tell us about your transcendental experience !
waiting for the bus + some here most in tags .
• empty train with at least a hundred people in front of it, none of them boarding
• the feeling i have failed in something i love (AI, love, long story)
• my bag is soaked in the alcohol someone got drunk on but i really dont care (it made them feel so at one with the music and i could see it and if it means they had to, through a series of chance, spill it on my bag, that is okay)
• HEY TARO !! (multiple hundreds of people shouting this out loud. ringing in my head in the best way)
• people saying "please don't go i'll eat you whole i love you so i love you so i love you so" to each other in a concert hall
• transcendent nature of memory and its everbearingness makes me deeply disconcerted but also now i feel simultaneously glad we have this burden to bear (the burden of forgetting is perhaps even worse unless you forget everything at once, in which case it's [just like] death)
• sat down on the ground i sang out loud with everyone like really loud like really really loud and i closed my eyes and let the light wash over my eyes and the loud music was the most . calming experience i have ever had
#• and even if i didnt sing id be so breathless after every song i think this is what catharsis really feels like#• on the way back i wanted to cry at everything that was beautiful which was precisely everything#• the vibrations of music and the vibrations of trains are sometimes so similar#• the drummer played the drums in a way i have never seen them played . smooth and with feeling the way orchestral pianists play .#id trust him with my heartbeat . he scrunched up the sheet music and threw it at the audience at the end#• my noise cancelling headphones enhance certain frequencies so it sounds louder than normal my head is against the walls of the train#and i can hear its insides its so beautiful (the gentlest wailing i have ever heard followed by the sea and wind and metal turning against#deep metal i can hear the rocks under the wheels and something similar to liquid#im convinced the insides of trains are haunted by the happinesses and pains let go inside of them)#• listen to dissolve me by alt j but imagine it bigger and louder and more beautiful in a room#full of beautiful images and beautiful light and beautiful souls singing it out loud (SHE MAKES THE SOUND THE SEA MAKES ME KNEE DEEP!)#• i am see through soap sliver youre thin as i begin rubbing lathers up your state worsens on my skin and gold fatless finger to lip#got catcalled multiple times by the same person and and said so on the gc and my friend called me saying she has guy fiends in this city#that can protect me in a heartbeat and im she can pull whatever strings she wants but i did feel safe and loved when she said that#• i feel like i need to burst into tears i really want to cry#• i like boys i have decided and realised that i like boys . i think my attraction qualifiees even if i change my mind again later#(like the way they swipe their hair back and when they have sharp teeth and when their hands are pretty)#fuck what if he thinks i like him i think he does but i need him not to think that at all#asks#anon

Will you go to prom with me?
How they ask you to prom.
Characters: Shinso, Sero x GN!Reader
The poll and people have spoken! Here you guys go, I hope you like it!! And thank you all for your support and request! And as always request are open!
If you want another character done, feel free to ask! 🤍
Shinso
Tumblr media
Shinso wouldn’t have a promposal sign, but he also wouldn’t just walk up to you and ask you out flatly. He would really only do that if he wanted to dance with you but you where both in public (not making a huge deal of it- that would be embarrassing)
“Care to dance darling?”
OR you guys were dating for many years or even married. But even in that instance, he comes home with a giant thing of flowers and asks if you wanted to go out to the hero’s Galla, or even chaperon the prom/dance at Eris school.
In late high school, you get ask by though Shinso’s cat( Aizawa cat but pretty much his- everyone in that household has a cat at this point). So Miku(Shinso let Eri name her- And Eri choose the name Hatsune Miku due to the blue hair at the time) comes running toward you, like every time you enter the house. Expect this time a dainty little flower and note are hanging from her bright blue collar.
“Hey there Miko, watch’s got there?” You question, kneeling to the sweet grey cat. Miku rubs against your knees, before all but throwing herself into your palms. She lets out a rather loud chirp as the small flower and notes get in her way.
“Let me get this for ya Miku-“ you whisper to her, scratching the white patch under her chin before grabbing the flower a note.
“Will you go to prom with me, kitty?”
You whisper out yourself, you’re fingers brushing over the laminated paper. The writing is neat, cursive and you tell Shinso spent time on it.
Miku chirps at you, angry at the lack of affection. Your fingers mindlessly comb the underside of her chin. Your heart is swelling, sending vibrations through your chest and causing the area to tighten.
A moment or two passes and you hear someone clear their throat. You peer up, seeing the man himself, his face reddened, and his eyes staring down at you. Shinso’s dressed in baggy sweatpants and a loose tank top. His hands are gauzed up, and his capture weapon is hanging unevenly off his neck. He must have been practicing when you came in, his chest still heavy breaths- but regardless he managed to stay quiet.
“So… what do you say?”
You slowly stand up, much to Miku's dismay. You start to walk before almost sprinting toward him. Hugging him tightly,
“Wait I’m all-“
“Yes” you speak to his shoulder, allowing yourself to be lifted slightly by him, “I would love to go with you, Shin!”
Sero
Tumblr media
Sero goes a more creative route, finding someway to incorporate his tape into it. He does ask you straight up sometimes to go dancing with him. The days you’re swaddled in his hoodie, he can’t help it. Sero will engulf you in his arms, squeezing you as he hums lightly into your hair. “Care to dance.” And it’s just the two of you swaying to whatever music he puts on.
For prom tho- different story.
You walk into the training room and your jaw just falls open. Written in tape, something similar to charlottes web, the word “Prom?” is written out. Its sharp, the circles are like a triangles and there are many ‘strings’ of tape attached to each side. To a point that if you stood too close you'd probably get lost in all the stands.
“Oh! I didn't think you be up so early.” there's a light voice behind you. Seros's voice is surprised, but wavers near the end. “I was actually about to take it down-”
“Why?”
You asked, turning around to fully face him. Sero looked slightly tired- dark bags staring to form under his eyes. He wore a loose white shirt, it was one you had bought him. A giant bowl of Ramen being on the back, with the words “Heaven Noodles” circling around it. You had gotten it a size to big by accident- which didn’t stop the hero in practice from wearing. But due to the lardge size, he enjoyed it more so as asleep shirt (when he did ware one). Sero also had flip flops on and black sweatpants that had yellow triangles going up the legs. It was sleep ware- you saw him in it last night when you both went to your separate dorms. How long had he been awake doing this? Did he sleep at all?
“It was too messy, I was redoing it. Or honestly try something different.” Sero sleepily chuckled, his arms stretching on reflex. A nervous habit he seemed to get while in UA.
“Please don't,” you spoke, walking up to him. “And J would love to go with you.” Seeks tired eyes seem to widen a bit at your answer. His smile stretching wide as he reached out for you. Cupping your face.
“Mi Amor- I am the luckiest man alive” he smiles before kissing your forehead.

Speed and Skill (Kryptonian!Male Reader x Barry Allen)
Kryptonian!male reader x Cw Barry Allen 😍, simple dating headcanons maybe
Tumblr media
Barry is a pretty smart guy - smart enough that he has the requisite common sense to date a Kryptonian.
He knows almost instinctively to avoid surprising you with touch, to keep ambient noise down, to avoid the usual sensitive vibrations that can irritate and overload you.
And later on in the relationship, you two can have conversations in super speed, and literally can make all the time in the world for each other.
But for now, you settle on both using your powers to make things easier.
Getting takeout is so much better when the food can arrive nearly instantly.
You can fly Barry to scenic views or other cities for activities!
Not to mention that Barry's position with STAR Labs means he can help you determine limits to your powers and help develop quality of life gadgets to help alleviate the sensory input your solar-radiation-enhanced receptors give.
Plus, it's nice to be with someone who GETS it.
Neither of you can get drunk, and caffeine has no effect. Barry may not be functionally invulnerable, but his body has a high tolerance for friction, which also tends to mean he doesn't get hot as easily, like you.
You both look normal, but are just so beyond it.
And Barry gets to be himself around you, not just the Flash or Barry Allen the normal guy, but the person between the two, who can speed around the kitchen and dance to music as he makes a snack.
Barry enjoys going out for food dates, since his metabolism means he's almost always in need of refueling, especially if he's not eating the supplemental energy bars that Cisco provides him.
So cafes, getting a couple of appetizers at a restaurant, hanging out and chatting - those are the usual dates.
At some points, it can be fun to like, go to fairs together and enjoy the atmosphere and walk together - although for short times since your senses can overwhelm you.
With your immense strength, it's also fun to pick up Barry whenever you like, and he enjoys being lifted like nothing
Dating Barry is fun, with moments of surprising depth.
With his cheerful personality, it's easy to forget sometimes that his mother died at such a young age and he's lived with his father in jail most of his life.
But Barry understands the world and the darker things, and isn't afraid to talk things out when they get rough - he believes in the value of communication and working things out
He'll back off if you're not wanting to talk, but if he can sense something bothers you, he'll definitely wanna see if you need to talk.
But he also does see the value of light and fun, and is so willing to have happy dates, inviting you to watch old musicals with him and dance, or go out on hikes or something.
Plus, Barry's got a lot of similar problems to you, as his powers also require intense focus and training to ensure he doesn't inadvertently speed, so he can share tips and stuff.
So really, he does understand a lot of what you know you can't quite share with someone else.
Plus he admires you so, both for you and for your powers, and you can tell with certainty that he sees you for you.
He'll often kiss your fingers with so much tenderness and softness it could make you cry, because he knows that you can crush diamonds like they were made of sugar, and he chooses to show you softness anyway.
Barry, you can already tell, loves you.
And it's because of that understanding and softness.
(And also because you can hear his heartbeat around you)

Goblin Music and Theater
This is from my campaign setting Leaf Grey Isle for fantasy campaigns.
Goblin Instruments -
Guffaw - Unlike the bagpipe, a common Goblin instrument due to the ease of playing it which just involves blowing and squeezing to make as much noise as possible, the guffaw takes the concept of a bagpipe and removes the pipes. Though a guffaw resembles typically a large cushion or bladder filled with air, it has several large 'tubes' which can be gripped and 'milked' to leak air out, producing rhythmic flatulence. This tends to aid in most Goblin productions as each note can vary in both vibration and pitch, so a skilled Guffaw player, known respectfully as a 'Big Squeezer or Lil' Squeezer' can produce long pronounced sounds that are incredibly distracting.
The use of a Guffaw for bards is almost exclusive to goblins, though some gnomes and halflings have picked up the usage. A few orcs and gnolls even enjoy the Guffaw as the instrument provides the flavor of meat in one's mouth while playing, masking the pungent taste of the built up air that is sometimes left to gestate for days before a big performance.
The guffaw that has been 'overripened' however is a worrisome instrument as it like most goblin things, if left unchecked can result in loss of life and limb due to the explosive nature of it. Simple milking can reduce the tendency of explosions, but even still, many a goblin musician has gone out with a bang.
Explosives - A larger portion of the goblin audience has taken to claiming that bombs and explosives make the best music. This is generally debated mid combat amongst devoted fans of the 'Booma' culture. Though it's very hard to hear anything after a 'Booma' concert, it's very memorable, especially if you go home with concert scarring or a bard signing one of your no longer useful limbs. Some younger Goblin fans find it best to get limbs blown off and signed, selling them a premium to other fans so that they can afford the next show (as opposed to paying for much needed medical treatment).
Hardcore Booma fans will try and make it to a concert through almost any hardship and savvy Goblin bards always leave a cart for their biggest fans as premium seating as the lack of limbs allows many Booma fans to literally be stacked on one another to thrash around as they listen to their favorite sounds of conflagration.
Hamboning - Though originally thought to come from either Halfling or Human origin, the rhythmic percussive of slapping one's body was quickly a favorite among Goblin comedy acts. Better acts soon followed as they were able to create intricate melodies and songs using the striking of other band members and their own large rubbery cheeks to attain incredible performances. Though most Goblins would be hardpressed to say that Hamboning isn't a crude act of culinary murder cooking, once you actually describe it to them, almost any Goblin will light up and tell you their favorite song. Just watch your thighs as they are quick to slap it out on others.
Tiktiks - Similar to Hamboning but wholly a Goblin invention, TikTiks are a collection of a small batch of thin metal rods or bones that Goblin bards use to stroke along or click at their various teeth. Despite the off putting sight of a Goblin smiling or opening their maw quite wide, the sounds are probably the most pleasant of all Goblin instruments produced to non Goblin fans.
Premiere Tiktik players known as 'Tappas' are often found walking around with bags of various teeth that they often substitute out between songs. High end Tappas are sometimes seen asking humanoids for one of their own teeth, claiming to know that it will help enhance their own sets of teeth for musical purposes. 
Belching and Flatulence - Bodily functions are considered some of the peak of musical accompaniment for Goblin songs, often requiring hearty meals prior to a performance. Non practiced bards will dismiss bodily functions as music, but a trained Goblin bard is able to produce flatulence more akin to honks and true toots, almost causing disbelief at how much it doesn't sound like one's personal exiting.
A goblin's ability to mimic other noises with their belches continues as some theaters will employ master belchers known as 'Mawmaws' and flatulence users known as 'Poppas' to add impress in house sounds such as thunder, monstrous roars, and powerful rushing winds.
Scholars are still trying to figure out how Goblins can in fact produce larger louder sounds than their frames imply, but they just seem to built to be rather noisy as their larger mouths allow for better cacophony of their interpretive musical skills.

