HI FRIEND I SAW U WERE DOING $5 COMMISSIONS!?? what are your any and all hcs for wuthering waves any character?? especiallyJiyanaheehehehe ily thank you MWAH
Tumblr media
[General Jiyan headcanons] [x reader!]
Tumblr media
Summary: headcanons for Jiyan! And you, of course.
Warnings: None that I can think of!
A/N: Jiyan,,,,belobed,,,, thank you for commissioning me!! I hope this is okay!
Tumblr media
Jiyan is a busy man, and it's hard for him to take the time away from his duties to spend quality time with you. But he does try.
He's the kind of lover who will make his way home to you in the dead of night, to find you curled up in bed. He makes sure to remove all his armor so the clanking doesn't wake you.
He rests his hand on your face, gently brushing the hair out of your face as he smiles warmly down at you. You're the reason why he fights so hard everyday, he has to protect you and the others, no matter what.
I don't think he'd be touchy, but let's you cling onto him as much as your little heart desires, it doesn't bother him, he only asks that you don't do it while he's on duty.
Hug him, squeeze him, kiss him all you want, he'll sit there and take it because while he may not show it in public, bro will kiss you breathlessly at home.
It's so bad that you gotta tap his shoulder to get him off, you're literally gonna suffocate.
He trains you to protect yourself, he is away alot. This is a no brainer, he worries about you every moment he's away even if he knows it may distract him from his job as a general. He shoves you out of his mind as much as possible, he really does try but it's still there.
Jiyan is a really good househusband, dare I say the better cook and housekeeper. There's something about taking care of you that fills him with joy. While he won't do every, he does every chore with you or you both split it equally.
He likes to playfully flick water off of his fingers at you, and then act as if nothing happened.
"Jiyan, did you just?" "No, what are you referring to?" "You flicked water on me!" "I think you're going a bit insane, my dear."
Oh my god can I say he's youe scary dog privilege? Very few people know you're his partner, so when it does come up, it's usually when you're at the market collecting fruits and vegetables and the like.
He trials behind you like a shadow, humming and nodding when you ask him his preference.
Let's say this is before marriage, he gets RED when people pass along their congratulations to the both of you, he doesn't deny it, just shaking his head behind you with a finger to his lips.
He does have a ring, but it's at the base, statched under his pillow where it'll sit until he's ready.
He doesn't think he'll ever be ready, but when you smile and blush like that, he knows the time will come soon.

YOU WOKE UP with a pounding headache. you could hear your alarm going off. groaning, you turned over in your bed to turn off the alarm. but to your surprise, you accidentally bumped into jenson, who seemed to have fallen asleep in your bed last night, instead.
jenson stirs, eyes opening half-way. "..morning." he murmurs sleepily. "how'd you sleep, love?"
*furrowing your eyebrows, you stammer." "..did i- did we- why are you-?"
"relax, darling." jenson hums. "you drank a *little* too much last night. and no, we didn't do any of the sort. you didn't answer my question."
"i slept.. well, i have a bad headache." you groan, laying back.
"stay her, ill get you more water." jenson assures you, getting up. he leaves the room and head to the kitchen to see sebastian there. jenson raises his eyebrows.
"good morning to you too. did you and my sister..?"
"no no no, it's not like that." jenson mumbles. "shes hungover as fuck, i was just.. taking care of her, alright?"
sebastian gives him a suspicious look, but shrugs it off as he leans on the counter, sipping his coffee.
"uhh, so do you and y/n live together?" jenson asks as he fills up a glass of water.
"oh no, im just staying with her for the time being until the next race comes up." sebastian says.
"ah, nice, i see." jenson nods before going back to your room. "hey, you alright?"
"yeah, i think.." you mumble, drinking your water. "my stomach feels like the insides are all twisted up."
jenson chuckles softly. "rest more, love. you need it."
you lay there for a few minutes, staring up at the ceiling with jenson next to you.
"..hey, jense?" you ask after a few minutes.
"yeah?" he responds immediately.
"thank you." you mumble, turning to him. "thank you for taking care of me."
jenson smiles, pushing your hair away from your face. "anything for a pretty girl like you." he teases.
you laugh, nudging him playfully. "you're a dick."
"oh c'mon, you love me!" jenson grins.
"i do." you giggle.
jenson looks at you tenderly, his eyes filled with adoration.
"augh, this is worse than cramps." you grumble, twisting and turning in bed. you take another sip of water. jenson pushes the hair away from your face, making sure it didn't get in the way. you smile, appreciating the gesture.
"did i do anything.. *weird* last night?" you ask, breaking the silence.
"does dancing like crazy count? to be fair, i've met many people who've done that, so i don't know if that falls into the 'weird' category." jenson teases. you laugh softly, your head falling back.
"i suppose not, but my dancing is definitely crazy." you say jokingly.
"nah, you're definitely better than me." jenson laughs.
"..thanks again, jense. you're an amazing friend." you hum.
jenson smiles, but there's a hint of sadness in his eyes.
you furrow your eyebrows. "is something wrong?"
jenson purses his lips, looking away. "somewhere along the way, you became more than just a friend. i can't keep pretending i love you only as a friend."

Simon 'Ghost' Riley: How You Started Dating (and some little things about Ghost)
Warnings: mentions of cigarettes and smoking, references to PTSD, scars
A/N: Once again, a disclaimer: I base this on Ghost’s backstory according to the comic books as well as the video games but this is just my take so if you imagined him differently, that is totally valid!
NEW MASTERLIST
* * *
I think Simon would be attracted to someone outside his work; someone in a different profession, because he would see his team members more as family than partners
Besides, he keeps his private life separated from his work, so I don't think it's likely he would fall in love with a co-worker simply because of this 'mental barrier' of how he sees them
His girlfriend could be anything from nurse, veterinarian, café owner, teacher, academic to chef or artist. I don't think Ghost would find a romantic connection with someone working a similar job as him or something in law enforcement
You met in a café where he forgot his wallet on the counter and you were the customer waiting next-in-line who ran after him. Simon most definitely insisted to buy you coffee as a thanks (but in reality he was just taken aback by your looks because he found you very pretty) (full fic: Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley: How You Met)
You found it unusual why the bottom half of his face was hidden behind a mask but Simon was a stranger to you at that time so you didn't presume to ask
Because he is so shy and reserved at first, after asking you out for a few coffees, you presumed he was just very grateful and did not know when to stop showing it, or he just wanted to be friends. Your 'dates' were very pleasant but you found yourself doing most of the talking and learning very little of Simon
But when he walked you home that night, an angry car rushed by and Simon pushed you behind him, even though you were both standing on the pavement, as if a tank was coming at you not a car whooshing down the street
"Are you okay?" he asked and took your face into his calloused hands. The caring you saw in his eyes was not one of gratitude nor mere friendship-in-the-making. His heart was racing and his lips were parted and you could hardly imagine a man of his stature and career to be afraid of anything. But apparently, Simon was afraid of you getting hurt
Afterwards, Ghost walked you home and insisted you stay on the inner side of the pavement whilst he held your hand (this is something he did not insist on although his secure grip suggested otherwise)
You suddenly realized as you saw him so deep in thought that Simon was a man of few words but many actions
You smiled to yourself and squeezed his hand as you caressed your thumb across his. Simon woke from his thought, his eyes widened and just a glimpse of blush crept to his unshaven cheeks from behind the mask
Also some little things you would find out about Ghost; he does not like animals much (because of his father) but he does find cats and dogs very therapeutic and if he had the chance, he would adopt both (but he can't because he is away a lot because of work)
You also learned that Simon likes his coffee black with one sugar but he prefers tea
He is also an occasional smoker; it used to help with his anxiety but when he learns you're not a big fan of kissing smokers, Simon keeps his habit to a minimum
He likes Marlboro Reds because they're pretty strong but he also smoked Davidoff Classics for a while
Simon's favourite colours are earthy red (like terra cotta), sage green and pale dark blue
He is a very light sleeper; the smallest unnatural noise wakes him
Simon is also an early birth rather than a night owl; he likes to go to bed pretty early and also wakes up almost with the dawn - he likes quiet mornings with a cigarette and a cup of British tea; the only thing better, in Simon's opinion, is when you're there with him
Bonus: How I personally imagine what Ghost looks like
Simon has a mixture of brown and ginger hair although his beard is entirely the latter. I think his standard hairstyle is a military cut but when he is off duty, he lets it grow a bit longer
His cheeks are unshaven the majority of the time so that the scars are not as visible
Ghost's eyes are pale blue, grey sometimes, although they were nearly aquamarine when he was a baby
Also, I think Ghost has a bit of natural undereye circles which make him look perpetually tired
His left forearm is entirely covered in tattoos reaching even past his elbow. The images are mainly motives of warfare and military but deep down they're a representation of Simon's life
Obviously, Ghost is very tall (about 6'2 or 6'3) and muscular; also a bit of a big boy <3

