confessions in the common room

pairing: Remus Lupin x female reader

content:

Pure fluff

The school year is nearing its end and the finals are coming closer every day. You and your dear friend Remus are once again studying in the common room late at night during the week, while the other marauders are deeply asleep. Both of you can’t deny the built up tension, that has steadily increased, especially since you two always end up studying just with eachothers company

“I hate transfiguration class” y/n exclaimed as she let her head fall in her hands. Remus, who sat opposite to y/n, let out a long sigh, looked up at her, and just breathed an “yes this class in killing me”. As Remus looked at her, he wanted nothing more than to quit studying. Her beautiful eyes, her lips, her hair, just everything. Spending time with her and meanwhile admiring her is one thing. Trying to focus on studying while being near her another. Remus mustered himself up to continue reading, and silence filled the common room for a quite a time after, since neither of them knew what to say next. Both of their heads were racing with thoughts about how to get through the transfiguration finals.

Y/n was overwhelmed, and her mood was logically quit low. After heaping her head out of her hands she looked at a frustrated Remus frowning into his text book, desperately trying to understand its contents. Y/n hated seeing Remus like that.

Even then, Remmy, as she often calls him, looked beautiful. Brown fluffy hair, teddy eyes with an even darker shade of brown and the sweetest smile one could imagine. Usually, that is. She missed seeing him smile as often as he did before. The last weeks really took the life out of both of them. Sirius, James and Peter all cared equally less about studying as long as they passed. But y/n and Remus hat different ambitions. Ambitions worth suffering for they supposed. Still, they couldn’t wait for it to end, because nearly every evening ended with both of them studying late at night.

Studying and a silence, that was killing y/n. She needed a break. A conversation with Remus would hopefully lift her spirit.

“Remus” y/n whispered, to which Remus just murmured an absent “yes, what is it”.

“Cant we just drop everything and let fate decide our destiny” y/n vented. “I miss normally spending time with you so much”.

After y/n realised what she just said, a slight blush began to form on her cheeks. Did she really just said she misses his company. They do spend a lot of time together, be it with friends or just the two of them, but neither of them ever spoke about it. Y/n became a natural part of the marauders, since she accidentally found out about Remus werewolf secret early in their friendship, after she saw the boys trying to patch him up.

It might not seem like a big deal to other people, but for y/n it basically just felt like a love confession. All the times they’ve catched the other one just looking a bit too long, all of the meeting glances, the accidental touches of their hands, where both of them quickly pull away and apologise, despite wishing it continued. Both of them danced around it for so long, trying to ignore it.

Even the other marauders noticed, often times raising an eyebrow, smirking, but otherwise brushing it off and leaving it up to them to not get involved. It would happen eventually they thought.

Remus heart skipped a beat for a second. Y/n misses me he thought to himself. As y/n tried to look down in the textbook to not meet his eyes, Remus was looking at her, trying to muster up his courage. This is his chance. He can’t miss it. Not now. Y/n has been driving him crazy with everything. Her laugh, her witty remarks, the way she frowns when she looks in her textbooks, which he has been seeing fairly often lately, just everything.

“I…I’ve been missing you too” Remus declared, mustering up the courage to look at her. As y/n looked up at him, she understood that he meant it exactly the way she has meant it. She just didn’t know what to say now. Y/n was absolutely dumbstruck and the blushing was once again creeping up on her face.

Remus swallowed. This was it, all or nothing. “I’ve been wanting to ask you something for a while now.” Y/n looked at him with her eyes wide open and just slightly nodded, as no sound would leave her throat.

“I like you…I mean I really like you, like romantically” Remus stiffened as he noticed he was messing it up. Y/n realised what was happening, but was still too dumbstruck to speak. Remus didn’t notice as he was to busy with his own hang up at the moment.

“Uuuum, no, well actually. Wait! Let me start again.” The fluffy haired boy stopped himself, took a deep breath and began again”

“I’ve had feelings for a while now, and I just want to ask you if you would go on a date with me. I think you’re so sweet, and funny and… just beautiful” he exclaimed. Remus words hung in the air, tensing everything up.

Y/n came to her senses again. Hesitant at first, she proclaimed “I … I would really love that.”

“Phewww” Remus began to chuckle. “I’ve been so scared about ruining our friendship right here and now. I didn’t want to screw our friendship”

Y/n slightly grinned at him, and just added an “I’ve been so scared too”. All of the tension felt like it was blown away, and the room eased up. They were both just slightly smiling at eachother, both being a bit red on the cheeks.

Y/n chuckled and said “I can really look forward to something now, to get through these horrible finals”, to which Remus just replied a “yeah, to best thing I could imagine”

A slight yawn creeped up on y/n, and Remus realised it would be better to just end the night and get some rest. “Y/n, maybe we should get some sleep”. Y/n followed up with another yawn, and cooed a little “yes, we should”

They were quickly finished with packing up their textbooks, parchment and quills. As y/n was about to head upstairs to her dorm, she turned to Remus and said “I can’t wait for our date. You’re really sweet. Good night Remmy”

Remus replied with a “I can’t wait either, good night to you too”, but before Remus could leave y/n hugged him. It was their first hug, and it felt so intimate. The way her hands wrapped around his waist, and how her hair smelled like vanilla and honey. Y/n felt so close because she was. For Remus it is a dream come true. Just as y/n pulls away, Remus comes back to his senses. Y/n is about to head to hear dorm, already being on the steps and he just sees hair leave for the night.

Remus stood there for a few seconds longer before heading upstairs and getting ready for bed. As he was laying in bed, he had a hard time falling asleep. All he could think about was what will happen in his near future, and Remus couldn’t help himself from grinning to himself. Little did he know, y/n was doing the exact same thing right now too.

I hope you enjoyed it. Feel free to leave me some feedback,prompts and request <3

hey,

i know that you don’t talk interact with character metas a lot in the atla fandom, but i’ve seen lately that you’re very defensive of characters like Zuko & Jet, which is unusual in this fandom because Zuko/Jet stans tend to demonise eachothers all the time, so it’s a bit surprising to see your blog

so if i may ask, what’s you honest thought on these two characters ?

read under cut cuz it’s pretty damn long

hey anon

first, thank you for your ask ! it’s always a pleasure to discuss things about atla :)

as you rightfully pointed out, I tend to avoid interacting with most atla metas. but I don’t mind responding to some of them.

now to answer your question, I wouldn’t say that it’s particularly a rare thing to be fond of both Jet & Zuko as characters… and I sure as hell wouldn’t call me a stan. I like them, yes, but I like them as characters who are both traumatised war teenagers stuck in their violent & toxic behaviour and who try to be better at the end of their character arc. I certainly don’t like them because I think they did nothing wrong or idk what else.

and tbh, some Zuko stans have a way of demonising Jet that I absolutely hate, while Jet stans rarely openly hate him, they can be critical of Zuko’s character, yes, but they’re often way more nuanced and levelheaded. although I’ve seen some big ass bullshit coming from both stans but what’s new, we’re in the atla fandom after all…

now if I had to be honest : they’ve both terribly written in the second half of their character arcs. and don’t shoot me down before I finish talking, I swear I don’t completely hate the way they’re written, only a part of it.

like Jet ? BSS redemption arc ? him helping the gaang ? working actively on his traumas after his brainwash ? great idea, love it, but terrible execution. his death is tragic but the aftermath is a fucking joke. the gaang only mentions him again two times, first in the TSR, to point out that he was a lunatic that killed innocent people (….ok) and in EIP (probably the one episode I hate the most in the whole show) to mock his death with the most apathetic “you know, it was really unclear” from Sokka ?? fucking hated every second of it. but on paper ? love the character, he’s literally my comfort character alongside with Zuko and I cherish him deeply. I really wished that his character arc would have been written differently but now what’s done is done. and don’t get me started on how mf imperialist warlord Iroh is painted in a golden light in opposition to the 16 yo orphan boy from the mf oppressed side of the war that died under a mf lake. how so many people are painted in a better light than Jet. Jet being canonically demonised in show pisses me off. what’s the point of concluding his redemption arc in season 2 only to compare him to a killer lunatic in season 3. make it make sense please.

now if I had to be honest about Zuko… I’m a book 1 & 2 Zuko enjoyer. he was at his peak at that time and although there are some episode I genuinely like in book 3 that handle Zuko’s character, I genuinely hate a handful of them. (like The Firelord & The Avatar) his redemption arc was working until book 3. it was meaningful, logical, COHERENT, until book 3. and I think his arc’s weakest point is mf Iroh. cuz I may not be a Iroh anti but boy do I have beef with him. yes Iroh, maybe not only giving tea but actively deconstructing your nephew propagandist ideas about the world imprinted in him by years of living under the roof of the mf firelord COULD BE A GOOD IDEA. yk, being on sea with a 13 yo and not trying to work on his imperialistic mindset baffles me. ignoring his internal turmoil in BSS instead of confronting him about it baffles me. it’s not only that Iroh is a shitty uncle, it’s also bad writing. because the show praises the hell out of Iroh for something he didn’t really do (helping Zuko’s redemption arc). book 3 Zuko has such a shitty way of portraying his redemption because of Iroh’s omnipresence. like no, Iroh is not part of the redemption. also, the show painting Zuko as a character having to repair the damage of his forefathers, the show painting azula as an unredeemable monster, while mf Iroh is adored by the gaang and lives his best life in Ba Sing Se after the war is absolutely stupid and downright ridiculous.

now that being said… I love both characters, like I said. I also love to imagine possible scenarios about how the arc could have been handled differently. (Jet joining the gaang, Jet never being left by the Freedom Fighters, Zuko joining the gang in season 2, Zuko trying to bond with his sister, etc)

I’ll always hate the missed opportunity of finalising Zuko’s redemption arc after meeting Jet, cuz that would have been a possibility. that after meeting Song, Lee, Jin, Jet, after seeing all the pain in the EK, all the pain in the world, he finally turns his back on his father. Jet would have been kind of the last part to push Zuko to choose the right path. instead we got “I betrayed uncle” and okay I’m just going to forget Zuko Alone, and Zuko’s whole ass BSS arc, where apparently I was suppose to understand that IROH… had been such a prominent part of the redemption arc.

anyways, both Jet & Zuko deserve better from the show & the writers.

(side note but also I hate the fandom depiction of both characters !!! y’all can’t actually be serious cuz if you can’t choose between either demonising/babying mf 16 yo (as if… a middle ground didn’t exist, yk, as if… characters had… layers…) then idk what I can do for y’all.)

⚠️Does contain The Sun and The Star spoilers so continue at your own risk!!!⚠️

I don’t know when Will Solace became one of my favourite Percy Jackson characters but it probably has something to do with the fact that he’s one of those characters that’s deeply traumatised but everyone forgets about it

So (for some reason) i’m gonna sit here and list everything my man’s been through:

At ten years old he and his mother got attacked by Stymphalian birds, found by his satyr and taken to camp halfblood where he, at some point, became a year round camper

He admits that his mother, despite his love for her, could be quite neglectful during her time on tour and he grew to live with it but now he’s scared of being abandoned

Between the ages of 10-12 he’s training to be a field medic in camp

Had to watch his friends and family switch sides to fight against them and probably had to watch them die throughout the course of the books (it’s mentioned that there’s countless demigods deaths from Kronos’ side during the battles)

At 13/14 he fights in a battle to defend his home where his brother, Lee Fletcher, dies along with many other campers including some from the Apollo cabin

Within the same battle he probably has to heal many of his friends as well as watch them die as he believes he ‘fails’ to heal them

At 14 he fights in The Battle of Manhattan where it’s believed the Apollo cabin suffers the most fatalities (four documented, however I remember seeing somewhere that the cabin was practically empty due to fatalities and switching sides by the end of the series)

During the battle he heals Annabeth, which drains most of his energy, he creates a field hospital on Olympus to heal other campers and he becomes head counsellor of the Apollo cabin as Michael Yew was never found after the bridge collapse.

Fought in another battle literally less than a year after the last one and delivered a baby mid way through at the age of 14/15, had two entire camps full of children depending on his skills as the head healer

Watched Octavian willingly hurtle himself to his death and believes he ‘let’ him do it even after being ashamed that he’s related to Octavian.

Let himself be a distraction for six guards that would have happily either killed him or captured him

Spent his days after the battle with Gaea in the infirmary healing other campers, or watching them suffer through injuries they would ultimately not recover from

Has his father just fuckin plummet to earth and pitch up at camp as an egotistical teenager after his own powers were going mental and camp was falling into disarray because Apollo was no longer an Olympian throughout

Has to help his father complete his quests and heal other injured campers during fights and battles all whilst trying to make sure his boyfriend and his father don’t do anything stupid and die

Finally gets a break at camp with his boyfriend with no other campers and gets a prophecy that insinuates that he will have to go to the depths of tartarus which could either drive him insane or just straight up kill him off and be abandoned there

Goes on said quest and before they’ve even gotten into tartarus he’s passed out 3 times, is the colour of literal wax and has wounds that have just randomly opened up on his body after collapsing on a hill of what’s described as glass shards and rolling down.

is plagued by nightmares, gets drawn in by voices of tormented, pain ridden souls and loses his one source of light that’s keeping his barely sane

Comes to the realisation that he cannot heal everything and that not everything needs to be healed. That his boyfriend has dark parts that Will may not like but that’s okay and they can learn to live with those parts of eachother

(i fully believe that, if it came to it, despite his objections, he would have sacrificed himself to stay in tartarus if it meant Nico and Bob got out alive)

I know many people love to talk about Nico’s trauma and honestly fair enough cause his trauma is deep and horrific and he deserves to heal and be happy and his trauma should never be overlooked

however i will never miss an opportunity to bring up will solace and talk about the shit he’s been through

Rating Aphmau Ships and explaining why!

So im obviously going to start with Aphmau and Aaron first.

