anyway i think that after s5 it takes a few years at most for georgie and melanie to have a horrendously messy breakup, which is not the start or end of the epic Internet Personality Drama surrounding both of them by that time
#i think some of the cult members try to defend either or both of them and that only makes it worse#bc at least one cultist has been disillusioned and gone very vocally ex-cultist and their posts about the cult are being cited in callouts#i think theres a schism and i think melanie and/or georgie being like 'guys we were not super comfortable with the cult in the first place'#does not help and i think theres video essays being made by at least one person whois making updates as more stuff comes out about the#magnus institute and why the fearpocalypse happened and that regardless of how much any one person could be blamed for any of it and the#fact that georgie didnt even work for the institute she and melanie are the ones with any real degree of internet presence that are#still around after the unfuckening happened. i dont even think what the ghost is a very popular podcast but Any social media presence is#now something to be mined by people looking to place blame on anyone even tangentially associated with The Fucking Apocalypse happening#this whole thing and the lack of other people (cough jon) around to use as a scapegoat anymore makes their respective#denial and blame-assignment algorithms clash and then having to actually reflect on their own behaviors including the fucking cult they#didnt ask for and couldnt disband yet benefitted from regardless and which put themat least nominally in a position of authority/power over#others also trapped in a supernatural torment nexus (sound familiar anyone) makes things A Little Uncomfy to say the least

Hii, hope u're doing ok in ur break. If the slot is till open, can i request Sir Pentious n Alastor with a dom male! reader who used to be a detective before he died?
I like the thought of Alastor being with someone who's supposed to arrest him (lol), and making him call the reader 'sir' a lot.
You Have The Right To Remain Silent... If You Can~
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sir Pentious
You slammed the serpent onto the desk, bending him over as you slid a hand down his scaly form, gripping his surprisingly curvaceous hips.
Yanking his head back by his hood, you growled in his ear.
"Where are you hiding the weapons?"
The man gasped softly, back arching as he swallowed the lump in his throat, scaly rear almost presenting to you.
"I'll never tell!" He whined, trying to pull from your grasp, only to moan as you gripped his hood even tighter, pulling him close.
You yanked his arms back, snapped a pair of cuffs onto him.
They were cheap cuffs, stuff from a xheapo store, you sure if the man tried hard enough they'd break, yet you knew he wouldn't, the man whining softly as you leant over him.
With a sadistic smile, you gripped his face, pulling him in close.
"Tell me, and this can be easy. Ooor you could resist, and I could be very, very Hard on you~" you growled, practically grinding on him.
The man simply moaned, biting his lower lip.
"So, you think you can break me?! I'd love to see you try!" He cried triumphantly, as you leaned in, breathing heavy on his neck.
You smirked, yanking on his hood as you slammed his face into the desk.
"Oh don't worry. I'm not scared to throw the book at you." You growled, leaning in close, practically purring in his ear. "But with you, snake boy... you should be careful, cause if you keep resisting imma spank you with it."
You growled, slapping his scaly "ass", Pentious moaning lewdly as he practically pushed back in your hand.
The man all but whining as you manhandled him.
You had some back and forth, Pentious declaring he'd never reveal his secrets, you determined to 'drill' them out of him, using your 'experience' on Pentious. Putting that top notch detective experience to work.
Of course you weren't too rough. You were too experienced a detective to rough him up enough to leave marks, well, to leave bad marks, you left plenty of fun marks on the man, though even then he never minded a bit of rough play.
Having the man at your mercy was always a lovely thrill, Pentious a giddy idiot when intimate, but he was surprisingly capable at theatrics when in the mood, man a damsel at your mercy.
Well, not necessarily at your mercy, Pentious was totally in on it, the man all but eager to submit to 'your authority', putting up as much of a fight as he was expected too.
You didn't get too rough, well, not physically, as you didnt wanna leave marks, not that Pentious minded marks, he just didn't want the sort you couldn't explain off.
Pinning him to the desk, you'd hold him close, kissing and suckling his delicate neck flesh, drawing a string of moans and whines from the man, Pentious moaning loudly as you suddenly bit the snakes neck.
This was hardly the first time you'd played this role, Pentious particular to a bit of power play, especially when you so naturally knew your part.
And despite the man's craving for status and power, he relished the way you dominated him, a big goofy grin across his face as you used your once lawful abilities to hold power over others, the snake fascinated with almost supernatural power you held over him, almost as much as the hold you had on his body.
And while he'd never publicly admit it, the snake loved submitting every tume you took charge.
You treated him like any other perp, cuffing the man as you... had your fun~
Pentious loved every second of it, you always sure he enjoyed it, the snake loving it when you were in power.
This was a surprisingly big part of your relationship, the two of you having a deeply intimate connection.
Pentious relishing more then just the idea of you, but the sheer dominance you could exert, the man both loving and desperately wanting to emulate your dominant abilities.
And while the sexual aspect was always heavy, he really craved to know how to dominate, you trying to show the snake just how to be more dominant.
Yet despite your abilities and attempts, the man occasionally having bouts of success, you always held the cards in your relationship.
You'd of course teach the snake many of the skills you held.
You were a veteran detective before death, and as such you knew far more about the minds of others then many Sinners in Hell, a skill Pentious desperately wished to emulate.
Of course, when not engaging in Detective themed S&M, you had a deeply romantic relationship.
Pentious, despite himself, was desperate for intimacy. The man adoring the fact he had someone to care and attend to, and you damn well knew it.
The snake was always amazed at your deductive abilities, you able to trll much about him before he even spoke, you doing your best to teach him, too... mixed results.
But despite the regular 'Cops and Robbers' routine, you also had a deeply intimate relationship, you often spending great lengths of time with the man.
You, of course, let him keep something of an illusion of control, the man allowed to build his air fleet and egg-boi army, you keeping a watch of it all, but the man ultimately free to do as he pleased.
Of course, you barely had to assert yourself to dominate the man, Pentious immediately folding any time you so much as touched him, the Serpent relishing your touch in his life, craving your affection.
You had the snake wrapped around your fingers, Pentious loving it any time you flexed your power over him, The snake loving to puff up his ego, but the man quivering if you so much as purred in his ear.
You and your 'big bad snake' shared a deep, if lopsided, relationship, as while the man relished asserting his power and status, he adored when you asserted your power over him, two of you having a deeply adoring relationship.
Alastor
Your little back and forth with Alastor was long running, the man finding you exceptionally interesting.
You were in your 'office', the man sat in a chair as you stood over the man.
"My, Mr Detective, aren't you going to read me my rights?"
You simply smirked, yanking on his dishevelled neck tie, the man biting his lip as you stared down at the man, the Radio Demon's wrists bound behind his back.
The man who was so used to getting his way, that having the man at your whim, the man at your mercy, it was a refreshing change of pace for the man.
And if you happen to play into the roaring persona of an ABU agent eager to 'question' him with some... unorthadox interrogation tactics.
"Oh don't worry, I'll make sure you know every right and wrong you've got~"
Alastor knew this song and dance, having endured such treatment when alive, something he was sure to remind you of every time you had your little 'play sessions'.
