#tricked & traped

[deathmetalunicorn1]

could i get a jack the ripper x male reader who is harry Houdini?((y/n knows jack isn't the real ripper))y/n/Houdini is the opposite of jack being very hyper & excited about anything & loves showing his tricks to jack who would sometimes almost have a heart attack about his extreme escape act, especially his Milk Can Escape acts oh the dried he felt.....but like in Valhalla they met & soon became a lovey dovey couple living there life in peace,until Ragnarok came..y/n would watch jacks fight with worry but in the end had happy tears seeing jack win..but was displeased seeing humanity in the end still hating him even after risking his life so they have a better chance in surviving!harry/y/n would stay by jack's side as he gets patched up,& y/n quickly became bestfriends with hlökk,

((y/n seemed to also be friends with a curtain horror writer...*cough* hp Lovecraft *cough*))

while this was happening Brunhilde found out the gods was planing to have a surprise round to throw her off but thankfully she found out before they could surprise her, when Brunhilde found out that the god picked would be a god of tricks & illusions[not loki] she immediately knew who to go...y/n aka harry Houdini!

she had to ask y/n in private because she knew jack would NOT let y/n enter not even a second thought about it, y/n would agree wanting to help humanity...y/n/Harry's weapon would be handcuffs that can summon any trap or confinement like chains,rope(both can be stretch infinitely), cuff's,cages, straightjackets & even an iron maiden,as well as traping his opponent in a large body of water

so imagine Jack's supprise when he saw you walking out of those gates ready to fight...when you said, you whare just going to get the tea😔

y/n would fight to his limits even unlocking a new ability,the ability is that y/n could now see through any tricks or illusions & know his opponents next move & skill set...his left eye would turn purple & Glow a faint light when he uses it((although it drains his energy rapidly))

in the end y/n aka harry Houdini would win...taking a bow as if he just got done with a another Escape act, before going backstage,in which he would be a greeted with a very unhappy, upset & nervous jack who was worried to god about him....

-Tears filled your eyes, seeing how cruelly your lover was being treated, willing to put his own life on the line to protect humanity, only to be treated like a monster.

-None of these cowards who were Jack so poorly were willing to put their lives on the line for humanity- they weren’t willing to fight!

-You had rushed backstage to the infirmary and all but collapsed into your lover’s arms, sobbing into his shoulder, as you had been so worried that you were going to lose him. Jack just smiled, holding the back of your head with his now clean hand, holding you close, letting you cry.

-Hlokk wasn’t surprised to see you there when she arrived to see how he was doing, once she was cleaned up, as she knew how much Jack loved you and vice versa.

-Jack couldn’t help but smile, seeing you and Hlokk getting along so well as the two of you instantly connected, especially when she realized who you were and you couldn’t help but show off, putting on a show for both of them, showing off your greatest tricks.

-You were so beautiful when you were like this, when you were happy- it was the color that Jack loved the most on you and always wanted to see it on you.

-As the matches went on, gods and humans exchanging victories, the gods were growing worried that they were going to lose, and they began to plot.

-Brunnhilde could sense the brewing storm, and she knew that something was up, with Zeus being so quiet. It’s a good thing that she has an inside person in the gods, one that was willing to help her and gave her the message that the gods were desperate enough to try to pull a fast one, as they didn’t want to risk losing this tournament- they couldn’t risk it!

-They were planning to have one more match with a trickster god, one who was skilled in tricks and illusions, even more so than Loki, as they believed there was no human that would be able to win against him.

-Armed with this knowledge, Brunnhilde was prepared, coming to you in the disguise of checking on Jack and Hlokk, who had forgiven her sister because she knew what had to be done, and that this Jack was the real Jack the Ripper- he killed murderers and left innocents alone.

-As she left, she glanced at you over her shoulder, giving you a look that she wanted to talk to you privately and you gave Jack a smile and went after Brunnhilde.

-She told you what the gods were planning, and she wanted you to fight. You knew that Jack wouldn’t agree to it- he probably would tie you up, if that would do anything against you, to keep you from putting yourself at risk.

-You agreed to fight but you had to be cautious, not wanting to upset Jack, which she agreed to and told you when to meet up with her to fight.

-You returned to Jack with a smile on your face as Hlokk was curious as to what the two of you spoke about, you just grinned, “Brunnhilde cares in her own way- she just wanted to know how you both were doing but felt shy on asking you herself.”

-Hlokk thought it was cute while Jack could tell that you were lying to him, but said nothing, as he knew that he could trust you.

-When it came time for you to fight, everyone was stunned when the gods announced there would be one more fight, Hlokk was yelling, saying it wasn’t far while you had a hand over your mouth in shock.

