I really do have to wonder what Tails and Knuckles' roles are in this movie, because they're almost always seen with Sonic in the trailer, but I don't them to only stand around while Sonic makes most of the decisions and thus mainly be extensions of him
I'm confident that it won't come to that.
Despite the fact that Tails and Knuckles are mostly seen with Sonic in the trailer, there's only so much a trailer itself can show off. We've only seen about 2-3 minutes so far out of a 2 hour movie.
Thinking back to the way the three fought together against Robotnik in Sonic Movie 2, here's how I see the characters playing out in Sonic Movie 3:
Sonic is the leader and rallies the team together with enthusiasm.
Knuckles is the hard puncher, but able to step back and consider options.
Tails is the calculating genius and will resort to tricky tactics if needed.
These three have their strengths and weaknesses, but they come together as one. I can understand your concerns though, and your fears of the writers potentially forgetting about this dynamic. However, considering how carefully they've been handled together in Sonic Movie 2, and even the brief scenes together in the Knuckles series, I have faith the writers won't let us down.
Another thing to add: these three have developed a closer bond since Sonic Movie 2. No longer are they just comrades who worked together out of necessity. Now they are true brothers in arms who just happen to be a team. I'm really looking forward to the dynamic there. How they need to save the world, but also remember to check in and keep each other safe. And it will be especially interesting to see if Sonic does end up going down this "dark path" route to take down Shadow.

The Batfamily fucking with Gotham must be the funniest thing. Nightwing corners two goons and they’re laughing him off so he says “don’t make me call the other guy!” and they start laughing even harder thinking he’s just going to call Mr. “no kill rule” again.
Nah, he calls Red Hood — the guy whose most recent temper tantrum resulted in the collection of multiple severed heads which the dude carried around for hours in a duffel bag like that’s fucking normal — and Jason steps out of the shadows with a big grin under his helmet like “Oh yeah, you’re dealing with me now. This is gonna be fun.”

found family coworkers (definition multiple) of all time [image description under cut]
Comic 1:
First panel, Ingo and Akari are standing together. Someone off-screen asks “oh, is that your dad?”. Akari has an awkward smile and replies “oh, no no. he’s my...” There’s a long pause as she looks at Ingo. He’s leaving it up to her. She finishes, “He’s my coworker... friend... guy.” In smaller font, she continues “yea. that.” Comic 2: A dramatic panel of Volo, looking pissed off, shouting “who are you to interfere?!!” Ingo tugs the brim of his cap lower. The upper half of his face is in shadow, while his eyes stand out. He looks threatening but has his expression is his characteristic neutral-frown, and he says “...I’m her coworker friend guy.”. In the final panel, Machoke is throwing an incredible amount of punches, a reference to Star Platinum from Jojo. Ingo is pointing with one hand, his battle pose. The background text reads, “What does that even mean??” Volo is experiencing off-screen violence.
Comic 3: The comic is titled “Reunion”. In the first panel, Ingo shows off Akari, with a faint smile on his face. She is labelled “best girl (assigned by god)”. He says, “Emmet, this is Akari, my coworker. She’s the reason I was able to return to this station.” In smaller font, Akari comments to herself, “ooh... so this is the man in white.”
In the second panel, in smaller font Ingo notes “I think I remember now...” He says, “Akari, this is Emmet. He's also my coworker.” Coworker is underlined. Emmet is crying in the background, looking confused, conflicted, distressed, and happy. He says, “Brother...?” In the final panel, we see a framed photograph of all three together. Underneath are the words, Employee of the Month. Akari is dressed as a depot agent, and she and Ingo pose with peace signs. Emmet is red faced from crying, but he’s smiling widely. He looks happy.

Jon, Kon, Tim and Damian all chatting, and start musing on their various anxieties about going dark side and how they would stop each other.
Elle wanders in and only catches the last bit where Jon and Damian are referencing world domination and is just like:
Elle: Oh, are we going dark side? Who do you guys need me to fight? I can body just about anyone in the League but I'm pretty sure Batman had some tricks up his sleeve to deal with me so we'll have to account for that. I know you guys aren't gonna want to kill anyone in your families, but I'm pretty sure I could alter the nightmare dimension to be less, you know, nightmare-y while still keeping it inescapable so that's an option -
Jon: W h a t
Damian: We are not going "dark side" Nightingale...probably.
