Hello I've seen that you have been getting a lot of requests

But could I request : twst housewardens with nico di angelo/reader, that reader tells them that they're son/daughter of hades and their power? And maybe the battle of labyrinth(feel free to ignore ☺)

Gender-neutral reader (male reader-coded, but anyone can read as there are no gender-specific terms used). English Server player here, btw.

Riddle Rosehearts

You were the only one possibly in the entirety of Twisted Wonderland who could revive the dead… even if they were to do your bidding. Yeah, he was definitely freaked out when you cracked the ground open and made a bunch of cadavers and skeletons attack him while he was overblotting.

Riddle can tell that you have been through a lot of pain. He did not know the extent of that pain until he saw you at the fountain, throwing in a drachma and conversing with your sister’s ghost. You only had one tear slip down your face when you noticed that the tyrannical housewarden was watching. You quickly recovered before using the shadows to travel back to Ramshackle.

It wasn’t until later where he learned about your backstory, and holy shit have you gone through a lot. Chronologically, you were 82, but you had the physical appearance of a 15 year old. You were physically younger than he was. You told him that it was because you spent 70 years in a casino, but this just managed to confuse him more.

Anyways, you first came off to him as rude and distant, which he could understand because you ended up in Twisted Wonderland. You first thought you were hallucinating or put under a hallucination by a god or goddess you weren’t aware of. That being said, you didn’t get close to anyone because you were scared that you could be brought out of the hallucination at any point. However, you started getting closer to a certain red-headed housewarden as he extended a cup of tea “olive branch”.

Leona Kingscholar

When you stepped on his tail in the botanical gardens that day, he was annoyed as we all know. However, since you were in your Battle of the Labyrinth era, you were not about to take the shit he threw at you. Maybe if you were younger, but not now. You were pissed off at Percy and you were on a mission to get out of Twisted Wonderland as soon as possible.

He doesn’t really care that you are a more private person. However, when he sees you display some of your abilities, he does get a bit curious. Like, for example, you opened up the ground and had skeletons attack him while he was overblotting. He easily turned them into sand, but it was still surprising. He had never met anyone who could do that before, as magic in Twisted Wonderland could not do that.

But, there was one time where he was coming back from a Housewarden meeting, and he saw you putting a strange coin into the fountain while you were speaking to an apparition. He hid behind a pillar and saw that there was a figure on the ledge of the fountain. You turned around and Leona saw a tear slide down your face before you melted into the shadow that the fountain cast.

Leona eventually learned of your backstory by Ruggie running around and seeing what he could find about you. You were actually 82 years old, which definitely added to the small pile of “Things that Actually Surprised the Housewarden of Savanaclaw”. You had never actually celebrated your birthday by a birthday party. The apparition he saw in the fountain was your deceased sister. He feels like shit for the way he has treated you thus far.

Azul Ashengrotto

As we know, he was present during Leona’s overblot. So he sees that you can summon a dead army. And he definitely wants to get that under a contract that will put him at an advantage over the dead. However, you have already been in this situation. You were not about to be under someone else’s control again.

That being said, your fatal flaw made its appearance and you held a grudge against Azul. You would go out of your way to not come within six feet of this man. You started making your own meals and you would travel via the shadows. The cecaelia noticed, and he started to feel kind of bad… and so he asked the tweels to find information on you in exchange for less hours for an entire week.

They came up with a lot of things, actually. You were the descendent of Hades, the brother of the father of the King of the Sea. That is how you got your powers. It wasn’t magic at all. You had a full biological sister who joined the Hunters of Artemis group, but died. You were fighting gods and titans left and right… and you were still physically only 15 years old.

Unfortunately for you, your powers did not come in handy when you fought against his overblot. However, your sword did, as well as the potion that allowed you to breathe underwater. You’ve had plenty of experience with fighting in water, so you were well-versed and thus defeated him rather easily. You called him an amateur, stating that one of your fellow demigods at Camp Half-Blood would have posed a better challenge, which made his ego take critical damage.

Kalim Al-Asim

You cannot tell me that this man is not the Will Solace to your Nico di Angelo. However, unlike Will, Kalim does not have the power to heal anybody via singing a song. He is no archer. He has no super powerful whistle. He can’t put anyone under a ‘couplets curse’. He can’t emit a divine glow. He can’t shoot rays of light. He can’t change the seasons. He can’t control diseases. But he is still yours.

Because of the way he is, you physically can’t hold a grudge against him. But you are suspicious of the Vice Housewarden. You stick to the shadows and listen in on private conversations. Not like Kalim would ever believe you, but you have done what you could to prevent an uprising against him.

During Jamil’s overblot, you were actually able to defeat him rather easily, surprising Kalim. Sure, you were sent into the desert, but you were able to travel in the shadows that the dunes of sand cast. You were actually able to take everyone and travel faster. However, that left you drained, but you knew you had to keep fighting. Using the last of your strength, you summoned a skeletal army, and then your vision started to get dark.

Kalim ended up waking you up in the infirmary. He was crying and pleading with you to forgive him for not believing you all along. You were kind of confronted and put on the spot, wanting him not to make a noise and cause a scene. You patted his head kind of awkwardly, and he was so happy to see that you have forgiven him and that everything was going to be okay since you were awake now.

Vil Schoenheit

You looked like a corpse, and Vil was not afraid to point it out. You bit back and stated that because you were a child of Hades, God of the Underworld, it was understandable that you looked less than alive. That started a beautiful hateship between the two of you, as he’s trying to fix your eyebags and you’re trying to fix his attitude. You didn’t even know much about Neige, but you said something along the lines of, “it’s no wonder that everyone likes him over you.”

Anyways, Vil has sent Rook to go dig up some dirt that he could use against you. The hunter found out many heartbreaking things that made the Housewarden feel horrible about the things he has said about you. You were doing all of this just for Bianca, your deceased sister, because she told you that you needed to move on as she moved on to Elysium.

When he overblots, you already have enough experience. Your sword has the ability to absorb darkness, and guess what the ink is? Anyways, you used your sword to absorb some of the ink, which weakened the overblotting mess. It was a relatively easy takedown, and you just left silently after. Again, your fatal flaw poked through, and you only helped because of Epel and Rook and how you were friends with them.

In the infirmary, Vil woke up right when you dropped off a single get-well gift. It was a small vase with just one stem of lavender as well as an olive branch. Just one, as you wanted to be stingy, but you wanted to be better than your fatal flaw. You wanted to show that you weren’t unsympathetic, so you extended this purple olive branch and the actual olive branch. Vil knew the language of plants all too well, and he got the message.

Idia Shroud

You both are shut-ins, you both are nerds… It's a match made in the Underworld. Nah, but all jokes aside, you both hated each other at first. You would debate each other on every single fact from any given Fandom. But you were good friends with Ortho, even if you did dislike the fact that he was so naive. He reminded you of yourself in the beginning of your demigod journey, and you did not like remembering all of that.

Anyways, Idia is going total cyber-stalker. He is trying to find something he can fight against you with, kind of like a Redditor. What he did manage to find was depressing and sad, and also made him feel like shit. Hearing about Bianca made him clutch onto Ortho more and appreciate having him, as not everyone could have such a good replacement as his robotic younger brother was for his dead older brother.

When he overblotted, you were just tired at this point. However, Idia proved to be much more of a challenge than you had originally thought. By this point, the Housewarden of Ignihyde had analyzed your powers as a child of Hades as well as thought about any other hidden powers you may or may not have, and prepared accordingly. You couldn’t shadow-travel at all and you couldn’t use the ground for whatever reason (Idia had used magic to keep you from doing so).

It was depending on your assholes of friends that allowed you to win, because the one thing that the flame-haired 18-year-old didn’t expect was for you to suck it up and forget your grudges against Ace just to beat his ass. So, he was left vulnerable as you acted as a weird diversion, using his love for a certain anime against him as you shouted a complete hot-take that he definitely did not agree with.

Malleus Draconia

Hey, look everybody! It’s the social rejects! I’m just playing… kind of. You both tend to emit an aura that can be portrayed as frightening to others. The only difference was that your aura was intentional, and it even managed to give Sebek a spook sometimes. However, it did not deter Malleus from reaching out to you and extending an olive branch. That was the start of a beautiful relationship between the two of you.

I have a headcanon that this dragon prince is kind of like a goth version of Will Solace. You can confide in him during your nightly walks, and he is not going to judge you for it. You have actually told him about your older sister and her untimely death, and while he did try to tell you that it wasn’t Percy’s fault and you weren’t hearing it, you secretly knew that it was true and it was just your fatal flaw that kept you from forgiving Jackson.

Speaking of confiding within him, you’ve also told him that you were scared that he was going to overblot. He was so attached to his retainers as well as you and Lilia that it would be wrong to qualify this fear as anything but rational. Malleus understood, as you’ve already had to fight six overblots in the relatively short amount of time you’ve been in Twisted Wonderland, and you’ve had to solve the familial issues of an arsonist (Rollo Flamm).

Your fluency in Greek fascinated Malleus, as Greek was not a common language that was spoken. He had no idea what or where ‘Greece’ was, but he was also interested in learning about Hades as well as your [distant] cousins, who were the other demigods at Camp Half-Blood. Then, there was an entire other demigod camp called Camp Jupiter, and you were kind of a ghost story between the two. You, in turn, listened to his silly little rants about gargoyles, as you believed that there needed to be a healthy exchange in interests within the relationship.

Ghost King Danny Ao3 Statistics

Just like the title states, this post intends to cover everything there is to know about Ghost King Danny fics for the DPxDC crossover on Ao3! Understandably, this is a very long post and there are a lot of numbers involved, so you may want to be prepared!

Did You Know?

There are a total of 1,334 Ghost King Danny Fenton fics found on Ao3. Of that figure, DPxDC makes up 697 fics- a whopping 52.25% of all fics under the "Ghost King Danny Fenton" tag. Danny Phantom, one of the parent fandoms for this crossover, have a total of 439 fics, which amounts to 32.91% of this tag.

But that's just the broader overview of the Ghost King trope for the crossover. Looking deeper reveals more interesting details about this concept and the authors' preferences.

Before we begin, it would be remiss of me not to include a disclaimer about this information. You are otherwise free to ignore this list, but for those of you who are interested on where or how I gathered this data, I thought it would be appropriate to be as open as possible.

