HAPPY BIRTHDAY HONEY <3!!!! i hope you had the best weekend ever mwahhhh

BATBOYS & YOUR BIRTHDAY

dick grayson

dick would go all out for your birthday to the point that it’s embarrassing. he’s telling everyone in his family, all of his friends, everybody that your day is coming up. of course the titans help him throw a party for you! they’re going to stores to get decorations, hanging them around your apartment with the spare key dick has. dick’s making all of your favorite food & apps, creating a lil menu for it all that’s messily made via microsoft word. even making a specialty cocktail for you & your friends to have (a drink that will def get you fucked up but tastes like your favorite juice).

he’s kissing you when you walk in the door with an arm slung over your shoulder, making a plate for you, doing everything that you’d need from him for the night.

and once everybody’s leaving, wally deciding on sleeping on your couch, dick’s locking your bedroom door and gently stripping you of your clothes. he’s done so much for you, but do you really think he’s not going to give you a finale?

the finale? rounds and rounds of head that dick’s perfected in his time dating you. long and slow stripes up your entrance to start, making you finish at the slower pace a time or two before he’s quickening his movements.

he lays down, grabbing underneath your thighs so that you can fuck yourself against his face without a thought in your head. when you dare to look down, dick’s got a big smile across his lips as he licks up every juice you offer to him. "happy birthday, baby," he says against your swollen entrance, completely pussy drunk.

jason todd

a month before your birthday hits, before the thought of another year being added to your date, jason’s making a reservation at a restaurant you’ve been telling him you’ve wanted to go. the restaurant that you’ve seen tiktoks of, have read the menu and looked at chef specials, the restaurant that was highly exclusive and had a rooftop that the man rented out in its entirety for you.

he’s asking you to close your eyes on the way there, not putting a blindfold on because he knows that you did your makeup all pretty and would hate for it to get smudged. when you arrive, the sun is an hour away from setting and he’s leading you to the space with only a table and two chairs.

the courses are endless and the wine to pair, delicious. he has your favorite dessert come out last, ‘happy birthday’ written in chocolate on the plate with a single candle made for you to blow out.

once the private and loving fesitivities finish taking place at the restaurant, he’s driving you back to your shared place. his hand never leaving your thigh as he gives you a sweet kiss at every red light he stops at.

"you didn’t have to do all that, but i appreciate it, y’know," you say against his soft lips that turn to continue driving. "everything’s for you, always will be."

jason continues showing you that his statement is true for the rest of the night. every kiss to your soft skin proves that his lips are only for you to feel. every finger that spreads your legs apart wider and wider, only for you. and every long and deep stroke that hits that special spot deep inside you, is only for you! everything is for you, to jason.

Urudrf uhm can you share Hoagie HCs :3 and Chad HCs :3 I don't see you getting much attention for that post and that makes me sad so I will compensate for it

this is so thoughtful, thank you!! although honestly, i’m really happy with all of the asks i’ve gotten so far. i’m pleasantly surprised by (and thankful for!) the amount of submissions, even if it’s not a crazy amount.

i have lots of thoughts on Hoagie. he really is such a sweet, goofy kid. unfortunately though, his dad is very much dead in my eyes. Hoagie misses him a lot, but Tommy doesn’t really remember him. In Tommy’s eyes, Hoagie is kinda like his surrogate dad. Unrelated to Sad Family Stuff, I also think that before deciding to work as a field operative, Hoagie strongly considering working as a 2x4 tech inventor/engineer at either moonbase or the deep sea science lab. he quickly changed his mind when he realized being a scientist meant that he would rarely be able to pilot any of his creations. he also really wanted to stick with wally, since the two of them have known each other since pre-k (the longest friendship out of the sector!). even though lots of people assume Hoagie loves school because of his natural intelligence, he actually really dislikes it. he’d much rather learn things through experimentation or hands on experience, and he’s so smart none of his classes challenge him enough to be interesting. i can def see him taking accelerated courses throughout his entire academic career in an attempt to get it over with as soon as possible. he probably ends up majoring in something like aerospace engineering or physics.

