#this scene specifically OHH MY GOD

I don’t know if I request this but please a Kenji Sato x fem reader? The reader is doing the tyla dance in front of kenji and his reaction is priceless. https://youtube.com/shorts/PWqx7t2rF6A?si=zMeFzuJpH1Ka0IMO

OHH MY GOD. YES. simply brilliant, anon.

i love this idea and i love you<33

masterlist !

you set the timer on your phone and placed it on top of the tv table, ensuring it was in the perfect position to capture your tiktok dance. taking a few steps back, you found yourself positioned perfectly in the center of the frame,

kenji was lounging on the couch, sitting cross-legged with a bag of popcorn perched on his lap.

he was engrossed in the process of stuffing his face with the salty snack, his fingers delving into the bag again and again to grab another handful of kernels.

kenji knew that when you positioned yourself with your back towards him, it was a cue that you were about to perform another tiktok dance.

however, he had no way of knowing what specific dance routine you had in mind this time.

he blinked at your back cluelessly, eyes darting from you to your phone, and back to you.

the music began and you performed the steps of the 'tyla dance challenge' arching your back graciously, your hair flipping to the side as the beat dropped.

you circled your hips, moving in precision and flawlessly. the crop top you were wearing flaunted your curves.

you raised your hands at your sides and kicked up your feet, turning around and rolling your hips in an alluring manner.

kenji froze, his mouth still open in the process of shoveling another handful of popcorn into his mouth, as his eyes caught sight of your ass.

as the popcorn bag slipped from his grip and spilled all over his lap, kenji's mind was filled with nothing but the sight of your ass.

every other thought faded away as his attention completely fixated on your curves, leaving him momentarily stunned and forgetful of the popcorn that had just been in his mouth, now tumbling onto his lap and littering his sweatpants.

but without a moment's thought, kenji pounced, darting into the scene like a hungry bird of prey. with a swift and playful move, he swept you up into his arms, causing a shriek of laughter to escape your lips.

his arms wrapped tightly around you, holding you close as he spun you around in a playful embrace. one of his palms crept down to give your ass an possessive squeeze, "mine,"

"kenji!!"

kenji hiked your leg up the side of his body smooching your cheek, his teeth gently nipping at your cheek affectionately. the feeling of his sharp canines grazing against your skin pulled an excited giggle from you.

More DSB headcanons (because I wanna)

- Cardinal is either surprisingly docile or incredibly violent with criminals/rogues/villains. No in between

- Tim will just mail random shit to people he doesn't like (rats to Ra's, roaches to Lex, a card that tells the Joker to "fuck off and die in an alley")

- He has run into Lady Shiva at some point and has surprised her with the fact that he knows some of her moves (idk if you know but he trained with Lady Shiva for a little bit in canon)

- His accent switches on occasion to something totally random

- He gets weirdly calm during rogue attacks, and it freaks the Batfam out because "how the fuck can this bratty rich kid do this so well???"

- Not specifically DSB but he plays Project Sekai because it helps with hand eye coordination

-🎭☕

(no this is definitely not because I saw the post that you had 11 asks and I wanna change that)

OHH Love these- and thank you for filling my ask box, always appreciated <333 ____________________

True! Though Cardinal doesn't actually deal with rouges as often (the bats are always quick to cover that front and they try not to cross work paths unless nessicary, aka why the riddler fight was so far "from the usual") They are the silent hand behind the scene, and the ocassional "ghost of christmas future" like with Arthur.

The most "docile" Cardinal is, is towards Catwoman where they will pop in on her mid robbery, just stare for a sec- and then dip. And the most agressive probably with Black Mask/Joker (which yall will see eventually :) ______________________

Not something I considered before, and id say Tim has definently fucked with old foes for the hell of it- BUT he does specifically avoid anything close to the leauge, The last thing he wants is to be on Ra's radar on top of all the other bs he deals with.

But mailing bananna cream pies with small explosives to a joker hideout?? Yes. ________________________

YES- I actually touched on this a little bit (the training not the meeting) but I do think they've run into eachother. But that Shiva, unlike most of the other villains/antagonistic characters- seeing behind the mask? She was interested- but left it alone

MUCH to Tims utter relief. __________________________

Yes. Elaboration not needed, though I will say he rarely slips up when hes "in the zone" but relaxed?? You best believe he's suddenly french ________________________________

Actually? Kind of normal for Gotham- I find it wild that growing up in a city with like a 40000% higher than natioal adv crime rate, that you ARENT in some way numb to it all.

Its less common in the elite because well, they have money to stay away from it all. But its not TOO out there- its just that "Huh guess Timothy is one of us more than we thought??- wild" _____________________________

Tim is like me in the sense of "cant-play-games-alone" or else painfully aware of every milisecond ticking by that you arent being "productive" (exception being minecraft)

But game night @ Obis?? You best believe that Alan is a GOD at beat saber, and show him Project Sekai??? Hes going to make it a personal challenge ____________________________

I'm finally watching The Original Series for the first time (after having watched basically every other Star Trek series) and man is this a fun trip!!

I know all the Trek lore from the other series, but amazingly I've managed to avoid the majority of TOS spoilers. And the few spoilers I do know, I have very little context for them.

And so, with that unique perspective, here are my thoughts:

TOS is equally so similar to and so different from the later series.

The lore, the characters, the set up — it's all the same. It's clear that Gene Roddenberry knew from the get-go what he wanted this series to be.

And yet the series is just so 60's. The dramatic music cues, the dramatic zooms, the over-acting in the fight scenes. Even the starship design looks so foreign to me — so angular and square and with so many buttons.

It's entertainingly frustrating to me how ill-equiped Kirk's enterprise is against inside threats. Kirk doesn't have a main head of security, and he rarely uses security on-board at all. The amount of times that people just waltz out of sickbay when McCoy turns his head, how so many antagonists straight up walk onto the bridge, the amount of times characters enter others' rooms without permission??

Kirk is so casual as a captain and I absolutely adore it. Voyager is my favorite Trek specifically because of how they all become a found family throughout their journey. And TOS has that from the get-go! The very first scene we see is Kirk and McCoy joking around on their mission — clearly old friends.

And it's not just his friends McCoy and Spock, but Kirk is rather casual and lax with his entire crew too. I love TNG and I love Picard but I was never a personal fan of how authoritative and professional he liked his ship.

I like seeing all the likely inspiration from these early episodes. There's so many episodes with mischevious god-like aliens, and I just know they had to be inspiration for Q. Especially Trelane, who literally put Kirk on trial like the very first episode of TNG. So many episodes revolve around computers wanting to achieve "perfection", which likely lead to the Borg. Especially Landru which had a speech that sounded a lot like the Borg.

And Kirk and Spock. Man, where to even begin? Obviously I knew people shipped them, but... Wow.

I'm honestly a little shocked that Trek did go more authoritative in later Treks. Kirk and Spock are just so close. Kirk is so handsy. They banter and joke back and forth all the time. It's so far away from the professionalism of any other on-duty starfleet officer in any Trek. And I absolutely love it.

Kirk and Spock start the show already friends. I had no idea this was the case going in, I thought episode 1 was going to be them meeting for the first time as Captain and Second Officer, the first day of their mission — just like all later Treks do. And I got so excited when I realized they were already best friends.

And I love how, despite already being so close, their relationship just evolves from there. For the first half of season 1, I thought they were cute, sure, and they had some moments, but I didn't see the big deal. But by the second half? Oh. Ohh I understand now. I get it.

