Characters: College!Spider-Verse!Miles Morales 

Type: headcanons

Synopsis: What would our lovely boy Miles be like as a grown up college student? Does he change or does he still keep his dorky, boyish demeanor?

A/N: HAPPY JUNETEENTH TO MY FELLOW NEGROS!!! In honor of Juneteenth and the release of ATSV, I'm dumping some headanons on yall, and I'm so proud of how these turned out. I was talking with my friend how we heavily believed that we would see a grown up Miles but when we found out only a year passed in Miles’ timeline for him, the topic of college!Miles came up. So these headcanons are pretty much a product of how we thought miles would be as a college student around our age.

Note: the first pic is of Shameik Moore, I just used a cartoon filter over it to try and make it look like the art style in the spiderverse franchise. The third one is not Shameik Moore but I use the same cartoon filter over it for the same effect

Warnings: Some cursing but that’s about it. KEEP IT CUTE PG-16 CUZ THIS IS NEPHEW WE TALKIN' BOUT HERE!!!

College!Miles isn’t a complete one-eighty of his mid-teen self, but rather, he builds on the defining attributes of his youth and matures them. He’s still pretty self-effacing, modest and humble, but he’s more confident in himself and the man he wants to become. He’s selfless and courageous and loving to a fault, and anyone who’s anyone who has been in his presence can say that Miles is a great person all around.

College!Miles ends up going to study in New Jersey, majoring in Physics Engineering, but also minoring in African Psychology on the track for social work. He knows that he can only do so much good behind his Spiderman mask, and believes that he should also be putting in the work when he isn’t wearing it. It’s an obligation for him to put his best food forward for his community and his people.

College!Miles who mixes his style with 90’s black streetwear and modern day. He’s a sneakerhead, so his dorm room gradually accumulates with boxes upon boxes of shoes damn near reaching the ceiling. His room back home is much worse though (Rio can’t even clean his room anymore because everywhere she looks, it’s a box of shoes chucked somewhere. Mama has given up lmao). And similar to the first outfit we see him in in ATSV, he loves the sports-jersey-over-solid-color-shirt combo, but has a decent amount of hoodies and tee’s both graphic and plain, that he likes to throw on with a pair of jeans and shoes. He knows how to dress, and he knows that he looks good in what he wears too.

College!Miles who never steps out the house without a chain on. He’s got two specific ones that he wears primarily - a silver cuban link his parents got him for his eighteenth birthday that he wears daily, and a gold snake chain that he bought for himself with his first check from his first big boy job. There are other necklaces that he has that he’ll throw on it he wants to switch things up. He’s not a big fan of things on his wrist (he’s gotten too used to the web shooters that everything else just feels funny or wrong), but he has a watch that he only wears to be fancy and a couple of rings that go on his middle or forefingers. He also has a few pairs of studded earrings he switches between every now and then to keep up a fresh look.

College!Miles who starts to take special care in his appearance as he reaches his late teen years. He can only go to his mom when he’s on breaks or vacation when he travels back to Brooklyn, but he’s learned enough from Rio to do his own line-ups and touch ups to make him look decent. It took him a minute to get used to doing it on his own, but he was adamant on learning because he was firm on not letting anyone else into his head besides his mother. He’d recently gotten into cutting slits into his eyebrows too, as they make him feel super cool

College!Miles who knows he’s got girls & guys coming left and right waiting for the opportunity to get with him, but as much as he’s a loverboy, he’s also very intentional with how he moves and is very perceptive of people (his Spidey senses enhance it a lot more than what he wishes sometimes) that he peeps that a lot of them are only attracted to his looks. He doesn’t date for the first few semesters of college, and when his parents ask if he’s gonna bring someone home soon, he tells them that he’s too busy making gateways to dimensions to open the gateways to dating

College!Miles whose love for hip hop never dies over the years. Instead it seems to grow. He adds a few new artists to her playlist - JID, Young M.A., Tobe Nwigwe, & Kendrick Lamar from the hip hop and rap scenes (Miles uses many of Tobe’s songs as hype music to gas himself up). Though he’s also found an appreciation for other genres, like R&B and Neo-Soul. Some of these artists include but are not limited to: H.E.R., UMI, Ari Lennox, and Bryson Tiller.

College!Miles who still holds on to his art as a hobby and destresser from his many classes and double-identity. His street art follows him wherever he goes, tagging new places that have people wondering who the hell made it all the way up there to tag that. There’s a secret pride that swells in him when he sees passersby admiring the artwork.

College!Miles who, when the world gets too much and he feels like everythings going wrong, he climbs the tallest building he can find and just watches the sunrise or sunset. He lets the breathtaking view ease his mind and the warm sun soothe his worries away. Being so high up and away from people allows him to actually think about the troubles that plague him, so when he comes back down, he can address them accordingly

College!Miles who’s still very much a momma’s boy. He calls Rio almost every day, either to just talk or to rant about something silly. She’ll put him on speaker for Jefferson to hear and just looks at her husband like “Listen to your son” when he’s being silly. But it’s so sweet that Miles always has his parents on his mind when he’s away at school. He also calls his dad to have ‘guy talk’, which ain’t nothing but Miles and Jefferson either talking about sports, his academics (which Jeff is really supportive of, even if he doesn’t understand the physics part, he loves to hear his sons ideas on the psychology minor he’s taken on) or random funny shit the guys that they hang around do every day.

College!Miles who grows more confident in his Spanish and uses it more and more in his day-to-day life. He’ll speak it when he’s talking to himself, when he’s angry or if he’s hurt himself (which happens the same amount of times as it did when he was a teen), or he’ll try and surprise his mom with a conversation in complete Spanish (which he does succeed in sometimes).

College!Miles who’s barely changed from the loveable boy who we all know and love as a teen. He just grew some more and became cooler, but he still radiates the same dorky, intelligent, and loving energy he’s always had.

ONE PIECE 1123 Spoilers!

This week's condolences:

Yes... teach the children well... this is how you combat transphobia

alternate title for this chapter: 'Vegapunk voice all according to keikaku'

I intially felt this chapter was mostly information we could have inferred, but tbqh the emotional perspective this chapter offers from Stella & co is really valuable. It goes a long way to giving them some much needed emotional spotlight on them that Egghead (imo) didn't offer enough of prior.

That sure is some selective conker haki if S-Snake and presumably Stussy and Kaku were spared. Maybe Haki Ancient-Style is a different kind of spice

Christ, all that and without any hostile intent... OP op

"THANK YOUUU!! GIANT ROBOOOO!!" my thoughts exactly, ty Luffy

Emet looks fairly kaput now... thank you indeed... this gives me a bad feeling though... we know Saturn is still present... what if he purloins Emet's remains and uses them for nefarious experiments? They're Ancient Kingdom tech, surely the spider bastard can extract much-sought info from this...?

the gay giants are right, let's vamoose from this debacle fellas

I think even in a denser chapter, this would still be my highlight. Our future Brave Warrior of the Sea is FINALLY GOING TO FUCKIGN ELBAF BABES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also like the moment of solace with Bonney... she's earned this ; ;

Sanji might be onto something... we're not quite done with Vegapunk yet lads, even if Egghead is just about over. Just a gut feeling...

I love how VP immediately assumes the evil Satellite is responsible for the Mother Flame robbery lmao. Shows what you know humble genius!

Dummy memories and vid footage to fool the hivemind is a solid answer tbh. York is pretty cute smart after all

"Also forgive me Lilith!!" putting the humble in humble genius

Wow, York had been planning this for much longer than assumed, and was pretty thorough about it.

Ah ykw I guess we never did learn just HOW York got the Mother Flame to the WG without the rest learning. Fair dues Oda.

Okay. I actually really do appreciate this perspective of the Vegapunks accepting their impending deaths and facing it head-on with one final plan. To learn one is going to die, to be killed by those one served, and for the 'crime' of wanting to uncover the secrets of the past, hidden for (assumedly) malevolent purpose... and then boldly deciding to not let it be for nothing... that's fucking good. I'm a sucker for when characters die on their own terms, especially when it's at the expense of the enemy, and I love this example. I've had such mixed feelings wrt Vegapunk throughout Egghead, but this has really tipped me more or less over in favour of auld applehead. ily Vegapunks. rip mates

"We were thinking the same thing!!" 😭😭😭

They really were trying to think of everything before the final hour...

"But that is stays incomplete is my only hope..." 😭😭😭😭😭

"NONE OTHER THAN OUT ULTIMATE TRIUMPH" SAY IT WITH ME LADS

"DEATH?? WHOSE, MINE??" I will forever love that there is always room for comedy in these dire moments.

The VPs wiping their memories feels. a little superfluous here, but I guess with York still present and the WG approaching, no chances could be taken for the ultimate You Didn't Win.

