My version of the wardrobe template! yay!! I had a LOT of fun doing this and feel like I could elaborate a bit more on each of those.

It's already linked up here, but here's once again a > link to the post.< Anyway! More about these designs below!

So first, for WKX's template! - Chapter 2: Grey robes I had already made my design of those for the full TYK lineup I made a while back. I really, really like those, and took inspiration from some of the robes SHL!WKX wears in the show for the shapes. - Chapter 69: dark robes with dark red belt I expected to like that style for him, but not that much! I had seen a tutorial on how asymetrical hanfus were worn by archers in the past and that inspired me, purely on a fashion level of course. I like how intimidating he looks with those and enjoy the touches of blue in the inner layer of the robes. - Chapter 75: dark red robes The GVM robes! which I also designed a while back when researching for the illustrations of the Mt Fengya battle scenes that I wanted to make. I reworked them just a little bit and got rid of some details that I didn't like anymore. I tremendously pleated skirts for WKX so I went at it once again. I also used shifts in hues to make it look like it could have been drenched in blood. - Extra 5: deep red robes For the reminder (since apparently some people are not aware of extra 5's existance), this extra is set 5 years post-canon. I wanted WKX to wear something that looked comfortable for traveling but also practical and fashionable. The teal jacket is of course another nod at SHL since the red and teal combo was an absolute banger. Let's say I didn't want WKX to just sport an all-red look. Furthermore, the teal really works to adorn the red hues. - My personal favourite I actually don't really know whether those are my actual personal favourites, but I've come to LOVE WKX dressed in red and white thanks to @kwehxing's designs. I think it really suits him and on top of that it avoids the question "is this Hua Cheng" LMAO--okay jokes aside, I combined most of the shapes that I really like for WKX (wider shoulders, wide sleeves, and long robes with pleated inner robes) and I find him very elegant like this. Now, for ZZS! - Chapter 1: sapphire blue scholar robes Those had already been designed before as well! They're my go to generic TC!ZZS robes, haha. I was a bit extra with the blue colour here, but oh well. I'm quite obsessed with the silver brocade cynching his waist, haha. - Chapter 2: stolen farmer robes A classic as well as far as I'm concerned--of course, inspired by his hobo fit in SHL because it was quite efficient. I'm forever fond of my scruffy hobo!Xu and his toes poking from his sandals. - Chapter 18: luxurious robes from the Gao family Those were a new design! Which I had a lot of fun coming up with. Putting ZZS in a different colour scheme was also really nice. For those who don't remember, ZZS feels quite ridiculous when he sees himself in a mirror wearing those fancy robes while being so emaciated and still sporting his hobo mask. I wanted to give this "out of place" feeling; and also work on a very "wuxia" style for the robes, since this is jianghu and they were provided by Gao Chong. - Extra 5: black robes I'm incredibly fond of this design. I worked quite a bit on it, since I wasn't sure of where I wanted to go. My main guidelines were: practical and cool. I really like ZZS having a lot of room to move so ideally not too much fabric in the way, and I think he also needs arm braces to be rid of annoying sleeves. Of course, him looking much healthier and having a dynamic ponytail really works to "complete the look", and I find that he looks really cool there haha. - My personal favourite This one has been refined over the months, but it's definitely, overall, my favourite look for him in terms of shapes and construction. I like that the robes are short, I like the more fashionable jacket. I'm especially into the "pants tucked into the boots" silhouette, as well as the little ribbons keeping them tight around the ankles. I'd say that this leg shape + short robes + a bun (or sometimes a ponytail) is THE ZZS design combo for me, haha. It looks practical and fun and adventurous, just how I like it.

To conclude the whole post, I had more fun doing this than I even expected, and needless to say that I'm very excited to see other versions of them following this template. It was a good opportunity to try and project what the characters look like throughout the book, and a fun design exercise as well. I actually don't really like doing character design usually, but for characters I'm obsessed with, it's of course a much nicer experience. Anyway, thank you for reading!

Hello there

I read your chubby gf hc for zb1 it was soo cute . I was wondering if you could do the same for txt where the reader is a sub 🤔 🙃 😅.

I feel like we chubby girls get masculinized so much here on tumblr fics . its soo hard to feel pretty and wanting someone to tc of you :(( I msoory idk why I was ranting but yeah

𐙚 anon, my page forever will be chubby reader safe as i’m a chubby girl myself, never be sorry.

꒰ warning! ꒱ pussy eating, strength kink, mentions of breeding, no implications of using condoms, dom!txt, pure smut + fluff, mentions of insecurities, sub!reader, squirting

wc 1960⠀ m. list ⠀⠀⠀⠀ like/reblog/request!

Soobin comes home after work and he’s missed you so badly, making a beeline to your shared bedroom. He engulfs you in a hug the moment he sees you, earning both a giggle and kiss from you, his chin tucked into your shoulder as he watches you do your makeup. Soobin will tell you that you don’t need it, scowling when you bring up your double chin. He couldn’t ever care about that which he makes you well aware of. Soon, he gets tired of you belittling yourself to him, twirling your chair around and pushing it backwards until it hits up against the vanity, knocking a few items off it. You watch in anticipation as he drops to his knees, bottom lip tucked between your teeth in anticipation. His fingers are hiking your skirt up, letting the fabric bunch up at your tummy, pressing your plush thighs together in embarrassment. Feeling too seen. “Don’t hide from me,” Soobin demands, moving you down the slightest before ripping your legs apart far and long enough to stuff his head in between. The way in he laps his tongue in and out of your folds makes your head dizzy, fingers curled around the armrests trying to keep yourself grounded as he abused your clit vigorously. It’s hard to focus with your boyfriend's plump lips working you to an orgasm, his voice deep as he calls you beautiful, all his, dipping his fingers into your arousal whilst you clench around them. Soobin is so focused on making you cum, finally tipping you over the edge, riding his face throughout your high. When he pulls away from your thighs that was pinning him down just moments ago, you go to apologize but his flushed face and pussy drunk expression (god, it shouldn’t be so hot to see his chin drenched) you can’t bring yourself to. He simply loves you so much and it’s so gentle and loving.

