Hello! I hope you are doing well, I have an idea, feel free to ignore but I hope you like it.

Yandere Male Deliquent x GN Ex Bully

Like he tried to make them explode and being their “true self”, because in the past, when they were younger, they defend him and he became a delinquent just to see them again.

Sorry if my English is bad.

Bye!

YAN! DELINQUENT OC x GN! EX BULLY! READER

Also your English great anon! Dw about it.

AAAAAAA I’ve meaning to do more Yan! Delinquent recently anon!! You read my mind. For those new to my account. I already have a Yan! Delinquent OC named Mori Ban (see tag: hns.moriban) who was the first to really blow up from my yan! ocs. I always loved this trope with yan stories hhh

tw/cw: DDNE, mention extreme bullying, assault, and harassment. (brought out my trauma for this one). i imagine reader to be amab/masc for this one but there are no explicits allusions to that.

Uttering the name [L/N] [Y/N] was enough to strike fear in the hearts of men. Literally and figuratively speaking, your voice was enough to make even the highest of authorities piss their pants. Not only were you capable of destroying a person’s physical body with your very own hands, you were able to dismantle everything from their relationships and reputation to their financial situations in life.

People predicted you to grow up and become an even more menacing, ruthless person. You had the potential, and with the way you were it was simply the natural trajectory.

But like you always did, you broke everyone’s expectations.

You were like the delinquent version Serena Van Der Woodsen. Mindlessly strutting in as if you hadn’t put several companies to bankruptcy because the owner’s kid looked at you the wrong way. Nonchalantly eating your lunch in the same vicinity of your old victims as if you hadn’t shoved their face into the toilet as a way to pass time. Cheerfully waving at the student council president as if you hadn’t constantly blackmailed and assaulted them for several years just so they’d do your homework and projects. No one was safe from you. You had no code. As long as you felt like it, any life could be destroyed.

Standing opposite to your current path was Mori.

He used to be the punching bag of your lesser goons. Known for being weak and poor, only good for his academic excellence.

He grew up to be almost as fearsome than you. Where-areas you were coldblooded, revelling in the pain you brought upon others. He was a lot more morally guided. Sure, his enemies often suffered worse fates physically, but he wasn’t like you in the way he picked his battles. He only brought hell to those that deserved it. Those that hurt other people first.

And then there was the way he treated you.

You technically belonged to the category he dealt with. You ruined dozens, maybe even hundreds or thousands of lives in a whim. You were the devil in a pretty suit of skin. Despite your lack of hostility nowadays, you never apologised or took accountability, never attempted to atone for your mistakes. The only reason why others haven’t confronted you about it was because of fear. They didn’t want to potentially anger you and set off a bomb.

But Mori? Mori could handle you.

After all, he dedicated his whole life to being your equal; serving you, aiding you.

In fact, he was just so disappointed to see you this way. All disgustingly docile and horridly disciplined. What kind of monster tamed you to be like this? Mori chuckled at the thought. No one but him can match you. You must have started behaving yourself for the sake of appearance. All of this was just a façade. If you had truly changed you would have begged for forgiveness to those you’ve wronged. If you had become a better person then you wouldn’t be discreetly glaring at him when you thought he wasn’t looking.

If someone had truly taught you to be a goody-two-shoes he would have killed them ages ago.

“Hey, [N/N]. Sweetheart. How ya doin?” Mori leaned forward. He grew to be quite a ways taller than you and had to lean over to meet you face to face. Much to your chagrin.

“Fine. It’s so nice of you to ask Ban. If you’ll excuse me.” You adeptly moved to the side. You had dealt with this man-child several times throughout the semester already and knew to just avoid him at all costs lest you lose braincells and precious energy talking to him.

However, you could only take two steps before his hands grappled unto your wrist.

“Woah woah woah there. We’re not done yet.”

You don’t look back, and firmly yet calmly stated, “Yes, we are.”

“It’s a little late but we have yet to give you a homecoming party. That wouldn’t be fair for the great [Y/N].”

You turned back. Eyes wide, not of surprise or anger, but from sheer awe of this man’s audacity.

“I know what you want, and you’re not getting it from me right now.” You scowled at his beautiful pink eyes and effortlessly yanked your arm away from him. You didn’t know it yet back then,

but you had already lit the match.

i swear, i WAS going to leave you alone for the rest of the day. I thought 'oh no, you've bothered them enough for the day, wait until tomorrow' (they did not, in fact, wait until tomorrow) however i had thoughts and wanted to share them with you! 😊

concept: I was scrolling through some of your previous posts for a second time today (still all very cool and awesome btw) and the one about the reader saying swear words without knowing what they are kinda stuck with me.

So lets reverse it! You, the creator, fall into teyvat and CAN speak the common language there, while also still remembering your own native language. and so your native tongue becomes super holy to them (eg. 'omg, the creator is speaking in their holy tongue, lets all listen and nod')

Unfortunately, this has its drawbacks, especially because the majority of the times you speak in your native tongue you are cussing out everyone.

3 potential scenarios have stemmed from my brain because of this.

You getting annoyed at your worshippers and yelling at them, then afterwards they all thank you for blessing them

Swearing so often that the people around you start to pick up on the words and now all of your worshippers are parroting swear words at really important events, while you try and keep a straight face

Accidently teaching one of the kids swear words and then klee starts saying 'fuck' all the time and the adults are all like 'thank you for teaching klee one of your divine words, it truly is a blessing. what does it mean though?' and you're just sitting there like 😅

also thanks for being so nice about my shenhe post :) i love her so much <33

NOO dont worry abt it!! Ill just answer whenever i got the time!! I definitely dont mind multiple asks from the same person dw bby 👍✨️

Here, a cookie for ur time 🤲🍪 PSPSPSSPSPS ITS WORKING THEIR COMING IN, I ALSO HAVE CAKE AND DRINKS!! :D

So this is gonna sound demanding,, BUT SHARE YOUR CONCEPTS AND IDEAS WITH ME ALWAYS YES YES I WANT TO BE THE FIRST TO SEE IT YALL R FEEDING MY SOULLL 🛐

This reverse is so much funnier than the OG way, you have such a BIG BRAIN👏👏

Those scenarios had me fucking laughing my ass off, the BLESSING THEM 😭KLEE 😭 PLEASE-

Also this might be ass writing bc I can’t get rid of my headache rn :/

___________

Look what you've done.

It was so harmless at first, teaching Amber a word or two there bc she was curious abt ur accent,

The reveal that Teyvat's language wasn't your native language.

But that was still manageable, that was still okay

From Amber, to Eula, to Venti, to Kaeya, to Rosaria, to Diluc, to Jean, that information spread slowly but surely

After all, you didn't use it often, no one here in Teyvat even vaguely recognized it (not even a vague similarity from one of the other countries even)

It wasn't like,, shocking to the majority of Mondstadt's residents that you had a different native lang. (nor any of the other countries once they realized you were here, and had a diff native lang.)

I mean, you were the Creator,

why wouldn't there be some ancient powerful holy lang. that only you (or along with some lucky priest/vessel/follower) could understand?

.

..

However, it did become a problem when you, as the human experience dictates, got irritated 

You see, Teyvat isn’t an easy world to get used to, from the elemental reactions, the huge amount of hostile/active flora and fauna, there was a lot of room (even as favored as you were as the Creator) for accidents

You had already had a few mishaps, asking the waiter to bring you some salt bc ur table didnt have any on accident, bumping into the allogenes who wanted to walk around with you that day when they stopped abruptly

...

But now you can confidently say you can pinpoint the inciting incident in hindsight.

You had been traversing Liyue, and of course, it’s very rocky, even the well beaten paths outside Liyue Harbor were littered with pebbles and stones

So bc theyre respectful sweethearts, Shenhe, Xiao, Zhongli, Ganyu and the rest of the Adepti wnated to have a calm brunch at Cloud Retainer’s Abode w/ u <3

On the way up, bc u insisted normal walking was fine- no Xiao you want to see the sights teleportation isn’t necessary right now- nO Shenhe, really, the walk will be good for you, you don’t need to be carried-

Zhongli. 

You are supposed to be a mortal these days, not a 60 meter/feet long dragon- 

WHAM (u were so busy telling them to quit it that u werent watching ur path, aint none of their thousands of years old reflexes good enough to save u from being a clumsy fuck)

and your on ur ass.

“Fuck, ow,” immediately Shenhe has swept you up, Ganyu is rambling nervously, Xiao jumped but hasn’t said anything, but you can feel his worry from how tense he is, Zhongli’s hands are hovering, unsure if he should touch, and Shenhe- Shenhe- you can’t breathe- 

“Fuck guys stop, I’m fine-”

They;re eyes widen, Zhongli looks a little happier?? wtf all u did was-

oh no.

...

Now, everytime you have dinner with any of the Liyue characters they bow their heads, and in unison “Fuck guys stop I’m fine”

...

And it just got worse.

Bc you spent a few weeks in Liyue, and you had a lot of events to attend, little incidents like this happened everywhere

“Shit!” you drop a tea cup

“Damnit” some miner guy in town dropped his pickaxe loudly

You blame Zhongli and Ningguang.

Fuckers wanted to make sure they showed you utmost respect, so they both remembered every. single. word. of your language you have ever said around them.

Between Zhongli’s memory and elegant appearance, and Ningguang’s influence, your cuss words spread overnight

Families are now sitting around their dinner and thanking you for Teyvat’s bounty of food, “Thank you Creator for our meal, fuck guys stop I’m fine.” the kids and everything 💀

Liyue literally has become the most dirty mouthed city overnight, and they look SO PROUD OF IT  😭 😭

u never telll any of them LMAO

It’s a little rough, but I hope u got smth nice outta this, ur idea was so good I didn’t even wanna add anything but I wanted to show my appreciation for sharing those with me lol 

TYSM FOR SHOWING UP AGAIN!!

Cheers,

🌒🌊🌧Aquarius♒️🌌🌘

Having a child, with his own blood running through your veins, you being the spitting image of him- Was the last thing Xiao could ever imagine ever happening to him.

It’s understandable that he was really shocked to know you are his. Xiao is, after all, the Conqueror Of Demons. He is more than used to being in battle, always being on high alert and ready to slash any enemy down since it isone of his duties as the Vigilant Yaksha who protects Liyue.

Xiao was very cautious around you. With your small and fragile body, he feared that even touching you was enough to kill you. The Wangshu Inn keeper had to teach him ‘how’ to hold you because Xiao’s fear of holding you might just make him stay ten feet away from you at all costs.

He watches over you from afar, always ready to strike at whatever dares to bring you harm.

Though, most of the time, the yaksha is always leaving you to Verr Goldet’s care so he can fulfill his duties. It was fine at first- Until Verr had to talk to Xiao about it. He told him that he shouldn’t be too focused  on that job. 

She told him the possibilities of his constant negligence of you, she told him you might grow “Deprived From Fatherly Affection”. Xiao was shocked of course, he didn’t really know that. 

He felt guilty, he was so blinded by not wanting to inflict any form of harm on you, he didnt expect that it’ll inevitably lead you to growing some unwanted mindsets and habits.

Xiao isn’t really one for affection, there’s no need to explain that. Majority of his skills are more on the ‘slaughter’ and ‘exorcise’ expertise.

