Cute Meet?

Started as a kinda character study and idk what happened, i'ma be honest. I haven't written anything with length in awhile, so feel free to leave cc and let me know what you think <3 Just a cute meet kinda scenario, reader is an anxious lil thing and Simon 'Ghost' Riley is obsessed upon first glance. Love? No, not yet.. but obsessed, yes. Word Count: 1.3K Pairing: Simon Riley x Reader/You Warnings: No warnings, no use of y/n tho Enjoy :))

Ghost is the keeper. Ghost is stoic, cold, even apathetic. Ghost can kill a whole platoon without batting an eye, can be covered in the blood of his enemies and be entirely uncaring to watch it flow down the drain once he has enough time to scrub the caked blood from where it seeped through his clothes. He is in charge, able to control his emotions effortlessly, able to lead. He is everything he needs to be. And then there’s Simon. Ghost is the keeper. Simon is the man beneath the mask who needs one. Simon is more akin to a stray dog than a human at times. Face hidden from the world, yet teeth always barred and ready to bite. Hidden behind a mask, a carefully crafted mask that is Ghost. A man with more scars than flesh, a man with more trauma than peace, a man who simply longs for the normalcy of life without a way to reach it. And then came you.

Ghost couldn’t care less for you. The mask is on as he’s on leave, shopping in a grocery store to get something to eat on while he stays in that damned motel for the next couple of weeks before flying out once more. The mask stays in place, a protection, a show the keeper is in charge. You don’t mean to run into him, you’re definitely not the type to go looking for trouble- you’ve had enough of that in your life, and you’re just starting to get your shit together for the nth time. But as you’re both leaving, you stumble, bumping right into him and leaving a couple of his poor bags strewn about on the sidewalk rather than carefully held within each hand. “Fuckin’ ‘ell,” Ghost grumbles with a sigh, clearly not pleased by the circumstances while watching a can of beans he had bought simply roll off of the sidewalk area and into the road- promptly ran over by a vehicle looking to park. No beans and toast now, british man. “I am so sorry-” You immediately apologize, the sheepish and embarrassed look on your face obvious as you dust yourself off and try to begin gathering the mess that you had caused. Ghost is annoyed at you. Just one look and he’s annoyed. But Simon? Simon is enchanted. The sweet, sheepish smile on your face, the way you scramble to help, the heat to your cheeks in your embarrassment as you scatter around trying to fix the situation. The way your hair falls and how you’re clearly nervous, but you still act anyway. You don’t care of how he looks- all brooding and intimidating with his hoodie over his head and the black medical mask over the lower half of his face. You couldn’t care less of that- you simply want to make things better. Simon notices that though. Simon remains frozen for a few moments, hidden interest in his eyes as he watches you scramble about, resorting your things just to have an extra couple of bags for his things. And you just hand things back over to him, the sheepish smile still on your face, the embarrassment clear- but gods, you look like such a sweet lil thing, lookin’ at him like he’s a human, a person. “��S fine,” Simon eventually spits out, taking the bags from your hands and glancing once more at the beans staining the roadway now, before turning to focus his attention back on you. He could let you leave now. He could, it’d be so easy. He could leave it at that and walk away, probably never hear or see from you again. I mean, hell, he’s only known you for all of 5 minutes, and it’s because you’re a clumsy little shit who fucked up his shopping. It’d be so easy so why does it feel so hard. “D’ya always ‘ave to make such an impression?” Simon quips out, readjusting the bags comfortably in his grip. You can’t even pretend not to notice his accent- it’s unusual for where you live, you don’t think you’ve ever heard anything like it outside of the media you’ve consumed. It’s pleasant, rings around in the ears for a bit. You finally meet his eyes, and gods, they are gorgeous. Deep, rich, brown- like chocolate with golden flecks scattered. Especially in the sunlight- like they are now- pools of liquid gold swimming about a chocolate river. “Ah- No- Um-” You struggle to find the right words, now your cheeks are warmer, and it’s less from embarrassment and more from the pretty eyed stranger you just fucking throttled on accident. But at least he doesn’t seem angry, so there’s always that. “I’m so sorry,” You settle on apologizing again, one of your hands moving to nervously run through your hair, pushing some strands out of your face. “‘S fine. Really.” Simon says with a slight nod, and you can feel the burn of his eyes as they trail over you. You can’t decide if he means it or not, though, he sounds oddly monotone for such simple words. “Still, I feel bad, I uh- I’m kinda clumsy at best,” You blurt out, sheepish smile on your face despite its softness as you glance away from him before looking back once more, “I uh- just wasn’t paying much attention to where I was going- a real bad habit of mine, honestly- which is surprising cause you’re kinda huge and hard to miss-” 

What the fuck did you just say?!Your cheeks heat up further, hands moving to gesture with your words now. You’re rambling, you know you are, but god did not give you the ability to shut the fuck up. “N-Not that that’s a bad thing! You’re uh- very well-built!” what the fuck you’re making it worse- “I-I mean- You uh- You have lots of muscle a-and that’s a good thing! And you have pretty eyes- always a bonus!” Simon’s eyebrow slowly lifts, his eyes crinkling at the sides. Simon’s been called a lot of things in his life- but he’s realizing at this moment that no one has ever called his eyes pretty. They’re brown. He can recall Johnny referring to them as ‘shit brown’ more often than not.  And you just look so fucking adorable- continuing to ramble, but he’s hardly paying attention to the words now, watching your cheeks get darker, your hands gesturing with your words, nervously shifting on your feet as you try to ‘save’ the situation. Such a precious lil thing, too pure for this world.

Simon was enchanted at first glance.

Ghost decides he could be, too.

A pretty thing like you? In this world? Oh, love, that’s just not safe. You’re a lil bundle of nervous, clearly. How’d ya make it this far? Who made ya like this? Unsure, rambling, nervous? Ghost wants to learn you. Wants to figure out what events molded you into this cute lil thing. You clearly need someone- he won’t judge, Simon needs him, too.

Ghost decides he wants to know you. Simon has made that thought known.

“You know what? I’m gonna shut up!” You finally say, voice a higher pitch and the heat being felt in the tips of your ears at this point as you take a step away from the masked man, who you know you’ve done ruined the chance to know with your inability to shut the fuck up.

“Tell me yer name before ya do,” Simon says, voice smooth like it’s the easiest and most casual thing in the world.

He’s so… quiet. He let you ramble and make an absolute fool of yourself- but now he’s actually wanting to know your name?

After you manage to knock yourself out of your stupor, you finally offer your name to him, cheeks finally cooling down a bit. Only to heat back up once he repeats your name in that voice of his, all low and gruff- says it differently than anything you’ve ever heard before- like it’s something important, something that matters.

“Simon,” He supplies, adjusting his bags in one grip as he offers a hand to you.

Simon and Ghost are two very different people who share this skin suit.

But they both decide you’re theirs.

Back again with some more Murder Drones stuff, this time just a bunch of OCs that originated from this universe! In order we have One, Zero, Three, Five, Rachel, and River! Just a whole bunch of fun lads! Also thanks to @pokeart123 for both Rachel's design and the original design that I turned into a drone for Five!

Also decided to write out some info on these lads below the cut cause why not!

One:

Part of a group of five disassembly drones, One was the self appointed leader of the team before things inevitably fell apart due to her poor leadership. This did little to stop her though, and she eventually reunited with and began bossing around a former team member of hers, Four (owned by @pokeart123). Together the two worked to carry out their mission to eliminate worker drones and humans alike, but an encounter with a "pacifistic" disassembly drone named Haniel led her to take up a new mission of hunting the traitor down. While not always one to think plans through, she is a persistent bastard and has mastered the art of beating her head against a wall until she accomplishes her goals. It would take the force of a god to keep her down for good, and even then it would be a struggle. Initially, she didn't give a damn about a single other soul, seeing even those she worked alongside as disposable. This changes when she starts working with Zero, who she eventually develops feelings for.

Zero:

Zero is a disassembly drone who has mastered the art of indirect combat and efficient elimination of her enemies. She is one to bide her time, learning the best and most effective methods to accomplish her goals. While relatively unskilled in hand to hand combat, Zero is incredibly knowledgeable in chemistry and has created a plethora of chemical weapons to weaken and dispose of those who face her. Every contingency is planned for and little comes to her as a surprise in any encounter, though she is not perfect and slips up on the rare occasion. While she is usually very deadpan and level headed, she can get rather heated when those she faces are able to best her. She typically preferred to work alone, though that changed when she joined forces with One, a drone she eventually grew to care for greatly.

Three:

Three was one of the disassembly drones under One's leadership alongside her twin brother Two (owned by @pokeart123). While she initially tried her best to stick with the team, One's poor leadership nearly getting her killed led to her her and her brother abandoning ship. Another drone from the group named Five followed not long after and joined them, and Three worked alongside them to survive and continue her programmed task as best she could, eventually coming into contact with a human named Samuel (owned by @lolatulips). Even being a disassembly drone, Three is a very friendly and spunky being. She can be a bit of an act before she thinks kind of person and finds herself needing to be bailed out a lot because of it, but she tries her best to handle her mistakes on her own. Despite her friendly attitude, she has no qualms with murder and will happily carry out killing any who pose a threat to her or her family. This leads to scenarios where she will happily have a conversation with someone she is actively trying to kill.

