#someone's bout to get rekt

[amimimi]

Hi it's actually my first time requesting 💀 can you do like the reader is a volleyball player from a different school who came to their school to compete and is hella intimidating cause they're really quiet and doesn't really smile that often and their team won. Maybe do yamaguchi, tsuki, tendou, bokuto and suna?

I'm sorry if it's messy i get nervous cause it's my first time requesting 😭✋

hey angel! thank you for sending this in!! And don’t worry, this wasn’t messy at all!

also, i didn’t know if you meant reader’s team played the guys’ teams so i’m sorry if i misunderstood!

the strong, silent type; yamaguchi, tsukishima, tendou, bokuto, suna

synopsis: in which you somehow manage to catch a certain someone’s attention without having to say a word (well, barely a word)

pairings: yamaguchi x reader, tsukishima x reader, tendou x reader, bokuto x reader, suna x reader

warnings: swearing

notes: this is my first haikyuu request!!

YAMAGUCHI

baby boy is intrigued to say the least

he’s also, you know, very intimidated

karasuno is hosting volleyball camp for the weekend so a few of schools from the area come over

karasuno lost a match so they go do a lap up the hill and back down

yamaguchi shakily walks back into the gym, panting and sweating profusely from the run

two other teams are playing so he decided to watch and catch his breath

it’s getting pretty intense until your team’s setter sets the ball for you

you run up and leap in the air, your brows furrowed with determination and tongue sticking slightly out, and you spike ball, slamming it to the opponents ground

and it’s slams so fucking loud

yamaguchi mouth drops, impressed by your raw power

by then tsukishima has joined him, standing alongside yamaguchi

“sheesh” tsukishima mutters at how hard you struck the ball

meanwhile, yamaguchi’s jaw is still on the floor as he watches you with sparkles in his eyes

your teammates erupt in cheer while you’re just like 😐👍

yamaguchi tells tsukishima that they should congratulate your team (he’s talking about you mostly)

and tsuki is like “okay have fun doing that!”

and yamaguchi is like “w-wait! please go with me? they’re scary 🥺”

and tsukishima is like “this is so stupid...” but he ends up going with yamaguchi nskdicnwiwjs

you’re drinking from your water bottle when you feel a slight tap on your shoulder

you whirl around to see tsukishima and yamaguchi LITERALLY standing like—

⠀ ⠀ ⠀(\__/)

(•ㅅ•)

　＿ノ ヽ ノ＼＿

`/　`/ ⌒Ｙ⌒ Ｙ　ヽ

|　ﾉ⌒＼ ￣￣ヽ　 ノ

ヽ＿＿＿＞､＿＿_／

　　 ｜( 王 ﾉ〈 (\__/)

　　 /ﾐ`ー―彡\(•ㅅ•)

　　/ ╰ ╯ \/ \>

yamaguchi pipes up from where he stands, slightly behind tsukishima

“that last spike you did was really cool!” he squeaks, mentally slapping himself for how he voice cracked on “cool”

you blink in surprise before you gently smile

and yamaguchi, in his head of course, is like “HOLY SH*T THEY SMILED??!&)&8:9:”

“thank you” you reply, “i don’t think you told me your name”

TSUKISHIMA

when i tell you this man is not FAZEDDDDD

like he does not give a shit how intimidating you are

he notices that you’re a great volleyball player and that you’re a great coordinator

but that’s where it ends

he’s not intrigued enough/doesn’t care about the motivations of other people

you both walk up to the lil fountain outside the gym to refill your water bottle at the same time

you both sorta halt, before tsukishima motions for you to go first

you nod and thank him quietly, moving to refill your water bottle

tsuki feels his eyebrows furrow when a loud yell suddenly splits the silence, already recognizing who that might be

he turns around and of course, it’s hinata yelping and dodging kageyama’s blows, while the latter yells profanities at hinata

tsukishima sees that you’ve turned around too, trying to see what was going on

“what a couple of morons...” tsukishima mutters to you

you blink at tsukishima, straight faced as ever, before saying, “you shouldn’t bad mouth your team mates”

MY BOY SIEZES UP SO F*CKIN QUICK DUCHDKDJD

he thought since you were quiet and serious looking, that you kinda hated everyone/were pessimistic

you thought WRONG

he turns back to you with raised eyebrows, a little surprised and slight embarrassed about being scorned

you just smile at him and tsuki is surprised for a second time

“see you inside” you nod politely and before walking past him

get rekt tsukishima

TENDOU

yes, my slightly odd looking yet handsome son

he is NOT intimidated by you—AT ALL (have you seen his bestie? 😭)

in fact, the first time tendou sees you, he watches you for like 17 seconds and is like “oh...oh i’m bout to ANNOY TF OUTTA OF THEM”

i feel like he just wants to single out serious people and f*ck around with them—all in good taste though!

will try and goad you into messing up from across the net

but you’re just like 😐😑😐

switches tactics by trying giving you odd compliments

“y/n, right? i like the curvature of your spine,,,very unique 😌”

or “you have such delicate earlobes, y/n!”

if anything, he’s annoying both his teammates and yours

but he’s not done

starts crooning these lil songs about you, that he’s making up on the spot

he’s still not throwing you off your game but you are glancing over at him with a strange expression on your face

that just encourages him even more

eventually, semi smacks the back of tendou’s neck and gives him the “stfu” look

tendou glances over to see your lips twitching into a smile and he’s just smiles real big and wide at you

BOKUTO

my precious boy

he’d probably see you, standing there off to the side from where your teammates are huddled

and he thinks “omg,,,they’re shy,,,and lonely,,,I HAVE TO HELP THEM!”

but you’re just zoning out or something, completely fine

bokuto is trying to collect introverts like they’re f*ckin pokemon cards

he thinks he’s good with all kinds of people (and he is!) but he thinks he’s especially good with quieter people

after your match, bokuto bounds up to you with akaashi trailing behind (he’s there for damage control mostly)

“hey there!” bokuto smiles and your eyes slightly widen at how his voice booms throughout the whole gym. “your team did amazing out there! i couldn’t believe how coordinated you all are! and the way that you flew? your spikes could use a bit more force but you’re amazing either way—”

you generally feel overwhelmed by hyperactive people, but you’re REALLY feeling it now

especially considering how tired you are after that match and how fast Bokuto is talking

you honestly can’t keep up with what he’s saying to you, his eyes glimmer are glimmering and his whole face is lit up and DAMN you don’t have the heart to interrupt him

so you just nod at him with wide eyes like “yup, mhm, yea, that’s right, of course”

when he finally finished his spiel, you take the opportunity to ask for his name

and you’re like “oh! yeah! you’re one of the top 3 aces in the nation right?”

bokuto’s grin widens even further, but before he can respond, akaashi cuts in with “top 5 actually”

and bokuto whirls around with a look that screams utter betrayal—like B*TCH!!&/8:73?

