[emeraldcity1900]

the history of animation in a nutshell

Early 1900s: hey what if comic strips could like move?

Late 1910s early 1920s hey what if we mashed this up with live action people?

late 1920s: hey what if this thing had sound?

Early to mid 1930s: hey what if this had people actually talking and also color?

late 1930s: hey you know that super cool movie that one lady animated with paper cut out silhouettes? What if we did that with painted cells? Would people even pay to see that? Never mind it turns out the answer is yes.

1940s: ah shit most of our animators got drafted and/or hate us now cause we weren’t paying them. IT’S PROPAGANDA TIME BABY. Also haha hitler got hit with a mallet and also the most racist depictions of Japanese people ever.

1950s to 1960s : oh what’s this newfangled thing? Television? What if you could air cartoons on it? Oh fuck no I ain’t paying that much to get the charecters to have different backgrounds and for the charecters to like, move fluidly. Also manga and anime are steadily growing more popular.

1970s: (Ralph Bakshi walks into a comics store and finds a furry comic) X rated animated movie? *cue the screams of mothers and their unsuspecting children now being introduced to the revolutionary idea that cartoons don’t equal kids stuff? WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO?

1980s to 1990s: we can have full on animated Broadway musicals? Wait, what do you mean animated movies can count for the Oscar’s? What do you mean now they get their own catagory because the academy still thinks their for babies? Anime and manga are taking off in the west. SWEET JESUS WHAT DRUGS ARE THE JAPANESE ON SHOWING THIS SHIT TO KIDS. But also why is it so fucking good. Maybe some of these aren’t even meant for kids? Wait We can sell toys to kids with cartoons? Wait we can actually put effort into these cartoons on television? The fuck to you mean we can animate in 3D now? What do you mean we can have well animated, well written sitcom shows like the simpsons? What do you mean you can make cartoon charecters say fuck? What drugs are creators at Nickelodeon on? Do I even want to know?

2000s: oh my god, there is this one show that I really like cause it’s really well written and genuinely funny but I can’t talk about it because it’s animated and we all know cartoons are for babies right? Oh look it’s the transformers movie, look how far CGI has evolved so we can make the transformers in a movie.

2010s: holy shit I know these shows are for kids but they’re just well written and have so much meaningful things to say about the world. Wait, it’s cool to like cartoons now? They they have fandoms for this? Fuck yeah I’m in. (Enters one of the most notoriously toxic fandoms of all time) THEY HAVE GAY PEOPLE IN THESE SHOWS NOW? AND COMPLEX EMOTIONAL STORYTELLING? AND ADULT ANIMATED SHOWS CAN BE MORE THAN JUST SITCOMS WITH THE SAME JOKES AND STYLE? WHY IS IT THAT EVERY DISNEY CARTOON SINCE GRAVITY FALLS INCLUDE THINGS THAT GET MORE AND MORE FUCKED UP? WHY DO I FUCKING LOVE IT? WHY THE FUCK DID DISNEY DO THE OWL HOUSE DIRTY LIKE THAT?

2020s: I got this show I wanna pitch but it dosen’t fit into any box that the networks want and also I’m afraid that they’ll just randomly cancel it before I can finish the story I want to tell. Wait, I can just post the pilot on my YouTube channel, see if anybody actually likes this thing I made and just make the show independently? FUCK THE NETWORK! I AM THE NETWORK

In that case… Could I please request Killer Croc/Waylon Jones with a supringly really attractive boyfriend (like a male version Jessica Rabbit level hot, like it dosen’t even make sense for someone to be that hot) who no one understand how Waylon pulled. Waylon’s boyfriend is very sultry and alluring.

And Waylon roughly breeds his boyfriend doggy style 😇.

Thank u :)

Waylon Jones x Male reader

Headcanons

Guten Abend squad, how is everyone doing? Classes are still running at a max level, and I’m starting to think this is just how it goes. So, time to chillax with some Waylon.

Not as smutty as I would have wanted, but this honestly just built a life of its own and started running.

We see in the comics, or at least in one run, that Waylon does have game and knows how to pull somebody very attractive, so its not too surprising so could pull you. That’s what you think at least, since he’s a great guy, to you.

I imagine you two met after he left the circus, maybe you guys even left together. With Waylon being the circus’s “freakshow” and you only being there as eye candy to sell tickets. With you both being reduced to nothing but your looks, you two find solidarity with each other, and fall in love.

No one ever really took your love seriously back then, just thinking you were using Waylon for protection, since someone as pretty as you couldn’t be safe anywhere.

Insert the “seriously, what do you see in that guy?” “he makes me laugh” scene.

If we go with the verse where Waylon was in Halys circus, then the only ones that seemed to have some version of acceptance of your love was the Grayson’s. it was one of the reasons you two left the circus, having a strong feeling of what had truly happened to them and who caused it.

After leaving the circus, you couldn’t live in the sewers like Waylon. This meant you got an apartment, in the beginning in crime alley since it was cheapest.

You may have been so beautiful it would drive people mad, but you also had a head on your shoulders. So, in the end you set up a legitimate business, maybe you even become something akin to a designer. Mainly because your lover is so big, there’s no other way to get him clothes.

And maybe during your time in crime alley, you stumble upon a scrawny kid who, though he may act tough, still has a light in him. And maybe that kid ends up being batman’s second robin, who remembers how kind you were to him and everyone around you, so he doesn’t go as hard against Waylon.

The past you have with the Grayson’s also means that Dick takes it easier on Waylon, and they even settle down and talk at times. You’ll regularly find the two former robins hanging around your art studio, even years later when they aren’t robin anymore.

Your lover goes to Arkham, a lot. But you never hate him or even argue with him. You’ll just pull up to Arkham in your most beautiful outfit during visitors’ hours and hold Waylon’s hand as you two act like a new married couple, even if it’s been twenty at this point.

And it may have been twenty years, but you just seem to have become more handsome with age, aging like fine expensive wine. You don’t become shrewd or corrupted by the world around you, instead you stay kind and patient. You’re still in Gotham though, so you’ll turn violent if you have too.

No one really believes that Waylon purrs, until you show up and he becomes as meek as a kitten, ready to roll in your manicured hand.

Its no secret that you, one of the most famous designers around, and Killer Croc, are together. But its just such a normal part of everyday life now, that no one really questions it. your works never been dirty, you help those around you, and lift up poor and struggling artists whenever you can. So, what if your husband is tearing up the road trying to bite Batman to bits.

Theres a viral video in Gotham of you stepping out during one of Waylon’s rampages, and just scolding him, wagging a finger in his face and still looking so unbelievably gorgeous as you do so.

And yes, of course your design trademark is crocodile scales, or anything along those lines. You’ll never use real crocodile skin, but you do use the print or shape.

After all this time, people don’t fear Waylon as much as they probably should, all thanks to you. Its kinda hard to fear a guy when you know his boyfriend is unofficially titled the most beautiful man in Gotham, who’s also as giving and kind as the Waynes, whilst being more involved in the nitty gritty, since you still live in Crime Alley.

Someone has threatened Waylon with telling on him to you at least once too, which doesn’t stop him, but it does cause him to freeze and get an “oh shit” expression, long enough for people to run to safety.

Being one of the most skilled fashionistas around also means you have met the Waynes on multiple occasions.

The shared past with Dick and the circus, and Jason, though you don’t remember him as vividly, means you get called on more than most.

As you measure them out and start making designs, conversations flow, and Damian most likely ends up bluntly just asking you why in the world you decided to pair up with Killer Croc of all people.

You correct him in your answer, referring to your husband as Waylon, and then you just start waxing the poetics. Of your shared past, of the deep unshakable love you both share, and how under all his struggles, Waylon truly is an amazing man.

You’ve never confirmed that Dick was Robin, even though it was very obvious. Its not your place to judge how he, or his family, deal with their trauma or whatever they have going on. Your lover swims through the sewers, you can’t really say anything.

A few passing comments are made though, obviously. You tell the Waynes to “take it easy next time they see Waylon, wont you?” with one of your heart shaking winks before you saunter out, ready to start putting together your latest design.

Its kind of an accepted, not really a secret, secret. Its never put into words, and they know that you know, and you know that they know you know. Nothing ends up happening with it though, outside of you making some jokes and judging their hero outfits.

With age you’ve become less sultry and alluring, at least in the way the public can point out as obviously as before. You have simply mastered your field, and know just how to play people around you if you need too.

Though, you didn’t really learn to master it for the public. It’s mainly just for Waylon, so you like to see how his nostrils flare, and when he starts chuffing in the back of his throat when you saunter around in nothing but a silk robe.

The bats know that the first place Waylon goes when he gets out of Arkham is to you. But…they also all know to wait at least a day or two before they come for him. To allow you to spend some time together, but also because most of them have caught of glimpse of you… reunions…

Bruce wont admit it, but he’s at least impressed with you being able to take two of them at the same time, even after all these years. He might note down your many skills somewhere… just in case.

