#the kid has a pet ghost dinosaur

[backgroundcharactermaterial]

the greek gods exist in the DCU, but there is a startling lack of fanfics that contain a demigod kid struggling with the fact that one of their parents is an actual fucking god. Bonus points if the god stuck around to raise the kid. I don���t want some PJO abandonment issues, I want Hermes complaining about email. Or Hades, Persephone and the mortal in this fun poly relationship where Hades is the only sane one.

Things Battinson Totally Did During His First Year of University

Using Unhinged or Odd Things I Also Did as a College Freshman :D

Note: for this list, let’s believe Bruce was living in an (admittedly expensive and swanky) dorm because it is required for first-years, especially those entering at a young age, and Alfred told him he needed to make friends. Also yes I did every single thing on this list. I never claimed to be a role model

Bruce, to his TA: I’m so sorry I’m late to class. I gave blood a few hours ago and almost fainted on the way here, but it won’t happen again.

Signs up for a class called “Age of Dinosaurs” despite it not being required whatsoever and proceeds to work his entire schedule around it

Bruce: Your mental health is super important. If you think you should see the on-campus therapist, go see them. Friend: Fine. I’ll sign up for therapy if you sign up for therapy too. Bruce: Hold on-

Finds a loophole in his housing contract that allows him to get a pet frog, calls him kermit :)

Gets a second frog because Kermit was lonely, names it Constantine after Muppets Most Wanted, then realizes that they’re gay for each other. Wonders if the rainbow-colored rocks he got them triggered anything

Swings dramatically between calling Alfred every single day and ghosting him for weeks, cries when he realizes what he did

“Accidentally” joins the student body council, doesn’t know what he’s doing, gets re-elected anyway

Molds a dragon out of Laffy Taffy instead of doing his work

Bruce: *joins Honors, gets all A���s, takes the max amount of classes, has several minors, overachieves* Also Bruce: I’m a failure.

Breaks into a building after hours to study because NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO SHUT THE FUCK UP AT THE LIBRARY

Bruce: I will not get seasonal depression this year. Bruce: *gets real and seasonal depression that year*

Gives a presentation to his rhetoric class on how much he likes Spider-Man: Into the Spiderverse (it is 20 minutes long)

Successfully allocates funding from the student body council to pay for free feminine products in the dorms OUT OF SPITE because someone said it couldn't be done. fuck you, Andrew

Bruce: It is not an all-nighter if I go to sleep before my first class. Friend: It is 7:30am, the sun is in the sky, and your first class is at 12:30. Bruce: But I am getting sleep.

Refuses to go anywhere without his backpack because what if he needs three notebooks at once

Loses over 20 pounds because ✨stress✨ and scares the shit out of Alfred when he comes home for Thanksgiving

Argues with his TA over the one (1) question he got wrong on his Dinosaur exam

Bruce, calling Alfred: Hello father figure. How do I do taxes? Do I have to do them myself? Also, I think I’m having a panic attack.

Joins in on a charity arts-and-crafts project that gives kids books with matching activities made by volunteers, proceeds to commandeer the project because “it’s not color-blind friendly” and rewrites the instructions for everyone

Makes a murder wall

Goes to one (1) sports game and proceeds to leave in the first ten minutes because it’s way too loud wtf is wrong with people

Professor, addressing the lecture hall: I dare you to write an essay about these two sentences. Bruce: *writes an essay about six words, gets a 100, never even read the book*

Crawls into the ceiling for some alone time

Ghosts someone after a date because he’s too scared to tell them he didn’t know it was a date in the first place and now he feels bad

Classmate: How tf does he walk across campus that fast? I go in the same direction he does on my bike, and he’s always ahead of me. Bruce: *is gay sprinting to Dinosaur class*

Refuses to let others use his Favorite Pen TM

Constantly gets mistaken for a Grad Student because he is “so wise and mature” (bestie, that’s the autism)

Wears a suit to one of his finals

Regularly eats non-organic food for the first time in his life, proceeds to learn about several allergies Alfred forgot to mention he has

Writes “What is a Hot Pocket?” in calligraphy and proceeds to laugh his ass off alone in his dorm because he is so exhausted he’s reached the point of delusion

Okay that's all love you BYE

[mpregjamesdiamond]

Okay here are some antics I think the BTR boys would get up to source: I’m a certified minnesotan who goes to duluth a few times a year

-the main mall in duluth is the miller hill mall. Totally generic, average mall, but it’s pretty much the main thing teens will do during the winter. I think they would get banned for life by starting a food fight in the cafeteria and they’d keep coming up with disguises to use and then subsequently getting banned again. there's also a mall called fitgers which is pretty cool because it used to be a brewery. i've only been there a few times so idk as much about it alas.

-speaking of malls, at some point they would come to minneapolis (i assume for say a hockey trip for example) and go to the mall of america. It’s the biggest mall in the western hemisphere and theres a zillion stores so you can imagine all the antics there. But in particular, they have an amusement park. It is currently nickelodeon universe but i think at the time it would’ve still been camp snoopy. I think they would have gotten banned by climbing up the rides and breaking something.

-While in minneapolis, i think they would’ve gone to the sculpture garden (it’s free). I think they would somehow make the cherry break off from the famous spoonbridge and cherry fountain

-They would also go to the science museum for sure. I think they would manage to knock over a dinosaur skeleton. But also they’d also just have all kinds of general antics. For example, they have a thing that blasts you with air to replicate sneezing and they’d 100% do that to each other. I can elaborate on this more I went to this museum sooo much as a kid but this is already gonna be so long lmao.

-While still in the area, they’d go to Valleyfair, which is like the main amusement park around here. Again, generic amusement park antics. But I also think they’d come around halloween, when they do ValleyScare, which is when they have like, haunted houses and scare actors and whatnot

-Going back to duluth, they would DEFINITELY spend time around canal park in the warmer months. It’s like this little touristy/shopping center in duluth. There’s a bunch of little shops and restaurants and a couple museums (including the irvin museum which is like a big ass historic boat and also as an aside they do like a haunted ship thing around halloween) around there. There’s a lakewalk they could walk along, there’s a lighthouse you can walk up to, and also there’s this like semi-submerged structure in the lake that people like to jump off of in the summer. 

-Also in the canal park area is the aerial lift bridge. The whole bridge lifts up when boats are gonna pass under. The guys would 100% get in trouble for trying to stay on the bridge while it’s going up

-Theres also this like, family fun center in canal park called adventure zone that i remember going to as a kid. it has like, an arcade and laser tag and stuff like that. obviously they would get kicked out of there almost immediately

-Theres a tower in duluth called enger tower that at least one of them would definitely fall out of and break an arm or something

-there’s a famous mansion called the glensheen mansion. Notoriously, there were some murders that happened there and tour guides aren’t supposed to talk about it during the tours (they’re usually okay fielding questions about after the tour) so I would imagine they would pester the poor tour guide about the murders/ghosts until the guide snapped asjhds

-less like, antic-y, but there used to be record shop called electric fetus that they probably would have gone to

-i think they would’ve been banned from the lake superior zoo for trying to pet the animals or something but i suppose that could happen at any zoo

- the downtown duluth area is on a really steep hill so i imagine in winter after it snowed they’d try to sled down it and almost get hit by cars

-Grandma’s marathon ends in canal park, so i think they’d fake like they ran the whole marathon to impress girls or something sadjhhka

-there are a lot of parks including state parks so i could imagine them getting like lost in the woods or whatever. in general in minnesota/duluth theres a lot of outdoorsy stuff like skiing, hiking, canoeing, kayaking, boating, jetskiing, ATVing, snowmobiling, that sort of stuff. fishing is really big because we have a zillion lakes lol. i was always a dork who just wanted to stay inside as a teen lol but teenage boys i knew growing up tended towards doing those outdoors stuff.

-an aside but i know the guys are hockey players so it's probably good to know the minnesota hockey team is the minnesota wild. im not a big hockey person but my understanding is they are incredibly mid.

hope this helps with your band yaoi bestie <3 obviously this is a non-exhaustive list but this is the big stuff that came to mind.

