Okay, my screenshots aren't working but-
[Tim takes a steadying breath. âItâs justâitâs funny, yâknow?â The smile on his face feels twisted. âAll of those times we fought our evil selves from the future, and we never actually stopped to listen to why.â
But Tim isnât done. âI mean, if itâd only been once or twice, then sure, thatâs not great, but thereâs gotta be some horrible futures out thereâbut weâve fought what, five or six evil versions of us?â
Tim nods his thanks. âSeven versions. Of which each successive one would have remembered defeating the versions that had come before, but still came anyway.â
The others go still, then exchange loaded glances.
"That things would get bad for us was inevitable, wasnât it?â Cassie finishes. âItâd always end up as us apart from⌠everyone else.â
âJust us,â Bart mutters.]
REALLY good fic, only one chapter and apart of a series but it's the only part so far. âĄâĄâĄâĄ

crazy how viktor can't take a shit without people trying to claim that the shape of it is somehow him trying to brand himself with the talis family crest because being romantically obsessed with jayce is his whole personality now apparently.
#mine#league/arcane#arcane critical#sorryyyy in my hater era#actually i like the ship! more the league lore of them so i was sad they didn't follow that trajectory in s2 but still#one day i'm going to go off about how crazy it is that arcane's characterization of viktor removed basically all of his agency and autonomy#and personal convictions and etc etc#and left like 90% of his screentime as him acting either as a vessel to move jayce's (way more fleshed out) character arc forward#or as a vessel to provide a convenient villain for the ending so that they could ignore the core political themes of the premise#despite it making no sense for his character#like from how much of a presence viktor has in fan content you'd think he was the main goddamn character but he was genuinely so sidelined#compared to the ACTUAL main 4 (jinx vi cait and jayce) who he lags behind in screentime considerably#i guess if nothing else imagine how much more he'd be dominating every discussion about arcane if he was on par with them#the irresistible call of white twink sadboys to a fandom#anyway it makes me sad bc i looooved the daniil dankovsky tier obsessive freak qualities of og viktor's lore....#and not only did arcane retcon it and replace it BUT the fandom is also just focusing on him as like#obsessed with some guy and his own insecurities instead of having an actual ideology

None of the Highlander sequels were good but I was entertained by all of them in their own way
#3 is probably the weakest? like 2 and 4 are quite bad in their own ways but they have redeeming elements I find really interesting#and 3 does too! thereâs a magician! he has a boy! a baby boy! I like his girlfriend. sheâs in crash. but like. weak villain weak finale#it just has less going on! and 2 is like. a bad movie but itâs an INSANE bad movie I had the time of my LIFE watching it. Sean Connery gets#a makeover montage. highlanders are actually aliens. Virginia Madsen is there. Michael Ironside plays a guy named katana. and half of 4 is#about duncan Macleod whoâs hashtag not my Highlander but bizarrely the emotional core of the movie really works for me. also I like that#Connor kills a priest like thatâs insane. and of course the SIMMERING homoeroticism#âdonât you want to be inside meâ <- they say this TWICE#anyway I havenât seen the only Adrian Paul one Iâm sure itâs bad#arggg I just remembered ���I love you connorâ followed by an immediate decapitationâŚ

here's my short review of crisis core ff7 reunion:
did FANTASTIC things with the younger versions of the ff7 characters and the gameplay is super fun. The original characters and the story are eh. I fucking loved the game. I've just started a ng+ on Hard to platinum it. (Also got some other trophies to pick up, and I'll be going back to my Normal save file to 100% the missions, but you gotta finish a Hard playthrough for a trophy.)
If you're an FF7 fan, really like character focus, and good characters + gameplay can carry a game for you (like me), I highly recommend it. If you need the story to be really good to enjoy a game, probably give it a pass. I didn't DISLIKE the story, but it was definitely its weakest element.
I will do my best to stop crisiscoreposting on here now. Thank you for indulging me. This is your fault (affectionate)
#not a poll#crisis core#also if you're going to make your villain's main personality trait be 'quoting a play he likes'#please write more than like 4 lines of it#i love crisis core tho. don't get me wrong. i adore ir#*it

Hello are we being mentally ill about Triandra? Because it bothers me so much that she never got to interact with Sharena who is possibly her sister living the happy fulfilled life she always wanted for her except she doesnât remeber her and everything they went through and themself KDJ (I am mentally ill about No Sharena in the tempest trial)
YEAH. YEAH.
ALSO AAAUGHGHGHGHHHHHHH I. KNEW I SHOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN MY HOPES UP FOR THE TT EVENT I KNEW I SHOULDN'T HAVE GOTTEN MY HOPES UP FOR SECOND SUMMER BANNER I SHOULD HAVE FUCKING KNOWNâźď¸âźď¸âźď¸âźď¸Like newgirl is CUTE design-wise but as soon as I fucking saw her I fucking knew. Oh we're Not getting anything about Sharena are we. I just FELT it in my BONES đđđđđ
RANT ASIDE THOUGH.
There is something I DESPERATELY want to explore myself (bc FEH WON'T give us ANYTHING). But it's such a huge project and I'm having a lot of trouble like. Conceptualizing it. But it has been in the back of my head For A While, and like, since refreshing my memory on Book 4 (I FORGOT. SOME REALLY FUCKING IMPORTANT DETAILS LMFAOOO) I just. I have SO many other things to explore now.
LIKE. I will talk WAY too fucking much about it maybe it has to be it's own post, but. I have an old project I Need to revisit, that's the catalyst for like, a sequence of events to occur, all exploring how everyone involved (Alfonse, Sharena, Triandra, Peony) are coping with the Developments. And tying up loose ends, like how Triandra and Sharena should have interacted. AND now I'm drawing parallels between Triandra and Alfonse and I'm just. I'm SO unwell about it. ESPECIALLY because of how Triandra ended up. Even though SHE WAS RIGHT AND SHE DID IT TO PROTECT HER LOVED ONE SHE WAS COMPLETELY JUSTIFIED AND SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A HERO. SHE SHOULD HAVE BEEN. (AND as I say that, I'm actually not calling bad writing here -- though I DO think there's A Lot to expand upon. I am just SO. SO unwell. About how she did a ruthless but ultimately good thing, for a good reason. She was kind. But not in the way Peony was.)
#ask answered!#feh#also something i can't quite express yet struggling to find the words for it. but.#how triandra is condemned by her own grief guilt and pain. ect.#making her more suited to become a nightmare fairy in the first place.#making her into an antagonist. a villain. someone who brings fear and pain and sorrow.#despite it being against her core nature. which is to be kind. to love. at any cost.#AUGH#plumeria also has this going on too and i think my first run of book 4 i was more struck by that.#because oh my god. that's horrifying. that's like her own personal hell.#i wish i could just. give her a new job. like girl you don't have to do this anymore. send in your two weeks notice we'll figure it out.#fe triandra#sharena

everytime i think about kath for too long especially when considering the wider picture im like. ngeremes plastik
#shes so. chews on railing#she was best friends with eve and aaron. she killed aaron. she fought in a rebellion to overthrow a tyrant. she became an empress after.#she adopted reza liz n nia n genuinely shes them as her children. she was barely a mother. she never knew what having caring parents felt#like. liz never knows what having a mother would even feel like. she wants desperately for nate to see her as a mentor and parental figure.#she killed his dad. she made his mother a widow. she killed aaron. she killed aaron. she killed her own best friend.#she never unlearns the ideologies her parents taught her despite spending years fighting a tyrant. she wants to protect the world from#anymore harm. she goes about it by subjugating territories after territories under her own rule. she thinks herself a reluctant villain.#she thinks herself a hero whos the only one capable or even willing to do what it takes.#ugh. ughhhh. i dont even hate her. i dont exactly Like her either. idk#shes a character for the narrative at least. i dont need to feel one way or the other for her.#though funny thing about her character is that her unresolved issues was catastrophic on a global scale and xu's canon is basically#so DEEPLY ENTRENCHED with and can NOT be separated from the consequences of her actions. like everything that happens every series of#important events every character dynamic every characters MOTIVATIONS the absolute CORE of the narrative conflict and every important#character is so deeply deeply a result of her actions. and she doesnt get much screentime as the rest of the cast. lol#we only get to her in part 3. which is arguably maybe the second most appearances of every parts. 4 and 5 shes basically relegated to side#character. part 6 shes there for the Final Confrontation. she gets more screentime but it doesnt actually mean much because every non-main#character gets more screentime because part 6's allllll about the conflict being bigger than xander flip and ari. so honestly despite being#the main antagonist. arguably everything that happened a result of her. shes actually kindaaaa akddmfoslor.#maybe because xu is more about interpersonal connection than anything else. meeting halfway meeting as equals. and kath has made herself to#be no ones equal. the top of the top. cool. detached. suave. charismatic. ruthless. nonchalant. egotist.#not your mother. despite wanting so so bad to be one. not your friend. despite being so so lonely and missing older times.#in a way she rlly does encapsulate xu's core theme and conflict. connections of equals vs isolations of hierarchies. and she is the highest#of all. so she must be the most isolated of all.#idk. everything is ur fault girl. u couldve had a better life. your best friends. maybe therapy before deciding 2 become a mother of three.#and yet it couldnt have been any other way. because u couldnt have been anyone other than kath.#and maybe theres some form of tragedy in that

