#rip Wally part 2

[stitchedragdoll]

*WL Wally clearly scary and in love at the same time having never seen such a scary Julie before*

* leaving because I can't formulate a logical thought with my 2 neurons *

Creator note : I don't rp with this account, but I can sometimes answer to mini comics or interactions ( like if it's just your character saying hi, I can't make Stitcher answer, but in cases like this ask I can cause there's some form of interaction/action ( idk if the nuance is clear) and I found the idea funny anyway)

A/N: The Doors title. Hey ya'll. I cannot believe the love I've been getting on this page, and it's driving me past my writer's block more than anything. With school starting, I can feel the academic anxiety kicking in, but I use my writing as a coping method when I can. This story has very intense topics (as stated in the tags) and is not meant to idealize any topics in any way. This was inspired by @general-fanfiction's Hopes and Fears series (GO READ IT RN), and @whoopsyeahokay's October Sun series (ALSO GO READ IT RN). If this story is well received, or I just feel the urge to, I'll probably turn it into a series (bc this sucks as a one-shot). As always, please heed the warnings, and read only if you're comfortable.

Blood was everywhere.

It slid down your legs and dribbled onto the cold floor of the locker room. Every inch of your skin felt like it was too tight for your bones, and all you wanted to do was reach down your throat and rip out your heart.

Copper flooded your mouth. The tang brushed against the back of your chattering teeth, and all you could think about was how you wanted to crawl to the nearby shower and let it run until one of the coaches found you and dragged you out.

It wasn’t supposed to be like this.

Move. You told yourself. All of your limbs ached. Nothing felt real.

You didn’t want this to be real.

It was supposed to be kind. Gentle. An act out of pure love.

Standing up proved to be hard, and it was like no one was able to hear you screaming out for help. Filtered out by the people flooding the halls, hustling to the big homecoming game going on that night.

The tiled walls provided little help as you brought yourself to a standing position, walking slowly as you felt your feet brush against the pile of your shoes, pants, and underwear on the floor. The touch stopped your heart, breaking a new tier of hate and regret across your body.

He said he loved me.

You turned on the shower, cranking the knob to the hottest setting, knowing that the water wouldn’t get anywhere near warm. Water slid harshly over your body, and you felt it pelt against spots of dried blood on your thighs.

You wished you never come to this stupid football game.

You wished you weren’t as ignorant, or as gullible, or as love-blind as you had been in the past three months.

You wished you never met him.

His face felt bitter and sharp in your head, poking and prodding, as if trying to stick the memory of his hands on you for eternity.

Time passed irregularly, no one came in or out of the locker room, and you were sure that the football game had to have reached its end by all of the cheering and yelling you heard outside.

After using all of the hot water in the gym wing, you slowly walked to the lines of lockers, trying even glimpsing in the direction of your clothes. tried to open every locker until one popped open, revealing a pair of grey sweatpants, a sweatshirt, a muscle tank, blue gym shorts, and a matching varsity jacket with #57 stitched on the arm.

You grabbed the matching sweatsuit, balling it in your arms and silently apologizing to the boy you’d never return the clothing to.

He probably won’t even notice, you told yourself.

You turned the corner around a line of lockers and you could swear you were going crazy. A bare foot poked out from behind the last line of lockers, limply tilted against your pile of clothes, painted a chipped wine red.

You blinked hard, looking down at your own chipped wine-red toes, and you clutched the clothing you stole to your naked body. The cotton was soft compared to the cold tile bracing against your feet, and you brought your eyes to look back to the pile of clothing on the floor.

Bile pooled at the back of your mouth as you hesitantly stepped closer to the foot that hadn’t disappeared. You’re going crazy, you told yourself, but the more and more you stared at the limp, pale body - your limp, pale body - whose features were more of a brutal mass than a face, the less it was going away.

You barely made it past the urinals and into an open stall before you dry-heaved into a toilet.

You were dead.

You couldn’t be.

As you zipped up the stolen hoodie and sweatpants, you tried to remember it all. Kissing under the bleachers before the game, him asking you to come with him while he grabbed something from his gym locker.

Every agonizing second you asked him to stop, to stop pressing you into the lockers because one of the locks was digging into your back; his decrepit hands sliding at your waistline, pushing and prodding past the fabric of your clothes.

Nothing would come up from your stomach.

Could ghosts vomit? You asked yourself, slowly standing to your feet and walking back over to your dead body.

Conversations started to flood the hallway, every muscle in your body coming briefly to attention before you flew out the door and screamed into the rushing crowd of students.

“Hello?” You called out, reaching your arm into the crowd, only to watch it get run through like something out of Star Wars.

Your body became hot, and even though you knew deep down that no one could see you, you pushed your tears back down your choking throat and felt your cheeks heat up with shame.

You walked into the crowd, who was thinning out the further you got from the hallway. Your body tensed for a moment, seeing the lights of police cars and ambulances pulling up to the school. Expecting to see the paramedics rushing toward your body, you waited for them to split the crowd, to start heading toward the school, but they were bolting the other way.

Straight toward the football field.

This school has to be fucking cursed.

One of the players was splayed out on the field, his head gently being lifted as paramedics were tugging his helmet off his head. The football team from whatever school yours was playing against was sitting on the bench, whispering and pointing to another one of their players who was talking to a police officer further down the field.

57.

The number sewn on the jacket hanging among the clothes you stole stood out against the dark blue of the player’s helmet. People gasped and a woman cried out as the paramedic set the helmet aside, revealing the face of the school’s resident golden boy; a dark bruise crawled up his neck, and his mouth guard slid between his lips as his limp head hung unnaturally over his shoulder.

You walked closer, straight through the forming line of police officers, and looked into the field. At the edge of the bleachers, waving his arms around and yelling into a silent group of people, stood Wally Clark.

Wally Clark is dead.

Just like I am.

You took off running, the activity coming easier to you when you were alive.

Alive.

“Wally!” You called out, and the football player snapped his body to your voice, his eyes wide and seeming relieved that someone was talking to him.

You stopped, resting your hands on your hips as he hopped down from the bleachers.

“What’s happening? Why- why is no one talking to me? What did I do?” He asked, skipping the formalities. He came to stand on the field before you, the football gear he was wearing sending a rush of debilitating shame through your body.

You faltered for a moment, his face flashing in your eyes before you rubbed your face back to reality.

“You didn’t do anything, Wally.” You managed to push out, pushing your eyes anywhere but on him.

“Then what is happening? I feel like I’m going crazy, one minute I’m running with the ball, and boom- I’m at the bleachers, trying to get my mother to talk to me and she won’t even look up at me. I know she’s pissed at me about going on the bench, but I mean I got back in the game, and now I’m guessing coach is pissed at me on insisting to get back in and-”

“You’re dead.” You cut off his rambling, forcing yourself to meet his face without looking away after a second, “I mean, I think we’re both dead.”

First, he smiled. Like what you said was some kind of joke. After you said nothing, he started toward the sidewalk, where his mother was now alongside a stretcher being lifted into an ambulance. You could see the tears on her face from where you were, each step you followed Wally, the easier it was to see her sorrow.

Then, as he was following his mother, he suddenly was gone, like he was plucked off the Earth by God himself.

That was until you turned to see him standing on the football field, right where his body was previously lying, tugging at the roots of his hair.

You hovered your foot, leveraging that if you stood on the sidewalk, you would be slingshotted back to the men’s locker room.

You decided to trust your gut and instead talked to Wally.

“I can’t be dead, I mean, that would mean you’re dead, and I literally saw you in the hallway this morning,” Wally said as he paced in a small area before you, “and I know for sure that I saw you because you were hanging around Dalton’s locker, which was weird because everyone on the team thought he had some college girl or something he was hanging out with-”

You didn’t register some of the words he was saying, instead you tried to control your thoughts from ripping you back to your last moments on earth at his name.

“-I mean, do you even know how crazy this sounds?”

You took in a shaky breath, wiping your hands over your face to poorly conceal any emotions that unwillingly spread onto your features, “Yeah, but that’s the thing, Wally. I am dead.”

Saying you were dead for the first time out loud was a lot heavier than you thought it would be.

You’re pretty sure that if the insanity of Wally being killed hadn’t overridden your brain, you would be somewhere huddled up and screaming for some greater power to give you eternal rest.

“What? That’s not possible, I mean, the people you were here with would’ve noticed you were gone. Dalton would’ve noticed you were gone.”

You didn’t want to give his name as much power as you did, but your body tightened up hearing it. You didn’t correct him, instead opting to stare at the dark woods on the far end of the field, your eyes burning once more.