Okay so are there any cool traits of the other races in your story you want to share?
Well, it depends on what you'd like to know.
• Most modern big cities are adapted to giants and dwarfs, so everyone is used to high ceilings and extra doors.
Mixed races are a standard thing, along with quirks. In a sense, none of the races is the same race as it was 5-6 centuries ago. All partially became similar to people after the peoples gradually began to be divided by territory and language, and not just by race. It all started with the "early states". Since then, the races have far fewer biological differences and have the option for blood transfusions or organ transplants among themselves. For this reason, no race can be called "pure".
Approximate population ratio:
Tumblr media
By "half- breeds", I mean "perfect half-bloods", which have pronounced features of several races.
Tumblr media
------
Demons are practically no different from humans or elves in biological terms, except that their body produces more harmons.
There are stripes on their skin that can have different colors and shapes. The horns are usually smooth and grow towards the back of the head, but sometimes curve in other directions. The asymmetrical horns are a clear deviation. Contrary to popular misconception, their eyes do not look like a cat's. They do not have night vision, and their peripheral vision is reduced, but they see what is right in front of them very clearly and can look further. All demons are little color blind. They distinguish between shades of red and blue, but do not perceive green and purple shades well. Because of this, green is replaced with blue at most traffic lights.
Tumblr media
------
Vampires tolerate cold and prolonged starvation well. They require less water, and their food is the blood of most living things and the sap of some plants. Their stomach digests blood and receives a lot of necessary substances from it. Vampirs lack iron, so pharmacies always have the appropriate vitamins. Vampires can smell blood and intuit where it's warmer and where it's colder.
Tumblr media
------
Giants stand out for their size and slowness. They don't move slowly, but their reactions are slow compared to other races. The anatomical structure is almost the same as that of a human, only some bones are wider. They prefer rhythmic music (that is, they would choose drums rather than fiddle). The creation of many musical genres is attributed to the giants-composers. They can hold their breath for an average of four minutes without training, but they are not the best swimmers.
Tumblr media
------
Elves are light and fast. They are able to hear a large range of sounds, mostly high pitched. Elves have pointed ears and they have some mobility. Their eyes are slightly more sensitive to light, which gives them something similar to night vision. They're good at navigating at dusk. They have very flexible fingers, so flexible that they can take a mug with the back of their hand.
Tumblr media
------
Dwarves. They have a much smaller height, but a very dense structure of muscles. They are not very good at swimming and will be the first to lose consciousness when climbing a mountain. Their eyes also have a semblance of night vision. The bones are stronger than human bones, but, logically, smaller. They can be unexpectedly heavy. Be able to distinguish between seismic vibration.
Tumblr media
-------
Humans are the most numerous race in the entire world. They are somewhat inferior to the demons in the speed of gaining muscle in physical training and on average have a much lower speed than the elves. Distinguish most shades of the color scheme. Founder of the first empire and the first Navy. Full-fledged explorers of the seas. Round-the-world travelers and discoverers are people.
Tumblr media
-------
There is a historical event called the "Great War". This happened in the Middle Ages. It is so called because in this war, which lasted about 20 years, all 7 races participated in one way or another. It was not the biggest war, but it found its place in world history. The Taiga Grove, the territory for which this war was fought, was eventually declared the territory of the dragon clan that fought in this war, but after global mixing, it became the North American taiga.
------
•Centaurs are an extinct people.
•Lancars are an extinct people.

The first of my inspired by music pieces
Paring: Future!Draken x Reader
Rating: SFW
Fic: Fluff, romance
Author’s Note: I used _____ instead of y/n cause I wanted to see how I liked it. I really hate seeing “y/n” for some reason lol
“Castle on a hill / let’s build it out of steel / girl, I know that this love, it will last / journey up the road / ain’t gotta take it slow / you know that I don’t want no one else … It’s like heaven, oh, feels like heaven when I’m with you”
Draken is the type of man who appreciates every moment every moment with you. Whether it’s some grand occasion or cuddling on the couch watching tv — he cherishes them all the same. But, if he had to pick his favorite moments with you, it would be when he whisks you away on his bike — embarking on random adventures and taking pictures with the Polaroid camera you got him. It’s similar to what’s happening right now, but instead of his bike, you’re riding in his car. Also this isn’t some random adventure, though Draken won’t tell you where you’re going. The camera hangs from the rear view mirror, his left hand intertwined with your right, a nice breeze kissing your face, your playlist and Draken’s heartwarming smile — the ingredients for the perfect car ride.
“Where are we going?” you ask for the millionth time, interrupting Draken’s rendition of Isaiah Rashad’s verse on West Savannah. He cuts his eyes at you for a second before continuing to rap the lyrics without saying a word to you. “I’ll cut it off,” you threaten him, raising your phone to remind him that you are in charge of music.
“Damn,” you hear him playfully smack his teeth, “just enjoy the ride. we’re almost there.” he smiles, cutting up the music before you have a chance to reply.
You pout, but he doesn’t notice — too busy concentrating on the winding roads. Deciding to leave him because he looks particularly focused, you look out the window — lush green trees waving as Draken speeds past. Before you know it the destination leaves your mind and the journey is all that matters. Your playlist flows from one melodic song into the next, creating a smooth ride with zero skips. Soon enough Draken is pulling over on the side of the road — a few miles from the town you rode through and a good distance from the closest house. He grabs the camera and exits the car, you skeptically follow suit.
“Um,” you examine your surroundings, eyes taking in the open field. “where are we?”
“Our future home,” he laughs, quickly pulling out the camera to snap a photo, capturing your confused face. The sound of the film emerging is akin to a timer — Draken is just waiting for the lightbulb in your brain to go off. He places it in his oversized pocket to shield it from the sun — he’d hate for exposure to ruin this perfect photo.
“I’m confused.”
“It’s a plot of land.”  he narrows his gaze — you’re smart but sometimes he worries. “I bought it. I’m paying a contractor to build our house here.” simple sentences that work magic. Your confusion turns into pure joy and he snaps a photo just as you begin to cry. He does the same thing — placing the photo in his pocket — before joining you on the land. He’s behind you, hands around your waist as he utters romantic words.
“You’re joking,” you laugh, completely overwhelmed.
“I’m so serious.”
“We’re an hour from the city. What about the shop?” panic ensues, eyes wide in fear. Had he thought about the consequences of his actions. everything he’s worked so hard for is in Tokyo
“Some days I’ll take the train, some days I’ll drive. It’s pretty peaceful.” He shrugs, “you work from home.”
“Your apartment?”
“We can keep it for when we want to stay in Tokyo.”
“But we’re not even —,”
Draken has a solution for every problem you bring up — this is no different. He’s a mind reader, not allowing you to finish your foolish statement as he slips a ring in your finger. to Draken it doesn’t matter if you were married or not, but now feels like the time — everyday with you is perfect. the metal is cool against your skin — it’s the only way you know this moment is real. rings have never been your accessory of choice; it feels so forgein, but this engagement ring feels right. “but we can be,” his voice vibrates against your ear. “Marry me,” he places a gentle kiss on your cheek. it’s more of a statement and less of a question but he still expects an answer. all you can do is nod enthusiastically — forgetting how to even speak. “Oi, say something,” he teases, squeezing you tight.
“Yes,” you turn around to meet his gaze with teary eyes. hand snaking around his neck, pulling him down so you can kiss him.
He learned his lesson long ago — tell the people you love that you love them while they’re still around to hear you say it. But honest and responsible Draken has never been a man of many words, he’s a man of action. He’s not too cool to show you he loves you — he’s well past that phase of his life.
It’s silent on your ride from the plot of land that will soon be your shared home — the home you’ll eventually start a family in. The home where you’ll host events and gather with your friends. You’re looking out the window as Draken drives through the countryside, absentmindedly turning the ring on your finger while you watch the stars. He takes small glances every now and then to make sure you’re still awake and admire your beautiful side profile. “This is like heaven,” he says, squeezing your thigh, imagining your future together.  “I love you, ____.”
Turning toward him with a sincere smile, a smile that makes him blush, you reply, “I love you too, Ken.”

