having scary dog privileges when going out in public with Bakugo

Except people only avoid him because they’re afraid of getting rabies 😭😭

he’s just so chaotic he has to be infected

LMFAOOO UR IN MY BRAIN BC I THINK THIS !!!!

(him n my oc r like this cough coiugh cough)

i mean,, look at him..💀 sure, he's scary and big n buff n whatnot but also he looks like a damn dog with rabies the way he walks around shoulders slouched n saggy n with that impossible frown on his face. (plus his little waddle) and if you catch him on a good day he's even scaries cus hes walking upright like he does when he has those big ass gauntlets on his arms and hes just smuch more imposing and scary😭😭😭 (🤤)

and the way he practically snarls foaming at the mouth at the thought of anyone daring to approach you with any typa romantic intent,,very scary stuff indeed. goosebump inducing.

like he's scary in the way hes intimidating and also he looks like a freak😭 plus he's just soo loud when he feels threatened. like if he thinks someone (god bless their soul for even having the balls big enough to walk up trynna flirt) is trynna start something with you hes all GLARESS. the pressure in the room goes hard and when the person doesnt get the hint he will very much start talking for you. he'll lean over your shoulder where he was walking next you and full on get in ppls faces😭😭

"HAAAH???!!! you can't hear or somethin' ?! we're fuckin' busy !"

he'll be so pissed off about the interaction he'll keep mumbling about some "tch,,damn extra..trynna start shit with me.." he'll keep doin this till you kiss his boo boo's better

How long did it take for pafl as a whole to be written? whats your writing process like and do you have any tips? i personally struggle a bit with that sort of stuff haha and i think pafl is an awesome example of good writing

Thank you so much, I'm flattered!

It's a pretty hard question to answer haha

The actual concept for PAFL was brewing for a long while. The story and characters went through a lot of revisions over the years - all before I even made the first video in the series.

I think publicly putting the project in motion was what forced me to solidify how the story would progress and what the characters would be like.

When I just started it, the only things that were set in stone were the events of PAFL and Yura going to the Zone after Katya's capture. But by Punch it Punk, I've roughly laid out the plan for the whole rest of the story.

There have been some slight deviations since then. I have given more significance to certain secondary characters and have compeltely changed the ending. Plus, some details have - and will be - tweaked as the series goes on, because of course 19 year old me wouldn't think everything through perfectly.

Still, the general plan has stayed more or less consistent since the third song. Much more so than I expected it to lol

The Dobrynin family is a corpo family through and through, rooted in Arasaka and Orbital Air going back by several generations; though their powerful position within the corporate world ends with the children of Nadya and Matvey Dobrynin. With Vitali and Daniil fired from Arasaka and Kang Tao respectively— the former indirectly getting his parents fired, too— and Roksana having refused to set foot within a megacorporation from the start, the family begins crumbling apart at the very seams when clashing interests lead to grudges, betrayal, and pointless acts of revenge. ↳ read the unrevised fic here if you're interested!

rereading TGWCM while working on the final chapter and tbh the progression of reader finally figuring out her and König are friends after 55k words and then getting dicked down and dirty while telling him she loves him before the sun can even set is so iconic of her. this bitch is always 0 to 100 ain’t she.

also i took some screenshots of some of my personal favorite out of context lines

my opinion on the Blake lively situation

[necrotic-nephilim]

this is an invitation to ramble about slade/batboy ships: sladick, sladejay, sladetim, sladedami, and other batfam member/villain ships, especially jayroman and ra'stim :)

AAAAAA this is so delightful oh my god thank you. adding a read more just because this one is going to get Long to cover all the ships and all my opinions. because my god do i love Slade.