“Y/N,” you were a little surprised that he knew your name, and even more when he stood in front of you with the most gentle expression you’d ever seen, “what happened after school? How did you die?”

ADMIN'S STRAWPAGE

[gffa]

It has been a whole entire week since I posted my previous set of recs and guess who is still hip deep in BATFAMILY fic and really wants to cry about feelings about all the Bats and Birds, but most especially my beloved Dick Grayson? I enjoy fic of all the characters, there should hopefully be something for most fans here, I eventually spread my wings a bit (ha ha) through the fandom, but absolutely I feel I should warn you all that I play favorites and I’m not subtle about it. In my defense he’s really annoying in the most delightful way, how could I not love him the most? So, here, have week #2’s recs where I dump 60+ more fics on you because this fandom is on fucking fire with how good it is and how much I love everyone here. God bless fic writers, you are all doing the lord’s work of giving me three novels worth a week to read and knocking it out of the park while you do it. BATFAM FIC RECS - BABY DICK IS THE CUTEST FERAL ROBIN I’M NOT HEARING ANY ARGUMENTS: ✦ The Painful Truth by RascalJoy (DarkQuill), dick & bruce & wally & artemis & m'gann & conner & dinah, 6.2k      In a mission gone wrong, Robin finds himself being forcefully interrogated under…influence. “Now, you’re probably wondering why we haven’t just yanked your mask off and been done with this whole thing, hmm? It’s because this way is so much more fun.” ✦ a home not yet a home by Mayarenerose, dick & bruce, 1.1k      Dick just likes climbing to the roof sometimes. He doesn’t mean anything by it. He doesn’t. He just needs to be high up sometimes. He likes looking at the stars. Stars are hard to come by in the city and you need to be high up to even see them properly. ✦ Friends That Say (You’re Not Alone) by ProsperDemeter, dick & bruce & alfred & clark, 3.5k      Richard. The kid. Richard Grayson. Clark didn’t feel ready to meet the child that Bruce took in. What if he was a mini-Bruce? What in the world would Clark do then? ✦ Taking Flight: A Tragicomedy in Four Acts by WingFeathers, dick & bruce & alfred & clark, 48.7k      John and Mary Grayson die; Dick becomes Robin. This is everything that happens in between, a/k/a, how Gotham City ripped one family and identity from Dick and gave him another. An origin story in the Rebirth spirit, weaving together threads from Tec #40, Dark Victory, Robin: Year One, New 52, and more. ✦ Motion Sickness by Arwriter, dick & bruce & cast, 4.2k      A routine patrol is interrupted when Robin realizes he’s being followed. There’s no attack, no ambush, no weapons drawn. Dick doesn’t understand what this man wants, or why his gentle touch hurts so bad. But Batman seems to know, and Dick just wants someone to tell him what he did wrong. ✦ do as I say (not as I do) by daringyounggrayson, dick & bruce, 1.1k      “Don’t be mad.” Bruce has been raising Dick long enough to know that that sentence never bodes well. Especially when it’s the first thing to pop out of the twelve-year-old’s mouth when Bruce answers the phone. ✦ Burn Rubber by HoodEx, dick & bruce & roy, 3.5k      Roy couldn’t help but feel out of place like his presence was keeping Bruce from acting like himself. Whatever “himself” looked like. Bruce had always been a bit of a cold asshole anytime Roy had been around him. Even when Bruce talked to Dick, there was a barrier there that made their conversations seem strictly business. Some part of Roy had always wondered if Bruce was the same way with Dick at home. For Dick’s sake, he sure hoped not. OR the one where Roy gets to see Bruce act like a dad. Also, there are cars. Lots of cars. ✦ Surprise, You’re Adopted by CamsthiSky, dick & bruce, 1.8k      Dick gets kidnapped. Bruce gets worried. Things turn out alright in the end, though. ✦ without you i am surely the last of my kind by nosecoffee, dick & bruce & clark & j'onn, 6.6k      (Bruce Wayne also knows how it feels to be a scared little boy who just watched his parents die, telepathic mind meddling aside, and has had his eyes fixed on Dick Grayson since his parents fell, so of course he’s going to get him. It’s all he can do.) (Or, Dick Grayson is a traumatised alien empath with bad timing, and Bruce Wayne still needs to learn how to verbalise his emotions.) ✦ The Bone Road by scpnightwing, dick & bruce & alfred, 63.8k wip      By night, Robin was his partner in crime, but once the sun rose, all Dick could be was a mirror of his tragedy, haunting his halls and asking for more than Bruce had in him to give. (The early days of Batman and Robin, and the many mistakes therein) BATFAM FIC RECS - EVERYBODY LOVES DICK: ✦ The Shape Of You (Was Jagged And Weak) by WinterSky101, dick & bruce & jason & tim & slade & cast, 40.6k      Six months ago, Nightwing died. They never found the body. Last week, Deathstroke arrived in Gotham. He brought a partner with him. ✦ We Were Built to Fall Apart by CamsthiSky, dick & bruce & tim, 1.2k      Dick is hurt, tired, and ready to let go. Bruce doesn’t seem to be ready to let him. ✦ It’s a Wonderful Earth-218 by BeatriceEagle, dick & bruce & past dick/babs & cast, 7.4k      As Blüdhaven burns, Dick makes a wish that he’d never been born. He wakes up in a world where that’s true, being followed around by a supervillain who just really wants to get back to taking over the world. ✦ the higher fidelity by birdsofthesoul, dick & bruce & damian, 3.6k      Bruce goes sheet-white, looking like Dick’s just cut him to the quick, and Dick can’t help but think they should have booked a flight, discretion be damned. This — this is why they don’t do road trips. Cars are like confessionals, cramped spaces built for coercing confessions, and neither of them are good with words. ✦ Theory of Relativity by CamsthiSky, dick & bruce & jason & cast, de-aged!dick, 2.2k wip      In which Dick Grayson gets de-aged and everybody freaks out ✦ hold the fort (for i am coming) by deargalileo, dick & bruce & jason & tim & duke, de-aged!dick, 3.6k      Jason’s jaw dropped. The tiny human child toddled in front of him, gripping at his pant legs. Automatically, he bent his knees slightly. The child lost its grip, and fell flat onto its ass. They both froze. The child’s mouth opened and closed soundlessly. “No no no, don’t cry,” Jason rushed out. He leaned down and scooped the child into his arms. “Don’t cry, okay?” The child grabbed onto his shoulder as Jason settled it (him?) onto his upper hip. Big, blue eyes blinked up at him, shining with unshed tears. When the fuck did B have the time to adopt a new kid? ✦ There’s Always Another One by lapsedpacifist, dick & hal (& bruce), 2.5k      After Bruce kicked Dick out, there was a very particular place Dick decided to visit. Well, visit, hide in, it was all one and the same. He could do it without Bruce! Just a shame Hal was finished with his assignment a week earlier than anticipated. ✦ The True Sons of Batman by PandasandDucks13, dick & bruce & damian & jason & talia & cast, 10.8k      What if Dick Grayson was Bruce Wayne’s biological son? ✦ Hey! He Attempted a Coup! by PandasandDucks13, dick & bruce & clark & justice league & zod, 3.1k      What if Dick Grayson was a Kryptonian? ✦ Unsteady by 60sec400, dick & bruce & jason & tim & damian & barbara & cast, 14.8k      Nightwing is 22 when he’s hit by, well, something. They haven’t actually figured that out yet. But now he’s ten years old and a child and Damian struggles to see the man who he had looked to as a father forget who he ever was. De-aged fic. AU. BATFAM FIC RECS - DICK AND DAMIAN WERE THE BEST BATMAN & ROBIN, I’M NOT HEARING ARGUMENTS ABOUT THAT EITHER: ✦ Mirage (What I See In You) by SilverSkiesAtMidnight, dick & damian, 3.4k      Grayson’s gaze flicks upwards to meet his, and suddenly his expression softens. He smiles. “It’s okay,” he says, the movement of his lips clear even if his voice sounds like it’s coming through a broken radio. Suddenly, he’s pressing a rebreather to Damian’s face. His own rebreather, whole and unbroken. ✦ The Dog Days Are Done by fishfingersandjellybabies, dick & damian & cast, 3k      Dick is a good guy. He is. He knows that. Just like he knows that bribing your wayward, animal-loving, emotionally-traumatized brother to come see you with a puppy is exactly what all good guys do. That was a fact. ✦ To the Moon by theLiterator, dick & damian, 9k      A newly resurrected Damian Wayne does not believe Dick