And I love the consistancy between episodes. The show isn't serialized, it's episodic, and yet if you pay attention, you can catch little references and connections to previous episodes. Kirk mentioning he has a brother at the start of the season, and one of the last episodes is about his brother dying. Kirk learning that "half-breed" bothers Spock early on, and knowing to use it when he needs to get him angry in the last episodes. Just to name two. And I've poked around the fandom and seen you guys mention so many more little callbacks that I had missed.

Later Treks do a good job giving pretty equal screentime to their large casts. But TOS is so heavily focused on the Kirk, Spock, McCoy trio. It's not a bad thing, I love them together, but it just feels weird to me. Similar to the security thing, it also feels so inefficient and dangerous to have the Captain, Second in Command, and Chief Medical Officer on almost every single away-mission.

McCoy is so interesting to me. Later Treks tend to keep their doctors mostly in sickbay. But McCoy is almost constantly on the bridge just hanging out. It feels weird to have the doctor as a main character, but I had always wanted the doctor characters to have more screentime, so I'm definitely not complaining!!

And on a similar note — Spock is blue. He's the only Second in Command of all the Treks that wears blue and not Command colors. I've been so used to seeing barely any blues among the bridge crew, and now TOS has Spock and Bones both in blue and on the bridge near-constantly. I always wanted to see more Science officers in the main cast, so it makes me really happy to see it.

I've only finished Season 1 of 3, but already I have a feeling it's gonna be competing with Voyager for my favorite Trek series.

December Creator of the Month: Oh-So-Youre-a-Nerd

Each month, CFWC highlights one of our talented fanfic writers or artists, and this month’s creator of the month is @oh-so-youre-a-nerd . We're very excited because Ascindio is our very first artist to be highlighted! We hope you will enjoy learning more about them and their work below! The writer is selected at random. More info can be found on the navigation page.

Quick Links:

Tumblr Blog Instagram

How do you want to be known on Tumblr? 

Ascindio 

More below...

1- When did you start playing Choices? What was the first book you played? 

I started playing in 2016, I can't remember if I read Endless Summer or Rules of Engagement first, but I ended up deleting the app after like 2 weeks cause I couldn't stop buying diamonds 😅🤦

I re-downloaded it about, ohh idk 2 years ago?

2- When and why did you join Choices fandom?

I joined the Fandom specifically on Tumblr and specifically for It Lives Within, which happened to come out right after I read the first two books 

3- How did you pick your blog name? 

I always try to seem cool and mysterious when I meet people irl, and then as soon as I open my mouth, I ruin it with some niche trivia or something, and they say,  “Oh, so you're a nerd.” 😂 Can't tell you how many times this exact phrase has been uttered to me. 

4- Pull up the first post in your archive, and tell us about it!  

This is the first Choices related post I made 😂 I was just thinking about the concept of what if characters make terrible decisions cause they're controlled by a player who is out of diamonds lol I was going to do a whole series of them (next was going to be lotr “fly on eagles to mordor?” *30 diamonds* or “simply walk”) but got lazy lol

5- Do you write fanfiction, create fan art, or are you one of those really gifted people who do both? 

Only art. God, I  WISH  I wrote too. I've thought about trying cause I have so many ideas floating around in my head, but at the end of the day, I'd rather spend my free time drawing. 

6- How long have you been creating for Choices and for any other fandoms?

For Choices, since early 2022

For other fandoms, since well, forever, but I only started posting around 2017/18

7- What is your favorite Choices book, and what is your favorite Choices book to create for?

Favorite Choices book is probably It Lives in the Woods. All of the characters were so interesting, I never got bored reading it, and it had an incredible twist that made sense but I still didn't see coming. 

Favorite to create for is probably Blades of Light and Shadow though because I am such a sucker for the fantasy aesthetic.

8- Share your first Choices fanfic or fan art that you posted with us. Do you still like it, or would you change it if you were creating it today?.

This isn't the first Choices art I made, but it IS the first I actually shared

And honestly, I DO still like it because I still remember the way I felt absolutely POSSESSED while drawing it (I hadn't drawn anything for *months*). I would definitely change the background, though. Those trees look like shit, and they're not even the correct type for the kind of forest they're in. 

9- What is your favorite piece of fiction or art that you created? 

My favorite Choices art I've done is probably this piece. 

10- Do you have a fic/art that you didn’t expect to be well received, but it was? What about one you expected to do well but found it could use a little more love?

I definitely didn't expect this one to do well at all as it was so hastily drawn

And I was sad this piece didn't get more love, it was such a dope scene and I was so excited about how the sword turned out

11- If you could only draw one style or type of art for the rest of your life, what would it be and why? 

I'm not sure if I'm interpreting the question right, but if I had to pick like a specific type of art, it would be digital, and I would want to do fan art. I have a hard time painting anything that I don't already have a deep connection with (so original art with no story behind it is usually a chore for me), and digital art is just so incredibly convenient and not messy and so so versatile. 

12 - Do you ever recognize yourself in any of your MCs or in your writing?

Because I use fiction as a way to safely process trauma/ grief/ other big emotions, each MC I make has a small part of me, whichever part I feel the need to explore at the time.

There's an amazing quote by Patrick Rothfuss that I feel explains it perfectly. 

It's from Wise Man's Fear

“These folk knew all about death. They killed their own livestock. They died from fevers, falls, or broken bones gone sour. Death was like an unpleasant neighbor. You didn’t talk about him for fear he might hear you and decide to pay a visit.

Except for stories, of course. Tales of poisoned kings and duels and old wars were fine. They dressed death in foreign clothes and sent him far from your door. A chimney fire or the croup cough were terrifying. But Gibea’s trial or the siege of Enfast, those were different. They were like prayers, like charms muttered late at night when you were walking alone in the dark. Stories were like ha’penny amulets you bought from a peddler, just in case.”

13 - What element of writing/art do you struggle with most?

I have a very difficult time making the poses seem natural and flowing. My all time favorite art is Baroque/Renaissance style and how fluid the poses are, how soft the skin looks, how delicately it's all done. Obviously, I will always have my own style, but those are things that I so want to incorporate but never seem to get quite right, and it drives me crazy 😂

14 - Do you have any neglected work you really want to finish?

Not really. I mean, I have a ton of unfinished work, but as soon as the window of inspiration passes, I just can't get myself to care enough about it to finish it (insert Jake the Dog, “now it's gone, and I don't care about it anymore!” )

15 - If someone you know in real life (who isn’t involved in fandoms) asked to see your work, would you let them? If yes, what would you show them first? 

I would, and have.  I typically show them whatever most rendered recent picture from my Instagram because I don't post any nsfw there and usually try to post only my prettier work for this specific reason haha. (As opposed to here, I post everything here, ain't NO ONE from real life invited to see my tumblr 😂)

16 - Are there any writers (published authors and/or fanfic writers) who influenced your writing or art? Are there any artists that influence you?

Writers: Brandon Sanderson, for sure. He's the reason I got back into art back in 2017 ish. His stories are just so emotional they push me to create. Same with @saibug1022, there is always at least one scene from every story he shares that I desperately want to draw to try to capture the emotions. 

Artists: God, sooo many, here are just like my top 3 favorites and their instagrams.

Audra Auclair

Obsessed with her unique style, and specifically the way she draws eyelids and noses

f3lc4t

The way they draw those dripping, glowing wisps. I stare at their pieces for hours (no lie) trying to dissect them stroke by stroke to figure out how they do it.

Miho Hirano

Their art has a delicate whimsy-ness I would SELL MY SOUL to achieve 

17- Which one of your creations would you like to see a fiction written about? 

