Ch 1 | Ch 2

Roommate Rule #3: If Your Bickering Roommates Start Acting Strangely in Sync, Something is Most Definitely Up.

After that night, a weird calm settles over the apartment.

No more rap battles. No passive-aggressive co-op games. No intense staring contests over meals.

It should feel normal, better even? But it doesn’t.

Plus, now, whenever you’re home, they’re both there. Always. Kinda hovering.

It’s never just Yoongi in the kitchen, grumbling about how you keep putting the spices in the wrong order. It’s never just Wonwoo on the couch, lost in a book but somehow still aware of everything you do.

It’s both of them.

At first, you chalk it up to coincidence. Maybe their schedules just aligned, or maybe you’re overthinking things. But then a whole week passes, and you realize—no, this is intentional.

And you have no idea what to make of it.

At work, a colleague from another department—Hyunjae—strikes up a conversation by the coffee machine. He’s nice, seems harmless, and when he asks you out to dinner, you say yes.

Because why not?

You don’t have a boyfriend. Your weird roommates haven’t exactly made anything explicit. And maybe—maybe—this is exactly what you need to clear your head.

That night, when you tell Yoongi and Wonwoo about the date, their reactions are... expected?

They don’t react that much. They don’t even comment on how you're looking hella cute with your lilac dress and heels. Stoic, as per usual.

Yoongi leans back in his chair, nodding once. "Have fun."

Wonwoo barely looks up from his phone. "Yeah. Hope it goes well."

But their voices are just a little too flat. Their movements a little too controlled.

As you do a final check on the contents of your bag (card, keys, mint, lip tint), Wonwoo casually mentions that he’s streaming tonight—his gaming channel has been blowing up lately and Yoongi tells you to call him if anything happens. Guess that’s that.

It’s fine. Everything is fine.

Except it’s not. Because the date was bad.

Dinner was okay, but when you went to the bar next door, the guy got pushy once the drinks started flowing. A hand on your waist that lingered too long. Fingers grazed your thigh like he had a right to.

You felt off. Uncomfortable. A little violated.

You told him off and walked away.

You lock yourself in the ladies bath room. Fuck. You stare at your phone. There’s only one voice you hear in your head as you stroll through your contact list. You just hope he answers.

Of course he does, on the second ring.

“Yoongi? Can you, umm, can you pick me up?”

"Where are you?" Yoongi asks, voice a little sharp. “Are you okay?”

You tell him the club’s name, and you barely get through the sentence of telling him you’re hidden away because you don’t want to be with your date anymore, before he says, "Stay where you are. I’m coming."

Fifteen minutes later, he’s here and the rush of relief mixes with the cool air as you exit the bathroom stall you've taken residence in.

You see him before he sees you. Black button down, dark jeans, and fire in his eyes, but when they land on you, something in his expression shifts—softens just slightly.

He’s at your side in an instant.

"You good?" 

You nod, but your throat feels tight. 

He exhales sharply, jaw clenched. "Where is he?"

You shake your head. "Probably gone. It’s fine."

It’s not fine, but you don’t want him to cause a scene.

Yoongi doesn’t look convinced, but he doesn’t push even as you see him tensely run his fingers through his hair. Instead, his other hand find yours, wrapping around your wrist—not pulling, not rushing. Just there.

And then, without thinking, you step into him.

You don’t know why. Maybe it’s the alcohol, maybe it’s the exhaustion, maybe it’s just Yoongi. The way his presence alone has made you feel safe after a night of shaky thoughts.

Suddenly, the music around you fades. And all you feel is him. Warm, steady, strong.

His arms come up instinctively, one wrapping around your back, the other resting against the nape of your neck. You’ve never done this before, but somehow it feels like you have.

He doesn’t say anything. He doesn’t have to when you feel his heart hammering inside his chest to mirror your own.

You breathe him in—a faint trace of cologne you're now so familiar with, something distinctly Yoongi—and you don’t know what to do with the way your heart twists inside your chest.

When you finally pull back, Yoongi searches your face. "Let’s go home."

You nod, letting him lead you out, your hand clasped in his.

You don’t sleep that night.

Not because of the date, not because of the club, but because of the voices in the kitchen.

You hear them some minutes after you turn off your bedroom light.

Hushed but heated.

You don’t want to eavesdrop, but you don’t exactly want to interrupt either. So you press your ear to the door and listen.

"You should have called me." Wonwoo’s voice is sharper than usual.

"She called me." Yoongi’s tone is steady but defensive.

"That’s not the point, hyung."

A pause.

"Then what is the point?"

Wonwoo exhales harshly. "You can't pull shit like this."

"Like what?"

"Like running to her first."

“You were streaming, when she called. You think I'd wait for you? She was crying…”

Your breath catches.

Silence stretches between them, heavy and suffocating.

Then, quieter: "It’s not fair."

Something in Wonwoo’s voice makes your chest ache.

You don’t know what possesses you to move, but suddenly, your feet are carrying you toward the kitchen. Before you can think twice, you push the door open.

They both turn at the same time.

Yoongi leans against the counter, arms crossed, eyes narrowed. Wonwoo stands stiffly near the sink, his jaw tight.

You take a breath, steadying yourself. "What the hell is going on?"

Neither of them speak.

You cross your arms. "I’m serious. You two have been acting weird for weeks. First, you’re constantly competing, then suddenly, you’re always together like some weird tag-team act. And now you’re fighting over who picks me up when I call for help?"

Still, silence. 

You swallow hard, but you’re unable to stop the nagging question in your head. "I need to know. Is this… Am I like a bet or something?”

“NO!” both men bellow.

You exhale a shaky breath. “Then what’s the deal?"

Silence. Again.

Yoongi and Wonwoo are both staring at you, like they’re waiting for you to say something. But instead, you exhale and lean back, crossing your arms.

“You know what?” you say, voice steady. “I think you two need to figure out if you actually…” Fuck you’ll say it if they can’t. “…like me… or if you just like competing with each other.”

That hits.

You let the silence stretch. Let them sit with it.

Because this whole thing—this weird, passive-aggressive, emotionally constipated mess—has never really been about you. Not the way it should be.

“I like both of you,” you continue, watching them carefully. “And maybe that’s selfish. But I don’t want to pick between two people who haven’t even stopped to ask themselves if what they feel is about me or just… winning.”

Yoongi looks away first. Wonwoo’s fingers twitch against his knee.

“So,” you say, standing up. “Figure it out. And let me know in the morning or… I’ll just move out.”

And with that, you leave them stewing.

Morning comes too fast.

When you step into the kitchen, you immediately pause.

Because—

What the fuck.

Yoongi is leaning against the counter, one hand tucked into the pocket of his sweats, wearing an offhandedly sexy fitted black t-shirt like he didn’t just wake up ten minutes ago. His hair is still a little messy, but in a good way—in the kind of way that makes you wonder what he looked like rolling out of bed.

And Wonwoo?

Wonwoo is sitting at the kitchen table, scrolling through his phone, looking like a fucking editorial ad in his oversized crewneck and glasses. The morning light is doing too much for him, highlighting his sharp jaw and the way his fingers tap absentmindedly against the table.

They both glance up when you walk in.

And they both smile.

Oh, hell no.

“Absolutely not,” you say immediately, pointing at them. “You do not get to look this good this early in the morning.”

Yoongi chuckles, taking a sip of his coffee. “Didn’t realize there were rules about that.”

“There are now,” you mutter.

Wonwoo grins, “You look cute when you’re grumpy, noona.”

You shake your head, unable to keep your cheeks from flushing despite being slightly annoyed with both of them, still.

Yoongi gestures vaguely. "You were right last night. About us. About this."

Wonwoo leans forward, fingers interlocked. "We both like you, noona. We won’t deny it."

Yoongi sets his cup down. “So we have an offer.”

You raise a brow, leaning against the counter. “Oh?”

Wonwoo tilts his head slightly, watching your reaction. “We’re going to take you on dates.”

You blink. “…What?”

“Dates,” Yoongi repeats. “One with me. One with him. Or more. Up to you…”

You stare at them. “And then?”

“And then,” Wonwoo continues, “you can decide.”

You narrow your eyes. “You two came up with this plan together?”

Yoongi shrugs.

You cross your arms. “And what if I don’t want to go on these dates?”

Yoongi answers: “Then we drop it. No pressure.”

"And if I don’t choose either of you?"

