#in fact they probably taught him more lessons by being able to talk

[frownyalfred]

Most of Bruce Wayne's issues would be solved if he held his kids as babies, Yay or Nay?

Hot take but nay. While it’s cute and the fandom loves the idea, I don’t think him seeing his kids as babies will teach him some sort of lesson on vulnerability or sacrifice that he hasn’t already learned and/or ignored meeting their older counterparts.

Kids don’t magically fix people, and neither do babies. Yes, sometimes they help us realize things. But to put that onus on them even unintentionally gives them more theoretical power than they actually have. Like when people swear having a baby will save a relationship and the world will change once that child is placed in your hands. Would it really? Or do we just hope and wish it would?

Any headcannons about Will Solace? he's an underrated bby (I think?) and I personally hc that he used to be a very moody kid but then decided to turn off all of his negaive emotions (most of the time)

oh i have SO many Will Solace headcanons built up from writing him on Deadangelos so much. Below the cut cause this is very long (and tumblr started glitching about the list format so manual it is):

- His roles at CHB are basically "Every possible medical personnel Ever™." He's camp medic, physician, surgeon, pediatrician, pharmacist, psychiatrist, therapist, dentist, optometrist, veterinarian, etc etc etc. Technically Chiron is also All Of That, but ever since Will joined camp most of the responsibility falls to him (at least in part because campers generally feel a bit more comfortable dealing with somebody their own age versus an immortal centaur), and Chiron just mentors him on it (unless they're running low on hands, in which case Chiron does pitch in, and sometimes the other Apollo kids help staff the infirmary if Will needs. In the past though it was usually just Chiron and whichever camper he pulled in that week to do first aid training with. Mr. D only really handles therapy stuff if Will isn't able to for one reason or another. Will gets very individualized training and has has own schedule separate from the rest of his cabin to account for all of that. Chiron basically personally took Will in under his wing as his apprentice and a not insignificant portion of Will's personal training is gross anatomy lessons with Chiron in the camp morgue. Will does not question where Chiron procures the cadavers for that. He probably should. They aren't campers. They are sometimes demigods, but not always. Most of the rest of camp doesn't even know there's a morgue, let alone that Will does gross anatomy dissection. It's not technically a camp "secret," Will isn't secret about it at all, but most campers treat it like it is and like to use it to try and spook new campers. The ones who find out about the gross anatomy portion and that there is exactly zero information about how Chiron is procuring cadavers are Mildly Concerned.

- Photokinesis and plague powers Will are both extremely fun. I love making him a son of Apollo Smintheus specifically and giving him pet rats and/or the ability to talk to rats and mice. He thinks they're soooo cute and is definitely the type to brag about how intelligent rats are. I also like to think he maybe had a pet snake at one point, like a big ol' boa. Will with a sunglow boa or something? yes? (I also just in general love the idea of Will's house back in Texas being a cute little ranch cause Naomi is rich and also a cowgirl and Will having a ton of different animals over the years. He probably originally wanted to be a veterinarian before he settled more on medic.)

- I just generally love playing with Will (not-so) subtly being the exact opposite of what people would expect from an Apollo kid. Initially he looks like the gold standard for an Apollo kid - sunny, friendly, chill, medic/healer, interest in science/arts/fandom, etc etc. Then you speak to him for more than 20 minutes and find out he loves snakes and rats and guts and gore and is fascinated by disease and mold. He takes gross anatomy classes taught by Chiron. One of his favorite hobbies is just dissecting stuff. He's into vulture culture. His idea of a perfect date is holding hands over a cadaver he is actively cutting into and passing the other person cool stuff he's fishing out. Also he's very vocal about thinking monsters are hot and the combo of all of that is exactly why he's into Nico. Everybody else thinks Nico's inherently cursed or something? Will doesn't mind being cursed - in fact he wants to be cursed, for science. He's swooning over the idea of Nico sacrificing him for some dark ritual in the middle of the night. He daydreams about Nico being a vampire that's gonna romantically kill him. The rest of camp is waiting for the day Will does something stupid and gets himself killed like, flirting with a monster (or the Hades kid) or something. Nico just generally doesn't know how to feel about the whole situation but is? (hesitantly) flattered?? that somebody is enthusiastic about him while recognizing and appreciating his Underworld aspects. Will is out-weirding him, somehow, and Nico never knew this was a thing that could happen.

- Related to that - I have a whole headcanon about "Bad Omen" demigods, which are basically the other main CHB cabin's versions of Hephaestus kids with fire powers being bad luck. For Apollo kids their "bad luck omen" super rare power is a plague-powers kid, and Will showed up during the Titan War, just a couple months before the Battle for Manhattan when nearly all his cabin died. He is very acutely aware of this superstition and fully believes he is a bad luck charm for the cabin and feels SUUUUPER guilty about it and so hides his plague powers. It's not that he feels bad about his plague powers specifically - he thinks plague stuff is really fascinating and his powers are cool and can be used for healing too! - he's just really concerned about how others will view him. (Very strong parallel dynamics between how Will views his plague powers vs the stigma around them & how Nico views his Underworld powers vs the stigma around them. They are handshake emoji).

- TTC implies that Apollo kids are more often than not summer-only campers, and I think it's fun to have Will's backstory being: He may or may not have "accidentally" caused a plague/pest outbreak at his old school early into the year and between that school having to shut down for a couple of months because of that and his mom maybe going on tour, they decided it was time for him to move to CHB and go there year-round. Except he goes from Texas to New York in the middle of winter and he's a son of Apollo, so he gets there and it's like sleet and slush and all cold and he's the only Apollo kid at camp and he hates it so bad. He eventually gets used to it but it is awkward when all his siblings come back in the spring/summer to find they have a new youngest sibling who's just been chilling all by himself for a couple of months. But then Austin and Kayla join so at least he's not the newest/youngest Apollo kid. (But then nearly all of Cabin 7 immediately dies in TLO and Will's right back to being in a mostly empty cabin and being in charge.)

- He definitely puts on an approachable/friendly, or at the very least calm, face 99% of the time, partially because it's expected of him and it's also maybe a little bit masking (it's a lot masking) cause he knows he can be a bit much. He is 100% the type of guy who feels like he has to solve all his problems himself and can't let anybody else know he has problems, and also that he has to help everybody else with their problems because that's his job, right? So he's constantly stressing himself out to the point of breakdown. He also half lives in the infirmary (which he totally has his own little office in) and he'll just shut himself in and spend like, a couple of days straight in there and probably not sleep. He's a workaholic just as bad as Nico and a total hypocrite about it/about overexerting one's self but he's working on it. Nico's too much of a take-no-shit kind of guy (and also him and Will are way too similar) so usually when Will nags Nico about that kind of thing it turns into Will looking in a mirror or Nico turning it back around on him and Will going "ah shit i need to take my own advice >:T"

- He's best friends with Drew Tanaka and he lets out his bitchy side when he's hanging out with her. they are bitching friends. they love to bitch. It's a great venting environment for him cause he knows Drew loves to hear him complain and talk shit so he can just let out all his pent-up frustrations and she'll just enthusiastically eat it all up. The two of them will gossip endlessly. Drew is mildly concerned about Will's romantic tastes though (again: monsters. cryptids. the Addams family. evils from the shadows. the guy from The Shape Of Water. Nico) and keeps trying to talk him out of flirting with things that might kill him. He does not listen to her.

- His only normal crush is Paolo but everyone is waiting for the other shoe to drop about how Will could possibly be weird about this one (there's an ongoing camp bet with different theories). He also dated Drew for like, all of a week but they both decided they totally hated it and preferred to stay just besties (bonus points: That was what Drew considered as her passing the whole Aphrodite-kids-breaking-hearts thing. literally neither of them cared).

- I know his full name is William but it's really funny if he lies about that and his full name is actually Wilhelm, named after the scream.

- ...He is a Swiftie. He's been a Swiftie since he was younger back with like, OG-era country music Taylor Swift and he's just stuck with it.

- Trans!Will is fun and I love it lots. Drew helping him with transition stuff is also very near and dear to me.

- His crush on Nico originates from them meeting for the first time during the Battle for Manhattan. Nico's attempt at flirting with Percy misfired and hit Will instead lmao. Nico parts the Titan Army in cool thematic armor and with three gods in tow, says a dramatic one-liner, and then is super badass in battle and Will is head-over-heels for him immediately. He then proceeds to spend the next year obsessing over Nico and being tormented by Nico never being at camp and never being able to talk with him. Ergo why when Nico shows up in BoO, Will is immediately like "HOLD MY HANDS. THREE DAYS IN THE INFIRMARY. HANG OUT WITH ME PLEASEEEE-" (and that's why Will was under the assumption that Nico was actively avoiding people rather than being ostracized, cause he had heart-eyes tunnel vision). Him in BoO though really is just seeing his crush and losing all his cool.

- For some reason he is just an absolute magnet for chthonic demigods. Nico, Lou Ellen, Cecil (who i hc is a chthonic Hermes kid), etc etc. He thinks Underworld stuff is super cool though (again, see: Will being super into spooky/gory stuff/etc). Also all the ex-Titan army kids decided they were his personal body guards immediately after the war cause he was nice to them.

- He is a HUUUUGE nerd. Specifically a sci-fi and disney nerd. They're his hyperfixations (/special interests if you lean more autistic!Will) <3 His favorite franchises are Star Wars and Avatar (the blue one). He loves conceptual alien biology/ecology and could go on about it endlessly. He will also very enthusiastically infodump about Disney history (both the art/animation side and theme parks side) and other sci-fi series. Ask him about Doctor Who (you will be there for several hours).

- Will being a micro-celebrity cause of his mom is very fun to me. He's been on talk shows and stuff before cause people love how snarky this country star's kid is. He has an extremely popular Instagram and Austin uses him as clickbait in his Youtube videos extremely often (including forcing him to guest-star or do like react content and stuff) (Will is more than happy to indulge him though cause he finds it funny).

- I also love the idea that Will and Piper have actually known each other since they were little, from Tristan and Naomi meeting at some point and realizing they had kids the same age and encouraging them to be pen-pals. Once social media becomes more of a like, Proper Thing™ they become mutuals on Instagram but just use it to periodically send each other silly memes (Piper's instagram is private and basically all she uses it for is dm'ing people). It takes them a solid week of being at CHB together to realize "WAIT, YOU'RE THAT [PIPER/WILL]?!" One of their hobbies is going into the city and seeing if people will recognize them/if paparazzi will see them and making games out of it (who can ruin the most photos, what types of fake gossip can we get them trying to circulate, etc etc).