Reunions with Waylon are typically a hot and steamy affair. Or well, as hot and steamy as a guy whose as cold as a reptile can get. There are days where either of you may not be up for it, and then its just cuddles and having some nice domestic time together before he’s taken back to Arkham again.

But when it does get hot, then you are very happy you own the entire building. Waylon can get quite loud, but never as loud as he still makes you even after all these years.

Sure, you’ve learned to handle it more after all this time, but it still makes you squeal when Waylon fits both his shafts inside you at the same time, lifting and moving you around like a doll.

Where Waylon may be rough and violent in every other part of his life, Waylon is slower and much more careful in the bedroom. He doesn’t want to lose his senses and hurt you on accident. You have some very faded bite and claw scars on your body, back from when you first got together, and Waylon likes to remind himself of that.

Sometimes you do want him to be rougher about it, so you pull all the skills you’ve gained over the years. And Waylon is but a man, even with the scales and all, so he can’t resist you for very long. It always ends up with you writhing, face in the pillow that’s stained with your tears and drool or pleasure, as Waylon growls and snarls behind you, his big, clawed hands moving you back and forth with ease.

He always feels a bit guilty about it afterwards, especially seeing how much you leak all over the sheets. Expect to find yourself being pampered and loved on for the next couple of days. Even the bats seem to leave you to it, most likely having heard your cries. You get a feeling the people in the next building heard them too. But you honestly don’t care anymore.

You may have Waylon, and many others, wrapped around your finger, but so does Waylon with you. And neither of you really seem to mind anymore.

[legendofmorons]

hiya! i really like your writing! can i request reactions [from whomever you want] with a reader [platonic or romantic idc lol] who is like spiderman! like, has the sense and webs, and the workload of "who knows how they manage shit". i just think its a fun idea, cause they'd also be a "hero"

Of course you can! This is such a cool Idea! (Is there a hyrule where a spider person is the hero of courage? Maybe.)

Four

Take a nap

No, really, he tries to get you to sleep as often as possible

He'll try to enhance any weapons you may have

IF you have mechanical web shooters he will be very interested

If you have biological web shooters in your wrist from the mutation he's still curious

Can amd will try to improve your suit so you are safer

Is HORRIFIED by your workload

Don't you know about burn out??

Do you just not care?

Overall he's curious and a little overbearing

But he also understands that you're a hero, and as a hero, sometimes it doesn't matter if you're exhausted.

He'll insist you let him make you metal braces, so some of the work your joints face isn't so bad. (ESPECIALLY if your joints already hurt)

Hyrule

He is excited to learn about it!

He's also not like other people. He just has healing magic, you're a spider person

Neat!

Assuming you have the boosted healing factor that lost spider people seem to have he's relieved

He will always heal you, but it's nice that you don't need it as often

Also very worried about your work load

Always trying to get you to drink more water

If he were aware of more modern culture he'd yell 'hydrate or die-drate!'

Die-drate is not an option as far as he's concerned

Asks about the ability to stick to things. He's very interested in this

Legend

It depends on when he finds out.

He's definitely concerned no matter when you tell them though

If he's not warmed up to you yet he's kind of standoffish about it. If you share he listens bit he won't ask

If you Are close to him though he has SO many questions

How does it work?

What happened to give you these powers?

How much weight can you handle?

Have you always been so flexible?

No matter what your relationship is, if you tell him about the Spiderman upside down kiss thing, he goes RED

He also asks if you catch and eat bugs.

(What? He just knows that's what spiders do!)

He encourages ypu to take some things off your plate.

Sky

Probably the least phased?

He's curious of course

But his life has been so weird. He's met plant penguins, gopher people, and his best friend was a goddess

Asks if you're descended from a spider god

Also asks if you can turn into a spider

He also encourages you to take breaks and indulge in things that make you happy

He's happy to make anything that might help you, but with his skills, mostly in whittling, he's not sure it's that helpful.

He is excited to see you swing around, it's the closest most anyone can get to flying (aside from Sky and Wild)

Time

Immediately concerned

Powers?

Insane workload?

He gets it, mostly

Not entirely his life isn't like your's but he understands the weight power and workload hold

He is curious about your powers

Also very interested in the way your webs are made. Dosen’t matter if it's mechanical or biological

Will have you take to the tree tops when you guys ambush monsters

If you make a hamock/swing out of webs he'll be happy to keep you company

Twilight

Worried

He's not sure how to feel actually

He's curious about how you became a spider person

If he feels close to you he'll ask about it

He's glad you have enhanced healing though. He feels a little less worried

He's still worried you guys are hunting down a shadow

Will be easy to convince to race, you with your webs and him on Epona

Warriors

He is very sympathetic to your workload

He offers tips to help woth burnout

He helps you strategies to battle plans off your abilities

Wars is willing to spar with you so you can improve too

Please let him help with the self care of after the battle.

Probably asks about the effectiveness of webs as emergency bandages

Wild

He's not that phased either. He's met a semi-vengeful horse god

At least you aren't only worried about the safety of the horses

(Don't worry he takes excellent care of Epona and his own horses)

He'll ask about your adventures

He would be excited to have someone else capable of climbing!

He'll happily climb up steep cliffs with you (it can be a race he likes a challenge)

Wind

Excited

He also has a million questions

He wants to see what you can do!

He's happy to watch you swing around but he wants to come with!

Swing around with him and he's just thrilled!

He asks about ypur webs and if they could capture a monster if you strung them up like a real spider web

He also probably asks for stories about your adventures.

Was looking up some stuff about foxes and..

“foxes will groom each other, which helps reinforce social bonds and appears to provide pleasure to both parties. It has been suggested that a lack of grooming may induce social isolation and make an individual more likely to disperse come the autumn “

Now all i can imagine is before they start cuddling and nuzzling him tails is just naturally sad in the autumn like he’ll just be more quiet and lock himself away. Everyone has asked him about it at some point and he just genuinely dosen’t know, he cant figure out why and he doesn’t really ever suspect its a fox thing so he dosen’t look it up

Suddenly whenever he’s sad in the autumn he has someone that can come up and nuzzle him or show him physical affection and because this is something he deep down needed it all just starts to slowly go away. He doesn’t feel sad really, usually he has to wait out all of autumn but the nuzzling just takes it away.

It makes him want to ask for them to do it more but he’s too shy and nervous to ask

auugghb id bet it didn't use to be a thing when sonic and tails were first traveling together because sonic would have to help tails brush his fur

but as they got older and tails got a house and sonic kept running tails had to brush himself. because he couldn't expect sonic to come back just to help brush him

and that's when it starts. but he thinks it's just some lingering trauma so he doesn't bring it up and shrugs it off when people ask

so maybe one day sonic comes to visit tails because he misses his little brother and maybe he gets stuck for a few days due to weather or smthn. maybe he sees that tails' fur is tangled so he offers to brush it. a little call for nostalgia

tails let's him and then spends the next few hours trying to figure out why he's so happy all of the sudden when this is when that wave hits him. why is everything better now? is it because sonic's there? but it was still off.. then is it the brushing? how does that work???

he looks it up when sonic leaves. and then he keeps that information to himself, because if sonic knew then he would make the effort of coming over every time and he can't ask sonic to do that

[blahpanblah]

Okay so I’ve been working on a fic based on @mistercesare Role swap AU. And it made me think how Fiona and Cake would work in it.

I can imagine, with Scarab being more serious, would never EVER think of even making a in a unauthorized universe. But… all of the other universes seemed to bore him immensely. There’s nothing interesting about it. There’s barely good drama or angst to any of them. So… maybe just a little self-indulgent writing wouldn’t hurt anyone. Just putting a little angst/ no comfort there, some major character death here. AND… he made an unauthorized universe.

Oh this is very unallowed…

If someone finds out not only might he be removed as wishmaseter, but he would be seen as a hypocrite. The number one suck up to the rules breaks one will forever be tarnish on his record. He can’t have that! He’s has to hide it somewhere. UH! UH! OH! That crazy old ice guy in that one universe. He could put it in his mind. Then no one will find his fic!

So it would stay the same, but instead of being a gender swap of the OG world, it’s also just one big GOT universe, all inside Ice King’s mind. I feel like if there was ever an episode based on this, the whole thing would just be a parody of GOT, and you can chalk it up to IK not fully understanding the angst or anything. And that would make Scarab so pissed but he can’t say anything about it because then people will know he made it.

And he would even be more pissed once Ice king became Simon again. Now all of his progress is lost and gone forever. Imagine you’ve been working on a dark angst fic for years and all of sudden it’s get’s removed. I would be salty as hell.

I can see the Fionna and Cake world turning into the one we see in the show exactly. And I guess the whole lesson of the show would be less of “Escapism into your self-indulgent world all of the time is bad” And more, “You don’t and shouldn’t want to live in the world of your Angst fic.”

