So... Gulool Ja Ja and his troubled eldest
Some musings on why the Dawnservant, social skills-powerhouse, observant and transparent and trustworthy and capable and responsible Gulool Ja Ja
seems to have massively dropped the ball when it came to, you know...
preventing his own only biological child from turning towards murderous self-destructive supervillainy.
Gulool Ja Ja's biggest, most tragic failure in my understanding is that when it comes to Zoraal Ja specifically, he has a blind spot, and I think he knows it but he can't fix it.
I mean, what do you think is the ONE area that, unfortunately, he truly has nobody, not a single person in Eorzea, he can seek experienced, trustworthy counsel on?
It's being born a Blessed Sibling, living as a Blessed Sibling, Ruling as a Blessed Sibling, and raising a Son Of A Blessed Sibling who doesn't have two heads and will grow up facing extremely vicious treatment by some people as a consequence.
Zoraal Ja is unique, and the complications that come with being what he is in this cultural context are SMACK in the hazard zone of Gulool Ja Ja's own vulnerabilities and struggles.
Gulool Ja Ja's flying blind on this one, and his son's temperament is precisely the sort that his usual tools aren't a good fit for.
Papa's style is to give his children space, let them make their own decisions, to invite them to seek help and give them everything they could ask for in their environment to support them when he cannot.
Zoraal Ja's issue is one that would have required Gulool Ja Ja to be much more confident in his capacity as his parent than he seems to have been. He needed to see clearly that his son was struggling and that under his circumstances, he couldn't just ask for help, and ACT ON THAT OBSERVATION. Asking for support is not something that comes naturally to Zoraal Ja, and I can see a dozen reasons why he would actively avoid it, too.
'Kiddo, something's bothering you and for your own good, we need to talk or have you open up to someone else before this causes you great harm, and I will be accountable for this happening whether you're happy to cooperate or determined to run away from it. We're gonna figure this out, okay?'
That's the initiative it would have taken, at a much, much earlier point in time, for Zoraal Ja to have gotten the support he needed. He needed his parent to see the danger and protect him from it.
Gulool Ja Ja, through no ill intent or inate fault of his own, simply failed in that.
He doubtlessly has his own hangups, painful topics, things that drive even him to look away and lie to himself. Even if he had the amazing instinct of compensating for a shitton of his own flaws and limitations by cooperating with others that had what he lacked, again, in this one regard
literally nobody in existence
would have any sort of experience with this particular complexity, let alone the keen eye to identify Gulool Ja Ja's massive blind spot AND take the initiative to reach out to him and offer aid.
He and Zoraal ja both are masters at hiding their pain (these chicken dudes are a lot like cats, apparently), and both have pretty compelling reasons to do so. There aren't many people that would
a) care about them personally enough to even decide something needs fixing
b) have the emotional insight to detect what's going on and empathize with the exact problem
c) be the kind of person who could think of a suitable way to help without making a mess
d) have the guts to prod at their personal life without being asked to do so, and avoid getting shown the door immediately
In a sense, Gulool Ja Ja's unique circumstances, the rare thing that DISconnects him from others with no overlap with others anywhere, is his Achilles heel, his one fatal weakness in a person otherwise dipped in invulnerability.
And Zoraal Ja is the arrow that came for it, and it makes my heart break for the both of them.
(This gets a little personal for me, too, in the sense of 'my parents are so capable and smart and empathetic, they're so admirable and competent with everything and everyone EXCEPT WITH ME, for SOME reason, what the FUCK is wrong with me'. Nothing, my issues were just too much like their own issues, which isn't my fault and not theirs either.
Tell ya what, it's really weirdly painful to be in such a position as a kid, caught between love and admiration on one hand, and burning frustration and resentment and shitty self-esteem on the other.)

How Maze Runner Characters Would React To Sharing a Bed With You
Tumblr media
Thomas and you weren't the closest, but you weren't enemies
-You were at best neutral
-When he got trapped in Scorch City though, you both found yourself in an awkward situation
As you two looked at the motel room you would be sharing, you realized there was only one bed
He started looking around the room as if another one was going to appear out of thin air
When it obviously didn't, he turned and asked if you wanted him to sleep in the chair
You told him not to be ridiculous and crawled into it and under the covers
He awkwardly stood by the door for a minute before shutting it and slowly getting in beside you
As you realized he was sleeping on top of the blankets despite literally shivering you promised it was only a bed and told him to get under the covers
He ended up reluctantly doing so and realized that it was much more comfortable
Almost instantly, he was out like a light
When he was, you secretly stayed up, admiring his sleeping figure
As you laid there on your side, you tried to figure out how to tell Greenie that you want to be so much closer to him
Tumblr media
Newt and you had been friends for almost four years and were inseparable
That’s why when you were all told that two people would have to share a room due to lack of space by Janson, you guys decided it wouldn't be a big deal
As you were both led to it you were completely relaxed, quietly making jokes about life
The guard unlocked the door, shoved you both inside, and left
When you realized there was only one bed in it he asked you what you wanted to do
He said he could find another place in the room to sleep, but you were worried about his bad leg getting sore if he sleeps anywhere else but a bed when he doesn't have to
You both decide it’s only a big deal if you let it be
You start out on completely opposite sides, in your own worlds
As the night goes on though, you end up gradually getting closer and closer
When he wakes up before you, he finds you two holding hands with your face right next to the other
His heart was racing like crazy, but he tried to play it cool but reminding himself that it’s only you
When that makes it worse, it becomes clear that the problem has nothing to do with one bed or how close you two are
The problem is that he has feelings for you
As you squeezed his hand in your sleep though, he thought that maybe you return them
Tumblr media
You had been crushing on Minho for a while but didn't think he noticed your existence since you kept to yourself
He had been crushing on you but didn't think you noticed since you never talked to him
The thing was that you were far too nervous to
Thomas noticed the way you two made heart eyes at each other but never did anything
That's how he came up with a genius plan to lock you both in his bedroom
He said he had something to show you both separately, and when you both fell for it, he slammed the door shut, locked it, and ran off
You both banged on it for a while, yelling that it wasn't funny
After half an hour of no answer, you ended up giving up
All the screaming had worn you both out though
You looked at the cot, and both your faces heated up
Y’all went back and forth on who would take it for a few minutes before giving up and deciding that one night of sleeping together wouldn't do much harm
Despite your exhaustion, you didn't end up doing much sleeping
You guys talked about mindless things, stupidly wide grins on your faces as you did
When Thomas came back in the morning, he saw that you had both fallen asleep as one mess of limbs, arms and legs tangled together
While neither of you had confessed, this was one step closer
Tumblr media
You and Gally had both escaped the Maze together and somehow also both been left behind by the Gladers
You had also both got picked up by Right Arm and fixed up, side by side
You were both scared
You had just been thrust into a totally different world with no hint on how you were expected to act yet told to start swimming
Needless, to say everything was pretty heavy
That's why even though he would normally mind very much, he was relieved when there was only one bed in the room you two were sharing
After the experience you had to go through with him, that feeling was mutual
You both climbed right into bed despite not planning on sleeping
There was a television that you both used to try and drown out your own thoughts
When it didn't work, he found himself speaking about Chuck, apologizing a million times for something he could barely remember
You leaned over and lightly hugged him
He instantly clung to you while holding back tears of regret and anguish
Only when he felt yours pour on his shirt was he unable to stop it
You both held each other all night, mourning the people you’d never see again, the people lost along the way, and who you once were
The only slightly good thing, the only thing that let you both keep hanging on, was that you would get to mourn all of that together
Tumblr media
You and Aris had both been taken by WCKD during the betrayal
While you hadn't known each other before then, you become well acquainted when you ended up being each other's only cellmate
You two would pass time, talking about random things or plotting escapes you weren't ready to attempt
You always did so with him on the top bunk and you on the bottom
One night, you had been tossing and turning since had had been taken but hadn't been brought back
As the worry was about to leave you in tears, the cell opened, and he was dragged through, placed on the ground
It was obvious that whatever they did to him left him with so little strength that he wouldn't make it to his usual bunk
You carefully grabbed his arms and helped him onto yours, whispering promises of it being okay
After you tucked him in you went to get on the top bunk only for him to weakly grab your wrist and mumble for you to stay
You were unsure at first but couldn't find it in yourself to say no
You crawled under the blankets with him, wrapping your arms around him as you quietly hummed to him
Having human contact that wasn't causing him pain was such a change that he almost wanted to cry, but he didn't
He just laid there, dozing off to the feeling of safety while secretly falling deeper
When you woke up the next day, you realized he had gone to sleep with dried blood on his skin and a smile on his face
Tumblr media
After Teresa turned everyone into WCKD, she was back in the city
They didn't pay a lot so at first she slept in the facility
As she worked her way up though, she ended up earning enough for a small apartment with a roommate
You were also looking for one so that way you could lower your rent
When you met her, you realized that you two clicked and decided she would room with you before even meeting anyone else
Despite this, she still stayed as late as possible for fear of burdening you
One night you went into her room decently late to ask if she wanted some of your snack only to realize she had no bed
You also didn't have a couch so you realized she had been sleeping on the floor
You waited up for her, and when she walked into the door you got up from the counter and asked if she was sleeping on the floor
She tried to lie but tripped over her words, giving it away
When she explained that she didn't make enough for one, you grabbed her hand and took her to your room, where you pointed to your perfectly available one
She started to protest but was so tired that she was slurring her words
After a few minutes she gave in and crawled in on the very edge
You got in and pulled her more towards the middle, whispering to her in the dark that she could never be a burden
Her entire face burned at the closeness of you two
As butterflies filled her stomach until she thought she was going to be sick, she realized a terrifying truth was she cuddled into your neck
She was now very much over Thomas and very into you
Tumblr media
You had been found in the Scorch by Jorge
He brought you to his home where you were introduced to Brenda
You didn't have any family so they essentially said that they would become yours
After you accepted, Jorge then explained that you would have to share a bed with Brenda for a few nights while he found you one
She knew what it was like sleeping on the floor and was completely fine with it
Since you were still strangers she didn't want you to feel awkward though so she put a pillow barrier between you
Since it was your first time in an actual bed though, you ended up moving around a lot in your sleep
You also moved over the pillow barrier until you were cuddled into your side
She woke up in the middle of the night realizing that and froze as she tried to figure out what to do
Eventually, she decided the best thing to do was nothing and went back to sleep
As she did though, her arm ended up around you
When you woke up, you apologized a million times only for her to promise that it was okay
You both got so used to ending up cuddling in your sleep that when you got a bed you ended up back in hers anyway
It was cramped and sort of inconvenient, but it
Tumblr media
The Spring was slowly but surely running out of room
It seemed like there were more people than supplies, and it was killing y'alls resources
You all had to combat this in different ways, one of which was sharing a room with one bed
It was randomly drawn, with Harriet and Sonya’s names in the jar to prove that it was fair
Sonya’s name was pulled, followed by yours
She knew you didn't choose but was so surprised she almost didn't believe it
She had liked you for forever now so this was absolutely huge
She didn't want to admit that, but she didn't want to make you uncomfortable so she offered to take the floor
You told her that was silly since you had a perfectly good cot and patted the spot beside you
She was nervous but giddy and just full of feelings as she accepted it
She tried to sleep on top of the blanket, but you could feel her shivering later at night and pulled it over her
Her face felt like it was a thousand degrees knowing she was so close to you, but she resisted the urge to squeal
She didn't sleep a wink that night, too caught up in her emotions that one of the most romantic cliches was happening to her
She did daydream about what this could lead to though
Tumblr media
After getting “rescued” by what was secretly WICKED, you and her stayed up later then the others, talking as you ate pizza
Eventually, you were both too tired to keep your eyes open and agreed to go to sleep
You attempted to get into the bedroom only to find that the door had been locked
You looked at each other to ask what the hell was happening, but neither of you knew
After a while of trying, it was clear that the door wasn't opening anytime soon
You both looked back at the single couch, then each other, silently asking if it was okay
When she nodded, you slowly took her hand and led her over there
It wasn't small, but it was still only a couch so you so two were pretty squished together
Your bodies were pressed against the other, and she had to wrap her arms around your waist so neither of you would fall off
Goosebumps traveled up your skin at the feeling of her breath on the back of your neck, but you didn't know what to say
So you stayed silent, holding her hands as she hugged you from behind
She was nervous about it but ultimately felt at peace knowing her best friend was so nearby
If there weren't obvious feelings you were both blind to though, maybe your hearts would beat at a normal pace

