[crossbackpoke-check]

nosy anon again making a return because i think what my brain did was read that i helped find some kind of writing and then did not fully process what the writing was?? but upon rereading i am very intrigued if you ever get the urge to share i will be all eyes/ears/senses required to enjoy things!!

I GET TO DO WIP WEDNESDAYYYYYY!!! the writing exists mostly in the form of a tag (fantastic! 'verse) and also a thirty-two page doc of snippets and planning, so the sense you will be using most is imagination:

don't think i have ever actually formally written out anything about fantastic! 'verse but! the tl;dr of it is that it's a semi-college au: joel is still a hockey player for the lv phantoms, but morgan is a college student-athlete. it's incredibly relevant to the plot that joel falls in love with morgan in the check-out line of a wegman's, lies a little bit, and ends up going back to get his degree.

most of it is just good fun about college kids growing up, but i think there's a lot of parallels between making your way through a development system where traditional "success" isn't always guaranteed (ahl -> nhl, completion of higher education -> pursuit of a career) because that development system isn't always designed for you to "succeed" or have opportunities. heavy quotation marks around success because part of that struggle is learning what you want in life and how you define success. are your dreams achievable? are they still the same dreams you always used to have? it's infinite branching universes of would you still love me if i was a worm (ahl player forever) (a college dropout) (a college graduate) (older) (realizing the fallibility of your body) (uncertain of the future) (human).

silly little snippet:

[tutuandscoot]

The fact that Scott doesn’t actually know exactly how many years they skated together is so endearing because it means they don’t count the years they’ve been together coz they will always be together and it started when they were so young they probably don’t even remember the exact day there was a time before and a time after and they only live in the time after being paired up. They will never not be partners..🥺❤️‍🩹

However also scootie it’s pretty sad you don’t know it’s literally in your Instagram bio

Please ship Orion and Lightray with me, thank you

If you've been reading my Fourth World posting, you might have noticed me mentioning Orion and Lightray's relationship. This is because they're in love and I'm obsessed with them. Please join me in grumpy/sunshine-but-they're-alien-demigods hell, with visual references below.

So Orion, as we know, is the son of Darkseid who was raised on New Genesis but has always felt different and monstrous compared to his peers. Lightray is his best friend, who thinks Orion is just the best thing since sliced bread and says so constantly.

This is literally how we're introduced to them, in New Gods #1:

Lightray: Don't be sad. Hug time! Orion: Hugs are not for one such as me. But you're still my best friend. Lightray: Please let me enter your chambers. Orion: NO THEY ARE TOO DARK. Lightray: D:

This panel, from #6, sums up their whole dynamic really well:

Lightray doesn't crave battle the way Orion does but he is determined to stay by his side, while Orion doesn't want Lightray to fight beside him because he thinks Lightray is too good and pure to be tainted by violence.

Zero personal space.

So one of the things about Orion is that his real face is sort of brutish and not traditionally handsome (the eyebrows are WILD), but he uses his Mother Box (like a living pocket computer that loves you) to make himself look more like the people of New Genesis. In #8, he gets into a knock-down, drag-out fight with his half-brother Kalibak that nearly kills them both, and Mother Box can't maintain the illusion (and also his face is, like, pulverized). And then this happens:

I WEEP. LIGHTRAY LOVES YOU JUST THE WAY YOU ARE, ORION.

New Gods was canceled soon after this, but when Kirby returned a decade later, he went all in on the homoerotic devotion. So Orion goes to Apokolips to kill his dad and rescue his mom, and who do you think follows him?

That second panel makes me laugh so hard. "Here, honey, you forgot your Scooty Puff Jr!"

My favorite thing about this is that Lightray is playing dumb. He shot at Orion earlier and then said something vague about missing on purpose...but he didn't:

HE REALLY TRIED TO WOUND ORION ENOUGH TO STOP HIS SUICIDE MISSION. And the way he just shuts his eyes and takes Orion's anger because he doesn't care what happens as long as he saves his friend's life...! (Orion doesn't hurt him, they just touch each other a lot.)

Anyway they argue for multiple pages, with Orion insisting that Lightray go home and Lightray insisting that he stay, until finally:

This is so intensely romantic and also so unintentionally hilarious that I can't stand it. The homoerotic gazing into one another's eyes and then the stupid mutual thumbs up! Whatever is going on with that closeup of Orion in the second panel! I die!

