#m:before and after

“Agatha can’t control her powers and kills a bunch of people, this explains why Death is in love with her because it means she gets more bodies” No.

No no no.

I need “Agatha can’t control her powers and the first time someone blasted her with their magic they died right in front of her and she was only seven years old and terrified and alone until suddenly there was a small little girl across from her who gently took her hand and told her it was okay”

I need “Agatha can’t control her powers and had a tantrum, purple exploding out of her, but the other witch was too fast and Agatha blinked and they were dead on the ground and she scrambled back against the wall, curling up into a little ball and shaking, shaking, shaking, until someone just as young and soft as her stroked her hair back and told her they knew it was an accident”

I need “Agatha can’t control her powers and was beaten and bruised by her mother until she couldn’t take it anymore and ran off into the woods and was blasted by someone who thought she was a witch hunter, and she didn’t even realize what was happening until it was too late. Agatha climbing into a tree and scraping her cheek and trembling as she stared at the lifeless witch, something rattling deep inside of her that sounded like a stranger’s voice. And then the stranger appearing through the thick, standing over the dead body and instantly looking up, looking for Agatha. Finding her in the tree and climbing in with her. Smoothing a thumb across her cheek until it didn’t sting anymore”

I need “Agatha can’t control her powers and any spell she tries goes haywire, the final teacher that swore she could fix her grey and lifeless on the floor as Agatha sat up on the kitchen table and just stared and stared, tears falling, always falling, until that familiar face appeared through the bedroom doorway, watching Agatha, not the woman, and threaded their fingers together. Guided her to cracked, dusty skin and forced her to feel it, hand pressing hers into dead flesh and murmuring ‘exceptional’ under her breath before explaining every single step of reaping a soul. Talking and talking until Agatha wasn’t crying anymore, until she couldn’t remember why she had been upset in the first place”

I need “Agatha can’t control her powers but she also couldn’t control her temper, and suddenly half of a coven was dead before her, barely eighteen years old, and then the girl, also freshly a woman, the closest thing she knew to having a friend, sliding up behind her and placing a hand on her shoulder, wiping her tears away. Shushing her pleas of ‘why can’t I control it? Why do I ruin everything I touch?’ with soft murmurs of ‘there’s nothing wrong with you. You didn’t kill them. They simply… bent to your power.’”

I need “Agatha can’t control her powers but she sure as hell tried, until she was tied to a stake and her coven fell at her feet and her mother crumpled before her, hellbent until the moment she died to punish Agatha for things she had never meant to do. Agatha, with her grief and her relief and her freedom, finally, somehow still sobbing over her mother’s death, curled up far away and safe in the woods. Safe until Death came for her, hands cupping her face too tenderly, too delicately, and forced Agatha to meet her eyes. Death, who had somehow become the only one to ever show her mercy and kindness and compassion, leaning her forehead against hers and whispering ‘it’s okay. I am so proud of you.” Death leaning in so, so hesitantly and pressing the smallest kiss to her mouth. Breaths hitching. Eyes meeting. Long, loaded stares and trembling fingers and Death herself smiling at Agatha like she actually meant it. Agatha fisting her cloak and yanking her closer and letting Death suck the air right out of her lungs, and Agatha somehow living anyway”

That’s what I need.

i see your “wu and garmadon started aging because they were separated/in different realms” and raise you;

its not just about them growing older. wu gives up immortality and becomes more human, less god, while garmadon starts turning into some sort of eldritch horror. into something inhuman. idk idk its just. such a wide divide.

"But before Mal could make the return trip to Greece with his family, John and Paul had flown back to England. Despite their misgivings about the habitability of Aegos, the boys instructed Alistair to make the purchase anyway, earning a modest profit when they flipped the property a few months later. Not wanting to disappoint Lil and the children, John invited the Evans family to spend a few weeks at his home in Weybridge. While they were there, Lily's father, William White, succumbed to a heart attack at age sixty-seven. Over the past few years, Mal had shared with her how intimidating John could be, so Lil was surprised when the Beatle brought her a cup of tea, let down his guard, and showered her with consolation. Like Mal, Lily would always remember John's tender gesture. 'It's very hard at times like these to give verbal comfort to anybody,' Mal wrote, 'but John was fantastic, and I knew that he gave Lil a lot of comfort in her hour of need — something I have always blessed him for.' Shortly afterward, Mal and his family made their sad return to Liverpool, 'where we were to receive a most beautiful letter from Brian Epstein, offering his condolences and sympathy.'"

regarding your tags on the kandreil vs kerejean poll. thea is also a raven though? like loyal to them til the end. how do we know she wouldn't also fall into the same bad habits... not trying to start a fight, i'm just genuinely confused.

Oh this is fun!! The important part about this is that we must remember there is so little of Thea in context of the actual series and from what I know, there’s not a lot about her in the EC (I haven’t read it and it’s not important to the OG post anyway). That being said, we Will need to use some of the EC to fill in her already lacking character.

This is gonna be analysis-heavy so forgive me for being wordy!

Thea has ofc gone through the terrible, horrible Ravens cult brainwashing as anyone else has. We don’t see her past Riko’s death, but we can assume she reacted similarly to the other Ravens. That kind of brainwashing is extremely difficult to fight against! And then having your essential cult leader die….yeah I’m sure she was going through it.

That being said, I think she can overcome it with careful therapy and a thorough care system. I’m sure Thea has friends and/or teammates that care about her and could support her through whatever breakthrough she had. I’m sure she cares enough about her spot on the Sirens to brute force her way to recovery. I even believe some distance away from the Ravens was enough to put even a little bit of apprehension of their practices after seeing that other teams — especially Professional teams — don’t do HALF of that shit is blind to be an eye-opener.

