Ooooh~ Drink mix up? >.>
Because! Wes DID, in fact, get that dream job. HAS learned... after many, many hours of "beat about the head and shoulders with an ethics pamphlet by his great aunt", to keep his mouth shut! Family curse of Sight? WHAT family curse?
He doesn't see shit! Mind your business.
What're you? A cop?
Look, he sent Fenton a gift basket. He was a shitty, shitty "I have to be RIGHT and nothing else matters!" Stubborn lil asshole of a kid. He got better. Grew up. No one is there best Self during puberty. He DOES, in fact, regret it.
Which is WHY, he is deliberately ignoring Kent's terrible, awful, paper-thin, "who meee~?" Aw shucks BULLSHIT excuse of a disguise, like it isn't blatantly obvious he's Superman. Yep. Nothing to see here! Nothing but us chickens! Mmmmm, morning coffee! Delicious.
But see, here's the THING.
The Itty, bitty, teeny lil PROBLEM...
Wes grew up in Amity "Totally Not Supernatural Hotspot For Centuries" Park. He is... to put it mildly, genetically? A freak. His biology is ALL fucked up. Everyone's is. And it WAS NOT made better by the Fenton's playing fast and loose with their hell basement. The Ectoplasmic NUKE that was that portal.
There is a REASON his morning coffee? Is COVERED. Contained. Fenton brand, LEAD LINED, specialty cups. The sort that can't be EATEN from the inside out. Eroded after a few uses. They're ugly as sin, but they work. He even ordered a few covers from Star's etsy shop. (Apparently he wasn't the only one who hated how ugly they looked. Good for her though, he heard it was doing well.)
He SAYS this? 'Cause his morning brew is less... straight COFFEE... and more... how to put this? A blend? Brew? Potion, really. Like an energy drink. From hell. Or, partially at least, the Zone. It's the combination of roots, seeds, and a few dried berries. Kinda like a tea, actually!
Tasty. Adds this nice fruity, warmth. A zing. Goes GREAT with the coffee. And it really perks you up... if you are Limnal. If you AREN'T? It'll desolve your esophagus like swallowing straight acid. And that's not TOUCHING the... witch-y, more Seer specific bit of the blend.
That stuff is medicinal. You know, "calm the mind" and "mental clarity". That sorta thing. With a good ol helping of "don't blurt out everyone's secrets, you spacey bitch! For the love of God, those are our INSIDE THOUGHTS!". Which? Really helpful! Infinitely less likely to get decked. It's a family staple.
Poisonous, though.
They're fine cause they've basically developed an immunity to that part, but like? Wouldn't recommend. It's why he NEVER shares his drinks. Food? On occasion. If he PLANS it and knows not to add and interesting spices. But DRINKS? Never. Weston family brews are basically NEVER safe.
Which? Begs the Very Important Question ™!
Who's Coffee Is This?
Cause it SURE AS FUCK AINT HIS!
You never realize quite how fast you can go from "completely calm and kinda sleepy" to "bomb strapped to my chest, primal panic AWAKE" until it happens to you. His coffee was ON HIS DESK. People have passed by. He talked to them. Cups put down and picked up. Lazy early morning. He doesn't even register, really, as his chair crashes to the ground.
He's shouting.
People confused. They don't realize yet. His head whips around, looking for that distinct cover. Before it's too late. Before someone takes that fatal sip. He spots it. Bolting from his desk. Crashing through coworkers, over desks. Chaos and outrage. "It's 'just' coffee!" They cry.
Kent turns, confused. Pretending. Raises his (HIS! Oh god!) cup to his lips, unknowing. Wes SCREAMS a warning. But he doesn't listen. "It's 'just' coffee" They never listen. Curse of Cassandra. God's damn it. This is why his family fucking CONVERTED!
He TACKLES the man of steel.
RIPS his cup away from him, knows his eyes are frantic. How much have you had?! Spit it out! Wes voice ECHOES in the sudden silence. I'm a META, Kent! It could KILL YOU!