Belated MLK Day Special: Our Friend Martin AKA Martin Luther King: Time Jesus (Commission for WeirdKev27)
Tumblr media
Hello all you happy people and a happy very belated MLK day to you all. What happened was the slot only opened up for this review on the day itself and it took me a while to watch it but frankly any day is good for honoring Martin Luther King. And today we're honoring the good doctor, hero, legend, and man of peace with a look at a bizzare educational film that attempts to do the same. It... it certainly tried.
Our Friend Martin comes to us from 1999 and from 90's animation and home video giant DiC. I don't have much more: the film was shown in classrooms as my friend cory has vauge memories of it and was nominated for the outstanding animated program emmy, but wikipedia didn't have much more. It does have an absolutely STACKED cast: LaVar Burton, Jaleel White, Ed Asner, Angela Basset, Whoopi Goldberg, Samuel L. Jackson, James Earl Jones, Ashly Judd, Susan Sarandon, John Travolta, Adam Wylie and current at the time of this writing Behind the Bastards subject Oprah Winfrey. Most of these are small rolls, a scene a piece, but it's still impressive and heartwarming just how many big names showed up for this.
Our Friend Martin is a lot. It has a child's shirt being ripped off as a running gag in the same film as an entirely accurate look at the Birmingham Riot. It's a film that's geninely educational as I learned some stuff from this specail.. but also uses time travel and has Martin Luther King sacrifice himself to save the future. It's a film that despite being behind I still badly wanted to review as it's something you just kinda have to get out of your system. Something so singularly weird yet exactly what you'd expect of it's time. it's our friend martin and it' under the cut.
Tumblr media
Our Friend Martin is the story of Miles, an enthusastic young boy who dearly loves baseball and is a huge Hank Aaron fan but is bad at school. What I like is that there's some nuance to it, as Miles later tells his teacher part of why he focuses on it is he figures there's no real out for black people besides being famous and thus isn't focusing.
He's also 12 so his mom threatens to take away baseball and his teacher admits the principal wants to hold him back if his grade keeps up. Miles knows what most kids, and this grown ass man tend to know about Martin Luther King: he was a good man, did a lot of great things for civil rights. I know a bit more, his orignization of the march on washington.. but the fact I don't know much more than a fictional 12 year old is fucking damming and something that shamed me as I watched this. I mean.. I should know more about a man who helped make the world far better and was taken far too soon than what I barely remember from school. Granted my missouri education whitewashed a lot of stuff about the civil war, so i'm not super surprised we didn't have a big deep dive into martin luther king and all the horrible shit racist assholes did to him.
Miles is played by Robert Ri'chard. As I learned thanks to the magic of wikipedia, the child cast here all went on to do stuff, and Ri'chard went on to be the love intrest in One on One, a sitcom I dearly remember for being great fun when it was on the N, starring Proud Family's Kyla Pratt and having a bitching theme song.
His mom isn't in the movie much but is played by film legend and 911 superstar Angela Basset, one of many big names here for about 5 seconds but doing a terrific job.
Miles has other problems too in this case Kyle, his bully who as is standard for 90's bullies, wants to beat on him because shut up, is mildly dumb, has a weird haircut and gets comically humilated. In most cases this would be tripping in a puddle or having a dog bite him or getting escorted out of a ballet school after chasing Alfalfa and Spanky in there. In this case he chases Miles to the bus every day where he gets on just in time and the crazy old buss driver shuts the door on his shirt and drives off. This does not as you'd guess lead to Kyle being drug along the road to school to think about what he did and possibly be scarred for life, but instead his shirt just gets ripped off.
Now this is already fucking weird. When descirbing this to my good friend Jess, her response was an understandable
Tumblr media
But it gets weirder, as Kyle now needs a ride in the car from his chainsmoking dad. His chainsmoking dad is only in one scene smoking it up, berating his son for being a half shirted looser and because they could get John Trevolta for a cameo. Weirdly he does not return later when they come back and the future is a back to the future part 2 style hellhole. Yes we're going full biff tanen for this one.
So on top of this, not only does this bus driver rip shirts off, but he also nearly runs children over. A lot. To the point miles is used to it. His name is Wild Man Willis and he's voiced by Richard Kind though we don't hear him till he shows up in the biff tanen timeline. Now granted all but one white person in the Biff Tanen timeline is a violent racist but the fact Mad Dog nearly runs over a black child every day tells me that maybe he always was and this is just plausable deniablity. Not all that plausable mind you as "I hit a child with a bus because I can't publicly do hate crimes again yet" isn't a defense in 1999, but hey.
So yeah already we have attempted comedy and attempted manslaughter and while it won't get WEIRDER it certeainly comes close.
For now let's meet the rest of the main cast as they prepare for a field trip: First up is Randy, Miles Token White best friend with a questionable southren accent, played by future fast in the furious tokyo drift star Lucas Black, once again in a roll he just was not ready for. Tokyo Drift speaks with a horrible southren accent they shoudl've just abandoned as young mister black cannot keep it up. Randy is a skateboarding cool dude who unforutnately is in most of this movie. I do not blame his voice on BLack whow as a children at the time, but more on the voice directors for not getting a better performance or dropping the southren accent.
Filling out the class is Maria, played by Jessica Cruz of On my Block and Liv and Maddie fame, both shows I haven't watched but I will give credit where it's due for. Maria is poorly written as the brains. She's not stupidly written but she is a know at all type a who constantly downtalks the main cast and whines constantly. It's a case of me appreciating that they made the only latina member of the cast smart.. but then being annoyed that she's that sort of smart that grates. The kind of person who just ahs to waggle their brain in your face.
Teaching these annoying children is Mrs. Dale, a hippie teacher who is wise and kinda there and played by Ashley Judd. That's about it.
Now we've met our cardboard cutouts their taken to visit Dr. Martin Luther King's home, and meet the curator, Mrs. Peck.
Tumblr media
Yup Whoopi Goldberg taking a break from the Enterprise and the View to help with time travel. Or maybe this is Guinan as she is hundreds of years old. Point is Whoopi Goldberg is helping children travel through time so we should get back to that. When shown MLK's childhood bedroom miles notices some sparks and decides to visit the roped off room.. and is let in when Whoopi notices he has the touch, winds the magic time watch and off we go.
First stop is Martin Luther King Age 12, whose playing some baseball. We get the usual "We've traveled back in time?!" stuff you expect, not realizing it, realizing this is young version of person, etc. You get it.
It's also one of the more effective segments as young martin is playing with some white kids... whose racist mom shows up, berates them for playing with the "colored" and tells Randy, whose also here, point blank if he keeps hanging out with black people "he'll hang from the same tree as them" I... I don't have a pithy reaction image for that this special went fucking hard and it won't be the last time. For all it's flaws and weirdness.. this specail dosen't sugarcoat racisim. It isn't as blunt as it could be, but it's still blunt enough to make it clear just how bad it was. While most kids films, especailly edutainment like this, woudlnt' shy from the racisim part, the mention of hangings and some of the later stuff is pretty damn blunt, as well as the whole biff tanen future.
Next they join a teen martin on a train, finding out about segregation first hand. Danny Glover is the train conductor. That's.. not the best use of your Danny Glover film. They do make better use of their other stars for this bit: Jaleel White plays teen martin very well and I appricate having a diffrent performer for each time period. I"m already a fan of Jaleel as a voice actor, and i'd say he's my faviorite of the martins, injecting some energy into him. James Earl Jones plays Martin's father Reverened King, who the boys meet as they join MLK for supper and I like emphasising that his father made rounds, visting the sick and those who can't leave the home for prayer and such, imparting WHY MLK was like this: he had a good role model who taught him to look out for people. It's simple, sure, but it works and makes me want to learn more about the good reverened, which is what an educational film should do: teach you but also make you want to learn MORE about the thing. To make you enjoy the subject.
Next up is the Mongomery Bus Boycott, the famous one inspired by the rosa parks incident and something I had heard of because who hasn'.. and this is where the film once again goes hard. After the film's usual repitive round of our heroes trying to get martin to remember them, it happens almost every time and never stops being annoying and it's clear he dosen't from timeline to timeline, Martin gets some horrifying news from his friend Turner, played by Samuel L. Jackson himself who unlike a lot of the cameos in this film, actually gets a decent chunk of time to do stuff. Martin's house has been bombed
I had not heard of this and frankly this should be taught in more classes: The reverend's house is bombed. It woudln't even be the last time as the Birmigham Riots we'll get to next were caused by a bombing in a hotel room Doctor King had stayed at and the bombing of his brother Dexter's house. It's not at all suprising there were attempts on the good doctor's life before the one that sadly succeeded. It dosen't make it any less horrific as his wife , played by Behind the Bastards Subject Oprah Winfrey, Coretta is in deep fear.. and his friend Turner wants blood. It's understandable frustration: all Martin did was the right thing, boycotting the busses for equal rights.. and he was attacked for it. And it's telling his response isn't to join them in the attack (If hammily called by Jackson calling for people to use "guns and bricks") but for peace like Ghandi. IT's overwrought sure but I get the message: we are not them. The sad part is sometimes.. that just dosen't work. I respect dr king, he was a truly wonderful man who fought with peace despite how much he went through, how many hoses were turned on him how much time he spent in jail he persisted. I respet him. I wish peace always worked. I really did and I wish the world he dreamnt of would exist... but even if I don't agree that peace is the only option... I can agree that it should be the main one, and that he's one of the most courageous, kind and brave people i've ever known for fighting for it so damn hard, for fighting for what everyone should've had all along.
So to hammer this in our heroes are transported to the Birmingham Riot of 1963, something I dove into on wikipedia and was.. ugly. The short version is that Civil Rights Protestors were targeted and after bombings on Dr King's brother and an attempt on his life the people took to the streets and riots broke out, not unfairly given .. everything. What the special cuts is that John F Kennedy decided to quell the riots.. after all the violence against black people essentially sending the national guard to beat up black people rightfully upset that racists attempted to murder people just doing the right thing and had already taken several firehoses to the face from Bulll Connor, racist politican bafflingly voiced by Frank Welker here.
It's.. a bizzare experince to be sure. I don't doubt frank as a voice actor, he's one of the best in the buisness. He's scooby fucking doo, nuff said. And he has played villians, most famously president megatron
Tumblr media
But it's very werid to hear one of his staple voices coming out of historical monster bull connor. He's a pitch or two from Megatron turning the fire hose on protestors. It's .. a lot.
The rest is fantastically done.. a horrifying panoply of dogs, fire hoses and bottles broken as violence spirals and our heroes are just.. lost in it. Their not hurt because edutainment, but I apricate the effort. It's a truly horrifying scene.
So it's back to the present and while he's genuinely learned some stuff Miles main takeaway is "time travel is rad" and "Martin Luther King is my friend now" so he plans to go back with randy tommorow.
The next day in class we get one of the weaker scenes. After a quick check that yup Kyle lost his shirt again and escaped death once again, our heroes chime in on a discussion of MLK and narrate over a video shown historical facts about King's arrest by bull connor, his being held and how after days of hearing nothing his wife called JFK who while a piece of shit about the riots, let's not mince words, did the right thing here and put pressure to get the good doctor released. IT's interesting stuff but I question both why this wasn't another stop on their time journey. Was it because King woudl've been absent if theyd idn't visit the jail itself? I dunno. It's weird.
Speaking of weird we have the weird way a lot of historical footage is used.. with a lot of color filters over grainy old footage. It looks weird isn't great and is mostly there to paper over where they didn't have the budget to animate something.
During the footage miles and co are spotted by Maria. Suspcious she tails them to the king house.. and brings Kevin because.....
Tumblr media
So Miles and skrateboard get let back in while Whoopi Goldberg warns them about alterting witht he fabric of time. With a vauge warning instead of saying "Don't change the past dumbass". She lets Maria and Kevin in because why not send more dumbass children through time, and they end up in the room and end up traveling to the march on washington.
Kevin looses his shirt, again and he and miles prepare to throw hands but are stopped by Dr King. He was played by Levar Burton in the previous flashback and now by King's son Dexter, who does a great job especailly for someone who dosen't voice act regularly. The kids encounter their teacher as a younger woman, a bit I love, and Miles buys kevin a shit to bury the hatchet. The running gag comes full circle.
So we get the I Have a dream Speech.. which is done via archival footage but is still as stirring as ever and is the only time the use of historical stock footage works. The man's audio himself is the only way this really coudl've gone and while i'ms ure his son could've recited the speech well, and by heart, it feels right to use Martin's own words.
The kids are inspired and return and Miles is ready for more adventures.. till he finds out the awful truth... Martin Luther King was assassinated. And here's where I feel the film slips up: while the idea of this last act isn't horrible.. I question why it was necessary. The film's already nearly an hour long, it's more than long enough to fill up a class period or tv schedule. Why did we need Miles to go back in time to save Martin Luther king but destroy the present? It dosen't really add much... we get from the various flashbacks how important martin is, and Miles hearing the I have a dream speech in person feels like a better climax. Or if you have to touch on his assination have him be too late and instead go to the funeral. Or talk to martin shortly before and have MLK comfort him. THere were other methods
but instead miles grabs 12 year old martin.. whcih itself is just.. why? I get it was th efirst he met but woudln't it make more sense to grab him BEFORE he died? As a result time is destroyed and everyone else looses their memory.
So after ominously hinting at it all review, let's talk about the Biff Tanen Timeline. With MLK disappearing at age 12 miles is living in a beaten down apartment, MLK"s childhood home is rubble, and Randy's now Racist Randy, while Miles stupidly goes to his school and gets shooed out by the racist principal played by Ed Asner in a wasted part. Also maria can no longer speak english which... kay.
I'm... very mixed on this. I do like some touches like Randy being racist, showing had things just been slightly diffrent he woudln't be the kind annoying dullard we know but a racist asshole. And I may fucking hate randy but Racist Randy is even worse. Kevin would largely be the same but without his shirt based face turn from the sacred timeline.
My two big issues are
Miles is a fucking dumbass the whole segment and while I get not all fictional kids are going to be Marcy Wu levels of genre savy and spot the tropes, it's too blindingly obvious for him to not get, let alone for Martin alone to figure out.
While the present would be worse, which yes is possible, if MLK never existed, it feels insulting to all the other brave men and women (And probably a few nbs) in the civil rights movement, men and women who I wish I knew more names of and feel like researching more after this entirely due to this section of the film, to insuiate NO PROGRESS would be made without him. I get it, this is a late 90's edutainment specail. It's not going to be subtle. But MLK, while one of the biggest faces of civil rights was not the only one who fought for them. History would not be the same, things would've taken longer to set on the right course. It would not be good.. but I refuse to belivie all those involved would've done nothing. That Malcom X would've done nothing had MLK not existed. That's bullshit. It dosen't mean things wouldn't be much worse, or that Randy might be racist or what have you, but it wouldn't be the same as it was in the 60s. For all the fuckery we have now, I have to belivie humanity's better than that.
So Martin realizes he has to go back and die and become time jesus. Miles begs him not to.. but Martin returns and so does all of time. The actors play it very well and the moment is done shockingly well. As for why he can't just go back in time and save MLK... it's because the creators realized having Whoopi Goldberg explain MLK Has to die because time reasons goes against the message just the time. She also has ripple effect proof memory so she lived through all the horrors of the biff tanen timeline are left glued to her memory.
Tumblr media
Miles is left sad though, if happy his friends are back to normal, but takes a good message: that we still do what we can and the work continues. Granted the work in this case.. is painting a mural of mlk while a bunch of acid washed clips of king are filtered in and a very 90s cover of ain't no mountain high enough plays
Tumblr media
There are not enough drugs in the world to explain this ending, and i'm not on enough of those drugs to explain this ending. So with that inspiring acid trip done, our heroes stare at their handiwork as the movie ends.
Our Friend Martin means well. It does teach a lot about Dr King and to it's credit got me intrested in the man's life on a deeper level. Part of it is wanting the full story without the editing down for children, but i'm still intrested in something I shoudl've studied long ago and that counts.
This special's still trapped in the confines of it's time, being incredibly 90s and thus not having the budget something like this really deserved or the time it needed. This specail REALLY needed to be a full movie to get the full impact of things and truly use it's cast, but they barely had the budget for 40 minutes, and would've been better served shaving it slightly. We didn't need the biff tanen timeline or the montage at the end.
Our Friend Martin is a decent special, easy for me to poke fun at, fun too, but I can't deny that unlike a lot of other edutainment specials it does the best it can for it's time to be honest about it's message and about the horrific times MLK lived in and a good reminder of what the "good old days" many a jackass wants to go back to meant for the bulk of Americans. I can mock Martin Luther King being made into time jesus all I want, but I still give credit where it's due. This specail may be choppy, on the nose and with one timeline too many.. but it's heart was in the right place. Thanks for reading

