whats bfby and the situation around it ? /gen

Oh bfby is Bout for Beside You, An’s second event that ran in October 2021 (sorry I’m a vbs oshi and forget not everyone knows the acronyms orz). The original producer commissioned for that event fell ill and couldn’t complete the song, so it was recommissioned to Yunosuke and Awake Now released 8-ish months late with her wedding event.

KND: a Christmas Story

Joyeux Noël, everyone!

I wanted to make this comic for quite some time. And now it's done.

I know it's pretty sappy, but I just wanted a wholesome story for Christmas with the Uno family. So here it is.

Numbuh 91,12 sometimes gives people existential crisis and she's not doing it on purpose. Monty always sends letters and leaves messages call to Ben for any kind of celebrations, he just wants to spend time with his bro TTmTT

This is still part of my headcanonverse/incorrect quote-verse where Monty and Margaret are recommissioned and Nigel is aware of the social services shit the bros went through. He also knows his friend and how much influance she has on Father. Gabrielle is also the name of an angel, so he was able to put 2 and 2 together. At the end of the day, Nigel can't bring himself to ruin the moment between the brothers, and is glad that is dad is happy to have Ben around.

And if you're wondering, Monty gave Ben a framed picture of their mother, yes this one.

tom/b’elanna and chakotay/seven double date is possibly the funniest trek romcom/horror movie pitch I can imagine. please say more about tom and seven's "banter"

TRULY I'm very glad you see the horrifying potential of this post as well

okay just imagine. they've been back on earth for a couple of months, no one in this group of people knows what the future holds exactly for them (two ex-maquis, one ex-maquis AND ex-con, one ex-borg), tom and b'elanna are exhausted since they're looking after a newborn baby. b'elanna is very pissed at chakotay for this relationship with seven thing (per this other post), chakotay resents that hostility and he's now mad at her and tom (whom he never liked, very understandably so because in addition to tom being kind of a dick to chakotay for no reason i don't think he ever truly forgot about janeway and tom making a fool of him with tom's fake defection, and now janeway isn't their captain anymore, so). tom in turn knows that chakotay doesn't like him and i don't think he'd lose an opportunity to get one up on him. then there's seven and b'elanna's whole rivalry (need i say more?)

to make a long story short probably the two people who are able to tolerate one another the most in that situation are tom and seven, and tbh i can see tom coming up with this whole double date thing and getting seven on board with the idea of "maybe we can make b'elanna and chakotay get along again". (except of course in addition to the more 'noble' motivation they both definitely have a score to settle)

but neither tom and seven are very good at banter in unfamiliar situations, i feel; i mean, at least tom can crack a joke (chakotay would not laugh) but seven would straight up just try a list of conversation starters, which would make b'elanna roll her eyes so hard. tom would start reminiscing about voyager and it'd inevitably be anecdotes involving him and harry, which after a while i think would make b'elanna upset because once again he's not including her. chakotay would respond with his own memories of tom's being insubordinate or some shit, which would make tom temporarily shut up but make b'elanna even more upset. seven might mention something mildly horrifying like she and icheb finding sleep on a bed uncomfortable compared to their old alcoves but finding the privacy of actual quarters refreshing, which would make chakotay and tom cringe but b'elanna would retort that it must be nice to get any sleep at all. if the topic moves to what starfleet plans to do with their requests of joining it will get immediately more awkward (since we know chakotay and tom got recommissioned and seven was shut out, b'elanna still a question mark). i can definitely see the night ending with a dessert half-eaten and a tom making a half-drunk allusion at his and b'elanna's nonexistent sexual life (see: newborn baby), and seven trying to make a joke about her sex life having gotten more interesting recently but really NOT nailing the tone. everyone goes home kind of scarred by the experience and in utter silence.

tl;dr i don't think a second double-date would happen

Bastion: Fire Nation Floating Fortress

Created after the Great Flood, Bastion was cobbled together out of the surviving ships of the Western Fleet. When the flood waters did not recede, the Fleet Admiral had to make decisions about continued operations. Rather than disbanding the fleet, allowing ships to scatter and fend for themselves, they decided to consolidate.

