redesigned the evil fellas and rewrote some of their lore,,
for any1 who cares, basically donella is now a healer / medic. when she and ulla found the eternal library, they still got into an argument but this time don wanted to go home because they found what they wanted to find while Ulla wanted to keep going deeper. accidents happen and ulla is cursed to stay in the library while don is cursed to stay out of it. don then dedicates her life to trying to get her bestie out of there. The curse also caused her to get a lazy eye plus a scar. Hugo used her scar eyebrow slit as inspiration for his own eyebrow slit. Most of the people who work for her are people she has healed / provides medicine.
her muscle for hire (cyrus) got a massive design overhaul bc i thought they both looked far too Evil. He works for Don because his brother is a bit ill and he cannot afford the meds normally, so he acquires them through don instead. I think hes a bit like laios from dungeon meshi in terms of personality, kinda goofy and well meaning. when he has to attack Varian and Co, hes like keeps apologizing because he feels bad hurting kids (hes like 30is).
Hugo comes to work w don bc of his arm (in me and my sister’s rewrite, hugo doesn’t have his left arm no more (blonde and no arm trope) ) and don is the one who made sure he didnt bleed out so he kinda owes her. also she helped to Make his arm. She tends to set him up with jobs here and there, before she sends him on the Eternal Library quest mostly to test his trust.
In terms of visual design, don gives people that weird metal wrist band to show other rogues and criminals that they are under her protection. She gave hugo one but he mistook it for a Strange hair tie and uses it as such. He uses a wrench to tighten it btws. anyways, don doesnt say anything about it because she dgaf.
uh sorry for the long ramble, i just have a many of thoughts about vat7k (specifically my ver) uh but yeah, i have more to say but just so the post isnt too long lmao (also funny snufkin doodle bc i was watching moomin)

hallo! Would ya be willing to write Scout x Male Reader? preferably a one-shot or something, but honestly I'll settle for anything. I got a few ideas for ya to build off of if you'd like!
-Being protective of him! we talking wrapping our arms around him when someone gets too close, pre relationship.
-Flirting and getting him flustered.
-getting bloody while protecting him from an enemy
-Bit of a heavier topic- reader being masked (I always imaged like a fighter pilot helmet lmao) and being sent on a dangerous mission, one that they might not return from, even with the respawn machine. They take off their helmet and put it on Scout, giving a small smile while saying "Keep it safe for me, yea?"
-Reader might also have a cat when they leave. Hit him where it HURTS.
-Comfort while reader heals after said suicide mission
Alright gangsters, I'm exploding. it seems you want something very specific, but i can't exactly put my finger on it 🤔
Also don't question the name, motivation hit in the middle of the night when I was settling in and rewatching Arcane for the 80th time. I promise I'm sane you guys don't call a raid on me please please please
went with the suicide mission BTW if it's not immediately clear because it probably isn't I'm gonna melt
Sad Boston Boy Hours
Scout x Male Reader
Warnings : suicide mission themes, angst probably, slight gore, swearing, not proofread
Tumblr media
^ (dis yo boi?)
You didn't want Scout to hear about your latest mission. You wanted to delude yourself into thinking that not telling him was to make him not worry, but it was mainly because you didn't want to face him the day you had to leave.
Scout had managed to find out about it anyway through one very loud, very patriotic American as 8 out of your 9 other mercenary companions came to say their goodbyes in the dead of night.
You get a couple of handshakes, hugs, and pats on the back from the rest, and just as you're about to get in your vehicle, Scout's speedy footsteps rush out of the base.
"Woah, woah, woah! Where 'da Hell are you tryin' to go! And at 'dis time of night?!" He shouts, pulling you away and holding your arms tight.
"Scout- Scout, listen. This is something I have to do alone, alright." You try to defuse his anxiety and worry for you by running your fingers through his hair.
"Whatd'ya mean you gotta go on 'dis mission wit'out me? Wit'out anyone? Why would ya' ever gotta go somewhere without me? I mean, w- why would you even agree to 'dat?"
Scout looks stunned as you don't respond to him immediately, scratching the back of his head in confusion.
"I- It's just something I have to do. D- don't worry. I'll be ba-"
"Don't tell me 'dat, I'm not stupid."
"Scout-!"
"I said I'm not stupid. Listen ta' me, it's supposed to be me and you, forever! You. And. Me! You can't just go out and get yourself killed-!" He begins, waving his hands around to emphasise how displeased he is with this.
"Scout."
"Don't even try to-"
"Scout!"
Scout jumps a little at the volume of your voice, standing up straight in front of you. Now, he's listening to you. Finally. His ears even perk up a little.
Your hands slowly move to your helmet, taking the damn thing off to reveal your dashing face, adorned with scars and a bruise that never seems to go away.
Scout is mesmerised. He never got to see your face very often, and every time he did, it just blew him away. Why would you ever hide it away? He thinks. If he was as handsome as you, which he totally is, he wouldn't hide a damn thing, let alone his entire face.
His thoughts are interrupted as you gently raise his hands and place your helmet into them.
"Wh- why're you givin' me your helmet? 'Dis is your helmet. You're gonna need it, aren't ya'?" He closes one of his eyes and moves the helmet around a little, inspecting it.
"Not where I'll be headed. Listen, I want you to... to keep it safe for me, yeah?" You smile at him and move to caress his cheek, nervousness emanating from your affectionate touches. Scout blushes a little.
"No. You're makin' it back so that you can take your damn helmet back! I'm not losing you. I can't lose you. So I better not be keepin' this for too long." He pouts, pulling you in for a tight hug.
He wraps his arms and legs around your body for as long as he's allowed to before Heavy has to yank him off of your body.
"Damnit! Hey! I need'ta- give him a kiss. Lay off me, ya' lug!" He struggles out of Heavy's arms and kisses you on the lips before he's pulled away again, biting and scratching with your helmet in his arms.
Eventually, you're called back into the vehicle and Scout forces himself to watch as you're driven away to some place, with only your helmet as a way to keep him company.
~~~We time skipping dis so that i can time skip to dream land~~~
The last month had been Hell on Earth Scout. He was lonely and afraid that you would never make it back. Not even Medic's very best attempt at therapy (Having Archimedes follow Scout all day) could help with the mercs anxiety.
Eventually, the same bland truck that hauled you off to God knows where comes rolling back, and Saxton Hale himself holds you as you attempt to stand.
Scout sits in his room, mopey and sad, unaware of your return for a while, which allows you to swiftly get to the medbay.
"Fuck! Fuck it hurts! DON'T TOUCH THERE! TOUCH MY KIDNEY AND YOU'RE A GONER!"
"YOUR KIDNEY IS HANGING OUT OF YOUR BODY! I AM NOT SURE IF YOU ARE EDUCATED VERY WELL, BUT EITHER WAY, YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT YOUR ORGANS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ON THE INSIDE, NOT OUTSIDE! WHY IS IT OUTSIDE?!"
"I DON'T KNOW?! I DIDN'T SURVIVE ALL THAT JUST TO GET YELLED AT BY A MADMAN! JUST HEAL ME UP ALREADY!!"
"GO FIND A HEALTH PACK!!!"
You and Medic shout back and forth at each other, alerting the whole base to your return.
Although it is Pyro that plunges their axe through Scout's door.
"H- hey! What da' heck?! There are times when a freakazoid like you should leave a man ta' mope!" Scout cries, his ears starting to pick up on the sounds of your shouts now that Pyro has so kindly opened his door for him.
"What the...?" Scout watches as you run past his door, looking desperately for a health pack as Medic chases you down with a scalpel.
Do not piss off your local medics.
"Holy shi- W- WAIT UP, ASSHOLE!"
Scout calls and looks over to your helmet, which is sitting at the foot of his bed and smiles like a madman as he grabs it and rushes out of his room and past Pyro.
"Get a move on, py!"
"HUR HUD HUR HUDDAAA!" (Go get your man!)
This is where it ends im tired. I'll write hcs of scout taking care of you another day. Rn I need to sleep, gn gang 🫡👍

Newer Racer!Graves x Seasoned Retired Racer!Price
I had to ask my friend for some help with the specifics of racing but we got there! They're Formula 1 racers btw. All info I got for this was either from my friend or just stuff I made up so don't come at me for accuracy
Price got back on the track for the first time in a little over a year. He won his championship and by all means, he should be able to retire somewhere. Technically, he was retired. But even though he wasn't interested in getting back behind the wheel, he still missed the track.
A few Formula 2 racers had replaced him. He had his eye on a few, the most interesting one being the Southern one.
Phillip Graves. The man certainly raced interestingly. Price had watched a few of his previous competitions. He cut corners, broke rules, and couldn't stay in the lines any more than a child could. But he won races. Usually by a substantial margin.
Price was interested in seeing if that favoritism would carry over. Or, reluctantly, that skill. That baby face was manipulative. Price was positive of that.
Before their first race of the season, Price walked around, interviewing them. He got a rather sweet deal with a popular sports podcast, though to be honest, he didn't know a damn thing about them. But they'd make sure he'd have access to the track and an excuse to talk to everyone. It was perfect for a grid walk.
Several were old friends that he enjoyed talking to. Ghost waved to him but he kept his helmet on as he talked with him. He answered all of his questions with a lot more openness with other interviews. Price knew half of it was lies, but he was trying to make him seem more valuable and how could he ever fault his friend for that?
Price continued moving through the crowd as he mused over the new guy. The man had just popped up on screen, a recording of a previous race, and was working to remove his helmet at the moment to answer the interviewers questions. He was a little shorter next to the person than Price expected and he wondered if he wore lifts in his shoes when he was swarmed by the press.
Graves came out on the track and Price felt the air leave his lungs. The baby face was gone. He had a mustache, like the ones dads and pornstars have, and a five o’clock shadow. The small scar on his cheek has healed quite a bit from last season when he had gotten it.
Price was trying to figure out when the man became attractive.
Graves talked with the interviewer for only a moment before making a face and pulling away, as if they offended him. He caught Price’s gaze and beelined for him. His jacket was loose and undone since he didn’t have to get in his car yet and his hair was tousled by the helmet.
When did this guy get attractive?
Price slowly tilted the microphone to him, still scrambling for the answer to that question. “State your name for me.”
Graves paused and raised an eyebrow before leaning in. “Phillip Graves. The Shadow.”
“Fun name.”
“They gave it to me. Not the other way around.” Graves looked around casually. “What questions do you have?”
Price stared at him for a moment, debating the normal questions before deciding against it. “Are you friendly with the referees?”
Graves snapped his attention back to him. “I’ve met them once or twice. Why?”
“Your penchant for rule breaking. You think it’ll carry over?”
Graves clenched his jaw, the only sign of this being the stretch of his scar. “I win fair and square.”
“If you say so.” Price responded with a smile. “Done anything new to your car?”
“Modified it a little. Took out some unnecessary parts.”
Price worried what this guy could mean by unnecessary part. What could he have possibly done to his car??
Graves smiled at him. "John, right?"
"You familiar with me?"
"Used to be a big fan."
"Used to be?" Price smiled.
Graves shrugged. "You're retired. Can't be my favorite anymore." He grinned wildly. "Plus, you couldn't beat me anymore."
Price laughed. "Think so huh?"
"Know so." He smiled at him and walked away, something horribly confident in his gaze. "Now if you'll excuse me." Graves pulled on his helmet and patted Price's shoulder. He left to go get in his car.
Price quickly got off the field and watched as they took off. Graves's technique was spot on. Exactly what one would expect from Formula 1 drivers. Up until he was in second place.
Price watched as Graves carefully put himself at the line, bullying the other driver further out field. They were going such a close speed but Graves was slowly gaining on him.
For a brief moment, Price thought they'd collide. The crash would easily set fire to everything around them. The impact crushing them both.
But Graves pulled ahead and got in front of them, making sure they had no room to get in front. In a move that more closely matched street racing, he swerved slightly at the last second, just to make sure they couldn't try as he passed the finish line.
Price enjoyed the show, even if he thought Graves was being a bit of a show off. The race itself wasn't serious, more of a chance to get them driving after the off season.
Graves smiled at the cameras, his face on the big screen. He winked at Price who met his stare head on.
Price may not beat him in a race, he wasn't sure he wanted to get back behind the wheel at the moment, but he was definitely going to come out on top of this little thing they had going on.
It took two weeks for them to be caught making out in the locker room.

Would you do TWST head cannons with an introvert MC who has hella anxiety and nervous ticks (like skin picking, hand motions, head movements, etc etc). Maybe specifically that they have what can be serious limitations, however they selflessly insert themselves into situations that obviously trigger them but they do so because their help was needed/requested? (Could be romantic or platonic or ambiguous, I shan’t be unhappy with anything you write).
I don’t know if you have character limits or ones you don’t write for but if you do you could at least include Leona, Jamil, Azul, Floyd, and maybe also Crewel? 😇 Thank you!!
