thinking about writing a castlevania-inspired malleus/reader fic where malleus is dracula-coded.

y'know. tearing apart a town for daring to try and burn his wife at the stake.

Hello! Welcome to my project called Sewn Up Trouble! These three are the main characters + a few others. Here's just some basic info about them. More will be updated and added. I've made these characters years ago and now I'm trying to actually make them a proper story. I've only made concepts and drawings which i'll be using for the comic. These characters are based on the game LittleBigPlanet. Bonnie Pronouns: she/her Personality: kind and logical. She tries to be a heroic leader and loves helping people out. She thinks more about others than herself. She panics and gets upset when things don't go according to plan. Can be a bit clumsy, and jumbles her words from time to time. Likes: creating, gardening, exploring, sewing, drawing, flowers Dislikes: people that wanna take away the creativity, needles, spikes, (anything sharp pretty much) Extra info: She's a bunny. She has her own garden that she takes care of and wears a sun hat while doing it. She was by herself before she met the others. Fun Fact: She was my first LittleBigPlanet oc Kaida Pronouns: she/her Personality: nice but gets upset at random times, anxious, nerdy Likes: calm places, being creative, campfires, smores, Dislikes: feeling like a disappointment, being stressed, being cold, worrying about what people think of her, not feeling like herself Extra info: She's a dragon. accidentally sets things on fire, has reoccurring nightmares of a shadow like figure, can fly with her wings, has another outfit that's watermelon themed, sometimes feels like she isn't even controlling herself, has this strange voice saying things to her but tries to ignore it, was lonely until she met the others. Fun Fact: I made her based on my username I had for my playstation account. Moss Pronouns: any (mainly he/they) no "it" Personality: very moody, has quite the attitude, doesn't look on the bright side of things, is quite mean, (but sometimes doesn't mean it), complains a lot, takes things seriously Likes: comfy clothing, fairy grunge aesthetic, rock music, reading, light, Dislikes: annoying people, adventures, running, the dark, getting her wings wet, (or being wet in general) Extra info: He's a fairy/ moth. Talks in a monotone voice, would swear (but doesn't wanna do it around certain people). Likes to dress however they want, they don't care what other people think. Doesn't really like adventure and would rather be by themselves, but gets always dragged into things. He can flutter his wings, but only for a short bit of time. He gets tired easily and acts like he doesn't care about others when he kinda does. Seems suspicious of Kaida, what could they be hiding? Fun Fact: He is actually not made in game but I made him in my coding class. Feel free to ask them any questions, if you'd like! Thank you for reading! :D

The appeal mostly comes from the fact that they have shared trauma. They were both expieremented on and turned into something humanoid but not quite human (They also lost their legs).

I feel like Spud being so cautious and sweet could grow on Sebastian, and Sebastian being kind to Spud would make Spud like him back.

Headcanons:

[Headcanons:]

-Spud likes to curl up in Sebastian's tail and sleep there, Sebastian finds this adorable.

-Sebastian can and has sucker punched Gnarpy. (Gnarpy got a broken nose).

-Spud can't breathe underwater, but Sebastian gives him suits from dead prisoners he cleaned up.

-Sebastian, however, can breathe on land, and has come to the surface to talk with Spud. He can't move around on land very well, though.

-Spud hums a lot, and this comforts Sebastian in a way.

-Sebastian has to stay with Spud in the halls, or else the entities will attack her.

-Spud is fluffy, which is a texture that is really nice to Sebastian.

-Sebastian loves Spud's smores.

I CAN'T THE FLUFF IS TOO CUTE AAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!

I hope y'all enjoy it, I might make a fanfic if you all like it enough.

Popped Popcorn

By Misora (@alcmisoyou on X)

*ding dong*

Kou: Good work~

Yuragi: Welcome.

Kou: Huh, it’s only you here? Where’s Akehoshi?

Yuragi: He went to buy some snacks ’cause we don’t have any.

Kou: I see. My bad, I should’ve asked what we needed.

Yuragi: ……? You’ve got something with you.

Kou: Ahh, this. 

I watched a movie earlier, and there’s this super sweet-looking popcorn so I bought it as a gift.

Yuragi: Heh, you’re considerate sometimes.

Kou: Eh~? I always am.

Yuragi: Hand that over quickly.

Kou: Yes, yes.

Yuragi: ……What’s the flavor on this side? It’s completely red.

Kou: Ahh, that one is the habanero flavor. All of us except Yuragi are spicy food lovers so I thought it’d be perfect for us.

Yuragi: It’s still too red. It might give someone a headache.

Won’t Mao be the only one who can eat it?

Kou: You say that, but your usual sweets that smell incredibly sweet would make one’s head and teeth hurt more, you know?

Yuragi: Not at all. I can share some with you when there’s some leftovers.

Kou: Haha, thanks, but I’m sure you won’t be having leftovers.

Plus I don’t like sweets so I would rather not. Yuragi can eat all of them.

Yuragi: Will do. I think they don’t want to be eaten by someone who hates sweets either.

Kou: By that logic, the whole Simulation Dept. won’t be getting any.

Yuragi: ……The caramel popcorn is properly coated.

Seems like it’ll be even more delicious if I make it into something like smores.

Kou: Ooh, you’re completely ignoring me.

Yuragi: Kou, go buy some marshmallows.

Kou: —Ta daa. Somehow, this excellent me has already bought it beforehand.

Yuragi: Heh, you’re considerate sometimes.

Kou: Like I said, I always am.

Dear Diary,

I have a love-hate relationship with this place... but thankfully there's been more ups than downs lately. And maybe it's just the leftover fizzy juice in my system but I think I've finally found my tribe. It's crazy how in just a short time, I've managed to make such amazing friends. I guess Windenburg isn't so bad after all. Anyway The bonfire I went to last week was something straight out of a teen flick, I'm still high off the vibes and energy from that night. We all gathered around this massive, crackling bonfire, the flames dancing to the beat of our laughter and the crashing waves nearby. The salty sea breeze mixed with the scent of marshmallows roasting on sticks, created this cozy, magical atmosphere. Ugh, it was surreal. Truly.

