Agitation 3.1 Live Reactions

(This is me, writing reactions as I read, because why the fuck not. They're not complete, mature thoughts taken after I sit back and evaluate what I've read. Consider them as such)

Bank Job Arc LET'S GOOOOOO!

(I Think?)

There was something appealing about being out and about before the city had woken up. 

There are many things I'll never be able to relate to wrt Taylor, I'm sure, some already, but this

Yeah. this has to be on top of that list. Becoming a warlord villain of the city? Sure what the fuck I'm all for that.

Liking being out and about at an ungodly hour? Fuck that noise.

It was like Brockton Bay was a ghost town, in a good way.

Taylor? One question:

What The Fuck?

 In February, Sophia had goaded some boys into trying to catch me, I think the goal had been to duct tape me to a telephone pole. I had escaped, helped mostly by the fact that the boys hadn’t really cared enough to run after me,

Huh. So that actually happened. I figured the fic I read here they do catch her (and then she accidentally goes wild with the Swarm, etc) just had that written as Sophia doing an escalation she didn't do in canon.

Christ, that bitch is just... someone really needs to stab Sophia. A lot.

(Like, yes, I can grant it's... not great when the story has so few black people and one of them is Sophia and she's written like... that, but still. Sophia - fucked up and vile)

Three and a half months had burned away the body fat, leaving me very lean, and had given me the stamina to run at a steady jog without leaving me panting for breath.

Lucky bitch. Three and a half months of jogging wouldn't do that for me.

(Maybe if I actually committed to it like she has, but I'm lazy so :rofl: )

There were only a few people out and about, which made it easy to find Brian.

Wait, you were here looking for Brian? Maybe clue is in sooner, Taytay?

“I want,” I said, then I felt dumb for the awkward lapse into caveman speak.  I blamed the early hour of the day.  To try and save face, I added, “Thanks.”

:rofl:

 “Don’t coffees there cost, like, fifteen dollars a cup?” Brian chuckled a little, “We can afford it, Taylor.”

And? Still a waste of money I'm willing to bet.

Also, like whomst the fuck, in 2011, was selling $15 coffee to go? Is Wildbow mistaking US and Canadian Dollars? Even in canada that feels like a lot for coffee?

Did Leviathan make coffee more expensive or something?

These guys were raking in thousands of dollars on a given job, and they had given me two thousand dollars up front. 

Yeah but you don't stay rich by just casually dropping $15 on your morning coffee.

I extended my arm, clenched my fist and relaxed it to demonstrate, “Only hurts when I flex it.”  I didn’t tell him that it had been hurting badly enough to cost me some sleep last night.

Trying to seem tough in front of the guy you're into, or just used to pretending she doesn't hurt as much as she does? Or both?

“Makes sense,” I said, then I added, “I read her page on the wiki.” “So you’ve got the gist of it,”

An accurate wiki!? LE GASP!

I spotted a crab scuttling across the beach almost directly below us.  I reached out with my power and stopped it in its tracks.  Though I didn’t need to, I extended my finger and pointed at it, then waved my finger lazily as I made the crab follow where my my index finger was pointing.  Since Brian and I were both leaning over the railing, and there was practically nobody on the Boardwalk that wasn’t busy with work or getting their store opened for the day, I was pretty certain nobody else would figure out what I was doing. Brian saw the crab dancing in circles and figure eights and smiled.  Conspiratorially, he leaned closer to me and whispered, “You can control crabs, too?” I nodded, feeling just a bit of a thrill at how we were huddled like this, sharing secrets while the people around us were totally in the dark.  I told him, “I used to think I could control anything with an exoskeleton or shell.  But I can control earthworms too, among other things, and they don’t have shells.  I think all it takes is that they have to have very simple brains.”

But there have to be other animals that also have simple brains she can't control? Some birds and mammals can, no?

It's time to say it again: POWERS

ARE

BULLSHIT

(I suspect I'll be saying that a lot. :rofl:)

Of course, it could be her powers run on what she conceptually thinks are bugs or buglike? Like, if she could convince herself that squirrels are bugs, could she control them?

I shook my head, “I gotta get home and get ready for school.” “Ah, right,” Brian said, “I forget about stuff like that.” “You guys don’t go?” “I take courses online,” Brian said, “My folks think it’s so I can hold a job to pay for my apartment… which is kind of true.  Alec dropped out, Rachel never went, and Lisa already applied for and tested for her G.E.D.  Cheated using her power, but she has it.”

It is kind of remarkable that Taylor doesn't just... give up on school, from what I gather she keeps going sometimes even well into her Villain career. I doubt Winslow would really care enough to reach out to Taylor's dad if she just... stopped actually attending.

“Ah,” I said, my focus more or less dwelling on the idea that Brian had an apartment.  Not the fact that Grue the successful supervillain had an apartment – Lisa had mentioned that to me – but that Brian the teenager with parents and schoolwork to focus on did.  He kept changing my frame of reference for trying to figure him out.

Villains are human and complex!

“That’s to our place,” he told me, “And I mean that.  Ours as in yours too.  You’re free to come by any time, even if nobody is there.  Kick back and watch TV, eat our food, track mud on our floor, yell at the others for tracking mud on the floor, whatever.” “Thank you,” I said, surprising myself by actually meaning it.

Well fuck. Yeah.

Fuck.

All this poor girl wants is a place to belong. A place to be welcome.

I mean, not all she wants, really, I suppose, but a huge part.

That wasn’t to say I didn’t like Lisa, but just being around her made me feel like I had the Sword of Damocles hanging over my head.

Understandable.

Heading back home and preparing for school left me with a gradually increasing feeling of dread, like a weight sitting on my chest.  I’d been trying not to think of Emma’s taunting and my fleeing from the school with tears on my face.  I had spent an hour or two tossing and turning in bed, the event replaying over my head while the throbbing of my wrist jarred me awake every time I started to drift off.  Beyond that, I had been pretty successful in avoiding thinking about it.  Now that the prospect of going back was looming, though, it was impossible not to dwell on the subject as I headed home, got ready and caught the bus.

Taylor "Repress Repress Repress" Hebert!

I still had to face the consequences of missing two afternoons.

Do you?

This wasn’t the first time I’d needed to psych myself up to going to school.  Deceive myself into going and staying.  The worst days had been back in my first year at high school, when the wounds of Emma’s betrayal were still fresh and I wasn’t yet experienced enough to anticipate the variety of things they could come up with.  Back then, it had been terrifying, because I hadn’t yet known what to expect, didn’t know where, when or if they would draw the line. 

Ooof

Or, I thought, maybe I could just look forward to hanging out with Lisa, Alec and Brian.  Outside of the part where I nearly got mauled by Bitch’s dogs, it had been a nice night.

I mean, that's like saying "Apart from the part where she mindraped and then actually raped her sister, Amy Dallon does wonderful things in Worm"

Okay, not really, not even close, but still. That is a very big 'apart from' to just... set aside. :rofl:

 it had been a nice night.  Thai food, five of us lounging on two couches, watching an action movie on a huge entertainment system with surround sound.  I wasn’t forgetting what they were, but I rationalized that I had no reason to feel bad about spending time with them when we were – for all intents and purposes – just a group of teenagers hanging out.  Besides, it was for a good cause, if it meant they relaxed around me and maybe revealed secrets.  Right?

Capacity for self-rationalization, thy name is Taylor. :rofl:

Even though I knew, rationally, that I probably wasn’t on the list of their top five things to talk about and that they likely weren’t talking about me, I felt my heart sink.  

No, you probably are. I'm pretty sure you live rent free in both Taylor and Emma's heads and always will. A year and a half of targeting bullying, day in, day out.

Honestly, like, forget the immorality and awfulness of doing that, just... committing to that much bullying to one person that consistently - It just feels like it would be exhausting.

 One of the other girls noticed and chuckled, leaned closer to Sophia as Sophia whispered something in her ear, then they both laughed.  My cheeks flushed with humiliation.  

Like I said. Rent Free.

 For one and three-quarter school years, I had been putting up with this shit.  I’d been going against the current for a long time, and even though I was aware of the consequences I’d face if I kept missing school like this, it was so much easier to stop pushing so hard against the current and just step in the other direction. My hands jammed into my pockets, already feeling an ambivalent sort of relief, I caught the bus back to the docks.

Life advice from Skitter:

"Drop out of school, and become a supervillain kids!"

:rofl:

(But also, good on you Taylor. In this case, quitting school is the better choice. Fukitol and all that)

Villain whumpee au: part 1

Immortal Cannon Fodder masterlist

Taglist: @extrabitterbrain @wolfeyedwitch

Inspired by this prompt [which I can't find rn but it's about a villain being passed around hero teams, until eventually caretaker finds their scars – lmk if you see it/know it, the search on here is terrible].

After years of being passed around various hero teams while on 'parole', Farai ends up with Phoenix, Aaron, Kai, Santhiya, and Rhian. How she's been treated, both then and now, is an adjustment for all of them.

2.1k

CWs: past abuse, expectation of punishment, overwork

Farai pulls the plate out of the dishwasher, gives it a quick wipe with the teatowel before stacking it in the drawer. Nearly finished.

And then she just needs to do the rest of the kitchen.

She's so tired she thinks she might fall asleep right here, but she has to do this. It must be the reason she's here, to do the hero team's chores, because they haven't punished her yet. If she was just here to be hurt they'd have started by now.

It's not fair. They're trying their best, and all anyone does is hurt them and set them near-impossible tasks. If they weren't on parole they'd have given up by now.

"Um. Hey."

Farai spins around, bowl in hand. One of the hero team is standing there in Star Wars pyjamas and a dark hoodie, red, pink and white hair slightly frizzy around a tired face as they fidget. Farai dips her head quickly.

"Hello. Sir."

"Don't call me that. And, um, you don't need to bow either. I'm just Phoenix."

"Sorry Phoenix."

"It's okay. You, um, you must be Farai, right?'

"Yes."

"Great. Because, um, I need to talk to you. You've been doing all the chores, right? I keep, um, hearing someone in here at night, and then in the morning everything's sparkling. And you, um, you seem like you might."

Farai swallows and nods, heart in her throat. Is it a bad thing that she's doing this? Is Phoenix going to punish her? If she shouldn't be doing this, why is she here?

"I'm, um, I'm not going to punish you. I'm just, um, worried that you're going to collapse. Because you're spending all night doing this and I doubt you sleep much during the day and, um, that's what happened to me. I collapsed. Took a long time to recover. You need to stop before that happens to you."

Farai looks at Phoenix nervously. They don't– they– what are they playing at? Are they trying to get them in trouble?

"At least, um, let me help. I know what it's like to, um, to feel like you have to do everything. And to actually have to do it all. And I, um, I don't want you to feel like that. Please?"

Farai eyes them warily. They can't refuse, not really, but they don't trust this.

"Why?"

"I told you. I, um, I know how it feels. And I wouldn't wish that on you."

"Don't lie to me. Nobody ever wants to help."

Phoenix comes further into the room. "I'm not lying. This team were pretty much the first people to, um, accept me. Ever. And, um, I don't want you to end up doing what I did. Let me help you with something."

Farai eyes them warily. They don't trust them. Despite the way they look so earnest and awkward, Farai doesn't quite believe them. As they said, no-one ever wants to help, and they don't see why that would change.

They nod sharply anyway, hands shaking, because they realise that Phoenix won't give up until they can help.

"Thank you."

They step forward, crouching down beside Farai. "You, um, unload, and I'll dry and put them away?"

Farai nods, and passes the bowl to Phoenix.

The job goes smoothly for a while, and Farai almost starts to relax a little. Phoenix is doing exactly what they said they'd do, with no impossible expectations. Not yet, at any rate.

Then it happens. Farai fucks it up. She's handed the last mug to Phoenix, and she's just got to her feet, starting to take the couple of steps towards her canes leaning against the wall, when she stumbles, vision going momentarily, room tilting around them, and they collapse to the floor at Phoenix's feet.

"Farai? What's wrong?"

Farai tries to form words but they only manage a groan. Phoenix eases them to lean against the cupboard.

"I'm going to fetch Aaron, okay? I'll, um, I'll be back in just a minute, I promise."

Phoenix squeezes their shoulder and rushes out.