And oh, Oh NOW they get it. Or perhaps it is the burn in his mouth that finally registers. He rolls, spits oil slick nebulae that eat away the floor. There is blood mixed within it. It took mere moments. Superman stares, transfixed and horrified, as Wes shakes. He... he should probably get off of him.
He'll move in a moment.
When his legs no longer feel weak from terror.
The news room is in chaos. Lane kneeling by her husband, Perry trying to do damage control. He... he's probably gonna lose his job, isn't he? Wes wants to cry. Protection laws only go so far, after all. And warning his boss about his dietary needs means jack shit, after an incident like this. Beloved as Kent is. Not that anyone likely believed him.
They never do.
And now he's nearly killed Superman.

"Is this really it?"
The device around his wrist fit snugly and securely without biting into his skin or cutting off blood flow to his hand; only about the size of a decently chunky wristwatch even with the extra bits of material that climbed up his wrist and just barely touched his forearm. It wasn't exactly the most subtle, but it was something he could easily cover with the sleeve of his coat, and Vash fiddled with it while he waited for an answer, feeling cowed by the silence from the only other person in the room whose back was turned to him.
"Yes. This is the optimal size and shape for traversing dimensional tears-- something compact and easy to conceal won't provoke as many questions... your normal attire will likely do that just fine." said the Sinner flatly, without tearing his eyes away from the keyboard and screens. Vash always found that impressive and a little creepy-- though the flurry of fingers over keys did briefly pause. "Were you expecting something flashier?"
"No, just..." he trailed off, looking at his reflection in the face of the device. Easy enough controls scheme, haptic buttons on the scren to save space, a radar system attuned to the energy signature tears give off... "it's strange that everything fits into something this small, you know? This can really send me back and forth?"
"Not instantaneously, no. There's the initial setup time, recalibration if you need it... and of course, once you initiate a jump in either direction, it'll need a good amount of time to recharge." the man turned to face him, now, his sharp features and cobalt-colored eyes hauntingly lit by the light of the screens beside him. He continued.
"It's equipped with an adaptable energy source that can draw in and convert the naturally occurring energy in any location you wind up in." he gestured to the device. "Full recharge for a safe jump will take about two days, give or take the potency of that world's energy. In a pinch, though... you are also completely capable of powering it, should the need arise."
That made Vash's stomach twist, head snapping up in alarm, "me? You... you mean, my--"
He cut him off, "though I'd recommend this only in emergencies. I believe your guardians would have my head if you came back with hair like mine."
Black. He meant black-- the same color as the Sinner's long, pin-straight locks, and the color of the small tuft of his own hair, blossoming out from the back of his head. He made a mental note of that, swallowing and nodding. The Sinner seemed pleased with that response and turned back towards the screens, hitting a few more buttons in a seemingly specific sequence. Activating it, apparently, as the screen on the device lit up, too.
"It should be fully attuned to this dimension's energy any minute now, though I recommend waiting for at least twenty-four hours before attempting a jump. Any other questions?"
"N-no, I got it. Thank you, Doctor Somerset."
"You're welcome. Come to me if there are any problems or odd finds related to traversing dimensions."

There's a whole backstory to this. Order 66 doesn't happen, Anakin walks the hard path of redemption, Padme reconsiders their relationship and he ends up raising the twins as a single father and most importantly, Cody and Obi Wan have a cottage near a river with frogs in it. Anakin's something of an academic and the twins have recently started refusing to shield, so they've gone to stay with Obi Wan and Cody so Anakin can get some help.
None of that matters though. What matters is that someone talked to me about frogs and I remembered this. I did recently say I'd try to make the occasional cheerful post and this does make me laugh. So. I've dug it up.
Snippet:
Anakin was sprawled over the couch with a flannel on his head, he groaned dramatically as Cody entered. "A week! A whole week! I'm losing my sanity."
"Can't you just i don't know, show them its uncomfortable? Stop shielding yourself a bit?"
