#warning: child shipping

[thevoidstaredback]

Red Hood was furious. Beyond that, actually, and he could tell that Nightwing shared his sentiment. Danny was technically the new worker in the alley and had basically been adopted by all the working girls and boys, which is why he had yet to meet him. Apparently, he would scare him off?

Anyway, Red Hood would be out for blood as soon as he got Danny dropped off at The Club. The poor kid was still in shock, cowering in on himself, letting the jacket hide him as much as it could. He could tell the kid was anxious to have Nightwing following behind him, but he was glad he was bearing with it. He needed the insurance that someone wouldn’t try to take Danny while he didn’t have eyes on him.

When they did get to The Club, he and Nightwing watched as Danny walked inside with his jacket still wrapped around him. The kid was bombarded by several of the people still there, though they all backed off when he flinched, gently guiding him to a chair. Lucy was the one to come out and greet them.

“Thanks for bringing him back,” they said, their voice soft.

“It was no problem, Lu,” Red Hood shook his head slightly, his posture relaxed.

Lucy shook their head in denial. “No, I mean it. We were all so worried when he didn’t come back! The others had lost sight of him and came in panicking.”

“If you don’t mind me asking,” Nightwing stepped up next to Red Hood, “what happened?”

Lucy worried at their bottom lip, glancing at Red Hood, who nodded, before answering. “We always make sure to keep within sight of each other, just in case someone steps outta line. It’s for our safety. That, and keeping in lit areas. I wasn’t out tonight, but there were seven others on the street with him. There must’ve been a few seconds when they didn’t have eyes on Danny and he was nabbed because none of the others said that they saw anyone else out around the time he disappeared.” They met both vigilanties' eyes behind their masks. “Who was it, Hood?”

Nightwing was hesitant to tell, obviously having an idea of what would happen to the BJ. Red Hood had no such reservations. He knew the names and faces of everyone in Crime Alley, including the addresses of those who have them. They all know his rules and the punishments for not following them. “Go back for the night, Nightwing.”

“Hood-”

“No. Plausible deniability and all that.” he waved off, following Lucy as they led him into The Club. “Tell Batman I sent ya early because Alley business came up.”

“It’s no place for a Bat,” Nightwing sulked, “I know. Good night, you two!”

“Goodnight, Nightwing!” Lucy waved as the man grappled away. They turned back to Red Hood before opening the door. “Who was it?”

“Mr. Jameson in apartment 25 of the Katt Building near the middle of the Alley.”

They hummed and opened the door. “I’ll pass it on to everyone.”

The group of fifteen were comforting Danny, helping him clean up and offering an ear to listen to. Danny, throughout it all, was staring mostly blankly at the coffee table in the middle of the commons area. He only really reacted when someone gave him a dog plush. Though, that was only small, hesitant movements to take the plush and pull it close to his chest, Red Hood’s jacket still hiding him as though he were a child hiding from a lightning storm. And that’s what he was, a child hiding from the outside world because it hurt him.

Red Hood had to admit, though, that the guy’s cute. He was really hoping to meet him under better circumstances. Regardless, he took off his helmet, the domino underneath keeping his identity mostly safe from getting out, though he trusted everyone here to keep the secret if they ever found out. He knelt on the floor in front of Danny, keeping his movements slow and telegraphed as he made sure to stay in Danny’s line of sight. “Hey there, hun.”

Danny didn’t respond. He didn’t even move. His breathing had slowed back down to a normal pattern, though, and it seemed to be slowing even more.

Red Hood made sure not to touch him or get too close. “Hey, can you hear me?” he asked, “Blink if you can.”

For a long moment, nothing happened. Then, very slowly, Danny blinked. Red Hood smiled at him.

“Good. I’m not gonna ask ya what happened, okay? None of us are. We’re gonna take care of the guy, though. He won’t ever bother you again, ‘kay?”

Again, his blink was slow, but tears slowly fell from his eyes as he did so. Relief seemed to wash over his expression as he relaxed into the couch, the jacket and plush being held slightly looser.

“Do you want to stay here, or do you want to go somewhere else?”

The response was quiet, barely a whisper that Red Hood almost missed, “Somewhere else.”

Not too surprising. “Where do ya wanna go?”

“Home.”

“Where’s home?”

Danny didn’t answer as he pulled the jacket around the plush in his arms. Not a good sign, but it was an unfortunately common one for Crime Alley residence.