Farai pushes herself up, attempting to sit to attention, but she just falls back. She's too weak to sit up on her own.

It's not long before Phoenix returns, a dark-skinned man with glasses and hair held in a colourful silk wrap in toe. He has kind eyes, and a first aid kit in one hand even though he's clearly just been woken up.

Phoenix sinks back down beside Farai, and the man who must be Aaron gives them a small, crinkly-eyed smile.

"Hi. I'm Aaron, he/they. You must be Farai. Can you tell me what's wrong? What happened?"

Farai swallows nervously. "I collapsed, sir. My canes were further away than I thought when I tried to fetch them. My vision went, the world tilted, and I stumbled and fell."

"No sirs. Can you stand now?"

"Not at all."

"Want me to fetch your canes?" murmurs Phoenix. Farai shakes her head. She's okay, she can't stand anyway, and she wants Phoenix here.

Aaron nods, unzipping his bag. "I'll do some quick checks on your heartrate, blood pressure and blood sugar to make sure, it could be something else, but when was the last time you ate, slept or drank?"

Farai falters. "I– um–"

Phoenix squeezes their arm. "You're, um, allowed to eat. And drink and sleep. I thought you weren't sleeping, I didn't, um, realise it had gotten so bad already."

"It's okay," Farai murmurs. And it really is. Phoenix is trying, that's more than anyone's done for them in years.

"Hold out your finger. It'll just be a small prick." Farai obeys, looking away but barely noticing the needle. "Right. I'm going to need you to take off your jumper, Farai, so I can have a bare arm to take your blood pressure. I'll be quick."

Farai swallows. She really, really doesn't want to do that. She can't. She's not allowed to show her scars to others, she'll be in trouble, she–

"I'll, um, I'll do it first, if you want, for, um, moral support," offers Phoenix nervously. Nervously? What does Phoenix have to be nervous about? Still, she nods, and watches as they pull off their hoodie, eyes on the floor.

Their arms are covered in scars. Cuts, burns, handprint-shaped burns. The low neck of their top exposes the end of a lash on their collarbone.

What the hell happened to them?

"I have camouflage powers. It, um, took me months to show these. No-one here's given me any grief over them. I don't, um, know why you're nervous, but it's okay."

Farai swallows. She doesn't think anyone here knows about the scars, they're just being nice to her, they think she's just self-conscious, what will they say if they see? She's not Phoenix. She's a villain and not a very well-liked or respected one at that, so there's nothing to say that people won't be mean to her about her scars.

"Your blood sugar's low, as I suspected. I really do need to take your blood pressure and check your heart rate. There's no rush, take your time. I want to work something out with regards to your medication anyway, if you're agreeable to altering that."

Farai nods. She has to be. She squeezes her eyes shut to avoid seeing Phoenix and Aaron's reactions and pulls off her fleecy jumper, rolling up the long-sleeved top on one arm as well, right up to the shoulder.

She hears a small, hastily-stifled gasp, but she's not sure who it comes from.

"Farai..."

That's definitely Phoenix. They sound pained and upset, and Farai opens their eyes, confused. Phoenix looks upset too. Aaron's brow's furrowed in concern.

No-one's looked at them that way in years.

And that's when Farai notices something.

She holds her arm up beside Phoenix's. The handprints match.

"You're not the only one who's been scarred by heroes," says Phoenix, quietly.

Farai frowns even more at this.

"But– you weren't a villain, were you? Why would they hurt you?"

"I'm immortal. My old team took advantage of that."

Farai finds Phoenix's hand. "I'm sorry."

"Not your fault."

"Still." She looks at Aaron, gulping, knowing she needs to be ready for what he's about to do before they chicken out and run off to hide. He smiles.

"Right. This is going to squeeze a bit, but don't panic." Aaron wraps the blood pressure cuff around Farai's upper arm and starts it going. Farai's breath picks up a little as it squeezes tighter and tighter, a little painful, before it releases. Aaron looks at the reader before he gathers it up.

"Hmm. If you don't mind me asking, are those scars from when you were still a villain or later?"

"Later," whispers Farai. Aaron nods. Phoenix closes their eyes for a second.

"I'm sorry. You're on parole, you shouldn't have been hurt like that. Not that it would be alright anyway, but especially not now. I'm going to check your heart, it'll feel a bit cold."

Farai nods, pulling her top down and sitting completely still as Aaron holds the end of the stethoscope to her chest. She's already cold, but she shudders as the metal touches her.

"Alright, you can sort your clothes out again now."

Farai rolls down her sleeve and pulls her jumper over her head, snuggling down into it. That's much better.

Phoenix watches them for a minute before saying quietly, "It's not just hiding. You get cold easily, don't you?" Farai nods. "I'm going to get you a scarf later."

And, well. Farai can't process that. They're not used to people caring. If anyone notices anything they usually make it worse out of spite or cruelty.

They hope Phoenix is telling the truth.

"Right. Your blood pressure's a little raised, and so is your heart rate. I suspect your heart rate is nerves, and you desperately need something to eat. And to sleep. Have you eaten since the pizza on your first night?"

Farai shakes her head. "Didn't know I was allowed."

"You're always allowed food."

Farai looks down, a lump in her throat. Aaron says it like it's obvious, guaranteed, when it hasn't been so in such a long time.

Phoenix nudges their shoulder and they look up to see them smiling gently.

"I'll fetch you something. What would you like to eat?"

"I get a choice?" she asks, before she can stop herself.

"Provided we have it, yeah."

Farai nods. "Coco pops?" she asks hopefully. They're easy to eat and it's been a long time since she last had them.

"Yep. You, um, you sit down at the table, I'll fetch you some. Aaron, do you, um, want anything?"

"I'll have a banana." He pushes himself to his feet and grabs Farai's canes, holding out his other hand. She flinches but it appears they just want her to take it, so she does so cautiously. He pulls them upright, steadying them as they wobble.

"Do you think you can walk?" Farai shrugs. "Okay. Well, take both your canes, and I'll help you too."

Farai does as Aaron says, and they stick an arm under her shoulders as well, supporting them. It's a bit awkward but it keeps them upright, allows them to put one foot in front of the other until they collapse at the table.

"Here you are," says Phoenix with a smile and a flourish. "Coco pops and a banana. And some, um, some jaffa cakes for me. Which I am, um, going to eat the proper way, thank you very much, Aaron."

Aaron chuckles and shakes their head. "You and your jaffa cake eating."

Farai brings a small spoonful to their mouth tentatively, and when no-one stops them practically inhales the rest.

"Hey, careful, you'll be sick," warns Aaron. Farai swallows the last of the cereal.

"Sorry, sir."

"It's okay. You'll get the hang of it. And it's Aaron, not sir."

"Sorry, s– sorry."

Aaron nods.

They eat in silence for a while, before Phoenix opens their mouth, then closes it. Then they say hesitantly, "I heard that you, um, had lots of tattoos. What– I mean, do you, um, not have any on your arm?"

And that's too much. After everything, after all the unexpected kindness, and then– to ask this? That she remembers so vividly, so painfully, because they did it in several harsh sessions, without any pain relief, and so much has happened since but nothing quite as bad as that. Nothing that hurt so much. Nothing quite so personal, so intimate, so callous. It's not like she could've used them, anyway.

Farai can't help it. She bursts into tears.

Tea: A short pre canon Marinette x Chat Noir fic

(I wrote this during my job out of boredom. Didn’t read through it. Probably ass.)

It was just another average night. No villains thankfully, but sheer boredom drove Felix out into the sleeping city as the enigmatic Chat Noir. He pranced along the roofs and soared high above the buildings.

Then, something caught his attention. A girl lolling on one of the rooftops, a teapot right beside her. Chat Noir squinted his eyes to get a closer look… Marinette?

He screeched to a stop, before turning towards her. Well, it didn’t hurt to say hello. Heck, he could even try flirting with her a little. For fun.

“A lovely night, huh.” A familiar voice called out. Marinette yelped at the suddenness, then frowned. There could only be one person…

“Ah.” Was all she could reply. Her face twitched trying to hide her annoyance. Bowing, Chat Noir smirked cheekily at her.

“Get it? Knight and night sound the same and it’s like I’m praising myself.”

The joke was clever, genius even. Chat Noir beamed with pride and waited eagerly for Marinette’s response. At first, she glanced away, then replied with a smile.

“You’re real funny.” Sarcasm oozed out of her before she could stop herself. But luckily, Chat Noir didn’t seem to pick up on it. He plopped down beside her, grinning even wider.

“Well someone gets it. Unlike a certain partner of mine. What’re you doing up here anyways?” Chat Noir asked.

As much as she didn’t want to talk to anyone, which is the whole reason why she came up to the roof in the first place, Marinette gave up trying to shoo the stray cat away. An ear, any ear, could help. She sighed.

“My best friend and I got into a fight. Said she was growing sick of me.”

“Why?”

“Well, I like this guy. A lot. A lot can’t even describe it. He’s like, one of the best things to ever happen to me. But recently, he’s been taking over my mind too much and Alina hates that… She said he wasn’t worth it.”

Maybe it was because Marinette didn’t really have any fondness towards Chat Noir that she was able to speak to him freely. In a sense, with him, she could be her most raw self. Even so, she surprised herself with how quickly she was able to get all that out.

Marinette poured the oolong tea out into two cups and gave one of them to Chat Noir.

He received it gingerly, staring at the clear orange liquid, then at Marinette as she sipped on her cup. Now that he thought of it, was he ever this close to her? Physically? No matter how much he tried to pull himself away, his gaze always wandered back on her.

The way she looked at the night sky, blue eyes round and reflecting the twinkling specks of dust that scattered above them, was beautiful. No she, she was beautiful.

“Chat Noir?”

Chat Noir snapped out of his daze. Whistling, he ran his fingers through his hair. Then laughed loudly, painfully awkwardly.

“I wasn’t looking at you. Who gave you that idea? My heart is only for Lady-” Chat Noir stopped. “How d’you know my name?”

This time, it was Marinette’s turn to falter “Uhhh, lucky guess? Not that I have luck powers or anything. You’re a black cat, it’s night time… Chat Noir? It’s not too hard to get.”

“Seriously? And I spent like a week thinking up of it!” Chat Noir whined, gulped down the tea and fell on his back. Dumb as ever, Marinette thought, chuckling quietly.

“So… why is he not worth it then?”

Chat Noir knew clear as day who “he” was referring to. It wasn’t much of a secret, Marinette was always obvious with her feelings. One of the things that made her more amusing than the rest.

Marinette poured more tea into his cup.

“Rude, stuck up, rich boy.”

Chat Noir winced. Ouch.

“But he’s not like that! Alina just hasn’t talked to him yet.”

“Maybe you are being a bit too… obsessed isn’t the right word but… I’m sure the guy doesn’t mind but maybe Alina does. She’s your best friend. Maybe she feels you’re caring about her less? Just an assumption. Don’t know anything. But try talking to her. Figure out her feelings.”

His words were a bit harsh. But as she drank her own tea, Marinette slowly digested what he said. It was true she was spending less and less time with Alina and more time on Felix. She couldn’t help it. It was the way things were, the way her heart always was.

But she never once put herself in Alina’s shoes. Marinette looked down into her empty cup. All the times she shared tea with Alina, when was the last time she did that? Sniffling, tears welled up in her eyes.

“Y-you okay?” Chat Noir hastily sat up and went over to her. Suddenly, two arms wrapped tightly around him. Marinette buried her head into his chest, a soft, sorrowful smile on her face.

“You’re not too bad. Thank you.”

Burning red rose to Chat Noir’s cheeks as he froze in place, not sure what to do. Then, slowly, his hand rested on the top of her head. Her smile was contagious and soon, he found himself smiling too.

“Good luck Marinette.”

“Marinette? How did you know-“

She pulled away from him. Oops. Chat Noir needed to get out of there, fast. He took a few steps back, then a few more.

“Oh would you look at the time! I have to get going to fight off monsters and stuff… See ya!”

And with that, Chat Noir jumped away and slipped into the night.

After watching him disappear, Marinette stood up, teapot and cups in hand, and crawled back into her room.

“I’ll give Alina a call.”

Just watched Across the Spiderverse! That was amazing! Now I can stop avoiding spoilers like the plague!

