[loveofcharacters]

He could see her thinking, her disappointment and a hint of sadness evident from her thoughts, he sat closer to her. "Lex," grabbing her hands. "Stop thinking." He said, nodding, "I agree, but we're not breaking up. We'll make it work." He said, hoping the soft smile on his lips would translate that there's hope. "I want you to know. We'd be living life on your timeline if was just us. I'm just trying to be a good father for Eli and a responsible co-parent to Vera. The first few years are hard, but they get easier when day-care and school are introduced." He wasn't sure if his explaining would make her feel better or worse. "I would never be unhappy with you Lex, if we had a baby tomorrow I wouldn't be unhappy. I worry Eli will feel like he's left behind. I don't want my son to feel like he's second."

Lexie wasn’t sure what to do now. She loved Samuel, had fallen in love with him since day one. But now hearing they want different things, or maybe just different timings, it did make her question if there was a future. Because she wouldn’t want him to force himself to be ready to give her a baby in a couple years. But she also wasn’t sure if getting married and then having to wait half a decade to have a baby would make her unhappy or not. “It honestly makes me feel like we both have to think about this. Because I don’t want us to get in too deep to find out one of us will end up unhappy.”

Let's Get Physical pt. 3

pt.2 pt.4

Author's note: Hate to do this to you guys but it's angst time :P Sorry this was late as hell, my mom had surgery and I've been taking care of her. I recommend listening to Taste by Sabrina Carpenter while reading this

It's Thursday, a few days after you and Soap had set up a date for the following Saturday, but it feels like 2 months later. The days drag by with no clear end in sight. Soap had barely texted you since that night, yet neither have you. The nerves twisting your stomach left no room for attention towards your classes. You'd completely spaced out during your math class, and your physics class, and the rest of them, but who's keeping track?

By Thursday, you were already ridiculously far behind in your physics class. Your teacher would never give an extension, unless you were literally in a hospital, and you needed to get them done asap. Where did that take you? Back to your personal tutor.

Flopping onto your bed in your dorm, you whipped out your phone, a small smile on your face at the excuse to meet with Soap.

Heyyy

It doesn't even take a minute before he responds

Hey hen

What're you up to?

Nothing at the moment, why?

Any way we could meet up later? I'm behind on my assignments and could use your help😓

Nerves set in. Did you say something wrong? No, what's wrong with wanting to see him again? Him helping with your homework was how this all started, why stop? He even asked you out-

Oh shit. You finished his sentence for him, maybe you read into it wrong? Maybe he wanted to just hang out as friends, and you assumed it was a date. OUT. LOUD. Fuck, and he went along with it to not make it awkward, didn't he? No, just trust for once.

It's another 30 minutes before you give in and decide to text him again.

If not it's okay, just could use your help, if you aren't busy :)

I'm meeting with a client in a bit, but we can get a hotel after if you want

Your stomach drops to the bottom of your feet.

Oh.

Right.

Why would you forget about that? Of course he was still going to do his job, you weren't special enough to make him stop, even if he saw you as more than a friend. You signed up for this, so swallow the lump in your throat and don't cry.

Oh right, haha. Yeah we can do that :)

You played it off, right? You can do this. You can see him, hug him, while he still smells like another woman. Could you kiss him, knowing he had another woman on his mouth? God, should you do this?

It's not like you're dating. Were you? You had one set up, but it hadn't happened yet. Were you jumping ahead of yourself? What did you actually feel for him? When he tutored you, you couldn't help the lingering looks you'd give him when he turned to grab something, or how your skin would heat up when he'd squeeze your shoulder and tell you how good you're doing.

God knows how many times you had touched yourself to the thought of him kissing down your body.

Was it worth it? He's so gentle with you, your mind and body reacting to him in a way no one else had managed to make you, but he would never fully be yours. He'd realize eventually there was no true reason for you to be around, and that he could get everything he wanted from the women who pay him, right?

On his end, he was dreading the coming evening. Bianca had payed double than last time, and he needed to pay for a leak in the piping of his sink. Not left with much choice, he accepted. God, he did not want to do this. Taking clients began to feel empty once he got to know you. You payed attention to him, and not just his dick. All he wanted to do right now was hold you and watch a movie, despite not knowing what that felt like with you.

It wasn't something he entirely enjoyed, being a hooker. After a while, his dick became desensitized, and he found it a little harder to be in the moment. Yet, unless he wanted to be eating ramen and tatties for every meal, he didn't really have another option. If he had a documented job, he'd lose his disability check.

So here he was, at a hotel, waiting for her. He dressed in black slacks with a white dress shirt, the first few buttons loose. He had popped a viagra, already knowing that it was gonna be near impossible to get hard with her behavior. When she opened the door with a drawn out, high pitched,

"Heyyy"

He exhaled and gave a fake, yet convincing, smile and prepared for what'd to come. Hopefully he'd be able to just bend her over, so he doesn't have to look in her eyes, pillow shoved in her face so he can barely hear her and just pretend she's you.

This was going to be a long night, but at least you were at the end of it.

TFO Dual Rulers (?) AU

I've been seeing people do like a "what if D didn't go fuckin' coconuts" AU, and it kinda inspired me to start thinking of what other events would be changed in those scenarios.

(yes i'm still in denial)

Please take these lightly colored sketches!!! Also I'm sorry for lazy handwriting;;

Also also, as always, please click/press the image for quality!!!

("Brief" explanations for each of the numbered panels is under the cut (the numbers are just the order of when I drew them, and not in chronological order of the scenes)!!!)

1. I think, because D won't be the one to shoot at Sentinel because he's grounded in this AU, Sentinel would be the one to use the last of his strength to try and shoot at D, only for Orion to block it. I couldn't figure out how to draw D in immense agony about it so I just decided to make this paper a collection of ideas. If anyone has any ideas, please tell me because I want angst--//shot (I also finally remembered to write my signature this time!!!) 1-2. The main problem I had trouble figuring out was how D would possibly let go of Orion... He'd still say the "Why did you do that, why?!" line, but I don't know where to go from there. Would Sentinel still have energy to kick D's hand? Would Orion be too heavy to hold on? Would Orion tell D to let him go? Maybe they wouldn't even be hanging over the ledge and D would just be holding him--but then what? There was too many things to ponder about just one scene, and I wanted to get my other ideas out before I forgot about them. Guyssss give me your ideas please-- 2. It always bothered me that Orion and Bee left D in Sentinel's office(?) to hold him off on his own;;; like, I get it, D won't listen, but at least tell him you're leaving??? 2-2. I think the "What did he do to you?" conversation would be much longer. Not as comical and cheesy as the comic I sketched a little bit back, but... 3. (Please read it right to left;;; I just got done reading manga when I had the idea to draw this panel;;; also the entire page honestly. I'm so sorry y'all--)At the High Guards' base, I think D'd be the one to initiate a fight with Starscream still, but do it calmly. 4. I wanted to keep this line, because it would make sense still. Also might hurt a little more *screams* (D would not do the Anime Girl Pose™️, but I wanted him and Orion to match oop--) 5. After apprehending Sentinel, somehow we'd get his (Megatronus's) cog and Orion (now Optimus) would give it to D as a token of trust. Based off of @/momonsalmonmon on Twitter/X's absolutely gorgeous comics!!! (I also DO NOT remember how the cogs looked I'm sorry for not doing further research ;w; Will do better next time I promise;;;) 6. Bee and Soundwave BFFs???? (+ annoyed Shockwave) Please. Also maybe bring back Senator Soundwave as a concept??? Miss he;; It might be interesting, with Bee also "working for the government" now,,, (Edit: 2/7/2025): Hi. just realized my typo and it's been months. Guys. It's Senator Shockwave guys. Why didn't y'all tell me;;;; I knew who I was thinking of I promise;;; guys please don't nod along to this and just ignore my huge ass typo 😭 (thank you for the support though but OH MY GOD) (Edit: 3/3/2025): GUYS. I FORGOT THEY WERE BOTH SENATORS AT SOME POINT (in different comics though but) GUYS. I'M A PUSHOVER. THEY CAN BOTH BE GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS AS A TREAT AJSDLKFAJLKSDJFLKA I'm a fraud ;w;)b 7. Headcanon that Orion is bad at math and confides in Elita and D for enforcing the taxes so the citizens don't become outraged but also so that the government has enough money to do stuff. D might be like "Aww he needs our help" and Elita would be like "godddd let me work out" 7-2. I feel like I draw Elita with an annoyed expression too much I'm so sorry milady;;; I promise I love you;;;

✧warnings: toxic/yandere themes, violence

✧synopsis: Yandere Sunoo, is a young teacher at y/n's high school, the 2 only having a 3-4 year gap. He's so in love with her. She's sweet, cute, loving and sensitive, she's a goddamn pushover and she needs him. Sunoo watches you, he knows everything about you, where you live, what you like, how you feel.

