#mfg and i decided for him

[theweirdestroller]

Storytime with Blades!

So, I have watched Transformers One and fallen headfirst back into the Transformers fandom. Also- my sibling, @mfganonymous, and I had a riveting and insane conversation about Rescue Bots and the Aligned Continuity. So, I may be writing this for a while (i have the next part of the criminal au in the works i swear) Hope you enjoy Blades and his stories from school!

It had been a relatively peaceful time in the Omega Outpost, even with the addition of four new bots and five new humans. No one was on a mission, so all of Team Prime as well as the Griffin Rock Rescue Bots were all gathered together. Ratchet was typing away, imputing some information for new medical files for the Rescue Bots, Optimus was watching while idly scrolling through a datapad. The kids, plus Cody and his family, were all on the catwalk. Cody was chattering away about his bot friends and all the cool stories they had while the humans and remaining Autobots listened.

“Oh yeah,” Heatwave said, almost without thinking. “Blades has all those stories from back when he was in med school. You wanna share one?” This turned the attention from Cody to Blades rather quickly, but for once, Blades didn’t mind all the eyes on him. He had many tales from his time in school, and loved sharing them. He wasn’t exactly sure if he say that Ratchet was his old dormmate, given that he seemed to be the respected team medic for Team Prime, but any stories from their parties should be safe enough.

“Ooh, I do have a couple! One of my favorites, and Dani and Cody have heard this one before, but it’s always fun to tell! Anyway, back when I was in school, my roommate and I used to throw these parties on the weekend. Tests were rough and we needed a way to relax a bit, so there was more than a little high-grade at these functions,” No one noticed, but Ratchet had started listening more closely.

“High-grade?” Kade asked.

“Cybertronian alcohol,” Arcee responded.

“Uh- Yeah, that’s what it is! Anyway, that meant people were always overcharged at these functions,” Kade opened his mouth to ask again, but Arcee answered before he could say anything.

“Drunk. It means drunk.”

“Ahhh,”

“So- There was this one friend. Well- A friend of a friend, he was my roommates best friend. I mean- They were probably more than friends, but that’s a story for another time. So this guy was always at these shindigs, never saw him sober. Life of the party kind of bot. He was pretty crazy too. Oh, what was his name... Started with a O I’m pretty sure. O- O... Oh! That’s right, Orion Pax!” This had Optimus, who had yet to hear any of the story, far too entranced in his datapad, suddenly paying much more attention.

It went unnoticed by the Rescue Bots, but Team Prime were all- perhaps tense wasn’t the word to use, but they were all thoroughly invested now.

“Anyway, Orion Pax is there, like always, and another friend of a friend, Jazz, was there too. Jazz had always been a bit cheeky and loves messing with bots, within reason. Never went too far. But that time, he bet Orion three shanix for him to do a cartwheel.”

Across the room, Ratchet was trying to pretend he was still interested in his medical files. Optimus was trying to forget there was a time before he was a Prime.

“So Orion, obviously overcharged from the high-grade he had been drinking all night, took Jazz up on that. He was so shaky getting to his hands, and had such terrible balance. Jazz decided to try and help him up, so hoisted Orion’s legs up, but Orion couldn’t balance and next thing we know my roommate and I have a new hole in our wall, and so do our neighbors.” There was a moment of shock between Team Prime because surely this must be a different Orion Pax. Cybertron probably had plenty of them.

“Yeah. Orion was stuck in that wall for hours while we waited for emergency services. We were told not to get him out in case he was injured. Real funny, because even after that he continued partying with us. If he wanted more high-grade, or energon of any sort really, someone had to prop his head up for him to drink it properly,” Blades was laughing a bit, as were the kids and Kade.

“That is certainly a story.” Bulkhead said. “Quite a coincidence too, considering we have our own Orion Pax,”

Blades blinked cluelessly a few times.

“Really? Maybe they were the same guy,”

“I don’t think so,” Bulkhead said a bit skeptically. “Considering ours is Optimus Prime now,”

Blades turned his optics to Optimus. Who was standing next to Ratchet.

“Ohhhhhh,” Blades looked down at his pedes. “You’re right, no way they could be the same,” The Rescue Bot chuckled nervously before dismissing himself and walking over to Ratchet.

--

“Blades.”

“Ratchet.”

“What do you want?”

“You and Orion still together?”

“What do you think?”

“My guess is yes.”

“We were never together, Blades,”

“... Dang. I had a bet with First Aid that you would be conjunx after graduation.”

[supermarketbae]

Heyyy, I just found you and followed❤️ could I request a billy Hargrove x reader where they argue one night and so she goes and stays the night with Eddie and somehow billy finds out where she’s at and shows up in the middle of the night and is like fuck no she’s mine and then him and Eddie argue over her and whatever else you wanna add and end how you want ofc I’m just a sucker for jealous/ angry billy

Omgg!! Hello lovelyyyy! I appreciate the follow!! thanks so much for requesting!

anddddd i made a tiny ittyyy bitty tweak to this because I felt like a little bit of angst today (sorry in advance)

warnings: Jealous!Billy, billy thinks reader is cheating, yelling, slight* panic attack for Billy (idk not really but), fluff, angst, hurt comfort :)

Some Things, Will Never Change.

You were dreaming. You just had to be. In no universe would Billy just accuse you of cheating so blatantly. You thought you had gained his trust, but apparently, old habits die hard. "I can't believe you." Billy seethes pacing in the kitchen slamming the refrigerator door open. You winced, annoyed at the noise that echoed through the dim house, When you had got home from your summer job at the arcade, You decided to pay Billy a visit. You were starting to regret that decision. "Believe what." You spit out starting to get angry at the haughty tone he was using towards you. "You playing around." Billy says eyes narrowed. "Don't think I haven't seen you flirting with that FREAK Munson." Billy growls, throwing his soda can on the table. You sigh as it bursts, eyes following the trail of carmel liquid to the floor. "I wasn't flirting Billy, He came in searching for Max and her friends, he couldn't find them so he asked me." You grit.

"You know, asking like a sensible adult. Like you should be about this situation." You say eerily calm. Billy's anger lights up like a firework at the insult. "fuck off," he growls again. "Maybe if ya didn't parade yourself around I wouldn't have to worry." Your eyes widen at his vulgar sentence. "Shut up." Your mouth hangs open "William Hargrove, don't you dare act like you don't flirt with every single fucking girl in our fucking school. AND don't you fucking dare act like I don't fucking tolerate your dumbass shit." Your screaming now. Not one to back down from mistreatment from anyone, even your boyfriend. "Then for shit's sake leave if you don't like it!" Billy shouts at you seeing nothing but red. "Don't let the door hit you in your fucking ass on the way out either!" He roars as you grab your purse and slam the door hard on the way out.

Your tearing up slightly as you get in your car. Who knows how many miles above the speed limit your driving, but your route takes you to one of your closest friend's home, who also happens to be the cause of the argument... Eddie. Knocking on his trailer door you hear a drowsy "It's open" rouse from beyond the door. Eddie's honeyed eyes light up as you drag yourself in, but quickly dim noticing you're crying. "oh my god, sweetheart what's wrong?" you sniffle louder as he calls you the pet name Billy usually does. As he pulls you into his arms, you are reminded of how Billy's frame feels wrapped around yours, and you start bawling. The whole shebang. Complete waterworks in Eddie's arms while he tries to comfort you. "Billy-mfg-Billy hates m-me" You hiccup out.

Eddie smiles bitterly. "oh honey..." Eddie trails off not knowing what to say. "Can I just... stay here." You cut off his pitiful comfort attempt quickly, feeling like a burden already. Eddie fumbles on his words, scratching his head awkwardly as he nods "Shit-of course-uh-hell-I don't really have an extra bed or anything but I can uhm- sleep on the couch... yeah." You laugh softly at his ramble. "I'm not a princess Eddie," you sigh, "I can sleep on the couch it's fine, truly." you continue as you see a look of protest on his face. He shakes his head "I'm trying to be a gentleman here excuse you." Eddie grins boyishly, and you don't know why. It could be nerves. It could be the emotional buildup from tonight. But your heart leaps. swoons even. And with a sickening resolve, you realize Billy's argument had, unfortunately, made valid sense. However, shaking your head at the thought, you let Eddie drag you towards his room to pick out a movie to watch.