firstly, the original Robin/villain ship, SlaDick. Slade Wilson, literally created to be a Teen Titans villains, with the original Robin he cannot be normal about ever. i'm so sad there's not much interest in Slade aside from making him a generic Evil Guy who canonically likes teenagers because i think to just boil down his complex with Dick to 'weird attraction' robs them of SUCH nuance. Slade *trusts* Dick, he trusts Dick enough to ask Dick to train his own daughter Rose. and initially Slade's complex over Dick isn't sexual, it's seeing Dick as a replacement for his dead son, Grant. that's messy as hell and i love them for it. i don't think there's a single villain that has the respect for Dick that Slade has. i'm always of the opinion Dick's attraction to Slade is rooted in daddy issues and Slade's attraction to Dick is rooted in dead son issues. do i think they could end up as an old married couple? yes but only in a world where Dick is completely broken and feels alone. my favorite SlaDick flavor is post-Jason's death. Dick and Bruce are arguably at their worst during that era to begin with so Dick is pretty isolated and emotionally unstable. and Slade would take such advantage of that, swooping in to offer Dick emotional stability and fucked up sex to get out pent up emotions. (i'm big a big fan of Dick fucking out his feelings tbh) and Slade is just. this sort of bad habit Dick will kick for a year or two then come crawling back to. you can directly track how well Bruce and Dick are getting along based on how many times Dick has slept with Slade recently. and that's the prize, for Slade. knowing Dick will come back to him, eventually. it's all about patience. and if something really extreme happened to Dick (like Bruce's fake death) i think they'd even date briefly. it's not entirely impossible for Dick to date someone he disagrees with morally (see: his flings with Helena) and i think Dick would keep trying to 'save' Slade, using the upper hand he has of filling in this role of Slade's dead son to try to domesticate him. would it work? who knows but if anyone is going to try over and over, it's going to be Dick. it's practically self-harm for Dick yet the only thing keeping him sane. i love them.

SladeJay is... an interesting one for me. because i like the *potential*. but they have no significant interactions pre-Flashpoint. and while usually i can forgive New-52 and Rebirth for their grievances if it has ship fodder i just... can't do that for Jason. Judd Winick's Jason is the only Jason that exists to me so even Slade and Jason's canon interactions matter little to me because it's not the version of Jason i care for. the upside of that though, is it's more of a sandbox to explore what they could be and there are no limitations. i can just run wild. which is fun bc. you're telling me Slade wouldn't be so drawn in by the idea of a dead Robin who's come back and is now the antithesis of Bruce's morality? i think at some point Slade would want to poke the bear, really see what Red Hood is made of. do i see them working long-term? no but i do think Jason would have zero qualms working with Slade if he got something out of it. and if he could fuck with Bruce or Dick by having a short, fucked up relationship with Slade? that's even better. i don't think Slade could ever truly respect Jason, at the end of the day the Dick Grayson standard is too high and Slade would sneer at the idea of a legacy who fucked it up so bad he got blown up. but, he'd see that as Bruce's failure more than Jason's. and for Jason to have someone look him in the eye and say that Bruce *failed* him? i think that'd just *do* something to Jason. and Slade has lost a son, he knows what that loss feels like, how you feel you failed as a father. would he have interest in being fatherly to Jason? no but i think he'd have fun momentarily manipulating Jason and seeing what reactions he gets out of what jeers. Jason's been calling himself a failure this whole time, so to have someone else say it is no real big deal, but to have someone else say it's Bruce's fault and voice Jason's feelings? they'd have the most fucked up sex with the most unhealthy dirty talk that's both gentle and degrading. i don't think Jason would ever let himself get too close, he's far too emotionally guarded. but for a second, i think he'd fantasize about having even *half* the amount of attention that Slade gives Dick. bc what has Jason always been, but in Dick's shadow.

SladeTim. my two blorbos. in one place. somewhere in my drafts i have a half-started longfic about SladeTim that's one half really fucked up porn and one half slowburn feelings. arguably Tim and Slade don't have many canon interactions, but it's fun to me that when they do, Slade always seems sort of startled by how well Tim fights back and Tim's willingness to fight dirty in a way even Dick doesn't. and to me, that's the crux of this ship. as far as Robins go, Tim should sort of slip under the radar for Slade. he's not the dead one turned villain, he's not the grandson of Ra's al Ghul, hell he's not even the child of a second-rate villain like Steph, he's not *the* Dick Grayson, he's just... the other one. grew up pretty rich and normal and fell for all of Bruce's wax poetic nonsense. so when Tim puts himself on the map as a hero, makes himself a worthy opponent against Slade that's interesting. even to Tim, Slade isn't a particularly remarkable villain since Slade cares to stay more on Dick's radar. so when they cross paths there's a lot of unexpected. neither of them have thought about the other too hard. so there's this interest and intrigue about it i love. i'm a big fan of the idea Tim is a massive masochist, both physically and emotionally and Slade is The Sadist Ever so. i like them falling into bed together and having the most fucked up sex. like Tim just being a Weird Little Freak so fucked up even Slade raises an eyebrow. because this isn't what you *expect* of a kid like Tim, who's had a pretty easy life before tangling with vigilantes. he should be like a fish out of water, but instead he's matching Slade's energy in ways even Dick doesn't. and of course, how smart he is, that's an asset. it takes a special kind of kid to have the audacity to poison Lady Shiva with hotel chocolates and pull it *off* no less. it earns a begrudging respect, and it's rare to get Slade to respect someone. i really like the idea of Tim seeking Slade out only for fucked up sex and somehow Slade falls for this weird little freak who's cold and clinical outside of sex and keeps him guessing.