Definitely gonna want to watch that again soon. There was a lot to take in, and a combination of a late show and a poor sleep schedule left me less than 100% awake, sadly. Not that I mind an excuse to see it nore than once! Gonna love that when I wake up.

Loved the combination of all the animation styles for the different universes.

Since I've had to dodge spoilers left and right, let me put more of my tired thoughts below the cut, for anyone who hasn't seen it yet. They're probably not gonna be in chronological order, but whatever.

- Renaissance Vulture had such a cool animation style. Loved him. Want to see more of the DaVinci notes style animation. That's awesome.

- The Spot is just... *chef's kiss.* He's the perfect blend of goofy joke villain and genuinely terrifying. And he looks like he's a living scetch covered in ink blots, which was such a cool design.

- "Being Spider-Man is easy!" The confidence of this man is unreal. Pavitr is in for a rough time and he has no idea. He does not seem to realize how badly the universe wants to kick him in the nuts because of his new job. Once it stops collapsing like a whiney 3 year old because it didn't get to murder a cop. That's still a thing that never got fully resolved. Hope that works out at some point.

- Peter B. is such a proud dad. Mayday is adorable. Him showing baby pics to everyone with a pair of eyes and trying to get Miles to hold his little bundle of joy was the most wholesome thing. Probably shouldn't be taking your baby to somewhere like that, but she seemed happy. And adorable.

- If all these Spider-Men are just... hanging out in the Spider Society, are they just leaving their universe without its Spider-Man? How is that not causing problems? How often do they have to go home? Gwen says she's been gone for months... and clearly didn't want to go back.

- Spider-Punk was... a lot. Loved him, but honestly had a hard time keeping track of everything during his introduction. There was just a lot going on on there, so my overtired brain had trouble taking it all in. One of the reasons I want to see it again. His whole visual effect was super cool, but... again, want to take it all in when I'm more awake. Think I read somewhere that he overthrew the government? Anyways, loved his vibe, but his colage-like effects did a number on my brain. Hobie seems cool.

- Miguel seems a little... not okay. He looked like he was gonna just straight-up EAT the Vulture instead of sending him home. And he keeps blaming Miles for starting everything, as if he CHOSE to get biten by that spider. Love him, even if he's seemingly starting to lose it.

I just found out there was a post credits scene with him in the first movie when I was trying to double check everyone's names. How did I not know this? He seemed a lot more well-ajusted there. Or at least less crazy. Taking that much weight onto his shoulders must have done quite the number on him.

- Canon Events leave me with so many questions. Since her dad is still alive, Gwen clearly hasn't had the whole "police capitan dies saving a child" event yet, and if he's gonna quit... does that mean that event won't happen? Is that enough to keep him safe? Is she gonna get close to the new captain and have them die? Is her dad still gonna die? Did she just accidentally skip that Canon Event, dooming her entire universe? Or is it not that big a deal?

- How much of the damage we saw was done by Miles saving the captain and not by the Spot? It looked more like the Spot's portals than it did glitchy multiverse rules. Or did Miles just amplify what was already there? If the Spot WASN'T messing everything up, would the damage have been nearly as bad?

- Wait, if the Spot was an anomaly, then how was that a Canon Event? Was something else supposed to happen? Or does the universe just take whatever excuse it can get to force these things to happen and throw a hissy fit if something stops it from happening?

- If Earth 42 doesn't have a Spider-Man, it can't have Canon Events. How is it still in one piece? Is having a Spider-Man created by a spider from that universe enough to keep it together? Or did Miles' dad dying happen as a Canon Event dispite the lack of a Spider-Man to screw with?

- If there wasn't supposed to be two Spider-Men in his universe, and the original Peter died, why does Miles still get forced into Canon Events? I feel like most of the questions I'm asking are either answered with a simple "because that's how the plot works", or it's gonna be super relivent in the next movie. I like overthinking stuff, it helps me sleep!

- Speaking of overthinking stuff to help me sleep, I'm gonna go do that. I'll probably update this with more thoughts in the morning, but its already a miracle I'm still awake.

I'm still prossecing the Power Rangers Dino Fury Finale. So. A collection of things I like and don't like about Power Rangers Dino Fury, from the top of my head. Obviously it's easier for me to articulate what I don't like than what I like. Will add to it if I forget anything.

Things I like:

Izzie being a butch Lesbian. Good job!

Amelia. Surprisingly she was my Favorite character.

Amelia being an Alien. Yes!! The reveal she was a Rafkonian was amazing.

Surprisingly, the relationship between Ollie and Amelia. In my first watch of season 1 I was dreading them getting together but I really liked them in my second watch. Though their relationship initiation was not nearly as funny as it should have been.

The comic Relief characters! Jane and Jborg! Mucus and Slyther! Yes!! More of this! My favorite comic relief characters in all of power rangers.

Apparently Amelia is going to be the red Ranger in the next season. Yes! Perfect!

Ollie's mom and Solon! Love them!

Void Queen! She's really pretty and scary!

The attempt at developing Rafkon Culture is nice.

Things I hate:

Rafkonians. What dumb uninspired Aliens. Previous Power Rangers seasons had better Alien.

The fact that the Rafkonians still remember Zayto. That really can't be f****** true. I doubt after so many years they would even call themselves Rafkonian.

Why do the Rafkonians remotely remember Zayto. I call Bullshit.

The Zords being able to be piloted by anyone.

The Sporix being inherently evil, and also desperate to take orders. That is such bullshit. These do not fucking align.

The Sporix machine making everyone loyal to void Queen. Why?

The morphing Masters. Garbage fucking Concept. No. This is bad.

The Dino Master sword also fucking sucks. Absolutely dogshit concept. No.

The characters are extremely flat shallow and one dimensional.

They keep using Ayion to teach the basic little kids lesson. That's gotta be at least a little racist.

They have a key that puts an enemy to sleep instantly and they never use it. They genuinely have too many Keys and it feels like they never use any.

The extreme lack of progress. That's pretty common for most Power Rangers shows, but to this one especially, because they never kill their enemies. They physically can't. The best they can do is catch their sporix, and they basically never have a chance to do that. Also, The only ones that come up with strategic plans are the Enemies. It feels like they never make any progress at all.

Amelia's storyline about finding her Parents is not spread out at all. It's all in a clump at the end pushing the final battle to the background and it ruins everything. Sprinkling it throughout the show better would have made the entire story so much better.

I also really didn't like Tarick and Serpenteera being Amelia's Parents. Felt overdone and annoying.

Tarick and Serpenteera should not be fucking redeemed. Absolutely fucking not. No.

Who the fuck thought bringing back Lord Zedd is a good idea. No. Absolutely fucking not.

The morphing grid is a dumb fucking Concept. No. Please stop trying to unify Power Rangers Please.

Javi. For no Particular reason as I far as I know.

Warden Garcie. Hate this mother fucker so fucking much. I keep hoping for him to die.

The hengeman. I think they were kind of dumb. Why would they be controlled by that weird key. Who built them. Why can't Solon Hackthem. Why does void Queen still have access to them after Tarick Betrayed her with the chroma sword that should control them.

The fucking drill can break through the Rangers base. Not a chance in hell. It's not even a military drill. It's a drill to install pipes. Building a robot to do that would have been genuinely much easier and would make much more sense in all Perspectives.

Almost forgot: The recycling of villains. It's really f****** blatant. Wreckmate died in season one in the episode he was introduced. And then they just pretended they didn't kill him, and left him not dying numerous times when he should have died. Killing him only in the last fucking second.

Also they just completely forgot about Slyther in season 2. Which is a shame cuz he was funny. Not nearly as funny as mucus but still very funny. So much better than f****** Wreckmate.

All of the rangers but Ayion are completely fucking Identical. I really f****** hate that.

Things I found wierd:

Buzzblast. One of the wierder Power Rangers hang out spots. There's nothing to do there. Only two of the rangers actually work there.

What?! Age?! Is?! Everyone?!

What exactly are Ollie's credentials? What exactly makes him remotely capable of working with ranger tech or assisting Solon. Why is his mother Doctor Akana, an Archeologist, know all the shit she dose. Like what the cocoon is going to do, or all that shit. Seems like the writers just threw the science characters and said "Science is Science".

I'm definitely forgetting a few things but that's it for now.

[wisecloudnightmare]

Right?!

My tags from my last reblog:

Wait if it's after tue then jazz is dead right? We can ignore that but we can also add angst and/or comedy by making her the only one coming back as a ghost

bc the Fenton parents always wore their protective gears, they weren't ecto-contaminated enough to become ghosts

IF jazz survives, it'd be cool if she's aiming to be a neurosurgeon. She can intern under Dr Leslie and help if any Bats are injured!

I can't decide if this is just dead parents au or are we truly incorporating TUE elements. If Danny went through this once already and has learned about Dan then we has more enemies to play with!

There's Dan of course. then Vlad which is classic. then the inconsiderate bunch that is most of the ghosts. And then there is... Clockwork

It would be cool to see him not always helping Danny or liking Danny. Maybe he manipulates Danny to do his bidding in Gotham (destroying the curses?), implying he would bring Jack and Maddie back in return?

Jazz would be busy with school and patients at the clinic so the only ones seeing Danny spiraling and getting more desperate is Barbara who is also busy but has experience managing vigilantes and villains alike

Well... she needs to get to know her nephew anyhow

@currentfandomkick you brought up so many brainrots I have of this au (click read more)

YES the character study would be glorious. The moral dilemmas and the hard choices that you as heroes have to make mmm it'd be so DELICIOUS

Clockwork shouldn't be an obvious villain because he isn't

He is just another person who has to make a hard choice one too many times (humans can't grasp the depth or the weight of his jobs and burdens as an Ancient) and become so jaded that sacrificing one child for millions lives would not make him lose sleep anymore

I want to see the batfam having different opinions about how trustworthy CW is as well. How can we know he really wants to take away the curses? how can we know if he will do as he promises and bring Danny's parents back? But at the same time, gothams death toll reaches hundreds if not thousands every month. Can they really afford to twiddling their thumbs?

Omg yes! Dan is big and scary but Danny's mind is the most vulnerable part and he (like CW) isn't above taking advantage of it. His character is another thing that fascinates me. Does he hate CW who didn't step in when Dan's parents died? Can he even call them his parents if he isn't Danny anymore? Does he hate CW even more when Danny's parents still died despite how hard Danny tried? Is he trying to find out what exactly is the plan CW has for Danny? What is he shaping Danny into? Is Dan trying to put a stop to it? And shaping Danny into his own image instead?

I imagine Dan'd play hot and cold, as in being forceful about snatching the scale out of Danny's eyes in one meeting, then being almost empathetic and kind in the next (as much as he can be anyway). This makes Danny question CW's promise but... is it enough for him to let go of the chance to bring his parents back and eradicate the curses of Gotham for good? (Let's say he comes to call it home after how good Babs takes care of and accommodates him)

It would be cool if, just like Danny, Vlad's mental health is also deteriorating after Jack and Maddie died and he is the one afflicting physical damage (to Danny, batfam, civilians, Gotham), adding to the worsening symptoms of Gotham's curses.

So we can have AT LEAST four parties (CW, Dan, Vlad and the curses) who give Danny mental and physical toil. This doesn't even count Gotham's rogues, the ghosts, secret organizations and other things that might pop up to create even more mess.

Danny and Batfam really have their work cut out for them.

P.s. with the main plot this heavy, I bet people would love the B plot. Jazz learns how to cook! She feeds the weird gold eyed people around Gotham! (They sometimes bring her ingredients) Oooh is this for her? Thank you! Let's make spaghetti today guys! Oh my she feels like she forgets something... (It's Danny. She forgets that she comes to Gotham to find Danny and tells him she's alright. Whether it's the work of Gotham's curses or CW that is up to debate)

Danny pulls a Tim and makes up an uncle living in Gotham to avoid being adopted by Vlad after TUE. Unfortunately, this farce doesn't last long as Vlad starts demanding proof. Lucky for Danny though, he sees the perfect candidate for his uncle on the streets one day as he's brainstorming options. Now if only he can convince this stranger to go along with him.