Eddie's company had proven beneficial to your mood. A mere hour into the movie and your mind was elsewhere, far away from the argument you had with Billy as you two joked about last school year, munching on various health deleterious snacks that were found in Eddie's fridge. "And then she had the AUDACITY to call me 'late for class' and told me that I had to retake the whole course!" Eddie yells in indignation as you clutch your sides from laughter. "You chose to come in through the window Eddie, what was she gonna do? tip her hat and say 'pip pip cheerio' while she was teaching about the American revolution?" You cackle as Eddie slumps back on the couch snickering. Your laughter cuts short as you hear the roar of an engine.

Billy's camaro.

You panic. How could you not. Here you were with the exact boy who had caused the argument. And you knew how Billy would react to such a turn of events. To put it lightly, violence would be involved. Before you can voice your fears however, Eddie's front door slams open. You try to scream as Billy in an angered blur hurls past you and starts throwing punches, tackling Eddie, who is cussing, to the floor. "STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM HER YOU SON OF A BIT-" Billy is cut of when Eddie lands a hard punch to his gut, grimacing as he wipes his bloodied nose. "Dude!" Eddie barks "You're so full of it you don't even know what SHE'S FEELING!" Eddie spins on you pointing trying to reason with him. "I don't even want her like that man. She's your girlfriend dude so how 'bout you BLOODY listen to her feelings maybe then she wouldn't come to me dipshit!" Eddie swears once more as Billy charges at him "SHUT THE FUCK UP!" he roars as he takes a winding swing. A sickening crack issues and Eddie falls to the floor holding his nose "Fucking shit Hargrove," Eddie pants from the ground.

You realize your crying when a sob lurches out of you. Hot, thick tears streaming down your face. God how you wished to be anywhere else in the world. far far far away. It's enough to take Billy out of his angered trance, as your breathing comes out in short pants. "leave him alone Billy. I'll come back with you. Hell I don't care, just stop hurting him." you say quietly turning to the door sighing. It hurt really. So much that you couldn't feel as you lurched your way to the car. As you opened the door to leave, you glance back at Billy who's staring wide eyed, almost a look of sickened fear on his face. His usual sun kissed complexion looked paled, and gaunt. "You don't deserve her Hargrove." Eddie's gravelly voice is the last thing you hear before you shut the door behind you and drive back to Billy's house.

You don't look to see If he follows you.

It's late. You knew that for sure. The sun didn't even seem to have set before you were engulfed in a night that matched your feelings. The rain was howling outside as you sat at the lamp lit table in a witchy town you wanted desperately to forget about. The only thing that was making noise in the house was the clock. The dull ticking was a comfort. A reminder to you that some things will never change.

A comfort. you remind yourself closing your eyes. Heaving in a breath you didn't know you were holding.

tick. tick. tick. tick.

It was those four seconds you would remember till the end times.

Those four seconds in which Billy came into the room, looked you in the eyes and then crumbled. Simply melted to the ground, back against the fridge. "I'm so sorry." he said simply. You show no sign of emotion as you are unchanging, and to be frank, unflattered.

As you stiffen.

he notices.

He takes into account that your usual happy, touchy, aura is gone. He realizes he's the one that caused this. He realizes that he could lose one of the only things he's loved. He realizes you could hate him. He realizes you probably do hate him. He realizes he might never feel truly loved again. He realizes that he will never love like this again. He realizes you have been one of the only people to truly care about him. He realizes he has told you his deepest secrets. He realizes how blank your usually love filled stare is. He realizes he hates himself for this. He realizes that it feels like his heart is being ripped out.

The last thing Billy realizes is that he's sobbing.

Crying harder than he's ever cried before. Crying so hard he's shaking. He can't breathe. Why would he want to anyway. Everything hurts. It hurts so so so so bad. He would rather suffocate than lose you. He's hiccuping and thinking of every single time he's done something wrong. It only worsens as he feels your hand rub on his back as you kiss his hair "Your okay my love, it's okay... you need to breathe for me darling... deep breaths." a hard shiver racks his body at your words.

"my love" you had said.

Billy doesn't believe you still love him.

"Please-I" Billy can't get the words out as his throat closes up, hoarse with pain and emotion. The pain increases as you pull him into your chest and he inhales your scent. It feels foreign and familiar all at once.

It feels foreign because he knows he might have to let you go.

"I-I- Don't deserve you- just- I'msorryI'msorry- I hate me so MUCH." Billy sobs into your chest. He flinches as he feels a tear run down his cheek. He's oh so vulnerable. Billy whimpers pathetically into your chest. He doesn't hear the sweet nothings you coo to him as you yourself let tears flow. He's broken. you both know it. There's nothing you can do about it except try to fix the boy in front of you.

And you are.

You're trying so hard to fit the puzzle pieces back together. Billy's breathing evens out as he notices he's not the one shaking anymore. It's you who is rocking him gently in your arms. His eyes flutter as your nails scratch gently at his scalp. "You deserve love Billy." his eyes roll slightly as he hears your honeyed voice. Your voice was addictive, he thought as the thoughts whirring in his brain start to slow. Billy is focusing on the steady beat of your heart. "Let me love you." Your sweet sensual drawl is back. Billy grimaces. Cringing at how much he feels for you right now. "You still love me?" His gravelly even voice startles you. It's deep, milky, and stoic. You would've never guessed he had even cried. "Always." You say pulling him closer to you.

"Forever." You ghost into the quiet room. A small whine graces Billy's parted lips at your words. You made him feel so good. "I love you." comes the deep reply. Billy is looking up at you. Icy darkened eyes concealed by his hooded eyelids. Your mind reels, you think you've forgotten how to breathe. You'd never get used to hearing that from him. It made your heart swell every time he would say it. every. single. time.

"I love you too." you say it full of meaning. It's like a promise. A promise to hold him for as long as he needs. A promise to be there when no one else is. A promise to simply love him. You don't think you could want to promise something more than this.

A calm, needed silence enters the room, as Billy tilts up his head to kiss you. You sigh into the kiss, wanting to get drunk on the feeling of his body against yours. The last thing you allow yourself to think about before you give in to the godly pleasure of Billy, Is the clock.

tick.tick.tick.tick.

Some things, will never change.

And you hoped to God, your love was one of them.

[bennettmaximoff]

Damon was incredibly protective and loving of Bonnie and ended up being her soulmate in the books, and the tvd writers thought “Hm, let’s make him a complete asshole to her throughout the entire show and hurt her at every given opportunity.” They took one look at how Stefan and Bonnie’s friendship was progressing throughout S1-S2 and decided to completely retcon it and started having him disregard her the same way everyone else did. You see, none of the main male characters were allowed to have actual meaningful connections with her because god forbid Bonnie be considered a potential love interest for them and not their self inserts. Damon can’t even tell Bonnie he loves her without them making sure to include “The same way Elena loved you.”

It’s the same reason why they didn’t have Bonnie attend the Mikaelson ball even though her being there made more sense than Matt or Caroline attending since the literal hostess was going to be siphoning her bloodline’s magic. She couldn’t be seen dressed up in a pretty gown like the other girls and dance with any of the male characters because again, god forbid Bonnie be held in the same regard as the other girls and ever thought of as a potential love interest for anyone besides throw away characters. It’s the same with Bonnie not interacting with any of the Mikaelson’s outside of her protecting the MFG from them. There are numerous connections between the Mikaelson’s and the Bennetts. Ayana Bennett was Esther’s mentor and seemed to be incredibly close to all her children. Abby desiccated Mikael, Esther wanted to use the Bennett Bloodline. Yet, not once are these connections explored. These could have potentially been some of the best storylines in the show, but that would have required the writers to not be prejudice and have biases towards certain characters.

But all this begs the question…if you’re going to make a character black or a poc so you can meet the diversity requirements, yet still neglect their character and use them as nothing but a shield to your white characters, then what is the point? Because I have no doubt that if they kept Bonnie’s race the same, she would have gotten the same opportunities as the other girls and wouldn’t be seen as just a mule. She would have still been poorly written, not debating that, but she would have been treated entirely differently by the writers and the fans.

[deadlyflames]

This is a playlist I made for a fic I'm working on to explore an au post 3x09 where Klaus actually reacts to the MFG recruiting Mikael to try to kill him. And things go down hill for everyone from there.