JC, this is the shit I DREAM of.

Definitely this one. 

So this is love.

This little comic means a lot to me. 

18- Do you write original fiction or create non-fandom art? 

Very rarely, but I do, every so often. This is my favorite original piece.

20-  What other hobbies do you have?

Gaming, singing, walking through the Cemetary with my wee daughter, reading, that's about it 🤷

21 - What’s your favorite emoji? 

🙇

22: BONUS - tell us anything you’d like (if you want to).

I really wanted to say that I don't believe in “good” art and “bad” art (just ethical vs non-ethical). That being said, I know what it's like to hate your art, like soooo intimately. If you ever are feeling shit about your art, you can ABSOLUTELY message me (I don't care if we're mutuals or not, I don't care if we've never interacted before) and just say, “I am feeling shit about my art” and I will go through your art and tell you every specific thing I love about it and why it's wonderful. I am not joking; I am so so serious rn. 💗💗💗💗

I HAVE BEEN BUSY BUT I AM BACK

so! Mechanical Dreams! Is this set during PLA timeline? (As in the. The beginning) and if so, what are some of the relationships between them and the members of the clans we know? And, of course, does either of them bond with Sneasler? They can’t be wardens obviously but! Seeing as they are a lot more friendly with Pokemon than most…

then there’s also their own relationship. I cannot imagine it’s easy to suddenly have a sibling that is 120 ft tall (at least) and by contrast have a sibling that is depth and blood and tiny and vulnerable coming with you on this incredibly dangerous fights. I’d think they would both become a lot more defensive of the other.

oo now I’m thinking about how they would communicate (post blessing). Would ingo be able to talk? Would that be incredibly loud? Could he like. Ping emmet on a device? Do they have some kind of psychic bond? And on a much more angsty note: does ingo feel pain (this being a feature so he can point emmet where he needs repairs. There is! A lot of him to get hurt!)

and!!! The freaking!! Jobs they have to do. You mentioned in your drawing (very lovely btw loved the expression) that Emmet will put on his clan tunic to feel more like himself and less like the Engineer. Does ingo have anything similar? Is there a space where the two of them can calm down (without the whole “there two guys are blessed by god and have saved us” thing coming up)?

whoops this is particularly long- I really love this au and have more to poke/wonder about but I will. Send in another ask later kdndnsnsbj

oh! Hope you are having a fun holiday season!

HIII HII WELCOME BACK :D hii killing me with hammers anon <3 No worries! I've been busy with holiday stuff myself so no worries at all! Every time I see you in my inbox it makes my day

Mechanical dreams! ohh boy I am so not even slightly normal about mecha au get ready for the storm this will probably unleash

Putting the read more here because this post is going to be Very. Long.

Mechanical Dreams! Is this set during PLA timeline?

Yes! It's set in the past, around the same time as the PLA games are! This AU basically fully diverges from canon events very early on, but the main thing that stays consistent are the characters and the setting! Essentially, what if the giratina fuckery caused Darkest Day part 2 (if you don't know the what the darkest day is it's from Sw/Sh) instead of the time/space distortions

if so, what are some of the relationships between them and the members of the clans we know?

Relationships and characters! Hoo boy there is, a LOT. I don't have a whole lot of super elaborate dynamics just from the number of characters there are to talk about, but a lot of the wardens, prominent jubilife characters, and the various leaders are important and Do have opinions on the shit going on. Irida is... Under a very specific, heightened level of tension. She's the one that has to kind of, has to mediate the sudden, impossibly huge shift in the power dynamics between the major players in Hisui.

Feelings about the twins, broadly, are very complicated. Most of pearl clan were, bare minimum, acquainted with them- if not friends or close friends. Diamond clan, you'd have less who explicitly know them, and similar vein with jubilife. Still, I think they'd at least be noteworthy faces, since they're twins. Easy to recognize.

Ingo is made to be manned by a crew. He's too large to be fully self-sufficient, and Emmet can't handle all the work alone. It takes a lot of trust, but eventually folks from each walk of life become members of his crew. He becomes this sort of unifying force that brings together the people of the region- at first, hesitantly. They have to help, or they don't want to work with eachother, or what have you. Jubilife is the last to agree to work together in a scene that lives vividly in my head.

Irida is ultimately proud of their decision to take on this responsibility, even though it's put her under a lot of pressure as the "leader." Irida would end up a member of the crew Adaman is largely fascinated by the whole thing? But I think is more open to the prospect of it being a blessing from Sinnoh, and therefore more interested in cooperating for the greater good here. Adaman may or may not end up on the crew, it could go either way. You'll have to keep in mind that everyone is experiencing levels of confusion, disbelief, and fear. Calaba is sick of this shit :tm: I think she's just exasperated at this point. This doesn't make a lick of sense to her and she's not going to try. She's going to keep her head down and do her job. It should go without saying that Iscan is freaked the fuck out. I think it takes him a while before he can even be in sight of Ingo without trembling like a leaf. Emmet intimidates him, like this. Palina, I think her feelings are complicated. I feel like she would have known the twins better than other wardens, and the sudden change, I almost wonder if she feels like she's lost them. Like they're different people now- when they really aren't. Palina would end up being a crew member. Lian is, to say the very least, extremely out of his depth here. I think he may have been close to the twins- looking up to how they're able to connect with pokemon. For that reason, I think he would be more willing to extend an olive branch. He reconnects with Emmet faster, but I think he comes to accept Ingo as well, even if he doesn't understand him. Lian is a crew member. Gaeric I will be first to admit I don't know much about. I didn't finish the game (yes you can clown me its been years i have no excuse) so I don't have a strong grasp of his character. From what I've been able to glean, he values power to some extent? I'm not sure how he would feel about the twins being blessed. They weren't particularly physically exceptional before their blessings (they're twinks) but I'm not sure where Gaeric would stand on them since the strength they've been given isn't technically "their own." Jury's out on Gaeric, but I think he would ultimately join the crew. I don't have a lot of opinions about the diamond clan unfortunately, I have not thought a lot about what they'd think. I think there's some extremely mixed feelings. Diamond and Jubilife are broadly very uncomfortable with the upset in the power dynamic, since Ingo and Emmet are both from the pearl can.

Kamado is extremely distrusting of everything surrounding the twins, but struggles to present overt hostility due to the innate power play going on here. He is the number one source of conflict between the Twins earning the trust of Jubilife. Laventon- unfortunately, this is so far above his paygrade. I think after the initial shock and confusion passes and he can hold a proper thought, he would be extremely interested in trying to understand what's happened to Ingo and how he works. He would bridge the gap by trying to speak with Emmet first before ever coming near Ingo personally. They grow close, but I don't know if Laventon is ever a part of the crew itself. He assists through his research on the pokemon in the region and his insights from Galar into the dynamax phenomenon/darkest day. Cyllene. Oh it is hard to figure out what's going on with Cyllene. The most important thing to note is that, not only does she end up a member of the crew, but she ends up being the one in charge of the whole operation. I don't know how we get from point A to point B, but essentially she steps up to fill the void Kamado has foolishly left and repair burnt bridges between Jubilife and the clans- But in particular, the twins. She's responsible, authoritative, precise, controlled, and direct. Cyllene is the Captain, and is virtually the number 1 in command, aside from instances where Emmet's word goes. Don't know how a hypothetical Rei or Akari would fit in here. There is no "PLA protagonist," so I'm not sure what would happen to our trusty foil. For the time being I haven't thought about it, so don't worry about them.