Grayson is dead. Spyral has been quietly helping to deal with the aftermath of Leviathan’s reign of terror and is wary of clones. Dick Grayson does not believe Damian Wayne is alive. (Together they fight crime, but’s always been true, hasn’t it?) ✦ Redemption Lies Plainly in Truth by SilverSkiesAtMidnight, dick & damian, 6.2k      Damian tries to pull his wrist out of his grasp. Any other time, Dick would let him go without hesitation, always careful to make sure his personal space is respected. This time, he catches his other wrist as well, gentle but firm as he crouches down to make eye contact. “Hey,” he says, smiling gently. “Do you trust me?” ✦ whether you’re high or low by Anonymous, dick & damian & jason, 1.9k      Dick’s first visit back to Gotham in a while ends with a shattered TV screen and more questions than answers for Damian and Jason. ✦ wrap myself in a thin sheet of ice by emavee, dick & damian, 3.3k      Damian falls victim to a witch’s curse, giving him a week to live before his heart turns to ice. There is a cure, but there’s no way someone like Damian would ever receive a kiss of true love. ✦ as love carries its strength, but not its labels by AlterHarpia, dick & damian, 2.7k      Bruce is on a trip beyond Earth’s Solar System for longer than he intended, making Dick and Damian fall into an old pattern. “I’m not Batman.” A mere reminder, perhaps, but when said to Damian it always sounds like an apology. BATFAM FIC RECS - BATKIDS ALL HAVE MANY SIBLINGS AND THEY’RE ALL PETTY ASSHOLES AND/OR WONDERFUL BABIES AND I LOVE THEM WITH MY WHOLE BEING: ✦ Say Uncle by Megaerakles, tim & jason & bruce & dick & steph & cast, 46.3k      Tim is prepared to take the steps necessary to ensure that Bruce will not feel obligated to adopt Tim when a comatose Jack Drake inevitably dies. But what could be better than preventing Bruce from ending up with a son he doesn’t want? Bringing back the one he does. Jason agrees to the Replacement’s stupid, stupid plan to invite some strange adult man he’s never met to come live with him, if only to keep the idiot alive long enough for him to serve his purpose in the Great Red Hood Revenge Scheme. Might this new roommate situation have an impact on either of their worldviews? Surely not… ✦ Ain’t No Compass, Ain’t No Map by ebjameston, tim & jason & dick & cast, outsider pov, 51.8k      A CPS agent gets sent to investigate a tip that Tim Drake has been abandoned by his parents and is living with the Red Hood. The CPS agent leaves with no Tim Drake, a date with Red Hood’s lieutenant, and an intern who’s promising to fix the IT systems at his office. It’s a weird day for Theo. ✦ The Longer You Stay by emiv, bruce/selina & dick & jason & tim, 64.3k      Bruce Wayne was never meant to be part of Selina’s clean slate. Then again, neither were a circus boy, a street rat or a rich kid. For a girl who didn’t like strings, Selina found herself getting attached. ✦ Falling, Catching by Freezer7, dick & jason/roy, 4k      The call comes in at two thirty-four am, on Dick’s first night off in three weeks. ✦ Piñata by Maximum_Quinn, bruce & dick & jason & tim & cass & steph & duke, 2.2k      “I found… something weird today.” “Weird how?” “I was checking out that half-destroyed apartment building today, and there was, like… papier-mâché everywhere? In Robin colors.” (Duke learns about an odd tradition between the Bats and the Rogues.) ✦ Five Times Dick Was Tim’s Safety Net and One Time Tim Was Dick’s by PrinceJakeFireCake, dick & tim, 5.2k      “Tim forced his gaze away from his phone, took a moment to breathe deeply, then tried to figure out the best way not to die anytime soon. For Bruce. For Alfred. For his friends. For Dick.” Dick has always been there for Tim, even before they knew each other. ✦ wet teeth, shining eyes, glimmering by a fire (who will i be tonight?) by lifetimeoflaughter, dick & jason & cast, 2.3k      They’re standing on a rooftop. It’s not very high up; only about ten floors, give or take. The moon isn’t out tonight. It’s dark. It’s too dark to tell if it’s blood that’s dripping from Jason’s gloved fists. ✦ smeared with oil (like david’s boy) by call_me_steve, bruce & dick & tim & damian, de-aged!damian, 2.1k      Dick’s leaning over the edge of the couch, watching a tired Bruce stare lovingly down at the baby cradled in his arms. The baby’s swaddled in soft green blankets, probably procured by Alfred at some point or another. It’s hard to believe that this is actually Damian- Damian, and his big, bright, brown eyes; his soft, baby hair; his pudgy cheeks and small fingers. Clear of a snarl and frown and, instead, reduced to soft babbles and the occasional giggle. In his chest, Dick’s heart flutters. He feels his breath stop for all of a moment- God, this kid already has him wrapped around his finger. “Can I hold him?” ✦ There in the Sudden Blackness by CamsthiSky, dick & tim & damian, 1.7k      Tim and Dick argue, and at the end, Tim’s not actually sure if either of them actually won. ✦ The Mechanics of a Hug by incogneat_oh, dick & tim & damian & bruce, 4.1k      “So,” Tim ventures. “It's… what, a cuddle pollen?” Bruce just shrugs. “Something like that.” ✦ Taking Care of Business by Nokomis, dick & tim, 1.7k      Tim (only somewhat reluctantly) accompanies Dick on an undercover mission at an Elvis convention. ✦ where were you when I was king in this part of town? by Cerusee, dick & jason & bruce, 4k      The teen sitting next to him had mostly polished off his pork noodles, and he was eyeing Nightwing’s. Nightwing handed them over without a word. “Why,” he said, more to himself than the kid, “why, oh, why do I feel like I know you?” Because you do, came the unbidden thought. ✦ head in the clouds by Alienu, dick & jason & tim & damian, 4.7k      “Hey,” Tim says out of the blue. “Has anyone ever noticed that Damian has, like, weirdly sharp canines?” Dick makes a face. “What?” he asks. Then seems to think about it a little more, and says, “Oh, I mean… kind of? I don’t really pay attention to his teeth.” He turns to Damian. “Robin, let me see your teeth.” The kid growls. “I’m not afraid to bite you, Nightwing.” “Furry,” Jason coughs. Damian throws a batarang at him. ✦ A little more heart and soul by ruesyblues, dick & jason & damian, 2k      What do you do when the brother you raised and loved and left now seems to be withdrawing and you want the best for him but you’re not sure if you did the right thing and oh fuck what if you made a mistake?? (Dick wants Damian to be happy. He just has no clue how to accomplish that.) ✦ To Reconcile by CasualDanger, dick & jason, 2.4k      “Babs slapped me at your funeral.” Jason goes to laugh, but it’s just a cough and his mouth barely even twitches up. “She hated me in that moment. I mean, really, really hated me, like I did Talia after I found out Damian had died. And I wondered,” his voice cracks, eyes glassy now, “did you hate anyone when I was gone? Because I was gone?” ✦ damian clone triplets!!! by drakefeathers, dick & bruce & damian, 2.1k      Bruce finds and rescues three baby Damian clones~!!! babies~!! ✦ fear toxin (◡‿◡✿) by drakefeathers, dick & bruce & jason & tim & cass & steph & damian & alfred, 3.6k      six drabbles about batkids crying and screaming after being dosed with scarecrow’s fear gas~ (⊙‿⊙✿) ✦ Two Birds, One Stone(d) by MichaBerry, tim(/kon) & bruce & dick & jason & alfred, 5.8k      After a drugs bust gone sideways, Tim is a very high little bird. Cue shenanigans and family bonding. BATFAM FIC RECS - I WILL DIE ON THE HILL THAT TIM DRAKE’S TRUE LOVE INTEREST IS CONNER KENT AND NOBODY CAN STOP ME, NOT EVEN GOD: ✦ Trust fall by Ididloveyou_once, tim/kon & damian/jon & dick & jason & bruce & cast, nsfw, 22.4k      Damian was… here. At Kent Farm. Dressed in the too-big Batman pajamas that Dick had bought him last Christmas as a joke. And- And- Tim was wearing Kon’s t-shirt and his hair was messy and his lips were swollen and- He wasn’t ready for this- He wasn’t- He couldn’t- BATFAM FIC RECS - TAKE THE ANGST DIAL, TURN IT UP TO ELEVEN, AND BREAK THE KNOB OFF, THAT’S WHAT I’M HERE FOR: ✦ Hard Truths and Other Realities by CKBookish, dick & bruce & jason & clark & wally & cast, 113.6k wip      Clark shifted his weight making the floorboards creak and groan under his feet. “Dick I hate to see you–” He paused searching for the right word. Dick snorted. “Wallow?” Clark sighed. “That’s not what I was going to say.” “I know. I can go to the barn and hang out there if I’m bothering you and Lois.” Dick pushed himself up.

