Get Well Soon
Danny is sick and his powers are going crazy.
For the prompt: Danny comes down with a nasty, but totally regular cold. It's not the first time he's been sick since he got his powers, and normally, it's no big deal, but this time his powers are acting up, setting off randomly every so often. It's never very long, but it IS getting hard to hide, especially as he starts to recover. (AKA: sickfic with shenanigans) [from @gottacatchghosts]

[No applicable warnings]
Danny was dying. He was definitely gonna die. He was already half dead, but this vile infection was going to do him in the rest of the way. He moaned in pain and distress.
"Stop being so dramatic, Danny," Sam told him, rolling her eyes. "It's just a regular cold. It's not even a ghost flu or anything like that. It's a perfectly normal, run-of-the-mill cold, and you're gonna be fine."
"Are you sure about that, Sam?" Danny asked. 
His voice was low and nasally, thanks to his stuffy nose and sore throat, and he promptly buried his face in his blankets and burst into a coughing fit. 
When he looked up again, Sam was staring at him, wide-eyed.
He looked down at himself curiously, wondering what she was looking so freaked about. White gloves and black sleeves met his swimming vision.
"Just a normal cold, huh?" He looked at her and raised an eyebrow—probably both actually. His muscle control wasn't the best at the moment.
"It is just a cold," she insisted. "We've already run the tests, and there's absolutely no chance at all that this virus is in any way ghost related. It's a regular cold, Danny. You're just gonna have to tough it out until it goes away."
Danny groaned in despair and agony.
"But Saaaammm."
"I don't know what you think I can do about it. I'm rich, not magic."
He groaned again, and Sam shuddered as the temperature in the room suddenly dropped to freezing, and a thin sheen of frost formed on Danny's window.
He'd had colds before since getting his powers, and normally, it wasn't that big a deal. It sucked, sure; being sick always sucked. But nothing like this had ever happened before. His powers had never acted up like this before, and he'd never lost control of his powers.
Sam walked over and opened his window to let the cold air escape.
"I've gotta get going," she told him apologetically. "You should change back before your parents come in to check on you. Fair warning, your mom was making soup when I came in."
"Thanks for the warning," he grumbled, and sniffed.
It took more concentration than usual to shift back into his Fenton form, but it seemed he hadn't completely lost control of his powers... yet, at least.
It was only a few minutes later that his mom came in, carrying a steaming mug full of chicken soup.
"Hi sweetie, how you feeling?" she asked, her voice dripping with sympathy.
"I feel half dead," Danny replied with a small smirk. 
He felt a sneeze coming on, but held it in. He knew what would happen.
"Oh, I'm sorry," she told him pouted. "Do you need anything? Cough syrup? Hot tea? Marshmallows? Oh!" 
She turned to look in her utility belt, and as she did so, Danny let loose a sneeze, and the accompanying ghost-ray that shot out from him and scorched the wall opposite his bed, only narrowly missing his mother.
"Your dad found his old Game Boy," she said, pulling out a device lat looked kind of like Tucker's PDA, but way more eighties. "You don't have to take it if you don't want, but since you're stuck in bed right now, it might be fun, just to pass the time."
Danny put his mug of soup down on his bedside table, wiped his sweaty hands off on his blankets, and took the device from his mom. Examining it to figure out how exactly it worked. The controls were fairly intuitive, but he couldn't find the 'on' button. His mother laughed softly.
Well if that keeps you entertained, then my work here is done. She patted her knees, stood up and walked out the door with a gentle, "Get well soon, sweetie."
As soon as the door closed, Danny sneezed again. A ghost ray shot out and his the door where his mother's head had been a moment before.
Yeah... he'd better get well soon.
The Game Boy only had Tetris, Pac-Man, and the Ghostbusters 2 video game, so Danny chose to play the one game that didn't have ghosts in it, only to discover rather quickly that he sucked ass at Tetris. That didn't stop him from trying, even though his record at this point was 16 lines.
He was starting to get chills now, but he remained steadfastly focused on his game until his dad came into the room.
"Ah, the old Game Boy," he said fondly, sitting on the edge of the bed with his back to Danny. "You know, I can get all the way to level two hundred and fifty-six on Pac-Man. Spent a whole summer trying to get a perfect score, but I never quite got there."
"I'm playing Tetris," Danny said.
A chill wracked his body and he saw his hands disappear and gasped softly. Thankfully his dad didn't notice, or the man might've turned around to look and seen empty air where his son had been a moment before. Danny quickly turned himself visible again.
"Oh... yeah, there was a deal going when I bought the Game Boy," his dad explained, oblivious as usual to the paranormal activity happening behind him. "It came with a free copy of Tetris. I tried it a few times, but the best score I ever got was twenty rows before I finally gave up."
