[lenny-link]

i LIVE for your sniperscout art they're so silly it feeds me so well :'') mind sharing headcanons or just random thoughts you have abt them?

sorry anon for taking a whole year to reply to this i took all the time to ‘study’ them and write what i like about them or basically how i hc this ship :,> (also trying to come up with new hc that i haven’t read before)

My Sniperscout headcanons/thoughts:

- Sniper, the stoic assassin with a heart as cold as ice, had never expected to have his life turned upside down by a ball of energy and bad puns named Scout. He was the first one to develop feelings. His job consisted of a lot of staring, and well his sniper rifle wasn’t the only thing with a long scope, Sniper’s gaze would linger on Scout, tracing the messy dirty blonde hair, his athletic form and the way his lips moved like a silent film, noticing details about him more than a simple teammate would.

- The loudmouth, messy-haired kid was everything Sniper wasn't: impulsive, loud, and always looking for trouble. Yet, somehow, Scout would find his way into Sniper's quiet life, his laughter chasing away the monotony of Sniper's days, filling the silence with his made up stories and infectious enthusiasm.

- Sniper refuses to admit his growing fondness for the ball of energy that had invaded his quiet world. Scout’s jokes might have been bad but they chased away the deafening solitude of Sniper’s days.

- Scout, on the other hand, being the you youngest and loudest, craved attention he barely found from his brothers let alone the 8 mercs he worked with. But with Sniper, he wasn’t ignored he was listened to, Sniper listened really listened. He would even laugh at his lame jokes! In Sniper’s silence, Scout didn’t have to fight for space or attention. He was simply allowed to be himself, bad jokes and all and Sniper would just smile. Slowly a different kind of warmth would blossom into Scout chest, a warmth beyond friendship.

- Sniper actually enjoyed learning about American culture from Scout. He would develop a surprising fondness for baseball and apple pie, though he’d never admit it.

- Regardless of the fact that they have only a three year age gap (yes my hc is that Scout is 26 and Sniper is 29) they felt like creatures from different planets!: Sniper, the farm boy raised on outdated ways, and Scout, the city kid with a modern swagger (lol) yet this difference somehow only strengthened their bond.

- A bond that was fueled by shared laughter, puns, Aussie slangs, and a mutual dislike for Spy. They loved to elaborate pranks on him and call it a date, much to the Frenchman's chagrin lol.

- Despite his "Professional with Standards" persona, Sniper would feel like a lost puppy when Scout wasn’t around during their off hours, subconsciously fidgeting and always looking for him. Yet refuses to call himself soft.

- Sniper, a man of action, would expressed his affection through whatever small gifts he can give, he would bring funny-shaped rocks, odd plants or flowers he found in the woods to Scout as a souvenir of his lil adventures in the woods, and Scout would usually mock his weird finds playfully yet would collect them all on the shelf of his dorm.

- Scout, meanwhile, being the hopeless romantic is, had his own unique way of flirting, his goofy sweetness and awkward affections (0 rizz, but weirdly endearing) melting even the frostiest corners of Sniper’s heart.

- He'd always make up excuses to be alone with Sniper, "accidentally" forgetting his backpack in the van just for an extra ride back. (i was actually working on a comic about this as a continuation of Scout forgetting his necklace at Sniper’s van). He'd linger in doorways, his hands brushing against Sniper's in a clumsy attempt for physical contact.

- The first time their skin met in a hug, Sniper, being a touch starved man, melted like a hot candle. He became addicted to the warmth.

- He never initiates contact himself since it never was his style, but eagerly cling when Scout did. He'd hold on like a koala bear, clinging to the warmth like a lifeline lol.

- Scout, on the other hand, thrived on physical connection. From fist bumps on the battlefield to playful slaps on the bum (earning a hilarious reaction from Sniper every time), he craved it all

- Although Sniper hated PDA, a weakness exposed by Scout's touch. Scout, initially confused by the battlefield indifference followed by clingy cuddles in their private moments, eventually understood and learned to cherish this weird rhythm of intimacy.

- Sniper had a secret passion for knitting, he often knits sweaters, hats and socks for Scout, another way to gift Scout and to silently demonstrate his love. (i think this one is basically canon lol)

- Sniper’s van had become their mobile love nest, cuddling under the moonlight, sharing stories and dreams until they fall asleep.

- Whenever Scout's boasting gets out of hand, Sniper would silence him with a quick, playful kiss. Scout, flustered but secretly delighted, pretends to be annoyed but can't hide the blush creeping up his neck.

- Sniper who loves to show his gruff stoic exterior, gets all flustered and shy when Scout gives him genuine compliments. He’d mumbles something under his breath and hides behind his hat not used to being complimented, revealing a new weakness for Scout to exploit.

- Scout, despite his outward bravado, secretly worries about Sniper when he's on dangerous missions. He would hide it by throwing playful punches and jokes, but his eyes betray his concern.

- They fit together like puzzle pieces. Sniper, the touch-starved soul, finds solace in Scout's constant physical affection, his warmth a contrast to the coldness of his sniper's lonely lifestyle. And Scout, the braggart with a hidden insecurities, finds comfort in Sniper's quiet protectiveness.

hope that wasn’t too boring to read :>

[restinslices]

Hello again, I love the publication of Tomas and the combat medical reader and I would like to ask you for one like this with Bi-han, please 🙏🏻😔

Thank you for accepting my English, it is getting better

L.N

I'm still mad that Bi-Han did that silly ass jump in that portal in Khaos Reigns-

Similar to Tomas' scenario, you're a Lin Kuei ninja who specializes in healing

I don't see him as a a super social kid so are you guys 4lifers? No. Aware of each other's presence? Yes

He hurts himself really bad one day and he's sent to you

Do y'all remember how stubborn he was at the end of Khaos Reigns? Even the younger version of him is tweaking and making your life hard

"I don't need your help" "I'm sure you don't”

Meanwhile his heart is purple, his leg inside out-

You heal him and he goes on about his day

I can see a friendship forming and growing once you prove you’re helpful beyond just healing

I feel like he appreciates people who are good at multiple things, so you also being a great fighter intrigues him

I still think his dad is forcing him to see you for a while-

You end up talking and he ends up talking about things he wants changed for the Lin Kuei and you agree

Are those church bells I hear?

He’s not in love with you now but this is where the friendship starts

Now he’s not being overly difficult when it comes to being healed

Time passes and you’re still very loyal to him. That’s what separates you from everyone else - he knows you’re loyal to him and his vision

I don’t see Bi-Han needing to be healed super often. He’s a pretty careful person. You still hang around each other though

I think the romantic feelings would be kinda slow. I don’t see him jumping into relationships quickly

Oh but when you support him letting his dad die? Oh bitch he almost proposed right then and there

You’re that loyal? You believe in his vision that much? You understand that sacrifices must be made for the betterment of everyone?

You’re an amazing fighter and an amazing healer?

I PICK MY POISON AND IT’S YOOOOUUUU-

All joking aside, your loyalty and faith in him means a lot to him. I imagine that “what I want for our clan” talk happens when he’s a kid, so ya’ll have been close for years at this point

Onto you being a combat medic, you’re definitely tagging along with him whenever he’s on missions

After seeing him with Sektor, I think he’d give you words of affirmations as or after you work on someone

Compliments your intelligence and how skillful you are

Ya’ll are quite literally partners in crime

Now onto Khaos Reigns-

“Can you heal me?” “No Bi-Han, because I see nothing that needs to be healed :D” “….” “Nah but being serious, I legit can’t do anything-“

I don’t think he’s mad at you for not being able to heal him. His silly goofy ass is the one that decided to stand on a business a lil too seriously

You visit him while he’s being healed and tell him about the stupid injuries you’ve been having to fix for others

You also promise you’re not going anywhere

Ya’ll a lil chaotic but it’s cute

[eternal-kosmo-ghoul]

AS MY TREAT I WANT THE MOST SILLY, GOOFY AAA HCS OF THE PAPA'S.

