꒦꒷‧₊ Summary Everyone told stories of his kind, but you chose to ignore them. You got so used to how tame your werewolf boyfriend acted around you that you forgot how dangerous he is. But when a full moon rises, his instincts become undeniable, and you quickly learn what he's truly capable of. ꒦꒷‧₊ Content Gyutaro x female!reader, 18+ MDNI, hunter/prey, size difference, forbidden romance ꒦꒷‧₊ Note 1.3k words
༺ Art ༻
⇢ Chapter two ⇢ Chapter three ⇢ Chapter four ⇢ Kinktober Masterlist
This is unusual behavior for your boyfriend. You haven't heard from him in days.
It's only been a couple of weeks that you've officially been his partner, but enough time has gone by that you feel like you know him enough to know this isn't normal.
Maybe that's just how werewolves are? You've never gotten close to a monster before, let alone a species that has a reputation for being dangerous to humans. But you never cared, you started having feelings for Gyutaro after the first time you met him. Everyone talks about how dangerous his kind is. But how could you resist those big fluffy ears, yellow golden eyes, and a mouth full of sharp teeth?
He may look like a big scary wolf, but around you, he acts like a golden retriever. Always so sweet and happy to be in your presence. All you have to do is walk into the room and his tail starts wagging.
He just can't help himself, you were the first person that didn't treat him like an outcast.
As Gyutaro got older he started to realize that he was destined to be alone. The chances of him finding a mate within his species were slim to none. A female would never accept him as a suitable partner due to his appearance. The spots on his face and body were something that no one was willing to pass on in their bloodline. It seemed like a silly concept to you, but for werewolves, these things are very important.
So when Gyutaro started having feelings for you he was more than happy to give your relationship a shot regardless of you being a human.
You never felt accepted by other humans, and he never felt accepted by other wolves. So when the two of you met it was like you finally found someone that understood you. However, both of you knew that your relationship was forbidden and would never be accepted, so you'd meet in secret.
He usually hangs out around your house after midnight, waiting for you so the two of you can disappear into the woods. Or at the very least, if the two of you aren't able to spend time together, he'll leave little gifts at your doorstep. Wildflowers, shiny rocks, or even the occasional dead rodent.
But it's been days since you've seen him or received any of his unusual gifts. It's like he just disappeared.
And now you're left a worried mess. He's never gone so long without speaking to you, it makes you think that maybe something happened to him.
In a last-ditch effort to find him, you search in the woods behind your house. Knowing that he loves running around and exploring there, it's the only place you might be able to find him at this time of night.
"Gyutaro!" you call out as you walk through the forest.
As you go deeper, you begin to hear what sounds like howling.
"That must be him!" you gasp, running towards the sound.
Once you get closer the howling stops and he picks up on your scent. Yellow eyes look back at you from within the trees.
"Gyu!" you smile and run towards him, "I was so worried about you!"
But he says nothing and just stares at you with wide eyes - panting like a stressed animal.
"Wh-what's going on...?" you say as you look at the strange scene before you.
Gyutaro has a chain attached to his collar and is tied to a large tree. It's sad to see him chained up like some kind of pet.
You can't tell if someone did this to him or if he did it to himself. There's no sign of anyone else, but you can't imagine why he would chain himself to a tree like that.
You reach out your hand and he immediately lunges forward with barred fangs. Looking like a feral stray as he snaps at you. But the chain chokes him, preventing him from getting to you.
"What the hell has gotten into you?" you mutter as your eyes begin to water.
Never have you seen him behave this way towards you. He's usually so gentle and sweet, you would have thought he wasn't capable of showing violence. However, at the end of the day, you know what he is and you should never forget what he's capable of.
And that's when you notice it. The full moon peeking from above the trees. How could you have been so naive?
Gyutaro must've chained himself up to protect you, knowing that he'd go feral on a full moon... and who knows what he may do to you.
Your stomach drops and your blood runs cold. Looking down at Gyutaro as he snarls and claws at the dirt, trying to get to you. You don't want to imagine what he will do to you if he breaks loose. He has a wild look in his eye, unlike anything you've ever seen before and it strikes fear into you.
You can hear the metal of the chain bending, it will snap any moment now.
You don't have any time to think about your boyfriend, this thing is no longer your boyfriend. For all you know, he could kill you if he gets loose.
Run. Run. Run. That's all you can think about as your fight or flight response kicks in. And you're sprinting deeper into the forest before you even realize it.
The branches cutting your skin as you run through the trees don't even bother you. You just need to get away from him.
After running what you consider to be a good distance, you look back to see that Gyutaro is gone and the chain lies snapped on the ground.
"Shit," you curse under your breath, realizing the danger that you're in. You have no other option but to keep running, and running, and running until you can't feel your feet anymore and your lungs burn.
A twig snaps, and you instantly turn to see those beautiful yellow eyes looking back at you. Stalking you like prey.
It only makes things worse when you run, causing his hunting instincts to kick in even more. In his eyes he no longer sees his girlfriend, all he sees is prey.
You cry and sob as he chases you, knowing that it won't be long until he catches up to you. And you're right, he quickly pounces on you. Trapping you beneath his large muscular body, looking down at you with hunger in his eyes. The size difference alone is enough to make you freeze with fear. It never dawned on you just how much larger he is than you. And as you lay there helplessly pinned beneath him you realize just how terrifying a seven-foot-tall werewolf can be.
"G-Gyutaro, please!" you sob, "It's me, Y/N! I'm your girlfriend, remember?" You desperately try to remind him of who you are, make him remember that he would never hurt his precious girlfriend.
But he doesn't remember, and even if he did he wouldn't care. Because the full moon makes him go feral and blindly follow his instincts.
From this angle, he no longer looks like your boyfriend. He looks like a monster. The monster that everyone said he was, but you never listened. Maybe if you did you wouldn't be in this situation right now.
Drool drips down his chin as he snarls, showing off his mouth full of razor-sharp teeth that could easily wrap around your pretty little neck. He breathes heavily, panting as the fur on the back of his neck stands on end. He looks like he wants to devour you, but he doesn't.
For a moment you're confused. But then you see it.
The erection between his legs - so painfully hard that it's ripping the seams of his pants.
You thought that he wanted to eat you, but you were wrong. He wants to breed you.

Something Wicked
-Winchester brothers investigate a sickness that spreads through child-siblings that’s really a monster that’s really the thing that haunts Dean for letting it get to Sammy. Help
-“Two queens” “I bet” Michael thought they were a gay couple trying to hide their relationship
-Nine-year old Dean made his little brother’s dinner and didn’t even sit down to eat anything himself. He gives the last bowl of lucky charms to Sammy due to puppydog eyes. He throws away Sammy’s spaghettios rather than eating them, saying Sam was the one who wanted them in the first place- so he probably doesn’t like them. Everything in this scene is for Sam.
-Sam offers Dean the cereal box prize. Dean remembers that 17 years later, which means it really meant something to him, which is so fucking cute.
-This is also the age at which Dean started making his own money Somehow and got a subscription to a news magazine. I think he wanted a way to feel like he was connected to the world outside that still allowed him to stay home watching Sam so he didn’t have to risk leaving again.
-Dean knew about all of the monsters his dad hunts and knew how to shoot a gun at this point and yet he wasn’t scared to leave the motel by himself and walk alone at night. And he’s in what, third grade? His fear center is broken
-Sam was probably scared to be woken up by his dad losing his shit over him, glaring daggers and yelling at his older brother standing in his doorway pale and shaking.
-Dean tells Sam “he gave me an order and I didn’t listen and I almost got you killed.” No wonder he did as John said for the rest of his life.
Sam tries to comfort him by saying he was just a kid, but Dean shuts him down.
He was never a kid. He still feels guilty for this.
-It’s not like he ran away or froze up. He pushed open Sam’s door, picked up and aimed his gun, and then hesitated when the monster roared at him. I think he was out of his mind afraid of what he was seeing-Sam in danger- and afraid that he would miss and accidentally shoot Sam. He tells Michael to get under the bed before they can take a shot at the shtriga later in the episode, so that’s definitely on his mind.
-Michael asks Dean if he would do anything for his little brother and Dean says “yeah I would.” Sam has told Dean both “I would die for you” and “I would do anything for you.” It’s Sam’s way of communicating how much he loves Dean. But I don’t think he’s heard that from Dean yet. Dean really doesn’t express how he feels with words the way Sam does, so he probably loved hearing this.