Jon: Definitely! Definitely no dark side!
Elle, relieved: Oh thank the Ancients, that was gonna be such a bummer
Tim: Jesus Christ you didn't even hesitate
Kon: You didn't even need any kind of justification. Did you just hear Jon say "take over the world" and that was all you needed???
Elle: I mean, yeah? I wouldn't be happy about it but I'm not just gonna let Jolly and Day go and take over the world without me.
Jon: I'm not sure if I should feel touched or worried...
Damian: Are you seriously saying your loyalty to us is greater than your duty to the world?
Elle: Day I would crack the universe in half and devour the souls everyone who ever so much mildly inconvenienced you two if you asked.
Tim & Kon: *fear.jpg*

"Hello there, little comet."
Robin wirled around with his sword pointed, standing still just before the skin of the others throat.
"Always so tense." The person teases and Robin tuts, pulling his sword back.
"Still obnoxious as always, Wraith."
The man chuckles lightly, stepping out of the shadows with a wave. "Have you learned any slang now that you live with your father? Fitting in is one of the most important skills for an assassin."
Robin scowls. "I'm not an assassin anymore."
The man is undeniable smiling beneath the mask, green eyes crinkling. It has Damian feeling all soft and squishy, he turns around with a huff, kicking the ridiculousness of those feelings away.
"You have grown."
"I have."
"I'm glad."
Robin averts his eyes as his comm comes to life, crackling in his ear. "Robin, mugging happening around the corner from your position."
He gives his acknowledgement, turning back to the man—
Only for him to be gone.
Damian sighs. "Until then, brother."
He leaps across the buildings, stepping in as the mugging happens.
(Usually, I would put this in the tags, but I'll put it here now for some background!)
Wraith, also formally known as Danyal al Ghul, son of Talia al Ghul and Lady Shiva.
He is younger than his sister, Cass, but older than Damian. During his league days, his loyalty stayed towards Talia, always has until he met Damian as a baby.
He became his guard, much like Cass was supposed for the Demon Head, one of the few teachers Jason had after and went on missions with.
Does he reappear later again? Who knows! He is still with the League, under Talia's command while sticking close to Ra's. A spy if you will.

Read Part two here
Tumblr media
Four Years Ago
Miami Florida University
The night on campus was quiet, the only things to be heard were the comforting trill of crickets and the soft waves of the ocean, only three miles out from the college.
Armando sat idle on his motorcycle, twelve beats away from where he’d been told you, their next victim, worked.
This entire time he’d been killing people in the name of the Aretas family, he couldn’t understand why Mike Lowery, some beat cop came last. And why his mother was resorting to taking his daughter as bait.
What made Mike so important that he deserved a fight for his life, for your life?
“Mamá, no entiendo, ¿por qué ella?” Armando says through his phone.
Isabel sighs on the other end. “Con el tiempo, hijo mío.”
“She’s just a kid.” Armando sighs, pulling out his ipad and looking at your photos again.
From what he gathered, your were a first year nursing student here at MFU, you got great grades, danced for a kpop club, and worked part time at the cafe he was currently parked out side of.
But most importantly, you were Mike Lowery’s daughter.
Which, in the grand scheme of things, shouldn’t matter.
But for some reason, to his mother, it did.
“She's a pawn,’ Isabel hisses. “Mike necesita conocer el dolor de la pérdida; this will show him.”
Armando nods, taking a deep breath, feeling the same incorrigible anger rising up in his pit again at the sound of Mikes name.
This man had stolen everything from him: his family, his dynasty…his father.
Though his didn’t understand his mother’s methods, he’d never question her madness.
This man took everything from them, it’s time he learned that same pain, and as much as he didn’t enjoy hurting innocent… you were the key to getting even.
“Lo haré mamá.” Armando said, watching you finally exit the cafe.
“Muy bien.” Isabel said, hanging up.
Armando pushed off on his bike, riding a bit down the narrow street before hanging a right and turning back around.
Out of his pocket, he pulled out a needle. Whatever was in there was strong enough to knock out a bear, so it should have no problems sending you, a small college freshman, into a deep sleep.