.......Okay that's everything important I can think of? oh. Volo. I fuckin forgot Volo, that's hilarious. Volo, to say the absolute least, is outraged. The events past the initial blessing of the twins include him trying to make this as horrible as possible, lashing out at them for "stealing his chance" to meet Sinnoh.

I think that's everything then. TL;DR: Tensions are high, and so many bridges have been burnt. Ingo got turned into what may as well be an eldritch horror to them, and Emmet has to act like the mouthpiece for both of them for a while. Relationships need to be built back up from square one, and Emmet is forced to do a lot of that heavy lifting himself. It takes a long time for anyone to treat Ingo like a proper person because of how barely they can comprehend his existence like this. Some of them talk about him like he's died, others struggle to see him as a person instead of a Pokemon, and some of those more familiar with budding technological advancements see him more akin to a giant metal ship. It's, hard. and has a lasting psychological affect on both of them.

And, of course, does either of them bond with Sneasler? They can’t be wardens obviously but!

I don't know about their relationship with sneasler. I think one of the twin's parents- father? -was sneasler's warden, and one of the twins would have been trained to be her warden, but then... All that. There's a good chance they know customs, but I don't think they would have gotten super close. I think she is familiar and friendly with them, but, the blessing changes everything.

Seeing as they are a lot more friendly with Pokemon than most…

They ARE a lot more friendly than most, with pokemon... And unfortunately, it comes back to bite them, emotionally.

As a result of Ingo's transformation, pokemon will not come near him. He has a certain amount of this, aura of intimidation. With the state of wild pokemon in the time period of PLA, virtually all pokemon avoid Ingo like the plague. He's impossibly big and overwhelmingly dangerous. It doesn't matter how friendly or gentle he presents himself as, pokemon are scared of him. Emmet goes where Ingo goes. He is rarely anywhere but beside him, except in the case of running errands or trying to act as a middle man. He is the only one of the two who can try to take care of/acclimate their pokemon teams to him, but it doesn't, go, great. Emmet, broadly, has to stop training pokemon past a point. It just, doesn't work out, and he cares more about prioritizing his brother.

In the future, after, a lot of this shit, this eventually changes. But not in the time of PLA and Hisui.

then there’s also their own relationship. I cannot imagine it’s easy to suddenly have a sibling that is 120 ft tall (at least) and by contrast have a sibling that is depth and blood and tiny and vulnerable coming with you on this incredibly dangerous fights. I’d think they would both become a lot more defensive of the other.

Haaaa fuck. Their relationship is... so complicated. There are so many layers and facets to it that I don't know if I can break it all down coherently right now. But, no, it's not easy for Emmet's twin to suddenly be an untouchable mountain of metal and electricity, and it's not easy for Ingo's twin to suddenly be an ant-sized speck so small and breakable to him. They've lost virtually all forms of physical contact that they ever had, and need to relearn from scratch how to find new ways to show and receive affection/care. To say that they both become more defensive is quite possibly the understatement of all time, but more than anything, they're at least glad that they have the tools to protect eachother.

How can I summarize it... Ingo is scared of himself to an extent, because he doesn't want to hurt Emmet. Emmet is under a lot of pressure, because it's virtually all on him to ensure that Ingo stays healthy and happy. The technology he's made of essentially doesn't exist in their era, so Emmet is the only person who understands it all well enough to fix anything that might get broken. It's tense, it's hard. They're under a lot of pressure, and they're trying so hard just to make sure that nothing cracks. They care about eachother SO MUCH, which is their greatest strength! But it's also the thing that causes them the most pain.

oo now I’m thinking about how they would communicate (post blessing). Would ingo be able to talk? Would that be incredibly loud? Could he like. Ping emmet on a device? Do they have some kind of psychic bond?

Several of these! Ingo can speak, but as you noted he is loud. He discovers this very fast! And, essentially, chooses to virtually never speak in favor of other modes of communication. He can speak, but he chooses not to. His alternative, most frequent option is using the many many computer terminals onboard to send text messages. He can ping Emmet using this exact thing, so you're on the right track there, but he can also relay communication between people onboard and otherwise use it to speak with anyone else who can see a screen.

They don't have a psychic bond per say, but there are other connections between them. Emmet does get different kinds of reactions from types of signals/warnings on Ingo's system, mainly in the form of like, what essentially constitutes as an adrenaline rush. If Ingo is hurt or in danger, Emmet gets sent a burst of energy like a motivator to go and solve the problem. I don't know if either of them actually know consciously that this happens, or if they do, they don't figure it out until later.

And on a much more angsty note: does ingo feel pain (this being a feature so he can point emmet where he needs repairs. There is! A lot of him to get hurt!)

I suppose this question qualifies as "angsty" but it really is a reasonable assertion. Yes, as I implied a couple times already, Ingo does feel pain. It's worth noting that it takes a lot more for him to actually feel any kind of pain or otherwise sustain an injury, but that's likely a given. If some of his plating gets scuffed or dented, he probably won't even notice. Same thing for a small breach or tear. Something needs to hit him, hard, to actually make him feel something. Large wound, deep laceration, intense blunt-force trauma. It's going to take more than a couple scratches to make the 120'-400' mech buckle, but it's going to take a lot more than a wound to keep him down, too.

and!!! The freaking!! Jobs they have to do.

Almost all repairs are post-battle, although there are some things that can be addressed mid-fight on occasion. Most of the job of the crew is to maintain him, get him fuel, and otherwise set him up to do his job. He's already larger than most all Dynamax pokemon by Several Hundred Feet, but he needs the support of others to set him up before he can charge forward.

Like those little pull-back toy cars.

Another important thing is helping him coordinate himself. Everyone tasked to help essentially assistant-pilot him, scout information, and read the state of battle helps him outsource a lot of the heat-of-the-moment stress into something more manageable. He doesn't feel comfortable or familiar with his own body after taking on this form, so especially for the first few battles, having someone else like. Co-pilot on the controls to help him move and fight is really necessary. Emmet handles it until aforementioned other crew comes along, such as Cyllene and Irida.

You mentioned in your drawing (very lovely btw loved the expression) that Emmet will put on his clan tunic to feel more like himself and less like the Engineer. Does ingo have anything similar? Is there a space where the two of them can calm down (without the whole “there two guys are blessed by god and have saved us” thing coming up)?

His options are, unfortunately, very limited. He's too large to hide almost anywhere, and most "safe" places are those near inhabited places, which also aren't ""safe"" for him to unwind/be around/(many people also are either wary, hostile, or scared of him at first).

The icelands is close to home, which is definitely the "safest" place, but as you mentioned it comes with a lot of emotional + mental baggage. He also doesn't like the cold, especially now being made of metal. Hard to warm back up.

When searching for respite, I think the twins go back to where they were first blessed near the temple of Sinnoh. The mountains can help shield Ingo from distrustful gazes and otherwise give him what is virtually the only privacy available to him. But, there's also an outcropping near the temple where Emmet and Ingo first sorted things out post-blessing, before returning to pearl clan, and that spot holds a significance to them. If Ingo was going to "hide" anywhere, it would be there.

unfortunately, there is virtually no normalcy for Ingo after receiving his blessing. The closest he gets to respite is replaying old memory files from before that day, which feel so close to when he first experienced them that it serves as a comfort sometimes.

whoops this is particularly long-

You're speakin to the fuckin king of rambles. Welcome to the castle (wheeze)

To say the absolute least. I have a lot of thoughts about them. This story is. so hard to tell. because almost all of it is exclusively in my head and it is SO complicated. There are so many problems and struggles and complications, and man. I love it.