-Sam says “I’ve really given you a lot of crap for always following Dad’s orders. But I know why you do it.” Dean turns away and says “oh god kill me now” like this is too emotional for him. If the reason he followed orders was like, For Safety, this wouldn’t be an emotional conversation. Sam’s looking at Dean like, I know you do it for me.
-Shtriga attacks Sam, and Dean gets to save him and kill it, maybe allowing him to start changing the belief that challenging John would lead to Sam getting hurt. Before it was I failed so Sam almost died, now it’s I acted and I’m not nine anymore.
-Sam says sometimes he wishes he could have the innocence of never having known about monsters. Dean says “if it means anything, sometimes I wish you could too.”
Dean doesn’t even wish for his own innocence. I think Sam notices this.
Dean got to be a part of Sam’s life before he knew about hunting. He probably saw how Sam started getting scared, how he resisted hunting, and wished he didn’t have to do it. This is Dean admitting that yes, he does question and resent the way they grew up sometimes, he does see the ways that it hurt Sam. They both acknowledge the realities of each other’s lives- Sam understanding why Dean always follows John’s orders and Dean understanding why Sam wanted a different life.
This whole episode was about how big Dean’s love for Sam is, and about a monster that feeds on children’s youth and life force that Dean believes only got to Sam because of him. But Sam doesn’t even remember, Dean is the one living with that guilt.

Can I request stuffy AU Nightmare Bonnie HCs?
Yes you can! Here you go :) Not fully proofread, sorry for mistakes.
Yandere! Stuffy AU! Nightmare Bonnie Concept
Pairing: Platonic/Romantic
Possible Trigger Warnings: Gender-Neutral Darling, Obsession, Stalking, Manipulation, Sadism, Violence, Demonic attachment, Possessive behavior, Marking, Forced companionship.
Nightmare Bonnie is a lesser demon to Nightmare.
Which means his powers and control over dreams is still there... but it isn't as strong as Nightmare's
As this is the Stuffy AU he also has the ability to become a cute plush toy.
Such a small and harmless object... hiding such a dark and twisted truth.
There's a few ways you could meet the demon.
Perhaps you bought the odd purple bunny plush toy at a store.
Maybe he was a toy your parents had before.
Or maybe he just... showed up in your attic one day.
Somehow you manage to get the plush in your home.
The moment that purple bunny plush is in your home, the fun begins for Bonnie.
When you leave for work or school Bonnie swaps from plush form to his true form.
He memorizes your home layout and peaks around.
Bonnie can take in your character by looking at your decor and belongings.
The demon sniffs around with curiosity while looking through his newest victim's home.
Bonnie feeds off the fear you generate by tormenting your dreams.
By creating nightmares he can briefly chase you through them to feed.
Due to being a lesser demon, Bonnie can't manifest his full powers for awhile.
Even then he isn't as strong as Nightmare or Nightmare Fredbear.
It would probably be easier to get rid of him than those two bears.
Doesn't mean he'll allow it though.
I imagine until he's strong enough his true form is mostly invisible to you.
People who are attuned to seeing demonic presences can see him, but not you.
Not unless he has you in a nightmare at least.
You only see him as a plush toy.
One you strangely yearn to carry around.
Bonnie engorges himself on your fear until he grows stronger.
He torments you but soon develops an attachment to his victim.
Your fear tastes sweet, your expressions look cute.
Bonnie stalks you when you're not looking and feels giddy when others start to see him.
His demonic attachment grows in strength, soon allowing him to coax more fear out of you.
Late at night you begin to notice odd silhouettes in your home.
When the plush toy is out of your sight, it looks like there's a giant rabbit in your home.
Bonnie stays out of sight, now capable of appearing in your vision briefly.
Every nightmare you have involves Bonnie.
Most are sadistic chases, others are a twisted form of affection involving biting and scratching.
Since you only see Bonnie out of the corner of your eyes, anxiety pours off of you.
A delicious drink that feeds Bonnie as he grows in strength.
Despite your fear and anxiety, you hug onto that plush toy like it'll save you.
If only you knew that the plush toy you hold for comfort was harming you
You don't learn the truth until Bonnie gets strong enough to fully manifest.
Your fear is at an all time high when you see the plush toy next to you vibrate as you sit down.
You scamper off your seat when you see the plush toy grow into a monster full of teeth and claws.
It reminds you of the bunny you've been seeing.
Then it clicks....
You're dealing with a demon.
You've been dealing with a demon.
One that has grown strong due to your emotions.
The bunny doesn't stop grinning as you back away.
Oh you poor baby... scared of the big bad rabbit?
You should be.
Now he can take his games into the real world and feed off you more.
Normally Bonnie kills his prey by this point... but he likes you too much for that now.
Instead he'll make you his plaything.
Even when you get rid of the plush toy, he returns later.
He's always around you.
You reek of demon, people get a bad feeling about you.
They should.
Especially when Bonnie's following you around with eager bloodshot purple eyes.
Sometimes he nips and claws you to fuel his desires.
Sometimes he leaves you be.
Unless you can find someone to sever the demonic attachment Bonnie has with you...
You're going to be his forever.

heard from your mother (she don't recognize you)
heard from your mother (she don’t recognize you) by rupertgayes (@rupertgayes) Rating: Mature Word Count: 538k
A man named Cas wakes up in 2003 with no memories, but he's able to piece together a few things: Supernatural creatures exist, and most of them will hurt innocent civilians if he doesn't stop them; he has abilities that no human hunter should have, but he knows enough about human hunters to keep that to himself, and finally; he keeps running into another hunter named Dean Winchester, who must be as lonely as he is if he's willing to put up with those former facts long enough to help Cas unravel the mystery of who (or what) he really is. For his part, Dean's still (not) dealing with Sam's departure to Stanford, and figures distracting himself with a bit of mystery and intrigue is as harmless as it gets, right? Right.
Are you in the mood to experience the whole story developing a bit differently right from the start?
Then here you go!
On one hand there is Dean, still having a hard time handling his brother leaving for college years ago and trying to somehow manage by doing his due diligence as a hunter and following his father’s demands to the letter. Somewhere along the way, however, he starts to constantly cross paths with a man who remembers nothing from his life apart from his name and a strong urge to hunt monsters. At first Dean has no idea what to make of this guy who calls himself Cas, but over time their connection and relationship grows into something very personal as everything around them unravels.
If you ever wanted to know what would happen if you were to throw Cas into pre canon and early season SPN, this series certainly doesn’t hesitate to show you just that! Cas has no clue where he is coming from, who he even is deep down, and yet he gives it his everything to use his abilities to save as many people as possible.
And Dean, bless him, simply can’t help but be drawn to all of that (because how could he not?), no matter how hard he fights it. Since at the end of the day he is still Dean Winchester who’s simply unable to resist a blue-eyed weirdo of a guy who could very well be an actual honest-to-God angel or whatever (not that something like that exists, right?? RIGHT????) by the way he is acting and showing off his strange powers and all that. Poor Dean is just helpless and it’s the greatest fun to see him sinking deeper and deeper into the rabbit hole!
But it’s also intriguing to watch everything unfold in a slightly different manner, with some crucial details changed, and the mystery of Cas’ past, of his true being, is wonderfully depicted as they gather more and more breadcrumbs over time. I mean, technically we all know the answer to the puzzle that is Cas, contrary to the characters, and yet (or maybe especially because of it) you find yourself ridiculously invested.
And yes, this series is a big boy, I’ll give it that, but I promise you it’s worth it and you will barely feel time flying by as you dive into this alternate and yet so very familiar version of events which are going to leave you on the edge of your seat!
So please, have fun 😁

Happy Blorbo Blursday from the Creators Club.
Who would your character live for? Who inspires your character to be a better person? Why is your character so motivated by this person?
Romulus and his adopted daughter Tiffany, from Blood in Moderation:
Romulus is old- older than most on the planet, not that you’d notice looking at him; tapped forever at 31. When his tale first starts he wouldn’t have referred to himself as courageous, even though that was certainly what he was; although, he would have not thought himself a coward in any measure of the term.