Yeonjun loves doggy. Specifically, he loves doggy whilst having you face a mirror, seeing yourself take every inch of him with ease. He wraps your hair around his hand, or secures you by the back of your neck with a hand, strong thrusts that make your eyes roll up with each connection. Yeonjun is equally sweet as he is rough, whispering praises while calling you degrading names, teasing you for clenching around him and getting wetter as your response. Not that you can help it any! Who wouldn’t get wet from their always loving, tooth rotting sweet boyfriend calling them his whore as he fucked into them? Exactly. He wraps an arm around your throat to bring you up closer to his chest, earning a surprised moan from you, sticking two of his long fingers into your mouth. You suck on them earnestly as he brings his free hand down to rub your clit in pace of his dick pushing into you. It’s maddening to say the least, allowing your head to barely move back far enough to rest on his shoulder, clenching around him to stop yourself from cumming. Your efforts aren’t enough unfortunately as Yeonjun removes his fingers from your mouth using your own saliva to torment your nipples. His actions are rough, rolling and tugging the already sensitive buds betweenst his fingers. “Please, please please.” You begged, your eyes barely being able to stay open to watch the scene unfold in front of you from the mirror's reflection, your face red. Yeonjun’s thrusts are deep, growing from calculated to messy as he reaches closer to his orgasm, your thighs equally as red as your face. The orgasm growing in you was coming fast, all but basically begging for him to let you cum, Yeonjun calling you his impatient, dick loving, whore. The edge in his voice makes you groan, eyes shooting open wide as he throws you back against the mattress, your chin digging into the material as he pulls out and slams back into you. Yeongjun was being more than rough now, his thrusts filling out perfectly, crying as he held you messily by the hair. “Fuck!” Yeongjun swears loudly, his last thrust into you being enough for him to cum, your body responding almost immediately with your own, shaking as you let your face fall flat against the bed, panting loudly to catch your breath. Yeongjun shakily pulls out, rolling to his side and wrapping an arm snuggled around your waist. “I love you, beautiful.” He says as he plants kisses against your back, reminding him that you loved him more, Yeongjun turning you over to cover you in kisses demanding he loves you much more.

Taehyun is unable and unwilling to hide his strength kink with you, he loves picking you up and kissing your face as you whine about being “too heavy for him.” He’ll tell you that a real man doesn’t care about size and he loves you infinitely. Taehyun begs for you to ride him, loving the way you put your full weight on him so you can feel every inch of his cock. At first he will have to guide you, coaxing you to stop hovering, grabbing your plush thighs and slamming you down until they meet flush with his. His hands travel up from your thighs past your hips until they cup each breast, the extra fat spilling over his fingers. It’s erotic the way Taehyun is kneading your chest while practically fucking up into you, calling you his, his pretty baby. You forget to be insecure with Taehyun, mind stuck in the fuzziness of your high as he lifts your hips up. Whining at the loss of him, he quickly tells you not to worry, feeling him shuffle around beneath you. Gasping when you feel his hot breath fan over your wet pussy, you shake your head telling him you’ll crush him, earning a growl from him. He doesn’t hesitate to grab your ass, pushing you into place so his tongue laps at your aroused clit, bringing you down to no longer hover over his face. Taehyun’s grip is firm, his moans getting lost in the wet squelches of your arousal, your fingers curled deliberately in his hair. He can’t help but love being drowned and suffocated by your pussy.

Beomgyu is a service top at heart. He loves being able to not only provide for you but ensure that you never feel the need to put in any of the work. You wrap your fingers around his beautiful locks, yanking his head up, his lips disconnecting from your clit with a wet pop! He lets his fingers run up and back down the slit of your pussy feeling how drenched you already became from him barely eating you out, a hot blush covering your skin in warmth. “Too sensitive,” you breathlessly whined, your eyes wet and wide. Beomgyu laughs, sending shivers down the entirety of your body, curling your toes at the noise. “You taste so good,” Beomgyu said before leaning back down down to swipe his tongue alongside your slit, rolling it around your erected bud, giving it a subtle flick. He takes his time with foreplay leaving you at the edge of cumming before slowly sinking into you, your eyes fluttering before rolling back. Catching you into a heated kiss, you cup the side of Beomgyu’s face, groaning softly as he takes your bottom lip in between his teeth. Giving it a small tug before dropping it to continue the kiss, your shaky hand drags down his arm, thighs shaking from his continuous thrusts up into you. Your mind goes blank, the red hot iron feeling in your abdomen unraveling itself as you cum around Beomgyu, your nails dug deep into the soft flesh of his arms. Beomgyu groans loudly in pain and pleasure mixed, filling out the condom as he brings his desperate thrusts to dragged out movements. He’s perfect in the way he can’t help but clean you up with his tongue, restarting the entire process over.

Kai is extremely possessive. If it’s a hand on your lower back, or decorating your skin in beautiful hickies, he's doing so. With this, Kai hates when people flirt with you, he knows you’re insanely attractive but it still irks him when it’s obvious the two of you are together, and someone still tries to make a move on you. You never of course entertain the stranger's request as that’s breaking boundaries within your relationship, but it doesn’t stop Kai from taking you back to the apartment and making sure you’re his. That you feel like his. He’s quick to hike up the material of your dress, you giggling at him for being impatient, Kai grunting in response. The two of you have safe words so you know despite his headspace he’d always respect them, chewing on your bottom lip as his fingers find the band to your thong. “Fuck me.” Kai moans deep in his throat at the sight, a blush decorating your cheeks as you feel a sudden embarrassment settle in. You knew having a big pussy meant the fabric didn’t cover everything making you feel suddenly insecure going to close your thighs together, Kai quickly catching on and securing himself so that you weren’t able to. He looks up at you and his expression is almost enough to make you fall to your knees. No words have to be said to know exactly what he was thinking, he was going to devour you in every sense. His fingers swiftly find refuge past your folds, your head tilted to the side as he rhythmically moves them finding your sweet spot. Kai being a musical prodigy most definitely had its perks, this being one of them, moans dripping from your lips as you begged him to give you more. He’s in no mood to tease and edge you like he usually does, repositioning you so your chest is flush against the bedroom door. Sitting behind you on his knees, he sits up so that his tongue connects deliciously to your folds, using two hands to hold you open as he delved his tongue in. There’s little to no resistance, something that embarrasses you, something that leaves Kai leaking in his jeans. It doesn’t take long for Kai to let his tongue work you whilst using a now free hand to rub your clit in sloppy figure eights, your legs becoming shakier and unstable by the minute. You reach back to grab a fistful of his hair, whining for him to slow down, your body shaking as if it was electrified. However, Kai doesn’t slow down, removing his tongue leaving a kiss against your ass before with no notice, slips two fingers easily into your drenched hole. Working both your pussy and clit, you’re reduced to nothing but moans and lewd noises that fill out the entirety of the small apartment, groaning as your legs repeatedly try to give out from underneath you. A sudden sensation of having to use the bathroom hits you, begging Kai to stop so you can go, trembling like a leaf. He ignores your pleads, not yet using your safe word with him, tears welling up in the corners of your eyes. Your vision turns white as a cried out moan rips from your throat, squirting around Kai’s fingers, his fingers rubbing your clit becoming harder to control due to you being soaked. Exhaustion hits you, trembling as Kai stands up to support you with his weight, pressing gentle kisses against your sweaty skin. It’s hard to hear him but you recognize them as praises, allowing yourself to be moved as he carries you to the bed, whining as he continues to play with your beautifully plush body.

It’s a full house, bustling along, a wedding well underway.

“Red.” I hold up a bridesmaid’s dress, in black from the rack my mother pushed me towards.

“Black?” Red lifts a brow at me.

“It’ll be slimming for Gwen.” I grin at her.

Gwen shoves dresses to one side, glaring at me. Wanda and I laugh.

“Fuck you, bitches.”

“We love you.” I laugh, stepping between the legs of the rack, climbing over to her. Wanda follows, Gwen laughs. My hand lands on her small belly she’s growing. “And we love you.” I coo at her belly.