TWST boys’ headcanons with an introvert MC who has anxiety, nervous ticks and who always selflessly insert themself into triggering situations! (Romantic/Ambiguous, I made it platonic for Crewel)
Part 2 with Lilia and Cater right here!
Hi, hi, I’m soooo excited to write this, I hope you will like it!
Also, I don’t really have character limits, just say whoever you would like and I’ll write it! If there are a lot of characters, it might take more time. I'm sorry I took this long to fulfill your request, I was struck by midterm exams, they end tomorrow so now I can breathe a little.
English isn’t my first language btw, I hope it won’t be too bad.
And I mostly write MC with they/them pronouns to fit everyone in!
Okay, let’s go!
Leona Kingscholar
Leona is a very observant person despite looking as if he doesn’t care about whatever surrounds him. Hence, he quickly caught up on your anxiety and nervous habits.
When he sees you skin-piking yourself the first time, he doesn’t think much of it. But then, it happens again, and again, and again and soon he understands what’s up with you.
Would not understand why you would put yourself into triggering situations. Why was his herbivore so selfless and reckless to put themself into that kind of messes?
Sighs
I see him acting as if he doesn’t care much what you do except that he does, in fact, care a lot. Especially about you, you’re special in his eyes, and even if he doesn’t look like it you have to pick up on those signs because it’s actually quite obvious once you know him well.
AND YET you would find him casually walk up to you, lifting you on his left shoulder (yes, even if you’re a big person he will do that, he’s literally STRONG), and carrying you to the infirmary if you have any scars or damages due to your nervous ticks.
Would scold you because you shouldn’t accept to help others like this, mostly because it triggers you that much.
Soon, you will find him more awake than usual, as he puts efforts into subtly be there for you into this kind of situations, soothing your anxiety away the best he can.
I feel like he would ask Ruggie to keep an eye on you so you wouldn’t be alone if he can’t be there, or to tell other people to scram when you don’t dare to say no when someone make a triggering request.
“You should learn to be more selfish when it’s needed, herbivore. You can’t help others if you find yourself unable to do anything because of how it triggers you, right? Think. If you really want to help, think of best ways to do it.”
Jamil Viper
I feel like Jamil would be one of those who would understand you the best.
I mean, he’s also an introvert himself, he doesn’t have anxiety like you do but he does understand the need to put others first, even before your health. He does it all the time with Kalim, since his birth even!
HOWEVER, he finds it unacceptable that you, of all people, insert yourself into those triggering situations.
You don’t take care of yourself? Then he will do it for you.
Offers you to help whenever he can to help you deal with those situations for you, and even if you deny him, he will do it because he doesn’t like the fact you could get struck by an anxiety attack whenever you fall into those situations.
I even see him discreetly using Snake Whisper, his unique magic, to lure people away from you when they make requests you struggle to refuse.
If it helps calming you, I see him taking your hands in his whenever he sees them shaking or doing unwanted motions from you.
Would then softly stroke your hand’s bare skin with his fingers to help you calm down and to distract yourself.
Also he would cook for you your favourite food at the end of the day, a way to remind you he loves you, cares for you, and is proud of you despite you acting so carelessly.
“Here, I made this for you… What? It’s only to show you how grateful I am for your efforts, please take more care of yourself.”
Azul Ashengrotto
Oh, Azul is a busy one, he can’t hang out often. If he’s not busy with his shady business, he’s busy at Mostro Lounge or with classes. But nevertheless, he would clear some time of his schedule and spare it for you.
And that’s when he would notice.
You become more tired, more anxious. And sometimes, when you full-fill one of those requests you love so much (please, take note of the irony), he’s here as well, and that’s when he would notice.
He takes mental notes of the spasms your body makes, the motions your arms or your legs make, that are not common when you feel at ease.
Azul is no stranger to anxiety, but he wouldn’t dare to ask you about those nervous spasms you suffer from. Not that he’s feeling uncomfortable, but he doesn’t want you to feel more uncomfy than you already are.
YET, he would try to find a way to help you. May that be one of his potions that could make you feel soothed, calmed, at best to help you through your triggering episodes.
If you talk to him about your nervous tics, anxiety and the causes of those, he would make sure that you don’t have to do those any-more by letting the requests be full-filled by someone else (probable someone who owes him…)
Azul would also show you support with quality time, and protecting you from whatever situations triggering you. He doesn’t want you to go out of your way for other people, especially if it causes you harm in the end.
(Would probably ending up scaring people away with his contracts if they ask too much from you).
Would 100% cover the fact he’s soft for you though, but the Tweels see right through him and mock him for it.
“My, my, MC, would you like my help? Don’t even need a contract this time, this is all from the goodness of my generous soul…. Heck, just now I sounded like Head-mage Crowley, didn’t I?”
Floyd Leech
Ah, the moody one. Alright!
Floyd isn’t the type to care about small details, despite being very aware and observant of his surroundings. But this fact is irrelevant when it comes to you, his little shrimpy.
You see, Floyd doesn’t get enough of you. He likes messing with you, chasing you down, spend time with you to kill his boredom that annoys him more than anything.
You’re fun to be with, and that’s the reason why he spends most of his free time with you (and when his good mood strikes in).
That’s how he would notice the grimacing faces you make, when you blink to much or the way your nose wrinkles when you feel triggered. He doesn’t miss how worse it gets when you really feel bad and anxious, and he doesn’t like it one bit.
He wouldn’t find it funny, nor would make bad comments about it because this is just the way you are and this is just he way he likes you.
But again, you do that when you feel nervous, your ticks mostly show up when you’re triggered. Floyd knows you, he isn’t dumb and knows that you’re selfless enough to willingly put yourself through all of this to help other people with their stupid requests.
Man, he would be so SCARY.
Would 100% spend more time with you, where he clings to you whenever he can. If someone has (read: dares to have) the bad idea to ask something from you, and that this something happens to be one of those triggering things, Floyd is on them and trust me, not for a fun time.
You would have to learn how to deny those requests because, if not, Floyd would do it for you but not as kindly as you.
He would make you feel okay and at ease with your nervous tics. He gets that it can become annoying.
Would also ask if you want to cuddle because he likes to “squeeze” you in his arms.
Any other students making fun of you would end up on his to-beat-up list, for sure.
“Little Shrimpy~, this is not good, you should not say yes if this is going to be triggering. OR… Would you like me to squeeze them to ease things up for you? Hehehehe.”
Crewel Divus (platonic)
Oh folks, this one hits good.
Ever since you came to Night Raven College, Crewel swore over his magnificent coat, that he never saw you catch your breath nor get proper rest.
It’s always “Prefect, please do this”, “Prefect, can you help me do that?”, and everything.
He’s already horrified and impressed that you, the magicless student, lived through and handled many powerful and traumatizing overblots. And yet it seemed that you still gave other people your help.
At first, he doesn’t really get involved. It’s your business, he doesn’t see you often and he doesn’t want to cross the teacher-student boundaries.
BUT he would tell you, with his own words, that you can go to him if you need anything, just like the lost pup you are.
Would get suspicious as to why you become more stressed and anxious, you’re mostly unable to concentrate in his class, and he noticed also your behaviour becoming a bit more weird.
Why is the magicless puppy so tired? What happened to them? They seemed to be able to handle things here, no?
Then, he happens to witness one of your triggering episodes and everything made sense in his mind.
Would absolutely tell you to come at his office at the end of the class to have a little talk with you.
If you break down in front of him, he will listen to your worries and at best, patting your head so gently you feel like crying even more.
Would ask if Crowley is involved. But believe me, if he is, Head-mage is in for a not-so-fun time.
Hence Crewel would go on protective dad mode, and Crowley would be left crying in his office.
BUT, if the requests are coming from your fellow students, it’s another story.
You’re in for advices from him about how to become more assertive and selfish when needed despite your introversion and your anxiety.
Would gift you something that can ease your anxiety (like a ball you can press in the palm of your hand, that kind of stuff).
If he hears someone ask something from you that you struggle to refuse, he would gladly tell that student to ask someone else because you’re busy doing something important.
That important thing being healing yourself.
Crewel would make sure you feel understood enough. He knows you can’t overblot, but you might in you own way (with panic attacks or getting harmed by nervous tics when they hit too hard).
And finally he would probably ask trustworthy students to keep an eye on you (it will probably be Jack, because ADEUCE are, sure, your friends but always drag you in their in mess-).
“Be a good pup and listen well to your teacher: taking care of yourself will be your most important work due this month. But also every month after that. Have I made myself clear, MC?”
--------------
I hope y'all enjoyed it, let me know if there is more request! :)

a BUNCH of Garu/Karu meta: fashion, H scenes, scars, trauma, who knows Karu, sexuality, part 1
Over the past couple days, i wrote like 398429347 garu/karu mini meta and i dont want to flood the tag each time, so here's a bunch of them! I have a feeling I'll have more brainrot about them.... so I'm making this a multipart series.
BIG disclaimer that i did not play every event nor unlocked every intimacy room, so I am probably lacking some major lore information. If anyone has opened more stories, or knows answers to my questions, or has correct information, or other thoughts in general, please let me know!
A) Karu's H scene character development:
After Eiden fucks Garu in Ch 7: hates it
MG room 5: initially hates it, but then is like ok this feels good
EB room 2: really really wants to top
HC room 5: really wants to top, tries, fails horribly
FF room 2: too weak to be able to do anything about it
EG: knows that eiden is bullshitting, ends up giving in
BS: gets actually tricked, but then is like ok this feels good
B) Tally of Garu/Karu's H scene
Garu Ch 7- Garu doggy
Garu SR - Garu forward lap anal with vibrator, switches into karu+biting
Master's Gift- Garu, standing anal through shorts, Karu repeat ch 7
Endless Banquet- Karu ear licking & fingering through clothing, Garu front riding
Howling Cyclone- Garu Eiden blowjob, Karu forward lap anal + tied Eiden with bandages
Forgotten Fruit- Karu frottage + kissing, Garu- backwards lap anal + biting
Ethereal Guardian- Garu 69, Karu doggy against tree
Binary Starlight- Karu dildo + fingering, Garu front riding
Summary: Riding Eiden's lap- Garu 4x, Karu 1.5x
Summary: Doggy- 3 total
Summary: anal anything- garu 7, karu 3.5
Garu initiates- 6/7 out 8 (depending on if SR is considered Garu initiating), Karu initiates- 0 out of 6.5. (Garu has more because of the main ch & he takes up majority of the SR H scene)
Garu is very horny & submissive and really likes anal. 7 out of 8 scenes include penetrative anal sex, whether its fingering or Eiden's cock. Interestingly, neither of them have done the infamous missionary pose- its just some kind of riding or doggy. He doesn't seem to have any physical kinks yet (aside from anal), but he's into being submissive, serving his master, praise, and definitely likes sex- so I think he'd be into trying BDSM if eiden brought it up.
The 3 times we hear Karu talk/think about sex himself, aside from wanting to top & having a major ego... i mean praise kink- MG when he pushes Garu away saying he wants to feel good, EG when he vaguely says he wants to feel good, and BS where he thinks he'd like to be fucked but denies it when replying to Eiden. Karu is starting to trust Eiden now and accept that he (gasp!) might like being fucked. While this is, yay! character development!, i'm ever so miiiildly disappointed bc I thought Garu/Karu had perfect potential to be a switch. Karu would probably suck as a top, but Dante also sucked at sex in the beginning & he's gone through character development now. (Btw, I'd just like to say that Karu is a different kind of tsundere than Edmond is. Karu has explicitly stated he wants to top multiple times. Edmond is just wishywashy and uncertain about le horny.) However, in BS, there's also a vague conversation that Karu & Garu have- I'm not sure if the translation is just skirting around the specifics, but Garu assumes Karu doesn't like some of the "other things" about being a model and says "Don't you hate those things?" Those things either mean humans in general, specifically interacting with humans, or being sexy (or all 3). So while Karu wishes he could top, is starting to accept that he also likes being fucked, he is not as ridiculously horny as Garu is. Going as far as to say Karu might be somewhere on the ace spectrum is a bit far, but I can see someone making the case for it. (Asexual/ace spectrum people can still have sex for a variety of reasons).