Anakin sat up slightly, the flannel slid off his face slowly before falling to the floor with a plop. "Don't you think I've tried that? I've tried everything Cody! She's never kept it up this long! And now she's got Luke on side! I've half a mind to drop them off to the creche for an extended sleepover and let Mace figure it out."
"Mace might have an idea...."
"Cody she'll recruit the rest of the kids! I've thought of everything and I've tried everything that might work! She's far too charasmatic, look how she has Luke caught in her spiel! She'll have half the temple converted. My child has the abilities of a cult leader, it's terrifying!"
"Why doesn't projecting back at her work again?"
"Well because it'll make her think she's won for one, she'll put up with an unreasonable amount of discomfort just to bathe in victory."
"Its because you can't make it bad enough isn't it."
"Of course it is! She's my little girl Cody! I'm not going to torture her am I! The most I can manage is being mildly annoying and then I have to stop before I start sending waves of irritation. I love her beyond reason but nobody told me how annoying 7 year olds can be!"
"You completely deserve this." Cody tells him dryly. "What you put Obi Wan through? You deserve for your children to be as annoying as you."
"Hey!"
"Its true! Well why can't Obi Wan project at her till she gives in then?"
"Are you kidding? He's even softer than me."
And honestly, Cody has no counter to that. "Are there any force sects you've come across that don't shield?"
Anakin looks desperate "None where the users maintained their sanity!"
"Well can't you tell her that?" He asked patiently.
"She's 7! She doesnt care! 'Insanity' means as much to her as taxes do."
Cody hummed. "She actually has a pretty good understanding of..."
"Yeah bad example, whatever. This is clearly my fault for having kids with a politican. Honestly! Convenient that she isn't interested in looking after them considering she is immune to this damned headache."
"I'm immune to the headache"
"I know Cody! But you are here!" Anakin bursts, before adding in a calmer voice, "Which is appreciated actually. Thank you."
"Yeah, yeah."
Anakin sighs and they both fall quiet for a while.
"How about different ways of raising kids?" Cody suggests. "Come across any interesting traditions there? Maybe different ways of teaching shielding"
"Ugh!" Anakin flops back over the arm of the sofa "None that I can think of with this banging headache! To be honest my research kind of centres around the whole hate thing, then there's the code and different attitudes to it..."
"Anything that might help with this though."
Anakin looks thoughtful for a while. "No not really."
Cody exhales.
"Although..." Anakin begins.
Cody looks up hopefully.
"This is a great example of chaos yet peace." Anakin continued thoughtfully.
"Youre joking right that's a joke." Cody asks, deadpan.
"Yeah of course" Anakin agrees quickly. "Although no actually, don't think I am. What's more chaotic than kids?" He thinks about it for a moment. "No this is good i can totally use this. The Jedi love kids, kids love chaos, therefore, jedi love chaos. That's a great intro isn't it?"
"Can you write the paper once we've solved this? Please?"
"I mean I guess. Though what I'm thinking about doesn't really depend on our success, it's just a funny little anecdote to get people interested, you know get the ball rolling."
"God I can't listen to any more of this."
He swivles in to a turn and strides from the room.
"Right kids, let's give poor uncle Obi a break from you two battering his brain, we'll go for a walk by the river before lunch."
--break--
Anakin doesn't say anything until the kids are in bed, though at several points in the afternoon Cody turns to see his eyes bugging out over the kids heads.
As soon as they are asleep he's throwing his arms in the air and whispering "What the fuck was that? What did you do? How?"
Cody finds himself smirking
Obi Wan looks perplexed "I would rather like to know that myself."
Cody laughs, "it's stupid, look it was something Anakin said, chaos yet peace right."
"You just told them the code?" Obi Wan asks a little shrill.
He laughs again. "No, no, anything but. Look, what feeds chaos?"
"The force" Anakin answers promptly
Obi Wan looks thoughtful.
"What? No!" Cody bursts.
Then he thinks about it. Afterall, he's hardly the expert. "Well maybe actually, i don't know, explain it to me later."
