Dare to Live (Part 1/2)

DPxDC

The first they see of the mysterious figure is barely a flicker above the battle. Only a few of them really spot it and the rest only see it due to footage from the bat plane.

Any other footage after it is the equivalent of child’s colorful finger-painting regarding the figure.

Superman doesn’t even pause to evaluate the flicker in his peripheral before he goes back to trying to push the newest alien ship away from Metropolis.

Why was it always Metropolis?

Why not St. Louis? Or, or Fountain, Mississippi? Or literally anywhere in Canada! He has nothing against Canada, he would just like to go farther than his city borders to stop an alien invasion, just once. For some variety, you know?

Just as Batman’s plan starts working, and they’ve finally got the mothership on the edge of Metropolis, Clark’s grip goes light.

For a moment, he panics, worried they have kryptonite or some shield or repelling ray, but when he’s still able to fly backwards he realizes that’s not possible.

Instead, he stares in awe at the figure stationed above them, above the heroes, the ship, all of it.

The man is large, at least as big as Clark, with one hand stretched out to the ship, and there’s just enough time for Clark to see a large skulled ring on the man’s hand before he swipes downwards and Clark watches as the entire mothership crashes downwards with it. Hull crushing inwards as if gravity itself has increased upon it.

Clark looks back up at the man, taking note of the large glowing green crown above his head, and the starry black cape that sways gently behind him despite the winds that sheer against Clark’s face. His hair flows gently as well, giving off the same glow as the crown, even though it shouldn’t be visible in the midday sun.

In fact, the man’s entire figure seems to glow, only getting brighter as he holds his arms out and streams of sickly green light seem to stream towards him from around the city, around the battle site, all absorbing into the man with a green flash.

Clark only spares a glance to Batman to get an affirming nod to check it out before he’s flying up to him, hesitance growing as he watches the figure survey the damage with eyes of pupiless green.

The figure smirkes as he approached, meeting him in the middle but saying nothing, only serving to increase the tension in the air around them.

When they were even, Clark chose to take the first step of diplomacy, “I am Superman, Protecter of Earth. Thank you for helping us, But..Who are you?”

The figure stared at him for a long time, eyes boring into his skull with an intensity not unlike Batman’s. The feeling of judgement being passed weighed down on his shoulders before, finally, they spoke,

“I am High King Phantom of the Infinite Realms of the Eighth Dimension,” Power radiated through his voice, “The Great One, Feller of the Tyrant Pariah Dark, Tamer of Vortex, Conquerer of My Future Now Past, Keeper of Death and Life, Wielder of the Ring of Rage, Bearer of the Crown of Fire and The One True Balance.”

Superman felt an icy grip around his heart as he took in everything those titles could mean. And if his experience with extra dimensional beings was anything to go by…

“You are well met, Superman, Protector of… Earth.”

The king seemed to hesitate on the planet, indicating maybe an unfamiliarity with it, but then why would he be here?

Superman composed himself, remembering the diplomatic training of the league, “And.. Your Majesty is here because…?” Words seemed to escape him as he stared into those eyes.

Silence reigned between them again, tense and still, not even the king’s cape seemed to move anymore until the his voice broke it.

“You will find out all in due time, Superman of Earth,” He paused and glanced around them, eyes suddenly clarifying to just two Lazarus green irises, “But for now, I am here simply to observe.”

Without pausing, the king began to fly down to where Clark could see the other heroes congregating.

Superman followed just in time for Batman to step forward and ask him for an introduction and more importantly, information.

Clark jumped in to avoid the amalgam of ominous titles, simply saying, “Batman, this is King Phantom of the Eighth Dimension. He’s.. visiting?”

Batman raised a patented bat glare at him, “Eighth dimension, is that at all related to your troubles with a certain fifth dimensional imp?”

That’s exactly what he’d thought but by Rao he hoped not. Just as he was about to reply though, King Phantom cut in with a flare of his glow.

“Watch your tongue, Man of Bats, accuse me of being a fifth dimensional pest again and we shall see how long you last in no dimensions at all,” the king paused to look down at him, “Mortal.”

Metropolis

ectoberhaunt2023 day 22-portal shenanigans TW- none summary- Danny gets flung int the DCU and decides to become a villain

ao3 ectoberhaunt masterlist part 1 of TCAB

Danny was feeling so done with Clockwork right now. All Danny had said was that he wanted a break from his kingly duties. Clockwork had told him to come to the Long Now. And okay. Danny could admit that he should have been more suspicious or at least cautious. But still! 

Wanting a break was not the same as having Clockwork toss him through a random portal where he’d be able to ‘destress.’ This was the opposite of destressing and Danny would make sure Clockwork knew it when the old clock decided to let him go back.

Danny sighed. He didn’t even know where he was. What was he even supposed to do?

He was in some kind of large city and he remembered Clockwork saying something about superheroes before yeeting Danny through the portal.

What superheroes lived here Danny had no idea, and honestly, he didn’t really care enough to find out. 

Maybe Danny though, since there were already heroes here, Danny could be a villain.

Yes, that was a brilliant idea. Danny grinned, aware that his smile was stretching too wide for his face.

But what to do, what to do.

He obviously didn’t want to be a terrible, no good, very bad villain. He didn’t want to kill people or steal from people who were struggling. So obviously he just had to steal from the rich. 

And how convenient. That was definitely a skyscraper over there.

Danny flew in that direction not caring enough to read the name on the side of the building.

He arrived invisibly and used his intangibility to fly down to the deepest level. The most interesting things were always hidden in the basement. Danny would know. They had a ghost portal in theirs and Vlad had a creepy lab in his.

And ohhh!!!! Those were some shiny rocks. They looked like ectoplasm but solid. He wondered… 

Danny flew forward and grabbed as many as he could carry, stuffing the rest into one of his pocket dimensions. Pocket dimensions were a very nice perk of being the Ancient of Space, if only he had inherited the power of remembering where he put things. Oh well. He’d find them eventually. 

Danny carried out five pieces with him as he flew up through the building. He’d only just gotten outside when someone loudly and sanctimoniously proclaimed, “Halt.”

Danny paused and took in the sight of a man dressed in blue and wearing red underwear over his clothing.

“Dude, you look so cringy.” Was that mean? Oh well. It’s not like Danny would be in this dimension very long.

The man gaped at him and then narrowed his eyes when he saw what Danny was carrying. Then he flew farther backwards.

