[ID: 6 digital artworks featuring characters from Mob Psycho 100. The 1st has Serizawa sitting down, a transparent, folded umbrella resting between his arms as he observes a light drizzle with a peacful expression on his face. The 2nd image is a stylized doodle of Reigen, doing his signature arm flapping as he grins cockly at the audience. The background has the words "The Greatest Psychic of the 21st Century" framing the change of colors. The next two images are shitpost doodles, the first consisting of the Spirits & Such team dynamics including Tome reflecting Reigen's hand gestures, Reigen looking up "How to explode cockroaches and rowdy teenage employees with mind" on his phone, and Serizawa and Tome discussing Pokemon while not noticing Reigen falling into a fountain. The other image depicts the artist and friend talking during a Discord call, as the artist (in joking distress) exclaims, "My gay boyfriend wouldn't treat me like this!!!!", and the friend asks, "Your what??". The artist, with a casual expression, then emphasizes, "My gay boyfriend". Then, while pointing at a small image of Reigen with the rainbow flag superimposed over it, he reiterates, "My boyfriend that is gay". The next drawing features more doodles, Serizawa and Reigen to the left, both flustered, holding flowers behind their backs as they greet each other. Meanwhile, to the right, there's another shitpost comic where a confused Dimple zooms over to Mob and exclaims, "SHIGEO!! ARE GAY PEOPLE REAL??". Mob, while sporting a rainbow flag pin, holding Teruki Hanazawa's hand, and in an area with various other Mob Psycho 100 characters covered in rainbow memorabilia, responds with, "No Dimple". Dimple, seemingly satisfied with the answer, says "Oh ok" as he flies away and Tome does a skateboard trick. The final image has the artist drawn over the "Keanu Reeves Smoking on the Balcony" meme, with inages of Reigen and Serizawa floating around his head. The caption reads, "Autism Moment? Feels like an Autism Lifetime". End ID]

Ok ok so, the other day I skateboarded to the grocery store and it made me think Tim Drake would have absolutely had a skateboard with himself as Robin on it. Cities and towns LOVE to capitalize on their cryptids and urban legends (from someone who grew up in a cryptid centric city) so ofc as soon as The Bat hit the streets there would be unregulated merch of him, bc who’s gonna stop them??? The anonymous vigilante??? Absolutely no shot.
Anyways. Back to my point- young teenager Tim was known as the Robin with a skateboard (it’s a hobby, a way around after he lost Redbird privileges, he loves it) and even designed his Redboard specifically with the Robin logo, so ofc when he sees the shitty little Gotham City Sk8s store by the park has a board with HIS Robin on it, he has to have it. Look me in the eyes and show me a teenage boy with enough money who wouldn’t buy themselves on usable merch.
The headcanon brain worm got to me and I ended up designing and doing a 3D mockup of the thing (complete with the badly designed freebie sticker that came from the store with purchase), if it continues to munch away at my focus I might even write a fic abt it later kdjfkmdkdks (also tumblr said my gif file was too big </3 so y’all get a lil mp4 instead Ou<)
Still image showcase and original design art below the cut >:P

!! CHAPTER 7 / DIASOMNIA ARC SPOILERS !!
Ok I didn't expect Ace's Dream to end up this way, so now I have to tell you guys about it too:
The gang lands in a beach and Cater's having fun with Silver's UM, even taking a video but needing music as an overlay because of Grim's screams 😭. It's quite hot and Sebek asks if we're in Ace's hometown, that's when Deuce replies that Ace lives near the capital of Queendom of Roses while he lives in the southern area.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We also learn more about Cater and Idia as we're exploring the area. Other than skateboarding, Cater also likes to surf and snowboard. Idia tries to talk smack but Ortho butts in by telling the group that he's just like Cater as he rode a vehicle called a "Barca" to race around Island of Woe (and apparently you need a broomstick license and a special vehicle license to handle one).
We reach a vacation house where we find Ace, who's happy to see Deuce, Cater, Yuu and Grim, but is surprised to see the others (Leona, Idia, Silver and Sebek)
Tumblr media
We also see Riddle in this dream, who's all decked out in vacation wear (from the Stitch event) that even Cater's surprised. But Dream! Riddle simply wanted to dress the part and even pulled Cater aside for a bit to asked if he looked weird. Sebek thinks that there's no way Riddle would wear something like that irl and that's just Ace's personlaity showing while Silver doesn't see anything wrong as Riddle said this is what people on the beach.
Tumblr media
Trey also shows up wearing the Silk City outfit. It turns out that Trey's clothes, the house, and island they're all currently in were lended to them by Kalim's family. Dream! Trey asks Cater why he's in his dorm uniform when he was wearing something different earlier while taking pictures. Cater plays along by saying that he didn't want to get them dirty while cooking, which Dream! Trey believed.
Tumblr media
Ace asks us if we want to change our clothes because our dorm uniform looks really stuffy with the weather right now. Leona warns Yuu to not get carried away. We find out that Ace's dream is a celebration for Yuu...because they found a way back to their world. Riddle explains further that not only has Crowley found a way to return Yuu to their world, but he also found a way for Yuu to visit Twisted Wonderland anytime they want to. Stop I'm not okay it's the way that Ace's dream is just wanting people to continue on with their studies safely and Yuu gets to go back home and visit them anytime is just 😭💔
Dream! Riddle suggests that Deuce and the others should go change to more fitting clothes for this occasion. While Cater volunteers with Idia, Leona and Silver to help Trey with the cooking, but really he just uses it as an excuse to discuss what he has observed. He tells Leona about the plan to look out for Ace as Dream! Riddle and Dream! Trey are most likely darkness, and Leona's impressed with how fast he's catching up with the dream mechanics. Even Idia finds it a bit creepy.
