[text: Uncle Alexander] Can I ask you something?
[text: Uncle Alexander] It's just... there's been a lot of rumours going around Wonderland. Mom and Dad have been talking, and I don't think I was supposed to overhear them. But I did.
[text: Uncle Alexander] And you know everything. You'll know the answer.
[text: Uncle Alexander] Please can I come over? Now?
[text: Uncle Alexander] And please don't tell Mom and Dad. Or Hope.
[text: Uncle Alexander] Please?

†Dating Sim Tropes †REPOST AND FILL IN WITH DETAILS ABOUT YOUR MUSE AS IF THEY WERE A CHARACTER IN A DATING SIM.
(I still haven't settled on icons so I'm using this one for now)
NAME: Noah D. Venture (Comes in both Captain of the Ship and Training for Life on the Ship Variety!) THEIR PROFESSION: Captain of the Invincible I / Astronavigator WHERE THEY CAN BE FOUND: Onboard the Invincible / The A.merican S.pacetraining Sentre (He calls it 'Base') FAVOURITE FOOD TYPE: He likes salty food. He's known for snacking on peanuts or crackers when painting. But he also has a sweet tooth that he'll sometimes indulge. FAVOURITE ALCOHOLIC DRINK: Surprisingly, Noah barely drinks. For the most part, he sticks to water, or even soda. He does drink wine, but he doesn't like the taste. FAVOURITE TRAIT: Noah is a simple man. He likes the idea of someone who isn't problematic (in regards to causing further stress by being aggressive or stressful). He spends so much of his day dealing with problems and argumentative people that it would almost feel like another shift if he spends his downtime with someone like that. He also would love someone that can make him laugh. WHERE THEY WOULD GO ON A DATE: There's not many places one can go onboard, so it would have to be one of three places: grabbing a coffee and spending time in the atrium where you can watch the world go by, the empty cabin that was renovated into a mini art studio where you could paint together, or his own cabin where you could watch movies and whatnot (while being used as a pillow by Barnum) / The location of the space centre is near a town, so it would be easy for him to meet someone and spend a day off with them. He enjoys things that include nature: walks, stargazing, visits to places like the aquarium. IDEAL GIFT: Onboard, there's not a lot that can be given. Saying that, a handwritten letter mysteriously appearing under his cabin door would be treasured. / On Earth, where there are more options, he's very fond of small knick-knacks that are easy to transport. If asking other characters, they would give a variety of suggestions that aren't relevant but are appreciated, like fingerless gloves. And, of course, he can't be a character on this blog without loving flowers. WHEN WILL THEY DRINK ALCOHOL: As already mentioned, he isn't very fond of alcohol, so he'll only do so at a formal function. If he is given one drink, he will nurse it for most of the evening. Alternatively, he will sneak to the bar and ask for an identical drink in a matching glass (such as diluted juice).
TAGGED BY: Me! I did this with Damien a lifetime ago! :D TAGGING: Let's see... @scriptvoiid, @c-aptainslog (any of your muses!), @oliver-ashcroft-documents (any of your muses!), @frxgments-of-frxgments (any setting you want :D ), aaaand @wolfvirago. It's also open to steal, but I think five tags are plenty to get things started!
I'm sticking the last question under a read-more due to NSFW implications, but it's an optional question! :D
HOW MANY DATES UNTIL THEY GO TO BED: Are you trying to seduce Noah straight to bed? Oooh, bad choice there. This is a man who wants a simple relationship that almost falls into something domestic. Matters like this are definitely further down the line for him. He wants to know it's someone he can feel fully comfortable with. As with the Mayor he becomes in another timeline, it's something he considers with someone he feels he can see a proper future with. But once he's sure there is a future, he's happy to try moving to the next stage with someone. At the same time, it's not a requirement. If he's dating someone who is a.sexual or repulsed by the concept, that's totally fine by him. If he gets cuddles, he's more than content.
#noahheadcanon#(I was thinking about his romance life in contrast to Damien and he doesn't actively seek a date#but it's simply because he's had a lot going on and he hasn't had a chance to try finding someone xD)#(listen. You try moving from earth to a lunar colony; then BACK to earth before going on an intergalatic mission. It's a lot!)#food tw

guess fucking what? my inbox is so fucking full right now i'm unloading all of this shit in one post.
For the 11th gotham memes: gothamites react to bruce being jacked in a tiktok he made with kids, like super yoked, ripped as hell
fucking hilarious thanks. i think i did it in one meme post, but i genuinely don't remember which one
i dunno which of the batfam would do this but one time i was sleeping over at a friends house and ended up on the floor bc the bed was so very small and i just stayed there because the rug was soft
that's a drunk jason move i don't know what to tell you
tim and jason are "i listen to pop punk" solidarity. whenever jason highjacks the batmobile theyll go on long ass car rides blaring mcr and paramore and then never talk about it again
as they should!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tim: no jason it's my turn using the aux cord i gotta put on my jams jason: don't you dare put on weird shit tim: don't worry, you're gonna love this *plays fearless (taylor's version)
hear me out hear me out, red hood stans đ€ nightwing stans t h i g h s
holy shit yes.
SNL au: Bruce breaks character when pretending to superman and says something like "I'm not superman! You've seen his gps!! It's from 2001!!!" @sabeanybabe
superman flies past the snl building the next day just to say 'actually it's from 2005, i'm not a heathen'
does your back hurt from carrying the batfam fandom
it hurts more from the exotic rock collection i keep in my backpack, but thanks for the concern.
I love your posts by why would you always leave the best parts in the tags?
as a treat for the people that check the tags ;) (and also because i'm committed to the short post aesthetic)
somehow your playlist was everything i never knew i needed. i mean it. this is my new favorite playlist.
and don't you dare get a new favourite playlist!
babe ur stoner tim playlist is exactly too perfect, earth is literally blessed by ur existence
babe thanks so much! i love my stoner tim playlist because it's just my usual playlist but people think it's an artistic choice that i put taylor swift and britney spears in there, when it's just what i unironically like listening to
JANDKSKDK BILLY RAY CYRUS ON THE STONER TIM PLAYLIST I LOVE IT IT
again it's not even an ironic choice, i know every single word and i genuinely like the song
The last chapter of Fundamentals of Casework has me crying at work. Thanks I love it @dudelookitsalesbian
oh babe, i'm sorry, but also, not sorry i love chapter 4 so much it's my lovechild with the 'mental illness' tag
soooo....stumbled on your tumblr by some stroke of fate??? read your DC fanfic first. which is PHENOMENAL btw. then found all the batmemes; the funniest thing EVER bc everyone forgets about regular old gothamites. kept scrolling and your blog pops up as recommended. clicked on the ao3 for shits and giggles and waddaya know?!?!? it's YOU!!! you're LEGEND!!!! ever seen that meme? it's a video of a cat that got into a baseball field and the two announcers get really invested in his escape attempt and start giving a play by play of the cat instead of the game. memeable moment: "GREAT stuff from the Cat!!!"
i seriously think about this ask every single day and it's so fucking funny to me that i've never seen the meme you're referencing, but i still find myself going 'GREAT stuff from the Cat!!!' whenever i see something funny. but wow i'm glad you liked this steaming pile of garbage
Fav dc character overall? And fav batfamily character?
don't ask me to pick between the loves of my life, but i can tell you i've cried about every single batfamily member and also wally west (my beloved)
What's your opinion on fans having a problem with batfam being "too big"? And some even claim that batfam is just "Bruce Alfred Dick Damian" and the rest of them are just "friends and allies" (source: reddit) Personally, I like batfam because of this reason but idk
stupid. a family can never be too big. i'm not that big a fan of like huge batfam stuff with everybody from every single universe, because as much as it's funny for bruce to have like 30 kids, it just feels a little too OOC for me.
This is the best tag I've seen involving the batfam, thanks for thinking of it
This is canon now @nctxrejects
lmao yeah i think at that point alfred has had to sit through like at least a dozen coming out talks and just has a pride flag collection in the attic that he pulls out whenever a kid comes out
idk why batfam hits different as compared to any other superhero family
bc it's found family and usually the other superhero families are almost all genetically related in one way or another
I don't know if you watch the umbrella academy but I saw your last post about batcest and saw the similarities. But the thing is (although I think it's weird) in TUA, they addressed it by saying "they were raised as weapons, not siblings" or something along those lines, which is simply not the case with batfam.
yeah i watched tua but i also thought it was ridiculous and they still treated each other as siblings so i didn't like the luthor/allison thing, and am glad they stopped doing that shit bc it fucking sucked.
Hot take: Batcest shippers are the same people who believe adopted siblings are not actual siblings
smoking hot take: batcest shippers are the people who watch 'my sister got stuck in the washing machine' porn
Duke was adopted by Bruce?
not technically no, but do i, tumblr user batarangsoundsdumb, look like i care?
True story but I had to change my freaking name because it used to be "Damien" and most people would go "OH LIKE DAMIAN WAYNE" like please I'm just tryna live
true story, but i don't actually think of damian when i hear the name damian, literally the first thing that pops up is damian darkh like bruh what?
apparently dc comics company supported comic stores by giving out new titles and stuff during the beginning of the pandemic to help them run and I just think that's wholesome
ah yeah that's so fucking cool, still don't like dc, the company, because this world is a capitalist hellhole and we're all owned by warner brothers or disney with no in between.
ayo looking at tumblr head canons and finding out bruce is actually a terrible father is a punch in the gut
lmao yes, in like 50% of comics bruce is a terrible father and it gives me whiplash
oooh I just saw the jason todd vs winter soldier post and the real question is: batman vs iron man
while iron man has like hundreds of cases of armor, batman could throw out an emp and have the guy dropping out of the sky in 2 seconds.
dickfast = fastdick = quickdick = quickie
magnum hot take
hey bata(?) just thought I'd let you know I have copied the obnoxious emoji and Billy Ray post for use on simping men going forth
thank you đđ· (@spacebarsidecar)
why would you do that to your followers???? i get why i did it, but why would you???
what is scarecrow made the nightwing funko pop himself, like those diy-ers that paint over other ones
oh god no, horrible take, horrible take, that's a disgusting thought oh no
I see your HC that Bruce and Oliver fucked and raise you this: Dick and Roy ALSO fucked
yes they did and it was a horrible moment for jason to find out dick has fucked both of his best friends
"at this rate bruce adds like 1 child to his family every decade or so" Duke is introduced in 2013, Damian as Damian, not as an unnamed child, in 2006. And he is already 14 years old, Robins rarely remain Robins after 16 đŹ It looks like a new Robin and Batkid will appear in a couple of years
i mean i can't wait? but somebody will probably die first tho, we're due for another major character death. my money's on either cass or duke this time.
BRO you're so right all of your Bruce's ex headcanons are amazing but they aren't ships, that's kinda wild. Like I don't want any peeks into how their relationship was I just want to see everyone make fun of them
lmao YES it's just i love bruce being a slut, like good for him.
I am in love with your posts your honour thank you
omg thanks are we like,, gonna kiss now?
The justice league needs to have a meeting to discuss how many of their members/partners have slept with bruce. Because through a combination of cannon & fannon (if DC wasnât homophobic) we have AT LEAST: 1) clark 2) lois 3) oliver 4) dinah 5) john
Thats not counting villains or random civilians @dudelookitsalesbian
yes yes yes, they'll have a yearly meeting about how many of their collective exes could be out for revenge and batman's list just keeps getting longer.
tim was like "i'm drake now" and everyone was like ahh so your fursona is a dragon and tim was like pffffft no. ducks.
and what about it?
when steph's fighting livewire and she zaps her with lighting and nothing happens and then they both just. stand there awkwardly for a second and talk. yeah i couldn't stop laughing at that batgirl steph is the BEST
oh yeah that was fucking hilarious and i think it would be so cool and sexy of dc to give steph a little comic series,,, as a treat
Hi I absolutely adore all of yours "Bruce and Oliver very badly pretending they didn't fuck each other" memes
lmao i do too
I need you to know that âBruce Wayne had frosted tipsâ is one of my favorite Bruce takes of all time itâs so galaxy brained. youâre right and you should say it
he also painted his hair blonde once when he was travelling and in conclusion, this is why he's being blackmailed by the gotham gazette.
you know my thing about gordon being branded as the only good cop in gotham is its a load of shit like arguably he's a good person and not working to screw people over or anything but the fact that he also works w. batman makes him a shit cop. like yea batman is better than the mob but its still illegal its still an abuse of power he just not making bank
babe, all cops are bad cops. (but yeah youre absolutely right, working with vigilantes makes you a shit cop, but also working against vigilantes just makes you an asshole cop yanno?)
ruh roh i think iâm about to add âso not yeehawâ every time i donât like something
that's a very good vocabulary upgrade
somehow i feel like steph already knew. like babs obviously knew but i feel like bruce got high/drunk in front of steph and started telling his boarding school stories and steph was just like âoh you fucked up iâm never gonna forget thisâ
steph and bruce have weird uncle/rebellious niece dynamic and they just hang out sometimes and bruce will be like 'i once broke my arm when i tripped over a hedge when i was drunk so oliver drove me to the hospital on an electric scooter' and steph will just have to sit there with that knowledge in her head.
