's your other question?"

He stared into her brown eyes almost as if he was reading her. His tattooed hand reached to her face caressing it. She didn't dare to move. His fingers traced the outline of her brown skin as it found her pink lips. He softly rubbed her lips with his finger before lifting her chin.

"Can I kiss you?" He whispered making her shiver.

Storm was conflicted. It was no doubt she had a crush on him but she knew what a kiss meant. It meant that this was a date. Was she ready for that?

"I- I don't know."

He chuckled at her while lovingly gazing. "Let me rephrase, If I kiss you would you stop me?" He asked.

She paused. Boy was she feeling things right now. She never had her first kiss. She never been to the carnival. She was in college, maybe it was time to live a little.

She slightly leaned in towards Jungkook's face. "No, I won't. Kiss me."

He wasted no time before grabbing her neck and crashing his lips towards hers. The kiss was soft but controlling.

Almost as if he been waiting for a long time.

———

The car ride was quiet. It wasn't an awkward silence more of a comfortable one.

After their kiss, they both said no words. Storm thoughts were racing and her red cheeks was towards the window.

Jungkook contrastingly, casually drove with a slight smirk on his face.

"Where do you live so I can drop you off?" He asked.

"Oh, um I live at the Park Suites in the city." She nervously answered.

"You actually live in a hotel? You sure you aren't just trying to seduce me?" He chaffed.

"On the first date? Do you think that low of me?" Storm teased.

"Oh so this was a date?" Jungkook questioned giving her a flirty grin.

"I mean! You know what I meant." She groaned.

"I'm glad you think it was a date babe, because in my book it was one of the best days of my life. I can't wait to go on many other dates with you." He spoke.

" Was it really the best day of his life?" She thought. It was one of the best days of Storm's life because she never been anywhere. Surely, a popular guy like him would've been everywhere.

But she wasn't sure if she was prepared to go on other dates with him. What would her friends think of her?

There she goes judging him again.

Her thoughts were interrupted when she saw the gigantic hotel.

"This is it!" She informed him.

"Alright, i'll park and walk you to the door. I want to make sure you get home safely." He explained.

What a gentleman.

Jungkook helped her grabbed all of her stuffed animals he had won her as they took the elevator to one of the highest floors.

Storm was telling him something but he could not focus. He felt a presence he haven't felt in years. He briefly looked down at his wrist and notice black veins appearing.

He took a deep breath trying to calm his powers.

"You're listening Jungkook?" Storm asked.

"No sorry! I blanked out." He retorted.

Storm noticed something on him she never saw, cluelessness.

Usually he looked like he knew everything. "I said I'm glad Taehyung wasn't mad about us hanging out? Are you ok? You look pale." She asked.

"Yeah I'm good!" He blurted. Why was he feeling like this?

"This my floor." She told him as they walk down the hallway.

He tried to stay focused as she fumbled with the key due to her hands being filled. She opened up the door to her room.

Jungkook eyes lit up to a purple that she didn't noticed since she was in front of him.

"You can just put the stuffed animals in the living room." She informed.

Jungkook let out shaky breaths as he looked down and obeyed.

"Hey, are you sure you're ok?" She asked again. Jungkook closed his eyes and he heard her footsteps getting closer to him.

Instead of trying to block this strange feeling he had he let his body focus and embrace it.

He knew what it was now.

It wasn't just something it was someone. Why would this someone be in her room!?

"Who the fuck is in the room Storm!?" He yelled aa he opened his eyes.

She gasped taking a leap back at his voice. But that's not the only thing she noticed. His eyes were purple with black veins underneath.

"What! It's just you and me! What is going on? Why do you look like that?" She asked with shaky breaths.

He let out a frustrated scream. "Fuck! I can't be here!" He said before running off in an inhuman speed.

Storm whole body was shaking. It was no explanation for what she just saw. What type of strong drugs is Jungkook on to make his eyes look like that?

She stood in place thinking for what felt like minutes. Why would he get mad like that? It's nobody in here? But she did know this. No drug could make a human run off like that.

She jumped as she heard footsteps. She closed her eyes in fear and didn't dare to look up.

"Shit, Storm calm down its me, Jimin." Storm hesitatingly opened her eyes.

"Jimin!" She screeched before giving him a tight hug. Jimin held her back embracing her.

Wait.

Storm jumped out of Jimin's arms shoving him.

"You was in here whole time! What's going on! I know you heard what just happened." She cried.

Jimin looked at her with a betrayed face. "You didn't tell me you knew Jungkook." He spit anger laced in his voice.

"You know him?! Why would I tell you everyone I know."

Jimin stared at her trying to read her face for any lies. He calmly walked over to her as she was too astounded to move.

"Storm look at me." He gently spoke. Storm carefully looked at him.

His eyes turned into a glowly green but his veins wasn't black. It was simply normal.

"Is Jungkook controlling you?”He asked her. Storm looked at his eyes inculcately for moments before blinking and jumping away from him.