You always eager to play into the role, playing up your persona, usually with a distinct shift, either rank or position, or his Crime.
Always making sure to play into it. Hard. Relishing your 'play time' with thr man, the dapper demon seemingly appreciating your theatrics as you pressed him into a wall. Or desk. Or the back of your car.
Or over your car.
Or on that ferris-wheel that one time.
Pressing your body to his, getting closer then any man ever had, binding his wrists with his own dress shirt as you slid your hands into his belt line.
"Looks like youll be going in for some Hard Time?"
You growling in his ear, working over his lithe form, drawing out a string of breathless moans from the man.
Alastor purred, a crackle of static as his back arched, you relishing this control, always managing to illicite a moan from the man.
The demon, despite his pride, was deeply susceptible to your detective persona, the man, in an oddly reminiscent episode enjoyed reliving his mortal years, the thrill of the back and forth. And of the Hunt~
The man was witty, and smug, as he was in life, always eager for your 'play time'. Which was iron8c since he wasnt all too partial to physical contact, yet with you he adored those 'rendezvous' always eager to elicit a rise out of you, man partial to some pain.
Though even as you slammed him against your desk, flesh pressed against flesh, the man always doing his best to keep up his smug persona, his way of encouraging you to 'put him in his place'.
You had an exceptionally smug back and forth every time, Alastor exceptionally snarky, well, until you smacked his ass, Alastor suppressing a whine as you leaning in close, biting his neck.
Now, Alastor would never admit as much, but he was very partial to a good bite on the neck, the man often whining like a doe when you sunk your teeth into the man's neck. A favour he would often return, you having more then a few bloody Tshirts due to the man.
The man would often end up as a whining, mewling mess, eyes crossing as you held the man down, turning Alastor into a moaning, whining mess, utterly submitting to you when in your office.
Of course the man would never admit as much publicly, keeping up his ever smug radio persona when in public.
But when in the privacy of your own home, he'd playfully submit, allowing you to 'take charge', you usually ending up inside of him.
One way or another.
The man, despite his pride, loved your little games of back and forths, able to experience real dominance, a breath of fresh air for such a powerful demon, the dapper demon so used to being the most powerful person in the room, he received an alien body of energy every time.
Of course, your past as a detective was always a point of teasing and prodding for the man, the man loving to work you up with idiotic questions until you'd end up snapping, said snapping usually ending with him bound to a chair, missing half his clothing, his neck utterly covered in big red bite marks.
A big dopey grin on his face with his hair all kinds'ah fucked up.
You were a constant source of entertainment, as whenever you werent 'investigating' something, i.e his body, you were usually enduring his teases and taunts, the man always happy to get a rise out of you, you quickly reminding him who was in charge.
Your favourite being to bind his wrists with his own bowtie, regularly blindfolding him before having your way with him, leaving a whole myriad of new marks and scars.
Alastor liked to pretend otherwise, but it was painfully obvious he was always eager for it, even as he moaned and squirmed, back arching as he practically begged, something he desperately tried not too do, but you always managed to squeeze it out of him, among with other things~
When not engaging in sexually deviance, the two of you had an exceptionally romantic relationship, as even as he was hesitant to show real intimacy, or well, public intimacy was mostly off the table.
Of course, you'd still manage to get something from the man, usually a simple kiss, or affectionate nuzzle, a monumental achievement for anybody. One you always celebrated in your own smug little way.
And yes, he'd never reveal the inner dynamics of your relationship, something you didn't blame him for, he was as vain as you were assertive. You still shared a loving, and disproportionately assertive, relationship, the two of you loving each other deeply, adoring each other. Usually with Alastor being bent over a desk being your favourite way to show it to each other~

hello! i saw your requests were open and you write for saiki k ! 😁 I was wondering if i can request general dating hcs for saiki?
my first saiki request! exciting! also ive been so active??? hopefully i can keep this up, ive been working to clear out my inbox so i can open it again!
i miss watching saiki k i need to rewatch for the thousandth time 
general kusuo saiki dating headcanons
Tumblr media
-for saiki, dating was never something of interest to him, especially considering the nature of his supernatural abilities
-even he’s uncertain how he managed to fall in love with you in his hectic everyday life, but he did, and to his surprise, you liked him back! So boom boom you two are dating!
-dating saiki isn’t a secret thing, but a private thing, you get what i mean? He doesn’t go out of his way to hide the fact you two are seeing each other but he definitely doesn’t initiate pda or outright tell people the two of you are dating just for the sake of telling
-saiki isnt completely reserved as most people may think though. I mean hes in a relationship for a reason. If he didnt want to take on the responsibilities of being a boyfriend then he wouldnt be in a relationship. Simple!
-pda is an absolute no no most of the time, but in private, he doesnt mind being more physical
-by physical i mean bothering the shit out of him
-maybe the two of you will be reading on his couch, opposite end of each other, and out of nowhere you just stretch your legs onto his lap
-he shoots you a glare and you stick your tongue out, and thats pretty much it. He doesnt push you off, just continues reading and letting you relax
-maybe you’ll both be watching tv in the dark late at night and you’ll lean into his side and again, he wont move. Hell, he might rest his arm on the cushion behind you!
-dating saiki means youre probably the more talkative one, but there are plenty of times where saiki just loves to rant to you about his annoyances
-”ah look, nuisances A and B.” “kusuo thats rude” “dont pretend to be all nice”
-he brings you everywhere with him. As he already almost constantly gets dragged into something he doesnt want to do by his friends, he’s dragging you along with him so you can suffer too (cough he can tolerate his friends a bit more)
-youre a bit of a translator for him, usually the one who excuses his rudeness sometimes and he’ll go “don’t speak for me”
-his friends are shocked when he finds out about you to say the least. But they adore you!!
-sooo super nice because of course. eventually as you all continue to get closer and they notice the subtle change in saikis demeanor when hes around you, the soft smiles and attentiveness, theyre genuinely so happy for the two of you
-you have to beg him for homework answers that he typically refuses to give you, saying you need to take responsibility for your work
-you do know about his powers; you have to if youre his partner
-and sometimes you cant help yourself by asking questions or asking him to show off sometimes
-but other than that youre respectful of his boundaries and leave him alone about it
-but maaaaybe sometimes he’ll be nice. like if you accidentally misplaced something of yours, he’ll use clairvoyance to find it and silently leave in somewhere you’ll find later
-cafe dates! Purposely makes sure to steer clear of places his classmates would visit to avoid attention
-surprise him with a sweet he likes (bonus points if its to cheer him up after his friends put him in a foul mood) and he’ll give you a brief kiss on your cheek <3
-his parents love you which he doesnt know if its a good or bad thing, because theyre constantly all over you, his dad teasing him all the time
-you’re always welcome in their house!