“Drop the Kryptonite.”

Was that what this was? “Finders keepers.”

“Kid, leave the Kryptonite and we can talk.”

“Why would I want to talk with you?”

The man’s expression hardened and Danny grinned.

“Are they yours?” Danny asked. 

“Listen, it’s extremely dangerous. So, you need to put them down.”

Danny frowned. “These things aren’t dangerous. See?” Danny said and stuck one in his mouth. It tasted kind of tangy but also sweet. It was actually pretty good. He popped the other two into his mouth and the older man gaped at him. 

“What did you do!”

Danny laughed maniacally like all the good villains do. “You will neer get your shiny rocks back.” Danny laughed again before going invisible and flying away, stifling his laughter behind his hands.

This was actually pretty fun. Maybe Clockwork was onto something.

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Spring Break

As the years went on, Barbara gifted Jason a computer of his own, and he took the PSAT's for the first time. To celebrate his results, Jim allowed Jason to go up to Metropolis with his friends. "Got your—." Barbara pointed to her ear to see if Jason had comms with him. Jason nodded. "Heated blanket? Extra socks? Phone charger? Kryptonite? Headphones?"

"Whoa! Hold on, Kryptonite? Why would I need Kryptonite? I'm not meeting Superman, and if I was gonna meet Superman, I definitely wouldn't want to attack him," Jason chuckled. Barbara smiled.

"Just keeping you on your toes," Barbara replied as she opened her arms and hugged him. "You're so grown up. I can't believe you're gonna be sixteen this year!"

"Barb?" Jason whispered.

"Yeah?" she answered, feeling a little more emotional than she was used to.

"You're cutting off my air supply," Jason strained, and she let go and punched his shoulder. "And I'm not that grown up. It's just my PSAT score. Next year is when I get to take the real thing. I think by then, I'll be all caught up with you."

"Don't act like you aren't excited about this trip," Barbara teased. Jason chuckled.

"I am excited... It's the first time I've ever left Gotham. I hate that I was too scared to do Lenaea this year... But maybe that was a good thing. That's a little too far too soon, don't you think?" Jason asked. Barbara pouted playfully. "I'm asking the wrong person. You think I'm old enough to go across the country for a school trip but not old enough to work under your supervision." She pinched his cheek.

"Your chances of dying in Oregon would've been low. Let's leave it there for now," Barbara replied.

"For now?" Jason asked.

"We'll see how you do on your driver's test on your birthday," Barbara whispered as she straightened out his jacket. Jason grabbed her hands.

"Babs, you're joking... You're kidding, right?" Jason asked. Barbara shook her head, and he embraced her.

"Okay, now go put your shoes on. Mr. Polishuk and Number Five will be here any minute," Barbara smiled.

"Oh, you're not gonna believe this. Reese and A.J. like this one. Her name's Emma... And get this, I found out she's having a girl," Jason replied, "But that's a secret. She told me on accident at A.J.'s birthday party. I haven't told Reese or A.J. or Dad, just you." Barbara messed up his hair.

"How is A.J.?" Barbara asked.

"Oh, he's good. He and Mason are going out," Jason replied, "But that's also a secret because Reese and Mason are mad at each other."

"Look at you, the keeper of secrets," Barbara teased. Jason shrugged playfully as the doorbell rang.

"I got it! I got it!" Jim yelled. Jason waved at Barbara as he took his suitcase to the living room and slipped on his shoes. Jason smiled and stood next to Jim for a moment before embracing him. "Be good, okay?" Jason smiled and nodded.

"Love you, Dad. I'll see you Saturday, and I swear I'll take tons of pictures," Jason promised. Jason waved one last time as he followed the Polishuks down to their van. Once they were on the freeway, all the kids started to talk amongst themselves, except Reese, who went straight to sleep.

"Do you think it's finally gonna happen?" A.J. asked Jason.

Jason's ears grew hot, and he shook his head. "Oh, I dunno. I know it's weird that I still haven't kissed him, but it's like every time we go in for a kiss, something horrible happens. Remember at the beach I tried to kiss him, and my nose started bleeding? Or when he went in to kiss me at the spring carnival and threw up over my shoulder? I think we're doomed to never kiss," Jason replied. Reese started to snore, and A.J. laughed.

"You're waiting for a perfect moment, and with Reese, that's never gonna come. He had his first kiss in seventh grade—."

Reese stretched out. "Ignore that. I'm gonna kiss you when we get to the Daily Planet. I've already decided," Reese smiled with his eyes closed. Jason turned to give Reese a peck on the cheek just as Reese turned his head, and they kissed. Jason let out a scream. Everyone else shrieked in surprise.

"What are you screaming for?" Casey yelled as she tried to calm herself back down.

A.J. laughed so hard he started to cry. "The irony," A.J. laughed.

Jason pulled his shirt up to his forehead out of embarrassment. "Please unlock the doors so I can end it all," Jason groaned. Reese held back a laugh as he tried to get Jason to show his face.

"It wasn't bad. I definitely have to say it was worth the wait even if it was an accident," Reese reassured him. Jason revealed his face, and Reese kissed him on the cheek.

They all went back to talking and laughing before the boys drifted off to sleep. The girls continued to talk to each other in the very back of the car. Jason was in and out of sleep for most of the ride there, and he finally awakened to look out the window. "Are we there?" Jason asked. Mr. Polishuk chuckled.

"We're there," he answered. Mr. Polishuk pulled into the parking lot of the hotel. Reese and A.J. woke up and elbowed each other playfully. "Come on, kids. Let's get settled in, and then I'll let you all go."

Everyone piled out of the car and got their bags, and Reese dropped everything to help Emma get her things. Mr. Polishuk went ahead of them to get checked in, and he came back with the keys. She smiled and whispered something to him, and Reese smiled. "Love you too, Emma," Reese replied as he carried both his bags and hers up to their hotel rooms. They all put their bags in the rooms, and they promised Emma and Mr. Polishuk they'd be back before dinnertime. Jason went with Reese straight to the park and hung around eating hot dogs and waiting for a Superman sighting.

"Jason, do you think we'll still be together when we're in our twenties?" Reese asked.

"I think so... But we don't have to worry about that now. That's years from now," Jason replied, "What'd you get on yours?" Jason pointed to the hot dog Reese had.

"Wanna try?" Reese asked as he held it up to Jason's face, and Jason took a bite.