"Yeah," Danny commiserated. "I've only gotten up to 16 so far."
He shuddered again with a chill and turned invisible once more. Then his dad started to turn toward him and Danny desperately snapped back into the visible spectrum.
"Well, as long as you're having fun, that's all that matters," his dad said.
Danny smiled in response, just relieved he'd managed to turn visible again before his dad saw—or rather, didn't see.
They didn't talk long before his dad left, and he was in his room alone again, free to turn invisible as much as he liked—whether he wanted to or not.
It was more-or-less fine when he was mostly left alone in his room with no one to see his powers acting up. He was still sick, and he still felt like death, but at least he didn't have to worry to much about his secret identity being found out.
But a few days later, he started to recover. He could get up and walk around the house, and people spent more time around him because they were less worried about catching his cold. The problem with that was, even though he was on the mend, his powers were still acting up.
Once, when he was microwaving some soup, he randomly went intangible and fell halfway through the kitchen floor. Thankfully Jazz had been the only one to see, and she'd helped pull him back up, but if his parents had been there, he'd have been screwed. 
When he was watching TV with his mom, he'd had a light cough and when he looked up, he saw that he'd accidentally made the coasters on the coffee table start floating. Thankfully, she'd been too focused on the drama they were watching together to notice, but it had been a close call.
His cold was almost gone, but he wasn't out of the woods yet.
Truly, he couldn't get well soon enough.

I feel like people have been quick to dismiss Mimzy's importance in Ep. 5
Tumblr media
I've been seeing a lot of Mimzy hate, mainly on Reddit, where people are genuinely REALLY hating on Mimzy because she was annoying, interrupted Hell's Greatest Dad, and served no purpose in the episode.
Whilst the previous two points are down to personal taste, I feel like considering Mimzy's role in this episode nonexistent, or that she just exists for fanservice here, is greatly overlooking what this episode is about. There are two focuses to the episode, one of course being Lucifer and his relationship with Charlie, but it's also the deepest look into Alastor's actual character that we've gotten so far, I'd say significantly more than the finale. We see two sides to Alastor that both Mimzy and Luficier bring out, and I wanted to kind of highlight my thoughts and what the episode was trying to show us about Alastor that we wouldn't have gotten if Mimzy wasn't there.
Tumblr media
Alastor's instant hostility towards Lucifer makes it incredibly clear that Alastor can't keep his cool all the time - his two biggest flaws is that he is power-hungry and incredibly petty. From what we know - and what is likely to be true considering Lucifer is shown to have no idea who he is - Alastor has never met Lucifer before this. If the theories that he belongs to Eve/Lilith in some way are true, there is reasonable ground to say that this immediate hatred towards him could be justified, maybe it was in some way Lucifer's fault that he's caught in this deal and this is his way of taking it out on him or trying to uphold his end of that deal.
But look how much his mask slips, look how annoyed and angry he is. If this was a font that he was doing to somehow make Lucifer intentionally mad at him for some sort of personal gain, he wouldn't have looked so murderous. Him just leaning down and hissing 'fuck you' right in his face was so shocking for the audience purely because no one has done that to him before, no one has pushed him so much.
This indicates that Alastor isn't just playing some sort of game, Lucifer genuinely got under his skin, because he is so obviously more powerful than Alastor and he HATES that. He hates being reminded that he's not the biggest meanest in Hell - this was explored more in his showdown in Adam, but at the time of this episode's release, this is the most flawed and 'human' Alastor has ever felt. He's dropped from this force of mysterious evil, to randomly picking a fight with the Devil himself because he was so catty about being shown up.
Tumblr media
As further reinforced with him snapping at Husk when he also reminded him he wasn't as all-powerful as he sees himself to be, Alastor will lash out at those who make him feel like he isn't the one in control and pulling the strings of everything - we finally see a hint of motivation for him sticking around at the hotel at all.
But then there's Mimzy.
Tumblr media
We immediately go from seeing Alastor at his worst, at his most aggravated and petty, to seeing him literally melt into a hug. The demon who, according to Viv herself, hates physical contact so much that he would distort and melt himself to get away from it. We so quickly go from being shocked that Alastor is behaving so spitefully to now having to take in Alastor being ecstatic to see someone who he considers to be a friend.
Having this be so directly after his massive tiff with Lucifer is so important. If this wasn't included in this episode, our only insight into the person Alastor actually is would be that he's an asshole. Picking fights with people just because he wants to stay on top, that its the thing he cares about the most. But Mimzy does come along, and we see that it isn't true at all - and its confusing, and that is so perfect.
You think you're getting somewhere with the person Alastor is, but you see that, hold on, there is actually a semblance of heart in there, here he is actually caring about someone. But what is so important about this being a relationship he shares with Mimzy, and something that couldn't at all be explored with, say, Rosie, is the kind of person Mimzy is.