Red Hood thought for a second, mostly for show, before saying, “I’ve got a safe house you could stay in to recover. No one but me will know where you are if you don’t want them to. You’ll be able to stay as long as you want and you can leave at any time. Sound good?”

“Can Lu or May or Jakey know where it is?”

Not ideal, but anything to make him feel safer. “Of course they can know.”

“Okay.”

“Do you want me to tell them?”

“Maybe tomorrow.”

“We’ll touch base then,” He slowly stood back up. “Let me or one of the others know when you’re ready to go and I’ll take ya to the safe house. No rush. We’ll go at your pace.”

Stepping away for a second, he put his helmet back on and turned on his comms. He listened to the conversation he’d tuned into, knowing that Oracle would make him known if the others didn’t stop talking in a moment.

Sure enough, after about thirty seconds, she muted them all and said, “Red Hood, nice of you to join us.”

“I wouldn’t say that,” he muttered, ‘Nothing particularly nice about this situation.”

“Oh?” Oracle asked, “What’s going on?”

“Ask Nightwing for details.” he said, “I’m not gonna answer calls for the next few days. Everyone stays out of Crime Alley until I say.” “So normal rules then?” He hummed in response. “Alright. Goodnight, Red Hood.”

Red Hood turned his com off completely, turning to face the kid on the couch and lean against the wall. Danny’s was gonna be okay. He was going to make sure that he’ll be okay.

Part 2 Part 4

I hate dating apps I need to meet the love of my life more organically*

*in hand-to-hand combat before the great walls of the City of Troy

[blood-orange-juice]

You are all going to block me but I just realised that I do low-key ship Aether/Lumine.

Hear me out.

It's the plot of so many myths. The best known is, of course, Izanami and Izanagi's story (the whole reason why siblingcest is so popular in Japan. same level of cultural importance as the madonna/whore complex for Christians), but there are also Fu Xi and Nuwa, Sun and Moon gods of the Inuit mythology, a bunch of Greek gods, a bunch of Egyptian gods too iirc.

Old cultures that had god-kings (some dynasties in Egypt and, as we discovered recently, Ancient Ireland) considered marriages between siblings a norm for them specifically and something to be frowned upon or at least unusual for everyone else.

You can't convince me the twins were not god-rulers in some faraway world (they also found it so boring that they don't do it anymore. actually, I'll stand by this headcanon even without shipping them).

Celestial beings that already are one and the same in some sense. Twin stars.

The symbolism just does something to me.

I wish I could say this is not about boring human sex (they are interstellar eldritch beings anyway. merge your photons my funky little sibcons, as Ray says) but nope, I think their interactions can easily take the form of boring human sex too.

(it's just not the main thing they have going on)

I'll show myself out.

P.S. there's also a bonus: all Traveler ships are now threesomes

[moonscape]

i don't really like confessions blogs because i feel like they just fuel the fire for fandom discourse but ngl i agree with pretty much everything that's been posted on the is*t one so far so i'm okay with it for now lol 👍

[causenessus]

just so u guys know i haven't been this attached to someone (suna) since oikawa tooru which started like 4 years ago i kid u not

[mrstsung]

The only kids shang tsung would have and loves is his own. From himself.

NOT MILEENA. sorry not sorry i hate that hc with a burning passion from fandom.

If it's not made from him,the ol fashion way. He wouldn't be as keen with it. Im not saying if there was a child in the equation with you before (single parent) that he wouldn't step up. He would. But if it's a child made by magic or something like that. It would bring back not so nice memories. Ptsd even.

So i doubt he'd be dad to an experiment like mileena or milly herself. Too much baggage there. I've been over why that hc from Fandom isn't a good one because it's so ooc and ignoring his tramas from shao kahns court and the crap he went through. It's ignoring key parts for a short lived thing that honestly could be easily remedied by MAKING AN OC OR FANKID.

If you want him to have a half tarkatan child make an oc. Leave mileena alone!

She needs kitana,her sister,not a father. If anything. Raiden is right fucking there. Have him step up.

Shang tsung i love him to death but kids,is a touchy subject i feel for him. And honestly,not everyone is ok with parenting. Even people who like kids,want kids but cant have em,etc.