Disclaimer

These numbers were gathered through manual labor on the site, Archive of Our Own.

These numbers were compiled in one day- September 12th, 2023, and as such, may not reflect the statistics on Ao3 in, for example, one month from now.

IMPORTANT TO NOTE: These figures only include fics that have been explicitly tagged as Ghost King Danny. While some stories not included in these statistics may have hints towards his royal status, a good rule of thumb is to never assume the trope will be included in a fic until given reason to. The best way to do that is when the author properly tags "Ghost King Danny Fenton" on their work.

These numbers do not include any other crossovers, nor three-way crossovers. Ex: A Danny Phantom, DC, Miraculous Ladybug crossover. This is not to put down these other crossovers in any way, shape or form, but to show a clear, concise overview of the DPxDC community on Ao3.

Fun Fact!: As I gathered the data, I had to manually remove an incredible 57 fandoms and media from the Ghost King Danny tag in order to compile this list. [*] There are countless of other crossovers still going strong to this day, and while this post may not be about them, they deserve a round of applause as well!

No Languages were excluded from these figures.

This list included fics that are not open to guest readers (fics that must be read while you are signed in with your account).

For some of these statistics, please keep in mind that there can be an overlap. For example: Under the Fandom and Character Filters.

As a general reminder, while I took great pains to clean this information as thoroughly as possible, human error is still possible.

[*]: Curious about what that looks like? Here's a screenshot:

These are just 7 of the 57 fandoms I had to remove. I would offer you more, but then we would be scrolling even longer.

However, let's move onto the statistics portion.

Please keep in mind: During this process, I used the 697 figure stated at the beginning of this post to calculate the percentages of each category.

Ratings

The number and percentages of each rating- from greatest to least- are as follows:

Teen - 320; 45.91%

Gen - 159; 22.81

Not Rated - 129; 18.51%

Mature - 75; 10.76%

Explicit - 14; 2.01%

Warnings

The number and percentages of each rating- from greatest to least- are as follows:

No Archive Warnings Apply - 276; 39.6%

Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings - 270; 38.74%

Graphic Depictions of Violence - 149; 21.38%

Major Character Death (MCD) - 82; 11.76%

Rape/Non-Con - 5; 0.72% [^]

Underage - 2; 0.29% [^]

[^]: Your eyes are not deceiving you, these fics do not make up even a full percent.

Categories

The number and percentages of each rating- from greatest to least- are as follows:

Gen - 284; 40.75%

M/M - 158; 22.67%

F/M - 63; 9.04%

Multi - 44; 6.31% [#]

Other - 29; 4.16%

F/F - 18; 2.58%

[#]: What does the category "Multi" mean? "Multi" in Ao3 means that there are more than relationship dynamic found in the story. For example, a work features both a M/M and a F/F ship.

Confused about why the numbers don't add up to 100%? Not all authors choose to mark the category of their work since it is not a required selection in Ao3.

Fandoms

The number and percentages of each rating- from greatest to least- are as follows:

Batman - All Media Types - 533; 76.47%

DCU - 173; 24.82%

Justice League - All Media Types - 164; 23.53%

DCU (Comics) - 52; 7.46%

Young Justice (Cartoon) - 24; 3.44%

Shazam! | Captain Marvel (Comics) - 17; 2.44%

Superman - All Media Types - 16; 2.3%

Young Justice - All Media Types - 16; 2.3%

DC Extended Universe - 14; 2.01%

Confused about why these numbers add up to more than 100%? As stated in #8 of Disclaimers, many stories may include two or more of these fandoms.

Characters

The number and percentages of each rating- from greatest to least- are as follows:

Danny Fenton - 664; 95.27%

Bruce Wayne - 433; 62.12%

Jason Todd - 396; 56.81%

Dick Grayson - 297; 42.61%

Damian Wayne - 287; 41.18%

Jazz Fenton - 215; 30.85%

John Constantine - 176; 25.25%

Tucker Foley - 169; 24.25%

Sam Manson - 167; 23.96%

Relationships

The number and percentages of each rating- from greatest to least- are as follows:

Danny Fenton & Jason Todd - 142; 20.37%

Danny Fenton & Bruce Wayne - 102; 14.63%

Danny Fenton & Damian Wayne - 95; 13.63%

Batfamily Members & Danny Fenton - 92; 13.2%

Danny Fenton/Jason Todd - 67; 9.61%

Tim Drake & Danny Fenton - 64; 9.18%

Danny Fenton & Tucker Foley & Sam Manson - 58; 8.32%

Danny Fenton & Dick Grayson - 57; 8.18%

Tim Drake/Danny Fenton - 43; 6.17%

Additional Tags

The number and percentages of each rating- from greatest to least- are as follows:

Not Beta Read - 176; 25.25%

Not Phantom Planet Compliant (Danny Phantom) - 145; 20.8%

Danny Fenton Needs a Hug - 104; 14.92%

Bad Parents Jack and Maddie Fenton - 91; 13.06% [!]

Hurt/Comfort - 87; 12.48%

Eldritch Danny Fenton - 87; 12.48%

Other Additional Tags To Be Added - 85; 12.2%

BAMF Danny Fenton - 76; 10.9%

Danny Fenton is a Little Shit - 66; 9.47%

[!]: At this time there appears to be no consensus on what tag to use to describe the Fenton parents. Although "Bad Parents Jack and Maddie Fenton" appears to be the most common, some other tags include:

Jack and Maddie's A+ Parenting

Fenton Parents' A+ Parenting

Jack and Maddy's D- Parenting (This was how the author spelled the tag)

The Fentons' A+ Parenting

The Fenton Parents Are Bad but not evil

Danny Fenton's Parents Bashing

Key Takeaways

To wrap up this entire post, let's look at some at some important or intriguing details we've gleaned from these statistics.

Most stories with this tag are Rated Teen.

Similarly, most stories do not have applicable Archive Warnings.

Gen fics, or stories without romance, make up the most Ghost King Danny fics for the crossover.

Batman - All Media Types sweeps up the competition and can be found in most crossovers.

This may be surprising to some, but Bruce Wayne appears in more crossovers under the Ghost King banner than any of his children.

More people have written about Danny Fenton & Jason Todd in a platonic relationship than a romantic one.

There have been arguments that depictions of Jack and Maddie as bad parents are everywhere in the crossover. Numbers show, however, that for the Ghost King Danny Fenton tag it is very unlikely. Even if there were a hundred more fics that use one of the alternate tags, that would still only be 27.4%. That's little over 1/4 of all Ghost King DPxDC fics. Now, 1/4 might sound like a lot, but when you consider that there are 3/4 of other stories that do not include this concept, or the Fenton parents' skills are irrelevant to the story told, that's not actually as many as it would seem.

---

For more information about these statistics, or the work that went into gathering this info, feel free to ask!

But I hope you all learned something new with this foray of mine. I know I learned a lot about the DPxDC community too. Thank you for reading.

EDDIE MUNSON X SINCLAIR!READER

just me rambling on again about how Eddie loves a black woman from infinity to infinityyyy

there's a 'face claim' under the cut because i said so. you've been warned

okay, listen here.

Ever since your family moved to Hawkins, life has been... different

You just turned 13 when your family uprooted to the small town in Indiana. Lucas was 10, and Erica was only 6.

It was a bit easier for your younger siblings to adjust, but you had to start fresh during your last year of middle school, going into high school. That sucked like a bitch.

Transitioning from a larger city with a decent mix of races to a predominantly white town was about as smooth as it sounded, not at all.

Though racism was not terrible, there were plenty of backhanded compliments, passive aggressiveness, and snarky comments.

You were always so "well-spoken", "well-mannered", "presentable".

You didn't "sound black".

You didn't "act black".

You were "pretty for a black girl."

Whatever the fuck that means.

You knew that begging your parents to move elsewhere was not an option, waste of time, so you always knew that the moment you had the chance, you weren't gonna stick around for too long.

Going into high school at the end of '82, just shy of a year after moving into Hawkins, was how yours and Eddie's paths crossed, just barely.

Since you could practically count on one hand how many black families were in Hawkins's population, not knowing one another by name was near impossible.

You know Jeff by proxy.

Your parents knew each other, and you were the same age, so of course you knew each other.

You wouldn't call him a friend per se, but you were friendly enough to exchange quick greetings in passing.

Jeff was with three older kids when you passed him in the hall.

A chubby, curly haired, white boy, a pale brunette girl, and a slim, lanky kid who looked like he was trying to grow out a bad haircut, all of which were decked out in jean and leather.

The polite smile and wave he gave made the lanky boy to turn and see who Jeff was waving at.

As soon as you caught each other's eyes, his curious expression turned into a lovestruck one.

You didn't pay much attention to it, though.

"Who is that?"

"Oh, no one. She's just the daughter of some friends of my parents."

Since you were in separate grades, you didn't regularly cross paths with any of the people you saw with Jeff often, but you did end up having an elective class with the brunette girl.

It was a couple of weeks in when you were partnered up with her for a project.

"Veronica is my government name. Call me Ronnie."

During lunch, Ronnie mentioned to Jeff how adorable you were.

"You got to meet her?!"

Ronnie would then go on about how you were so nice and polite, but you were also extremely smart and sassy.

She got to witness your wit first hand when you made a sneaky comeback at someone who gave one of those stupid 'for a black girl' comments.

"I think Eddie is going to blow a fuse."

"You got to meet HER?!"

The boy was starstruck every time you would unknowingly pass him in the hall or when he saw you from across the cafeteria.

"Would you just go up and talk to her, numbnuts?" Ronnie would say as she smacked the back of his head when she caught him staring a bit too hard.

"I can't just 'go up' to her!"

"The fuck not?"

He'd reply with silence, not really knowing what answer to give.

You were too good for him? He'd have no chance? You'd dismiss him? Reject him? What would he even say?

"I wouldn't know what to say..."

"Maybe try, 'Hello'."

He spent the next four years pining over you from a distance.

Now, in your senior year, you were more excited than anything to get out of this shit hole.

The cute super super senior with the loud mouth, long hair, and less than stellar reputation had always caught your eye, but you both still had yet to actually say anything to each other. Paths never crossing further than beyond the hallway.

You never bothered to make a move on him.

You were convinced that you weren't his type, or anyone's type for that matter, especially not here.

But you're both seniors now.

