Catholic MC Gets Sent Into Hell?! Not Clickbait! (part one)
introduction, part one, part two, part three
warnings: light swearing, religious theme(s), GN (though implied AFAB mc, they/them pronouns used.)
It's implied that MC knows prayers in irish,idk how to word that but😭😭
(i'm new to writing so i dont think i'm too good at characterisation yet)
A strangled scream rips itself from their throat as they lurch downwards into what can only be described as an abyss, the plastic river rock bottle and their phone almost rip themselves from their blazer, MC grips onto them for dear life, the only familiar things in this vacuum of darkness.
The fear almost paralyzes them, and through their years of catholic conditioning, MC does the only thing they can think to do, they pray. Muttering out a prayer to the Patron Saint of Protection, Archangel Michael, MC finds theirself falling onto cold, tiled ground in some bastardisation of wonderland.
They almost sigh in relief, if not for the group of people they catch in their peripherals, on their knees MC looks around, pulling their school skirt further down, it unrolls slightly from where it was rolled at the waist. MC lends wide eyes to the 8 men around the....court room...? They're met with a range of reactions. A man with hair red as blood stands, his arms extended out at his sides in some sort of attempt to be welcoming, to his right is a stoic, though calmly smiling man with green ombre-esque hair. Arguably the most unsettling of the two.
Nevertheless, MC looks to the 6 others in the room, their instincts going haywire, a blond with eyes so green they could be neon, a beautiful man-not that the rest weren't-with hair that reminded MC of the rose coloured shloer they'd get to drink at Christmas.
A man with...indigo? hair...MC was never good with colours, but it didn't matter as he was more focused on his gameboy and glaring at the tan white haired man who looked like the epitome of chaos than them. MC could live with that. They could also live with not having seen the ginger inhale a cake whole, but that was by far the least strange thing that had happened. Then they set their eyes upon the last man of the group, standing to the left hand side of the red-haired brown skinned man, a brunet, or would it be more fitting to say noirette? MC didn't know, either way his hair was black as night, with the slightest hint of silver....or was it grey? Either way, he meets their gaze with his crimson eyes. MC's breath hitches. Falling, only to land in an emo pinterest board looking courtroom with a bunch of men, all of which with strange hair and eyes? They needed to leave.
The man with scarlet hair begins to talk, "Hello MC and welcome to the Devil-"
"Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy na-" MC begins to mutter, their eyes shut tight. The tension in the room grows thicker, they can no longer hear the game on the indigo haired man's gameboy, he must've shut it off.
"Lucifer....What's the human doing?" Scarlethead man asks hesitantly, the name spurs MC on, their prayer ups an octave, "By kingdom come, thy will be done-"
"-Praying. It looks like, Diavolo." A sadistic sounding voice responds, offence dripping in this 'Lucifer's' tone.
"-on earth as it is in heaven-"
"-Oh."
MC drowns out the squabble that begins between these...demons. They pray over and over again, the fighting only continues as they get started into the ten Hail Marys.
"Sé do bheatha a Mhuire, atá-"
A new voice joins in. "Ohh?~ What's with the strange words? That doesn't sound like latin."
A sigh can be heard afterwards, "Neither was the praying in English, Asmo. Besides, humans pray in all of their languages now."
"Really?"
"Feck."
Now that gets MC to stop praying and to look up in surprise at the sound of the voice, "Of course demons can be Irish. Of fucking course." They mutter before meeting several pairs of eyes and immediately lowering their head and muttering once more.
"Satan! You visited humans way more t-than us! D-do something!" MC doesn't hear the chain of responses, only picking up, 'worthless otaku like me!' and 'i'm not a human whisperer!'
The name Satan though....
"Saint Michael the Archangel! Defend us in battle!-"
"-Michael?" The strict tone says aloud. Tension was growing thicker.
"-Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil!-"
"-now thats just mean!"
"-Yeah! Human who do ye think yer messin' with?-"
"-May God rebuke him we humbly pray!-"
"My Lord, would you like me to fetch Simeon?"
"That would be a good idea!" The scarlet haired demon, the 'Lord' says, there's laughter? in his voice though.
"-And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host!-"
Silence takes over the room. Until it doesn't.
"Hmm?~ Wasn't that Lucifer's role?"
"W-whaa?! Don't bring that up! He l-looks like he's about to rage quit during a campaign!"
"Diavolo. How long will Barbatos be in fetching Simeon." That annoyed, stern voice asks, although it's less of a question and more of an order. That must be Lucifer.
"-bY the Power of GOd, cast into hell SataN! And all-"
Snickering can be heard.
"L plus Ratio plus ROFL!"
"Shut up Levi." A voice hisses.
"-other eVIL Spirits who pROwl around the wORLD seeking the ruin of souls!"
"Uhhh...*munch* why's the human glowing?"
...
"nevermind."

LADIES, GENTLEMEN AND FELLOW CONTORTIONS OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT, i present to you 9 drawing requests with accompanying commentary...
request one:
honestly its not a crime but they are criminally curious to learn the rich history of Dallas in 1963! i mean arent you curious, you should google what happened there on november 22nd!!!
request number 2:
OH BABY you know i love making people feel :( my most popular post is characters crying so i was supposed to have fun with it but 3 people hugging - dude, i was no the verge of insanity and in the end pearl just kinda got swallowed up and disappeared.
[[7 MORE UNDER CUT!!]]
request tres:
coming from the last drawing i was still on the 'lmao get sad' bandwagon, and simon and athena they have lived through somethings so once again i drew people crying :D so heres a drawing of little athena and her goth uncle having a nice little hug and nothing ever went wrong
request četiri:
by now everyone should know that my favourite AU is these two bastards meeting before phoenix became a lawyer; ya know so he doesnt need to break his back trying to learn law as an art student - not that he learns much as he doesnt know what a cross examination is in his first case,,
request pénte:
this request marked the second day of drawing.
now,, i might have not read the request before i drew sooo i kinda just drew them taking a selfies at a steel samurai con so i kindly edited the second drawing to contain a peace sign. [the plush is the hellish creature named the iron infant [from AAI i think] and i bet its like the worst character in the franchise and these two will definitely burn it when they get home]
request numero sześć:
now i swore to never post kissing on here so i spare myself of the cringw when i look back later, so just dont read the first half and enjoy the way i found out you cant really draw flicking without making a comic. like the motion is so small yet so powerful how do you draw that?!?!?!?!?!? this looked miles better in my brain...
request shtatë:
you know what else is like rocks? big frozen chunks of ice, like the one here :D
RIP LMAO
request huit:
ah the t4t to end all t4ts. ron is definitely a guy to fall at first sight and bro desiree is the definition of girlboss
also people forget that larry was rons coworker and i need more content of those two because they are just wildly opposite
[edit: ''sir are good'' HUH??? brother i need to go to sleep and just not draw for the next millenia]
now we have arrived at the end of our trip...
you may be thinking "yellow, you said that there were 9 drawings!"
YES, but no.. theres probably a reason behind this but when i opened my inbox and saw this was like a game character who was stun locked. i mean look at this, aka request number NINE:
love ya to death, babes, but please get some rest because i think you forgot to write in the characters you wanted to see. despite that i decided to draw what you requested:
now just imagine whichever characters you waant in those places! wait was your request an investment so you can have an infinite amount of ships inserted into this pose???
anywho, ummmmm.. yeah Now we have reached the end - but do not fear, im not dying or going away. im still going to be here on my ace attorney bullshit as long as my brain can stand.
sadly i have to say GOODNIGHT, LADIES, GENTLEMEN AND FELLOW CONTORTIONS OF THE HUMAN SPIRIT. may we meet once again when the planets align and it rains in the greatest depths of the ocean o7

ofmd s2e1 rewatch where i pause to jot down my thoughts and other random shit
not quite a reaction post bc i've already watched the whole thing. not quite a liveblog bc it's one post and it's probably gonna take me a full hour to get through a 28 minute episode at the rate of pausing and typing i'll be doing
s2e1, s2e2, s2e3, s2e4, s2e5, s2e6, s2e7, s2e8
anyway, pirate time:
i love how much fun con is having choking on his own blood
dream!stede's extremely teary face right before he takes off running down the beach is doing psychic damage to me
also dream!stede's stupid ridiculous outfit with all the long ribbons and shit...
ed and stede make contact so hard shjfkhsgjkfd the loud OUGH sounds from both of them
also the return of ed's old beard! i didnt expect to see her at all this season, so that was a surprise.
"babe" "love" im tearing out my own hair
stede has yet to learn that ripping ass near your beloved can be a love language
stede is a terrible fucking roommate just deal with wee john's gas in silence like the rest of them. goddamn.
WHO HAS THE OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH TRAMP STAMP. WHO IS THAT.
i like when the background OST is familiar to me lol the little strings when stede starts his letter throwing me back to s1
olu: that–that's the swede
the swede: Im the swede
roach: he's single ;)
me: *pissing my pants with laughter*
also the direct confirmation that the swede literally doesn't have a name. incredible
shjkfhdhfkj the crew encouraging him. stede's "it's okay" and roach "be brave" im CRYINGGGGG
stede doing customer service is something that can be so personal. "reservation?" "eat my fuckin' shit" "right! walk-ins, then" average restaurant experience
the random background guy saying "my favorite hand!" abt getting stabbed in the hand is making me giggle. i love the humor on this show
why does stede have so much shoulder movement going on when he's walking through the bar. whore behavior.
"this is for mom!" sorry but i want to know more abt whatever's going on there
also the purple mohawk. dope.
buttons is so distressed LET HIM RETURN TO THE SEA THESE CONDITIONS ARE INHUMANE
"i know the odds of you finding this are slim but so were the odds of us finding each other in the first place" IM RIPPING OFF MY OWN SKIN
also stede's lil sad hopeful smile after throwing the bottle... i care him
i love how they make this wedding fucking suck so we don't feel too bad abt the whole massacre thing. "the natural condition of humanity is base and vile. it is the obligation of people of standing, such as yourselves, to elevate the common human rabble through the sacred transaction of matrimony" if i was at a wedding and the officiant said that i'd also start killing people probably
yayy murder montage :)
FANG BREAKING THAT GUY'S SPINE OVER HIS KNEE
the whole cake scene is so fucking funny im sorry. i love u jim drawing the line at attacking a shitty wedding. i love u archie who wasn't here for the good old days so you dont really see a problem with how things are. i love u frenchie with ur box in ur brain that u never open again. i love u fang it's gonna get better i swear. i love u frenchie again bc u just took the cake right out of fang's hands while he was fucking sobbing hfjhgkjhdkjkf
I MISS IVAN JUSTICE FOR IVAN. wish they could've said he'd just fucked off somewhere instead of dying but i think that would've raised the question of why hasn't anyone else fucked off since they all seem so miserable
very relieved that stede isn't taking the racist/antisemitic caricature drawings of ed to make like a boyfriend scrapbook like some people were theorizing. would've been overkill if after episode 4 from last season stede still didn't realize that ed hated these sorts of depictions of him.