Sorry for this rant but i just do not like this hc. And i myself as much as i dont mind kids,they are a lot of work,and even reading hcs about parenting drains me. Don't get me wrong shang would be an excellent father,just not to mileena. Mileenas father IS SHAO KAHN. that's right there,plain as day. No matter what you think,say or hc. Shao kahn is millys dad. Now like i said kitana stepping up,squashing the unnecessary beef,and ACTUALLY WRITING THEM WITHOUT TARNISHING EITHERS CHARACTER BY WRITING MILEENA AS A FUCKING DISEASED ANIMAL THAT CAN EASILYTUNR BACK INTO A CONVENIENTLY ATTRACTIVE EYECANDY UGH. is what needs to happen. Kitana and mileena despite her being a clone,actually being sisters and ruling outworld side by side.

She doesn't need a man. To make her great. Father or otherwise.

Plus mileena being treated like she has no agency. Even as a fictional character. Pisses me off. Women of mk get this too often. Sadly.

Plus shang doesn't like mileena nor treated her like a person. And mileena hates shang for creating her. Tanya was the only other person who actually gave a rats ass about her other than reptile. Kitana if they weren't cowards. Sindel cared for mileena but was selfish because kitana was actually born form sindel. Not milly. So.....sindel a bit vain. Unless you want mileena to be of a tarkatan affair and add drama to the kahns. Lol. (I actually have a whole ass story idea for that. But again. It's only an idea. Not what actually happened) either way. Mileena doesn't need a man to be amazing.

Tanya is her daddy *wink*. Lol. I joke i joke.

But yeah i just hate when fandoms ignore the obvious traumas and problems for a cute short hc that doesn't even make sense. MAKE AN OC. it's ok. It's not cringe. Police wont bust down your door for making a fucking kid oc for shang tsung. God!

Anyways. I have fankids with shang tsung. But it's more of an exploration idea than anything. Not nessicarly an au,but eh. I dont mind the idea. Just not nessicary for me in my self ship. I like being kidless in my self ship. It's easier to manage. But eh shit happens.

But anyways. If y'all wanna see the fankid au. Or my juicy outworld court drama idea. Lemme know.

[transgendermilesprower]

i keep thinking about how they use sonic advance 3 in particular in the one flashback in sonic prime, it's because that's where 'unbreakable bond' originates from!

Sonic and Tails' unbreakable bond is so important to sonic (the character and the series)

Would love to see your interpretation of what Nori would look like and/or how you think a conversation between the Foremans and the Varmitechs would go.

Ps. Trin and I have decided that Nori’s voice claim is Olivia Rodrigo hehe

All the hugs

Thank you for the ask, Caity! I just adore Nori, so I am so happy to answer this ask!

Based on our conversations about Nori, and the character references I have seen for her, I believe she would look something like this:

Nori is a surfer and skater girl, so her outfits would definitely be influenced by those vibes/styles! And she has her daddy and brother’s eyes and lucious locks, so I imagine her hair being long, wavy, and free flowing as she surfs the waves or rides her skateboard! And her eyes are light and bright like the ocean waves! Picrew used to create this image!

I know we have personally been discussing the relationship dynamics between Nori, the Varmitech Family, and the Foreman Family, so I think any conversation between them would be positive and very sweet. I currently feel like Zach and Violet see Nori as an additional daughter, and Nori and the Varmitech kids see each other as siblings!

The conversation that’s currently been stuck in my head to portray this dynamic is a bit angst driven, but it is also really sappy and sweet…

Violet *looking at Nori, Jett, and Layla with all 5 of her and Zach’s children; speaking to Tim, John, and Zach*: “They all get along so well, it’s like we’re one big happy family!”

Zach: “When I see Nori with our kids it’s like all six of our kids are together….like Alexandria is here with us, because if she was here…I’d want her to be just like Nori.”

Violet starts sobbing and hugging Zach, blubbering: “Awww, Zach, that is the sweetest thing I think you have ever said, she would be just like her, such a good, smart, strong, and talented girl!”

Tim and John are very touched by this and Tim says, “That’s my girl, everyone loves her and she loves everyone!”

So in short, I think the families would have wonderful conversations and get along very well!

yalls i just woke up what the hell is happening

[eyesforahead]

A deadly hug

An Afton+Sibling MALE reader

Warnings:

No ship's obviously

Bad grammar

Death

Bite of 83

Hinted abuse

Angst

Mention of blood

Little background before we start. Y/N, Elizabeth and c.c who will be called Evan Chris Afton are triplet's.