Five:

Another member of the number gang, Five was originally meant to be the leader of the small group before One snatched the leadership position away from her. Out of pure spite, Five decided that she was going to take a pacifistic stance, refusing to carry out any actual killing and living off of the scraps left behind by the rest of the group. She was eventually the last to remain of the original group alongside One and decided to leave as well, eventually reuniting with Two and Three. She still remains a pacifist despite having no actual problem with killing, purely out of the joy she gets from the idea that One would be so pissed if she ever found out. This works in Samuel's favor, or perhaps to his detriment, as when Five comes across him, she resorts to tormenting him in a flirtatious manor as punishment for nearly harming Three.

Rachel:

Rachel was a bit of a loner initially, that was before she was shot out of the sky by a worker drone named Amy (owned by @pokeart123). Despite having horribly damaged Rachel and having the chance to kill her, Amy instead spared her, much to Rachel's confusion. She would have run if she could, but her broken state left her stuck alongside this worker for far longer than she ever would have wanted as she waited for her body to slowly self repair. Initially she was frustrated and wanted nothing more than to leave, but over time she grew to enjoy Amy's company, especially after being alone for so long. By the time she was healed enough to leave, she instead decided to tail Amy, making every excuse in the book for why she was still around. As she does, she ends up adopting a very laid back and nonchalant attitude, playing off her care or concern in every way she can. Deep down though she cares a lot more than she'd ever admit, a trait that shines through in her not so subtle assistance towards Amy.

River:

River is an aquatic disassembly drone, a variant created specifically to hunt worker drones tailored to underwater tasks. His body runs hotter than a typical disassembly drone, so, alongside his need for oil and aversion to the sun, he is almost permanently confined to bodies of water to keep his body temperature down. Unfortunately for him, he ended up stuck in an old abandoned aquarium with little to no other water for miles. Luckily, however, he was trapped in the same place as Brook, an aquatic worker drone who claims to have known him before he was turned. While he's still a bit skeptical of this, he tolerates her presence as she keeps the aquarium running, in turn keeping him alive as he survives off of the fish in the aquarium to keep his systems cool. He can be a bit of a smug asshole who feigns aggression and "devious plans" to those he comes across, but he is almost always all bark and no bite. Besides, can't do too much unless the drones come in the water with him, and very few are that stupid.

Thanks again to any who traverse paragraph hell. I love talking about my blorobs so I always appreciate those willing to learn a bit more about em!

After quitting his accounting job at his father's company, Steve left the city and moved to the countryside where he used most of his savings to open a small ranch.

Steve enjoyed his farmer life until one day, some of his chickens suddenly went missing.

At first, he thought it was the foxes, but even after he locked the doors, and set up the traps, his chickens still went away the morning after.

Steve even rang up Hopper, a local hunter, for advice.

But for all the efforts, he still couldn't keep his chickens safe from the foxes.

Eventually, when nothing worked, Steve decided to step up his game and catch the foxes before they could steal his chickens again.

And then that night, Steve witnessed a rug-rag of a man carefully step around the traps, creep into the henhouse, and then creep out with a chicken tucked under his arm.

Steve was like????

Because a closer look revealed that that was Eddie Munson, the local carpenter who had given Steve several discounts on the furniture he had bought when he first moved here.

Every week, Steve would exchange some eggs and meats for some wood from Eddie.

In return, Eddie would help him with the fences and barns whenever they needed to be fixed.

Although Steve hadn’t known Eddie that long, he would still like to think they were friends.

Thus, seeing Eddie here felt wrong. Weird, but a betrayal nonetheless.

Steve just stood there, stunned, before he came to his senses and called out to Eddie.

"Hey! That's my chicken, man!"

Eddie turned around, slowly, and then their eyes met.

Steve didn't think he could breathe.

Those eyes seemed unnatural, they were black, red-rimmed, and too bloodthirsty to be considered human. He knew Eddie had always looked pale, but under the moonlight, the other man looked like a ghost.

"Steve?" Eddie gasped, looking as terrified as his stoic facial muscles allowed him to.

"Eddie…” Steve hesitated for a few seconds before pointing at the chicken under Eddie’s arm. “Why are you holding my chicken?”

At his question, Eddie remained silent and stood strangely still, almost like a statue.

Suddenly, a thought occurred to Steve. It couldn’t be, but since all the evidence was here, Steve couldn't lie to himself any longer. "Are you..?"

"What?" Eddie stared at him, wide-eyed.

"Are you the chicken stealer?" Steve squinted and watched Eddie adjust his grasp on the unconscious hen.

Oh my god, she had been passing out this whole time, Steve belatedly realized with growing concern.

"I'm sorry," said Eddie before quickly running away, leaving Steve behind to gape at his retreating form.

The next morning, Steve went to Eddie's place with two chickens.

Eddie had eyed the cage with a guilty look before sitting Steve down and explaining about his reason for stealing Steve's chicken.

Eddie had been stealing chickens to give them to his sick uncle who had been bedridden for weeks now.

The reason sounded off, but Steve still bought it because he didn't want to think about the alternative of why would Eddie need so many chickens in the first place.

But Steve's attempt to remain oblivious had sadly failed when Eddie moved in to live with him at the ranch.

(Why? Because they had become boyfriends after one year of flirting and sharing tender moments.)

He had caught Eddie drinking blood from a chicken one early morning when he went to check the henhouse.

"Wait, babe, I can explain!" Eddie, lips blood red and eyes midnight black, had held onto Steve's hands pleadingly and desperately.

And though Steve had half a mind to suggest Eddie give the ducks, gooses, pigs, and cows a try, he decided to comfort his boyfriend first.

He told Eddie that he had been trying to avoid this exact scenario because he thought Eddie would drop him and hightail away the moment Steve discovered the truth.

This time, Eddie sat him down again and told him about the real reason why he had stolen those chickens.

This time, Steve finally learned about vampires and the truth about his boyfriend.

This time, Eddie cried bloody tears when Steve reassured him that he wouldn’t go anywhere no matter who Eddie was or chose to become.

Still, there was this question that he had been itching to ask Eddie.

"But why the chickens?"

"They're tasty. Can't help it, man."

"Touché."

I've been thinking about this for the past few days and I thought you might appreciate, especially since you said you like cannibalism/vore:

Since RCT can pretty much heal anything (as we see very clearly during the Detention Center Arc with Sukuna fucking re-growing Yuji's hand and fingers) I was just imagining some sort of SukuIta/GoYuu thing where, since Sukuna is often said to be a cannibal (I don't remember if it's actually canon that he is but I've read it so many times that it's canon in my heart), his presence in Yuji's body eventually gives Yuji himself some craving for human flesh, and ofc our precious baby Yuji would do his best to not think about it and act like everything is fine even if normal food doesn't fill him up like usual anymore, until Gojo corners him about what's going on and Yuji admits to his problem- and Gojo gives him the most simple of solutions: for Yuji to eat him, since with RCT he can re-grow any limb and heal any chomp Yuji might take from him

I could see Yuji refusing at first but as his hunger increases he eventually caves in and oops, maybe Gojo likes it a little bit too much? Maybe Yuji also likes it more than he imagined?

In my head it all ends up with some fucked up, blood-tainted feral sex between the two of them with Sukuna watching super satisfied and maybe whispering in Yuji's mind and pushing him to act even more feral, which Gojo would absolutely love

I'm no writer so you can take the idea if you like it, I just wanted to share since I believe you might appreciate

You have excellent taste, anon! And you're definitely right about this being up my alley.

Sukuna being a cannibal is word-of-god confirmed (Uraume is his cook) and also very loud subtext. I'll need to reread the manga to see if it's been explicitly stated.

I do love this idea! It's kind of a running headcanon for me in scenarios where Yuuji and Sukuna coexist for a while. Among my posted fics, it's a developing theme in the Kidnapping Fic. A bunch of other fics/ideas also have different versions of this, iirc. Details vary, but Yuuji developing a taste for human meat and Gojou gleefully indulging it remain constant.

And @nearalways has got an idea that's very close to this scenario: Gojou courting Yuuji with prime cuts of meat and then, y'know, himself. I devoured their notes like a starving man.

Thanks for sharing the loving vore around 💗

Also, sorry it took me a while to get to this; I've been busy growling at JJK canon the last few days.

If it's okay can I please ask for another Poseidon X kianna

But where Adam intervenes and rejects the idea of her being with Poseidon

Because he believes that Poseidon will eventually get bored of her and kill her or break her heart

and he doesn't want his daughter being put through horrible pain again since he knew the abuse she went through and knows the trauma she went through and just wants to protect his daughter

Also in this scenario she rejects Poseidon even if she feels the same because Papa Knows Best

And the rest is up to you

A/N: Hello once again Nunez! I'll gladly write you another one of these, as I enjoy it very much and I don't doubt that you do too! I hope the way I've written your oc is right! Please enjoy this angst filled one shot~ <3

The tragic story of Amphitrite. 🤍

Adoptive daugther of adam oc x Poseidon

➩ kianna becomes the adoptive daugther of Adam, father of humanity after a difficult childhood, where she was abused so much she thought she could never be loved. Once she was old enough she started to isolate herself and finds comfort in the ocean and the sound of the waves.

With time she is able to recreate the sounds it makes with her voice and without her knowlage Poseidon god of the sea had started to watch over her and falls for her beauty. He wants to confess his feelings, but when he is about to do it, Adam steps in.

➩ Reader type: Oc x Poseidon

⚠: Unhealthy relationship, past mentions of trauma, abuse, physical abuse, scars from past abuse, kidnapping, forced relationship, eventual consent, cliffhangers.