He’s my soulmate
Kuroo x f!Reader soulmate AU
There is no importance with Jeopardy, it’s just something that popped in my head so I went with it. 
You can communicate telepathically with your soulmate, sending thoughts and feelings to them. it’s a skill that develops through time after you hit 17.  it takes a few months for the connection to grow so for the first little while not a lot comes through. So far you have similar songs getting stuck in your head and thoughts will come through quietly. You tried once to send specific messages but you never had any responses to them so you tried to just go about your day, excited with any thought or songs that come through.
(Touch is what strengthens the connection)
♡´・ᴗ・`♡♡´・ᴗ・`♡♡´・ᴗ・`♡♡´・ᴗ・`♡♡´・ᴗ・`♡♡´・ᴗ・`♡
“God y/n I don’t know why you like to watch Jeopardy so much” your best friend, Michimiya, says from her spot in your bed, textbooks surrounding her and notes spread out, across from your matching space that has a small circle where you were sitting. You had gotten up to stretch your legs from sitting so long studying, Jeopardy reruns running on your tv in the corner, “I feel like watching it makes me smarter and I need all the help I can get” you say with a laugh and she rolls her eyes. “You’re doing a lot better. I almost don’t worry about you” she says with a sigh and you laugh more.
The signature Jeopardy song that plays during the final round starts and you can’t help but do one of the tiktok dances that you were trying to learn, usually set to that love shack mix but now set to this slower pace, you hit all the correct moves after days of practice and when the segment ends on the tv you bust into giggles with Michimiya, falling to your knees by the bed and wiping the tears from your eyes from laughing so hard at your stupidity. “Your crackhead energy is why we’re friends” she says as she catches her breath, holding her stomach. 
His game was flawless, his receives were perfect, but his team couldn’t help but be so damn annoyed with him. “Oh my GOD if YOU DON'T stop humming that damn song I’m gonna PUNCH YOU”  Yamamoto shouts from across the gym “calm down” Kenma says and Yamamoto turns back to him “HE'S BEEN HUMMING THE JEOPARDY SONG FOR DAYS NOW! I CAN'T TAKE IT.“
“Take a lap Yamamoto and relax!” Kuroo says with a laugh as he bounces a volleyball on his forearms “and I’ll stop humming the song… for now” he laughs again as Yamamoto groans but nonetheless follows orders
You were handed your exams but you’re too afraid to look, if you fail this one you’ll have to stay here and won't be able to help with the training camp. You shove it in your notebook, you couldn’t bring yourself to look at the score. you’ll just wait, you’ll ask someone else to look first. Once your class ends you hurry out to the gym as fast as you could, hopping the last few steps of the stairs and holding your backpack down as you run. 
“Y/N! Did you pass?!” Tanaka shouts as you run through the door, leaving your street shoes by the door you run over to him, your feet sliding across the wood floor in your tights, “Tanaka please, I haven’t looked, you gotta tell me” you say in a rush, holding out your notebook. He laughs and takes your notebook from your hands, his eyebrows furrow as he opens it, looking over your test inside the flap, he sighs “oh I’m so sorry Y/n..” your heart drops “..no” you say and he starts to giggle “i’m so sorry that you’ll have to deal with us for two days at camp!! YOU PASSED!” you gasp and then laugh, punching his shoulder “Tanaka you ass!” you take your notebook back and look at the score, pride filling your heart, you did it. You feel amazing. “Kiyoko! Yachi! Our girl’s coming to camp with us!” Tanaka says with tears in his eyes walking toward Kiyoko with his arms out for a hug, Kiyoko walks under Tanaka’s arm, ignoring him and walking over to you “we knew you’d do it” she says with a smile patting your arm, Tanaka getting comforted by Noya in the background.
That night as you packed your bags you closed your eyes, thinking hard about your soulmate. “I don't know if you can hear me, but I passed my exams. I am so happy and I hope you are having a good day as well” 
Kuroo stopped in the middle of his sentence, his phone call with Kenma forgotten about for the time being, as your voice drifted into his thoughts, it’s been a week since he last heard anything from you other than Jeopardy or vines you have on repeat in your head. He hasn’t even seen the vine that goes ‘a potato flew around my room’ but he knew that song was stuck in your head for four days. Your voice fades from his mind and he registers Kenma saying his name repeatedly in his ear “sorry what was i saying?” Kenma sighs “we’re talking about camp tomorrow” 
“So this is Nekoma High” you say as you exit the bus with the team, two players standing waiting for you as you arrive, one tall, handsome, albeit cocky looking, with dark hair that reminded you of a rooster, the other gave you the impression he was like Tanaka, who was currently was pointing out a nearby tower with Noya and getting excited thinking it was Tokyo tower. “Woah is that?” Noya exclaims “i think it is!!” Tanaka answers him, when they spoke at the same time “the sky tree!” they were so excited you knew right then and there they shared the same one singular brain cell. 
 “those poor idiots” you think to yourself as you look at them. “No that's just a regular old steel tower” says one of the boys, you turn your head seeing the tall one holding his stomach in laughter.
You make your way around to stand by the other girls to see if they knew who these two were ``hey who is the tall one?” you whisper at Kiyoko she leans in close to your ear and whispers “Kuroo. Their captain. The other being Yamamoto ” you look over at him “Kuroo…He is really cute” you think with a smirk and then blush as he makes eye contact with you, his eyebrows raised as he first sees you, almost like he heard you say his name. 
Really cute…” the last bit of your thought echoes quietly in his mind in a voice he is semi familiar with, from your voice singing songs in his head, your laugh that comes through sometimes. Of course he didn’t know it was you yet, he looks up and notices you staring at him, “who is she?” he thinks to himself, barely catching Yamamoto talking about how jealous he was that Karasuno has three girls! One sexy, one cute, and one beautiful. “Take a look, Tiger Head. behold the glory of going to Karasuno high!” Tanaka says jumping in front of you and the girls.  You were so beautiful, he would be blind to think otherwise, but he quickly pushes the thought away, focusing on the rivalry and not the pull he feels to go to you, continuing his conversation with Daichi. “Lets go” Kiyoko says and you all just ignore Tanka and the Tiger head, walking around them and going on ahead.
After getting settled in the room you were sharing with Kiyoko and Yachi, you three made your way back to the gym, your thoughts stayed fixed on the captain. You maintain the water bottles and chat with the other managers as your team warms up. 
Your body was acutely aware of where Kuroo was at all times. You could look up to where he was at any given moment, like a small vibration is your body pulling you in his direction, you tried your hardest to push that feeling away. You had a soulmate, you knew his inner voice and got some of his thoughts from time to time. He loved alternative music and hated this one commercial that comes on the radio for cat food. The jingle getting stuck in his head always came with a feeling of annoyance every time it came into your head. just because the connection wasn’t strong yet didn’t mean you could like someone else! 
You felt semi guilty about feeling this way, feeling like you would like nothing more than to talk to someone who isn’t your soulmate. You tried to forget about it. To just get through this camp.
 You watch as your boys do their penalty lap, you zone out, the Jeopardy theme song going through your head and you chuckle to yourself at how dumb it is. “I swear to GOD Kuroo if you don't STOP with the Jeopardy song already I’m going to quit volleyball and I mean this” your eyes flash over to where the Nekoma team is playing, your eyes immediately landing on Kuroo who is laughing at Yamamoto. “Wait,” you think to yourself,  His eyes flash to you and he cocks his head at you with a smile. You mouthed the word “Jeopardy?” and raised your eyebrows in a questioning manner. 
His cheeks flush, your questioning eyes on him made him feel slightly embarrassed for some reason, he just scratches the back of his neck and shrugs with a smile at you. You smile and shake your head slightly, it couldn’t be him, it’s just a coincidence.. it had to be. You break eye contact with him when Kiyoko gets your attention, needing help with something. He watches as you follow Kiyoko out of the gym, smiling back at you when you turn back to look at him with a smile before you exit the gym.
 He stays looking at the door, a smile on his lips, until Yamamoto hits him in the side of the head with a volleyball “you’re being creepy” Yamamoto says and Kuroo scowls “ I am not being creepy! I’m just being nice” “yeah whatever” Kenma says, not really caring about whatever was happening “just toss the ball” 
You cheer for your boys while keeping an eye out on the rest of the teams you could see, making little notes in your notebook about moves you see that your team could implement and do better. Writing down things you wanted to talk with Kiyoko about later. Your notes were very organized and split into sections on your paper. You rejoiced in your heart when Kageyama and Hinata made it on time for the last game, cheering outwardly when they won. “Nice one guys!” you yell and begin to discuss plays with Kiyoko. 
When your voice rang through the gym his body erupted in goosebumps.  What a weird reaction he thinks, he shakes his head and gets back to his own team. 
You stay behind for a few moments, watching the Nekoma game, watching Kuroo especially. You couldn't drag your eyes from him, he was beautiful and he played beautiful, if anyone noticed, and by god Kiyoko and Kenma both had, you had stars in your eyes for that captain. 
“Y/n let's go” Kiyoko says and you nod “of course” you respond and follow her and the rest of the team out of the gym, Kuroo catches the sight of you disappearing out the door, frowning at the reaction he had in his chest, a longing he didn’t understand. 
You ended up getting to shower later at night, you got distracted talking to some of the other managers and when you went back to your room you found the other girls already back from the showers ``sorry guys, i’ll be quick and come in quiet if you go to sleep” “don’t worry about it y/n. I'm sure Saeko will be back late since she went out.” Kiyoko says and you nod with a bow before hurrying out of the room and down the hall to the women's locker room. 
Okay, running down the hallway in the dark was probably a bad idea, but in your defense you assumed everyone was in bed already. You did not expect to jog face first into someone.
 Your face hits someone's chest, you know it is a man because of how he smells. Like clean clothes and mint. You hit your butt with an “oof” quickly picking your clothes up from the ground and shouting “I'm sorry!” the man chuckles and crouches down, picking up your shirt handing it to you, “hey don’t worry about it” his voice is soft, sending tingles down your spine and you look up into his face “Kuroo!” you say in shock and he chuckles some more, taking your hand and helping you up. Now that your eyes have adjusted to the dark hallway you can see him now, wet hair slicked back and a towel around his neck, a small nervous smile on his face lit up from the outside light through the window, “I don’t think we've met yet but yes, I am Tetsuro Kuroo” he holds out his hand to you. 
Your belly fills with butterflies when you take his hand, giving it a firm shake, “Y/f/n Y/l/n. It's nice to meet you” you smile up at him and his chest tightens, you are so beautiful he hardly knows what to say. “Are you okay?” his voice was soft, nervous, he tries to hide it by clearing his throat “yeah i'm okay. How's your chest?” you feel bad for hitting him so hard and before you realize what you’re doing your hand is already on his chest, softly smoothing down his shirt and feeling his muscles through the thin fabric. He chuckles softly and your hand stops above his heart and you feel your cheeks flush with heat at your actions ``my chest is fine. Don’t worry about me.” you hesitantly look back up into his eyes “uh.. Sorry” you say quietly and go to drop your hand but he places his over yours quickly “it’s okay” his lips never moved, his mouth in a small smile as he looks down at you, you didn’t notice that his voice came into your thoughts. 
You stayed like that, standing in the dark, smiling at each other with your hands together on his chest. You could feel his heartbeat strong under your palm, your heart racing as hard as his, you felt like the world stopped for you two. 
The sound of footsteps pulled you both from your bubble, you dropped your hand and you both chuckled softly, when Kenma appeared in the dark you took it as the perfect moment to slip away, quietly running down in the opposite direction to shower and pretend like that moment never happened. 
The next morning you were watching the team warm up, “How do you think we will do with their new player, Lev?” Kiyoko asks you and Yachi as you sit on the sidelines together, “I don’t know, Hinata’s quick attack works great but I feel like it’s nearing the end, these teams are getting better at combating it since Hinata doesn't aim at all with his eyes closed and Lev is t a l l”  you watch them warm up with your hand on your chin, chewing your lip. “their attack is really amazing though” Yachi says, sending heart eyes towards Hinata. You chuckle at the sweet girl’s obvious crush.
At first he thinks the laugh is in his head, a familiar sound he has heard many times. He’s almost convinced it’s in his head but then his gaze is drawn to your sweet smile as you laughed at the girl beside you. “Her laughter is so sweet” Yamamoto says with a sigh a smile, Kuroo slaps the back of his head “focus on the game” he just got mad at him for paying attention to you but he can't seem to stop looking at you himself. It’s just a coincidence your laughs are similar.
“y/n it seems Kuroo can’t stop looking at you” Kiyoko says and you chuckle again, your face flushing as you remember the night prior, you try to inconspicuously look at him but fail when you make eye contact with him. You raise your hand in a small wave and he blushes with a chuckle before he raises his hand, waving with his fingers. The butterflies in your chest will remain for the rest of the day. 
You look at your notes, a thought coming through so easily, stronger than before, “She's so beautiful. But I don't want to think about that. I have my soulmate, she’s here, in my thoughts. why can’t I get this girl out of my mind though? Just focus on the game” your body floods with tingles. That was the clearest thought you’ve ever got. “if I can hear you can you hear me?” you think back, not noticing Kuroo across the gym practice serving the ball and missing it at thelast second, the same second your voice entered his head. 
“You’re here?” His voice enters your head, its so strong instead of it seeming far away or weak like usual. Kuroo’s laugh fills the gym followed by remarks from several members of his team but all of that seemed so far away compared to your soulmate connection. “How did the connection suddenly become so strong?” you think back and immediately get a response “I don't know but I am not complaining”  his excited laughter and joy fills your thoughts, and you feel his energy flood into you as well “me either” you say back and then the volleyball game begins “talk more later?” you ask him in your thoughts and he sends back “definitely”  why did his voice sound so familiar? 
The game ends, Karasuno taking another penalty lap as you go to refill water bottles. “You still there?” his voice makes you smile “of course” you send back “Now that the connection is open I don't know what to say” his chuckle in your mind makes you feel deja vu, where had you heard it before. “Should we tell each other our names?” you ask and put the filled bottles back in the holder,  walking back to the bench with a smile on your face.  “Yeah that makes sense, my name is Tetsuro” you freeze, your eyes flicking over towards Kuroo who was talking to Kenma about something, his cheeks were flushed but that could have been from the game. Is that why his voice in your head sounds familiar now? Is that why you feel so drawn to him?
Your thought was gentle back to him “Tetsuro...Kuroo?” you watch him, watch the shock that went through his expression, heard him laugh nervously as his voice came into your head “do you know me?” it sounded nervous, you watched him with a smile, “i know of you. Mr. Captain of Nekoma’s volleyball team, tall, incredibly handsome, has rooster hair.” you watch his expression, his smile on his lips, his blushing cheeks, he was gorgeous, now that you knew who he was it made sense why you connected with him from the start. “Are you going to tell me who you are?” you look away from  him when you see him turn towards you “I will. After your camp is over. Don’t want to mess you up or anything” 
You glance back at Kuroo who is about to start another game and you find him looking right at you, Kiyoko did tell you that he is a highly observant person.  He raises his eyebrows and you hear his voice in your head “and do you happen to be at this camp too?” he asks and you can’t help but grin at him, you felt like you couldn’t hide anything from him, your previous plan of teasing him is now out the window as you bury your face in your hands, your cheeks feeling warm against your fingers, a smile on your lips. “Focus on your game Tetsu” you say back to him “you are so unbelievably adorable” you look back up at him through your fingertips and he laughs out loud before waving at you. You drop your hands and smile shyly, waving back at him. “What will you give me when we win this game? A kiss?” you scoff “you’ll have to win to see” he laughs and winks at you before turning his attention back to his practice game. “Are you paying attention?” Kiyoko says and you turn back to your game “sorry! I am now!” 
The moment his game ends you can feel his eyes on you, after everyone’s had some water “would you mind..” his voice comes through softly, you can feel how excited he is, how antsy he is, your feelings mirrored back at you “where?” you glance over at him, standing next to the wall with his teammates cooling down, he pushes off the wall, saying something to his team before he is headed in your direction, never taking his eye off you “meet me in the hallway” you nod and then turn to Kiyoko “excuse me for a second” she nods and you stand, walking out to the hallway, Kuroo right behind you. 
The moment you’re alone he takes your hand and pulls you to his chest, taking a deep breath with his face buried in your hair “hey” you say softly into his chest, your hands wrapping around his middle and holding him close despite how sweaty he was, his sweat actually smelled... nice? You couldn't explain it. It just felt right. “My girl” he says and pulls back just enough to look into your eyes “so what is my prize for winning the game?” he asks and you laugh “am I not enough” he laughs with you “you are a thousand times more than enough and probably too good for me too. But I can't lie, I’m dying to kiss you” your cheeks flush “then do it” you whisper and move your hands to his neck, standing on your tiptoes to get closer to him. His hands move to cup your cheeks and he blushes as he leans down slow, closing the distance between you both. 
“Is she tongue kissing the enemy?!” Tanaka shouts behind you, causing you and Kuroo to separate quickly, looking over at your team who just came out into the hallway. You blush and go to explain but before you do Daichi is herding the team the other direction. “Mind your business Tanaka. y/n we are leaving in ten minutes” you laugh embarrassedly “okay i'll be there in a minute”
Kuroo takes your hand and pulls you into an empty room “I don't want you to go” he says with a laugh and you  nod, wrapping your arms around his neck “me either” you whisper and look into his eyes as you close the distance, pressing your body against his and he holds you tight to his chest, a blush rising on his neck and cheeks as his eyes flick down to your lips for a moment “but I’m sure we will figure it out, plus i’ll be back with the team for the summer camp as well” he nods “you’re right” his voice, you realized, was in your head again, your eyes flutter closed as his lips finally connect to yours, you can feel him smile against you and your body feels electric as tingles run from your head to your toes, you felt as though you were weightless. A soft sigh exiting your lips has him licking your top lip, taking your chuckle as a good sign to rub his tongue gently against yours, you moan quietly and his heart races, his stomach knotted with butterflies and electric sparks running down his spine. 
You bite his bottom lip and pull back a little before kissing his chin and the pepper kisses down across his jaw, pulling yourself tight against him as you kiss his neck “I have to go, they might leave me” you whisper and he groans, half in protest against you leaving half because you started to suck a small part of his skin on the side of his neck. 
When you were satisfied with your handiwork you pulled back, kissing the hickey softly before finally pulling away from him “something to remember me by” you say with a cheeky grin and turn to go, he laughs and grabs your hand, pulling you back to him to give you one last kiss. “Be safe, send me” he taps your temple “your phone number, tell me when you get home” you nod and smile, your heart bursting at the seams with happiness “I will Tetsu. Don’t worry” you kiss his lips once more, looking into his eyes for a few seconds, before forcing yourself to open the door and run down the hallway towards the exit and the bus that is taking you back to Karasuno. 
The whole team looks at you with raised eyebrows and silence as you walk on the bus, running your hand through your hair, panting from running all the way there, “what?” you say with a laugh, your cheeks flushing with slight embarrassment as you make your way to an open seat seat by Yachi, “he’s my soulmate”

