#since we’re dealing with a multiverse here

[stars-obsession-pit]

Alternate timeline evil Danny, but his scheme is more like Owlman’s from DC’s “Crisis on Two Earths”

He works with the GIW to make a bomb to genuinely destroy the Infinite Realms, considering it the “only real choice” when faced with infinity.

And they do, in fact, detonate it. An expanding sphere of destruction begins to devour its way through the Zone, annihilating everything it touches (and by extension destroying any parts of the living universes that mirror those sections of the Zone).

However, because of the scale of the Infinite Realms, the propagation isn’t instantaneous. Other universes, separated by vast spans of void, are faced with a deadline: they have until the event horizon reaches them to figure out a solution (whether that be actually halting the blast or just relocating as much of their universe as they can to safer ground) or they’ll be wiped out

—They will be Loved—

So after finishing the Multiverse of Madness film, I had an idea of a story where the reader is the Widow of Black Widow (see what I did there?) and is also the spirit of Vengeance because Ghost Rider needs an R-Rated MCU Film, and shares his grief with an also grieving Wanda.

Strange Had requested help with a “little” issue as he called it, little being an absolute lie since it’s dealing with the god damn multiverse, but you relented and agreed. It’s been, lonely since Nat left and the avengers are gone, it’ll be nice to at least get out of the house.

You rode down the countryside, the hum of your chopper in your ears and the wind on your face, you went to the orchad of Mrs Maximoff. it was often you did the dirty work of others. This one, was personal though. Wanda did some things many would consider simply evil, but it’s not always so cut and dry with things like this. The white petal orchard trees lined the side of the road and nearing her home, a voice of pure evil calls from the back of your head like a speaker.

“I sense immense magic here..” the Spirit of Vengeance, my others self you could say, was speaking to you

“Yeah, I felt it too..” You replied, I saw from the corner of my eye a woman grafting the orchard. You slowly came to a halt and halted your bike and kicked up the stand. Stepping off, you approached her, the warm scent of apple and grass felt so, human. And you haven’t felt human in a long time.

You get behind her, and she obviously senses your presence.

“Apples, right?” You ask, trying to break the ice with your old friend. “Nat would have loved it..” you start.

“Eventually.” Wanda replies in Jest, she turns to face you and you can see that her beauty hasn’t changed at all. Those beautiful eyes hold so much grief behind them. You nod, “It’s almost to good to be true, you know?” You say, trying to hint at Wanda.

“It's all very real. Thanks. I put the magic behind me.” She said to you, she walks off to continue pruning limbs and you casually follow her, “Well, I knew sooner or later you'd... show up, wanting to discuss what happened at WestView. I made mistakes, and people were hurt.” She said, the pain in her eyes, her power was neatly unmatched, and that lead to catastrophic consequences.

“I'm not here to talk about WestView Wanda.” You say.

“Then what are you here for?”

“Strange, needs your help.” You start.

“With what?” She inquired, you rubbed your chin trying to think of a way to explain. “You, ever come across the concept of, the Multiverse?” You said, Wanda didn’t look as confused as you thought she would.

“The Multiverse. Vis had his theories. He believed it was real. And, dangerous.” She drops the limbs into a crate and then gives her full attention to you.

“Well, he was right about that. From what he told me, he found a girl who can somehow travel across it but she's being pursued.” You say.

“Pursued by who?”

“Some kind of demon. From what strange told me, I’d go with Underworld Deity, a Trickster wouldn’t try to take her by force but trick her into giving her soul or powers away. Strange is ready to defend her, and we could use another Avenger.” You offer, trying to get a smile out of Wanda, she gives you a sad one.

“There are other Avengers, (Y/n).”

“Yeah but, it’s not really the same, besides between Clint, A Teenager webslinger, and …Whatever I am. We’re the best line of defense for her.” You explain, and Wanda poses a question.

“What if you brought America here?” She asks.

“Here?” You reply? And the spirit in your head also picks it up.

“She knows the name of America Chavez…”

“Yeah, she’s been stalking her..” you think, and Wanda goes on.

“Yeah. I know what it's like. To be on your own, hunted for abilities you never wanted. I can protect her.” She explains, you continue to look at Wanda, not saying anything as she realizes her slip up.

“..You never told me her name, did you?” She asks, now realizing she’s been had.

“No. No, I didn't.” You reply, Wanda sighs, and looks around. “You know, the Hex was the easy part. The lying, not so much.”

Wanda calmly moves her hand, which dispels the illusion and reveals the truly hellish world she’s been on, it’s blood red, mixed with such evil darkenss, no life, no trees, no happy little farm. And what stood there for you, was a Book. The, Book.

“The Darkhold.” You felt its eternal power reach out to you, ready to swallow you whole. You fight its call of power and hear Wanda.

“You've heard of the Darkhold?” She asks you, turning your eyes to her, you see her dawned not in regular civilian clothes, but that of the Scarlet Witch.

“it's the Book of the Damned. And that it corrupts everything and everyone that it touches. The Way Chthon intended it, it shows you falsehoods and a sense of power you will never control.”

“The Darkhold only showed me the truth. Everything I lost... can be mine again.” She said, somehow believing her own lies, you shook your head in disbelief, that Wanda would go so, far.

“What do you want with America? And What do you want with the Multiverse?” You demand, and she gives up her plan.

“I'm going to leave this reality, and go to one where I can be with my children.” She said, but you calmly countered.

“Wanda, your children aren't real. They were made from magic.”

“That's what every mother does. If you knew... there was a universe, where you were happy, happy with Natasha, with a family, wouldn't you wanna go there?” She asks you, and admittedly, she’s right. A simple life on the countryside, away from the Spy games and Occult evil, a world where you’re happy. Your anger slowly transformed into melancholic empathy, you frowned softly to Wanda.

“You know… Nat couldn’t have kids, so we considered adopting. It was the last thing we talked about. She really would have loved any child we had. I know it can’t compare to you and Viz though. It’s not enough that, In Many other universes, they’ll be loved?” You ask, Wanda’s walls come down for a moment and you saw the real Her. A grieving mother and widow. A tear comes down her eye, and she couldn’t reply.

“You’re right, I would love a world where I can be happy with Nat, love her, hold her… but in order to do that I’d have to kill a version of myself that’s happy. I can’t do that, I can’t kill a version of myself for my own happiness. If I did that, would I even deserve to be happy? Would you kill a version of yourself that’s happy because you’re not?” You reply. Just for a moment you saw Wanda’s eyes have a hint of remorse in them. “Wanda, what you plan do to will cause irreparable damage to our universe and the one you intended to murder and implant yourself inside, if you try to child's power, she won't survive.” You warn her, but it seems she unfortunately stuck in a fusion of corruption and grief.

“I don't relish hurting anyone, (Y/n). But she's not a child. She's a supernatural being. Such raw power could wreak havoc on this, and other worlds. Her sacrifice would be for the greater good.” She said, still trying to justify this absolutely diabolical behavior.

“You’re starting to sound just like Him, the same man who killed Vision and half of the universe.” You shake you Head, turning away from her to walk away.

“Strange killed half of the universe When he gave Thanos the Time Stone.” She retorts back to you. You halt in your steps and slowly turn back to her.

“He breaks the rules and becomes a hero. I do it and I become the enemy. That doesn't seem fair.” She replies, You Storm over, frustration coming to a boil, she could see it, the red burning flame in your eyes, the Ghost Rider.

“That was different, Strange gave Thanos the stone because it’s the only way in Fourteen Million outcomes that we beat Thanos. You want it to bring back children that don’t exist for you, Strange was Selfless, you’re just Selfish.” The venom in your words, they haunt Wanda, the growing disconnect between her and reality was apparent.. she shook off your threat.

“Return to Kamar-Taj, and prepare to hand over America Chavez by sundown. Peacefully. After that... You'll never see me again.” She bargains.

“And if I refuse?” You ask, and her sinister aura changes.

“Then it won’t be Wanda who comes for her, it will be the Scarlet Witch.” With those haunting words, she turns to walk away, you felt a blend of anger, sadness, grief all your own.

“Wanda..” you say, she stood still but didn’t turn to face you.

“I… I Miss the people that we used to be..” you say. Wanda gives a shaky sigh, you can hear her trying not to break down into tears.

“.. So do I Pral..” she mutters before leaving, as much as it tore you apart, as much as you hated it. This, could only end one way.

Swap Beyond the Crystalverse Chapter 3: Paranormal Teens

Co-written with @crystalninjaphoenix Read Swapboys | Read Crystal’s AUs

Other Multiverse Stories: SITCV | SATCV | GITHV

The jolt happens again, and Bro finds himself--well this is not ideal. It's a public bathroom. A very clean public bathroom, with pastel blue and white tiles forming a checkerboard pattern, but still. Not ideal. At least it's empty. 

Bro reorients himself and then blinks in confusion. “Huh… well, this is a first…”

There's some faint music coming from the closed door leading out into the rest of the building. 🎵 The sun goes down, the stars come out, and all that counts is here and now, My universe will never be the same, I'm glad you came, I'm glad you came 🎵

Bro’s ears pick up on the music and he heads over to the door to peek out of it.

This is a restaurant of some sort, with pastel pink-and-blue walls and a checkerboard floor. Looks pretty crowded. There are all sorts of people sitting in booths and at tables. The music is almost drowned out by their chatter. There's a big set of front windows showing a nice sunny day outside.

Bro whistles a bit to himself as he walks through, “this is a cute place! Heh… I would take Stacy to a place like this…” he smiles to himself.

As he walks through the crowds towards the front of the shop, he suddenly hears a shout. "Holy crap!" a voice says. "Hey! Bro! Is that you?!"

Someone sitting at a table by a window suddenly stands up and starts waving. A teenage boy wearing an oversized T-shirt and black jeans with rips in the knees...and a snapback cap pushing down messy brown hair.

Bro jumps slightly and looks- then smiles wide and bright. “yooo no way!! Little me???” He hurries over, grinning, “…wait what??? Who said you were allowed to get this much older, huh?!”

The younger Chase laughs. "Yoooo it's been forever since I've seen you! I was like--thirteen or something? That's wild! It's so good to see you again!" He holds up a hand for a high-five. 

Bro high-fives him instantly. “Jesus… what are you now? 16?? It had not been 3 fucking years oh my god-“ Bro laughs breathlessly. “That’s insane…”

"Older Chase?" Someone else stands up--the other person at Chase's table. It's a girl around the same age, with wavy blonde hair. She's wearing a pink pair of glasses, a pink skater skirt, and a T-shirt with the graphic of a skull wearing a pink bow and the words Monster High. "What're you doing here?"

Bro blinks at the girl and his eyes widen. Oh hey- she… kinda reminds him of Stacy… “uh? Hi? Iii don’t think I met you last time! But hi! Uh- we’re here to actually fix our multiverses traveling thing… that’s why we never got to come back to visit you guys!” He takes off his hat and pushes back his hair, “God… I feel like when I would visit from Uni and suddenly Alt grew an inch-“

"Huh? What d'you mean?" The girl blinks, confused. 

"You don't remember Stacy?" Chase asks. "I mean... you guys didn't meet her the first time you showed up.... And what d'you mean you never came back here? What were all those other times?" 

The girl--Stacy--puts her hands on her hips. "Is there some weird time stuff happening?" 

"Ohhhh, that must be it." Chase nods. "So like--those visits haven't happened for you guys! God, this must be even crazier, then."

Bro blinks in bewilderment. “What?? Yeah uh- we didn’t come back since the first time! …oh no this is gonna break my brain oh god-“

"God, I know, right?" Chase laughs. "I have no idea how Jays deals with everything." 

“Jays?? He deals with this kind of stuff??” Bro asks with wide eyes. 

"It's a long story," Chase says, shrugging. 

"Anyway, um... in that case, hi, I'm Stacy!" Stacy smiles and waves. "You guys are here to fix your TRVLR?"

Bro focuses back on Stacy and smiles, “Nice to meet you officially then, Stacy! And yup! It’s- god such a long story but basically it got broken and then got sucked into other worlds and we almost got all the pieces! But now we gotta go collect what’s left! Which led us here!”

"Ohhhh, cool." Stacy nods. "Is there anything we can do to help?" 

"Wh--I mean--Stacy, we were--" Chase suddenly stammers. "I-I mean--we didn't even... get our food or anything..." 

"Oh, I mean, uh... yeah! We can totally keep going!" Stacy looks embarrassed. "It's not that I, uh, don't like this or want to leave, I just... it seems important." 

"Uh, yeah, it does, but uh... I-I was gonna... I mean, uh..." 

"We can come back here some other time. Any time!" 

"Yeah, I just uh... yeah." 

They are both blushing.

Bro blinks a bit in confusion and looks between the two of them. Then it clicks and he goes, “OHH! Oh! You two are-! Awww-! It’s okay little dudes you two can finish! I gotta figure out where Alt went anyways!”

"Wh--I mean, we're, uh--y-yeah, we're--I-I mean we've done stuff before, but like..." Chase messes with his hat distractedly. "This is like... stuff." 

"Yeah, it's like... stuff." Stacy fidgets with a bracelet on her wrist. "Um... he'll probably be with the others, I guess. Or... nearby." 

"So he's gonna be at Jackie's house," Chase says. "They're all hanging out there. They asked us if we wanted to come, but uh... stuff."