The funniest thing I could think of it that, I feel like Scarab would STILL be the villain of the show. Less because of, “I need to get rid of the unauthorized universe.” and more, “ANYONE WHO’S KNOWS OR IS APART OF MY FIC NEEDS TO DIE” Because he’s so worried that he’ll get in trouble with the people upstairs. And dosen’t want anyone to know.

And Prismo would still be helping them except more throughout, and also trying to calm Scarab down.

“Scrabby, I don’t think anyone cares about what you did, but you don’t have to go this far-!”

“NO, SHUT UP! I DON’T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT! I DIDN’T EVEN MAKE THIS! I’M JUST DOING YOUR JOB OF DESTROYING UNAUTHRIZED UNIVERES! SO SHUT UP.”

And scarab would be even more pissed that his Fantasy dark/angst fic got turned into a Modern Slice of life AU. Like all of that hard work wasted just so you can make candy cakes? Fuck off.

World Building Pt.4: Actual 'world' building

So obviously we know that most of the towns and cities in the shows don’t really exist. However, some of them have stated specific regions and states where they are set such as Mighty Med taking place in Philadelphia, PA. As for the others such as Swellview I did a little sleuthing to figure out roughly where each of these take place based on little things mentioned in canon and weather patterns.

The Lab Rats home of Mission Creek is another easy one because they at one point it is stated that it’s in California. I’m not stopping there though, personally I believe it takes place in SoCal near Orange County. Which given the climate it would make sense that the Bionic Island is just off the coast in Baja California. This would also mean that Tasha and Leo, assuming they arn’t transplants, would use SoCal slang. However, I don’t believe the trio would necessarily have Cali accents. Maybe Bree would to fit in more, but after living so long detached from society I believe that Adam having only really heard Donald for the longest time would share his accent for the most part and Chase probably dosen’t have a definable accent. He has a computer in his brain and access to every bit of slang/inflection that has ever been recorded. So he probably dosen’t speak with much of one. He might have picked up more Cali slang and gestures from his time with Leo, but I doubt he uses them unless specifically talking to Tasha or Leo. 

It isn’t ever brought up were Centium City resides, but based on the fact that it appears a lot colder and is the home town of both the Davenport brothers and Principle Perry. I believe that Centium City is in the state New Jersey. Perry has a lot of stereotypical qualities(I apologize to anyone from NJ, I’ve never been and all I have is media for examples) that kinda makes me think that she would be from there. Also could you please imagine Perry, Donald, and Douglas with Jersey accents. Incredible. I think that the brothers have probably lost a good bit of there accents from time away, but whenever they are near each other or are particularly emotional the accents come out in full force. Otherwise Donald probably dosen’t have a  very definable accent due to all his traveling and working with a wide array of people, and Douglas probably has nothing but different bits of mixed up slang due to his colorful environment.

Henry Danger/Danger Force were a bit difficult until I rewatched the Game Shakers x Henry Danger crossover special. While discussing places to go Kenzie brings up Swellview and states that its in ‘The Heart of America’. While many states can try to claim that they are the heart of the country, the only one that is usually agreed upon is Kansas. Climate wise it also makes sense as swellview has shown to be rather windy and Kansas in right within Tornado Alley. This means that Swellviews hilariously named neighboring towns also take place in Kansas. All the characters (with the exception of Schwoz) would also use more Kansan slang as all of them have stated to have lived in the area their whole lives. Which leads me to bring up Dystopia where the original Danger Crew moved to after S5. All we know about Dystopia is that its really dangerous and kinda nearby as Henry seems willing to get there without the use of Miles’s powers. Now for this I looked up where the most dangerous cities in America were and I’m so sorry Missouri but you guys have several cities in the top 10 list. It is also right next-door to Kansas. 

Like HD/DF the Thundermans home of Hiddenville doesn’t have a named state. It also appears to have a fairly neutral environment. Initially I was thinking of Tennessee but all things considered there’s a distinct lack of countryisms (I know not all Tennessee is county music and farm life but it still dosen’t quit fit). Then I was thinking Washington due to the ‘Land of 1,000 parks’ bit(According to google Seattle, WA has 874 parks), but theres a lack of mountain ranges. However, it’s the closest I’ve got to a real answer so I’m sticking to it until I find more evidence. Even if Hiddenville is in Washington, I don’t think any of the Thundermans(with maybe the exception of Chloe) would have any slang or dialect from there. The family transplanted more than likely from a different state to go into hiding. Given that Metroberg is basically the Capitol of all USA Supers, I think it would probably also be in Virginia nearby D.C. Meaning the family would have similar accents and mannerisms to Virginians. At least in the beginning, later on the kids probably adopt the slang of those nearby.

Finally Villains of Valley View. It’s already mentioned in the show that Valley View is in Texas, but like the Thundermans the Madden family is also transplanted and on the run/in hiding. While it’s never truly stated where they came from we can infer from some details. Eva has a very noticeable British accent so she probably moved to the US as a young adult. I don’t know what it is but for some reason Vic gives me NorCal vibes specifically Sacramento, CA. I have no clue why but he does. I imagine that after they unofficially wed(they couldn’t legally get married as wanted criminals) Vic and Eva moved to the Bay Area where they did some villainy and started their family. I don’t have a name for the town/city where they grew up yet, but I am absolutely accepting suggestions.

Revelations (Mari & MacCready)

Rating: G

Pairing: Pre relationship Mari/MacCready or MariCready as I've dubbed them.

Summary: MacCready and Mari share some time after clearing a building. Mari shares more about herself than expected.

Warnings: Canon typical filth, guns

Other: If I missed anything, please let me know

"You're gonna get us blown up." MacCready scoffs as he looks at the woman beside him.

"You worry too much, we just cleared the place." Mari says as she leans against the wall.

"I do not. I need to stay alive. You're welcome to get yourself killed if you want."

"Wow, I feel so loved, Mac."

MacCready just rolls his eyes. He's not got much to say to that.

So, he watches the door that separates the studio apartment-esque room they've holed up in.

He knows they cleared the place. But still.

He hears Mari light up a smoke, and as much as he's trying to quit he misses it sometimes. He's not going to begrudge her the vice though, she so rarely uses it.

"You know, I think I should redecorate my apartmen. This room is just soQ10 inspiring."

"There's a pee pudle in the corner." MacCready rolls his eyes as he turns to really look at her.

She laughs, cigarette held between her middle and pointer finger.

The light in the room is enough to see the amusement in her impossibly green eyes.

He's never seen that shade of green on anyone besides her twin.

"Yeah, I'm not that trashy." She says before taking another drag.

"Good." MacCready says.

He sets about cleaning his gun. They're safe. And really, if anyone shows up Mari will do something.

Because if he's honest (and this is totally objective), Mari is a badass that's taken down a super mutant with a few well placed slices. And the whole judo flipping a raider.

Clearing out a gunners' base by herself.

Yeah, he's fine. Mari seems to have some sort of honest care for him, as more than a hired gun.

Besides, they cleared the place themselves.

"You're overthinking again." Mari says as she snubs out the half smoked cigarette.

"You're wasting smokes."

"Yeah, maybe. But I've committed worse sin."

"You make it sound like there's a god out there that cares."

"There used to be." Mari says softly, getting that bittersweet tone she gets sometimes.

"Did you know that god?"

"No. But I remember learning about it. It's a nice thought."

"You must have grown up somewhere else."

"You'd never believe me of I told you."

"Try me." MacCready challenges.

Mari looks at him, and she has a funny expression on. Bitter amd nostalgic and trying to ignore both.

"I am from here." Mari says after a minute.

"That's not out of the ordinary. Lots of people live and die in one area."

"I'm from here, before the bombs. I grew up before the bombs hit, I remember the war that started it."

"Yeah? How did you even survive?"

"I was frozen. I was a military experiment put into cryo-freezr when I was seventeen."

"You're messing with me."

"If you say so." Mari says with a shrug.

After all, the only person she's told that believed her was Daisy. Though, Hancock at least pretend to.

"Ypu say that like you're being honest."

"Have I ever lied to you?" Mari challenges, turning her gaze back to him.

There is nothing but curiosity there.

MacCready rubs the back of his neck. He knows she hasn't lied to him. Yet. (Dosen’t everyone lie eventually?)

But he has to admit, as far fetched as it sounds it makes sense.

She sings songs he's only heard in the Capital Wastes.

She's got a softness in her heart that no one else has besides her twin.

And hell, she references things that only the ghouls seem to understand.

Maybe she's being honest.

"It's hard to believe. You gotta admit that."

Mari just gives that bittersweet smile again. She can't bring herself to respond.

She can't lie to MacCready about anything they're talked about so far. And she isn't starting now.

But she can't make someone believe something.

"Just- tell me something. If you're really from then, how are you so - good at this stuff?" MacCready asks.

Mari laughs softly. Of course he asks.

"I was a military experiment, they wanted to make immortal super soilders. They didn't have the stuff to make us immortal so they froze us."

"Really? They couldn't make you invincible?"