Yandere Glamrock Animatronics Headcanons
Note: This was written back in 2022 so it's a bit outdated
Glamrock Freddy
Freddy honestly doesn't know why he loves you. Like, he literally shouldn't be able to romantically love somebody, it's not in his programming. But you've snuck past that somehow and made him absolutely smitten over you. Overwhelmingly so. And now that he is, all he wants is to keep you safe. 
Since you visit the Pizzaplex all the time, he's constantly worried that something is gonna happen to you. There's no telling what kind of danger you could run into, and you could easily get hurt... No, you will get hurt if there's no one to protect you. He has to become your personal body guard, he needs to follow you everywhere or you'll end up dead. It's for your own good. 
Thankfully, he wasn't following you without your permission. (In blunter terms, stalking.) He acted more like an innocent tour guide than anything, escorting you around the area and ensuring you wouldn't get lost. When you got too close to certain places and people, he would carefully direct your attention elsewhere. He would never fully explain why he did so afterwards. 
But it's hard to hate him. He treats you so kindly, praising you for every little thing and calling you his special superstar. Heck, you're even hesitant to tell him no when he offers to carry you in his stomach hatch, despite you not being a child and having no way of fitting in there. But he'll carry you around in other ways if he must! The closer you are, the better!
Unreasonable as that may be, Freddy isn't always that way. He understands that humans need space from time to time, so he'll let you go off on your own from time to time, just as long as you're not anywhere too dangerous and he can keep watch. (Low-key like how a parent would watch their kid at the park 💀) 
He understands that you have loved ones outside of him, as well. Admittedly, he does feel a pang of jealousy when you mention hanging out with other people, but he's concerned over your safety above all else. As long as these people aren't actively harming you, he won't try to meddle. Not too much anyway. ...He can't help himself sometimes. 
Freddy's just such a soft yandere. Even when finds someone who poses an actual threat, he'll still try to be polite with them. He doesn't want to upset you or create unneeded conflict, so he attempts to settle things civilly. But if that doesn't work, well... He's fine with getting a little more aggressive. But he'd try to avoid killing unless it was needed to protect you. 
Glamrock Chica (She's underrated as hell, can you guys start appreciating her more please?)
It's glaringly obvious that Chica doesn't have any concept of what portion control is. When she wants something, she wants all of it, all at once. And she won't let anybody stop her from taking it. Usually, the thing she's chasing after is food, but now you've become her new addiction. Surprisingly, it wouldn't be too bad at first. 
Chica comes off less as a creepy yandere and more like a perky, clingy best friend. She acts sickeningly sweet in order to gain your favor. She goes out of her way to bring you gifts from the prize counter, shares all of her snacks with you (some of them originating from the trash, but it's the thought that counts) and she acts like your personal cheerleader, bringing sunshine into the darkest parts of your life. She's the one you would least suspect. 
This innocent persona has allowed her to effectively make her way inside your heart, and now that she is, you're not gonna kick her out. She makes sure you're not wasting your time with anybody else by taking your hand and dragging you around the Pizzaplex, looking for a new way to excite you. "So! What should we do now, bestie?"
Whenever somebody tries to come between your quality time, her passive aggressive side shines through. The worst she'll do in front of you is say vaguely threatening things, but when you're not around... There may just be another scandal at Fazbear's Entertainment 🙈
That wouldn't be the only scandal. The more time you lose, the more she wants to make up for it. Which includes her trying to squeeze her way into every second of your life. If you're not careful, she might follow you home. ("Take me home with you!") She'll eventually find some way to disobey her coding and leave the Pizzaplex, just so she can give you a """surprise party""" once she shows up at your door. Or more realistically, outside your window. Even more realistically, raiding your fridge and garbage cans 💀
It's either that or she'll lock you up somewhere in the Pizzaplex. Actually, has anyone else heard that one theory that says Vanny uses Chica to kidnap kids? Whether that's true or not, she could still kidnap you almost exceptionally easily. She's an advanced, athletic animatronic that is likely better than you in every way, at least physically. So you're screwed.
In the end, Chica can never get enough of you. She'll eat all of your time, drink all of your affection, and steal whatever innocence you have left. She'll just take and take, because you're hers for the taking, aren't you?
Roxanne Wolf (Roxanne, Roxanne, all she wanna do is party all night, goddamn, Roxanne, never gonna love me but that's alright /lyr)
Many would say it's a mystery how Roxy went so head over heels for you. Her narcissistic exterior makes it seem impossible for her to care about anyone else, when really, she's just trying to make up for confidence she doesn't have. When you look at it from that perspective, it makes sense why she fell for you.
She's always wanted to have certain "perfect" qualities and you seem to embody all of them. She can't truly decide whether she loves or hates you for it- On one hand, you're living proof that it's possible to be "perfect." You're extraordinary in every way, at least in her eyes. On the other hand, ugh, why do you have to be so much better than her?! What's your deal?!
Despite the mental war going on in her head, she still feels the need to gain your approval. She'll see it as another race she has to win, and we know how much she hates to lose. She'll do anything to get your eyes on her. Impressed by keytar skills? She'll give you personal performances. Impressed by her racing skills? She'll take you on as many rides as you want. Impressed by her looks? She'll give you her OnlyFans password She'll work twice as hard to maintain her appearance, freaking out if she has even a smudge from some grubby kid wiping their hands on her. She has to be flawless in your presence or there's no point. 
Everybody, and I mean everybody is a rival to her. Her insecurity is so deep-rooted and she has no healthy coping mechanisms, so jealousy is common. She growls at people who get near and barks at them to back off. This alone is typically enough to keep others away, which is good or else she might pull a Bite of '87---
Roxy's desire to impress you gets worse by 1000% whenever you start getting closer with people other than her. That makes her feel like she's losing the race, and that's when she starts to get desperate. She'll want to stick by your side 24/7 so she can have every possible opportunity to flirt with you, and you can't say no. Hiding from her is impractical, too, given her keen sense of smell and ability to see through walls. You might as well accept it. She's just trying to squeeze that affection out of you, make you prove that you still love her deep inside. 
If that doesn't work, she'll start playing dirty. Similar to how she taunted Gregory in the game, she'll harrass anyone trying to steal you away by putting them down and raising herself up at the same time. To help convince herself she's good enough for you. "What, you think they would waste their time on you? You're nothing! Nothing compared to me!"
And if that doesn't work? Well it's time for the Bite of '22---
If you ever argue with her for being a piece of shit to your friends, she'll push the blame on you and act like you're the asshole. She'll strut away, pretending as if your disapproval doesn't bother her, as if she doesn't base her self esteem completely on your opinion of her. But she does. And the moment she's alone, she'll break down crying and hate herself even more for being a failure. If you can't love her, then surely nobody will. 
Roxy is simply unstable altogether. Don't drive her over the edge, as she barely holds herself back to begin with. The only one who could be worse is... 
Montgomery Gator
Yeah, it can't get much worse than this. Ever since Monty was first activated, he wanted to be the star of the show. The one who everybody adores. But he quickly found out that he'd always be overshadowed by somebody else. He was forced into the position of a background character, when he knew that he was destined for more. He should be the one in center stage, not anybody else. 
This main character syndrome carries over to his relationship with you. He figures that he can use you as a source of approval in the meantime. He can handle not being the star of the show (yet) as long as he's the star of your heart. 
And if he already is, then things could go surprisingly well. A lot of Monty's anger stems from the frustration of not feeling loved enough, so if you can supply him with enough intimacy, he might actually calm down a bit. He'll stop using his time being destructive in favor of spending time with you, which would be much appreciated by everyone. 
But don't get too comfy. You shouldn't expect much from someone like Monty. He's insanely paranoid that your love could be stolen away, so he acts controlling in order to prevent that. If he says you're not gonna hang out with that person, you're not gonna hang out with them. If he says you're gonna go somewhere with him, you're gonna go somewhere with him. And you have to act like you love every second or he'll be offended and yell at you. Not a good relationship to be in. 
And if you didn't reciprocate his feelings to begin with... You've just put everyone in the Pizzaplex at risk for death. He'll blow his fucking lid, throwing the biggest tantrum in his life and destroying everything he comes across. Tearing apart every human and bot that walks by- He doesn't discriminate. And he's so blinded by rage that he just might hurt you too. 
If he did, he wouldn't feel much remorse. He'd just use it as an example, saying that's what'll happen if you ever try to go to someone else. Because he's going to make you love him. He'll hurt you and everybody you care about if you don't. He already took down that stupid rabbit and that jerk bear is next- What's another life mean to him?
And together...
Never mind 💀 It got much worse than that 
So let's establish one simple fact first: None of them want to share. The one who's most pissed about it is Monty, who as we've learned, does NOT want to be treated like a background character. And having to share with his bandmates definitely makes him feel like that. He's going to be the most confrontational out of all of them and will jump at any chance to hurt the others, no matter how inconvenient it may be.
Roxy would do the same as Monty if she weren't smarter. Since Monty is always causing trouble, he's often locked away in his room and left in his own little version of time-out, which Roxy knows she can't afford. She has to make the most out of every second! The race to your heart is a lot more difficult when she's competing against her bandmates, so she's got to speed up or else she'll be left alone. And just the thought of that makes her want to sob. So she attempts to one-up everything the others do and paint herself in the highest light possible, desperately hoping that'll be enough to attract you. If not, she's got a ton of arguments she needs to get into...
Remember how I said Chica won't let anybody stop her from getting the things she wants? Yeah, that still applies. Doesn't matter if it's her bandmates or not, if she wants a piece, she's gonna get a piece! But she has to be more clever about the way she handles you. She's not about to get yelled at by Roxy or torn apart by Monty, so she'll find ways to sneak you away, even from Freddy's safe grasp. Or maybe she'll just kidnap you so she can keep you all to herself. Who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Freddy has changed the least. See, all this scenario does is confirm that he was right-- The Pizzaplex is a dangerous place for you to be in, and his very own friends are the ones making that true. It greatly upsets him, and yet, in a sick way... He's almost glad. Because you're too scared of the others always bickering with each other and harrassing you. This might be the best thing that's ever happened to him, because you run into his arms for protection. And he's more than willing to oblige. Just say the word, superstar.