Bro laughs, “You guys are so cute- you can just say it’s a date!” He waves himself off, “You guys gimme an address and I can find them then! Maybe you can come catch up once you’re done!”

The blushing intensifies. "Y-yeah, it's like... a casual thing," Stacy says. 

"Uh, yeah, hang on." Chase grabs a napkin from the napkin holder. "Stace, d'you have a pen?" 

"Yep." Stacy takes a sparkly gold pen out of her pocket and hands it over. 

"Thanks." Chase writes something down. "Here!" He hands it out to Bro. On it is written the address 45 Hyder Lane, as well as some other stuff. "Uh, I know you can fly so you'll probably be able to just go there, but just in case here are the bus lines to get there from Zelly's--that's here, by the way."

Bro takes the address from them and laughs, “yeah but that’s probably not a good idea here-! Luckily I got my phone- …that should still work right?” He whips out his phone to type in the address.

For some reason, the maps app takes a lot longer to load. Chase and Stacy lean over his shoulders. "Oh, you have a GPS on your phone?" Chase gasps. 

"I hear they're gonna do something like that soon!" Stacy says excitedly. "This fall or something." 

Eventually, something seems to connect and it shows the address.

“Oh right- this is still the past.” Bro giggles, “it’s… 2012 now then?” He whistles, “man.. that’s crazy.” Once it’s loaded he grins and shows them. “Alright! See we’re all good! You guys can enjoy the rest of your date!”

The two teens blush again. "Th-thanks," Chase says. "Good luck with your, uh, search." 

"We'll see you later, maybe?" Stacy says. 

“Hopefully!” Bro grins as he waves, heading towards the door- “have fun you guys!”

"See you!" Chase waves Bro off.

 ----------- 

Alt lands in a hallway at the base of a staircase. The floor beneath his feet is covered in a brown shaggy carpet and the walls are painted pale yellow. There's a door to the left that's ajar, showing a laundry room of some kind. There's also a door to the right that's ajar, through which come a series of voices and shouts. 

"How are you guys winning?! You don't have a fucking Medic!" 

"You don't need a Medic when you got mad skillz--oh god damn it!" 

"Hah! That is what you get for talking shit!" 

"To be fair, we are like, four years older than you guys--" 

"And so? That means you're better at video games? I beg to dif--fuck! Where were you?!" 

"Ahahahaha! I could be in this very room! I could be you, I could be me, I could even be right behind you!"

Alt shakes himself out and blinks as he takes in the hallway. All those voices… it sounds like a bunch of teenagers? …weird- he glitches a bit forward and tries to peek in through the door.

This room is full of stuff. Right by the doorway there's a bookshelf full of stuff for something called Caverns and Creatures. Up against the opposite wall, underneath a high-up window, are a series of stacked plastic boxes full of what look like old clothes. In the corners of the rooms are piles of outdoorsy equipment. But in the center is a small island made by pushing a desk up against two folding tables (looks like the desk had been pushed over from a spot by the wall, judging by the impressions in the carpet). On this island are a bunch of computers, most of them laptops but two clunky older models. 

Six young guys are sitting there, all focused on the computers. "Jameson how the fuck are you typing while shooting me?!" one shouts. Another one just grins and sticks out his tongue in response. 

"Marvin I need to fucking heal you!" 

"Oh that's you, I thought that was Aodhan, sorry!" 

"It could be me! You don't know!" 

"Dude, shut the fuck up." 

"Hehehehehe."

Alt blinks a bit in confusion. …are these all? But- last time they were like- 13! These can’t be the same guys right? He furrows his eyebrows and tries to lean closer- but then leans too far onto the door and it flies open- leaving him standing in the doorway with wide eyes.

The nearest guy--wearing an old red hoodie, brown hair pulled back in a ponytail, a bit of stubble on his face--looks back towards the doorway first. "Dad, did you want--" Then he stops. And grins. "No way! Alt?!" 

Alt glitches a bit in surprise and awkwardly waves his hand. 

The others all look up. "Holy shit, it's Alt!" one of them shouts, standing up. He has a black streak dyed in his hair, and is wearing a black t-shirt with a band name over a longer-sleeved striped shirt. "Hey! Alt! You probably don't recognize us! It's me!" He waves, and little green fireworks pop off around his hand. "Marvin!" 

Alt grins big, “No fucking way- what the hell?!” He laughs. He glitches further into the room and his eyes widen as he sees the magic. “Oh my god hey!”

"Alt?" A boy with round glasses and a blue flannel shirt looks up. He grins. "Alt! It is so good to--" 

"From behind!" 

"Hey!" The glasses boy glares at the guy sitting across from him.

Alt pushes his hair back in disbelief, laughing breathlessly, “Jesus Christ… h-has it been that long since we’ve seen you all? You’re all… you’re all grown up..!”

Marvin laughs. "Yeah it's been like--three years or something? Fucking insane!" 

“Jesus- it hasn’t been that long for me and Bro!” Alt laughs.

"Huh?" One of the guys looks over, wearing a blue hoodie and an Irish flat cap. "Oh, so you're that Alt guy from their one adventure with other worlds?" 

"Yep!" The guy in the hoodie--obviously Jackie--nods. "Alt, this is Jack, we met him a bit after you guys." 

Alt blinks at the new kid and smiles. “Yo nice to meet ya! Any friends of these lads are a friend of mine!” He grins.

"Nice to meet ya!" Jack says cheerfully.

"Schiesse!" shouts the boy with glasses. "Jackie, pause the fucking server, Aodhan is making camp on me!" 

"Noooo, I'm camping you, that's different," the guy next to Jack cackles. He's wearing all black, a black leather jacket over a black t-shirt with only highlights of silver on his bracelets and the choker around his neck. 

"Okay, I'm calling time-out," Jackie says, turning back to his computer and pressing some buttons. 

Alt looks over at the computers and chuckles, “oh man whatcha guys playing? Sounds intense-“ he laughs.

The guy in black looks back at Alt. His eyes are bright green. He grins. "Hey! I remember you!" 

Alt blinks at the boy in all black and his eyes widen, “Woah- you’re … you’re A-Anti??” 

"Yeah!" Aodhan nods, grinning. "Look at me! I'm normal now! Well, almost." He's suddenly over by the the corner of the room. Then he's sitting up on the ledge of the window, crouching awkwardly since it's so close to the ceiling. Then he's back in his chair. 

Alt blinks rapidly then grins, “You’re just like me!” 

"It's still crazy to have him here," Jack laughs, leaning closer to him. Aodhan leans close as well and the two of them bump shoulders. 

The last boy stands up and waves. He's wearing a green t-shirt over a white button-down shirt, and has an old-fashioned pocket watch on a chain around his neck. It's so good to see you, Alt, the boy with the pocket watch says. It's me, Jameson! 

"And I am Schneep." The boy with glasses grins. 

Alt glitches around to look at Schneep and Jameson properly, “Damn! Look at you all! …some of you are taller than me what the hell?!” 

"Chase and Stacy were gonna be here, but they had plans," Marvin says. He wiggles his eyebrows, making JJ laugh. 

Alt’s eyebrows raise at the mention of Chase and Stacy. He shakes his head and laughs, “you guys have a lot to catch me and Bro on it seems! Man… I was hoping it wouldn’t be this long before I got to see you all again…” he sighs and rubs the back of his neck.

"What are you doing back here, Alt?" Schneep asks. 

“Well… We wanted to visit long before this but… we ran into problems that broke the TRVLR and now we… we gotta find the missing parts. One of them should be here.”

"Oh no, your TRVLR is broken?" Schneep says, distressed. "That is terrible! I do not think we could help put it back together, but we can help find your piece that is stuck here." 

Alt smiles, “We just gotta find the parts but thanks Schneep-“

Alt's phone lets out a squawk of static. "Actually there are two parts in this world," Anti's voice says. "One of them arrived here at an earlier time, closer to when you were first here, but the second was shot to a later point in the timeline. That's why so much time has passed." 

He jumps when Anti’s voice comes out of his phone and he pulls it out, “I gotta get used to you just speaking randomly…” he grumbles.

Aodhan gasps. "There's a voice in your pocket! I know that voice!" 

"You do?" Jack looks at him. 

"Yeah, that's the guy who showed me the Fissures, I'd never forget him." 

"Oh. I don't think that was me," Anti says. "But it was probably that other version of me." 

"Ah, okay." 

Alt blinks at this and tilts his head, “wait ...does that mean we gotta travel even further into the past? Man.. that’s gonna get confusing-“ He blinks a bit shocked at Aodhan then nods at Anti, “Oh yeah it’s…complicated- this guy is theee same guy- just a different timeline basically.” He flips his phone to show everyone Anti inside, “This is Anti guys- he’s from one of the first worlds we ever went to!”

Anti waves as the guys crowd around to look at him. "Oh he's a little guy!" 

Marvin gasps. "And he does look like Anti--Aodhan!" 

Your phone is so cool, Alt, Jameson says, smiling. 

"I'm not normally this little, I'm just hanging out in his phone until I regain my energy," Anti explains. "And no, Alt, we won't have to travel further back. The piece still exists in the future, after all. We can pick them both up from here." 

“Oooh- right okay. What I said sounds dumb now-“ Alt laughs sheepishly.

"Ooooo." Aodhan reaches out and pokes Alt's phone screen. He abruptly disappears, reappearing on the screen just like Anti is. 

Marvin laughs. "C'mon, dude! You're probably gonna fill up Alt's memory storage." 

"Sorry!" Aodhan pops out again. 

Alt jumps a bit at this then laughs, “Dude- we’re more alike then I thought! Though I don’t think I can appear on the screen like that… maybe I could though.” He muses. 

"Never know until you try, Alt," Anti says from the phone. "But uh, not right now. The teen Marvin is right, I'm taking up a lot of your storage." 

Schneep narrows his eyes at him. "Were you using your powers to cheat?" 

"I'd never do that!" Aodhan gasps, mock-offended. "Not for TF2, you all suck too much at the game for cheating to be necessary!" The others all immediately shout out protests.

Alt listens to the others bicker and laughs more, “Oh! TF2! Man- that takes me back!” He grins.

"Oh yeah, they said you were from the future!" Jack gasps. "Or, a world that's in the future. That's so cool." 

And it explains the phone being so cool, JJ says. 

"Yes, look at the apps, they are all so smooth and without texture," Schneep says. 

Alt laughs, “Yeah in my world it’s 2020!”

Jackie shakes his head. "We're getting distracted. Alt, d'you know what these pieces you're looking for look like? Or where they might be?"

Alt blinks at Jackie then digs in his pocket to pull out the tracker, touching the pupil. “Oh I can find out, one sec-“ The two TRVLR pieces are in in the city, one in Hollewych Park and one just outside city hall.

Alt looks at the others, “There’s one in Hollewych Park and one just outside of city hall-“ He relays to the others, putting the tracker back in his pocket.

"Ooooo, was that magic?" Marvin says excitedly. "Like some sort of--scrying thing?" 

“Oh yeah kinda?” Alt chuckles, “that’s probably the best way to describe it!” 

"We are kinda close to the park, but we'll have to drive a bit farther to get to city hall," Jackie says. He sighs. "I don't really want to go back there. I mean, I know it's fine now, but like..." 

JJ looks at Alt. Do you remember the Circle? They used to have a location at city hall. I think we all remember city hall for that, even though it was years ago by now.

Alt blinks at Jackie’s response but then his expression darkens a bit. “Oh yeah- I remember you all talking about them… but hey you got rid of them it sounds like! So it should be fine- but you guys don’t have to come if you don’t want to!”

"No, it's fine," Jackie insists. "You're right, the Circle is gone now, so there's nothing to worry about. I just get nervous, you know?" 

"You can wait in the car or something," Jack suggests. 

"I mean... I definitely want to come. I wasn't around for the other times these guys showed up!" 

"We are going to the park first, yes?" Schneep says. "So we can think about city hall on the way there." 

Marvin frowns. "I don't think we can all fit in Jackie's car. And Chase is the only other one with a license so we're shit out of luck for taking two cars." He looks at Alt, eyes wide. "Can you glitch us there?!" 

That's probably too many people, Jameson points out. 

“I can try- it is kinda reaching my limit though-“ Alt says.

"I can try to help?" Aodhan suggests. "But shouldn't we ask something first?" The others stare at him. "Like--where's the other guy? The big Chase? And did that cat guy come along?"

Alt blinks with the others then smacks his head kinda, “Oh yeah! Bro should be around here somewhere- probably with little him since the rest of you are here! And no don’t worry- Mag isn’t here this time, thank god.”

"Oh good." Aodhan relaxes, looking relieved. 

Alt seems to process something and looks back at Jack, “Wait…you said other times- as in plural? We’ve only been here once…” he says, looking confused.

Jackie blinks. "You mean you don't... remember your other visits?" 

Maybe it's more time stuff! JJ says excitedly. Like Dr. Who! In the episode with the angels where they meet the lady who gives them a guide for the questions-- 

Alt’s eyes widen as he blinks at the boys in surprise. “…woah- this is some fucking timey wimey shit all right-“ he laughs. “…god that makes me feel a bit better- I was really bummed that guys thought we just… forgot about you guys.” 