- I am a firm believer that Will is an extremely loud out-and-proud type of guy and has been for awhile (again see: him being a micro-celebrity) and he spearheads or runs a lot of pride stuff at CHB ever since he joined. If there is a pride parade/event at CHB he helps organize it. If there's a GSA club at CHB he is the head of it. He keeps pamphlets in the infirmary of queer educational material and guides to different identities and stuff and is very passionate about making people feel welcomed and comfortable. Because of this, when he found out Nico was from the 1930s and severely not up-to-date on terminology and stuff, he considered getting Nico up-to-date his greatest challenge yet. It was a personal quest for him. There was also definitely at least a week before that where Will thought Nico might be homophobic or something and was going "I CAN FIX HIM" before Nico managed to explain that no, he's... very supportive (muffled coughing coming from closet), he's just also extremely behind and doesn't know what any of those words mean, thanks. Will set up the most extensive queer crash course possible for him and poor Nico was just going "slow down please,,,," the entire time. Will gets him up mostly up to speed eventually. I just love Will being that type of guy who will start explaining misc queer history with citations at the drop of a hat. It is probably another hyperfixation of his.

- Will and Annabeth both consider Chiron an adoptive father-figure and joke about being siblings and which of them is the favorite child, cause they both know they're definitely Chiron's favorite campers. They both get him father's day cards/gifts.

You know what concept doesn’t get explored enough in Dreamling fic? Dream teaching Hob how to read. Like, I’ve seen one or two off mentions of it in canon adjacent fic, but nothing that really gives focus to that idea, y’know? And while I think it would be fun in canon, I’m gonna go au real quick.

So Hob as one of those kids unfortunately left behind. Probably a combination of living in poverty and his undiagnosed adhd. And he’s definitely way too embarrassed by this to actually ask anyone to teach him. So now he’s an adult who doesn’t know much more than his own name and his numbers. And while that probably wouldn’t be enough for most people to get by, what Hob DOES have are people skills. His ability to charm people and talk around them let’s him get through life well enough.

Then there’s Dream, mister wet cat himself. If he’s not an Author™️ then he’s definitely a voracious reader. But he has a personality of a damp paper bag. Like, even he has to admit his lack of social skills is actively hindering his life and relationships at this point. Probably add some autism for ✨flavor✨

But Dream does have moments where he’s too observant for his own good. Which is how he clocks that Hob avoids reading like the plague. (I’m envisioning Hob as a bartender at the pub Dream goes to to try and learn human behavior. But idk if he could avoid reading with that job.)

So Dream corners Hob and proposes a trade off: Dream will teach him how to read and Hob will teach him some social skills. Once Hob realizes he’s not being threatened (seriously, Dream really sucks at this talking to people thing) he hesitantly agrees. At least it’s less embarrassing if Dream also needs to be taught something? And it would be rather helpful…

Obviously during the course of their lessons they fall in love 🥰

This means so much to me!!!! I love it. The idea of Hob hiding the fact that he can't read is so heartbreaking but actually so real and its way more common than people imagine.

I also love the idea of Hob + Dream = One Normal Functioning Adult. That's my favourite thing, when they're each other's missing puzzle piece <3

I figure that Hob might have picked up a few words from around the environment of the bar. Like, each tap has a label on and he knows exactly which is which and he can technically read "Guiness" and "Wherry" and a few others, but they're not the most useful words. Anyways, Dream gets the idea that he'll keep using things around the pub to teach Hob to read: menus, newspapers, posters for old gigs, crisp packets. It's a good way for Hob to build confidence before Dream presents him with an actual book.

And similarly Hob uses the bar as a place to teach Dream about social skills. He coaches him through identifying body language and expressions, quizzing Dream on how he thought each customer might be feeling. Then he encourages three way conversations between him, Dream and regular customers. He gives Dream topics to focus on and gives him safe ways to get out of an interaction that he's not vibing with.

By the time Hob stumbles his way through his first novel, Dream is able to talk to a stranger about the weather without any issues. And they're both mutually crushing on each other so hard!! It only seems fitting that the pub which has been such a cornerstone for their friendship and some pretty awesome personal milestones, is also the place where they have their first date.

Hob reads love sonnets to Dream in a hushed undertone. And it's like the whole building sighs happily at the sights of them together <3

request: jacerys x maid!reader | reader has been working for them for a long while and jace has had a little crush on her since then. (also rhaenyra shipping them on the low would be so sweet)

tags: nontarg!reader, implied slightly older reader, mostly jacaerys pov, no use of y/n, not proofread, i think that's it?

w.c | 2.2k

a/n: i am back! so sorry for being inactive i am so happy to be able to write again i have missed you guys, getting through requests now, but it will probably take me awhile to get to the scream requests since im really unmotived to write for it but i missed writing for hotd so here you go, i hope you guys enjoy!

the first time he had ever spotted you was when he was eight. you had been assigned to be helaena personal maid. he had been standing in the courtyard preparing for another sword fighting lesson. he notices out of the corner of his eye aegon lifting his head before aegon mumbled under his breath and curse as he shakes his head bring his head back down. jacaerys looks up to see heleana, knowing of the recent betrothal and aegons distaste at the idea of course he would have a reaction like that. his eyes drifted over to the girl standing besides helaena and he felt a sudden sensation of butterflies flow into his stomach.

Curiously he picks it up and opens, It feels wrong of me to do this. Princess Heleena just recently taught me how to write and the first thing I felt I needed to do was write something to you. I hope you do not laugh. I hope that while I express myself you find it in yourself to listen. My eyes always find their way towards you. I always find myself thinking about you. I feel too embarrassed to write more though my heart yearns too. Forgive me my prince. I shall hope we talk more. With all i have,

He finds himself tracing the sloppy signing of your name at the end of your letter. His head can't make sense of the words you say despite the fact he wants to so badly. He falls back onto his bed and reads over your words over and over again with a fond look on his face, already planning on what he was going to write back. The two of you begin to write more and more letters to each other. It was easier than speaking in person. Things that could not be uttered in person were said over word, the letters grew more and more personal. He felt like he was looking into your soul with every word as you must have felt as well. But then lady Leana had passed and he had to go to driftmark to the funeral though he was more upset about the passing of ser harwin. Before he had left for driftmark you had slipped a letter for him before he had left. He didn't have the energy to open it then, feeling too much grief to read your sweet words. A part of him is glad he didn't because he didn't realize that would be the last he would see of you for many years. They did not return to king's landing which means he did not get to see you. No more letters, no more passing glances, no more you. He stayed in his bed and cried for awhile, he remembers his mother coming in and trying to comfort him but nothing had worked. Even ten years later he still mourned you like you had died, he had managed to get over his sad slump but you still lingered in his mind like a disease he could not cure, an itch he couldn't scratch. He wondered if you thought of him like he had thought of you. Word had come that they had to go back to king's landing. With lucerys position as heir to driftmark being challenged they were expected to return for a trial. While he feels as though he should be sad, he should be angry. His heart leaps with hope that he gets to see the dear maiden that had stolen his heart. He had never opened up your letter from all those years ago, wanting to savor and save what could be your last words to him for a special occasion. He decided that now would be the time, as he sits on his bed with his stuff packed, only minutes until they were set to leave with shaking hands he rips open the letter.

Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath he opens the letter and gasps. My prince, It broke my heart to find out you were leaving. I hope that you have not let your grief consume you, that you shall continue to be happy no matter what. He notices some large splotches of ink as if you had been pressing too hard against the paper in thought. I must tell you this though it is improper. When you return you will never speak to me again. You may never write to me again yet I must say this now. From the day we had locked eyes and my eyes saw you smile you hard earned the key to my heart. You are the chosen one. Hand selected as the owner to the place which you and only you will ever belong. I hope that you do not laugh. I hope that you are not repulsed or you are not hateful. From the day we met I have loved you and I shall think of you always for you are all I yearn for. I shall await your return. I know not how long you will be gone but I will be here, my sweet true love. I am but a low maiden yet you are everything to me as you must be to all. When you return you may choose to ignore this letter. I am more than willing to act as if this letter never existed, I will be the one to turn this letter myself if you wish. Just please, do not punish me by never speaking to me again for I fear my heart will never recover. With all my love, Yours.

The letter shakes vigorously in his hands as teardrops fall onto the page. He must see you. He gets up and rushes towards the yard where the rest of his family awaits where they are boarding to leave. With the letter clutched to his chest he runs through the halls, the only thought going through his mind being you. He carefully, or as carefully as he can with the adrenaline pumping through his veins and the nervous shaking of his hands, folds up the letter and stuffs it into his pocket before continuing to rush towards his dragon. An arm grabs him and he whips his head around ready to curse and scream at whoever it had been before his angry face softens. “My queen.” she cups his cheeks as she frantically looks him over. “Has something happened? Why are you crying, my son?”

He feels himself grow overrun with emotions as he stumbles, unable to answer. Instead he grabs the letter and presents it to her. “My.. she wrote to me.. Her letter I must.. I must..” he cannot find himself. He looks down at the ground as rhaenyra glances over the letter and looks at her son with a heartfelt look. “Do you love her, my boy?” his heart begins to hurt as he begins to think more and more about you as he nods. He lets out a strangled noise as he clutches his chest. “I must see her mother, I must.” He never calls her mother. rhaenyra feels herself overcome with an indescribable feeling as she lets him go. “We shall head out right this moment.” They do. He feels himself riding faster than he ever had. A part of him worries you will not be there. Maids are easily dismissed and rid of in kings landing so his heart hurts as he thinks he has missed you

. They arrive and he finds lucerys is stuck to his side. Despite the fact that all he wished to was run off to find you he knows he must take care of lucerys as well. Walking into the courtyard he's taken back to his childhood, with lucerys eyes locked onto the fight happening jacaerys finds his eyes looking around at the viewers watching from above the courtyard. Suddenly his eyes lock onto a very familiar set of eyes. Yours. You look as gorgeous as you did the day he had last shall you if not more. You were standing in the exact same place you were when he first saw you with a look of shock. He finds himself stumbling away from the crowd to get a better look at you as his heart pounds so loud his ears may begin to ring. You were here. Standing in front of him. He gulps and watches as you quickly rush towards the staircase down to the courtyard. His skin begins to burn as his legs begin to shake. Everything in his body telling him he should run to you. Bring you into his arms. Allow your skin to touch him. Suddenly you are standing in front of him, panting slightly while your eyes dart all over him with surprise. “My prince… you have returned.” He grabs one of your hands in a soft grip, he sees you inhale sharply as he brings your hand to his lips and places a kiss to the back of your hand. his lips burning as he aches to kiss your skin once more. “I am sorry to have kept you waiting, my love.” You gasp before a smile graces your lips and tears fill up in your eyes. “Truly?” He places yet another kiss onto your skin, “More than anything.”