Tumblr media
Mimzy double crossed Alastor. And, according to Husk, this is a somewhat regular occurace. We can see that Alastor is annoyed at her, and I think most of us were prepared for him to do something to her like he was doing to those loan sharks a few seconds before this confrontation.
But...he doesn't. Not at all, he doesn't even snap at her. Perhaps scold her a bit, but other than that, he is so nice to her and just politely tells her to leave and that is that. He does more shit to Lucifer, who literally hasn't done nothing but exist in his presence, than someone who just trampled all over his ego by using him, both as a shield and, well, somewhat emotionally.
In this episode, Alastor is shown to lash out. Easily. All you have to do is be more powerful than Alastor, and he won't like you - that's the impression you'd get from his scenes with Lucifer alone. But we have his scenes with Mimzy as well, and you're being told, hold on, no, that isn't quite correct, because he's not acting the same here. What has Alastor got to gain from letting Mimzy get off of this with no repercussions? Mimzy, someone who has probably sold her soul to someone else and has absolutely no power at all.
Nothing. He does it because Alastor cares about her.
Tumblr media
I don't think I would have considered his friendship with Rosie to be genuine at all if it wasn't for his friendship with Mimzy. Rosie is so powerful, and Alastor has so much to gain from being in close cahoots with her, but it's so clear that he doesn't care about that, but he sees her as an equal. If all we saw from Alastor in that episode was him lusting for power, it would render the way we see all his relationships with people to be of some gain to him somehow. ESPECIALLY Rosie and other Overlords like Zestial.
Tumblr media
This makes Alastor and Mimzy's relationship arguably one of the most interesting in the show. Someone who is so powerful and unpredictable, who hardly cares for anyone other than himself, caring about this absolute gremlin of a woman. He likes Mimzy purely because she's fun to be around, a sentiment you might expect from Alastor, with his stated reasoning for joining the hotel being to laugh at people, but he's in no way laughing at Mimzy. You can tell that he doesn't intimidate her at all, because she has the absolute balls to pull off the loan shark thing with him.
Tumblr media
Mimzy and Lucifer's interactions with Alastor has made him to be one, if not THE most interesting character in the show. Because you're exploring two contradictory sides of the same coin at once. One where he gets so worked up and angry over not having the power he sees himself as having, and one where he's visibly hurt that his long time friend used him. In one instance you have him pulling out all the stops to be as hostile as he could be to Lucifer without actually hurting him (even though he clearly wants to), and another where he has full range to hurt Mimzy as much as he wants to, but he doesn't.
Alastor cares about people. But also disregards people like playing cards. He is such a mixed bag, so far from being one note, and you wouldn't have gotten that insight without Mimzy.

Sexy devil fruit power shenanigans - headcanon
Tumblr media
Eating a devil fruit changed them forever. And it affected their behaviour, too!
Headcanon about how Sabo, luffy, law, smoker and kinemon use their ability with you and in their daily life
18+
If you liked this one, have a look at my masterlist for headcanons and stories
Law
His room ability has to be used consciously, it doesn't just happen by itself, which suits him just fine. Can't just make a room whenever he's having whicked thoughts while staring at you
Loves to float in his room and doze like that. He wasn't sure if you'd like it too, so it took him a while to ask. Now it's your quality time.
Having absolute control inside the room has opened up new possibility of playing with you
It's very draining for him, but sometimes in the evenings, he is too lazy to get up, so he just makes a big room and shambles you into his bed together with a few snacks. It often happens, by pure coincidence of course, that you're just done showering and your towel is not coming with you
When you can't be together for a while, he begs for your hand. To cut off. And keep so he doesn't feel lonely.
You may not leave it when you're going on a trip, but sometimes you let him have it for a few hours. Let's just say it's kind of exciting when you're going about your day and suddenly feel him kissing your hand and than makes you stroke him
Sabo
Having powers of fire has made him even more of a cinnamon role than before, his temper burns hotter than ever
When he is agitated or excited, flames appear around him. You can tell when he's having naughty thoughts whenever blue flames dance around him
He's burnt more than one bed when he couldn't control his power or his passion. He still can't forgive himself for burning you once with his too hot kisses
So foreplay is now cool-down play where he really needs to take the edge off before touching you - by touching himself as he watches you...