Yakuza 7 (like a dragon) review

I was dreading this one because of the turn based combat (I’m not keen on dragon quest for a start) and having an all new cast plus I had a major plot point spoiled beforehand but I decided to give it a chance anyway. Still prefer brawler style overall, but I did get used to it

The good shit: 

I ended up really liking Ichiban, he was just the character that was needed after Kiryu. He’s still as dumb ofc, but he’s really enthusiastic about everything he does. I still prefer Kiryu, but he was pretty subdued when it came to almost everything and he really did seem fed up by 5 so Ichi’s a breath of fresh air.

The villains were good this time round and Ichi’s connection to them made it all the more interesting. 

Sleep minigame was mad

No stupid enemies grabbing guns left about in cutscenes

Another great soundtrack

Lot’s of enemy variety, they really got wacky with it

I eventually got used to the combat. It’s ok, just a huge change. It does get a bit repetitive later though.

The special moves are all fun. Daigo and Majima especially. I think Majima was a sonic adventure reference?

Dragon kart is a nice distraction, wish we got more characters though, maybe next game

More locations and the uber app was handy given how big yokohoma was

Bringing back old theme songs was nice

I’m glad Watase made a re-appearence, he had a lot of potential and I’m glad he didn’t just get forgotten

Great news Wagi fans, he’s back (although how the fuck and why did no-one realise, did daigo not notice his captain never came out of hospital?)

The goon pokedex is a great 

Finally, playable female characters. Both are fine, although there was a strong smurfette feel to the group at times. Also I love that neither can be attacked by Kiryu in the boss fight, cool attention to detail. Seong hui was also cool but I wish she fought, it’d make more sense for her than the other 2 in all honesty.

The CDs are nice

I loved the whole dynamic with the group and the little bar chats. Kiryu’s chats in 6 were more awkward and brought back bad memories for me in school trying to add to  conversations so it hit to close to home. Ichi has more charisma. I hope they keep this for the next game, I’d love to see the Tojo gang discuss stuff, especially with Daigo as he never got to do much outside of chairmanning

They had a reasonable explanation for Han sorta coming back. He was OP tbh but still cool.

Date cameo, always good to see him

The kiryu fight was good fun

I got into Ichiban confections, but I did need a guide to get started. It wasn’t explained very well.

The tojo and omi being gone opens up a lot of possibilities.

Onomichio my beloved

The Bad shit:

OMG the fucking Majima fight is an absolute bullshit difficulty spike. Worst in any game I’ve played in years.  I was comfortably beating enemies/bosses before that, there was no real indication I was severely underleveled except a hint that I should use the arena (and i was halfway through on my first attempt). I get they are meant to be Tojo legends but that felt cheap. Then I overlevelled and it wasn’t fun. Kiryu’s and tendo’s fights were far more balanced

Dungeons are pretty samey, although they are mostly optional I suppose.

The stop motion cutscenes they used sometimes made me feel sick for some reason. Didn’t care for that design choice at all.

Ok, maybe Kashiwagi could have survived, but no way lau ka long should have.

Mirrorface was dumb as fuck, he only played a small role thankfully

Graphics seemed like a downgrade compared to judgement at times, maybe I’m imagining it though

That annoying noise adachi and saeko make when you stand still for a second drove me nuts

that same ice clink sound effect in the drinks (minor quibble, but yeah)

Food does not give experience, why does it say that.

Switching jobs was a massive pain at times, I just stuck with enforcer, idol, hitman and hero.

Some attacks just seemed pointless

Poundmates are way too expensive

Yokohoma isn’t as nice to look at, but that’s not the games fault. Lots of bland office buildings.

Nanba’s betrayel for a brother we don’t even get to see annoyed me. Didn’t let that fucker back in my party after that lol. And if he wasn’t actually homeless why does he carry on like a hobo.

Geomijul are filling in for the florist . i thought they got rid of him for being too convenient a plot device but here we are again.

Arakawa and Daigo seemed to leave a lot of shit up to chance imo.

Crafting felt kind of limited

Ichi’s capacity for forgiveness seemed a little delusional at times, it is pointed out and I guess he says himself there’s no logic to it.

Trying to make the brothel owner out to be some swell guy felt a bit cringe, it’s the whole grey area thing I know but he still seemed like a dick.

Substories took too long at times and there’s a few pretty boring ones

I’m happy I gave it a chance anyway and it’’ll be interesting to see where they go from here. No more ‘traitor in the Tojo clan’ ‘someone shot/abducted daigo’ or ‘omi vs tojo’ plots from here on out. IDK how Kiryu will fight as he isn’t a gaming addict so how are they gonna square that when he joins? 

The characters were well fleshed out and like judgement you can see they’ve gotten better with their story telling. 

The combat was jarring at first but I got good at it eventually and started enjoying it a lot more. It helps they were so creative with attacks but I’ll always prefer brawling

⇢ Chapter 7 : Why Don't You Stay?

⇢Chapter 8: Beyond this universe

Chapter [09/16] : I know I love you

I barely sleep that night and was up before 7 am, the story has changed in a brutal way, the video leaked last evening was not part of the cannon, Yeonjun was in love with me, Yuri putting as an evil person, the cannon was destroyed! How does this happen? Why and when? There's no story that I can use as a base to this situation, I try to remember manhwas, dramas, romance book plots, and nothing, the villain never became the female lead, or I couldn't remember a similar thing in a love story. So I run to the only place I maybe, found answers: the library! 

I look over and over again all shelf by shelf, without finding anything, so my eyes finally stopped, it was a Winter song, and right next to that Winther song: The warm heart of the Snow Queen, holy mother! I try to read like I have a photography memory, it was another history, how did I end up as a female lead? Yuri was really a villain now? And that guy on the beach was…

"Hwa Suji?" I look at the one they were calling me, and it was him, our eyes connected and this makes my arm hair shiver, how could In't recognize it? He was Yeonjun's stalker "Do you need any help?" I put the books fast in my bag.

"No, I was just doing some research, I'm helping a friend with his photograph project, and the concept is romantic you know, just getting the vibe..." Sound's calm Hwa Suji, calm!

"Oh, that's why that wedding photo yesterday!" Does he seem to relive? 

"Yeah, even my mom believes, I think I'm doing a great job!" He smiles, don't show that you are afraid Suji "I got go now…"

"O right!" He put his hands and his pockets "Come back every time you need! I heard about the video last night! I'm sorry for you to have to be pass-thru so many shits because of that liar.."

"It's okay, I'm strong, well see you later!"I run out there, my heart was beating so fast that I could feel the pulse in my head.

Breath Suji, what he was doing here too? Does that mean Yeonjun is in danger? I walk thru the university halls, and notice, the pictures of me all full of cursing were replaced with Yuri's pictures full of cursing, I take them off the wall and put them in the trash.

"Humiliation teaches nothing!" I scream and everyone looks at me, I see Ji Eun crossing the hall in my direction, she was worried.

"First of all, where were you this morning? Yeonjun almost collapse looking for you! And me too! Second, why in the part you're defending her? She deserves this! Did you watch the video?"

"I was in the library of the university this morning, to think and calm myself down"I hold Ji Eun's hand "Humiliation is not the answer, never! Where is Yeonjun?"

"In the park line, next to your car!"

"Okay, see you later unnie!"I  go in the park line direction, all students are looking at me with sorry faces, being a female lead was so awkward oh my. 

Yeonjun was waiting for leaning in my car, the man he was really a manhwa character, all dressed in black, a big jacket, and sunglasses, so handsome!  He takes his glasses off when he sees me, and when I'm close enough, he hugs me, being in his arms was like being transported to another dimension.

"I'm so sorry that I was sleeping this night, and for not believing in you that time, how could I be so blind?" Was so warm in Yeonjun's arms, and his perfume… Focus Suji, we had to do what was right first.

"It's okay, the circumstance was not the best, nothing in my favor, but I got to ask you something, Yuri's address..." He looks surprised "I wanna do for her, what I wish they have done to me, listen to her side..."

"Do you think that this video has an explanation?" 

"Everything has an explanation, but sometimes is not what we wanna hear..." I was not being completely honest, and this hurt my heart a little bit. 

But all romances have formulas, to the development of the plot, apparently, I just let myself be guided by the writer unknowingly, but now that a dangerous stalker shows up, I can not give myself the privilege to continue being a guide for the writer. I need to be ready, and Yuri probably has answers to help me with that, Yeonjun writes the address.

"You wanna me to go too?" He looks at me all worried, and I already wanna get back to his arms, put yourself together woman!

"There's no need, see you later okay at home okay?" I kiss his forehead and get in the car. 

When I park in front of Yuri's house I observe the neighborhood, which was similar to the one I lived in real life, with Ji Eun, there was no bell in the gate, so I clap. 

"Yuri! That's me, Suji!" No one answers, she is here, I know that, I open my car window and press the car horn "Yuri I'm not leaving before you talk to me!"Five minutes later she shows up. 

"What are you doing here?"Oh, she was mad, like was my fault for her lies!

"I wanna hear your side, understand why you did this!"She sighs, oh please girl don't make me regret "Can I go inside?" She opens the gate and the door without inviting me to in she comeback inside "Thank you!"

Her house was small like mine was before the salon became famous, with book all over the floor, they were about Korean literature, and there is no couch in the living room, she sits on the floor, and look at me daring me to do the same, poor her, she doesn't know me! I sit just like her, Yuri tries to hide her surprise, but because her eyes were perceptible 'Let's start from the begging! Why did you wet yourself?"

"You know wasn't me! " Yuri almost screams. 

"So who did and why?" I ask trying to calm myself, her attitude was not helping.

"Don't play silly with me when you send him!" Don't roll your eyes, Suji. 

"If I did that, why I would be here Yuri?" She realizes her confusion. 

"I don't know, to play the good one?" I look into her eyes.

"Really? Me? Playing the good one? Who did this to you, Yuri? And why do you think I send him, is he next to me or something?" Taehyun would never do that, Soobin liked her, Beomgyun was too busy, and Yeonjun never too. So she snorts. 

"Everybody on the campus knows that the library guy is your biggest fan Suji when he shows up telling me to stop or disturb your happiness! That's why I assume that you, even for indirect paths was guilty of that" He was my fan… "And after that he starts to be all over places, watching if I would do something with you, like in the travel, why did you bring him?"

"I never talked to him before today, I have to go to the library for the first time..." I try to breathe "It was he that filmed Ji Eun and Taehyun's conversation?" She doesn't answer and starts to blush.       

"That was me, I was mad cause Yeonjun was looking bothered by the fact that you runway with that cute guy, I did it without thinking about the consequences I'm sorry, and didn't work in the end because Yeonjun ends things with two days ago..." The stalker was not there to observe Yuri, he was looking for me, Hueningkai was not part of his plan, and he didn't know, until that moment about, my feelings for Yeonjun, but Yuri's video exposed this, he posts Yuris video to do revenge in my name? "Suji, say something.."

"He was not there for you, he was stalking me" Her expression was worried "He posted your video, he spoke with me about this..." If he is a stalker and knows that I'm in love with Yeonjun "Yeonjun is in danger, I got to go!" I didn't listen to what she said, I run for my car and start to call Yeonjun's cell phone, over and over again, driving like crazy in the university's direction "Please answer the phone, answer the dam phone Yeonjun!" I give up so I call Ji Eun she picks up the first signal.

"WHY ARE YOU IN THE YURI'S HOUSE?" She screams on the other side of the line.

"Unnie, listen to me, where is Yeonjun?" Please be with him, please be with him.

"He receives a message saying that Yuri was planning to do something bad with you, he goes out running, I'm at the apartment with you, where are you, Suji?" It was hard to breathe. 

"It was a lie, I'm fine, he is the one in danger, a stalker, I can't explain right now, can you put Taehyun in the line?" She didn't answer, I heard her passing the phone "Tae?"

"Yes, I'm ready." His voice was serious, my tears running down my face.

"You remember how to track someone's phone?" 

"Yes noona, give me a minute" I park on the shoulder waiting for his answer "I'm sending Yeonjun localization right now on your phone! I'm going there too!" I take a deep breath and focus on Suji, you can't lose him again. 

"Okay, see you there!" I turned back to the road taking the way back, never in my life, I drive so fast, Ayrton Senna would be proud.