And now he finally has you.... though you're not into him....

✧❁✧❁✧❁✧❁✧❁✧❁✧❁✧❁✧❁✧❁✧❁✧❁✧

You clutched onto your books, feeling judged as you walk down the hallways. Though the school board were ok with it, and Your parents were even willing to marry you off to Sunoo, there are no barriers for Sunoo. You even tried running away, how stupid of you. Your bruises and cuts were almost healed, thigh high socks hiding them from people's view.

You had to distance yourself from Jungwon too, not because of Yena and her group, who were thankfully expelled, but because of Sunoo. He gets so jealous on an insane level. You heard the locker slam shut, sighing as you knew who it was... Yang Jungwon. Things didn't exactly end the way you hoped they would.

You planned on drifting from him like most friends do, though it was hard, crying at home, missing the one close friend who was there for you no matter what. A boy you possibly had a crush on. You found out he had feelings for you too. However, you were with Sunoo and Won hid his love perfectly, but when you found out, Sunoo forced you to fall out with him, saying she only befriended him and acted nice to use him. She had no other choice but to do just that.

Jungwon gave you a dirty look before walking off. You stood by your locker feeling pretty hurt when you felt someone pat your shoulder. "Y/n, stop daydreaming and get to class... I don't like late comers" Sunoo said as the girl rolled her eyes when he wasn't looking. Sunoo smirked when heard the tapping of her platform heels not too far behind him.

The whole lesson, his eyes were on you. The other students too busy with their essays to even look at Sunoo. Not that he cared anyway. He loved watching you do normal things like studying. The way you sort of fiddle with hair or spin your pencil between your fingers, or doodle artistic little doodles around your work once you're done, waiting for the others to finish So you could start marking them.

"Why was Sungchan talking to you?!" Sunoo asked as you got in the car. "Huh? oh, he wanted me to help him with something" you simply answered as Sunoo stared at you intensely "help him with what?!" he asked, clearly annoyed. "Math homework. Don't worry I said no. He won't bother me anymore..." She added as the male narrowed his eyes at her, but smirked to himself hearing how she handled him.

Upon arriving home, the girl showered first, silently getting changed before going to the living room to do her homework while Sunoo marked some papers. "Sunoo... are clouds edible?" the girl suddenly asked as Sunoo frowned. "No... have you learned nothing in geography?" he asked as the girl shrugged. "I thought it would taste like marshmallows..." the girl mumbled with a pout.

"Y/n what is this?!" Sunoo asked as the girl blinked "test?" she said, blinking innocently as he glared at her, showing her paper and her bestfriend's paper "the same exact answers and you both failed what is this?" "Omg we have the same answers... makes sense we study together... and we took the same exam with the same questions" the girl said acting shocked as Sunoo sighed.

The girl sighed, lying upside down on the sofa, as she switched through the channels. "Sunoo... can I go out with my best friend?... I'm bored..." the girl asked as he stared at her in disbelief. "No. I'm not letting you go out. Last time you almost fucking ran away..." Sunoo pointed out as he squeezed one of her fresher wounds. "Did you learn nothing?...." he asked as the girl winced.

The girl gently pulled away as she sat normally, moving away from Sunoo. "Babe..." Sunoo called out as he sat beside "yes?" the girl asked as Sunoo turned to her "Do you love me?" he asked as the girl went silent. How the fuck could she? he hurt her, he gets dangerously jealous he fucking kidnapped her for the love of god. "yeah..." she said as Sunoo nodded.

"Then say it." He said "Say what?" "Say that you love me." he asked as the girl went silent. "Why you already know I love you right?" the girl asked, nervously chuckling as he stared at her. "You don't love me do you?..." he asked, silence trailing after. "I love you Sunoo..." she said, a forced sincere tone, with hidden venom and disgust. "How comes you never say it or kiss me or hug me or do what girlfriends do?!" he asked as the girl went silent.

"Because you're busy with school work and at school we can't fraternize..." she pointed out as the male nodded. "Hmm... I guess that checks out." he said, leaning over toward her, pulling her into his embrace and kissing her forehead not caring about the girl's unresponsiveness.

Chapter Three – New York Public Library, 4:05 p.m.

Chapter warnings: Some fluff, Addie meeting a certain someone. Okay, I might have taken some inspiration from a friend of mine about how Addie is written, but I'll let them figure it out before I say anything

Word count: 1443 words

“Do you know Steve Rogers?” Willy asked, a little confused about Addie’s sudden excitement.

“Oh, no, but I want to meet him so bad.”

“Have you seen the kid? He’s a bean sprout!”

“So? He’s sweet and amazing!"

"I thought you said you've never met him?" Willy looked at her.

"That's a long story and I don't think anyone would believe it..." she sighed and ran her hand through her hair, really paralyzed by the idea she could actually meet the duo.

"Speak of the devil-" Willy grinned and pointed down one of the aisles. "Looks like Bucky's here."

"What???" Addie jumped up and looked down to where Willy was pointing.

Holding a number of books, was the very young and super cute James Bucky Barnes, his head leaned back against the shelf as he waited for someone. Most likely Steve..

"Can I go say hello?" Addie turned to Willy, the butterflies in her stomach exploding into a tornado.

"I'll do better than, I'll introduce you two." Willy offered his elbow, which Addie gladly took and he walked them over to where Bucky was waiting.

"Hey, Bucky-" Willy called, catching the young man's attention.

"Hey, look who's back!" Bucky grinned and shook Willy's hand firmly. Addie couldn't stop smiling, this man was so cute in his own way but where Bucky was Steve had to be around here somewhere, and if she did her math right, he hadn't had the serum yet so TINY STEVE!!

"When did you get in??" Bucky asked Willy, ruffling the soldier's hair.

"Just this afternoon. But don't let me forget my manners."

"Whatever small amount you have." Bucky smarted.

"Shut up, man. Bucky, this is Addie. She was going to college but she wound up in New York."

"Hello!" Addie smiled, giving a shy wave.

"Hi there." Bucky flashed his charming smile, cocking his head in his confident way. "College you say? Wow!"

"Well," Addie shrugged. "I'm not sure it'll work out since I'm not sure the place is even there."

"Wait-" Bucky shook his head, adjusting the books in his hands.

"-Don't try to figure it out, I don't understand it either." She held up her hand and smiled bitterly.

"Sorry to hear that," Bucky looked around. "You might be able to get a job here if you were going to college."

"That's an idea." Willy nodded, bumping Addie's arm.

"Yeah," she brightened, the idea had not occurred to her that she might need a job in this time. "I like it. Thanks, Bucky." It felt so alien that she was actually talking to the Bucky Barnes, and hopefully in a little bit, the one and only Steve.

"Is Steve around?" Willy asked the 64-million dollar question, making Addie force herself to keep it cool.

"Yeah, but he might have fallen asleep on a book-" Bucky snickered as he started to walk down the aisle, peeking through the shelving for his best friend.

"Addie wants to meet him," Addie wanted to hide in a whole from the glance Bucky shot at her.

"That's a first, but he's gotta be around here somewhere." He shrugged. "You two should hit off just fight if you're both into books."

"YES PLEASE!" Addie screamed mentally. "GIMME!"

But instead she simply followed the two men as Bucky whisper-shouted Steve's name.

"Oh, there he is." Willy pointed down the aisle they hadn't checked yet. Tiny Steve had his nose in a book, and actually looked like he would drop the book if he wasn't resting it on the shelf that towered over his small frame.

"Hey- Steve," Bucky clapped his hand on the man's frail shoulder. "Guess who just showed up?"

"Hey, Will!" Steve's face lit up as he closed the book and heaved it onto the shelf before giving the lieutenant's hand a shake. "And who's this?" He turned to Addie who smiled and covered her cheeks to hide her evident blush that flew up her neck.