"Mm!" Jason exclaimed as he finished chewing and went in for another bite. "Is that ham? On a hot dog?"

Reese kissed Jason's cheek and went to get two more of the same hot dog. "You should consider entering the school hot dog eating contest this year," Reese teased as Jason took a sip of water.

"Are the hot dogs any good?" Jason asked. Reese laughed and nodded.

"Yeah, they're delicious. Kind of plain, though," Reese replied. Jason started on another one.

"What does the winner get?" Jason asked.

"It's for charity, so it's like one hundred a hot dog for the charity of your choice, and like at the pep rally, a person in a hot dog suit gives you a sash and a crown," Reese laughed.

"Oh yeah, how could I forget the prestigious hot dog coronation," Jason grinned, "Hm... Maybe I'll do it."

"How many hot dogs can you eat? Like realistically speaking," Reese asked. Jason finished chewing before he looked over at Reese.

"Like in one sitting, I'd say maybe like nine if I was on an empty stomach and they were plain. I could probably hold down ten and a half, but no more than that," Jason answered casually.

"Where does the food go?" Reese teased.

"Shut up," Jason laughed. Reese snuck a bite. They both sat and talked until they finished eating, and they got up and walked to the bus stop. Jason checked his phone.

The bus hit a bump in the road, and Reese stumbled a little. Jason looked up from his phone and placed a steadying hand on Reese's arm. "Thanks," Reese whispered, "What's going on?"

"Oh, it's nothing serious right now," Jason whispered. Reese kissed the top of Jason's head. "It's just a dead end."

"Are you still looking for your mom?" Reese asked. Jason nodded.

"Yeah, but it's not looking good. Every time I think I've found my mom, it ends up being a dead end. I try not to look for her too much," Jason whispered.

"Why? Don't you wanna find her?" Reese asked.

"I don't know," Jason replied.

Rip to future Jake who has to survive Bradley’s filthy speech at the bachelor party if Jake and Jess get engaged. It would definitely involve comments on math titty tattoos being aviators kryptonite.

And Sugar vetoing the same speech at the wedding for a more PG one.

OMG. Drunk, loud Beer Boy at the bachelor party...

"Congrats, man. She's a real keeper. But I gotta know if she has a titty tattoo."

"I'm not telling you that, Bradshaw."

Bradley leans in closer. "Come on, I won't tell anyone. But I've got a theory. All these fucking hot academic types have a hidden tattoo. Am I right?"

Invisa-Boy:

Alias: Lenny Fischer

Class: Assassin and elemantalist

Invisa-Boy is a vigilante with the power to become ✨invisible✨. He is a Freedom Pal whose power’s origin is unknown, but he uses it both to slip by unnoticed, stealing cheat sheets from the teachers at South Park elementary that he can sell to students, and to fight crime in the streets after dark.

His closest allies in Freedom Pals are Mysterion, Super Craig and Toolshed, who happen to all be well paying customers.

Backstory:

he doesn’t remember his parents… his memories were stripped away from him… all he knows is that from a young age he could go by undetected. People would often ignore him at school or on the street… it was some kind of super power he possessed, to be so easily ignored and forgotten about. Once he realized the amazing power he possessed he started using it to his advantage, both for good and also business, as he realized kids liked cheating on tests… they really liked cheating. Kids didn’t want to do the work. So he learned he would get paid handsomely if he started selling cheat sheets to kids at his school.

Attacks:

“Silent Onslaught”

Turning invisible, Invisa-Boy runs up and leaps onto the enemy, stabbing them with his dagger. Inflicts bleeding condition and defense down to enemy. Invisa-Boy’s invisible condition ends on his next turn or when he takes damage.

“Fucked From Behind” He runs up behind the enemy and in a similar manner to “backstab” from the Thief class, stabs them. Causing bleeding and extreme damage.

“Wind Turbine” he blasts a windy gust towards enemies (can hit up to 6 squares) causing damage and knockback.

Ultimate attack:

“Now you see me, now you don’t” Going invisible, Invisa-Boy harnesses the power of wind and weaves all farts in the surrounding area into one big cloud around enemies, causing gross-out and extreme damage.

“Pull your head out of your ass let’s GO.”

When hit:

“I guess you aren’t as ignorant as the others.”

“Bring it on.”

“Ack!”

“I could’ve totally blocked that.”

Interesting to be rewatching Sma//ville nearly a decade after my last viewing. I’m much more Lana-friendly now. She will never be my favorite character, but it’s not her fault she was the biggest victim of the show’s shoddy writing. They could never think of a storyline for her that didn’t involve her being someone’s love interest. She was the most directionless character, and she had a terrible exit. Both Lana and Kristin Kreuk deserved better. (Kristin being an incredibly lovely person definitely influenced my opinion of Lana.) Now i just want Lana to be happy, self-fulfilled, and having goals and desires that have nothing to do with her love life or trying to live up to everyone’s image of her or her dead parents. I want her to make fun of Clark’s sad stalking pining and him to laugh with her, I want her to talk art and classic lit with Lex for hours on end, I want her to have female friends who aren’t jealous of her for one reason or another... 

I’m also a lot more sympathetic towards Clark. Not that I didn’t like him before, but I’m more aware of the damage inflicted on him by his well-meaning parents (and AI Jor-El, the evil sadistic fuck) and more understanding of his frame of mind. The boy was messed up and almost no one to confide in. It’s painful watching him go from the smiling a bit mischievous ray of sunshine he was in the first two seasons to the humorless stoic with no real friends aside from Lois. (His relationship with Chloe deteriorated over the years, and he and Oliver were never great friends to begin with.)

I found myself liking Chloe significantly less, mostly due to the Allison Mack factor, but also, it rubs me the wrong way how unempathetic she was in early seasons, which could have been an interesting flaw (and Clark even called her on it!), but then she somehow morphed into a pathalogically selfless perfect friend and secret keeper, except she kept lying to and gaslighting her cousin and making snide remarks about her journalistic aspirations, and this odd tension was never properly explored, and then the writers decided it’d be a great idea to have Chloe replace Clark’s brain and do all the research and come up with all the ideas and make him get off his butt and do the hero-ing to the point Clark was written as a brick of wood with no initiative or working brain cells (Why would CLARK ask CHLOE to decipher Kryptonite symbols for him???) ...anyway, I still think she was a better written character than Lana, but she hit some real lows and weird character transformations (just like Lana), and I can no longer rely on Allison Mack’s talent and charm to help me overlook it because, well. Allison Mack. Geez. I’m usually pro separating the art from the artist, but in this case I just can’t. 