-You stood with a deep inhale, “I think we are going to need more tea for this.” Jack didn’t turn to you, nodding and you went to get it, giving Jack a peck on his forehead, your usually thing for when you leave his side.

-Your opponent went out first, cackling loudly at the booing humans, who were furious at this underhanded deed, and many of the gods, including several of those who fought, were booing as well- finding it dishonorable, worrying Zeus a bit that he shouldn’t have done this.

-A cloud of smoke appeared in the arena, shrouding the final human fighter in a cloud of mystery as Heimdall was hyping you up- as he wanted the humans to win- seeing the heart that they had.

-Heimdall pointed at the figure that appeared in the smoke, “The one- the only- Y/N!!!”

-The crowds roared with cheers as you beamed, spinning a pair of handcuffs around your finger, your Volundr item as you beamed brightly, waving around like you were about to perform.

-Jack’s eyelid twitched lightly as he ground his teeth together, you were supposed to be getting tea!! You were going to get an earful after this!!

-Your opponent was cocky, thinking he was going to easily win against you, but you were not to be underestimated. He charged for you, and you easily side-stepped him, swinging the handcuffs and in an instant your opponent was wrapped in chains, including his ankles and wrists being bound and he fell to the ground with a shout of surprise.

-Everyone froze, seeing this and you couldn’t help but grin, turning to him, “Let’s see you escape this!” the crowds were roaring as the trickster managed to easily escape, surprising you with his skills as he tried to do the same, chaining you up and stringing you upside down.

-He turned to the crowd with a grin, “Are you all entertained by this?!” the crowds were wide eyed, staring at something behind him and he turned as you dropped the last shackle, “That was a good try! What else you got?!”

-The match was back and forth, not so much with fighting and beating each other bloody, but trying to trap each other in elaborate ways to keep each other locked up to be able to land the final blow.

-It was entertaining, watching the two of you fighting, seeing you both escaping, but your opponent was getting pissed- finding you irritating- nobody was as good as he was!!

-When he actually attacked you, bloodying you up a bit, and you swore you could hear Jack screaming out your name as you were slightly dazed.

-You rolled, dodging another blow as you quickly got to your feet as you held the handcuffs and you smirked, “It seems like I should get serious too.” He glared as you charged, but when you ducked at the last second, dodging his blow, appearing behind him, he shouted in surprise as you grabbed him with your weapon and you smirked, “It’s time for the greatest trick the world has ever seen!!”

-The handcuffs lit up with a bright light before your opponent was wrapped in chains, then encased in an iron maiden, wrapped in more chains then suspended over a pool of water filled with piranhas before being lowered down into the water.

-The crowd was stunned as your hands came to your hips, a grin on your face as you saw the iron maiden moving as he struggled to get free. If he managed to get free of the chains, he was still trapped in the iron maiden, which was slowly filling with water, the spikes stabbing into him, making blood seep into the water, sending the piranhas into a frenzy.

-After a few moments everything went still and your greatest trick faded away, your opponent crumbling away as he perished, leaving you the winner which made the arena explode into cheers.

-You smiled, bowing to the crowd as if it were a show as you headed backstage, feeling a bit lightheaded from your wounds.

-“Y/N!!” you looked up, seeing both Hlokk and Jack running towards you and you did feel a bit nervous, as Jack looked mad, but he surprised you by leaping into your arms, his arms around your neck as he sagged into you, “You’re okay!”

-You smiled, hugging him like how he hugged you after his match, holding him close as he sighed, pulling back as he cupped your cheek, creating a tender moment before his other hand came up, cupping your other cheek before he grabbed your cheeks between his thumb and index finger, pinching and pulling your cheeks, “You reckless! Idiotic!! FOOL! Do you know how worried I was?!”

-You whined as he punished you, begging him for mercy but you knew that you deserved this for deceiving him as he released your cheeks, taking your hand to lead you to the infirmary while still scolding you.

-He was so cute- but you knew that he cared.

[the-monkey-ruler]

Besides samadhi fire, is it mentioned what other weaknesses Wukong has?

He has been seen to be nearly the perfect fighter but in the face of certain magical items, he has been weakened. And in other, he has been completely overwhelmed.

When it comes to feats that have left him so hurt he was incapacitated it has been done by other different demons.

Yellow Wind Demon - Samadhi Wind has left him blind

Scorpion Demon - her venom left Wukong sick for some time

Honorary mentions! They didn't hurt Wukong but they did stop him without the use of magical items.