"What the fuck Jimin! You're just like him! Stay away from me!" She yelled before running towards the door. Jimin roughly pushed her down to the couch prohibiting her.

"I guess Rosé was right about you." He calmly spoke before sighing.

"Let me guess, she in on this too?" Storm questioned. She was now more confident. If Jimin was going to kill her you would not catch her acting scared. She hated looking weak.

"What, look let's just both calm down for a minute." He said as he pressed his fingers on his temple.

"How do you know Jungkook?" She asked.

Jimin took a deep sigh before looking at her.

"He's my brother." He said coldly.

Her mouth opened in shock as she tried not to overreact. "B-Brother? The one he lost contact with?" She said to herself.

The room fell silent as Jimin looked at some unknown object with blank emotions.

"And what are you" She asked. "And Jungkook." She added.

Jimin silently looked at her.

"It's time I tell you everything from the beginning."

chapter 09

[flashyfucker]

i have SO MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT JT BEING PISSED AT TYSON ! like … after tyson opens the door thinking it was you’re takeout being delivered? maybe tyson just blinks a few times and jt just sees fucking red but just mutters “jesus fucking christ”, closes the door and leaves. i think you would maybe hear the slamming door and go see to the door to see tyson turn white and then maybe a little argument breaks out between the two of you? or maybe not but it’s a little tense because neither of you know how to proceed. you’ve been spending the night together for the couple of weeks since the events in longshot but you send him home that night anyways despite his protests. things are a little tense between you two for the next couple of days until tyson shows up at your door after morning practice the day of his next home game with fresh bruises on his face ?? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

so in my head like u said jt went over to your place to try to reconcile after their last home game, so maybe there was a day off for them and then an optional skate before their next game, so jt and tyson don’t see each other (nor speak at all of course) until the morning practice of the next game. maybe word spreads through the locker room about what jt saw at your apartment or maybe not but the tension in the air is THICK at ball arena and everyone is waiting for the other shoe to drop, to see who will snap first. mikko and burky and the rest try to keep the mood up even when the usual best friends aren’t even looking at each other, but maybe landy is putting two and two together as to why jt and tyson wouldn’t be speaking. he’d probably try to come up with a mature way to speak to each of them privately and separately before things get out of hand but oh wait ! gloves are dropping, and im picking up the vibe that jt just goes after tyson but tyson just kinda sits there and lets it happen ?? tyson can only imagine how it would feel if someone he trusted went and dated his sister but at the same time he does feel really strongly for you and respected boundaries for such a long time, and he never expected something to come out of an innocent swipe on tinder but it did and you were just as into the idea as he was. so maybe he takes a few hits, tries to defend himself a little just yo avoid any serious injury, but is mainly just letting jt get his anger out. landy probably lets this go on for a few minutes while everyone else is quiet and jt can be heard yelling at tyson. nothing exactly coherent but it’s mainly swearing and “why her?” until landy pulls them apart and tyson gets up off the ice while jt is still mouthing off about how “you could have any girl you want, why the fuck her? why my fucking sister?” and i don’t know i’m bad at dialogue so i’m imagining that logic procedes here and either coach kicks em out or they just continue practicing like nothing happens BUT ANYWAYS i just have a lot of feelings of protective jt not knowing how to properly deal with his desire to keep you from getting hurt from pain he knows hockey guys can inflict while tyson is simultaneously trying to deal with his growing feelings for you as someone he’s dead serious about while also wanting to respect your relationship with someone who is basically your brother

the "why her" part ?????? why does that physically hurt me????? i shld go to therapy /:

if we wanna turn up the angst, tyson's showing up at your place after getting his ass beat literally only because he doesn't wanna be alone. he doesn't wanna resolve conflict. he's upset and in pain and doesn't even wanna think about jt, he just wants to nap with you. he just wants your company.

and you open the door, stricken by the sight of him, obviously, bruises and cuts starting to darken and he's already been cleaned up, so there's nothing productive you can do other than hug him, bring him to bed, but your mind's rushing thoughts of how you can fix this mess.

and a half-formed thought falls from your mouth stupidly, dies in your throat halfway through by virtue of tyson's visible disappointment: "maybe we should pause this, with each other," the sight of him, busted lips falling open as he sits on the bed, slumps defeatedly, makes you panic, finish your thought quickly, "till we can sit jt down and talk to him. just till we can talk to him." and you don't know what difference pausing it would even make, it's a dumb thought, but it's all you can think of while you're flustered and angry at jt but understand why he's upset, all while the guy you think you could be in love with is bruised and it's partially your fault. you don't know how else to make this better.

"okay. can i still sleep here?" tyson's voice pits you, how small it is, how he's just going along with what you've said. and you nod, move to pull the curtains across while he climbs under the covers, but you're joining him in bed before you think better of it, humming when he tries to sound playful with "thought we were on pause?".

