memories and scars

blade x fem!bodied reader

cw: protected sex (woah a change for the first time in months lmfao), very soft and sweet, a little angsty at the beginning, oral + fingering, petnames (sweetheart, honey, baby)

note; blade may be (totally is) out of character, i have no clue about why and how he got those scars on his back / shoulders and that part is all just made up by me 

oh and also, if you got any headcanons to share that you would love to have something written for, my inbox is always open 🩷

distracted by the music you were listening to on your headphones, you didn‘t notice the bathroom being occupied by blade. 

“oh, i’m sorry! didn’t mean to bar- blade?”, your tone was suddenly worried. it had been a couple of weeks since you were officially together and you had never seen him shirtless, so the amount of scars on his back scared you immensely. 

“sweetheart, calm down, everything’s fine”, he immediately tried to calm you down. “i‘m okay, nothing to worry about. let me get out and i‘ll explain.“

“o-okay”, you mumbled, leaving the bathroom and impatiently waiting for him to come out. when he did, he was only in his shorts; not wearing a shirt because he didn‘t expect you to be back so soon and thought he‘d would be able to cover his scars with some piece of clothing as he always did, so he simply forgot to take a t-shirt with him. 

blade was always aware that one day you‘d see them, ask him about them and how he got them. he was always just mentally preparing for the day he had to open up about this — he simply did not expect for it to happen this fast. 

‘this fast‘ was an overstatement; you both had known each other for over two years already, having met when the astral express had arrived on xianzhou and shortly before he left with kafka. you had immediately caught his attention and he simply could not forget about you for one moment. meeting for the second time, shortly afterwards, he had left a message for you to find him in a hidden corner. 

despite knowing it was a bad idea, you couldn‘t help the adrenaline rush through your veins at doing something no one of the astral express would consider smart. 

after exchanging numbers with the stellaron hunter, you kept finding yourself texting him whenever your investigations hit a snag just to talk about it. surprisingly, you both clicked very well, to the point that he asked you out at some point throughout those two years you had known each other. 

your relationship wasn’t official until around two months ago, however. you sometimes didn’t manage to contact each other, after all, you both were considered two different sides for the people you were affiliated with, which kind of delayed the obvious direction you two were headed and you just couldn’t help but fall in love with the stellaron hunter. 

blade had always been insanely attentive with you – always enjoyed showing off that you were the only one who mattered to him in his life except for his job. he never let anyone or anything get between you two and despite the protests you had received from march, you two started dating when you both finally decided to make a move. 

“what are those scars, blade?”, you finally asked him after sitting in silence for a bit. “what happened to you?” 

your voice was shaking, you just couldn’t imagine what he possibly could have gone through to have such extreme scars on his back and his arms. 

“it’s a long story”, he tried to avoid explaining everything, not wanting to see you cry because of how horrible his childhood had been. 

“i don’t care if we sit here until tomorrow so you can tell me everything, blade! i just want to know. please?” 

you cursed yourself for already sounding so weak and felt a tear roll down your cheek. he sighed before he nodded and started talking about how he got his scars, how kafka had gotten him out of there. 

“i never really talk about this so i just wanted to wait with telling you, sweetheart. not that i didn’t trust you, i guess i just needed to get ready for this kind of revelation about my past”, he ended his explanation. 

“i am so sorry this all happened to you”, you mumbled. “can i… uhm, see them? properly this time?” 

blade nodded as he turned around, shivering as you brushed his hair away and he startled when he felt your lips touch his skin, specifically over his scars. you softly caressed the healed wounds of torture the man you loved had to endure for years on end until kafka had saved him. 

“i love you”, you mumbled against his shoulder, placing yet another gentle kiss, this time on his neck. he turned back around to face you, eyes going up and down from your eyes to your lips before he leaned down and kissed you. 

you were absolutely startled by how sudden his lips were on yours and placed your one hand on his cheek and the other one intertwining with his hand as he pushed you down underneath him on the bed.

“i love you”, he finally said; your eyes widening because despite you having already said those three sweet words, he had never done this, at least not yet. 

you had been okay with him not being ready to say it yet, being patient for him to figure out his feelings for you and your heart fluttered in happiness when he finally told you how he truly felt about you. 

“never once in my life i thought i would feel this way about someone. but you… you brought out something in me i never thought i would be even able to feel. and i’m happy that i got to experience this with you, sweetheart.” 

before you could say anything else, he leaned down again, kissing you softly once more and you just melted into his grip on your body. 

it just felt so natural as he slowly pulled off the clothes you had on and him practically worshiping your body with his gentle kisses and touches. 

“you are so perfect, sweetheart”, he mumbled against your tummy, making you giggle as it tickled, him also laughing at how adorable you were. 

blade leaned forward to the bedside drawer and pulled out a foiled package, ripping it open and wrapping the condom over his cock. but before he did anything, he made sure to ask whether you were ready for sure. 

“are you sure about this?”, he mumbled against your neck, planting soft kisses to your jaw as you nodded and placed a soft peck on your lips before he finally aligned his tip with your entrance and slowly sinking into you, letting out a groan as your tight walls engulfed him, burying his face against your neck, closer to you more than he would ever been able to until this exact moment. 

“oh, sweetheart, you feel so good”, he started nipping on your neck, as he started building up a steady rhythm.

he wasn’t fast or too rough; instead he was trying to be as gentle and soft with how he fucked you, careful not to hurt you. 

“blade”, you whimpered, clinging onto his back with your hands, “it feels so– so good.” 

“oh, yeah? does it, sweetheart?”, he chuckled, taking one of your hands and intertwining your fingers as he increased his pace, making you close your eyes in bliss. 

“i’m so proud of you, baby, you’re taking me so well”, he mumbled. “you’re doing so, so good.” 

the constant praises and checking up on how you were doing made your heart flutter in happiness, how did someone like blade even fall in love with you? 

“please”, you whimpered, letting out a cry when he teased your clit with his thumb, chuckling at how adorable your little reactions were. “i’m so close.” 

“yeah? you’re close, honey? then come for me, baby. come for me just how you want to. like you deserve to, sweetheart.” 

he let out a groan as he as well got closer to his release and finally reached the moment of pure bliss, his body tensing, being completely still for a moment as he let out a bunch of curses. 

when he realized that you had yet to find your release despite telling him you were close, he didn’t hesitate to pull out and go down on you, wrapping his lips around your clit as he sucked on the bundle of sensitive nerves. 

“mhm, you taste so good, sweetheart. can’t believe i managed to hold myself off for so long from you”, he mumbled, also slowly inserting two of his fingers inside as he stimulated you with his mouth and his fingers at the same time. 

blade smiled triumphantly as you finally came around his fingers and breathlessly laid on the bed. 

when he laid down next to you, he looked at you with a grin and you both just started laughing. “oh, wow, i can’t believe this actually just happened”, you mumbled, cuddling up against him as he wrapped his arm around you. 

“me neither, sweetheart. me neither”, he whispered, kissing you on your cheek before he just cuddled back up against you, and shortly after falling asleep with you in his arms.

Learning to Love Slowly

Jason Todd x Reader All Chapters AO3

25- Jason's Girlfriend and The Dark Knight

“What do you think she’s like?” Stephanie asked as she spun around in the chair in front of the bat computer. “Jason’s girlfriend, I mean.”

Tim, leaning against the table off to her side, snickered. “Probably smart-mouthed like Jason.” Damian nodded silently in agreement as he sharpened his swords next to him. 

Duke paused his daydreaming to add in, “Dick said she was nice. Very down-to-Earth.” Cassandra then signed that she had heard the same about you. 

Bruce listened to his three kids as he restocked the med-bay across the cave, thinking about what you were like, too. Jason said you were great, but Bruce knew everyone had different definitions of ‘great’--especially with rose-colored glasses on. Dick, though, was a social butterfly that inherently saw the good in most people, so it wouldn’t be too far off that if you had any malicious intent for his brother he could be oblivious to it. Your background check came back clean, not so much as a traffic ticket, but that could also mean you were good at hiding things.

Despite that, Bruce remembered the sincereness in Jason’s voice when he said you were great and the smile that followed after. Genuine content is what Jason seemed to have, a small sign that something was going good in his life. You couldn’t be that bad if you managed to make the most angsty of his children express some sort of happiness in front of him.  

Stephanie suddenly gasped, grabbing the edge of the table to stop her spinning. She pointed at the camera showing the foyer. “She’s here!”

Bruce whipped his head around to look at the camera to see you just leaving out of frame with Jason following behind you. From what little he could see, he thought you were pretty, but beauty did not equal goodness. 

The three of them took off upstairs, all clamoring about getting all the juicy gossip about their brother since Dick could only provide so little. Bruce slowly followed them, still slightly worried as any father would be. 

You were in the living room after having left the kitchen, Jason next to you with an arm thrown behind your shoulders on the back of the couch. From what Bruce could see, you were startled at first by four teens and a little boy practically running up to you two. Jason tried shielding you from the crowd, but you welcomed it with as much grace as you could. 

Surprisingly, you were quiet--Not silent, but your voice was softer than Bruce imagined. Why had he expected someone with more loudness considering that Jason was often soft-spoken himself? 