Swiftly, he drives forward, accelerating until he just passes you before he makes an abrupt stop, cutting your path off.
You fall back and onto your ass.
You help as you hit the pavement, lifting your small hands to access the damage that had been caused by you cradling your fall.
You hiss at your bleeding palms before looking up at Armando in sheer disgust.
The heat of your gaze causes Armando to flip up the visor on his helmet, something in your eyes giving him pause.
He wasn’t a vain person in the slightest, but something about your eyes, when he looked in the mirror, they were so similar to his own that it nearly startled him. They were the same shade of chocolate brown covered by thick, dark lashes.
His observation of you quickly dries as your curse at him. “What the hell, dude! You could have killed me!”
Armando doesn’t say anything, instead he offers you a hand.
Reluctantly, you take it.
Just as your nearly up, Armando pricks you with the needle.
Your face drops as you snatch your hand away from him.
You look down at your palm, a single trail of blood dribbling down your wrist from the spot he pricked you at.
“What the fuck,’ you wobble, turning to run down an ally.
Armando watches as you attempt to flee, he knew it wouldn’t be long before you passed out.
And as he predicted, ten steps in and you were slumped against the moist ally ground.
He picks you up, slinging you across his shoulders, carrying you towards his bike and driving off into the night.
Later…
When you awoke, you found yourself bound to a chair in a large, abandoned house. You wiggle against the binds, only scathing your wrist even more.
You scream out, panic rising in your chest as your breaths shorten.
"Help!" You scream. "Someone help me!"
"Help is on the way, princessa.' A slick voice says.
You turn and see a beautiful woman taking slow, slutry steps down the staircase towards you.
"Who the hell are you?" You croak, scooting away from her the best you can in this damn chair.
The woman, grips your chair with one hand, while running another through your curls. "Your fathers la venganza.” She hissed.
“Don’t touch me,’ you bite. “And my father did nothing wrong, you’re lying.”
Isabel grips your chin, hard. You try and wiggle free but it’s no use as she pulls you close.
She turns your head from side to side, the warm evening sun causing a glint in your eyes.
“Always the eyes,’ she mumbles. “He gives all of his children his eyes.”
“What?” You question, breathlessly.
Isabel forcefully lets you go, leaving a sore spot on your chin.
Your mind reels around her words and the weight of them.
She was your father’s revenge, why? And had she been the one to shoot him all those months ago?
And all of his children. Your father only had one child, you.
Looking around the wear house and seeing all the sage and candles burnt, the circles and alters, you could tell that whoever this woman was, she was crazy and you wanted no parts.
The thought was enough to make a few screams come out of you.
You stamp your foot against the ground, “Let me go! Let me the fuck go!”
Isabel rolls her eyes at you, mumbling something in Spanish before she shouts, “Armando, ven a llevarla antes de que la mate yo mismo.”
Quickly, the man for the other night emerges.
“No,’ you scoot back in your chair as far as you could. “No.”
The man, Armando, grabs you out of your chair and drags you up the staircase.
At the top of the staircase, he slices your binds loose but still has a good hold on you.
Now, you by no means are a good fighter, but with your dad being police, you know a few things.
So as Armando unlocks a door, presumably to put you in, you stamp on his foot as hard as you can.
Armando yelps at the sensation, doubling over, giving you enough time to kick him in the legs and send him down on the ground.
As soon as he hits the floor you take off, running down the steps as fast as you can.
In the foyer, you check for the exit in front of you, but the door is locked.
Your head is buzzing, you didn’t have much time as Armando would be up soon, probably ready to kill you, and that Isabel, who knew what she’d do if she caught you.
You had to move fast, and the window behind you, seemed like your best bet.
You scurried over me to it, working frantically as you tore wooden planks off the window.
You about all got your face out the window before strong arms wrap around your waist living and pushing your back.
You scream as you hit the ground, coming face to face with a less than pleased Armando.
“Enough games!” He shouts.
You crawl backwards, afraid he’ll hit you…or worse.
���Okay!’ You whimper. “I’m sorry…I’m sorry.” You squeak as he towers over your shaking body.
You fully expect him to return the blows you’d given him earlier, but to your surprise he doesn’t. He just grabs you up again and takes you back to that same room.
Shoving you inside he gives you a parting word.