This is definitely a dark (kinda toxic) version of Klonnie, but I like dark ships ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[whateven333]

That line about katherine being a myth and a legend sounded ooc coming from kai katherine already is a overrated villain and we are supposed to believe he would have this respect for her over bonnie who killed the devil when all katherine did was use her whims to manipulate cade they had kai there why not just make him the villain over katherine

No clue why they decided to juggle Kai and Katherine at the same time as villains 😭 .They were a weird mashup imo

Though I think maybe they paired Kai and Katherine up on purpose to try and divert attention away from Kai x Bonnie, sort of like a "hey everyone look what about these two instead" -and certain people definitely ate that pairing up.

Kai and Katherine have pretty big personalities, Katherine's kind of a narcissist and Kai's...well, Kai. Even though they're both antagonists who are at odds with the MFG, doesn't mean they would get along and be this perfect pair, though it seemed that maybe that's what the writers wanted us to think about those two.

In fact, I think Kai's dynamic with Katherine would be a bit like his dynamic with Damon (not when they made Damon and Kai buddy buddy for no reason but like their initial dynamic through season 6) -like on paper Damon and Kai kinda seem similar in that they have a "devil may care" attitude, they can be tricky and they've got murderous tendencies. But they did not get along/ like each other.

Damon and Kai both like the sound of their own voice too much, they both like to be the one to be in control of a situation, -so it makes much more sense they'd likely be annoyed by eachother /dislike each other -so their season 6 dynamic made much more sense than when the writers switched it up to make them besties.

(In season 6 Kai and Damon seemed to best case scenario- only tolerate eachother or be sort of indifferent to eachother, there were also times they were outright annoyed/ hostile to eachother, also seemed like Kai said certain things on purpose in order to provoke a reaction from Damon and get him riled up- and it always seemed to work too lmaooo, I think Kai definitely knew how to push Damons buttons, it was light work for him lol -tho let's be honest Damon isn't know for his restraint)

--- I think Kai's dynamic with Katherine would also be sort of similar to this.

Also find it funny they tried to make Kai have some sort of relationship to other characters in season 8 -and imo they did not make sense for his character/ progression. Just seemed like they were avoiding having him interact with Bonnie as much as they possibly could.

Hi.

Today...im bored...so i wanted 2 tell u smth

(i used to make this as an vid but im lazy:v)

So yesterday JUST YESTERDAY YESTERNOON i mean yestrd at noon:v i. Sleep:) the end.

Jk its actually a pretty busy day theres a guest at my house so as a precious little dilligent child i lay on my bed n blank out (sleep) in my dream i spawn in a ✨fancy✨ bathroom with a tv in it!! (Yea thats y i called it fancy theres a tv) Like who tf put a fcking tv in their bathrm?!?! Anyway i look around, theres a shower, place to take a sht, a sink, well just like an ordinary bathroom (w a tv) n suddenly the tv turn on n play ✨clerance✨ i mean that one show yk? (Iykyk) i...dont really remember wats in it but it was smth terrifying abt a bathroom that looks like the bathroom im in!! So i get traumatized n ran away from that bthrm, outside was just like a black void, till i found a white door n open it n theres a skibidi- jk. Theres no skibidi its just a white school corridor with no window, just three white doors n a bench, i go to the 2nd door, cafetaria. Theres lot of people, talking, eating, just like an ordinary cafetaria, suddenly theres my dad, i was so scared that time;-; i keep following him so i wont lose him, he was so quite but idc i dont want to lost:'v i buy some candy n i said "yo dad, im going out, catch ya later" he js nodding as a yes, the i js get away from that place,i sit on the bench. eat my kendiy:)) then theres a girl that i never meet irl, lets just name her... drawer:), i dont really mind drawer so i js eat my candy peacfully, then my rl bestie came:D lets call her MOTHER FATHER GENTLEMAN- mfg doesnt say anything so i give her my kendie but she reject it:( so i continue eat my candy:) n then suddenly a huge BLACK beast (no dema, its not u) run to my direction n, i was so scared;-; drawer scream, mfg keep quite, n idk wat to do!! So reflex we hide under the bench, that creature still mad so we decided to hide on the three rooms, drawer go to cafetaria, me n mfg to the 1st door, we separate in two.... So i continue eat my candy:], that room was...very memorable.... My kindergarten classroom. It was verry crowded, teacher who is ignored, maniac laughing n screaming js pure chaos, i realize that the black creature could attack anytime, so i decided to lock the door, but sadly...the door was stuck omg we're fcked- i keep trying to lock the door, mfg...she...shes trash- n then from afar i see a girl w white dress n a long ahh hair is approaching my direction... God im fcked up- i kept trying to lock the door but it js wont happened i turn around to check mfg, the kids, the teacher they're all gone... It js me, mfg, n an empty whiteboard i was so panic but theres nothing i can do, so i open the door...let her approach me...n...grab her fcking neck, squzee it to death, in reflect i drag her out i found the exit, outside was my school yard (i still grab her by her neck btw) she keep screaming "BLINDD BLINDDd" so i open her eyelid so fcking wide, direct it straight through the sun, she keep screaming, i look to the sun too, theres a red text sayin "being" right next to the sun....

"Being sun? Wtf-" i woke up i check the clock its 1pm ah i forgot to say i sleep at 12pm so technically i js sleep for 1 hour wtf-

[iknowshocker]

What do you think would’ve happened to Kai if he never got captured by the mfg, sent to the armory, and sent to a prison world after escaping hell in season 8? As if his story was just left off at the karaoke scene

Side note: I always found it so interesting that the first time he has no agenda or threats and can do whatever he wants, he just goes to a small town karaoke bar and pretty much just keeps to himself (and Yelp) until Stefan shows up lol

no this is what i'm saying, anon, everyone acts like he's this evil genius mad man (and like he is but he's also relatively harmless when you don't get on his nerves) that needs to be stopped at all cost and 9/10 times he's just minding his own business bopping around. post-merge he literally spends a handful of days just dealing with his new weird emotions, writing a letter to jo, finding a place to live, and shopping 🙈 oooh so scary, he bought new jeans! look out - now he's eating fries at the grill!

so i think if the mfg left him alone and didnt kidnap him he would have probably just taken some time to mess around and day drink, and then after the novelty of being out of hell wore off he'd start deciding what he wants to do next. if we don't change anything from s6, then he's got no living family, the coven is gone, and he's basically on his own. he has to start over. there's some fun in that, he can do anything he wants and now he's immortal and stronger and faster and he's got these cool fangs - but also i imagine it would be really lonely. sure, he's used to being alone, but i think the part of him that wants connection would start to be hard to ignore after a little while.

i desperately wanted him to get to be a coven leader so i like the idea of him collecting witches, i would accept him going off and coming back with like 2-3 new people and being like "loooook guys i built a coven!! picked this guy up doing tricks in vegas, this girl here was kicked out of the house so obviously we brought her home with us, and this one was actually killing people but don't worry we spoke about it and agreed murder is only allowed in certain situations-,"

s8 kai is still fixated on bonnie, so i'd assume he would either start texting/calling her or risk it and go to town to see (bug) her. maybe he wants her to join the coven, maybe he went to her first and she said no because they can't be a coven of two so he went and recruited more to be like "oookay bonster now it's a coven of 5 what do you say??"

i would hope that something could come of their relationship and even if it's not expressly romantic they could get to a point where he would help her with the hellfire arc. i mentioned in another post that if they had two witches, someone could handle the hellfire in the armory while someone else held katherine in place inside the tunnel with a spell.

i would write it so that bonnie is afraid to leave him with the boys, and he has to assure her he's strong enough to handle them and it would be this tense moment of goodbye:

"go-"

"i don't want to leave you!"

"bon come on i'll be fine, just go we don't have time for this. worry about me later tho it's kind of cute-,"

"okay okay, shut up, i'm going-"

(alternatively i would accept "hey ... be safe" "i will" and then the boys picking on him lmao)

and then instead of passing out she'd race back down the tunnels to check on him. she would get there and see the boys first and have a moment of thinking they turned on him so she thinks kai was sucked into the fire and he gets to watch her freak out about him being gone for good and then he could pop out and be like "don't worry bb not even hellfire could keep me from you 😉" and she'd yell at him for letting her think he was hurt but then they'd hug and he'd be like "...worth it" lmao

i just !! want my boy to be happy. we get such a brief window of time where he's himself, with magic, free. so he could honestly do literally anything other than get trapped in a third freaking prison world and end up having a relationship with a vampire teenager and i would enjoy the hell out of it 😂

[leianaberrie]

I’ve seen you and a few others say Damon should’ve been the big bad of tvd. Let’s say that was the case and the gang agrees he needs to be killed. In your opinion who do you think would’ve been best choice to kill Damon from a character/story perspective?