Regardless, he is not just a protector of Liyue now, he is a ‘father’ now. Specifically your father. This new responsibility isn’t something he will run away from.

Don’t expect much from him though. Xiao is still hesitant to some extent, he’s trying to figure out how he will interact with you.

 Unlike him, you’re fragile. More fragile than glass. He’s afraid of exerting accidental force that will lead him to hurting you. You’re just too small- so small can’t even reach pass his knees(Please this yaksha is just overthinking too much)

Baby steps, that’s what he’ll do. Slow and steady so he wont be too overwhelmed.

He starts off by simply talking to you, maybe even playing with you for a bit with enough begging. Xiao slowly got used to handling you as time went by. Verr was even suprised at one point when she saw Xiao handling you during your tantrums. 

Xiao made good progress with you. He didnt even know that he was unconciously getting attached to you, he didnt know that he adored your presence. He didn’t realize that he gets a little frustrated when he needs to leave you behind. Xiao developed his ‘father instincts’ to such a level to the point that he sometimes wished his Yaksha responsibilties were less demanding.

When you are trouled with nightmares- Xiao will put some stuff to wardoff evil. Though, he also heard that child mortals are more effectively comfoted if they are sung a lullaby, so he’ll do that. Just... Don’t tell anyone else or that will be your last (maybe)

The immortal sometimes even comes home with new clothes since he knew that children grow and he wouldn’t want to see you struggling with the small fit ofyour clothing. He also makes sure to put some spells on them too to ward off evil.

 Xiao unconciously spoils you, his mind always drifting; ‘Maybe they’ll like something like that. Mortal children I’ve seen are fond of those stuff’.  Naturally, he’ll make a way to afford that small gift for you. If he cant, then he’ll just learn how to make it himself.

He loves you, he just doesnt know how to convey that. Being an adepti, being raised as a machine for war- Love wasn’t something he is great at. But even if it’s that, he’ll still strive for you secretly. Xiao will no doubt make the most descreet efforts to adore you. He still doubts himself even after all the progress he’s made in becoming close to you.

“Silk Flowers!” You squeel in delight as you spotted a bouquet of it from afar. You dash off from Xiao’s side, making the adepti startled and call out your name.

But still you were a child, of course you just kept running and running until the ground beneath you rumbled at what seems like caused from footsteps. Your feet wobbled and almost knocked you off of your feeting. Then it stopped, a huge shadow looming over your small figure. You look up only to have the color of your face drained.

“D-Daddy!” You cried out in absolute horror, falling down to the ground. You were terrified, how could you not? Monsters were real, and one of those monsters was about to murder you in cold blood. “Daddy! Help!”

Just at the beast was about to swing it’s flaming axe towards you- The  wind shifted, as if slicing through the air and knocking back the mitachurl.

“How dare such filthy demon dare to even make their presence in front of my child, let alone even dare to strike!” Xiao growled, his eyes flaming gold from raw fury as he walked with the air dancing violently around him. “ I’ll make you pay”

Xiao’s voice was flooded with resentment, his primodial jade radiated as it felt it’s master’s sudden abundance in power. He spun it as his Yaksha mask formed in his face. At the roar of the enemy, Xiao leapt forward, striking the demon in overwhelming speed. He moved so fast it’s too the point the mitachurl wasn’t given any chance to react. But was it done? No, not even a little bit. That demon frightened you to the point your voice faltered in calling him. He has seen you in tears but never to this extent. Xiao was fuming as he plunged down, his anemo spears stabbing the enemy with no hint of sympathy. 

When he finally finished the kill, Xiao’s mask disintegrated and immediately walked to your crying state. He clicked his tounge, feeling a huge pang in his heart as he saw you this disheveled.

“Da-daddy!” You wailed, reaching your arms out for him desperately as your tears clouded your eyes. “Waah!”

He wanted to scold you, he really did. But the sight of you crying like this made the words stuck in his throat. Xiao instead lifted you in his arms, letting you bury your face on the crook of his neck and sob freely. You soaked his shoulder and Xiao didn’t complain, he just rubbed your back to let you know he is there.

“Does anywhere hurt?” His nonlachant voice rung in your ears softly, stealing your attention. “If there is, better tell me now or those wounds will cause  further damage in you.”

“[Y-y/n] is bad.” You hicupped. “[Y/N] is so bad daddy is now ou-ouchie. Daddy now hates [Y-Y/N]”

“Hate? You mortals have odd ways of thinking” Xiao sounded a little rough, making you flinch. “Don’t be ridiculous, I would never bear such hostility towards you. Moreover, I’m not hurt. I’ve lived for thousands of years, pain is something minimal for an adepti such as myself.”

He scoffed.

“On the other hand, your life is counted by only one hand. You have yet to experience what life will truly bring you.” Xiao’s voice started to soften bit by bit as he softly squeezes your small body towards him more “However, I am your father. If darkness decides to crawl at your feet and even when you are frigthened of what’s ahead- Call out my name. I’ll always be there.”

“Da-daddy promises?” You look up to stare at his amber orb. “Daddy will make monsters go bye-bye?”

“Yes” He simply answered. “Now stop your noisy crying, we’re going back to eat.”

He appears cold, his way of talking always straight to the point, but still he loves you. Adeptus Xiao, the guardian yaksha, his power will not simply be used in order to slaughter the darkness creeping around Liyue. With his Vision and might as Alatus, the Golden-Winged King,... He will protect you at all costs and raise you no matter how he is troubled regarding his difficulty in making much of emotions.

You are one his greatest gifts, a treasure he will sincerely hold in his heart forevermore. It doesn’t matter if his karmic binds attack him, he will venture out of it for you. 

A/N: AIGHHTT AAAA ITS MY FIRST TIME WRITTING FOR XIAO HNNN, Did I do good??? AAAA I DUNNO AHDKSGF. I hope you all liked it hngghhhh ;___; Also I’m sorry for being inactive a lot AAAAA, school is starting to get mre and more demanding. I have more hcs upcoming so dw!

[castlesinchaos]

I thought about making a separate tumblr for my current minecraft/dream smp hyperfixation, but then I remembered that I have shamelessly pumped superwholock/X-men/literally-any-obsession-I’ve-ever-had-regardless-of-time-spent-obsessing onto this blog since fuckin 2013 and the only thing that makes this one different is the fact that I’m not letting myself enjoy it unapologetically. :-/

Edit: I was going to leave it at that but I think I’m going to elaborate actually.

The biggest difference between the mcyt community, and all of the other fandoms/communities I’ve been a part of for so long is how old the communities themselves are, as well as the average age of the people in those fandoms. And in a lot of cases that’s what makes the dsmp/mcyt more toxic most of the time, especially (recently) for girls. Let me explain.

The minecraft YouTube community is obviously not a brand new thing. There’s creators like Grian, Mumbo Jumbo, even old server players like Tobuscus, hermit craft etc. But the thing about the Dream SMP community specifically, is that DSMP only got popular in the last year or so. Specifically, over quarantine the server grew exponentially, as did its fan base. This fan base, tends to be younger people (I’m talkin 14 and under), and is predominantly male for the majority of the content creators (especially for the “largest” creators on the server (ie, Dream, Tommy etc).

Now, I’m not saying this growth is bad. It absolutely is not, the creators have put in time and effort and care and it shows in the way they engage with their communities, in the way they put out for us, the way they have tried to create a safe space for their fans. But the problem with quick and exponential growth in a young fandom ESPECIALLY when that fandom consists of pretty young fans, is that a large part of that community is going to have little to no previous experience in a large fandom. (Now, this has much harsher consequences and can lead to a lot of risk for young fans who don’t necessarily realize the need the protect their identity/personal life from potential community predators, but that’s a post for another time), but the biggest consequence I see and experience from this sort of situation is fans not knowing/understanding what is acceptable in the fan space and the repercussions of their actions.

I’m talking specifically, in what tends to be male members of the community, the use of slurs or offensive language constantly, berating other fans who do x y or z (ie, people who only watch Dream for his speed runs/YouTube videos berating people who only watch him for DSMP/lore or Vice versa), more specific to the gaming community but male viewers not respecting or validating female content creators (don’t even get me started on the way Hannah, Niki and Puffy are treated and viewed by some fans), AND MOST IMPORTNATNTLY: toxicity surrounding how the fanbase engages or participates in the community. most of this happens inadvertently or without realization from the fans doing it.

This creates a VERY tense relationship both between female and male (and NB fans because there is a large portion of the NB community who watches mcyt/dsmp), and young and old fans. Women feel like they’re not welcome in the community, they are shamed for watching and participating in the communities, they are belittled and shamed for art/writing/any contribution to the fan base they make and at the end of the day it can be a VERY hostile place for female/NB fans.

Young fans don’t have a good example of how to act or respect (both content creators and fans) boundaries, they tend to be adverse to education on the things that they’re doing wrong, and often they will continue to behave as they do until someone they respect addresses their behavior. And the problem with a predominantly young fandom, is there isn’t a whole lot of older fans to do that correcting, and when there is young fans tend to have alienated them already and therefore don’t necessarily respect them.

I also want to address that I’m not saying this is only the case for the mcyt/dsmp community/fandom. I’m just saying the conditions that created the community (short timeframe, exponential growth, predominantly young and male audience) has contributed to current state of the community. Other fandoms also had periods like this, the main difference, and where it becomes more personal for me, is that these periods of growth and toxicity happened YEARS ago, and the community as well as the people who engage in it has “grown up” a bit, so to speak. When you look at shows like Doctor Who and Supernatural and Sherlock, those shows have all been going on for 10-15+ years and the fanbase has also grown with it, overall becoming a more welcoming place and a place where fan created content is appreciated by a lot of the fanbase. (It’s also important to note a key difference here between the physical consumption of mcyt/dsmp and traditional shows like DW/Sherlock/SPN, with the latter there’s a consistent hiatus that allowed for a huge influx of fan created content like art/writing/theories. A lot of the fan base came to rely on this content to fill the time until the “canon” returned. and in doing so that put a higher appreciation on fan content and creators (which tended to be predominantly female ((something that is also common for the dsmp community)), which overall contributed to the destigmatization and toxicity surrounding fan content.)

At the end of the day I’m not saying mcyt communities or the Dream SMP community is all bad, or even irrepairable. I am saying that as a female and LGBTQIA fan, I have inadvertently internalized some of the ultra toxic sentiment surrounding participation in things like fan art, fan theories, and general fan engagement, and I want to be comfortable sharing these things that interest me and keep me engaged in the community on my blog that I’ve had for 8 years with the same shameless enjoyment that I’ve lent to other fandoms, and I think we can get to that point, it’s just gunna take some self realization from the community. Thank you for coming to my ted talk :)

[attollogame]

sometimes it is a very sad thing to be human and longing for dw pleeease

Once, he used to believe that Sysba was the devil. He doesn’t know what prompted that view, but it’s one that he’s held since he met the man. Perhaps it was the many years he spent under the hold of a religion, the hum of sermons filling his ears like a choir of cicadas, that influenced his thoughts. Perhaps it was the smile that Sysba wore when his gaze raked over Dreamwalkers form as he stood at the door, barely holding himself together under the pressure of all the attention. 

Or perhaps it was when Sysba found him during his first break. 