So I know that Aphmaua and Aaron’s relationship has been a sensitive subject for some parts of the fandom. Mainly because Aaron was a senior and Aph was a Freshmen when they met. If we want to be technical as well, they met in the game way before that. I do like that Jess didn’t have them date then or get to romantically involved other then the kiss which could’ve waited in my opinion.

We see Aphmau crush on other people in s2 of PDH. We see how it effected Aaron( granted he saw Ein and Aph and not who see was actually involved romantically with.) We can see that Aaron truly feels deeply for her even tho they’ve agree to just stay friends. Aph also still comes back to him at the end. I’m just glad we get to see her with someone else other than him atleast once.

Now we can talk about Falcon claw university but honestly I feel like talking about that series separately because I actually really love it.

Now onto My street. We don’t see them interacting a lot at the start but we obviously get to know that she hangs around Aaron a lot and even stays at his place on occasion ( I believe anyway). I still wish they had more sconces to show the build up of emotions both from just that season but years or then wanting to wait till they are ready. Them getting together at the con felt like the right time to do so. They are with their friends, they are somewhere that may has all the things they love and enjoy together.

love-love paradise gives us a good glimpse of them as a new couple and navigating it specially when her mom comes around. Also can see the frustration of having people getting between them like Katlyn, Gene, and even Zane towards the end.

Lovers Lane was actually a decent season and I’m glad we got to meet Aaron’s mom and sister. I will say it did feel a bit busy at some points like having to deal with the cafe, adding Aaron’s family in the mix, Aphs mom, and Lucinda and Ivan’s stuff along with Gene again. The “break up” had me tearing up when I watched it the first time and still makes me a little teary but it made me no like Aaron’s Mom. I’m still iffy with her even now. But I feel like it was a good way to show how complex emotions and relationships can be specially with issues from the past that someone didn’t get help for affected them as they got older. We also see Aph own up to her mistake when she realizes what she did and how it affected him. Granted she didn’t know everything and it could’ve been solved if they talked it out but when you’re running high on emotion it’s understandable.

Do we have to talk about s4? If everything he did just to get her back and protect her in that sense doesn’t scream how much he loves that women then I don’t know what to tell you. To add onto this, Aphmaus year which technically isn’t a season but very important to the story shows how much she’s struggling and he’s all she thinks about . Her leaning how to heal just so she can help him so just muawh. Perfect.

S5? Them reconnecting , then making she’s choices together, and getting engaged. We see Aaron coming to term to being a werewolf more openly even his family. We also see Aphmau getting used to it and making little mistakes and Aaron eventually telling her how it makes him feel. You can tell even with not being Allison eachother for a year how they’ve grown as a couple and strength. She needed time to grow and heal and he needed to start embracing who he is. My only issue even with this season was I feel like Aaron was to big of a what we call them now a simp and seemed to be dumb down a bit. Maybe he it was because he was more calm and relaxed and just glad to be able to be with her. But it was just a little weird.

S6 wasn’t really full of romantic moments between them other than Aaron going crazy about Ein killing her. Also her going after him to save him after she comes back to life. Then we have the ending.

I’m excited to see how things will go in season 7 and now they grow as a couple after they reunite for the last time. Specially if my theory of time travel to “fix” the timeline is true. Overall as a couple I do like them and I feel like they are very fitting for each other. They are actually one of my favorite Canon ships in the series. 9/10 mainly since the story isn’t over and they aren’t perfect and have definitely made their shared mistakes plus just small things.

Aak! Forgot about fire being able to eradicate the plague or at least from memory it does? but yeah Franziska would absolutely use that as a way to convince people she’s thinking for the towns benefit as after awhile she realizes that if she doesn’t make it look like she knows what she’s doing she’s going to get killed or worst then death publicly disgraced! so yeah! I’m yanking that idea from you!! She actually ends up wearing a fun little plague doctor outfit during the final week as she claims it brings her immunity and that the flames she brings her blessed by the earth to save this rotted town (she’s lying she just wants her girlfriend to think she’s cool…she doesn’t think Franz is cool at all but that’s okay she likes her because she’s slightly pathetic!)

Also gonna clarify a bit with her dynamic with Clara! She views Clara as the only person around that she can be honest with, she doesn’t need to pretend to act as a miracle worker she can just be a broken girl…she views herself in Clara (and Anna as well to a certain degree to the point she actively attempts to avoid Anna because she feels guilty for scamming her at all) she’s also only genuine with Maria to the point that once she knows she’s gonna lit the town ablaze she offers Maria a place with her! Franziska views Maria as her last link to any kind of human connection, and having a Kain by her side absolutely offers her some protection especially since they’ve got something fruity going on maybe Maria can bring her out of the closet or drag her out so violently that she looks like she fought ten muggers at once. Also ironically she tries to avoid Peter as he scares her she’s also deeply scared of Rubin as well…she views them both as reflections of men she knew in the past.

One last thing about her is in the haruspex route Artemy would offer multiple times to help her and that if she’s willing to come clean about her lies to the town and that he will let her help him with a cure as well with her charms she could smooth talk getting extra resources for free and she genuinely has a decent understanding of human anatomy that she could help him treat the infected, however she constantly acts hostile towards him because she views him as an active threat that nothing he says is genuine and he will gut her in the streets so she goes and lies to Maria about him threatening her research and that he wants to kill her! Which word gets back to Aglaya about her lies leading to that relationship straining almost completely to the point Franz is not allowed near the cathedral at all anymore. But she always has a place with the Kains now and surely that won’t go wrong at allllll. Oh also her and Daniil attempt to kill eachother multiple times in the haruspex route because they hate eachother that much it’s like putting two beta fish in the same tank…they will kill each other!!

-immune reader anon/proud parent of my evil girlboss daughter!

She's going to get killed, or worse than death, publicly disgraced!

I love how much this shows where her priorities lie, this simple sentence summarising her complex character.

The part about her seeing herself in both Clara and Anna is very touching, being forced to come to terms with her vulnerability through these two people who clearly resemble a part of her, a fragment of her history and who she once was before forcing herself to step over her bleeding heart and take as much from the world as it allows her to get away with, no matter who she hurts or betrays.

The romance chance with Maria is quite beautiful, especially with Maria using similar tactics. She's so desperately trying to amount to what her mother was whilst playing the role of a damsel to manipulate people *cough* bachelor *cough* into doing her bidding. Maria is only her true genuine self around people she knows she can't use, aka Artemy and Clara sometimes.

Two characters who are incredibly selfish, who have no qualms about throwing other people under the bus, meet each other, and love makes them discover the sweetness of selflessness for once.

God the Aglaya thing, lmao. Yeah, I see it.

Aglaya always puts all her cards on the table. She is upfront and doesn't beat around the bush. This method was seen controversial in the inquisiton, her previous teacher, Inquisitor Herman Orff.

Her ways are brutally direct, harsh even. She views betrayal as the ultimate crime, no other crime exists in her eyes. So Franz doing that from behind her back would absolutely burn any bridges between them, brand her as a criminal traitor in Aglaya's eyes for eternity.

Daniil "I'd rather die than lie" Dankovsky and her clearly won't get along—that man is too righteous for his own good. I don't see him going as extreme as killing unless she personally wronged him, his research or Eva. Then yeah he's grabbing the pistol, especially with the way he snaps at lategame.

Wonderful OC overall, anon! I adore her.

On Wu’s backstory:

Wu is a character many people find annoying, but I enjoy. His backstory is vague at best. Here is what we know.

Wu is the grand nephew of Hou-Ting. He is the only heir to the throne.

At some point he moved to Republic City. Commentary implies that he was there doing a degree

At some point Mako was made his bodyguard. Commentary implies that Mako was his bodyguard for the three years.

The canon status of all commentary is debatable. As far as I see it, the show is true canon, the only reason we take the commentary as canon is because nothing contradicts it, but it is particularly substantial.

So, let’s analyse this backstory. This is all my personal opinion and headcanon and based upon what I find interesting and what fits Wu’s character as we see it in Book 4.

Was there a Royal Family massacre and is Wu traumatised?

We don’t see any other family members than Hou-Ting in Book 3. In Book 4, we are introduced to Wu, and only Wu. He is the heir to the throne.

At the end of book 3, Ba Sing Se falls to a the angry citizens of Ba Sing Se. We do see them enter the palace. They are seen looting and burning.

So, did this mob murder the rest of the Royal Family? Wu is the only heir. He is the grand nephew. This implies both his parents and grandparents are dead. What happened to them? They all must have died fairly young if Wu is the heir as a twenty something in Book 4.

I believe this is the basis of the ‘royal family massacre’ argument. Wu is too young to be the only heir to the throne. And the mob were angry. Therefore, the heirs above Wu were killed.

Now to be clear: the real reason Wu is a young heir is because Bryke wanted someone young for Mako to bounce off of. He’s around the same age as Mako but has a completely different life to him. Wu is not serious whereas Mako is. Wu is flippant and Mako is serious. Wu is extroverted and Mako is introverted. Wu is rich, Mako is not. This contrast is more fun if they’re the same age.

I say this because I think it’s clear that Wu was created with no clear trauma in mind. Wu does not act especially scared, or traumatised by the past. He is cautious and scared of hearing of Hou-Ting’s death, but acts in a comedic manner (fake strangling sounds) but then resumes a proper mourning action (may she rest in piece). Wu acts fairly silly throughout the series, enjoys the attention from fans, and even towards the end he creates a plan that he hopes will gain him attention from Korra. Wu is breezy and flippant and shallow, only really maturing towards the end and appears to be genuinely committed to dismantling the monarchy.

The trauma seen in fan works is a result of fan expansions, and personally I don’t really see it having a strong basis in the show. Wu is never really shown to be scared, or withdrawn at any points. Wu is never shown to be angry at the local populace who killed his family, as although Wu is shallow he never treats anyone badly. So is he masking? That’s totally up to your interpretation. Wu could be burying all his negative emotions and is acting out to hide his trauma. This is perfectly plausible. Personally, the lack of anger is what slightly damns this interpretation for me, I’m sure he’d show something.

Also I don’t think Wu not being fully prepared to take the throne is unreasonable— it makes sense if he was going to finish his education before starting public duties and gaining more political experience. And he could have made public experiences but still be fairly shallow. It’s implied that the Dai Li have a great degree of power so Wu not taking things that seriously or having a lot of experience is perfectly reasonable: it’s not needed for him to do so. So no, I don’t think Wu being the primary heir to the throne has to be sudden and unexpected because Wu isn’t very well prepared or serious.

How Old is Wu?

If you take the idea that he was in Republic City doing a degree when Hou-Ting was murdered, he could have been eighteen at the time, and twenty-one by the time of Book 4. He could be older. He could have started the degree at a younger age however, so he could even be nineteen at the start of Book 4.

If you ignore the idea that Wu was in Republic City prior to Book 3, and only came to Republic City to be safe after the Queen’s death, he could he even younger, potentially around eighteen in Book 4 if you HC him as young, but he could also still be older than Mako. Basically nothing confirmed, but I think it does depend on how seriously you take the commentary about the degree.

Have Wu and Mako worked together for three years?

This is going to be my strongest opinion, but I don’t think their relationship makes much sense if they’ve known eachother for three years.

I feel like this was meant to explain what Mako was doing for three years, but Mako doing his job as a detective was enough. So I don’t think it was needed.

In the episode where Wu’s coronation is ruined, Wu has a breakdown. Mako asks why he even wants to be King. He apologises, and Wu says that ‘no-one ever spoke to him like that’.

No-one has ever spoken to Wu like, even Mako. For three years? I don’t buy it. Mako is professional but he does talk back to Wu. Mako doesn’t think Wu is deserving of power just because he was born into it. I can’t believe Mako would his tongue on Wu for three years.

Also, I think Wu and Mako have a nice arc over Book 4. They get to know each-other more deeply. Mako sees the more mature side of Wu. I just don’t get the impression that they really knew each other that well beforehand, and I think you’d learn more about each other if you were together 24/7 for three years.

Obviously a lot of fan works expand on this and make the whole three years together thing make sense (by making them fuck usually and then having ensuing drama), but my critique is that I often think this over explains Wu’s character and ignores the very real shallowness Wu does show in early Book 4 by making It doesn’t meant I don’t love these fics, but I just don’t really ever reconcile them with the version of Wu we see in the show.

What I headcanon.

Again, this is literally just headcanon, and the events have no real confirmation in canon, it’s just what I think is both interesting and what I think matches with Wu’s characterisation in the show, whilst also giving him a backstory and more depth.

Wu’s grandparent and heir to the throne had one child, who became Wu’s father. This grandparent and heir dies. This grandparent dies young.

Wu’s parent’s were married. It was a political arrangement as Wu’s mother was from a rich family. Their marriage is strained. They have one child, Wu and don’t really talk to eachother much. Wu’s Dad dies young from partying too hard. Wu is left the only heir.

Wu’s mother remarries a wealthy baron or something. Because of not doing widowhood properly she is not welcome at the palace and moves away from Ba Sing Se. She and Wu have a strained relationship, since she never really wanted Wu in the first place. They sometimes exchange letters. (This could be swapped for his father and his mother was the heir but honestly I just wanted a strained relationship with a maternal figure. She got her happy ending but not with Wu).

Wu and Queen Hou-Ting have a very strained relationship as Hou Ting considers him weak, and despises animals which Wu loves.

Wu ends up with no real close familial relationship and is used to never really caring about anything. He is very isolated and is mostly raised by Dai-Li appointed carers.

At twenty ish Wu decides he wants out and asks to study in Republic City. The Queen is against this but Wu is insistent and she sees it as an excuse to get him out of her hair.

Wu moved to Republic City. After the fall of the walls, the Dai Li are in disarray as much of the leadership flees the city. Wu was previously appointed Dai Li bodyguards but Republic City officials replace them with city appointed bodyguards instead to maintain order. Unsure of how to proceed with Wu, Raiko and the other leaders agree that Wu shall complete his degree whilst Kuvira restores order. Wu is rarely included in meetings that decide the Earth Kingdom’s policy because they don’t like him and everyone just accepts he will be a King supported by his advisors and won’t rule himself.