Hello I just wanted to tell you you are So right in all your steph opinions bc she is, in fact amazing and I think that's very sexy of you. Ps. Your Bruce/Oliver fic is hilarious
babe, thank you so much and yes steph is amazing and i love her and she deserves the world and she's the best member of the batfam hands down. also thanks
In Supersons we see a couple of kids that are implied to be Damian and Jon's children and the boy has laser eyes and can fly, so I asume he's not adopted. The girl, who calls Bruce grandpa, can also fly, btw. So it's canon (probably by accident) that Jon can have kids and he must have married one of Bruce's kids. (I'm hoping for Damian, mostly because any other of his children would be waaaaaaaaaaaaay too old.) @artemisa97
lmao that was probably an accident seeing as jon is a 17 year old superhero in the year 3000 (by the jonas brothers)
You know, I'm a die hard fan of your memes, but I gotta say one thing: if Gothamites actually took gas mask everywhere with them, then the Scarecrow would just be a weird dude in a weird costume, and not a villain oh so scary. DC really should just takes notes from you.
bold of you to assume there's no gothamite anti-maskers
How does it feel being the funniest person on this app?
horrible, next question.
I can't listen to Green Day or Billy Joel without thinking of your post about how Bruce got arrested at a Billy Joel concert @nightwings-kid
yeah that's your mistake, i on the other hand can't enjoy billy joel without thinking about the glee rendition of 'uptown girl'
I've FINALLY been watching the Batman animated series and I gotta say, after watching "the gray ghost" I am CONVINCED that Batman is a closeted super hero geek who was 100% freaking out the first time he met Superman and is just REALLY good at hiding it.
superman: so what do you do in your free time? batman, thinking about the superman fanfiction he's writing on the batcomputer: i have no free time
bruce and oliver be like boyfriends to co-workers 401k (do the justice leagues get 401ks??? not that bruce and ollie would need them, but-)
lmao yes just 400 thousand words of bruce realising 'oh dip oliver is such a fucking dumbass' (also i don't know what a 401 k is but i assume they don't?)
Gothamites would totally boo superman as he saves Gotham while batman is out. @meenje
he's like 'okay think about that next time you want to be saved from an alien octopus'
I just took long break from dc comics and I come back to see ric grayson ??
i think it's very cool and sexy of dc to see dick and just think 'you know what? let's just give him a traumatic brain injury' and then didn't develop his character in any real way
SPEAKING OF RIC GRAYSON, gothamites making confused memes out of ric grayson is much needed
'dick grayson is my taxi driver? can anyone explain what the fuck happened he looks like an italian plumber?'
i hate to say it but batfam are def "marvel characters" in that sense they are characters who are human but become superheroes unlike most dc characters who are gods trying to be human maybe this is why I like batfam
fair enough
#this is only like half of it#but at least you can get like a few answers#yanno fuck it#bataranswers#ask#asks#anon

Oooh good idea I'll bet Blink'll agree with me- ( Ë ÂłË)â„ ( Ë ÂłË)â„ ( Ë ÂłË)â„ ((ahhh ty ty ty yes that makes me feel better ahhhh :DDD))((hope you feel better though; that sounds Very Not Fun D:)) what about a LAMP fake dating AU? (how does that work? nobody knows but here they are)(or if you've got some convoluted idea of how they got there then put that in because it sounds like it'd be funny)
Blink will agree with you but that doesnât make it a good idea. And I have some headphones in now so Iâm doing better :)
I donât have the energy for anything super long but I do like fake dating AUs soooo
Ao3 link
Logan pinched the bridge of his nose and sighed. âAlright. Let me get this straight.â
âFat chance of that.â Roman spoke up immediately from his seat, comfortably splayed across Pattonâs lap on the chair across from Loganâs.
Logan blinked at Roman, a blink of long-suffering. âAllow me to get the facts in order.â
âYou can try.â Virgil scoffed, perched on the arm of Loganâs chair and leaning heavily against him. âThough they are a mess.â
âThat they are indeed.â Logan agreed before continuing, pointing at Roman and Patton. âRoman. You asked Patton to come to this wedding as your fake date, to avoid appearing lonely.â
Roman nodded. Logan shifted his gaze slightly more on Patton while pointing at Virgil. âPatton. You and Virgil have been dating for a few months to keep your parents off your back about finding a spouse.â He looked at Virgil. âAnd you went along with it to provide a good representation of happy gay relationships for your younger brother.â
Patton nodded energetically while Virgil half-shrugged in agreement, Virgil adding, âThe media wasnât exactly going to give Thomas anything.â
âThat it was not.â Roman agreed vehemently. âWe have been deprived far too long of a gay Disney prince!â
âPlease donât get off topic. This is convoluted enough as is without side tangents.â Logan stated. Roman quieted, and Logan went on, âNow, I asked Virgil to come to this wedding with me because I was well aware of the mocking Remy would bestow upon me if he learned I was single.â
âAnd I didnât know that Patton was going with Roman to the same wedding because they had been asked to come by Damien.â Virgil added, continuing sarcastically âAnd because we have fantastic communication skills, we never realized we were all going to the same wedding-â
â-until we ran into each other at the entrance.â Patton finished for him with a sheepish smile.
âBut that was not the end of things.â Logan said wearily. âAs, once you and Virgil realized you should be going with each other to hold face, me and Roman began holding our own charade.â
âWhich worked spectacularly!â Roman said confidentially before frowning. âUntil Remy goaded us into dancing. Which was amazing!â Roman added hastily, getting a slight colour rise in Loganâs cheeks for his trouble. âBut it brought up concerns when Emile- who had helped plan everything- asked why we were dancing with each other when he had RSVP-ed with Patton and Virgil, respectively.â
âAnd you panicked and told him we were cheating.â Logan said with a disapproving frown. âWhich scandalized him enough he called Virgil and Patton over.â
âBut I didnât know what was happening!â Patton said in distress. âAnd when Emile saw me and Virgil were holding each otherâs hands he asked if we were all cheating on each other, and that sounded so ugly, I just said no without thinking!â
Virgil tugged his hands into the sleeves of his hoodie, momentarily looking as nervous as he had been in the moment. âAnd then he got confused, and looked to me for an answer, and I didnât know what to do, so then I panicked and said we were all dating each other!â
âWhich, given how many fake dating schemes we were pulling, was not entirely false.â Logan muttered. âThough Emile looked⊠less than convinced.â
âSo you kissed me.â Virgil deadpanned, leaning more against Logan with a smirk. âAnd Patton, and Roman, to prove the point. Sure did shock everyone there with that one, teach.â
âWhen a conclusion is disbelieved it is often due to a lack of supporting evidence. By providing supporting evidence, our point became believable.â Logan tried to reason, weakly.
âA little too believable if you ask me.â Roman teased, flashing Logan a grin. âUnless you kiss all your fake boyfriends like itâs the last time youâll ever see them.â
âI donât know about you, Pat, but I can attest to the fact that he definitely does, yeah.â
âIâm not sure Iâd put it like that.â Patton answered Virgil, though a smile was creeping onto his face as well. âBut it didnât feel fake.â
Logan felt his cheeks burning. âI was simply trying to make it all seem realistic.â He protested, before looking down, cheeks turning even redder. âAnd it would not be incorrect to say I may have found the experience to⊠to not be unpleasant.â
âLogan, thatâs gay.â
Logan elbowed Virgilâs back as the group laughed. âObvious comments aside, we, from there, have retreated here, both to straighten out our stories, and to avoid the ridicule of my cousin.â
âStraighten out our stories?â Roman repeated with the same stupid grin from before. âIâm not sure thatâs possible.â
âI do not believe you are as funny as you think you are when you make those jokes.â
âIf I think Iâm hilarious, thatâs all that matters.â
Logan sighed. âLet us please focus on the matter at hand: when we go back out to the festivities, we must have a collected story to present, or we are likely to find ourselves confused and possibly branded as unfaithful. What should that story be?â
âWell⊠we only really have one choice, donât we?â Patton said, glancing around at the others. âWe have to go out and say weâre all dating. The only other option at this point would be to willingly brand ourselves cheaters.â
Logan nodded. âThat is logical.â He conceded easily. âAnd I find it doubtful any of you have objection to it.â
Roman wrapped his arms around Patton while still looking at Logan. âWhat makes you think that?â
âCall it an educated guess.â Logan responded flatly as Virgil slumped against him to the point Logan was certain he was supporting all of Virgilâs weight. âSo, we are in agreement then? We shall all maintain the façade of dating each other for the rest of this wedding?â
âI dunno Logan⊠just this wedding?â Virgil said, sounding hesitant despite the smile he was wearing. âIf we âbreak upâ right after people might get suspicious.â
Logan raised an eyebrow. âWhat do you propose we do instead, then?â
âWell, weâll have to fake it for a while afterwards, of course!â Roman said, quickly catching onto Virgilâs train of thought. âFake it for long enough that our separation seems natural. Unless, of course, we never do separateâŠâ Roman trailed off, a mischievous look in his eyes.
Logan smiled back, the same sort of trickery now in his expression as well. âThat sounds logical as well. Patton?â
Patton beamed. âSounds like a fantastic idea to me!â
âThen itâs settled.â Logan said finally, pushing Virgil off of him enough so that he could stand. Virgil, his balance thrown off, almost toppled over before Logan caught his arm, steadying him.
Virgil offered him a sheepish smile. âSorry.â
âNo problem,â Logan said softly, pulling on Virgilâs arm so that Virgil took a balancing step towards him, close enough that Logan could press a kiss to Virgilâs cheek before he added, âlove.â
A blush crept up Virgilâs neck and cheeks immediately. His only response was to shuffle even closer to Logan, pressing against his side and snaking his arm around his waist. Logan slipped an arm around Virgilâs shoulders in response, glancing over at Roman and Patton, who seemed vaguely shocked. âWell? Are you coming or not, my dears?â
Roman blinked in bewilderment before his face broke out in a grin. âAlright!â He said enthusiastically, sliding out of Pattonâs lap before offering him a hand up. âShall we?â
Patton giggled before happily taking Romanâs offered hand, letting out a happy gasp when Roman pulled him up and into a short spin, ending it with a brief dip and a-not-as-brief kiss. They straightened up a moment later, both looking a touch giddy as Patton nestled against Virgil, arms slipping around both Virgilâs and Romanâs waists to pull the four of them together.
âOnwards!â Roman exclaimed excitedly, pointing his free hand forwards, towards the door leading back to the after party. The group moved forward, stopping in front of it so that Virgil could pull it open with his free hand. Before he did, however, Virgil paused, hand resting on the doorknob as he chuckled.
âThis wedding⊠Remy and Damien⊠itâs a scam, isnât it?â He asked.
Loganâs mouth quirked into another smile. âYes, it is.â He confirmed. âA fake wedding to help them commit tax fraud.â
Virgil laughed. âPerfect.â He said, twisting the handle as he spoke and pushing open the door, the group of boys heading back out into the party held for dubious reasons, pretending as if the fact that they walked into it together was also for no reason but to maintain false pretenses.Â

Number 17 with Will and Dark?
(Oooh, yes please! Needle and drug tw)
17. âI donât know where I am. Help me.â
The Actor is not a kind man, but heroes rarely have the luxury of kindness, gentleness. No, they have to make the tough decisions. They have to do what it takes, no matter what that may be, even the most unsavory things. Yet the Actor is willing.
But Dark isnât interested in his grand mission for fame and renown. Especially not when his friend is missing.
âDark, I thought that you learned how to play your role long ago, when I visited you at your little cabin.â He flicks his hair, a simpering little prick waiting for his glamor shot. âNow, you did so well in A Date with Markiplier. You made it such a success!â Actor actually applauds him, and Darkâs back hits a wall.
Heâs so weak, itâs pathetic. The Actor has him trapped here in this musty, old place. The theater is falling to pieces around them, but the stage is lit, however, by the glow of a few, dusty spotlights. The curtains are drawn, cobwebs clinging to their corners.
Dark rolls his shoulders and resists the urge to make a joke about how the Actor is a particularly potent pain in his neck. âI gave you what you want. Iâm your dancing monkey, your perfect villain, now give me back my partner like we agreed.â
Actor shrugs his shoulders. âOh, Dark, you think that ridiculous little show was all that I wanted?â Actor puts his arms around Dark from behind and whispers in his ear, âYour ridiculous little partner nearly ruined everything, and while he is quite difficult to pin down, I found a clever little way to keep him in one place. Found a way to make him vulnerable.â
Darkâs whole body goes stiff, and he resists the urge to pull away. Itâll only make this go on longer if he does. He just has to put up with it for now. For Wilfordâs sake. âWell then Iâm sure youâll be relieved for me to take him off your hands, yes?â
âOh, yes, yes, but first...â Actor reaches up and runs his fingers through the back of Darkâs hair, twisting his fingers through it gently. âYou have to punish him for what he did, interfering with your plan to ruin my perfect performance.â
Actor flicks his hand, and the curtains on the stage rise to reveal Wilford, tied to a chair with a blindfold over his eyes. Darkâs shell cracks, and he shoves Actor back to jump onstage. âWill?