Being tortured and degraded, bones broken and forced to mend through foul magic- used and humiliated- can do a lot to change a man. And maybe it was when he stopped being a man did Romulus realize how deeply terrified he was of him.
Romulus pushed it away, buried it deep. Convinced himself that it was safe and reasonable for he and Jeffery to regroup- wasting time for well over a century, promising himself and his fellow escapee that they’d go back for their comrades. That they would kill Adrien. The man that had turned them into monsters- ripped apart their families and friends.
But the prospect of leaving the little nest he and Jeffery had created filled him with dread- and when Jeffery said he was leaving, Romulus’s lost quite a bit of himself- hurting his friend and pushing him away even further.
Now alone- but safe- a coward. He hated himself.
Learning that Jeffery had been killed brought Romulus enough guilt to force him from his hole. He gave himself a new name- Boris- Boris could pretend to be brave, and courageous, and good; because Boris wasn’t Romulus. But even still, he found himself largely distant and apathetic.
He smuggled guns and people, saved some kids here and there, and did his best to map out as much of Adrien’s operations as he could without making himself known. But didn’t mingle, remaining aloof with the humans- because that’s what they were to him now, humans. Something that he wasn’t.
—
Boris stared down at the small, sleeping, lump on the bed; curled on her side with knees tucked into her chest. He reached out to smooth back an unruly curl from tickling the little girl’s nose. Her face was calm, big, brown, eyes closed to the world as little puffs of breath left her slightly ajar mouth. He couldn’t help the smile as he glanced down, noticing the gap where a baby tooth had once stood.
Tiffany had been upset the day prior, when he’d told her all the teeth in her mouth would soon become loose and fall out; making way for grown-up teeth. She had huffed in annoyance, claiming she was already a big girl, holding out five small fingers to show off her age. Despite her indignation she proceeded to spend the whole day fiddling with the loose tooth until it had finally popped out. Her initial triumph had turned to tears upon noticing the small amount of blood in her mouth, left behind by the tooth.
He had several guesses as to why the sight of blood upset her; this hadn’t been the first time, since she had come to live with him, that she’d been bothered by blood. He had taken to eating out of ceramic and non-see-through mugs.
Boris sighed to himself as he sat back in his chair beside the bed, looking at the small hands, curled into loose fists, beneath her chin. For once, he was thankful to not be human anymore, as things like him didn’t need as much sleep. He’d taken to spending most of his nights at the girls bedside. Her nightmares unrelenting when alone.
Before he had taken up his nightly vigil she had snuck into his room on several occasions. He’d woken, more then once, to find her curled into the corner furtherest away from the door; keeping watch. She would explain the ‘monsters’ had been hurting her again- always looking away, ashamed, telling him that she hadn’t made it to the potty in time. Having gone in her sleep due to the nightmares.
Boris had never been so happy- never in his long life had he enjoyed so thoroughly- ripping those men apart. It had been a fluke, that night, he’d taken a route he usually avoided due to the air always smelling like filth as it wafted through cluttered ally-ways and over dilapidated buildings. But it was quicker and he’d been tired. He remember stopping outside an abandoned apartment building on the edge of the one of Torch Cities red-light districts. The faint slapping of flesh loud to his overly sensitive ears and the sweat smell of blood that accompanied it had made his mouth water, despite his disgust- giving him pause. Child’s blood.
He found himself breaking the door-less threshold of the apartment building. Letting his nose take him down a long hallway, past rotting furniture and trash. He rounded a corner and came face to face with a drunken man who asked, slurring, if he was there for the ‘party.’
And what a party it had been- a handful of filthy men all standing around in varying states of undress, a strung-out looking, dark skinned, woman in the corner counting bills, and in the center a limp, bloody, little body. Boris realized, belatedly, there had been a naked man draped over said little body- his mind, sluggishly, putting two and two together as his body moved, having already decided on what needed to be done.
Before anyone had even registered his presence he was ripping the arms off the nearest man. A cacophony of screams erupting in the room at the sound of tearing flesh, mixing deliciously with the sweet stench of blood and piss. Like scurrying rats, they scrambled over one another- pushing, shoving, and shouting as they tried to get away from him.
An ultimately useless endeavor, as they were only humans- unarmed humans at that and he was a monster.
Thinking back, Boris was now able to admit to himself- in the dead of night- that he had reveled in slaughtering those humans more than he should have. But looking down at the peaceful, sleeping little face- once sunken cheeks now plump, dark complexion turning rich instead of pale- he couldn’t care less.
For once, he and the animalistic part, that he kept buried deep, were in total agreement. He would keep her safe.
—

Thoughts on TOTK's ending
so i was kind of disappointed by the ending. from a gameplay perspective I thought the demon dragon fight was kinda lame, especially since there had been such a fun aerial boss fight with Colgera setting the precedent. But moreso, from a story perspective it feels like zelda turning back into a human and link getting his wounds undone just removes all the impact from the story.
while playing, I thought that the story of zelda and her sacrificing herself to become a dragon was great. i would have preferred she be a playable character like a lot of people wanted but if she was going to be a sacrifice then I thought that the way they did it hit super hard and emotionally, and so much of that was due to the finality of it. everyone in the game talking about dragonification is talking about how it's permanent and irreversible and how zelda will be forever changed, unable to ever return to being a human or even her own conscious self. It also has the impact of breaking the cycle of reincarnation, again, making her sacrifice so much heavier and more meaningful.
Similarly, link's arm and the scars from the gloom are a permanent mark on him, something he never would have truly healed, a sign that he battled against the darkness with the body of a mortal.
Rauru and sonia's spirits showing up at the end to reverse time for the both of them and undo all of those permanent changes just felt like pulling the rug out from under the story for me. It gave us a happy ending, sure, and allowed the cycle of reincarnation to continue, but that was partially what I felt so disappointed by.
there was an opportunity there to see what would have happened had the cycle been broken. What would the world of hyrule look like when two of the three have been permanently removed from the cycle, when both the incarnation of the goddess and the power of darkness are no longer, when all that is left is a human.
It was a missed opportunity to mix up the formula of the legend of zelda series, and perhaps that's why they didn't do it, is that they didn't want to mix up that working formula, but nonetheless, I'm sad to have missed it.
The ending feels a lot like a sort of cop-out so that they didn't have to consider what hyrule would looks like post-upheaval, with or without zelda. It's left totk in the same state as botw, where the game is in a perpetual state of incompletion
So much of totk is about rebuilding and recovering from a disaster, and adjusting to a new world forever changed, with monsters and gloom and falling islands. In addition to cutting away the emotional impact of zelda's sacrifice, having a big "undo" as the ending for link and zelda doesn't match with the rest of the game's themes of adjusting to change and working to rebuild step by step.
The things I would have really wanted to see are:
Zelda and Ganondorf both permanently become dragons
The demonic dragon is not destroyed, but becomes a fixture of the world, the source of how monsters keep respawning. Dragons are eternal and unchanging, after all
Zleda remains a dragon, and we see that there is some recognition of link, as there is in the game, but that she is truly and permanently gone. In game, her dragon form goes from being called "Light Dragon" to actually having her name, similar to the other three dragons.
After defeating ganondorf, Link must continue to rebuild hyrule, as well as determine a new identify for himself in a world without zelda or ganondorf, given how much of his character was defined by being the princess' royal knight and the bearer of the master sword.
***
If I were the writers of totk, how I would have wanted to do it (i recognize that maybe the writers did have something better planned for an ending but were stopped by the studio):
In the Demonic Dragon fight, Link ends the fight by plunging the Master Sword into The Demonic Dragon's head, which destroys the remains of Ganondorf's will to rule and destroy, leaving the Demonic Dragon a simple force of nature like the other dragons. It can occasionally be seen flying above hyrule as the blood moon approaches, far out of the reach of the player.
Zelda, remaining a dragon, deposits Link back on the isle of awakening, and returns to eternally roaming the skies above hyrule, the last remains of her duty as a human completed. During the post-game, Link can return there and interact with her, but she remains a dragon forevermore.
With the demonic dragon still alive, the blood moon cutscene changes. Now, it reads something like "Once again, the sinister Demonic Dragon darkens the skies of Hyrule. With the power of the endless gloom which drifts from it, slain monsters return to life once more." additionally, this would be narrated by Purah or Robbie, rather than Zelda, to further reflect the permanence of zelda's change and the fact that the world is moving past the Upheaval.