Much to Eddie's surprise and delight, you now had classes together.

He never once liked being in high school for longer than necessary, but here he was, oddly thankful for being held back.

Your schedules are almost completely aligned, save for the fact that you had a couple honors classes.

For the first few days of your senior year, Eddie was a ball of anxiety every time you were around.

He sat either behind or beside you in the back of all your shared classes.

It wasn't until one fateful Tuesday, in the second week of that school year, that your pen ran out of ink, and you finally said your first words to him.

"Hey, do you have a pen I can barrow?"

You were turned around in your seat to look at him behind you. He was stuck for a few beats before he blinked away his shock.

"Uh, y-yeah. Here." He handed you the very pen he was using to doodle in his notebook instead of actually taking notes.

The small smile and the gentle brush of your fingers against his nearly made his heart stop on the spot.

He was absolutely gone.

It was in that moment that he realized he'd never properly heard your voice before.

He wanted to hear it again.

You even remembered/bothered to give him his pen back at the end of that class.

He spent every single one of his classes for the remainder of that day coming up with a full ass tactical plan to approach you.

Every day that passed, he for some fucking reason just couldn't find the right moment to put his plan in action.

It wasn't until a few weeks later when you threw his plan through a loop.

You showed up to a Hellfire meet just as they were all leaving out the drama room.

He heard your voice coming from outside once some of the freshman members walked out the door.

"Hey, Baby Bro! How'd it go? Have fun?"

Eddie eyes widened, and he stilled for a second before he dropped what he was doing to rush out the door.

He tried to play off his stumbling by leaning against the wall right outside the door.

"Oh, Hey! You're in this club too?"

"This is Eddie. He leads the club." Your little brother's curly haired friend, Dustin, clarified immediately.

Before Eddie could give Dustin a look to 'shut the fuck up before he ruined his shot', you raised your brows with somewhat of an impressed look on your face.

"Oh, so you're Eddie."

The way his name rolls off your tongue makes him want to melt into the floor.

All the false confidence he once had completely depleted, and he was back at a loss for words. Thank God you didn't leave room for him to make a fool of himself.

"The boys talk so highly of you. Thank you for looking after them for a couple hours after school. See you tomorrow!"

He watched, awestruck, as you walked away with your brother and his friends.

"Y-Yeah, no problem!" He'd finally yell after you a you made it to the exit doors.

You turned to wave bye before fully exiting the building to the mostly vacant parking lot.

Eddie waved back weakly.

"See you tomorrow." He says to himself in the empty hallway, still waving even after you couldn't see him anymore.

A cheesy grin would grow on his face as he went back into the drama room to collect his DM stuff.

"Holy shit. You actually exchanged words!" Jeff would say.

"~See you tomorrow~" Gareth mocks, clasping his hands together, resting them on his cheek and batting his eyelashes.

Eddie glares at the younger drummer. "Shut up, asshole."

Early October is when he finally leaned forward to ask you a question.

"Hey, I don't really understand what's going on. Could you help me?"

There it was.

You accepted, falling right into his hands.

His plan was now officially in motion.

You were smart and nice. Of course, you would help tutor him.

Eddie knew that would work.

You were well aware of his academic status, or rather lack thereof.

You couldn't help but let that little 'I can fix him' part of your teenage brain take over.

You really wanted to help him pass and graduate, ESPECIALLY since he reached out to you for help.

You couldn't say no. wtf

You two had spent all of October studying together.

Even though he was distracted by you most of the time and always going off topic to get to know you, he actually was kind of learning something.

A win-win for him.

"Hey, so, uh, you know, Halloween is right around the corner, and, uh, there's a special rescreening of 'Alien' this weekend. Would you, uh, you know, if you're into it, would you like to go see- watch it, like, with me, I mean?"

The question came at the end of your recent study/tutoring session.

Over the last few weeks, you had shown nothing but kindness towards Eddie. You two even had conversations with one another out in the open, outside of the safe privacy of the library.

He finally had the courage to ask you out.

You hesitated.

"Oh, uh..."

Your apprehension was not for the reason he was thinking, but it was enough for his mind to start caving in on itself.

"I mean, I just want to show you my appreciation, you know, for all your help. There's no- no pressure at all. I get it if you don't wanna be seen with me too much. I won't blame you."

His response takes you aback.

"Hold on. That's not what I was trying to get across at all."

Your firm tone made his chest tighten with anxiety. If that wasn't it, what was it? Did you have plans already? Maybe with a boyfriend? Shit, why didn't Eddie make sure to get your current relationship status out of you before asking.

"It's just that, uh, I'm kind of a... wuss... with scary movies. The sci-fi part of it seems intriguing enough, but I heard that it was pretty scary... The Boys snuck the VHS during one of their movie nights a couple years ago. I just remember Lucas being on edge for weeks after watching it." You chuckled nervously.

Eddie chuckles, relieved by your answer.

"Don't worry about it. I'll be there to protect you from all the monsters." The use of his DM voice at the end goes straight to the pit of your stomach like hot coals.

You hold back a girlish giggle, not wanting to show how much that effected you.

"Okay, fine, but if I fail our test due to a lack of sleep, I'm blaming you."

After you agree to go on a date with him, he fully unleashes his inner flirt.

His surprising change in attitude towards you makes butterflies erupt within you.

His overt flirting brings out your sassy side as you two go back and forth.

That movie-dinner date was the first of many.

Eddie wasn't huge on physical PDA.

He was always super respectful and reserved in public, but he almost always made a show of you.

"There she is! The most beautiful woman to ever exist!"

"Look at her. A goddess among us mortals!"

"Here she comes! Make way for the queen!"

You eventually got used to his over the top antics, going from telling his to "shut up" with a shy grin to just embracing your new 'royalty status' with your head held high and a bright smile.

You'd been dating for months.

Your tutoring actually helped raise Eddie's grades, especially after you told him how much you wanted him to graduate with you this year.

Come spring, Lucas is now unsuccessfully splitting his time between Hellfire and basketball.

When Dustin and Mike bring in the third Sinclair into the drama room, Eddie can't help but cave quickly once she shows off her dnd knowledge.

Erica definitely gets her sass from you, though she's a lot more blunt with it.

Eddie can't help but form a huge soft spot for her, even after the game is over.

While Erica, Dustin, and Mike were waiting in your car to leave, Eddie stopped you.

"So, you know, we've been dating for quite a while now-"

"Five months and counting." You beamed.

Eddie grinned happily. So, you were keeping count.

"Yeah, soon enough it'll be six, then seven, then ten, then 12, then-"

"OK, OK" you giggled. Eddie's smile only got bigger.

"So, I was wondering..." That shy boy who could barely ask you on a first date returns, bringing a soft grin to your face. "Do you... Would do... I... Will you be my... my girlfriend?"

"Of course." You smiled without missing a beat.

"Really?!"

As the news sunk deeper and deeper, it became harder and harder for him to physically contain his excitement.

He jumped up and down, grabbing you by the shoulders to pull you into a hug, bouncing up and down with you in his arms.

Your shared laughter filled the empty parking lot of Hawkins High.

From that moment on, the word 'girlfriend' was used in place of your own name for months.

"I'm convinced you've forgotten my name."

"I could never forget such a thing, girlfriend~"

He introduced you to metal music.

You introduced him to leave in conditioner.

You two were high school sweethearts, ones that would last forever.

𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐃𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞

I decided to do this, because Domina is my favorite character in the work and HE NEEDS AND DESERVES ALL THE LOVE IN THE WORLD *ahem* anyway, as I said I saw little about him, I decided to do it

(English is not my native language, so I'm sorry if there are any grammatical errors, and if there are, please let me know. I would be grateful to improve my English, and there is no need to use a translator)

*╔═══❖•ೋ° °ೋ•❖═══╗*

It's very difficult to say what Domina's main love language would be, but if I were to choose one, I would say it would be acts of service

↑ It doesn't matter if it's something that you don't need help with or that you can do alone, Domina always appears to lend a hand or do it for you

↑ But if you do the same thing, you may notice a slight reddish tone at the tips of his ears and the softest smile that has been seen by humanity

You become practically the only person who can calm him down when he is furious

↑ More specifically, you calm his anger and hatred to the point where he finds it strange that he doesn't feel angry about certain things (his brother Mash)

Your relationship is very private, but that doesn't mean it's a secret from others.

↑ Some people think you're lying when you say you're dating Domina, and they make fun of you or tell you not to say stupid things

↑ This is because you don't act much like a couple and also because some people think that Domina would be with someone 'superior' to you (don't let Domina know this if you don't want anyone to leave without a life)

↑ You're kind of used to it, so you just ignore it and say something like "believe what you want" and then leave to spend time with Domina

Even before you guys weren't dating, Domina showed favoritism toward you

↑For example, every time he is in a group activity and you are not there, Domina watches and gives some tips here and there, and he would only do something if necessary

↑ However.... with you and another story, every time you are together in a group activity, Domina participates more than usual and does everything to make it happen perfectly

↑ If this happens, please praise him and say you are proud of him. The poor guy deserves all the love he can get

Kind of like Domina doesn't like PDA, since he prefers his relationship away from people's eyes, and in case someone tries to do something bad to you because of him (something impossible knowing Domina's strength),

↑ But inside the room? Oh boy, he'll almost jump on you if he's too needy

He prefers to be the little spoon (but sometimes he is the big spoon), since he feels loved that way

↑ So it's more common for him to always rest his head on your chest or hide his head on your neck

↑ One time you were curious why he likes to rest his head on your chest, and he kind of replies, "I like listening to your heartbeat, that's all," with a smile with his eyes closed

I consider that Domina doesn't have a good sleep routine because he goes out at night to kill people (chap. 82), so when you're so gentle when playing with his hair, he kind of starts to fall asleep

↑ Please let him rest his head on your chest, play with his hair, and let him sleep, he is really grateful for that, and then he can be rewarded with lots of kisses

Another thing that should not be left aside is that he is freezing, thus making him like your warmth.