-something you wouldve never expected was saiki getting protective, but when it comes down to his brother, he cant help but be a little nervous, so he keeps you a lot closer when hes visiting or his family visits him and invites you to come along
-overall being in a relationship with saiki is surprisingly exciting, and though he isnt very vocal about it, its through his little actions that you can tell he appreciates having you in his life

meet the sims-blackwood family!! this is set post-200 in a new world where the fears are weaker and more hidden in the shadows, but quickly building strength as more avatars and artifacts are born. meet blaire and not-adam, two students in jon’s homeroom and english class!
worldbuilding and brainstorm notes under the cut :D
the student ocs i created here are
-a transfem student who straight up doesnt have a name. you can call her anything but her deadname. its a fun game the class plays. it started as a gag but jon went “yeah okay ive seen weirder and kids deserve a chance to explore” so he comes up with a different name every day during roll call. shes v chaotic and inspired (personality wise, not funky name lore) by an irl friend of mine
-the student she has a crush on and is best friends with, an AP art student who uses they/she pronouns
they both eat lunch in Jon’s classroom, where they eventually notice that he never really eats much? just. reads a book in his free time, maybe has cereal bars occasionally
they form really close bonds with jon and he sponsors their lgbt club,,,, the second student realizes she’s agender when hes explaining the ace spectrum,,,,,, they come across The Horrors that were released when jmart moved on to Somewhere Else and he saves them,,,,,,,,, after they start to understand that “something spooky is here bc of mr sims but he was a victim in it” they sneakily start categorizing what they call “The Horrors” into 9 groups and get into shenanigans. they save jon at some point
their romance follows the plot of jmart’s but jon notices student B treating student A like he did martin at the start of the year and intervenes
so theyre healthier
(maybe jmart adopt student b, as they’re in a rlly unsafe home environment and thats why they started lashing out at their buddy)
at the beginning of the year student A knows shes trans but isnt sure what name to use. her buddy suggests not-adam (as she isnt suuuper uncomfy with her deadname, just that its too masc for her) so they call her that for a good bit and it comes up occasionally until they learn about the fears and the joke kinda. sours.
jon called her anything but that. not-adam thought it was because he didnt want to deadname her (and she insisted she was cool with it and thought it was funny) but she said that he can use a name that isnt adam, just not to stick to one bc she didnt want to feel boxed in
so the joke of her being anything but adam began
!!! WHAT IF NOT ADAM HAS AN ENCOUNTER WITH A STRANGER OBJECT THAT MAKES EVERYONE UNABLE TO SEE OR REMEMBER HER??? AND (character B) IS THE ONLY ONE WHO REMEMBERS HER BUT STILL CANT SEE HER!!!! AND THIS IS HOW JON REVEALS HE KNOWS STUFF ABOUT THE SUPERNATURAL
student b breaks down only a couple days in when she realized something was deeply, truly wrong, earing lunch (seemingly) alone with jon in his classroom. she says something with “not-adam” and “nobody remembers her but me” and jon’s trauma plus eye powers helps break his illusion, even though he doesnt remember her still
WHAT IF THIS IS AROUND WHEN NOT ADAM IS STARTING TO SEE HIM AS A FATHER
he adopts her bc she still legally doesnt exist and her family doesnt remember her , and its not like jmart already have fake identities anyways. they break the curse but everyone but B and Jon are completely wiped of her memory, just can finally see her now. its a mush of stranger, spiral, and lonely bc the horrors work different here
…she eventually settles on a name because she desperately needs to be reminded that they know her, they remember her, and that they remember all of her. (jon doesnt remember *everything* still, but most. every now and then she or B references something and they pause when they realize it was another memory lost to The Horrors)
oh also jon wears combat boots bc of daisy now. unrelated but important
im realizing my plan of them adopting B is a little funky with them adopting not-adam. however, unconventional found family prevails in tma. B just stays at their house most of the time bc she is neglected a lot at home so it usually isnt noticed when she disappears. theyre both 16 so fighting for custody when they can move out so soon is deemed too much stress on the teens. not-adam’s family actually are v loving and great, they just. dont remember NA. they dont remember how to love her, that they ever did
(thats why B needed to remember her. also, the effect intended of the horror was to torture NA until she died unnoticed and she will either be remembered by everyone when her body is found or will rot unseen until shes gone. or become an avatar, if she chose to embrace it. B was an intended victim of the leitner, the fear of nobody believing you and losing someone you love feed the Horrors)
(jon and his funky eye powers are likely the only reason NA didnt die)
in the end A picks the name astrid, but jon still calls her any name he can think of that starts with A when calling her down for food n stuff
anyways jmart unofficially adopting queer teens bc found family is so themcore but i *know* the fates would never allow them to do anything conventionally or fully legal
(all of this copy-pasted from me infodumping in a tma chat in the past couple hours)

Some ideas if I wrote the 2015 Klarion comic:
-Klarion leaves Limbo Town (LT) at 14 and is homeless for a few years until he meets Rasp at 17 (gotta keep the homeless trend going)
-Klarion still leaves because he kills his teacher (angst)
-Teekl is alive and well
-LT is a faery town in another dimension. I'm still deciding how to make them puritans / puritan inspired (maybe half faery half human, maybe just the ideology instead of them being actual puritans). Their society is structured very similarly to puritan society, with rigid social + gender roles and hierarchy.
- Between LT and Earth there's another sort of mixed dimension that you have to cross through to get to one from the other (you can't jump directly from one to another, you need to cross through there first)
-Familiars in LT are formed from magic in this mixed realm. These familiars are captured and brought to LT to be chosen by young witches for a ceremony at 5 years old. Teekl was a familiar that survived in this mixed realm for several years, which is very rare because almost all familiars either get captured by LT or find there way to Earth and lose most of their magic, becoming normal animals with a little bit of extra supernatural in them. She was considered temperamental and disobedient because she was NOT happy about eventually being captured 💀. She was kept despite this because her being able to survive so long could mean she's a more powerful familiar.
-She was captured in the year that Klarion's ceremony took place in. Klarion instantly wanted her because she was rebellious and cool in his eyes; she was also much bigger than the other familiars because she'd grown up in the mixed realm so BIG FLUFFY KITTY. She hissed and bit at literally everyone.
-Uriah is a clergy member's son in this universe, so he's very bratty and very conceited
-Uriah also wanted Teekl because she was potentially more powerful than the other familiars. He spent the entire time allocated to choosing a familiar chasing after her and trying to force her to like him. Which, if you know cats, had the opposite effect
-Klarion spent what little time Uriah didn't take up talking to her, which is considered very weird behavior because 1) she's not his familiar yet and 2) its considered proper to either talk via the bond formed between witch and familiar or just give them verbal orders.
-At the end of the ceremony Uriah gave up and chose another one. Klarion decided to not pick any familiar because Teekl didnt want to pick anyone. Which was unheard of and also considered very weird behaviour.
-During the next 3 years Klarion sneaked into the Farm where the familiars are kept to talk to Teekl. When he was 8 he helped her escape and get back to the mixed realm
-She decided to stay there instead of losing her magic because Klarion was her friend and she wouldn't be able to visit him anymore if she left for Earth. She sneaks in a lot to see him.
-Him repeatedly turning down a familiar at the choosing ceremony makes his rebellious reputation much worse (he never chooses a familiar, so he has no actual familiar when he leaves at 14)
-Charity Bleak is his mother, Beulah is his sister and Ezekiel is his step-dad like on SSOV.