Sunshine
Pairing - dark!Rafe x pogue fem!reader
Summary - Reader has a crush on JJ, but JJ is dating Kie. Rafe decides he wants reader to get over JJ, no matter her say in the matter.
Words - 3k
Warnings MDNI - NON CON, DUB CON, drugging with E, slapping, physical fight (m vs f), dry humping, alcohol use, drug use, rough sex (p in v), degradation, blackmail, very dark Rafe.
A/N: This is my darkest piece I have ever wrote and of course it's for Rafe. He is mean SOB in this, so if that triggers you, please don't read. Thank you to @haven247 for the beta read. I am nervous about writing this dark, but hope you like it. PLEASE HEAD THE WARNINGS!
Being at a kook party was not your idea of fun, but they had free booze and it was better than a keggar. After the last week youâve had, you have every intention of getting plastered and trying to forget your crush and best friend was dating someone else.
JJ your best friend since you were 4 and crush since you were 14, was officially dating Kie. And it hurt, a lot. You knew it was coming, saw the writing on the wall, but held out hope it wouldnât. The only person who knew about the crush, that you knew of, was John B. He was your brother from another mother, and knew you inside and out. You three had been friends so long, you donât remember a time when they werenât there. John B has given you hug and told you he was sorry the day you saw them kissing through the Chateau window. He informed you they were dating and you had gone home and cried yourself to sleep. Avoiding them this past week, but couldnât get around it for this party.
You had watched them dance, laugh, and make out, and were completely ready to vomit. Or wait, was they alcohol? I was in my 3rd concoction of the night and was not feeling much of anything. Well physically anyway.
Anyway, you were in the kitchen getting another drink, when you heard the last voice, you wanted to here.
âWell, well if it isnât Miss Sunshineâ Rafe Cameron sneered as he walked into the kitchen.
âFuck off, Cameronâ I told him, trying not to say more and start something.
âAnyone ever told you have a venomous mouth, Sunshineâ he laughed.
âOnly to you, Cameron. Everyone else thinks I am adorable and sweetâ my voice dripping with sarcasm.
âI bet you taste sweetâ he chuckled. I turned around and caught him looking me up and down. He showed no shame for being caught. âWhatâs got you drowning in booze tonight? Wouldnât have anything to do with Maybank and Carrera doing the horizontal mambo, would it?â
âYouâre such an asshole, Cameronâ You go to walk past him and he grabs your upper arm and pulls close to him.
âMost girls that talk to me the way you do get punishedâ he leered, inches from my face.
So, side note, when I drink, I think I am ten feet tall and bulletproof. And tonight was no exception.
âLet go of me you fucking psycho!â I hissed at him, pulling my arm. Unfortunately, he was so much stronger than me, my arm barely moved in his grasp. âI swear to God Rafe, I am not in the mood for your bullshit tonight.â
âDonât call me psycho and I think I need to teach you some manners.â he growled right before he grabbed the back of my neck and pulled me in to kiss him.
I instantly started pushing on him and struggling to get free. I bit his lip and he howled in pain and jerked back. I slapped him across the face, not caring this was Rafe Cameron, Kook Prince himself, and no one ever told him no.
He snapped his head back and I looked in his eyes. They were completely black, no amount of blue left, and had a predatory look that actually caused a little fear to creep up my spine. Something else, God help me, arousal shot through to my core and made me soak my panties.
I started to back away and with each step I took back, he took forward.
âRafe just fucking walk away, leave me aloneâ I try to sound defiant and flippant, but not sure I pulled it off. His grin was pure evil, reminding me of every Disney villain I ever watched.
*Oh Sunshine, you really shouldnât have done thatâ he smirked. I turn to run and get one of the pogues, but he grabs me by my waist and turns me around to throw me over his shoulder.
âYou psychotic motherfucker, put me down!â I yell as I punch his back as hard as I can. He just grunts and slaps my ass hard, bringing tears to my eyes and more arousal to leak out of me. My mind was telling me to fight because you hate him, but my body was yelling at me to let him have his way.
He takes you to some room, locks the door, and proceeds to throw you on the bed. He immediately grabs both your wrists and roughly jerks them above your head, causing you to arch your back from the roughness and your tits rub against his chest. The lace bra you wear offered little protection from the friction and instantly your nipples hardened. Rafe chuckles as his free hand rubs over my breasts and pinches my nipples.
âYou may not want this, but your body doesâ he chuckles as his hand slides down over my stomach and to the waistband of my shorts. I continue to struggle, he slaps my bare thigh, causing me to gasp. I know if I looked down right now, there would be a red hand print.
âYouâre a feisty thing, maybe we should get you a little more pliant.â He threatens.
I see him reach in the pocket of his shorts, but donât see anything in his hand when he pulls it out.
âRafe, what the fuck are you doing?â I demand trying to keep the worry out of my voice.
âJust a little something to make you enjoy it more.â He smirks as he places a pill on his tongue and grabs my jaw to look at him.
âOpen up, Sunshineâ he murmurs as leans in to kiss me.
I try to shut my mouth, but the hold he has on my jaw wonât let me. He shoves his tongue in my mouth and I feel the pill begin to dissolve as he devours my mouth. God he is a good kisser, I canât stop myself as I whine in the kiss, causing him to moan. He held my jaw until the pill was fully dissolved, then he lets go, but we continued to kiss. Fuck, what was I doing, this was Rafe, I should be biting his fucking tongue off, yet I didnât want the kiss to stop. He finally pulls away when air became a necessity.
âWhat the fuck did you give me, Rafe?â I pant, still trying to catch my breath from the kiss.
âAww Sunshine, itâs just a little E to make you forget your troubles and help me fuck you without the feistiness.â He smiles down at me. I start to struggle again and hurt him in some fashion. His hold on my wrists and him between my legs really left me defenseless, and he knew it.
âNow letâs get rid of these clothes.â He grabs the neckline of my shirt and rips it down the middle. I screech from shock, and he continues ripping till it is off me.
âOh Sunshine, you have some beautiful tits.â He groans as he leans down and latches his lips on one of my nipples. I gasp out from pleasure as he sucks, nibbles and licks my nipples through my bra. Thousands of jolts of delight ripple through my body to my core. I began to feel a zing of energy and mixing that with pleasure, I couldnât stop myself from grinding my hips up into Rafe.
âThatâs it baby, let the drug begin to work. Let me make you feel good and forget Maybank for tonight.â He murmurs as he continues his assault on my tits, his mouth on one and his hand, pulling and pinching the other.
âMoreâ I whimper to him, trying to get more friction. He reached behind me undoing my bra and let go of my wrists, I moved my arms so he can get off. My hands fly into his hair to push more into my chest. He grinds down on me and I groan, I feel the heat build in my stomach.
I have a slight moment of clarity, where I thought what the fuck am I doing, when Rafe rolls his hips and the tip of cock hits the seam in my shorts just right to rub my clit and I see stars. I moan out as I squeeze my eyes shut and let my orgasm wash over me.
âFuck Sunshine, when was the last time you came?â he chuckles, reaching down to unbutton my shorts and take them off. He stands up, using the opportunity of me in a blissful state, to rid himself of his clothes. I look over to him and see his cock saluting me. My eyes wide at how big he was.
âShit Rafe, I donât know what you plan to do with that monstrosity, but it ainât fitting in me.â I say in wonder.
âIâll make it fit,â he said as he spread my legs and slapped my pussy. I yelped, still sensitive from my release, but it caused a wildfire to spread through my veins. He slapped it a few more times, rendering me a whiny mess. I tried to hide my face, ashamed at how he was making me feel. I knew the E was mainly to blame, but a part of me knew it wasnât all the drugs.
âOh, donât be shy nowâ Rafe taunted as he pulled my hands from face and roughly kissing me.
Distracted by his kiss, I didnât notice he lined his cock up to enter me. He shoved it in my soaked pussy and I screamed in his mouth. The pain and burn from his stretching without prep was almost unbearable. Instantly, tears formed in my eyes and I pulled my mouth free.
âFUCK!â I cried out âRafe, get out, pull out, it hurts so bad!â I cry but he continues to snap his hips into me, even though I was pushing on his stomach.
âShut the fuck up and take it.â He growled as he grabbed my arm and jerked it above my head, slamming into me faster. I was whimpering, crying mess underneath him. He continued to pound into me, hitting my cervix, lips taking what they wanted from my lips down to my breasts.
âIâll have you forgetting Maybank after tonight and youâll only want my cock in this pussy. Youâre mine now, Sunshineâ he rasped in my ear.
âI hate youâ I hissed at him.
Eventually the pain began to be replaced by pleasure, my cries turning into moans as I felt my core heat up and the band began to tighten.
âYou keep saying that, but your body doesnât,â he taunted âyou might be venomous, nonchalant, and a raging bitch to the rest of the world, but all you needed was a Daddy to tame that mouth and this pussy. Didnât you?â
I ignored him, not wanting to agree with him. Suddenly I heard and then felt the smack across my face. I let out a shocked yelp and grabbed face with my free hand. My body betrayed and a rush of arousal coated his cock.
âOh, you like being slapped huh? When I ask you a question, you answer it, slutâ he hissed at me.
âYes Daddyâ I moaned out, before slapping my hand over my mouth, not believing what I just said.
âThatâs my good little slutâ he teased.
He let go of my hand and reached down with both hands to push my thighs into my chest. I cried out as the new position hit my G-spot and I saw stars. Within seconds, the band snapped in my stomach and I was screaming daddy repeatedly.
âThatâs it, you little cunt, cum all over my cock.â He grunted before pulling out and flipping me over on my stomach. He straddled my thighs, pulled my butt up, and shoved himself back into me. I moaned as the new position let him hit deeper. I grabbed the headboard needing to ground myself, as the drugs and orgasm made me feel like I was floating away.
He wrapped his arm around my neck, putting me in a chokehold, snapping his hips into me at such an ungodly pace. I could already feel another release coming. The drugs had all my senses turned up to an eleven, the burning in my stomach, the tingling in my core, the pleasurable pain every time he hit my cervix. I felt that if I had another orgasm, I would fly off into outer space.
âSâtoo much, daddyâ I whine, trying to push on his stomach. âI canât do itâ
He slapped my hand away and smacked my thigh hard, making me cry out.
âYou will take everything I give you. Youâre my little cum slut now and you will obey meâ he grunted. He grabs my arm and jerks them around behind my back, grabbing both wrists with one hand. With his other hand, he grabs hair and uses both as leverage to fuck me harder.
All you could hear in the room were my âuh-uhsâ and our skin slapping together. I was close as my walls begin to flutter around his cock, but he was too as I felt his hips stutter.
âYou better cum before me or youâre outta luck,â he panted. âWeâre not here for your pleasure, only mine.â He taunts as he speeds up getting closer to his release.
I manage to wrestle one of my hands free and reach down to rub my clit. The added stimulation almost instantly makes me fall over the edge, I scream out and clamp down on Rafeâs dick. My body convulses as I have the strongest release of my life, but the E in my system causes me to keep cumming tears falling down my cheeks as I canât stop.
âJesus Fuckâ Rafe gasps, âYouâre clenching so tight I can barely move.â
He forces his cock in and out of me as he pants and grunts. Slamming into me one more time, I feel his seed shoot out against my walls.
âfuckfuckfuckfuckfuckâ he hisses. He slowly thrust back into me a few times before pulling out and flip me over. I was essentially a rag doll by this point.
âOops canât have any Daddyâs juices spilling out can we?â he smirks, shoving two fingers in me pushing his cum back in me. I whimpered and grabbed his wrist.
âStop, too sensitiveâ I whimper out.
âStop being a whiny slutâ he sneers before slapping my pussy a few times. I cry out, tears running down my cheeks. He reaches for his phone and takes a picture of me.
âWhat the fuckâ I snap.
âI need something to jerk off to when youâre not aroundâ
He shows me the picture. I look royally fucked out, mascara and tears running down my cheeks, lipstick smeared all over my face, bruises and hickeys around my neck and chest. He grabs my phone and tosses it to me.
âUnlock itâ he demands.
I do without any argument. He puts his number on and sends himself a text, so that he has my number.
âWhen I call, I expect you to answer and come to meâ he demands coldly. âIf you donât, then the whole island will know your just my cum slut and enjoy it. I have evidence.â he grins.
I nod, knowing he had me, because the thought of the pogues, especially JJ finding out made me sick to my stomach. He tossed my shorts and some tshirt he found to me.
âNow youâre gonna get dressed, go back to the party and act like nothing happened. Your hickeys were from some random touran.â He instructed. âThe whole time you pine over JJ, my cum will be seeping out of your cunt. Oh, and clean your face up.â
I move slowly getting off the bed. I get dressed and head to the en suite bathroom. I look at myself in the mirror and start to cry. I splash water on my face, cleaning myself up, the whole-time sobbing.
Rafe comes in the bathroom and stares at me for a minute. I turn to face him and he smacks me on the cheek, not hard enough to bruise, but enough to sting and leave his handprint.
âStop crying like a cunt,â he mocked me, âYou enjoyed it, I think I counted three orgasms from you?â
âIt was the drugsâ I argue.
âSure, sure. The explain why you were soaked before I gave you the E?â he asked.
Iâm looked away cause I had no answer, at least not one I was willing to admit.
âSâwhat I thought,â he smirked âNow get downstairs, before I change my mind and take you home, tie you up, and use you all night.â
I ran out of the bedroom and went downstairs, looking for my friends.
Walking around, I finally found John B and Sarah making out in a corner. Pope was in another room trying to woo a girl with coroner talk, the poor girl looked scared for her life. The last room I walked into, JJ and Kie were on a couch, Kie in JJâs lap making out. My friends, wait no family, didnât seem to have missed me.
I walked into the kitchen and made me a drink and walked outside to one of the patio chairs. My phone dinged with a message.
Remember our deal and no one finds out. Although with as worried as they were for you, not sure they would seem to care.
I downed my drink and got up to get another one, tears running down my cheeks.
How the fuck did I get in this situation and what was I gonna do. All knew was I hated Rafe Cameron and I would find a way out.