Man good thing Vegapunk is about to die or all those whats woulda given him a stroke

Poor Sanji... being told to let someone die just goes against so much of who he is :<

"I want your crew to be the ones who get it" 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

pls put the pruned pirate king down fellas he needs a nap

"ONWARD TO ELBAF ONWARD TO MY DREAM" FCKING SAY IT BRAVE WARRIOR OF THE SEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

god i'm so glad Egghead is over, this arc was immense but I'm beyond excited to see Elbaf after so many years of buildup!! AND a new chapter next week! On the road again nakama, I'll see ye all there! 💪✖️

[bow-wow-wark-wark]

Ok people, it's time for my (amazingly self indulgent) hypnosis mic mic ranking!!! Woo, the criteria is how much I like it and how easy it is too hold (this is probably very biased btw)

1st would be buster bros (grouping all together 😖sry)

3/10

RIP to my boys but this shit is like super boring.... I always found the Bs a little corny and they look a bit akward on the mic... points for being easy to hold but that ring thing sounds super annoying tbh. The solid colors looks nice tho... maybe if it had different colors it would be more interesting...

Next samatoki

5/10

1st finding a good picture was sooo hard!!! (This one is pretty good but I wanted to see if I could get a better one, it's also the reason the random skeleton pic is there) IN FACT if he puts the skull to face him, it just looks like a mildly old style mic... ok so, shape wise is pretty interesting but nothing groundbreaking, the skull thing is sorta corny (idk why but I find it a bit funny, like pfft) on holdability, I feel like it most be sorta hard to hold bc, the like intriquete carving (??!?!?) On the mic, also the base is sooooo long you could very easyly stumble on it and make a fool out of yourself on stage.

Jyuto

3-4/10 (idk 😑) *the picture says "this thing"*

Ok so 1st it's really boring, like it really just looks like a black square... (lmao) ummm like it's pretty fitting to who he is bc it's literally a police speaker but uncool. Holdability: pretty good, thought it looks a little small, also the entire mic gets obscured by his hand.

Rio

5/10 *the pic says "what could have been"*

Just want to state that in the wiki it says that the red things are red ribbons and I thought It would be a bow..... it isnt *sniff sniff* Anywho so on actual design, is nice. Nothing super big, I like the red on the ribbons  brings good contrast, but i have to admit is pretty much just like jyutos. Nonetheless  (and on the holdability point part) it's very big!!! Allowing you to hold it nicely, (that's what brings the score up)

Ramuda

8/10

Ok so it might be pretty much just a mic with cute colors but I think it looks super cute!! The color combo is a classic and super sweet, the easyR written on barbie looking leter is totes sweet too (bet it has glitter and shit), and it really screams candy or baby toy which goes well with ramuda. My only complain is the bow, like it's cute but i dont like it that much. On holdability is solid, the only problem would be on the letters but its great.

Gentaro

7.5/10

Design wise a candle stick phone is very interesting!! It's relatively period accurate with (what I judged the era to be on) gentaros clothes and all that. The colors are pretty tame, and fit gentaros palete nicely. On holdability tho, it seems like a hassle but it's nothing too strong and it creates nice theatrics, I think. Solid mic.

Dice

2/10

Ok this one is actually, like, really ugly... i don't really like this style of mic too much and the shapes are ehg, color wise it's ok I guess. On Holdability: pretty hard I'd say, cause you have to throw your fingers on the holes of the S. Edit: Just read the mic description and its supposed to be a dollar sign... I'm so dumb

Jakurai

8/10

Wow!! I love jakurais mic!!! Yeah, yeah, I know I know, it's relatively simple; it's a mic w wings, but NO!!! 1st I looove all the doctor motifs; the fact that it looks like that doctor staff thing, and the IV drop!!! TOTES COOL, I like how the snake (it seems to be more visible on the manga) is also the iv drop cord thing!!! 10/10 very interesting. On holdability.... not that good  you cant really hold the actual stick bc it's full of shit, the iv drop could get in the way; and it's very long so increasing tripping chances; also + jakurais hair it takes too much space.

Ok!! Ending it here bc picture limit and stuff, going to post the other part separately btw. Sorry if there's any spelling mistakes, or if it feels too stupid, this is just self indulgent. This is all in good fun btw pls dont take it too seriously, thanks 😉😉

Missed You

Ship: Dabi x reader

Rated: Explicit

Word Count: 2k

Summary: Dabi meant to come see you last week. He really did. He just got busy, but he’s here now whether you like it or not. 

Warnings: Language, Choking, Biting, Vaginal Fingering, dubcon(ish not really)

AN: dabi’s fucking weird lmao

________________________

Dabi closes the door to your apartment gently behind him. He’s late by maybe a week. But hey, who can blame him? He’s a busy man, and at the end of the day, you’re not dating. Not really. He’s not going to take you out to fancy dinners or hold your hand while you walk through the park. Well, at least not when the sun’s up. It’s not his style. 

And even if he wanted to, he can’t. He can’t give you all the things he knows you want. But whenever he brings it up, you put your hands on your hips and jerk your chin at him, insisting that you don’t need any of that sentimental crap. But he knows you deserve better. Whatever.

Despite his edge, something sharp pokes at his heart when he hears the shower running. He kicks off his shoes and lets his jacket fall from his shoulders, a cruel smirk pulling at his lips. He shuffles towards your bathroom, and as he gets closer, he realizes he can hear music streaming through the door. Perfect.

The door opens softly, waves of humidity flowing into his face along with the notes of whatever band you were listening to. Your voice reaches his ears as you hum along to the music, words intermingling with nonsense. The wicked grin on his face stretches wide as he jerks an arm out to yank back your shower curtain.

A scream claws its way out of your throat, and you stumble trying to cover yourself with your arms. Your eyes focus on puckered patchwork skin, and you breathe out his name, hanging your head as you sigh. Dabi smirks as you shake your head, eyeing the way water rolls off your body. The water splashes out of the shower, forming puddles on the floor. You turn your gaze up, fixing Dabi with a glare.  

“Dabi,” you hiss. “Mrs. Mai is gonna get mad about the water.” He sneers as your concern, pulling off his shirt before fumbling with his belt.

“If that old hag downstairs gives you any shit, let me know.” His voice is calm and cruel, sending chills down your spine. You cross your arms and try to ignore the way your stomach flips when Dabi’s eyes seize the newly exposed flesh.

“Dabi.” His eyes lazily trail up your body before landing on your eyes. He’s really here. You bite down on your tongue, ignoring the sour taste in your mouth. “You said you were gonna be here last week.” His face hardens at your comment, but only for a moment. His cruel smile reappears as he kicks his pants off.

“Must’ve gotten caught up with something,” he murmurs, distant and cold. Your face twists unpleasantly at the thought. You let your eyes appraise him, making note of the small bruises and cuts that pepper his already marred skin. You knew what he did; how could you not? But your stomach still curdles at the thought of losing Dabi.

“Yea, that sounds right. I got so busy I forgot to come back,” he taunts. You pout as his words, but it just spurs him on. He slips off his boxers and steps in the shower, invading your space.

“Hmm? Does that bother you?” You steal your eyes over his shoulder, not wanting to give him the satisfaction of a reaction. But he moves forward, crowding you against the wall until there’s nowhere left to look but at him. His arms create a solid cage around you, not letting you escape.

“Why are you upset?” His breath fans over your face, and your eyes flick down to his lips. “Did you miss me?”

Something dark creeps into his voice, making you shiver. Your nod is almost discernable, but the growing smirk indicates he saw it. He’s got you right where he wants you. A finger trails down your neck, before his hand lightly grasps your throat. “Use your words.” He gives your throat a light squeeze and cocks his head to the side, waiting.

You shift under his intense, hot gaze and drag the words out, giving him what he wants.

“I missed you,” you choke out, watching as his eyes darken. He leans towards you and licks a hot stripe along the side of your face.

“Dabi!” you whine unhappily. You grimace and try to shift away from him, but his grip on your throat tightens past the point of comfort. In a panic, your hands fly to your throat and tug at his hand. He freezes, no longer tightening his hand, but not letting you go. You feel his cock twitch against you, and your pussy clenches around nothing.

He releases your throat, and you breathe heavily against him, the tension thickening in the heat from the water. In an instant, Dabi surges forward molding his lips against yours in a searing kiss. His scarred skin is pressed firmly against yours, rubbing against you in a way that sets a fire in the pit of your stomach. His hands clutch painfully at your hips, and you can feel the bruises beginning to form.

His lips are warm against yours. Almost too warm. His stapled skin is also hot, practically burning your nerves. One hand squeezes your hips, making you squirm, before trailing up to gently tease your nipple. You thread your hands through his hair, tugging, trying to yank him closer. A groan vibrates through his chest, and pride bubbles up in your blood. 

He harshly pinches your nipple, making you gasp. Dabi takes the opportunity to slip his tongue into your mouth, all while still tweaking your nipple. His tongue maps out the soft warmth of your mouth, and he rocks his hips into you, letting his cock drag against your skin.

He pulls away to catch his breath, but when he tries to find your lips again, you turn your face away, escaping from his burning mouth.

“What’s wrong?” he murmurs against you, letting his head dip down to suck marks along the side of your neck. Your fingers massage his scalp as you try to catch your breath.

“Dabi,” you breathe out, “I… I have somewhere to be.” His fiery lips still against you, and he pulls away from you. His face hardens, lips pressing into a firm line. His head cocks to the side, waiting for you to explain what could be so important to drag you away from him now. You swallow past the lump in your throat, trying not to buckle under the pressure of his attention.

“I’m going to meet my friends at-” you cut yourself off when he bucks his hips harshly into you.