When Bruce entered Dick instantly noticed him, quickly shutting everyone up to point out that their father was there. Loudly, Dick called out, “Bruce!” He turned to you. “Have you met Bruce? Brucie Wayne? The Dark Knight?”

Bruce moved toward the two of you, moving to take the free armchair right across from you. When you started to get up to shake his hand, he only told you that no formalities like that were necessary. “It’s nice to meet you, Mr. Wayne.”

“You too,” He said, still astonished at how soft your voice was. “The drive over was okay?”

You nodded, while Jason snickered saying something along the lines that no one in Gotham could drive to save their lives. Leaning into him, you mumbled something that caused him to wrinkle his nose jokingly at you causing you to giggle a bit. 

Bruce said your name and that got your attention, “Are you from Gotham?”

“Born and raised. I grew up not too far from here,” You stated with a grin. “Just a bit closer to the city.”

“Rich kid?” Stephanie asked teasingly. 

You shook your head. “Not really. It’s a long story.”

“What do you think of animals?” Damian interjected before anyone else could get a chance to ask you a question. 

Pretending to ponder on the question for a moment, you finally answered. “Love ‘em. Jay says you’re big on animals, like all of them.”

“I am, that information is correct.”

Tim finally got to ask his question before Damian went on his usual tangent about animals that bore anyone to death. “Do you work for any Gotham villains?”

“In this economy?” You were shocked, leaning back against the couch, a bit offended. “I wouldn’t be able to make rent.”

Bruce chuckled. “Then, what do you do for work?”

You smiled. “I work at Gotham University in the IT department. It’s easier to be at work and attend class when you work on campus.” 

For the next half hour, Bruce and the others threw questions at you like you were being interviewed for a position at the house. Which, in a way, you were. Jason sat up next to you with pride as if to say yeah, you were awesome and his girlfriend. So far, Bruce had to agree with Dick and Jason. You were great, nice, and seemed normal compared to seven vigilantes and counting that were not around you. Which, in Wayne Manor, normalcy was so foreign. 

Tim and Damian, who had quickly chalked up the idea of you being loud just because you were Jason’s partner, quickly changed their minds upon further talking to you. The three of you seemed to share the same common interests, and the ones you didn’t, you wanted to ask about. You seemed like a genuinely nice person who wanted to know the family Jason grew up in, which Bruce was more than pleasantly surprised with. 

Eventually, when the questions had died down, you finally asked, “I was wondering, Mr. Wayne, do you have any pictures of Jay when he was a kid?”

Jason groaned. “I knew you were going to ask that!”

Bruce got up almost instantly, willing to show any pictures he had of little, chubby, and rosy-cheeked Jay to anyone who asked. Within minutes after disappearing he returned with several thick-bound photo albums. Everyone collectively groaned and now you felt like you bit off a bit more than you could chew. 

“Why do I feel like I girl bossed a little too close to the sun,” You stated. 

Jason leaned over to whisper in your ear, “Regret asking now?”

“No,” You grinned despite feeling a bit of regret. “I’m hoping there’s a picture of you in your red pill helmet.”

Every passing second Jason was regretting bringing home, but, at the same time, he felt it was so right. 

Bruce slapped the top of the stack of books, grinning at you. “I’m having Alfred put on a pot of coffee now as we speak, this will take a while.”

>:) give me your opinions

cody

izzy

noah

gwent

nizzy

nocowen

ALRIGHT, LET’S DO THIS!

(sorry if anything doesn’t make sense or if things are worded poorly)

cody -

cody is SUCH a fun character. he’s a clever guy, he puts others before himself, he’s silly, and he can be really funny! i loved him in island, i loved him in world tour, and if he ever shows up anywhere again, i’ll probably love him there too. he’s also my classic silly-guy-who-i-love-to-put-in-angsty-situations character (every hyperfixation i’ve ever had, there’s always one. except for the alphabet. there is no angst silly guy in the alphabet.). he’s also probably one of my favourite guys to ship (alongside geoff who doesn’t have a single bad ship). he’s so pathetic with romance. a guy is nice to him for one second and he melts. what a pathetic wet cat of a man. (for the amount of content i make of him, you’d think he’s one of my favourite characters, but surprisingly he isn’t!!)

izzy -

THERE IS SOMETHING INCREDIBLY WRONG WITH THIS WOMAN. i love it when characters are completely unhinged because of the comedic potential. izzy is a joy to watch (and make content of!!), she’s just a crazy girl who has committed several crimes against humanity. she’s also really funny in dramarama! i see a little bit of my past self in her. only a little bit though. i wasn’t that crazy (i think…). she’s got great dynamics with a lot of my favourite characters, her dynamic with eva and noah being my favourite. anyways i love this violent woman. i’d let her stab me, probably. just as a treat.

noah -

one of the funniest characters of the series, hands down. every joke with him is SPOT ON, this man is loaded with some fantastic quips and sarcastic remarks. one of the best parts of world tour, 100%. usually i have a lot more to say about him but right now i’m struggling to think of anything so i’m just going to say we need more transfem noah content in this world.

gwent -

the POTENTIAL this ship had! of the canon ships, this one is probably one of the best. they were great in season one, i love how they got along, how they interacted, and how their relationship changed overtime. unfortunately, action had to derail their relationship, which really sucked because they were so good together! they had great chemistry, and they were two of the saner characters of the series (not saying much, but hey). i will never be able to get over the fact they replaced this wholesome couple with gwuncan. :(

nizzy -

i’m assuming this is noah and izzy?? their dynamic has potential to be good, noah would be like the straight man to izzy (ironic), but i definetly prefer them as friends. not much else to say.

nocowen -

a ship containing three of my favourite characters AND is related to my favourite ship?! sign me up! i’m not the biggest fan of noco, but the nowen and cowen parts are something i could definetly enjoy. they’re dynamic would be really interest — cody and owen are mostly positive people filled with energy, and noah is a pessimist who just wants to lay on the ground and wait for the world to end. also, i love the fact that because noah is super smart, most of his ships are of him and some guy who will die if you don’t pay enough attention to what they’re doing!!

i hope these answers are good enough for you! again, i’m sorry if anything is worded weird.

#honestly i expected some of these to be much longer but! they’re not! #thanks for the ask :> #td noah #td izzy #td cody #td owen #td gwen #td trent #nizzy #nocowen #gwent #total drama #td #mia has a stupid thought #ask answered!

[cartoonslovers]

smokey headcanons (some are angsty, does contain spoilers)

Every time he goes out to perhaps patrol a perimeter with whoever (Arcee, Bumblebee, etc) he gets interested by something and gets distracted. For example a shiny rock, a cool looking lizard, a tree bent in a weird way, doesn't matter. If it catches his intrest, nothing else matters.

If he's mad, he'll sit in his alt form for hours just outside of base. Just sits on the side of the road, pounting.

Since he has a pretty flashy alt mode, he has likely had a human try and break into him. And he's definitely revealed his form because of that. Imagine waking up and some dude is shattering your windows.

He really, really hates bugs. They look like scraplets, and he hates scraplets. (More angsty part on that later.)

Jack showed him subway serfers, and now he'll occasionally watch him play subway serfers.

Literally a menace to the Decepticons. He enjoys going out and finding Decepticons wherever he can, just to troll them. Like Miko would help him make glitter bombs or really thin magnets with stupid stuff on them and he'd just troll the cons.

He takes stuff too seriously. I mean, Raf could call him a smart cookie maybe one time and that's all he'll think about. Like, 'What is a cookie? Is it smart? Am I a cookie?' and eventually he'll just go ask Raf what it means.

He really likes the rain. If it's raining out, he's also out. Just driving on the road in the rain, and that's it. Maybe he'll take one of the kids, but he's just driving out on the road while it's raining probably listening to something by Glass Animals or Panic! At The Disco.

Whenever he's excited, he'll bounce around a little. Flappy doorwings for sure, and he just won't stop talking. And this goes for any emotion, it's the doorwings that will give you the signs (I'll add a little drabble at the end)

He's definitely tried running on a frozen over lake whenever he's groundbridged to somewhere he needs to be. And he falls through. And someone has to save him. And he has to go back to base because he's shivering like a leaf, but he just sits in there with his heaters on pounting with his arms crossed because he wants to go back out.

Now for the angsty headcannons >:)

He cannot stand being ignored whatsoever. Like he gets really sad whenever he's ignored, and then he just shuts up until someone acknowledges him but his mood is down for the rest of the day.

Claustrophobia. After spending that time held captive by the Decepticons, he hates enclosed spaces. Just being in one makes him anxious, but being locked in one might make him have a full on panic attack. And bringing weapons in while he's in there is a big no no.

I headcannon he was interrogated, and potentially tortured in the hands of the Decepticons. Fighting Decepticons, he's alright. But being threatened by a ally, not so much.

Because of that, he might wake up sometimes at night and then go to someone else's room. Mostly he goes to Ratchet, surprisingly since he's always awake. Perhaps Ratchet is actually in the main section of the base, and while he works he talks to Smokescreen about other stuff from before the war until he falls asleep from exhaustion. And then Ratchet just stays in the main section of the base with Smokey until he wakes up.

He hates heights. Panicked of falling down, constantly observing and watching his step if he's near a ravine. In that case if he's with Bumblebee, Bee will hold his hand. He just takes his hand which does calm him down a little. Maybe Bee also hates heights, so he does this to comfort them both.