Former soldiers were repurposed as welders to combine the more damaged ships into a semi-coherent base of operations. Even sunken ships were sealed, purged, and grafted onto the sides and bottom of the growing monstrosity, acting to buoy the Fortress and add valuable living space, as rescue missions brought in waves of Fire Nation colony survivors.

Without a steady supply of coal, they were forced to rely on Fire Bending to power the steam engines, limiting their ability to function without trained specialists. This lead to the majority of the functional ships to be integrated into the Fortress. Most were fully integrated, while a few were partially assimilated with the hope that future improvements would allow them to detach from the Fortress to resume standard operation.

Only a few ships were excluded from this endeavor, mainly Empire Class command ships , and smaller, faster cruisers. Bastion acts as a regional power, able to relocate based on needs and its current missions. Most often it resides near trouble prone regions as a threat to pacify any rebellion. Military Command is unwilling to commit to anything else, as even minor damage could lead to a catastrophic loss of life if the right ships are sunk.

Major Areas:

Command Tower: One of the few structures intentionally crafted, the Command Tower is built atop the Empire Class Flagship of the Western Fleet, allowing military command to assess the status of Bastion at a glance. While initially planned as a command center once the Fire Nation regrouped following the Flood, it is mainly used as civilian oversight, ensuring that everything is working at peak efficiency, and everyone is fed. Some say that the bones of the Moon Spirit are hidden at its base, a prize kept by Zhao the Accursed for his "victory" against the Northern Water Tribe, but no one has ever seen them, and if it were true, the Ocean Spirit would not stand for such desecration.

Farming Platforms: Distributed throughout of Bastion, these wrecked ships have been repurposed to provide food. Some of them are kelp farms, others are fisheries. A rare few have been filled with soil to produce crops, mainly Fire Nation specialties, or sustain livestock.

Fleet Dock: Little more than a massive ring of decommissioned ships, the Docks act as the first line of defense against any attack, and a source of emergency parts as the ships composing it are stripped to maintain the remaining fleet. There is never a moment of silence on the docks, as workers labor every hour of the day to refit, resupply, and repair the still functioning ships. Inside of the ring are several ships in disrepair. Rarely, one of them will sail out to join the fleet, if it can be repaired and sufficient firebenders can be spared to power it. More often they are merely moved to join the ring, as their parts become more useful than a fully functioning ship.

Trade Dock: much smaller in scale, the Trade Dock was authorized when the loss of supply chains became apparent. Unable to produce many of the goods they rely on, the Trade Dock allows for trade with other survivors without compromising Bastion's Security. Most recently, four cruisers have been recommissioned to act as a Trade Fleet, hollowed out to maximize space for bulk purchases. Most often they are loaded with rice or other bulk crop, feeding the entire Fortress for days or weeks.

Landing Field: A few of the Airships build before the Flood survived, and space was quickly set aside to preserve their aerial advantage. Rarely used in combat, they act as mobile command centers to oversee the area, and coordinate with deployed fleet assets. While they represent a major advantage, without the equipment to repair or replace them, military command is reluctant to commit them as military assets. Most often they serve as luxury observation posts for warlords with delusions of grandeur, allowing them to watch their army fight and die from a secure position, as they gleefully redraw a map to show their accomplishment. The crew always tolerate them with a smile, knowing that their petty wars are nothing compared to the Hundred Years Wars, and that the final price will always be the same.

Life Ships: The vast majority of Bastion is made of of Life Ships, military vessels repurposed into civilian housing. Cramped and uncomfortable, they nonetheless allow for some facsimile of how life used to be. Families are able to gather for dinner, discuss their day, and sleep in relative peace. Most of them have been decorated with momentos of the time before the Flood, or drawing depicting life outside of Bastion. While many still hope, most have learned to content themselves with life on Bastion.

