#now that im thinking about it there was still so much to resolve and figure out from last arc

[netsuijae]

I would love to see what your hypothetical Kanade crash out would look like ngl (you don't need to draw for this if you don't want to a text explanation would still be awesome)

ok soooo this isn't exactly the crashout but rather building up to it i guess :P

the rest of this post is gonna be rambling and predictions ⬇️

alright this ask enabled me, im gonna just dump all my thoughts as of now on what's to come for kanade's story :) i could end up being completely wrong, but hey im just theorizing and having fun here while i wait very impatiently lol

To start, I don't think kana5 will be on the scale of mizu5 (i mean i might be biased but idk if anything will come close to that level of insanity again), mainly because there hasn't been as much build-up to a breaking point. Kanade's issues have been pushed aside (by herself especially) and not heavily focused on up to this point in the story. There hasn't been any increasing tension for things to reach a climax yet. Having her big break be in this next event would be too sudden and sort of unprecedented. For this event at least, I highly doubt that'll be the case. Instead, I think this event will start to touch on Kanade's buried issues more, and begin building that tension for something bigger. I can see this being a multiple event arc, similar to the events leading up to the climax of Mafuyu's story. Summarizing that, yes I think Kanade's got some real tough shit ahead of her, but that's why this won't be a one-off event story. I think it'll just be the beginning.

That being said, to touch more on my predictions for kana5 itself, I think Kanade will start to slip, and the others, Mafuyu especially, will take notice. I can't really predict anything specific, but I think something will happen that will make her question her ability to save people, or cause her to be harder on herself, as she has in the past, to keep composing persistently, neglecting her own needs and health. However, things are different now than they were before niigo. She has more people around her that will be able to see the damage she's doing to herself. But she also knows they all look up to her, and that her music lifts them up. She knows they all have a lot they're dealing with, and she needs to be there for them. She can't let them down.

Then, when Kanade pushes herself past her limits at the cost of her well-being, what will she do then? She meets with the others on nightcord every night, and Mafuyu is living at her place. She won't be able to rot away by herself anymore without people noticing. But she still feels this need to be the group's rock and to be the one to save everyone, so she'll try her damn hardest to prevent the others from worrying about her. She'll shoot down their attempts at trying to talk about it. I think she might be especially stubborn this time around, and it might cause niigo to have to figure out a way to help Kanade, since they won't be able to get through to her at first.

Kanade has shown in the past to get uncharacteristically aggressive when she's pushing herself too hard, as shown above. She starts to take on everything herself, and snaps at anyone who tries to stop her. I think this side of her will be shown more going forward, as she begins to go down this kind of self-destructive path yet again. At least, that's where I think her story will go. Her tendency to work herself to the bone hasn't really been resolved, and she's gone so far with it before to end up in the hospital after passing out. She doesn't care what happens to her, as long as she can save people. The only reason she has ((slightly)) gotten better at taking care of herself is so that she can be able to keep composing without ending up in the hospital again. Not because she cares about her health. Because she must keep composing. She still only does the bare minimum for herself. If it's her cooking, she's only having instant ramen, and most days she's probably not going to see the sun. She still doesn't sleep much, and Mafuyu has said that she's often falling asleep at her computer.

This might be getting a little rambley atp, but my point is that Kanade neglects her own needs in her determination to save others. I mentioned how she neglects her physical health in the last paragraph, but she also neglects her own feelings as well.

She minimizes her own problems or just doesn't even talk about them. I think she truly believes that her problems don't matter, that they only distract her from her goals. The reason she doesn't open up is likely because she herself doesn't believe her feelings are important at all. She doesn't pay them any mind, and she doesn't want anyone else to either.

Of course, I have to bring this card up. I think this is just a perfect visual representation of Kanade's feelings, and it's great foreshadowing for what's to come. Those feelings are buried deep within Kanade, yet to be addressed or solved. THIS is what we're getting into. Kanade, depicted as an angel, surrounded by death. I think this is related to her guilt surrounding what happened to her father, believing it was her fault. That she destroyed everything. But because of that incident, she told herself she has to keep composing, and never stop, in order to save people. She feels like she owes that much, and that that's her sole purpose. She won't allow herself to think otherwise. No matter how much it destroys her, she must be a savior for others.

Last thing I wanted to add, because I saw this reblog under a prev kanade analysis post, and they brought up great points. Especially how dangerous Kanade's composing grind can get. We wouldn't even have a story if Honami hadn't found Kanade unconscious!!! I think she might get to a really low point again like this, but having Mafuyu there especially, it won't be able to go unnoticed. I don't have much else to add to those tags though cus they speak for themselves 🙏

Finally, just real quickly going back to the little comic I drew, this is just a rough idea of how I think Kanade could act. She'll get noticeably worse, but will try to hide that fact from the others and deny any help from them. I also mentioned that I think we could see more aggression from her again, so I included that, as she feels threatened in a way by Mafuyu worrying about her. She can't let that happen. Also, Kanade's impending doom aside, I think this progression in the story may also spark some change in Mafuyu. She might show some more emotion in this or future events, and she may realize how much Kanade means to her, motivating her to do more for her. I think it'll be a full group effort to save Kanade, but I wanna see Mafuyu taking a bigger role in this. I just think this also has the potential to grow Mafuyu's character more.

Also, as for the Kanade crashout, I really don't know how they'll handle that. I can't really predict what they're gonna do with her climax. But I want her screaming yelling and crying !!! like she better go insaneeee 🙏 and I also feel like they have a lot of potential with her seiyuu/VA and stepping out of the soft quiet voice to do some crazy shit, maybe in the songs too pls pls pls give us loud kanadeeee

OKAY THATS ENOUGH YAPPING its 5 am i havent slept....

older rory pt2 

rory peters x fem reader (obv). this is basically a part 2 to this post so if you want to have an idea on how to imagine rory go to that one. lol srry this is more self indulgent to me i love older men and im so obsessed with jonathan cherry atm like yes tear me up old man

also cw: oral sex, age gap

you wake up the next morning in a bed that isn’t yours. you gather your senses and realize who’s house you’re in— it’s rory’s. you think back to last nights events, how his mouth felt against yours, skilled hands roaming all over you, the way his larger body felt like it was consuming you whole.. how you wanted to go farther but he said not yet. 

he let you spend the night because it was late so he gave you a shirt of his to sleep in. you two slept together in the same bed but he turned away from you to be respectful, but you really wish he touched you that night. 

as pull the the cover off your body and pad through the hallway, you see rory sitting down in his living room. he makes eye contact with your figure and begins to greet you. 

“oh, hey babe, how was your sleep? i made breakfast for you.” rory says in a cheerful tone. but god all you can think about how good he looks right now. he’s wearing a plain black tshirt, but you can see the slight peek of chest hair creeping from under the hem. it makes your mouth water.

you’re not hungry for food at all. you walk over to him and you go to stand in front of him, and right as your about to sit right on his lap, he stops you. 

“look, baby, we can’t do this. i know i got caught up in the moment last night.. but i’m so much older than you, it would be wrong.” rory says with a solemn look on his face, stressfully pushing his hair away. he then stands up, now towering over you. he takes his right hand and cups your face while softly rubbing the apple of your cheek. 

“even if you are so fucking beautiful.” he states and stares with the hottest intensity in his eyes. and it makes you whimper so loudly at his words. 

“please...” you’re so soaked right now you can barely even comprehend what you're saying please to. 

“please what, baby?”

“please-! touch me, fuck me. something!! i don’t care about your age. if anything it just makes me want you more!!” you moan out and you know you’ve ruined your underwear. you’re heaving and out of breath simply from the proximity and his warm strong hand still caressing your face. 

rory says nothing when his resolve breaks, but the fiery kisses he begins to place on your needy mouth speaks for itself. you kiss him back immediately, pushing your body against his, trying to find some friction against him. he knows what you want, but he doesn't want to sleep with you so quickly. he won't take advantage of a cute, young woman such as yourself.