Tumblr media
But Cater's already used to making the first move to avoid conflict. His plan was to use the first years as they're the only ones who are closer to Ace, meaning that they have a better chance of cracking him while the others keep the NPCs distracted. While the seniors are helping the NPCs, the freshmen are trying to brew up a plan. Ortho brings up the clue having needing a big "shock" from reality, but Sebek said he's useless here since he only meets Ace in electives and let's the main gang handle it.
Deuce goes first, telling Ace that this is all just a dream created by Malleus and that they still haven't found a way for Yuu to go home. He also brings up that we still haven't contacted Mickey yet, Ace doesn't believe them but Deuce (with Grim this time) continue to push him further; this causes him (Ace) to start to disorient. Deuce tells Ace to calm down but he thinks they're just lying but Ortho vouches for them and tells him that they're not. It even goes to the point of Ace asking Yuu if what they're saying is true.
Grim latches himself onto Ace, repeatedly screaming that they're not lying; triggering another flashback. But Ace just chews us out for taking the joke too far, and that we shouldn't ruin the vibes of the vacation. That's when Sebek butts in, calling Ace shallow for ignoring the pleas of his friends. But Ace counters that Sebek couldn't read the room for randomly joining a vacation he has no involvement in.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sebek replies that he didn't even want to go with the others, but here's just here because he needs to wake Ace up. But Ace's response to the whole dream thing is just him being apathetic, not caring if it's reality or not. Because he thinks if you've lived in a dream long enough, it's not longer a dream isn't it? But a new reality, and not a lot of people can say they're living life without hardship. It's like he already weighed all the outcomes and possibilities of the situation he's in.
Sebek argues back that he cares about Malleus, which is why he and Silver are trying to wake everyone to save him. Because to him, he doesn't want to continue if it means leaving Malleus alone. But Ace doesn't sympathize, he actually blames Malleus for their current predicament and if he gets lonely; he brought it upon himself. To Ace, Sebek's being selfish for ruining his dream just to go and save the one who caused the problem to happen; and to ask Ace's help to defeat Malleus? That's pretty much a death sentence (now Ace isn't exactly a saint either, both are selfish as to how much are they willing to sacrifice for the people they care about). Ace runs away, and that's when Ortho asks the question: if it were someone else, would Sebek hold the same dedication to wake everyone up? Deuce blames Sebek for this, whihc he goes "HUH? WHY ME?!"
Tumblr media
Ortho agress with Deuce, Sebek got too emotional and Ace had a point with what he was saying. Sebek tries to defend himself by saying that it's for Malleus and Lilia but what he did is still considered selfish by anyone's standards. Even Ortho admits that's he's selfish too, and also helped because Idia was in trouble; not everyone is forced to do this.
The seniors are back and they all agree with Ace that he isn't exactly necessary to the plan. We actually get to see Silver get mad at Sebek for causing this whole mess, not realizing that his behavior does have consequences. Once again, Sebek tries defending himself but Silver wasn't having it; leaving him no choice but to submit.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Idia says that even if everyone teams up, it's not guaranteed that they can defeat Malleus and Silver prefers not to force people to fight. Even Leona acknowledges that Ace's current magical prowess is just that of an ordinary mage, and that they can simply move on without him (Deuce, Yuu and Grim are saddened by this).
Cater says that Ace is probably frustrated and alone right now, so he chooses to look for him to help him "sleep" without the interference of Leona or Idia. Cater leaves with Yuu, Grim, and Deuce going after him (the others follow suit too just to make sure nothing bad happens). Yuu catches up with him and tries to convince to let them talk to Ace one more time. But Cater affirms that he doesn't intend to leave Ace here and has a plan (awww)
Tumblr media
So Cater was right, he finsd Ace alone thinking about the things the others have told him. He lends an ear as he listens to Ace rant about the whole thing, and he agrees that his reaction to everything was normal; but then he suddenly goes "what they're saying is actually true tho" then HE SUMMONS HIS CLONES TO BEAT ACE'S ASS NAURRR 😭😭😭
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This causes Dream! Riddle and Dream! Trey to appear and they're mad at Cater for attacking Ace. EVEN DREAM! DEUCE AND DREAM! CATER APPEAR but they just take Ace away. Ortho tries to intervene but the others stop him. With Leona telling the others that Cater asked to not be interfered and Deuce adding that it was also his plan to find a way to trigger the darkness.
Cater's plan is working, as Ace starts to become aware of his surroundings; that the things his dorm mates are saying are stuff they wouldn't say in real life. He also points out that how can someone like him help defeat Malleus, and that he's scared. The darkness actually reveals Ace's vulnerable side and we're just watching it from afar. Silver notices that Ace is being persuaded by the darkness but Idia knows that Ace is clever, that's when Leona chimes in that Ace realizes that there's always going to be someone stronger than him, thus knowing his limits. That's when Idia's like "brotha aren't you just talking about yourself?", cue Leona trying to break his tablet.
Tumblr media
We also learn more about how the Dark Mirror chooses its students, while the qualities in which one gets sorted into a dorm remains vague it usually chooses people who leave a mark on history in the future.
Okay going back to Ace, Cater brings up that time during Riddle's overblot and about how quick they were to jump into action. He thanks him for inspiring to fight against their Housewarden that day, also adding that going into fights that are "winnable" seem lame and that he's scared too, but they have to fight. Ace actually starts crying, because he doesn't want to look like a coward and that's what wakes him up.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Cater helps Ace out of the darkness and calls for the others for backup. After that, Grim and Deuce are mad at Ace for trying to stay in the dream. He also nags to Cater about him using his UM on him, but it was the only way to get him to wake up. They show Ace the video and now his pissed at Malleus, but Grim's like "weren't you scared of him earlier???".
Silver thanks Ace for his help and also apologizes for Sebek's behavior, in which Ace blames Lilia and Silver for spoiling him and Sebek's like "I'M NOT SPOILED BY SILVER 😡". Ortho did mention that Sebek looked awkward after their argument and suggests that he should apologize but Idia replies that he has too much of a pride to do so. Ace just bullies Sebek lmao, forgiving him with his "whole heart".