@partiallypearl @cant-get-enough-btr-forever @myloveforhergoeson @mpregloganmitchell @mpregkendallknight @btr-rewatch @bishounenbtr tagging you guys because you might be interested in their minnesota antics from a reliable source (my good friend penny)

penny i love love that you wrote all this i felt like i was taking a little tour with you around the cities <333

THEY HAD CAMP SNOOPY ARE YOU KIDDING ME... that's adorable, they definetly would've managed to catch that big snoopy on fire orrr get really trashed one night and try to steal it skdjsh (it seems huge on that picture so the idea of the guys clumsily trying to climb it to take it with them is cracking me up).

i remember you mentioning the spoonbridge once!! don't remember the context lol, i didn't know it was an entire garden waow.. yeah that cherry would suffer some damage with them around for sure.

that science museum looks like so much fun 😭 i think logan would ask them to go and they'd do it for him but end up having a blast together. if you do feel like telling more about what you liked about it as a kid please do bc im charmed by this place.

that picture of canal park's submerged structure is making me crazy bc those guys jumping into the lake could totally be them... one thing in general about these guys is they canonically Love the outdoors, they like to camp, the beach and they seemed to take well to california's warmer weather, i can see them taking any chance they got back home to enjoy the sun and the water without freezing their toes off lol. they also wanted to take snowboarding lessons according to the show (but james' mom made them take ballet instead <3), they'd take advantage of any change of adrenaline. the rush, one could say 🤨

THAT MANSION!! idk if you got that far but there's a ghost episode in season 1, and they obviously try to bust it. this would be right up their alley. i can see them plotting to split during the tour so they can catch that sucker (kendall's plan, brought on by carlos' request/begging skdjshs)

fun fact!!

but the fact that they're mid makes it so much funnier to me 😭😭😭 another mutual also told me the maple leafs are kinda hated? i honestly can see kendall choosing these teams out of spite as a young teen skdjdhd "oh you think they suck? well now i want in even more :)"

I LOVE THISSSSS thank you for taking the time to write it bestie ❤️❤️

[soft-bugs]

Some of my fave cartoons that I don't see super often:

Note: Most of these are for mid-older age ranges (like 7+)! A lot of them are adventurey with some fear/fighting monsters!

🐸 Amphibia (Disney+)

(Notes/Warnings: plot thickens throughout the seasons, they fight lots of bug monsters just as a warning to anyone who doesn't like bugs 😅)

🐎 Centaurworld (Netflix)

(Notes/Warnings: This ones uhhhhh weird lmao but it's so cute and also it's MUSICAL and I love the soundtrack, the Nightmare King is a bit creepy tho (similar vibes to the Lych from Adventure Time!))

🦊 Hilda (Netflix)

(Notes: I will never be over this show I stg dhjdjd I relate to Hilda sm, fantasy/foresty vibes with cool monsters/creatures, also she has a lil deer-fox friend/pet!)

👻 The Ghost & Molly McGee (Disney+)

(Notes: Spooky and fun!, It's been a while since I've watched this one, but I remember my friend and I got sucked into for hours lol)

😈 Dead End: Paranormal Park (Netflix)

(Notes/Warnings: Another spooky one! PLUS TRANS REP!, this one got cancelled bc Netflix sucks 🙄 but it's a fun show, some sad bits tho➡️TW: his grandma/family are implied to be transphobic (why he moved out of his parents' house) and there are issues in the show around that!)

🌙 Moon Girl & Devil Dinosuaur (Disney+)

(Notes: Tbh I've only seen a few episodes of this so far bc my friend showed it to me, but I love it so so much, it's got everything: superheroes, dinosaur sidekick, and musical numbers!!)

🐻‍❄️ We Baby Bears (HBO/Max)

(Prequel to We Bare Bears only they're babies and the animation's super cute!!)

🛸 Bee & Puppycat (Netflix)

(Notes/Warnings: Not necessarily a kids show, there's some swearing, but it's cute and silly and I love the color palettes, the music and just the calm vibes of it, also the animation is so 👌)

🐱🐶 CatDog (Paramount+ or probably YouTube)

(Notes: One of my faves from when I was younger 🥺)

(I'm realizing I tend to like adventurey cartoons with progressively-thickening plots lmao (thank you, Adventure Time 🤦))

How Simon Riley was as a Baby

Tags: babies, beer bottles, thunder storms, shouting, school

Warnings: None

Author's Note: So, my understanding of Ghost's past is that his dad was an abusive drunk type guy and later down the line Simon beats him up and his Dad goes to jail. And then while he is in the military his enemies come over and kill his mom, brother, brothers wife, and his nephew. Because this is what I understand, even if it's right or wrong, it's what I based these headcanons off of. Anyway I hope y'all enjoy it and Merry Christmas to those that celebrate! Or happy holidays, either way.

Is the type of baby to giggle with a big happy smile on his face while he pets a dog or cat 

Just loves to try and give them hugs and kisses 

He hates loud noises and cries when he hears shouting 

Thunderstorms is his worst fear 

Especially at night he’ll scream and cry and his mother will come to him exhausted and take him from his cradle and rock him 

Desperately trying to calm him down for sleep 

Most of the time she is so tired so she cries with him during the storms while she hears her husband shout at her to shut the baby up 

Will giggle and clap his hands at breakfast just smiling away 

He’s so cute 

His favorite toy is a stuffed light green dinosaur with dark green spots on its back

He takes it everywhere he goes and loves to cuddle up to his toy at night and when he naps 

He cries when his dad holds him and reaches out for his mother when he does 

Loves it when his mom kisses his cheek and holds him 

His favorite place to cuddle is the rocking chair though

He loves his brother 

His brother will take his little dino and rub it against Simon’s face while making kissy noises 

The classic plushie kiss 

His brother will take him out of the house during the day and sometimes takes him to school with him 

Simon adores the attention he gets from the kids and teachers at school

He has no idea what’s going on but people cooing at him and tickling his feet with happy smiles is never bad 

Bringing Simon to school earns his brother brownie points with the girls lol 

His mother will come take him home before lunch though 

And he’ll spend the rest of the day with her watching her do dishes and clean up beer bottles while his dad is at work

He is with her til his brother gets home and before his dad gets home his brother will take him and put him in his lap to watch cartoons like Pokémon or Yu-Gi-Yo or whatever else might be on the tv 

His mother will come watch for a little bit but she mostly looks out the windows 

Overall Simon is 10/10 level cuteness, a precious baby

For the ask game! 🍓 , 🐇 ,🧃, 🍄 , 🔪 , 🦷 ,☁️ , 🌸

OMG tumblr ate this ask for two days! sorry!!

🍓 ⇢ how did you get into writing fanfiction? 

Oh this definitely started in college. I started reading fanfiction on and off (homestuck lol) in the 2012/2013 era. By 2016, my senior year in college, I was miserable and almost entirely reliant on tf2 and Danny Phantom fanfiction as a form of escape. My favorite fics, Phantom of Truth and its sequel Shadow of a Doubt, inspired me to finally start writing. My first works were terribly cringe hahaha and will die a nostalgic death entombed in my old laptop under the many things in my closet.

🐇 ⇢ do you prefer writing original characters, reader inserts, or a mix of both? 

never written reader inserts (unless you count second person pov). original characters for sure

🧃 ⇢ share some personal lore you never posted about before

I try to keep a lot of my personal life offline. I don't have a big social media presence. Hmmmm... I really really really wanted to be a paleontologist when I was a kid. I got really good at identifying bones and knew a lot of the names of dinosaurs. I don't remember them anymore, but I used to I swear! (source: 5 yo me)

🍄 ⇢ share a head canon for one of your favourite ships or pairings

:) My fav ship right now is serirei (of course), but i am very partial to ekurei and grey ghost. Despite my track record on AO3, I'm actually not a big shipper. I mostly like comedy and or angst, and in my writing, I like to explore alien concepts and humanity.

🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

I have researched how long does it take a human to suffocate? to freeze to death? etc but I think these topics are probably pretty common among writers.

For fanfiction, I've researched nuclear physics, decay, and what's actually dangerous in a nuclear fallout event :0

For an original writing project (still unfinished - still unposted anywhere - i need it to be perfect cause i love it), I researched animal tranquilizers and probably got put on a list cause apparently that's a commonly abused drug. I don't know if that's the weirdest topic I've researched, but its definitely the most eyeopening one to a whole underworld I wasn't even looking for 0.0

🦷 ⇢ share some personal wisdom or a life hack you swear on

1.) Humans are human. Even the people with physical and mental problems. You'll get very far by treating everyone with respect and love.