GPS guide me to a dumping ground, and my blood froze in my veins, Yeonjun misophobia, did he find out? How? I look at the back sit and like magic, a baseball bat emerges. 

"You got to be kidding me," I say looking up as the author could hear me, okay Suji chill, you unless got a weapon, and you were the best in your taekwondo class in elementary school, you're cool and Yeonjun is in danger, he needs you. I get off the car with my baseball bat in my hand and start to follow on my feet the red dot in my cell phone. In the middle of the dumping ground has three sheds, eenie meenie mine, I started but some guys appear, they are all dressed in suits.

"This princess is lost guys, let's guide her home, like the gentleman we are" When the first one advances on me, deflection skillfully, and punches his stomach, the second one I bit with my baseball bat in his...I make a home run! In the third, I give the best high kick, and I hit his head, In the fourth one I use his tie to unbalance him and give him an elbow in his back, so just rest the one who looks like the boss, I punch his face with all my strength, all this in seconds! I'm Vincenzo! I hold the boss for his tie "Dimmi dov'è il mio ragazzo?" (Say where is my boyfriend?)

With his hand shaking he appoints the sheds in the right one "Okay, I will need your belt" He looks at me not believing "NOW"

The boss takes his belts faster as possible. Okay, weirdo get yourself ready cause I'm coming for your head!  When I enter the place is dark, and the difference of light makes my eyes take a fell second to adapt, when my vision focused again I see the stalker holding Yeonjun for his hair, he is all tied up, and unconscious, I will kick that bastard ass so hard that he will have to crawl for the rest of his life.

"You don't know how to see you like this for him breaks my heart." His voice was so calm.

"Don't worry, I'll break your legs too, so you won't be able to feel the pain in your heart!"He laughs out loud, and I remember Hueningkai talking about evil laugh, he was right I do not have one "Now let him go this is between us"

"Oh no Suji, is not just about between us, I'm tired of Yeonjun taking everything that is mine!" The memory of the day of the accident hit me, he screamed at Yeonjun that should be "First my song, later my debut, and now my girl!" He shakes Yeonjun's head.

"First of all, I'm not your girl! Second has legal ways to get back a song, Third and last, is the company that chooses who gonna debut" His eyes seem lost for a second and then come back to have focus. 

"You're just lost, cause you're in love with him, but don't worry the poison on his system will kill him soon, so we don't have to worry anymore!" Poison? The feeling of losing Yeonjun makes the petals in my stomach climb thru my through, I vomit, entire tulips, and they are full of my blood. Yeonjun didn't confess his feelings or decline mine. I keep vomiting for minutes, if I keep this way me and Yeonjun gonna die, the crazy guys leave Yeonjun and walk to hold me "See baby, this will all be gone, and this poison will kill him soon" He shows the bottle, and I thank for the author for making me watching so many chemistry classes, cause now I know to make an antidote, I recompose myself and when I see the stalker relax too, I attack. I try not to get blind by anger but seeing Yeonjun unconscious didn't help, so I remember that I have to do an antidote soon, I tied up the stalker, using my scout knot, and start to search for his stuff the ingredients, or similar bases.    

I just found a rusty thermos bottle in that place, I put all the ingredients inside, and my hands are shaking, When I finish I hold Yeonjun's chest against me, keeping his head high, I open his mouth and make sure that his drinking everything. 

"I'm so sorry Jun" My heart was breaking into pieces "If you were with Yuri nothing of this would be happening" I cry and kiss his forehead If on that day I wasn't later he would found that guy in the hall if he didn't feel the need to explain to me the car accident wouldn't happening, if I follow the history how it was, this wouldn't be happening.

"Please don't regret choosing me yet!" He says, he stays in my arms but his arms were around me too, holding me with strength "When I thought that you're in danger, I realize that I didn't say that I love you!" Yeonjun sits between my legs, and looks in my eyes holding my face in his hand "You're my savvier, there's no place in this world that I feel more love, more loved, and that I love more to be in! I love you Hwa Suji!"

Then he kiss me and was like the world stops, I didn't hear the police sirens or my friend's voice, the world was all about me and Yeonjun.   

_

Beomgyu put me and Yeonjun in the same hospital room so he can check both of us at the same time and we don't piss him off with our concerns about each other. The news got the CCTV of the dumping ground, so all Koreans are seeing me kicking that guy's asses. And they got the part when I ask for my boyfriend's localization and gave themselves the work of translating, NICE!

"So, I'm your boyfriend?" Yeonjun asks laying at my side, his face in a red tone. 

"I already told you that you can not lay in my bed!" He holds my arm.

"I can't, I'm your boyfriend, that's our first day, I need to be close to you" Yeonjun hug me. 

"Be careful with the needle in your arm" I warn but he keeps hugging me anyway, so I make myself comfortable in his arms.

"So it was true at the last..." I hear my mom's voice interrupting our moment, we jump to the opposite extremes of the bed "Darling, why him? He doesn't have a stable job" Yes that's absolutely my mom, talking about another person like he is not in the room. 

"Mom, I don't have a stable job, remember?" I hold Yeonjun's hand.

"Yeah, but in the future, you gonna work with us, if Yeonjun had chosen his family legacy, and decided to become a doctor, he heir this hospital with his Hyung, which would be another story!" Oh lord, she sounds like Hueningkai's mom, I hold Yeonjun's hand with strength. 

"Mom I can't live without him" Yeonjun looks at him without believing my words.

"Omoni I can't live without her" Oh my, we're so corny, I love him "And I'm pretty sure that I'll build a stable musician career..." He will, I know.

"And I already take my first step and will realize a makeup brand thru Hwa Cosmetics, I'll make everything from the composition to the marketing"I hold my mom's hand "I'm a woman now, you have to trust me, I know how to defend myself!"

So five guys enter the rooms, I was waiting for them.

"Yes omoni," Parallel 38 says "Look at this purple eye right here" He points to his face "Noonim made this" So Beomgyun enters the room looking nervous.

" Do you call these guys?" By his voice tone, he is mad at me.

"Yes" I answer and mom hides behind me  "They will be my store security guard if they don't wanna be sue, and of course after being properly trained." Everybody in the room looks at me like I was insane, may I was, is that thing, that keeps your friends close, and your enemies closer, that lunatic will never put anyone that I love in danger again.

Bridges by supercrunch | 18,018 | Bakugou is signed up for a Calvin Klein modeling gig. The thing is, they really do need the money.

Dark Side of the Sun by Synnie | 51,598 | Staying up too late playing video games, Kirishima wasn't expecting to get an urgent call begging for help. Next thing he knew, he was letting his classmate Izuku Midoriya take refuge in his apartment - without consulting his always angry roommate.

Claim Me by ScientificallySinful (VampireGaaraCheesepuffs) | 114,449 | Being an Alpha has nothing to do with Katsuki's success as a Pro-Hero, the same way Deku's Omega status hasn't kept him from becoming Number Two.

As Fate Would Have It by ScientificallySinful (VampireGaaraCheesepuffs) | 88,737 | Katsuki Bakugo had plenty of reasons why he wasn't mated yet, not that he was going to explain why to just anyone. But now, Ground Zero was running out of time. If he didn't find someone soon, he'd lose his position as a Pro-Hero and he'd never get to be #1. So, when he finds out there's a male Omega recently arrested for prostitution that's headed to prison if he too doesn't get a mate…well it must be fate. (Quirkless Izuku)

A/B/O – No Quirks

Gravity by warschach | 71,477 | Izuku is back in his hometown and plenty hasn't changed much from the 8 years he was gone. Except, Katsuki Bakugou, the alpha king of their small town.

Nine Months by greatcloudninja | 23,303 | Omega Midoriya Izuku connects with Alpha Bakugou Katsuki through an online singles ad.

But Izuku Midoriya, ever the reckless daredevil, was not thinking of that when he got into a car with a complete stranger. Completely ignoring the part where his mother always taught him to never gets into cars with alphas he didn't know...

[thecarnivorousmuffinmeta]

What would a cw adaptation of Harry Potter look like?

Having not watched too many cw shows myself (I just hear about their nonsense), I phoned @therealvinelle who made the poor life choices of having watched much more of The Vampire Diaries than I have and watching any Supernatural.

The following is her beautiful response:

So for starters, we merge Snape and Tom's characters. This is because Snape isn't hot, and because Tom needs to be near the kids. Tom still looks like Tom Riddle, and he's a teacher who seduces Hermione. At no point are any thoughts about the fact that he's a teacher sleeping with a student had

Harry is a blond now, and he's also dating Hermione. A love triangle ensues, one where Tom will hover sexily but dangerously in empty classrooms and make vague threats that Hermione find very sexually arousing.

The love triangle is the focal point of this show.

Voldemort is Tom's evil alter ego, who killed Harry's parents over that prophecy. He wants to kill Harry as well, but it's not the season finale yet so he's not actually doing anything about it. Too busy seducing Hermione.

Instead he just does vaguely sinister things, like release a basilisk that Harry heroically saves Hermione from.

He every so often has charged conversations with McGonagall (Who has been aged down and is in her thirties. She's still considered ancient), implying they had an affair once.

Harry and Hermione piece together that Tom and Voldemort aRe ThE sAmE pErSoN.

(Piece together meaning that Dumbledore, who only appeared in the second half of the first season and the show never bothers to clarify what his job actually is, gets a focal episode where he tells them the story of Tom Riddle through flashbacks. Terrible flashback wigs and costumes galore.)

Tom will later, in season 3 where he goes full woobie and we learn that none of his evil deeds were ever his fault, reveal that there's more to the story. That orphanage he grew up in? It was a special school for muggle-borns where they trained a future wizarding militia. Tom was the only one who broke free of their oppressive regime. The other children... GREW UP TO BECOME THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX.

But I'm skipping how season 1 ended. The answer is that Hermione disavowed Tom in the season 1 finale since he was evil, he was too sexy bad boy to care except subtle wigglings of his eyebrow told the captive Tomione-shipping audience that he did in fact care. Harmione shippers think they're all delusional. She then jumped into Harry's arms.

Which was poor decision making on her end, because in season 2 Harry joins the dark side. This lasts for half a season, mostly because the arc featured so much filler. Tom, who was imprisoned in season 1, becomes Hermione's supportive pen pal through this ordeal and she starts to wonder if maybe there's good in him after all.

Sirius Black is introduced, he's a lawyer living in the Muggle world and he was in love with Lily. We get a flashback showing us how sad Sirius was when she married James, and there is buildup for an arc where Harry's paternity will be questioned. This arc is scrapped, and Sirius is written out of the show altogether, never to be mentioned again.

Ginny gets pregnant by Neville. Neville dies tragically shortly afterwards, killed by Harry because Harry is a dark wizard now. This is actually the spinoff door episode to the new show the CW is trying to launch, "The Weasleys".

Neville's death has no real consequences, Harry returns to the light and is forgiven in time to become the child's godfather.

Oh, and can't believe I forgot: they've all been aged up to 17.

End of season 2, Tom escapes prison.

Season 3, we get the whole "DUMBLEDORE is the real villain!" arc. Tom killing Harry's parents in season 1 is forgotten, the show doesn't outright retcon it but it doesn't want the viewers to remember it either.

Hermione is once again in a love triangle, only this time Tom and Harry have both done bad things (but we'll only bring up the 2 bad things Harry did (killed Neville and said a mean thing to Hermione) and none of the 282985204592 bad things Tom did) so Hermione has a hard time.

Hermione also discovers that she's a uniquely powerful witch. She has the power to make windows shatter, candles flicker, and wind blow all about. Everyone is frightfully impressed with this.

Mid-season 3 finale, Dumbledore destroys Tom's body. It's terribly dramatic, but then turns out to only be a mild inconvenience as he is resurrected four episodes later. He's resurrected by Hermione's window shattering powering, she closed her eyes very intensely and bam, he's back.

We learn about the horcruxes, which by themselves are shockingly similar to the horcruxes of the original books. The big change, however, is that this Tom didn't know he had horcruxes, those evil bastards at the orphanage split his soul in the night through ominous rituals (another flashback here). He has no idea where this other half of his soul is.

Season finale, we learn that Hermione is in fact his horcrux. This is why they had so much in common (they don't have anything in common) and why she got through his bad boy persona (he hasn't been a bad boy since season 1!). They were soulmates this whole time!