C) Garu & Karu's Fashion
Of our yokai love insterests- kuya cares about his appearance, yakumo doesn't have strong preferences but seems to value modesty so he knows what he's comfortable with, (if quincy counts as yokai, he probably DGAF). and then we have garu/karu.
we don't know how they picked/got their SR/R/N clothing, but we can assume its something garu & his gramps slapped together in the Dead Zone (and for some reason Garu still wears it even after moving into Aster's mansion lol). (Btw Karu did prank people by stripping them, so i wonder if what's they're wearing could've also been stolen?) As for all his other SSR outfits- all of them are given by someone else and the Howling Cyclone "outfit" was some bandages, a coat, & a pumpkin hat that yakumo/eiden/garu found on the ground.
therefore i am very very curious that, if given the choice, what would garu & karu pick for themselves? cause i feel like they would have different fashion preferences.
and then i realized- growing up mostly isolated in the harsh Dead Zone- garu/karu's never had the time to even think about fashion, so neither of them probably care nor have any shame. what we can deduce though, is that they both have praise kinks and if someone compliments them in some way, then they definitely like it, regardless of what the outfit actually is. so i'm gonna try to figure out what their fashion preferences might be once they get more comfortable with clothing.
honestly, i think garu likes revealing clothing now. the only thing we know him to have picked out, the very revealing placements of the Howling Cyclone bandages and posssibly the jockstrap in Binary Star. (In room 4, Garu says that he & Karu(!) prepared "an ultimate skill for Master" and then the camera zooms in on his crotch. Like if thats not saying Garu picked his jockstrap, idk what it means.) I also think this was learned, because in Master's Gift, Garu was still kind of clueless on how sexy he looked and now he actively seeks out sexy garments. back to HC- garu strips everything to wear just the bandages & coat. He doesn't keep his underwear or look for pants or a shirt, which means he either wasn't socially aware, had no shame, or liked how revealing it was. Also, the jockstrap was a secret present for Eiden not for the public.
Karu is a bit harder since he seems to just go along with whatever (including whatever garu wants). and even in BS when karu is finally getting some spotlight on his preferences, he only cares about food & conquering/enchanting people. anyone got ideas?
D) Who knows that Karu exists?
I'm going through the Binary Starlight Garu rooms and i realized that Karu is interacting with random townspeople and no one seems to have any issue or confusion about that.
And then I realized, that after Garu meets everyone except Dante (and Rei) in ch8, he goes to Aster's mansion and has very little screen time until ch 13, and we don't really know who Garu is hanging out with besides Aster's maids and clan members. (We don't know when the side events are taking place in the timeline).
Nonhuman/yokai/wolf reactions to Karu's existence can possibly be excused, since they're probably used to unusual circumstances. i'm gonna excuse the clan members & aster's maids cause they have daily exposure to Garu&Karu. i'll assume that the clan members & aster caught up dante with who garu was off screen and, well, now we know Rei/Karu/Garu might have some HistoryTM.
but what about random townspeople? although garu can be hyper & extroverted, he usually introduces himself as just "Hi! I'm Garu!", not Hi! I'm Garu and sometimes I switch into Karu." In summer fest, garu/karu's just there as support so he's not really making himself known to a lot of people. And in Eerie escapade, i highly doubt he was having interpersonal conversations while battling monsters in the pampo village that they teleported to. But in the BS intimacy rooms, the modeling people/store owners are having actual conversations knowing Karu's name. In fact, at the end, it seems like Karu is doing most of the modeling but when its an aspect of modeling that Karu doesn't like, Garu takes over. Does this mean that garu is pretending to be Karu, or that everyone knows its the two of them? This will be interesting…. Bonus, for those who believe that Karu's eyes are actually blue and the yellow is only for the player, i think the store owners/fans/townspeople would point out if karu's eyes suddenly changed to blue!
E) Garu&Karu's sexualities
Ok so its hard to tell since klein (and saia!) doesn't have the same concept of sexuality that earth does.
that said, the yokai also have the bonus of not being human and them being based off some animal characteristics, of which foxes, snakes, & wolves also all display homosexual behaviors. so this will be interesting! i am not a scientist, this is just based off le googles.
Foxes- a lot of these species have sex and pair with male & female foxes.
Snakes- also a lot of homosexual partners/pairings and in fact some species can reproduce asexually
Wolves- alpha male wolves have 1 alpha female mate for life but may mate with other males if they're in heat, otherwise they live in a pack
So what about Garu & Karu? Consistently, Garu has said he only wants Eiden to fuck him. So we can assume that sexually, Garu is uh master-sexual, regardless of what gender that master is. However, because he is still a wolf yokai, I do believe that he views the clan members as his pack to still share both platonic and intimate experiences. So Garu would have no problems with Eiden telling him to seduce Edmond or something. In summary- Garu is unknown leaning towards whoever he considers his alpha wolf and thinks in pack mentality, aka poly. Also, he's 100% a sub.
Karu is, once again, more complicated. He said he doesn't only belong to Eiden and calls Kuya, Kuya-sama (translated to Master Kuya) sometimes. (In master's gift, he called Kuya "wily fox" lol. I think nowadays, Kuya and Yakumo are the only one he calls by their actual names, not something like "the knight" or "human" or "the priest" or "the vampire"). Karu also has the added issue where he is poorly socialized & traumatized as HECK and trauma sure messes up your perception of relationships. In my earlier mini-meta analyzing Garu/Karu's H scenes, I said someone could argue that Karu is aromantic or demiromantic or grey-ace.
Luckily, as an aromantic sexual person with trauma, i have some experience in this realm! Unfortunately, I'm not a writer and Karu isn't a real person- so a) I don't know the intentions so we don't know if his experiences are shaped by trauma or his actual sexuality and b) since he's not real, he can be open to interpretation! But let's assume Karu's base sexuality when not shaped by trauma. His horniness level is nowhere near Garu's overwhelming horniness, and while he's not shy to sex, he needs multiple experiences before gradually warming up to the idea of sex. Garu is also clearly attracted to Eiden as a person, whereas Karu is still in denial but also unwilling to commit himself to Eiden (but does want to hang on to Eiden- see the whole human slave thing). Garu seems knowledgeable in sexiness, but Karu just seems clueless about it. He also does not seem to know about human romantic attraction general. In summary.... I don't have a good conclusion for Karu at all. But someone can use these arguments to prove that Karu might be demisexual/demiromantic or on the aro/ace spectrum.
F) Garu's throat scar
(Quick note: Did Olivine say that essence can heal scars?)
So I noticed that even though Garu casually displays his other scars, he consistently covers up his throat scar in event + SR outfits. (We can only see it in Forgotten Fruit H scenes). Although Misty Vale implies that the scars could be from the Council experimentation, the other scars also make sense for Dead Zone injuries considering Garu has no armor or skin protection. He also doesn't seem concerned about covering them or healing them (if they can be healed? Someone correct me about the above statement), but his throat scar is consistently covered.
If the events seem to take place after the main gemstone storyline. The fact that none of his (old) scars are healed means:
-Garu probably didn't learn how to heal scars in the dead zone and got used to them & his Gramps was more survivalist- he either thought Garu would have a better chance surviving when looking tough & scarred up or just didn't care about appearances. And even if he learned now/after the Main Plot, in Misty Vale, Garu doesn't care seem to care about covering up all his body scars.
-Except Garu (or at least all his clothing givers lol) does want to cover up his throat scar though. Heck, garu even covered up his neck by himself when wrapping himself with bandages. If he wanted to hide it consistently, I'm sure Olivine has ways to heal it. However, this means that scar cannot be healed, so they cover it up instead.
Yeah that's all I got with this.
............
WARNING: This section talks about trauma. I am NOT a licensed psychiatrist or have personal experience with DID. This is only based off internet research, which may or may not be reliable.
X) Garu/Karu & Rei's Trauma
There's a lot of traumatized characters in nu carnival, but i think these 2 take the cake for the amount of physical violence and/or abuse done against them whilst lacking in power*. By that, i mean while the rest of the cast all have their traumas, they have had moments of empowerment in the past, currently have moments of empowerment, they had some empowerment during whatever caused their trauma (or were forced to cause other people's traumas therefore messing them up significantly too), or are literally in positions of power with ways to control their life circumstances on their own terms. For example, Blade, Kuya, Dante, Yakumo, and Aster had awful things happen to them or were horribly manipulated by others, but Blade, Kuya, and Dante are powerful fighters that have control over their autonomy present-day, meanwhile Yakumo & Aster are in a much healthier relationship with Eiden and have confidence in their new support network. (Blade and Kuya in particular also caused a LOT other people a lot of harm so that gets a bit complicated).
Rei & garu on the other hand, have had their bodies horrendously violated, are still actively dealing with it and, in my opinion, lack significant empowerment to control their autonomy. also, none of their traumas have actually been dealt with yet, heck we barely know exactly what happened.
and their trauma responses & coping mechanisms are completely different. garu does everything he can to protect himself (DID, amnesia, garu tries to be optimistic, karu is focused on self preservation). rei does everything he can to aggravate it (unhealthy coping mechanisms, everything is transactional & extremely goal oriented, kind of apathetic, and self destructive).
In rusted nation, rei definitely remembers what's happened to him, but it looks like he sugarcoated it amidst bickering with kuya, while Eiden & blade "escaped" so eiden didn't hear it. kuya is (overly) great at keeping secrets, so eiden will probably never find out from kuya what happened to rei. for rei's trauma, its kinda obvious that, that is what's going to be his character development.
as for garu, its harder to tell. i really want to know what'll happen when they get his memory back. based off misty vale & his EG rooms, Garu doesn't seem to be actively trying to recover his memories (heck his only reactions in ch 13 are fainting or switching to Karu). that said, i'd like to *think* that garu will accept his memories based off his optimistic response in EG. buuut i think his world might also fall apart. Karu seems to remember that humans "took advantage" of him somehow and he's on friendly terms with Rei, so it's possible Rei rescued/escaped with Karu. would Garu get mad at karu for not telling him or not protecting him enough? would Karu get mad at garu for being forced to front during all the experiments? if it turns out Rei was an active part of experimenting on Karu/Garu, Karu seems to understand him, but would Garu get pissed at them or scared of them?
also, i just wanna touch on something even darker. one of my theories a long time ago was that garu might've also been r*ped bc karu has SUCh a hangup about bottoming and being taken advantage of. In fact, Eiden calls Karu out on it during EB rooms, but Karu ignores the question. Anyways i thought, oh NU Carnival is such a cheerful game that it'll never go there. And then BOOM its confirmed in Rusted Nation that the devs are willing to go there. there's also the sex automaton in blade's memories. during that conversation, the researcher says Blade's design "does not have the functions for sex", which means he either didn't have a penis or it didn't function that way it does present-day. but because Blade can have sex now with a very human-like penis & cum, that makes me wonder if Blade was eventually upgraded (especially considering the noble that funded the research) and then tested out as a sexbot with the intentions of using sex to bait for assassinations.
...
Anyways! On that note, this wraps up a buuuuunch of my random analysis and brain rotting about Garu/Karu! Just had to get this out there 0.o so thanks for reading if you got this far???

Hey saw your post! Not sure if this counts as a prompt but I've had the idea that Sonic has jokingly said he meet tails when one day he fell on top of him while he stopped to perform a silly dance and Tails hates that joke (because in AOSTH that's how Sonic remembers it lmao)
Gosh, I love Aosth hehe ^-^ Thank you for the prompt!
If you think about it, Sonic and Tails could make up whatever stories about their first meeting they want since no one was around to prove them wrong, haha. Especially if they make up some elaborate backstories but their actual meeting was pretty mundane, comparatively. (Kind of like someone coming up with a bunch of stories about how they got a scar but they just fell off a bike)
Personally, I like to headcanon that the scene in Origins takes place in the middle of Tails's backstory from the Sonic 2 manulas, this specific scene is just the first time Sonic acknowledges Tails's presence. I just can't let go of the idea that Tails started to want to be like Sonic because he admired his attitude, not just because Sonic physically helped him. And the manual says that Tails has been following Sonic around for weeks, but Sonic pretended not to notice, just subtly keeping an eye of him. But of course he would drop the act when he saw that the kid was actually in trouble! And later on we get that iconic scene of Tails discovering the Tornado, which would be their first actual interaction. (It took them so long just to properly meet, huh)
And since you brought up aosth, I also want to mention something else. You know the iconic "mom, dad, and the picket fence" scene? I've actually seen quite a few people being confused on what it actually means (mostly because in fanfiction they try to explain the "picket fence" thing as a metaphor for something), so I'll try to explain. (Of course, if you deliberately try to reinterpret it in your own way, it's completely different, this is just for the people who are genuinely confused). The "picket fence" isn't a metaphor for anything, nor is Tails saying that he sees Sonic as a mom or a dad, actually, quite the opposite. The whole phrase "mom, dad, and the picket fence" is already used as a euphemism of sorts for "conventional/traditional/nuclear family". In the episode itself, Sonic first mentions the "mom, dad, and the picket fence" when he expresses disbelief at the fact that Tails would want to live with his biological mom and dad in a normal house. (Sonic is right to have this reaction, but Tails is kind of mad at him at this point plus he's a kid who's never met his parents and had just seemingly discovered that they didn't abandon him as a baby and were looking for him the whole time. There's a bit more context but I don't really feel like recapping the whole episode.)