↑ But how come he has a cold body like a corpse? I don't even know, I just know that he really appreciates your body heat

Domina is sometimes a little shy when she receives your demonstrations of love, her ears turn slightly red

↑ But do you want to see him a blushing mess? Well, just give him a surprise hug, but not just any surprise hug, this moment must be the MOST RANDOM moment

↑ Like, when you see Domina just doing something, you just run up to him, jump on him and cling to him like a koala. You'll probably fall down, but it's cute to hear the strangled scream he lets out, and he also gets really embarrassed and starts stuttering until he finally gives up and has to hug him too

As said in the fan book, Domina is always everywhere but never seen/found

↑ However, every time you go looking for Domina, you always manage to find her, unlike other people

↑ Every time they ask you, you kind of answer, "I don't know, I just think about where he would be and go to that place." Like, bro, how?????????

↑ So people kind of go looking for you so they can find Domina

Study meeting

↑ Domina likes to help you with the simplest things possible, so he will always help you learn about Black Magic, while you help him learn about the History of Magic and Politics

He is jealous

↑ But not worrying and such, he already knows that you love him and that you would never betray him

↑ However.... he doesn't like it when people get too close to you in a very 'friendly' way, he stares angrily until he starts to get depressed

↑ He starts thinking about how this person can be better than him, how they can give him the love he can't give because he doesn't understand this concept of a normal relationship since he is the son of a criminal, like...

↑ Please comfort him and tell him that after all these problems, you still love him

↑ This might make him cry because you love him even though he shows an emotional and weak side

You gifted him a stuffed naval

↑ Unbeknownst to you, the plush has become Domina's comfort item, and every time you are apart for a long period of time, he snuggles up to it

↑ He will never talk to you, his pride won't let him

You once went to a secluded beach on a date and sat looking at the waves

↑ At certain times, Domina mentioned some facts about aquatic beings here and there

↑ And after a moment, you asked Domina if she wanted to look for shells, and he agreed. You found several shells, and they kind of became a symbol of your relationship

↑ It may be something simple, but it really was a unique experience for Domina is so calm without worrying about her father's duties and just spending time with her s/o

No matter how much time passes, Domina will never forget the feeling of being loved just for himself, and he is grateful that you were the one who taught him about that feeling.

*╚═══❖•ೋ° °ೋ•❖═══╝*

hi there! apologies for the incoming wall of text, but this should be pretty well within your wheelhouse, at least:

i've fallen into a rabbit hole of trying to triangulate the most specific point at which akechi switches from using "Kurusu-kun" to using "Akira" to address joker. the main thing is that the variables are confounding -- the way most people play (like me and literally everyone on youtube), rank 6 is on 9/3 (still "Kurusu-kun"), and the next time you're likely to see akechi in a context where he addresses joker by name is after he's been recruited *and* is ready for the next ranks of the confidant (at which point it's "Akira"). so, related to that, i was wondering if you had any insight/sources on a few points.

first, in your "When does Akechi start using Joker's given name?" post, you mention that on 9/21 (outside of penguin sniper) he still refers to joker as "Kurusu-kun." do you have a source on this, and am i right to assume the implication is that this is observed after completing rank 6?

more generally, i'm curious about various combinations of confidant-rank and plot-progression when it comes to his greetings outside of penguin sniper. e.g., if you haven't gotten rank 6 by november (and in fact, i think you're locked out of completing it at that point? someone mentioned a 10/22 deadline for it), or if you talk to him after rank 6 but before recruiting him (as in your aforementioned 9/21 observation).

one last thing: akechi's dialogue on the train platform in the morning on 11/2. he uses "Akira" as an address here, firstly, and it's basically the only time he does so pre-third-semester outside of the confidant / overworld greetings; secondly, it seems this interaction is new to royal. given that it's new, i wonder if it's conditional on having reached rank 6 (i.e., you won't get the platform scene unless you've maxed the confidant so far), since the discussion seems to lead directly into rank 7 that evening.

TL;DR: very curious about teasing apart what happens because of completing rank 6 vs. what happens because of plot progression, and it's pretty fascinating just how hard it is to separate the two factors.

if you come up with anything, even just a confirmation of the 9/21 thing, thanks!

[here's that original post to keep it all together]

Hi! Don't overlook that you can always visit Akechi in Kichijoji. If he's there, he'll have a brief exchange and tell you he's busy etc if you can't do a confidant event with him.

Yes, the reference to 9/21 means this is after conf 6. Akechi switches from e.g. Kurusu-kun to e.g. Akira after he joins the team. The first use of it is on 10/31, outside Penguin Sniper—the first opportunity you have to run into him after your first foray into Sae's Palace, on 10/29. It is date-dependent; it's not dependent on conf 6.

The first opportunity you have to meet him in Kichijoji before that is on 10/22, when you're still <family name>-kun:

As far as whether there's a 10/22 deadline for conf 6, I don't know. I'll add it to the heap. The screenshots above were taken with conf 6 achieved. Like I mentioned above, 10/22 is the last time Akechi is available for a confidant rank-up before 10/31—"Honey, I'm home", the Shujin culture festival and blackmail, his admission to the team and the first entry to Sae's palace all happen in that interval. Akechi does not call the protagonist by name on 10/24 ("Honey, I'm home"), or, as far as I can tell, at any point before that Kichijoji meetup on 10/31. I think it's unlikely there are more complex mashups, simply because the script doesn't look that way:

{F1 81} is the family name (usually Kurusu or Amamiya); {F1 82} is the given name (usually Akira or Ren). Akechi has four possible greetings here. The first ("Hey, Kurusu-kun") goes to 10/22; the second, ("Oh, Akira") goes to 11/17, which is your last chance to do his confidant. The third ("Oh, it's you") is used throughout the third semester. I haven't been able to trigger the fourth ("Hey, Akira"); it may be unused.

Why do I think these may not vary? Simply because there are other F-codes like this, used as placeholders when someone's name changes based on a condition. Here's Muhen on Retro Street in Kichijoji:

That mysterious {F1 E2} is Muhen. But he's referred to by an F-code, because his name changes: before you do Akechi's conf 4, he's "Jazz Club Manager", but after you meet him during that conf 4, he becomes "Muhen". He has a special code that tests that condition.

But Akechi's chats only reference the protagonist's name directly. So my inclination right now is possibly, but probably not. Of course, it's possible the chat that picks the greeting from that set of four is where the logic is, so I wouldn't rule it out.

The train station meeting on 11/2 does lead in to conf 7, but the "Akira" address isn't dependent on conf 6—it depends on the 10/31 switchover we've already discussed:

Again, the given name is hardcoded; it doesn't appear to test the confidant level, like Muhen's.

other notes

Akechi also uses Joker's given name in the engine room—"I wonder why we couldn't have met a few years earlier, {F1 82}..."—and again, the {F1 82} code is hardcoded.

The only point I'm aware of when he doesn't do that is 1/2, when he walks into Leblanc and tells Sojiro he wants to speak with "Kurusu-kun". He reverts back to Akira, though.

Hi! i once saw a post (that I cannot find atm) comparing how Bruce and Ollie reacted to Jason/Mia killing a man, or in Jason‘s case possibly killing a man and the differences in their reactions. I have yet to read arrowfam material so I was hoping you’d talk more about it! :)

oh i found it! (i’m the jason/mia & bruce/ollie anon) https://www.tumblr.com/redhoodinternaldialectical/735180956729835520/you-are-entirely-correct-i-cut-a-whole-ass truthfully i didn’t really the whole thread only the jason/mia part but i’m v curious on ur thoughts on this :)

luckily for you i read the whole thread (which i do think is relevant to the question) and this is a great reminder of why taking editorial context into account when analyzing comics is so important! the unfortunate problem with the visibility attributed to a death in the family is that it obscures not only that starlin was only the fourth writer responsible (after barr, collins, and duffy) for characterizing post-crisis jason and his relationship with bruce, but also that starlin specifically wrote his batman run with a disdain for the robin character in mind. when you read dc #573–74, 79–82 / batman #408–13 versus batman #416–28 there's a really stark distinction in tone and atmosphere. although bruce has always tended towards discipline and principle he's also someone primarily driven by empathy. that shows in the barr / collins / duffy stretch because they're fans of the batman-robin dynamic to begin with. so you get scenes like this in batman #411

or dc #581

where bruce certainly expressed disappointment and reprimand initially but eventually mellowed out because he sympathized with and values jason's grief over losing his father. dc #581 strikes me in particular because bruce didn't have to offer harvey to jason after what the latter said earlier about leaving him for dead. but he knew the closure was important and decided to offer harvey to him anyway. there was always an emphasis on reciprocated dialogue taking place between bruce and jason in these issues whereas i think many people would agree the starlin run was comparatively characterized by bruce talking at jason or for jason but not necessarily with him. here's dc #425 for example

although starlin stopped short of painting jason to be outright evil he generally didn't offer him much sympathy as a character either. there was this constant undercurrent throughout the run of jason being talked down to and his personal emotions and experiences being diminished in the face of the mask when that is precisely what the barr / collins / duffy run didn't do. these writers were invested in and enamored with jason's personal life and they wanted to see him grow not only as robin but as his own person contending with complex trauma and grief. and way we ended up at a death in the family was comparatively ironic because starlin specifically refused to address jason's trauma until it was absolutely necessary and convenient to shaping an ultimate exit for the character. i think having that context in mind is critically important to analyzing any interaction between jason and bruce with respect to the former's purported leniency towards killing. would the bruce of the barr / collins / duffy run have reacted in the same way as he did above? would he have walked away from jason and refused to even broach the topic of why he may have killed garzonas? would he have displayed so little faith and trust? would he have abruptly cut jason off from the job without pretense or conversation? to me it's highly debatable. i would even go so far as to confidently say no

as for the ollie comparison, that points to another loosely related issue. character comparisons should not only be contextualized by editorial intent but also time period of publication. bruce in the late 80s immediately prior to one of the most climactic events in his publication was at a very different place with respect to editorial versus ollie in the 00s nearly a decade after one of the most climactic events in his publication. he basically operated off of a somewhat clean slate following his resurrection whereas bruce operated from the vantage point of accumulating some of the worst editorial baggage that would follow him for the rest of his tenure as a character. it's not to say that i think ollie would react negatively were we using his 80s characterization for comparison instead. in fact i still think he would be way more understanding of it than bruce ever could be given his own inclination to kill people where he believes it's necessary (see the longbow hunters and a significant portion of ga vol. 2). but i do think there's an irony in attempting to juxtapose these issues of ga vol. 2 against jason-era bruce without taking the entirety of the latter era, its writers, and its editorial context into account. if anything, ollie's contemplation in ga vol. 2 #40 is precisely what would go through bruce's mind were the scenario written by barr / collins / duffy instead. the fact that we're stuck with the legacy of the bruce written by starlin is unfortunate and to me something that should factor far more heavily into any purportedly good faith analysis of the bruce-jason (or even bruce-dick) relationship at the time

#outbox #long post #i hope this answers your question i know i probably went about it in a way that was not expected lol #but talking about this excited me! it's been so long since i had to go back and reread issues and grab screenshots to answer an ask #i really missed doing it. i am working this summer but hopefully i can still answer these types of asks from time to time

Nicole’s light eyes were the first thing people noticed about her, light green that looked like the fanciest gems in the world, shining and bright and full of wonder, Nicole was a baby but she was so smart, and curious too…she wanted to know where they were because her father carried her out of the car before handing her over to her mother.