first of all, for Chad, his middle name is Mallory. it’s something we talked about in DMs, but it is so insanely canon to me now. he’s so embarrassed by it he’s even tried to edit it out of the super big computermabob. anyways, he also plays an insane amount of instruments. mostly strings. his favorite is the bass because of how simple it is, and he plays it in the scumbucketpunks. his parents hate it, but it’s one of the few hobbies he has that he truly enjoys. i am a big believer in the The Steve is actually a decommissioned Numbuh 100 theory, so i think that being able to hang out with his old mentor outside of the teen ninja setting is something Chad really clings onto, even if it is very bittersweet. honestly, most things in Chad’s life are either very complicated or bittersweet. poor guy. but i think he’s spent so long dedicating his life to the KND, galactic or otherwise, he isn’t even really sure if he’d be able to live a normal life if given the chance. he just wishes there was someone he could talk to without having to lie around all the truths he’s being forced to hide.

[torra-and-the-toons]

So I been watching KND since I was kid, I recently got into Jojo's Bizarre Adventures and watching Part 2 of JJBA for the first time was hard to take seriously because THE VOICE OF THE MAIN CHARACTER

WAS NIGEL UNO!! THE SAME VOICE ACTOR I COULDN'T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY- (well I did eventually because it has heart wrenching moments) but the parts where Joseph being hilarious I just go back to imagining him as an adult Nigel Uno xD

Doesn't help that he's British-American too lmao

that's my ask for the week

Haha yea!! I never got into JoJo, but I def saw that! Ben Diskin is in sooo many things. Dude's got TALENT!

at least of the shows I know, he's in Blue Exorcist, Beastars, Naruto, Kill La Kill, One Punch Man to name a few...

he's also in some of my favorite games, Tales of Zesteria and Berseria (the latter one I never finished) Rune Factory 4, Wildstar (RIP that game was fun while the servers were alive 💔) and looks like some fire emblem games too!

It's so funny when you can catch voice actors in other shows when you know them for something else, the one that always catches me off guard is Mr Rob Paulsen. After rewatching animaniacs I started hearing Paulsen's voice EVERYWHERE.

also kind of related but Wally's voice actor is also in a lot of other things including Appa and Momo in Avatar, that's so wild to me lmao.

Mad respect to voice actors, man!

[gimmemore14]

Ahhhhhhh!!!! I came here because I just finished Chapter 15 of your Bad Guys win A/B/O fic (I can’t remember the exact title and have the tab closed 😭) and let me tell you I am OBSESSED with your writing, holy chips. It’s such an indulgent fic for me with the angst and more angst and aghhhhhhhhh it’s so good!!! And I have so many questions, so many little thought hyper fixations from it! Like, Wally being alive- AGCHCIDJNDND!! How would Slade even react to that, to Wally and Dick potentially being reunited? And Tim!!! My poor baby!! I’m literally frothing at the mouth every time I remember how isolated he is in regards to everyone else. Because Jason’s finally with the others now, and Dick has Damian (and had Rose and Joey as well technically) but Tim is just… GOD THE ANGST. AUTHOR YOU GENIUS. He’s all alone in these isolated mountains with Ra’s and going through non-consensual body modifications and AFSHDHJJNN (Tim is one of my favorite characters). Although I guess he technically does have SOME support, slightly, with Layla and Ali and Amzi… It’s not the same as full on family yk? And then DICK. DICK’S ARC. GOD. He’s isolated, and coerced, and manipulated- he’s given this false sense of home, of pack, he’s trauma bonded with his abuser, he’s genuinely emotionally entangled with Slade, he’s initially terrified of Slade’s softness because he KNOWS the psychological consequences of softness from a abuser and captor, he KNOWS it’ll make everything ten times more confusing and he’ll get conflicted about his emotions and bonds, AND IT HAPPENS AND NOW HES MATED!! And the engagement dinner! What’s going to happen to Tim? God, what’s going to happen when KON sees him? I genuinely wonder what Tim’s sort of breaking point is going to be, for this fic, however. What I mean by this is Jason and Dick both had this sort of arc where they were reached this submissive, defeated state. For Dick this happened in much smaller increments, him breaking down along the way and then the final sort of end all be all being the bite, and with Jason it was suddenly forced into him, with Sionis’ forced mating and Jason’s subsequent submission. Even if Jason wasn’t fully broken, he was still submitted to Sionis. But with Tim, he’s still got all this fire and snark. He’s ready to do whatever it takes to make this hard for Ra’s, with the way he keeps egging him on. I’m DYING because I have a feeling the forced mating bite from Ra’s is going to be HIS breaking point into submisson, and OH MY CHIPS AM I NERVOUS FOR THAT. I just KNOW he’s going to be the prettiest bride ever though, I say this in the least sadistic way possible I promise you I am not trying to glorify or romanticize rape and non-consensual body modifications resulting in a loss of control over masculinity, but like. Tim is canonically the Twink ok. He’s going to be so pretty and so tragic and I just. I’m just here for that ok?