“that’s really impressive!” you smile and bokuto’s mouth drops because DID YOU JUST MAKE A FACIAL EXPRESSION???

he’s hyping himself up like “aha, didn’t even talk to them for FIVE minutes and i already cracked them 😤”

SUNA

he’s just gonna stare at you

like a creepy ass owl or something

he sees your minding your own business respectfully and he’s like “...this feels insulting”

he thinks that YOU think that you’re some tough ass b*tch

MF, I’M JUST MINDING MY OWN BUSINESS 😭

suna: they’re trying to intimidate us

ojiro: ...they’re just standing there

suna: you think they’re trying to intimidate us?

ojiro: no, i don’t actually—

suna: nah, they’re definitely trying to intimidate us

so suna tries to intimidate YOU—reverse uno that b*tch

will stare at you from across the court with his hands shoved in his shorts like—🧍‍♂️

it honestly is a little unsettling because you just see this tall ass, lanky figure in your peripheral vision and your turn to see this guy STARING AT YOU LIKE—👁‍🗨👄👁‍🗨

he scares your teammates too dkfjdkshs

if you’re team is playing his, he will forcefully block your spikes and then just stare back at you LIKE DAMN, YOU GOOD?

the whole thing lets up, when your teams go to shake hands

you take his hand in yours and give him a firm shake, genuinely smiling

“you play well!” you compliment

“...you do too” he says hesitantly and you nod slightly before letting go of his hand and going to shake Osamu’s

he tells ojiro later that you had a “firm grip” and ojiro’s like “...mhm 😒”

notes: i wanna write more haikyuu (specifically timeskip)! also not me projecting the odd feeling i have for suna where it’s like a cross of “everything about you annoys me” and “damn u kinda hot 🙄”. my love/hate relationship with aquarius men 😌

manuscript search tag game

I was also tagged by @talesofsorrowandofruin! 

my words are follow, find, friend, flinch 

follow (Dragonsong) (hugs!) 

Sierra returned fifteen minutes later, smiling but thoroughly drenched. To no one’s surprise. Isi took the damp bag from Sierra’s arms and set it on the table. Robin set to unpacking it. 

Sierra dumped Isi’s cloak and her own coat by the door. “I see why tavern guy didn’t want to come in this weather.” 

Holly wrapped a dry coat—her own, Isi suspected—around Sierra, and followed it with her arms. Sierra grinned all the wider. “I think the food might be a bit cold,” she said, her voice a little muffled in Holly’s embrace. “Sorry ‘bout that.” 

find (Dragonsong) 

It would be easy to stop. Her limbs felt like lead. To get up and keep going wasn’t the easy path. She still had to find the throne room, and then find it within herself to reason with the king. And if he couldn’t be reasoned with, she would have yet another difficult choice to make. 

friend (Dragonsong) 

“I said I planned to take a smaller group to confront the king,” said Isi. “Knights, if I can manage it.” 

“The king will be hiding behind his strongest security,” Jasper agreed darkly. 

Isi looked up and locked eyes with him across the fire. “Will you come?” 

Jasper eyed her steadily for a long, silent moment. Then the tiniest hint of a smile touched his face, though it wasn’t a friendly one. His eyes glittered. “I will.” 

“If I’m invited, I will also join you,” said Henry with a small smile. He reached over and twined his fingers into Jasper’s. 

Isi nodded. “You are. And Meg, if you’ll come.” 

“You’d have to pay me to stay away.” Meg grinned. Like Jasper, it wasn’t exactly a friendly expression. 

flinch (Dragonsong) (get rekt king) 

The king’s expression was something between confusion and anger as he stared at Isi. Isi met his gaze unflinchingly. She wouldn’t back down. He shouted, “Guards!” 

Silence. Isi waited, half-expecting she would have to fight someone. But no one came. Fear flickered across the king’s expression, there and gone in a moment. “You wouldn’t kill that dragon. Why should I think you’ll do as you say and kill me?” He lifted his chin. “I am your king. You wouldn’t touch me.” 

I will tag @zmlorenz @ambsthom @rosiewritesandrambles and @diphthongsfordays, if you want to play! your words are sugar, string, slight, spring 

[flaim-ita]

The first 2-3 responses when I started screaming about this cover were… something, so I ended up collecting as many as possible on various Discords, with people of varying PR knowledge

Essential Avengers: Avengers #156: The Private War of Doctor Doom!

February, 1977

So, fun fact: this was used as the title of an episode of Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes. I knew that the show borrowed its titles from comics but I didn’t realize this was one of them.

It fit the plot of the episode a little better than it fits this issue. But I’m a little biased because I love EMH by a ludicrous amount.

Just so ludicrous.

So last issue ended with Vision ditching the Avengers to go make some manner of deal with Dr. Doom and this cover features Doom trying to murderlize the Avengers with Vision as his left-hand man?

NOT ENTIRELY ACCURATE!

But if nothing else, it probably got people reading.

Last time: Dealing with the mystery of Wonder Man’s resurrection, the Avengers are tossed into a world of hate and war when Attuma has them captured, outfitted with slave collars, and sent to kill Namor. Due to shenanigans, they end up fighting and getting beaten by Dr. Doom instead.

Meanwhile, Attuma heads to a sealab of sorts to steal a science ray with the Bvengers (Wonder Man, Whizzer, and Beast) trying to stop him. And they would have gotten away with it too if it weren’t for that meddling Namor who just took Attuma at his word that the Bvengers were his pals and took precious Attuma stopping time punching Namor unconscious. Meanwhile, Beast followed Attuma onto his submarine.

And also that thing I said earlier about Vision going to offer a deal to Dr. Doom.

And that brings us to now, right now, right where we left off, with Doom again endlessly disappointing me by not saying “even an android can die.”

You had two chances, Doom, and blew them both.

Vision starts off his offer to Dr. Doom recapping the previous issues. Basically Tyrak stomping the Avengers and then the collared heroes being sent to hydrobase to fight Namor but getting stomped by Doom instead.

And then he poses a question: if Tyrak was strong enough to beat all the Avengers, why bother sending the Avengers to fight Namor instead of Tyrak?