“Kiss ass.” Gwen snorts, Wanda joins in, cooing at our niece or nephew.

“Inherit aunties, right hook.” I whisper.

“Y/N!” Gwen laughs hard.

“Now that would bless by Satan.” We look over to see Clint joining us.

“Packman?” I lift a brow at him. “Joining us for some wedding planning?” Grinning at him.

He tucks his hands into the pockets of his jeans. Nodding his head slowly. “I was hoping to talk to you, boss.” He shrugs a shoulder, a small smirk on his lips.

Glancing at the girls, they nod.

“We’ll go with the black.” Wanda nods. Gwen agrees with a nod, both moving to leave us.

“Now what could have you coming over here during wedding planning?” Smirking at him as we move to sit on the stairs.

He chuckles softly. “I’d say this is your last chance to trade up.” I laugh, bumping my shoulder into him.

“Thought you were just going to be my fantasy?” I grin at him.

He nods slowly.

“Mmm. I see.” I nod slowly, looking away from Clint, watching the movements of the house. People running, fabrics, planners, glasses, the girls, my mother, Frankie and TC all hurrying about.

“See what?” He swallows.

“You won’t be my fantasy anymore. I’m not your type.” I smile, looking over at him.

He scratches the back of his head. “Nah I’ll always have this love for you.” He sighs.

“Love for me like a sister.” Smiling at him.

He sighs. “Yeah, like the baby sister I didn’t ask for, ever. Didn’t really want. But got anyways.” We laugh.

“I didn’t sign up for two more brothers, you know.” I nudge him in the shoulder with my own.

“You know I’d kill someone over you?” He sighs, smiling at me.

Laughing, I nod. “Think Bucky beat you to that.”

“I’d save you a thousand times over, trade places with your bruised and broken body, to protect you. You know that?” He glances over at me.

“I never said thank you, Packman. For saving me.” I whisper softly.

“Don’t ever do that to me again.” He whispers.

Glancing over at him, I smirk.

He sighs, shaking his head.

“No promises. I’m a wild card.” Winking at him, making him laugh.

“No shit.” He scraps his hand over his mouth.

We sat there in silence for a moment.

“What do you need from me?” I ask quietly.

He smiles at me. “Don’t know why I thought I was going to have to explain anything to you.”

“I know you, Packman.” Shrugging a shoulder.

“Tell me you approve?” There’s a plead in his pretty storm blue eyes.

Nodding slowly. “We both know you don’t need my approval.”

“I do.”

“Packman,”

“I need it. I need your approval. I need to know you agree, think it’s a good match.” He swallows.

“It’ll be a national sad day when you announce it.” Smirking at him.

He softly laughs. “As Satan, as my baby sister, the reason we Saintz do what we do. As queen, taking over the table, boss ass bitch, I need to know it’s right.” Tipping his head he watches me.

“Well you didn’t have to force her to fall in line or worry who you Saintz are.” I laugh, Clint hangs his head, chuckling. “So she’s got that going for her. A little normal, maybe boring, but we can help with that.” I grin at him.

“That girl gang is going to be something out of nightmares.” He shakes his head.

“Bet on it, Packman.” I grin.

“I always bet on you, Sweets.” We grin at each other.

“Okay.” I nod.

He lifts a brow. “Okay?”

“She cheats or looks at another dude and I’m going to bless her.” Cutting my eyes to him. He grins at me.

“With your right hook?”

“And my knee.” Shrugging.

He grins, nodding. “Satan combo.”

“I approve, Packman.”

“Think the table will?” He wonders. “They weren’t keen on us bidding on you.”

Leaning back for a moment, I stood suddenly. “Come on, Packman.”

He stands following me. Passing TC I tip my head indicating for him to follow.

Knocking on the door, I push it open.

“Little Miss?” My father looks up at me stepping in. “Boys.” He nods to the two following me in.

“I need you to call a meeting.” I rest on the arm of a chair.

He looks from me to them. “Any reason?"

“Packman is bidding on Bobbi.” I explain.

“Congrats Barton.” He smiles.

“Thank you, Sir.” Clint nods.

“And you want to make sure it gets approved.” My father looks to me.

Shrugging, I tuck a foot up on the seat, my hands on my knees. “I’m putting my weight behind it, daddy. Bobbi helped save me that night, with Clint.” I nod.

My father swallows hard, leaning back in his chair. “And you want this to be your first movement at the table?”

“My life, for their happiness. I’m sure.”

My father locks eyes with Clint, before nodding.

“I’ll make the call, eight tonight.” He nods, grabbing his phone.

“We’ll be there.” I nod, standing.

“Miss,” my dad calls when I get to the door, looking back to him “you’ll be the first woman at the table, ever.” He swallows hard. A flicker of fear in his eyes.

Lifting my chin “I know daddy, it’s a good thing you helped birth Satan. Some old men don’t scare me. I fight boys, and my father will set anyone afire.” I smirk at him.

“Your soon to be husband kills people for you.” TC smirks.

“Imagine, what my brothers would do.” I smirk, shrugging.

“We’d burn the town down, Sweets. Blood on our hands for you is an easy choice.” Clint chuckles.

Looking at my father, I smile softly at him. “They tried to cut me down, I survived. That was their first mistake daddy.” My father smiles softly, nodding.

I leave the office, TC and Clint following.

[blues-sues]

It had been a year.

Though part of her suspected it had been longer. It felt like an eternity.

Sometimes she felt like the only peace she could truly find anymore were these night walks with her son.

He'd been born a few months before it happened. Yet he didn't understand a thing, of course. He was merely a child.

One who tugged now on her wrist, with a distressed whine as he looks over his shoulder, brows furrowed.

"Stain? What's wrong?" She turns her head to look down at him in concern. She knew her son was extremely prone to having sudden rushes of anxiety. She'd hoped the soothe bell around his neck would improve it, but it had only lessened a small amount.

"Scarf!" Once the word escaped him, Pigment had never turned as fast. Looking back on it, she's not sure why. Perhaps part of her hoped her father remained out there. But she knew the answer all too well.

It had been a year.

Fate was a despicable thing, taking her father. She'd thought maybe she'd stop having hope that he'd come back. She knew he was gone. And she knew she wouldn't see anything as she turned around.

"Stain, there's nothing there. You needn't worry." She tries to comfort him but the young Mewtwo doesn't take his eyes off the tree. Her frown depends.

She gives his hand a gentle squeeze, but he still doesn't avert his gaze, instead beginning to wave one of his arms, his legs beginning to bounce as he rocked on his feet. "There! There!" He squeaked out, scrambling to hide behind her hip. Pigment breathes out.

"I'll check, okay? Just to be sure." She offers. Stain looks up at her, his eyes wide before his chin lowers in the tiny symbol of a nod. Releasing his hand lightly, she glides herself closer to the tree, peering her head around it.

"I told you, nothing's there."