So when Tails identifies Sonic as "mom, dad, and the picket fence", what he's actually saying is that he doesn't need a conventional family. He doesn't need a mom, a dad, or a house with a picket fence, because Sonic is all the family he needs no matter how unconventional it is, or how unconventional their lifestyle is (another big theme of the episode btw). Sometimes family is just two brothers who found each other when they didn't have anyone else. What's important is that they love and care about one another. And that's beautiful.

Just Let Me Die! MHA x Depressed Self Harming Suicidal Reader
You’ve been through a lot in your life. Your family constantly fights, and sometimes it gets physical; you have two older siblings, and they constantly hit you. Your oldest brother Joshua more often than not uses you as his personal punching bag, while your other sibling encourages Josh.
Your dad has shoved you against the wall a handful of times already, and has thrown at least three empty beer bottles at you. Your whole life has been like this, and to make matters worse, you’re being bullied at school.
Constantly shoved into the lockers, sometimes even being stuck in one; water, paint, soda, etc. being poured on your head, and of course, every so often, would have at least one person trying to hit you with their quirk.
You start to question why you’ve put up with this for so long, why you allow people to do these kinds of things to you.
**Sidenote: at one point during you being bullied, your main bully [Bakugo, of course] tells you that you don’t have a life, and if you want him to stop bullying you then you should just kill yourself….to which you actually take into consideration….and attempt it. As the bullying gets worse, you attempt to kill yourself again and again and again.**
One day, you decided you had enough of your life, so you started looking and thinking about what you could do to cope with everything….that’s when it suddenly hit you.
You remembered that your dad kept a box of different sized razors in his room, so one day you walked in, and took it. You also took a pack of cigarettes that your mom had, along with a few of her lighters.
You then went back to your room, and locked the door. You sat on the floor in the middle of your room, rolled up both of your sleeves, and unbuttoned your pants just enough to access your thighs.
You first brought the lighter to your wrists, and began to slowly burn, before moving to your thighs. After that, you took the pack of cigarettes, and took one out, and lit it.
You took a few puffs, then placed the end of the cigarette on your hand, and let it burn for about two minutes before removing it. You then took out one of the blades from the box, and began cutting both of your wrists, and thighs. You then put the cigarette out, and hid everything under your bed.
Deku was the first one to notice your self harm marks, specifically the burn on your hand, and cuts and burns on your wrists.
The two of you were training together, when your sleeve had slid up slightly. That distracted Deku long enough for you to knock him on his feet, and instead of getting up almost immediately after like he had been doing, he sat on the ground, looking up at you.
You didn’t notice that your sleeve had slid up, nor did you realize that Deku saw your scars. As you started approaching him, he thought he saw something just barely sticking out of your pocket.
He didn’t get a good look at it, but all he saw was something that looked like metal. “P-Puppy?” He stammered, looking at you. “Wh-what’s in your pocket? Also….what happened to your arm? Did Kaachan do something to you? Did he or Todoroki burn you by accident?”
Your heart almost immediately dropped, and you looked over at Deku. “Um…i-it’s nothing, Midoriya. Do-do you want to continue training? Or we can call it a day if you want.” You said, looking at him nervously.
Btw, some of your classmates had nicknames for you.
**Class 1A’s nicknames for you:**
Deku: Puppy, Smiley
Todoroki: Snowflake
Kirishima: Cutie, Pebble, (possibly Gemstone)?
Denki: Sparks, and Sparkplug
Tsu: Froglet, Lilypad, Lily
Mina: (Miss/Mr.) Smiles
Bakugo: [this one might seem more like an insult, but Smiling Freak]
Everyone else…apart from Grape Boy: N/N (Your nickname)
Deku looked at you with concern in his eyes. “Puppy, please talk to me. What’s wrong?” He said. You didn’t want to talk about anything at the moment, so you just brushed him off.
“Nothing, Deku. I think…I’m done training for the day. I’ll see you later.” You said, as you started walking away. “Wait!” Deku called out after you, but you continued on your way.
You didn’t want anyone knowing that you were self harming, or about your home life….at least, not yet.
As you walked away, Deku watched you, his kind-hearted gaze following you until you had gone out of sight. Little did you know, Deku wasn't one to give up easily, especially when someone he cared about was hurting.
He desperately wanted to help, but he knew he couldn't force you to confide in him. He understood that opening up about your struggles was a personal decision that only you could make.
But that didn't stop Deku from brainstorming ways he could offer support without prying or making you feel uncomfortable. He decided to start by subtly checking in on you, sending you small messages of encouragement and letting you know that he was there for you whenever you needed.
*’Im fine, Midoriya. You can stop worrying so much. Besides, it’s not important; and there’s other things that you should be focusing on and worrying about…such as hero training, and working to become a future hero. Don’t worry about me, I’m completely fine.’* You texted, not wanting to worry anymore about your problems.
Midoriya read the text, understanding your attempt to brush off his concern. Since he was so analytical, he was able to almost immediately see right through your text, but since he knew that you weren’t going to open up to him that easily, he thought that there was only one other thing he could do.
A few days later after him seeing your self harm marks, he knew he couldn’t keep it a secret and had to do something. He decided that whether you wanted him to or not, he was going to let Aizawa know that something was going on with you.
Once Aizawa was informed, he slowly started piecing together all the signs he noticed as well. “Thanks for letting me know, Midoriya. I’ll keep an eye on them, and please let me know if you notice anything else that seems off about them. I’ll talk to the principal and Hizashi and see what we can do.” Aizawa said, looking at Midoriya.
Once Deku left the classroom, he thought he noticed you heading towards the entrance of the school, so he decided to follow you and see what you would do.
He was surprised when he got outside to find you walking towards the dorms with Sero. It seemed like the two of you were talking about something, but Deku couldn’t hear what was being said.
“Hey, are you okay? What’s going on? You’ve been acting a little weird lately. Is everything alright?” Sero asked, looking at you, concern laced in his voice.
You looked away, and mumbled something. “What was that? Could you say that again, but a little louder?” Sero asked, looking at you.
Once the three of you made it inside Heights Alliance, you thought that Sero was going to ask more questions that you didn’t want to answer yet, so you looked away again, becoming slightly uncomfortable with the questions.
Sero stopped with the questions, and watched as you headed towards the stairs, eyes glued to the floor.
He, along with everyone else in the common room, were confused on what was going on, but knew better than to ask at the moment.
Once you got to your room, you got the box of razor blades out from under your bed, and made sure that you locked your door. You then rolled up both of your sleeves, and began cutting.
You soon got a text from both Bakugo and Monoma telling you that tomorrow morning they were going to be shoving you in a locker, and pour paint on you while walking to class.
You sighed deeply, and began cutting even deeper.
*‘Hey, you do realize what this weekend is…right? This weekend is the one weekend that me, you, and Josh are supposed to hang out. Also, me and Josh have the perfect place in mind. A fighting arena. Me and Josh have already signed up, but your names not on the list to fight. You’ve got a special job this weekend. You better come….or else!’* Your older sibling texted you.
You already knew what your part in the fight was; being your sibling’s personal punching bag, and punch dummy. Overwhelmed with everything that happened today, you put the blood stained razor blade away, and sat on your bed, silently crying hysterically.
You were rocking back and forth, unsure of why your family was the way it was. After a little while, you remembered what Bakugo had told you a handful of times already.
Without hesitation, you got off your bed, and walked over to your closet. You hated your life, and just wanted to die already, so you grabbed the rope that was in the very back of your closet, and immediately tied a noose.
You quickly sent a text to Midoriya saying that you were happy for all the memories you have made since starting UA, and that you were sorry. You then stood atop your desk, and tied the rope to the ceiling fan, and put the noose around your neck.
Without hesitation, you stepped off your desk, and let yourself fall. You immediately started to hang, and it would’ve been successful, had Deku not told Kiri, and a few others to go with him to check on you.
With the door being locked, Kiri wasted no time in breaking the door open, and immediately saw you. He, along with the others screamed in horror at the sight in front of them, and then Kiri ran over to you, and immediately cut the rope, causing you to fall instantly.
Deku then got the rope off of your neck, and tossed it to the side. Your classmates realized that you were still alive, just unconscious. Deku immediately called Aizawa, and told him that he was bringing you to Recovery Girl.
Aizawa was alarmed by Deku's urgent call and instructed him to hurry to Recovery Girl's office, promising to meet him there immediately.
As he rushed towards Recovery Girl's office, Deku held you carefully in his arms, his heart pounding with worry. Upon arriving at Recovery Girl’s office, Deku immediately realized Aizawa was already inside talking to Recovery Girl.
Deku ran in, and carefully set you on one of the beds. Both heroes looked at him worriedly, and asked what happened.
Deku took a deep breath, his voice wavering as he explained that he had found you hanging from your ceiling fan.
As he was explaining what he thought had happened, both heroes looked between him and you. “And when I found them, they had already fell unconscious. Kirishima got them down, and I got the rope off from around their neck.”
Recovery Girl healed you, and told Aizawa and Deku that you were going to be fine. “Midoriya, do you know what happened before they went to their room?” Aizawa asked, looking at Deku.
Deku swallowed hard, his eyes filled with concern as he replied, "I'm not entirely sure, but earlier today they seemed more withdrawn than usual. I noticed that they were talking to Sero earlier, but I didn’t hear much of what was said. All I did hear was Sero ask Y/n if they were okay and what was going on.”
Aizawa nodded, and asked Deku to keep a close eye on you from now on.
Once Friday rolled around, you were dreading going home because you knew what was going to be happening over the next two days, and you also knew what would happen if you didn’t show up.
You texted your siblings in a group chat saying that you weren’t going to be part of the fight, and that you weren’t going to be their punch dummy any longer.
Both of your siblings started threatening you over text, and said that if you didn’t show up for their fight, then you would have hell to pay.
*’You two assholes don’t know the definition of hell. God, I could tell you what hell really is, but we’d be here all damn day! My whole life has been hell; the two of you constantly ganging up on me, and using me as a practice dummy. Our parents argue and fight all the time, and I’m more often than not caught in the middle of it all! Dad has already thrown at least 3 empty beer bottles at me, and the last one almost hit me! Mom screams so much, that she could make the whole world go deaf; Dad has strength like the fucking hulk, and to top it all off, I never get a moment of peace and quiet at home! This isn’t what a family is! A family shouldn’t be this broken! I hate the both of you, Mom and Dad!!! I hate this goddamn fucking family! None of you actually care about me, you all just use me for your own personal gain! Go to hell, and rot there for all eternity!!!!’*
After both of your siblings read the message, you knew you were going to get told off, but you didn’t care.
The next few days in class honestly were a blur. You’ve had it with your life, and you didn’t want to continue getting bullied or used by your own family, so you went to go find a fellow student that could hopefully set you free.
“Kaachan.” You said sternly, getting the ash blonde’s attention. “I need you to do me a favor. A *huge* favor. Please.”
He looked at you in surprise, and raised an eyebrow. “What do you need, you damn ext-“ “I want you to end my life for me.” You whispered in his ear.
He turned around and fully faced you. “What do you mean? Why? What’s going on?” He asked quietly, still raising his eyebrow. You sighed deeply, and gestured for him to come closer.
“I’m…worthless. My family…they’re bigger assholes than you, and want me gone. Please Kaachan. I’m begging you. I can’t keep living like this; I don’t want to. I just want all of this to stop.”
At this point you were crying, but trying to hold back the sobs as much as you could. Bakugo could see the pain in your eyes, and knew that if you called him by his childhood nickname, then it was serious.
“Alright, fine. But I’ll do it after class. Aizawa will probably be wondering what happened to you if you’re not in class today. Deku told me what happened the other day, and said that when he brought you to Recovery Girl, she healed you and said that you would be fine. But, listen, you stupid nerd. If I’m going to do this for you, can you at least tell me why you want this so badly? You don’t have to tell me everything, just tell me what’s been happening lately.”
You nodded, and hugged Bakugo tightly. “Thank you, Kaachan.”
As you pulled away from the hug, Bakugo corrected you, and told you that until he did that favor for you, he wanted you to call him ‘Katsuki’.
It had been about two or three days since you asked Bakugo for the favor, and you knew he’d keep his promise.
“Hey Pebble. How are you doing this morning? We’ve all missed seeing you smile. It’s been, what, about a week now since we’ve seen you smile.” Kirishima said, trademark grin ever present.
You gave him a smile, but Bakugo could tell it was fake. As everyone greeted you good morning, you continued giving them fake smiles, and started calling them by their nicknames as well.
“Rocky, you down to hang out this weekend? I was thinking maybe a few of us could have a small get together, and just chill and watch some movies. I might see if Sero, Sparky, Alien Queen, and a few others would like to join as well.” You asked Kirishima, already knowing the answer.
“Hey Cutie, yeah! Let’s do it! That sounds fun. I’ll ask the others from our squad, and you ask whoever else you want to.”
Of course Bakugo was the only one who knew what was coming up in a handful of days, and he wanted to spend as much time with you as possible before that day came.