i'll be honest i've only considered SladeDami in the context of seeing antis say 'omg Slade has been predatory toward Damian ewww' and going 'no the fuck he hasn't but if you want that so bad i'll ship it just to spite you all' but their canon interactions do fascinate me. a lot of how they interact is predicated on Slade as a father, even more so than SlaDick. like Slade will fight Damian and then be like 'hey be good to your old man fathers need their sons' and fucking dip. and then with the whole Respawn thing and Shadow War? that was extra crunchy. for a brief moment Slade had a son who was a brother to Damian and then he goes and *dies*? talk about the complex that would give him with Damian, the spitting image of Respawn. Make Slade Weird About Batkids That Remind Him of His Son 2024. Damian holds an utter contempt for Slade that is simply unmatched. so Slade not leaving that kid alone because of his weird issues, making sure that Bruce doesn't screw up with Damian the way he screwed up with Respawn is very fun. and Damian slowly building up a tolerance to Slade's annoying antics could be fun. Damian is, at his core, still just a kid who needs the approval of something father-shaped and he will Take What He Can Get. are they ever healthy or long lasting? no but i do think Damian would cling to Slade during his teen years for something incredibly fucked up and codependent until either Slade dumped him or he forced himself to get over it.

JayRoman. i will not lie love these two but i don't think i've read many Black Mask comics when he's not interacting with Jason. which is funny because my entire conception of Roman is him just getting humiliated by Jason and really what more is there to know about the man. Jason is so unserious in how he handles Roman and the best part is you can tell it's truly because he doesn't see Roman as a threat. Roman's just a pawn in the game of getting Bruce's attention and sure, Jason is aiming to kill Roman by the end of it, but he'll always have bigger fish to fry. and that's so *infuriating* for Roman. this new guy who's *clearly* a fucking teenager shows up, owns you so badly it shatters your empire, and then you only live bc he seems to have gotten bored of you. JayRoman is my particular favorite ship for the flavor of 'the sub in bed is in control of every other aspect of their relationship and their submission is a gift that can be revoked at any time' which we don't get enough. fucked up power dynamics always have the sub being the one lacking control. and whilst i enjoy when Roman is able to absolutely control and manipulate Jason through various means, i think in canon, it makes far more sense he's pathetic and begging Jason for even a *chance*. and Jason very specifically picking who he subs for based on someone who he could kill or destroy at the drop of the hat if he needed to is a very Jason thing to do. there will never be trust between these two. they will fuck nasty and Roman will be in love with Jason. but they are both carrying a gun during sex. the gun is probably involved during the sex.