Immortal Zhenyuan - able to trap Wukong and party in his sleeves, unable to harm him

Silver Horn Demon King - putting THREE heavenly mountains on top of him to trap him (More information about this feat here by JTTWR https://journeytothewestresearch.com/2018/08/05/1521/)

Hundred Eyed Demon Lord - flashing lights blinding Wukong momentarily

Buddha - Traped him under the Five Fingers Mountain for 500 years

These are the most notable instances that was hurt or that he was left unable to move.

Now there are some magical items that have similar effects as well but these are items that can affect anyone in the same manner and should be noted that they are powerful no matter the wielder.

The Diamond Snare / Golden Jade Ring - used by Laozi to trap Wukong and used by Single Horned Rhino King to steal his staff

The Purple Gold Red Gourd - used by Silver Horn to trap Wukong (escaped through tricking the brothers)

Flask of Yin and Yang Essence - Used by Golden Winged Peng (escaped by using Gaunyin's golden hairs)

Banana Leaf Fan - used by Princess Iron Fan to blow Wukong away, had to use a pill to stay in place

Golden Cymbals - used by Yellow Brow Demon to trap Wukong and needed the aid of constellations to get him to escape

I may be missing a thing or two but honestly, I think that I got them all at least. Wukong isn't easy to stop and there are a LOT of items that were created just for the sake to at least slow him down. But most of these feats either show Wukong's resistance or to show his intelligence in getting out of traps. I do enjoy that a lot of these items show how one has to use cunning and reasoning to get out of, really highlighting Wukong's titles as the Mind Monkey.

ROUND 2-B: The Goose VS Klaus Hargreeves

About The Goose: A mischievous Goose that torments people in their everyday lives and has a habit of stealing bells. They have a to-do list of many ways to mess with the town's folk, which includes; Breaking off the head of the Shopkeeper's broom, Scaring the Old Man to break the dartboard, Dropping a bucket on the Burly Man's head, Using the sprinklers on the Groundskeeper, Locking the Groundskeeper out of his own garden, Tricking the Tidy Neighbor into throwing and breaking fancy vase, Making the Boy buy back his own glasses, Tricking the Messy Neighbor into cutting the Tidy Neighbor's rose, Making the Groundskeeper hammer his thumb, Stealing the Old Man chair as he sits down, Traping the Shopkeeper in the garage, and Stealing the miniature town's bell and taking it all the way back to their nest.

About Klaus: an ex-student of the Umbrella Academy who can see, talk, and be possessed by the dead, but is afraid of the power thanks to his adoptive farther and thus he uses drugs and alcohol to turn it off. He's also some-what immortal, having technically died numerous times but brought back via both restarting his heart and God sending him back to earth, but ironically enough he survived two apocalypses one of which he inadvertently caused along with a fight between the Umbrellas and Sparrows, and Project Oblivion; which also wanted to destroy the world, although all of these were on different occasions. He went sober for 30 day and right after getting his chip he did drugs, died, and had his heart restarted in an ambulance. He celebrated his father's death, tried to steal money from his mansion, broke every rule he had, and danced with the urn/ashes. He accidentally stole a time-traveling-suitcase and went back in time with it, where he joined the Vietnam war and started a cult, both on also accident. He claims that he can lock-pick with his teeth, threw a fire extinguisher at a temporal anomaly, and he stole a ride with his brother and tried to get him to bring them to dinner.

My thoughts on s2 ep7 “Doomed to Die”

May the Valar protect us.

cold open? Perfect day in Eregion and Celebrimbor drinking his morning tea before work? Seems about right

the little mouse is cute <3 (perhaps symbolising Celebrimbor himself being like a traped mouse?)

you actually do believe when Annatar says that its sad to him that their collaboration will soon end (but if you´ve read the books you know how it will end exactly… Sauron, I hate you)

meanwhile Eregion is burning 🎶

Annatar giving Mirdania the “You´ve proven yourself well. When the time comes I will see to it that…” treatment he gave Galadriel last season

orcs are clever damming the river

mouse again? Celebrimbor marking a candle? wait…

Narvi joining Durin and Disa!

Elrond and Durin reunion!!!!!!!

the mouse is an illusion! Celebrimbor really is smart!

Sauron´s facade begins to crumble (literary)

seems like all the internet was right about the “mithril” being actually Sauron´s blood

poor Brimby 😭 he knows, he knows now everything but absolutley no one believes him as everyone thinks he´s gone mad

wth??!!! MIRDANIA, NO!!!! Sauron making it seem like Celebrimbor pushed her over the wall is next level evil. But in the end she was useful to him till the end (also confirmation that she wasn´t Celebrian in disguise)

but also, THE ELVEN ARMY IS HERE! gosh, what an entrance (Elrond looks 😍)

yup, Adar was smart capturing Galadriel. What better way to force a nagotiation?