2.) Take things slow. This isn't a race. You'll find where your going when you get there.

3.) Touch grass. Literally. Go outside and do something. The simple act of leaving your house or office resets your brain, and you'll find yourself better off in the long term.

☁️ ⇢ what made you choose your username?

:3 i wanted my fan username to be different from my normal one (in case a friend or family member or coworker searches me), so that forced me to choose something i'd remember. i went with alakazam + zamboni

🌸 ⇢ do you have any pets? if you do, post some pictures of them

i absolutely love animals and have so many pets! two dogs and a praying mantis. my girlfriend has two cats.

i also keep and raise a few different invertebrates like discoid roaches, giant canyon isopods, dwarf white isopods, superworms (and darkling beatles), and black soldier fly larvae (and soldier flies).

I used to have a bearded dragon (hence my feeder bug colonies), but he recently passed.

i do eventually want to have a koi pond, chickens, a rosy boa, some different millipedes, some silk moths, freshwater shrimp, starry night reed frogs, and i'll always keep dogs with me.

I'll post pictures later under the tag alakazanimals

«────── « ASK » ──────»

@vendettavalor ASKED:

📂 - the 141 squad

RANDOM (POTENTIALLY USELESS) HEADCANONS.

Captain John Price: This one partially comes from you, but I'm putting it in his tag so-- Him and Kate were absolutely married before both of them realized they were gay (with Kate canonically being sapphic as she mentions her wife, and John just having the energy). Similar fields, similar life experiences (they are also both trans* and I will die on that hill)… They were best friends, why the hell not? They still act married, and have even got something of a queer platonic relationship going on, but on paper? They've been separated for over a decade.

Kyle "Gaz" Garrick: This man is a grown-up dinosaur kid. Had a huge hyperfixation on dinosaurs as a child, and that never really went away. He totally didn't spend years of his adolescence memorizing every fact there is to know about dinosaurs ever. No. No way. And he totally doesn't continue to follow scientific news for the sole purpose of learning more cool facts about dinosaurs.

Simon "Ghost" Riley: He doesn't seem like the type to have a pet, and he doesn't, but if he did… He'd either have a "scary" rescue dog or some sort of reptile. Perhaps both. He just has that energy. Definitely leaning toward the idea of if he were to get a pet, he would be the type to go into a shelter and go home with the dog that's been branded unadoptable. It resonates with him, and he's quite the smart guy. He'd figure the training and make sure to give it a safe environment with him.

Johnny "Soap" MacTavish: A lot of people underestimate his intelligence… but people also underestimate how much of a NERD this guy is. Besides the fact he can improvise things with basic supplies, he's also just. A nerd. He loves loves loves comic books, and has a collection of Spider-Man comics he takes the upmost care of. He's also a big fan of Blade Runner.

[polurbehr]

Ghost Mutuals Tag Game 🦇 Send this to the last ten Ghesties in your notifications, then reply here with ten facts about yourself! Let's get to know each other!

Omg hi thank you, I like these. Now I just have to try and remember everything about myself that could be perceived as interesting. I am going to overthink this. I’m also going to add a cut below because I type A LOT and I don’t want to fuck up anyone’s dash (don’t remember if it would but whatever). OKAY FUN FACT TIME WOO YIPPEE

I have a pet chinchilla. He is basically a round domesticated squirrel that eats hay and screams when he’s bored. I love him dearly.

My favorite movie is The Labyrinth, and it has been my favorite since I first watched it when I was 4. My current favorite franchise, however, is Saw.

My favorite food is Thai green curry, despite the fact that I cannot handle spicy food for shit. I need at least two drinks on standby every time I eat it. It’s incredibly tragic.

This year I attended 7 concerts, and in order they were: Waterparks, Pierce The Veil & The Used, The Cure, Tori Amos, Counting Crows & Dashboard Confessional, Fall Out Boy, and Ghost.

As seen above, I am an emo loser. I have a fairly eclectic taste in music, but my favorite artists other than Ghost are probably: My Chemical Romance, Jack Off Jill, Fall Out Boy, The Cure, Pierce The Veil, Rob Zombie, Ice Nine Kills, Get Scared, Nine Inch Nails, Peach Pit, and The Front Bottoms. I am indecisive if you couldn’t tell.

I tend to pick up and put down hobbies very quickly due to the curse (ADHD), but the ones that have stuck with me are making perler art, playing the kalimba, needle felting, playing video games, rollerskating, and writing.

I like to collect vinyl, CDs, Lalaloopsy dolls, (regrettably) Funko Pop! figures, and any cool shiny shit I find on the ground.

I was a dinosaur kid. Obviously. However, that special interest created a spin-off special interest- coelacanths. They are my BEST FRIENDS and I LOVE THEM and the only thing keeping me away from them is the fact that I can’t swim nor breathe underwater. God did this on purpose because he saw that I would be too powerful with my ancient fish brethren and he quaked.

I love emo, scene, and mall goth fashion so much. Sincerely, a person who only leaves the house wearing band tees and black skinny jeans because they are scared of people.

Other than Ghost, right now I am also hyperfixating on Moshi Monsters again. PLEASE MOSHI FANS FIND THIS AND TALK TO ME I LOVE MOSHI MONSTERS SO MUCH. IF YOU HAVE NEVER PLAYED IT PLEASE GO DOWNLOAD THE REWRITTEN GAME I LOVE MOSHI MONSTERS. Yay.

[choccochocco]

Dc crossover

veloci moves to Gotham or metropolis or [insert corrupt city here] to do more evil schemes

it syncs up with the squads school field trip (either out of convenience or because he’s trying to weed out who specifically is a dino), and the squad meet different heroes (more chaos if they’re teen heroes)

danny phantom crossover

ms Moynihan and victor veloci are halfas and the team ends up discovering that the ooze does some ghost thing that imbues them with the power and form of a dinosaur or something and theyre also half ghost as a result

they must then come to terms with the fact that if they remove the dino they’ll be seriously harmed and significantly weakened (cue mad scientist jack and madie)

You could have it so veloci teams up with them at fist, but they see him try to attack Danny because he recognises him, and they realise he’s a true, prehistoric dinosaur halfa, and as a result, a much rarer and more valuable test subject

fnaf au

the squad become the animatronics (victor veloci and ms Moynihan are the original ones, they’re like the fun time ones or security breach ones, but more dino versions)

Age swap au (can’t think of name)

the squad adopt ms Moynihan (child in this au) and must help her fight against the mutated animals as she deals with her school rival victor veloci (potentially got bit by a mutant dino animal and the ooze entered his blood, so he has more experience than Moynihan) (can play out as many genres, ideally (in my mind) a high school drama, or a horror (think ghost face, but velociraptor instead))

on a similar note;

Infection au

veloci made a batch meant to mutate humans, but messed up some genetic coding, so they have become mindless and moving with only basic urges (eat, drink, sleep, fight back), and the squad, having already come in contact with the successful ooze, must fight this

(Easy fix: their normal tech works, but repair tools must be aquired harder fix: tech brakes, turns out to be a state wide (or global) event)

Mlp crossover

they wake up in the world of Mlp, and chaos ensues

they remain unsure of how to get back (I had g4 in mind, but it’d honestly be funnier with earlier generations)

Warrior cats au

can be with or without powers

dino clan sounds awesome

ice age au

they become ice age animals instead of dinosaurs

and they get plot progression too

Monster high crossover

Any generation

they mistake one of the characters pets for a dino (or veloci turns animals into dinos) and they follow it to monster high

Keep Jackson Jekyll and holt Hyde in so they have someone kinda similar (turn from human to something else)

scream street (British kids show one) crossover

They get mistaken for monsters and dragged there, ms Moynihan assumed to be their mother

Ben ten crossover

he mistakes them for fellow omnitrix users, and copies the dna of one of them so he ends up able to turn into dinosaurs (likely ms Moynihan since she’s originally a dinosaur)

they help him with aliens, he helps them with their dino animals

Ninjago crossover

S1 specifically (my favourite season)

Also, veloci and pythor arguing sounds glorious

Edit: I added another

Xmen crossover

specifically x men evolution (high school setting)

they end up in separate classes, and buzz chills with the brotherhood for a bit and gives toad a confidence boost since he thinks amphibians are cool

the others get into the x men by pretending that they’re mutants

Fiona meets the morlocks

scenario in which they meet their future selves

scenario in which they get sent to the future

the squad meet past veloci and Moynihan, who are exactly like smart, immature crows

they end up stuck in dino for (or just one of them) and they find ways around it (or other wise get caught)

one of Caruso’s hair gels ands up very similar to the primordial ooze one night when he’s particularly tired, and he secretly uses it for a power boost, only to discover that it’s slowly making him more dino than human (he can’t reverse it)

Yall, Gimme Dino Squad Story Ideas

There is only around 30 fics on AO3 and that is a travesty so.

