[buggoblin]

something so devastating to me is haymitch calling out to merrilee at the funeral desperate to have his sister alive again and knowing that merrilee probably feels the same way any time she looks in a mirror

Janet and Anne Grahame Johnstone 1928-1979/1998  were twin sisters and British children’s book illustrators best known for their delicate, detailed prolific artwork and for illustrating Dodie Smith’s classic book The Hundred and One Dalmatians.

i think obsessive/selfish/misguided love or “harmful” love in general as an antithetical theme to gravity falls’ theme of love and family makes so much sense. if you think about it, a lot of the conflict in the show is born out of selfishness and obsessiveness and loving people as objects or means to an end. obviously, you have the big examples like gideon for mabel and giffany for soos, but every time both sets of the pines twins have butted heads, it’s usually been because of that too. just in like, a different way.

stan and mabel are both relying on dipper and ford to stay anchored to them forever to secure their happiness, and even though it’s a totally okay thought to have and dipper and ford weren’t in too much of a rush to consider their feelings, it’s a bandaid solution at best! dipper ends up NOT leaving because that’s the right thing for them but it’s not totally because the pines twins are a “set of two” who can’t be separated. it’s a decision they make mutually! mabel even says that she would be okay with dipper taking the apprenticeship, she just needed a minute to be frustrated!

and then of course you have stan and ford where stan leaving ford meant stan would lose his only friend, but even in their adult years, they clearly still love each other (ford and stan both apologizing profusely every time they land a devastating enough hit) but their selfish desire to have the other admit they’re the “villain”, to have a scapegoat to blame a whole series of factors on, overtakes them and buries that love. even as old men they’re still trying to get something out of the other before anything else (ford’s house and name, stan’s “thank you”). stan and ford want to love each other deep down so badly but this giant means to an end is in the way

you even see that sort of motif with characters like dipper and pacifica, where dipper’s crush on wendy almost always has negative results because, not only can it never be due to the age gap, but every time he tries to court her, it’s usually in the way a prize is to be won. he makes an itemized list of a process that is “guaranteed” to impress wendy, he literally brakes the laws of space time just so robbie won’t date her (as if one single snow cone is keeping him from his success), gets a job at the pool just so he can hang out with her, and jumps at the opportunity to prove robbie is evil. etc etc. and with pacifica it’s clear that her parents’ love is very transactional and conditional. if EVEN that.

so the fact that book of bill is setting up bill to be like a clingy ex to ford- more than that, it’s setting up ford to be the only human bill cares about THIS much! it feels like the ultimate way to tie bill to that theme of how love can harm as much as it can heal. like, he’s always been an obstacle to the pines’ happy ending, but this way, we see his reaction to love in his psyche play out, and you understand why he’s the opposite and obstacle to the pines. the stan twins hurt each other and it takes an entire show’s worth of growth for them to fix it. gideon hurt mabel but him letting dipper and the group into her bubble proves he’s willing to change. bill hurt ford and he throws a temper tantrum and denies everything, trying to use force to get things back to the way they were because in his own twisted way he really does love and care for ford. i’m sure even a traumatized millenia old dream demon could change but for now bill doesn’t! and that kinda makes him and ford’s relationship the perfect tie in to the themes in the show

she's the man!

pairing :: itoshi rin x f!reader

synopsis :: hiori y/n is devastated after the news of the girls soccer team being cut from the sport program and unable to join the boys team. to rub more salt on the wound, she just broke off with her long-time boyfriend. devising a plan, she disguises herself as her twin brother to take his place at blue lock academy, an all-male prep school.

what she doesn't expect is falling for the star player of the academy.

016.

"ta dah!"

miko’s mouth gapes open in shock, taking in your appearance. “this is so freaky. you and your brother look scarily alike! it's like if i only saw the back of both your heads, i wouldn't be able to tell you guys apart.”

“don’t catch feelings for me now.” you tease.

she rolls her eyes playfully, shoving you. “gross! even if you are twins, you’re still your each person! plus, i know way too much about you to like you that way.”

“uhm rude?”

miko shakes her head ushering you back to the bathroom. “okay get out of that get up and let’s go! my friends are waiting!"

“wait. what am i supposed to wear?”

she sighs. “give me one second.”

you watch as she browses through her closet. miko hums before grabbing a baby pink top and a matching skirt. “perfect! try this on!”

you blink staring at the garments in hand. “it's very uhm, pink.”

“yeah yeah. hurry up!”

you get shoved back into the bathroom with an ‘oof.’

“wow, it’s nice wearing cute clothes for a change!” you twirl around in your new fit.

miko claps. “you pull it off really well! i gotta give your closet a makeover.”

“what’s wrong with my closet?”

“y/n. one half of your closet is sweats and the other half is soccer and athletic wear.”

“right!”

your attention focuses on the arcade upcoming on your right. the sounds of buttons clicking and joysticks moving fill your ears as the vibrant-neon lights enter your vision. you squint, fazed by the sudden change. scanning the arcade, your eyes land on a familiar mop of hair.

“hey isn’t that?” you squint your eyes for confirmation.

“who?”

you jump onto the familiar white-haired man’s shoulders. “boo!”

nagi flinches as a loud ‘you lost’ emits from the speaker, he turns to you with a frown etched onto his face. “huh, who are you?”

“nagi it’s me.”

confused, he tilts his head. “no, doesn’t ring a bell.”

“nagi. it’s me, y/n.”

“oh. you look different.”

“no, really?”

“you don’t look too bad out of that ugly wig.” he remarks.

you huff placing your hands on your hips. “what was that about my hair?” you sigh looking around the arcade. “why aren’t you with the rest of the guys?”

“wanted to catch up on gaming.” he muses, inserting another token into the machine.

“mind if we join you?”

“why not?”

miko sat out after getting destroyed in a 1v1 against nagi. she sulked, excusing herself to grab a drink from a nearby vending machine.

“woah, you’re actually pretty good.” nagi muses, turning to face you. “you might even be better than your brother.”

“what can i say! i guess the twin genes run strong!”

suddenly, a familiar voice calls out. “there you are nagi!”

once more, nagi gets startled, losing his game. annoyed, he brushes bachira’s hands off his shoulders.

“c’mon can’t i catch a break.” he grumbles in defeat.

the two of you turn around to be met with well everyone! otoya’s eyes widen after getting a good look at your face. “woah, who’s this cutie?”

bachira squints staring at you. “you look super familiar.”

you make eye contact with karasu as he opens his mouth to speak but gets cut off.

“she’s hiori’s sister.” you facepalm at this. you didn't exactly plan to bump into your teammates on your one free day off. you sigh preparing yourself.

isagi turns to face you. “he said he’s unavailable today, you happen to know where he is?”

“nope!” you reply, a bit too fast. “he’s probably at a pc cafe or something. you know him, a huge gamer.”

“the most i've seen him play is brawl stars on his phone.” reo speaks up.

“i should try ringing him.” chigiri says pulling out his phone. your eyes widen in fear at his action. if chigiri pressed the call button, your cover surely would've been blown.

“no!”

they all turn to look at you in confusion.

you clear your throat. “don’t bother, i already tried. it rang like 20 times.”

a chorus of ‘oh’s come from the group.