Tumblr media
Cater steps in before it gets any worse, and we get ADeuce saying "Dream Form Change" now. Ace still doesn't want to fight Malleus, but given the circumstance he doesn't really have a choice. Once shown his dummy version, Grim just laughs at his outfit and Cater comments on the fruits
Tumblr media
The dream ends with the first years complaining about how cramped it is and Leona just tells Silver to get on with it.
And that ends Ace's Dream, took me awhile to get this out because we actually learn a lot about him in this one and I really tried my best to give him justice yknow?
We're off to Trey's Dream next, see you then!
Previous: Cater's Dream Next: Trey's Dream

ok so in my au where andrew comes to live with aaron and tilda when he's 13, he spends the first three or four weeks there completely ignoring aaron. he says maybe 10 words to him the entire time, despite aaron desperately trying to connect with him. he follows andrew around, sits with him at lunch, offers andrew his clothes and games and skateboard and uses the little money he has to buy andrew the candy he noticed him eating, but andrew continues to ignore him.
aaron starts getting nightmares. sometimes it's that he and andrew get separated in a maze or at school and he can't find him, or that andrew was taken back by his foster family or tilda kicked him out, or that andrew disappeared and everyone acts like he was never there. the nightmares and andrew's continued silence start to fuck with his anxiety to the point that he's terrified that he'll wake up one day and andrew will be gone.
they share a room, so aaron waits until andrew's asleep and gathers his blankets and sleeps on the floor by andrew's bed, waking up to move back to his own bed before andrew wakes up. he gets away with this for a few nights until andrew catches him and demands to know what the fuck he's doing.
so aaron has to explain that he wants to be sure that if andrew ran away in the middle of the night he'd stumble over aaron and wake him up so aaron could say goodbye.
andrew calls him stupid and makes him sleep in his own bed. but he stops ignoring aaron after that.

Learning You...
Mikey ♡
Tumblr media
[Bayverse] Slowly getting to know Mikey ♡
Leo ♡⁠˖ Donnie ♡⁠˖ Raph♡⁠˖
Tumblr media
Meeting Him:
You met through April, her thinking you two would hit it off
(and knows Mikey wants more friends)
He immediately starts flirting with you
You just start giggling, realizing it's just his personality
You both have been joined at the hip since then
I'm sorry this is so short but I feel like with Mikey you wouldn't take long to become friends!
Befriending him
You and Mikey have competitions to see who can eat the most pizza
Or beat the other in a video game
But you just giggle it off as Mikey being mikey
Or skate better
AKA, Competitions all around
Very friendly, giggly, joking Competitions
You'll have long movie marathons, with Mikey and you making fun of the movies (we all know he can't sit still for long)
He is constantly flirting with you "Angel cakes, baby, sweetcheeks, Babycakes" you name it
But you just giggle it off as Mikey being Mikey
Eventually you both are trying out pick up lines on each other
This always ends in huge laughing fits that are so loud even Even can hear them
Honestly? Y'all are just like those elementary school best friends on the playground
"I'd die for you, you're my bff"
"omg so would I!! You're MY bff"
You'll start inviting Mikey over so you two can get some time off, show him around your apartment/house
If you have any, and I mean ANY pets, he is in love immediately
You two will watch TV shows for hours
If y'all end up watching Euphoria, he'll say "wow your highschool must've had drama novela style"
You'll have to explain to him that no, most high schoolers aren't doing hard drugs in the bathroom, and that yes, maybe a few hook up in the school bathrooms
All in all, you and Mikey hit it off right away and have a friendship even the mane six from my little pony would be jealous of
First Date
Your first date takes... awhile to be honest
With Mikey always flirting with you, you can't tell the difference between joking, and Mikey trying to ask you out
Mikey goes to April for advice
She tells him that, it's not really special when he talks like that to everyone
So, Mikey thinks of a plan
Influenced a little bit by Leo
He brings you a box of pizza to your place
And when you open it, it's a heart pizza, and in the box in sharpie is written "will you be my only love?" With Classic by MKTO playing in the background
You two stay the night at your place, playing video games, watching TV shows (you show him reality TV and he is hooked.)
At the end of the night, Mikey is confident and leans in for a kiss
If you kiss him back, after he'll be breakdancing a "victory dance" in your living room
If you pull away and say you don't kiss on the first date
Hell immediately start planning your second, third, fourth date and, if you let him, your wedding
Dating
Mikey is very touchy
He loves PDA and physical affection in general
If you do too, you can't keep your hands off of eachother
His brothers, don't appreciate it
If you don't like PDA or physical affection as much (in public) he will have a pillow to hold and cuddle with while he holds your hand
He doesn't care if he has to wait for you to be comfy for physical affection
In his words "my sexy Angel cakes, no need to rush, imma have you forever, right?"
Omg he is so sweet
His brothers are kind of happy he has you now tho, you entertain almost all of his ideas, and Mikey never feels stupid or dumb around you
You even encourage him to try some of his (non dangerous) ideas, just so you two can see what happens
I can totally see Mikey teaching you to ride on a skateboard
Thankfully his "powerful lou jitsu ninja skills" as he puts it, give him the reflexes to always catch you
If you don't get the hang of it, that's ok!
Mikey loves it when you and him share his skateboard,
His two favorite things, you and skateboarding (all that's missing is pizza)
You'll go to skateparks that are either closed down
Or just closed at night with no one there at night
You bring a calming presence to his chaos
Always encouraging him to try things, but within safe limits
Mikey brings out an adventurous side of you tho
He loves cuddling you, big spoon or little spoon, you on top, him on top, he doesn't care!
Dating Mikey means pizza, skating, adventure, movies and gaming

Obx Headcanons Part 1|What Gifts to Give them
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Any gender, SFW, romantic or platonic, no warnings (except JJ and Rafe by themselves?)