“I finally make it over here, and you wanna leave,” he taunts. You narrow your eyes, feeling the maelstrom of emotions swirling in the air. They’re hot and sharp, crackling unpleasantly and intensely like lighting. You lean forward, pointing a defiant finger into his chest.

“You were supposed to be here earlier.” He rolls his eyes, grabbing your hand and jerking you forward. You stumble into his arms, and he clutches you tightly, attacking your lips with a sloppy, open-mouthed kiss. The hot water rains down on your skin, adding to the burning sensation deep inside you. His hands snake down to squeeze your ass, and you moan into the kiss.

His hands continue to squeeze and wander your available flesh, letting himself get lost in the noises you make and the way your body opens up for him. Dabi rocks his hips into you, letting his cock rub against your body. 

He traces a hand along the side of your body, letting it slide in between. You squirm as his finger swipes along your pussy lips. As if burned, you try to shift away, remembering your plans for the evening. But Dabi is intoxicating, and he pulls you down into dizzying dark depths.

“My friends...” you mumble against him, knowing you’ve already lost the battle. A disappointed noise rumbles through his chest, and he gently pinches your clit, making your hips cant against him.

“Not tonight,” he whines, pressing burning kisses into the side of your face. “Not when this pussy’s so wet for me.” He pushes one of his fingers into you, thumb rubbing harsh circles on your clit. Your hips cant against him, and you whine as he bites into the juncture of your shoulder. You rock against him, trying to push yourself towards the ledge he wants you to fall over, but Dabi laughs at your feeble attempts.

“You want more?” he murmurs into your ear. You nod, hands tugging at his hair. He pushes in a second finger and pumps them into you harshly. You moan trying to pull him back so you can kiss him. He chuckles and easily shakes himself out of your grasp. “What do you want? Use your words,” he teases. You whine, letting your hips buck against him.

At your lack of response, his thumb digs harshly into your clit, making you cry out. “I said use your words.” His tone is sharp against your ears, and you shudder. You narrow your eyes petulantly at him, and he scowls. When he realizes you’re not going to give in so easily, he rips his hand away from your needy cunt. You let out a cry of frustration at the emptiness inside you and weakly try to grab his wrist. He yanks his hand out of your grasp and turns off the water.

“Dabi, wait!” you cry out, but he’s already stepping out of the shower. He turns around to look at you, face impassable. He blinks at you slowly, waiting. The cold air plucks at your skin, goosebumps forming everywhere. Your music plays quietly in the background, and you take a deep breath, trying to steady yourself.

“I wanted you to kiss me,” you whisper. He doesn’t move, letting your words hang heavy in the air. You squirm under his intense gaze, and a cruel smile spreads on his face.

“I know.”

Dabi surges forward, cupping your face with his rough hands, and he kisses you harshly. You stumble, but he braces you with his body. His piercings and staples scrape across your skin, and he drags you forward out of the shower. His teeth clash against yours, and he spreads his palm out behind your head, holding you in place.

Your nails scrape across his chest and he groans against you. Dabi breaks away from you, leaving small nips against your neck.

“Say it again,” he whispers into your neck, voice softer than normal. You furrow your brows, head tilting to give him better access to your neck. Dabi’s normally so harsh, unbridled fury wrapped up in lean muscle and patchwork skin. But there’s something different in his voice. Not necessarily soft, but different. It’s hot and sticky and echoes through your brain.

“That I wanted you to kiss me?” you ask, confusion coloring your words. He shakes his head, hands trailing back down to your hips, squeezing the flesh there.

“That you missed me.”

Oh.

The hot, syrupiness that you heard in Dabi’s voice flows through your veins now, making your mind slow like honey. You hum in contentment, his words bouncing around your brain. You weave your hands back into his hair, holding him close to you.

“I missed you, Dabi.” His nips transition to kisses, and makes his way up your neck to your jaw.

“Again.”

“I missed you, Dabi.” He licks a hot stripe along your jaw, making you squirm. His grip tightens uncomfortably on your waist.

“Again.”

“I missed you so much, Dabi!” A bruising kiss sears itself to your lips, and you moan. You’re dragged from the bathroom to the cold comfort of your bed. He’s on you instantly, fingers buried inside your wet cunt, pushing you to the release he had denied you earlier. His touch and kisses leave you burning, reeling, but craving more.

He’s insatiable, and far too much to handle, and is most likely going to leave your burning and broken, but you don’t care. You missed him, after all.

final kingdom rankings

i decided to do the dumb thing that took too long and ranked all of the kingdom stages based on my personal opinion and ranked my top 7 over all (unit stages included). once again this is an opinion and i’m more then happy to discuss other opinions on the stages, but don’t use this post to bash me or others if it differs from your own. this will include notes on both the performance and the music itself.

with that said i’ll keep it under the cut as this will probably be a long post (spoiler: it is </3):

quick note: i watched all the stages by group and each stage in chronological order as i was taking notes. there may be some repeats of things or i bring up something that’s in a lower ranking stage if a higher ranking stage was one of the more recent ones (hope that makes sense). also if you don’t want to read everything there’s a top 5 ranking and my own final group ranking at the bottom.

skz:

stage 3 - i’ll be your man: seungmin and jisung vocals!!! i’m still not too familiar with the original btob song so i’m not sure how skz’s version varies from it, but their version i think fits their team really well. chan took a little bit of a back burner this stage, but we really got to hear the vocal side of skz shine through this song esp in their lower register which i think it stronger then their upper one lmao. jisung is really the only one (that i think) can belt some of those high notes so consistently. on the actual performance side of things there was an interesting use of sets and props, but not over done. there were some really ineresting dance breaks esp at the end of the song. the story of the stage was also i think one of skz’s strongest (and no guns <3). i really hope skz does a song like this in the future cause they can obviously pull it off.

stage 2 - side effects / god’s menu: really loved how we got to see a different side of skz on this stage with their acting! i don’t think they had another stage that was quite like this one. also loved the mixing again with both side effects and god’s menu with how they used felix as the transition between the two songs, and the FAT synths during the ‘my head hurts’ right before going into god’s menu. while this is a strong stage musically, acting and energy wise. i feel like there was too much of a reliance on props and a lot of work was done by the dancers which was visually amazing!! but skz is a strong dance group too and i wish it wasn’t as flashy as it was.

final stage - wolfgang: this stage and their 2nd stage are honestly tied but i think wolfgang is slightly lower cause i prefer the mixing for the 2nd stage. really dissapointed there was no epic organ player that was killed at the end </3 but that aside i would say wolfganf is a just a really strong skz song that’s a little more in the 3racha style. i really liked how they tied in some of the points from their intro stages with the green mouth light things and some of the samples used in the track! the reason it’s middle of the pack (haha get it cause their wolves.....i’ll stop) for me is similar to the side effects stage as it relies a lot on their dancers and props. it was a really nice ending performance to end their time on kingdom. (also one of their most messiest stages, but it was probably the one with the least amount of time for practice with everything lmao)

intro stage - miroh: really great intro stage for the skz cause we really got a taste of what was to come with kingdom (sadly no jinnie). the mixing was insane and one of my faves i think for skz (esp minho’s part <3). it had the same height of energy as the original tack, just much darker, and there was decent balance between vocals, dance, and rapping. it also showed their great work as a team with the small stunts in the choreo.

stage 4 - god’s menu x d4: don’t get me wrong, this stage is really neat with the deadpool stuff, but it’s also a stage that won’t really age that well? it was more on the gimmicky side of kingdom stages and i’m not sure why they had a large chunk of the choreo with guns???? that’s not needed that you. going into the good things...binnie popped off!! he really stuck out to me this stage rap wise. also the drop for the first d4 chorus was very unexpected but also really satisfying? kinda reminds me of the drop in the chorus for 1team’s ‘make this’ (go check it out if you don’t know the song). over all a really fun stage and their energy was really good, but just wish it wasn’t quite and gimmicky as it was </3

ateez: man i miss mingi....comeback soon king

final stage - the real: ok this stage is also really really close to their wonderland stage but is just SLIGHTLY ahead it. this stage was probably one of the most fun ones to watch out of ateez’s kingdom performances because they seemed so loose? like they were really just feeling themselves on this stage and it just looked like they were really enjoying themselves out there like this is what they were born to do. i also love this song and it’s one of my fave recent releases from ateez again (i’m not too big of a fan of their fever series sorry </3). the energy, rap, vocals, choreo was just all there. i’m just really glad we were able to see one of these stages again where we go to see the group really just let loose and half so much fun performing before the end of kingdom.

stage 2 - from the wonderland: look...i KNOW there’s a tentacle, but i’m going to look past that. it might be the favoritism towards wonderland as it is one of my top ateez titles, but i think it they did do a really good job mashing it together with symphony no. 9. there was a decent balance between using props/reliance on dancers and the group actually dancing. jongho slayed that high note at the end, and it was actually placed well in the song where it didn’t seem out of place. and them the OUTRO just represents one of the main reason’s i love ateez with their amazing energy. high energy song, high energy choreo...just the perfect ending to get you hyped. also one last note....seonghwa looked so hot when he was walking through the line of dancers with that rifle (he just looked good this whole stage <3).

