More blue family from Darkonesroses on AO3! A scene I imagined happening at some point in the story.

Y'all know the theory that Megamind landed on Earth in the late 70s? 🥲

Oh, was your society deeply egalitarian? Too bad, we don't do that here. Welcome to Earth!

@crazydreamer6 , should I make this AU a separate tag?

Daniel is so real for having Armand in freakazoid mode doing psychokinesis on him while altering his sense of reality and still react by offering to give him the suckatron 300 vaporwave super soaker two hand squeeze extravaganza

[wyvernquill]

The part of Daniel that was only very recently mortal is shitting his pants at the speed with which Armand winds their way in-between various cars, thinking of burning wrecks and metal in uncomfortable places - but the part of him that’s always been an adrenaline junkie and only got worse with immortality whoops in delight at another sharp turn, and even dares to take his hand off of Armand’s barely-there waist on occasion to flip off any driver cursing them out.

A quick illustration for ch.7 of my fic True Love (and other lies)! I just couldn't get the image of them on a Vespa out of my head.

[duriens]

hear me out. Daniel publishes his book - vampires all over the country want to take both him and louis out - Armand (fresh from his divorce with Louis) sweeps in and starts sticking to Daniel like a leech with the excuse that Daniel is in danger and he feels partly responsible (also he lost the object of his obsession desire and he feels lost, purposeless, who is his God now? which God should Amadeo love now?) so he starts acting as sort of a bodyguard ('chase' part of the book); Daniel is annoyed and worried and ill but also can't really have a voice in the matter cause Armand decided for him (Armand takes care of him even when he doesn't or can't) so when rockstar lestat decides to publish a book he goes to the same man who's already published one about vampires and demands for his truth to be heard (yes it becomes a biography and not an autobiography) ((yes it is STILL an interview with a vampire)) (((yes Daniel has once again an important role in psycholanalyzing and humbling these vampires))) and Armand is ofc very much there cause no way he'd leave his fascinating, ill boy alone with Lestat, he needs to take care of him (and once again overseer lestat's version and make sure he doesn't humiliate him utterly, dear God)

also at some point Louis is there cause, it's a reunion, man. at some other point the vampire Sam shows up

[sprolden]

people actually genuinely shipping eric bogosian and assad zaman is so revolutionary to me I think all rpf should be between a 71 year old man and some theatre twink. quit it with the 20 year olds from youtube and boybands. only this from now on

A few weeks ago, I decided I wanted dyable Constellation pants for my AST glamour, and went back into Eureka Anemos for the first time in over two years. Then, tonight I cleared Baldesion Arsenal and got my very own orb to ponder.

For multiple expansions, I had kinda given up on Eureka. I stopped at level 21 - just entering Pagos - when it was current, and wistfully watched others progress through the 4.x patches without me. It just started to seem like something I'd probably never go back to because it had "been too long" and I didn't have a dedicated group to go with. It seemed exhausting and intimidating.

But then something in me kinda just went "fuck it." I did it, and mostly alone. I relied on pickup groups and the friendliness of familiar faces along the way, and ended up joining CAFE for a newbie-friendly run of BA once I was finished with my new shiny weapon.

Moral of the story is: Do It Scared. Do It Anyway. Just get in there and shout.

I think Floofty and Triffany became friends over a shared passion in science but also a shared enjoyment of Facebook minion memes

The Crewel siblings are as different as black and white, but that doesn’t mean they don’t share traits. One of the villains had the unfortunate experience of being targeted by Yuu’s mom’s ire. She was just trying to check on her baby after news came back about a particularly nasty villain encounter. But someone just had to break through the wall of Yuu’s apartment at the time. Anita was trying to be a good hostage like her brother taught to, but this gentleman was starting to. Get. On. Her. Nerves. I personally enjoy the idea of her dragging the villain out the apartment by the ear, whispering in gene/mother given wrath that Yuu needs a break and to tell all the others of that too. Slamming the door in the probably sorely confused Baddy’s face and just returning to Yuu saying “We’ll just go out for tea, you said there was this family run bakery you haven’t had the money to try?” Yuu knows at this point it’s better to just smile and nod.