"I'm Addison," she gave another shy wave.

"Hi." Steve smiled, sending Addie mentally swooning. "That's a pretty name."

"Thank you," her hands fell to her neck where she could feel her pulse racing.

"Say, how's about we get some grub?" Bucky swung his arm around Steve's shoulders and Willy's, a grin crossing his face. "My treat."

"Did you get a raise or somethin'?" Willy's brows shot up.

"Twenty clams, baby." Bucky enunciated, sounding awful smug.

Willy let out a quiet hoot. "You lucky bum."

"We should probably get out of here before they kick us out for making too much noise." Addie suggested, making a motion toward where the librarian was.

"Smart doll." Bucky made a face before the foursome made their way out to the street.

"So where do you work, Buck?" Addie asked, actually curious since she had never searched THAT deep into the lore.

"A few blocks down from my place," The future Winter Soldier pointed in the direction of Brooklyn. "It's a retail store and for some reason the gals always take the long way from the high school  to make their pretty little way to happen to pass by the store."

Addie snickered as Steve rolled his eyes. These moments made Addie feel warm, seeing her favorite characters happy and content.  Domestic avengers all day.

The diner was almost packed with people as the small group arrived.

"Lemme call Ma-" Willy made a line for the phone as Steve found a booth, Addie was behind him but When Bucky slid in next to Steve she made an objective noise.

"Did you say something, Ad?" Bucky looked up.

"Um, is it okay if I sit next to Steve?"

"Sure, doll!" Bucky smiled apologetically before standing up and taking the seat across from Steve. "You can keep him warm."

"Bucky, don't make me blush like that--" Addie hid her face again.

Bucky actually laughed and bumped Steve's hand. "I think you finally have an admirer, you punk."

"Say what?" Steve looked up from the small book he was working on.

"This doll likes you, Steve." Bucky winked.

Steve couldn't say anything but pointed to himself, obviously shocked.

"What can I say? You're sweet." Addie smiled at Steve, who just barely reached her eye level, but still. She only had three years to wait before he would bulk up ...big time.

When Willy got back he looked a little disappointed to see Addie sitting next to Steve, but it was quick to pass. He sidled in next to Bucky and smiled at Addie.

"Ma said she hoped we enjoy our dinner."

"She's sweet." Addie observed, folding her hands over her legs. Then she spotted something off, she was still dressed in a black t-shirt and tight-ish jeans. Everyone else was in rather modest dress, all the ladies' dresses were cut just below the knee-line and the men had either button down shirts and jackets like Steve and Bucky had one, or they were in their uniform like Willy.

"Man, I sure feel outa place." She shivered, laughing slightly.

"What do you mean-?" Bucky asked, tilting his head as he played with the salt and pepper shakers.

"Look at me, I don't look like any of the girls around here."

"So?" Willy shrugged.

"I think you look nice." Steve piped in.

"Thanks, Steve .." Addie blushed again. "But I mean, I feel practically naked-"

Willy coughed to cover his immature laugh and Bucky ran his hand over his face, clearly trying not to say anything.

"Sorry, I forgot-" Addie facepalmed and sighed.

"Here." Steve started to tug his jacket off but Bucky stopped him.

"Now I know you're trying to be nice and all but if you take that jacket off I will personally make you wash dishes for a month. She can use mine for now, okay?"

Steve slumped back in half-defeat as Bucky tugged his arms out of his overcoat and handed it to Addie.

"Thanks..." she smiled at Steve before putting Bucky's jacket on. Wow, he didn't even have the serum yet and he was already a human space-heater. She patted Steve's hand reassuringly. "I appreciate the thought, Stevie, but you shouldn't worry about me."

Steve just nodded and looked at her. "Where are you from? You don't sound like you're from New York."

"I'm from Washington." She replied. "D.C."

"No kidding?"

"No kidding. That's what Willy said about college."

"That's right,DJ didn't he mention you were trying to go to college??"

"Yeah, but again- I'm sure it'll work.." she frowned.

"Cheer up, kid." Willy offered a smile. "I'm sure you'll be happy here."

"Now that I have some friends," she looked to Steve again. "I think I will be."

things i want more from the wizarding world bc jkr sucks at fucking world building

where are the museums? where are the heritage centres? witchcraft and wizardry has been around for thousands of years, where's all the artifacts and history stored

you can just??? walk into a trade once you graduate??? where's the apprenticeships?? where's the hogwarts-to-careers pathway?? where's the gap years? where's the studying abroad??

field trips? not once did any of the professors think that learning would be better out in the real world? think about snape teaching the kids to gather ingredients and how to make a bare bones potion in the wild. or remus showing natural habitats of creatures?

hogsmede being the only wizarding village is dumb as shit. especially when most wizards cannot understand muggle lifestyles at all - like are you telling me most wizards are in muggle towns and NO ONE questions them not knowing what a car is?

on that note - why is muggle studies not MANDATORY for all witches/wizards??? if they're going to live amongst them why is it an elective course?? if you're going to end up marrying a muggle you need to know the by-laws of showing off magic surely???

quidditch being the only sport that is played is dumb as fuck. especially if it can be over in less than 5 minutes if the seeker gets the snitch

why are these people giving wands to 11 year olds and expecting them to take them seriously??? if i had a wand at the age of 13 years old BEST BELIEVE i'm murking my bullies. nah you should be getting your wand after you graduate or at the very least, not have it with you outside of class???

what were children of wizarding families doing prior to hogwarts? surely they can't be all in private tutoring?? the weasleys wouldn't have the money for that for a start and what happens if they turn out to be a squib and can't read or write and don't have basic math comprehension before the age of 11???

are we seriously expected to believe that wizarding children from dufftown scotland are expected to travel all the way down to london to catch an 11am train to take them back up to scotland. like do they not stop at edinburgh and aberdeen first? like???

on that note, surely EDINBURGH the most HAUNTED PLACE IN THE UK would be a peak wizarding community. like surely they have their own subsect of shops and society.

there's an average of 280 students at hogwarts at any given time ( 5 male students x 5 female students x 7 years = 70 x 4 houses = 280 ) that is a DANGEROUSLY LOW wizarding population for tom riddle to be murking people left right and centre and not being noticed so fudge has NO EXCUSE

azkaban is dumb. i will not elaborate.

actuallY NO I WILL ELABORATE!! so people go to azkaban for serious crimes right?? do you get sent for like?? tax evasion??? do you get sent for illegal gambling?? what about keeping an illegal animal??? surely they can't all go to azkaban??? for all eternity amongst death eaters and literal child murderers??? what the heck???

how DOES the wizarding world taxation process work??? do they take into account you working in a muggle career??? how is the ministry funded??? do they have their own subsect from the UK government??? thats a dangerous relationship!

why is the minister of magic not included in discussions of parliament?? issues that could clearly cause issues for the wizarding world would be something he needs to know about like a little thing called brexit??? the european union??? other parliamentary members would need to know who they are and what they're doing there surely???

what about wizarding holidays??? are there travel companies??? how did the weasleys get over to egypt without passports??? they couldn't have used floo or apparate. was there a service ensuring they got there???

280 students crammed into a castle for 9 months out of the year and only 3rd years and up get to go to hogsmede? give them dances. give them entertainment and clubs and spirit weeks and shit like that. give them non-uniform days and movie days.

[glitched-username]

Hear me out: rottmnt but they are the actual sizes of the animals

Mikey is 5 inches for box turtles

Donnie is 9 inches for softshells

Leo is 1 ft

Raph is 30 inches (2.5 ft)

Splinter is 10 inches

And April is... there for comparison lol

Read more for my random assembly of thoughts and ideas

Just thinking about how Mikey views Leo and Raph's as giants, being over double his height and Raph being 6x bigger. But Raph and Leo are still tiny compared to humans like April.

And Mikey just loves treating his family like a jungle gym. He's gotten so good at it that no one even flinches when he jumps off an impossibly high distance cause they know he'll catch himself no problem, and if he can't then

Also using this concept to further transmasc-ify Leo cause female red eared sliders are larger than the male counterparts. Just imagining Donnie accidentally outing Leo out of a closet he didn't even know he was in cause

"No, you're the correct turtle species and there's nothing wrong with your mutation, female sliders are just bigger"

"...Donnie, I'm a guy"

"Yeah"

"..."

"..."