Learn to Fly

CW: Self-loathing, some internalized victim-blaming, references to parental death and grief, VERY vague reference to past noncon once or twice

Note: I made a decision to switch a little of the timeline around, so Laken and Chris’s breakup at this point happens after the original conversations about the Speak Out Arc start happening but before the Olympics themselves. I’m folding this bit into the larger Speak Out Arc.

Follows Time Apart and It Doesn’t Work As Well As You’d Hoped

-

He curls up on the couch in the coffeeshop, sipping something warm he barely tastes. It might have coffee in it - he feels a little drowsy, and that usually happens when there’s just a little caffeine.

Maybe that’s just because he hasn’t slept since Jake was hurt, not really. And he’s slept even less since... since he and Laken broke up.

Outside, there's unseasonable heavy rain. The clouds are low and heavy, a deep gunmetal gray that blocks out the light and has the streetlights on at 9:30 in the morning. The raindrops seem less to fall than to slam into the ground with terrible violence. 

The baristas talk in low voices about how grateful they are for the rain, burying the wildfires outside the city in a deluge the heat can’t overcome. Chris likes the rain, too, if only because it reflects the inside of him, suggests that the world can tell he is a storm within himself and reflects it to him.

He takes another sip.

He hasn’t showered in three days. His hair is dulled with it, like a penny left too long in the dirt.  He’s dressed himself like he used to, back before when he was still learning he was a person and not a pet - in one of Jake’s hooded sweatshirts over his compression shirt, so oversized on him it’s nearly a tunic, and a pair of mesh basketball shorts. His knees still look knobby, he thinks.

He can see the ghosts of the bruises there that used to never quite heal before his Sir sent him to his knees and made new ones to lay over them. He can see a couple of scars, some from training when the baton would crack into the backs of his legs and send him dropping like a stone, some from gymnastics, some from just being a kid.

Chris’s eyes lower, to look at his own hands holding his coffee cup. He put star stickers on his nails last night, and a few of them have already peeled off. Those that remain glitter, just a little. 

Something about the sight of it - the memory of when he put star stickers on Laken’s cheekbones at a concert until they sparkled under the starlight, laughing, a blur of bright eyes and dark hair - makes his throat nearly close, sends a new rush of tears to burn hot behind his eyes.

He has to close them to hold them back.

“You’ve had a hard time of late, have you, then?”

The voice is a rumble, cracked with decades of cigarettes and too much liquor, but Chris remembers it, anyway. At least, he remembers it now.

He turns to look up at the old man, in his shirt and slacks, a bit bent with age. There’s a merry twinkle in his slightly rheumy eyes, though, that shows that a young man is still there, under an old man’s experiences. There’s a slight smile on his face, warm and welcoming. 

Chris swallows, struggling to find the words. They flit away from him, he has to chase them down, but eventually he manages to clear his throat and says, “I, I, um. I know you. You, you, you knew my dad.”

“I did, at that. Worked with him for years.” The old man settles onto the other end of the couch, giving Chris plenty of space, a nice wide berth for safety. “What’s got you looking like a television commercial for depression, hm, Tristan?”

No one calls him that. 

Chris feels his heart twist, a little. 

By the time they saw the meteor, Tris, it was already too late for anything but a blink or two. When it touched down into land, it was so big the end of it was still in space. Can you imagine anything so big? Can you?

No, Dad.

 The earthquakes alone would have been immense thousands of miles away. Imagine, you’re eating leaves, living your life, and you see a shadow - and then in an instant, the world is shaking and you’re breathing glass. How does life go on after that?

I, I, I don’t know, um, um... how how does it?

It just does. That’s what’s amazing, Tris. It just goes on.

“Nothing. I, I, I broke up with my, my partner is all.”

“Hm, that nice young person who comes with you to the shops?” The old man nods, slowly. He’s got his own cup of coffee, plain black, steaming gently into the air-conditioning. Outside, the rain creates a curtain that walls them off from everything else. Chris can’t even see all the way across the street. He can barely see a woman with an umbrella racing from her car into the nail salon place off to the side. 

“Yeah, them. I’m, um. It wasn’t anything they they they did.”

It’s something I did.

It’s something I am.

It’s something I’ll never stop being.

“Well, breakups do happen now and again. Usually the one who does the leaving isn’t the one who does the moping about and staring at rain, though.”

“I didn’t want to.” Chris sits back, keeping his coffee cup in one hand. The other drops to his stomach, to tap, soothing his nerves at being so close to a man he knows and doesn’t-know. His memories are there, fuzzy and hazy from being overwritten by fear and pain, but they’re there. He knows this man, Mr. Malley, who would watch him sometimes when his parents went out, or when his father needed to stop by work.

The memories are there, but they still hurt. 

His head starts to throb, a pulsing pain behind his temples. 

“I didn’t-... I, I love them, I d-didn’t want to.”

“Well, now, that’s a conundrum, isn’t it? Are you moving, then, Tristan?”

It hurts to hear his name, but it hurts in a way that feels good. He was that person, too, before he was Chris. He hums, low under his breath. “No. I, I, I just… you know, um, I’m just. I’m… hard. Difficult. To, to, to, to be with, to, um, to-... there’s a bunch wrong with-... with me.”

“You sound like your dad.” Mr. Malley laughs, a deep chuckle that rumbles more in his chest than out of his throat. “You know that? You sound just like him.”

Chris ignores the pain in his head and he turns, now, to look fully at Mr. Malley, blinking rapidly. “My, my, my dad?”

“Yep. Paul was a good man, and a good dad, but before he was that he was a scared boy with a baby on the way and a plan that might not work.” Mr. Malley sighs. “A scared boy who’d always had it a little rough, trying to make the world work for him when it did nothing but work against him. You were always his spitting image. He’d probably be tickled to see you still are.”

There is a sense, in Chris’s mind, of a blurry man with short red hair, sitting near him but not quite touching him, speaking with animation about how there are dinosaurs that lived closer to human beings than they did to other dinosaurs.

He remembers a man whose eyes sparkled with animated focus when he talked about the world millions of years ago, who loved him by sharing the information he held within his own mind.

He and his dad had understood each other, in ways that no one else did but his mother, and Chris was beginning to see that it had been her determination to know him that had fueled his mother’s actions, her endless support. The same way Jake and Nat were determined, and stubborn, and kept trying even when they got it wrong. 

Everyone gets it wrong sometimes, but that doesn’t… that doesn’t mean they aren’t trying. 

Maybe he got it wrong.

“He never broke up with your mom, but oh, he thought about it. You know, when he came to work with us, he had a plan. But plans… they have a way of going off the road and into a ditch. He worried he couldn’t make it work, he worried that it would be too hard for Ronnie to be with him and have a child, too.”

Ronnie.

Chris’s throat closes up, and he closes his eyes. 

All right, Tris, I got you these so the noise won’t bother you so much. We’re going to have a good day at the parade, okay?

“Her family never liked him, for one. That’s a rough spot to be in, I think.” Mr. Malley is quiet for a moment, sipping his coffee and watching the rain fall. “Ronnie didn’t see it that way, of course. That woman was a freight train and God help anyone who got in the way. My late wife, God rest her soul, helped Ronnie with some things when her own family wouldn’t. She’d come over big as a house, eyes sparkling. You were a kicker, she used to say, kept her up all hours of the night. Just a girl, still, your mom, but she had a steel spine and she wasn’t going to live any life but the one she wanted. But your dad… he worried, that it would be too hard on her.”

“Having, um, having me would?”

“No. Having him. Paul was a smart man, you know. He knew his job would be trouble. He gave her chance after chance to go, if she wanted. But that’s the thing, isn’t it? She didn’t.”