"Oooo, yes, of course!" Schneep nods. "Like your watch!" 

That too. JJ grabs the pocket watch around his neck. 

Alt tilts his head at JJ then glitches over, looking at his watch. “Oh? Do you have magic now too??” 

JJ grins. I found this a couple months ago! I don't know if it's magic, but it's very cool! He shakes his head. I'll hold back for now though so I can explain to you and Bro at the same time.

Alt nods, “That’s fair! I’m very interested to learn more.” He grins. 

"I wonder if Chase and Stacy will want to come," Marvin says. "Or d'you think they'll want to, yknow... do whatever people do when they date?"

Alt looks at Marvin and laughs, touching his necklace. “Well- probably the latter if I had to guess. Lemme see if I can catch Bro and tell him where we’re going-“ He pulls out his phone and calls Bro.

Bro has been walking for a while, despite how Chase gave him bus directions. He's in an area with tons of businesses and restaurants, and a lot of people walking around, enjoying the sunny day. That's when his phone starts to ring.

Bro grumbles to himself, “Fucking- should have listened to little me… why isn’t flying more wildly accepted?” He sighs. Then blinks as his phone rings. “Yo? Alt?” 

“Hey Chase- where you at?” 

“Trying to walk to Little Jackie’s house-“ Bro grunts. 

“I’m with the others! The TRVLR parts are at hollewych park and then city hall- are you anywhere close to there?”

"Oh, if he started at Zelly's then he'll probably be kind of near the city center," Jackie says. 

"Is he surrounded by five-story buildings or two-story buildings?" Schneep asks. "Because they tend to get taller the closer you get to city hall."

“Here let me put you all on speaker so he can hear this,” Alt laughs, “Say hi to the kids, Bro!” 

“Yooo little dudes!” Bro’s voices says over the speaker.

"Hi!" Jackie says. 

"What's up, bitches!" Marvin shouts. 

"As Chase would say, 'sup?" Schneep says. 

Jameson whistles. 

"You haven't met me before, but I'm Jack, nice to meet you!" Jack says. 

"And when you met me I wasn't normal!" Aodhan says cheerfully. "It's me, Anti! But my name is Aodhan, too." 

“Oh wow hi eveyone!” Bro laughs over the speaker, “and uh- hi Anti! Glad you’re … normal now?” 

"Bro, where are you?" Jackie asks. "What bus did you take?"

As Jackie asks his question there’s a long pause on Bro’s end before he mumbles, “I- uh… didn’t take one-“

A second passes in silence. Then Aodhan starts laughing. Marvin starts giggling after him. "Are you--are you fucking walking?" he asks. 

Schneep frowns. "I know this is a small town, but it is not that small." 

Alt covers his mouth to hide his laughter, “Chase… really?” 

“Well I can’t fly right now can I?? I thought- how bad could it be?? Plus like- don’t you need to… show id or something on buses or- be a citizen?? I don’t know how buses work I’m a superhero goddamnit!” Alt rolls his eyes. 

"You need to pay for a bus, so if you don't have money, that's an excuse," Jack suggests. "I don't think you have to show ID? At least, they've never asked me or Anti."

"So you're probably still close to Zelly's then," Jackie says, nudging Marvin and Aodhan. "You probably didn't get past Queen Cleo's--that's the pizza place with the red roof. I mean, assuming you don't have super speed or anything." The pizza place Jackie is mentioning is right next to Bro.

Bro looks over at his side and then makes a face, “…yeah I see the pizza place-“ he says in a defeated tone.

Jackie holds back a snort of laughter of his own now. "Okay, okay, it'll probably be easiest if you head towards city hall. I can drive over there to pick you up and take you the rest of the way. Meanwhile, Alt can take some guys straight to the park and look around for your TRVLR thing there, then once they've found it they can go to city hall." He looks around. "Does that sound good to everyone?" 

“Sounds good to me!” Alt grins. 

Bro sighs heavily, “Yeah that’s chill- lemme see if I can pull up directions there-“ 

“You’re using your gps?? Dude it tells you how long it takes to walk there-“ Alt laughs, “Did you see how long it would take and still chose to walk?” 

Another long silence follows before Bro says quietly, “…I had it still on the drive time-“ 

“Oh my god chase!” Alt bursts into laughter now.

Schneep chuckles. "You really are an older version of Chase. I am not quite understanding this conversation, but it sounds like something he would do." 

Alt laughs, “I can see it.” 

"Alright, who wants to come with me to pick up Bro, then?" Jackie asks, looking around. 

"I, uh... want to meet him," Jack says. 

"I do not imagine being much help with the park search, I will go, too," Schneep says. 

"I can do both!" Aodhan grins. 

JJ and Marvin look at each other. They nod in unison. "Me and JJ will go with Alt to the park," Marvin says. "If that's okay."

Alt blinks then grins wide at Marvin and JJ, “Of course dude! Us magic bros gotta stick together!”

The twins grin right back at him. 

"Great." Jackie nods. "Now... I just need to think of a reason why I'd be driving off with Jack and Schneep. To tell Dad, I mean. He'd want to know. Maybe we're getting snacks...though in that case we'd need to actually get snacks." 

"I should text Chase all this, yes?" Schneep says. "Or do you think that would interrupt him?"

Bro chuckles on the speaker, “We can get snacks- we aren’t in that big of a rush. Alt could always use extra anyways if you all are glitching pretty far.”

Jackie laughs. "Okay, okay, we'll stop by, then." He looks at Alt, JJ, and Marvin. "You guys will probably have to glitch right out of here. If you went upstairs Dad would be confused as to who this older guy is and when he got here." 

“Yeah I don’t wanna alarm your dad,” Alt laughs. “Keep me updated bro-“ 

“Will do dude- see you all soon!” Bro says before Alt hangs up. He then stuffs the phone in his pocket and offer a hand out to the boys. “Alright! Let’s get moving then~”

Marvin grabs JJ's arm and then Alt's hand. "Great!" He looks at the others and grins. "See you all later! Tell Bro we say hi when you find him!" 

"No problem!" Jackie says.

Alt waves his other other hand and then glitches the 3 of them out of there towards the park.

They appear on a concrete path surrounding a wide green space. More paths crisscross the area, as well as some steps, as they seem to be standing on top of a slight hill. In the center of the park is a large fountain with some angelic looking figures--though one of them is missing a wing, like it broke off. There are some people wandering around the park. A woman walking a dog, a family with two young kids, some teenage boys in the corner skateboarding. 

"Heheh. Hey look, it's Chase's people," Marvin says, pointing at the skaters. 

Suddenly, Aodhan appears next to them. "Hey, this is where I first saw Chase!"

Alt laughs at Marvin’s comment then can’t help but jump a bit as Aodhan joins. “Oh right- hi,” He laughs. He pulls out the tracker again to see if he can get a more accurate read on where the piece is as he looks out over the park. “This is a nice park! Cozy almost.”

"Yeah, it really is!" Marvin nods. "When me and JJ were younger we used to take the coins from the fountain that they threw into the basin for wishes. But as we got older it started to feel kinda bad doing that, y'know? Like, if greenlight is real, what if wishes are? So I started doing like, pet sitting stuff for money. I'm really good with cats. We have a cat, named Sinney, she's a Russian blue and very adorable." As Marvin talks, the glass eye tracker tells Alt that the TRVLR part is in... what do you know? The fountain basin.

“Oh yeah I remember you talking about Sinney!” Alt smiles, “and that’s a good way to get money dude - hanging out with cats all day? I’d do that!” He blinks then laughs as the tracker tells him the location. He starts to walk towards the fountain. “Hey! The part is actually in the fountain apparently!”

JJ laughs. What a coincidence! The group heads down the path and reaches the fountain. 

Aodhan looks up at it. "Did I break the wing off that angel?" 

"Yeah," Marvin says.

 "Oops." 

“That sounds like a wild story,” Alt giggles.

JJ leans over the edge and looks into the basin. Do you know what the piece looks like, Alt?

Alt sighs and leans over the fountain, “Not really- but I guess something mechanical will be easy to spot, right?”

"Well, your TRVLR was very small, wasn't it?" Marvin says. "Like... this big?" He pantomimes holding it. "So there's probably a lot of small parts in it..." 

"Guess we just have to look close!" Aodhan says, leaning right up to the water, his nose two inches from its surface. 

JJ chuckles. Don't get wet, your eyeliner will smear. "I don't have the time for eyeliner! I'm not Marvin!" 

"Hey!... well, that's true," Marvin admits. "But I'm not wearing eyeliner today."

“Oh my god the eyeliner phase-“ Alt laughs, hiding his face a bit.

While they're talking, they circle around the fountain. Alt sees a glint of something gold--unusual compared to the rest of the copper and silver coins. 

Marvin also notices it. "Oo! What's that?"

Alt brightens and reaches over for it, “I think this might be it!”

It looks like a little rectangle, no bigger than the coins it's surrounded by. Most of it is black, but there's a smaller gold rectangle in the middle that's the source of the glint. 

"Hey! What are you doing over there?"

Alt snatched up the rectangle before standing up quickly and looking towards the source of the question. “I-I dropped something in here! Just getting it real quick!”

The asker is a man in a gray suit, looking very out of place among the casual summer fashion of everyone else. He nods slowly. "Sorry. Didn't mean to bite your head off. But I hear some people like to steal coins from the fountain." 

JJ and Marvin glance at each other. 

"Are you all... family? Brothers, cousins, what?"

Alt tilts his head and then answers quickly, “Yeah I’m uh- cousins with these two! Just visiting-“ He smiles.

"Hmm." The man looks at Aodhan. "And you?"

Aodhan just stares. A slight static hum comes from him. 

"He's just our friend," Marvin hurriedly says. "You know--" 

"Stranger," Aodhan mutters. 

The twins look at him in confusion. 

"Well, I'm also from out of town," the man says, seemingly not hearing Aodhan's comment. "It's a lovely place, isn't it?"

“Yeah I love visiting here,” Alt says carefully, narrowing his eyes at the man. “…but if you’re from out of town, why do you care who’s in the fountain…?”

"Oh, I don't like to see people causing trouble," the man says. "I hear there was a lot of trouble in this town about three years ago? Have you heard of that?" He looks at Marvin and JJ. "What about you boys?" 

"Uh... yeah, we remember it," Marvin says. "It was crazy."

Alt narrows his eyes a bit more, crossing his arms. “…can we help you with something?” He says shortly.

The man stares at the four of them thoughtfully... then sighed. "Alright, I can see you're the type to see through the small talk." He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a business card. "I work for an agency, we're very curious about what happened here in Hollewych three years ago. I know it was very confusing for everyone who lives here, but we've already had the details of what happened. So we've been going around asking people if they know why it happened."

Alt just stares hard at the man and his card. “I don’t think we can help you with that. These guys were just kids back then- and I wasn’t here.”

The main raises an eyebrow. "Teenagers are more observant than we think, you know." 

"Sorry, we don't know anything," Marvin says. "It was fucking weird, that's all." 

"Alright. If you need to contact us, if you remember something, our phone number is on this card." 

Jameson silently takes it. 

The man nods. "Be seeing you, maybe." And he walks away.

Alt glares at the man as he walks away, “that was… really fucking weird. Everything about that seemed off.” He mumbles.

"I don't like him," Aodhan mutters. "He reminds me of the people in the Circle." He looks over at Alt. "Bullies." 

Alt nods, “Yeah I get that vibe…”

"Why'd you take the card, JJ?" Marvin asks. 

JJ hands the card to Marvin so he can sign. 

He seemed like he wouldn't go away otherwise. 

"Hmm." Marvin looks at the card. "Department of Impossible Sciences? Never heard of it."

As Marvin reads out the card, Alt feels a pit in his stomach and glitches over to look at the card.

One side of the card has the department name on it, along with a phone number. The other side is black, and has a white design of an eye on it, complete with eyelid and lashes. It does not have three irises.

Alt deflates at little bit- a bit relieved. Still he shakes his head, “I wouldn’t trust anyone who says they’re from a ‘department of impossible science’-“ He grumbles. “I’d definitely stay away from those guys.” 

"Yeah, no, definitely fucking not," Marvin agrees. 

Alt checks to make sure he still has the piece of the TRVLR and cleans it off before putting it in the black bag. “Well- at least we got the piece! Let’s head over to the others-“ 

"I'll go right now," Aodhan says, and disappears. 

No fair, JJ says, rolling his eyes. 

"Well... guess we're going to city hall without him, then," Marvin says, laughing a little. 

Alt chuckles, “I can just as easily glitch us over too- or do you guys wanna walk?”

"No that's what I meant." Marvin holds his hand out, grabbing onto JJ's arm. "It's just like--funny that he did it without us."

Alt shakes his head with a laugh, “maybe he just prefers glitching solo!” He grabs Marvin’s hand and glitches after Anti towards city hall.

----------- 

Meanwhile, Bro has been walking for a while. The businesses have taken over the area, pushing out the restaurants. But then a car pulls to the side, a silver car with big windows and a rounded top. The driver's side window rolls down, and a guy with long brown hair and an old red hoodie looks at him. "Wow--you really haven't aged a day!" Jackie laughs. "JJ's right, there must be some weird time stuff going on."