In the classes he attended growing up, the devil always did approach you at your weakest. 

The memories of that encounter still remain vivid in his mind. 

----

Clouds blot out what little sunlight may have broken through the barriers that day. There’s a thick blanket of snow, which is only being added to by the flakes lazily falling from the sky. He’s sitting in the courtyard on the bench beneath the statue. He feels its eyes looking down at him with superficial pity, carved in its cold, grey face that’s only slightly concealed by winter's touch. His body has grown numb, but not because of the cold air. The tears frozen to his cheeks are evidence enough of this. 

It’s silent, the kind of silence that only freshly fallen snow can bring. 

Then, it isn’t. 

He can’t recall when Sysba arrives. He hears no crunching of snow, and there are no footprints to evidence that the man had walked over. One moment he’s alone, and then he isn’t. 

He feels fortunate that the other man doesn’t say anything right away. Instead he just settles himself down, crossing his legs and leaning back against the bench like he has all the time in the world. Dreamwalker hates him in that moment; here Sysba is, composed as ever, while he’s hunched over and falling apart. The eldritch is resting his arm on the bench behind Dreamwalker’s back, but he hasn’t made any other movements. 

It’s only when Dreamwalker finally looks over, wiping his hands across his cheeks to remove evidence of his misery, that Sysba finally speaks. 

“You left.” His voice is uncharacteristically soft, but it bounces off of the stone pillars and the snow that comprise the courtyard, making it seem to come from everywhere at once. Dreamwalker watches him carefully, hugging himself as he does so. The air seems to have become more frigid in the others presence. 

He doesn’t say anything in response, so Sysba continues to speak. 

“I can understand why. It’s usually around this period of time that people begin to feel regret for their decisions.” He looks over and meets Dreamwalker’s stare, catching the other man off guard for a moment. “Do you feel it, that regret?” 

Another moment of silence falls over them as they continue to watch each other. There’s no hostility in Sysba’s gaze—but there’s no sympathy either. It’s cold, and dark, and it reminds Dreamwalker of the stone statue that they’re sitting under right now. The only indication that Sysba is alive is the light pink flush across his nose and cheeks, brought on by the winter wind that’s lazily embracing them. That, and the way the snowflakes are clinging to his eyelashes and hair. 

Dreamwalker can see himself reflected in that gaze; his wide, golden eyes, his tear-stained cheeks, the way the snow is catching in his hair as well. He forces himself to turn away, refusing to acknowledge that the person in that reflection is truly him. Sysba lets out a soft sigh. 

“It isn’t regret,” Dreamwalker finally replies. His voice sounds smaller, broken, and it doesn’t carry through the courtyard like Sysba’s did. The other man nods like he’s expecting this response. “It isn’t regret, or remorse. It’s…”

“Like a longing,” Sysba finishes, and Dreamwalker bites the inside of his cheek. Yes, a longing. A longing for a warm home and the sound of his fathers laughter. A longing for his mothers perfume, for the safety and comfort that he once felt. He doesn’t want to sit in a cold, empty courtyard anymore, where his only company is a stone statue and a man who feels just as little. 

“Sometimes it’s a very sad thing to be human and longing.” Dreamwalker glances over again at Sysba’s tone. He isn’t looking at him anymore; he’s looking out at the courtyard, and although he’s still sitting there on the bench, he seems thousands of miles away. The snow continues to decorate his hair and skin. “I forgot that such feelings are common for you.” 

Sysba turns his gaze back to him. His eyes are still dark, enough to drown someone, but they aren’t as cold as they were before. He retracts his hand from behind Dreamwalkers back and settles it on his own lap. 

“I can’t take it away from you. I’m no magician, or spirit. You’ll have to handle it yourself.” In a flurry of motion, Sysba stands up from the bench, shaking the snow off of his form. Dreamwalker follows him with an attentive gaze. “But it’ll get easier to do that. I promise.” 

He doesn’t look back at Dreamwalker as he walks towards the building, his feet crunching in the snow as he goes. Dreamwalker remains sitting on the bench for long after his departure. By now, he’s become so cold that he can no longer feel anything, and the tears have stopped flowing down his cheeks. 

It was at that moment, though, that he knew his assumption about Sysba was wrong. The devil would’ve made a promise—he would’ve whispered honeyed words, provided touches of comfort, granted offers to take it away, to give Dreamwalker a second chance. The devil wouldn’t have murmured advice and then vanished like drifting snow.

For some reason, as he wraps his arms tighter around himself and tilts his head back to meet the statues gaze, this revelation does little to comfort him.

Request by @oneseharuxo: So, Can I request a bakugo x fem! Reader fluff where it's the reader's birthday? I really loved the Aizawa fluff! And you can take your time dw!

A/N: My first request! I was so incredibly soft while writing this. It’s the cutest little thing for our favorite explosive boy. I hope you all enjoy this little bit of Bakugou positivity to get you through the week! Also, I was listening to Ghibli soundtracks so it got super romantic. Enjoy!

Genre: some cute pro-hero!Bakugou and pro-hero!reader banter/fluffy times, a little bit of swearing, a dash of angst in the beginning about the reader feeling terrified of the future during past birthdays 💥❤️

♥*♥*♥*♥*♥*♥*♥*♥*♥*♥*♥*♥*♥*♥

Birthdays are awful. No matter how you celebrate them, they always bring on the negative and looming thoughts of the future. You’ve known this since you were quite young.

Your mother told you not to worry about your 6th birthday party. You didn’t care about the theme, cake, or favors because you were too caught up in the idea about starting kindergarten. It was terrifying. You were going to need to make new friends, meet new teachers, and start the beginning of a full education.

On your 12th birthday, you began to worry about becoming a teenager. Sure, it was a year away, but it still scared you. The fact that high school was just around the corner made you want to vomit. Middle school was already a big issue in your life, and high school was just going to make it all worse.

When you turned 16, you were already done with U.A. You began to get anxious about your future as a pro-hero. Who would you intern with? Who would you do a work studies with? Who would you be a sidekick for? When would you get your own agency? All of these questions brought on a lot of stress, causing you to want U.A. to invest in one thing: a counselor.

Your classmates were a big help during this period, considering they were all thinking the same things as you. You got close with a certain group of “hooligans,” as Mr. Aizawa put it. He told you to be wary of those individuals, but he was so wrong. The Bakusquad, comprised of Mina, Denki, Hanta, Eijiro, and Bakugou, brought you so much joy and made you forget about your thoughts temporarily. However, you weren’t as close with Bakugou as you were with the others. You were never even on a first name basis with him.

Now, you were older and still stressed yourself out about the littlest things. You had officially become a pro-hero, after graduating as a sidekick to Best Jeanist, and worked at Bakugou’s agency due to him “owing you a favor” from high school. You wanted to start your own agency, but you were currently tight on money due to some issues with your apartment. Of course, the entire plumbing system needed to be fixed right before your meeting the bankers to ask for a loan.

Bakugou was “kind” enough to let you work alongside him, but he treated you the same way he did in high school. He was distant enough to not ask you personal questions, yet he always showed up when you had a bad day and needed to rant to someone. Today, it was the latter.

“He was so idiotic and rude!” you yelled to your co-worker.

“Yeah, what an asshole,” he replied, crossing his arms and leaning against his desk.

You were currently in Bakugou’s personal office, looking out the window and whining about a man you encountered after your recent rescue. It was already close to 10 PM so the building was empty. It was always like this, especially with the week just beginning.

“After he told me to come over later,” you sighed, “he tried to get my number.”

“Wait, really?” Bakugou asked, walking over next to you.

“Yeah! I mean, come on! You don’t just say that to a pro-hero. I’m not even that good looking.”

Bakugou fell silent. He wanted to say something, anything, but he couldn’t get anything to come out. He thought you were so gorgeous. How was he supposed to tell you that, though. He had acted as if he hated you until you both were 3rd years. He always regretted that. Maybe he needed to learn how to just “be manly,” as Kirishima would say, and tell you his actual thoughts.

“Hey, dumbass,” you said, flicking his forehead.

He rolled his eyes dramatically before grabbing your hand and flinging it away as gently as possible. “Oh, please. You’re the dumbass, dumbass.”

You giggled at your friend’s response. It was a classic exchange between the two of you. He had always called you a dumbass, and you had grown accustomed to it. You thought it was endearing and sweet, despite it being an insult the first time he said it. At least he wasn’t calling you an extra anymore.

“Well,” you began again, “what kind of paperwork do you have tonight? Is it some major damage paperwork due to your inferiority complex?”

“Shut up,” he growled. “Today, I actually didn’t go out. I had a couple of meetings with the damn nerd and pink cheeks.”

Huh, you didn’t remember him telling you about seeing Izuku and Ochako. You two weren’t the closest, but you both knew each others’ schedules inside and out in case of an emergency. 

“Oh,” you replied, dramatically. “Let me guess, you couldn’t take your eyes off of Uravity.”

That earned you a hard punch in the shoulder. While you were wincing in pain, Bakugou was churning over what you had just said in his mind. Did you think he had a thing for pink cheeks? You had thought a while back about him and Kirishima dating, earning relentless teasing from Raccoon Eyes, until he denied it.

“You know for a fact I wasn’t,” the explosive hero commented, walking back to his desk.

“Yeah, yeah,” you groaned.

“You just love getting in my head, don’t ya?”

“Obviously.”

“You’ve been doing it more recently.”

Oh no. He’s noticed. You admit that your teasing has gotten a bit heavier since the beginning of the month. Why? You were trying to distract yourself from a certain day. Today, if you want to talk specifics.

“You wish,” you uttered quickly.

Bakugou chuckled and bore his vermillion eyes directly into yours. Smirking, he commented, “You totally have. What? Finally developed feelings for me or some shit?”

Well, great way to get caught twice in the span of 30 seconds. You were way too obvious for your own good. However, Bakugou was oblivious. You’ve liked him since 1st year. I mean, how long is it going to take this guy?

Trying to cover up your embarrassment, you howled with laughter before saying, “Absolutely not! How low do you think my standards are?”

He started chuckling. You turned back to face the window again and joined in the hilarity of his accusation. Although both of you wanted him to be right, neither of you wanted to admit it. With Bakugou’s pride and your fear, a confession was not in the near future.

Bakugou’s laughter subsided first, causing him to look down at the mahogany desk. A faint blush crept up on his cheeks from your sweet voice filling the air before fizzling out. Damn, he really thought he had you there. Apparently, he read the signs wrong.

“When are you leaving?” a tone of bitterness lining his voice that he wished wasn’t there.

You flinched at the sudden hostility and glanced at your watch. “Now, I guess. I mean, all I’m doing is going to my shabby apartment to freak out over my ever-growing age.”

“What?”

“What?”

Both of you were looking at each other. You just let slip your biggest flaw: your tendency to overthink your future. Also, it was your least favorite day: your birthday. The fact you admitted it in front of Bakugou, your only crush in history, was like being bound up my Hanta’s tape. 

You couldn’t move. You had always kept up a stronger guard around the blonde than with the others because you had another fear. You had never even let this slip to Mina, and that’s saying something. Your biggest fear besides the future was losing Bakugou.