Wonwoo sighs. "Then we take the L."

…Huh. You hadn’t expected this.

You had expected stubbornness. Maybe even another argument.

Yoongi tilts his head as your eyes dart between the two of them.. "But let’s be real. That’s not happening."

"Yah!" You gape at him. "Are you fuckin’ serious right now?"

Yoongi grins. Wonwoo just waits.

You exhale, tapping your fingers against the counter. “Bet.”

Yoongi lifts a brow. Wonwoo licks his lips, now smiling.

“Alright,” you confirm. “Show me what you got.”

And judging by the looks on their faces, you have a feeling they plan to.

Mark variants with a reader whose power is to control every atom of their body? If it isn’t any trouble. It’s like Eve’s power and the reader is from the same experiment, but instead of being able to control everything except living beings they can only control their own body (unless they’re in a super traumatic situation). They can increase the density of their muscles, heal wounds, create weapons from their body, shapeshift, ect. Creativity is basically the limit of what they can change about themselves, that and the fact that their powers use calories like Eve’s do. So to beat them you’d need to either tire them out or figure out a power dampener. (the more charged the fights are the better/hj) (they're born from my need to see shapeshifters be OP as hell)

Mark Grayson X Atom Eve's Sibling

You're Eve's Sibling, but instead of being able to control Atom of your surroundings, you can only control yours.

He was excited to be introduced to you when he first joined the teen team.

"Hello! You must be (Hero name)." He shook your hand.

"Yeah! You must be the new Hero." You greeted in return.

He was fascinated by how you were able to manipulate your body; he kept watching you on Instagram.

"You're amazing, being able to shapeshift into different things, you're so creative in using your powers." He complimented.

"Thanks! I try to learn and adapt." You replied.

He loves to ask more about what you can do while you two eat together.

"My imagination is my limit; other than that, nothing can stop me." You said as you chewed on your 3rd burger.

"You eat a lot." He spoke, looking at the piles of burgers stacked on each other.

"Yeah, I need the calories to use my powers consistently." You said to continue chewing your food.

In the middle of sparring, he asked you some questions.

"Wow, your skin turned rock-hard solid." He said, trying to punch through your defenses.

"Well, I just ate, so my form is stronger than average," you said as you kicked him with a chainsaw on your foot.

He flew and punched you on your stomach; he was shocked when you turned into a puddle of liquid. He slowly approached you, and you suddenly clung to him, wrapping yourself around him; he was trying to get you off him, but he failed to do so, and he surrendered.

You released him and returned to your original form.

"You know, you shouldn't let your guard down just because your enemy is on the ground." You approached him.

"I was kind of shocked when you turned into liquid when I punched you." He admitted.

"Afraid of hurting me eh? Don't worry, I can heal myself." You spoke as you showed him healing yourself.

He looked at it and asked. "Can you heal other people too?"

"Not really. I can give Eve some of my blood, and it helps me heal her wounds, though; it only works with us since we're Twins." You explained.

"I also noticed once when Eve was fighting, Eve can surpass her mental block by having a near-death experience." He pointed out.

"Yeah, I can do that too; when I'm near death, I gain the ability to control other people's bodies, shapeshifting them into anything I want." You said.

"So don't make me mad, I might turn you into a chair." You laughed.

"I'll make sure I won't." He laughed, raising his hands in an act of surrender.

In the middle of a battle, Invincible was punched, and he was falling.

"I got him!" You yelled as you turned into a cushion, catching him.

He was coughing in pain from the blow as you slowly placed him onto the ground and transformed back into your original form.

You formed wings behind your back, making you fly; you flew to the enemies as you turned your arms into chainsaws, cutting through their necks.

They died on your hands as you had no choice but to go for the kill.

You sighed looking at the mutilated below you.

Invincible approached you slowly comforting you.

Random headcanons:

You can also change your color on a molecular level as you shapeshift.

You can turn yourself into a car or a motorcycle, and your speed depends on how many calories you have.

Injuring your vital organs is impossible as you can move them around inside you or literally just regenerate them from scratch.

You can also change appearance and voice as well as long as you're able to copy the person's entire physique inside and out.

Mark was pissing you off one time, and you changed yourself into Debbie scolding him.

He didn't know it was you as your acting was great.

You sometimes shrink yourself into pocket size, and Mark keeps you inside his pockets.

And into battles, he throws your pocket-sized form onto the enemy, and you turn into a huge net capturing the enemy.

You can also transform into long swords and chainsaws, and Mark would use you as a weapon against the enemies.

You're great at hide and seek.

Mark makes sure you're fed well, bringing lots of food from different countries to make sure you're getting enough for the next fight.

He loves seeing you eat.

You two travel a lot, eating food in different travel destinations.

You don't fly with him; he keeps it in his breast pocket as he flies.

He loves seeing a miniature-sized version of you and kissing you on the forehead.

"I'm wondering, are your clothes your skin too?" He asked.

"Sometimes." You replied.

"So you fight naked!?" He gasps horrified.

"Uhh, I guess?" Laughing in response.

Who needs a blanket when he has you??

He loves it when you wrap yourself around him like a blanket; he can feel your warmth.

A/N: I Can't Imagine them being with the other Mark Variants; as you can see, the other Variants either killed, paralyzed, and enslaved other versions of Eve, so I think they'll try and do the same with you.

I'm sorry if it didn't went what you wanted, but I'm 100% sure your OC wouldn't be killed by the Mark Variants, but they're going to suffer the deaths of her friends and colleague.

⋆✮spn convention story time✮⋆

aka: the time i went to a supernatural convention and left with a new religion, five spinal readjustments from jared padalecki, and lifelong emotional damage.

i know, i know. y'all been waiting, and i've let you down, so for that i am so sorry. but i'm here now, ready to deliver. so strap (on heheh) in, and get a snack or something because it's time for me to tell y'all all about the con.

thursday: pilgrimage begins i rolled up to the birmingham hilton metropole like a tiny, caffeinated prophet dragging a suitcase full of outfits and deeply repressed feelings for sam winchester. while i was checking in (barely keeping it together), mark sheppard walked in behind me like the physical embodiment of sarcasm and sin. crowley himself. i peeked. i fled. i ironed my blouses like i was preparing for judgment day.

later, i went to the “newbie meetup,” which turned out to be the kindest little cult you’ve ever met. i got paired with kim, who instantly became my convention fairy godparent. they told me everything—con etiquette, survival tips, layout of the hotel, emotional buffer strategies. literal angel. castiel has got nothing on kim.

then someone named kaia pulled out a bag and said “lucky dip.” i pulled a tiny black duck with green eyes and a red handprint. they gasped. apparently i’d pulled the rarest duck of all—the dean duck. my very first duck. my precious. i gave it to kim, who didn’t have a dean yet after three years of attending. they were so touched they gave me a bracelet in return. i almost cried.

we played supernatural trivial pursuit after that. i wasn’t gonna join in at first, but slowly i started answering questions. before i knew it i was being dragged into the circle like i’d been chosen by god. turns out i know far more than i should. my brain is full of lore. i am a weapon.

at the end, kaia told me to look around the hotel for more ducks because they made sams, crowleys, castiels, and some others. i said that i gave my dean to kim because it's the only one they needed to complete the collection... kaia reaches back into their duck-bag... pulls me out their last dean duck and puts it in my hands, tells me that i am such a nice person for doing that, and that they can't let me leave without a dean.

after that, i went out for a cigarette. mark sheppard was outside. so was billy moran. i made a joke. mark laughed. i floated upstairs. this was just day one.

friday: initiation woke up to a text from kim. we went out for snacks and ice lollies like gremlins. came back to the hotel to find it absolutely heaving—registration had opened early. as a gold ticket holder i got to skip the queue (thank god), but kim didn’t. i waited with them anyway because loyalty comes before lanyards.

when i picked up my autographs, a staff guy told kim they could stick with me for the rest of the weekend because i was new and nervous and, apparently, adorable. free pass unlocked.

then came the gold/platinum table talks. we sat at round tables while the guests made their way around to chat with us for ten minutes at a time. we met:

⋆ mark sheppard (hell king energy) ⋆ ruth connell (ethereal) ⋆ julian richings (death personified) ⋆ matt frewer, lisa berry, samantha smith, alicia witt ⋆ and finally... osric chau, who i vibed with on a molecular level

we talked about insomnia, toddlers, bluey, and jiu jitsu. he said he didn’t believe i had a four-year-old. i told him i did. we laughed. he told me he watches bluey even after his nephews go to bed. i forgave him for being too pure. i hogged his time and honestly? i regret nothing. i went to bed floating.