Obviously, Attuma has a larger game. Using the Avengers would mean that Namor wouldn’t have been immediately clued in that Attuma was behind the attack. Namor would have been out of the way while Attuma moved forward on his plan.

And Vision believes that plan is to create an entire army of warriors like Tyrak, an army full of people that can stomp entire superhero teams. And with power like that, he could put the world under his heel.

Even Doom’s Latveria would eventually fall, even if it held out longest.

And that dog won’t hunt! Nobody puts Latveria in the corner! I’m mixing idioms!

But yeah. Doom grudgingly agrees to work with Vision. And by “work with” of course I mean “boss around.” This is Victor von Doom after all.

But as Vision follows after, he considers that it had to be this way. If he had freed the other Avengers, their squishy human emotions would have led them to try to attack Doom again. And since Vision is in the throes of yet another bout of robo-angst, he insists that he does not have those emotions.

So he also gets sad wondering if he really loves Wanda or just thinks he does.

MEANWHILE, the cause of Vision’s recent robo-angst and puncher of the king of ablantis, Wonder Man. Also, the Whizzer and Namor.

Namor has come to after getting his block knocked by Wonder Man. Which means that instead of pursuing Attuma, they just sat around and waited for Namor to wake up. Although, to be fair, the ocean is enormous and they have no leads. Well, except the homing signal that they seem to have forgotten.

But with Namor up and less fighting mad, he agrees to team up to fight Attuma. And then he gets the most glorious begrudging face of all time when Wonder Man apologizes and offers to shake hands.

Beautiful.

Also, only now does everyone kind of notice that Beast disappeared. Namor reveals that he saw Beast follow Attuma into the water but never surfaced. So I guess he’s dead forever.

Or not. Because when the three get inside the Quinjet, they have Beast waiting on line 1 to speak to them.

He reveals he stowed aboard the submarine and is very coy about how he managed that.

He also tells them to follow the homing signal and Beast will signal them the most propitious moment to attack.

Meanwhile, at Hydrobase, the Avengers finally get to air out their necks as Atlantean scientists under DOOM’s command detach the slave collars.

And Vision is still in full no-emotions robo-angst mode and is now taking it out on Wanda. While snarling. Which seems like it would indicate emotion but what do I know.

Basically, she was worried when he took off and is just so relieved. BUT I’M A PERFECTLY LOGICAL SYNTHEZOID, WANDA. I DO ONLY THE LOGICAL THING FOREVER.

For bonus, Hank Pym Yellowjacket giving Vision a little shit for going through identity problems again. When Hank Pym Yellowjacket Giant-Man Goliath Ant-Man gives you shit, you know you done goofed. Or that he’s a massive hypocrite.

One or the other.

Okay but seriously, Hank understands that the resurrection of Wonder Man is making Vision feel conspicuously artificial.

Elsewhere, some actual work gets done.

Doom reveals that he can follow the ‘psyche-energy’ from Attuma’s vessels going to the slave-collars to find his location. But they’ll need to hurry before Attuma figures out that the Avengers have been freed and cuts off the signal.

MEANWHILE, Attuma’s ship arrives at his cool ocean citadel with domes and a circuitous arch. Also, there’s a sighing fish and I don’t know why.

Inside the ship, Beast discovers that either bright blue is bad for espionage or he just needs more practice at it. Because he’s spotted by some guards and put down with a shark cattle prod.

And Attuma is thrilled that he survived that because that means they can make some sport out of his slow death.

Attuma is kind of terrible.

Elsewhere meanwhile, Namor gets impatient of waiting for Beast’s signal and flies off half-cocked and immediately starts getting his ass kicked by an even swole-er Tyrak, who is being pumped up with the chloro-ray.

Wonder Man, swimming in both a sea of existential quandaries, also goes swimming in the actual ocean because someone has to go babysit Namor.

So he’s there to watch Namor get rekt and also notices an unconscious Beast being unloaded from the submarine.

Namor is tossed like a soggy pile of fish at Attuma’s feet by Tyrak, while Attuma gloats that soon Tyrak will be ready for another dose of the chloro-ray and then another! Soon his power will be unimaginable! And I hope that his loyalty is also unimaginable because you are rapidly growing him beyond your ability to contain!

Wonder Man is still spectating this and reports to Whizzer (left waiting in the Quinjet because somebody has to be). He also confesses that he’s scared. Not that he’ll get hurt or whatever. But afraid he’s going to blow it! He doesn’t know what to do in this situation!

Remember that before he died, Wonder Man had never really done any solo work. Of the fights we see him in, one was staged and the other ended up with him dead. He has no experience or instincts to draw on. He was an inventor and businessman before he got made scientifically buff. He’s out of his depth!

There’s a lot of really good character stuff you could do with Wonder Man but a lot of it tends to get forgotten for the same few beats.

Thankfully, help has arrived. A ship carrying the Avengers and Dr. Doom plunges into the ocean to do some Avenging.

In this case “Avenging” means “flying around blowing up subs.” But the special Atlantean craft, modified by Doom, also heads to the main dome airlock and disgorges some Avengers.

And since the dome houses sensitive electronic equipment, it is air filled. Which gives the Avengers an edge.

And they all kick ass, for a while.

Vision even gets to do that thing I love so much where he just stands stoically and lets his intangibility/density do his fighting for him.

It’s pretty great.

But then Tyrak arrives. Bigger, stronger, and neckline plungier. And he swats the Avengers aside with ease.

But luckily, Wonder Man followed the Avengers to the main dome (and also has been still just spectating instead of doing something) because he thought they might need his help. Or maybe hoped they would. And he jumps out and WHAMs Tyrak right across the jaw.

And with his flow disrupted, the Avengers surge in to keep him off-balance.

Iron Man shoots him in the gob. Scarlet Witch does vague magic to make a big thing CLONG him on the head (I think the writer forgot what her new powers were supposed to be again), Yellowjacket and Wasp zap his ears, and Captain America hits him in the damn eyes with his shield.

And as Tyrak staggers under the onslaught (but not Onslaught), Vision and Wonder Man advance as one and

KA-BLAM

strike as one.

With that Twin Tech, Tyrak is felled. His gas nipples did not avail him this time. And the Avengers go looking for Attuma.

And find him beaten up and reeling.

While the Avengers were beating up Tyrak, Doom found Attuma, kicked his ass off-screen, and stole the chloro-ray.

That scamp!

No-emotions robo-angst Vision instantly loses his temper, takes his cape back from Attuma, and tells him to crawl away like a worm.

A lot of Vision’s robo-angst would be solved by some more self-awareness, really.