“Do that shit again, and I won’t save you.” He slams the door, leaving you alone in a windowless room, wondering how you’ll end up dead.
In all the enemies your father has had, none of them had mad it a personal mission to kidnap you…so why had they?
Fingers toiling with the dirt around you, it finally clicked.
This was a set up.
You were bait.
And just as fate would have it, you could hear what sounded like your father and Marcus crowding in the foyer downstairs.
You stood up, running towards the door and banging on it like a madwoman.
“Help! Dad! Uncle Marcus!” You shout, slamming your fist against the door.
When the door flies open, you expect to see one or both of them there, but you see Armando.
“Come on.” He grabs you. “Nice and easy.” He places a gun to your temple.
“Stop, why are you doing this?” You whimper, taking careful steps down the stairs.
“Why did your father start it, hm, princesa?” He questions, pulling you in front of your family.
“Dad!” You shout, tears pooling from your eyes.
“Let her go, Armando!’ He shouts, turning to Isabel who stands elated. “She’s a kid.”
“We were all kids once, Mike. It’s why she must have her turn.” Isabel says.
Mike shakes his head, drawing his gun at her, Marcus doing the same to Armando.
“You kill me, he kills her.” Isabel shrugs.
Marcus adds, “then I’ll kill him.”
“Then it’ll be a blood bath.”
You whimper, “please don’t hurt me.”
Armando tightens his grip on you. “Cállate.”
“I just want to go home, daddy.” You cry.
Mikes hand shakes as he hears your pleas. “I know, baby, and we will.”
Isabel smacks her lips. “Liar!” She shouts, lunging at Mike.
Mike dodges the hit, but Marcus’s gun going off starts a cataclysmic event.
Everyone who wants present before suddenly emerging from the darkness and letting off their weapons.
You scream, falling back into Armando, who lifted you off the ground with one hand while shooting with the other, as the chaos erupts around you.
“Marcus!’ Mike yells. “Get Isabel, I’ll get my daughter!”
Marcus sprints, to the best of his ability, after Isabel, while Mike makes full way towards Armando.
In a dark room, Armando drops you, pushing you into a corner.
“Don’t make a fucking sound.” He threatens.
You whimper in a comply.
You hear your father, Mike, burst through the doors, calling your name.
You do as Armando says, though, keeping quiet, afraid anything you do or say will get you and Mike hurt…or worse.
You watch from the dark corner as your father searches the room, only seconds later Armando jumps him, landing a blow.
You watch from the sidelines as they traded blows back and forth.
And it hurt to watch your father in a fight, it did, but what hurt most? The words slipping from his mouth.
“Armando,’ he said. “I’m your father.”
Your head was buzzing, spinning.
What the fuck did he mean this man was his son? How was that even possible?
Your heart raced as you watched Armando’s face fall, confusion lacing every corner.
“You’re lying,’ he said lading another blow, bending down and dragging your father out of the room and into the burning hallway.
You weren’t sure if it was adrenaline or curiosity, but you needed to see this through, hear it for yourself.
You push to stand and creep after them.
Armando has your father at the ledge, his shirt balled up working his hands.
“Last chance,’ he croaks, eyes searching. “Who are you?”
“I just told you.”
“Lie again.” Armando growled, wrapping his hand around your fathers neck, applying pressure.
You gasped, stepping forward, but a hand cautioned you to stay hidden.
You turn, finding Marcus’s comforting eyes as he mouths, “Don’t do it.”
"He needs us," you whisper in protest, Marcus's arm staying firm on yours.
"They need this, just wait."
You relax, only a little watching the scene unfold.
"Ask your mother if you don't believe me." Mike croaks.
Armando turns, loosening his grip on Mike, and in a turn of lightning, Isabel appears, mumbling in Spanish.
"Es verdad lo que dice?" Armando questions his mother.
Isabel shrugs. "No es importante. Mátalo.' her eyes drag over to where you and Marcus stand. "Entonces ellos."
Armando shakes his head in frustration. "Es mi papá?"
Isabel's eyes darken, her words fleeing her mouth more rapidly. "
"Is he my father!" Armando shouts.
Something in the way your father laid limp in Armando's graps, the fire and smoke building around you all, and the life you once knew just yesterday crumpling around you had you desperate for the truth.