So that’s pretty much the end of my hyper fixation rant… god I’m so sorry if you had to read all this but just know I absolutely EAT UP your writing, it makes my day, and I CANNOT wait for if you ever update it again (I’ll def try to leave another comment like this for a new chapter if you don’t mind)

THANK YOU FOR FEEDING US WITH YOUR DELICIOUS WORK IM VERY GRATEFUL 🙏

SO GLAD YOURE LIKING IT!!!

Idk how to write stories without angst 😭😂

Slade was definitely a little jealous of Wally at first (I mean the man caught him masturbating thinking about Wally 😬😏) but now well… you’ll find that Slade is feeling pretty secure with them having matching mating bites gahah he’d definitely be a cocky prick about it now

Poor Tim definitely has the worst of it now! His isolation breeds desperation and honestly a bit of a moral disconnect as a form of self protection. Every bird thought they were alone, but Tim knows he is… hopefully that’ll change soon hahaha

That’s 100% why Dick fought so hard!! Even with the arrival of Joey and rose he was grateful but also pissed because he knew Slade would use them against him too, he called him out for it, knew the man’s plan but unfortunately Dick can’t just… NOT care about people either. If Slade kept being an aggressive asshole the whole time things would be different; however, he’s a smart man and dick is definitely emotionally entangled now (but so is Slade 😂)

Tim is feeling a false sense of security with Ra’s traditional values so despite what’s happening to his body, he feels like he still has time (he doesn’t) but seeing the supers at the engagement dinner may change the urgency factor and make things more real for him…

You KNOW Ra’s is putting him in a multimillion dollar outfit, but he’d be the prettiest omega bride even in a potato sack hahah

Thank you for reading, don’t apologize, I LOVE comments/asks like this!! Blood in the Water has been my favorite thing to write so far!

Update will come eventually but I’m heading to Italy for my sisters wedding/vacation so my brain has been focusing on that, hopefully by the end of the month I’ll be able to crank the rest out and edit it 💜

[irlnumbuh3]

You made a hc about Teen Sector V getting high daily and now I can't unsee it😂

hell yeah and i’ll do it again! B)

pothead wally is my favorite one because i just see it so perfectly. i smoke practically daily and it helps me so much with my adhd/anxiety so i imagine the same goes for him. slows down my thoughts so im not thinking of 20 different things at once fr

i know hoagie’s in on this shit too. he comes up w the craziest ideas yet they all make sense and end up becoming a reality usually 😭 if bro wants to build a drone mid sesh he will go on and make it the next day

wally likes actual bud but i can see him carrying a cart around him EVERYWHERE that shit is locked in his pocket

there’s def a sticker on his cart battery from kuki

skipping class after lunch to go smoke is a sector v weekly activity

Character ask game: Frost and Hartley Rathaway (aka grown up Harry Potter to me lol)