âDark!â Wilford doesnât sound like himself. His trademark bow tie has been used as a gag, and Dark takes it carefully from his mouth. Now that heâs closer, he notices Willâs sleeves are rolled up. His forehead is coated in sweat, and there are pinpricks in the crooks of his arms, tiny bruises where needles were forced into his vein. âI donât know where I am! Help me!â
Dark reaches to untie him, but the Actor appears at his shoulder, a hand on Darkâs chest. âDonât do that. Right now heâs weak and even more jumbled up than usual. He might even fade away for good. So, if you want me to return him to normal, youâre going to do as I say.â He giggles and curls his fingers around Darkâs tie. âWhat do you say? My villain?â
Wilfordâs head lolls to the side, and he strains against the ropes. âDark, I want to leave now. C-can we go?â
Dark sets his jaw as the Actor slips Damienâs cane into his hands. âHe wonât remember this. Teaching him a lesson will do you no good.â
But Actor just giggles and stands back to watch the show. âBut youâll remember, wonât you? And youâll be sure to keep him out of my hair. Youâll be sure to play your role just as I tell you to, hm?â
Dark grips the cane tight. âIf I do this, youâll give him the antidote? He wonât fade?â
Actor smiles. âOf course, Dark. Of course. As soon as youâve learned your lesson.â
âD-Damien? Please, please, old boy, letâs go home,â Will begs him, his whole body shaking. Heâs already so pale. His fingers are see-through. Maybe it means he wonât feel all of this. âIâm scared... I donât know when or where I am. But you remember me, right?â
Darkâs shell cracks again, blue and red flashing in tandem at the thought of hurting Will. Of course, if he were only in control, if he were powerful enough, he could stop this. He could tear the Actor to shreds until he begged to give Wilford the antidote, but Dark isnât in control. And heâs not powerful. Not yet.
âYouâre Wilford Warfstache, and youâre a good man.â Dark is just the villain, and his whole shell begins to crumble as he raises the cane over his head. âYouâre my best friend, and you donât deserve this. Will, Iâm so sorry.â
But thereâs nothing he can do.

disaster take
i saw this discourse on other blogs and come to the realization that most people probably wonât agree with me but... hereâs my two cents:
wendy and kyle are very similar characters, not identical, but the character writing in south park is usually quite shallow (for any character in the cast) and normally any depth that can actually be found in any one character is entirely coincidental or accidental on the part of the observer. For example, in a previous post I mentioned that Kyle probably learned to dance after the events of the rain forest episode, and we know he must have because of highschool musical. This creates and interesting nugget of character depth that fits with his overall character but the connection is most likely entirely accidental. Did the writers think that deeply about Kyleâs character, or did they just forget the throwaway joke they kin-assigned Kyle for one episodes purposes?
for me these gaps between writers intent and interpretation are entertaining and itâs very fun for me to play detective, putting together the whole characters through the lens of âdeath of the authorâ and figuring out how the characters behave based on not only their behavior in any one individual episode, but how the inconsistent and shallow character writing makes an overall character-arc (no character is more fascinating in this fashion than Eric Cartman, who has the most cohesive and entirely accidental character arc that spans from episode one and showcases a fascinating and horribly flawed individual)
All of this stated, the similarities in how Kyle and Wendy are written may not be intentional, but the fact is that given the same exact situation they respond similarly and to varying degrees. A good example of this is when they are jealous or their ego is bruised, they both have a tendency to have excessive if not murderous reactions (teacher into the sun, nuke canada, burn down the school, bully your friends)
I donât think anyone can really make a good faith argument denying that they have strong similarities. There are of course differences, during the smurfs Wendy showed a much cooler head than Kyle would in the same circumstance. They do not need to be identical to share strong similar characteristics
Now for how fandom has perceived Wendy.
There is good reason that some individuals feel that the fan-reaction towards her isnât entirely based on her writing being inherently âworseâ than Kyleâs. It also isnât true that everyone who loves Kyle and hates Wendy is sexist or suffering from a case of internal misogyny.
That said, Wendy is held to a higher standard than Kyle is. Or more accurately, she is held to account for her actions in canon and Kyle is not. A primary example that Iâve heard multiple times in explaining why sheâs a âbadâ character or a âbadâ person is that she broke Stanâs heart by dumping him. Some accuse her of cheating on him (with either Gregory or Token, pick your poison).
We can dismiss the cheating accusations immediately, there isnât even a sliver of evidence she ever cheated. The times where she pursued other love interests they were either broken up or not together.
But the underlying message that hurting Stan makes her a bad character and not holding Kyle to that same account when Kyle, as early as the super best friends episode and as terribly as the assburgers episode, has a pattern of hurting Stan and in worse ways.
Wendy dumped him, thatâs awful, but sheâs allowed to have different feelings for other people and sheâs allowed to end a relationship with a boy who constantly vomited on her. But the fan perception of this is âwhat a bitchâ while the reaction to the style friend breakups is âoooh the angstâ
This is only one of the ways we can see her being held to a different standard than Kyle. Not every fan is guilty of this, but enough people share this sentiment that is entirely justified for people to point out what appears to be underlying misogyny in how the characters are treated.
There are arguments based more on her writing than her actions, I have heard the âsheâs always right and thatâs not realisticâ on at least four different occasions now. But not only is this factually untrue if youâve actually watched the show, it ignores the many times Kyle has also been right for seemingly no other reason than the writers convenience. Making him the moral center of the episode or a center of a joke. I find the âsheâs too perfectâ to be a bad faith argument because the research behind it is shoddy and even when the person behind it acknowledges cases where she was wrong (killing her teacher, bullying, petty grudges to name a few) itâs always hand-waved away as âoh, okay, that once, but other than anything that disagrees with me, sheâs too perfect. This is a very clear case of confirmation bias. Any evidence that backs the argument that sheâs too perfect is guarded and anything that refutes it is discarded.
There will be some fans that hate her and love Kyle for completely unrelated reasons to holding her to a different standard, sexism, or internalized misogyny. But it is a fact that a significant amount of the fandom holds her to a completely different standard and a very possible reason for that is either her gender or how she disrupts their precious ships.
I would make the argument that she has a far stronger and more engaging characterization than Clyde using the same standards I set above where I judge characters based on the totality of their appearances rather than on individual episode. A even removing that framework and basing solely on episodes that focus on them individually, she has a stronger character. And yet I have never once heard or seen anyone making the argument that they dislike Clyde because his character is too flat. This is another case where she, and the majority of the female cast, is held to a different standard. Iâve never seen anyone say âitâs hard to write Gregory because he has very little character and the writers only created a flat stereotypeâ. But I see that sort of perspective all the time for female characters that have more screen-time and development than Gregory ever had.
I love all the characters above and I find their characterizations and lack thereof to be a fascinating puzzle that I spend my free-time putting together.
But female characters in South Park do suffer from what I would consider a form of internalized misogyny. Most fans donât do this on purpose (thus internalized) but the society weâve been raised in has a tendency to put men and women on different scales.
This isnât a scale thatâs fair to either sex. The unconscious mentality that âits okay if he has no personality because heâs a guyâ does men a disservice too. If you do fall under the category of someone who judges the female characters more than the male ones, Iâm not trying to say youâre a bad person or even that youâve done a bad thing. I want you to reconsider your opinion. Take a moment to actually think about it. I know Iâve been guilty of holding men and women to different standards. In both real life and fiction, I expect less from men. I look down on them in an unhealthy fashion that if I donât address, could lead to ending up in harmful situations or harming someone else.
fiction is a lens that we can use to better understand reality. I am an advocate that you can treat fictional characters in any way you like and it doesnât fucking matter. You want to kill Wendy because you think sheâs an annoying bitch? Go for it. It doesnât matter. Wendy is not real.
I donât want you to change your fandom behaviors, I want you to reexamine them and ask yourself how deeply the disparity in how you view men and women goes. If you use fiction as an outlet for misogynistic or even misandrist feelings, I think thatâs valid, but I want you to know that youâre doing it.
If you hold men and women to different standards, whether in fiction, real life, or both, I want you to be aware of it.
Now the elephant in the room.
Damien is one of the most popular characters in South Park and he has one episode focusing on his character. His personality is frequently discarded because in canon, heâs an uppity little git who is both petty and weak. He wants to be liked, is affected by bullying, and cries to his daddy about it.
In fandom he is frequently portrayed as a cool and collected impervious person who, yes, has a temper but instead of how petulant and bratty he appeared in canon, fandom portrays this as âbadassâ.
To put it simply, fandom has a tendency to ignore canon entirely in the name of whatâs âhotâ. They want the prince of hell to be sexy and dangerous, so he is just that.
The majority of popular fanon characterizations fit these same molds. They want Butters to be cute and sweet, so every character flaw heâs ever had is hand-waved away.
How does this relate to my topic?
Fans of the female characters are not impervious to this. Heidi Turner is an extremely flawed and vicious individual who would stoop to any low to protect her damaged pride. She is also a victim in a toxic relationship that put her through a horrible experience. And so the fandom either acknowledges one half, how cruel she can be, or the other, how pure a victim she was someone protect her. And neither combine her to a whole character. A person who was in a bad situation, had a lot of positive traits, bad things happened to her, and she didnât bad things in return. Her penitent for cruelty in some earlier episodes when she was still a bg character is completely hand-waved away by both camps.
Sheâs an interesting character and sheâs dumbed down for the pleasure of the audience, isnât this the same treatment the men receive and thus invalidates my entire thesis that theyâre held to a different standard?
For starters, the idea that an argument is entirely invalid because of one exception is in itself a fallacy, but to avoid acknowledging her existence would be confirmation bias. She is an anomaly, a female character given the same treatment as the male characters. Is it because sheâs deeper or better written than the other female characters? I would argue no, critically watching her episodes she has tons of the same troped behavior that the fans love to despise in the rest of the female cast. Although unlike the other characters (both male and female), where I must do an in-depth watch of the series over the course of 20+ seasons in order to create a whole understanding of them, the majority of her arc happens over the course of two seasons.
An easily digestible amount of content. No one needs to put together the puzzle pieces to understand her like you do with the majority of the cast, itâs all there.
Except it isnât, and this is why I mentioned her behavior in earlier seasons is discarded. The way people frame her is solely from the seasons where sheâs a primary character, ignoring the clear characterization we got from her in earlier seasons that do help to create a more whole understanding of her personality and character.
That all said, there are still portions of the fandom who hate her purely because she blocks their kyman or style or insert-gay-ship-here. There are fans who hate her not because of her flawed personality or even that they find her character flat, but purely because they want to see âtwo hot boys kiss get the gross girl outâ. Which is a pretty common mistreatment of Wendy as well.
Now, male characters are on occasion given this treatment but nowhere near as often. While creek shippers and crenny shippers might fight until their last breath, neither group seems to actually hate Kenny or Tweek. But in the ship wars of a âhet shipâ vs a âgay shipâ, the female character is frequently trashed by the gay side.
I could go into an aside about the troubling fetishization of gay men that borders on outright homophobia at times, but this has been surprisingly alot.
I guess my point is that any which way you fandom, try to at least understand that sexism is real and be aware when you might be perpetuating messages that can appear unbalanced. And maybe, ask yourself why you do that.

The MFackenthal Show with Special Guest @choicesarehard
banner created by the amazing @choicesarehard
Disclaimer:Â This interview was conducted on July 1, 2019.Â
Megs: Welcome, welcome everyone to my 10th show! I am so blessed that this show has done so well and the network has given me a full 23 episode slot. I have to tell you - the remaining 13 slots are currently filled!  Which just means that my producers are working on a season 2. If you want to be on the show - please let me know.  And if you think someone else should be on the show - let me know that too. In fact, todayâs show couldnât have happened without the help of @leelee10898. Â
Tonight, I have a wonderful special guest with me tonight, everyone please give a round of applause to @choicesarehard!
Ellie:Â stays seated next to Megs on the couch, gives a little smile and waves to the audience.Â
Megs: Ellie, I am so excited to have you on the show tonight. When we were chatting backstage, I promised I would start todayâs show with a story - something to help you forget that my amazing audience is staring at you. Hmmm .. Iâm trying to think of an embarrassing one ⊠letâs see ... Iâve been taught to always sing loud and proud ⊠but that means people often catch me not quite knowing the words to the song Iâm singing. Thatâs not terribly embarrassing though ⊠Oh!  I understand that you like to travel ⊠I have to be really careful that I donât sing when Iâm on a plane. Itâs harder for me than it sounds. Ooooh oooh oh - idea forming right now! We should have plane karaoke.  I really think flights could be more fun if we had a little more to drink and a few more songs to sing together. Plus I never forget the words when Iâm singing karaoke - the words are always right there on the screen. Â
Ellie: laughs. You would certainly have a captive audience. Â
Megs: Exactly! Okay, your turn. Tell me a travel story.Â
Ellie: Hmmm ... well, Megs, you see, Iâm a Texan, and we tend to be really friendly people. Sometimes, a little too friendly. On a flight home from London recently, a British man in front of us was struggling to fill out his immigration form. He asked the flight attendant âWhat if I donât know where Iâm staying?â This Texas woman next to me, who does not know this man at all, immediately pipes up, âSugar, donât give it another thought, youâll stay with us. We have a spare room.â And the British man looks absolutely terrified, and squeaks âI meant I don't know the address!â It was the most perfect culture clash Iâve ever seen, and I loved every second of it.Â
Megs: Oh, that is a great story. Gotta love Texans. Â
Ellie:Â Agreed!
Megs:Â Okay, so Ellie, tell me, when did you join the fandom and what brought you here?Â
Ellie:Â I joined Tumblr in January, after reading every single Damien x MC story on the Choices Fan Fiction Archive. No, seriously, like, all of them. I was desperately Googling for more content, and discovered all the amazing creators on here. I made an account that night!
Now, as I can be pretty shy, I didnât make a single post or even comment on stories my first month on Tumblr. I probably would have stayed a wallflower if @walkerismychoice hadnât written a story so amazing I had to say something. So I sent her a DM and panicked until she responded. Turns out I had nothing to worry about. Maggie took me under her wing, showed me how to tag and post, sent me my first Ask, and even encouraged me to write my first drabble! Friends like her and what really brought me away from the metaphorical wall and onto the fandom dance-floor.