When he's really moody, he makes little puffs of smoke without noticing it
Heat and spiciness is no longer an issue for him. No burrito is too hot for him, no chilli too spicy. He has been banned from all eating competitions regarding hot foods
Luffy
His gummi powers have a strong influence on his bodies viscosity, that's how he stretches
Whenever he is relaxed, his body becomes very soft, when he is really, really relaxed he almost becomes a fluid
So after your first night together, he became a happily snoring, super- soft and cuddly pillow. His arms were still inescapable though
Whenever your gone and he has to sleep by himself, his hands stretch and search for you, making it really hard for everyone else to sleep
His creeping hands turn up whenever you least expect them, too bad he's really good with them. Eating together with the others has become agony since he realized he can just fondle you from under the table
Smoker
He prides himself on the absolute control he has over his powers, so whenever he turns into smoke randomly or the room gets very foggy, he gets defensive and gives a bad, bad explanation why he wanted to do that
He wants to keep your relationship a secret, so he creeps through windows or doors as smoke, materialising bit by bit in your bed
He can effectively divide his body by only partly turning into smoke - it gives him very interesting abilities to please you in unusual ways
He doesn't admit it, but he cannot leave you alone. So even on absolutely sunny days, a suspicious cloud is following you around.
Kinemon
His dress up ability turned you into the most stylish girl over night. Since he has to picture it in his mind first, his perverted thinking also turned you into the sluttiest
Since he can create anything in a few seconds, you save lots of time in the morning and with laundry. Since it also vanishes in an instant, you safe time undressing, too
Kinemon uses this with delight when he catches you alone during the day, he has you in your underwear in a heartbeat - and dressed once you are finished
He gets very creative with lingerie and straps. Whenever he has a new idea, he is giddy all day until he can see how you look wearing it

i had a vision and drew it - and even better, i got a fic idea from it!
johnny cage > discovery
johnny discovers his new powers unexpectedly. maybe he wasn't as ordinary as others thought.
warnings: johnny thinks he's dying and gets all crisis-y, established relationship
notes: imagine instead of activating his powers in a life or death situation, it randomly bodyslams him like a heart attack - and it scares the hell out of him. also i hope u like my silly sketch :3
masterlist <3
Tumblr media
• johnny's life was crumbling. his movies were flopping hard, and people were starting to forget his name. his spending habits were out of control, and you two were arguing about it so much that you grew tired of hearing your own voice. most days were the cold shoulder or shouting matches. things weren't looking great.
• it was during one of these matches when the shouting on his end abruptly paused, and he doubled over. your anger was shoved aside as you dashed forward to inspect his current state. but, just as soon as it started, it was over in a flash. johnny was startled, to say the least. his eyes were wide and he was panting.
• you guys assumed the stress was taking a toll on him, a physical toll. out of respect for his well-being, you held your tongue from that point on. or at least, you tried to. everything was relatively quiet until a mysterious yakuza member demanded the sword on your shared mantle. you would've thrown it at him if given the opportunity since the damn thing sent you back millions. johnny, however, wasn't as willing. fortunately for your safety's concern, he was the ultimate home security system, tying up the man after knocking him unconscious.
• we all know the rest. "what in the actual-" "i am the god of fire" "get your damn hands off him" "that's no special effect" "change the arc of your lives." blah blah blah. it was all a weird blur. apparently, you, johnny, and this new "friend" of yours were all chosen to fight for something bigger than a malibu disagreement. you were a fighter alongside your husband, but you did it competitively. johnny did it for the cameras, which isn't to say he's worse naturally. he could kick ass, and so could you, just in different directions.
• liu kang warned everyone that training would take months, as the tournament was far down the line. johnny grew impatient, and you grew tense with his lack of eagerness to actually train. regardless, you sparred and took the monk's advices to heart.
• johnny wouldn't tell you at first, since he didn't want to distract your own progress, but he would oftentimes catch himself feeling... funny, for lack of a better phrase. during meals, his eyes would unfocus and his hearing sounded underwater. at night, he'd toss and turn for hours in the cot beside yours. something felt wrong, really wrong. his chest felt fluttery and cold, like a sprite weaving between his ribs. it scared the holy hell out of him, considering how prone is family is to heart attacks.
• "great session! whaddya say to a well-deserved break?" he'd announce out of concealed desperation to the other earthrealmers, hoping that someone would agree and he'd be able to excuse himself to loosen his collar and sit down for a moment. it was after the fifth time asking in a day that you approached him with genuine concern.
• "honey, are you alright?" you asked gently, putting a hand on his shoulder. his eyes followed your touch and he sighed, moving your hand to his chest.
• "i-i'm afraid," he'll confess quietly, glancing behind you to make sure nobody was overhearing his moment of worry. "i haven't been feeling well, but i can't just drop everything and leave. not when my career's in the shithole. we've got nothing to return to. this fire god guy needs me, needs us, and i know damn well you'd follow me out if i stepped back from all of this."
• johnny's tragic worry struck a chord in your heart and you couldn't help but agree with his words. you advised him to ask a monk about decongestant tea, or some other simple remedy that would keep you at the academy.