Donnie specifically checked why Leo was so tall because he was pissed at the slider gloating about the growth spurt when he became a teen and just straight up diagnosed him with Transgender (tm) like it was the most casual it of info to drop

Donnie is peak borrower energy. But like if a borrower decided to take it to a competitive level. How does he get such crazy tech despite being the size of a hairbrush? By massacring lost or currently devices for their parts. So, thrown out radios? Yep! But also, a store display TV that is currently airing commercials? Also free game for the softshell. He's had the most exposure to humans because of this and is definitely the least freaked out when they first meet April cause he at least knows what to expect (ie: they're more scared of us than we are of them sort of thing).

He's also the most feeal and territorial about his stuff because "do you KNOW how hard it is to lug all these parts into the lair??? If any of you touch you will die"

Also L to Splinter. Going from Lou Jitsu Action Star, to kidnapped and forced to fight in the battle nexus and then turned into a sewer rat and now you have to deal with 4 sons, one literally big enough to bite his head off even as a baby/toddler. He definitely had to start relying on Raph more as they grew up

And Raph

Oh Raph.

He already had a hard time learning his own strength in the original, where they were all roughly similar sizes. But now? He has to really practice being gentle. And he's gotten DAMN good at it. So good that even though it looks like he's being completely reckless and throwing his weight around his tiny brothers, he knows exactly how much pressure each brother of wildly different sizes and durability can take.

Bro is constantly doing mental math that would make Donnie impressed.

He has no idea how to handle meeting April. Like, all he's known is how to be gentle around people cause they're smaller and more fragile and suddenly, here's a human, over double his height... but she's still physically weaker??? Or at least not as durable. She doesn't have a shell or tough scales and wasn't specifically mutated for war so doesn't have any durability/strength/regeneration genes.

When they first meet, I imagine the other boys are less freaked out cause they're used to everyone being taller than them but Raph goes FULL protective mode. Pulling out all the stops because he thinks it's going to be a tough fight, that the human would easily stomp him if he doesn't go all out.

But when he sees she isn't fighting back and is hurt pretty bad from his bites (1000 psi ain't a joke, she's lucky she still has all her limbs after that) he instantly goes from "evil giant monster must attack" to "mother hen" and gets extremely apologetic.

Not an... amazing first meetup but April jokes about it now, Raph even gives her little play bites when they're messing around or just absentmindedly gnawing on it while watching a movie(though much more gentle). And while Raph COULD give little playful bites to his little brothers, he has to be VERY aware and VERY careful while doing so, but with April he can be a bit looser with how gentle he is

I imagine once he gets his powers he's finally so happy that he can give April an actual hug for once lol

And I don't think Draxum reaaalllyyy anticipated the turtles not growing to a more human height. In his defense this was basically the first time he used live human DNA during the mutation process. How was he supposed to know that the animal's height would take priority over the human's height?

Draxum saw splinter shrink down into a rat during his escape but just assumed they were all so small that they couldn't have survived the collapse. Oh well, he'll make sure to fix that flaw when he finally gets his lab back up and running.

Ima. Jason was 14 at death believer and not just because of Tim and the 18th birthday graveside visit, although that does also make sense- Tim and Jason are just under two years apart, 12-14 when Jason dies, by time Tim meets Bruce he’s a fresher 13, gives him the most time to be 13. When post crisis happens and (and Jason is not mentioned in this story) dicks second version of leaving happens, someone writes in and wonders how this could be- the timeline is confusing. The batsignal response says this story “happened about three years ago”. Pre crisis Jason is 11 at first appearance and then post crisis him being a “fifth grade dropout” is mentioned several times- that’s 10-11. Bruce was aome for some time before finding jason as well- so it seems very likely the timeline is the same- Jason found at eleven and starting robin at 12? Either way- dick left three years ago in comic time- making jason 15 in comic time would mean a really fast timeline when usually comics happen much slower than “real time”. Mostly I just think “he wanted to be 16” doesn’t indicate age- I’ve heard 13 year olds who can’t wait to be 18 because they can get a tattoo XD

[see the age section of my death certificate post for context]

yes yes anon this makes a lot of sense!! tim's age is the big thing for me, just given the timeline of jason's death in april, if jason's 15 + 8 months, it requires an extremely short turnaround for tim to still be 13 when he shows up.

giving tim more time to be 13 also gives jason more time to be, well, dead, and lets the timeline breathe a little bit more. (jason has to be 17 during hush, which is... rough to make work with lost days/under the hood, if he died at 15.)

jason being 11 is generally what i use for when he was picked up by batman, yes! didn't know about pre-crisis jason, but i have definitely been going off of the "fifth grade drop-out" thing. and we know pretty definitively that jason was robin at twelve - it's mentioned in lost days + that one scarcrow anti-fear toxin issue shows bruce imagining a gravestone for jason that reads 1974-1968.

i don't remember where i got this from but iirc bruce's parents died in june (in this continuity) so jason would have been 11 + 10 months when picked up by bruce, robin after six months of training would have placed him at 12 + 4 months. and then with a death at 14 + 8 that maths out to about two years are robin, three under bruce's care. which works well imo. given the leeway with august birthdays you could also have jason be 10 + 10 months when bruce first noticed him, which has the fun effect of retroactively widening the age gap with dick. which i am a fan of tbh.

you're absolutely right about comics happening much slower than real time, usually. i think with post-crisis they were really trying to speedrun through all the origin stories, since pre-crisis already had jaybin and dick established as nightwing. it's still gets to me sometimes that post-crisis jaybin existed for less than two real life years before being killed off. i'm sos osrry they hated you so much jaybin. ily.

true and fair point about kids wanting to turn "milestone" ages even when they're still far off from them!! though usually it's because there's some like... additional thing that becomes available (driving, voting, drinking, etc.)

i do still reference jason dying as a 15 year old sometimes, mostly because that's convention and when i justify my headcanons i can get... very rambly about it. but in my heart. you are absolutely right anon. this kid died at 14 <3

Lost in your eyes | Lee Minho

I was running through the woods with my sister in hand. Nine boys all around us. We just met them three hours ago, but they are the only ones we can trust…

------------------------------4 hours ago…. -------------------------------

"Chae get your ass down here! You gotta get to school and drop your sister off!" Mother yelled up the stairs, in her usual morning fashion. I put on my uniform and put my long, black hair, into a messy bun. I moseyed on downstairs and into the living room. My sister finished her math homework, and my mother braided her hair. My sister is at the top of her class but slacks off so hard on her homework.

"Finally, you're down here! Fuck! Now I'm late for work! I wish you were like your sister!" she shouted as she left the house. I grabbed my bag and told Elle to come. We walked out of the house, and I said, "Does mother want me to be smart or have cancer?"

I dropped Elle off at her school and headed to mine. As I walked a car pulled up beside me and honked its horn. "Hey, Chae! Get your ass in the car!" Lisa shouted at me. Lisa is my best friend, but also the richest and most popular girl in school.

I shook my head and said, "Not today, gotta get my steps in." She laughed at that and drove away. I arrived at school just as the rain started. Beomgyu ran up to me and hugged me. I pushed him off and said with a fake pout on my face, "Where were you yesterday? We had a test, and I couldn't cheat off of you."

He chuckled at my pout and said, "I had a dentist appointment. I'm sorry, I wish I could've canceled it, but my mom would've beat me if I missed it." I rolled my eyes, "What a lame excuse."

I walked into class with Beomgyu and he sat right in front of me as I sat at the back of the classroom right next to the window. The teacher walked in and cleared his throat, getting everyone's attention.

"So, class, we have a new student. Be nice or all of you will fail the next test." A few people groaned and some snickered. Soon after a boy a little bit older than me walked in. From the back of the class, he looked like a fennec fox.

"Hi…" the boy said in a quiet voice that was barely audible, "I'm Jeongin. I just moved here from Busan, I'm 17 years old."

A few boys laughed and one said, "Busan? Like the song? Everyone knows the song Busan Seagull" The whole class laughed, and Jeongin looked down feeling embarrassed.

The teacher cleared his throat once more and said, "Chae, would you care to show him around?" I nod softly and I smile at the boy. He quickly walks over to me and sits in the seat beside me, looking down the whole time, tears brimming his eyes.