Bro idly looks at the buildings then blinks as the car rolls up. He grins as he sees the familiar face. “I can’t say the same about you! Look at ya!! Couldn’t even drink the last time we saw ya! Now you’re old enough to be in uni!!” He pauses then sticks out his tongue, “Ugh- I sound like an old relative coming to visit-“

Jackie laughs. "Yeah! It's crazy." He grins. "I--I'm actually on break from uni right now. I've made some friends there, I think. Here, get in the passenger side. If you think I look really different, you'll be so surprised to see Schneep." 

"What is that supposed to mean?!" A voice comes from the backseat. 

"It means you had a massive growth spurt, you doof," Jackie calls into the back.

Bro grins and hurries into the car. He climbs into the passenger side and quickly turns around then gasps in delight in seeing Schneep. “Oh my god! Little Hen!! You’re definitely not little anymore!”

"I was not that small, was I?" Schneep says. 

The other guy in the backseat laughs. "Hey, the first time I saw you, I legit thought you were, like, eight years old." 

"Hmph. Well, at least that has changed now!" Schneep grins. "It is good to see you again, Bro!" 

Bro grins back. “It’s good to see you all too! I can’t believe it’s been so long for you all! I wanna say it’s been… god… maybe 6 ish months?? Since we last saw you? Maybe longer-? Things have been kinda crazy.” He laughs. 

"Only six months? It sounds like there is some strange time stuff happening," Schneep chuckles. 

“Right?? It’s blowing my mind!” Bro laughs.

"And it's good to see you at all. I'm Jack." He holds out a hand for a shake. 

Bro blinks and takes Jack’s hand and shakes it, “Pleasure, Jack! I’m Chase but you know that’s confusing so call me Bro~!”

"Bro, then!" Jack laughs. "That's Chase's favorite word, it's really fitting that it's what we call you." 

Bro grins at Jack, “It’s my favorite word too! Why do think I picked it as my hero name?” 

Jackie puts the car into gear and pulls back into the street. Bro can tell that he's a lot more confident in his driving skills. "We're gonna find a corner store or something to get snacks from, then head over to city hall."

Bro sits the right way in the seat now and grins, “Sick! I can get some 2012 food- …was there anything good from then we don’t have now?” He asks himself, making a thinking face.

"Hey, I mean... you'd know more than us, we haven't been any time after 2012 yet." Jackie laughs. "That's sort of how time works, usually." 

Suddenly, there's a whine of static, and someone appears in the empty seat between Jack and Schneep. "Hey!" 

"Jesus focking christ, Anti!" Jack jumps.

Bro screeches a bit in surprise and grips over his heart- “…you think living with Alt I’d be used to this kinda shit!”

“You never get used to it,” Jack mutters. “Trust me.” 

“Sorry,” Aodhan says. “But look! It’s me! I’m not a shadow anymore!” He leans into the space between the two seats and grins. 

“Hey man! I’m so glad! I bet that’s a fucking crazy story,” Bro grins. 

“What are you doing here, Anti?” Schneep asks. 

“Telling you that the other three are going to city hall,” Aodhan says. “And that there was a weird guy talking to us.”

Bro blinks and tilts his head, “A weird guy?”

“Weird guy in a suit,” Aodhan continues. “Asking about what happened three years ago. He said he was from the Department of Impossible Sciences.”

Bro knits his eyebrows together, “…that sounds familiar… weird though- why ask about that now?”

“Yeah… I mean, it’s been a while,” Jackie says thoughtfully. “Maybe it’s only like… relevant now? For something this department is doing?” 

“If it’s a department, what is it a department of?” Jack wonders. “The government?” 

“Well they are not going to get any answers from the townspeople,” Schneep says. “It seems everyone has agreed to forget about it.” 

“Corner store,” Aodhan points out the window. “Snacks.” 

“Yeah, I see it, thanks,” Jackie says. 

“Yeah… seems weird that a guy like that would just- approach Alt and a bunch of teenagers… just out of nowhere…” Bro muses.

“I’m not a teenager,” Aodhan grumbles.

“Yeah, we’re old enough to drink in America!” Jack adds. 

“To be fair, Aodhan, you do act like a twelve-year-old a lot,” Jackie says.

Bro giggles, “I mean- still seems weird to approach a bunch of younger guys about this- out of just nowhere right? You all weren’t like- doing anything weird or magic?”

“We got the TRVLR part out of the fountain,” Aodhan says. 

“In the fountain?!” Schneep repeats. “Are you sure that the part will work?” “It looked like a solid thing. No place for water to get in or ruin it or anything.” Jackie pulls up to the corner store. “Well hopefully this was a one-off thing,” he says. “Now. Snacks.”

Bro hums in thought but then nods and hops out of the car, “Snacks!”

Portal to My Heart (Book 3) Chapter Two

Loki x Reader

Chapter Two: Between Times

Summary: (Y/N) and Loki continue to fall through time in the TVA and try to find a solution.

            “We don’t have time for this,” grumbled Loki as Mobius pressed the elevator button.

            “I mean, I have to agree,” said (Y/N). “We need to deal with the real problem: He Who Remains.”

            “I understand that, and we’ll get to that,” said Mobius tiredly, looking at (Y/N) and Loki. Both were instantly willing to run right back into danger instead of taking care of themselves. “In order to do that, I need a Loki and (Y/N) Who Remain. We need to address you disappearing.””

            “What? We don’t keep disappearing,” scoffed Loki.

            “We don’t have time for—” began (Y/N).

            Loki and (Y/N)’s bodies distorted and disappeared, and Mobius stood uncomfortably alone for a moment before they reappeared and grimaced from the sensation.

            “Okay, so maybe we disappear,” muttered (Y/N).

            Mobius shivered. “I can’t keep looking at it ‘cause it’s horrible. It looks like you’re being born or dying or both at the same time. It looks really bad.”

            “It’s not that bad. We can handle it,” assured Loki.

            Mobius looked at them doubtfully and walked out of the elevator when the doors opened. “Okay, and Sylvie kicking you through the Time Door somehow started all of this?”

            (Y/N) shrugged. “It would make sense. Either that or the multiverse starting. By being there when it happened and going through He Who Remains’ Tempad, it might have changed something in us, affected us somehow.”

            “Wait, that’s who you said had my memory wiped?” said Mobius, leading them down a corridor.

            “Yes. He Who Remains,” said Loki for the millionth time.

            “Is that what you’re calling him or that’s his name?” asked Mobius.

            “Not really sure,” said (Y/N), shrugging. “That’s how he was introduced.”

            “That’s arrogant. It’s like calling yourself the ‘Last Man Standing,’ ” said Mobius.

            “Is it arrogant if you can back it up?” remarked Loki.

            “Don’t act like you have experience with that,” said (Y/N), and Loki look at her, offended.

            “Can he back it up, though?” asked Mobius.

            “…He can,” said (Y/N).

            “That’s scary,” said Mobius.

            “Imagine a million of them,” said Loki.

            “Ugh,” said (Y/N).

            “I’d rather not,” said Mobius, stepping into a smaller elevator.

            “Where are you taking us?” asked Loki.

            “It’s alright, it’s a little off the beaten path,” said Mobius. He huffed as the door closed. “I have no memory of having my memory wiped.”

            “Probably because you had your memory wiped,” said (Y/N) brightly.

            “Do you know where you’re going?” said Loki when they got off and followed Mobius through a tight corridor.

            “Yeah, it’s just right up here,” said Mobius. “It’s been a while since I’ve been down here.”

            He turned the corner and let them into a large room full of tech and various knickknacks. It was a pale teal with white patterned tiles—a contrast to the orange of the rest of the TVA.

            “Actually, I’m not sure I’ve ever been down here,” said Mobius.

            “Oh, hey!” said a friendly voice, and the turned to see a man lowering himself from the ceiling on a chair. “Welcome to R and A.”

            “Good, we’re in the right place,” said Mobius. He cleared his throat and looked at the man. “We have a little bit of a situation we wanted to run by you.”

            “Mobius!” said the man jovially. “Wow. Great to see you again.”

            Mobius looked at him awkwardly. “Good to see you too. Yeah, I…Loki, (Y/N), I want to introduce you to…” He trailed off, obviously having no memory of the man. He gestured vaguely, but, thankfully, the man didn’t realize and stuck out his hand.

            “I’m Ouroboros!” he said, shaking Loki and (Y/N)’s hands.

            “Ouroboros,” repeated Mobius, pretending he’d known the entire time.

            “Hi,” said (Y/N), smiling. She liked this guy’s energy.

            “Ouroboros, hello,” said Loki.

            “But he calls me OB,” said Ouroboros, grinning.

            “Yeah! I call him OB,” said Mobius, still faking it. “That’s a nickname I have. Yeah.”

            “Wow. How long has it been?” said Ouroboros.

            “Uh…How long has it been?” Mobius was asking himself the same question. “Uh, could it be three or four…”

            “Four hundred years!” agreed Ouroboros.

            “What?” (Y/N) and Loki stared.

            “Right!” said Mobius.

            “Feels like a thousand years, right?” said Ouroboros. “Remember, you got off on the wrong floor, and I told you it was the wrong floor—”

            “Wait, that’s right! Yes!” Mobius finally remembered. “I stayed for a little bit. He took me over—”

            “You stayed?” asked Loki.

            “No, you left immediately,” corrected Ouroboros.

            “Well…I’m back,” said Mobius.

            “Yes, you are!” said Ouroboros brightly. He looked at (Y/N) and Loki. “Believe it or not, he was my last visitor.”

            “Wow,” said (Y/N).

            “Reunited. Four hundred years,” said Loki. They both looked at Mobius and pushed him into awkwardness.

            “Yeah,” Mobius chuckled nervously. “Hey, how are the other guys doin’?”

            “What other guys?” asked Ouroboros.

            Damn, Mobius keeps digging a hole, thought (Y/N).

            “What other guys?” repeated Loki, grinning teasingly at Mobius.

            “Yeah, Mobius, what other guys?” chimed in (Y/N). She exchanged a mischievous glance with Loki.

            “It’s just OB,” said Mobius, forcing a smile on.

            “It’s just OB,” said (Y/N), smiling at Mobius’s awkwardness.

            “Yeah, OB,” agreed Loki.

            Behind Ouroboros, a capsule fell through a chute. “Oh, hang on,” he said, and he went back to grab it. “The work orders really pile up if I take a break, so I just keep out it. Forever. No sleep.”

            “That sucks,” said (Y/N).

            Ouroboros quickly worked on the device that came in for repairs.

            “OB, we just have a quick question for you,” said Mobius.

            Ouroboros finished his repairs and jogged back over to them. “Great being part of a team. So, how is the team doing up there?”

            “Pretty great. I mean, well…You know about the Time-Keepers and, you know—”

            (Y/N) and Loki distorted violently. They stabilized in the R and A room again, but this time without Mobius beside them. Ouroboros—past Ouroboros, it had to be—stared at them.

            “Ouroboros,” said Loki to the stunned man.

            “Can we call you OB?” asked (Y/N).

            “OB?” repeated Ouroboros.

            “Yes, OB,” said Loki.

            Ouroboros brightened. “I like that. Uh, do I know you guys?”

            “Yes. In the future,” said Loki.

            “Well, it’s your future, our past,” clarified (Y/N), confusing Ouroboros more. “Or present. Kind of.”

            “It’s complicated,” said Loki succinctly.

            “We’ve been pulled through different times in the TVA—” began (Y/N).

            “Time-Slipping,” said Ouroboros.

            “That’s a perfect name!” exclaimed (Y/N). “We’ve been time-slipping in the TVA—”

            “It’s impossible to time-slip in the TVA,” said Ouroboros.

            “But you saw it happen,” pointed out Loki.

            “Yeah…I’m having trouble reconciling that,” admitted Ouroboros. “It’s still impossible.”

            “It’s not impossible because we were just with you in the future,” said Loki.

            “Mmm, I think I would remember that,” said Ouroboros.

            “Not if it hasn’t happened to you yet,” said (Y/N).

            “Do you see?” asked Loki.

            “Good point,” said Ouroboros. “It would be convenient if we were having this conversation in the future and this were the past.”

            “We were. This is the…Never mind,” sighed Loki.

            “OB, for the sake of argument, let’s pretend it was possible to time-slip inside the TVA, how could we—”

            “It’s not,” Ouroboros cut off (Y/N).

            “Got it,” said (Y/N), frustrated. “But if it were, how could we remedy it? You know, stop slipping?”

            “First off, someone in the time you want to end up in would need a Temporal Aura Extractor,” said Ouroboros. “But I don’t have one.”

            “If you made one, then the you in the future would have one,” said (Y/N).

            “Oh, right!” said Ouroboros, eagerly getting to work.

            “I think I’m getting the hang of this,” said (Y/N).

            “It seems your injury didn’t dull your mind,” said Loki, smiling.

            “You wish it did,” said (Y/N). She gave him a playful look. “But be careful, it didn’t dull my tongue, either.”

            “I wouldn’t want any part of you dull.” Darling. Loki kept himself from speaking the term of endearment aloud.

            (Y/N) blinked, and her heart stirred at the compliment. She opened her mouth, nearly asking what he meant by that but shut herself up. This wasn’t the time. Not when their very bodies couldn’t remain in a single time.

            And yet (Y/N) wanted to reach out to him.

            “One Temporal Aura Extractor!” said Ouroboros a few minutes later.