re: streaming services cancelling shows, i also have a bit of a theory abt that. im probably not the first or only person to say this, but i personally think its also a form of engagement bait, considering the reason they pretty much always give is that "the numbers just arent there" etc. so when people DO like a show you see all these online campaigns like WATCH IT AS MANY TIMES AS POSSIBLE AND TELL EVERYONE ABOUT IT SO THE NUMBERS WILL BE GOOD ENOUGH TO GET ANOTHER SEASON!!! but then they very rarely do get another season, and then another one-season show comes out that everyone likes and wants more of and it happens all over again. if they werent notorious for cancelling shows even when theyre good and theres demand for them, then many people wouldnt feel the need to go so crazy style for the shows they like. idk idk thats just what i think

that's a really good theory and I think there's a bit of that when it's kinda up in the air if they wanna cancel a show or not (trying to drum up engagement) Especially from a creators pov if they wanna try to prove to a streamer or network that their project deserves a recommission. But generally I've found online noise about a show so rarely translates into viewing figures (legal ones that are actually tracked or make a studio money). Otherwise they wouldn't have cancelled our flag means death etc. I'm guilty of it when my echo chamber is super enthusiastic about a show and then it gets cancelled I'm like??? And build up all these conspiracies but 99% of the time it's just all an investment vs return numbers game

"Open to Interpretation" by kazoosandfannypacks

Chapter 16/16: Epilogue- Reinterpretation Pairing: CaptainSwan Rating: General Chapter Word Count: (986/24K) Summary: Emma Swan is appalled at works by modern artist Killian Jones- until a handsome stranger convinces her otherwise- and after introducing himself as the artist in question, he invites her out on a date. As their relationship develops, they find that they might not be as different from each other as originally though. Chapter Summary: Killian's painting at the Nolan Blanchard Art Museum is unveiled. Tags: au, fluff, captain swan, modern au Author's notes: This has been such an exciting journey. When I think that this was originally just a silly little oneshot from a silly little prompts list... I'm not gonna get all emotional, but I want to thank everyone whose enthusiasm and excitement over this fic has gotten me through to the end of it. I hope you've all enjoyed it as much as I have! Taglist: @zahara @kmomof4 @jonesfandomfanatic @booksteaandtoomuchtv @jrob64 @tiganasummertree @anmylica @teamhook @undercaffinatednightmare @gingerchangeling @lonelyspectator @caught-in-the-filter @ultraluckycatnd @cs-rylie @pirateprincessofpizza @lfh1226-linda @pawshapedheart  [if you'd like to be added to or removed from this list, hmu in my dms or askbox!]

Also on Ao3!

 Killian's residency at the Nolan Blanchard ended a year later, with the unveiling of the painting the museum had commissioned him for. His brother came up to see the unveiling, along with Uncle Nemo and Paige, the latter of whom was more than "just" a friend of Liam's by this point. August and the new Mrs. Booth came by to support him as well, along with the Nolans- and their new infant son.

 But Killian, admittedly, didn't care one iota about whether or not those people were here for the celebration- and if he did, he didn't care nearly as much as he did that Emma was there- today was a day to celebrate her too.

 On his way to his wing, Killian saw his girlfriend, staring at a new painting that had recently been put on display in the museum.

 "I can't believe this Emma Swan has a painting in this museum now," Killian teased, as he came up behind her.

 "Why not?" Emma asked, with a playful smile as they stood in front of her newly recommissioned painting of "Small."

 "Because it's just one painting. She deserves a whole gallery of her paintings, so everyone can see her talent," Killian smiled as he put his arm around her, "though none of the masterpieces could ever live up to their artist."

 "Or her boyfriend, for that matter," Emma nudged him.

 "You've got that right, love," he kissed her forehead.

 They walked into his wing together, where his new painting hung behind a large sheet. There were cameras and a few other people around as well as Killian's guests, all waiting for Killian to unveil his masterpiece.

 "Go get 'em, tiger," Emma said, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

 As Mr. Nolan announced him to the group, Killian didn't feel as nervous as usual- though maybe that was just because he was comparing how terrifying this would be with what he was planning on doing afterwards.

 "I want to thank you all for coming out here today," Killian said, "and while I don't want to keep you all waiting too long when there's refreshments in a moment, I'd like to give a few brief words. When I partnered with the Nolan Blanchard a year ago, I was a mess. My life was empty, sad, and lonely. During my time here, I got to know some pretty cool people- Mr. and Mrs. Nolan, who've become like family to me, and my beautiful girlfriend Emma. This piece, hopefully, reflects that."