Now for some doorwing drabbles

Doorwings held real high either means he's shocked, on edge, or spooked.

Doorwings held low either means he's sad, scared, or trying to be sneaky.

Doorwings flapping shows happiness, or excitement for something.

He'll hold them up really high and extend them outwards to make him self appear bigger if he's fighting a enemy larger than him.

Similar to what Bee does, and also kind of like Starscream.

Thank u for having me 👏 I may or may not be back with more Smokescreen drabbles in the future (if that's alright with you)

Oh my goodness. Smokey Flapping his doorwings when he's happy or excited is just so perfect for him. Also him can't standing being ignored is so sad. I accept these as Canon op

Please write something angsty with Flo <3 with reader comforting her, pretty please

you got it!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was waiting for Florence at the hotel. She was currently in a Valentino event with her mom while I stayed back watching movies. I was also thinking non stop about the dress. It was just so perfect on her. The color, the fabric, the sheerness...

I always tried to remind Florence how absolutely gorgeous she is and always has been. Which is why I quickly sensed how low key nervous she was to wear it. Her breasts were showing. Of course, I didn't mind at all but she was scared about what people may think, which is completely normal.

The door clicked, making me look down at my phone to see the time. It was 2 am and surprisingly, I was still awake. I heard heels click against the floors as they spoke in almost whispers. Debbie walked off to her room as Flo walked to ours, where she quietly opened the door.

"Love? Are you awake?" She almost whispered, walking slowly inside to see you leaning against the headboard with a smile. "You are, I see."

"I am." I giggled, crawling to the front of the bed. "I wanted to wait for you... so I could take this dress off myself." 

“Oh did you?” Florence muttered, walking towards me. 

“I did...” I smirked, leaning in closer to her as she cupped my cheeks. 

“Well? Are you gonna take it off or not?” She muttered causing you to chuckle before finally connecting our lips together. 

My hands trailed to Flo’s lower back to find the zipper to slowly push it down. She unclipped the top, causing it to fall to reveal her uncovered breasts. I parted from her lips and trailed my kissed down her jaw to her collarbone and finally, her breasts which began the pleasure of the night.

The next morning, I woke up due to the sun in my eyes and since I didn’t want to get out of bed just yet, I turned to cuddle with Flo. But instead, I touched cold sheets. I sat up and began to look around the room to see Florence sitting at the edge of the bed as she scrolled through her phone. 

I began to crawl to her and heard some sniffling causing me to frown as I wrapped my arms around her. We stayed quiet for a bit. I didn’t want to push her so I just hugged her and whispered sweet nothings into her ear until she stopped crying. Florence turned to me with red puffy eyes and tear stained cheeks as she sniffled. 

“What happened?” I whispered, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear. 

“So many people are commenting on my body... and my breasts..” She sniffled before looking up at me. “And they’re all men! Those fucking bastards.” 

“Don’t listen to them.” I began, cupping her face so she would look at me. “You are the most perfect woman I’ve ever met. You’re so smart and funny and so fucking talented.”

She chuckled before I continued. “All of those things that they’re mentioning are what makes you, you. You’re this beautiful confident woman and those dumbasses just wanna tear you down for no reason.”

“I know, babe... Ugh, I know.” Florence groaned, wiping the tears away. “And you’re right. You know I would never let this get to me but just- I don’t know.” 

“It’s normal for comments to get to you.” I shrugged, scooching closer to her. “They’re mean and hurtful but they’re not true... and that’s what you have to remember.” 

“I know, love. I know.” She whispered and looked down at her hands before looking up at me. “You always know what to say.” 

“I love you more than anything, Flo.” I whispered, cupping her cheek. “I will always be here for you, okay?” 

She nodded and leaned into my hand before connecting our lips together. My hand moved to the back of her neck, pulling her closer as the kiss turned passionate. We parted to catch some air and I took her hand as I moved up the bed again with her following suit. 

I laid on the bed, head back on the pillow and Flo laid next to me, turning on her side to face me. I placed my hand on her cheek as she sniffled before I moved closer to her. Florence licked her lips and traced her fingertips over my nose and down my cheek. 

“I’m so in love with you.” She whispered, playing with my necklace. 

“And I’m in love with you, my beautifully perfect woman.” I said with a smile before leaning forward to kiss her lips softly 

And as usual, the kiss began to get heated again. Our bodies moved in perfect sync and fit together like puzzle pieces. I kept reminding her how perfect she was every chance I got. Like when I kissed down her chest, her stomach, her legs. Even right before she orgasmed and as she orgasmed which she looked even more perfect while it happened.

[waitingtobebroken]

hey! is there a reason you don’t have a name in your profile? i wanted to greet you with it and then realized there was no name i could use :( here are some random asks anyways: what’s your favorite drink? what’s the last fanfic you read? what song would you recommend right now? do you prefer writing sad or happy stories? what’s your dream s3 scenario? 💖

Hey! Thank you so much for the ask 🥺 I grew up at a time when you were not supposed to tell anyone on the internet anything personal, so having people know my name still freaks me out a little bit!!! Sorry about that!

My favourite drink is iced coffee (I know, so basic!) The last two fanfics I read and absolutely adored were "and now all of my garden is grown in lavender" by ilikeblue - A fake relationship AU that is just so adorable and sweet and has the most amazing feel to it! I cannot recommend it enough! And the other is "Tales of Turning Pages" by @foolishlovers - Another human AU and the characterisation is just delightful. Aziraphale is an amazing flirt and Crowley is a precious oblivious baby but also so very smart and charming! Both are still WIP but they are really fun!!!

You have caught me on a day I've spent listening to the Glass Animals, so... Definitely Wyrd - Glass Animals. It sounds really fun and trippy but once you start listening to it, it's surprisingly dark! It's about the inevitability of your destiny and just... Go listen to it right now, haha!

Um, I like to write both, I think? It really depends on the way I feel on a given day. Like, sometimes the amazing people on my dash would not stop torturing me with ANGST for days and my brain would be incapable of writing anything nice and light and sometimes I'll just wake up, feeling silly. I don't think that one is more important than the other, there should be a nice little balance. That said, most of my favourite fics are definitely on the angsty side.

I did write something set during a theoretical season 3, so I think that, perhaps? It's called Haunted By Something Still Alive and it's about Crowley being a nanny to the reincarnation of Jesus, a sweet little girl named Mary. It's very angsty and deals heavily with the fallout of Aziraphale and Crowley's relationship. But if I could choose, really, I would like it to go like this (obviously, since I wrote it and I've always been my target audience anyway haha). I do want them to suffer a little bit, I would feel very disappointed if Crowley just completely disregards what happened and acts like everything is fine. But I would also feel like it's out of character if he is intentionally cruel to Aziraphale! So I find it ideal for him to help Aziraphale but also put some distance between them, to protect himself mostly. But also because it would emphasise how close they used to be and how much Aziraphale misses that! (Gosh, this turned into an essay, I'm so sorry!)

Thank you so much for the ask, this was so fun and it really made me think!!!

魂兵之戈/"Jiang Chao Ge and the Spirit Weapon" by Shui Qian Cheng

I can't believe this is my 10th SQC novel!

I always thought of SQC as the queen of dogblood scum gong crematoriums novels angsty urban romantic drama, but her action-adventure stuff is surprisingly fun and engaging!

Synopsis

Ruthless businessman Jiang Chaoge accidentally gets transported to an alternate universe that is built around Spirit Weapons. In this universe, the spirits of everything from mice to mythical beasts can be sealed into items made from their remains, and then summoned in their full form to perform the bidding of compatible humans who have special spirit powers.

(Someone on Weibo called it "Shaman King but with monsters from Chinese Mythology" and I can't stop about the story any other way now.)

Jiang Chaoge unwittingly proves himself to be compatible with a highly-coveted spirit weapon. He must figure out how to cultivate spirit powers, survive in this new world, defend against others who also want his spirit weapon, all while looking after an ill-tempered mythical spirit in the body of the most unruly toddler, whose real identity is his gong seems to be much more troubling that he already seems.

Hoping to return to his own world, Jiang Chaoge embarks on a dangerous mission with a gang of new friends, and eventually discovers the terrible secrets that may seal the fates of both worlds.

What I like about the story

Complex (and a little sue-ish) protagonist. Jiang Chaoge is a machiavellian business man, always analyzing the situation and trying to find the best deals for himself. He is an orphan street rat who had to learn to be ruthless to survive, and continues to be cynical, suspicious, manipulative, and unapologetically self-centered. He uses his street-smarts, business skills, and high EQ to cultivate useful friendships and quickly build a comfortable life for himself in this new and dangerous world. He also becomes the brain and emotional core among his companions, whom he chose carefully for their talent and usefulness. However, over the course of the story, his band of mutually-beneficial acquaintances become real friends. I don't always like it when a character who is alleged flawed (e.g. calculating and self-centered) but never demonstrate for face any negative consequences for it (e.g. betray or lose the trust of his friends.) However, Jiang Chaoge manages that balance that keeps him both interesting and sympathetic.