Stefan, Seth Gecko style?

Sarah Salvatore?

Matt Donovan?

Caroline Forbes?

Bonnie Bennett?

Elena Gilbert?

Jeremy Gilbert?

Enzo?

Damon did terrible shit to all these characters in one way or another, so I feel like any one of them killing him would’ve had some weight to it.

Which one would you have chosen to do the deed if you were the writer? Or would you have some other way of ending his arc?

I've thought about this a lot and in this alt-Season 8, I would have everyone but Stefan play an active role in taking Damon out. Like the MFG will come together, decide he has to die and come up with a plan. Basically Masquerade Ball but instead of Katherine, it's Damon that they're going to kill. It's a plot that will span at least 5 episodes, basically building up to the finale. In the usual way these things go, nothing goes exactly as planned, and they all have to improvise and deal with some people maybe getting cold feet. Then the worst spanner in the works will be when Stefan finds out that they're planning to murder his brother and becomes a one-man Rescue Team to save Damon. He gets in the thick of things, right where he needs to be to help Damon escape.

Then he walks away. Like he'll basically be at the door of Damon's cage/cell with the key in his hand, and bodies of all the friends he hurt to get to Damon, and he's looking at Damon for a long time. And Damon - who was grinning a second ago - because Baby Bro had come to save him... will take a moment to understand what's happening. He'll make his funny jokes, he'll make his not-so-funny jokes. He'll curse, he'll swear, he'll try to guilt trip Stefan by reminding him all the ways he's helped him in the past, and how it's really all his fault that Damon was a vampire in the first place. He'll go completely berserk and start screaming his fears, then cursing Stefan out and telling him all the ways he's hated him. This is the point where Stefan slowly turns his back and walks away.

The other MFG slowly pick themselves up. Bonnie's been away - which was why Stefan got as close as he did - and she bursts in now, ready to kick ass to see Damon still in his cage. By now, he's shell-shocked and resigned to his fate. By this point, how they kill him is almost irrelevant, but I think a good old bonfire is best. His ring has already been taken away, and the cage has a skylight. When the sun rises, there's nothing left of Damon but ashes.

====

So yeah, I guess in my perfect ending for TVD, Stefan will be Damon's murderer in the sense that he's the one person who could have saved Damon and he makes a conscious, deliberate decision to leave him to die.

[kmze]

If you could rewrite the tvd finale how would you do it?Prompt: Alaric perishes in fire.Matt mysteriously disappears and is never heard of again.

Okay Anon I like it! At first I thought about being boring and just saying "Stefan doesn't die Damon does" but where's the fun in that when I can give myself basically everything I want :)

I will stick with the main premise of the finale with some tweaks:

Elena woke up when Bonnie's heart stopped and she was in limbo, in order to protect Elena from Katherine she goes with Ric, Caroline and the twins out of MFG while Bonnie, Damon and Stefan stay back.

Bonnie's dimension does not collapse when she temporarily died.

Bonnie has her plan with hellfire to destroy Katherine, she tells Defan together and they have the same fitting argument about who sacrifices themselves. Damon compels Stefan but he's on vervain.

Instead of taking the cure out of his system he gets his old trusty vervain needle and stabs Damon with that to overpower him, ready to sacrifice himself.

While Bonnie is channelling her magic to control the hellfire she ends up resurrecting Enzo in the process. She is as powerful as Cade was and like him she can create creatures, when Enzo is resurrected he becomes a Guardian (these are in the TVD books).

Stefan and Katherine die in hellfire BUT Stefan is sent to Bonnie's psychic dimension where she meets him. Now that Enzo is resurrected she forgives Stefan and resurrects him for Caroline. Stefan becomes a Guardian as well. I think it would be fitting to make Stefan a Guardian because there was so much "angel" imagery/talk with him. Called his Mom an angel, Katherine, the angel in the B&B with Caro and even his funeral had that big ass angel statue.

Since the cure has been destroyed Damon has no way to turn human, he decides he needs to let Elena go to give her the human life she always wanted. He compels away her memories of him, Stefan, Bonnie and Caroline. Matt decides to leave with Elena, he promises he'll make sure she never comes back here to keep her safe. They get married because Matlena endgame was always the correct choice.

Stefan and Caroline convert the boarding house into a school for the girls and others like them. Bonnie, Enzo and Damon help as well even though Damon pretends he's doing it reluctantly. Bonnie at one point drags Damon and Enzo around the world with her to learn more magic and become even more powerful. Up to me I'd make this eventually turn into a Bamenzo throuple but YMMV.

Stefan and Caroline travel the world for a year looking for supernatural kids but also to enjoy their honeymoon.

Ric dies of alcohol poisoning two years later, Josie bonds with Stefan through her grief over her Dad they have a great Step-Father/Daughter relationship.

I'd also keep Hayley and Klaus alive and eventually they have a group chat with Stefan and Caroline and gossip about their daughters' love lives (I saw this idea somewhere and loved it lol). Klaus takes turns hitting on Stefan and Caroline depending on his mood (they may or may not have a threesome...)

EVERYBODY WINS THE END!

[beansprean]

Weird ask but how often do you cycle out Nandor’s outfits for MFG and QTP? Is there a reference sheet I don’t know about lmao

KJFDFKDKSDI should there be

there is method to the madness with QTP where it's like oh its concretely a different day so the fit is different. with MFG i pretty much put him in diff outfits between scenes bc i get tired of drawing the same one over and over lmao (or bc I want him in a plainer/more ornate fit for symbolism or practical reasons). the timeline for MFG is super loosey goosey so one can just assume a day or two has passed or that they decided to wear 3 outfits that day lmao

Pilot Episode: A Break From Patrolling

Sergeant Hank Voight x Abigail Barlowe (asian ofc)

Summary: Abigail Barlowe and her patrol partner Tyrell Johnston uncover an interesting drug bust and sergeant Hank Voight asks her to help Intelligence out.

Warnings: canon typical violence, mentions of racism and neo nazi's. Some indecent language.

Wordcount: 4.1k

Masterlist // fearless masterlist // season 1 masterlist

I have been faced with many things during my time on Patrol. Me, Abigail Barlowe, has seen it all. It shaped me as an officer. However, this is new. 

Having a gun shoved in my face doesn’t make me think a lot of things, but there is one matter about the situation that bothers me: the sheer audacity of this lowlife to pull out a gun and point it at me.

I hold up my hands, knowing damn well I have to play an act now. Like I’m afraid, like I don’t want to die.

Sure, dying is not necessarily on my to do list for today, however I’m everything but petrified. This man, with the five ‘o clock shadow, the cuts on his bruised up face and the ash blondish hairs, is not going to shoot me. His hand is slightly shaking, he is blinking with his eyes a whole lot and his breathing is inconsistent.

This man is nervous, not about to kill me.

Sure, he shot at my partner, but I highly doubt that was masterfully aimed. I suspect it was an anxious shot. 

‘Listen,’ I say, ‘my partner is over there and he is unconscious, so I need to help him.’ 

He swallows hard, before clenching his jaw.

‘I know you don’t want to kill me,’ I say, lowering my hands carefully and slowly. 

‘Don’t move,’ he says breathlessly. 

I’m thinking about my next move. What approach should I take? A loving and kind one or one that resembles more something in the tough love (which in my case means, just plain insulting)?

‘Killing a police officer will be the most stupid thing you’ll do today and that bar is already so painfully low, considering you have done quite the dumb stuff already. Stashing drugs? Stupid. Stashing drugs for other people, hoping to get paid? Even more stupid. Trying to shoot an officer? I don’t even have words to describe the stupidity.’

I’ve decided to use the tough love a.k.a. insulting strategy.

‘Shut up!’

He’s too aggravated to look at me, to actually consider pulling the trigger. So, this is my moment. I only have one shot at this, so I better make it worth while. With lightening speed, I undo him from his gun and kick him down. He lands on his back and I now pull the gun on him.