"i don't wanna be." is all you can manage, feeling a bit like you wanna cry for some reason, and tyson sighs "thank god. neither do i." as he pulls you close and it's so sweet but there's this nervy undercurrent of feeling like you're doing something wrong that's suddenly less sexy and more upsetting and UGH god u just want each other without hurting jt :/

[marunalu]

Bakugou having a mental disorder that makes him bully and hurt others is interesting but I doubt you belive this to be true since that makes hating on him for his actions against Izuku discrimination on grounds of a mental disability. A mental disorder means that his actions are beyond his control. Mental health isn't an exact science since there are too many variables hence why there is no definite cure for them. It's a bad idea to make him unwell. He should be accountable not given an out

The only “mental disorder“ I believe bakugou has in my honest option is his superiority complex. And thats not really classified as a mental disorder so I put it into “ “.

And to have such a mental problem is no excuse for his actions towards others. Bakugou is just an asshole most of the time, simple as that. There is nothing deeper about him! His stans come up with the most ridiculus theorys to justify bakugous actions and so they can ship him with his lifelong victim, because they dont want to face the fact that shipping an abuser with his victim is just plainly wrong and it really worries me that I have to say that in the first place, because that should be common sense!

There are enough people out there with an superiority complex who dont abuse and insult others or constantly scream bloody and murder if things dont go the way they want! Bakugous mental or personality problems are his own and nobody else should suffer because of it, just because he himself cant control himself or doesnt want to get help to learn how to control it. Lets be honest bakugous parents should have dragged him to a therapist the moment he startet to scream “DIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!!“ towards other people, because thats NOT a normal behavior for a kid. The moment bakugou startet to show his anger issues and that he was hurting other children with his quirk, mitsukis and masarus alarm clocks should have go on. Both of them completly fucked up in this regard, but at least mitsuki is fully aware now that she and her husbands made grave mistakes and she is not spoiling him anymore. Her son is a brat and an asshole! I get that japan has a “pride mentallity“, meaning they usually dont do something that can hurt their own or the familys pride, because for japanese people thats more terrible then death - but sorry if I had a son that is aggressive almost 24/7, hurts other kids, insults adults, shows zero respect to others and screams “DIIIIEEEE!!!“ 10 times a day - you can BET I would drag his ass to therapy out of fear he could indeed murder someone! And every parent should do that if they realize something is wrong with their child (bakugous bad character traits), no matter the nationality or culture! Im pretty sure most japanese parents wouldnt feel pride if their child hurts or even murders someone else - so fuck off with the pride bullshit and fucking help your kid getting a grip on himself!

Sorry for the rant btw and that my answer got a little out of hand 😅

[soldrawss]

Sol i need headcanons for the brothers, please im begging you

BRUH I GOT YOU

I’m currently working on some little fics for them BUT I CAN GIVE YOU SOME DETAILS BECAUSE I’M DYING TO SHARE

(Warning, gets a little dark towards the middle, but overall fine. Sorry for the long read. I went for a DEEP dive on the Age Gap Au)

Ace was put into foster care 4 hours after his birth. His father died before he was born and his mother died during childbirth. Ace had nothing to his name but physical traits of the dead (Like his father's sharp eyes and his mother’s freckles) He grew up with a need to prove himself and to gain something that truly belonged to him all on his own.

Sabo was placed in foster care when he was 5 because of an altercation with his abusive and possesive parents, involving him having broken ribs and running away.

Ace and Sabo met in a halfway home for troubled youths when they were 6. (They both had issues with authority and past placements in foster homes, so they quickly bonded over that, and decided to stick together ever since)

Their bond was so strong that ‘honorary’ brothers didn’t really fit them. They were brothers. And they stuck together and stood up for one another like it was them against the world (which sometimes it was)

They would often run away from the halfway home they were at, trying to earn a living on their own on the streets, and often commit petty thefts in order to survive. 

These little runaway trips wouldn’t last long though, because they were always caught by Officer Garp, a police officer that happened to have a knack for catching little runaways.

However tough Garp acted though, he had an incredibly big soft spot for these two little brats that were only trying to make their lives better. These two kids, barely 8 years old, who had so much hatred for the world because of adults in their lives that failed them. Adults that hurt them, giving them scars and bruises on their hearts just as easily as the scars and bruises on the little frames. 

After a particular runaway incident, Ace breaks down and confesses about all the horrible placements he and Sabo had been in before. How social services always judge Ace’s sharp eyes and label in a problem child, how Sabo’s quick wit always get him in trouble with the adults, how they both have scars and bruises from past foster homes they were placed in, and that's why Ace and Sabo runaway. They’re tired of getting placed in bad homes. They’re tired of having adults try to separate them. Ace is all Sabo has and vice versa because that's the only person in the whole world who they trust to not hurt them. And Garp thinks that’s the last fucking straw.

Garp, much to Ace and Sabo’s but nobody else’s surprise, adopts both the boys, and takes them into his own home. Because dammit, if they’re just gonna runaway, they might as well stay with someone who will at least love them enough to always look for them and bring them back to a good home when they do.