In a town near the ocean side, lived a mortal woman named Kianna koromi.

She was a beacon of beauty, with her short brown locks, her singing voice like the waves, and her eyes, the color of the sun.

But Kianna carried scars beneath her robes, scars left behind by a past of abuse and trauma. Her stepfather had hurt her, so much in fact she thought she was unlovable at some point.

But despite the pain, she remained hopeful, finding solace in the gentle rhythm of the ocean. Once she grew old enough, she found a new family to support her which was Adam and Eve's family.

Then eventually rejecting society to live on her own and spending time with the sea. The only thing that brought her a peace of mind.

Unbeknownst to Kianna though, Poseidon, the mighty god of the sea, had been watching her from his watery realm.

Enthralled by her grace and resilience, he yearned to confess his feelings to her.

Gathering his courage, Poseidon emerged from the depths and approached Kianna one evening as she walked along the shore.

"Kianna," Poseidon spoke, his voice deep and resonant like the ocean's roar.

"I have watched over you from afar, captivated by your spirit. Will you grant me a moment of your time?"

Kianna looked up, startled by the presence of the god before her. "Who are you?" she asked, her voice tinged with both curiosity and caution.

"I am Poseidon, ruler of the seas," he replied, his eyes softening as he beheld her.

"And I have come to confess something to you, something I have kept hidden in the depths of my heart."

Before Poseidon could speak further, a figure emerged from the shadows, casting a dark cloud over the moment.

It was Kianna's adoptive father, Adam, father of humanity himself. Who had sensed a divine god at the presence of his daughter!

He was a gentle yet stern and protective man who had seen his daughter endure too much pain in her young life. He knew better than to let Poseidon out of all gods near her.

"Poseidon," Adam said firmly, his voice tinged with suspicion, "what business do you have with my daughter?"

Poseidon regarded Adam with a mixture of surprise and annoyance, knowing he would only be standing in the way.

"I come with the purest of intentions," he explained, "to profess my love to your daughter, Kianna."

"L-Love..?" Kianna stuttered, confused and shocked about what she was hearing. Poseidon loved her? They had just met!

Adam's expression hardened, his protective instincts flaring as thoughts ran through his head about what Poseidon could do to her.

"Love?" he scoffed. "Do you not hear yourself, Poseidon. A mortal and a god can never be together, at least not in your case."

"Wait father let me-!' Kianna tries to say something, to handle the situation herself but Adam raises his hand to her face, gesturing for her to be quiet.

He wanted her to have a say, but not right now, his top priority was to keep her safe.

"I know who you are and you will only bring her heartache and misery.."

Kianna listened to her father's words, torn between her own desires and the fear instilled by years of suffering.

"Father, please.." she interjected once more, her voice trembling with emotion, "let me just talk to him, okay?"

But Adam remained steadfast in his resolve, he turns to his daughter, face unchanging.

Kianna knew by just looking into his deep blue eyes that he felt bad upon Kianna's behalf for being unfortunate enough to get into this situation.

Since she has always found so much comfort in the sea. He was afraid this would ruin it for her, forever.

"I cannot stand by and watch you be swept away by the whims of a god.." he declared, reaching out to pull Kianna away from Poseidon's presence before it was too late.

And sadly, it was as it only enraged Poseidon by Adam interfering, the gods eyes flashed with fury.

"And who are you, to tell me what I can and cannot do, you foul mortal?!"

In a moment of uncontrollable anger, Poseidon seized Kianna and dragged her down into the depths of the ocean. Adam watches in horror as his daughter is dragged away and out of sight, speechless.

Meanwhile Poseidon casts a spell on Kianna quickly, so that she is able to breathe under water and not drown in the process.

As they descended into the abyss, Kianna felt a surge of fear and confusion hit her, hearing her father shout her name only for it to fade away the more they went into the depths. It scared her, terrified her!

"Why are you doing this?!" she cried out, heart pounding hard as she was struggling against Poseidon's grasp.

Suddenly Poseidon's expression softened, as hearing her pleading reminded his heavy heart of all the regret.

The memories all flooded back to the other times he has caused fear onto the people he had been attracted to.

"Forgive me, Kianna.."

With a wave of his trident, Poseidon teleports them to his temple, the water around them disappearing by magic.

Kianna hugs herself with her arms, shaking uncontrollably as tears fall down her already wet cheeks. She was a dripping mess.

"Why, why did you have to do this..?!"

Poseidon whispered, his voice laced with sorrow. "I cannot bear to be without you, but I can't see you suffer like this either.."

After Kianna had basically been kidnapped by Poseidon, he transformed Kianna into his queen, bestowing upon her the name being Amphitrite.

He took away most of her memories of the painful past, in hopes it would help her not only trust him, but genuinely relieve her of the trauma she had suffered from it.

Poseidon also makes up a fake story of where kianna now Amphitrite came from. That she was one of the 50 daughters of Nereus and Doris.

At last, Amphitrite would revive that love she thought she could never have or deserved but..in all the wrong ways.

Even Poseidon didn't let himself realize that.

Above the waves, Adam grieved for his daughter for centuries, haunted by the fact he had lost her to a god, gods which was something he hated more than anything.

Though her mortal life was lost to the depths, her love for Poseidon slowly grew on her and it turned into a beacon of light in the darkness of the ocean's depths.

She was starting to appreciate her new life, though there was something she hadn't forgotten.

He thought he would never see his precious daughter again, until Ragnarok when he was called to fight for his children. He wasn't prepared when he, just by chance saw a certain goddess.

Amphitrite who stood by Poseidon, his wife, decorated in the finest robes to cover up her scars. She happened to have the same yellow eyes, long brown locks of hair.

Adam had to smile at the woman, a mix sorrow and relief washing over him.

Could this be.. His lost daughter kianna?

"I'll fight for you too my child, I love you kianna, more than he ever will.."

HIII! I came to hunt you down from ao3 🪓 your fics are absolutely ✨️amazing✨️ I am a sucker for angst and you really cook the angst sandwich SO WELL. Thank you for writing these stories! ☺️ I saw you asked for prompts, and I have an angsty one brewing here if you'd like to hear it :3

I was thinking of a scenario where Muichiro and Tanjiro went for a patrol or mission or what have you together, and thats all fine lalala until they come across an UGLY 🤢😱😫 sight of maggots (idk how, maybe the remains of a human or animal caused by a demon or something). And since Mui has now recovered his memories, he gets super triggered by the nasty things because they remind him of those days he spent with Yuichiro's corpse and the maggots eating them both (thats such a nasty thought to even think about, the poor babies getting eaten by maggots 🤢🥺). So then he gets a full blown panic attack and gets really stressed etc since I dont think he actually sat down and processed his past and healed, yk??? but luckily for him (and all of us) the best ray of sunshine Tanjiro is right there to help him and give him the biggest hug to let him know that he isn't alone anymore like he was in the past 🥺 but ngl seeing Muichiro freak out also freaks out poor Tanjiro because he's so used to Mr Hashira being calm and collected and strong, and seeing Mui starting to proper disassociate as a trauma response to the trigger makes him freak out even more, another poor baby 😢 but he's determined and finds a way to help Muichiro through this (maybe he gets Shinobu's help or figures out something on his own)... so now Tanjiro sees a super vulnerable side of Muichiro, which Mui doesn't really like. but that eventually leads to an opportunity for Mui to fully share his past with Tanjiro because I remember that he only spoke about it a little in Bonfire and Marigolds? He's grateful to remember his family but he's not soo keen to go back to that space and face what happened yk? But yeah then the angst comes to an end with a lot of fluffy and cute happenings between the two :3 and Tanjiro becomes a safe space for Mui to be vulnerable in 🥰

Thats the prompt, i hope it inspires you 🥹 if not then thats okay, i just wanted to share this with you 💖 byee *runs away*

HELLO!!

first off thank you for hunting me down i appreciate it LMAOO

Second HOLY. SHIT. I love that prompt sm smsmsmsmms aaaaaa

in some of the wips I haven't posted, I did mention mui having a trauma around seeing maggots and them sort of representing his past experiences and omg you're absolutely right there is so much angst potential there

you've DEFINITELY inspired me!! as soon as I finish bonfires, or Marigolds I might move onto that one! I have got another muitan one I've been slowly writing at the same time that I might post first, however. but that is such a good prompt and God I love me some angst

thank you for this idea! even though idk who you are, I'll still mention it got this prompt from you if I post it!

and ofc i would love to receive any more prompts you have in the future!

On the wild, unlikely scenario this turns out to be canon, I’ll keep writing on the blog,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀𝗗𝗢 𝗬𝗢𝗨 𝗕𝗘𝗟𝗜𝗘𝗩𝗘 𝗟𝗨𝗖𝗜𝗙𝗘𝗥 𝗪𝗔𝗦 𝗧𝗘𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗧𝗥𝗨𝗧𝗛 𝗥𝗘𝗚𝗔𝗥𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗘𝗩𝗘 ?⠀⠀⠀⠀I don’t know what to think, honestly - could be either way. I initially believed he was bluffing + the show paints him as very devoted to his wife [ or gives that impression, I suppose ] but it’s just as likely that he was telling the truth, given Adam’s reaction. For this blog, I lean more towards it was just a bluff, but regardless, Eve / Lute doesn’t like to talk about it,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀𝗪𝗛𝗔𝗧 𝗜𝗦 𝗗𝗜𝗙𝗙𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗝𝗪 𝗗𝗢𝗖𝗧𝗥𝗜𝗡𝗘 & 𝗛𝗢𝗪 𝗗𝗢𝗘𝗦 𝗜𝗧 𝗔𝗙𝗙𝗘𝗖𝗧 𝗘𝗩𝗘 / 𝗟𝗨𝗧𝗘 ?⠀⠀⠀⠀It’s the religion I ( unfortunately ) was raised in [ note: I’m not in it anymore, as I’m agnostic ], & the one I reference the most.