Thank you for the ask, dear anon!

Yuu’s not sure who’s rapping at the door this early. Is it early? It feels that way, like they only closed their eyes half a minute ago, returned from yet another kidnapping turned Prefect intervention to perform a quick and dirty patch up and topple face first into bed.

They barely have the wherewithal to pull on the shirt they somehow shrugged off during sleep, stumbling towards the door on shaky, coltish legs, hissing at the cold.

“Love the knocking on doors, guys,” They grumble as they undo their locks and latches. “Real improvement on breaking it down, but what could you need this—?”

“Good morning!” Their mother chirps on the other side of the door. “Goodness, I didn’t wake you up, did I?”

“…Mom?” It takes a moment of them blinking in stupefaction to realize yes, their mother is here, standing in the doorway. “Mom! I, ah, come in, come in, how, what…?”

“I hope now isn’t a bad time.” Mom says, stepping through the door with all her usual grace. “You did tell your father and I that you had today off, and while he’s got to take care of the puppies, I thought I could come down and check on how you were doing after what happened. You sounded a bit shaken up.”

“Mom, I’m fine, I promise. Heck, I end up tied to the tops of buildings so often now I’m used to it.” Yuu tries to smile unconvincingly, before darting a look around at the interior of their small apartment. “Uh…Sorry about the mess.”

“Oh, don’t be silly!” Their mother exclaims. “I didn’t come here to see your flat—I came here to see you, sweetheart. Anyway, it’s hardly as bad as your room when you were younger—remember when you were twelve and you’d just leave your worn-out slippers just lying around every time you got a new pair? And the pups would steal them for toys and we’d have to wrestle them back to throw away?”

“Mom.” Yuu groans, covering their face with their hands. “That was ages ago, and it wasn’t that bad! At least I’m better than Dad!!”

Their mother laughs and holds her arms out.

When Yuu goes in to hug her, she squeezes just tightly enough and whispers, “I’ve missed you so much, Yuu.”

Wrapped up in the warm embrace, they can feel tears begin to prick at their eyes, like they’re small and have just had their scraped knees bandaged and kissed.

“….missed you too, Mom.” They whisper, squeezing back fiercely.

Eventually, Mom pulls back, giving their shoulders a little squeeze. “Now, how about you go wash up and get dressed, and I’ll take you out for the day? I remember the pictures you sent over of those cute little tarts—”

Which is when the door explodes.

Yuu is momentarily thankful for the reaction instincts their time as the Prefect has made them develop, as they curl over their mother and twist her away to take the brunt of the wood shrapnel.

There’s a shadowy figure standing in what used to be the doorway.

“HUMAN!!” Banshee screeches. “MY LIEGE HAS GIVEN YOU THE HONOR OF REQUESTING YOUR PRESENCE!! COME!!”

Yuu groans as they straighten, trying to keep their mother behind them. “And you couldn’t knock?”

Sebek strides in, ignoring their question.

Silver Knight follows, but pauses when he catches sight of Yuu’s mom. “Ah. You have a guest.”

“HUMAN!” Sebek yells. “WE ARE KIDNAPPING THE REPORTER FOR THE MOST HONORABLE, MOST TERRIBLE SUPERVILLAIN OF ALL TIME, THE MIGHTY TSUNOTARO! DO NOT ATTEMPT TO WAYLAY US UNLESS YOU WISH TO INCUR THE WRATH OF HIS FINEST BODYGUARDS!!”

Silver shrugs in apology but grabs one of Yuu’s arms anyway.

“Ah, so you two work for one of the newer supervillains Divvy was telling me about!” Mom exclaims, ever the optimist. “I’m Anita Radcliffe, Yuu’s mother. It’s lovely to meet the two of you.”

Silver blinks at her, wide-eyed and attempts to bow back while not letting go of his stranglehold on Yuu’s arm. He’s worryingly good at it. “Nice to meet you. I’m Silver, ah. Silver Knight, henchman to Tsunotaro.”

“This one is known as Banshee! Bodyguard to the glorious Malleus-sama, the secret identity of the most noble and terrible Tsunotaro!!” Sebek proclaims. “Be awed, human!!”