And nothing was. She wasn't sure why he'd been so panicked. He's rather skittish, but still, not enough to be startled by well..air. She decides to come to the conclusion that perhaps he saw some sort of other 'mon on its night route.

"Ma! Saw Scarf!" He's waving both hands now, his fur spiked as he looks around with nervous glances. A strange detail to keep bringing up. Her heart sinks as her own mind recalls a scarf, her hand drifting up to clasp at the bandana over her shoulders.

A swift shake of her head as she leans down and lifts Stain into her arms, tucking his head against her chest.

"It's alright. I'll protect you."

And so, a hum emerges from her. A tune that once it reaches Stain, it causes his eyelids to flutter downwards, a tiny yawn escaping him as his trembling slowly starts to cease.

Perhaps she should've checked behind the tree twice.

A shadow looms there now, his eyes narrowed as his fingers grip the fabric he wears. The blue was now much darker. His fingers now claws.

He'd changed after death, he'd noticed. So had the world, it appeared. After all, it had been a year.

How foolish of he to think it could all stay the same.

_______

End.

Woop that was a long one. I came up with this during school.

I'd had the general idea for a while after seeing some of Tc's asks about what if Scarfy died and decided to do a little something.

My backgrounds aren't top tier but the flowers in the front are Forget-me-nots.

For clarification: this isn't supposed to be bashing on these characters for not recovering in a year after Scarfy's death. It's meant to show that grief lasts a long time. And sometimes it takes time to completely settle. Pigment is still sort of coming to terms with it, part of her struggling to believe he's truly gone.

These characters belong to @xxtc-96xx !!

Also, in this, I made the choice that after a Pokemon dies, they become y'know a ghost. Or in Scarfy's case, a ghost fusion. He became a Haunter fusion since Pig technically has Gengar blood and I'm pretty sure Stains would-be fusion is a Gastly.

I might do more doodles and such about this, but here's the first! I genuinely really like this idea and may or may not have gotten some inspiration from Ghosting by Mother Mother.

Neglected Decepticon Heir AU - One-shot: The Birth of Ironshard

Warning: English is not my first language so sorry if it’s a bit confusing! ^^’

Here we go with a one-shot from my TFG1 AU: Neglected Decepticon Heir AU! ^^

This one-shot will be about Ironshard's creation and how he ended up in Starscream's and Soundwave's care!

If you had any question regarding the AU don’t hesitate to ask! ^^

And if you want to use this AU go ahead, just don’t forget to tag and credite me please! ^^

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

Cybertron; Iacon; Decepticons's headquarters:

Starscream was standing in the throne room alongside Shockwave, a scold on his face.

The whole Decepticon army was present on Megatron's order for an “important announcement”.

This just made the SIC snort in disdain, he bet the fool came up with another stupid plan against the Autobots which will fail.

How pathetic! If Starscream was the Decepticons’s leader they would have won this blasted war long ago! 

He was keeping on rambling in his thoughts until Megatron finally appeared with Soundwave, to the Seeker’s confusion the Decepticon tyrant was holding something small wrapped in a purple fabric. 

Megatron walked toward his throne and turned around to stand face to face with his army before speaking in a booming and authoritarian voice.

“-Decepticons! Today a new step to our future victory against the Autobots has been made! With a few of our mechs I managed to infiltrate the depths of Cybertron to Vector Sigma right under those blasted Autobots’s noses and to bring to this world one important advantage to our cause which will ensure our enemies’s inevitable downfall!”

Blah blah blah! How many times Starscream had heard Megatron say that?

For all his great eloquence and strength, the old fool still had to give concrete results!

“-And so Decepticons! I present to you all the heir to the Decepticons’s throne!”

…

Wait what?

Starscream could only stare in shock with wide eyes as Megatron unwrapped the fabric revealing a little Sparkling in a black and purple armor, staring at the whole room with big red confused optics.

“-Behold Ironshard! The future leader of the Decepticons!”

WHAT?!

—-----------------------------------

“-A SPARKLING?! THIS SON OF A GLITCH CREATED A SPARKLING WHILE WE ARE IN A WAR AND STRUGGLING WITH ENERGON RESSOURCES? WHAT WAS HE THINKING?”

To say that Starscream was angry was an understatement.

Megatron could have done so many things during his infiltration mission to Vector Sigma: he could have created more soldiers, attacking and taking over Vector Sygma from the inside and gaining a big advantage over the Autobots or even steal the Allspark which was within Vector Sigma.

But noooooooo! Instead Megatron decided to pick the most wasteful option and by connecting his spark directly with Vector Sygma had created a Sparkling!

A Sparkling! A fragging Sparkling! Another mouth to feed when energon ressources aren’t high!

“-Starscream, we heard you ranting about it the 10 first times! And honestly, it’s becoming annoying!”

“-Oh don’t waste your vocal processor TC! You and I know dear Screamer is only pissed because now there’s a “Megatron Jr” around his chances to be “the new Decepticons’s leader” are now thinner!”

Starscream throwed a dark glare at his trinemates.

Thundercracker looked very annoyed while Skywarp was grinning at him as if his trineleader’s outburst was the funniest thing existing.

As much as he wanted to snap back, the Decepticon SIC knew that Skywarp wasn’t wrong.

For all his barking about potential resources problems, Starscream’s anger was actually about Megatron’s spawn’s own existence, or rather about the meaning of the spawn’s existence.

For a long time he planned and plotted to get rid of Megatron and take his rightful place as the leader of the Decepticons but now an official “heir” existing made his plans to be leader harder.

Why in Primus’s name does the universe always seem out to get him?

A noise from his com broke Starscream from his reflection and the seeker quickly picked up.

“-What is it?” He asked, annoyed.

“-Starscream: must come to Megatron’s quarters immediately: Megatron’s orders!” Soundwave’s robotic voice resonated through the com.

“-Very well! Tell “Lord Megatron” that I’ll be here soon!” Starscream answering with a tone drowning in sarcasm.

The seeker quickly closed his com and begin to walk through the door when he heard Skywarp laughing behind him.

“-Good luck Screamer! Don’t get too much on Megatron’s nerves!”

Starscream just sighed, and he was sure he also heard Thundercracker sighing at the same time, at his trinemate’s behavior before keeping walking toward Megatron’s quarters.

Whatever the old fool could have wanted with him, it couldn’t be any worse than everything happening today!

—-----------------------------------

“-YOU WANT ME TO WHAT?!”

He took back what he said earlier: it was worse!

“-You hear me right!” Megatron stated.”My heir needs to be taken care of and taught the Deceptions way to become a worthy leader in the future! But I have a war to win, Autobots to crush! I have no time for such trivial matters! That’s why you and Soundwave will take care of Ironshard and make sure he is properly educated!” 

He couldn't be serious? Him? Starscream? Taking care of a Sparkling?

It was outrageous!

“-Understood. Task accepted.” Soundwave stated in his emotionless synthetic voice.

“-Excellent!” Megatron replied, satisfied. ”Make sure he becomes a warrior worthy of the name! Make him strong! Ruthless! A worthy heir to the Decepticon cause and to my throne! I leave the details to you!”