Adar mentions Melian as Elrond´s foremother, omg!!!!!!

Elrond spreading some doubt among the orcs about how much their Lord Father is willing to sacrefice them for some personal vendetta

I see Elrond used the same tactic as Natasha did in Winter Soldier, and Galadriel literary had the same reaction as Steve did 🤣 (do I think the kiss is misplaced? kinda. but i know it was ment as a distraction- confirmed by the actors)

Elrond prooves himself a good strategist

now that´s a speach Durin!

now back to the battle and the Elves- not Elrond´s poor horse!

see? I knew Galadriel would use that pin to escape!

feel like it was good that she saw that Adar truly weeps for his fallen children

Arondir to the resque! Also, love bits of her wisdom begin to come through in their conversation

wait… so the dwarfs might not join the battle? wait… was that an illusion Sauron conjured to trick Durin?!

I can´t anymore… seeing Celebrimbor shackeled to his working table, blood and dust over all of him…

ok, but the conversation between Sauron and Celebrimbor? (plus mention of Morgoth!) AWARDS WORTHY

sorry Brimby, but the rings can´t be that easily destroyed

wait, he won´t… will he? he… really cut his thumb to come free from the shackle, omg

Galadriel to the resque!

wow, their conversation was just everything 🥲 they both been victims to Sauron´s games as well as their own pride, now overburdened with guilt… (would have wished the kiss was between them, but ok) Also, give Charles Edwards all the awards

we may not have seen much of Rian, but she went out like a true badass

Sauron killing the guards was pretty cool (but I´m so afraid for Celebrimbor now)

no, not Elrond looking hopefuly to the sunrise but no help comes 😢

the “Durin will come” 😭😭😭

Gil-Galad wielding Aeglos is pretty sick

wait… no, did Adar actually kill Arondir??!!!

seing Elrond so defieted on the ground breaks my heart 💔

Adar has Nenya, wow

[abla-soso]

People actually believe an upper-middle-class outsider, a nobody, can baby-trape the liberal, pro-abortion billionaire who has way more power than him in the relationship??? Is it crack??? Is it the crack talking???

If Tom believed he can trick Shiv into being pregnant and then manipulate her into keeping the baby, then why the fuck would he gleefully admit to it to her face??? Why not keep his mouth shut and precede with the plan in secret??? You know, like he's always done when he's being his scheming, conniving self??? Because there was no trick here. The moron thought he can sweet talk his wife into having a baby by showing her how eager and ready he is to have a baby ("I'm tracking your cycles, honey! See how badly I want this?!"), and when she expressed disapproval he gave up without a fight. He wanted a baby for utterly selfish reasons, yes, but how would anyone view this as Tom abusing Shiv's body and agency and treating her as a sex slave is beyond me. It's laughable.

This is a major issue I've noticed in the Tomshiv discourse. A lot of fans are weirdly determined to analyze the Tomshiv relationship through a Redfem worldview (where sex dynamics trumps the dynamics of class and race), when it's plainly obvious how the writing portrays class tension as the source of conflict, not sexism. Not saying that Tom can't be sexist towards Shiv, but his "inferior" class greatly hinders his ability to be effectively sexist. It's no coincidence that the typical gender dynamic is often switched between them. Tom is a nasty bitch who loves lording his power over people who are beneath him, but he constantly acted as the submissive, servile, silently suffering partner to Shiv. Just like he did with Logan and any people who have more power than him. And yet some people don't take this massive power inbalance into account and claim that Tom not only had the ability to be equally terrible and exploitative towards Shiv during the marriage but that he already did!! What?!! Then how did the Tomshiv dynamic drastically change as soon as Logan died and the marriage ended? As soon as Tom was able to social climb closer to Shiv's level? Why was he finally able to be a cunt to her and fight her as an equal?

This is not subtle writing, what's not clicking???

[treeangle-roots]

It’s been so long since I have seen someone like JSaB

Is there any way I could catch up on your characters and lore, maybe like a Google Doc or somethin? If not, point me in the direction of the nearest post of yours that shows the lore holy crap I am so pumped to see this

i dont have a doc atm but id love to make one!!!! gon work on that later today :]

(you can find a LOT of chara summaries n such all thru this tumblr though!)

but the tldr, ROA (Roots of Allay, Allay being the name of the treeangle) is a very complex story w/a lotta moving parts, and the below information only follows the main story.