INTERESTING DETAIL THO the background music in this scene is "a pirate's life" aka the song frenchie sang in the pilot. it's an instrumental version obviously but yeah i recognize that tune
also more cool background ppl with dyed hair man i love this show
zheng yi sao flirting with olu is so good. he deserves it.
how nice of ed to offer his drugs to the crew. sharing is caring.
also it's so funny to me that the thing izzy is tormented by is ed saying "you can't do the job, someone else will" the toe thing's happened three times and apparently that was fine but the thing the show edits together right before izzy breaks down into the most pathetic aheemheem whimpers isn't any of that it's ed threatening to fire him
also they cut ed throwing knives at izzy!! what the hell.
releasing the clip of izzy crying kinda ruined it for me when it came time to watch it in the show bc i watched it several times since it dropped and now seeing it in context i was like "ok i've seen this already fast forward." i mean i didnt fast forward through it but i did kinda zone out bc i've seen this bit already. this post kinda sums up my thoughts on it
"trifling ingrate plan" dshkjfshgdskhfjkhgkjh
"SEMI-CLEAN WATER"
JACKIE CALLING THE SWEDE "BOO CAKES"
"i know that guy we had breakfast together!" "you'll be having a lot of breakfasts-es together" "oh, okay" i fucking love this whole dynamic like i can tell they're writing the swede out of most of the episodes for budget reasons (sorry nat faxon) but by god do they give him such an excellent fucking send-off. can't wait to see him again when he's in his trophy husband number 20 era
roach is upset abt not being able to cook, buttons is tied up so he doesn't go running back to the sea (i assume). stede you are not giving your crew the environment they need to thrive.
olu being an optimist :)
buttons opens his mouth to drink the rain and in the background u can see roach yanking the rope around buttons back fhdjskgfjhgkjfh STEDE YOUR SEA WITCH CANNOT THRIVE IN THESE CONDITIONS
stede tries to make things sound good in his bottle letters to ed but out loud he says his actual insecurities... it's so fucking tasty tho that he thinks ed could be doing better without him and THAT'S why he's been stalling so much. not afraid for his life even a little bit he just assumes he's not wanted. brb i have to cry now
"im sorry if that's a little bit creepy" "you are creepy" in this scene where they're soaked from the rain. ofmd said this prince ricky guys is creepy and wet.
stede's fucking FACE when prince ricky says "you're my hero" his fucking "clearly you dont own an air fryer" face I CANT STAND HIMMMMMM (affectionate)
prince ricky "these rubes" "men of our standing" yeah i cant fucking stand this guy (derogatory) i love how he's barely even in this episode
stede's face when the swede is talking abt how happy he is with jackie... my man believes in love so much im gonna cry
also in what fucking way does the swede owe them a life debt. roach and buttons literally tried to eat him
izzy's "you know me better than anyone knows me and i daresay the same about you" this is literally so false i dont even know where to begin. izzy in e6 being like "if i didnt know any better i'd think maybe ed might possibly maybe be actually enjoying bonnet's company" while ed and stede are giggling and making each other friendship bracelets. this guy doesn't know ed at all.
also i cant get over how izzy wont make eye contact he's like staring blankly into the middle distance delivering these lines so flatly until he goes to say "i have... love for you" and in that moment he looks like he'd rather ed were feeding him more toes.
"im worried about you, we all are" not gonna lie my dude you've had a weird way of showing it thus far. where was all that worry when you told him he was better off dead than wearing a robe and singing songs?? where was that fucking love then?
and NOW izzy wants to talk it through. izzy literally voted to make blackbeard great again and now he wants to give open communication a chance???
lmao there's a limit to how many characters can be in a bulleted list so here's fucking. part two. on the same post:
ed asking everyone if the vibe is poisonous and fang cant stop crying and ed's face is just like "eh good enough" im fdhksgfkjtdkh
anyway ed with a loaded gun under his chin talking to himself is hurting me so fucking much actually. ed my beloved babygirl for whom i would die. this poor traumatized man. yes he is making this workplace toxic as hell but god. GOD. im gonna throw up.
the way ed is so fucking casual about shooting izzy in the leg. just calm and jovial as he promotes frenchie to first mate. stepping over izzy all crumpled on the floor. everything about this is so fucking good. i mean it's horrible for ed and everyone around him but for me watching the show this shit is DELICIOUS. i love when the pirates get violent and unhinged i love when this shit gets fucked up. ed's mental state is so bad right now and it is causing me severe anguish but also it is so tasty. fuck.
anyway frenchie trying to turn down the promotion fhjkghdfjkhf
the cut to the swede performing the husbandly duties is INSANE. COMPLETE TONAL WHIPLASH. I LOVE THIS SHOW.
"fuck those hammies up!" spanish jackie i love you
black pete why are you so fucking loud AND WHY WOULD YOU JIX IT LIKE THAT???
why is prince ricky so small. he's like a full head shorter than stede. also this guy is insufferable i love how stede just fucking abandons him fhjkgdhkdfghkj
"the calf muscle is the most mysterious of alllll the muscles" what the FUCK does that even mean. oh swede i will miss you
NOSE REMOVAL FUCK YES. I LOVE THIS SHOW.
obsessed with the swede playing dumb. the dramatic gasp. "wow, so bad!" fhjsghdkjf
"aint you that soup bitch?" "im the money bitch" i love women.
sfdsjkh spanish jackie being into double-crossing. and slapping the swede's ass on the way out. i love this show
i love how zheng says "this much indigo is worth three times what i paid" while spanish jackie and the husbands are still like, right there. and they just don't hear that bit. incredible.
OUGH the back of jim's weird rope armor looks like a ribcage that's so cool
i love how jim is so fucking bad at telling this story. i love how the monkey's paw comes into it. i love fang asking them to do the voice. i love archie trying to hold back her laughter i love jim and fang giggling together I LOVE THIS SHOW
ed's fucking voice breaking through his whole convo with frenchie. im tearing out my own teeth
HEY DID YOU GUYS KNOW THEY HAVE POST-CREDITS SCENES IN THIS SEASON?????????? WHAT THE HELL
i take back what i said about jim being bad at telling this story their version is so much fucking better. squeaky voice "I pray to you, Dark Lord, to make me real flesh! I want to be real flesh!" IM FUCKING OBSESSED. JIM I WOULD DIE FOR YOU

Request Idea for Scarlet Witch reader! If your interested that is :3
So, idk if your have seen the JJK 0 movie but there is a scene at the end where Gojo confronts Getou and says something and I was wondering if we could get that with Scarlet reader and her partner? Except maybe Gojo and the others witness her say something to him but dont know what she says 👀 it could be a love confession or you could leave it blank with right before Scarlet witch reader finishes him, he gives her a smile?
Maybe even have Scarlet reader walk past Gojo and the others looking almost dead(?) Like her eyes are glazed, blood on her face, head down, ect? Idk how else to describe it 😭 but I have so many ideas and this is just one iv been thinking of 🧍♀️
scarlet witch! fushiguro! reader confronts ex-partner similarly to adoptive dad! gojo with geto
jujutsu kaisen x reader
masterlist of the series | first part
╰➤ CW(s): spoilers for jujutsu kaisen 0, major references to multiverse of madness, and scarlet witch in general, angst
╰➤ PAIRING(s): platonic! jujutsu kaisen x teen! reader
╰➤ SYNOPSIS: in which you, the adoptive child of gojo satoru, the scarlet witch, and the half-younger sibling of fushiguro megumi, repeats his history of having to lose the one who became everything he never wanted to lose.
╰➤ SONG SUGGESTION(s): my tears ricochet and enchanted by taylor swift
there you stood among the debris and broken foundations of buildings and trees left over from the earlier collisions of chaos magic, and cursed energy, gravity in particular.
gojo satoru and the other jujutsu sorcerers who were battered and bruised from earlier's fight watched as you planted your feet on the ground while in mid-air, a small yet gentle turbulent red psionics flowing outwards as you did.
you hung your head low, allowing your [color] locks of hair to fall and cover your face as you walked towards him, whose body had been gravely injured by your final chaos magic attack on him earlier. your steps were heavy and slow as you clutched your bleeding and bruised arm, which was exposed due to tatters on your customized scarlet jujutsu tech uniform.
you were too exhausted to heal yourself with your own abilities. nonetheless, you continued on because you needed to get to him no matter what. even if it broke your heart to see your ex-partner—your partner in such a terrible state as he leaned weakly against a rubble. his black hair was no longer tied in a half-up, half-do; a horrible bleeding dash had been inflicted on him, ripping up his clothes.
as blood dripped down the side of shinya's face, he lifted it and turned to face you, his gray eyes fixed on yours as you stood and loomed over him, where he noticed your expression. it was no surprise that you hung your head low. tears were glistening in your [color] eyes, and that hurt shinya a lot.
shinya wasn't heartless even if he had declared you and the rest of your jujutsu sorcerers family his enemies. he simply buried the feeling away because he had already made his decision. he despised seeing you cry even back then.
"[nickname]," shinya spoke up, his lips curving into a broken smile, "what'cha tearing up for?"
you found yourself clenching your fists, trembling fists to be precise. your knees gradually buckled to the floor, unconcerned that the rough ground would graze and scratch them. shinya furrowed his brows as he slowly extended his hand towards yours, which were flat on your thighs, and that's when he felt your tears fall on the back of his hand.
"you did it, didn't you? you saved the jujutsu sorcerers you considered family from me, the villain, [name]," shinya chuckled softly, shaking his head, "of course you would. you're the scarlet witch. as much as i hate to fucking admit it, you're stronger than me."
"we were supposed to be the strongest together, shin.." you muttered as you clenched your fists even tighter. you were choking on your words, but you held it together and lifted your head to finally face him, locking gazes with his gray eyes—the same ones you loved so much when the two of you first met each other.
but you couldn't find it in yourself right now to adore them. not with shinya's current condition, not when he was dying, and absolutely not when he was staring at you with those eyes.
"go on, [nickname], curse me all you want. it all my fault after all, pretty," shinya intertwined his bloodied and bruised hand in yours.