saturday: ascension woke up at 6am. practically a lie-in. got showered, got dressed, and headed straight to my first op: osric.

as soon as i walked around the partition, he beamed and said “hey, it’s you! sleeping better without the four-year-old, huh?” i nearly died. we took the photo. i grinned so hard my face hurt.

then came ruth, who is genuinely too pretty for this earth. she looks like stained glass and fairy wine. she said hello and i blacked out.

then… the wait for jared. i queued for an hour and forty minutes. worth every damn second. when i got to the front, he looked down at my thigh tattoos and said “oh! those are so cool!” and i, like a complete idiot, said “you’re so cool.” he laughed. held out his arms. said “can i hug you?” i nodded. “yes please.” he hugged me like he meant it. i melted.

later, during autographs, he remembered me again. asked me about my tattoos. i told him one was for sam and one was for dean, and that i’d be a pretty useless meatsuit since a demon would have to take off both legs to possess me. he laughed.

then he said: “i hope they didn’t hurt too much.” and for reasons known only to god and my self-sabotage, i replied: “oh no, i’ve got a really high pain tolerance.” he made a face. you know the one. i wanted to die. kim tried to reassure me. i could still hear the face. i was haunted.

sunday: full possession woke up shaking. first op was mark sheppard, and i was shaking so bad he literally asked if i was okay. i said yes, like a liar.

next: misha. i asked, “do you mind if i stand the other side of you?” he smirked. smirked. gestured for me to come around. wrapped his arm around me. after the photo? he winked. i skipped out of the room. i was dizzy. misha winked at me. i needed to sit down forever.

then came jared, round two: redemption arc. i walked in. he smiled so wide. “it’s you again! how are you?” i took a breath. “i need to apologise for yesterday.” he tilted his head. “what for?” i said, “because i told you i had a high pain tolerance, and then spent all night thinking, why the fuck did i brag about that to jared padalecki?” he burst out laughing. told me, “you have nothing to apologise for! i thought it was funny!” then asked, “can i hug you again?” i nodded. he hugged me so tight my back cracked in three places. it was euphoric.

after that, we got more autos. osric chatted with me like we were old friends. asked about my job. i said tattooing and music. he asked where he could listen. i told him my insta. he said “follow me and message me.” i blacked out. he hugged both kim and i. we are now spiritually married. he also followed me back!!!!!

we watched "a good idea" live, and misha broke me. i laughed, i cried, i dissolved. he is a genius. i left my body again.

epilogue: i am not the same i left that convention with:

⋆ 6 photo ops ⋆ 7 autographs ⋆ 1 dangerously soft wink ⋆ an accidental pain brag ⋆ osric chau’s blessing ⋆ and confirmation that jared padalecki hugs like a chiropractor with a vengeance

if you’re thinking of going to a con: do it. be cringe. be weird. collect ducks. make friends. brag about your pain tolerance to your fave and then spiral about it. it’s sacred.

if you read all this: i love you. we are bonded now. see you at the next one <3

[tabl3]

(my version (though seems correct anyway))so I know I floated a lr vs mm fight for fun a while ago, but if I was being fr about it and we were looking at the original trios of each series, mighty med is so utterly crushed it's kinda sad lol

"but they have skylar" yes, they DO have skylar and she's much stronger than chase and bree. however. who else do we know that's much stronger than chase and bree? adam, you say? adam, I agree

if we were talking one-on-one it's easier, but even in team matches, skylar and adam are fully preoccupied with each other. as I've said before, they're equals and the only way either would "win" in a 1v1 is wearing each other down to death, which means neither would win

chase and bree would speed-blitz kaz and oliver. while the boys are physically stronger than them, chase is smarter and bree is faster (plus chase is also faster than them and bree's biq is way higher). their bionics also give them a lot of durability (plus chase's shields) against any projectile attacks which is literally what the boys' powers (minus oli's strength) rely on. that and they've been training since birth and the other two got their powers like two months before. bree and chase are also close range fighters. the boys' only defense against that is oliver's strength (which the rats are both too fast for him to get a hit on them) or his ice (which both could avoid: chase could use his bo to cut clean through an ice wll and bree could probably just run through/around it)

so then that would leave skylar to fight. "but she's adam level! and adam is ridiculously op!" yeah, but she is NOT abc team-level. she could put up a good fight, but if bree and chase join adam's battle with her, she's toast. bree, predictably, fast as fuck and well-versed in fighting physically stronger opponents (bc my version is tiny. show version is average strength so point still stands). chase, smart as fuck. he would be able to calculate all of her possible weaknesses in a split-second and send them to bree and adam through their mental link sooner. he can also restrain her with molecular kinesis if angry enough (see imputation) and his shields. so she probably could take out one of them, but she wouldn't win this fight.

[spidey-bie]

Same anon that sent the kit ask but I honest to god cannot think of a good question rn so: what's your fave piece of Ansi lore that you've written so far but haven't shared? If you can't (or don't want to) choose one piece then top 3 would be awesome!

I love these asks btw they get me thinking about development and my character design. So thank you.

I have a couple things for you.

First off Ansi canonically gets hoes in her world. Not really lore but moreso a fun fact. She needs stuff and she don't got money. So she flirts with the staff at different stores/restaurants. It's really funny because he never gives them his real name either. So she has men and women of all kinds occasionally calling out to her when she goes places.

Now for lore. One of his powers is system coding. I'm still workshopping how it works but any system that has electricity running through it can be rewired/coded/manipulated by Ansi as long as she's in close contact with it. Yes that does mean she can rewire humans on the molecular level. Yes that does mean she can manipulate the electricity her body produces. Her powers are pretty much a mix of Particle Manipulation and Electrokinesis. This isn't even all her powers either lol.

Yes I made my OC op but I countered it by making her mentally ill. It's the Mob Psycho 100 effect.

That is all for now. I gotta keep y'all coming back for more.

[true-blue-sonic]

Silver's Powers not being unique to him kinda makes sense because Silver doesn't think of himself as special and is canonically considered a loser at this point.

I personally would say it's mostly the IDW comics that wildly oscillate between the amount of respect they give Silver. They give me the feeling that they simply just can't make up their mind on who or what they want Silver to be, which I would say is because the end goal of the plot is entirely driving the bus here, not the characters and their actions. So that means in the comics, Silver is either a bumbling idiot who needs to be hand-held by the more powerful smarter OCs while nearly getting wiped out by one random Egg Pawn in a flashback, or someone hella OP and serious whose powers while Super can clear an entire planet of a virus that changes its victims on a molecular level. And I think Silver has absolutely amazing moments in IDW! I love the issue where he and Sonic take the six Chaos Emeralds and make a mad dash for Zavok to get the seventh one, where Silver is a crucial component and shown off as his powerful self. And also during his fight with Zor he's no-nonsense, clear about what he stands for, and even shown as unforgiving to an extent. That is definitely why I find it so unfortunate that these moments are counteracted by Silver either being innocent uwu bapy boi, or just being written as incompetent because that's what the plot needs him to be to get to what it wants to achieve.

But that is just the comics. Forces painted Silver a lot more respectably in my opinion (e.g. shown as being capable of making a stand against Infinite, who's been callously murdering people in the streets beforehand with nothing they could do to fight back having the slightest effect), and TSR did too if you ignore the trash talk scene (e.g. Silver being the first to learn of Eggman and Dodon Pa's plans, and keeping an eye on things with help from his friends). Furthermore, the Sonic Channel stories and information about Silver give a much more respectable view of the character, that leans far more towards his positive sides: his straightforwardness, kindness, desire for justice, willingness for peace, reliability, the fact people feel endeared to him, etc etc. Simultaneously, they are not afraid to mention that Silver can take things too far, and can be put on the wrong track at times. Generally, those stories thus paint him as someone serious and incredibly strong (e.g. able to stop the Eclipse Canon beam with a shield of PK) while still being naive and having slight tunnel vision (e.g. not understanding why he was not taken seriously when he told the Soleannan officials about the bridge collapsing, which he knew because he came from the future). It's... better than what the comic is giving us, in my personal opinion; it's at least more enjoyable if you like Silver's personality from the actual games. So I do not at all agree with the idea he's "canonically a loser" currently. It just depends on what media you look into, and how that media treats the character in regards to what Silver's actual personality is like.