Megs: And weâre so glad you are here! Megs turns to the audience.  As there may be a few of you here who donât know Ellie very well, let me tell you - she is multi-talented. Not only does she write, but she also creates gorgeous edits. Seriously, did you see that banner of us when you first turned on the show?  That was all Ellie!  Sheâs amazing.Â
Ellie:Â Megs - stop, youâre making me blush!
Megs: Nope, wonât stop. Seriously Ellie, you should charge a commission fee! I would have paid for my icon and banners!!! *wink* Ellie: Ha! You are the sweetest, and I actually get that a lot. But edits are my little way of saying thank you to the fandom for being so kind to the new kid!Â
Megs: Awh, youâre not so new anymore, friend! So tell us a little about your work.  Whatâs your favorite work that youâve written? Â
Ellie: Oh goodness, I can be pretty critical of my own work, but Iâm trying to shake that habit. And I am definitely proud of His Hands. Sometimes the things we hate about ourselves are the things that draw others to us, and it was fun to show both those perspectives in one piece.
Megs: Oh, that is so beautiful! Can you tell me more about your edits?Â
Ellie:Â The edits started as a way to illustrate one of my Outfit Drabbles â these kind of insane little stories I write about the worst outfits in the game. But I started doing edits seriously about two months ago! Clearly, it has kind of spiraled out of control since then, and Iâm slapping wrinkles and tattoos and prison uniforms on everyone. Iâve also started making Choices Aesthetics recently. I love trying to capture the feeling and mood of a book or character in just six panels. My Wishful Thinking Emu board is probably my favorite thing Iâve ever made.Â
Megs: Everyone should check those out. That Wishful Thinking board is amazing! So, do you prefer writing or the edits?Â
Ellie: Oh Megs! Donât make me choose! Oh goodness, let me think. Making an edit is definitely more fun than writing. Iâm giggling almost the entire time Iâm creating one. And itâs a much, much faster process. But I pour so much of myself into my stories, and I really love getting to share them with other fans. And I think my stories mean more to me on a personal level. So uh...both? Can I say both?Â
Megs: Of course! I mean, I should probably share something really fast ... if ever I am playing a game - I will look for a way to cheat. So in either/or questions - I highly respect an answer of both. Â
Ellie:Â That does explain so much about you, Megs.Â
Megs: Laughs. Okay, well, getting back to you sharing your work with this fandom. What do you love about this fandom?  Is there anything youâre less than happy with?Â
Ellie: I love how welcoming the fandom is to new writers and artists. My first drabble was literally 77 words⊠and I had a whopping 13 followers. It should have been totally lost in the noise. But wonderful people like @bobasheebaby @sinclaire-made-me-sin and @ritachacha were so supportive; it made me feel brave enough to write a second story, and a third, andâŠwell, here we are!
And listen, I know no online experience is going to be perfect, but if I donât like a given topic or series I just filter it from my dashboard, or unfollow the user. Beyond that, I just try to surround myself with people who are kind.Â
Megs: Do you have any advice for other people in the fandom? Especially other fanfic writers?Â
Ellie: Iâm an incredibly slow writer. Seriously, trees grow to maturity while I finish a single drabble. And it can be intimidating to see a flurry of new content appear as Iâm writing. But Iâve had to teach myself not to worry about what stories have already been told or are being told as I write. Our voices will always be unique, so even if the trope or setting is familiar, our work will be something that only we could have created.
Megs: Well ⊠I canât say much about anyoneâs speed of writing. Iâm lucky if I get something out every other week.  Those are truly beautiful words about uniqueness. Thank you, Ellie!  Whatâs your writing process?Â
Ellie: Simple - I write three words. Then I panic. Erase two of them. Panic some more. Iâm kiddingâŠmostly. In all seriousness, most of my writing wouldnât exist without @brightpinkpeppercorn. Weâre both night owls, and tend to brainstorm ideas long past midnight. Telling a storyâs concept to a friend helps me develop the idea without the pressure of formatting or picking the perfect words â especially when that friend has an incredible sense of narrative and how to move a story forward. I really do think writing takes a community sometimes, and Iâm so lucky to have one on Tumblr.Â
Megs: I love hearing about the community really coming together. And speaking of community and coming together ⊠fangirl with me about Choices for a little while. Have you read all the books, whatâs your favorite book, favorite One True Pairing (OTP), etc?Â
Ellie: Well, Megs, donât tell anyone but ⊠I actually havenât played three of the biggest series â The Crown and the Flame, Endless Summer, and It Lives Beneath. I really want to, but thereâs so much amazing new content each week, howâs a girl supposed to find the time? Â
Megs: I donât know! I often whine about not being paid to read all the fanfiction out there. Iâm behind right now on both canon and so much fanfiction ... and that is so weird for me. Oh, but I saw that youâve decided to read Veil of Secrets next. Everyone, check out this post on how you can read or reread it with Ellie, if you want!Â
Ellie: Awh, thanks Megs. Yeah - everyone should read it with me. As for a favorite choices book ⊠Saying this in an interview makes it real, doesnât it? gets up and starts to pace in front of Megs Oh gosh, oh gosh ⊠sits back down and takes Megs hands ⊠Iâm so sorry Damien, but...itâs Ride or Die. Releases Megs hands and faces the audience. Listen, this wasnât supposed to happen. Ride or Die was supposed to be a fluffy little story Iâd play for diamonds and laugh at. But the narrative has so much more depth and nuance than Iâd expected, and your decisions have real consequences. And did I mention the three incredible Love Interests?
Megs:Â You actually didnât no.Â
Ellie: Oh - shush you! Laughs.  Well, let me get back to my OTP -  It will always be Damien and Kai from Perfect Match. Damien is a man who loves every part of you â your bad jokes, your terrible cooking â and has loved you for years. Besides, his banter is hysterical, and his ability in bed is literally legendary on Tumblr. I mean, come on. Itâs a no brainer.
Megs: I do miss Damien! Sigh  And, on that note, we are out of time. Thank you, Ellie, for joining me on todayâs show. It was a pleasure to have you on the show. Â
Ellie: Wait, wait - Megs. Before you go, I have one thing I have to give you.Â
This is an edit of us on todayâs show. Thank you for having me and for helping me through my shyness. Â
Megs: It is gorgeous, Ellie! Thank you soooooo much!  I love it!
Ellie:Â Youâre so very welcome.Â
Megs and Ellie hug then turn to the audience and wave. Â
Megs:Â Have a great weekend, everyone!

Amy Martinez (Character Sheet TV Tropes Style) A-E
Amy Martinez is my BNHA/AHS OC!!
She is a young girl from New Orleans and a witch from Miss. Robichauxâs Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies who transfers into UA and earned a spot in the Hero Course. She currently resides in a very lavish mansion that belonged to the former Supreme Fiona Goode, and as it turns out, Amy originally lived in Japan but her parents were murdered by witch hunters who infiltrated Japan in search of her mother. The pro-heroes, unable (and unwilling) to take care of a young witch, had her transferred and placed under the care of Fiona and the New Orleans coven, where she was later taken in by the current Supreme and her godmother Cordelia Goode. Despite her appearance, Amy is very hyperactive, eccentric and mischievous by nature, isnât above doing immoral and wicked things and has an offbeat sense of humor that tends to be off-putting to her new classmates. However, that doesnât mean Amy is all bad, and in fact does have a compassionate and empathetic side that comes out when sheâs with friends, especially her childhood friend Shinsou Hitoshi, ally Midoriya Izuku and later, her new best friend Ashlen Kyanse.
Speaking of which! Ashlen Kyanse is NOT mine, sheâs my best friend @ashleigh-luvs-14catsââs OC! :D :3Â
TV Tropes About Amy:
A Girl and Her Dog: She adopts a Northern Inuit Puppy that she and Ashlen name Dakota and he becomes her loyal animal companion and emotional support dog.Â
A God Am I: Not really, but her words to Midoriya during her rampage resembled something of a god complex (at the time at least).
Amy: You canât beat me Izuku... One For All couldnât defeat Fiona Goode, the reigning supreme at the time, you canât beat me now, even with One For All, you canât beat me either! None of you heroes can! Iâm a goddamn witch!
Accidental Murder: She accidentally kills Aizawa by giving him an apple she didnât know was poisoned and charmed to look perfectly normal by Madison. Which resulted in Madison having to bring him back to life with Vitalum Vitalis.
Action Girl: Amy is always ready for a fight, and knows HOW to fight as well as sheâs proven to be a very valuable and proficient student in the Hero Course.
Adoring The Pests: A tanuki once got into the dorm building, because Amy let it in since she found it âadorableâ and even named him âShadowâ. And although Iida told her to stop feeding the tanukiâs, Amy continues to do so because she thinks theyâre too cute to not feed.Â
Amy also states that she would feed the possums in America because she thought they were adorable.Â
Adorkable: Despite her many eccentricities Amyâs a dork at heart a shown through her love of singing, dancing and making silly puns, and then thereâs her girlish excitement when sheâs around animals and toys as well as her oddly endearing fangirl reactions to Brendon Urie, Melanie Martinez and Stevie Nicks. Further displayed whenever she dances and sings with Shinsou and Ashlen.
Affectionate Nickname: âAmesâ by Kaminari, Shinsou, Ashlen and a majority of her classmates. As well as âWitch Bitchâ by Bakugo, it was initially used as an insult but became his term of endearment for her.
Her ex-boyfriend Damien called her âAmzyâ, albeit as a means to manipulate her.
Ashlen also fondly calls her âWitchyâ.
Fiona tends to call her âSweet Amyâ
Marie Laveau also affectionately refers to her as âBaby Witchâ.
All of the Other Reindeer: Much like Midoriya, Amy was picked on and teased by other kids because she and they believed that she was quirkless and mocked her for it to the point of calling her âPowerless/Quirkless Amyâ. It backfires tremendously when Amy supposedly gains a quirk, but has to pretend itâs only a Telekinesis quirk. The kids didnât stop picking on her, but she really didnât bother making any other friends other than Shinsou because of the bullying.
And this even extends to other witches, while Amy found a new family in her sisters Zoe and Queenie (after Misty, Nan and Madison died) Robichaux opened up to hundreds of other witches around the country. Amy was initially ecstatic and eager to make new friends just like her, only to realize that being a witch didnât stop other witches from bullying her and thinking sheâs weird even for their standards, which just added to Amyâs evergrowing sense of loneliness.Â
Ambiguous Disorder: Has a crippling fear of being abandoned, extreme overreactions and outbursts (taking All-Might and Aizawaâs criticisms of her powers very strongly, screams at Midoriya over a disagreement), indulges in risky behaviors (drugs, shop-lifting, partying at college parties despise being underage), is highly impulsive (Iida has to stop her when she performs in combat too recklessly), prone to emotional meltdowns, shows can occasional lack of empathy and has unstable relationships (Bakugo, Midoriya, Aizawa, etc.). All of which are signs of Borderline Personality disorder or Bipolar Disorder, two of these Iida speculates she may have. However, some of her these behaviorisms also resemble Complex Post-traumatic Stress Disorder due to her inability to control her emotions, feelings of emptiness and worthlessness, and moments of hostility towards her peers to the point of avoiding her friends and relationships. And then Shachath also mentions that she tends to have regular âsongsâ of suicide which act as a further indication that Amy might have CPTSD.Â
Anguished Declaration of Love: During a fit of pure rage, she fights with Midoriya but when he pins her down, her psychotic exterior breaks a little bit as she breaks down crying and tells him that she loves him. However, because of Midoriyaâs insecurities and familiarity with Amyâs mischievous nature, he doesnât believe her and yells at her to stop playing around. Needless to say, it goes all downhill for him from there...
Animal Motifs: Itâs subtle but she has a fox motif as her handle online is âKitsuneGirlâ and she has black tips on her blonde hair, a mischievous and sneaky personality, her tendency to act as a trickster both during and out of combat, and her witchcraft and magic also alludes to the kitsune and their various magical abilities in Japanese culture.
Anti-Hero: Sheâs self-centered, obnoxious, aggressive and occasionally breaks every rule she wants as she believes she can make her own rules due to her powers, but this is her being a troublemaker at best as she tends to take a radical approach as a means of standing up for what she believes in: Love.
Anti-Villain: At her worst she outright sides against her class and does immoral things whether itâs stealing, murder or even attacking allies, although she has no plans to become a villain and merely indulges in her worst impulses when sheâs in a bad mood and isnât above being cruel to her own classmates should they cross her.
Arc Villain: In a way, and relatively minor. As the Culture Festival arc comes to an end, Amyâs overwhelmed by the realization of how the pro-heroes could have taken care of her but didnât, along with being kidnapped by the villains and her and Midoriyaâs dissipating relationship. It becomes too much for her to bear that she flies into an ultra-tantrum and attacks Aizawa, the other teachers and puts her classmates into a slumber (to spare them her wrath) and destroys some of UAâs property and Midoriya has to stop her. But in the end he doesnât win, instead, Shinsou has to talk her down.Â
Arch Enemy: Amy has made several enemies, but of all the foes she feels a tremendous hatred towards and desire to destroy once and for all is Scathach, the wicked witch of the Roanoke forest who she aspires to kill and free all the souls she trapped in the forest.Â
Attention Deficit Oooh Shiny!: Amy is very, very easily distracted by things, especially if thereâs a cute animal involved, music she likes is playing or if thereâs food. She CAN learn to focus but itâs⊠a challenge.