“Memoria” used to be one of my favorite episodes (top 3 even!), but now I’m very conflicted over it and lean towards disliking it, mostly due to Clark’s characterization (WHYYYYYY), and I’m not a fan of the storyline’s implications. 

My feelings towards Lex and Lionel are entirely unchanged. 😁

Later seasons had the worst kind of quippy dialogue. A bad parody of Buffy-speak. And mostly not funny. It makes Supergirl sound like Shakespeare.They had real trouble making different characters’ speech patterns and quirks sound distinct. And the quips, dear God, the incessant quips. Chloe, Lois and Oliver were the worst offenders. 

Oh, and I also realized why none of the kisses on this show worked for me. I never feel the heat. It’s all because the actors only ever kiss on the mouth, but they never like. Kiss each other’s faces. Or necks. Or nuzzle, or breathe each other’s air, or just relish each other’s physical presence. I never feel the desperate need, like they can’t get enough of each other. I guess John and Aeryn ruined me for all other TV het pairings. 😂

Christmas with the Karasuno Boys (HC’s)!!

Part 1: Daichi, Suga, Asahi, Nishinoya, Tanaka, & Ennoshita

Part 2 (Kageyama, Hinata, Tsukishima, Yamaguchi, Kinoshita, & Narita) here!!

A/n: Tumblr said my word count was too much so I’m splitting this bad boi up into two parts :p Enjoy!!

*****

Daichi

A huge romantic during Christmas, 10/10 quality cliche times spent together

You wanna go ice skating? Hell yeah sweetheart, he will make it the most beautifully romantic thing you’ve ever seen

Like straight out of a holiday postcard type beat

Istg the rink he takes you to looks like a more heartwarming version of Rockefeller Center

He’s a big keeper of tradition when it comes to making plans, but doesn’t mind a bit of nonsense fun when everything falls into place

Which is why you love to bring the team along on adventures because they make everything all the more entertaining

At first he’s confused like ??? You don’t have to do that just if they’ve been pestering you about it

But then he realizes you care as much about them as he does (hint: a hell of a lot) and they’re thus invited along for some stuff

Of course y’all also get some quality time together on dates with just you both

Anyways you and Daichi have talked a lot about traveling and how he was really interested in seeing new places

So as his gift you got him a carved map with a roll of red string and thumbtacks, so that he could plan out all the places he wanted to visit

You know how when Kiyoko found the “Fly” banner for Karasuno and all the boys cried?

Yeah

Like that but with lots more hugging and laughing

“You know you’re gonna have to help with mapping this out, right?”

“Is that an invitation I hear?”

“Oh, that’s a promise”

FJSFJDSK ALEXA PLAY AMERICAN BOY BY ESTELLE—

Please I love him; he is so damn sly and sassy I will die with this headcanon

Sugawara

I swear on everything that Christmas with him is equivalent to a Hallmark movie

It smells like joy and warmth wherever he is, and this season only amplifies it

He is such a cheeseball without even having to try

But it’s in the really endearing and heart-melting way,,, just MMM PERFECT

He’ll take you on a walk through those neighborhoods with those crazy light decorations in the front yard and buy you hot chocolate

If he sees a group of little kids gaping at all the lights, he’ll leave them starry-eyed with stories of magic, reindeer, Santa and so-forth

“You know, I’ve heard that Rudolph’s nose is supposed to be brighter than the world’s most powerful Christmas light”

Good heavens, children absolutely adore this man

Anyways he’ll make it a little game as y’all walk around this beautifully lit neighborhood, both of you with a different assortment of bingo squares printed on paper

First one to bingo chooses a movie to watch after getting back to Suga’s house

Will wrap a big fluffy blanket around you both and pull you into his chest while watching the movie

For his gift, you got a star named after him

It’s because y’all alway go stargazing for dates every month, just to sit out, talk and cuddle

Suga gave you the SOFTEST look after opening your gift and this cute little card you made 🥺

“Lets go try to find my new favorite star”

PLEASE HE IS SO SWEET

“Right now? Koushi it’s 11:30 pm”

“Just for ten minutes, and then I’ll get you home”

So y’all spend the rest of Christmas Eve on his roof, sipping warm tea and attempting to locate Star Suga

Asahi

Cuddle bear alert ‼️‼️

It’s basically hibernation time for him, because he’s not the biggest fan of cold

That’s alright with you though 😌 more coziness for you

Lots of quality moments indoors means more creative dates

A whole day devoted to chill present wrapping? Hell fuckin’ yeah

Nice music, pretty wrapping paper, shiny bows, maybe a little Christmas rom-com playing in the back — the whole shebang

You find out pretty quickly that despite how it sounds, it’s actually quite a satisfying and enjoyable pastime

Practically had to drag him out of your living room to secretly wrap his own gift

As much as he’s the king of timidity and soft™, he can be very playfully stubborn when he’s comfortable, hence why he was such an ass to get out of the room

I have no doubt that Asahi would melt for the most adorable, cheesy shit

So you not only bought him some really reliable headbands for volleyball use, but you also made a little coupon booklet

He can basically cash in paper promises for certain things, like getting to choose the next date idea, picking a movie to watch without any objection, having you make his favorite food, etc.

There’s one that he can exchange for a full out spa day trip, because good heavens he’s a sucker for those

Massage and exfoliation and everything — it makes him feel ✨refreshed✨

He was ecstatic fam, I don’t even know what to say

Like a puppy who just got a bunch of toys and a new backyard to play

Mans cashes in one almost immediately, and at first you’re confused

Like it’s Christmas time bubs, what are we gonna be able to do when most places are closed and it’s the holidays?

Then you read the paper

“Free hug (can be used and renewed <3)”

GIVE HIM HIS DAMN HUGS RIGHT NOW

He uses that one a lot throughout the upcoming days, to the point where he just keeps the paper on him for fun

“You realize you can just ask me silly, you don’t need to keep carrying the coupon around”

“Yeah, but it’s entertaining”

Cute little cheeky bastard

Nishinoya

LOVES LOVES LOVES CHRISTMAS

You know the 12 Days of Christmas? The song??