It was the day that you and a handful of your classmates were having a small get together, when Kirishima walked over to you, and asked how you were doing. You lied and said that you were fine, and that you couldn’t be happier.
Kirishima gave you his shark-toothed grin, and walked off to talk to some other friends, leaving you alone.
Just as you were about to go find Bakugo, Mina ran up to you, and hugged you so tightly that you thought she was going to suffocate you.
“Hey Mina. What’s going on? What up?” You asked, once she loosened her grip. “Sorry about that, Smiles. Anyway, come here for a second. I have to show you something.” She grabbed your arm and started pulling you before you had a chance to say anything.
She led you over to Bakugo, who was popping off small explosions left and right. “Do it again, Bakugo. They need to see this.” Mina said, as Bakugo slowly increased the size of his explosions.
“Stand back, everyone. If you get burned, then that’s your fault because I’m warning you now. Miss Wealthy, now.” Bakugo said, noticing everyone stepping back, and Momo creating something.
Once Momo created special sunglasses for everyone, Bakugo shot multiple explosions in the air, and watched as each explosion turned into a letter.
Everyone stared at the sky in awe, and couldn’t believe that Bakugo had wrote your name using his explosions. “I’m not done yet, you extras.” He said, as he sent a chain of more explosions into the sky, and watched as they created a light show, with each letter of your name dancing about before merging together to create something even more spectacular.
Bakugo’s explosions had rewritten your name, and right under it said ‘My little Explosion, I love you’ with a heart that had an arrow going through it.
You looked at Bakugo, and you couldn’t stop the tears streaming down your face. “Baku-Katsuki, I love it. Thank you! This is the absolute best day of my life!” You cried out, engulfing the ashe blonde in a tight hug.
He grunted in surprise, then slowly relaxed in your touch. “You idiot.” He said softly, hugging you back.
Then, he pulled away and planted a gentle kiss on your forehead, a rare show of vulnerability from the explosive hero.
He then gave you a look, and you nodded in response. Together, you walked in silence, letting the weight of the moment linger as Bakugo guided you away from the crowd and into a quiet, secluded spot.
As you settled into the peaceful spot, he pulled you close, wrapping you in his arms. “Are you sure you really want this, Explosion? This is something not even I will be able to get over.” You nodded, and told him that you were ready whenever he was.
He cupped your face in his hands, his eyes filled with a mix of affection and determination. He then told you to stand against the wall, and just let his quirk do its thing.
He stepped back, his focus intense as he channeled his explosive power. You gave him a look of relief, sadness, and a mix of other emotions, but mainly happiness.
He sighed deeply, his breath trembling with uncertainty. He looked at you, tears pricking the corner of his eyes. You, on the other hand, had a giant smile on your face, and your arms were spread, like you were waiting for a hug.
He hesitated for a moment, but then he gathered his resolve and stepped forward, engulfing you in a controlled explosion. Before launching it, he made sure to aim it directly at your heart, and did the same for every explosion after that.
With each explosion, he felt his own heart break and shatter more and more. He wiped the tears from his eyes, but they just kept coming.
He looked at you sadly, and noticed you were slightly gesturing for him to continue. By the looks of things, you could barely stand upright by yourself, and it looked as though you would lose consciousness any minute.
“Are you sure you want me to continue?” Bakugo asked, choking on sobs. You nodded, and told him to add more strength and power to his explosions.
He grunted slightly, and pulled the pin from one of his gauntlets, and directed a giant explosion towards you. “Here goes.” He said, his voice breaking.
Once he saw the explosion hit you, he thought that you had finally got your wish, to only find out, you could still move…if only barely.
He heard you struggling to speak, so he walked over to you, and knelt down in front of you. “Care to repeat that, Explosion?” You could barely hear him, but you knew that his voice was breaking.
“Finish….me.” You said, barely audible. He couldn’t stop the tears from flowing, but he did promise you that he would fulfill this one last wish for you.
He stood up, and got another explosion ready, and was just about to launch it, when he heard someone’s voice in the distance.
He gasped softly, and looked towards where the voice was coming from. He faintly saw blonde and red hair, and had a feeling he knew who was there.
He walked away from you, and whispered Kirishima and Denki’s names. “Hey, Bakubro!” Kirishima called out, approaching his best friend.
As the three of them stood in front of each other, Denki noticed you on the ground, and it looked like you had been hit with several rounds of Bakugo’s explosions.
“Hey Bakugo, what’s going on, man? Why’s Y/n over there on the ground, buried in rubble? And also, have…you been crying?” Kiri asked.
As Bakugo explained the situation the best he could, you noticed a piece of broken glass in front of you, and reached out for it.
Once you got it, you gripped it tightly, your knuckles turning white as you held onto the broken shard.
You slowly started trying to bring it up to your neck, but Denki noticed what you were doing, and ran over.
Kirishima and Bakugo ran over to you, and noticed what you were about to do. “No!!” Kirishima yelled, as he got the broken glass out of your hand.
“What the hell are you doing?! Are you crazy?!” He cried, tossing it away. Denki held onto you tightly, preventing you from escaping, while Bakugo looked at you with a deeply concerned expression.
“Baku…” you said, looking at him with teary eyes. He looked away, and whispered that he couldn’t fulfill his promise to you anymore.
Your eyes sparkled with tears as you looked between your three classmates. Kirishima and Denki gave you sad looks in return, and couldn’t believe that Bakugo was actually trying to kill you…nevertheless you practically begging for him to.
“Pebble.” “Lightning Bug,” Kirishima and Denki began simultaneously. “Why didn’t you tell us? We could’ve helped you? And wait….is this why you wanted to have a small get together earlier? Because you were going to…”
You nodded once, and shakily pointed at Bakugo. He quickly got the message, and began tell the other two your story, and what led you to this point in the first place.
After hearing your story, both Denki and Kirishima were crying, and couldn’t believe that you were keeping so much pain all to yourself.
Your theee classmates looked between each other, and nodded in agreement. Bakugo carefully picked you up, and brought you back to your house, Kirishima and Denki following behind.

Some Life Series interpretation lore (Some people call them headcanons... BUT NOT I!)
Basically a list of what I'm going to draw everyone as + some disjointed thoughts about how the biology/geology/magic works because I am an autistic little FREAK
(Okay to rb, just not putting this in the main tag because I'm embarrassed.)
Species list (● = More Human looking - ■ = More Furry looking)
Grian - ● Wither Skeleton + Vulture (Vanilla + Semi-Vanilla) (^ Resembles a turkey vulture specifically, unadded mob) Scar - ■ Cat (Vanilla) (^ Specifically a Jellie Cat) Mumbo - ● Human/Player (Vanilla) (^ Worlds most normalcore dude ♡) Jimmy - ● Tiny Bird (Twilight Forest) (^ Gold Finch Variety) Joel - ■ Hedge Spider (Twilight Forest) (^ Spider Centaur btw) Scott - ● Guardian (Vanilla) (^ Head 'crystals' are guardian thorns) Impulse - ● Minotaur (Twilight Forest) (^ Long Horn Cow, Pansy Moobloom) Skizzle - ● Valkyrie (Aether) (^ Wings are small and unusable) Tango - ● Blaze (Vanilla) (^ Has blaze rods circling his head) Etho - ■ Leucistic Fox (Vanilla) (^ Has Dark Gray/Light Brown markings, 'Domesticated' Fox) Bdubs - ■ Glare (Semi-Vanilla) (^Acts akin to skulk, but with docile moss, Unadded mob) Cleo - ● Zombie (Vanilla) (^ Doesn't burn in daylight due to mutation) Martyn - ● Creeper + Cat (Vanilla) (^ Makes Creeper noises but cannot explode) Ren - ■ Wolf (Vanilla) (^ I am implementing "More Mob Varients" ♡) Lizzie - ■ Aerbunny (Aether) (^ She rides on Joel's shoulders, also ears blend into hair) BigB - ● Human/Player (Vanilla) (^ He's just some guy ♡) GeminiTay - ● Deer + Skeleton (Twilight Forest + Vanilla) (^ Themes of chronic wasting disease, has a skeletal arm) Pearl - ● Boar (Twilight Forest) (^ Think about it, everyone's like "oh a passive mob i don't gotta worry-" and then THEY DIE AND DIE AND DIEEEEEE)
In my interpretation there's more dimensions than just The End and Nether. There's also the Twilight Forest and The Aether because those two mods register as Vanilla+ in my mind. (Also stuff like Glares, Mooblooms, Copper Constructs, etc. are here too because I'm a salty jackass and this is MY silly thing ♡)
People in this are more or less furry-esque due to exposure to magic. Scar lived in a more magical environment than Martyn, so he's more cat-like instead of more humanoid.
"Undeads" are just their own thing and not actually dead! They have light sensitivity to the point of burning/melting due to the sun leeching their magical energy. Skeletons are very thin naturally and have a high metabolism and very good eyesight. Their eyes are sunken and black but their pupils reflect lots of light like a cat's would. Zombies are slower and have a symbiotic relationship with a bacteria that helps them survive on less food but makes them smell kinda gross. Wither skeletons are similar to normal skeletons but are much faster, taller, and more muscular. Though, their bones are much more brittle.
Planets/Dimensions Radiate magic from within themselves, and Stars burn away their own magic and neutralize it with their light. (Hence why undeads burn in sunlight) The farther you go underground the more magical the lifeforms are. The Nether and Twilight Forest are both underground dimensions due to their planets being closer to their stars. The End is a gas giant with magic infused islands of rock that float naturally, though it is close to its star it's atmosphere is so dense that it isn't effected very much. Btw the Nether is Venus. I know this in my heart ♡ (the other three are just random high-magic planets that linked to The Overworld) The Aether is also a gas giant but is more linked to The Overworld's magic, thus when you fall into the core you wind up in The Overworld's atmosphere. Bedrock is infused with so much magic that it isn't breakable by mortal lifeforms.
Humans do exist! Btw! I know I only have two but listen... I'm a furry. Humans generally are more effected by magic than anything else, hence why there are so many human-like people in my interpretation.
That's all I have for now lol, enjoy my ramble. ♡

helloo i just stumbled acress your blog and if you dont mind id like to ask-
FELLOW GENSHIN LORE FAN????
if yes then what are your thoughts on the next dain archon quest-
feel free to ignore/not answer btw, no pressure ^^
FUKC YEAH LOORREEE
I’m more into Khaenri’ah/Abyss lore, than anything else tho, if i’mma be honest lol.
I’m absolutely interested in lore and stories and general though to be honest I think my attention span and sleep deprivation doesn’t allow me to make up anything to big from scratch
Σ(-᷅_-᷄๑)
But I’d love to bounce of others if it weren’t for my social anxiety so please I’d be absolutely interested in anything with this
I’m really late to answering this shit to where people have already posted the cutscenes of Caribert onto yt, which I watched because impulse control is a myth and I’m quest locked so-
If you haven’t seen it yet then by all means ignore the rest of my rambling;
So Kaeya is specifically the descendant of the founder of the Abyss Order, Chlothar Alberich. Kae outwardly says he has no idea of the origin, with how openly he handles his last name, but he also says it ties up some questions he’s had.
Of course, quote Diluc, “you can only trust half of what he says at best,” so of course taking that with a grain of salt:
At ‘worst’ that means Kae always fuckin knew/This is just the final confirmation about it, and he knows a lot more about the Abyss Order. (Also funfact: one of his first, base lines, like the ones you have access to w/ friendship lvl 1, have something asking “Is the Abyss Order bothering you?” Not to mention there’s an anecdote on “You’re scars of the dark? That’s… interesting.” Oh, and that first archon quest in the domains and stuff; Where Kaeya recognizes hilichurl aren’t this smart and looks like he’s about to talk with a Abyss Mage before adult barges in. And the. “Let’s just say I was blessed with certain… linguistic powers.” Shit, foreshadowing goes deep.)
At best: He had just a bit of knowledge about it, and confirmation opens a lot up for him.
I do doubt he’d actually turn to the Abyss Order, cause Hoyo making him essentially a villain/major (enough) antag would be… uh, unlikely to say the least. I can see some spying on the Abyss Order and double crossing them though, that fits with Kae.
And at the same time, Caribert is apparently Chlothar’s son, right? He’s obviously affected by the curse, being the hilichurl. And so if we’re going with the “Kaeya is from straight up alive Khaenri’ah, not just the ruins” that either means through shenanigans Caribert turned into Kae or Kae has a sibling.
However, Kaeya is called a descendant of Chlothar, so that’s a separation of time; But then that also brings up the question of how Kaeya knows of Khaenri’ah? His Story says things/describes Khaenri’ah in things in general that paints it as if he actually lived there.