You encouraged people to ask away when it comes to your JJK fic, and I'm taking the invitation to ask if you've got a 5k essay about the way Gojo perceives the world with Six Eyes? Also any more thoughts on how jujutsu society functions, especially now that it's fallen apart? So much of your fic has me curious (I mean this as such a compliment, I want to live in the world you're building)

omggg my first ask. this feels like a special day ngl (I'm serious lol this made me happy). also crying in the club at the last sentence, thank u so much, I can't believe I get to talk at length about making up a bunch of headcanon shit it's been my dream since I started writing fic 🥺❤️‍🩹

ok enough of that, let's talk jjk *cue inhaling seagull meme* cut be here bc this really did become a f*king novel

so, the six eyes + gojō seeing through them is something I haven't put much (of my own) thought(s) into: gege has, for once, explained a phenomena we encounter in-verse quite well, lol. the six eyes are, as explained by gege, "eyes that can see cursed energy extremely clearly; even when covering his eyes, it's like he has high definition infrared vision" (fanbook pg 43, for the curious). since most living things generate CE (tōdō in yūji + tōdō v hanami; one notable exception being plants (hanami in the same fight)), that means seeing all CE traces/active output at all times. extrapolating from this, then, is being able to comprehend also surroundings made up of 'dead CE space', such as buildings and whatnot, since living organisms outputting CE move in/around/above them, etc. furthermore, the amount of information uptake + processing that 6E + limitless gives is insane; we know that the 6E allows satoru to see CE extremely clearly, which one would assume amounts to sight, ergo being able to make sense of something's shape through processing a cursory amount of information in the way we do when we see things as humans. but the 6E supplies information on a molecular level: as satoru explains in ch76, he's not just automatically sorting objects by CE amount at that point, but also by mass, shape, and speed; something he did manually before, implying that said information, now processed, digested, and understood per auto, is: 1) density x 2) volume = mass; 3) shape (speaks for itself); 4) speed = distance/time I think (lmao I'm not good at math), the latter of which also require a sophisticated level of processing + understanding of the object itself. the more I get into this the more I stray from the topic, I think. sry lol, I wasn't joking about that 5k essay. I also have ADD, in case that wasn't blatantly obvious through how incoherent this probs is.

ANYWAY, I think seeing w/o glasses/blindfold is basically like if you turn your 5k retina powerbook/sophisticated media editing computer up to max in both intensity and contrast (like a post-ironic ugly meme), AND THEN you add being abso-fucking-lutely bombarded with information, on top of this. it's like seeing a thing so clearly it's not even seeing that thing anymore. however, satoru's most likely so able to sort through and process information, that it sorts itself out: a very brief scene in S1E20 did give us somewhat of a look through his pov (veil is down and he's looking at yūji), and it's vaguely normal looking, save for the bright blue flame of CE bursting out from yūji. (by comparison, limitless is explained as a normal brain having all of that above subatomic comprehension thrust upon you an infinite amount of times, all at the same time, which makes you process things infinite times, making you seem as though you're comprehending things infinitely slowly.)

QUESTION NR 2 lmao my god this is already so long. this is something I've thought about A Lot. on the one hand I imagine, since it's highly unlikely that a US breach of jp borders in a large scale military op would go unnoticed - esp considering that a lot of people seem to live vaguely standard lives in as well as around the culling game barriers - that it'd cause global mass panic. it's stated that it's out there (source is some or several manga chapters I can't remember off the top of my head), as in out there out there, which ofc means all the world's top leaders gathering at a bunch of useless symposiums to talk crisis management, military intervention, and whatnot. on the other hand - and this is me talking as a EU citizen - I'd also imagine that a lot of the world would attempt to erect literal and figurative walls around japan, and leave it to its devices; the EU is useless in the EU; they're extremely unlikely to march in to what is essentially an apocalyptic warzone in which outcome can't be predicted, like at all. a bunch of industries are sure to topple, and the world economy is in fucking shambles, I imagine (and we're also kind of supposed to imagine, since the culling games open to a panicked jp government talking about plummeting stock + evacuating citizens). there'll be a lot of talking around it, but I think in the end, since sorcery/jujutsu is nearly strictly confined to jp land (w the exception of some diasporic tribes, as seen in the movie + prequel manga), I'd think much of the world is trying to contain it to japan, take what defensive measures they can, and just wait it out. all supply + import/export routes are most likely cut off by now, and most of Important People evacuated to allies, soooo. zombie apocalypse!world state impending, is what I sort of imagine. considering all of shibuya is fucking dead by dec 24th, this seems marginally supported canonically as well. well ok, not all of the above, but somewhat, anyway.

EDIT + ADD TO QUESTION 2 bc in my excitement I actually did not read this properly at all, lmao OTL ok so on jujutsu society: I'm still a lil hazy on exactly when it's implied that power couple okkotsu & inumaki massacred the jujutsu council; whether it's closer to shibuya or to the culling games/satoru's unboxing, it's likely to have either the one or the other effect. however, I think that it kind of is as I broached in adsr 6: jujutsu society has declared a state of martial law; it's kind of "you should follow protocol as usual", but also "we technically can't force you to do that bc anything you do, if tried in a court of law, will just default to "I did what I had to under martial law yr honor". I think it's interesting to think about curses actually being fucking invisible, like completely, to normal people; there's not much point, really, to jujutsu sorcerers or curse users suddenly being super obvious with what they're doing; it's not like normal people can comprehend it, anyway. there's bound to be a ton more 'unexplained' property destruction, lol, but also, that's already likely to happen with normal people out and about in a city that's been abandoned by its authorities and government. I think there'll be a bunch of frenetically working techies + scientists who'll work around the clock at supplying foreign military with the capabilities to see curses, so that people with time are able to see curses as well. what that means for jujutsu society... well, they'll have to survive sukuna/kenjaku/satoru/culling game mayhem first. I could imagine a bunch of new gen sorcerers reaching across the aisle to attempt to broker something with 'normal' society though, since it is out there, and they'll have to adapt to that. that said, bc of the above 'curses are invisible anyway, so what's the point' I also think that a lot of sorcerers (not curse users) kind of feel honor/duty bound to keep doing exactly what they're doing, which is protecting the general populace from curses: this should mean that they'll likely continue working as covertly as possible, since mass panic = likely to lead to outbreak of mass curses, when you consider curses = negative emotions experienced by many in specific spaces

THANK YOU FOR THIS ASK, I'm sincerely sorry to have subjected u to this much of my brain, lol. EVEN MORESO NOW (ffs lol). if you (+possible others) made it this far holy shit. I hope u got something out of it. thx u for coming to my TED talk, I'm sad to report it's likely to be more of them

NBC Debris, episodes 1-9: overview of high hopes and adjusted expectations

*Mild spoilers ahead*

I'm rooting for this show guys, really I am. The premise and the two main characters / actors are interesting, or at least try very hard to be. But this series has been slow off the ground despite my excitement during preseason teasers and here's why, in my view.

Pros:

An intercontinental alliance gives room / potential for some interesting spy craft, I just wish it was slightly more artful, less heavy handed.

Alien debris having potential to do good things is also a fantastic promise to expand on. George Jones talked about some terraforming level stuff (whether it goes right or wrong is another story), let's see more of that. Are tech giants fighting over the intellectual property rights to debris-based advances? How are money and favor between industry and the government changing hands (apart from a very literal briefcase full of cash on the black market when we first meet Influx)? How do different pieces of debris interact with one another, maybe it changes some of their properties in unpredictable ways.

Bryan and Finola have good amorphous lead chemistry. We aren't being force-fed where it is going to go, but we know it's a compelling relationship where they're both relying on each other to get through challenging emotional hurdles (marine special ops, family tragedy). And we see them together, riffing off each other from the beginning, and it works as both a personal and professional partnership.

Strongest debris-scifi-based episode was definitely 1x04 "In Universe" with the chlorine- respiration-based biome. To me it's the best of the season so far.

Strongest character episode so far is maybe 1x09 "Do You Know Icarus?" or 1x06 "Supernova"

Cons:

Episodic structure hampers the ramp of tension building. You don't get big payoff because you get short plot points. Yes there's the recurring "ball of light" and Influx references, but those are more phantom thread teasers than a long game of steadily developing insights.