(Yes that is me doing a keg stand with Matthew Felix. Please don't ask.) And can we just take a moment to appreciate the gooey, deliciousness that is s'mores? They had a whole setup with marshmallows, graham crackers, and the most amazing chocolate bars ever. And let me tell you, I have the art of roasting marshmallows down to perfection. There were no burnt marshmallows on my watch! But I'm stalling, let's get into the juicy details... After we stuffed ourselves with smores (I lost count of how many I devoured), we decided to play some fun beach games. There was beach volleyball, water slides, and water balloon fights. And the games didn't stop there! We played a hilarious round of truth or dare, and let me tell you, some secrets were spilled. But it was all in good fun, and I got to know my friends on a whole new level. There's just something about sitting around a bonfire, under the starry night sky, that makes you open up and feel closer to people.

Which is the only logical way to explain Matthew's (and mine) behavior that night (and every night since), and still I can't help but feel conflicted. On one hand, there's this exciting and electrifying connection I share with Matthew; it's like he brings out a side of me that I didn't know existed. But then, there's the familiarity and comfort of Eric, he makes me feel secure and grounded, while still allowing me to be myself without any pretenses. It's like I'm two completely different versions of myself when I'm with them. I've been praying to the universe to send me a sign, a clear answer to let me know which one to choose. But even the universe seems to be confused. I mean, why else would Eric ask me to be his girlfriend during the same week I'm forced to partner up with Matthew for our senior project...

Like I said... Something changed after that bonfire. Or maybe there was something in the water. I don't know. But there are 3 things I know for certain...

1. You probably aren't a good girlfriend when you're disappointed when your boyfriend interrupts the kiss you're about to share with his best friend. *Bonus points if you have to force yourself to feel guilty afterwards.

2. When his best friend offers to start hosting late night study/work sessions at his house, he probably doesn't have the best intentions. And if attending these secret rendezvous involves having to lie to your boyfriend, parents, and best friends.... You probably don't have the greatest intentions yourself.

3. What's done in the dark will eventually come to the light. But it's easy to ignore the impending consequences of your decisions when you have a distraction as hot as Matthew Felix to keep you busy. I should get ready for this gala Until next time diary, XOXO Naomi ♡

Introduction | Meet the Characters | Previous | Next |

[pearlsmater]

this is completely untrue. i feel like instead of actually encountering a show that is completely surface level you have just decided to see it as that even if it makes no sense. with the whole tommy not dressing up thing, that is literally clearly written to contrast with eddie who did dress up. buck has a very obvious face of disappointment. but because people who ship bt don't want that they try to act like the show is actually real life where there would be some practical explanation for why he didn't when the writers could have obviously had tommy dress up with buck if they wanted. there is literally no reason to write that if not to show some sort of incompatability in their relationship, especially compared to buck's with eddie.

just because 911 is not a scorsese movie does not mean that you are supposed to take everything a character says at face value. you guys don't seem to understand that writers enjoy writing stories with complexity. tim minear has literally written for american horror story and decided to do an entire vertigo storyline (regardless of whether general audiences got the reference).

with eddie this logic is even more baffling because literally all of his storylines, in fact his entire character is based on repression and therefore his true feelings are often hidden until he has some sort of outburst. something 911 does a lot is parallel the emergencies with what is happening in the characters lives. in the episode in which eddie first meets kim there is literally an emergency about a man trying to kidnap women to be the "mommy" to his child. when shannon came back in season 2 there were multiple moments where it was made clear that eddie may just see shannon as christopher's mother rather than a partner for him. he literally had to look for a "sign" to re-propose to her which was a possible pregnancy (he also refers to her as mommy twice lmao). also, the entire speech about life being like drowning in chocolate made it obvious that eddie is trying to force himself to do something he does not find very pleasant but is trying to convince himself it's fine.

cut to the kim storyline in season 7, kim herself is the one who says "i guess she was the love of your life" to which eddie, after a pause, responds "i think she was.... yeah, though i'm not sure i knew at the time". from everything we know about their relationship this is not the truth (shannon literally wanted a divorce) and in this dialogue there is a huge amount of uncertainty. so, no this storyline with kim is not just to show us that shannon was in fact the love of eddie's life, but rather that this is what he has (only after her death) decided to tell himself.

i feel like some people are using a backwards logic with this show where they think about what it "should" be or is capable of becoming and so completely ignore the show consistently showing us that yes they do in fact write somewhat complex storylines. taking in and interpreting what is actually happening on screen (the script, performances, and cinematography) is not "reading into things" it's just being an active viewer. nothing i've written above is something i've projected or made up, i just paid attention.

(not to mention the two truths and a lie scene where we find out marisol has never tried smores, a food chris remembers having with his mom, and then eddie jokingly says "we could turn around and leave her now" like.... that was a future mommy interview lmao)

the reason I can recognize canon v fanon is that I watched Scorsese and Nolan movies but when i'm watching 911 I know I'm not watching a Scorsese or Nolan movie.

I know it sounds dumb but this year i realized how many people don't know they're not watching Shutter Island or Inception and they try to apply BigMovie logic to written-in-5-days WeeWoo show episodes.

this means if the show explicitly tells you a character is happy or a relationship is going well you're not supposed to infer they're actually miserable and on the verge of a breakup because they're wearing blue and subtextually blue means unhappy and also they're eating pasta and this means the break up is past-a due.

I love doing it and writing metas and speculating but I know it's fanon and there's a 90% chance that's not what the show means so i'm not gonna be disappointed if my meta doesn't get confirmed.

i'm not saying 911 doesn't have subtext, i'm saying they probably don't use it to deny explicit canon because most people won't pick up on it. and if they went with the kind of theories we come up with on here 90% of the audience would be blindsided and think "where the hell is this coming from".

when you're at the movies sometimes the curtains are shown to be blue but you're supposed to understand they're red and it's actually a dream because the character is always wearing sunglasses. but I don't think that kind of brain power is required to watch and understand abc procedural show n.4636367 airing at 8 pm on thursdays.