And it’s weird at first, because Garp is the rough and loud and nosey officer that used to grab them by the scruffs of their shirts and drag them back to that awful halfway home kicking and screaming. But then it gets better. Because he still yells at them, but it’s with a tempered and fiercely protective love it when he does. He still grabs them, but it’s just to pull them into a rough bear hug that they fervently pretend they don’t like. And every dinner is spent with tears of laughter in their eyes and cheeks warm with delight at the stories he tells them. (They call him old man with affection and he’s their father figure even though they treat him like their grandpa.)

Sabo joins his school’s baseball team! Which is so freaking cool! He’s a really strong batter, can weild a bat like it’s an extension of his own arm, and Ace and Garp are always the loudest cheers on the bleachers every home run hit Sabo makes.

Garp makes Ace take up boxing, because the kid’s got a lot of pent-up rage and aggression, and he figures it’s a good constructive sort of therapy for the rowdy brat.

The two still get up to mischief every now and again, though. Nothing illegal, but Garp is still having to wrangle up his two little idiots before they do something stupid. (They get into a lot of fights with local gangs because they have smart mouths and are still a little reckless)

Garp has a biological son that Ace and Sabo never met due to Garp’s and Dragon’s strained relationship. Garp had always bad-mouthed him whenever his son was brought up, but it was always with words that had no heat behind them, and Sabo and Ace could tell there was a sadness behind his eyes whenever he looked at the picture of his son in his wallet.

The boys were 10 when they got the news of Dragon’s death a week after it happened. Garp had gotten the phone call when he and the boys were watching some late-night trash tv on the weekend, and he had all but strangled the phone in a grip that turned his knuckles white. He didn’t say what had killed his son, (he never did), but he had told the boys he needed to take care of something, told them to pack up some of their things, dropped them off at his friend Newgate’s house, and got the quickest flight out that night.

He came back 3 days later, and when he did, he had a tiny little baby with him.

Ace and Sabo were no strangers to babies. There was always some snot-nosed kid that would get dropped off at the halfway home (and then adopted that week, because everybody loved babies), and they were pretty sure this baby wasn’t gonna be any different. Because babies were loud and gross and never stopped crying, and Ace and Sabo were prepared for the absolute worse.

But then they stood over the baby’s crib to get a good look at him, and the baby looked back.

And smiled the biggest and happiest smile Ace and Sabo had ever seen.

And Garp had said “His name is Luffy,” and Ace and Sabo had been hooked around his little finger ever since. 

Luffy was barely 6 months old, and was a bundle of chubby cheeks and contagious giggles. With big brown chocolate colored eyes that melted all the sharp corners and edges of Ace’s and Sabo’s hearts.

Because Sabo and Ace were the same age, and neither one of them felt like the older or younger brother. They were equals in every way. But it was different with Luffy. Because Luffy was tiny, and soft and could barely wrap all 5 of his little fingers around one of theirs, and it hit Sabo and Ace like a bullet train because oh.

 Oh this is what it was like to be an older brother. This was what it was like to have a little brother. And Sabo and Ace have always looked out for each other, of course. But Luffy was something they had to protect fully and with their entire being. His smile, his laughter, his heart. All of it. Sabo and Ace knew all the horrible things in the world, knew all the hatred and fear and heartbreak the world could throw at you and it was like a silent promise to each other they never verbalized, that Luffy should and would never have to go through the things they went through. He would never feel unloved. He would never feel unwanted. He would never feel like he had to prove his worth or reason for existing. (He was worth more than any price anyone could give anyway)

Sabo and Ace stopped getting into trouble. They got good grades, excelled in their respective clubs, and didn’t give Garp any reason to chase them down in his old cop car and bring them home. (They were always at home anyway, giving Luffy piggyback rides and teaching him how to ride a bike and do one-handed handstands and cartwheels, and basking in the warmth that was Luffy’s endless love) And they lived in peace like that for 5 years.

Then the fire happened.

Garp was a good police officer and an even better Deputy Chief, and for almost 40 years, he served on the Foosha County Police Department. He had put away a lot of bad guys and saved a lot of people in the process and was an honored and highly respected man. However, this also made him a big target and earned him quite a few enemies. He was 3 weeks away from retirement and spending most of those weeks staying at home, playing with Luffy, and ingnoring the last of his paperwork left on his office desk.

When the fire broke out, Ace and Sabo had just turned the corner from the bus stop on their way home from school. They had seen the smoke, but didn’t know where it was coming from till they saw the towering blaze of fire that used to be their 2 story home and the group of neighbors surrounding the outside. 

They managed to push their way to the front, hands shaking and eyes wide and absolutely breathless, because that was their house! That was their house that was one fire and where was gramps?! Where was Luffy?!

The only thing Ace heard Sabo whisper among the roar of the fire and the loud murmur of people around them was “Do you hear that? That... crying?” Before Sabo surged forward.

Ace didn’t have time to reach out and stop him, and by the time he could, Sabo had already disappeared into the open front door, which was covered in flames. He had screamed out, tried to race in and follow his brother into the flames, but the neighbors around him were quicker than he was and pulled him back. 