“listen, i won’t fuck you today, but i will make you feel good, okay? you nod quickly, desperate for any type of attention from the older man.

he sits back down onto the couch, leans back, spreads his legs and pats his thigh. you don’t have to be told twice. once you’ve made you’re comfortable on his lap, he grabs your head and kisses your mouth slow. you’re so hot you can’t even function. 

he’s trying to distract you with the fact that his hand is rubbing and squeezing up your warm thigh. but it not distracting enough when you fell him cup the mound of your pussy, fingers pressing down on your clit. 

you moan out “rory” from finally getting that friction you so desperately wanted. 

“fuck, you’re soaked. you should not be wet for someone so much older than you, baby.” he tuts at you. you can do anything but whine and moan and he rubs your “clothed” pussy. it’s so wet you don’t think you can deem it as clothing anymore, and apparently he thinks so too as he pushes past the fabric and slides his middle and ring finger deep into your tight pussy. your moans become louder as you immediately take them and start riding his fingers. 

“oh my god, im gonna cum!!” 

“fuuck. already? that’s a new world record, baby.” he says and you know he has the smuggest smirk gracing his face known to man. he starts becoming sloppier with the way he fingerfucks your cunt. letting your slick trickle down all the way to his palm as you orgasm all over his fingers. 

you slump over on his body, face in his neck as you try calm down. you find comfort in the scratchiness of his beard. he lets you sit for a few minutes as he strokes your back. then flips you and over and you’re now the one sitting on the couch. you look up at him a bit surprised. 

“ohhh no, were not done yet. give me the tie in your hair." you hair comes down and you give him the tie. you’re still breathing heavily and coming down from your orgasm as you watch him tie his hair up. you let out a breathy giggle watching him. 

he then chuckles too. “you’re not about to be laughing in a minute, sweetie.”  

he begins trailing kisses up trembling thighs. you feels yourself getting wet again, but you can’t do anything but let him have his way with you. 

he starts to kiss at your swollen lips, moaning against your pussy as he feels how hot and soaked you are on his mouth. when you feel him lick a thick, warm stripe from your leaking hole up to your needy clit and sucks, oh you know you’re done for. 

“mm, fuck. you taste heavenly, baby.” rory is now full on making out with your dripping cunt and you're on the verge of cumming. again. you don’t even get a chance to tell him cause he presses his tounge down hard on your clit as he’s circling and teasingly pushing his fingers into your sopping hole. that pushes you over the edge. 

“yesss, that’s it baby, cum all over my tounge.” you’re screaming loud moans that you hope no ones else can hear as you orgasm all over his mouth. you can see his damp salt and peppered stubble between your slightly blurred field of vision. rory then begins to get up to help clean you up but you begin to talk. 

“wait.” he freezes. 

“let me play with your hair for a minute, i haven’t got to yet and really really want to.”

is there any reason why you prefer April x CJJ vs. April x Cassandra? no hate or anything, i'm just genuinely curious as someone who prefers the latter. it's not a ship i'd ever encountered before reading your fics - in the Rise fandom specifically, i mean. i see April and Future Boy as having a more aunt/nephew dynamic personally (even if CJJ's apparently older than April in the movie lolol)

short answer is that i just do ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

longer answer here:

long answer is that i enjoy playing with casey’s turmoil at his radically different relationship with people he knew before but who are very different now. time travel in a story that is heavily character-driven (as rise and my fics both are) is always interesting, because it forces the characters to recontextualize their dynamics, and i Like interesting.

like. i see him as having a father-son relationship with leo in the future. not literally but more in that [vine voice] you are my daaad youre my dad kind of way. when he comes back to the present, elements of that remain, but there are ways where they’re almost brothers or best friends instead. i dont particularly think he thinks of the other turtles as uncles so much as some kind of vague “family.” the rigid structure of a traditional family just doesnt feel like something he would have grown up with in an apocalyptic setting. he might use the term “uncle” or “aunt” but in terms of that Meaning a specific relationship, i dont see it. versus how like. communities sometimes refer to all older women as “auntie” or “grandma” but there isnt a specific familial meaning for it.

same thing with april where now, things are messy and complicated. im like. oh wouldnt it be interesting if he had a little baby crush on her the way little kids sometimes do to adults they admire. a harmless little thing he outgrows because that’s the natural way things go and nothing would have ever come of it, it was never romantic or sexual or anything of the sort. in a normal world, that would have been the end of it. except then he time travels and bam, now suddenly it’s different. she’s his equal now in a way she wasnt before. he’s attractive and clever and skilled and april finds it hot, so she shows romantic interest because for her, she doesnt have any context of it feeling weird. for casey, sure she was a kind of aunt figure, but she isn’t now. but also she’s his dad’s sister. but also she isn’t and also leo isn’t his dad anymore. now that baby crush wouldnt be weird, and even though he got over it and it was never a Thing now it’s a Thing. it feels weird, because if anything now the imbalance is in the other direction. he’s the one with more life experience with being an adult, even if they’re roughly the same age now. but also she has more experience of how to live in a society, so she still has that mentor place even as she becomes available, romantically.

look how messy that is!! it’s complicated, and i find complicated things interesting. i like writing about complicated things, particularly complicated emotional things. meanwhile, cass is an excellent character and i love her a lot in the canon, but narratively speaking she isn’t very complex. her relationship with april is, at its Most complex, enemies-to-lovers, except that was resolved in canon so it’s not even really there to play with too much. i just don’t typically find her compelling to write.

i’ve played with april/cass in my head, but it’s just a little boring to me. if i were to shake things up (which im happy to do because im not a mono-shipper here by any means) i’d be much more interested in april/sunita. the balance of dating a yokai with april whom we know from canon prefers to keep her head down low and be “normal” with non-mutant people is Interesting. sunita has the broach, sure, but what if she loses it? what if she decides after the whole yokai business she wants to be visible and april has to deal with that? that’s interesting!!! that can get messy!! that can be complicated!!

so yeah. that’s why i do what i do. hope that clears it up for you ✨

i still have a hard time making sense of "friend" in deltarune. I've been sent The Doc and I've read it and there are clearly a lot of friend and friend-esque appearances, and that friend also has a lot of connections to other mysterious phenomena, like egg man or cat petterz and so on, but like. what does it mean. is this something that's meant to be resolved eventually or is this just a mysterious freak phenomenon.

and i don't know. i feel like despite the many appearances, it's hard to pin down what their role in the story or the world is, what their nature is. i can't say anything about friend, im afraid.

what i say something about though, is cat petterz. or specifically, Cat petterz the rpg. both of which have a lot of connections to friend. there's one primary thing we know about Cat petterz the rpg, and that is that it is, in noelles own words, a ripoff of dragon blazers. now, Dragon blazers, as we've learnt in chapter 4, is based on Lord of the hammer, which in turn is based on the Prophecy. in other words, "Cat petterz the rpg" is a copy of a copy of a copy.

i also have something to say about the Mike room. a lot of mike enthusiasts on twitter have been trying to convince me that none of the mikes (mic jpg included) weve been presented with are supposed to be the real mike, but there IS a real mike out there, somewhere, and he's also friend. I'm not entirely sold on this, but the nature of the "mikes" and the mike room is interesting. firstly, it's been pointed out that the real world object equivalent of the mike room is likely the Cat petterz rpg game that is hidden in kris' room. hence why the heavy cat-petting featured in that section, and why the minigames from Cat petterz the rpg is featured in mike's battle and room. another interesting aspects of the Mike's themselves is the idea of "where did the idea of mike come from?". the mikes are copying an idea without ever having seen an original. they're acting in accordance to Tenna's expectation of what mike is, which has come about from the mikes mimicking who they think mike is. which i think is similar in phenomenon enough to the copy of a copy nature of cat petterz the rpg that i felt it was worth mentioning.