Intriguing plot. We start with Jiang Chaoge exploring an alternate world as a transmigrator, learning its rules while trying to make a living and return home. However, only the most powerful beings in this universe have the power to send him back home, and Jiang Chaoge must find and bargain with increasingly powerful and dangerous entities -- from the High Priest of the land to the most powerful of beast spirits. All of them have their own secrets and agendas, which involves finding god-like powers that are only known to the mystical beast spirits, and discovering the terrible truths and bitters betrayals from the ancient battles that killed all the mythical beasts millennia ago.

A dynamic supporting cast. A heroic prince a bit too idealistic for his own good. A teenage trafficked slave-turned-bounty hunter who wants to return home. A feudal lord's illegitimate daughter who wants a free life on her own terms. An introverted genius who, ironically, got tricked into joining the most dangerous journey due to his anxiety and OCD. And a curious local explorer who final leaves home. Each one of them has (or eventually gets) a spirit beast, who are their most important allies in battle, and are also simultaneously their most complicated and most important relationship.

Friendships! The main gang initially only came together due to a web of mutually-beneficial incentives weaved together by Jiang Chaoge. Most of them are loners who do not easily trust people, but the friendship between them develops gradually and organically as they help each other through life-and-death situations. I especially love this development in Jiang Chaoge, who gets to feel missed, loved, and taken care of despite his harsh upbringing, and learns to feel this way for others. We also see the interesting friendships and frenemy-ships between the legendary mythical beasts, who have known each other since the literal dawn of time so their relationships can't be not-complicated.

The implications of spirit weapons and spirits beasts. The high-level spirit weapons wielded by the main cast are made from the souls of mythical beasts who have cultivated human-level sentience. Naturally, they have *feelings* about being killed and made into a weapon for perpetuity. Even if the spirit and wielder can get along, the relationship is inherently unequal on every front: a living human vs a dead beast, a mortal human vs a immortal spirit, the fragile source of power vs the fierce creature who can maximize the power's potential. The more energy a spirit receive from their human wielder, the more powerful they become in battle, and the greater their chance of reversing the relationship -- using the human's spirit energy to return to life and turn the human into a spirit weapon instead.

Further complicating this dynamic is the fact that a spirit weapon can formally bond with its wielder. No one else can use this weapon while the current wielder lives, and the spirit becomes one of the most important relationships that will last for the rest of that human's life. A bonding can be achieved through an exchange of blood or sexual intercourse, and of course the second option is very relevant to the plot and the main couple.

On the other hand

The main relationship is not boring or unpleasant, but it's just not to my taste. The gong is fierce and protective in his love, but also has the temper, maturity, and sometimes the intelligence of a petulant child despite having lived for millennia. This makes for a lot of great comedy and fun interactions with the protagonist, and I really like seeing them gradually becoming friends, but the romantic component didn't feel too compelling to me. However, I love the conflict this couple get into later on in the novel, which is a bit cheesy and cliched but also plays perfectly off the character flaws they already exhibited in the story.

The rushed ending left many loose ends in the plot. I read that the author originally planned for a much longer story, but a host of problems with the platform and censorship hampered her writing. Some characters and couples are left in awkward or unsatisfying places in the narrative, if not downright forgotten, so it feels like their story has not been in explored in full. The climactic battle itself is one shocking reveal after another; and it feels a bit like an info-dump that has dragged on for too long. The ending is technically happy, but I think it's a bit silly and leaves a lot of problems open in the future.

Finally, while SQC is incredibly skilled at crafting emotionally complex stories and character, and the action feels very tight from scene to scene, I feel like the story is still missing several important pieces that keeps it from being super-amazing. So many interesting story elements are left under-explored, like the powerful anti-monarchist secret society, the complicated power dynamics between spirit weapons and their wielders, the other nations/continents in the alternate world, the pseudo-immortality of spirit beasts, and what do you mean we don't have another 50K of extras picking apart Yin Chuan's tragic relationship with Di Jiang and Yuren Shu's complicated dynamic with Tian Rong?!

P.S. This story has no explicit smut scenes, kind of a real shock considering this is SQC's work ...

Overall

This is a story with a refreshing concept/premise, good writing, fun characters, deep relationships, and very creative plot and use of Chinese mythology. However, it leaves me with a "4/5" kind of feeling, because even though there are so many good things about it, I feel like it just left so much unexplored.

It's like looking at a really interesting painting, but with areas that are incomplete and some patches done very roughly compared to the rest. I have high expectations because the artist created such a wonderful sketch and did so well on most of it -- but it's still one of the most best works I have seen recently.

Finally,

I discovered this story through its audiodrama, which is surprisingly very good and unsurprisingly not reaching that many people. Season 1 covered half the novel, and I hope the word spreads so we get a second season to complete the story.

The theme song -- a rock song with Chinese instrumentals -- has also been stuck in my head on and off for weeks now ~~

[escapism-from-the-real-world]

I’ve been meaning to make this post for a while but it’s a long post so… have fun

So, the power rangers movie, right?

Garbage.

As someone who watched power rangers growing up and is rewatching a lot of the series it does NOT hold up to its legacy.

All the characters lack any real characterization and they (the makers of the film) know it. Instead of showing us there growth, we are literally told, to our face, the struggles they are going through and how this connects them to each other.

They literally have to force them to interact and have heart to hearts because they lack so much chemistry.

And I think part of that is that they are all the “outcast/loner” archetype. Now, I usually really like this archetype in PR (read Dillon from RPM) but they have every. Single. One of them as this kind of character.

Instead of having a typical group dynamic with a heart, leader, smart guy, strong guy, and lancer, with diverse character archetypes, it’s all just, outcast who used to be popular, outcast with autism, outcast because she sent nudes of her friend to other people, outcast for some reason, and, you guessed it another outcast!

In other PR shows, we have so much diversity in how the rangers are. Like, PR is surprisingly good at having a bunch of completely different people mush together to form a team.

But no. They wanted to be edgy. And they could have been!

Like RPM would have been a great version to base the movie off of since its more mature and, in my opinion, the best power rangers and it is edgy! Almost all the world is dead and the air is toxic and the team is full of really interesting characters who just feel so natural and pretty much everyone had a tragic backstory where someone they care about gets hurt/killed by Venjix and it so good.

If I was the writer for this movie, I wouldn’t have so many outcasts. And I know part of it is they need a reason why they all gathered together and got their morphers, but PR has been putting a group of strangers into unlikely situations in order to form their teams for years but now suddenly you can’t think of a better way to bring them together than “they were all outcasts and didn’t feel connected to the city”

Also, Zordon is a bitch. Sucky mentor who doesn’t tell his rangers shit and doesn’t train them and is just disappointed no matter what they do. He barely changes by the end of it and I. Don’t. Like. Him.

Also, the little robot is not friend shaped. I don’t care what they were going for, it failed.

It’s like the movie runners completely forgot that part of PR is that ANYONE can be a ranger and its not just the angsty, lonely outsiders fated to protect the world.

Also the music choices? Bad. Horrible. I could’ve picked way better song choices and let the audience here it. Seriously, how do they not know how to use music?? Don’t even get me started on when they used the power rangers theme, that was so bad.

They should’ve used a orchestra version that shook your bones. But no, we’re left with an unsatisfying play of the theme that can barely be heard with honestly crappy suit designs that I don’t really like and bland, soulless characters that I don’t want to root for.

Just, why. It could’ve been so good, but it stinks. Especially in comparison to other PR shows like RPM where they were angsty and edgy but still fun and good and able to use fucking music in their show like holy hell how hard is it to turn the volume up a little

Ugh, I am so bitter about it. They all deserved better. They all deserved to be campy. Shit, man.

#rants #power rangers #power rangers movie #i can’t with this movie #and the girl whosent the nides doesn’t really apologize?? #like yeah of course you’re being bullied #everyone knows what you did don’t play victim to possibly ruining someone’s life #like bro they aren’t likeable #execpt for Billy but only barely #everyone else is a bitch and needs to calm down with the edgelord bullshit

Pairing(s): Starles, past Cherik Warnings: Cherik as exes

This ficlet takes place about a year after my fic An End Comes to All Good Things which is a terribly angsty piece where Cherik starts out together and breaks up by the end. It's probably the only fic I've ever written where that happens (most of the time they're exes who get back together) and surprisingly it's one of my personal faves.

-----

At the time, leaving New York had been a rash if necessary decision, driven by the desperate need to put a literal ocean between himself and his failed relationship. In the year since that devastation and starting his new tenure at Oxford, Charles has slowly and painstakingly rebuilt his life anew, by making new friends and new routines and cutting ties with his past. Raven is the only one he can’t bear to stop speaking to completely, though their busy schedules have kept contact infrequent at best, with only one in-person visit so far when she flew over for the holidays.

The one thing he hasn’t done – still can’t quite bring himself to do – is to go out on a date, turning down fixups by his well-meaning colleagues or the occasional invitation from a new acquaintance. He’s in no big rush to put his heart on the line again, even if the risk of heartbreak is minor compared to what he’s already gone through with Erik.

(He doesn’t think about his ex quite so much anymore, with the pain and anger smoothing over time to a duller and more manageable ache.)

Still, he hasn’t met anyone he’s liked enough enough to share even a simple coffee with, though Moira is always quick to remind him he’s not being entirely honest with that assertion.

“You like that Steve Rogers that took your Intro to Genetics course,” she says, handing him his usual latte at their favorite coffee shop a few blocks from the university. The place has a great assortment and a lived-in feel that matches the general vibe of the city, and Charles much prefers it to the chain stores with far bigger selections. “He’s sweet, smart and handsome, and most importantly – age appropriate.”