 He pulled off the tarp off the canvas to reveal a painting he was rather proud of. It featured two hearts- anatomical hearts- one bright red, though cracked and bruised in a couple places, but with a glow coming from behind it. The heart next to it was in perfect condition, but was gray and dusty, and had metal bars like a jail cell across it.

 "Sometimes we go through so much hurt that we don't think we can keep going," he pointed at the farther, grayed heart, "we think we'll do better if we avoid breaking our hearts, so we avoid even using them, and instead we let them wither away in their pristine condition."

 He then pointed at the closer heart, the cracked and glowing one.

 "But if we use our hearts- if we let ourselves risk getting them hurt- they'll flourish, and thrive, and keep beating. We have to let people in- we have to love. Too often we think 'my heart's too broken to love again-' but that's how you know you can love again. If it can be broken, it means it still works- and the more we use our broken heart, the sooner we can heal it."

 Killian nodded and stepped away from the painting as those watching started clapping. He crossed paths with Mr. Nolan, whom he assumed would give him a handshake but instead gave him a hug.

 Mr. Nolan then dismissed everyone for refreshments, August and Belle especially making sure everyone cleared out of the room quickly- and August giving Killian a thumbs up, as he was the last one out besides Killian and Emma.

 "We probably better get down there if we want there to be refreshments left for us," Emma said.

 "Wait," Killian said, taking her hand, "I have something to ask you about first."

 "What is it?" Emma asked.

 "When we first started out, our relationship was open to our interpretation," Killian said, his throat drying up as he fished around in his pocket, "and then you agreed to be my girlfriend, and now," he half chuckled, "I want to reinterpret us. I don't want you to be my girlfriend anymore," and he pulled a little box out of his pocket, and he got down on one knee, and he opened the box to reveal a ring, "I want you to be my wife instead," he gulped, "Emma Swan, will you marry me?"

 Killian wished he could capture her face in that moment on canvas. Sure, he always wished for that, but never more than when he looked up at her on his knees in his gallery, like a ship looking up to its lighthouse, drawn in by the smile beaming on her face.

 "Yes," Emma said, "yes, I'd love to!"

 Killian smiled as well, all of his fear melting away at her excitement. Energy coursing his veins, he slipped the ring onto her finger, and she helped him up, off of the ground and into her arms.

 Emma smiled down at the ring on her finger, then back up at Killian.

 "Permission to kiss the masterpiece?" Emma asked.

 Killian bit his lip, never having been more in love with her than he was in that moment- but knowing that love would continue to grow with every moment he spent at her side.

 "Aye, love," he said, as they drew their lips together, "permission granted."

Katie Mcgrath on filming Merlin s3

KM: It’s a bit weird and it’s like a bit of going back to school and seeing all your mates again. I’m glad there is something very comforting, and very almost relaxing about a third year. I mean, People have said, very nicely you guys, that there ehmm is a sense of confidence in the show that has been recommissioned. And you got a sense of swagger in your walk and coming back to third season when it’s frankly been more successful than any of us could ever have thought. And you do have a different sort of stature and a different sort of feeling. And it’s nice to come back and see everyone again.

Q: And last time we saw Morgana she had been swept away so can you tell us how you get back here?

KM: Oh can I? Can I? Can I? I don’t want to spoil it for you guys but needless to say the third season opens and a year has passed. Morgana is found at ehmm the start of episode one and it’s discovered that she has been duped by Morgause and she’s very apologetic and sees the error of her ways and things like that. She apologizes to everyone but the question is of Merlin doesn’t completely trust her, whether what’s she’s saying is true and you don’t quite know whether which way it’s going to go. So you know it’s typical “Merlin.” It’s the legend but it’s never the way that you think it’s going to be. So prepare for suprises.

Q: I think the third series is darker.