“oh hey! did i miss something?” miko blinks looking at the scene.

you mouth, ‘i’ll explain' to her as she nods.

“wanna join us? we were about to do karaoke?”

“sure, why not!” you look to miko for confirmation and she nods, grabbing her phone cancelling plans with her friends.

you look at rin, realizing he was staring at you. turning your head away to avoid contact out of embarrassment, it was weird facing rin without your disguise on.

“well come on! let's go!” bachira tugs you towards him, as you yelp in the process.

so much for a day off.

[sassycheesecake]

Osamu walks out of Physics class, happy that his classes are over and all that is left is volleyball practice.

He walks down the familiar path towards his twin brother’s class, basically collecting him on the way to the gym hall.

When he gets closer, he hears multiple sounds of something banging against the lockers and when he gets closer to the noise, he squints his eyes before they widen in shock at the sight of Atsumu Miya, second-year high school Setter of the Inarizaki volleyball club banging his forehead constantly against his locker door.

Now, he has two options.

One, move along and pretend he didn’t see any of this and make it to practice on time without his brother. But the big downside is that Atsumu would probably be late for practice if Osamu doesn’t say anything to him, which will end up in Osamu getting an earful from their mother later on at home.

Or option number two, ask what Atsumu’s deal is and hopefully they both still make it on time for practice.

Since Osamu doesn’t want to get yelled at later on by their mother, he begrudgingly chooses option two.

"Tsumu, if ya keep smashin' yer head against the locker, yer gonna lose the two braincells ya have left." Osamu says when he walks closer to his brother.

For a split second, Atsumu looks at his brother through his peripheral vision with a pissed look and then continues to bang his head against the locker.

'Wow, not even a comeback.' Osamu thinks while he continues to watch him.

"Stop it." Osamu barks as he is getting annoyed by the noise.

"'M tryin' ta forget bout earlier. Ya remember (Y/N)?" Atsumu stops and just leans his forehead against his locker door, a sorrow expression rests on his face.

Osamu frowns in confusion and looks to the ceiling for a second before returning his gaze back to his twin.

"Ya mean (Y/L/N) (Y/F/N)? The one that shared her lunch with ya and ya sweared ya tasted heaven?" Osamu raises a brow.

"Yes." Atsumu confirms.

"What about her?" Osamu doesn’t get it, if Atsumu looks so miserable, surely something devastating must have happened.

"I wanted ta confess my feelings ta her, so I made her favorite dessert and when I went ta see her, yannow what I saw?"

"What?" Osamu sighs.

"She was talkin' ta Riseki!"

"Is she suddenly not allowed ta talk ta other people besides ya? Tsumu I don’t know if yer brain registered it yet but this is a high school. There’s more people than ya she can talk to. And so what if Riseki was talkin' ta her? What’s the big deal?!" Osamu is getting impatient since he doesn’t understand Atsumu‘s point of view.

"That’s not the point dipshit! Riseki asked her out and she said no because she said she is in love with another guy." Atsumu almost wails.

"And?… Does your story have an ending or is this it?"

"Be patient asshole, I was gettin' there. So after I heard that, I was devastated….an' I didn’t realize (Y/N) came outta the room seconds afterwards an' I was so mad that I squished the dessert outta anger. She was confused an' asked if I was alright and I replied 'Shouldn’t ya ask yer crush?' and then I just left!" The Setter explains and gets angrier by the second, talking to his long-time crush in such a tone was just childish and rude as hell. You didn’t deserve that at all but Atsumu just felt his heart shatter at that moment, so he was angry and let it out on you. Now he is just highly disappointed in himself on how disrespectfully he talked to you.

On the inside, Osamu facepalms himself at the sheer stupidity of his brother‘s unawareness of your affection towards the blonde.

The signs are all there that you like Atsumu and vice versa but of course something complicated like the shit Atsumu pulled just pulled moments prior ruined his chance of confessing his feelings towards you.

"Well, (Y/N) finally talked ta ya. That’s sorta awesome."

"No Samu! Not 'awesome'! I ruined ma only chance at talkin' ta (Y/N) and I ruined it. RUINED IT!" Atsumu slams his head against the locker and the whole locker clutters by the force of it.

Osamu can’t help but feel bad for his brother, knowing Atsumu has been having a crush on you since the first year of high school.

Students who pass them are giving them weird looks but the gray-haired twin is not fazed by it.

"Tsumu, yer startin' ta get looks. Quit yer dramatic act and move alon'. There’s pleny of fish in da sea."

The Setter was quiet for a few seconds and Osamu was quite worried Atsumu got a concussion from all that banging of his forehead against the locker.

But then he speaks again, in a voice so sad and soft, it sounds like Atsumu is truly heartbroken.

"But I don’ wan' other fish. I want (Y/N)." He is actually getting teary-eyed.

Osamu gives out a big annoyed sigh and knows he is already regretting his words.

"Want me ta help ya win (Y/N) over?"

Atsumu whips his head in his brother’s direction, a hopeful gleam in his hazel-brown eyes.

"Yer not screwin' with me?"

"No. Twin promise, cross my heart and all that shit. Come on, let’s find (Y/N)." Osamu starts to move to the gym for volleyball practice and he hears a locker door shut and a rushing steps of feet follow him.

A/N: You guys want a part 2?😊

Here’s part 2

[katakosmos]

the rosier twins incest hits harder if it happens in a universe where voldemort wins the first war and evan, rewarded and free, returns to france to his sister.

rosier manor is now completely empty: mr and mrs rosier are dead, and pandora lives alone, alienated from the world. for years she hasn't left her laboratory. she has lost all her splendor, she barely recognizes where and who she is. evan drags her out of her world and explains everything that happened.

she's devastated, for all the wizards and muggles in england. but above all she can't believe that evan took part in such an oppressive movement. their parents didn't raise them that way, the rosiers don't despise muggles or non-pureblood wizards. evan has made their ancestor's mistakes, tarnishing the family name again. it's an insult to the memory of their parents, and pandora can't forgive him.

she rejects evan. she refuses to talk to him, to see him. but evan lived two years without her and he can't lose her again, he misses her so much. he tries in every way to make amends, but pandora has now made her decision. the first few months, when evan is forced to continually receive visits from the death eaters, are the hardest: evan is tormented by his guilt while pandora cultivates her hatred. it seems like they don't even live in the same house.

but pandora is now weak both physically and psychologically, and she needs help. she's forced to rely on evan and he's forced to stay by her side. they get closer again, but they hate each other. they hurt each other. for years they don't leave that house, forgetting the outside world. for years they don't see anyone but themselves.

there are moments when, with a sharp pain in their heads, they remember the years gone by. they loved each other, they cared about each other. the closer they get, the more those feelings increase, mixing with contempt. by now something indissoluble binds them.

when the name rosier starts to be heard again among the families, evan and pandora are now a couple. they got married in a moment of madness, but the memories are still lucid. they are now 50 years old, they call each other husband and wife, they kiss in public.

when they die, together, no one remembers that they were once twins.