So here's a hybrid au I had in mind! For sbi, of course, though a bit of Quackity&Techno friendship because idk but I think it's neat
Philza is an ender dragon hybrid. They're not supposed to exist. Anyway, he lives in the end and does cool shit, and eventually the goddess of the end (who is literally the end dimension itself) falls in love with him. Which is nice, Kristin loves her dragon husband.
One day, they decide they want to have kids, so Kristin's like 'sure, you know what, I'll just rip a piece of void out and roughly make it kid-shaped, that'll be fine' but Phil's like 'hey how the hell did we get two kids instead of one and also one of them is literally floating'.
They're twins! Techno is a warden hybrid and Wilbur is a wither hybrid. Phil loves Kristin but she absolutely does not get the fact that this is not what normal children do. They also make another child a few years later, who turns out to be an elder guardian hybrid.
So Wilbur: can wither things with his touch, float and make explosions with his mind. He also has three eyes (like the wither has 3 heads) but he keeps the third closed most of the time. He can see through invisibility potions, and is immune to lava.
Techno: is blind, but senses vibrations in the ground around him and hears really well and can sense things through literally every sculk vines in the world all at once. He can also teleport through them and scream loud enough to physically hurt people. Yes, he was a fun baby to deal with.
Tommy: can control water and basically has x-ray vision. He can also slow down time for individual people (the fatigue effect) and of course can breathe underwater and swim really fast.
Random things about their house. Most of the floor is covered in sculk so Techno can sense people and move through it easily. Wilbur absolutely abusing the fact that he can be quiet and hover so he doesn't touch the vines so Techno can't sense him. Tommy making parenting a fucking nightmare when he slows down everyone around him and just screams. Techno retreating to a little cave he's got carved out in an island for some piece and quiet. Mumza being the void so she's basically immune to everything and can go anywhere in the end, so she is fine while Phil suffers.
Anyway, once they're at an age where they can hide their hybrid nature, Phil takes them out into the world. Techno makes a name for himself as a gladiator, and really, they all just cause chaos. Techno befriends this homeless duck hybrid who full on admits to wanting to start a mafia when he grows older and Techno goes 'sounds cool, I'm yoinking you now' and takes him home.
Phil sees Quackity and goes 'hatchling??? hatchling who cannot fly???' and immediately is on board with adoption. He teaches Quackity how to fly.
Wilbur and Tommy, who didn't realise you could just kidnap orphans off the street and take them home begin their own collection, taking home Niki and Fundy, and Tubbo respectively. Phil adopts all of them. They all eventually know about the sbi's weird hybrid status and are cool with it.
Then along comes Dream.
The early days of the DSMP play out as normal, Tommy joins and causes some chaos, and pisses Dream off. But then, they realise 'hey this Dream guy's kind of a bitch' as time goes on, and slowly a plan begins to form. Basically, everyone else is in on the storyline and just acting along. There are no traitors, and the main guys that Phil adopted are all still great friends and love each other, and the other that join outside that group are in on it too. But Dream doesn't know any of this. He thinks it's real. And as time goes on, and his actions get worse and worse, everyone kind of dislikes him, even though they know he's not actually doinf any harm.
Oh, and the sbi are all immortal. Philza will respawn in the end and can regenerate with crystals. Wilbur's body can be killed, but then he just walks around as a bunch of souls until he can get to some soulsand and reform his body. If Tommy gets killed, he just regenerates at the nearest monument because he's a sea guardian you can't just kill the guardian of the sea. Techno also can't really be killed because he's all the sculk at once, so you kill him at one place and he just pops up in another like a hydra. Kristin, who is all of the End at once, is the only one who really gets him in that regard. Also, because she's a goddess, basically Mumza says none of the dsmp deaths count so there's no way any of them are dying on that server.
So, the canon events happen. L'Manberg falls and Wilbur 'dies'. Tommy gets exiled. Exile is absolutely a breeze for him. Techno and Wilbur visit him all the time and he's right next to the ocean which is great. Tubbo also visits him too.
Random idea that Ranboo finds out Techno's hybrid status when they're fleeing from some pillagers in a mansion and Techno pulls them through the sculk too (it's not a pleasant experience for anyone other than Techno. The only one outside of the main sbi who is used to it is Quackity because they do it so often) and they wind up in a cave. Techno asks if he can 'see' Ranboo's face, which Ranboo is opposed to until they realise 'oh that blindfold isn't just for show this guy is blind' because most people forget that Techno is, in fact, completely blind. They allow him to 'see' their face, and in return, Techno takes off his blindfold to show that he has no eyes whatsover so he can't even look Ranboo in the eyes and make the enderman hybrid uncomfortable. Ranboo immediately like Techno more for this because people really consider eye contact important. They bond, Techno decides not to drag them through the sculk again and they walk back to the surface.
The rest of canon goes along up until Dream's imprisonment. They imprison him, and then they basically forget about him. Because that's all dsmp was to them, a prank on an asshole, but now that's over they can return to their normal lives. Quackity starts Las Nevadas as the base of operations for his burgeoning mafia empire, with Techno at his side. Wilbur is Not jealous and doesn't make his own little attenpt at a mafia in retaliation (it doesn't work). Bench trio do things togeth, Ranboo and Tubbo get Michael, they're all living their best lives.
And then Dream breaks out of prison, because Sam has left it basically unattended for months now. And Dream wants answers, so he goes to Las Nevadas to find Quackity (who he thinks will be easy to manipulate) and get some help. Of course, Quackity is now the head of a mafia empire with most of the dsmp members working as partners alongside him, or at least as business partners with their own ventures. And Quackity also makes sure all the flooring in Las Nevadas is carpeted in sculk. Quackity tells Dream to get out of his casino, and Techno shows up basically to help threaten him (Quackity is good in a fight, okay, but not Dream good)
Dream thinks it's Techno running the empire and tries to tell Quackity he's being manipulated, but these guys aren't having any of it. They've literally been best friends to the point of nearly being siblings for years, they know what's up. In a last ditch attempt to get someone on his side, Dream asks Techno where Tommy is, information which Techno gives willingly.
Dream goes to the island where Tommy is and tries every trick in the book to make him come to his side, banking on the belief the conditioning in exile worked. It didn't, of course, and Tommy winds up fighting him instead. Dream wins, though, killing Tommy and is like 'well, hey, at least I managed to get rid of that fucking menace' except NOPE! Tommy's back because you're on an island surrounded by sea, near his monument. And Tommy finally reveals to Dream his hybrid status and kicks his ass.
And everyone lives happily ever after :)

Me, taking a teeny tiny peak into Saccharina Frostwhip's tag out of curiosity: maybe I'll just see a teeny tiny spoiler, no harm, just a hint of the relationship between her, Ruby, and Amethar improving...
Literally the first post talking about Saccharina specifically: "Rewatching A Crown of Candy had reminded me how much I hate Saccharina."
Me: ( ・᷄ ︵・᷅ )
Granted they then went on to talk about how well-written/roleplayed this character was, how if we had followed along her storyline the whole time instead that 'of course we would be on her side' in this tension between the "reunited" family, so on and so forth (it is a good post, I am just not reblogging because the core of it of "I personally hate her but she is a good character" is pretty antithetical to how I feel, and I also disagree that she's SO focused on receiving the love of her father and half-sister that she's unable to recognize the love and acceptance she's received from her cousins and a loyal knight of the family)
I'm just over here pretty surprised that this is a supposedly large audience reception Saccharina had when A Crown of Candy was still the latest in the batch of Dimension 20 adventures? Enough so that her player got hate for it? And was a feeling so strong that it holds out even upon rewatching it?
As far as I could tell watching everything going on, EVERYONE had reasonable feelings about the situation.
The only reason she was able to survive in that orphanage, grow as strong and powerful as she was, is because even as the nuns tried to burn it out of her Saccharina held onto the fact that they were wrong, that she had a father out there who would love her and want her.
Of course she's disappointed when her attempts at being friendly and sharing camaraderie are rebuked. Of course she's hurt when, after all these years dreaming of finally having a home with the people she came from, the lineage that gave her the gifts that brought her so much joy and misery at the same time, they react coldly towards her, suspicious of her, either keeping their distance or, as is in Ruby's case, being openly hostile.
And of course they are. I truly believe that if they had met before the events of episode 9, Amethar would've swept Saccharina up into a bear hug, unabashedly giving her the love she'd always dreamed of. But he had just been stabbed in the back by his best friend of 20 years, who had also been revealed in the same moment to be the cause behind his sisters' murders. He had just lost the daughter that was most like him, that reminded him so much of his sister Rococoa. He's already made the choice that he needs to harden up, become cold, if he was going to keep Caramelinda, Ruby, and all the people who trusted them and helped them alive. He thought he knew who Calroy was, and trusted him, but he didn't. And it cost him too much. He definitely doesn't know who Saccharina is, and he can't afford to lose anyone else.
Ruby is a bit harder for me to judge, as I think there still might've been some rivalry/resentment(?) through their connections to magic and Lazuli, but I don't think she would've been anywhere near as aggressive over this revelation before losing Jet. Because she's not just dealing with the death of her sister, or even the death of her other half. She is dealing with being the reason why Jet died, at least in her own mind. Jet, for once in her life, showed hesitance in acting bold and brash, didn't want to follow up on the letter on their own. Ruby, who usually is the one following Jet's lead, took the reigns, and now one of them is dead. She only lived because she ran away and left her sister behind to die. And now the universe turns around, says, 'Surprise! You've got a new sister now, and she's bursting at the seams with magic,'?
Both of these characters wear their hearts on their sleeves, and as great as they are with their strengths, they've already shown they can be terribly immature as one of their faults. These things are not Saccharina's fault, but it is what they're dealing with and end up projecting onto her while literally everyone else in the party openly accepts Saccharina into the group, and she accepts them into her found family of marauders in turn.
Saccharina notes how the former king, queen, and bastard princess reacted towards her, and what is her immediate response? "Ok. They don't love me. They don't even like me. Maybe I can try to avoid them hating me by at least being useful. By at least not being an inconvenience."
And that is what she sticks by while talking to them for so long, occasionally throwing out a line to test if maybe they could still end up liking her, that she could still have that family she's always dreamed of, only to hit their walls and instantly reel back to at least being useful, without really knowing why the wall is even there. She tells them she's disappointed, of what she had hoped for, but not in a tone blaming them, angry at them, its almost as if she can't help letting it slip out through her diplomacy as she appends it again and again with her hopes she can at least be useful. She tries over and over to make it clear that she only sees the throne as a tool, one that she doesn't really want but one that she needs, and at the same time tries to offer herself to the Rocks family as the same thing. A tool that can be at least needed, if not wanted.
The rest of her hurt? She confides to her found family. And even then, as she voices to the marauders about her frustration that the Rocks don't want her, that she doesn't know why she keeps trying and that maybe it'd be best if she just stopped and accepted it, she can't stop, she keeps trying to appeal to them through her actions.
And, again, she doesn't know how deep their own hurt goes, how horrific the road their open hearts had led them down and why now, of all times, they've closed themselves off. She sees loss, and is confounded because loss is where she started as young as five years old. And yet she still doesn't treat them any differently. She's finally snapped and let the amount of hurt she's felt finally show to both Amethar and Ruby now, but she still shows them trust, and support, and is willing to lean on the people they brought with them just as much if not even more so than her own people. Her sharp-sounding formality is not how she wants to address them, because deep down she is as open hearted as the rest of the Rocks. It is a mirror she is reflecting as she tries to come to terms with the fact that her dream can't be reality, as much as the child within her still longs for and reaches towards it.
Knowing all that, watching how clear they make her feelings regarding everything and how carefully she's trying to maneuver through the world she's found herself in, how much she's trying to prove that she can at least be a good asset, I'm still just... really gobsmacked that a large number of people look to her and hate her.