stage 3 - the awakening of summer: a very different style from the original and i’d say even a different style for ateez but it still works?? the beginning was a lil cheesy and not sure how the whisper talking/rapping through most of the song works for me, but the INSTRUMENTAL pls play it at my funeral...that synth line <3 i really liked the little choreo with the rope that san did and the overall choreo was also really strong. the outro was a little let down on the energy of it. it may be cause there was some slight timing issues with the vocals and backing track or they were just missing SOMETHING for it, but jongho slayed that belted note once again where i’m not too mad at it lmao.

stage 4 - answer: in the first half i really thought this was going to be one of my fave stages for ateez as the added strings were a nice touch and i loved how they made some references to their past songs and overall concept story line. overall musically in the first part it was decently balanced with a few ode to joy and answer. once it got to the part where it was the opera singers i was????? if they stopped there i think it could have still worked, but the ending there was just so much going on but it was also missing so much as well?? i didn’t understand jongho’s one belted note at the end. this was the only stage where i really felt it didn’t fit. they either needed to not add it at all or have him have one other note after it with maybe a break between the two notes to make it feel more complete. overall...a decent stage, but it really just didn’t have that ateez polish on it.

intro stage - wave: ok tbh i....kinda hated this stage? NOTHING on ateez or wave, just the song did not translate to the style they ended up choosing for it. i think say my name would have been a really strong intro song in the final style chose esp since it didn’t come up in their later stages. the choreo was really strong, but honestly the mixing just seemed like they forced two pieces together that didn’t fit.

the boyz: ok i just want to write a quick note as a general opinion i have across all their stages. tbz is a really solid group overall esp with dancing, but i feel like for kingdom they played it safe in a lot of ways and we didn’t see much variation of wow factors from their stages. they were good!! just (usually) fairly predictable like they set the bar high and then just never raised it again </3

stage 4 - monster: this ranks so high partially cause i love exo’s monster sm but besides that point </3 the vocal line seemed to be pretty much a copy paste from the original (not a bad thing at all) but once again the instrumental my beloved <3 i think because the vocal line was pretty much the same as exo’s made it a really nice balance between the original and tbz version. i wasn’t too sure about the giant snake towards the end, but it actually wasn’t too bad as it was more of just the use of an entrance, then just a bg prop after that. as with all of their stages, the choreo was really solid, but it was the arrangement of the song that really put this performance on the top.

final stage - kingdom come:  dance wise i think this is my favorite out of all their stages. they had neat transitions from their pre recorded parts of the stage and the live part of the stages. really liked the part where the hand off screen was controlling the chroeo. then the dance break/outro!! not sure what it was, but i think it just really highlighted their strengths in dancing as a group. the song itself didn’t stand out at all and i think that’s why it ranks lower then their monster stage. it sounds a lot like checkmate to me (possible blended with salty???) so it’s a solid track, but it just doesn’t sound that different from their past ‘finale sounding’ tracks. it was a nice stage to end on for them as it was really solid, and it capped of their time with the kingdom series well.

stage 2 - no air: tbh the orginal song for no air doesn’t do much but i LOVE this mix of it. it might be the slowdown of the chorus that really does it for me, but it’s one of my fave mixes for their stage. really solid choreo and i liked the paired dancing with the other dancers in the first chorus. i think tbz i one of the the better groups when it comes to non-power dancing....not sure how to word it, but they’re very graceful and i love when they show it off and the dancing in front of the white fabric was a really nice touch. they also pulled off their stunts really well!! that’s another things they’re pretty reliable in, but it’s something they don’t overuse which is nice. a very strong stage overall for them.

stage 3 - the red wedding: someone is going to murder me for this, but i’m not the biggest fan of o solo mio </3 tbz did a really good job with the song! music wise for me is just that the rap sections i think didn’t flow too well in their rendition of the song. i don’t remember how they fit in the original but it didn’t fit that well in this stage ;_; i thought the rest was really good! their use of props wasn’t overdone and added some interest to the choreo that was already really strong. also really enjoyed the sections in the birdcage with the female dancer. another really solid performance by them.

intro stage - the stealer: LOVED the choreo and formations for this performance. they’re a really strong dance group and i’m glad we got to see how good their dancing is with no props or anything. the song it’s self wasn’t too special, it was a solid mix but it seemed like something we’ve seen before? i think it reminded be of one of their stages from rtk, but i don’t remember which one ;_;

sf9:

stage 4 - move: CONGRATS TO SF9 FOR BEING THE ONLY GROUP THAT HAS TAEYANG. i could watch that man dance all day damn. the only thing i didn’t really like/understand was the very end where they were standing in the rain??? it would have been neat if they had one final dance break in the rain box or a solo dance or SOMETHING...it just didn’t need to be there otherwise </3 but everything else was SO GOOD. the concept of the stage was strong, the mixing was fit the group really well, and with move being such a difficult dance, the members did a really good job with it. the props/sets used i think added to it, and there was a good balance between those and the group actually dancing. glad to know taemin covers in the kingdom series did the original songs justice <3

final stage - believer: taeyang once again <3 overall the track sounds like a really solid b-side, but their performance really brought it up to a nice finale song. loved their references to their past stages with the props and formations with the dances, it wasn’t too much and didn’t distract from the rest of it. the use of reflections was also really well done!! that prop was super cool and loved how they played around with it. overall a really nice way to end kingdom for them, and i think dance and staging wise, it was one of my faves to come from them.

stage 3 - the scene: congrats sf9 for being the only group that has hwiyoung <3 tbh this stage would probably be my number one of they didn’t have the guns during the choreo </3 it just...brought it down so much for me (and the blurred out knife???). i think the mixing was pretty solid as it was close to tbz version, but made it fit sf9 really well. the fight scenes were super well done and i feel like did add something to the stage. then overall the dancing was really sharp this time around!! a super good stage....just take out the dancing guns.

stage 2 - jealous: this was one of the few stages outside the introductions that didn’t have a super heavy reliance on props, they didn’t rank well, and then we never saw a stage like it again </3 i loved this stage!! it didn’t change drastically music wise, but i really liked the kind of rock style? remix of now or never and it fit well with the concept of the stage. the formations!!! in this performance were some of my fave and loved the bits of choreo we saw when the members were dancing with the female dancers. there were some parts with the members weren’t quite in sync with each other, but overall it was really solid and sad we didn’t get to see a stage like this one again ;_;

intro stage - good guy: if sf9 just did suit concepts in the future i would not be mad <3 but overall a solid intro stage! there wasn’t much difference music wise except in the dance break in the beginning from the original song. choreo was pretty crisp and overall done well. there were no ‘wow’ factors in this stage, but a very solid one overall. 

ikon:

final stage - at ease: tbh i wasn’t too sure about the song in previews, but it’s grown a lot on me as this past week went on. it’s a great hype song and has the energy of ikon that i really love. the drop the in the chorus is really satisfying and it was just as satisfying visually in the performance as well. they used their dancers really well and the members also did really well with the chorus choreo. it was just overall a really satisfying stage for ikon and it was the only stage in my opinion they ramped up their more laid back energy and worked so well.

stage 2 - to the world: this is one of the stages that really does age pretty well. i wasn’t a huge fan of it mainly bc of the ending and it’s still not my fave but it didn’t take away as much from the stage as i remember. i LOVE both love scenario and killing me. the love scenerio portion of the stage i think it still one of my fave ikon moments. the acting was solid and i liked their story with it. in some ways i wish at least killing me was a little more hard hitting and less a copy and paste for the most part from their original. love scenario was an amazing opening but killing me needed something to make a solid ending song as it caused the energy of the stage to kinda fall off or not really raise at all. overall i do really like this stage, it just needs more of something for the ending.

intro - rhythm ta: i think this was my 2nd fave intro stage right being skz’s. i love the formation in the beginning and the vocal fry on the ‘ikon is back’ was a nice touch. it also just seemed like the most loose intro stage? like this wasn’t their first rodeo and just felt really comfortable on this stage. overall loved the energy of the stage, and there was solid mixing of the song and good choreo.

stage 3 - inception: this isn’t hate on bobby or anything but his rap parts really bought this performance down for me </3 it might have just been an off day or smth but...yeah. otherwise i really liked the stage!! the mixing was really intresting and they really made inception into their own ikon style. the sets used was also probably my fave overall? it was really really neat with the changing sets to match the song title. also the ending was super cool with the dancers in that final formation where they kinda slowed down. a really cool stage overall.