another friend-esque figure is obviously spamton, namely because of the pink-yellow glasses. he's also been in contact with a mysterious unknown figure on the phone, and just by nature of it being a mystery, there's even more reason to suspect friends afoot. there's a lot to say about spamton and lots of theories to be made about what happened to him but there's one quirk of spamton i want to bring up. there's two instances of spamton deliberately copying the appearance and/or mannerisms of another character. firstly, he's copied swatch's look as part of a scheme to sneak into the mansion basement, but secondly, of course, tenna. not only has he copied musical motifs, liberally borrowing entire phrases and his manners of speaking, and at one point dressed like him. in some sense, he is, or at least was, a "knock-off" tenna. though interestingly enough, tenna wants what spamton has, whatever that is. tenna was trying to fopy spamton back.

quickly i want to mention too in the mantle minigames, the controller you use is pink and yellow and described as a "knock-off" controller. friend makes an appearance too in the mantle battle. (also, worth mentioning, many of the locations match descriptions of dragon blazers locations described by noelle on her blog in sweepstakes. on the topic of dragon blazers and cat petterz)

one last mention is egg man, who is the last on the list of mysterious figures with connections to friend, though the connections are not very strong in my opinion, nor has there been that much to say about egg man up until chapter 3. previous eggs have been very unceremonious to find, meanwhile in chapter 3 it requires an entire sidequest. as a reward, you get to enter a 8-bit-esque section featuring lost rudinns before you get to meet the man himself. one of the rudinns say the bombshell extremely interesting line of "copies are monochrome, but you colored each of us in with care." now by copies are monochrome, in a literal sense this rudinn probably means kris photocopied ace of diamonds cards and printed them with a printer that couldn't print in color. but in a greater context, it's hard to not think of goners, which are gray and often resemble other regular monsters. and it's hard to not think that this lead-up is saying something about this egg man, this "forgotten" man.

i haven't said much about friend itself, because i can't figure friend out. but what i can say that each phenomenon which people much smarter than me have concluded is connected to friend in some way, there seems to often be some sort of copying or knock-offery going on. so the only thing i feel confident concluding is that there's some connection between friend and the idea of copying and knock-offs.

The Amazing Spencer [M]Reid

an: i thought of this idea at work and i cldnt get it out my head, spencer as spiderman is so chefs kiss, i kinda wanna do more with this au but idk!!! i like the idea of the entire bau being friends and some of them are seceretly superheroes around nyc, also the title works shut up

synopsis: spiderman!au where spencer is spiderman and his best friend penelope is his guy in the chair/very worried medic, 0.7k words

cw: mentions of past violence, descriptions of bodily harm/wounds, tobias hankel is the lizard/dr curtis connors, very ooc spencer im so sorry

masterlist

Spencer had been doing this for a long time, he was used to coming home late - if at all - bloodied and bruised. The constant fear for his life had dulled over time. Of course, it was something he still worried about, especially when it impacted his friends and family, but the guilt wasn’t all consuming anymore.

Earlier that evening Spencer got a tip that the Lizard, also known as Tobias Hankel, had escaped from prison and was running loose across New York City. He remembered the first time Hankel had been a problem, those were not memories he looked back on fondly. Especially because he was too high to remember most of them. This time, he intended to put his years of experience to good use and not get kidnapped and drugged! His plan was relatively successful, it left Hankel beaten on the doorstep of the prison he escaped from and left Spencer feeling only mildly loopy from blood loss.

Landing in the fire escape, he slowly lifted the window pane to his apartment. “Garcia? Are you awake?” Penelope Garcia had figured out about Spencer’s double life pretty quickly, she could always tell what Spencer was thinking. At first she had completely refused to believe it, how on earth could her beanpole of a best friend swing around New York and beat on bad guys? Eventually, her resolve had softened and she swore that she would help in any way she could. Her first suggestion had been to rebrand as “The Boy Wonder”, but that would’ve just got Spencer ridiculed even more so that was an immediate veto. Normally she gathers intel on the people Spiderman is hunting, and sometimes she would stay over to help with the first aid Spencer would inevitably need.

“Spencer?” Her soft, slipper-clad footsteps hurried to the living room (they were pink cats with sparkles on the ears, Spencer had got them for her one Christmas). “Oh my god, Spencer what happened? You look like you were thrown off 12 buildings and mauled by 20 cats, consecutively.”

He shrugged, “you’re close. Although I would have preferred the cats.” Spencer stumbled over to the couch and unceremoniously flopped onto it. “Hankel got out, had to grapple with him to get him to go back. Prison really changes a man, he had a lot more tricks up his sleeve for me.”

“Tobias Han- Spencer,” she moved to stand in front of him, jaw dropped, “Spencer, Tobias-freaking-Hankel escaped and you didn’t tell me? You just went out to fight him, are you crazy? What if he kidnapped you again Spence, no one would know and you would be hurt and alone-”

“Pen, I’m okay, I promise. I didn’t tell you because I knew you would freak out. But I’ve grown a lot since facing him the first time, I wouldn’t have let anything bad happen.” He loved Penelope Garcia with all his heart, but she could worry and work herself up about every little thing. It made him feel so guilty that he added onto it with this whole Spiderman thing. “Look, I’m sorry I kept you blind about it, I will let you know next time. Now, if it’s not too much trouble, could you maybe help me with this.” He gestured down to his thoroughly torn open chest, Hankel had set his claws in deep and the wound was burning.

Spencer watched as Garcia’s eyes followed down to his chest, “Oh my god you’re bleeding out! Spencer this should’ve been the first thing you said! Okay, I’ll get the first aid kit, but oh- Spencer, that looks really bad, we might need to go to the hospital.”

“I’ll be fine, I don’t have super healing for nothing,” he gave her the cheekiest smirk, then softened, “We’ll see after you clean me up, honestly I think you have some superpowers too, I always feel better when you patch me up.”

She narrowed her eyes, failing to hide the beaming grin on her face. Spencer watched as she turned to find the medkit in the bathroom. Sometimes, days like these were hard. Getting beat on by gigantic lizard monsters was never anyone's idea of fun. But it was all worth it when he remembered why he did it. He was eternally grateful for Penelope’s help, she was the most devoted person he had ever met. Without her he probably would be long dead already, New York left without its protector. If she could help patch him up at the end of the day, then he could easily swing around the city, and maybe catch a bad guy or two on the way.

[sieglinde-freud]

hiii @nyxlunaire !!!! sorry i did attempt to type this all in the replies but im a rambler and got smacked with the character limit because i had so much to say so im making it a post! but just know i never mind!! im so flattered ur interested 😭 also if you want me to untag you lmk, i just wanted to make sure you know that i am responding!! just somewhere else. theyre honestly among my favorite sibling pairings in fire emblem, maybe right behind eirika and ephraim which is kind of crazy bc lucina and inigo are definitely. not canon siblings in any way!! but in my head they are and they make a lot of sense to me! overall i think their relationship is a positive one and a close one. there’s a couple of strains, what with inigo’s relatively lackadaisical attitude being a bit annoying for lucina who was probably raised with more rigor (chrom was still ALIVE), and i can imagine lucina’s headstrong-ness could have bothered inigo. but you know. siblings piss eachother off. it happens. i dont think it happens as much with these two, especially in the bad timeline when they both REALLY needed to lock in to stay alive. to me, what really makes them interesting is everything post coming back in time

so they both come back in time and have wildly different experiences with obviously just landing, but more importantly with chrom and olivia. obviously just because of how gameplay works, inigo WOULD have a closer relationship with olivia, and lucina WOULD have a closer relationship with chrom. those have the intentional parent conversations as opposed to the generic ones with their variable parent but that doesnt change that they happen! and so for starters, with inigo specifically, we all know this one. we all know the infamous inigo pc support in which his dad, chrom in this case, compares inigo to lucina and reprimands him for not taking the fight seriously, falling for inigo’s teehee silly dumbass facade that he puts up and thus, despite the resolution in the A support, theres still a distance and there’s still a strain between them that is less than it was before but still present (this you can tell in how chrom treats future past inigo!!)