Attention Whore: Almost always desperate for attention regardless of whether itâs positive or negative and always performs outlandish things or says bizarre things if it means having other peopleâs attention on HER.
She even goes so far as to sometimes wear Madisonâs inappropriate undergarments in hopes that someone will flip her skirt all for the sake of attention.Â
The Atoner: After her brush with the apocalypse which allowed her and Mallory to go back in time to stop it, Amy realizes how cruel she was to her classmates and resolves to apologize and become a better classmate and friend to everyone. And she felt horrible when she needed to repeat history (including acting like a jerk) in the new timeline as a means to keep time flowing the way it needed to be but still lived up to promising to be better to her friends. It only gets better when Ashlen comes into her life and inspires Amy to keep living up to this promise.Â
Ax-Crazy: Shows a disturbingly homicidal excitement when annihilating her opponents in battle, gleefully murders when given the chance and is a little too happy when talking about horror stories that include serial killers such as the Axe Man or Twisty The Clown.
And then she goes off the deep-end once the Culture Festival ends by attacking her teacher, classmate (Midoriya), beating her other teachers with little effort and causing destruction around UA, until sheâs eventually subdued by her own merit and Shinsouâs influence.
The Baby of The Bunch: Sheâs the youngest witch of the original coven of Miss Robichauxâs Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies consisting of Cordelia, Zoe, Queenie, Madison, Nan and Misty, with Cordelia being in her late 20âČs at the time while the other girls were at least 17-24 while Amy was only 11. Even as sheâs gotten older, her witch sisters still look after her as the âlittle sisterâ of the coven.Â
Back From The Dead: Amy is momentarily killed and impaled by witch hunters in her first year at UA, but is revived by Misty and returns to her distraught and relieved classmates.
She dies again in her second year but by her ex-boyfriend Damien who made a deal with Papa Legba by trading her life for his own life and drowned her in a bathtub. Only to be revived by Madison.Â
The Bad Guy Wins: Sort of. She takes on a more villainous role after the Culture festival ends and all the stress, realizations and Midoriyaâs growing impatience with her makes her go berserk. And so, Amy attacks her teacher, other teachers, causes mayhem and destruction around UA (although she does spare all of the students), knocks out her classmates so she doesnât hurt them and then partakes in a big fight with Midoriya. However, while he manages to pin her down, Amy gets the upper hand and beats him to a bloody pulp when he ignites more fuel to her raging Sentio Compassios and although her rampage was put to an end, itâs only because she stopped herself and Shinsou (and later All-Might and Cordelia) managed to talk her down. Ultimately, Amy still defeated Midoriya and UA faced some damage from her rage, and in the end, she faced no real consequences as Cordelia urged the school to pardon her while giving them a The Reason You Suck Speech. While Amy was pardoned of the damage she caused, she ended up withdrawing with UA for several months. Â
Badass Adorable: Cute in appearance, generally endearing and funny with her classmates but also hella strong in combat with amazing powers that she knows how to use very well and make her opponents fear her. This is showcased during her fight with Todoroki in which she gets him to realize just how strong she is.
Badass Boast: Canât help but go on about how awesome and powerful she is at times in battle, but at times it can also be scary when sheâs angry.
Amy: You think you can control me? Is that what this is? Thatâs how Hero Society works doesnât it? (bursts into laughter) You... really think you can control me? Wow... you know... this is why witch hunters emerged... they were afraid of witches and their power... you might not be a witch hunter... but the fact that you think you can control me? Is priceless... (suddenly screaming) NO ONE CAN CONTROL ME! NO ONE CAN DEFEAT ME! NO ONE CAN KILL ME, NO ONE!!!
Bad Powers, Good People: It varies on her fluctuating morality but Amy is usually a good person who has the ability to control people not unlike Shinsouâs Brainwashing, except she can actually harm them by frying their brains should they attempt to resist her. Â
Balloon Belly: Always has one after eating too much, which is every day. Especially when she went to Pizza Hut with Shinsou and Ashlen, much to Shinsouâs disgust and Ashlenâs amusement.Â
Because You Were Nice To Me: She and Shinsou became friends for this very simple but pure reason in daycare. She was just coloring and when he wanted crayons she happily gave them to him, and when he called her coloring âprettyâ, she started following him around and vice-versa.
Similarly, her reasoning for becoming best friends with Ashlen is also simple but pure as they met online during the period where Amy stopped attending UA and isolated herself in her mansion. Amy is just as opinionated online as she is in real life, although she also loads up her feed with silly things that she likes along with stories and drawings, but Ashlen genuinely liked her content and complimented her and started talking to her. Which drew Amy closer to her until they meet up in real life and Amy is overly friendly to her, but itâs all because Ashlen was kind to her and listened to her whenever she vented.
Belligerent Sexual Tension: She and Bakugo have been bickering and fighting with each other since they first met as children and never stopped when they met again in high school, but theyâre very passionately in love with each other as Amy says that heâs the one sheâs truly in love with and Bakugo canât easily let her go even if she gets on his nerves, heâs clearly in love with her.
Berserk Button: She has quite a fewâŠ
Any sexist remark is bound to set her off into a tirade but if itâs directed towards her or God forbid her female friends, she WILL hurt you.
Taking her hat (if sheâs wearing it) off is a quick way to piss her off.
Taking her food, whether accidentally or intentionally, WILL provoke her into violence, if youâre a child sheâll hurt you emotionally, but if youâre her age or an adult, itâs fair game as Izuku learned the hard way.
Tampering with her possessions is a VERY fast way to piss her off into a tranquil rage as she maimed a group of college boys (that she didnât invite) when they trashed the bottom floor of her mansion at a party.Â
Donât say anything bad about Brendon Urie. She shares this with Shinsou, who both call it âblasphemyâ.
Donât tell her to âShut Upâ.
And donât yell at her for that matter, although she gets more emotional and upset when yelled at rather than angry.
Frozen. Let it Go. That is all.
Not being appreciated, remembered or neglected is probably her biggest one with her least comical reaction as sheâll grow from irritated to enraged in seconds should she feel that someone is unappreciative of her, has forgotten her or neglecting her for someone else.
Donât call her âstupidâ, but never, ever call her âselfishâ or âcrazyâ, mostly because sheâs self-aware plenty and hates being reminded of it.Â
Hurting ANY of her friends is the fastest way to get on her bad side as she will BURN you alive if you hurt her friends. If youâre lucky though, sheâll just hit you with an empty Dr. Pepper liter.Â
Beta Bitch: When she and Madison are together, Amy essentially becomes her right hand bitch.Â
Beware The Nice Ones: Sheâs not always sweet but is occasionally kind-hearted... until you piss her off that is... and then youâll wish you didnât.
Beware The Silly Ones: Very comical and extremely silly and fun-loving, but her classmates donât underestimate her abilities or her temper as Amy becomes a force to be reckoned with in combat or when properly provoked.
Big Bad Duumvirate: She and Madison arenât evil per se, but considered two of the nastier girls who use their magic for pranks and are even dubbed âThe Sin Sistersâ by 1-A.Â
Big Sister Mentor: Despite her being older than her, Amy (17) is quite sisterly with her witch friend Coco (25), as she teaches her how to do laundry and other household chores with the help of Iida.Â
Big Brother Worship: In a way, Shinsouâs only eight days older than her, but Amy still regards him as like her brother and she adores him very much and believes in him the most in his quest to become a pro-hero. And was heartbroken when she had to leave him for his and her own protection to Robichaux. Â
She absolutely adores her adoptive witch sisters Zoe, Misty and Mallory. Zoe especially because she was the first that she instantly became closest too when they met at Robichaux, and then she became very fast friends with Misty and wanted her to come to Robichaux, so she was overjoyed when she started to live with them. Finally, she and Mallory hit it off quickly due to being close enough in age but Amy still acknowledges Mallory as her senior and looks up to her like a big sister.
Downplayed with Madison. As Amy notes that Madison was a bitch to her as well as a horrible example in New Orleans and still is, but it doesnât stop Amy from following her bad example from time to time, as well as still showing respect to Madison because of her undeniable power and occasional acts of kindness towards her and her friends at UA.
Big Damn Heroes: During the Stain Arc, she shows up just in time to hold off Stain off to keep him from seriously harming Todoroki, Midoriya and Iida and even distracts him for a brief moment.
Big Fancy House: Amy lives in a rather large mansion, while itâs not as big as Yaoyorozuâs itâs still pretty large, spacious and glamourous. It actually belonged to Fiona, but when she died Cordelia gave it all to Amy so she could have a house upon returning to Japan.
The Big Girl: Of 2-A, despite being one of the shortest girls, sheâs certainly the strongest one due to her array of powerful abilities.Â
Big Eater: Amy loves to eat and can clear a whole table due to her voracious appetite as she ate all the desserts in the dorm-rooms the first night, can eat a whole pizza as well as she cleared out the entire table during herâs, Shinsouâs and Ashlenâs first outing as friends and then ate dessert afterwards.
Big Sister Instinct: She took this attitude towards Kota. She wanted to bash Muscularâs head in once Midoriya knocked him out but the latter stopped her and Amy only reconsidered when she realized that Kota shouldnât have to witness death a second time.
Sheâs also somewhat protective of Midoriya despite everything as she once dumped Bakugo for 2 months when she found out that he told the former to commit suicide in middle school.
She also displays this attitude towards some of her female friends especially Yaoyorozu, Ashido, Hagakure and Asui. And extends this towards classmates such as Kouda, Aoyama and Kaminari.
Likewise, sheâs extremely protective of Shinsou, who she regards as like a brother to her, and Ashlen, her best friend who she also regards as like a sister to her.
Big Stupid Doodoo-head: Since Amy isnât very mature, her insults can easily delve from vulgar to very childish such as âstupid-headâ, âdum-dumâ âfartfaceâ and âbutt-headâ. Her arguments with Shinsou tend to delve into this very quickly.
Amy: I would have had him if you actually covered me stupid!Â
Shinsou: Itâs not my fault dum-dum, you should have paid more attention. Instead of waving your magic around all over the damn place.
Amy: Yes it is! You know what? Instead of brainwashing you should wash your dumb face and your stupid mouth because stupid words keep coming out!
Shinsou: Your face is dumb and your insults are even dumber you jabbering bat.
Amy: No YOUR face is dumb and your hair looks like a ratâs butt!Â
Bi The Way: Amy shamelessly expresses her attraction to the same sex, is very much enamored with Yaoyorozu and goes on about how âbeautifulâ and âsmartâ she is. Likewise, sheâs very attracted to some of her fellow witches in her coven such as Mallory and even Madison as she calls Mallory a âfairy goddessâ and Madison a âsexy bitchâ. And as she received a love letter from Monoma, she believed it was from a girl and seemed pretty excited by the thought of it.Â
Birds Of A Feather: She and Shinsou became fast friends in their childhood due to similar senses of humor and then when Amy discovers her witch powers and she found out she could control people just like Shinsou. Even as they grew up and reunited they still share things in common such as witty, sly and clever personalities and tastes in music.
She and Bakugo of all people discover that they have a lot more in common than they thought once they started bonding and it shows through their fierce tempers, desire to prove themselves, unwillingness to show weaknesses and somewhat abrasive tendencies for that matter. This is despite Amy and Bakugo trying to claim that theyâre ânight and dayâ, nobody buys it.
This is also how and why she became fast friends with Ashlen via internet, while they didnât meet each other face-to-face yet, they bonded over similar tastes in music, movies and penchant for puns. Although their personalities are drastically different when they DO meet face-to-face their friendship doesnât deteriorate as they still get along and still share those things in common and indulge in their pillow talk just like any best friends.
Blackmail: Not at first, but when she gets angry at Aizawa she starts making constant threats to tell Cordelia on him for menial things as a means to get him to buckle due to his fear of the Supreme.
Blessed With Suck: Sort of. Amy loves having all of her powers, but Sentio Compassios, her unique power, tends to leave her emotionally exhausted whenever she uses it too much, and she can feel everyoneâs pain and feelings if they are strong enough and Amy becomes instantly affected by them, which she says is not always pleasant since itâs something she canât quite turn off.
Blood Knight: Amy is VERY eager to fight and spar with her friends because it gives her free reign to use her magic and overall just enjoys the thrill of it all.
Blue and Orange Morality: In a way, due to being a witch and coming from a more neutral side rather than the Heroes or Villains side as Amy would rather be supportive of othersâ impulses and desires than operate on a normal morality the heroes follow. For example, sheâs fine with Madison wanting to kill Aizawa, but is offended by Minetaâs perverted antics, and she was also perfectly okay with Shinsou talking smack about Tokoyami (their own classmate and her friend) but crossed the line at Bakugo dissing Brendon Urie.Â
Book Dumb: Sheâs not the best student, but managed to score relatively high in exams as she ranked 11th out of the 21 students at the time. However, Amy is obviously not stupid despite showing some naivete and is in fact quite crafty, just not motivated in school or homework as she frequently needs her friends such as Shinsou, Midoriya, Ashlen and Bakugo to help her. Â
Boomerang Bigot: Despite occasionally boasting about how witches are superior to normal humans with quirks, at the same time even sheâs exasperated by other witches as she often says âother witches are bitchesâ, although is partially due to the fact that sheâs had the misfortune of meeting other witches her age who are just as exclusive and snobbish as the kids she grew up with who picked on her for her lack of a quirk. And then it increases when she meets two other witches (Blair and Laura) in Japan who are somehow WORSE than her as they mock her friends and Amy quickly fights them off.