"You've seen me get thrown around like a rag doll and walk away from grenades with almost no injury. They got close."

"Do you miss it?" MacCready asks after a moment.

Because he's realized she isn't lying. She really does have some odd quirks that being from back then explains. She keeps eating utensils and almost always uses them.

She walks with perfect posture and her smile is entirely too charming for her own good.

Mari just shakes her head. "Sometimes. But I was taken from my family without warning when they started experimenting on me. So it wasn't a great last year there."

"Wow."

"Yeah... But hey, I'm a he'll of a shot so it's not like I'm in bad shape these days."

"Yeah." MacCready echoes.

"You know I've been thinking about recording some of the songs I know. They seem like they aren't really in circulation."

"You can sing?"

"Of course I can. I play piano too... though that's not nearly as helpful."

"Huh. You're all educated then?"

"Got my GED and everything."

"Your what?"

"General equivalency diploma. It's an alternative to a highschool diploma."

"Oh."

"You should let Teddy ramble about history or art. He's all English and art smart."

"That explains why he likes Publik Occurances."

Mari laughs again, shaking her head. "Yeah, that's why. It has nothing to do with Piper, like, at all."

"Oh shut up."

"You know I can't."

MacCready just breathes. He can admit he has a soft spot for Mari, but the way his heart squeezes when she gets cheeky with him is unhealthy.

He's probably just sick. Yeah.

When he looks back over, Mari is fiddling with an old pipboy she's had for a few weeks. She'd raided a vault outside the common wealth.

The green glow is familiar.

Diamond city radio turns on, and orange colored sky plays quietly.

Here are my main characters of my story ”Key of Dalntalai”. The story is this kind of sci fi/fantasy themed and traveling to another planets possibly. Everything in this story is in concept stage since i can’t settle to one idea. I’m working on the fauna and flora in these worlds, but i’m not smart enough to always have a reason for certain desings, so some of them might look like something because i think they look cool.

Alexandra is the main character in this story currently and at the moment all i can say that she is a magical being who has escaped from a bad organization and some bad people. Alexandras magic leans more to a elemental based magic and her specialty is water magic. She also can create corals possibly, but i don’t know if i will keep that idea. Alex is like 17 years old and acts like a little brat sometimes, she gets angry easily often and dosen’t always express how she feels like she should, but rather she kinda bottles her emotions and then lashes out uninteoninally. I think she would later realize maybe that she did something wrong and apologize for what she did or said. Alex can be nice and cares about the people close to her.

Alexandra is curious about learning new things and loves collecting cool or random stuff. She can also be very hyper active and has a lot of energy.

That’s all i remember to explain about her😌

Even though i draw Alex a lot, i still like to draw Nadja the most. Nadja is a magical being called ”Woodling”, they were inspired by nymphs from greek mythology, but i’ve tried to make some things about Woodlings little different. Woodlings are born when ”mother tree” takes a root in ground and becomes a ”mother of the forest”. (I will explain some day better about woodlings, but now back to Nadja).

Nadja is basically 300 year old woodling, she has hundreds or thousands of siblings so she is used to having people around her always. Nadja has bubbly and kind personality, she rarely wants to have any confrontantion with other people. Nadja is however good at magic and well learned, after all, she has had time to learn using magic for hundreds of years.

So, before i said that woodlings are born when mother trees take root in ground, well, because of that woodlings are not able to leave the forest for a long period of time, because the tree they are born from kinda is the thing keeping them alive. They can be far from the tree for like maybe… two weeks at most? I’m still working on how Nadjas species work. Getting to my point, so Nadja needs to have her tree with her if she want’s to go around the world, or even go to another world, well there is a way for that. Woodling can make a deal with a human or other magical being where they can grant humans some magical abilities, kinda like warlock gets magic from the deals they make. When they make a deal, the person gets woodling tree and carries it inside them, spiritually? So Nadja and Nick have made a deal, Nick gets a little magic and Nadja can go to adventures and travel.

(I will someday make a proper post explaining about woodlings.)

I don’t draw Nick as often as i would like to, i just haven’t fully figured them out.

Nick is kinda like wizard/warlock, like they have studied magic, but they got elemental based magick powers from Nadja. Nick loves reading about history and magic, they are learned in space and portal magic. Nick travels a lot with Nadja to defferent places, either to study historic sights and animals, or just go sightseeing?

Nick cares a lot about Nadja and later Alex too becomes important person to them. Nick is forgiving and patient and if there is argument, they can swallow their pride and apologize first.

Nick is 19 years old and lives with their grandma in manor? Mansion? Like the grandma is somewhat rich, she has a bussiness and earn money well with it, but she’s not like super rich. She inherited the mansion from her parents, but this post is not about her.

(That’s unfortunately i remember to tell about them, i will someday make better post about these three)

I had request for young justice request were the reader has the same magic as Zatanna and maybe he is stuck on some magic problem that he needs zatannas help and meets the team. Wally keeps trying to help because he falls for the reader but everyone is like I thought you didn’t believe in magic.

Being Zatanna’s cousin and needing help from the team + Wally falls for you…

Wally West x Male Reader

Warnings: superhero violence

Summary: You contact your cousin for help when you sense something is wrong and you meet a certain cute red head…

——

As you are meditating you feel a disturbance, a dark and evil force. It felt like something you needed to alert someone about so you stopped meditating and put on your costume and said ”tropelet em ot annataZ”.

Which made you vanish from your room and teleport in to a room inside a big cave, where you saw Zatanna (your cousin) standing around with a bunch of people in brightly colored costumes.

”Zatanna!” you said happily making the others jump a bit. You ran towards your cousin and gave her a hug. ”Y/n, your not supposed to be here” she said trying to sound stern but ended up still sounding like she was happy to see you.

”Zatanna, would you like to introduce us?” asked a blonde woman who was wearing fishnets. ”Of course Black Canary, this is my baby cousin, Y/n Zatara” she started but was interupted by you cutting in saying ”Your only a few months older than me, stop calling me your baby cousin”.

Zatanna ignored you and continued ”Y/n, this is my team and her over there, that’s Black Canary, she trains us in hand to hand combat”. They all gave you a polite wave or a small hi. Zatanna then asked ”So, what are you doing here?”.

”I was meditating and i felt something not quite right. Something ominous, evil and also kind of annoying, i was hoping you’d be able to help me figure out was going on” you informed her.

”My guess would be it has something to do with a user of dark magic, which is never a good sign” Zatanna suggested. She then turned to Black Canary and asked ”May i be excused from training so we can get to the bottom of this”.

”Of course” Canary said in a understanding manner. As you and Zatanna turned to leave you whispered to her saying ”She seems really cool”. ”She is” Zatanna answered simply. As you walked away you heard one of Zatanna’s teamates say ”Wait, is it okay if i go with them? i’d like to learn some more about magic”.

To you this seemed like a totally normal request but the others looked at the guy in the yellow suit as if he’d been hit in the head with a rock. ”You? Want to learn about magic?” a blonde girl in a green suit asked in complete disbeleif.

”Yeah” the guy in the yellow suit answered as if it wasn’t a big deal. You not knowing any better said ”Sure, come along” and the guy in the yellow suit was by your side in less than a second… literally.

”I’m Wally by the way, Wally West aka Kid Flash” he introduced himself while grabbing your hand in a flirty and romantic way. You turned to Zatanna and asked quietly ”He’s the desperate one you told me about right?”. ”Yup” Zatanna answered.

You, Zatanna and Wally went in to her room to get some things for a spell to figure out what was happening. ”So Wally, what made you wanna learn more about magic?” you asked. ”Oh you know always thought magic was really cool since i was a kid” he answered only for Zatanna to say loudly from across the room ”Lies”.

When Zatanna had gotten her stuff she handed you a piece of chalk that you then used to draw up a circle big enough for the two of you. You and Zatanna sat down crossed legged in the circle, closed your eyes and started whispering an incantation. Meanwhile Wally sat on Zatanna’s bed staring at you.

He then noticed that the circle around you and Zatanna had started glowing yellow and the two of you were now floating in the air. While watching Wally had to remind himself that he dosen’t believe in magic.

The two of you then floated down to the exact spots on the floor where you had been sitting and the ring around you stopped glowing. ”What did you find?” Wally asked you and Zatanna.

”She was right it’s a dark magic user, it’s Felix Faust, he’s gonna try to steal the amulet of Eris, which i can’t let happen” you informed him. ”We can’t let happen” Zatanna corrected. ”I’m not letting you go alone” she said. ”Wait? Slow down, who is Eris and why does he want their amulet” Wally asked confused.

”Eris is the greek goddess of discord, the amulet of Eris is a powerful magic object that will enhance the powers of the user but also corrupt their mind” you explained to Wally. ”Well then, let’s get the team and make sure that it dosen’t fall in to Faust’s hands” Wally stated and ran out of the room to get the team.

”He’s kinda cute” you stated while Wally was gone making Zatanna look at you as if you were dumb.