"how the fuck am i supposed to curse my one and only partner?" your words weren't as venomous as they should have been. in fact, your tone was sullen rather than angry.
shinya's brows drew together, almost sympathetically, but he lets you continue speaking as you shake your head and take a sharp breath of air, "i can't curse you, shinya."
"why?" shinya asked unintelligibly, puzzled and surprised by your choice of words.
shinya's hands were getting colder, and you could feel it as they rose and cupped your warm cheeks. the wind picks up, emphasizing the coldness of his body, and it's only then that you realize your cheeks are wet from tears streaming down your face. your eyes glow a faint red color as they reflect the burning sunset in the background.
"because i love you, hatsuki shinya, and i always have, even back when you left and chose this path. you're my partner—my everything, and it fucking hurts so much," you said with shinya's thumb brushing away your tears.
"damn it, [nickname], curse me a little, will you?" shinya's voice strained as his lips trembled, "stop blaming yourself."
you shook your head, closing your eyes as you held one of his hands, making it cup your face, "i can't."
when the curse-user suddenly wrapped his arms around you, gojo and the jujutsu sorcerers tensed. however, gojo stopped them with a raised hand, realizing that shinya was simply hugging you, before your older brother megumi, maki, nobara, and yuuji could run towards to attack with the intention to protect you from him.
your body ran warm in his embrace, which was becoming colder by the second, and that's when he pressed your body closer to his.
"maybe if i could have been your eyes and seen the world like you did, breathed everything you breathed and felt everything you felt, then maybe.. just maybe, [name].. i could have loved you the way i have always wanted to.."
you buried your face into the crook of his neck, unconcerned about his blood staining your face and everything, or that you were clinging to him so tightly at this point.
"you won't die, shinya," your hushed words rolled off your tongue like a plea.
"not even you can make that promise, [name]," shinya shook his head, rubbing your back to comfort you.
shinya's nose bleeds red, and the next thing you know, he's coughing blood, prompting him to pull your body away from his. your eyes widened as you stared at your palms. your magic hit him too hard earlier and nearly made him decay. shinya was right about your strength. your partner was well aware of how powerful you exactly were.
"do what you have to do," shinya straightened his back, attempting to sit upright, but struggled to do so, "finish what you started."
"shinya.." you spoke up to protest.
"no, [name], i can't stay. not after what I've done to you and everyone, and i want this more than ever," shinya said firmly.
with that, shinya's face crinkled into a smile, a genuine smile, "to have my partner do this."
you nodded your head. it was a difficult pill to swallow, but you had to accept it as it was. no matter how hard you tried, no matter how much you loved shinya as much as he loved you, this was inevitable. he was doomed to die, and you had no choice but to live. shinya has already chosen the path of darkness, while you have chosen the path of light.
to simply put it, you and shinya were destined to meet but not to be with each other, and it was the curse of the strongest ones.
with a heavy heart, you gently twisted your dominant hand, allowing red psionics to seep from your fingertips. it was a little faint due to your exhaustion and wounds, but it should suffice. you'll make it work. for shinya.
"you know, the sunset reminds me so much of you," shinya's eyes were now half-lidded and drooping from exhaustion.
"and just like the sunset, i'll see you again. maybe not in this life, or in the afterlife, but perhaps in another life or universe, and i'm confident that i will love every version of you, over and over, fushiguro [name], because i love you in every universe," shinya said, his voice barely audible, but you heard it nonetheless.
as shinya smiled at you and spoke such words, you mouthed them back, and before the jujutsu sorcerers knew it, you maneuvered your hand and the other, using your red psionics once more to end the curse user.
you wanted to close your eyes, not wanting to see what will become of shinya, but you read his thoughts loud and clear, and he called out to you, telling you not to take your gaze away from him.
"you could never hurt me," said shinya through his thoughts to comfort you even in his final moments, "i just feel you, [nickname]."
you wanted to fight back against his words, but you did what he wanted. you stood there watching and letting your chaos magic struck him. you wanted to scream and cry your soul out. you wanted him to stop staring at you with those eyes and that goddamned smile.
life flashed before shinya's eyes like a movie, and you saw everything as you subconsciously read his thoughts, from him first meeting you to the two of you fighting like a damned old married couple, to you and shinya accomplishing missions together as special grade sorcerers, to you and him coming home together after a long day, all the way to him staring at the sunset wishing it was you instead.
as your chaos magic accelerated the aging of his body to the point where there was no trace of him left, but only a hair tie—the hair tie he stole from you and had been using since he lost his. you picked it up from the ground and held onto it tightly, remembering him doing so.
was it really a curse of the strongest ones? was it fate for the scarlet witch to lose the people she cares about? it could be either, but as you turn your heel and walk away, you can't help but think about your adoptive father's words;
you straightened your back, took a deep breath, slipped the hair tie on your wrist, just below your black wristers, and raised your gaze to the horizon. hatsuki shinya was finally at rest and most likely reunited with his father-figure, mahiru, in the afterlife, but a part of you had died along with him.
shinya was more than just your partner or someone who made you feel less lonely; he was your other half, your soulmate. he was everything, and you loved him with your whole heart and soul.
love is the most twisted curse of them all.
it had to be that. you were certain of it.
"[name]-chan," yuuji attempted to speak to you as he walked up to meet you mid-way, but you remained silent and continued walking.
"[name]," megumi pried this time, attempting to converse with his half-brother, but you, like towards yuuji, ignored him.
"gojo-sensei, [name]-chan..." nobara frowned as she approached your adoptive dad in concern.
"let her be, kugisaki," gojo response was quiet and sullen as he placed a hand on her shoulder.
gojo bit the inside of his cheek as he and everyone else noticed the look in your eyes. it was completely empty, a void of nothingness. they were even puffy red from your tears earlier. you couldn't even describe how you felt, other than grieving and feeling; it just hurt so much. white noise was even filling your ears.
you walked past everyone, your head low as you wiped the blood—shinya's blood to be exact—that had stained your face, the very burden on your shoulders.
gojo satoru knew exactly how you felt—the unexplainable pain and grief—and he couldn't help but sympathize with you as he stared down at your figure, which was getting smaller and smaller as you walked further past them. tour uncle suguru geto was once a hatsuki shinya in gojo's life.
although he and the others didn't hear what you two said, gojo knows it was similar to the last time he spoke to his own partner.
and because gojo knows how it feels to have loved and lost, he feels guilty that his daughter, his most beloved child, is going through the same hell he did. it was a scene gojo was all too familiar with, especially with the bitter ending wherein love truly is the most twisted curse of them all.
[ author's notes ! ngl, i lowkey hate the ending i wrote because some tears are in my eyes yk LMAO and the fact that i had just a heartwrenching skk ao3 fic does not help at all, but i did enjoy writing this—somewhat—because it felt right to have reader's partner end up the same way as geto because this is reader taking after gojo satoru, but also because i got to reference mcu! wanda maximoff's grief too, which i hope i was able to encapture in this writing, so thank you for requesting this foxy. hoped you like it ! ]
[ p.s. ! the song suggestions are highly recommended btw—i was listening to them while i was writing this. it makes the angst hit harder and more differently. 10/10 experience 😌🤝]

For once! Purely BNHA! Because I CAN NOT stop Pondering It!
Quirk: Transfer.
Vague name, right? Well it would have to be. Because NO ONE would believe a Self Insert, even in a world of Quirks. They wouldn't WANT to believe. Because? The prospect would be horrifying and terrible.
It's far easier to say it's "Quirk Related Neurosis".
Because "no, no, you silly child! Your Quirk can't POSSIBLY have grabbed a random soul from another dimension, which it now holds, as the ONLY thing powering your body! You can't have died, with all the trauma and loss that entails, only to be shoved into the body of a toddler! Silly baby, such wild imagination! Maybe your Quirk 'transfers' memories, too!"
Except NO, asshole. They are the one with the metaphorical arm here. THEY are the one who would know which way it does and does not "Bend". But trying explaining a something to someone who doesn't want to hear it. Something that makes them uneasy, that is outside of their world view.
That touchs on the random, unfeeling, chaos of the Universe and how it relates to their soft and supposedly sensible lives. What do you MEAN sometimes Bad Things happen to good people? What do you MEAN sometimes, even if I do everything "right" and take every precaution, terrible calamities can occur?
That I could Die?
That my very Soul could be ripped away from it's rightful rest, too some far off land?
That can't happen! That's not FAIR. It's not RIGHT. Crimes are Illegal! You can't be telling me that sometimes people DONT uphold their duties! Abuse their power! That things are unfair and injustice can strikes, no matter HOW safe I think I am!
That's Scary!
I'd rather believe you were wrong.
That things Make Sense and there are Rules I have to follow. That I am Safe and you are just a liar. Bad things happen for a reason. Bad people are bad BECAUSE they are evil and bad. Let's not think about this any more. Let's talk about TV shows and take-out.
What a terrifying Quirk.
To be held, at the nonexistent mercy, of the Universe's randomness and decay. Reliant on the compassion and understanding of Others, to cope with what has occurred.
Because while the Universe is uncaring, your fellow man SHOULD be. Bonding together against that great and frightful void. Making sense of it all. The compassion of stardust and all that. Children born of this universe, who in turn look back and observe it. Yet? To them you are either mad... or a liar.
Do they hide it fast enough? Do they even think too, in time?
Or is their's a childhood being told "your past is nothing more that hallucinations and stolen memories" before being fed pills, for illnesses they do not have? Do they doubt? Break down and believe. After all, everyone around them is telling them their memories are false.
Not to trust their lying mind.
Children have so few rights. Madmen even fewer.
Do they lie? Smile, nod, and agree with whatever the doctors say? Do they know their mind or does this destroy them? Perhaps... they are lucky. Good doctors and better care. Long talks and learning to cope, with no one believing. After all, hallucinations don't "go away" just because you know they aren't real.
Why would their memories?
A childhood never quite forgiving the ones who locked them away. Being treated as "insane". Being alone. Not sure if you WANT to "make friends" but trying anyway. Because humans are social animals. Because you know what an alarmingly intelligent and self disciplined child, who ALSO happens to be notably asocial, looks like to people.
A life of fear and lies.
The chronic, extreme, stress, and what it must do to their health.
Does Transfer grow with them? Most Quirks do.
What a terrifying childhood. To know, one day, it could just... quit. A straining muscle that finally gives out. The Quirk that binds you into this body just... running out of strength. Letting go.
Maybe grabbing a different soul.
After all, no one ever said YOUR soul was special. And no one believes you. So no tests have ever been done. And that hold? How strong, you must wonder, IS it?