He gets you a small present EVERY DAY for all 12 days

Not to mention he has a big present that he saves for the actual holiday

Y’all are the type of couple to get ice cream in the middle of winter

Nishi loves his cold snacks any time of year, and you’ve thus picked up a similar taste

He will consistently pester you about what kind of present you got him

Gets pouty when you don’t tell him, but in the back of his mind he’s glad because it would ruin the surprise

Anything you get him instantly becomes his most prized gift tho

It could be a literal rock with googly eyes and he’d put it in a protective glass case for preservation

But of course you get him something better than that because he only deserves the best

He’s got this specific assortment of products to maintain his spiky hair and to make sure it’s healthy, but they’re pretty expensive to buy when he runs out

When he tore open your present’s decorative wrapping to discover a huge basket of basically every hair product he ever needed, he got wide-eyed

There was also a booklet of little notes you’d kept throughout the month that listed all the little things you noticed and adored about your precious boyfriend

He nearly CRIED reading them

“Baby, you didn’t have to do all that for me”

“You act like you don’t deserve all of it and more, Nishi”

Refuses to leave your side after that

Holding your hand, hugging you as tight as he can, etc.

He is head over heels idc idc

Tanaka

Another man who is obsessed with the holiday season and everything that comes with it

He is the biggest sap for this shit istg

Will spend hours trying to get you the best present of all time

And he succeeds exceptionally

Mistletoe? He’s got an ABUNDANCE on hand at any time, just to make sure he can get fair share of his kissies 🥰

His signature beanie appears in full force during winter

Sometimes you’ll pull it over his eyes before giving him a peck on the cheek and dashing off in the school halls

“I’ll see you after school, babe!”

Speech = jumbled + incomprehensible

“Uh hUh, you do that~”

He’s: adorable

I just know that he melts for really sweet and thought-out gifts

Like anything you give him he’ll adore, don’t get me wrong, but the ones done with special care and love are just his kryptonite

He brought you into a massive bear hug and spun you around when he opened a photo book of old pictures taken together, complete with lots of cute messages and anecdotes written alongside them

You and Saeko may have also gone in on another present for him without his knowledge

And on Christmas Eve, you dragged a curious Tanaka into his front yard to the sight of a shiny motorbike

It was Saeko’s old one that she’d held onto for a while, and an old schoolmate offered to fix it up nice in time for the holiday at a discount, so y’all decided to divvy up the lowered price and got it done for Ryu

Sweet boy was taken aback, with his hands clapped over his mouth and everything

Saeko patted him on the back as he stood there in shock, giving her baby brother a sweet smile

“All yours, little bro!”

Ya, Saeko fucking loves you 😌 and so does Tanaka

Overall very lovely, would cry to be loved by the Tanaka siblings

Ennoshita

After spending past Decembers with his fellow second year classmates (namely, the very enthusiastic Noya and Tanaka), he’s grown to know quite a bit about the different holiday events that go on around town

Still, Ennoshita is a pretty simplistic guy and is content with simply spending time with you

So when you recommended going to pick a Christmas tree out for your place together, he’s totally down

As long as he gets to help decorate too ☺️

Y’all end up picking a beauty of a tree ngl

It’s SO TALL

And a super stronk friend — fit for the most heavy duty of ornaments

It takes some damn work to get that bad boi inside and upright after driving back to your house

But like hell did that stop you

Now that it was all set up, sturdy, and given plenty of water, decorations were brought into the equation that same night

No rest until it’s all set up and looking mighty beautiful

Okay maybe some coffee breaks in between, but other than that the grind don’t stop ✋😤

Ennoshita is an expert at making Christmas trees look absolutely immaculate

Idk if it’s because he’s had to deal with cleaning up disorder for a while now?

Looking at you, ya second year loons

He just has the touch, fam

He’ll of course let you have input on which light colors, what type of ornaments, and so on

But honestly it’s really fun seeing him fully concentrated on making your tree the best it can be

He lets you on his shoulders to put on the tree topper 🥺

For his gift, Ennoshita really loves books, so you decided to get him 12 different (hardcover!!) stories — one for each month in a year

Along with a small sticky-note blurb on the covers of each to explain why you chose it, and to give similar title recommendations if he ends up enjoying

He was so surprised with how thoughtful and extensive it was

Loved it so much that he immediately started to read the first one, with you sat in his lap

“Chikara, you realize you’re meant to start this one in January?”

“Shh, I’m getting a head start”

OC Questionnaire

So @1000generations @-ed me in a post inviting me to fill out a super-cool questionnaire about my Inky - so here comes the OC Questionnaire! 

It’s long, so part will be below the cut.

THE BASICS:

Character’s name: 

Enasal

Role in story: 

The Inquisitor 

Physical description: 

Around 4ft 8 (Stunted growth due to premature birth and a few stints of starvation), wildly curly red hair that she keeps short, and slightly larger than average (even for an elf) grey eyes.  She has freckles and a green vallaslin of Mythal

Age: 

Starts at 24 and is around 28 in Trespasser.

MBTI/Enneagram Personality Type: 

According to a test I did using answers that I thought Enasal would choose, she wound up as an ISFP - the ‘Adventurer!’.

INTERNAL LIFE: 

What is their greatest fear? 

Being left alone. 

Inner motivation: 

To make people happy.

Kryptonite: 

Failing people.

What is their misbelief about the world? 

Enasal truly, 100% believes that everyone can be good.  Most people agree with me that I don’t think it’s true - some people are made or born bad.

Lesson they need to learn: 

Enasal has to learn that the world will never be completely fair. Bad things will happen to good people, and good things will happen to bad people. 

What is the best thing in their life? 

Friendship.

What is the worst thing in their life?

*DEEP BREATH*

Her childhood.  In order to get rid of Enasals parents - who were uncovering some very un-pretty things about past elves and were both vocal about removing her as being their Keepers (Enasal’s father’s mother) first.  She used all the time they spent in a temple built by a small cult venerating Fen’harel to convince others in the clan that they were beginning to be influenced and were a danger to a clan.  After some murder occurred and Enasal managed to survive after an early birth, she decided having a ‘cursed’ child around would be an excellent scapegoat to explain and mistakes or bad happenings with her clan.

So yeah.  She was alone most of her life.

What do they most often look down on people for? 

Meanness or cruelty.

 What makes his/her/their heart feel alive?

 Having fun and being with her friends - who she considers her true clan.