            “Great!” said (Y/N).

            “Can you hold onto that until our friend Mobius drops by?” asked Loki.

            “Sure,” said Ouroboros.

            “Once we have it in the time we want to exist in, what do we do?” asked (Y/N).

            “Mobius will have to get to the Temporal Loom so the Extractor can pull you two directly out of the time stream,” said Ouroboros. He grimaced. “But it could be dangerous.”

            “How dangerous?” asked Loki.

            “Not too bad,” assured Ouroboros. “If he spends too much time in it, that kinda temporal energy will peel the skin from him.”

            “I think our definitions of ‘not too bad’ differ,” said (Y/N).

            “Well, it’s not too bad compared to what you two have to do,” clarified Ouroboros.

            “Oh, great,” said (Y/N).

            “And what do we have to do?” asked Loki, knowing he was going to regret it.

            “You have to violently rip yourselves from every thread of time and space,” said Ouroboros.

            “We have to violently rip ourselves from every threat of time and space?!” repeated (Y/N) and Loki.

            “That means prune yourself,” said Ouroboros helpfully.

            “Again? Seriously?” (Y/N) groaned. She had nearly died recently and now she had to risk sending herself to get killed by Alioth. And Loki could die. That was arguably worse to (Y/N).

            Loki had the same thought. (Y/N) had just barely recovered from her injury, and now she was supposed to risk death again? Forget him, Loki was worried about (Y/N).

            “Why?” he demanded.

            “When something is pruned, it is released from time, so the hope is that after you prune yourself, the Extractor will pull you through to the present,” said Ouroboros.

            “The hope?” repeated (Y/N). “We’re gonna die, Loki.”

            “Nonsense, I’m sure OB knows what he’s doing,” said Loki, admittedly not instilling much confidence. “But, uh, if it doesn’t do that, what happens then?”

            “You heard about how if you fall into a black hole you turn into spaghetti?” said Ouroboros.

            “No,” said Loki.

            “Yes,” said (Y/N). She glanced at Loki. “You don’t want to know. Trust me.”

            “I d—”

            Loki’s reply was lost as (Y/N) and him time-slipped away from Ouroboros.

            They landed beside Mobius in their present and knocked into him, stumbling to a stop.

            “Damn it!” said Loki.

            “Shit, that’s uncomfortable,” grumbled (Y/N).

            “Hey, Loki and (Y/N)’re back!” said Ouroboros. “I guess you three are ready to go.”

            “Wait, am I ready to get my skin peeled off?” said Mobius. “I don’t know.”

            “Are we ready to rip ourselves from every thread of time?” said Loki.

            “I dunno,” said (Y/N).

            “I’d rather have that,” said Mobius.

            “Why the hell would you want to do that?” said (Y/N).

            “Better than having your skin ripped off.” Mobius maintained his position.

            “At least you get to live,” said Loki.

            “Live? What’s the quality of life with no skin?” cried Mobius.

            “There has to be another way,” said Loki.

            Ouroboros gave them a rueful smile and held out a pruning stick.

            “Damn,” said (Y/N).

Okay, this is technically a reblog, but since I'm going to (very personally) disagree with a lot of these, I thought it was kind of rude to actually reblog... Everyone is so welcome to their opinion about what they'd like to see coming up!

Things i demand wish to see from MCU Spiderman moving forward:

—Mature and confident Peter who is able to take charge of any situation as an experienced hero

Yes, except no. He's still 17 at the end of NWH. Yes, he's way overpowered and has been through a ton of crap and lost so much, but he's still a kid. An adolescent. An immature human. If he's 25? Sure. I'm all over confident, adult Peter. But if it's right after, and he's like 18/19? Still a kid, and he needs support and mentoring. Even if he's 25, he needs support.

—Spiderman swinging all over NY🕸🕸🕸🕸🕸

Yes, please. New York is his place. I want to see him in New York, but I’d also like to see the citizens of New York step up for him. There was so much heart in Spider-Man 2 when the New Yorkers protected and helped Peter. 

—Fun and complex fight scenes!!!!!!! Peter webbing ppl up during fights, hand to hand combat, using the environment for attacks.

Yeah, this is always great! This is what we’re here for! (Well, that and all the fun relationships the MCU has tried really hard to just delete, but…)

—Step UP the cinematography. Give MCU SM his own distinct visual style like Raimi and Webb did b4

Eh, I don’t have a strong opinion on this. I thought the cinematography in NWH was good. But that’s also not the main thing I’m here for.

—Spiderman helping ppl with small things. Interacting with them and really showing why the ppl of NY love him

See above. Yes, more of this. :)

—Peter working for JJJ? (PLEASE I NEED IT)

I don’t care about this either, but it could be good. I’m just not excited to see one more person treat Peter Parker like trash after all he’s been through, which is my hesitation. (But I get the appeal)

—Peter actually struggle after the events of NWH (emotionally/financially)

I’m good, thanks! Peter has already struggled a LOT and I only want to see this if there is some resolution/help with those things. I’m not here for Hurt/No Comfort, guys.

—Peter trying to form new relationships after MJ and Ned

Maybe. But I’d like him to rediscover his relationship with them more. New relationships, while interesting, cannot replace people who have known and loved you for years. They just can’t.

—Spiderman trash talking his villains

Of course! One of my favorite things is the fun little mini film on Far From Home when he’s taking down the Manfredi family. Is that who they were? I don't feel like looking it up right now.

—🖤BLACK CAT🖤

I mean, sure? I don’t really care about her, but I believe I could be convinced to care about here, if we get to see her human side, and if she shows she has good reasons for whatever she’s doing. I mean, I even cared about Adrian Toomes. Sure, he was a bit of a psychopath, but he was doing it because he loved his family and wanted to provide for them.

—DO NOT CHANGE THE SUIT!!!!!!!!!!! The one he got at the end of NWH is literally perfect. DO NOT CHANGE IT!!!

Buzzer sound. Nope. The thought of him swinging around in that (admittedly cool, very proud of his ingenuity) spandex suit, with even less protection than his original get-up gives me chills, and I want some kind of tech suit back pronto.

—More grounded stories. I love a good cosmic/multiverse story but SM is better when he's on the ground dealing relatively normal shit, petty crime, gangs, evil scientists etc

YES. I want to see the Avengers in “our” world. The space stuff just never hits the same. Or the inner space stuff. (Looking at you, Quantumania. While I enjoyed-ish the movie, my favorite part was at the beginning where Scott was just walking around being kind of normal…) And Spider-man belongs in New York.

—Daredevil team up (spiderman 4?👀)

Yeah, I’d watch that. 

—DEADPOOL DEADPOOL DEADPOOL DEADPOOL DEADPOOL

I’m just not a fan! Especially if it would drive the content-meter up to R-ratings and whatnot.

—An entire movie dedicated to the Venom storyline

Mmm. See, I think this wouldn’t hit the same. The MCU has deleted all the people from Peter’s life who would even care if this happened to him, so it’s not going to have as much impact. They’d have to fix that before I’d care.

What I'd like to see? Really?

There are all sorts of stories that would be interesting, but I don't want a brand new "reset" Spider-man. I want to see him dealing with what happened in NWH, but finding ways to make it better, build a new team, get the support he needs and deserves while they fight against some bigger issue. Kingpin would be just fine.

I'd love to see Peter joining up with Kate, Yelena, Cassie, and Kamala. I'd love to see Bucky and Sam, or Clint (and Clint's kids!!!) becoming part of his life and helping continue to mentor him. Captain Marvel, Rhodey, ANYONE. Help this hero out while he finds his footing again after so much loss and trauma.

Happy and Pepper. Morgan. Anyone, seriously. And I'd love to see Peter get some counseling that is actually helpful.

You know, all the basic stuff that a 40-year-old mom wants to see happen to the souped up teenager who's lost everyone.

AU-gust in September #25: Scientists (Romance The Backrooms)

So, here’s the deal.  I couldn’t participate in my beloved AU-gust event last month, because I was busy.  So I thought, fuck it, I’ll just participate this month instead, because we as humans can do whatever we want, and screw the rules lmao!  And that’s what I’m doing.

The event is “supposed” to be for fanfiction, but I want to write AUs for my game Romance The Backrooms, a liminal space otome with 5 main love interests, so I’m gonna do that instead.  Like I said, screw the rules! X)

Since September has only 30 days, I’ll treat Day 31’s prompt as a Joker (aka a prompt I can switch out if I don’t like the day’s chosen prompt).

I also couldn’t resist using the @tropetember prompt! C: Here’s the tropetember prompts, if you want to take part in that event as well!

Today’s Prompt: Scientists, Unrequited Love

Characters: Adiel & Glarence

Other Info: The idea behind this AU is that Adiel & Glarence are two human scientists trying to make a breakthrough in chronometry (the study of time, Adiel’s field of study) & the multiverse/many worlds theory (in Glarence’s field of study, quantum physics).  Adiel hears about the mythical “backrooms”, where time travel and multiple universes (the individual levels) seems to be possible.  After reading many accounts of the place, he comes to the conclusion that if he & Glarence find the backrooms, they can find a wealth of scientific discovery.  And so, he sets out to convince Glarence.

_________

“I’m telling you, Glarence, the backrooms could be the answer!  It could provide everything we’ve been searching for!” Adiel exclaimed.

“Please,” Glarence scoffed.  “You really expect me to believe that some myth you found in a few forum posts could provide real, scientific answers?”

“It’s not a myth—there are so many accounts of people in the backrooms that is has to be real!” Adiel exclaimed.  “People have talked about meeting their past selves and entering rooms that hold objects from their past or future.  And the place seems to consist of multiple universes that are somehow interconnected!”  The expression on Adiel’s face was manic, thrilled, ecstatic.  “If we’re able to find it, we could find a wealth of answers to our questions!  We could make a breakthrough!”

Glarence paused.  He was trying to find a tactful way to say that he thought the whole thing was bullshit.  But he loved Adiel too much to shoot the whole thing down.  So, he listened to these romantic feelings, and made his decision.

“Alright, I’m in,” Glarence said, trying to play along.  “How do we get started?”

Adiel clapped his hands together in excitement.  “First, we pack supplies.  Then, we head to the abandoned warehouse downtown.

“I think that will be the best place to try to transport ourselves to the backrooms.”

ONE-WOMAN ARMY.

indie, selective, single-muse and canon divergent blog for a MULTIVERSE // POKEMON OC. read the rules below before interacting. no password required. mutuals only.

ATTENTION: this blog follows from @darkestaken.

                  penned by NØX.   (   + 20.   she // her.   cinematography student.   )

ABOUT HERE.

✧  o1. asks & threads.

If you want to make a plotted thread, y'all just need to hit me up ! Be it on my DMs or Discord ( that I only give to close mutuals ), if you send something I should answer it pretty fast. And if you want to continue a thread based on an ask, there is no problem with that, no need to ask !

✧  o2. roleplay memes.

I do reblog karma here ! This means that I would prefer that you reblog a meme on my blog from the source ! I do not like the notification clogging it does ! I am BEGGING you to reblog both memes and musing posts FROM THE SOURCE. It’s such a pet peeve of mine.

Since many people tend to do that, I have decided that after 3 times someone reblogs a meme from me ( instead of the source )  without sending any, I will softblock said person. This rule does not apply if the source of the meme is broken.

✧  o3. language & grammar.

English is my third language, so be ready, there might be some spelling errors and mistakes, heck, there might be some on this page only ! You might find some posts in italian or french.

✧  o4. godmodding.

is of course non-authorized. Killing my muse without so much of a warning and us plotting beforehand will make me automatically drop the thread. METAGAMING unless warned or talked about before is also non-authorized.

✧  o5. art & credits.

The art used on this blog ( icons & graphics ) will come from both my art & commissioned art.

✧  o6. crossover & ocs.

Both are great ! Usually if you have an about page, you’re already halfway good to go. For crossovers, I have to know the universe your muse is from / you gotta have a verse I can work with, as for OCs, I love OCs to bits and I’ve been an advocate for ocs since 2016.

✧  o7. shipping & nsfw.

I am more than okay with shipping, if of course we’re both on the same page about it. One-sided crushes can happen, both from your character and mine, but if the feelings are unrequited I will not push you for a relationship nor should you expect yourself to do the same towards me. i experience shipping anxiety due to past trauma; for that reason, i prefer to ship with friends, people i vibe with, and people i can go to for reassurance.

NSFW will happen only in the form of violence, dark themes and sexual content, and anything will be tagged. For specific triggers, please shoot me a message.

✧  o8. Battle threads.

For any pokémon battle thread, I will be using the PWT battle system. Please give these a good read, and understand that I demand communication during these types of threads. For rolling the dices, we will be using roll dices with friends. Levels of Felicity's team may be adjusted depending on the timeline of events, or simply to make the battles more fair if there is too much of a level disparency. We can also use Showdown.

✧  o9. Blacklist & triggers.

I have very little squeaks, however I understand that others do. If you need anything tagged, tell me so ! I will not interact with The Amazing Digital Circus, other Glitch Production works, as well as any Vizpop Production muses. If you are a multimuse or have a verse that connects to those, please have a tag I can block.

✧  1o. AI art & other stipulations.