“Darling, what’s wrong?” He asks. You’ve woken him up with your screams and wild kicking. You cannot see his face, only the whites of his eyes that look terrifying in the empty darkness. There is tenderness is his voice, and concern. You know he loves you and you know that your nightmares scare him, though they aren’t that often. They aren’t nightmares at all, to be honest, it’s the ending that makes you wake yourself up with hoarse shouts. Is it still a bad dream if only the last part is bad?
“Susan,” he calls again. You can hear him breathe. “Susan, are you alright?”
Are you? More alright than ever before. And less. How could you ever explain it?
“Yes,” you whisper finally into the darkness. “Yes, I’m fine. It’s just another nightmare.”
“Are you sure? You were shouting so loud…”
You smile unwillingly at the warmth in his voice. He loves you more than he loves anything but he does not understand. He will never understand. Nobody could but them…and they’re gone.
“Yes, I’m sure. I just…need a breath of fresh air.”
“Alright. But please don’t stay out for too long, it’s chilly outside.”
“Sure, my love. Don’t worry,” you answer, not knowing if you’ll keep the promise.
Sometimes you just want to run away.
To be barefoot and let your hair loose, to feel the cold air brush your skin with tenderness. To feel like a free little girl again. Like the one who made up those Narnia stories with her not-yet-dead siblings. Like the one who believed them to be more true than reality.
You grab your coat and step outside quietly. It’s a June night, fresh and cool, full of scents. Roses have bloomed already, and the earth smells of rain. You breathe it all in and then exhale slowly. Your head is throbbing with images you’ve never thought you’d see again.
In your dreams the sky is bluer than it had ever been in England. The sun is radiant and bright, it looks…younger than the sun you know. The air smells of peaches and bluebells. The air is warm, but not hot, with every breath it makes your smile wider. You can hear the softest ringing of the springs and the whisper of new apple leaves, and laughter. It’s higher than normal laughter, had you not heard it somewhere before already, you would have thought it no laughter at all.
A girl appears in front of you, but she isn’t a girl exactly. She looks too thin to be alive and too happy to be standing on her feet. She is as light as a feather and when she laughs, her hair shakes, and you realise that it’s not hair at all — but leaves. Tree leaves! She doesn’t scare you though, she just comes closer and takes your hands in hers, she spins you around, and you hear music.
That’s her laughter. The world around you is now nothing but hues and colours. Emerald green, baby blue, desert pink, dark brown, bright gold. You can only see her face clearly, her eyes are black and more beautiful than anyone’s you’ve ever met. They are more than alive. They are stars.
Suddenly, her laughter grows louder. It’s more and more high-pitched, now you’re certain she’s not laughing anymore. In fact, there is no her. Only a noise, long and scary. Is it…is it a train?
It’s a train! But the realisation doesn’t bring clarity, and it doesn’t bring relief either. You hear the noise grow and grow, until you cannot feel anything but it’s vibrations. The next thing you feel is a crush.
It deafens you. You have no senses anymore. You have no feelings. Only your eyes that see nothing at all.
And then see Lucy. The confusion in her eyes is similar to Peter’s, who is right beside her. Edmund’s face is sad and horrified. It’s as if he’d felt it too.
They all disappear in the emptiness seconds later. It can’t be filled. It can’t be lit up. It can’t be destroyed.
So you scream.
You scream at the top of your lungs, your scream is louder than a horn.
Why a horn? Where did that come from? You don’t know.
The darkness in front of you changes instantly. It isn’t cold and buzzing anymore. It’s warm and soft, and full of your husband’s voice.
But inside you’re still there. You’re still dancing with that forest nymph under the warm sun. You’re still dying in a train crush to the sound of a honk. You’re still in the disarming, mad emptiness.
The June night feels a bit more cold than it did some minutes ago. How could you explain this?
How could you even try to?

A tiny glimpse into the final scene of Chapter 2 + What’s to come
                            I smile back and rub my neck a little. "The only instrument I have is my voice. I practice by myself at home a lot, but I was also in choir at school." I let out an amused chuckle, "Man, they used to make us sing the [i]worst[/i] stuff. We had this song we had to sing for the Holiday concert, and the entire thing was about getting socks as a present."
                           ${eli} lets out a small laugh, "Really? That bad?"
                           "Oh yeah, it definitely was. Although we did get to sing some good ones too, one of which was 'Footloose'. I still sing that song to myself in the shower sometimes." I faintly laugh in return, remembering the days back in elementary school when things were just so much more carefree.
                           "In fact," I continued, "I strictly remember one girl in the front row of the chorus, Rhonda Simmons. On the very last line of the song, on the big finisher, she sung it so loud that it cracked every window in the auditorium."
                           ${eli}'s eyes widened with a smile. "Surely not."
                           I chuckled a little, "It's true, it's true. Her mutation had to do with her voice being amplified." My smile starts to fade a little, "She had a, uh… a great voice."
                           ${eli}'s smile starts to falter as well when ${NPCGender1} sees my expression shift. "Is something the matter?"
                           "Sorry, I just remembered…" I pause for a moment, recalling the events that took place afterward. "When chorus started the next year, I noticed she wasn't there. Turns out her mutation was one that affected her larynx and made it produce sound by amplifying its vibrations. During winter break, on Christmas, her parents got her this cheap karaoke machine." A sad smile forms on my lips for a couple of seconds and I shake my head, but the smile fades just as fast and my features turn mournful. "When she saw what they got her she screamed out in joy… Her vocal chords tore themselves apart."
                           ${eli} gazed at me with a stoic sympathy, simply sitting there and waiting until I was done. When ${NPCGender1} was sure that I was, ${NPCGender1} spoke in a soft, almost monotonous tone. "That's also part of our job, you know."
                           I stare up at ${NPCGender27}, confused.
                           "It's not all just catching killers and bringing justice to them. There's an entire subsection of the Mutation Control Team that focuses on rehabilitation and guidance. If someone is possibly able to control their mutation, we offer to help with that. That's why our job is so important, because sometimes the people we track down don't need justice… they simply need a little help."
                           I look back at ${NPCGender27} with a thankful smile and nod. "Thanks."
                           ${NPCGender2} simply nods back in return.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s going to be a little while longer until the chapter is finally out, so I figured why not post a little snippet of it to hold people off? To put it in perspective how massive this scene is, you will have an option to choose whether or not your MC plays a musical instrument. There are a total of 9 options (including not playing one at all) and every single one of them have completely unique responses. This is the response if you chose that your voice is your instrument. 
So please, put those save files to good use, and try out different options! You may learn more about the world, get extra little information about the MCT, or unique dialogues that come up later in the game! A current live example of this that is in the demo is that Elizabeth/Arthur have two entirely separate scenes on the train. If you have >= 15 intelligence when playing chess with them, you play a full game. If you have < 15 intelligence when playing chess with them, the game end very quickly and it takes you to a different scene with unique dialogue. 
Something similar also happens with Kris/Kristina on the train. There’s a specific dialogue option where if you noticed Sarah/Samuel’s panic attack in Chapter 1 (which in the current build is only possible if you have >15 Insightful) it makes a unique choice appear with them on the train. I’m hoping that by the end of the game, even regardless of stats, players will have the ability to have a unique experience in many playthroughs and see a new side of their favorite MCT member every time!
I also wanted to take this opportunity to say that soon, Extra Scenes will be added to the Stats Screen. These scenes will unlock as you make choices in the game and act as short scenes you can go back and reread at any time! For instance, if you get a dialogue option where Sarah/Samuel tells you briefly how they met Kate, you might unlock an Extra Scene in the stats menu where you can actually read through the entire scene of them meeting for the first time.
These are meant to not only add to the replayability, but to also give you scenes that expand the characters, world, and understanding of mutations, all without disrupting the flow of the main story. They will not have stats attached to them, even if they are scenes with the MC that allow you to make choices. I really liked the idea of this and I haven’t heard of it being done in a ChoiceScript game before (I could be extremely wrong about that and if I am then I profusely apologize) so I’m going to try to add these in as I go along.
This was a very lengthy update, and I do apologize, but just know that I am working very hard to make this the best IF I possibly can! Thank you all so much for following the game, and for supporting and believing in me. From the bottom of my heart, it genuinely means a lot, and I hope I don’t disappoint you all and that the book can live up to all the positive reception it’s gotten so far. Thank you all again.