• things died down, or at least, johnny's pain wouldn't be verbalized for a while. you and the boys were actually gaining significant strength and conditioning with the brutal training regime liu kang assigned. when he felt everyone was finally prepared to choose a champion, he assembled a king of the hill type of tournament on campus grounds.
• you stood between johnny and kenshi, a palpable tension on your husband's shoulders. his jaw was clenched tight, as were his fists. he looked... terrified. this wasn't a normal expression for the star.
• "johnny?" you whisper to him, reaching down to intertwine your fingers with his. before you could fully articulate your concerns, he speaks up.
• "i don't feel well," he murmurs in return, eyes fixated at the platform in front of you all. he visibly pales.
• liu kang calls you to the platform as the first contestant, and you obediently oblige with a bow, waiting for further instruction. your eyes danced across your potential competitors — raiden and kung lao, the humble farmers. kenshi, the enigmatic swordsman... and your husband, who looked as if he was shitting himself and moments away from puking.
• "you will face (reader), johnny cage."
• "a-are you sure? because that's my spouse, and i'd hate to—"
• liu kang frowns. johnny puts his hands up in a surrender motion, a pathetic attempt at remaining playful, and hoists himself to the platform across from you. his position readies, as does yours.
• though he may be visibly under the weather, the technique is still there. johnny's fighting style is unique and calculate, effortlessly playful and charismatic, just like him. even so, the match becomes quite even as you're familiar with his style. you parry many blows, mirroring others. the crowd is pleased and excited by the potential outcomes.
• you land a good kick to johnny's face, sending him spiraling in the air and landing on his back with a deep thud. the color in his face returns (due to the bruising) as he stares up at you, licking his lips before flourishing his way back up.
• but then, he lets out a strained cry.
• johnny clutches his chest, clawing at the layers of fabric across his body as if they're an anvil sitting atop his torso. his face twists as he doubled over in complete agony.
• "by the elder gods!" liu kang shouts, standing from his spectator chair. others let out their own concerns and shouts, but you're the first one rocketing to his side. you get to his level to inspect his face. you make a desperate attempt to push his damp hair from his face, but his neck snaps the other way as his body tries to expel this sudden onslaught of pain.
• as the fear that a heart attack is imminent, a sudden glow of green burns bright even past johnny's robes. it spills out like an angry cloud, seeping through johnny's fingers as he cries out in the worst pain he'd ever experienced. it is here that liu kang tenses up, then relaxes. he steps to the side, and does nothing but watch blankly. you come closer and part his clothing, giving yourself access to his bare chest to inspect the source.
• shockingly, the problem is... internal. his veins are glowing a bright green shade and when his eyes aren't deeply clenched, you sense a faint trace of emerald in his irises. right where his heart is, is a rhythmic flashing pattern.
• "make it stop!" johnny begs helplessly, and you reply on the verge of tears that you don't know how to help. however, almost as if on cue, he takes a deep breath inward and sits upright, eyes wide and jaw slack. and, just like that, everything seems normal again.
• you run your hand frantically across his bare skin, trying to feel for abnormalities as he catches his breath. you're crying now from the fear, and you catch a glimpse at his watery eyes.
• "are you okay?!" kung lao asks, putting a hand on his back to help him stabilize. "what was that?!"
• "i don't know..." johnny breathlessly replies, reaching a hand up to fix his hair nervously. however, as his hand traveled upward, he noticed the same emerald aura clouding around his hands, and he shouts out and scurries as if he's trying to run away from his own arm. as it's outstretched, it shoots a ball of energy outward, frying a mannequin that sat innocently off to the side. the crowd's eyes go from the mannequin and back to the celebrity. your fists ball up on his back, fistfuls of fabric keeping you upright otherwise you'd fall back from shock.
• "that is not how i anticipated that happening this time," liu kang muttered, coming closer to inspect johnny's palms. johnny stares at his hands like they grew overnight. his eyes shoot to the fire god, incredulous.
• "what the hell do you mean, 'this time?!'"

How about, a child reader who has a dangerous ability that they don’t really have a good grasp at? For characters I’m thinking Jeff, Tim and Helen? (I think that made sense? Thank you if so.) -🧶
I wasn't sure if you wanted the reader to actually be their child or not, so I just sort of went the platonic older brother figure route.
Jeff:
Feels like he is REALLY not qualified for this, but he does his best to look out for you and make sure that you're not hurting yourself or others and getting into danger. Jeff is better at teaching you how to calm down and control yourself, rather than actually teaching you how to control and use your powers. Jeff tends to get worked up and have anxiety and anger issues sometimes, so he works with you to make sure you're able to keep yourself calm, so you don't get too anxious or angry and accidentally lash out at someone with your powers. He does worry about you a lot, especially with you being so young, so he tries to spend a lot of time with you, making sure that you're feeling cared for and that you're doing alright. Jeff is a pretty good big brother, and so he makes sure to take good care of you, although, if you do end up using your powers for reasons you shouldn't be, especially if it's done intentionally, he is going to lecture you about it, because if your safety or someone else's is at risk that is a situation he doesn't want you to be in, and so he makes sure you get it into your mind that dangerous abilities are not to be used randomly, and that you should only use them for your own safety in a dangerous situation.