stage 4 - classy savage: family watching yg tv time <3 i think there was a really nice balance of both the original bp song and ikon’s style. tbh it seems opposite of what i said with the boyz..the insturmental seemed pretty close to blackpink’s, but the vocal/rap was very much the ikon style. the reason this one is so low for me is because it seemed like two separate stages with lisa? it was really neat that she was added, but it would have been so cool if he joined in with them for the final outro or something. she even had the same lyrics to the blackpink song as ikon’s changed so it just made it that much more separate. if lisa either joined in more with ikon or she wasn’t added at all i think this would have ranked a lot higher on my list </3

btob: another quick note....i think on the performance end btob is the opposite of tbz. they don’t do much with choreo but they’re such an enjoyable group to watch and their VOCALS are always so stable so i probably won’t have many notes on their dancing lmao

stage 4 - blue moon: concept and comedy kings <3 idk they were really feeling themselves but it looked like they were having so much fun on stage and it made me have a smile on my face the entire time. the concept of the movie worked so well with the style of the jazzy tune. i’m not too familiar with the original bside so i’m not sure how much it differs or if it does at all. there’s really nothing i would change from this stage...it’s just so enjoyable to watch from the concept, vocals, and peniel playing that piano terribly <3

stage 3 - back door: really close to their blue moon stage for me. i really feel like they got the hang of the kingdom stages at this point. i loved their remix of back door. they took a rap heavy song and turned it in to a vocal heavy one so well?? truly made it their own. the weird drop(?) after they say back door just works so well for me and the inclusion of the electric guitar is so NEAT. there wasn’t much as far as dancing except for the small bit at the end and in one of the ��dressing rooms’ but it really worked for the concept of the stage. idk it’s just a really fun stage to watch and a really good hype energy at the end.

final stage - show and prove: TALK ABOUT A FINALE STAGE. i love this song on it’s own and it’s probably my top song or in the top 2 for the original kingdom songs. this stage is another one that’s so close with their blue moon and back door stage, but i think it ranks a little lower then the other two as there was choreo from the members (or at least not a lot at all). but even with that this stage didn’t feel any less grand then the other finale performances because they killed the vocal parts so much and the song itself is such a GOOD ending song. oh man i would rate this higher if dancing or concept also was involved ;_;

intro stage - beautiful and painful: (i think that’s what it’s called?): vocal kings <3 they really said we’re the best vocalists on this show with this intro and you know? they’re correct. i wasn’t too sure on this stage when i first watched it since it was so different compared to the other groups, but watching it again now it’s a really strong intro stage. btob is a really strong vocal group and they established that really early on and only gave us a taste of what they were really able to do. a great intro stage overall. 

stage 2 - missing you: overall the stage is really beautiful with the lighting and the trees, but similar to ikon’s stage with lisa it seemed really disjointed. the vocal sections were really strong on their own and the dance break section this was really cool on it’s own, but it didn’t mesh together super well :/ a decent stage for sure, i just wish they kept the style of the dance break or just kept it the style of the vocal stage. i think they might have just added that dance section in there as the other groups had such dance heavy performances and theirs didn’t, but again it just kinda took something away from it </3

unit stages: i’m not going to write notes on the unit stages cause i’ve already written so much on the group stages lmao but if you want to more about/wonder why one ranked lower then another than pls ask! i’m just too done with this post to write it now. i will say 2-4 are really close in ranking. love poem took the whole thing for me and i wasn’t a huge fan of wither rap unit stage </3

Fate loved to smile upon you at the worst of times.

The quiet ticking of the clock and the soft, steady breaths of your sleeping husband (husband. Oh god, he’s your husband now) greeted the morning as the sunrise painted shafts of light across your bedroom. The world almost stood still. A glance at the clock told you the one thing you didn’t want to hear, and you quietly groaned, turning over and burying your face into your pillow.

You had an hour before the both of you had to leave for patrol.

The one time you woke up before your alarm, ready for a slow morning, and it just had to be on the day you had morning patrol.

“Mmn, love…?” Todoroki’s sleep-rasped voice broke you out of your lamenting, and you turned to see him rubbing the sleep out of his eyes.

“Good morning, Shou.”

“G’mornin…” An arm wrapped around your waist and he pulled you closer, rolling you onto your back before dropping his head into your chest to block out the sunlight filtering in through the white curtains. You laughed quietly and started threading your fingers through his silky hair, smoothing the bedhead and stray strands to busy yourself as he struggled to wake up.

“We should get up soon, it’ll be our first day back on duty and we wouldn’t want to be late.”

“We should…” Despite his agreement, his voice drifted off into a sleepy mumble at the end, “After a few more minutes…”

“Shou, come on, we have patrol in an hour,” Your soft voice didn’t hold any of the urgency it should’ve, too comforted by the slow morning that you wanted so desperately to hold close. 

Alas, fate had other plans.

He lifted his head to look at you, and you took the chance to take his face into your hands. His stare remained unwavering, even as you brushed the hair out of his face, as you softly traced the edge of his scar with the pad of your thumb, traced another tiny scar that slit through the end of a thin white brow.

“…I love you,” His confession — whispered into the comforting silence — was definitely not the first, but it made your heart warm with affection all the same. You smiled and pressed a kiss to his forehead, huffing out a soft laugh.

“I love you too, Shou,” The slow, sleepy smile that spread across his lips almost made you give in, and you pressed a kiss to his smiling lips that he reciprocated in turn, “But, we have to get up soon.”

His defeated groan was answer enough, as was his forehead dropping back into your chest, arms snaking around you to try and keep you in bed. Unfortunately for him, you’d already wiggled out of his hold to get out of bed, his solid grip only dragging him halfway across the mattress until you left him with his arms hanging limply off the side of the bed.

“We can’t just stay in bed for just a little longer?”

“‘Just a little longer’ will turn into half an hour, Shou,” You giggled, sliding on your slippers and padding your way out of the bedroom, “I’ll go get the coffee started.”

“Easy on the—”

“—on the condensed milk. Yes, yes, I know.”

“Ne cherchez plus mon cœur; les bêtes l'ont mangé.”                      — Charles Baudelaire

BASIC INFORMATION

FULL NAME: Clément Lenz, middle names are for chumps. PRONUNCIATION: Clay-muhn or Clehm-ent luhnz NICKNAME(S): Clem, Clé, just straight up call him keys it’d be hilarious BIRTH DATE: 22 May AGE: Twenty-two ZODIAC: Gemini GENDER: (trans) male PRONOUNS: he/him SEXUAL ORIENTATION: who the fuck knows; likely he’s bisexual, but again… who knows. Sexuality is confusing enough without being trans too honestly. Make a betting pool on where he’ll fall lmao NATIONALITY: Luxembourgish TITLE(S): x MAJOR: Religious Studies EXTRACURRICULARS: Journalism club; peer tutoring.

BACKGROUND

HOMETOWN: Esch-sur-Alzette, Luxembourg FATHER: unknown. MOTHER: Claire Lenz; 40 SIBLING(S): None! Could you imagine this petty bich with a younger sibling? Oh my god. OTHER IMPORTANT RELATIVES: Grandparents; Papa Lenz and Gran Lenz ARRESTS?: Gotta get caught to be arrested, and we all know he’s more the type to goad someone else into doing the illegal thing that him doing anything of the sort himself.

OCCUPATION & INCOME

SPENDING HABITS: Very much a “if I want it… why wouldn’t I buy it?” type of person. He’s likely to buy something, use it a few times, and just lose it or trash it or give it away. MOST VALUABLE POSSESSION: His watch; it’s a little big on his wrist, and has had its battery replaced a few times. It’s not even that fancy, but it’s the first thing he bought to make himself feel more masculine. It’s silver with a blue face, and is tightened to its tightest setting in order to fit on his wrist (and even then it moves around a bit when he gestures).

SKILLS & ABILITIES

TALENTS: He’s got a way with words and likes to write, though I wouldn’t say he’s got anything earth-shattering on his google docs account full of little journal snippets. Just the usual 20-something bs. He’s good at faking interest? Good at assessing a situation (though definitely not even close to being perfect at that at all)? SHORTCOMINGS: Clement is a manipulative little garbage man who treats human relationships like a fukin chess game and then wonders why people don’t like him for him. Like, newsflash kid, you have to be honest about your intentions and show your real personality to make genuine connections! Try actual friendliness instead of the underhanded bullshit you usually pull and see where that takes you, y’know? LANGUAGE(S) SPOKEN: Luxembourgish (fluent), German (conversational, can’t read or write), French (fluent), and English (CLOSE ENOUGH TO FLUENT)! He’s got a preference for French though, and will make comments on how English is a stupid language. DRIVE?: He’ll tell you he can but don’t believe him. This little shit is in the camp of ‘the lines and signs on the road are more suggestions than rules’ and it’s terrifying please don’t let him drive anywhere. RIDE A BICYCLE?: He likes to bike in nice weather, and is very much a leisurely biker than hardcore anything. Likes a smooth gentle ride rather than anything bumpy or fast. SWIM?: He’s not the best at it but he’ll not drown. It’s an activity that’s a wee bit hard to participate in before he’s gotten top surgery, because wearing a swim binder isn’t exactly the most comfortable or conductive to movement as, say, no shirt would be. PLAY AN INSTRUMENT?: He’ll tell you that he plays violin but he honestly can’t play shit except for a really slow and deliberate scale that still screeches. PLAY CHESS?: Absolutely! He loves the thinking involved in it. Fun fact: he’s absolutely useless at checkers though — always tries to play the game just like chess and that just makes him lose so horribly he refuses to play anyone. Has a favourite move in chess and it’s castling. TIE A TIE?: YES it’s one of his favourite accessories and it’s an article of clothing he’s very familiar with, because he wore them prior to coming out as well. He loves a good silk tie, and prefers solid matte colours to anything with an obvious texture; prefers small patterns to large ones. Hates paisley; hates shine.