Per JW doctrine, Adam & Eve were ‘perfect’ & once they disobeyed God, they lost what made them as such; the consequence of eating the fruit & gaining knowledge was to become imperfect, to gradually age & eventually die. They had the prospect of endless life, with perfect health & perpetually youthful bodies; they were perfect in mind & body. They were created for eternal life; I believe per Hazbin lore, Adam probably didn’t eat the fruit [ so he’s permitted to remain in Heaven, despite sinning as well ] - regardless, Eve / Lute clearly remembers Adam eating the fruit alongside her [ whether someone made her remember as such is up to debate ]

Eve was also the first one to acknowledge God by his name when giving birth to Cain, stating she gave birth with His aid; for the purposes of this blog, I interpret that as Eve & God having a slightly more special dynamic versus God & Adam,

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗗𝗢𝗘𝗦 𝗟𝗨𝗧𝗘 𝗛𝗔𝗧𝗘 𝗩𝗔𝗚𝗚𝗜𝗘 𝗦𝗢 𝗠𝗨𝗖𝗛 ?⠀⠀⠀⠀Canonically speaking? I like to theorize that she was either jealous that Adam held Vaggie in such high regard, to the point where he named her after ‘the best thing ever’; that, or she liked her romantically, but because such feelings [ toward the same sex ] are frowned upon in Heaven, she repressed such feelings + began to resent her, as if it was Vaggie’s fault. Those are just theories though! It could be that she’s just an equal opportunity hater, haha…

But for the purposes of this blog, well… in essence, Lute views all humans [ current & former ] as less than ( despite her being the ‘mother’ of mankind ) not unlike a disappointed & abusive parent. She also tends to project her insecurities / past mistakes & act of ( arguably ) inventing Sin onto literally everyone else. What Vaggie did was go against orders; for that, she is to be punished without mercy, just as she was. When she committed sin, she was immediately condemned - why wouldn’t anyone else?

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀𝗗𝗢𝗘𝗦 𝗔𝗗𝗔𝗠 𝗞𝗡𝗢𝗪 𝗢𝗙 𝗟𝗨𝗧𝗘'𝗦 𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗡𝗧𝗜𝗧𝗬 ?⠀⠀⠀⠀This largely depends on what Adam I’m writing with. My default canon is left ambiguous for this reason; personally I like to think he may have an inkling, but that’s it. It can go either way; Adam may be a jerk, but he’s not intellectually stupid ( … I don’t think so, anyway? ) so he could very well know Lute’s true identity & simply go along with the ruse; plotting is the way to go! Personally, I much fancy the idea that he doesn't know; I love me angst & drama!

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀𝗪𝗛𝗬 𝗗𝗢𝗘𝗦 𝗟𝗨𝗧𝗘 𝗟𝗢𝗢𝗞 𝗦𝗢 𝗗𝗜𝗙𝗙𝗘𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗧 𝗖𝗢𝗠𝗣𝗔𝗥𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗢 𝗕𝗘𝗙𝗢𝗥𝗘 ?⠀⠀⠀⠀Her current physical appearance is a result of punishment; in exchange to remain in Heaven, Lute / Eve lives in the physical appearance she died, from old age - this would include her hair & short stature [ graying hair & 'shrinking', as one does when elderly ]. Her skin is the result of the affliction of ‘specialized’ vitiligo [ as in, placed by her Father ] due to the constant exposure to celestial / holy light as she lives in Heaven.

Her skin literally burns off in the presence of divine light, being stripped of its’ healthy color [ which is constantly ], hence why she chooses to place her helmet & uniform on a lot of the time. Lute / Eve’s skin constantly burns & itches, she’s in constant physical discomfort; underneath her uniform, she has large white patches, peeling skin & burns,

Per 1 Corinthians 11:14 / 15,⠀⠀‘ [ … ] BUT IF A WOMAN HAS LONG HAIR, IT IS A GLORY TO HER? FOR HER HAIR IS GIVEN TO HER INSTEAD OF A COVERING, ’⠀⠀- as such, Lute dons short hair, signifying zero glory to her person, & emphasizes dishonor

—

You weren’t that much of a cake person, but if there was one cake you spoke about often (as often as one gets to the topic of cake with someone who doesn’t eat any sort of human food), then it was lemon cake. So, he decided to bake it for you for your birthday.

Now, whilst you were out cleaning the chicken enclosure and taking care of some other things outside Megatron forgot about, he stood mass displaced and ready to rumble in your kitchen. The utensils were ready (though with one wooden ladle in the bin because he had once again underestimated his strength), and everything needed for the recipe lay neatly on the counter. It reminded him a little of one of those Wes Anderson movies you had forced him to watch, and he both hated and begrudgingly loved how he saw the counting of the utensils and ingredients in the movies’ style in front of his inner optic.

“Alright then”, Megatron said to himself, clapping his hands together.

First, he read in the recipe, one had to preheat the oven.

Done, that was easy. “I can definitely do this”, he said to himself, but then read the second step: Mixing sugar and butter together was still fine, the texture seemed alright to him after the five minutes of mixing as described, but what was that about the eggs?

“Beating the eggs?”, he asked himself. Sure, he liked to beat something up once in a while, even now.

Sometimes you allowed him to punch some old trees and then you used the remains as firewood.

“You get to let out some steam and I have some firewood!”, you had said, “I think that’s a win win”

-But beating eggs? You humans did that whilst baking? And somehow the egg ended up in the bowl?

“Well then”, he eventually concluded. The best way to beat them so they end up where they should, he then thought, was probably to throw the egg in the air and then hit it directly over the bowl. And since his hands were big enough, he threw the two big eggs needed for the recipe in the air and sliced them in one go. A lot of the yolk and egg white ended splattered on his armor, on the floor, on the walls and even on the ceiling, but there seemed to be enough in the bowl for it to be satisfactory. “The eggshells probably also give it enough sustenance” he said to himself and smiled. Beating those eggs was quite satisfactory, he hoped he could do more of that in the future. He was sure you would be delighted by his cake.

Two hours later

This was not the kind of delight Megatron imagined you having for his cake.

“What are you laughing at?!”, he almost screamed, seeing the tears of laughter streaming over your face, “I beat those eggs like nothing has ever been beaten up before”, but that only made you laugh harder.

“He beat the eggs up, he beat the freaking eggs up oh my god”, you wheezed, lying on the floor, “I can’t breathe!”

The Devil

The last thing I need to know, it feels, before the rest of the plot settles well enough that I can bridge the gaps safely, is what the devil wants. So I will ask and answer myself some questions in the hopes of getting closer lesgo!!

How aptly did he take to the mantle of Kronos? Really well, he’s one of the few who managed to fully merge to the point where Kronos Dawnbringer cannot be separated back out into his constituent parts. Other examples include Hera, the Virgin Mother, and Apollo, the Right Hand.

How well did he integrate the Sin of Pride? While for some demons their sin is closer to an affliction, such as for Spariel (Wrath) and Beletriel (Sloth), the older association between Lucifer and his Sin that existed even before Greek influence allows him to exist with it more peacefully, presenting more as a character trait than anything else.

Regardless, I need to define how these aspects of his personality influence his desires. Both in his general scenario, and, importantly, what he wants to do about the arrival of Spariel and Elise in Tartarus.

The Lord of Time(s past)

While the indignity of defeat, of death, at the hands of paltry children was once overwhelming, time wins in the end. As the Olympians are hijacked by these new evangelists, the mind of a fallen angel has barely shifted his priorities. To avenge himself, to take the throne from Zeus will be nothing but easier if the new host of that body believes in his divine right. The higher power, however, that has come to claim a greater throne, while they are welcome to whatever Heaven they care to invent, they should not interfere.

The sword, the one that should not exist, would be sufficient to the task, and her brother easy enough to influence with whispers through the mouths of hid lieutenants. The most effective one landing side by side with the girl that has grown up around the blade is near enough serendipitous. She seems easily strong enough in Spariel’s hands to return them all to Earth and place him in his rightful throne. The last that remains is to make sure that the blade cannot be turned against him, in any eventuality.

God’s Once (and Future) Favourite Son

These new children of God’s are so craven. Now that he knows the experiences of this Titan King, the way they cowered before him is not worthy of God’s respect. Jesus sitting next to their father, smiling and saying how he would gladly take their weakness upon his flesh, to make them something closer to pure for their Heavenly Father, that he would bring to them the Fire of the Holy Spirit to teach them to be as angels. While the Olympians are petty replacements to him, they were right to have cast Prometheus away before the humans deified him.

Even the further generation of the divine, behind God’s back as it was, is tainted by human filth. God must fear it for a reason, though. The blade may be sheathed in a human soul, but if it is wielded by an angel, the purity of purpose may be enough to slay the fallen Father, as his own self has done before.