The game remains playable after the fight, rather than being in this perpetual state of incompletion. It also does away with the awkward feeling of needing to urgently save zelda and defeat ganondorf but link is spending his time collecting apples or doing races rather than working on the main quests, since now all the various side quests and miscellaneous stuff can be done after the final fight.
Once all quests have been completed, all people helped, all monster defense forces trained, all structures rebuilt, players can choose to 'end' the game and get a finishing cutscene, that being this;
Once he has helped everyone he can and fulfilled his duties to the best of his ability, Link retires to the great sky island to spend time with zelda in her dragon form. After all, since she was willing to sacrifice herself and spend millennia alone in the sky to achieve peace, now that Link has done all he can and is no longer needed, he is willing to spend his remaining time accompanying her, even if she can no longer recognize him.

Hi hi hi!! I saw Nothing Fucks With My Baby and I was like 👀 (I do have a little note on my phone with my thoughts and comments about You Never Call Me Baby (Unless I Beg You To), but that's still a wip lol). The overall idea of the Reader being the monster in the relationship is just so interesting to me, because we've seen how Jason sees himself, and how a good portion of society sees him; while the Reader is the person who strays from this common connotation. I just think this idea is so neat, I mean, I can imagine the Reader just looking a bit....not maniacal, but some softer version of that, with a glazed look in their eyes, with their eyes almost closed. They catch someone's stare after looking up from a paper they're reading or maybe after looking up on their phone, and there's no awkward smile, they don't avert their eyes. There's just a glint that can be caught that just screams this person is not good, that makes the other person avert their eyes.
Anyway!! I also wanted to say, before I got into the meat of the story, that I loved that you included the Hozier song, really set the tone for everything. 10/10.
Your descriptions always make me do a double take, in the best way, I have to say. I never expect your fics to start out the way they do, but it's so clear due to the articulation. And for a second, I did think that maybe this fic was short, with Jason possibly going on a revenge ramoage because someone did something to the Reader, and we just don't get to see what they did. But after the first paragraph, seeing the way they react to everything is honestly a bit unsettling in the best way. Because when you wrote about the sirens "and engines roar in the distance, a warning to leave before more ants arrive to swarm over the rotten carcass of the city.", I was like "This is definitely not the typical version of the Reader we get to see." The way you describe the sirens and emergency vehicles as ants wanting to swarm over the dead carcass of the warehouse is probably my favorite bit from this, not gonna lie. Not only because it's just an amazing line, but because it's a warning to us that things are different, and maybe not in a good way? If you get my drift.
Anyway, was I blushing when I read Jason saying that the best of him "has always belonged to you"?? Yes. And I love how we get to see Jason from this different variation of the Reader. They describe him as a copy of a man, pieced together by who he was and by the ropes of violence that have worn their way through his skin and into his soul, with some bit of the boy he was still tucked away. And that's who the Reader seems to be doing this for.
Except, Jason doesn't know that. Jason believes he's doing this for the Reader, to keep them (and, in his words, his heart) safe. Which can also be true. Protection is something he learned on the streets of Gotham, what he had to relearn after he came back from the dead. Protection is what he knows, even if his definition is different than the world's. And the Reader knows this, plays this to their advantage by the way they look at him, the way they phrase their sentences. I mean, they tell him “Just three more names on the list Jay. Three more and I’m safe, Gotham’s safe.” You know your eyes look big and wide, just enough to trigger his protective instincts for you. “I don’t want to be scared anymore.”
What does Jason do in response to this? He wraps an arm around them, tucks their head under his chin, and gives them assurance that they don't have to be scared with him, that these people will be dead by dawn, only the ink on the page of the Reader's list to really remember them by. After all, the end of Gotham has come in the shape of the Reader.
Sincerely, I adored this so much. Absolutely loved this as a late night read, and I know I'll love it more in the morning! Thanks for sharing this, have a good rest of your week :)
Thank you so much for your kind words 🥹 One of the reasons why I had so much fun writing monstrous reader was the role reversal. A lot of fics feature a Jason that struggles with being a monster (don’t get me wrong, I love reading them) which led me to wonder about a reader that not only embraces Jason’s capacity for darkness but in someways surpasses it. The fic starts with a trope I’ve written before, Jason protecting reader from an unnamed threat, but then I wanted to slowly working in this dawning realization that they were never the biggest threat in the room. To make you wonder if the men screaming really deserved that fate. Making the switch really depended on Jason’s devotion being palpable (and the Hozier lyrics definitely inspired some of his speech). Reader’s manipulation depends on magnifying the best parts of Jason so that he is capable of doing his worst without feeling remorse. It’s a delightfully thorny dynamic between them, I’m working on a follow up piece that explores how they got to this point.

Scarypasta commentary!!!!!!!!!1
Talkin' bout my april fools-but-not-actually april fools story in full. I'm gonna go through the story and explain some choices I made, as well as lending context to the unused stuff in the previous post. I'll be talking about the second part, mainly cause I don't have much to say about part 1 other than "I enjoyed making it". Let's get started!
Firstly, I wanna mention this second part's inspiration. It was very influential in this part's theme. I ain't saying it because I like leaving unsolved questions, but if you pay attention to the music choices, maybe you'll figure it out?
Watch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAMQxri9v78
I had this exact recap gag in my head from the first screenshot to the actual narration. Even the "What's up - Video game - cough cough - (death)" I had thought of far in advance. It's not a super big deal, but it was hella satisfying to get done.
Here's an early design of Satan I forgot to show last time. He was later redesigned to
As for Satan himself, I honestly don't have much else to say other than he was super enjoyable to write. Interpretations of the guy have been done to death, but honestly, I think it's because he's just hella fun to write. Writing him completely straightfaced as opposed to Tom being... Tom, was also very enjoyable.
I do wanna clarify something about Satan's character, though: He's not evil. Yes, he's cruel, yes, he revels in suffering, but he only revels in it when terrible people are on the other side of it. On the whole, he just really detests flat-out terrible people. He even has a distaste for the layer of Limbo simply due to the fact that it's used to punish perfectly good people. Maybe I'll make a fuller disclosure on Satan's bio, but that's a grill for another BBQ.
Here's defricladus' full board, never shown in full. Not much to say about it, so here's a fun fact: The name is derived from the latin word for piss (defricatus urina) and (cladis). Because haha piss
I'm really happy with how pretty this stage turned out. I used to suck real badly at sprite edits, but I think this turned out super well. Years of experience finally matter. I'll hold off on discussion of Groudin for later.
So, the interesting thing about inferna isn't the obvious. That being, they're a demonspawn inferno craft but is rather nice despite still being murderous. Nah, they're actually kind of a leftover of an idea that never reached true power.
Originally, tom was gonna get partner characters throughout the world who would assist him until the end where groudin would kill all of them. The ones pictured here are called "The umpire", and "Fake El Wawi". I tried to visualize how I could fit them into later events I had planned up to their deaths, but I came up short and decided to just stick to inferna. Also making full on sheets for them scared me
No, Benjamin wasn't gonna be used in this story. I just needed a good background asset that could serve as a radio tower.
turns out i just needed to be normal and use radio towers
Pizza tower is my favuorite gamezing!!!!!! but a part of my brain said to not use the pizzamart so i complied and used wily's fortress from MM7 instead.
Umpire's actually still somewhat represented in this story. Also, that siivagunner statue was originally gonna be used for chaospasta, if you can believe it.
man if only groudin could fly huh
That specific render of gigan here is actually from a godzilla mobile game where there's an emote of Gigan saying "Damn it". See, I'm a fan of godzilla! Who else would reference this classic mobile game called ummm.... uhhh
what is there to explain?
Oh, I guess there's this. The little faces to represent Gigan's emotions are carried over from a cancelled NGC remake made by yours truly. The emotions were a mechanic that would tell you how your monster was feelings and do.... things....... yeah it wasnt really a super deep mechanic. at all.
All of the enemies here are Ultrakill references (Solomon's a maurice, Anguirus a husk, Rodan a drone, and Mothra a Mannequin). You could probably tell I was fond of the game from the reference earlier, but I'm still bringing this up.