—Header from saradika-graphics—
JJ:
Get him a new surfboard, surfboard polish, a surfboard stand— ok, we get it, he loves surfboards. 
A new pair of sunglasses or a skateboard would also send this man crazy.
(And if we’re being honest, he’d love a nice shiny new gun 😂.)
He’s likely to be pretty chilled out about receiving gifts, unless his inner child happens to be out and he starts running around the house like your dog when they get the Zoomies.
Kinda like this.
Rafe:
(Help, it keeps autocorrecting to Rage.) 
Rafe would be surprised to get a gift from you in the first place, but don’t take his awkwardness as him being ungrateful. 
He’d appreciate anything you get for him (hopefully) and try his shot on finding something for you as well. It’ll be store-bought but hey, it’s the thought that counts.
As for what to get him, let it be anything but cocaine or alcohol. We all know the reasons why this is a bad idea. 
Just find him a nice tie or fancy ring, and he’ll be perfectly happy. Cologne, anyone?
Kiara:
Kiara, whether you’re a friend or dating, would be super grateful about receiving a gift no matter what it is.
In the case that she doesn’t like it, which isn’t likely, well, at least there’s the gift receipt. (Right?)
She’d love some handmade jewelry or something crafty, possibly something nature-related per her activist persona. (Maybe a small wooden whale to place on her nightstand?)
If it’s jewelry, you can expect her to wear it every day of the week and show it to her friends —(“Guys, look at the ___ y/n got me! Isn’t it gorgeous?”)— whilst taking good care of it.
Pope:
Pope is probably one of the best when it comes to gift giving— He’ll be chill with a smile on his face, polite as he always is.
Really though, he’s grateful. If you’re dating, don’t be surprised to see a blush on his face. On second thought, he might blush anyway out of embarrassment.
A nice book or a quality pack of pencils is all you need to make him happy.
If you’re leaning away from the nerdier side, how about a new hiking backpack or a fishing rod?
John B:
Awkward about receiving gifts? Yes. Happy though? Also yes.
He’d love a surfboard like JJ or something that reminds him of his friends. That’s part of the spirit of Christmas, isn’t it?
A picture frame of his closest friends, a bracelet with your names on it, or a photo album of all you guys waving to him will hit right home.
Booker is John’s middle name, so he might just book it on out of there he’s so emotional— no? Nevermind.
(Side note: don’t buy him a gun like JJ.)
Sarah:
Sarah is the best at receiving gifts— case closed. She’s the sweetest thing ever; the only thing she enjoys more than recieving gifts from you are giving them. True beauty of Christmas.
Sarah will literally squeal with delight when she opens the beautiful gift you’ve wrapped just for her. Expect hand-written thank you cards sent to your address.
Cute jewelry, a stylish new sweatshirt, or her favorite box of chocolates fit her vibe.
Have a blast shopping for/with her for the holidays!
Cleo:
Gotta include my fave girl boss!
Cleo will take anything you gift her to heart. Trust me, this woman will never let an act that means so much to her go to waste.
Cleo’s gotta admit, her new friends grew on her. She’ll treasure that present of yours forever. A hug or a thank-you card good enough for thanks?
Make her something with the shells from the beach or a glamorous woven-style bag to feel unique and extra-special to her ❤️
Ooh, don’t forget about some sharpening tools for her knives~

carhusband!simon who puts your name in his passenger seat side window.

Ok obsessed skate board x reader with his gang serving as wingmen.
Play ground’s dangerous n stuff and he’s always worried abt reader, but you look so happy being free and he can’t possibly take that away! But his gang notices how down he is and so they straight up kidnap you for him one day.
Coil, Slingshot and Boombox would FAIL at being wingmen but this idea actually cooks so...
Obsessed! Skateboard x reader ❤🛹
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Skateboard would admire you from afar, but his gang just insisted on him making a move. What's the point in gushing over somebody without even trying?
He worries about you so much, Playground is a dangerous faction, especially with their rivalry between Blackrock. So, he asks his friends to talk to you regularly, just to make sure you were okay.
However, Skateboard's gang had their own idea. While they talked to you, they'd drop hints about Skateboard and how you should be with him.
Almost every day, one of Skateboard's friends would approach you and strike up a conversation. They were very friendly and easy to talk to, however, they weren't too subtle about their hinting.
"Playground's a pretty dangerous place, ain't it? If only you had someone strong and fast to protect you."
"Look at those red roses! Aren't they pretty? I think I know someone who's a cooler shade of red!"
"It must be lonely walking around Playground, huh? Luckily, I know someone who would love to explore this area with you!"
Skateboard, although appreciative of these attempts, scolds his friends for this. What if you think he got his friends to drop those hints? Would you be weirded out by him? If so, he'd never have a chance with you!
Regardless, he'd love if you picked up on those hints. If only you came up to him and told him how awesome he was. But that day would never come.
His friends notice his drop in energy, so, like they good friends they are, they decided to cheer their friend up!
"LET ME GO! HELP ME, SOMEBODY!" You screamed, thrashing and kicking in Boombox's grasp. It was late at night and you had been walking home until three Phighters had ambushed you.
"Stop screaming!" Boombox demanded, clapping his hand over your mouth, muffling your pleas for freedom. Try as you might, you couldn't free yourself from the DJ, he was too strong.
"Bring 'em here." Coil said, pulling out some rope he had brought in preparation. Boombox dragged you closer to Coil so he could tie you up.
"There, there...you're gonna make someone real happy, you know that?" He says to you, pinching your cheek after binding your wrists together. Boombox removed his hand from your mouth, and before you could scream, Coil shoved a rag into your mouth, gagging you.
"Nighty-night Y/N! We aren't gonna hurt you, we promise! You just need to be asleep for a while!" Slingshot coos from behind, winding up a baseball bat.
A blunt, hard force made contact with your head, knocking you unconscious.