Okay maybe despite John’s sacrifices reader has become violent because of the grief. Caine said he would watch over her. Caine probably realize she got back into the business. It doesn’t have to be a physical fight but maybe some sort of verbal thing reader just reader yelling how much she misses John and how Caine killed him or something. What would Caine do? Would reader allow Caine to comfort her? Make that shit angstyyyy
Francis Forever
♤ Summary: It's easier to stick to what you've learned instead of moving on. The series
♤ Warnings: John Wick violence, swears, alcohol, reader avoiding therapy and choosing murder (like father like daughter).
♤ a/n: It has been so long and I'm so very sorry!!! On a brighter note, the lovely Mallorie has made a playlist for our favourite duo! (It had me sobbing, the title and slogan made my heart melt). Check it out, cry over it and lets all thank Mal for the inspo! Love you Mal! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2PNWum0VLYV9k8VYJu5ZRc?si=7uTnEbr0R3CV1TxWXr1Svg
Without further ado... enjoy some angst!
⋯♤⋯♧⋯♢⋯
The first time you broke the sacrifice John made for you was the first time he was mentioned. You had become a shell of the little girl you both used to know, an angry violent woman who couldn’t help but to blame everyone.
You avoided Winston as his new hotel was being built, the hotel that was only being built thanks to John’s death. Dog became your sole companion, joining you the few times you dared to venture out. John had left you all that was his, you had scoffed to avoid crying - he really did plan on dying since the very start.
You didn’t work, you didn’t know what to do with yourself. How cruel you thought it was, for John to teach you the only thing you were good at just to rip it all away from you in the name of protecting you.
You drank. A lot. Not too much to raise enough concern for Winston to come drag you back to wherever he was, but enough for one to consider it a minor hobby. Your chosen bar was one frequented by those of the underworld.
It was comforting in a way, a reminder of home. You were nursing your first drink of the night, drowning in self-pity when you overheard a conversation from two Russian men sitting beside you.
“Baba Yaga is gone, the Ruska Roma is a threat no more.” The burlier one smirked, chugging down the rest of his beer.
“Don’t be a fool. They did not rely on him and what of the child? Just because the Table forgets her does not mean she isn’t a threat.” 
“The Likho? He failed and she will meet his end.”
You finished off the rest of your drink with a sigh, standing and smashing your glass off the side of the counter. The attention of the entire bar was brought to you, the shocked silence only being broken to react.
You threw the sharpened glass straight into the neck of the larger man. His hands flew to his neck, holding tightly as he gurgled on his own blood. The second guy looked to his friend before pouncing after you.
Expecting it, you ducked under his grip, turning to slam his head against the bar’s counter top. You didn’t want him dead, too many bodies trailing after all that happened would be too suspicious. Knocking him out will have to do.
You shoved him back against the bar, his neck at a weird angle as you held his head in a lock. Once he was unconscious you released his body to the floor, throwing a hundred dollar bill for the damages.
“What are you doing?” The bar owner called after you in indignation.
“Trying to meet his end.” You didn’t even bother to wipe the blood off of your hands, it no longer phased you. You’d have to get your knife back from John’s grave.
-
Since then the trail grew, nearly reaching double digits. Technically you weren’t doing any kind of job, purely from your own will. If you kept going at the rate you were, the Table would force you back in, erasing everything John did.
You almost couldn’t bring yourself to care.
Caine had settled down with his daughter, their reunion going better than he could’ve ever anticipated. He explained the few things he could to her, why he had to leave her and how he managed to come back.
It was a late afternoon when he first heard the rumors of the Likho being active for the first time since the death of the Baba Yaga. He knew what that meant and knew it was time for him to keep his word.
“I know I said I wouldn’t leave again-” He was cut off by his daughter kissing his cheek. A soft and understanding smile painted her face as she hugged him tightly. “I have my father, she doesn’t. She needs you, go.”
He was quick to travel to New York, ready to do anything to keep you safe. He found your place thanks to Winston, who was beyond worried. He had tried to reach out to you but was met with hostility.
“Who are you to say anything? You used his death to get a fucking hotel!” He left with you looking ready to stab him and Dog growling nearby.
He sat on your armchair, white cane leaning on the back. He heard you unlock your door and remove Dog’s leash. Dog was quick to sniff him out, standing defensively as she barked at him. You tensed, jaw clenching at the sight of him.
“Caine. Thought you’d be off with your daughter,” the last word sounded choked, like it was a struggle for you to even pronounce. 
“I have some other obligations to attend to, she is aware.” He wouldn’t speak on his promise to John, something he was sure would turn you against him. Your current state reminded him of a lost puppy.
One that had been harmed too many times to function properly, to truly hold any trust in anyone. “I don’t see how that brings you to my place.”
You zero in on his hand, catching a glint from his palm, “give it back.” He opened his hand showing the gold coin. The gold coin that held all your worth, that John took you for, that you had to hunt The Doctor down to retrieve.
“So you can use it to get back in?” He scoffed, “after all that John gave up for you.” You flexed your hand before reaching to grab it back but he expertly dodged you.
“For me? He died for you,” you tried to hide your tears behind anger, choosing to act violently by shoving Caine out of your chair. He recovered easily, sliding away from you with the coin still in hand. 
“You were his daughter, he’d do anything to protect you.” How dare he come here to lecture you about your choices, defending the man who made decisions that led you here. You faked lunging for him, swiftly kicking out his leg from underneath him.
He grabbed onto you, using the momentum to send you falling instead. “How could he have seen me as a daughter? He was willing to leave me behind so you could be with yours!” You desperately clawed at his hand as you began to cry.
You were conflicted, emotions contradicting and betraying you. You wanted to defend him, justify everything he’s ever done but at the same time you hate him for what he did. You missed him and would do anything to have him back.
Caine was confused as he listened to your sobs over the coin. He loosened his grip, letting it fall from his and into your hands. You held it to your chest tightly, curling in on yourself like the desperate child you still were.
“It’s mine. He only took me because of this.” Caine kneeled down to the ground next to you. He laid a hand on your shoulder, slowly pulling you into a side hug when you didn’t flinch away.
“No, the coin only brought you to him. I’d die in an instant to keep her safe. John was wrong in the way only a father could be, he was wrong for you.”
Those words stuck with you. Each time you felt yourself slipping you remind yourself of his faults and how he willingly did them for you. John Wick was never perfect and you couldn’t hold him to that standard.
He was a loving father who did all that he could to love and care for his daughter. Baba Yaga and Likho were a mask, an illusion for two lost people who managed to discover each other in a twisted painful time.
You loved him and freed him in a way he never thought would be possible for him to have. He wanted to return that for you. It was time to let go of that part others created and instead treasure the him that was solely for you. Your John Wick.