Tim:
Probably the most well equipped to be caring for someone in a situation like this. I think that Tim would actually try his best to be there to help you and comfort you with learning how to control your abilities. I can see him asking Slender if he can join in on a few of your training sessions so he can see how Slender is teaching you, and so that he can help teach you himself too, and that way if you're ever struggling or something goes wrong he knows what he can do to help calm you down and make sure that you're safe and okay. Tim makes sure you know that you can always go to him for questions if you have any, and that if he doesn't know the answer he can take you to Slender as well. He's a really good older brother/father figure, and he takes care of you as if you're one of his own. Tim makes sure to check in with you mentally too, as he's heard from the others that it can be harder to control their powers when they're stressed out and anxious, so Tim likes to sit down and check in that you're doing okay, that you're still a happy kid having a good time, and that nothing is bothering you, and if something is bothering you he'll help you in any way that he can. He just wants you to be safe and sound, and so he'll do his best to keep you that way.
Helen:
Helen did not ask to be in this situation, but he's here now, so he guesses he just has to deal with it. Helen never asked to be an older brother figure to you, but when you look to him for help and comfort with that squishy little face of yours he doesn't have the energy to say no. Helen isn't the best at helping people learn how to control their abilities, but he does ask Puppeteer for help every now and then (since Pup had to learn how to use his own powers), and he'll sit outside with you and watch as you practice and try and get more comfortable using your powers. If you ever get hurt he'll ask that you stop for the day, and he'll bandage you up and make sure to remind you not to overdo it because he doesn't like seeing you get hurt or stressed out. It becomes pretty routine for him to sit outside and draw while you train, whether you're training by yourself or with someone like Slender or Pup, and both of them tend to report to Helen that you seem to be doing better when he's sitting out there with you, so he does his best to be there for you. If anyone asks him his opinion of you, he's quick to call you a troublesome little pipsqueak, but everyone can tell from his actions that he does truly care for and worry about you, and he just wants the best for you since life like this isn't an easy one.

how. in the hell. did i NEVER think of this or see this written before??!! jing yuan enjoyers, come get your food, my friend wants to feed us with his delusions
okay so, jy can wield electricity, right? (do you see where we're going with this?) you cannot tell me that this man wouldn't use it/a small little bolt wouldn’t just randomly appear when he’s flustered !
(messy nest’s friend: i wanted to try top jy, but the two of you have ruined me, so im doing omega, sorry not sorry 😭🙏) just imagining jing yuan getting eaten out and all of a sudden, you can hear little crackles of lightning zapping above his head bc he’s overwhelmed in a good way and needs to get his energy out in a nonverbal way or bc he can’t move (it’d be funny if he made the power in the house go out and was laying there so embarrassed)
— messy nest (i may have found my inspo to start my hsr a/b/o acc) and friend
We've done our job messy nest anon we've corrupted your friend >:D
Also yay for inspiration! I hope you enjoy writing messy nest anon you and your friend have such great ideas!
cw: omegaverse, nsfw
The first time Omega Jing Yuan shocks his mate it's completely on accident. They were getting really into it, eating Jing Yuan out for the first time since becoming mates and while he wasn't in heat yet he might as well had been with how wet he was. When they make him come just from their tongue is when they get shocked.
It's like a static shock and while Jing Yuan is flustered they didn't think much of it thinking that they must have gotten shocked by the bedding of his nest. But when they try eating him out again while in the bath and they get shocked again they connect the dots. After that discovery they make it their goal to just make Jing Yuan cum until he shocks them or something because how cute is it that he can lose some control over himself like this?
They did everything in their power to make him lose control like that. Toys, oral, you name it they tried it and Jing Yuan loved being spoiled to bits.
Although one time they make him cum so hard the power in their house and a few houses down went out. It may have been one of the best orgasms of his life but it wasn't fun trying to explain that power outage anomaly.

Adrien is Marinette's Therapist, NOT her Boyfriend and it's Gross
Mental health struggles are no joke and, if you have those struggles, then you absolutely need a partner who will support you through them. That's why, at face value, Adrien supporting Marinette with her PTSD and anxiety is very sweet. It's what a good boyfriend should do. The problem is that Adrien is being written like her therapist, not her boyfriend.
Adrien has his own struggles with depression, loss, and paternal neglect. Yet none of these struggles are brought up once Adrien and Marinette get together. Instead, the relationship is all about her needs and struggles even though this season ends with Gabriel's take down, meaning that focusing on Adrien's issues would have made more sense from a narrative perspective. How much more powerful would the final have been if Marinette really understood Adrien, Emilie, and Gabriel's relationship?