141 & Rabbit Headcanons [IKYLHT]

Series Masterlist | Prev: Personnel Files | Next: Chapter One

Please Note: This is my attempt at a spoiler-free introduction to the characters and their dynamics. This is meant to be read before the first chapter, and thus must be vague at points. THIS DOES CONTAIN SOME MW3 SPOILERS

-

141 + Rabbit Dynamics:

Soap:

Rabbit's ride or die right here, twin flame type of energy

First person she actually enjoyed the company of at the UK base while on assignment alongside the rest of the Demon Dogs

Subsequently the first to worm his way into her heart- sinks his hooks into her side and refuses to leave (not to worry, you'd have to pry her off of him, anyways)

Runs into her coming out of the mess hall, sees 'Highwater' stitched into her uniform and realizes this was the soldier Sparks had told him about

Oh yeah, that month long prank war with Shane 'Shitbag' Sparks (yes, she'd come up with that one herself) that the rest of the Demon Dogs decided to join in on? He made sure to tell Soap, because why not recruit the demolitions expert in his task of torturing his sister-in-arms?

Soap immediately decides on implementing her rename. 'Oh, you already have a callsign that half the base refers to you by? One that acknowledges your military expertise and the nine grueling years you've dedicated to the service? That's weird, cuz your name is Rabbit now and that's that' type mentality

She knew the reference immediately, hands twitching with the urge to unsheathe her spare knife because there was only one person that'd broadcast the story

Goddammit, Sparks, I will shiv you

"Excuse me? Where'd you hear that from, Sergeant?"

"A good friend never tells. I could always think of calling you somethin' worse?"

"Call me something worse and I'll have you written up for disrespecting a superior officer"

"Understood, Rabbit" said with a fucking grin

Despite being the one to rename her, literally never uses her callsign once he declares them best friends

Calls her Bunny or Bun, which surprisingly did help his efforts in gaining her [platonic] love and affection

Spent damn near every waking moment with her, which unsurprisingly did help his efforts in gaining her [romantic] love and affection

Sparring? Let me wrap your hands

Going out? Here, I'll zip your coat

Smoking? C'mon Bun, tell me what's bothering you, I can help

It was the little, everyday acts of love kindness from Soap that had her hooked on the feeling of being in his presence

So you can imagine how devastating it'd felt for the both of them when the special unit had been called back to the states

Even with promises to call and text and facetime, the feeling of his heart sinking to his stomach made him realize there were feelings he harbored towards Rabbit that went beyond the typical bond between soldiers

But orders are orders, and he'd been sure to give her a chaste kiss on the cheek before ushering her up the ramp and onto the heli waiting to rip her away from him

Not that either admitted it to the other at the time, but they'd both been teased to no end about their 'special friendship' by the rest of their units, cheeks warming yet refusing to deny the accusations

Like true friends, though, they did kept their promise

If it wasn't hours of texting it was calls, only skipping days when on mission but always sure to inform the other of their departure beforehand

It was hard most days. Seeing the other come back from days or even weeks of no-contact with new cuts and bruises

It was especially hard, though, after Verdansk

Soap had beaten himself up pretty hard after the whole ordeal with Makarov- the guilt of not being able to save those people in the airport, the shame of losing his cool in front of his superiors, the regret of not just avenging those people by shooting the man and facing the consequences later- he'd talked through his entire range of emotions with her despite the distance

Then, because the universe always yearned for cruelty, she got the assignment

Covert operation

Ciudad Victoria

Two days, wheels up at 0400

Now her home base had been Pendleton since basic, and if there's one thing the San Diego base requires, it's soldiers willing to cross the border and sweat their asses off for hours on end scouting some target for shit pay and no reward

She'd done it before, six months turned into twelve turned into eighteen until eventually she'd been volunteering to go, years under her belt and quickly moving up the ranks, Mexico now a second home in her mind. Anything to get away from that place

But Victoria? That was a city she'd only seen on mission reports, only heard of by way of interrogation

But orders are orders, and he'd been sure to tell her he'd miss her before ushering her to dump her phone in her locker and get onto the heli waiting to rip her away from him again

Soap didn't get a call for quite a while after that

His first contact, actually, hadn't even been Rabbit

It was Sparks

Locker pried open with permission from Griggs (not that he waited even a second to be granted it), he'd charged her phone and called the one person he thought deserved to know

"MacTavish? It's Sparks. Highwater, she's... she's MIA. Entire task force was found slaughtered. An ambush, I think. We don't- we're not entirely sure yet. Griggs can't get a straight answer. The whole things fucked, we can't- the area's got it's own governing body. They haven't... they've searched but they haven't found a body. We're not calling it until they do. I'm sorry, kid."

Two months

Two months Soap cried until his lungs spasmed

Two months Soap cried until his head ached and eyes burned

Two months Soap cried to his mother about the woman he loved

Two months until he got the call that damn near restarted his heart

"Soap? Soap, we found her. We have her, she's being taken to medical. We found her, kid."

Johnny's not sure he remembers a time he'd cried harder. He'd like to say it was when Sparks had first called him, but even then, he held onto some hope she'd made it out 'like you always do'

That'd been their promise to each other, and he vividly recalls telling Price that as he sobbed over the man's shoulder in relief

She'd been put on medical leave, forced to wave goodbye to her family as they flew off to Urzikstan without her

It was at that point- hearing her cry over the phone about how useless she'd felt being left behind, how she'd failed the only family that had ever truly cared about her- that he realized a trip to the states was in dire need

Entered the U.S. friends, exited the U.S. partners

Johnny's a man that focuses on the positives

He doesn't talk about those two months. Not to his therapist, not to his ma, not to Price

He focuses on the fact that his torment is over, he focuses on the woman laying her head on his shoulder and tapping her boot against his on the shaky helicarrier

Because that's all that matters to him. The little moments between missions where they can focus on something other than saving the world for a moment

It's a type of love, a type of dynamic the man had never experienced before

'Intimate' is the best word to describe it

Will 'accidentally' detonate an old grenade taken into the training grounds to 'see if it still worked', just to see the other's eyes light up in a sort of pyromaniac excitement

Will also take up an entire couch quietly lounging, arms wrapped around each other under a shared blanket because 'it's a low energy type of day'

It's all or nothing- completely feral, unhinged 'I'll request the jailcell across from you' behavior or soft, domestic bliss

No words need be exchanged for that energy to shift- just a subtle glance and soft smile, a type of telepathy easily mastered after four years of being together

And Johnny wouldn't have it any other way

Ghost:

Initially doesn't even want to address her by Rabbit

He couldn't take the callsign seriously, especially after realizing this was the woman Soap had been babbling about in Verdansk

He knew more about her personal life than he did her military career, and he'd read her file back to front twice. Well, what hadn't been redacted, anyways

Decides he'll stick to Gun, as requested, but only when necessary. Better than Rabbit, at least

But after Soap's little confession while her comms are down in Las Almas? Now Gun just won't do. Decides to stick with Darling until he's figured out a better one. Knows she won't mind, anyways

Calls her Lovie a small handful of times, blink and you'll miss it, and it's only in a NSFW context ;) soft!dom Ghost supremacy

Settles on Tapeti once the dust settles and he knows he's wormed his way into her heart the same way Soap had

They're close in a way he can't say about anyone else

Does he love his team? Of course

Would he lay his life down for any one of them the second the opportunity presented itself? Also yes