Ra'sTim. my everything. Red Robin (2009) you will always be famous to me. what *don't* they have. forced proximity. enemies to lovers. forced partnership. one-sided obsession. ridiculously large age gap. deep unforgivable betrayal. i will never evacuate these two from my brain dear god. Ra's is another one of those villains who gets painted with one broad stroke of being cartoonishly evil with no exploration of his interesting nuance. making him nothing but a villain is boring. where is the Ra's who loves so deeply and fully and has to lose his loved ones over and over and will not let that happen to Tim. he wants to consume Tim in a 'cannibalism as a metaphor for love but also probably literal cannibalism' way. the amount of trust put in Ra's in order for Tim to be able to betray him as spectacularly as he did? that's glorious. Tim had full unfiltered access to Ra's' computers even when he was advised against trusting Tim so much. and then Tim wins against Ra's and willingly lets Ra's kill him. (obviously Dick saves him, but I'm of the opinion Tim was just committed to dying in that moment and he was Okay With That) 'i will betray you if it's the last thing i do' as an act of love. Tim is to Ra's what Dick is to Slade. you will never convince me Tim and Ra's didn't hatefuck at least once during RR (2009) with a questionable level of consent. i'm so serious i will never shut up about them. the way Tim talks about working with Ra's as if he's making a deal with the devil and Ra's talks about Tim like he's the precious, once in a life time thing, one of the only people worthy to produce an heir for Ra's. how's that not gay. what other ship involved one of them literally trying to have the other's baby to raise as an heir. Ra's would probably carry the baby himself if he could. memes aside they're just so. they're so it. i love when Tim is forced into a Situation where he has to work with Ra's and confronts the darker aspects of himself that Ra's wants to bring out but Tim wants to squash. it is The corruption kink. whether Ra's succeeds or not in corrupting Tim doesn't even matter because the real crux of this ship is the chase. it's the way the heart pounds when they reach out for each other and you don't know if it's for a kiss or a killing blow. it's very Hannigram to me, in that i don't even need or want them to kiss to know they're in love. love to them is not true love's kiss, it's the thoughtful place they decide to stab the other in. be the sheath to my dagger type ship. hold all this bloody violence i know you're capable of inside of you. let me cut the violence out of you ship. what more can you ask for from a ship. Ra's would tie Tim down and torture him both as foreplay and as a love language and Tim would be too fucked up and self-sacrificial to stop him. always playing the dangerous game of how far will the other let them go until someone tries to die or kill. listen i think i lost the plot here but my point is they're unwell about each other. Tim will make Ra's regret the day he met Tim Drake not just for the betrayal but because Ra's can never go back to a time Before Tim. before knowing what the chase felt like. they're so. them.

Re: Doug and video games (I tried to find the post we were chatting on and think it maybe got eaten?) After some thought I think the sole reason he isn't more of a gamer in Canon is money, he seems like maybe he was the kid who didn't own a Wii or Xbox but played at a friend's house, like casually games in group settings kinda guy? BUT given means to do so he could potentially get into it (probably would go for a Nintendo system I think, given his references, and also bring able to participate in nerdy kid activities like playing Pokemon that were behind a real-life paywall when he was a kid) also a Nintendo system is geared towards group play like Mario kart or smash bros and I think he'd get a kick out of roping other people into playing with him. This has been the Doug Eiffel gamer agenda lol (also I'm super late but happy birthday! May the year being you peace and joy! 🎇🎇)

i would agree with that sentiment, for sure!! eiffel kinda grew up during the decline of arcades, so i think that's his main source of childhood video game nostalgia, but he definitely had a friend with an NES / N64 that he deeply envied. (he was already an adult by the time the wii came out, but he'd love the wii. for about ten minutes before he threw the remote through the tv, anyway.)

i think eiffel entered the workforce as a teenager, it was the only way he could get access to the stuff he cared about, and i have a personal headcanon that he's still got an old gameboy that he bought himself. it won't even turn on anymore unless he hits it against a flat surface at the exact right angle. he's the only one who can do this. and he wouldn't admit he was proud of himself, but he was. (as for pokemon, well. he references pokemon multiple times, and i know he still insists there are only 151. i just know it. his favorite pokemon is charizard.)

he would also go crazy on guitar hero.

Please tell me about your ocs!! IM HUNGRY GRRR

helloow omg ! im so honored you want to know more about my ocs aaahhh!! :D my moot @kovu-bunnbunn also wanted to know more so i figured i could do it now !!

i have a bunch of ocs but I’ll just talk about my main oc ryoko right now !!

her full name is ryoko ‘007’ aizawa. I’ll explain the 007 in a minute !! she’s aizawa’s adoptive daughter.

her parents (her dad more specifically, her mom was more of a bystander) are both from very wealthy families and merged. Her parents had an arranged marriage and after some chatter to get to know each other they’re conversations take a little bit of a turn..and inbetween bonding about their favorite movies oop! A lil comment about how the world would he better off without heroes..oh you think so too ? Well look at that, we have so much in common!! long story short they both decide that the want to create something that will be able to take down all might and the entirety of hero society and it’s restrictions,,and I’m pretty sure you can guess what that something was ! nine months later ryoko is born yipeee…!