Wu is of course horrified but he has a lack of personal stake in the death of his great aunt other than the realisation that he is now under a lot of pressure, which Wu mostly just ignores.

Wu completed his degree. After this, he begins to move into the public sphere and begins to make public appearances. Instead of a rotating team of bodyguards he requests a personal one, Mako, because he saw him a newspaper and thought he was hot really cool. This happens around six months before Republic City.

Mako treats Wu as a job, but the events of Book 4 eventually push them to become better friends and get to know eachother. Wu matures What happens next is either comics canon or my own ideas.

This is complete headcanon and I expect some people disagree! Hope it makes sense.

Haha hey remember that post I made awhile back, speculating on what a bad idea it might be to fuse dead things in the godless Frankenstein fossil machine

Meet White. He is a reanimated corpse. Two of them, actually. Or more like 1.5. [And I whipped up this half-assed partial reference sheet in one night instead of sleeping, so don’t look too hard at the chickenscratch lineart and visible guidelines, and kindly ignore the total lack of shading as well as any other messy jankiness.]

White is a product of me wondering not only about what happens if you NecroFuse a human with a Pokemon, but also what happens if you make it even worse and specifically fuse that human with a Pokemon capable of mega evolution. Because canon seems to imply that mega evolving is at best deeply uncomfortable -- and at worst outright agonizing -- for whatever creature is going through it.

Character Lore under the cut. Lots of text:

White is one of actually multiple undead guys who got mashed together with bits of dead Pokemon. They’re science experiments, so they've got the dex numbers of the Pokemon they're spliced with tattooed on the backs of their necks, and those numbers were treated as their names In The Evil Science Lab.

In his Original Life, White [and some of his buddies] got gored to death by some escaped Horrible Fucking Monsters that were accidentally [...and then not-so-accidentally] created via Two Pokemon At Once In A Fossil Resurrection Machine, because hey, it is SUPER easy to think you got Just One Thing's Bones from an excavation dig but then later you realize that Some Of Those Bones were from something TOTALLY different that just died in the same place. It happens. So, some Fossil Scientist People accidentally resurrected an Abomination, realized they fucked up pretty fast...and then started wondering if they REALLY fucked up or if this is Cool, Actually. And then the team of Science People split into two Morality Factions, with one half being like “This is unethical as shit, we need to make sure this doesn't happen again because it's not natural so who knows how this poor fucked up creature is suffering” and the other, cooler half being like “WE NEED TO DO THIS AGAIN RIGHT NOW BECAUSE SCIENCE. IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES HOLY SHIT.”

Cooler group splits off from the Horrified Group With Morals, and they promptly use their Science Knowledge to Construct More Machines and Make More Monsters. Doesn't take too long for them to realize, however, that Abomination Pokemon are stupidly hard to control, because not only are they suffering, their masters obviously don't care for their wellbeing, so Revolt Inevitably Occurs and they escape to wreak havoc upon the nearest congregation of townspeople. They promptly maul some people to death at a nearby local rock concert, scientists chase after them to clean up the mess, realize “Oh Shit, Manslaughter Charges Impending”, and then realize...

Science Guy 1: “...Hey, what happens if you put a dead person in the fossil machine?”

Science Guy 2: “Hey, people probably listen better than Pokemon. We can, like, TALK to people.”

Science Guy 3: “Lads, I got a stellar idea just now. And we got plenty of Dead Guys to start with right here! Great way to hide the bodies too, probably.”

This goes approximately as well as you would expect, and precisely as ethically. A smashing success!

However, because they Fucking Died, the reanimated Newly-Monsterized dudes do not remember shit about who they were pre-resurrection. They're not technically even the same people, they’re more like clones. They've been remade. So, all they know now is Science Lab Life, and they have no initial attachment to eachother aside from "that other guy is also a Science Experiment Person just like me, so Same Hat @ Labrat Neighbour ig", in spite of several having been friends or even family prior to death. They also just...don’t know/remember things in general. They are fresh blank slates. And to a morally-bankrupt team of scientists, that’s perfect! They can train these guys to behave however they please!

...However, people might be People Instead Of Animals, meaning they can be Reasoned With And Manipulated And Coerced far better than animals due to their far better communication abilities with the Science People, but...there is Still A Problem in the sense that Holy Shit, A Person Can Only Take So Much. You can only treat someone as "Experiment [number]" for so long, blatantly putting no value on their life outside of The Value Of Scientific Research, in spite of literally basically needing to raise them like a normal child due to the Lack Of Memories issue. Eventually they're not gonna be able to take that anymore and they are gonna Fucking Leave, too. And they’re gonna be much harder to track down than the rampaging Pokemon were. Impossible, actually, once they’ve ripped out their tracking chips.

So then there's just these monster dudes, who don't actually know what they are because they weren't ever told anything more than necessary to get them to cooperate with Tests And Experiments, just Escaped Into Civilization and having NO idea how Anything works. Fun! Especially considering how, at first glance, these just look like Normal Dudes. Their monster bits either aren't apparent or just look like funky body modifications.

They've also got Science Things in them and they Don't Know What The Fuck Those Things Even Are. They've just got these little Devices in/on their chests, and they were never informed of the exact functions of them because there's no reason to explain to the experiment What Is Happening, just that the experiment needs to Hold Still and Cooperate and Now Do This, Now Do This, Now Do That, Good Job That's Enough For Today, etc.

Those devices contain both key stones and mega stones.

If you were a Mad Pokemon Scientist, you would most certainly be interested in the mega evolution phenomenon. What would YOU do if some of your Undead Fusion Experiments happened to be spliced with bits of Pokemon known to be capable of mega evolving? You’d kill two birds with one enigmatic set of stones, that’s what you’d do. Your Frankenstein Experiments can even TALK to you and tell you exactly what they are experiencing when you run tests on them! It’s perfect!

So, if a rock-bearing monster’s heart rate goes too high, part of the little device, which is a barrier between one type of rock and the other, opens up and Exposes One Rock To The Other Rock. Which exposes the monster to the Rock Energy Reaction. The greater the stress, the higher the dose. And I’m sure you can see the snowball effect that’s gonna create, at least the first time or two.

They were INTENDED to eventually be made to Physically Fight With Eachother to gauge the effects of The Rocks™️ when the Guys With The Rocks are under Stress and need to Do Some Self-Defense. The Science Squad was basically trying to suss out the Actual Purpose of mega evolution. Because mega evolution is weird -- it puts ENORMOUS stress on the body of whatever is undergoing it, so the hypothesis was that its true power is probably drawn out best via a perceived life-threatening situation, like it’s a type of hysterical strength, because what else would cause a need for that kind of ability. And aren’t ethics a bit overrated?

So, there’s our premise. White is just wandering around without any particular purpose outside of never ever going back to Science Hell, and he has no clue what the funny little doohickey buried in his chest does until it activates one day and absolutely fucks him up [...as well as everyone around him. Mega Absol radiate an Aura Of Sheer Terror that can literally scare people with weak hearts to death if they’re not careful.]

And now, some Miscellaneous Character Info:

The bit about Lots Of Death happening at a rock concert specifically was important. White was actually the vocalist of the band that was playing. He doesn’t remember that now, but he still loves music and has the same strong vocal cords. And THAT is important because White is partially an Absol now and Absol naturally learns Perish Song. These Fusion Monsters are absolutely capable of using Pokemon moves, though whether they’re aware of this is a different matter entirely. Imagine what happens when they end up tapping into those abilities accidentally.

That band was a relatively-unknown little local band. White was by no means anywhere near famous. Very few people even realized he was gone, and most of the ones who would have noticed also ended up Equally Unalive.

That black stuff between the belts on White’s arms is mesh. Like, stocking mesh. It gets Ripped The Fuck Apart when he goes Mega Mode and his arm fur gets Extra Spiky. Hence one stocking being a bit tattered in that reference pic. He frequently has to replace those things, they are fragile.

“How did White get his name if he doesn’t remember his original name and didn’t have a real name in the lab” I am glad you asked! Post-escape, he eventually encountered a situation where someone asked him what his name was, he bluntly told them “I don’t have one. I am #359.”, they said “Well That Is Not A Name, I need something proper to call you”, and he was just...Super Apathetic. So, the other person picked out the name “White” just based on the fact that White’s hair is white, and he just shrugged and rolled with it.

As you can see in my Incredibly Quick And Rough Sketches, the backs of White’s shirts are open to accommodate that huge amount of fur that bristles out into false wings when he goes Mega Mode. Because his Actual Normal Hair is relatively long and overlaps with that fur, it blends in with his Actual Normal Hair and doesn’t look too odd [when it’s down]. Probably mostly because nobody’s expecting it to be anything OTHER than Perfectly Normal Hair That Just Happens To Be Very Long.

White does not particularly like violence. White does not want to beat you up. He will, though, without a bit of hesitation, if there’s some logical reason he feels like it’s the most practical course of action. Being essentially raised by Cold, Emotionally-Sterile Scientists With No Care For The Wellbeing Other Living Beings uh, tends to affect a guy a little bit. White has a bit of an internal dilemma regarding “It would be efficient for me to just Harm This Other Person to defuse the current situation, because attempting nonviolence will be overall more risky somehow” vs. “Holy shit it feels bad when I hurt people. Why does it feel bad when I hurt people. Is it...SUPPOSED to feel bad when I hurt people?? No one ever felt bad for hurting me.” He Figures Out How Empathy Works Eventually. He is a good guy at heart. He is a Monotone Snarker, but not actually Cold or Malicious at all.

If an Absol can do it, White can probably do it. He has incredibly keen senses and a STRONG ability to Detect Impending Doom. He has exactly the amount of Supernatural Absol Powers you would expect. He is also stupidly physically strong, way more so than he appears to be.

White can’t punch people. Look at the fist he’s making in the pic, he’s doing it wrong. If you punch someone like that, you WILL break your own thumb. That’s not a Revving Up To Sock Someone pose, he’s just tense. He’s using his thumb as a buffer between his long-ass Sharp As Fuck claws and the flesh of his palm. If White tries to punch anybody, or just makes a proper fist at all, he will impale his own hand on his nails. Like, all the way through. He CAN slash straight through things like metal and bone with those claws, though.

White...is unsettling. Completely accidentally, and unknowingly. He just radiates an Aura Of Intimidation [...or Pressure], even when not in Mega Mode, that scales depending on his mood. Just being near him tends to put people and Pokemon on edge. Thus, he’s generally avoided.

The latter point is especially unfortunate, because White’s preferred method of Socializing and Bonding is to just kind of quietly hang out in the same room as whoever he is trying to Socialize and Bond with. He just wants to, like...chill out Near A Buddy and watch a movie and share a bag of chips or something. His social skills are predictably not good.

ok so here it is!! i spent the last week solely making and listening to this playlist like i was POSSESED because this ship is lovely and deserved a nice playlist!  if anyone wants to know why i picked each song, i’m going to ramble about it extensively in the read more, so check that out if you want! hope you enjoy it! also thanks again to @birbwell​ for letting me use her art for the cover!

i divided this playlist in a few sections so let’s start with the first one (section one: first meeting/pining) i. in the rain - joe hisaishi i wanted to start with a short instrumental track to set the mood, and i looooove howl’s moving castle score, so i had to pick this one! the fact that it has rain in the title also helps to reference how their relationship began! ii. with every breath i take - frank sinatra “every breath that I take is a prayer that i’ll make you mine” my sister is a big sinatra/jazz fan (and also a yakuza fan) so she helped me with picking a few of the songs here! this one is very romantic, elegant and beautiful and i thought it fit the mood (and it’s what i think tachibana listens to in his free time lmao).

iii. gold rush - taylor swift “what must it be like to grow up that beautiful? with your hair falling into place like dominoes my mind turns your life into folklore i can't dare to dream about you anymore” this one is my FAVORITE song on this playlist, and one of the first i picked because this song just fits them like a glove. it’s basically pining 101, and i love that what taylor said this song is about “daydreaming about someone then snapping out of it.” i feel like the first part could be from tachibana’s perspective and the second one from kiryu’s (also giving a bit of a glimpse into the future, with the mention of a coastal town they’ll never find together) iv. first love/late spring - mitski “so please, hurry, leave me, i can't breathe please don't say you love me mune ga hachikire-sōde (my heart seems like it’s going to burst)” this one was another song i picked very early on because i love mitski, and i needed to include her here. i just wanted something to symbolize the trust that tachibana and kiryu have to share to work together, and the feelings that emerge from it, if that makes any sense. i don’t think this has a specific perspective, because i feel like this could work from both kiryu’s and tachibana’s (mostly kiryu though) v. real estate - adam melchor “every time I wonder how i'd carry on without you i'm runnin' out of real estate tryna make all the right moves i don't wanna hesitate i would bet the house on you “ do you UNDERSTAND how satisfying it was to find a song named real estate for them?? come ooon. ok that’s not all of my reasoning for it but it’s like. most of it, lmao another song i felt was about trust and feelings. (also a bit of a glimpse into the future, because i’m sad) vi. i get a kick out of you - ella fitzgerald “i get no kick from champagne mere alcohol doesn't thrill me at all so tell me why should it be true that i get a kick out of you?” another one my sister recommended. i originally was gonna go with sinatra’s version of this, but i love this one and it just wouldn’t leave my brain. again, one from mostly tachibana’s perspective, get this man to sing this on karaoke night right now. vii. like real people do - hozier  “i will not ask you where you came from i would not ask and neither would you honey, just put your sweet lips on my lips we could just kiss like real people do” this is one of my all time favorites from hozier and, again, it just fit perfectly. tachibana and kiryu have both lived some very... troubled lives so far, and while they’re depending on this trust they have in eachother, none of them really care to know about what they’ve done or who they are. this is mostly from kiryu’s perspective, specially with this metaphor of being rescued/dug up from the earth with the whole being found in the rain and saved by tachibana and his poor driving skills. viii. delicate - taylor swift “this ain't for the best my reputation's never been worse, so you must like me for me... we can't make any promises now, can we, babe? but you can make me a drink” y’all are going to have to forgive me for picking TWO taylor swift songs but COME OOOON this is another one that i picked early on because i could draw so many parallels between the lyrics and things that they both said in that car scene on chapter 9 (mostly tachibana though) and i kept harassing my sister with screenshots to prove my point and i’m gonna do it again