No fully developed villain or antagonist to make the stakes seem tangible and priorities urgent or simmering: is it Influx, Maddox, Ferris, casually mentioned foreign government espionage, the guy who played Michael on The Vampire Diaries? I don't know, and worst of all nor do I really care because I don't feel their immenent threat or ideological purpose. I am more worried about the debris body count, but debris is a problem / quandary, not a viable adversary at this point. We've got a multi-front conflict, and 45 minutes with underwhelming writing complexity to try and meet the task. It's a struggle.

The ABCD action-based plot. I have to do this sequence in order to beat this level. Where's the character building?

Speaking of which, while I like Bryan and Finola's dynamic opposite each other, I can't say the same about their development as individual characters. Their depth and relationship to others has so far been terrible due to superficial telegraphing which tells us rather than a writing structure that shows us why we're supposed to care about them, their lives, or their relationships to others, like Finola and DeDe and George as a family unit, or Bryan and Maddox. Seeing an old family video of sisters dancing to a favorite song does nothing for me when I haven't seen them interact on anything more than a long distance phone call. Can we maybe get a flashback of them at George's memorial so that we can get a sense of how devastated the family was or see the consequences of DeDe's substance abuse habit as a crutch during an emotionally chaotic time in her life? No. We get hearsay. Maddox is supposedly so worthy of Bryan's trust, pulled him from the brink of a dark emotional abyss (1x07), but we get no sense of that bond off the clock like Bryan checking in on Maddox's family, or any sort of personal connection. Just a cold professional relationship with a few one liners.

Telegraphing to ambiguity ratio: certain things the audience gets explained to us, like alternate universes visible in the molecular imperfections of glass or how they damaged George's hippocampus and impaired his memory (like they're just throwing out words to sound sci-fi impressive), and yet some basic details that would help build this world lore and make it believable are left up to off-screen imagination? Come on now, we all know the season one is for world building. Hop to it! Debris falls from the sky, worldwide, and you're telling me no one knows about it and it doesn't impact public life / culture in any way, it doesn't make the news cycle, nothing? You're an Orbital agent, and you're able to fly around in laboratory equipped jets and land in whichever airspace you please, and no one bats an eye? Terrorists are using debris against civilians, and we don't see government restrictions, curfew, lockdowns, etc, we don't get any minor glimpses into ramifications on ordinary life? No, because the focus is always trained on our "field agents" but not the playing field. It's mundane, small stuff questions that keep us grounded, which is a refreshing and needed balance in sci-fi, but apart from a conversation about stale Peeps I don't see attention to daily details of life as we know it.

We are literally told in the pilot by a title card (talk about expedient) that "three years ago images were captured of a wrecked alien spacecraft moving through the solar system" and for 6 months debris has been falling. Has it smashed through any cities causing panic? How is it spun by the media, or how is Orbital keeping it out of public attention? Is there a political power struggle over research access, and what do those higher up agency meetings look like? Where and how is the recovered debris being cataloged and stored when it is not used in active research? Who has clearance to it, what is that clearance called/what does it entail, which government retains agency of debris pieces, or does that depend on where Orbital recovers it? This is like first-five-episode-arc lore building and we are nine hit or miss episodes into the season! I need this show to level up if it's taking the route of being clever and cerebral, which it appears to aim at by focusing on the scientific part of sci-fi. If it's goal is to be a small scale, partner ride along weekly mystery with heavy synthetic sound cues, then it needs to pick a tone that takes itself less seriously.

The dialogue is so lackluster and expository. Please get some of the writer's room to focus on making it sharper, quicker, smarter.

The science of debris: George Jones, as some genius mind behind Orbital tech, isn't believable. We don't get to see any part of his professional life in Orbital in the three year lead up to when we meet our characters, he doesn't even have any dialogue when Finola first finds him captive. We have "science-aesthetic" scribbles on a chalkboard and Finola's word that George is a workaholic research savant. It doesn't ring true and by extension some of the "rules" of this Orbital technology seem murky (not as in we learn alongside the characters, but as in the concept seems under developed). George's biggest contribution thus far is a levity critique of Bryan's driving speed. At this point he's a plot device to further Fin's journey, as is DeDe. That's base.

Lack of interest in supporting ensemble: why should I care about Maddox's family crisis, or DeDe's addiction or George's suicide after he was shut out of his own research at Orbital, etc? Again this ties back to previous points of show don't tell, and build a world, maybe use some flashbacks. Make it personal — why is George's research (apart from a generalized better world) so singularly important to him that it breaks his family, what compelled Brian to transition from military service to Orbital? How are different factions within Orbital — like the research team and the field agents — getting along, who's at the very bottom of the barrel or on the very top of the hierarchy?

I want this show to succeed, but I don't get a clear read on what genre they want to be or more importantly what the characters want. Please increase the focus on dialogue, get the basics of want-obstacle-action done right, and then the debris and the conflict it creates can have a bigger impact.

MissFinfeather Reading List #1

Welp, since I haven’t been getting liveblogging done, how about I just talk about what I’ve been reading!

Just been, a really avid Light Novel and Manga reader as of late, it’s been ridiculous.

Saving 80,000 Gold in Another World for my Retirement (Light Novel)

Standing as a testament that Light Novels have gone full Alternian with their titles!

You know, I’m actually quite partial to isekai’s including an OP female protagonist. It’s about a girl who gains the ability to travel between our world an a fantasy world, decides to save up money to live comfortably in both.

Funnily enough, the series is most fun when she deviates from the intended goal of the title. One of my favorite parts is when she (SPOILERS) hires a group of modern mercenaries to fight an invading army. The part where she sends a dragon off crying fucking kills me. xD

But my most favorite part is when she becomes a Viscount and gain control of a domain. I love how she runs a blog in the run world about how to best run her land, and everyone just thinks it’s a really complex ARG, I love it xD

The main character, OMG is she ruthless! I’ve been reading Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear too much because I was not prepared for how, at ease she was at killing. I dunno, just interesting how authors tackle that in a case to case basis. I’ve been on the fence about letting my characters kill for a long time...

I Shall Survive Using Potions (Light Novel)

Same author as the last one. Got ourselves another murder fiend xD

That said, protag is waaaaay more OP in this one! It’s about a girl who ask for the power to create any potion she wants with any effect she wants. Well, this gives he a fucking lot of leeway! Like, she uses her unique set of powers in such ingenious ways that effectively turn her into a fucking GOD!

Like for example (SPOILERS!) she’s allow to put potions into whatever container she chooses. At one point, she actually makes a legendary blade that literally uses vibration to cut at a molecular level. How did she do it? Well, the sword is a potion container! The potion is being stored in the hilt!

The sheer creativity is what drew me to the series. xD

The only downside is the protag, might be straight? I’m not sure. Marrying a dude is a goal of her’s but... I dunno.

Laid Back Camp (Manga)

Ahhhhhh!!! Camp gays are the best!

The two photoed above have the cutest dynamic! And it comes off as so very gay and I love it!

Also, it’s very much laid back and chill, which I needed last week!

I’ve Been Killing Slimes for 300 years and Maxed Out My Level (Light Novel and Manga)

Probably the gayest book on my list xD

Title pretty much describes it! It’s about a girl who kills slimes for 300 years and becomes the most powerful woman in the world because of it.

It just hits so many boxes for me!

OP female isekai? Check!

Mom energy? CHECK! She raising two kids by the end of the first book ^^

Gay? Oh so TOTALLY CHECK! Multiple girls clearly have the hots fro Azusa, and it already feels like there might be a thing between her and the dragon apprentice!

Hot main character? CHECK! The manga has been KILLING ME!

Yeah, just checks off a lot of boxes for me ^^

So I’m a Spider, So What? (Manga)

I’m still early on, but this series really doesn’t shy away from what’s horrifying about spiders 0.0;

Like it gets pretty damn dark pretty quick. Like it makes it pretty clear that this isn’t going to be a light hearted story. Like (SPOILERS) how she has to eat one of her dead siblings just to keep from starving to death. You know, that kind of thing.

The skill leveling up reminded me a lot of Bofuri for some reason...

Anyways, I’ll talk more about this one as I continue!

Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear (Web Novel)

While my bear addiction has died down considerably (because I’ve literally already read everything,) I still eagerly await for the Web Novel to update every Saturday (Sunday in Japan time.) Then after reading, I’ve got to gush to Roxy about what I’ve read. Seriously, that girl has endless patience for my addiction. Like, she had to sit through that solid month or so of me talking nothing but bears. How she hasn’t dumped me is a mystery...

The most current story has to do with Fina participating in a Dismantling competition. Basically, monsters in this world need to be butchered for parts and Fina has been Yuna’s dismantler from the start. Well, she’s gotten so proficient at it, she got invited to perform her abilities for a crowd! So yeah, a good portion of the arc is pumping her up for that considering Fina has low self esteem issues.

Though, the arc took a break for a while there to follow a substory where Yuna fucking fights a giant spider.

Because this is Kuma Kuma Kuma Bear. It’s a Slice-of-Life, the action comes secondary.

There was a cute moment where Yuna comes home from killing the spider to Fina and family preparing dinner, and it’s played off like a husband coming home from work and it’s really really cute xD

Fina and Yuna have what I’m going to define as a “ platonic romance.” There’s no drive to kiss or, do romance-y stuff (thankfully.) They do however, want to spend their lives together and probably get married. Like, to the point that Fina wants to move in with Yuna when she’s old enough to move out from her parent’s place.

It’s cute but not like, super serious, which is welcome in my book considering the circumstances of their relationship.

Also, I’m dying for a huge status quo change in the story. Just like, either Yuna unlocks new game changing power, or circumstances change in her arrangement. Guild Master Sanya set it up so Yuna can just, promote herself to B-rank at any point, which would be a big deal if she ever had the motivation to advance her career. I’m considering this a Chekov’s Gun just waiting to go off.

---------------

That’s not everything I read. I also started Elma’s Office Lady Diary, and Puella Magic Homura Tamura, but I haven’t gotten far enough into those to really comment on them. Maybe I’ll bring them up if there’s every a next time?

There may never be a next time..

Share a few headcanons about Grundy’s physical prowess and whatever you feel like sharing! I don’t know much about him

YEAAAAAAAH! Now it’s a party! >:D

Okay okay, so DC has a TON of characters that can be considered bruisers. Mammoth, Amygdala, Blockbuster, Bane, Brickwall......the list is as endless as the number of ice-based villains.

Now Grundy is a bit different. He’s the progenitor of ALL these guys. He was there decades before Bane, before Mammoth......before anyone, really. So not only was he the original bruiser, but thanks to him we have the Incredible Hulks in Marvel.

What’s interesting is that Grundy isn’t just strong. Bane is strong.....Grundy is BEYOND strong. If he was a mutant, he’d be an omega-level (he makes the Juggernaut look like a wuss), he easily carries 100+ metric tons and has carried entire MOUNTAINS on his back.

And he keeps getting stronger. However, it takes him much longer to do so because he gains strength with each regeneration. So in that regard he’s more like Broly the Legendary Super-Saiyan in that he grows stronger the more times he gets the crap beaten out of him.

Another thing that happens is that Grundy grows bigger the more times he dies. A good example of this is in Arkham City. In Arkham City, Grundy was horrifically tortured, mutilated and murdered every. single. day. for upwards of 50 years.

In that huge stretch of time, he went from being around the size and overall look of the Justice League animated Grundy....

To this:

(Photo from Action Figure Barbecue.)

The Solomon Grundy BAF on the right is about 9 inches tall. The DC Direct Arkham City Solomon Grundy is 13 inches tall.

Now, scaling that upwards......Grundy is over 13 feet tall (in the mobile games he honestly looks about 15-20 feet tall) in Arkham City, when he was about 9 feet tall before decades of hyper-experimentation and butchery.

Boy grew so big his pants are about to fall off.

Grundy’s regeneration is some of the most potent in the DC universe. Even the SUN couldn’t destroy him. He came back even after Bizarro disintegrated him to the MOLECULAR level by throwing him into the heart of the sun itself.

He came back. As long as life, death, decay and renewal exists, so does Grundy. One major reason why he’s so OP is because he’s a necessary part of the world’s balance. He’s an avatar and champion of the Grey, i.e. the fungal life and decomposers. He spreads decay only to allow regeneration, and is Swamp Thing’s “brother” (he was originally going to be a Swampthing, but Grundy failed the requirements, so the Grey basically took an embryonic Grundy and became his surrogate mother, developing him into what he is today.)

Grundy has all these cool abilities and all (Hell, he literally used Solar Beam and could manipulate solar energy at one point. He was a freaking Venusaur years before Venusaur was a thing....) but his life sucks. It’s horrible. He’s in constant pain, constantly exhausted from struggling to keep his zombie instincts to tear people apart subdued......

He’s harassed CONSTANTLY by heroes, even when he just wants to be left alone, and it’s become a sort of ‘right of passage’ to kill him to earn your stripes as a hero. He can’t really die so it doesn’t count. Problem is is that Grundy remembers EVERYTHING done to him. So every time he’s essentially murdered, the more maddened and distrustful he gets. He doesn’t trust heroes AT ALL and WILL put on a resting bitch face if he has to even STAND close to a hero.

He HATES them with a burning passion because all they do is hurt him. The only time a hero ever gave him a real chance in the comics was with the heroine Jade. Jade was the daughter of Grundy’s arch-nemesis Alan Scott the original Green Lantern and he adored her.

He was even a hero (well....antihero) for a time with Infinity Inc. He was grumpy, a pain in the neck,constantly getting into trouble by wandering around and bumping into LA traffic (as a lifelong Los Angelian myself......our traffic freaking stinks), but he was loyal, sweet and just a huge puppy.

Until he was manipulated into attacking his friends by a villainess named Marci Cooper aka Harlequin. His friendship was destroyed and he NEVER trusted a hero ever again.

The villains manipulated him and treated him like property, but they said kind words and fed him, so he just assumed they cared about him. They never did (only the Injustice Society guys cared about him, but the team was shortlived and Grundy was left all alone again.)

Grundy is a victim of circumstances beyond his control. Endless years of torture reduced him mentally to basically a child (the rare times he snaps out of it he shows genuine fear of being sucked right back), and is easily manipulated with promises of companionship.

Thankfully there are SOME writers lately who have made heroes treat him better and have shown him to be less of a villain and more of a neutral character just wanting to find his way in the world.

(I can literally go on and on but my goodness I’m tired. XD There’s A LOT about Grundy that I’ve left out, like his relationship with Alan Scott and how horrifically TOXIC it is, his family that he lost, his bromance with Bizarro that DC keeps crapping on lately, how he became a hero in Dark Knights: Death Metal and even has a variation that is basically himself cosplaying as Bats. XD

I might do another post about that later when I’m not tired. XD)

RWBY V8 E3 Thoughts

-Yeah that tube ride would be rather rough.

- That delivery from Blake is...kind off off from her.

- That’s...uh, Nora doesn’t yell her justifications.

- That Penny direction thing was weird. Nice visuals though

- An elevator? I guess it does show the unease of the military grunts though...

- Nora what the hell?

- Central Command huh? Give it to Ironwood: good way to keep out intruders.

- ... Okay that explanation of Ruby’s semblance doesn’t make sense (i.e. Ruby breaks herself down on a molecular level to move fast). Even ignoring how a key component of Ruby’s fighting is using her semblance to create velocity (which I would assume would be KILLED at the reconstruction step, In Volume 3 Episode 8 Ruby was KICKED out of the air by Mercury which shouldn’t be possible if Ruby moved like that.

- How would Ruby know that? Even as it still doesn’t really make sense.

- Yeah, I don’t think Watts is sympathetic at all here. He’s still being sarcastic, he shows no remorse or worry under Ironwood and even his voice acting is working against that.

-Good on Ironwood for making sure an alert was sounded. Also no, the ‘lethal force’ thing is still not enough to make him look evil.

-There’s a lot of unnecessary humor in this episode. Like, you could cut the food and drink joke down to just having the coffee being spilled and splashing the guy and get a similar if not better result.

- Oh it can’t be THAT bad, Ruby uses her semblance all the time!

- Nora, don’t get any ideas.

- Ready for wha-HOLY SHIT!

- Also apparently Penny doesn’t like doing this. Huh.

- Nice little moment from Weiss.

- The whole Nora talk is...weird. Like, she lists off the combat positives of the other group but...excludes Ren because of how he is acting? That isn’t really how the show normally does things, it’d be more like she lists them off and trails on the mention of Ren.