- I think Charity should have been outcasted for a bit because Klarion's dad left LT for Earth. This was because 1) her husband left her (wasn't killed) and 2) he was a rebel (she couldn't keep him in line). She worked very hard to get back into the good graces of LT and is desperate to keep herself there. Klarion's rebellious nature reminds her of his dad AND could potentially take away all the hard work she put into fitting into LT again. She paints all his Problems tm as him being his father's son and never defends him, even agreeing with other people's negative opinions of Klarion so she fits in.
-Beulah follows along with Charity because she fits in easily and because she remembers how bad it was to be outcasted by LT.
-Neither Beulah nor Charity can understand why Klarion chooses to outcast himself
-Ezekiel is just kind of There tm i don't have any thoughts ab him so far.

Ok quick breakdown as to why I think Terra and Markus have so much rivalry!! Maybe its too late for this but SPOILER WARNING FOR SHOW ONLYS 🙏 and this is super long so bear with me
Terra and Markus don’t essentially hate eachother, theyre really just envious of eachothers lives, so really theyre just too blinded by jealousy to realize they don’t really hate eachother. We see them quarrel as young children but its nothing too major (markus breaking terras ipod). However whenever they are drawn in the same scene together (cory walkers doodle blog posts or again scenes from the actual comics) theyre drawn as young adults/exiting their teenage years, and its usually in a setting were Terras ascending down from the sky and Markus laying in rubble (presumably after a fight). I feel like this could be a metaphor for Terra looking down on him with pity, and Markus looking up at her with jealousy.
Markus is jealous of Terra’s life because shes an alien who was raised on an alien planet, whos always known shes an alien. Markus is an alien raised on a human planet, and didnt even know he was an alien up until he was 4, when mark told him of Viltrum’s origins. Terra is close to the empire (that she later chose to detach from which is okay!!) and their father and Markus is envious of that, hes envious that she seems to be automatically given their fathers validation (example of this would be her being taken on missions with Mark, being put into training under the mentorship of Kregg) meanwhile he feels like he has to earn it, that it has to be rewarded (him becoming earths new Imvincible, his reason for do-goodings being in hopes their father will recognize him and be proud, and to make him feel more included with the empire and their family. Terras life had a gradual shift from quiet to loud, Markus life is relatively quiet and discrete, but he desires that loud, adventurous life of his older sister. Markus also had to BUILD UP a team or join one, it isn’t really stated if he joined the NEWER guardians of the globe or not but he definitely worked along side them, meanwhile Terra had that team support already provided when she joined the Conservation Order (brinigng it up again later!) And a canon reason why Markus envies Terra is her conception in contrast to his (this is revealed after he attacks Mark). Markus says that he feels his existence is a constant reminder that he was made with hate and that Terra was made with love. He knew that Mark always loved Terra more, and he hated himself because he felt he could never be good enough for Mark BECAUSE of his conception (fuck u an*ssa). Markus feels his mother always doomed him to be bad, and that Terra’s mother destined her for greatness, because Eve is the love of Mark’s life, and an*ssa is a woman who traumatized Mark forever. Markus strives to fit what he thinks Marks narrative of greatness would be, and his way of doing that was carrying on his legacy as Invincible. Markus could also be envious that Terra got to know their uncle and grandfather before they died, they held her, talked back, meanwhile he has to talk to a cold grave that Nolan doesn’t even rest under.
Terra is envious of Markus’ life because he grew up in a two parent household (until an*ssa died during Mark’s battle with Thragg) with an emotionally available mother he could relate to (in terms of powers and species), and the people surrounding him didnt have a distaste for him because of his species considering they didnt (at the time) know he was a Viltrumite. Terra, up until she was 5, was raised by a single mother. This ofcourse isnt Eve nor Marks fault, he didnt intend on getting sucked back into the past for 5 years by some supernatural alien, and Eve didn’t intend on allowing him to leave for YEARS. Terra, being so young, was probably too young to understand why her father wasn’t there, and having him come back into her life after forgetting any memory of him, and then having him AND Eve have to leave to fight Thragg so he can’t harm their family again. Also canon reason when Thragg, Ursaal and Onaan temporarily “killed” her parents and permanently killed Oliver, she had a massive amount of guilt (has a panic attack after Haluma and Debbie catch her training, and on her back after crashing into the ceiling instead of playing with her infant cousins). She felt as if she was too weak to intervene or didn’t try hard enough to protect her family from harm and that she had failed her uncle, or failed to be strong. She feels Olivers obligation to protect her is what killed him, and it shattered her, that she feels because of her, her cousins are now fatherless and Halumas husband is gone. And when Haluma expressed she was afraid of losing her sons next, that definitely ignited a new found fear of Terras; getting killed and having her family weigh the guilt. Markus doesn’t have to bear the guilt of Olivers death, or feel guilty, but Terra does. Terra is envious that Markus always had that father figure beside him, shes jealous that Markus’ adoptive father Scott wasn’t bombarded with missions and enemies that could potentially harm her family or prevent him from being with them. Shes also jealous that the only “father” figure in her life before Mark came back was Kubian, Eves ex and Telia’s brother, and the first person to openly show distain for her for things she cant control (being a Viltrumite and a child), Eves ex who was a piece of shit. And he made it very clear to her that he hated her, while Markus had a loving adoptive father that doted on him and Molly, while her mother’s boyfriend hated her. Terra could also be jealous of the fact that, on a very mild scale, Markus can relate to his (disgusting) mother because they are the same species, look similar, and have the same abilities. In contrast to Eve, Terra and Eve are POLAR opposites, as opposite as mother and daughter can be. Terra doesnt look like Eve (shes 100% debbie/marks clone), she doesn’t have powers similar to Eves, they aren’t even exactly the same species. Markus could look to (BARF) anissa for guidance with his powers and understanding his herritage (well before she died), Terra couldn’t look to her mother to guide her because Eve isn’t a Viltrumite, and therefore lacks the knowledge to help Terra. Terras jealous that Markus has a quiet life with his loved ones that he has the option to be 1 on 1 with, without other people or events flocking in to interrupt, and the only quality time Terra gets with her parents after Marks coronation is being on a mission, training discipline, ex.
Their reasons for envying eachother are actually pretty similar, Terras is jealous of Markus’ dad being emotionally available, Markus is jealous of Terra’s father being their to validate and guide her. They both feel the need to achieve extravagant things in order to be great (Terra going to college to join the Conservation Order to save ecosystems and different planets, Markus becoming the new Invincible, carrying on Marks legacy). They both have major fights/battles, (Terras championship battle that she won against a man more than 5x her size, and Markus fighting that shadow creature that hurled Darkwing back up after he was thought to be dead after the Invincible War concluded). They also bear familial guilt, Markus is guilty of being the product of an event that traumatized Mark for life, and Terra weighs the guilt of being a contributing cause to Olivers death, he died protecting her, and all she could do was cry, because she wasn’t strong enough to fight back, and that there was nothing she could do to save him.