"Hey, don't cry, it's not going to change how big of dicks the class is," I say softly, and I put a hand on his shoulder gently trying not to spook him. He looks at me, wiping his tears with the back of his hand. "I'm not crying," he said sternly.

I remove my hand from his shoulder, taken aback by his sudden attitude. "Excuse you?! I'm being nice to you; don't fucking think you can be a bitch to me." I glare at him, and I look out the window ignoring everything going on around me.

The bell rings and everyone puts their things in their bags before leaving the classroom. I slowly put my things in my bag, when someone taps my shoulder. I turned to face the person, it was a boy about 5'10 with black hair, plump lips, soft brown cat eyes, and a soft smile.

"Hey, want to go to lunch with me?" he asks in a soft voice.

"I don't even know you, why would I go to lunch with someone I don't know?" I reply as I stand up putting my backpack on.

"Sorry, I'm Hyunjin, I'm in your Korean class," he holds out his hand for me to shake. I looked down at his hand it was covered with rings, and I slowly grasped it to shake it.

"I'm Chae, nice to meet you Hyunjin" I smile at him.

"So, do you want to go to lunch with me? You can bring Beomgyu and Jeongin, well Jeongin has to come either way" Hyunjin chuckles. I look up at him confused.

"What do you mean Jeongin has to come? Are you going to beat him up?"

"He's my friend, I would never beat him up" he chuckles at my reaction, and he grabs my hand bringing me out of the classroom where Beomgyu and Jeongin are waiting for us. Beomgyu pulls me away from Hyunjin wrapping his hands around my waist.

"What are you doing Chae? We never eat with other people," he whispers in my ear so Jeongin and Hyunjin can't hear him.

"Well, I think it's time to change that, it's getting boring just sitting with you," I pull out of Beomgyu's grip, and I turn to Hyunjin. "So where are we going to eat?" I smile causing Beomgyu to glare at us. He crosses his arms over his chest as he mocks Hyunjin.

Hyunjin chuckles, "We are going to eat with some of my other friends, and don't worry they aren't as shy as Innie here." He nudges Jeongin's shoulder with his elbow causing Jeongin to glare at him. I nod softly and we all walk out of the school and to the local park where 7 boys are sitting on the grass, 3 of them are wearing school uniforms and the other 4 are wearing regular street clothes. We walked up to them and Beomgyu and I bowed in greeting.

"Guys, this is Chae and Beomgyu. They are my friends" Hyunjin said, "Chae and Beomgyu, this is Woojin hyung, Chan hyung, Minho hyung, Changbin hyung, Han, Felix, and Seungmin."

"Hello," I bow and smile at them, Beomgyu bows but glares at them the whole time jealous that all my attention was on random boys I just met.

"Why did you bring the 20th girl Hyunjin? Why can't you just stick to one" Changbin asked jokingly. Hyunjin glared at him crossing his arms, "This isn't the 20th girl, she's the first girl."

"Bro it was just a joke, don't be so uptight" Changbin crossed his arms glaring at him. "It's not a good thing to fight in front of your girlfriend."

"Hyung shut up! We aren't dating! I don't even like her like that" Hyunjin yells. Beomgyu quickly goes to my side grabbing my hand and I squeeze it tightly, making his fingers turn purple. Han looked over at us confused and ignored it, for now, Minho looked over at us as well and walked over to us.

"Chae, you good?" he asked softly, rubbing my arm gently.

"Yeah, I'm fine" I smile.

"The way you're turning Beomgyu's hand purple doesn't look like it," Minho chuckles as the fighting between Changbin and Hyunjin gets worse. I look down at our hands and I let go of Beomgyu's hand.

"Sorry… but I need to go. Bye," I bow before quickly leaving, Beomgyu and Jeongin on my tail.

"Chae! Wait!" Jeongin yelled after me. We ran until we reached the school and I quickly walked to my next class just in time. I sit down quickly putting my head down on the desk. The teacher walks in with a gloomy look on her face as she sets her books down on her desk. She takes a deep breath before turning to the class, tears brimming her eyes. She opened her mouth to speak but no words came out and she started to cry. Her light brown eyes are full of fear and sadness, something we've never seen in her eyes. She covered her eyes as she cried, shaking with fear she collapsed onto the floor.

"MA'AM?!" one of the girls ran up to her helping her up. "What's wrong teacher?" The teacher took a deep shaky breath trying to calm down.

"I'm sorry, but there's a disease going around with no cure, you guys have to go home quickly and stay out of contact with everyone." Everyone was freaking out asking questions and running around trying to find their friends and siblings. I quickly get up and walk out of the classroom, running to my sister's school. Once I arrive, I run to her classroom.

"Elle! Come with me, now!" I shout making the whole class look at me confused.

"Ma'am, what's the problem?" her teacher asks.

"I need my sister, now" I glare at the teacher.

"Fine, Elle you can leave."

I grab Elle's hand and I pull her out of the school and to someplace where there aren't many people. I turn her to face me, and I hold onto her arms tightly. "Elle, you have to tell the truth, how many people did you touch, how many people did you come in contact with?"

"What's wrong with you? I only touched my friends" she asked confused and slightly angry.

"How many Elle?!" I shout.

"5! ok?! I came into contact with 5 people!"

"You better not lie to me! Now let's get home" I grab her hand and I drag her to the house. Once we arrive, I lock all the windows and the door. I turn on my phone to the news as soon as I sit down on the couch with Elle. There were many things about the disease and how it was making dead people come back to life. I take a shaky breath and I hold Elle close to me afraid to let her go for even a second. Suddenly there was a loud banging on the front door….

INTRO POSTTTT (finally)

hello hi, this is an intro post. one im making after like 4 months here but i procrastinated, as is very true to my character. so this blog is my diary if i had a diary, where i yap, vent, overshare bc i can't help it, hypothesize and put nonsense into the world. ik these posts are supposed to be short but i couldnt help myself im sorry i need to remind myself that im a person sometimes

i'm almost always up to chat with anyone, so send me an ask. it can be about literally anything like your day, or what you're thinking about, what you ate for lunch, music recs, what you're reading actually literally anything. but please don't send donation requests or anything i do support palestine/gaza, ukraine, syria and other countries decimated by disaster but i'm a minor so i cannot donate i'm so sorry

so a character list bc that's what intro posts are for i think:

sorry i can't say my name online bc online safety has been drilled into me and if my mom finds out, she's actually going to end me, so you can just call me glue :)

minor, bisexual, she/her pronouns, Indian

struggling under the regime of the IB curriculum

music lover: i will listen to probably anything so if you have like anyyy music suggestions please do senddd i would love to listen

food lover, writer, poet, fanfic lover, fanfic writer lover, aspiring in-my-head fanfic writer

artists that mostly perfectly define my music profile: billie eillish, taylor swift, chase atlantic, hozier, arctic monkeys, the neighbourhood, gracie abrams, queen (i think), ethel cain (i love her)

comfort tv shows: b99, new girl, and derry girls

other little things i very much love and could talk about for an hour straight: F1 (don't judge, but i love red bull the most but i hate the leadership it's complicated), greek mythology, biology, equality, sociology and psychology, history, english, math (i think. but i do really love it), theatre (an ib theatre kid in a school that doesn't care much about it so i very much have a lot of the lvoe but none of the experience)

i love the starless sea it's my absolute fav book ever

Side blogs: @icantwatchtvaloneforthelifeofme (whenever im watching smth new, which is rare, this is where i yap continuously. currently, it's a bbc merlin obsession)

DNI:

creeps (i'm a minor), racists, sexists, homophobes, transphobes, bullies, science haters/non-believers/deniers

those who degrade people with mental illnesses or are condescending in anyway (stay away go away)

ship haters: when i say ship haters, i mean people who hate and degrade on people who support certain ships. not those who are uncomfortable with certain ships like pro-ships i am too, but if you dont like just block and scroll

that's all i can think off rn and also don't know how to write a DNI list just don't interact if you have nefarious or saviour complex or puritan intentions

anyways

i lowkey feel like this is getting really fucking long so main fandoms, minor obsessions, and reason behind my url (im really proud of it tehehehe)

Main Fandoms: marauders (multishipper, but james and regulus kinnie), skulduggery pleasant, MCU, Good Omens (TV Show), Grishaverse, Song of Achilles, disney (like animated kids movies? but not really kids movies. so like other animated studios too), Arcane (!!!), PJO HOO TOA (haven't read Kane Chronicles yet but that's the only one i skipped), BBC Merlin (it's growing, i just started watching)