Darling Little Puppet
Wally Darling X Reader
Chapter 5- Curiosity Killed The Cat
Momentarily enjoying the soft feathery feeling of the poor victim you’d slam yourself into, but to your surprise you were met with nothing but red colored feathers, you prayed to god maybe it was just a costume, but alas he was not on your side today as the mysterious ball of feathers turned to face you with a annoying look on her equally feathery face.
She squawked at the sight of you, pulling her arm- wing? Whatever it was up to her beak as if she was staring at a zoo animal that had just escaped it’s enclosure, it made you feel self conscious, did you look that bad? But you barely had space to think about that as you stared up at the bird that practically towered over you, she could practically squish you if she pleased. Doing the only reasonable thing you screamed bloody murder as you stared at what the fuck this abomination was and promptly bolted away from the terrifying colorful creature, having an alarmed face the entire time as you turned to run away like a feral cat, hearing her call after you in attempt to get you to stay and probably question who you were.
Making a quick turn around the building you two were previously in front of, you’d assume it was a post office as it had a mailbox on the side of the building you’d glanced at while running. Now located in the center of the small town? Neighborhood was also another guess that ran through your head, turning your head to look at one of the houses it was a cute little red house with some bushes and freshly planted flowers on either side of the entryway, walking closer to try and see if you could figure anything else out about this place and where the hell you were, also to catch your breath, unfortunately to no avail for both actions, you’d find yourself questioning the windows that were decorated as eyes, watching them move and stare-
“Did it just fucking look at me? Hundred percent sure by now I’m not anywhere close to my home…” You looked disgusted by this point, the living? House seemed to not be able to do anything other then just look at you and make lot’s of ruckus that involved creaking and thumping. It honestly freaked you out but it seemed that the house couldn’t harm you physically, you didn’t need another injury as the lingering pain in your head and the soreness of your whole body snapped you back to reality, if this could even be considered real.
“Oh Wally you’re just the best artist! This is the best drawing of an apple I’ve ever seen! It’s way better than the one you showed me yesterday!” A voice of a very joyful girl could be heard as she practically shouted at the person near her, you’d look around for a hiding spot and the one close enough was unfortunately the bush near the white flowers, quickly diving into it’s unnecessarily sharp sticks and twigs you’d quietly cursed as a twig had poked your eye. Making yourself as hidden as possible you’d try your best to peep out the bush and see who the new voices were, how populated was this place and why were the majority of them strange looking animals?
Peering from inside the shrubbery you’d spot very blonde hair, and what seemed to be green leggings..? It was almost humorous how similar she looked to that cartoon Julie….almost humorous.
‘You’ve gotta be kidding me.'
Inhaling sharply through your nose you’d push yourself a little bit more farther but not too much so you’d be seen by the girl that looked to be a puppet you’d watch play around on your Tv just the night before. The more you analyzed her the more you couldn’t deny that she was probably some girl dressed up as her, they acted the same, dressed the same, hell even talked the same and by that she literally kept talking without missing a beat for what seemed forever.
As you droned out her rambling you began to analyze your situation, so did this mean that you were somehow teleported, maybe even trapped, inside a children’s Tv show? But everything here seemed far too real to be a little show kids watched on their stupid Tv, did that mean they could see you? Were you trapped in an episode? Were you dead? You’d already checked the back of your head that one time and there wasn’t any blood or even a gaping head wound so that crossed out that possibility, it relieved you to know that you weren’t dead but it unsettled you to know that your were in a kids Tv show. Although it made you wonder, were you robbed by a person who wasn’t actually human because as far as you knew humans weren’t able to teleport each other into television shows at will. Even then you had to show an ounce of gratitude that you weren’t inside a slasher movie, You’d probably be the first person to die if that was the case.
Hearing Julie’s voice falter as she spoke was the only thing that stopped you from going into a downward spiral of pure confusion on how and why you’d end up in this very strange situation.
“Uhhh- Wally what’re you doing?” She’d ask, tilting her head in confusion as she’d stop her temporary rolling on her heels just to emphasize how confused she really was at her neighbors antics.
‘Wait where is Wally-‘ You’d think mentally slapping yourself for not keeping a better eye out, suddenly the sensation of being picked up by your underarms became very apparent as you were lifted from out of the bushes you took refuge in, as if you were some random outdoor animal being abducted from their environment, yelping in surprise as it had all happened too sudden not even having enough time to think of making an escape route, the most you could do was squirm in defeat.
“Well what do we have here?” A voice of the not so darling puppet spoke as he held you up with surprising strength.
Welp, Cat’s out the bag now.
———————————————————————————
GUYS I MADE THE AO3 ACCOUNT, it’s under the same user i use for tumblr, and all thanks to that beautiful person for encouraging me, I’m so happy for all of the support and love I’ve received so far for this story, lmk if there’s any little bits I messed up on or if there’s an idea you simply came up with! I love talking with you guys!

Fail
Lately I've been trying to be happier and more positive despite everything else. I think I'm giving up on that. A boy that texted me online early this year but then stopped some days after texted me again yesterday. He was doing badly and told me what was wrong. It's kind of hard to communicate with him because his English isn't that good but it's alright. However the conversation I had with him truly exhausted me which makes me feel like a hypocrite for willing to help him at first.
What he told me only makes me more confused.
I don't understand why boys are either into whores or unhealthy girls. Somehow they like those that drink alcohol, smoke, self harm, do drugs etc. Probably because they're good looking and that sickens me!!!!! Why would they reject respectable girls for them??? Why would they be attracted to what makes them miserable? Do they like misery? I've got plenty of it. But no, it's only attractive if the girl herself is. It's so stupid. I hate this, I hate women, most of them. I hate how those boys are getting manipulated by them.
They would accept anyone, literally anyone as long as they have a pretty face and nice big breasts. It's unfair. They'd accept getting stepped on or whipped as long as she's attractive. They'd follow her like a dog anywhere, head over heels, trying to "fix" her or whatever. Women are doing this on purpose, they get attention, then "pity", then even more attention so the boys feel like it's "love" but it isn't!!!! Its obsession, or something. Are they blind??? Do they not see how evil they are??
It's over. It's completely over. No one even likes to love anymore. Or maybe they do, they just don't like me. I used to be very loved in elementary school. What the hell changed? I feel everyone has grown up except me. Girls didn't like to play with me, so I'd mostly play with boys. We used to have lots of fun. Now they all have turned into whores; girls and boys. The girls are all attention seeking bouncing their honkers around for boys. Boys try to act cool, "teenage like" with them and do whatever the hell they like to do. No one plays anymore. No one has interesting conversations anymore. It makes me gag to hear them talk about "love". It's not love they think, they just fixate their mind on people they don't even know to lust over.
I feel very left out. They've all changed. I remember months ago, some of my classmates (that were sitting right next to me and two of them were supposedly my friends) started playing a game where they basically point out a flaw or a fact about one of them who will have to accept it and not say anything about it. I disliked it because they didn't ask me to play with them. I saw them asking for those around them to play, but not me. After some time, I asked one of my "friends" if I could participate. He said something like "yeahhh... but you're like, sensitive you don't like hearing the truth..". It makes me feel bad. Because I don't like to be treated differently just because I'm "sensitive". I know that the reason is mostly because they have nothing to say about me. Not even my "friends" know much about me, let along the whores that were playing with them. I hate how they all act brothers and sisters, as if they were oh so close. It disgusts me.
One day I will rise and be cool and popular. At that time, they will all beg at my feet to be labelled as my friends.
It sounds awful, but I'm just lonely.
I barely receive a single text from my school "friends". I know that they text those sluts daily on Snapchat, the worst most stupid app ever in my opinion. It's for cunts. They care about "snapscores" or however they call it. It's dumb! I don't understand what they have that I don't. Despite my hatred for this app, I still have it. They don't send me anything though. What's so interesting about their lives? I wish I was special, like Tom Yorke said. Like them. What's so special about them? I don't know. I think I'm too ugly. Am I not funny? After all they have such a stinky humour. I wish Elliot Rodger would be still alive because maybe he could kill them. I'd like to do it myself but I'm a pussy. When I was younger, I'd dream a lot about pausing time to humiliate and kill them pests.
I don't understand why I should be a loser. It's unfair. It's like the whole world is against me but I'm not even special enough for that to be true.