Incel!Shigaraki x reader Headcannons

Pairing: Shigaraki x Reader | Rating: M | Words: n/a | genre: smut

A/N: Soooooo, writing these actually gave me the best idea for a scenario 🥴 just in love with the idea of touch starved and incredibly horny Incel!Shigaraki fixating on a girl and attempting to force her into submission, only to find out she had been craving him just as much as he was

Incel!Shigaraki that notices you in public one day when he was out at the mall buying a new video game, unable to tear his eyes away from your suggestively lewd outfit, deciding that a beautiful girl dressed like that in public wanted, no needed, his greedy eyes to objectify you. Shigaraki couldn’t usually have cared less about other people when he went out in public. They didnt share the same intelligence level or tenacity he did, and besides, they would all submit to The League of Villains in due time anyways; there was no point in trying to converse with any of them. That was, at least, until he stopped by the mall one day to pick up the newest edition of a game that had just been released, and his eyes couldn’t help but lock onto your voluptuous figure. It’s not like it was his fault he was staring, in that short skirt and tight tank top you were practically naked. He could even tell you weren’t wearing a bra as his eyes followed each bounce and jiggle of your chest as you walked over to the Nintendo Switch games. Still mesmerized, he watched you from across the store, and his heart began to pick up when you bent down to retrieve Cooking Mama on the bottom row, allowing him to catch a quick glimpse of your underwear. Feeling the twitch in his pants, he was unable to tear his eyes away from you- even when your gaze met his. What really sealed your fate, however, was the fact that upon meeting his eyes, you had the audacity to smirk at his actions. It was then that Tomura decided you needed to be taught a lesson.

Incel!Shigaraki who begins to stalk you in his free time, watching with distain every time he saw you talking to another guy he had never seen before Watching you giggle and playfully hit the male companion who sat next to you at the food court made Shigarakis skin boil. He knew that there was no way you were actually laughing that hard at anything that guy had to say; You were just being the slutty little girl that you were, probably craving and aching between your legs in ways that you should only be doing for him. Shigarakis grimace continued as he fumed from the corner where he sat watching, scratching at his neck and trying not to let his explosive anger get in the way of his careful planning.

Incel!Shigaraki who finally, after observing you for weeks, makes his move when he sees you alone one day buying bubble tea, and despite his inexperience, actually does a phenomenal job playing the part of a charmer. “Why don’t you come back with me for a bite to eat?” He says, voice laced with something that you can’t quite put your finger on. “I know this great hole in the wall and besides,” pulling his hood back a bit so you can more clearly see his features, you saw the ghost of a smile that was almost sinister tugging at his scarred lips, “we’ll be able to talk more privately there.”

Incel!Shigaraki who has never had sex, but wastes no time fulfilling his darkest and roughest desires, living out fantasies he had only ever seen on porn, never imaging he would be blessed with such a beautiful, obedient little whore of his own He stared down with an almost incredulous look on his face as he watched you slink down in front of him with your beautiful ass perched high in the air, your slick entrance shining in the low light of the room just begging for him to finally enter. He shoved himself inside clumsily and with force you weren’t expecting, making you cry out as he filled your aching cunt. You heard him breathing heavily, and he declined to move at first. Looking back over your shoulder, you saw his eyes basking in the sight before him. His hands were gripping your ass and shaking it, even giving small slaps watching your fat jiggle in a way more delectable than he ever could have imagined. When he watched porn he always imagined what it would actually be like to have a beautiful woman under him, complacent and begging for his touch; But the reality proved to be so much better than he ever could have thought. Seemingly coming back to reality after his quick daydream, he pulled out ever so slowly, before slamming into you with even more force than before. “____,” he said, his voice low and gravelly, “scream my name.”

Incel!Shigaraki who stares almost too intently at your stark naked form, just drinking in the erotic sight of your curves and soft skin, making you blush a bit and serving to make you feel sexy and a little more confident than you usually would

Incel!Shigaraki who talks a big game, but ends up inevitably going too hard too fast after he finally stuck it in, involuntarily cumming inside you with delicious whimpers of his own Shigarakis ferocious and sporadic thrusts culminated suddenly with an almost violent stop, and he laid his body across your back as you stayed on your hands and knees on the bed. Feeling his dry lips brush your neck with a sloppy kiss caused you to relax, and you felt his length beginning to soften inside you. “Fuck, ____.” His whispers danced lightly across the sensitive skin behind your ear, and you closed your eyes, enjoying the proximity between you two at the moment. “Your pretty pussy was squeezing my dick so good I came faster than I expected.” Then, he snaked his arms around your waist, grabbing your hips, and flipping you two so you both lay on your backs with you cuddled up to his side snuggly. Though just as you were about to let the aftermath haziness of your release lull you into a deep sleep in Tomouras arms, he brushed some of your messy locks behind your ear as he whispered, “I hope you’re ready for round 2.”

Robby won captain

... because it fits his character development and character journey

After s5, I made a post called Robby as a leader that talked about how the writers have been building Robby out as the leader amongst the teens.

These are the main points in that analysis. That post has explanations for each.

Robby isn't a blind follower, which is important for a leader.

Robby doesn't actively seek out and hurt people to be vindictive, another good quality for a leader to have.

Robby honors the rules he sets and is an honorable leader.

Robby had some equal standing alongside Kreese and Silver in s4. Robby was the sole person in Cobra Kai who could teach Miyagi-Do to the students, meaning Robby probably led a lot of the classes.

Robby also tailored his lessons to the Cobras and didn't have them do chores. This shows he's able to identify how best to lead his group and change strategies to be more effective and to suit them. He did the same with Kenny, teaching him to use his speed to his advantage.

Robby was the first kid to mentor another kid. Robby was a great mentor to Kenny---despite what Robby believes, as he's too hard on himself.

Robby has been shown to be a strategic thinker who is at times willing to take risks, a good leadership quality to have.

Silver recognized Robby as a leader and even as an equal to the senseis, including himself, given how Silver responded to Robby in s5e9.

Robby was shown in a central, forefront position for the students in both dojos in s5.

These scenes were also in conjunction with Robby having a significant interaction with Daniel and Silver, respectively. The first one kicked off Miyagi-Dos return in s5. The second one was the first move against Silver by Miyagi-Do at the end of s5.

Robby's standing amongst the senseis is especially something of note. Robby is narratively an equal to the senseis.

In s5e9, Robby walked in after Silver and Kim talked about LaRusso, Lawrence, and Toguchi being pests and that they'll swat the next one. Robby then made his speech to the students, even daring to call Silver the enemy. Silver then swat Robby down with Silver's "they hear you, but listen to me" demonstration.

Another great example is s4e3. Robby became Kenny's mentor, while Daniel worked with Miguel and the Eagle Fangs alone for the first time and Johnny worked with Sam and the Miyagi-Dos for the first time.

And of course, Robby did what neither Daniel nor Johnny could accomplish in s4. Robby taught a dojo of students another style of karate and all of his students used that other style effectively in the tournament.

Robby is also the only kid to have teamed up with a sensei in a fight.

Hope we get at least one more team up between these two.

The matches in s6e5 were being used to determine who should be captain. The girls fight had no conclusion to it, and both girls became captain for a dojo. Not only did the girls each become captain, they also had a true resolution to their rivalry in terms of hashing things out properly. It's interesting, then, that there was a definitive decision for the boys for captain, although they haven't yet had a true resolution for their rivalry in terms of hashing it out properly. In fact, it was Robby only who took accountability and apologized, and Miguel didn't do either. Overall, the 3 kids who took accountability and apologized each became captain.

Robby became the captain after cleanly winning the only fair fight that he and Miguel have had. 😊 You go, kiddo!

It's important to note that being the best fighter doesn't make someone the best leader. imo Robby is the best fighter and the best leader amongst the boys (and teens). Even if Robby hadn't won the captaincy match, Robby is still the boy, between these two, who's better suited to lead. Robby is the kid overall who has been built out the most narratively as a leader.

Another important thing to note is that Robby is the teen that most naturally and closely follows Miyagi-Do, and as I point out in my Robby is the protagonist post:

Robby carries the essence of Miyagi-Do with him, wherever he goes, including juvie (The Heart of Miyagi-Do - Part 1 and Part 2). Although, this show is called Cobra Kai. Cobra Kai represents the generational trauma that is being passed down from Kreese to Johnny to Robby and from Silver to Daniel to Robby. Miyagi-Do is presented as the opposition to Cobra Kai: The goal of Miyagi-Do is to teach a better way. In fact, all the important avt final matches and the ST trial matches were Miyagi-Do vs Cobra Kai. The whole goal is to take down Cobra Kai. In s4, Robby beat the whole Cobra Kai dojo using Miyagi's teachings. Of course, the kid who carries the essence of Miyagi-Do will be the one to take down Cobra Kai for good in the end.

Robby, while wearing a Cobra Kai gi, used Miyagi-Do to take down the Cobra Kai students in their dojo. He then assumed his position as the leader (with Tory as a co-leader) and started teaching the Cobras Miyagi-Do.

It's important to note that Miyago-Do purely has yet to win a tournament. In s1, Robby was using pure Miyagi-Do to fight, but Miguel cheated to secure the win for Cobra Kai. In s4, Daniel told Hawk to put Robby on defense, which is Miyagi-Do, and encouraged Hawk to use Cobra Kai. Although Miyagi-Do won the boys championship by name, Hawk primarily used the Cobra Kai style to win. Sam was also using both styles to fight against Tory. Silver cheated and secured the win for Tory, so Miyagi-Do lost the girls championship and lost the tournament overall.

No other kid, especially not Miguel, has been built out the way that Robby has as a leader and as the teen who follows Miyagi-Do most inherently, even in his fighting style. According to Tanner and one of the stunt coordinators, Robby uses the traditional Okinawan style, but switches it up only when he needs to.