Then we awkwardly cut to her talking about their relationship and how she grew up with him to Blake of all people saying that she needs to discover herself (not even relating it back to her own relationship with Adam). At least Nora’s “I don’t really know who I am” ties into her always being attached to Ren but...this is really off.

- No Penny, you SHOULDN’T be on Amity. It’s YOUR choice.

- “We all need to do somethings...we’d rather not.”

*Meets the Ace Ops again*

Yeah, RWBY is not subtle.

- Weiss stop being cocky.

- Ruby, you REALLY need to be quiet here.

-Nice one, Ace Ops. Divide and conquer.

-Neat animation here and tactics from the Ace Ops.

- “4 Vs. 1? Cowards.” ... This episode is REALLY off.

- “But penny’s the Winter Maiden, she’ll be fine”

Uh Ruby? Cinder beat a more experienced Maiden 3 vs 1. Penny’s screwed.

- What did Penny flash? Pure energy?

- Yeah... should have done that sooner Marrow. Or had you beaten around more.

- Nora, what are you-

-... The fuck? Holy shit Nora.

- Watts, what’s in your head?

- They PULLED out Penny’s sword? ... Why didn’t the Bullheads in Episode 1 do that?

- So Penny conducts electricity huh?

- Penny, stay. It’s your damn choice.

- ...Watts is a well known hacker, he has access to the best tech in the world, he KNEW Pietro (I think) so he’d probably know how he codes-

... Fuck.

- This episode is REALLY off. Like, the characters felt more like their fandom stereotypes and it felt closer to ‘modern’ storytelling than the more classical style RWBY takes. What’s going on-

‘Written by Kiseri Burkhart’

.. Who wrote Episode 1? ... Kerry and Kiseri? And Episode 2? ... Miles?

Yeah...maybe watch Kiseri when on her own. This episode was...off.

[celine-song]

this ask is totally umprompted but can I have some davenzi fic recs pleas

oh look a totally random ask that i definitely didn’t beg for in any way!

Fingerspitzengefühl by dejame

one of the earlier ones. david stays behind to check up on matteo after a party but it’s not canon-compliant because they actually do kiss (spoiler alert sdkjnvsvf). it’s everything we’ve said about david and matteo just understanding each other on like a molecular level

whatever we are made of also by dejame

OKAY LISTEN. this is like… everything i’ve ever wanted in druck fanfiction. enemies to friends to lovers. david’s pov. pot brownies. love. capital L. ugh read this pleathe

everything by aholynight but that’s, you know. a given.

i wasn’t going to put it under the cut because you know, im PROMOTING THINGS YOU HAVE TO LOOK but this got too long so i guess i have to

It’s You by shipsandglitter

au where david and matteo were just friends ™ for a very long time and matteo is an idiot (that part is not au of course)

noticing by winchysteria

another au (are you seeing a pattern?) where david and matteo are set up for a blind date by their friends and matteo freaks out

what happens when you sneeze? by fakelamb

this is just. matteo being a dumbass about david’s septum piercing. it’s so cute oh my god

Show your love, make a meme by marsali

this is pre-reunion in ep7 and it’s matteo trying to show david he’s still into him through memes. very in character as you can tell.

Kaleidoscope by marsali

fucking!!! oh my god!!! soulmate au where every time matteo gets on a bus it’s a different (future) month and he sees glimpses of himself with david before he even meets him it’s… incredible

(and babe) my hands are free by bruisingknees

idk how to describe it without making it sound weird but it’s good i promise just go for it

If my life is in shambles (why do I feel so good?) by bruisingknees

college au where david is Very Popular and the boy squad kinda assume he’s a fuckboy but he keeps flirting with matteo and it’s cute and awkward and ikea pencils really do suck (there’s a sequel to this too)

you make my earthquake by civilians

first of all the title is from a tyler the creator song and they listen to it in the fic while getting high so you know it’s good. second of all, it’s an alternative first kiss and it’s cute and cheesy, all good things.

breaking my heart (in all the right ways) by noorakardemmomesaetre

it’s a coffee shop au, what more do you want

my best person by eldee

supportive! boyfriends! matteo is a depressed mess and david is there for him every step of the way

the run and go by giraffingallday

this is like… the funniest thing i’ve ever read. OP is a mastermind. imagine writing that well while high. anyway matteo hits david with his car and david is very flirty and there’s no burn at all they just go for it. also, hands.

alone with you by myticanlegends

david is in a relatively famous indie band with laura and matteo is whipped

Capture by bri_ness

this has just started but im already into it because matteo is relatable as fuck and it’s really well written. matteo is an editor at a digital company and david is a… youtuber i guess and matteo has a fat crush on him as usual

every doubt we had is coming undone by strangetowns

i cried. like, actually physically teared up, which i very rarely do at works of fiction, so uh. proceed with caution i guess. this is a slightly alternative version of what could’ve happened after david came out to matteo.

phew i think that’s it enjoy

Royal, pt. 6 (T’Challa)

Summary: Freya and T’Challa get a moment alone.

Warnings: none

Word count: 1540

Watching them walk away was one thing, throwing people off their trail was another. My wounds weren't really cooperating with me either. I walk like my limbs don’t really belong to me and each step feels more like a negotiation rather than an order. Everything hurts now. Every damn thing. I took some pleasure in knowing they were okay, but I was in dire need of some rest. As the adrenaline stopped, allowing me to come down from the rush, the pain seemed to be amplified. It was intense enough to make me take in shaky, shallow breaths as anything more than that resulted in misery. I was far too prideful to admit I needed help, so I went back to that conference room and sat on a chair, trying to find some inner peace and do some healing. Water manipulation came in handy for numerous things if you knew how to wield it correctly, healing was one of those things. It was slow, but I needed to do it.

People aren't really aware how powerful it is, water. It seems like a weak element to some, but I consider it to be stronger than fire. For starters, water is everywhere, in each and every single thing in this world, even out of this world. Using it against people was easy, especially if you take in mind that people are about 75% pure water.

In order to heal, I didn't need an extra source of water..I had it on the inside already. Healing with water was a more delicate, refined process of repairing and regenerating damaged cells on a molecular level.

„Your friends won't get far.“ A strong accent in the voice made me stiffen.

„I'm not entirely sure what you're talking about.“ I say nonchalantly.

„I think you do.“ T'Challa responds, taking a seat next to me.

„You are mistaken.“ I reply and a silence settles in.

„You don't look good.“ He breaks the silence and I turn to him.

„Ouch. You didn't have to hurt me that way!“ I say sarcastically, placing a hand over my chest like I was deeply offended.

„Oh, I didn't mean it like that. You look beautiful. I meant, you look hurt.“ T'Challa blurts out, his steely face mask disappearing, letting that young man I've met only a few days ago make a reappearance. It was nice to see him nervous.

„So..You think I'm beautiful?“ I question, my eyebrow raised, a smirk playing on my lips.

„I think you're stunning, but that doesn't matter.“ T'Challa's mask was back, his eyes turned a little darker and any evidence of a smile was erased.

„Why'd you save me?“ I pulled my own cold mask on and decided to play his game.

„Although wrong, your actions were honorable.“ He says, boring his eyes into mine.

„Right. No ulterior motives?“ I purse my lips and lean back into the chair, crossing my arms over my chest.

„How about you answer some questions?“ He turned the game back on me and I was a willing player.

„Shoot.“

„You're enhanced, correct?“ He asks, his eyes focused on every move I make.

„Not exactly. I'm not like those Maximoff twins. I was born this way.“ I reply.

„From what I gathered, you can manipulate water?“

„You're correct!“ I say, not amused by the way this conversation was going.

„Tell me about it.“ It felt like he ordered me and I didn't like that one bit.

„Look buddy, you may be the king of Wakanda, but“ I was cut off by Tony, Natasha and Ross entering. I looked at T'Challa who was already getting up and leaving the room.

„I don't suppose you have any idea where they are?“ Ross looks to me, expecting me to blow the whistle. Has he not read my file? I'm not a mall cop!

„Nope!“

„We will. GSG-9's got the borders covered. Recon's flying 24/7. They'll get a hit. We'll handle it.“ Tony pipes in with an attempt to reassure the secretary.

„You don't get it, Stark. It's not yours to handle. It's clear you can't be objective. I'm putting Special Ops on this.“ Ross interjects and I jump up from my chair.