Chris looks at his phone, lying on the little table in front of the couch. There’s some text messages he hasn’t looked at. Couple of voicemails he hasn’t listened to. 

“Maybe he, he, he didn’t want to keep hurting her,” Chris whispers. 

“Hurt’s a part of living, lad, take it from someone who’s given out his fair share of it and more.” Mr. Malley hums. Outside, a car pulls up, almost bumping the curb. “Perhaps you’re meant to separate from your young partner, Tristan, perhaps not. It’s like I told your dad, way back in the Stone Age. You choose if you love someone, to be sure, but they choose if they love you back. You can’t decide that for them.”

“But, but I’m-... but, but I’ve been… what I am, it’s-”

“I know what you’ve been made to do,” Mr. Malley says gently. “You don’t have to explain, lad. We knew.”

Chris’s lips tremble. He doesn’t want his coffee any longer. He sets it down next to his phone, on the little table. The baristas talk quietly about a date that one went on the night before, there’s a low sound of machinery. It all filters into Chris’s mind, a cacophony of sound he picks apart or doesn’t. Right now it’s hard for him to think around all the sound, but he tries. “Then, then, then why… if you knew, um, why… didn’t you-”

He can’t finish the question. 

Why didn’t you save me from it?

“We couldn’t. It’s shite, is what it is, but we couldn’t. And by the time we could, you were with that nice young man who you live with now. I’m sorry for the time you lost, Tristan, and sorrier still I can’t give it back to you somehow. You’re your dad’s child through and through, but you’ve got your mother in you, too. You know what Ronnie did when there was something she couldn’t get through?”

Chris turns to look at this man, who knew his mother and father in ways he never could have. He swallows. “What?”

“She went over it. Or around it. Or blew it to smithereens and went through the wreckage. Whatever it took. They tried to kick you out of school when you were a wean, she fought them ‘til they realized they’d never win against her. They tried to tell her you wouldn’t read, she told them to go, well, to go sit on a thing or two and not to tell her what her boy could or couldn’t do.”

Chris thinks of Nat sitting next to him on the floor, patiently encouraging him to keep trying to turn the letters into words, despite his headaches, his tears, his certainty he’d never get reading back.

You will, Chris. I know you will. Just keep fighting for it. They won’t take anything from you forever, I won’t let them and you won’t let them either.

Don’t let them keep you from yourself.

“They told her she’d never have a happy life, having a wee one so young, but she built that happy life anyway with her own two hands and dared anyone to try and knock it down.”

“Someone… some, someone did, though.” The gunshots, his mother’s eyes going dull and blank, her whispered I love you so much, Tris…

“Sure. Yes.” Mr. Malley’s expression goes serious, and sad. “But it took breaking into her house at midnight and bullets to stop her. You’ve got plenty of your mom in you, lad. Plenty of your dad, too, he was always a stubborn git himself. Do you love this person you’ve broken up with? Hm?”

“Yes.” The answer comes without hesitation, even though his voice shakes and his heart races. “I, I, I do. That’s, that’s why I don’t want to-to keep hurting them by, by, by by being messed up from what, um, from what happened to me, I don’t… I don’t want to keep h-hurting them-”

“Let them decide how they feel about that,” Mr. Malley says, voice gentle and low. “Plenty of people are hurt and find their way forward together after.”

Jake and Kauri, laughing in the kitchen as Jake spins Kauri around in a circle, dips him backwards, presses a kiss to his nose that has him giggling. 

Antoni at the stove, sighing but with a smile on his face, watching them. Being pulled into the hug not quite against his will, all three of them laughing then. Kauri bright and sparkling, Jake a deeper harmony, Antoni soft and genuine. 

“Maybe it won’t last, maybe it will - but don’t let a hard past keep you from the people who love you. I’ve seen many ruined by believing you may only be loved if you’ve no pain inside you. We’ve all got pain, lad. Carrying it together’s a sight easier than trying to go it alone.”

From the car parked right outside, an elderly man unfolds himself, opening an umbrella to shield from the driving rain. Mr. Malley looks up and smiles. “Ah, right on time, must be ten sharp. That’ll be Cilly. D’you remember Cilly, lad?”

Chris looks as the man shuffles his way inside, pushing open the door. The little bell over the top jingles and the baristas cut off their conversation, standing up straight to call out a familiar greeting to a regular customer. 

He squints.

“Not… not very well,” He confesses, a little ashamed.

“Ah, well, that’s not a problem. He and I’ve known each other a long time. I was an angry man for a while after my wife died, you know. Seemed a crime that I should outlive her, when Christa deserved to live to a hundred and six if she so wished. Cilly helped me carry that anger when I needed to be angry, and he helped me put it down later on.” 

He gives a wave to the man - to Cilly - who looks at Chris and then back to Mr. Malley with clear surprise, then heads towards the counter to make his own order. 

“Be angry, Tristan,” Mr. Malley says, a little heavily, leaning over to him on the leg as he pushes himself, with a grunt of effort to his feet. “You may need your anger, in the days ahead. But if you’ve a love to help you carry it, who wants to help you carry it and who will be angry right there with you, and you love them back… well… don’t let the wickedness of others keep you from the happiness you could have. You’ll be a poorer person for it.”

Mr. Malley walks away without another word, leaving Chris by himself again on the couch, tapping at his stomach, thinking. He keeps looking at his phone, thinking about all the texts he hasn’t read, the way he’s refused to call them back when Laken kept trying to reach him.

He leans over to reach out.

He stops, hand hovering just above the plastic with its colorful case, the sensory sticker on the back of it that Laken had bought him. 

What happened after all the dinosaurs died, Tristan?

I, I, I don’t know, Dad.

Trick question, buddy. They didn’t. Paul’s eyes, bright and vibrant, gesturing to a bird in a tree nearby. Nothing stays the same and lives forever except alligators and sharks.

Right because, because they’re perfect.

Exactly. Dinosaurs died, sure, but they didn’t die, too. They just changed to suit the world after the one they knew how to live in was gone. Imagine, Tris. 

Imagine what?

Imagine the world destroyed and in darkness, buried in ash. Everything you know is gone, ruined, wrecked beyond repair. And imagine… imagine that you learn to eat seeds and little mice instead of big animals and leaves. Imagine you become smaller and smaller. Imagine that your arms turn to wings, that your bones hollow out to carry you higher above the piles of ash that turn to grass and to life again.

What? I, I, I don’t, um, I don’t understand-... Dad, um, I don’t, I don’t... know what you mean.

Right, sorry. Just... imagine you’re a dinosaur.

He’d laughed. Okay.

Now imagine your dinosaur family is gone, and you have to become something else. What do you become? Being a dinosaur means dying, right?

Um. Right.

So imagine that you look at death and say, no thanks. No, you’re not going to be over. This isn’t it for you. Even a meteor the size of the entire sky can’t end you. Instead of dying out, no, you look at history, at geological time, and you say…

Paul had trailed off.

Say what? What, what do I say?

Don’t tell your mom but-... you look at the end of the world and you say... fuck this, I’m going to learn to fly.

Chris picks up his phone, finds Laken’s name and photo in his contacts. It’s a photo of the two of them together, Chris and Laken smiling and laughing as he smears whipped cream on their nose and they smear a cross of fluffy white into his forehead. 

He dials.

They pick up on the third ring.

“Chris? Oh my God, Chris, are you okay? Are you-... are you okay, baby?” Their voice shakes, and he closes his eyes. 

This time, he lets the tears slip out and run down his face. “H-Hey, Laken, um, I, I, I-... I’m… I wondered if you, um, if you could, uh… are you busy?”

“Am I-... Chris, where are you?”

“The, um, the coffeeshop-”

“I’m on my way. Don’t you dare fucking move.”

At their usual table, at their usual time, Cilly and Sean Malley start to talk amicably about the week ahead. But he keeps an eye on Paul’s boy, where he speaks a few sentences and then hangs up the phone, looking out the window at the rain.

It’s twenty minutes before a new car pulls up outside, and umbrella-less, the partner Sean has seen with Tristan before comes racing inside, a blur of black clothes and black hair and brown skin. Paul’s boy stands, and his partner throws themself at him so hard the two of them fall backwards onto the couch.

They start laughing, and shortly after to cry. 