But there's something about shared trauma that bonds the soul

Neither talk about it much

It's honestly easier to use Soap as the go-between on a lot of things

She's already told him, already bared her soul for him to see in that deserted apartment, and Simon's grateful Johnny omits certain heart wrenching details when he runs his hands over her scarred back, runs his hands over the raised tattoos that cover the remnants of Victoria

He doesn't yearn to know the specifics, most days he's not sure he wants to know at all

He'd made peace with his demons a long time ago, had to in order to survive, but he knew it wouldn't be so easy forgiving what'd been done to her

It wasn't hard to infer, anyway

They have a calendar, a pocket sized one with a little magnet attached that hangs on their fridge

It was Ghost's idea, after one of those days when the shakes were debilitating and she couldn't keep her food down

He'd set the container of soup from the deli across their flat on the counter, pulling Soap away from her curled up side and showing him the dollar store purchase

He didn't explain, just scribbled out a few dates and passed the calendar over

So Johnny took the pen and started scratching out days

He didn't explain all of them, only murmured the easy ones like 'her mother's birthday' or 'her comrades death date' or 'Victoria'

There's a deeper understanding there, between the three of them, and if there's one thing Simon can attest to while stomping out the butt of his cigarette onto Grave's false tombstone, it's his appreciation for the man's betrayal in Las Almas that lead him into the couple's outstretched arms

Gaz:

Best boy, here

The baby of the group, a few years younger than Rabbit who shares a birthyear with Soap

Uses that to his advantage

Calls her Officer Hopps on more than one occasion, not afraid to more commonly shorten it down to just 'Hopps'

Always in a playful loving manner, not that it matters when Rabbit's glare quickly follows

Also thinks it's funny to call her 'Gunnery Hopps' when in the presence of other soldiers, tries to play it off as a genuine tongue slip despite his wide grin proving otherwise

Again, uses his baby privilege to his advantage, whipping out the puppy eyes and small kisses that has Rabbit's glare melting into a soft smile

Typically sticks with Love- partially because he's a true Birmingham boy and the term of endearment comes naturally to him- mainly because it keeps her wound around his finger

Starts a fight by betting Price 20 quid he could cut a chunk out of Soap's mohawk? He's running to hide behind her, basking in her warmth and sticking a tongue out at Johnny over her shoulder

Smug as all hell, knows he's been deemed the favorite and is sure to remind the other men of it constantly

He'll tell them it's 'just because she loves me more, mate' but they all know the real reason

It's his calm, level-headed personality and natural ability to lead that endears him to her so easily

She never questions his judgement because what he lacks in years he makes up for in everything else by tenfold

And he looks up to Rabbit immensely- he may not initially know the finer details of her military experience, just general war stories Sparks and the rest of the Demon Dogs had told him in Urzikstan when she'd been out on medical leave, but he does know what being a 0251 MOS entails, knows he'll never come across a better Gunnery Sergeant even if he retires at 80

Aims to become a GySgt after seeing her serve as their unit's operations chief, working with superior officers on training, operations, and tactical advising

Asks a million questions and- though he'd never admit it- keeps a log of their answers in his notes app. He's just organized like that

She noticed anyways, what with his trusting nature and big heart (he gladly passed over his phone passcode within the first week of them being official), and it was actually that notes app list of all the little throw away tidbits about her role on the team that led her to write his letter of recommendation

That’s just the dynamic they have, they bring out the best in each other in every way, even when they don’t think it’s possible given the circumstances

He's only two years younger, and yet he feels so lacking in experience when they're thrown into red-stained chairs with threadbare bags over their heads

"You been tortured before, Gaz?"

"No."

"That's good. Let's keep it that way. Stay quiet and keep your eyes forward."

He remembers blanching at her nonchalant tone, the way she talked as if she'd done this a hundred times before.

She has, he realizes, and he feels a sort of naive embarrassment wash over him when he really thinks about it

Interrogation and Debrief Specialist, he thought, you don't earn that title by just sitting and reading about it

He didn't have much time to sit and process that thought before the men were reentering the dark room

He's unable to fathom how she'd kept her breathing so calm, refrained from letting out a single yell or grunt or sniffle until the men had slammed the metal door on their exit

It was hard for him, returning to base after what had transpired

It didn't sit right with him- the fact that he'd allowed himself to sit there and let the woman he'd been falling in love with be beaten within an inch of her life

But she'd comforted him, face swollen and leg wrapped, knocking her boot into his with a smile

He'd knocked his boot back into hers, and decided from there on out she'd know exactly how much she meant to him

Price:

The only member of the 141 to actually refer to her by her callsign. Captain's professionalism and all that.

Throws it out the window the second he deems necessary- which is quite often- resorts to Sweetheart

He knows more about her than anyone else, Johnny the only exception, and that isn't something he takes lightly

He'd read the reports. The redacted ones. He knew what happened after Victoria, he'd been the one to okay her transfer, to accept doing a favor for the Demon Dogs after their good work in Urzikstan and promising he'd 'keep an eye on her'

He understands the vulnerability in that fact, and is sure to do everything in his power to prove to her he's someone she can trust, even after she's told him time and time again he's done more than enough to prove his loyalty

Fortunately, years of hearing about each other via Soap and the Demon Dogs proved useful once they'd finally met at the top of that wall guarding Alejandro's base, easily falling into a sort of mutual understanding of each other

It helped that he was a natural patriarch, the glue holding the team together, ensuring they worked as a well oiled machine both on and off base

Soap vouched for Price and that was all the convincing Rabbit needed. So when Price vouched for Ghost and Gaz? It felt instinctual to trust the men wholeheartedly

Scary as it was initially, Price just knew. Simple as that, he knew what the team needed and exactly how to go about it, and she trusted that

He was arguably the most experienced in navigating trauma, and that definitely lent a hand to the comfortability of the team

He’s perfected the art of understanding each of the members of the task force and it’s something Rabbit didn’t realize she yearned for until she had it

He’s become the physical embodiment of her safe space in a way she never thought was possible. She breathes easier when he’s in eyesight, the tension drops from her shoulders when he’s near

Despite being one who only rarely accepted physical affection from anyone other than Soap, Rabbit named Price 'Seat of the Year', and that's meant quite literally

Cuddles are mandatory team bonding. He doesn't make the rules (yes he does)

Arguably the most giving partner on the face of the planet

Is happy to lean back in his chair and cut off the blood supply to his legs if it means Rabbit is soothed by the way his hands run over her arms and scratch at her scalp, perched on his lap and quickly drifting off to sleep as he presses light kisses onto the junction between her neck and shoulder

His brain is constantly alerting his body of his need to protect and provide. It'd still happen even if he'd never approved her transfer, that's just the kind of man he is, but he wouldn't have been nearly as emboldened without her there

Gaz yawns in the midst of completing a mission report? He's already tossing the man over his shoulder and forcing him to rest for once

Soap lets out the quietest sigh of pain when that one muscle in his shoulder starts twinging again? He's already pushing the man to sit and rounding the couch to dig his strong hands into the stubborn muscle

Ghost's stomach lets out singular growl? Guess that stack of paperwork can be finished tomorrow, it's now his personal mission to ensure the man has eaten a nutritious meal that checks off every micro and macro nutrient possibly needed to ensure health and prosperity in that beefy body