“-Lord Megatron you can’t be serious?” Starscream whined.”I’m the second in command, I have way more important duties to do! I don’t have time to take care of a Sparkling!”

“-Are you refusing a direct order, Starscream?” Megatron asked.

“-No, no! Of course not.” The seeker quickly said.”I’m just saying that I don’t think it would be reasonable or even practical for me to raise your heir while being the second in command and the air force commander at the same time!”

“-And I don’t care about what your opinion is! You will raise my heir into a perfect Decepticon and that final!” Megatron told with a point of irritation in his voice.

“-But Megatron this is ridiculo- Ack!”

Megatron suddenly grabbed Starscream’s throat in a firm grip, the tyrant looking now angry.

“-I think I haven't been clear Starscream: I ORDER you and Soundwave to take care of MY HEIR and to ensure his education to teach him the Deception way to make him worthy of being the future Decepticons leader and unless you want a reminder of who give the orders in this army, you will do as I command!”

He then squeezed his grip making the Seeker agonize in pain.

“-Am I being clear?”

“-Y-yes… Cr-crystal clear…” Starscream articulated with difficulty.

Satisfied with the answer Megatron dropped Starscream on the floor.

“-Good! Now leave! I have a war to win and you and Soundwave have an heir to look after!”

“-... Yes, “Lord Megatron”!” The SIC said, his voice full of venom while rubbing his sore throat before leaving with Soundwave.

—-----------------------------------

Starscream’s mood was sour when he and Soundwave, with Laserbeak on Soundwave’s shoulder, got to Ironshard's “nursery”, well, if you could call it a nursery.

The room, bathing in darkness with only a little light barely illuminating the center of the room, was sparsely decorated, with only a makeshift crib and playpen.

The sound of machinery could be heard in the background in a constant “hum” and the air thick with the strong smell of oil.

Not really a decent room for a Sparkling’s nursery, then again, with the war going on and the energon ressources problems they were facing, the Decepticons didn’t had good accommodations in a long time. So, it was not surprising that this wouldn’t be any different for a Sparkling’s room.

Said Sparkling was in the “crib” looking at the two adult Cybertronians with big round curious red optics.

The Sparkling, Ironshard Starscream recalled, in Megatron's hand looked tiny, but now Starscream could look at him closer the Sparkling seemed bigger than the few Sparklings he had seen in Vos back on Cybertron before the war.

Then again, considering who his creator was, Starscream can guess it was pretty normal for a grounder Sparkling to be bigger than a Seekerling of the same age.

Still, this was not changing the ridiculousness of the situation!

“-This is preposterous! I’m the Decepticons SIC and air commander! I should be planning for the next battle against the Autobots, not be some kind of… of glorified nanny for a scraplet!”

“-Megatron’s order: non-negotiable!; Ironshard: heir of Megatron and future of the Decepticons!; Ironshard's upbringing: primordial for the cause!”

The Seeker sneered at the TIC with scorn.

Of course Soundwave would defend Megatron's orders and his “little project”, what expecting else from one of Megatron's favorites lapdogs?

A series of clicks and chirps get his attention and Starscream looks down to see Ironshard looking at him and doing a “pick me up” motion.

“-Oh no! No no no no! Nope! Absolutely not! If you think for one moment that I will indulge you with cuddles you’re wrong!” 

The Sparkling only insisted harder, he even began to whine in a tone which looked like a demand.

Soundwave made a disapproving sound as if it was to criticize Starscream’s behavior.

“-Don’t start with me Soundwave! We have been ordered to take care of him and educate him to become “a Decepticon worthy of the name” not to coddle him and being all mushy-mushy, we are not bleeding-spark Autobots!-”

“-”Starscream! Soundwave! The Sparkling is climbing the crib!” Laserbeak’s alarmed screams startled them both.

They quickly turned their heads, their optics went wide in alarm at the sight of Ironshard having climbed the crib…

And begin to dangerously tumble.

Starscream and Soundwave both let out a panicked scream and the Seeker quickly throws himself to catch the Sparkling before he could fall.

In a panic frenzy, Starscream examined the Sparkling from head to toe for any injuries and loudly sighed in relief once he was sure Ironshard was fine.

He heard behind him Soundwave letting out a relieved sigh and Starscream then turned back his attention toward a bubbling Ironshard with an angry scowl on his face.

“-WHAT THE FRAG WAS THAT YOU LITTLE GLITCH?! YOU COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY HURT AND THEN MEGATRON WOULD HAVE SCRAP ME TO DEATH FOR THAT! SERIOUSLY DID YOUR CREATOR FRAGGED UP SOMETHING DURING YOUR CREATION AND MADE YOU-”

The little Sparkling, completely oblivious of the Seeker’s anger, took profit from Starscream having brought him closer to him to give him a hug and let out happy content chirps which made Starscream stop dead his angry diatribe to look at the Sparkling for a few seconds realizing something in a very big confusion.

Did… Did the little scraplet voluntarily climb the crib to push him to hold him in his servos so he could cuddle him? 

Oh that cunning little!- 

The seeker let out a big frustrated, tired sigh.

“-Online for not even a solar cycle and you're already as stubborn as your sire!” 

The Sparkling only cooed and kept snuggling against the seeker’s platting.

“-Query: beginning of operation: Sparkling caretaking?” Soundwave interrupted his thoughts.

The Seeker started at the TIC before sighing and narrowed his optics at him.

“-Very well! But let’s be clear, Soundwave! If we’re to raise him, we’re going to do it on my terms so he will not become some foolish brute like his creator! So like this when I’ll be the Deceptions leader he will!-” Starscream paused for a few seconds, thinking of what he just before his faceplates morphed in realization, his optics staring at the Sparkling.

Yes, of course! Why didn’t he think about this earlier?

He is going to raise  the heir of the Decepticons’s throne, the future of the cause, a blank canvas he can shape into his vision!

Well, sure Soundwave will participate in the upbringing but the main thing here is a Megatron will have no part in it!

He will have no say, no influence, not even a little input, the old fool preferring focusing on the war rather than educating his own heir into becoming a Decepticon leader, leaving to Starscream total free reign to raise the scraplet-no! Ironshard how he wants and turning Megatron’s so-called legacy into his own!

And when Starscream will finally dethrone Megatron and take his rightful place as the Decepticons leader, he will then make Ironshard HIS heir and secure HIS legitimacy and legacy!

Yes! YES! THAT WAS IT!

With this plan, he will crush Megatron in every way possible! This will be his greatest victory against him!

It was perfect!

A sly smile appeared on Starscream’s face, he then cradled Ironshard in his arms, making sure the Sparkling was comfortably settled.

“-Well little one, looks like I’m going to be stuck with you! So, let's see what we can make of you, shall we?” He said as he tickled Ironshard’s chin with one of his digits.

The Sparkling giggled and playfully grabbed the digit, an action which made Starscream’s expression slightly soften before he quickly recomposed himself.

“-Hum-hum… Well let’s begin with those lessons! Listen closely, Ironshard. Lesson number 1: Always watch your back, especially around your dear old sire!”