One thing I had to do for Back to the Finale: Part III was figure out the state of the Waverider in-story and the biggest part of that was tracking how the rooms changed owners over the years.

It got so confusing that I physically had to map it out and I wanted to share for anyone else who might need it.

The basics: The Waverider has 8 presumably identical rooms that were then modified by Jax and Rip before season 2.

The boxes around the names are for where it's not clear who took which room, e.g. Nate could have taken either Snart or Kendra's room.

To sum up:

Mick and Sara were the only ones to stay in their rooms the whole time (unless one of them swiped Rip's at the beginning of season 3)

Astra got Ray's room.

Amaya and Nate took Snart and Kendra's rooms. Then Amaya's went to either Charlie or Mona.

Martin's room went to Leo for a short time and then either Wally or Rip while the other person got Jax's empty room.

After Wally, Rip, and Amaya left one of their rooms went to Charlie, one to Mona, and one was left empty while John chose to sleep in the library. Gary took over the empty room eventually.

Zari 2.0 got Mona's room and Spooner got Charlie's.

Devilish handsome singer part 4

Pairing: Mafia leader!Waly Darling x Mafia leader singer!Male reader

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7,

Summary: Wally decides to go visit M/n at the wrong time and instead falls more in love while he is punishing a traitor.

Illustrated Mafia Au, picture done by @clownsuu

Extras: wrote a little bit in Spanish but do use translation if you don't understand, some gore mentions and Mario and Gepeto ain't happening because I live Gepeto to much to leave him be with Mario- you'll see Gepeto's future boy in the next part!

Wally hasn't been able to get M/n out of his head since that talk they had at his house when he broke in to see him but M/n seemed more amused than anything which is a good sign... Right?

"Howdy, I need you to take me to Gepeto's...," said Wally and Howdy nodded not daring to question it. As they were driving to their destination Wally's mind drifted back to how their conversation finished.

"Well Mr. Darling I believe you should go porque aunque seas una muy atractiva visual I see no need for you to stay longer," said M/n making Wally scrunch his face in confusion.

"I don't know spanish," said Wally making M/n laugh softly while opening the door and when Wally stepped outside M/n said a soft "letting a ""I know" fly around the air before closing the door of his house leaving Wally puzzled.

"Sir, we are here, should I keep the car running?," Said Howdy snapping Wally out of his thoughts before nodding while getting out the car. He entered the bar to see M/n sitting in a table wearing some black dress pants with a navy blue silk shirt that was tight on his figure. All the staff was standing around him in a circle and he laughed.

"Mario, Mario, Mario... I remember when I picked you off the street, made you part of this family and I believe everyone remembers what happened to Selene, right? Giselle can you please remind Mr. Genapetti what happened to Maria since he doesn't seem to remember?," Said M/n with a kind voice but his eyes held no kindness in fact his eyes didn't show any emotion but rage in them. Giselle Shaked like a leaf but took a deep breath before talking.

"You ripped out her vocal cords and after a week you decided to hang her on the street lamp as an example for us," said Giselle shakily making M/n clap his hands in a "proud" way as if she had passed a test.

"Good memory Giselle, I indeed did that to stupid Selene! Now Mario, do you think you deserve such punishment for giving Mr. Darling my address and for trying to sell me to multiple businesses partners?," Asked M/n while lifting with his shoe Mario face that had multiple tears running down it. Mario softly said "give me one more chance... I won't let you down again" which made M/n chuckle before kicking Mario's face.

"Your lucky that you are dating Slevia because she is the only reason why I'm giving you a second chance... don't become a Selene, understood Mr. Genapetti?," Said M/n making Mario scramble to his feet towards Gepeto who hugged him. Wally was still at the entrance with a cherry red color in his cheeks at the scene he had witnessed, Wally got off the bar and went back to his car which made Howdy drive away from the bar.

Part 5? Will be made so let me know if you want to be added to the tag list!

Todays rip: 10/02/2024

Nostalgic Blood of the Gregg ~ Old Source

Season 5 Featured on: Bloodstained Bounties ~ The SiIvaGunner All​-​Star Summer Festival 2021 Collection [Event Side]

Ripped by minindo

Way early into the blog's life, on the 20th of July 2023, I covered the rip Everything Circus - a Season 2 rip featuring one of my all-time favorite channel memes, hhgregg. I didn't cover all too much on the guy back then beyond the basics: The source was sparingly used in Season 1, then gradually received an uptick in popularity until finally earning himself a full-on channel event in Season 5. Last, we covered a rip from before this uptick - now, I think its only fair we tackle one that shows the fruits of that initiative.

The hhgregg meme was one of many that I only discovered through SiIvaGunner, yet it was far from the first to actually popularize it: HydroDalek's "doin" YTPMV was uploaded a year prior to SiIvaGunner's premiere, and sits at a 1.5 million views as of writing, and is of course paired with the excellent remix "ReDoin" by JerryTerry, made two years later, sitting at 2.4 million. hhgregg's infamous attempt at creating a memorable mascot for their brand seemed to at first be met with nothing more than annoyance, only for a subset of internet users to slowly mutate feelings into feelings of...affection, I suppose. Either way, as someone entirely out of the loop on all things relating to American retailers, that affection definitely rubbed off on me - after just being exposed to a small handful of rips, and then later being led to the rabbithole of YTPMVs dating back to 2014, I was hooked on the guy.

And its not something I believe I can put quite so easily into words, either, beyond pointing you to a rip like Nostalgic Blood of the Gregg ~ Old Source for a direct demonstration. Wally Wingert is an excellent actor and performer in perhaps everything BUT his role as singing for hhgregg's Christmas sales of the summer season - yet YTPMVers throughout the last decade have been able to put those vocals, and vocals from the hhgregg mascot's entire television career, to incredible use. It's almost comparable to PSY in what I wrote about him in Korean Idiot - manipulation of hhgregg's distinctively nasally, yet self-assured voice has effectively become an instrument all of its own.

Pair that with the hyperactive yet constantly rhythmic and engaging flow of much of Touhou's music, Nostalgic Blood of the East ~ Old World not excluded, and you get something truly special. Yet the crazy thing is, Nostalgic Blood of the Gregg ~ Old Source was but one of several other incredible rips utilizing the source during Season 5. It was, after all, his long-overdue event - the long-awaited Christmas in July - and the amount of rips that went completely above and beyond just as Nostalgic Blood of the Gregg ~ Old Source did was absolutely remarkable. Speaking as someone who used to get hyped up back during the early days of seeing...what, the fourth or fifth ever hhgregg rip be uploaded? It did genuinely bring me so much excitement to finally see the most underrated SiIvaGunner source get the spotlight all to himself. hhgregg is, in all honesty, an oft-overlooked titan of recent YTPMV culture, a shining example of just how far some crazy cool people are able to take a series of voice clips that only initially spread online out of distaste.

Though I lack much knowledge on Touhou, and I wasn't really able to live through any prior attachment to the hhgregg character as a European myself - the sheer power of good ass YTPMV and minindo's undeniable talent in what he does carries Nostalgic Blood of the Gregg ~ Old Source through. It's an absolute banger using one of my all-time favorite SiIvaGunner sources, and I'm so happy it got to be part of the guy's big event. In a Season already defined by its various side events, hhgregg's long-awaited time in the spotlight is still one of the things I cherish most about Season 5, and the rips that came in tow with that day were absolutely worth the wait.

incomplete au master post + info

this au does talk/contain elements of:

-horror

-body horror

-jumpscares

-stitches

-dismemberment

-eye contact/ scopophobia

-Emetophobia

-gore (yeah they're puppets but still imma put that warning just in case)

Proceed with caution

In this AU the Show was never published, not even done, leaving some puppets to not be complete, sewed with all their details and stuff

Each of the puppets are missing something that was apart of their character

Leaving Wally with no face sewed in - Wally is the face of welcome home. His smile and eyes are iconic. He may not be able to see. But wally can sure hear well. Also home is incomplete and not safe to be in. (Cue, Wally falling through holes in his floor everyday)

Eddie is missing his arms. Bc he uses it to carry packages and things. However he makes up for it with his legs bc he runs/a mailman and relies on his legs to get to designated destinations.