Like idk Copia used to have to wear earplugs because Terzo snores so loudly it's literally obnoxious or something like that.

“aww my middle finger likes you”

❤︎ synopsis — this is pure bullshittery and crack in its finest form with the papas. they can be a little crazy at times

pairing: all papa emeritus’ x gn!reader (can be platonic or romantic)

theme: crack ✦ , fluff ✿ (if you squint)

a/n: this is a toast to my bestie for being an absolute chad. i was high making these, enjoy.

cw: terzo is a warning enough on his own. that’s it.

▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆▆

➵ papa primo

he’s the oldest so he constantly has to deal with the shit from his psychopathic brothers

like— primo is basically THE mom friend, except he’s the mom for moe, larry and curly over here

(moe, larry and curly being secondo, terzo and copia)

he constantly had to hold back secondo from beating the shit out of terzo because terzo made fun of him for being bald

“I’M GONNA RIP OFF YOUR WEAVE—“ “SECONDO NO—“

bro unironically listens to weezer

like full out busting down a just dance move to this music

you once caught him dancing to it, and he stood there frozen like the man emoji

he told you to never speak of it again and you just nodded, trying to plague your mind of that horrendous image

primo cannot cook for shit too btw

you were once out and asked him to make something before you got home to the ministry

the minute you walked in the door, the kitchen stove was on fire and all of primo’s ghouls were running around and screaming in infernal about the fire

meanwhile, primo stood there not knowing what to do, looking like the man emoji AGAIN

it’s basically his trademark at this point

“…. primo what the absolute fuck—“ “it wasn’t me i swear.”

while primo’s ghouls were still learning english, he once said “fuck you” to you in a very sarcastic way

but the ghouls thought it was how humans said “hello” in english

so they went around to the other siblings of sin, and sister imperator saying “fuck you” to them while leaving all those poor people offended and dumbfounded

you smacked the back of his head after that and forced him to apologize to his ghouls and to the siblings of sin (plus imperator of course)

and he gave the ghouls extra scritches too

primo also has the dad sneeze

like he can send another universe to the next tomorrow with his goofy ass sneeze

he once sneezed so loud he scared copia and caused him to bang his head on the wall

it was kinda funny tbh

anyways yeah note to self stay 10000 feet away from primo if he’s on the verge of sneezing

it’ll save your life

┅✦┅

➵ papa secondo

secondo has two moods

“oh my satan you’re all so stupid i literally hate you all” and “tee hee i’m a girly girl”

like ??? what’s this guy on???

this guy has the sass of a high school history teacher

like secondo’s being so deadass about whatever he’s saying but he’s always fucking saying it like—

“c’mon now, you literally have the style of a hairless roach 💅”

it confuses you a lot of the time, really

secondo has his moments where he’s sweet, but for the most part he’s pulling up the middle finger to everyone he sees

it’s a habit

someone could say hi to him in the nicest way possible and he’ll just grumble and flip them off

it’s not even that he’s trying to be mean, it’s a habit (a very bad habit)

you once got tired of it and smacked his hand, when he flipped you off. so it’s safe to say he no longer does it

at least to you

secondo is an absolute menace to his brothers

with primo he’s chill because he’s the eldest, but with the younger two he’s got no chill

definitely made copia cry at some point during his younger years

he later got his ass chewed out by you and primo, because no one makes copia cry

secondo’s literally so bossy it’s kinda funny

he’s always one flip flop away from smacking someone every time someone pisses him off

him and terzo are BEEFING all the time

and it’s over the stupidest shit too

“you’re stupid.” “well, you’re face is stupid” “you’re both stupid, end of the discussion.”

you once switched out all of his skull face paint for a pink barbie pallet

so secondo was walking around lookin’ like hello kitty emeritus and everyone was trying so hard not to laugh

even his ghouls were struggling too

“… secondo—“ “not. another. word.”

┅✦┅

➵ papa terzo

bro’s the fuckin’ definition of fruity

you thought secondo was girly pop?? wait ‘till you see terzo, he’s fucking extravagant

will literally show up in the grocery store lookin’ like a character ripped straight from criminal minds

like— he has to make a show EVERYWHERE he goes. he likes to stand out

terzo is also the type of man to wear skirts and dresses because he knows he’s hot shit and he devours every fit he puts together

he shows off that waist frfr

“… terzo what the fuck—“ “shut up you know i’m sexy and i’m going to show it.”

if you wear skirts or dresses he’ll definitely ask to borrow them

he definitely passed down his fruitiness to copia

and to his ghouls

he scams kids on adopt me and has a good laugh every time because he likes to see people get mad at him since he stole their hella expensive pet from them

primo told him to quit it because what kind of satanic pope scams poor little children on a roblox game?

as stylish as terzo is, he cannot do his hair and makeup to save his life

he’ll usually ask you to do it for him wherever he has to perform or do public events, which is why his face paint is simple compared to secondo and primo

it gives you two bonding time though and it’s cute

he once watched the pinkie pie smile hd video and was traumatized for a few days

like he straight up locked himself in his room and would not come out unless you convinced him to do so

during an after party after a concert ritual, he got so wasted and almost kissed omega

like you had to PRY this man off of the poor ghoul, while omega stood there unaffected (hehe tall buff demon boy)

terzo is the shortest emeritus and none of his brothers will let him live it down

ESPECIALLY copia, since he’s younger than him

terzo almost kicked him in the nuts because of that

but that definitely was a stab to his already massive ego

you reassured him that there’s nothing wrong with his height even though you found some of the jokes his brothers made funny

live laugh love terzo

┅✦┅

➵ papa copia

copia doesn’t know what he’s doing half of the time

like he’s just given a mic and he just wings a performance while the ghouls on stage are fucking around and going absolutely feral

out of all the papas, copia legitimately treats his ghouls like his own kids

he feels like he’s getting more grey hairs every time he has to stop swiss from fucking his own guitar, or sodo and phantom from fighting about cheese sticks

you sometimes help copia do ghoul-sitting and it’s just chaos. you’re literally their second parent

copia and you = parent duo for the era iv ghouls

he unironically owns a lot of funko pops

and he keeps the one of himself on a special pedestal in a glass case for safe keeping

though secondo almost once knocked over the case and he was three seconds away from smiting a bitch

you once were looking for copia because you wanted to ask him something and you found him in a ritual room

except the ritual was that he surrounded himself with a bunch of rat plushies and he was on his knees in front of a picture of a rat with a tiny crown

you were so confused, and he refuses to acknowledge what that was

“…. copia i—“ “you didn’t see anything.”

he fucking washes himself with dish soap and laundry detergent

this man is going around smelling like dawn dish soap and it’s so weird

it’s not that it even smells bad??? it just smells so interesting and strong you swear you’re in a fever dream

copia is an avid mitski fan

definitely cried his eyes out like a little bitch when he first listened to “the land is inhospitable and so are we” because he couldn’t get over how sad “my love mine all mine was”

radiates theater kid energy

but like— the kind of theater kid that is just passionate about theater and is very giddy when people ask about it

when he started his first meeting as papa he got so nervous that he straight up started the meeting with the word “mushroom”

like it’s so random ??? but it made the ghouls and you giggle so it somewhat worked out ??

copia is a little silly

Sisters a Dimension Apart Chapter 1: An Unexpected Rescue

———

“Leo never gave up on us, I’m not giving up on him!” Mikey yelled with his arms pushed forward and tears streaming down his face.

Casey had said something about him having magic hands and he was really really hoping he was right because if Casey was wrong… if Mikey couldn’t save Leo… no. He will save Leo.