Soundwave just sighed at the scene, Laserback on his shoulder just started at the Seeker with annoyed optics.

This co-mentorship is not going to be easy.

Courtesan au

Yesss Skywarp being not only getting closer to Thundercracker and Starscream but helping them getting closer to each other!!! It's almost like he's their missing piece. But of course they're not going to trine him. Yes that's what the royal trine want but Starscream and Thundercracker haven't known him for that long, and it would be unfair to Skywarp who didn't even want to be there in the first place. No, Thundercracker and Starcream haven't even considered trining Skywarp

The three of them get along swimmingly, and really are a wonderful little trio. The first time Starscream's garden produces real, proper buds, he gifts one to each of them. A blue crystal rose for Thundercracker, and a violet crystal pansy for Skywarp. TC is over the moon, and he's a total mess: his face is so hot and he starts stammering, tripping over his words. It's the first present his fiance has ever given him, and crystal roses have such a tender, sweet meaning in the extinct flower language. He goes home at the end of the day cradling it gently in his servos, gazing at it with the softest optics and warmest smile. Skywarp is significantly more collected: he's gotten a wide array of gifts over the course of his time as a courtesan, fancy jewels and the finest energon and expensive off world fabrics, but never something quite as unique as a crystal blossom.

It's honestly an incredibly romantic gesture 🤭

But you're right, none of them have trining in mind. Not at first. Skywarp is just there as their bodyguard to ward off the other noble houses. Starscream brought him in to buy himself and Thundercracker some breathing room. Nothing more.

I think, when feelings start to inevitably rise, there's a bunch of guilt. Skywarp made it clear he wants no part of any nobility's trine bond, at all, for any reason. He doesn't want them. He makes their days brighter and has such fantastic ideas, he listens so well and it's so easy to feel comfortable with him... but he's just doing his job. That's what courtesans do: they entertain, they make connections, they talk and dance and perform. And he's performing his duties perfectly, how can Starscream or Thundercracker foist more onto him? And reversely, Skywarp has watched and observed them for months and months now, he's seen the way all of high society's eligible bachelors and bachelorettes throw themselves at the two of them. In their prissy, classy way, of course, but it's impossible to miss the way Star and TC recoil every time. They're not in the market for a third right now, that's the whole reason Skywarp is here. To keep others from being too forward and pushy. The crown prince and his fiance don't want him, because they don't want anybody.

It's probably Thundercracker that breaks first. Life has been a whirlwind since Skywarp came to them, and before he knew it his spark had melted and he'd found true joy in their companionship. He went from numbly tolerating his time at the palace to eagerly looking forward to it, had evolved from courteous, picture-perfect bowing when greeting Starscream to actually touching his fiance's arm, then grabbing it, then hugging him. His spark had never beat for anything other than his stories before, but now it lifts and feels so light in his chassis when he sees the prince's face. He loves to hear Starscream talk, loves to tell his fiance about the latest storyline plot he's working on. Whenever Starscream gives him flowers he feels like he might burst from the sheer excitement. He's come to adore every day he spends in the palace at his side, and it can only be love, right? He's never been in love before, and it feels so good.

And he also feels that warm, gooey feeling about Skywarp. Is it any wonder? He's the one who helped him discover his love for creative writing, he's the one who gave him a sliver of light that blossomed into a full sunny sky in a previously dark, unfeeling world. He has such a bright smile and kind, mischievous spark. He reads each of Thundercracker's projects and gives his honest opinions, and always regards him with friendly enthusiasm. He protects them from the touchy nobility, and on more than one occasion has announced their unplanned departure from social events that Thundercracker couldn't bear a moment longer. He's like their savior, a guardian angel if such a concept were to exist on Cybertron, and TC can't help but love him with all his spark just as he does Starscream.

But... Skywarp doesn't want any part of that. He doesn't want Thundercracker to love him, and does not under any circumstances want to be tied into a royal bonding. And that... it hurts. He's read many books about unrequited love but he never anticipated it would hurt so badly. The night he comes to the startling realization that he loves them, both of them, he spirals into a panicked despair. He can have Starscream and that's a wish that is all but guaranteed to come true, but Skywarp... no. He can't have Skywarp, they can't have Skywarp, they will never have Skywarp. Starscream had promised him that they would entertain no thoughts of marriage, and Thundercracker has ever intention to uphold that promise. Forcing him into a contract would earn them no love, only resentment and detestation. He resolves to lock his feelings away and never let them see the light of day, but it makes interactions with Skywarp so much harder. He fears that, if the courtesan were to find out, he'd get the wrong idea and flee from Vos forever. After all, if the prince's fiance fancies him, then surely a marriage contract would soon be stuffed dkwn his throat. He can't stand the thought of Skywarp leaving them, so instead preemptively pulls away.

After the realization, Thundercracker almost seems to regress. When he is next delivered to the palace, his face is gloomy and dark once more. His wings are low, his optics are dim. He greets them cordially, and doesn't look at Skywarp when greeting him. They're both concerned, and more than a week passes with the unshakeable cloud still looming over his helm. He tries to hold the purple seeker at arm's length, to beat back those warm feelings and internally commanding himself to stop. 'Don't torment yourself with this, it's impossible so stay away from him. Spare yourself the sparkache.'

Let us consult the text of origin together:

My thoughts under the cut, but you can just enjoy the video.

General observations:

Let us never forget Rouge's wings are pink here. In sa2 they were black, they have since been purple. I think it's possible she covers her wings in some kind of think fabric or latex to match her outfits and maybe protect her - but primarily for the matchy matchy

In the shiny toy-ish style of heroes, Omega looks incredible. He looks so much better than everyone else.

Team Dark take in turns to be the most determined; it genuinely feels to me like they all do want this. Nobody is just in it for the loyalty or ride.

Team Dark should get to fight Team Rose. I would love them to duke it out with the Girl Scout commander and his two most loyal members.

Opening Cutscene:

First let us appreciate: Rouge just broke in to Eggman's again. Iirc she inserts herself into SA2 basically the same way. Plot driving queen.

It is odd to me that Rouge had no idea what she was finding, but did know the code. This 'happening upon' Shadow has always seemed strange to me and I am suspicious of it. It seems to me they might have wanted her to be looking for him, but bottled it at the last chance. Especially because she doesn't seem to be working for GUN here, this is just very convenient.

Omega is legitimately scary when he's first introduced, with a lot of the hallmarks of classic horror monsters in this first sighting of him (the close ups, the prey-through-predators eyes shot, all the action shots to keep you confused, minimal speaking etc.. I have no statement on this, it's just neat.

It must be quite a traumatising thing to wake up to, but Shadow takes little time to react. I really like that he doesn't recognize his name when Rouge says it.

It is weird to me Rouge just sits in shock at being shot. Was she not expecting a trap? Perhaps she got hit in the head or something?

Omega's aiming just before Rouge splits them up is so funny. I said I wouldn't use screenshots so this post doesn't become too slow to load but look at this:

His hands just circle around wildly. Shadow is going straight for you. Either you're not aiming for him or you're not calibrated correctly my love.