The son of a bitch made me hand over my gun and because I had not quite made an assessment of the situation, I did what he told me to do. Pointing his own gun to himself, is oddly satisfying. 

‘Well sir, you have outdone yourself,’ I tell him. ‘I’m almost starting to feel sorry for you.’

‘Don’t shoot,’ he begs. ‘Please don’t shoot!’

‘Do something idiotic and I will.’

Right at the time I want to say something more (believe me, I’ve got plenty to say), the door opens with a loud bang and I hear someone announce themselves as: ‘Chicago PD.’

‘In here!’ I yell. ‘I’ve got one.’

‘Antonio, cuff him,’ I hear that familiar raspy voice I catch during work hours from time to time. Antonio does what’s asked from him. The paramedics are already looking at my partner Johnston, so that’s one thing less to worry about.

With my hand on my belt I walk up to sergeant Voight. ‘Hi sarge,’ I say. ‘Got his weapon right here. A Standard Mfg. S333 Thunderstruck Revolver. Never in a million years would I have thought I’d be holding one of those.’ I hand him the gun and say: ‘Son of a bitch made me give off mine. It’s somewhere here.’

‘Can you tell me what happened?’ sergeant Voight asks me.

‘We had complaints about loud music. Nothing special at first glance, but it was the fourth one in a row, so we responded to it. Checked it out, bumped into mister Genius over there, who shot at my partner Johnston in the vest. He held me under gun point, I gave up my weapon and Johnston’s. Not much happened.’

‘His gun ended in your hands. Tell me about that.’

I can’t help but smirk. ‘It all happened so fast. It’s a real shame you weren’t here a few seconds before. Think of all people, you would truly appreciate me snatching a gun from someone.’

He nods. ‘Real shame. You go to your partner. We’ll secure the scene.’

I jokingly salute to him, before making my way over to Johnston. ‘You better don’t die on me,’ I tell him.

He flashes me a smirk, his pearly white teeth framed by his full lips. ‘I got shot and you tell me what to do?’ He chuckles. ‘You’re quite the gal, Barlowe.’

‘Come on, you got shot in your bulletproof vest. You lost consciousness because you hit your head on the floor, you idiot.’ I try to look stern, but fail miserably. I place my hand on his cheek. ‘You’ll be alright, ‘kay? Can’t lose you.’

‘Ew, that’s sentimental,’ Johnston says. ‘Therefore disgusting.’

‘It’s never good enough for ya, is it?’ I joke. 

‘We’ve got to take him to Med,’ the paramedic tells me. ‘Bulletproof vest did its job, however this is a nasty bruise. Probably his rib.’

‘Well, take his ugly face,’ I say. ‘I’ll come and pick him up later.’

He makes his way over to the gurney and the son of a bitch even enjoys the extra attention. I can’t help but roll my eyes. I watch Intelligence taking over the scene and plant my hands on my belt, taking it all in.

The infamous sergeant Voight walks up to me, holding up my gun. ‘Is that yours?’

‘Yeah,’ I say. ‘The one and only.’ I take it and say: ‘Thanks.’

‘How’s the partner?’

‘Bruised his rib or something.’

‘Well, once you get down back at the precinct,’ he says, ‘finished up the paperwork, I’d like for you to come up to Intelligence.’

My eyes enlarge. ‘For real?’ I ask, a bright smile plastered my face.

‘For real,’ he says. ‘But go be with your partner now. I’ll see you back at the station, Barlowe.’

✧*̥˚🔎🔎🔎 *̥˚✧

‘Guess who can go up to Intelligence after I drove your sorry ass home?’ I singsong the second I can go into Johnston’s room at Chicago Med, who is already getting dressed again, a huge plaster on his ribcage. The doc told me it’s nothing severe, but my partner Tyrell Johnston has to get home and rest for at least two weeks. 

‘Hm,’ Johnston says, pretending to think long and hard about it. ‘Wild guess, but you?’

‘You must’ve been valedictorian of your year, because you, my friend, are absolutely right!’ I hold up my hand and am on the receiving end of a high five. ‘Sergeant Voight told me I get to come up. Isn’t that absolutely exciting?’

‘It is,’ he says, buttoning up his shirt. ‘Maybe this’ll be your chance to become a member of Intelligence. I know how that has been a dream of yours for many months now.’

I smile. ‘Let’s not get ahead of ourselves, okay? It’s probably just a one time thing.’

‘Nah, it’ll happen, especially if you continue to show everyone you are Intelligence material,’ Johnston says, wincing as his fingers brush against his painful bruise. ‘Besides, the sarge really likes you.’

‘He does not,’ I retort after I scoff. 

‘Let me rewind,’ Johnston says, as he slides off the hospital bed, buttoning up his shirt. ‘He never ignores you, you’re the only one who can talk normally to him, without having to raise his eyebrows in annoyance and he compliments you every time he gets the chance.’

‘He complimented me a few times,’ I respond, as the two of us make our way towards the elevator. ‘Besides if what you are saying is true, you have to work with another partner. I don’t think I can leave you. Look at the dumb shit you do when I’m around babysitting you. Imagine the ludicrous crap you’ll pull when I’m not around.’ I press the button for the elevator. 

When we step into it, Johnston places his hand in the back of my neck. ‘I’ll sure miss your kind nature.’

Without saying another word, the two of us make our way to the patrol car. ‘Look, Johnston,’ I say, before I turn the key in the ignition. ‘I really like working with you and if it were up to me, it be a where you go, I go type of work relationship. But you love patrolling and narcotics and I love Intelligence. Whatever is going to happen, I will always support you. Okay?’

He chuckles. ‘Geez, so sentimental.’ He holds out his fist and says: ‘But I love you, Barlowe.’

I smile. Tyrell and I have been partners for almost three years now. We’ve been through a lot, the two of us. His wedding, my first real adult apartment (one I didn’t have to share with five other girls) and other troubles and festivities. ‘I love you too, Johnston,’ I say, bumping his fist. ‘Now, I’ll get you home, listen to your wife screaming about how irresponsible you were, swoop in and tell her how I saved the day and then I’ll go to Intelligence.’

‘Evil streak you’ve got,’ Johnston says, as I start the car. ‘I cannot believe you enjoy to see me suffer like that.’

‘There is something so beautiful about seeing arguments in domestic setting fold out like that,’ I note. ‘Especially when you’re involved.’

After I dropped Johnston off at home, witnessed indeed a lovely argument between him and his wife Elizabeth, I make my way over to the front desk. ‘Good morning, sergeant Platt,’ I say with a smile, placing my underarms on the desk, standing on my toes, because I’m a little too small to peak over it.

‘I heard miss Karate Kid saved the day again,’ the sergeant who invented sarcasm says, without even looking up from her work. 

I am used to it by now. Besides, I’d be worried if she was actually nice to me. ‘Can you buzz me up?’ I ask. ‘Sergeant Voight wanted me to come up after I brought Johnston home.’

She now looks up. ‘I’ll indulge you for today, but that is only because Voight actually told me this himself.’

I feel oddly satisfied. ‘Thank you, sergeant.’ I dig into my pocket and pull out her favorite candy bar. ‘For my girl.’

She cocks an eyebrow. She appears unimpressed, but when I make my way up the stairs, she buzzes me in and I can see she has already confiscated the candy bar and is taking the first bite from it.

By the time I’m upstairs and enter the bullpen, Antonio holds out his fist. ‘There she is,’ he says with a smile as I give him a fist bump. ‘How’s the partner?’

‘Bruised rib and a broken ego after his wife told him off. Other than that, he’s good,’ I tell the crew. ‘What’s up, guys?’

Everyone holds up a hand and quick hello’s are exchanged. Voight beckons me and I follow him to his office. ‘We’ve got a problem,’ he says, the second I close the door of his office. ‘The man we brought in, he ain’t talking.’

‘Oh,’ I say. ‘Now what?’

‘How about you talk to him?’

That is quite the assignment. One I had not expected. I figured I was going to assist and this seems more than assisting. 

‘I can do that,’ I say nonetheless, trying to appear like I am confident in myself. Like I always do this. 

Like I’m part of Intelligence and this is what I do. 

‘You got regular clothes on you?’

‘I do.’

He nods towards the door. ‘Get changed and meet us at the cage.’

I heard a lot about the cage, but now I am able to see it in real life, which is quite thrilling in all honesty. ‘And what do you expect me to do there?’