A lot of details & plot-points are missing from this summary!!! Just tried to make it concise as possible

--

Past

1; The creation of the tree as a gift from the moon to the sun, and the union of the moon & sun in general, but the tree pieces are separate and it is not a whole entity

2; Protectors of the treepieces come about (Chronos, Logic, Milky Ways)

3; the first generation of playershapes are created (trape, oval, octa, crescent)

4; the second generation are created (square, circle, penta, tri)

5; square ends up both shattering logic and milky ways and bringing the tree pieces together, which they arent meant to be, causes an influx of unstable energy and that alone corrupt several folks

6; blix is lured out of his cave and goes for square (there was originally a treepiece in the cave, the one logic was guarding; and it being stolen and the guardian being shattered woke this previously inactive beat)

7; corruption event starts

8; first generation attempts to stop it, trapes deal unfolds where they get too confident and end up corrupted & the others shattered

9; the shattered members of the first generation are brought back by a now corrupt tree, thus they are brought back corrupt (oval, octa, crescent)

10; second generation goes through and actually stops it (mostly via the union of tri! and trape, who ends up befriending tri & defecting against blixer)

Present

11; first gen of playershapes are reunited

12; paradise is currently being rebuilt, turmoil is high, especially through cities. there's still issues and things don't suddenly become better

Future

13; Holly, a bloom, ends up attempting to recreate the event by tricking blixer, who considers them a friend at this time; since the event is when folks actually took flowers as a whole seriously & stopped treating them like innocent little guys who can do no wrong and can never show anything other than blind excitement. They're severely affected by their inability to see the nuance in things, and often categorize everything and everyone into purely good and purely bad (which ends up w/them being unable to see how badly the event REALLY affected flowers as a whole; to Holly, any respect is good, even if its fear)

[forthedancingandthethriving]

Mario Is Liquid 2: A Better Game

(sequel to Mario Is Liquid. The name just reflects how ABP would be considered better than ALitS)

Mario and Nimbus (in their seperate universes) are once again pulled to CAL, by a suspiciously placed blue and white portal..

They assume their forms from before and very cautiously start to traverse. They meet Lumi, but note this isn't SMG4 Lumi. This is Loop Lumi, where she doesn't even know anything about the Code World. Ever since Leto took over ALitS, ABP has just been looping Loop Lumi on repeat, erasing her memories each time. (Explanation here.)

L!Lumi is very kind and helpful, especially once they meet her friends, Red, Green, and Blue. Things actually go well until the scripted event when Green is meant to leave. Before Green does, SMG4 Lumi comes crashing in while in her more cat form. Bracelets made of coral are on each of her ankles along with a coral circlet, and seeing Mario and Nimbus, S!Lumi chases them. With Green's departure put on hold, L!Lumi and her friends chase after them.

Hijinks ensue, but Nimbus is also super concerned with the rhetoric S!Lumi is shouting, as it was the same things Leto said to her to trick her. With the help of the ABP gang, S!Lumi is tied up by a piece of Red's tail, frozen in a time block by Blue, and spikes moved by Green trape S!Lumi.

This actually brings the ABP group even closer together, and after saying goodbye to Nimbus and Mario (who get collected by SMG8 and SMG3 respectively), Green decides not to leave.

However, this doesn't last, as with the new abilities given to her by Leto, S!Lumi breaks free. Unable to stand to see a version of her get what she so desperately wants, S!Lumi opens a portal to the end of ABP and throws L!Lumi through, causing ABP to reset.

With that, S!Lumi retreats back to ALitS. Another day, another chastising.

[yandereocs]

Kinda like a part 2 to the one where the twins react to a darling who escapes for affection. The twins are going on about their day doing their job and stuff. Then comes the time where their darling should show up for affection. They wait about 20 minutes and their darling is a no show. They freak out thinking their darling has been tricking them and the darling escaped. They come to find out that the chains they bought, thinking they were the same as the old wore out ones, arent the same and their darling couldn't escape from them. So they find their darling traped in the chain crying while trying to escape for affection.

* PART 2 BABY LET'S GOO

Yandere Twins with a darling who escapes for a hug, part two

You escaped around the same time every day. It's become a fun routine for the three of you.

But you were taking longer than normal. 20 minutes late. You're normally able to slip out of their "restraints" so easily. What's taking you so long?

"I'm getting nervous. I don't like this. Should we go back to the room and check?" Chase asked, giving his brother a nervous glance.

Chance blinked. He thought for a second before his eyes widened and his fur bristled. "That motherFUCKER!!" He shrieked, bolting to the room.

Chase was taken aback. He gave Zack an apologetic glance before chasing after his brother. "Hey!! What's the matter?"

Chance glanced back to his twin, his eyes burning with rage. "Are you stupid?! We've been tricked!! That bitch lowered our guard and then made a run for it!! I'll fucking kill that piece of shit!!" He snarled.