Alfred Molinathon Day 6
When Pigs Fly (1993)
Marty
Tumblr media
His Role: I hope I never let myself live like this man does, I know I can be quite messy, but I make damn sure I clean enough to be comfortable! This man? Goodness. Sleeps in own clothes and shoes (all dressed up an no where to go), glasses and trash everywhere, eating cold pizza! Actually, I do that last one. That's not that weird. But man, I wouldn't want him to be my landlord, just saying. I've been around way too many people with living spaces like that, not nice people either. Unlike Marty, who seems pleasant enough. I don't know for sure if he's depressed or something along those lines, I hope after the events of this movie, he starts cleaning up a bit. Baby steps. Maybe Sheila helps out.
This man can just sleep anywhere and anytime! It's like he has narcolepsy, but it may be depression? But it was funny to see him pass out during a piano lesson and then again after Sheila finds out about the ghosts. I'm glad he feels more awake, having a gun shot at you while levitating on a rocking chait and going on a short road trip would keep you more awake to the world.
I would've like to see more of his love for Jazz and maybe see him teach more! I liked his dynamic with Tony, their little handshake was adorable. And of course, more of him and Dolphy, his big good boy!
His reaction to the ghosts was a more realistic one, I believe. He quickly accepted that this was his new reality and helped out his new dead friends. Him being terrified of a literary child was hilarious.
Also the bar scene? Him just losing his shit and laughing like a mad man at the chaos around him? Just great.
Last thing: his dreams were weird, but realistically so. Dreams are weird, man.
~~~
The Rest of the Movie: A fever dream of a movie in a good way. I mean, it literally opens with two strange dream sequences (a trend in this movie). I thought Dolphy, the dog, would have more to do, but eh, it's ok.
Lilly and Ruthie were fun, I liked their relationship! Lilly, a mother, was torn away from her daughter due to her murder by the hands of her own shitty husband and Ruthie, a child torn away from her mother due to illness. I hoped we saw more of Ruthie's background, but this is mainly Lilly's story. But I must say Rachael Bella, the actress for Ruthie, did a fantastic job, especially during the scene when she describes seeing Lilly's murder.
Randomly just bursting into singing and cussing out Marty for not joining right away and then him awkwardly starting a duet with Lilly was funny.
I'm really glad that Lilly got to semi-reunite with her daughter, I don't know if she plans on revealing herself and Ruthie to her or not. But she seems content with just rocking on their chair while watching her boat. They have a much better view now than the shed.
~~~
Sheila and Marty's chemistry wasn't as well built as, say Cliff and Kim (The Steal). Maybe it wasn't supposed to go in that direction, but that one dream? Wanting to be her lover? I don't know for sure. I still like their interactions and reactions to the ghosts. Both just going along and help the lost spirits, who are just doing whatever the hell they want, being silly and goofy together.
~~~
And to Frank, fuck you! His way of accidentally revealing to the cops that he murdered his wife was pleasing. Rot in hell!
~~~
Also, I want to add a warning. There are two slurs thrown in this movie. The N-word (not at anyone specific) and a ethnic slur for people who are Italian, Portuguese, or Spainard. Interestingly the last one being thrown at Marty. Just a heads up!