Howdy ...was originally going to be missing most of his arms. I later changed it so he has two heads and more arms. Combining his earlier concepts together instead of taking away. His is technically in a way not missing anything so he doesn't hunt for spare parts.

Barnaby doesn't have a mouth either like Julie. Meaning he can't do jokes. He's morbid and less friendly. He talks via through a puppet that he made from a scrap piece of fabric.

Frank is missing an arm Because he gardens a lot. Frank is frankly far from being complete. On surface level he may seem closer than most to perfection but he lacks the cotton insides like the rest of the neighbors. His love for bugs has unfortunately added into his incompleteness.

Julie tried replacing his bugs with flowers but the bugs ate them

Julie can't speak, because her ability is to talk to flowers. This leads to her being down in the dumps a lot. She doing way better off than her siblings however.

Sally is missing her rays. Making her incomplete and not special. She says in dark areas for the most part.

Poppy doesn't have wings meaning can't bake and hug people (Poppy is probably the most colorful one ngl/pos) she also has rows and rows of SHARP teeth.

this AU IS dangerous to go in, because all the puppets are going a little wacky trying to rip off the limbs they need off of the people that go in

and since one body only has so much on them (that being only one mouth 2 limbs etc...) they all fight with each other to claim the parts

Howdy simply collects parts to sell to the others.

and that's all i have so far

:DDD now that the refs are done I can work on sorry plot!!!!

Special Thanks to: @the-doodle-cave for helping me come up with this au uwu

[torra-and-the-toons]

So I been watching KND since I was kid, I recently got into Jojo's Bizarre Adventures and watching Part 2 of JJBA for the first time was hard to take seriously because THE VOICE OF THE MAIN CHARACTER

WAS NIGEL UNO!! THE SAME VOICE ACTOR I COULDN'T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY- (well I did eventually because it has heart wrenching moments) but the parts where Joseph being hilarious I just go back to imagining him as an adult Nigel Uno xD

Doesn't help that he's British-American too lmao

that's my ask for the week

Haha yea!! I never got into JoJo, but I def saw that! Ben Diskin is in sooo many things. Dude's got TALENT!

at least of the shows I know, he's in Blue Exorcist, Beastars, Naruto, Kill La Kill, One Punch Man to name a few...

he's also in some of my favorite games, Tales of Zesteria and Berseria (the latter one I never finished) Rune Factory 4, Wildstar (RIP that game was fun while the servers were alive 💔) and looks like some fire emblem games too!

It's so funny when you can catch voice actors in other shows when you know them for something else, the one that always catches me off guard is Mr Rob Paulsen. After rewatching animaniacs I started hearing Paulsen's voice EVERYWHERE.

also kind of related but Wally's voice actor is also in a lot of other things including Appa and Momo in Avatar, that's so wild to me lmao.

Mad respect to voice actors, man!

HH

This is HH:

HH is the mascot for the former appliance and electronic store HHGregg. I cannot explain to you but I have been absolutely obsessed with him. I really don't know why, but just something about the ads with him trigger a part of my brain to just inject straight serotonin into it. Now with the Christmas season coming soon I thought it would be appropriate to talk about my favorite part of this guy, the Christmas ads. This is the first ad to talk about, sure it's nothing *really* special but don't worry, we're getting there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4XRprsDe5s

And now here it is, the absolute crown jewel of all HHGregg, the fabled Christmas in July ad https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QJzt8L_i7_U So this ad a lot of you may be familiar with due to it's former status as a ytp icon and it's garnered a lot of attention due to that, and I'll post a link to that down towards the end but right now I just nneedd to talk about HH. I'm not sure why I'm so drawn to the whol obscureness of him, maybe it's some form of early 2010s nostalgia and seeing that era and a mascot for it, maybe it's because it's such an oddball store to be talking about but quite frankly I just love him. One important part of HH history I should touch on are the Silvagunner rips, and as an Evangelion fan it feels doubly important. Silvagunner, about 2 years ago made these 2 rips of A Cruel Angel's Thesis and Komm, Susser Todd. (Yes, I know I spelled it wrong) But the most important thing about these rips is the fact that they're both vocoded to the Christmas in July ad and feature custom videos. To me, I think it just shows how powerful HH is, being able to withstand the test of time, and of course out of any songs being interjected into Evangelion.

A Cruel Angel;s Thesis: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qpru2QoK03k

Komm, Susser Todd: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nT3_DP2Uuw

So where does that bring us? Well I have more media to share and some closing thoughts. Now before ending this post I just want to make people aware HH is not forgotten by everyone, because dedicated fans do still exist (such as myself) and I thought it appropriate to share some of those works here. First off is this blursed HH body pillow, yes it is a real thing and unfortunately no, you cannot purchase it:

Credit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Dakimakuras/comments/14196ml/i_made_images_for_a_dakimakura_of_hhgreggs_mascot/

Another thing is, looking aside the Evangelion rips there are plenty of catchy tunes vocoded to the Christmas in July ad and I feel the need to share them. Radical City from Sonic R: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teOAct6UE3I

Death By Glamour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0nNLsbrSFY

Now's your chance to be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EW5ixQrzLrw

One more thing I need to touch on is HH's VA: Wally WIngert, now I was just going to say he voiced Jon Arbuckle in the Garfield show but actually looking at his imdb is insane, the amount of work in awesome video games and TV he has done is so cool to me especially being in a lot games that I love, and honestly? It makes me happy that somehow, a little but of HH is with us in so many of those properties. Wally's imdb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0935042/

And to close, I want to leave all of you HHGregg fans something, or aspiring fans. This: Compilation of all the HHGregg ads: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWRNFy9Jasg&t=2s

And remember everyone, Price and Advice, Garunteed.

Thank you.

My idea for a potential DEATH BATTLE! #10

2024 jun 22, 25

PREVIOUS POST

Steve vs. Emmet Brickowski

MASTER LIST

Tenya Iida vs. A-Train (My Hero Academia vs. The Boys)

Battle of the superhuman society speedsters!

THUMBNAIL

FIGHTER 1: Tenya Iida, the next Turbo Hero Ingenium.

FIGHTER 2: A-Train, the Seven’s speedy Supe.

Wiz: Time waits for no man, and society maintains a perpetual state of rush hour. There’s always someone to save, something to do.

*insert clips of Sonic X’s “Gotta Go Fast” and its cop chase scene from Episode 1, Barry Allen and Wally West, Formula 1 Racing or NASCAR, Pixar’s Lightning McQueen, and Dreamworks’ Turbo*

Boomstick: These two superheroes are always living life in the fast lane, but whose drive will let them survive this Death Race? He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.

Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win... a Death Battle.

PREFACE (What to know): 

I’ll be looking primarily at the Amazon show rather than the comics and using the Garth Ennis comics as secondary sources. For Iida, I’ll be focusing more on the manga. Also, as much as I want to focus on character interaction, because holy cow, the potential for it is palpable with these two, I don’t know how much of it I can fit. You’ll see why soon.

WHY: 

Connections (What do they have in common):

1. Both are speedsters in superhuman societies with blue and gray coloring, and use eyewear (Iida’s glasses, A-Train’s goggles). Their naming is also themed after engines, Iida’s hero epithet the Turbo Hero Ingenium and A-Train is named after a train.

2. Both form/formed part of respected and/or renowned superhero associations (UA High School for Iida, Vought Corporation and The Seven for A-Train).

3. Both have older brothers who helped improve their speedster skills that introduced them to self-harming methods for improving their speeds (Iida rips out the mufflers in his quads and A-Train overuses Compound V and increases the risk of cardiac arrest severely) that also end up crippled and unable to walk again, provoking both to attempt revenge kills that nearly costed them their lives.

4. Said revenge drove them to their lowest points and marked turning points in who they were not just as heroes, but as people. Iida began to be more protective of his friends, culminating in him and the rest of Class 1-A saving Deku from himself. Iida even told Deku that the essence of heroism is meddling when you don’t need to, which was what Deku said when saving Iida from Stain. A-Train killed Blue Hawk in a time when he was beginning to feel genuine remorse for his murders and collateral damage. He went to Hughie and genuinely apologized for killing Robin, and he feels that life sucks because Nate hates him now.

5. Both take up the role of a previous speedster hero. Iida takes up the role of the aforementioned Tensei Iida who was the previous Ingenium, and A-Train fills the spot in The Seven left by Mister Marathon.