KM: You know and I think you could see that from the second series in the way that was going. Definitely the last three episodes were much much darker. The third series follows on from that. And it’s quite a bit of, sort of, Yeah it’s dark and has more conflict but at the same time it still does those great sort of one episode funny family comedy episode like you have with the troll last year and things like that, it still continues in that vein. But There’s also a more of a sense of a feeling of a continuous storyline this time which is nice as well. So yeah we’re gonna wait and see.

Q: Will we see more of Morgana’s magical element coming out?

KM: I hope so. I’m telling you I cannot wait for the bit where you know, Merlin and Morgana having that big magical battle. But I’m not sure how soon the way that is because you see in season 2, she’s not in full control and I think that is going to be a while in coming.

KM: Obviously the main magical being in the show is Merlin. He’s the one who has the ability and the control of it. Morgana’s magic is very different, it’s far more linked to her emotions. And once she gets her emotions, and her fears and everything like that under control, I think that her magic will follow. So I think she has to become more assured of what she is before she is able to do that.

Q: What’s Morgana’s relationship with Merlin like right now, considering what happened in the last series?

KM: I think at the start of season 3 she honestly understands why he did what he did ehm and she was anxious to repair their relationship back to the way they were. Because at the end of the day Merlin was the one who understood her and who knew the truth about her and emphathised with her and I think you see in episode one, her... her trying to get back to that. So...

Q: Do you think he trusts her?

KM: I think he’s resolute to trust her because she is apologetic and he does I think want to believe her but, you know, experiences taught him to be wary. Quite like you(the interviewer) sound.

Q: What kind of creatures and enemies will we be seeing in this series?

KM: Ehmm, The first couple of episodes are actually, they’re more, the villains are more people rather than magical monsters which is actually quite nice! It’s a difference and ehmm. So with have the very lovely Milly Fox as Morgause who is coming back and she has a partner in crime being played by Tom Ellis, fantastically actually! Head-to-toe in leather which is interesting. Ehm and I think that might be a sort of a triangle that you might see more of as the season goes on. Ehm and definitely the Morgana/Morgause relationship is a very important one for Merlin and our telling of the story so hopefully she’ll be back.

KM: And then we have Mark Williams, playing a goblin, voicing a goblin in one of the episodes, which we had a readthrough. He was hilarious, I swear, in stitches... So we got some good ones, you know? You never think! Coz in the first season, it was the little show, it was this tiny little show that was filmed down in Cardiff. It was about magic and nobody really knew and it just keeps getting bigger and the caliber of people we get coming in, you know, at the start of every read through they sort of let us know, and we just hang there open-mouthed. Coz were on to, sort of I’m not gonna tell you, give you away any of them.. We’re onto about the ninth episode and the guest stars are getting better and better and shockingly so. So...

Q: What else do you think the series holds for Morgana?

KM: What else does it hold? More power, one can only hope. Fingers crossed. Thing is, We don’t actually know. When we get the scripts, it as much as a surprise to us as it is to anyone else. And the producers keep quiet, you know, quite quiet about what they have coming up more often than not coz sometimes the script works and sometimes it doesn’t so they don’t tell us what’s coming up because, you know, in case we get attached to something that doesn’t happen. And as well it gives you that element of surprise. It gets the end of filming a [block?] and you know everyone’s going “what do you think is going to happen?” so it- it keeps everything fresher for you so I have actually have no idea what’s going to happen to morgana at the end of season 3 because “Merlin” is never the way that you expect! I know I keep coming back to this but it’s always something out of left field so as much as I’m waiting I’m sure you are too.

HALLOWEEN GORETOBER POST!!!

[TW: gore, blood, unsettling imagery, suicide, violence, vomit, car crash etc etc]

PLEASE DO NOT SCROLL PAST THE WARNING IF YOU DON'T LIKE THE THEMES!

*I DO NOT CONDONE VIOLENCE NOR I AM GLORIFYING IT. THIS IS PART OF A CHALLENGE AND PART OF A FICTIONAL STORY.*

Challenge with @spicedwatermel0n and @numbuhinfinitys !!!