Charles snorts. “He’s there to get a degree, Moira, not date his professor.”

“Well, the term’s over so you’re not his professor anymore,” she says, smirking at him over the rim of her coffee cup as Charles smiles and shakes his head. “You should ask him out!”

“It wouldn’t be right. He’s still a student.”

“He’s older than you!”

Chuckling, Charles takes a sip from his cup and nudges her playfully with his foot. “Yes, that’s an excellent reason to date someone; because he’s older.”

“I also said he’s smart and hot, Charles,” Moira teases, “and he seems like a kind and decent man. I understand he does volunteer work with veterans when he’s not getting a degree and teaching art classes at the local college.”

“Are you being paid to sing the man’s praises?” Charles asks, entirely amused by his friend’s knowledge and seeming interest in setting him up with Steve Rogers. “I had no idea you knew him so well.”

Grinning, Moira says, “We have some mutual friends and he comes highly recommended.”

“Oh my god I’m not buying a car, Moira,” he says, waving back at a few of his students as they drift by their table. “And I’m not ready to date. And even if I was ready to date, I wouldn’t want Steve Rogers to be my rebound when he could be an amazing husband and partner to someone much more deserving.”

It’s not what he meant to say; to reveal the part of him that still feels wounded and raw from what happened with Erik, and that he must have done something to drive him away. That if he’d been a better person and a better partner, maybe it wouldn’t have been so easy for Erik to leave him.

Moira frowns and reaches over to hold his hand. “Don’t do this. You are a wonderful man and an amazing friend and you deserve to have love in your life. And if it’s not Rogers than there’s someone else out there for you, I know there is, and I’m not going to sit here and let you wallow in self-pity.”

Charles laughs and kisses the back of Moira’s hand. “I’m alright, darling. Just got a little maudlin for a moment that’s all.”  

“Good, because ‘speak of the devil and he appears’,” she says, nudging him to look to the front of the shop where Steve is holding the door open for a little old lady. His stomach does a strange, unexpected little flip, which yes, he’ll admit has happened the last few times Charles has seen him on campus.

Maybe he’s not quite ready to date, he thinks, but perhaps having another friend in his life wouldn’t go amiss.

(Continuation)

Makoto's relationship with the Ginkgo Guild is surprisingly very good, you can say that she's a returning customer! Ginter often thanked her for making one of th merchant do his job well

Her with the Misfortune Sisters... Can't say that it's a whole spiky road but also not a rainbow bridge either. She still has her naivety and wanted to help the bandits countless times to change or walk in a better path but if she sees more resistance and backlash *grabs popcorn* ever seen Makoto doing a 180 degree tun?

Volo and Makoto

*clap clap*

I ship these two. She may not be a book smart but she knows how the wilds work and will let Volo slack off with his job to listen to his ramblings about myths (but she will also give him the deserved money secretly or outwardly if he's going to give her free stuffs again). Volo may not know that she came from a rift but what piques his interest is how she just fearlessly approaches Pokemons and how well she handles them sometimes he finds her in some peculiar places. Makoto gets the feeling of "he knows too much" from the merchant, that explains her keeping her secret of the plates she has and arc letter from him, anything related to the almighty might raised warning signs she's not THAT naive, but truthfully she's fascinated how he knows a lot about myths and often take breaks and let him lead the conversation.

Watch them walk into an alpha territory and look at Volo's eyes, and tell me he's not going to put a leash on her despite him jumping in front of an alpha garchomp himself, absolute idiots, but when there's someone younger than them, yeah Makoto's def sky rocketed and more cautious, Akari felt like the big sis became a protective mom and dad

They both share the love for Pokemons, see these two hiding in the tall grass only because they saw Togepis playing with each other when she's assigned to inspect an outbreak. See Makoto absolutely babying his Togepi like she's her own daughter, someone get the camera!

Storyline wise, there will be changes that I will add, like Akari's progress as a Survey Corps member and digging deeper into Makoto's character and purpose in Hisui, "Be there for who had left. Guide the lost" main mission is very vague compared to Akari's

I'll spice up the noble fights and how everyone fare in the wild, amplify the injuries because no I'm not going friendly with wild injuries because those are no jokes, I'm trying to flesh out the characters by making them interact more with others, and also try to include said myths in the main plotline ever wonder why Makoto's footsteps were in Turnback Cave?

Little tidbits about her! She uses a catapult when throwing feather balls. When not outside the settlement, she reads with her glasses. She learned how to craft medicines from Calaba despite her being low-key intimidated by the old lady. She's not scared of Pokemons considered dangerous or scary, just straight up walk to 'em as if Akari wasn't already one. Avoids conflict like a plague, maybe this might be a good trait if she learns how to fix the conflict itself. Makoto would be or is a woman that came from the equivalent of Taisho Era dimension timeline if one look at her clothing style before joining the Pearl Clan.

(And PLEASE DO! I DON'T MIND SOMEONE TO SEE HER AS SOMEONE'S NEW MOM)

-🦀 anon

God, she’s sounds so interesting!! Reckless but motherly! Curious as a cat, I suppose you could say, lolol! And a catapult!? Like a legit catapult or a slingshot kinda deal? I have to know pls

Also, I wanna see more of her relationship with Volo!! And I want to see the angsty injuries you have planned!! AHHH, it’s gonna be so good!! I’m so excited!!

Are you gonna write a fic?

~Renee

The Problem with deconstructing the Powerpuff Girls

The Powerpuff Girls is already a subversive show.

It’s a pastiche of superhero comics that keeps the action and violence of Marvel and DC properties and attributes it to cutesy little girls.

In essense, it’s already a parody. It’s already a subversive take on existing tropes. And like, even without a serialized story, it’s surprisingly smart in how it handles all of these older tropes.

So before the writers of the Live Action Script decided that Professor Utonium should actually be a showbizzy bad dad, they should of probably asked themselves... did the original show already do this?

Cause like... they did. 

The character of Dick Hardly, from the episode Knock it Off was designed as a foil to Professor Utonium who creates shoddy knock off Powerpuff Girls that he sells to cities across the world for profit. He’s one of the most despicable characters ever animated in the show, and the character of Drake Utonium has way more in common with him than he does that actual professor.

And it’s episodes like this that every other reboot of the show seems to forget.

The Powerpuff Girls isn’t Strawberry Shortcake or My Little Pony. It’s not a show created to sell dolls or produce merch. 

It’s a parody, a deconstruction, a Robot Chicken sketch before Robot Chicken was a thing. And that’s a compliment. It’s subversive humour is influential... the Powerpuff Girls walked so that shows like Kids Next Door, Kim Possible, My Life as a Teenage Robot, and almost every other cartoon after it could run. 

It’s a smart show with a surprising understanding of satire. Which unfortunately also means any parody of the show is going to be redundant. It’s kinda hard to make fun of a show that’s already so good at making fun of itself. 

And like, I’m saying this as someone who is actively working on a dark humour tinged dark comedy heavily inspired by the Powerpuff Girls. Everytime I write, I find myself making jokes the original show already made. Sometimes I’ll accidentally steal entire scenes because I think I’m being subversive. 

The big thing is... I’m pretty sure it’s still possible to make a subversive take on the Powerpuff Girls. As smart as the show is, it’s also kinda dated and stuck in the late 90s and early 2000s. Superheroes have evolved and there’s a lot more material the Powerpuff Girls could actively spoof.

Maybe the show should get a Samurai Jack styled soft reboot. Stay true to the original show, but show how time has passed. Give the show a TV-PG-V rating and the same kind of overarching plot you get with shows like Infinity Train or Gravity Falls.

But to any potential writer writing for this franchise, please, please, please do your research. You can’t pull a Riverdale with the Powerpuff Girls, because the girls we’re never as wholesome as Archie and the gang.

There is no way Matt Reeves thinks The Batman is anyway "grounded" or "realistic".

Gotham is way too stylized; all at once the 30s, the 90s, and the modern-day. The gangsters featured are caricatures. And Robert Pattinson's Batman is tormented in the most "I shop at hot topic and have an angsty myspace page" kinda way.

I enjoyed this movie mostly because it's the first time I've seen a Batman movie actually understand that it's, well, a Batman Movie.

This isn't a grounded political thriller with the aesthetics of Batman thrown on like the Nolan Movies. It's not a pointlessly dark and complicated take on comic book lore like the Snyder Movies, and it's definitely not a character exploration of mental illness like the Joker.

Instead, it's a heavily stylized action movie with cartoonish doses of FIlm Noir. Batman's violent and angsty, but no more than I think you'd expect from a comic book anti-hero. And given the ending, I'd also argue that this Batman is probably one of the nicer incarnations of the character we've seen in recent years. He's flawed and kind of bad at his job, but that just makes him all the more relatable.

Not everything aesthetically dark is deconstructive, and not everything that's violent is realistic. The Batman is probably one of the purest comic book adaptions I've seen in recent years, and frankly, people who think movies like this are in any way realistic have a very skewed perception of reality.The

Thoughts on Chip n Dale Rescue Rangers (2022)

I nervously stand up to the mic, prepared to exclaim to my audience of dozens a controversial fact. I'm shaking. I'm sweating. 