Their hands come up to either side of Tristan’s face, and they lean forward to kiss the scar on his forehead. He can’t hear what they say to each other, but he doesn’t need to. 

Ronnie, he thinks, would like this spitfire person that Paul’s boy is so in love with. 

That’s one wrong put right, at least for the moment.

One more to go.

Sean smiles and sips his cooling coffee.

Wiggity wiggity

The Christmas monster in me wakes up once every decade

I know, I know, homie, it's rare, I hear you complaining

So in the herd better, I'm not alone here today

It's Elephant, D.O.D., you bitch, freak out like Kurdistan

Fuck you in borscht, the ax flies straight into your mouth

A choir of aborted children sings Christmas carols from the toilet

You shine all over Chernobyl, for fuck you a Christmas tree

Take a break, take it easy, Bill Cosby will grab a drink

It's a sick Christmas atmosphere, it won't be the first star

Your kid is driving into the crystal like snowdrifts

It's great, you see if Santa has already arrived

In the sky instead of him, the three-headed King Ghidorah

A werewolf in an Elf costume for your sister at night

First he breaks off, then makes a vagina out of the head

This EP is going to fuck you up, so be lucky

There will be no surprises like Bruce Jenner on Father's Day

"You can't do that during Christmas" - I can fucking do anything

Rudolph overdosed, snout foam, disco sick

Hey girl, I know you like dinosaurs so

Your father is going to fuck the AIDS pterodactyl today

What bad luck, let the mold eat your teeth

And the whole planet was covered in cold darkness

I wish you would bleed out through your genitals

The Elephant wishes you a happy apocalypse, and a

No, no, no hope

Earth, earth, earth will stand today

This is, this is a sick Christmas

Centipede crawls out of his mouth again

No, no, no hope

Earth, earth, earth will stand today

This is, this is a sick Christmas

Centipede crawls out of his mouth again

Ay yo, what is this? Dope D.O.D. and Słoń

Black Christmas, Santa Claus wanna mack on all suspicious

Tippy-toe in yo 'booth like a lizard

Niggas can't hear me, can't see me, can't even come close

Sniffin 'all the snow, Santa Claus, never cope

Livin 'on the dope, as the story unfolds

Bitch get my coat, it's' bout time to unload

No fucking presents

All you see is blood raining down from heaven

Government pet like Eleven I'm a felon

Boy you better tell 'em I'mma fuck' em up like Slevin

Lucky number seven, when it's Christmas - I'm Kevin

You can hear the bells ring when we step in

Chainsaw revvin 'when we comin' for your parents

Red nose in the red snow, drinking red rum

Bitch sucking on my mistletoe

No, no, no hope

Earth, earth, earth will stand today

This is, this is a sick Christmas

Centipede crawls out of his mouth again

No, no, no hope

Earth, earth, earth will stand today

This is, this is a sick Christmas

Centipede crawls out of his mouth again

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way

Your bitch jiggles balls, and she takes it all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride my dick on Christmas day

Crashing through the snowman, Santa's on the way

I push it down the cliff, on the one horse open sleigh

Blood is gonna rain, dear bodily decay

Ho ho, oh no, Brain Dead Elephant

The Dope and the logo, ghost in the photo

I walk around with breath like a hobo

Big white beard and a bright red polo

It's father Christmas, fuck you wishless

I pour Guinness and leave your chimney with a corpse in it

Coarse blizzards, you'll sure shiver the gore spitters

No worries, cause your innards are worn with us

And we going all winter with this one

Drip, drip, drip - that's a skull when we split one

Big fun

(No no no hope)

(Earth, earth, earth will stand today)

(These are, these are sick Christmas)

(Centipede crawls out of his mouth again)

Xmas 2019 by Słoń, Dope D.O.D. 🖕🏽

Summary: Harry’s having it all, now that the unpleasantries of being treated like a loose cannon is gone: the war is well over, and Voldemort is long dead. He’s made the choice to stay in B, an unplottable magical town in Northern Italy, whose protection wards had kept him in one piece at the height of the second wizarding war, and whose seclusion provides him with the quiet, normal life that he now lives. Harry adores the grassy hills that enclose B like the warm arm of a mother; Likes playing the grand piano from dawn to dusk; Cherishes his current life, on the whole. He gets himself Mocaccino every morning and sometimes has dinner with the Weasleys at their cottage nearby. With the majority of his friends and family falling in love with B and gradually settling down as well, Harry feels like this is the last place he would ever want to leave. To say that the arrival of a certain wizard—a razor-sharp, infuriating blond—makes anything remotely different for Harry would be absurd, of course.

Draco opened his mouth to let her know, they would indeed kill each other, but before he could say anything, she continued, “What if it turned into a lovely business?” . “There’s only one way to know,” Potter said. “I really think this is a good idea, Draco."

Episode Review- The Real Ghostbusters: Victor the Happy Ghost

Got another Slimer centric episode here. It’s not too bad, but it relies on a trope that that I never really liked.

It opens with the Ghostbusters in the middle of a job at a local science museum.  At least, I’m guessing it’s a science museum, as they pass by a dinosaur skeleton at one point, and there’s a moment where Ray observes they’re in a planetarium.  For some reason, Slimer has decided to tag along on this one, which does lead to a moment where Peter mistakes him for the ghost they’re currently chasing.  Ray ends up chastising Peter when he complains that Slimer is being a nuisance, stating that he’d just hurt Slimer’s feelings. Though I have to admit I’m with Peter on this one.  If you’re going to be hunting a ghost, it’s probably not the best idea to bring your pet ghost along.  You could easily find yourself in a similar situation that they got into in Alien, where they were trying to track down the Xenomorph only to find out they were actually following the heat signature of Jones, the crew’s cat.  In any event, Ray gives Slimer the task of helping them locate the renegade ghost. Eventually, Slimer does help them corner the ghost in the aquarium wing of the museum.   Upon seeing the ghost they’ve been chasing, Ray remarks on how cute the little ghost is, voicing his reluctance on catching him.  But Peter reminds Ray that the museum did offer to pay them $5,000 for this job, so the ghost is promptly trapped.  Though Winston also voices his dissatisfaction over this, saying he feels like a bully for trapping the cute little ghost. Nevertheless, they leave and head back the Firehouse.

Upon arriving at the Firehouse, there’s a brief moment where Slimer gets scared by Janine, who is wearing a facial mask. Because I guess she decided to give herself a facial while the guys were out.  Ray ends up dropping the Ghost Trap when Slimer zooms by him when he’s reacting to the sight of Janine’s facial mask, resulting in the cute ghost getting out. Janine also remarks on how cute this new ghost is, and before long, it’s decided that the Ghostbusters will simply allow the cute ghost to live in the Firehouse as well.  Janine even decides to name him Victor, after her equally cute nephew.  (Um… are you talking about that bratty nephew of yours that we met in Janine’s Day Off?  The one who was running around with the water gun and pestering the cat?  Because I would hardly call that kid cute.)

And this is where the episode begins using that trope I’m not a fan of.  Victor immediately starts causing all sort of mischief around the Firehouse, and everyone instantly blames Slimer.  It starts when Victor proceeds to fiddle around with one of the machines in Egon’s lab, causing an overload.  But because Slimer got a bit fried when trying to chase Victor away from the control panel, Egon instantly concludes that Slimer was the one messing around and scolds him, turning a deaf ear to Slimer when he tried to profess his innocence.  And this pattern goes on for a bit.  When Victor eats all the doughnuts, Janine yells at Slimer for not leaving her the last jelly-filled.  And when Victor causes the hood of the Ecto-1 to fall on top of Ray while he was working under the hood, Ray instantly blames Slimer when the green ghost comes to his rescue.  Eventually, Slimer has enough of this and starts chasing after Victor, finally cornering him in Winston’s bed as he was trying to get some sleep.  Hearing the commotion, the others all come in, with Winston speculating that Slimer was simply jealous of Victor.  Egon then scolds both Slimer and Victor, announcing they’ll be placed into the Containment Unit if they can’t behave themselves.  (Well, at least Egon was also including Victor in that reprimand.)