ANYWAYS i’ve made my case, and now we enter the second section of the playlist at last ( section 2: actual romantic/fluffy songs because this is a ship playlist) i. good old-fashioned lover boy - queen “dining at the ritz we'll meet at nine (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 o'clock) precisely i will pay the bill, you taste the wine driving back in style in my saloon will do quite nicely just take me back to yours that will be fine” is this a bit of a cliché? yes. did i want to include it because it’s very cute and i’d like to imagine kiryu and tachibana having a nice date night with no people trying to kill them all the time? also yes. i love this song.

ii. stay with me/mayonaka no door - miki matsuraba “you in your gray jacket with that oh-so-familiar coffee stain just as you always are the two of us reflect in the window display stay with me knocking on midnight's door i beg you not to go home tonight” (translated lyrics) is anyone not obsessed with this song lately? this is the only song here i’m blaming tiktok for making me listen to it lol. in any way, this song is deceptive because it sounds really happy but is actually quite melancholic. i thought it fit their relationship well, and it seemed like a good addition to the playlist with it’s 80′s city pop vibes.

iii. on melancholy hill - gorillaz (covered by matt forbes) “just looking out on the day of another dream where you can't get what you want, but you can get me so let's set out to sea, love 'cause you are my medicine when you're close to me" this is a gorillaz song but i went with this cover because it fit the feeling of the playlist a little better. another song that i just love very deeply and i thought fit the sentiment of kiryu being like “hey i know we have Big problems and you’re very sad in the moment but i’m here for you” iv. (i love you) for sentimental reasons - nat king cole "i think of you every morning dream of you every night darling, i'm never lonely whenever you are in sight" surprisingly, not one that my sister recommended, but one i found for myself while looking for quiet  romantic songs. i feel like this is tachibana's reply to kiryu being there for him and helping him. plus, idk i just wanted to imagine them slow dancing to this. v. positions - ariana grande (covered by travis atreo) "perfect, perfect you're too good to be true but I get tired of runnin', fuck it now, i’m runnin' with you" i picked this cover because i felt like using ariana's one would be a little goofy for this section lmao, but i really like this song and how it's about commitment and doing everything to make a relationship work. i just wanted to throw some sexy vibes before this playlist delved into depressing stuff. also if you telling me tachibana wouldn't absolute body a tiktok set to this song you're lying to yourself. (section 3: oh no this is getting sad) i. forever - labrinth "i'll live forever" i love everything labrinth makes, the euphoria soundtrack lives in my mind rent free and this is my favorite one. this barely has any lyrics so, again, mostly a track i picked for its intrumentals and feeling overall. mostly preparing you for the sad stuff ahead. ii. hong kong - gorillaz "you swallow me i'm a pill on your tongue here on the nineteenth floor the neon lights make me calm" this is my favorite gorillaz song, by FAR, and i think it's introspective vibe really fits tachibana's character. not really a song about relationship but i really wanted to include it because it's just such a GORGEOUS song. iii. fragments - severon another instrumental track! this one i stole from a playlist my sister made for a fic i wrote last year. again. sad vibes. iv. sign of the times - harry styles (covered by LANY) "remember everything will be alright we can meet again somewhere somewhere far away from here" i loved the synth-y vibe this cover had, while still keeping this song's sad "our lives are dangerous and i'm about to die" vibes. i mostly wanted to evoke the vibe from the scene where tachibana agrees to go with lao gui after kiryu gets shot. just really sad all around. v. so close - jon mclaughlin "we're so close to reaching that famous happy end almost believing this one's not pretend let's go on dreaming though we know we are so close, so close, and still so far" me? picking a song from disney's enchanted??? for a playlist??? it's more likely than you think. idk this song just gives me that vibe of being so close to being happy and together, almost reminiscing and wondering what could have been. but it just... won't happen. vi. as the world caves in - matt maltese "yes, it's you i welcome death with as the world, as the world caves in" oops, yes, i had to go there. just couldn't resist including this song, and i feel like it's really self-explanatory. vii. places we won't walk - bruno major "neon lights shine bold and bright buildings grow to dizzy heights people come alive at night in places we won't walk" again, i feel like this song speaks for itself. a bit of a meditation on kiryu's perspective on things that could have happened, things they would have done, that kiryu will just have to do alone from now on. viii. carry me out - mitski "i drive when it rains at night, when it rains, i drive and the headlight spirits they lead me down the styx so black it shines and carry me out carry me out"

possibly the saddest and the most powerful song in this playlist, because i just had to put a mitski song again. the image of kiryu carrying tachibana's body is just constantly in my mind when i listen to this, but i could also see this song being from the perspective of tachibana's spirit. ix. arms tonite - mother mother "i died in your arms tonight i slipped through into the afterlife it was nice" lmao this felt a bit like a cruel joke to include, but i didn't want this playlist to end TOO depressingly. it's a nod to tachibana dying in kiryu's arms, sure, but also it's romantic and possibly a little hopeful (tachibana lives au!!! orpheus and eurydice au!!! fuck it, idk!!)  xi. everybody wants to rule the world - tears for fears "there's a room where the light won't find you holding hands while the walls come tumbling down when they do, i'll be right behind you so glad we've almost made it so sad they had to fade it everybody wants to rule the world" not a recommendation from my sister, but it is her favorite song, and she was happy that i included it. another 80's bop with sad lyrics! i feel like this is a lovely summary of their story together and it feels like a nice little bow to wrap up the playlist.  i hope you enjoyed my long ass explanations! i might add songs later (or make an entire second playlist altogether for the fic i'm writing rn, but let's not get ahead of ourselves)

You Are Always Mine - Chappter 7

- 27 Apr 2021

- seventh chapter of a series (YAAM)

- catboy/shapeshifter hyunjin & music producer chan

- top chan x bottom hyunjin

-----------

Felix opened the door to Chan's apartment. He was glad that he had gotten a spare key, because after minutes of knocking and shouting, they still hadn't gotten a response. Minho felt guilty for disturbing the neighbours, but Felix was set on finding his best friend. Felix walked in, looking around. Nothing seemed abnormal, no sign of a break in, no sign of a fight or struggle. Felix sighed and bit his lip, making sure to check every inch of the apartment. Minho came inside too, trying to look for hints that they might still be here. Looking at clothes, jewelry, food, anything that might suggest that it was recently moved or touched. But it seemed like the apartment had been empty for days. Felix got more and more worried, knowing something bad had happened. The two boys looked at eachother, sharing the same thought. "We have to go to the police. They can't just disappear like this." Felix said, worry laced into every word. Minho nodded in agreement, tilting his head. "But how will we tell the police about Hyun? I don't know anything about him except his name." Felix gasped softly, realizing he didn't know much about Hyun either. Plus, he couldn't just tell the police Hyun was a shapeshifter. Minho didn't know about that either, it was just Chan, Felix and Hyun that knew about it. Felix took a deep breath as he decided on what to do. "We'll go to the police and report Chan. Hyun can't be far off, they stay together every second of the day."

Minho shrugged. "What if they've been seperated? We don't know anything about what happened to them." Felix sighed deeply. "That's true.. but.. if we find Chan, he might know where Hyun is." Minho nodded. "Yeah.. let's hope they didn't kill him." Felix gasped and hit Minho's shouder. "Hyung! Don't say that! Don't make it sound so.. horrible." Minho held up his hands in defense, looking at the freckled boy. "I'm sorry. I'm just imagining every scenario possible. They could've been kidnapped, murdered, taken by sex traffickers.. Anything is possible when you've got two handsome young men." Felix groaned and looked down. "We have to find them. I'm not giving up on Chan so easily." Minho put a hand on Felix's shoulder. "We'll find them eventually. I can't promise that I can predict what state they'll be in, but they'll come back." Felix huffed and pushed Minho's hand off, annoyed by his slightly negative response. "Stop saying that stuff. He's your friend too, you know." Felix walked to the door, taking one last look at the apartment. "I'll find you Chan. I will keep searching." Felix stepped out of the apartment, Minho following him. They locked the door, making their way to the nearest police station. Felix was determined. He had to find his best friend. He wouldn't forgive himself if he hadn't tried everything in his power. ➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶ An overwhelming rush of emotions went through Chan's body. He couldn't believe it, this couldn't be a reality. His childhood friend, his cat and the handsome young male that had stayed with him for a while... they were all the same. One person, one creature. Chan's eyes filled with tears, remembering the sorrow he had felt when he first heard about Hyunjin's untimely death. It wasn't true. Hyunjin had been alive all along. Chan fought against his restraints, the only thing on his mind was having Hyunjin in his arms, close to him. Chan groaned, angered by the reality of the situation. "How could you?! Taking a kid from a car crash and faking his death! Do you know how much he meant to me?!" The doctor chuckled darkly and stepped to Chan, smiling at the tears that rolled down. "Oh poor Channie. If we succeeded in our plan, you would've met the same fate a long time ago." The doctor hummed and let his hand glide over Chan's chest. "This strong heart would be a part of a powerful hybrid duo. You would've been perfect together." The doctor glanced at Hyunjin. "You are perfect already. It's just a bit sad that you escaped our grasp. The outside world shouldn't have known you exist." Chan's eyes widened as he suddenly felt the hand of the doctor wrap around his throat, restricting the air flow and leaving him gasping for air. Hyunjin whined, fighting against his own restraints. "No! You let go of him! Don't hurt him! You can hurt me all you want but please leave him alone!" Hyunjin whimpered as couldn't get out from his position, feeling helpless and useless. The doctor ignored Hyunjin's shouts, just watching Chan fight for any tiny bit of air. "You should've never rescued that little kitty, Chan. You are the reason of your own doom." Hyunjin growled and did his best to get free, but he had almost no strength. The doctor watched Chan grow more desperate for oxygen, loving to see him struggling. "Wilson? Will you come back in and administer this youngster his first shot of hybrid juice?" The other doctor, named Wilson, came back into the room. "Yes sir. I'll prepare the dna. Which one did you have in mind?" The main doctor huffed. "I don't care, just get it done, will you?!" The main doctor finally let go of Chan's throat, who took a huge breath, having been deprived of oxygen for enough time to lose consciousness after that. Hyunjin bit his lip, anger welling up inside of him. "I hate you! You have no reason to hurt him like that! Please just, let him go. You already have me." The main doctor walked to Hyunjin, laughing softly. "Oh dear, you don't get it, do you? You never will." The doctor stroked over Hyunjin's head, who tried to pull away as much as possible. "Now, when Chan wakes up, we'll all watch how he experiences his first dose of hybrid dna. You remember how painful your shots were, hm? I always loved to see you in pain." Hyunjin looked at the doctor with big eyes, scared of Chan's and his fate. He wondered if they would ever get the chance to escape again. ➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶➴➵➶ Felix and Minho waited at the police station, having been taken apart in an investigation room. They would speak to an officer soon, who would look into their case. Felix was nervous, Minho trying to console him. "It's okay. They'll find them." Felix glanced at the older, then taking his hand. Minho was surprised at first, but then relaxed, knowing the Australian boy needed skinship to be calmed down. Minho smiled gently at him. "I'll stay with you the whole time. We can ask the others to join in the search too. You're not alone in this." Felix nodded and sighed deeply, holding onto Minho's hand tightly. As the police officer came in, they both quickly got up, greeting the officer. After sitting back down, the police officer asked them to explain the situation. Felix cleared his throat, glancing at Minho before taking a deep breath and starting to explain. "Well, our friend, Bang Chan, he's been missing for days. We've tried calling, texting.. We even went to his apartment to check if something was out of place." The officer nodded, writing everything down. "How did you get into his apartment?" "I have a spare key. I can give it to you if you need it." The officer shook his head. "No need, just checking if you didn't break in." Felix chuckled. "Oh okay. No we wouldn't do that." The officer hummed and looked at Felix and Minho. "Can you describe the days before he went missing? What he looks like? If he had any connections that seemed suspicious?" Felix gulped, knowing they would be here for a while. He explained about the days leading up to the disappearing, and then told the officer he had been calling and texting every day since. How long had it been? Four, five days? Or was it already a week? Felix looked down, closing his eyes as he tried to remember what Chan had looked like the last time he saw him. Minho explained as well, helping Felix in creating an almost perfect description of who Chan was. They were still holding hands, needing eachother's strength to make it through this. As they had told everything they could, Felix sighed deeply and leaned back. The officer looked at the report, surprised at how much information he had gotten from the two boys. "Now, is there anything that we still might've forgotten? Someone he was close to? A detail that normally would be deemed unimportant." Felix bit his lip, not wanting to touch on the subject, but he hoped it would still help. "There was someone. Hyun. We met him weeks ago but... he's special." The officer tilted his head. "And what makes this Hyun so special?" Felix whispered something, being embarassed to even bring it up in front of a police officer. Minho furrowed his eyebrows, wondering what Felix wanted to say. Was there more? Didn't they already share everything necessary? Felix took a deep breath before talking a bit louder. "Hyun is a shapeshifter. He can transform from a cat to human and back." Minho scoffed, thinking Felix was kidding. Had he lost his mind? The officer seemed intrigued. "A shapeshifter you say? Like a hybrid?" Felix shrugged but nodded. "Yeah. Half human half cat." The officer nodded. "That might lead us to what we've been thinking of.." Felix sat up. "You.. you know about shapeshifters?" The officer hummed and looked at the two boys. "We know about people who've been used as experiments at this secret lab. We see victim after victim, and they're not always alive.. We think we have discovered the location of the lab, we have a raid planned in a few days. But with this information, we might speed up the process. An innocent life is at stake." Minho just looked at Felix and the officer with big eyes. Shapeshifters? Lab? What was this all about?