But anyway, obviously Doom didn’t take the chloro-ray for benign reasons nor to do the world any good, except under the perception that being ruled by Doom would be good for the world (but he’d just get bored of the job). So the Avengers return to the surface and board the Quinjet to pursue DOOM.

Whizzer already made a good decision and got a radar-lock on Doom the instant he high-tailed it, presumably on the basis that, y’know, its Doom. He’s never not up to no good.

Meanwhile, Attuma attempts to launch missiles at the Avengers because Attuma. But Namor was still down there and he beats the crap out of Attuma because Namor. And because Attuma tried to repay the Avengers’ mercy with death. But also because Namor and Attuma. He’d beat him up either way.

Later, Doom has returned to DoomHydrobase with the chloro-ray, smacks Tamara when she asks him where the Avengers are, and immediately starts contemplating the device.

The scientists who invented it didn’t even realize the potential of its cell-stimulating rays BUT DOOM DO. So he’s going to dismantle the machine, analyze it, and discover its secret.

Except he has a bad infestation of Avengers on his balcony and they immediately get into a scrum. And while Doom is busy dealing with Beast, Captain America, Scarlet Witch, and Iron Man, Vision just do as Vision do.

He intangibles over to the chloro-ray, shoves his hand inside it, and slightly tangibles so the ray will blow up. The machine destroyed so its evil scientific advancement can no longer threaten the world.

Its interesting to me that Vision is probably the heaviest hitter that the Avengers have but he generally finds his greatest success ghosting in from unexpected angles. Like a really buff rogue.

... Maybe I was a bit hasty to criticize the idea of Tyrak when I like Vision so much.

Of course, Doom swears vengeance and flies off. That’s what Doom do. No point fighting when there’s nothing left to fight over and when you can instead fly away shouting about all the ruing other people will do.

So with all the menace temporarily resolved, Scarlet Witch tries to get Vision to talk about what’s bothering him because open and honest communication is the foundation of a healthy marriage.

But Vision wishes to be alone and sternly stands in the middle of the room facing away from everyone.

After all, its not a real Avengers comic unless someone is brooding at the end. Vision is standing on the shoulders of brooding giants like Giant-Man but also Hercules and Captain America.

Also, Wonder Man sort of flirts with Scarlet Witch, setting up a long running sorta love triangle and major source of tension.

Also also, Captain America disappears for three panels to set up his appearance in Super-Villain Team-Up #11 and subsequent issues. Chasing that sweet exposure. And punching Red Skull in the face.

Which I guess means Cap runs off to cameo in several issues of Super-Villain Team-Up but still returns in time for the next issue of Avengers which takes place the next day.

FACING THE MOST UNEXPECTED VILLAIN OF ALL!!

Who is the Ghost of Stone?? Tune in Friday to find out. Or just google it. Both are equally valid choices.

Another equally valid choice is whether or not to follow @essential-avengers. But, hey, consider it.

I’m trying to think of who it could be otherwise if it’s not Griff.  like, what if it’s John?  or Istus?  WHAT IF IT’S GROWN-UP ANGUS?????????  OH MY GOD WAIT NOW I NEED IT TO BE GROWN-UP ANGUS.  TELLING THEIR STORYYYYYYY.  OH MY GOD GUYSSSSSSSS I NEED IT SO BAD

MY BB ANGO WITH HIS LIL’ WAND NODDING AT TAAKO ALL READY TO FIGHT MY BEAUTIFUL MAGIC BOY I’M SO PROUD

Taako has 20 Intelligence now and I wasn’t expecting to get Emotional about that BUT LIKE ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS “I’M JUST A SIMPLE IDIOT WIZARD” AND ALL HIS DIGS AT HIMSELF AND NOW HE REMEMBERS WHO HE IS AND TRAINING WITH LUP AND BEING BRILLIANT AND CAPABLE AND I DUNNO I’M KINDA CRYING ABOUT IT A LITTLE???  started at the bottom now we here baby

“I am going to jump onto the back of the rhinoceros.”  “Of course you are.”

I can’t.......... believe........ he hurt............ my boy.............

GRIFFIN YOU HURT MY BOY

I’m in a rage

the only good that came of this was Magnus seeing it and retaliating in the most bamf way possible

also - backing up a bit - Griffin totally fucking hesitates when Trav asks him if the rhino is evil and I got major “Are you my friend?” flashbacks from it.  fuck John’s such a good villain.  fuck.

GRANDPA’S OLD SHITTY KNIFE MAKING A COMEBACK I diiiied.  especially since Trav says in the first episode that it would be important later.  a m a z i n g

Lucretia protecting her family even though she’s mid-spell and knows they probably hate her now I’m fine I’m great

“I know.”

I NEED. TO TALK. ABOUT. THE “I KNOW.”  BECAUSE LIKE ALL I CAN PICTURE IS TAAKO STARING AT THE STAFF AS HE SAYS IT.  blank-faced and cut up and probably not even breathing as it sinks in and he realizes what he needs to do.  what he’s waited so goddamn long for.  after thinking he lost her.  seeing all the pieces slide into place.  the cave and the trial and The Raven and magic lessons and Wonderland - all those times it saved him, helped him, had his back.  of course it’s her.  of course it’s Lup.  of course he never lost her.

"I snap the Umbra Staff over my knee.”  AND THAT?  THAT MOMENT?  that moment is everything I love about TAZ.  Justin’s slow exhale bc he knows how big this is, Clint’s excited laughter just before he says it, his gleeful ‘THATTA BOY!’ when he does, Travis’s “Yep.  YEP.”  THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THIS.  just this in-the-moment storytelling where everyone is so palpably, AUDIBLY on the edge of their seats and somehow the out of character elements only enhance the in-character ones, to the point where I feel like I’m in the room with them too, like we’re all sitting around the same campfire like little kids going, “What happens next??????” oohing and gasping and it’s such a joyful shared experience made all the more so for it being told by a real life family who are just as enthralled with it as we are and IT JUST.  god it gets me, man.  it’s so so special.  it’s such a special special thing.

YOU KNOW WHAT’S MORE SPECIAL THOUGH

[kote-the-inn-keeper]

Rings: Theory.

So, I was talking with someone earlier today about several topics, and one topic that came up were all of Kote’s rings. Why does he have so many? Does he really know all the names of those things? Will he ever get all of these? I’ll try and talk about this the best I can in this post. 

To save the poor eyes of some, I will be putting this under a cut.

Hello, hello! Here we go.