PHYSICAL APPEARANCE & CHARACTERISTICS

FACE CLAIM: Rhys Pickering GLASSES/CONTACTS?: nah this bastard can see 20/20 DOMINANT HAND: ambidextrous HEIGHT: 5’8.5” TATTOOS: nah PEIRCINGS: nahhh MARKS/SCARS: A thin white scar on his bottom lip that only shows when he’s smiling; a few scattered dark freckles over his arms and torso, though none have graced his face. NOTABLE FEATURES: His dark eyes are what stick out on his face, and he’s got crooked fingers if you look hard enough. Another notable feature would be the dips in his shoulders from (stupidly) wearing too-tight sports bras before he figured out binders were a THING. CLOTHING STYLE: Simple, clean lines made up of dark neutrals (black, charcoal, and navy are his go-tos) with the occasional cool jewel tone (emerald, sapphire) to accent them. It’s rare he wears warm colours, but a maroon isn’t necessarily out of the question as a hard stop. Every so often Clement will wear a slice of ruby or topaz, but it is usually relegated to his hems; in the stitching — where one would be surprised by the flash of it, perhaps thinking they’d seen it merely in a dream — but sometimes he’ll press the colour into a pocket square, or necktie. Just for the fun of it.

PSYCHOLOGY

MBTI TYPE: INTP MORAL ALIGNMENT: Lawful Evil “legally selfish” TEMPERAMENT: Choleric MENTAL HEALTH: Good! Besides being manipulative and insecure, he’s got pretty good mental health. ADDICTION(S): Smoake DRUG USE: Curious, but doesn’t indulge because of not knowing how he’d react to anything. ALCOHOL USE: Social, and is a bit shit at holding his liquor but has yet to end a night with hugging the toilet. PRONE TO VIOLENCE?: Nahhh, not physical violence at least. He’s much more one to use his words to get at people than anything else.

FAVOURITES

ANIMAL: He’s really fascinated with snakes (go figure) and also finds dogfish really adorable. BOOK: René by François-René de Chateaubriand COLOUR: Navy and sapphire blue. FOOD: There isn’t much Clement wouldn’t eat — he’s certainly not picky — but his favourite foods range from a simple mix of fresh fruit and berries in yoghurt with honey, to heavy tartiflette. It all depends on his mood. More often than not, however, he leans toward lighter meals, and prefers them to be on the sweeter side of things. Honey cake would be the dessert for him. MOVIE: Arès (2016) dir. Jean-Patrick Benes MUSICAL ARTIST: Stromae QUOTE/SAYING: “La littérature est l'essentiel, ou n'est rien.” — Georges Bataille SCENT: Cinnamon, clove, citrus, allspice… really all the spices to make mulled wine. SPORT: He likes hockey but literally only watches at the Olympics and doesn’t have a clue what the rules are (doesn’t stop him from pretending to know what the penalty calls are for, however). VACATION DESTINATION: Marseilles, France.

ATTITUDES

GREATEST DREAM: Travel the world with a comfortable network of people he can bounce around with. This would be possible if he wasn’t such an underhanded shitlord, truly. Maybe there’s hope for it yet. GREATEST FEAR: Irrelevancy.   BIGGEST SECRET: Likely that he’s, deep down, just this scared little man who wants desperately to be liked by the people around him. TOP PRIORITIES: Come out on top. Get friends. Get this bread.

Shadow Bladers

[Continued from {here}]

I WANTED TO SEE THEM ALL UNMASKED....................BeyBurst I will never forgive you if you never give me this, they're too good to just forget about, dammit

...God, I wonder if they're all even still alive?? The ones that got dropped in the Failure Holes were literally just. Never seen again. Well, I mean, we saw their masks crumpled up and strewn all over the ground outside later BUT THAT'S NOT EXACTLY A GOOD SIGN, NOW IS IT

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH

Also, at least most of the shadows do TRY to mimic some aspect of their opponent's personality, not just their beyblades and fighting styles, but they're usually bad at it lmao. A for effort, boys. Also their stupid black catsuits are High Fashion and I approve.

Yellow Eye

Well, this is...unfortunately, the one we've seen the most of, out of the shadows. He's actually got a name, unlike all the others: "Richard Yellow", supposedly. Very convenient last name there, but I'm gonna call him Dick.

He, uh. Gives me MAJOR skeevy pervert vibes?

...???

That aside though, his sheer fucking terror post-Pit, when Boss actually {SPOILER ALERT} DID come back and kick his ass [YEEEEEAAAAAHHH] and he looked up at Ashram like "Oh...oh no. I am very, very royally fucked" was good for really hammering in the fact that Bad Shit happens to Snake Pit people who lose. Though, I think we actually briefly saw Dick again sometime later and he didn't look any different, so whatever was done to him after that, if anything, certainly wasn't deadly which GIVES ME HOPE FOR THE OTHER GUYS......

Also the sad thing here is the fact that, without the mask, this weird little bastard might actually be cute if he didn't do That with his damn lipstick. At least, I HOPE that's lipstick and he just sucks at wearing makeup?? And the "Welp...shit." moment when Boss lost to him in the Snake Pit but DIDN'T fall down the hole like he was supposed to was fucking hilarious tbh. "Is this allowed?? Can he do that??? Should. Should I do something about this? Mr. Ashram sir???? Is this allowed???? hhhhHHHHHE'S BREAKING THE RULES HGKSLSJFLK?????"

4/10, I'm forever bitter about the fact that ONLY this shadow got unmasked onscreen ;-; IT'S NOT FAIR

Black Eye

This bitch. This pompous, taunting bitch. He's absolutely terrible and he's perfect and I need to see him again.

He was actually REALLY successful at behaving just like Dyna...except he was acting with an outdated character script because Dyna's not an asshole like that anymore. Black was playing the part of "early s1 Dyna" exceptionally well, though. He was playing mind games exactly like Dyna did back then. The resemblance was uncanny, he even managed to actually unnerve Dyna himself. Flawless execution. Kudos, buddy.

The fucking crystal ball thing is just unbearable though, holy shit he hams it up way too much. I would say that, hell, he MIGHT actually be able to ~see into the future~, considering Clio's Exceptionally Compelling Evidence that spoopy psychic majick possibly does exist to some degree in BeyBurst, buuuut...I know how IRL FAKE psychics work, and they, uh, act exactly like Black. Basically [at risk of oversimplifying], if they can get into your head and make you BELIEVE something's going to happen, then they can make it happen. Which is exactly what Black did to score that Over Finish against Dyna. And Dyna noticed it -- he noticed that he lost that point because Black's words were getting under his skin, and so his hands weren't steady when he launched. And when Dyna stopped believing Black after figuring that out, Black lost. Black's scenes were actually quite nicely written.

10/10. This guy's awful, but he's good, man. What's this overenthusiastic theater kid doing down in a damn torture pit, anyway. He should be out swindling people with palm readings or some shit.

Grey Eye

“IT'S ALL MUSCLE, BRO”

I just can't really form a solid opinion on this one aside from the fact that he seemed like a fun guy? Cooza kicked his ass pretty fast and then he was gone. Hm. 5/10.

Azul/Azure Eye

Perfect. Perfect and amazing. Very very fluffy and very very nice, how the hell did this sweet boy end up in the torture pit?? He LIKED Valt and Valt's friends -- I think his friendliness was sincere, if not a bit exaggerated and maybe slightly condescending? He certainly wasn't actually mean to them so much as he was really just...playful. More than that, he HELPED Valt. He fucking told Valt how to use his damn beyblade properly [though he wasn't expecting Valt to be able to use a newfound technique so well immediately, but still].

And. And he calls himself "boku-chan" if I'm not mistaken?? Which is a super cutesy way to say "I/me"? He’s like, referring to himself as "cute little me" asdhgklksjg

I'm nnnnnot sure which way is the intended "correct" way to spell his name, though? "Azul" and "Azure" BOTH mean "blue", and they are pronounced exactly the same way with a Japanese accent [there's basically no audible difference between "L"s and "R"s]. Is there any actual official info that explicitly states the correct spelling?? I haven't found any. Most people seem to have gone with "Azure" [including the team subbing the raw episodes], but I was always more inclined to say "Azul" because that's a Spanish word and the Snake Pit is in Mexico?

Also he makes dumb puns. I love him. This one's my favourite shadow guy, no contest. 100/10.

Violet Eye

Poor Violet, oh my god. We didn't even get to see very much of him because Shuu was an asshole lmao.

Seriously, Shuu barged into his room, interrupted his fight, and then kicked him off the platform. Into the Bottomless Doom Pit.

That scene with Violet makes me think that literally all of the masked guys probably fucking hate Shuu just as much as Violet and Norman do, hahaha holy shit. He'd throw any of them under the bus [or rather, down the big hole] for so little as just getting in his way when he wants something. Jesus christ.

6/10, Violet was a jackass but he was funny. He played a pretty decent "early s1 Wakiya", too [generically cocky and insulting, etc.] Not NEARLY enough screentime though, thanks Shuu

To cap off the post, the entire concept of these guys is...neat IN THEORY, but actually pretty dumb and of course it didn't fucking work. It was, quite frankly, amazing that Dick managed to beat Boss. Their gimmick was to mimic Valt's friend group, but. You just. You can't fucking beat someone with their own tricks. Particularly when they've been practicing those tricks longer than you have. If they know the shit better than you do, you can't beat them with it. An actor who plays a kickboxer in a movie would likely get the shit beaten out of them by an actual kickboxer. The fakes just...really couldn't win here. •︵•

[deitiesofduat]

I was wondering if u can do a bunch of random facts/headcannons for the main cast?

