When Steph and Cass get married they don’t take the last name Brown (Daddy Issues™️) or Cain (Daddy Issues Prime™️) or even Wayne (Steph absolutely REFUSES to become a Wayne nosirree), but a secret fourth thing (Gordan).

Absolutely adoring how the chain seems to have assigned big brother little brother pairings for all of the minors:

Legend who is making sure Hyrule doesn’t overuse his magic and exhaust himself

Warriors who is constantly scruffing Wind to make sure he doesn’t do something stupid

And Twilight who is trying to stop Wild from yeeting himself off the nearest cliff and failing miserably

Peak sibling behavior

Look at Percy looking at Annabeth!

We are 5 episodes in and we already reached the point where, If I tell you that Percy willingly fell into Tartarus with Annabeth just to be with her, everybody would be like "Yeah, that adds up, I guess."

Milgram Omori AU continuation

Around 4 years after Mirai's death

He manages to repress the memories of the murder, but he still feels uneasy in the hallway in his house where it happened. To cope, Haruka dreams of a perfect fantasy world (called Headspace) where he gets to live happily with all his loved ones. Generally, Muu takes on a caretaker role, replacing his mother. Mikoto is a friendly people person who bickers a lot with Fuuta. Fuuta is hotheaded and causes problems but genuinely cares about the others. Kotoko is the level-headed mediator who stops Mikoto and Fuuta from arguing too much. Mirai is sweet and always supportive of everyone.

During a fun but routine day(night?) in Headspace, something happens. While looking through Mikoto's photo album with everyone, Muu suddenly goes missing after discovering a photograph of a broken violin, alluding to Mirai's death. Haruka forces himself to wake up.

In the middle of the night, Haruka goes downstairs because he's starving, but he has to go through the hallway to reach the kitchen. Passing through causes him to have a panic attack and hallucinate Mirai. He eventually manages to get there and eat, but he throws it up and then goes to sleep.

In Headspace, Haruka and his friends set off on a quest to find Muu. Mirai opts out of the actual adventuring but sets up picnics around Headspace to provide support for everyone while they're on their journey.

That's all for now.

Also here's their Headspace sprites. Featuring Kotoko in a tank top with a wolf on it because she's just like that. It'll be more clear in the actual Kotoko outfit.

More Apollo fic excerpts for you all, because I'm on a roll:

Looking at Father is hard. Apollo has learnt this early on, but Apollo is also either incorrigibly foolish, or insurmountably stubborn. Either way, he tries and tries and tries; the truth is his, and he will look into the King's eyes while he gets it.

Lightning crackles around Zeus's lashes, fine white scars upon his dark skin. He sighs unhappily, and somewhere around Cretan Ida, rain-black clouds are blown away. "Why do you ask that, child?"

"Hekate thinks it is unjust."

"Did she say that to you?"

"No."

Apollo does not mention that she said that to his sister and his mother, because that was not what Father asked. He does not speak of her grief either - the King is a forge of hot power thrumming with ill-supressed rage, a rush of deadly cloudstrike and bitter ozone under his tongue - and Apollo is... apprehensive, if not afraid.

Zeus sighs again. The rain clouds return, and drought is averted. His beard droops, and the riot of spiked hair curls into itself. "It is fate," he says. "There had to be a safe place for you to be born."

"And fate is greater than justice, then?"

"You know the Fates. You know Fate is greater than everything."

Apollo says nothing. In the following silence, father and son stare at each other, picking away at the other's minds.

As always, Father breaks first. "I could not lose you," he says. "You are to be a great god."

Perhaps Apollo should be kinder, perhaps Apollo should be blind. But he is not. Here too the Fates are unfair - he can see Ares' quiet pain, he can see Hera's righteous rage. And his memory is terrible in its divinity - a hundred thousand words of fatherly love will not wipe away all those days of his mother's tears.

Or perhaps it is not fatherly love at all. Apollo is to be a great god, a mighty cog in the automaton that is Fate, and like Hephaestus, Zeus its builder cares little for who the cogs are, or where they come from. They must only exist.

Or perhaps it is just him - Apollo, the Destroyer. Under his hands is the ruin of a hundred women, and then some more, and Hekate is one notch among many others. Perhaps Apollo blames fruitlessly, for it is his father who chased his aunt, and his birth that holds her down. Perhaps his father loves them - him and Artemis and Mother Leto, and has only sought to turn fate in their favour through his ruthlessness. Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. So many chances, so many answers.

Apollo looks at Father, and does not believe even one.

"I see," he says. "Thank you for your time, Your Majesty."

Zeus-King frowns. He holds out a hand as if to call out, then drops it and turns away. "You may leave," he says, and Apollo does.

Hey guys

[mira-likes]

Multitasking according to the Emperor of Qing:

- go bond with your illegitimate son about his tragically dead mother

- while the son is admiring her portrait, hop out and check if your soldiers managed to murder the son’s beloved uncle/mentor

- upon learning that they failed, murder a courtyard’s worth of people

- hop back to the son and continue bonding

This way no time is lost and you can combine both heartfelt bonding and murder in the same half an hour ☺️💕