during her entire pregnancy ryokos mom went through some quirk experiments (sponsored by doctor garaki 👍) because they knew that with both their quirks alone they wouldn’t be able to create a super weapon. (ryokos dad has an overhaul type quirk, and her mom has a healing sort of quirk) so they did some experiments hoping something would change in the womb, and when she was born the kept on doing experiments until she started manifesting a quirk w no attributes from her either of her parents and manifested a fully different quirk than she was originally meant to have,

since she had those experiments done ryokos body adapted to be able to handle her quirk, but it’s not perfect unfortunately.

heres a simple little chart of how it works ! (BTW I DO NOT DRAW LIKE THIS ANYMORE THIS IS OOOOLLLLDD😭😭😭😭)

her quirk is a lot like neijires as in she uses her own energy and converts it into power ! The amount she uses shows in her hair :3 ryoko tho, unlike neijire can do multiple things from sending blasts, to powering herself up to make parts of her body stronger, to making it hard objects like stepping stones she uses to navigate and weapons like dual swords or chains to restrain ppl !! she can also drain other peoples energy (and from her surroundings, but thats only in 100% mode ! ) because of the fact that her body had been modified, ryoko can carry more energy into herself than regular people which is why she can drain energy without any major drawback to a certain extent ! However, her drawbacks are way more severe, overusing her quirks makes her sleepy and drowsy, it gives her nosebleeds and very worse case scenario if she were to have too little or too much energy she could die :0 !!

(ALSO !! I lil extra tidbit: ryoko is capable of sensing peoples energy’s if she concentrates hard enough, it works better if shes seen them before, but she can sense all the energy in humans in her surroundings or if she has a picture, tho it’s slightly weaker and is limited to one person at a time. This is a form of remote viewing that i gave her bc of my obsession w stranger things i had !!😭)

its a pretty powerful quirk that her parents and other scientists knew they could use well, but unfortunately for them ryoko ended up liking heroes (she was barely educated, so she had no idea that she felt admiration for heroes and especially all might, she was alsovaguely aware that she was taught to do the wrong things, because she’d be forced to use her quirk on robots/ small animals in some cases.)

her parents weren’t supposed to feel any affection towards her so they decide to just give her a code name 007 :D which i realized a little too late was the same as james bond..woops😭

anyways fast forward to the biggg “earthquake” incident, shes rescued by a group of heroes, eraser head included :D unfortunately shes detained in tartarus since her being in a constant state of panick set her quirk off and she couldn’t stay in a regular hospital so ryoko has canonically been to tartarus as a inmate at the age of 4 😭! Oh forgot to mention this, but ryoko got her quirk veryy early due to the experiments done before her birth and after.

since ryoko cant control her quirk an aizawa can cancel them, they’re a pretty good matchup !! Fast forward some more and shes living with him ! he adopts her and lets her go to school, where she meets izu n katsuki and they quickly become friends because. Of COURSE. My main ocxcanon ship is a CHILDHOOD FRIENDS TO LOVERS ONEEE😭😭😭😭will i ever stop. raise your hand if you’ve ever seen that one comin

lmk if you want to know more about her or other ocs ! I didn’t wanna ramble TOOO much so this is all the basic info!! plus some drawing of her

two of them r completely credited to horikoshi cus i used ochaco n hagakure as a base !! I accidentally have two in normal mode and two in 100% or overdrive mode as she calls it (tho one of them is a soul eater au :3) ! Both made by me :3

Much luvvv xxxx!!! And thank you Sooo much for your ask again💗💗💗💗

[bluntforcespatter]

Why the new account?/genq

short answer: i had a mental lapse, deleted, saw posts i wanted to reblog & people i missed and remade. (missed everyone!!!)

long answer: i was stalked online and in real life. it unravelled my mental health to the point where i leave my house less than once a month. my groceries are delivered or bought out of town by my caregiver, whom drives 2 hours away to do this. (she's fine with this, she visits her mom on the way.) i have STPD or schizotypal personality disorder - it is a mental health condition that comes with severe paranoia. being stalked worsened this, i already had paranoia that i was being stalked by the people who trafficked me, but then i really was very tangibly provably stalked and it unravelled me. i was diagnosed (newer, 2020) with this (STPD) after being diagnosed (older, 2016) with dissociative identity disorder - this often means i have amnesiac episodes. (amnesia can be as severe as DO NOT REMEMBER AT ALL to DO NOT REMEMBER HOW THAT FELT [EMOTIONAL] OR WHAT I WAS THINKING.) having DID and STPD means all of my alternative states/dissociated states/"multiple personalities", (outdated, don't use that terminology) ALSO have STPD.