I clear my throat. Words drop from my mouth like wet clay.

"The Chip n Dale reboot is pretty great, actually."

Okay, it's not perfect. It's a solid 7 or 8 out of 10. It's delightful, hilarious, and super creative. It's not nearly as good as Who Framed Roger Rabbit, but it's also probably the closest thing to a sequel we'll ever get. And I'm kind of okay with that.

I'll get to the good stuff soon enough, but first let's talk about the bad. 

This movie is the same kinda metahumour drenched post-shrek styled Children's movie, and like, that's not everybody's thing. It's pretty light on fart jokes, but it is pretty heavy on breaking the fourth wall and having celebrity cameos and making jokes about Pop Culture. 

That said, it's a little closer in tone to something like, say, Enchanted or the original live action Scooby-doo movies than it is to Alvin and the Chipmunks. If you enjoy a post Modern Disney Princess or a postmodern Mystery Inc, then this movie works fine. But if you're not open to movies that make jokes about other movies… then maybe stay away from this one.

A slightly bigger issue is the usage of cel shading on most of the Rescue Rangers. It's not nearly as bad as the trailers showed them to be, and in stills, they could almost be mistaken for drawings. But in motion… it really doesn't work. 2D animation just happens to be a better medium for expressive faces and body movement, and as good as the celshaded animation is, it's kinda hard to escape the feeling that it was still, ultimately, the wrong choice.

But I think maybe the biggest issue I had with this movie is the lack of the attention given to the other Rescue Rangers. Montery Jack has a fun scene early on that almost makes you wanna go back to the old show. Gadget and Zipper also make appearances and even have a few good jokes… but for most of the run time… they're just… not there. 

Also, Monty's recasting feels weirdly redundant? Jim Cummings appears quote a few times as other characters and Eric Bana's role is so short and so similar to Jim Cumming's voice, I can't help but wonder why they bothered recasting him at all.

But with all that negativity aside, let's go on to why I actually enjoyed the movie.

This is a pretty good take on Chip n Dale as characters… its true to their personalities of the show, but with a Ducktales-esque revamp of their voices. And while they don't start the show out as detectives, they basically become their characters from the show anyways.

Even the other Rescue Rangers feel true to their original incarnations, with maybe a few odd new takes. There's a twist with Gadget and Zipper that's a little questionable at first, but downright hilarious when it came back up towards the end. 

Outside of the cel shading, the animations actually pretty great. CGI can't replace 2D animation, but I do have yo give them props for so faithfully mimicking both stop motion and puppetry so accurately. There's a Swedish chef parody who's so close to the Muppet style, I initially thought he was just a straight up puppet. 

The movie's biggest strength is actually the diversity of animation styles used. It's not just 2D and 3D… it's everything. Of course the cameos all stay faithful to their original sources, but even the original characters look like they could come from other actual properties.

Off the top of my head, we get cheaply animated insurance mascots with plastic textures occupying scenes with Aardman sheep. Lumiere from Beauty and the Beast shares a scene with Tigra from the 90s Avengers cartoon. And without spring too much, I'm obsessed with a specific scene where photo realistic Disney CGI interacts directly with characters from a certain rival studio.

You could argue that this movie is Disney shamelessly shilling their own IP, and to some extent, that's true. But the sheer number of non Disney cameos really cements this film as a spiritual sequel to who Framed Roger Rabbit. Hell, one of the best cameos in this film doesn't come from Disney IP at all.

The Roger Rabbit influence also shows itself in how weirdly dark this movie can get. It's nothing inappropriate for kids… but like… there's body horror. Cartoon body horror, sure, but it's made with the same stuff that made the scariest Disney scenes we watched as children. It's a weirdly Nostalgic kind of horror, and I'm happy we get to traumatized my little brother the same way I was when I first watched Roger Rabbit.

All n' all, I really liked this one. It's a fun watch.

[exilethegame]

What is everyone like + mc in an high school au??

👀 Oh i've been waiting for this one-- turn it up

Vethna: The goody two-shoes and valedictorian. They look down on everyone else, all their teachers love them, and they have a bit of a reputation for being a know-it-all. No one is stupid enough to try and tease them however because they can read a person in ten seconds flat and humiliate them down the street and back. That, and their parents own half the town.

Nikke: Angsty teen who dresses punk and skateboards. Everyone assumes he's just another teen who shouts, "anarchy!" without knowing what it means but anyone who sits down with him for two seconds will find he's stupid smart and surprisingly mature. Skips all his classes but still somehow has A's. Him and Sabir are locked in a tight competition of being salutatorian and the idea of Nikke winning drives Vethna fucking nuts. Is a genius in social studies classes.

Amilia: The kid who is a literal genius in anything creative but cries internally when dealing with STEM. She tutors kids after school and her electives are filled with art courses-- specifically pottery. She’s that girl who you’d find not wearing shoes for absolutely no reason and when you ask her where they are she’s absolutely clueless. 

Syfyn: On the football team. Some people tried to give her shit for it so she simply beat the shit out of them. She’s in all honors and AP courses but her grades are mediocre in them-- mostly because she’s pretty zoned out in her classes and loses participation points. You’d find her in the counselor’s office a lot. Everyone is kinda scared of her...just a lil’ bit. 

Sabir: Student council president. Is the kid who is friends with absolutely everybody and can make the entire classroom laugh with a single quip and lopsided smile. Is probably Prom King and I can also see him joining the cheer squad just so he can offer support to Syfyn during games but with style. Is the kid who would buy his teachers an apple and can get away with putting his feet up on the desks without anyone saying anything because, come on man, it’s Sabir.

???: Is the kid who always sits in the corner of the room away from everyone. When the teacher orders people to pair-up they never do...and the teacher never reprimands them for it. Is constantly suspended and can always be found in detention when they’re not, though no one seems to actually know what for? Totally a fake drug dealer. Will give a kid a bag of oregano and call it a day. They’re the kid who complains about everyone being “shallow” and “fake” and that’s why they’re an outcast until someone informs them that they are, in fact, just a dick.

MC: Their parents own the other half of the town that Vethna’s family does not-- the result being that there are always competing charities and neighborhood events. MC’s also on the football team-- they’re probably Captain. They’d most likely also be on Student Council as well. They’re kinda the it kid at school, for better or worse. No body is ever not talking about them-- some good, some bad-- but either way, there’s always drama.

May I request a songfic for Wicked Game for Childe x reader? Like, he's in love with the reader but he keeps pushing them away because he feels like it makes him weak etc. Can have a sad or happy ending, whichever you prefer! ❤️

I'm so, so sorry for the long wait, dear! But I couldn't decide where I wanted to go with this, so I kept working on other requests but it's finally done. I really hope you're still interested in this and like what I came up with. I decided to write a more happy ending because I wasn't in the mood for making it angsty, hope you don't mind that. Anyway, have fun reading and take care! <3

Btw, I listened to this version of the song while I was working on this.

Wicked Game – Tartaglia/Childe x gn!reader

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you It's strange what desire will make foolish people do I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you And I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you

The day he had met you was one he would never forget. With nothing more than a single glance and a soft smile you somehow had flipped his whole world upside down, a world he had carefully constructed around himself when he became the Eleventh of the Fatui Harbingers. It was almost funny, really. No one had ever managed to throw him for a loop, not even the strongest enemies he had to face on the battlefield – until he had stumbled upon you on that fateful day in Liyue Harbor. Suddenly, nothing he knew before seemed to make sense anymore. And after a few seconds of staring at you, he realized that he was irretrievably lost.

Lost in the way you smiled at him and the other customers that came to the small tea shop you worked at. Lost in the way your pretty eyes gleamed in the pale light of the moon when he saw you after dark. Lost in the warmth and comfort he always felt when you were around.

And as the time progressed and weeks and months went by, Tartaglia understood that it was more than just a crush. He was so in love with you that it almost hurt him physically.

And yet, he knew that he couldn’t allow himself to feel like that. For someone like him, it was dangerous to care about someone, not only because his enemies would never miss an opportunity to hurt him by hurting the ones he loved but also because feelings like these were nothing more than a distraction, a hindrance that kept him from completely focusing on his missions. Tartaglia couldn’t afford messing up, not when he didn’t want to disappoint the Tsaritsa. After all, he had sworn an oath, an oath to always put her and her interests first, and he couldn’t do that when someone – when you were all he could think of. You were the first person who crossed his mind as soon as he woke up and the last one he saw before drifting off to sleep in the evening. It was wonderful and terrible at the same time, and yet, there was nothing he could do to stop himself from falling deeper in love with you.

It would be smart to avoid you, hoping that these feelings would disappear someday but still, he found himself visiting the little tea shop you worked at every day. It was embarrassing, really, given the fact that he knew absolutely nothing about tea but instead of listening to you as you explained the tea varieties and different ways of preparation, he kept staring at you, taking in your beauty and indulging in the warm, fuzzy feeling that always welled up inside him when the two of you crossed paths.

And the fact that you seemed to like him too didn’t make things easier. It was so hard to pretend that he didn’t care for you, to push you away over and over again, but for the sake of your safety – and to protect his stupid, foolish heart from shattering into a million pieces – he needed to keep you at distance. He needed to be strong, not only for his homeland but also for you – he needed to protect you from himself and from the things he did in the past and would do in the future.

