You thought the longer you looked at it, maybe you’d suddenly develop some sort of telekinetic powers to drag it back toward you — but alas, you are not eleven nor are you Moana to be controlling the water. It was cheap, you knew that, and you could never resist a good sale. But you may have slightly overestimated the strength of the flimsy strings of your bra, greatly, actually. Before you could dwell on the unfortunate demise of your bikini top, the firm tug on your exposed nipple snapped your head back round, a dripping hand clamping down on the rough one beneath it.

 “M-Miguel! Don’t— um, don’t look!” The man in question had a good look, a good few looks already at your pretty little tits — the perfect size for him to cup in his hands, imagining his burly fingers dancing along the damp underside of your skin. “Yeah…it’s a bit too late for that, cariño. You know you’re lucky we’re in the water right now, or else you would’ve flashed the whole beach.” 

With how hot your face felt at that moment, you swore you could see the water evaporating around you. Miguel’s smile was nothing short of predatory, those sharp, slightly crooked, fangs poking out of the wetted slit of his lip. “It’s almost like you wanted that to happen. You didn’t think I’d notice you loosening the strings earlier?” Well, you did loosen the strings, yes. But only because they were too tight! And you might’ve, allegedly, planned that little stunt in the water when the waves were looking a little too rough — rough enough to mess with your skimpy little bra. Chica sucia.

The waves had calmed, lapping against the skin of your legs as the sun shone down on you both — peeking past Miguel’s absurdly wide shoulders to catch a glance of the beach. “Empty.” Aside from the few strays packing away the last of their belongings, even your little group had gone home, not like you had planned this from the start. Pshh! That’d be crazy. His head tilts in the direction of your eye line, a wry smile creeping its way up onto his lips. “Hm? You planning on doing something with that observation, barbie?” 

On a normal day, you’d probably be disgusted at the thought of floating in the middle of the ocean with your tits out on display in front of a man — but this was not a normal day. And he isn’t any man, he’s your boss. You’re stupidly sexy, brooding, hulking, hunk of a boss. Things between the two of you hadn’t been the same since that little encounter before, and you’d be lying if you said you wished things went back to how it was. Oh, how you longed for a moment like that again — and oh, how many bottles of lube are stacked up inside the bin in Miguel’s office because he couldn’t get you out of his head since that fateful day. 

“N-no! Of course not,” you weren’t a very convincing liar, Miguel already knew that. But it doesn’t hurt to tease you a little bit. “I just don’t want, like, some family to see tits or something. I don’t wanna traumatise someone’s kids!” Well, if someone’s not complaining it’s definitely him. Though your hands were doing a piss poor job at covering them, the pebbles of your nipples peeking out from the slits of your shivering fingers.

The ripples of the water caused your head to snap back to the man in front of you as he slowly waded his way toward you — naturally, you would probably feel inclined to swim backwards but something was anchoring your body still. Circling around you, his wet chest stuck to your back. A sudden weight was lifted from your chest, literally, as he cupped your tits in his hand like a makeshift bra. 

“Problem solved, princess.” Miguel’s voice came in a low, amused grumble in your ear — deft fingers tweaking at your pebbled nipples with the hunger of a man possessed, wet strands of his hair tickling the sensitive skin of your neck. The faint lapping of waves against your heated body, soft howling of the wind, was partly broken by the breathy whimpers that were being forced out your mouth in time with the more feral grunting from the man behind you.

“Miguel,” the name of such a confident and powerful man suddenly sounded meek and pathetic coming from your lips, it was an extraordinary feat to keep your body from losing complete composure when the delicate throbbing of his cock brushed against your back. “Please — fuck, I…I need you, more!” as much as it was a deeply harboured fantasy of yours to see your stoic boss as whiny and submissive as you were being — all ounces of shame exploded as supernovas danced behind your eyes with the brush of the tip of his fingers against the damp fabric of your panties.

“Use your words, pretty. I’m already so close to your cute little cunt, you just need to tell me what you want and I’ll give it to you.” The engorged pulsing of your clit was erratic against his wandering hands, deft fingers rubbing harsh circles against the swollen flesh. His lips trailed behind your ear, not before leaving a harsh bite to the salty skin — fangs(?) imprinting a deep set of fresh marks onto your neck. Nevertheless, as you watched your bra float further and further away from you, whatever was left of your mushy brain seemed to fizzle out before you were left a pathetic panting mess — only pausing to swallow the bucketloads of sea water and saliva that built in your gaping mouth.

“Fuck me, Miguel — just, shit…do something, you asshole.” Logically, insulting the man who had his cock and fingers so dangerously close to your leaking hole wasn’t the smartest idea — and at this point, drowning seemed like a better option than being denied an orgasm you’d been waiting 15 agonising minutes for. But Miguel wasn’t that cruel of a man, not to his precious doll at least. “There’s my girl.” A large hand swiped between your folds, a sticky sweet string of cum snapping in the water as he plunged his fingers inside — massaging the spongy walls with practiced ease.

With his free hand still cupping the weight of your chest, giving a cheeky squeeze here and there, his sharp teeth pinched the sensitive skin down the slope of your shoulder — tongue darting out to lick and suck purple blemishes onto his new favourite canvas. “So fucking desperate for me that you’re letting me finger fuck you in the middle of the ocean? If I’d known you wanted me so bad, I’d have had you taking this cock months ago.” Despite the shame bubbling in your stomach, you couldn’t mistake the impeding heat there too — luckily no one but the rising moon would see how much of a slut you were being right now.

“Y-You’re one to talk— those shorts look a little tight on you, boss.” Fuck, he loved your mouth. Even if it wasn’t choking on his cock, but rather making fun of it — he loved it nonetheless. Normally he would’ve been out of the flimsy material by now, shoved himself inside, and made a mess inside whatever hole he was fucking. But today? Today he was fucking you — and you aren’t just any hole. And you, being the absolute sweetheart you are, couldn’t bear to leave your boss blue balled whilst you came your brains out.

With a quick manoeuvre, and practiced flexibility that Miguel will definitely keep in mind for later, you hooked your feet behind his knees to press your ass up against him to rub against his achy shaft to provide him some semblance of relief. And oh the relief it was, finally seeing the crack in that well polished demeanour he always presented. “F-Fu…fuck— cariño, that ass of yours is sin.” The whimpery tone of his voice was unbecoming of a man of his stature, but you were gonna make sure you pulled more out of that sexy man before the night was through.

The fingers buried knuckles deep in your glazed walls stuttered momentarily, pushing into you so hard you’d swear he was fucking them into your womb like he was trying to get you pregnant with them. “Does it feel good, boss?” And you had the nerve to be all giggly when he’s trying to keep himself from contaminating the water with his cum, his body tensing as the thickness of his bulge grinds between the plump globes. Of course it felt fucking good, it was the best fucking thing he’s ever felt aside from the tits still in his hand right now. 

Crazy how a little bit of ass can reduce your boss to a growling, panting mess — pressing you flush against him to rub the tip of his clothed cock against his own fingers as he matched his grinding to his fervent fucking, “Ha…if you’re this desperate with just your fingers than how are you gonna be when I finally let you fuck me?” Turning the tables on him was so tiring when your cunt’s still getting pounded two ways till Tuesday with your clit throbbing so hard it’s giving you a headache — but the continuous faltering in his movements told you he wasn’t too far himself.

“Shut the f-fuck up, I..shit—  acting so high and mighty while your greedy hole is swallowing up my fucking fingers, hm?” Did his voice get even deeper? Cause Jesus fuck did it make you even wetter, you couldn’t distinguish it from the sea if you tried. A harsh, prolonged prod at your womb froze up your warm body — another thick finger finally finding your enlarged clit as the spasming around his fingers intensified and breathy notes caressed his sensitive ears.

Silky strings of cum floated around you, momentary disgust flooding straight out of your system as you turned to look at your now red faced boss — who was struggling to hold back another hard on from staring at the slicked skin of your chest. “You really just came from a little bumping and grinding, boss? No wonder you’re always so tense— you’re pent up.” 

Now sporting a grumpy from, a large hand turned your face away from his — the other reaching down to not-so-subtly adjust his temperamental cock. Bad boy. “Be quiet, you little exhibitionist. Get a better bikini next time, yeah?”

“Only if you’re paying for it, boss.”

[belle--ofthebrawl]

Well, it's out of my system and out in the world. I don't want to look at it any more. I don't think anyone should. Consider this my Pandora's box, with hope being something that makes it all worse.

Hurt with no comfort. Both physical and emotional pain. Good luck in there.

It happened so swiftly they all thought it was a joke.

One minute they were walking in straggled groups to the hotel; Tempest had outdrank Mountain and the big guy was keeping her tethered so she didn't float off and alert the humans something unnatural was lurking. Cirrus and Aurora were with Rain a little ways behind discussing the pros and cons of various skincare items and routines. and Dew was limping along on his crutches like a good sport half-listening to Aeon tell Swiss something stupid. Good stupid. The kind of stupid that was funny in a drunken haze and would no doubt become another one of the many private jokes they had with each other. Hearing Swiss laugh, Dew smiles faintly. Things were different with Lus and Aether gone and a new Papa and ghoulette to work around and into their group. But good different. He could handle the tour if it kept going like this. Even with a broken foot, it wouldn't be as hard on him as last time and Cirrus had his strength to draw on.

They come to the end of the avenue. Mountain looks both ways before he starts to cross the street, giggly Tempest in tow. Dew shifts on his crutches, wishing he could light up and walk at the same time. He'd given anything for a human dose of nicotine right now.