Edward Newgate, one of their neighbors and close personal friend of Garp’s was in the crowd, and he was holding Ace to his chest with an arm like an iron bar, as he was on the phone with the local fire department. (Newgate was also the Foosha County fire chief, and was shouting at his lieutenants to “get your asses out here now!’) But Ace didn’t hear a word he was saying. All he could do was struggle to get out of the older man’s grip, reach out for his brother and best friend, and scream his lungs out.

What felt like hours went by, and Ace felt like his heart was shattering into a million piece, the glass shards falling around him, as he sobbed into Newgate's chest, thinking he had lost everything. His home. His family. His only purpose and reason for living.

And then some of the neighbors were shouting again, only this time in surprised alarm and Ace looked up with hazy eyes blurred by tears, to see something was coming out of the front door.

And it could only be Sabo. Ace knew it was him before he could even register it, and bolted out of Newgate's grips that had slacked at the surprise and towards his brother.

Ace met Sabo only a few feet from the door, Sabo collapsing into his arms, and Ace had to pull him the extra few feet away because the flames were still too much to bear even at that distance.

And Sabo’s skin was hot and red and covered in smoke and ash alike. There was a giant welting red burn against the side of Sabo’s face that looked like it would leave a scar forever, but Ace was having a hard time focusing on it because he was too bust focusing on the bundle of blankets that Sabo was desperately trying to push into Ace’s arms.

And Ace was already crying before, but he began crying even harder when he removed the fold of blankets to reveal a muffled Luffy, covered in ash but unharmed, crying his eyes out. 

Sabo had a coughing fit that rocked his whole body, and burns that looked like they'd hurt forever, but he was smiling when Ace broke into a sob, clutching both Sabo and Luffy into his chest.

The firefighters and paramedics came a few minutes later, and they had to physically pull Sabo and Luffy from Ace’s arms to check and treat them. Luffy only ended up with a few mild burns and cuts on his arms and legs and some burning of his throat from inhaling so much smoke, but Sabo had to be taken to the hospital immediately for his burns, especially for the one on his face. Ace pleaded to let them all ride in the same ambulence on the way to the hosipital, and held on to Sabo’s shirt sleeve with a grip that would take the end of the world and then some for him to let go.

Sabo had to get some surgery and treatment to save his left eye, but he was all in all ok, and Ace and Luffy were allowed to visit his hospital room for as long as they needed.

When Ace finally confronted Sabo on why he had ran into the house in the first place, it was on the first night of their hospital stay. Sabo had a giant white gauze wrapping half of his head, and he looked at Ace with tired blue eyes that looked a little fuzy, still a little drugged from all the medication he was on to ease the pain. 

And Ace felt bad about it, he really did, because Sabo didn’t derserve to be grilled on the matter. Not after he had sacrificed himself and saved Luffy. Their little brother. Their little brother who they wouldn’t even have anymore if it weren’t for Sabo. 

But Ace had to know. He was so mad and heartbroken and scared out of his mind when Sabo had rushed in without word or warning. Because they had lost Garp. They had almost lost Luffy. And Ace could have almost lost Sabo too.

But Luffy was tucked underneath Sabo’s arm on the hospital bed, and Sabo just smiled at Ace with a patience that only Ace and Luffy could pull out of him, and patted the other side for Ace to join them. Ace climbed onto the bed beside him, and even with the two 15-year-olds and one little 5 year old, the bed didn’t feel too small at all.

Sabo explained that he could hear crying from the door and he just moved. Knowing it was Luffy before his mind could really think about the implications behind that. He confessed how the flames hurt at first. Hurt so bad, and it was so hot, and everything, from the floor to the ceiling, was on fire and he could barely see anything through the smoke. But he could hear Luffy’s little rough and horse scream, coming from one of the back rooms that used to be Garp's office, and suddenly all Sabo could afford to think about was Luffy’s crying.

Sabo would tell a watered-down version of this story to the cops in the morning, because they were Garp's friend and companions, and they only really needed the broad details for their report anyway. 

He’ll tell a heroic version of this story, lacking any horrific graphics, to an older Luffy whenever the eternally curious kid wonders and asks about it.

But he only ever told the whole story right then on that night, one arm tight around his baby brother in a toothed and protective love, while the other one gripped his best friend's hands with shaking and bandaged fingers hard enough to leave bruising.

Garp was long dead when Sabo found him. The smell of his skin burning off is something that will haunt Sabo for the rest of his life. (Sometimes certain smells will set him off. Uncooked bacon is not allowed in the house anymore after one traumatic morning when Luffy is six. Campfires are viewed and enjoyed from a distance.)

He was lying on his stomach, clutching something to his chest. Sabo knew it was Luffy by the cries, bundled up in a few quilts and one of this office rugs, and Sabo knew he had to get them out of there before the smoke killed them off like it had a personal agenda against them.