Voight shrugs. ‘I don’t know. He seemed pretty terrified of you when we cuffed him, so I think you can figure something out.’

I nod. ‘I can,’ I am quick to say.

‘Off you go,’ he says. ‘And get rid of the ponytail. Okay?’

Not quite sure why, but who am I to ignore what appears to be an order? ‘Okay, sarge.’

I exchange my blues for a loose fitting pair of jeans—a 90s fit—and a black shirt. I pull out the scrunchy and let my hair fall over my shoulders. I run my fingers through the locks, trying to tame the curls. Thankfully I carry around some curl cream and after I damped my hair a bit, I scrunch it in. On my black sneakers I make my way to the cage.

‘Listen,’ Voight says, who is already waiting for me near the entrance, ‘when I tell you to stop, you stop. Make sure you do not ruin this, because I don’t know when you’ll get another shot, ‘kay?’

Realizing he is pretty damn serious, I nod politely. ‘Got it, sir.’ 

He nods towards the cage and I am quick to make my way over. ‘So, Albert Einstein,’ I say, opening the door of the cage. ‘Heard you weren’t sharing your name and why on earth you were even there to begin with.’ She leans against the frame. ‘Pretty stupid, you know?’

He blinks his eyes in a nervous pace.

‘But, we already concluded back at the lot you weren’t the most experienced criminal, so that’s no surprise. You’ve got two choices. One, you’ll rot in a cell, be miserable for a crime you didn’t commit. It would be stupid, but that fits right up your alley with the course of today’s events. Or, you tell us what we want to know, therefore be less dumb than the previous hours and make sure you’ll be useful for the first time today.’

I plop next to him, allowing ten seconds to go by, but he doesn’t tell.

‘Listen,’ I continue to say. ‘I think you are able to be a good guy. I mean, you shot my partner, but I think you just got scared. You could’ve shot me, but you didn’t. You gotta a heart, man.’

‘If I tell you, they’ll kill my family.’

So, he’s got a family. We’re getting somewhere. ‘Then be reasonable about this. If we don’t know your name, who your family is, then we don’t know who to protect. They are going to figure out sooner or later you screwed up.’ I place my hand on his shoulder and feel he’s tense. Insanely tense, that must hurt a lot. ‘Give me your name, the name of your family and the people who put you up to this and we can help.’

He doesn’t say a word. It stays silent for a second, but that second turns into five and then ten, so I stand up.

‘Or be brainless and foolish,’ I say, grabbing the door. ‘We found a lot of heroin. We could charge you, instead of the real guys behind this.’ I turn around the lock and want to make my way over to sergeant Voight, who’s leaning against the wall, his arms crossed in front of his chest.

I barely can tell whether or not he is even impressed in the slightest with what I did. I think about what Johnston told me. I realize Voight does give me compliments and I rely on those to know whether or not I did my job well, because this man has the world’s best pokerface.

Remind me to never play poker with him.

‘His name is AI,’ the man says. ‘And he has my family.’

✧*̥˚🔎🔎🔎 *̥˚✧

‘Our offender’s name is Randy Richards,’ I say. ‘Thirty nine year old college professor. No priors whatsoever. His wife Tara and fifteen year old daughter Daisy were kidnapped, after Randy accidentally saw a drug deal unfold when he was about to meet up with his mistress Georgina Dolores.’

‘Minus the affair, Georgina Dolores is also squeaky clean. She’s a TA at the same college,’ Jay Halstead continues. ‘We’ve got Atwater and Ruzek bringing her in.’

‘The guy who’s behind all of this, is AI,’ I say, pointing to the picture of the blonde Arian looking man. ‘His real name is Alan Irving. When Alan isn’t knee deep into his heroin side business, he and his Neo Nazi pals are terrorizing people of color.’

While I am well aware of the racism that appears to be almost written in some people’s DNA, it still pains me to see that there are plenty of Neo Nazis here, meaning plenty of dangerous—mostly—men terrorizing people of color.

And it doesn’t help that Tara Richards is African American, meaning Daisy Richards is mixed raced. It appears like we all realize the urgency behind this deafening silence. If we don’t move fast, who knows what happens to Tara and Daisy. 

Voight is quick to divide the tasks among the others. Diving into Alan Irving entire life, dissecting the life of the Richards family, when Georgina Dolores gets here, interview her. ‘Barlowe, follow me,’ Voight says to me, already halfway down the stairs. I quickly grab my jacket from the chair and rush after him.

‘What are we going to do?’ I ask, as I follow him through the iron doors, trying to put on my jacket. We’re already near his car and I still haven’t gotten an answer. ‘Sarge?’

‘Meeting a CI,’ he says. ‘And you’re coming with me.’

I get in the passenger’s seat of the car. ‘Okay.’

‘You got CI’s?’

‘I know a few people, sure, but it’s not like official or anything.’

He nods, but that’s about it.

‘Is there a reason you allowed me to join Intelligence today?’ I ask, allowing my curiosity to take the overhand. 

He drives like I expected him to. Impatient, quick. Within no time we’re off the lot and on the road. ‘Figured I could use you for questioning Richards,’ he notes. ‘Figured correctly.’

Is it going to be a one time thing? The question is right there at the tip of my tongue, but I swallow it.

✧*̥˚🔎🔎🔎 *̥˚✧

The CI Voight is going to talk to, isn’t too keen on the sergeant having a non-white girl with him, though he claims he’s out of the Neo Nazi life and is a redeemed man. 

I have issues believing he is totally redeemed, because that stink eye he just gave me, almost did something to me. 

I originally listened to the name Abigail Saputra, but after my parents were killed when I was only twelve years old, I moved into a foster family. The Barlowes took me in and when I was eighteen, I took their last name.

When I was younger and still lived with my parents, people said I was a perfect mix of my American mother and Indonesian father. The thickness of my hair is inherited from my mom, the curls are my dad’s. The lack of height is my Indonesian side of the family, my large hazel  colored eyes more my American part of DNA. I completely inherited his brown skin color, which is visibly unsettling for the CI.

I stand behind sergeant Voight, who is currently in the middle of threatening the CI, as he holds him over the edge of the building. While it might not be very ethical, I am not doing anything to prevent it. This fits my own personality and my way of policing better. Being stuck with the voice of reason of the department—Johnston—I am often pulled back from the suspects. Johnston is a sweet man, but very polite. 

Too polite in my opinion. I have more of a temper and I can lose it fairly quickly if you push the wrong buttons.

I personally think I can learn a lot from Voight, because while our tempers might be identical, our ways of dealing with said temper are worlds apart. 

‘He’s in a lot,’ the CI screams. ‘2448 W 24th Street!’

‘That’s like ten minutes from here,’ I note. 

With a lot of force, Voight drops the man to the ground. ‘You know, one foul move and you’re back where you came from,’ Voight lowly threatens him. ‘Come on, we’re going. Tell the others.’

✧*̥˚🔎🔎🔎 *̥˚✧

Waiting is hard. My leg is impatiently moving up and down, as I’m strapped in my bulletproof vest, sitting in the car next to Voight. My hand is already resting on my holster, reading to make a move.

‘I read in your file you are the impatient kind,’ Voight notes, as we are waiting. The rest is in position and checking around the building. 

‘Maybe,’ I say. 

‘Lucky you,’ he says, as he opens the door. ‘Come on.’

I will not have to be said that twice, because I nearly jump out. I pull my gun and together with the rest we circle the building. Despite being on patrol for quite some time now, sergeant Voight still pushes me behind him. I might not be on the job as long as these guys, but this feels like a punch in the gut. 

Like I’m not good enough. 

But there is no time to think about that. 

Atwater opens the door with a brute force and we all follow them inside. We spread out. ‘Chicago PD, hold up your hands!’

The two female hostages—Tara and Daisy Richards—have their wrists taped together, duct tape over their mouths. I’m quick to take cover when someone starts shooting, but it’s out of my shooting range, so there is no instant retaliation. 

However, another Neo Nazi with a gun is, so when I see him holding up his shot gun, I point and pull the trigger. Always shooting more than once, so I fire two shots and it causes him to tumble down. Two more shots and another one falls back. 

From the corners of my eyes, I see sergeant Voight having his own interesting way of shooting, but you know, if it works it works. 

It’s AI who has Daisy Richards hoisted up and puts a gun on her head. ‘I’ve got no problem killing a skank like her.’