His finger tips started to burn. He felt his ninpo pulsing through his body. Beginning in his heart, rushing up his arms, and finally surging through his fingers and out in the form of a glowing tear in the sky.

“Mikey whatever you’re doing… don’t stop!” Raph shouted from a few feet away.

Mikey’s memories of Leo all came rushing to his mind. Watching Jupiter Jim together way past their bed time as tots. How he would help when Mikey cut his finger. All of his huge elaborate birthday parties. His dumb skate board tricks that never worked. His confident smile. The constant puns and silly jokes.

He ripped the tear in the sky open even wider. The pain shot up his hands like every atom was set ablaze.

He felt Raph’s palm grip his shoulder. Then Donnie’s joined too. He felt the comfort and stability of his brothers’ ninpo surround him.

His skin split and cracked like he was being ripped apart, just like the portal he was trying so desperately to keep together.

The cracks traveled up his skin in an agonizing race to devour him completely.

Once the cracks reached his shoulders some of the burden was lifted by his brothers’ support. He felt as the cracks stopped in their pursuit and traveled on to other targets.

The portal finally took shape. He could see the other side. He could look into the dark, empty Prison Dimension. And just a few feet away was his fearless brother in blue.

“Leo!” Mikey let out a heart wrenching cry as he saw his brother turn over to face his family.

Leo made a pitiful noise that was presumed to be a laugh, “Heh, took you guys long enough.”

Leo reached forward. He reached with every bit of fleeting strength he had left. He reached toward his family he thought he’d never see again. He reached for the planet he had sacrificed himself for. He reached for the feeling of warmth and of safety radiating off his family.

Without missing a beat Raph summoned a construct arm and thrusted it through the portal. He gripped Leo’s arm like it was his only life line. But right as he began pulling Leo towards him, towards home, a sudden shadow loomed behind him… Krang Prime.

Donnie immediately jumped into action, summoning a ginormous Drill construct and sent it plowing into the Krang.

No way they were about to lose Leo again. They were too close.

The drill’s force pried Krang Prime off of Leo, hurling him into the abyss of the Prison Dimension. The knock back gave Raph just enough time to pull Leo through the threshold and safe onto Staten Island.

Krang Prime hurled himself toward the portal with an enraged roar.

Mikey stared him down, gave him his classic goofy smile, and closed the portal with a wink.

The second Leo had crossed through the portal, the turtle that had gripped his leg seconds before was sent tumbling like a rag-doll across Staten Island.

But no one had noticed.

Not even when Leo let out a scream of pain when her claws tore out of his leg.

They were all in shock. They had Leo back. He was alive. They did it. They beat the Krang. They were all safe.

Meanwhile, Leo was in utter agony. He had several broken bones, ribs, and probably a concussion or two. His leg was actively bleeding from the deep punctures caused by something that had just latched onto his leg literal seconds ago. His shell felt as if it had been smashed to pieces, glued back together, then ripped from his spine twenty times. The only taste in his mouth was from the blood that slowly dripped off his lip. He wanted to do nothing more than to lie down and sob for hours (except for the fact that the act of crying would be excruciating for his broken ribs), but hey, his brothers were here and he knew what that meant… show time.

He put on a goofy grin (Igniting every muscle in a fiery symphony). He held back a wince and a cough (which was harder than he’d ever admit), “ewwww are we on Staten Island!?” His voice rasped and the words ripped through his sore throat. But he showed no signs of pain. Because what else is the face man supposed to do? Let his brothers freak out because he’s half dead!?

Within seconds everyone was in a bone crushing hug with Leo stuck in the middle. Lucky for Leo all his bones were already crushed, Krang Prime saw to that personally. But that didn’t help the pain one bit.

They were all too busy crying over their precious rescued brother to even notice their long lost sister lying only a few yards behind.

“HAH LOSER, I WON!!”

Everyone slowly turned their heads to the cry of victory heard from behind them.

“TAKE THAT DEATH!! I WON. I BEAT YOU. IM FREEEEEEEE!! YA HERE THAT BESTIE?!?! I. GOT. OUT. AND YOU DIDN’T!! BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHA!!!!”

A few yards behind them was another turtle, she was screaming out in a scratchy voice directed to no one at all. The turtle quickly delved into a howling laughter rolling across Staten Island with her hands clutching her plastron. The laughs devolved into hacking coughs before cycling back into the same manic laughter as before.

They really needed to process what in pizza supreme just happened, but it seemed like Leo had other plans.

Right after they noticed the hysterical turtle rolling around on the ground, Leo’s suppressed injuries caught up to him in full. He weakly tried to tug on Raph’s mask tails to alert him but only lifted a finger before promptly losing consciousness.

Everyone immediately focused their attention on Leo. Donnie started barking orders. Everything was moving so fast. Raph tore off a bit of his mask tail to dress the punctures in Leo’s leg. Donnie checked Leo’s pulse and then frantically started chest compressions with tears welling in his eyes. Everyone was shouting and rushing and the howling laughter and horrendous coughs from the stranger did not help.

Mikey just sat there uselessly trying not to freak out. The glowing cracks on his arms began to fade, leaving behind swollen bleeding cuts all the way up his shoulder. Every slight movement caused pain he couldn’t bear. He couldn’t help anyone. Even if his arms didn’t hurt he’d have do idea where to start. Leo was dying right in front of him and he could do absolutely nothing. It was torture.

A few moments later Donnie seemed to have stabilized Leo but the yelling continued. Now he was shouting something about a van into his broken communicator. Mikey had never heard Donnie this panicked, but not just panicked, Donnie sounded desperate. He wasn’t just barking orders, he was begging for the orders to be followed through. And Mikey couldn’t do a thing.

The constant background noise of howling laughter changed. It turned into a fit of coughs that didn’t circle back to laughs. It just got worse and worse then…

It stopped.

Raph and Donnie definitely noticed but didn’t change what they were doing. And Mikey wasn’t doing anything so… why not check on the stranger?

Mikey carefully stood up trying not to move his arms and approached the turtle on the ground.

And oh my.

Her eyes were closed as she lay there. Her breathes were small and shallow. There were huge scars trailing every inch of her body. Rapidly forming bruises and a few cuts scattered all over her body.

She must have just been in a fight.

Her plastron had a large crack by her right shoulder (kind of like Raph’s new one but bigger). Her shell, though Mikey couldn’t see much, looked like giant chunks were missing. She had little yellow spots on her shoulders and legs and a red spot next to each of her eyes with a large scar covering the left one. She had scraps of some sort of brown fabric wrapped around her legs and used as a belt and sash like his own. She had some sort of gauntlets on her arms and a black top going just under her plastron with a little orange thing on the left side that Mikey was too overwhelmed to think about.

He leaned over her head and looked at her. She was breathing, that was good, but it seemed a little wrong. Too shallow. Too quick. Then she just stopped as if she was holding her breath.

“Um… hey are you alright? You look pretty hurt maybe I could help—“

“Boo!” Her eyes popped open and she waved her hands like jazz hands.

Mikey stood there completely shocked as two large Krangfied eyes stared back at him. He froze. They just defeated the Krang. This couldn’t be happening. His eyes darted to the large gauntlets. It was part of a Krang mech. The orange symbol on the her black top was the symbol of the foot clan. He stumbled backwards. He fell to the ground and instinctively caught himself with his hands—

“AGHH!!” He let out an agonizing scream as his arms tried to support him. They buckled and collapsed immediately and he fell hard to the ground.

His brothers turned to see Mikey on the floor with terror and tears in his eyes. And to the right of him was a stranger, now sitting up, falling over, standing, spinning her arms in an attempt to balance herself and falling again. They had no idea what happened but they didn’t deem the other turtle a threat so Raph rushed over to help Mikey. Donnie was just clutching Leo’s hand with tears begging to fall. He couldn’t leave his Twin’s side.