When Wally came back he had brought the rest of the team. You and Zatanna informed them about the situation and they were glad to help. They took you to Miss Martian’s bioship and you gave them directions to Eris hidden temple where the amulet was kept.

”Why would the greek goddess Eris have a temple in the middle of the US?” Robin asked. ”She’s the goddess of discord and strife… i feel like the rest explains itself” you told him. The team landed the ship next to a big cliff and you all stepped outside.

You whispered an incantation and the cliff wall opened a made a path for you and the team to go in to. ”Come on if Faust isn’t here yet we have time to set up a defence” you said and started walking towards the enterance.

But you saw someone leaving the enterance and walking towards you. ”Fuck” you cursed quietly as you saw Faust leaving the temple with the amulet of Eris around his neck.

”Felix fucking Faust… pleasure to see you” you said bitterly. ”Aaa Zatara and… girl Zatara… and others” he said as if you guys being there was a small inconvenience. ”I suggest you hand back the amulet Faust, it dosen’t go with your outfit” you sassed against the man.

”I’m tired of you and insolence” Faust said simply. ”Just like i’m tired of those dusty robes of yours” you continued to insult the man. The man exhaled deeply and raised his hans and shot a purple blast towards you and the team. ”dleihS” you recited which created a magic shield to protect you and the team.

The team and you attacked Faust but the amulet had enhanced his powers so he was better prepared for fighting a whole team.

It wasn’t easy but you and the others managed to pull through and defeat Felix Faust, Wally had used his speed to steal back the amulet which made Faust easier to defeat.

You and Wally went inside the temple to return the amulet and as you were placing it back to where it had been Wally had spotted something shiny on the floor and gone to pick it up.

When you turned back around you saw Wally standing infront of you with his hands behind his back. ”I found something you could take with you home as a souvenir” Wally said. ”Wally, i don’t think Eris would appreciate us taking things from her temple” you told him.

Wally then brought his hands forward and presented you with a golden apple that said ”For the fairest”. ”But it could only belong to you” he said romantically. You let out a small giggle. ”That’s very sweet of you Wally” you said and took the apple.

(Eris watching from Olympus: OMG this is so cute.)

”I guess this is my way of asking you out on a date” Wally then stated. ”I’d love to but then you to answer this question honestly” you challenged. ”Yeah, sure” he answered simply.

”Artemis and Zatanna say you don’t believe in magic is that true?” you asked. ”Magic is just science we don’t understand yet” he said in return. ”No it’s not” ”Yes it is” ”It’s really not” ”It really is”…

[shinobusupremecy]

Having the time of my life rn defending acc that ship harmless kny ships. I’m not talking about TaneKana or Obamitsu obviously I’m talking about the rare ships I think they’re called. For an example Shinomitsu, Uzuren, Genmui etc. People get so damn mad it’s funny. In all seriousness I hate it when I see people getting attacked just because they make a video about the ships they like.

It pisses me off at how unaccepting the kny fandom is of harmless rarepairs like these. 

Also sorry if I offend anyone by this post but I feel like this needs to be said. Maybe wrong platform to say all of this on since most of this bs happens on tiktok but y’know. 

This is ONLY for the people that send hate to people bc they ship harmless and legal ships. If you don’t do that, good. 

First of all, what’s the damn problem because I can’t see it. It’s not an illegal ship. It’s not a toxic ship. So what’s the problem? 

We can take Sanemi x Giyu. That’s not a toxic ship, Sanemi and Giyu managed to fix their relationship with each other when the war ended. One legal but toxic ship would be Obanai x Giyu. Obanai hates Giyu with his whole being, it would just simply not work between them. Obani would never fix the relationship he has with Giyu but Sanemi would and he did. 

”The ship dosen’t make sense” Alright😐. And how do they not make sense? Give me at least some reasons. That small statement ain’t cutting it. 

Second of all. Scroll or just don’t say anything at all, it’s that easy. You really don’t have to complain on every damn video you see. Just know that the more you comment the more content like those you’ll see so your plan or whatever backfires.  Also if you don’t comment you save yourself from embarrassment. But keep your comment to yourself, no one wants to hear you complaining. Your opinion lays no weight on the other persons opinon, you’re just wasting your time. 

Third of all. I don’t see you insulting illegal ship posts. They are there, just do some digging and you will find them. Some ships are getting more hate than illegal ships and that is just wow, the lack of logic. ShinoGiyu is an example of  that. That ship is legal and harmless and yet it still gets more hate than the illegal ones like Giyu x Tanjiro or Zenitsu x Tengen. The logic is non-existant. 

Then the thing is that the ship’s are fictional. Yeah omg you get mad over fictional ships. I guess that is kinda hypocritical since I wrote this whole text over fictional ships but it’s just to educate you people. 

Lastly I do not ship all of those rarepairs but you don’t see me whining and throwing a temper tantrum about it. The ones I do ship is at least ShinoMitsu, honestly I don’t care much for the others. ShinoMitsu has my heart and my full attention.

-

I’m defending my ship because I can already guess what some of y’all are thinking. If you still wanna argue pm me or go into my inbox ONLY. Do it off anon if you dare. Don’t comment or reblog this just to throw beef. I’m not up for that.

”They’re just friends!” Have you heard about friends to lovers?

”I see them as….” Yeah, YOU DO not ME so zip it.

”Mitsuri married Obani!” Mitsuri has two hands, she can hold them both. They can just pull a Tengen card and go poly.

”But ObaMitsu is canon!” Who said I have to ship canon ships? Chill I ship them both.

”Mitsuri doesn’t love Shinobu” It’s stated in the taisho secret that Mitsui is interested in all of the pillars.

”Mitsuri and Shinobu don’t even interact” They have a whole ass light novel chapter, it’s canon in the taisho secret that they are close friends and talk to each other alot. Even being so comfortable with each other that they open up to their own problems and insecurities.

If you wanna argue, inbox (off anon if you dare) or pm ONLY. Commenting and rebloging just to argue will not do.

👽💄😬😭👗🪢🦾 Quackity

Hi ghostie hope you’re well <3

👽 a funny quirk: Quackity has a really cute sneeze that’s a lot like a squeak. He tries to hide it because it doesn’t fit with the image he’s trying to project. Unfortunately he’s allergic to both cats and Ender hybrids for some reason. This led to him sneezing sometimes when he was torturing Dream. Dream made the mistake of laughing once and it earned him a scar over his nose.

💄appearance headcannon: Quackity is still very handsome even with his scar and he uses this to his advantage, however he hates looking in the mirror. It makes him sick to see his scar and often he can’t recognize his own face. He looks like a stranger.

👗 how they dress: Quackity dresses very very well. He has an image to keep up! He always keeps a little green ribbon around his wrist. It used to be Charlie’s tie.

😬 the worst thing he’s ever done: Quackity lashed out at Dream once in the prison. He can’t even remember why. Maybe Dream said something or scared him. Quackity just knows that he got so angry he just attacked Dream with his axe screaming and swearing and cutting. Not to get information, just to cause as much pain as possible. He almost hacked Dream’s entire leg off and Sam had to physically pull him away and pin him down to keep him from going after Dream. Quackity was soaked in blood and Dream almost died. It took over twenty health pots to save Dream. Quackity would have killed him if Sam hadn’t stepped in.

😭 the worst thing that ever happened to him: losing his wings. He and Schlatt got in a fight, a really really bad one. Schlatt was blackout drunk and Quackity pushed him away hitting him with his wings in the process. Schlatt got angry, pinned him down and clipped his wings. He used a pocketknife to do it and did a terrible job hitting several blood feathers as he cut. Quackity almost bleed out and even through he lived he was never able to fly again. Schlatt made a big show of feeling bad about it when he got sober so the first few nights where comfortable at least.

🧬 A family headcannon: Quackity dosen’t talk about his family ever. If asked he just says they all died a long time ago. He did consider the Manberg cabinet his “flock” for the longest time however. He still considers Fundy and Tubbo a part of his flock but he never admit it.

🦾Disability headcannon: Quackity has hearing loss from Wilbur blowing up La Manebrg. He mishears a lot and sometimes when it’s really bad he’s forced to read peoples lips.

I saw this post and it made me so proud of Louis and how he is proud of his roots and how he still connects with them. His personality isn’t one dimensional and that’s why I’m sometimes a bit disappointed by Louis Tomlinson TM. There is nothing wrong with watching football, being with your friends at the pub and drinking beer, no embrace it when it makes you happy but in his interviews there is sometimes such an exaggeration of this part of his personality. More like in combination with him saying he only eats fast food and doesn’t do any sport. We all know that isn’t true and I truly don’t understand why they keep pushing this as part of his image.