Thank you for your super thoughtful ask <3 I love talking about mecha AU. I've been writing this for. dear god. a number of hours that should probably not be as big as it is. I LOOOOVE the mecha au. I've spent months hyperfixating on it in the past. I have so much yet it's hard to elaborate without prompting because of ^^^^ all the above complexities- It's hard to pin down what I should talk about.

Thanks for the ask as always! It means everything to me! Happy holidays/new year!

Mecha AU Masterlist

[hiemaldesirae]

Swap AU:

Val wasn't too slow, he didn't come at all to Vox's distress call. He thought Vox could handle it. He spends the first 4 years as Alastor's thrall dead, as do most of the soul that Val owns. (Angel included.) Killing Valentino and the souls he owns gets old, however and sinners are getting tired of the same old pornos, so Valentino gets to go back to work, but thanks to their multiple horrible deaths, Valentino and his contracted souls are alot closer. They even have a discord server dedicated to bitching about Alastor. Now that Vox is back, they've added a sever dedicated to getting pictures of Vox for Valentino so they all don't die horrible deaths--and also, Valentino rewards everyone with every new picture with a raise of 50 dollars, so it's nice incentive.

Alastor on the other hand beside killing Valentino and his contracted souls for the first 4 years, made a shrine with Vox's heads--except for the very first one. That one he slept with. That one remain's in his (formerly Vox's) bed everyday, waiting for Alastor's return everynight so he can curl around it and murmur the words he never got to say to his beloved Vox one last time.

When Vox returns, Sir Pentious joins the hotel because Vox has always been his favorite of his favorite of the Vees, and if he's joined another Overlord and started something else, the Sir Pentious will try it out!

Angel Dust is there because he doesn't want to go through the absolute HELL the first 4 years under Alastor was, he wants no repeats. No one Valentino included DOES!

Husker actually loves working with Vox, and loves sending smirks at the very pissed off shadow Alastor (not knowing Alastor is watching from the Shadow's eyes.) and the side hugs, the cuddles, Yeah, they might piss off the Shadow and Alastor even even more but he deserves it--Vox still has nightmares about his near death.

OHH okay okay i see. that clarification. Actually made things 1000x worse for me actually im gonna throw up. this val trusting in voxs abilities to the point where it made him lose one of his best friends for years vs show val jumping to vox the moment that it became clear the other couldnt hold his own..... so sickening what the hell. the guilt that val must feel in specific for voxs disappearance and presumed death- honestly hes probably glad for dying so much those first four years because it took his mind off the fact that it was HIS fault all this happened to vox and him and vel. i just want an oddly tear filled reunion scene with the two vees where vox is like "i thought you guys just didnt think i was important enough to come help" and voxvel start actually bawling bc theyve missed him so much and theyre so glad he's back and *safe*. also the discord server inclusion is hilarious as hell thank you for that mental image nonny

oh my GODD thats actually so sweet im gonna be sick. i just know those former heads are kept clean and swept everyday both by niffty and alastor himself, and the one in his bed is probably propped up by all the most comfortable pillows while alastor himself just goes without a pillow.... WHAT WORDS. what FUCKING words if it was i love you ill actually just implode on the spot nonny ill get raptured and itll be all your fault /lh

+ pentious finally gets an audience with his idol! aww this is so sweet im gonna get cavities. hopefully he doesnt get hit with the kys this time but oh well if he does cause i support my wife committing crimes

Also. Vox having nightmares about the time he nearly died.... do you think that he has like ptsd flashbacks or something everytime he sees a radio. im gonna be SICK fuck oh my god. do tou think ohe day he just . meets al again and immediately tries to run away or something while the other hotel members go to his defense because they know the shit hes been dealing with from al....

p.s. nonny are you planning on turning this into a fic or something anytime soon? because if not.... can i write one based off these ideas 🥹

stephanie brown NOV 2023 fic awards

this is part of a new experimental thing I'm doing, where I will comb through every fic posted/updated in a character tag for a specific month and find my favorites! I hope this will encourage people to read and comment on new and active fics with less-focused-on characters.

&&

Road to Recovery, by Solemini. 19.8k, T, gen, 6/6. summary: cass leaves steph the batgirl suit, and everything changes. a complete rewrite of batgirl 2009. my notes: god. this steph is angry. and she deserves to be-- she hates the world for not treating her right, she resents her upbringing. this is our angry robin. but it is, despite that, a tale of joy and love. basically, it's a gorgeous retelling of batgirl 2009.

-> Fluff & Humor <-

[angelmichelangelo]

I read your answer about 07 Mikey and it also kinda gives the vibes of Bayverse Mikey, specifically the version of him from the second movie. His main thing is that he wants to be out in the world and meeting new people, and he actually cries when the police turn on them and call them monsters. Im genuinely so obsessed with that scene.

I'm kinda new to the fandom and as I understand the bayverse movies are so-so in most people's opinion. But those were my initial entry point into the franchise back in like 2015/2017, so they do hold a special place in my experience.

For the actual ask: thoughts on Bayverse Mikey?

OHH OHHHH BAYVERSE MIKEY!! i do actually very much like those movies. like yourself, a big part of it is just nostalgia because i got into tmnt like as they were coming out but. they aren’t like the WORST movies ever. they have their flaws and there’s definitely a lot of things i do not like about them but.. im one of the few that will hype this movie up so. thank you for enabling me.

off the bat i wanna say everything about bayverse mikey is special to me. completely ignoring and erasing the whole. awkward weird april crush he had going on. bayverse mikey is actually so enjoyable. he’s funny he’s just Typical little brother but oh my god is he so sad :( again he’s just the perfect culmination of that whole “sociable extrovert forced to be introvert” type that most of his iterations are but this one.. this version just hits different.

one of my favourite plot points ever is that when it’s revealed that there is a very real chance that they could become human and live normal lives, the first thing leo does upon discovering this is make it VERY clear that mikey is not to find out. of course, it takes all but 10 seconds for him to find out because raph has overhears and gets SUPER offended on his brothers behalf (again. something they do SO WELL is the mikey and raph duo in this movie vs leo and a begrudging donnie, something not often done!) and of course, mikey is just so conflicted the entire movie and it’s wonderful.

he’s so tortured in that sequel. he’s SO desperate for a normal life. he has the chance, right there and leo basically snatches it out of his grasp and he kinda just rolls with it because it’s his brothers or nothing at the end of the day, and that’s SO SAD!! but going back to the whole point of leo being up in donnie’s grill like “yeah ok whatever there’s a retromutgen keep that under wraps, mikey is to NOT find out about this” just proves that each of his brothers understand how much their brother is hurting for a life of normality. i think i made a list once regarding which turtles would be most likely to want to be human/live amongst the humans and mikey almost always came up on top.

he’s always the “cool party fun dude” which is often code for comic relief character but when you look into it. these are characters that are forced into a hard, cruel life away from society. characters that for a good 15ish years, only know each other and their father. imagine mikey spending all that time, desperate for normality and for friends… like yeah he has his bros but he knows there’s more out there in the world and he wants it so much more than the others do.. and that’s why leo gets hot on donnie about keeping the retromutagen a secret. he knows what mikey will be thinking. he’s watched him play it out a million times over as kids, and leo is just so afraid that in giving him a choice, he’ll lose his brother because of it…

and when mikey does get to experience the world for the first time, he’s called a monster and almost killed. leo warned him of it and yet he still had faith that he had a place in the world only to be proven wrong almost instantly.. that’s so devastating. i remember sobbing in the theatres during that scene and i still do shed a tear when i rewatch because damn!!! mikey being sad is so gutwrenching:(((

but yes. i don’t think we ever talk about bayverse mikey and all his trauma enough simply because those movies get a somewhat bad rep. again, im not claiming them to be perfect movies. sadly all of those points i just mentioned kinda fall flat when you remember the, ahem, shell tightening comment he made… but i digress. he’s a sad little turtle that deserves more love than he’s given. and i shall love him :P

[iwanttofuckereh69]

now reading 2ha vol2

ch 46 - 55

(sorry its a bit long, i wanted to be... coherent... this time lol)

btw tell me how much suffering i should expect from vol 2. on the scale from papercut to getting my heart ripped out 😭

Ok so… That lake thing was wild. Or so i thought, before Chu Wanning TURNED INTO A FUCKING KID. Like what the hell? He is either adorable or absurdly scary, no in between. I'm loving this so far.