Now, as we know, rings go on specific hands in places yadda yadda. I will get there, just wait. Where we are going to start is that Kote has said he had TWO hands of rings. One on every finger: Stone, Iron, Amber, Wood, Bone on one hand. The other hands: Blood, Air/Wind, Flame, Ice, Unnamed.

That’s 10 rings. I’ll be going over the ideas of every ring. So get ready as you go ahead past this point. Left hand for Namer’s earned rings for mastering of skill, Right hand “something none of you can comprehend yet” as said by Elodin. But,as for the right, I will be going with the idea it is gifted rings to Kvothe, not whatever Elodin was trying to possibly imply.

Let’s start general, shall we, with one question: Does he really know the name of all these things? ABSOLUTELY NOT.

So before you jump and scream ‘All things have names’, that is NOT the argument I am making here. All things DO have names, but he doesn’t KNOW all of them. The way he presents the rings establishes the idea that he knows names of all these things [listed above], when in fact, he does not. As much as our little red headed boy is a genius and prodigy, he took a book and a half to call Wind, his first and major goal. Even then, it isn’t mastered or under control until [assumedly] the scene at the Adem Mercenaries when he calls the wind to stop so he can walk out from the tree of leaves that are like knives. That’s is ONE, not nine different rings. But, he does have some of these other ones; not through naming.

TL;DR: He didn’t learn the names of all these things / will not. He has picked these up as time has gone in some manner.

1. Wind. 

Since that is literally the name of the book and his main mission in life. Wind has been obsessed over and searched for and brought many troubles to Kvothe through his time of learning it. It is assumed that he has the ring, by what he says to Elodin and such interaction on the bridge at that point in The Wise Man’s Fear. To loosely cap, the two were on the bridge talking, and Kvothe was being himself and snarky. Elodin lead into explaining the nature of knowing names is to have a ring of said element; then asking Kvothe if he HAD a ring of air/wind. To which Kvothe basically replied ‘you don’t know lmao get rekt’, and never said if he did or not directly. So, it’s okay so assume he has Wind/Air ring on his hand, since he said it in his own shit eating grin manner. But that’s one of nine he has ‘named’.

Before I continue, on a side note, it has been mentioned that NAMER rings go on a specific hand. If you read the passage that speaks of the rings Kote owns, it’s not specific. It says “One one hand.... On the other hand...” Which can lead some people to be confused. But this actually opens the door the thought that not all these rings come from naming; but other places and are on his hands for other reasons. The rings are also listed in a manner to tell us this hand is the gifted / possibly stolen hand, these are the named hand. It starts with the normal hand first, then the ‘magic’ hand, so keep that in mind!

And backtrack, since that point came in, apologies!

2. Iron and Wood. 

All things have names, sure. But, I think where this one came from was rather obvious. Well, these two, at least.

Following along the lines of this hand of rings being presented as a gift in one way or another, if we go back to The Wise Man’s Fear, there was a ring system to show respect, status, and more in Vintas [where the Maer lives]. Gold is those above you, silver for equals, and iron for those below. Now, as we read further, we know Gold and Silver and Iron are most common, but not the only ring possible. The tradition came from the common people, where the rings are / were: Grass to women one is ‘courting’ [that’s sex fyi just in case you were not aware tbh I wasn’t don’t feel bad], Leather for promises, Horn for power and enmity, Bone for debt that is ever lasting, Wood was used for those FAR below you and a serious offense. “But, Sam, you listed half the rings on that hand in one go!” Yes, I know. I’m getting to some points, but focusing on stone first. 

As we know, he had a bowl of rings, and had many different ones; the inflow of them changed after events; but started off mostly Iron and and Meluan [fanon / heavily assumed to be Kvothe’s aunt] having the guts to send one of wood. With this, we know he worse some of them, unknowingly of course at first. 

Now, Kvothe, being himself, is rather obviously going to wear the rings of Iron and Wood as a huge ‘Fuck you’ towards those who sent them to him. It’s a constant battle, due to his heritage, to not be seen as lesser. So instead, Kvothe prances such about to make everyone else look stupid and like the conceded assholes they are. So, with this, he kept the ring of wood and one of the rings of Iron. While I believe it is also as a reminder of him time there, evidence if you will, the ring of Iron has more use.

Fae don’t like Iron, as many don’t from traditional tales. While he didn’t know many fae at the time, he had meet them before. While he didn’t take more than one, he kept one on him as possible self defense -- or it became that later down the road. Say a fae grabbed him, he could grab them or swing his hand to press the Iron into their skin to get them to let go. This is a very weak link as to why he has Iron, but the ring of Iron was built up later to have more meaning than the original intention. Which left wood on his hand as a huge ‘fuck you’ and owning the ring instead of letting the meaning own him; considering his ‘aunt’ [stated before supposed and heavily implied due to his fathers poem about his mother] sent it to him soly based on his heritage and looks.

3. Bone. 

This is also kind of obvious, I think, as well and in the same way is connected to the point above. Stapes gave him the ring of bone after saving the Maer’s life. These rings are generally made from the giver’s relatives to show just how dedicated and how much life the person owes the other. Pretty clear on why Kote still has that and why that one is not something named, instead, gifted. Not much more to say here... I don’t think?

It was gifted to him and he kept it.

4. Stone. 

Now, we know Stone has a name, so why is this one listed on the hand that doesn’t have names? We could assume many things about this. One being that it’s a gift, another being he stole it and doesn’t know the name, and a third being it’s not the type of name that a Namer goes for. Going along the lines that this has been gifted like the others on this hand; it could be given to him by Fela -- someone we KNOW knows the name of stone canonly -- for one reason or another. We could go on for days with reasons, but it is possibly, one way or another, she gifts it to him. Or stolen from her or some UNGODLY REASON.

Going along the lines of ‘Oh, but, what if the other hand got full?’, then in the next book, we all expect him to learn the name of stone at some point. I mean, the book is called ‘The Doors of Stone.’ But, my only issue with this theory is why would he switch the hand? It’s tradition for the ring to go on a specific hand, and why would something so hard to obtain be able to possibly break so easy [a reason why some people don’t wear more than one ring on a finger depending on material] to the point it’s on the wrong hand? While there is the argument of ‘Kvothe doesn’t give a shit bout rules!!!’, he’s also not disrespectful and is extremely dedicated to Naming and learning. 

If this ring doe not come from Fela, it is possible it comes from another source or person. Possibly found it and claims to know the name of stone, taken from someone who used the name of stone against him, or gifted from someone who no longer wanted it in one way or another. Possibly o help him find the name sooner? Not sure.