Perfectly content to love and love and love for absolutely nothing in return besides seeing his team happy and healthy

Unbeknownst to him, he very quickly charms his way into her heart with his thick thighs caring nature, dilf energy warm smiles, and ofc the boonie hat

General Character Headcanons:

Rabbit:

-As mentioned in the Personnel Files, Rabbit is a Gunnery Sergeant and a 0251 MOS [Interrogator/Debrief Specialist]

-Gunnery Sergeant is her rank- serving as her unit's operations chief, working with superior officers on training, operations, and tactical advising

-0251 is her job code [MOS]. 0251 specifically means being an Interrogator/Debriefer in the US Marine Corps. This job involves collecting information/intelligence from human sources by means of interrogation, debriefing, and screening. Typical duties are the screening and interrogation of enemy POWs, line crossers, refugees, and other displaced persons, exploiting foreign language documents, and participating in noncombatant evacuation operations

-A common requirement for this job is being at the very least bilingual, and it's canon here that Rabbit speaks Spanish alongside English. With that said, many apologies to those reading this that speak Spanish because I'm using translation websites (yes I disappoint my Mexican grandparents every day)

-Rabbit is a Demon Dog, but was not in Urzikstan due to medical leave. She has direct permission from the US Marine Corps, SAS, and Price to be stationed in the UK base 'on loan' as a Demon Dog since they are part of the Coalition, led by the CIA's best Station Chief Kate Laswell :D

-Again, as shown in the Personnel Files, Rabbit does not have many character descriptors listed. I'm trying my best to make her as inclusive as I possibly can while still flushing out her character. I don't like the self-insert '[h/c] [e/c]' format, so I just avoid it all together

-Rabbit is an only child

-Also it's not really about Rabbit per say but in my story Griggs is a Captain. He leads the Demon Dogs and therefore holds a higher rank that Rabbit. It makes sense to me in this story that he'd be of similar age and rank as Price

Soap:

-I’ve seen a few people say based on his accent Soap is likely from Glasgow but unfortunately I’ve only been to Edinburgh so we’re using our creative liberty here and saying that's where he's from plz and thank u <3

-Johnny is the baby of the family with 3 older sisters. His poor mother was pregnant for damn near four years straight

-He's close with his entire family, but especially his mother and youngest sister

-Also I'm not killing him in this story. I wrote a good portion of it pre-MW3 and that campaign sucked so I'm ignoring it :)

Ghost:

-Simon is from Manchester. Yeah yeah yeah ik there’s a whole thing ab his accent and yada ya but my first London pub-watch rugby game was Leeds vs Wigan, so we’re sticking with canon here

-Wigan is in Greater Manchester so I like the headcanon that Ghost’s father was a ManUnited football fan so teen!Simon said ‘oh fuck that’ and instead chose to take the 45 minute train to go watch rugby in another city

-I'm basing a lot of his character off of both the comics and game, however there is one thing to note. In the comics, 'Sparks' is one of the soldiers that assists in getting Simon's family killed. This is not the same Sparks I refer to in this story. Shane Sparks is a Demon Dog, and I'm writing in his character for specific plot devices. He'll likely be completely OC since I just grabbed his basic profile off the character wiki.

Gaz:

-Haven’t heard any confirmation on where Gaz is from but my love Elliot Knight is from Birmingham so ding ding ding, we have a winner

-Only child, the absolute pride and joy of his parent's life. He's a total mama's boy and it was largely her good morals and outlook on life that steered him in the direction of wanting to better the world

Price:

-Liverpool. Again, I’m not sure if there’s confirmation as to where Price is from but my love ( yes I can have two >:| ) Barry Sloane is from Livahpewl soooooo

-Semi-sad headcanon for Price here. Idk why but I feel a strong pull to the idea that his parents have passed, despite him only being 36 in my story, putting them somewhere in their 60's

-On a happier note, I also like the idea that John is an older brother, so we're going with that

-

[xjulixred45x]

I was watching Coraline and out of nowhere this idea came to me...

Platonic yandere! Kenjaku for Geto's child.

like, Geto had a child with Reader (anyone) and everything was happiness in a certain way, Geto and Reader loved and cared a lot about their baby, and the family loved them, they taught them the "proper" way of seeing the world, everything was fine until the events of the JJK0 Movie. Geto dies, Reader may even suffer the same fate.

and poor (child's name) is devastated, but they is taken care of by Mimiko and Nanako (their dear older sisters) and everything goes WELL, not great, but good.

but then Kenjaku possesses Geto's body. Consequently, he finds out about the existence of (child name), and since the child could inherit Geto's cursed ritual, he decides to see if this is the case to see if it is worth it.

What he didn't expect was to start to care in some way about the child, maybe it was because of Geto's body, but he definitely started to have some interest in the child apart from their possible usefulness.

stalking them became a normal ritual for him, in a way taking note of certain "important aspects" that he said would help him if the child came under his wing (which was really just making sure the child ate well or if they was physically healthy), things they were allergic to, he even searched Geto's memory for things they liked and didn't like, all to have a profile of the child.

So, when Mimiko and Nanako appear to him, he KNOWS that (child's name) is nearby, and decides to take the chance. He disappears in front of them and they quickly realize what he was trying to do and go to look for (child's name). but when they find them, they are running straight to their ""father"" and Kenjaku says goodbye to the twins with his shit-eating smile.

The girls yell at (child's name) something, but they're is so happy and glad that somehow their father is alive after a year of anguish, but then they realizes something, the way he hugs them, how he refers to them, and when they look at him and see THAT scar...they realize that they made a big mistake.

that THING is not their father....

Kenjaku is still smiling, but he is in "character" and asks them if they are not happy, but they turn away (or try to) and say the OBVIOUS...he is not their father.

Now, what does this have to do with Coraline? well, precisely the scene in which the other mother transforms for the first time.

Something similar would happen with (child's name) and Kenjaku, who continues to treat them as if they were father and child, introduces them as such to Mahito, Jogo, Hanami and Choso, talks to them like Geto used to do, makes them participate in the games he has with his colleagues, etc.

and (child's name) IS FED UP. Fed up with this man-thing holding them against their will, using the body of their ACTUAL FATHER, ripping them away from the twins and the Family that REALLY loved them, and they feels this is a twisted game for Kenjaku.

So he goes and tells him exactly that, that they are FED UP OF HIM, that they want HIM TO LET THEM LET GO, THAT THEY WANT TO RETURN TO THE TWINS AND THEIR REAL FAMILY.

Now, even after everything, they were never "mean" to Kenjaku, mostly out of fear and uncertainty of the situation, so Kenjaku is a little shocked by this change of attitude, but he's definitely a little irritated that make HIM look like the bad guy when it was THEY who ran into his arms (manipulation there, eh, manipulation).

So he gets more serious, and tells (child's name) that "That's no way to talk to your FATHER."

And (child's name) is like "YOU'RE. NOT...MY. FATHER"

(Mahito, Jogo and Hanami look like a surprised pikachu)

AND KENJAKU "APOLOGIZE....AT ONCE...(Child's name)"

"NO"

Kenjaku is losing his patience, and although he loves (child's name) very much (something like that) he stops, stands in front of them and gives them one LAST CHANCE to apologize for their lack of respect.