When I was still in school (pre covid) I was always walking to school and back home and with a little bit dancing at home this was basically my workout (I don’t count school sport). But when the pandemic begun and I wasn’t doing my daily walks anymore I noticed how my fitness decreased. So when Louis is saying he dosen’t any sport and only eating fast food it’s utterly bullshit bc looking at him and his body (yes good genetics could be a reason why he’s not gaining much weight but they don’t have anything to do with his fitness), he wouldn’t be able of winning races against people who seem to be much fitter than him and especially taller than him.

That’s why I love interviews when he get to see other sides of his personality, e.g when he said he doesn’t cry much, but isn’t afraid doing it. But when you watch multiple interviews and then main thing of himself, which is getting stuck in peoples brain, is his drinking, watching football side it’s not a super good thing for Louis Tomlinson TM. Especially his comment about being trashy and going anywhere near wine I just ask myself why, it’s okay to not like wine or Prosecco but why is he calling himself trashy? That quote definitely sounds like the 17 year old boys from my school who wanted to be so cool and "manly" (don’t how describe the word we have for that in my language in english)

I’m all for Louis being proud of where he comes from and definitely should loose it, it makes me proud seeing it, but I also want to see more of his smart Brain and other parts of his personality in Louis Tomlinson TM

Thank you for sharing <3 I agree with you. Although I feel like sometimes it’s hard to take him seriously when he portrays that subculture because he’s been a millionaire for ten years now and nothing is going to change that. I like that he’s proud of being British and he seems to be somewhat class conscious which is a trait I like about him. But I feel like he portrays such a caricature of the working class that it sounds a bit insulting at times, working class people are not trashy, working class people would rather eat in a good restaurant than eat microwaved meals, etc. So it could feel like a slap in the face to hear a millionaire say the things louis says. But maybe it’s just me 🙈

Like you say sometimes it’s very exaggerated and unfortunately some fans truly believe all that he says so they also end up treating him like a one dimensional person. Remember how new fans made him disliking avocado his whole personality? It was so annoying and it must have been for him too.

How to get adopted in ten steps (or less!) - Part three

Pairing: Chain & oc

Rating : G

Summary: Myrah takes time to reassure Wild and Legend separately, and for better or worse she shares some tea with the latter. Legend still doesn't kn ow what to make of the woman and it bothers him.

Warnings: spying,

Other: For lack of any canon material to help I've made certain words for the Gerudo language, 'Kiventa' is equivalent to 'dear one' or 'darling' used for friends, family, and lovers alike.

-------

Legend doesn't trust strangers. He sure as he'll dosen’t trust Myrah who claims to he over a centuries old despite looking maybe twenty.

So, obviously, snooping is the answer. With all the others in their rooms for the night Legend goes to see what Myrah and Wild are talking about in her house during the nights.

Settled outside the open window, Legend watches and listens.

"How many times do I have to tell you that you're more than just your destiny? When will you believe me?" Myrah asks, sitting at the kitchen table with a tired expression.

Wild shakes his head, firelight from the fireplace on the back wall dances across his feature. "I'm the chosen Hero."

"No. You're Link. You are a stubborn boy with a good heart."

"Myrah." Wild says, his own voice tired.

"Look, do you have the hero's spirit? Yes. Are you the best cook I've ever known? Also yes."

"Myrah I don't even remember my family. I'm just the hero."

Myrah pulls the most exhausted disappointed look Legend has seen on anyone except Time. And honestly- this comes pretty close.

"Link, if I could actually shake sense into you I would."

"Thanks. I feel the love."

"Good, because I do love you. But you're the most stubborn person I've ever known."

"That tracks."

"You are more than just Hylia's hero. You're a great cook, a good archer, a hell of a friend, and one of the most genuinely kind people I've ever met."

"Thanks." Wild says, ducking his head away from Myrah. His own heart swelling at the ride.

Legend - He may not feel trusting or even hopeful about Myrah, but he can appreciate the way she speaks to Wild. The soft affirmation is always welcome to the others.

"Anytime. You know I'm always here for you."

"I know... But don't you miss him?"

"Who?"

"Who I used to be?"

"Yes and no." Myrah says with a sad smile, "I miss him because I grew up with him. But I lost you to being a knight too. You're more like the boy I grew up with than he was."

Wild looks up, eyes widening and a surprised sound leaving his throat. "I am?"

"You are."

"How?"

"We used to chase frogs and fish in the stream... You know you're the one who taught me to make a grass whistle first?"

"Oh."

"I wish I could get the others to understand that they're more than just the chosen heroes too."

Legend nearly chokes. This woman is something else.

"You know they won't. "

"They might... It'll take a lot but there's was a time not too long ago I thought all I could ever be was a warrior, a weapon."

"You know that's not true.

"I didn't used to."

"Myrah," Wild starts, only to fall silent. What does he even say.

"The weight each of you puts on your own shoulders rivals that of your destiny. You all bear too much shame and guilt."

"I know."

"I hope you do."

Myrah turns her gaze to the window Legend is spying into, and she holds his gaze. Silent as she stares right back.

She saw him. Oh Wild is gonna be so mad. This is-

Myrah turns her gaze away, back to Wild.

Maybe she didn't see Legnd? That would be good.

"Go rest, you look exhausted, kiventa."

Wild just nods, standing with little else in response as he goes to the guest bedroom. Though based on watching the two Legend would guess the guest bedroom is really just Wild's.

Legend has no clue what the foreign word means, but it sounds gentle enough.

After Wild shuts the door Myrah stands, walking towards her stove and starting the kettle.

Without even looking to him again she says, "You can come out, Legend."

"What-"

"I admire how much you care for them." She says, "I'm happy to answer your questions. "

"Aren't you mad?"

"No. I'm not blind to the intimidation I exude. I don't try to be scary but many think I am."

"I- what?"

"Come inside it's going to be cold outside soon."

Legend would argue, or go back to the inn. But he can't ignore his curiosity about the woman. She's ridiculously tall, her hair is something like fire the way it fades from red to blonde.

Her eyes are like actual gold.

And supposedly she's older than Wild.

So he caves, choosing not to sneak back into the room he shares with Warriors.

He goes around the house and comes through the door.

She's pulled down two mugs, "I hope you like mint tea."

"Mint- isn't that the best way to hide a sleep potion?"

"I'm not going to do that, you're welcome to watch me make them."

Legend dosen’t trust her. But she also hasn't lied out right yet either.

He dosen’t really wanna piss off the seven-foot-fuck-off tall woman who was trained to be a warrior.

"I believe you." He says.

Myrah throws a smile over her shoulder at him, "You're smart to be cautious. Not everyone is good."

"That's not reassuring."

"I guess not. Tell me, what was your time like?"

"A lot of woods. People were nice enough."

"Hm, sounds pretty."

"Yeah."

"You don't trust people often, do you?" Myrah asks as she starts putting tea leaves in a holder before dropping one into each mug.

"Why should I? You said it yourself, a lot of people aren't good."

Myrah laughs, warm and bright and soft all at once. "A lot of people are good. A lot of people aren't..."

"Obviously. What are you, a glass half full person?"

"No. I'm more of a knock the glass over and choose last second kind of person."

"That makes no sense."

"I've been told that a lot."

"Wind is pretty fond of you. Why?"

Myrah pours the boiling water into the mugs as she answers, not missing a beat. "It might be that I don't treat him like a kid. A lot of people do, if I were to guess."

"We don't-"

"You all protect him most. Don't think I didn't notice how you all tried to stay between me and Wind the first time."

'You-"

"I've lived a long time, but before everything happened I was supposed to be a royal knight- to protect the princess with Link. I know what it looks like to keep someone away."

"You're something else."

"I'll take that as a compliment."

"I don't mean it as one."

"That's okay. I've lived to long to care what the youth think of me anyways."

"You do know you look like- maybe twenty. Right?"

"I know."

"Okay then."

Myrah sets out creamer and sugar before bringing the cups older. She seems unbothered by legend. His words and presence almost seem of no consequence to her.

Once he's pulled a mug towards him and added a lot of sugar, he looks at her.

"You know we don't trust you. Don't you?"

"Of course I do."

"Then why do you keep trying to be nice to us?"

Myrah lets out a slow breath, and she meets Legend's eyes slowly. When she speaks she's quieter and more unsteady. "You have all taken in Wild... I- I will always take care of those Wild cares for. He's my family, which means his family is worth taking care of."

"That's-"

"Probably silly?" Myrah suggests, forcing a smile, 'I know."

"You really care about us just cause Wild does?"

"Yeah... I do. And I'm thankful to you all for looking out for him. He's always been reckless with his own life. He never understood how much he meant to others."

"You don't say."

She sits, looking a lot less lively than usual. Something is obviously bothering her.

Legend can't bring himself to ask though.

"You know, I meant what I said to Wild... You all carry far more than you need to."

He blinks, a little startled that she wasn't just saying it for Wild's sake.

"Maybe."

"The fact that you've all defeated Ganon- more than once for some of you... It really is miraculous. "

"It's our job."

"I know. But trust me, not many people would try to fight if you didn't. "

"I guess you'd know."

She just smiles, something almost vicious lights in her eyes. "I do."