Tips for building immersive plots
1. Start with your core idea
⢠Every plot begins with a sparkâa question, a concept, or a character. Build from that seed.
⢠How? Ask, "What excites me about this story?" and focus your energy there.
⢠Example: A story about a magical curse could explore themes of redemption or betrayal.
2. Brainstorm freely
⢠Donât start by thinking about structure. Instead, write down every idea you haveâplot points, character traits, world detailsâwithout judgment.
⢠How? Use mind maps, lists, or âwhat ifâ questions to expand your ideas.
⢠Example: âWhat if two rival kingdoms were forced to unite to stop a shared enemy?â
3. Map out key events
⢠Divide your plot into beginning, middle, and end, and identify major turning points. These events should shape the characterâs journey.
⢠How? Use the three-act structure, or simply think in terms of setup, confrontation, and resolution.
⢠Example:
Beginning: A thief steals a sacred artifact.
Middle: The artifact begins to curse them, forcing them to seek help.
End: They must choose between keeping the artifactâs power or destroying it.
4. Plan with cause and effect
⢠Immersive plots follow logical progression. Ask yourself: âWhat happens because of this event?â for every key moment.
⢠How? Make sure each event impacts the characters or world.
⢠Example: A hero saves a village â the village leader reveals a secret about the heroâs past â this drives the hero to confront their estranged parent.
5. Flesh out your subplots
⢠Subplots add depth and make your world feel real. Tie them to the main plot for maximum impact.
⢠How? Use subplots to explore secondary characters, add emotional stakes, or introduce twists.
⢠Example: While on a mission to defeat a villain, the hero struggles to repair their broken friendship with their ally.
6. use story beats to stay organized
⢠Break your story into smaller moments: inciting incident, midpoint twist, climax, resolution.
⢠How? Write one sentence for each beat to outline the flow of your story.
⢠Example:
Inciting incident: A cursed item bonds to the protagonist.
Midpoint: They discover the curse is tied to a powerful enemy.
Climax: They must sacrifice their freedom to destroy the curse.
7. Think of immersive twists
⢠Twists keep readers engaged and make your story unforgettable. They should feel earned, not random.
⢠How? Ask, "What would surprise the reader but make sense in hindsight?"
⢠Example: The mentor helping the hero turns out to have caused the conflict in the first place.
8. Build emotional stakes
⢠Plot isnât just about eventsâitâs about how those events affect your characters. The stakes should feel deeply personal.
⢠How? Tie the plot to your protagonistâs fears, desires, and growth.
⢠Example: A hero whoâs afraid of failure is forced to lead a mission where the cost of failure is catastrophic.
9. Create a planning routine
⢠Writing immersive plots takes time and refinement. Set aside regular sessions to brainstorm, refine, and test your ideas.
⢠How? Use tools like storyboarding, sticky notes, or apps like Scrivener to organize your ideas.
⢠Example: Start each session by reviewing your previous notes, then tackle one section of your plot.
10. Test your plot
⢠Once youâve mapped out your story, summarize it to see if it holds together. Does each event flow logically? Are the stakes clear?
⢠How? Share your outline with a friend or writerâs group for feedback.
⢠Example: âA reluctant hero must destroy a magical artifact to save their world, but doing so will cost them their memories.â