He's about to call Swiss' name to pester him for a smoke when it happens. Swiss is replying between laughter, clapping a hand on Aeon's shoulder and saying something like “That's nothing, this one time I saw-”

Aeon never hears what Swiss saw. He's gone in the blink of an eye, in the space between breathing. There's nothing to mark his disappearance; no gust of wind or flash of light.

He's just.

Gone.

“Woah…” Aeon slurs, turning around to squint at Dew with his mismatched eyes, his scar puckering as he frowns. “Where'd he go?”

“Around.” Dew says nonchalantly, balancing on his good foot to use a crutch to gesture idly at their surroundings. “Been a while since he did his shadow shtick. Surprised he's risking it here.”

But that was always Swiss, wasn't it? Pushing the limits, testing his luck.

“Oooh…” Aeon says with a toothy grin. “Right. Shhhadow shhhtick.” He looks around with exaggerated movements, high and low. “Swiss? Where did you goooo? That's soooo crazy, he was right here!”

Dew rolls his eyes and takes Swiss' spot next to Aeon, resting his head on the kid’s shoulder for a moment. Debates asking for a bit of quintessence but decides against it. Maybe at the hotel.

“I got your man.” Dew announces to a particularly suspicious looking shadow. “He's mine tonight if you don't re-claim him.”

Swiss doesn't reappear.

“Jackass.” Dew mutters, but fondly. Things had been so tense lately with the transition, he's a little bit glad Swiss is pulling his usual tricks. Not like Dew will ever tell him though. Alright, maybe he will. When this cycle is wrapped up and they have their last night out before heading home. Maybe. Maybe Dew will tell him.

They keep up the game as they walk to the hotel, talking like Swiss isn't hovering in the shadows five feet behind them. Swiss, can I use your cologne tomorrow night? Oh, did you see that? I think that was a yes. Swiss, can we trade bunks? I don't think it's fair you got to pick first. Did you hear the wind? He's being so generous tonight!

Each time they expect him to pop back up, take Aeon's elbow and berate them in his usual manner for stealing all his stuff. Each time he doesn't and while Aeon is drunk enough to think he's dragging it out, Dew feels the faintest tinge of unease in his gut.

Something isn't right.

“Swiss.” He says before they head into the hotel. “It's old, bud. Come on, let's put this brat to bed.”

Aeon protests at being called a brat, at the implication he needs a bedtime but Dew doesn't hear him. He's got his eye on a liquidy shadow in the dim alleyway. Strange animalic eyes reflect luminously at him and for a moment, Dew’s shoulders drop. There he is, the bastard.

“Swiss-” he calls, only to startle, genuinely startle as the black cat leaps from the top of the trash can and into the light, hissing as it goes between his boot and his crutch. Aeon’s snickering but as Dew turns to watch it flee, all he feels is dread.

“C’mon man.” Aeon says, smacking his back. “He's up in the room waiting for us, I bet. What a jerk.”

“Yeah.” Dew says as Rain and the girls shoulder past them, still talking. Unaware of the shift that has subtly taken place. “Yeah.”

Saying anything else doesn't feel right because he already knows. He already knows as soon as Aeon slides his key card in and throws open the door, asking Swiss to come out with a laugh and is greeted with silence. He's not there. His stuff is, his duffle and a half-finished bottle of water with black lipstick drying on the rim.

But no Swiss.

“Go to bed, kid.” Dew says quietly, shifting his weight to take the pressure off his armpits. Fucking crutches. “I'll track him down.”

Aeon goes down like a puppy, tail wagging and big eyes closing innocently. He trusts Dew, which makes the lie hurt even more.

“Tell’im he's a jerk.” Aeon says into his pillow. “I wanted snuggles.” Then, as if to clarify, “Swiss snuggles. Swuggles.”

He's still giggling over it when Dew closes the door, leaning against it so he can pull out his phone to check their room assignments. Heads to his own first, just to make sure they didn't guess wrong, cussing under his breath the whole time at Swiss for making his handicapped ass hobble around like this. The anger feels good. A distraction from the nugget of fear.

But it only grows bigger, a deep pit opening in his stomach when his own is empty. Mountain's in the shower and it sounds like he's alone. Dew leaves without tipping him off and heads to Aurora and Rain next. They both confirm they haven't seen him but they'll keep an eye out.

He doesn't have to tell Cirrus when she opens her door. She instantly clocks something's wrong by the look on his face. Dew can feel his expression faltering, worry creasing his brow.

The decision to keep V out of it is mutual. The usual excuses of his newness feel wrong but they're still said. It only takes an exchange of glances to know they don't trust V with this, not yet. Pack handled pack shit. They would get this sorted out and if…and when they found Swiss, they'd both tear into him for making them worry.

Dew texts Mountain while Cirrus goes to grab Aurora. The little ghoulette is one step ahead of them, already sitting crisscross on the bed with her eyes aglow when Dew and Mountain join them. Rain’s filing his nails by the window, looking like he doesn't have a care in the world but Dew recognizes the way his tail is twisting around itself and so does Mountain. The big guy goes to stand by him, putting a hand on his shoulder in such an eerily similar way to Swiss that it nearly sends a shudder through Dew. He puts his crutches against the wall and collapses into the cuck chair, stretching his legs out, wincing as a jolt of pain streaks up his calf.

“Where did he vanish?” Aurora asks, sounding strange and ethereal.

“At the crosswalk.” Dew says. He gives her his hand so she can see his memory and at the moment of Swiss vanishing, she screams.

“No!” She cries, scrambling to get up, reaching out into empty space, into the memory of the past she cannot change. “Swiss!”

Before any of them can catch her, she tips over. Going down on the thin carpet hard, hitting her skull with a sickening noise and by the time Mountain’s gotten to her, helped her up, checked her over, she's shaking and sobbing, dry-heaving as she tries to explain and only makes herself cry harder.

“He's gone!” Is all she can repeat, rocking back and forth. “That stupid, stupid…He's gone!”

When Dew looks at Cirrus and Mountain, he knows with grim certainty it's no longer pack shit.

________

“What do you mean he's gone?”

In any other circumstances it would be funny. V in his bathrobe with a bare face. Copia on the other line, seething with fury. Speaking at the same time with the same words.

“I would've-” Aurora gasps, wiping away tears. “If I had seen, there's a, there's a moment where you can grab them back when they go and I could've, if I had seen, if- if Aeon had seen-”

Aeon hadn't seen. He'd been laughing too hard, too drunk to realize. No one wants to be the one to go get him for this. Tempest is an afterthought. She should be involved. She's one of them now.

No one moves.

“His summoning contract.” Aurora says in a low voice to keep it from breaking. “Up for renewal before we left. But there wasn't any time and he forged the renewal paperwork with my help, he told me not to worry and that he knew what he was risking, he told me it would work out!”

Her voice cracks and they lose her again as she buries her face in her hands.

“You're telling me you lost one of my best ghouls.” Copia growls and to V’s credit, his own voice is steady when he answers,

“Seems like this happened under your watch, Frater.”

Copia swears a bluestreak at V, who stands with his hands together like he's about to give a speech. Dew’s neck prickles at the way he seems to be studying them.

“Let me go look if we carry proper ceremonial equipment to resummon a ghoul.” He simply says and turns away from them to take his leave.

“I'll see what I can do on my end.” Copia mutters, and hangs up.

It's probably for the best if the new guy keeps his space. Already Dew feels better as V opens the door, let them mourn but Dew’s heart sinks again when he hears the sleep-scratchy voice of Aeon just outside.

“Where is everybody?” He asks with a jaw cracking yawn. “I got the weirdest feeling I don't want to be alone right now guys.”

“We have lost one of our band mates tonight.” V says succinctly. “And I am off to see if we can summon him back.”

Suppose there was no way to break it gently to him. Aeon goes from sleepy to stunned in a heartbeat, staggering into the room looking at V as he walks away. Turning to them all with shock etched in every line of his body.

“He's gone?” He asks quietly.

Dew nods slowly. He thinks the others do too.

“But I was…” Aeon walks to the bed on unsteady feet. “He was standing…and I was there, I didn't even…”

“There's nothing when we leave.” Aurora says softly. “It's like when humans die. One second we're here and the next…”

“Why do you know.” Mountain says, sounding utterly heartbroken and Aurora's face crumples. “Out of all of us, why do you know?”

“I don't know why he picked me to help him!” She snaps, fresh tears rolling down her cheeks. “He said he didn't want anyone else to worry, okay? Like it's okay to make me feel like this is my fault. I trusted him to make things okay!”

“We all trusted him.” Rain says. “And he trusted us too.”

“Not enough.” Dew says cynically and hates himself for it. He has the grace to avoid the dirty look Cirrus gives him and taps his good foot against the bad to make it hurt.

“He could have told me too.” Aeon says, dropping onto the mattress like a stone sunk in water. “We could have kept an eye on him, Rory, I could-I could have helped, right?”

There's something in the way Aurora curls up in on herself that sends a message to Aeon none of them can interprete.

“You bitch.” He says quietly, so angrily it makes Aurora lean away from him.

“I'm sorry.” She whispers. “You're too much of a risk, we wanted to keep you safe,”

“Is that how you all feel?” Aeon demands wildly, standing up and swaying on his feet. He pushes back his shock of white hair, forces the eyelid of his blind eye open, glaring at all of them as he digs his nails so hard into the ropey tissue of his scar that it hurts Dew to look at it. “You all think I'm a fucking liability? Just cause of this?”

“No one thinks that-” Mountain starts.

“My powers work fine!” Aeon shouts. “I was cleared by Omega after the fucking dust settled! I'm sorry I was too excited to be up here with everyone. At least I only hurt myself.”

He jabs a finger at Aurora.

“You promised no secrets.” He spits. “And Swiss promised he wouldn't leave so I guess you two are fucking made for each other.”