Legend can't stand this, so he figures he might as well just ask her what in the name of Hylia she wants from them.

She probably won't kill him.

"Okay, seriously... What do you want from us? "

"To help. As much as I can. I don't necessarily know what you're chasing, or your pasts.... But I do know you are all lacking your flame."

"You know about that?"

"I am one. Other wise I'm pretty sure I'd have died several times over the years."

"So you just want to help? Out of the goodness of your heart?"

Legend knows how sparky he sounds.

"Yes. But if I'm being honest, part of it is to keep Wild safe. But I'd also help you guys anyways."

"That's real stupid."

"I don't expect any of you to suddenly trust me. But I hope you fan believe me when I tell you that I am going with you."

Myrah's eyes are hardened as she says that. Her voice steady and stern. She sounds so sure- and she's just unknown enough Legend can't fund it in himself to call her bluff.

He doesn't know who in their right mind woud want to join the chosen heroes but whatever.

"I'm sure you are."

She just laughs, shaking her head as her stern face falls.

She sips some more of her tea, seeming to relax just a little.

Legend finally give in and tries the tea. It's minty, but not too strong. It's soothing and almost like a hug from someone long gone.

"What blend is this?" Legend asks, putting aside his pride in the interest if tea that might actually help soothe the nerves of the group.

Myrah smiles, setting her mug down gently. "I never did get a solid name for it, but Wild's mom taught me."

"His mother?"

"Yes. She was a remarkable woman."

"It's hard to believe you're old. You seem so young."

"I try to be, it's real weird when someone who looks twenty acts super old."

"Yeah..."

"I'm happy to teach you the tea blend. There are others you might like- though I've never had the magic skill that Thea and my mom had."

"Thea?"

"Right. Sorry. Thea is Alethea, Wild's mom."

"She had a skill for magic?"

"Most oracles do. You might actually be able to recreate her recipes, you and Hyrule both seem magically inclined."

"Huh. I mean, maybe."

"I have to go to my nephew's house tomorrow, you're all welcome to come."

"I thought you only had a niece. Where does-"

"Adopted family." Myrah says with a smile.

Legend notices the slight strain in her voice, barley there. Itself not quite true, close. She's good. Real good.

"Sure."

"You'll understand when you see them." She says, obviously aware she'd been caught."

"Maybe."

Ok, here we go. Dark!Bianca idea. Shortly after the events in the desert, a severely injured Bianca is found by agents of the Titans who were shadowing the quest party off-page. She is brought back to Titan HQ and is convinced to join their crusade against the gods while her friends and family think she's dead. Jump ahead to BotL, instead of Kelli the Empousa, it is a mysterious masked assassin who attacks Percy and Rachel at Goode. The events mostly play out unchanged until Geryon's (1/8)

ranch, where instead of Bianca, it is the ghost of Maria di Angelo who is revealed to be sending Iris messages to Percy about Nico, while also strongly hinting that Bianca's still alive. Jump ahead to Mt St. Helens, Percy fights the assassin again, and during his stint on Ogygia, Percy begins to put two and two together after the assassin demonstrated skills similar to the Hunters. At Antaeus' Arena, the assassin is finally unmasked to reveal a still-alive but scarred Bianca, replacing (2/8)

Ethan Nakamura as the demigod enforcer. Percy is convinced that Bianca is being mind-controlled and goes to Mt Tam to rescue her as well as stop Kronos. However, when he confronts her, Bianca reveals that she's operating of her own free will, feeling vengeful against the gods for robbing her of her life and having pledged her loyalty to her new Titan master. Kronos intends to make Bianca the prophesy kid, promising her the free will she craves so badly as well as promising not to hurt (3/8)

Nico. Going into the Last Olympian, Percy and Nico are both determined to convince Bianca that she's making a mistake, and this time Nico's duplicity is not to simply learn about his mother but to try and summon her spirit to get through to Bianca. At the same time, Kronos gradually starts treating Bianca as less of an ally and more of a tool, and the Titans' actions cause her to have doubts even though she dosen't know what else to do. It all comes to a head in the final battle.(4/8)

Nico returns from the Underworld by himself early, giving Hades an ultimatum to come and fight or hide. Just before the final attack, Kronos sends Bianca to infiltrate Olympus to disable the magic defenses, but Nico arrives to intercept her and make one last bid to save her. They fight, with both begging the other to stand down even as they slug it out. Finally, just as Percy arrives to chase Kronos, the battered siblings' duel ends when Nico gives another ultimatum. He throws down his (5/8)

sword and gives Bianca, now reduced to fear and frustration-induced tears, the choice between perusing her grudge and allowing herself to continue being Kronos’s slave or doing the right thing. Finally able to make a legitimate choice of her own, Bianca chooses to turn her back on the Titans. She still ends up wounded, but unlike Ethan in canon, Nico manages to save his sister while Percy and Kronos have their final battle. After everything ends, Percy petitions for Bianca’s pardon along (6/8)

with the rest of his list, though Bianca turns it down, realizing the harm she almost caused to the person she loved more than anybody else. She is given a reduced sentence in service to her father, and though she does not properly forgive any of the gods that hurt her, she does recognize that the spite and anger she felt would only lead to more death. Nico gets to visit her occasionally, and she starts a road to redemption that Luke never got the chance to take. In HoO, Bianca is (7/8)

more of a background character, but it is she that finds Hazel in Asphodel and alerts Nico to her. Overall, dark!Bianca is an anti-villain who’s affiliation with Kronos is clearly drawn from her pain and grief over the gods’ interference in her life, but her saving grace is her brother. Nico manages to pull her out of the darkness and save her from becoming the same monster Luke became. What do you think? (bear in mind, this is my rough draft) (8/8)

Okay, WOW. Anon, I am actually going to start a petition to make you the new Percy Jackson author because that was such an interesting plot to read.

First of all, I love that you replaced Bianca with Ethan. As interesting as he was in the series, and as much as I loved his character, after reading through your rough draft, I feel like Bianca would have been a much better character to use throughout PJO. Her arc could have been expanded upon and completed thoroughly, and it could have made a lot of sense. Ethan felt more like a representation of "demigods turned to the other side," which I get is the point, but I loved the way you used Bianca because with your plot, her character could have been used so well to properly show how easily the Titan army manipulated kids.

Furthermore, I feel like your plot with Bianca could have been a much better way to use her character throughout the series. From my interpretation, in canon she seemed more like a stand-in tool just to enhance Nico's own character arc and his motives, but your plot for her would have actually given her some kind of foundation and an actual arc for her to go through. You've given her such an interesting character and I think it really provides more justice to what she could have been.

I also love the way that not only did you give her a better arc, but you also enhanced Nico's own arc and the plot, too. Her death in the books seemed more symbolic to him and a turning point in his character, but with her character in your AU, it's both important to Nico and Bianca. You've given her an actual character, and you've set up such an interesting conflict between Nico and Bianca.

Additionally, I love the divide you've created between them. I think that - based on what we know about her in the books - as much as she loves her brother, Bianca also feels very limited with him because of how she's been forced to grow up and be his savior. She understands that he's only a child, though, which I think could also play into her own hatred for the gods - they've not only destroyed her family, but now they're forcing her to take the role of an adult when she's a mere child, too? She was never angry at Nico - she was only ever mad with the gods.

Maybe that's something that Nico also feels bad about, and maybe he tells her about it when they're standing each other down. Maybe she lets him know that she never hated him or felt that he was bringing her down.

Also, I want to add that I adore the way you put them on opposite sides. It sets up such an interesting dynamic to their relationship because here you have two people who love each other so much, but they're on two different sides of a large war. They're both too stubborn to go onto each other's sides, and Nico knows Bianca's only going to get herself into more danger. I just love the potential that has for both of their characters.

I know Percy had a large fear about Nico being another kid to join Kronos' army, so I bet Bianca being on his team would have left Percy incredibly terrified for Nico, too, because he knew how much Nico loved Bianca. Would he have been nervous for Nico's ability to change his mind? Nico knows he'd never join Kronos, but would Percy have known?

And, knowing that Bianca's now on the Kronos side, how would Percy react? Because he felt pretty guilty about her death in TTC, right? Would he feel guilty that she's on the other side now, too? Would he try to reason with her, only to push her further away? I'd love to see how Percy would deal with knowing that Bianca - an important child of the Big Three - would react to her being there. He was already nervous about Nico joining sides, but having Bianca there would have really scared him.

And the part about Bianca finding Hazel instead of Nico? That was mind-blowing. I love everything about that situation because now that introduces Hazel into the narrative of Nico and Bianca's story. My question for you would be how does Hazel's character change now? How does she fit in with Nico and Bianca? Because in Heroes of Olympus she's clearly very insecure about her relationship with Nico and how he views her, but if she actually knew Bianca, how would she feel? Would she feel more left out (knowing that Bianca and Nico have known each other much longer and have a stronger connection with each other)? Would she be distrustful? And how would the three of them adapt to this additional family member? I have high hopes that by the end they would all love each other very much, but I'm just really curious into how Hazel's addition would influence the dynamic of all three.