EP 4 PREMIERE LETS GOO (SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT)
Uzi's wing backpack is really cute! hope it's not foreshadowing anything :)
YES KHAN BE EMOTIONALLY VULNERABLE AND TRUST YOUR DAUGHTER WITH HER OWN FUTURE! I KNOW I KEPT SHIT TALKING YOU BUT I ALWAYS BELIEVED THAT ONE DAY YOU WOULDN'T ROYALLY SCREW UP EVERYTHING
also was Nori the one initially obsessed with doors? and doll's dad. he was in the photo too, but then again, so was khan. Was he infected or not? if he has an id card, i didn't see it
does. does no one know who uzi is?? she literally exploded a gun in the middle of class that isn't something you'd easily forget. i mean i guess no one would really "know" her considering her complete and utter lack of friends up until now
N AND V AS CAMP COUNSELORS HAHAHAHA OH THIS IS GOING TO GO GREAT I CAN ALREADY TELL
all the other drones immediately fawning over N and V lmao.
ooh uzi's got a much better grasp of her powers now. someone's been practicing
LMAO THEY EXPLICITLY SAID "THERE WERE NO DOGS ON COPPER 9 WHEN EVERYTHING WENT TO SHIT ALSO DOGS ARE IMMORTAL NOW"
oh N and V playing nice with the workers is really cute (also lizzy gets to sit with V!)
(also was i not paying attention or did thad just straight up disappear halfway through the episode)
V's being weird and cryptic again... also girl you know you're bluffing stop pretending you can just get rid of Uzi without consequences.
is uzi... resentful? is she upset that two literal murderers are able to make friends easier than her? poor girl.
oh hey doll. we thought you were dead (and you might still be idk what your fucking deal is anymore)
the killing/not killing the bug symbolism carries over to this episode too.
this bug can communicate! and we know for sure that it's connected to the solvers now!
it called her 002. it thinks she's nori. Were the inital test subjects registered, but not their children? would doll scan as yeva's number? (can't remember it off the top of my head)
oh she just turned that arrow into flesh. oh dear god it's alive. i never thought i say this, but i'm with uzi's classmates on this one what the fuck was that
"i live in the woods now!" ah yes that'll solve everything great job
oh uzi :( so this is why doll had such a large supply of oil on hand. good thing she had the stomach to drink it
(ok yeah thad's not with the group anymore where did he fuck off to)
YES N STAND UP TO V. DEMAND ANSWERS.
"she's a kid, like us V!" ... ok how old are they actually i want to know. "like us" implies similar age range at least and they kind of hinted at Uzi being 18-20 with the prom posters but i wish they'd just TELL us in canon or word of god it on twitter or something
LIZZY-
I thought rebecca's bf was Brad? did they break up? quick rebound time damn
oh doesn't matter they're gonna fucking die
JCjenson made a tape about "zombie drones". what did they know.
Flashback images: Tessa (looking VERY drone like), a severed hand hanging from a chandelier, and an explosion (that looks VERY solver-esque.)
oh shit's going downhill very quickly.
OH DEAR GOD. REBECCA. sorry Rebecca enjoyers that's an L for you guys.
OH. OH NO UZI. SHE'S GOT MURDER DRONE POWERS AND SOLVER POWERS YOU GUYS ARE FUCKED.
"Killing her, not saving you." it can be both V it's ok
did. did V just call her CYN? DID V JUST CALL HER CYN????
V GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE AND EXPLAIN YOURSELF
oh her tail's got teeth. no nanites though...
ngl N's pretty much the best person who could've possibly shown up at that moment
her wing joints are human arm skeletons. nope. don't like that.
ohh N is just the sweetest. very emotionally aware too
V what are you smiling at. V is there something you want to tell us
i know we were all joking about V x Lizzy but i'm not sure it's a joke anymore
i'm not going to ask how riding the bus like a stagecoach works
V taking blame for the murders? aww you do care <3
is n scared of his connection to uzi? worried that he might be dangerous to her? or is he secretly scared of her but not willing to leave his first real friend?
( i know i've mentioned this three times now but thad's not on the bus. where did he go. did he just decide fuck this i'm not dying here and walk home?)

//fills out this questionnaire for @sonic-oc-showdown
featuring Lily being a GREMLIN
Tumblr media
Name: Lilium "Lily" Gale (born as Lilium Ludmore Tenebris) Species: Wolf (Albino) Type: I usually assign her Flight. Alignment: Chaotic Neutral (on a good day) Home: Some midwestern corn town that likely has an eldritch entity hiding in the corn. You know the sort.
rest under the cut
✨ How did you come up with the OC's name?
I originally named her "Moonlight" (bcs she was very moonthemed), and eventually gave her the nickname "Lilly". During a multitude of character revisions (all within like 2 years of making her), I dropped her original full name, as well as one the L's. Her current full name, "Lilium", comes from the Elfen Lied OP |D
🌼 How old are they? (Or approximate age range)
She's 20/21 ish~ Her birthday is on June 29th, but I keep her age pretty static rn.
🌺 Do they have any love interest(s)?
SHE IS HARCORE SHIPPED WITH @darthsammi's NICKI CASSIDY! THEY ARE DISASTER LESBIANS WHO FUCK SHIT UP TOGETHER AND I LOVE THEM!!
Tumblr media
(art by @xmooncanary)
🍕 What is their favorite food?
Hot Dogs! Which is actually based on me lmao,
💼 What do they do for a living?
She doesn't currently have a job, but she aspires to be a published author!
🎹 Do they have any hobbies?
Beyond writing, she's also just a general consumer of pop culture (books, movies/shows, games), researches ancient forbidden texts, and is super into freestyle parkour~ She also collects bugs, and octopus/squid/jellyfish plushies
🎯 What do they do best?
BEING AN IDIOT (She's also very intelligent and analytical, but her absolute idiocy often outshines it)
🥊 What do they love to do? What do they hate to do?
I feel like i described her loves two questions ago, though she does really like vibin w/ Nicki. drabbling down some story ideas while Nicki plays some chords on her guitar. She quite dislikes having to do anything with her biological family though. Not for any reason to do with them, she just doesnt know them?? And she's annoyed by suddenly having to reconnect with them. It's to figure out why she suddenly has Shadow Powers:tm:
❤️ What is one of your OC's best memories?
Once when she was twelve, a friend mentioned that she taught there was a monster in the corn fields. Lily, 0 fear and Super Interested in monsters, went in to look for it. And she found it! And though she doesnt remember much of it afterwards, she holds it as her bestest memory.
���️ What is one of your OC's worst memories?
She has 0 control over her Shadow Powers and during a particularly dark night (new moon), she got stuck in an intangible shadow person form. Unable to be heard or seen by anyone else, it was the most isolated she had ever felt in her life. It is probably the one and only time she had a panic attack.
🧊 Is their current design the first one?
HAHAHAHAHAH n o. I change Lily's design like a girl changes clothes. I barely ever drew her the same to begin with, and overal she's gone through a few major redesigns, and plenty of smaller ones.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Little timeline! not every stage is represented, but it the major redesigns at least!
🍀 What originally inspired the OC?
Believe it or not; a dream. It was a weird ass dream not at all related to Sonic but it featured a sort of moon spirit and my brain was just "I like her" and tried bringing her to the waking world with limited success.
🌂 What genre do they belong in?
Adventure crossed with cosmic and gothic horror? I dont limit myself |D
�� What is your OC's gender identity and sexuality?
Demigirl, Bisexual

🍎 What is the OC's relationship w/ their parents like?
She has an absolutely Wonderful relationship with her foster mom Lauren, but is more estranged to her biological father, which doesnt become much better :)
Tumblr media
🧠 What do you like most about the OC?
everything. She's one of my oldest characters and is one of a few who comforts me when i feel down so. comfort character.
✏️ How often do you draw/write about the OC?
I do NOT draw her enough, and i really aught to change that, but I talk alot about her with aforementioned Darth Sammi!! I hope that counts |D?
💎 Do you ever see yourself killing off the OC?

This is so embarrassing as I am drunk , but I love your writing. I have seen your "write me a novel" so I am going too.
I know you live in New York, you have a full time job and you write the most amazing stories. I have barely touched on your Marvel writings so I am mostly going to be talking about your DC fics. I know you are writing a fanfic off of a book, which I am currently reading so I can understand, but I am here for DC.
I have been following your account for over two years now and I am here because your DC stories got me through so much. I broke my ankle in a couple years ago and I was bed for over a month after surgery. I read "All Men Have Limits" maybe 60 times. I love how you portray emotions and loving two very different men. I love that Dick is the one Y/N ends up with and that ending was chefs kiss.
When I am in need of comfort, I read "Stomping Grounds" or "Trauma" to get my fix. Those two fic just portray such emotion. I am a slut for Jason Todd so him finding love and giving/receiving love I am here for it. Y/N is meeting his family in a way and I have never thought of it like that.
When you did Wonder Women and Bruce Wayne, my heart burst. The way you portrayed Y/N, I felt that. I am from a divided family so I felt the feelings you wrote about. It hit so many points. The car ride there, not knowing this other person - ugh. My heart still beats for those fics.
Toxicology, is amazing. The suspense, the love, the twist and turns. The love Damien has for a women who is so in touch with herself. Being the daughter of Poison Ivy and needing the sun and earth, is my dream. I want to be that person. So confident.
I have barely touch on any other your writings due to just going to what I know and what I love. I read your Capt. Syverson who I know nothing about but fuck your story with his dog Aika, holy shit that is magic.
The conclusion, I love your writing. I know you have said this is a hobby for you but fuck you are good at it. When I need anything ,I know I can turn to your writing. Thank you for sharing your stories. I lean on them. I hope this portrays the love I have for you and your writing. I dont think you will ever know how much I love your stories. Laying in bed for over 45 days def does something for you. I am happy I found your writing as an outlet.
I just want you to know, you left a huge impression on a strangers life. I seek your fanfics for comfort and happiness. thank you for your writings and sharing them. I am sorry I am late to the game of sharing your fic while they were happening.
I am not exaggerating when I say this is one of the kindest messages I've ever received. Thank you so much for taking the time to write me. But also thank you for saying such kind things. I really do forget that my writing can impact people. Most of the time, I click "post now" and I feel like I've launched my writing into a black hole. Yeah, 1sometimes 0ish people will comment. But then it just starts to feel like your friends who comment on every one of your IG posts. 😂
So, it really blew my mind that my writing means so much to you. 🥹And I'm so sorry to hear about your ankle. I hope it's OK now and you're doing better!
p.s. I wish more people wrote me drunk messages 😂