I looked at that illustration in the book when I first got it  and I was more than confused because I couldn’t tell who was who. And for a moment I legit was like Is Chu Wanning a child? But then I was like NAAAAH CAN’T BE. Welp. Here we are :)))))) 

1. TL;DR: Chu Wanning is a horny lonely loser (affectionate)

Chu Wanning and his dreams. I have a hunch it's somehow a glimpse into their previous life. No idea how it would occur but that scene seems like something that might have happened?

It seems rather interesting to me that THIS would be Chu Wanning's fantasy. I couldn’t help but wonder if it isn’t because that’s the only way he would allow himself the pleasure. Because ultimately he doesn’t get to have a choice in that scenario. It takes away the guilt of lusting over his disciple. So maybe that’s where it came from. And, moreover, this is Mo Ran who wants CWN. Wants him so badly he can’t contain himself. I just found it really interesting that of all scenarios, CWN dreams of that one. I don’t know why I kept thinking about it but here we are ig lol

Also, Mo Ran destroyed his golden core in his past life? Did I miss that in vol 1? Because ohh :c. Or it wasn't Mo Ran???  

2. TL;DR: I’m gonna get hurt so so so bad

Mo Ran smiled. “Yep. Cause I’m closest with you, and I know you’d never lie to me.” Shi Mei was still hesitant. “That’s true, but…”

Welp. Based on community’s reactions that’s gonna hurt like motherfucker. I fucking know that line is there for a reason. I fucking know it. The reason is to break my heart. And isn’t it like a second time Shi Mei says something about not lying to Mo Ran? I WONDER WHY. (i might have remembered it wrong tbh but this part is there and is tormenting me)

3. TL;DR: Mo Ran’s emotional intelligence is at most equal to emotional intelligence of a lettuce (one that’s been sitting in the back of your fridge for weeks because you forgot about it); Also, Shi Mei is sweet and kind and i don’t believe any of you anymore. He can’t hurt a soul. 

Mo Ran is very adamant on hating Chu Wanning. He wants to hate him. He needs to hate him. As if he was scared of the feelings that might be left if he does not hate him. That part is specifically in relation to his conversation with Shi Mei and how uncomfortable he’s gotten when Shi Mei started going on and on about how Chu Wanning isn’t really all that bad. 

And then that part with the umbrella happened and I really wish it was from Mo Ran’s perspective, because for the love of god I have no idea what his intentions are. It seemed like a really bad and failed flirting attempt. Like me when I asked this guy that was in a band in school to tune my guitar but it was in fact in tune and it was just embarrassing tbh But it could be just him trying to be nice for whatever reason  and CWN overreacting because he is strong and independent and he doesn't need (no man) anyone. 

I’m really puzzled at Mo Ran tho. And, like, that’s not a bad thing. There is this part of him that hates Chu Wanning with every fiber in his body. But he also admires him deeply as a teacher and maaaybe tiny bit as a person. There is both disdain and interest. Hatred and kindness. His whole (other) life it seems like he had this image of Chu Wanning that was coldblooded and ruthless. And i feel like it’s shattering now that he starts to notice how it wasn’t really the case. But still it’s hard for him to put those two pieces together so he really tries to choose one. It’s really telling when he can’t answer Shi Mei’s question ab if he dislikes Shizun.

ALSO SHI MEI IS SO SWEET AND KIND I DONT BELIEVE ANY OF YOU. HE CANT BE EVIL. He can't be evil... He can't...

4. I’m just wondering why the thing that happened at the lake (i don’t remember how it’s spelled so it’s going to be THE LAKE) was so different to how it went the first time MR was there. Basically the one major change he’s purposefully made was that he stole money from Rong Jiu and didn’t fall for his trap. Could it be somehow connected? Because otherwise the events should be the same unless something was changed. And the only thing i can think of right now that he influenced in major way, is that whole deal with Rong Jiu. The ghost marriage "arc" ended more or less the same, didn't it? I might be mixing shit up but oh well.

Also, I saw a post the other day in which op was talking how Mo Ran’s love for Chu Wanning was clear to them from the very beginning. Op said they don’t understand how others might not get it and since i’m the one that wasn’t that keen on the idea at first, i decided to elaborate a bit on points i made after first 20 chapters or so, this time trying not to be as much of a clown (hopefully).

Well, I’ve seen the title of the book and I know they're gonna end up together one way or another. But its complicated and messy and I would even go as far as to say that’s the point? And, ironically it's also in the title. A dog and a cat. At first glance they are so different it seems almost impossible for them to get along. At first glance Chu Wanning and Mo Ran felt too different to be able to get along as well. There was too much resentment and too much things left unsaid (and unnoticed). After reading only first 20 chapters i was told that 1. Chu Wanning is ruthless and cruel 2. Mo Ran hates him. 3. Mo Ran is horny for him. Only with time as I was reading further, it turned out that they both care for each other in ways they themselves have a hard time explaining. 

I also don’t think sexual attraction equals everlasting love. And like, the fact that Mo Ran doesn’t get hard at the sight of Shi Mei isn’t telling me anything about his feelings. Does he really love him too much to have a single impure thought about him? Or does he not realize he doesn’t like him that way? Does he love him platonically? I don’t know. I’m for sure lacking context in this situation. That’s the point. I want to read it with my mouth open agape as I get to know those characters more and as slowly my first impression changes. Right now, based on what i’ve been presented by the book I adore Mo Ran’s puppy love for Shi Mei. But as i’m on chapter 50, I see it as just that, a puppy love.  

I don’t want to argue who to ship, because that’s not the point im trying to make xD I just think my hesitation to picture CWN and MR together after first 20 chapters was not that weird. I know it will happen and i’m curious to see how long it will take those idiots to realize their feelings for eachother and express them. I know they are meant to be. But they themselves don’t know that yet. And it feels like they try their best to ruin every chance they get lol I’m also curious where those feelings come from. Why Mo Ran became so obsessed with CWN.