so we all know that one, very popular non-canon parent-child relationship blah blah blah. but i think what goes underlooked is lucina’s conversation with olivia (and her mother in general). this makes sense, because this support is truly nothing to write home about. its like, cute. but its generic and not all that interesting aside from the acknowledgment of baby lucina. but what im really interested in is the language lucina uses here and in her future past conversations with olivia and when she reunites with her parents after the henry chapter (12? 13?) and its very interesting if you’re someone who likes to read too much into the text where nothing was intended to be this way (me). i wont go into EVERY detail right now with olivia and lucina bc this is supposed to be about the siblings, but its important to note that lucina… does not know olivia. “her olivia died!” very true, but that came after chrom’s death, and lucina is able to adjust to having chrom back very easily! like its natural! but with olivia, she doesnt know how to talk to her. she doesnt understand her clothes, she doesnt know how to read olivia’s reactions, she doesnt know what to say or do when she meets olivia for the first time, and this isnt a problem that i see resolved in the A support all that well. its not the same kind of distance chrom and inigo have, but it is distance.

back to what you actually asked me, because i do have a point with this! i think that inigo and lucina, whether or not they realize it and whether or not they ever admit it to themselves, are jealous of eachother. what lucina has with chrom is what inigo has always needed growing up—a father figure who he can count on the support and love of. but when he found chrom, any stories and descriptions he knew from lucina break instantly once they talk. he says, “For being such a softie with everyone else, he doesn’t pull any punches with me.” how. interesting. and with lucina, i think it would be insane for her to see inigo, who knew their mother for even less time, immediately fall into step with her. they bond over dancing, shyness, and seem to get on well immediately. lucina didnt get that! when lucina saw her mom for the first time, olivia was crying and lashing out at her dad! resolved almost instantly, of course, but that’s a horrible thing to come back to! and she doesnt dance, she doesn’t understand her mom’s anxiety, she doesn’t get the same advice from olivia that inigo does. why? that question will never be answered. but it bothers her, and when siblings are jealous of eachother in this way, it leads to strain. obviously, it wont ruin their relationship. at the end of the day, theyre siblings who love eachother, and at this point, inigo is one of the only people in the world who can truly understand what lucina has been facing and is one of her strongest supporters. but they’re also young and are relishing in the comfort of having their parents back again as well as the discomfort of experiencing sibling rivalry for the first time. the worst part, though, is that they dont get to fix this.

blah blah blah awakening happens grima dies blah blah blah and then BAM. inigo? gone. hes outtie. disappears without a trace and supposedly without any real heads up, and if there is a heads up, its probably wildly inaccurate about the time hes gonna be gone!! and we all know how laslow feels about leaving (immense guilt and despair and sadness and grief) but what if he left a sister behind? a sister that, despite reassurances, feels out of place with her “parents” and who’s watching the rest of her friends move on and start the rest of her lives? a sister who had always planned to go back to their shithole of a home, but never thought she’d have to do it without her little brother by her side, or at least without a proper goodbye. will he come back? should she wait? will she wait? i dont know. i dont think either of them do know and i think thats the scary the part. when laslow comes home and reunites with the family he’s mourning for years, who he’s shared tales and stories and tidbits of with his daughter, will her auntie lucina be there to meet her too?

in my head, yes she is and they all live happily ever after forever BUT. thats a loose end worth exploring i feel. the grief and loss that follows these two is truly never ending and i feel like once you eternally interconnect them this way, through making them siblings, they get a lot more fun. i definitely have more thinking to do on post-fates them but… if they were strained before. weeell. imagine what being apart for that long without resolving your conflict will do to you. haha.

there were other ways calypso and leo’s relationship couldve been written, in this essay i will

this isnt a hot take at all but caleo just has. so many problems. im not gonna list em but anyone who’s read hoo and toa knows

so how could it have been written better? here are my (a non writer who has shit articulation) opinions, please be nice

1. They date, then break up

this feels like a likely thing to happen bcs as we know, leo is notoriously flirty and seeking relationships and calypso falls in love REAL easily. so ofc, being stuck on an island together with no other company for like weeks on end would lead to a relationship of some kind. though i think that relationship would most likely be. unhealthy.

so yeah, theyd get together, but itd probably start showing problems very quickly as we see in TOA. but from there, i think they shouldve broken up. maybe it could be caused by an outside intervention from someone who. maybe has better experience with healthy relationships. jiper being an example, since they broke up after piper realized their relationship was basically started with lies.

once they broke up, leo could learn that romance isnt a cure all (cough rick cough) and that he doesnt need a partner to ‘fit in’. the whole seventh wheel thing was a big part of his characterization so i think unlearning that whole mess would be a good thing for him, esp since TOA had a lot of ‘growing and developing and changing’ as a theme. he could learn to define and support himself outside of his relationship with women (mommy issuesss)

calypso could also learn to support herself and have relationships with people that arent unrequited crushes, what with how her only human interaction was with random men who couldnt stay.

2. They stay as friends

Basically same character benefits as the last one, just different methods.

Leo realizes he doesnt like calypso in that way on the island during that time itself, maybe due to self reflection or something. maybe they have an intervention/impromptu therapy session or something and figure themselves out. not like they have much else to do on the island

this way, we get to see him figure out (is that the right word?) that being friends w/ women isnt automatically a gateway to romance. that its not so simple. that he can have close friends without having to date anyone (+ possible aro rep here but thats just me projecting) then from there, he can develop this further and come to terms that he doesnt need a romantic relationship to be loved etc etc

3. They stay together, but it’s established as. not good

now for this one i think its less likely since this entire thing is still sorta a kids book series and authors dont usually include these types of topics without it being resolved, but it is something to think about

caleo’s relationship in TOA felt pretty icky at least to me, so i imagine it isnt setting the best example for kids if its portrayed as normal/a good thing

in this method, their relationship could stay but just be more established as not normal and unhealthy bcs. it kinda is

anyways thats my ted talk. please dont kill me im bad at articulating

how would all teyvat people react to discovering the truth of the impostor? Would they ask the BSD cast to see the reader? (Sorry the bad grammar, inglish ins't my first lenguage)

a world of my own

synopsis - in a world of abilities perhaps you had a very unique one

includes - venti, zhongli, ei, nahida, furina

warnings - gn!creator!reader, crossover fic between bsd and genshin!, angst, minor comfort, slight fluff?, small mentions of injuries, wc - 2k

a/n: first post after hiatus! this has been in the works for ages and im so sorry it took so long, i had alot pf fun writing and coming up with ideas for this! :) is this classed as sag!au?

your ability was unique to say the least. abilities were rather unique anyway but yours was a bit more out there than the traditional scope of abilities. you never thought much of it at first, you didn't even realise until later in your life as it was quite difficult to figure.

you can't really make out when you first discovered let alone knew about your ability. because an ability to create life wasn't an everyday occurrence. your ability resolved around your writing, around your ability to craft worlds out of paper and ink and form a world that governs on it's own. with characters that can make their own decisions, with a world that can change according to their actions.

and at the time, you hadn't quite realised the extent of what that meant. so when you decided to craft a world around various nations that resembled that of the real world you didn't think much of it. if anything you found it exciting - especially because you could view the characters you fashioned through the pages and see how they adjusted to their world.

but very quickly you learnt that this world you had created was now it's own. while you could add to it and control it, that wouldn't do for when you were away as you couldn't dote on them 24/7. so you thought that a nice touch would be to add beings named 'archons'. god's who could maintain the lands you created and even give gifts to those the deemed worthy - 'visions'.

but apart from your bustling world that you created, you found other uses for your ability. uses that eventually lead you to having your skill recommended by a man who you briefly met, to an agency. you found him interesting when he approached you because he was no man.

he was a calico, one that could become human and he seemed to know all about your ability. and eventually, with your permission, he recommended you to an old student of his. a student who then accepted your application into the place named 'the armed detective agency'. and that was where you worked, you worked there in return for the protection they were asked to grant you for your ability - because if anyone found out, your life surely would hang in the balance.