Raph made it to Mikey and scooped him up from the ground, “What happened Mike, are you okay!? What’s hurt’n? Raph’s here to help ya.”

Mikey raised a shaky hand, he winced in pain as he did, pointing toward the stranger, who was now successfully on her feet looking like a toddler who didn’t know how to walk.

Raph looked but was still confused. Did that stranger hurt him? From the looks of it she doesn’t even know how to move! He looked down at Mikey’s shaking hand and noticed the awful blistering wounds. “Mikey your arms!”

Mikey lowered his hand and attempted to speak in a shaky, unstable voice, “I- I’m fine Raph, b- b— but her! She- she’s—“

Suddenly she was only a few inches away from Raph’s face. She was almost the same height as Raph perhaps an inch or two shorter. They met each other’s gaze.

Face to face with the eyes of Krang.

He hastily stepped back. The feeling of the Krang tendrils writhing on his skin flooded his senses.

She just looked at him with a playful grin, it was sickening. It was almost as if he was staring at Prime’s smug face again but her grin had less hate and malice behind it.

She beamed up at him and spoke in the same scratchy voice that had been screaming about escaping death only minutes ago, “HI! It is a pleasure to meet you. My name is… well I don’t even— HAHA!! I don’t even know my own name!! How funny is that!?” Her manic laughter came back in full only to be immediately stopped by a series of dangerous coughs. Her large gauntlets gripped her carapace as she was sent doubled over from coughing.

In the middle of her coughs she raised a hand to Raph.

Raph stared in horror at the hand raised to him. Was it an attack? What was she doing? Is she infected by Krang!? She has to be, she has their eyes! But where’s the tendrils? He couldn’t come to a single conclusion, but he held onto his baby brother as tight as he could. Whatever happened, she would NOT hurt Mikey anymore.

She looked up once her coughing died down and noticed her own hand still raised in front of Raph. “Huh, I thought you would’ve shaken it by now… do people not shake hands anymore!? Heh that’s kinda funny I look like an idiot now don’t I. Haha…”

“Wh- who are you?” Raph stammered in a shaky voice.

“Ummm hellloooooo? Did you not hear ANYTHING I just sai—“ she made eye contact with Donnie and abruptly stopped in the middle of her sentence. Donnie stared back from a couple yards away still clutching Leo’s hand.

Raph silently backed away and made his way toward his brother.

Donnie looked her up and down. He saw the scars, the gauntlets, the foot symbol, and the eyes. He felt the writhing tendrils crawling up his exposed shell. He remembered the agony from being ripped from the control unit. He blinked. Trying to form a single coherent thought.

“I WIN!” She said as she kept her eyes locked on Donnie.

“…what?”

She ran up to him in the blink of an eye, “I won. You blinked. That means I won.” Her face was inches away from Donnie’s. Her words came out oddly monotone, a stark contrast to seconds ago. Then, she straightened up and stood with a wild grin on her face. She made no move to attack. She just stood.

Raph moved beside Donnie with Mikey standing safely behind both of them. Raph was fully prepared to fight ten Krang before he would let anyone lay another finger on his brothers.

Donnie positioned himself over Leo’s body in a pathetic attempt to protect him.

Donnie’s thoughts were spinning and the sensations of slimy tendrils still seeped into every thought. Why wasn’t she attacking them? They were defenseless. If she were Krangified wouldn’t she have just outright tried to kill them? That’s what… that’s what Raph did when he was Krangified.

She dropped to a crouch in front of Donnie. Raph flinched forward, ready to pummel her if she made any moves.

“Soooo… whatcha doin’? Who’s the dead guy?” She asked as she stared at Leo’s unconscious body.

“He is NOT dead! What do you want with us?!” Raph snapped from behind. Though he looked to Donnie to confirm his first exclamation. Donnie offered a small nod and a grunt.

“Wooooahhhh chill out!! I’m not looking for a fight. Haha I’ve had my fair share for today! And from the looks of it you have too! Hah you guys look awful! I mean absolutely terrible!”

That came as a shock. Well not the part about them looking awful. But why was she here if she was avoiding a fight? Why didn’t she want to fight? Wasn’t she Krangfied? So why was she so different from Raph?

“Then what do you want?” Donnie asked because he was willing to do whatever as long as it kept them all safe. And he was genuinely curious.

“I would KILL to know what’s going on! Hehehe, kill get it because… well I don’t- wait that doesn’t even make sense?? What am I talking about!? HAHAhahahahaaha-” her laughs stopped abruptly. Her face fell to a serious expression, “What is going on though?”

Donnie had no idea how to articulate a summary of the past hours, especially with such short notice. It was hard to think at all when he was face to face with a possibly infected stranger.

She waited as his thoughts spun in circles. She just sat there breathing shallow breathes. It was strange, she seemed oddly patient.

He finally found a way to word everything, hoping that she’d leave once he explained, “Well… the Krang, an alien race—

“Oh yeah, I know the Krang. Heheh you thought I didn’t know who the Krang were! That’s hilarious!!”

“…anyway, they invaded earth,” Donnie spoke slow and careful, “we fought them. We managed to trap them back in the prison dimension,” his eyes flicked to Leo before he continued, “then you came…”

She hopped back to her feet in one swift motion. She looked down at Donnie and Leo as she responded, “Well, I have no clue what this ‘Prison Dimension’ is but… oh… �� her eye contact drifted off and her expression turned blank. Though her wide, frankly scary, grin quickly came back to her face, her eyes stayed unfocused and distant as she playfully shouted, “GOING DOWN!!” And promptly fell to the ground with a small salute before her consciousness completely faded off.

The turtles all let out a sigh of relief. They didn’t know what to do with her but at the moment they had much more pressing matters. Immediately the van skidded to a stop right beside them and Casey jr, April, and splinter rushed out. The three of them were stunned by the fifth turtle on the ground but focused their attention on getting Leo in the van.

They all loaded Leo into the van and quickly prepared themselves for departure, but Mikey stared at the fifth turtle. Were they planning to just leave her behind? She was clearly injured and needed help. So he spoke up, “what about her?” He said as he eyed her from the back of the van, “we’re not just gonna leave her here right?”

Raph was sitting with Mikey in his lap. He was the first to respond, “Why wouldn’t we? Didn’t she hurt you?”

“No! No she just… scared me. But don’t you think it’s wrong to just leave her here? She needs help!”

“She’s infected Mike…” Raph softly reminded

“We don’t know that! I mean yeah, she looked like she was, but she didn’t act like it! And if she was would you really just leave her to roam New York?”

Donnie chimed in from the back of the van where he had propped Leo’s head up on his leg, “As much as I hate to admit it, Angelo has a point, Raph. We can’t just leave her here, it’s too dangerous for New York.”

“It’s too dangerous for us! What if she attacks us when she wakes up!?”

Donnie thought for a second before coming up with his response, “I could use my tech to create a sort of quarantine in the Med Bay. That way she couldn’t roam free in the city and we would be safe if she attacked.”

Raph looked down at her, focusing on her numerous scars and already purpling fresh bruises, “Fine. But you better make sure she can’t escape.”

With that they dragged her into the van as well. Donnie examined her injuries and began tending to any he could.

The car ride back to the Lair was hectic and filled with frantic questions from April and many explanations from the conscious turtles.

Arriving was all a blur. They had brought Leo into the Med Bay and Casey immediately started an IV to give him much needed fluids and pain killers. Donnie darted off to the lab immediately to create the quarantine. Splinter stayed with Leo the whole time. April sprinted off to help Donnie. Mikey and Raph stayed in the Med bay chairs and watched their face man, their brother in blue, Leo. They watched his unconscious body hooked up to so many wires and tubes. They also watched as Casey perfectly multi-tasked taking care of Leo and the stranger all while working around Splinter.