i have an introject of Simon Henriksson. (if you know, you know.) he doesn't handle paranoid thoughts well at all. he deleted my accounts (more than ONE sideblog!!) because he was convinced Rani was still stalking us. he kept any blogs that didn't have a mention of the area i live in.

so basically i got blackout paranoid, deleted my own account out of fear, knew i did it because the same time my blog went offline Si was online messaging his friend Josie, and realized i am some sort of genuinely insane freak that nobody likes for good reason. i didn't want to lie and say tumblr nuked me because i hate liars and i never ever tell lies, so i am explaining as best as i can even though it all sounds certifiably insane. i'd rather be an honest crazy weirdo than a lying passably-normal person. sorry this is so long i am trying to be thorough. i am also sorry for deleting my account, i have something wrong with my brain. i was not trying to freak anyone out or cause concerns or tell my mutuals i don't like them or anything like that!!! i apologize if this is worded condescendingly - not intentional, i just never know what other people know and often over explain trying to be understood - i often get tones wrong because of my mental illnesses. i am not trying to be rude, my brain just doesn't work right but i swear i'm not mean or scary or cruel i am just traumatized.

🍬: Post an unpopular opinion about a popular fandom character :3

I'm going with Shin in this one because I'm not as involved in other fandoms and I don't really remember any hot takes I have in other media

Since he's such a divisive character I think there are so many opinions that are both popular and not so much that I don't know how unpopular my opinions are

Well, I think that Shin doesn't plan his revenge yet and his goal is still to survive because he cooperates with the others and hasn't done anything troublesome in the third chapter. Plus he cares about Gin. I feel like he doesn't exactly hate Sara and Keiji anymore (or at least as strongly as before) but nothing can be said with certainty. And I hope for the best (even though if he learns who Kanna was it's going to be a major problem)

Also maybe I'm cheating because I have talked about this before but I don't think that his portrayal in logic route is necessarily worse than before and also that it's not inferior to Kanna's developement. I don't know how unpopular that is but I've seen complaints about how logic route is bad as we don't get enough of Shin

Of course, Kanna is very active and could be mistaken for protagonist (and that's great! I love Kanna and I love her development!) while Shin seemingly fades to sidelines (personally, I think he wasn't completely sidelined, his arc is simply different from Kanna's), but it is not a bad thing and it makes sense. Kanna was saved due to being cherished as a person, she was loved by the cast and loved them back. Shin's sacrifice helped her understand that she had value outside of simply being useful. While in Shin's situation it's polar opposite: he doesn't really have allies (or at least he probably feels like he doesn't), he was spared to be a tool, Kanna's sacrifice in his opinion was a stupid act of naive kid. Is he supposed to thank Sara? He thinks he should at least show how much he hates her, which isn't justification for evil Joe AI but at least explains his attitude

Well, why wasn't he plotting revenge and was somewhere in the background? Because he's confused and conflicted about everything. Having already traumatised Sara he probably had at least some doubts about completing his revenge (I don't have concrete evidence that he feels guilty after evil Joe AI, but my intuition tells me he does, even if a little). Aaaand Kanna didn't want more bloodshed. Aaaand he met Midori. He has to process so many things he just follows the crowd. Kanna doesn't have such doubts in her route so she can move forward easier. Shin can't contribute as much because he doesn't have energy for that (plus he did help out, he didn't let Sara lose hope that Keiji was alive and overall he participated in discussions)

So his writing in the third chapter is good and makes sense. Emotion route and logic route are quite different but both are more or less natural in how events happen

Well, maybe I should also post opinion I haven't voiced yet: while Shin's "showing collar" sprites are hot, his CG during first main game argument (war of words? Something like that) is superior. Look at it please, it's so cool

[pigeonwit]

hihi pidge! hope youre well :)

may i ask about gelert foulkes? what a name (it's been bouncing around my head for the past five minutes wbwbw)

bursts through the door you want to hear about my baby??? my child??? my terrible awful princess with so many disorders???