I can write even when I don’t want to and even when it is difficult. 

What is happening inside of you that you do not know about?

I learned in a video: when you are a painter, your paintings reveal things about you that you do not know yet. So, where is that information? What information do I not know about myself? What is hiding right now? Do artists feel that urge to call things out of hiding? The marvel and the horror of the self. I hold. Okay.

This writing barely feels lived in. I am a program downloading a self in real time. I fucked this dude after a push day and he was on Grindr, despite him saying that he was not interested in hooking up with me. I was curious about that. Because it is not logical.

(A man looked at me the way a man looks at another man who finds his girlfriend attractive. But I am a gay man. It made me laugh. I am not threatening except I wear the face of a predator.)

I am forcing myself to go to the gym. I will feel better. What is the story I tell myself? How much relief can I afford anything? How much. How much.

A few days ago I made the choice to not drink as much coffee. I went without coffee for three days and was so tired. At least I was recovering from something manageable. 

The Fulbright psychosis has calmed down because either I get it or I do not get it and I can get the email in the next two weeks so so so so so so so so what? I am here and that is swell. 

Yesterday, I went to Cheesequake State Park with Ananya and Ava and spent $50 at a Sushi dinner and then made smores over a fire on the deck and it was a lovely day and I can do this. I will be both more and less lived in. At least, I am not one of the workers in this dining hall because to spend any more time in here would be condemnatory. 

I have choir tonight. I have been recording my day to see what it is like to condense a week into a video. To have plans and to be lonely. To give such a little fuck that I am already dead. Writers are afraid of [.       .]. Let’s get famous and not have such bad thoughts. I came so hard I didn’t cry for two weeks. On the eighth I felt something soften. What do you know about anything and why are you here in this place? Have you ever captured that feeling of needing to run away and escape your life? Have you packed your things and imagined something better for yourself? Forge. How have you made peace with your untimely demise?

Everything with Batman is the same except he's a snacker. Bruce could never eat only at breakfast, lunch or dinner, he just never worked like that. Thomas and Martha had such a hard time trying to get baby Bruce to eat at a set time. He wouldn't be hungry at dinner time but at 2am? He was craving some marshmallows.

So the solution to that is him carrying snacks all over the place. Bruce will be at a gala and chomping on some grapes while trying to avoid the mayor. He'll be in an interview, talking about his latest poem related to Gotham's gothic architecture and nibbling on smores.

The Justice League are especially used to it. On the rare times when Bruce forgot to bring food, the others have him covered. J'onn slides him cucumber sandwiches, Ollie has honey-covered apple slices and Clark has his oatmeal cookies that Bruce said he liked. The JL are planning for the next cosmic threat and Diana, Clark and Bruce are having a picnic in the back.

It came in handy when his kids were little and they'd get hungry during movie premieres and fundraisers. He'd just whip out snacks from his suit pocket and they'd munch on some. Even now that most of them are grown, they still slide up next to him and tug on his wrist when they're hungry.

(The only time Damian wants to be referred to as a child is when he's arguing that only he should be entitled to Bruce's snacks cause he is the only actual child. No one else listens of course)

And I know it's canonical that Batman carries like sweets in his utility belt for Robin and any kids he may come across but some of them are for him too. Imagine being a goon and Batman dislocates your shoulder while peeling an orange. I'd just quit.

People have connected Bruce's eating habits to Batman's but instead of the logical theory of Bruce being Batman, they just think that Batman is a secret Wayne child that Bruce doesn't know about. They don't want to upset him so this theory is never brought up in his presence.

(Also Bruce 🤝 Speedsters

Having to constantly eat because you have eating habits that no one else gets)

Now I'm just imagining the s/o who is afraid of fire confronting their family about worrying their monster boyfriend. S/O'S FAMILY: "Well you were always afraid of fire and he IS fire, so -" S/O: "By your logic, I am the same thing as a plucked chicken, because both are featherless, fleshy bipeds." S/O'S FAMILY: "..." S/O: "Listen, I appreciate the concern, but I assure you that I feel very safe with him. Fire can hurt me, but he would not. I will ask that you respect him."

Ah yes, some delightfully delivered fresh tea.

Part 1

Part 2

------

Solemnby

He’s able to pick up how mad you are, but you’re very collected as you confront your family. He’s got the feeling they’re just. Kind of like this. That this wasn’t out of line or out of the blue from them. He bases the feeling on how you confront them. He’s taking a mental note to be wary of them in the future, because if they’re like this, its possible there will be further issues in the future. He’ll be sure to discuss anything with you as well so you’re aware and they don’t cause the two of you problems.

Jerkby

The roasting of their logic has him grinning ear to ear. He’s delighted to be defended like this. Someone to come to your defense?? That’s so sexy, just absolute chef’s kiss. Ideal. He likes the idea of getting used to it. He’s a tough monster, but someone BEING THERE FOR YOU???? Nothing he can do would be able to replace that feeling it provides.

Sweetby

Yes! Please respect him, he’s very respectable! He cannot change being a fire monster! Be nice to him! He’s existing very politely! If not chaotically. He doesn’t like the implication though, that they’re purposely trying to put a wedge between the two of you. That’s ominous, in an unsettling and uncomfortable way for him. He’s taking mental notes to watch their behaviors a little more closely. 

Smores

Oh so he’s right to have been concerned about your family’s words. He’s quick to catch up. It was THAT kind of concern huh? The kind that does nothing but bring harm, whether intentional or not. Got it. That’s what they do. He’ll be sure to bring things up, but he’s sure to be taking their opinions and thoughts like this with a grain of salt. Unless they prove themselves to him of being better then that, he’s going to be very wary of them. 