My Top 10 Batgirl (2000) Moments
This is my list of top 10 Batgirl (2000) moments!! There were so many to choose from, but these are my personal favs :)). Counting down from 10 to my absolute favourite.
10. Volving
An absolute classic. Perfectly encapsulates what Cass does throughout the entire run, and more writers should play with Cass' use of language like this!
9. Beat Up Every Mob In Gotham
Perfect encapsulation of the early Barbara-Cass dynamic, and one of the funniest moments in the series. Just love the expressions and the way this shows so much of Cass' character.
8. Choosing to Write
The entirety of issue #2 builds up to this heart-wrenching moment. After delivering a dead man's final message to his wife, Cass sees the wife's reaction to the written message and decides to learn to write. A foundational moment for her character, and a nice motherly Babs scene too.
7. Alpha Redemption
Capping off issues 35 + 36, Batgirl unmasks herself to convince Alpha (an amnesiac villain) that he doesn't have to be defined by his past. Brilliantly displays her core belief that people can change, and the fact that her belief pays off makes this moment extremely moving.
6. For God's Sake
Possibly a controversial pick, but I really like this moment because it underscores some of the fundamental conflict between Babs and Cass. They love each other, but they don't always understand each other, particularly in regards to each other's disabilities. A painful moment that should have been explored more.
5. Fight For Your Life
My favourite Stephanie and Cass moment in this run. You can feel Cass' grief throughout this hallucination, but there's also so much hope and love (for Stephanie and for herself). It's an amazing conclusion to Cass' initial suicidal tendencies: instead of desiring death, she now actively fights to live.
4. Darknight Detectives
This interaction sums up a lot of Bruce and Cass' best moments. Cass' unwavering moral beliefs, Bruce's pride, their instinctive understanding of each other; they just get each other in a way few others do. I picked this one instead of the 'instinct/good answer' moment because it also marks Cass' development in her detective ability. From Moment 8 above to here, the confidence in her mental capacities has grown so much. She really volved!
3. Perfect For A Year
I mean of course this had to be here. These lines literally take up 90% of my brain space, it's an incredibly tense moment that illustrates Cass' desire to be perfect, her need to be useful and good. This issue is also just awesome.
2. You're... Not
Another absolute classic. Illustrates Cass' compassion and her belief that people aren't defined by their lineage, which is particularly personal to her, given her own dad. This struggle between good/bad, parent/child defines many of Cass' best stories.
1. Who Do You Think You Are? + Father's Day
What else would number 1 be?? Issue 33 is my favourite in the entire run, and the entire thing is stacked with moments that could fill up this list. I just love 'who do you think you are' because it's all of Cass' rage spilling out, and yet she still loves David Cain in her own complicated way (and he reciprocates, too). Then we have the ending, which is the BEST Bruce and Cass moment ever. The sparse, meaningful dialogue, the expressions, the reveal of the TITLE: comic book writing at its finest.
Honorary mention to the Shiva/Cass fight, which just narrowly missed out.

When 20 year old Danny moved into gotham for Space Engineer University, his apartment that was set up thanks to Sam had exploded due to a super villain. (joker)
Leaving Danny's only available apartment that was stuck to a seedy part of Gotham. Nobody didn't told him that most of Gotham's waters that wasn't from the rich area was very very pollution with nasty rancid junk ectoplasm.
Ellie and Dan were with him due to a core accident with a forgotten fenton trap that hadn't been torn down yet, but they were now 4 and 6 years old physically and mentally until The medicine Frostbite specifically made for them to take every once a month, help their core regained the loss energy to reform back to their natural state later.
Luckily he had the fenton ectoplasm water pipes filter to throughly clean out the nasty junk to turn back into normal pure ectoplasm mixed water which was a bit light greenish blue to the normal person's eyes but glowing green to liminals, ghosts and halfas. Though he had to sneakily goes transport down in the sewer to fixes those rusty ol pipes, made a undead zombie friend whom seem to be trapped in a terrible limbo of saying a repeated phase.
Then danny felt a bit terrible that some of the neighborhoods also had the same problems with the pipes. Whom is the mayor to not investigate this much rusty pipes that had a a few thousands spirits and feral blob ghosts of the deceased not properly buried!?!
Seeing sick looking children outside with a bad case of slow bad ectoplasm poisoning jerk at his slow beating heart. He knew that if it goes on, there is going to be enough corrupted ectoplasm to cause a lminals to go completely crazy with enough mixed dark ghostly intentions and territorial issues from the restless spirits (a certain leader of assassin sneezed)
The protection mixed space core in him was nearly feral at this point of all the harm that had been done to the people of gotham before Danny gave in, called in his parents to sent him a couple hundred of fenton ectoplasm water pipe filters and grab emergency fenton shovel smacker to start building proper graves for the restless spirits..
By next three month, just looking at his window to see the street kids playing outside actually acting like children, looking more healthy and lively, the anemic lady next door who just had a baby seem more calm and friendly instead of paranoid and scared when he first met her with a package of freshly baked fenton Brownies.
He had almost replaced 3/5 of gothams rusty ol waters pipes, had made nearly 10 thousands Graves more then what he had expected after diving deep in the Gotham's oceans, lakes, ponds, and abandoned public pools.
So far that Gotham has gotten a positive effect when the first morning of August came in, as that the Gotham's news went viral as the black smog clouds that mostly covered Gotham's skies had parted to reveal a beautiful sky along side with incredible decreased in Crimes in certain parts of gothams.
Only for Danny to arrived into his Apartment to see Gotham's City Spirit, who was absolutely jaw dropping gorgeous sitting on his Couch with Dan and ellie chatting her ears off.
Meanwhile a certain bat fam are becoming more and more anxious as the decreased in crimes at night became to the point that tim is becoming more paranoid then gollum from the rings, damian is becoming nearly feral with the lack of criminals to beat upon, dick is actually enjoying the break, dick had been commenting on the lovely colors that gotham had been getting lately, and Jason haven't contact them in weeks ago until last Friday coming by for Dinner feeling and seemingly like the ol Robin he once was before that Bruce had actually ugly cried clinging to him when Jason hugged him.
#dpxdc#dc x dp#danny phantom#dp x dc#dp x dc crossover#dc x dp prompt#dcxdp#danny is the ghost king#danny fixed Gotham's nasty water pipes#accidentally fixing Lady Gotham's ectoplasm blockage#she gotten stronger and less sickly#that crime decreased#the bat fam are panicking and having a breakthrough at the same time#the leader of league of assassins are freaking out when his own entire assassins army rebelled against him#jason got cured unawared that Gotham's water got purifed which kills the pits inside#de aged dan#de aged ellie