He's crying by the time he storms out the door, stomping down the hallway. Dew struggles to stand, reaching for his crutches but only succeeds in knocking them down loudly on the floor. Distantly, some part of his brain points out the noise complaints they're all going to receive.

“What do we do?” Aurora asks, looking to Cirrus for guidance. “Just wait? Wait around and see if we can get him back?”

Cirrus' expression is tight as she sits next to Aurora, awkwardly filling in the role of comforter Cumulus so easily played. Cumulus would know what say here, Dew thinks. Cumulus would have chased after Aeon and calmed him down. But she's not here and all Cirrus does is rub little circles into Aurora's back as her eyes fill with tears again.

“What if we can't?” Aurora asks. Dew wishes she would shut the fuck up. Each word out of her mouth makes everything worse. “What if we can't get him back?”

“Show goes on.” Dew says, sounding hollow. He lifts his bad leg and drops it down heavy, the pain so quick and intense it makes him a little nauseous. Anything to keep him from thinking about the future stretched out before then now. “The show must go on.”

Have made a list of your favorite hc and things you like the most about Kara Zor-El?

assorted kara headcanons for your viewing pleasure <3:

[these first few are ones i've mentioned before:]

during her first few months on earth, her wardrobe consisted mostly of clark's hand-me-downs;

she's a natural brunette who dyes her hair blonde, but wears a brunette wig as linda danvers to hide her blonde hair;

she's a trekkie + star trek (tos) was one of the first pieces of fictional media clark introduced her to;

she's largely uninterested in science despite being incredibly knowledgeable in that area (arts and humanities enjoyer kara is real and canon);

she'll always be in dick's age group to me—never any younger;

[and here are some others off the top of my head:]

she'll sing or hum while doing anything absentmindedly (no one close to her would know, but her singing voice sounds just like alura's);

having grown up in a densely populated city, she finds silence unsettling—it reminds her too much of being alone in her escape pod after krypton's destruction. she needs background noise to truly relax, which is why she’s never fully at ease on the kent farm unless the whole family is there—and why she continues to live in big cities on earth, like san francisco, new york, and chicago;

related to that: she makes an effort to spend a lot of time in kandor whenever she can, and she even has her own apartment in the city;

she's a natural storyteller. whenever she reads to kids, she doesn't just read words off the page—she brings the story to life. and even when she's just relaying a piece of kryptonian history to kal, she does it in a way that has him hooked on every word;

there's a room in the fortress dedicated to all the krypton-related art she's made—paintings of people she personally knew, statues of important historical figures, sculptures of different animals, and little dioramas of famous locations on krypton;

this is somewhat pre-crisis specific, but her wardrobe is so bright and colorful because that was the norm on krypton—she’s just carried that flamboyant style into her civilian fashion on earth;

and this one is just canon (at least for pre-crisis kara) but it bears repeating: her favorite genres of music are jazz and hard rock;

as for why i like her character—really everything about her is just so interesting to me and fun/agonizing to think about. for one, i think her connection to krypton is really compelling, especially in how it shapes her dynamic with clark. they’re the only two people who can share the weight of that massive loss, yet neither can fully relate to how it affected the other on a personal level. clark spent a significant part of his life not knowing where he came from, feeling like an outsider on the only planet he's ever known as home, while kara knows exactly where she came from—and exactly what she lost. they share a deep sense of loneliness that can sometimes feel even heavier when they're together—but that doesn't diminish how much they love each other or the strength of their bond. they're the cousins of all time <3

i also love that, despite all the tragedy she’s endured, she never loses her ability to love and show compassion. at the same time, her kindness and empathy toward others don’t diminish her snarky, combative side. her morals are so strong and unshakeable that she refuses to compromise for anyone—even to the point of coming across as self-righteous. and while her combativeness often comes from a desire to protect others or stand up for herself, sometimes she’s just catty and doesn’t like someone! she can be a dick! she can be petty! she's my favorite asshole with a heart of gold <3 my sweet cheese <3 my silly rabbit <3 my rotten little solider <3

okay wait I was onto smth!! maybe!!!

Halloween/Fall Hcs with genshin men!🕸

written w fem reader in mind, established relationships, modern au, light sex joke, ft scara, ajax, lyney

scara

if you're going to want to be out and about on halloween, this is not the guy for you. 100% wants to stay in the whole time

will watch scary movies/play horror games with you, he will any day honestly but- he gets such an ego boost if you hide yourself in his shirt during gorey or freaky parts of movies. he gets so happy that he feels like he can protect you

he will not, under any circumstances, hand out candy to trick or treaters. he will slam the door in a 6 year olds face lmao he thinks it's stupid and will be honest about it. if you have a young sibling, he'll come with you to take them trick or treating (and complain a lot)

he doesn't care for anything sweet, probably opting for sour candies like sweettarts or those weird hard ball things. but maybe if he's feeling generous, he'll buy you some of your favorite treats. even if he hates the sticky sweet gummies and pixie stix you adore, you can bet everything he'll stand in line for hours the day before halloween.

he thinks dressing up is stupid, but you could talk him into a basic couples costume. maybe ghostface and casey (tbh ive never watched scream movies so im going off google) he would probably do that pumpkin head trend with you, he'll feel stupid the whole time but it's worth it to make you happy.

he'd want to carve pumpkins, and he will, but carving them gets difficult for him. it takes a lot of strength to do that, but he will do his best and attempt to help you. maybe it's best to skip this and just paint pumpkins...

you can take him to starbucks for a pumpkin spice latte all you want, but he'll insist on paying and get the worst tasting black coffee every time!! it's even worse because he genuinely likes bitter coffee

overall 10/10 fall boyfie, he doesn't like all the chaos and celebrations, but does enjoy quality time with you<3

ajax

he was literally made for this. he adores autumn and winter. considering he's from shneznaya, he could wear a t-shirt any time in fall and be fine, no matter where you live.

he'll take you to all his friends parties, if your up for it. and you have to have matching costumes, any couple you can think of is a valid costume option. he will be ken. he will wear the fucking roller skating costume. a little off topic but he saw the barbie movie and loved it.

spends halloween hitting up parties and showing off your costumes and takes teucer out to trick or treat at the end of the night. it's literally so cute to see him walking with teucer, eventually carrying him home when it gets too late.

he's so sweet to kids while giving out candy. i think he's the type to have candy bars and other allergy safe options, lollipops and goldfish maybe. the neighborhood kids love his house because of how rich he is, king sized chocolate bars for all. he's such a family man and adores kids so he's made for this.

he goes mad when decorating for halloween, pushing the line between too scary for kids and too cute. somehow it always works out. I feel like he'd be good at decorations because he takes side jobs at haunted houses. he'd be really good at playing a slasher i think.

you'll go to the haunted house he's working at with a group of friends, and he'll end up sneaking up on you from behind, pressing his fake knife to your throat and whispering "boo" it nearly gives you a heart attack but it's mad funny. he definitely gets in trouble for kissing one of the customers, but it's worth it.

if you prefer a calmer way to celebrate, he'll skip most of the parties and have a nice night with you after teucer gets tired out from a sugar rush. you'll snuggle up on the couch together watch whatever scary movies you'd like, he definitely puts up a bunch of candles for the fun atmosphere.

he'll buy you literally anything halloween or fall related. you want a cute new reath for autumn? only the best one on the market for you. want some overpriced seasonal drink? you're having a large and he'll get one too! it's honestly just an excuse to spoil you at this point

he's a 9/10 in this department. would be a 10 if he didn't make jokes about skeletons and boners...

lyney

the halloween boyfriend of the century. he has so much fun with holiday stuff and dressing up makes it even better

he's a performer, he's extra, so he has to win any costume contests! lynette is sick of this nonsense by now but it warms her heart to see you having so much fun helping lyney with his autumnal nonsense.

he's not necessarily one for big halloween celebrations, opting to spend his time hanging out with you and his siblings, possibly telling scary stories. lynette is rather unphased but poor freminet is always freaked out afterwards. there's definitely more than enough marshmallows for all the smores you intend to eat while this goes on.

he'll let you snuggle up next to him around the fire pit if you get a little freaked out. he gets to entertain and be with his lover, two of his favorite things. he'll even roast a few marshmallows for you! but it's expected that you return the gesture.

he'll definitely buy all kinds of dumb halloween decorations from the closest dollar store. don't be suprised when you find plastic spiders placed around the house. he loves to decorate outside of the house, it's slightly obnoxious but you're used to it at this point.

he'll happily take you out for whatever over the top seasonal drink you want, he does this for lynette every year as well. unsurprisingly, she typically becomes the third wheel to these drink based outings. but it's worth it to see lyney fawning over you like a puppy.

as previously mentioned, he dresses up and goes hard on halloween costumes. he'll be the one begging you to match for halloween. he seriously goes hard, the time and dedication of a seasoned cosplayer goes into his costumes.

he's the type to take you to fall festivals and engage in the classic fair games, throwing darts, bobbing for apples, even silly haunted houses. you might end up dragging him into a haunted house, lyney won't get too scared... or at least that's what he says, but he holds your hand the whole time.

a solid 9/10 fall boyfriend, definitely gets into all aspects of october and fall as a whole. he gets a little too carried away and might forget about your scary movie date... but it's okay because now you, him, and both of his siblings all have matching costumes!!

shit i sorta lost motivation with lyneys uhhh it's fineee i just wanted this out for halloween lol

I feel like Rick went through the most physically in TOWL and TWD. While Michonne went through the most mentally. So many people would say Maggie is the strongest female character, but I firmly believe it's Michonne. Michonne lost 2 sons, killed a bunch of kids, saved Judith, lost her female best friend, lost her boyfriend, then her soul mate, and still have the courage to rebuild civilization and have another baby. Maggie doesn't have half of what Michonne has been through. So my question is, who do u think is stronger and what makes the other stand out more.