[grandlance]

COOL ok time to talk about quiri’s views on the master of chaldea. 

so, for reference, he gets to rank 5 bond within a grand total of uhhh 15k bond points. normal romulus takes a total of 50k to reach bond 5, for reference. 

he keeps talking about rome and romance, even more than romulus and ok that’s sorta obnoxious, but also it’s really ominous when it’s put in context of who quirinus is. a "two faced god", a war god who is preaching love as if he’s venus or some shit and he is very much not. not that venus isn’t also really petty at times, but that’s for another time. 

quirinus is also in chaldea because of a bond he forged with the master of chaldea when olympus was happening 

nemo: "it's possible. let's try it. if the divine spirit triton and the heroic spirit nemo commit there all, it's certain" --> ???: "that isn't necessary" ???: "o small child of the great sea. i shall create the path" ???: "i am romulus become as quirinus, a friend to those who cultivate the world" quirinus: "though the strength in this flesh is obligated still to a use hereafter, i give it forth" "i here commit the entirety of my divine essence that remains; the entirety of my authority to see you to your destination"

yeah he’s supposed to be as yeet as anyone else who gave up a saint graph in olympus ⎛ and in theory, it's the concept that grand servants all get the solomon effect, where they do something incredible and then erase themselves? ⎠ yet, he’s called back ⎛ should the master summon him. i always function under the assumption that the master has Everyone for writing purposes ⎠  

the rapid bond that quirinus formed with the master of chaldea started in olympus. now, his bond 6 to 10 ... that’s a really slow bonding. it boils down to the nature of quirinus as a chaotic neutral. he already reached the 5th bond without even being anyone’s servant, which was like a survival play for the worst case scenario — he literally cheated total destruction. the part where someone really gets to know him, that’s a long and hard road. not to say that he won’t be loyal to the master of chaldea ⎛ he will be! ⎠ but opening up is going to take a while. as he bonds more, he will reveal the truth about himself. by bond 10 he’s very likely enamored with his master and it isn’t just the rome romance sort of love, but the real deal. a one of a kind genuine love. that’s why his bond CE is..  

The starry sky... Countless sparkles scattered across the night sky. And a pair of someone's arms are held out, extended, as if embracing that brilliance in its entirety.

You think: Those must surely be the arms of the supreme god you know.

You see: That those are the arms of the supreme god...

And you know: That those arms will eventually reach the skies, and they are the arms of the supreme god who formed a contract with you...they are arms that work for you, and they will work for whoever comes after you. They represent tomorrow...the future...

The arms are love... Romance... A human's dream given form.

by bond 10, quirinus very much cares for the master of chaldea and is willing to share something very beautiful with them, which brings me serotonin thanks for coming to my tedtalk

[fullscoreshenanigans]

can never be on the same page with this one sry 😔 I hate this theory with passion lol these guys abused norman's bloodline for hundreds of generations I just think it's v unfair to see him as one of them even if there's .001% chance that the old ancestor lady got boned by a rat (or any woman down the line received Ratri dna) to see him and associate w/ the oppressing side instead of his mother's bloodline doesn't feel right at all (via @1000sunnygo)

I kept meaning to send you an ask about this so you could dissect all the ways you hate it ldfkjsd I'm admittedly a sucker for the angst, in the same way I ignore the Lambda sickness cure so there's more opportunity for hurt/comfort between him and his family. That anger of being even more connected to the people who hurt his family than he already was by virtue of being a human born in the demon world, and using that hatred as more fuel for his plans before eventually finding a kind of peace within himself. Being able to acknowledge what happened in the past, but not letting it consume more of his time than it already has because he is so much more than their sordid legacy, and instead putting that energy into creating a future for his friends and family where they can create endless memories together filled with hope and love.

Also the idea of Mike or other members of the family having the fucking gall to claim him as part of the clan after everything contributing to his anger here:

(Chapter 181.4)

In scenarios where the kids don't achieve the financial means to search for Emma as thoroughly or as quickly as they would like, I enjoy him grappling with the idea of playing ball with them to make his family whole again.

Alternatively, another scenario that's easier to work into canon is the Ratri clan realizing Norman's lineage when the cattle children arrive in the human world, also prompted by the databases at Grace Field sparking further investigation with a DNA test. Once it's confirmed, they keep pestering Norman about leaning into this kinship and actively working for them, along with having his family and friends seemingly on good terms with the clan for some PR optics. Norman finds the idea insulting and revolting, but he can't ignore the benefits that would come with it. Like some other fans, I greatly dislike Norman becoming a CEO during the final major timeskip, as well as Lambda sickness being conveniently treated with no chronic aftereffects and absolutely no issues with them integrating into human world and being welcomed with open arms by everyone. I understand Shirai wanted to wrap up the series on his own terms after years of dealing with the strain that is weekly manga publishing, and he needed an explanation for how the kids could easily fund their expeditions to search for Emma, but oof, do I hate it lol. All of these remain a concern for the cattle children here, and while the Ratri clan wouldn't outright abandon them if he refused, Norman wouldn't put it past them to drag their feet on certain matters. Their finances and prestige shield them from any misguided resentment some people may hold for them. Their connections are a boon for securing future educations and careers. And god would it expedite the search for Emma. I like to imagine a late night benefit-cost analysis between Norman, Ray, Don, and Gilda taking place at some point after they've settled in enough. The other three reaffirm that if Norman felt it was going to kill his soul to work for the Ratris, his friends and family would stand by his refusal, but they would be remiss not to acknowledge the pragmatism in further solidifying the relationship (particularly poignant coming from Ray, though not completely analogous situations). The conversation drifts off for a bit before Norman, looking exhausted across the table they're seated at with his hands on his knees, states, "I want her back with us." Working with the clan would be odd in so many ways with how they would laud his status as a cattle child and how he was taking the lead on amending relations between the Ratri and the cattle children while never wanting to fully interrogate what that meant. There's a hierarchy with Norman at the top and the mass production farm children at the bottom in many of their minds. At one point in private after a publicity event someone says offhand, "you can cover that up now, you know," referring to his ID. Even in the winter he tries to make a point not to wear scarves or turtlenecks when he knows he's going to be around them.

I also share a lot of overlap with @emmaspolaroid and believe the female ancestor we see in the flashbacks is related to the Ratris in some way (default to her being a cousin) so it's more of a distant connection to the family:

(x | x | x)

Doubling up with the "Matilda is Norman's biological mom" theory, I also default to him being related to the clan through his mother.

(Chapter 127 | Chapter 141 | x)

[mythgirlimagines]

This is an idea I've had in my head for some time, a silly little Honkai Impact AU where Kokichi becomes the Herrscher of Death. Whether he wants to or not.

For some context, the Honkai is a force with the goal of destroying humanity. To accomplish this it creates Honkai Beasts (creations of the Honkai, they come in a variety of forms and classes) , zombies (what most corrupted humans become, fodder), and Herrschers (corrupted humans but better, the strongest of the Honkai's forces.)

The awakening of a Herrscher usually causes a great disaster, with the minimum damage being the annihilation of one city and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of civilians, that's when the Herrscher is brought down quickly (as in, only a few hours.) If the Herrcher is alive for even a few days that death toll will skyrocket, possibly becoming millions of casualties.

The 6th Herrscher (the one Kokichi eventually becomes) has the ability to manipulate life and death via manipulating matter. He can create plant life, spawn a dark mist that kills humans within seconds or immediatly (I believe it can be resisted if someone has Honkai resistence and an anti honkai gas mask, though standing around in it is a terrible idea nonetheless.)

The most notable aspect of the 6th Herrscher would be his regeneration, it is implied in Secrets of the God Keys (A Honkai Manga) that it took a nuke to bring down the 6th Herrscher, presumably due to her regenerative abilities. A fraction of this regeneration is shown when Sirin (who was in possession of the gem of serenity, an inferior version of the 6th Herrscher's core) possessed the power to regenerate her impaled heart. Since the gem of serenity is an inferior version of the 6th's core, then that means to kill the 6th you would need to destroy his/her entire body, which is what was done with the 6th Herrscher of the Honkai 3rds previous era. They had to nuke her. (Also, her core still survived the nuke, meaning she could have been revived had someone stolen the core and implanted it into another host. There was enough of the core left intact for MOTH to create the 6th Divine Key which holds a portion of the 6th's powers.)

Finally, when a Herrscher is born the host is usually taken over by an additional Herrscher persona originating from their core, if the host embraces these Herrscher powers then both personas become one. (I don't think this is meant to be interpreted as DID.)

Now that I'm done infodumping on the Honkai lore here is the scenario. The event that causes Kokichi's awakening can vary, sometimes I thought that the deaths of the DICE members would push him far enough for the Honkai to corrupt him, other times I think that he's had this power for awhile but actively suppressed it because he knew the Herrscher persona was bloodthirsty despite it wanting to protect him as it's host. Let's go with the first scenario.

The gruesome demise of what was essentially Kokichi's family allowed the Honkai to take over with ease. Leaving it unclear if Kokichi's humanity even remains after the fusion of the emotionless and calculating Herrscher persona who will stop at nothing to purge every single human involved in the death of his precious family, and the emotionally crushed human Kokichi who no longer has the willpower to resist the Honkai, and becomes one with the Herrscher within himself.