Yandere batfam x reader part 4!
The cafe, Little Spoon, was extraordinarily quiet for this time of day; last time you had been the line had been out the door to get a drink, let alone sit at the tables and enjoy a meal. Yet, you supposed the complete lack of jobs and the constant villain attacks had created the perfect storm to kill most small businesses. In that light, you were happy such a small cafe was able to stay open, especially with the encroaching giants in the area. Sitting at the table, picking at your bagel with your head down, you felt shame. Having dumped your entire life story out for TIm and Jason to pick at, you felt weirdly hollow.
It felt like someone had scooped out your insides with a dull spoon, and you stared despondent down at your mangled bagel. Jason was texting again, and Tim was staring into the distance, lost in thought. You got the feeling you were the subject of his reverie. It felt weird, seeing them both so lost in their own worlds, especially after the intense way they had stared as you explained your reasoning behind choosing their family.
You didnât know what to do now, and shame radiated through your core at facing the victims of your crime face to face. No matter how much you had apologized, and how much they had promised they didnât mind, it still felt hollow, like you wouldnât ever be able to make up for what youâd done.
âWell, I sicked Barbara on your landlord; if heâs got any dirt, sheâll dig it up.â Jason sighed as he plopped his phone down on the table, leaning back in his chair. âItâs probably a mafia connection. Weâll have to alert the ⌠authorities.â Tim pondered, still half lost in thought and staring out the window. The idea of your landlord, the very one who had indirectly put you in this situation, and who you still hadnât seen, having some sort of criminal connection had never crossed your mind; you couldnât believe it was even possible. Hell, it was the type of thing to happen in film, not in real life! Yet, the more you thought about it, the more it made sense; it would explain the constant patrolling from the bats the last little while, you supposed. You stared at Timâs face in profile, noticing the sharp turn of his thin, high nose and his full, pink lips. You couldnât believe you were soulbound, destined to have some sort of relationship that only time would reveal. You werenât sure what your next steps were, but you felt guilty enough to do whatever Tim and Jason would suggest.
Jason abruptly stood up, making meaningful eye contact with Tim. âHey, Iâll get you a coffee. Want anything else to eat besides that poor bagel?â He questioned you, a half-smile gracing his chiseled face. You shook your head mutely, unwilling to ask for even more. Besides, you werenât feeling hungry, the anxiety killing any appetite you may have. Tim had turned to look back out the window, so you occupied yourself with glancing around the small room. The only other customer was a young Asian woman, maybe mid-twenties, with choppy black hair ending at the nape of her neck and flaming her face in floaty whisps. She was looking down at her phone, small mouth upturned into a smile, with her chocolatey dark eyes locked onto her screen. She was giggling slightly, evidently at the response from whoever she was texting.
As you attempted to get a closer look at her screen, both out of boredom and curiosity, Jason crossed your line of sight and sat a large porcelain cup and saucer in front of you. âHere,â he started, âItâs hazelnut. Drink up, then we can leave for the manor so you can meet the othersâ. You took a small sip as he sat down, looking behind you toward the door.Â
âIâm sorry, I donât really feel comfortable going to the manor. I canât impose on your family, not after everything I didâŚâ You responded, taking another sip of the rich, thick drink. Jason huffed playfully, rolling his eyes and smiling. âI told you itâs fine. You arenât the first and you wonât be the last, but youâre definitely the cutest,â He smirked as you hiked your shoulders toward your ears in embarrassment. âListen, the least you can do is meet the others. Iâm sure theyâd love to get to know you for who you really are, theyâve been curious for ages,â Tim turned toward you, staring earnestly into your eyes and gently gripping your free hand.Â
âI⌠I donât knowâŚâ You said hesitantly, pausing to take a large sip of the drink and glance out the window. What did you have waiting for you? Your apartment was empty and the neighbors werenât exactly great company as of late, and the constant rejection while looking for work was definitely taking its toll. You yawned, overcome with a wave of sudden exhaustion. Your adrenaline must have crashed after it spiked earlier, you supposed. Through the fog of the exhaustion, you found yourself nodding along to their gentle affirmations as they led you out to the car that was now parked in front of the cafe. If you were more conscious, you wouldâve questioned it, but the exhaustion wiped you out and you ended up passed out, laid over Timâs lap as he ran his hand down your back and whispered reassurances.
Getting in the car was the final mistake that sealed your fate.

AGATHA ALL ALONG DEEP DIVE: episode 1 part 1
(Wandavision entries: [1][2][3])
(AAA entries: ep1 [1][2][3][4] ep2 [1][2][3][4] ep3 [1][2][3] ep4 [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][+1] ep5 [1][2][3][4][5] ep6 [1][2][3] ep7 [1][2][3][4][5][6] ep8 [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9] ep9 [1][2][3][4][5][6])
IT'S TIME TO REWATCH AGATHA ALL ALONG, WITCHES! And as usual, spoilers below.
episode 1, Seekest Thou The Road
Wanda is dead (no she ain't). As a result, her spell is weakened and Agatha has changed from her nosy neighbor character to detective Agnes (or caught the true crime bug, as Herb will put it.)
Stinky grimy Agnes, so serious and depressed. As soon as she appears onscreen she's humming the Ballad.
Detective Agnes has just been recalled to action after being off duty for a while. She was punished for "punching a suspect", which is code for going after Wanda. Agnes points out that now the suspect is a convicted felon, i.e. that she was right after all and Wanda is dangerous and evil. "I can't be right and wrong" she says. "Yes, you can" says Herb, because both Agatha and Wanda are villain and victim. And lol at the police tape symbolizing Herb's fence. You know the poor guy is in his garden looking down at Agnes in her Bonher family tshirt, wondering what the hell is going on.
oh that's a seriously good shot
Agatha looks heartbroken when she sees Wanda's body, doesn't she? She looks so sorry.
Herb (the real Herb behind the illusion) confirms that Agatha is acting different than usual.
THIRD TIME SHE DISCREETLY DRIES HER TEARS
There is nothing funny about Detective Agnes. Or rather, it's funny to watch her because she's so intense, but we laugh at her, she's not being a clown on purpose like Agatha usually is. And Agatha right now is in a lot of pain, even more than usual having completely lost her agency. This character so unkempt, so sad, so doggedly searching for answers, is more true to Agatha's real self than what she usually lets people see. Deep down she's just a tragic lesbian wet rat.
Somebody called in to have the body found, and I think that somebody was Rio. Why would the body be next to the water otherwise? It's like the River of Life laid her gently where Agatha could find her. In other words, Wanda's death brought her to Agatha. I'm curious about these woods too, we know they don't actually exist as this is all in Agatha's head, but where did the idea come from? Are these the woods where she killed the Salemites? Where she gave birth to Nicky? Or where she buried him?
Agatha's victims from the finale flashing throughout the opening. Wherever it may bend, I'll see you at the end.
"based on the danish series WANDAVISDYEN" never fails to destroy me. and it's so clever too, it's like they're telling first time watchers that yes, this seems like a grim detective show, but you clever audiences know that things are not as they seem and this is a parody, right?? this is not serious at all, it's funny! Laugh! Except. It's not funny. It's not funny at all. And you're going to realize only when it's too late. It's the same thing they do with Sharon/Mrs. Hart, they lure you in with laughs only to hit you with heartbreak. This show is not a comedy at all. It's at its very core a senseless tragedy.
Sarah/Dottie lives next door too, was Agatha talking to her through a window, or does the library desk symbolize another fence? This poor woman, hasn't she suffered enough? But they all more or less try to help Agnes, that's sweet. Has anyone from SWORD or whomever dropped in to talk to them, did the Avengers just decide to leave Agatha there? Did Monica (or Ralph) even explain to the poor people of Westview that she's a witch, or do they just think she's a random neighbor who couldn't be saved from Wanda's Hex?
THE MAILMAN CONTINUES BEING SUSPICIOUS. Is Agatha putting words in his mouth, or was he (the "messanger") sent by someone to warn her about the Darkhold being destroyed???
her FACE when she sees Rio
and the way Rio just stares and stares. When you rewatch this scene knowing that this is the first time she gets to see Agatha in centuries... and she has to be cool and she has to be gentle. I think it's deliberate that they put Phil/Harold/Ross Geller in here, because he's one of the funniest people in Westview and it's suggesting a first time viewer to read this scene as a comedy. Except it's a cosmic tale of tragedy and heartbreak, but you're not supposed to notice yet, even if it's right there under your nose.
Stop being such a lone wolf, Agnes. Or rather, stop being such a sad and lonely covenless witch, Agatha.
Rio laughs her delighted little laugh, licks her lips, looks out the window for a moment as if overwhelmed, then goes back looking at Agatha and basically devouring her with her eyes. ("te veo.") (thank you for my life aubrey plaza.) Agatha stares daggers back, but her body language stars getting defensive. She feels very vulnerable.
Yep, defensive. And wistful.
She is doing her job, like always. But she's also going above and beyond. There is technically no need for her to wake Agatha up, but here she is, dropping gentle clues, guiding her with such patience and care.
"If you wanna be in control you can be" is said in such a kind tone, but it's also sexy?? I think Rio really likes for Agatha to take control, in a lot of ways. Her body language is the opposite of what Agatha is doing too.
Oh noes she's making herself so small now. She's like, intrigued and angry and happy and scared to see Rio. They're both being so tentative!! And she doesn't actually know who Rio is because she's under the damn spell, so her body language and feelings are pure instinct. They come from somewhere very very true and deep. (and LOL that mug says "get a clue")
Is this who you are now, Agatha? the intense but lonely detective? she's genuinely interested, because Rio investigates Agatha just as Agatha investigates everybody else. Rio simply cannot get enough of her. and she keeps talking with this gentle, warm, understated tone.
Gains personal space. Keeps staring and staring.
oh now we're leaning. they do this every scene they are together, they keep getting closer and closer even if they don't mean to, like magnets.
Agatha literally bolts to the door and tells her to leave. Rio's presence is so overwhelming in so many different and complicated ways, and she doesn't even understand why that is at the moment. Kathryn Hahn is playing this perfectly straight (no pun intended), there is genuine pain in her voice.
"Te veo", which is not "see you," but I see you, I'm always looking for you, I'm always watching. And I finally see you, after all this time.
Oh, honey.
I'm running out of space again, but I promise I'll continue this tomorrow. Thank you for all the notes you guys, I was not expecting so many! I'm doing this mostly to amuse myself, but it's nice to know that the brainrot is collective đđđ