Do they drift? In and out. Does their body suffer, from stress and a soul barely bound to it? Poorly transfered, by an Infants first manifestation? Why was it a SOUL? The first thing they Transfered? Was it based on need? Or was it always meant to be this way?
Can the Transfer other things, now? Or still just themselves? Still nothing but Souls? Is it even a transfer at all?
And what happens if it stops? Or gets copied? Influenced in anyway? Do they have a moral obligation to avoid those they know could be potentially killed by them? Who could potentially kill them by accident?
And, oh! Oh the QUANDARY of children! Quirks are GENETIC. Any mutation or variation of their Quirk? Will bring about ANOTHER. Do they have that RIGHT? Too kidnap another soul? Even if it's just to no longer be alone? Too condemn them to live when they may not wish too?
Their whole bloodline would be Self Inserts. No guarantee they'd be from the same universe! But they would be Reincarnations just like you. Born into a Story. One you KNOW, by nature, can never be peaceful.
Because a peaceful world is not an interesting Shonen Story.
Just as Batman can never truely win, just as the day never truely stayed saved, so too will this world forever decend back into chaos. So a new Protagonist can rise to meet it. What RIGHT would you have, to knowingly bring an innocent person into such danger, trapped in the body of a child?
I ponder the Self Insert Quirk.
How horrifying and numbing it must be. How crippling, the terror that, this? Is merely the beginning of a Tale that will destroy them. To be inserted into story's they long ago forgot, again and again, with no way to stop it. Forever.
Damned to be set dressing in another's grand campaign, even as they slowly go insane.
What a horrifying Quirk.
The Self Insert Quirk: Transfer.

The Mitchells vs. The Machines
Hello! I like watching movies. Ideas get stuck in my head while watching them and i need them out of my brain. This is my 4/9/24 viewing of The Mitchells vs. The Machines. I like cartoons :)
This will have spoilers
Without further ado... my thoughts chronologicall
PROLONGED EYE CONTACT DODODODOD
The main VA is Abbie Jacobson (aka Princess Tiabeanie Mariabeanie de la Rochambeau Grunkwitz)
this family reminds me so much of mine minus depression and a commitment to a cult :)
girl its probably a good thing you weren't at the tech reveal. be nice to the siris, alexas and echos in your life...
i kinda wanna watch that robot movie with Will Smith and hot robots now
THEY ALL HAVE STIMS GUYS
running away from your crush and saying you hate them is so real
"what are these? robutts?"
HES TAKING NOTES
I like that the new genre of villian is a tech bro and AI
I dont like this bit about wifi, we are dependent on it yeah but people can adapt pretty well. Well some I guess.
why do dads always suggest eating the family pet?
i cannot express how autistic this family is. its constant, not demeaning or the butt of a joke. just a family being a family. I have flappy hands about it.
aww dads do love to teach their kids to drive stick shift
i do like Eric and Barbara
the robots are shooting the humans into space, that's their plan and honestly i've been saying we should shoot garbage into space for a while now so im glad somone is finally doing it
there are cute edits done by katie through the whole movie and they deserve a shout out
I knew touch screen fridges were a bad idea
NOT FURBYS WTF WHY THIS IS MY NIGHTMARE
"your whole lives i wanted to save you from disater and this is the moment ive been waiting for" - Rick (and also my father)
KATIE DRAWS ON HER HANDS TOO OMG THE DETAILS. THERE IS SO MUCH STIMMING AND IT MAKES ME HAPPY EVERY TIME
This is good family bonding, but no tears yet.
unfortunately i think the family bonding was to good. The dad left a sentimental object in katies bags and now im convinced hes gonna sacrifice himself to save the rest of the family.
now im crying. :) if you watched i bet you could guess which part.
oof crying again! a Twofer!
This movie may be healing my childhood trauma. I miss my parents. They were just doing their best
THE CALL BACKS. THE CULMANATION! ITS MAKING ME EMOTIONAL IM SORRY
thank you game grumps for introducing me to the song "Walk the Dinosaur" by Was (not was)
An accurate compilation of watching my coworkers and professors use computers
uh oh they got little brother, Linda is gonna rip out someone's heart
OH MY GOD I JUST THOUGHT SHE WAS GONNA GET MAD
ERIC AND BARBARA SUPREMECY
damn i need to see my family so i can remember why i hate them bc this is to sweet for me
TEAM E AND B! TEAM E AND B!
How long of a break between the entire world being abducted by robots and everyone going back to work was? Do you think this was like their pandemic
"My name is Monchi, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair"
THEYRE BASED ON A REAL FAMILY (and the whole family has "im easily overstimulated" hair cuts, its so relatable)
It's cheesy. full of stuff you know is meant for kids and that corporate made them do. but I really liked it. I know the whole bit is that the family is weird. I don't really like that they used the word weird instead of autistic but i can kinda understand why they had to do it. i found myself relating the characters constantly. The way they run away when things get overwhelming, communicate through their interests, stim when they have big feelings (they all have their own, and most of them have a couple they do) and the way the situation their in affects them. It is not perfect representation but it did a good enough job for me.
If you read all the way through thank you! If you have any formatting tips please lmk!
Also I feel the silly need to add, this is all my opinion, and my opinion is not fact! It's okay if we don't agree and if you're nice, I would love to hear about it :)

warnings: alcohol, drinking, frat party, gross boy trying to hit on yn, threats, minor violence (yn holds her own and she's my hero).
not edited because i dont edit hehe
wc: 861
Soobin actually really hated parties; and frat parties were the worst. Despite being in a fraternity, he never really fit in with the stereotypical frat bro. Sure, he was outgoing and fearless on twitter, easily able to public and unashamedly talking shit about Choi Y/N, but he was truly the opposite in real life. In real life, he found himself to be a people pleaser, frequently nervous, and much quieter than all of his friends. People pleasing, nervous, and quiet were the perfect words to describe how Soobin was gliding through the night.
He would chat with anyone who approached him, offer to grab them a drink, all with a smile and a carefree attitude. Inside, he was nervous they wouldn't leave soon so he could sulk in the corner like the loser most present would consider him as. While one of his classmates was striking up a conversation about their upcoming project, Soobin couldn't muster the energy to fully pay attention to the conversation. He either didn't care anymore, or he was drunk. Maybe just tipsy, though. He wasn't too sure.
His attention was not on Yeonjun's complaints of their professor, nor was it on the rest of the party, it was on you. He really did not care about what you were up to, and could have easily looked away without a second thought, proceeding about his night, sulking in the corner. But, he didn't. He was focused on you, dressed in a silky top and mini skirt that showed off your sexy legs (wait, sexy?). Your heels added some extra height onto you, though most partygoers still towered above you.
You weren't smiling or laughing, drinking and dancing with your friends. Not that Soobin really noticed or cared, of course, but you were often with your brother and your friend Jungwon, sometimes your cousin. No matter who you were with, Soobin always saw you having a good time at these parties.
Not tonight, though. Your arms were crossed against your chest, a frown etched upon your face. A member of another fraternity, someone Soobin recognized but did not know the name of, was speaking to you in a manner that Soobin instantly recognized was a sleazy way. The frat bro leaned in closer to you, reaching over and brushing your hair out of your face. You visibly cringed and stepped backwards.
Soobin couldn't hear what was happening between you and this creep, but he could put together the context. As you removed the man's hand from your waist, he grabbed you instead with both hands, appearing like he was trying to convince you to do something. Soobin may really, truly hate you, but he wasn't a monster. He knew that you were in a dangerous situation, and apparently nobody else had even noticed.
Muttering something to Yeonjun, Soobin began making his way across the large living room to intervene in your situation. He hadn't reached you yet when he watched as you ripped the man's arms off of your body and slapped him. When Soobin was finally within earshot (which was really pretty close to you, at this point, since the loud music was, well, loud), he could hear you shouting.
"Touch me again and you won't like where I shove your tiny penis! How do you feel about a meat grinder, bitch?" Soobin's jaw dropped at your threat. You apparently did not need any help. The frat bro's eyes widened and he quickly spun around and scampered away. "Can I help you, Soobin?" You had turned to him, an eyebrow raised.
Soobin gulped as he locked eyes with you; he could see the fire and anger in your eyes and knew he didn't want to argue with you or piss you off right now. "I was- I just," Soobin sighed, failing to come up with an excuse. "I saw what was happening and wanted to help you."
"Oh."
Your anger appeared to resolve as your body language shifted to be more relaxed. Your eyes, too, softened as they confidently gazed into his. The answer you were expecting, you didn't know, but you certainly hadn't thought Soobin would say that. "You so have a crush on me. As you probably saw, I can handle myself. Thanks, though, honey."
Soobin couldn't fight the blush that spread across his cheeks as you winked at him and turned, disappearing into the party. He did not have a crush on you, and he would never admit it, but even though he hated you, he knew how sexy you were. And having someone so sexy, even his enemy, speak to him in such a manner, was hot. But there was no proof that he watched your ass sway as you walked away from him.
You had no idea what Soobin thought as you were walking away, but you hoped that one day he would finally see you as more than a troublemaker twin. Truthfully, you were hoping that Soobin would see you even as just a beautiful woman, someone he'd want to be intimate with. You would be happy with a small slice of Soobin, even though you wanted the whole cake.

Blind Date
pairing: Jake (Hangman) Seresin x Female!Reader (Callsign: Sunny)
summary: The squad arranges dates for each other so they dont have to spend Valentine's day alone, but unspoken feelings make its way to the surface when Hangman's date for the reader is a no-show
A/N: a little Valentine's story for you guys :))) hope you like it!
Valentine’s day. The most romantic day of the year… not.
You truly believed it honestly could be a very romantic day, with the right person ofcourse. But every year your expectations of the specific holiday would be crushed which left you with absolutely zero expectations this year. You didnt have a boyfriend, you didnt even have a situationship or someone to call when the need was getting high. What you did have, was a literal pain in the ass aviator as your wingman who once again pissed you off so bad, you had to take a walk around the base just so you wouldnt literally rip that smug smile of his face in one go.