Harry despairs in the face of this, and he and Hermione have a teary conversation where she confirms that yes, the Tomione shippers won.

He also has a pleasant conversation with Tom, as a bromance has bloomed between the two.

Alas. The episode ends on a cliffhanger, as the door flings open dramatically. Dumbledore walks in, bearing proof that Tom made an Unbreakable Vow to always serve the Order, a Vow that was obliviated from him. He drags Tom kicking and screaming away from a crying Hermione, the season ends with her resolve to find a way to save him.

(Sorry, I'm on a roll here)

Season 4, a year later. Harry and Hermione have been searching ever since Tom disappeared. They've become closer than ever, but apart from three or four moments of extreme sexual tension per episode, Hermione is Faithful™

News of Tom's terrorist actions as an Order member reach them with regular intervals. Hermione remains convinced that he's being forced to do all this and doesn't actually want to hurt anybody, Harry's not so sure.

They catch up to him in Minneapolis (did I mention this entire show takes place in the states? All the actors are American.) and he tells them to stop trying to save him. Hermione, devastated, takes this to mean he never loved her, he was only ever a psychopath playing with her feelings. She tells him as much, and Tom confirms, yeah, he's a cold-hearted son of a bitch (Harry's favorite insult for him).

They break up, and Hermione gets back with Harry. They return to their home city in North Dakota.

At the very end of that same episode, Tom is able to visit Harry for 15 seconds in the form of a specter and very dramatically tell him how he does love Hermione but he's not good for her, better to make a clean break, yada yada. DON'T LOOK FOR ME.

Harry agrees, sure no problem, he can do that. Just one noble bro to another.

Tom nods, thanks for having sex with my girl while I rot in hell, bro.

It is in this same season premier episode that the show introduces the Blacks. Remember Sirius Black? Yeah, this is sexy family.

They become instant fan favorites, and one of them is shipped with Tom (the fans now hate both Harry and Hermione).

Pandering as always, the show lets said character run into Tom. And it's not Bellatrix, oh no. It's Athena, a CW original Black. She's indistinguishable from the original Bellatrix and it's unclear why she's not just Bellatrix.

Tom is ordered to kill her, but they have a moment of truly intense eye contact so he only injures her (the killing curse doesn't exist in this show. Don't ask how Harry got his scar. No really, don't ask, the show never explained it). Shippers go wild.

Tom is eventually able to break free of the Unbreakable Vow through the power of true love (book fans are sobbing, this show gets nothing right), and he returns to Hermione, begs her to take him back. She rebuffs him, and he goes to get drunk at a bar. This is where Narcissa (aged down to 25) finds him. They have sex.

He has a brief fling with her, only to get into a more serious relationship with Athena. This leads to Hermione getting jealous.

We're now dealing with a love pentagon, of sorts. Harry and Tom love Hermione, Tom also loves Athena, Narcissa wants Harry but she has undeniable sexual chemistry with Tom.

The show descends into back-and-forth-ing, and does not get renewed.

The end.

POST SCRIPT:

The oddly popular side character that the CW never wanted to be popular at all and keeps having to make mysteriously vanish for half a season so that the plot(?) can avoid being derailed is Draco.

He's super competent but the show will never admit that.

Later, Athena plays this same role.

“I must no longer accept,” she said slowly, “being a stranger to you.” “Whoa, whoa, whoa,” said Gideon, sudden sweat prickling the back of her neck, “yes you can, you once told me to dig myself an ice grave. Stop before this gets weird.”

There’s an order to this that I can’t figure out how to establish, because these particular ideas are so layered that I want to quote several things at once, and those things have their own stuff going on. While sort of doing a better job of explaining my feelings on this than anything I could type. Truly, my position here is redundant.

But we’ll start here, because here is the start.

Gideon and Harrow are weird.

They are very, very weird.

There are rules about that, though.

Don’t talk about the weird.

Conceal, don’t feel. Don’t let it show.

Gideon and Harrow are not allowed to look at what they are to one another, because there’s nothing good that can come from it. It’s better to hate each other. Harrow the villain, Gideon the pest. These are easy roles, and as long as they fit into them, the world keeps turning smoothly.

Except they change worlds, and the roles don’t fit anymore. They’re collaborating. Regardless of motive, they’re working together and not actively trying to ruin the other one’s day just to feel something.

It isn’t a slow-burn Something There situation; the jump between Gideon planning her nuptials with Harrow’s murderer and trying to pry open a steel hatch with her bare hands is nonexistent. There have been no real positive changes in the relationship at the time of Harrow’s disappearance. Things are mostly as they always have been, and what they’ve already created is enough to blast every one of Gideon’s adrenal functions into overtime.

But they don’t have to examine that. There is no reason to observe that dichotomy.

Until someone dies. They’re as inured to their treatment of each other as they are to death -- and this death shines a light on the humanity that they’ve both spent their entire lives running away from.

In the thick dimness of the room she watched the black-garbed girl in front of her struggle around a thing that had settled over them like a net; a thing that had fused between them like a badly broken limb, shattered numerous times, healing gnarled and awful. Gideon recognised these strictures all of a sudden: the ropes tying her to Harrow and back to the bars of the House of the Ninth. They stared at each other with shared panic.

Gideon does not want to care about her jailer. She doesn’t want to belong to the Ninth. All it’s been is crap and pain and painful crap, and she’s tried 87 times to get away from it, and this is supposed to be the final, 88th time.

But it’s under her skin anyway. She skulks around Canaan House noting every Ninth behavior she commits, and when she has the chance to abandon Harrow to the unknown, she doesn’t take it.

Please don’t bring that up ever, though.

They can’t be human to each other. If they treat each other as human, something has to change, and if something changes --

If they’re not enemies, what do all those layers of entrenched life add up to? If it’s not used to fuel perfectly healthy hate, what does it become?

That’s a total nope on examining any of that, thanks.

Here’s the thing: Harrow decides that things have to change, and shares that information. She asks Gideon what the steps are. Gideon wants sleep and food. Harrow lets Gideon sleep in (give or take some clock accuracy), brings her food, and does Gideon’s makeup while she eats.

That happens immediately.

You turn the page in the book -- the literal, physical book -- and that is the scene that is happening.

They are fucking weird, and in complete denial of it for the sake of their mutual sanity. It’s just that then murders start. It’s a bit of a shift. Once murders start, Harrowhark places more of an importance on life than sanity because why worry about what you don’t have.

It terrifies both of them for a reason; it’s big and scary and not a single fucking person has ever shown them how to have a healthy relationship. Do Not Break Glass is written all over the illusion that they’re nothing to each other, and Harrow is the one who first takes an axe to it.

Which is especially great, given everyone’s favorite quote.

“Oh, Griddle!” said Harrow pityingly, in the silence. “But I don’t even remember about you most of the time.”

Actually, no. It gets even greater thanks to what follows that line.

They stared at each other. There was a lopsided smile tugging at Gideon’s mouth, unsuppressed, and looking at it made Harrowhark’s expression slide into something even moodier and more petulant.

You do, tho.

Clarification to the rules: One party can acknowledge the state of weird as long as it’s being weaponized.

Gideon is not allowed to matter to Harrow. That’s weird. Like Harrow not being an evil bitch is weird. But Harrow can be an evil bitch being annoyed by Gideon. That’s cool. That’s normal.

By which I mean that they have been weird all over each other from the start, and yes, it is awkward.

Hi, I really liked your last post. Can I make another request about yandere Gotham villains? How would they react once they discovered their affectionate obsession is actually an undercover agent that aims to take down their “crime empire?”

Ohhhh yesssss

Yan. Gotham villains with secrete agent trying to take them down.

Pls don't reblog or take

She would find out by one of her trusted allies. She would claim thier delusional and ask for proof. When they deliver that proof she is shocked. Her darling, her one and only has betrayed her. She would think it wasn't all fake that you are just confused. She would kidnap you of course and try her best to make you 'understand' that you live her. She will not stop until you do. She gets you to quit your job. She keeps you in a safe house made just for you and her.

She would find out from Edward. She is heart broken and so so hurt. How could you do this to her. After all the adventure you both went through. She's convinced that you don't want to really hurt you. She would take you to her bar. She has a secrete upper floor designed just for the two of you. She would force you to quit and then start babying you. She believes that you love her and soon enough you will to.

He would find out that you are working with him and Harvey. He would feel deviated. You were his star there is no way that you actually are on there side. He would hipnotize you into quiting and convincing everyone that you are moving out of Gotham because it's to 'toxic'. He would then take you to a home he got for you both. He would try his hardest to get you to love him. Eventually you will give in and you will be the perfect couple.

He found out that you were trying to take him down from himself. He was stalking watching over you when he saw you giving information to Jim. He is shocked and heart broken. He takes you and begs you to tall him you love him. He isn't he knows there is no excuse to what you did. He would punish you hard until you are broken for him. He will slowly build you up this time you will love him.

He finds out you are with the GCPD when he sees you talking to Harvey about a plan he has. He would wait with dinner at the mansion. He puts sleeping pills in your food and when you wake up your chained to a very comfortable bed. He knows you didn't mean it, he knows that you thought it was the right thing to do but he'll teach you the truth. He will not hurt you because you are perfect and pure you didn't mean it. You were caught up in their lies hell help you understand you love him. You are his.

He finds out that you are working with him and Bruce and it does hurt him a lot. But then he realizes that there is no way that his innocent darling would ever try to hurt him. You were clearly forced into this. He is furious that Jim has brainwashed you into this. He will help you remember that your his and he is yours. He would take you and treat you like the queen you ate to him. So happy when you finally love him again.

headcanons for dating Andrew!Peter Parker

first things first, you are his entire world!!!

this boy has been through a lot, if he cares enough about you to let you in then you're pretty special

treats you so well (and kind of feels bad that he can't spoil you a lot because of his financial situation but he makes up for it in his enthusiasm and has some pretty creative and cheap date ideas!)

he's such an awkward guy even around you but he tries his best to not let that get the best of him

he wasn't going to tell you about him being Spiderman initially but when a robbery-gone-wrong gets a bit messy and he needs someone to patch him up, there's no one else he'd want to go to

so he shows up at the window of your shared apartment, bleeding from his side, and has to balance trying to get you to calm down whilst also conveying that he needs you to help him stitch his side so he doesn't bleed out on your rug

it's a rough week after that, and he worries that this is it, you're going to break up with him and he's going to lose the best thing that's ever happened to him

it's only when he sees you come home with a huge first aid kit and watching videos about how to properly stitch someone up that he begins to consider that you might accept him continuing to moonlight as a vigilante

he'll still need to hear you say it though,, just to be sure

introduced you to May after about a month (at her insistence because he would not stop talking about you and she wanted to meet you damn it Peter)

she delights in telling you that when she does finally meet you, it's one of the first things she says to you and it does a great job of breaking the ice and embarrassing Peter so win-win

May loves you, she can see immediately how happy you make Peter and that's good enough for her

she's always there for the two of you, no matter what

the first time Peter takes you for a swing, it is terrifying

like your eyes are closed the entire time, you cannot physically grasp Peter any tighter than you currently are, praying to anything you can think to pray to terrifying

it never really gets less terrifying but you trust Peter with your life and you know he would never drop you so you kind of learn to focus on that rather than terrifying nature of the way you're travelling through New York City

you know the risks of dating him (and being seen around him when he's in the suit) but he does everything in his power to keep you out of that part of his life for your safety (and his peace of mind)

it makes it easier going off to fight villains when he knows you're safe and waiting for him to come home, he doesn't like to keep you waiting

nothing makes it more worth it than coming home knowing that you're there waiting for him

his ideal day (especially after a rough night of patrolling) is to sleep in, make you blueberry pancakes, and just spend the day in the apartment enjoying each others company

it's not an easy life that he leads; he has a lot of things he has to balance, there's a lot of risks that come with being Spiderman, and it means everything to him that you're sticking by his side through thick and thin

he can't wait to marry you

Just Another Class Trip :)

Part 1

No, no ignore the smily face i assure you it means nothing foreboding, nothing foreboding at all.

Next >

---------

“It’s suspicious,” Marinette glares as they leave customs.

“What would that be, Mari?” Chloe yawns, not bothering to dedicate her limited remaining brain power apparently.