Did he live in ruins? Then I doubt he’d have as much knowledge about Khaenri’ah as he could very well likely have (and not tell us, obviously, the little liar [affectionate]). Not to mention the paper he stole when his father showed him about “what being an Alberich” is about and stuff; embers blah blah; that doesn’t sound like ruins…? Ugh. He has a stupid amount of 4-pointed stars on his design too; There is no way he doesn’t know at least a good amount about Khaenri’ah.
Following the Caribert -> Kaeya thing;
Chlothar did fuck around with the Abyss sibling (I play Aether so I’m gonna say Lumine) to try and find a way to help Caribert with the curse and stuff. Hell, after we dig up the bodies when Dain wakes us up, Dain questions if Chlothar found a way to stop the curse or something. So perhaps Chlothar did “cure” (to some level, otherwise they wouldn’t need to do the Loom of Fate shit) of some sorts that returned Caribert?
And then due to Abyssal time shenanigans (it’s already proven to fuck with time, look at Ajax/Childe) memories got fucked and Chlothar decided it’d be best to leave Kaeya in Mond, whether as a spy or for a better life? Kaeya does still have that eyes patch, after all. And it’s not implausible that there was a name change for ambiguity.
But at the same time, a ‘cure’ for the curse would be questionable - why hasn’t it been mass produced/practiced by now then? - not to mention I don’t think Kaeya would only get away from all that with just an eyepatch covering his face. And again, Kaeya was described as a “descendant” of Chlothar, and it’s referred to as an “ancestor/ancestry” specifically, so for the time thing it’s unlikely.
Not to mention, Chlothar also has a bigger star, closer to Dain than Kaeya’s. As Kae put it “pure-blood Khaenri’ahn”.
So yeah, Kaeya is probably just more of a descendant, if his appearance contradicting the description of a Khaenri’ahn has to say anything (“Light hair, fair skin, star-pupil” Kae is one of the 3 playable characters that has a darker skin tone, he has dark blue hair, and his star pupil is small than compared to Dain or Halfdan. …Though Chlothar has black hair. Huh).
But bring up the fact that he describes Khaenri’ah like he’s lived there and the. That brings up and entire other question/argument. Then what was Kaeya’s father, Chlothar or not, doing? Was he part of the Abyss Order? Or was it just something purely Khaenri’ahn? How is he not affected by the curse; was it the fact that he’s only part Khaenri’ahn?
So much questions so little information. This is the reason I love and hate lore aaaaaaa-
Okokok
Caribert & Kae are siblings? - Again the “descendant” and “ancestry” thing, and he is suspiciously absent if they are siblings. (Huh, the abyss/Khaenri’ah is having the small theme of siblings/siblings in arms. Aether & Lumine; Dain & Halfdan as brothers in arms; hell, in the more abyss based - Childe, you know with Teucer and shit, and then Kaeya, with Caribert or Diluc.
Of course I’m in love with the head cannon that Kae is from when Khaenri’ah was actually alive lmao :,)
And that’s only Kaeya, granted he is my favorite.
Now, the travelers. (Again, Aether as traveler, Lumi as Abyssal sibling)
Right. So we see Lumine’s memories of her time traveling with Dain, in which she meets Chlothar Alberich, who she sorta-helps with his son, Caribert. Then, once she wakes up, Chlothar goes on for a bit about the abyss being the answer to the curse or something, etc.
Assumedly, this would be where Chlothar founded the Abyss Order? At least, this is the main inviting event that leads to the Abyss Order.
I think, if I’ve read this correctly, Lumine is still traveling with Dain, so it’s not like she actively helps and joins with Chlothar. If what we say as the traveler in Lumine’s memories actually did happen, she probably joins the Abyss later; Alberich, maybe partly the fact that she’s princess of Khaenri’ah and was also incredibly helpful to the creation of the abyss order, gives her the title of Princess in the Abyss Order.
Did something happen during the travel that caused her to join the Order? Or was it just the fact of mulling it over for fuck knows how long and then splitting with Dain that got her to join?
Also, if the Alberich clan took over after the fall of King Irmin, then how do Lumine and Aether go into this? Are the the kids of King Irmin? We’re they too young to rule or something; then how was Lumine old enough to see the fall of Khaenri’ah? By then wouldn’t there be enough time for at least one for the sibling to rule? Then how come there’s no mention of it?
Hell there’s even the question of just how Aether could share memories with Lumine. Technically, nothing happened there that would indicate that there’s be like.. something to fuck around with for memories. By all means it’s just a place. Did another event happen here? Was the curse from Caribert just that strong/not as specific? Am I just looking a bit too into this part because let’s be honest they probably just need to drop this lore somehow?
Also, when Chlothar is talking to Caribert on the ledge, he says something along the lines of “remember this is a new place”
Essentially: This is new from what we know, it weird. (Come back here, please)
That either means something was fucky with Sumeru making it fantastical or they just left Khaenri’ah, which is more likely.
Then how long has Dain & Lumine been travling? The ruins of Khaenri’ah are said to be underground around Sumeru, curtesy of Kaeya*.
(*Wait, for the small story Kaeya tells, he say he want to go to Sumeru to learn more of his origins - again, grain of salt for the pathological liar - but that overall implies that he’s never been to the ruins of Khaenri’ah. Of course he could just be lying and as a child he just want to go home, even if said home we’re ruins, but still.)
How recent was the destruction of Khaenri’ah, then? Cause Dain & Lumine are both treating it as if it’s been long - Chlothar says something like “your alias” which implies that Lumine has been using the name “Traveler” during her travels with Dain long enough for it to just become.. well, her deficit alias.
And if Lumine was the Princess of Khaenri’ah, why would she give Chlothar an alias? He clearly has big fuckin stars for his pupils; If the destruction of Khaenri’ah was that recent, why would she be so guarded? Was Alberich suspicious during the reign of Khaenri’ah? But the Alberich clan took over in Irmin’s stead, meaning they were trustworthy and powerful enough to keep an entire kingdom together.
Just how long as is then since Khaenri’ah’s destruction, then? If it’s been long enough to where being weary of another Khaenri’ah is just “expected”, then there’s no reason for Chlothar to remind Caribert about our go Khaenri’ah.
If it hasn’t been to long, then why has Lumine not revealed herself, relieved at the survival and… not-hilichurl-indication of her people? And why do Dain & Lumine treat/talk about their travel, even just in Sumeru, as if it had went on for an long time?
Aaaaaaa-
I’d continue but’s it’s 2 am on a school night (morning) and I have an “out-of-sight, out-of-mind” brain so just. Take this. GN and thanks for asking! :D

an analysis of young royals s2
obviously theirs spoilers so read at your own risk.
i’ll be talking about most of the main characters (august, felice, sara, simon, wilhelm and marcus) and talking about my thoughts about them.
august:
i was really really hoping for a redemption arc. i was hoping he meant what he said about being sorry and feeling bad. but the moment he had the power of potential monarchy near him, he turned. he proved that he is a true villain. he wants power and has no true regard for others.
if he continues to be in this show, i do hope they explore his addiction and eating disorder more.
felice:
top tier character. never did anything wrong. that kiss between her and wilhelm. barely mattered. she handled it like a queen. she is such a good friend to Sara and Wilhelm. i want only the best for her.
i hope to look a bit more at what she enjoys doing that isn’t riding.
Sara:
she’s flawed. they all are. i think my biggest trouble with her was that she knew how much the video hurt Simon and she knew August posted it and she still dated him. on the other hand, i know how it feels to fall in love with someone who makes you happy sometimes and really sad others. so her situation isn’t the easiest. most of the problems she had and others might have with her come from the fact that she was either not informed or just didn’t understand.
i hope we can explore her rebuilding a relationship with felice and the other girls.
marcus:
i really likes marcus at first, i did. but then simon tried to break up with him, telling him he wasn’t ready for a serious relationship yet and marcus just. didn’t let him???? that threw me. and then he’s acting all like simon didn’t genuinely like him and was only using him to get back at willie. he’s a little toxic. but honestly, i think he’s also a flawed person.
i don’t have anything i want to explore with him. i honestly do not care if he continues to be in the show.
simon:
simon goes through a lot. he gets his boundaries violated over and over and he really just wants to be respected in his relationship. i think he also doesn’t fully understand willie’s situation. it’s hard to know what other people are going through. i think he was looking for a specific relationship with willie that was near-unattainable. i love simon to death. he is so amazing and easy to sympathize with.
i would love to explore simon setting firm boundaries with others and maybe seeing a therapist because he’s got somethings to work out between the drama he’s been through with willie, his situation with marcus, and his family.
willie:
willie. i love willie. i have diagnosed gad, undiagnosed adhd, and possible autism. i see myself, especially my anxiety in willie. i see him chewing on the inside of his cheek. he fixes his hair. he’s got acne scars, probably from picking at his skin, just like i do. he doesn’t understand why he can’t handle the same pressure that so many others experience. his anxiety attacks aren’t all always hyperventilating. they can be silent, tearless, but so so clear that he is struggling. i also think he could have adhd or autism (or both).
most of all, i want to talk about how much shit he’s been through. he’s 16. 1 year older than me. he’s a child. a kid. he’s just trying to survive life! and he is traumatized. his brother (the only person he felt like truly understood him) is dead, the most intimate moment of his life is posted on the internet, he is betrayed by almost his entire family, and the person that he loves isn’t willing to be in a secret relationship (no hate to simon btw, he was totally right to set that sort of boundary). my point is, he is traumatized, not receiving help for his mental illness and a fucking teenager. this makes him impulsive and say stupid things and do stupid stuff. he is a flawed character, just like everyone else in this show. he hurts people he is close to. he lashes out with anger.
an interesting thing i’ve found about anxiety is that when things get to overwhelming and something is on your mind, it feels like the only way to get that off you chest is to pick a fight. a small one that doesn’t really matter. because you can’t fight the bigger fight.
in the long run, as mad as everyone may be at august, punishing him isn’t going to do anything. the video is already leaked. the damage is already done. but willie picks fights with him because it’s a battle he can win.
i hope to see willie continue to go to therapy and work through some trauma and also be more open in his communication with simon about his feelings and anxiety.

⚠️tokyo revengers chapter 263 spoilers⚠️
mention: this was made before the release of the chapter
after a while I'm back to discuss about the spoilers because this chapter seems really interesting
I love backstories, especially the ones in tr so of course I had to talk a bit about these spoilers
get ready to listen to my long ass rant also please excuse the possible mistakes I had troubles in writing this sooo
btw the spoilers are not in a specific order
Tumblr media
the title of the chapter is "Be strong" so is kinda easy to assume that it is gonna tell mikey's story
here we have little mikey( he's so adorable ) with a man who is probably his father
now addressing the elephant in the room. yes, as others, I also thought that mikey's dad(?) looks like takemichi. and of course I wasn't the only one and of course people went crazy. and out of this whole mess we have( I think ) two big theories:
the first one and the most controversial one is that mikey's dad might be takemichi's dad. i've seen lots of reactions, some people liking it and thinking that it makes sense and some really being against it
I don't wanna give my opinion about this one bc we don't have enough info and it's too early to assume. I don't think it's a bad theory but it really has some controversial parts as in takemichi almost sleeping with emma ( bc it would make emma and michi related )
the second theory it will be that this man is not mikey's father and that he is in fact takemichi's (which could justify takemichi's curls and looks)
honestly I don't think so just because later on we see mikey with his mom (an ill woman) so I believe that you know while she was at the hospital mikey's father was taking care of him and shinichiro. and this is basically mikey's origin story so it makes more sense for the man to be HIS father. now idk
Tumblr media
this is the spoiler where he appears with his mom
ngl I don't have too much to say about it just that is cute and sad at the same time. mikey was probably talking about his day/how his days went and she seems to be genuinely listening to him😭
i'm so sorry for mikey my baby :(((
Tumblr media
the third spoiler shows us haruchiyo and baji
HARUCHIYO MY BABY LOOK AT HIM HE'S SO ADORABLE I WANNA CRY
the way he smiles🥹🥹 he looks so happy tho I cannot understand why but I really love the vibe he gives off
and his fit is so cute, he looks like a school boy and so elegant and he's letting his hair grow <33(you can tell i'm really happy)
now haruchiyo still has the patches at the corner of his mouth so it means that his scars are STILL NOT HEALED. which just makes me wonder even more: how deep was his injury?
we have baji who looks...shocked? disgusted? worried? I can't tell but this specific panel makes me think about the circumstances of this meeting. I suppose they have met mikey here so... why it looks like they haven't seen each other for a while? and why is that? did they distanced themselves from mikey or did something else happen?