"Chaos feeds chaos! They were giving you a constant headache which undoubtedly was making it hard to stay centred, you were frustrated so you kept at it and it just egged them on."
Cody shrugs. "They immediately got bored when i didn't try to talk about it, then when they brought it up, I calmly refuted it: reminded them I don't have the force but they are still connected to me, and made up some shit about balance and how shielding lets them just project the super important emotions in the moment rather than you two having to sift through absolutely everything that crosses their minds."
"Reminded them that they probably don't want to know everything you think of, they agreed that would be boring and would make it hard to notice the things you do usually project for them."
Obi Wan looks thoughtful
Anakin looks somewhat outraged that neither of them thought of this
"The real kicker though, was the force sensitve frog." Cody continues.
"The... the what?" Anakin spurts.
"Down by the river?" Obi Wan looks interested.
"The frog isn't actually force sensitive." Cody clarifies, then after he thinks about it: "At least I don't think it was. It could have been."
That part doesn't really matter.
"Anyway! There was a frog, Leia did that thing"
"Grabbed it" Anakin says instantly
"Grabbed for it, yep" Obi Wan echos
"Yeah so she grabbed for it and Luke was just sat there; still, calm, you know: Luke. And he happened to be in the frogs path, but cause he didn't grab it or move or anything, the frog just stays there, on his hand."
"Right, then what" Anakin asks.
"Well then Luke goes, oh! Oh no! Leia I forgot to stop shielding, but the frog likes it! I can't stop now, frog likes shielding."
"And Leia is sceptical right, she's like, no, the frog just likes you."
"And it seemed like a learning moment OK?"
"A learning moment for a lie?!" Obi Wan asks, scandalised
"You just wanted the frog to be real!" Anakin accuses.
Cody carries on. "Yeah so i go, well i don't know guys, without the force i can't really tell if frogs ARE force sensitive but uncle Obi did say..."
"You brought me in to this! You've made me an acomplice in this false biology?!"
"Yeah i did. So i said that you'd mentioned some force sensitive frogs at some point..."
Anakin backs him up. "It does sound like something you'd say."
"Yeah exactly." Cody agrees. "So I said that, and then i was like, well, you know uncle Obi and your dad werent lying they did get really hurt heads from how loud you guys were being."
"And explained: because you two are twins it isn't so bad for you but it hurts your dad and Obi and they do know you really well! So if we extrapolate that, on to a force sensitive frog, well that frog might well get a hurt head if you aren't shielding, it makes sense that the frog might prefer someone who is shielding"
"So they werent bothered about it hurting us but god forbid the hypothetical frog has a bad head!" Obi Wan asks, somewhat put out.
Cody nods. "Yeah pretty much." He raises an eyebrow. "And it wasnt a hypothetical frog was it? It was a very real frog, she kept looking between the frog and Lukes head for a real long time in that intense way she gets sometimes"
Anakin gave the room at large an intense look
"Yeah that one, exactly." Cody nodded. "So yeah the frog was real, but the frogs headache, that was hypothetical."
Obi Wan looks less than convinced.
Cody met his eye. "You know kids! They aren't good at empathy when they are too close to it, they think you guys are indestructable and besides, they don't need to get on your good side, offending the frog was a very real possibilty."
Anakin spreads out his arms. "OK but i guess the real question is, will it last? Do we think the lesson might last from this one?"
He yawns. "Obi Wan, just throwing it out there, if you tell them frogs aren't force sensitive, you're dead to me."
Cody snorts.
Obi Wan shoots him an offended look.
Cody breaks. "Aw you know I'm on your side! I just don't think this really counts as misinformation? I didn't actually say the frog was just that you said a frog could be"
"I didn't say that though!" Obi Wan refutes. Adding in a firm tone: "Because frogs are not force sensitive"
"Arent they though?" Anakin asks. "I don't think that's actually been disproven"
Cody points at him. "Exactly! And you did tell me about a force sensitive amphibian like last week" He adds pleadingly in Obi Wans direction.