Personal reasons (Why I want this battle/like this MU): 

My Hero Academia vs. The Boys. UA High School vs. Vought Corporation. Student of Heroics vs “Hero”. Quirk vs. Compound V. Speed vs. Speed. In general, I love the idea of MHA vs. The Boys and how they portray the idea of the superhuman society and the incredible crossover potential. Imagine a story that takes place in a world where both Vought and UA exist. Are The Seven heroes of world renown like All Might? How would the world of Quirks react to the idea of a chemical that can give individual superpowers? How would Deku, our initially quirkless protagonist, react knowing that maybe could have avoided so much childhood trauma and other very disgusting things if he had that chemical? Would Endeavor have abused it when attempting to becoming #1 or when training Dabi and Shoto? Would All For One have tried to gain a monopoly on the substance or go against it? Would he order Dr. Garaki to replicate it? What about Hero Killer Stain’s reaction to Compound V and the super commercialized Supes brought to us by Vought? Would he just go on a bloody crusade or join The Boys? Would Billy Butcher accept Stain or just think of him as a lunatic? What about Overhaul’s reaction to a compound that does the opposite of his quirk killer bullets? So much stuff to write fanfiction about. 

What I like about this matchup specifically is how contrasting the two are as people: 

Iida is upstanding and upright. He wants to look after his friends after his attempt at revenge and live up to his family’s legacy of generational heroism. A-Train wasn’t born with his powers, rather he takes what is essentially a needle drug to give him powers, and wants to be the fastest. To quote The Boys Fandom, “He'll do whatever it takes to remain in The Seven, because he knows it's only a matter of time until a younger, faster challenger takes his place — and that's a problem even the fastest man in the world can't outrun.” Will Iida be that new and young challenger despite not being a candidate for The Seven? Would A-Train get Shockwave flashbacks? Would Iida try to be like Deku and attempt to understand what led A-Train to the point he currently is? Would he be empathetic to wanting to exact revenge against someone who crippled a dear older brother? I think Iida would be empathetic, but disappointed that A-Train chose to turn his life around only because of the consequences that affected him. A-Train is a cautionary tale to Iida and should remind him of Stain’s values, and Iida could be A-Train’s saving light. A-Train may not be a total monster, but he is still more monster than human.

THE FIGHT:

Art and animation: 

MHA has, as of me writing this, appeared three times in DB! and only one was animated in 3D, and when DB! did their Seven Battle Royale, all characters that participated, including A-Train, were in 2D pixels. It’s most likely a 2D fight. Maybe we can get some well-placed hand-drawn bits and pieces like Mob vs. Tatsumaki to emphasize some of the cooler moments.

Possible setup: 

At a hero convention held in Dagobah National Stadium done as a collaboration between UA High School and Vought International. We see Deku fanboying over the superheroes present and Hawks talking to some Supes and Vought executives. The stadium is full of cheering fans, looking onto a racing circuit. There are also lots of cameras streaming the event onto the world wide web.

From all around the stadium we hear, “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to the UA Vought Convention! Our first event is the Charity Race! Get ready for the supersonic action between our speed icons, UA’s Ingenium and The Seven’s A-Train!”

We cut to our heroes at the starting line, stretching and warming up. Once done, Ingenium outstretched his right hand, “May the better speedster win!”

“Oh, I plan to. You’ll be eating my dust soon.” A-Train doesn’t even turn to face Iida and leaves him hanging. As A-Train gets into running position, Ingenium is taken aback by his fellow hero’s rudeness. However, there is a race that is about to go underway, so Ingenium puts on his helmet and gets into running position as well.

A-Trian isn’t worried, this kid isn’t Shockwave. He had made sure to take a little extra Compound V just in case, though. He’ll win this one for Nate. 

“Gentlemen! Start your engines!” A man a safe distance from the two is wearing a lot of safety gear and padding. He holds up a gun, and Iida’s engines are revving.

There is a gunshot and both are off at sonic speeds. Unfortunately, in this hero society, there were a lot of rabid fans that were dying to get up close to see their idols in action. Let’s just say that one of those fans was about to have their wish granted. A spectator had fallen onto the race track, right in front of the racers. Ingenium notices and slows down.

“Look out!”, but A-Train just splatters the person into pieces like he did Robin and continues running. Ingenium, now angry, goes after his fellow speedster.

“Stop! You have just killed a civilian!”

“Shut up! I will win! I can’t stop for anything! I’m the fastest man in the world!” Maybe taking that little extra V juice was a bad idea. 

Iida catches up and attempts a kick. A-Train notices and meets Ingenium’s kick with a punch of his own. He’s really hoping Hughie wasn’t watching.

FIGHT! :

1. The bloody murder had caused shrieks and panicking among the fans. The announcer was doing his damndest to calm everyone down. “Everyone, please do not panic! Exit the stadium in orderly fashion!” Ingenium and A-Train’s hits meet and they keep running, but Ingenium attempts another kick, resulting in A-Train grabbing his leg and throwing him into a wall and grants A-Train the lead in the now futile charity race. As A-Train completes a lap, Ingenium times his next attack, and successfully tackles A-Train and attempts to apprehend him, but A-Train escapes the stadium and Ingenium follows.

2. The fight has now broken onto the streets outside. A-Train is causing some more deaths, and Ingenium is staying behind to make sure that the collateral is reduced. Ingenium tackles A-Train once again, but they stumble. They land on a river and then continue their chase running on the river. 

3. They get off the river and into traffic, sending pieces of trash and paper flying. We get a perspective of A-Train’s point of view from his season 1 fight against Starlight (when everything looked to be moving in slow motion), running at Ingenium and decking him squarely in the helmet, cracking it a lot. This sends Ingenium crashing into a building. People are fleeing and screaming out of fear. Before A-Train can get run and another hit in, Ingenium’s engines start to flare up, and A-Train is suddenly hit in the gut. Ingenium had used Engine Boost, and having punched A-Train hard, attempts to subdue him while he has the advantage.

4. A-Train does not give Ingenium the chance, pushing back and kneeing Ingenium in the gut. A-Train and Ingenium then run onto a subway track. As they continue trying to punch and kick the other, they dodge oncoming trains as well. Unfortunately for Ingenium, this gives A-Train the chance to grab him again by the leg, and A-Train attempts to kill Ingenium like he did Blue Hawk, and wears down Ingenium’s armor. Unfortunately for A-Train, however, Ingenium is neither Shockwave or Blue Hawk. Ingenium activates Recipro Burst, and his engines burn up A-Train’s hand. Ingenium gets up and produce a strong collision between that sends them flying out of the subway tunnel and back onto the streets.

5. Ingenium attempts to quickly subdue A-Train, but he can’t. Recipro Turbo has now worn off, and A-Train gets Ingenium on his knees, and repeatedly slams Ingenium’s head against the pavement. “This wasn’t supposed to happen! I was supposed to win, to prove to everyone that I was above that f*cking racist Blue Hawk! I was supposed to get my brother back on my side with this race! I barely patched things up with  But YOU came along and F*CKED IT ALL UP FOR ME!” Iida is having a hard time listening to A-Train since his head is about to suffer a concussion, but… Is he feeling… Sympathy? He wants to earn his brother’s love again? “Now you’re going to suffer like your slow-ass brother before you…!” 

6. No one insults Tensei Iida, because no one knows Tensei Iida like Tenya Iida. Now furious, Ingenium elbows A-Train and punches him hard and both struggle to stand. Ingenium finds some ice and applies it to his legs, and he feels a lot of relief. “My brother was a hero! He risked his own life to protect the lives of others! He… He paid for it so hard… But you! You blame me for the consequences of your actions!” A-Train is now royally ticked off, and injects more Compound V into his legs, and Ingenium tries to intervene. “You take drugs?! You dare think of yourself as a hero?!” It wasn’t Trigger, Iida thought, but that’s for later. A-Train had jacked up his speed more, and punches Ingenium again before he could get closer. They start to run again. Iida quickly gathers some ice to cool himself off, and with Recipro Extend, Iida is off. However, he is still too slow, and A-Train starts to really lay it into him and he can’t see him coming. “Give up, kid!” Compound V has now made A-Train even faster than he was before, and Ingenium is getting hit from all angles, but Ingenium activates Recipro Turbo and successfully catches A-Train. They try to run, and while they can get good hits in, A-Train is even able to fully break Ingenium’s helmet, both are effectively near their limits, but they can’t stop. 

7. A-Train tried to strike Ingenium in the leg, but it was a grave mistake, as the hot engine severely hurts A-Train’s leg. It wasn’t completely for nothing, as A-Train even damaged one Ingenium’s mufflers. Both are sent tumbling to an empty main street with considerable distance from each other. Ingenium crashes into a train, severely denting its side and A-Train is sent into a train station. 