...And you know who else dies? Orion! Or at least he comes very close (it's unclear), but is rescued by a freedom fighter named Himon and nursed back to health by Himon and his daughter Bekka. We get a little romance between Orion and Bekka, but we also get Lightray coming to visit:

That is some FULL CONTACT wrestling, boys. Orion pinning Lightray to the ground while telling him it's good to see him is so much, but the fourth panel is even mucher. My goodness.

And then things get serious, because they both believe they are going to die in the upcoming battle (they don't), so they bid each other farewell and Lightray leaves, and then:

Orion yells after Lightray how smart and funny he is and then collapses in despair because his friend is gone. "HOW LIKE A WANDERING STAR HE SEEMS." Oh my god, Orion.

That's it for Kirby, so I'll move on to other writers and artists, but I want to clear that I'm only sharing the most intense scenes between them. There are so many panels, from Kirby and others, of Lightray faithfully following Orion around, joyously welcoming him back to New Genesis, gently teasing him, and talking about how brave and noble he is. And of Orion only smiling for Lightray, going feral when he gets hurt, and telling him he's too good and pretty for battle. And of the two of them touching each other. A lot.

Literally just two random examples. THEY DO THIS SHIT ALL THE TIME.

The next really big moment comes in New Gods (1995), where the Source (basically God/Heaven) becomes corrupted and Lightray goes evil and Orion has to beat him up to stop him and I will never ever ever recover from these pages:

"You want the beast? Do you like it?" on its own is...hoo boy, SOMETHING. But it is eclipsed by the tremulous "Maybe...maybe if I can just hold him" and Orion gathering Lightray up in his arms while telling him he loves him. LIKE. THIS IS SO MUCH. (P.S. Lightray's fine don't worry. And yes, he does want the beast.)

Then we get to Orion (PLEASE read this comic) and the biggest smile Orion has ever smolt:

Look at how happy he is!!! You need to understand that his mother died in his arms ten minutes ago and he's still like "Lightray! Omg hi!!!" (To be fair, his mother was terrible.) Plus bonus unnecessary touching, Lightray's love language being gifts, and Orion giggling and twirling his hair while going "Omg you're so smart."

(Also, when Lightray mentions his "brief but troubling visit" to Apokolips in the second panel, what's not saying is that he put on a silly disguise and went to see a fortuneteller to try to figure out if Orion's mom was lying about Darkseid not being his real dad (she was; again, she was terrible), and when the fortuneteller is like "You DARE come to Apokolips?!" he goes "I would dare anything for my friend!" I know you would, honey. I know you would.)

The next bit requires some explanation. So, as briefly as possible: Orion kills Darkseid (or so he thinks), takes over Apokolips, and tries very hard to change it for the better. He also accidentally gains possession of the Anti-Life Equation, the formula Darkseid is always searching for that eradicates free will, and gradually is driven to use it to FORCE everyone on Apokolips to be good. And Earth. And New Genesis.

Eventually, Orion is seemingly killed, but actually he's been teleported somewhere unfathomably far away, where he realizes what he's done and sinks into suicidal despair. In the midst of this, he manages to both destroy the Anti-Life Equation AND save all of reality (and nearly die in the process), but he still thinks that because he used the Equation, he's irredeemable and doesn't deserve to exist.

So when he's teleported back to Earth and captured by a human who blinds him and rigs him up to a torture device so that he can drain Orion's life force and use it to be eternally youthful, Orion just...lets it happen. Because he thinks he deserves it. For SEVEN MONTHS.

But eventually he's like "Wait...I deserve this, but probably whatever is being done with my energy is not good and I should stop it." He tries to escape but only manages to let out a single scream.

Luckily, Lightray has been searching for him nonstop for those seven months, despite the face that Orion is supposed to be dead. And then we get this:

To be clear: this is sweet, gentle Lightray absolutely obliterating the men who kept Orion in the torture device.

Nakey.

Lightray gives Orion the crushed remnants of his wrist cuffs, and Orion does a magical girl transformation about it:

For everyone playing along at home, that's the second time Orion has canonically told Lightray that he loves him.

Anyway, Orion goes off to get revenge on the guy who did this to him (it's very satisfying, please read Orion), and then he's depressed some more until he has some brotherly bonding time with Scott and finally feels well enough to go back to New Genesis. His last line of dialogue in the series is "For it is late, and the sunrise and friend Lightray await us in the gleaming city of the gods." OKAY!