I LOVE THEM SO MUCH THEYRE JUST LITTLE BABIES MY SILLIES I hope they have a more repaired relationship in the show as time goes on, and hopefully get more Molly screentime. I can’t wait to see what Cory’s been brewing up in his witches cauldron on his blog page for Terra and Markus HGEHEG

Why the “betrayal” in chapter 108 is so interesting to me (spoilers for chapter 108 + 110)
Another short terukane analysis, if you can even call it that. Posting at midnight again :3
So this section is started when the big clock is stopped, and akane + teru head to no. 1’s boundary to see whats going on. They see hanako frozen, bully him, yadayadayada not important
Tumblr media
Very very shortly after they get into the boundary, akane is approached by an owl. More specifically a “messenger”, which we can assume was sent by kako or mirai or some other clock keeper person.
the owl flies up to akane, lands on his arm, and tells him something. This “something” seems to shock akane. Well, less of shock factor more of unwant.
Tumblr media
He clearly does not want to comply with what the owl is asking of him/ordering him to do, but again, akane will complain, but when it comes down to it, he’ll do It. He seems somewhat distressed, but when teru is in frame with him his anxious expression disappears and is replaces with that of a content/not particularly happy nor sad nor anything face.
Tumblr media
Then we see him start to talk about the clock to teru, and mention something he needs to “ammend”.
Then, this godforsaken panel comes next
Tumblr media
Now that you understand whats going on i can break it down. we can generally assume this owl told him “stamp him for the trial” or smthn like that, but why would he be so distressed and uncomfortable with doing this?
Tumblr media
He visibly wants to fight back. He really really doesn’t wanna do this. But why? Maybe he doesn’t wanna lose teru’s trust again, maybe he just doesn’t wanna go through with the trial, but no matter what he wants, he goes through with it
if you know teru’s character, like really know his character, you’d know trust is like a big thing for this dude. And he trusts him completely. He trusts him in the place where his supernatural abilities are at their strongest. Akane told him to follow the bird, and he did it without question. Putting his back to him while they walked together, being extremely vulnerable in a place where akane (a supernatural aka his literal born enemy) is at his most powerful
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We cant see his face, so we dont know what he’s thinking, but quickly akane steps forward, and hits him with the mallet, and this panel is born
Tumblr media
This, along with the next two or three panels have alot so lets break these down even further.
for starters, akane knew teru well enough to know how he would react, and moved his hand (that was guarding his sword) away
Tumblr media
And teru’s face is very telling aswell. Ive never seen him make this face before its kinda funny. He looks as if someones just ripped something from him. He knew akane was behind him, but he didnt do this. Who did this to him. Wouldnt akane shout oh i dont know “hey pres watch out” or something?? Whats happening??
he turns and the one thing he was hoping wasn’t true, was true
Tumblr media
It WAS him. Teru’s had a record of responding to distressed moments by taking it out on other people via violence, feeling betrayed, he immediately turns to attack akane.
And akane hits him with the “forgive me president.” with the title for added sincerity, showing he really does care
Tumblr media
Teru not stopping after akane’s told him to multiples times, akane was forced to put him into an even more vulnerable position, this time, without room for withdrawl
Tumblr media
During the trial (chapter 110) alot of people were shitting on teru for not doing anything while akane was being beat up by tsukasa, but dudes in a restraint ofc he cant fucking do anything, he said it himself 😭
Tumblr media
Teru has always seen akane as human, and thats i think one of the things akane likes ab him. Even after literally being half supernatural and welding inhuman abilities, he still sees him as human. Snd therefore treats him like one. But this “betrayal” i feel like changed something for him. He refers to his as a “clock keeper” rather than “aoi” or any other name
(looking at him, signifying its directed at him too)
Tumblr media
Case and point, teru and akane trust and care for eachother (or at least used to) even if they dont say it :3
i feel like theres more but i cant think of anything. I also don’t even know what point i just made here so if u don’t understand, i dont either ur not alone

(Ocs) AITA for not telling my friends I'm a ghost?
So I'm a member of a team of paranormal investigators. I met them about 3 years ago, which was about 5 years after I died. They were hardcore believers in the supernatural.
I was thrilled to have a group I didnt need to explain my situation to, and who would just treat me like a normal person.
They already believed in ghosts, so I thought they'd piece it together, especially since we met at the graveyard, infront of my grave.
The next three years, we traveled the world finding demons, vampires, werewolves, ghouls, and all other manner of supernatural entity, but never ghosts.
Strangely, every time something weird would happen, the teams first instinct was to say it must be a ghost.
At the time, I thought it was a joke at my expense, and would brush them off by saying things like "don't be ridiculous" or "there must be a logical explination" because I'm intimately familiar with the powers ghosts have, and we can't do most of those things.
Recently we checked out an abandoned house. After we took note of all the signs of paranormal activity, I was the first to speak up.
It was a textbook haunting, so said it was probably a ghost.
My team freaked out, and started asking me when I started believing in ghosts. I told them about 8 years ago, when I died.
Turns out they thought I was a hardcore skeptic and none of the other creatures we found could convince me that ghosts are real.
I tried to explain, but they're all pretty mad at me for keeping this a secret, even though I thought they already knew.
So, AITA?

Could you make a little story for Castiel where he meets a young mute girl who communicates through ASL?
Castiel meeting and befriending a mute reader
warnings: Cursing, fluff, angsty (very little) A/n: I am not mute but I am familiar with people I know personally who are deaf and use sign language. Also, I have not watched supernatural in a good while so I don't remember what all powers angels have so some of these might be inaccurate from the show.
credit to @cafekitsune for the banner(s)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This was unexpected for the angel. One second, he's strolling around a town him, Sam, and Dean had stopped at to investigate a large number of murders that have been occurring to sitting on a swing set with a little girl sitting beside him in a park, making hand motions.
She was mute.
He didnt know what these hand motions meant but he was easily able to understand once he read her mind. It was as if she was saying what each meaning of the sign meant as she moved her hands and fingers without moving her lips. He could hear her voice but only in her own conscious.
"Where is your parents? Or guardian?" he asked as he tilted his head with curiosity and concern. The reminder of why he was there in the first place brought him out of his thoughts as worry soon became present on his face. It was safe for someone to be out here on their own, especially a young one at that.
A childish smile appears on your face as you quickly point over to a food truck a few feet away. Your guardian chatting with the owner, their back facing you. Castiel looks to where you were pointing before looking back over at you. The concern slowly leaving his features but not completely gone.
"You be careful when you are out of arms reach from your guardian. Understand?"
You bob your head up and down in response, giving him a thumbs up for more confirmation at his words. Castiel was still a little skeptical at the thought of whatever or whoever has been behind the killings find you and pick you off as a easy target. Many questions started appearing in his head. How would you scream for help? What if no one seen you get taken? What if you cant free yourself from their grasp?
You could see his brows furrow as his eyes drifting toward the dirt in thought. Whatever was on this strange man's mind must've been big as lines formed on his forehead and the corner of his eyes crinkled slightly. You place a hand on the trench coat he adored, even though it was summer time. You started rubbing the fabric between your fingertips, the action making Castiel look down at your hand and then at your face. You suddenly stop the action, staring into his deep colored eyes as well. You thought he had very beautiful eyes. This made a soft smile form on his lips which made your eyes widen. You didnt say that aloud did you? No, that's impossible. Unless?