I WILL BLOCK YOU IF I SEE YOU USING AI-GENERATED ART. if you are unaware of the problems ai-generated material causes for the art industry, be it illustrators, writers or animators, i implore you to educate yourself on the matter. as someone who would like to enter the industry one day, THIS IS A DEAL BRAKER TO ME. i understand the curiousity and wanting to do it recreationaly, however, BE AWARE that those do cause harm too and feed the machine.

PLEASE TAG YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH MAE // FOXTAIL // SERA // GORE // ANTICUTES AND PAPAYA // AXOLOLT // GLORY. Their presence is pretty triggering for me. Thank you ! Their URL is enough. I WILL ALSO NOT INTERACT WITH PROSHIPPERS. if we're friends & i find out you're a weirdo, i don't care how long we've been friends, IT'S ON SIGHT AND I WILL NOT BE COVERING YOUR ASS EITHER. i'm a recovering survivor of grooming and abuse and i do not wish to be exposed to that kind of content nor people who actively get off it, and that is my right.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR LACK OF COMMUNICATION. as a roleplay partner and friend, i try to be as communicative as possible, and i believe that enjoyable interactions, be it ic or ooc, reside on all parties communicating their needs and wants. IF YOU FAIL TO DO YOUR PART, THAT IS NOT MY FAULT. don't be wishy washy about it, i take things at face value; give me CLEAR STATEMENTS.

[whenimgoodandready]

There are an infinite number of universes. One where we’re all animals, one where we’re all the opposite sex and another where we’re all probably rocks with googly eyes glued onto us! Despite the differences the one thing that stays consistent is the formulaic structure of the world. This is what we call the “multiverse” and sometimes, one universe can overlap with another and that’ll cause a glitch in the matrix. How do we fix this? Let’s jump in and find out:

Miraculous World

*Paris:Shadybug and Claw Noir-Formerly called “Into the Re-verse”, this special takes place in “Paris, France”😉. More importantly, after the events of “Destruction” (love the continuity there, keep it up, don’t disappoint us) where Monarch, in his desperate attempt to escape, forced Cat Noir to cataclysm his arm. Adrien was shoken up by it as he could’ve killed someone, Marinette was feeling unsure of her situation with failing to save the Kwami’s and Gabe was lamenting about how to deal with his life now having a short time limit which would eventually lead to him making drastic measures as we saw in Season 5. It gets more complicated when Ayla suddenly transforms into Ubiquity, a kamikotized superhero who can open portals to multiple universes through her cape, and meets Betterfly (the English Dub of Hesperia) who saves Marinette from Shadybug and Claw Noir who are after his miraculous! Now, Betterfly teams up with Ladybug and Cat Noir while Shady and Claw team up with Monarch! Don! Don! Don!

Pros:

The Reverse Alignment-Everything is backwards! Our heroes in here are the dastardly duo with a cold and vicious emo aesthetic (as such, I will refer to Shadybugs alter ego as “Emonette” and Claw Noirs as “Emodrien”) and the villain is the humble hero who’s all big smiles and righteousness using the Butterfly Miraculous for good intentions like its supposed. Wow! (AU Gabe/Betterfly even got his own theme song opening before the Miraculous World openings!! XD). Although, it’s not all backwards (see Con below), AU Alya, Nino and Max (was that Max on a computer screen digitized or a robot version of him swapped with AU Markov? Idk?) are still the good natured people we know, they’re just aiding Betterfly (as this universes Resistance) since he’s the good guy in that world. Despite being the hopeful hero, AU Gabe is still unfortunately a neglectful parent to Emodrien, but that’s only cuz it’s how Marinette/Ladybug has to reluctantly make weird excuses and run off to save the world disappointing their loved ones. Classic superhero angst. The “love square” for Emonette/Shadybug and Emodrien/Claw Noir is vastly different from our OG love square. They can’t stand each other, but reluctantly work together! In this case, Emonette/Emodrien is a reverse Adrienette (on his side), Shadyclaw is a mutual hate (he calls her cockroach), Emonette/Claw Noir would be an open unrequited crush on Claws side and Shadrien would be a mutual hate too. So, is this a “hate square” now? Judging by what we heard from Shadybug (see Con below), we could guess how the AU love square isn’t the same or as reversed as much as we thought it was. Wish we could’ve gotten to see the rest of the cast reversed. I had a little theory on that https://www.tumblr.com/whenimgoodandready/730004586659725312/miraculous-paristales-of-shadybug-and-claw-noir but due to the limited time we had and the plot to get through, we the fandom can only imagine. Oh well! That’s the fun part!😁.

New Transformations-In addition to seeing Alya become Ubiquity, she was dressed all in purple with a galactic theme and her cape being the highlight of the look that had the most effect what with the portal traveling, our heroes got kamikotized (the good counterpart to akumatized) to become other hero types like how Cat Noir became Celesticat and Ladybug became Ladybiquity! Celesticat was like this all white archangel type that saved Betterfly and Ladybug with his flight. Before Ladybiquity, Ladybug became Ladyfly (with AU Gabe’s miraculous) and looked amazing as a red/purple glossy ladybug with wings! Ladybiquity was the best as she had long purple pigtails and glowing white spots that made her travel through multiple dimensions. Betterfly also became Guardian Angel with Ladybugs highly elaborate plan to help stop Monarch from attacking them. He was another all white angelic type, but mostly covered in feathers. He looked alright.

More Universes-In addition to the good guys are evil and vice versa, we got other universes of The Quantic Universe such as:The Scarabella and Kitty Noir Universe, The PV Universe (😁), The Comic Book Universe (Lol! That was funny!) and the Mister Bug and Ladynoir Universe! Although brief, it was all fun to see (wish we got more though). Lol! Monarch thought if he couldn’t get his universes heroes miraculouses, he’ll try others (w/ the clock ticking for him, I don’t blame him. The man is f*cking desperate!), but even in those universes, Ladybiquity (and Ubiquity Noir in the last universe) stopped him. It just goes to show that no matter what universe Monarch goes to, he’ll never win! Ha! Ha! :P……..(remembers the Season 5 ending of the show) OH F*CK!😠

Cons:

The Supreme-WHO THE F*CK IS THAT!? THERE’S NO “SUPREME” IN OUR UNIVERSE!? WHERE DID THEY COME FROM!? WHO IS IT!? WHAT IS IT!? AN EVIL VERSION OF MASTER FU!? WTF!? It was like this “invisible force thingy” that controlled everything the miraculouses did! From giving Shady and Claw unlimited use of their powers (and being more effective in a destructive sense. Claw was immune to Cats cataclysm!😱) to silencing the Kwami’s mouths shut! THEY EVEN CONTROL THE USE OF COMBINING THE LADYBUG AND BLACK CAT MIRACULOUSES! DON! DON DON! Yea! Like that! The Supreme just didn’t want someone to be more powerful than them (Emonette/Shadybug tried to use the two Miraculouses to have Marinettes life). The Supreme was even slowly killing the two of ‘em too just to drain them of their energy. Whoever this “Supreme” is, they’re an all mighty evil being that’s power hungry and doesn’t like competition. Saaaay! Was that the “strange glowing blue light” we saw at the end of Season 5 that scared the sh*t outta Lila/Cerise/Iris? Hmmmmm.

Identical Chloe-It seems as though even in an alternate universe ((mumbles under breath) and maybe even in the others we briefly saw), Chloe is STILL a mega b*tch! (Astruc must really hate this girl!😖). Is AU Chloe worse in this universe!? Is she emo too!? IS THERE NO UNIVERSE WHERE SHE’S A F*CKING DECENT PERSON!? (neighs like a horse) Guess we had to have some reason for Emonette to turn evil!? It wasn’t just AU Chloe though, other things pushed Emonette to her limit that made her cross over to the dark side and AU Chloe was just one of ‘em. As explained by Emonette, those other things that turned her were a lack of encouraging friends, a non loving and caring mother and being painfully single. Yeah, that oughta do it too! It’s why she wanted to use her combined miraculous with Claws to switch lives with Marinette and finally be happy. Poor girl 😢

So this was our “Spider-verse” esque special and how canonly that universe works. We’ve had our own versions (see my link above) where maybe Shadybug and Claw Noir would be a villainous flirty couple (like how I wanted), or that the love square would be reversed from our own, but this is what we got, Emodrien/Claw Noir only loving Emonette (probably cuz he found someone with the same sense of style/culture whom he can relate his pain to) and Emonette/Shadybug loving nobody! (the reason Emonette never fell for Emodrien is because she assumed he was exactly like AU Chloe and Emodrien was too shy to even talk to her!). From the intell we got, we can piece together why this is the way it is:Both of ‘em suffered terribly from their experiences (Emonette from AU Chloe’s bullying and etc. (see Con above) and Emodrien from losing his mother) just like their good counterparts, but they didn’t have supportive friends (or a loving parent/wise guardian Master Fu) to help them cope and move on and because of that, they became miserable, lonely, insecure, broken and hopeless and thus got influenced by The Supreme when they sensed the teens negative energy to become ruthless villains that lash out at the city and each other. Marinette/Ladyfly had to talk some sense into Shady by telling her to never give up hope and be a better person. As for Gabe/Betterfly, my theory was correct that like OG Adrien, he learned to move on and continue to be happy and try to be a good parent to Emodrien, but Emodrien, like OG Gabe/Monarch, did not. Glad I guessed that!👍. It took Adrien/Cat Noir to encourage him to move on and be happy by making friends like “their” mother wanted. The universe they came from was ruled tyrannically by The Supreme who hoarded all the miraculouses that no one knew the existence of and AU Gabe was at first siding with The Supreme and given the Butterfly and Peacock Miraculouses (you get where this is goin’) and so then he became the first superhero to fight against them (and prove that a better life is possible) and Shadybug and Claw Noir whom The Supreme recruited to capture him and get back the Butterfly Miraculous. Everyone is running scared af (did you see how scared AU Nino was!?) over there where it got so bad that the AU Resistance was formed to help Betterfly. Seriously though, who the f*ck is this Supreme!? Why do they have all the miraculouses!? Where’s Master Fu in that universe!? Or the guardians!? Why are they so damn powerful!? Can anyone tell me that!? Are we gonna get more info on this or are we just supposed to theorize again? Huh!? Fortunately, Shadybug and Claw Noir were redeemed (now called (AU) Ladybug and Paw Noir and maybe starting a romantic relationship😏) and are now gonna help Betterfly save their universe from The Supreme. Good luck with that! That sh*ts gonna be tough to beat! My apologies on this review taking forever cuz life got in the way (and I was lazy), but I’m relieved I finally got it done and will see you all for the London special and Season 6 (with its new animation) later this year!

[tanxiang-genshin-pokemon]

Ok, let’s see here, how am I going to do this…oh, I got it!

Hey everyone, my name is Tánxiāng Rambelgard! My mom is half Liyuese and half Inazuman, and my dad is half Mondstater and half Snezhnayan! We live in a village in a sort of weird neutral zone between a few regions, partly because dad’s alcohol business may not have been the most, um, legal? Anyway, we’re nearer to Sumeru and I got to study at the Akademiya!

I study Pokemonology, similar to one of the other me’s in the rotomblr multiverse, so I am somewhat like what you guys would call a Professor. I still don’t really know what they are, but I just know they’re called Pokemon

Pokemon kinda just showed up out of nowhere and I figured that, if I could study them, I would either make a name for my family or create a new field of study, like how architecture and biology are fields of work and study. I managed to get it to be considered a crossway between about half of the six Darshans, but the way these creatures are basically caused a BIG fight between, um, almost all the sages. Biology/Amurta, Spantamad/Alchemy and Ley Lines, and Aetiology/Vahumana kinda didn’t know what to make of this new, well, thing. None of the sages did. Since I was “new blood”, passed an entry exam, and was just lucky enough to have kinda befriended one, I think it’s a Sylvee? I don’t know, I’m just going by the sounds they make. But all that kinda made the sages put me in charge of this with help from one student from each school/Darshan until this fully settles into one or two categories instead of being in this weird ambiguous mess.

Definitely feel out of place being the daughter of what’s basically a liquor-runner and a former teahouse tea-farmer in a group of people who had parents with some expectations of them getting higher education outside of trade work. Yes, my mom was a tea-farmer for a teahouse.

//OOC under the cut

So, her personality is that she’s extremely friendly, sometimes unnervingly so. She just grew up with watching her family go through a lot and so anyone she considers “safe”, basically meaning they’re not friends but she knows or perceives them as being accepting and possible sources of assistance in a time of need, or a friend or ally, she wants to at least help when she can, though it’s usually food related. She is very observant and her “singing ear”/left ear can pick up on one’s pulse just by being within normal conversation proximity, wanted there to be a backup explanation for why she knows what she does.

Her service cat is based on my very real service cat, just slightly more exaggerated for entertainment purposes.

Characters she has deemed “safe” or allies: Diluc, AlHaitham, Kaveh, Tighnari and all associated with him, and Candace. “Allies”: Amber, Jean, Zhongli, Cyno, and most of the anemo and geo vision holders in general, she just vibes with them. “Friends”: razor, lisa, kinda Kaeya, and Gaming. Everyone else she is friendly but uncertain about for one reason or another.

Suggestive is ok, no overtly nsfw, no underage ships just on principle, minirs dni suggestive content.