“If it’s meant to be secret, why are you outing it at the first opportunity…” Yuu mutters to themself, trying to covertly shake splinters out of their hair.

“Ah, be careful sweetheart!” Their mother says, though she doesn’t come towards them like she obviously wants to, heeding Uncle Divvy’s Hostage 101 lectures. “You’ll get something in your eye by doing that—would you gentlemen mind if they cleaned themself up a bit? Made them more presentable for your…employer?”

Yuu is uncomfortably concious of the way every eye in the room rakes over their comfy, ratty, covered in debris, pajamas.

“…As expected of the one who raised the reporter.” Sebek chuckles. “Naturally, human, you must dress in your finest garments for a meeting with my liege! Nothing less will do!!”

They pointedly do not remark that Tsunotaro has seen them in far worse attire than this.

Silver huffs a laugh suddenly, shaking his head.

“Sorry, it’s just,” He chuckles again. “Just remembered something Fa—Batman said, about how Tsunotaro would like to have a view when…”

He seems to remember himself as he trails off, pale cheeks blazing red. For their part, Yuu can feel blood rushing to their own face at the implication.

“SILVER!!” Sebek yells. “For once you’ve had a good idea!”

What.

“What?” Silver says, confused.

“What??” Yuu asks, desperately hoping they’ve misunderstood.

“Human!” Banshee proclaims. “You will bathe yourself, and I shall take pictures of you for Malleus-sama!”

Silver stares, mouth open in shock.

Yuu can feel their eyelid developing a twitch.

There’s a small snapping noise.

One of the shards of wood in their mom’s hands has been snapped in half.

Yuu knows that look on her face. It’s one they learned to dread growing up, heralding disappointment and scoldings and stories about clowns stealing their teeth.

“…Right.” Mom says. “Right. Yuu, you go get cleaned up. These gentlemen and I,” She seizes Silver with one hand and Sebek with the other, manages to prize their grips off of Yuu almost effortlessly. “Need to have a little chat about something private.”

“Uh—” Silver hesitates.

“HUMAN! UNHAND ME AT ONCE!” Sebek blusters.

“Mom—” Yuu starts forward, worried for their mom’s safety.

“That’s enough.” Yuu’s mother commands, then smiles sweetly at them. “Yuu, dear, be careful when washing things out—don’t get any splinters in your face. I’ll see you once you’re dressed, alright? We’ll pop down to that sweet family bakery for breakfast after I’m finished.”

Yuu hasn’t come this far in life by not listening to their mom when she tells them what to do in that tone of voice.

They turn around and walk through the bathroom door, shutting it behind them.

I don't love keeping track of the box office like I used to years ago, but it can still be fun at times seeing a movie that you expected to be relatively big just knock out even high expectations. Sometimes it's fun to see even blockbusters chase history.

For example...

[collegeboysam]

a little funny how louis just discovered that armand lies and manipulates to get what he wants, was ready to let him die if it came down to it, and was perfectly capable to mantain the lie to his face for 77 years yet for some reason he thinks armand would suddenly start doing what louis wants when he tells him "don't touch daniel"? like 😭😭 armand doesn't even answer him when louis gives him the order. he's no longer arun and louis can't tell him what to do regarding his boy.

[lesbiandanielmolloy]

So i am a firm believer that at every point that Daniel accuses Armand of trying to drive him crazy or do insane things to make Daniel feel the need to go back to him, he is right. Except for the restaurant Armand really just didn't know what to get

[scaryscarecrows]

What does the rest of the militia think of The Arkham Knight? And why are Marks Medical Minions so mean?

Antoine: They think he's a nut. But he's the nut that pays them, so it doesn't really matter.

Jason: I spend all that time on motivational speeches and that's the result I get?

Antoine: Roughly. They think you're kinda cool, but they're all scared of you--

Jason: That's fair, at least.

Antoine: --and yeah, they basically think you're a nut.

Mark: They have to be. Look what they're dealing with. 'Where are you?' we ask. What's the answer? A vague, unhelpful, 'OVER HERE!' Where, stupid? Sure, to the left, but are you top level? Bottom level? Give us a landmark! And quit touching, you can cause more damage that way.