'Are you a angel?' you signed, this time slower.
The smile on Castiel's face grows as he slowly nods his head, raising his index finger and putting in to his lips as if you both were sharing a secret. Before you could react, your name was shouted. You spun your head around to see your guardian walking over toward you, a hotdog wrapped in tinfoil in each hand. When they finally get close enough you sign,
'I made a friend'
"oh really?" they look around the park curiously before back down at you.
"Where is this friend of yours?"
You turn around expecting to see the man in the trench coat, but he wasn't there. The empty swing was slowly rocking back and forth but no one was there. A wave of confusion and sadness washed over you as your guardian just shrugged it off, taking a seat on the swing the stranger had been, handing you a hotdog.
Back at the bunker, Castiel was sitting in one of the many chairs in the library with his chin propped up on his hand. His back was slumped as he sat in thought. He wanted to protect you. He wanted to be there for you when you needed him. He wanted to be your friend. Dean and Sam finally came back, walking down the stairs and quickly spotting the angel they had been trying to contact.
"Hey man, where the hell did you go? You just wandered off and left us!" Dean was quick to jump on the angels case but he wasn't in the mood to hear any of it and quickly disappeared.
"The hell was that all about?" Castiel left the brothers both confused and concerned.

Ok but! what if Shiragami Shinichi is the closest that prime (canonverse) Shin has ever come to consciously tapping into the latent shinagami instinct/power that nearly every conan/shin has? Like maybe he has to lean into that feral unhingedness to even attempt to control it! would shinigami conan would be proud or annoyed that he didnt commit?I havent watched death note but heck it would work for a Bleach universe too
I have never seen bleach but this seems like a really cool idea! Into the supernatural shinichi-verse
Tumblr media
Shinichi: i hope this doesn’t awaken anything in me
It does, in fact, awake latent death god superpowers

I adore how serious yohaji can get despite being a comedy manga. Although there are comedic elements thrown in, which is expected, you really feel how serious the situation truly is and how high the stakes are. Yohaji has come far from having the typical slice of life troubles to destroying a youkai trafficking ring. Will a time come for Haruaki where things can’t be solve peacefully.
thats how it gets ya, if a story takes itself too seriously it comes off as cringe, but if a story doesn't take itself too seriously you let your guard down and then it sneak attacks you
stakes are real funny in yohaji because of the narrative problem that haruaki is kind of a nuke and can solve any supernatural-based problem with violence, so sensei has to work around that almost
it gets sidestepped a bit by haruaki Not Wanting To Do Violence (which is also what some comments i've seen totally miss, the comments like "why doesn't he realise the bracelet is blocking his power")
but yohaji gets funnier in retrospect once you realise "what's stopping haruaki from solving this with violence" is a question tanamai has to constantly answer for for every single conflict that arises
miki arc: haruaki Does Not Want to straight up kill miki's mom. also rip out his soul take him out of commission for a bit lol
youkai train: for once a case where the solution is violence, the problem is "how"!
renren arc: not using his power is the one rule explicitly set at the very start (and also set like, thematically), almost certainly to preempt this question
turned into a student: ah see! he did try it! didnt work cus hes asleep!
kyoto arc: an actual ordeal that could have been solved by his nuke (and is eventually solved by it), that's why he got taken out of commission immediately and spends half of it MIA
meiji arc: actually too insane of a circumstance to solve with brute force even if he wanted to

If we're right and Byler is canon, I genuinely think that Mike getting Vecna-ed and revealing his internalized homophobia and feelings for Will is the entire reason for this season's monster being related to trauma and secrets. The demogorgan, demodogs, and the Mind Flayer were monsters separate from people, just attacking and possessing, not really too concerned with what's going on with the inner lives of humans. So why this big jump to a villain that's getting all involved in everyone's personal business? Because the Duffers needed to finally make the big reveal about Mike for the general audience.
Obviously Vecna being human and tying into El's past is important, but there's no story reason that we've seen established for why Vecna needed to attack via a psychic connection and dig into trauma pre-kill in order to open gates. That wasn't a necessary element for the 001 and El backstory. The Duffer Brothers could have used any new method for a villain to attack the group, the options were limitless. They chose this specifically, in what is a pretty marked difference from previous villains. So why trauma? Why is Vecna so nosy? How does this affect our main characters who are the heart of the show?
Obviously Max dealing with Billy's death and the metaphor of Max fighting to live and overcome her guilt was huge, but it could have been explored in other ways outside of the supernatural plotline. Max struggling with that loss wasn't a secret or a surprise to the audience or even the other characters. We see Nancy continuing to confront her guilt over Barb, which again, we didn't need Vecna for, we've seen that pop up previously over the seasons outside of the supernatural plots.
But for our minor characters of ST4, we see this particular method of Vecna's attacks used as a way to reveal secrets to the audience. Calling back to Benny, Barb, Mrs. Driscoll, Heather, etc, this show doesn't usually care about revealing a lot about the characters with early season deaths. However, this season we have a villain that reveals the secrets of1 these characters: Chrissy and her abusive mom, Fred and the car accident, Patrick and physical abuse at home. We had seen these 3 characters from the outside at first, seeing them function outside of us knowing their trauma, getting glimpses of their day to day, with little to no hints of what's going on underneath, before diving into the trauma that Vecna attacked them with. It is set up that the trauma is a reveal, a peek behind the curtain.
We as the audience are now primed to expect that secrets regarding trauma will come out, and of course using Vecna as a secret-revealing method in the story isn't just going to be used for minor characters that die in the first half of the season. We are being prepared for this to be used again on one of our main characters in the same way: seeing a character living their day to day life, and then getting hit with the trauma lurking underneath the surface that we didnt know about previously. Max and Nancy getting Vecna-ed didn't reveal anything brand new to the audience, but instead further explored things we already knew about. With no big reveal or surprise from Nancy or Max, obviously we're still waiting for the bigger payoff. We saw how powerful Max's scene was, and that was only halfway through the season. They are planning to go bigger still for the season finale.
I know a lot of people have wondered: Will or Mike, who is getting Vecna-ed? And while I agree that seeing Will get Vecna-ed would be interesting, I think back to the question of why the Duffer Brothers chose to write the big bad of this season this way. Most of the general audience knows Will's secret, anyone who is paying attention knows he's gay and likes Mike, that didn't require a whole trauma-based monster to prove. Which leaves Mike, who has a secret and shame so internalized that the Duffer Brothers needed to make the penultimate season's villain written with the ability to supernaturally reveal secrets and trauma. If it's not used on Mike to reveal something big that the general audience hasn't already realized, then why did the Duffers even bother with making Vecna attack in this way?