8. Now, it’s all or nothing. “I will beat you. I… Will win… Because I AM THE FASTEST MAN IN THE WORLD!” A-Train gets up and gets ready. Across from him is Ingenium. “You may be fast… But I can’t give up! A hero never gives up! My brother didn’t, and my friends didn't give up! I will do what they all did…! I have to go BEYOND!” Both are ready to fight. A-Train tries to inject some more Compound V. F*ck, this he is going to pay. Iida starts to overtax his thrusters. He’s been storing some energy, and he’s ready to unleash it. A-Train runs so fast that the pavement starts to crack with every step, and Iida unleashes his Maximum Speed, and shouts “PLUS ULTRAAA!” Their speed is so great that the glass in all buildings nearby shatters, and the pavement is left dust. 

9. Iida wins by A-Train succumbing to a heart attack. Ingenium is able to kick A-Train first and sends him back into the train station. A-Train had already abused Compound V, and with him overexerting himself, he feels his chest hurt and simply doesn’t get up. Iida crawls and limps his way. “I’m sorry… But these are the consequences of your actions.” We then see some ambulances arrive

10. A-Train wins by getting in a killing blow first. A-Train’s chest hurts, but victory is close at hand. As the two speedsters close in on each other, A-Train simply strikes first. He punches Iida into the ground so hard that his head bleeds. “Told you…” We see A-Train panting, and then he runs away as ambulances start to arrive.

11. KO!

RESULT:

Strengths and weaknesses:

Iida:

+ Is generally the more mentally put together and smarter of the two.

+ Has more martial skills than just running fast.

 ≥ At his fastest, Iida could likely move faster than Dark Shadow who could time lightning. This is a HUGE stretch, but Iida, at his fastest, could be faster than A-Train. Iida has only gone faster since then.

- Costume does not really serve as armor as Stain was able to cut through it.

- Iida is left a sitting duck after using Recipro Turbo and Recipro Burst.

A-Train:

+ Better perception. (supposedly)

+ Stronger as he could pull a train (ba dum tss) in Season 1 of The Boys.

+ Even if Iida was faster, A-Train has more consistent showings of his speed.

 ≥ Arguably more durable if he can withstand ramming himself into people so fast they turn into just blood on pavement.

- Overdosing on Compound V is fatal to himself, compared to Recipro Turbo which only momentarily incapacitates Iida (is this still possible with his heart transplant?)

- A precise strike could leave him incapacitated, like when he was hit in the back of the knee when he was trying to intimidate Hughie by kidnapping his dad.

Ending puns:

"A-Train simply couldn’t handle the s-train."

"Iida cer-train-ly met his match today."

MUSIC:

Name: Top Gear

The name makes reference to both characters being speedsters with an engine naming theme. Iida has mentioned that his speed works in gears like a car (Quirk Assessment test), and both have a max speed mode in Recipro Turbo and an overdose of Compound V which would be both of them shifting to their max gear.

Art: The cover shows a vial of Compound V rocketing towards the front via the Engine’s Recipro Turbo with Iida’s glasses and A-Trains goggles flying away. The speed is so much that the vial is cracking under strain. There are blur lines all around the speeding vial.

Sound: 

I want to take inspiration from songs like Michael Jackson’s Speed Demon, Golden Earring’s Radar Love, or Deep Purple’s Highway Star to reflect A-Train’s need for speed, but to stay truer to the characters, I decided to look at songs that represent them.

The song starts off like the first 30 seconds of “QUIRK” DON-PACHI with its robotic sounding intro, like revving engines, ending with a “Ready? Set, GO!” like A-Train’s theme, Faster to kick off the race. The song maintains a fast-paced beat, sounding like Faster but with MHA’s rock/electronic instrumentation. Speed is the name of the game, and so it should be one of the core feelings of this song, like Way Past Flash.

As the fight ends and the killing blow is dealt, the song starts to become Iida’s theme to reflect somberness. The winner may have survived the deadly ordeal, but now they have another burden to bear. 

FINAL THOUGHTS AND WORDS:

The creative juices for this one just FLOWED. I had a lot of fun making this one. Maybe it’s because it’s built on a potentially strong crossover, maybe it’s because I really wanted to put my ideas for character interaction onto text. Maybe because these characters have little in the way of abilities so it was easier to write for them.

Also, not going to lie, I genuinely questioned if A-Train really even had physical weaknesses. His heart transplant fixes the damages from his previous heart, but wouldn’t an overdose or abuse of Compound V still cause a heart attack? I can definitely see him trying to use more of it in order to remain the fastest and especially in the face of someone like Iida, young and fast. I don’t completely understand, and it’s very likely I'm doing something wrong, so if you do understand, let me know. :)

IDEAS THAT I HAD:

1. Starts at a hero convention between UA and Vought because the idea makes a lot of sense for a crossover or a charity race for black communities that got sponsored by Vought because A-Train wants to fix his image.

2. Shockwave flashbacks. Kid is also naive, a pushover.

3. Fight starts with A-Train killing someone like he did Robin, Iida gets disgusted and tries to stop A-Train.

4. Enter a subway tunnel or bullet train track and pass by a train to reference their naming schemes.

5. A-Train insults Tensei, Iida takes offense, and the fight is taken up a notch.

6. A-Train spills on his situation with Nate and his murder of Blue Hawk, Iida is empathetic but must stop A-Train.

7. Iida reacting to A-Train taking Compound V.

8. Recipro Turbo vs. Mudman reference, Blue Hawk murder reference

9. Damaged legs.

10. Plus Ultra Recipro Turbo Vs. Compound V overdose

11. Fights with punches, kicks, and maybe chops.

12. A-Train kills Iida the only way he should: like he killed Robin. However, he feels remorse because now, he killed a kid and his image is absolutely going to tank. 

13. Iida wins by Recipro Burst kick, and deeply apologizes for taking A-Train’s life before he could fully redeem himself. A-Train never got to apologize to his brother.

14. Running on water

15. Turn Dagobah stadium into a thunderdrome, or have a race around the city like in Cars 2.

16. Something involving a spy for future MHA vs. The Boys episodes.

THANK YOU AND I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS!

NEXT TIME…!

Groudon is facing off against its mortal enemy, Kyogre. There may be rain, but the sun is shining. 

Groudon starts to charge a Solar Beam, but then is pulled under and doesn’t fire the Solar Beam, causing the clouds to obscure the sun. Kyogre is also struggling to control the waves as they are going against its command, until a fist made of water deals an uppercut to Kyogre’s face, staggering Kyogre a bit. The fist of water lands meters in front of the Sea Basin Pokémon, and it morphs into Chaos. 

It is a time of crisis, and so Chaos has re-emerged.

There is too much water.

Chaos vs. Kyogre (Sonic the Hedgehog vs. Pokémon)

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

I like this idea! To be honest, I remember Brandon Yates making a track for this battle, Compound Engine, and it was a pretty solid track from him. Personally, I HATE the Boys, though I can see the hype around it AND I can also recognize the power they have. A-Train, as I see him, is supposed to garner sympathy as this profession athlete figure who could easily be replaced, but him giving half-felt speeches as an "apology" just writes him off as just another athlete using his fame to get away with ACTUAL murder. Very O.J. of him.

That said, as much as I would love for Iida to inadvertently kill A-Train from his own stupidity by taking Compound V, I think the alternate take in which A-Train murders Iida fits in better with the powerscaling, since Iida isn't really that powerful compared to other speedsters, especially when you include his engine limits.

As for the next fight, might I suggest you look into Brandon Yates other work, Primal Chaos?

2 and 11 for the salty ask list!

Hi, friend! Thank you so much for asking <3

2.) Are there any popular fandom OTPs you only BroTP?

Oh, yeah, there are a lot of them for sure! I’d say the biggest one is Westallen, I don’t dislike it enough for it to be a NOTP, but I can never make their romance quite work for me! I have so many issues with the way their getting-together storyline was written on the actual show. But even though I can never make the romance click, I don’t want to be dismissive towards the obvious bond they have. I feel the same way about Barrisco and Snowbarry, neither really appeals to me as a romance at all. Honestly, this is just a me thing but Friends to Lovers just isn’t my cup of tea at all in general, like it does not capture my interest at all.

11.) Is there an unpopular character you like that the fandom doesn’t? Why?