Hello!
I am very happy to have found your account here on Tumblr. I particularly jumped off Elain's stan boat because of the harassment.
On Twitter I commented on something I don't like about the IC regarding Elain, I was stalked by e/riel stan. It is very difficult to dialogue with these people from this part of the fandom. There are ups and downs with each character, but with Elain there is a divide.
SJM claims to like careful readers. I identify as one noticing the dots. I really like Elain because I think she is resilient and adaptable to good and bad circumstances.
a part of the fandom is afraid that she will leave NC and discover the world. It's not even a ship issue.
But I don't feel like she's accomplished in NC as many do.
Nesta has always been present and a dark figure like not all NC members, even though she has people with sweet and neutral thoughts.
Elain since her arrival doesn't seem to belong to that court. One of the similarities with Lucien is that he also adapts to places and people.
I see so much potential for them. They are characters that would grow a lot together.
What do you think of Elain leaving the Night Court? Do you think her chances of finding her place in the world will be outside of her family's protective wings?
(thanks for your account, I feel welcomed. Being Elain's stan has been difficult)
Hello and Happy Monday!
First, thank you for sharing this with me and I am really sorry to hear that this was your experience. It's extremely odd that E/riel stans (or even just an Anti Elain readers) who bully to this extent can't take a step back and see that they are being cruel to an actual person over someone that doesn't even exist in real life. And if they do have trouble grasping that Elain isn't real because she feels that real to them, you'd think they would consider how the character of Elain has been written and realize how much she'd disapprove of their behavior. This is a character who doesn't seek revenge on anyone and doesn't want anyone fighting her battles for her yet their response to that is to harrass and bully? 🤔
Second, I completely understand that it is difficult being an Elain (but not E/riel) Stan! She really is my favorite character and I tend to hold her in high regard. But usually you don't have her as a favorite character of a person unless you're an E/riel so being an Elucien AND having Elain as a favorite seems to be the minority group.
But I don't know how if you are an Elain Stan (despite your ship), you're missing the clues that Elain is not the right fit for the NC.
And no, fixating on Elain having friends there or her declaring "she's part of this Court!" isn't enough to argue that she belongs. Nesta herself said Elain can make friends anywhere. And are we really going to act like we haven't all said, "it's fine! I'm fine! I'm happy!" to others when we're not actually fine or happy?
Those examples as proof are nothing compared to everything else SJM has told us.
Elain refused Illyrian leathers and has the life sucked out of her in NC black.
She refused one weapon then only accepted another after Feyre told her she wouldn't have to use it.
She stabbed the King to stop him from harming Nesta then ran away from him as quickly as she could to go to Cassian while Nesta walked over and decapitated him.
After using a weapon, she wanted no further part of it. Returned it and "didn't look back". She never asked for additional lessons or training.
She tries to downplay her part in killing the King.
Cruelty bothers her.
She doesn't enjoy revenge.
She's not a regular part of the ICs political meetings.
Her own sisters don't look to her first for advice or company, she's merely a "pleasant companion".
Her current role is literally cooking for the IC and serving them and tending to Feyre's garden.
SJM drew extreme comparisons how neither Nesta or Feyre belonged in Spring but it had been MADE for someone like Elain. A place her own Mate is now permanently stationed.
SJM makes it a point to remind us in Nesta's book that Elain always wanted to travel to the continent, a place we now know Koschei is in, a place where Cassian reminds us Lucien has been and a place his friend Vassa will have to return.
I honestly don't know how you can really like Elain and not see those flashing signs that she's not where she's meant to be. Not to mention all the things that they use to support Elain staying in the NC happened off page. We never got to read her thoughts while developing a relationship with the twins or start to show interest in Az. To me, that's a pretty big deal.
SJM isn't a Male character focused author. Yes she's written Male POV but at the end of the day, the female is meant to have an equal or greater journey. Which means the fact that SJM conveniently has not given us Elain's thoughts on any of those supposed "big" moments should be a warning that none of that is going to be Elain's future.
I'm so sorry anyone created an unsafe space for you because you shared some great insight and it's not right that you aren't able to freely share it!
My messages are always open if you ever want to share more ❤️

My bad experience in a radfem Discord server - XY Cemetery by tomieradfem [2/5]
If you haven't read it, go to the first post (link below).
If you don't care, keep scrolling.
Where did we stop...
Tumblr media
Oh, yeah. I got muted here. Plus, I was called a schizo.
At this point, and I'm embarrassed to admit this - I held back tears. If people weren't in the room with me I would have cried. Btw, I'm a person who cries like, once a year, and it's barely a tear, so this is a big deal.
Why did I cry? Because I have been lonely for many years, hopelessly searching for a place where I belong. I thought this was finally it. Radfems... I agree with them on many topics, I can talk to them about things that would make me a bullied social outcast anywhere else. If they won't accept me, who will?
I was VERY upset after being silenced. I had to speak - so, I chose the only other reasonable, non-hostile member of the conversation - Riri.
I admit, I didn't behave perfectly in the dms. I was very upset and on the verge of tears. Still though I disagree that I was rude to her.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She promised to tell them I meant no harm. Guess what happened next?
Tumblr media
Defend your friends from what? From me defending myself? You're the only one who took it personally when you shouldn't have.
Tumblr media
(Rea understands me. She even reached out to me and sent me a friend request, because she felt bad. I removed her after some time because we haven't talked since. I was open to a friendship though.)
Tumblr media
I never acted out. I was reasonable and you didn't listen.
Tomieradfem will keep saying stuff like "believing things online", when me believing them would also count as "believing things online" 😭.
Tumblr media
She reached out to the server and sent the screenshots of our conversation to her friends.
Tumblr media
Don't care at this point. It never needed to become like this. We could have reached this conclusion respectfully.
ANDDD BEHOLD
Tumblr media
Truly degenerate response.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I left the server.
After leaving, not gonna lie, I immediately regretted it. What if there was a chance of me being accepted back?
I left because why would I want to stay in a space that is so hostile towards me? Still, I had no clue what happened after I left. What if some of them felt bad because I was misunderstood? If there was a chance of my returning I would absolutely do it.
I created an alt account to join the server, just to see what the rest of the server said about me.
To do this, I faked some of my info, that being age and how long I've been a radfem. I wanted easy, quick, drama-free access to the server.
What did I come back to?
Tumblr media
Nah I think I'm valid to think it's because of upskirting. I'm gonna need to see some serious proof to not believe that, words from some 20 year-olds on Discord aren't enough.
I might be wrong about the laws - that doesn't negate the rest of what I've said.
"what the HELL is her problem with riri??" OKAY WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK
"what did riri do??" NOTHING. I never said she did anything! I never attacked her! Why is everyone treating her as some victim? Btw I showed all the relevant screenshots, I didn't hide ANYTHING I said. I never attacked Riri in dms. I asked for help.
Tumblr media
Who the heck said Japan is hell on Earth? Not me! I just said a fact I learned!
Even celine who lived in Korea was unsure lol.
Never said Japan is a hellscape. Remember:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"why japan in particular gets called out"...because, my friend:
Tumblr media
Literally how many times will I have to repeat this?
Tumblr media
Wow poor Riri, I feel so bad for her :((( how I victimized her like a...wait what? Mentions of racism?? Hmm I wonder what they will say next.
Note for my 75 followers (damn thanks y'all, never expected I would have that many): My secret life mission is to make everyone hate Japan. Don't tell anyone.
Tumblr media
I'm gonna have to start writing down insults. There's gonna be so much more.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Never mentioned anything about the West. I'm not even from the West you clown.
Tumblr media
I didn't "lose it" I defended and continued to defend myself. Because that's the type of person I am. Someone who doesn't let others walk over her, even if their name is tomieradfem.
Tumblr media
That was my introduction to the server. I felt like the server was gonna be a great place to connect. Guess not.
Tumblr media
"curious how it came to happen that japan is taking all-"
Tumblr media
Also I'm officially a racist.
Tumblr media
My heart bleeds for Riri I am actually crying. How I victimized her is so horrible...
Japan is full of creeps yes, fucking deal with it.
Tumblr media
I dmed Riri so she could help me. That's the ONLY reason.
Tumblr media
Never said they were liars, she's making this up.
Tumblr media
So what if Riri is from Japan? I should blindly trust her? I don't even know that woman. Also this is actually dangerous. If a woman from Iran said that women don't get attacked for not wearing hijab in Iran (which might be the case sometimes) am I not allowed to disagree just because she lives there, despite all the proof that suggests otherwise I see on the Internet?
Tumblr media
This has nothing to do with someone correcting you on your native language loser (literally in their name). And tomieradfem is the one who needs to lower her ego. I never displayed my ego unlike her.
She literally muted me for no reason without a warning and I'm the one who needs thick skin? So basically everyone who doesn't wanna be bullied by discord mods is just too sensitive.
Showing my true colors in dms? What do you mean? If anything, the dms showed that I meant no harm.
Tumblr media
I can't handle heat and you can't handle someone "disagreeing" with you (looking back, I didn't even disagree with Riri's statement, mostly).
Go to the third post. We're almost done.

Moony's TWST Vampire AU
Tumblr media
Part 5: Pomefiore
Heartslabyul Savannaclaw Octavinelle Scarabia Pomefiore (you are here) Ignihyde Diasomnia Extras
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(listen I know what a massive contrast this is— it's just the only official art which shows the entire Dorm together)
Tumblr media
This is NOT ORGANIZED lmao Literally just unfiltered thoughts and ideas, with some short writing snippets only sneaking in by accident. Literal brainrot stuff
Also some thoughts will absolutely be longer than others I wrote most of this in like 5 hours in one sitting
It will be in 8 parts. First the dorms, and then a final one for my thoughts on some side-characters' places in this AU
Tumblr media
Basic rules of the Vampire AU:
A vampire is unkillable until they turn someone. As such, vampires are rare, and usually created on accident.
Vampires can't die of starvation. They can sure try, and by god will it hurt, but it can't kill them.
Vampires can drink liquids that aren't blood, though they get no nutrients from it, but they cannot ingest food. If they try to eat normal food, they just throw it up, their bodies rejecting it entirely.
They can drink any blood that is not from another vampire.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Vil
Vil was turned willingly. He wanted to live to surpass who he considered his greatest rival on the stage— Neige Leblanche. His whole reason for becoming a vampire was to outlive that name. So imagine his ire when it seems the name keeps being passed around to new actors, as some of kind badge of honor, as though it would proclaim someone 'the best'.
He's vowed that one day, he will obtain that title for himself.
It's been almost 400 years now, but he still hasn't given up.
Vil owns a theatre. He uses makeup and some convincing acting to pretend he's getting older at the same rate as humans, then he 'dies', closes the theatre for 10 years or so, until everyone who remembers seeing what he looked like has moved on, then starts over again, trying to one-up his last run every time.
Vil has actually never turned someone else. He gets his blood from hospitals, or by extracting it without the use of his fangs— he would never stop so low as to eat a mere human. If he ever wound up at that point, it would be 'rock bottom' for him, and extremely embarrassing.
But he and Rook keep playing at this will-they-won't-they thing. Rook obviously wants Vil to turn him. And he's actually managed to get close to it. But he's always backed off at the last second. If Vil turned Rook, that would mean Vil was no longer immune from harm. It would mean Rook could kill him if he wanted to. But Vil is starting to think that at this point, he might even deserve it, for how persistent he's been.
Though every single time, he keeps backing off later and later. So it's probably only a question of time before they, as Rook puts it 'consummate their love'.
But Vil isn't going to let it happen until he can be sure he'll still be allowed to continue his life, and now un-life's, great passion for theatre.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Rook
Rook is a human— one of only four (and a half, technically?) in this AU. He used to live nearby where Leona's vampire clan had set up shop. He'd figured out they were vampires, and was trying to hunt(?) them.
I say hunt(?) because while he did definitely posses the skills to kill a vampire who had turned someone, and he probably did at some point, he doesn't actually have any second deaths officially tied to him.
At some point, after Vil visited Leona's Clan for a meeting of the prominent vampires in the area, Rook took an interest in him and just...followed him home. He doesn't live with Vil; he doesn't seem to live anywhere in particular, and just comes and goes wherever and whenever he likes. But he always seems to return to Vil's side in the end.
He wants to be a vampire in order to witness various kinds of beauty forever.
Tumblr media
Tumblr media
Epel
Epel was turned by Jack, his college roommate.
Vil forced Epel to work at his theatre after Epel accidentally broke something of his, so he could pay it back through work. But then he also saw potential in Epel and started trying to mold him into a specific image he thinks would make Epel popular enough as an actor to maybe be able to win the name/title of 'Neige Leblanche'.
Epel has tried to fight him many times in order to break free of that, thinking Vil, as a, in his mind, 'fancy-schmancy actor' would be easy pickings. So imagine his surprisde when he ended up inhaling fistfuls of carpet fibre every single time he tried!
So when he finds out Vil is a vampire, it puts that night with the flower pot, as well as why he couldn't beat him, into perspective to him. He also starts becoming much more sensitive to signs of potential other vampires around him now that he knows they exist. So when he gets a new college roommate after the last one flunked out, and suddenly all the windows expect for in Epel's room have to be covered during the day, and all the food in the kitchen is just Epel's, he gets suspicious immediately.
He straight up asks Jack if he's a vampire pretty quickly then before even getting an answer, explains he wants to become one too, so he can fight Vil.
And Jack agrees.
He has to take a whole month off work and school because of it.
When Epel returns to work at the theatre and asks Vil to 'throw down', saying they're the same now (Rook had at some point told Vil Epel had overheard them), Vil just starts lecturing him. Calling him 'immature and thoughtless' for making a decision like that without thinking through all the long-term consequences.
Ironically, it only makes Vil DOUBLE DOWN on being Epel's mentor. Partially because he feels some responsibility for what Epel did.
When Vil explains everything about being a vampire to him, the thing he's the most upset about is knowing his body will never be able to change now and he's stuck looking like this for the rest of time. The part about outliving all his mortal friends and family he becomes upset about later— he's still very new to the whole vampire thing and it hasn't really come up in a way that makes him emotionally understand just what it means yet