the agency took up most of your time nowadays. so much so that by the time you had passed the entrance exam and adjusted to your new work, your world you created had dissolved into chaos. it seemed the archons you created had destroyed a nation you created, killing seemingly all residences.

and you didn't know what to do, you could recreate the nation but they probably would destroy it again. or you could get rid of your archons but they had become so integrated into the world you had no choice other than to let them be. and that probably was the best choice. this world you had created was now just as real as the world you resided in and even as the creator, interfering with what they did would be wrong.

and so you let it be. you still checked periodically on the world however. every night you would spend at least some time watching over your world and entertaining yourself with the experiences your characters had given themselves and the people they had become. but you also liked a more direct interaction occasionally.

as another element to your ability was to cross the threshold of paper and become one with the world you had created before returning to your true world. interacting with your characters face to face and exploring the world they had formed off your foundations of life you granted.

perhaps you also had favourites. and maybe they would find that things started going their way more often or whatever issue they told their new friend became mysteriously solved. however, the archons were slightly more aware, more tuned in to the world around them.

so much more aware that they could tell something wasn't sitting right. the first one to fully deduce what was occuring was the shogun. she had assumed the conclusion that the new person who often visited inazuma and the various other nations was nothing but an imposter. an outlier in their world, someone who threatened her eternity. and so word spread among other archons like wildfire - and they were more than prepared to defend the land they lived in.

when creating tevyat and it's residents you'd never expected them to turn on you. not sparing you the moment to explain or even defend yourself and now you were met with the wrath you gifted your creations. you sought out your shelter back in your real world - re-entering your world in a decreasing state of injury.

not even the agency could believe that the greatest danger came from your own creations. the agency made note to keep an eye on your creations now aswell. but what you hadn't realised, considering you never touched the world you created after, is that the archons had come to realise the misinterpretation. realise they had hurt what was in fact their creator - how else would you bave disappeared from their world completely throigh means of pages and ink? and now they wanted to transcend those same pages to fix their wrong doings. but you both knew it would be impossible right?

venti ★↷

the tone deaf bard. not the original archon you created but the one you returned to. the bard that was an elemental being and now the archon in place of the deceased anemo archon you originally formed. but you still found him rather charming - he had his own quirks per say.

quirks that you never would've guessed would include him becoming so violent and unreasonable when he was convinced you were a threat. but those same quirks made him realise his mistakes rather soon after. if none of the other archons were going to apologize he would be damn sure that he tried.

but unfortunately he had very little idea on how he could break the barrier of paper and ink, to reach you - his creator. he wanted nothing more than to find you and apologize until his voice was hoarse and he could no longer sing. anything for your forgiveness.

but for now all he could do was mellow in his sorrow and wait for someone to devise a plan to get themselves back in your life.

zhongli ★↷

he was an interesting case. perhaps you went a bit too overboard making him both an archon and the geo dragon but you'd call that character building. but regardless, he was another one of the characters you had created with care and that meant he was no different.

he was very wise aswell. but perhaps he wasn't wise enough to question the electro archons actions and instead went along with them. and it was only when he hurt you that he realised who you may be when the ink and paper pulled you out their world. the world he realised you may of created.

the severity of what they might of done weighed heavy upon his mind and he would not rest unless the situation was solved. he needed to clear his and the lther archons conscience and the only way to do so would be to transcend into your world and apologize to their creator. and so he would do anything he can to make that happen.

ei ★↷

you knew your electro archon was more violent than her predecessor. but you couldn't blame her, she had lost alot and now she practically only had one goal in her mind. but you still believed she was fit for running the nation of inazuma and trusted that she would make the right decisions for it.

but you never anticipated this would be a decision she would make. one that caused you the most pain and suffering, most of your injuries sustaining from her. she was the one that decided you were an outsider that posed a threat to her eternity and the entire of tevyat. so maybe that was why she felt so much regret when she found out who you were.

how could she hurt her very creator? however the shogun still held a high pedestal and couldn't really comprehend her emotions so she would be the last to apologise if they ever made it too you. she would want to apologise but she can't.

(platonic!)nahida ★↷

nahida was not buer. she was in some aspects but not the very same from 500 years ago in their world, you guessed it would've been unfair to assume nothing would change. but even so, you adored the young appearing girl that filled the role of sumeru's archon. someone that made a great sacrifice and held vast amounts of knowledge.

she may appear as a young girl but she definitely had the attitude of a mother and you couldn't of been more proud of her. maybe that was why you were massively hurt by her sudden change. and she didn't feel great about it either. she was so reluctant to join and tried reasoning with the other archons that were more violent but nothing worked.

she probably was one of the first to realise who you truly were which only made her guilt worse. now you were gone, they had hurt their creator. and from sumeru's vast knowledge she would be the first to figure how to transcend to fix their mistakes.

furina ★↷

yet again another archon that you had not left in charge - but she was different. you found the sentiment to be rather bittersweet. your original hydro archon being beheaded and in her place the girl she asked to play her role in fontaine's vast tapestry. a human playing a god, guess anything could happen in your world.

furina was also another one that was hesitant to join the archons in their violence. she was rather conflicted and found herself confiding in neuvillette when the other archons realised theor mistake and this world had a creator - one they know hurt.

her regret and guilt made her almost forget completely about the prophecy. she wanted nothing more than to be the first person to break the barriers of pages and apologize. and even perhaps then if she got back in your good book you could help her erase the prophecy.

bonus: neuvillette ★↷

the hydro dragon. you had created the dragons for their respected elements after being motivated to do so - they would add another depth to the world. but the last thing you expected was for each of them to be stripped of their powers and left with the only option but to kill the respective archon for them back.

you hated what this had become but what little could you do now? neuvillette had only known of the situation when furina confided her regret in him. he despised the archons for jumping straight to conclusions and resorting to violence like they did all those years ago. but now all he could do was assist furina in her search to break the barrier of paper and ink.

while he may not have hunted you himself, he still felt as if he owed you an apology some how - and the idea of meeting his creator intrigued him. but residents of fontaine hoped that whatever troubled the hydro dragon would be resolved as it had never rained so much before.

[stagefoureddiediaz]

question though like we know the uncomfortable truth for tommy is his past, so what's buck's uncomfortable truth? I feel like that has to be his feelings for Eddie and do I think that means Tommy is jealous absolutely not but I do think Tommy will be the one to pretty much tell Buck it's Eddie and it always will be him.

I too have been musing o bucks uncomfortable truth or truths and I just don’t think his feelings for Eddie are the answer here, all of the interviews have implied fairly heavily that it’s about both of their pasts. It’s also far more satisfying narratively if Buck figures out for himself that he’s in love with Eddie. I could see Tommy saying something when the relationship is ended that sets bucks brain whirring, but I don’t think it’s something that would come up during the relationship.

I’m not sure I have the full answer on what in bucks past it will be, but my current thoughts are connecting dots relating to either the sperm donation coming back up - something that wasn’t really fully resolved and would be interesting from a do you want kids conversation perspective and would potentially be uncomfortable.

Alternatively it could be related to bucks promiscuity and in connection with that his cheating. Which is probably my preferred option to be honest because it ties into my theory that bucktommy are a buckabby redux. Part of me thinks this because of the parallels the two relationships already have - first proper relationship with Abby - first queer relationship with Tommy, the age gap is probably around the same between them, failed dates, both Abby and Tommy being brought up something for Chim (return to work and bachelor party) and there are many more. But the other part of me thinks this because the Abby of it all is one thing in bucks life that has been there since season 1 and has never been given full closure. The bench conversation in 3x16 was deeply unsatisfying as the end to that arc and now is the time to bring it back up and close it out fully. By not having full closure I mean that Abby didn’t really truthfully apologise for how she left etc and she justified her own actions in a way that placed blame onto buck. buck still had very little agency in much of that relationship or it’s ending and her was made to feel foolish for waiting and abandoned. Bucks past relationships etc being the thing of his past that comes up gives him the opportunity to close out all of that - he can end things with Tommy on his sim terms. Abby’s past played a part in her treatment of buck so for bucks past to do the same only for him to do it properly would show so much growth and development for him. It also plays into what else Oliver has said about buck being more confident and self assured.