What makes them feel loved, and who was the last person to make them feel that way? 

Once again, her friends.  Friendship is extremely important to Enasal, and whenever any kindness is shown to her - even once it’s to be expected - makes her little heart soar.  And of course, Cullen’s mere presence makes her feel very loved. 

Top three things they value most in life? 

Friendship, forgiveness, and acceptance.

  EXTERNAL LIFE:

Is there an object they can’t bear to part with and why? 

Enasal’s father carved both she and her sister effigies of the elven gods while their mother was pregnant with each of them.  At Skyhold, they stay on alters she made in her room. Outside, she keeps them in a pouch on her hip. 

 Describe a typical outfit for them from top to bottom. 

I have some HC about Enasal’s clan having clothes slightly different than others.  Scandinavian-esq patterns are often sewed into the clothes, and wearing covers (similar to caplets and ponchos depending on the weather) are often worn over a shirt that has no or sleeves embroidered and cuffed at the wrist or above the elbow - once again, depending on the weather.  Pants are more typically Dalish. As we see with most Dalish, no shoes.  Although I HC that even the Dalish will wear some sort of footwear when there’s snow on the ground, Enasal fights it to the end - Varric is the only one finally able to convince (IE maker) her to wear shoes in the snow and in the desert.

What names or nicknames have they been called throughout their life? 

Because of Enasal saying that her grandmother said she had hair like a stormy sea, Varric takes to calling her Seastorm. Other than that, most people generally call her by her name - she really hates being called anything else for the most part, since her clan often called her ‘Da’fen’harel’.  The only other nicknames come from Krem, who simply shortens her name to En, and her sister Shiral, who calls her Little Heart - a nickname that suggests someone who is sensitive and tenderhearted.

What is their method of manipulation?

Enasal doesn’t tend to manipulate for anything major.  At first, she has no idea she’s doing it.  But eventually, she realizes that blinking her big grey eyes up at people can usually get her what she wants.  At first, Varric teaches her the skill, but she rarely uses it. Cullen is usually the main victim of her big blinking eyes - it’s rare he can tell her ‘no’ to anything when she pulls that card.

 Describe their daily routine. 

Enasal’s schedule is jammed pack - if anyone who gives her any sort of lessons (Fade lessons from Solas, reading lesson from Dorian, manners and how to be a proper young lady from Viv, sparring with the chargers, and bladework/lockpicking with Leliana) is out of commission, she actually struggles when her schedule is disrupted.  

Oh, but how does she handle being out of Skyhold, you ask?

Because she knows to expect nothing and everything.

As far as leisure, she always eats dinner with Varric, no if, ands, or buts.  

Breakfast is spent with the Chargers after their morning drill.

At first, lunch was kind of a free-for-all, but once Cullen survives his lyrium withdrawal and is more willing to eat, they typically eat lunch together.

Also, every evening she and Cullen walk the battlements - this was a tradition even before they had become involved.

Their go-to cure for a bad day? 

Gee, could her friends be involved?  Of course thet are!  Either she ends up having some drinks with her friends, or spending some quiet time with Cullen.

  GOALS: 

How are they dissatisfied with their life?

Despite her acceptance into the Inquisition and the lives of her friends, Enasal still desperately wants to be accepted by the Dalish.  The reason he even went to the Conclave was because her Keeper (the one who was first and orchestrated all the murder and isolation) told her that she would be accepted back into the clan and her name unbound - basically her name was no longer allowed to be spoken. 

So, despite everything, she desperately wishes to be considered part of a Dalish clan.

What would bring them true happiness or contentment? 

Sadly, what would make her happiest will probably happen.

If the fighting could be over and she and her friends spent the rest of their lives near each other and just as they were in Skyhold, just without the war.

But, she does realize that herself.  Sometimes she forgets and then will remember with a lot of sadness.

So she settles into a life in Skyhold with Cullen and those that remain there.  Sometimes, she wishes for a little house with a farm tucked away in the woods, but depending on how everything goes, that might or might not happen.

She does eventually gets to have a child, though!

What definitive step could they take to turn their dream into a reality?

If she leaves the Inquisition.

If she were to leave the fighting and the responsibility to hide, she could have a peaceful life with a cottage and a farm and some dogs with Cullen.

I don’t think she could do anything to make all of it a reality, but that’s probably something she could manage.

 How has their fear kept them from taking this action already? 

Skyhold and the Inquisition is almost everything to Enasal.

It is where she first found friendship and belonging.

 It’s where she learned she was good at things and had a voice. 

Very little could make her leave.

How do they feel they can accomplish their goal while still steering clear of the thing they are afraid of?

Honestly, I feel like the Inquisition is going to last quite a long time - but eventually, the torch will be passed.

Once that happens, she will finally get her little house with Cullen, a child, and probably some dogs.

So, it just relies on patience and doing everything she can until that time comes.

I invite @noire-pandora, @tarasylnin-lavellan, @fade-and-loathing-in-thedas, @aricazorel and ANYONE ELSE WHO WANTS TO! DON’T WAIT TO BE TAGGED!

[voracusrdr]

(Dragon Age) OC Questionnaire

Well nearly two months later but I've done it @fade-and-loathing-in-thedas sorry I took so long

THE BASICS:

Character’s name: Eirlin Lavellan

Role in story: Inquisitor, Herald of Andraste

Physical description: Freckled albino, the main difference being his ice blue eye color due to his magic, with gold Mythal vallaslin and roughly mid back length wavy hair that's usually up somewhat haphazardly (or an undercut I'm torn). Build wirey (think Linda Hamilton in terminator 2) with an average elvhen height.

Age: 34

MBTI/Enneagram Personality Type: no clue, haven't thought about it

INTERNAL LIFE:

What is their greatest fear?: depends on where he is in life. Pre Inquisition it's being taken advantage of, during for the most part that those he's grown close to aren't genuine, after losing them. Them being Dorian, Cassandra, Cole and Cullen

Inner motivation: to be better than what others see and expect.

Kryptonite: his guardedness (and pricklyness)

What is their misbelief about the world?: That no one can be trusted and just tolerated at best (he figures out he's wrong during Inquisition though)

Lesson they need to learn: it's really hard to say since his story isn't quite over, however for a majority of his life the lesson he needed to learn was that both people can/do care about him and conversely that he can/does care about others.