The heat was unbearable, Sabo had confessed, but it was nothing compared to having to drag Luffy from underneath Garp’s grip. The old man was built like a brick house, sure, but even in death, his grip on Luffy, protecting Luffy, like he was daring the world to take anything away from him, was steadfast and almost unbbreakable. 

It was the hardest thing Sabo had ever had to make himself do.

He didn’t look at Garp’s face. His body was burned black and bloody and raw, and Sabo couldn’t live with himself if his memory of Garp’s face was replaced by anything other than with the one of his scruffy beard and the shit-eating grin that he always wore.

When he pulled Luffy out, he didn’t look back, and raced out of the house as fast as he could. Something along the way fell and smacked him in the face, knocking him down at one point, but Sabo couldn’t pay it much mind. He got back up, and continued towards the door. He could barely see, barely breathe, with all the smoke and the ash, and the pain from the fire was almost numbing against his skin, but he didn’t stop.

All he could think about was Luffy, still struggling and crying against the blankets wrapped tightly around him. Next thing he knew, he was outside, and looking up at Ace’s snot-covered face.

Ace had never seen Sabo cry for the almost 10 years he knew him. He didn’t cry when he was 7, and the Anderson family had called him a freak and had sent him back after a failed foster home placement. He didn’t cry when he was 9, and broke his arm falling out of the tree in their backyard that Garp had told him not to climb, so of course he had to climb it. And he didn’t even cry earlier that day, at 15, when he was off medication and feeling the full extent of his painful burns.

So when tears started pooling out of Sabo’s pale blue eyes, falling down his cheeks and staining the cotton white blanket he was under as he told his story, Ace pretended not to notice, wrapped an arm around Sabo’s shoulders, and held him like it was the only lifeline in the world. 

Garp’s funeral was held the following week. Closed casket. All the police departments in the county, and even some outside of it, showed up to give him a full send-off. Ace cried for both Sabo and himself. Sabo spoke a few words for the both of them. And Luffy stood between them, holding both their hands. They explained the night before that gramps was gone, but they don’t think the notion of death really got through to Luffy. He was crying, but only because Ace was crying, and when he asked ‘can gramps come out of the box to give me a hug before he goes away?’ everyone has to clench their teeth and hold their breaths to stop their hearts from breaking. Sabo kneeled down to wrap Luffy in a tight hug. Ace covered his face with his arm and cried harder

(They never bother asking Luffy about how the fire started, or what happened that day. Luffy doesn’t remember, and they don’t push it further. The truth isn’t as important as Luffy’s mentality is, but Garp’s old squad promises that they won’t rest until they get to the bottom of it. And as much as Ace and Sabo want justice and revenge, they have Luffy to think about, so they leave it up to the police)

Sabo and Ace are almost 16, and they suddenly have no parental figure, no home, no anything, and suddenly they’re faced with the horrible notion that even more can be taken from them when a blast from their past threatens to take Luffy away from them too.

They’re no stranger to the foster care system, so when social services show up at the motel they were renting with Garp’s savings, they feel their hearts drop to their stomach for fear of the very real possibility that Luffy will be placed in immediate foster care, and possibly, so would they. 

Ace and Sabo jump into action then, because no way, no fucking way, were they gonna lose Luffy. They had lost everything else. They almost did lose Luffy. They weren’t gonna risk that chance again.

Ace was only a few weeks older than Sabo. Sabo hadn’t paused a second to jump into the fire, risking life and limb, to protect what little they had. It was Ace’s turn to be the heroic older brother. And on the day he turned 16, Ace petitioned legal guardianship and parental rights for Sabo and Luffy.

And it was hard, because of course the courts felt sorry for him, the grandson of one of the best police chiefs in the county’s history, begging the courts to let him keep what little family he had left together. The courts wanted to give it to him, wanted to help him. But Luffy was a child. And Ace and Sabo were practically still kids themselves. Asking kids to raise themselves was something no one should ask them to do. 

But Ace and Sabo fought for it. Ace was 16, and Sabo would be 16 soon enough. They could get GED’s, no problem. They’d get jobs, get a little apartment near Luffy’s school, attend any parenting and child service meeting required of them. They’d buy all the necessities over again and they’d love Luffy where no other foster family could even compare. They’d do everything, everything and anything, to keep Luffy. To let them stay together.

With a couple of vouchers from Garp’s old police squad, including one from an overly enthusiastic Edward Newgate and one from the boy’s homeroom teacher, Makino, the courts ruled in Ace’s and Sabo’s favor, and Luffy was officially theirs until they proved that Luffy was better off somewhere else.

Ace and Sabo were never gonna let that happen.

They got a little 2 bedroom apartment a couple blocks from Luffy’s elementary. They quit school, and worked extra hard to earn their GED’s within the following months. (With the help of their old teachers and a few of their overly enthusiastic neighbors)

Ace got a job at the local fire department, as a rookie in training under Newgate.

Sabo got a job at the local news station, writing reports on top of his interning duties. 