“Sunny wait!” you didnt even turn around when you heard Rooster call your name, your feet hitting the ground hard as you kept a fast pace “Sunny slow down, please” you felt his his hand grab your shoulder and he softly stopped you from walking any further. Turning around with your eyes closed, you faced Rooster. “Deep breaths Sunny… deep breaths” softly rubbing your shoulders with his hands, your eyes remained closed for a second allowing yourself to fully calm down before opening them again. Rooster frowned down at you, eyes concerned “You good?” you took another deep breath in through your nose, exhaling through your mouth and placed both hands on your hips, nodding “I’m good. He just makes me so angry all the time, its like I transform into a different person every time we fly together.” You watched over Rooster’s shoulder, watching Jake as he laughed at something Coyote said “He’s the most awful person I’ve ever met…I never thought I would say this but I think I hate him” you said and Rooster raised his eyebrows at your statement “You? Y/N? Sunny the literal sunshine hating a person? Now I’ve literally heard everything” he laughed and you rolled your eyes with a small smile on your lips as you hit your dear friends chest lightly “Come on little chicken, I need a drink” putting his arm around you, he placed you in a light chokehold as he ruffled your hair a little “Thats my Sunny”
You thanked Phoenix as she handed you another beer, listening to Payback telling the squad how he planned on surprising his wife for valentine’s day. Your eyes scanned the room for a second before your eyes locked with Jake’s for a moment. You truly wondered if that smug little smile ever disappeared from his face. He winked at you, making you roll your eyes and focussing back on Payback “We’re so pathetic” Rooster suddenly said, eyes turning his way “half of us are gonna be alone, yet again, this year on valentines day” Phoenix scoffed “Speak for yourself, I may be single but I got a hot date waiting for me” low whistles followed and you nodded at her approvingly “What about you, Sunny?” Fanboy smiled and you waved him of “I dont do Valentines day and I really dont mind being alone” out of the corner of your eye, you could see Jake staring at you. Just as you were about to comment on it, the devil himself spoke “I have an idea” you tried so hard but couldnt surpress the quiet groan that left your mouth “And before you guys protest, hear me out. Rooster, Coyote, Bob, Fanboy, Sunny and myself are the ones alone on Valentine’s day right?” He looked around the room, catching a few heads nodding “What if we set each other up with dates for the night? We’ll each draw a name and that person has to bring a date for the name they got” you were about to protest, but surprise overtook you as the rest of the squad looked like they were actually contemplating it “Guys really?” You spoke up and Rooster looked at you and shrugged “I mean why not? Its not like we have anything better to do? Come on Sunny” he looked at you with pleading eyes “I actually think this would be good Sun” Phoenix said carefully and you looked around the room, the aviators surrounding you looking at you with hopeful eyes before you sighed and threw your hands up in defeat “Okay sure, yes I’m in” Jake jumped up and walked towards the bar “Penny my dear, can I please borrow some pen and paper”
10 minutes later, Phoenix mixed the names in Fanboy’s baseball cap one last time before smiling and moving over to Rooster who picked first, he smiled at his name and his eyes darted over to Coyote. You chuckled a little at the fact he was totally not being subtle about it as Phoenix walked over to you. You grabbed a few pieces of paper a couple of times before picking one. You shielded it a little from the rest of the group before opening the little piece of paper ‘Rooster’ you tried hard to keep your smile contained, already knowing the perfect match for him which actually made you kind of excited. Jake was the last one to pick the paper, he opened it and you swear you saw a little bit of disappointment flash across his face before it was replaced with a confident smile. He looked up from his piece of paper and suddenly your heart sank a little as your face fell “Oh god… you picked me”
Adjusting your skirt one last time, you looked at yourself in the mirror and hummed in satisfaction. “Looking good, if I say so myself” you mumbled quietly under your breath, doing a teeth check one last time. Grabbing your phone you noticed 2 texts from your friend Nicole aka Rooster’s date for tonight. One of the texts was just a bunch of emoji’s to describe how nervous she was, the other one saying she was on her way to pick you up. Making your way downstairs you grabbed all the essentials, dropped them in your purse and checked the mirror one last time before making your way outside. Just as you shut the door behind you, Nicole pulled up in the driveway and flashed her headlights at you. Hurriedly, you made your way over to her car and jumped in the passenger seat. With a big smile on your face you hugged her and she squeeled, pulling back “I’m so nervous” she said, making you laugh “Its gonna be fine, you know him” “Yeah, I know he’s one very hot man” she said “Babe, since meeting you for the first time he’s asked about you quite a lot so I think he’s gonna be very happy when he sees you walking in” she bit her lip nervously “You think so?” You grabbed her hand and squeezed it “I know so… come on lets go. I wanna be there early so I can make up an excuse and leave once I see who Hangman brought for me”
Arriving at the hard deck you jumped out of the car and linked arms with Nicole, walking to the enterance. While catching up about work and life in general you both entered the bar, chatting whilst you walked over to Fanboy who seemingly was the only person already there with a very beautiful girl next to him. Catching his eye, he waved you guys over. Giving him a small hug you turned to Nicole, introduced her to Fanboy as Roosters date and focused on the girl next to him “This is Mia, Bob’s date” your eyes went wide as you looked at Fanboy and back at Mia “Mickey? She’s so beautiful? Bob will literally freeze when he sees her” you laughed and looked at Mia who had a small blush on her cheeks “Thank you” out of the corner of your eye you could see the door to the bar open, Coyote’s laugh filling the air as he laughed at something the girl he walked in with said. Looking over at Fanboy you could literally see his breath being taken away by her as he took a little step back. “Mickey Garcia, may I do the honors of introducing you to the very lovely Jackie” as Fanboy made literally no attempt to move, Mia gave him a little nudge which made him come out of his frozen state. Quickly clearing his throat he walked over to her and shook her hand, formally introducing himself.
As you talked for another 5 minutes with Nicole, Mia and Coyote you spotted Rooster walk in with all his confident glory. He scanned the room for a second, his eyes trying to find the familiar group of friends. He quickly saw you and you excitedly waved at him, pointing in Nicole’s direction where she was currently chatting with Fanboy and Jackie. Roosters eyes went wide as he wordlessly pointed at her and then back to himself in a questioning matter, eyebrows raised. You nodded with a big smile and let out a small laugh when he did started cheering behind her back. The sound of your laugh seemed to get Nicole’s attention as she turned to what or who you were looking at. Ever so smoothly, Rooster composed himself just as Nicole’s eyes fell on him. With a cocky smile on his face he made its way over to you two, eyes locked on Nicole the whole time. “Rooster, I-“ you were rudely interupted when you were met with a hand in your face as Rooster shoved it away lightly “We can talk later… Hey Nicole“ shaking your head with a smile on your face, you decided to make your way over to the bar to get yourself a drink whilst you had to wait.
As you sat on one of the chairs at the bar, a girl walked in and hurriedly made her way over to Rooster. They quickly said hello to each other and you heard her mumble something about her being sorry for being a little late, before Rooster introduced her to Coyote and making his way back to Nicole. “Mind if I wait with you?” A voice spoke from behind you, making you turn around “Ofcourse Mia!” She smiled politely and sat next to you, placing her purse on top of the bar “Is he nice?” She asked, making you look up from your glass of red wine “Bob?” She nodded and you smiled softly “He is the most precious man on planet earth… something I just want but him in my pocket and take him with me everywhere I go” she barked out a laugh “And it helps he’s not awful to look at” you winked at her and just as she was about to say anything, the door to the bar opened again making you turn your head a little to see who just walked in. Hangman strutted into the place like he literally owned the bar, signature cocky smile on his face and head held high. “Man seriously? If you guys are ever tired of that aviator thing you do… I’m pretty sure you could all become models” you chuckled and Mia muttered a ‘hot damn’ under her breath as unfortunately, Hangman made its way over to you two first. His eyes scanning you up and down, he stopped right in front of you “Hangman” you stated, voice blank and a tight smile on your lips “My god Sunny, you look good” tilting your head slightly to the side, you leaned back a little against the bar “I am good Hangman, I’m very good” with his hands on both sides of his stupid little waist, his smile grew wider at your statement “Thats my girl” scrunching up your nose in disgust you turned to Mia with a little sigh “Jake this is Mia, Bob’s date for tonight” after what felt like a lifetime, he finally took his eyes off of you and looked at the girl who sat next to you, who gave him a little head nod “Damn, Bob is one lucky man…speaking of the man where is he? It looks like he’s the one bringing my date” you suddenly remembered he walked in alone, too distracted by your hatred for the man standing in front of you that you forgot he was supposed to bring you a date “Where’s mine?” You shot back “On its way, had a little car trouble on the way here but he’ll make it” suddenly Jake was called away by Coyote, walking away he shot you one last wink over his shoulder and you rolled your eyes “He’s so into you” you whipped your head over to Mia who had a sly smile on her face and you swear, you almost choked on your own spit hearing her say those words “What?!” “Y/N please, the way that man looks at you? He’s down bad” laughing softly you shook your head at her words “He’s the reason for my stress induced hair loss I’ll tell you that. And I’m the reason his skin glows the way it does, because I’m pretty sure he feeds from taking people’s souls in exchange for his good looks” as she let out a small gasp she narrowed her eyes at you, pointing a finger directly at you “You’re into him too” she stated and just as you were about to protest, Bob walked over to you two “Uhm, Mia?” He asked shyly, causing Mia to look at him. You suddenly saw her eyes light up as she looked at him “Bob?” She asked and he nodded, holding out his hand for her to shake. Looking over to the group you noticed Hangman talking to literally the most beautiful girl you’ve ever seen and out of nowhere, a pang of pain hit you straight in the chest. Literally grabbing onto your chest and rubbing it lightly, trying to play it off you felt a delicate hand being placed on your shoulder. You looked up at her as she just knowingly winked at you before walking off with Bob to join the rest of the crew, leaving you by yourself at the bar… yet again, alone on Valentine’s day.
2 hours later and your date was nowhere to be seen. At this point you made the assumption Hangman probably did this on purpose, pretending to set you up with a guy. Which proves once again that Valentine’s day will always let you down. Luckily Rooster and Nicole were already acting like a married couple and took you under their wing for the night, which made you feel horrible. Thats why you were currently attempting to leave the bar, but Rooster was refusing to let you go “It’s fine, I’ll walk home its really not that far! Besides, I could use some fresh air” Nicole was currently shooting daggers with her eyes at Hangman as he made its way over to you with probably yet again another excuse as to why your date was late “I dont want to hear it Hangman, I really dont” your voice sounded tired, not even in the mood to put up a fight against him as you grabbed your purse from the chair it sat on. Turning to him one last time, you gave him your best smile “Happy Valentine’s day Jake, thank you for the lovely evening… dick” the last part was muttered under your breath as you made your way to the exit but just as you where about to open the door, someone beat you to it. You looked up to see Hangman opening the door for you “I’ll walk you home” he said, voice soft and you scoffed “No, thanks” “I’m not gonna argue with you on this one Y/N. I’m gonna walk you home” you looked at him and realized he really wasnt taking no for an answer before you nodded, eyes darting to the floor. His hand found the small of your back as he guided you outside.