Miyagi-Do has to win a tournament purely as Miyagi-Do in this series. Miyagi-Do is the legacy of this franchise, and the whole point of this series is that Cobra Kai, including Eagle Fang, is a poison and must die.

In s6 part 1, the new development about Mr. Miyagi's backstory is interesting. When Johnny called Mr. Miyagi "a liar and a thief", I immediately thought of Robby. The earlier reveal that Miyagi had committed an assault and robbery and went on the run is a possible significant parallel with Robby, who shares other parallels with Miyagi. This reveal about Miyagi has shattered Daniel's perception of him. Maybe, as Daniel learns more about Miyagi's past, Daniel will also learn to listen to and consider all sides to a story before making rash judgments about people (..coughs... Robby...) in those situations.

In relation to Robby's character journey, the two King Cobras each told Robby, the kid who carries the essence of Miyagi-Do, that he can be a champion. Kreese even told Robby that he needs to show it to the world. Both of these conversations were also in the context of Robby not turning out like Johnny, which is a big part of Robby's character journey. Robby's "lie"/fear is that he believes that he's like Johnny and will end up like him ("second place" being one aspect of that).

Kreese to Robby (s4e1): "Trust me. You've got even more talent than your father. You just need to show it to the world... It's not about the trophy. It's about being a champion. Win or lose, that reputation will follow you for the rest of your life. Just ask your father and LaRusso."

Daniel's reputation as a winner has followed him. Johnny became... the person that Robby doesn't want to turn into. Kreese had also told Robby that Johnny squandered his talent.

Silver to Robby (s4e4): "If you want to be a champion, you need to dig out that fear and face it. Whatever it is. Because if you don't it's going to hold you back forever."

Robby later went to Johnny and told him that Robby's biggest fear is ending up like Johnny, but Robby isn't going to because he is better than Johnny. Robby has been trying to not be like Johnny in different ways.

It's notable that Johnny's "second place" trauma, especially in relation to his standing wrt Daniel, was being depicted alongside Robby's "second place" trauma in s6e5.

Kreese rooted Johnny's "second place" trauma in him when he told him "Second place is no place! ... You're nothing. You're a loser", strangled him, and then abandoned him. In s4, Kreese rubbed in Johnny's face that he's playing second fiddle to LaRusso. In s6e5, Johnny spent most of the episode dealing with his insecurities about being less than Daniel.

Johnny has rooted Robby's "second place" trauma in him by choosing Miguel over him since s1e5 and the plot device baby over him since s5e5. In s6e5, Robby was dealing with his "second place" trauma too.

Robby's struggle to not become like Johnny continues. From his lack of future prospects to being "second place", Robby still sees a bleak future ahead of him. Tory however gave Robby inspiration to fight for and believe in himself again. Robby is now ready to try once again to change his future by becoming a champion.

Also, to note, Tory is connected to Kreese and Robby, and Johnny brought up his mother's death after hearing about Tory's mother's death. Johnny's mother's death led him to abandoning Robby. All these strings are intertwining as part of the main plot, and Miguel isn't a part of this.

Robby definitely earned and deserved the captain position, and narratively, it was always going to be his.

Robby's Johnny's son. Of course, Cobra Kai is Robby's story, as much as it is Johnny's, maybe even more so.

I ended the Robby as a leader post with this:

I'd also love to see Robby get at least one mentor he wishes he had when he was younger (a strong support system of genuinely caring and compassionate adults would be ideal). Although Robby has many leadership qualities, he also still needs an adult in his life who is mature and grounded. He needs a mentor and supporter who he can look up to, who will be there for him and believe in him, and who can lead him.

It's become pretty clear in s6e5 that an important part of Robby's journey that makes him THE underdog and Karate Kid of this generation is that he's all alone. Robby is a leader, but he's still a kid; one who still has no support system and no real mentor.

In s6e1, Robby told Kenny that he should join their dojo so that he could go to the Sekai Taikai and "with the right mentors...". Shawn cut Robby off then, but Robby calling Johnny and Daniel the "right mentors" shows how much Robby has internalized the flaws in this relationships with Johnny and Daniel as being his own fault. Johnny and Daniel are the ones who have absolutely failed Robby, especially Johnny. They're not "the right mentors". Both refuse to acknowledge and understand Robby's side of the story. (My post The Neglect of Robby Keene covers this.)

Around the time that s1 came out, Ralph said about the first Karate Kid movie:

"It's a story about a boy who needs a mentor, needs a father, and he’s got all the odds against him."

This is definitely Robby as he goes into the Sekai Taikai. Robby has two "mentors", one of which is his father, but Robby obviously doesn't feel supported by either of them. Robby's balance is going to be really off as he starts the tournament, and I'm curious to see how it will affect his ability to lead and fight.

In s2, Robby had told Johnny that Miyagi-Do had helped Robby a lot and that maybe Johnny and Daniel can learn from each other.

Robby wanted Johnny to become Miyagi-Do even back then. He wanted him and Daniel to learn from each other. Now Johnny has joined Miyagi-Do, but he needs to become Miyagi-Do, like Robby is.

Johnny and Daniel are still not on the same page, though, and are still failing Robby and all these kids. Johnny and Daniel seriously need to step up. I really hope they do. Robby needs to believe in himself again, but it shouldn't be that this kid has to go it alone, not again, not anymore. Johnny and Daniel need to redeem themselves to Robby, and they need to be there for him.

Can you imagine Robby winning it with Johnny and Daniel both in his corner, all three as Miyagi-Do? 🥹 As much as I want to throw Johnny away, I know this would be a dream come true for Robby so I want it for him too. I hope it happens, and that it happens after they've validated Robby and all of his traumas and experiences, especially those caused by them and the person they blindly chose over him.

Robby wasn't second place for the first time, and his dad acknowledged him and his achievement. ❤️

May i request ranpo with a s/o (or crush) who is a very good martial fighter (and good with weapons) who could beat someone’s ass without their ability needed. And they think its insane that ranpo literally can not fight (or is just not great at it) and they decide that they’ll teach him some fighting tactics/moves (probably so much convincing with snacks)

-🧛

fighting talk

synopsis - you understand that your lover doesn't need to fight that much but maybe he could know the basics

includes - ranpo

warnings - gn!reader, fluff, slight crack, violence but not serious, sorta play fighting, wc - 372

a/n: i love this sm, little fun fact about me is i actually teach a martial art haha so im basing it on that :)

↪ you understood how that ranpo's main thing at the agency was solving the crimes, showing up to soms crime scenes and closing cases. so it would come naturally that because he also possessed no fighting type ability that he would have no need to know how to, or very little.

↪but you thought it was just insane, he works at a detective agency he should atleast be able to defend himself. especially because he was your lover and you wouldn't bare it if he got seriously injured because he couldn't fight back.

↪so with some promises of alot of sweets or snacks and cuddles he reluctantly agreed to you teaching him basic self defense. he also had always admired how without your ability you were so good with just your skill in martial arts and could defend yourself with or without your ability so maybe he was a little bit interested in being taught by you.

↪starting a martial art and going straight into it would often lead to misunderstanding or simple failure so no matter how much he insisted he could figure it out you decided to start with the basic basics. and a good place for that was ranges. kicks, punches then elbows and knees, it was important to understand what was best in each scenario.

↪and when he got the basics which admittedly took not that long you would move on to things such as groundwork, take downs, defensive stances and such.

↪and maybe when he was ready you could teach him how to use some weapons. a common one was a katana but for beginners sometimes a bokken would suffice, essentially a wooden katana. or something more simple such as a bo staff or escrima sticks.

↪i think he would personally find the escrima sticks easier to use and he would be weirdly good at arm bars or figure four locks. definitely better at defending and counter attacking.

↪ranpo wouldn't tell you but after your little lessons he held more respect for how you carried yourself without using your ability. and he did gloat a little to fellow agency members about his new skills. although given the chance he would gladly stick to what he has already going.

[misc-obeyme]

here to say i also agree with the other anon and love how you write mammon !! and if you do decide to finish one of those drafts, I'll def be the first to reblog! or at least I'd want to be lmaoo. I just love him so much 😭

I think I'm at lesson 73 in the game now?? I NEED to beat it before Tuesday, but my family is traveling tomorrow to mexico, and it's gonna be a long drive </3 minimum 14 hours, sometimes a full day if my dad naps. I'll have limited signal, but Google docs works offline so maybe writing time?! if I'm not asleep akskd.

also !! i wanted to ask if you have any favorite composers or music pieces? for research purposes of course 📝 👀

And I can't remember if you said you had a keyboard before you got the new piano, but if you do, what are the biggest differences? I'd imagine it sounds smoother and ... Crispy? (Is it hard to move a piano?? Like do they unscrew the legs to be able to get it through doors??)

you don't have to answer because I can totally google these things, but I also like seeing you talk about your piano akwkdjf

Hope you're doing well !!

- ✨ anon

omg, well maybe I will finish one of those stories... I had a handful of ideas from my last Mammon phase... okay, let's be real. I gotta stop calling them phases, the reality is that I just think about him a lot asdl;kdsfjkf. When I tell you I'm so obsessed with the Mams/Barb ship right now... it plagues me so much. BUT no my other ideas were x reader lol. And I don't know why I never finished them, I guess I got distracted? I think it was my OC's fault. In fact, I'm pretty positive it was. But even if it wasn't, I'm still blaming Arrie for everything.

AH you're SO CLOSE! I know I got really obsessed with getting through season four right before NB came out 'cause I was like, there is no way I am not having the full story before this new stuff starts! Anyway, I hope you're able to get there, even with the drive and lack of signal! I hope you have fun on your trip!

Hang on, you LIKE seeing me talk about my piano!?? I was like, man I must be so annoying about it lol. I'm happy to answer any such questions, but uh... just be aware you may be opening some flood gates!

OKAY I really rambled about this piano stuff, so I think I better put it under a read more just to save people from scrolling forever...

Now when you say composers, do you mean classical composers or more modern ones? Because if we're talking classical, the answer is Bach. Like that is a pretty standard response, probably. And maybe I'm a lil basic for being such a huge Bach fan, but I don't care. Beethoven was also excellent of course, but that guy was sooooo overdramatic, all his songs are like bombastic while Bach was like, nah it's all about keeping exact tempo. Most of my other classical music stuff is like... I have specific pieces from different composers that I like, rather than being really into one composer specifically. Like Mozart is great and all, but Fantasia in D is by far the best of his stuff as far as I'm concerned. OH but I do like most of Chopin's stuff, too. But nothing can top Bach for me asldkfj.