While Alan Irving a.k.a. AI has reached the ripe age of forty five, his juvenile way of acting and his boyish looks, only add up to his immaturity level. 

I hold my gun pointed to him, just like everyone else. I hate this part, where the assailant has this much control. 

I hear sergeant Voight talk, trying to get some sense into his skull. It’s a smart move, having a white guy talk to a Neo Nazi. Daisy’s eyes however meet mine. The poor girl is scared to death, is having trouble breathing and the tears in her eyes are rolling freely over her cheeks. 

And then I hear the shot and it goes straight into the skull of AI. As the man drops to the ground, I push my gun in my holster and make my way over to the Daisy. ‘I’ve got you,’ I tell her, wrapping my arms around her. 

‘My mom?’

I look over my shoulder, to see Atwater helping her mom.

‘She’s going to be fine, honey,’ I tell her. ‘You both are going to be fine.’

✧*̥˚🔎🔎🔎 *̥˚✧

There are some Neo Nazi’s not among us anymore, a lot more heroin was uncovered and rolled into evidence and off the market. Randy Richards had a lot of explaining to do, because his wife and daughter had to know about his affair with the TA.

Other than that last situation, I can say all ends well. 

I enjoyed working here at Intelligence and I sure hoped I made an impression.

I’m called into Voight’s office, who leans back in the chair. ‘So,’ he says, ‘you did well today.’

‘Thank you, Sergeant.’ I don’t need to be a profiler to tell what’s on his mind. Therefore, I offer him a smile and a nod. ‘I will report back to Patrol tomorrow,’ I say. ‘Thank you very much for the opportunity here. I hope we can work again in the future.’

It’s clear to me he is taking in my answer, trying to detect something other than professionalism. Sure, I’m very disappointed, but no way is he going to see that. What if he thinks I’m some spoiled brat?

‘Alright,’ he says. 

‘Have a nice evening, sarge,’ I say.

‘You too, Barlowe.’

Inscryption Kaycee’s Mod all devlog entries (#01-#12)

wondering if it’s too early to post them, but hey i already got them typed out, so... yeah

this post contains Major Spoilers for Kaycee’s Mod (obviously), don’t read ahead if you want to unlock the devlogs yourself

all of the entries have been transcribed into text for convenience

not unlocked -

<DATA CORRUPTED. FOR ANY QUALITY CONCERNS PLEASE CONTACT KAMINSKI DATA STORAGE MFG.>

#01 -

OK I need to write this down NOW so I don't go to sleep and tell myself I dreamt it.

I'm working late and testing the latest build and out of nowhere The Angler starts FREAKING OUT. Like he pulled something up out of the river with his hook then he GETS UP and WALKS. There is no walk animation for this character! WTF?! He walked right into the cabin. I followed him in and couldn't find him. Leshy had some new dialogue lines that I CANNOT FIND IN THE DIALOGUE FILE. He said something about some "OLD_DATA" and how The Angler served him well or something.

I'm so tired that I'm already wondering if I made this up.

#02 -

So I woke up and damn near lost my mind. I tried to recreate that bug with The Angler over and over and nothing weird was happening. Then I realized I was testing on a different disk! So I popped in the same disk as last night and HOLY SHIT. Leshy went 3D. What does that mean? I barely even know. Maybe I AM crazy. The entire game is different. Leshy took over and it's 3D. I don't know anyone who would listen to me about this.

#03 -

I've been playing this "new" Inscryption now for a few days. Work has been unproductive. I emailed some of the other devs - kinda probing to see if they know anything about this without appearing crazy. No dice.

The strange thing? The game is fun. Like it's actually a good game. But stranger still? Leshy. He talks to the Challenger almost as if he's talking to ME. It's freaky but not altogether unwelcome - I could use a friend.

#04 -

I scoured the disk last night looking for some kind of explanation. And I found some really wild stuff. It made me think... what is the OLD_DATA and why does Leshy only talk about it when he's wearing The Woodcarver's mask?

I found some log from Mr. Kaminski. It was pretty clear when I met him that the guy had issues... but he seemed to be saying in this log that the entire development of Inscryption was a cover. For what? How infuriating if true.

Time to start another run I guess.

#05 -

I'm addicted to Leshy's Inscryption.

It's far from perfect though. Some really unbalanced shit in here to be honest. I have my Ouroboros up to over a hundred thanks to the stupidly broken Fecundity sigil combo.

I decided that I'm going to work on making this balanced. And maybe a bit of an actual challenge? I'm making a mod! I wonder what Leshy will think.

#06 -

Work on the mod continues. I was appalled to find that Leshy chose to use the Kaycee Hobbes' ghoul skull as a trinket on his shelf. He fills it up with teeth for the Trapper after every boss... Kinda lame because it's tedious to keep getting up from the table just to collect the teeth. I'll have to hack that out. He'll hate me for it.

#07 -

Some nights I mod, some nights I dig. I dig deeper into this log file and find things I sometimes wish I hadn't. This isn't just some disk Kaminski used to vent his workplace frustrations. This is like some real shit.

Every once and a while I get some context from The Woodcarver and it's chilling. This could be all bunk... or there could be a doomsday machine under Berlin armed by a code hidden on a pack of cards.

In other words, I just finished implementing the Boss Totems challenge.

#08 -

I barely leave the apartment save for the odd dinner out with mom... but last night was an exception. I went to Comics Land to play a Secrets of Legendaria draft. Is it weird that I brought the disk with me? I felt uncomfortable being apart from it.

I ended up ripping a foil Sweaty Dragon but lost the first match to this weird dude who wanted to record it for his YouTube channel. Like he actually brought a camcorder on a shaky looking tripod to the shop! How is that allowed?!

#09 -

Today I found out what happened to P03... Leshy turned The Scrybe of Technology into a Stoat card. I found the card on a shelf below the safe and laughed right out loud when it told me it was P03 and needed help. I handed it over to Leshy who was less amused. I guess this is the fate that the other Scrybes met... though I haven't seen them yet.

#10 -

Last night I brought the disk with me on a walk around the seawall and was THIS close to just chucking it out into the water.

If I'm right the Karnoffel Code is still out there and the machine is, incredibly, still ready to accept it. Destroy the disk, no one finds the Code, and no one can blow up half of Europe. Right? But I saw an otter which made me think of Leshy. Maybe we need the Code to DISarm the machine? Could that be right? I can't be sure.

I went home.

#11 -

No one will ever play this mod and, the way things are looking, they might never even play this game. But I'm gonna indulge in a fantasy.

Thousands of players play it and love it. They each find different reasons to love it and even love its imperfections. They make music and art about it that makes me see my own work in a different way. But even a simple comment can have this effect. It makes me feel like all my work mattered and then some. I am overflowing with gratitude.

Well, time to finish up the Squirrel Fish challenge. Maybe I'll hit up Comics Land later.

#12 -

Call from Mr. Kaminski at 9:45 pm. What the hell is wrong with this guy? He wants all the sample disks back at the factory NOW. What does he know? NAH TICK MASS he kept saying.

I'm done with all of this but I can't bring myself to destroy this disk, I'm sorry. I've got a little wooden box and I'm gonna bury it with the disk inside. I'm writing the coords down and who knows maybe I'll burn them later. Leshy will thank me. The world may not.

Goodbye for now <3

Everyone watching their own trailer

A/N: So I've been thinking of actors AU for SnK because... anti-depressant purposes (a something before she goes back to angst writing)

And this timeline is when the trailer was released, and BEFORE the premiering of the first episode for the final season (and idk why I'm making this just now WHEN THERE'S LITERALLY 7 EPISODES FOR SEASON 4 NOW-)

@shytomatomato also made a light bulb light up in my head bcs she used that hot Ereh gif (srsly I can't stop laughing of the caption I love you for it <3)

~~~

Ok here you go LOL

~~~

So they're all actors and stuff (like what I mentioned earlier)

And since they can't go home until 8 or 9 (I think this is the regular time actors go home, but might be later or smth)

They all just finished with their shooting/tapings and decided to rest in the lounge when Sasha thought of an idea.

She was like, "Let's watch TV!"

Everybody thought of it as something to pass time by—they can't really sleep too due to how much coffee they drank earlier to keep them from looking like they're exhausted or smth.