"You did? Why are you so against this force sensitive amphibian then?" Anakin questioned, perplexed and more than a little interested in the potential of force sensitive frogs.
"Well that one was one very particular species, not a frog and that species actually does exist!" Countered Obi Wan.
"I thought we'd covered that, this was not a hypothetical frog" Cody asks holding in a laugh.
Anakin laughs, loudly. "and we also talked about how Cody simply couldn't have known. With no trained force users present, who even knows."
At this Obi wan finally breaks, with a snort of laughter "OK fine I won't correct them but when they come to you with strange ideas about medicine or singing frog consipracys don't come crying to me! I warned you against fake force science!"
Anakin flapped a hand "Aw that's a problem for another day and besides, you know i will come crying to you as that's what i always do, that's what gramps is for!"
Obi Wan scowled at him. "Uncle"
"Yeah sure"

This is such a Top tier piece, I'll say my favourite in Predator uni along with Prey (I luv those 2 freaks🥰)
For someone purported as the heartless one, he is the most dub-con types romantic (from his side) shall i say. He's doing the things that I thought Jungkook would have?! But he has zero apathy towards himself too. It's almost as if he is so far removed from his own emotions that he doesn't really register is wishes and wants anymore. Highly Emotionally Retarded both of them 🙊 Good luck getting a single love you or even a smile in your direction for the next 1000 years.
I can't even imagine what MC's going through. It's like being cursed for a lifetime with your worst nightmare. I literally haven't cried ever reading any fic but this made that happen.
I feel for the mother too though. Now she'll have more regret and guilt for not cherishing the MC when she was there & the whole family of that officer 😭😭 He so didn't deserve this 😭😭 even though it felt like he had a crush on her before she left or maybe even her sister?? Really?
Namjoon will be super pissed two newborns and that also one with a vendetta 😷 Like I don't envision MC ever bearing Hobi especially in first few years when she's still new and powerful. The only reason she won't kill him is maybe you can't kill or disobey your creator. Otherwise, Mr. Hobi is a dead meat.
On the bright side, I can strongly see the whole maknae line following the I'LL CONVERT MY MC MYSELF route.
As for the changing, I kid you not I have always seen this in a dream (Believe me Like a Real Dream, dreamt while sleeping 🤐 months ago when I first read Predator 🤐) But for some reason it was always Jungkook doing it, feeding his MC his blood from the day he decided he'll keep her incase he drains her a bit much or something 🤣😂. So here it goes,
In my dream when the Sun turns golden with flecks of orange and pink Jungkook returns to the mansion with his MC in tow. They have not even entered completely yet when they are stopped by Joon, Jimin and Jin. He is all smiles asking a scared MC to introduce herself to his brothers. Joon get very angry though. He says "I have had enough from you, if you wanna do grown up things then you gonna deal with the grown up responsibilities that come with it. You can't just barge in here whenever you please". MC starts shivering and crying very badly and now it's a whole situation. Jimin's MC half asleep half awake comes down sulking and koala bear hugs a cooing Jimin that she can't sleep. Tae get super jealous and Jin makes a yucky face at them only to be hit by his boho hippie MC. Jungkook takes both of theirs luggage upstairs and starts preparing his room with a still angry Joon. Now, Jungkook gets very angry and he starts shouting "I thought that you'll will be happy for me like real brothers but you're just jealous that your girlfriend doesn't care about you at all so you're taking your frustrations out on other people with happy relationships". Their back and forth continues as they make the bed with a violently shaking MC in the corner of the room. Jungkook picks her up cooing at her that It'll all be okay just give it 3 days, stay strong and he's there with her always. Joon gets livid "What're you even going to do with her?" And Jungkook just gives her a kiss on her lips with a final promise of everything will be okay love as he twists her neck laying her on the bed.
DON'T LAUGH 😹😹😹😹
~ 👁️👁️
Oh yeah, Hoseok is a special case that's for sure. I think his fic had the most death in it in this series 🤔
But yeah, he really has tunnel vision and I don't think he realizes just how difficult his life is going to be with the MC.