A little later on, Victor is down in the garage bay.  There, he apparently reveals he can see through doors because he notices a spare Ghost Trap in one of the Ghostbusters’ lockers.  He tries to open the locker door, but struggles to do so.  And that’s when Victor reveals his true colors.  As Slimer enters the room and witnesses Victor trying to get into the locker, Victor transforms from a cute little ghost into a larger, scarier looking form.  The sight of Victor’s transformation naturally frightens Slimer, but when he tries to get away, Victor spots him and grabs him before he could get away.  With Slimer firmly in his grasp, Victor manages to rip the door of the locker clean off and takes the Ghost Trap, using it to trap Slimer inside.

Unfortunately, while the Ghostbusters did hear the commotion, Victor manages to return the now loaded Ghost Trap into the locker, force the locker door back in place and turn back into his cute form before anyone could come in to investigate, effectivly covering his tracks. While they do notice Slimer isn’t present, they simply accept Victor’s word that he doesn’t know where Slimer is and apparently decide to forget about figuring out what all that noise was. Instead, Egon asks Victor to come with him so he could conduct some tests on the little ghost.

Later on at dinner, Winston observes that he hasn’t seen Slimer in hours.  But Peter and Janine seem to find this to be a pleasant change.  Which did take me by surprise.  While I get while Peter would have this attitude, due to his characteristic love-hate relationship with Slimer, it’s a bit strange that Janine seems to be of the same mind about it.  At the very least, I’d think she would be a bit concerned, wondering if he was getting into some sort of trouble elsewhere in the city. That’s when a call comes in about a standard poltergeist in Tribecca.  So the Ghostbusters head off in the Ecto-1, with Victor inviting himself along.  (And Peter saying he’s hoping to be back in time for The Bob Newhart Show.)  After they leave, Janine hears noises coming from the lockers, which leads to her noticing the broken locker door.  When she goes to check it out, she finds the Ghost Trap that Slimer was trapped inside and concludes that one of the Ghostbusters simply forgot to empty the Ghost Trap in the Containment Unit.  So she takes it upon herself to complete the task herself.  Thankfully, for Slimer’s sake, Slimer manages to make the Ghost Trap bounce out of the loading hatch before Janine could pull the switch.  (Wait, a ghost can actually make the Ghost Trap come loose?  Wonder why none of the other ghosts they’ve caught have tried that.)  When the Ghost Trap hits the floor, it opens again, freeing Slimer.  He proceeds to tell Janine how Victor was the one who put him in the Ghost Trap and practically pulls her back upstairs to warn the Ghostbusters upon being told that Victor had gone off with them.

Elsewhere, the Ghostbusters and Victor are currently on their way back to the Firehouse.  It turns out the call about a poltergeist had just been a false alarm, and the shaking dishes in the old lady’s home was simply being caused by a passing subway train.  (And that is why professional ghost hunters in real life will encourage you to look for all possible rational explanations for seemingly supernatural activity before starting to blame ghosts.)  As they continue to drive back, Ray gets a call from Janine on the car phone.  When Victor overhears Ray’s side of the conversation, he realizes that Slimer had gotten free and realizes the jig was pretty much up.  So he flies out of the Ecto-1 and hurries off.  But the Ghostbusters, who still don’t entirely know what’s going on yet, stop the car and follow him.  When Victor gets cornered in an alleyway, he finally reveals his true form to the Ghostbusters.  Naturally, they’re all horrified at seeing Victor’s true self, especially when Victor manages to beat them back to the Ecto-1 and destroys their Proton Packs, preventing the Ghostbusters from using them against him.  So the Ghostbusters have no choice other than run for their lives.

Somehow, even though the Ghostbusters all split up, Victor manages to find and capture each one of them. Though there’s a bit of suspended belief going on here.  For instance, Ray manages to climb up the side of a building using the fire escape, but Victor somehow beats him to the top.  Eventually, Victor has managed to round up all the Ghostbusters in one place. But before he could begin to attack, Janine and Slimer appear in the Ecto-2, coming to their rescue.  With Slimer manning the Ecto-2’s Proton Canon to keep Victor at bay (while probably relishing this chance to get back at Victor for everything he’d put him through), Janine parachutes some more Proton Packs down to the Ghostbusters.  Although, we only see her sending down one Proton Pack, but it then shows all four of the Ghostbusters have new Proton Packs.  Either Janine sent down three more off-screen or the continuity checker fell asleep.  

Either way, Victor is soon captured (with Slimer personally trapping him) and placed into the Containment Unit. The episode then ends with the Ghostbusters trying to show how sorry they are for not listening to Slimer earlier and automatically blaming him for the things Victor did by tossing him food and fanning him.  And it’s clear that Slimer is milking this for all its worth.

So, I guess the moral of the story is to not automatically assume cute is the same as harmless.  Though if you hadn’t already learned that from watching Gremlins, you probably never will.  And like I mentioned before, I really don’t like that whole trope of people automatically blaming the wrong person for pranks and mishaps caused by someone else. Especially when they don’t give the accused person the chance to set the record straight.  And it was particularly frustrating here.  Because while it’s clear that Slimer can be a bit of a nuisance at times, you would think the Ghostbusters would know that Slimer wouldn’t mess around with Egon’s machines, and he would never prank Ray like that.  But they just automatically refuse to even consider the possibility that Victor, a ghost they know nothing about, is purely innocent simply because he’s cute.  That’s just really frustrating to me.

Devil may cry headcanons

You know I wasn't expecting you put a lot of Kyrie stuff in this one but I couldn't help it. Also there's dadgil in here because I really love it, sorry for no young Dante and Vergil I'm running out of ideas since I can't remember most of my childhood. Also for those who are interested, I’m thinking of starting taking request/ask for headcanons and writing, possibly drawing but their not the best, but I need to work stuff out at the moment.

Sometimes when Vergil has a mission near Nero and Kyrie, he stops by their house

The first time he did this was shocking to Nero, not only was Vergil there, but V and Urizen was there too, and it was going to be extremely ridiculous to explain this to Kyrie

And he knew how this was go and how she is protective over Nero since losing her brother and nearly losing Nero.

"Nero, who's at the... door", " Oh, um Kyrie I would like to introduce you to my dad, er … Dads?", "Your, Dads?", "Look its complicated and a long story, anyway this is my main Dad, Vergil, he's kind of nice but doesn't really talk that much. This is my dad's human half, V, he's nice, likes poems and has animals, strange one that is. And lastly is my dads demon half, um I'm not sure if he's nice or not since he raised the demon tree", "Oh that's nice, by the way which one was the one that hurt you", "Wait, Kyrie, No!"

Nero has to hold Kyrie back from trying to attack Vergil, mostly for her safety. Of course she doesn't forgive Vergil at first, because of what he has done and while she gives off a nice demeanor, her glares and scowls are anything buy warm and welcoming. Which Vergil approves of Kyrie dating Nero, having someone who will fight for you instead of turning tail when something bad happens

After a while Kyrie finally forgives Vergil, because she shouldn't hold grudges that are already in the past, and to move on. But she does tell him that if he were to do something like this again she would not hesitate to hurt him, and Vergil knowing that it would be impossible for her to hurt him agrees. And the tension is finally gone and she is more welcoming to him. Which is great for Nero's case since he felt like he was being smothered in between all their glaring and the tension.

Kyrie also makes apple pie when Vergil visits, since apples are one of his favorite fruits and because the one time he visit she made some for the orphans and she asked if he would like a slice and at first he said no, but soon gave in and had a slice, well maybe two or three but he wont admit to it.

He will also go grocery shopping with her when he has free time and Nero is busy, only to help find ingredients for new food Kyrie wants to try, and to get to know each other better.

On holidays when Vergil and Nero will help Kyrie cook some of the food. Sometimes Dante will try to sneak some sweets only for his hand to be hit by a spatula as Kyrie tells him, he needs to wait or he'll spoil his dinner. In which Dante's pouting, Nero and Nico are giggling, and Vergil is smirking.

Nero has Kyrie fix his jackets when he comes back from missions sometimes, normally he will tell her he doesn't want to put work on her, but she wants to do something nice for him. She also teachers Nero how to sew and stitch so when there are days she can't fix he can do it himself, which took a while but he got it down and not only does he fox his jacket but also helps make clothing for some of the kids, sure his stitching or sewing not the best but they love it nonetheless. Kyrie has also has sewn cat like ears on one of Nero jackets without him knowing until Dante was laughing at him, he chewed him out but still kept the ears on his hoodie because he likes it.