so full disclosure gelert was originally made as a joke. i'm on a big criminal minds kick and as much as i love spencer reid he is. a pig. and so - jokingly! - i said 'damn he needs a queer gnc anarchopunk love interest to fix him'. and then i made one and got way too attached to it and now they have a whole story arc that i really want to write one day. look everyone can say oc x canon is cringe but like ITS FUNNNN OMGGGG HAVE SOME WHIMSY IN YOUR LIFE ITS FUNNNNNNNNN-

but anywhore here's gelert's story separate from the oc x canon bs

so! gelert foulkes - i will make all my characters welsh so help me GOD - is a community organizer living in the rust belt, dedicated to grassroots activism and helping the more 'left behind' members of the community, such as creating AA and NA groups, affordable housing initiatives, accessible job training, etc etc etc. however, they are also massively indebted to a gang who controls most of their town, which they pay off through collecting blackmail, which is kind of not want you want to hear about the guy who runs your alcoholics anonymous group.

growing up, gelert’s father was a highly respected and highly abusive cop who had a lot of control over gel and their mother. he committed egregious police brutality, protected his friends and overlooked the marginalized members of their community, and the more gelert tried to rebel against him, the more he tried to control them. as gel grew up and began embracing their queerness, things got worse; they planned to skip town with their best friend, whom they had a sort of bonnie-and-clyde, ‘i brought you my bullets you brought me your love’ style relationship with (at least from their perspective. really they were just two marginalized kids who'd shoplift and get high together and loved each other so much because they were the only two people in the world like them). upon discovering gelert’s plans, their father broke into their friend’s house on a flimsy drug charge, shot them without reason, and was never charged for the crime. if anything, he was treated like a hero. this incites gelert to find and orchestrate a deal with this gang (as abusive a cop as gelert’s father was, he was never technically ‘dirty’, so having gelert’s father removed and his position replaced with someone under this gang’s control would grant them more power over local police). they stalked gelert’s father, recording his abuse, adultery, his weaponization of his power, his brutality, etc, and sent a copy of this compiled evidence to their father with the threat that it’d soon go public, thus causing him to shoot himself in front of gelert. his partner has always believed that gelert was somehow responsible, but there was obviously no way of proving that.

gelert is now under this gang’s thumb – they provide them with legal protection, and gelert helps to provide them with blackmail. they can’t leave town – but they also don’t want to anymore. they’re the reason their friend died. they could’ve done something, anything to help before it reached that point, but they didn’t. so gelert dedicates their whole life to being someone who does something – at first it’s just helping set up support groups and protests and community events, but as time goes on and gelert becomes more influential, they create their own community support network for the more marginalized residents. however, this makes them even more of an asset to this gang. gelert tries not to target anyone from their community group – they’re mostly set on people like police officers, business owners, local government officials, stuff like that, whom they uncover blackmail through stalking, provoking them into violent or illegal activity, or soliciting sex in order to get into their homes (what does it matter if gelert gets hurt? what does it matter if they get used? it’s for the greater good. there are so many people who have suffered more than gelert has. how dare they be unmarred). but of course that raises questions of morality and 'when do you decide when a person is 'allowed' to have their life ruined? what gives you the right to make that choice?'. because i realized i have morality ocd and by god i need an outlet.

gelert’s affiliations with this gang is not known to anyone yet, but it will come up as gelert is a person of interest in a string of murders against various addicts and homeless individuals. of course theres nothing really tying gelert to the crimes beyond the fact that all the victims were involved in some way with the community group, and that whoever committed the murders had intimate knowledge of the victims, including their vices, deepest shames, past wrongs etc etc, meaning that it is highly likely gelert either knows who the killer is, knows the killer without knowing that they ARE the killer, or is the killer themself. as the investigation continues it is revealed that not only is gelert involved with this shady gang, but that one of their targets actually used to attend this community group as a child; they were a prodigy story, gaining a scholarship to a good school and eventually becoming a lawyer... who defended dirty cops, hence why gelert didnt seem to feel bad digging up old dirt on him.