[phocids]

ok here are my reasoning for the cards, big spoilers for the whole game

-hajime as the magician

the magician represents manifestation, action, and resourcefulness which I think really fits him especially in the ch 6 with him choosing the future and to make his own path with the other survivors

-ibuki as the sun

throughout the whole game shes positive and warm. taking the time to set up a concert and help everyone have fun even tho they're in a awful situation

-chiaki as the hanged man

this card represents surrender, letting go, and new perspectives which I think really fits with her deciding to go against her programing and reveal herself as the "traitor" to save everyone in ch 5. as well as her encouraging hajime in ch 6

-sonia as strength

strength represents courage, compassion, and influence, which I think really fits with her whole thing as a princess as while as how she attempts to become the groups leader after twogami dies. she incredibly strong and compassionate and I lov her sm

-peko and fuyuhiko as the lovers

the lovers represent love, relationships, aligned values, and choice. since they've known eachother for so long they both know the other very well and care for each other deeply. they both trust eachother to the core and with the choice that peko made to get revenge for fuyuhiko and the choice that he made to not treat her as a object. them both trying to protect eachother in pekos final moments. thinking about them <3

-junko and izuru as the tower

this one fits both on the level of junko meeting izuru and immediately turning his life on its head. as well as izuru and junko (post mortemly) inserting the usb and causing the killing game in the neo world program

[Sir. S] Tendou Satori

Pairing: Tendou Satori x Reader

Genre: Kinda Abusive, Mafia!(+ Joker&Harley relationship)

GIF is not mine!

a/n: really love the idea how twisted and crazy Tendou could be “ψ(｀∇´)ψ so why not?

Was it because of the toxic waste that made you insane? Was it because of the excruciating abuse you have gone through to think this monster loves you? What was to be blamed. When you desired this ever since you got hypnotized by his own lies.

"Such an angel."

His fingers would trace your hair locks slowly, you would grin at everything he would do to you. Even if it was suppose to make you cry in pain.

"My angel."

His hand would curl on top of your head, gripping, and pulling on the roots of your hair. He'd force your head up to meet with his face, you'd be giggling like a mad woman, wanting nothing more than to have his bloodstained lips against yours. Wanting his abnormally sharp teeth bite your lower lips, your tongue. It wasn't a surprise that soon you'd become addicted to the metallic scent and taste of eachothers blood. Not when you seem to have a crack on your brain that will forever be damaged in complete sanity.

No one dared to mess with him. If there was, they have his consent. Guys like Ushijima, the guy who he admired, and followed in his footsteps. Except he was more dangerous, and menacing than the rest of the members in Shiratorizawa. Some say he's been like that since he was shut a child. Always enjoying people who get hurt. Even the way he sings his song, the meaning behind was much more deadly according to Semi. Having to experience killing someone with him as he sang that song.

And then there was you.

His Queen.

No woman was as broken in the head as you were. You were more terrifying than your boyfriend was. Ushijima pitied you deep inside, but he didn't utter a question on how the used to be sweet, and loving classmate of theirs grew up to be the only woman in Tokyo to be the deadliest. Kiyoko couldn't match your abilities, your risks. You were the embodiment of ride or die. The perfect match for Tendou.

And no one messes with his Queen. Until now.

"You know you're fucked."

They hated your face. Hated how you taunted them with your smiles. They hated the way you didn't show any cooperation despite having multiple death threats, and your skin being cut deeply with a knife as you were cuffed on a chair.

"Sugawara, quiet her down."

He was kneeling beside you, cringing at the sound of your laughter getting louder as the knife neared your arm.

"Come on, pumpkin. Do it!"

Able to atleast lift the chair a little, you jolted your own arm up, letting the knife stab in before he could even try. You bit your lip at the sight of your blood oozing out of your skin. Sugawara felt a sweat slide from his forehead witnessing your reactions.

"Scary."

"She's more messed up than he was indeed."

You can hear the two rival members talk with eachother. You were excited to hear that Ushijima found some new rivals to play with, but didn't expect them to capture one of Shiratorizawa's defense. Which was you. But that didn't mean you weren't anticipating the next scene to be unfold soon enough.

"You are soooo screwed once Sir S comes here."

"Sir S?"

"What the hell—"

Laughing loudly with your head thrown behind. Weren't they warned? Didn't they just have two of their members, the orange and blue hatred male spy on your territory one time?

Weren't they aware of the death threat they've played upon themselves?

"So gullible. You two are adorable, birdies."

Giggling, the two shared a look at eachother before nodding. Daichi fishes his phone out of his pocket, dialing Hinata's number. Leaving Sugawara to interrogate you on who the person you were talking about. All details must be taken seriously if they wanted to get out of this alive.

"Are you talking about Ushijima?"

"What? Big Wakachan? Hell no. I'm talking about my sweeeeeet victory boy!"

Sighing dreamily. This always happens at the sheer mention of Tendou, you'd find yourself wetting your own panties or gushing over your man. It was like he's God, and you're a follower. He's the vodka you're willing to get drunk, and never get tired of drinking.

"You're so stupid to think you've captured Shiratorizawa's greatest defense!"

"GET OUT OF THERE, DAICHI! IT WAS A MISTAKE! WE DIDN'T KNOW—" Hinata's voice was booming against his phone, Sugawara can feel himself shaking a little. He never yelled like that. He's never heard his members feel so scared before. His wide eyes find your features, almost looking like a bloodlust creature.

"When you haven't even captured their monster yet~"

"SUGA—"

The roof above your heads came crashing down. A big hole can be seen as if someone had landed in front of you. The two males coughed the dust away, waiting for the smoke to clear out to get a better look a what has came. It was a matter of seconds before that happened, Daichi had managed to pull Sugawara to his side. Otherwise he would've been crushed by the weight of the concrete, and that person.

"Ara ara, lookie what I found."

For other people, they would be frozen as they stood on thin ice whenever they hear his voice. But for you, you were giggling in excitement, hands balling into a fist. You couldn't wait to be freed.

"I see you've got yourself in a tight situation, (Y/n)."

You tried to look innocent for him. In a way, it was working. He just grins behind him. "What kind of foreplay is this? You didn't tell me you were slutting around, and oh—"

Pretending to be surprised, he raises his hands in defense, looking baffled at Daichi and Sugawara crouching on the floor boards.

"And two?" he gasps exasperatingly, "Why, angel, I am offended. You didn't invite me to your threesome party." The tension was building up. Daichi couldn't think straight of a plan to escape when Tendou had this strange are editing from him. If he makes a moves, he can almost feel his body being pierced into a big hole by a knife or a gun.

"No no no! It's not what it seems Sir! They captured me! They think I'm a monster. See, they even scarred me."

Trying to push the chair slightly into the light, Tendou can make out the slashes of the knife, and the fresh wound on your arm. His eyes darkened before facing the two males again.

"Oh? So I see you've had your fun with my Queen. That must've been very enjoyable, don't you think, Daichi chan?"

No one answers.

Daichi remembers the last thing Hinata had yelled at him before everything went into a mess, "Don't ever get close to him! Just get out of there!" and the last being,

"Once he starts singing, make a run for it! He's got a machete!"

"Hey, (Y/n). Let's sing our little friends a song, hm? The tension is killing me."

Oh this was the part you were waiting for. It was even more fun to be singing a song, and watch him slowly grab the weapon behind this back. Secretly you had managed to uncuffed yourself earlier before this was about to happen. You could've escaped, but.

You weren't going to miss out another one of Tendou's play dates.

"Baki baki—"

"DAICHI!"

"I KNOW!"

Immediately, they draw their guns out, firing aimlessly around you and Tendou. Yelling out a curse, you covered yourself by the table as Tendou ran on the other side. Clearing a path, the two Karasuno members sprinted out. Not daring to look back at the room. Outside was Asahi, Tanaka and Nishinoya, waiting for them in their vehicle on guard.

Meanwhile back in the war looking room, Tendou got out of his hiding spot, and went over to you. Hissing at the stinging that was now kicking in all over your scarred limbs, he kneels down and examines you. Tracing has fingers softly on your arms with sadness in his eyes.

"Oh, my poor angel." cooing, he places a small kiss on each scar. Shivering at his addicting affections, you let out a whimper. "You must've been so scared, huh? Letting some scoundrels take you, and hurt you." his face was getting closer to yours, when his forehead was leaned against yours, the hand that was cradling your scarred arm suddenly grips onto your fresh wound. Biting your tongue from the pain, and holding back your tears.

"Only I am the person you are allowed to be scared." You can see his knuckles turn white. He was seething in rage, possessiveness.

"And only I—" biting on your lips, giving you one of his mouth sucking kiss. One where you have to push yourself away in order to breathe, "Only I can do this to you."

Instead of screaming when his nails found their way on your scar and digging them in. You giggled madly, tears falling from you eyes in which you call them your happy tears. Because he was here, Tendou was here. He came to save you.

And it was out of love.

It was out of love, you think.

"Yes, Sir S."

No sane person could handle what you were going through. To those who once did, has died gruesomely before. But you, oh you were a treat for Tendou. Being a sick freak he was, he was still being loved by a freakier person. And hearing you submit yourself to him, just drives him even more mad as the building was being set on fire, with both of your sinister laughter echoing.

I think I might’ve gottne a bit carried away with these and written to much, but thank you so much for sending them!! <3

3) What OC has a huge group of friends?

Pleur makes so many friends,it's just part of her nature to be outgoing and kind - and it earns her plenty of people who like her right back. Of course, exactly how close she is to all these people varies wildly. She has Dragon's Watch, she was friends with destiny's Edge, and her tighest group is Reverie's Vengeance - her own guild, her personal guild. Pleur genuinely does have a lot of friends, she has so many people she's kept in contact with to the best of her ability. She has a Kodan in Bitterfrost she still writes to, Restless Skies even came all the way down to Elona to help against Kralkatorrik. She has pact soldiers who she still gets letters from, who tell her about what happened in the Vigil halls last tuesday. She really does have friends all over the place,  despite how her doubts tell her otherwise.

9) What is your favourite platonic relationship betwen your OCs?

I have so many platonic relationships I love a lot, But I think I'm going to highlight just how interesting Paara and Sruffi's dynamic is. They're the resident Asura of Reverie's Vengeance, and ver such different outward personas. Paara is loud, she is harsh and stubborn and a fireborn leader - Sruffi meanwhile is very gentle, he's quiet in both voice and tone and struggles being in the spotlight. In a lot of ways, Sruffi regards Paara as something he wishes he could be like. He doesn't want to be loud and feisty like she is, but more, he wishes he had the self understanding she does. Paara knows what she wants and she's fought for it tooth and nail, She's a Centurion of the Iron Legion and she wanted it and she bled for it. Sruffi has no idea what it is he wants in the end, and he worries he's not even super sure who he is. This respect does go both ways though - Paara genuinely really enjoys Sruffi's company. He's talented at what he does, he's scarily good - but beyond that he's not some superior asshole with a ego. Paara knows she can get tangled in her own ego, but Sruffi never does. But on a level that's less, deep I guess, Paara really thinks of Sruffi as a little brother figure. He's not incapable, but she's absolutely always got an eye out for him and he absolutely appricates it. That, and they both have a lot of gripes about Rata Sum, the Council, and the Inquest they can complain about together - which is nice to get off their chests.

11) What is your favourite romantic relationship between your OCs?

Honestly, I really enjoy Matthia Prismbellow and Elvire's relationship for a bunch of different reasons. For one thing, they're a Charr/Human ship which just, inherently is fun - especially when Matt is so close to Rytlock, who absolutely is with Logan in their universe. Like father figure like son. And in terms of their actual personalities they're both very loud characters in terms of dress, but calm and quiet in terms of personality. Elvire is a Priest of Lysaa, and dresses exactly like the lavender pomp that implies, they are Extra. and At heart, Matt adores that style despite being quiet, shy almost, about embracing it for a long time. Really it's Elvire that helps give them the confidence in that regard. And in general Matt is just, drawn to Elvire's self-assurance and strange relaxed bombastic. And despite all the bluster Elvire deeply cares about everything, about people and about helping them and just - Matt loves it they really, really do. As for Elvire's view on Matt? Elvire has always been a fan of people who were slightly, eccentric. A giant charr who was less blood and swords and more colour and alchemy would catch their eye regardless of Matt's status as Commander. They've always enjoyed Matt's company, and trusted them. And when they were trapped in Maguuma is was Matt who found them, and it was Matt they prayed for. Elvire has their own walls, upheld by vanity and illusions and noble persona - Matt is one of the few people Elvire feels they can drop it with. And as much as illusion is freeing, so is discarding them.

15) Which OCs get along the worst with eachother?

The instant go-to is easily Merianus Blacktide and Ovidius Suneater. Meri and Ovidius were childhood best friends, raised in the Ash farhar together they were the only two magic users in their group, and Meri was quick to stand up for his new friend against their snarls about his 'Flame Legion magic'. They drifted apart very hard when Ovidius was taken out of their Warband, and Meri was assigned away towards Ebonhawke. And then Ovidius got dragged into the circle of a Flame legion recruiter. Now Meri might not have been present but he did hear of it, especially given Ovidius quikcly rose to be a High Shaman amongst Ghereon's Godforged, and Ash wanted to know whatever they could about him. Meri was already furious, about havign defended him for years and it being thrown in his face, about his friend joining Flame when most of Meri's childhood was being scared his father would be killed fighting that very legion. And then Ovidius attacks Ghost Warband (Paara's) workyard, in an effort to get Meri's attention. And it only goes more downhill from there, with Ovidius effectively stalking Meri and trying to force him into joining him in Flame. Even after Ovidius' realisation of his actions, after reaching out to the order of Whispers and getting out of Flame and actively helping stop them - Meri despises him. He can't stand to be in the same room, he had no time, no patience, nothing. Just vitriol. And Ovidius is never going to get his forgiveness. And that is how it's going to stay.

21) Which OCs knew eachother the shortest time before becoming close friends?