If we're talking piano solos specifically, though, you're gonna get mostly Beethoven. Fur Elise is like the classic piece that all piano students are taught at some point. Moonlight Sonata is another incredibly popular one from him. You'll also get a lot of Pachelbel's Canon in D, which is really boring imo. It can be fun to play if it's an unusual arrangement, but generally speaking trying to play that song puts me to sleep lol.

Now if we're talking more modern composers, my favorites are Ludovico Einaudi, Toshifumi Hinata, Alexis Ffrench, and Yiruma. This is like more modern piano solo stuff, though. All these people are still alive lol. But I love their piano music, listening to it really kind of informs how I play when I'm doing improv style stuff.

Though I feel I would be remiss if I didn't mention classic jazz piano stylings, too. I named my piano after one of my favorites, Hazel Scott. Jazz piano is insane and incredible and it always blows my mind. There are a TON of amazing jazz musicians. And you'll get a lot of good piano players that are not in the classical style too and who tend to span genres, such as Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles.

Anyway, I'm not entirely sure if that's the kind of rambling you were looking for on that first question lol! But feel free to ask me more specific things if you'd like!

As for the second part of your piano related questions, I did indeed have a keyboard before I got the piano. However, it's important to note that there are many different kinds of keyboards. The one I had was bought used and even before that, it would've been an extremely cheap one. I think you can buy a new one for like $400? Mine only had 76 keys (as opposed to the full 88 a piano has). And there are keyboards that come with even fewer keys (like 56 or something?). These are mostly good for classroom situations or where you only need to say, add a bit of piano into a larger song with other instruments. They do okay as a replacement for a real piano, but they're really not made for that.

However, there are keyboards in the thousands of dollars that I think are more commonly called "digital pianos" nowadays that are made to replace a real piano. I've never had or played one of these, so I'm not sure how obvious the difference of the sound would be. That being said, I've seen them used in concert situations many times. So I suspect the most expensive ones probably sound pretty close to a real piano. Or at the very least, they act more like a real piano does.

My cheapo keyboard still had keys that could sense how hard you were pressing them. And this let the keyboard know if you wanted your note loud or soft. But honestly it barely made a difference lol. I would think that kind of feature would be much better and higher quality on an expensive digital piano.

Similarly, my keyboard had an option of "grand piano" as the sound the keys produced. Digital pianos also usually have a grand piano setting, so they might sound more like a grand piano even if they're just a standard upright. The Yamaha Clavinova is a good example of a digital piano. It can range from like $3000 to $8000 depending on what version you get.

So I can definitely tell you the difference between the sound of a keyboard like my old one and the piano I have now, but there are a lot of versions of keyboards that might sound better than mine did.

The thing that really informs what a piano sounds like is the strings inside it. When you hit a key on the piano, a tiny little hammer (sometimes two) hits a string that's tuned to that note inside the piano. So the main thing a keyboard lacks is actual strings. It's just playing the sound of a string that was being hit somewhere else and then recorded. And a real piano is also heavily impacted by the environment it's in. If you've got a piano in a small space, with a lot of stuff around it, it might sound a little more muffled than if you had in a larger more empty space. That's more about the room's acoustics than the piano itself, though.

I think I know what you mean about "crispy" lol! Like the keyboard has a crisper sound. And yeah, it does, and also it doesn't ring quite as well. I got a sustain pedal for my keyboard, so it was able to hold notes a little longer, but it's nothing like the way it works for a piano. The sustain pedal on my piano is really amazing, it'll hold that note for what feels like a million years lol.

The piano is more resonant, there's more space for the sound to be creating within the instrument itself. I have an upright, but it's a tall upright. This is so that there's more room for the strings, kind of like a grand piano but instead of the strings being horizontal, they're vertical. Grand pianos always sound better. And you can open them to make them even louder, too. You can open an upright, but it doesn't have quite the same sound. It's very close, though, and honestly most people probably can't tell the difference lol.

And yes, it is hard to move a piano! They have to be transported by movers who are specifically piano movers. Because there's a lot that can go wrong if they're not properly handled or packaged. They're also heavy, so you need two strong peeps to do it!

How they do it depends on the type of piano. An upright will fit easily through most doors, so they don't have to take anything apart. A grand piano, on the other hand, is obviously incapable of going through a door at all, so it does need to be taken apart. I think they do take off the legs, so they can turn the top part sideways and move it through a door that way. So the strings aren't too disturbed, since that's the important part. Famous bands and musicians that use real pianos on stage have a whole crew for this specifically. If they want to use their own piano, they have to have a piano crew to move it from venue to venue for them. Most venues have a house piano, but a lot of musicians are picky about this kinda stuff. If they've got enough money to hire a crew to move their piano every time, they probably do. And they'll need to have a piano tuner in there, too, because inevitably moving a piano that often is going to require it to be tuned after nearly every move.

Pianos do better if they stay in one spot for the most part. They settle into their environment, not just the room they're in, but the strings and hammers sort of acclimate to the amount of humidity in the air and that kind of stuff, too. Generally, if you're just moving a piano to a new location that's nearby, you should be okay. But if you're moving it across states or into new climates or different altitudes, you'll want to get it tuned within two months of moving it. It just takes that long for it to adjust.

ANYWAY. I'm sure you now have WAY TOO MUCH INFO than you ever needed about this stuff asdflkjf. I don't get to talk about it all that often and honestly I didn't realize I had this much to say about it lol!!

I hope some of that helped and I apologize for getting so wordy about it!

I am doing well and I hope you are, too! 💕

Eternal Hearts: Bound by Love

“Reject me,” Draco said while looking directly at the redhead in front of him.

“Wh...what?” Ron said, totally confused, the start of the fond feeling of knowing his mate and probably being able to talk to him to have an agreement soon disappearing from his mind.

“Reject me, Weasley” The blonde repeated while his face was void of expression, the cold wall that hid his feelings was as strong as ever. 

In which Draco is an omega resigned to being alone forever, unable to find his soulmate since nobody would like to be with a former death eater and Ron is a short-tempered alpha that is willing to go against all odds to be with his soulmate. After all, he would love them no matter what, right?

It all started with a letter. A bloody letter that would change his whole life forever. Draco’s hands were shaking while he looked at the letter at the innocent age of eleven, he had just received his Hogwarts letter and now he was getting this letter which was the certainty that his future and his father’s dreams were ruined.  Maybe it wouldn’t be so bad, maybe his father wouldn’t be so angry at him. After all, it wasn’t like he chose to be this thing, he was born this way and there was no way that he could change it. Even if he wanted to. His mother would be thrilled, that was quite obvious. It was almost as if she knew before everything about his designation. After all, she always called him sweet nicknames and tried to teach him to act more delicate and almost like an angel that was walking on the earth. 

A few years ago he thought that it was dumb and that he wouldn’t need those kinds of lessons. Now, he was a bit grateful for it. To be honest, if Draco was going to be something, anything, he would be perfect. It wouldn’t matter if he was an alpha or omega, he was going to be perfect, ready to have a mate and satisfy them, in any form that was expected of him. That was something that he was always taught as a Malfoy. It doesn’t matter the thing you are, the career you chose, or the house you are into, what matters is that you make your best effort to be as perfect as possible. So, Draco was going to be perfect. 

That had been just a few months ago. His father wasn’t so mad about him being an omega, but he was quite worried. That was because he knew that the people he surrounded himself with wouldn’t treat him kindly and it was possible that they would try to take advantage of him being an omega. Still, he wouldn’t dare to make Draco feel less for being an omega. After all, even if he seemed like a cold and bitter man while being outside, Lucius loved his son dearly and couldn’t bear the thought of him getting hurt. This meant that the head of the Malfoy Family had to make a change in his attitude and start dealing with other people. At end of the day, he wouldn’t dare to keep working or being with people that could present a danger to his son, or people that would treat him like he was less of a human because of his secondary gender classification. He still found certain families annoying. Like the Weasleys.  But that wasn’t because of their love for muggles or anything like that. Not at all. His dislike came from the fact that even if Arthur Weasley had the chance of gaining more money and power with his knowledge about things that most wizards ignored, he didn’t use it. He shielded himself by calling his obsession a simple hobby and letting his family suffer in poverty. It didn’t matter that they acted like they didn’t care, he could see that their negligent actions were taking a toll on their children. The twins, for example, were incredibly smart (from what Draco had told him before) and they were hiding their talents because of the lack of money. One of their middle children -Percy?- was running to the arms of a stupid man hungry for power just because he felt like his family didn’t give him any way of growing… and the kid was totally right! 

Well, going back to what was important. This revelation of his own son also meant a big change in the way Lucius acted with Draco. It wasn’t totally bad, but he started to be more coddling, doing his best to show his son that even if he was an omega, he wasn’t less loved or less respected than him, that was an alpha. The thing that was a little bit awkward was that Lucius also started to treat Draco like he was more delicate and tried to make him wear more light colours -Draco and his mother drew the line as soon as Lucius suggested that the boy wear skirts or more colours like purple or blue, not that there wasn’t anything bad with that, but he didn’t like those colours, being used to a more monochromatic and dark scheme. Luckily, Lucius understood and without a doubt, he started to bring more delicate and a bit feminine clothes but maintained the colours that his son loved so much. The skirts were a pending discussion. 

Draco was just grateful that he would have another six years before getting the letter from his designated mate. After all, if his father was coddling now, he couldn’t imagine how he would act when Draco decided to fly away from the nest and live with his mate. Still, the blonde boy also hoped for the butterflies that would appear in his stomach as soon as he met his mate. It would be amazing, he would love every second of it.

Hello! Have a ramble card, you may ramble about whatever you like :3

Oh, Dust. Dust, my good fellow and now-fellow mutual, I don’t even know where to begin with this power you have given me… I’m ill-prepared for such a responsibility! But, I guess I can start my rambling off with some facts about Anne-Marie.

Anne-Marie is mixed-race, her biological mother originated from the Caribbean Islands but she fled to England during the wars for independence and to get away from her own family situation. Anne-Marie’s biological father was a wealthy Englishman, one who went after immigrant women. He’s a slimeball, plain and simple.

Anne-Marie has no desire to know her biological father. Jekyll is her dad and that’s end of it. Her mother, Isabella, is still alive but Anne-Marie doesn’t know nor does she care. Anne-Marie wants nothing to do with Isabella and would rather leave her in the past. They did not have a good relationship.