And, essentially, it all ends into a somewhat win-win situation. Bianca's still living; Nico's got two new sisters; Hazel now has a new family.

I think this is such an interesting concept, and I'd love to read it. If you ever post it anywhere, please do share the link! This was such an intriguing plot to go through and, again, I think this could have been a much better use of Bianca's character.

Thank you so much for sharing it with me.

A look at Dream's punishment through irl rules and taking into account UN's rules regarding prisons. Because it is just interesting and it proves how there is NO justification for it. But mostly because it's interesting to look at and you may learn a thing or two.

I have seen too many times people trying to justify Dream's punishment. I did research and read through multiple articles and documents (over 73 pages of two different documents) about the more legal sides of his punishment. While Quackity's physical torture is obvious, I am here to address that even before that it was still very illegal. I know it is fictional! This is just a look into the real life facts and rules regarding prisons because it is interesting to look at Dream's punishment and Pandora's Vault under the light of these. So keep that in mind while reading this!

Welcome to my ted talk with actual facts and be prepared for quite the ride!

While yes, he has done bad things...however he has not done something so bad that he deserves a punishment so cruel that it's considered too inhumane for even mass murderers. Like actually! Stay tooned and you'll see what I mean.

His sentence is indefinite solidary confinement. Which is defined by the united nations as:

"the confinement of prisoners for 22 hours or more a day without meaningful human contact."

This means his punishment fits the definition for all his time (including visits) except when Tommy was locked inn and now with Quackity (although I'd consider the last one a turn for the worse). Now that we have that cleared up- lets get into the rule breaking. But first, let me introduce you to The Mandela Rules!

"The Mandela Rules reinforce human rights principles, including

 the recognition of the absolute prohibition of torture and other cruel, inhuman

 or degrading treatment or punishment and effective guidance 

to national prison administrations for persons deprived of their liberty"

Now that we have established that, lets get into this concerning fact train!

Rule 43

1. In no circumstances may restrictions or disciplinary sanctions amount to torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.

The following practices, in particular, shall be prohibited:

(a) Indefinite solitary confinement;

(b) Prolonged solitary confinement;

(c) Placement of a prisoner in a dark or constantly lit cell;

(d) Corporal punishment or the reduction of a prisoner’s diet or drinking water;

(e) Collective punishment.

Yeah...pretty clear breaking of 4/5 there. They can't even break e! Not to mention the pretty explicit breaking of d that was probably a surprise. You can count it as them breaking 4/4 if you count the fact that they can’t even break e. Rest assured my friend, this is just the beginning.

Rule 44

For the purpose of these rules, solitary confinement shall refer to the confinement of prisoners for 22

 hours or more a day without meaningful human contact. Prolonged solitary confinement shall refer to 

solitary confinement for a time period in excess of 15 consecutive days.

Already broken this one too huh. Even visiting days counts because I don't think anyone has been there for hours and I also don't think Sam's interactions would be long enough or count as meaningful human contact. The time with Tommy and Quackity is the only time it dosen't count as solidary. So this is getting...very much concerinng. But this is still only the start.

Rule 45

1. Solitary confinement shall be used only in exceptional cases as a last

 resort*, for as* short a time as possible and subject to independent

 review, and only pursuant to the authorization by a competent authority. It

 shall not be imposed by virtue of a prisoner’s sentence.

2. The imposition of solitary confinement should be prohibited in the case

 of prisoners with mental or physical disabilities when their conditions

 would be exacerbated by such measures

Woops...so not only is it illegal as a punishment...but also the "he is a psychopath" argument (which is already a bad stereotype, but I won't get into psychology here. It's a common misconception and c!Tommy not knowing is almost to be expected. However please do not say that someone, character or real person, have a mental disorder or illness without proper knowledge about psychology and in the case of characters we shouldn’t put labels unless the writer has said that they have taken mental disorders or illnesses into account when making the character) just got yeeted out the window. Actually that argument just took a loop and now is an argument for the other side. It makes sense because as it says: it exacerbates their preexisting mental illnesses. Which is why it's prohibited. 

"In no case may a detainee’s contact with the outside world be

 dependent on his or her cooperativeness, be used as a disciplinary

 sanction or form part of the sentence."

  - Special Rapporteur on Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, Civil and Political Rights, Including the Questions of Torture and Detention, ¶ 43, Comm’n on Human Rights,

“…The medical officer should visit prisoners held in solitary confinement

 every day, on the understanding that such visits should be in the interests

 of the prisoners ’ health. Furthermore, prisoners held in solitary

 confinement for more than 12 hours should have access to fresh air for at

 least 1 hour each day” - Subcomm. on Prevention of Torture [SPT]

Wow Sam...it is almost impressive in a dark way just how explicitly these are broken. The Warden's very punishments for disobedience just straight up counts as torture. And for the obvious record I highly doubt Quackity's daily visits to the green bloob counts as anything but 'the interests of the prisoners' health'. You can disagree here...but I am being very sarcastic.

Rule 22

1. Every prisoner shall be provided by the prison administration at the

usual hours with food of nutritional value adequate for health and

strength, of wholesome quality and well prepared and served.

Raw potatoes every day for the rest of your life..eehhh no thanks. If Dream ever gets out he will probably join me in the 'eating potatoes trauma' box. As funny as that sounds, it isn't a joke. I was force fed potatoes as a child and I hated it to the point where it gave me a mental block that stops me from eating them as my body just does not want to swallow it. It's a problem. But I can joke about it. Maybe Tommy will join us too, although it wasn't really the eating potatoes that caused that trauma...rip. Rest in anything but potatoes.

Rule 42

General living conditions addressed in these rules, including those related

to light, ventilation, temperature, sanitation, nutrition, drinking water,

access to open air and physical exercise, personal hygiene, health care

and adequate personal space, shall apply to all prisoners without

 exception.

I think it's pointless to say more on that topic as it's pretty much already summed up. Let us now move over to what are probably some of the qoutes so specific that it's scary.

“Furthermore, [the Committee] is concerned about the use of solitary

 confinement for indefinite periods of time.... Full isolation of 22 to 23

 hours a day in supermaximum security prisons is unacceptable

(art. 16).” - Committee. against Torture [CAT]

Oh wow.. talk about on the nose. I should've just started with this one as it pretty much says pretty clearly how it is unacceptable. Like yikes...can you get more specific? It is just downright ridiculous at this point. (-_-;)

“Solitary confinement, when used for the purpose of punishment,

 cannot be justified for any reason, precisely because it imposes severe

 mental pain and suffering beyond any reasonable retribution for

 criminal behaviour and thus constitutes an act defined in article 1 or article

 16 of the Convention against Torture, and a breach of article 7 of the

 International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights."

Ahaha...ha....yeah for those who justify it...the convention against torture is very much against it being justified...Imagine if the characters could read these rules, that'd be interesting. Although I am pretty sure they don't follow realism for the imprisonment. As I have already said; this is just an interesting look at the irl rules and how Dream's punishment and Pandora's Vault stand under light of them.

“No prisoner, including those serving life sentence [sic] and prisoners on

 death row, shall be held in solitary confinement merely because of the

 gravity of the crime.”

 - Special Rapporteur on Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment

Like...there are no loopholes here. It is so extremely clear that it truly is darkly impressive how the characters don't seem to have a second thought about this. How do you accidentally sentence someone to a lifetime of torture without realizing? If they do know...It'd be very dark.

Btw Tommy's exile and his time in prison doesn't count as solidary confinement. Just to clear that up.

It amazes me how badly they break these rules...I know they probably didn't take the realism into consideration. However it is still kind of darkly impressive. Especially considering how scary specific they break them too. Even though this is just a interesting (I was about to write fun, however I wouldn't count realizing how inhuman the prison is is 'fun'. But it is interesting) look at Dream's punishment and Pandora's Vault under the light of real life rules for prisons. (lol my paranoid self have said this so much)

These facts also proves how saying it's justified...is kind of morally bad. Not attacking anyone! I just want to also say how while it is pure fiction and the characters in the story can have whatever opinion they want as they are characters. However when it comes to fans approving and justifying it without taking time to consider how it really isn't something that can be justified (real or no). You can have whatever opinion you want, however just maybe take some of what you have learned today and reflect over it? To think twice after having received new information dosen't hurt. I am not here to tell you what to think, so rest easy. Only to share some facts^^ (*so obviously scared of offending anyone*)

I recommend taking some time to look it up yourself if you want to look further into it. The psychological aspects of it is also interesting to look at!

I hope you have learned something here today and found this post and my research interesting! I spent hours on this so I hope you have enjoyed this! I originally posted this on reddit and I was very surprised at how many stopped by to read it and therefore I choose to post it here as well because you learn something and hopefully also gained a new perspective. 

Ninma over and out!