Ace eventually got a motorcycle that same year, which scared Sabo half to death and delighted Luffy to no end. It was cheaper than a car, and easier to travel to and from work on, and no matter how hard Sabo tried, he couldn’t come up with a valid reason why Ace shouldn’t use it to their advantage. So Sabo made Ace promise to always wear a helmet when riding it, and that Luffy wasn’t allowed to ride it until he was much older. (Which Luffy pouted about to no end)

And it’s hard at times, both of them working overtime just to make enough to support themselves and keep them afloat, but it’s good, and it’s theirs.

Luffy makes a friend on his first day of first grade named Zoro Roronoa, another kid that lives just across the street from them, and when Ace and Sabo know they’re gonna be late in getting home, Luffy goes over there and hangs out until they can pick him up (Which is totally fine with Zoro’s father Koushirou, a kendo teacher and single father of 6-year-old Zoro and 9-year-old Kuina. Zoro has a bit of a personality problem and often has trouble making friends (because the child doesn’t see a need to) so when little bright-eyed and endlessly joyful Luffy pops into their life, Kushirou jumps at the chance to have him over as much as possible, because the two small children seem to bring out the best in each other, and are best friends attached at the hip) Sabo and Ace are eternally grateful to the kind man)

A few years go by, and Luffy is 8. Ace is still working at the fire station and is now legally allowed to join them on calls and emergencies. (Fire used to make Ace nervous, because he almost lost everything to it. Now he has a personal agenda with it, to make sure it doesn’t take anything from anyone else)

Sabo has moved up the ranks now, and when he turns 18, confronts Ace with a rare job opportunity he was offered.

“It’s a year-long internship for this really cool company that reports and delivers high-class diplomatic information around,” Sabo starts, rubbing the back of his head like he doesn’t know what to do with his hands. “I’d be working as like, a cool undercover spy with diplomatic immunity and a messenger bag. It’s not dangerous at all, and pays almost triple my paycheck now, which would really help us out. But it’s overseas, and I’d be gone for a whole year. You’d be raising Luffy all by yourself, birthdays and holidays and skinned knees, with just the two of you, so say the word, and I’ll totally turn this job down on the spot.”

And it’s scary to Ace. Because he hasn’t been alone since he was 6 years old, and he can’t possibly remember a time when Sabo hadn’t been by his side. His best friend and brother. It was always the two of them. Two little runaways that found a home, lost that home, and then built a new home all on their own despite it all. And neither of them had ever been away from Luffy for longer than a weekend, so Ace was sure it would kill Sabo to be away from them for so long.

But he also knew that Sabo was only playing this off like it wasn’t a big deal, when in fact it was the job opportunity of a lifetime for someone like Sabo, a kid who breathed adventure and freedom with every breath. And that when he talked about it, his eyes sparkled with a joy that Ace would hate himself forever for taking it away. 

Sabo was giving Ace the choice, and Ace knew that Sabo would go along with whatever Ace decided without a second thought or complaint. But Ace knew that Sabo would regret it for the rest of his life if he didn't go, so he slugged Sabo in the arm, gave him his best shit-eating, confident grin, (the kind he used to give him right before they were about to steal some food as kids, or about to get into a fight when they were teens) and said, “You let me have a motorcycle. The least I can do is let you go road tripping abroad.”

Because Ace and Luffy would be fine. They’d miss Sabo like crazy, and Ace was pretty sure Sabo was like, 90% of his impulse control, but they’d survive. Sabo had the burn marks to prove how far he was willing to go for their family, and Ace had never thanked him for that. Ace was never gonna live that down, and was going to spend the rest of his life making it up to both Sabo AND Luffy, and prove just how good of an older brother he could be. This was the least he could do for them.

[taketheringtolohac]

i 100% believe miles comes out on tumblr like after rise of the ashes or something and everyone rejoices (this headcanon is sheer fucking gold btw)

Oh dear you’ve activated my trap card for this hc get ready for this because i definitely agree that Miles coming out is CELEBRATED on tumblr however it’s a LONG journey before he gets there. Before I get into it though there is a cw for briefly talking about suicide so please be mindful of that! It’s mostly in the context of the note post RFTA and people speculating what happened to Miles in his disappearance from tumblr, but I do talk about it so.

Ok here we go

So Miles is well known as That Guy on Steel Samurai tumblr who is absolutely insufferable to interact with but he writes good meta and writes even BETTER fics, but it’s the kind where something is obviously going on in this guys life and is he ok? Because it seems like he’s working through some shit and that combined with his ask answering sprees of outright denying he’s gay and just talking Like That on the internet people get a kick out of him and he’s JUST tolerable enough that people don’t really DO anything about it. He probably gets a call out post maybe like one time but it’s just by some rando who’s pretty new to the fandom and doesn’t get the sort of unspoken agreement steel samurai collective fandom has made to just put up with him despite him being absolutely dreadful.