This was a new place! She had never seen this huge building before! It wasn’t her nonni’s house or her grandpa Mav’s place, no this was so big and shiny! Nicole blabbed something, kicking her tiny legs as she was carried by Beatrice, gurgling happily.

“Well,aren’t you happy?” Rooster smiles as he opens the doors for his girls to enter, ‘She’s very happy today.”

“She is.” Beatrice agrees,kissing Nicole’s head and then turning towards Rooster, “Roos,remember-”

He makes a zipping motion over his lips, winking at her, “My lips are sealed.”

Beatrice sighs in relief, nodding at him and the two walk past the concierge who just smiled at them and gestured to the elevators. The woman was so used to them by now she didn’t even need to tell them what to do, they just entered and waited until the doors closed.

The reflection of the three of them faced back, in fact, Nicole’s reflection was wide eyed and confused, her little body stiff and alert because she just couldn’t understand what was happening. She looked back at her parents, then at the metal doors, then back up at the two, her little brows furrowing at how weird this was, “That’s your reflection,Nikki.” Rooster says, leaning down a bit to grab her little arm,kissing that minuscule hand and waving.

The other Nicole waved back, the little baby just looked even more confused, “Aahn!” she turned her head to hide her face from what she was seeing, preferring to hold onto her mother than seeing…whatever or whoever that was. Beatrice,who was deep in thought, looks down when she feels Nicole burying her face into her shirt, trying to hide herself from her reflection, “What’s happening?”

Rooster laughs, gently brushing Nicole’s head, “She got spooked,” he points to the doors, “By our doppelgangers.”

Beatrice blinks up to where he was gesturing, then back down at Nicole, laughing softly, “Nikki, it’s okay,” but her baby girl was holding onto her arm, refusing to look back ahead, “Okay, fine, come here.” she adjusts Nicole in her hold to tuck her on the curve of her shoulder, kissing her soft hair with one of her hands touching her back, “It’s okay,honey…it’s just you, but you are too young to notice it yet.”

“Imagine when she figures out shadows.” her husband jokes, “She’ll freak out.”

“She will.” Bea laughs, still rubbing Nicole’s back, “....what do you think Ev wants to talk about?”

Rooster shrugs, crossing his arms as they wait, “I have no idea, did she give you any…hints?”

“No, nothing at all.”

Bradley hums while still keeping his eyes on Beatrice,”Maybe something about her,” he stares down his wife’s stomach,”Pregnancy.”

“Maybe- oh,we are here,” she shushes him,”Nothing happened.”

“Nothing happened.”

Nicole only looked up when the doors opened and she saw something else, a door, a door that opened and showed her aunt Evelyn there waiting for them. She looked…relaxed, she didn’t seem upset at all, in fact she looked really happy? “Glad you three showed up, hi Nikki.” Evelyn smiles, leaning down a bit to be on her honorary niece’s eye level, “How are you,sweetie? Are you okay?”

Nicole babbled something that only makes Evelyn smile more and straighten her body, opening her door wider, “Come on in, Jake is inside too.” she mentions it mainly to Rooster, who nods while guiding Beatrice inside.

And once they do it’s…a lot different.

For one there are so many boxes inside, in different shapes and sizes and colors. Wiley was sitting on top of a large one, eyes closed and tail flicking as Jake messed with something in the background. The blonde pilot looked up from what he was doing to smile, “Well,look who it is.” he smirks, pushing himself to his feet with a grunt - everyone ignored the obvious pop of joints that came out of his knees when he did so- “No one told me the little princess was coming!”

If Rooster had to list everyone in the Squad who adored Nicole more than him and Bea, he had to admit Jake was on the top three - Payback unfortunately remained on the first place - because he truly adored their daughter. Rooster was okay with it because he knew Nicole would have…a lot of uncles and aunts who are just insane for her and would be just as bad as him when it came to her defense.

“Hi Bea.” Jake hugs Beatrice quickly, then turns to Rooster, “Rooster.”

“Hangman.” they clap hands onto a shake,” You seem busy.”

“You noticed,did you?” he looks back at the boxes, hands on his hips and a tired sigh leaving his mouth, “Yeah, setting everything up for the little one.” he nods towards Evelyn, who was slowly making her way over with her arms crossed, “Wanna help? Or are you rusty?” he jokes, punching Rooster on the shoulder, “Been six months already.”

Rooster takes a while to reply and his wife mentally panics, but he’s quick to reply, “I’m not that rusty, what do you need me to do? I’ll be over here,okay gorgeous?” he leans down to peck her lips and then kiss Nicole’s head before he walks away.

“O-Okay.” Beatrice smiles, Jumping a bit when she feels a touch between her shoulder blades, Evelyn’s tall stature appearing on her side.

“Now that the boys are busy,” she begins, “Can you join me?”

Beatrice blinks but nods, “Y-Yea, sure!” she was still confused as to why her friend called them over after all, it surely wasn’t just so Rooster could help Jake was it? She turned on her heel to follow Beatrice down the hallway that led to her massive room, blinking when she noticed how blank the walls looked, “Oh you…removed some of your posters?”

“I did.” Evelyn said,”My mom came over and said that such things wouldn’t be good for the baby, heavy imagery.”

“Makes some sense.” Beatrice whispers, entering Evelyn’s room “Woah.”

There were more boxes there, a lot more, “We are going to expand.” her friend explains, drawing a square with her hands and spreading them apart when she turns to the left, “Over there, it’s going to be the baby’s room.”

“....Really?”

“Yeah,Jake is practically moved over.” she shrugs, pulling her shirt a bit because it rid up enough to show more ot her baby bump,”We decided we could stay here since we don’t plan on having more.”

Beatrice swallowed hard, hugging Nicole close, “Oh, you already decided that?”

“For now? Yes, one kid is what we can do.” her friend explains, “Anyway, that’s not why I asked you to come,please-” she gestures to the bed, the only thing still free of any items, “Sit.”

Beatrice does sit against the headboard, mainly so she could keep Nicole upright and safe - and away from the edge, surrounded by softness and nothing more, without any cat fur in sight since she knew that Wiley was trained to stay away from the beds - her little daughter babbling something as she messes with her rubber monkey.

Beatrice looks up at Evelyn, whose face is still gentle, nothing on there showed any type of ill feelings, “...Bea.” she begins, sitting down on a chair in front of her friend, “Bea I want to ask you something really serious.”

“Okay?”

“Bea, would you and Rooster agree to be my baby’s godparents?”

Beatrice blinks, staring at Evelyn with wide eyes, “W-What, really?”

“Yes, you,Rooster,Shells and Bob are the chosen ones.” Evelyn smiles, ‘I thought it’d be good that way.”

Beatrice had no words, being a godparent was such an honor to her. In fact, Nicole’s godparents were Leonardo and Cynthia, while Rooster chose Nat and Umberto for his side…clearly it wasn’t a religious ceremony but it was what they chose, “Yes!Yes of course!”

“Good, oh God,thank you.” Evelyn drops her head with a sigh, “Jesus.”

“Is everything okay?”

“My parents wanted to shove some of my cousins to step in and I’d never let them get close to my kid.” she snaps, “Plus,I trust you guys.”

While the two talked, Nicole was busy playing with her monkey, chewing its head, looking around the room curiously and then noticing something colorful on the side. Two little things, one cylindrical and the other square, lying on the bed and pointing right at her.

Within arm’s reach as well.

She stopped chewing her monkey to stretch her little body until she reached the things, bringing it closer towards her as her mother and aunt talked. She just stared at the things, then started tapping them together, a plastic sound reverberated but the two women still hadn’t noticed.

Nicole blinks again, setting the things down, then grabbing them - they were heavy! - before repeating the process a few more times. She then decides, out of the blue, to try something. Beatrice still wasn’t looking when Nicole managed to balance one on top of the other, somehow it stayed up like a perfect T shape in the middle of the bed.

She laughs happily, holding onto her shoes as she stares at the new thing she just created by herself…somehow…Beatrice looks back down for a second, then does a double take, “Nikki?” she asks,”Did you- did you do this?”

“What?”

“Evelyn…I…well.”

Her friend looks to the side to see her body lotion and face cream on top of the other, a T standing straight in the middle of her bed, unmoving,completely still. Nicole laughs again, clapping her hands and looking up at the two women, “...does she…does this normally?”

“She has some toys that help but I’ve never seen her do this, oh my God Nikki!” her mother squeals, “I’m going to take a picture so I can show it to your dad- this isn’t normal is it?”

“How so?”

“Well,’ she pulls out her phone, “She’s six months old, she…already does a lot of things.”

Evelyn leans her weight on the bed, away from Nicole’s creation so it wouldn’t tumble down and smiles, tilting her head, “Maybe she’s a prodigy?”

“Haha, maybe.”

Nicole was happily oblivious to the conversation, giggling as she pushed the shapes down and watched them tumble on the bed. The body lotion rolled farther away until it reached the end of the bed but didn’t fall on the ground. Nicole looked up back at her mother and aunt with a gummy grin, shaking her little legs on top of the mattress, ‘...this one will be popular,Bea.” Evelyn says, “I think she’ll be a one of a kind child.”

“I don’t doubt it.”

“I mean it, her eyes are so bright,” Evelyn smiles, lying down on the bed to stay in Nicole’s eye level, “And she is so alert, aren’t you Nikki?”

“Aa!”

“Yes she is.” Evelyn smiles, her smile dropping for a second, “You know…my dad is trying to…I don’t know, be more present.” she whispers, furrowing her brows, “I think he wants to make up for the long time he wasn’t with me…he wants to be here for the little pumpkin.”