Anne-Marie did have a group of friends while she was at the Orphanage. She was the youngest so the older kids did their best to look after her. They were the ones who gave her the name Anne because of her tendency to question things by saying “And?”.

I meant to save this for a sketch on the first day of Pride Month but I guess I’ll say it here; Anne-Marie is asexual — like most of my OCs, to be honest 🤣 she falls more on the sex-repulsed side of things, which confused the heck out of Hyde. Speaking of Hyde, Jekyll and him were both very confused when Anne-Marie came out but they were still supportive in their own ways. They’re trying, okay? 🤣 They did have a huge sigh of relief when they realized that Anne-Marie wasn’t interested in fooling around with anybody when she reached her teenage/adult years.

Do not mention the words Anne-Marie and marriage in the same sentence around Jekyll. Jekyll does not want to think about marrying her off. He wants her to be the sole inheritor of everything he owns. He WILL delay marriage talks for as long as he can.

(In a future scenario where everything is happy, an older Anne-Marie does end up being in a nice queerplantonic marriage with a Jonathan Harker-inspired OC who is AroAce. Lanyon and Everly helped set it up.)

Everly is Anne-Marie’s piano teacher, something that happened not long after Robert first met the girl. The two got along together swimmingly and Anne-Marie would often play Everly’s sonnets as a form of lessons. Everly is probably the only Lanyon Anne-Marie genuinely likes. Everly sees her as the daughter she wishes she could have.

It’s such a shame that Anne-Marie doesn’t like Robert because those two would’ve gotten along swimmingly on dissing the upper-class while they were at parties. While Anne-Marie, like Jekyll, was taught upper-class etiquette but she didn’t thrive off it like her father. She’s actually pretty crabby whenever she had to deal with snobs. The only reason she is able to get away with acting as the perfect proper daughter is because Jekyll lets her loose it in either an isolated room or during the carriage ride on the way home.

She has a collection of scary stuffed toys in her room. Stuff like bears with large teeth and creepy button eyes. It freaks Lanyon and some of the Lodgers out. Jekyll has gotten used to them. Hyde is still weird out by them.

Anne-Marie’s tends to favor spicy food. Her favorite is that Chicken Paprika their family lawyer got from a fellow lawyer friend. Jekyll and Hyde can NOT handle spicy food but they still try to eat it with her. Hyde keeps going despite how much pain he’s in.

I guess it’s time to mention some stuff I have in regards to Jekyll being a dad. I can’t imagine him having any biological children. I can’t imagine this man procreating. In any form of media, might I add. It is easier to see him pick up a child from somewhere and him becoming a dad that way.

No matter how much his reputation means to him, I think Jekyll is willing to go to war if somebody ever sighted Anne-Marie the wrong way. If Anne-Marie tells her side of the story of an incident she’s involved with, he WILL believe her. Frankenstein learned that the hard way.

Him reading her bedtime stories are the only times Jekyll is able to sleep. Anne-Marie is a koala bear when she’s tired and Jekyll is never able to escape when she latches on. Welcome to the life of a dad, Jekyll.

Speaking of which, I almost forgotten to mention that I don’t think Jekyll ever planned to have kids. He likes children and sometimes don’t mind their company, but he never saw himself as a dad. Him adopting Anne-Marie was a decision that still surprises him to this day.

One last thing to close off the whole ramble, Anne-Marie is able to hold her stare for a long time. It’s something she developed when she was on the streets. She uses it as a form of intimidation, as she found out that people can unnerved by holding a long form of eye contact with them. She’s still well-known for this trick, even when she lost her sight. So if she is staring in a general direction, the Lodger who is on the receiving end of it is still freaked out.

And that’s end of the ramble! Not sure if this counts since I tend to be organized when I’m writing but thank you Dust Mint for letting me get some of ideas out!

[sonicasura]

What would have been a tense atmosphere was cut through by the very clingy Predacon newspark. Sure enough, the (mentally) young dragon-like cybertronian still remembered them. Jury was out if it was Dart or the Omnitrix they remembered so fondly though.

The human teen hadn’t bothered hiding the watch given the nature of this meet up.

Jack: “You’re��� Bygone?”

[User]: “Bygone’s a form of mine, so technically. Call me Dart and this is—“

A flicker of amusement was the only warning when the alien device itself displayed it’s hologram using Ben as a template.

[User], cont’d: “The Omnitrix. It’s the one who reached out to you initially, not me…”

————————————————

The cybertronian shapeshifter was actually a human(?) one? Well, they looked human enough and weren’t a hologram like Arcee sometimes used.

Raf was still freaking out over his gaming buddy being an advanced alien AI. Miko was excited over other aliens—look when you’re around alien robots all the time, you get used to it. The oldest of the Autobot-allied human kids was desperately trying to keep the meet up under control. Kinda moot point, but he certainly tried.

Jack: “Why pretend to be a Predacon? Or become one for so long?”

‘Dart’: “That was a bit of a hasty decision on my part, but I don’t regret it.”

Jack: “What?”

‘Dart’: “The Omnitrix works by collecting genetic samples from the transformation’s species. Predaking happened to be the first cybertronian I encountered. And contrary to what I expected from such an almost feral transformation—I could speak.”

Jack: “Yeah? We eventually got that Predaking was like other Cybertronians. Mech mode and talking.”

‘Dart’, sighing: “What I mean. Is that before Predaking showed any inclination of being sapient. The Decepticons thought he was a normal cybertronian animal. Me being able to speak as Bygone when he was still effectively feral meant he always had the physical capacity. It took ages between the Bots interrupting lessons to teach him to speak.”

Jack: “And you stuck around to teach him?”

‘Dart: “I assumed one of two things: either he was young enough he wasn’t taught to or injured enough he physically couldn’t. Experiencing how other species live is the whole point of the transformations.”

The newspark Predacon nudged the unaligned human teen, almost forcing them out of their chair.

‘Dart’: “And to also bring extinct ones back—“

The Omnitrix: “I cannot bring back the dead, so unfortunately Cybertron will stay mostly lifeless. What I can only do is make new individuals to keep the species itself going. I apologize.”

The alien watch’s explanation cut through the barest bits of hope that had been building up in the Autobot-aligned kids. Well, at least one cybertronian species had been brought back…

—ROB’d Anon.

The fact one species was brought back from extinction still provides hope that life could come back to Cybertron. Dart and the Omnitrix could probably do more if they have information. Optimus would be the best since he was an archive pre-war.

Plus considering the movie, I see Dart just snatching the All Spark from OP and tossing it into the well. They know the Prime has zero self preservation whatsoever. Plus they're the only person capable of scolding him because Dart nor the Omnitrix gives two shits about how sacred Primes are.

"You are a person with friends who would mourn your self sacrificing ass, Prime or not. Whoever says otherwise needs their teeth kicked in."

#23. Jace Kaganoff

Your father always taught you that forgiveness is earned, but even when saying all the right things, you find this person hard to forgive. You flee from it to clear your head, but like an assassin’s mark on your back, it follows. For the sake of tradition and the sake of your family you know you ought to let it go. But you can’t, you won’t, and even if it’s selfish you hope that a some point they’ll just let you go.

“jace” means healer. “kaganoff” means descended from the oracle. jace’s family has carried this name for generations, due to the fact that they are some of the first people of kiskkaddon who were able to communicate with the god RANKIMA. jace doesn’t have the ability to communicate with the goddess himself, but as “hearless” ones (as his father called it) he made it his life’s mission to strive for justice and protect oracles and their people from the expanding deserts of kiskkaddon.

41, cis male (he/him), romance: technically. he’s not super into it but he knows how to play the part. sex: technically. same hat. kisk traditions make him kinda blah about it and after miki’s infidelity he hasn’t really been in a horny mood. preference: none (he’s not really into sex or romance, but he feels like its a duty he has to fulfill. if left to his own devices, he would probably find someone else to be with/explore, or he would just not be with anyone).

jace is an imposing figure, standing just taller than dion at 6’5”. he has a broad, muscular build, and his dark hair is in short locs with shaved sides, tapering off in the back, usually with designs shaved into the back and sides of his head. his eyes are a deep red color, almost crimson. his hands are extremely calloused and he has varying scars mostly scattered across his shoulders, which he leaves bare of armor.

a MBW, jace was trained by his father directly to protect the oracle and the people as they traversed the harsh lands of the kiskkaddon desert. his weapon before adicating to lathsbury always rotated due to whatever was on hand; and as such he is trained to use a variety of different weapons: war hammers, swords (of varying sizes, one and two handed), and javelins are the most common he’s used. currently, in guilds he dual wields two cutlasses. being older than many of his peers gives jace a distinctive battle advantage, especially as there are more free roaming monsters on kiskkaddon (and diisai by proxy) as they were not absorbed into the labyrinth like the many that roamed on the mainland. granted, they are much weaker than mainland monsters as they are further removed from chaos, but still they are foes jace has been facing since he was a young boy. he can wipe the floor with nearly anyone, magic or not, though magic users do surprise him especially because (aside from bards) he isn’t familiar with them. the one that surprises him the most is the hexer (or illuminator) erebos, as the man (boy, really) looks physically weaker than him… yet somehow jace still cannot best him in spars.

jace has always been a serious person. its the running joke (at least among those who know him and his family well) that he’s becoming the walking, talking version of his father. which, makes sense, that in many senses, jace tries to emulate his father and his father’s legacy—not because he was forced, but because he greatly admires him for his tenacity and the willingness he had to give everything for their people; even his life. many of his father’s lessons jace takes to heart including the message “forgiveness is earned” because it is. to say sorry means nothing. to make up for your actions is where the true value is… and this is where he’s currently at with his wife, miki. despite the fact that, to his knowledge, he killed his best friend over this, jace still cannot shake the bitterness and the anger he feels towards her for betraying his trust, and doesn’t truly trust her when she says she’s sorry, because it doesn’t feel like she’s making an effort to make anything change. 

despite this, jace is so old man coded LMAO. he’s kind of stubborn and stuck in his ways, definitely views those (especially those in their 20s) as kids and worries over them as such, and shows his care through actions instead of words. coming to lathsbury was supposed to help him heal and face his demons and he’s still working on it, for better or worse.