5. Amber

This one is... harder to get into. There was no gifts of amber, not much of anything of anyone saying a word of amber, or anything of the like. So, this one had to be gifted to him for one reason or another.

The ONLY thing I could find about amber was when Sim [and I quote very loosely] said “Amber controls demons”. So for one reason or another, Kvothe got into some mess, or was about too, and either crafted himself a ring of Amber, or someone gifted it to him.

My theory on this is that Kvothe went back to the University and told Sim and pals about his trip out. of course it was mostly laughed off, but Sim is superstitious. So while he laughed it off, he ends up gifting Kvothe a ring of Amber to keep ‘demons and stuff’ away from him and keep him safe on his next travel, or when he is leaving again after being expelled. Also in a way for him to remember Sim and his time at the University. That’s all I can really build into that one, considering not a peep of that ring has even been spilled in the books.

And back to the Namer hand!

6. Blood.

Most people, when thinking of this ring, probably think of literal blood. Kinda like blood bending in Avatar. But, I am going to disagree on this for a moment. While yes, there is something to do with blood and controlling a person [See reasons for Devi keeping contracts blood in viles to ensure payment], I still don’t think it’s to that degree; of the ring being in that sense. Calling a name Name seems rather redundant and dumb; so it’s called blood.

As we know, in this universe, ALL names have power -- including people’s names. Which is why no one says Chandrian without glancing about in slight fear. Names draw people closer; even in real life. We use names to get one another attention, make self identities, and establish existence. In this universe, to truly HAVE someone’s name is to nearly own their whole existence. Probably as far as mind, body, and soul. Blood included due to the super strong link to said person.

To have a ring of Blood, Kote had to have learned someones name past the superficial. To the point of literally owning them even further than sweet Devi does with bottled blood drops as fear. We have seen naming can ‘conjure’ [for a lack of a better word], elements. So perhaps having the Name for someone’s name is, in a sense, to conjure them into doing what you please or need past asking. Like lulling them into wanting to do something for you -- like casting ‘Suggestion’ in DnD.

While it would be cool to have a literal ring of blood painted on his finger, it would more than likely wash away. Or having the ability to have a a ring of blood circulate ones finger would draw some eyes. A possibility in the manifestation of this ring, is alchemical petrification of some manner, so it’s solid like stone or wood. Another one is ‘Fuck you Sam this is fantasy and rings of blood can and won’t wash away it’s sympathy / magic mOVE ON’. Normally, I’d say yeah, okay, totally, but I DON’T WANNA cause I’m not DONE. Thinking practically and in the sense that learning the names of things give you rings, it would have to be something someone could wear; which leads me to my next idea. It could be some Fishery work where he has glass that isn’t shatter-able and he put the persons blood in it, so he has it on his person -- similar to Devi -- as a threat against them; or perhaps trust on the blood person’s end. Any and either way, he knows this person’s name and has intentions of and or has used it enough to gain a ring from it.

7. Fire.

This one has been hinted at one time in the book. Literally once; but in a good manner and possibly in the direction this one will actually be the next name he learns fully. While after the weird ‘Let’s set the whole class against Kvothe to test this little bastards alar’ session, he goes to the front of the room and talks tot he Master who runs the lass about naming. He heard only part of the word fire -- well, hears anything at all. Which the master was surprised at and comments his waking mind is more alert and open. Also it’s known that once you learn one, the others come easier because your mind is already open and hearing such becomes more easy.

Another hint is him literally [accidentally / coincidentally / whatever you wanna call it] calling down lightning to cause a ire in the camp where the bandits were. ‘But, Sam, ligh--’ It causes fire and made a huge damn explosion happen, it was fire in a way okay? Let’s just shhhhh.... Shhh. Connect it to fire since lightning isn’t a ring. It’ll be better on all of us that way. So, fire could be the next element he obtains and gets a ring for. 

Putting these two instances together, and a possible third spoke n this wheel to finalize that the ring will be his after that, he gets a ring of fire. Which makes this one very clearly learned and not gifted in some manner.

Again, with the idea on how rings, look, we don’t actually know. bu following my train of thought on blood, i doubt the ring will be a literal fire circling around his lower knuckle [as sick hell as that would be]. I think it would be a material of red, with the name held inside of it in some manner. Or, at least, to keep the name of fantasy in here, it would be something solid and clear, with the gentle and warm glow of fire from inside of it as a claim the wearer knows the name of it.

8. Ice.

Boy, does this have NOTHING!!!!!!! It’s so frustrating to build theories and ideas off of a subject that has literally only been said to be on someones hand and nothing else. But god damn am I gonna try this one. 

This is probably coming right after fire, if things are going to be poetic and follow cliches of the two elements. There are several ways on what ice could ‘come’ from, but also entitle in a manner of mastering it. One of the major ones being literal ice. Calling in a snow storm or having it hail; like calling wind, but with colder weather. Or using wind to aid in gaining another. Another way could be obtaining a way to force things to be cold. And I mean this in several ways: transferring the cold one gets from straining themselves over long sympathy use to another, transferring cold from one object to another, or having the name of water and forcing it to be cold on way or another.

We haven’t really eat anyone who knew the Name of ice [yet], so the ideas on how one could get a ring of it is very... complicated. As I said with blood it may not be the literals of object / subject. It could be something linked to the idea of the main Name, or, lead up to the Name of what is trying to be obtained. So bringing the temperature of a place or object [person, water, etc] down to freezing, transferring cold to something else, or literally calling ice from the sky is all a possibility. There is nothing to support or say one is more likely than another, at this point and time as far as I am aware of at least.

The ring could be just ice, it could be a blood and fire situation where its inside the holdings of the ring and is cold to the touch, or it could be a material that is hard and crystallized to look like ice. 

9. Unnamed.

I have read so many ideas on what this could be. From Denna’s ring to Shadows from the cloak Felurian gave him to the void being a ring of immortality. It’s all over the place! I will entertain some of these, but not all, and will keep with the previous ideas above on hands and assigning them.

Now, some people are ‘Oh, that’s Denna’s ring, and he’s left it unnamed!’. Right, but, why would it be on his Namer hand? If anything, that should be the ring of blood; having her name and all that implies; right [if a Namer ring]? That’s assuming you are going with the theory that’s linked to her. Going off the idea it was gifted, it shouldn’t be on that hand and should be switched out for maybe Amber or Iron [depending on how ya feel]. Makes sense int he context that as a gift, it would be on the other hand, of it was Name, it would be blood.