"I'm going to give you up to the count of THREE"

"ONE..."

"...TWO..."

"....THREE-"

and using his Curse Manipulation, he throws (Child name) a bunch of small curses that while "harmless" are definitely terrifying. The poor child is screaming and crying in horror and Kenjaku leaves them like that for a while so that they can "learn to be a good child"

and when he decides they have had enough, he destroys the curses that tormented them and returns to his normal patient self. When (child's name) goes to him, all scartched, they lets out an almost inaudible "I'm sorry" and Kenjaku just gives them a Headpat and tells them that "we all tend to have bad mood days" and gives them a cookie.

(bastard).

(I also imagine he uses gravity manipulation to make (child's name) go directly to him, or force them to come and give him a hug.)

I imagine that Mimiko and Nanako are constantly not only trying to kill Kenjaku, but also to find out where he is holding (child's name) captive and save them (let's pretend they don't die, please) along with the family.

I think they would only have a chance in the Shibuya arc, when the twins go to claim him for Geto's body, they also claim him for (Child's name), but obviously Kenjaku doesn't comply with either of them.

but fortunately since Dagon is killed, (Child's name) manages to get out to the outside world, asking for help from whoever, that is, Nanami, Maki and Naobito... until Jogo roasts them and tries to grab them.

(Child's name) runs away, but Jogo is hot on their heels, fortunately they manages to run into the twins and SUKUNA (they is not so lucky, the Twins survive! With horrible scars that Sukuna left, but survive).

While Jogo and Sukuna fight, the Twins take (Child's name) away, happy to see them safe and sound again.

although of course, when Kenjaku realizes it, he won't be happy at all.....

(^his live reaction when he found out that (Child's name) run away)

‼️NIGHTBRINGER LESSON 39 SPOILERS‼️

masterlist | all lessons | season 2 | lesson 38 | lesson 40

this was hilarious until i remember that satan is indeed the avatar of wrath and has destroyed the house of lamentations more tines than i can count on both hands. then it got slightly less hilarious, but it's still hilarious

ik we all joke about lucifer being satan's dad bc he technically is but this is PEAK father-son behavior 😭 satan throwing a temper tantrum, no pun intended, over not being able to adopt a cat is one of the funniest things ever actually

y'all know i love me some angst but dear GOD am i happy that we're getting something lighthearted after the emotional rollercoaster that was lesson 38

also we got our room back hehe 🫶🏽

aaaaand now they back to brothers

"nuh uh" "uh huh" DAMN just let him have the cat 😭

shithead lucifer my beloved 🫶🏽 and it's even more heartwarming bc we can see how much he's relaxed and recovered from the incident in cocytus. him smiling and laughing and joking with his brothers freely after the fear of losing them has finally been dissipated has to be a weight off of his shoulders, and a weight off of his brothers' shoulders, too. he's probably been less of himself since the fall, and this is probably more reminiscent of the lucifer from back in the celestial realm

i hc that mammon's familiars/crows just roam around the house freely, so this is even more frustrating for satan bc he's like "well if mammon can have pets, why can't i?"

oh baby :(((

just when i thought we'd gotten away from the angst, i was reminded that we are (i am) indeed on lesson 39 outta 40...ykw at least i was happy for a little bit

10/10 storytelling and writing. i love it when siblings ACTUALLY act like siblings, bc some media doesn't do sibling dynamics justice

granted, solomon isnt their sibling, but lucifer said it once AND doubled down bc he saw that it pissed satan off the first time. the older sibling in me smiled

ik i've said this before but...

lucifer says he hates when his brothers pester him like they don't get it from him 😭 oh no, if it isn't the consequences of your own actions!

now i feel like mammon might be onto something...what if he actually is stronger than lotan? but he doesn't want things to go past empty, playful threats bc hurting lotan would devastate levi, and he adores his little brother too much to do anything that irresponsible. more on this here

the brothers ever 🫶🏽 petty sibling dynamics always get me

satan reusing asmo's phrase after lucifer and solomon used it against him is peak comedy

ADHD TWINS

i can't do long, complicated shit for the life of me without getting sidetracked or overwhelmed

...unless it's these long ass posts

but that's different...kind of

so THAT'S why he was giggling and kicking his feet the whole time?? "hehehe" my ass you sly bitch

also, you can see the amount of pride lucifer feels towards satan just by the way he's acting throughout this entire lesson. he also knew wholeheartedly that satan would, one way or another, find a way to summon the white dragon. he egged satan on and teased him on purpose, which probably made his powers stronger. but i feel like the teasing also was a mask for encouragement

it was obviously still teasing at the heart, but there was a little more to it that reflected how proud lucifer is of his baby brother for coming into his own

also satan initiating the family picture at the end ??? I SOBBED

the lucifer from our timeline would NEVER allow a pet into the house. but the lucifer from our timeline also didn't get to heal the way this lucifer did, so now i'm kinda sad just thinking about that

maybe he thinks having a pet would mean that they're permanently staying in one place? and he still doesn't feel secure enough in his place in the devildom even after all the time he's spent there, even after making a home and a name for himself and his brothers. maybe he considered letting satan get a pet once mc came into the picture, and still toys with the idea, but keeps deciding against it for some internal reason that he won't address

MY WIFE MY BELOVED THE LOVE OF MY LIFE IS BACK

they really do invite any and everyone into the family. i love them so much it makes me insane

completely unrelated but i never realized that the kiss sounds are different for each brother ??? is thus just a nightbringer thing or am i just too far removed from the og game

[666writingcafe]

Sloth

Belphie

This time, no one can say that I didn't keep my mouth shut. I've minded my own business through all this foolishness. Not just about the flash flood, but everything pertaining to MC. Ever since their little confession to me a few months ago, I've been doing some research. The reason why I was so skeptical about their identity? Possession. It opens doors in the mind that never truly shut, even if the soul travels across realms. Which means that at some point in their life, I've been inside MC.

And not just spiritually, but that's a different subject all together.

More pieces fell into place when Satan dragged me into his room one afternoon and eagerly whispered to me what he overheard in the castle's library. MC must have an extraordinary amount of power to be able to survive pacts with all seven of us in their timeline, and the longer they're here, the more out of control that power has become. Something must have kept it under control back home that they no longer have access to.

So, to make a long story short, after MC found all of us hiding in the attic, they grew a tantrum so major that it drained whatever energy they had left and made them and everyone else pass out. Well, except for me, but that makes sense. If Beel and Levi experienced less of their sin, then I should, too.

Unfortunately, nothing I do seems to be waking any of them up.

Mammon, Asmo, Satan, and Beel all had to face their greatest fear as part of their transformation. Losing my sister was mine. Don't get me wrong; I love Beel and would be devastated if he were suddenly taken away from me. We have a special bond as twins, after all. But Lilith and I...

We were soulmates.

I know that normally has romantic implications, but not in this case. She was not only my sister, but my best friend. We got each other in a way no one else did. When she fell to her death, something inside of me tore away and flew down with her, never to be seen again. Not even Beel can fill the hole that was left behind.

And I've made peace with that. So what if I normally can't stay awake for long periods of time? I was already dozing off frequently in the Celestial Realm long before the War happened, so becoming the Avatar of Sloth seemed like something that was meant to happen anyway.