Chase stared blankly at his brother, the accusation processing, before his eyes narrowed into slits. "I'll break their legs so they never leave us again." He growled.

The twins skidded to a halt in front of their room, swinging the door open with enough force to knock it off the hinges. They expected an empty room, with no trace of you other than the chains that once restrained you.

But that isn't what they found.

Your eyes were red and puffy, your nose raw from rubbing away the runny mucus. Your face was stained with tears and your chest was heaving as you desperately tried to breathe.

Your leg had multiple scratches, blood running onto the floor from the more deeper wounds. You clearly tried to tear the restraint off your leg and failed.

The twins were stunned, their fur smoothing and their pupils returning to normal size. They completely expected to find you gone, but instead you're...crying? For what? Can't you get out?

"I'm s-so SORRY!!" You sobbed, clinging onto your shirt. "I don't know wha-what I did wr..ong!! But I'll.. I'll f-fix it!! I PROMISE!!" Your voice was shaking and your words were being interrupted by sobs and heaves of air.

Chase was the first to move. He knelt down in front of you and wiped your face from your tears. "What do you mean, dear? Why do you think you did anything wrong?" His ears were flat against his head, his eyebrows knitted in concern.

You continued to heave your chest. "T-the restraints...I couldn't ge..t out. I tho..ught I did something...wro..ng." You cried. Chase blinked in confusion and looked at this brother.

Chance looked just as confused as his brother, and he went to check the restraint on your leg. It's the same one they always buy, no?

As Chance inspected the restraint he froze.

It wasn't the same one.

The metal seemed thicker and heavier. It obviously wasn't made from the weaker metal they normally use. How did they not notice when they bought it.

"Oh. Oh, shit. Babe, I'm so sorry. I'm so fucking sorry, we didn't know. We thought...we thought it was the same one we always buy." Chance hurried out an apology, swiftly removing the restraint.

You pulled your legs up to your chest as soon as your ankle was free, laying your head on your knees and sobbing. The twins looked at each other. Shit. This was bad.

Chase shuffled to sit next to you and wrapped his arms around you, while Chance hovered his hands near your wounds and started to heal them with his magic.

Chase rubbed your back and murmured soft apologies and words of comfort while Chance offered different ways to make it up to you. They didn't mean for this to happen, and they feel a bit bad that they immediately jumped to conclusions.

They'll do anything to get you to forgive them. You've been so kind and loving to them, they don't want things to change.

So please, won't you forgive them?

[selenasln]

why cant i just be like other people? im tired of being me... it feels like they dont want me anymore and im being left out of place again. Im tired of being what i become. hope i can rest soon. i badly need to.

i am once bright

innocent like light

but they tricked me

i become fool, and envy.

they become my enemy

until my hatred grow

it scape from reality

now i am traped and tied

In the prison i made inside

even i sream for help

no one can hear me outside

i am scared and still no one cared

now i know why no one ever help

maybe because i am evil,

Ugly and stupid to be saved

so i stop and think

i dont need their help

they made me like this

then they should be the one

to adjust in the word

where i too exist.

DWC Feb, Day3: Consequences

Summary: Kappi's newest "gift" has him thinking about past choices and has lunch with @attzi-gearburst

Warnings: None

@daily-writing-challenge 

“Ya knew then consequences of returnin’ to him, Kappi. Ya knew it yet here you are.”

Those words echoed in Kappi’s mind almost daily. A constant reminder of his moment of weakness after witnessing his boss make the sacrifice play. 

Another constant reminder with the frequent packages that arrived at the FBC offices in Booty Bay. Addressed to him, each one a matte black box with a red ‘T.F’ logo on the side. Something he knew all too well and something he regretted each and every time that box arrived. These were his consequences. The constant barrage of new jobs that he could not turn down or risk putting the one person he loved in danger. 

Each box had the details in it for the next job. Though Kappi had learned early on that Draven was not sharing the whole truth each time. As if some kind of sadistic test to make sure that Kappi truly was back and that his skills were still as sharp as ever. The first, telling him the target had gone to Vol’dun when they had, in fact, fled to Kul Tiras. Another gave him the wrong target, informing him it was an entirely different race. Another, incorrect description. Each and every one, more frustrating than the last. Though, once he knew that there was misinformation somewhere, he started picking up on the tricks and he was able to discern which piece of info was false. He just wished the packages would stop arriving, but that was in the works. 