[finalgirlbrainrot]

I have two unpopular opinions 1) if roles were reversed and Dean was the one drinking blood, Dean stans would have excused the shit out of it and even liked it. 2) if none of Dean's trauma was addressed and ignored (like most of Sam's trauma is) Dean stans would fucking riot.

intensely aggressively strongly agree | strongly agree | agree | neutral | disagree | strongly disagree

(sorry in advance, I ranted A Lot)

2) I'm gonna start with this one. YESYESYES I mean dean stans are already constantly unironically whining that dean's traumas never get acknowledged (EVEN THO IT'S LITERALLY NOT TRUE, HIS TRAUMAS ALREADY GET ACKNOWLEDGED MORE THAN ENOUGH. EVERY TIME HE STUBS HIS TOE. EVERYONE IS CODDLING HIM AND ASKING HIM HOW HE'S DOING. HALF THE SHOW IS LITERALLY DEAN MANPAINING ABOUT HIS TRAUMAS - but apparently that's not enough for them, so I can't imagine the uproar if it was actually true). meanwhile sam's traumas either get ignored or they get treated like a fucking joke? well I guess it's just another tuesday

I've also seen a lot of dean stans moaning about sam "forcing dean to talk about his traumas", because apparently sam actually acknowledging dean's traumas and encouraging him to open up about them and being always supportive af because he actually cares is unacceptable (and I'm willing to bet that if he didn't acknowledge them, they'd still complain because sam literally can't win no matter what he does)

but dean ignoring and never acknowledging sam's traumas (not even when he's directly responsible for said trauma) or making them all about himself (mystery spot, hallucifer, soullessness, gadreel possession) or vilifying and victim blaming him (being force-fed demon blood, soullessness, gadreel possession) or using said traumas to justify his actions (hallucifer) or making cruel, disgusting and unnecessary jokes about them ("you had a girl inside you for a whole week" [meg possession] "you know how wrong that sounds, right?" "you've like an episode of teen mom" [gadreel possession - let's talk about how these two in particular are a thousand times more disgusting than the rest since he's actually joking about a violation he's directly responsible for] "smores foot" [bmol torture] "crybaby pie" [cole torture] "you saw the [devil's] john [or butt]?" [the cage] dick of death jokes right, left and center) is perfectly acceptable behaviour

1) again YESYESYESYES. I mean, this isn't even a hypothesis, we already have an extremely similar storyline for dean - the moc - and everyone made excuses for him and glorified him, even tho he was worse than demon blood sam in every possible way

actually I wrote a rant on reddit a couple of days ago about the awful double standards between demon blood sam and moc/demon dean. I'm gonna paste it here because I'm Bitter Af

comparing demon blood sam and moc/demon demon is ironically and hysterically bitter because, logically, no matter how you spin it, s4 sam is much more understandable and easy to sympathize with - both in intentions and actions - and should have the moral high ground, while s9-10 dean was flat out awful and damaging. yet both the show and the fandom crucify sam and treat dean as some poor victim or a great martyred hero who made some great noble sacrifice and I just... don't get it. so let's break it down:

> reason for drinking blood / getting the moc

- sam: exorcising demons without harming the host, thus saving people (which apparently isn't that relevant to dean) and killing lilith, first because she sent his brother to hell and then to stop the apocalypse and because she was an actual threat

- dean: because he couldn't face the consequences of his actions after the gadreel mess and decided he wanted to kill abaddon, who, at that point, wasn't even their problem (she only became a real problem in 9x17, when they learned about the soul harvesting, so unless dean has some sort of prophetic knowledge, he had no reason to take the moc in 9x11) and was a real threat to no-one but crowley

> trusting / working with a demon

- sam: I've already said this before, but ruby was a master manipulator and went to extraordinary lengths to gain sam's trust and even managed to fool every single demon (aside from lilith obviously). as far as both brothers knew, she's done nothing but help them, saved their lives multiple times and helped them save others, fixed the colt for them, was there for sam after dean died, is basically hunted by other demons for helping them, has risked her life for them several times and even got tortured for them and was helping sam to go after the demon who was trying to start the apocalypse. sam had absolutely no valid reason not to trust her. I'd really like someone to look me in the eyes and tell me that, if anyone did everything I mentioned above, you wouldn't trust them

- dean: trusted a demon who they knew is extremely untrustworthy and self-serving and only does what's in his best interest and has screwed them over one way or another every time they worked together and has hurt people they're close to

> level of manipulation involved

- sam: as I already said, ruby was a master manipulator and spent two years carefully manipulating sam to get him to do what she wanted. not the mention everything azazel did to get him there, lilith pushing his buttons at every turn to get him to kill her and the manipulation from heaven as well, who were lying to the boys at every turn

- dean: while crowley was manipulating him, the level of manipulation isn't remotely comparable to the one sam went through is s4. crowley saying “let’s kill abaddon” and pretending to be afraid of cain is not comparable to a plan that’s been set on motion since the beginning of time and crowley wasn't the only one involved in dean getting the mark. cain was involved as well and he wasn't manipulating him (unlike sam, who was being manipulated by everyone involved). on the contrary, he was completely honest with dean and even offered to tell him more about the mark and DEAN REFUSED (like can you imagine how many problems would've been avoided if dean sat on his ass for one minute and listened to cain's warning???)

> actions

- sam: in s4 sam was trying to use something that was forced on him when he was six months old, and that he hated about himself, to do good because he felt like he had to and was literally SAVING PEOPLE and trying to stop the apocalypse, I literally still don't get why he's vilified for it????? in s4 sam killed a total of one (1) person: the possessed nurse and while that was obviously bad, 1) he was clearly upset about it and 2) I still haven't seen one (1) valid reason for why she's any different from the demons dean drained and killed in swan song or from any of the other possession victims they killed with the demon knife or the angel blade

- dean: meanwhile dean was going around murdering people left and right (also another example of fandom double standards: everyone defends moc!dean and demon!dean because "he only killed bad people" - which isn't even true, but let's say he was - and yet, I seem to remember a certain kitsune named amy pond, who was ALSO killing bad people (and not for the lolz of it, but to save her son) and dean killed her and the fandom defended him back then as well. is killing bad people okay only if dean does it?), tried to kill sam, beat cas bloody