Beatrice smiles as she picks Nicole up again, settling her on her lap, “How is it going?”

A pause.

A long one.

“Complicated.”

“I thought you two were doing okay?”

Evelyn laughs,”We were…until he found out I was pregnant, then he just, doubled up the worry and protectiveness and wanted me to do this, do that…eventually we had a bad argument and I told him he had nothing to worry about since he didn’t know what was like to be a father like that.”

“...Evelyn, oh my God.”

“I know…I felt really bad afterwards but I just…came back home, avoided Jake and locked myself in the bathroom.” she whispers, “...I want us to have a good relationship,but it’s so hard. I can’t–I am not a child anymore,I accept suggestions but I don’t like when he tries to act like he knows what he’s talking about…hell even when he wasn’t deployed he was distant. Too many reports, meetings, this, that, like…ugh.”

Evelyn drops her head onto the mattress with a heavy sigh escaping her lips, “It’s just complicated…doesn’t help that he tries to use it as a way to show that’s how Jake will be like, he doesn’t know Jake. Jake is nothing like that.”

Beatrice could only offer Evelyn a gentle smile, she could understand her frustration because of her father, placing a hand on top of her friend’s back to support her. Nicole however was busy with something else yet again, but not something she could touch, no,she was looking intensely to the side, chewing her monkey as the two women continued talking.

Nicole’s light eyes were focused on a specific spot, one spot that suddenly made her giggle quietly, then giggle a bit louder, her little arm reaching towards nothing, “Dada!”

“Huh?”

Beatrice and Evelyn stop talking, seeing Nicole was still laughing, bouncing a bit and trying to grab the air, “Dada!”

“I think she’s missing Rooster.” Beatrice says, even if her eyes slowly drag towards the empty spot with a confused frown. She wondered what triggered Nikki to call for Rooster so suddenly considering she never did that before, “But…honestly,Ev…just give your dad a chance. You are his only child, you are pregnant…he wants to be close.”

“I don’t know,Bea.”

‘He’s trying.” Bea reinforcers, “Okay,he’s not the best at communicating but…he’s really trying to be there for you. He just wants you to be back in his life.”

Evelyn frowns,rubbing her nail over the mattress cover, licking her lips as she thinks about it, then laughs softly, “...damn, you know, Nikki is never going to have issues talking to you.” she says, “You are too good of a person Bea, better than I am.”

‘That’s not true.”

“No,it is…I almost stopped talking to him again for…no reason.” Evelyn pushes herself to a sitting position,” But…I’ll follow your advice-” Nicole only giggles at nothing again, stretching her arms even more, “Maybe you should take her to Rooster.”

“Yeah, yeah I will.”

“By the way,” Evelyn says as she stands up, taking Bea’s hand as she does so,”Me and Jake were talking about something too.”

“Oh?”

“Yeah,we both had this weird dream that you were pregnant again.” Beatrice’s face paled but Evelyn didn’t notice it,”I think my hormones are somehow going towards him because how weird was that?”

“Oh, h-haha,so weird!” Beatrice’s voice comes out high pitched and nervous, but she tries to play it cool, “S-So weird.”

“Ah, nevermind…come on,I need some water.”

Beatrice waits a few seconds to follow Evelyn outside, closing her eyes and muttering a ‘that was close’ once her friend was out of earshot. As she was leaving the room, Nicole giggles one last time “Dada!” before they make their way back to the front of the penthouse. Beatrice looks back towards the empty room, furrows her brows and decides that, right now, she really didn’t need to think about whatever was happening.

THE CULT OF MAKUTA MORTRAX

Hello again to y'all, first, happy holydays to all of you, second, i finally have some new stuff to show here (well, "new stuff" for some :v), i flesh out more one of the factions of a story of Bionicle i'm writting. Without further stuff to say, hope y'all like them

Starting from the bottom of their ranks, to the big boss, we have:

FOLLOWER OF MORTRAX

First of, we have the normal follower of Mortrax. They only saw that the only way to survive in the island that Mortrax controls, it's to be with them, but that can vary to follower to another. A friend help me out with their color squeme long time ago.

MODULAR ANDROID

Second in the chain, goes with the Modular Android. Created by Mortrax are fully mechanical,and it can change it's configuration, to their lower parts, to it's armament. I made almost all robots normal lego bricks, to make it more of a difference to a Bionicle, i felt that it would be easer to see the difference.

DRONE MC 82-99

Another of the creations of Mortrax, is the Drone MC 82-99, that can detach all of it's armament to fly at high speeds. It was based in the VF-19 from Macross Plus, and a MQ-9A Reaper Britanic drone. The name comes from the musician "MACROSS 82-99" that my friend told me.

MECHA-CULTIST

One of the more curious henchmen of Mortrax, is the Mecha-Cultist, that it's more of a cyborg version of a cultist (you can see their brain in the back of it). It's based on Robo-Cain from Robocop 2.

RAHK-VA COMBO

Other one it's the Combo of a Rahkshi, with a Vahki, mostly it's use by Mortrax when they feel that something it's going a bit out of hand in a territory. This was made before, because i like the color yellow, but i saw i could fit it a bit in the story.

MAKUTA MORTRAX

At last, Makuta Mortrax, the ruler of one of the islands. They prefer to use more of a beastly from. Uses their mechanical genious, instead of Rahkshi and powers. The true is, they one of the weaker Makuta, but compared to a Matoran, they are crazy strong, so they have an iron grip in the island. Based on Fenrakk, and has more of a figure of a weird dog and cat.

.Well, that would be all for the moment, i hope i can get more Bionicles in the future, my uni and work were really heavy, but i'm done with them for the moment, so i have a bit of a free time. Hope y'all have a great year, adn see you next time.

As a bonus, ima trow one of my first mocs i did in my life. I remember doing it in 2022 i think, really early for me, i think i improved a lot in a short time :v

Well, see ya later y'all

I've converted to Konbart, you infected and convinced me. :) I am curious though when you think they realized they were in love or when they got together. I know they're not really together in canon but for the ship when was the moment they realized it?

Hi.

Taking into considering strictly canon events and trying to stay as compliant as possible?

Final Crisis #5

After they both came back to life from being dead together.

I feel this is when they finally would have admitted that their feelings were more for each other than platonic.

Kon and Bart were both struggling with dealing with the world after they came back to life. You can also see in TTv3 the writers finally remembered that these two were extremely close in Young Justice and they are seen being much closer and protective of the other (see the entire fight with Holocaust in issue #82, in fact see the entire last quarter of TTv3).

The world they came back to was no longer the same, and both of them had changed and were struggling to adapt.

Kon's relationship with Cassie was strained and neither really knew how to fix it. Neither had the skills to understand why it was falling apart either, so they broke up. Kon retreated further into his role of Conner Kent afterwards and his new solo series kicked off where he tries to live as normally as possibly with varying degrees of success.

Bart's world also had changed in some pretty drastic ways, his grandfather was alive again and the entire flash family dynamic had shifted. Bart was understandably resentful of the fact that Barry was back, but not Max. Barry also was struggling too here and made some poor decisions as a result that led to his relationship with Bart being strained.

So both came back to a world that had changed, and they changed too and couldn't really find a way to get back in synch with it so they gravitated to each other for comfort.

They made sense to each other still when everyone else had changed.

So I feel this is when they likely would have admitted their feelings, recognized what their past feelings were when they were younger, and would have gotten together.

#konbart #bartkon #superpulse #kon el #kon-el #conner kent #bart allen #impulse #kid flash ii #i cry so much with that panel #bart is so excited he believes max is alive again and nope

Ensemble Stars!! MV Tournament - Round 1 statistics

Two days ago, the first round polls came to a close. Before we get to the Second Chance Round (which, spoilers, will consist of 37 polls running over the course of a week), here are some statistics I compiled in regards to the round 1 results.

Round 1 consisted of 91 polls. The polls were published over the course of 18 days.

Part 1: Voting numbers.

As expected, the number of votes started out relatively low and increased over the course of the tournament.

The average poll had about 57 votes (rounding up).

Top 5 polls with the most votes:

5. Match 34: Fight for Judge vs Crush of Judgement / Match 69: Or the Beautiful Golden Drop vs FALLIN LOVE=IT'S WONDERLAND (104 votes each) 4. Match 46: Le temps des fleurs vs Memoire Antique (105 votes) 3. Match 48: Believe 4 leaves vs Crazy Anthem (110 votes) 2. Match 25: U.S.A. vs Tell Your World (123 votes) 1. Match 71: Mystic Fragrance vs Yubisaki no Ariadne (130 votes)

Top 5 polls with the least votes:

5. Match 9: Crazy Roulette vs Kiss of Life (28 votes) 4. Match 8: Miwaku Geki vs Voice of Sword (27 votes) 3. Match 7: Be The Party Bee! vs LEMON SQUASH CHEERS! (25 votes) 2. Match 10: Rainbow Stairway vs Yukai Tsuukai That's alright! (24 votes) 1. Match 1: BRAND NEW STARS!! vs ONLY YOUR STARS! (22 votes)

Part 2: Voting results.

Obviously, some matches were more even, while in others, one MV absolutely dominated the others.

This chart presents how the votes stacked up, how even the results were - I called this proportion the sweep factor because it sounded funny. The higher the number, the more uneven the result of any given poll - with 1 being a 50/50 split.

The average poll had a sweep factor of 2,94 (rounded up). That means the average poll had a result roughly equivalent to 74,5%/25,5%.

Top 5 SWEEEEEEEEEEPS:

5. Match 27: Ruler's Truth (12,3%) vs Trap For You (87,7%) 4. Match 30: Tsujikaze ni Fukarete (9,6%) vs HELLO, NEW YEAR! (90,4%) 3. Match 51: Love×me⇄monsteR (90,9%) vs Love it Love it (9,1%) 2. Match 90: Yoru ni Kakeru (93%) vs Living on the edge (7%) 1. Match 63: Holy Angel's Carol (5,4%) vs Gaisenka (94,6%)

Top 5 head-to-head matches:

5. Match 61: Crossing x Heart (48,9%) vs Unlimited Power!!!!! (51,1%) 4. Match 69: Or the Beautiful Golden Drop (51%) vs FALLIN LOVE=IT'S WONDERLAND (49%) 3. Match 82: Meteor Scramble☆RYUSEITAI! (50,8%) vs Welcome to the Trickstar Night☆ (49,2%) 2. Match 29: Brilliant Smile (49,3%) vs EXCEED (50,7%) 1. Match 41: Hamtaro Tottokouta vs RELAX PARADISE (it was a tie! both pass to round 2)

Additionally, one can look at the votes each individual MV received.