There is foreshadowing, there are those little and not so little things scattered across that slowly become more meaningful the more context you add on top of them. But those alone, in my opinion aren’t enough to be convinced with utmost certainty from page one that the main characters are in fact in love. It’s more complicated than that and that’s why I enjoy it a lot and i enjoy when the books makes me believe one thing to then make me realize it wasn't ever that simple. Am I making sense? Idk it's 1AM i want to go to sleep njkinrjgkn

Masterlist

His Devotee Lover

"I am time, today I'll narrate the story of the devotee sorcerer and her beloved Gojo Satoru…I have seen everyone from her gift to her relationship with her friends…Her honesty and devotion…I have seen through it all…every incident unfolds before me. I am Gojo as well as Geto. I am the Shibuya battlefield…This story will last till I'm am and I…I am eternal…endless…"

You were a devoted devotee of Lord Vishnu from the beginning, worshiping him wholeheartedly. Your unwavering devotion brought happiness to Lord Vishnu, who granted you a divine boon—a mighty bow. With this divine gift, you embarked on a righteous path, using the bow to protect, uphold justice, and fulfill your spiritual journey. Grateful for Lord Vishnu's blessings, you vowed to serve him faithfully and follow his guidance with the utmost loyalty.

You joined Jujutsu Tech to protect people from curses and perform exorcisms for the greater good. Your classmates included Gojo, the strongest sorcerer; Geto, a curse user; and Shoko, a remarkable healer. You underwent training together, faced potent curses, and created deep bonds while executing your objective to ensure the well-being of humanity.

You and Satoru were close from the beginning of the year in your class.

Gojo Satoru entered your dorm room early in the morning, following the sound of jingling bells. He discovered you engaged in a serene pooja, offering prayers before a grand statue of Lord Vishnu. Captivated by the scene, Gojo silently admired your devotion, recognizing the power of faith and spirituality.

You turned around after finishing "Oh, I didn't realize you were here, Satoru-kun" You smiled calmly.

God, it was something about your smile. It was just so calming that it never failed to cause havoc in his stomach

"Here, have some" You gave him the Prashad, at this point he was pretty used to this.

"Thanks, Stuti"

Your technique enamored Gojo Satoru, falling even more for you. Your playful smile carried a sense of determination, adding to your allure. The elegance and divine grace with which you exorcised the curse left him in awe. Using your bow with a calm smile, you displayed a unique blend of strength and serenity.

When you'd play with the animals in the school, he would always sneak up on you to see your graceful smile.

You played the flute under a tree, surrounded by cats and dogs. Suddenly, someone poked your shoulder, and as you turned, you discovered Gojo hiding behind the tree. It became a playful game between you two. "Oh, look who it is, my dear Satoru-kun," you chuckled as he joined you, sitting beside you.

You two could talk for hours and never get bored with each other.

You always listened to his rambling and always showed an interest in his talks. It touched his heart how much you cared for everyone. Specifically for him, Geto, and Shoko.

Even though he was not a fan of mythology but he found it so fascinating when you told him stories of Lord Krishna, Lord Ram, and so on at night.

He loved it when you always tried out new sweets with him.

As Geto was preparing to leave, he decided to visit your dormitory. Upon entering, he noticed you diligently mending and sharpening your arrows. Intrigued, he approached you, causing you to look up from your task.

"Oh, Geto-kun, when did you arrive? I didn't even notice," you chuckled, pleasantly surprised by his presence. Putting aside your work, you offered to get him a glass of water as a gesture of hospitality.

"Don't worry about it. I just wanted to meet you," Geto responded, declining your offer and emphasizing his genuine intention.

Curiosity sparked within you as you realized the significance of his visit. "I see. Is there anything I can help you with?" you asked, attentively listening to his words?

Geto took a moment, contemplating the appropriate time to ask his request. Sensing the opportune moment, he paused and proceeded, "I was wondering if now would be the right time to make these two wishes."

Recalling the previous discussion about granting wishes, you nodded, acknowledging his intent. "Oh, yes, do you want to ask them now?"

With a determined gaze, Geto revealed his first wish, his voice unwavering. "My first wish is that you would always forgive me and anyone who works for me until they have committed 10,000 crimes. However, if the crimes are similar, they won't count."

His request struck a chord within you, causing your eyes to widen. A warm smile spread across your face as you responded, "Alright, and the second?"

Without hesitation, Geto proceeded with his second wish, his resolve unyielding. "The second wish is that you won't fight against me or anyone who works for me until those crimes are complete."

The weight of his wishes did not go unnoticed, yet you remained steadfast in your principles. Understanding the gravity of your promises, you replied, "Well, since you've asked them now, I promise that until the end of time, I will follow your two wishes."

Geto, aware of your unwavering determination and commitment to honoring your promises, recognized the advantage this granted him. He noted your pledge before departing from Jujutsu Tech, knowing that you would uphold your word.

Gojo Satoru, saddened by his friend's departure, couldn't sleep that night. The sound of a soft flute outside caught his attention. He found you playing the flute under the moonlight, offering solace and connection. This encounter became a source of strength, guiding him forward.

That night he just laid on your lap hearing your peaceful voice and flute lulling him to sleep.

When Gojo was going for the fight (the one where ijichi calls him in JJK 0), he came to your as he found you sleeping soundly. The sound of the door woke you up, "Are, Satoru-kun when did you get here? Is there something I can help you with?"

He just smiled and replied, "Just wanted to know if you were free"

"Well for you I always am so what is it?"

Gojo Satoru, seeking guidance and trust, approached you and asked you to be his charioteer. He expressed his desire for someone he could rely on to keep him grounded and prevent him from losing his way.

"But Satoru-kun, Mind that in this battle I won't pick any sort of weapons or use any techniques. It'll be all on you" She sternly said

Top 5 nightwing v2 moments and top 5 foods

ohh my godd nightwing 96 my beloved. truly some of the most INSANE character arcs and dialogues of all time. i still cant pick!

okay so i dont really remember which issues are V2 so if some of these are wrong just use your imagination, my fav moments from nightwing v2 in no specific order::

dick expressing his love and pride for tim. goshh that scene really was everything. dick watching and admiring tim just like people used to admire dick, feeling confident in his little brother and how much he's learning and how he's oh so better than him.

"God, I love that kid. I love him too much to let him see me like this."

especially with what comes after! tim actually taking the time to come to dick and ask him how he felt about the adoption. tim tells dick that bruce still needs him, needs to believe that dick is on his side, and by extension tim needs dick too. and dick's response! his justified anger bc he's in such a bad place rn and he does not wanna here about bruce's fake promises, especially coming from tim.

"Remember how I once told you that Batman needed a Robin? Well that's still true.

But even more than that, he... he needs you. You know, not like every second or whatever, but at the end of the day he needs to know that you're still on his side. It's...important."

and what does dick say?

YOU--! --You have no idea how much of my life I've wasted believing that was true.

2. the whole evil mob arc like "ooh look at me im so bad and evil and everything i touch rots" like babe aint nobody believing that except youu. quoting del's post (im pretty sure) dick grayson you look for your father's love in the most fucked up places <3

"You take as long as you need son, and when you're ready to come home just show up day or night."

3. the scene where roy comes to check up on dick?? hello??

"Nightwing? That you, man? Good to see you fighting the good fight bro!"

"Roy..."

"Ive been hearing all these crazy rumors that you've gone over to the dark side."