> keeping secrets

- sam: keeping his powers and the demon blood a secret was his god given right, since it affected no-one but sam himself and the demons he was exorcising. not to mention, he had pretty good reasons for not telling dean, considering his bigotry, black and white views and judgmental attitude. and yet, he was, and still is, vilified by both the show and the fandom for keeping secrets and dean even punched him for not telling him about his abilities (something in particular about this point that absolutely drives me up the wall: in 4x04 sam accidentally revealed that he knew about what azazel did to him and dean got mad at him for not telling him about it, even tho dean himself found out about it and didn't tell sam and no-one - not the show, not the fandom and not even sam and dean themselves - notices the hypocrisy. they're literally saying that it's okay for DEAN to keeps something about SAM a secret from SAM, but not okay for SAM to keep something about HIMSELF a secret from DEAN. if you don't think that's super fucked up, then I don't know what to tell you)

- dean: no-one says anything about dean keeping the effects of the mark a secret, even tho, unlike s4 sam, lying about the mark directly affected other people and put everyone around him in danger, including sam

> general treatment

- sam: everyone treated sam like a monster in s4, dean straight up called him a monster, told him he'd hunt him if he didn't know him, forced him into a torture-detox that almost killed him, tried to control him and refused to see his point. at the end of s4 sam apologized to dean. in s5 dean repeatedly told him that he doesn't trust him. sam was blamed for everything that happened in s4 and his mistake kept getting brought up even seasons later

- dean: everyone and their mom was coddling him and helping to get rid of the mark. everyone considered the mark to be the problem, not dean himself. sam was unconditionally supportive. dean never once apologized to sam for any of the awful things he said/did to him while he had the mark. sam never once blamed dean for anything that happened in s9-10 and instead placed the blame on crowley and none of the things dean did ever got brought up again

Campfire Songs Ruined By Resident Trash Man

This scenario, presented by my co-conspirator...

"She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes~"

Like all the sides are there, roasting marshmallows for smores...

Remus: pops out from a bush, "I NAMED MY DICK, MOUNTAIN, BECAUSE OF THAT SONG."

Patton chokes on his s'more.

Logan: whispered, "I did too."

Roman: "I CAN NEVER SING THIS SONG AGAIN WITHOUT THINKING OF MY BROTHERS DICK!"

Patton: "I can never hear that song without thinking of choking because of your brothers dick."

All sides snap their heads around to look at Patton.

Patton: "What? It was so shocking i swallowed my s'mores wrong... anD oh mY GOD DID I JUST SAY THAT?!"

Janus: walks out from the woods, "Why is everyone staring at Patton like he's said the worst thing imaginable?"

Logan: mouth opens and closes as he repeatedly tries and fails to explain the situation logically.

Roman: "That's it. I'm never singing that song again. Collective vote to purge that song from memory? All in favor say Remus no Remusing!"

Everyone votes affirmatively, except for Remus.

Roman: "Ok, now that we've settled that, next song on the docket?"

Logan: "Do your ears hang low?"

Remus: "I"m waaaAAAYYY AHEAD OF YOU ALL!"

Remus proceeds to enact the entire song anatomically.

c!Thomas "Why do i suddenly feel like i've forgotten one of my favorite songs from my childhood?"

[-Later- ]

The next time Thomas hears the song...

c!Thomas: "Why do i suddenly feel like calling my dick "The Mountain" and also have a mental image of choking via my dick?"

And then:

Me: i just pictured him having an awkward convo w/ joan abt this

Him: just as they're in the car 

Me: i feel like c!joan(?) would lose their shit lmao

Him: while joan is driving that's when the song came on and thomas says it out loud

Ben Gen 10 - Live Reaction Review

Right, so since I’ve finally got my hands on the new crossover episodes, and since my favourite show of all time is Generator Rex, I thought I’d watch it and write down things along the way. Mostly just reactions to things happening as they go, and then probably a simple review at the in another post of what I liked, didn’t like, and maybe what other ways this episode could have gone.

Spoilers! Kind of, for those who haven’t seen it yet! But onto the watching!

Should probably mention I haven’t seen a whole lot of the Reboot Ben 10. Not awful from what I’ve seen, some interesting and well-done aspect even, but certainly not my cup of tea. But I’m here for my boi Rex anyway so…

This is actually quite a cute theme song intro, not gonna lie

Ah, yes, a very American opening in a very American location.

Lol, of course they use Heatblast as the first alien in the episode, got the same voice actor as Rex, nice touch.

Evil...trees? Are these actually villains in the show?

Also, that little girl is precious.

Ben, are you trying to start a forest fire in the middle of the park?!

Ha, Gwen gets it!

Ah, yes, more American stuff.

“Don’t wreck the precious monuments” should have seen what you did to Mount Rushmore in your past, Ben.

Sup, Hex.

Music is evil, got it.

So Ben’s aliens are pretty famous already, at least being treated more like celebrities than monster sightings.

“Burn the flute!” A.K.A nearly burn Hex in the process.

And that’s why Ben never passed music class.

And why exactly do you want the world, Hex?

“Hopefully the last one of the summer” Don’t jinx it Max!

Time goes by so fast, doesn’t it Ben? Especially with aliens, villains and timetravel.

Max is secretly an EVO with that kind of growl.

Yes, because as we all know, villains will stop trying to take over the world once summer is over. They must hibernate for the winter.

Also, Max, did you steal those marshmallows?

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…….Ben, you good there?....Did Hex do something to your brain?

Who thought this would be great to animate!?

We all have those existential crises and talk to smores.

Jesus, Rex, got ninja skills I see.

Some homeless kid and his monkey stole my food? Time to kick some ass!

My favourite alien, Canonballoon.

I’ve missed my boy and his chimp.

Awwwww they’re sharing! Also just….feel so bad for them already. Homeless and struggling for food, my poor boys.

So EVOs do exist here? Wonder how that will be explained.

Ben out here really trying to beat up some other kid, lol. What a great hero.

Bobo, you are great.

I feel like...Ben’s going through some issues.