Oh man, I mean, I’m happy to try, but I’m not sure where to start for the entire cast of 10… well, now 11 gods. I know have some that are scattered around the blog’s tags, and also in places other than tumblr, but It’ll take me a bit to find them or think of new ones without revealing spoilers, hmm…

So here’s what I’ll try that’s similar to the 1 Like 1 Fact meme I did on twitter a while ago: for every note this post receives, I’ll add a DEITIES-related headcanon or fact about the main cast. The main cast includes Set, Horus, Anubis, Osiris, Isis, Nephthys, Bastet, Sekhmet, Thoth, Ra, and nowwwww Sobek – and maybe the Set Spawn and the big bad serpent too, if relevant. You can add a note by +liking this post, and if you’re interested in learning about a particular deity, you can mention their name in a comment (and it’s not necessary to reblog this, unless you want to!).

This should help give me a bit more focus and time to think of some decent non-spoiler headcanons/facts to share. I’ll come back to this post in a few hours and add any many as I can, depending on the amount of notes it receives, and I’ll bump and place them under the cut for easy access. So yeah, go for it /o/!!

[1] Been playing with a headcanon where Horus’s Eye can see an object’s or person’s weak spots – though only for like, a moment once it’s activated, cuz I’ve wanted to avoid him being OP (but then again… he’s a literal god… so >>)

Also a related-headcanon where he can see a person’s past injuries thru his Eye too, including the hidden ones that have long-ago healed and left no visible scar. I’d like to draw the ones he “sees” on others one day if I keep it…

[2] Set is the only one of his siblings that doesn’t have an avian sacred animal, and for a while I wanted to keep it that way and literally keep him “grounded” compared to his family (sans Anubis). But I found that he’s sometimes also associated with crows (and falcons??? interestingly enough), and even though I haven’t found solid evidence of this yet, I also like the idea of him being associated with bats even before I read about it in Kane Chronicles I swear– So those 2-3 animals are probably some alternate animal form that he has but just rarely takes.

[3] Actually while I’m at it– aside from the Sha Animal, here’s a list of 30-ish animals that I keep as Set’s canon forms in DEITIES verse (based on a combination of historical speculation, recorded myths, and personal headcanons), and would love to eventually draw him as one day:

Aardvark, African Wild Ass (and Donkey), Giant Anteater, Baboon, Bat, Boar/Pig, Bull, Camel, Crocodile, Crow/Raven, Dog (some sort of sighthound?), Fennec Fox, Fish (Eel?), Gazelle/Antelope, Giraffe, Goat, Goose, Hare/Rabbit, Hippopotamus, [Spotted] Hyena, Jackal, Jerboa, Okapi, Oryx, Panther, Rat, Scorpion, Shark, Snake (Viper), and Zebra/Quagga.

[4] RELATEDLY… I REALLY REALLY like the idea of Set somehow acquiring a Thylacine form even tho it’s in no realistic way in the current timeline because thylacines weren’t native to Africa let alone Egypt. BUT… I JUST… THEY REMIND ME OF SHA ANIMALS SO MUCH o)——–

[5] When I was considering the color schemes for the main cast, I once briefly envisioned a purple/violet scheme for Nephthys, but decided to scrap it because (1) I wanted her colors to contrast with her sister’s and match a bit more with her husband’s and son’s and (2) I found that purple was nigh impossible to find in AE wall art and admittedly worried “maybe it won’t look authentic if I use those colors;;;”

Even though I’m happy with her orange/black/red scheme now, I’ve recently found that purple is a common association / kemetic UPG (or doxa?) with her?? SO THAT WAS INTERESTING… I don’t think I’ll change her color scheme for DEITIES, but maybe I’ll draw her in an alternate purple outfit one day to see how it looks on her >>

[6] One of the reasons why I like Horus, Anubis, and Bastet as their own casual friend group in DEITIES verse is that, because they’re all relatively young gods, they all share the experience/pressure of being measured up against their older royal relatives – Horus being seen as both his father and mother’s legacy and feeling the pressure to restore his family’s throne; Anubis being know for his infamous father, and even having his paternity questioned (via rumors and “myths”); and Bastet being the youngest of Ra’s daughter, sometimes being compared to her sister’s roles and achievements.

They’re all really good at masking any pressure they feel, but they also probably confide in each other about it more than with others, cuz they’ve all “been there.”

[7] Relatedly, one of the earliest version of DEITIES Project, before it was known as “Deities Project,” had Horus, Anubis, and Bastet as the main trio. That’s been changed “for reasons” since then, and their characters were quite different back then, but it might be fun to explore a story that focused on the 3 of them someday.

[8] Okay ya’ll know the part during The Contendings where Horus and Set are racing in stone boats and Horus “wins” by painting his wooden boat to look like stone? I have ideas for how that entire race happens in DEITIES verse that would be fun to explore as a side story, but in order for me to give Horus a “legit” way to win without outright cheating, he covers his boat with stone casing/accents, and after he wins and is confronted about it… well…

HORUS: “The rules we agreed on were to sail a boat made with stone. They said nothing about it needing to be made entirely out of stone.”SET: “…”HORUS: “ :)c ”SET: “…” *Internally raging*

[9] I’ve headcanon’d that Nephthys has her own set of ~7 Shabti who act as her personal assistants while she’s conducting her nightly duties, or working around her home, but I haven’t decided much more past that (still debating on how she acquired them, and if she more-than-likely named them…).

The concept and number were loosely based on how many of the other goddesses had their own sets of 7 as extensions of their power and/or control (7 Ribbons of Hathor, 7 Arrows of Sekhmet, Isis’s 7 Scorpions), and I thought it’d be neat if the Goddess of Service had her own Shabti that exemplified that part of her domain.

[10] Thoth is an avid lover of puzzles, trivia, and strategy games, and he’s also exceptionally skilled at games of chance. He doesn’t gamble or make bets often because he understands the risks, but when he does he tries to be calculative about it… and also has a natural knack for luck going his way (EX: That one game of senet that he won to help assist Nut with having her children… which is another story for another day)

[11] Ummmmm Isis is the only one of the main cast who I haven’t drawn a ref of her sacred animal form yet… or at least, not digitally. Her animal is the kite, but I’ve been debating on a while for what species to base her design on. I like the idea of her kite form looking like the Black-winged Kite, although those species aren’t native to Egypt… but some are native to Africa… and they’re so fricken pretty and they fit her colors so well so I might cave on this ffffffffffff–

[12] While we’re on the subject of sacred animals (and to help me get somewhat closer to the note count lmao I’m trying guys–), Horus’s falcon form is based on both the Peregrine falcon and the Lanner falcon, with more simplified markings for my own sanity when I draw him in dozens of panels.

At one point, I considered making his falcon form leucistic to contrast more with Anubis and Set, buuuuuut I also liked the brown colors on the falcons’ normal coloration, so I kept it. (That and more leucistic birds of prey are hawks, so… maybe for Khonsu tho if I don’t change him to an owl, hmmmm…)

[13] Okay continuing thoughts on animal forms, Bastet is able to shift her cat form into nearly any coloration or breed she desires (aside from her eyes, which remain green), but for the purposes of DEITIES I draw her as a brown cat with light gradation markings. I knew of the Egyptian Mau but also realized the spots would take a lot of effort to redraw in the panels where she appears as a cat (much like the spots on falcons for Horus). I also personally really like solid-colored coats on cats, and in particular I liked the coloration of the Havana Brown, so it may be a little less authentic but it did factor into her colors as well.

[14] I'm still debating on Sekhmet's main hairstyle and want to play with it a bit more -- not the arrangement per se but whether to keep it as locks or to make them more obvious twists -- or perhaps a combination -- since I can see her with both style at certain points in time. Either way, at full length Sekhmet's hair is very long: if she were to loosen her tie and let it fall, her longest locks would reach past her hips.

[15] I initially gave Set yellow eyes because even though he's often depicted with red eyes, I didn't want to over saturate his design with just... well, red -- especially in his animal form where his entire body is covered in red fur (red eyes + red sclera would have been, a lot). I like how his yellow eyes provide some contrast, and I've since found some story-related reasons where his eyes might play some role in the plot… but anything further might be spoilery 8')c

[16] It took me a while to settle on Osiris's "resurrected" skin tone because there were a lot of sources that describe his skin as being green, or blue, or black in coloration. I even tried them out in an earlier color test that I shared on patreon, but I eventually went with black since the color has had various meanings in Ancient Egypt that include both life and death. (It also gave me some opportunity to give green skin to Ptah and blue skin to Hapi to help vary the designs for each of those gods).

[17] Relatedly, Osiris's mortal form is a naturally dark skin tone, but following this death he can no longer appear in that form. He is also unable to travel to the overworld / realm of the living, though I'm still debating on how restrictive this is (if it's limited to his physical body or if he can split his soul under special circumstances, or with assistance). Regardless, most of his correspondence with other deities have to be arranged within Duat for this reason.