Nah, Hartley's nothing like Harry. Maybe in the comics, but def not in the show. He acts more like a grown-up Malfoy (esp with his rich background)...tho ofc his relationship with his parents isn't at all like Malfoy's. But I digress

Frost

How I feel about this character: Lukewarm. I liked her in s3 as a villain, but I never liked how they tried to make her a hero without so much as an apology to Iris. I don’t hate her, she has her moments, but...ehh. I’ve never understood how she’s such a fan favorite, especially over Iris—her powers are really cool and as I said, she definitely has her funny/sweet moments, but still

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Lisa Snart

My non-romantic OTP for this character: Caitlin, Cisco, and Ralph! Also if she’d actually apologized to Iris ever, then Iris would be here too 💞

My unpopular opinion about this character: tbh I’ve never much liked Frost as her own character? I preferred when KF was just Caitlin

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: If they were gonna make her a separate person from Caitlin, the first thing they should've done is have her apologize to Iris (and Cecile, both directly, because why tf did Caitlin apologize to Joe for what she did to Cecile?? And with no mention of Iris, moreover??). There should’ve been tension there for a while...and then the bachelorette episode could’ve been the resolution of that tension (with no petty digs from Frost to Iris because seriously wtf?? The nerve and audacity?? You assisted in her attempted murder last year, you have no right to needle her like that!)

Hartley Rathaway

How I feel about this character: I have a love-hate relationship with him 😂 his snark is entertaining in s1 but ehh I still didn’t really like him...but in s2, he's very sweet and piques my interest. Then I was mad that they made him mean again post-Crisis for no reason, but...he had a cool aesthetic (unfortunately, he still insulted/devalued Cisco 💀 also unfortunately, the show proved how much they didn’t care about his sexuality by giving him a sexy-lamp boyfriend with no personality). And I liked him in s9—it felt like they finally settled into how to write him well, and even Roderick, poor guy, finally got some personality. Just a smidge, though

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Roderick, sometimes Cisco (the s2 version of Hartley). Also I'm intrigued by the Singhaway ship (comics canon) 👀 ofc the show destroyed that possibility by having Singh be married from s1 onwards, but if they'd kept him single...👀

My non-romantic OTP for this character: His sister, Jerrie (comics canon) 💞 also Cisco (I don't ship them all the time 😂). ALSO Wally and Linda (comics canon)

My unpopular opinion about this character: Him insulting Cisco isn’t funny or cute and never was ✋ and any Hartmon fic (romantic or platonic) needs to start off with an apology for that (either one directly stated or implied)

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: I wish he’d gotten to keep his s2 characterization (without reconciling with his terrible parents), and that he’d gotten to be more present in the show and met/befriended Wally and Linda. The post-Crisis retcon never happened in my mind idc

character ask game!

Mark Farina Halloween 2015 Live Set

This is a 3-hour audio recording of Mark Farina Halloween 2015 live set recorded in Orange County, California, on October 31, 2015.

Mark F'ing Farina. Easily in the top 5 deep house dj's. Probably in the top three. Maybe in the top 2?

Come on. I've never heard someone deliver such deep funk so consistently. Every. Single. Time.

So this is an interesting recording. It's not from my archive of classic rave recordings, nor something recorded recently. This is the audio counterpart to a live video stream I did all the way back in 2015.

Today, post Covid, the mention of live streaming elicits not even a yawn, we are so desensitized to it by now. For obvious reasons, the real streaming revolution happened 2019-2021. So I consider it a little feather in my cap that Rave Tapes was running good-sounding, multi-cam streams long before the trend took off.

The event? A cozy Halloween party hosted by Swerve Underground, the monthly event hosted by producer/dj Wally Callerio of Dufflebag Recordings and partner/dj 1st Nature. Wally has been a respected producer for years and had the right connections to pull some amazing names down to their Orange County venue, an hour south of Los Angeles. Names like Dereck Carter, Doc Martin, and other titans of the deep house movement.