Ah yaaaaaaaaaaa, bring on the EVO powers! BFS!

Look ma, no hands!

Rex 1, Ben 0

Ben really wants to commit murder or assault here, wow.

Overboard is the word I’d use, yes.

The life of a background character.

Nanites confirmed! And now they’re in the watch, that ain’t good.

Huh...not what I thought was gonna happen.

The little girl is still precious.

This would be fun to explain to Azmuth.

This ain’t good.

On the run from Providence I see.

Awww, poor Rex. Really doesn’t want to hurt anyone.

I can’t tell if these people are angry because of the DNA affect them, or they’re really just being angry in general.

See ya, Gwen and Max.

Interesting to see that the Providence aircraft looks straight out of the show.

Evening, Six.

Still a badass like normal.

He said Omega, he said the word!

Also, nice blame game there Ben. It’s not like you provoked Rex by, ya know, trying to crush him like a grape.

Um...Six...did you just….try to kill a kid? He didn’t know Ben had powers, that pillar could have easily crushed a normal human.

“This is how you try to convince me you’re not a threat?” Say the dude who just tried to murder a kid!!”

Oh no, he Naruto runs! 

Oh, hello Hex.

Also, what is Providence in this world? What are EVOs and Nanites in this world? None of this has been explained yet.

Ok, so that’s what Providence is...You’d think we would have seen them before based on all the aliens showing up who want to destroy the world.

EVO Generator....I wonder if that means that there aren’t very many EVOs, like maybe there is only a set group from the same lab, and Rex is considered the most dangerous because he can make EVOs.

Ben, do you even know what an EVO is?

Jeez, I know Six is like, the sixth deadliest man on the planet, but he just tackles alien Ben like it’s nothing. This guy should take on Vilgax.

Did he say nib libs?

My boi’s back!

I’m not liking this Six...very much not the character I’ve come to love. Who are you and what have you done with the real Six!

Lol, gotta make sure the kids at home know these aren’t real guns!

Using a net on one kid, and about to beat the crap out of the other, nice.

I do have to ask why Hex was picked to me the main villain, beyond whatever the hell Providence is doing. Why the magic dude and not a tech based villain? Someone who could be both interested in the watch and nanites.

What a covenant spell you have there, Hex.

Again, why do you want to take over the world?

“No, those are my aliens!” I think that’s the least of your concern there, Ben.

Bobo 1, Hex 0

Why is Bobo one of the best-written character’s here? Not that I hate Bobo, but just…

Lol, Rex did you just lay there, the entire time? What was that net made out of?

Ah, right. Let’s attack the children rather the magical manic who clearly stated he wanted to rule the world.

Those nets are fireproof apparently.

Ooof, ah….quite the sore spot there, Ben.

Just let me hug Rex, please…

Are there EVOs are are there not!?

I know this is supposed to connect with older fans, but most of this info would fly over the head of anyone who hasn’t watched Generator Rex. They act like everyone knows what EVOs and nanites are.

Still with the blame game are we, Ben?

Judging by that look, Rex’s parents are also dead in this world. Guess he’s not allowed nice things in this universe either.

That flashback was….so latching in the dramatic department. 

Now ya wanna help, Ben.

He’s so scared of himself, noooo!

Ya, but the different between you and him, Ben, is that he lost his parents, his home, got mutated, his memories became hazy, got locked up and called a monster, and now lives on the streets stealing smores. I think Rex has more of a reason to feel scared at being new with the hero business.

Bobo gets it.

Gotta love they added details on Gwen and Max’s alien forms to make them stick out from the rest. Don’t want to confuse anyone lol.

Thinking of a clever comeback on the spot is hard, not gonna lie.

Yes, Ben, drown him.

Again, with the American music, lol. It ruins the fight scene here.

What is this fight scene?

Original Providence agents would have died on screen rather than ditching the fight.

God, everyone’s made Rex feel like everything is his fault, poor guy.

Rock 1, Ben 0

This message and heartfelt moment falls flat, the build-up wasn’t there and it just...kind of happens. It lacks a lot of flavour and impact, and it doesn’t help with how most of these characters are written.

Old people jokes.

Now we shift the blame to Kevin.

Is Fourarms Gwen bigger? Because if so, nice touch, since we know female Tetramands are stronger/bigger than the men.

Ok, so attempted murder is fine when Six and Ben try to do it, but not Rex, got it.

Get in line Hex, you’re not the first who wants to ‘recruit’ Rex. You’ve got Providence, Van Kleiss, Quarry, Black Knight, that one band, and so on so fourth.

Why is this heartfelt moment suddenly happening now? This feels like it could have been placed back when Rex refused to fix the watch.

Ben…”I’ve already tried that!” Bruh, you tried beating him up, telling Six and Providence you saw him, basically acted like he wasn’t a good hero because he refuses to get over his trauma, and reached out your hand once because it benefited you....I get what they’re trying to do, but it just makes Ben look like a jerk. I get he’s ten, but still…

Just...slap him Bobo, please…

Why are we so nervous about Rex’s sword? Ben you have aliens that can burn, cut, smash and so on, and you barely care what you do. Remember how you nearly started that forest fire at the start?...

Yo, what!? What kind of logic is that, Providence? “Whelp, guess earth is screwed, might as well burn it”

Ya, remember that time when EVOs infected the whole world, and Providence decided to just burn everything down with lasers? 

Extendo blade.

Huh, so Six’s blades can break down Rex’s builds.

Salamander...don’t you mean...Skalamander?

One ship? What is Providence packing!?

Yasss, Punk Busters!

Rex is crying, how dare you!

Now we got Smack Hands, you’re in for it, Hex!

Ooooooooooooooonnnnn iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttttttttt!

Ah yes, the sixth most beautiful man on the planet.

Again...what is with the nuking?

Magical cloth fixing, just what I need.

Pure chaos with my boy.

Cracking his neck made me cringe.

Also why the sudden change in heart, Six? This feels out of character for the character who is out of character.