F! Yuuâs Dad in Twst Wonderland Headcanons pt. 2
Pt.1 Pt.3 Pt.4
Heartslabyul, Octavinelle, Scarabia, and Pomefiore are genuinely the only dorms that respect your dad.
Savannaclaw keeps trying to fight him with the exception of Jack, Ruggie, and Leona.
Ignihyde fears your father. Mainly because your father thinks Idia is some form of a perverted weirdo.
đŚ: Yuu, that weird boy is looking at you and your cat again.
đŽ: Please let me touch your catâŚ
đŚ:âŚ.Iâm going to give you five minutes to get away from us.
Meanwhile, Diasomnia, is still amused your dad tried to beat up Malleus.
The core emotions and feelings of Diasomnia towards Yuuâs dad is the following:
Malleus: Amused and now takes gaining any sort of relationship with you as a challenge
Silver: A bit wary of your dad but still gets why heâs so protective over you
Sebek: Wants to beat him up for threatening Malleus and thinks he can win
Lilia: As a father he understands and is probably going to tell Malleus not to purposefully irritate your father for his own good.
After witnessing Riddleâs overblot, your father is convinced on staying at the Isle Sageâs hotel
Or maybe trying RSA
Whatever option comes first.
In fact, he actually tried to bolt out of NRC after the Savannaclaw overblot.
đŚ: Yuu! Yuu! Yuu, listen to me! These kids are not right in the head. A hyena furry boy was using magic to control peopleâs bodies so they fall down the stairs. For a school tournament! And the lion furry man, BY THE WAY, he is 20! He tried to turn everyone into sand!
đŚ: Dad, please, theyâre my friends and I give them comfort. Plus Riddle and Leona were having a mental health crisis.
đŚ: These kids are serial killers or murders in the making! We shouldâve ran when we found out they worshipped Disney villains!
You end up running out of NRC with your father with Grim, and by the time morning came, someone has already found you.
âĽď¸: Yo. I heard Yuu was staying here now.
đŚ: How did you find us?
âĽď¸: UmâŚI had a bit of helpâŚmore like magic spell really.
Deuce, Epel, Jack, Silver, and Sebek step out from behind Ace.
đŚ: *Sigh* Look, I get we teleported into your school, but we really donât need to stay there-
đŚ: Dad, canât I attend school there until we go home? Itâs perfect.
đŚ: They literally donât even have a girls bathroom for you to use.
đŚ: Doesnât matter. I can use the bathroom when no one is in there.
Then things heat up when Malleus appears.
đ: There you are, Child of Man. Iâve been looking for you everywhere.
đŚ: Let me guess, you didnât see her inside her room when you floated by? Like you usually do when you think no one notices?
đ: Child of Man, would you like to go to my gargoyles club meeting? Itâs really only me, but together we can bring more people.
đŚ: That is the worst lie for a date Iâve ever heard. Also, her name is Yuu not Child of Man. And this Man is named F/N. Besides, we still donât know your actually name Hornyton.
The mocking of the nickname Yuu picked out for him causes him to get upset. Which inadvertently activated the fairy tale fae behavior.
đ: You know, a name is a very important thing to give away. If I give my name to you, you must give something to me.
đŚ: You realize I can just break into Crowleyâs office and get your school records or just ask anyone what your name is, right?
đ: Perhaps, your daughter might be something of equal value to give. My name for a girl with an otherworldly name. I assure you Iâll treat her well if you give her to-
Your dad punches Malleus square in the nose and KOs him.
âĄď¸: WAKA-SAMA!
â¤ď¸&â ď¸: Damn.
đĄď¸: I told him not to make being in a relationship with Yuu a challenge.
đ: Nice right hook.
đş: What good form.
Your dad shuts the door, and packs up your stuff again.
You move back into Ramshackle the next day, but this time thereâs iron hanging around the doors and windows.