This wasn’t the end, there were much too many questions left hanging over every one of them. No, this was just a preview of the change they would have to endure.

rewatching the OVAs (netflix s2)

low key one of my fave intros art wise (we all know howling by granrodeo is my fave intro song lol) like the suits !! are so !! cute!!!

and this frame is adorable !!

I love the search for hawk sm theyre all so fucking cute

Meliodas casually dropping “you are my purpose in life” to Elizabeth like a month after they met is INSANE. Bc from his side, makes sense. Fell in love when they were young from opposite sides of a war, risked everything to be together, have been finding and losing each other for 3000 years. But from her side, he is a cool guy she has a crush on (who is at least 15ish years older than her) who she might have known as a child. He also just described her as his entire life’s purpose. Like bro THATS CRAZYYY

Seeing Meliodas destroy the horn of cernunos is such a badass moment to me. The way he responds to her taunting with direct action and violence rather than his usual merciful beating around the bush. My favorite Mel moments are when he is using his silly goofy little guy façade and suddenly has to drop it. This is when we see a glimpse of who he was when leading the 10 commandments: arrogant, powerful, and constantly full of rage

it just so happens that arrogant, powerful, and constantly full of rage are my most prized qualities in any character

WAIT HOLY SHIT IS THE “HEINOUS SIN” MELIODAS IS CONSIDERING THAT THE GODDESS SAYS WILL DRIVE EVERYONE HE LOVES AWAY REFERRING TO HIS PLAN TO BECOME THE DEMON KING ?!?!?!?

THAT WOULD MAKE SO MUCH SENSE AND ADDS LOWKEY A TON CHARACTER MOTIVATION TO EVERYTHING ELSE MEL DOES FROM HERE ON OUT

maybe everyone knew this and im late to the game but damn that would be so cool

im pretty sure ban switches out his red leather for the long burgundy coat is bc he keeps getting stabbed front to back and the coat has a hole in the back so the weapon wont tear it lolll😭

i feel like their faces (esp meliodas’s) look a tiny bit janky in the OVAs

once again appreciating the intro 😌

They’re so fucking cute !!

Merlin and Ban clearly don’t rlly like each other much yet and it’s so funny to me

Like these are Meliodas’s closest friends and they just kinda annoy each other a lot

it’s like fuckin icarly

Gustav: the captain and one of his fellow sins going one on one? We might neve see something like this again!

hahahahaha nooo. i mean gustav didn’t, he’s dead. but the rest will el ol el

Gil is the biggest dork to ever live and howzer is concerned. Mans is crying at watching them fight and howzer is just like … ok ??

Bartra: where the fuck is my daughter

his daughter: literally watching a cage fight

MELIODAS RIPS OFF BAN’S FUCKING ARM AND SMACKS HIM WITH IT AHSDBFKSKFSDHFFK LOLLLL

theyre literally the cutest

bestiesss (boyfriends)

every one of these bitches is a fucking alcoholic

ban’s whole character is that he’s a depressed, violent alcoholic and I love him

my horrible secret is that im skipping through a lot of ova 3 bc im just not a kiane girlie😔

i do love diane tho she so babygirl

nakaba’s not even thinly veiled size kink strikes again. Seriously, i can fuck with it, but its so funny that every single main ship has a significant/abnormal height difference

hendy and dreyfus are so gay for each other im genuinely surprised it’s not canon

like look at this scene and tell me something lgbt is not happening here

omg my pfp !!

Howzer’s dad is such a dick i love it

Meliodas using the sugar spoon to full counter is literally so fucking cute, i love when they have to use dumb weapons

but also vivian lost to a tiny spoon hehe

bet gil regrets not killing vivian after she kidnaps and permanently fucks up his son ahaha🥲

Merlin being fucking terrifying saying that vivian should have realized that she is a monster is why im gay

Meanwhile Meliodas:

I love when his face does that he’s so baby

KASDBFKLHDFNWDKF GIL, HOWZER, AND GRIAMOR ALL BEGING HORNY ABT “MATURE WOMAN” MERLIN

anyway time to start season 2!!

Day 7 of 26 with @neopetsdotcom

WAXWORK (1988)

Lauren's Review (from Letterboxd)

Suuuuchhh a fun premise (a wax museum of the most famous movie monsters where you get sucked into their movies and they kill you) but I have to say. I found myself rooting for the monsters most of the time. I was surprised we were supposed to be rooting for the lazy spoiled rich guy? He feels literally set up by the movie as unsympathetic, and yet he plays the hero in “””rescuing””” Sarah feom the marquis de Sade (she was obviously having a good time?) and during the final confrontation gets to be victorious without having learned anything or changed at all. Despite this gripe, as I said, the premise and episodic format and seeing a bunch of iconic movies monsters is so much fun thst it’s hard not to have a good time

Awl's Review (transcribed)

this is a movie about a museum curator living out his fantasy of what he would like to do people who don't respect museum exhibits. if another person climbs into a diorama to fuck dracula, he's gonna lose it!!!!!!!

this is a really fun jaunt through iconic movie monsters. the premise of this film is a guy with a terrible idea collects 18 trinkets from the "18 most evil beings" and makes a wax museum dedicated to them. i love how nonsensical this world building is: key to defeating them is not believing in them, but also it strongly implies Little Shop of Horrors happened in real life.

it's great. all the hits are there: werewolves, zombies, aliens, witches, Marquis De Sade.

for a real spot of analysis, fascinating how firmly this goofy little thing demonizes the other. our hero is a wealthy jerk, but we must root for him to uphold the status quo. meanwhile one lead woman is killed for her sexual freedom and the other is forced to reject her sexual interests through the act of killing De Sade. her masochism is a mistake, and it cannot be allowed out of the wax museum. i wish she had been allowed it, but it's a silly 80s movie. it was never going to happen

[gothsuguru]

Time to drop question on her. So tell me what are ur ideas for slice of life trope🎤

Like yk the gist, trope, dynamic praying u get what I mean 😔

OOOOOH SLICE OF LIFE TROPES??? :O that’s a good question omg…

one of my Fav tropes is dumbass!reader x morosexual!geto i think it’s so funny and silly i have a fic idea for this too 😭 it’s just sad tired suguru being cutely annoyed/endlessly fond of an extroverted!reader! i think suguru enjoys his counterparts to be more extroverted + silly + they allow him to be silly too/but also give him a way to take care of them (playing into his MotherHen mode) i also think suguru loves dumbasses like he just Loves hilarious people so much he likes them a lil goofy & dumb

i haven’t done one for this but i do plan on it Eventually… but a roommates!geto fic! he’s toru’s roomie and satoru befriends reader who he hangs out with a bunch! i think suguru feels a bit jealous of reader bc he thinks they’re trying to steal his bestie since birth but meanwhile reader outright Flirts and Hits On suguru every chance they get 😭 reader is like ‘hey satoru how come you didn’t tell me you’re roommates w adonis?’ and suguru is like ‘i hope you die’ and reader winks & is like ‘i hope you’ll kill me’ and suguru is both annoyed and slightly turned on by the turn of events & essentially this would be one of MY fav tropes which is “one-sided enemy to lovers” 😭😭😭 suguru having beef w reader and reader is just like :3 happy to be here :3 (i may wip this soon actually…)

i also think neighbor!reader x dilf!suguru is something i wanna write too… this is just self-indulgent bc i am a Lover of DILFs and the vision of suguru w reading glasses, crows feet due to smiling, & slight salt & pepper hair lining his temples is just so delicious… i’m pouncing on this sexy ass dilf as we SPEAK btw