So when the opportunity came up to do a live video stream of their Halloween party, taking place in a cool bohemian art space, with special guest Mark Farina? Pfft. It was the chance I had been waiting for, lol!

So, miraculously, the whole thing went off almost without a hitch. I say almost because I believe power was cut to the decks at one point. But considering it was a 2+ hour set, we forgot about it almost instantly after power was restored. Otherwise, the internet connection was good, my gear held up. It happened. In fact, here's the video evidence:

So this is the audio to that. While the audio in the YouTube version sounds unbelievably clean, this sounds even better. I finally went back and properly mixed the four audio channels, left-right stereo pair from the dj decks, then left-right stereo pair from the room mic.

It sounds absolutely pristine, if I do say so myself. I had to decide how loud to keep the mic levels vs the feed from the dj mixer. I think I am happy with these levels but I might change my mind and update the file at some point.

The content? Well, it's good ol' reliable Mark Farina. Of course every dj has a "look" and Farina certainly has his trademark glasses and scruffy chin. But man, when you see that familiar visage behind the decks and hear the funky bass line over the system, you know you have nothing to worry about. You know you're in for a good time.

Last time I saw Farina was EDC 2022 Bionic Jungle stage. It was very late Sat night. Actually very early morning Sunday about 4 am. Still dark and trippy.

Saturday. Hump day. People are grinding in more ways than one. And Mark is closing out little Bionic Jungle. I don't mean little in a condescending way. Actually, the inconspicuousness of the stage is what made it so great. It was def an intimate space and you could get right up close to your favorite deep house dj's. My only issue that night was that it wasn't going to yield a complete Rave Tapes recording. Yes, I recorded while I danced there. But knew I was arriving late because of another set, and I knew I was leaving early because I don't like getting stuck in parking. While there may have been an hour of material, the other issue was there was a nasty buzzing coming from some vibrating stage rigging.

So that's probably why I'm mentioning EDC here, because it's a good opportunity to discuss it since there will never be a Rave Tapes recording from that night to link it to.

I guess my point is, be it at Swerve Halloween 2015, EDC 2022, or the other times I've heard Farina play, Farina always, ALWAYS, delivers a top shelf performance.

While I'm always eager to bring these live sets to you for the sake of your listening pleasure, truth be told, I get excited when posting these because in most cases it's the first time I get to have easy SoundCloud access to the mixes, too.

And with this one, I'm over-the-moon thrilled for completely selfish reasons ;)

Nevertheless, please enjoy!

at work thinking about batsy being a menace. ankle biter!!!! watch out!!!

thinkin bout the night lilith and betty brought her home for the first time and how much home now felt like....home...like a family. a truly deep tie between all of them. they were talking about having kids for YEARS before having batsy. and she was just so...perfect!! a little menace!! barnaby and Mrs. Beagle came by the day after and barnaby couldnt stop crying. i imagine hes always wanted kids but it just hasnt happened yet, so shes his favorite thing in the world (wallys def a little jealous, but he gets over it ). he tried planning the baby shower (adoption shower?? still dont know how she happpened lol) but realized how SHIT he was at it so julie was MORE than happy to plan it. it was a little bit of a disaster but everyone had so much fun welcoming the newest neighbor!

roping in nina and molly; nina isnt very fond of kids but she does enjoy how sweet and curious batsy is (reminds her of molly). she'll crochet little things with her webs for the crib when she was first brought home. little tiny baby booties for the winter too.

molly just loves how chaotic this kid is and will do anything to get a reaction from her. frequently runs around on all fours chasing batsy around (its ok they're having fun, barnaby will do it to and then batsy will jump on his back and they'll chase molly). molly tries showing batsy her "dolls" (creepy af btw) and although everyones like hey maybe dont give her the doll with no eyes and mysterious liquid coming from her mouth and ratted hair but batsy is like omg this is MY baby.

the b in batsy b briar stands for beagle btw. they wanted her to have both last names. idk why neither took each others last names. maybe they just didnt feel the need to?

i feel like a grandmother myself at this point wtf

[butteredmilkbread]

I think i enjoy my wally plush very much!