What is the best thing in their life?: The people he cares about and loves. Pretty much all of his life until Inquisition he never had anyone that truly cared so when he does find and becomes close to Dorian, Cole, Cass, and Cullen he treasures each of them more than anything.

What is the worst thing in their life?: other people honestly, he is ostracized by everyone even by his own people be it because of his magic, his appearance or his race.

What do they most often look down on people for?: Being judgemental

What makes his/her/their heart feel alive?: small things, finishing up a training session, the quiet early morning before he starts the day (and deal with people), time spent with Dorian even just sitting together, things like that.

What makes them feel loved, and who was the last person to make them feel that way?: Being truly seen, as to who was last.. likely Dorian.

Top three things they value most in life?: Those he's closest to, his skills, and quiet whether that's through silence or, no one scrutinizing him/having to be on guard or something similar.

EXTERNAL LIFE:

Is there an object they can’t bear to part with and why?: The sending crystal Dorian gives him the why I think is obvious, it's vital for their communication when apart.

Describe a typical outfit for them from top to bottom: keepers robes to put it simply with a lighter version when at Skyhold.

What names or nicknames have they been called throughout their life?: Amatus, Husband (does that count?), and a few derogatory ones from his clan mates/others since they viewed his albinism as a negative.

What is their method of manipulation?: He isn't really a manipulator, he's blunt and brutally honest much to Josie's distress. You could say his sharp intellect but it's usually used to call out someone's bullshit (the winter palace was hell for him)

Describe their daily routine: When at Skyhold Eirlin will usually wake at dawn (or slightly earlier) he enjoys the quiet/solitude and will meditate before running through training exercises. Then it fluctuates between necessary Inquisitor duties, magical projects with Dorian Viv and Solas, and reading. After he and Dorian became a couple Eirlin would often spend his evenings with Doran.

Their go-to cure for a bad day?: Toss up between meditation and/or solitude.

GOALS:

How are they dissatisfied with their life?: If we're talking post Trespasser having to be away from Dorian and feeling like he doesn't quite have a place in the world anymore.

What would bring them true happiness or contentment?: To be by Dorians side for good no more back and forth.

What definitive step could they take to turn their dream into a reality?: I… don't have an answer it's really out of his hands since .

How has their fear kept them from taking this action already?: Again don't really have an answer

How do they feel they can accomplish their goal while still steering clear of the thing they are afraid of?: Only thing he can really do is be as supportive as he possibly can for his husband.

Reiner & Mikasa: A Retrospective Pt. 1

Why their combined synergy is poetic in potentially saving Eren by the end of SnK?

(Disclaimer: This is purely an appreciation post for my two favorite characters, [BR]OTP-influenced but in no way disregarding any other characters’ importance in the series) **contains spoilers for recent manga chapters & Ep. 63 of AoT’s Final Season. Image heavy.

Ever since they were trainees, Eren has always looked up towards both Reiner and Mikasa, although he wasn’t willing to admit to the latter in front of her face directly. But, in a feeling of helplessness, he confided in Reiner. He aspired to be just like the two strongest people in his life at that point: Reiner and Mikasa.

They are the top two cadets of the 104th batch and are almost always evenly matched in the multiple times they’ve tried to take each other down if it wasn’t for Reiner’s stroke of luck and Mikasa’s hesitance. (Mikasa managed to force him out of his Titan form using her last Thunder Spear but wasn’t enough to kill him even when she said she wanted to)

(Oh yes, she & Levi gave him enough trauma for his PTSD and he has recurring nightmares of her. But he still respects them. Enemy to enemy. Enemy to ally.)

Yet together, there’s still a fighting chance for them to stop Eren because of their deep bond with him. (Armin is important too that ARM still has a huge role to play in the second wave of the final fight. Especially now that he’s realized OG Ymir’s role in all of this. I hope)

At this current timeline of the manga, we have reached the point where Reiner and Mikasa, the very two people that Eren looked up to, have to be the ones (amongst the few) who collectively work together to defeat him, who’s under the Founder Ymir’s influence & in a way, saving him from whatever hopeless vortex he is in.

I very much like to draw light to this short, quick exchange between Reiner & Mikasa on the plane heading towards Fort Salta’s direction. The above panel, which highlighted Reiner’s perspective and his empathy, says “The weight of that unimaginable power & burden would not be easy to endure and that IF he was the one who has the Founder, he’d want it to be handled by someone else and if he couldn’t handle that immense power, he’d want the power to be stopped.” Some fans claimed that Reiner was ‘projecting’ his own innate desire to die on Eren but Reiner has always been the opposite to Eren’s character. The other side of the same coin as Eren’s.

The below panel follows and it’s very interesting to note that if we look at Reiner’s gaze as he was speaking, indirectly Reiner is admitting that he’d want to be stopped by someone he knows could do exactly that and that person or his kryptonite is Mikasa. Ok, woman, this man’s weakness is you. It couldn’t get any direct than that rofl

Reiner was being very mindful (and respectful) of his implication as he is very aware on how delicate is Mikasa’s feelings when it comes to Eren. (Tbh, I also observe the unspoken understanding & mutual respect between these two) Eren’s her family & to directly call out to Mikasa to be more proactive in her actions would be inconsiderate of him despite the situation they’re in. Just like at the harbor, before the showdown with the Jeagerists, Reiner gave them the option to stay aside & not interfere, knowing full well he & the rest of the Marleyan survivors would be no different than headless chickens without the SC’s support. He didn’t force them, just like he didn’t impose his thoughts on Mikasa.

Then BOOM -- PATHS INTERMISSION. Brought to you by OG!Ymir through Young!Eren. Coincidentally, as if ‘someone’ out there wants to place weight on Reiner’s suggestion.

However, after the Paths intermission, that might just be the first wake up call to Mikasa. It’s also interesting that once again we are reminded that no matter how fast or how hard Mikasa tried to chase after Eren, she’ll never be able to get close to him. She gave him her world yet he kept moving forward & leave her behind, chasing after his shadows as he keeps going down a path that no one else can follow. I think it’s interesting that The Paths looped her back to Reiner

The horrified expression on Reiner’s face in the panel below somewhat tells me that he knew his earlier implications are not just him grasping desperately at straws but it feels like there’s the ‘human’ side of Eren, still untainted by Ymir’s will, like he believes, who secretly wants to be stopped. He understood how horrible it is for Mikasa, especially with the look of absolute shock on her face to finally have the awful truth confirmed. (At this point, Armin is already past the point of holding back & will do whatever necessary to rip Eren out of the Founding’s form)

I would like to take the time to share my appreciation of these rich panels of Mikasa working closely with Reiner’s Armored (together with the rest of course). Mikasa doesn’t tell her feelings verbally but she always shows it on her face.