I already know this is a weird answer, and I'm also trying to spread which characters I talk about with all these! But! Cryssi and the Demond-Commander (technically known as 'Arch') honestly started getting along weirdly quickly. Arch isn't really, close to anyone in Dragon's Watch. They certainly care about them and their well-being, DR understadn that but they seem to trust Cryssi a lot with very little question. and Cryssi clearly has no issue with this. Maybe it's a Revenant thing. Cryssi fell out of the Mists at Rytlock's heels completely by chance and stumbling, and right into the clusterfuck that was the Maguuma campaign, no-one had time to really debate what they should do about this 'Prisoner' with no memories who isn't even aware what a Charr is when they are one. But the Demon trusts them, and Cryssi has seen Arch at their more vulnerable more times than anyone else. When Arch is limping away from a fight, it's a room with Cryssi and no-one else that they'll curl up in an rest for five minutes. It's Cryssi who they left speak in their place, be more of a figure than they'll ever be as a shadow skulking in the shadow of Tyria's largest threats. And Cryssi....is just glad to have someone who doesn't ask questions they genuinely have no answers for. Cryssi is just glad to have Arch find who they are now be more important than whatever lost past they have. Friends who stumble through the mists together, stick together.

“Wake up sleeping beauty.” you heard a voice say. You shifted in bed but didn’t get up. You knew it was later than usual but you were still asleep. Maybe it was from the constant rounds you had to go through all day yesterday. You don’t know what got into them but they were super horny and all needed you. It went from the minute you woke up until you just crashed. It’s been a week since their business dinner and ever since then they were really star struck with you. You figured once they saw you in action, thier want for you skyrocketed. And from the way they’ve been fucking you, you’d say it’s a safe assumption to make.

“She’s so pretty and peaceful when she’s asleep. You can count her eyelashes and watch her lips move as she breathes. You almost forget she’s the scariest woman alive.” you hear Baekhyun say.

“You sound like you’re in love.” Yixing teases and they all quietly laugh.

“You say that like we’re not all in love with her. I don’t know why you all are laughing. Just last night after she passed out, all of you were talking about not letting her go.” Baekhyun retorts shutting the laughing men up.

“Well you’re right but we can’t let her know that. Not now or it’ll get to her head and she’ll tease us to death today.” Jongin said.

“Too late. Maybe if you weren’t all crowded around my bed talking about me I wouldn’t know, but here you all are. And I love you too darlings.” you say as you turn over rubbing your face and opening your eyes. You see them all clad in sweatpants. Usually they only wore their boxers around.

“Well we had to wake you up princess. It’s getting late and it’s your big day.” Junmyeon said smiling at you.

“Do I have to go? I mean, everyone knows what I’ve done this year. It’s all they talk about. Do I really have to have an event for it.” you whine. Tonight was your business dinner and you were excited before but now you were tired and slightly sore and just wanted to spend the day not around a bunch of people who secretly hated you.

“Baby it’s already planned and way too late to cancel. And you are way too important to not attend your own dinner.” Minseok said as if stating the obvious. You sit up letting the sheet fall exposing your beautiful breast and pointed nipples. You hear them all choke and clear their throats. You look at them confused. It’s not like they’ve never seen you naked before. In fact, they’ve seen every part of you.

“What?” you ask almost offended at their staring.

“I’ve never wanted to lick those breast so much.” Minseok says in a sort of whisper as if talking to himself.

“I’m not stopping you Minnie. What’s wrong with you guys? I’m not made of glass.” you say as you push the rest of the sheet off you and sit on your knees, bare in front of them. Some turn away to look at each other or the ceiling; just anywhere but you.

“Ok what is going on?” you ask a little scared. You just heard them talk about how much they loved you and now they weren’t even looking at you.

“We uh...we can’t touch you today.” Kyungsoo said rubbing the back of his neck looking down. They can’t touch you today? Who’s stupid idea was that. You figured it had to do with their monthly checkup. You all get checked every month to make sure you’re all clean even though you’re only fucking eachother. It’s still really important and you made that a rule once this started. But that usually never stopped them, in fact it made them even more hungry for you.

“Excuse me? Did something go wrong at your checkup?” you ask almost rudely and concerned.

“No no, nothing like that. We just agreed not to touch you today. At least not until after your dinner.” Chanyeol said facing your nightstand.

“And who’s idea was this?” you ask folding your arms across your chest. You hated this.

“We all decided. It’s best we try to compose ourselves and let this day be your day. That’s why we’ve been so....needy these past couple days.” Jongdae said sitting down on the bed with his back facing you.

“You’re joking right? If it’s my day, shouldn’t I get what I want? Do you seriously think you can go a whole day without touching me? There is literally no reason for this decision except to torture yourselves. And I found it quite rude that none of you are looking at me when I’m talking.” you laugh. There was no way they could pull this off. They couldn’t even look at you without getting a boner, which all of them had.

“We have to try baby. Which means you cannot tease us. You’ll only make things harder than they need to be. And we can’t exactly look at you when your naked like that. We can see your pussy just...taunting us.” Junmyeon says as he groans the last sentence.

“Hyung you really didn’t need to say that. I’m already trying not to cum in my pants.” Sehun said in a whine.

“Absolutely fucking not. I didn’t agree to this. I’ll act as I want, I don’t care how hard you get. It’s your fault for making this dumb rule.” you snap back. You watch as all thier bodies tense and they sigh.

“Please don’t make us have to punish you tonight. We’ll be downstairs when you’re ready. You have to eat and get ready for tonight. Don’t take long.” Minseok says as they all head towards the door. Once they leave you plop down on the bed and throw a silent tantrum. They couldn’t even look at you, fuck that. You were going to tease the little shit heads until you couldn’t anymore.

You walked downstairs after getting ready for operation one. You were clad in a red see though lingerie set and nothing else. They were all sitting in the living room looking so sad, but it was their faults. Once they saw you they all sighed; they should have known you wouldn’t comply.

“Y/N why? I specifically said not to-,” Junmyeon started but you cut him off as you slowly walked to the center of the room and sat on the table.

“I don’t give a fuck about what you said Jun. This isn’t my agreement so I’ll do what I want like I said I would.” You smile at him before laying back on the table and stretching out, all eyes on you. You take the fruit bowl next to you and start eating making sure to over use your lips and tongue.

“She’s going to destroy us all.” you heard Sehun mumble while staring hard at your pussy. You laughed and sat up to see him standing infront of you.

“You can taste if you want Sehunnie. I taste better than this fruit. But you can decide for yourself.” you smirk as you pull your panties to the side fully exposing your wet cunt. He groans and kneels down infront of you almost ready to taste you. Before he can, Minseok pulls him away and glares at you.

“Y/N we’re warning you. This won’t end well for you.” he stated giving you a death stare. They were never unbearable when the punished you so you weren’t scared. You brought your hand down to your cunt and plunged two fingers in you while staring directly into his eyes. You let out a loud moan at the stretch and whined ‘Minnie’ once you started fucking yourself. They were all watching you intently as you moaned and fingered yourself looking at thier cocks twitching in their pants.

“Let’s go. Now.” Junmyeon commanded the boys as he got up and walked down the hall. They all followed except Minnie who glared at you and clenched his jaw so tight you thought he’d break it.

“We’re going to our study. Don’t come in there. Don’t call for us. Don’t bother us. Since you want to be such a fucking brat, we have to lock ourselves away from you. We’ll see you in a couple hours. Get ready for your dinner.” and with that he leaves down the hall. You fall back on to the table and let out an insanely loud groan. What the absolute fuck? You pushed them so far they are now avoiding you so they won’t fall to your temptation. What a sad “special day” this is.

𝒲𝑒𝒹𝓃𝑒𝓈𝒹𝒶𝓎 𝒩𝒾𝑔𝒽𝓉 11𝓅𝓂

Your dinner sucked so bad. You were absolutely bored and didn’t care to be there. EXO weren’t even paying you any attention and it was your night. You even had to arrive and leave separately from them. They avoided you the remainder of the day until it was time for your dinner and then ignored you during that dinner. They left before you did to go home. You were so annoyed and sad to not have them loving you. You’d grown so used to it that them giving you the cold shoulder was killing you.

You got home and everything was dark. You figured they all went to sleep which made you even more upset. You walked up to your room and stepped in not looking up. You kicked your shoes off and tore your stupid dress off like a toddler throwing a tantrum. When you finally looked up, you saw them all standing there staring at you. Then you looked at the bed and saw it filled with stuff. There were paddles, gags, butt plugs, whips, bondages, vibrators. Oh my. You swallowed thickly and stared at them. You were in for a really bad punishment.

“Come on Y/N. Don’t waste our time.” Baekhyun said deeply making you jump. You hurry over to the front of the bed and look down at your feet. You were terrified. They were never this scary with you, never this angry. Yixing came up to you and tore your panties off your body making you jump. He pushed you on to the bed where you got to really see the materials. You could feel yourself getting more and more scared, so you do what anyone would.

“Daddies I’m sorry! I’m so sorry I shouldn’t have pushed you!” you start to tear up as they all just stare at you, emotionless.

“Gag her.” is all Minseok says before Jongin gags your mouth with a fairly small gag. You could say words if you needed to but not sentences and you’d still be muffled. He then tied your hands in front of you using silk ties.

“So, a spanking first seems appropriate.” Minseok continues handing Kyungsoo a black leather paddle. You whimper against the gag in your mouth. Anytime he gave you a spanking, it was his hand and for mediocre reasons. This was another story; he looked more than angry. He yanked your body over to a chair and pulled you over his lap. Everyone else came to turn to you and watch.

“Count. If I don’t hear those numbers clearly, I’m starting over. I don’t want to hear anything else. Do not move or I will start over. Do you understand?” he said pulling your hair to make you look at him. You nod and say ‘yes daddy’ as best you can with the gag in your mouth. He pushed your head down and plucked your ass making you jump a little. Then a hard smack landed on your ass making you shudder. You took a second to make sure you didn’t scream before saying ‘one’. Another smack landed on the same cheek harder making you scream ‘two’. This went on and on for 30 smacks. Your face was full of tears. Your ass stung so bad you could have swore you were bleeding. Your abs hurt from being bent over his legs, tightening everytime he hit you.

He pulls you up by the waist and makes you kneel infront of him. Your weak body slumps forward out of being tired and not wanting him to see your face. He turns you around to face the rest of them and pulls your hair to make you look up at them. Chanyeol comes up to you and squats down and gently wipes your tears. You lean into his hand and close your eyes. He smacks your face and laughs.

“I may be your favorite, but you weren’t very nice to me earlier. Stand up.” he says as he walks away to the bed. You stand up on weak legs and slowly follow him not looking at any of the glaring men. The bed was now set up differently. There was a chain and clasp hanging from the ceiling and bondage straps on the bed. He pointed you to get on the bed and you did so. Sehun came over and put your hands above your head connecting them to the clasp then tied your kneeling legs to the straps on the bed. You looked at him with pleading eyes and he just laughed.

“Look at you. Don’t you remember toying with me?Reap what you sow slut.” he spits out pinching your nipple. You let out a whimper and he slaps your face.

“Shut it.” he says before smiling wickedly and walking away. You were crying again. They knew you were just upset with yourself. Upset for making them this angry with you. Nothing could make you more upset than making your doms angry. If you were ever uncomfortable you’d use your safe word no questions asked, so they weren’t worried.

“Do you know what these are?” Chanyeol said as he placed an array of tools on the bed.

“These are nipple clasps. The metal kind since those are the best.” he said putting them on your nipples making you back away but not moving much since you were tied up.

“These are tassel whips. You like these don’t you?” he says as he drags the whip up over your stomach and nipples. You close your eyes and try not to show how good it felt. Then a hard slap hits your pussy making you choke. You open your eyes as he pulls the whip back again and slaps your lips again harder. You let out a scream as you try to close your legs but the restraints won’t budge.

“You like playing with yourself right? You like to tease us?” he said handing the whip to Jongdae who moves to sit behind you.

“Answer me slut!” Chanyeol barks making you shake your head frantically.

“Lying to us? Even now you’re lying to us.” you hear Jongdae whisper in your ear before slapping your back and ass with the whip. You twitch and cry out making him laugh. Chanyeol picks up what looks like a vibrator and comes to move in front of you.

“This is my favorite. It’s a dildo and a vibrator so you get both the satisfaction. We just stick it in here and use these straps to keep it in place and it fucks you itself. Now for the fun part, watching you be denied the one thing you want the most.” he says as he shoves the dildo inside your wet cunt making you gasp. He gets up and presses the button turning it on and you immediately can’t take it. He has the intensity so high you could cum any minute. You squirm in your restraints and scream out as the dildo fucks you. Baekhyun places a camera right infront of your core and records you being fucked. You keep squirming and jumping making Jongdae give you another smack while whispering ‘stay fucking put slut’.

“Look at this boys. Her cunt is dripping all over the sheets. She’s about to cum, aren’t you? You’re so wet to be tied up slut.” Baekhyun says pushing the camera forward. The sound of your wetness is loud mixed with your moans. You feel it coming and can’t help but release fast panting moans. Just as your stomach tightens, it stops. You cry letting your head fall; you knew it was too good to be true. Yixing pulls your hair to make you look at him. He’s smiling exposing his dimple at your red eyes and tear stained face.

“I got you a gift.” he said as he brings a silver butt plug from behind his back. Your eyes widen and you let out a whimpering ‘please’. They all just laugh as he trails the plug down your back. He lays down to get a better angle and spreads your ass cheeks. You whimper again when you feel the cold lube slide between your cheeks. He uses his fingers to spread you out in prep for the metal object. You shiver as you feel the metal sitting at your entrance slowly being pushed in. More tears fall as it fills you to the max. Then the vibrator suddenly goes off again making you push back on Yixing’s hand forcing the plug all the way in.

“Oops. It was an accident sweetheart.” is all Jongin says as he smirks at your shaking form.