"Tell him!" You shout.
Isabel pays you no mind when she says, "yes."
Three letters.
One word.
That was all it took for your world to shatter.
You had a brother you hadn't known about, a brother who drugged and kidnapped you.
all of his children have his eyes.
A brother your father had behind you and your mother's back.
The realization made your mind splinter, picking up in your chest with each shortened breath you took.
Tears pooled in your eyes, making the scene in front of you blur and sharpen, wax and wane.
It's not until a shout and commotion caused you to dial back in, where you find Isabel pointing the barrel of her gun directly at your chest.
You're too frozen to move and put your hands up to brace yourself for the pain, for death.
But it never comes.
only the sounds of four shots ringing out and blaring in your ears, that's the only sensation you get.
You move your hands from your eyes and find Isabel falling over the balcony to her death and Armando on the floor, his shirt filling with blood as Mike, Marcus, and Rita crowd around him.
It clicks then for you, he took that bullet for you, he stepped in for you against his mother.
This family was dysfunctional as hell.
"Get over here!' your father calls out to you. "Now!"
You scurry over, tearing off your flannel and placing it on Armando's wound.
"We need to get the hell out of here!" Rita shouts.
"Go with Rita!" Mike shouts towards you.
You nod, locking hands with Rita and rushing out of the burning building.
Once outside, you look behind yourself to find Mike and Marcus dragging Armando's body and placing him on the ground, applying pressure to his wounds.
The rain clouds your vision as you draw closer to the van waiting to take you away and back home.
"Is he going to be okay?" You ask, holding your wet and naked arms.
Rita sighs, ushering you into the car. "I don't think that's something you should have to worry about.' She smiles softly. "Get some rest, kid. Okay?"
You nod and shut the door, feeling the car jerk before it pulls off and away from the chaos.
You fasten your seatbelt and lean your head back against the headrest.
Perhaps Rita was right, maybe worrying about Armando wasn't such a good idea. Maybe it was best for you to shove it down and let your dad deal with it, like he did everything.
Because you didn't think your heart could handle any more than what it was already going through. Thinking about Armando, your father, and Isabel...it would only weigh you down more.
So you decided to leave them all at that building that night, to burn up in the flames.
At least you tried to...
Four Years Later
Miami Florida University
"Please tell me you're coming to this party tonight?" Your friend, Kiesha, asked over the phone.
You chuckle, climbing the last flight of stairs to your apartment. Your father, Mike, had got it for you as gift for being in your last year of college.
“I can’t, sorry.’ You place the key code to your apartment and the door unlocks. “Lots of studying to do.” You half-lie.
“Girl, all you do is study. You know college is not actually for school.” You can practically feel her rolling her eyes.
You drop your bags on the counter, pulling out a pack of ramen noodles and starting a pot of boiling water.
“That’s easy to say for someone who’s only half majoring in, what is it, communications?” You comment.
The line goes silent for a minute before Keisha comes back.
“Wow,’ she scoffs. “I get that you’re stressing out with finals and you know, your dad being a fucking fugitive and all, but you don’t have to take it out on me.”
You run a hand through your hair, it getting tangled within your curls towards the end.
“Kiesh,’ you groan.
“Save it. Have fun studying.” She grumbles before hanging up.
“Fuck!’ You shout, turning and tossing your phone down the hallway.
Your grip at your hair and tug slightly, shutting your eyes you feel a hot tear slip out.
It had been a whole week since your father and uncle Marcus were deemed fugitives and accused of doing God knows what. It had been hard for you and Christine.
Knowing your father, you knew the allegations weren’t true, but another cover up, same as Captain Howard.
Still, you know it was bullshit meant nothing to the “adults” in charge. They saw him as guilty, and that seemed to be the end of it.
You turn, wiping away your tears and placing your ramen into the boiling pot of water.
It wasn’t the best, but it was all you could stomach these days, the fear of your family's future causing your appetite to slim.
You twirling the noodles in the water with a pair of chopsticks, watching the five minute timer chime by. It all but captivated you into a trance until a creak against the floor caught your attention.
You turn your head, peering down the hallway you had just thrown your phone. Staring into the darkness, you see a figure moving towards you slowly.