1... The opening scene was... intense... how do you think it impacted MC? Eli? Their relationship? Would it change the way any others view him? (If this is not your first playthrough... try to remember what you thought the first time.)
Ok, though I've made up my mind to not romance Eli in this playthrough (cough), still I just couldn't pick the option to follow rule no 3. Either way, LI or not, Eli's reaction would be pretty much like in canon, frustrated with himself, pushing away the others and still MC would try to get through to him and convince him that it was her choice and everything's "fine". As a LI though, his reaction is reasonably way more intence (let's pretend that's the case cause there's no difference or any significant difference that I was aware of) cause he tried to harm the only person that he let his guard down for after all these years being on his own and after the MC risked her life to get him the "cure" needed.
2... There is much talk about trusting the other groups, particularly the Raiders. Do you/does your MC think they will be loyal, or that they will betray you? 4... Tell us about your alliance meeting. What choices did you make? What were your takeaways? 5... Let's talk about Dirk... I'm not limiting the conversation, just share your thoughts on him in this chapter.
MC trusts the Raiders. She doesn't approve of their ways obviously but she understands that in the twisted way the whole Raiders' "structure" works, she proved herself worthy and is now concidered one of them. They would honor the alliance. Could only benefit them, nothing really to lose. They will be loyal to MC cause they always look after and take care of their own.
The alliance meeting went well, though I might have favored the Builders over the people of Ironmount. I don't know if anyone else got this, but Aliyah's mention during the talks about MC giving Trent to the people and killed is... WOW! Literally, wasn't expecting that! I know I picked the option where MC acts in a "I give him to his subjects and I wash my hands of it all" sort of way, but nevertheless!
I always pick the choices where MC is sympathetic and talks nice to Dirk. He's acting once again like a prick. Could it be out of pure despise? MC out of nowhere is concidered by everyone to be the leader of the colony. He probably would concider himself a better leader because of age and fighting experience. I'm not the only one thinking Dirk had feelings for Brynn, am I? PB wouldn't do us the honor to mention it anywhere and just let it hanging!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He's hurt and grieving but this was a low blow!
3... Each of the LIs... whether you romance none, one, or more than one... tend to bring out something in MC, be it through their friendship or more. How do you think each of the LIs (which now includes Sledge) help make MC better? Do any make him/her worse? 6... The dirty 30's! OK you had a choice of up to five of them... did you take them all - either as platonic or romantic routes? If you've been waiting on this with a particular LI... did your MC walk away content? Any regrets? How did these scenes - romantic or not - change your MCs relationship with the other character(s)?
Till this playthrough Eli was my one and only LI. This time, it felt kind of too predictable (have already spent to my previous playthroughs too many 💎) and decided to switch to Troy! I'll be honest, there isn't any angst, not in the slightest! It's a nice change of pace though to have someone who cares about MC's feelings and thoughts and not MC caring about how everyone else is feeling.

And answering to the question whether my MC walked away content after all the wait...

Discussion questions:
Warning: This may be my favorite chapter of the book. Things are about to go feral...
1... The opening scene was... intense... how do you think it impacted MC? Eli? Their relationship? Would it change the way any others view him?

Normally I'd ask for predictions, but since most of us are re-reading, let's limit that to our newbies. For the rest, share any other thoughts on this chapter.
@oh-so-youre-a-nerd @annoyingmillenialnewbie @missameliep @dutifullynuttywitch @tessa-liam @jerzwriter @aallotarenunelma AGAIN - if you'd like to be added or removed, please let me know!
Chapter 14 will be posted later today or tomorrow!

"You can't expect me to stop worrying about you if you keep getting yourself into dangerous situations..",beloved said whilst she cleans the blood off Terry's knuckles in the pale moonlit night. His reaction in different eras..
Thank you!
― I don't think Twig received too much care in the classical sense. Well, not counting the type of care you get in extreme, highly traumatic situations that involves someone saving him from literal death like John did multiple times in Vietnam, lets say. I think Twig would've been starved for commonplace, day-to-day, ordinary tenderness, attention, someone fussing him, taking note of his injuries (or even just taking note of him in general) without mocking him for sustaining them and...beloved patching him up feels like a wonderful something he undoubtedly hasn't really experienced in abundance, if at all. Them saying they're worried for him and that he needs to stop putting himself in danger? That too feels good. Too good. Twig could imagine himself living off of those words alone and rushing to tell John all about them at once. He almost wants to disregard everything beloved just uttered and put himself in harm's way on purpose now, purely if it mean that beloved could fluff him like this always. Maybe he should get battered and bruised up deliberately even more next time? Maybe give himself a few tactically manipulative injures and come to beloved like a wounded, lost, whining puppy, even though his goal is contradictively enough, to get stronger and appear more in charge? Maybe he is still in charge by pulling the strings here? Yes, yes, maybe he is. Maybe beloved's attentions cannot go anywhere else if he usurps every vestige of it all. Oh, but it is so tempting to bat his eyes and harvest their love and concern, all of it. Sounds like a plan.
― 80's Terry Silver doesn't think he was putting himself in dangerous situations, regardless of what beloved feels. Terry Silver in this era knows and is convinced he is the dangerous situation. However or whatever he confronts is the one in danger, and he's the it factor they should fear, baby, whether they realize it initially or not! If Terry's fist is bloodied, you should really see the state of the other guy or guys. He isn't someone you want to meet in a dark alleyway at night, at a crowded club, on a seedy street, or really anywhere, because Terry in the 80's, in his very physical prime, is a force to be reckoned with, and at first, his opponents might not even realize how deadly he really is. Heck! He might manipulate a group of people to fight each other without dirtying his hands one bit, but if his own fists got bloodied...then that other individual is undoubtedly in a far worse shape. What Terry is fascinated by is the blood and beloved cleaning it off for him and showing him their worry. He chuckles. How sweet. His cockiness and teasing conceals very conflicted emotions, though, because Terry Silver isn't really treated like a gentle someone and he hasn't been...in a while --- perhaps in some other life he scarcely remembers to the point it doesn't even feel his anymore. He is almost perplexed at how foreign, alien and tantalizing it feels. He fantasizes about ramming his fist into a nearby wall so it would bleed even more, garnering beloved's shock and horror which he can seep up. He doesn't. He allows beloved to finish as he watches them with unblinking, hyperintense eyes.
― What old man Terry loves is that he can come to beloved with wounds. That he can be open. Honest. Slip that damn mask off because he trusts them enough to see him like this and clean him up. That he can show them the fallout of violence and all it brings and all he is. That there's this mutual loyalty and understanding. Sense of...ritualized refuge delivered through the act of cleaning up a scratch, I daresay? Even a snake goes home somewhere when it is done hunting on the prowl and the snake that is Terry returns here. He loves that beloved worries. That they're concerned. He enjoys it to almost inappropriate degrees that very much serve to turn him on. Old man Terry loves having someone who he doesn't have to share with anybody (especially after the fallout with John --- but my goodness, in general as well) and who is entirely his and entirely and primarily loyal to him and his needs, even if that need is what he considers a very mediocre flesh wound he wouldn't have even noticed otherwise. Then again, if Twig would've been prone to get himself hurt on purpose so beloved could care for him, old man Terry might just occasionally play up his age and vulnerability as someone senior so beloved could worry for him as well, notwithstanding that even now, Terry's stronger and tougher than most young people --- or really even all young people. Oh, but cunning Machiavellian that he is, he might just give beloved an oddly tender stare as he lies 'My joints aren't what they used to be.' Only to follow up those lines with a wolfish, toothy grin.

Hey, hope you’re having a lovely day!! I was wondering if I could request headcanons (or any other format that’s easier to write) where the reader is c!dream’s adopted daughter and how the reader’s relationship with the others would be like considering they’re the daughter of a bad person. Especially if the reader is genuinely trying to be a good person. Sorry if this is a weird request!!
Okay, this is actually the most fun I've had writing one of these in a while! Since the character limit is 6, though, I'll be choosing 6 characters who I think would have the most interesting reactions
*While I usually do alphabetical order, we’re doing the order in which they found out (for coherency sake)
c!Alivebur, c!Puffy, c!Ranboo, c!Sam, c!Sapnap, and c!Tommy Meeting Dream’s Adopted Daughter
c!Sam
He's the one who found out first
Among Dream’s various books and stories he’s written, one was a letter to you (Dream knew you’d never read it, but writing it made him feel better)
He told the other guards of the prison, no one else, so he’s not sure how it spread through the SMP, but he only told them so that they could keep an eye on you
He didn’t think you would try to break your father out or anything, but under the odd circumstance that you did, he’d want you on file and eyes to be on you already
It really is just a precautionary measure
As more and more of the server find out about it, he can’t help but to feel guilty
Sticks around you for a bit and offers to help whenever he can
c! Tommy
As soon as he finds out, he gets incredibly nervous around you
He heard that you were his birth daughter, but, even though that wasn't the case, he wouldn't treat you any better if he found out the truth
He talks about you with anger and frustration, using you as an outlet for the abuse he faced at the hands of your father
Whenever he sees you, though he backs away, his eyes widening
His brain makes up a bunch if scenarios about you harming him, terrified that you'll do the same thing to him
He, generally, tries to avoid you and anyone you associate with
Refuses to let Tubbo go anywhere near you
Tells Wilbur about it all during a stress induced rant
c!Alivebur
When Tommy told him, he got excited
Even though he’s never really cared much for you, being indifferent more than anything, he’s almost offended that you never told him
The next time he sees you, he acts like you’re literal royalty
After all, you’re the darling daughter of the man who brought him back to life! The man who gave him purpose
Goes to talk to you immediately
Wants to know absolutely everything about you and Dream
He tries to get you to join him and Ranboo in the hamburger van
Doesn't really realize if he's making you uncomfortable about it
If he does and you tell him you are, he'll be genuinely confused
Dream is so amazing, why is it so bad that you're his daughter?
c!Ranboo
When Alivebur told them, they actually took it incredibly well compared to some of the other people
While they froze for a second, their mind racing, they soon realized that you weren't your father, and you shouldn't be treated like such
They didn't even know their own parents, so why should they base your character off of who yours are?
Sure, Dream was a bad person and pitted them against their friends, stringing them up like a puppet, but you didn't
They don't try to find you to talk about it or even ask the next time they see you
They just leave you be
Does let it slip to Techno, Phil, and Niki during the latest Syndicate meeting
c!Puffy
Considering she doesn’t even know if you’re aware of the rumor being spread around the SMP, she’s seeks you out to tell you
She gives you a quick rundown of who all she knows that knows about it and asks for the facts of the matter
Various different iterations of the story had been passed around, so she want to get the facts from you
And, technically, since she's been Dream’s parental figure for many years, you're her granddaughter
She offers to let you move in with her and call her 'Grandpa Puff'
If you decline, she requests weekly meet ups with you to go get lunch or something similar so that she can bond with you and make sure you're doing alright
You may not have your father around anymore, but she doesn't want you to be completely alone, especially at such a stressful time
c!Sapnap
Uh... What?
He had known Dream for years, even going back to their childhoods, and yet he’s never heard anything about you
While he was one of the last people to find out, he was actually one of the first people to actually go to you about it
He wanted to know if it was true
He tries to be very delicate when asking you about everything, though he most likely fumbles through it
If you're a minor, he awkwardly asks if you want to move in with him in the Kinoko Kingdom so he could properly act as an uncle figure to you
If you decline, he'll give you a quick "you know where to find me if you need anything"
If you accept, he'll allow you to move in with him and his fiance, acting a bit more on the uncomfortable side for, at least, the first few weeks