Top 5 MVs with the most votes:

5. Eccentric Party Night!! (62 votes) 4. Believe 4 leaves (61 votes) 3. U.S.A. (73 votes) 2. Mystic Fragrance (80 votes) 1. Les temps des fleurs (93 votes)

Top 5 MVs with the least votes:

5. Zan ~Ketsui no Yaiba~ / Rainbow Stairway / Ruler's Truth (8 votes each) 4. I "Witch" You A Happy Halloween / CHERRY HAPPY STREAM / Nebula / Be The Party Bee! / Love Ra*bits Party!! (7 votes each) 3. ONLY YOUR STARS! / Play "Tag" (6 votes each) 2. DESTRUCTION ROAD / Voice of Sword / Love it Love it / Tsujikaze ni Fukarete (5 votes each) 1. Living on the edge / Holy Angel's Carol (3 votes each)

Part 3: Unit statistics

Producers of specific units may be curious as to how their favourite little guys did. Well...

These stats exclude Fusion Unit songs towards the ranking of the units (ex. Artistic Partisan does not count towards neither ALKALOID's, nor Valkyrie's song count). It also excludes ex-fine songs from fine's results.

Additionally, that chart combines the results of Adam and Eve towards Eden's results. If one were to count them seperately, the results would be as follows:

Anyways, that'd be it for now! Again, the Second Chance Round will start soon, so keep an eye out for that!

Ooooh dragon theories!!!!! I, for one really wanna hear it!

I'm a curious lad and you just mentioned one of the most universal and fascinating mythological beings. I must know what theory you have about them.

- 🐟

FINALLY I CAN ANSWER THIS NOW!!

This ask was based on another ask, which you can find here!

*SHAKES A CAN OF ROCKS*

GATHER ROUND CHILLENS! CAUSE ITS TIME FOR A SKITTLE RAMBLE!

Ok so technically I have a few theories about why dragons are so universal!

The easiest one is that humans as individuals aren't special and think alike a lot more than people want to admit which could be why we have so many repeat concepts throughout history where there was absolutely NO contact with the other cultures some even happening at similar times halfway across the world when that kind of communication wasn't possible😐... But I don't like that idea!😃 *throws it into a wood chipper and aggressive shoves the remains in a blender*

*dusts myself off* NEXT THEORY! You guys may wanna get comfortable for this one.

Now, this one may seem kinda far fetched, but I personally believe it has some merit, so stick with me here! IN FACT, this was actually going to be my college thesis before I dropped out, so I have collected a lot of evidence to support it at least being a possibility! (And in case anyone was wanting to know what I studied I majored in biochemistry and mechanical engineering and minored in psychology. If anyone wants to know more about that feel free to ask.😌 NOW BACK TO MY HYPOTHESIS!) But before we begin☝️, a question. Have any of you ever experienced a situation where you've met someone you've never known get to talking to them and realized that they've had the same wacky and insane idea as you that you've never told anyone about? Well, there's a term for! It's called ✨social consciousness✨! And because of this fascinating concept, I spent my high school and college years secretly experimenting on all my friends, family, and any stranger I was in the company of for longer than five minutes! (Ritz if you're seeing this, yes, I did use you as a test subject, but you can't be mad because you were and still are my favorite one.😁) All to push the limits of this concept in the name of science! And fear not! No humans were harmed in the making of these experiments except for that one kid in my high school college program who had an existential crisis when I discussed this theory of mine with him but that's neither here nor there. ANYWAYS! What I discovered was FASCINATING to say the least! I found that within close proximities, thoughts can to some degree be interpreted! And no I don't mean telepathy. Nothing has come out of those experiments so far BUT I'M STILL HOLDING OUT HOPE! What I mean is that all living creatures emit bioelectricity some more than others but that's besides the point and brains run on that bioelectricity! I believe that each species has a specific frequency and therefore the brainwaves of individuals might be able to be picked up on by another member of that species. Of course, for humans brainwaves can differ greatly and so also I hypothesize that it certainly helps if you have similar brainwave patterns given that some test subjects were more responsive than others but I didn’t have access to an EEG machine those cowards wouldn’t let me borrow one so I wouldn’t know for sure. A few of my finds were as follows: ~57% of the time when consistently thinking of a random tune someone else in the room will begin either humming or tapping to the same rhythm. ~82% of the time when intensely staring at someone from behind or an out of sight location they will directly turn to look at you. ~29-30% of the time when continuously thinking a certain word or action around someone they will eventually mention that they can't seem to get it off their mind lately. And there are many other data points I've collected over the years as well many other branching theories but I think you get the point I'm making. But it's probably that this point in time that you're thinking, "Skittle what the frickidy FUCK does this have to do with dragons?" And to that I ask you, if you took this theory and applied it to a very large population thinking about something all at once, what do you think would happen?🙃 I believe something every interesting would result from such a thing. Such as maybe say the transference of ideas and concepts from one culture to another even over great distances. Except with a few differences here and there to account for both culture and dilution of the transmitted concept. And this doesn’t apply to just dragons, we see similarities in religions that never even knew each other all the time. It’s incredibly interesting to think about.

Basically, if you learned anything at all from that one it's that the world should be on its knees thanking whatever cruel yet merciful god exists that I didn't continue down the path of science otherwise I'd probably be in some government lab either as a mad scientist with questionable morals or an experiment to see how far one can truly stray from sanity.

And my final theory!☝️

That dragons were a real species that might have been hunted or driven to extinction by a growing human presence. And if they were a very large widespread species found all over the world then regional differences would only be natural. That they, like many other species, adapted to their habitats. Or perhaps they are like tigers, leopards, lions, and jaguar who are all different species but are from the same genus. And if they were animals meant to fly then hollow bones would most likely be very necessary making fossilization and preservation very difficult. Paleontologists find pieces of large bones that can't be identified all the time. And fossilized eggs aren't even possible to be definitively matched to a species. We could have been staring at the answer for decades and we'd never know it.

Me trying to explain my theories in a manner that makes sense:

shade of yellow; yang jungwon

╰┈➤ a very nervous jungwon knocked on 10-3, runyx's practice room lightly and without a long wait time, raena appeared in front of him.

"oh – annyeonghaseyo sunbaenim!" she said

"please," jungwon laughed while he waved his hands in front of him, "you don't have to call me that when it's just us."

"oh – okay."

"is it just you?"

"jiwoo unnie was here earlier but she left already. do you need to speak with her?" raena said as she closed the door before turning towards jungwon with her curious eyes.

"no, i was looking for you actually." he replied.

"...me?"

the awkwardness between them was very noticable. even when they were classmates in highschool, being one seat away from each other, they didn't really speak one on one just the two of them.

"yeah – i mean i need to – not need but i just need to tell you something. i'm not sure if you're aware but yesterday when you guys were out of the city we used runyx's practice room for a day." jungwon started, his shoulders retracting as he explained himself.

"mhmm yeah our manager told us." raena answered, still wasn't sure where he was heading at.

"right... so... uh... when everyone left i stayed behind late at night and while i was practicing by myself i went to stop the music and my laces were undone and then i tripped, making the computer fall from the table.. along with your headphones."

jungwon nervously pulled out raena's headphones from his bag and the horrified expression on her face was no less than noticeable. her ears turned red, her face dropped, eyes looking at nowhere else but the her broken headphones.

"oh."

"i'm sorry, when the headphones fell, i sort of – um – stepped on it quite hard."

"right – that's... " was all raena managed to say. jungwon was studying her face for any changes in expressions and he could tell that she was completely mortified after hearing the news but at the same time trying to keep her composure. "it's – it's alright. don't worry about it – "

"no! i'll get you a new one!" he immediately cut her off, making her eyes go wide in surprise.

"really? i mean, you don't have to. really! i understand – "

"yes, really." jungwon giggled nervously, "i feel awful and i'm guessing you feel worse so yeah i will get you a new one tomorrow."

raena was caught in between anger and relief at the same time. he could see from the way her shoulders went up and the corner of her lips slightly raised up forming a small smile. she has dimples under her eyes, he observed.

"we can exchange numbers, if you're okay with that. it'll be easier for me to get a hold of you."

"yeah," raena said as she took her phone from her pocket and unlocked it, "my number is +82-1-230-8495."

the faint smile from raena's part made jungwon stare at her a little longer than he needed to. when he caught himself doing that, he lowered his head and took a tiny step backwards before pulling up his phone to type her number in.

a buzz notifying raena of a text came and she looked at her lockscreen. an unknown number with a text that says 'jungwon' appeared on it.

"got it." raena said, raising her hand that was holding her phone to indicate that she got the message.

"sweet," jungwon muttered. his nervousness came to the surface once again as he slowly backed away. "well, i'll see you tomorrow? again, i'm sorry for my clumsiness. it won't happen again. promise."

"yeah, totally cool." she was in fact not cool with the situation at all but alas, he was her senior. "see you tomorrow then."

with those last words, jungwon waved goodbye and walked away towards where the elevators are.

it was weird how he had spent 3 years of his high school life sitting behind a girl that would become his – kind of – coworker. the girl he then ended up rooting for when she appeared in r u next. which of course, he never told her. they barely talked in high school, they're barely friends now. but little did raena know, the senior singer, ex-classmate, and same aged acquaintance, have always liked her smile.

THREE. | masterlist | previous | next

pairing—jungwon x fem!oc

summary—after raena was unable to debut during the R U Next survival show, her along with 5 other members that were unable to debut were put into one group after the show ended under the name of RUNYX. a certain ex schoolmate of hers were silently, maybe a little bit vocally, was also cheering her on.

Some more OC Q&A from another side of the internet... Where I didn't feel like fighting with text limitations!

— For @vinjaryou

From: *: ･ﾟ✧ 90 loaded questions / interview the muse.

For Sal:

26. What’s the hardest thing about being rejected?

"Figuring out where you went wrong." She begins. "If it was even your fault."

What some may describe as a "thousand yard stare" claims her face. The softness of her smile is just enough to temper it.