You gasp, grabbing a large knife and holding it out in front of you with shaky hands.
You would call for help, but unfortunately your phone was in harms way.
“Don’t come any closer,’ you squeak.
The figure doesn’t respond, it just trudges closer and closer to you until it’s emerged into your kitchen lighting.
At first, you have to squint real hard to make out who it is, but then, when you catch a glimpse of his eyes, so hauntingly like your own, you know who exactly it is.
Your brother, Armando.
You don't drop the knife, keeping it held high as you slowly approach him. You'd seen how vicious he was, and you weren't taking any chances with him.
Closing the space between you two, you could see that he's in full tactical gear, covered in blood.
He takes another step towards you, you step back, before collapsing onto the ground and passing out.
You rush towards his side. “What the hell!” You rip open his vest, finding all kinds of stab wounds and lacerations littering his body. “Armando!” You shake him.
He doesn’t respond, you shake him again, harder this time, and a tiny black book falls out.
You open the book and find your address on one sheet and another sheet addressed to you.
Don’t hate me, babygirl. I’ll explain everything soon, until then, you two lay low.
Be strong for me.
Love, Dad.
You could scream, you could actually fucking scream right now.
No way this motherfucker sends this other motherfucker to your house for you to nurse back to health.
You crumple up your father’s note, chucking it across the room.
Looking down at Armando, you watch the slow rise and fall of his chest as he lay unconscious.
It was obvious he was loosing blood, and you could let him bleed out and pretend you tried everything.
But then again, he saved your life before…and he didn’t even know you.
Guilt tugged in your chest at the thought.
“Fuck.” You breathed, throwing your head back.
You knew what you had to do.
You figured lifting him would be hard, he was bigger than you by a long shot and was basically deadweight.
You tapped him, shook him, slapped him…hard, but nothing woke him up.
Looks like you’d be operating on the floor.
You stood, gathering your curls in a pineapple on your head, and headed to your bathroom.
You grabbed all the first aid kit supplies you could find, fresh clothes, a blanket and pillow, before heading back out to the main part of your apartment.
You slipped on some gloves, cut open his shirt, and began working on his wounds, dressing them and putting on bandages.
Thank God for nursing school and clinicals.
It took you two bowls of ramen, a Celsius, and a whole heck of a lot of bandages and gorilla glue, but you got Armando mostly patched up.
You wiped the sweat of your forehead grabbing the pillow and blankets you’d grabbed.
You gently lifted his head placing the pillow underneath and the blanket on top of him.
Next to his body you placed the fresh clothes, Gatorade, protein bars, and a bottle of water.
When you finally stood, you felt woozy and in need of a shower and sleep yourself.
But before you crept off to take your shower, you stood over Armando, taking in his features.
His dark hair, his smooth skin, his nose, and lips. He looked like a Spanish version of your father and it was freaking you the fuck out, sending a shiver down your spine.
You walked away hoping your father’s explanation was coming soon because, you may have just saved his life on the conscious fact that he’d done the same for you, but he was still dangerous…and who knows what would happen to you when he wakes up.
The next morning, when you wake up, you creep out of your bedroom, peaking to see if Armando had moved at all.
To your surprise, he hadn’t.
You release a heavy sigh, walking over towards his body.
You watch his chest rise and fall, faster than last night.
Good.
At least your dad couldn’t kill you for letting his son die.
You lean in a big closer to Armando, checking out his wounds from a far.
One wound had opened it seemed like.
You turn and grab the gorilla glue and a bandage of your counter.
Completely removing one bandage, you toss it to the side, pinching the skin of his chest while prepping the glue.
You’re just about to glue his would shut again, when his arm shoots up, gripping your wrist.
You scream, falling back on your ass.
Armando’s eyes shoot open and he sits up quick in a panic.
You crawl backwards, away from him, bumping into the cabinet .
Armando groans, rubbing his sore torso and arms.
His eyes skate across the room before they find yours.
He jumps back a little. “¿Qué diablos me hiciste?”
You swallow, holding your knees. “I don’t speak Spanish.”
Armandos eyes widen then narrow. “Did you do this to me?” He says, accessing his bandages.
You hesitate to tell him the truth…would he be mad and hurt you again?