Of course im probably way off and there is every possibility that we are going to be given some new buck lore and that the thing that is the uncomfortable truth (or whichever of the multiple descriptors Oliver or Tim have given us you’d like to go for) hasn’t yet been revealed to us.

anyway, enjoy a little showing of how coren is kept in line!

cws: brainwashing/conditioning, sensory overload (sort of), willing brainwashing

Coren's head isn't working right. It feels all floaty, not quite attached to its body. By the time it got back to where it was supposed to be it was already late in the day and it was too exhausted to give a proper explanation of why it was so late and what it was doing last night. It just begged forgiveness as much as it could when it couldn't think in coherent sentences, much less speak, and now it's sitting on a chair putting all its strength into staying upright and waiting patiently to be told what its punishment is.

It hopes it's the noise. It really, really hopes that. Not just because the alternative is being alone and it can't bear being alone, but because it's so tired and it can't think straight and the noise will help with that, it always does. It'll fix Coren. Make them able to do their job again. Coren wants to be able to do a good job. They want to so badly.

Its head hurts so terribly, which is good, because if it didn't it thinks it would probably slide right off the chair and collapse onto the ground, but it hurts, it hurts so much, the lights are too bright in here and their thoughts are chasing each other in circles and their ears are starting to ring–

"–ren? Coren?" 

Coren blinks and squints at the blurry figure in front of them until it resolves into the shape of Erica, their...manager, or handler, or whatever it is you want to call her.

"Hi, Erica," they mumble. "I don't feel good."

"I can tell that," Erica says with a raised eyebrow, and Coren shrinks back in shame. "What are you holding?"

Coren turns their head to stare at the spatula clutched in their hand. "I, um...dunno."

Erica sighs. "Well, I don't have time to pry it away now. Come on. We've decided you need some more time with the Sound."

Coren perks up immediately and follows behind Erica obediently, mustering their protesting body through the few steps with the promise of soon, soon, soon.

The noise room is empty and white and clean, and Erica shoves Coren inside in a way they'd protest usually but today are grateful for.

The door shuts behind them, and there's a slight click from the speakers, and then the Sound comes on.

It's like white noise but more, resounding, near-deafening, filling the room and your mind until you can't hear yourself think, let alone scream.

(They did use to scream, didn't they? They almost remember that, every time they come in here. But it never sticks— the sound takes it away, and besides, they don't want to remember something so unpleasant.)

Coren sighs, slumping bonelessly to the floor, a dazed smile spreading across their face. The noise drowns out any thoughts, rises and falls in waves, crashing against Coren's brain and gently smoothing away all the pesky contradictory thoughts that had been nagging at them. The ache of starvation fades from their limbs, and the haze of sleepiness melts from their mind. Everything is fine. Everything is alright. 

(but milo–) shhhh (but i have to–) shhhhhh (i'm still hungry–) shhhh (i can't rememb–) shhhhhhhh

This is so nice. Coren doesn't need to worry now. What was there to worry about, anyway? They're safe. The Company has them. The Company loves them.

Their fingers loosen, and the spatula drops from their hand, forgotten.

that's right! it was an EMOTIONALLY SIGNIFICANT SPATULA this whole time! haha!

[socialist-autist]

I love ur writing so much! I was wondering if u were open to doing 2p hetalia? I wanted to see some 2p ameripan….(Idk how versed u are in 2p stuff…there are wikis but. The 2ps wikis kinda suck …..you can get some info on them minus all the gross stuff the fandom made for them tho…) u dont have to do this obviously but i loooove ur stuff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also trying to figure out the nicest way to write a request without feeling like im demanding u-

Love in violence.

fandom: Hetalia. pairing: 2P America x 2P Japan. summary: A short look into the evening shenanigans of Kuro and Allen. genre: Slice of life, established relationship. warning(s): Alcohol, mentions of murder, violence (not described in detail), swearing. word count: 1,061 words. authors note: Sorry it's so short, I don't know too much about 2P characters :( ao3 link.

Allen glared at Kuro in front of him, putting down another card. He was trying his best to determine what the other was thinking as he looked over his cards. However, as usual, Kuro’s perfect poker face didn’t allow for much guessing. His fingers tapped impatiently, glancing quickly between the cards on the table and the cards in the Japanese’s hands. Just as he was about to complain, Kuro gave a heavy sigh and put his card on the table, his piercing eyes finally lifting to look at Allen’s face. A small blush creeped onto the latter’s face as he looked away at his own cards, then the table, then his cards again.

Allen grumbled, annoyed. He slammed his cards onto the table, sending them flying haphazardly onto the carpet and crossed his arms, “This isn’t fucking fair! You were cheating” he grumbled, gritting his teeth harshly. Kuro’s face remained unchanged, seemingly unphased by his victory, which only riled up Allen more, “Oh don’t be like that. You told me not to let you win” he hummed, calm as ever as he started the process of collecting all the cards into a neat pile. Allen huffed and rolled his eyes in response, slamming his fist onto the table. Kuro frowned as the cards scattered further due to the shaking of the table. He sighed, laying the cards down for a bit. His boyfriend was such a wuss. And a sore loser. He crawled over to Allen on all fours, as the man glanced at him before dramatically turning his head. He leaned against the American, running a finger along his chest as he sighed, “Allen—” he started, “Don’t be like this. Can I make it up to you somehow?” he proposed, still monotone and cold as he leaned closer and closer while speaking.

Allen looked over at him, his resolve had been broken slightly, but his pride was still hurt. He tried to shrug Kuro off him, turning away from the other more, “No!” he replied harshly. Kuro frowned at that, what a stubborn idiot, his hand moving to caress Allen’s jawline, “How about I cook tonight?” he proposed, peaking Allen’s interest. He considered that a little before giving in, wrapping an arm around Kuro’s waist to pull him closer, “Fine, babe” he grumbled, looking back at the Japanese. And just like that, Kuro was off Allen and back in his place, back to arranging the cards into a neat pile. Allen, still stewing in his rage a bit, spent some time debating whether to go and take his rage out on someone. His thinking was interrupted as a hand was put on his head, “Don’t go out now. I don’t wanna clean up one of your messes again” warned the monotone voice, causing Allen to groan. Dramatic as always, he pretended to collapse on the carpet, “You are no fucking fun!” he replied, glaring at Kuro. The man just stared back at him, face blank as usual, before moving to the kitchen and starting to prepare everything needed for dinner.

After taking some time to sulk, Allen made his way into the kitchen, wrapping his arms around Kuro’s waist, his face slotting against the others neck. They stood like that for a while as Kuro cooked, grilling the tofu the best he could. He always managed to make it taste exactly like chicken somehow. Allen closed his eyes, letting himself take comfort in the warm body in his arms. He opened his eyes as a delicious smell finally hit him. Soon after, food was getting served. Everything went by in a blur, both of them silent as they ate, although Allen did mumble a small thank you. Kuro, eating as cleanly and elegantly as possible, eventually brought up the topic of what they’d do after dinner. Allen, complete opposite of the man in front of him, shoved another mouthful of steamed vegetables into his mouth before speaking, “Let’s go out to the bar” he replied, eyes lighting up. The bar meant fighting, which meant he could beat someone to the edge of death again. Kuro made a slightly disgusted face, “I told you to not speak with food in your mouth.” he reprimanded, “And the bar sounds fine.” he added calmly.