Skateboard was bewildered to see his friends at his door at midnight, especially with you slung over Boombox's shoulder!
After gently setting you down on the sofa, Skateboard's friends left. Skateboard was a mixture of emotions. He felt excited, scared and satisfied.
"H-Hello, Y/N..!" He murmers, gently cupping your face as you slowly woke up. He pulled the gag out of your mouth and untied you, not wanting you to be terrified of him.
"I-I'm sorry about my friends, I was just too..uh, scared to talk to you, and my friends took matters into their own hands. The truth is, I-I really like you, alot!" Skateboard held you close during his confession, pressing a small, light kiss against your temple.
"P-Playground is really dangerous, and I want you to be safe with me! Is that okay?"
Skateboard untied you eventually, but it was pointless trying to escape because he fell asleep ontop of you after a while.
He fell asleep happily, knowing he had you beside him. Holding you tightly, he looked like a child sleeping with their teddy.
In the morning, Skateboard's friends looked at you two through the window, smiling when they saw the joy in Skateboard's eyes when he talked to you. Their friend was feeling better, and that was all that mattered. You'd be safe with him from now on!

Dick: Remember everyone, violence is never the answer.
Danny: You're right, Dick.. Violence can't be the answer.
Dick: Correct, Danny. Now, on to the next lesso-
Danny: Violence is the question.
Danny: And the answer is yes!
Dick: Danny, no!!
Dick: All right, Danny, that’s it, you’re grounded! I found a rap album hiding under your bed and it was the clean version. I didn’t raise you to be such a nerd!
Danny: I’m not even your kid-
Dick: I don’t care what anyone thinks about me.
Danny: Ok.
Dick: Wait, why such a muted reaction? Did that not sound cool?
Danny: Last night I found out Dick is a sleep talker.
Tim: Oh, really?
Danny: "The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell." Right. In. My. Ear. At 3am.
*Dick rushes by with an armful of water bottles*
Tim: What's going on?
Danny: Dick wouldn't drink water.
Tim: ...And?
Danny: And I asked him how fast he could chug an entire bottle.
Dick, loudly: 16 OUNCES IN TEN SECONDS, BITCHES!
Dick: Do you ever feel bugs on you when really there’s nothing there?
Danny: Those are the ghosts of the bugs you killed before.
Dick:
Dick: *sobs*
Tim: You fucking scared him, you idiot.
Dick: I hate to tell you this, but one of you was adopted.
Danny & Tim:
Danny: Only one...?
Danny: Is letting someone win at chess sapiosexual bottoming?
Dick: Can either of you please learn the skill called "Think Before You Speak"?
Tim: Ya know... it might be.
*Danny and Tim are fighting*
Dick, taking aspirin: I have a headache! Can you guys just be cool?!
*Danny and Tim start fighting while wearing sunglasses and riding skateboards*
Dick: Please bring home PURIFIED water with NO minerals added for taste
Danny: We got spring water
Dick: NO.
Danny: with EXTRA minerals
Danny: it's like licking a stalagmite
Dick: DON'T COME HOME.
Danny: Mmmmm cave water
Tim: Tell Danny about the birds and the bees.
Dick: They're disappearing at an alarming rate.
Batman: Listen, I can explain...
Tim!Robin: You’re making $500,000 and you’re only gonna pay me $30,000?
Nightwing: You’re getting 30 grand? I’m getting $1,000!
Phantom: You guys are getting paid?
Bruce: *Trying to fill out legal paperwork stuff* Were you guys born AMAB or AFAB?
Tim: Bold of you to assume I was born at all.
Danny: I personally was created in a lab.
Dick: I just straight up spawned lol.
Dick: Why isn’t the statue smirking at me?
Alfred: It isn’t smirking at anyone, they’re all just imagining it.
Dick: Three of us saw it, Alfred. How do you explain that?
Alfred: *points at Tim* Sleep deprivation. *points at Bruce* Paranoia. *points at Danny* Delusional personality disorder.
Tim: Why is Dick so sad?
Danny: He took one of those “Which Hero Are You?” quizzes
Tim: And...?
Danny: He got Batman
Dick, banging on the door: Danny! Open up!
Danny: Well, it all started when I was a kid...
Tim: No, he meant-
Dick: Let him finish.
Tim: You lying, cheating, piece of shit!
Danny: Oh yeah? You’re the idiot who thinks you can get away with everything you do. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD
Tim: I’m leaving you, and I’M TAKING DICK WITH ME
Dick, picking up the monopoly board: I think we’re gonna stop playing now.
Dick: Dandelions symbolize everything I want to be in life
Tim: Fluffy and dead with a gust of wind?
Dick: Unapologetic. Hard to kill. Feral, filled with sunlight, bright, beautiful in a way that the conventional and controlling hate but cannot ever fully destroy. Stubborn. Happy. Bastardous. Friends with bees. Highly disapproving of lawns. Full of wishes that will be carried far after I die.
Danny: edible
Dick: So, what, now I’m just supposed to do anything that Bruce does? I mean, what if he jumped off a cliff?
Tim: If Bruce were to jump off a cliff, he would’ve done his due diligence regarding the height of the cliff, the depth of the water, and the angle of entry, so yes. If you see Bruce jump off a cliff, by all means, jump off a cliff.
Dick: You jump off a cliff!
Tim: Gladly. Provided Bruce did first.
Danny: Why are you on the floor?
Tim: I'm depressed.
Tim: Also I was stabbed, can you get Alfred, please.
Dick: If you had to choose between Tim and all the money I have in my wallet, which would you choose?
Danny: That depends, how much money are we taking about?
Tim: Danny!
Dick: 63 cents.
Danny: I'll take the money.
Tim: Danny!!!
Danny: I'm incredibly fast at math.
Tim: Alright, what's 30x17?
Danny: 47
Tim: That's not even close.
Danny: But it was fast.
Danny: *Stubs his toe* FUCK!