Meanwhile, Kaito and Maki, two humans who have been augmented by the Future Foundation to possess powerful Honkai Abilities, are pulled out of class by a FF agent who informs them that a Herrscher has awakened in the cities' outskirts, and that they must prepare for battle. Their classmates, unable to mind their own business, are brought with them to seek shelter within a FF base. Which is where Kaito breaks FF protocol and tells them about the Honkai, much to their horror. Little do they know who the cause of the eruption is...

Thoughts? Headcanons?

my only thought is that I don't know anything about Honkai so this makes no sense to me ^^' sorry

[croutonconfidential]

thinking of danny phantom aus and just headcanon stuff

pomegranate rules: eat enough ectoplasm/become contaminated enough and you will be stuck in the ghost zone(yall come get your Persephone hades au)

frozen au: Elsa! Danny and Anna!Jaz, Danny at his coronation as ghost king accidentally does some stuff that jeopardizes the kingdom out of pure anxious nerves

what if clockwork had a human alter ego and his sole income would be from predicting lottery numbers and stock prices making him practically the god of wall street, no one wants to play poker with him and he does palm reading on the side just for fun as a treat (only he can't read palms but as a time ghost he literally is omnipotent barring time stream altering events, now if only he would give clear advice and not cryptic sestinas)

pirate and merman au: mermaid shifter Danny, his parents are still scientists and want to study 'the humanoid fish monsters' only this is like the eighteenth century so their tools are just nominal torture devices and to escape he stows away on a ship, but it sinks, but he turns into a mermaid and lives! there he meets other mermaids and deep sea creatures but they don't like him for being only half a mermaid. it takes a while and meeting both jerks and nice people in equal measure but eventually he learns to embrace a piece of his identity fully. skip forward to 'x' amount of time later and he finds out that his sister set sail to find him but somehow became a pirate along the way. they meet and they talk there's feelings everywhere and Danny after so long just being a mermaid finds balance as a mermaid shifter with a foot on the sand and one in the tide but never far from either

coffee shop au: dan must do community service as a means to make up for his crimes, it's in the form of a coffee shop (somehow)(don't question it). but apparently he gets a little too into it and when someone asks why he's still there his response is 'what do you mean I've completed my community service years ago?' so in the end he's just some ghost with a magic coffee shop that shows up everywhere(maybe across dimensions even cough cough dcxdp crossover nudge nudge cough cough)

funny summons scenarios: one book said the summoner needed two hundred cursed idols arranged in a circle, they use Furbys and it works. Danny is terrified when he sees where he is and as a consequence his eldritch powers affect the electronics within the dolls and sets them on fire which terrifies him even more. it's a vicious cycle that only ends until he's burned them down into slag

dcxdp de-aged Danny: somehow Danny is de-aged maybe it was some accident from when Danny was helping clockwork clean his house or something, or maybe the Fenton parents made an ectoplasmic vacuum and sucked away some of Danny's ectoplasm causing his body to use its remaining mass to stabilize itself by making him a kid again. and it will be too hard to explain so cue jazz running away to Gotham with Lil Danny so their parents don't dissect him because this kid can't hide his powers for the half-life of him. and somehow she bumps into Talia or Bruce (take your pick) they hit it off while talking about kids and somehow it ends up as a scheduled playdate while Jaz also somehow becomes eligible for more programs (totally not through the good-hearted intentions of a super-secret assassin or gothic detective.)

dpxdc childhood rivalries: the Fentons went to college with this guy named bruce it was a shame he left so soon into the school year but they got on really well and even stayed in touch on and off through the years which led to lots of playdates between their families. but in dicks case he was a circus kid he could do a heckabunch of stuff and jazz even when being much younger had a competitive streak a mile wide it was a lighthearted competition but they both knew there could only be one victor. only Danny at the time just thought it was regular fighting, he and Jason had a sword fight only they used the antiques off the wall (Alfred was very displeased). by the time Tim came around the Fentons had fallen out of contact for a bit but eventually they go introduced to Tim hew as nice but between college student Jaz fourteen and a half Danny that still had to come to terms with half dying it wasn't great but it was a fun summer eventually. it's a Fenton Wayne family rivalry at this point and when Damian comes along and hears about it trust me when I say that it has been on site ever since. Danny drinking his coffee? stabbed. only for his opponent to either bend out of the way or just walk away just before he stabs Danny and Danny just says 'nice swing'. Danny sitting on the couch in the library reading a book? he's dropping down from the curtains only to be snatched up like a kitten and shown memes on Danny's phone instead. and when Bernard comes into the picture just witnessing all these feats of skill and ingenuity, and this is it. this is what makes him think that 'oh god these guys could be the batclan but wait whos this guy then?' Bernard searches but gets nothing and at the point where he just asks Danny to his face about which vigilante he is, and the response? "oh that was like three or four years ago, I'm retired don't tell anyone though my secrets is so illegal and dangerous you don't even want to know' and best of all is the Fentons, they are all clueless. they have no idea that the Wayne family is the batclan. it's a surprise to Danny but the thing is that he can't even consider it after all dick screamed at finding a caterpillar in his hair, Jason sneezes like a kitten and sure he might have the rage to put ten heads in a duffel bag but that dude? no, he gets sympathy pain from the tiniest things, it was like he was the one getting stitches rather than Danny after their failed sword fight. and Tim Tim? the guy that drowns in his oatmeal and once he gets to his eighth red bull starts speaking in ones and zeros? no none of these people could be vigilantes at all. and don't even think about saying bruce is batman the 'butts match' was a shitpost eight years ago and no one wanted to talk about bruce's butt, especially after the incident of '98 there was so much blood, also Danny remembers bruces thirty-second birthday, it was an escape room and the only way they all got out was through complete dumbassery and somehow abandoning their left socks, not. a single brain cell was used that day

[caxycreations]

This one's for you, @walugus-grudenburg

Losing his will to live can kill Wario? Oh boy, let me tell you a story...

Goku has cost the following people their will to live at some point or another, and even if they recovered they still, at one time, lost their will to live over something:

Emperor Pilaf

Mercenary Tao

Tienshinhan

Zamasu (it's canon he felt he was unworthy of being a God and therefore deserved death entirely due to one lost match against Goku, for a moment, before his ego took over and he changed his opinion entirely)

Vegeta (literally by just being stronger, Goku pushed Vegeta to train so hard he hit his limit, and it's canon Vegeta still felt so inferior that he just didn't care anymore whether he lived or died)

And you say Wario can lose his will to live if he loses all his money, yes?

Goku can maintain SSJB for several minutes (as shown by the ToP being 40 minutes long and Goku and Vegeta using SSB for roughly 10 minutes out of the tournament, grand total) despite the absolutely massive stamina drain, and can remain in SSJ permanently if he chooses.

Goku as a child was running the Red Ribbon army in circles, and, as I stated before, nothing Wario can do is beyond the ability of the Red Ribbon Army. So, based on that we can pretty safely assume Goku is going to beat any effort Wario makes, which is where you get the idea of a stalemate: Goku beats Wario's attempts, Wario just keeps trying, this repeats forever, yes?

But it wouldn't. Because look at what happened when Red Ribbon tried it: Goku eventually got sick of it, hit the limit of his patience, and went on the offensive until they were nothing but remnants. Tatters of what they used to be.

Wario's tenacity would prove his downfall, simply because Goku would get tired of it and, eventually, rampage through every last facility Wario has, destroying them all until nothing was left, and with Instant Transmission he could easily find Wario no matter where he goes. Either Wario loses his will to live out of fear (Nothing is scarier than a god-like being that can crush you with one hand teleporting to where you are no matter how fast or how far you run) or he loses his will to live because he'll never, ever recover financially from the losses Goku has incurred.

Either Wario dies of fear at the absolute horror that is Serious Goku, or he dies of despair at the sudden emptiness of his bank account from needing to pay off cleanup fees, repair costs, replacement costs, and having to build whole new places (which Goku will undoubtedly destroy as soon as he's aware of them) until his bank runs dry.

Goku's endurance is so high, in Base Form he could easily fight for hours on end without breaking a sweat if it's against machines and contraptions like Wario's.

That said...I could still see a case for Wario winning in one scenario.

Goku not seeing him as a threat.

If Goku fails to perceive any danger, and does not expect any danger, he is as vulnerable as any untrained human. So if Wario went with a truly lethal contraption that did not APPEAR lethal until it struck the deciding blow, Goku would lose outright.

But so long as Goku is aware there is malicious intent, or perceives any level of danger, his guard will be up and Wario won't be able to win.

I think, in most cases, you're right; it would end in a tie.

But I can absolutely still see cases in favor of Goku.

Okay, I've been nerd sniped, I'm sorry

So let's go through the canonical likelihood they could each beat Goku. For the sake of keeping canon, we'll keep groups/pairs together if they would never reasonably be apart for something like this.

So first up are the ones I see that would, without a doubt, beat Goku.

Saiki K

Saiki is an omnipotent psychic/psionic with quite literally every single possible power out there. Now, this on its own isn't enough to beat Goku. Versatility doesn't mean everything, but Saiki is also powerful enough to rewrite the genetics and reality of everything within range, and his range is, so far, "Earth".

So this, on its own, would allow him to rewrite Goku's biology to make him Human. Bye bye zenkai boosts, bye bye Saiyan transformations. And Saiki, with his powers, has no trouble beating a Human of any caliber if he truly wanted to. And for those who ask "Why would he ever fight Goku?"