[bananasofthorns]

tell me about your worst guy

ok a summary of the campaign and what has happened so far, as quick as I can. the campaign is based on the life series started by Grian Minecraft (the irl guy) - tldr all the PCs plus a handful of NPCs are in a death game (kind of think the hunger games in terms of how much space they have. but add minecraft mechanics) and they each have a limited amount of lives; once they reach their last life (red), they get to/have to start killing people. last person standing is the winner. to make things more silly goofy, there is also the boogeyman mechanic, where at least one person per session is chosen to be the "boogeyman" and they have to kill another player or else lose all but their last life at the end of the session.

there are also these beings called the watchers. if you don't know what they are, think angels who love watching people Go Through It in these life games. Aphim is a watcher, but a disgraced one - this game is his last chance to redeem himself. so he NEEDS to win. additionally, he has been told that he has to kill Beau, an NPC who has been in the games previously, was formerly a watcher (which Aphim. dubiously knows in canon? I don't remember), and is currently trying to stop the games from continuing. also he and Aphim are uh. how do I say this. homosexual. Beau is trying to seduce Aphim away from the watchers and Aphim has no fucking clue how to feel about it because he has never been flirted with before. especially not by a hot man. anyway

something you need to know about Aphim is that his normal form, his watcher form, is nowhere near human. he is towering and winged and has far too many eyes and a few too many joints and when he does not need a contained physical form he does not really have one. imagine a desolate, snowy forest of birch. he is the trees and their eye-like knots and the blanket of snow and the spaces between and the void above and the distant stars. that is Who He Is. but for the game he has to be contained in a human form and he Hates It. there is nothing he loathes more. it's like gender dysphoria but for what kind of thing he is. the only thing he loathes nearly as much is the thought of losing his power and autonomy, which is what will happen if he fails the watchers.

and every time he fails to kill Beau, even though he's not red yet and so by the rules of the watchers' game can't yet kill Beau, the watchers threaten his wings. which he obviously is not a huge fan of. so even though he is very intrigued by Beau and what Beau's trying to tell him, the selfishness will always win out.

cut to the most recent session. boogeyman is rolled. the gang [Aphim, Beau, Orla (NPC), Carwyn (Mura's PC), and Apate (Laurie's PC) wakes up to find Synne (NPC who is someone from the real world isekaied into the game. funny as hell) gone. they go to look for Synne. Synne comes out of the bushes trying to attack Beau; Apate and Aphim (who, by the way, hate each other so bad - Apate has a lot of watcher trauma to work through and Aphim just finds her annoying) notice first. Apate (who has also latched onto Beau as a way out of her Literal Trauma Cycle) goes straight to trying to attack Synne. Aphim disarms Synne.

meanwhile, halfway across the map, Arsené (Ophelia's PC) and Achlys (Chrys's PC) both notice a Very Bad Vibe Shift in, like, the fabric of the universe. something is about to go so horribly wrong.

Synne lunges for Beau's throat but Orla blocks Synne; Beau briefly restrains Synne. the moment they touch, Aphim is hit with a wash of pain so bad his entire body just goes numb. it's the feeling he gets when the watchers summon him from the game to talk to him but far, far worse.

which is the bigger threat right now? Synne or Beau?

who is the subject every time the watchers summon him?

he attacks Beau.

obviously, Orla and Apate do not take kindly to this. in fact, they end up killing him about it LMAO (also, side note. all Beau did was push the axe further in. which was INSANE) (he didn't die; Arsené, Achlys, and their allies showed up and helped him). so he's on his second to last life right now

before he respawned, he had a vision where aforementioned Grian Minecraft (the character, this time) (he is also a former watcher) went hey bud. maybe think about what you really want. the watchers will fuck you up. and Aphim (digging his teeth into his monstrousness so hard it'll hurt) basically went hm. no 💛

and then he was also briefly back in the white space where the watchers summon him to talk. and all he felt was their towering presences and disappointment. and then he respawned. so obviously he is going to be so normal about all of this next session,

[lacependragon]

Listen I just want a Bruce Wayne who basically goes mask off autism as Bruce Wayne and creates a specific mask as Batman and who uses his unmasked autism as his cover for not being Batman. He's weird, he's silly, he's a little goofy, and he weaponizes people's assumptions about autism and his own intelligence and their ableist bullshit, all while getting to be super smart as Bruce Wayne anyway.

He invents shit. He gets to be himself. No one's the wiser.

Lex Luthor meanwhile is fucking fuming because he knows Bruce Wayne is a god damn genius - the man has SHOWN OFF his inventions on TV for god's sake! - and is in league with the Justice League, and no one cares. He's convinced Bruce is gonna end up the anti-him and supply the League with weapons of mass destruction instead of making them to kill superheroes.

He's done so many interviews trying to argue that Bruce Wayne is much smarter than he seems. People tend to assume he's just being ableist. Or they're ableist and ignore him.

Bruce is having the time of his life. Lex Luthor is a mockery in the news. Alfred made cookies. His kids are chuckling at the news. And next week he's appearing on Sesame Street with Julia.

[verdantdaises]

im literally am soooo obsessed with your writing style and your brain like woah !!! you’re tooo coool !!! literally just wanna hear your maxley headcanon if you have any ??? ^u^

AHHHH!! That’s so nice omg, I’m definitely not cool I’m lame trust me but I appreciate that sm!! ❤️❤️🤭

I’ll shoot some headcanons out under the cut!! Honestly these are whatever came to my silly little brain first—

I’m not too creative with headcanons, just gonna list some of my personal ones that are pretty consistent through the fandom and some other ones!! Including some side characters too bc I can’t control myself

-I reckon max would work somewhere like a record store for extra money, even if goofy tries to insist that he will give him money for anything he needs. But max insists he needs to make his own income, thank you very much

-Bradley meanwhile has never had a job, and probably will never need to. However, he used to be dragged along to his dad’s office, and his dad used to make him do things, like print things and collect coffees for people, so he’s surprisingly nice to service workers

-I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, Bradley is definitely an only child. Everything about him reeks of being an only child with a difficult home life. No one cares that much about winning without an intense pressure on his shoulders.

-to the same credit, Bradley desperately craves attention, no matter what kind it is. His parents were neglectful, and he needed to do crazier and crazier stuff to earn their love

-I love to think of Bradley having an uncle; who’s not rich, who chose a sweeter side of life over the money, and he has two daughters, Bradley’s nieces, who Bradley tries desperately not to be envious of.

-as fun as tutor Bradley is, I think Max is super smart, I think he’s one of those people who skate by above average without studying which infuriates Bradley to no end bc he doesn’t seem like he tries at all

-that doesn’t stop Max from asking Bradley increasingly dumb questions just to see him ramble about ‘how can he not know that’,

-he pierced Bobby’s ears while they were high lol

-I think Bradley’s mom seems like she’s trying her best, and she wanted to be a mother, but she always takes her husbands side, and is extremely manipulative, which is sometimes worse

-Bradleys family is catholic, and he had to unpack a lot of his religious trauma, but he still whispers prayers under his breath all the time when he’s stressed

-Bradley’s super into Korean skincare lol

-Bradley honestly needs glasses, has them, but fucking hates wearing them because it makes him look like a ‘dweeb’

-max has a tiny powerline tattoo on his ankle he got when he was drunk lol

-I think Max is a rum and coke or beer drinker, and Bradley likes vodka mixers lol

-max got his driving skills from his dad

-Bradley meanwhile had very expensive lessons so he’s anal about road rules.

-he’s so anal about road rules that he has some of the worst road rage you’ve ever seen

-max didn’t officially come out to his dad as bi he was the kind of kid like: oh dad this is —- btw my boyfriend

-Roxanne is a lesbian lol

-she reconnects with max when they are in college and they are absolute menaces in the same space, lots of really stupid pranks

-PJ is terrified of needles and he goes to get a matching tattoo with Mocha and he faints lol

[kenonade]

for the ask game—3, 5, 18, and 25 for peter wiggin?