But then all of a sudden Miles just... disappears one day out of nowhere. At first it’s just a day, then a day turns into a week, and a week turns into a month and people are like what the fuck? What happened to the iq of 127 guy? And people start writing WILD theories about what happened to him to chase him off the website because it’s like, 2016. But people start to get WORRIED when his longest running fic Updates it’s FINAL(!?) chapter and he just... kills off the Evil Magistrate. That’s when people are like oh my god did he? Did he fucking kick the bucket? Oh my god what the hell and he is just absolute radio silence on tumblr because surprise! He leaves the note in his office and then he also decides to leave tumblr at the same time because he really genuinely thinks that this is it for him.

HOWEVER. Miles also has a best friend in the Steel Samurai fandom. Someone who he met on tumblr years ago and who he enjoyed debating and conversing with who he thinks has very well thought out opinions on the show even if he doesn’t agree with all of them (he does agree with most of their points, which is why he was so open to their friendship in the first place). And they’re the ONLY person who he keeps in contact with while he’s in Europe finding himself after his breakdown.

That person is Maya Fey.

He and Maya became friends years ago and neither of them know who each other are or how old they are or really anything about each other except their screen names and more personal details that they choose to share over kik, which Miles only got because he was curious to know more about her and it was the only platform she offered. She was very hesitant about choosing to become his friend, but Maya’s fixer complex told her wow this is a broken man, maybe IM the one who’s gonna make him a better person and make him less awful. And for the first few years this had minimal success. She got him to say a few more slang terms, but really he didn’t change all that much. But she was consistently kind to him! And once you got to know him he really isn’t that bad, especially in those rare moments of emotional vulnerability he allowed himself (he was too afraid of being “found out” even though he had moved out years ago) and he could actually be a pretty fun guy.

It isn’t until Miles’s year in Europe when things really start to change. He had a very vocal crisis to her over kik that kinda freaked both of them out, and as I mentioned he stopped using tumblr entirely and Maya gets WORRIED about him and he just. Starts telling her stuff because he’s emotional. It’s the most he’s EVER told her and it’s still nothing TOO revealing because he knows how public his image is and he doesn’t want ANYONE, not even who he considers to be his closest friend, to find out who he is online because he doesn’t want to be seen as unprofessional or just general shame about his hobbies. And over the course of that year they just... slowly she keeps beating it into his head that he’s a good person! Or at the very least a FINE one who is trying to be good and that’s all that matters. And like he starts to just... internalize it. And starts listening to her advice about maybe going to therapy. And then HE starts listening to HER problems more and it becomes... a more mutual friendship. And it’s nice because he’s never had anyone like that! But he keeps talking about this guy who saved him and stuff and that’s when Maya is like woah pump the breaks dude we need to talk about how you’re definitely gay and he gets SUPER defensive about it but like over time he just. He starts to come to terms with it, and she helps him a lot but he does a lot of that work himself too.

And so when he comes back in 2-4 he’s starting to feel... better of course but also different? And more confident in himself. He still has a long way to go but he’s learning! And that’s what matters to him! But with learning and trying to be better he realizes something. He has to log back onto tumblr and actually like, apologize for being horrible. And he does just that. But when he logs back on he’s SHOCKED that he has HUNDREDS of asks a lot of them are the usual but a lot of them are also ones of like, GENUINE concern asking if he was ok and if he was still alive and he’s taken aback that people even SENT HIM kind asks when he was so awful to them.

Miles makes a really long apology/announcement post where he’s INCREDIBLY sincere and in it he OPENLY acknowledges that he was dealing with a lot of unresolved trauma and says something about how he came to terms with being gay in his absence and he thinks that that’ll be the end of it but within literal MINUTES of him posting that he’s getting asks telling him how HAPPY THEY ARE that he’s not only ok and doing better but that he came out and people WELCOMING him to the community and then there’s like posts that are like “And people then make posts like wow am I the only one who got emotional about the guy with a iq of 127s thank you post? anyone else? Just me? Ok (12.6k notes)” and “If the 127 iq guy can get better and learn to work towards being positive then you can too (54.9k notes)” within a matter of DAYS and seeing those and just

It’s weirdly SO validating for him that he was being cheered on by literally THOUSANDS of people who are celebrating his growth as a person! That are celebrating his COMING OUT when he was SO scared of that part of himself for SO long. And the fact that people were ROOTING FOR HIM even when he was the actual worst just. It makes him feel so good about himself and it makes him feel loved! So much so that he writes ANOTHER post thanking everyone for being so kind to him and telling them that things DO get better and there ARE people that appreciate them and it just... gets passed around because it’s a really inspiring and reassuring message and people just GENUINELY start to appreciate him. And it’s just a celebration of HIS character growth by THOUSANDS of people he doesn’t even know because man was he famous outside of his perceived sphere of influence due to the amount of meme material he ended up writing.

He still used tumblr and stuff after all this but he’s really calmed down a lot, he even rewrites the ending of his long running fic that caused people to panic about him. And he still answers asks and writes meta and fics and stuff, and he’s still MILES of course so he can be a bit of an ass when you disagree with him but he’s. Nicer. And happier. And that’s what matters.