Hi @theoneswholive32 ! It was definitely interesting to watch the ways in which Michonne and Rick's internal and external hardships paralleled each other in TOWL. And I wrote out the rest of my response to your question below: ⬇️ 💗

I do believe Michonne’s strength is unparalleled. And in choosing who stands out the most, I’m choosing Michonne every time. To be as multifaceted and well-rounded as she is, to be both one of the world’s toughest and one of the world’s tenderest, it makes her an incredibly admirable character who embodies that quote Deanna shared - “Someday this pain will be useful to you.”

Over the course of her journey, Michonne learned to turn her grief and pain into something productive and motivating rather than destructive and devastating all while still being in tune with her hurt and emotions rather than neglecting or supressing them. 

I think it’s hard to compare traumas, in that apocalyptic world especially, so I can't say I agree with the statement that Maggie hasn’t been through half as much tho.

I do agree that Michonne has been through so much and more than people tend to acknowledge. Just because one of her most painful experiences happened offscreen and before she joined the group doesn’t mean it should be dismissed. To experience losing a child at any age is absolutely tragic, and especially as a toddler when they are so defenseless and dependent on others to keep them alive. It makes sense that Michonne shut down the way she did after the horrors she endured. And the fact that she went on to grow the way she did, not by being a strong warrior robot but by reopening her heart and letting love and family in again is one of the greatest signs of her strength and character.

Maggie was put through the wringer too and one of the unique things about her losses is that the three closest people to her (husband, father, sister) didn’t just 💀 but were unalived by human hands. Two of which she had to watch lose their life painfully, slowly, and all just so their murderer could make a point. And that’s on top of the rest of her family being taken out by walkers on the farm. So, even with me being overall neutral on her character, I can’t deny that Maggie has been through a lot of hell and that she’s a strong woman.

I think one of the notable differences between Maggie and Michonne’s strengths is in how they address their issues. After Rick spared Negan, it made sense that Maggie would feel extremely hurt by that executive decision but rather than talk to Rick about it as family she concocted plans behind his back which had tragic ramifications. Whereas when Michonne has an issue with someone she’s been shown to go directly to the source and address things which is another sign of her maturity and strength. 

Now I do think when it comes to physical violence, Michonne is the woman they put through the most physical harm and that is upsetting for several reasons. There is certainly an aspect of it that feels racially charged, even if subconscious because take 9.14 for example, I genuinely can’t see them being comfortable having Maggie or Carol be beat with a pipe while 7 months pregnant the way Michonne was.

One of the millions of reasons I’m grateful to Danai for what she wrote in ep 4 of TOWL is that she actually gave Michonne the space to acknowledge what she’s been through and voice her hurt. And Michonne also got to have someone who cared to acknowledge her scars and hurt as well through Rick. That was important because all too often Black women are portrayed as having to carry so much on their own and just keep it pushing without anyone caring to see their pain or vulnerability.

And to add one more reason that I feel Michonne is exceptionally strong and a standout character is because when she found someone she could trust and be held by in Rick, she opened herself up to that too. It could have been so easy for someone as competent as her to stay the independent lone wolf but she found a partner who she can be her most human and vulnerable self with and that vulnerability shows a whole lot of strength.

So that's my little essay response. Thanks for asking! 😊

[papercuttragedy]

hi I love your Solygbm headcanons, do you have any more headcanons for the skeleton brothers?