Oh yea and Goji2 is V2
I killed Inferna because I like making people sad :))))
This didnt get used cause i forgot to use it. lol
Bridirsom!!!! Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii had funnnnnn wriiiiitiiiiinnnnggg Bridirisom@!!!!
hes just a really goofy dick dastardly like antagonist..... but is somehow sane enough to call Tom out on his bullshit...... man i had fun writing about him
This is where I bring up groudin. its not super deep commentary here but groudin is basically what happens when you give a fucking idiot a nuclear bomb. groudin literally gets stronger from pure hatred. He was spawned from the essence of Tom being a shitty person and even after Tom dies he will only continue to get stronger because his hatred is stronger than the human soul. even then groudin has become independent of Tom's essence due to being so powerful. i know hes basically rodan.exe but maaaaaaaaaaaaan i had fun with him.
Yes, we did sprite an entire army of Godzilla reskins for Bridirsom to use. Like godzilla5 in the front there
I even made this sheet of godzilla using a coal texture! but i forgot to use him oops.
now for the escape sequence; i cant stress enough how hard it was to not use it's pizza time. Hurry up sufficed, but like. Man.
And yes i did in fact meticulously craft a timer for the way back. Three. god damn. minutes. that is 180 frames in total and i had to compile the whole thing in aseprite. the last minute was barely even used. fuck. do i have a problem
Here's the thing about Tom's deal with Satan I didn't mention: The layer of foolishness never existed. There's a lot of people it could be used for, but why dedicate it to one guy? No, Satan brought this up to Tom beCAUSE he knew this would provoke a reaction. Satan wanted tom to try to weasel his way out of punishment because no matter what, whether tom would succeed or not, he would get punished forever. Even if Tom were to have an epiphany that he's a terrible person, nothing could be done to prevent the punishment that would follow.
All of this is to say, the pasta was truly scary from the start.
by the way two things: the cactus is a reference to buddhist hell, and Tom bringing up his love for eating charcoal was a way to setup the punchline at the end where he's burned by fire that's fueled by clean burning propane. Bwah haha hahahah
That's all I got to say, I think. This was kinda scrambled and i said whatever I wanted but honestly this was super fun! Maybe I'll do this for a future project, but for now. this is the end. I love you
"but Dizzy why is this in the same playlist as insolvent are they canon to each other or some-" *kills you with my laser eyes*

I lightly nodded my head and replied. 'I know what I'll have to pay'. – In that case, why…! 'Because… I have to do it'. I replied with a simple grin.
Of course he has to do it. How could Kim Dokja ever see his precious found family in pain and not do something about it?
Oh man, I slowly started to get an inkling there towards the end that maybe Dokja was about to pull a Dokja but I really was hoping that maybe the outer gods were gonna rise up at the last second and protect them all and that’s what was going to cause their story shares to rise.
Nope.
Just Kim Dokja sacrificing himself. As always.
Ughhhh. It really does look like he's gonna end up turning into an outer god.
At least he won’t die, and it seems like he won’t turn into this weird tentacle monster that nobody understands, he’ll be more like Secretive Plotter (or so Dokja assumes) but he’ll lose all of his memories. Which apparently has happened to / is happening to Secretive Plotter and that’s the reason for all of the tiny Joonghyuks.
Hmmm.
All of my theories about Oldest Dream being Dokja, either directly as a future/alternate universe Dokja, or Dokja being his avatar and not knowing it are really starting to run amok in my head…
Oh man though, he just returned to them again and now he’s leaving them again. Like, sure, he’s going to be there physically but he’ll have no idea who any of them are, he’ll just know of them, either from TWSA (which will be inaccurate since they’ve changed due to him) or from his own personal story. But that’s not the same as having lived it, just as Dokja himself says.
Oh man, the Fourth Wall trying to talk him out of it and claiming it won’t help him and just repeating over and over that Dokja is afraid. 😭 And then Dokja admitting that he was just bluffing, just talking a big game and he actually is scared and doesn’t want to lose his memories and risk no longer being “Kim Dokja” but he can’t not do it. 100 out of 100 times Dokja will choose to protect his companions over himself.
Ughhhh on one hand I’m so interested in seeing how this will play out, especially since it’ll be the direct opposite of this arc we just had - instead of them not knowing him, he’ll not know them.
But on the other hand I’m lowkey kinda hoping that Dokja’s Dokja-ness will come into play once again and something wonky will happen with the Library or the Fourth Wall that’ll prevent him from forgetting.
…Even if I still have a theory that Dokja has lived through this entire story before and forgotten it.

'Life' as a Ghost Drabbles: Dumb Idea
Summary: Due to time travel shenanigans, Snatcher finds himself in a strangely familiar position- Kid Lukas: “Are you the monster under my bed? I just want someone to talk to.”
~
Hat Kid had stressed quite stringently the dangers of changing the past so maybe this was a bad idea. But ever since their trip to the past thanks to Mu and Moonjumper, Snatcher hadn’t quite been able to get it out of his mind. He wasn’t going to touch or talk to anyone though, in fact he was going to stay invisible the whole time because he just wanted to see the forest and the town prior to the Big Freeze.
To avoid temptation he’d even done his best to land in a time period before he’d been born. How accurate he’d come to that was hard to say but upon floating invisibly into town and checking a news stand he found mention of Queen Marsi, Vanessa's mother if he recalled correctly, being in charge so he was probably in good shape. He was free to explore a little.
The town was… well, the town. Once he’d thought it nothing special and by modern standards it certainly wasn’t but now it felt weird to float through. Like it was a fictional place instead of a real one. All the people wondering through – far less than most modern towns housed – felt fake too, like actors walking through a movie set.
Perhaps coming here had been a mistakes for more reasons than he’d originally thought. And yet, he kept going, deftly avoiding folk, hiding in the shadows. He just needed to get this out of his system. He’d go the castle, poke around a bit and then…
That house across the street… he knew it and the houses surrounding it. His childhood home. Wow, he hadn’t thought about it in so long he wouldn’t have been able to describe it or say with any accuracy where it had been located if someone had asked him to. But that was it for sure.
He quickly looked both ways, ensuring no horse drawn carriages would be coming through, before crossing over. A quick poke around here and then to the castle would surely be fine.
Inside, the living room was uncomfortably familiar. Worse than that though was the even more uncomfortably familiar humming coming from the kitchen. This was a dumb idea! What the peck was he thinking? He should leave. … He didn’t though.
Instead, to get away from the humming, he phased through the nearest interior wall. Landing him in… his old room. Seems he’d been a bit off in his attempt to land in a time before he’d been born because this was his room. A younger version of himself sat in the middle of the bed, playing with a couple stuffed animals.
“Hello?” Kid Lukas said, looking up. His eyes slid over but didn’t quite catch on where Snatcher hung frozen in the air invisible. “Someone there?”
Seems Snatcher had always had a connection to the supernatural. Not that being able to sense the presence of a ghost was particularly uncommon especially with how powerful he was. A very good reason to leave immediately though. But… he didn’t.
The temptation to warn this kid about Vanessa was stronger than he’d thought it’d be. So much pain and suffering could’ve been avoided if he’d just kept his ambition in check and hadn’t decided to start courting her in hopes of being king one day. Technically he’d gotten what he’d wanted of course but… the cost, not just to himself but to the kingdom as a whole, was a lot to say the least. And it could all be avoided with just a little bit of advice given to a child.
“Are you the monster under my bed? I wanted someone to talk to which is why I summoned you. It took you a while to show up but that’s okay. I get lost sometimes too.”
Right, yeah, now that he thought about it, Snatcher did have vague memories of trying to summon a monster to live under his bed. Hadn’t he also at some point been convinced he’d succeeded? If that was the case then maybe playing along a bit and giving just a little bit of advice to try to mitigate how bad the whole Vanessa thing was wouldn’t cause too many disastrous consequences?
No, no, no. He shouldn’t risk it. Unless… no. Being here where he was so tempted was stupid but he wasn’t a complete idiot. He fled, floating up through the ceiling to avoid any more unpleasant surprises. Instead of all this, he would just float around in the forest for a bit before heading back to his own time. … Maybe he would explore the castle a little bit too as he’d originally been planning.

Why Did I Have To Reincarnate As The Yandere Capture Target!?
Okay, I have this story made up 2 years ago and it never really went anywhere. I guess I’ve been having a bit of a crisis when it comes to creativity for the last 2 years.