.
Johnny's started cheering on his students.
The van he stands on in the junkyard has a painted eagle on it.
The kids are wearing protective gear so he's not completely unaware of protection (also Miguel wore protective gear against the baseball thing in a previous episode)
Eli's the one who gets bit by a dog because everyone else picks small cars to jump onto and Eli picks like a truck he can't get over.
Lucille!!!!!!!
Daniel truly goes from JOHNNY to he's a monster and shouldn't be allowed around kids and for...what? So far Johnny just painted a dick on his billboard. Like right? That's the score right? Johnny warned Daniel about Kyler (and was correct). I don't fully get out Daniel got to Johnny is a monster at this point, though maybe he's upset because he doesn't know the details about Kyler? So he thinks Johnny just beat up some teenagers and is teaching the kids to be like him. But also Johnny isn't Kreese or Silver?
Like yes the billboard after the fixing the car for free sucks. But also Daniel already got his revenge on that by doubling rent for everyone at the strip mall. So theoretically...even? And the students have nothing to do with it.
Also shouldn't Daniel be happy she's not hanging out with the previous crowd? Or has he not noticed that she's home more and not hanging out with her friends or Aisha. I guess she never told them and Amanda didn't pass along the fact her newer popular friends ditched her to go to the concert without her.
Rocky III was where they went in '82 because Dutch loved Mr. T. Dutch threw milk duds. Ali dumped popcorn on Dutch got butter all over him.
Johnny had to hit on her a few times before he got a date to Golf 'n stuff and they kissed on the ferris wheel.
I think it would've been more affective to explain that Sam was in the car that t-boned Johnny's firebird and drove off. Rather than make Johnny's problems Miguel's problems.
If Daniel and Amanda who have a big house host Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas...does everyone from Newark fly out?
Rosa made seco de carne
Johnny was going to just eat hot pockets.
Carmen: I don't want my son to get hurt. Miguel: That's what the referees are there for. Somewhere the referee from TKK3 got a chill.
Sam trying to get Miguel to change dojo's...she's gotta realize how weird that sounds right?
Sam also lying about Miguel didn't help anything. It reinforced what Johnny said but also hurt Miguel's feelings and for what? Daniel's seen Miguel what twice? Will he even realize Miguel is one of Johnny's students? Does Sam even know that Daniel would recognize Miguel? I don't think she would. It's not like he's wearing cobra kai gear. Also isn't Daniel already in the dog house for being awful (but right) about one of her boyfriends? So shouldn't Miguel automatically get a better shot then Kyler did?
I love that the Diaz's sent Johnny home with leftovers.
Johnny tries cleaning up his life take 1
Mr. Miyagi's chimes!
Robby needs a new board.
Does Shannon know that Robby got a job? Or that he's taking karate lessons? Does she know that Daniel is driving her under age lying about his age son outside of the county? Because there's no way they're still in the county. Does this count as kidnapping because he's 16?
Johnny's first flat screen TV and TV #2 for his apartment.
Knowing that Johnny orders what he hears other people order to try and impress people...
Tumblr media
How much of what he has in his fridge are things he bought for himself because he likes it or is it because he saw someone he thought had a healthy life style and bought what they bought?
Like does he like hummus and bell peppers, grapes and salad???
Johnny watching Iron Eagle, again. Johnny's Mr. Miyagi is truly Chappy and Carmen and a smidge of Shannon.
Tumblr media
Do you think this is Mr. Miyagi's from when he was training Daniel?
The shots of Daniel and Robby doing karate are very very TKK
Robby mentioned Jackie Chan, so how is that going to work for in-universe future things?
Robby being a skateboarder I think gives him an edge. I also for some reason always thought his dad had trained him a little, but clearly not if he couldn't properly make a fist.
We also point out frequently that all the stuff Johnny as the kids do is dangerous, but that tree Robby is practicing on and falling off of is also uber dangerous.
Daniel wandering off to watch a hockey game lol.
Hawk, Aisha, and Miguel at a horror movie and Hawk pulling a dutch, throwing popcorn at people.
Aisha being best friends with Sam since third grade is kind of sad that they're no longer friends. Also I know he's not going to listen to Aisha and meet and talk to Daniel but I wish he would.
Daniel was totally itching to try and pull off a move to impress Robby the way Mr. Miyagi always used to.
Tumblr media
I always forget Daniel falls and lands hard on that rock.
Apparently he almost got it in his 20's, the one handed two legged kick.
Tumblr media
Sid's mansion
Sid has a nurse but seems used to having a staff. I wonder why he only has a nurse.
I am proud of Johnny paying Sid back. But that was supposed to be money to buy him out of Sid's life...
Lucille's famous Chicken cacciatore
Robby needs all the home cooked meals he can get. He's probably stunned by a big family meal.
Oh I forgot that Miguel does try and introduce himself to Daniel.
Tumblr media
I would totally think they're siblings or heck cousins. Miguel doesn't know who Robby is. So Miguel just walking away never makes sense to me.
According to Johnny's letter to Robby he is trying to call him. Lol Johnny's like I'm not going to text or email so here's a handwritten letter, which is kind of sweet.
Dang it Louie.
Louie being like this is from Daniel Larusso only to immediately take it all back when Johnny kick's all their asses and asks for Daniel's address. Like Louie, come on. Terrible idea.
Daniel lives on Escalon drive.
The fact that they always have this back and forth even when it's not them of one upping the stakes. Like seriously? Soap opera since 1984

My paternal grandma. The best person ever.

Doesn't it seem like everyone's iPods are ALWAYS getting stolen/breaking?
I don't know and I don't care.

I don't know anymore. I know my husband, my ex Nielsje and my sister are always on my side, as well as Christoph, Kenny and Gilbert, they have never let me down.
Are you close with you best friends' parents? Do you know them very well?
I don't know them at all. All my friends have families on their own.

Pinky ring, yes. Toe ring, no. I don't see the point of them.
Do you file your nails? Clip them, whatever..?
Clip, but also bite.
What is the youngest age you would consider dating somebody?
Probably 26. I like some guys as young as 20, but hey. I'm 34, it's a bit of an age difference already.
Are you a cat or a dog-person?
Cat person all the way. I love cats so much. I don't mind dogs, but they just don't vibe with me.

I like rabbits, too. I used to have a Flemish giant girl as a pet, she was huge, but very sweet and gentle.
Describe the last time you truly, heartbrokenly distraught.