Okay, I'm rereading Feral and it mentioned that since scowling is Kit's go to expression Tenya had to learn what each one meant. So what if he could do the same to Katsuki when he got to UA and just used it to mess with him?
Some Feral content
These headcanons belong to this story
Expect typos, as per the usual my homebody's.
-Tenya truly didn't mean to do it at first. It was on reflex that he recognized what Katsuki was hiding behind his scowl. He and Kit were related after all. They were terrifyingly similar, yet entirely different at the same time. Their expressions were close enough to one another that Tenya was able to pick apart Bakugo's expressions without much thought
-Katsuki Bakugo prides himself on his ability to hide his emotions, no matter how unhealthy his method of masking with anger may be. Even Deku finds it hard to discern him at times. So why in fucks name was fucking Emergency Exit able to know what the was feeling?
-The first time was after their very first training exercise. The one they'd lost. Horribly. Shitty Deku had somehow managed to spawn himself a fucking quirk. Katsuki hadn't wanted to be paired with RoboCop, and Tenya wasn't jumping with joy at the thought either. But it happened nonetheless. They came, they participated, and they failed miserably.
-Katsuki was reasonably upset. His frustration, confusion, and disappointment in himself portrayed outwardly as piping hot rage that made all his new classmates take a minor step back for fear of losing a limb. Tenya hadn't seen it that way, though. One look at Katsuki's face told him that the explosive teen wasn't truly mad. He was scared.
-Tenya assured him offhandedly that there was nothing to be afraid of! That though it was intimidating to have such skilled classmates, that only illustrated how hard they'd have to work to keep up. Katsuki nearly combusted on the spot. Tenya was already walking away before he could say shit.
-But how had he known?
-It kept happening. In their study period he blew up, shrieking at all the extras to shut the fuck up and that they were idiots. And fucking Engine Legs had simply looked up, looked at him, and then claimed that it was fine to listen to music during this period if he was having trouble focusing. That he wouldn't be reprimanded, as Present Mic had heartily given them permission to use their phones. How the fuck had he gotten distraction from his fit of curses? How'd he know that shit?
-Izuku was actually the first to connect the dots and realize Tenya's hidden talent. Despite having grown up with him, even Izuku struggled to pick apart what Kacchan's different expressions meant. Kit has been a way for Tenya to ease into the field and master it quickly. This was a unique ability nobody else had. One that would be fun to fuck around with.
-Yeah, it took a little manipulation on Izuku'd part. Not anything bad! Tenya was just uptight and hesitant. Izuku wasn't a genius for nothing, though. He got his friend on board and a part of the scheme in no time.
-Katsuki was a private person. So when Emergency Exit started fucking about and calling out every little thing he was feeling, he was fucking pissed.
-The offhanded "I too thought Kirishima's display was impressive" and the mild "Jealousy isn't a good trait for a hero to have!" made Katsuki vibrate with absolute, unbridled rage. How did he know?! How the fuck was he doing this?! Even Katsuki's own mother wasn't as good at deciphering him as this fucker was.
-Izuku became quick friends with Round Face and the Icyhot fuck. Katsuki felt sour about this, admittedly. It felt weird not to have the nerd trailing him. It was like something was... missing. Which was shit seeing as he'd gone to a different middle school their last year, but this was different! It... It fucking hurt.
-And of course engine fucker knew this. Why the fuck wouldn't he?!
-For weeks, Katsuki was driven insane. Fucking batshit. People started calling RoboCop the "Bakugo Whisperer" as though he were some sort of animal. Which sure, he acted like one sometimes, but fuck off! It didn't make any sense. How was it possible?! They weren't friends. They didn't know shit about one another. So how the fuck?!
-Answers came on a Saturday night when his shit ass cousin was scheduled to have his shitty boyfriend over to converse more with the hag and his dad. Katsuki was forced to comply and come down to participate in the dinner. He was instructed to be on his best behavior. He could hardly keep himself from jumping at Kit's throat as the bitch grinned slickly at him. His parents had already met Kit's bitch, so why did this matter so much??
-He wasn't super sure what he expected. Some delinquent a few years older than Kit. Maybe some tattoos and the tell tale smell of smoke most cigarette addicts carried. A leather jacket and ratty jeans. Piercings and gaudy jewelry, perhaps.
-The last thing he thought he'd be seeing as Tenya fucking Iida walking through the door, smiling politely and giving his greetings to the hag and his dad. Everything crashed down around him. Light shone down on a million realizations he hadn't seen before. Katsuki could only do one thing. The thing he did best.
-He blew the fuck up

Ok, so several of you said you wanted to hear what my dumb/corny fic ideas were so here they are lol
So remember this sentence starter where Peter says "Why’d you never tell me you could paint like that?" Well... I have an idea for a fic that would kinda expand on that. So, Reader is really good at drawing, but they tell absolutely no one. Their work is really popular on the internet, but they use an alias so no one connects them to their art because they don't like attention. Well, then this crazy dude captures the Guardians because he somehow found out the connection and threatens to expose Reader as the artist (for bragging rights and/or money for having been the one to find them) unless they draw for him (like I said, he's insane lol) but Reader is all like "You got the wrong person. That's not me!" until the villain threatens the rest of the guardians and they confess out of fear for their friends.
I also have another that's similar to the first one, but where the Reader plays piano instead. And instead of an evil villian wanting the reader to "Play for me or else I'll expose you" it's more of a sadistic guy putting the guardians through a bunch of trials where one trial is playing the piano but Reader pretends they don't know how (out of fear of missing a note and getting them all killed) until Rocket (who secretly caught them playing a piano on a job) is like "They know how to play!" and makes Reader do it.
One where Peter rescues Reader from captivity on another planet and convinces Yondu to bring them on as a Ravager. However, like all the other Ravagers, Reader must go through a physical first, (because I believe Yondu would want to make sure he wasn't taking on any seriously ill or contagious crew). Well, the day of Reader's physical Yondu is called to "deal with the new crew member." Turns out Reader tried to bite the ship's doctor. Why? Because during the abdominal exam (where the doctor palpates[pushes on] Readers tummy) it tickled, but Reader both hates being tickled and is also too embarrassed to admit being ticklish. So, they tell the doc to knock it off, Doc doesn't (to be fair, he's just trying to do his job because he think's reader is in pain but can't pinpoint an area) and then because the Doc just won't quit Reader tries to bite him and then had to be restrained. Cue super embarrassing scene where Reader is being scolded for biting, the guys try to figure out why (Because: "I didn't think you guys were known for biting? Petey here don't bite?"), and eventually Peter just laughs because he realizes you're just ticklish. Then cue more embarrassing moment where Peter explains to Yondu what he means and that, no, it's not something Terrans can be trained out of. Then Yondu's all like "This never leaves this room." because he doesn't want everyone and their brother knowing how to disable his Terrans.
One where Reader "shares" with Mantis. Reader hands her an earbud and they touch palms so Reader can share the happiness of a memory with her. Then they start unconsciously moving almost like a slow dance when the others come in, at which point Reader opens their eyes to find they have an audience and then pulls away blushing because they aren't good with being vulnerable and thought they were alone. This "sharing" then becomes a private thing between Mantis and Reader that reader does sometimes to cheer Mantis up, or just whenever they want to 'give her a gift.' On a mission the guardians get captured and Mantis is scared so she asks for Reader to do the "sharing" thing, and even though Reader is embarrassed to do it in front of the others, they do it anyway so that Mantis won't be scared.
This one is maybe more just a thought than a full fic idea, but one where Reader has secret powers. They think their power is weird and useless so they keep it to themselves. Then one day the team gets captured and thrown in a cell and while the others are arguing about finding a way out, reader gets an idea. They put in their earbuds, kneel down on the floor, and send a vibration in beat to their music into the bars, effectively shaking them until the vibration causes the bolts to fall out and the cell door to collapse, freeing them. This makes them super tired of course, but the others are just standing there wondering what just happened and saying, "You could do that THIS WHOLE TIME???"