Rouge's exhausted and shocked face is adorable and I love it so so so much. This is peak Rouge IMO

The fact we see Eggman's base trashed - loudly trashed - and he does nothing about it could be a first nod at his current predicament we see in the Chaotix story, but I may be reaching.

I love the start of the chorus as they're coming to an understanding. I love This Machine, maybe more than I love my boyfriend but not more than I love my cat. It's so up there though.

Rouge bounced Shadow off Imega when she scooped him over and he rebounds into a defensive stance. No notes just cute.

Shadow's eye roll as she makes them all put hands together. You just woke up how are you so sassy? Amazing. No notes.

The actual skipped conversation must have been quite short, since Shadow knows nothing and Omega is a new robot, but I hope it included Omega inteoducing himself at least a bit. They don't say his name in this cutscene, or Rouge's but the audience probably knows her. Its just odd to me because I feel like team sonic say eachothers name a lot, but my memory may be faulty.

Seaside Hill + Ocean Palace + Egg Hawk

"Immediate destruction if distracted." Omega fully threatens to kill them if they don't work hard enough. I am not complaining, but he is a scary boy and we should remember this.

We should have known this wasn't Eggman because he reacts to Omega (an obvious E series robot) and not Shadow (a literal living weapon he had had locked away that should not be walking around). But me personally was a dumb kid who was too bad at video games to get to play team darks story before I had to go home so here we are.

Grand Metropolis + Power Plant + TC

Rouge has the least reason to be targetting Eggman, but she is quite determined here. I would suppose it is on behalf of Shadow, since she doesn't know Omega that well to be heart broken for his plight. It's nice to see that she too expresses her sentiment by violence, something often reserved in fanon for Omega and arguably Shadow.

Further to the above: she starts a fight with Team Chaotix literally and only because she is in a fighty mood. They were fr walking away, minding their own business. I also think that Espio's assumption that they might have it in for the client is valid, since they've probably been jumped by enemies of clients before. Rouge is literally just on a warpath and mad at the world. Iconic of her.

Casino Park + Bingo Highway + Robot Carnival

I do wonder what Rouge was wondering. If she was wrong, perhaps? Or what the Chaotix were doing? She couldn't suspect they're working for Eggman, could she?

Omega works in metres because he is no fool

Shadow is actually very calm talking to Eggman here. It suggests that either Rouge has not filled him in on anything much about Eggman, and/or he wants to learn for himself and isn't taking her and Omega's hatred at face value. This may make him seem a bit dozy here, but I actually think it's a sign of how untrusting he is, and with good reason. I have often seen the take that Rouge should have told him what's going on, but I propose that it is possible she told him some, he didn't believe her easily, and so she stopped telling him before the crazier stuff, because he'd never believe that. A bit of a leap I know.

Rail Canyon + Bullet Station + Egg Albatross:

This is the first time I think Shadow seems really determined. I propose it's because Eggman snubbed and disregarded him, and that is literally a tortuable offense. Joking aside, it's nice to hear the change in his voice now he's more set on his target.

Rouge is less sure of herself now. Tbh, it's probably been a really stressful day for her. She may need a rest.

Shadow offering Omega his revenge instead of fighting him for it is a nice touch. What a good team player!

Omega's shaking fist at the fake Eggman gets me. I love it. It's so ott and goofy but also a great way to communicate with his limited face.

The Shadow Android scene is actually quite frightening, like with Omega's introduction it has a little touch of horror. Imagine how you'd feel, if it were my android clone I would feel pretty nauseous and scared.

'Ultimate Life Form Data' - Metal answers the question of 'is Shadow a Robot?' As soon as it was asked, but nobody has ever listened to Metal Sonic about anything, and they aren't about to start today 🥰❤️. But did Metal know what Shadow was? We presume it had seen the Shandroids, and knew they weren't him, otherwise Metal would have just copied one of them.

(Frog Forest + Lost Jungle) + TS

"Talk about being stubborn and full of surprises" is so uncalled for from Shadow's perspective. He's never met this guy, how dare he read him like that.

This fight is so stupid, I almost believe it's just them being friendly. You know Sonic's pretty freaked out at seeing Shadow again, but I have had kittens before and sometimes they just have to show their excitement with biting. I think this might be that? Because Rouge left no particularly bad blood with Sonic. Now if she and Knuckles started it, I would understand the hostility, but Shadow and Sonic totally start this one.

Do you think Sonic felt bad that he went straight in to fight Shadow when Shadow fully just had no facts in his head to help him make good choices? I'd feel bad lol.

Hang Castle + Mystic Mansion + Robot Storm

Shadow tefuses to answer Rouge's question then proceeds to loudly answer it to himself with her just metres away. Keep being you, Shadow.

I like that they refer to Omega to ask if it's the real one, even though he can't - nice team trust moment.

Egg Fleet + Final Fortress + Egg Emperor

'Even if I'm not real - I'm still the Ultimate Life Form' resolving Shadow the Hedgehog (2005) before it even begins. In seriousness, it's quite a contradictory statement, probably because he doesn't know much about what that means. Has Rouge told him? We haven't seen someone explain that in the cutscenes, so I presume so.

Rouge immediately turning away from Eggman's body is so funny to me. 'K cool bye'

The first time I'd forgiven her not seeing that it was clearly Shadow in the goo. But Rouge, come on now. Why would they all be the exact same alien goo container with a spiky starshaped thing in them? You have seen Shadow Android. This shock is not necessary.

Why is there not enough goo to cover the ears? They can hear you guys.

'Hey Omega, did I ever tell you that Shadow is a Robot? And, well, nevermind - good luck." ARE YOU TRYING TO GET HIM KILLED? I also have to presume she genuinely believes this here. It's such a weird line.

Omega is so smart. He has been dumbed down of late, but he's not stupid anywhere here. It is perfectly reasonable to assume that the one kept separately with it's own guard robot is at least more important than all these mass stored without an E unit dedicated to protecting it.

"Some things never change, do they?" How would you know? Did she tell you this? That's such a funny portrait of herself for Rouge to paint. Forever unsuccessfully trying to steal chaos and master emeralds, generally predisposed to being rude and disobedient? Or did he just observe that himself.

They leave it off like Omega may not be a recurring character from here. I wonder if they weren't sure if he'd be liked, since in SA2 they killed off a character that ended up being the most popular thing they'd made since the series began. Nobody is competing with Shadow's cult fanbase, but I wish more people like me loved big robot boy.