Armando must sense the hesitation. “I’m not going to hurt you,’ he groans, slowly standing up. “It’s just a question.”
You nod, backing away from him. “Yes…I did.”
Armando swipes up the bottle of water, chugging it, tossing it aside, and then going for the Gatorade. “Gracias.” He grumbles, heading towards your bathroom.
You stand, slowly following after him, still keeping some distance between you two.
Armando peers over his should, eyebrow raised. “Mike sent me, if you’re wondering.”
“I know.”
“I don’t want to be here as much as you don’t want me here.”
“I never said that.” You clarify, even though he’s not wrong.
“Don’t need to.”
You frown. “Armand—,”
He slams the door shut.
“Great.” You roll your eyes. “Just fucking great.”
You slam your head against the wall, thinking off all the ways you would tell your dad off when you saw him next. But until then, it seemed you and Armando would be roommates.
So you should try and be cordial, right?

Thinking about Nicky being openly and loudly gay while Kevin's all, 'it's easier to be straight if you want to play exy' and wondering if anyone has actually given him shit for being an openly gay athlete in class I collegiate exy. AFTG does seem to be set in a universe where homophobia exists and seems fairly common but maybe Kevin's just wrong. Or maybe (and I think this is a funnier interpretation), Nicky gets no blow-back for being out and gay because actually no one has noticed he's gay (despite his best efforts) -- in fact, they haven't really noticed Nicky even exists. Kevin and Neil have so thoroughly dominated the public image of the PSU Foxes and what with the news about Aaron killing a guy with a racquet and Andrew breaking Riko's arm on live TV, Nicky is nothing but a number on a roster in the public's eye. He could probably stroll into the middle of a court after a game, kiss a dude and proclaim to the world he's here and he's queer and everyone would just be like, "who the fuck is that? ANYWAY did you hear about that crazy rumour about Jean Moreau?"

I love the idea that Barty outwardly hates Sirius more than regulus does despite clearly not having a personal reason to. Liek regulus has a complicated relationship with his feelings toward his brother, it’s a bridge between love and hate that he crosses frequently and would rather just not address while Barty is just all in on the hate. He brings up killing Sirius as a cute date idea like once a week. He boos when people cheer at marauders pranks. He relishes in the glares Sirius sends the skittles’ way and like bows and blows kisses when he receives them while regulus has to like elbow him to get him to stop.
But he is absolutely dead ass in the hate though. He frames it like it’s a joke but it’s really not. He personally doesn’t understand why Regulus’ feelings are mixed up because if it were him he would just be mad. In his mind, Regulus doenst hate his brother at all because how could he with how much he still cares. And he doesn’t get that. So he takes on the responsibility of hating Sirius enough for both of them. It’s a labor of love, that he just has fun with.

concept: in an alternate universe where the three princes arrive in rhodolite after emma leaves, five years after chevalier's coronation, silvio ricci—"mr. secretly a caring brother"—decides to take a stroll around the capital to clear his mind.
he's been trying to find valerio for ages, and he'd briefly thought that maybe his brother is still in rhodolite, but for whatever reason, he can't seem to get any leads. after making the questionable decision to drink, he ends up wandering into the bustling markets of the city.
a pair of brothers catches his gaze. the older one is buying the younger one a treat—and really, they can't be too old. silvio has had little interaction with kids, but he'd guess them to be around the early teens. and it makes him think of how he was never able to do anything like that for valerio.
naturally, in the middle of cursing his brother out, he happens to hear a vaguely familiar voice professing his love for some woman named emma. he has to rub his eyes to make sure he's seeing things right and—
yup, blonde hair, blue eyes. an earring. the face of a man he loathes, though not as much as his mother.
and in front of his kneeling self—
a clearly pregnant woman who looks on, with amusement glittering in her brown eyes as she gracefully accepts the offered rose. silvio thinks he might be going insane.
"emma" then proceeds to pull him up and the lady selling flowers giggles about how wonderful it is that they're so in love. the guy from the stall next door hollers about how, since it's rio, it's to be expected.
they leave and silvio does not follow them.
what silvio does do is go back to his room in the castle and punch the wall, unable to figure out how he should feel about the fact that valerio is married with a kid on the way. one thing's for sure though:
emidio must not know.
so, silvio packs up and leaves for benitoite, and in about two years, even those in rhodolite whisper about how the second prince attempted to commit treason—and admitted, in a fit of rage, that he was the one who sent valerio to die.