Dick: Mind your language!
Danny: What else am I supposed to say, “Woe is I”???
Dick:
Danny: You have to accept that swear words are necessary sometimes.
Tim: Remember when you didn't try to solve all your problems with attempted murder?
Danny: Stop romanticizing the past.
Danny: Okay. I get it. You've had a really hard time lately, you're stressed out, seven people died-
Dick: Twelve, actually.
Danny: Not the point. Look, they're dead now and really whose fault is that?
Dick: Yours!
Danny: That's right: no one's.
Tim: I think I'm having a mid-life crisis.
Danny: You're like 15 years old
Tim: I MIGHT DIE AT 30!
Danny: I’d like to offer you moral support, but I have questionable morals.
Tim: Not trying to brag or anything, but I can wake up without an alarm clock now simply due to my crippling and overwhelming anxiety, so...
Dick: You can de-escalate any situation by simply saying, 'Are we about to kiss?'
Dick: Doesn't work for getting out of speeding tickets, by the way.
Danny: Physically, yes, I could fight a bird. But emotionally? Imagine the toll.
Tim: BEHOLD, the field in which I grow my fucks! Lay thine eyes upon it, and thou shalt see that it is barren!
Tim: What doesn't kill me should run, because now I'm fucking pissed.
Danny, threatening the others with a paintball gun: Listen... Life comes at us fast. We don't know what life is gonna give us... And today, it's gonna give you... a paintball!
Dick: I was born for politics. I have great hair and I love lying.
Danny, pre death: If I'm really as evil as you say I am, then have the gods strike me down where I stand.
*dies*
Phantom: Ha! Nice try, jackass! Next time, give it your A-game!
Shapeshifter: *transforms to look like Tim*
Tim: Okay, are you like BLIND? You look nothing like me. First off, I'm way taller. Secondly, I DO NOT look so sleep deprived and lastly, if you could drag comb through that hair you're like a 7 on a good day and I've been told I'm a constant 10.
Danny: Goodnight moon.
Danny: Goodnight tree.
Danny: Goodnight ghosts that only I can see.
Dick: People are always asking me if I'm a morning person or a night person.
Dick: And I'm just like, 'Buddy! I'm barely even a PERSON!'
Tim: You seem familiar, have I threatened you before?

Chills Right to the Marrow Part 13
part 1, prev part
There’s this feeling at the top of a roller coaster that is meant to excite, to look forward to. Where the exhilaration and adrenaline kicks in and everyone feels like the top of the world. Only for the calm to set in when the ride is over, and the line keeps growing to feel it all again.
If life were a rollercoaster, Dustin’s would be a fucked up one. Where just as the drop finishes, and everything seems to calm down, the machine starts to clink and bring you back up to the top again. Over. And Over. And Over again.
Dustin’s scared that this calm won’t be so calm tomorrow. Or in a year when life gets back to normal again, and the people in hospital are out and better, like it does. Just for it all to go to a burning pile of shitty hell. For Dustin to end up sitting in the hospital chairs again.
Never the bed.
It’s not that he’s upset that he’s healthy. It’s not that he’s upset that he’s never had to stay in the hospital for a night. It’s just the fact that while everyone else seems to get hurt, he stays perfectly fine. And he doesn’t know why.
He’s put himself in dangerous situations. Fights, tunnels, right in front of a fucking demogorgon. In all the scenarios, he should have gotten hurt. There wasn’t a book that he read where everyone walked away perfectly fine.
Frodo walked to Mordor and wasn’t fine. Neither was Samwise. Dustin’s not a Frodo or a Samwise, maybe he’s a Mary or Pippin. They didn’t walk away without a scratch either. His DnD character can’t even get out of a battle without dying.
Why is he so okay? Why have his dice always rolled so high?
And why does he seem to be more bothered that this than the people in the hospital beds?
Max is smiling and laughing right now. She’s almost like she was last summer. Making fun of them in a way that kinda stung sometimes but mostly was out of love. Not thinking about the fact that she might never ride a skateboard again. Not thinking about the fact that she won’t see the way their faces change as they grow. The way her own face will change as she grows.
Her life has changed in a way that can’t be changed back. How is she not having a bigger reaction to this?
“Hey,” Max calls out in Dustin’s direction. “Come here, I want to feel your face.”
“Huh?”
Mike groans from across the room. “She’s been doing it with everyone. It’s just an excuse to mess with you.”
Max rolls her clouded eyes. “The blind girl wants to make sure he friends are ok. There are no other ulterior motive here.”
“You’re just going to poke him in the eye or some shit.”
“My hands are my eyes now, Michael.”
Mike rolls his eyes, giving Dustin a look like “I warned you.”
Lucas gets up from the chair closest to Max to let Dustin get closer. He leans closer to the bed as Max reaches out her hands to find his face. She pokes around, finding the brim of his hat and pulls it down to his nose.
“Idiot,” Max snorts.
“Told you,” Mike says. Will smacks him in the arm.
Dustin makes a face while fixing his hat, switching seats with Lucas. And then again when El comes in. The room sounding anything like a hospital. Like Mike’s basement while they are watching movies or hanging out. Like the worst didn’t happen and just a week ago, where Max wasn’t just told she would be blind forever.
He walks out of the room and heads to Eddie’s. Eddie who’s awake, but not really. Who opens his eyes and it makes Dustin so happy. Just to see something that resembles him, but isn’t just quite it.
Happiness comes and goes so fast that Dustin almost misses it. Overshadowed by this feeling of knowing that nothing is going back to the way it was. He’ll never be the person he was before. None of them will.
That’s the worst part of this all. He’s seen the way that Will became quieter. Different in a way that none of them will really understand. Saw the way that Max shut down after Billy died. Overcome by her grief. How Steve pushes himself so hard he breaks, and Robin tries to forget it all even happened. Saw how pain can cause a person to die.