Hi, thank you so much for taking the time to ask! And, lucky you! I have another backstory. It's how Sans and Tops became friends. Sorry if it took a while. I took a lot of breaks and spoilers for my later re-adaption for this fiction. Coming soon!

~~~~~~

So, even when Mar (Sans' mother) was still alive and well, Sans was a bit of a friendless kid. Sure, he got along fine with his brothers (mostly) and yeah, he was decent to anybody who had the time (tolerance, really) to talk to him, but overall, he was often at home with his mother to keep her company, while Wingdings searched high and low for any sort of day job to keep them structured. She was actually the one who taught him all sorts of jokes, and he loved every single one of them. He even tried to come up with his own (due to his age at the time, 7 or 8, he wasn't at all great, but Mar enjoyed it dearly and even helped him with more original ones).

After Mar was brutally attacked by a group of monsters that fateful summer night (whether of Asgore's affiliation or not, we'll never know) and died a painful and slow death from those injuries, Sans had a mental shutdown.

He wouldn't talk or look at anybody for days on end. His already friendless personality developed an unusually aggressive behavior towards all to leave him alone. Which, unfortunately, worked. Any slight mention of that incident or even of his mother in general would make him furious and helpless and just full of self-hate.

One day, a few months after Mar's murder, his newfound loneliness caught the attention of older, shit-headed kids who felt the impulse to mess with somebody. I'll never know who exactly escalated it, but eventually, one of the kids says something triggering, which escalates to a 1 on 3 fight. Sans, despite his strength, is easily overpowered, but before a beating can occur, a blue bunny monster, 2 years older than Sans, (and one that Sans had rarely seen, but never really talked to) managed to use his wit to get the boys' hands off him and whatever other half-ass strength God gave him to dispel that fight and leave those small-minded bastards to run off, (presumably not to get caught).

Sans, still saddened and extremely pissed of what one of the kids said to him, begins to quietly leave, though it only causes the bunny boy to follow him, who tries to engage in conversation and see if he's alright.

At first, Sans ignores him, but soon he can't stand the "coddling" anymore, and simply tells the rabbit to "go away" and how he doesn't want his help or pity. This, in turn, pisses the bunny boy, who's confused by what's his deal and how Sans would rather let himself get hurt and unintentionally (without any knowing context) asks if that's what his mother taught him to view himself. This re-angers Sans, and with that, he punches him hard. The bunny boy stays in shock for a moment and then shoves him back in defense. A full-on boy fight happens in that neighborhood alleyway, and by the time both boys are tired, Sans has lost one of his adult teeth, and the bunny boy, a chunk of his ear.

They stay like that for a while, and as Sans breaks into a helpless sob, the bunny leaves him for a bit and takes something from his rendor and gives him a nice cream from his homemade work, something that was influenced from humans.

The following went something like this:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The stranger's voice sounded more persistent.

"C'mon. Take it. You're upset."

Sans snarled at him (or at least tried to).

"Fuck off."

"I will if you just take it."

Agitated, hungry, and far too exhausted to fight back anymore, Sans used his remaining upper body strength to snatch (though his hand trembled far too much to give the aggression he wanted to show) the red frozen thing from the bunny's hand, and took a large bite.

The texture was cool, crisp, and yet a sweetness covered his senses from head to phalanche. He froze, and for a moment, the bunny tilted his head in response.

He probably thinks I hate it.

"Think it's nice?"

Sans didn't bother to respond but simply gave a slow, affirmative nod without looking at him. He looked the type that would boast. A satisfied hum could be slightly heard afterward, somewhat confirming this.

"Well. I'm glad ya like it. Took me all day to get the taste perfected. It ain't much, but I hope it makes your day somewhat less shitty."

Sans searched for any sign of deception or condescension in that cheerful tone. Surprisingly, and thankfully, it wasn't.

"...thanks."

"No problem. If it's okay with you, I can walk you home in case those goons come back for a reround. It's dangerous out here, day or night. Does your mother even know you wander alone out here -"

The remaining sentences died off as soon as Sans felt his gaze return to him, and the gut-wrenching look of misery and hate resurfacing. He wanted to cry all over again but willed enough strength to not give any sort of satisfaction.

After what seemed forever, all that could be heard was a simple "Oh."

"..."

"I- I had no idea. I'm so sorry. I really am."

Took you forever to read the room.

Sans felt himself impulsively wanting to say that thought bitterly, but whatever could come out was interrupted by the bunny boy again.

"I know what you feel. I lost my mother too, recently. About 2 to 3 years back. It's not that long once you think about it. I only have my brother now."

Sans stared, slowly taking the time to look at the bunny again, seeing instead a downtrodden face that stared at the dirt that stained his already dirty clothes.

"I've only got my brothers too."

"Huh. No father?"

"Barely knew him. Wingdings never wants to talk about him."

"Wingdings?"

"My older brother."

"Oh. And your other brother?"

"Papyrus. He's about to be 4 soon."

"I'm really sorry."

"Don't be. It ain't your fault. I'm sorry, too. For being a dick...and for your loss as well."

"Don't be. It ain't your fault either."

....

The bunny turned his face up to look at him, and Sans finally truly looked at his face. They stared at each other, and suddenly, the bunny let out a goofy chuckle and said; "You look not half bad without that tooth there. My mama would have called you a ruffian."

Sans snorted before instinctively rolled his tongue to the spot where the now empty gap in his mouth remained. He couldn't but be impressed.

Wingdings is gonna kill me.

"Speak for yourself. It ain't gonna come back anytime soon. Neither with that nick in your ear."

The bunny placed a hand to cover that ear. His smile spreading farther. "At least it looks cooler."

"Really? No way."

"Oh no?"

The bunny paused again, his smile becoming more gentle as he slowly retracted his hand from his ear and lent it out in a greeting manner.

"Name's Tops."

Sans paused again, and for a moment, he felt as if it were another trap for him to fall into. But, that face was so genuine that it didn't seem likely.

So, hesitantly, he offered his hand and clasped it into a firm shake. Sans felt a smile he never knew was there grow.

"Sans."

OH NO quirk ideas are my weaknesses HECK. Here goes!

Kenny - Undying, but he plays it off as luck/regeneration/anything but his actual power

Cartman - either quirkless and masking it, or possibly an animal hybrid, giving him his agility, keen senses, and sharp teeth/claws despite his bulky build

Butters - Technomancy, especially using electronics to channel electricity. He wears metal to augment his abilities, but shocks himself instead half the time

Clyde - Blood-fueled agility and strength. This could easily typecast him as a villain, but his friends convinced him that he didn't have to be a Dark Lord of anything

Scott - Exponential strength from sugar, with no real limits! Except he'll get extremely sick from consuming too much

Jimmy - Commanding/distracting voice; the better his songs and jokes, the more his opponents just can't help but listen. And no one expects the kid on crutches to zoom up and kick their ass while they're laughing

Craig - command over rodents, especially those from the cavy family. But he loves them too much, so he trained in martial arts instead. By martial arts, I mean he punches people as hard as he can

Tweak - Weather control, but such a vast power is hard to hand it's too much PRESSURE. His hair is in constant disarray from lightning and wind, and he's addicted caffeine to keep his energy up, otherwise he'll be a tired wreck. His gloves keep his powers in check

Tolkien - Plastics conversion/kinesis. Anything made of plastic can be used as a shield, projectiles, robot, armor, etc. He adores his quirk on a secondary level because he can help clean up any area he's in!

Wendy - Social manipulation. She has to be incredibly careful, but her input on any social group or platform can easily sway a group's opinion with barely any effort. She plays this off as hacking to keep people from digging too deep into a potentially hazardous quirk

Timmy - Extreme telekinesis. While he can move objects and even people with his mind, it comes with a heavy cost of a weakened body and very limited speech. He can read minds/project, but uses sign language more often so that he doesn't violate his friends' privacy

Bradley - Control over...carbohydrates? No one is really sure why he can convert any food into cereal and then use it to help his friends or pelt foes with tiny cereal pellets. Or why he picked such a weird flavor. He's a weird kid

Henrietta - Smoke manipulation. Any form of smoke that her breath touches follows her command, with sometimes deadly results. She isn't a villain, but the whole hero thing is so...lame. Like she would rather DIE

AAAA I LOVE THESE

I need to watch BNHA to understand the social stuff, I especially love wendys manipulation quirk and it's funny to imagine Kenny playing off him actually dying as "haha, don't worry! It missed all my vital organs! How lucky right?"

I'm also trying with the idea of Cartman having a genuinely good quirk but he's such a lazy asshole he never practices so he's out paced, OR hes a late bloomer with a shit quirk so everyone assumed he was quirkless

(Maybe he could have like wolverine claws or something to do with his bones ((cause he's always saying he's big boned lol)) Or something to do with getting away almost everything he does like a cherub face manipulation thing)

Also Henrietta smoke dragon what? Drawing that! Love these!

[blossoming-sun]

So.... I made some pj mask AUs based off the prompt/trope people on pjmcord gave me (school au, angels and demons au, fae au)

School AU:

Premise: I know you probably meant just a normal school AU, but I'm actually incapable of writing something without fantasy elements, so its a school au: but they all still have their powers. In this au, the government knows about monsters and magic and stuff, and although the general population doesn't know about them, its not exactly "keep secret at all costs" information. So that nobody dies when the magical kids are too young to fully control their magic, they're kept seperated from ordinary kids in the education system until a certain age. So basically all the nighttime kids are in a class, and teacher is a new, human, teacher fresh out of uni and teaching his first class. These kids are a nightmare for him (/pos) and he struggles not to be killed every night.

Other stuff: There is a lot of drama between the villains and heroes, especially at lunch break. The main friend groups are the terrible trio and the pj trio, but the other characters have friend groups as well, and its not uncommon for everyone to just play nicely as one big group some nights and then all hate each other the next. The sidekicks do exist in this AU, but they're not allowed in the classroom because they're not students. This does not stop any of them: the ninjalinos sneak in to play with night ninja at break, Romeo is always making a machine of some sort, its very hard to keep moths out of the outdoor playground, octobella hides Percival in her bag, etc. The whole au would probably just be teacher being like: "Apophis, I'll put you in detention until the end of time if you try to trap bastet in a pyramid again!" "Kevin, don't put that in your mouth! No, I don't care what Howler dared you do to!" "Romeo, what did I say about stealing stuff from the maintenance room? You can't take over the world with the wifi router!"

Also, the heroes are monsters in this au, so owlette is a harpy, an yu has more dragon features, etc

Angels and Demons AU

Lore: Angels and demons usually hide which one they are, their wings and stuff can dissapear at will and they don't have to use their powers. Furthermore, its a contemporary!angels and demons au, so while everyone has angel or demon blood, some have the full features (horns, slitted pupils, angel wings, halos, etc) when they show their true forms, others merely contain some angel or demon blood and no affects from this (which is most common). There are also powers, which can be pretty much anything. Physical features aren't required to have powers, but they're usually hand in hand.

Other stuff: Amaya is the only one with wings and a few extra eyes, while connor has a halo, and greg has a few small feathers (not enough to fly with or form wings), but has the power of strength. The villains are all demons. Luna has wings, NN has horns (like an oni) and romeo hasn't shown his true form yet. However, Armadylan and An Yu are also demons! The PJs didn't trust armadylan at all at first because they're racist you can't trust demons, but after they met an yu, realised that maybe not all demons are bad and didn't choose to be like this. Also: pharaoh boy is a fallen angel, but bastet refuses to talk about what happened to make him lose his light. The rest of the power heroes are all angels. And for the characters I haven't talked about yet:

Wolfies: no features or powers, except their werewolf powers(werewolf blood dominated the demon genes)

Armadylan: 4 horns on his head that stick out from his helmet, as well as a tail beneath the armadillo tail on his suit. Canon powers

An Yu: Black and red scales, slitted red eyes, fangs, claws. Canon powers

Ice Cub: Has three halos, no powers until his exposure to the asteroid though

Newton: two sets of wings, four eyes (haha), canon powers

Speedy twins: demon tails

Bastet: small wings behind her ears

Octobella: gekko swears she's a demon, but she's not (she's a cecaelia)

feel feee to ask me about the other characters, i was too lazy to write them all (rip)

Fae AU

So, in this AU lilyfay is the only fae. She's from an alien race of space fae, idk. The problem is, she's the first of her kind to visit earth in hundreds of years, and nobody really remembers the rules of the fay anymore, or that they exist. Which means that there are many shenanigans.

Lilyfay loves to clean, but unfortunately power Q is already pretty clean because of PJ robot, so except for when gloop attacks, she needs to find other places to clean. She occasionally just shows up at the flying factory to clean it (romeo is not good at keeping his lab tidy). And Romeo freaked out the first time but he got intrigued after that. When Romeo disrespected her the first time she refused to take that shit and turned him into a fawn (fae will sometimes transform humans into creatures if they don't like them), but only for one night so that he would learn his lesson. After this, Romeo takes up some of the Creideamh Sí so that he won't get deer'd again, which starts with giving Lilyfay milk when she shows up and progresses to the two of them having tea parties together. The duo kind of become friends, but lilyfay will not hesitate to kick his ass if he lies to her or offends her in some other way. Nobody else knows about their secret.

Lilyfay also has a garden in power Q, that has a ton of hawthorn saplings among other things. She and An Yu tend to the garden, but An Yu isn't allowed to touch the hawthorn. Lilyfay would love to drag the gang back to the land of the fay, but she's enjoying earth a lot and figures that she'll stay, for now at least. Also, her true fae form is hidden behind a human disguise (I don't think that lilyfay would be a changeling, but i'm going to incorporate some elements of changelings in for funsies) she can also play instruments and loves to dance, but she and her friends only ever play just dance and take turns so that she doesn't have to (by law) drag them away forever.

[anachronistic-falsehood]

nhw greats powersets and trigger events <3 finally making this post bc i keep talking about them and in my head im like yeah everyone knows about min double trigger event everyone knows alphonz dissociative breaker state this is common knowledge wdym!!! and then i remember i have not discussed it At Length in a full post i have only discussed it with ros and mac. throws them at you like a softball

Strider (hero name Bracer)

lived in foster homes for most of his life and aged out of the system. ended up homeless on the streets for a good few years and lived under near constant stress. he triggered when he got followed around the city by a gang of asshole rich kids and got beat the fuck up!! badly!!! he didn’t originally want to be a hero, but virion’s dad found him and asked him to help protect the city with him and flora

mover 2: uses short bursts of super speed/strength to travel short distances, can be used for climbing, jumping, running, etc. bursts of enhanced speed/strength last for a few seconds at most, and needs a few seconds of rest in between each burst

thinker 5: has an innate sense of most enemies' physical vulnerabilities just by looking at them and can deduce the best way to take them down in seconds

striker 3: enhanced reflexes. deflects attacks faster than any human should be able to. uses bursts of speed/strength to deliver harsh hits to weak points. often uses knives, brass knuckles, and other short range weapons to add more punch behind his blows

stranger 5: similar to pd william's “hide in plain sight” ability (or imp from worm's powers). may be seen but not noticed. blends in perfectly with a crowd. no one questions his presence and doesn't realize he's not supposed to be somewhere unless they REALLY think about it. he’s very hard to focus on, especially if the people he's around are focused on other things. he can't always control this power and may occasionally go unnoticed and ignored in his own group until he purposely makes his presence known. could literally stand in front of a villain's face and they would just talk over him unless they stopped to Really Think About It

Grayson (hero name Gauntlet)

second gen cape!! mother was a cauldron cape tinker who specialized in medieval architecture and father was a case 53 cauldron cape hero in new haven. his parents were separated and he often stayed with his mother, who was typically too busy to pay much attention to him. this resulted in him playing around the towers of their castle when he was ten, falling out the window of an unfinished tower, and breaking his ankle. he stayed on the ground alone and screamed for his mother until his voice was hoarse and triggered half an hour after the initial fall. upon triggering, some of his father's physical traits manifested, and he gained small horns, fangs, claws, and a tail

tinker 4: specializes in medieval armor and weapons, can incorporate technology and modern materials into creations for greater protection and damage. makes armor and weapons for alphonz, gus, and strider (and himself ofc). no other powers aside from that but is still quick, light on his feet, and very capable in battle. not to be underestimated!!!

Ram (hero name Bullseye)

he lived in houston texas as a teenager/young adult. he was Really Fucking Stupid in college and drunkenly played russian roulette with a group of close friends. the bullet changed places many times throughout the game as the gun changed hands, and by the time it got to the last of their friends, they thought the bullet was in another chamber and that he'd be safe. ram's friend ended up accidentally shooting himself, and ram triggered immediately!!! solstice and gauntlet traveled to texas at solstice's recommendation and ended up recruiting him

thinker 5: enhanced visual perception. can't help but pay attention to dozens of small details up close, so small things moving and people fidgeting are incredibly distracting and can be very overwhelming. perception is much better used from distances, where he can perceive small details in order to gain information or pick targets. near perfect accuracy when shooting targets from distances up to 30 meters (~100 ft)

tinker 3: proficient with guns. not good at inventing new kinds of guns or making them from scratch, but he can repair and upgrade any kind of existing firearm. immediately proficient in handling/shooting any new firearm he's given

Min (hero name Icewalker)

she lived in a nice city on the east coast called ranz <3 she'd been studying physics and math in college and was walking back to her dorm with her Good Normal Friend peter sqloint when it started to rain, and then the attack happened and everything went to shit!! she triggered when leviathan directly attacked her college and she saw the bodies of her dead classmates, gaining her hydrokinesis powers. tide found her and directed her to a shelter, but the shelter was attacked and destroyed as well, collapsing around her and trapping her legs under the rubble, and she immediately triggered a second time and gained her changer abilities. the greats freed her from the rubble and got her somewhere safe and she decided to move to fauna with them

shaker/blaster 7- hydrokinesis. controls water in a similar way to tide, but can also change the state of the water she controls by freezing or evaporating it at will, allowing for long distance attacks with ice. limited to a radius of 50m (~160ft)

changer 6: can change parts of her body into water, ice, or vapour, but never the vital parts like anything in the head or torso. often uses abilities to summon ice spikes all over her body for protection, change limbs to ice blades to fight, or partially turn into vapour or water to avoid getting hit. often extends her legs into tall spikes of ice and walks around towering over buildings like some horrifying harbinger of icy death <3

Chungus (hero name Barbarian)

okay fuck you his name is gus and chungus is a mean nickname from school. he only lived with his mother and was held back multiple times in school. he was bullied horribly for this!!! he did a lot of sports but being the best wrestler on the team did not save his ass from teenage cruelty. his trigger event happened after gym class one day, when he waited to be alone in the locker room to take a shower, but a group of other students came back in as soon as he was undressed and beat the shit out of him. badly!!! he triggered in the middle of it, and when they decided they were done and left him there, he went home and skipped the rest of the school day. solstice eventually found him and recruited him

Brute/Changer 4-8: similar to lung from worm, in that he gets stronger the longer a fight goes on. goes from being able to lift up a truck to being able to potentially lift an entire building. his body gets bigger than it already is, muscles get stronger, and his skin gets tougher and harder. it doesn't become completely invulnerable, but simple weapons like knives won't break skin. injuries heal at a much faster rate, healing almost less than a second after they're made, and could even reattach dismembered limbs if he's quick enough. killing him late in a fight would likely take decapitation, bisection, or some other form of dismemberment that severs his vital organs from each other, and even then he will be conscious for much longer than a normal person would be before dying

Alphonz (hero name Justice)

he lived in a midwestern city and was a Good Little Catholic Boy <3 then the simurgh attacked on a random sunday while he was in church and he lost his entire family, and he triggered!! he went. a little off the rails, believing his powers came from god, and he threw himself into religion and devoted himself to getting stronger with the intent to rid the world of fear and destruction, with his end goal being to one day fight the simurgh and kill her himself. some of the greats were there for the simurgh attack, and they found him in the remains of his church dissociated as hell and in his breaker state, and stuck with him through the entire quarantine period. while he hasn't been talked down from wanting to kill the simurgh, he has been convinced to take his training slow and focus on bettering the world on a smaller scale in fauna (at least for now)

breaker 8/blaster 5: his body turns into light in his breaker form. the air around him within a 5m (~16ft) radius heats up, and light around him bends and gets sucked towards him like he’s at the centre of a black hole. shapes of light may begin to form around him, throwing off the perception of those looking at him. if he's in his breaker state long enough, he may form wings of light. can touch things in his breaker state, but his touch burns. can also turn into completely intangible beams of light, and can fire superheated rays of light from his hands. becomes emotionally volatile in breaker state, which will lead to him either being very quick to anger and impulsive, or being unresponsive and dissociated. he may involuntarily enter his breaker state if he's afraid, upset, or otherwise distressed. finds it very hard to leave his breaker state!!

Meet my First Tav-

Wanted to give an introduction to my first Tav the one that I have played over 100 hours of this game in (because I've gone from act one to act three twice now and still haven't went to end game yet).

Just a little something while my inbox is empty- so if you have any requests please let me know :)

I won't subject you to reading if you don't want so here we go-

Name: Sarade Race: Human, mid twenties Class: College of Swords, Bard + Way of the Open Hand, Monk Deity: Corellon Larethian Alignment: Chaotic Good Romance: Karlach

Backstory: Sarade before the nautiloid was a troubadour. Wandering the Sword Coast, and the wilds to deliver a bit of joy into people's lives. It's how she was raised- her parents belonging to a group that sticks to the coast line. Though if you lined said group along a wall and told her to pick out her parents- she couldn't tell ya.

More of a commune sort of thing versus distinct family units. Because it was more communal like that she was raised with a crap ton of different beliefs and lessons to follow. So she's pretty back and forth when it comes to do the things she wants to do, but she's got a few tenets she sticks by.

1.) Give no shit, but take none in return. If someone insults you return the compliment. It's all about being respectful until someone disrespects you- the second they do, gloves off it's time to party.

2.) You are better than no one, but that doesn't make you any worse than them. Kind of goes with the first one, it's why you respect everyone around you. But this serves as a reminder that you aren't hot shit either. You're just as mid as everyone else.