But why do that when we can make everything about Adrienette instead? Why bother to mention Emilie when Marinette is a much better point of conflict between Adrien and Gabriel? After all, if we did that, then Adrien would have a life outside of Marinette and that would be, well, sigh, let's get into it, shall we?
In Derision, we learn that Marinette apparently doesn't have some form of anxiety or ADHD or any of the other things that people have theorized over the years. No, vanilla-Marinette is a totally relaxed, go-with-the-flow non-planner who only started planning after Chloe, Sabrina, and Kim gave her PTSD. Does this insult her character and make no sense? Yes, but let's not get into that. Let's just accept the retcon and look at the fallout of Adrien knowing that his new girlfriend has massive trauma that's mainly focused on romance and controlling situations.
The very next episode is Intuition. In it we see Marinette calling Adrien to show off her ability to do things without planning (or, at least, with less planning) and it's clear from context that this is an exercise that they're doing:
Adrien: Well... (his phone rings) Fancy that! Marinette! I like spending time with Marinette. (picks up his phone) Marinette: (on-call) Guess what I'm calling for: nothing! Can you believe it? I'm calling you randomly, totally out of the blue, for no reason at all! Adrien: So you didn't write down everything you might need to say to me based on everything I might say to you? Marinette: Not at all! Well... I did. I really tried not to, you know, but it was too hard! Anyhow, I limited myself to fourteen possible conversations, including this one! Adrien: Congratulations! Marinette: (on-call) Thank you! Adrien: And did you prepare questions for science class? Marinette: (on-call) Not-a-one! Not even for the live video conference we're doing with Max's mom on the super awesome Tsurugi space jet! I, Marinette, will improvise questions, unpredictably, without planning anything!
In the context of the show, this conversation is deeply concerning and I don't know wtf the writers think they're doing. There is no way in hell that a 14-year-old should be guiding his girlfriend through a therapy session or therapy exercise unless he has the guidance and approval of a trained mental health professional.
Seriously look at what Adrien is doing in this dialogue: Marinette tells him that she's called him without planning and he doesn't just say "that's great!" Instead, he asks if that's true, congratulates her for her mild improvement, and then prompts her to talk about another situation where she would plan things out. In other words, he's asking about the therapy homework that he's clearly given her or that they've decided on together. It's also clear that this isn't their first discussion on the topic because he's very comfortable knowing what to ask about to see if she's done her homework right.
Why was this homework chosen? Who knows! It certainly wasn't picked by someone with training! A therapist wouldn't tell you to avoid planning for a school assignment (something that we've never seen Marinette overplan before, but once again, we're ignoring the retcon). This scene would arguably be inappropriate for an established adult relationship, but a nascent teenage one? Absolutely not.
My SO and I have both done therapy and seen wildly unbalanced relationships. This conversation threw massive red flags for us on both fronts. This is not what a healthy relationship looks like. This is not a give and take. This is why you need a therapist to at least guide you through this type of situation or you will set yourself up in roles where person A is not getting their needs met because the relationship has an established dynamic where person A is the giver and person B is the taker.
This is especially true for a young relationship that's just getting its feet off of the ground. They're supposed to be in the honeymoon phase! More established relationships are better able to handle phases where one person needs more support than the other which absolutely happens and is totally normal. However, when those things happen, it's vital for the supporting partner to have their own support since they can't get it from their partner.
Miraculous denies Adrien this suport. In the very next episode, we get this:
Adrien: I've always seen Marinette acting funny in my presence. I thought that was just the way she was. I thought it was sweet. I thought it was just her charm. But now that I know it's because she loves me and she freaks out about telling me, I feel bad. Because it means that this whole time she's been uncomfortable around me, and I haven't done anything to help her. Kagami: But you didn't know. Adrien: It doesn't take away from her suffering. I just wish she could feel more at ease when she's with me. Otherwise, one day, it'll be too late and she'll give up. Kagami: What can I do to help, Adrien? Adrien: Thanks, but it's not up to you or anyone else to help. I'm the one who's gotta do something.
No! Adrien, you are not equipped to deal with this solo. Ask Kagami to help! Ask Alya to help! Ask Marinette's parents to help! There are times when it's okay to involve others in your relationship and this is one of those times! This isn't even a relationship issue! It's a mental health issue! I know we're flipping gender roles here, but it's not somehow cute or healthy just because a guy is trying to "fix" the girl for once. No one should try to take on that task. This is what therapy is for.