New Beginnings
Will halstead x nurse!reader
Summary: you find out your pregnant surprising you and Will.
Tumblr media
a/n: i literally can't stop crushing on fictional characters. This is based on the episode where April is pushed by that one guy but this happens to the reader, so yeah. Also slight inspiration from the office when Jim and Pam find out they are expecting. Hope you enjoy it! also I want to make a part two but I'm not sure lol :)
You and Will being together was a bet everyone was a part of these days. You two just had something, but you two being so oblivious had no idea. You were a great team in the ed, knowing all of his moves, and treatment plans. You were his secondhand and he couldn't be more grateful. He of course started to grow feelings for you quite fast. He just couldn't handle how smart you were and of course beautiful.
“She likes you too,” Maggie said as Will frowned, “what?” he asked as she giggled, “you know what i'm talkin about. Everyone sees how you look at her, just ask her out.” she said as he shook his head, “oh no, i'm not doing that. You don't even know if she does like me.” he said as Maggie laughed, “aha so you do like her! Finally took me months to get it out of you,”  She said as Will tried to hide his smile as he nodded “okay yeah, fine i do like her, but we are colleagues, it wouldn't work out.” he said as Maggie shrugged, “you never know if you don't try.” she said walking away and leaving him alone with his thoughts.
There were moments where you two would join forces and figure out what was going on with patients. It almost looked like there were two doctors, you had a lot of knowledge in your head, sometimes you even forgot you were just a nurse.
“How do you know all this? You're smarter than me.” he said as you giggled “i just read a lot, Will, also not to brag but i was at the the top of my class. They were even surprised when it told them i would be a nurse, said i would excel in surgery.'' you said as he smiled, “well you would. Me and you make a pretty great team.” he said as you giggled getting back to your diagnosis.
These feelings he had for you of course had developed in you as well. You probably felt something for him the first time Maggie introduced you to him. You were slightly nervous, which was so obvious to Maggie. April was also in on it too, wanting you to just tell him what you were feeling.
“You know your crushes are better than the tv drama I am watching.” April said as you frowned looking at her, “what?” you asked as she giggled, “don’t play dumb with me, you like Will.” she said as you shook your head and began to blush, “no i don't, we are just friends.” you said as she shrugged, “if you say so, but i see the way he looks at you. He always chooses you to help him with patients.” she said as you sighed, “that's not true, i help Ethan too, and corner. I alternate all the time.” you said as she pulled out a tally of the times he asked you to help.
“Explain this, you can't say it's nothing because it's dated too,” she said as you laughed looking at her as if she was serious, “April, are you a nurse or a stalker.” you said as she laughed, “I'm serious, you should just tell him how you feel. He likes you back and I know it.” she said as you looked at her, “how do you know?” you said as she shook her head, “not saying, just do it.'' she said as Ethan called her over as you were left with all the tools in hand.
Months later Will had asked you out and you said yes of course. One date had turned into two, and well you were now 1 year into your relationship. Of course Maggie and April had no idea of this. You were surprisingly very secretive. They had no idea about you, nor did they suspect anything. You two did your own thing in the hospital and once you got to your apartment your hands were on one another after a day of no touching.
Once you enter your apartment, his hands were all over you as he brought you lips onto his. You smiled as you placed your hands on his hair, missing how soft it was. He missed your touch, he was so deprived. You were the only thing that kept him alive as he would like to say. Barely making it to the kitchen he placed you on the kitchen counter as you legs were on his waist as he took your shirt off and kissed you some more. He knew all your soft spots. His touch made you feel safe, no matter what. You took his shirt off as he kissed you some more as he took you to the shower, where you two caught up with the eachothers touch that you couldn't feel when working, not even a hug or kiss.
As you walked into the ed alone, Maggie had looked at you weirdly, you looked over at her and touched your face, “what is something on my face?” you asked as she shook her head, “no, you just look a little pale, you okay?” She asked as you nodded, “I feel fine, I was a little nause this morning, but I'm okay.” you said as she nodded “okay, you sure?” she asked as you nodded. You headed over to patients making sure they were all okay and stable and had everything they needed.
Just then two guys walking in caught your attention and Will’s as well, “y/n you busy?” he asked as you headed over, “I'm with you.'' you said as you were putting gloves on to see blood on the guy as you headed to treatment three.
“Alright fellas, im dr. halstead, follow me.” he said as the guy spoke, “don’t need this.” he said very slurred as the friend answered, “hey, just let him take a look.” he said as you turned around motioning him in, “im fine,” he said as you spoke, “alright come on, let's get you on this bed.” you said as he replied, “no, no, just wanna go home.” he said as he sat on the bed, “okay what happened,” Will asked as the friend answered, “we went out to party after the game, and he sees these cards fans..” he said as the guy on the bed answered, “douchebags wearing a ‘cubs suck’ shirt. Yet we won. How could we suck douchebag?” he said getting up from the bed as you placed him back, “sir sit down.'' you said as he was back on the bed and got up again, “stay on the bed.'' you said as he turned to you, “let me go!” he said as he pushed you to the side as you hit the door on your abdomen, Will quickly gave orders to the friend and to security, and was quick by your side, “you alright y/n?” He said seeing your face for any expression as all you could do was nod and bring air back into your lungs.
“Give him five of haldol.” he said as he picked you up and took you two treatment 2 so he made sure you were all fine.
“Your lungs are fine,” he said as you sighed, “okay, can i get back to work?” you said as Miss Goodwin, Maggie and April were there just to be sure you were fine, “just hold on.” Miss Goodwin said as he was examining you some more.
“Will, I'm fine.'' you said as he pushed around your abdomen, “does it hurt here?” he said as you flinched, “ow,” you said as he smiled,  “okay on a scale from one to ten how bad was the pain?” he asked as you spoke softly, “three?” You said as April spoke, “That means it's  seven or eight.” She said as you rolled your eyes, “I'm fine, really.”
“You're probably okay, but i would like to get a chest x-ray to be safe.” he said as you shook your head, “no way.'' you said as he became serious, “y/n, you have some pain and tenderness. A broken rib could have punctured your liver or your lung, I want to make sure you don't have a pneumothorax.'' he said as you scoffed looking over at the girls, “y/n, we don't want to see you wheeled back here in a gurney.'' Maggie said as you spoke, “guys I'm fine, you are all over acting a bit.'' you said they all eventually convinced you to do it along with some tests of course to rule out everything else that could be bad.
With your x-ray, nothing bad was seen, but Will being very cautious placed the tests in order as he waited with you. Luckly the curtain covered you two so he laid on the bed nearby, he was very worried you could tell, “Will...honey, I'm okay. The x-ray showed nothing, so it's probably nothing.” you said as he nodded “well if it's nothing, there is no harm in doing tests. I just want you to be okay.” he said as his voice grew shaky, “Will I’m not going anywhere okay? I'm here. I'm healthy.” you said as he nodded. “Yeah I know.” he said as you wiped his tears away and kissed him, “i'm here for the long haul.” you said as he smiled.
Minutes later, Natalie was back with your tests along with ob, “hey y/n, so your tests look well, nothing is wrong, however we do have some good news for you.'' she said as you frowned, “okay, why is ob with you?” you said as natalie looked at you with a smile, “well that's the good news, you are 5 weeks pregnant. Congratulations,” she said as you grew shocked, eyes widened as you smiled, “woah, really? I- um, i don't know what to say.'' you said as she smiled, “well i'm hopeful this is good news, did you want to call the father? she asked as you looked over at Will who was shocked as well.
“Uh well, actually he is in this room, he's just shocked as i am.'' you said as natalie gasped along with the ob. You weren’t sure if Will wanted kids this early in your relationship, so this was a surprise to the both of you. He then began to worry wondering if the hit you took hurt you more than it should.
“Is she okay? Are they okay? It's just they both took a hit, she got pushed and hurt her abdomen.” Will said as Natalie nodded, “well that's what we are hoping to see. There is nothing that indicates, but we wanna do an ultrasound to be sure,” she said as you both nodded.
As they showed you your small creation you were both in awe, Will was probably more excited seeing that you were pregnant. And of course now your relationship was public.
“Everything is fine, the fetus is well, and the placenta seems to be great. I'm so happy for you guys! We will give you guys some space, congratulations again!” she said as her and the ob left giving you time to process this.
Will sat beside you as he placed his hands on his face and gave your knuckles a kiss. He was filled with joy. You were having a baby, his baby.
“You okay Will?” you asked as he nodded, “yeah, i'm just, i'm gonna be a dad.” he said softly as you nodded, “yeah you are, sorry i worried you.'' you said as he shook his head, “no, the good thing is that you are both fine. y/n, you have no idea how happy i am.'' you said as you smiled as you placed his hand on your belly that would soon blossom.
“I'm happy, over the moon to be exact. I just, when she said that i worried, since maybe it's too soon.'' you said as he shook his head, “no, it's not too soon. This is our timing. Might be in the wrong order, but don't worry, I'll put that ring on your finger soon.'' you said as you blushed playfully slapping him, “im serious honey, before you know it you'll be Y/n Halstead.'' you said as you smiled, “does have a nice ring to it.'' you said as you kissed him and from afar, Maggie and the others were all happy. Maggie, being the winner of the bet, had been collecting her money. She knew it the whole time. There was no doubt you two were in love. So in love that you were starting a new life with one another. It was meant to be.