Since I'm a part of the marauders fandom, I think it's essential to say that i do not support or agree with JKR in any way, honestly fuck her, she doesn't deserve any of your money or publicity because someone who just uses it to hurt people and be uninformed on an influencial platform really doesn't. please boycott and put in the effort to educate yourself (this point is mainly from the marauders and harry potter fandom but also in general. be aware where your money is going). Also since the snape discourse always comes up and I know that’s kinda like a divisive point the best I can explain my standpoint is through a series of posts: basic standpoint, snape's worst memory and sexual harrassement

Minor obsessions: HTTYD (movies and tv shows), heartstopper, new girl, derry girls, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, cruel prince series, good girls guide to murder, These Violent Delights/Our Violent Ends, gone with the wind, dead boy detectives, the addams family (goals)

my usernameeee: the history behind the username is i went down a rabbit hole like a year ago and made my own personalised website on wix.com bc i wanted a place online to yap and be creative (also made it bc substack looks sooo fucking ugly i couldnt possibly use it, im sorry substack users but i have this urge to use only pretty things) (that's a shitty apology im sorry). and then i made it fully and then forgot about it 2 weeks later. amd then i found tumblr and it's like i found another piece of my soul soooo. oh wait. username lore. yes. this is what i named that website. and it's based on this pin on pinterest thats just a series of text messages and they just go "idk how to say it lol" and then the other person goes "throw words out" "i'll put them together"? well, i saw that and i cried, and because in the thick of moments, i can rarely articulate myself properly when i speak so this blog is like an attempt to put my own words together when my head is like jumbly and stuff aren't sticking im sticking tiny pieces of meaning together <3

also definitions cause i like them and it's cute and im proud of myself for thinking of it:

glue (noun): an adhesive substance used for sticking objects or materials together.

morphemes (noun):  a meaningful morphological unit of a language that cannot be further divided (e.g. in, come, -ing, forming incoming).

you can stay if you want and take a peek. i promise it wont be too insufferable

10 actual ADHD study tips

from a student with ADHD

(or if you just have trouble concentrating)

1. put your phone in different room.

no, really. there can be any number of excuses not to (i use it as an alarm/timer, what if there's an emergency, but i use it during breaks) but i guarantee that you will focus better without the ability to check your social media. if you're genuinely worried about missing a phone call, don't put it on silent, and leave it across the room so you can hear it, but make sure it's out of reach.

2. invest in some noise-cancelling or muffling headphones.

they're a life-saver. i use them to help with sensory overloads, but now i wear them pretty much every time i study. regular headphones with some kind of neutral backing noise also work pretty well.

3. don't listen to music.

maybe somewhere, somehow, there exists a person who can actually listen to music and focus, but i've never met one. my adhd means i get distracted by anything. i'm a good multitasker, but not when the task requires lots of thought, like my science or math homework, or that english essay i've been putting off. if science is distracting for you as well, put on a neutral background noise (no, not lo-fi hiphop beats - unless that works for you). i usually put rain sounds or white or brown noise (the latter is my favourite).

4. break big tasks into small chunks.

you've probably heard this one before, but adhd makes tackling big tasks seem really daunting. like, where do you even start? before beginning a massive project, make a list of every little thing you need to do. it might seem stupid or excessive, but i can't stress how much it helps. it also gives you a sense of accomplishment whenever you knock a task off the list.

5. if you know you're gonna procrastinate, try and do it productively.

this one is one i'm still getting used to. i realised, after hours of sitting at my desk, not wanting to start on my essay but not wanting to actively NOT write my essay, and just generally feeling like shit, that it would have been better to spend those hours doing that thing i wanted to do (learn that song on my guitar, finally finish the painting sitting on my desk, write the poem that i had scribbled in my notebook a week ago). if you know you're not going to get started on your work, you might as well do something else that isn't as pressing but you still need to get done. it's okay not to be 100% productive al the time.

6. have a clear workspace.

this is a big one. i found that having a lot of stuff on or around my desk just makes me feel fenced in. i like to have 1 lamp, 1 cup of pens/pencils/highlighters, a cup of tea, tissues, and whatever i'm working on. when you're done with a task, PUT IT AWAY ASAP. that way, it doesn't build up, and you can feel ready to start on the next thing.

6.5. eliminate distractions.

i feel like this relates to the point above, but don't have lots of visible posters/lights/tempting tasks. maybe close your blinds or your door, or study in a library instead of your room if it is too bright and colourful.

7. the pomodoro method (organising your breaks).

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS. the pomodoro method involves working for a consistent slot of time (usually 25 minutes, but whatever works for you) and then having a short break (5-10 minutes), and then a long break every 2-5 "slots" (15-20 minutes). if you don't trust yourself to stick to a timer, get a cute app on your laptop - there are heaps of different themes, and it will help you organise your time and tasks. instead of thinking about a task like "it will take me 2 hours", think about it like "it will take me 4 slots of time", and it will be much less daunting.

(note: for your breaks, try not to reach for your phone/social media. this is a rabbit hole. maybe draw for a minute, or read a few pages of a book. do something you can easily and quickly put away.)

8. organise yourself, but try not to hyperfixate on it.

apps like notion can be really helpful when organising tasks/your workspace, but they can also suck hours of your time away if you're not careful. not everything has to be perfect/meticulously planned, and you're not working on your homework by planning your weekly schedule. speaking from experience, it's really easy to get caught up in something that may feel productive, but really isn't.

9. this is really niche, but... for my reading-glasses wearers:

WEAR THEM WHEN YOU STUDY. i'm very mildly farsighted, which means wearing glasses when i read for long periods of time helps me prevent headaches. technically, i can go without them, and for a few years i usually did, but i've noticed that wearing them when i study has the benefit of getting me in the right headspace, and also stops me from looking up or around my room too often, as the prescription makes me dizzy when looking at things far away.

10. just get started.

i know you hate hearing this, but usually, knocking one or two things off your list can help you get motivated. often, things that seem really difficult or time consuming aren't as bad once you've gotten started.

good luck!

Not in Kansas Anymore

A/N: I tried some new tings, so I hope it goes well, I didn't wanna end this part where I ended it, but because I tried something new, I went ahead and stopped it there and I was at my minimum 1k requirement I put on myself. But I'll have the next part out soon because I simply cannot leave this where I left it

Mammon x Gn Reader

Angst

Warnings: The Brothers being themselves.

Part 1 • Part 2 • Part 3 • Part 4 • Part 5

The day drags on, class to class, hour by hour. But it was finally time for math! That was the one class you share with Mammon. And you are embarrassed to admit you have missed him. 

When you walk into class, something seems off. It's it the usual class decorations? No. A few students missing? Maybe. Lucifer sitting in your seat? Yep that's it.

"Hello Lucifer." You walk up to him, being cordial after last night. You did not want to be the source of Mammons pain.

"Ah hello MC how are you today?" Lucifer smiles at you.

"Where's Mammon?" You ask and the frown you know so well graces Lucifers features.

"Why are you so infatuated with my brother?" His voice is sturn.

"We share this class together? And sit together? Speaking of you're in my seat." You motion to the chair Lucifer is sitting in.

"If that's all this is, then go sit elsewhere. I'm sitting beside Mammon today to monitor him. His student council mandated escort should be arriving soon." Lucifer turned to face the front of the classroom. You realize that the classroom wasn't missing a few students. But all of the students. All except you.

You heard Mammons signature laughter carry from the hall. Lucifer tensed up. He stands to his full height rubbing his temples. Almost like he expects trouble. Mammon waltzes in arm in arm with Barbatos. You chuckle. You know Barbatos knows the truth. And so does Mammon.

"Really Mammon? I never knew that, well i mean I did, but I preferred hearing it from you." Barbatos says to Mammon as they approach the only two tables in the room.

"Yeah that's why it's my favorite car I'll have to show ya sometime!" Mammon practically jumps with joy. But then he staggers a step. "Once I get it fixed that is." His tone changes, his shoulders drop. You forgot about that.

You forgot that Mammons Favorite car, the one he Treasures the most. The one he keeps on display in his room. Was destroyed. You know what that car means to Mammon. You pull out your D.D.D and send a text to Luke. Luke and Simeon are the only ones you can trust to get the car fixed. Anyone else my mess it up further.