Throughout your time at U.A., he constantly pushed you to do better. Whether you were doing a simple training exercise or working on getting stronger for the sports festival, he was always there to encourage you. Of course, his encouragement was telling you to get your ass in gear or face the consequences from him, but it was still sweet of him. 

Suddenly, the opening of desk drawers sounded through the room. You tilted your head to the side, wondering what your angry Pomeranian of a friend was doing. All you could hear was grunting for a couple of seconds.

Then, pens and pencils were thrown out. Next, pieces of paper went up in the air. Whether they were contracts for new sidekicks or just blank binder sheets, you ducked so you wouldn’t get in the crossfire of flying office supplies. After a couple of other things, like paper clips and sticky notes, were scattered across the office, Bakugou finally sighed.

You looked between your hands covering your face and noticed he held...a calendar? Since when was King Explosion Murder organized? You had known this man for years and understood his habits. You even understood why he went to bed so early in high school. This, however, was very different.

“Ugh, what the hell?” he muttered.

Just as you were about to ask him what was up, he grabbed his bag off the back of his chair. He jogged over to you, grabbed your hand and bag, and opened the door.

“You’re an idiot,” he said, shoving you into an elevator. “How long? How long have we known each other? You still never told me.”

Your brain couldn’t keep up. What was he talking about? Did you forget an important dinner meeting he had? No, he usually only scheduled those on Fridays. Then, what was going on.

Before you could ask him, you felt your whole body being yanked by the muscular man. He took you both down to the parking garage and walked straight to his BMW convertible. Letting go of your hand, he went to the trunk and dropped both of your bags in. He opened your door, practically shoving you in, and slammed it closed when all of your limbs were safely inside. Bakugou got in the driver’s seat, buckled his seatbelt, and started the car.

You felt very hazy. You know Bakugou can get...intense about certain topics, but he’s never dragged you into it. The calendar was weird. Him dragging you to his car was weird. The aura was weird. All of this was weird.

“Bakugou?” you asked.

“You’re such a dumbass,” he scoffed.

“Bakugou, please tell me wh--”

“Shut your damn mouth.”

He was acting strange. You weren’t phased by his attitude since you’ve known each other for ages. Deciding to give up, you sighed and looked out the window. The scenery passed by quickly, making your mind wander to the moment you realized you liked him.

It was a normal day at U.A., and exams were just around the corner. You were planning to study alone until Bakugou asked you to join Denki, Eijiro, and himself. You agreed and immediately regretted it. Bakugou was constantly yelling at your other two friends because they were being absolute idiots. In his defense, they were. Denki didn’t even know his body was made of cells, for crying out loud. Despite this, Bakugou indirectly complimented you on your notes. He even smirked a bit at your flustered response. You knew from the way your heart picked up its palpitations that you had fallen hard.

“Out,” Bakugou huffed, scaring you out of your flashback.

Opening the car door and getting out, you looked up and noticed his apartment complex. You heard from Eijiro that it was nice, but it was beautiful. It was made with a light gray cement, almost looking white in the light of the moon. The wood accents were all dark oak, and each apartment had a secluded balcony. You’d definitely have to hit Red Riot the next time you saw him for calling this complex “nice.”

Noticing Bakugou had already grabbed your bags and started up to the door, you began walking to catch up to him. You both got in the elevator, and he pressed the button to the top floor.

You turned your gaze to him. He was deep in thought. His eyes held a purpose, but they were a bit muddy. The reason he had dragged you here must’ve been important. Could it be a reconnaissance mission of some sort?

Soon enough, the ding in the elevator signified your arrival. Instead of a long hallway lined with apartments, there was only a single door. Bakugou slid his key in and turned the look. Holy mother of All Might...Bakugou owned a penthouse.

You were expecting minimal decorations from your friend, and you were right and oh so wrong at the same time. Everything in his apartment was classy and modern. From the wood floors to the paint color to the granite on the counters, his house looked like it had been done by a professional designer. You decided in that moment that you were never taking Bakugou to your apartment.

“Well,” he sighed softly, “go take a shower. The bathroom is down the right hallway over there. You can use one my shirts and a pair of shorts once you’re done. Just don’t waste all the hot water, got it?”

You blinked your eyes a couple of times before meekly nodding your head. Carefully walking over in the direction he pointed, you admired the living room from a new perspective. You also got a chance to see the paint color up close. It was a beautiful soft blue that held a lot of gray tones. It was perfect for a man of his caliber, despite his anger issues.

Once you got to the bathroom, the clothes were already there for you. Bakugou had either gained your former class president’s quirk or you were walking extremely slow. Either way, you smiled when you recognized the top: his iconic black skull t-shirt. He’s had it since high school. The fact he chose that one for you, or maybe just yanked it out of the depths of his closet, made your heart flutter.

The warm shower helped clear your senses. You had to figure out a way to make sure you kept your cool around Bakugou. You had no idea why your crush had acted so strangely before dragging you to his apartment. However, as strange as this whole thing still was to you, despite living in this reality for almost an hour, you couldn’t let him know anything.

After using up almost all of the hot water, you got out of the shower and put on his clothes. They felt so comfortable and reminded you of some of the craziest things you both had gone through. From the USJ attack to witnessing All Might’s fall, you two had seen a lot of crazy things. These thoughts helped give you courage. With that, you checked yourself in the mirror one last time and went to the living room.

Upon walking into the open space, you felt your heart stop. You had only been in the shower for 15 minutes, but Bakugou had done some work. The angry boy you had watched grow into a man had changed, but what you saw was completely beyond you.

On the coffee table, a little strawberry cake with fluffy white icy sat in all its beauty. Next to it were two forks, some napkins, and two cups of tea. There was a card with a picture of you and Bakugou messing with each other that Denki had somehow snapped after the concert had been executed perfectly in 1st year. The reason he had rushed you to his house wasn’t because of hero work. He knew it was--

“Happy birthday, dumbass,” he said, causing you to look up to him.

He held the softest expression you have ever seen. Bakugou’s eyes entranced you and held something similar to...adoration? He was holding some candles in his right hand, but his left hand was hidden behind his back.

“But,” you began, “how? How did you even remem--”

“We were in Yokohama at the hero conference a couple of years ago,” he stated. “Jeanist told me your birthday was coming up, and I asked him what specific day it was. After that, I marked it in my calendar.”

He sauntered over to the coffee table and sat down on the ground. He placed each of the candles meticulously onto the birthday treat. It was almost too perfect.

“I then tried to find you a gift,” Bakugou continued. “Of course, I suck at remembering what people like. I couldn’t get you anything. I did remember something, though.”

Once the candles were placed, he activated his quirk, barely creating a spark, and lit the candles. There were only 4, but it was even sweeter than him leaving out his shirt. 

“At U.A., you always distanced yourself around this time,” Bakugou said, looking up at you. “I thought you had a family thing happen to you or something, but Dunce Face explained it to me. This year, I wanted to change that for you.”

You were speechless. Never in your life did you expect such a gesture from your friend. At this point, it didn’t even feel like you two were friends. It felt as if you two had been together since the dawn of time.

Bakugou then slid on the floor and propped himself on one knee before you. He took his left hand from behind his back, revealing a black and orange box. When he slowly opened it, you gasped at what you saw. It was a Cartier simple black band adorned with emeralds and jaspers.

Tears welled in your eyes as Bakugou extended his hand to you. You placed yours gently in his, allowing him to stand up and slide the ring onto your right hand. It was a perfect fit. Never in your life had you received such a perfect birthday gift. It was a sign from the universe, you thought. It was now or never.

“Baku--” you began, inhaling a sharp breath before starting over. “Katsuki, I can’t keep it from you anymore. I think I like you.”

“No,” Bakugou stated, trying to contain his laughter.

“Excuse me?”

“Try it again, (y/n). Tell me how you really feel.”

You were too infatuated with this man to get angry at him now. Screw your pride. This was your man standing in front of you. You had to say it. You had to say the words he and you both wanted to hear.

“I love you, Katsuki Bakugou,” you announced, causing warmth to flood to your cheeks.

He smiled and sighed. Rubbing a hand over his face, he groaned, “You know I suck at words so get your ass over here.”

Listening to his command, you stepped forward into his arms. He glanced at your lips before you both instinctively closed the gap. You had never felt more alive. It was as if you were both perfectly molded for each other. Whatever god or goddess had created you had also created the handsome specimen you were kissing. The genuine passion and love his kiss held spoke to your heart. It made you realize that the time you had spent waiting to confess to him was wasted time. He wanted you just as much as you wanted him. This was the moment you had been waiting for.

After pulling apart, you both stared into each other’s eyes. Every romance manga you had ever read could’ve never prepared you for what this man was about to say to you.

“Be mine?” Katsuki questioned.

“Absolutely,” you smiled, kissing him once again.

Your entire world changed in those two words. His entire world changed in the response you provided him with. It was meant to be. It was the best thing to ever happen to him. You, (y/n) (l/n), were the best thing to ever happen to him. It was because of you his anger subsided drastically in 3rd year. It’s because of your positive personality that he ended up deciding to take a social ethics class to be kinder to civilians. It’s because of your smile that he kept going, even through the events you both had been through.

Breaking off the kiss, you giggled before saying, “I should blow out those candles. Wouldn’t want your fancy place getting burned to a crisp.”

Playfully punching your shoulder, Katsuki sat down and held open his arms. You got on the ground and crawled into them, feeling peace and security enter your system. Leaning forward, you thought for a few seconds before blowing out your candles. You did make a wish, for the first time in your life, despite having everything you could’ve ever wanted holding you tightly to his chest.

“Wanna break the rules and tell me what you wished for?” he whispered in your ear.

“Sure,” you replied, turning your head to look into his eyes. “I wished for our new relationship to be even better than our friendship.”

Rolling his eyes, he leaned in and kissed your temple. “Now,” he said, grabbing the forks, “let’s dig in.”

You both sat together on the floor of Katsuki’s apartment for the next 3 hours, talking, laughing, and eating the strawberry cake. You both reminisced on how you met, gave your genuine first impressions of each other, and even talked about your first thoughts on the life threatening situations you guys had been in.

For the first time in your life, you weren’t worried about the future. You were actually excited by it. Why? You finally had your partner...no, soulmate. Katsuki was meant to be with you, and you with him. Everything had finally fallen into place. This was the best birthday you had ever had.

Together, you cleaned up the dishes at 3:22 AM, and Katsuki headed off to take his shower. During this time, you began to wander around the apartment again. There was a wall, secluded from the others, that caught your attention.

On it were multiple sleek, black picture frames holding many different photos. There were a couple from the sports festival in 2nd year, one of the first photos the Bakusquad took with you, a couple of Katsuki and Izuku when they were kids, and a single photo of you.

You recognized it. You were at the beach with Mina and Hanta because they begged you nonstop to go. You ended up having a lot of fun, and Mina captured this photo when you happened to look back at her with the biggest smile on your face. When did she give that to him?

“She gave it to me graduation day,” Katsuki stated, as if he was reading your mind. “It’s my favorite photo on this wall.”

“Of course it is,” you smirked. “Who wouldn’t love a photo of me on their wall?”

“That’s it.”

Suddenly, Katsuki charged you and threw you over his shoulder. Laughing like a maniac, you hit his back until he was laughing with you. After a couple minutes of this, he put you down and hugged you. He really did wonders through his actions. Who needed words when Katsuki’s hugs were the best in the world.