After walking for a good couple of minutes in complete silence, Hangman was the first person to break the tension hanging in the air “His name is Alex” looking up at him, brows furrowed as he continued “the guy I was trying to set you up with tonight” you chuckled as you crossed your arms whilst shaking your head “I was beginning to think you just made someone up” looking up at him you noticed him looking at you intensely “What?” you snapped, a little to harsh for your own liking but you truly couldnt help it at this point “You know, Rooster talks a lot. I mean he talks a lot in general, but he also talks a lot about you. How great you are, how your ability to stay positive and smile after everything you’ve been through is otherworldly” you stopped walking and turned to him, allowing yourself to look at him. “On paper you look great too… top graduate of your class in both military training and top gun training, 2 confirmed air kills, a PhD in aerospace engineering. When I first read your file I was curious about you, but when I heard Rooster talk about you I literally couldnt wait to meet you” you watched him intensely as he rattled on “But then I met you and… what I’m trying to say- or rather ask is, what did I do wrong for you to hate me that much” truly taken back by his words, you were left speechless for a moment not knowing what to say or how to answer that question. As your brain went in to panic mode, you asked yourself that question for the first time ever… why did you hate him?
When Rooster first told you about the infamous Hangman, and you always seeing the good in people, told him you had to meet Hangman first and then decide if all the stories about him were true or if it was just jealousy coursing through the veins of his fellow aviators. But when that day came and you met him, your body reacted to him in a way it had never reacted before to someone. And your brain automatically assumed it was hatred you felt for the very first time in your life. Everything he did annoyed you, everything he said put you on edge and everytime he just so much as looked at you, you felt as if your body was on fire. But now it felt as if you brain was finally starting to realise it processes your feelings towards Hangman wrong. It wasnt hate you felt for the first time. It was love.
Struggling to find the words you just stared at him “Sunny?” him calling your name snapped you out of your trance and you hummed in response “I’m literally begging over here for you to tell me what I did wrong so I can fix my mistake” his eyes seemed desperate as he took a step towards you, which made you automatically take a step back. Hurt flashed over his eyes for a second before he rubbed his face is frustration “I-just forget it, lets just walk you home” he started walking again, but you stayed standing where u were. Literally frozen to the ground. It took a couple of seconds but finally some words came out of your mouth “I dont hate you” Hangman stopped walking, his back still facing you but no longer moving “I dont think I ever hated you, now that I think about it” and when he finally turned around, you found the courage to slowly walk over to him “Then why do you act like it?” you darted your eyes to the ground for a second, before looking up and meeting his “Just walk me home please?” he nodded and you both started walking again, only this time the distance between the two of you wasn’t that big “You’re so lucky Bob pulled your name. If Coyote had yours and you left the date he arranged for you so you could walk a sad girl home you wouldnt hear the end of it” Jake chuckled and bumped your shoulder with his, just for a moment “That was Bob’s cousin” you gasped, looking at him with wide eyes “You left Bob’s cousin behind?! First of all she was so hot, those Floyd genes are really something else. Second of all, I would never set up my cousin with you” a small laugh escaped his lips and he smiled at you “You know what she said to me? First thing she said was ‘I’m not interested, I’m just doing Bobby a favor so act like you’re interested in me for a hot minute before I can make a break for it and go to my real date’” you stared at him in shock and couldnt help but laugh “I’m sorry, but that’s actually karma” he knew well enough you were referencing you your own date and he groaned “I swear, Alex was coming tonight… his car broke down on the way here. I even gave him your phone number so he could call you later on but guess he’s still dealing with his car problems” you patted his shoulder and while dropping your hand, you slowly but surely looped your arm in his. Jake decided not to comment on it and just let it happen, scared that with one wrong movement you would shield yourself away from him again.
After walking for another 15 minutes, you finally arrived at your place. Grabbing the key out of your purse, Jake walked all the way to your front door with you. Laughing as he was telling you about something that happened with Payback the other day on base, you opened your front door and turned to him unsure if your next move was going to be the right move “Thanks for walking me all the way home, you really didn’t have to do that” Jake’s hand snaked its way around your neck and lightly ran his hand over the back of it “No problem” you let your hand rest on his arm as he gently rubbed circles to the back of your neck “I meant it when I said it I never hated you… I just think my brain and body reacted in two different ways and I didnt know how to cope with all these things I was feeling at the same time. I’m truly sorry if I hurt you by making you think that I hated you” as you scanned Jake’s face, you finally noticed how kind his eyes actually were. Looking into them, you could truly see Jake. Not Hangman, the cocky aviator who made you cry out of - which what you thought- was anger. But Jake Seresin, the man who not even half an hour ago was almost begging on his knees for you to tell him what he did wrong and how he could fix it. “Do you want to start over?” he suggested and you shook your head “No, I dont want to start over… I like where we are right now” his eyes flickered to your lips for a second, automatically wetting his own in the progress “If I kiss you, will that change anything about us?” he looked into your eyes, anxiously awaiting your response before you reached out your hand and placed it on his cheek “It will change, but only for the better” that was all he needed, pulling your head gently closer and leaning in before softly placing his lips onto yours. You know how in the movies they describe the feeling of fireworks exploding the first time you kissed somebody. You always dreamed of having that experience, but somehow this was even better. Jake’s lips onto yours felt like the world suddenly made sense, like it all fell into place and a weight was lifted of your shoulders. A weight you didnt even know you were wearing. As you finally seperated you balanced on your heels for a second “Do you maybe want to come in for a second? I have a bottle of red open that needs to be finished by tonight” and before you knew it he took your hand and led you inside of your own house. “Sit down, I’ll grab everything” he demanded and laughed, mock saluting him as you made your way over to the couch. Sitting down, you suddenly felt your phone vibrate and took it out of your purse, throwing the purse to the side. You half expected it to be Rooster or Nicole checking up on you, but were a little surprised to see an unknown number calling you. Reluctantly you swiped the green button, whilst bringing it to your ear “Hello?” “Oh hi, is this Y/N?” A male voice sounded from the other side “Uhm, who’s asking” “Its Alex, Jake’s friend” you looked over at Jake, who was pouring the wine into two glasses with the uttermost concentration on his face. He looked up at you shooting you a wink which made your heart skip a beat for a second, a love struck smile plastered on your face “No, I’m sorry… I think you have the wrong number” before Alex could answer, you pressed end call and focused back on Jake, who was walking towards you with the two glasses of wine in his hands “Everything okay?” you hummed in response, a little smile on your face as you looked at him and replied softly “Everything is just perfect”

Ranking the ASOUE parts because I’m bored and my friend isn’t online
i would love to keep it extensive but i also don’t want tumblr to crash so i will keep it brief. spoilers, obviously. also charcater death.
13. The Grim Grotto
Listen just because it’s 13th doesn’t mean it’s BAD, it just means i’m kinda indifferent to it as opposed to obsessing over it like i do with the others. It’s just that I’m not THAT into nautical themes and I have 2 nautical-themed assignments to do in school today so I’m a little sick of it.
Also, I’m just not that big on Fiona as a character. I didn’t really like the two-girls-hate-each-other-for-no-reason thing that she had going with Violet (especially because it was really out of charcater for her), her romance with Klaus seemed out of place, and her being related to Fernald just seemed like it was pulled out of nowhere to get an emotional reaction. Again, I get why you’d like her and the part, it’s just not for me personally. Also esme’s worst outfit was featured here. Also in the netflix series it just wasn’t as funny as the other ones and that’s a huge thing for me
12. The Wide Window
Honestly didn’t expect this one to be so low, but it’s difficult to choose between these bc i love them all </3 anyways I actually liked Josephine as a charcater, I like the idea that she wants to help the children but is rendered basically incompetent because of her fear, they really popped off with that. HOWEVER they did a very similar thing with Hector but way better so alas </3 12th place
Also like I said, not a massive fan of sea-themed aesthetics. Also also I LOVE all of count olaf’s disguises but I’m kind of indifferent to captain Sham so that also might be why. Also, again, the rest of the netflix series was way funnier
11. The Carnivorous Carnival
Honestly, not much to say about this one. The “not really feeling strongly one way or the other” section has come early this year apparently. Esme and Olivia both SLAYED in their outfits and we got introduced to the circus crew which was cool as fuck. Sadly I have knocked SEVERAL points off for horny count olaf. The scene where he describes madame lulu as buttered really makes you appreciate how little force it takes to rip one’s ear off. It provides me with a new and informed understanding of the phrase “skin crawling”. other than that it’s pretty good :)
10. The Slippery Slope
Now I was one of those people who didn’t know what Mount Fraught syndrome was before reading this book, and the reveal of why the mountain was named that fucking eviscerated me. I was used to this series pulling shit like this constantly and yet this one destroyed me for some reason. If you already knew what mount fraught syndrome was before reading/watching this scene then you didn’t get the full experience and i’m sorry for you.
I also don’t LOVE quigley and violet. I know i just said that about klaus and fiona so it kinda seems like i hate romance, but i really dont. i hate forced romance. romance just isn’t daniel handlers strong suit but he insists on writing it anyway, and that’s fine. it’s what i do with basically everything i write about. Especially since in the netflix series duncan also has a crush on violet so it’s kinda ??? for her to end up with quigley. like do you guys think when quigley and duncan reunited quigley told him about this really cool girl called violet he met and duncan was like “…”. anyways imagine getting cucked by your presumed dead twin brother could not be me
9. The Austere Academy
okay so i felt bad putting this lower because i know someone that really likes this part but i’m sorry it’s just kinda there. i mean it was super funny and the dead horse bit is literally everything but that’s pretty much it. idk maybe there’s a metaphor in there that i’m missing who knows
also olivia was introduced so bonus points for that i guess. she reminds me of miss honey from matilda <33
8. The Ersatz Elevator
honestly i feel bad that this is only 8th but there are so many good ones imsorry. anyways esme and jerome got introduced in this one which gives is a LOT of extra points. i love esme and i pity jerome which makes me also love him. also shoutout to günther for being the only count olaf disguise that could theoretically get it.
my only issue with it is that jerome disowning the baudelaires was kinda forced yk?? like i know it had to happen for the plot to carry on but i don’t think he had a good reason to do it. i guess points for doing something other than just killing them off again?