Let's start. . .

You and Elizabeth were playing in her room. You weren't a fan of playing with the little dollies but you couldn't complain anything to get your mind off of your feelings.

Unknowingly without even wanting to you start tearing up and sniffle.

Your sister immediately looks up from your little doll show you were doing and hugs you.

"M/N.." she says her voice unusually silent.

"I-I miss him. W..why did he have t-t-to d-die????!" You cried hugging her.

Elizabeth hugged you tighter she didn't know what to say.

Father was so mean recently especially to mikey she saw him hit him but Elizabeth didn't care..

She hated Mikey

She hated Michael Afton

So so much that's all she felt

Hatred. . ..

He killed her triplet..

He's making M/N cry

She hated him so much

Elizabeth tried to think cheerfully so she can smile and her brother as well.

"Hey M/N , Daddy made a new location we're going tomorrow he made a circus baby just for me and and I also saw on his blue paper thingy a bear! You love bear's you can go see the bear while I can go see circus baby!!" She said cheerfully leaving out the part were she was warned not to go near her. .

You looked at her

"r.. really??" You said

"yup if I remember correctly his name is Funtime Freddy and he has a little puppet in his hand BonBon!" She said happy you're smiling.

You gasped in excitement you loved bear's!

"I can't wait!"

You couldn't wait to see the bear...

The next day came quickly and now both of you were finally here you saw the bear in the posters you wanted a closer look!

"Hey Michael" you asked looking up at your brother s killer

He looked down at you and you didn't fail to notice the bandage on his cheek.

"Yeah ?" He said

You told him that you and Elizabeth saw your friend and wanted to go play with her and he reluctantly let you go when he felt blood going down his nose.

"alright,stay where I can see you I need to take care of my bloody nose"

The moment he turned around to grab his bag both of you ran and giggled

"The bear auditorium is that way M/N I'm gonna see Circus baby." She said pointing to the right.

"okay Eli, you better tell me about Circus baby when you're done I'll do the same"

With a quick hug you ran to your death

You giggled you were so excited.

When you arrived you noticed how big he was! He was so pretty.

You were alone with him.

"Oh look BonBon" Funtime Freddy said.

You gasped he talked! You loved his voice.

You giggled and waved at him. "Funtime Freddy , BonBon Can I ask you something?" You said excitedly not forgetting to mention BonBon you didn't want him to feel left out.

"Anything Birthday boy!" Ft freddy replied.

"You look so pretty,can I have a hug? Pretty please with a cherry on top?" You asked happily.

"of course come here!" He said and BonBon giggled.

As you went in for the hug his stomach hatch opened and before you can scream you were already inside.

hmm thinking shipcourse thoughts again :)

we’ve all seen the antiship take ‘i guess its ok to create darkfic as a coping mechanism but it’s bad to make it for sexual reasons’

and most of us brain having people have replied with ‘it’s actually fucked up to think people have to disclose their trauma to see if they’re “allowed” to write darkfic’

which i obviously agree with. but additionally, you can’t always tell what someone’s intentions are from their work alone, and you can’t control what the people who consume your content think abt it

great example from my real life in fact:

i have two friends who both have oc stories with a main character who was sexually abused by a parent.

friend ones story heavily features the effects of a fictional trauma disorder, so her ocs abuse is narratively important. she does not gain any sexual gratification from this aspect of the story, it’s just important to the plot.

friend twos oc story is about the effects of trauma on a group of siblings. one of her characters was sexually abused by his mother. she is interested in psychology and likes to delve into how trauma manifests, but she also has a boatload of kinks. it isn’t overt in the story itself, but friend two thinks that what happened to that oc is hot as hell (in fiction only ofc). despite this, if someone who didn’t know that read the ocs story, they wouldn’t necessarily read that the scenes were meant to be titillating.

friend two also thinks that friend ones ocs backstory is hot, despite there being no intention for his story to be arousing. even if friend one doesn’t have any kinks surrounding her ocs abuse, friend two does.

all this to say, no matter what your intentions are when writing darkfic (and fiction in general), you can’t control how others feel about it! if you think finding sexual enjoyment in darkfic is morally wrong, then you can’t really support darkfic in any context, because people can and people will get freaky about it.

i don’t know how to conclude this post uhhhh remember that despite everything we remain silly :3