All right! Off to liveblog Chapter 9, The Marshal!
Ah yes, recap. “Traveling for me, that’s no life for a kid.”
Except searching and searching for a Jedi takes time. Except Din and the kid fall into routines and habits and sweet little moments throughout the day. Except Din dreams sometimes, in the dark of deep space, that there are no Jedi... that the kid will always need him, and he wakes from these dreams feeling both grateful and guilty
Moff Gideon totally killed those poor Jawas, didn’t he.
What would it be like to be a Jawa, to find joys in scrap and metal, to dream of Egg???
To scavenge, perchance to dream....
I LOVE LOVE LOVE all the graffiti art for this scene
Also, Grogu’s pram absolutely got scorched in the flame trooper’s assault and Din didn’t go back for it or anything. Yet they’re using the one Kuiil made? This bothers me and it’s so petty.
3PO made it into the graffiti <3
Grogu is a budding art critic, change my mind
Gor Koresh, such a dick. But I love the music being so reminiscent of Jabba’s palace! Ludwig Goransson, you’ve done it again
I wonder if Grogu gets overwhelmed picking up Force vibrations in crowds? Is that a thing? Or does he mostly just get senses from other Force-sensitives?
Wherever I go, he goes. BECAUSE HE’S YOUR SON DINGUS
I can’t believe how adorable Din is, going on to total creepos about the fact that he has Been Quested
It just speaks to a very sweet earnestness on his part
“Put up your armor for the info” and Din: swivels his head like woah
What is Gor Koresh going to DO with the beskar anyway? He’s not even wearing any???? What a prick
He absolutely deserves everything coming to him
But Din even gives him a chance! What an idiot
Kick... BABY! (Anyone else ever play Peasant’s Quest on Homestar Runner???)
I always forget about the whipcord. How do I always forget about the whipcord?
Ooh Mando has a very homey cape this scene, I like
I’m glad he’s leaving this guy to be devoured by monster dogs, he’s gotta protect any other Mandalorians that may run across him
Does Razor Crest strike anyone else as a rather feminine ship? It reminds me of a sea cow. She’s got a belly on her.
PELI MOTTO MY QUEEN
She’s sooooo happy to see Grogu and he’s delighted to see her too and they’re all just so happy together
“I’m here on business.” Does that mean that they sometimes hang out not on business? Oh, what the hell, I’ve already written the fic.
Peli doesn’t dare leave the city walls. But maybe she will again someday? Sit a little in the desert, feel the suns on her face, the wind in her hair?
Is this R2-D5? Like, THAT R2-D5 that the Jawas nearly sold Luke?
The speeder bike has rusted. This lends more credence to my theory that Din and Grogu got to have a good amount of time together!
Grogu LOOOOOVES SPEED
Boy’s gonna be a pilot some day
I just... love... all of Din’s visits with the Sand People so much
Siiiiigh I love all speeder music in this series so much. Again, Ludwig Goransson, YOUR BRAIN
Just imagine being a little kid riding in the speeder with your dad, knowing he’s gonna take care of anything scary, and you get to go fast and see everything and feel the wind and it’s so delightful and you feel so safe even though you’re going 200km an hour <3
Hmm so a whole night fell on the way to Mos Pelgo. I just love watching episodes and looking for pockets of time that I can exploit with fic :)
Just imagine a Tusken calling him out and signing the word for “your son” and Din just having to go with it.
I always forget there is a little notch under the ear piece thing of his helmet. I’ve been drawing the damn thing for 2 months and still don’t have it down.
Short!cape version, activate!
Fake Boba Fett: *arrives*
Did he seriously have spurs back in the day? God I need to rewatch the original trilogy, don’t I?
Din watching Vanth order spotchka and being confused as hell, like “you know we’re not going to drink that in front of anyone, right???”
The body language in this scene is so good. The way Din stops, mid-step, and freezes. Then breathes, heavily, frozen in place. Ready to fight. Pissed as HELL. Take. It. Off.
Oh Din. “He’s seen worse” is not exactly a ringing endorsement for your ability to keep him out of trouble, lol.
Just imagine Grogu curiously feeling the vibrations of the krayt dragon and thinking he’s never felt anything so BIG in the Force before
I always forget what the name is the for the liquefaction of soil during a severe earthquake.... *doublechecks* goddamn it it’s just “soil liquefaction”
Doodle idea: Din having to clean tobacco spit off Grogu’s clothes from the spittoon
Awww Din’s speeder is so tiny next to Cobb’s pod racer engine speeder
Cobb Vanth: *runs away, steals ice cream, I MEAN A CAMTONO*
Yeeeeah running into the desert was maybe not the best way to survive in most cases
Luckily Jawas on Tatooine are honest and want to trade instead of steal his shit
I’m excited to see how shit goes down in the Book of Boba Fett! Do we get to see the Sarlacc escape on screen, FINALLY?
Weequay bartender: “But who WAS that masked man??”
Pew
God I miss the amban rifle so much!
It’s such a weird and sexy weapon
Do the dog things have a name? Tusken snarlies?
Every time Din speaks Tusken I die a little bit because I love it so
Awwwww he’s brushing the bantha’s teeth!!! It’s just very sweet to see
Grogu: ‘plz to not be eating me”
Din: *so fucking impatient about this guy not drinking a fucking gourd*
Grogu: *yay I love it when dad shoots fire!*
I love the sign for “kill it”
I also love how done Din is with petty squabbles, like, at all times
He just has no chill. Just “stop your whining, dammit.”
Grogu: “my dad is so smart”. He’s hanging on to every word Din says
Grogu: *watches dragon* DO NOT WANT
I love it when Din gets sassy. “They might be open to some fresh ideas.”
“It’s to scale.” *cackling*
Din volunteering the village is very yes. I also love when he is just absurdly old-fashioned. “Dragon will kill you if it takes its fancy, yadda yadda”
More energy thoughts from Grogu — everyone focused, tense, worried but Grogu isn’t sure why
A bantha is essentially a ground Appa and my husband votes to rename them a Grappa
Sand People always ride single file, to hide their numbers
Ooooh is this the same “the village rises up to defend itself” motif as when the Sorganites were training with Din and Cara?
It sounds very similar, but I could be making this up entirely
This episode was so fun on first watch but it doesn’t have a ton of emotional heft. I still like it, because I love all of them, but it’s definitely not as ripe for expansion of content as some of the others. Except, of course, to the Din/Cobb shippers, who said “hold my beer” and went off. Have fun, you crazy kids.
Run Sand People run!!!!
Seriously though Star Wars suffers from a serious case of the ecology never making any sense. What do banthas eat???? There’s gotta be SOMETHING for them to eat!
Krayt dragon: LOLOLOLOLOLOL
Mando tiiiiime but imagine Din glancing over to Cobb and for a second forgetting and being glad to fight alongside another Mandalorian but then he isn’t
Also there’s definitely room in this episode to write some cute little camp out scenes with Din and Grogu, awwww
Farewell to Mos Pelgo!

Smut Alphabet - Hawks
It’s big simpin’ hours for everyone’s favorite bird brain hawk man.  Let’s do itttt
A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)
-Hawks will wrap you up in his arms and immediately cuddle the shit out of you.  Lots of words of love and affirmation and reassurance and also kisses all over your face.  He needs to make sure you feel safe and comfortable, especially if it was a particularly intense session.
In terms of what he needs/wants, it’s very similar.  He wants to be held and cuddled and fawned over a bit, and he likes to be reassured, as well.
B = Body (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
-ASS MAN.  Hawks loves that BOOTY and he is not shy about it.  He’s always touching it, smacking it, or even just ogling it.  He loves slipping his hand in your back pocket when you’re out together and will never pass up an opportunity to fluster you in public by giving your ass a sly squeeze.
Honorable mention is thighs!  God damn, he loves him some soft thighs in every way.
Hawks doesn’t spare much thought when it comes to his own body, except for, unsurprisingly, his wings: they are the key component of his image, after all.  He takes a lot of pride in keeping them clean and smooth.  They’re also incredibly sensitive, so he never lets anyone touch them besides himself and you, of course.  In fact, if you play with his wings juuuuust right, he can get off from that alone.
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
-He insists on coming inside (especially if he’s in rut), whether that means downstairs or in your mouth.
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
-Dom the shit out of this man and make him submit to you; he gets off to it super hard.
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
-Hawks has always been popular and attractive so sexual encounters have never been difficult for him to come by (no pun intended).  Rest assured that he very much knows what he’s doing.  That said, he’s never had any kind of serious relationship before you, though.
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
-Hawks is hitting that shit from behind every chance he gets: he needs easy access to that booty obviously
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)
-Hawks loves to be goofy and cute and have fun with you in the moment.  He can definitely be serious, too, but he loves teasing and getting to have some sweet, fun sexy times with you.
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
-Hawks keeps himself clean and trimmed up, especially now that he’s in a serious relationship.  He also always makes it a point to wear the cologne you’d taken a liking to.
Random headcanon: Hawks smells like old leather and dark, warm musky cologne.
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
-Hawks is super romantic!  He loves just kissing and caressing every part of you, telling you how much you mean to him, how much he loves you, and how beautiful he thinks you are.  He’s chosen you as his lifelong mate and he’ll never let you forget why.
Outside of the bedroom, Hawks still maintains the romance.  He’s always got a hold on you when you’re out and adores taking you out to eat or on dates to different places.  His more bird-like tendencies also mean that he’s constantly buying trinkets and shiny things for you as tokens of affection.
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
-He doesn’t masturbate much anymore (it reminds him of a significantly lonelier time).  He only really indulges if he has to be away from you for longer than usual or if he’s in rut (and you’re not available to help him out).
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)
-Breeding, bondage, dom/sub, overstimulation, edging, light impact play, pegging, degradation AND praise, wing play (is that even a thing?  It is now, I guess), snowballing, body worship
L = Location (favorite places to do the do)
-Honestly?  He’s not super picky.  He’s just as happy to take you in his bed as he is to take you on the roof of a high-rise.  He’s cocky and a bit of an exhibitionist, truth be told, so he doesn’t much care about getting caught.
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)
-Play with his wings, particularly near the base where they connect to his back.  The small bit of skin between his wings is also incredibly sensitive.
If we’re being honest, it’s not the least bit difficult for you to seduce Hawks: you manage it without even trying a good amount of the time.  That said, some foolproof methods are: making out, neck kisses, give him The Look (I’m sure you know what I mean).
N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
-Hawks is kinda selfish and possessive so he’s not really willing to share you with anyone else.  He’s also not too keen on hurting you aside from the normal impact play/biting.
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
-Hawks is so God damn good at oral.  Like really fucking good.  And he knows it and will weaponize that shit.  He loves giving and how you squirm and moan and pull his hair and grab his wings: he’d eat you every day if you’d let him.  He loves receiving, too, but giving is really where his horny little heart is.
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
-Hawks doesn’t really have a default pace: it all depends on the situation and he’s exceptionally good at reading the room, so to speak.  The only time he really loses control is during rut when his animal brain takes over and he needs to have you until his body literally gives out.
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
- Not his go-to, but he can definitely get down with it if it works best for the situation (and with how easily worked up he gets).
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)
-Hawks is an open-minded dude, so he’s down to try a lot of shit at least once, especially if you’re really gunning for it.
I touched on this a little earlier, but he’s also not really bothered by the thought of someone catching him messing around with you.  It would just be an opportunity to show off, in his mind.
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)
-Hawks can go for quite a few rounds (and don’t even think about when he’s in rut because HOO BOY THAT’S A WHOLE OTHER STORY).  He’s the number 2 pro hero so you know his stamina’s top tier.
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)
-First off, I am firmly in the #peghawks2020 camp so you KNOW he’s gettin’ the strap on the reg.
Anyway, yeah, Hawks can get down with some toys.  He actually likes to use his feathers as toys from time to time, too.
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
-He likes to tease, but not too much.  Frankly, he’s just kind of impatient and gets too worked up himself from the teasing.  You’re cute when you’re flustered, though, and he wouldn’t give up that sight for the world.
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
-Boy can get LOUD when he’s really in the zone.  Moans, growls, whimpers, it’s all on the menu.  He’s also prone to making pleased little chirping noises or warbles when you give him affection, complete with some wing twitches for good measure.
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
-I have many but I guess I’ll just pick my favorite: Hawks loves to dance with you.  Doesn’t matter what kind, he just can’t get enough of watching your body move and feeling you against him.  He can also feel the vibrations of the music in his feathers and it can be very stimulating.
Dancing also plays into the bird thing as male birds often “dance” in an attempt to seduce a mate, and Hawks is no different.  Sometimes when he’s dancing with you, his wings will flap and puff out like he’s peacocking for you.
X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)
-Hawks has been training his body since he was a kid so he is in fantastic shape.  He’s not super tall, but he’s slim while maintaining that good muscle definition.  He’s stronger than he looks.
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
-It’s HELLA high, y’all, mostly because he’s obsessed with you.  But yeah, he’s almost always in the mood to fool around.
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
-Hawks gets wiped out after sex and you often have to keep him from passing out right you finish.  He just wants to snuggle up to you and doze off ‘cause he’s so happy and content and comfortable.  Even if he’s in rut, he still needs to be holding you when he’s finally spent and ready for sleep.

Survey #384
“watch your tongue or have it cut from your head”
Do you post to say happy birthday on other people’s walls? Sometimes. Depends on my mood and the person. When was the last time you saw a rainbow? Idr. What’s your favorite television commercial? I don't watch TV enough at all to have one. And who has a favorite commercial, anyway? Do you trip a lot? I don't really trip a lot, but kinda fumble over my footing and stray a bit. I'm horrible at walking straight, and it's gotten worse as my legs have. How old is your television? The one in the living room is god knows how old. My parents were still together when they bought it. When did you last talk on the phone with someone? A couple days ago for my appointment with my psychiatrist. Are you currently sleepy? I'm quite convinced I'm permanently tired. Are you hot or cold natured? I am ALWAYS fucking hot, ugh. Do you take any advanced classes? I took mostly Honors classes in school. Do you have weak upper body strength? My body is just weak as a whole. What is the worst insult someone can call you? Emotionally weak. Are you good at sketching? If we're talking meerkats, haha.

Have you ever been to the zoo before? Yeah. Has anyone ever been weirdly obsessed with you? No. Are you afraid someone might steal your identity someday? It's not something I actively worry about at all. Like, you don't want my identity, I promise. Do you have any talents that come naturally? Growing up, adults always told me I was a "gifted" artist and writer. Also that I seem to have an unnaturally strong connection with animals. I've always been that person where a pet's owner is like "omg ____ never lets people do that" and whatnot. Have you ever had plastic surgery before? I haven't. It's funny though, how opposed to it I used to be... Like goddamn, I was such a fucking stupid and honestly judgmental teenager, regarding many things. I look back on her and cringe. Like damn dude, if you have a safe surgical procedure to help you enjoy the body you're stuck with the rest of your life, you go for it, boo. Are you afraid of airplane rides? Not really. What’s the best Valentine’s Day gift you’ve gotten? There was this one year where Jason had to go to work on Valentine's Day and I was super bummed, yet he still surprised me with a heart-shaped box of chocolates, roses, and a game I really wanted, Heavy Rain. I thought it was the sweetest. What is something you lose often? My phone. ;-; Do you enter a lot of sweepstakes? I don't enter any.