AND THEN- THE PUNCH. OUGH.

he is trying to keep roy away, if he keeps him at arm's length, makes sure he doesn't come back, then he won't get hurt. this is dick's mess and dick needs to fix it. classic deflection trick from the bat-book. he also doesn't want roy to see him like this. dick envies roy's sense of self...his ability to stay even when things get tough.

roy's abandonment issues vs dick's active detachment fight

4. the blockbuster monolgue scene... truly one of the best nightwing villains. feeding into dick's guilt complex... u can never go back and the way forward is washed with the consequences of your sins. it's an understatement when i say i lost my MIND reading this.

here's a link to the transcript of the post comparing grayson's dialogue vs taylor's reboot version

5. when dick goes to meet helena and she tells him

"Even if I wanted to, I couldn't pry them away from you with a crowbar."

referring to rose and sophia when dick asks helena to care for them--bc he trusts HER.

like.. deep down u know she is right. my girl was not taking his shit today. so much can be said about their relationship and about dick from this one scene but i'm afraid i don't have the words to say it. but i could link some great dickhelena metas here and here.

bonus: literally all the scenes with sophia and rose in them. i really disliked how they left that knot untied, there was so much potential there... so much love and discovery. never getting over them and their messed up little family of have beens and could bes..

as for my favorite foods.. that's a toughie. im a really picky eater so those vids you see on social media about going to restaurants and ordering chicken nuggets is exactly me. buttt here's a fragment of an answer::

i lovee my mom's homemade food. mama's cooking is always the best and whenever i venture anywhere away from home it's literally all i can think about. also i know all the love she puts into each and every fresh meal and there never passed a day she let me leave home on an empty stomach <3

the loml kfc fried chicken. look i LOVE chicken of all types- butter chicken, fried chicken, chicken kebab. but kfc chicken as my friday takeout meal has always been a staple in my life.

ALSO CHICKEN RENDANG MMM. THEY WERE REALLY COOKING WHEN THEY MADE THAT.

aloo paratha with butter. you can keep your pancakes and ur waffles there's nothing i'd rather have for breakfast than a yummy aloo paratha and i KNOW im not the only one.

hii! wishing you a lovely day and also so so curious how you’ve been enjoying vinland saga? who are your favourite characters and moments? 🩷

baby hi ^^ i had started vinland saga a few years ago but i dropped it after the second season because, hm, i feel like the anime made such an abrupt change, i thought i wanted to see more of the war and thorfinn's fight and revenge and in this s2 i meet a totally different thorfinn. someone passive, submissive, quiet.

I guess back then I didn't have the maturity or state of mind to appreciate season 2, but now I think I have only five episodes left and I can't express how much the quietness of this season has touched my soul.

as for favorite characters, only askeladd and thorfinn. others that i like a lot are snake and canute, although they are not favorites. and about my favorite scenes… god. i don't feel it's a specific scene but certain key moments in the anime where thorfinn realizes he has no enemies. for example one scene i really loved is when those idiots destroy his wheat crop, and he and einar fight them and thorfinn ends up unconscious and dreaming of his father; the dialogue, the scene, thorfinn's guilt, the regret of his deeds, the cause of everything he's done now biting at his heels, it's beautiful as explained in the series, along with the message that violence is the last option

another favorite moment is when thorfinn calls himself "empty" for no longer feeling vengeance and not knowing what to fill himself with now that he no longer feels anything.

thorfinn saying he wants to have a world without slavery is so important to me too, these are key moments for the peak of his evolution as a character to me

ohh! askeladd dying in his arms is so important to his character development too, what a scene omg.

🧸 ⇢ what's the fastest way to become your mutual?

Ohh there's very little logic to who I follow back honestly, it depends more on what I'm doing when I open the notification than anything else. I'll nearly always follow back unless I miss the notification or the person obviously hates one of my ships, or posts only stuff I don't recognise. So I think the answer is. . . follow me. . . then if I don't follow you back, there's probably no reason for that so spam me with notifications or just ask and I'll follow back lol. Obviously I'm Hotchniss trash and Emily trash in general.

🐝 ⇢ tag your biggest supporter(s) and say one nice thing about them

Forever faves @heartbash and @pictureofsoph1sticatedgrace and @justwanted2dance, who made me feel welcome when I made my first jump back into writing, and who don't even go here but continue putting up with my nonsense anyway. I love you guys.

@sayornissaya who wants to dissect characters and what-ifs in the exact same depth I do and wrote super thoughtful comments on my fic that made my entire week and will likely continue providing serotonin boosts for years to come if my past behaviour is anything to judge by.

@roseekara who wants to talk in ask form.

@archersmidnight who reblogs my fic with commentary in the tags, and is therefore a personal hero.

And then I suspect the kind anon might usually be the same kind anon? I appreciate the support of the kind anon a whole lot. There are also ao3 usernames I recognise as always commenting but they either have different usernames on tumblr or they're not here or they're always anonymous. . .

God I'm definitely forgetting people I really should be tagging, these things make me so anxious.

🧩 ⇢ what will make you click away from a fanfiction immediately?

Paragraph-less wall of text.

No new paragraphs for new speaker - I just find this suuuper hard to follow.

Characterisation that feels too off to me. Honestly, too much swearing for some reason? (I swear all the time irl, and there will be some amount of somebody saying 'fuck' in every sex scene I write probably, but I find it really distracting when characters are very sweary in the sort of situation we see them not-sweary in canon.)

And then things that are like. . . trigger-y for me, which are just specific things that happen in smut that are very Not For Me and I need to nope out for my sanity.

I forgot to ask. 14, 63, 49, 50, 43, 38.

Oh gosh let's see...

14) favorite "controversial" horror film

Maniac. Yes yes, it's horribly violent and grimy and it makes you feel like you want to have a shower once it's done, that's the point and it makes it extremely well, but also it has a super incredible Tom Savini head explosion, and I'm such a slut for that. Kinda like Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer without any wildly inaccurate "true story" claims, so it gets to go way way over the top with it!

63) favorite 70s horror film

Deep Red! It's a murder mystery, it's inexplicably supernatural, it's having an interesting conversation about gender with itself, it's full of creative kills and bright strawberry red fake blood, it's legitimately creepy, it's brilliantly shot... I could go on, I love that movie.

49) favorite horror film score/soundtrack

Candyman. That score gives me chills, and I think it perfectly highlights the dark romantic themes of the movie. Philip Glass really looked at this script and said "Ohh I get it, he's a Dracula" and he was SO RIGHT. Second place definitely goes to Suspiria though, that one also has an incredible score, and I will occasionally just sit and listen to it.

50) favorite horror film that takes place during your favorite season/time of year/holiday

Ginger Snaps! I don't know how it isn't more acknowledged as a halloween movie, that's the whole reason she gets away with being a wolf at the end! The climax happens at a halloween party! Also, unrelated, this movie has one of my favorite Horror Movie Moms I've ever seen, I think she's so funny and she steals every scene she's in.

43) favorite black and white horror film

Ok, I'm torn here between The Invisible Man, and The Bad Seed. On the one hand, The Invisible Man is a pre-code technical marvel with groundbreaking hand-done painstaking effects that still hold up to this day, and it's high-camp and hilarious. Jack Griffon is a chaotic bastardous gremlin of a man and I love him so much. On the other hand, The Bad Seed is a very fun example of an early stage-to-film adaptation in a post-code era that, upon conforming to film standards of the time, becomes even more high-camp and hilarious than the original production. Rhoda Penmark is a manipulative conniving murderous genius nine-year-old and I love her so much. Also. Oh my god. If you haven't seen The Bad Seed. The hays code dictated that you had to kill your villain in the end, no matter what, and you will never in a million years guess how they do it here.

38) favorite horror film that you physically own

Phone. It's a Korean film from 2002 and it freaks me oooooooout!! It's about a journalist who has to go into hiding after she writes a reputation-ruining piece about a sex scandal, and the guy involved starts sending threatening phonecalls. And she just. happens to hide out in the worst possible place for this. I saw it on xfinity's horror channel way back in the day, and once I started growing my dvd collection as an adult, I sought it out specifically.

Thanks so much for the ask! This was fun!