3.) Gods and powerful beings are not to be trifled with. (Given by a man who was polymorphed into a frog for the better part of two years- he does not recommend).

4.) Waste not, want not- you equip yourself with the shit you find (dead, abandoned, on the ground- it's yours for the yoinking), don't spend your hard earned gold on shit you can find on your own. That being said- if it can't be crafted by your own hands- get it or find someone who can.

5.) There is always another way out of a sticky situation. Fighting is a last resort. Running away- never an option. If this was a hill you decided to make a stand on, you better be willing to die for it or get locked up for it.

6.) As much as you are aware of your own strengths and weaknesses, you need to be wary of the strengths and weakness of those around you- the last thing you need is someone who's going to run away when they need to stand and fight or who would send you down the river for a few gold pieces.

7.) The only good rich man is a dead one. No one can be that fancy and have it through good means. There's always something fishy about them. Find it out, take em down. Any means necessary. Though Sarade has taken this to mean more of- she'd rather oust them as pieces of shit, and get public approval before doing what she needs to do, refer to tenet five.

She left her commune at 19 wanting to see more of Faerun, and hasn't encountered them again. She figures fate will pull em back together if need be, but for the time being she understands that she learned what she needed from that path.

Sarade plays the fiddle (violin, fiddle- main difference is she prefers folk to the high class music heard in proper society), and really enjoys being able to wow the kids with certain feats of sword play. Though there was an incident, she almost caught her hair on fire when a trick went awry- she doesn't think that tavern was ever able to rebuild, and she can't step foot in Blackford Crossing again.

Actually she was just leaving that disaster and on the outskirt of Triboar when she was was nabbed by the Nautiloid.

---

But- there you have it- my first Tav, who I have spent way too much time with. If you want to know more about certain in-game options she made or opinions she has on certain characters- I'd be happy to indulge.

Okay, at this point I have to admit I have no idea what to do with A Snake in Horseland. I have a few scattered ideas but nothing coherent, and with how long it's taking I kind of just want to list out the ideas and move on.

-the Syndicate gets dealt with first because they're relatively easier, not trying to hide, and aren't relevant to the Ozymandias and Root plotline. Crocker's a joke since he doesn't have any powers whatsoever, Vlad gets taken out by Luigi because he's a ghost, Vaati gets into a fight with the Wonderbolts and a bunch of the flight-capable characters before ultimately falling to Fluttershy's therapy-fu, Gohma fights the Hologram Trio and uses the leftover memories from Byte to mess with their heads a little, and I have no idea what to do with Lokoko besides the fact that any MLP or SMG characters will probably have some commentary on her and Frida's dynamic. Ultimately they end up retreating back to the MRU universes while the Anchors stay behind to help the Crew (and find Timmy because the kids have been having their Airship Adventure during all that)

-The Kids' find Ozymandias and Garyboy first, and Elanore managed to beef up the ship's weapons enough that they can throw Ozzy around even if they still can't actually hurt him, so between that and the fact that Gary's not invincible they're able to hold their own until the adults show up.

-Lil Coding actually listened when Hex yelled at him and is helping.

-The first real Big Moment in the fight is Ozzy making the mistake of taunting Mira and Antivirus with how close Root's code is to being fully reintegrating with his, resulting in them fusing through the Power of Rage into ANNIHILATION, and thanks to having AV's strength and Mira's speed combined they can hit hard enough that it makes Ozzy actually feel pain, even if it's technically not doing damage.

-Another way to make him feel pain is Toad managing to latch onto his head and sing at the top of his lungs, because no matter how invulnerable you are if you're capable of hearing you're able to experience the agony of Toad Song.

-There's also Pinkie Pie and Mario managing to annoy him enough with their antics at one point that they lure him into biting his own tail, which does the first actual damage out of everything they're throwing at him (which is a lot), and also knocks loose a few scales (these ones don't end up as Offshoots btw. they're just basic objects and will probably grow back), which Link gathers up, uses an item duplication glitch on, and starts fusing to his arrows. So now he's the biggest threat of the group since he's actually able to do damage.

-Twilight, magical genius that she is, manages to reverse-engineer the Fusion command just from observing Annihilation being formed, work out how to replicate its effects as a spell, and actually successfully use said spell with Rainbow Dash to become who I'm calling Lightspeed Aurora, in ten seconds flat.

-Bob finally figuring out how Changeling Shapeshifting works results in him divebombing Garyboy as the Bob-omb Battlefield Chain Chomp...which unfortunately results in Garyboy biting the inside of his mouth. Fortunately, instead of, you know, dying, he gets glitched out so badly that it changes him back into his normal character model (complete with being 3D again) and reapplied the False Positive glitch, which gives him an idea...

-Fast forward a couple scenes and Ozzy's got everyone on the ropes (of course he does, they can only disorient him and do chip damage), when he's suddenly hit by a massive ball of water. They all turn to see where it came from and see Lily back in her normal form (though still 2D unlike Bob) as tall as she was as Sonata and glowing with Meme Energy, with Bob in his sunglasses and a modified version of his gold necklace (the skultula charm is replaced by a lowercase 'i') and Pinkie with matching sunglasses and a silver Pi symbol necklace standing next to her...doing as close an equivalent to holding hands as a guy with swords for arms and a pony are able. Yes, 3 and 4 do grump a little that even those two seem to be better than them at being SMGs.

-Unstoppable Force (Lily is huge and fucking pissed) meets Immovable Object (Ozymandias is still indestructible), and the Magic of Friendship intervenes because of course it does they're in Equestria. There's a lot of rainbow glowy stuff, said rainbow glowy stuff somehow lets Lily's not-quite-a-Storm-Trident-Replica-anymore stab a gateway into Ozymandias's code, find Root, have a brief heart-to-heart and pull her out.

-Once she's out of Ozymandias Root is in her Maneuver form; an eastern dragon that's almost as big as Ozzy's current Equestrian dragon form and about half the size of his true form. It's already been described by Efficiency in a few of their branching AUs so I'm not going into that here. She manages to deal a massive blow on Ozzy's chest, he discovers that whatever that mix of Meme Energy and Friendship Magic did made it so he can't absorb her at all anymore, and he grabs Garyboy and barely manages to tear open a portal and escape.

-He didn't actually set a specific destination so the Admins can't track him like AV did when he left SM64, and even if they could nobody's in any shape to chase and fight him, so they decide to worry about the two of them later. In the meantime, the Anchors have to get home, everybody has to recover from All That, and somebody has to explain to Equestria and its allies what the hell has been happening for the last day and a half or so.

-No, Bob and Pinkie don't get to keep being SMGi and SMGpi full-time. It is noted that they were actually pretty good at it though. Also Bob might have wireframe scars now (he did get hit by Garyboy's venom after all), but he's always completely covered up so we'll never know.

-Wherever it is that Ozzy and Gary ended up, they find out that the injury on his chest left a wireframe scar...and that that specific part of him is no longer invulnerable.

Fuck, marry, kill. Categories are: Wondergirls, taverin, Rand's wives, Aiel Wise One trio, Amyrlins. Go.

These are stupid games, and I will only entertain this one, because I think there is something to be gained in understanding the characters, in order to give a proper answer. Or just show everyone what an idiot you are.

So.

Wondergirls. Probably not hard to guess for people who know me.

F - Nynaeve. Yeah, she has a lot of puritan village elder vibes, but all three of them are rather uptight and killjoys. On the other hand, from the mouth of someone who has experience with Nynaeve: "...I'll miss having my back clawed."

Nynaeve is great in the sack. Per a guy who has plenty of experience.

M - Elayne. She's rich, she can cook and despite the entitlement and arrogance, has no problem letting someone else take the lead if it makes them happy, while being ready to step in and take character herself if they screw up. Unlike certain other people in this group, she's not going to be a ball-buster just for the sake of proving to the world she's in charge. Elayne is the one who works at being a partner. She doesn't need a leader, and she doesn't need to be the boss.

K - Egwene. If for no other reason, she's the shortest. She's a killjoy. She has the most attitude and the least justification for it. You'd have to work to find a trio that puts her into any other slot without actively evil or physically repulsive people.

Ta'veren.

F - Mat. Experience, and he's not going to make you work for it. He has an actual philosophy about seeking to make his partners happy. As opposed to "What are you doing, don't you know how hateful I am?"

M - Rand. The right balance between commitment-shy and clingy. Fertility also seems to be a strength. Easily the most responsible of the three as well.

K - Perrin. This is actually not a default, "Kill Perrin" was the first and easiest choice for this trio, before figuring out which to assign Rand and Mat. He's the worst friend and the least considerate of the trio, plus the first one to be an actual murderer. Even his episodes of self-pity are less interesting than Rand's.

Rand's partners.

F - Aviendha. One of the most athletic characters, and frankly, probably not qualified for the marriage one, given her very ta'veren-esque approach to understanding the opposite sex.

M - Elayne again. For the reasons above. Although Min & Aviendha are tighter competition for her than Two Rivers girls, they both seem a lot more high maintenance.

K - Min. I never really warmed to her relationship conduct with Rand or thought it cute or charming, and when you add in the fact that she uses sex to manipulate or extract promises she has no business asking for from her partner, you definitely don't want her for the other two places. And frankly, she's far and away the easiest target.

Wise Ones (I am assuming Bair, Melaine & Amys)

F - Bair. She's been around the block, she knows what she's doing. She seems like the one most prone to dirty jokes, which suggests she's fun.

M - Amys. She's pretty chill about Rhuarc doing whatever he wants, even if she apparently has the unfortunate habit of collecting teenage daughters. You don't see her trying to change him, either.

K - Melaine. She was apparently militantly single, before suddenly flipping and wanting a husband out of the blue, and seems like she's both a micromanager and not very good at it, and clingy to boot. Probably a lot of work in the sack, too. And for Aiel, having twins named Egwene and Min is probably the equivalent of "Sunshine" and "Peace". Or a suburban white lady naming her kids Mei Ling and Shaquana. Plus, she has the worst poker face in talks with Aes Sedai, and frankly, does the least useful stuff of the group in the story.

(For record, Sorilea goes into the Kill slot no matter whom she tags in for)

Amyrlins.

F - Egwene. Youngest, supposedly really good-looking. Probably the least deserving of execution in this trio, but for reasons above, not putting a ring on that.

M - Elaida. She can knit, and is the only one proven capable of maintaining a long-term functional personal relationship, retaining Morgase's trust and friendship as her advisor for a quarter of a century, before circumstances outside her control messed that up. Good with kids, too. The ability to get the kids to play outside in winter time canNOT be overvalued. And she doesn't let them get away with any crap or slacking either. She takes an interest in landscaping, which I absolutely hate. Maybe you don't want her as chairman of the board you're on, but she seems a pretty good partner in the day to day stuff. Also, I like her inclination to troll assholes who are backstabbing her, but she can't quite get rid of them yet, like Meidani.

K - Siuan. She's just about the worst of the significant good guys and people actively fighting for the Light. She's egocentric, and a classic pointy-haired boss. She is the worst combination of locked in to institutional thinking, and at the same time, willing to abandon established practices on (generally ill-advised) whims. You kind of get the sense that the Pattern put her in charge of the White Tower specifically because it couldn't be anything but an obstacle to the Dragon Reborn, and Siuan is the best bet to drive it into a ditch. She also sucks at laundry, and I seem to recall it being implied she's a bad cook, too. And from her interactions with Bryne and behavior in Duranda Tharne's establishment, she's probably a ton of work, highly critical and a dead fish in the sack, all in one horrific package.