7. The End
OKAY so you might be thinking “oh, this part is exactly in the middle! surely that means you’re neuteral about it” LMAO I WISH i have extreme positive and negative opinions.
okay so first off it took me a couple of rewatches to get this one because when i first watched it i didn’t know about the quote that it was referencing (“religion is the opium of the people”) but MAN they mentioned that quote in class and i was catatonic for like 2 minutes because oh my god. not only did the incredibly deadly viper come back (yippieee) but they also implied that in the bible adam and eve were actually saved from something by eating the fruit?? the 4chan atheist that lives in my head really likes this one, is what i’m saying. also i know i say that about all of them because my sense of humour is basically based on this series rn but it was so funny. i live and breathe for olaf’s lil christopher columbus moment.
sadly it does have its downsides (olaf and kit) (i really hate olaf and kit) (i don’t think they’re good together). i mean SURELY kit has better taste than that. i mean don’t get me wrong they’re both my favourite characters but they have no common ground on literally anything. plus this is biased but i liked him better with georgina or esme because they remind me of several songs i really like. they literally just pulled the kit x olaf thing out of their ass so that olaf would have some semblance of a reason to die. oh yea i also think olaf didn’t need to die, i know Kit didn’t eat the antidote because it would have affected the baby but olaf could have totally eaten it!! he was offered it!! he wasn’t pregnant!!! it was so out of charcater for him not to eat it!!
6. The Hostile Hospital
Okay this one is SUPER biased because as y’all probably know i love the mad scientist trope it is my favourite trope ever AND i love count olaf so seeing them get put together was so cool. I know I keep bringing this up but i really do love the aesthetics they’re so cool. also also loved all the horror film references. most importantly (actually not that important) esmes outfit went so fucking hard literally i will never recover from the sheer power and moxie of Knife Heels. When I become actually talented at textiles i will recreate her outfit and probably ruin my carpet with those heels.
5. The Bad Beginning
a classic <33 the netflix version of this was literally one of the funniest eps of anything i ever watched i could feel my brain chemistry being rearranged as i watched it. also count olaf’s best era idc what he did he was literally just being sillay. also it has one of the best songs in the series honestly. OH ALSO justice strauss <33 and the troupe <333 literally all the beloveds are here there are no flaws
4. The Reptile Room
MONTY <333 HIIII MONTYYYY <33333333 literally my fav character he has never done anything wrong in his life ever. Also I love his fucking house it’s so cool if I had that much money I too would base my entire house on my special interest. also one of the only parts of the nickelodeon movie i didn’t hate so that’s fun.
3. The Miserable Mill
Lots of cool shit here!! First of all Shirley served astronomical amounts of cunt she had zero bad lines. Also I honestly think Georgina and Olaf were so underrated they remind me of several songs i like also they’re both fucked up and evil <333 she’s like esme but without the ulterior sugar bowl motives. also the fact that her name is GEORGINA ORWELL like ok. queen of subtlety. Like I get it if I was named that I would prolly start hypnotising people too. I also kinda love orwellian themes yk those are always fun.
AND OMG HOW COULD I FORGET CHARLESSS i feel so bad for him constantly he has never done anything wrong in his life and is also inexplicably british i love him sm
2. The Penultimate Peril
I love a good reunion episode tbh i love seeing all the characters together <33 also like this episode is so fun to dissect? (is that the right word?) i loved figuring out who JS was i loved finding differences between Frank and Ernest I loved figuring out what the fuck was going on it was so fun it’s like the best thing about this series.
of course that’s only partially true tpp would be nothing without those sexy sexy monologues
1. The Vile Village
TVV BELOVED <33 I have a separate post about the but they literally have everything. it’s a metaphor for autism it’s a metaphor for religion it’s a metaphor for the school system is there anything they CANT do. Also this is like my 5th time saying this but there are 300+ characters and i’m an indecisive bitch so i will do it again. Hector the actual loml is literally my fav charcater hes so me. don’t worry dude i cant openly defy authority despite knowing its unjust either <3 literally we would be best friends irl. she’s RELATABLE she’s MORALLY AMBIGUOUS she has SEVERAL INTERPRETATIONS I AGREE WITH she’s STRANGE she’s everything you want in an asoue book honestly
Also detective dupin and officer luciana kinda slayed what was Wrong with them <3

what a day to wake up only to be fed greedily by mother pookie🩷🩷🩷
me, the whole chapter be like:
Cunthage >>> Delusional at its finest
The way my jaw DROP and starts wheezing uncontrollably when Bucky moans Pocket name. MAN, if it happens to me, I would he so fucking embarrassed to the point i might actually kill myself. Imagine getting railed so hard to starts but he’s fantasising someone else?? Jeremiah is so so so so so fucking DUMBBBBBB!!! Her obsession and delusion level is above and beyond.
I can’t wait for Bucky to kick her ass so hard it broke and explode. One thing though, I have a feeling Pocket might have a near death situation. (I MEAN LOOK AT HER CONDITION NOW? STAY STRONG POCKET! UR STOOPID BUCKAROO WILL SAVE U) — which is why Bucky would beg on his knees later on. ‘Pocket please, don’t leave me, I love you. Dont do this to me, baby’
EXCITING!!!!
Looking back to Jeremiah and Bucky conversation, i feel like Pocket and Bucky do need a better communication. More reassurance, sharing and self growth, etc. Both of them are similar yet so different. Both are broken people. They need to heal each other and I can’t wait so see it.
Anyways, as usual, i love u pookie🩷🩷🩷 i cant wait for the eight eleventh smut oneshots😂 i need more pocket and bucky scene!! i couldn’t get enough of them. they r my heartue😫🤍 i hope u feel better!! its absolutely fucking scorching hot here, i don’t know about yours but drink a lot of water!!! get a lot of rest!! sleep more!!!
out of topic, im replaying resident evil 8 now, lady dimitrescu is hot. rip my sleeping schedule.
Hi, Pookie!
If Delulu was a country, Jade would be their Queen.
Like, it doesn't even register to her that Bucky's saying Pocket's name, and he's not trying to hide it. She's just so overjoyed at getting what she finally wanted, what she thinks she deserves, that basically a bomb could have gone off next door and she wouldn't have paid it any attention, because it didn't fit into her narrative.
Pocket's definitely taken some heavy hits and has got some internal injuries going on. Can't say what will happen to her, though-- you'll have to wait until today's chapter to find out! It's the last chapter of action, if you will, before the come-down and the epilogue. So crazy! We're almost done!

Even in games like HIB do mention buddha like its as simple as that
Hell if they don’t want to literally names dropped him, they could have alluded d to him by saying his tittle like “the enlightened one.”
Its the dissonance that makes lmk stands out more so than the others jttw adaptations. Especially when we the audience doesn’t know IF swk is a buddha here. (He might be a bodhisavtta but since they have yet to name dropped guanyin, i dont think they will)
Jttw as whole does balance these two religions and able to showcased them as is. The refusal to allude other religions besides daoism just raised eyes on lmk n their decisions in this aspect. (Esp when swk IS the victorious fighting buddha and great sage equal to heaven. The way that characters goes out their way to avoid saying his actual name or his better well known tittles is bit weird. Esp when it very important to his character moreso than being the monkey king ever was)
like imagine building up to this title that you ever accomplished in life only to never be refer to that bc they see your first job ever first and the rest never to be acknowledged.
Like hell buddha and swk does have a connection here that in lmk seem to be nonexistent to uphold the narrative of JE is bad!! (When that just a poor dude in head management of a corporation.) it a questionable decision esp it seem like recon (bc lmk did mention buddha in like s1 and the usual narrative of how havoc on heaven goes. Like swk being trap in the furnace.)
His lmk character feels like hes just another flanderized goku. Hes just a messed of a character once you look past his goofiness and compare him to others swk. He does not uphold well—for this to be known as westerners first introduction to xiyouji (apart from OSP) it just sad that he could not be as complex as he should have been.(he can be something other than goofy-other than traumatized mess but he can do so good as much he had harmed)
Its kinda sad for being a protector of children, he had ended up being portrayed as irresponsible n a threat(bc of his various blunders)
Rip swk pissing in buddha fingers scene. You shall be missed
I think they could have done a lot with Lego Monkie Kid Wukong if they have given him the time he needed. They have a strong foundation of a plot to show Wukong has a mentor role but it looked like they rather a sacrifice character building for drama and shock value...
I’m not sure if he does have his other titles but considering I saw someone say that the “Great Sage” title was a reference to Xiyouji rather than that being his name… insane really. Like... just now knowing that is his NAME!
I'm not trying to bank on LMK on teaching people about Xiyouji like it's not meant for that... but at the same point, it's crazy to me to think that a Xiyouji piece of media is making 'references' to the original media despite it being in the same universe where everything happened like... of course it's going to reference the original source material. It is literally canon in the story that it happened.
And yeah them brushing off Wukong is also a monk and a Buddha... it's more strange than anything cause he is immortal... and the rest of the pilgrims should have also been immortal so I hope they touch why THAT isn't the case but... I feel like there are just going to be a lot of plotholes left unanswered for 'the reader's interpretation.' Like why did Wukong go on the journey if it wasn't his redemption arc for him to finally see that he had gone too far? Or why have the Jade Emperor defeat him when it just shows that it was about strength and not about ideologies? Again I've seen bad guy Jade Emperorbefore and here it looks like they are trying for a 'there is more going on' angle but... idk... just so many things that are not being played out or being far too rushed to be really fleshed out.
Which I feel like is the show's biggest weakness with Wukong. They are so busy rushing the plot they never give time to flesh him or even other characters out. He isn't the one that suffers from that which is a shame cause the show does have a lot of charming characters too!
I don’t know… I like the show but I think I'm going to just enjoy that I can and hopefully... things might get better this time... but maybe I just got to accept that they are never going to give their own characters the development or time they need.
A real shame.