“Lila,” She whispers back, “She’s been so quiet all the way here,”

“What about how she weaseled her way into first class?” Chloe yawns again, sleep mask resting on her head.

“Or tried to steal your bag,” Kagami says with venom, her having saved Marinette from that disaster.

“Accused you of giving her the wrong flight time,” Adrien adds, somehow being full awake even after their long flight.

“Slipped metal into your pocket so security would go off,” Chloe downright glares at Adrien, but would never admit to the bags under her eyes.

“Came by and woke you up every time you fell asleep,” Kagami looks at her pointedly, shadows under her eyes being her only give away.

“Too quite,” Marinette whispers, the list going largely ignored as they approach the security scan.

“Just relax Mari,”  Adrien pats her shoulder, not enough to break her concentration, “Lila will be so distracted by being in Gotham she won't have time for you,”

Adrien was wrong.

Of course he was wrong.

This is Lila they're talking about.

“Oh Marinette!” Lila all but yells as Marinette is placing her bag in a tray, “I’m so glad you didn’t go through with it,”

Marinette cringes, the security guards all looking her way as Lila dances off. She just sighs as she is escorted away by the airport security, to the protest of her friends and not much else.

“No sir I am not holding any firearms or weapons,” Marinette answers as monotone as possible, the security guard didn’t deserve her ire not matter how tiresome this was getting.

“We interview the source,” Oh no “Apparently you were discussing terrorist activities,”

“I was not sir, Lila must be mistaken,” Yep big mistake, I’m sure that's all it is , “I’m simply here for a class trip,”

“You’re wearing a bulletproof vest,”

Yeah probably should have left that one at home

“My parents are protective, they know how dangerous Gotham can be,” They were not fans of the horror stories Aunt Selina used to tell her from this city, “They insisted I have it as protection,”

While they most certainly wanted her to be safe the vest was more her idea. It was also more for enabling trouble than avoiding it. At least she was trying to be safe about secret crime fighting.

“Makes sense,” He sighs from across the table, checking through some paperwork, “You’re seventeen, here on a class trip right?”

“Yes sir,”

“Well if you’re here on a Wayne funded trip they probably did and extensive background check,” He pauses for a minute looking deep in thought, “Alright then, you can go,”

That seems kind of lax

“Are you sure?”

“We literally have super villains walking through here every other day,” True that, “You’re holding no weapons and have been endorsed by the Wayne's that's better than most people that have been in here,”

“Well if you’re sure,” Marinette stands awkwardly walking to the door as he waves her off, “Is there anything I need to sign, or…”

“Unless I want to fill out extra paperwork, no,” He seems so tired, Marinette wished she could get back at Lila for making his job harder.

“Have a good day then!” She smiles brightly, getting a small one in return.

She leaves, the security guards handing back her bag, fortunately not mentioning the miracle box or her Kwamis. She smiles brightly, even with Lila trying to ruin her trip she could still enjoy her time here in Gotham- and her phone buzzes with an Akuma alert.

With a sigh, Marinette ducks into the nearest bathroom, locking a stall behind her.

“Kaalki,” The Kwami zips out of her bag, “Tikki, Combine,”

With a flash of light followed by another she appears in Paris dropping Kaalki’s transformation.

She looks over the city, some Akuma attacking the Eiffel tower. At least they didn't seem to be the brainwashing type, she didn’t have Chat Noir there to help with crowd control.

With a flip she jumps, planning to kick the Akuma on the way down. They dodge and she lands in front of them instead.

“Well, well if it isn’t the bug,” The Akuma, in a horrible patch work costume mocks, a purple mask appearing over their face, “Hand over your miraculous!”

How about you come and make me Hawkmoth? I promise to stick that cane up your ass

Oh how she wishes she could say just that, but it wouldn't be very Ladybug of her. Why did the younger her have to have a stick up her butt?

“Not today Hawkmoth,” She says instead, making sure to put the practiced amount of enthusiasm into it, “Or any other day for that matter,”

“How are you going to save Paris without your little kitty cat?”

How are you going to beat me with that terrible fashion sense

Besides Chat Noir deserved a break. At least she hoped he was taking a break, he couldn’t tell because of secret identity reasons. It wasn't like she had any right to stop him, she was having a vacation in Gotham right now, and she was out all the time for work. She could manage without Chat for a while, he deserved that much.

“I will do whatever it takes to protect the people of Paris,” Ladybug remembers to answer the question.

“Hand over your miraculous now!” The Akuma lunges at her

I should have chosen a different persona

She dodges the beam of light that can’t mean anything good. Jumping back to get some distance.

Chat Noir had the right idea

She bites back the cutting remark on the tip of her tongue. Instead throw out her yo to wrap around their arm. The Akuma pulls it forward, sending her through the air. She leans into it swinging around to get a better vantage point, studying the monologuing Akuma below.

Maybe I can for Starling

She has created Starling as a vigilante identity to use in Gotham, if the class was ever in trouble. No not if, when . With a sigh she summons her lucky charm getting a table tennis paddle.

Although I’m only meant to use that identity as a disguise to protect the class

The only thing that stood out was the Akuma's hand, she'd have to gather more information before striking.

Maybe Starling can have a word or two with Lila, that could be fun

She drops down in front of the Akuma. They seemed to like monologuing, maybe all she had to do was probe a little bit.

“Why would you want to side with Hawkmoth?”

“This is my family's greatest heirloom it has been passed from generation to generation for centuries, some fool broke it and I was crushed having disappointed all my ancestors!” The Akuma holds up a broach type jewel, “But Hawkmoth- Hawkmoth brought it back and now my greatest and dearest treasure will forever be-”

Ladybug smacks it to the ground, crushing it underfoot.

The Akuma looks at her shocked, letting out a long drawn out gasp. Marinette does not meet their eye as she catches the Akuma. She throws the paddle she used to smack it out of their hand into the air to cast the cure.

I must be really jet lagged, I’m usually at least a little more creative than that, but it worked

She pretends not to see the reporters coming in for interviews, seeing the victim and their broach in one piece. She makes a speedy exit, needing to transport back to Gotham before the class get too ancy.

“I’m sorry the rented bus left a long time ago,” The attendant informed her, looking sorry for the dishevelled teen.

Marinette groaned, so much for running around the airport for thirty minutes with a dead phone. Thanking the attendant she sulks off to collect her bag instead, she’d have to figure another way to the hotel.

She spends another hour hunting down her bag. Chasing after leads of people who might have mistook it. Checking again with Airport security, who again pulled her aside for having a suspicious missing bag. Luckily the security guard before defended her, she brought him a coffee and two for herself.

“Maybe someone will return it?” Tikki whispers, her and Kaalki hidden in the folds of her scarf.

“It’s fine Tikki,” Marinette sighs, halfway through her first cup in under a minute, “I have replicas of all of them anyway, I’ll just grab some samples from the MDC fashion show,”

She’d have to stop by later, the outfits should have been transported last week along with most of her recent catalogue. The only problem was all the other necessities she lost. But that wasn’t a problem, she carried the miracle box in her backpack and that's all that really matters.

“And some of my… special outfits when we go back home,”

She had altered her current outfit to transform into her vigilante disguise. Her scarf pulled up and could be turned inside out into a mask. Her skirt could be transformed into a cape and hood combo. A zip down the middle of the skirt to split it for the cape and a zip up hood that lay flat along her skirt. She simply turned it inside out and wore it around her shoulders. Combined with a bullet proof vest it wasn't half bad, her belt full of weapons could always be hid under her skirt which was a big plus.

She sighs waiting for a taxi in the cold Gotham air, hating it more than most. Although she supposed superhuman strength was a fair exchange for extra cold fingers. Marinette fought to stay awake, she had also been holding Kaalki for so long she was starting to develop the ability to sleep standing up and would doze off randomly. Certainly helpful at times, but not right now.

“Hello,” Marinette is startled out of her drowsiness.

She looks at the hesitant young man before her, looking just as tired as she is.

“Hello?”

“Is something the matter?” Something sparks at the back of her mind, a feeling she often gets from Chloe whenever she is helpful.

Do I look that bad?

“Just a mix up with transportation,” She smiles, he clearly knows it’s fake.

“Do you need a ride?”

“No I’m-” She sighs, what could go wrong getting in the car of a random person in Gotham, “Yes, I do thank you,”

“Over here, I’m Tim by the way” He stifles a yawn, leading her towards a limousine, the door being opened by a driver.

“Marinette, here,” She hands over the extra coffee, “You look like you need it just as much as me,”

Tim looks at her like a god sent, taking the coffee as they reach the limo.

“Good call Alfred,” Tim whispers to the driver, slipping into the car.

“Hello miss, I am Alfred Pennyworth,” She shakes his hand, something stronger fires at the back of her mind, a true holder perhaps? But Chloe was a true holder right?

“Marinette Dupain-Cheng,” She smiles, trying to assess what miraculous would suit him.

“Best get inside Miss Dupain-Cheng,” She climbs inside at Alfred's behest, “Gotham is awfully cold for a Lady,”

She gets the feeling that is not chivalry.

“Where to Miss Dupain-Cheng?” Alfred asks, already in the driver's seat.

“Wayne hotel please,” She pulls her backpack onto her lap, still regarding Alfred suspiciously.

“Traveling alone?” Tim asks absentmindedly, still nursing his coffee cup.

“I’m here with my class, they left without-” No that's no good , “I got held up they went ahead,”

“Class… staying at the Wayne hotel…” Tim mumbles to himself.

“I believe what Master Tim is trying to ask is if you are part of the Martha Wayne foundation trip,” Alfred informs from the front seat.

“Yeah that,” Tim takes another scalding gulp of coffee.

“Yes I sent in the submission, I’m still surprised we got it,” Marinette had been thrilled at a trip to Gotham, it is where her Aunt Selina lives after all.

“You seem very responsibility Miss Dupain-Cheng,” Alfred complements, “Almost as if you could shoulder the weight of Paris,”

“I didn’t say where I was from,” Marinette tenses getting more than a little unsettled, he seemed to know something more.

“Not to worry, I have close connections with the Wayne's and was aware this years class was from Paris is all,”

“I see,” Marinette nods along, the possible meaning behind the comment still being concerning.

“We forgot your bags!!!” Tim suddenly yells, jumping up and making Marinette jump, they both curse in sync as they spill coffee on themselves.

“It’s alright!” luckily the coffee landed on her black tights, so no noticeable stains, “My bags were stolen,”

“Oh…” Tim relaxes back, “Wait… that's not alright at all!”

“It’s fine, I already have a plan to get some spare clothes and I just need to run to the store,”

“Right… to the Wayne hotel was it?” Marinette nods and Tim starts tapping away at his phone.

She fishes out some wet wipes from her bag, passing them to Tim, who looks confused until she points out the growing coffee stain. With a smile and a few more taps at the phone he takes them off her.

“Left behind and bags stolen, doesn't sound like your Lucky day,” Alfred presses, and he needs to stop, it could be chance, surely its just chance.

“I guess not,”

You don’t know the half of it.

“Well I hope the rest of your day is much better,” Tim bids as they pull up to the hotel.

“Thank you, and thank you so much for the ride,” Alfred opens the door for her to get out.

“Not a problem,” She waves them off, watching them disappear down the street.

They’re nice, probably wont ever get to see them again, thats a shame

“Dick! Holy fuck!” Tim kicks down the door of his brothers room, “I just met the nicest girl who's had the shittest day on earth,”

“First of all welcome back, how was your trip?” Dick greets hanging from the ceiling as Tim takes his desk chair, “Second, what are you talking about?”

“Met a girl at the Airport who didn’t have a ride, she gave me coffee,”

“That's enough to buy your loyalty,” Dick grins, Tim flips him off.

“Listen, she's part of that Martha Wayne Foundation trip and her class left her at the Airport!”

“What?!” Dick drops from the ceiling onto his bed, “Thats so dangerous, especially in Gotham,”

“Right?! She even had her luggage stolen!” Tim pushes the chair over to Dick, “And she was still so nice, even after an eight hour flight!”