Yes. Do you know any sign language? No. Do you have a favorite poem? No. Do you have a dog? No. The one we were pretty much stuck with has a home now. Have you ever read The Little House on the Prairie series? I haven't. Have you ever gone on a service trip to an underprivileged country? No. Have you ever performed in front of more than 100 people? Yes, for dance. When (if ever) was the last time you went to church? Forever ago, I don't even remember the last time. What's a quote you think is really powerful? There's a whole lot. The first one that came to mind was, "An eye for an eye will leave the world blind," which I do believe has great depth in it. Have you ever had to do your laundry at a laundromat? Yes. Are you the oldest person who lives in your household? No. My mom is turning 60 (... I think?) this year. If you have tattoos, how long have you had them? I got my first the day I turned 18. Do you and your dad have similar personalities? We're alike in some ways, imo most notably in that we have NO fucking common sense, embarrassing as that is to admit. We're both kinda slow at understanding things, too. What were the last three things you had to drink? Mountain Lightning, milk, and water. What did your family usually do for Easter when you were a kid? Us three kids all got Easter baskets full of stuff, and we'd go egg-hunting when we were all awake. My little sister Nicole would always wake our parents up in excitement, haha. My parents hid plenty throughout the house, and there was always this one "special" egg that was actually from Mom's childhood and was extremely intricate and beautiful. You basically "won" the hunt if you found it, and it was extremely well-hidden. When you have house guests over, where do they sleep? Historically since living here, my two half-sisters and their spouses (the only people who've stayed over) slept in what is *technically* Mom's room, but for whatever reason this woman still insists on sleeping on the couch in the living room, I guess because she's used to it after all the years she didn't have her own room and bed. Are you emotionally stable? LOLOOLOLOOLLOLOOLOOLOLLOOLOLLLLLLLLLLL Do you still talk to the very first person you had sex with? No. Are you an atheist? No. I don't quite know how to define what I am, but since I believe there's SOME higher power, I don't think it's fitting to call me an atheist. What’s the largest bug you’ve ever found in your house? Hm... I'm unsure. Probably a male mosquito, 'cuz them bitches are big'ins. Would it annoy you if a stranger called you "sweetie?" If it was a man, I'd be creeped out. Are you into fashion design? Not really. What’s the worst thing you’ve gone through in the past year? My leg muscles continuing to degrade, honestly. I have to do something about this shit. How did you get your last bruise? I fell when stepping over the stupid dog gate. Have your parents ever forgotten your birthday? Yikes, no. Would you rather have some bacon or beef jerky? Bacon. Do you like your orange juice with lots or no pulp? NONE. Do you wear skinny jeans? Back when I wore jeans, they were the only kind I wore. What projects are you doing now for school? I'm outta school. What’s the most number of comments you have on a Facebook picture? What is the picture of? I have no idea. Do you like coconut flavored things? No. Have you ever met a famous author before? No. Do you know anybody who has been raped before? No, thank god. I know someone who might've almost been, though. I don't know what the fucking pig was going to do to her if my sister and I weren't there. Have you ever wished for bigger boobs? No. Being overweight, I just want smaller ones now, haha. Have you ever gone a full day without interacting with another person? I've gone many days without it. How many relationships have you been in that lasted less than a year? Four, if you're counting everyone that had the "boyfriend" title. Where were you going the last time you were on a plane? Home from Illinois. Where were you going the last time you were on a train? I've never been on one. Have you ever been significantly more physically fit than you are now? Holy fuck, yes. You would never guess now that I was perfectly healthy in high school especially, yet I still thought I was kinda fat. It hurts so much to look back on. When growing up, did you parents keep the house very tidy? I mean not excessively, but Mom was pretty dedicated to keeping the house in decent condition. With three kids though, of course the house was somewhat messy with toys and all. When you shop at IKEA, do you always stop to eat a snack/meal in the cafeteria? ... There's a fucking cafeteria in a furniture store? o_o I've never been there before. How many watches do you own? None, save for one in my "treasure box" from when I was a kid. I was SO SO SO obsessed with Finding Nemo that I kept my broken one. I did the same with my horribly aged sneakers, like the soles were coming off and Mom finally made me stop wearing them, ha. Are there any ways in which you greatly differ from everyone else in your family? I do fucking nothing and am useless to society. Should teenagers be allowed to have their cell phones with them in class? Yes, because emergencies happen. I personally think it's best to maybe have your cell phone flipped over on the corner of your desk or something and on vibrate, that way the noise isn't too disruptive and the teacher can see you're not just using it for other purposes. Do you have any gay relatives? Yes. Have you ever had to have a pet put down? Sigh, multiple. Have you unfollowed, deleted, or blocked anyone on social media recently? If so, what was the reason? Not recently. How many cups of coffee do you typically drink per day? None. Do you know what your vocal range is? No, but it's not very broad. What’s the biggest financial mistake you’ve ever made? I haven't been in this position before. Have you ever been in a relationship where there was a large difference in maturity levels? No. What’s the longest you’ve ever stayed as a guest at someone’s house? I wanna say over a month while we were technically homeless. How bad was your acne when you were a teenager? Oh dear, it was rough. Like there were people who had it worse than me, but ya girl was lookin preeeetty rough lmao.

Chapter 2: Take a Night...
“Michael Vincent Jones,” the detective said as he tossed a hefty file on the metal table in front of a handcuffed Charlie, “aka, Mogar. Wanted for assault, gunrunning, grand larceny, grand theft auto-,”
“Love that game,” Michael interrupted.
“-murder, manslaughter, possession of a whole ton of illegal firearms and a much, much longer list of things I don’t want to list off because I have better things to do with my time. All of this in the Lone Star State,” the detective said. He leaned close to Michael and growled, “What are you doing in Gotham?”
“Sightseeing,” Michael snarled back at him.
“Right,” the detective agreed sarcastically, “You here with the Fake AH Crew?”
“I’m on vacation,”
“You rob banks while on vacation?” the other detective in the interrogation room asked.
“You have your hobbies…” Michael shrugged.
“You’re gonna have to give us something other than this vacation bullshit.” the first detective said rather threateningly.
“Don’t I get a phone call before you try to beat me?” Michael asked.
The detective grabbed Michael by the collar and lifted him out of the chair, “Listen to me scumbag,” the detective growled, “You’re gonna tell us why you’re really here and where your crew is or we’re gonna give you to-”
“Detective,” a woman’s voice said with authoritative tone. Everyone looked at the entrance to the interrogation room to see a woman with greying black hair wearing a trench coat with a gun and badge strapped to her belt.
“Uhhhh….Commissh?” the detective holding Michael asked, not putting the criminal down. The Commissioner looked at the detectives, then at Michael, then back at the detectives.
“He’s on his way,” she said before leaving.
“Who’s on his way? My lawyer?” Michael asked as the detective put him back in the chair, “Is it my dad?” he called as the detectives let the room and closed the door. Michael sat in silence or a moment before saying “Maybe it’s my mom,”
“Okay, you a get a million dollars but every piece of furniture you interact with is that breakaway stunt furniture from movies,” a British man with a large nose said. He wore a blue dress shirt and pants, sunglasses were holstered to a pocket on his chest. He sat in the passenger seat of a car parked across the street from a garage entrance. Above the garage door it said GCPD Parking.
“Every piece of furniture?” the man in the driver’s seat asked. He wore a white dress shirt with a dark vest, tie and pants.
“Every piece,” the British man explained.
“So, what if I’m really careful getting into bed? Will it collapse after I go to sleep?”
“No, it’ll collapse,”
“Damn...I don’t think I can do it, Gavin,” the man in the driver’s seat said, “I couldn’t go hang out with anyone without breaking their furniture!”
“You’re usually so careful Trevor. You might not break anything,” Gavin explained.
“I’d be way too stressed out that the slightest touch would collapse the table I’m setting a drink down on,” Trevor explained.
“It’d be like the most stressful game of Jenga,” Gavin joked.
“Exactly!” Trevor laughed.
The laughter abruptly stopped when they felt the car start vibrating.
“Why is the car-?” Trevor asked before they heard something roar. 
In the street in front of them, they saw a large vehicle swing in front of them and screech to a halt, facing the parking garage across the street. From what they could see of the vehicle, the rear had larger tires than the car Trever and Gavin sat in, and had a shell-like cover between the sets of the wheels. Below the cover was a large burner exhaust they could see heat emanating out of it.
“Hole….ly...shit,” Trevor gasped.
“That’s the Batmobile?” Gavin asked, leaning over the dashboard, “It looks like a tank had a baby with a Porsche or a Lambo,”
“Why do you think he’s just parked there?” Trevor asked after a moment of the Batmobile not moving, Gavin just shrugged.
Shortly after, the Batmobile began moving forward, rolling down the ramp toward the parking garage. As the car approached the large metal garage door it began to open, rattling as it the rows of links ascended and rolled back into the ceiling.
“Go, go, go, go!” Trevor whispered as he grabbed a satchel from the back seat and got out of the car with Gavin. The two moved to the edge of the ramp as the Batmobile entered the garage, as the Batmobile passed the garage door it bagan to close. They proceeded down the ramp as the Batmobile turned right and ventured down another ramp. The gate was about half way closed before they got close.
“Gavin!” Trevor hissed.
“On it,” he said as he outstretched his arm. His hand began to glow with a pale green aura and the garage door suddenly slowed to an almost standstill and gained the same pale green aura as Gavin. Trevor ducked under the door, followed by Gavin, keeping his hand trained on the door as he ducked under. Once inside, Gavin’s hand stopped glowing as he put it down and the door resumed closing at it’s normal speed.
The two followed the ramp down to their right, descending down deeper into the GCPD Parking Lot. They stuck to the walls of the garage and duck behind the police cruisers parked inside, even though they didn’t see anyone else. They travelled down three floors before reaching the bottom of the garage. It was a roundabout looking base, it was completely circular with a small set of stairs leading up to a set of doors with a sign that had an elevator symbol above them. The Batmobile was parked parallel to the doors, it’s left side facing Trevor and Gavin as they hid behind a police cruiser and looked around.
“See anyone?” Gavin asked.
“No, let’s go,” Trevor said.
They cautiously approached the Batmobile, Trevor pulled a collapsed drone out the stachel. The two looked over the car with confused expressions.
“Where do I even put this?” Trevor asked.
Gavin kneeled on the ground and looked under the car, “Here?” he suggested, pointing under the car’s armor and chassis. Trevor kneeled down and reached under the car. He made faces as he moved his arm around until he felt the drone magnetically stick to something.
“Now, let’s hope that doesn’t fall off,” Trevor said before he noticed Gavin giggling, “What?”
“What was with the faces?” he asked, still laughing.
“Listen, a man’s face does weird things when he’s focused on sticking something in someone’s undercarriage,” Trevor explained.
“Whatever, let’s leg it,” Gavin laughed, standing.
Batman was brooding as the elevator played cheerful music. Cassandra didn’t know why they needed to play the music in an elevator that only police took, but she didn’t really care. The elevator dinged and the doors opened and Batman was greeted by the sight of Commissioner Wayne.
“You changed the garage codes,” Batman noted, the voice distorter still active.
“We had a Joker attack this week, what did you think I was going do?” the Commissioner retorted. She turned and led Batman to the interrogation rooms, taking him inside one of the adjacent rooms. Inside was a one-way mirror window that let them observe the interrogation room next door. The bank robber Batman caught hours earlier sat handcuffed. He looked bored out of his mind.
“Name’s Michael Jones. Jersey native, moved to Tyler, Texas when he decided to become a career criminal,” the Commissioner explained, “Runs with a crew called the Fake Achievement Hunter Crew, mostly they commit robberies and other kinds of theft,”
“Where’s his crew?” Batman asked, watching Michael pick his nose.
“We don’t know, he won’t talk,” she said.
“He will to me,” Batman stated.
“Cass,” the Commissioner said, “these guys are crazy,”
“We’ve dealt with crazy,”
“No, I’m not talking about Joker and his cult, or Pyg or even Ivy. These guys don’t steal stuff to make a profit or plan to take over the world,” the Commissioner explained, “They do it for the bragging right,”
“Bragging rights? Really?”
“Yeah. They once stole a fighter jet from a military base just because someone online challenged them to do it,” she explained.
“I’ll stop them Helena.” Batman said matter of factly. Helena Wayne stared at Batman for a moment, “What?” he asked when he noticed.
“It’s kinda scary how similar you are to Dad sometimes,” Helena explained.
“I try to live up to his example,” Cassandra explained, not turning off her voice distorter.
“I know,” Helena said, “I’ll kill the lights so you can do your thing,”
Commissioner Wayne turned and flicked a switch on a nearby console and the lights in the interrogation room turned off.
“Hey! Who turned off the lights?” Michael called out. Helena heard a thump, “Fuck!” Michael shouted and she turned the lights back on. Inside the interrogation room, Batman had dented the table with Michael’s head and held it there.
“I miss doing that,” Helena said.
“Where’s your crew?” Batman demanded.
“Up your ass,” Michael retorted.
Batman slammed Michael’s head into the table again, “Tell me,”
“I did. You’re gonna need a proctologist,” Michael chuckled.
Helena began to hear a commotion outside in the bullpen, “What the hell is going on now?” she sighed. She left the room and saw her officers and detectives arguing with a man.
The man was about five and a half feet tall and wore a faded blue dress shirt with a police badge on a metal chain around his neck. He had dark brown hair and a full beard.
“And who are you?” Commissioner Wayne asked.
“I’m Detective Tapp,” the shorter one stated in what sounded like a Boston accent.
This is going to be a long night, Helena thought to herself.
“Okay, detective,” Helena sighed, using the term ‘detective’ loosely, “What are you doing here?”
“Got word you arrested one of the Fake AH boys,” Detective Tapp explained, “I’ve been followin’ them from Texas. They’ve been robbin’ all the way up here,”
“Well, they robbed a branch of Gotham Trust. Made off with ten thousand dollars,” the commissioner explained, motioning for the detective to follow her. She pulled out her phone and texted someone before stopping away from her officers, “Why are you following them?”
“They’re my beat. Been tryin’ to get something to pin’em for years,” Tapp explained.
“They don’t seem that good at hiding who they are or who did the crime,”
“True. But someone keeps posting their bail,”
“Who?” the commissioner asked. There was a moment of awkward silence as the detective was suddenly interested in his shoes.
“We...don’t know,” Detective Tapp admitted.
“Well, we’ll know in a few minutes,” Commissioner Wayne said, “Batman will get Jones to spill their beans shortly,”
“Jones? Michael or Lindsay?” Tapp asked.
“Michael Jones? Why does it matter?”
“Batman can’t crack Jones,” Tapp said, “Man’s like ten bears in a human body. He’s tough,”
“We’ve had a lot of people like that here, Tapp,” the commissioner said.
“You read his file?” Tapp asked.
“Yeah, man’s cuckoo for Coco-Puffs. I believe in Batman getting info out of him,” 
“Is he beatin’ Jones?” Tapp asked. There was an awkward silence between the two of them, “I’ll take that as a yes,”
“Listen, Jones is the Fake AH Crew’s go-to fixer. Beating him isn’t gonna work,” Detective Roger Davis explained.
“Let me guess, you have a plan?”
“Eat shit you pointy-ea-,” Michael said before being punched. He was face up on the heavily dented metal table, he was bleeding a little bit out of his nose.
“Tell where your crew is before I start breaking bones,” Batman growled.
Someone about Michael was off to Batman. On the road, his body language told him he wanted to escape. He did everything he could to prevent himself from being captured. His body told Cass everything; he’s a fighter, he’s confrontational and really enjoys alcohol, but now he wants to be here. Why?
“Alright!” a male voice behind Batman called. He turned and saw a men with the Commissioner. He presented himself as a detective like the commissioner, but he was something else too, Cass could tell. 
“Oh goddammit. Not this guy,” Michael groaned in annoyance after seeing who was in the doorway.
“Batman. A word?” the commissioner said. Batman let Michael go and followed the commissioner out of the interrogation room, leaving the man alone with Michael.
“What’s going on? Batman asked.
“He’s a detective from Tyler, Texas. Been going after the Fake AH Crew for years,” the commissioner explained.
“He’s not very good at it,” Batman said.
“No, but I had Tim verify his identity and it check out,” Commissioner Wayne explained, “He’s going to offer Michael a deal,”
“A deal?”
“Yeah. In exchange for where his crew is-,” the commissioner ware interrupted by intense shouting and crashing sounds from the interrogation room. Helena drew her gun as she and Batman approached the door to the room. They got within a few feet of it before it was kicked off its hinges by Michael.
“Freeze!” the commissioner ordered, aiming her weapon at Michael.
Michael ignored her as Batman charged at him, throwing batarangs ahead of him. Michael dodged the batarangs, Batman punched him in the face as he dodged. Michael didn’t budge.
Michael smiled as he jabbed something into Batman’s abdomen. Cass felt prongs pierce her suit and then an intense, hot prickling sensation spike across her body from the prongs. Michael dug the taser in deeper before punching her across the room.
Batman crashed into several desks, he felt his head go through a computer monitor as he slid across the desk tops. He slammed into the wall on the other side of the room. Everything hurt.
As Batman staggered up from the floor, there was a loud CRASH and the sound of a wall breaking. He looked up to see a large hole where a window used to be. Running over to the hole, he looked out onto the street, Michael was no where to be seen.
“What the hell happened in there?!” Commissioner Wayne demanded as Detectives Tapp limped out of the interrogation room.
“Why’re you yellin’ at me for? You didn’t properly restrain him!” Tapp groaned.
“He was cuffed! He had no weapons or tools!”
“He’s part Amazon! You think some steel handcuffs are gonna stop him?” Tapp yelled.
“And you didn’t think to share that information?!”
“It’s in his file!” Tapp exclaimed.
“That does not matter!” Batman interjected, sounding almost like a demon with his voice distorter, “He got out. We need to search for him and his crew,” he said, he turned toward the commissioner, “I will head back to the Cave and see what I can dig up. You,” he turned toward Detective Tapp, “tell her everything you know about the Fake AH Crew,” he said before heading toward the elevator.
Michael ran down a nearby alley and stopped.
“Where the fuck did they park?” he asked no one. Michael ran down the street around the GCPD building, keep his head down and hiding in the shadows. He eventually made it to an alley that faced the garage door of the precinct. He looked down the alley and found a car running in the alley.
“Hey-o!” Michael said, getting in the backseat of the car.
“Michael boi!” Gavin said.
“How’d it go on your end?” Trevor asked.
“Great. Got my ass beat by Batman,” Michael said as Gavin drove the car out of the alley and away from the GCPD building, “What about you guys?”
“We got the drone on his car, I was surprised he doesn’t have a sensor or something to detect that kind of thing?” Trevor said.
“Dude’s pretty confident,” Michael said, “Can we stop at like a Big Belly Burger before heading back to the warehouse?”