BILLY BATSON WEEK 2025
Itâs that time of the year again! 2025 marks the 85th Anniversary of Billy Batson as Captain Marvel debuting in Whiz Comics #2, the first official cover-dated issue released February 1940.*
A brief history In December of 1939, children at newsstands were picking up a particular issue with the cover of a flying man dressed in red, effortlessly lifting a car overhead. Bill Parker, senior editor at Fawcett Comics during this time, had developed a new kind of superhero: Billy Batson is a young orphan boy who transforms into a powerful champion named Captain Marvel at the drop of the word âSHAZAM!â He fights crime against notable villains together with a memorable cast of heroes he calls âfamily.â
A few years past their heyday, Fawcett Publications endured troubling legal problems that put their sales in jeopardy, eventually settling their dragging copyright case with National Comics Publications (predecessor of modern-day DC Comics) and putting Captain Marvel to rest indefinitely. The Captainâs return to comics happened in late 1972 under DC Comics, a run which the original artist C.C. Beck had worked on for only a year. Ever since, Billy Batson and his counterpart have appeared in many different iterations in many different comics, one of the only memories still enduring from a time already passed.
NOSTALGIA
The role of an archive is to make nostalgia obsolete. [...] Every comic book page is, like a work of scholarship, an act of recovery, or at times a dream in which nothing is ever lost, as past, present, and future make room for each other and exist in harmony. Studied carefully, a fanzine or a comic book, like Billyâs Historama, might reveal several lifetimes to us, one generation after another of names, faces, and stories. The art of nostalgia is figuring out which one to tell next.
â Captain Marvel and the Art of Nostalgia, Brian Cremins
This yearâs overall theme is NOSTALGIA. Take this as you might, for however you interpret nostalgiaâperhaps a reflection on your own personal narrative with Billy Batson, or an exploration between him and his own massive history, be it in-universe or with real life pop culture. You might even disregard the day-to-day prompts below and dedicate yourself to nostalgia thematically for the entire week! How youâd like to work with it is up to you.
Day 1 â February 23, 2025 HOLY HISTORAMA
The Historama, similar to a crystal ball, is described as Shazam the Wizardâs âsuper-television screen,â of which he may use to see the past, present, and future. In later iterations, it presents itself as a book or object that displays any scene through time and, possibly, space. On this day, you might center the Historama itself, or explore any scenes of Billyâs history from any time or place.
Day 2 â February 24, 2025 THE BOY OF ARTHURIAN LEGEND
Bill Parker, when asked to describe his inspiration for Captain Marvel, once said, âSpecifically I got it from the Stories of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, stories with which I had been familiar and read as a child.â
At its core, the story of Billy Batson as Captain Marvel was a story about old wizards, spells, myths, and secretsâelements which children center their greatest fantasies and perhaps still carry with them throughout adulthood. Use this day to commemorate Billy Batson as a fulfilled fantasy, maybe as a knight facing dragons in some faraway world or a space-wandering sailor, the wildest childhood dream come true.
Day 3 â February 25, 2025 SWEET HOME FAWCETT
This prompt is simply Fawcett: Fawcett Comics and their previous publications, possibly outside of Captain Marvel and friends, or Fawcett the city as depicted in the DC Comics iterations, home base of Billy and Captain Marvel.
Day 4 â February 26, 2025 RETURN OF THE CHAMPION
Across his storied history, Captain Marvel has faced many setbacks in his journey back to comic book stands: previous lawsuits and settlements, harried DC Comics events, logistical decisions made behind closed doors. However many times heâs put on the back burner, Captain Marvel still manages to return in a triumph. We will see him again in fleeting appearances, celebrated homecomings, maybe a long-awaited reunion...
Day 5 â February 27, 2025 THE WORLD HE LIVES IN
It is of note that, while Fawcett Comics held onto its hero as long as they could for the first few years, the DC Comics universe is where Billy and the Captain have held their homeâfor over fifty consecutive years. Use this as a day to reflect on Billyâs past DC universe adventures, from teams heâs been on to events heâs partaken in.
Day 6 â February 28, 2025 A MARVELOUS FAMILY
Billy Batsonâs not the only one with a candle to blow. Mary Marvel debuted in 1942, while Captain Marvel Junior had appeared much earlier, in 1941. Their contributions to the stories of Captain Marvel have been monumental in immortalizing his place as a beloved hero with weight and history. They are also deeply adored by Billy himself. Have this day to celebrate family, for each Marvel Family member who has added to the menagerie over the years, or to simply center Mary and Freddy and their own achievements.
Day 7 â March 1, 2025 HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BILLY
Happy Birthday Billy Batson! Give him a cake. Give him a balloon. Give him a present. Tell him how much you appreciate him. He is eighty-five years old. He looks timeless! Is the secret the amber from the Sivana suspendium?
This is a free day, open for anything.
How to participate On Tumblr (and elsewhere, if desired), use the hashtags #billybatsonweek and #bb85week simultaneously so that others might see and engage with your work. Late entries are always, always welcome. Iâll be sure to reblog all entries inside the tags for archival reasons, so please donât hesitate to tag my blog!

*FOOTNOTE: Captain Marvel/Billy Batson celebrated his genuine 85th Anniversary December 2024, a date which acknowledges his original on-the-shelves debut in December of 1939. The cover date used in this character celebration week corresponds with what DC Comics used in their 75th Anniversary year count.