Bratty Teenage Daughter: Certainly, acts the part at times whether sheâs putting up a whining fuss or showing an apathy towards things, especially towards Aizawa and Iida, the former who acts somewhat fatherly towards her and the latter who acts like an older brother towards her. It helps that sheâs Cordeliaâs goddaughter and she treats her with respect but has little towards the former two.
Amy: Oh Ms. Cordelia I love you! Mr. Aizawa I hate you! Hitoshi I need you! Katsuki, hey fuck you!
Brilliant But Lazy: Sheâs a powerful witch, knows many spells, potions and is very talented with magic and knows how to creatively use it in combat but has zero motivation in working and academics and would rather rely on her magic to do all the work for her or simply use it to cheat off of her more academically inclined classmates.
Broken Bird: Watching her mother being burnt to the stake, her father being lynched and finding her puppy killed by the witch hunters shattered her innocence. And then her experience in New Orleans added to the tragedies as she still felt hunted and hated by the same witch hunters as she was forced her to watch even more people get killed, including new friends and family such as Nan, Misty, Madison, Zoe and Myrtle. Although some of them got better, Amy was still traumatized by watching her new family all get killed, and then Fionaâs intention to kill her and every other one of her new sisters and her new godmother completely broke her. While the coven was able to restore itself and Amy emerged as a strong young witch, the events still broke her and she follows her sisterâs example to avoid looking like sheâs broken and instead forces herself to maintain an excitable and cheerful façade as a means to convince herself that the events didnât break her and instead made her stronger.
Brooding Boy Gentle Girl: Sheâs the Gentle Girl to Todorokiâs Brooding Boy despite not being together, but they are good friends as Amyâs oddly sweet nature can encourage Todoroki to be a little more outgoing.
Likewise with her and Bakugo as sheâs often gentler than he is when it comes to expressing affection and sympathy while Bakugo just angrily broods. However, they can reverse the roles at times where Amy is bitterly sulking and Bakugo shows his softer side by attempting to comfort her.
Brutal Honesty: Amy is outspoken by nature and wonât hesitate to tell someone how it is or how sheâs feeling, however sheâs fully aware of how it can hurt peopleâs feelings, she just doesnât care if it does. However, she CAN and WILL hold her tongue depending on who it is sheâs talking to and depending on the situation she does know when to be more sensitive and delicate.
Bully Hunter: While not the nicest girl in the world, Amy really doesnât care for bullies as she defended Shinsou from bullies when they were growing up and even first met Bakugo by pantsing and pushing him to the ground when he was bullying Midoriya, and also tells off bitchier witches whenever they taunt Coco for her naivete.Â
In fact, she hates bullies so much that she dumped Bakugo for several months when Madison told her that he told Midoriya to jump off the school roof in middle school and said that she couldnât be with a bully.Â
Amy also attacks some nastier girls at the mall when they look at Ashlen funny.Â
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Sheâs an oddball, by and far, but sheâs a very skilled witch in and out of combat, shows a cunning side and is very knowledgeable in politics, sociology and human relationships.Â
Shinsou even imagined her as his lawyer during a nightmare he had.
Burn The Witch!: Nearly suffers this fate as a child right after watching her mother get burnt until All-Might and the pro-heroes save her just before they can light her up.Â
Calling The Old Man Out: Despite not being her father, she calls out Aizawa for being an unfair teacher to his past students and for not taking her in when he could have after her parents died since nothing stopped him and the other UA staff teachers from adopting Eri, but allowed Amy to be shipped off to America with people who ended up indirectly exposing her to even more bloodshed that further traumatized her. She also chides him by saying that heâs not good at even looking after his other students and calls him âthe wrong personâ to look over anyone.Â
Cannot Keep a Secret: While she CAN keep an important secret, she deliberately at times tells some secrets as she freely blabs whatever secret sheâs supposed to be keeping or should keep a secret for the sake of not embarrassing her friends.
Amy: Sorry I woulda arrived earlier but Hitoshi had some really bad jock itch so I made sure he was feeling okay after.
Canât Take Criticism: Amy CAN take some criticism, but at the same time she canât take certain criticism, particularly about her character and actions.Any criticism or disapproval she gets, often irritates her because she takes it all very harshly.Â
The Caretaker: Shinsou and Ashlen are normally the ones looking after her, but Amy can easily return the favor when theyâre upset. As whenever Shinsou is depressed and feeling low, Amy opts to take care and look after him by giving him space, a âHappinessâ kit of junk food and caffeine, and a playlist for sadness and anxiety. Likewise, Amy is more than happy to take care of Ashlen whenever she is distraught as she stays with her the entire day, gives her tender, love and care and also gives her ice-cream to add to the comfort while also showing her some of her favorite movies or shows like Friends, The Office and Brooklyn 99. Â
Catchphrase: Has a habit of cheerfully saying âOh Mylanta~!â and asking âSo whatâs the T Christine?âÂ
And her favorite way of describing something unappealing is calling it âa bag of dicksâ.
Character Development: During her first year at UA she had no true intention of becoming the hero Japanâs society would have wanted her to be and had no real desire to be a team-player with her classmates and only wanted to return to Shinsou, however, she grew to really like her new friends and changed her attitude and became a lot friendlier to the point of opening up and sharing her wealth with everyone and going out of her way to provide them laughter and entertainment. She did relapse into insanity for a while and had to quit UA for a short time, but still managed to slowly overcome this because of her friendâs influence. And by the beginning of her second year, sheâs on better terms with her classmates and becomes increasingly kinder when her new best friend Ashlen enters the picture and inspires Amy to be more compassionate, sympathetic and helpful towards her class.
Child Hater: Downplayed, while sheâs annoyed by anything centered around children and when people talk about children, sheâs actually more jealous of the attention children get and doesnât genuinely hate children themselves as she was actually pretty fond of Kota and bonded with him over the loss of their parents.
Played straight though in her case with Eri, who she disliked, but later warmed up to her.Â
However, ultimately her aversion to children stems more from the fear that she wonât know how to properly care for them but she claims that she DOES hate only children who are ânasty little shitsâ.
Chevalier vs. Rogue: Sheâs the Rogue to Ashlenâs Chevalier as Amy uses her magic to fight dirty and play tricks on her opponents while Ashlen relies primarily on her stealth and combat skills while maintaining a noble, honorable approach in battle.
Chivalrous Pervert: Amy is an unabashed pervert (but nowhere near Minetaâs level) as she likes to stare at her male classmatesâ butts and tends to be a flirt, but sheâs a good person at heart and never does anything without consent.Â
Clingy Jealous Girl: Amy is a VERY jealous person by nature, but especially towards the people sheâs in love with, as she grew to dislike Uraraka when she realized the latter also had a crush on Midoriya, dismissing her as a basic, boring girl with nothing going on. And then she displays this same jealousy towards Camie after hearing that she had to take a remedial course with Bakugo, Todoroki and Yoarashi as Amy referred to her as a âskintight slutâ.
Cloudcuckoolander: Sheâs clearly off her rocker, has an odd way of thinking, randomly breaks out into song and dance and seems to be pretty much be in her own world.Â
Combat Pragmatist: A dirty fighter by nature, Amy uses whatever she can get her hands on if it means success, often through the use of telekinesis to make people lose their footing.
She used a stone to bash Midoriyaâs face while using her telekinesis for speed, knowing her own physical strength wonât do much damage, and used a piece of heavy debris as a blunt weapon during a battle to stun him and swat him away from her and then into the ground.
Once again, she uses her telekinesis beforehand to steal sweat from Bakugo to use his own explosions against him in a battle.
When in a bad mood and ready to lash out, she surprises Aizawa by blinding him with a potion to give her the chance to attack him, as well as attacking him from behind and using his capture weapon to cover his eyes and entrap him.
Likewise, she always uses Shinsouâs capture weapon against him to trap him or cover his mouth so she can get the upperhand.Â
Comedic Sociopathy: Downplayed but itâs clear she finds it hilarious to see other people get hurt whether physically or if a jokeâs made at their expense. Even though deep down she doesnât truly like to see them actually hurt.Â
Comic Trio: With her witch sisters sheâs this with Mallory and Coco, with her UA classmates sheâs this with Shinsou and Kaminari.
However itâs downplayed with her, Shinsou and Ashlen. Amy is always taking the lead by getting her friends to do something wild and fun, and although Shinsou is far from stupid, he does nothing to stop her and simply follows her lead, while Ashlen is always trying to reign Amy in when sheâs going out of control. Â
Companion Cube: Sheâs rather fond of her broomstick âBrookeâ to the point of talking to it like it was an actual person, and Shinsou even jokes that it might as well be her lover.
Amy: Ahhh I love you so much baby... Iâm going to take you to my room and stroke your bristles...
Conditioned to Accept Horror: Due to seeing her parents die before her eyes AND every other horror she witnessed in New Orleans with the witches, voodoo witches and witch hunters, sheâs able to go through every horrific thing that occurs at UA without being fazed much. She even tells Bakugo that when enough horrible things happen to you, youâre bound to get used to it.
Cool Big Sis: Takes up this role wherever Kota is concerned as she frequently takes him out for ice-cream, lets him ride with her on her broomstick and took him to an amusement park.
 And when she got over her initial dislike of Eri (but retains her jealousy sometimes), she somewhat became this to her, stating that Eri âneeds a woman in her lifeâ and becomes that âwomanâ in an odd, albeit irresponsible way as she lets her play with her dog Dakota, also gives her her favorite Disney movies to watch, taught her how to sing and let her bake cookies with her, but she also let her have her first soda, gave her candy and chocolate and let her buy any clothes and toys that she wanted while also encouraging her to be sassy.
Corrupt The Cutie: Already broken from seeing her parents die, when 11 year old Am is taken to America and attends Robichaux, guardians like Fiona, Madison and Zoe (to a lesser extent) slowly corrupt her into a morally ambiguous young witch whoâs not above murdering and deception if it means achieving a goal. Â
Creepy Child: Her experiences at New Orleans with her witch sisters turned her into one as she began making much more morbid jokes about death, ghosts and demons, and then smiling at inappropriate times and generally making adults feel uncomfortable. She was only 10 at the time. Â
Creepy Shadowed Undereyes: Not visible but thatâs because she hides them with make-up. Theyâre not nearly as bad as Shinsouâs, but when sheâs angry, going crazy or depressed theyâre much more prominent.Â
Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass: Sheâs very much a comedic girl, but also very much a dangerous girl with a LOT of powers that sheâs very skilled with in combat and WILL use them to rip someone a new one.
Cry Cute: When Amy drops her guard and sheds tears, sheâs surprisingly more sympathetic and endearing even though she claims to be an âugly crierâ.
Cuddle Bug: Amy is a very affectionate girl who craves the affection in return and loves to hug her friends, especially Shinsou, Ashlen, Midoriya, Mallory and Todoroki.Â
Curbstomp Battle: Played Straight in her fights at some of the thugs at the USJ and her two fights with Kaminari and Iida at the Sports Festival. As Kaminari attempts to flirt with her, Amy is flattered but quickly pushes him out of the ring with her telekinesis within a matter of 10 seconds. Similarly, she taunts Iida with her teleportation and pretends to give him an opening to get her out of the ring, only to teleport right at the last second and then push HIM out of the ring again with her telekinesis.
Downplayed in her fight with Midoriya. She picks a fight with him after the Culture Festival when he provokes her, and while he doesnât want to fight her he still gains the upperhand and pins her down. However, itâs Played Straight when he tries to get her to calm down and instead pushes her buttons with a poor choice of words, which reinvigorates Amyâs rage and awakens the full extent of her Sentio Compassios as she gets big and utterly dominates him.Â
Also played straight during her fight with Aizawa, although she cheated by blinding him with a potion, she still beat the hell out of him with her telekinesis and Sentio Compassios and only stopped when Cordelia intervened.
Curtains Match The Windows: Sort of. She has blonde hair and amber eyes.
Cute and Psycho: Amyâs endearing and sweet but also straight-up insane and cheerfully talks about murder and death while expressing an excitement when the opportunity to kill shows up.
Cute Witch: Eccentric as she may be, Amy is fairly cute for a powerful witch.
Cuteness Proximity: Amy ALWAYS gushes whenever sheâs with adorable animals, especially if itâs puppies, kittens, foxes and ferrets. Itâs one of the few times we see her acting like a normal teenage girl.Â
Daddyâs Girl: She was one to her father Hiroshi, and despite the way she occasionally abuses and disrespects him, itâs clear she has a strong attachment to Aizawa as he is the only fatherly figure she knows after her real father died.
Dark Is Not Evil: While she has a mean streak and a wicked side, Amy is truly not a bad person at heart as she decides to remain on the heroâs side so she can protect the people she loves and had no true intention of going to the villainâs side.
Deadpan Snarker: She might be flighty, but sheâs very quick-witted and knows how to make clever insults and puns towards others, but especially at Shinsou, Madison, Bakugo, Iida and Aizawa.Â
Then again, two of her closest friends are Shinsou and Madison, and then FIONA was the one looking after her so she picked up some snark.Â
Death Glare: Since sheâs often seen smiling, she can give one hell of an effective death glare. Itâs so intimidating that the minute Shinsou sees it, he encourages whoever is in the vicinity (whether his classmates OR teacher) to leave as fast as possible or apologize if they angered her.