But MC's clearly fighting something in that brain of theirs, and the only way to wake everyone up is to figure out what that thing is and defeat it, at least temporarily.

Interestingly enough, right when I leave the attic and head downstairs to get reinforcements, I nearly trip over a little demon. By its purple coloring, my guess is that it's Little D. No. 7. For whatever reason, we were all assigned colors, and purple happens to be mine.

"The others are outside," No. 7 mumbles.

"What others?" I ask, causing it to glare at me like I'm the stupidest being alive.

"The prince and his friends. They've come to help us, but there's a problem. Everything on this side of the gate is asleep, and anything that crosses it immediately falls prey to our magic."

"So they're waiting for us, then?" No. 7 sighs.

"Unfortunately. I tried telling them that it's too risky, but they seem determined to save the day or whatever." It pauses as it glances up the stairs. "It's coming from up there. I can feel its pulse beating against my own. We can only bring one of them inside with us. Any more, and we won't be strong enough to fight against it."

"I thought you'd be enjoying this right now." Another sigh, more annoyed this time.

"Listen, if you want to experience a world where you never sleep a single wink ever again, then be my guest. But that is not on my agenda, so the sooner we can get this over with, the sooner I can return to my nice, comfy bed and rest." With that, it turns around and stomps down the rest of the stairs, forcing me to follow it all the way outside. Sure enough, there are five people standing on the other side of the gate, looking nervously at the House.

"This is ridiculous!" Of course the eggplant would complain. "First I get caught in a sudden storm without an umbrella, then I got dragged into a dinky little boat--"

"An ark," Simeon quietly corrects.

"--and forced to sit in there for days--"

"It was only two days at most," Barbatos calmly interrupts.

"How was I supposed to know that?! My normal time-keeping devices were at home! I can't even report any of this, since I had no way of writing any of it down!"

"You really are a drama queen, aren't you?" Kind of surprised to see the reaper here, but maybe Diavolo took pity on her. He's weird like that.

"I beg your pardon?! I'll have you know that I hold an important seat on the House of Lords! I refuse to be subject to such slander!"

"And this is why most of us don't like you." No. 7 hops on a gate post and looks directly at Mephistopheles. "The stick up your ass is so deep and long that I'm surprised it hasn't poked out of your mouth yet. You should be grateful that Diavolo seems to be the one person that tolerates your ass enough to let you on the ark in the first place. I for one would have been perfectly content with watching you drown."

"Seven, enough." The first thing I notice about Diavolo is how weary he looks. Something tells me sleep has eluded him before the first signs of rain even occurred.

Then our eyes meet, and suddenly I'm sucked into a vision. We're in an orate courtroom, watching MC as a boogeyman flies out of a dark red chest and transform into a form eerily similar to the one they've taken as Zephyr.

The vision only lasts a moment, but it tells me everything I need to know.

"Him." I gesture towards Diavolo so that No. 7 can see who I'm referring to. The little demon glances between the two of us before shrugging nonchalantly.

"Fair enough." It hops from the post directly into Diavolo's arms. "Lead the way, Belphegor."

[syndrossi]

also another AU idea popped out for Daemon, in which from the twins perspective he dies trying to keep them safe from idk warlocks, craynes, enemies, etc. and we find out instead of dying, he wakes up a few years on the verge of the Dance and his sons are grown and they can’t believe their father is back.

how would they react? because Jon saw him die and now he’s back and Jon’s had experience with that sort of thing with two very different results. Whilst Rhaegar, having lost so many good parental figures never expected to gain one back.

and there’s Daemon thinking he was going to just DIE and instead he’s alive only he’s lost even MORE time with his sons who are looking eerily close to the age he saw them die in the candle-nightmare so now he’s very against Jon going anywhere in the North and making sure Rhaegar never steps foot in the Riverlands (something Jon whole-heartedly agrees with)

I think if Caraxes is still around and "re-chooses" Daemon, Jon takes that as definitive proof that it's no trick, and it's just one of those weird things like waking up in the Dance. Same with Rhaegar.

As to how emotional the reunion--it'll be emotional either way, but it's much deeper the more time they had with him before losing him. The twins so far have only been with Daemon for not even two full weeks, which is wild when you think about it. Losing him after a year or so would be absolutely devastating.

And it'll be devastating to Daemon to lose those years with them, which should have been some of happiest. Hopefully there's a grandkid or two to console him and give him a baby to hold in his arms. (If Daemon gets together with Rhaenyra at some point, any resulting children would have that weird thing going on where their nieces/nephews are OLDER than them.)

Jon would be older than what he saw in the vision, however, if you're talking original Dance timeline, which takes place when Aegon is in his early twenties (and thus so would Jon and Rhaegar be).

"ouch. . .yeah i got it, isn't cinnamorroll like...her favorite or something like that?"

"all i see is her on the couch wanting see news about the safety of her idol and the others. . .it's devasting see her like that, sad, with no hope"

"aha, yeah and you know what is the issue? NO! so why try, maybe he retired"

"there's a thing more i had notice lately. . .Mr. Puzzles-"

"i thought you wanted him dead!? he finally disappeared!! HELLO!? EARTH CALLING SMG4?? AFTER EVERYTHING HE HAD DONE TO US!?"

". . .what if he was kidnapped too? weird things happened here as Mr. Puzzles "disappeared" hasn't you notice Kuromi had been more. . .popular lately? around all the world? even that camping "Kuromify the world" started as "he" disappeared and the characters started post about kuromi and the kuromify the world camping too when he exactly disappeared"

"and?"

"3. . .i don't think this isn't even Mr. Puzzles, we are dealing with something. . .alike him but not him! when i walked by the streets i saw that weird Mr. Puzzles, yet he looked waaaay too different, shorter, with the Kuromi like palette color. . .with Kuromi Stuff, the weird? is that no one questions them!"

"what if he just decided change genders, colors and finally get a life?"

"i have a feeling we need to resolve it, for the stability of the world, 3 i need you and the rest of the crew to investigate that weird puzzles, i am SURE she has the answers to everything, the kidnappings, the Kuromi popularity raise. . .and the real Mr. Puzzles disappearance!"

"i think i saw her too. . .she sometimes carries a plushie that is like Mr. Puzzles and call it her husband. . .4, are you sure that "new puzzles" is the problem of all this? or just a weirdo!?"

"trust me 3. . .i never was so sure before. . .she too has magic that no one has ever detected here. . .i can feel it as a meme guardian, it not belongs here. . ."

. . .

Introducing #14!

[picrew]

Name: Fay Age: 23 (when he joins the Foxes) Height: 5'6"  Gender: male Sexuality: gay/demisexual Position: Striker/Goalie (also bottom lol) Number: 14

(more under the cut. it got... long)

Background:

Played striker through middle school. Started playing goalie in high school. So, he can handle both but is a better goalie than striker.

He has younger twin siblings. One boy, one girl. He hasn't seen them in years. And does not want to. (They know what they did. :/)

One day during his senior year, his best friend tried to kiss him and he blurted out that he was gay. She got pissed and outed him to his parents, who did not take it well. When they eventually kicked him out, he moved in with his boyfriend's family.