Even if it meant that he would end up alone again.

Even if it meant that he had to break your heart.

No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) With you With you

Tartaglia had started avoiding you one and a half weeks ago, not visiting the tea shop once and heading into the opposite direction as soon as he saw you on the streets, and still his heart started to beat faster when he thought about you or heard someone mention your name. He hated to act like this; he hated to hurt your feelings but what else could he do? You’d be better off without him, as well as he’d be better off without these distracting feelings.

At least, that was what he tried to tell himself.

And it worked surprisingly well – until he bumped into you on your way to work that morning. He hadn’t noticed you at first, or else he would’ve chosen another way to get to Northland Bank, but now it was too late to turn around and leave.

“I’m sorry,” he said, carefully avoiding your gaze as he helped you picking up your belongings that you had dropped. “I didn’t see you.”

Your lips curled into a soft smile. “It’s no big deal,” you replied. “How have you been? I haven’t seen you at the shop for a while.”

“Oh, about that…” He didn’t finish his sentence. It had been foolish to believe that you wouldn’t notice it. One time, you had even called out his name when you saw him near the shop, only to see him fobbing you off with a brief wave of his hand before turning around and leaving without giving you another glance. “Well…”

“You’re probably bored by my rambling about tea, huh?” you guessed, still smiling at him like you were really glad to see him again. “Don’t worry, I’m not offended if you are.”

“No, that’s not – that’s not the case.”

Your eyes were twinkling in amusement, and before he could look away again, he suddenly found himself staring into your eyes, his stupid heart skipping a beat as your smile grew wider. “That’s good to know,” you said softly. “But I was thinking… maybe we could meet up later, I mean, when – when the shop’s closed. You know, like-“

“Like a date,” he finished your sentence, his mouth suddenly so dry that he barely managed to get the words out. No, no, no, this couldn’t be true. How was he supposed to reject you when you asked him for a date, looking at him with his hopeful expression in your eyes? Just how?

“If you don’t want to that’s fine, too,” you mumbled, your cheeks heating up in embarrassment. “I’m sorry if I made you uncomfortable.”

Tartaglia chuckled. “If I don’t want to?” he repeated and shook his head in disbelief. “Oh, (Y/N), I’d love to go out with you.” The words were out before he could stop himself. He knew that it wasn’t right, that he should take it back right now but as soon as he saw the genuine happiness in your eyes, he knew that there was no way back. And, if he was completely honest for a second, he didn’t want that anyways.

“I’ll pick you up at your house at – um, let’s say, tomorrow at 8?”

“Perfect.”

What a wicked game you play, to make me feel this way What a wicked thing to do, to let me dream of you What a wicked thing to say, you never felt this way What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you

He didn’t show up.

Once again, you darted a nervous glance at the clock above the table, probably for the millionth time today. It was already half past 9 and Tartaglia was nowhere to be seen. An hour ago, you had tried to calm yourself down by telling yourself that he would be here any second now, that he was held up by someone or something but now, it was hard to think positive.

With a quiet sigh, you plunked yourself down on the couch. Tartaglia had stood you up, and it was stupid to deceive yourself by trying to tell you otherwise. He obviously had no interest in going out with you, it was easy as that. Perhaps he had only agreed in the first place because he didn’t know how to tell you No, or maybe he had fun going around and making others feel absolutely miserable.

You didn’t know, and you didn’t care.

No, that was actually a lie. You cared. You wanted to know what was wrong, why he wasn’t here with you right now and why he had started to act like you weren’t even friends anymore about two weeks ago. Overnight, he had changed his behavior completely, starting with not visiting the tea shop anymore through to blatantly ignoring you whenever your paths crossed. But no matter how hard you tried to make sense of it, you simply didn’t understand it.

And the fact that he invited you on a date, only to stand you up, confused you even more. His behavior made no sense at all, whichever way you looked at it.

You sighed again. In the beginning, your relationship had been so easy. You never had any trouble understanding him and you had always assumed that he liked to spend time with you. Heck, for a while you had even thought that he returned the feelings you had for him.

But apparently, he didn’t.

You buried your face in your hands, trying to fight back the tears that were welling up in your eyes. What kind of game was he playing? Did he even realize how much his behavior hurt you?

And I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) No, I don't wanna fall in love (this world is only gonna break your heart) With you

“You! Stop right there!”

Tartaglia froze as he heard your angry voice. For a brief moment, he considered acting like he hadn’t heard you and just walk on by but deep down, he knew that he owed you an apology and an explanation why he hadn’t shown up to your date almost one week ago. The truth was that he really had wanted to go out with you – but at the same time, he had seen the opportunity to make you hate him by standing you up which would hopefully help him to get over you.

So much for that, he thought to himself as he slowly turned around to you. You were staring at him, your eyes filled with pent-up anger. “I was convinced you’d ignore me again,” you said, arms akimbo. “But it seems you’ve finally gathered the courage to talk to me after you skipped out on me last week.”

“Yeah, about that-“

“Stop,” you interrupted him. “I don’t want to hear your half-assed apologies. I just want you to listen to what I have to say.”

He pressed his lips together and nodded. In all this time he had never seen you so angry and it was obvious that you were about to release a tirade but he knew very well that he deserved it. He deserved that you didn’t even give him the change to explain himself.

You huffed at the contrite expression on his face. “I’m not going to fall for that,” you warned him. “So don’t even try.”

Tartaglia nodded again, still not saying anything, just as you had told him.

“Great. Listen, I really don’t want to steal your precious time,” you replied in an undertone of utter sarcasm, “I just want to understand what’s going on. We’re friends, aren’t we? Damn, my silly self even thought that we could be more than that for a second but that’s not – that’s not the point now. I only want to know why you treat me like I am not in the least important to you all of a sudden.”

When he didn’t reply anything, you couldn’t help but roll your eyes. “Hello? Haven’t you got a tongue in your head?”

“I don’t know what you want to hear, (Y/N).”

“The truth, Tartaglia,” you stated simply. “I don’t need any apologies or justifications. Just the truth.”

Tartaglia shook his head. There was no way he could tell you the truth because then, he’d have to explain why he was so afraid of falling love, why he was so afraid of being weak. This was none of your business; it was his burden, not yours. You shouldn’t even worry about things like that; you should be in your shop, happily smiling at customers instead of wasting your time with someone like him.

“I can’t do this anymore,” you said when the silence between the two of you became unbearable, your voice shaking ever so slightly. “If you don’t want to be with me, just tell me. I can take it. But stop acting like you care, only to ignore me the day after! Stop pushing me around like that.”

Tartaglia was painfully aware of the fact that you were on the verge of tears. Everything about your posture told him that you were about to lose your composure, and yet, he couldn’t bring himself to say something. He knew that he had treated you like garbage, that he had hurt your feelings over and over again but what was he supposed to do now? There was nothing he could do, nothing he could say to turn back time and wipe the slate clean.

“I’m sorry,” he finally whispered, completely helpless, while you stood there with hanging shoulders as tears started to stream down your beautiful face. “I’m so sorry.”

“I should’ve known better,” you sobbed. “I should’ve known better than to fall in love with someone like you!”

In that moment, he felt his protective instinct kick in. It didn’t matter that he had promised himself to stay away from you or that he was the reason for your tears. All he wanted now was to comfort you, to reassure you that everything would be fine again.

In an instant, he wrapped his arms around you and pulled you close to his body, his hands gently caressing your back as you buried your face in his chest. “Don’t cry,” he mumbled, trying to swallow the lump in his throat. “Please, darling, don’t cry.”

He held you close, uttering apology after apology and patiently waiting for you to calm down. When you finally pulled away, your eyes were puffy and red-rimmed. Your lower lip was trembling, almost as if you were trying to fight back even more tears. “I hate you.”

“I know,” Tartaglia replied softly and reached out to brush a strand of hair from your forehead. “I deserve that.”

“I don’t really hate you,” you whispered.

“I know,” he repeated and cupped your face with both hands, gently wiping away the tears on your cheeks before he leaned in and brushed his lips against yours in a soft, almost chaste kiss. It didn’t last long, and yet it was enough to make him realize that being in love with you didn’t make him weak. It made him strong.