I could maybe see the idea it is Shadow; but why have a ring of such when he was gifted a cloak very carefully made by the equivalent of a fae goddess? You could say that it could be condensed into a ring, and I would probably go with that. Easier packing and travel, take it off and fwoosh cloak! But also, at the same time, it has been described to have mass and react to outside forces. So perhaps not? Shadow does as it pleases, so this could be a more solid theory on the ring if I had more evidence on how it worked. All the same; it was GIFTED. Not learned. So it should be going on the other hand, if that is what the ring is.

Some people say it could be another name; something undisclosed. Some say his own name [Kvothe], some say silence and it’s part of his three [which is why it follows him], and honestly; I can see this one the most. Either one of these; but the silence the most. While, yes, it’s not something object like as fire or blood, it’s something perhaps he managed on his own and is the first.

Let me explain: the silence of the inn is described to FOLLOW him, as bast says rather often. If he [Kote] isn’t paying attention, it becomes almost suffocating and very heavy, changing the way he even presents himself. The silence isn’t there when other people are around, it’s only there when he is alone. I think it s mastered, due to the timing and the placement of silence -- not only written, but the way it’s so heavily tied to Kote. It’s when he is alone, thinking too much, when there is nothing to do or things to speak about. I feel as though the silence is a way to possibly block out not only the world further than he has already with the inn, but his thoughts. Focusing on such a force would obtain all his thought processes and force him to focus in one place and on one thing. Almost a poor coping mechanism, if you will.

We don’t know how or where or when this could have been learned or even mastered, but it could have been somewhere along the road that he maybe hasn’t transcribed verbally, or, yet to happen in the books. With the way Silence is focused on, described, and relayed; it’s just like anything else Named in the books. This is just a theory, but one I support more than most.

The ring could also be his name. Literal or not [thinking literal int he sense of a ring from Vintas with his name forced off of it, but still holds it perhaps], due to no longer going by such and his reactions to having his other name / ‘dead name’ [I use this term because I feel like using Kvothe for Kote is rude and as a trans individual the way such subject is presented is like dead-naming] said is the same as the Chandrian going to where their name has been said. While he goes to it, he is usually unhappy or knows that Bast was saying it but says nothing.

If you read the post linked, I go a bit more into detail why calling him Kvothe as Kote is trauma related not okay to do, and supports the idea onto why he wouldn’t want his name being known to so many people on multiple levels. Basically safety and power over him is the jist to tie it into why it would be a ring [but that post is specifically bout not calling him by his other name cause of trauma he has]. But the possibility of it being his own name wouldn’t be off, and it fits the Namer ordeal. He obviously knows his own name deeper than anyone else, and I doubt anyone [but possibly Auri] could ever know it as deep enough to gain full power of the Name. 

So that’s my... theories and readings on the rings... Um, I’m always bad at ending these posts. But, I hope you enjoyed reading and either see where my points come from, or come up with your own!! Thanks for reading <3 <3

Luna was heading over to see her best friend Rise when she heard a few girls talking bad about her. Anger bubbled up in her chest as she walked up to them. "Oi! How 'bout ya snobby bitches shut ya asses up fer I shut it myself! If you don't know her like that then stop talkin' shit before you get rekt!" The girls looked at her afraid before running away. Hearing someone behind her, she turns around to see Rise. She blushed, rubbing the back of her neck. "A-Ah...hey Rise-chan. Sorry if you heard that..." She admits, looking down at her feet.

bich bout to get rekt if i find out who

[thepelagoislands]

Prompt: Perpetual Night

Now that the summon spirit Shadow -- who was once possessing Evelyn -- has escaped, he has relocated to the highest point of Mt. Reineir on Arcadia. With his powers returned, and the strong rune energy of the mountain bolstering them, Shadow has cast a blanket of darkness in the skies over Leuda and Arcadia. While it’s not so noticeable at night, the daytime sky will be darkened from this point on. To most citizens, it will most likely appear as a strange bout of dark, cloudy weather.

This will only change once Shadow is either defeated or entered into a pact with a Summoner-class character. If he’s simply defeated by a group of warriors, then he will retreat to one of the islands out in the archipelago. That will stop the danger for the time being, but will not completely get rid of the threat. If he is subdued by a Summoner, then he will enter into a pact with them and stop wreaking havoc entirely.

As he plans on getting his revenge on humans, Shadow will destroy one building every few days until someone takes him on. If you want to volunteer your business or home to get rekt, then message the main and tell us! We won’t just randomly do things without people’s consent. Otherwise, inactive businesses or ones without owners/bosses will be mainly targeted.

Feel free to react to any developments that arise from this! If you’re not interested in directly involving yourself with Shadow, then nothing in your threads and interactions have to drastically change! Just know that from this point on until Shadow is defeated and we say otherwise, there will be no sunny days in PI. As far as your muses are concerned, each day will be incredibly dark and cloudy.

For those who are interested in taking him on, a request by the guild will be posted soon.

SPN 10x03: “Soul Survivor”

The purification of the blood.

Sam went to the careful lengths of getting Dean’s blood type.

“Sam, I know you think you’re gonna try and fix me, but … did it ever occur to you that maybe I don’t want to be fixed?” He heard you the first 10 times.

“Sammy … You know I hate shots.”

“I hate demons.”

OOOHHH TELL HIM SAM.

Good lord, that’s scary.

“How are you holding up?”

“Fine.”

“You say you’re fine, but you don’t … look fine.”

Yeah, it’s a human thing.

“It’s what the humans do. They say they’re fine. And even if I—I don’t look it, you say I look well, and that way, we avoid talking about something we can do nothing about.” Cas understands us very well.

“I worry about you.” Someone has to.

...the demon getting cured would be my answer.

El Sol.

“It is possible that you can have your revenge. I mean, hell, it’s possible you can have pretty much anything you want.” Damn it, Sam.

Winchesters really like to use bait.

Pfft, Sam’s Hermione moment.

That’s how Sam got that demon from the season premiere.

“Oh, and so you know, I killed Lester myself. And that wife of his married the tattooed guy.” Happy endings all around.

“Wow. You might actually be worse than me!” Okay, that’s a stretch buddy.

“Let me ask you this, Sammy: If this doesn’t work, we both know what you got to do to me, right? You got the stomach for that, Sam?!” No.

Freaking President Snow demon is here.

Crowley’s tracking Cas.

Which leads to memories of  Dean...

“Your misadventure with the older Winchester was quite the topic of speculation.” I can only imagine how that gossip was like.

“I, too, love to party. And I do love the ladies. And the classic rock-and-roll. Most importantly, I could debauch by your side without being a personal embarrassment.” Pfft.

RIP demon. Killed by Crowley.