Death Seeker: Shachath occasionally comes to her as she says that Amy tends to âsingâ to her which implies that sheâs contemplating suicide often.
Defrosting Ice Queen: Towards her classmates as she goes from insulting and pranking them, to more buddy-buddy with them, particularly with Iida and Bakugo. Also, while she freezes Midoriya out for a while, his kindness and patience with her allows her to defrost back to him.
Later, because of her friend Ashlenâs encouragement, she defrosts towards Eri as well.
Determinator: Sure Amyâs a slacker, but when sheâs determined to do something, she gets down to it and wonât stop until she gets what she wants. To the point of even sacrificing dignity and being her most stubborn self if it means achieving a goal.
Dissonant Laughter: When Aizawa is scolding the class for knowing of the plan to rescue her and Bakugo, she bursts into sudden, uncontrollable and mad laughter, BEFORE Bakugo even made Kaminari use his quirk to get a laugh out of everyone...
Disproportionate Retribution: Midoriya drinks her lemonade and eats her fruit sandwich, not knowing it was herâs, and she flies into a rage and even goes so far as to get a plastic plate and start beating him with it and chasing him out of the room.
And then again, she nearly crushes Midoriya in her Giant Sentio Compassios form because he called selfish and cruel.
Iida tells Aizawa that Shinsou (during a depression) drew a line into the wall with a sharpie which got him in trouble, and Amy ralles a group of students to protest against him to the point where he broke down and cried according to Midoriya.Â
Aizawa gives her a bad grade on an essay and tells Cordelia about how sheâs misbehaved in class, and Amy quickly retaliates by threatening to burn his sleeping bag. She didnât actually do it, but she nearly did.Â
Distracted By The Sexy: She utilizes this tactic against some of her opponents and wears Madisonâs crotchless panties and âaccidentallyâ flashes them to Shishikura during the Provisional Hero License arc to get him to back off. It works..
Double Standard: Very fond of finding these and pointing them especially when it comes to gender and topics involving humans and witches.Â
Drama Queen: Whenever Amy gets excited she tends to break out into song and dance, and when sheâs upset she tends to go into a âwoe is meâ mode and exaggerate her misery.Â
The Dreaded: Shinsou knows better than to provoke and/or push Amyâs buttons and is quick to warn people when he can tell sheâs in a bad mood and even goes so far as to alert others from doing or saying certain things that WILL anger her or simply tell them to quickly apologize should they provoke her by accident. And it becomes more apparent to the rest of her class the more they learn of her unpredictable temper, mood swings and array of powers and begin to go to great lengths to avoid provoking her. Â
Even after their fight and even after Amy starts to become a better, saner person, Midoriya is still terrified of her.Â
Dreadful Musician: Loves to sing but tends to go off-key at times, and is an absolutely horrible violin player to the point were even Present Mic and Bakugo canât stand it.Â
Drowning My Sorrows: Non-alcoholic example as she drowns in soda (Dr. Pepper or Big Red) whenever sheâs really sad or lamenting after a failed test.
Drunk On The Dark Side: Spending time with the witches of New Orleans has encouraged her to embrace her darker impulses and be willing to do anything to get what you want and need. And by the time she goes to UA, Amyâs very self-indulgent and not above doing immoral things. However, she does start to stray away from this for the sake of her new friends.
Dude Magnet: Despite her quirky nature, sheâs got Bakugo, Todoroki and Monoma all holding some kind of torch for her. Â
Dumb Blonde: Subverted. Amy seems and acts like a flake and can lack common sense, but sheâs actually very sly, crafty and manipulative several times and has shown to be able to really think ahead before she springs into an action plan.
Easily Forgiven: Shinsou will ALWAYS forgive her for anything she does no matter how amoral or messed up it may be, and that includes murder, manipulation and deception or even going on a rampage throughout his school. And he tends to quickly comes to her defense and excuse her actions by saying that sheâs been through enough and that she shouldnât be judged for what she does.
Midoriya also forgives her pretty quickly even after she attempted to crush him with her Sentio Compassios form and destroyed his apology gift (but fixed it later). Aizawa also forgave her fast despite the fact that she blinded him and attacked him.Â
Shinsou: (to Aizawa, after Amyâs rage) Okay... look... I now youâre not happy with her now, but hereâs the truth sensei, Amy is not bad at all, she just grew up in an environment that showed her a lot of bad things. She never wanted that life, she was forced into it, itâs not her fault...
Emotionless Girl: Amy becomes withdrawn, surly and apathetic after she leaves UA, and itâs much more prominent when she interns with Endeavor alongside Midoriya, Bakugo and Todoroki, all of whom are unnerved by her new demeanor.Â
The Empath: Her father had a quirk called âFeelingsâ that allowed him to feel what others felt, which Amy is revealed to have inherited from him when his quirk manifested in her unique power âSentio Compassiosâ, an extremely powerful form of divination that allows Amy to feel and see what others are feeling, as well as their auras. As such Amy can empathize with the people around her and it makes her feel the need to help them out with anything they may need any help with.
Enfant Terrible: Upon going to New Orleans and entering Robichaux, being exposed to all the bloodshed and betrayal with her fellow witches turns her into this as she easily gets corrupted by the new lifestyle and doesnât hesitate to help her sisters kill their enemies brutally as she happily joined them in stabbing the Axe Man to death. She just turned 11 at the time.
Even Bad Women Love Their Mamas: Sheâs a trouble-maker at best and a sadistic bitch at worst, but no matter what, she never loses her love for deceased parents and loves her godmother Cordelia dearly. In fact, Cordelia is currently the only adult she hasnât insulted or disrespected.Â
Even Evil Can Be Loved: Amyâs not truly evil by nature, but even when sheâs at her most psychotic, her friends still love her regardless of the madness. Shinsou in particular still holds a lot of platonic love for her even when sheâs lost her mind, and her new best friend Ashlen has embraced even Amyâs less than savory qualities because she still loves her deeply and regards her as her best friend. And then her coven still loves her deeply, especially Cordelia, Madison and Zoe.Â
Even Evil Has Standards: Amyâs an anarchist who loves the wicked side of things and has no issues killing people, manipulating them for her own gain and stealing, but even sheâs appalled by things or other villains have done.
She was quite unnerved in the presence of All For One and claimed that sheâs never been that afraid since Fiona.
She also turned down the offer from the League of Villains because she didnât want to abandon her friends at UA as she realized that the students there are good people that she doesnât want to harm.
She sympathized with the League of Villains stating that she understood them and stated that Society is messed up because she would never ostracize someone for being different.
Despite her (occasionally) rocky friendship with Midoriya, she dumped Bakugo for 2 whole months when Madison tells him that he told Midoriya to kill himself in middle school and Amy was absolutely disgusted by such cruelty.
Amy will not hurt anyone innocent, even when she becomes homicidal she only attacks people who are attacking her, and even if itâs her classmates (such as Iida, Tokoyami, Jirou who attempted to stop her) she merely knocks them out via telling them to âsleepâ and does nothing to hurt them or the rest of 1-A.Â
She respected Fiona but disapproved of how she treated Cordelia, and likewise, despises Endeavor for what he did to Todoroki and the rest of his family.
Amyâs all for dirty tricks and humiliating others for fun, but will stop when she sees someone getting legitimately hurt.
Even The Girls Want Her: Her witch friend Darcy has an obsessive, mad crush on her.
Everyone Has Standards: Amyâs something of an airhead and not all there but even there are things that bewilder her or âickâ her out.
Sheâs a pervert but even she was appalled by Minetaâs lack of shame in his perversion.
Even when she hated Eri at the time, she still tossed Mineta into the stratosphere via telekinesis for making an inappropriate comment to her.
For all that she and Iida despise each otherâs contrasting quirks, Amy sees from his point of view when frat brothers trash her mansion and act very uncouth even for her liking.
She finds it amusing to point out things she knows about people while they freak out and wonder how she knew that, but crosses the line at stalking and obsession because that âicksâ her out.
Despite her childish nature, even Amy is baffled by her older witch sister Cocoâs inability to take care of herself and perform simple tasks such as laundry and cleaning.
Evil Laugh: Gives off one hell of an effective one akin to the Wicked Witch of The West, itâs so wicked sounding it genuinely disturbs her classmates and even Aizawa.

MY HOT TAKES ON THE HOT DADS
Mat: Iâm a sucker for a guy who loves coffee and rambles on and catches himself rambling on and embarrassedly stops himself. Heâs also hecking gorgeous, goddamn.
Hugo: Kind of a stuffy nerd but not in a bad way. I get the feeling he wouldnât make me feel bad for not knowing something, but might fall into Teacher Mode too often.
Craig: Super nice to look at and a very decent guy but kinda boring so far.
Damien: HE IS SO PRETTY AND SO INCREDIBLY EXTRA. Iâm kind of intimidated. XD Not sure if heâd be fun to be around all the time, but he sure is fun to watch from a distance.
Brian: Cute but the oneupmanship is exhausting. Give it a rest, buddy!
Robert: He reminds me of some of the guys I grew up with. While their kind of behavior was intriguing when I was a teenager, it turns out to be EXTREMELY off-putting in a middle-aged dude. Points to him for not making it weird when I had Dave turn down his propositioning, though.
Joseph: His familyâs whole deal creeps me out. Not in the oooh spooky sort of way but in the MASSIVE RED FLAGS OF DYSFUNCTION sort of way. His wife tried to pick Dave up in a dive bar and appears to be constantly drunk. Their children are all named variations of Christian and act really weird. I donât even want Dave to be friends with this guy lest he get entangled in his weird drama.
#mercury plays dream daddy#i'm not redoing anything in this playthrough so however it ends up is however it ends up#if it ends up being ultimately 'sad dad with awesome kid makes some friends' simulator i'll be more than pleased

Oooh if we're doing angst-fuelled hcs I have one. Dark can switch between appearing more like damien and celine, he tries to avoid using celine's face apart from in special circumstances but sometimes he wakes up looking like celine and doesn't want to go through the effort of changing and one day Wilford walks in whilst he looks like celine and he's so happy to see her again that dark doesn't want to change back and hurt him but has to - OR Wil doesn't recognise him as celine and it hurts dark
Okay. This is just sad enough already. In order to make it sadder I would need to write a one shot.But also think of Dark begging Wil just to look a little closer to see who they are, and Wil just not getting it and wandering off leaving Dark just a little more broken.

Babysitter Duty
Ezayne belongs to @mygardenofmuses
â ⊠Ezayneâ Bruceâ voice came from the other side of the phone line. He called with a withheld number, much different than usual, but maybe the former assassin wonât notice this detail, regarding the time of the day - Bruceâ call was at three in the morning. So far nothing out of the ordinary - what was out of the ordinary, indeed,  was the tone he spoke in: not cheerful, but serious, with his voice slightly hoarse. â - you awake?â he joked half-heartedly, though he could hear him clear before and didnât think of him as that kind of sleepwalker.