“You said she was part of the Wayne foundation trip?” Dick asks, getting a nod from Tim, “Yeah, we are definitely seeing her again,”

[punkpresentmic]

But consider a traitor Aizawa AU. He's 1 of the few adults Eri fully trusts—the hero who helps her with her Quirk, who helps take care of her, who makes her apple snacks—& he suddenly disappears. She's told he's betrayed them, that he's bad now, that he's a villain—the same word always applied to Overhaul.

She's still got Mic, Aizawa's husband, who's been betrayed just as much if not more. But it's like there's a hole ripped in the fabric of UA.

& with all the stress of the situation, & Aizawa no longer around to erase it, her Quirk starts acting up again. Doctors prescribe her medication that should help her control it, but the meds don't really seem to be working.

Then 1 day, in the dead of night, Aizawa is back. At her windowsill. He asks her to come with him.

At her clear hesitation, Aizawa tells her she doesn't have to decide right now. He's always let her take her time when she's needed it. This hasn't changed. Aizawa nullifies her Quirk, brings it down to a more manageable level, &—just like that—he leaves.

She tells everyone in the morning about what happened, but there's no evidence of it anywhere—no security footage or alerts, no fingerprints, nothing. & because vivid dreams are a potential side-effect of the meds, it’s all written off as a dream. She’s obviously upset by people’s denial of what she experienced.

All of this takes a HUGE toll on Hizashi. He's probably been hit the hardest, yet he's forced to keep a brave face. He has no other choice. He can't just break down, no matter how understandable it would be. People need him—Eri, the distraught students Shouta left behind, the media. The police also have questions for him; it's hard for them to believe this isn't a 2-person job, & he can't exactly scream in their faces about how much he's lost, about how close he is to losing himself too. No, he has to maintain a mask of professionalism at all times.

But now Eri says his husband was here. In her room. A hall away.

Hizashi pulls an all-nighter in Eri's room. Nothing. Figures. Poor kid. It's been hard on all of them, & it's no wonder her little mind can't process it properly. Hell, he can't think about it without verging on a breakdown—something that with his Quirk could be physically dangerous. His pain could level the building.

But there's no reports of an Eraserhead sighting from Eri the next day either.

Nemuri—who he's been avoiding like the plague throughout all this—gets wind of how sleep-deprived he is, threatens to use her Quirk on him, offers to stay in Eri's room for him. Keep watch. She swears on anything she'll alert him & only him immediately if there's anything... But there isn't. Eri also reports nothing.

It’s the next night, just when they've decided to buy the doctors & investigators' verdict that it was all in Eri's head, that Shouta appears in Hizashi's room (a new, empty staff dorm—the memories in their shared suite too painful).

Immediately there's tears streaming down Hizashi's face. He's been trying so, so hard to keep it together all this time & now, in front of him, his husband is just... standing there. Hands raised in a pathetic way of showing he means no harm, as if he hasn't already done so much harm.

Hizashi clamps a hand over his own mouth, trying not to immediately blast out the windows with the sob that's building in his throat, gripping so hard his fingernails dig into his cheek. Hizashi wordlessly shakes his head, close to hyperventilating, & Shouta looks... tired. He looks really tired. He steps toward Hizashi like approaching a wounded animal, & it's a decent description of how he feels in the moment. Hizashi doesn't try to flee or stop him, frozen to the spot as the tears silently flow.

Shouta raises a hand to touch his face, still so hesitant. His fingers are shaking when they brush Hizashi’s cheek. Hizashi’s eyes snap closed. His hand is gentle. It cups his cheek, a thumb wiping the tears that he’s the cause of.

He wants to get mad, he wants to get mad, he wants to get mad. He wants to explode. Scream the whole teacher’s dorm awake until there’s a dozen pros to take Shouta down. Blast out his eardrums & send him reeling from the vertigo because he left. He betrayed them. All of them. He betrayed him.

But he's not. He’s not mad & he doesn’t know why, only knows that oh god it hurts. Just knows that he’s shaking apart because this is Shouta & he can’t do this. & Shouta’s hand cups his cheek & he lets it happen & he hates that he’s missed it so much. He’s missed him so much.

Shouta's other hand joins, holding his face so tenderly. Their bodies are close, Hizashi can’t lean into him—he can’t—but then Shouta presses their foreheads together & from the shaking exhale Shouta lets out, it almost breaks both of them.

Shouta holds him like that. Hizashi's trembling hands move from his mouth to cover his husband's hands, to grip them tightly like he'll disappear—like Hizashi will wake from a dream.

He doesn't.

Hizashi is shaking his head again, not trusting himself with words, but he can manage a whisper: Why?

"I can't tell you that, 'Zashi."

It's too much. It's been too much for too long, & that's what does it.

"Erase my Quirk."

A questioning look, so familiar. It's the hesitation on Shouta’s part that finally gets that flare of anger burning in his chest.

"Just do it," he growls like it’s a threat, & in a way it is, but the anger is doused as quickly as it arrived.

& Shouta does. His eyes glow golden & good & there’s so much Hizashi doesn’t understand & he shatters.

For the first time in the weeks Shouta has been gone, Hizashi can finally fall apart.

Hizashi clutches two fists in Shouta’s old hero costume, heaving with the sobs & wails he’s been pushing down for far too long now—completely silent, nothing but harsh rushes of air.

If Shouta were to blink for even a second, the windows & all the glass in the room would be gone. But Shouta’s got him, like he's always had him. & Shouta holds him fiercely close to his chest, lets him get it out, & says nothing.

Nightmare

You had known Dazai since his mafia days. You were a friend of Nakahara Chuuya, and had bumped into Dazai when the you and Chuuya were meeting up after your school. You knew that Chuuya was involved in gangs and probably violence, but he was your friend, and you trusted him.

"So, how was school?"

He asked you, hands in his pockets. It had been a few weeks since he had contacted you. He looked different, almost as if these past few weeks have scarred him. His clothes were more expensive. You could tell by their fancy look and glimmer. His jacket was probably genuine leather. He adorned a strange but cute hat too.

"It was okay. Where have you been?"

He glanced at you, raising a bow.

"You must have robbed a bank or something to afford that jacket. It looks really dope, by the way."

He shrugged, avoiding your gaze.

Sighing, he began talking as you two made your way to the park.

...

Sitting down on the swing, you gave the ground a light kick, enough to rock you slightly.

Chuuya sat on the swing adjacent to yours.

"So you joined the mafia. Interesting. "

He was confused as to why you weren't alarmed about his revelation.

"And you're okay with that?"

You shrugged.

"As long as you don't get me killed, or anyone I care about is hurt, I'm cool. Besides, you always find a way to fall into trouble. This isn't new."

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."

"Great."

You heard shuffling behind you. Without turning back, you said,

"You can join us, you know. You don't have to keep hiding. You're doing a really bad job anyways."

"Who're you talking to?"

"The spy in the bushes."

Chuuya swiftly turns around, ready to attack, when Dazai peeps out of the green mesh.

"Dazai, what the hell are you doing here?!"

And that's how you had met your boyfriend. You had seen him in action a couple of times too. It scared you, but you were able to appreciate the human in him.

...

It was pitch black. You couldn't see a thing. Your hands were probably tied behind your back. You could feel the rough threads of the rope dig into your wrists. It hurt. You tried maneuvering your way out of the knots, only for them to grow tighter. Wincing at the pain, you tried to sit up. You were lying on the cold, hard floor of some abandoned building. Your captor was yet to reveal himself.

Pushing yourself up, you quickly got a hold over yourself. Trying to maintain balance, you tried your best to peer through the dark. Soon enough, your eyes adjusted, and you could see that you were in a small room. You could spot the door. Nothing sharp resided near you. You couldn't cut off the rope. Well, you just have to run out of here then. As you were about to reach the door, it flew open.

You gasped, taking a few steps back.

"Thought you could escape? How cute."

Dazai stood at the door. You felt relieved. Maybe he was here to help you! But the look on his face and the sneer at his lips said otherwise.

"Dazai! Thank God you're here. Help me out of these ropes-"

You were cut short as you were suddenly slammed into a wall. The impact and the sudden movement made you gasp.

Dazai stood in front of you, his hands gripping your shoulders tightly, and his knuckles had turned white from the pressure he was applying.

You were sure his fingers would break through the cloth of your shirt and draw blood from your shoulders.

One of his eyes was covered in bandages, while the other was glaring down at you. His entire aura was different.

No. Rather, it was something you hadn't sensed in a long time.

His long black trench coat hung loosely over his shoulders as he towered over your shaking form.

"In case I haven't made it clear; You're not getting out of here. Not alive, that is."

He threw you forcefully to the side. You banged into a wooden desk. The edge hit the right side of your torso. You winced in pain before dropping to the ground. You felt a kick on your stomach. Your entire body lurched forward at the impact.

"Hah! Stop! Please..."

Your words were futile. He kept carelessly plunging his hard boot into your torso. You were sure that you'd broken a few ribs. They had probably pierced your lungs. You could feel blood rise up your throat.

"I'm sorry.. I'm sorry.. what.. did I do..?"

You kept repeating these words, trying to get him to stop. Somewhere along the process your ropes had loosened, but didn't have the energy to free yourself. It would be in vain anyways, since he won't let you step foot outside the door.

After a few more kicks, he finally stopped, crouching down to your eye level.

"You're so pathetic. Goodbye, Y/N."

He pulled out a gun and shot you in the face.

...

You jerked awake, sweat glistening on your forehead and your breaths were shaky and uneven. Dazai woke up from the sudden movement, trying to guage the situation.

"What's wrong?"

His voice sent shivers down your spine, and you scurried off the bed. You placed a hand over your torso, trying to find the bruises that he had probably left.

"Y/N?"

Dazai asks as he slowly makes his way over to you. When you notice him coming tour way, you panic.

"No! Don't come closer! Please! I'm sorry!"

Dazai froze in his place. He knew you were having a nightmare, he just didn't know he was the one making it scary.

"Okay, I won't. Tell me what's wrong."

You stood shaking, back to the wall as you tried making sense of your surroundings. You were able to make out the bed and the bedroom. The room that the two of you shared. It was dark. Probably nighttime. You were just having a bad dream. That wasn't real. This is. Dazai won't hurt you. He isn't in the mafia anymore.

"Y-you won't..  hurt me?"

Your frightened stare and broken whispers broke Dazai's heart. What did you dream? Did you see him as a monster? Is he being a monster to you? Dreams are only reflections of our subconscious minds. So do you fear him?

"No, I won't hurt you."

He says, trying to calm you down.

"Promise?"

You whispered.

"I promise. I won't ever hurt you. Ever."

You gulped down your fear and slowly inched over to him, wrapping your arms around his waist. He stool completely still, fearing that if he moved even a little, he might scare you. You placed your cheek on his chest, inhaling his scent. It really was him. It was your Dazai.

When you realized what had just happened, tears began flowing down your cheeks.

"I'm so sorry.."

You managed to say between sobs.

Dazai hesitantly placed his arms over you, gently rocking you.

"Shh.. Don't cry. It's okay now."

"I'm so sorry.."

"Why are you sorry, sweetheart? It was just a dream, right."

You nodded against his chest.

"But I made you the villain. You're not a bad guy. You're amazing. I don't know why... I can't think of a reason why I saw you..  like that.."

Dazai's heart broke a little more.

"Maybe I am a monster. I'm just too good at hiding it."

His ominous tone wasn't meant to warn you. It was a result of his own self hate. He hated that he used to be a monster. If he hadn't known you, then maybe a couple of years ago, he wouldn’t have thought twice before hurting you.

"No, you're not. You're a child hiding under a strong façade. "

Dazai's eyes widened at that.

"What?"

You pulled back, wiping your tears off your face.

"I saw it the first time we met. You were just a child who was asked to grow up too fast. You hadn't lived your childhood. Under all the threats, jests, murders and plans, you're but a scared child."

He just stared at you.

"That's part of the reason why I trust you. I know you didn't mean to harm. You were just told to. Now that you have a chance to do what you truly want to do, you choose to not harm. I really admire that about you."

You caressed his cheek in your palm.

"I don't know why I dreamt what I just did, but if there's one thing I know for sure, it's that you would never hurt me. I trust you."

Those three words.

'I trust you'.

They were enough for Dazai. They meant so much to him.

With a shaky whisper, he muttered.

"Thank you."

You smiled, pulling him in an embrace.