(for this, the king begrudgingly thanks silvio and offers to make him king. but silvio pretends he hasn't already found valerio and vows to find him.)
then, silvio returns to rhodolite.
and finds out that the child valerio's wife was carrying was their second child, after a brat who happens to be the splitting image of valerio overhears asking about "rio" and "emma".
this kid is nothing less than a blabbermouth. within thirty minutes, silvio's aware of his history and "rio"'s too. he knows that valerio's second born is a girl, that he's disappointed that neither of his two children look like his wife, and that they'll probably not stop at two kids. he knows that the kid's name is elliott, that he's named to match the first letter of his mom's name—it's the same for his sister, who is named rhys, after his dad.
and yet, despite the fact that being armed with this seemingly useless knowledge comorts him, he's too much of a coward to try and approach valerio. after all, emidio's dead. valerio seems happier than he ever was in the benitoite's court. isn't it selfish to drag valerio back solely for silvio's pride?
(a part of him is also jealous of elliot's long list of uncles, who he suspects to be rhodolite's princes—most frequent are nokto, yves, leon, clavis, and luke. sometimes, jin and licht. chevalier, surprisingly, does ask after him and rhys, but never visits. sariel keeps tabs on them, just in case)
so he runs before his sister-in-law arrives to take elliot home.
and rinse and repeat. days bleed into weeks and he's not keen about letting them bleed into months, even if he views elliott as a "second chance."
but he doesn't have to.
valerio comes to him.
apparently, he's seen silvio hanging around his son. his wife is delighted that elliott's made a friend, even if he is older than she'd hoped for, and also a bit concerned about silvio's identity, so she wanted to invite him to dinner.
unfortunately, elliott told rio about how silvio once told him to cherish and protect his sister. he said that he couldn't protect his brother from getting hurt, and that he hopes valerio is happy.
the names are what tipped rio off.
there was other identifying information too, but rio already had his memories. the names were all he needed.
you see, he'd started having an inkling of his identity when emma was belle. he'd been pouring over some texts about benitoite and he thought some of it felt strangely familiar. but he kept those thoughts hidden because he was afraid of letting emma know. it was when emidio was arrested that his memoried fully started coming back.
[we now take a brief intermission to talk about how rio married the love of his life:
emma, whilst fretting over her uncontrollable feelings, is looking at the "engagement ring". rio comes in, and for a moment, they simply stare at each other.
then rio correctly guesses that this is something he had on him before. emma confides in him that she thinks it's an engagement ring, which causes rio to realize why she would push him away.
he tells her that he has no interest in returning home. he wanted to die, after all. it's likely nothing was waiting for him. and, if it is an engagement ring, he probably bought it because he knew he'd be meeting the love of his life soon (this makes her hit him on the shoulder). rio thinks he likely wasn't engaged at all.
this causes emma to decide that she wants to be selfish, even if it means living with that kind of guilt.
the rest is history.]
rio: "i really don't want you to meet emma...what if you fall in love with her? she's so pretty, i can see it happening."
silvio: "huh? why would—"
rio: "...but i need someone to testify that i wasn't engaged before i lost my memories. i didn't have a lover either. my wife's been holding onto this misconception, so i want to clear it up immediately."
silvio takes it for the olive branch it is. everyone and their grandmothers know that he's been searching for valerio. it's really no surprise that rio would realize his intentions.
the next night, he joins rio and his family for dinner. silvio brings flowers for emma and gifts for each of the munchkins, and for rio, he shoves a bottle of wine at him. his reddened ears don't have the luxury of returning to normal because elliott starts pointing out how his ears are super red. they have an enjoyable dinner, after which emma reintroduces herself as his sister-in-law and they confirm that they'll hold off on telling elliott, like silvio wants them to.
silvio is a coward though, so he tells elliott on literally the last day of his stay in rhodolite. elliott makes him promise to come back soon, and rio and emma, who are there to pick elliott up, reveal that they might go visit silvio instead.
[this is because someone manages to spill silvio's secret to the king. which means rio would need to establish himself to better protect his family.]