Look, Rex, you’re either gonna fix the watch, or you’re gonna start the self destruct countdown. Everything is going to hell, so might as well take that 50/50.

And it worked!

Ah ya, about that missile.

See’s missile inbound “I can handle it!”

Iron Giant vibes around here.

Screw ruling the world, I’m gonna murder this one child!

My cat’s the same.

REX, DID YOU JUST KICK A MISSILE!?

So that’s his full name?

I think you need to work on those vacation days with your boss, Six.

You are not Six, I will never accept you.

So the episode starts with Rex being alone, homeless and being chased by Providence, and ends with him being alone, homeless and being chased by Providence. What was the improvement here? Self Confident?

Ben even just lets him go, doesn’t even offer him to stay with his family.

Rex deserves better.

Another heartfelt moment that just...falls flat…

“Always be family and be there for you, Ben” Until you go to college without telling him before hand

So!...That was the crossover. Not...amazing sadly. I didn’t have high hopes to begin with, and mostly was just happy enough to have Gen Rex be acknowledged. But this Crossover missed a lot of points, and fumbles quite a bit. It reminds me a lot of the Secret Saturdays Crossover and what was wrong there. But I’m tired and will do a break down/proper review another day, if people are keen for that. Thanks for reading this if you did, it was a rollercoster!

[secretobsessionstuff]

Hey Max, can I request a group party (christmas or Thanksgiving or similar) and they're all having fun, except they all get food poisoning from the pie? You can pick whoever you want there, I just want the group! (And maybe some Kota/bee...) 😏 Please?

This was a fun challenge to write! I hope it’s good :) 

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

It was a miracle that everyone was home for the holidays. Normally Madix brought Riley to his family’s house for thanksgiving, but those plans changed when Dakota and Blair were actually staying in the city instead of going to see Blair’s family. As you can imagine, the four of them took advantage of the opportunity.

Since Riley was doing most of the cooking, they planned to have dinner at his and Madix’s place. Like most thanksgiving, everyone was eager to start eating, so by around 4 o’clock they had already begun digging into the classic thanksgiving dishes. There was turkey, mashes potatoes, stuffing, and a creamy peach pie. Riley was most proud of the pie because it was a super simple recipe that required no baking, and it was topped with freshly cut peaches.

Making the entire meal was a challenge even with Madix helping him because the kitchen was so tiny. The space got squishy and dirty fast. The counters were piled high with dirty cutting boards and utensils. The mess was thankfully worth it when everybody said that the meal was delicious. Riley didn’t say this out loud, but he felt like a proper adult for cooking his own thanksgiving dinner. As for the experimental pie, he was definitely going to save the recipe because everybody loved it – well everybody but Dakota who didn’t like peaches. That was fine; more for the rest of them.

When the meal was finished and everybody’s stomachs were stuffed like a turkey, Madix collected all the dishes and piled them in the kitchen. He sighed, seeing that once again the kitchen was a disaster. He started to put all the leftovers in containers before anything would go bad when Riley came up behind him and gave him a hug.

“I’m so glad we got to do this,” he mumbled into Madix’s back. “I hope I did the meal justice.”  

Madix turned around and wrapped his arms around Riley. “Are you kidding? I think I prefer this to my family’s thanksgivings.”

“Really?”

“Definitely,” Madix said as he continued to clean up the kitchen. “Plus, there’s less drama.” He smiled while throwing away all the scraps of food.

Riley beamed and practically skipped away. Before he went to rejoin Dakota and Blair, he turned back to Madix and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek. “This is your family’s thanksgiving.”

For the rest of the afternoon and evening, the four of them spent the time sitting outside in the brisk fall air. Blair sat in Dakota’s lap, saying it was to keep warm, but Madix guessed they just wanted to be touching. He couldn’t blame them, having scooted his own chair closer to Riley so they could hold hands under the table. It was thanksgiving after all and what better way to remind yourself of your blessings than to held them in your arms. Dakota was doing literally just that.

“It’s too bad Alexi and Micah couldn’t make it,” Dakota said while he leaned back and sniffed the smoke-filled air. Someone was having a campfire and it made him want to have smores.

Riley nodded, “Micah said they had this trip planned for ages.”

“We should do that sometime,” Dakota said as Blair fidgeted on top of him. He winced when her elbows dug into his chest. She really couldn’t sit still. “Go on a trip, I mean. The four of us.”

“Where?” Madix asked but immediately started to zone out again.

“Blair’s always wanted to go to Australia.” Dakota said, hopping to get his girlfriend more involved in the conversation, but she just sat there silently.

Her head was curled up by his neck with her eyes occasionally closed. He kept watching her while he spoke, but she never pipped up. In fact, Dakota felt like he was carrying the whole conversation by himself. Madix and Riley also looked sleepy and distracted. Eventually, he stopped talking and they sat in peaceful silence. Dakota thought it was peaceful anyway.

Blair started to shift around uncomfortably again. She moaned and buried her face in Dakota’s sweater. Dakota was going to ask her to get off because his legs were falling asleep and his body couldn’t take another attack, but then he heard her belly gurgle. It didn’t sound very pleasant to Dakota, not like hunger. Besides, Blair was tiny. There was no way she was hungry again.

He bounced his knee once, just to get her attention, but that made her moan again and warp her arms around her body as if she were cold. “You feeling okay, bee?” he whispered.

Blair shook her head. “…my stomach’s upset,” she mumbled back.

Madix looked to his friend, seeing that they were talking quietly to each other. “You guys okay over there?”

“Yeah, yeah,” Dakota stammered while helping Blair off his lap. They both stood up, Dakota grabbing her waist as they walked away from the table. “We’ll just be a minute.”

“Everything alright?” Riley asked weakly.

“Yes,” Dakota lied. He knew Riley didn’t like when people were sick, so he decided to keep this to himself. Judging by the greyish tint to Blair’s face, she looked exactly like someone Riley would want to stay away from. Obviously, Dakota didn’t notice the greyish tint to all their faces.