“We need to go to bed,” he said into your hair.

“I know,” you yawned.

He picked you up, much more gently, and led you to his room. He plopped you down on the bed and got under the covers. Quickly, you scrambled in next to him. He instinctively wrapped his arms around you. His warmth caused your heart rate to quickly slow and your eyelids to flutter shut. Before you completely fell asleep, you heard the one sentence that made you remember that this birthday was not a dream.

“I love you, (y/n).”

I reblogged your post with my answer, but I don’t know if you actually got it, so here it is:

Well, it’s still worrying since the Asides were supposed to be separated from the main plot but now they aren’t, and already by the second one you have to watch it to know what’s going on. Plus, they’re apparently such a priority we’re getting two more before the season finale. But yeah, it could be worse.

As for the Patton-jealousy arc, that’s just a theory that one of the fans had for something that happened a lot in some of season 1 and early season 2– Logan, and Roman, would often be pretty hostile to Patton. Mostly Logan, and then Roman would follow as if to prove himself.

Like, they’d often be deliberately depicted to act upset and jealous whenever Patton got any acknowledgement from Thomas. Logan seemed sensitive to Patton being commended for being smart in any way and kept trying to leave him out, like in the Sherlock episode. In one episode when Thomas went along with Patton in saying that Logan and Roman worked well together, and Patton’s theme began to play, the two belittled him and told him he was acting immature. They kept brushing him off and wouldn’t take him seriously. They also slowed Patton down in Accepting Anxiety Part 1, when Patton tries to point out Virgil isn’t there by brushing him off and talking about other reasons. And in Logic vs. Passion, at the end of the video, a point is made in the end card of Virgil sitting with Patton and saying that it’s a shame Patton wasn’t there since he would’ve probably made some good points. It very much seemed like a deliberately built up plot point.

Then it was just forgotten about after Moving On. And honestly, it wasn’t resolved. Not completely. All that happened was that Thomas realized it was okay to feel sad and that Patton wasn’t always as happy as he acted for them. And they might’ve subconsciously realized that they should’ve listened to him in the beginning, though they didn’t even seem to consciously know they were talking over him.

But it wasn’t properly resolved. The sides never apologized and acknowledged they should listen to him more— heck, Logan wasn’t even there in person. And his “gift”?? Where it’s a “compromise” between Patton wearing something he likes that hurts no one and Logan... just wanting to control what he wears?? Thomas should understand that’s not an apology. Barely acknowledging that someone can be nonconformist while still forcing them to conform to your slightly more lenient standards isn’t a complete resolution, and it’s definitely not an acknowledgement of everything Logan especially did wrong to Patton. Thomas leaving it at that wasn’t a “subtle” finish, it was downright incomplete, and it wouldn’t be the end of the issue in a real relationship.

But it’s just vanished after that. Half-done, and then discarded. Like it just was there for drama. Like we’re supposed to assume that it was worked out offscreen, which, no. Building up a conflict for that long kind of requires you to resolve it fully on-screen, not set up a possibility of finishing it and then leave it. That’s just asking the audience to write the story for you. It just feels forgotten about.

Just like the unresolved issues at the end of LNTAO. Are we ever coming back to that one? It was established after the episode that the conversation wasn’t done, that Roman’s apology and wanting not to shy away from his pain didn’t solve anything yet.

Heck, the whole problem was mostly caused by Logan— Roman is having trouble creating because creativity isn’t a machine that endlessly churns out product. He needs some time for Thomas to self-reflect in order to be able to create more easily. But Logan is worried taking time will drive fans away, so he’s just demanding Roman produce. And when Roman can’t, Logan doesn’t have a solution, he just keeps demanding Roman create more, so of course Roman lashes out. And Logan’s the one who thinks Thomas should get a “real,” societally-approved job, like an accountant. And Roman ends up apologizing? For lashing out in response to Logan’s bullying? That doesn’t actually solve anything!

It was implied we were going to come back to it, but then immediately afterwards Deceit appears, and then we were just given new plot thread on top of new plot thread, as if the new ones are meant to bury the old ones. Roman’s issues were never returned to, and it seems like they’re eventually just going to explode. But from the way the other sides are acting, I don’t think it looks like they’re being set up to understand why Roman’s upset when it all becomes too much. It looks like they’ll just think he’s being difficult. Will the conflict actually be wrapped up and resolved properly, or will there just be a bunch of drama, and then a hastily rushed half-done conclusion?

Roman deserves better than that. But I don’t know how much I trust the writers anymore.

Sorry I got a bit off topic there. But I just really needed to get my worries out. I hope I answered your question, anyway.

I did get your reblog, I just got sick last night (nothing covid related, dw) and wasn’t feeling well enough to respond.

That makes sense on where the jealousy idea came from, but I’d honestly interpreted it as them being like “you’re an idiot and are throwing Thomas off track”, and then in Moving On they realized “oh shit that was all a front, you’re like... really hurting”

BUT, that being said, your interpretations/theories/etc are all completely valid, just because we saw it differently doesn’t mean one of us is wrong. 

I’m sure they have... something planned? And maybe it’s all just setting up for a slow-burn type of thing? but... the execution of that is sure going to be... something, if we ever get to see it

In light of the “Game of Thrones” of it all...

I’ve seen a lot of people comment that some of the best “plot twists” are the ones that are either 1. planned and foreshadowed properly and/or 2. are stated at the beginning and thus creators BUILD up on the twist.

[bonus if the creators of said media also doesn’t treat their audiences like proper idiots for figuring out their game plan and instead celebrate alongside them for catching on!]

The new Ducktales reboot does both of those points quite well (and the bonus too).

And the way they do it can be summed up in three simple words/phrases:

“Whoa... Wait, what?... AHHHH!!!”

Ducktales 2017 does this method of storytelling and they execute it SO. WELL. [season 1 had so many Whoa... Wait, what?... Ahhh!!! moments but a lot of us didn’t recognize it for what it was until season 2′s premiere, as explained in-universe by Louie Duck, and then further expanded by Scrooge McDuck as a way to compliment why noticing things like that is a good thing, and of course Frank Angones, one of the producers/writers, essentially confirms those Whoa, Wait What? Ahhh!!! theories on his blog].

“Whoa” is served at the beginning of the arc; either a twist or a necessary [and impressive] plot point is revealed. Season 1 of Ducktales 2017 did that in the premiere episode by revealing the existence of Huey/Dewey/Louie’s mother, Della, in Ducktales ‘verse (a thing mainstream media didn’t necessarily know about, nor was it truly explored about in Ducktales canon except a mention or two in comics). Another Whoa moment happened in season 1 with the reveal that Darkwing Duck exists in this Ducktales universe (a thing that fans wanted in the original but it couldn’t be done).

“Wait, what?” is when the Whoa reveal is further explained or built upon, giving the people information as to what the Whoa reveal means to canon/universe. One of the significant Wait, What? moment in the Della storyline happened mid-season 1 when it was revealed Why/When/How Della disappeared from their lives. It was a perfect example of Wait, What? because not only did they reveal details as to When/How she disappeared, but how the Why affected the family of those she left behind. It explained why in the pilot Donald and Scrooge were estranged and somewhat hostile towards each other. It explained little details like how small Scooge’s piles of gold was compared to the original. It also had the consequential response of the triplets becoming hostile towards Scrooge once the truth came out (essentially the What? part to endcap the Wait reveal that was the Spear of Selene secret). As for the Darkwing Duck arc, the season 1 Wait, What? moment was them revealing that Darkwing Duck was a fictional in-verse TV show that Launchpad McQuack grew up watching and loving as a kid [there’s a LOT of meta happening in this show].

The “Aaaahh!!!” moment is the payoff, the results, the consequences due to the build up that was started by Whoa and laid by the groundwork that is Wait, What. Season 1′s biggest Aaahh!! moment did come at the season finale when they revealed that Della is alive and stuck on the goddamn MOON of all places! 

I also mentioned Darkwing Duck alongside the Della example because this arc was also a masterclass in storytelling for that particular Aaaahh!!! moment was handled in ONE ENITRE EPISODE in season 2 called “The Duck Knight Returns.” At a fan signing event, Launchpad (and us viewers) finally meet the actor, Jim Starling, that plays Darkwing Duck. We discover (alongside them) that a movie reboot is being made on the Darkwing Duck franchise. Things happen and the climactic reveal at the end wasn’t just the fact that this episode served as an origin story to DT2017′s reboot of Darkwing Duck/Drake Mallard... but also an origin story/intro to one of DW’s biggest foes: Negaduck.

[cue AAHHHHH!!!!]

I honestly don’t think people hate plot twists or “surprise!” moments.... They just hate how some of them are executed, what it means for the characters, and what essentially you’re telling (and or how you’re treating) the fans.

Because when a plot twist is done right, when it’s executed in a way that isn’t a disservice to the characters/story and that doesn’t talk down or treat their fans like morons, you end up having people that will love and celebrate the story as much as the creators that worked their asses off to give us said story/media/art.

I definitely had to take a few months off of Voltron after that.. godforsaken season. But after thinking about it, and it’s all just theories obviously, what I think happened in S8 in terms of Lance and Allura becoming one dimensional, and lack of Lotor , might have been because of third parties too? Like obviously LMJDS were probably toxic and that can definitely cause the last season to be shit, but also third parties who owns some rights to the Voltron characters (1)

Alrighty, my response is going under a cut cause we both made this super long!

Firstly, I know third parties are a thing, but Dreamworks itself has the exclusive rights to Voltron. They bought it in a deal along with other properties (including She-Ra), and LMJDS were actually pretty vocal early on about how much creative freedom they had. They had a couple executives to go through, of course (an example of the executives says ‘no’ was to their original pitch involving post-Galra Earth, Lance as a child soldier, and Keith has a white-haired half-Galra that filed his teeth and dyed his hair so no one would know), but largely could create the story they want. Netflix has the airing rights for it, it was the one that paid for it, and it’s pretty known to just say ‘whatever’ to what people want to make.

The DW producers probably did come back with notes about changing things for toys, but what you have to remember is that the toys largely would have been focused on the lions and the robots and everything. Yeah, some Paladin stuff, but it’s not like the relationships in the show would have been reflected on anything in that way.

I’m thinking back to the Power Ranges the early 90s (I was obsessed with it). The Green and Pink Rangers were a thing in the show, but that didn’t reflect anything in the merchandise. And that was in the 90s. Many companies KNOW they have to be more open-minded now. They don’t have a choice. When Disney is buying up EVERYTHING, unless you wanna fall under the radar and slowly get merged with the mouse, you really can’t risk being seen as a close-minded company run by bigots. It’s not third parties that are getting flack, it’s DREAMWORKS.

Also, no matter how the romances turned out, they thought they were getting a 5-10ish male demographic, and they ended up getting that, plus teens and adults. They got the coveted 18-25 range (the bigger spenders), and they adjusted the merchandise to that (t-shirts, jewellery, the funko pops, comics, etc). I cannot stress enough just how LUCKY they got getting the fanbase they did. Third parties could have made a fortune off of it.

It’s also pretty telling that they were able to add in the Shiro/Curtis scene without any real issue. Shiro, who was saved from an early death due to his potential popularity and toy sales. Think about that.