I enjoy spending time with the little guy and he watched over me as i make art! I also enjoytakimg him out and about :3!

At night i especially enjoy staring at him and wondering is Clown would be proud of me (as if they knew i existed lol) anyways hes a very nice plush! 10/10 would def buy the other neighbors if they existed (i desperately want a plush of my favorite not so little shopkeeper..) but yeah thats all!

Happy new years and a very late but very merry christmas!

[crystalelemental]

Unit Teambuilding - Penny

In an effort to decrease spending, my general goal is to find one sync pair I'm most excited about as the main focus, with flexibility for one other thing if I'm really sold on it by kit. Friends...this is the main focus.

General Overview And hilariously, it's also my favorite kit of the bunch. Penny and Sylveon kinda rule. A support pair that, in one turn, gives +4 Sp Atk/+2 crit. 3/5 grid has Team Sharp Entry. She applies Fairy rebuff on first attack, which is AoE. Who the fuck is NC Blue? Penny additionally packs X Sp Def All, which can get Shielded 1 on grid, as well as a Buddy move that functions as Snatch and a Potion and cannot miss, while also being...okay not good damage, but okay damage for a support. Her passives are where things get hilarious. This is where she gets that rebuff effect, but she also packs Mind Games 9, and Team Smart Command 9, which is a +1 SMUN stack per trainer move. That is respectable.

So now, we gotta talk problems. Penny's overall bulk at base is fairly poor, with sub-700HP and sub-300 Defense, leaving her relatively frail physically even with Shielded. Her ideal scenario is using her TM immediately, and then boosting defenses, but this means using all your SMUN stacks early, when those are ideally applied late. Meanwhile, attacking happens once early for rebuff, but likely not again until buffed, but then you're lacking Sp Def debuffs. It's hard to really assess what Penny should or should not be doing. To make her life worse, they gave her Strike sub-role. The added defenses of Tech had some merit (though Field was the optimal choice), and they gave her Strike for a borderline useless 5/5 node. Even when Sylveon's good DeNA just dunks on it for no reason.

EX, Role, and Move Level? Support, so EX encouraged, and 3/5 borderline mandatory. While she does a lot at 1/5 still, I do think the inclusion of Team Sharp Entry, MGR9, Revenge Boost, MP Burst, Shielded, Team Fist Bump, and Satisfied Snicker. She gets a lot of great tools. The Role is Strike. Unless you really want to go for that Brainpower sync, I suggest you don't.

Team 1: Penny, Valerie, MC Sylveon VeeVee Power. Yes, a full team of Sylveon, and honest to god it's viable. Penny's able to bulk the team up by quite a lot, while pushing their damage to fantastic heights. Valerie is finally getting her much-needed EX, and while not insane, her sync is legitimately respectable damage. Enter the Eggmons, where MC Sylveon can set Fairy Zone for the extra multiplier. This team, for on-type, legitimately works. And you have no idea how excited I am for it.

Team 2: Penny, literally any Variety Eevee except Umbreon, their associated Eevee Eggmon To avoid clogging this up, let's put it this way: All Eevee teams are viable, thanks to Penny. The Variety Eevesi are all in need of Penny's exact buffs, with the sole exception of Selene and Umbreon. Even SS Misty gets in on this action, so we're counting her here. I'll also mention Irida to avoid clogging that up, but like...trust me bro, it works. Penny even has some level of being optimal for Variety Lyra, whose multipliers rely on Sp Def debuffing, while Kris and Elio also give the +1 crit to ease Penny's grid off of Team Sharp Entry. Variety Eevees all have the same limitation, in that their field effect on sync doesn't last. Enter Eevee Eggmons once again, to provide it any time they need it for sync. And thus, we are invincible. Penny is, legitimately, the Eevee Master.