Combine those things together and Thea has a way out. I believe she gets better — at least functional. And the reason I believe this because of Kevin and Thea’s daughter! I don’t think either of them would raise a kid unless they were starting to heal from the Nest and made leaps and bounds. I don’t even think a child would be a thought to them UNTIL all that healing is done.

I also think Kevin needs to fully step out of the Ravens mindset to heal, and that means getting rid of the buddy system, and that means separating himself from Andrew a little bit!! Just a little bit. The same logic for Jean, really. Though these will be his closest friends and confidants, I think it’s easy to fall into habits with people you have an established history with. There’s a dynamic that’s easy and if you don’t pay attention, you can stumble back into it!!

I ALSO think Thea, being as strong willed as she is, will make Kevin at least start recovering before any kind of kid is involved. The way she stormed into Kevin’s dorm after hearing the news and threatened to break up? Her high position in the Ravens? Thea Muldani fights for what she wants and she will get it one way or another if it’s something worth fighting for.

Hence the therapy, hence the child!

Ofc bc Thea is so bare bones this is me doing analysis with scraps and more so going “What can Thea give Kevin that the others can’t?”

Serious question What do you think Mike's relationship with the other bad family members are like? (DC x FNAF)

Okay I love this question!

First off Bruce

Bruce already wants to adopt him so badly but it only gets worse after every fight with William. like in the Batcave post-battle he goes “Michael…” and then Mikes just gone fully disappeared peaced out (he snuck away while Bruce was brooding)

but if the battle with William's creations was emotionally taxing enough on Michael he goes to Bruce’s office instead of home and waits for him to come up (this happens enough for Bruce to check after every fight with William) and they just talk and/or hug for a while sometimes Mike crys himself to sleep in his arms but most of the time he’s stable enough to go to Tim’s room or home with Henry

Michael has a very Steph Like situation he has a guardian and a roof over his head but still spends most of his time at the manner and relies on Bruce as a father figure he loves Henry obviously but let’s be honest Henry is not stable enough to be a dad to Michael

Now in one version of this au! Tim! (They’re still best friends in the other version obviously)

Their boyfriends. the end. Moving on.

Okay I'm joking

Their boyfriends and They're dating Bernard.

Tim realized he was queer a lot earlier than canon because of Michael. they met when he was Robin in a very similar manner to him and Steph (this is where the sexuality crisis begins) various vigilante shenanigans later Tim realizes he feels the same way about Michael that he does Steph has his crisis and realizations then keeps it inside and buries it deep (not because of internalized homophobia because he has a girlfriend)

And then realizes he also has a massive crush on Bernard his totally Straight Friend who would definitely never feel the same and already has a “crush” on Darla (meanwhile Bernard ❤️👄❤️)

Then BAM! Bruce had Michael enrolled at his school without telling him (this is during the Robin!Steph era which I think lasts longer in this au?) and obviously Michael joins the friend group (fuck canon Bernard doesn’t have a car in this au) and becomes the designated driver he takes them everywhere but the arcade and they don’t actually start dating until post Red Robin (2009) but there was definitely tension

Also Michael definitely convinced Tim to go back to school post Red Robin (probably by going “sigh I wish I could go back to school” “sigh I miss driving you and Bernard around after school” “sigh- And so on)

I’m basically writing fanfiction at this point I think it’s time to stop for now. I’ll come back to this post eventually.

I think. I hope.

I know Black History Month starts next week so I kinda have a few reminders n tips.

Even after Feb, please continue to support and uplift Black writers on this site and people outside of this site.

As I’m sure you’re aware being Black and in fandoms is difficult to say the least with constant berating of our race/skin, the struggle to read fics we see ourselves in etc along with the community label bullshit occurring throughout this site.

On the first of Feb I’m going to try to do a “your w black writer, promote yourself by reblogging” thing so hopefully visibility can be seen for us.

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS / @vacantwar

His teeth tastes of blood and crippling set-back, thumb-checking his lip that's been split and the rest of his knuckles that are bent out of shape. For whatever reason, Khan thought it a good pastime while they waited out his arrival back to Earth, back to his sentencing with a little one-on-one sparring spree. Asshole knew he held all the cards in this; probably why he chose it in the first place — easy amusement. Especially when Jim's been catching that smug ass smirk of Khan's when their bodies are slotting close, arms locked one over the other. When there's a dark chuckle breathing up behind his ear while writhing himself out of a chokehold. Or how Kirk's hands have dug crudely into the augment's hips, fabric of a shirt bunching over knuckles that are red and worn and hot with the rush of blood as they fall together, and he's layered over Khan, close enough to see those hazel blues flash obscenely, before it's gone and he's practically sent flying into the wall ten feet away. Dusting off the invisible dirt off his hands, Jim is about to turn his back on Khan just for the sake of closing his eyes in a short breath of rest, a reprieve to bring the racing of his heart under control, bite back the areas around his body that are starting to smart - no doubt bruised. He'll have to ditch out another checkup with Bones for a week. However, the next moment sends the world spinning under his feet before his skull is met against the hull with a hardening clunk and his spine lined up to the shocking chill against bristling cold metal in the quiet sanctuary of Jim's own quarters. To his horror, Jim is scraping the floor with his boots, barely able to toe himself up enough to keep leverage. Great. Awesome. He's practically hung meat at this point.

"Okay, got it," a struggle to speak over the tight hold on his collar. He smacks at Khan's wrist to ease up the tension and simultaneously admit surrender. "Don't turn your back on your opponent- you can get off now."