Not only that, but the writers and so many others actually thought that they were going to go with Keith and Lance. That’s a genuine thing. They originally thought they were writing a show where you got Shiro/Allura, and Keith/Lance. That was how the writers saw S1 & S2, and you can TELL. The moments we picked up on? On purpose.

We know that DW wanted Keith/Allura. We know that LM just wanted fighting robots (but I will always remain suspicious over the fact that she had the ship name Laith  in mind already, and drew the picture with Lance holding that sign). We know JDS wanted Allura/Lance.

Until someone actually comes out and says something else, the ones to blame for the shitshow we got are LMJDS. The fact that they keep spewing awful ideas of ‘we wanted to do this but were told no’ and ‘we wanted to do this but were told no’ is them trying to stick the blame on someone else because it’s ruining their careers. Also it’s terrifying to think that were got the BETTER ending compared to that shit.

The only way we’re going to be able to be able to tell is what DW decides to do with the comics. If they make them stick to the ending, then yeah, they were at least allowing the shitty, genuinely hostile writing to happen. If they saw change it, well, at least they’re smart enough to see how badly they fucked up.

It hurt.

It hurt so much.

The inevitable tears that caressed your cheeks, laced with the sobs forcing its way out of your throat, hurt.

"Your brother..h-he's passed away"

——

"Felix, I need you..." You wailed into the phone, tears still cascading down your face, as you cradled your legs, pulling them tightly toward your chest.

"I know (Y/n)...I'll try to convince my manager to let me come home" Your boyfriend's voice murmured, exposing his guilt ridden state.

Yet you couldn't contain the intsense anger that flooded through your veins. How could he?

"What do you mean try?!" You yelled, if you could call it that, as your voice cracked.

"We have a concert tomorrow and then a fan sign after that...it'll create problems if I don't attend..." Felix explained gently, trying to calm you down.

"Whatever" You spat, immediately hanging up and pushing your phone far away from you.

'Why am I always alone?'

The overwhelming pain that enveloped your entire being, only allowed you to think of horrible thoughts.

The continous ringing of your phone was loud. Very loud. But it wasn't enough to stop you from crying yourself to sleep, on your cold bedroom floor.

——

(A week later)

The creaking of the front door, broke the intense silence that engulfed your apartment.

The blonde haired male released a deep breath, before shutting the door and removing his thick coat, onto the coat hanger.

The sound of his footsteps hitting the floor was increasingly evident, as he navigated his way through the spacious apartment.

His eyes wandered aimlessly, searching for a sign of your presence.

The undrawn curtains, pristine clean kitchen and tightly shut doors, heightened his nervousness.

He knew you were upset, but he also hoped you would be feeling better and so, he was disappointed to find you trapped under your blanket, staring at nothing in particular.

You weren't quite asleep, but he didn't feel any form of energy radiating from you.

"(Y/n)..." Felix mumbled, his heart racing as he watched your eyes tear themselves away from the wall to meet his own.

You provided him with a blank stare, before returning to your self pity state.

Felix swallowed the lump that had subconciously formed in his throat, as he slowly approached you, sitting beside you.

You continued to ignore his presence, only reacting to the slight dip in the bed, when he sat down.

"How are you feeling?"

"Like complete and utter shit." You replied, with words as cold and sharp as ice.

Felix flinched slightly, disheartened by your out of character hostility.

"I'm sorry.." He apologized, reaching for your free hand, only for you to move his hand away gently.

"It's too late for that Lix. We need to end this." You announced bluntly, sitting up, to talk to him.

"W-what? (Y/n), I wanted to be there for you, I really did." Felix panicked, now grasping both of your hands, with pleading eyes.

"I made the mistake of thinking I could tolerate it. I really tried. I tried to understand why. And I do. I understand that you have a huge responsibility, far too heavy for any human being to carry." You started, your hands tightening their grip on his, "But this isn't right. I can't keep preteneding you're here for me, when you're not. It's not healthy for you and me. At first, I told myself that I'm just overreacting. But that's not right Lix. I keep pushing my own feelings away and it's gotten way past the breaking point. I just wanted you to be here for me. This one time. I've never felt so lonely in my entire life..." You trailed off, finally meeting Felix's tearful eyes.

He allowed a few tears to fall, before pulling you into a tight hug, murmuring soft apologies.

You returned his hug, your beathing becoming irregular as you held the boy you loved with your entire heart.

Finally, Felix pulled away, quickly wiping his eyes, that continued to water.

"I'm so sorry. I made you feel everything you don't deserve to feel. Thank you for being so patient with me and loving me nonetheless. Just know that I truly love you and...I h-hope you finf s-someone better..." He choked up towards the end, causing you to hug him again.

"Can I kiss you?...one last time?" He asked weakly.

You nodded, releasing the tears you were trying so hard to keep in.

His hands carefully caressed your cheeks, as his lips slowly met yours.

The saltiness of both of your tears blended with the sweetness of his lips, prompting you to kiss him harder, before reluctantly pulling away.

The two of you spent the rest of the night staring into eachothers eyes, basking in eachothers warmth, before Felix left your apartment for the last time.

Satine Kryze & Pre Vizsla: Servants and Guards (part I)

Previous parts: political & social position < • > Wealth: clothes < • > paintings seen in their residences < • > living conditions < • > personal ships < • >

Servants and Guards are two groups that take care of needs and protect the richest and/or most significant people. It’s no wonder then that Satine Kryze, as a ruler of Mandalore, and Pre Vizsla, as once governor of Concordia & then current leader of Death Watch, were seen in their company over the course of animated series. At the same time, The Clone Wars and additional sources present both similarities and differences between how representatives of these groups served Satine and Pre.

The first part will be focused at servants.

On Coronet, during the travel from Mandalore to Coruscant [s02e13], Satine tried to pursue other republic senators to her cause / ideal of pacifism. On her luxury spaceship, no human servants (beside the Royal Guards & ship personnel) were seen.

The group of politicians were served by, most likely BD-3000 luxury droids who were responsible for providing beverages

while other servant (and protocol) droids were serving Satine and her guests during dinner:

The additional informations about Voyage of Temptation states that

The use of droids isn’t anything new - droids have always been a cheap workforce while at the same time their programming made them suitable for working with a diverse mass of people. Serving droids may work for many hours, don’t complain, always are nice to the guests/travelers, can comunicate in many languages, the ideal service for such prestige - and political important - ship. During Voyage of Temptation the luxury Coronet could be reserved only for Satine and her guests (thus lack of human servants and other travelers), nevertheless the droids are, if not the main then at least the visible group of servants on the ship.

Droids as much as are useful, aren’t the most liked or appreciated group:

Droids are intelligent mechanical contraptions that are vital to the smooth operation of galactic society. Every day, millions of subservient automatons negotiate treaties, repair hyperdrives, cure plagues, incinerate garbage, nurse children, haul cargo, deliver messages, cook meals, and kill enemies. At the same time, droids are often ignored and unappraciated, treated as chattel by many owners and looked at with outright hostility by others (by The Essential Guide to Droids)

Now, this is something to think about, because on one hand, Satine hopes that Coronet’s trips to Coruscant would help to change republic citizens’ idea about Mandalore and its people, an idea based more on “lurid holodramas about ancient warriors” than current reality. But at the same time, so far there was no native Mandalorian (either as someone born on Mandalore-planet or Mandalore-system/sector) working on Coronet as servant to attend the needs - or curosity - of travelers. I mean, the chance to meet and talk with living New Mandalorian could be an interesting cultural experience, right? Yet the serving role is, as far as TCW showed, reserved for droids alone.

There are two interesting aspects of that situation:

from what I remember, droids were rarely seen / used on Mandalore (and Concordia) through the course of TCW. Yet, there is plenty of them on Coronet; some are luxury models, some more common types. The ship was a tool of Satine's intergalactic politics AND tool of propaganda / cultural exchange between New Mandalorians and outsiders (Republic citizens). This makes me wonder if New Mandalorians are too proud (or disliking the idea) to serve as servants on such ship? Or if they are so pro-technology and/or use of droids, why droids aren’t common sight on Mandalore (and Concordia)?

The events of Voyage of Temptation episode happened in Clone Wars, when droids are even less liked, trusted or tolerated than before. What once again comes down to why Satine (and in general, New Mandalorians society) is using droids on such scale on one ship, yet not on Mandalore?

Beside those few thoughts, the most eye-catching thing is Satine’s lack of handmaiden who would help her get ready for the meeting (and dinner) with important senators or support her in any other means. No human (or alien) trusted servant [beside Royal Guards] around her, just politicans, ex-beloved and mass of droids.

The second example happened during Padme’s visit on Mandalore [s03e05]. When women have dinner, there are two Mandalorian servants who pour wine into their glasses:

This short scene shows that Satine did have human (female) servants yet there is little to none hints those women have any special, closer bond with their ruler. We can’t be sure about that of course due to limited sources and all, but so far, Satine seems to be a lone (female) figure at her own court. In contrast, Padme’s handmaidens played much more prominent role (especially in movies) than just being a nice background. Even though the social class difference, Padme and her haindmaidens interacted with each other and seemed to have good (warm) relationship and were adressed by their names while Satine most likely saw her Royal Guards as the only people she could trust.

Before I’m gonna talk about Royal Guards, let’s look at Pre and his servants through three examples: meeting with Satine & Obi-Wan on Concordia, enslaved women of Carlac and talk with Maul.

During first, Pre was still seen as trustworth ally of Satine and as governor of Concordia, was in position of great power. As politician, Pre most likely met and interacted with many people of similar position. The visit of Satine and Obi-Wan (representing Jedi Council / Republic) was unexcepted due to tragic event on Mandalore. It’s understable then Duchess Satine and her guest weren’t welcomed by big party (like Padme was by Satine much later, for example). We didn’t have a chance to see the three of heroes dinning together, but I find it really interesting that Pre was making drinks for Satine and pouring their glasses himself. On one hand, it makes the scene less formal, showing those two characters feel at easy around each other and drop the “diplomatic protocol” act. On another, Pre is “alone”, not supported by any of his human servants or droids, while Satine has her Royal Guards standing on watch. Of course, maybe he is following Mandalorian (Concordian?) etiquette and plays the good host, at least until the supposed dinner was to be served.

Before I’m gonna talk about second example, I need to say one thing: The A Friend in Need episode iirritated my pretty much. Not the violence itself, because Mandalorians are capable of terryfing things, but the lack of explanation why Death Watch decided to stay on Carlacc, why they took hostages instead of just took control over village and live in more comfortable way, what was the deal between DW and native people and why Death Watch from the secret army changed into “motocycle gang” for one episode (beside that Lucas wanted them feel like such group). I have a lot problems with A Friend in Need due to some senseless elements (the whole arresting Lux on neutral ground, Mandalorian misogyny that is not part of their Legends!culture) especially since the whole episode feels like made to just kill some poor girl so Ahsoka can have supposed cool moment.