Day 3 theme: Shot

Character: Wally

Story behind the piece: during a mission to save a kid, Wally gets shot, but he and Abby manage to save the kid anyway before Abby drags him to the ER. Wally doesn't want anyone to know so keeps his wound a secret from family and friends. But eventually Nigel and Hoagie find out. And then Kuki. And that causes hes to almost break up with him for hiding that from her. But lucky, everything turns out fine.

It still hurt for some weeks.

.

Day 4 theme: down-to-organ injury

Characters: Lou and Syd

Story behind the piece: Lou and Syd had a trampoline in their backyard, standing right under their bedroom's window. Lou jumped down from the window onto the trampoline, then dared Syd to do the same. He did, but missed and hit his head on the metal frame, causing a severe 1njury. They were around 6-7.

He recovered luckly, but since then, Syd became afraid of heights and having to jump down and Lou became overprotective of him.

Note: the 1njury wasn't THIS severe, this is what Lou is remembering, his memory making it 1000x worse.

.

Day 7 theme: accident

Character: Irwin

Story behind the piece: (PART1 1) Irwin and Syd just broke up and because of a serie of unfortunate coincidences, Irwin didn't take it too well. While driving to run away, a song comes up that brings up too many emotions, and he decides enough is enough.

.

Day 14 theme: Blunt Force Trauma

Character: Irwin

Story behind the piece: (PART 2) Continuation of day 7. The accident was very v10lent and the car crumbled on itself, causing more damage than intended.

.

Day 16 theme: Rot

Character: Lou

Story behind the piece: Lou's life hasn't always been perfect. There was a moment where alcohol and drugs controlled him and all his decisions. He got clean since he joined the Adult Division but the thing about adults... Is that they are weak and easy to fall back into old habits. And it can get dangerous for themselves and people around them. Especially k1ds. And they end up rotting to the core.

.

Day 17 theme: bleeding out

Character: Syd (and Wally)

Story behind the piece: adults who always look happy and seem to have a perfect life and no problems are a lie. Syd has been dealing with depression since he was a teen, but lately stopped taking his m3ds because he forgot one day and broke the cycle. Since then, everything got worse and the problems he first managed to handle were too much. He waited for a day where everyone was out and decided to end it. Everyone would move on without him eventually, he thought.

He didn't calculate his son going back home earlier and see him like that.

.

Day 24 theme: teeth

Character: Charlie

Story behind the piece: During the Nightmare War, Charlie turned out to be one of the most violent and strong recommissioned operatives KND could have. No one will touch her other little baby. Not after she has lost too much and is trying to keep it all safe now. She will fight with her TEETH if necessary. Literally.

That woman chewed metal and spit it in on the ground as if it were nothing!

.

Day 25 theme: body horror

Character: Wally

Story behind the piece: Wally has no idea of how he looks in the Adult AU. He knows about his looks only from touch, smell, and feeling, and from how his family and friends describe him. If he tries to look at himself in a mirror or a photo or video, THAT is what he sees.

He's used to it.

.

Day 27 theme: stitches

Characters: Irwin, Syd, Charlie, Lou

Story behind the piece: is there a gruesome way to depict a poly relationship + red string of destiny but make it veins and arteries (yes I know arteries are more blue-ish in color but shhhh)

.

Day 28 theme: eye

Character: Irwin

Story behind the piece: (PART 3) Continuation of day 7 and 14. Somehow Irwin didn't die, but the damage caused him to end up in a c0ma for a month. His right eye's nerve was too damaged and the eye itself almost fell off, so he lost sight from there. He also had to have part of his skûll rebuilt. He survived.

.

Day 31 theme: I lived...

Character (most used): Irwin

Story behind the piece: The theme was "free day but let's make a meme with the person who was used the most in the challenge", and for me, what was Irwin. This was meant to be a joke but I wanted to make it a bit more in dept to close the story.

He survived... Just to see them go on and be happy together.

[nothing-an-iratze-cant-fix]

Ok, everyone kind of thinking of watching Good Omens Season 2 - go do that now.

Everyone meaning to finish Good Omens Season 2 - go do it now.

Everyone who absolutely loves Good Omens Season 2 - replay it now. Over and over again please.