“You look pathetic crying like that’s going to stop us. You didn’t listen, you have to learn your lesson.” he adds making you cry more. You feel your orgasm coming and then going when the vibratory stops again. You let out an annoyed groan and glare at them.

“Uh oh, I think we made her mad. She’s giving us her deadly eyes.” Baekhyun says walking up to you holding your chin. Your hips involuntarily thrust up when the low vibration starts again.

“You want to cum don’t you whore?” Minseok asked with a sinful smirk. You nod and moan out when he pulls on your nipple clamps. You were shaking from the combination of the low vibration of the dildo and your sensitive nipples.

“Her nipples are so pink. Look at how red her neck and cheeks are. God, she gets so colorful like this.” Kyungsoo teases as his hands trace all over your body making you twitch. You look up at him with innocent eyes just begging him to fuck you. He bends down to kiss a tear that falls before he rubs his thumbs lightly over your sensitive nipples. You whine out and try to pull away but he hovers over you, lips next to your ear. “Imagine having to deal with a boner that feels like this everytime it rubs against something. Not being able to fuck the tight pussy of my little brat. And not being able to cum from my hand because nothing compares to fucking your pussy that’s all mine. And it was all your fault slut. Next time listen to your fucking daddies and this won’t happen.” he grits through his teeth in your ear before twisting the clamps.

You were actually so upset and sensitive that you became numb. They toyed with you denying your orgasm 5 more times by now. You closed your eyes and took a deep breath. Then the dildo started again only this time it was too much. You came in under a minute and squirted all over the bed. Your body shuddered and your eyes rolled back as the vibrator kept going. You couldn’t breath as your second orgasm crashed over you making you squirt again only much more this time. You open your eyes to look at them and beg ‘please’ over and over again. They looked at you as if they were deaf, not even blinking at your crying pleads.

You came 5 more times, squirting every single time before your body gave out. You were so overstimulated it hurt. Your cunt dripped your cum and juices as you hung drained almost lifeless. You guess the state of your body is what made them stop. You were semi unconscious when you felt strong arms hold you once your arms and legs were unbound. You were carried bridal style to a large bathroom and put in a freshly run bath with Minseok and Junmyeon. Everyone else stayed in the bathroom watching you. The hot water instantly relaxing your exhausted frame. They washed you gently and slowly. Junmyeon sat behind you and Minseok in front. Minseok massaged your legs and feet while Junmyeon your back and tired arms.

“Baby?” he whispers in your ear. You flinch once you feel his lips on your neck. You’re laying with your eyes closed, tired and drained from crying so much.

“I think we went too hard on her. She’s flinching even unconscious.” Minseok whispers.

“I hated watching that. Seeing her crying for us. God, I feel like a monster.” Chanyeol sighed. You didn’t know he felt that way given how scary he was.

“Look at our baby. She’s just lying there. Did you see the look in her eyes right before she passed out? She looked so lifeless.” Baekhyun said almost crying himself. You moved in Junmyeon’s arms putting your face in his neck letting out a small whimper as a tear slipped down your face.

“Princess it’s ok. Shh don’t cry, we’ve got you. You’re ok. It’s all over now.” he said stroking your cheek softly. You turned more and curled up into his arms as more tears fell.

“I’m sorry daddy. I’m so sorry I made you hate me.” you whisper into his chest. You were in shock and saying things you knew weren’t true, but in your state you felt it. You felt like you messed up teasing them like that. You disobeyed them with the one thing they asked you not to do. You were a brat who didn’t get her way and acted out. So your little state made you think they hated you, that they didn’t want a disobedient brat. He quickly shushed you before holding you tight.

“God princess we could never hate you. I’m sorry we were so hard on you. We just had to punish you for being bad. We love you so much. Relax sweetheart, we’ve got you.” he said hushing you. You heard everyone let out repetitive ‘no’s’ and sighs.

“She thinks we hate her. How are we going to fix this? I can’t think straight knowing we broke her or made her uncomfortable.” Sehun said panicked.

“Sehun calm down. We’ll figure that out later. Right now we have to take care of her.” Minseok reassured.

You don’t remember much after that since you fell asleep in his arms as he rocked you while playing in your hair. You do remember feeling the lips of all of them kiss your eyes, nose, and lips. You also remember hearing them all confess ‘I love you’ a million times before falling asleep.

(This was an experimental part to say the least! I wasn’t to sure how I felt about this one but it’s a development part. Sorry again for it being so long. I really got into it and didn’t want to take out any details. Would love feedback on how you guys felt about this chapter. Thank you as always!

SO ABOUT BRUCE’S LOVE-INTERESTS

First of all I think we need to address why he has so many compared to other DC characters. Well, my good people, this is very simple: his writers are bad. A lot of his love-interests simply existed for the sake of a story and most of the time the reason they don’t work out is because, and I’m not bullshitting here, it’s part of Batman’s nature to be so obssessed with solving crime that he can’t maintain a serious relationship with women. And Bruce Wayne’s relationships fail because of his constant absences and secrets.

That being said, sometimes his relationships fail for other reasons. So let’s get this started shall we?

Category One: His Major Relationships

These are his relationships that have consistently shown up in many continuities and were, in fact, attempts on giving him some kind of serious girlfriend, regardless of how the writers failed.

1: Julie Madison. Julie’s character has changed a lot in the different continuities but originally she was an actress who broke up with Bruce because he refused to stop his “playboy ways” even when she confronted him about them. In one version she goes on to marry a man in Europe. In New Earth her hair was changed from black to auburn and, instead of being an actress, she was the daughter of an entrepeneur. 

She broke up with Bruce when she learned he was Batman and that her father had been killed as a result of Batman’s action. She moved to Africa and became a missionary. In current continuity, Julie is an artist and her father is an arms dealer who sold the gun that was used to kill Bruce’s parents. They first dated as teens but met again when Bruce lost his memories (amnesia stories yaaay). Bruce was so passionately in love with her, that he was even ready to settle down and marry her. Unfortunately, in his absence, Gotham’s crime had skyrocketed and Alfred and Julie had to, regretfully, give him his memories back so he could be Batman once more. This also erased his memory of being with Julie.

In The New Batman Adventures comics, Bruce and Julie dated right up until Bruce found out she was only after his fortune. That’s just how it be in comics sometimes. She also appeared in the Batman And Robin movie but her character added little to the plot and most of her scenes ended up being edited out in the final cut.

2: Victoria/Vicki Vale. Vicki Vale was created to be Bruce’s version of Lois Lane (yeah it’s no wonder this never worked). They got involved because she made it her life’s mission to expose Batman’s identity and ended up dating Bruce in the process (it’s also worth noting she was already suspicious of him being Batman). Her character hasn’t had a lot of changed over the years and, surprisingly, has managed to keep most of her original characterization. 

She disappeared from the comics when Julius Schwartz took over the editorial office in 1964. She was re-introduced in the early 1980′s by Gerry Conway but idea was ill-advised as her character had very little development and was instead the same old concept of someone finding out Bruce’s identity. Doug Moench was mainly responsible for slowly removing her as Bruce’s love-interest, though she has since returned to that role. In Batman: The Road Home, Vicki finally got proof that Bruce was Batman but decided to keep it to herself and instead became a confidante and ally of the batfamily, rather then Bruce’s girlfriend.

She appeared in Tim Burton’s Batman as well, but was a damsel in distress throughout the film and only learned his identity through happenstance rather then because she was seeking it out.

In various other continuities, she’s been shown as an occasional date for Bruce Wayne.

3: Selina Kyle needs to introduction but her influence in his life is so long and extensive she’d need a post of her own to cover it all. You’ll be pleased to know that there have been quite a few stories where they’ve managed to sustain a relationship and be happy together.

4: Talia Al Ghul. Obviously we all know her for being Damian’s mother, whoever Ra’s himself has encouraged her relationship with Bruce, because he wants to try and recruit Batman into the League of Assassin’s.

Originally, Talia was very devoted to Bruce and loved him as much as she loved her own father, even saving his life on multiple occasion’s, though she always returned to her father’s side afterwards. They had a sexual encounter that lead to the birth of Damian, as we all know, but over time Talia became more antagonistic towards Bruce, seeking to fulfill her father’s goals and rule with Batman by her side instead. However, he rejected her proposal and she declared war on him (yikes.)

In Batman: The Animated Series, her character was practically the same as her comic iteration. She returned in Batman Beyond where Bruce was horrified to learn that she’d given up her body for her father (yeah. That’s a thing).

In Batman: Arkham City, Talia and Bruce had a romantic background and cared very deeply for eachother, even willing to risk their lived to save the other’s.

On Earth-16, Bruce broke all ties with Talia due to her conflicting morals; her love for Bruce vs her loyalty to Ra’s. 

In the Dark Knight Rises film, Talia is an executive member of Wayne Enterprises who becomes romantically involved with Bruce. She eventually takes over the company and tries to destroy Gotham per her father’s mad design.

Category Two: Minor Relationships

These are his love-interests who have only appeared sporadically as options for him over the years, rather then being a consistent thing.

1: Amina Franklin. Originally someone who worked as a nurse at Leslie Thompkins’ clinic, Amina met Bruce at a party and they started dating shortly after. Her brother, Wayne Franklin (I know), was the villain called Grotesk (original name there buddy) and Amina was killed during a confrontation between him and Bruce.

2: April Clarkson (Midnight). If the name Midnight strikes any familiarity to you, then you’ll know who April is. She was a GCPD officer who briefly dated Bruce and helped Batman track down the gruesome murderer Midnight (yeah his track record is great isn’t it? In her defense April only killed the corrupt dudes but like. Still). Bruce was pretty torn up when he learned this because he had very strong feelings for her! Alas what can ya do, right?

3: Bekka. Bekka saved Batman’s life from Darkseid’s forces on the planet Tartarus and the two shared a mutual attraction (Bekka is also Orion’s wife. Yikes.) She was later murdered (in my mother’s own words “another one bites the dust”).

4: Black Canary. Yes seriously. Despite her long-standing romance with Green Arrow, Dinah has shown attraction to Bruce on numerous occasion’s and the two have even shared kisses before (Batman: Brave and Bold #166 and Birds of Prey #90). On Earth’s 31 and 37 this attraction is way stronger.

5: Charlotte Rivers. A news reporter in Gotham, Charlotte wanted to leave the city which put a rift between her and Bruce. After her twin sister, Jill, made an attempt on her life, Charlotte dumped Bruce and took a job offer in Paris. Ouch.

6: Dawn Golden. Dawn was the daughter of cult leader Aleister Golden, who practiced Dark Magic. Dawn was a childhood friend of Bruce’s who dated him in college and apparently broke his heart (lmao). She became a socialite and then her dad murdered her as part of a dark ritual to give himself eternal life. Yeah.

7: Harley Quinn. YEP HERE’S ANOTHER ONE. Harley has had occasional romantic encounters with Batman over the years, specifically in the Animated Series when she kissed him in the episode Harley’s Holiday. In recent N52 canon, there’s been a couple of stories where Harley has ended up infatuated with Batman or Bruce Wayne. They’re all one-sided feelings as far as we know, however.

8: Jaina Hudson (White Rabbit). Another name that might be familiar to those who know Bruce’s villains. Jaina was a socialite of Indian descent who met Bruce at a charity fundraiser. Later Bruce found out she could duplicate herself into two beings: herself and the scantily clad (its comics what do we expect?) criminal White Rabbit, who had, more than once, lured him to other villains like Joker and Bane.

9: Jezebel Jet. A wealthy woman of African descent, Jezebel was a model who owned an African province and secretly worked for Black Glove. She gained Bruce’s love as a ploy to destroy him during Batman R.I.P and was later killed on Talia’s orders. 

10: Jillian Maxwell. Jillian met Bruce at a costume party in Batman: Legends of The Dark Knight Halloween Special #1 (wow thats long). It turned out, however, that she was actually a woman who used many different personas to seduce wealthy men before orchestrating events that led to their deaths so she could take their wealth. Wild. When Alfred told him this, Bruce was heartbroken. Jillian used the name Aubrey Marguerite in Brazil and Bruce, as Batman, tracked her down and left a note ordering her to confess her sins. 

11: Julia Pennyworth. Daughter of Alfred and French Resistance fighter Mademoiselle Marie, Julia was introduced to the comics in by Doug Moench in the early 1980′s. Efforts to make her a romantic partner for Bruce proved difficult with the presence of Noctura and Vicki Vale (guess why he writ her out of comics lol).

12: Kathy Kane (Batwoman). Strap in lads this one gets Weird. Kathy was made in the Silver Age to be Batman’s female counterpart and romantic partner. Many stories showing the two getting married were published though in the main canon at the time her feelings for him were one-sided. On Earth-Two, Kathy resigned herself to live without his love and on Earth One she was murdered by the League of Assassins. Grant Morrison wrote stories featuring her in New Earth canon bc he liked using Silver Age comics for inspiration. She was eventually replaced by Katherine “Kate” Kane, a lesbian who got discharged from the military for homosexual conduct (in New Earth as well). In Prime Earth canon, Kate Kane is Bruce’s cousin. So yeah. There’s that.

13: Linda Page. Adapted from Batman serial (1943), Linda came into the comics during the Golden Age and was a former socialite who worked as a nurse for the elderly, disproving the idea that rich women were lazy and spoiled. She dated Bruce for a few issues but fell through the cracks and disappeared.

14: Lorna Shore. Lorna is a Museum Curator from the Lovers and Madmen story in Batman Confidential. Her relationship with Bruce was love at first sight and he was able to find peace with her for the first time since his parents’ murder (look. I know). However, after his first encounter with Joker, Bruce broke off their relationship to keep her safe and Lorna left Gotham soon after feeling that the city was no longer safe bc of Batman and Joker.

15: Mallory Moxon. Daughter of mob boss Lew Moxon, Mallory was a childhood friend of Bruce’s who dated him for a short time when they were kids (I know) before they drifted apart. They dated again as adults even while Bruce suspected her of continuing her father’s criminal operation. He never found conclusive proof.