Anyway I kept going back and forth so fucking much on this wip if I was gonna scarp it or not. I don't like the gen story idea anymore but I REALLY love how I outlined the childhood arc so I though I might as well dump that shit here and be done w/ this damn thing. Not gonna bother saving the basic outline plot or save the first two chapters that were actually posted nor the wip of ch3 & 4.
:CHARACTER INFO:
He’s the ‘yandere’ one. Anyway MC is the typical ‘normal guy’, college age maybe. Has a younger sister in HS. They’re both otakus or something. She got him into otome games. (He was already into romance novels so it was easy for him to get into them.) Develops malusdomesticaphobia after death. Forever internally screaming. Unsure how to act most of the time so he just stands behind powerful/influential ppl.
OG yandere was abused or had bad stuff happen to him. Gave him a twisted view of things. Outwardly appears very docile and soft but when the Protag shows him kindness and blah blah he quickly becomes obsessed bc it’s been a long time since someone has/no one really treats him like that/like they’re equals. Uses his rep as a wall flower weakling to get his way and take out ppl (like will pit capture targets against each other so he can have Protag all to himself.)
There is a prince character. He’s the 2nd prince. I like the idea of him being the younger one or the less important one. Maybe that can even cause more plot. Yes MC has the favor of the prince, but this is the 2nd prince and is not favored by his father, the king.
The protag girl who’s just a little doll. A bby who needs to be protected. A smile worth fighting for. For wars to break out and ppl to—you get the point. Stereotypical yes, but you need to keep in mind she’s a blank slate, so this is what it defaults on based off of marketing. Daughter of a Baron. Looks plain but still very cute w/ doe eyes.
The villainess is the second child to a powerful noble family (Marquess) and younger sister to one of the possible capture targets. Family sees her as a tool, not a person outside of the brother. Puts on a strong front that can only be seen through by the brother.
The villainess’s older brother is the only person in her family who treats them with genuine affection as they are a siscon. The older brother type character. Charismatic but laid back.
Plot twist due to MC’s meddling: was not aware of the abuse sister suffered due to being away at academy with the crown prince, simply thought it was tough love.
A cute short boy character. Probably has the plot twist of being a little shit. Like, maybe he hates women but pretends to be a ladies man. Or he has a group of boys following him that do his bidding and he bullies ppl w/ them. MC meets him early on and leaves a powerful impression on him. So later in the timeskip this character is still the same, more or less; but has that added layer of following the MC around to try and get his attention. Not really a crush, but that weird anime admiration thing.
Smart nerd character. He can be the commoner who gets into the school via smarts and/or powerful magic ability. He’s the one standoffish character who stays quiet. Turns out he harbors a haten of aristocats and is planning to summon some sealed monster under the school or the city near the school. He has the surprising routes where he kinda corners the Protag to help with this stuff. This is the MC's biggest concern bc he knows this guy is planning to harm a lot of people and doesn’t really know how to find him ‘cuz he’s a commoner from a big city.
:OUTLINE:
Bio dad and uncle are twins. Dad is the younger twin. Is kidnapped when 4-5 and kidnappers demand ransom. During that time commoners mob the place and kill everyone. (Turns out some of the butlers and/or maids are apart of the slave trade and the ppl assumed everyone in the house was associated with it as well.) Uncle rescues him and adopts him but doesn’t tell his wife or anyone that this is his nephew, not his bastard son. Claims he is that bc during the period between his brother’s easter being ransacked to finding him. It’s revealed a chef of his brother’s house escaped but was later found and lynched by the ppl.
The wife is angered by the child and completely ignores him and in turn so does her servants (which are half of the workers) The staff loyal to the Uncle just do the bare minimum for him. This is about a 5-6 month period. He is barely taken care of unless his uncle was around (Uncle’s servants and very fond of their master so they’re so shocked by this ‘bastard child’ that appeared out of nowhere, they think his mother must’ve been a provocative whore or smth bc the Uncle is so nice and caring about his family.)
This is where he learns how to appeal and get sympathy from staff/commoners. Bc he can’t take it anymore after a few months and starts begging for things or to be taken care of. A few of the Aunt’s staff pity him a little and throw him a bone while looking the other way, while the Uncle’s staff will act a little nicer and give him some extra stuff. (During this time he doesn’t really interact with his cousins [two boys, one girl] bc the staff aways rush them away from him since the mother forbids him from interacting with her kids.)
Around this time the Aunt blows up on the Uncle about this and the Uncle breaks under pressure and tells her the truth. She had mixed feelings about this. After this she starts acknowledging him but only takes care of him on the sake of her duty.
She ‘warms’ up to him when she overhears him having an intelligent conversation with the staff or they talk about a concept too advanced for his age. OR he reads some complex book she or her husband left out.
She’s shocked bc she just assumed him to be a country bumpkin, but realizes he knows how to read and write and is a genius for his age. So she takes advantage of this. Bc of the fact word gets out her husband cheated on her and has taken in his bastard child, her reputation has taken a hit in the social circles and there has been some nasty gossip about her being spread as a result. So she has lost face bc of him and takes her anger out on him by ignoring him and treating him coldly. So she turns this around by giving him a chance. Dumps a bunch of classes on him and gives him high expectations to live up to.
And for the most part he does, and he gets treated nicer as a result. She gets impressed, but he still walks on eggshells bc he’ll get punished for things his cousins won’t. And in general held to a higher standard.
She takes advantage of this by treating him like a son when out in public and receiving all these compliments about how well mannered and obedient he is, how smart, blah blah. So ppl are like, oh she must be a good teacher, he’s so well taught. And ppl say things like how generous and nice she is to take in her husband's bastard son of unknown origins like he was her own and blah blah. Which makes up for the lost rep she got before when he initially came to the house. This turns into a thing of her flaunting him and he’s just a prop for her. He realizes this but doesn’t do anything about it bc this is a good exchange for him. She gets to use him to boost her image and raise her rep in social circles and he gets a better disposition in the house and gets treated much better. He’s allowed to interact with his cousins now.
Eventually she gets invited by a lady who lives in the royal castle/is allowed access there who’s a very high ranking lady who she’s friends with. She’s like ‘hey, come to the castle, bring ALL of your children, even that one.’ For like playdates with her kids (also wants to see her friend’s kids). So Aunt brings all of them there and this is how the MC meets the 2nd prince.
The 2nd prince gets along well with his older brother, but when he hits 15, he gets sent away for more proper education since he’s the heir to the throne. So he’s sad his brother isn’t around anymore and that they’re no one to play with him. His sister’s an infant so the staff are like ‘prince plz, you can’t play w her she’s too little’. He wants to play like swords or chess but a baby can’t do that. He moops around in the castle and meets the MC.
Now the MC isn’t playing with the other children bc when his cousins tried to have him included in games with the other kids in the castle, those kids didn’t want to play with him bc of what their parents told them. (after a couple of times) This keeps happening that his cousins hesitate to add him in and eventually just tell him they can’t bc the kids of higher families didn’t want him there and even at this age they know they can’t do anything about that. (His cousins get along with him at this point and like but and are sad they can’t include him but the situation calls for it and they can’t do anything about it.) So he’s just moping and talking to some of the staff and bonding with them.
The prince isn’t playing with the other kids bc even as a kid he can tell most noble children are being fake nice to him and are just wanting to shake hands. He doesn’t know why they’re doing this, but he can’t tell they are trying real hard to be chummy with him and it’s forced. (you know, how like little kids can even tell when an adult is being fake nice?)
When he meets the MC, the MC doesn’t know that this is the prince bc so many noble children have blond hair. (It’s common in this place, for nobles at least.) So to him, he’s just another blond, lilac eyed boy. The princes ends up liking him bc he’s A-quiet and reserved B-smart and likes playing chess or smth C-doesn't have that fake nicety that the other children give off & isn’t super eager to please him. So he’s like ‘oh, you’re like a normal person, let's play.’ That how they initially become friends and bond and like on his 6th visit with the prince, he either A-has a patch over his check and when MC asks about it the prince tells him what happened and it makes the way the in-game prince got his cheek scar and it hits the MC then who he’s talking too. (It was never said in the game how old he got the scar, only how.)