NAAAHHHHH CUZ WHY 🐰 BETRAYED ME

So after school I was looking for him, but when I was walking to his classroom I was him walking down the hall towards so I instantly turned around and went somewhere else cuz I knew he not really gonna talk to me much in the hallway. So a took a different staircase then him and went upstairs. After staling for a bit upstairs I was gonna go back downstairs to see if he was in his classroom, but as I’m going downstairs I hear someone say "stop running [My name]." When I turn around I see my algebra teacher from last year and 🐰 in a classroom. So then I say to my algebra teacher "why you stalking me?" (We got this whole thing going on about accusing each other of stalking 💀) So I walk in the classroom and im going back and forth with my algebra teacher. And one thing I say to my algebra teacher is that he said he had a football field in his backyard (obviously not true at all 🙄) . So he says when did he say that and I say last year on the last day of school. Then he wanna tell 🐰 that I’m fabricating stories, but as I’m telling 🐰 that he such a liar he said he believes my algebra teacher 😔💔. Then a few minutes later as I’m going back and forth with him again my algebra teacher says you hit him (my tc) so then I ask 🐰 if I hit him and he says "you probably did."

I know we just playing around, but damn…

Why he did me dirty like that 😭

[aajjks]

TC!JK “Aw. Why don’t you feed me the cake?”

”There you go, birthday boy.” she feeds him some of the cake and then he takes another one from her. She could feed him like this every day.

Seeing him eating it so happily makes her happy too.

“Wow yn were you a baker of some kind?”

“I don’t think that I’m gonna get enough of this cake. You have to bake it for me every month from now on”

“Really? I actually will if you want me to.”

He just winked at her. Such a tease.

“Aren't you going to dry your hair? Come here let me do it for you.” she gets him to sit in front of the mirror and starts to dry his hair like she did last time hoping he would spot the gift she had placed earlier in the evening on his dressor.

“Pass me that comb please.”

And there you go, he sees it and he's reaching out to take it.

He asks her how it got there but she doesn't answer.

She's holding her breath.

He unfolds it and sees the two little bodies sitting on the tree branch on the ground that she tried so hard to master and lastly his mother's name.

She's nervous as to how he would react. He hasn't really said anything yet, just staring down at it. She wonders if this was a good idea, what if he's upset with her?

“Wow.”

It’s beautiful. It has his mother’s name sewn on it. “Y-Yn wow.. it’s so beautiful.” He exclaims, completely in awe.

Jungkook cannot help, but notice every single detail on the handkerchief. “I-It’s beautiful.” He coos. This is so precious. “It’s us yn.”

He smiles, his heart out at ease, as he caresses the fabric.

“Thank you for this. It’s so meaningful yn.” He whispers. 

So perfect.

“Thank you for this, it’s everything.”

Britney Mutation Notes!!

Okay, so I've been playing with this idea more and I think I'm like 25% there.

Originally I wanted it to be more of a Season 4, three episode arc, but with more studying over the story arc, it's currently a mid to late Season 3 focused development.

While it's mainly 95% fun of what Britney's mutation form would be like, its also 5% development for her character and her parents, Angela and Baxter.

First off, her mutation-- temporarily renamed to "Mothra" thanks to Mikey, is basically Britney turning into a silk moth. Specifically, a hyalophora cecropida! I think the most hardest decision with Britney mutating into a moth, is that I had to make her non-cognitive. She's truly animalistic, and other than a thrown bow hanging onto her head, she's mainly unrecognizable to most folks.

As to how she got the moth DNA, though most possible detail to change, the main idea I had is her school had a field trip where they visited a biology museum, and they were allowed to pin certain insects to exhibit and experience the process. Thus, Britney getting Moth DNA on her.

The first episode I do have the main idea now; It starts off with Britney, still in school clothes and her backpack, helping the Hamato Turtles, along with April and Casey, to beat up TC, Xever, and Chris (and another oc lowkey COUGH it's Alec @dongpound .) Shredder enters the picture to flip the winning card for them and finally takes notice of WHO Britney is, by one of her loose pieces of homework with her Full Name written on it, along with a torn piece of fabric from her shirt.

It mainly dissolves into two things.

For Britney's end, she's able to gain a closer and empathetic sense to April when she comes forward about her torn shirt. April agrees on taking her to the mall, and its a fun montage of each of them going through a selection of terrible outfits before finding the right one.

The night ends with them at a gas station corner, slurping down Icee's and feasting on cheap nachos and hot dogs. The two get to talking, mainly with how they understand how it feels to be the "odd one out" with mutant ninjas, even if April does have some Kraang connection/powers. It devolves into a conversation where they both mention how small their friend groups have gotten. April used to have a normal relationship with her father and classmates-- hell, one of them was even a crush (COUGH ALLIE COUGH @ dongpound) and Irma being her best friend, nothing was ever the same. Britney shares a same experience. Britney was one of the more popular kids, having friends left and right, before she had to deal with a missing/possibly dead father and distance mother. With grieving and taking care of herself, she became an odd classmate that most ppl weren't a fan of anymore. It's a good, relatable moment for them, noting that they're both truly trying their best.

Anyways enough time with Britney, its Angela/Baxter angst time

Shredder now knows that Britney is related to the both of them, and even takes that information as betrayal towards the Foot Clan. He calls Baxter and Angela forth, explaining how he knows what they're hiding and wants them to relocate their child if they want them to have any chance of survival from Shredder.

Now, we're in a mini ride for how the two now feel about their relationship. Immediately, both Angela and Baxter knew where she needs to be sent to...Angela's parents farm. They both know it would take a lot to convince Britney to make this easy for them, but aren't excited for their temporary partnership.

Baxter is still continuously dishonest, while Angela sees the two of them as "dead."

Both sides are chasing after a much needed item (idk what that is yet)

And it leads the Hamato crew and the Stockman crew meeting each other by accident Thus mutagen somehow befalling Britney. It's a painful mutation to watch, but it is brutal and filled with a child begging for help.

Baxter and Angela were able to save their daughter by taking her out the picture. Now, they watch her tortured form fly around and hit glass walls and barely hanging onto hope that she'll ever gain some sense of normalcy.

Hi there, I just saw your post and I went to see if 'The Plaster Fabric' was on the open library, it wasn’t but I found something else by Martyn Goff, called ‘Why Conform?’ published in 1968.  It is written with young people in mind and is a kind of textbook designed to provoke discussion.  I found this rather interesting paragraph:

“Once we admit that a sexual deviation is not a wilfully diabolic act but something resulting from psychological disturbance, we must tolerate it in the kindest sense of that word.  Naturally we must protect children and others not strong or old enough to protect themselves.  But we have no more right to expect conformity from the sexual lame that we have to demand sporting conformity from the physically lame.”

I haven’t read 'The Plaster Fabric' but I read a couple of reviews and wondered if this is relevant.  I know it is from 1968, but still I found it quite shocking in its ‘special pleading’.  I wondered if the book reflects this attitude at all?  I know TC Laurie is kind of mixed up too, but I think in TC Mary is very careful not to portray homosexuality as a form of mental illness!  I would love your thoughts!

Thanks for sending the quote, it is.... something. I've been thinking about it, but I don't think this attitude is reflected in The Plaster Fabric. Would welcome input from anyone else who's read it!

Laurie 2's struggles aren't to do with accepting he's gay. What he needs is to develop some agency and make his own decisions about his life. He and other characters view queerness as an innate thing rather than a choice. Some of the other characters see it as a negative for sure, but I didn't get the impression the narrative itself treats it as something "wrong" with him. 🤷