ꕥ — WELCOME TO CATA COSMIA, AFTON KAZAMA. 🌕
Tumblr media
ꕥ  — OOC INFORMATION;
name / alias: mocha
age: 29
pronouns: they/them
ooc contact: @ givemeurbread on twt!
triggers: N/A
other characters in xc: primula aoki & afton aoki - original characters, Twilight Sparkle - My Little Pony: Equestria Girls
ꕥ  — IC INFORMATION;
name: afton kazama 
age: 33
pronouns: he/him
series: original
canon point: n/a
app triggers: parental death mention, child abuse, psychological abuse, alcohol mention, general violence, human experimentation, firearms, scars/burn scars, needles,
personality: Years ago, Afton would be described as stubborn, reckless, aggressive, violent, and bloodthirsty. And while all of those can still hold true, he has calmed in his age. At first glance, Afton seems intimidating - a strong, straight posture, a hardened gaze, no nonsense. Yes, there are times where he’s a little rough, a little tactless, and maybe even downright rude - but, underneath that, is simply a man who wants to do right by his family. Though he may complain, he is terribly selfless, especially to children, and often goes out of his way to help the moment he sees someone in need. His no-nonsense ways simply comes from being ‘too old to deal with this crap,’ choosing to simply go straight for a solution. Can he be impatient? Stubborn? Reckless? Yes - old dog, and all of that. Does his venomous sass outweigh his younger cousins? Most definitely. But Afton, at the end of it all, is a man trying to leave the world better than he left it. 
something your muse struggles with: dealing with his trauma - his anger and aggression is from years of taking everything done to him, and putting it in front of him as a wall to make things easier, or to not think about it. afton really struggles with being open and vulnerable to almost anyone - even renji doesn’t always get to see the vulnerable sides of afton. 
your muse’s greatest strength: afton has such a strong sense of justice, even if it’s a little black and white at times. do what you have to to get the job done, and always do what you gotta do to protect the little guy. he’s also incredibly loyal to those that have his heart - once afton trusts you, he wouldn’t hesitate to hurt or be hurt for you. 
history / background:
“Wanna know my story? Interesting. Most people are lookin’ to hire me, or lookin’ to kill me. Thank Christ you’re neither. Two things I needa know, though.
One, do ya drink? I need a drink. And, two, gotta light?
Ah, figures. Anyway, ain’t much to tell. Was born in the heart of Kyoto, father was a proud scientist, mom stayed at home when I was a kid… Never found out why. She ended up leaving him when I was 16, anyway. I don’t blame her.
Dad taught me to fight when I was old enough. Came from a disciplined family, but I still thought a scientist knowing martial arts was weird. Held my first gun at six, and of course, I was shit with it. Dad said I took to it well though. 
School was decent enough. Made a few friends, a few enemies. Never got along with everyone: who does? At any rate, when I was old enough, Dad asked me if I wanted to get into the family business. I said I didn’t know, but I guess he had the answer for me, anyway - started training to be a bounty hunter. I was young, and the only other hunter in the family was my aunt, his sister, since his parents got outa the biz a while ago. It was strange, but he said it was what was best, that I needed to be ready for anything. He said it was an honorable path, so y'know what? Damn right I signed up. I wanted to make him proud.
He began training me with a blade when I was eight. Now, like I said, I was shit with the gun when I first started, and it was a pain to become the crackshot I am now. But I’ll never forget the look on pop’s face when I began blade training. Said it was like a fish in water. He was proud of me that day. To be honest, it was weird to hear it.
I grew up, I did my training, took my classes, and earned my fair share of scars. And I never once allowed my family history to dictate my grades, or my success in school. Every grade, every achievement, and every damn accommodation I got was because I busted my ass. It’s all I knew how to do, really, since I was a kid: work hard, and you get what you give.
… But somethin’ wasn’t right. I was gettin’ older, I was questioning why mom was still with my dad, their arguments. What my dad was workin’ on, why he was gettin’ so damn hard on me. But I got nothin’. And ya know what? Somethin’ about his attitude began to send chills down my spine. It didn’t seem right.
Just as I was preparin’ to take off, my younger cousin, Renji��� His father had been killed years prior, but of all the bad luck, they got his mom, too, my aunt Jun. Sucks, man. He was a good kid. A good fighter. Shit with a blade for a while, but a damn crackshot. He stayed with us a while, but my dad, he… Started him on a training regiment too. Said we needed to be ready for anything.
I couldn’t leave him. Not Renji, not with my dad. I busted my ass during the day to help him, and even took the occasional bounty to save up money to get the hell outa there.
… Shoulda been nosier when I got the chance.
Ren had really hurt himself - dad didn’t give a shit. Never did, once we were older. I was rummaging through my dad’s shit for a new first aid kit, and I… Shit, man, I shoulda known.
I couldn’t understand the papers - there were a lot of words I couldn’t understand, Ren’s the smarter one, he would’ve. But all I could make out, was that my dad was contactin’ some woman, arranging the deaths of Ren’s parents. Somethin’ about needing custody because Ren’s “DNA sequence was the most compatible.”
I couldn’t look Ren in the face. I couldn’t even say anything to him. God dammit, I wish I woulda said somethin’.
My dad, the sick bastard… Told us he had one test left for us, one final struggle. Next thing I knew, I had a bag over my head, and Ren was screamin’, shouting that it hurt, that his blood was on fire. I fought, and struggled, and panicked before I was able to get loose of the bindings.
There was some… Syringe, near Ren, not like one I’ve ever seen. It was empty, but left the nastiest mark on Ren. He was writhing, crackles of electricity sparking around his body. As I knocked the last mook that held him down, I felt the worst pain ever in the back of my neck.
I was next - my own skin felt like it was on fire, and the lights became blinding. Black… mist trailed from my skin, and I felt like I felt every particle of it.
That was the second time my father told me he was proud. Proud that I actually survived. Well… I survived. Made damn sure he barely did.
Last I saw of dear old dad, he was a bloodied mess on the floor, until I carried my cousin out.
We wiped our records, traveled the country and got as far away from him as possible. I never wanna see that damn guy again. I didn’t want Ren to. I needed to protect him.
Can’t begin to tell you how much shit Ren n’ I have been through since then. He, uh… Found out. Renji found out that I knew, and, uh… It was bad, man. He looked about ready to kill me, but instead, he just… Went out to kill the old man, instead. I told him not to go. But he pretty much told me to piss off an’ let him do his thing.
So i did, but…  God. I was scared. I thought I lost him. I mean - who even survives that? I just… Thought he was dead, and then he just turns up, like nothin’ happened? But you can tell. You can look in a man’s eyes and tell when he’s seen things. When he’s changed.
Next couple of years went by well. Renji opened up to Vera and I more. We got into contact with Naoko and Fahy again - they had actually been lookin’ for us. They handle our jobs, now. Much more reliable than the two of us.
Even when Renji caught wind of the woman my pop hired to kill his parents, you could tell he was determined. When he came back half-dead, I knew he’d want another shot. And i was ready to tie him down to the damn bed, but the weirdest shit happened. Vera just told me to let him go.
… Renji and I have been with each other for as long as I can remember. We’ve had each other’s backs through hell and back, and I wouldn’t have anyone else watchin’ my back over that lightnin’ rod. And… I never realized that sometimes, I had him on a tight leash. I mean, alls I’ve ever wanted was to protect him. No one else would. But… She was right.
So, he left, after gettin’ his ass kicked by her - by Yukimura, the cold killer. And it was months until I ran into him again - wearin’ that damn mask again, still goin’ by the Reaper. Feh. He always was a fan of the dramatic. Anyway - Nao sent me, Vera and Fahy on a job to take out the last remnants of the whitecoats that were responsible for our gifts. But, damn, we weren’t prepared for her.
Primula Aoki. Renji’s little sister. My sick father decided to take she… well. They used her. She had… all of it, man. My shadow manipulation, Ren’s bioelectric conductivity, Fahy’s freaky omnivision. And she had some ruttin' magic. Could probably put an icicle through my damn head. But, Renji got through to her. An’ now our little circle of misfits and freaks keeps growin’. She’s a good kid. Sweet. Damn talented in music.
We began to realize that… yeah, we do a lot of bad stuff to bad people, for good people, but. Vee and I thought, ‘we can do more. We can do better.’
So we did. We made Vermilion. We still take bounties, do private security and body guard work. But we also help people with fixing, building, maintaining - anyone anyone needs, we help with. 
That’s all, I’m done talkin’ to you. So, either get me that drink, or you can skedaddle. Odds are, one or two people in here are lookin’ to kill me. Best for you to not get caught in the crossfire.“
powers / abilities: 
Shadow manipulation - Afton can create, shape and manipulate darkness and shadows. By itself, darkness is mostly used to cloud everything into total darkness, but by accessing a dimension of dark energy it can be channeled to a variety of effects, both as an absence of light and a solid substance. Abilities include:
Shadow walking: Afton is able to traverse through shadows and dark areas in a 100 yard radius.
Umbral dome: Afton can create a dome of dark energy that completely sucks out any natural or artificial light - it’s a double edged sword, as his own allies cannot see, as well. Only Afton is able to traverse the darkness.
Tangible wisps: Afton can create tangible wisps of shadows that can be used for blunt or bladed objects.
Enhanced vision at night: While it isn’t complete night vision, Afton does have a bit of a natural edge when traversing in the dark. Think of it as the brightness was dialed up one or two times - not total night vision. 
inherent abilities:
Incredible swordsman - he is savage, ruthless, and efficient with any bladed weapon. 
trained in several forms of martial arts, mixed or otherwise, including styles such as judo, daito ryu jiu jitsu, taekwando, and krav maga.
 enhanced biological functions: the serum injected in afton severely altered his natural genetic makeup. his body functions are not superhuman, but much stronger than your average person, such as but not limited to:
muscle strength and density: afton’s muscles begin to repair quicker than a normal person, and the process to repair and fuse muscle fibers together are significantly thicker and stronger. he’s certainly no hercules but his strength isn’t anything to pass off as standard.
healing wounds: while afton still bleeds and heals like anyone else, his body reacts quicker and more intensely to identifying, and closing wounds. hemostasis to close the wound begins quicker, the blood cells travel quicker to create collagen and the other tissues needed to form scar tissue, and the strengthening of the tissue also happens quicker. while he doesn’t heal instantly (still far from it) a minor cut that would normally take a day or two to heal only takes hours; a broken bone that would take 3 months to heal might only take one and a half, a laceration would only take a week or two instead of several. again, he is not invincible, not even close, but his body’s cellular makeup works fast. 
alcoholic consumption; the enzymes in afton’s liver begin breaking down the acetaldehyde into acetic acid much quicker, requiring afton’s body do, if desired, consume more alcohol in order to feel it’s effects. 
items / weapons:
Taurus Raging Bull - An absolute hand cannon, Afton carries around an 8-cylinder Taurus raging Bull that uses .454 casul rounds. Thankfully, the only reason he carries it around is because his confidence in his accuracy actually matches his real accuracy. 
Ninjato - A 24 inch short straight sword, crafted by an old family friend known for their masterful work in bladed weaponry. Afton takes care of this blade as if it were his child. 
Amaya - a show of his caring side, Afton took in a chocolate lab puppy he found diving through garbage. She’s about 4 years old, but is hardly pushing ~55lbs/25 due to being the runt. Suffice to say, she’s forever puppy size. 
starting ability: shadow manipulation
starting item: taurus raging bull
extra: 
Paternal instincts rolled a D20 if you’re a minor he WILL politely ask if you need a homecooked meal and a supervised walk home. His nickname is Aftdad for a reason.
Goodness gracious his voice is more gravelly than sandpaper being dragged down an asphalt driveway.
body is littered with scars, most prominent being the wound over his heart, the burn mark near his neck tattoo, and a scar down the other side of his neck. 
Lots of tattoos. heavily tattooed right arm, sleeved in east-asian street art from his hometown. gaelic symbol of strength on left side of his neck, under his ear. 
has a pendant necklace held by a dark leather cord - half moon sigils are carved into it, an obsidian stone embedded in the middle. it was given as a 30th birthday gift from his friend, magdalena-orion hayes - he rarely ever takes it off. It’s only value is sentimental.
He is my one(1) cishet muse and even then I’m unsure about the het. 
6’2 but his posture is as straight(?) as he is. Creates almost an intimidating aura with it. 
discord id: .kagejin.
passcode: i love the way the bg is written