16: Natalia Knight (Noctura). Another character created by Doug Moench in the early 1980′s, Natalia was the most remarkable of Batman’s love-interest’s at the time. A jewel thief who briefly adopted Jason Todd and knew Bruce’s identity, Natalia had a rare light sensitivity disease that bleached her skin white. She used a special narcotic perfume that caused men to fall in love with her and Bruce was no exception (yeah...). They started dating because they were both “equally fascinated” by eachother (Y E A H). Bruce realized his love for her was because of the perfume and struggled to stop thinking about her. Nocturna was stabbed by her brother during Crisis on Infinte Earths and floated into the sky on her balloon, presumed to be dead. Other versions of her character have appeared since but none of them are the same as the original pre-Crisis version. 

17: Natalya Trusevich. A Ukranian pianist, Natalya grew frustrated with Bruce’s closed-off demeanour until Alfred had him reveal his secret to her. Abducted by Mad Hatter soon after, Natalya was tortured in an attempt to get her to spill Batman’s identity. When she refused, Mad Hatter threw her off the helicopter to her death.

18: Pamela Isley (Poison Ivy). Here we go again lads. Ivy, as we all know, uses seduction and pheromones to get men to fall for her and obey her commands. This is no different with Batman, who initially confused the lust caused by her methods for love. Ivy has a love/hate relationship with him: sometimes she claims to love him and desires his affection and other times she has no problem wanting him dead. They had a brief but genuine relationship when Bruce cured her condition but this ended when Pamela seemingly died trying to turn herself back into Poison Ivy. Yikes. 

19: Rachel Caspian. In Batman: Year Two, Bruce fell in love with Rachel. Unfortunately her dad moonlighted as a murderous vigilante who committed suicide. Bruce was prepared to end his crime-fighting career to marry her but Rachel broke off their engagement and enrolled into a nunnery to pay her father’s penance after learning of his evil deeds.

20: Sasha Bordeaux. Assigned as his bodyguard, Sasha deduced Bruce’s identity as Batman and briefly fought at his side. Framed for the murder of Bruce’s girlfriend, Vesper Fairchild, Sasha later joined Maxwell Lord’s Checkmate Organization. She was turned into a Cyborg during The OMAC Project but this was resolved later. Though she did kiss Bruce near the end of OMAC Project their relationship passed on.

21: Silver St. Cloud. Appearing in the late 1970′s in the story Strange Apparitions, Silver was a socialite who, despite deducing Bruce was Batman, couldn’t handle dating someone with such a dangerous life-style (fair enough actually). She left Gotham but returned years later in Batman: Dark Detective where she and Bruce tried to make a serious romance work. This fell apart after she was kidnapped by Joker and later on Silver was murdered by the criminal Onomatopeia.

22: Shondra Kinsolving. A psychic and half-sister of Benedict Asp, Shondra had a brief romance with Bruce when she helped heal him after Bane broke his back. Before they could fully commit to eachother, Benedict kidnapped her and turned her abilities to evil use. Batman defeated him but the damage to Shondra’s mind was too great and, after healing Bruce’s injuries, her psyche regressed back to childhood. Bruce paid for her to have the best intensive care for the rest of her life in a psychiatric institution.

23: Vesper Fairchild. A popular radio host in Gotham, Doug Moench (jeez dude chill) established her romance with Bruce during his second run of Batman in the 1990′s. During the No Man’s Land Crisis, Vesper left Gotham and was killed by David Cain on Lex’s orders. This started the Bruce Wayne: Fugitive storyline.

24: Diana Prince (Wonder Woman). Briefly dating in the comics, nothing actually came of their romance and they both decided to simply stay good friends. They did, however, still care deeply for one another and it was this love that allowed Diana to become a Star Sapphire during the Blackest Night storyline. They were also paired together in Justice League Animated. 

25: Zatanna Zatara. Bet you weren’t expecting this one huh? The first time they had romantic interest was in Batman: The Animated Series where they met in their youth. Bruce gave priority to pursuing his training to becoming Batman and they met again as adults but nothing came of their interest. This was later introduced in the comics. They had a major falling out when Bruce discovered Zatanna had windwiped him after he’d caught her mindwiping Doctor Light at the JL’s instruction. Bruce made it clear he didn’t trust her anymore but they later resolved the issue and became close friends again.

Category Three: Other Media

These are still minor relationships but as a whole they didn’t really happen during main continuities. Basically these are romances specifically from films, crossovers and the DCAU.

1: Andrea Beaumont. In Batman: Mask of The Phantasm, Andrea was engaged to Bruce before he became Batman but she broke off said engagement when she fled the country with her father to escape the mob. She then became the title villain of the film.

2: Barbara Gordon (Batgirl). Probably the most infamous for making everyone go “wtf”, Barbara had a heavily implied past relationship with Bruce in Batman Beyond and had sex with Bruce on a rooftop in the animated Killing Joke adaptation.

3: Lois Lane. In a crossover between The New Batman Adventures and Superman: The Animated Series, Bruce and Lois dated eachother to Superman’s annoyance but Lois broke up with him after learning his identity as Batman. During a 3-4 issue long amnesia storyline in the Batman/Superman teamup comic, they also shared romantic feelings for eachother and kissed right before Bruce restored his own memories (dont. Ask).

4: Rachel Dawes. She was his childhood friend and love-interest in the Dark Knight Trilogy. Like. That’s it. 

And there you have it! All of Bruce’s gf’s aired out for everyone to screw their noses over! This wasn’t worth any of my attention but fuck it! It’s done!

[ivory-haired-queens-blog]

I just played ep 3 and you wanna know what things fucking ripped my heart out and fucking stomped on it and tried to shove it back in with scotch tape and glitter glue? SPOILERS, DUH.

*Also this might be the most in-depth and analytical thing I've done so... it's long.

A) When Louis picks up Minnie's crossbow and fucking accidentally shoots that woman and he's like "i..I didn't mean...fuck" or something like that. That fucking voice acting shredded me and I will never be over that. Louis, Louis of all people, the lighthearted jokester that just wants everyone to be happy was forced to shoot a woman in the skull! In one of the most grisly deaths in the season at that! Skybound can throw hands with me for that one. Also when Clem goes to get Aj Louis, even as broken and torn as he is at this point, he still tries to come with her. The best boy honestly.

B) Look, I know Lilly is the villian of this season. I'm fully aware of this. But she obviously still kinda cares about Clementine, as in ep 2 she said, and I quote "this SHOULD be easy." But it's not. It's not easy to shoot clem. But then she just fucking takes Aj? And then tries to strangle Clem on the side of the boat? And then when I mercied her and tried to let her live, she just???fucking kills James??? Like, I already didn't like James (I'm sorry James stans) but he didn't deserve that. And then the bomb goes off and we don't even get to Aj in time??? Like, 👊👊👊 throw hands.

C) When Aj talks about Clem getting bit and how he'd want her to bite him. Like, fucking James just had to say something. This boy is 6, maybe 7 at the absolute latest. He's impressionable, he learns from what he hears. You can't just tell him that walkers are still kinda human. If they had any shred of humanity left, they would not kill people. Especially those close to them, like Lee's brother tried to kill Lee when he was under that lamppost. Just fucking stop I'm crying.

D) LOUIS' STORY. If you did the Violet path and didn't hear Louis', basically he was rich. Like, filthy rich. But the only thing his dad wouldn't buy him was singing lessons. Louis got so mad at what his dad said to him, "You can either be happy or you can be rich," that he wanted to teach his dad a lesson. He started buying things on his dad's credit card that eluded to his dad having an affair (jewelry, hotel rooms, etc.) And when this worked, his parents got the divorce, he came clean. He told his dad "You can either be rich or you can be happy." A week later he was at the school. And just fucking??? How much his character has grown in the 8-9 apocalypse years??I'm so proud of him. Sure, younger Louis was a little shit, but he knows how fucked up what he did was. If you watch the scene, it's so....heartbreaking. like it's his biggest regret, even with all the Marlon shit thrown in. I love Violet with my whole heart, but I fucking love Louis' storyline.

E) VIOLET WHAT THE FUCK??? As I stated before, I love Violet. She's my favorite gay/gal in the whole apocalypse. But what the fuck? Like, you...I get it. I saved Louis instead of you, but wait a fucking minute I made it blatantly obvious that I love Louis (my son) and when you see me in the prison cell you're like "fuck you I'm staying here with my psychotic gf." Like??? I think the writers made a huge character mistake with that because there's no way Violet would have actually done that to me. Also especially after Minnie admits to killing Sophie, which I'll touch on later. Like, her character would NOT do that. Idgaf if she still loved Minnie or not, she'd be fucking pissed.

F) We have to talk about Minnie. Just....ugh. Props to telltale/skybound because holy fuck. That got me. That got me good. She just??? Is completely brainwashed by the delta and lilly? She killed her own sister, and despite me telling her what Tenn told me to she still locked me in the cell? Also she doesn't say one loving thing to Violet, who literally is willing to get herself blown up just to be with her. And when that woman tells her her family is the delta and to forget about Tenn she just fucking accepts it? Like??? Fuck off bitch?

G) Louis' date was the cutest shit

H) I'm sorry but at the party that first bio sounded a fuck ton like Marlon and Idc what anyone else says you cannot convince me that my love Ruby ever did such things.

I) I hate that the story is so compelling that, even after all she's fucking done, I still care about Lilly. I call this "the Kenny effect." We have history, and that matters a lot to me. Even if I don't agree with her ever, I still don't want her to die. (Like with the Kenny/Arvo thing) I see her as family, which is why in s1 I let her stay after she shot carley and in ep 2 of this season I told her we were family. I do care about Lilly, and then she just kills James??? Like, ugh. I wish she would just fucking stop and I could hug her and everything would be fine and Lee isn't actually dead and Christa and Molly and Kenny and everyone's alive and AAHHHHH.

J) The scene where Minnie has clem's knife against clem's chest and is pushing down is so fucking similar to the Kenny/Jane situation is s2. Minnie is Jane and Clem is Kenny, this time all of the kids from the school is clem. Both Minnie and Clem want them to be safe, but they have very different ideas on how they'll be safe. Clem wants to protect them at all costs, and Minnie wants to protect them by getting rid of clem. (Like how Jane wanted to get rid of kenny) I'm crying in the club.

K) James fucking making me walk in the barn full of walkers to touch the wind chime. I was literally so anxious during this and I knew that it's a game but just??? That would have been a pointless death.

L) ABEL. NO! Look I don't like this guy as much as the rest of ya'll, but they way he just breaks down??? I refused to torture him, and I put out his cigarette. He begs to be killed because he doesn't want to turn. This is so visceral and raw that I almost cried when my knife went through his head. Then the screen thing told me I tortured him in front of Aj?? Hello? When did I do that??? I gave him mercy, I gave him peace.

M) Louis toasting to the fact that he thinks he's gonna die at the boat just fucking destroys me.

N) Rosie is the goodest girl and didn't get enough screen time.

O) Louis helping clem up when she gets pulled under water by a walker is cleansing for my soul

P) Omar and Aasim got like 4 lines between them and that's fucking breaking the law

Q) I literally only found 1 collectible where the fuck where they all???

R) I was legitimately going to not kill any of the walkers when James was getting his mask, but I honest to God kept dying over and over so I literally had to kill one of them.

S) the fact that James kept bringing up how much of a heartless bitch I am for not caring about dead people that are walking and killing the living and everyone I've ever cared about.

T) The sheer genuis of the dialogue option that asks James if he knows the names of the walkers and he's confused and clem is just like "Omar, Aasim...Violet." like, he doesn't know the walkers. They're killing machines that he has no attachment to. Clem's friends are alive, and she cares about them deeply. Like fuck off m8.

U) Aj is so broken and confused and scared I don't know how to fix him he's a murderer but he's trying to atone and I just hope to God Lee would actually be proud of Clem and I just wish he was alive and Clem and Aj and him were a family and he could meet the boarding school kids at then Louis would learn about history, something I hc him as never being good at in school, and Louis teaches him how to play the piano and he teaches Violet how to actually map the stars and she teaches him all the fighting skills she's learned and Lee takes a liking to Tenn and makes sure to thank Omar for cooking and appreciates willy and mitch and what they do and supports and learns medicine from ruby and stops Aj from killing Marlon and talks him through the bad shit and helps him atone for his sins and then he meets Rosie and when he sees Lilly again she stops being a hateful cunt and we kill all the delta people and go back to the school and everyone, including mitch and James and Minerva and Sophie is alive and this is getting way to long aahhhh.

V) When Louis is freaking out about the responsibility of planting the bomb, and it gives you to either slap him or kiss him and that's the fucking cutest shit

W) the fact that it never let's me hug Tenn or Willy, nor have a funeral for Mitch. Like I know we were crunched for time, but it would've taken 10 minutes tops.

X) to my knowledge, Tenn and Menerva never see eachother. Maybe she would have changed if she saw him? I don't know...

Y) I don't have the option to cuddle with Rosie and that's an actual crime.

Z) When the kids are talking about all the people they've lost. 34 people. 34. We've lost a lot, don't get me wrong, but I don't think it's 34. It might be close, but some of those people we weren't close to nor knew for very long. Also the fact that they've lost 34 but only have like 5 graves. Wtf?

*) AND THE BIGGEST THING THAT TORE MY HEART INTO PRICES WAS THE LEE SCENE, AND THE DIALOGUE OPTION OF TELLING LEE HE'S NOT REAL AND HE TELLS CLEM THAT IT'S OKAY TO BE A LITTLE NUTS AND THEN THE HUG AND THE "LOOK AT YOU..." FROM LEE AND AAAHHHH I MISS HIM SO FUCKING MUCH.

*Edit: I'm not saying I love Lilly as much as I do Kenny, I could never like her that much, even if she had a change of heart and died protecting clem or Aj. I'm saying "the Kenny effect" because he was being an asshole, however you try to defend him. He wasn't in the right, and harmed an innocent kid (Arvo) just like Lilly does. Cool? Cool.