Oh yes, right after the above panel, she had to get out of the way but her face below explains the anger and the rage she felt when she saw the Colossal took a bite out of the Armored’s nape & toss its body away like it’s just point blank garbage.

She was desperately worried that Armin was taken, but at Levi’s behest, she trusted Armin with his orders and they forced themselves to move forward. But one can see she was about to go apeshit when she saw what happened to Reiner & his Armored.

While Reiner & Jean were having a Titanic bro moment here, which is also pivotal in my opinion as Reiner, once again felt he finally belonged amongst people who genuinely care about him Survey Corps Suicide Squad yo even after what had happened between them. (It was a symbolical scene as well where Reiner has to let go of his old bro, Bertolt to move forward with his new bro, Jean.) Mikasa swooped in & kill the random Titan form that was about to make Reiner its lunch. Can’t blame them, that man is a delicious footlong sub. This woman ain’t gonna share haha crack humor, people! 

“If we fight, we win. If we lose, we die.”

Yes, the breaking point of one Mikasa Ackerman. This is a wholesome callback to Trost arc, the day before their graduation. When she found out that Eren died, she went apeshit & went on a “fuck this shit. i have nothing to lose anymore” mode. Jean, as usual, being the tough guy Jean, is angry that she’s putting her life on the line. Again.

But what’s interesting to me was the helpless look on Reiner’s face. He knows she’s super strong, he respects her so much for that & she’s buying them time and was more than willing to die first before everyone does BUT he can’t do much at that point because he’s at his last limit and Jean’s not letting his hand go either. Seriously, THIS is the woman you should marry, bro. She’s willing to die for you & everyone else. This woman is a damn keeper!

Although I am very sure, everyone’s ready to die for each other at this point.

Back to the original pondering: The Reiner & Mikasa saving Eren with/through Armin going directly against Ymir.

The Final Exhibition played a lot on this Eren vs Reiner with Mikasa being in the middle. Touched on this briefly before.

The Final Stand highlights the confrontation between The Founding/Attack against The Armored, with Mikasa being in the middle of the confrontation, tipping the scales of the outcome. Before, she assisted Eren against Reiner.

We are seeing her working together with Reiner to take Eren down right now. The definitive final question that would be answered soon was printed on the wall featuring Eren & Reiner’s exhibition panel:  “Who’s the one that will disappear from this world?”

I just hope that the right one(s) persevere. Reiner & Mikasa are going to Bonnie & Clyde/ Cloak & Dagger / Cyclops & Phoenix that shit out

Chlark or Clana?

So what you’re saying is…you want to cause me pain?

Oof. This is a hard one. Let me work through it.

In the early seasons, as much as it may be hard to believe, I was actually a Chlark shipper. Although I don’t know that was so much because I wanted them to end up together or bust as much as…I preferred almost anything to Clana.

Clana was always toxic, in my opinion. The show runners were so focused on the draaaaaama that they rarely gave the two a moment to breathe and actually enjoy themselves in their relationship. They were so focused on the two as star-crossed lovers, they rarely ever allowed them to be FRIENDS (which is the foundation of a good romantic relationship). And, of course, they so often went back to the same well of “secrets and lies.” And at a certain point, it’s like…damn. If you’re not going to tell her the truth, stop torturing yourself and her, Clark. And, Lana, if you know Clark won’t tell you the truth (and it’s been YEARS so he clearly won’t), stop torturing yourself - and I guess him - and realize that you can love each other and not be right for each other. Girl, love yourself!

On the other hand…and speaking of lost causes you should walk away from. Chlark. They also dragged that on waaaaay too long, with Chloe’s unrequited love. And, yeah, they did have Clark show mild interest in the first season - though she was always second to Lana. But then Chloe broke up with him as a test (one she really should have known he wouldn’t pass, which honestly is good reason to break up with someone, but then she should have moved on). And that was pretty much it for Clark. He was never really interested in returning to that relationship, though Chloe certainly held on for a long time after.

There’s also the issue that, once they started writing characters off the show, they wrote Chloe to fill the void left behind to justify her continued presence. So when his parents left, she became mother figure, secret keeper, and so on. She stopped being a three-dimensional character to become his brain, stifling his growth to drag out his eventual destiny and, yeah, try to pretend she still was needed on the show. And because they made her his brains, she could never be “wrong” - or, when she was (such as with the stockpiling of kryptonite weapons), Clark had to eventually come around to saying she was right all along anyway.

So….man. Chlark or Clana? Well, romantically, as toxic as Clana was…at least they genuinely loved each other. Chloe may have always been infatuated with Clark, but he never reciprocated so she just ended up being a dog getting kicked. Again. And again. And again.

As friendships go, on the other hand, Clana were never allowed to really be friends because the romantic drama always got in the way. And for the record? I think if they’d just put the romance behind them in, say, season 5, the writers could have developed an EXCELLENT, profound, and deep friendship between the two. Plus, while Chloe became Clark’s brain, Lana became literal poison to him because she didn’t think she was enough on her own.

Oof. Well, I always need a good friendship to get behind a romantic relationship, so I should probably skew toward Chlark? But…the other thing is that I actually LIKED Chloe as a character once upon a time. Until around season 5-6 when she stopped being her own character and became a full-time plot device. Lana was what she was in her relationship with Clark, and I may not have liked what she was or come to like her more over the course of the show…but I didn’t come to like her less, either. So maybe Clana?

All right. Having worked through my thought process, I’m going with Clana. Because Clark may have driven me up a wall in his romantic plot with Lana year after year, but he never had to ask her how to redial a phone the way he did with Chloe. So at least he was allowed to be his own character outside of that aspect of the plot. Plus…their relationship may have been toxic, but at least they were equally toxic to each other. (So it was a relationship of equals?) Whereas Chlark was basically a story of a girl who just got her heart broken again and again and again by a guy who never did and never would feel even remotely the same about her. And a guy who would eventually become infantalized to justify the girl’s existence.

Plus…well, all things considered, any scene with Chloe is a little harder to watch now than it was a decade ago.

So I guess Clana? But I feel a little dirty about it.