Too Cute <3 — Alex [Adult World] x gn! reader
Tumblr media
summary: Just some workplace fluff with Alex <;3
tw: none
a/n: Prompts are highlighted and from here.
wc: 0.6k
Master List
Tumblr media
Another day, another shift. Something the world doesn’t talk about enough is what happens when you try, and fail. All my life, I wanted a good job with decent pay, I tried my hardest in highschool, and even graduated college! Yet all that hard work seemed to be down the drain. I made connections, I applied to jobs, and it was always “Thank you for applying, but you’re not what we’re looking for”. It was even like that for entry level jobs! And I had previous experience! It was infuriating. If I didn’t get money soon, I’d be out on the streets.
Which led me to my current prediction. I worked at a porn shop. Which wasn’t as terrible as it sounds. Yeah, some of the customers were weird, but at least your coworker and manager, Alex, was there to make you forget that you were technically even working. With good pay, and a good environment, I suppose I didn’t have much to complain about. Yeah, it was embarrassing to tell people where I worked, and I tried to avoid the topic, but like I said, the pay was good. I suppose only having to pay two workers meant you could treat them better.
I let out a sigh of boredom as I scrolled through my social media. My head darted up at the sound of a door opening, smiling softly as a familiar man with fluffy brown hair came out of the back room. Alex was carrying a box and set it on the ground with a huff. Must be new videos that came in. 
“Want any help?” I asked, not wanting to sit around while he does all the work. 
Alex pretended to think for a second before saying, “Youuuuuu could clean the bathroom before we close.”
I frowned, staring at him with pleading eyes, but his puppy dog eyes were more powerful and I spoke without thinking, “You’re lucky that you’re cute.”
I got up from my stool and put my phone in my pocket, but before I could make my way to the closet Alex replied, “Wait, you think I’m cute?” 
I felt myself freeze, not even realizing that I said that outloud. I bit my lip, trying to think of a way I could play this cool. Glancing back at him, I tried to give him the most natural smile I could muster.
“Yeah, who wouldn’t?” I asked with a shrug, continuing to the closet to grab the cleaning supplies. As I cleaned the bathroom, I was internally screaming at myself. Did I just make things weird? I mean yeah, we’re friends, but he’s also my manager. I took a deep breath and let it out, trying to calm myself down. I’ll just act like nothing happened, and maybe everything will be fine. Yeah, that’s totally what’s going to happen. 
It took me a bit to clean the bathroom. I tried to ignore the nausea that filled me at every unsanitary thing I had to clean. I forgot all about the little predicament that happened before. The need to leave that bathroom was the only thing filling my mind. I took in a deep breath as I exited the bathroom, Alex counting the register came into view. 
“I can’t believe you made me do that,” I groaned, acting like I didn’t do that every close shift. 
“You’ll live,” Alex laughed lightly, taking a glance at me before finishing the count. I tossed the bucket, gloves, and cleaning supplies back into the closet. 
“I suppose it isn’t that bad here,” I said, locking the front door. I turned back to face Alex as he put the deposit into an envelope. 
“It’s better with you here,” He replied nonchalantly, sending me one of his heart warming smiles. I felt myself warm at the sentiment and I smiled sheepishly back. “C’mon, let's get out of here.”
This may not be the life I envisioned, but you know what? It’s really not that bad.

Heyyy Had a smol request to make! I really loved the headpat hcs you wrote <33 if possible, could you please write some for Chuuya and Akutagawa too? Take your time! Stay hydrated, and take care of yourself <333

Warnings: None
Word Count: 0.9K
A/n: When you said that you wanted to send a request I didn't think you meant this lmao. I suffered till I got some ideas XD
I got a bit carried away with Chuu btw🤧
Part 1 with Dazai, Fyodor and Ranpo
Tumblr media
↬Ryuunosuke Akutagawa
◆I honestly think that having a platonic relationship with this guy is really fun! And maybe even better than romantic.(Don't ask me why cuz that's just another story)
◆He isn't used to have someone as a friend, so this is all new to him and hes still, you know, testing the water.
◆It will take him a lot of time to get used to, well, You; but he will eventually if youre trustworthy and capable enough.
◆He cares for you in his own particular way, and by that I mean that no one is capable to notice it. Not even you yourself; but he does care, and that's what that matters.
"Oh my god I'm Exhausted!" is what you say when you inter the room and throw yourself on the couch, taking a deep breath while relaxing your body. "Mori is planning on killing me by sending me to these death missions! I can feel it! " Turning your head to the silent man who was slowly taking a sip from his tea, you sulked and got upset because he was totally ignoring you. "As I was saying… the damn snipers were shooting at me from everywhere! I nearly got shot in the head if my men hadn't blocked them!" Even a tiny glance was enough for you, but Akutagawa was still silent, pretending you didn't exist at all, and this made you angry. "Oi! Goth boy!" "…" "Fig wasting machine!" "…" "Twenty year old man who doesn't know how to smile!" "…" Knowing him for quite a long time, you knew how to catch his attention, but it was a risk you were willing to take, which you weren't before because you weren't that close in the beginning. "Oi! Coward!" The second those words came out of your mouth, the man looked at you sending daggers through his eyes, while forming a blade out of his coat, ready to attack you. What he was not expecting was for you to smile and move closer to him. "What? Are you a coward?" "Do you have a death wish?" "Then why did you look at me when I called you that?" His blade slowly came down as he stared at you a bit more, then went back on drinking his tea. You rolled your eyes and then turned your head to the opposite direction, and started whining to yourself in a low voice. "Well what am I even expecting from you. You don't care if I even die or anything. I come to your office everyday trying to make conversation but all you do is just ignoring me. You don't even look at me! Like, do you hate me that much? But why? what did I d-" your words were immediately cut off by the sensation of his hand on your head, slowly patting you; And when you looked at him, he was looking back, and not in a threatening way. "Good job" Now it was your turn to be silent. Not because you wanted to get back at him; but because you were caught off guard and didn't know how to react. "Happy? Now shut up and let me have my tea in peaceful silence"
↬Chuuya Nakahara
◆Being in a platonic relationship with this guy is just so entertaining! Hes fun, interesting, brave, cool, etc.
◆But the thing is, hes been betrayed so many times that he just cant fully trust you. He wont show it at all though. He will chat with you, drink with you and stuff, but hes still afraid if youre gonna be like his old "friends" .He will eventually trust you if you two spend time together.
◆But it will take a lot of time, cause he did considered Dazai as his friend for 4 whole years; but then…
◆Anyway, hes literally the best if youre willing to put up with his short temper :)
"I hate everything in this shitty world!" "What now?" you grab the bottle of wine from his hand and drinking it till theres not even a drop left, then throw the bottle out of the window. Chuuya would have been be mad if you weren't this angry and tired, but luckily, you had enough that day. "I say hello and they give me work. I run into them in the hallway and they give me work. work, work, work. What am I? A stupid robot or something?" Chuuya looked at you carefully while opening the next bottle, trying to hide it so you wont snatch this one from him too. "Well, you get paid a lot in exchange, so its kind of fair" "Fair? Fair?" Dramatic as always, you sat next to him while covering your face with your hands, trying to fight the anger that was taking over you. "Making you work like a damn machine isn't fair! And were risking our lives by working in the mafia! I nearly died a while ago on the mission! And do you know what they did? Nothing! Nobody even bothered to sat "Thanks for working this hard" or "are you ok?" or "Well done" or- " "Well done. I'm proud of you" Frozen in the spot, you look at him with surprise and shock, while he gives you a small smile that melts your heart. "Awwwwwwwww Chuuuuuu! Waaaaaaaa!" Throwing yourself in his arms, you begin to cry as you wrapped your arms around him. "I love you so much! what am I supposed to do without you! Waaaaa(crying*)!" Chuuya slowly patted your back as he tried to act smooth and not to blush furiously. "Its ok y/n… its ok"