We haven't focused on any other characters and their strange behavior without also having an explanation for why they're acting how they're acting. We see that Max broke up with Lucas because she's struggling with depression, we see Jonathon and Nancy struggle with the long distance relationship and have different college plans but they get to explain their motivations to Argyle and Fred, we see El lying because she's insecure in her relationship with Mike and struggling with the bullying and the loss of Hopper, we see Will getting upset with Mike and El because he's jealous and pining for Mike. (Personally I'm all on board with Will having powers but I don't think he's aware of that yet, so that's not a personal secret, it's a plot reveal).
We see Mike acting strangely to El and to Will, but he's the only character that we don't get a spelled out explanation for. And that's because the reasoning is so internalized and suppressed by Mike, and the Duffers, recognizing that, wrote a monster specifically to force Mike to confront his feelings for Will. As far as I've seen about what's being hinted at, there aren't any other characters with a secret that would necessitate a supernatural trauma reveal. And this season had to have been written this way with a reason in mind, a deeply hidden secret to be revealed. This huge build up and payoff is not that Mike has problems saying I love you to El because of his parents' loveless marriage, that would be so not worth Vecna's intervention. The reveal we're building up to is big enough that the Duffers felt it necessitated a supernatural villain to reveal a secret to the audience, to show us how hard it is confront internalized homophobia and how deeply rooted it is. The show isn't random, it's written in ways to display the characters feeling and experiencing things we can relate to. And if it's not as big and as surprising as this will be for the general audience, then what was the point of writing Vecna to attack this way? The reason we got a monster that functions the way Vecna does is because this is Mike's season to confront his sexuality and feelings for Will.

I HAD ANOTHER IDEA
Morpheus and badass warrior/Valkyrie reader like they're almost his height and more muscle-y and a super good fighter and Morpheus kinda likes when they manhandle him and get a lil rough but he's supernaturally strong too so he can fight back a bit and they get all riled up 🥵🥵
Headlock Of Love
Dream of the Endless x Valkyrie!Reader
Summary: Matthew was making a log of every interaction between you and his master. In an exciting turn of events, the whole of The Dreaming, upon learning of this log, began placing their bets on their favored fighter. The conflict of the bet? Which of you will realize you both like each other first.
Word Count: 1k+
Warnings: Dense!Dream & Reader, tall buff and hot!reader, crackfic, fluff, typos.
A/N: GIRL YOU ARE SUCH A BAD INFLUENCE WITH YOUR REQUESTS YOU KNOW I HAVE HOMEWORK GRRRR. It's not funny i've got school. /: but i guess i should thank you for this cause the other dream req i finished was depressing T_T if you read it T_T tell me what you think. ALSO BESTIE YOU DIDNT EVEN GIVE ME A CHANCE TO FINISH THIS BEFORE REQUESTING AGAIN [foams in the mouth] AND I WILL NEVER FORGIVE YOU FOR IT BECAUSE THAT REQ WAS SO CUTE AND I have TO WRITE IT 🚓🚓🚓🚓🚓 THE POLICE ARE COMING FOR YOU respectfully disrespectfully looking sir (the gif is so large to T_T) Tagging: @deniixlovezelda @shadow-pancake9 [@pinksirensong btw do you seriously want me to tag you in everything????]
Tumblr media
"No," Matthew squawks at Lucienne, "no, you're lying."
Lucienne shakes her head as Matthew cocks his head the way birds do at the sound of laughter echoing in the library. The raven hops on the table as he watches his master and the Valkyrie recount whatever it was they were recounting.
"My lord," Lucienne interrupts them, causing them to turn to each to her in sync, "I have found the book you are looking for."
"Ah yes," Dream nods, extending his hand out to the librarian, "thank you, Lucienne."
"Thank you, Lucienne," I echo, turning back to Dream, "you did not have to go through the trouble," I turn back to her, "both of you."
Lucienne smiles and simply nods.
"I am sure Lucienne would agree sharing knowledge is never a trouble," Dream smiles.
"He's freaking smiling," Matthew mutters under his breath, making Lucienne shoot him a dirty look.
"Especially not for my favorite Valkyrie."
"Favorite Valkyrie, Loosh!" Matthew whisper-yells.
Lucienne rolls her eyes, "They have been like this for centuries-- millennium."
"Do not say that to my sisters, my lord," I chuckle at Dream's sentiment.
"Well, I do not have to mind myself. I do not find the need to converse with any other Valkyrie anyway."
"He does not find the need to converse with any-" Matthew is cut off by Lucienne's dark expression.
Log 1: A Battle of Hypotheticals
Lucienne eyed Matthew hotly, muttering under her breath, repeatedly, "don't do it, do not do it, don't you dare do it."
Matthew did it anyway.
"Hey, miss Valkyrie," the raven says, fluttering to my side of my shoulder as I make my way to the throne. I turn to the black feathered creature and smile, "oh, hello, sweet raven. How can I be of assistance?"
"Yeah, I was just thinking," Matthew starts, "you're one of the strongest beings in the galaxy."
My nostrils flare, "I am flattered that you think this."
"So, I was wondering: who would win in a fight between you and Dream?"
I freeze in my place, right in front of Dream who was sitting on his throne. He closes the book in his hand with a loud thud upon hearing Matthew's question.
The two of us begin to get nervous under the King of Dreams' stare.
"I..." I start "would never want to be on the bad side of your master-"
"No I know!" Matthew croaks quickly, making Dream lift his head up, "It's just-- without his powers, I think you could take him."
I turn to Matthew, who was looking down at me from my shoulder. I did not know why he was suddenly telling me this, and I ponder at his words before retorting, "I agree."
"You agree?" Matthew mutters.
Dream's deep voice echoes, "you agree?"
Log 1.2: A Battle of Strength
"This is all your fault," Lucienne sighs, crossing her arms as she watches the king and the warrior ready before them in a 'friendly' sparring match.
"Hey! I thought they'd have some cute banter, then I would-"
"They do not know how to banter!"
"What do you mean they don't know how to banter, that's all they do!"
"That's just how they speak to each other," Lucienne snaps.
"Hey, I didn't think he'd pull out a fucking sword!" Matthew watches Dream as he twisted the massive weapon in his had. It was ridiculously large that, in theory, he should not have been able to lift in the first place. "What the heck even is that- WHY IS IT ON FIRE!?"
Lucienne rolls her eyes.
"Are you certain you can take me while you are unarmed?" Dream asks for the 3rd time as I roll my neck.
"You're not allowed to use your powers, my lord," I stretch my arms, "I would be distressed if I offended you by either holding back or defeating you too quickly."
Dream's laugh is deep and rich, "you know me too well."
Matthew gasps, "You know me too-"
"Oh shut it!" Lucienne cuts off
Log 1.3: Fatality
"Boss," "My lord," & "Dream," is shouted three ways.
"I knew this would happen," Lucienne mutters as she rushes over while Matthew flies over head.
I was on my knees, hunched over the form that was effectively knocked out on the floor with a bloody nose. I was lightly and rapidly slapping his cheek as my other hand holds his head up by his nape, "Dream. Dream. Dream. Dream, wake up."
"Nice shot!" Matthew says, landing right beside his boss' head.
"MATTHEW!" Lucienne and I shout.
Matthew croaks.