The world was on fire and no one could save me but you.

les mis tween era hcs

-combeferre rockets up skyward, like oh my god this kid grows so fast in his tweens. and has the knobbiest of knees. this is also around when his eyes go to shit, so he has to get a pair of really thick and nerdy glasses. he's very insecure and tries going without them, but he is literally borderline blind and eventually gives up due to the blurriness and the migraines

-courfeyrac is the kid that wears all neon. he's also 100% class clown type because he really wants attention from multiple sources at once. this often gets him kicked to the hallway, but he's surprisingly really smart and gets very high grades despite all this

-enjolras is still an average height (but he grows taller than combeferre during the first two years of high school- his bones ache, dude) but has super crooked teeth and gets braces put on for the first time when he's 12. he doesn't speak for a week straight because he's not adjusted to them yet and has a lisp. he learns to deal with it, but the lisp is definitely there until he's 15. he's also got the worst case of puberty explosiveness ever- you piss him off and he turns into mount vesuvius

-bossuet's alopecia actually triggers when he turns 13. it's a huge blow to his self-esteem, but grantaire (who he's known since forever) shaves his head in solidarity and it really, really helps him pick back up. he also accidentally sets off a fire alarm somehow every single year- bossuet ends up in the principal's office very, very frequently despite being a very sweet kid

-joly is an anime kid. he's going around asking people if they've ever seen cowboy bebop and everybody else is like "dude what are you even saying". he's the shortest kid in his grade and kids make fun of him often for his clubbed foot, but joly doesn't let it hurt him. he keeps to himself and hums as he reads manga during lunch

-marius is a dork. he's got the knobby knees, the big ears, he is the goofiest kid you've ever seen. he has really poor social skills and joins student gov't, but there's this terrifying blonde kid who yells at him the first day and marius quits out of fear to avoid him for the rest of his life. he's also such a teacher pet and the "you forgot to give out the homework :(" student

-feuilly moves around a lot between foster homes and he's very angsty as a kid because he feels really alone. he gets really bad grades and winds up in the counselor's office because he won't explain himself. like marius, he's got big ol' ears and his face is splattered in hundreds of freckles. he wishes he has more friends and is going through a super mario 64 speedrunning phase. after school, he plays games instead of hanging out with people his age

-jehan and eponine are in a creative writing club. she likes to write happy endings to her stories, and jehan writes the EDGIEST poetry you have EVER heard. each one is objectively terrible and they believe they are the next sylvia plath.

-musichetta is always in the library. she hits her growth spurt early, like combeferre, and towers over the girls and boys in her class. she always feels a bit out of place and chooses rather to spend her lunch period with the librarians. they think she's funny for a kid and even let her file away books and keep some of the copies they plan to throw out (she's slowly collecting all of their books in the animorphs series)

-bahorel ends up in the principal's office a lot too for fights. he's always ending up in them, and when he's 12 somebody knocks out his two front teeth. to this day, his front biters are prosthetics (he likes to prank people with them in his twenties, so it's both a blessing and a curse). he's also on the junior wrestling team! bahorel grows more outward than he does upward and he puts it to good use, if you asked him. he's on the brink of his emo/punk phase, and he's listening to a CD of black sabbath every night because he thinks he's so cool

-grantaire is so edgy. but like- oh no his dandruff. this kid does not shower. it's so bad. when he shaves his head, it's actually a blessing because now he doesn't have greasy hair hanging in his eyes. he's not quite in his extroverted era yet, instead being really shy and uneasy around the other kids. bossuet is his only friend and he kinda follows him around like a lost dog. he's in an art club and he makes the edgiest art you've ever seen- but only in an anime style. in their later years, he and joly bond over being the anime kids at their schools

-cosette is homeschooled! she's an extrovert and a ball of energy and because she is almost never around real people, her social skills are WEIRD. this poor girl oh my god she has no idea how to make normal conversations and she has no idea. she's also super into acting at this time and runs through lines of shakespeare with valjean. she loves to do the mercutio death scene- she always makes his final breath this goofy and ridiculous gasp that makes valjean laugh.

[atsvmi-x]

my personal characterization of eren bc i’ve been thinking about him a lot🥰 this is all modern!au bc canon literally never happened.

these aren’t x reader headcanons but i have more than enough thoughts about eren in a relationship to provide those soon!

General

Loud, brash, and loyal to a fault - you either love him or hate him (or if you’re Jean, you both love and hate him)

Those that he allows into his inner circle are friends for life. He’s easy to piss off but he’s quick to forgive when it comes to friends and family. If that doesn’t apply to you, or you cross those closest to him, he’ll hold a grudge long after the issue is resolved. You’re on his shit list for life.

He wears his heart on his sleeve. It’s literally impossible for him to conceal his emotions. If he’s angry, sad, annoyed, happy, literally anything his feeling you will be sure to know.

The same goes for his opinions. Blunt beyond belief. If he thinks something is stupid he won’t hesitate to say so. He’ll backtrack to soften his delivery if he notices that it offends other parties though.

All of these factors can lead to awkward moments. 99% of the time he’s confident enough in his stance to ignore how others might receive him but the other 1% of the time you might catch the rare sight of his cheeks heating up.

Contrary to popular belief, Eren is actually smart. Not to the same caliber of Armin, Erwin or Hange when it comes to critical thinking and analysis, but it is still above average. That being said, he doesn’t necessarily apply himself to subjects that don’t immediately interest him. However, he has impeccable game sense, making him quite the accomplished athlete.

Anger issues. Clearly. It made him a difficult child... for most of his life (and probably the reason he’s an only child) but as he’s gotten older he’s learned to manage his temper. It’s still easy to rile him up though, and it’ll be a cold day in hell before he backs down from a challenge. But for the most part his attitude is a running joke between those he’s closest with.

He has a strong moral compass and sense of justice. Not in the sense that he’s conservative, far from it. His personal ideology is: as long as it’s not hurting anyone people should do what they want. and anyone that messes with that is wrong. He’s a simple guy

Bad at flirting. He can be super oblivious and when he does catch on, he’s not smooth at all. But he’s tall and pretty so it comes off as endearing 99% of the time. It’s his boy-ish charms that save him every time.

Childhood

Cute as a button as a baby. Poor Carla and Grisha were blindsided when he hit his terrible twos.

Had no friends besides Armin until middle school when his parents adopted Mikasa.

Before Mikasa, he and Armin were the black sheep of the neighborhood kids. Eren easily alienated himself from the neighborhood kids and his schoolmates due to his brash nature. Looking back on it, he still stands with his decision since it meant he found his first friend.

(Armin didn’t fit in for his old soul thanks to being raised by his grandparents)

Super curious and didn’t realize how small he was in such a big world. On several occasions he wandered off because of his curious nature. Would have been a leash kid if leash kids were a thing when he was growing up.

Could technically be considered a school bully for talking down to kids on the playground. HOWEVER, he was smaller than other kids for a while, meaning his haughty attitude resulted in petty school yard fights that he lost most of the time. Still, he never cried and never learned his lesson.

Since we was never against a fight, he made it his mission to take up for Armin. When Mikasa joined his family he did the same for her when their peers made comments about her different looks. As we know, those roles soon reversed with Mikasa taking on a protector roll

To try and find a suitable outlet for his excess...energy...Carla and Grisha signed him up for every sport under the sun. Was pretty good too but excelled at football and track and field.

Teen

Was on a first name basis with administration during his school years for getting too invested in classroom debates. His fired up nature easily boiled over outside the classroom resulting in several fist fights

Got suspended once for said fights, but more often than not Mikasa saved him before he could get into more trouble.

So angsty. Literally a textbook case of teen angst from the loud music, dark clothes, to butting his heads with his parents he was truly a nightmare. (He recognizes this and is forever apologetic to his parents for being so difficult during this time)

Started to grow out of his rebellious phase by his junior year. There was no real explanation for it he just...did. That’s not to say that he was any less combative, he just knew what battles to pick. Good job Eren.

By the time he graduates he’s such a mama’s boy. He’s always loved him mom but now his eyes have been opened to how much of a handful he was growing up. He’s embarrassed anytime she brings up old stories but he knows it’s all in good fun.

He’s also had a major growth spurt by the time he graduates and his years of playing sports have definitely paid off. He’s a total heartthrob by his senior year and unintentionally a heartbreaker. Again, it’s hard to break into his circle, nothing personal.

Young Adult (College/Post Grad)

Commits to playing football exclusively. Not out of hopes of going pro but he just really likes the sport. He’s well known around campus between sports and his personality.

Still, he can be found with any one member of his crew at any given time. It’s rare to find him by himself unless he’s in his dorm room. He’s a total extrovert and gets bored easily when left to his own devices.

BUT he’s not a total party animal. Definitely prefers kickbacks to partying. But he will show his face if someone personally asks him to come.

Smokes and drinks the normal amount. Knows his limits and isn’t a lightweight for either. But under the right conditions (i.e. drinking games, bets, etc.) he’ll over indulge. Far too touchy when he’s under the influence.

Struggled to find his “calling” in school. Most of his friends fell into majors that they clicked with but it wasn’t that easy for him. He probably ends up with a fifth year under his belt. since he didn’t officially declare a major until maybe junior year.

Graduates with a political science degree! 1) He fooled his parents into thinking he’d go to law school which satisfied his doctor dad. 2) While he doesn’t exactly know how, he wants to improve daily life for the less fortunate and he thought this was a good step to do that. 3) He loved being able to argue for a grade during in-class debates

I know we all love streamer!Eren but I really do think he’d end up going down a creative/independent route where he’s not tied to a desk 9-to-5. It really stressed him out to think about doing thing for 50 years and then being able to enjoy life after retirement.

Other

Like previously mentioned, his music tastes were pretty narrow. But as his social circle grew and he was exposed to new genres his musical pallet has expanded. His go to genres are still heavy, but he’s not against asking what song just played if he liked it (unless you’re Jean, he’ll never give him the satisfaction).

I feel like his celebrity crush is Doja Cat. I have no evidence I just feel like he’d be into her.

Baby can NOT dance. if he tries hard he can bust a two step but usually he doesn’t usually put forth the effort though. It just gets worse if he drinks.

Very much a night owl but surprisingly, he doesn’t like to sleep in either. Feels like there’s too much stuff to do in a day to just waste it in bed. He contradicts himself though bc he can spend all morning in bed playing around on his phone (he’s addicted)