Don’t wait for the inevitable push to get it enough views to recommission, it’s week 1,

Go. Do. It. Now.

And a hearty congratulations to @neil-gaiman, it’s perfect.

[gamerbearmira]

The way that Alma gets recommissioned back into the KND is funny, because Agustin clumsiness strikes him when Nigel was finished rewinding the recommissioning module, and Agustin trips and falls on #1 on accident, which has the ray hit Alma first.

Now Alma not only has her memories back but she still has to recommissioned Monty Uno into #0 again as Nigel is yelling at Agustin for his clumsiness, Isabela and Dolores are busy checking up on Mirabel because they just lost Camilo who’s now a part of Grandfather’s Army.

She finished rewinding the recommissioning module and lets the ray hit Mr.Uno who’s known to her children’s (as a fact) and grandchildren’s (as a legend) generation as #0, getting everyone’s attention when she was loudly introducing herself to #0 as The Founder of the Colombian Sector of KND, then letting Nigel, Mirabel, Dolores, and Isabela introduce themselves.

After introducing and excited gushing on Nigel’s part, everyone is telling their own point of view on what has happened since Grandfather got reawakened by Father, Isabela explaining how she got thrown into their world when the Citizombie apocalypse happened. Then as they are going to one of the places that Monty says that houses a friend of his.

The questions at #0 and #0.1 derailed when #1 asks #11 if that’s the missing artifact from the 6th generation of KND, Mirabel just starts rambling about the history of kindness, past Colombian Sector Leaders who wielded the giant branch, and the significance of leaving jewelry, cloths, and craving their numbers so that the next sector leader will cherish Kindness like their predecessors.

Alma listening in shares the story of how she found Kindness while out in the woods.

Dolores in her Battle. Ready. Armor is listening in on them and listening to her surroundings in case Citizombies are coming towards them.

Well dang then 💀 Agustín unintentionally coming in clutch. Meanwhile Alma is just. 100% cool with all this. Granted, she had her memories back, so I guess it’s cool. ALSO⁉️⁉️ free Camilo. Free slime, he ain’t do nothing. I mean I know that’d be a little hard to do, but they need to pick up the pace 😭 can’t blame Nigel for being excited either.

Meanwhile Alma just like “yeah I was #0 and what about it 🤨”. Love her for that.

Dolores:

[taterforlife]

Listen, if we ever got a recommissioned Sector V into a series, can we just... give Numbuh Three a really good arc? Please?

Like when I look at Kuki, I see the literal embodiment of everything the KND stands for and aims to protect. That joy, that unstoppable love for life and all things that make you smile, every move an expression of just being happy that it's a new day, that strength of hopping back up even when the storm wants to pelt you down, that innocence, that amazing ability in childhood to find a way to laugh without care...

She's the EMBODIMENT of everything glorious of an innocent childhood, and I think that's why everyone loved her and had a fierce sense of protection over her.

Now try to rip that away from her. Try to take her memories. Try to take her friends. Her Rainbow monkeys. Her reasons for smiling every single day.

Take all that away and send her to middle school. Take all that away, with a sister that has decided to hate her and date a boy that, for whatever reason she can't remember, also hates her. Take all that away, with a set of parents that never smile and seem all business, all seriousness, all the time.

Take all that away. See what you get.

Then give it all back. The memories. Give them back, when the KND realizes they made a mistake. She should have NEVER been decommissioned. ALL of them should have stayed.

Give it back after she had to face middle school, after everything that gave her happy memories were ripped away, with a very chaotic family that is very different from her in personality (at least, now that Mushi has changed).

Give it back.

Imagine the loss and rage.

And imagine all the positive change she can bring by channeling that rage into a fight against anything and anyone that tries to take that from any child.

And maybe even...

Change the way of the KND and convince them to get rid of decommissioning. To find another way.

"We can keep our memories! We can stay young at heart without having to forget! We can find another way to protect ourselves against traitors! Please! Don't take any memories away! No more! No more..."

I have a hurt/comfort AU/fic for KND where Father becomes amnesiac. Not decommissioned, just amnesiac.