Kyrie got Nero into cooking and remodeling house shows, sometimes he’ll turn it on just to see how the house changed and kind of debated on doing it with their house. What surprised him was the time he came into the living room where the tv was and saw Kyrie watching crime investigator shows, saying she finds its interesting about how they solve the problems, which Nero also got into, along with most of the kids.

The kids will dog pile both Dante and Vergil, Dante loves it, play fighting with the kids and stuff. Vergil on the other hand he doesn’t expect it and isn’t used to the contact, so he gets stiff and weirded out.

Dadgil

He got a school suspension, because well doing his first judgement cut on an apple sitting on a desk while cutting the apple but also the desk was something he wasn't supposed to do, and also because there not supposed to bring weapons to school

Nero had brought the Yamato, Cerberus, Nevan, and Agni & Rudra to his school show and tell, because he want to knock the socks off the kids who brought in pets, toys, or food from a different country

Vergil was frustrated that he had gotten a call from the school that his son brought weapons to school and was being suspended because of it and was mad that Dante let the Nero bring the weapons to school in the first place because it was Dante’s day to take the kid to school and he was busy

He was proud that Nero had done a judgment cut for the first time even if it was tiny and told him not to do this again.

Nero technically has two dads. Vergil and V, he loves when V visits him because of his strange pets, and the way he acts, he's mysterious but kind and loves his poems

Nero will not sleep unless V or Vergil reads him something be it a poem or story, and will try to stay up when Vergil is out on a mission. Being read to helps Nero sleep

On that subject of sleeping, Nero has frequent nightmares. It might be something he has gotten from Vergil, but there will be times where Nero leaves his bed and walks to his dad's room asking if he can sleep in bed with him, and half awake Vergil will agree. Sometimes Vergil will softly sing to Nero because after his nightmares it takes him a while to get back to sleep, and god forbid if Dante heard him singing he knows that he will not let him live this down.

Nero wanted to learn an instrument because his dad knows how to play a violin, and his uncle knows how to play both the drums and guitar. Though the problem was he didn't know which one to go with, there was many to choose from, he kind of stuck with a trombone since it slides a lot and the style is kind of it is great, also he can get away with spitting on Dante.

Nero has only two fears, spirits/ghost and frogs. Its mostly Dante's fault for letting Nero watch paranormal horror movies at night. And Nero doesn't know why he is afraid of frogs, maybe its the way they look or something he doesn't know nor care.

When he was at the park with Nico and Kyrie, did his fear of frogs really show. They were over by the pond and Nico comes over to Nero with the frog in her hand, only for him to scream and start running, while Nico chase after him giggling. Kyrie was also giggling watching Nero run from Nico was too funny.

Nero also begged his dad and uncle for a pet, he didn't care what it was as long as its not a frog. Dante was close to getting Nero a hellhound or Cerberus, but Vergil literally had to stab smack some sense in his brother. They decided on ferret, they didn't want a cat or bird because V has one and they weren't sure if its territorial or not. Hamster and Guinea pigs are tiny and live I cates not much fun there same with Lizards. Dogs are a hassle and no one wants to clean up after it, so a Ferret is what they decided on.

Nero absolutely loves it and its a noddle he can wrap it around his neck and wiggle the creature. He decided on naming it Furret cause it looked like the Pokémon and he couldn't think of anything else

Every year for fathers day Nero will try and make Vergil something, he's make weird cup looking thing that you cant drink out of it because of holes, macaroni art, drawings, cards filled with glitter galore, paper hats, the list goes on and on. But he tried making those flower thing Dante makes, he asked him how he did it and Dante responds it comes to him naturally which doesn't help at all. So he tries only for nothing to appear to his disappointment, he tries and tries until he gets the tiniest and wimpy looking thing. But happily gives it to his dad who really appreciates it.

Vergil's refrigerator is covered with child like drawings given to him from Nero, he loves them and encourages Nero to do more and that he will be the greatest artist.

When Nero first met Patty was the same day Dante was given the mission to babysit her. She was kind of bratty and annoying at first and he didn't like that she would take all of Dante's attention. They argued a lot and Dante would yell at them to stop because it was giving him a headache and they should try to get along. After having to take Patty to retrieve her family money he did start to get along with her and they started to both annoy Dante together.

Nero absolutely loves dinosaurs and has loads of toys of them, and when he was going to the Zoo with Vergil he told him he was excited to see Dinosaurs there. Only for Vergil to tell them that there aren't any dinosaurs at the zoo. (This happened to a friend of mine).

Trish and Lady likes to take Nero out shopping, normally he doesn’t mind going with them, as long as he gets something out of it. Poor Dante and his debt when he finds out how much stuff they bough for Nero

Dante watching Nero while Vergil out can lead to many, many, different ways, and Vergil dreads all of them. Dante could feed Nero only sweets and junk food instead normal healthy food, Dante could probably lose Nero somewhere be it the park or his own damn shop, Dante could probably get Nero in danger because of the demons that show up to his shop and destroys it.

Nero does get into a lot of fights at school, half of them are kids making fun of him others are he’s a hard head and doesn’t let go of grudges. The school is very frustrated in how Nero always gets into these fights, but are nervous of his dad, because of his stubbornness and how he knows that half the time its not Nero’s fault. Like one time a teacher and Nero argued about how Demons do exist and how his dad, uncle, and two aunts go out and defeat. It resulted Nero getting embarrassed in front of the class and being sent to the office and a very angry Vergil that nearly killed the teacher.

“I just came from r/196” ask game

Saw another post. I think I should invite y'all to one of our longstanding traditions. Answer the questions then tag 10 (or more) people. I'll go first.

Name? Frankie

Pronouns and gender? he/they/it, transmasc

Sexuality? Lesbian

Country? USA

Top 5 fandoms? Bungou Stray Dogs, Cosmere, All for the Game, Fundiesnark (not a series but I'm too deep in it to not consider it a fandom), .....the tornado fandom? (they're my special interest)

What is your Most forbidden snack? The preserved bones at the Atlanta Bodies Exhibition. They looked so crunchy...

Would you pet a bug? If it's big enough, it is pettable.

Share a weird fact/story about yourself with the class. I like to drive around rural areas and photograph old, sometimes abandoned locations in the dead of night. I have been literally chased out of towns by foot and by car on two separate occasions. The second time this happened, "See You Again" by Miley Cyrus came up on shuffle and that's the soundtrack my friend and I tore out of town to. Also every "guy" I've dated except for my most recent ex (who has big egg energy) is a lesbian now.

What does the color blue taste like? Creme brulee

What is the most beautiful thing you've ever seen? The appalachian mountains of Tennessee in the middle of summer. There's kudzu everywhere. On the backroads, there were several old, dilapidated Baptist churches barely hanging to the side of the mountain. I wonder how many of them were still in use.

What is the stupidest thing you've ever done? Short version: my friend's house almost got broken into by this dude who'd been stalking us for months while we were home alone. Instead of calling the cops, we decided to confront him with a bow and arrow (me), a hatchet, and a baseball bat (him). The plan was that if it went badly, we would simply throw his corpse into one of the many lakes in the neighborhood and let the alligators eat his remains (this was Florida). Why? Because we were afraid of having our home-alone privileges revoked. Luckily for us all, the guy fucked off and we never saw him again.

Stupidest thing you've seen/heard someone else do/say? My ex thought that Jackalopes were real. Also, a nurse I was doing rotations with apparently thought that "Witness Protection" was for Jehovah's Witnesses.

Hyperfixation song? Young Enough + Bleach by Charly Bliss

Is there any meaning behind your profile picture and/or username? Profile pic; I'm transmasc and I'm currently obsessed with TriStamp. Username; It was my fake internet name when I was like 13. I won't change it because I want my mutuals to recognize me, and because I do have a viral post associated with this name.

Dream career as a child? Doctor (funnily enough I'm now in nursing school)

Dream career as an adult? Professional Jester. Not a comedian. I just want to be some weird little guy who dresses silly and you can hire me to roast your boss at work parties.

Thoughts on cilantro? Delicious

Have you ever been banned from a location and if so, why? I honestly can't remember? Probably... but in recent memory I've mainly banned people from places.

What is your cursed food combination? Pineapple on a hotdog with grilled onions. It Slaps.

Trans rights? TRANS RIGHTS