Ok, so this is set right after the vison hunt decree was made, and therefore AlHaitham is not the Grand Sage and is still the Scribe, Zhongli is still Morax, Fontaine is still in danger, BUT the Stormterror threat is gone.

I am working with a canon without The Traveler purely because the timeline is not the most well defined and I am just not dealing with that.

I won’t do a crossover rp unless initiated, otherwise it will be treated as a normal genshin rp.

No teams, but I will keep Sylph the sylveon, Kagehime the umbreon, and Joan the eevee as each consistent AU “team”. I used the Chinese word for Sandalwood because Sandalo is spanish for sandalwood and is part of the scientific name for the tree.

I will be referring to the different Pokemon by their cries in the anime because obviously people in Teyvat, just having the things show up, wouldn’t know what these are

[fossinating]

Ngl Im not a big fan of how quickly everything ended

(Spoilers below)

Like they kinda just said “oh yeah Gaia can shoot through his chest now despite them shooting at each other for several minutes”

Also I find it funny that despite this being marketed as a more dark and serious spy show they end it with a big superhero flight battle with every power we’ve seen yet

Also the idea that they both suddenly have full control over hundreds of powers is goofy to me

Idk I just feel like this would’ve been a lot more satisfying if it had a longer finale

Also Ross’s comment to Rhodes of “how long have you been here” is kinda just a sad way of them trying to pull in the question that we’re supposed to have of how long have the skrulls been around, but based on the timeline I’m understanding it’s been at most like 1-2 years or however long it’s been since the blip. Which like I can get how that could be a big deal but we’ve seen him what like once in that whole time ?

I feel like the show should’ve done more and could’ve been a bigger deal but they kinda just stuck to a pattern of killing someone at the end of each episode

And speaking of killing people i really wish they had made a bigger deal out of the skrulls rebelling against gravik in last episode

Because they kinda just had it in a scene then didn’t mention it again aside from fury seeing the bodies

Like it’d be cool if the rest of the skrulls had more of a hand in defeating gravik

Im really curious to see where it goes from here, I saw people saying that the marvels is supposed to carry on the story but I have no clue where it’s supposed to fit in

Anyways overall I really am starting to agree that the mcu is starting to lose steam, of course here I am staying up til 4 am to watch it anyways but recently content has seemed poorly planned. I’ve said it for a while but marvel really needs to take a step back and plan out the rest of the content in more detail, not letting individual directors make significant changes to the direction of the universe since it results in issues like what happened with Wanda in multiverse of madness. Also cgi workers need to unionize so we can get some actually quality cgi and also so we stop relying on cgi for everything when it could be done much better with practical effects even if it’s more expensive. Basically tldr of my stance on the mcu currently is just they need to slow the fuck down and put some time into planning the direction and character arcs of various characters instead of letting character arcs get butchered by constant changes in director

Also last note, on the whole people expecting cameos thing, yeah it would’ve been cool if we had daisy or Mack come back but while I hate to admit it, it isn’t gonna happen, they were always very specific about agents of shield being one-way canon, especially with all the time travel weirdness that happened at the end of the show

Tumblr Fic Masterlist

Ratings system reflects that used on AO3:

G - General Audience - A kid could read this, but it doesn't mean they'd enjoy it.

T - Teen - Roughly PG-13.

M - Mature - What it says on the tin: This is a maturity call.  Sometimes may be sexual content (non-explicit; fade-to-black), sometimes graphic violence, often we're just dealing with some literally dark themes here.

Where a fic is labeled as Mature, the reasoning will be included.      Sexual content means definitely they make out but in vague-ish terms.      Graphic sexual content means someone is literally touching boobies.           It does not mean smut.  I do not write smut.      Either one can mean fade-to-black situations, but not always.           Sometimes it's honestly just heavy making out, vague terms or not.

THERE ARE NO EXPLICIT FICS ON THIS BLOG.      I do not write explicit sexual content.      I do not write smut.      All sexual situations eventually fade to black.           Some just take longer than others. Triggers are not mentioned on this page but are found in the fic proper.      Some chapters of fics are more triggering than others, etc.

The Thrall of Decades:

Kisses Through The Decades The world is full of various shades of grey - charcoal, smoke, silver, ash, pewter, steel, iron, and so on.  For all the black and white, there is relatively little of that.  Agnes’s hair trends as dark a grey as the world allows, but even it isn’t a pure black.  The closest to that is the ribbon tied tight around her waist, accenting the narrowness of it, the hourglass shape of her.  Wanda’s hands have found that waist far too many times to count at this point, if only to usher her out of the kitchen when she’s stayed - not past her welcome, because that sounds rude, but…well, past her welcome. Problem being, of course, that the more Wanda guides her by the waist out of the kitchen and through the back door, the more her hands find a proper place there.

The Nature of Soulmates You remember the faintest flickering of flame. There’s a shimmer to it, soft, in the middle of your chest - a wholly lavender glow, threaded through with a deeper, darker violet, and when it flicks here and there, as flames are wont to do, the tips turn a thick, clotted black.  If you concentrate just past the bright lavender in the center of it, you can almost make out the shape of an open hand, fingers that same inky blackness sketching webbing in your skin, and beyond that, the image of a face with features that you can’t make out, with haunted eyes with deep ashen bags beneath them, and with hair of a much warmer shade flickering, like flame, in a faint breeze that you cannot feel. For a moment, you consider that the face, though determined and sad, seems beautiful. Then you wake. Agatha Harkness/Reader Wanda Maximoff/Reader Soulmate AU Incomplete start here

A Sea Psalm for a Penitent Soul:      Rating: M for adult themes.

Prelude Agnes was never supposed to exist. Even in those first few seconds, feeling your jaw move despite your trying to clench it shut, feeling it snap the bones of your concept of self while maintaining the physical presence of them, as Agnes calls Wanda hot stuff– You reach up to fiddle with your brooch except you don’t reach up to fiddle with your brooch no matter how much you try to make your arm move because Agnes doesn’t want to fiddle with your brooch so you can’t fiddle with your brooch. You scratch and claw at the imperceptible– You can’t even do that because whatever the essence of you is in this moment has no hands, has no mouth, cannot scream. Wanda’s grief weighs you with every nothing you have, your only anchor when waves of worth come to you, ripping them one by one until you remember how worthless you are. It’s hard to maintain panic when you realize that maybe this is what you deserve. Being the Prologue - the Framing Device - for a series meant to explore Agatha Harkness, who she is, who she was, and how she came to Westview.

Stanza One: Paved with Good Intentions When Agatha Harkness is barely ten years old, she witnesses the trial - and execution - of a woman who’d looked after her since she was a baby.  As accusations from outsiders fly and as Agatha struggles with controlling her own dark magic, the world she knows and depends on is ripped out from under her.

Glass Onion Fam Fluff:

Birdie Dresses Claire Because someone has to get Claire out of all that beige, and who better than the fam’s fantastic fashionista? Rating: T for brief (non-sexual) nudity.

Essence Something in the center of Claire’s chest tightens.  Maybe she was wrong.  When he said people like us, he must have just thought she was gay, not like him.  Maybe she shouldn’t have– He smiles.  “Hey, Claire.  Nice to finally meet you.”  Then he leans up, brushes a hand through her too short hair, and, without hesitation, kisses her. It’s the first time she’s ever been kissed in her life.  None of the others count, because they weren’t kissing her. This is the first one that does. Rating: T.

Happy? Birthday? Claire? Claire doesn’t want a birthday party and tells Birdie so. Rating: T.

Multichapter Fics:

Fragments of Color If the world is black and white, Agnes sticks out like a thorn-pricked thumb, blood pricking scarlet from skin otherwise drained of life, and Wanda aches to suck the venom from her veins, unaware that it would be useless to try. WandaVision rewrite Wanda Maximoff/Agatha Harkness; Wanda Maximoff/Vision Rating: T. Incomplete

Be Mine, Valentine The first time Claire Valentine laid eyes on Eve Mackie, she knew she was in love. Of course, the first time Claire saw Eve, she was all of six years old, a tiny little scrap of a thing in a body that didn’t feel quite so uncomfortable yet, in skin that didn’t feel quite so stretched thin.   She wasn’t even Claire yet; sometimes she took her mother’s name out and tried it on the same way that you or I might pull out fine china for special occasions (or our most favorite hoodie on rainy days when we just want to crawl back into bed and cover our head), but it never fit just right. Over the years, Claire expected that Eve forgot about her.  Forgot that they’d almost been married, forgot that she’d promised to be Mrs. Valentine.  She tried to forget about her, too, just like she tried to be anyone other than Claire, to fit into the skin that her father sketched out for her.  But the more she tried, the thinner it grew, until she felt like she was splitting. Then her parents died, and everything changed. Agave Stuff AU Claire Debella/Eve Fletcher Rating: Undetermined; likely T or above. start here

Stolen Agatha said that Wanda's spell was flawed.  If she'd been a better witch, if she'd known her craft, then she could have created the boys - recreated Vision - separate from the spell that maintained the Hex.  After everything, Wanda is willing to let Vision rest, but she wants her boys back. But when Wanda finishes the spell, there's something else missing: a certain nosy next-door neighbor who had become what she'd considered her best friend before everything fell apart. She won't let the spell be flawed this time. Everything will be perfect. Even Agnes. Canon-Compliant/Post-Canon to WandaVision; Ignores DSMOM.

indie, selective, single-muse and heavily canon divergent blog for a GABRIELLA O'HARA // DARK WEB. no password required. mutuals only. SIDEBLOG. follows from @novaragno.

                           penned by NØX.   (   + 21.   she // her.   animation student.   )

A STUDY IN: david vs goliath, loss of innocence, derealization, being alone in the multiverse, hunting down the monster under your bed. SHORT ABOUT.

✧ oo. GOLDEN RULE.

IF YOU DON'T LOVE ME AT MY OC, YOU DON'T DESERVE ME AT MY CANON. this meaning, if you throw yourself at my canon muses only and ignore my ocs, this tell me that 1) you don't really care about my writing in the first place and 2) i'm just here to fill a spot, and i refuse that. THIS BLOG IS MEDIUM TO LOW ACTIVITY in favor for my oc.

✧ o1. asks & threads.

If you want to make a plotted thread, y'all just need to hit me up ! Be it on my DMs or Discord ( that I only give to close mutuals ), if you send something I should answer it pretty fast. And if you want to continue a thread based on an ask, there is no problem with that, no need to ask !

✧ o2. roleplay memes.

I do reblog karma here ! This means that I would prefer that you reblog a meme on my blog from the source ! I do not like the notification clogging it does ! I am BEGGING you to reblog both memes and musing posts FROM THE SOURCE. It’s such a pet peeve of mine. Since many people tend to do that, I have decided that after 3 times someone reblogs a meme from me ( instead of the source ) without sending any, I will softblock said person. This rule does not apply if the source of the meme is broken.

✧ o3. language & grammar.

English is my third language, so be ready, there might be some spelling errors and mistakes, heck, there might be some on this page only ! You might find some posts in italian or french.

✧ o4. godmodding.

is of course non-authorized. Killing my muse without so much of a warning and us plotting beforehand will make me automatically drop the thread. METAGAMING unless warned or talked about before is also non-authorized.

✧ o5. art & credits.

The art used on this blog for graphics will come from official sources ( such as the spider verse movie & the river city girls official artworks ).

✧ o6. crossover & ocs.

Both are great ! Usually if you have an about page, you’re already halfway good to go. For crossovers, I have to know the universe your muse is from / you gotta have a verse I can work with, as for OCs, I love OCs to bits and I’ve been an advocate for ocs since 2016.

✧ o7. shipping & nsfw.

I am more than okay with shipping, if of course we’re both on the same page about it. One-sided crushes can happen, both from your character and mine, but if the feelings are unrequited I will not push you for a relationship nor should you expect yourself to do the same towards me. MY MUSE IS UNDER 18 AND SO NO SMUT WILL BE WRITTEN ON THIS BLOG. however, suggestive is fine. I WILL BLOCK YOU IF I SEE YOU SHIP ADULTS AND MINORS i'm not playing.

✧ o8. Blacklist & triggers.

I have very little squeaks, however I understand that others do. If you need anything tagged, tell me so !

✧ o9. AI art.

I WILL BLOCK YOU IF I SEE YOU USING AI-GENERATED ART. if you are unaware of the problems ai-generated material causes for the art industry, be it illustrators, writers or animators, i implore you to educate yourself on the matter. as someone who would like to enter the industry one day, THIS IS A DEAL BRAKER TO ME. i understand the curiousity and wanting to do it recreationaly, however, BE AWARE that those do cause harm too and feed the machine.

PLEASE TAG YOUR INTERACTIONS WITH MAE // FOXTAIL // SERA // GORE AND PAPAYA // AXOLOLT // GLORY. Their presence is pretty triggering for me. Thank you ! Their URL is enough. I WILL ALSO NOT INTERACT WITH PROSHIPPERS. if we're friends & i find out you're a weirdo, i don't care how long we've been friends, IT'S ON SIGHT AND I WILL NOT BE COVERING YOUR ASS EITHER. i'm a recovering survivor of grooming and abuse and i do not wish to be exposed to that kind of content nor people who actively get off it, and that is my right.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR LACK OF COMMUNICATION. as a roleplay partner and friend, i try to be as communicative as possible, and i believe that enjoyable interactions, be it ic or ooc, reside on all parties communicating their needs and wants. IF YOU FAIL TO DO YOUR PART, THAT IS NOT MY FAULT. don't be wishy washy about it, i take things at face value; give me CLEAR STATEMENTS.