[18] I haven't made any plans to designate a spouse or romantic partner for Ra. I understand that there were a number of goddesses that were associated with him in the myths and often said to be his wife, but for that reason it was hard to settle on choosing one -- or multiple, and I realized that for the purpose of the main story it might not be necessary. I also kinda like exploring the idea of this high king and powerful creator deity who's also a happily single father, and where it's not for tragic reasons like the separation from or death of his spouse (not to knock that trope at all tho sdjfdsf). I'm not opposed to him being shipped with anyone though, I just don't think I've been inclined to do it myself lmAO;;

[19] RELATEDLY, while Ra's daughters (Sekhmet, Mafdet, Hathor, Serqet, Bastet) don't have a biological mother, I like to think that they were raised in an environment with a lot of parental figures and mentors to go around, aside from just their father. I haven't quite settled on how it was organized though, but I know that the daughters regard Thoth as something of an uncle/secondary dad (tho their dynamic with Thoth is can vary a lot from the one the have with Ra), as well as their teacher and mentor. I can also see where other gods like Khnum, Khepri, and Bes, and goddesses like Neith, Seshat, Taweret, Ma'at, and Mut, might also have played some direct mentor role in the daughters' upbringing and sense of self.

[20] (squick + implied nsfw) I uh… have this minor gag headcanon where Horus, Isis, and Osiris just don't eat fish. They just… don't. And it's entirely based on that one part of the myths after Osiris's death, where a certain part of Osiris's desecrated body ended up in the river and was swallowed by a fish 8')c (should be noted that I'm not saying that event did happened in DEITIES canon, but I'm also not disputing it either >>).

Apparently that was considered a bad omen, and I still find conflicting information on whether consumption of fish was taboo for some or all in Ancient Egypt (I think "for some" makes better sense, cuz why would an entire society that resides near the Nile river pass up on a perfectly available food source?? But I digress, I might need to review this again so take my thoughts with a grain of salt--). I also admit that I've seen it mentioned that fish are not ideal food offerings for Isis and Osiris?? and I can imagine that maybe Horus adopts the distaste for them as well. Either way, I go with the DEITIES canon that while most people and deities happily consume fish, Horus and his parents will not, and they don't enjoy it as offerings either.

I’MMMMMM gonna end it here for now cuz my headcanons have run dry for the time being, thank you guys!!

Ep. 10 - “Winning immunity has been the biggest pussy popper of the season” - Kevin (Pt. 1)

WHAT THE FUCK MITCH YOU TOLD ME BILLY WAS FLIPPING ON ME AND HE WASNT??????????/ BILLY IM SO FUCKING SORRY GOD I OWE YOU MY LIFE AND GOD IF I COULD REPLACE ME WITH YOU I WOULD FUCK FUCK FUCK 

guess who just back-stabbed Billy aka the alliance I was supposed to stick with and GOD Billy didn't deserve that either what a disaster and I feel awful about it RIP my All-Stars game ok i'm gonna drown these awful feelings by getting screamed at for being a shitty tank in Overwatch 

Billy is gone. I'm on a tribe with a solid 3 person alliance against me. If we don't swap I can kiss all-stars goodbye. Charlotte told me to vote Van. Mitch said it was completely up to me. They can go. The furry duo is over. Bring my loves PunPun, Sara, Ash, and Jordan back to me.

I hate myself more right now than i ever have before and thats saying a lot since I hate myself a lot all the time. I'm so fucking sorry Billy, I cant emphasize it enough. I'm so fucking sorry that I got you out of this game because I was scared that you would actually flip on me. I  know you'll eventually get over this, because after all it's a game. But honestly I feel like a sack of shit right now especially since you helped me so much in IHOS and youre one of the best people I know of in this community even though you think everyone hates you and god fuck im so sorry. I would honestly quit this game if I didnt think youd hate me more from it. This is like one of the worst decisions I've ever made in my entire game life. Like fuck you Mitch for tricking me into thinking I could trust you . Fuck this entire fucking game. I'm not an allstar, I'm an asshole. god im so fucking sorry so fuck fuck fuck fucking sorry F U C K!

So Dan literally put on his "I'd like to speak to the manager" haircut to fight Monty and that's how I made final 18 tbh. Because if that tribe had not been disqualified, I probs woulda gone home. Also bless that fuck up in us losing at first because so much funny shit unraveled because of it. Dan immediately started to scramble and separately told Sam G and I he liked us and then made a chat with the 3 of us. Which, the instance majority on the tribe was nice but a) I still didn't trust people and b) he really did it for himself. And THEN he ended up giving us and idol clue and found the idol. And Sam apparently also found the page and told him that she found it but she didn't find the idol so Dan was like "lmao forgot to tell you guys I found the idol" which, forgot? Bitch WHERE? You had no intent in telling us anytime soon. But now we swapped and I'm split from Sam G but still with Dan. Fun to see how that'll go. I met back up with Mitch though! We had a really good touch base talk and it seems like I can hopefully really trust him. He said he's with me and I'd like to believe it. He also said he was the one to get Van and Charlotte to flip on Billy because Jay wouldn't which, I have mixed feelings about. I just said I trusted Billy the most. And Billy goes. So fuck. I guess it's good I don't have an obligation to work with both Billy and Steffen. And if Steffen and I meet up again, we'll see where things go. Rn, I guess I'll stick with Mitch and Punpun. There's also Dan who idk wtf to do with. And David who I could try to connect with. And then Sam B who kinda worries me? She might be close to Dan so I need to keep an eye on that. Just gonna try and stay diligent and at least have SOME grasp of what the hell is going on.

Honestly??? Stop putting Gage and Ash on tribes together 2k16, what the fuck is this. I know I wanted to get them out like, 2 rounds ago, and I still do, but I also have like, Jordan Pines, who still has me fucked up over the Brandon vote, so like, fuck. I never thought I'd say this in my life time but the person I trust the most here is Karen. Like, that is so sad. Karen. Well hopefully since we have Jordan we don't flop at challenges because with this ugly tribe configuration it might be going home and well we don't want that do we.

LITERALLY IF PUN'S FLOP ASS DOES NOT GET OUT OF THIS GAME FOR SCORING A FUCKIN 1900 ON THIS GAME, I WILL QUIT. LIKE I WILL ACTUALLY QUIT IF I DON'T GO HOME. I DON'T WANT TO USE MY IDOL BUT I HAVE A FEELING SOME SHIT IS GONNA BE PULLED. ALSO FUCK JORDAN PINES YOU INHUMAN ROBOT THING. YOU'RE TELLING ME YOU SAT THERE AND SLAMMED YOUR SPACE BAR 360 TIMES IN LIKE 200 MILLISECONDS? BYEEEE. PHOTOSHOP? I'M SO BITTER OMFG. 

Conf #17: Whew okay I lied youre getting this a day late but! who cares. So We voted out Chrissa yay I was nervous they were fooling me but i was wrong. THEN ANOTHER GOD DAMN SWAP, EVERY GODDAMN DAY! I think if we lose im going to push hard to get Mitch out because someones gotta break up the 3 some and im going to try my hardest even if it gets me out!

So far winning immunity has been the biggest pussy popper of the season, next to voting out the gremlin. I was fully ready to pack my bags Eliza style and get my ass handed to me on a silver platter. Who do I trust in this season? If you answered anyone on current tribe, well, you sure thought, because you're wrong. I trust Karen and Jay to an extent, but like I hardly have been with Jay in the game and nobody can really trust Karen under any circumstances. Ever. After all you can't spell Karen without backstabbing snake with several demons manifesting inside her as we speak. Anyway I'm hoping we can continue the ugly awful trend of swapping every round just one more time because for once in the game I actually want to swap so please just grant this poor child's wish

Okay so Punpun lost us this comp. You can't even say it wasn't their fault. They had the lowest score out of the entire season and we only lost by 660 points. That is sooo close. But anyways, I want them out, but apparently she has mitch and andrew who will never flip on them. Which really sucks. Having a group of people working together and always losing comps would really hurt our games. So tonight, me and dan and david are voting out punpun while the other 3 are voting out david. Normally it would tie, but my babe Dan has an idol that he is going to play on david <3 I'm kind of upset because Dan said he told Andrew last round that he got the idol, which, Idk why you would tell someone about your idol if you are so willing to flip on them one round later. I hope they aren't just telling us David so that they can flip and vote me out. I would be sooo upset. I miss Karen, I hate that we literally haven't talked since like the very beginning of this game so idk where her head is at when it comes to working with me. I hope I survive this round, and I feel like if I can just get to merge, I'll be good. That might be a while away though, so I just have to keep playing as socially as possible and see where that takes me. 

Update!!! So dan is giving david his idol (NOT playing it on him) and dan wants me and him to vote out david, knowing he's safe, just so that it looks like we stayed true to Andrew and Mitch instead of flipping. Pun would still go. I'm still nervous about what we said before, with them possibly switching their vote to me or dan. If we use the idol on david and then us 3 vote for mitch, it could tie if they didnt vote out david and then we would have a better chance. Maybe I'm just being paranoid though.