THE GUY!!!!!!!!!

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?

It’s hard to say because, and I say this with shame—I haven’t read the books in a long, long time. Off the top of my head though, I didn’t like that part in Ender’s Stocking where he became weirdly misogynistic. That was weird. I’m not and have never been a genius teen boy with a younger sister who got rejected by a girl at high school so I can’t say if the interplay between those specific factors would create that outcome—but I sure can say, I didn’t like it.

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

Ether Strike - Akira Complex. It’s hard to explain because it’s a rhythm game song (hello Arcaea fans) whose lyrics consists of like 4 unique lines but I’ll try. “An intense dissatisfaction with the world / And a compulsion to do something about it / Heaven and Earth / My guiding star” It is a compulsion, right? The way he decided he’d be the one to be in charge of it all. Fueled by a sense of desperation for any amount of validation and the guilt that came with. “My guiding star” reminds me of the conversation he had with Ender at the end of Shadow of the Giant where he said that he’d always think, what would Ender do? It helps that I hear a lot of grief, longing, and determination in the drop, too. Honorable mentions to All You Had To Do Was Stay by TS and Mirror Man by Jack Stauber.

18. How about a relationship they have in canon with another character that you admire?

Admire is a weirdly specific word in this context. There’s Bean, Petra, his parents, Graff, Achilles, Ender, Val whom I can see him having notable relationships with. Honestly, none of them are quite admirable? These relationships are interesting and complex and I like reading about them but I wouldn’t say that I look up to them for guidance on what to do with my own social life? The only exception is his relationship with Petra. He gave her space to grieve and a cushion to fall back on. He learned to love and they learned to trust.

25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?

Dude, the first time I read Ender’s Game I was 12 years old. I don’t even remember how I felt towards the book overall. If I had to guess, I probably didn’t like him. At that stage in my life I would’ve related more to Ender. I do, however, remember the first time I picked EG up for a reread. I fell in love IMMEDIATELY. From the moment the book underlined his hatred with how he felt he wasn’t good enough, I knew he was THE standout character. The scene where he apologizes to Ender thinking that Ender’s asleep… HEARTWRENCHING. His heart-to-heart with Val… MY HEART BROKE. Meanwhile he was also so silly and goofy… literally the most crass character, always saying some wild out of pocket thing that made me go “hang on, we read this in sixth grade??!??” Now, with the part of the Enderverse that pertains to him completely in my pocket, it’s hard to pin down how I feel about him. From a personal perspective, he’s still by far my favorite character. His struggles and triumphs are vivid in a way that the other character’s just don’t live up to, and his failures are incredibly real. Viewing the books from a more critical view, Peter’s existence is interesting in and of itself because he occupies a lot of gray areas in the narrative. He’s a major antagonist in EG, and the only one that changes from an antagonist to a protagonist. He’s meant to be untrustworthy while being likable, making him rather unserious. In a narrative that usually frames characters as People We Should Listen To and People We Shouldn’t Listen To, Peter is the only character that we sorta kinda maybe should listen to depending on how much despair he’s experiencing. He’s explicitly allowed to make terribly embarrassing mistakes that threaten to debase his entire character, but he’s allowed to be helped. He’s allowed to crack jokes; the narrative is allowed to crack jokes about him. There’s an inherent levity to any scene he’s in. He can’t take the moral high ground in any argument—we’ve all seen him at his worst—yet he’s also working towards putting more good in the world. He’s a character filled to the brim with contradictions and even more determination to work through them. As a result, his viewpoints have a nebulous, fluid quality that made it impossible for OSC to use him as a personal megaphone, since, though the reader encouraged to challenge Peter’s assumptions, at the end of the day we’re still on Peter’s side—we want him to succeed, but we know that he WILL fumble doing it. He’s personable. And vivid. Which makes him a poor tool and a fabulous icon. A role that sort of echos his treatment in the novels themselves. Anyway. I think he’s neat.

[feverishly-kpop]

OT8 - Drunk Ateez

Yeosang had to admit that drinking at work sounded like a whole lot of fun. He knew that Atiny loved seeing them being silly and having a good time so filming a Wanteez drinking episode seemed like the perfect idea. But about half way through filming Yeosang couldn’t help but notice that some of the members were having a little too much fun.

Yeosang decided to slow down a little with his drinking, instead pouring himself some water. It was clear that once the production wrapped for the day he was going to be left with seven very sloppy drunks.

And of course he was right. San could barely stand up at the end and needed to be hauled to his feet by Wooyoung, who was himself stumbling around while releasing a series of ear-shattering cackles as if he’d never seen such a hilarious sight in his life.

Hongjoong and Seonghwa were leaning against one another for support, both smiling blissfully unaware of anything going on around them.

Mingi, meanwhile, was bear hugging a hiccuping Yunho, leaving Yeosang unsure if Mingi needed to hold onto Yunho in order to stay on his feet or if it was the other way around.

And then there was Jongho, the only one besides Yeosang that seemed to be coherent for the most part, but he too was flushed bright red like the rest of his hyungs, letting out some small giggles at their antics.

“Can we get pizza on the way home?” Yunho mumbled into Mingi’s shoulder, not particularly directed toward anybody.

“We just ate, Yunho” Yeosang said softly, trying to lift Yunho’s chin to get a good look at him.

Yunho scoffed, separating from Mingi for the first time since he stood up and looking around for a chair to sit back down in.

“No, no Yunho” Yeosang sighed, putting an arm out to prevent Yunho from sitting down again. “We have to get going, our ride is outside. Please don’t sit down.”

“I want some pizza too, hyung” Jongho piped in with a pout.

“We’ll see” Yeosang responded, knowing full well that nobody was going to be able to stay awake long enough for pizza.

*~*~*~*~*~

The first stop was Seonghwa, San, and Mingi’s apartment. The three got out of the car followed by Wooyoung who was set on spending the night with San.

“Do you need me to come up with you?” Yeosang asked Seonghwa, mostly out of concern that they wouldn’t actually make it upstairs to their apartment.

“No, I’ll take care of them Sang, thank you” Seonghwa replied, stumbling a bit as he did so.

“Okay but who’s going to take care of you, hyung?” Yeosang replied, grabbing hold of Seonghwa’s arm. Seonghwa simply flashed a goofy grin in response before rounding up San, Mingi, and Wooyoung. Yeosang couldn’t help but smile at their resemblance to a mother duck and her ducklings as they headed inside.

The next stop was to drop Hongjoong and Jongho off, but this time Yeosang asked the driver to wait for him while he took the two others to their apartment. Hongjoong was unusually quiet for the entire ride home and his face had taken on a distinct green tinge, so Yeosang didn’t even bother asking if he needed a hand getting in, opting instead to simply wrap an arm around his Hongjoong’s shoulders to guide him inside.

Jongho, for all of his gusto while filming, was out almost immediately upon laying down on the couch, leaving Yeosang to help Hongjoong get ready for bed, preemptively placing a few tablets and a glass of water on his bedside table knowing that he’d likely be in some pain when he woke up.

By the time Yeosang returned to the van Yunho had laid down across the back row of seats and was very much asleep. Yeosang closed the door softly as he entered, not wanting to wake Yunho until they got back to their own apartment.

Yunho was none too pleased about Yeosang softly shaking him awake once they arrived but headed inside anyway, quickly washing his face and brushing his teeth before exiting the washroom with a timid look on his face.

“Are you feeling okay, Yunho-ah?” Yeosang asked tentatively, not sure how to interpret Yunho’s gaze.

Yunho quickly nodded his head before taking a step closer to Yeosang.

“I want to go to bed” he said quietly.

Yeosang smiled and nodded back. “Of course, Yunho, I’ll be quiet. Get some sleep.”