“Sorry, I … missed another turn. I have no idea where the main road is.” Hannah has no sense of freaking direction.

“These things—they’re so confining and primitive.” Ha, it’s almost what Cas said about cars in S5.

Watch the hand, sister.

Dean passed out.

“There’s no point in trying to bring your brother back now.”

“Oh, I will bring him back.“

“In fact, your uh… guilt-ridden, weight-of-the-world bro has been M.I.A. for quite some time now. But I’m loving the new model: Lean, mean, Dean.”

Nooo, I don’t want to hear this from Michael!Dean, I will die.

“Maybe it was the fact that my mother would still be alive if it wasn’t for you. That your very existence sucked the life out of my life!” We’re really going there????

“This is me yanking your lame ass out of the fire. You’re welcome.” !!

RIP demon. Killed by another demon.

lol

What a statement.

RIP demon. Burned alive.

“Um, Hannah. You know, this—this road we’re on… It—it’s dangerous.”

“All right.”

“Um… We can’t afford to lose our way...No detours of any kind.”  

Get freaking rekt.

“Getting to Dean and hunting these rogues … I—I’m not at full capacity, so I … we n-need total focus.”

“Like a laser. Got it.”

“Just … I’ve been around humans for long enough to see how easily distractions occur.”

“’Distractions’.”

“Emotions, feelings … They’re dangerous temptations.”

y i k e s

“I just … I’m trying to keep our priorities clear.”

“Not to worry, then. I’m very clear on my priorities. And yours.”

Well that was uncomfortable.

RIP store clerk. Killed by an angel.

Adina’s back.

“I will kill you, Castiel. But very, very slowly so your—your honeybunch can watch. Sound good?” Try it, bitch.

WELL COME ON HANNAH DO SOMETHING.

Back to Dean’s room.

Family photos.

My only question is, why hasn’t anyone taken a photo of Cas yet?

Shit.

“You should have left us alone.” No kidding.

RIP Adina. Killed by Crowley.

The Bunker standoff. I love this scene.

Crowley saves Cas so he can take care of Deanmon.

“I’m not sentimental.” You sure ‘bout that?

Great use of lighting there.

“All that blood you pumped into me to make me human… Well. The less demon I was, the less the cuffs worked. And that Devil’s Trap? Well, I just walked right across it. It smarted, but still.” Just proof that the treatment is working.

Smart trap.

You might want to back away from the door, Sam.

Kinda like Soulless!Sam in S6.

Cas is currently hauling ass and he needs to hurry.

You can pinpoint the moment Sam sees Cas coming in.

Aloha, Cowboy.

“What the hell are we doing to him, Cas? I mean, even after I gave him all that blood, he still said he didn’t want to be cured, that he didn’t want to be human.”

“Well… I see his point. You know, only humans can feel real joy, but … also such profound pain.”

I say the joy makes it worth it.

It’s him. 

“You look worried, fellas.”

Hello, Dean. I missed you.

“You realize one problem is solved, but one still remains. Dean is no longer a demon, that’s true. But the Mark of Cain… that, he still has. And sooner or later, that’s going to be an issue.” Let’s just celebrate this, pls.

“You know what, Cas? I’m beat, man. One battle at a time, you know? So I’m just gonna go grab my brother some cholesterol. And then, I’m gonna get drunk.” lmao. You deserve it.

“You look terrible.” Pfft.

“You know, it wouldn’t kill you to lie every now and again.”

“No, it wouldn’t kill me.”

Too literal Cas.

Hannah’s just chilling outside?

“Hey, maybe you should um … take some time before you get back to work. Allow yourself to heal. It’s, uh … I don’t know. The timing might be right. Heaven and Hell—they seem reasonably back in order. It’s quiet out there.”

Cas suggested the break.

Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Our queen!

RIP 2 men. Killed by Rowena.

Nightwing Rebirth updated thoughts.

As much as I drag on current readers and their views, I actually have not favored the last couple of arcs! The Back to Bludhaven arc was bland at best IMO. Nightwing took too long solving a easy case, it's definitely not the same quality of detective work like Batman, and I didn't want him back in Bludhaven anyway. Seeley's revamp hasn't been completely revealed but it seriously needs better distinction. Visually, it's far better then old Blud but it feels like it's merging back to what it was before. Crime cesspool is overdone. I can give less then a crap for the romance. I'm actually irritated of it. I'd actually like an entire run not dedicated to a romance. Grant Morrison's B&R, Black Mirror, Gates of Gotham, Judas Contract, etc. were renown storylines. They didn't have a emphasis and focus on either romance and/or Dick's personal life, which I think in hindsight, is outright boring. Perhaps because he perpetually usually interacts with no-named characters and comes off as a waste of panels when he needs mucho establishment as a reckoning force. Ironic how this happens when he's NOT Nightwing. Or in his The current arc is promising. Hurt's interest in the Nightwing lore and Pyg creating an evil version of Grayson with all his secret dark thoughts is teeming with fun! Knowing the darker hidden thoughts of Nightwing is usually fun! Reminds people he's not Mr. Sally Sunshine and it's usually fantastic! It should mean someone gonna get rekt. But Shawn is definitely in a rushed romance like every romance in comics ever and it's annoying. And she's a okay character with a clear voice and still should stick around. But her used as part of a plot device (to be fair, a lot of characters non established that far are PDs) and going with a classic kidnapping story is too simple and boring. Can't villains do anything else besides kidnapping hero's love. I actually don't care about the pregnancy. He had sex. It happens even with protection. Big whoop! I actually like to see it played straight and still allow him to be a hero cause having a child shouldn't actually hold a character back. That's straight out of something Dan Didio thinks. And Dick is hardly THAT OOC. Pre and New 52, he's written to forge quick hookups and doesn't always take his time like people think....Babs was retconned into his love life and not even Starfire has a specified time it took to hook up. Months? It's not like comics are relative to real time nor really dive deep into how he approaches a relationship and is CONSISTENT with it. It's really fair game. Aka, your headcanons don't count. And he's rethought about being Nightwing before. The Nightwing miniseries before the big solo actually capitalized on him contemplating giving up so anyone who says otherwise simply aren't aware of that. I do take issue with Nightwing allowing Shawn to threaten someone's life, but its ingenious tho in him lying so it's not too much of a complaint. I don't understand why he couldn't like threaten the guy himself and go Batman interrogation on him (break his fingers for every second delayed). He's never Batman-lite in useful situations in useful ways. I want him to occasionally be a little dark. Maybe have people actually fear his ass. That bout it!