That said, we didn’t see Pre acting violent against the captured women until the burning village scene, but he was responsible for what happened to them and at least one of his men acted aggressively against hostages. Killing those poor women may not be an option back then, but it doesn’t seem like Pre cared for their fate beyond their usefulness. Here comes a bit of the senseless moments, like A) sending Ahsoka to captured women, even though she was introduced as Lux’s fiancee and the boy was close to become part of Death Watch B) assuming that woman should be sent away (and then taken to those serving women) so the men could talk is nonsense/hypocrisy since Death Watch have female warriors and Bo was Pre’s second in command and C) which such treating of those women I’m surprised Pre & DW are so trusting to eat what they served them. I know I would worry if food was poisoned or if the women spit inside the soup. Like, we didn’t see any Death Watch soldier forcing women to test if the food is edible, why they are so trusting morons...? Sorry for the last part.

The women not only cooked the food, but were also forced to serve the warriors at the table. For unknown reason (beside the needs of plot), Ahsoka served with them. The presence of serving women this time do not encourages warriors to taunt or torment the poor servants. Maybe Pre made sure his men behave, or maybe what happend before was an isolated incident. Albeit Tryla warned Ahsoka “You don't want to make them angry. They are far from rational.” so it’s hard to tell for sure how often - and how much - Mandalorians were violent against them. For sure women weren’t there on their own will, nor feel safe around their captors.

During the feast, kidnapped women served warriors food albeit we didn’t see them starting from Pre, the leader (or serving him at all, although he had his bowl in later scene), not from Lux, the honor guest. Pre and Bo-Katan and other warriors didn’t seem to mind or care.

Later, when the chief of village came and demanded Death Watch to leave his people in peace, Pre agreed and the next day killed Tryla and ordered to burn village. All just to prove who is the stronger and that Death Watch is not taking orders from weakling.

There is not much to tell how Pre treats (human) servants - he is willing to capture people and force them into servitude, something that ancient Taungs/Mandalorians did on many occassion and kill them as punishment / show who is stronger (the master) but at the same time he alone did not torment kidnapped women (or the droids, as far as we could see), did not care he get his meal as the last one. I’m really wondering what kind of deal Death Watch had with villagers / chief and why they kidnapped women in the first place. Was that a need for servants alone or was that a way to test the chief when he is gonna show some guts? The lazinnes of warriors and their feeling like Death Watch could torment people for fun may be true but then why they:

didn’t just take the control over village and resident there in much more comfortable conditions? Also

The Death Watch camp on Zunbar moon didn’t have any additional (forced) servants and warriors were doing just fine, so it’s not like they needed outsiders to serve them.

Keeping people against their will is inconvenience since the hostages must be supervised all the time, to make sure they don’t run away or worse, don’t try fight back or sabotage warriors in other means (like poising food).

It would really help, if the episode give more informations about what happened between Death Watch and the village chief instead of generic explanation. But that is common problem with The Clone Wars, unfortunately.

The third example once again shows Pre acting as the good host who himself serves the "guest” [s05e14]. What is important, Death Watch found injured Maul and Savage and the previous scene of “interrogation“ in which Bo was ready to shoot unconscious Savage to keep Maul in check proves the Zabrak brothers were more prisoners than a real guests. Yet Pre treated Maul as equal, sharing his tea and serving him personally (the way he treated once Satine) before their talk get serious for good.

The other Mandalorians did not play the role of servants (one warrior was simply eating his own food the whole time Pre talked to Maul), even though they were Vizsla’s own men. Most likely their presence was additional security for the leader of Death Watch, since Pre already had (not the best) experiences with force sensitive people thus troubles were to be expected.

Once again, Pre did not rely on people/droids and took himself the role of good host while no other Mandalorian was seen in role of servant. The warriors most likely were there to guard Pre, yet the way they act is far from Royal Guards of Satine, who usually were shown as just standing in the background and waiting whereas we could see Pre’s men talk between each other, eat together, enjoy each company or spar.

So far, nor Satine nor Pre have any significant relationship with servants. The Duchess rely on droids and people to serve her and her guests/friends, but she doesn’t put any special trust or focus at them. Pre is willing to capture and force people into servitude to test village chief and/or to prove his point (not taking orders from weakling) but he doesn’t paid them much attention, nor doesn’t do anything when he, as Death Watch leader, isn’t treated with special honors. In contrast to Satine, we could see him twice serving personally his guests and he doesn’t seem to be bothered by that either. At the same time, despite having hierarchy, Death Watch members aren’t forced into serving role - they may act as additional security, like during meeting with Maul, but they feel pretty at easy around their leader and do their own things (talking with each other, eating, sitting on special seat). In contrast, through TCW we don’t see Satine sitting with her servants at the same table, nor even talking directly or indirectly to them at all. Both in movies and TCW, we could see Padme taking advice or adressing her handmaides. Even though we didn’t see Pre talking one on one with other DW members (beside Bo?), he did adress his men while having “official meeting” with village chief and Maul.

In makes me feel like Death Watch is more closely related to each other as opposed to Satine’s New Mandalorians, in which the social duties (commanding vs serving) is much more strictly followed.

Part II about Guards is coming soon.

17, 30 and finally 83? (DW Ask.)

the fact that it says 'best', makes me feel like i need to be objective with my answer here. Y'see, i have a major soft spot for 'The Two Doctors', and i'd say it's probably my favourite, due to the fact that it contains 2 and 6 and jamie and peri and i just really like how stupid the story is. however, i know it isnt a good story. it has pacing issues, and feels rather ridiculous. long story short, i think the best multi-doctor story is 'The Three Doctors'. 2 and 3's interactions are hilarious, as well as UNIT's and Jo's reactions to the whole situation. it feels rather well paced, and an interesting story (if you can get over the terrible 70's effects). also, Omega. that says all. (or, if i can include non tv dr who stories - the one doctor. big finish did wonders for 6's character, and seeing how far he has progressed from him post regen, to where he is in the story - theyre almost like two separate doctors!)

Peri. Just, Peri. I don't know, i think when i first saw her, i thought she was rather whiney, and falls a lot, and can seem rather dim at times (i saw her in attack of the cybermen, back when i was, like, 13) but rewatching 6's run, made me actually enjoy her character. I must thank Trial of the Timelords for doing most of that work, ngl, because just like 6, the script did her no favours in terms of making her an engaging character, and her and 6's hostility towards each other early on, is funny for a short time, before it gets awfully tiring. At least trial of the timelords (in my eyes) made them warm up to each other, she seems to become more of a person, than someone who mopes and falls (also the books and audios help her character a lot. honestly, i will never not get frustrated at how little her botany knowledge was used in the show (that extends to all dr who companions. they have skills, but the shows constantly ignore it!)) (oh, honourable mentions - frobisher, the shapeshifter stuck as a penguin, adric, ben and polly, graham)

tough question. I would've said 6, however, he can be arrogant and stubborn, and his preference to insult people (even if he likes their company) wouldn't be great for me.. besides, he doesn't like hg wells, so there's no hope there. I would have similar problems with 3, he's stubborn, likes to think of himself as the smartest in the room (which is true most of the time), unwilling to admit when he's wrong half the time.. but he's nice to his companions, only being rude when he's stressed. I feel like his rebellious nature, and love of science would work well for me, plus his sometimes childish behaviour is amusing (and his fashion sense is perfect).. so travelling with him would be fun 2, is much more of a clown than the other two. tumbles a lot, tends to do things on the fly, certainly jokes around a lot more than the others. Underneath all that, he is a very intelligent man, with a wealth of knowledge (and has interests) in many areas. I think travelling with him would be a joy, i mean, i love my puns, however, recorders can hurt my ears sometimes, so that's a major problem... hm.. it's a toss up between 2 and 3

tri. Chapter 5 - Recap, Analysis, Review [part two]

I’m sorry for the delay (and not reacting to the feedback), but it’s been a busy weekend. Hope you like it!

(Check out part one!)

Taichi consoles Meiko, and if you needed any proof that he's had amazing development in this series ­– and how much he's grown since Adventure – this scene is a great example. He's empathic, he's caring, he says the right things at the right moment. Fulfilling his role as a leader, he assures Meiko that she (and Meicoomon) are now part of the group.

Again, this proves that the trip to the hot springs and similar scenes were absolutely essential to the story. You had to show them becoming friends and welcoming Meiko, in order to explain why the Chosen Children care so much about her, and why they don’t see her as an outsider, but as one of them.

(By the way, the new instrumental version of "Butter-fly" that plays during this scene is beautiful!)

And for everyone still complaining about Sora's arc last Chapter, here's the moment when the resolution to her conflict is actually verbalised for the audience. 

Not only has Sora’s learned something about herself (which, if you go back, has been a problem since Adventure), and now she’s putting it into practice, by admitting it openly to others. Moreover, she's using that same information to help Meiko, asking her not to repeat her old mistakes, and not to close herself off from her friends. (This also shows that “character arcs” can span multiple movies, so Hikari will probably receive a far sgare of attention in the next one).

Hikari intervenes too, affirming her faith in the almost mystical connection between partners. 

The message the group conveys to Meiko is solid: trust Meicoomon and trust yourself, don’t give up, and everything will turn out well.

This view may seem a bit idealistic, but it truly reflects the profound conviction these kids have about the special bond between them and their partners. This the reason why they came back, why they're sticking together even though the Reboot erased the digimon's memories. 

Their absolute faith in the group and in their friendship is also stronger than ever, and you see how much they stick out for each other. They take care of their own, no matter what.

These are beliefs that made them succeed so many times over the years, and they've seen how they can do miracles. So it's a tested assumption... even if it's starting to look dangerously naïve.

It can't be a coincidence that Hikari is the one giving the more important speech in the movie. Again, the sequence is telling us a lot about her ­– not only exploring her sensitivity and empathy, but also her strength of purpose and her wisdom beyond her years, which allows her to speak for everyone and verbalise the deeper values of the group. It may be subtle, but this is character development for Hikari, and it’s giving her a type of focus we’ve rarely seen in Adventure or 02. And it all comes into play later, when Hikari’s certainties receive an incredible blow near the end of the movie.

Another important motivation established here is Taichi’s decision to protect their digimon friends, even in the face of criticism. Again, it’s another indication that Taichi is overcoming the hesitation he was facing earlier, and is ready to step up into the fight.

Basically, the scene around the fire shows Meiko’s current emotional state, but it’s also very much about the core motivations of the other Chosen Children. 

This isn't a just a pep talk for Meiko; it’s telling us what these kids are fighting for, what they believe in, and why they make the decisions they make later on. Moreover, their certainties and their idealism are heavily contrasted with Meiko’s bleaker outlook.

*

Hackmon announces Homeostasis’ decision to remove Libra, now that the Reboot failed, before things get worse. He also ads a bit of clarity regarding Meicoomon’s different forms: she hasn't been evolving, but rather mutating.

Daigo is isn't accepting this sudden change of strategy, because he thought they were protecting Meicoomon. Especially when Hackmon also reveals that Homeostasis is cooperating with the government to destroy Meicoomon. Daigo's position is too low for him to have any influence. He’s confused, angry, and he's probably feeling used – and now that Maki is out of the picture, his loyalties aren’t certain anymore. And Hackmon rubs salt in the wound by making allusions to what happened when he was a Chosen Child. (Does this suggest that Homeostasis considers that previous mission a failure?)

Finally, Hackmon reiterates Homeostasis’ agenda – they're on the side of stability and don't care about anything else, much less the feelings of a bunch of petty humans regarding a "contaminant".