Ezayne was a bit startled by that call. However, when he recognized the voice, a wide smile appeared on his face. âBRUCE!â he squeaked. He turned around and sighed in relief, watching that Neela was still sleeping peacefully by his side. He got up and walked to the window. âHey Bruce, yes, Iâm awake. You OK? Your voice sounds a bit different.â âIâm so happy to hear youâ Bruce said genuinely. âUm ⊠no. Can you help me out?â Bruce asked, regretting that wording as soon as he finished the sentence. âSure buddy! Anything for my best friend. What can I do for you.?â Ezayne asked, smiling a bit. As soon as he finished the call, heâd get dressed and go to check up on him to ensure he was alright. â ⊠some babysitting?â Bruce asked in a cryptic tone. Indeed, his eyes were closed shut for a second. There was no one else he could ask ⊠â - itâs just a night, or a day, I donât know, theyâre on their way, I mean - if itâs alright.â âSure thing buddy⊠Who is the little guy on the way? Your brother, cousin, sonâŠ?â Knowing Bruce, Ezayne was open to all possibilities. âOr is a girl? Or gender-neutral? Just asking, I want the kid to feel comfortable.â âBoy. Damien, heâs ten and acts like 20. The other is 20, but behaves like ten, heâs Damien, too. Theyâre gonna explain. Theyâre my sonsâ he spilled eventually. âThey might arrive at any time, I just donât know how long it takes them.â âOh wow! Whoa. So Damien and Damien Jr. Ffff⊠things like this remind me youâre actually older than you seem.â he chuckled, playing a bit with his hair. âNeela and Amil are sleeping right now, but donât worry, Iâll take good care of them. Iâll go open the door for them now.â he commented, as he put his housecoat on. âWill you be alright, Bruce? If thereâs anything I can do for you, just tell me.â âYesâ Bruce said, skipping the first question on purpose. âWe got a problem, you ⊠still donât like demons, do you? The young one may ⊠be ⊠withonerightnow? Itâs fixing his wings, itâs just a small one, they said - â There was some shifting as he stood up - heâd been one one place for long enough and continued to run in circles by now.  âUh⊠Buddy, you might ask your kid to take off wherever demon-esque he has into his hands, otherwise he wonât be able to cross the barrier.â Ezayne felt a bit worried. While the barrier was wonderful and protect both him, his family and the ghosts from all kind of demon-related dangers, it could be troublesome for friends like Bruce. Bruce threw his head back in frustration and just looked at the ceiling for a while. What was it with people and barriers that kept out all the wrong people? â ⊠canât. Itâs part, for a week they said. Then it dies.â Well, what now⊠â ⊠you could stay at the castle. Candy Castle. Remember?â âOooh yes, I do! The old church, right?â Ezayne felt a bit nervous. He couldnât help it, Kerberous had put that barrier for his well-being, and usually it was a good thing⊠but it often created problems to Bruce. He just hoped his friend didnât mind. âYeah. I was there, just ⊠â he calculated. âUm ⊠two days ago. Lucyâs gone, you have the place for yourself. Just might bring some fresh food ⊠and nevermind the notes. Indeed, take them away. The little ones might make connections I donât want them make yetâ he said urgenty. âYou mind to stay there? Itâs not long, as I say ⊠and no demonâs gonna find you there. Zagam - â And thatâs where his voice broke. It wasnât good to think of him. Bruce sighed on the other end of the line as he wiped another tear away that escaped his eye. â - ⊠triedâ he finished his sentence eventually, his voice nearly inaudible. âAlright, Iâll get rid of those notes and check the place to ensure theyâll comfortable. Like a little apartment just for them.â Ezayne felt relieved, it seemed like the barrier didnât bother Bruce all that much. However, he noticed the pain in his friendâs voice, and that pushed him to take off his housecoat and get dressed faster. âBruce? Whatâs up? What happened with Zagam? Are you OK?  You can tell me⊠if you wantâŠâ âI donât knowâŠâ There was another pause. As Bruce spoke on, he seemed a little more collected. âI worry. He wonât let me follow, just said it was dangerous. But heâll be back.â That didnât sound as convinced as Bruce had hoped it to be. âEros is with himâ he tried again. âEzayne, I ⊠I gotta call the kids, tell them to fly to the church. You meet them there?â he suggested. âSure, Iâll meet them there. But Bruce.â Ezayneâs voice was serious. While the ex-assassin gave him freedom to follow his heart and do whatever he wanted; he truly cared for Bruceâs well-being. âI really donât know Zagam, neither Eros. I donât know who are they, what kind of people they are. But you know I donât trust demons, and the fact Zagam isnât letting you follow him⊠I donât know you, but this stinks. Feels almost as if he was hiding stuff from you, and I donât like that. Thereâs no relationship which will last if there are secrets. Believe me, I know by experience. Now call your kids. Iâm on my way there. Wherever you are⊠you can go out, if you want. Thereâs always a better place.â âI wait till he comes back. When he comes back⊠I let you know. Iâll give the little one your number. Thank you, Ezayne. Iâm in your debt.â Bruce finished the call right away - there was no time to waste. He had no idea what happened when Damien tried to pass the barrier Ezayne mentioned, but he for sure didnât want to find out. It was good Damien knew where the old church was - all he had to do was text him and change their destination: Candy Castle. âItâs all good, Bruce. Anything for a friend.â Ezayne managed to answer before Bruce ended the call. He hoped that the barrier didnât end killing the poor kid. Then again, he guessed Bruceâs kid wasnât really a demon, so perhaps the barrier wouldnât work against him. But it was better to be safe than sorry. He woke up Neela and Amil to let them know what was going on, and Morgana and Jeeves promised that theyâd do anything in their ectoplasmic hands to protect Ezayneâs family. Comforted by the thought that all the ghost staff would be protecting his girlfriend and their son during his absence, Ezayne walked out of the manor with several blankets and food for the kids, including candy. Bruceâs kids surely liked candy tooâŠNext destination: the Candy Castle. - The wind whistled through the leaves as Damien jumped over the gravestones to practice departing and landing. The boy had a couple of injuries due to their earlier training. Nothing serious -just a couple of scratches, a bruise or two. He was definitely still able to fight. So as the stranger came closer, Damien turned to the church behind him, considered to notificate the older one⊠and decided against it. They had no time to waste and he could handle a single opponent. By the time Ezayne came into view, Damien perched on a stone angel, his eyes all white in the darkness around them. âYou are - ?â the bat kid asked, still a safe distance away. The blue-haired man couldnât help but smile. So this was one of Bruceâs kids? He was very bat-like, sure his father was proud of him. He spoke with a soft voice, trying to show to the kid that there was no reason to be afraid. âMy name is Ezayne. Ezayne Charles Raymond Moriarty. And you are Damien, right? Your father told me about you.â âWhy should I believe you?â Damien called, still from afar. â - despite the fact that you know my first name and where to find me, tooâ the boy wanted to know, not completely convinced just yet. Basically growing up on his own let him develop a good amount of distrust against strangers. âWell, because your father told me to watch over you and the other Damien tonight. What other reason would I have to be awake at these hours of the night? If you father wouldnât have called me, Iâd be all warm and comfy in my bed, sleeping.â he answered with a chuckle, amused by the kid reply. That kid was very smart, he liked that. Damien narrowed his eyes, even though he gave Ezayne a pass. He knew the others real name, too, thing that no one should know that wasnât entrusted. âI donât need someone to watch over me. Iâm not a childâ Damien recited his mantra and jumped down then, after all. âAnd I can take care of myselfâ he made clear and folded his wings on his back, the movement still kind of weird for him. The demon in his body kept them up for him still, even when he could feel it flinch with all its might as he tried to enter the church before. He ended up waiting outside while Dae tried to get rid of all the crosses within. âIâm sure you can, and I donât doubt it. But your father gave me this mission. I canât fail. Heâs one of my best friends, after all.â Ezayne answered, speaking in a peaceful tone. âYou know what, I have a son who is a bit older than you. Heâs sixteen, and loves videogames. But heâs very shy and he doesnât have too many friends. Maybe one day, when you manage to get rid of the demon thing in your body, you could drop by the manor and come to meet him.â Ezayne suggested with a smile. âDad told you about it?â Damien realized. Well he might as well tell then. âItâs why Iâm out hereâ he admit with a nod to the church. âFeelâs weird to get close. Dae said heâs gonna fix it, but heâs just so slow ⊠â The last words not meant for Ezayne, Damien stretched them out, meaning to tease the other one. âI can imagine so. Demons are often source of trouble, though your father thinks otherwise.â Ezayne shrugged, sitting not too far away from the kid. Perhaps, igf he seemed smaller, Damien would relax. âWe always had our differences in that department. But we remain friends all the same.â âYouâre the most normal âfriendâ of my fatherâs that Iâve met so farâ Damien admit, though he was silently wondering if that was truly the case. âHe said we should stay here, but wonât spill quite why. I let him know you arrivedâ he warned Ezayne and took out his phone to send him a text. It looked like Damien had relaxed. That was something good. âWell, I have my fair share of unusual abilities⊠but just because you have an special ability, it doesnât mean you canât live like a normal person.â Ezayne answered, giving him a kind smile. âItâs strange that he didnât tell you anything. Mmmh⊠This is starting to worry me. You call him. Maybe Iâll call him again, after you talk with him.â Damien glanced at the man and smirked slightly. His dad didnât just keep him all uninformed then. He looked back at his phone and started to type. âI do not listen to any sort of order, just when it comes from my dad or my momâ he explained his disobedience. He already confused that Zagam with it, and when they were supposed to work together, it was just good to let Ezayne know about it. âGood, family is the most important.â Ezayne agreed with him to an extent. His family wasnât tied by blood liness, but they loved each other all the same. âWhoâs your Mom, by the way? I know you father dated for a while a woman called Amelia⊠now heâs with a demon, Zagam⊠but you seem much older than that. How old are you, by the way?â Damien finished the message while Ezayne was talking and hit send before he looked up to reply. âIâm ten. My - he says our - momâ he revealed with another glance at the church, â - is a bad woman, so that may be why. She calls herself ⊠catwoman, it should be her name in this tounge. I donât like him that quiet for such a long timeâ he changed the subject right then. Dae didnât even come out when Ezayne appeared and didnât bitch back about the comment earlier. âWill you go check?â He asked Ezayne, knowing it wasnât much use to try to enter himself. âA bad woman?â Ezayne arched one eyebrow. At first he wondered how much bad had to be someone to be considered âbadâ for Bruce. Then again, Bruceâs standards were kind of special and certainly unpredictable. And women could be just as bad as men. âIâve known bad women in my life, too. But 'Catwomanâ? Sounds like the half villain, half superheroine of the comicsâŠâ he mumbled toward the end. âI donât like that quiet either. This is not normal on him. But sure, I can go check. Can you follow me until the door of the church? I donât want to leave you alone here.â Damien didnât comment Ezayneâs musings, not even sure if he should tell in the first place. âItâs all good, we can hear another clearly so I let you know when I see anything and he lets you know when I doâ the kid assured. They had a working system. Heâd just practice like he did before. ââŠAlright.â Ezayne wasnât sure if the kid was serious - they just had met, so he needed some time before he could judge. âIf you need anything, donât hesitate into calling me, alright?â After saying that, he made his way to the ancient church, hoping that the other Damien would be at least just as nice as this kid. He knocked on the door, trying to seem friendly. âHello? Damien? Iâm Ezayne! You father sent me to watch over you and your⊠I guess heâs your brother. Are you there?â The door was unlocked because the last one who used it had been Bruce, just some days ago. So when Ezayne knocked against it, it fell a bit open and let his voice echo through the small hall on the inside, up to Daeâs ears. The place had changed since Bruce lived in here, back when he was still new to Metro City. Rows of benches were still lined up, but the cross on the end of the aisle was missing. Candles got replaced for electric light, sideboards and cabinets filled with some treasures. Dae stood out in the middle of the big room, still trying to figure out the meaning behind the threads and notes that hung all around the place, most of them ending on the blackboard behind the podium, where that cross used to be. âYeah! Yeah sure, come on inâ Dae greeted the other and plucked another sheet of paper off a string. âGood to see you. Can you lend me a hand?â He asked and walked up to Ezayne to welcome him in. Dae was taller than his father Bruce, and unlike the small one, completely unharmed. âOh, sure!â Ezayne rushed to help him. âThose are your fatherâs notes. Would you mind giving them to me? I can take them to him later.â That, if Bruce is still living in the same place that he showed me a while ago⊠he thought. âSo⊠Damien, right? And the other kid is also Damien? Bruce must like a lot that name to use it for both of his kids.â he chuckled a bit, trying to break the ice. âNot quiteâ Dae smiled and flipped through the notes another time, but handed them to Ezayne as requested. He knew how to get information from his father, so there was no need for these. âIâm kiddoâs future version. I came here just some weeks ago and donât intend to stay for long, but I thought while I do, I ⊠might as well help.â Good he already gathered most of the crosses and his dad seemed to have hung up the glass of the windows. Sure not to let sunlight inside. Dae grabbed the smaller crosses he found scattered across the rooms and laid onto a bench then, just to keep the small one out until he figured things out. âDamienâs future version? That⊠kinda doesnât surprise me.â Ezayne snickered, clearly not impressed, yet amused with the whole thing. âBruce gets involved with demons, his son travels in time⊠Your younger self told me that your mother was bad but man, Iâm actually wondering what is she like, because you guys really make an interesting family!â he commented, and looked at the crosses he was collecting. âUh, why are you doing that? Do the crosses hurt your little self, orâŠ?â âI bet theyâre the reason why he canât quite come inâ Dae explained, still busy picking some of them up.  He overheard the conversation going on outside and aware that Damien was listening to them right now, too. â - so Iâll bring them all out, along with the bibles and what I can find. Weâll have to test it again. Uh, what exactly are we hiding for? Some kinda robot?â he guessed into the blue, following the first few hints he read on the notes before Ezayne came in. âHonestly I have no idea. I met three robots in my life, two were nice people and one of them was a redhead psychopath.â Ezayne answered with a shrug. âBut Metro City has worse dangers than that last robot I mentioned: demons out of control, the Doom Syndicate, assassins⊠Heck, even here myself, my hands are not the cleanest. But this city used to be a jungle some years ago. You missed the worst, kiddo. Youâre lucky.â he patted gently his arm. âYeah yeah yeah. Red-headed psychopath, you say ⊠â It was a long shot, but one worth getting into. Dae took a step back to gain some more distance. âDad got attacked by one just the other - â âHey!!â the little one spoke up and interrupted the other. Damien stood right outside the door, but was still visible from the aisle Ezayne and Dae were standing in. âYou might brief me, too?â âReally? Looks like bad weeds never die. Or so said my grandfather.â Ezayne shrugged, arching one eyebrow at Daeâs last comment. âOh wow. I hope he keeps all of his limbs, that robo-psycho means business when sheâs out to destroy everything.â It was then when he heard the voice of the young Damien. âOh, hey kiddo! Weâre almost done here! Damien, letâs get all this stuff out of here!â âSure, here you goâ Dae went without arguing over it, and left Ezayne a bunch of crosses to carry himself. âEeep!â Ezayne picked up the bunch of crosses and left them outside, over one of the graves of the nearby cemetery. He remembered meeting Amelia here, and wondered what had been of the ghost girl. He never had seen her ever again after again. Turning around, he returned to the church with a soft smile on his face. âSo, Damien, can you walk inside now?â he asked to the younger boy. âI ⊠Iâm not too sureâ the kid admit. He was still lurking at the entrance when Ezayne came back to him. âYou sure you got all?â âNo idea. Come on, you act like a girlâ Dae teased him. Though, indeed - yes, he was sure. The backlash hit the little one hard as he tried to enter first and ⊠he didnât exactly enjoy himself in pain. Whether it was his own body or the one of his younger self, who glared at him then.