Everybody went to the lounge (idk if studios have lounges, but let's assume) and all sat their a$*es on the couches lazily (their obviously tired and relieved they finished)

Connie turns the TV on and went to YouTube (smart TVs ofc)

And the very first video that popped was the trailer they made.

"Y'all wanna watch this?" He asked.

Everyone nodded in agreement since they haven't watched it yet, and only saw a glimpse of their scenes being edited, but not the whole deal

Also, they're caught up with the manga and as usual... Connie and Sasha would laugh at the memes they're making  (these 2 never looked tired at all)

The lounge had food, most of them spend their free time their or while they're on break (or they go to restaurants when they feel like it)

So they're now watching the trailer

And then when the first scene popped up, they were just "woaaaahhh" and then they looked at Falco—ended up laughing as he curled up from embarrassment

Then the music suddenly intensified—all of them watching in awe as their mouths fell agape

And when Zofia, Udo, and Gabi's scene showed up they were now curling up and Falco just joined the laughter.

Also Sasha is recording these moments (for her vlogs)

"OMFG ZEKE AND REINER!" Ymir pointed out and everyone started laughing.

Their reactions are just them smiling and looking so tired (HAHAHAHAHA)

"Wow!! Gabi looking so great there." Pieck beamed and took a glance at Falco who seems to be frozen and blushing.

"Porco and Pieck!" Sasha and Connie laughed—earning a small glare from Levi since he's too annoyed of their noises and screaming.

"#Falco and Gabi moment" Zofia smugly said when the headbutt scene showed up earning a glare from the two.

Then guess their reaction to the Reiner going down the stairs scene.

Yup, all are literally teasing Reiner and laughing at him—Sasha and Connie, the meme masters, are literally making so many memes about it.

"The gun was disgusting!" He hissed.

"wHy cAn'T yOU jUsT LeT mE diE?" Jean finally joined the teasing of the two bakas who can't take anything seriously (Connie and Sasha usually laugh during tapings and they had to take so many tries)

"The airship scene took us like 50 tries because these two won't stop laughing." Mikasa retorted—earning a pout from the two.

"LMAOOO JEAN!" Connie joked and Jean just went ultra glare mode, but Connie laughed it off.

"The Sasha and Mikasa scene, though-" Annie smiled as she drank her iced coffee she didn't finish earlier.

"Stop-" Mikasa curled up and hid herself from everyone while Eren looked at her and decided to poke her out of her trance—works all the time.

"Annie, look! It's Armin!" Historia laughed at the two who were now looking away from each other, everyone joining in.

"Levi!" Hanji looked at the shorty beside her who seems to be hiding on her arm—making everyone laugh.

And then... this scene.

The scene we all went crazy for.

THE EREN FLEXIN THOSE ABS- (we're getting off topic, ahem.)

They all looked at Mikasa while she was just a blushing mess, trying to conceal herself from all humanity. The image of the scene still in her mind—Connie pausing the TV to troll her.

Sasha smirked and called to Mikasa.

"Mikasa! The scene is over now!" And Mikasa did what she wasn't supposed to do. Believing her.

So when she broke out of her position, the first thing to greet her, was that image from the scene.

Before she could hide again, Eren unexpectedly pulled her close to him—the poor girl blushing even harder and them earning "oooohhs.." (The ones with the most ooohhss were Zeke and Armin)

"JUST PLAY THE GODDAMN THING!" She shouted while hiding herself on Eren's chest making Sasha laugh and do what she said.

"Yelena be praising the airships." Annie said earning a smirk from Yelena.

"It's my new religion." She remarked making everyone laugh.

"The trailer is so badass especially Eren who was staring at the green screen." Jean laughed earning a glare from him.

"Also Eren can't even take the "I hate you" part seriously." Zeke grinned at his brother who seems to be comforting Mikasa who's just a blushing mess, and muffled screaming.

"Now I wonder for the first episode" Pieck suggested and looked at the clock.

"We still do have time for 1 or 2 episodes." Zeke said and relaxed himself on the couch and wiggling his eyebrows at Eren.

Bonus: They watched the first episode with Sasha and Connie laughing at the people involved in it (srsly these two are the noisy friends you have when smth great happens)

~~~

A/N: I'd say this HC is soo bad and not well planned. Sorry for a disappointing HC. (Just me bluntly putting what their reactions would be ahahahaha)

Anyway I'd say I was Mikasa alone in my room when the Eren scene showed up.

Personally, I think Zeke and Armin are the founders of the EreMika fan club OwO (the brother ships it probably mfg)

Like I said, my crass and blunt way of speaking are all included in every HC I make.

And these are what my mind all said HAHAHAHA-

[beidousbunny]

Yeah, I decided to see how 50/50 goes since I'm 76 pulls in. If I win, great, if I lose, guaranteed Albedo here I come!

- 📝

AAAAA SO EXCITING!!! KEEP ME UPDATED!!

and albedo pls 😫🙏 after that dungeon event where you could play as him- MFG I AM CRAVING HIS ASS ON MY TEAM

[thehollowprince]

The Originals was a waste, New Orleans was whitewashed and so much was retconned just to make it work lol. Anyway, the spinoff should've been about Bonnie who has family roots in NOLA, the Bennett Coven as a powerful matriarchy + she and Tyler both go there to be leaders of their respective factions, and their interactions with Marcel and the supernatural politics and Southern Gothic aesthetics. But, I still want Tristan, Aurora and Lucien there + The Originals as antagonists maybe

Did Bonnie have roots in New Orleans? I don't remember that, but I never actually watched the last two seasons of the show so I could have missed something. I could have sworn early seasons said that Bonnie's ancestors (post Qetsitah and Ayana) were from Salem (probably an allusion to Tituba), though if I remember correctly, I thought the Martin Family (Jonas, Luka, and Greta) came from Louisiana originally.

All that aside, you're completely right when you talk about them completely whitewashing New Orleans. That city has a huge African-American presence, and we saw a grand total of maybe three or four characters that were black that had any prominent presence in the show? Everything else, including the city's founding being attributed to those viking vampires instead?

Yeah, I call bullshit.

And that's not even getting into the missed opportunity of the native Creole and Cajun populations, something that is unique to that area.

That entire show was a missed opportunity.

And I agree with you regarding Bonnie and Tyler. Hell, throw in Matt and Jeremy, too and we could have built up an entire show around those four, given their unique roles in the Mystic Falls Gang and how they were all criminally underused on TVD. Tyler in particular, especially given what we later found out about werewolves and their origins being in New Orleans. They could have very easily kept Klaus in Mystic Falls to creepily stalk Caroline and Stefan, while making a spinoff show about the supernatural community of The Big Easy.

Let's just set this up here...

The Originals started after season four of The Vampire Diaries, so after the MFG graduated high school. That right there would have been the perfect opportunity to do a clean break rather than keep the same group together after high school when generally everyone goes their seperate ways. So after graduation, Bonnie's still alive because fuck you, Plec! Jeremy's alive, too, and everything else is pretty much the same. Matt goes off on his Eurotrip with Rebekah to get it out of his system and Tyler has been exiled from his own home by Klaus' neurotic paranoia. What next?

Well, rather than everyone going to Whitmore for college, let's say that Matt was accepted on a scholarship to Tulane or something, actually give the poor boy a chance, so when he comes back from Europe he heads off for New Orleans right away. Or hell, even have him be an O'Connell, because by that point we still had no idea who his dad was, maybe even have him work as a bartender or something at Rousseau's. Let's say Tyler is already there, having been kicked out of his own home, exploring his ancestral roots and bonding with the local werewolf pack - we could explore what it means to be an actual leader of a pack (something Tyler did voluntarily rather than being forced into it like Hayley... werewolf queen, my ass). Bonnie goes on her road trip with her mother before hearing about the witches of New Orleans and decides she wants to know more about her craft so she heads there. And Jeremy, he left home because of his Hunter's instinct, chasing down rogue vampires that kill people for fun, hunting one to New Orleans. Maybe even have him explore the myth of Rayna Cruz.

So many possibilities!

Boom, we have four characters right off the bat, and can then introduce characters like Marcel, Vincent, Keelin, Jackson, Davina, Sophie, etc. We could get into the politics between the different supernatural factions of the city and see how they test the friendships of this people who have known each other since childhood, rather than have everything revolve entirely around the Mikaelsons and their borderline-incestuous drama.

I should be a showrunner. I'd do a better job coming up with a story than Plec or Narducci ever did.