i miss wren farvo btw do you have like . any lore about him before nature/nurture happened? like what was he like when he was a kid and where did he live and how was his relationship with samirah and who was his buire, etc etc i wanna know 👀
OLLYYYYYYY if there's anyone i can trust to be a wren farvo enjoyer ik it's you fr fr. funnily enough there actually used to be a wren-centric nurture chapter that like, explored exactly his lore lmao. the chapter involved themes I wasn't ready to write about however (like, I realised I wasn't the right person/didnt have enough experience with them) so I scrapped that chapter in the end. i can give you the lore aspects though! (cut off because, long as fuck)
(also this will make sense in the further context of the post, but I didn't feel comfortable putting these links under the readmore lmao)
palestine masterlist by palipunk
fundraiser for Yousef, a photojournalist in Gaza
esims!! they need those!! help them out
basically though the rundown was that; wren was adopted by his buir at a young age, after the Purge (young enough that he doesn't remember his previous life, not that he particularly cares to look). also, Wren doesn't remember this, but he was actually adopted first before Samirah (Samirah was older, and thus ended being the older sister anyway) (Samirah also doesn't bother reminding Wren about this, if only to avoid his gloating)
the two only had the one parent, the sole survivor of the Farvo clan after the Purge. It, obviously, left their parent in...a state. i never went around to properly naming their parent, since in the chapter Wren only ever called them 'Buir'. then again given the fact that they were living with a covert back then, the atriarch of clan Farvo probably didn't give their name out anyway.
oh yeah okay so; in the nature/nurture verse, after the Purge, Din's covert wasn't the only covert out there. survivors splintered off into many, many small coverts, most of them isolated from one another and thinking they were the only ones. at most, one covert would be aware of one other covert that survived (and usually, to the best of their ability, try to merge coverts to reassemble their numbers). each covert had a different approach to making through the galaxy, particularly Wren's covert not instilling the 'dont take your helmet off' rule
the themes that i mentioned the chapter having was basically; what it'd be like, growing up as a child of a dead people, and what it'd be like when your parent is a survivor of a genocide. how that'd affect them, and affect you and your family, and how hard it'd be to connect to a culture and a community that was ripped brutally out of your hands before you could even speak. wren farvo, essentially, grew up in a graveyard, with his parent haunted by the ghosts of a family he never got to meet, mourning for a home he never got to see. that Wren was essentially a genocide survivor himself, and how he'd struggle to come to terms with his identity as a Mandalorian when it seems the entire galaxy wants him dead
then I started writing the chapter, realised how similar it was to the very real Palestinian genocide going on right now, and proper realised the depth and weight and importance of how I was going to convey this story. i tried my best for a couple passages, but eventually though i realised that, as of now, it's better if I just...don't. not yet, at the very least. regrettably Im not the best person to write about this, i just don't know enough, and i wasn't going to take a bite out of something i couldn't chew so, whoops! into the deleted scenes doc they go. maybe one day I'll pick it up again
back to Wren Farvo lore however !! his parent passed in the way many mandalorians pass during those times, having caught off guard and alone by a group of one too many beskar-hungry thieves. it was a pretty dark and awful time for the Farvo clan, but they thankfully had the rest of the covert to keep them going. Samirah became matriarch of the Farvos, and Wren became the lighthearted grounding force that balanced out her seriousness. they kept each other in check, one from sinking into the burdens of responsibility and duty, and the other from a recklessness that would eventually kill him. when Samirah adopted Jeliaya, it only brought them closer together, jeliaya basically being a promise for the clan's continued existence
as this is all happening, wren's covert had managed to meet with Din's old covert (Din himself not being around, still searching for the kid). together, and with Bo-Katan's crew after a while, they banded and started searching for more survivors. the heads of the coverts (+ bo) eventually realised how easily dwarf planets flew under nearly every radar. then they found the dwarf planet where they settled and struck peace with the locals. for about a decade they settled in, digging tunnels of their own and carving out spaces for themselves in the planet itself. Wren stayed close with his sister and his niece the entire time, having no reason to be anywhere else
but being able to live on that dwarf planet, though - being able to walk out in the sun in relative peace definitely did wonders for everyone's mental health. for the first time they had a planet again, however small. Samirah's work thrived, especially when she started communicating with the local doctors. Jeliaya grew healthy and at peace, her safety mostly assured. Wren did...Wren things, helping out everywhere he could
a lot of that involved him being part of the force that stood against the Dark Troopers; Wren was one of the first few that devised defensive plans, figured out their weaknesses, convincing the Armourer(s) that beskar weapons were, against this enemy, quite necessary since it's one of the few materials that can tear through the Dark Trooper's armour (which is why she never made Din melt down his spear in this 'verse. that, and also I'm a beskar-spear enjoyer at heart). one such mission brought him and his sister to this Imperial fort, where they met Din for the first time!!
meeting Din, Wren's first immediate thought is 'woah, this guy's fucked' and after learning that he's still looking for the kid he lost about 7-8 years ago, came up with the nickname "Or'trikar". for the grief that he exuded like a physical aura, and for the tightness of Wren's own chest whenever he so much as looked at him. Wren and Din grew closer, mostly due to Wren being...Wren and generally clingy to the people he's trying to impress. it works on Din, who ended up viewing Wren as a younger brother
Din definitely wouldn't think so, but to the Farvos it's obvious that for that time, Din was practically one of them. An honourary Farvo, if nothing else. he was practically Jeliaya's second uncle, and he came around to the Farvo residence pretty often, thanks to Wren refusing to let the guy stew in his own room and his own or'trikar
about two years pass, and Wren and Din get paired together to find the source of all those Dark Troopers, and to scout out how to cut the production off at its root. they find the biggest, freshest clue they've had in all their years and Wren, antsy and excited, decided to go on a solo hunt to burn off steam instead of going home. Din pointed him in the direction of where he last left the Razor Crest, and Wren found it (neglected, dusty, but still usable; something something, nothing grand, just a means to an end) and used it to fly around for a bit
unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you see it) the tracker that Gideon put on that ship was still there, and still active. Wren ends up being captured and thrown into an Imperial prison, where he meets this strange kid through the vents who insists on calling himself Asset
and then the rest is history

Hello omori and hxh fans
[ Spoilers for omori later on ]
Hi!!!1! I just decided to make a bunch of hxh x omori sprites for my funny little fusion au idea because I really like hxh and omori both
so here are the sillies
His name is KIRA. I might change it later on but for now it’ll be KIRA since i couldnt rlly decide on another one.
Alluka!111ww1weeewe ue she is like the best ever in here. She’s mostly like DW Aubrey and a bit of Kel as well
Her litle sprite
I don’t know what to do with nanika but I may put her in there somewhere. I don’t want to make her scary/bad in the story because shes not
I havent made neutrals for leorio/kurapika yet but here !!! I made it for a little interaction. I decided that since in omori theres not much of an age difference, that kurapika will be 14 in the past and leorio will be 16, and later obv 18 and 20.
Alluka is still 11 and Kalluto is still 10 though, as well as killua and gon being both 12 in the past (14, 15, 16, 16, 18, and 20)
I made the text boxes and stuff with my art and this excellent dialogue generator it was very fun.
I havent made gon or kallutos dw sprites yet but...
[ Major omori spoilers & tw for death/suicide ]
ok so here we get into the nitty gritty of the story, so if youve played/watched a playthrough of omori you know what im talking abt...
so in the story, sunny accidentally kills mari and basil watches. If you didnt already guess, Killua is supposed to be sunny, Gon would be mari, and basil will be kalluto.
Killua moved in with gon a month prior because he was old enough and his home situation obviously isnt the best (a lot of trauma with his parents and illumi which in the hikikomori route would go much in depth to) and since they lived together more they got into more fights.
One day, Kalluto was over and Killua and Gon got in a big argument. Kalluto was speechless and they wanted to interfere but couldn’t as they saw their brothers face. Killua was getting really agitated and pushed Gon down the stairs accidcentally.
Idk what the argument will be about specifically... I don’t know if i hsould have them do a performance or not like in the actual game. I also dont know what they’ll do with gon after they find out hes.. yk.. dead... but it’ll probably be a staged suicide as well, as that makes the rest of the group feel even more conflicted. Especially Leorio, who thought himself a bigger brother figure to Gon, and Kurapika, who feels guilty about often relying on Gon to comfort him instead of comforting Gon.
The scene....
The last box is more or less a reference to the scene in the truth sequence where there are a bunch of hospital beds and if you interact with them it says “This person is not alive.” or “This person is not breathing.” Ifg but yea.
Speaking of the truth sequence, instead of collecting photos, you collect scraps of ripped paper from a drawing of the truth by kalluto. Instead of taking photos, Kalluto likes to draw/do paper crafts, and instead of a photo album, they have a sketchbook for drawings relating to their friends.
After gon dies, Killua obv isolates like sunny in the game, but Mito is more involved in taking care of him unlike sunnys mom.
I think there will be two somethings, one being the bitterness of gons death and gons spirit being twisted into a sick innocent... thing, and the other being illumi’s... well basically everything illumi told killua about himself, and killua being convinced that it’s true.
Alluka tries to be positive, and is the one to get Killua out of the house, and sticks up for Kalluto when they need it.
Kalluto really wants killua to like them, and is now scared of him and feels like his burden. Theyre often anxious around him and Killua tries to repress any bad memories, so he doesnt interact with Kalluto when they see each other again much at all.
The zoldyck household is not a very good place to be in any case for Kalluto and Alluka. Illumi left, luckily, but their parents were still as harsh (transphobicc...), and often say theyre glad that their friend group seperated. Alluka learned to stand up for herself and Kalluto in this environment because Killua wasn’t there anymore. (Kalluto Basil parallels -- you came back to save me)
Kurapika also isolates but in a different way. He isn’t a hikikomori, and he goes outside a lot, but hes closed off emotionally. He stopped caring about school, so he didn’t even bother looking into college after he graduated. He pretends that he doesnt know his friends, which isnt very successful with Alluka or Leorio, but it really hurts Kalluto. When they try to talk to him, he’s very passive aggressive.
Kurapikas home life isnt great. He was orphaned at 12 years old, and his relationship with his legal guardian, Izunavi, wasn’t too amazing at first, but begrudgingly by the time he turned 14 they got along. Everything reverted when Gon died, however, as he stopped talking to his caretaker as well as his friends.
So hes kind of like real world aubrey in the way that he becomes prickly towards his friends, but he doesnt join a gang.... There would def be a ‘it means everything’ like scene and also a breakdown scene where Kurapika breaks down and apologizes to everybody, especially Kalluto who isnt there if were going like the sunny route plot.
Leorio is at college!!!!! and going to med school obv.. I think he would have always wanted to be a doctor unlike hero, so in dw maybe he would have a SYRINGE AS A WEAPON HELP. But anyways he feels so guilty about gons death like gon was like a little brother to him, and he was so young. So he was definitely depressed like hero was/is. Alluka consistently visited him (and tried to visit kurapika and killua to no avail) before he left for college, and she helped him become less depressed. He wants his friends to be happy again and will do anything to make sure nothing happens to any of them.
He notices especially how different Killua, Kurapika, and partially Kalluto are, and he is the one that really helps Kurapika open up after everything thats happened. He’s not sure how to talk to Kalluto and Killua about it as much, though.
...instead of garden sheers, kalluto has scissors...
anyways thats my infodum p..... bye keep being silly