Marcus:

They met at one of Fay's games. Marcus had come to watch his younger cousin play and they bumped into each other. Marcus kept coming and would cheer for his cousin and Fay. Since his family didn't support him, it meant a lot.

Eventually after a game, Marcus asked him out and Fay was really flattered, so he said yes.

The bad thing was... Marcus was 21 when they met. Fay was almost 17. (He thought he was 'mature for his age' and didn't see the gap as a problem. It was.)

Unfortunately (?), one night while the two of them were sitting on swings in a park, Marcus was shot and killed in a drive-by. Fay was also hit, but survived.

Aftermath:

Waking up in the hospital and being told his boyfriend was dead took a huge toll.

He didn't believe them. He demanded them to take him to Marcus. And when they couldn't/wouldn't, he sort of lost it. He attacked a couple nurses, breaking one's nose and spraining one's wrist.

After that, he was promptly sedated and moved to the psych ward for a bit. He does not like to talk about it.

The Ravens:

Fay was nearly recruited to the Ravens. And he was so excited. It was his dream. He was so set on it that Marcus's nickname for him was 'little bird'.

But he was in the hospital when he was supposed to go audition for the team. By the time he was healed, Tetsuji wouldn't allow him to. (So he dodged a huge bullet there. Like. We can all agree to that. Right?)(Well, he's about to run into a different one. :()

The Wildcats:

Having lost his boyfriend and his dream, Fay was understandably devastated. But Marcus' parents liked him. They helped him change his name to Aaron Farris, because he didn't want to be connected to his parents anymore.

And then he accepted a scholarship to UK, his second choice school. (UK= University of Kentucky, btw.)

Everything is fun and great and wonderful. Except for one thing. The captain is weirdly touchy with him. Especially after he turns eighteen.

It keeps getting worse and worse. Luckily, a couple of his teammates/friends notice that Captain Creep (senior starting striker, Collin Scott, #38) has been creeping on him and try to run interference.

Their coach thinks he's making it up. That he wants to be a starting striker and is trying to get Collin kicked off the team about it. (14 was playing goalie so that made no since. But the coach was Collin's uncle, so...)

Eventually, Farris gets injured during a match. Fucks his knee straight up. He has to stay off the court for a couple months. But at least Collin is graduating! That means he won't have to deal with that anymore-

Wait. Collin has decided to stick around for a fifth year. Shit.

Farris decides he can't play for UK anymore. He drops and loses his scholarship. And then he doesn't know what to do.

The Butlers:

But Marcus' parents are mafia. Farris had no idea. That's why Marcus was killed, it was one of his father's rivals sending a message.

He offers Farris a job.

So, with a freshly-healed knee and a new identity, he starts to do low level mob work. Kill someone here, deliver something there, don't ask questions. (Never ask questions.)

He ends up traveling the country and working for a dozen different bosses, doing a lot of terrible shit. Making friends and enemies and money.

Uh. Oopsie. This got super long and we're still not at the part where he joins the Foxes yet. TwT I'm going to cut it off here anyway and if anyone is interested, I will definitely be down to tell you more! <3 Also if you have any questions about 14, please send me an ask. I will be so happy to ramble about him! :3

Tagging: @joanofexys and @ordei <3

[cummodus]

I have seen your tags and I am here to tell you that if it is unhealthy (and for my own part I can say that it is for sure but these emotions need to go somewhere either way), at least we're in this together. I think I need to figure out something happy to patch up the last week which I've dedicated solely to processing the parts of this story that REALLY hurt. We need more Geta enjoying sports. Geta as the primary investor in their gladiators? Watching them train at the ludus, having honeyed nuts and wine in the shade. I don't know what the hell Caracalla likes that isn't blood or sex or drugs but I'm inventing a thing right now: in the film, we don't even get as much of him with Dondus as we do with the script, but they must have been inseparable offscreen.

And just. Imagining them spending time on a courtyard. Picking fruit out of the trees. Napping in the sun.

I'm glad we're all in this together, all collectively torturing ourselves and being devastated together and also fueling the fire with more and more pain zjdjdjdjdjjd

Geta being happy and content, safe and relaxed and having fun is all I want to think about from now on (it's not going to happen I know). I've spent so much time thinking about the endless horror of his circumstances that I've completely forgotten that his days might actually not be filled with stress and agony 24/7 😭 He should definitely watch more sports and make stupid bets and lose more money for the empire, relax in bath houses and get pampered by kind and gentle servants, play games himself as well, maybe he likes board games? Idk which games were invented at that point but maybe he would enjoy some (maybe they would be too boring for him if he enjoys the adrenaline rush of Bigger games or maybe he would find them relaxing). Napping in the sun sounds wonderful besides the sunburn since they are a bit too pale for that but I assume you meant under canopies in the shade while being fanned and being fed grapes like Real Royalty.

One can only speculate what Caracalla would enjoy besides those things but you're right I bet he spends a lot of time with Dondus 😭❤️ ((as a sidenote I wonder if Caracalla has a hard time feeling empathy for anyone except Dondus?)) Caracalla would probably despise boardgames or the like, they require too much concentration but I'm sure he also likes some calmer moments. We're never shown the twins enjoy any hobbies like art and those things probably wouldn't have been encouraged in their childhood (art is messy and music is loud) so I'm not sure if they'd want to pick any of those up in their adulthood but maybe?

Whatever it is the twins enjoy I want them to have a good time and yes Caracalla's illness is in a latent state or gets miraculously cured and they will live (relatively) long (relatively) happy lives together and Caracalla is loved and cared for even if his illness makes him act out ❤️

[welcome-to-ratterrock]

i’m not sure if i remember clearly or not but the Regals had three or two more siblings that died? i think one of them was called Rodrick 😭

what was the Regal’s relationship with them before they died? were they close? or did they never get the time to become actual siblings cause they died too early?

Yes, there were seven Regal siblings altogether -

Rodrick (affectionately referred to as “Rod” by his family) was born a year after Saoirse and died two years before our story begins.

Carmella and Ciarán were twins and youngest of the family, born very soon after Rod. Ciarán died when he was five years old, and Carmella died ten years later.

They were all extremely close and loved each other deeply. There was bickering and the usual sibling shenanigans, but nothing truly hurtful. Carmella and Ciarán did see Padraic more as a father figure than a brother, because they didn’t have a chance to truly know Seamus, so that was one thing that was unique to them and them alone.

The death of Ciarán was a deeply traumatic event for everyone because he was so young, and everyone adored him so. Carmella was never the same after losing her twin, and I think she clung to Padraic, kept close to him in her grief - not because she didn’t adore her other siblings but because, again, Pads was her father figure, her protector. It devastated the whole family when she died, but it destroyed Padraic. She trusted him, and in his mind, he could have kept her safe, kept Death from claiming her…

Rod was the most recent death in the family, and losing him felt like such a slap in the face after everything the family endured, all the loved ones taken from them. He was a genius like Pads when it came to electrical engineering and power, but I see him as someone who got along with everyone, able to find something in common with whoever he talked to. He and Lor would love to play darts and cards (Rod liked the science of it), and Sorcha and him would talk endlessly about the science of music, sound waves and whatnot. He was a warm, buzzy bundle of energy and enthusiasm, until that wretched cough came…