It's starting to look that Maki isn't the only former chosen with unresolved issues...

*

Whatever, Tentomon. (I laughed, but he’s a bad influence on Koushirou.) 

Oh, and let’s discuss how Tailmon is still able to stay an Adult level permanently, despite having lost all of her memories of being abused and trained under Vamdemon. This is a pretty glaring contradictions that needs be explained. Is this just a lazy overview by the writers? Or are we're supposed to accept that "old" Tailmon is still there somewhere, unconciscously holding back to her former self? This is really ambiguous regarding all the Digimon – but remember Nyaromon and the whistle? Is this a set up for the inevitable scene where everyone regains their memories?

The Chosen children speculate that the reboot as changed things somehow. Hikari states that they're going to be kicked out. and then, they’re lured outside the cave by a very familiar setting...

The sudden appearance of the nostalgic scenario could suggest that maybe there's a small part of the DW that's still on their side. On the other hand, it could very well be a way to lure them out of the cave in order to expel them. As they leave the Digital World, we immediately get a reaction from Mystery Man, which I think suggests that the latter is more likely. 

After all, they are being returned to a world in the middle of a digimon crisis, which they know nothing about, plunged directly into a crowded street of hostile, scared people and police...

*

Food for thought: at this moment it seems that the populace identifies the monsters as digimon – which didn't happen in Chapter 1&2. Could it be that the government has changed its policy (under Homeostasis?) and is now publicly identifying the monsters as digimon in public and though the media?

*

Oh, and as they escape the police, Taichi keeps holding Meiko's hand at random situations so Taichi/Meiko is officially not a crack ship anymore!

*

This entire sequence of the escape, the interrogation, and the scene between Daigo and the cop is something we haven’t seen before in this universe and I found it super compelling. It's the first time the kids are actually confronted with the authorities over their involvement with the Digimon, which is something I've wanted to see for a very long time. It’s a pity it was solved so quickly.

At this point, however, the Chosen Children’s status in the real world is going through siginificant changes. 

First, it seems that Daigo has gone rogue to help the Chosen Children ­and is acting on his own – which is perfectly consistent with him no longer trusting Homeostasis or his superiors, but it’s also possibly illegal. He has the parents’ consents, but does he have the Agency’s consent? Did Daigo just turn the Chosen Children into outlaws?

It's also very interesting to wonder who leaked their identities and addresses to the media, and why. If their identities are finally being revealed to the public at large, this will have very serious consequences in their personal lives. 

 * 

By the way, where did Meiko get that new pair of glasses?!

* 

Stuck at the school, the Chosen Children realise how serious the situation is, we continue to see how far Taichi has gone since the start of the series. 

His first reaction is to urge is urging the others to stay calm, saying they can't fight randomly or things will get bad. Yamato immediately interprets this as Taichi falling back into his previous hesitation and inability to fight -- and gets angry at him. But Taichi explains that he's just acting cautious, for the sake of the world and everyone. He’s not running away anymore. Yamato gets this, and agrees.

Again, this shows that Taichi has actually listened to what Yamato has been telling him since Chapter 1. He’s no longer questioning the need to fight or running away from problems - but he’s also no longer the reckless 11-year-old he used to be. Taichi’s grown up - and Yamato has played a crucial role in this.

After Daigo tells them about Homeostasis' plans for Meicoomon, Meiko (who's still not convinced) concludes that Meicoomon is an undesired existence, and therefore she is an undesired partner. Taichi intervenes by telling Meikomon that Meicoomon desires her, and everyone agrees.

Considering the destruction Meicoomon has caused, she's now questioning her friend’s optimism and their plan, which is to to somehow “get to” Meicoomon through Meiko, stopping her, and saving the day. Once again, Meiko isn’t being mopey and defeatist ­– this is a reasonable standpoint, and possibly the more pragmatic one. While the Chosen Children are still placing their hope on Meicoomon’s ability to be redeemed as a partner Digimon and are apparently unable to conceive a scenario where this plan doesn’t work, Meiko is willing to imagine the opposite.

Again, this conversation establishes the growing division between Meiko and the other Chosen Children’s optimism. Meiko’s starting to consider the worst possible scenario, while the others are still fixed on their enduring belief that the “sacred partner” bond will solve everything -- and even Daigo is in the same boat! Meiko’s dilemma is that, after what she’s seen, she can’t quite believe all their talk about hope.

The way I see it, this shows that Meiko’s actually being fairly reasonable here in the face of an incredibly painful dilemma for her, and it’s *the other kids* are still far too stuck in their naïve worldview.

Omg D&D Nights with the Squads

Saw a post and now this is in my head. My paras form little families because they’re in different stories\realities—other madders get it I’m sure. If they played dnd...

JS, JG, ES, WT, HB, and Me:

JS would be a swashbuckler, JG would be a drunken monk, ES would be a fighter, WT would be a rogue, HB would be some homebrew shit to eff you up, I would be the DM. HB and JS would roast each other constantly, as they do out of game. WT would try to flirt with ES in character but she just wants to fight monsters and doesn’t even notice. JS would constantly try to do the craziest bs possible like disguising himself as a cleric to break into cults and trying to seduce literally everything to get out of problems. Including inanimate objects. Would also lowkey be trying to seduce the DM irl, which HB would call him out on as “cheating”, ES would be like “no let him finish” because she wants to win things, and JG would be irl drinking at the table making quiet snide comments. They’d probably end up as criminals, if they didn’t already start the game that way.

RT, ET, WD, PP, and Me:

RT would be some whimsical magic class, ET would actually want to play the game, WD would be a paladin or cleric, PP would be a Bard. If him and RT were both Bards they would bounce from hating that the other person is a Bard to teaming up and saying “it’s a bards only thing” “Bard Brothers Only” all the time. I would be DM. WD is only playing because PP is there and I wanted another girl in the group. PP tries to be less annoying because he knows I could attack his character—he doesn’t know I wouldn’t because I’d joke about doing so all the time. The group doesn’t like fighting very much, they prefer to rp more. They would cling to the first weird creature they found that wasn’t hostile and make it their mascot. Probably a green flying pig or something. RT would keep trying to use oneliners on NPCs but would never roll high enough to seduce, meanwhile ET wouldn’t even try and somehow succeed. WD would be super nice and kind to everyone, act as the moral compass. But if PP’s character is threatened, WD gon cut a bitch

GL, LF, and Me:

GL actually suggested the game at first, but once they’d played a couple oneshots he decided to run a campaign. It’s pretty monster-of-the-week but the banter between them makes it fun, and the unlimited alcohol they get for having it at GL’s tavern makes it even better. GL likes describing the fights so everything is really detailed and gorey, but that also makes it feel more badass when you kill something. LF is a Bard, I’m a Rogue, we have issues healing ourselves but I steal potions as easy as breathing. Sometimes GL will surprise them with cool magic items. Honestly OP, but just a fun hang out game and an excuse to get together.

DW, SW, CF, GA, CA, and Me:

DW acts too cool for it when it’s first suggested but then he is the DM and geeks out every game. I’m completely invested and love each game night. It’s less fighting than expected, a lot of mysteries, and a lot of hijinks caused by GA who picked Chaotic Neutral Trickster Cleric. SW loves his Wizard character and has the longest backstory. CA didn’t know a thing about the game at first but becomes a walking Rulebook after two sessions. Nobody is really sure how I convinced CF to play, he never seems truly happy to be there, but he also never misses a game. He goes out of his way to annoy the DM. He hasn’t told anyone anything about his backstory or alignment but multiple players are convinced he picked Lawful Evil. They’re right. He’s currently planning to tpk the party and I’m the only one who’s noticed. Instead of saving the others I have created an escape plan, ready to run at any moment. CF knows and is planning to kill me first as a result, but he’s waiting for the right moment to spring the plan. GA has a way for his character to come back to life so he doesn’t care. He spends the game trying to flirt with SW because it makes SW uncomfortable, although sometimes GA does genuinely flirt with me instead. DW ruins the moment. One time with a mind flayer. GA laid off the flirting for a session after that.

G&D Unit:

SM would be so good at the game that everyone thinks his dice are rigged, likely rolled more nat 20s than anyone has ever rolled ever. NJ is a tired DM boi in the end. SP also has incredible luck, but also tries to pull the stupidest stunts. Drinking games in-game are popular for the squad.

FBAWTF Unit:

The group is DMed by me, and it’s Pirate Themed. YN is the most excited to learn. YD has played before. YG tries to seduce every male NPC and ends up with a jealous harem in-game that becomes a plot point, much to his regret. YS is the sassy one-liner guy. All of them like to make fun of the pirate theme and joke about bringing in JD to voice the characters and embarrass me. It would never happen so it doesn’t annoy me enough to actually get me angry. They have a bout of bad luck and summon a kraken that ends up chasing them. YS ends up left behind in a rowboat to save themselves and has to roll a new character. He makes a pirate who wants revenge for a mutiny his crew committed, and stares specifically at YD (who first suggested leaving his character in a rowboat) every time his backstory comes up.

FB Unit:

JK DMs the game! NS chose a Ranger and took a small wildcat as his animal companion. It took TG a while to get used to how magic works, she took Wizard. QG took Cleric, I took Sorcerer. QG is the classic Lawful Good Cleric and is the moral compass usually, although none of us really want to do evil things. As a Neutral Good character sometimes I suggest stealing something to make stuff easier for us, but it’s 60/40 whether it actually happens. Everything is a debate. We like rp-ing, and JK does THE BEST voices. I’m honestly always laughing at his jokes even when the others don’t get it. QG tries not to meta game even though she can always tell what JK is planning. NS tries to adopt every single monster we encounter regardless of its alignment or if it has already begun to attack us. He succeeds nearly always, so we’re a lot lower level than we probably should be. But we have a pet dragon so goals.

DR, JPT, CO, and Me:

DR DMs the games and is always geeking out about it. Has extremely indepth world-building and a lot of intrigue plots. Not a lot of fighting at all, although JPT can get gung ho about it sometimes. CO is the healer and has the highest charisma so she deals with that. I’m the Rogue so I do a lot of recon. JPT flirts with everyone as shamelessly as he does in real life. Used to lay it on thick with CO and I but he realized that DR gets extremely flustered when he flirts with him, and that always makes me crack tf up, so he does that even more. He seems to live for making us break character. CO brings us back to the game. There’s one NPC that DR made have a crush on me and JPT always gets annoyed when he pops up again, and I’m suspicious that DR did this as revenge but he always looks so innocent about it I will never be sure. Despite the excitement, dnd night is probably the calmest part of our days.

SB, JP, RL, and Me:

I DM the game. RL comes up with the best strategies that almost always work. SB is the one—there’s always one—that tries to charm his way out of everything. He wasn’t sure he’d like rp but he’s a natural. JP plays an idiot and it’s hilarious. SB and him have formed a duo within their trio and they play off of each other beautifully. The entire game has become a classic comedy with RL as the straightfaced man to play jokes off of. They once went shopping for half the game and yet it was the funniest fucking thing that had happened so far. Although a highlight was SB and JP making a convoluted break-in plan where they almost both fell off a roof and RL just walking in and stealing the item they all wanted and walking out. It’s all very true to life.