OR B-MC is called into a waiting room by some workers and leads him into a room with guards on standby. He’s wondering just who the heck his buddy is the kid of to get this treatment. As he sits across from him he realizes the prince has a bandage over his ear. When he asks what happened, the prince whines about almost being assassinated and the tip of his ears was cut off in the struggle. It’s then the MC realizes this is the prince bc he has the tip of his left/right ear cut off and hides his ears with his hair bc of it. The guards in and out of the room is bc his parents are on high alarm rn and they have to play in a closed room. It’s only him and MC bc the prince whined and wanted his ‘rabbit friend’ to play with. (MC is like, ‘oh lucky me, I managed to befriend the prince w/o knowing/trying’.)
Anyway, around this point the Aunt just straight up says, ‘I do not love you, but I do respect you.’ And the MC just comes to terms with this bc he just realizes that she’s just never going to be that person for him. And he’s like ‘That’s okay.’ He gets along very well w/ his Uncle and cousins and it feels like a family again to him. He just has a ‘you scratch my back, I scratch yours’ relationship. He doesn’t love her, but understands her. (He is surprised when he gets older like, he knows before his 11 birthday, he’s supposed to be nearly killed by something his Aunt pulled, it’s revealed she did it and was taken away, putting the Yandere strains on the rest of the manor. Alas that never comes to pass and this happens instead, surprising him. Making him realize she’s being very honest, and in her own way, this is the kindest she’ll ever be to him.)
As for the cousins, they’re just innocent little kids, they just think he’s their half brother and accept him. The girl is the youngest, she’s the spoiled little princess bc she’s the only girl and the youngest so she’s mommy’s favorite. The middle child is a boy and the closest to the MC. He’s the quieter, shyer one who's nerdier. Him and the MC are gonna have the same book series as their fav, some type of mystery novels for kids. They eagerly await every release and bond over that. The oldest is going to be the more playful, energetic, and wants to fight sword type of boy. They all like MC and he loves them like cousins and thinks of them as such.
His Uncle is a sweet family man or at the very least loves his family. He really loved his brother and when he inherited the title, he made sure to pull strings to get his younger brother a title and some land. The Father got the title of baron bc of him. Instead of becoming a knight or butler to another noble house. He’s crestfallen when his brother and sister-in-law dies so when he finds out his nephew is still alive, he’s overjoyed and loves him. (As a strange way of grieving.)
Around 12-13ish his Uncle and Aunt are like ‘hey we got new information about your real parents. We’re trying to keep this under wraps but, there are a trusted few who know the truth as well.’ The MC already knows what they mean bc of the game. So before they tell him it or the whole truth, smth happens and his new family dies.
At this point, he’s already good friends with the prince. Their relationship is him being a spineless pale and the prince treating him like a bunny. Like, not really acknowledging his agency. Kinda brushing him aside like a pet and dragging him to things w/o considering his feelings a lot. As far as the prince is concerned, they're close. The MC is just there bc being friends with the prince gives him a shield and ways to get more connections. So he can’t really do anything about this sort of treatment he gets. The prince isn’t being malicious just that he’s been given everything he wants so he doesn’t stop to think about the other party.
So when MC’s 3rd family is wiped out, the prince goes up to his parents and is like, ‘hey can you do smth about my friend? He’s an orphan again, I don’t want him to get sent to the Church, I’ll never see him again!’ The king and queen are like ‘ok’ and that’s how the MC gets into the house of the Villainess and Siscon capture target. Their parents are like MC’s Aunt but way worse. So in the OG game they got their daughter engaged to the 2nd prince by orchestrating an accident to happen while she was somewhere with the prince. She ends up w/ a few inch long cut on her forearm, the family uses that as leverage for them to get engaged since their daughter is ‘unmarriageable’ now. So they see him as an opportunity to get more favors from the crown. Not only are they initially reimbursed for taking him in but… So, basically they bring him to a business party, and him not knowing who these ppl are talk to some ppl are when it is revealed that he’s who he is, the couple are repulsed by the family sponsoring a bastard of unknown origins. So they cut off business ties with them. They use this as a way to complain to the crown that taking him in causes them to lose on a partnership that went back generations. (This business partner is in on this bc they get like, idk exclusive rights to some mines for whatever. But they still do business through a shell company.) And that's how they worm their way in to wed off their daughter. MC is completely caught off guard with this when he thought he was already on guard. This just further convinces him not to try and make connections here. Being outside is his solace.
The last thing to note is that the prince only starts respecting him and treating the MC more like a proper friend when they're a little older (like, about to go into the academy age). The MC sticks up for himself and grows a spine which surprised the prince bc up until this point he had always been obedient, timid, and mild. The pushback he gets from it kinda bitchslaps him in the face and he is like ‘Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t- I apologize for that. Blah blah blah.’ He doesn’t do a complete 180* right then and there. But it kinda wakes him up a little bit. Like ‘Oh, I’ve been treating you like you’re my dog and you’re not. You’re more important to me than that. I don’t want to lose you. I’m sorry about that, I’ll change my behavior towards you.’ This is when their friendship turns into a bromance. He treats the MC more like an equal, with respect.
The main reason why I stopped myself from scaping this many times before is bc I really ended up liking how I characterized the aunt.
Anyway, a few details I though I should throw in here. I had planned for the ppl crushing on MC as the heroine, villainess, commoner guy, and npc/mob #1 (male) & 2 (female).
The npc/mob friends where gonna be his respite from the colorful cast of main characters. I would've written it where you couldn't tell who end game was for awhile bc he had soft moments w/ all of them.
Expect villainess who he see as a sister even tho she don't. Her and Heroine would later lost interest in MC and kiss each other instead. (fluffy sapphics!!!).
He'd get commoner guy to back down eventually or whatever and it was a really question of which mob friend he'd end up w/. Male friend was the answer!

I Know the World's a Broken Bone Part 1
vampire au chaeya
chapter masterlist
words: 837
It wasn't that Tartaglia was afraid of getting kidnapped or killed by the vampire. He simply did not want it to leave. He wanted to hear its lovely voice again, to be able to admire its pretty face. There was much he didn't know about. Much he didn't have time to ponder as his head felt felt like it was being filled with cotton. It became too hard to think.
The darkness of the night was comforting to Tartaglia. Even as he walked through the woods, there was nothing to fear, at least not in his eyes. He was strong enough to protect himself and he liked living on the edge like that. It reminded him of his days spent in the abyss, where all of his time was spent fighting strange monsters just to survive. There were rumors of vampires living in these woods, but no one had actually seen one. Tartaglia was pretty sure it was something told to kids to scare them out of going into the woods by themselves.
Fortunately, he is not a child, and he doesn't have to listen to anyone who tries to tell him what he should or shouldn't do.
Not only that, but he could see well in the dark due to having to survive in the abyss for quite some time. Humans may fear the unknown, but Tartaglia has seen it all. There is nothing that scares him anymore.
Not even the rustles in the trees above him. He never saw the movement directly; it was a bit too fast for even Tartaglia to be able to tell what kind of animal was moving around up there. It sounded big though. The thought only excited him. If he got to see it, would it put up a fight? Try to chase him off? Try to kill him? He couldn't help but hum a bit to himself as he continued to walk through the bushes. Why take a trail when you can explore the less traveled parts of the forest? Eventually he sat down at the base of a tree, wondering if the creature would go on its way or stay with him.
The shifting of the leaves seemed to come to a stop. That was enough of an answer for him. He leaned the back of his head against the tree, leaving his neck wide open and closing his eyes. If the creature wasn't a figment of his imagination, he didn't know what else it could be if not the vampire. He wondered if it would take the bait.
He found out rather quickly when he was tackled by someone impossibly fast. Instinctively, he had started to struggle, but when his eyes snapped open, it seemed that he was being straddled by the most beautiful person he'd ever seen in his life. Maybe it was the moonlight or his adrenaline, but either way, the hunger in this man's beautiful eye and the tips of sharp fangs he could see inside slightly parted lips had Tartaglia unwilling to fight at all.
"Go on," the ginger tilted his head back to expose more of his neck. "Do it. I know you want to."
The vampire stared down at him for a moment before lowering his face to take what he was being so generously offered. Both of Childe's hands were firmly held in place by the vampire as his breath ghosted against the side of his neck, close to his ear.