Tumblr media
we have these 2 panels which show us what happened on that day
as you can see mikey doesn't have blood on his hands
this makes me think about a theory that was left behind long time ago but it seems that it is surfacing again in the fandom, the theory about haruchiyo hurting himself. like it really is weird for me that haruchiyo touches his fresh scars. it doesn't make any sense like wouldn't it hurt even more?? like you shouldn't be doing this you can get them infected
my baby is crying but he keeps smiling and I really don't understand anything😭😭
Tumblr media
next spoiler is with mikey and draken my babies(they're my fav duo)
I kinda don't understand what's going on like they also look shocked but why? okay maybe draken was shocked by mikey but mikey?? was he shocked by draken? or what?😭😭
I wonder if here they met with sanzu and baji yk it could make sense but I don't think they are in the same zone? or idk i mean draken,mikey and baji end up going to the same school sooo
anyways I just love how this panel is draken's flashback from when they met for the first time but from mikey's perspective💗
Tumblr media
we have this panel that looks really similar to the one we saw in draken's flashback. here mikey so probably explaining that he can fight and stuff
Tumblr media
we also have a panel of what ppl think baby mikey because that seems to be his blanket
i don't have too much to say about this mikey is probably talking about himself(or the narrator)
Tumblr media
and the last panel(which is not but) with mikey crying bc he lost his mom :(((
I love to see that he is showing emotion
tho I can't get over the fact that he really looks like chifuyu in this XD tho it's kinda clear that is mikey cuz eye color
conclusion: mikey is a natural blondie🥳

Hello hi good evening, I am having some Thoughts and Feelings about the latest midnight chapter and I thought I would share.
First of all: aaaah adkjsahkjahdasjkhd
With that out of the way, some more coherent thoughts.
I love the way the cultural/class differences between Grian and Scar are highlighted in the camping conversation. Just a really good character moment for both of them. And also? Scar knowing about the greenhouse project? Scar knowing specifically because Grian just asked him about his theoretical dream greenhouse? I love them all dearly, they are all gay disasters <3
Scar being like *talks about that time he was ready to sacrifice everything so his son could get home safe* *talks about the times he took his son camping so they could bond* *talks about how he taught himself to cook for his son* and he still doesn't think he compares to his own father? My dude. Scar. I love him so much but pls.
*Taking notes on all of the new fae lore*
I love the sentence "They glimmer with Fairy and firelight, and for a moment Grian isn’t sure if the golden glow is reflection or magic." It's so evocative and such a good use of the third person pov. There's several other examples of that I could mention, this one was just my favourite. I stopped to read it out loud several times over.
Really enjoying how Grian is once again surprised Scar treats him differently now that they're together. Man is really like "wait there's boyfriend in this boyfriend???" Love that for him 😂
Oh and speaking of Grian. Really eyeing the way he always reacts so strongly to fairy lights. It is very Interesting. I mean, definitely fits his character, but I am also always a little suspicious of you and your amazing foreshadowing.
I love love love fae characters being deceptive and cunning and uncanny, and anything that shines a light on how disturbing their suggestion magic can be, so I was eating this whole thing up. Scar getting to be cool and powerful, while the story also makes it very clear that he is still holding back because some things are Too Far. And the fact that he can still be pushed to do it? Yes, amazing, stunning.
On that note, I am also encouraging your writing the Scar's adventure aside, btw. I love how you write Scar doing magic, and how you handle his character in those moments. It's always so evocative.
Lastly? I adore those moments where you can tell that Mumbo and Grian are slowly going from being Tubbo's dad's boyfriends to being his stepdads. The way he complains about them flirting the same way he complains about Scar flirting with them? Good (but also poor kid 😂).
In conclusion: I am once again asking everyone to go and read Midnight.
hgdfjkgfjk <3 I love to hear thoughts and feelings even if I take forever to get to answering them <3
beautiful, eloquent, couldn't say it better myself <3
I absolutely love contrasts, it's so fun to write about them <3 Especially since Scar and Grian were raised in similar yet extremely different environments and just hjgfdhjk The ONLY time Scar isn't oblivious to something is when Grian hopes he will be LMAO. Flirt with him for a couple months and the man won't think "oh gee I think maybe they have feelings for me" but ask him about his theoretical dream greenhouse and "Ah I see what they are doing here" hfdjh
Scar loves his father more than he has ever loved himself </3 He can't see that he is repeating the cycle just as good a father as his was </3
I am always happy to toss out Fae lore. I have a couple more Fae lore points that will come up in the next few stories 👀 Including a Fae story hehe-
I am a poetic bitch and I LOVE writing lines like that <3 I have been known in other fandoms to write lines that wham people so I'm glad to see I can continue that here hehe-
"Wait there's boyfriend in this boyfriend??" WHEEZE jkfgdsjkfgjhsd I cackled at this omg but it's so true. Grian really over here forgetting for a whole minute that Scar will actually respond to him flirting/his advances now because he's allowed to lmaoooj hjkfd
:) Well I mean it DID lead him to getting kidnapped before so uh :)
Hehehe when you really think about it, the suggestion magic all Fae have.... is really quite disturbing. It was used to kidnap people in the past, used to lead people deeper into the woods to never be seen again.... and I am excited that I get to explore the more disturbing and less sorcery-feeling side of Scar's magic now <3 I mean certainly it doesn't mean something that NOW he's started letting his more Fae-ish side take precedence... hmhm I love him <3 something something humanity and human isn't the same something something it's not the how it's the why something something-
hehe how could I not write this :) So he doesn't cast his magic like he usually would in this little fic, he is 100% using Fae tactic here instead of his typical Fae-Sorcery mix, buuuut... hehe-
Stitch and I made a joke about the moment Tubbo realizes he has three dads, not one, but I can't share it because it is MAJOR spoilers. But :) Just know that Tubbo is the last person to realize LMAO but I am having so much fun writing the evolution of their relationship hjkfdg
hhh <3<3<3

sorry for asking 2 questions in one day but I NEED to info dump rq !!!
Batty keeps eating the oozsquitoes, so he keeps mutating, making him incredibly strong. And animalistic. So he goes rabid sometimes:).
I head canon that Karai and her siblings have a secret language of chirps, grunts and hiss’ they use to communicate.
Batty is a good singer, but cannot dance for his life. He will just shuffle awkwardly.
Although Batty would like to be romantic, he’s far too shy to actually do anything like cuddling and heaven forbid a kiss; but he’ll still make a card or two. And maybe some flowers. And maybe some cookies-
He’s a good artist, doing mostly doodles and bad portraits because he’s never been able to explore his talent/passion.
Patrick is incredibly flexible too, being able to catch, hold and even draw with his feet!
Patrick doesn’t use his wings that much so they’re often cramped.
During the winter, all the Hamatos take turns cuddling him and using him as a blanket. Even CJ (Casey Jr.) has gotten in on this trend. As much as Batty wants to complain, he likes to be hugged by everyone.
Patrick is a very mixed sleeper. He will either sprawl himself out (when he’s extremely comfortable or with someone he trusts), or will do the “put in a coffin” pose. But when he’s EXTREMELY comfortable he will do the bat-burrito wrap. (Usually, Karai is in the middle of the wrap.)
Batty is on the spectrum, so he finds it hard to express his emotions. He doesn’t know why he wants to flap his wings and hands around wildly when he sees something that makes him happy, but he doesn’t do it out fear. (Btw; this will be a plot point in a little one shot.)
Patrick is surprisingly good with kids, despite being cold on the outside, he has a real soft spot.
Patrick’s wings act like 2nd hands! But, they’re not useful for actual things.
I think Karai has a scar on her back from a Kraang attack (image below ⬇️)
Tumblr media
Batty, at first, had a huge rip in his wing from being hurt by a Kraang, but Karai patched him up and now he can fly again!
Patrick used his wings to group hug up to 7 people, if we squish.
Patrick can speak 2 languages: English (fluid) and Brazilian (almost fluid). His mother used to speak Brazilian to him, and he gradually learned. unfortunately, he doesn’t have an accent.
I head canon Niccolo as nonverbal, using hand signs and churrs to communicate to his siblings. I also really like the dynamic of mute/nonverbal (nicolo) and the one person that understands them completely (jago).
Patrick, (when he finally learns that maybe stimming isn’t bad), gets whole body wiggles and puffs up.
Textures, but more specifically sounds, is something that really bothers Batty. Like, nails scraping against asphalt is just a big “UGH GET IT AWAY FROM ME” thing. He also gets really itchy when he’s uncomfortable, sleepy or upset.
Patrick’s hair is really unclean. He licks himself on a daily basis, but unfortunately he can’t reach the top of his head, so his hair is always gross. Also, he never really learned self care tactics or how to wash, so that was fun to learn:).
Tamsin basically adopted him immediately. Like, the full “This is my son now, if anything happens to him I’m going to kill everyone in this room and then myself.”
Patrick gets jealous easy! I know, I know, crazy! But, he just can’t help but let the thoughts get to him. (Watch out, Karai, there’s going to be a lot of overprotective snuggling.)
As much as Karai doesn’t see it, Batty thinks she’s absolutely beautiful. Almost always staring at her with adoring eyes. He often gets lost in daydreams and other places.
Once, Batty found a post card from Paris, and that’s all he would dream about for a week. Then Karai came a long and now Karai in Paris is all he could dream about.
Batty is about above average height, stand in around 5” 7’. His wing spans is almost 7 feet, though, only looking smaller because he folds them up very tight.
Batty has literally never eaten food before, like, ever. He’s never tasted anything besides mutant silverfish and leaves.
(Should probably mention for future reference; Batty comes from the Scavengers, a group that hard working tech to sell off to less fortunate people. So, when the resistance in the scavengers come together, Donnie was given a HUGE pile of working tech! iPhones, video cameras, old TVs, remotes and even a Nintendo Switch!)
OKAY FACTS OVER QUESTION TIME🪄
Does the Resistance have a garden? Because you mentioned about how Tamsin was cooking, and more specifically chopping, so that got me wondering.
Did Donnie replicate the Anti-Kraang formula? Because I saw that it’s an “organic-based shield” so I was thinking the blue stuff from the beginning of the movie, Donnie replicated and is continuing to make and give to people across the country.
Is there any fresh water, or do they have to travel to the Great Lakes/ocean to get it?
What Karai look like as a human? Or her brothers turtles?
Do they have working cellphones or do they use radios?
Does Karai have oldest daughter syndrome? I just feel like helping your mom out at such an early age would give Karai some kind of pressure to always watch after her siblings. (Not talking from experience, if that’s what you’re wondering.)
What’s the kids favorite tv show?
Do any of the kids like to draw?
Do they go on missions by themselves to prove that they’re not too young? (Feels like that’s a David thing to do.)
Has Mikey gone full “mystic meditation; dni unless emergency” or is he still part of the group?
Does Leo still blame himself? Do all of them blame themselves?
Anyway, sorry for info dumping, I just needed to tell you!!! And ask some questions since they were on my mind. Don’t forget to drink water and eat food. I will make you eat your veggies if I have too.
-Lord Freg💛💛
My my, you just love making me want to info dump about my AU and ocs and I love you so much for it 👀
AND NOW YOUVE GIVEN ME ACESS TO SO MUCH FLUFF AND ANGST STORIES/ART WITH BATTY??? YES PLEASE 🖐✊️🖐✊️
Had me giggling and kicking my feet with how much Batty likes Karai, my SOUL left my body/pos about the Paris thing
Also, Karai does have scars on her back from a Krang attack! (Hey that rhymes) She got them when she was super little though.
Now, to answer your questions!!
Does the Resistance have a garden? 🌱
Yes! Yes it does! It took a few years to find some way to grow any food I'm the conditions of the apocalypse, but Donnie and Mikey were the ones who were able to discover a way to nourish and keep soil +food alive!
Its also a big greenhouse that I'm trying to think wether is inside the base, or out somewhere, but it's a safer chance for it to be inside lol.
Fun fact: Mikey spends a lot of time in the greenhouse If he's not meditating or practicing his mystic abilities. Niccolo loves hanging out with his favorite uncle (dont tell Leo) in the greenhouse, which is where the boy has grown a huge liking for plants! He likes how he and his uncle can spend time without too much chatter or anything too over stimulating for him, it's just his pace.
Note: you're headcanon of Niccolo is 100% correct! The same goes for Maggie, who usually only communicates with chirps or churrs alike- except she doesnt know how to talk.
She has a hard time grasping how to speak, and just gets her little mind stressed put if she doesn't get it right, so she keeps to herself with different ways of communicating.
Did Donnie Replicate The Anti-Krang Formula? 🔋
As a matter of fact, yes he did! Well-kind of.
We know the movie, April steals some of the plant killing stuff, and in the original timeline, she probably showed it to someone, specifically Donnie.
I feel whilst trying, and failing to figure anything put for this sheild, Donnie is near ready to give up until April shows him something she's had on her for a while.
She carried the smallest- and I mean smallest vile of the blue substance, around her neck, she'd always had it just in case since that little of it could knock out Prime krang if she wanted it to.
So, with that to work off of, Donnie got to studying and crafting!
Is There Any Fresh Water? 💦
Sadly no, they do have to travel to get most of it, which is only a weekend trip that either Raph and Mikey go do, seeing they can carry tons of water supply back with them, but that doesn't make it any less tricky...