Kappi stared at the most recent arrival that sat on his desk. A package about the size and shape of a hat box, wrapped in the same black paper as always and a bright red bow tied around it. The moment Kappi had seen it he had pushed it across his desk but it was not something he could push away for long. He would have to look at it’s contents, look at what the Farmer had in store for him next. At least Attzi had convinced him to bring her with him on all of these jobs. It had helped far more than Kappi ever knew it would and was amazing to have someone with him that he trusted with his life. He sighed heavily and sat up in his chair, finally reaching for the cursed package. The time had come that he finally had to look at it, he could not put it off any longer. He slips a dagger from his belt and flips it over, slicing along the seam of the box before putting it away. He had gotten over the caution long ago that any of these would be booby-traped. Even if all this was Draven simply screwing with him, these jobs still needed done and they always got them done quickly.

Inside was the normal contents. A small cake with the same color scheme of the box, a dossier with information about the job and a smaller box that usually had another small part that would help him make the picture whole. He flipped the folder open and started scanning the papers. The target was a mage this time. He sighed heavily and rubbed at his temples, mages were not an easy catch. Though this one seemed like he could be. His name was Bozabeck and it seemed he was very proud of his skills. Could get him to start showing off, could doubt his abilities to get him riled up and willing to be by himself. There was also that off chance Attzi knew him. He flipped another page and continued reading looking for where this ‘Beck’ had last been seen and where they could start sending people to search. As he was reading down another page of the information, looking for that tiny clue to tell him just what part of the information was false, there was a knock on his office door. He stopped reading and glanced up to find Attzi standing in the doorway with lunch in her hands. He smiled and flipped the dossier closed, pushing it to the side, but as she saw it a heavy frown set in.

“Monthly package arrived.” She said flatly as she approached the desk, setting several containers on it.

He nods and sighs. “That it has. Could use your help, love. Looks like a mage this time, maybe you know them.” He motioned towards the dossier for her to see, but she did not grab it right away. Instead she pushed it aside and offered him one of the containers with a smile. “Could be! Right now though, ya gonna sit right there and enjoy ya lunch with me.” She says very matter-of-factly, pulling up a chair, sitting next to him and smiling.

Kappi chuckles and nods, knowing this was not an argument he was going to win. He pops the top on his lunch and is handed a fork by Attzi. They dig in and for those few minutes Kappi almost forgets about the dossier sitting on his desk. But the problem with consequences is they can not be avoided for long…

HUNK-A-LIOUS to the Rescue! UH OH! trap, the doors have locked, but at least the other Balmarians are freed and heading to the protection of the cast-

WHAT DO YOU MEAN SOMETHING CAME UP!? (also, love Shay~)

I’ve talked about the psychiatric themes of venca’s curse already (here & here). But, the connection to government experimental ab*se is also fascinating . 

We had Hopper feel like he’s a “curse”-as he describes the chemicals used on him as a teen in the war- which caused veterans like him to have kids with “crooked spines” / “eyes popped out” (sounds familiar). It shows a connection with “vecna’s curse” symbolically . Both “curses” were caused by experimental ab*ses of the usa gov. We also see both Henry/Hopper imprisoned in gov facilites and call it "hell". Henry even calls the lab a "prison" (while hopper is in a literal one). fyi irl soviets used to do scientific experiments in their prisons (trying to create psychics). In st, it's experiements of ud creatures. All 3 - the lab, soviet prison, vietnam war (also have the visual connection of buzzcuts).

 The usa/soviet connection is also why they choose the last name "creel" for Henry (it means fish trap) . And later we see poor El imprisoned and stuck in the water tank . The tank is called Nina, a russian name- which can also means "fish trap" ). She's trapped specifically because owens tricked and "trapped her" with Brenner. Russian Yuri also has a fishing business - and tries traping joyce ,murray, Hopper, and dmitri in the soviet prison, by tricking them. The tank is called nina . But the play called Nina (mentioned by Brenner) directly compares El to the character Nina. The parallel goes deeper because Nina is also the name of a famous (allegedly) psychic soviet woman. We also had Sullivan theorize Brenner and co were trying to help El to later sell her to the soviets. Even if not true- it's another parallel. Like how muray and Ted thought El was a russian spy. When she was trained to be an American one.

The connections are because the Duffers are probably trying to say some of the ab*ses of  the USA were similar to those of the soviet union.  Aka chem experiments in vietnam/ mkultra experiments in st done by Brenner/ experiments in soviet prisons. All these plot points are also all loosely based on real human experiments. Heck (america's) mkultra experiments also experimented on people in jails, just like the soviet union. But mkultra also went to psych asylums and experimented on them as well- which adds another layer of depth as far as the psych allegories relating to vecna's curse .