The doctors still don’t know what’s going to happen when Eddie finishes waking up. They won’t know how long he’ll still be here, or what damage is in his body. To his brain. His nerves. If he’ll be able to play guitar again. Dustin never even got to see him play a real concert. He wanted to see that.
Time keeps passing and Eddie’s missing it. Classes have restarted and he won’t catch up. Not when he’ll still be in recovery for months. He won’t be walking across that stage to get his diploma. He might not even get it at all.
Dustin takes his seat next to Wayne and just looks at Eddie. Can’t bring himself to take the book out of his bag and read. Wanting to find any sign that this was all worth it. That the painful hope that Dustin is clinging to isn’t dragging him to the bottom. That Eddie will continue to wake up tomorrow.
“You ok, Dustin?”
“Every day I come in here and wish he would say something. Anything.”
Wayne nods, as solemn as he always is. “Me too.”
“You’re back in school now, right? How’s that going?”
School is a completely different battle. The Hellfire shirt that he wore with pride is now an endless target. The insults that would already be slung his way amplified. Walking through the halls feels like shooting range. Another reminder that he knows a truth that none of them will.
“As good as you’d expect it to.”
Another nod. It’s nice to have someone listen to him without trying to fix it. Just let him talk at his own pace without trying to make it better. Make him feel any differently than he does. It brings a comfort to Dustin that he never really knew, or understands.
“Where’s that book of yours, I was starting to get invested.”
“I’m not sure I’m up for reading it today.”
Wayne shrugs. “Why don’t I then? I can’t do the voices like you or Ed do, but I can read.”
It’s like Wayne knows the real reason why Dustin’s reading the book. Makes him feel weirdly seen. Like for a moment, someone understood him more than he wanted them too.
Still, he takes the book out of his bag and hands it to Wayne. Watches as he turns to the page and messes up the character names. Take a breath each time one of the weirder ones comes up and sounds it out. Trying his best to get it all right, even though he’s still doing it a little wrong.

the gon / big sibling post was so cutee i <3 him! would you mind doing one for killua? i know he has sibling but he deserves loving siblings 😭<3
Killua with Older Sibling! Reader
Tumblr media
Characters: Killua Zoldyck Type: Mainly fluff, Headcanons, Gn!reader
I agree! Poor baby deserves sm better </3 this was a little harder for me to write than Gon's but I hope you like it
Warnings: none
Tumblr media
you're definitely his favorite older sibling
we all know how he is with Illumi and Milluki :(
you guys would play with his action figures together
he doesn't mind sharing his chocolate robots with you <3
the rest of the family definitely yell at you for "babying" him
you're constantly defending him from Illumi
there's been multiple occasions you've fought him for being a poopie head to Killua >:(
you're the one who introduced him to different hobbies, trying to find something for him to do (other than being an assassin)
he likes to skateboard with you even if you're not good at it
he laughs at you every time you fall but it's ok because at least he's having fun
he also liked to wrestle or play fight with you
his favorite thing is probably beating you in video games, he gets smug every time he does
as he got older Killua felt like you were the only sibling of his he could actually trust
despite the crazy training both of you were put through you always made sure that he knew it in fact was not normal and that siblings should be loving towards each other
and whether it was on purpose or not, you were the reason he decided to run away
you taught him he was worth so much more than how the rest of the family treated him so he decided to run away in hopes of finding better things :(
when he comes back and is locked away, thats when you catch wind of his friends being at the butlers quarters
and that's when you meet them
you're glad that Killua managed to make friends and hoped it would help him start to heal
if you decide to go to Heavens Arena with Killua and Gon, that's when the three of you bond the most
you help teach them basic fighting skills before wing comes along
you 3 become like a little family
ignoring the plot, you like to bring Killua and Gon places and watching them have fun <3

Prologue: Me & You
Tumblr media
Note: I caved in🤣. Here we goo! let know if ya wanna be tagged in anything.
(inspired by the song Me & You By Cassie)
Word count: 1675 (I got a tad bit carried away)
Warnings: None....for now
Tumblr media
Charcters
Prologue: Me & You
Rushing past the sea of multicolored scrubs; balloons & flowers for loved one's and the sound of phones going off from patients or guardians, this has been my life since I graduated. There's never a dull moment in the hospital. Some would say it’s tedious, while others would say it’s stressful. Yet there are those who tell us that their copay is too high.
Today was just like any other day except I had a little kid, no older than 12, going in for cast removal. And boy was she happy to see me.
“Nurse Ronnie!” Her voice chirped as she saw me walk in, with her parents in the room. 
“Sophia. I’m glad I was called in to be here with you today.” I gave her a quick hug after greeting her parents first and foremost. The two were antsy the first time we met because their daughter fell off her skateboard and didn't know what to do. Luckily, they weren’t too panicked as some parents would be.
“I am too. I am getting my cast off, and I wanted you to help Dr. Tyler.” She had a bright grin on her face while telling me the big news.
I smiled back and then got prepared for the event. “Well I’m happy to help in any way I can. Ready?”
Cynthia Tyler was the best doctor when it came to children, and a college roommate of mine at Evergreen Southern. Knowing her skill set and drive made the job easier to come in everyday. Plus she’s engaged to one of my brothers, which is an added bonus. 
Sophia nodded eagerly and took a deep breath like we practiced all those times before. She even enjoyed my singing when I would check her vitals, and called me the singing nurse. The nickname stuck with me, and took off at company gatherings for karaoke. 
As I grabbed the instruments I needed, she asked me, “Can you sing with me as you move the tiny saw?”
“Sure can.” A gentle smile was etched on my face, then I began to sing while moving the saw along her right lw. “Brown skinned, girl. Your skin just like pearls.”
With a toothy grin, she joined. “The most beautiful thing in the world. Never trade you for anybody else. Singin’ brown skin girl, your skin just like pearls.”