The story starts with a fight between Nigel and Father, and it escalated quickly where Nigel accidentally hurts Ben too hard to the point he almost died. Nigel called an ambulance because even if he hates his uncle, there is a line he won’t cross (can’t say the same for Ben but that’s why he’s a villain). Anyway, Nigel warns his dad about it (Monty and his wife are recommissioned in this AU for giving expositions and maximum angst). Nigel see that Monty is super protective of his brother and worries a lot about him and Nigel feels bad about the situation. Ben is in a coma for a few days.

During that time, Monty takes the DC under his custody because yes, the social services can still be dicks. And that my headcanon about the uno bros and the social services is always the main backstory for them in my stories/AUs. At first, the DC fucking hate Nigel for almost killing Father and living under the same roof is not easy for either of them. Nigel’s parents do appease the tensions though.

Once Ben wakes up, he’s got amnesia from the physical trauma. But he didn’t just forget a few things, no no, he forgets pretty much his whole life: he ‘s back when he was around 8 years old, when Grandfather was still in power. So before the Kids Next Door nor the social services dramas. Idk, he has a lot of issues, his subconscious brought him back during a time when he was feeling slightly fine, and that meant when he was with Monty. So of course when Monty learns about that, he gets the most brilliant dumb idea… to lie to Ben. He’s going to pretend that they were never separated by the social services and that the original KND operatives didn’t treat him like dirt (both are the reason Ben became evil in my headcanon). Everyone else was just sitting like ‘that’s a bad idea’, especially the DC because they know their father well, and he doesn’t like when people lie to him. But since the doctors said it could be dangerous to force Ben to remember everything at once, the family accepts to lie to him for the time being.

So Ben goes live with his brother too, the whole family is reunited. Ben learns to know his children and it’s super cute, fluffy, and sappy. They are of course kinda afraid of him but this Ben is actually very nice. After some time, the DC actually prefer their father like this. They also start to hate Nigel less cuz they have a better dad now. Nigel realizes that Ben was indeed a different person before becoming Father. At this point, Monty already told Nigel about all the angsty stuff that happened, so Nigel starts to have genuine sympathy for Ben. The whole family spends quality time together, it’s nice, Monty is happy to see Ben happy.

Of course the KND are aware of Father’s condition and asked Nigel to watch over him to find the right moment to send him to the artic prison, but after a while, Nigel isn’t on board with it anymore. While he does want to send Father to the artic prison, he just doesn’t want to do when Ben is in this state. Ben still needs medical attention cuz his physical trauma was kinda severe, and it would be too easy to trap Father when he’s powerless (amnesiac!ben means he’s also unaware he has powers). Nigel learned to know his uncle better and doesn’t want the knd to give him a second reason to hate them. Nigel wants to avoid the original drama that solidified Father’s hatred for the knd. The organization pressures Nigel to choose his side, even his friends of Sector V start to look down a little on him for sympathizing with their worst enemy.

And since it’s me we’re talking about, there will be a moment where everything turns into shit eventually. But honestly, I haven’t really thought about the actual ending of it. Ben does start to remember everything: the feeling of betrayal and abandonment from his brother, the social services and the knd in general, and of course, that it was Nigel who put him in this state (even though it was really an accident). He gets his powers back but doesn’t control them well (doesn’t remember much on how to control them, plus the emotional and psychological pain messes with it). Nigel tries to reason with him, and has to explain the whole truth cuz Ben was not doing well about the feeling that everyone just straight up lied to him. It kinda works, but the knd show up, ready to capture Ben. Nigel is exasperated by their actions cuz he was trying to prevent his uncle from becoming Father all over again. Ben was confused as to what to think about his nephew after he revealed everything but Ben still chooses to protect Nigel from the knd and that where the story ends.

There’s a lot of super sweet moments in this story between the characters, but also some angsty ones. Monty gives Nigel the cold shoulder at the beginning but then apologize to his son for exemple. I just wanted a story where Monty and Ben could be happy together and stuff. Nigel learns that not everything is black and white and there’s nuances everywhere, the DC get to be actual kids and have fun with their father, playing games and whatever. Ben being in general wholesome is always one of my favorite prompts.