Right after Allen got up, Kuro quickly grabbed his shirt collar and pulled him back a little, “Don’t kill him, got it? It’s hard to clean shit like that up” he warned, getting an eye roll and mumble of agreement in return. And so, they all headed outside, with Kuro putting down twenty dollars to cover their bill, and trailing behind the group. By the time he stepped outside, Allen was already all over the other guy. He was holding the poor man up by the scruff of his shirt, the fist his free hand formed swinging against the man over and over, his taunts just as relentless. The two women stood right by the entrance, now looking a little spooked. As Kuro stood on the side and watched one of them duck in to call security, he sighed deeply, his heart fluttering at the sight of the American being so violent. He really does too much for Allen.

And so, after having argued over Allen’s eating habits and finishing dinner, the two headed out to the bar. Kuro wasn’t particularly looking forward to being forced to babysit Allen and be around a bunch of drunk people, but these are the sacrifices we make for love. A small scowl still crossed his face as they stepped into the loud, dimly lit bar. Allen immediately took to the bar and Kuro diligently followed him, ordering their drinks for both of them. The two sat down and, much to the Japanese man’s annoyance, Allen immediately took to flirting with the two women beside him. It wasn’t that he took any offence, he simply despised listening to the slop Allen considered flirting. He didn’t really understand why women fell for it, it’s certainly not what attracted him to Allen. It didn’t take long before the loud American picked a fight, with one of the girl’s boyfriends by the looks of it. The man yelling at Allen was starting to get in his space, but he retained a cocky smile throughout the exchange, until the unsuspecting victim finally threatened him to go outside.

[kingshovelbug]

i dont think i ever explained what happened and what my plans were about… anything

but to summarize: my mom was murdered in a way that left my younger brother orphaned. on top of my mom making me promise to take care of my brother if anything happened to her, the only people other than me who could take care of him were old, not in great health or both

so willow and i moved back to my hometown from multiple states away and have been in to middle of figuring out two estates and custody of my brother since hes a minor

my mom still had me on her medical and car insurance so weve also been trying to figure out the legality of that and how both my brother and i were going to get medical care (medical insurance has since been resolved. not sure what im going to do without her car insurance atm)

because of how messy legally everything has been im essentially on call 24:7 for estate stuff and my brother. every time i sit down to do something else i get a call or email about one of the two

i want to start streaming on twitch again but the place were staying right now needs repaired. we emergency scooted into a unit that was just vacated and the prep for new tenants wasnt done yet. the biggest hurdle being whats going to be the office needs the carpet replaced pretty bad. a lot of the other damage is annoying but livable and can be done at a much slower pace

so once thats done ill be able to start streaming again. idk if ill continue the play throughs i started or start over with something else. its been long enough that while i had the vods my plans for how i was going to finish the games have completely left my brain. plus if i start streaming this month id want to play halloween games anyways so well see

[saveahorserideaneddie]

yup you said all my thoughts. literally. i was actually positive like... hours ago, to be honest. but after this episode... yeah, i don't know, i really hate to say it, but it's not happening. and people talking about the goodbye scene 😭 it was NOTHING fr. just a normal goodbye scene?? what are they on. thanks for replying my ask! it's hard to find people who actually are realistic. i love your blog.

also, did you see that *that* man might be filming for 911? this is about to be a shit show.

yeah, the episodes (especially when reading the interviews and seeing how they line up) haven’t really been painting a good picture for me but none of us will actually know until we know unfortunately… that’s the sucky part about watching a show live as it comes out.

im glad you enjoy my blog! I really want to move away from being so overtly negative all the time (i think leaving my current job that has been nothing but detrimental to my mental health will gelp with that) while still remaining wary and not building my hopes up for anything- especially given the show’s track record

and like when i say there was nothing special about the scene i don’t mean that it was a BAD scene per se, but i don’t see what all the fuss is about when it didn’t really do much… they had a really fitting in-character goodbye, and it wasn’t overtly super mega platonic, but they never have been so i don’t understand why everything’s suddenly “changed” now? i think people have taken the openness of discussing buddie that the cast/writers/journalists have started utilizing has thrown everyone for a loop and people are convinced that because a more progressive network is allowing them to talk about buddie, then it must mean buddie is happening, when that’s unfortunately not the case (as we have seen from network tv many many many many many times before, and have not seen the last of)

anyway- like i said, we won’t actually know anything until we know, but until then i’m gonna ignore the buddie of it all because all it’s done is cause me more stress and really dampened my enjoyment of the show overall lately (especially with how much they’ve brushed eddie off to the side- i mean, chris has been in texas for a YEAR for us… this plot should have been resolved by the end of 8a, but they wanted to make all this bullshit about “eddie needs to figure out who he is outside of a father” which he has not done, and “he needs to stop blaming himself and feel joy” which he has not done- all because they dedicated the screentime they coulc have used on the most annoying ass unimportant random side character that NO one liked 😭

but i digress…

as far as that man… all i’ve been able to find is that he was filming something (not necessarily 911) today, and we know he’s still wrapping up SWAT, so im going to assume that’s what he was doing, and hope that tim has at least grown enough sense to not employ that awful excuse for a human being again

Hils Watches Lovely Runner - Ep 13

Wait, what? A few days earlier from when????

Wait, I thought she wasn't allowed to say anything about the future. How does giving her brother winning lottery numbers not count?

Dude, that is literally your job. He escaped from your custody in the first place!

I mean it sounds bad when you say it like that...

She should form a 'time travel compulsive liar' club with Shen Wei

Well now her mum know she was lying because Sunjae just showed up, and Sunjae has just figured out she was faking having gone back to the future. Im Sol is going to be in so much trouble!

I see this a lot in dramas. Do Korean phone messages really know if the phone has been turned off or is it just a plot device?

Sunjae is apparently way more worried about her than her own mother

I mean I can see why she's freaking out. She's already in the past, and she's run out of time travel attempts (still not sure why that is) so if something happens to him now there's no way for her to fix it. Even if she hadn't run out of time travel attempts can she even go further back into to past? All three times she's travelled from 2023 and she's never gone further back than when she ended up the first time.

Oh, no, but if the serial killer is watching her then he now knows that the cops are there. Oh no.

Yeah, sure, why bother looking for him when his face is on some posters. I do admire their commitment to doing a little as possible. All of the useful things they've done are only because Im Sol told them to. And the dude escaped 5 mins after they caught him.

Oh no she screamed for help and scared him off and now he's run into Sunjae instead. That's going to do nothing to help with the huge amound of guilt she already has.

OH SHIT!

Oh no and now the sad Jongho song is playing this is not good

Holy fuck he just went off the cliff! I mean I guess this isn't the end because, you know, it's not the end and there's still another 3 episodes left but I have no idea how this is going to get fixed this time! Wow.

Well shit.

Aww no he's a soloist now I DON'T LIKE THIS

I feel like I've seen him in something before but according to MDL I have not. Although Under the Queen's Umbrella is on my to watch list

Ah, there she is. This is what I love most about her. And obv I am sad about Sunjae but I am sure that will get resolved before the end.

Ooh I think this is the first time we've seen Taesung in the present day

Taesung is a cop now? Aww he followed in his dad's footsteps in the end. Maybe he'll be a bit more efficient

I do like that while she's clearly still grieving for Sunjae she remembered what he said about saving her being his choice so she's trying to respect that choice. And there's time for drunken angry resignation letter shenanigans

(Brian Blessed voice) SUNJAE'S ALIVE?????

HE TIME TRAVELLED AS HE WAS DYING!!! I was trying to figure out how this was going to get fixed and this didn't even cross my mind. I love that nothing in this drama is predictable

Okay, he didn't time travel but that's when his watch became a new time machine and Im Sol used it so that she never met Sunjae at all. THIS IS SO TRAGIC.

Hiii :) it’s me again, the anon who yapped about fanon Vox, I’m here because I need to yap again: I’m kinda worried about season 2

After rewatching season 1, I felt like the stakes weren’t high enough for Charlie & the Hotel. One would think going into battle against Heaven would be devastating and disastrous but the only characters that permanently died were…background characters. I don’t count Sir Pentious because bro is alive and will most likely have a bigger role to play in the story now that he’s in heaven. The hotel was destroyed, yeah, but like minutes later it was rebuilt with the help of Lucifer.