I wish I could say I feel for the MC's mom, I do to a degree, but some of the things she does and says really tick me off (probably bc they come from real-world experience lmao)
I like your interpretation of how the Predator MC would be turned! In my head I picture JK being very defensive from the beginning. I can see him keeping her behind his back and firmly holding onto her forearm. It would be a pretty high stress situation when he returns to the house with her. Maybe we will see that in one of the fics 👀

gimme some headcanons for your scream ocs (as you can see I'm obsessed with them)
Sorry it took me so long to answer, it's been a day today but I'm finally in a position to sit down and give you these sweet, sweet headcanons. As usual, it'll be below the cut!
Kitty Headcanons:
- Her favorite movie is Little Shop of Horrors. The musical version, not the original film.
- Kitty absolutely cannot sleep if the room is too quiet. She has to have some sort of noise in the background. Music works but generally, she prefers to put a movie on to fall asleep.
- Kitty's favorite thing to drink in the world are the Slurpees from Seven Eleven. Her go-to flavor is to mix Coca-Cola and Cherry.
- There is a huge tree out in the field behind Kitty's house that has always been her's and Stu's "spot". When they were thirteen he carved their initials and a heart onto the tree.
- The last time Kitty saw her dad and step-mom, she was fifteen and had gone to visit them in Sacramento. She got into a huge fight with her step-mom who proceeded to kick her out of the house. Kitty's own mother refused to drive to come get her, so Mr. Macher and Stu drove through the night to get her and bring her home.
Tumblr media
Laurie Headcanons:
- She doesn't remember much living in Seattle, she was still very when they left, but her earliest memory is the foggiest recollection of the car accident that killed her mother. Paramedics who arrived on the scene said it was a miracle Laurie herself wasn't hurt.
- As children Laurie and Kirby were on the same soccer team. Kirby was always very good while Laurie herself was not.
- The first time Laurie met Robbie was at the public library where she would often spend time after school before her father got off work. They were ten at the time and she helped him with research for his science project on growing crystals. After he completed the project he gave her one of the crystals that he grew and she still has it.
- Laurie has become a pretty good cook, mostly out of necessity. She makes dinner for herself and her dad most nights.
- Laurie gets the best grades out of anyone in her class and is on track to be valedictorian when she graduates.
Tumblr media
Marnie Headcanons:
- Marnie has had a crush on Noah for quite a while and has been going to the video store where he works to find an excuse to talk to him. A while back she asked about a certain Funko Pop so she could start a conversation and now she collects them.
- The Meeks family has three pets, two dobermans (named Smokey and Bandit) and a cat (named Buford). Despite being the family pets, Marnie has taken on most of the responsibility in caring for them and it is clear that she is the favorite human. Marnie just has a way with animals.
- Saturdays are reserved for going to the mall with Brooke and then having sleepovers. They alternate which house they stay at.
- She's a secret nerd. Ask her about any plot line in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Marnie can answer correctly, without fail. She and her dad bond a lot over movies.
- It's commonly stated that Marnie is a generally very gentle, kind person. She's a vegetarian because she hates the thought of eating animals. The sight of blood makes her sick.
Tumblr media
Melanie Headcanons:
- Much like her dad and her cousin Mindy, Melanie is a horror movie buff. Her favorite movie is Jennifer's Body. She and her dad bond a lot over movies.
- The Meeks have a shed in their backyard that has been converted into an art studio for her. There's a large painting hanging in the foyer that Melanie painted.
- Her dream college is UCLA though she hasn't told her parents that she is going to apply because of how badly her mother wants Mel to go somewhere closer to home.
- Melanie is a clothing thief and her favorite target is Marnie's wardrobe. It isn't so bad, once Marnie is away at college but whenever she comes for a visit, none of her clothes are safe.
- Melanie is accumulating quite a following on social media because of her artwork. Her mom worries about it, but Melanie loves all of the attention.