3 fun facts about them: jace talks in his sleep, usually about what food he wants to eat for breakfast the next morning. he’s very much a “foodie” in general, and part of the joy he’s gotten traveling away from home to the mainland is all of the different foods that he’s never had before. he also has one silver streak of hair, but since it’s at the back of his head, he doesn’t know that its there.

Chapter 12 Epilogue: Myrrh's gone missing

After finishing off the cyclops, Ephraim instructs that they should take advantage of being in a town and rest.

Ephraim also warns that they need to be strict and punish anyone in their army who lashes out or mistreats the townspeople. I guess he's thinking about the fact that the army is in enemy territory now, and there are probably many people from Renais who are bitter about what Grado has done.

The fighting is done, and Ephraim has dismissed everyone to relax for the evening except for those on a shift of guard duty. Lute goes off to search for the boy who joined their army during the fighting. She noticed something interesting in his possession.

The boy is sitting on his own, reading a book. You...Ewe...what was his name again?

"Hey, you!"

The boy jumps and spins around to face Lute.

"I don't remember your name. Sorry. I want that draco shield you have."

The boy's eyes grow wide. "I-what? Who are you?"

"I'm Lute. I'm a genius, and a talented magician, the most talented in this army. Can I have your draco shield?"

The boy starts to step back. "Are you...what do you mean? What if I don't want to give it to you? My sister gave it to me before she left and told me it would help me stay safe."

"Your sister is right. Draco shields contain powerful magic that makes people more resistant to physical damage. It's actually quite fascinating how it works. You know how some knights use a blessing spell on their armor? Well, like that, the draco shield contains the essence of a protective spell. However..."

"Wait, what are you talking about?" The boy interrupts.

Lute frowns. It's hard enough to put thoughts into words as it is, so it's extra frustrating when someone interrupts and pulls all of the ideas out of order. Trying to get back on track feels like picking up yarn after it's been spilled on the floor and unwound.

Before she can continue, the boy asks, "Wait, you said you're good at magic, right?"

"Yes, I said that. It's true. I'm the most accomplished mage in this army."

Suddenly, the boy's nervous expression disappeared and he smiled. "Can you teach me? I have a teacher, but he had to leave and go somewhere, so I haven't had anyone to practice with!"

Lute balked at this. She already had plans for this evening.

1: Get the draco shield

2: Give the shield to Vanessa (Reason: Vanessa previously gave me a secret book, AND she distracted the gargoyle, AND she fought the doog, AND she was nice even though I forgot her name a couple of times, so I owe her[Secret reason--Don't tell Vanessa: Something about her is interesting and I want to observe her more. Also, I like her pegasus, Titania.])

3: Ask Vanessa to help me get some body parts from the doogs. Vanessa said she would do that, so she kind of has to, right? (Reason: Vanessa is stronger than me and has lances with sharp blades so she can cut off parts for me. [Secret Reason--Don't tell Vanessa: I hate how bloody, slimy things feel and I don't want to touch the things myself even though I want to study them.])

4: Measure the body parts (Reason: Find evidence for my hypothesis--that doogs in southern areas of Magvel have longer claws in relation to their paws than doogs in more northern areas do!)

5: Tell Vanessa about what I found out. (Reason: She said she wanted to learn more about monsters, so she'll be glad to learn any new information I can find out. I'd like it if I can help her with that.)

Now, here was this boy asking for magic lessons!? Ugh...But he has the draco shield...So the plans won't work without that...so maybe I have to teach him something...ugh...

"Fine," Lute said. "I can teach you something. Has your teacher taught you to cast Elfire yet?"

The boy's eyes went wide. "Elfire!? I-I can still barely cast Fire every time! Are you gonna teach me to cast Elfire!?"

"What? You can't even cast Fire? That's no good. Watch me. If you can't do that you won't be able to do anything."

Before she knew it, Lute had spent the next couple hours teaching the boy how to cast Fire. Sometimes he even cast it without falling over! "He probably has some talent" she thought.

The boy--wait, did she forget to ask his name?--gave her the draco shield afterwards and Lute hurried to find Vanessa. It was getting dark, but it wasn't too late to go find some monster parts before getting some sleep in preparation for tomorrow's trip east.

Lute found Vanessa near the outskirts of the town.

"Vanessa! I have something for you!"

Vanessa turned around to see who was calling her. Lute found herself thinking, "She really is tall and strong, isn't she? I'm glad she protected me from the doog today. And the gargoyle the other day!"

"Lute!" Vanessa spoke sharply. "Where have you been!?"

Lute stopped. This...was not the reaction she had expected. What was this?

"You were supposed to be on guard duty! You're lucky I covered for you! I told Ephraim that you were checking the town for remaining monsters in hiding!"

Wait...was Vanessa...angry? Uh-oh. This was not part of the plan...

Vanessa noticed that Lute had frozen in her tracks and didn't seem to be reacting to what she was saying. She felt a small tightness in her chest. But why did she feel so bad about confronting Lute? Well, she deserves this, doesn't she? I mean, this is an army, not a picnic! There has to be some discipline!

But Vanessa found she didn't have the heart to continue. Why was she so unable to confront Lute in the same way she always did with her fellow pegasus knights? And even more so with the other soldiers she'd worked with! She remembered the time that one cavalier recruit came back from a night out, absolutely drunk off his head when he had practice the next morning. Vanessa had chewed him out, and then had made him go through the whole training regime the next morning while hungover. What was it about this ridiculous little woman standing in front of her that made her unable to be as strict as she usually was?

It was while she was thinking all of this that Vanessa realized that Lute still hadn't moved. "I guess I'll just be the bigger person," she thought. "Besides, I covered for her already, and our shift is done anyway. It's just water under the bridge."

"Hey, Lute," she said gently. "I'm sorry. I'm sure you had your reasons for not being here on guard duty. It's fine. Titania and I had it covered on our own. What is it you wanted to tell me?"

Lute was still frozen in place.

"Lute? You had something you wanted to say?"

"I..." Lute stuttered.

Then she continued. "I got this for you. I forgot about guard duty because the boy didn't give it to me and I had to teach him magic, and he couldn't cast Fire right, and it really bothered me because it's not that hard, but I realize maybe he hasn't done it much, so I got distracted trying to make sure he could do it right..." Lute scowled and clenched her hands, looking uncharacteristically frustrated.

"I should have remembered!" she muttered.

"It's fine, Lute. It's done. I covered for you. No one was hurt. How about you show me what you want to give me?"

Biting her lower lip, and without meeting Vanessa's eyes, Lute stuck out her hand. In it was a draco shield. "This. Take this. It's a draco shield. You gave me the book. And you distracted the gargoyle, and you fought the doog because you're bigger and stronger than me."

"...Thank you," Lute said after a moment.

She seemed to relax a little. "Also, you said that you would help me get monster parts if we had time, and we have time now."

Vanessa laughed. Wait, why was she laughing? There was something just so funny about it all to her! Vanessa, as a career pegasus knight, had heard so many absolutely awful excuses for missing duty or training in the past. And here she was, listening to the most incoherent excuse she had ever heard! And she wasn't even mad!

"It's the earnestness!" she thought. "Lute really means it! This isn't some phoney-baloney excuse like all those new recruits gave me all those times in the past. She's a hell of a mage, and a fighter--I've seen her--but she's not a soldier. How can I stay mad over this?"

"Lute, I would be glad to help you get some monster parts. I even remembered to prepare a bag for them." As the words came out, Vanessa grimaced at the thought of having to handle dead monster parts. But she had promised. "But just remember, Titania will be afraid of the smell, so I hope you have some herbs, or something that we can put in the bag with them to cover the smell."

Vanessa took the draco shield from Lute's still outstretched hand.

"It'll keep you safe," Lute mumbled, her eyes again not meeting Vanessa's. "And I have herbs that can cover the smell."

"Thank you for thinking of me and getting me something that will keep me safe, Lute."

Lute turned and started walking towards the docks. Then she stopped and looked back at Vanessa. "You're welcome," she said, and then continued walking.

Vanessa felt herself smiling. "I wasn't even sure if she was paying attention half of the times I talked to her, and she forgot my name I can't remember how many times, but then she goes out of her way to get me something to help keep me safe!"

During the night, Myrrh apologizes and leaves, and it's discovered that she's gone the next morning. Seth reports that some of the guards on duty saw a girl walking east.

"Strange," Ephraim thought. "I remember asking Vanessa and that mage girl, Lute, to watch the east gate. How could Myrrh have just walked right out without them noticing? The guards who saw Myrrh were stationed outside the town! I'll have to talk to Vanessa about this later."

Seth warns Ephraim about taking the whole army to chase after one girl, and Ephraim replies that he understands that, as a leader, he does need to be prepared to ignore emotions and do what's best for everyone. But he also insists that he wants to choose the path that is good for everyone, and he isn't willing to just write Myrrh off.

This Ephraim, what a mensch!

Next time: Colm returns?? Maybe??

A Venting Text, Never Sent

A text to my mother during a period of estrangement that never made it to its intended recipient. Reflecting on breaking cycles and understanding personal neurodivergence within the family structure.

One thing we have been working on as a family is this lesson: Just because you feel a type of way, doesn’t mean you get to make other people feel that way.

Example: (Husband) was tired from a long stint of work. He was snapping at (Daughter) and making her cry, and then arguing saying how he doesn’t feel good. I had to come in and remind him that’s it’s okay to feel like crap, but we can’t talk to each other and make each other feel like crap. We need to own how we feel and take responsibility for it, say what we need.

Later on, I was feeling crappy, and started snapping myself. I noticed, took a deep breath, and told (Husband) and (Daughter): “I feel overstimulated. I can’t do a whole lot right now. I can do this ONE thing, and then I need quiet time.”

I feel _____. I need _____. We’re working with scripts, because at least for me, that’s how I operate best. If I don’t have a script, I can’t compute. 

When it comes to learning about how my disability affects me: One thing I haven’t been able to get out of my head is one of the times I was trying to tell you some new things I learned about autism from a book Rachel recommended to me, and your response was “I don’t want to learn about autism, it’s too depressing.” - I also think a lot about how you’ve compared F* to an albatross chick. I get it, it’s hard, and you guys feel like you’re drowning, but it also makes me wonder if you’ve ever confronted internalized ableism.

What I find depressing about disability (especially autism/adhd) is that society isn’t adapted to how F is. That’s not his fault. It’s not your fault or my fault. Ableism is the one form of bigotry that enables all the other  -isms. “This one body and way of thinking is superior to all the rest”. Growing up with that implicitly being taught your whole life is hard to undo. I had a head start, but I still have to unlearn negative attitudes about myself and others, and I will probably never be done.