Tragically, almost every New Gods appearance after this is complete dogshit, although there is a great moment in Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps (a Rebirth series) where they need information from Orion but he's comatose so they bring in a telepath and the only word he can get out of Orion's mind is "Lightray." I'LL BET.

IN CONCLUSION: Orion and Lightray love each other so so much and I believe it is honoring Jack Kirby's legacy to think about them smooching. It's what the King would have wanted!

[gotasenseivebeenbetrayed]

I'm sorry (not really) but, I think this is 100% her acting out and being petty for multiple reasons: 1) it also probably will probably hit Joe, and she's salty over his recent interview. But the main reason being 2) she seems to have been screaming out for Harry to reach out for a while now and I'm gonna assume he either hasn't or he did briefly and it didn't go how she wanted. We know they both troll each other but, we also know Tay specifically can be a bit petty when she doesn't get what she wants. The fact she's been doing pretty much only Haylor songs while in London (aside from yesterday which was def. a dig at Scooty) while Travis is there and now bringing him on stage - all while pretty much screaming for Harry to reach out and how she isn't over him but trying to "convince" herself she is..really gives me the vibe she's putting on a show to irritate him or piss him off enough into reaching out.

Also, wanna note: interesting we all saw the similarities between Us and Clean and she plays all 1989 (aka Harry) songs and then Us as her surprise songs gives me the idea it def. is about Harry like we thought.

Also interesting she brinfs Trav out during the song and act where she's telling us she's broken hearted but putting on a show for us and everyone around her and playing at being happy. JS, that as irritating as it is to see..it also doesn't look good for Trav either lmao.

Oh and she wore watermelon colors again.

I'll be honest, I know some of us think they might be pure PR. I really don't think they are. I think they really are in a relationship and like each other and I do think they are cute and enjoy seeing Tay happy again. However, I do think she's settling since she can't have Harry. And I do kinda feel bad because I don't think Trav realizes any of this. 🥴

@marauders-rarepair-fics prompt: breakup words: 802 pair: emmary (Emmeline x Mary)

“Hey, what are you doing here?” Emmeline asks confused as she opens the door of her dormitory room. It’s the middle of the night and the knocking on her door woke her up. “Oh, did I wake you?” Mary counters. She runs a hand through her hair which is something she always does when she’s either very nervous or very distressed. If not for the fact that Mary looks like she’s been crying or that her voice sounds extremely hoarse, Emmeline would’ve probably been pissed that she woke her at this ungodly hour.

“No, I just took a short nap.” Emmeline answers gently. Oh, who is she kidding? Of course she wouldn’t have been pissed. Mary could’ve knocked anytime and Emmeline’s whole attention would immediately be on her. She has had a crush on Mary for God knows how long. But sadly enough, Mary was already in a relationship. Just thinking about Mary and Lily together makes Emmeline’s heart ache. If it was a boy, she would’ve at least known that she never had a chance. But it’s Lily. Wonderful, thoughtful, funny Lily. A girl. Emmeline likes Lily, she really does. For one, they have been friends since their first year at high school. For another, she makes Mary immensely happy. And that’s all Emmeline can hope for. Still, she wishes she could be the one at Mary’s side.

“Can I come in?” Mary asks warily. Half a year ago, she would’ve never asked that question. Half a year ago, Emmeline and Mary were inseparable. Half a year ago, Mary was not in a relationship. It’s not because of Lily. Lily tried really hard to maintain their friendship. She really did everything. But Emmeline couldn’t bear seeing Mary being happy with someone else all the time. So she distanced herself more from them to keep herself from breaking down over and over again. Now, it sometimes feels like Mary and Emmeline are strangers to each other.

“Yeah, sure.” Emmeline steps aside to let Mary through. She gestures to the bed to encourage Mary to sit there. Her room is not very big, so the only other option to not sit directly next to Mary is her desk chair. “So, what’s up? And don’t lie to me, I see the tearstains on your face.” “Lily and I broke up.” Mary suddenly looks directly at Emmeline. More tears are starting to flow. Emmeline just freezes. They broke up?!  What could possibly have let to their breakup? Just three days ago, she saw them at Dorcas’ birthday party being very happy. “What happened?” Emmeline asks concerned, moving to sit next to her on the bed. She can worry later about how being this close to Mary might affect her. The top priority right now is Mary.