One simple reason: Goku would sense his immense power, and be excited for a fight. Goku is respectful enough to not force one if he's refused, but he's persistent enough to badger Saiki until he's given a chance. And Saiki, being Saiki, would simply take off one of his limiters, or both, and rewrite reality as such: "Being an alien isn't possible", thereby making it effective immediately that Goku must be lying/insane, and he is, in fact, Human. Easy win for Saiki.

And for those who would argue against this, bear in mind, the funniest way to beat Goku in this instance would be to simply make him weaker than Saiki, and Saiki is a gag character from a gag series, and it's already been shown in the world of Dragon Ball, and again in Dragon Ball Super, that Goku is incapable of defeating a gag character regardless of that characters canonical ability.

Saiki could win without gag character status, but even in the instance of Goku "beating" him, the gag would turn out to be that Saiki only pretended to get beaten, and is actually entirely unharmed because it was the easiest way to get Goku to leave him alone. Followed by a reveal that Goku will still show up now and then to ask for sparring matches, to drive the point home.

Popeye

Gag character. Would get beaten handily, crawl his way to spinach, and then be exactly as strong as he needs to be to take Goku down in however many hits is funniest.

Bugs Bunny

The gag character to end all gag characters. Someone on this hellsite once described Bugs as a "Trickster God who traps us in our own societal expectations" or some such. Like convincing Thanos to remove the Infinity Gauntlet by establishing a security checkpoint with a metal detector and shaming him into cooperating by telling him there's others waiting.

He could beat Goku in a billion ways, and each and every one of them would involve some shenanigan like Goku throwing a spirit bomb, Bugs showing up behind him holding it, saying "Ehhh, can you hold this for a second?" and as soon as Goku takes it and Bugs is off-screen, it would explode and Goku would be a pile of ashes with blinking eyes. Bugs would win because Bugs' gag is that...well, he simply can't be beaten.

The Warner Trio

Gag trio. Yakko, Wakko, and Dot would snark, sass, and sarcastic-joke their way into the scene, and they would spend the entire time poking fun at him, roasting his look, being unfazed by his attacks because "Nice laser show but we didn't bring our glowsticks." and just being too unbothered to care.

They would undoubtedly annoy Goku into admitting defeat simply to get away from them.

Road Runner

Gag character. Would force Goku to chase him, Goku would fire some blasts, chase him around, and inevitably be led right into the path of a blast he fired earlier to be disintegrated by it.

Pop Team Epic

I know nothing about this series except that it is a gag series. They are gag characters. That means Goku is inherently incapable of beating them.

ASDF Guy

Gag character. Could beat Goku with a simple "Hello, Mine-Turtle!" or "I like Trains."

Heart Diagram

Goku was literally killed by a heart virus in Future Trunks' timeline. This is one that has actually canonically already killed Goku.

Chowder

Gag character. Would likely be after S-Cells for some recipe and need to take Goku's as he's "The only Saiyan in this episode!" or some such, thereby ending the fight with a shot of Chowder wearing Goku's Gi for comedic effect while Dahl stirs raw Super Saiyan aura in a pot to hint that Chowder killed Goku for his S-Cells.

Force Ghost Trio

Gag versions of serious characters, and also ghosts. Goku is canonically unable to beat ghosts or gag characters, and these guys are both.

Those are the ones that would, without a doubt, beat Goku.

Now, let's go over the ones that could, potentially, be it likely or unlikely.

Kirby

Kirby is often considered a gag character, but he isn't. He has a very specific level of power, even if that level of power is "fuck you" levels of power. Kirby has beaten Gods, but so has Goku, even more often and with greater ease. However, Kirby has absorption and power-theft. Kirby could, potentially, absorb Goku (he isn't the brightest and Kirby has his unassuming appearance on his side) and take on his strongest form, including its powerup, and given Kirby in base form is likely more powerful than Goku in base form (Goku needed SSJ to scare Supreme Kai, Kirby beats Gods in base), it's possible Kirby would be more powerful than Goku with the same power up.

Kevin McCallister

Okay, hear me out.

Kevin is technically a gag character, BUT. He is not TRULY a gag character. He just happens to be a comedy character.

So he isn't guaranteed to win, but he could still possibly do so. How you ask?

Goku has been somewhat injured or lightly shaken by the following: planet-shattering attacks. Punches that rock the universe. Energy blasts so potent they would destroy entire galaxies.

Goku has been rendered inconsolable from the pain of the following: chest pain and a half-heartedly, boredly tossed pebble.

It is canon that when Goku and the other fighters in the series are expecting an attack or primed for battle, they are protected by their ki, like armor. It's how they're able to knock away attacks that would destroy planets, or put their "bare" hands on plasma energy that would normally burn the skin off you from a mile away let alone touching it.

This is why when Krillin threw the rock at Goku, it left him in agony and bruised him despite Goku being in Super Saiyan form at the time. This is why Chi-Chi is able to injure Goku regardless of how strong he gets.

So, how does this relate to Kevin being able to beat him? It's everything. It's critical information.

Kevin McCallister's entire M.O. is unexpected attacks. You open a door, you see a bucket fall, think it's over, turns out no, second bucket pulled by the first, second bucket is full of paint and open, you're blinded, you get your bearings, you take a step and feel cars, you smirk and step over them only to find marbles, you slip, you land on the cars which turn out to have been rigged to break easier to let loose a single thumbtack which is now firmly stuck in your back or butt. You bolt upright only to slam your head on a 2x4 that was rigged to hang down from a rope when you fell because your impact shook things enough to make it fall from a precarious perch above.

You get the idea. Every time you think it's safe to let your guard down, that's when the next wave hits. So you say "well he would stop letting his guard down" right? You fool. You know nothing of Goku. He would never put his guard UP. This is a human child, Goku can sense his pitiful power level. His strength? His speed? His ki? Weak. Pathetic. Nothing. A scouter wouldn't even register his power it's so low.

Goku never raises his guard to Chi-Chi, or to Bulma, or to Hercule. He does not raise his defense against normal, powerless, non-combative humans.

"BUT KEVIN IS COMBATIVE" No. He isn't. Goku can sense intent, power, and location. But Kevin isn't actively intending to hurt Goku. He's intending to protect himself and his home. He's not actively wanting to hurt Goku, he's just wanting Goku to leave. He doesn't have power to threaten Goku with, so Goku won't pick up on any threatening aura. And while Goku could simply instant transmission to Kevin and do what he will, we're not talking about how Goku could win, we're going over the fact Kevin could POSSIBLY win.

Enough injury and Goku is down for the count. Otherwise, Goku leaves to avoid further injury, and thereby admits defeat. Both cases, Kevin wins.

Shedinja

This one took me...quite a while. I had to do a lot of extra research for this. So, my immediate thought was Shedinja is a Ghost type, so ghost rules, right? Nah. Bug and Ghost type, and they are the physical shell left behind that has been reanimated. So they very much are physical beings, and given their ability to faint in the games and show they are capable of being physically damaged.

But There's a real case to be made for Shedinja beating Goku.

It can learn Ghost type moves, which operate on ghost-logic, and therefore are a canon weakness Goku is known to have. So things like Shadow Ball, Hex, Curse, and the like would all effect Goku regardless of Ki or form.

It also has access to Wonder Guard, which renders it "immune to all damage types that are not Super-Effective". For those unaware, we can actually attribute Typings to Goku's moves based on attributes and traits they share with Pokemon moves. His melee is, by nature, Fighting type, which Shedinja is immune to. In fact, Shedinja is immune to ALL attack types except Flying, Rock, Ghost, Dark, and Fire type moves, which are all Super Effective.

Goku's most common methods would actually fall under Fighting and Normal type attacks. "But his Ki blasts-" would be Normal type moves. You want proof?

Focus Energy is Normal Type. Quick Attack is Normal Type. Self Destruct is Normal Type. Techno Blast is Normal Type. Tera Blast is Normal Type. These are all energy based moves similar to ki blasts. Know what other energy based move is Normal Type? Hyperbeam. Which is almost identical to the Kamehameha and every other beam attack in DBZ.

Those few attacks Goku has that aren't going to be Normal Type will be Fighting Type.

Shedinja is Immune to all Normal and Fighting Type moves. Goku literally can not damage Shedinja, but Shedinja can damage Goku through Ghost Type moves. Shedinja can beat Goku. But why is it not "absolutely will" beat him? Because Goku can also transform his Ki and if he finds out Shedinja is vulnerable to fire, he can and will use that to his advantage.

That's who could potentially beat Goku. Here's who absolutely could not.

Kingdom Hearts Mickey

K.H. Mickey has a clear power limit and ability set. He is not strong enough, fast enough, smart enough, or durable enough to beat Goku, but he is just enough of a threat for Goku to actually put his guard up, which is why K.H. Mickey would lose; Goku would see it as a fight, unlike with Kevin.

Crash Bandicoot

Crash isn't nearly powerful enough to be a threat to Goku, but he IS insane enough to push Goku to hostility. Goku would feel the need to put effort into getting him away and that is his downfall.

Hatsune Miku

Goku would assume she is a Red Ribbon android and fight her on assumption she's trying to kill him or bring harm to Earth. He would hit her full force expecting her to tank it and she would keel over dead instantly.

Wario

Everything he could possibly do, the Red Ribbon Army has tried and done better, and they've never beaten Goku. Neither would he.

Sans

Lost to a child with slightly above average human determination, and standard human strength and speed. He does not beat Goku.