CharlieBone!AU
Alright. As a child, one of my absolutely favourite book series was Charlie Bone. My sister and I would pretend that we had special gifts while playing all the time, I read all of the books thrice (which I know isn’t a lot, but I’m not usually somebody who re-reads books at all, so that’s a Big Thing for me), one time in the span of about five or six days. (Could think neither straight nor in German after that.) 
So, ATLA!CharlieBone!AU. Yes.
The Bloor Academy is probably run by Ozai. (It’s also not called “Bloor Academy”, but that doesn’t really matter right now.) Azulon is still alive and kicking, willing to murder children at the drop of a hat, just like Ezekiel. Iroh fucked off with Lu Ten after his wife’s death. Nobody’s entirely sure what the hell happened to Ursa, but she’s still (kind of) around, just not talked about. 
Zuko and Azula grew up inside the school, but with very little contact to the outside world; probably homeschooled, too, until they’re old enough for the Academy.
They are both gifted, but just “control of fire” would be boring, so Azula has a gift similar to Uncle Paton’s, but with a better grip on it than him – she can control electricity. Zuko can technically control heat, but he’s not particularly good at it; he’s basically a walking mood ring. Rooms get cold when he’s sad or lonely, hot when he’s embarrassed, and that’s probably why he doesn’t have too many (any) friends. Constant swings in temperature aren’t pleasant. Nobody wants to sleep next to him in the dorm (if he sleeps in the dorm at all, as his family lives in the school). 
If we’re keeping with the three houses, then both of them are definitely in the Theatre house. 
Aang’s special gift is basically the Avatar State; he can call onto either his ancestors (a bit like Lysander) or his past lives (as in canon). He’s not a bender, so if and when he calls onto somebody, he has their powers at his disposal instead of the elements. (Unless one of them can control the elements. Kuruk could control sealife? Cool, Aang can do that now. Something like that.) His control over that power is shaky at best. Once he’s mastered it, he can manage all of his forebearer’s powers (super OP, basically), until then, it’s more like channeling one person at a time. (Or he’s just a medium. Or he can transform into birds/birdlike creatures like Emma.)
He’s raised by his grandfather Gyatso after the tragic death of his parents (at the hands of Zuko’s family, but shh, they don’t know that yet), and Appa is just the most ginormous dog you can find. Momo is a cat who likes to sleep on people’s faces. Aang, Zuko and Azula are (not so) distantly related via Gyatso and Roku, who are brothers instead of friends in this AU. Gyatso’s quite a bit younger than Roku, though. (And Roku’s already dead.) 
Aang would probably have a hard time deciding between Art, Theatre and Music, because everything sounds great, but settle on art in the end, because his dad was an artist. 
Neither Katara nor Sokka have a gift. At least that’s they think for the longest time. Katara is the student assigned to show Aang around when he transfers after his gift manifests (Gyatso didn’t initially want to send him to the Academy), and she bullies Sokka into looking after him in the “boys only” areas (the dorms), so they’re his first friends there. 
They live with their Gran-Gran and their dad. Their mother was probably murdered by Zuko’s family or some allies of them, too, for Reasons. Maybe she saw something. Maybe she knew what they did to Aang’s parents. Doesn’t matter, I won’t write this, they killed her. 
Katara’s gift manifests late, under a stressful situation; she can either heal or control blood (i.e. bloodbending). If it’s bloodbending, Hama (old friend of Gran-Gran’s, now either an ally of Azulon and Ozai or just wreaking havoc on her own) would probably try to get her hands on her, because she has the same gift, and it’s very rare. (Katara is much more powerful than Hama, though.) 
Sokka gets a sword at some point in the story, and it’s some old-ass sword, prophesized to be wielded by a great warrior. 
He picks Art, Katara picks Music.
Toph’s parents are a little less strict in this AU (they send her to school, after all), but still pretty overbearing. She mostly keeps to herself in the beginning; her and Zuko become friends before she befriends any of the other guys. 
She’s still blind. (Stating this because she sometimes isn’t, in these (semi-)Modern AUs.)
Her gift is either her Seismic Sense or she can bring to life (so to speak) statues (like Erik). Leaning more towards the Seismic Sense, though. Otherwise, she has no control over earth or stone or anything, and the Seismic Sense works basically everywhere (wood vibrates, too), but she does still have to be barefoot. She isn’t even fully aware that she has a special gift until she talks to Zuko about how she gets around so well and he’s like: Dude, that’s not normal. 
She’s in the Music house. (I don’t think they’re even called houses. Branch might fit better. But anyway.) 
Suki does Theatre with Zuko and technically, she is his first friend, but they aren’t as close anymore when Aang starts school, since she befriended Katara and Sokka, who aren’t Zuko’s biggest fans initially. 
She doesn’t have a gift, but she still kicks ass. Maybe she even still does tessenjutsu. Either way, you don’t wanna cross her. (that’s what fighting with fans is called, right? correct me if i’m wrong.)
I don’t know if Mai and Ty Lee would’ve gifts, but if they did, it would be hitting every target with every thrown object and seeing auras. (Could be just hard training and synethesia, though, which number one definitely is in canon; number two is a HC of mine.) Ty Lee does Theatre, too. Mai joins Sokka and Aang.