Team 3: Penny, Diantha/SS Wally/Alder, P!Serena/Bede/SC Ingo Really fun part of Penny's kit: she has Satisfied Snicker. This means Devastation gets powered up, which is ideal for partners like Diantha and SS Wally in her own type. If using those two separately, P!Serena is nice for the speed management on Diantha, while Bede's debuffs are ideal for Wally. But you can also run with any other Devastation user, like Alder, who may not get the rebuff benefit, but loves the combination of Sp Atk/Sp Def debuffing Penny does, while SC Ingo can provide the speed boosting and Zone support. Another fun note: Penny's ability to stack SMUN is great for pairs like Alder and Diantha, whose DPS moves hit like a freight train already.

Team 4: Penny, Anni N, Tech Ninetales Alright, you may be wondering, what's the structure here? Anni N has offense debuffs, which are great as a complement to Penny's defensive buffs. For survival, this is ideal. Moreover, N using Noble Roar means he's not attacking. And that's stacks of SMUN. You spend a few turns getting those stacks up, sync with Penny for double damage, then unleash Blue Flare under Sun. No penalty AoE damage, and Penny's able to nearly cap his offenses to make it work. These stacks of moves up next, on pairs that can conserve them, lead to some of the funny numbers hits that people love.

Final Thoughts Penny's really, really fun. She reminds me vaguely of Variety Mallow, whose 1MP trainer move performed comparable buffs, just without accuracy. And in exchange, it's excellent Sp Def debuffing and utility perfectly aligned to the Fairy type, with some generalist abilities that make her really useful. I do still worry about her general survival. I don't know how well she's going to take hits, and the Buddy Move is limited use so it scares me. But I do really, really like this pair conceptually.

I KNEWWW Eddie was about to be put through the wringer... Bro was TOO sweet and oblivious. And all that mess about the red triangle??? The red mail??? DOOMED. I saw some speculation a while ago that he had some sort of relation with the Black Goop Stuff from the real world because of his memory problems and I'm definitely on board with that. His life abt to get wilddd I'm so excited to see what he has been/is going through.

Honestly I thought the update would be more about Sally... she DEF showed some awareness during Halloween. I figured things would hit the fan with her but nah. Maybe we'll get little glimpses of The Horrors for every character before they're all maimed.

I also thought we'd find out what happened to Barnaby??? I thought Wally literally killed him LOL

Banger update as always def one of my favorites <3

That red rectangle 🤨

Hi! Do you know where to find any good relationship-focused fics? I use ao3 sometimes but it seems like there’s not a good selection for yj fics :/ what would you personally recommend?

Hello! This is a good question. I, however, seldom read fics anymore 😅 I know, I know. I'm just a very picky reader. I also mainly read just Jade and Will stuff, so most of my recs are those.

If AO3 isn't shooting out what you like, have you tried fanfiction.net? That used to be my go-to in the olden days of YJ.

Here are just a couple of my favs that have stood the test of time:

Anything by @arrowknife. They mostly write comics!Jade and Roy, but their stuff is always top tier so I always find myself enjoying it.

all you can hear (is the sound of your own heart) by amarowan.

Not relationship focused, but great Jade-centric fic that had her and Will centered scenes.

to pull our earth back round again by ineachandeveryway

ugggghhh I love this fic so much it is one of my favs

let's conspire to ignite by theatrythms

top tier will and jade fic, one of my all time favorites I always think about this one.

They also have a few other fics, some bluepulse and spitfire, would DEF recommend this author

The Next Great Adventure by brella

Genius story by genius writer. The most logical, well-written, and creative "how wally is alive and comes back" fic that I've ever read. It's amazing, it's perfect, can't recommend it enough.

Literally ANYTHING by @rockscanfly please browse their wonderful and expansive library here.

And then, of course, you have ye olde me. With my tumbleweed fics floating off in the desert somewhere. You can browse my collection here.

Happy reading!