As soon as Dakota and Blair went inside the house, Madix stood up from his chair. He exhaled heavily while rubbing his stomach. Being upright had the immediate effect of causing a burp to rumble up from his chest. A long sigh came next, unfortunately the relief he felt was short-lived.

Madix paced around the patio furniture, hoping that movement would help with the nausea. He hadn’t wanted to say anything with everyone there, but his stomach was roiling. When he looked own, his hands were shaking from the intense queasiness. For some reason, dinner was just not sitting well, and he realized that vomiting was a very real possibility at this point. Maybe he had eaten too much or perhaps he was just sick. Either way he had to tell Riley.

He stopped pacing because that wasn’t helping, and leaned against the back of a chair. He breathed out slowly, trying to get his nausea under control. “Ry…” His voice was shaky. “I have to tell you something.”

To Madix’s surprise, Riley answered by spreading apart his legs and vomiting on the spot. A huge gush of brownish sick splattered between his feet just as another retch tore up his throat.

Madix held back a gag and somehow swallowed his nausea enough to go to Riley. While breathing through his nose, he rubbed his boyfriend’s back through another round of heaving. “Oh love, I know, I know.”

“Ugh,” Riley groaned with his head between his knees. “I don’t –” He tired to speak but he kept gagging.

“Don’t speak yet. Just get it all up first,” Madix said while tracing circles onto his back. He couldn’t watch though. He had to look away as torrents of barely digested food fell out of Riley’s mouth. But averting his gaze wasn’t enough. He could still feel the muscles in Riley’s back spasm whenever his shoulders rolled forward. And the smell was too much to handle for his own sour stomach. Madix leaned away and gagged into his elbow.

When Riley came up for air, he heard Madix gagging behind him and felt awful. Madix wasn’t usually a sympathetic puker, so this made him feel like crap. “I’m sorry. I’m being so gross.”

“It’s okay. It’s – hic – not our fault,” Madix said in between retches. He had neither the energy nor the desire to reconsider that sentence. He didn’t have the will power to keep comforting Riley anymore either because his stomach decided time was up. He walked away from his boyfriend as his own belly sent up his dinner. He pitched forward and covered the grass with a thick brown gush.

“Madix!” Riley called out. He somehow found the motivation to stand up, and step around the puddle of sick at his feet. It was always easier for him to deal with people throwing up if he was also sick. He wasn’t entirely sure why, but at least it allowed him to go to Madix. “Oh gosh, okay.”

Madix seemed like a running faucet that simply never found peace. He could hardly catch his breath in between waves and each heave sounded like it was destroying his throat. Riley patted his back, growing increasingly worse about the whole situation. This was bad. Madix was really sick. This wasn’t just from sympathy.

“Oh God, I’m so sorry,” Riley said once Madix stopped actively being sick. There were two puddles of vomit, two very nauseous people, and only one logical explanation. “It’s the food, it has to be.”

“Most likely,” Madix agreed while spitting on the grass. “Please don’t blame yourself though.”

“How can I not? I poisoned us all!”

“You don’t know that. It could have been handled wrong.”  

“I guess,” Riley admitted while rubbing the back of his neck.

“Dammit,” Madix mumbled as he walked back into the house, “I’m going to go check on Dakota and Blair.” As he left, Madix heard Riley curse under his breath.

It was fairly obvious what Madix was going to find in the house. He didn’t even waste time and went straight to the bathroom. As he expected, the door was closed and the light was on. He knocked lightly.

Dakota and Blair’s night had gone quite similarly, with one major difference.

Blair was curled up around the toilet, puking her guts up while Dakota held her hair back. It wasn’t long after sneaking away from Madix and Riley, that Blair found herself on the bathroom floor. She had told Dakota that she felt like she was going to be sick, and they were locked in the bathroom ever since.

“I’m sorry, babe,” Dakota cooed while kissing her shoulder.

Blair wiped her mouth and leaned back against the bathtub. “I don’t know what happened.”

Dakota touch the back of his hand to her forehead and frowned. “You don’t feel warm.”

Later, a light knock came at the door once Blair was done being sick for the fourth time in a row. They both looked at each other, knowing that they’d been gone far too long.

Blair sighed. “I ruined the night.”

“You didn’t ruin anything,” Dakota assured her as he stood up from the floor to open the door. “They’ll understand.”

Dakota opened the door just enough to let himself out, and he shut it again to give Blair privacy. He joined Madix in the hallway and leaned against the wall. Madix looked concerned, and kinda awful, Dakota thought.

Madix’s expression twisted to confusion when Dakota came out looking pretty normal actually. “Are you guys okay?”

“Not really,” Dakota admitted. “Blair must have caught something because she’s throwing up.”

Dakota didn’t understand his friend’s reaction. Madix nodded like he was expecting that answer.

“And how about you? Are you feeling okay?” Madix asked.

“Yes?” Dakota answered hesitantly. He wasn’t sure what Madix was getting at, but then he noticed the way he was hugging his stomach. “Are you?”  

“No.” He shook his head. “Riley and I also threw up. I’m surprised you’re not sick.”

Everything made a lot more sense to Dakota now. And then it immediately didn’t. Madix was right. Why wasn’t he sick? They all ate the same dinner. He should be just as miserable as Blair right now, but he wasn’t for some reason.

As both boys wandered into the kitchen that reason became apparent. They all ate the same dinner, but not the same dessert. The half-eaten pie was still on the counter, with its freshly cut peaches adorning the top. “Did Riley make this today?” Dakota asked, gesturing to the dessert.

Understanding was already beginning to show in Madix’s bloodshot eyes. “Yes.”

“At the same time that he prepared the frozen turkey?”

“Yes.”

“Did he use the same cutting board?”

Madix hesitated before answering…probably for dramatic effect… “Yes.”

Dakota felt like a detective, then he very quickly felt like a nurse. Madix’s face was growing pale again. “How many bathrooms are in this house again?”

Madix looked sicker just thinking about it. “Two.”

Impending sarcasm tainted Dakota’s smile. “Well, this is going to be a fun night.”