"Don't worry..." The vampire's voice was only slightly more than a whisper. "It isn't going to hurt much." Childe had started to open his mouth in response before he felt the vampire's fangs sink into his sensitive skin. It stung pleasantly, but the sensation quickly faded. He opened his mouth to complain, but his thoughts were stolen from him as his head started to spin. He felt a bit woozy, soon fighting to stay conscious as the vampire's mouth stayed on his neck.
It wasn't that he was afraid of getting kidnapped or killed by the vampire. He simply did not want it to leave. He wanted to hear its lovely voice again, to be able to admire its pretty face. There was much he didn't know about. Much he didn't have time to ponder as his head felt felt like it was being filled with cotton. It became too hard to think.
By the time Tartaglia awoke, the vampire was long gone. The sun shone through the trees and the dappled light highlighted his freckles perfectly. His thoughts were still a bit muddy, but his first coherent one was mourning the loss of the beautiful man that had pinned him down the night before. He brought two fingers up to verify that the wound was real, and that the whole ordeal wasn't something he'd just imagined when he sat down to rest.
But there they were. Two slightly raised bumps far enough from each other to eliminate any other possibility. They were more sore today, to Tartaglia's delight. He gently pushed on them to feel how they stung, to prove that the situation was not just in his head. The information made him giddy. He'd have to come back in a few days' time to see if the vampire would come back again. Oh, who was he kidding, he'd be back again tonight. But for now, he'd hunt some animals to bring home and feed his family.

"imagine recruiting a guy only to have him uproot your position and take over the cause for himself"
HI YOU CANT JUST LEAVE THIS IN THE TAGS BECAUSE THISSSSS IS WHAT IM PRAYING TO SEE FOR TF ONE!!!
I'm so excited to see how the movie handles their dynamic, because so far I'm only assuming that Starscream is in position of power (due to the throne behind him in that three frames of the trailer..), so I think its very likely that Starscream will be a big influence on his journey to transform into Megatron.
I have a vision where Starscream corrupt D16, swaying him into more and more extreme forms of violence, phrasing imperatives like it's a mere suggestion, similar to WFC Starscream where he uses his silver tongue to persuade Megatron to let him KILL. (In WFC Starscream urges Megatron to kill the Autobots they've caught, and initially Megatron told him "This war started as a revolution, NOT a genocide". But then Wheeljack used an Optimus Prime Quote™, Starscream approaches Megatron and activated his silver tongue: "Such disrespect! He insults you with the words of prime! Such trespass should not be allowed." And then... A few dialogues later, Megatron gives the order, "Execute them." …I confess I just want to see Starscream make Megatron as blood thirsty as him lol)
What would be even more brilliant is that what if Megatron wasn't purely affected by Starscream's words, but gradually on his own, his way of thinking slowly turns from simple revolutionary ideology that was inherently good, deteriorate into extremism and fanaticism, because he sees no other way to topple the power that oppressed him when he was D16.
And because of the Deception ideology that you can't "get" power, you must "take it", something that maybe Starscream would've told D16 as he preached at him and ultimately swaying him to join the Decepticons, it would absolutely drive me insane if Megatron used this on Starscream and force him off his throne.
Now I'm just curious whether this Starscream would be like "HAHAHAHHA YES I've created a monster, I'm so proud of him and myself mostly myself" and graciously steps off and lets Megatron take over, gleefully watching the killing machine he helped corrupt destroy the world etc or would he not see that coming, and suddenly the powerful little puppet he thought he could control forever is now overthrowing HIM, HIM, Starscream, who made D16 as who he is now?
Starscream & D16 edit
We are weapons of war

🎶If today was your last day, And tomorrow was too late, Could you say goodbye to yesterday? Would you live each moment like your last? Leave old pictures in the past, Donate every dime you have? If today was your last day🎶 Yeah! I went there! I like Nickelback! If you knew I’d put in these lyrics for this finale opening review cuz of the title, then, like Tikki, you deserve a cookie!🍪 So, would you? Would you do all those things the lyrics sang? Did one of the characters do that? Maybe? A lot has happened since the beginning of the season, but the most important one was the time limit Gabe/Monarch set for himself and now, the last amounts of sand in his hourglass of life is finally coming to an end. What was his last act on Earth? You’ll see:
The Last Day
*Part 1:Conformation-Operation Perfect Alliance is the last attempt from Gabe/Monarch and Tomoes villainy and what did it come with? Well, it came with:Adriens worst nightmare from “Sandboy”, a global pandemic of mental manipulation, false projections of happiness, a “kidnapping” of a nonexistent ship, a faceless army of world wide brainwashed mooks, shocking reveals (one of which Marinette failed to pick up on during Feligami’s theatrical act (“Representation”)) and a unification of the two most powerful miraculouses!
———————————————
*Part 2:Re-creation-After 8 years and 5 seasons (and also much complaints of unruly fans everywhere), the final epic showdown between good and evil has finally come at last! The seasonal name changing, Monarch, vs. The combined forces of creation and destruction, Bugnoir, Smackdown! They weren’t the only ones, Su-Han (who FINALLY showed up after almost being gone to fetch “backup”!), The Resistance and the heroes from both specials came in for the big epic battle of them against the world, so we went back and fourth on that. What happened? Weeeeeeellll, let’s just say the latter of the fight was “better” cuz of the outcome of the main fight on hand due to a certain long desired wish happening. FYI, the wish wasn’t about turning garden peas red! Whomp! Whomp! Whoooop! If you wanna know how the final battle went? Let’s just say Marinette should’ve listened to the Kwamies (who by the way transformed into their true mystical (and very accurate) angel forms and became one as “Gimmi” which was pretty badass), followed her own advice from what she told Adrien ((“Revelation”) (sighs) Marinette, next time you think you’re getting through to someone, punch them in face….then face yourself in the face) and how it was vaguely similar to Tobey Maguires Spider-Man and William Dafoes Green Goblins last scene together…….yeah….like that. Guess that means Gabe is a mix of both Mr.Freeze and Green Goblin! How ‘bout that?
R.I.P. (rot in peril) Gabriel Agreste/Hawk Moth/Scarlet Moth/Shadow Moth/Shadow Noir/Monarch/Monarchbug, formally Gabi Grassette, and first villain of “Miraculous Ladybug”🪦The once humble and sane tailor turned heartless monster all cuz he couldn’t bare to live without his loved one. Definitely not like Adrien who was smart to move on and continue to seek happiness elsewhere like Emilie wanted and not be stuck in the past trying to retain what once was and succumbing to madness (like how Bugnoir said) and we’re supposed to believe Gabe’s sacrifice to take Emilies place (which by the way wasn’t even confirmed by Astruc if that was either her or Amelie in the end! Even worse! No emotional reuniting with her and Adrien! :P) was his way of “atoning” for his sins? BULLSH*T! This may have worked on the target demographic audience (ages 6-11), but not on older and mature fans of the show! MmmMm (shakes head) No siree Bob! No amount of “last act of kindness” is gonna be enough to make us forget how he ruthlessly terrorized Paris and horribly mistreated his son! You know who did forget? THE WHOLE WORLD! That’s right! Why the f*ck do you think the ep was called RE-CREATION!!!? Gabe’s wish must’ve not only modified Adrien from only remembering him as a “good” father, but the whole f*cking world (except for a few like Marinette/Ladybug) thinking he was a “hero”! Sh*t! The bastard even got an ugly a** statue of himself when it was said he “helped Ladybug defeat Monarch!”🤮He may have gotten what he wanted, but the only good thing that came out of it was he’s not there to be with Emilie (cuz we all know she would’ve given him a big a** slap in the face for what he did) and he’s finally dead so good riddens to him! Humph! Course being the “righteous” person that she is, Marinette honored his dying words to keep quiet about who he really was for Adrien sake (might make a post on why he (as Cat Noir) wasn’t involved in the epic showdown) Probably cuz in the end, the important thing is there’s no threat anymore what with Gabe’s wish including a utopia and all. No villains, no akumas, no nothing! Just laughter, joy and peace……..for now at least. This shows been renewed for a 6th-8th season (and possibly to 12!), so we’ll be expecting a whole new evil emerging from the shadows and it’s in the form of a “young and highly manipulative compulsive liar who has a multitude of identities to spare!” I’ll see you all next year fellow miraculars. Bug out!
P.S.:I’ll be back for that “Action” thing though