thats the most ive gotten so far. the idea is that gelert is so desperate for redemption due to their survivor’s guilt over their friends death that they've just. remained stuck in the town they wanted to leave so desperately, and has thus created this ouroboros cycle of doing irreparable harm and trying to make up for it by trying to help others. i think the conclusion (or like. the Act One conclusion) is that in an attempt to kill the real killer (their fathers partner on the force) they destroy the community hub and fake their death to enter witness protection to escape from the gang, however they do escape witness protection in order to see if the community group is still doing ok without them. and yeah its fine! its essentially self-sufficient at this point! they found a new building to host meetings, theyre organising job training and accessible housing and local childcare, because there was nothing more to do with this group. it was self-sufficient for so long but gelert kept insisting that they HAD to stay alive and they HAD to stay in this town because how else would these people get help?? and it just hammers home that like,,, yeah maybe gelerts intentions were in the right place but the reason the foundations of this group were rotten from the start wasnt because of the gang money or anything, it was because gelert was using this group to absolve themself of their guilt, which was never going to happen. and in letting it go they can finally let go of their survivors guilt.

look i know this is melodramatic and dumb as hell but i have had so much fun with this oc. embrace cringe into your life and joy and whimsy will follow. etc.

I have two major predictions for the last two eps of s2 of The Gilded Age.

highly likely but I desperately don’t want it to happen: Bertha and George separate after Bertha finds out that George put his own money into the Met (nbd) and that he lied to her face about doing so (v big deal especially because iirc he lied about it in the SAME SCENE where she said please never conceal anything from me again)

unlikely but I would be delighted: Mrs. Astor, in a desperate bid to win the opera war, promises Bertha that if Bertha lets the Duke go to the opening at the Academy instead of the Met, then Mrs. Astor will marry her daughter off to Larry. but Larry, who has proven headstrong and reckless about love, does not want this. meanwhile Marian, who has already once before attempted to elope, desperately does not want to marry the guy who pressured her via public proposal. Marian and Larry elope.

now, if both these things happen, it could lead to the least likely yet most desired (by me) twist: Bertha and Agnes, united by outrage and loneliness and mutual contempt, have a torrid affair that goes from hatefucking to grudging co-conspirators who respect each other but pretend not to.

Imagine If Fleetway Super Sonic and Sonic were actually very friendly with each other.

Now imagine Scourge getting jealous or be shocked by it

I think Scourge would be too busy being shocked to be jealous by it lmao. I headcanon he's surprisingly not as jealous a person as people expect him to be, and even if he was, he'd be too busy going "who are you and what have you done with my Sonic" to be jealous. In an extreme case, where the change of heart seemed to be sudden, he'd be worried about mind fuckery going on, maybe concerned Super or someone else has some mind altering power or device that's fucked with Sonic's head to make him be friendly with Super

Fortunately for Scourge, it's doubtful that will happen (unless someone really did pull some mind fuckery on Sonic, which would be a pretty cool storyline ngl) because I don't think Sonic will ever be friendly with Super - or at least it would take a very long time and a lot of work (and maybe some forced proximity). I think Sonic is still hung up on that one time he thought he - as Super - murdered his friends, and doesn't really believe Super can ever be truly good also his whole issue with Kintobor/Robotnik. He probably thinks there's no justice in Super getting a happy ending and being good despite being made out of chaos energy when Kintobor couldn't. Maybe that would calm down after Kintobor's return but who knows. He's not against second chances, but I don't think he'd be particularly willing to give one to Super, partly because he sees Super as more a manifestation of chaos energy and the evil within it than a person. As for Super, I think he's (understandably) nervous about being around Sonic. His ire would be hurtful, considering Super is trying so hard to be good and Sonic just will not believe it. Sonic's fear of Super undermine's Super's efforts to be a good person, and Super is worried, deep down, that Sonic is right. He was right before, after all

I think the relationship between them could certainly improve, albeit most likely with outside influences - Sonic could certainly stand to learn Super is a person and not just an evil manifestation of chaos energy that wants to destroy everything he loves, and therefore see him as a person who is not only capable of being good, but who wants to be good - but it's very difficult to envision them as ever being friendly with each other. The tension between them can be minimised, but it would be incredibly difficult to eradicate it enough to be friendly. I actually got a comment on one of my previous fics, that described them as "working towards chill civility" which I think sums it up perfectly! They can absolutely learn to co-exist in chill civility, accepting one another's presence in the world, but just... preferring the presence to be at a distance as much as possible. Anything more than that would take a lot more effort than I imagine either of them are willing to give lol