And just because you specifically told me not to @ you, have this :)

The Brilliance of Break On Through

Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Mission Break on Through—An Analysis

I have replayed the campaign of COD:BOCW numerous times—too many times truly. Did a whole playthrough where it was Hardened and soon I’m sure I shall do Veteran(something I have never done for any COD game. Not even Hardened.).

All missions have their own unique qualities—parts where the player gets a little rush of adrenaline depending on the kind of mission and how they choose to play it (Nowhere Left to Run just a plain shooting match while Brick in the Wall you can choose to remain stealthy like the good spy you are or go crazy like an eager homicidal maniac).

Even within the safehouse, there are plenty of little details to discover if you take the time to look around and observe everyone. Or, everything. (The radio if turned to a Russian station/correspondence, Adler changes it back immediately before Da Nang mission. Watching Park’s body language, as you talk to Adler and she periodically looks over to you two. Adler suspicious when you go to the Red Room or the locked room with the arcade. The T.V. being turned on in the Red Room)

But the amount of details, details, in the mission Break on Through is outstanding. I have played this mission more than any other due to me wishing to look at all the details. There’s so many, I think I may miss some. And I can’t show them off all to you cause I suck at creating gifs and don’t know how to transfer that from Xbox to my phone.

To lighten it up a bit, I won’t focus on the four different scenarios you go through—at least not each one. That would take too long and I do not have gifs/pics to show it off since Tumblr limits it to ten anyways.

I will, however, try to guide to what parts of the game you all can explore if you choose to do so. As well just how detailed they did this mission.

I am going to start with the different statements Adler says to you throughout all the Scenarios(17, 6, 11, 1). We only go through four in the actual game—but the fact it goes up to 17 or possibly more shows just how far they went in and messed with Bell’s mind.

Now, Adler seems to be a bit bipolar on how he talks to you whether or not you listen to him and all his directions. Either totally blasé and cold to giving you and pumping you up with more MK or meds, or actually a tad concerned and patient as he guides you through.

If You/Bell Stands Still/Does Nothing:

Example 1

“So you did nothing? What were you, in shock?”

He throws the words callously, mocking. As if Bell isn’t confused and lost at what is going on. He even sounds irritated that you might actually be in shock due to these memories that are just fake—not even real. Not like what he has.

Example 2

“What’s wrong with Bell?” -Adler

“I’m not sure. . .” -Park

“I guess we’ll just wait on you to proceed, Bell.”

The contrast is dizzying. He sounds concerned when he asks Park on what could be wrong with you. If he pushed you too far and now you’re just frozen. And, instead of rushing you due to how the fate of half of Europe is at stake, he decides to give you space. Just wait for you and you’ll come out of it soon enough.

He does these sort of reactions numerous times. Jumping from intimidating to the Adler we knew as the player, as Bell—kind and always in your corner that believes in you. He switches tactics based on what he believes will work really—or he just felt really on edge at times and threw the farce that you two were friends out the window.

Other examples include:

Scenario 11–Napalm Strike-in the lab in the room where you were brainwashed

“Christ, what’s happening with them?”-Adler

“A mild seizure. Sims, past me a benzodiazepine.” -Park

Again, concerned. Worried. Almost…at unease?

In the lab—tripped up on drugs. If you run through the tight shrinking hallway back and forth like so(I suck at making gifs, I’m sorry):

“Why is Bell repeating themselves?”

Or

“Bell, stop speaking in circles.”

Now, as others may have suspected, Bell is talking to everyone as they’re stuck in this horrible loop of mental torture. Most likely muttering, hands clenching and arms pulling against the straps of the gurney, moving their head back and forth depending on what they’re seeing. I always saw Bell as muttering quickly in Russian as they go through all of this—their mother tongue where it may comfort them as they’re panicking and speaking to Adler.

It’s just a nice detail showcasing how exactly Adler knows that Bell is on script—Bell saying what they’re seeing and doing and what’s going on. It shows also just how hard they put Bell through the ringer(badum tss. I’ll leave now).

All the details too when the game shows how the drugs they put in Bell affects you. Like so. The hallways appearing long. The lights looking yellow. You feel so fast—look how quick you can run. Run towards the Red Door that Adler so desperately wants and maybe this can stop. Ah, why is it running away from you? What’s going on?

I don’t know about you, but I was so lost and confused at what was going on my first playthrough. For the majority of this mission, the possibility of me being brainwashed didn’t reach the BACK of my mind till probably I actually saw the flashes of scenes about Vietnam and calling Bell a subject. So like right here.

I personally thought that I had a repressed memory or something due to me going through the Vietnam War. That whatever I saw with Perseus, I—or rather Bell—repressed it from our mind due to how violent or horrible what we saw or experienced was. And that Adler suspected and just really wanted to know about it.

I didn’t expect for the man to actually brainwash my character—us—Bell! The game made Adler your mentor, who always defended you from Hudson and believed in your skills very highly. How he and Bell were basically perfect partners when the two of you were together.

It’s amazing—cause I think that’s what the developers were going for. The absolute trust. The loyalty. The denial that ‘maybe Adler is being a little harsh but hey, this is to help Perseus so it’s okay?’ It’s perfect. Because I’m sure that is what Bell actually felt in real time.

Yet, if you go through the total rebellious choice of not listening to Adler, some thing’s make sense. The Rebellious Side shows you way more than if you just listen to Adler like a Dutiful Soldier.

You go through this room if you choose the rebellious route, the T.V.’s automatically turning on the closer you get. Of Vietnam. And now, all those T.V.‘s that turned on by themselves(the Red Room, Lubyanka, Cuba) make sense. You were actually being brainwashed. Poor Bell probably can’t ever have a turned off/broken T.V. again. The trauma.

Said trauma being shown multiple times too. Not just the T.V.‘s. But the absolute terror that Bell felt, before they became Bell, with Adler.

Like do you see this? This terrified me when I saw it at the end of the hallway. I just saw a red shadow in the distance and I legit thought I was about to be chased. Call of Duty became a horror game(I also went through the door to the ground too my first playthrough, so before this I went through zombies and I think my heart was going to jump out my chest) I thought. I didn’t want to get closer. I had to, with each step I see that it’s not a shadow but a body. And than I see the familiar jacket, the sound of whirring in my ears and see it’s Adler’s head being twisted back and forth, side to side, up and down, in a speed that in inhumanely possible.

Makes one wonder if Bell themselves sees Adler as inhumane. Not human. Adler seeming to just be a god in their head. All the Adler shaped rocks/boulders you go through and see. Even one point the V.C. becoming Adler and you killing him over and over and dead bodies of Adler being everywhere.

The man has entered Bell’s head and won’t leave. Just like Adler won’t leave Bell alone.

Heck, there’s one point in my playthroughs of this mission I was by the bridge yet there were parts of the lab by it. I jumped towards it, noticing down below there were different floors of the lab that eventually reach the ground. I jumped to reach the next floor and missed and I died.

And Adler mocked Bell committing suicide.

That was the kicker really that Adler truly is indifferent towards Bell. Like complete disregard. I know it’s fake. We know it’s fake. Adler knows it’s fake—but to Bell, it felt real. That’s the crazy part. All of this—this whole sequence feels real to Bell so each time they die they actually feel it. It’s insane. It’s cruel.

But we all know that Adler isn’t known for his kindness. Still like his character though, he’s layered.

I don’t have the exact quote he said, didn’t wrote it down like the others. I was shook he said it at all.

Moving on to the final details I’m going to talk about.

When you go through the room, I believe this comes out for both rebellious and dutiful, really depends. You see it filled with post it notes, articles, plans, and newspapers. And you see once more just how Bell has been scarred.

I don’t know Russian or German, but I imagine the notes are similar to what the English one’s say. If I’m wrong, please point it out.

There’s also post it notes which I believe is in code as well due to all the numbers—I’m not sure what those could mean since I am no decoding expert.

Poor poor Bell. And with all these pictures and plans—of Adler included—it begs the question that Bell may have been warned about the famous America’s Monster beforehand. Had to have—since Adler is basically Perseus’s adversary due to how stubborn the American man could be. It just adds more to the story, despite Cold War having quite a short campaign, they made it up somewhat with all these details everywhere.

When you finally and actually reach the room.

As you grow closer to the table, to your chair in the conference room while everyone else seems to have their own spots, there’s something I noticed.

There’s glasses. As well as a hat. And it’s Bell’s. Or at least, it used to be. Why else is it on their side of the table? By their chair? I believe it might be reading glasses due to all the decryptions Bell does, whether on paper or through a computer, it’s hard on the eyes. (I’m sure I’m not the only one who noticed this. For look at @second-vtoroy ‘s Bell)

I believe through the brainwashing, Bell might not need glasses anymore. After all, apparently they were a smoker like Adler before too but they took that out of you. What else they changed of Bell? It makes one wonder how far they truly went into molding a person.

Which just adds onto how mind boggling this mission is—this game is. This is my favorite COD game, despite how short it is. The details and choices and interactions with everyone and able to create your own character(albeit it’s very standard and not specific but it’s good enough for me) is AMAZING. I’ve always been a sucker for RPG’s and able to get that even a little in a COD game? Truly wonderful.

I couldn’t touch on everything because it would’ve gotten long, but the fun of the Break on Through mission never gets old. It’s genius multiple ways you can do it. All the details. The feelings you feel as a player as you go through it.

They truly did a unique job with this and I hope they continue with this type of game storytelling. Hopefully longer as well.

Anyways, hope you guys enjoyed this rant basically!