56. What’s your favorite way to channel your aggression?

Met by another inquiry, she continues to gaze into nothing. Presumably. One may hazard to guess that whatever she's looking at certainly isn't physically in front of her, anyway.

"It's a work in progress." She then answers.

67. What is one thing people always get wrong about you?

"My age." She answers simply with a smile. Initially.

"The Ethereal aging process is very misleading." The shift in tone is welcomed. What starts off as a relatively (and surprisingly) easy answer from her then eventually grows in complexity.

"Physically, we even go through cycles where we age backwards." She continues, her eyes finally making their return with a new found spark of interest.

While it sometimes proved to be a sore subject, there were some aspects to Etherealism that were merely peculiar. Fascinatingly so, perhaps. And a curious gal such as herself does enjoy talks of the cosmos' many curiosities from time to time!

For Nat:

7. What is the one thing people assume about you that you wish was true?

A hardy "ha!" is thrown in the general direction of the question before she begins.

"That I was made of money.~"

If the answer seems disingenuous, it's likely because it is.

51. What is the pettiest and most immature way you’ve avoided losing face?

"Uhhh... so, like, do you have a few hours?" What was already a rather devious smirk takes on an even more sinister sheen. "I'll let you decide which is the worst.~"

She then proceeds to regale a laundry list of absolute treachery for what may have not actually been a few hours, but potentially could have felt like a few.

82. What is the weirdest thing that makes you sad?

"Lost The Game again. Damn it."

What game, you may ask? Perhaps you know of this game, perhaps you do not.

Either way, whatever it is, she spouts it out at such a speed that it may prompt one to wonder if this wasn't the first time such a thing had been asked of her. Or that it truly was some peculiar, ever-present source of grief.

#🌠 Ashe Anon | RP 🌎#Sal 🌌🎹#Nat 🐍🖤#vinjaryou #THIS ONE IS SO OLD #🫠#That being said...#I gave up on character art/custom icons for this #🕺#I figured their old character profile pics were enough #no sense sweating character art when there's technically already some manner of character art present!#forgive me #I appreciate the questions as always #though #thank you!#💙

did I hear you say prompts?

82. “Looks like we’ll be stuck here for a while.” and

97. “You’re so cute when you pout like that.”

with Stefan and Jesper perhaps 👀

"Write me some fluff?" you ask. I respond with a zombie apocalypse AU, as is only appropriate.

Jesper was only feet from the deer, stone-still and barely breathing in the twilight, and he nearly dropped his bow when the signal horn rang across the valley. He wasted precious seconds grabbing for it, and more glancing to the watchtower, where the red flag soared up the pole and the tiny figure of Ulf bent to the horn again, but Stefan was already grabbing his hand, sprinting back towards the nearest bunker. They'd been out a fair way, probably too far with night closing in, and the snarls and shuffling footsteps of the dead were already at their heels. Jesper shifted the arrow to his right hand as he ran, clutched like a dagger. Stefan was just ahead of him, twigs catching in his hair.

The dead moved fast, quicker than their rotting limbs and deceptive shamble should be able to carry them. Jesper had outrun one, once — that had been a bad day — but now he was matching Stefan's pace, and the sounds behind them drew closer. The bunker doorway gaped ahead, dug into a hill, bright flag fluttering atop the pole set above it.

Stefan barrelled through the door, hardly slowing, and tumbled to the dirt just inside. Something grazed Jesper's shoulder as he followed, and he pivoted in the doorway, slashing the head of his arrow across the face of the closest corpse. It fell back long enough for Stefan to kick the door closed, and he held it braced as Jesper slammed the deadbolts and hauled the heavy wooden bar into place.

For a moment, neither of them spoke. Stefan lay sprawled on his back in the dim light, both feet still braced against the door. Jesper fumbled for a flint and tinderbox. The door rattled a little in its frame, but the bolts held.

"Fuck," said Stefan eventually, sitting up as Jesper lit a small storm lantern with a taper from the tinderbox. "That was close."

"The hell was Ulf doing?" said Jesper, hands still shaking with rocketing adrenaline. "Should have spotted those way before they got this close."

"It's getting dark, and we're a long way out." Stefan grinned. "Which was not my idea, I'd like to add."

"Shut up." It had been Jesper who'd insisted on following the deer further, mostly because Lydia had brought in the last three and he'd been starting to feel inadequate. "Are you okay? Nothing got you?"

The scar on Stefan's forearm shone in the lamplight, a mess of twisted tissue where one of the shambling dead had sunk jagged teeth through his skin. Edvin had burned out the wound with a heated brand, and Stefan had been locked inside one of the bunkers as they waited to see whether the infection had taken hold. He'd been lucky.

"Clear," said Stefan. "What about you? You were closer."

"I think I'm okay." Jesper remembered the brush across his shoulder, and paused. "Actually, check my back?" He turned, propping himself between Stefan's knees and tipping his head down.

Stefan swore softly behind him and Jesper went cold for an instant, but Stefan was quick to reassure him. "Close one. There's a rip in your vest but it hasn't gone through."

"Ah, they'll never catch me." Jesper leaned back, resting his head against Stefan's chest. The door rattled again, and footsteps thumped on the turf overhead. "Looks like we'll be stuck in here for a while."

"Mm." Stefan picked a leaf from Jesper's hair. "Could be worse."

"Bet it's...over four hours?" Jesper's voice was idly curious.

"I'm not betting on zombie hordes, Jes."

"You just know I'm right." The door shook again as something hit it hard. "Persistent, aren't they?"

"You could use a bit of that yourself, to be fair."

Jesper looked convincingly wounded. "I'm plenty persistent."

"You put more effort into getting out of work than it would take to do it."

"More fun that way."

Stefan dropped into Thorn's voice. "Slacking off again, Stormrunner?" He laughed as Jesper jumped, startled. "Hmm...remind me again how long your count of dishwashing fatigues is by now?"

"Four months or so." Jesper grinned. "But I'm not doing them now, am I?"

"You'd rather be attacked by zombies than wash the dishes."

"Yep!" A bony finger crept under the door, and Jesper whacked it with the hilt of his saxe. "I'm starving," he added, looking hopefully around the bunker. "Do we have any food?"

Stefan shook his head. "Maybe if you'd hit that deer..."

Jesper shot him a rude gesture, and Stefan grinned again. "You're cute when you pout like that."

"Fuck you."

Could you write something about Terry's youngest daughter asking him for a bedtime story and the story she wants to hear is how Terry met beloved?

-"Daddy, how did you know, though?"-

-"I knew."-

-"Yeah, but, how?"-

Dusk rituals in his mansion estate household were very much the same every evening accompanied by stories, anecdotes and tall tales he'd tell, legs sprawled out and crossed on a child's plush bed, still carrying the sweat, cologne and salt of the lingering daylight and his time at the dojo, surrounded by an array of pillows, throws and stuffed animals of the serpentine variety (much to his pleasure and amusement) being invaded with a ricochet of questions that to his shock somehow always ended up being more complex, philosophical, clever and thought provoking than he'd ever hoped for from a kid, yet unsurprisingly, coming from his child, his flesh, his cunning little snakey, Terry ponders the answer on just how he was left certified the one was the one. How did he know? -"Your blood,"- There it is, sharp intake of breath as he speaks to the small being leaning on his shoulder, listening intently, never blinking, as if those eyes were ready to dry out the secrets of the universe. -"It tells you. It's an underling instinct."- He explains the concept that was drawing dangerous close to describing love at first sight. To describing pheromones. The birds and the bees. Something akin to destiny, possession, the red thread of fate, soulmates, natural attraction and absolute belonging. -"What's instinct?"- His princess asks as an immediate retort, peering up at him, ever so curious and inquisitive.

Ah yes. How would Terry describe instinct to a small child?

-"Darkness. The need to hide from what's out there."- He starts out simple and small, taking the soft end of the blanket and tucking it over a tiny, huddled body, cozying in his princess nicely as he speaks, keeping her snug and toasty. -"A gazelle running from a Cheetah."- He adds knowingly; that was a commonplace, near mundane example that could've been easily lifted straight out National Geographics. A hunter takes chase and it was simply the prey's cognitive, primal instinct to take flight in order to survive. He witnessed it firsthand on a Safari one time back in '82 over some Cuban cigars and champagne. -"The human eye evolving to recognize patterns in nature as a way to ward off from predators."- Terry blurts out finally, feeling extremely proud of that one, realizing too late his sweetheart undoubtedly didn't really understand what that all meant by her drowsy, discontent expression on the tender, plush pillow lined with a frame of lacy ribbons. He relents and tries again, employing the trappings of a Sensei to achieve an end goal. She was six and way past her bedtime after all. There would be time to discuss the nuances of human relations some other time. -"Breathing, that's instinct too. Don't have to think about it, huh? It just happens. Happens for free."- Terry taps the tip of her nose with a bejewelled forefinger for special emphasis. Can't believe he just said that. Happens for free. Yet somehow, it fit.

-So, when you met mom, you didn't think about it?"-

She interjects and there Terry halts, sitting on the edge of the bed.

Yeah.

Yeah, that was about the jist of it.

Seeing someone and finding them so appealing to the eyes, to the nervous system, to the hormones, to the heart, mind and soul he dared say, that upon speaking to them, face to face, realizing all the chemicals in the body appeal to the brain as well, the potent cocktail having every semblance of a thunderbolt and static electricity. Enjoying their scent and their visage and their voice and concluding, that's mine and I'll have it. But, he couldn't put it quite as explicitly or graphically to a child. That was he was contemplating all the carnal principles of lust with their mother on the spot. That he was contemplating telling every bad thing he's every did on the off chance they'll accept him for it. Instead, all Terry tactically says is. -"I didn't have to think, no."- He leans forward with a smile, planting a kiss on her forehead. -"I just took."- Terry whispers, clicking off the lamp on the nightstand and concluding that that too could've been explicit, depending how one interpreted it. -"And that's how you kiddos happened."- He stands up on the partial darkness of the room illuminated solely by the light from the hallway peeking through the door left ajar; this being the last child's room Terry visited for the night, the others lining the foyer, already fast asleep. She closes her eyes as he turns to leave her. She was the youngest, yet always went to bed last, wrestling that bit of control away from him.

He bids his snakey goodnight, content with the explanation.