Yunho then took one more small step closer to Yeosang, reminding Yeosang of a shy child in his drunken state.

“I was hoping you’d come lie down with me?” Yunho asked, avoiding eye contact. “But you don’t have to if you don’t want to!”

Yeosang silently agreed, pushing Yunho toward his room and following without another word. Once he had gotten Yunho comfortable, Yeosang laid down next to him. He thought Yunho had fallen asleep until he heard his name being called softly, responding only with a hum.

“What was the verdict on getting pizza?” Yunho asked through a yawn.

“Maybe later” Yeosang responded, rolling his eyes, knowing that there was no way that Yunho was going to wake up again before his alarm went off the following morning and, if he did, it wouldn’t be to get pizza.

*~*~*~*~*~

It was no surprise to Yeosang when the other seven members piled into the van one by one the following morning looking less than their best.

Seonghwa reported being up for most of the evening sitting with Mingi, San, and Wooyoung as they alternated getting violently ill in the washroom until he himself succumbed to his own nausea.

Hongjoong cringed at Seonghwa’s story, having been sick for the better part of the night himself. Jongho’s eyes widened in response, not having heard his hyung even once. But then again he had woken up on the couch that morning in the same place he had been when Yeosang dropped them off.

Yunho seemed very proud of himself, announcing that he was totally fine and not hung over at all, clearly not remembering waking up a few hours after Yeosang had left him alone for the night, begging for Yeosang to order pizza for him, throwing up, then going back to bed for the rest of the night.

Yeosang let it slide, letting Yunho believe that he had indeed made it through completely incident free.

“I think we all learned our lesson” Jongho said firmly from the back of the van. “Our lesson being that we all need to drink more so we aren’t such light weights next time.”

“Next time…?” Hongjoong replied, his face paling at the thought of it. “Uhmm, let’s put a pin in that.”

[greentrickster]

@yggidee​  Is Edgeworth taking up the mantle of Warrior of Light in this situation or is he just kinda... Hanging out? Or is this in a hypothetical post-story scenario with slightly less war and calamities going on

Edgeworth has the absolute joy of actually being in a double crossover in regards to the Warrior of Light business, as it happens! On the grounds that I decided to have him become a paladin for Aesthetic, but mechanically that means he’s a tank. 

My main character for FFXIV, the elezan Callyn Brightstar, does everything and is an absolute anime protagonist in this regard, but is also not, in fact, the protagonist, simply a companion Warrior of Light to the real protagonist, my friend Blue’s lalafell Lility, who is going to become the greatest Black Mage EVER. (Callyn is 900% invested in seeing Lility achieve her dreams, and one of our jokes is that Lility is the main character because Callyn said so, and everyone's scared to argue with her.) We generally play them as a healer/magical ranged dps duo... meaning that Edgeworth, as a tank, slots neatly into their party when he eventually stumbles into them.

Basically, Lility is the Chosen Hero of the Crystal, but Callyn and Edgeworth (and, I choose to believe, a handful of others) are at least low-key blessed by it, enough to keep them safe from the influence of things like the Primals. So Edgeworth isn't the Main Character or Protagonist but, as is his wont, has still been dragged into protagonist nonsense, in spite of his best efforts to keep his head down.

Side note, the hilarious in-universe reason Callyn and Lility found him is that I decided to give Callyn heterochromia when I made her, with the silly little bit of lore that her brown eye is her natural colour, and her pale green eye is magic and can see visions with perfect accuracy... but only of other worlds. Meaning it's an absolutely useless power. It was just a thing I personally thought was amusing, that she can tell you what Link's up to in Hyrule or check in on Hallownest to see if it's fallen to ruin, but she can't do anything actually useful with it other than maybe use what she sees as inspirations for new stories or songs as a bard. I like the idea of Callyn having the absolutely OP powers and skills of a shonen protagonist, but actually being the supportive, slightly goofy sidekick of the real protagonist, it's fun!

Except now Edgeworth is here, from another world, and she actually knows who he is and believes his story of where he's from. This is the first and only time this ability of hers is ever going to be useful in her entire life, and I think that's beautiful.

Edgeworth, meanwhile, would absolutely like to be just hanging out in a post-story world, or at least a world where I wasn't still in the process of slogging my way towards Heavensward.

TL;DR: Edgeworth's not the main character in this AU, but he has gotten dragged into her party against his will by her OP bestie. So he's not alone and has allies/guides in this strange land, but at what cost?

Words: 44,525

Description: The question is obvious at this point. To die, or to ask Dazai for help? Chuuya is so choked by this question that his breakfast is lodged in his throat, unable to be swallowed. (Or, Chuuya would much rather die than let Dazai find out he has hanahaki disease.)

🗣️: keep in mind this is a translation of the og fic but don’t let this deter you cause it’s A MASTERPIECE- this same author translated another beloved fic called “the liars house” and they are both 🤌🏼- i’m not the biggest fan of hanahaki fics but this one is the exception- THE EXCEPTION

Dazai sighed loftily and turned around slowly. “Hey there, shrimp,” he drawled. “You lost, or am I actually stuck with you?” Motorcycle Guy dropped the two duffel bags he was holding.

Damn, you know how to speak my language. I'm onboard with a lot of those for many of the same reasons.

Nagito and Taka are a a lot of fun as a friendship for me. Because like, despite the fact that their views are fundamentally at odds ("talent is inborn and no amount of hard work can compete" vs "hard work is vital"), Nagito unintentionally represents a lot of what Taka admires. He IS actually a hard worker and very dedicated to stuff like housekeeping. And he's become smart enough to even rival Ultimates like Kyoko in their own field. I imagine this goofy push-and-pull where Taka's like "One day I WILL prove to you that you have value, Nagito!". To which Nagito's like "Wow, it would be such an honor to receive that kindness from the Ultimate Moral Compass, even though I don't deserve it". To which Taka just shakes his head with a smile and replies "One day Nagito, just you wait."

Nagito and Sonia are probably my favorite BroTP for both. I just love some of the fanwork people have done of the two having tea dates and discussing books, mysteries, and the like. IIRC it's implied that Nagito has skills as a linguist, so I like to imagine they play around with some bilingual silliness. Plus I kind of adore the headcanon that they're long lost relatives and just don't know it. Like maybe Nagito's grandma was a second/third princess (and aunt to Sonia's dad), who was also a Japanophile like her great-niece and became a runaway. After they later find this out, Sonia's all like "I am formally declaring you my official adopted brother".

Kamukoma is an interesting ship for me, in that I don't quite like a lot of the depictions of it. But when the right approach is taken I find it so fascinating. Rather than having Nagito as fawning and drooling over Izuru, I find it far more interesting when Izuru is kind of the embodiment of Tragedy-era Nagito's disillusionment with talent. Being kind of a disappointment. But at the same time a being he finds quite pitiable, and eventually relatable. The two seeing a strange kindred spirit in each other as being people screwed over by Hope's Peak and the world it created. As well as feeling like they've never really had any autonomy in their lives.

Komanami and Komazumi are together with Komahina in my personal top three romantic ships. Just so damn wholesome and comfy. The former comes with a kind of tragic appeal if you follow the stations of canon. Two people who never really had friends before Hope's Peak awkwardly bonding when Nagito decides to be a "training wheels friend" for the lonely Ultimate. Only for it to becomes something much deeper than either imagined before tragedy strikes. But can also be fun in non-Despair scenarios, like Fala's art has shown. Meanwhile with the latter, I think Mahiru's relative normality is actually a huge boon. The OVA heavily implies that deep down he longs for the comfort and safety of a normal life. Just something as simple as the two of them doing household chores together could make him feel so at peace. And of course a responsible partner that's eager to pitch in and help would probably appeal a lot to Mahiru.

Multi-shipping is a delight, lol.