What Karai Look Like As A Human? Or Her Brothers Turtles? 🐢
I actually have a pic of Karai human! Still have to draw the brothers... But if imma be honest the boys would probabl all lookthe same 😅minus different colored markings.
Do They Have Working Cellphones? 🌐
Nope! All cellular towers and such were brought down by the krang. They do communicate via radios, Donnies tech wristbands, and like, you know those hologram things in StarWars? Kinda like that if they need to call someone.
Im also gonna answer the Kids Fav TV show question while we're here too.
Since there's no internet and such, they're reduced to either shows Donnie has saved on tapes, or VHS Splinter had kept over the years. (Thank Heavens he kept that old VHS player 🙏)
Their favorite shows range from like-3 episodes of Bluey to Black Cauldron on VHS LMAO.
Does Karai Have Oldest Daughter Syndrome?💝
Afraid so, it's obvious it was bound to happen when she was told help out her mom while Donnie was gone... And she may have taken that a bit too close to heart.
In fact, Tam or Don never pressured the 'Eldest Daughter' idea on Karai, her thinking she was supposed to be the oldest, supposed to be the one who handled all her siblings. Even when Donnie came home, she's just a bit ancy to help put in any way, feeling like she's useless if she doesn't.
Do Any Of The Kids Like To Draw? 🖋
Oh definetly! I think David and Niccolo enjoy it more than others since they can express themselves through it more.
Do They Go On Missions Themselves?🏕
When their older? Yes. At their age now? Absolutely not on Donnies watch. He watches them like a hawk if they decide to go rogue without him or any adult watching them.
They have gone with their dad or mom to like- visit other bases, or even go with their uncles for trading, water, or supply-but NEVER by themselves.
David has tried but he always gets caught... Same goes for Karai.
Has Mikey gone full “mystic meditation; dni unless emergency” 🤔
If this question takes place after Donnie has gone, yes. Rarely is he ever seen out of his room-only popping here and there to say hello and check in, but that's like-only once every two months.
Niccolo misses his uncle, and he cries a lot about it, so much so Tam has to find the boy leaning against his uncles door in tears, it breaks her heart.
Does Leo still blame himself? Do all of them blame themselves? 💔
Can you even call it a ROTTMNT AU if their isn't any Leo angst? Lol but seriously, yes, they allblame themselves for the invasion, Leo the most.
A lot of them blame themselves for many things during the apocalypse too, Donnie blames himself for Karais Krang injury, Mikey for a mission gone wrong, where he couldn't save a labor camp, Raph for feeling like he's falling the older brother role- a lot of angst coming yalls way.
And I think that's all of them! TYSM for the asks I loved exploring into some of my Future AU stuff! Especially the guys since I haven't done much to dig deeper in their characters :]

Hi! I hope you're having a great day! About the writing ask, I'd LOVE to know 4, 6, 18, 27, 40 (I just started reading your works btw, so I'm adding my own questions that you are absolutely free to ignore if it's annoying: do you have a favorite piece of your writing? Which one is it and why?
Have a wonderful week and take care 😊
Hi! I hope you're having a great day too 💖 It's not annoying, don't worry about <3 I'll answer that question firstly
Do you have a favorite piece of your writing? Which one is it and why?
This question is certainly difficult, since I have a special affection for each and every one of my pieces. I also think of them as the moments in which I wrote them, specifically the places and what was my emotional state.
Ephemere is very special to me, and I love how the character development is turning out. How Rindou tries to get out of a depression thanks to his brother and Sanzu, how Sanzu tries to fulfill his dream of being a dancer when the world seems ready to throw him away.
Loving Kabukichō is depressive from the start. I remember writing the foreword at four in the morning while crying lmao, and I've cried more times while writing. In the end, they're two broken kids trying to survive until they meet, and things just aren't getting better.
However, I'll be talking about something shorter and I think I'll choose Redamancy, since I wrote it recently. And I'll talk about it too in question 18, as I also chose Redamancy.
I just love writing about Sanzu as a broken and lonely person, everyone's second choice, the dog that is only good for barking. Sanzu, who is completely losing control with drugs, who doesn't even have friends or hobbies. Sanzu, who thinks he doesn't deserve a petty touch, yet yearns for Rindou's warmth and has a visceral fear of being abandoned.
On the other side is Rindou. Rindou, who gives him the drugs because he doesn't want him to buy from someone else because of the danger that they could be altered doses or scams. Rindou, who sees how Sanzu loses himself to the point of not remembering anything the next morning. Rindou, who loves Sanzu, the thin, empty shell that he sees every day and the real Sanzu.
I loved the result and I will turn it into a series called “You don't even have to love me back” <33
4. What’s a word that makes you go absolutely feral?
Welcome to what I call "phonetically pleasing words" Sounds weird I know 😭
A while ago I always used "idiosyncrasy" in all my papers and exhibitions both in high school and university. I always found a way to fit it into whatever I was doing. It's a nice word and it sounds good. I made it almost my personal stamp. A project of mine wasn't a project of mine if it didn't have that word in it. It drove me crazy lmao
There are names that I also find phonetically pleasant, precious. Like Haruchiyo. It just feels good to be pronounced 😭 I've never met someone who had this thing about words.
6. What is your darkest fear about writing?
Not being able to do it anymore. Writing is the only way I have to express myself and my biggest hobby. I don't understand a world without writing, therefore being unable to continue writing in one way or another is something that terrifies me deeply.
18. Choose a passage from your writing. Tell me about the backstory of this moment. How you came up with it, how it changed from start to end.
Redamancy, again <3. To have a bit of context. They're both in the shower in what is supposed to be a romantic moment.
He squeezed those rosy cheeks, smiling. Rindou grabbed his wrist to pull him away and held his chin, touching the tip of his nose with his own. He kissed the corners of his lips, where diamond scars marked his presence on young skin. It could have been a romantic moment.
A stab of pain shot through Sanzu's stomach. He shrugged slightly, sighing an insult and pushing Rindou away, placing his hand on the center of his chest.
"Wait…" he muttered, flinging open the partition.
Droplets of water slid from his body to the ground. He almost slipped off the soft rectangle that was the rug, and sank to his knees in front of the toilet, retching at the same time. The marble lid slammed against the cistern and Sanzu held his belly, spasming a couple of times.
He threw up everything inside in front of Rindou's blank stare. He felt so fucking embarrassed, naked and pathetically miserable, on the damp floor of his bathroom. Mixing alcohol and pills he hadn't even read the type about hadn't been a good idea.
"Were you high?" Rindou whispered, with a small voice. He stopped the water and grabbed a couple of towels.
Sanzu shivered, panting pasty strings of vomit which he spat out with something akin to contempt.
This scene didn't change much when I wrote it because I was clear about what I wanted and how. Where do I begin?
Sanzu hates himself so much. This scene takes place after he screwed up in a meeting with Manjiro and Kakucho, precisely the reason for having been distracted there is the side effects of the drugs, the damage that is being done to the brain and that affects him when sober.
After the meeting, the first thing he does is mix drugs and alcohol, a bad decision. He needs it, he can't help it. He hates himself for being useless at work, for ruining his time with Rindou. That "were you high?" it's important to them. It just makes Sanzu feel like a piece of shit again and Rindou feel horrified.
The whole oneshot is Sanzu feeling like a piece of shit, yeah :(
27. Who is the most stressful character you’ve ever written? Why?
So this question was repeated in another ask so I'll say the same <3
I won't say that writing them stresses me out, but I would be anxious to be with them if they were real people.
The first is Ran from Ephemere, who has a big problem with internalized homophobia and often treats his boyfriend badly almost without realizing it.
The second one is from a fic that I haven't published in English yet. Let's say I first write in my mother tongue and then translate it. It's from a Drakenui in which Seishu has an ED that he has dragged through without going to therapy since his childhood. He's a boy obsessed with the idea of ​​perfection, as he has grown up watching his sister Akane (who also had ED) trying to please boys by being perfect, also his family. After Akane's death, Seishu does the exact same thing, not only does he develop ED, but he starts hanging out with guys to heal his emotional emptiness, guys who treat him like crap the way they treated his sister.
40. Please share a poem with me, I need it.
I haven't written poetry in years, so I'll put up a Bécquer poem that never fails to inspire me to write <3
Rhyme LXVI
From where do I come...? Seek the most horrible
and rugged of paths:
the tracks of bloody feet
on the hard rock,
the scraps of a soul completely shredded
by sharp brambles
they will tell you the way
that leads to my cradle.
To where do I go...? Across the most shadowy
and sad of deserts,
valley of eternal snow and of eternal
melancholy mist.
Where there is one solitary stone
without any inscription,
where forgetfulness dwells,
there will be my tomb.

I’m currently thinking about a time traveler Whumpee (we’ll call him V) who did very VERY bad things in the past (like, nearly world ending bad things) and has joined a time protecting organization to try to fix it
(Btw this is Pokémon except I don’t really know much about canon bc I’m still working on getting all the games played and I’m also adding tons of my own stuff, just absolutely making tons of shit up, also most of the Pokémon understand human speech and some can speak it sort of vibe. Also if you know who this is about no you don’t, there’s only like 1 canon character in here)
Anyway, V didn’t know what he was doing at the time, but he almost broke spacetime and almost everyone at the organization hates him over it- in fact, pretty much everyone wants him dead over it, because he single-handedly created a MASSIVE problem that they’ve spent a LONG time trying to fix. The only reason he’s alive is one (1) member of management saw his skills in research and stuff and was like “hey wait stop we should offer him a position in tracking down other time criminals”
So he’s left scared and pretty much fending for himself here, and the guy he’s put under (E) takes him under his wing.
But here’s the thing: there’s a couple people at this organization who DON’T want to hurt V. But V doesn’t know this bc E is playing into his fears to keep him kind of isolated, telling him everyone else here is out to get him, yadda yadda, and then he’s turning around and telling everyone else V is still not a great person
And V wants to fix things, he really does, and he’s trying REALLY HARD to fix things but everyone still looks at him like he’s a criminal and he doesn’t know why because he’s helped stop a LOT of bad things now, but the people that WERE kind to him avoid him by now and the rest still hate him and E’s treatment of him is getting worse
V is smart though, and he eventually figures it out. But by the time he does, nobody will ever believe him, because everyone thinks he’s a manipulator. A liar.
And that’s when things get worse. Because E knows he can get away with just about anything now.
Thinking about E getting a little careless with how he hurts V. Usually he keeps things where they’ll be hidden, but one day, something incriminating is just a little too visible, and management brings V in to talk and he doesn’t want to because he knows these people aren’t going to believe him bc E is pretty high up in the agency and he doesn’t want to make things worse for himself, but it’s the one person on management that likes him (we’ll call him A) and A eventually convinces V to show him the scars
And A is like “…oh shit. Who did this?” And V decides to tell the truth because there’s no point lying at this point, the word liar is etched into his skin a thousand times over, A’s not going to believe a single word, right? Besides, it’s not like E will hear about this.
Well, A listens and E gets fired and V gets put in his rank bc V’s actually one of the best members of the team he was put on, much to his surprise. And things get better, and people start getting used to V and he even gets a few friends
But one day while V is out on a job stopping a time loop or something E is there and he like almost dies
And the agency realizes E wasn’t supposed to be in that time loop. E found a way to travel through time without the agency’s tech.
So once V heals up, he gets sent after E, because E’s been capturing legendaries and stuff from a bunch of different times and just fucking shit up and yeah it’s a whole thing
V goes to a specific time and ends up meeting one of the people who stopped him (C) and C is really suspicious of him at first but when V explains the situation C is like “..oh” and decides to help him out and they team up
Well, V finds E and it starts a big fight and E throws C off a cliff and almost kills V but C is OT human and he survived and climbed his way back up and just straight up kills E (accidentally on purpose) and he rushes V to the hospital
And V’s just. So done at this point, with the agency and with time travel and with everything so he’s like “can I just stay with you I won’t cause any trouble” and C’s like “yeah sure” and they live together domestically now and it’s cute
……anyway uh. Yeh. This started as me trying to figure out how exactly I could write a redemption arc for V and it turned into a (realizing everyone hates him/realizing why/hating himself over it/letting himself be hurt over it/realizing that’s Not Good but not having anywhere to go/finally making it out/trying to actually fix everything/managing to fix things/being tired of being hurt and finally finding peace) arc, and. God.
Currently I have three different hyperfixations going, and it’s Pokémon, Adventure Time, and Epithet Erased is sitting on the back burner but has never really left (speaking of epithet erased Giovanni Potage is really REALLY gender). So. Help.
Btw uh. Like. Are people going to judge me if I? Start talking about who the specific characters I’m talking about are?? Haha I know probably no, I’m just Worried. Uuuuhh anyway yeah that’s the entire plot for a thing I want to write at some point when I finish another thing I’m already writing so uh. Yay