That’s another reason why I feel like the stakes aren’t high enough, they added Lucifer way too soon. How are Vox & other future villains meant to stand a chance against the King of Hell?? I think it would’ve been better if took Charlie a couple of seasons to convince her dad to help her cause.

My main worries for season 2 are about Vox because I can’t stop thinking about him LMFAO. Anyways, I’m scared Vox will be a second Adam, goofy villain that gets killed off pretty quickly and anti-climactically. Vox was already a silly villain in season 1 (sending Pentious to the Hotel as a spy, cheering when Alastor got his ass beat, etc, etc.) so it’ll feel like a waste if they continue writing him that way. I want Vox to be an actual threat and kill one of the main characters PERMANENTLY. Preferably Angel Dust cause it’ll cause a shit ton of discourse since he’s well-loved by both the characters in-universe and the fandom but I don’t think that’ll happen. I just need Vox to lock in 🙏

Don’t get me wrong, I love Hazbin Hotel (only because of Alastor & the Vees but shhh 🤫) but I want the story to evoke emotions from me, I wanna be anxious, I wanna feel hyped, but I don’t feel any of this when things go too perfectly for the main characters and everything goes wrong for the antagonists.

I’m so sorry for the long ass essay, I would make my own post but I don’t wanna be perceived 😭😭

oh i completely understand ur worries nonny dont even worry about the essay

i definitely feel like theres a Risk of that happening to vox especially since . well. vivz doesnt have the best track record to begin with (cannot speak for hb but the way she deals with some characters and resolves their arcs is. questionable) but i personally think (hope? believe?) that since there are members on the writing and animation team who are fans of the vees that she wont just kill vox off for no reason / comic relief(or any of the vees, really) + also of all the vees vox is probably the most likely to die in a dramatic scene considering how he and al are set up to be character foils and killing him off in the stupidest way would be such a horrific storyline fumble i cannot in good conscience believe that vivziepop would even be able to fathom its stupidity. of course im holding out hope still because if theres one thing ive learnt about the internet its that you do not under any circumstances trust any public figures to make the right decisions ever and this applies to animated shows too.

vox killing someone forever would really manage to cement his place in the storyline as a big baddie, but i do have to disagree on wanting angel dead- personally- and as much as it pains me to say this- i think him killing husk or niffty would have the same effect while not interfering with angels healing arc: in fact itd even further angels healing arc and self discovery, alongside giving alastor a reason to perhaps go toe to toe with vox. (i do think that killing angel off would have an interesting result but it feels like an abrupt and unnecessary move to make, tho it may just be ny preference to want to see recovery arcs fulfilled so those characters can live their best lives)

++re what you said ab the hotel not having enough stakes for the next season, i totally agree- bringing in lucifer feels a bit like a cheap copout and didnt really serve to further **charlies** character arc (arguably you could say making up with her father developed her backbone more but. hm. idk you couldve done that in a multitude of other ways sooo)

Omg I absolutely love the little drabble you wrote! I’d love to hear you ramble about Avery and the oc

thank you so much for enabling me god bless

oh i should preface this whole thing with a big old trigger warning for pregnancy and miscarriage talk

alright so! let's start with the oc. her name is saffron elwood, and she was college sweethearts with toshi. they both knew they were going to break up at graduation, so they both were very much focused on the now together. like, this was all they were going to get with each other, so they should make the most of it.

saffron called toshinori "toshi" obviously and toshi called her "saffy". they were DISGUSTINGLY cutesy. my sincerest apologies to dave for having to put up with the both of them.

anyways. they were great together, but like they knew was going to happen, they broke up at graduation and toshi went home. little did either of them know at the time- saffron was pregnant. when she found out, she was torn- of course she was still keeping in touch with toshi, they might've broken up but not because of any real conflict between them. but they had just broken up because toshi was afraid she'd get hurt because of him. and she didn't want him to think she was trying to guilt him into coming back, nor did she want him to give up or put his dreams on hold for her.

so... she didn't tell him. she was torn on what to do her whole pregnancy. dave and his then-girlfriend (who would later become his wife) helped her out tremendously as emotional support, though dave really, really hated how she wasn't telling toshi about this.

her baby was going to be a girl, and saffron had decided on the name "anna" for her, kind of a little nod to toshi's mentor/mother figure, nana. and in the end, saffron had resolved to tell toshi about her pregnancy. then she found out she'd miscarried at 7 months.

to say saffron was devastated would be an understatement. saffron was so, SO ready and excited to be a mother, with or without toshi in her life. she dealt with a lot of grief, depression and self loathing in the wake of her miscarriage, and that self loathing led her to never telling toshi after all. she felt this was her burden to carry, since she blamed herself and her body for anna's death.

during this time, saffron met the man who would become her husband. i have not named him so if anyone's got suggestions, im all ears. her relationship with him helped her through the worst of it, and they got married. toshi attended the wedding and pretended like his heart wasn't breaking. after this, toshi and saffron do start to drift apart. by the time mha begins, they haven't spoken in 10 years.

i should preface this part with the fact that saffron and her husband were genuinely happy in the beginning and everything im about to say takes place over like. years and years.

anyways. saffron and her husband tried many, many times to have kids. saffron miscarried every time, and it took a toll on her. but her husband kept insisting that this time it would work out, this time their child would make it, just...not really accepting that saffron did not want to try anymore. she'd rather adopt children than put herself through this pain and guilt over and over again. her husband had this really weird thing about their kids being their biological children, though- every time she brought up adoption, he'd shoot it down. she ended up getting her tubes tied in secret so she could never get pregnant and suffer through that loss again.

saffron had been thrown into a pretty deep depression because of all of this, and ended up going to therapy and being prescribed depression meds. she slowly started to get better- this is the part she always stresses when she tells this story (which isn't often). she was getting better. but her depression meds made her gain weight, and suddenly her husband wouldn't touch her anymore. wouldn't look at her the way he used to. he'd assure her that of course he still loved her, of course he still found her sexy.

but it still didn't surprise her all that much when she found him in bed with another woman.

so, saffron got her ass out of there. she divorced him, cut all ties with him, even as he begged and pleaded for her to take him back.

and the day her divorce was finalized, saffron started the paperwork on adopting a child. she had wanted to be a mother for years, and goddamnit, she was going to be one.

obviously, avery turned out to be that kid. she was 8 years old when saffron adopted her, and had given up on being adopted, because avery was quirkless.

( a nasty byproduct of quirked society is that kids with good quirks get adopted more often than kids with weak quirks. kids who are quirkless seldom get adopted at all )

however, it took very little time to saffron to decide to adopt her- not out of any sense of pity, but because she could just feel in her bones that she and avery were meant to be family.

avery is in the same year as izuku & co, and she very much likes to give off tough, cool girl vibes. she played hockey back in the states (and is desperately trying to get a team set up at ua), and is currently throwing herself into computer studies and learning programming and stuff. see, avery never planned on going to ua for the hero course, because the hero course wouldn't teach her what she wanted to learn. the kind of hero she wants to be is someone like oracle, from dc comics. a cool hacker with all the intel, who can direct the flow of battle even though she's far from it physically.

anyways, avery wants to go to ua, so saffron and avery move to japan before avery's last year in middle school. guess which middle school she goes to for that third year. guess.

of course avery attaches herself to izuku immediately- besides her godsister melissa, he's the only other quirkless kid she's met. avery also has a strong sense of justice and no qualms about getting into fights with bullies, even if it does give her mother a headache.

it's through avery's friendship with izuku that saffron and toshi finally reconnect, and eventually rekindle their relationship. as saffron tells him later, "you have no idea... you're so easy to love, toshi."

OH ALSO LAST THING but saffron's quirk is Mend: she can undo a specific amount of time on an object, which frequently just looks like fixing or cleaning something.