It seems the loud shout was enough to wake the Dream Lord.
I let out a sigh of relief when he begins to groan and stir.
"My lord," Lucienne sighs, relaxing, "I warned you that it would be a good idea to do this, even with Dragon's Breath."
Dream does not seem to hear her as he reaches out to touch my cheek, "you've grown stronger through the centuries."
Matthew gasps, "You've grown stronger throu-"
I chuckle as I give him a guilty look, "My lord, I did not intend to-"
"Nonsense," Dream smiles with his teeth, thumb rubbing my cheek, "you were exquisite."
"You were exqui-"
"But your nose is bleeding," I whimper, pulling him up until he was sitting down.
Dream withdraws his hand to wipe his philtrum and smirks at the blood on his hand, "I admit, I did not think it possible to both injure and knock me out in my own realm."
"Dream, I-"
"I thank you for the valuable lesson, my dear."
"I thank you for the valuable-" Matthew could not finish his whispers as Lucienne stomps at him.
Log 245 243 ???
"I told you that it was pointless," Lucienne plainly mutters under her breath as she flips the page of the book she was lazily reading.
No one could hear her though from where she sat at the far end of the long table as the lot of the Dreaming congregated in the library to discuss their bids and bets.
"How are we so sure that your logs are accurate and they haven't already confessed!" Cain accuses Matthew as the rest of the members of the table break out in an uproar.
"Yeah! You could be scamming us for our money!" Abel agrees, pointing a finger.
"Well, maybe because I'm not the one who's taking the bets, and it's Gilbert!" Matthew says snapping at Fiddler Green's human form.
Gilbert clears his throat as everyone at the table turns to him.
"You dirty cheat," Cain says.
Gilbert raises his hands, "I can assure you, Matthew's logs are accurate because I have witnessed most of these logs myself during their strolls in Fiddler's Green."
"I say we shake him down for all the loose change he's got," Mervyn points his gloved finger to Gilbert before crossing his arms, making another uproar resound in the library.
And yet all it takes to silence them was an "oh."
The whole room turns to me.
"I'm sorry to have interrupted your meeting," I throw my thumb over my shoulder, "I'll just leave."
"Nonsense," Lucienne stands from her seat, "they were all just leaving, actually. You may continue whatever business it is that you need here."
"Oh, yes," I smile, "I was actually in search for the king. I have word of his-"
"Have you kissed him yet," Cain asks out of nowhere, making me slap my hands on my lips. My eyes grow wide, "I beg your pardon?"
"Cain," Abel warns, shoving him. Cain doesn't give a shit, "I'm only aski-"
"I do not understand why you would accuse me of such a treasonous thing."
"Treason huh," Mervyn shakes his pumpkin head at my words.
We all turn to the side when my name is called out.
My cover my entire lower face with hand when Dream comes up to my side. His brows knit at the looks of me, "are you quite alright."
Everyone but us watches the room when it begins to darken.
Dream, once he is stood before me, shoots a dark glare to his side, making everyone evade his look, "did they say something to offend you?"
I feel my body begin to burn in embarrassment at his words. When Dream turns back to me and reaches out to touch my arm, I flinch then run away.
A breath leaves him as he watches, and soon enough, his form begins to grow bigger. If that did not strike fear in you, I don't know what will.
"IT WAS ABEL!" Cain shouts, pointing to his brother, "ABEL ASKED HER IF SHE KISSED YOU YET!!!"
"What?" Abel helplessly mutters.
Dream's voice reverberates the entire Dreaming, "what?"

A Look Inside Max Mayfield’s “last word” letters to the party: El
Hey El,
Gosh, it’s been so long since I’ve written those two words. Too long, really.
How are you? Are you.. are you doing okay? I know that’s a silly question considering the shitty circumstances of this letter but I hope you are, you deserve every good thing that happens to you. Even if that was me… leaving. Or, pulling away, I guess.
This vecna asshole better leave you alone. Tell him he better not mess with you. It doesn’t matter that I probably won’t be here soon, he better leave you alone. I’ll make sure he does. Somehow.
Shit, I’m so fucking sorry for not writing to you. I miss you so much, you have no idea. And now you’re not even going to see this until after… well. I’m not stupid, I know you miss me too, or… at least that you care, even though I tried to convince myself you didn’t. I got your letters, I read all of them. You’re too good for me El, way more than you even know. I know we technically haven’t known each other for that long but, you’re the best friend I’ve ever had. I feel like I’ve known you my whole life. I really wish I did, honestly. My life is better with you in it… it still is.
Lucas and Dustin and Steve, they’re all set on saving me, but this vecna guy… he’s really strong. He’s like you, with powers, but like, way less awesome of a person. I don’t think I’m going to make it. Is it selfish of me to wish you weren’t in California? Just so I could see you before I.. go? I’m glad you’re safe though. I just miss you, is all.
I have a bit of a confession. Multiple confessions, technically. And since this is like… my dramatic last words or whatever I should probably tell you. You’re my best friend, so if anyone should know, it’s you.
I’ve never really felt totally in with the party, you know? It was nothing they did, they’re great, really, even Mike. Don’t tell him I said this but I kinda get why you like him, under all his shit, sometimes he’s kinda sweet. Seriously please don’t tell him I said that, if I actually manage to live he’d never let me hear the end of it. Not that… well if you’re reading this that means I wouldn’t really, well. Be here.
Anyway, I got off topic, it’s so easy to do with you though and I wish we could talk more, and I miss you so much and I but anyway my point was, Mike and Lucas and Dustin and Will, they’ve all known each other for so long. They’re all so close and I’m just… I’m just here yknow? I’m just me.
But then I met you. Like, really met you. And I don’t mean when I just vaguely heard about you from Lucas and Dustin who talked about you like you were some otherworldly mystical sorcerer, and then saw you once right before you had to go off again to close a massive supernatural gate. I mean when I met you. And really… you were “just you” too. Just like me.
And El, you is so much. I don’t mean your powers, I just mean you, who you are. You got me, in a way no one else has, not even Lucas sometimes and that’s what and you didnt even have to say it, you just understood. We’re both outsiders, even with the party sometimes, but… never with each other.
El, you’re so fucking special to me. I hope you know that. Please know that. You’re more than your powers, than what you can do for other people, you’re just… so amazing, and supportive, and kind, and beautiful just as you.
Although, I guess if you’re reading this that means I’m not here so… you deserve to know. I think you’re beautiful, El. This is going to sound so cheesy but I really think you’re so beautiful, inside and out. Even when I’m not here, you can’t let anyone make you think otherwise okay? I know you won’t, you’re strong, without anyone else.
I wish I could say more but if I let this keep going I’ll be here all day, and I won’t get to our other friends letters, and then of course Mike would whine to you and Will about it, so I gotta save you guys from that. You’re just… I feel safe with you. Talking with you. Even if you’re not really here.
I’m sorry El. I’m so, so sorry. I’ll try to fight him okay? I wouldn’t forgive myself if I didn’t, because you don’t deserve this shitty letter as my last words to you. You don’t deserve any of this. Or me. I’m sorry.
Love,
Max