It’s me again╰(*´︶`*)╯♡ ( the one with sweet messages ) this time I have a req! So I just had an idea for akitoya and I was thinking what if akito pranks toya or tricks toya and then tickles him. Idk maybe you can imagine or write something abt that:)

Game night gone wrong

Ok but like, I really love this idea! Akito is definitely a trickster and Toya being so gullible and clueless falls for his tricks all the time. I hope I do your idea justice!

___________________________________________

Akito x Toya (romantic but interpret as you wish)

Ler: Akito

Lee: Toya

Warnings: Tickles! Feet??

___________________________________________

Akito and Toya were gathered in the redhead’s room, deciding to spend their night playing boardgames. Akito had brought out the family friendly game of monopoly, where friendships don’t get ruined (that’s a lie).

They both settled down on the floor and set up their game, nothing could go wrong, right? Well your WRONG! Toya was absolutely dominating the game and poor Akito was about to go bankrupt.

In a fit of furry, Akito accidentally rolled his dice a bit too hard, which lead to them getting lost under his bed. As he was about to go retrieve them, he suddenly got a good idea, a very mischevious one in fact.

“Hey Toya, can you go get the dice for me?”.

“Why me though?”.

“W-well uhh… Y-you have a longer reach than me, so it’ll be easier to get them!” Akito did the best puppy eyes he could in order to persuade Toya.

Toya could never resist his cute boyfriend.

“Alright then, but don’t touch my stuff”.

“Thanks babe~”.

Toya softly blushed at the nickname and went under Akito’s bed to get the dice.

“Toya, you gotta go in all the way”.

Toya obeyed and went further deeper into the bed, with only his lower half sticking out.

“Akito, I can’t find them”.

“Just keep looking. Here, I’ll help you out~” And with that, Akito’s plan had commenced. He quickly took a seat on top of his boyfriend’s legs to keep him pinned.

“A-Akito, what are you doing…? I can’t move” Poor Toya was so clueless as to what his boyfriend’s true intentions were.

“I’m here to help out~! So you just keep looking down there~”.

Akito’s grin was so sinister you’d think he had lost his marbles (in this case his dice). He then proceeded to swipe a single finger down his boyfriend’s socked sole, causing him to let out a girlish shriek.

“EEP! A-Akito! Don’t do that..!”.

“Forget about me, just focus on finding the dice, sweetie~” Akito then proceeded to slowly wiggle his fingers up and down Toya’s feet.

“Wahahait! Thahahat tickles!! Ahahakito!!” Poor Toya couldn’t focus on finding the dice, and with his boyfriend on top of him, he wasn’t able to move. He was traped!

“Really?? I would’ve never guessed~”.

“Gahahahaha! Ahakito! Plehehease!”.

“But your doing so well! Keep going~” With that, Akito slowly peeled off Toya’s socks, causing him to panic.

“WaHAit!! Akito! Dohon’t!” Toya tried kicking his legs but it was useless.

“I’ll stop helping once you’ve found the dice, until then… Tickle tickle, Toya~” Akito started scribbling his nails all over Toya’s bare soles.

“GYAHAHAHAHAHA! AHAHAKITO! NAHAHAHAHA!” Toya tried protesting but his sentences would get interrupted by his own laughter.

“C’mon Toya, the dice won’t find itself~” Akito being the little shit he is, started tickling Toya’s toes.

“AHH! AHAKITO! NAHAT THEHEHAHAHHAHAHAHA!” Toya screamed bloody murder and tried curling up his toes, but it wasn’t enough to get Akito to stop.

“Aww~ Coochi coochi coo~ Such cute, ticklish toes you’ve got~”.

“EEEEP! AHAHAKITO! STAHAHAP! PLEHEHAHAHAHA!” Toya was beet red from all of Akito’s teasing.

“There’s only one way to get me to stop~”.

And with that, Toya had a new mission, to not get murdered by his boyfriend. With the little strenght he had, he pushed through the torturous tickles and grabbed the dice, throwing them back out into the open.

Once Akito saw that Toya had retrieved the dice, he stopped his tickle attack and helped his boyfriend out of the bed.

“W-why did you do that??” Poor Toya was panting as if he had ran a marathon.

“Haha sorry, I just really enjoy hearing you laugh~”.

If Toya wasn’t red before, he definitely was now.

“You could’ve atleast not tricked me…” Toya pouted like a cute lil kid.

“Aww I’m sorry, I’ll make it up to you! How about a foot massage~?” Akito asked with a mischevious glint in his eyes.

“NO!” Toya playfully smacked him with a nearby pillow, causing Akito to laugh and retaliate with another pillow. The pillow fight then turned into an adorable tickle fight, the boardgame long forgotten.