Moving further down, I continued with the saw to crack the top half open. “The best thing in the world. I never trade you for anybody else, singin’. She said she really grew up poor like me. Don't believe in nothin' but the Almighty. Just a likkle jeans and a pure white tee, She never did forever be nobody wifey, yeah. So while I may not pretty boy, your heart is amiss.”
“Play it like a villain 'cause she caught in a wave. Tonight I am walkin' away 9 to 5 mind, on the grind, yeah, yeah.” She smiled and giggled gently as she felt the cool air hit her leg for first time in a year.
“Tonight I might fall in love, dependin' on how you hold me. I'm glad that I'm calmin' down, can't let no one come control me. Keep dancin' and call it love, she fightin' but fallin' slowly. If ever you are in doubt, remember what mama told me.”
Then we both joined together as I got to the bottom of the cast. “Brown skin girl, ya skin just like pearls. Your back against the world. I never trade you for anybody else, say. Brown skin girl, ya skin just like pearls, The best thing inna di world. I never trade you for anybody else, say.”
“I can finally see my leg!” Sophia had cheered happily as she looked down at it. “Thank you!” She was happier than a Junebug in the summer.
“You’re very welcome my dear. Just make sure to wear your knee pads next time, like your parents tell you to. Ok?” I nodded towards her parents and her father chimed in.
“You hear that ladybug? Make sure you wear all your gear next time, all the time even. We aren’t saying it for our health and safety but yours.” Her mother nodded in agreement.
“Alright, sounds like an even front for all. I’ll let Dr. Tyler asses everything, get you settled on what you need to do and let you head on home.” Discarding my gloves in the waste bin, I headed out the room to see a few folks standing out in the hallway.
“Who was that singing?” One of the nurses, Ciara, asked me.
“Me and my patient, who I helped get her cast off.” I answered with a smile. “She had always asked me to sing whenever she came in.”
“Well keep up the good work then.” She chuckled and went on about her business.
“Oh I plan to.” Sending a wink in her direction, I headed back to my station to gather my stuff for the day. But I still had the song in my head. So knowing me, I kept singing.
“Pose like a trophy when Naomi's walk in. She need an Oscar for that pretty dark skin. Pretty like Lupita when the cameras close in. Drip broke the levee when my Kellys roll in. I think tonight she might braid her braids, Melanin too dark to throw her shade. She minds her business and wines her waist. Gold like 24k, okay.” Singing gently to myself, feeling the soul within the song just made my day better.
That is until I got an update on a patient that we had gotten a few days ago. “Dupree! I got an update on that one patient, I had you help out a bit ago.” Denise had pulled me to the side and typed away on the keyboard.
The files were flooding the screen, popping up left and right, until she found the right one. “Samaritan Hospital, miles away from us. Luckily the small hospital keeps others informed anyway just in case.” She continued. “Mike Simmons, right?”
“Yeah that’s him, from what you told me.” I racked through the notes myself, looking for answers. “Damn it. He got stabbed in prison; taken to Samaritan and passed there.” 
The nerves I had coursing through me were on edge. It’s a shame what happened to him, given the injustice going on. The more I looked at his picture, the more familiar he seemed.
“And this happened weeks ago?” I deeply sighed as I sat down next to her. “Any family listed on his file? Visitation records.” I couldn’t figure it out for the life of me, where else I had seen his face from. Sometimes relatives do look like, depending on which side they’re on.
Denise went typing away like the detective she is at times. “Just one person.” She stated clearly, and kept typing. Before she could start her sentence, I looked up and saw someone talking to one of the doctors that looked all too familiar. 
“Terrance Richmond.” I stated plainly, with a gentle smile on my face. He turned around and flashed his million dollar smile back at me. 
“Veronica Dupree. Long time no see.” His voice sounded like it was coated in honey, and smooth as whiskey. Something that brought back memories, and haunted my dreams.
Denise was still eying her screen. “Yeah, that’s him. How’d you know that?” I nudged her slightly, she looked up and uttered a gentle “Damn, that man is fine.” Luckily only I heard her. Was she lying though?
“Likewise.” I made my way around the counter and stood by him, gesturing to him to follow me to talk. “We’ll talk later Denise.”
“We better!” She shouted towards me with a chuckle.  
“So what brings you to Evergreen Medical?” Asking an obvious question, towards the gentle giant. His tall 6 '3 frame, made my 5' 9 seem shorter than normal.
“I wanted to thank the person who tried to help my cousin. And when the doctors told me it was you, I was thrilled actually.” We sat in the little outdoor corridor that was open in the hospital. I couldn't tell you the last time I had been entranced by his eyes. They just draw anybody in, without remorse to lose focus.
“Especially since it was someone who knows my family.” He started his sentence with a deep baritone breath, then shifted his gaze to mine. “Who I still care about.” 
And there it was, the same old Terry. Lord this man was something else. “I'm glad I could help. So when is the homegoing, if there is one.” I wanted to keep the topic at hand and not shift towards me and our past. 
“Yea there is. My parents, aunt and uncle are handling it. I also wanted to extend an invite to you and yours.” He passed me the obituary with the date set on it, and I graciously accepted.
“I will make sure that we will be there.” With a gentle smile, I looked into his eyes softly. Abort mission, Dupree! I thought to myself. Don’t you dare get lost in his hazel green eyes.
He checked his watch and sighs awkwardly. “Well uh, I gotta get going. Gotta help out with the service and all.” He got up and held his hand out to help me up. Which I took and felt a surge of electricity race through me.
“You still have my number. It never changed when you left.” A sly smirk painted on my face, as I graciously took my hand back. 
He chucked a little himself. “Fair enough. I just may call you later if you don’t mind talking to an old friend.”
“Not at all. I’m free to talk later.” Confirming the unofficial date, knowing damn well I don’t need it.
“Hope to see you around.” He waved softly and made his way back to the entrance of the hospital.
I waved back and headed back inside.“You just might.” I whispered to myself. “You just might.”