[anatthema-art]

Hey! Finally thought I’d give a big ol infodump about my character for this campaign because I’ve been posting a lot of Eric art and most recently art of Eric AND Blythe, and realized it might be worthwhile to have somewhere I can point towards fans of the cartoon to explain what is going on between them since until recently all my Blythe stuff has been self contained to OCs so I never gave any indication this was connected to the DnD Cartoon.

First order of business: this post is about Song of Six Blythe. Blythe has two iterations that I switch between posting art of frequently. The one with the long hair and yellow scars? Not who we’re talking about. That Blythe is from (in EXTREMELY simplified terms without the insane amount of context) a novel my friend is writing! The two Blythes do have a level of canonical crossover, since the multiverse is real in Song of Six, but most of that is either inconsequential to SoS Blythe as a whole or is entirely postcanon so I’m not touching it here.

With that outta the way: Blythe! Blythe is an Aetheril (homebrew ghosty race) Oathbreaker Paladin / Hexblade Warlock multiclass. E/Em/Eirs and They/them pronouns!

Blythe also happens to be from The Kingdom of Zinn. Which, I say as a refresher for Bubbly’s OG post, Eric has since inherited the throne of. The larger mystery of what’s going on with Zinn is currently a big mystery point in the campaign so I as the player do not have all the information here yet. But Eric has been on the throne for about a decade now, and Blythe is very young (21), so they have little memory of a time before that.

The Zinn military is currently extremely expansive. We don’t quite know exactly WHY yet, there’s been a lot of implications that Eric is extremely paranoid. But regardless, the Zinn military is very much… a rich military kid’s idea of what the army looks like. It’s… kind of a mess. There’s also a whole thing where Zinn Paladins get this star-shaped symbol branded into their skin just below their collarbone as they swear their oaths. It’s also the symbol on all of the Zinn armour! (hence why I replaced the design on Eric’s shield, sorry hardcore purist fans it was for plot reasons) Eric doesn’t actually KNOW about the symbols by the way. He has it too, but that was given to him by Dungeon Master. He assumed it was only him branded with it. BUBBLYTARTS has refused to tell me WHY Eric doesn’t know that all Zinn paladins get the marks, or the reason for them, but once again that’s a wider campaign mystery that I cannot answer yet as this is a game with a lot of mysteries.

Regardless, the Zinn military is an utter mess, and Blythe went into it at age 18 because eir mother is a retired veteran and e didn’t have a ton of idea what to do with eir life. It… wasn’t a great environment from the start, pretty standard toxic army stuff. But it got worse about a year later in which I have to be EXTREMELY vague about this because UNFORTUNATELY MY FELLOW PLAYERS ARE READING THIS AND THIS IS CURRENTLY SPOILERS FOR MY CHARACTER STUFF.

IN SUMMATION: a really fucked up monster attacked the city and the Zinn Paladins were called in to deal with it. Someone Blythe is very close to died during the attack and Blythe failed to save them. Blythe’s memory is very fuzzy here due to the trauma blackouts and how fast it all happened so e’s kinda convinced e was RESPONSIBLE for this death. The officials at Zinn pinned the blame for the death on Blythe, and Blythe was declared a criminal. E fled the kingdom with bounties on eir head and Zinn soldiers on eir tail, all while being wracked with grief and guilt over the death of this person. During this incident, Blythe, who was formerly an Oath of Redemption Paladin, being a wide-eyed idealist and hoping that swearing the path of redemption would help em be able to fix all of Untoril’s problems, broke eir oath out of the disillusionment and spite they felt.

While this incident has little to do with Eric himself, Blythe blames him responsible for ruining eir life, as ruler of the kingdom. E has a massive grudge against Zinn and its higher ups, and has spent two years scraping by and town-hopping to try and avoid detection from the Zinn military and wallowing in self misery and pity.

E’s also been haunted by a mysterious ghost. Aetheril have the ability to see ghosts, but this specific ghost has been latched onto Blythe since the incident, lurking behind their shoulder, just out of their field of view, sometimes being able to catch a glimpse as they turn their head. This ghost is… very clearly the person they care about, but due to a combination of guilt of “they would be mad at me for killing them” (e is still under the impression Zinn’s narrative that e was responsible is true), denial over the death in the first place, and a liiittle bit of False Hydra memory fog keeping em complacent in questioning, e hasn’t figured that out yet until recently. In a few sessions the identity of this ghost is going to be fully revealed and Blythe will be able to perceive them again, and they will be following Blythe, acting as their Hexblade Warlock patron, and an NPC for the party to interact with and the like.

So far, in campaign, Blythe has begun to lift themselves out of the pit of nihilism and apathy they had been in for the last few years due to the help of the party giving them a new outlet for genuine human connection, and the progress they have made in recruiting 3/6 of the original party has helped them feel less hopeless. They’ve also gotten a girlfriend (Danni, another member of the party), made close friends with the party bard (Don), and been given a promise that e can leave Untoril into the wider multiverse when this is all over. So eir mental state has improved considerably, and due to the revelations about Dungeon Master’s motives, the seeds of doubt have been planted in eir mind on whether Eric is truly the bad guy here, or if he’s just another victim of Dungeon Master’s meddling.

Eventually, Blythe is going to go through a character design update (In a few sessions when we get to Waterdeep). Usually this is the Blythe I draw if I’m specifically doing something Song of Six related (unless it’s explicitly in the timeline before that point). The haircut is what e wore eir hair as back in the Zinn military, and e’s also going to begin actively showing off the Zinn symbol as an act of reclamation in addition to the hair (and also get some sick ass piercings and jewlery to balance out the colour palette)

By the time we get to Zinn, Blythe will have gone through the character development to properly confront their wrongly pinned blame, and, presumably to the events of the Zinn arc, e will come to terms fully with the reality of the situation and begin to sympathize with Eric more.

AAAAND it turns out, that yes, two people molded into being perceived as the bad guy due to unjust circumstances out of their control, along with a plethora of other things, will make these two realize they relate to each other a LOT. Eric is going to need an anchor to normalcy, an escape from the pressures of the abnormal life he’s lived for a decade. And the man has… just SO MANY PARENTAL ISSUES. And Blythe’s family, once e reunites with them, is one of the most loving and accepting down-to-earth group of people Eric has ever met. So they begin to see each other as siblings over time (This is likely mostly in the postcanon space? Though I imagine the foundations of it will form in campaign.)

And that’s where we get to the dynamic I’ve been brainrotting over with these two. Eric was once someone Blythe saw as the root of eir problems, a scapegoat to avoid addressing the roots of Untoril’s problems. E swore revenge and wanted nothing more than for him to be dead. And now they both see each other as equals. Siblings, even. They share a strange but healing bond, an outlet for Eric to be normal and someone Blythe ends up breaking the cycle of violence with. Dungeon Master hurt Eric and he ended up being seen as the villain. E won’t let emself become the villain too.

Me and Bubbly have been nonstop RP-ing these two’s postcanon dynamic. They’re silly, goofy, constantly at each other’s throats in a sibling-banter way, and share a deep understanding of each other’s traumas. They’re healing. And I love them.

I need to emphasize I have as of now, not seen a single episode of the DnD cartoon. I have read the new Saturday Morning Adventures comics (which is what I base my Eric design on), and between those and Sonf of Six, Eric is rapidly becoming a massive blorbo for me so uh…

YEAH HOPE THE WHOLE 5 PEOPLE IN THIS FANDOM ENJOY ME INVADING YOUR TAGS WITH MY SILLY LITTLE ERIC ART THANK YOU ALL I LOVE YOU AND THIS TRASH BOY.

Song of Six

Better known as the Dungeons and Dragons Cartoon DnD Game

So I have been bullied (not really) into explaining the DnD campaign I’m running

Back in 1983, there was a Saturday morning cartoon themed around Dungeons and Dragons. That cartoon ran for three seasons, and then was cancelled before the final episode was released officially.

I made a campaign based around this pitch: “Ten years ago, a group of children from Earth were sent to a mysterious realm. They were to be heroes. They didn’t do that. They never came home. You are a group of people gathered by Dungeon Master to find the original heroes, and convince them to save the world.”

That world is called Untoril. It’s a… strange version of the Forgotten Realms (thus the name being “Un-Toril”). It’s full of characters you know, but altered by this world and its struggles. Characters from the Drizzt novels, the 2023 DnD movie, Baldur’s Gate 3, and of course the DnD cartoon all interact.

The party is a group of six people - two from Untoril, 4 from Earth - and a young woman named Sarah

(Sarah is a character I created based off of the Dragons of Stormwreck Isle tie-in miniatures from Wizkids. The other figures in that set were Hank, Diana, Eric, and Presto from the cartoon. I thought it was odd to package an entirely new character with them, and made lore out of it.)

So

The campaign is the six players plus Sarah traveling across Untoril, looking for the cartoon characters.

So far they have found three of them: Sheila was working with Jarlaxle and his guild; Bobby was a friend of Holga Kilgore and Edgin Darvis and working as a gladiator in Neverwinter; and Presto was studying under the archmage Mordenkainen

They still have yet to find Diana (who is missing), Eric (who is the king of the kingdom of Zinn), and Hank (who they have recently learned is the leader of the rebellion against Dungeon Master).

Oh yeah. Dungeon Master is the BBEG

It’s a campaign about celebrating the vast lore of Dungeons and Dragons, while still trying to lay rest to this version of the world that never got to finish its story.

The campaign tagline is literally “Every story deserves an ending”

And that’s the whole point. In addition to helping the cartoon kids get back home, the party is helping Untoril heal. It’s a revolution campaign

There’s also a giant monster lurking underneath the world that’s slowly manipulating everyone’s memories into forgetting there are problems in the first place (gotta love a good False Hydra)

I could elaborate more on the actual SESSIONS or THEMES or CHARACTERS but that would make this a much longer post and I’m typing this on my phone lol. But my asks are open!

I love this game. I’m very proud of it. And I’m very glad everyone is enjoying it so much

I’m gonna tag them so they see this :)

“Where are we going?” America asked the sorcerer yet again only to remain without an answer. The young girl followed closely behind the man who was on a mission to find someone. Stephen came to a stop in front of an apartment complex, his eyes locating the window of her apartment.

“Stephen?” Both heads snapped in the direction of a woman’s voice; Stephen’s pulse increased the longer he stared at her. He forgot how beautiful she truly was and seeing her alternate self with his own eyes opened the floodgates of memories.

“Y/N.”

“I-I thought you died?” Y/N swallowed the lump in her throat, tightening the grip on the straps of her purse. Her Stephen had died a while back so seeing this man in front of her apartment building caught her off guard. 

“Apparently I am in this universe but in mine, you are.” Stephen took a couple steps towards her to cup her face in the palm of his hand. Y/N held onto his forearm, nuzzling into the warmth of his touch with her eyes closed. 

“I don’t have long here Y/N-”

“Can’t you stay a little while longer, you just showed up?” Y/N and Stephen’s vision became blurred from the tears that threatened to fall; both of them longing to stay in each other’s presence. Stephen pressed his lips on her forehead like he always did when he used to tell her goodbye.

“Sadly, I can’t. I have to find my way back to my universe to deal with something urgent.”

“Is there anything I could do to help while you’re here?” They both stared at each other, Stephen still caressed her face in his hand, brushing his thumb against her cheek. 

“No, I can’t let you do that. In my universe, you died helping me and I’m not dragging you in the middle of all of this.” 

“Stephen-”

“I came here to see if you were alive and you are. You have no idea how much I want to stay here with you but I can’t.” 

America turned to look away from the pair as they shared their moment together on the empty sidewalk. She could see how much pain those two are in just by the look on their faces.

“There are so many things that I never got to say and the relationship we both had was far from perfect but I love you, I always will love you Y/N.” Stephen needed to get those words off his chest for so long, little did he know Y/N also had some things to say.

“You are the most hot headed, sarcastic, loving person I know Stephen Strange and sometimes I wanted to strangle you with my bare hands but I love you. Always and f-”

“Forever. Maybe the both of us were unlucky in our respective universe and hopefully somewhere out there we’re both living the life we dreamed of. ” Y/N tiptoed to plant a kiss on his cheek and pulled away from him.

“If there’s a universe where we’re both happy together, I hope they cherish the time spent with each other. Since I can’t help, please be safe.”

“No promises.” Y/N’s eyes fell on the young girl that tried to occupy herself off to the side.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t get your name. I’m Y/N and you are?”

“America.” The young girl shook Y/N’s outstretched hand, smiling at her.

“Look after him for me please.”

“I will.” Y/N stepped to the side so that they could get going, Stephen took hold of her hand as he walked past drawing her attention.

“Take care of yourself for me.”

“Always.” With a final squeeze of her hand, Stephen took two steps forward slowly releasing her hand from his. Their fingertips brushed together upon release and they both felt their heart sink in their chest yet again. 

Y/N stayed put watching as the two of them headed for the corner. Stephen looked back at her, waving his hand goodbye and she did the same.

“Goodbye Doctor Stephen Strange.”