I guess I’m gonna have to go with Rip, haha, I know a lot of people hate his guts but I quite like him, even though I understand why other people may not. I know he’s a manipulative asshole most of the time, and I think the show is at its best when it acknowledges that about him but I don’t need him to be a good person to find him interesting. I think the fact that he’s kind of ruthless and lies to everyone is actually part of why I like him. I like that he lives in shades of grey and that you never really know what you’re gonna get with him. Also, I just really enjoy Arthur Darvill’s performance. Some of my favorite scenes in the entire show are Rip losing his mind perfecting his cake decorating skills in Doomworld and of course singing karaoke with Wally. It’s just a good time.

Restoration and Reliving AU (still workshopping the name) part 2

After a flash, they find themselves in what seems to be an alternate reality. There’s no set. There’s no studios. There’s no workshops. It’s like the Neighborhood from their show but... it’s real. Even Home is there, alive. Everyone’s alive.

Except.

Wally’s not there.

At first, everyone’s confused. Where were they? Were they all dead? Was this real? Had Wally gotten them?

But Howdy points out, wherever they were, they were all safe. And everyone agrees.

Except Barnaby.

He’s more focused on the fact that Wally seemingly disappeared in that flash. He wants to know what happened to his best friend. Even if the stitching on his neck was loose from everything... Even if he’d tried to kill them. Even if he’d slaughtered the whole production team. He knew the others might not want to see him back but he did...

And that’s when they hear something.

It’s quiet at first, just a rustle in the bushes. Even then, that’s enough to grab all of their attention. They’re all nervous, hoping it’s some small harmless animal, like a rabbit or something.

Barnaby is the one brave enough to approach. He kneels down to see, and his first thoughts are

No...

It can’t be.

He slowly reaches into the bushes, only to pull out a little version of Wally. Small, young, obviously de-aged by a lot. He’d be turned into a child, most likely by the spell.

Now, of course, everyone has questions. Why had the spell done this? Had something gone wrong? Was this intentional? Should they be worried? Could they even take care of him, knowing what he’d done?

But, not Barnaby. Barnaby has one goal now. One goal only. Protect him. Protect Wally from anything that could hurt him... from anything that could cause him to become how he had before. And, at first, he believes this goal is only his own. Even that he may be shunned. So he tells them quickly, to get it out of the way. Just rip the bandaid off.

But, they’re ok with that. They agree. They’ll help him not only protect Wally, but raise him if he doesn’t revert on his own.

They’re safe now. Wally’s safe now. Even if they have to live remembering what had happened.

Chapter 2

Adam is sitting at the kitchen table, impatiently looking around. A cold sandwich in front of him on a nice decorative plate. It looks pretty old, like something his grandmother would’ve had.

After the afternoons spirited conversation the group decided to split up and ‘cool off’ for a while. Bobby was in the living room reading a book and sifting through papers, he was presumably the one they tasked with babysitting Adam. Which Adam thought was kind of a bad idea, seeing as he could run and Bobby… Well, couldn’t.

Dean was outside working on a car, Sam was somewhere in the house also doing research, and the angel could be anywhere- literally.

He picks up the sandwich inspecting its contents before dropping it back down, letting it land unglamorously and come apart on the plate.

His stomach was extremely knotted from the entire situation, this effectively killed his appetite.

He leaned back in his chair, eyes passing Bobby and locking onto to the door. He scanned the rest of the areas visible to him, checking for any potential threats that may hinder his escape.

Not finding Bobby to be particularly threatening, Adam stands up and quickly but quietly moves for the door.

Reaching the door without much issue he grabs the door knob, a smile of achievement on his face.

“Going somewhere?”

“Uh- yeah, out for a beer.” Adam says, thinking of the best excuse he could on a moments notice.

Sam offers a smile. “Great, we have beer in the fridge.”

“Look.” Adam starts, “I know you pitched this whole dewy-eyed bromance thing to me, but I’m on lock down, aren’t I?”

Sam has his hand on Adams shoulder, walking him back to the kitchen table. He pulls out a chair for Adam gesturing for him to sit, Adam obliges. Sam pulls a chair out for himself on the opposite side of the table, sitting down and locking eyes with Adam.

“You may not believe it, but dad was trying to protect you. Keeping you from all this.” Sam tells him.

“Yeah?” Adam says. His mind quickly wandering to the memory of his mother’s and his own gruesome death. He feels anger burn at him, definitely apparent in his voice. “Well, bang up job! I guess the monster that ate me didn’t get that memo, huh?”

Sam stares at him, lips parting and closing again before he chooses his words.

“You remember that?” He says, softly.

Adam scoffs dryly, “Oh yeah. All of it.”

Adam averts his eyes, looking off to the side to try and avoid the man seeing his eyes start to well up.

Sam Scans Adam’s face.

“Still. Trust me. Do you know what’s worse than seeing dad once a year? Seeing him all year.” Sam returns with a faux laugh, clearly trying to lighten the mood.

Adam says nothing for a moment. He’s in no mood to laugh or joke about anything. His eyes go up to meet Sam’s.

“Do you know how full of shit you are? It was me and my mom. That’s it. She worked the graveyard shift at the hospital. I cooked my own dinners, I put myself to bed. So you can say whatever you want about our dad, but the truth is I would’ve taken anything. Alright?”

“Look, if we had known we had a brother-“

Adam cuts in before Sam can complete his resolve, “Well, you didn’t so.”

“We would’ve found you. Look. I can’t change the past, but from here on out-“

Adam cuts in again. Sam’s attempts to soothe him only make his anger fester more. “What? We would’ve hopped in the family Truckster? Popped on down to Wally World?”

Sam smirks at the response given by his younger half-brother. “I’ll tell you what. With an attitude like that? You’d fit in just fine around here.”

——

Adam feels warmth on his body, the sun is shining down on him. He feels calm and peaceful, completely different than the rest of the day. He’s sitting on a wooden bench that’s damp with morning dew. He observes his surroundings, a small smile forming at the familiar swings and play set.

“Your mom’s not coming you know.” A male voice says ripping him from his relaxed state and putting him back on edge.

Adam looks beside him to see a late forties, balding man sitting beside him.

He surveys him with a despondent face hardening into his features. He draws his brows tightly together, considering speaking but ultimately decides against it. The man repeats himself, “Your mom’s not coming, you know.” The man pauses to take a breath and look around. “This is the park your mom took you to on her days off, right?” He stops again, eyes locked on the swing set, nodding to himself before repeating again, “She’s not coming. Not yet.”

Adam turns his head to face the man before his words continue.

“But she will. Soon.”

Adam continues on, staring at the man for a bit before he reveals his thoughts.

“You’re Zachariah, right?”

“I am.” Zachariah responds in a sing-song voice.

“And I’m dreaming, right?”

“You are. You weren’t where you were supposed to be, kid.”

“Yeah, I know.” Adam replies nonchalantly.

“Can’t quite zero in on you, either. So let me take a wild guess- You’re with Sam and Dean.” Zachariah ripostes.

Adam bites his lip, “Yeah.”

Zachariah takes a second to shake his head and make a pained expression.

“Didn’t we tell you about them?”

Adam nods.

“So, you know you can’t trust them, right? You know Sam and Dean Winchester are psychotically, irrationally, erotically codependent on each other right?” Zachariah says with an almost pleading facial expression.

Adam sighs, “I don’t know. They said a few things about you too.”

The two lock eyes for a moment before Zachariah picks the conversation back up.

“Really? Trust me kid when the heat gets hot, they’re not going to give a shit about you. They’d rather save each other’s sweet bacon than save the planet. Where do you think that leaves you on the list? They are not your family. Understand?”

Adam looks forward blankly, failing to respond.

“Now, you want to see your mom again, or not?” Zachariah says giving Adam a ‘reassuring’ slap on the shoulder.

Adam’s eyes snap open. He breathes the houses musty, damp air into his lungs, shivering from the shock of the sudden change.

He’s laying on the bed, eyes open, staring at the ceiling debating his options.

Risk it with the Winchesters (guys he just met), or say yes to an archangel and see his mom again. It only takes him mere moments to decide, then he’s ready.

Sitting straight up in the bed, he surveys the area around him. He squints his eyes trying to find the figures of Sam or Dean anywhere in the dark. The of his line of vision from the bed isn’t very good however, he doesn’t find either brother and sighs in relief.

He closes his eyes once more, starting to pray. He was never the praying type, they didn’t attend church so this was a new thing to him.“Dear.. Zachariah? Who art thou in heaven? Uh, I’m in Bobby Singers house? Sioux Falls, South Dakota. It’s a uh scrap yard and-“

His prayer was shortened by the flapping of wings, and Zachariah standing in front of him smiling. Two other presumed angels standing behind him.

“There you are.” Zachariah says, triumphantly placing a hand on Adams shoulder.

A split second later they were off.