Went into the first half before when talking about the indifference to death. But the second half reminded me of another theory/head canon (also I just wanna talk about Doll and Uzi for a lil bit)
it doesn't have as much solid evidence for it, a lot of it could just be circumstantial. But, this is a post about rambling, so let's ramble about how a side of effect of solver infection may make drones more irritable and violent.
a cut for scrolling convenience-
Let's start with patient zero, CYN. As the solver's first and main host it's really hard to tell how much of her behavior is "CYN" and how much is the Absolute Solver. Hell, it's hard to tell if the two have ever been separate entities. The solver has displayed incredible acts of violence against humans and drones alike. I mean Earth's been cracked open like an egg, humans are extinct as far as we know, and now its trying to repeat the process on Copper 9.
Next is Nori and Yeva. Yeva is a woman of few scenes and even fewer words. We've only ever seen her attack Nori and that was while she was possessed. There's not much we can really conclude with her. Then there's Nori. We see a bit more of her, but still can only conclude so much. She is definitely a grumpy little spider when interacting with N and is willing to get rough with and threaten him. However, N is also a disassembly drone, one of CYN's "murder pets" the same creature that killed her and countless other drones. So that kind of behavior is reasonable enough. We also see her fight her own daughter, but again this is while Uzi's possessed by the solver.
Let's go with Uzi next. She's undoubtedly quick to anger and been violent towards her peers in the past. Pointing her railgun at her class to prove it works, throwing books, slamming heads into desks, going out of her way to kill a murder drone. There's only a few moments though where these acts of violence aren't retaliatory or caused by the solver taking full control. As for the rage, this could also be explained by being related to Khan and Nori, both of which have shown some slight anger issues. (Irritability is also a symptom of depression, especially in younger people, but that's a whole other conversation)
Doll on the other hand has done a lot of barely justified violence. Of all the worker drones we've seen infected with the solver, she's probably the best evidence of this theory. There's her revenge scheme against V of course, but that's a murder drone, any worker drone could justify killing the thing that hunts them like rabbits. But then there's the worker drone murders. On one hand, she does need oil to not overheat and how needs to set up her prom scheme. But does she really need to, though?
Why set up this elaborate trap that sacrifices the lives of so many other workers just to kill a single murder drone. Lizzy's in on the scheme, befriending V to lure inside. But couldn't Lizzy just as easily lured V to literally anywhere else under the pretense of a hang-out session? Where she and Doll could have set up a similar trap and attacked her. Sure, doing it at prom provides a distraction and false sense of security, but that doesn't justify killing the entire prom court to set it up; it especially doesn't justify killing random drones in the crowd after V's already trapped. It's all very grandiose and bloody. Kinda like CYN at the gala.
The 3071 outpost 3 prom and Elliot manor gala. Both are large celebrations used as a stage for killing. Like Doll, CYN didn't have to wait till the Elliot's threw a big rich people party to begin the quest for world domination and consumption. Yet it chooses to start its conquest with a giant banquet of human flesh. In addition, Doll and CYN are both seen putting loved ones out of harms way before the bloodshed starts. Rather than killing Lizzy, Doll tosses her away from V into the bleachers. (A choice which gives Lizzy the opportunity to assist N and V, leading to Doll getting shot by V) Rather than let Tessa, N, and J run loose in the manor. CYN makes a point to agitate Louisa Elliot to the point of them all being punished. Maybe it's just the confidence of knowing what's about to happen, but it also places Tessa and J in Tessa's room and N outside. Out of the way of the massacre.
It's hard to find a justification for Doll's killings. Humans don't really question someone enacting revenge in a situation like hers. But that would only explain a vendetta against V and other disassembly drones, not random workers. But if the solver leads drones to being more irritable and "blood" thirsty it could explain some of her choices. It doesn't matter if there's a way to do without killing innocents if you don't care about whether they live or die.
Trouble is, how do we know if this is a side effect of solver infection and not just in these particular drones' nature? We don't really see these drones pre-infection. So, there's no solid evidence that they wouldn't still act this way if the solver wasn't in their systems. The only drones we do see pre-infection is N, V, and J.
So do they act more agitated and violent after being infec- Ok, we're all thinking of V now. She definitely has the most obvious personality change when going from worker to disassembler. The difference is night and day, really, going from seemingly shy and reserved to feeding drones their own entrails.
J is J, she acts about the same around N and Tessa. As a worker drone, she probably wasn't doing any killing, but it's hard to say if worker J wouldn't be willing to try and murder someone if Tessa asked her to. She likely wouldn't attack James and Louisa as she shows in Home to follow their orders over Tessa's. But if Tessa asked her to, and it wouldn't interfere with an order or rule from "corporate" (or, if one of the Elliot parents order her to kill) would she do it? Personally, I don't think she would, but it's hard to say for certain. Meanwhile, disassembly J is all for destroying corrupted toasters for the company under (to her knowledge) orders from Tessa.
Then there's N. He also appears to retain most of his pre-infection personality, the same way J does. But there are still instances where the violent murder drone side comes through. Mostly when in X visor murder mode. But there's also his little moment when explaining why they drink oil to Uzi, and when starts shooting at a baby (in all fairness, Beau was being a creepy little horror movie creature in that moment, but still. Very little hesitation)
The problem with trying to compare the disassembly drones to the solver infected workers is their behavior could just as easily be a result of being a disassembly drone. Are they like this because they have a form of the solver in their systems, or did CYN make them like this by turning them into murder machines?
I haven't sold myself on the idea as easily as I do with the first head canon, but it could explain some things about the solver drones and sky demons.
(Especially Doll. Seriously, why are you like this? Twisted the head of, then crushed a girl and exploded a random drone for literally no reason after trapping V)
I can't recall if I ever went on a ramble about a MD head canon I have (I feel like I have, but maybe I've just thought about it so often that I've convinced myself I've made a post about it. Either way, let us endulge in the fixation)
it's about the worker drones' simultaneous crippling fear of the disassembly drones and general indifference to death.
Here's a cut because this ended up way longer than I thought it would-
Just about every worker drone is terrified of the murder drones (reasonably so, as they can peel one of them open like a mechanical orange) and yet in spite of this, they show a blatant disregard for safety once the sky demons are out of sight.
First two times we see something like this happen is when Khan lets Uzi go outside at night to "look at the door hydraulics" and later when the WDF guard corrects N on the name gin rummy instead of running for his life. Now, maybe Khan was too excited about Uzi showing an interest in doors to think about the potential danger, and maybe worker drones are big dumb dumbs most of the time.
But then you have situations like in the promening and cabin fever where groups of drones will initially show fear before quickly relaxing around the murder machines. They go from shaking in fear after watching one of their classmates being shot to offering friendship and poking one of them in the face in mere minutes.
So, why do they go from terrified to unbothered so fast.
Well, we know the drones on Copper 9 were mostly used for mining, a dangerous job that can have deadly accidents even when human safety standards are in place. So, JCJenson has to program these drones to dig up the ore, carry it to the surface, process it, et cetera. Building and repairing robots costs money, so ideally you'd want to minimize them getting damaged in the most cost-effective way possible. Safety measures decrease production and safety equipment costs money, so what are they to do?
My head canon/theory is that they programmed the drones to avoid situations that will damage themselves. Something to stop them from walking into pits and sticking their heads between moving gears. So if a drone sees another drone get broken by something, they're programmed to avoid the thing that lead to their buddy getting killed. See another drone get crushed by a rock? Avoid loose boulders. See another drone fall into a smelter? Avoid moving along the edge of the catwalk. And so on and so forth.
But you don't want them to be too careful. After all, if you program them with too much anxiety they'll be too scared to work, which will decrease production. So they also programmed them to proceed if they see that there's no immediate danger. Sure, three drones fell into a sinkhole in this area last month, but Steve's standing over there and not falling into the ground, so it must be safe. With this, also comes an explanation for their indifference to death, even when it happens to friends or family. If a drone grieves losing a coworker, then they won't work as well. So once the initial fear of seeing another being breaking passes, they move on and get back to setting off explosions (standing a few extra feet away this time).
Going back to the scenes from The Prommening and Cabin Fever-
The crowd is initially scared of V when she drops in. But when Lizzy explains that they're friends and insists that they "forgive and forget" they go right to clapping and cheering. As soon as the known threat proves to be safe, the fear switches off.
Cabin Fever is an even better example. They've all just watched V shoot another drone. N acts very friendly, but they remain afraid. That is, until Lizzy and Thad move to stand next to the two murder drones. They see the two not die by doing this, and immediately the entire group relaxes and are soon treating N and V as though they're just your run-of-the-mill drone. The worker teens only show fear again when they do something that could threaten them. Such as at the archery range when V points the bow at them.
They show similar behavior around Uzi that episode as well. When ever her presence is brought to their attention, there's visible fear. This makes sense with her past behavior in mind. Railgun exploding in class, taking over classmate's sentience, general violence. She's proven to be a potential danger, and so they're afraid when first seeing her. When she doesn't immediately do anything to harm another drone, they soon calm down to the point that they forget she even exists. She makes herself known when the bus arrives at camp Fear till their attention is drawn to the teacher and then the murder drones She shows up at the archery range and arrow into a flesh beast Fear until she runs away, name then forgotten She rips a drone's head off and pauses for dramatic effect In those few seconds of not killing her, Lizzy switches from afraid to criticizing her
It's like once the "threat" is resolved, their brains determine she isn't worth focusing on to the point of the drones forgetting her name. (In particular, Lizzy is really unbothered by almost getting killed in that episode. Possibly because she's been spending time with V? A sort of desensitization)
After all, if another drone isn't a danger, and they aren't working alongside them (not in the same mining team, not in the same clique) it isn't worth it to have info on them and tosses it to the recycling bin.
We see the solver drones and disassembly drones break this line of behavior. Along with Khan, Thad, and Lizzy to an extent. (Which, in all fairness, could just be main character privileges)
Khan of course shows to still care about Nori's death years after the fact, as well as concern about Uzi leaving at the end of the pilot. I think it's worth noting how the other WDF members in episode 2 react to him prioritizing Uzi over building a door. Calling the idea "cringe" and displaying general annoyance and sickness at the idea. Is it just because it's Khan and Uzi, or do drones just see anyone putting family over work as strange?
Thad isn't afraid of Uzi and doesn't have a negative view of her like the other teenage drones. Has he not witnessed her "shenanigans" or is he just braver and kinder than most drones? He isn't afraid of N in episode 2, but, as he says himself, N helped save his life. He also shows some concern for other drones dying when he mentions the disappearances to Uzi in Heartbeat.
Lizzy has also shown to be braver than most drones. Little fear around Uzi, was able to hang around with V long enough to set up the prom scheme, helped Doll set up said prom scheme despite Doll doing a bunch of murdering, willingness to just walk up to J and trying to punch her. Her being around V and Doll would suggest she doesn't have the same concern about other drones dying the way Thad does. But that could just be her putting up a front. Perhaps we'll get to see a little more in episode 8.
Hope anyone who read through all this found at least some enjoyment in doing so. I thought this would be, like, 3 short paragraphs tops, but now there's a little over 1200 words.