“I….I don’t know. We-we were happy, you know? I-I mean, we loved each other. And…it just hurts so so much.” Mary starts to wipe aggressively over her eyes. “She-she’s in love with someone else. Someone not me. How, Em? How? I didn’t even notice her losing interest in me. What did I do to make her fall out of love with me? What, Em?” Emmeline’s heart breaks again. Seeing Mary like this, sad and on the verge of having a mental breakdown, opens the gates to the feelings she once hid there. Now, they roll over her and it feels as if they were never gone.

Hesitantly, she puts a hand on Mary’s shoulder to try and comfort her. She doesn’t know what to say, doesn’t have any encouraging words to give. “But…I mean….it would’ve been fine if she just told me. If she told me, she doesn’t love me anymore….it would’ve been okay. It’s just…do you know how much it hurts to discover that someone doesn’t love you the way you thought they would? And not only that, but…I saw them together. I saw how they look at each other. And how was I supposed to live with that? To know that I want someone who clearly doesn’t want me. It’s not fair.” Mary looks directly at Emmeline. Her brown eyes, wet and red from crying, lock with Emmeline’s. All the hurt and all the pain is visible in one single look. “Did you talk to her?” Emmeline asks carefully, scooting closer to Mary. “I confronted her about my feelings and…and asked her if she…if she still loves me. And she admitted it. The love of my life admitted that she…she doesn’t love me any…anymore.” Another wave of sobs shocks through Mary, making her sound weak and small. And the only thing Emmeline can do, is hug her. She embraces Mary, the love of her life, in her arms to comfort her because the love of her life broke up with her. Love really works in twisted ways.

Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh I know

Oh-oh no, oh no, oh no, oh I know

I run shit in this house

Like I was now or never

With no effort

I bet you I could change my name to Klaus

Or something mildly Flemish

Pick up a Saudi chemist

From an Orange County dentist

Ouch, I'm whistling, trading and eating

Now poetry readings at AA meetings

I text you pictures of my keister

I'm serving some dead bodies from a Middle-Eastern skirmish

Damn, I'm oh so scooty

A bro gropes boobies

Have sex with Snow White

At the gym, on pedal bikes

Replenishing electrolytes

Your honor

I dip my junk in the fondue

Told boring stories, show my blonde pubes

I'm from the church of Satan's archdiocese

So I fart fire pits and heart giant tits

Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh I know

Oh-oh no, oh no, oh no, oh I know

I'm a prick

All of our inane dialogue

And my day's minutia gets micro-blogged

Ew, does it smell like Fido the dog?

In gray Pumas

I look like Sideshow Bob

Urinate in what the cod-fish swims in

Who was to think, I'm God's gift to women

Flirted with about 30 Asian chicks with herniated disks

Eating turkey bacon bits

Busdriver: Nigga?

Pillow Talk: Oh hey boo, how you be?

There it is, my friendship's like a health plan

I think all the multi-tiered colored telegram

The movie trailer leaked

Well I hope they get the plumber's putty

My script writing takes 3 Welsh understudies

I enjoy the convos of the water buffalo

Hoes stop and hold I'm rocks sold through the double O's

Y'all niggas too think I'm a hot date

With a Prop 8 slashed out on my ballot box

Salad tossed into a chocolate cake 'cause I'm so cute

My hoes they look at me and their water break

And babies pop out with one gold tooth

Oh no, oh no, oh no, oh I know

Oh-oh no, oh no, oh no, oh I know

Oh I came across a yt video of a show something called doc zone and this episode was about figure skating (from like 2012 i think) and Scott and tessa are in it and also Patrick chan. And so in this theres a part where they talk about lifts right and tessa goes i trust Scott not to drop me and from the experience of him never having dropped me and Scott butts in to say not to jinx it and that she can start saying that at the end of their careers and I just thought that was really sweet. You might allready now of this but its the first time ive come across it. Also I know we dont like marina anymore but the way she talks about them in this is so precious.

Yes I’ve seen it 🥰 best bit is VM coming into the rink to warm up and Scootie giving some super high swingy legs 😍🤸‍♂️

And yeah I mean I try not to form any solid opinions about anyone in VM’s world bc I don’t know them and I’d certainly say I dont like Marina but of course things were different back then..

I was once leaving after dinner at a restaurant and i saw a guy sitting on a scooty outside the restaurant wearing a white hoodie, white shorts and white jordans and he looked so insanely beautiful i can't speak of it. Dude was personified starlight. Shone like a diamond on my beloved's neck. He was so beautiful and his hair hung over his face and oh God i don't remember his face and i really want to see him again.