AuDHD for me means that I can do anything I find interesting or worthwhile. I can garden, paint, deep dive into whatever topic of the month I’m on. I feel everything way more intensely than everyone else. I’ve been chastised and made fun of for being sensitive, told to toughen up, “You’re not dead” - 

*F is my brother. His autism impacts him in more disabling ways than mine does, in that he is an echolalic communicator (otherwise known as a gestalt language processor, but growing up he was described as "non-speaking", despite the fact that he spoke quite a lot, just in movie quotes.)

Thank you 🌹❤

notes: i hope i get her character right KSJJSNS and who is howl🧍🏻‍♂️is it that beautiful bird guy from howl's moving castle

Having a happy and motherly personality, you're willing to keep those you care for safe.

You like doing fun things and is often seen as dimwitted at times but you can actually be very intelligent and serious when the situation calls for it.

You can get a little overprotective of those you care for but it's only because you fear they'll be taken away from you if danger strikes.

Riddle:

oh... o h..! o h ! !

as someone who doesn't have a good mother growing up, he is a little awkward with u

but theres smth he always lacked cough cough motherly love cough cough

so he soaked up ur affections even tho he feels pretty awkward about it

soon got used to it

now whenever he did smth amazing, he would turn to look at u like

is very happy to have u around, u actually got invited to every unbirthday party heartslabyul hosted

doesn't really mind u doing things u see as fun, as long as you're having fun and it's not dangerous

in fact, u might be able to make him join u if u coax him enough

but there's little chance of that happening since he mostly just watch u to make sure you didn't get hurt

he's pretty protective of u, you're protective of him

one time ppl talked behind his back and u taught them a lesson

got in trouble with the teachers after but it was worth it💪‼️

Leona:

doesn't like the happy energy at first

this is like cheka if he's grown up but less clingy to him and a little more on the motherly side

at first he thought u wanna butter him up

until he realizes, no. u actually care about him

he will never admit it but he soaks up the affection u gave him

might even get a little snappy and more grumpy if u don't pamper him enough

his tail is hitting the ground angrily

either u affection or u affection😡😡😡(i went emotes hunting so y'all getting all these images)

he does care abt the rumors and people talking smack about him but since he can't really do anything to change their minds, he just turn a blind eye

oh well until he saw u on ur way to argue with the people who talked smack about him

u almost got into a fight too LMFOAOAOA

well that was until he stepped in

he was smug about it btw, his tail is waving back and forth

don't mention it tho, unless u want him to smack ur face with it

Azul:

probably goes "i wanna talk to the manager" when he rope grim, ace and deuce into that contract with him

at first think you'll be an easy target until u did a 180 and catch him by his tentacles or smth

azul punching the air bc he should've known someone that appears dimwitted could be smart

he's around floyd a lot so he should've known

oh well no use crying over spilled milk amirite

once y'all stop having this mafia family feud, u guys might get along well

azul now have another bodyguard

bc whoever that breach the contract or talk smack about him

they'll have two tall scary eels and a prefect from another world after their ass

other than ur friends bc favoritism

azul doesn't know how yall went from going for each others throat to being friends

but hey, he's not one to reject good stuff🤔‼️

esp since be really likes how u try to make him take care of himself especially if he overworked

Kalim:

YOU like doing fun stuff, HE likes doing fun stuff

you know who doesn't like the fun stuff tho? jamil.

bc if you two slip up and got into trouble, he's the one who have to pull kalim away from it

and pull u out of trouble too or else the teacher will see the lie or smth

kalim had a really fun time with u! u match his energy so well and he had so much fun with u‼️

expect magic carpet rides with him

no matter the time, he would literally have u ride the magic carpet with him especially if you ask

since he's the first born(correct me if I'm wrong), he's always the one taking care of his siblings

so having u take care of him and fuss over him kind of makes him go 🤔🤩‼️

now kalim have two protectors

be careful nrc or anyone who doesn't like him, u don't wanna mess with kalim and his snake protector and his alpaca protector

Vil:

the mom friends meeting each other🤝

he fuss abt ur appearance and well being, u fuss about his appearance and well being

well maybe not his appearance since he always look at his 100🤔

he's not used to someone looking after him since he is completely capable of taking care of himself

but it's a nice feeling so he doesn't really mind much after a while

won't let u mess up his diet or touch his appearance since he spend a lot of time taking care of them himself and make them perfect

so instead, just try to make sure he had enough rest and is hydrated or smth🤔or check if he's feeling especially down bc of neige(?how to spell) or smth

he'll really appreciate it‼️

just bc he's famous, doesn't mean everyone will like him so some students were probably mocking him behind his back or smth

vil just scoffed abt it and was abt to wrnt along his day when u step in instead

he is also very smug abt it for the rest of the week btw

Idia:

oh no its an extrovert

cries a little on the inside whenever u approach him

he literally almost bolted away from u

‼️ why are u being so nice to him, there's many others here that u can give that same treatment to pls just ignore him and leave him alone‼️

but he got used to it soon

since you're literally taking care of him and always respects him boundaries

he's even comfortable enough to let u in his room after

now he have a mother figure taking care of him

u took care of his meals, tried to let him have his daily dose of sunlight

he's not used to this but he's fine with it^^!!

other than the going out part ofc

unless its just u three(u, him and ortho) then maybe hes ok with it🤔

one time someone badmouthed idia when you were around with idia's tablet

since ur figure is covering the tablet, they didn't really see him so they just

talk shit

so now they have u after them

idia:

talk shit get hit amirite💪💪💪

Malleus:

fuck this jmage i hate whoever that did this

oh well uh, does this explain enough?

he's more than happy to find and do fun stuff with u

gargoyles hunting, late night walks that turned to a racing contest to the ramshackle dorm's door, anything!

he especially liked how u always cheerfully greet him and fuss over his well being

actually got worried about his sleep schedule and was about to make him sleep in ramshackle once

until he told u faes don't need that much sleep

u going🤨 before hesitantly going along

actually caught some people talking about how they were scared of him and all

he's kind of down abt it since pls. pls someone just approach him and be his friend. he wants one.

until he saw u step in and scold them (u don't know he's there btw)

sure, malleus looks intimidating and is a very powerful magician but he's not gonna eat u just bc u made eye contact or smth😡

the students just having to listen and nod their heads at u bc they know they have no chance at rebuttal

the diasomnia residents are very happy there's no thunder or storm that day since the dorm leader seems very happy^^

Traitor of Atlas: In history class in beacon Professor Oobleck is teaching the class about the traitor and has the class decide whether he’s a good guy or not which ends up dividing the class

A Matter of Differing Perspectives

Weiss: He’s a villian!

Blake: He’s a hero!

Weiss: He betrayed his kingdom, and killed his fellow countrymen!

Blake: To save innocent faunas who were about to be slaughtered by, Atlas forces for just being faunas!

Oobaleck: Settle down children, settle down. While you both make good points, you miss onw of the key aspects upon why, Jaune Arc is seen as such a controversial character. Ms. Nikos, do you know what that one things is?

Pyrrha: The fact he was considered a villain, and a hero before he betrayed, Atlas?

Oobaleck: Correct! Prior before his betrayal he was considered a hero by the forces of, Atlas, and a villain to those that opposed them. Thus resulting in him developing a rather uncertain stance in public opinion. For he is considered a hero, villain, and neither, based upon whom you talk to. But nonetheless, he is an individual who is regarded in high esteem by both of them, but not for what he didnthat day. Can any students care to guess why?

Ruby: Oh! I know, I know!

Oobaleck: Yes, Ms. Rose?

Ruby: He is held in high regard because of his tactical brilliance, and his skill as a huntsman.

Oobaleck: Correct! But, why is that, Ms. Schnee.

Weiss: The tactics he created, and pioneered during the war are the bases of many current military doctrine used by the Atlas military. Many of the battles are in fact taught to students of Atlas Academy. Mostly to those that decide to join the military, than become Hunters.

Oobaleck: Correct. His strategies were the tide changers in many a battle. In fact, before he joined Atlas’s war effort they were losing, badly. After he joined, Atlas, and Mistral started winning and were pushing, the forces of, Vale, Vacuo, and their faunas allies back. When he defected to the faunas, this stance in the war quickly, and harsh changed in the other direction.

Ren: Would Atlas, and Mistral won the war if he didn’t defect?

Oobaleck: While, it unsure for certain what would have happened, many scholars and military theorist do agree that, Atlas would have won the war. This is based on the simple fact of how easily the tide of war changed, whether or not he was directly involved in a battle. At the end of the day class, whatever, Mr. Arc’s position is in the public eye, it is based upon your personal opinion. Of which, there is one students opinion, I’m sure we would all like to hear about; Ms. Arc?

Jeanne: M-M-Me?!

Oobaleck: Yes you, Ms. Arc. Would you like to tell the class what your personal opinion about your older brother is?

Jeanne: Uhhh… No…?

Oobaleck, ‘No?’ And, why is that?

Jeanne: I was only around five, since I last saw my brother. And, it wasn’t until years later I was able to comprehend what my brother did. And, there are… other reasons why I can’t really express my opinion…

Oobaleck: And, those are?

… : Probably because of how our dad reacted the last time we talk. That was… civil…

Oobaleck: Excuse me, who are…?! W-What are you doing here?!

Jaune: Excuse the interruption, Professor. I came looking for my students to see how they were doing. Then I just so happened to stumble across a history class talking about me, a rather surreal experience in all honesty. However, I found someone far more interesting than all of that in the end. Hello, Jeanne.

Jeanne: Jaune…?

Jaune: I don’t mean to be rude, but may I talk to my sister? Privately of course.

Oobaleck: Of course; if Ms. Arc is…?!

Jeanne: L-Let’s go to my room! N-Now!

Jaune: Huw? Okay. I shall take my leave then; again, sorry for interrupting your lesson. Have fun kids!

Weiss: T-That’s the Traitor…?

Pyrrha: He seems rather… normal?

Nora: Do you think I could take him?

Ren: I’m not sure, Jeanne would like it if you attacked her older brother.

Ruby: Where’s the cape?! I heard he had a cape! Hero’s need to have a cape!

Yang: And, who didn’t mention that he was fucking hot! Why didn’t you say he was hot, Blake?!

Blake: I refuse to answer that…