That was more interesting and fun than I thought it would be. Thanks, Anon.

My son is going to have a killer punch in about 4 months just after Comic-Con and we need that at comic Con his punch will kill any of those in Jason's group he's the one who got knocked out by Dan Dave. He's saying it for a few reasons you're going to have to guess..

-I'm at my husband well and he knows what he's doing and yeah he's going to have a killer punch enough to liquefy your brain and punch your face into your brain that's what he's saying as it is right now he can punch this wall and it's a castle wall and it makes a certain sound and a certain amount of it and people duplicate it and they figured out how hard it is and they're trying to do it have something to break their hands just that little tapping and the people with broken hands have bone strength compared to In-Shape human of 1.1 to 1.2 people who are weak are not doing it and people at 1.3 have a damaged bruised hand for weeks 1.4 the same thing all the way up to 1.7 and they can't do it and already you're nervous

Hera

It's very detailed she's paying attention she's getting it from listening to you idiots. Three and a half months he will be able to hit and kill any of those in that generation of Jason well Jason's kids so Jason could be a b**** really if he hits you twice it'll be the same thing Meghan Markle falls in there and he's not planning on hitting her but if she wants to fake wrestling first it would be a quandary for her is there an idiots and she thinks it'll be sexual and stuff like that but it would introduce him and men would say you can't wrestle a girl that I guess you beat her and it's a weird reaction and it would allow him to beat people and she wants that as a threat and he says Dave Dan should be dead you can come in his Pat. And she says no. Emily blunt she'll be second and she would probably go airborne like she's always wanted to be but a son and daughter say she's going to be airborne before in the edge of Tomorrow but she could raise in rank for the wrestling match. Tom Cruise would want that to happen not that his grandson is involved but he lit her up pretty good. There's a long list of women Jason is in that list. He's got man boobs that are very big and Trump's man boobs are gigantic they like real boobs and our women are saying to knock it off we're seeing them having firefights with trumpsters and duplicates a bunch of different ways now it's mostly versus clones and duplicates and they're not in the same side but they are using AR-15s this is a full combat weapon in their own fully automatic they don't fire as fast as some guns but they're accurate and it's easier to hit things and it waste less ammo and it works but yeah they're into it now and this kind of thing proves we have to be there so we're moving in and it's sacrilege but they're trying to capture us and Dolores is bad at it she's never that good but her ideas are not bad compared to others other people are s*** she says that this is going to suck you blow you can't tell them.

This is great he's going to be able to punch you out and you're still going to sell this dumb stuff even though you look like a stark naked retard. Wherever you go people pick on you look at the retard and you get mad and you get stuffed into a pipe or a box and forgotten that's what they like doing to you cuz you're a creep who sits there all day that's the things up or does nothing.

This is actually Dan Dave and he's trying to threaten and he's going to check out because of it and people are going to get rid of him he's a huge spaz that guy is a big animal and he's saying all sorts of stuff people hear him because he's telling them and he's not going to make it and his son could be standing here with anything okay going into one of your houses grab the real weapon yeah you'd have to take it apart and put it back together and clean it a lot of people know that about his stuff cuz he is not fastidious and he doesn't do regular maintenance on vehicles yeah the firearm works firecrackers work too and people buy those and you do things with them that someone says it's not really hard you can buy 50 M50 or m80s stick them together on your gas tank and goodbye so he's saying how would you trigger it I guess I'd use your cell phone and call you so people going to start that we're going to be busy

-he knows how to do it by the way you have a device that receives your signal and it's digital he can get your signal from your cell phone bill and digital is not like analog then you make another receiver that's a little tougher but you can get one just order it from the Chinese and other people are trying to do this and there's a little bit of current it goes on your phone he just ties into a line opens the phone up and ties into something test it you can touch it doesn't need to do all your mumbo jumbo and I put a little igniter in and the igniter would go on to something he knows ignites it's not a bottle rocket but yeah he does that and it'll fire up and it would light all the ways you're pretty much blow up at the same time it's a lot of flame and with 50 of those it would ignite the gas tank and your car will be thrown 20 ft into the air at half a tank which you usually have in there that's about you Dan Dave what an amateur can do someone who's never made a device in his life

So we're waiting for clearance to print and we're getting it some say we shouldn't and give us clearance

oughghhghg took me like 3 days BUTT!!!all the kid designs for the bfly kids + corduroy White Man iHate anyway

i made basic ideas for them in my sims 4 CAS (i didnt make them playable that would be far too much work lmao) and decided what to make them look like n stuff ..

DETAILS!! about them below the cut yayyy! :333 (read it read it read it)

Hugo Mason | He/Him He has super strength, super resistance, Iron skin and he can make his hands really hot. He's the de-facto leader of their team. Hugo is quite hot-headed but cautious, he's still learning how to be a team player and he's trying his best to remain friends with the people he bosses around. He wants what he thinks is best for them, but he's never really asked what the team specifically wants.

Skyla Blue | She/They She has "clear sight" and supernaturally perfect aim. Her clear sight lets her see things overs can't, its as if her eyes are magnifying glasses. As Hugo's best friend, she tends to take reign when he doesn't, despite not being 2nd in command. She's stubborn and smart, and very smug about it. And she will not let you underestimate her.

Oliver Fluer | He/Him He has the shadow and light manipulation powers, but he tends to focus more on light. As 2nd in command, Oliver takes orders and he follows them well. Being a teacher's pet, especially in this group, isn't seen with the best light, but Oliver will do what it takes to be the best superhero he can. Obedient, a bit of a pushover and overall amiable. He tends to be on the quieter side, a little more reserved than his friends.

Floris Pond | He/Him (She/Her) She has the power of flight, as well as the ability to control sound waves. She focuses more on the music part, as it's more fun. Burdened with the responsibility of scouting, Floris has to learn how to manage going against her own, personal views against vigilantism and working with a superhero team that doesn't function like one. She's steadfast, hard-headed and wants the best for the city she lives in.

Alan Carrion | He/They Despite his cheery deposition, Alan appears to have been gifted with vague dark magic abilities. Alan is a hard hitter with a penchant for miss his hits more often than not. He's quite the chatterbox and loves a long conversation with his friends. As an newer addition to the team, he's having a hard time fitting in with everyone except Mel & Max.

Mel Addington | She/Her Born with the power to change any part of her body to that of a snake, Mel had trouble settling into her birth family. So much so, they put her up for adoption. She's lived a life of hardship and only came out of it as Corduroy's only (legal) child. With each disappointed glare he sends her, it hurts knowing that is isn't one of a teacher's -- It's one of a father's. Her temper rivals Hugo's and her snark tends to put everyone else on edge.

Maximus Janus Eleguard | He/They Blessed with a multitude of remarkable powers (Time travel, future sight and teleportation) it's quite the touch of fate that Max was left on Corduroy's doorstep. As the oldest of the team, and it's actual first member, it's a mystery as to why he's been relegated to the team's support. With a friendly air, he's managed to worm his way into all of the member's hearts and acts as the heart of the team.

Corduroy Addington | He/Him The Founder of the Academy. His journey first started with Max, who was left on his doorstep. Sensing the pull of fate, Corduroy decided to go on the track of creating a superhero team to rival the cities own "Half-Point". With nothing but a strict schedule and training regime, Corduroy finds himself at odds with the team almost all the time. He doesn't let his dismay show, instead he lets every drop of disappointment out in its place.

Naaaaw, you dont have to be good at math to write a character who is good at it. You have the narrative freedom to showcase his strength without having to lay it all out.

One thing I learned while writing my book and literally millions of words in fanfiction is:

believe your readers to be smart enough to fill the gaps! If you lay it all out, they probably think the author is pretentious and thinks they lack brain mass to understand what the narrative tries to explain.

Sooo, you can write about characters that are smarter and/or more talented than you without then and their strength falling flat. [You can also write a murderer without needing your own experience in that matter.🤣]

For Steve and his mathematics brain I would probably write an outline for scene something like this:

The kids are all sitting on Steve's dinner table, they're mostly quiet expect for a few heated exchanges here and there. Which is odd - usually, by this time in the DnD game, the living room is filled with laughter or screaming.

Instead, they're arguing whether it's logical if [insert interesting narrative idea, I'd probably go with something physics] the force shield Lucas casted earlier would be able to stand against the Cthulhu worshippers maze.

"It doesnt make sense - mathematically," Dustin screeches. [For Stranger Things it would make sense to bring in Dustin or Nancy because they're canonically pretty smart and we all know this. F.e. It makes sense to take Dustin so we can compare him and what we usually know about him to be true with Steve and what we know about him.]

Steve, intrigued by their outrage AND it being a problem that's probably easy to solve with numbers, comes closer and checks into the conversation. [Perhaps one person could dismiss him in a lighthearted manner (not too much, because we want them to be an ass to home bc Steve deserves the world), indicating that yes: Steve is not known by them and the reader to be the smart person in the room.] Instead of taking the comment to heart, Steve leans in closer, demands for the group to give him an overview of the issue and after receiving it, he sits down, grabs Dustins pen and an empty paper and gets to work. He feels their stares, surprised and disbelieving, but he concentrates and then shows them the result.

Theres an uproar - claiming it to be wrong, that it can't be that easy or fast to solve, etc until Eddie [let's take Eddie if we want them to have a deeper connection and perhaps if we want Eddie to be extremely impressed by Steve and Steve being flustered ☺️] takes the paper and reruns the equation once, twice, trice, always coming to the conclusion that Steve is correct.

Then Dustin and the other kids tear the paper out of Eddie's hands, also checking if it can be true, but Steve doesn't pay them attention anymore...not with Eddie's eyes fixed on him.

He does, however, jumps when Dustin screeches into his ear that this is advanced mathematic without any help of a calculator or a physics book and how the fuck did he do that?!

And Steve, smug and gloating, just says something like "Oh, as if it's hard." [Doing a tiny homage to legally blonde for the readers to enjoy.]

Give me good at math Steve. Maybe he’s dyslexic and words never made sense and always swam away from him, but numbers? He can memorize formulas, he can recognize pattterns.

I feel like it would add so much dimension to his character. I always like it in fic when they write Steve knowing a second language, or playing an instrument because I feel like the fandom has taken this idea that Steve is incompetent and ran with it. He’s incredibly clever, and sarcastic (a sign of intelligence btw), and snarky. He thinks quickly, is it well thought out? Not always, but that’s just his lack of self preservation skills. People can be smart and idiots at the same time, they can have their strengths and I wish that was portrayed more in fic and fandom.

So let him be good at math. Let him just be able to make sense of it. Show him tutoring El and assisting Lucas and Max when Mike and Dustin seem too condescending or intimidating or bitchy.

He’ll be bitchy too, but in an understanding way, because he knows what it’s like to struggle with something others find simple.

Also give us a scene where Mike or Dustin find out and flip their lids PLEASE