Like Animals.
kinktober day 4: sex pollen.
includesâ hawks x reader. minors dni. smut
warningsâ afab!reader. dubcon (sex pollen/heats, but both have been pining like idiots). breeding if you squint.
keigo's beloved crush sidekick gets hit with the unluckiest quirk possible. he quickly discovers his rut suppressants ain't shit.
Through all the horrors and adverse life events Keigo has endured in this line of workâ brutal near-assassinations, negotiations with international crime syndicates, purchasing sugar-free canned coffee with Splenda substitute by mistake before his morning shiftâ he has always been able to find a silver lining in the darkest of moments.Â
Which makes it infinitely more concerning that for the first time in his life, he nearly whines through his teeth the words, "why me?"Â
A palm drags once down his face, thumb and index finger pulling down his darkened eye bags. His hand collects the beads of sweat and stops to rest over his mouth.Â
He supposes this must be his penance for taking a risk and trusting faulty intel.Â
Keigo's informant told him the villain he and his darling sidekick were meeting would have a limited-ranged fire quirk, so the diligent hero stuffed ointment and cold packs in his pockets before leaving just in case.Â
If he had known the villain was a plant heteromorph and possessed a heat-inducing mist quirk instead, and that the person he was hopelessly in love with had a bit of a crush on would be caught in the direct line of fire?Â
He would have brought a paper bag to hyperventilate into instead. And some prayer beads. The god to which the prayer is delivered doesn't necessarily matter, he thinks. He'd simply pick one and drop to his knees in a bid for mercy.
"I'm taking you to a medic," Keigo puts his foot down for the fourth time this evening.Â
"Fuck no," you groan from the couch, shifting to squeeze your thighs together. It offers not even a modicum of relief from the incessant throb. "Do you want my cause of death to be humiliation? Is that your plan, genius? 'S bad enough as it is that you're here."Â
The subtext is unspoken, but clear to him through your adorable pout: I only trust you to see me like this.
It's unlucky that the man you've had the most innapropriate-for-work crush on for the better part of two years happened to be the one beside you that day. And it's just your sorry luck, you lament, that Keigo would also be the one to catch you, to fly you home cradled in his painfully capable arms, to refuse to leave your side and insist on making his favorite chicken soup for you in a desperate flail of support.Â
He'd respect your decision and leave, should you ask him to. You know that. And yet the humbling truth gnaws at your pride: doing so wouldn't do much to save your image at this point. Heâs already seen you like this, you grumble. The proverbial cat has long since escaped the bag, waltzing its way over to rub its purring body against Keigoâs leg to your abject horror.
If you close your eyes, you can attempt to trick your brain into thinking this affliction is a flu of some kind.Â
Yes, this is just some common cold. You're wearing nothing but your work partner's shirt (your clothes were contaminated by the quirk's dust, Keigo explained, speaking in that strict work mode voice that makes you picture your mouth stuffed and drooling somewhere beneath his desk and between his spread legs). You pull the damned fabric down over your core as you try your hardest to not writhe in fits of pleasure underneath the blankets, rubbing your thighs together for any friction against your swollen clit.
All symptoms of an affliction of the flu, of course.Â
You don't need to reach down and touch to know the slick would string those thighs together, should you attempt to pull them apart.Â
Keigo knows that, too. But he doesn't say anything about it.Â
You would be mortified if you were aware of the truth.Â
That he knows everything.
Keigo knows exactly how you ache; like you're constantly on the precipice of an orgasm, perpetually ablaze from the heavy heat scorching your body from its surface to the boiling core.Â
You try to suppress your glee as he spoon feeds you the broth, reminding yourself that this is just what good friends do for each other.
Friends coo praises at each other when they swallow, friends tilt each other's chins up with one finger and mutter things like thatâs a good dove and you can take another as they watch their throat bob in tandem.Â
Friends shiver from their wingtips down their spine when they pull the spoon back. They let their gaze linger for just a second on those lips that open wide, aching to touch with their own.
Ever the gentleman, Keigo stays lowered to his haunches and places one hand over your forehead to check for a fever, redirecting his focus toward taking inventory of your vitals. He doesn't wince when he hears your moan at the contact, even though the pitiful sound pings at his weak points. His avian instincts remind him he needs to protect you, please you, take care of you; to make it go away, to fix that feeling he knows better than anyone is aching like a bruise between your thighs.Â
He doesn't allow his eyes to wander astray or trail their way downwards, especially when you're in such a vulnerable state; but his professional assessment is that if he could only wet his appetite, the flat of his tongue alone couldâÂ
He shakes his head and blows a puff to cool the soup, raising another spoonful to your lips.Â
"Here. Another. You need to keep your energy up," he reminds you, voice stern. It's nearly clinical and achieves the opposite of its desired effect.
Your heart rate picks up to thump at a steady, thrumming beat at the innocuous gesture of domesticity.Â
How have you never noticed how capable of a mate Keigo would beâŚ? Heâs all musculature and sincerity, sharp ridges at his knuckles and soft curves at the small of his waist where he only trusts you to touch.
You huff an involuntary moan.Â
He picks another god to praise that the couch you're laying on obscures his lower half.Â
Today, Keigo discovers his suppressants are only designed to reduce the chance of a rut being triggered. It brings the possibility of it starting in the first place to a comfortable near-zero, allowing him to carry out the spring and fall seasons as if he were entirely quirkless.
But if that rut passes through the blockers' biochemistry in, say, the event Keigo's luck rears its ugly head, for example⌠It does fuck all to reduce the actual symptoms.Â
More importantly than his own anguish, however, is this: his mate work partner got hurt because of himâ hurt being a stretch, he'd know if he weren't overthinking so much, given the blissed out panting just two feet away from him; but youâre probably suffering and it's all his fault. Itâs all because of an unlucky, once in a lifetime slip up from Keigo Takami himself, and he can't detangle himself from the guilt.
If drowning in the unexpected whirlpool that is his first rut in half a decade is his penance for the crime, then Keigo will hang his head and take it.
The huff he lets out is your last straw.
"I'm going to my room," you state, moving to leave like you left the stove on and are trying to avoid an upcoming house fire.
When his hand darts out to stop you, the touch against your shoulder sends shockwaves down your stomach.
He's touching you. He's taking such good care of you, feeding you, providing for you in his nest and now he's touching you?
It sends your hormones into overdrive.Â
You'd do well to conceal it, if his heightened instincts couldn't smell your desperation.Â
"I'm afraid it ain't that easy, dove," Keigo warns, eye contact averted. "I'd avoid doing that, if I were you."Â
He schools his expression, but not before you catch a flash of something hungry.Â
There's no chance in hell he's letting you out of his sight. Not like this. You're confined to the couch while he keeps an eye on you. Attempting to fix it yourself will only make the feeling unfathomably worse, something he tries to communicate to you with a look that only ends up making him look like a kicked puppy.
You squint right back when you process the implication of his words, eyes raking down his form in suspicion.Â
"How do you know all this, anyway," you ask.
Keigo goes silent, hand concealing his mouth.Â
Ah, it hits you.Â
Bird things.
Your head falls back against one of the numerous pillows your partner propped up behind you.
"The couch is soft," you murmur, situating yourself against the cushions and throw blankets he so carefully arranged. You trail your fingertips along a silk pillow. Keigo slams his eyes shut.
"Please don't say it like that."Â
"Why not?" Your lids droop, heat overtaking your better judgement. Tentatively, you play along the bounds. You allow your hands to run along the soft divots of the blanket covering your body, squeezing your chest and pinching the peaks. "It's like a little nest, isn't it?"Â
His hand drags down his face before pinching his nose bridge, suppressing a whine. "Baby, pleaseâ"Â
"You don't wanna join me?"
"You don't know what you're talking about. It's just the heat," Keigo tells himself more than you. "For the love of God, dove, stop talkingâ"
"But it hurts, Kei'." Itâs a low blow, judging by the protective coo that escapes his lips.Â
Fed up, he leans forward and swings his right leg over your hip, crawling atop you as if his body has a mind of its own, utterly bogged by desire and yanked like puppet strings.
With Keigo kneeling tall above you, the bodysuit of his hero costume hides absolutely nothing. The musculature is quite impressive, actually. Proof of his viability as a mateâ all dominant and masculine and gorgeous.
And at this angle, you can see the most painful erection straining against his pants.Â
"I need you, Kei'. I needâ mmph!"Â
A palm silences you; slapped down, hot, imposing, and heavy like a weight against your mouth.Â
The authority of the action makes your cunt clench; and Keigo would die before he lets that feeling go to waste, so his hips drop down to grind once against it.Â
Your eyes go wide, doughy and stunned, darting down in haste, following the trail of his thick bicep up toward the disciplinary scowl on his face.Â
His nostrils flare with the heaving in his chest, eyes screwed shut with his last slivers of patience holding its grip on his psyche.
"One more word," he says, pulling his hand away. "One more word and I'm ripping this blanket off and fucking you raw."Â
After a moment of silence, you speak.
"Please."Â
Keigo is wordless when he unbuckles his belt and lets itâ and his inhibitionsâ drop with a satisfying clink.
The reality of what you've gotten yourself into comes crashing down as it hits you how utterly fucked you are. The scaffolding of years of sexual tension comes crumbling down like bricks to rubble, a city of restraint reduced to pure, animalistic desire.Â
Years of Keigo's eyes darting away when you nonchalantly change into your uniform in front of him, even though he never seemed bothered by any of his other peers doing the same; years of you both curling in on yourselves at the furthest edges of the bed you had to share, cramped close in those under-the-radar motels on stealth missions; years of the words "idiot, can I kiss you," held back by your lips as you watch Keigo moan when he sinks his teeth into his comfort restaurant's chicken teriyaki every stupid Friday night, sitting cross-legged and at home on the carpet of your apartment floor.Â
Not a single word is exchanged as he pulls his cock free from its confines, nearly too thick for his fingers to meet when they wrap around it. He tosses the blanket to the side with haste, dragging your shirt (his shirt) up to your collar, exposing your chest when he lines his cock with your entrance.Â
"Please, Kei'," you sniffle. "Hurts."Â
"Oh, I know, baby... I know." His lips are pursed when he shushes you, tracing your cheek with his palm. "I'll make it go away."
When your lips meet, it's like static electricity; and it's entirely remorseless.
"Jesus fucking Christ," he groans against your mouth, dragging his length along your sticky thighs before plopping the thick of it atop your soaked cunt.Â
"You're so wet for me," he reveres in awe, dragging the plump tip through your mess to get it slick enough to rub against your clit.Â
Your rutting hips buck with impatience in an attempt to glide his length against your swollen pussy, but that only serves to fuel his desire; and those desperate little whines only feed into his insatiable need to fuck, to breed you until you're silent.Â
Until you shut the fuck up.Â
Those pathetic little sounds are music to his ears, a siren's song that used to play only in his most shameful fantasies; the ones that kept his fist tight around his cock the moment he returned home after missions, the sight of you panting and spitting blood after battle with a smile on your face still fresh in his memory.Â
Keigo wants to hear you moan.Â
But his rut needs to fuck you wordless with satisfaction.Â
"Oh, fuck," he hitches, shifting his hips back and forth to the tune of the audible shlicks below. Unable to stay upright any longer, his chest falls flush into yours in a rut-afflicted haze, rutting against you like animals.Â
When he slips his cock inside, it's with a kiss to muffle his voice.
And he wastes no time setting a punishing pace, aided nicely by the slickness that coats the sides of his cock. The legs of the couch surely must be scraping indents into the floorboards, judging by the creaks that mingle with the sounds of his belt buckle at every thrust. You'd notice if either of you were lucid enough to care.Â
It's a brief consideration of a possibility of an afterthought, like a sheepish voice behind a roaring crowd.Â
Pulling out, that is.Â
Yeah, if he were a stronger man, he could probably will his hips to stall. There's a chance someone far stronger than him would hiss when he does it. His cock would weep in denial of that sweet, velvet entanglement, dripping out in the cold when he fists himself to completion mere inches away from what might as well be the center of his goddamn universe.
But when it comes to you, when it comes to his rut, Keigo is not a strong man.
He allows his cock to throb in the vice of your cunt, instead.
"God, baby," he moans into your neck, wings flapping once, twice with each thrust, shedding a few feathers before straightening out and grazing the ceiling behind his back. "Baby. Oh, baby. You're so tight. You're soâ fuck!"
He's babbling, but so are you. Legs hooked across the small of his back, you bump your hips as best you can to aid in his efforts; and with your last shreds of lucidity, you decide for the both of you how things will end.Â
With watery lashes, you open your eyes enough to blink away some tears and clear your vision just enough. Your gaze crawls up his legs that are still clothed to the thighs, peeking over the curvature of his ass and up his shuddering spineâ all to mark onto your scarlet red prize.
When you entangle your fingers into the downy feathers at the base of his wings, it shoots straight to his cock and he spills.
With eyes wide open and a strangled choke at the back of his throat, Keigo's hips stutter when he empties himself. With every throb comes another rope from the tip, sticky and excessive from the rut, mixing with your wetness as you crash over the edge soon after.
When the ringing in your ears ceases and you finally come to, it's to the sight of your now probably-more-than-a-work-partner pulling out and staring between your legs as if under a trance, eyes glimmering.
"Kei', you okay?"
"Uh huh," he answers absentmindedly, utterly transfixed on the mess he made.Â
It's strange, he thinks. Whatever urges his rut transcribed into cravings, every instinct that tugged at the avian etched in his DNA and called him to fill you pales in comparison to the satisfaction of having indulged himself at last.
His eyes flick back to meet yours.
"Does this mean I can kiss you at work now?"Â
You snort. So that's where his mind goes in the end.
"It means a whole lot more than that," you say, rolling you both over so he lands square on his back.