The reason the car means so much to Mammon is because his son gave it to him for Father's day. You remember when Mammon first told you the story. Of the which you summoned The Great Mammon so they could have a child. How that little boy was born with a pact mark with him. Almost like Demonic child support. Anytime that child needed anything, Mammon was there. His son succeeded in life because his father had his back. Mammon told you it was easier helping to raise Dion than raising Satan.

Dwelling on this happy memory you also remember when Mammon told you that the reason he can't go to the human world is not because of witches or any bad deal. When his son died, he'd visit his grave as much as possible. Lucifer saw his "joy ride trips" as unnecessary and banned Mammon from going to the human world.

And just like that.... you're pissed at Lucifer again.

During your little reminiscent episode. Barbatos took the seat next to you and Mammon sat with Lucifer. Lucifer insist that Barbatos did not need to stay but Barbatos insisted he should. Looks like your stuck with the three of them.

Math passed semi smoothly. Mammon did just as good in class as he did on tests. Lucifer still had doubt written all over his features. Barbatos just looked disappointed.

After class ended the four of you met up with the other brothers and were promptly escorted to the castle. You did not make it through the front door before they start.

"Barbatos I appreciate you agreeing to help us with this issue." Lucifer says as they lead everyone through the garden entrance.

"I'm suprised it got this far honestly, I thought he would have crumbled by now." Satan smiles wide looking in Belphie's direction.

"LOLOLOL I'm suprised a scumbag like him even tries anymore. We know the truth this is pathetic really, almost as sad as 'That one time I tried to trick my family into thinking i am a good person' but even in that anime he realized he just had to be himself and his family would accept him anyway. Only we know how Mammon really is, so it's sad he's even trying this." Levi rants. Belphie goes to say something but Beel puts a hand on his shoulder, Belphie stops. Satan eyes them both.

As you all walk into the castle and prepare to be shown the truth by Barbatos, your D.D.D buzzes.

“ are you okay with me touching you? “

- with Seine and Ampere pls godbless

It was meant to be a simple little patrol. A test drive, if you would. Atlas gave some impassioned (if a bit derivative) speech about starting with the small things and being seen that Ampere had pretty much zoned out of.

He had a math test tomorrow, sue him.

Plus Seine always remembered routes so it was fine if he took a backseat for a little bit to go over the different conic sections in his head again. The hyperbola was the weird split one... right?

It was, as Seine confirmed once they got on the street.

And patrol was going fine. They stopped a few harassers from tailing and cat calling, managed to snag a petty thief, hung out around with some street musicians and get food along the way, not a bad night overall.

Around halfway through, though, Ampere noticed that none of the street signs looked- well. Familiar.

"Hey, uh, Seine? Where... are we exactly?"

"We're on the patrol route, obviously." She peered over the side of the fire escape stairs, "And don't tell me we're not, you didn't hear a word he said."

Okay first, ouch. Second though...

"Seine, are you sure? Absolutely sure? Because we did run off after that one purse thief, and then we stopped in at that bodega for a while, and..."

Seine paled, checking the street names more closely this time, eyes wide, "No- no I was sure we'd turned back around earlier-"

Seine scrambled down the stairs and down to the street, pulling at her hair as she muttered street name after street name before coming up short.

"It's our first mission I was so sure I had it all memorized and handled! I thought I- I was ready but I'm..."

She trailed off, voice failing her. Ampere rocked on his heels and glanced around, double checking (for her sake) that there weren't any gawkers. (They made fights and just existing hell.)

"Do you want me to call Atlas? He'll tell us where we're supposed to be going," yes his phone was dead but he could always charge it, "if we have to-"

"N-no," Seine muttered, head barely shaking.

From where Ampere was standing he could almost hear the thoughts racing around her head at a million miles per hour. Usually that resulted in more sparks for him, but Seine just stared, gaze unfocused and body trying so hard to keep up with the adrenaline.

Ampere crept towards her, hands up and open.

"A-are you okay with me touching you? My hands might still be a- a little staticky so I don't want to- to shock you."

Seine shook her head slightly again, breath still uneven and hands still shaking.

"Okay! Yup, no problem, no problem."

Shit, what did his mom say whenever he got overwhelmed? Ampere flapped his left hand as he mulled over what to do next. Options... something about options... Oh!

"Seine?"

"Mhm?"

"Distraction or help? I can just talk about stuff or," Ampere demonstrated possibly the most over exaggerated breathing exercise anyone had ever seen, "I can try to remember what the timing of a calming cat gif was."

His partner huffed out a half laugh, still quite tense but it was a start. She held up a single finger. Well, there was his answer.

"Okay, so I have a test tomorrow- geometry, so already fun right? Anyways, there's these things called conic sections- basically there's 4 of them: the circle, duh, the ellipse, the parabola, and the hyperbola..."

They stood in the alley for a while, Ampere rambling about everything he could remember, and Seine slowly coming back to earth, even splashing him when he asked her how her upcoming role as Juliet was going (she had a hopeless crush on the girl playing Rosaline). Once she was fully back, she gave him a hug, which he gladly returned.

"Promise you're not going to tell Atlas about this?"

"Only if you promise not to tell him I wasn't listening earlier."

"Deal."

Next patrol, he'd pay attention so Seine didn't have to carry the whole layout of the city. He could handle that.

And ideally he wouldn't have a test the next day either. A boy could dream.

Okay I feel like this is going to be a long one, so i'll go ahead and turn my response into an incoherent list of observations, answers to questions or statements that probably don't require them, or to no question or statement in particular and maybe even an incidental unrelated fact or opinion:

Yes, it does suck, but also I decided to use a grater to make thin little flakes of chocolate just for the flavour.

Sucks you can't eat chocolate, are you lactose intolerant? 

Commas are, indeed, very important. Did you know they use commas in musical notation to tell singers when to breathe?

Related to that, singing lessons (or even singing in a choir or something similar) could help with your reading aloud and breathing issues for sure. Although I don't know if you have any singing experience so I'd understand if that's not your thing. I wish it would be everyone's thing though.

Just to throw in a completely random fact, as I am not about to jeopardise the promised incoherence of this list: In medieval times red hair was believed to be a sign of beastly sexual desire and moral degeneration. I assume by your blogname you too are a redhead. I read this today and thought it was wild.

Aching muscles are a sign of hard work, so good job, although it is very important to rest said limbs!

Great job for still going out and facing things you get anxious about, I imagine thats not an easy thing for you. I also hope you have help and/or coping mechanisms to deal with the anxiety you're experiencing.

You're description of the "heartbreak angst fic" is (probably intentionally) quite vague, but I can make out several points. 

I get not wanting big time jumps, although it could be fun to make a jump and then have R reflect what happened in between those moments in time. Could be a tad chaotic, but then again, you know me. 

R crossing paths with their ex sounds rather angsty, so my answer to that is: yes please.

Have you already thought out part 4 completely? I guess (without any context) I'd end exactly where part 4 takes off, but very open. A cliffhanger of sorts, without falling into too much of a cliché ending.

I'm sorry if my answer is too long to post. Although we were going to stop apologising for rambling so scratch this.

Sending you all the love my friend (can I call you my friend now?),

-Chaotic Anon

it's the way i read this, processed some answers but ended up having a nap, then dinner and i just- wow suddenly it's half an hour to midnight...

i can eat chocolate, it's just when i'm stressed my jaw and teeth hate me and it makes biting solid foods a bit grimace-y, y'know, i love chocolate, just not gooey stuff like gooey caramel stuff, don't like goop, it's a texture no no for me sksks

i did not, music was one of the very much underfunded classes when i was in school, before they started cutting hours subjects to make more room for maths, english and sciences. my confidence is on the floor with speaking, singing is... i can hum, humming is better for me, my friend liked my humming once.

yeah, i'm a natural redhead, which means that i need more anaesthetic if i go for any medical procedure (there's research to back it up, we're hard to knock out) and i think only 2% of the planet have red hair, so i stick out like a sore thumb and red heads are barely anyone's type unless it comes to Natasha Romanoff from Marvel, so that's fun... times change sksks

yeah we had to demonstrate that we could do cpr on a dummy for a minute, i fell over trying to stand up after, so that was great too.

my coping mechanisms for my anxiety are messy and depend on why i am anxious, but my psychology degree plus the cbt i've had in the past mean that i am super aware of my thought processes, but it's hard to stop my body from freaking out e.g. racing heart, clenching my jaw in my sleep... when i can sleep, etc

yeah i forgot the name of the fic, is Secret Love Song, my recent one, i have part 2 down, part 3 just feels stuck because i don't know where to end it, or when to post part 2, but R's development in part 2 and part 3 is key to the endings and I just... i'm stuck. also the only way R would cross paths with their ex is the ballon d'or ceremony... and i don't even know where to go with that, so... yeah...

no worries about longetivity, my fics have been in the 5k+ range before so... i have no shame sksks

sure, sure, if you want to be internet friends red haired anxious pineapple such as myself😅🤔 you don't have to be though.