„NO! They shoot first and ask questions later! Are you willing to kill Captain America?“ Every time he opened his mouth I got angrier. He felt empowered to micromanage every little aspect of our lives, every damn thing done his damn way, just because we signed the Accords.

„What happens when the shooting starts? What, do you kill Steve Rogers?“ Natasha backed me up and I sent an appreciative nod her way.

„If we're provoked. Barnes would've been eliminated in Romania if it wasn't for Rogers. There are dead people who would be alive now. Feel free to check my math.“ My face was red with suppressed rage, knuckles became white from clenching my fists too hard, and I gritted my teeth in an effort to remain silent, hunching slightly so it exuded an animosity that was like acid - burning, slicing, potent. Thing is, no matter how big the fire is on the inside, it only comes out as ice. The room temperature dropped significantly and I knew I'd snap if he didn't stop talking soon.

„All due respect, you're not going to solve this with boys in bullets, Ross. You gotta let us bring them in.“ Tony tried reasoning. It was a better option, but I still wasn't convinced.

„How would that end any differently from the last time?“ Ross asked all high and mighty and the glass table froze into solid ice. His eyes switched to me and that act of the man in charge seemed to crumble, piece by piece.

„Because this time, I won't be wearing loafers and a silk shirt. 72 hours, guaranteed.“ Tony offers with a hopeful look on his face.

„36 hours. Barnes. Rogers. Wilson.“ Ross shivered and ran out of the room.

„Thank you, sir.“ Tony rubs his hand on his chest and slumps, exhaling. „My left arm is numb, is that normal?“ He questions and I roll my eyes at him.

„Ice princess, stop it. I'm saving your man's ass here. I am the reason why he might get out of this alive. Are you in or are you out?“ Every word Tony said stung, only fueling the fire that burned inside of me.

„I'm in.“ I reply through gritted teeth, forgetting to correct him on the term 'your man'.

„You might want to stop freezing the room. You know, before we all die of frostbite.“ He remarks.

„I kinda hoped it would freeze your overinflated ego, so I could chip it off, but hey, I had to try!“ I stick my tongue out and purse my lips.

„You alright?“ Nat pats him on the shoulder.

„Always. 36 hours, jeez.“ He exclaims.

„We're seriously understaffed.“ She says with a small sigh.

„Oh, yeah. It'd be great if we had a Hulk right about now. Any shot?“ Tony remarks.

„No. You really think he'd be on our side?“ She questions and I huff.

„No.“ Tony and I answer simultaneously.

„I have an idea.“ Nat says and I look at her, cocking an eyebrow.

„Me too. Where's yours?“ Tony says, almost excited.

„Downstairs. Where's yours?“ She asks and Tony smiles slightly.

„I'm not liking that smile on your face Stark! I'm gonna go with Nat on this one.“ I wink at her and head for the door.

„Meet me by the elevator in 15.“ I tell her and leave.

I had one thing I needed to get done. I might have lied when I said I had no idea where the guys were. We made a rendezvous point, just in case of separation. I was watched like a hawk at this point, but I knew someone who wasn't. I hated the idea of letting her do this, but I had no choice.

„Sharon. A word please.“ I say politely and she scurries over.

„Need something, Agent Frost?“ She questions.

„I need you to be honest with me. Did you give Steve the info on Barnes' location?“ I question and she looks around alarmed, to make sure no one was listening in.

„Yes.“ Sharon replies and I nod.

„Willing to help him out again?“ I inquire and she nods in confirmation. God, I hated this!

„Take the shield, the wings and this car.“ I pull out a key and give it to her.

„This is the address. Give them my best and warn them of the 36 hour window please?“ I ask, but we both knew this was more of an order.

„I will.“ She says, excitement in her voice. Ugh, I wanted to bash her head into a wall repeatedly, but I needed to keep my cool. Steve wasn't mine, she had every right to go for it now.

„Oh, Sharon! Make sure you're not followed.“ I tell her as she nods again before walking away.

I hurry to the elevator and find Nat already tapping her foot.

„I know. I'm two minutes late!“ I say as she points to her watch.

„Losing your touch, are we agent?“ She teases.

„Ugh. What's your plan, anyways?“ I ask and she smirks.

„You'll see.“

@arendelle-citizen

But what if with everything running on dust that just turns in whatever and Grimm's corpses desolving there's no law of conservation of mass on Remnant? Like all the other chemistry works the same but because of like at least 4 magic systems being part of normal life and science no one can reasonably expect that disassembling stuff into molecules won't negate it's mass.

I too like the idea of Penny just not being that smart at physics, but on Remnant a common scroll probably breaks all kinds of laws of physics we take for granted.

so like i mentioned in the op, no one is watching rwby for the realistic physics and as far as applying science to fantasy fiction goes i’m less concerned with realism per se than enriching my enjoyment of the text, bc i like worldbuilding on this granular level. its fun

so

as a rule of thumb when conjuration occurs in a fantasy setting i tend to default to assuming that EITHER the mass is not being created per se but summoned or constructed from existing matter OR magic is such an energetic system that the principle of mass conservation doesn’t hold. (tangential but, one concept i’ve been kicking around wrt ice dust specifically, for fanfic purposes, is that it might “conjure” ice by ripping water vapor out of the air and flash-freezing it—so ice dust would also be a potent desiccant that strips moisture out of things, including you if you’re not careful enough or disciplined enough when you work with it. weiss can have permanent chapped lips and hands and need eye drops, as a treat)

that said, things like grimm dissolving after death and the roseblance as penny described it *don’t* violate the mass conservation principle. if you take a big thing and disassemble it into a million tiny constituent pieces you still have the same mass (less a minuscule amount of mass lost through release of the energy that held those constituent pieces together, strictly speaking, but good enough for government work.) mass conservation means you can’t create or destroy mass, which critically is not synonymous with matter; vaporizing a grimm is akin to vaporizing an ice cube and ruby disassembling herself at the molecular level is akin to disassembling a lego structure.

(one thing that interests me endlessly abt grimm disintegrating after death is that they are explicitly not just poofing out of existence: they crumble into particles and emit plumes of thick, visible smoke. is that a pollutant. does it eventually precipitate back down as ichor to form new spawning grounds. what happens if it seeps into the groundwater. <- invented an entire branch of science based on this idea for fic purposes)

likewise scrolls and computing generally—aside from the obvious factor of running on a type of energy that Isn’t Real—don’t strike me as particularly fantastical in comparison to a smartphone or a computer. (indeed in a lot of ways i think real technology is a lot MORE advanced and whacky than remnant’s scrolls: sure they have rigid force fields, but we have computer chips intricately etched at microscopic scale with photolithography and that’s not even getting into all the wild shit like ion traps we’ve invented to make quantum computing happen. at the end of the day hard-light seems to be basically equivalent to an LCD screen with really high strength.)

so while there’s obv a lot of wiggle room introduced by the factor of there being at least three distinct magic systems stacked on top of each other, i think there IS a relatively solid basis for assuming that physics on remnant is approximately similar to physics in the real world and therefore yeah a cloud of molecules is going to experience random walk and thus not be especially fast. (<- when salem travels this way she does so at a fairly moderate pace, much more sedate than ruby’s blitzes. also the issue with particles re: speed isn’t that they have mass per se, it’s not abt “negating” mass, it’s that they bang into each other and want to careen off in random directions. this is why particle beam weapons have such huge inefficiencies, particles DO move extremely super fast but in really erratic and uncontrollable ways bc they’re playing bumper cars with a gazillion other extremely fast-moving particles.)

Being honest, I thought Penny was just bullshitting because SHE couldn't figure out what Ruby was doing either, but her technological aspects allowed her to figure out what Ruby's semblance was to an extent, and she basically just made up the rest based on what she thought the nearest thing to Ruby's ability was.

Basically, smart robot girl tries to impress her friend with vaguely correct sounding technobabble, that has a kernel of truth in it but not entirely the correct solution.

yeah pretty much. hard to say how much we’re supposed to take what penny says as accurate vs the “penny is a whip-smart child soldier, not a physicist, and Molecules Have Mass” reading and i don’t think it’s all that important either way, in the grand scheme. i just double down on the probability manipulation/bullshit macroscopic matter wave angle every time i see a roseblance theory that makes me roll my eyes abdbjsvk