Day 4

S1E3 Gold Meddlers

Ah yes. A nice little sketch firing shots at the Olympics, starring the Warners.

Starts off innocent enough, where the Warners are camping and are about to break out the s'mores.

Only problem? Wakko forgot the chocolate! Oh the tragedy! (I'm not entirely convinced Wakko didn't just eat it all and forgot.)

And then, they meet Nils Niedhart, who's described as a "lazily rendered stereotype", there to compete in the Olympics for gold medals.

Apparently the Warners have been camping on the Olympics torch, and Nils won't have them ruining his glory of bringing home the gold.

Upon seeing the medals themselves, they assume the medals are actually high quality chocolate wrapped in gold foil, and decide they're going to enter the Olympics themselves to win them.

As a side note, I think the Olympics would be waaaaaaaay better if the medals were chocolate instead of metal, but that's just me.

Nils wraps them up in their rent and throws them across the world.

Yakko can't help but toss in a pun about it being very "in-tents", and we see THIS.

It's confirmed, folks! Mime is back!

So, after their quick trip around the world in 8 seconds, they declare they will be competing against Nils for the gold medals.

First up: the high dive, and my main man Yakko is the one taking the plunge.

After Nils takes his turn, Wakko and Dot say THIS.

Someone said that this episode was also poking fun at character continuity, to further distance itself from the original show, but I just can't fully buy that.

I sincerely can't recall any sketches where it shows he's bad at math, but it HAS been proven more than once that Yakko's actually pretty damn good at math, to where he even impressed an entire hall of mathematicians enough to where they gave him a standing O.

(Source: Super Strong Warner siblings, and to save you time, just type that into the search bar on my dash, and you'll see what I'm talking about.)

If the bad at math thing turns out to be true, I offer you this: It's only certain types of math he's bad at, much like any other person on the planet can relate to. Take me as an example. My mathematic expertise is in algebra, but put me in geometry or business math, and I'm lost.

Anyway, back to the sketch.

As Yakko prepares to take his own turn at the high dive, we hear Dot confirming what we knew all along.

Yakko obviously wins, and it's Dot's turn, this time in equestrian.

And we get THIS typical sibling banter, with Wakko firing shots at Yakko's World.

And the fact that the songs playing in the background while he does so doesn't hurt either.

Another side note: based off my personal experience, the reason Yakko's is more popular is because we only needed to know the state capitals back in elementary school, whereas in high school we were constantly having to memorize different countries of the world depending on what region we were studying.

And if I'm being honest? Of the two, all I remember is the first verse of Wakko's America, all the way up to Nashville. Which is no one's fault, other than my own for having a crappy memory.

Anyway, they all watch as Dot gets ready to take her turn with a donkey, which turns into a pegasus right before the judge's eyes, and we see THIS.

With a horse like that, it's no wonder she wins, and then it's Wakko's turn.

The event? Ping Pong!

Which Wakko wins in a technicality that states he can in fact eat the ping pong balls and spit them back out.

That's when Nils gets really fired up, and declares he's done going easy on them.

Next up is volleyball, where all three of them are working together, and I just want to take a moment here to show you the brilliance of Yakko Warner's athletic ability.

I don't want to hear one word about toon physics, okay? Even with it, it still has to take a lot of practicing and precision to be able to not only jump that high, but to somersault as you're spiking the ball, and land perfectly on top of the net.

You can't change my mind.

After that comes the discus throw, with Dot taking the lead.

Regardless of how far it went, or toon physics, you can still appreciate how she's strong enough to throw something as heavy as a discus like it's a Frisbee.

And it looks like Yakko and Wakko agree, because we see them do THIS.

All the fic asks, if you dare

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha

1. approximately how many fics would you say you read in a year?

at least 30 (70 if skimming counts)

2. approximately how many fics would you say you write in a year?

1 or 2 (5-7 if drabbles count)

3. what’s one character that you write in fics or rp that has changed your life, one that you couldn’t do without?

timothy drake :)

4. what’s your favorite au premise?

i love domestic and deaging!aus very near and dear to my heart. or aus where some character(s) never died.

5. what’s the optimal wordcount for a fic? (it, of course, depends. but what do you like?)

i wanna say 10k

6. describe a fic that has or would bring you to tears. links appreciated.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/30902738

7. describe a fic that has or would make you smile very hard and bury your face into your pillow / potentially scream a little bit. links appreciated.

any fic that features bruce wayne having vague well-meaning but overprotective tendencies tends to do this to me in spades lol

8. what kind of fic do you like to read at 3am? be as specific as you dare…

horror stories... >:) i like to be scared sometimes

9. what’s a fic you’ve thought of while you were drifting off to sleep?

lately i've been high on the whole somebody-wants-to-prove-theirself-so-they-run-off-and-get-into-a-dangerous-situation-whilst-trying-to-prove-theirself-necessitating-their-caretaker-and-or-boss-to-come-and-save-them trope. i think last night it was apollo justice lol.

10. what’s a huge fic project that you’ve always wanted to work on but never can find the time?

a series of fics sort of chronicling different stages in tim drake's time with the robin mantle and how he grew and changed. for flavor, a grander overarching plot involving tims from different universes working together.

11. what’s a fic you’ve thought of while showering/bathing?

something iddy probably, or i forgot :o

12. what’s your go-to plot bunny and/or trope when you’re daydreaming?

some form of domestic au!

13. make up a fic title for a brand new fic you’ve never thought of before.

"monstrous moonshine" <- this is a real term in advanced math, google it. never found a good place to use it but i would love to

14. tell us about a fanon misconception that often shows up in fic about one of your favorite characters, and why it’s completely wrong

tim drake does NOT cry easily. he's more likely to hide his emotions than not. although fics where he cries can be done really well. i don't think stress or pain alone would be enough to make him cry though, he is pretty tough. i just think too many fics portray him as a wilting lily when he so is not.

15. do you experience synesthesia when you write? what about when you read?

i get a very detailed mental image almost like a movie in my head whenever i read or write anything that i halfway care about. if it's something i'm required to read or write, then i don't get any image of it and usually retain nothing lol

16. have you ever written something fluffy that made you feel happy, then pulled back because you didn’t want to get comments about writing something ooc? any other situations similar to this come up?

yes, i do like to write a lot of deaging! fic for myself. it's a comfort thing. but, i keep most of it to myself not because i think it's bad writing but because i would rather avoid any kind of comments on it, good or bad. maybe i'll post some of it someday with comments disabled, lol.

17. if a 12 or 13 y/o approached you for advice on starting to write and publish fanfiction (whether for personal enjoyment or in a friendly, age-appropriate public/internet space), what would you teach them?

not worry so much about spelling and grammar. things like that are easily improvable later on and it can be really paralyzing when you're jumping in and proofreading manically. also you don't necessarily need your work to be beta read to post it, there's no rule about that anywhere.

18. what’s a very small headcanon that you have that could easily be a novel-length fic if you had the time?

idk i just want to see other people's answers to this

19. who’s that character and what is a specific canon moment for that character that you can talk about for centuries and just never ever get tired of it?

that moment in ace attorney dual destinies (which is admittedly a horrible game otherwise) where apollo mimicked kristoph gavin on the stand. WHAT WAS THAT. WHAT THE FUCK.

20. have you tried to get people in your life on board with your fanfiction or is it all super secret because they’d never understand?

no never. and never will lmao.

21. hurt/comfort specific: have you ever written a hurt/comfort fic that reflected something that you have personally been through in your life?

i've not written any specific moments into my fics but the wip i'm writing now has had me drawing on interactions i've had with certain narcissists in the past