If therapy is not an option for financial or other reasons, then yes, sometimes you have to struggle through and loved ones can help, but in TV land? Especially aimed-at-kids TV land? Show the ideal scenario! At the very least, show a support network! And I mean actual support, not Kagami asking to help and Adrien shooting her down! Writers, you are making Gabriel's dislike of Marinette valid! You are making it so that she is dragging Adrien down! Stop doing that!
Adrien deserves love and support, too. Adrien deserves to be romanced. Adrien deserves more than a kiss and an "I love you" that he had to fight to hear! He never even gets one of the presents from Marinette's chest. She did more to woo him before they got together and it's such pathetic writing.
The fun of getting these two together is letting them do all the stuff they've always wanted to do! Let Marinette bring him macrons! Let him bring her roses! Let her enhance his wardrobe! Let him write her poems! Let them be a healthy, balanced, sickeningly-cute couple! It's fine if she's nervous at the start and takes a while to act normal, but this show takes it to a level beyond teenage jitters and it's not funny or cute. It's concerning.
All of these issues start with Derision's romance-based-PTSD retcon and it was the worst thing they could have done for the Love Square. It poisons the rest of the season and is why I just can't ship these two in canon even though I love what they could have been. They have established such a horrifically unhealthy dynamic that I can't see this ending well unless they get couple's therapy in the very near future and that's not even touching on the baggage that will come from the lies and still unresolved Ladynoir trauma.
As soon as Marinette has romance-based PTSD, she was incapable of being in a relationship until after she'd learned to manage her PTSD. (PTSD cannot be cured, btw, you just learn how to manage it and the symptoms can lessen.) The writers apparently knew that. It's why they gave her a therapist to support her as she worked through her issues and got to the point where she can say "I love you". His name is Adrien. Isn't he cute?

Another swap au whoooo. This one is partially inspired by @phenphoenix swap au (go check it out its amazing) mostly because he nailed almost exactly what I wanted this swap au husk and niffty to be like and I like the names he came up with.
Tumblr media
(Huskers wings are the same same goes for his tail I just.. really didn't want to draw them) Anyhow in this universe niffty was the overlord i have no idea of what i tried coming up with something but couldn’t so if you have any ideas tell me please its driving me insane unfortunately for her she is still nifty and she let her obsessive tendencies get the best of her leading to her making some horrible calls that resulted in her being backed into a corner and making a deal with angel to preserve her power. Husk on the other hand still got backed into a corner due to his gambling habit but in this au he wasn't an overlord and the reason he made a deal with angel was because he owed money to his mafia due to it. He actually feels like his life has improve massively since making that deal and as such does not regret it at all Their personalities are mostly the same, just nifty being depressed and husker not being. I imagine niffty in this au is being very obsessive and in need of controlling everything in regards to that obsession while husker is much more caring and compassionate. Plus I love the idea of Husker having more feline tendencies such as him randomly dropping everything and chasing a mouse as this aus version of nifty roach obsession.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
But their relationships with certain characters are very different, husker and angel are pretty close. He is grateful to Angel since as I stated before he is treated pretty well by him but while they are kind of friends their relationship never developed further due to the distance that one party straight up owning the other's soul put between them. For huskerdust to happen in this au angel would have to voluntarily give up husks soul which i dont think would happen in the near future. Niffty on the other hand is a bit resentful but mostly indifferent about angel a “could have been worse” attitude what i wanna talk about is her relationship with Alastor. She quickly becomes a good friend of his and while she is annoyed at him never fully acting like himself always wearing that smile (which she recognizes as a desperate bid for controle) their friendship doesn't have as rocky of a start as husk and angel dust in canon. But she still eventually has enough and calls out his bs in a similar manner to huskies “everyone loves to bitch to the bartender” spiel. In her case though the reason she knows so much is that people straight up forget she is there. Mostly because I think it's a lot more fitting for her plus I think it's funny. I am probably gonna draw the whole scene of her psychoanalyzing everyone once i decide who the fuck im swapping Sir pentious with becouse atm i have no idea.

Warmth and Lies | Gepard Landau
Tags: mutual pining, accidental confession WC: 1.2k AN: Thanks to @yarnnerdally for the request! I rolled randomly for the characters and it landed on Gepard! Summary: You deliver lunch to your crush and get hurt on the way causing him to confess his feelings unexpectedly.
Tumblr media
It wasn't supposed to happen this way. You knew it the moment the words fell from his lips.
Throughout your years of knowing the strong, stalwart Captain, you had come to care for him, that was no doubt. But his feelings toward you, as far as you were concerned, stayed platonic, if not familial. It's fine, really. As long as you got to be a part of his life, that's what mattered more than anything to you.
Over time it had become your habit to bring him lunches and dinners during the week, a welcome warmth against the bitter cold and ruthless battle. He'd come to anticipate this little ritual, and he'd always greet you as far away from the front lines as possible in order to keep you safe. Your guardian, your protector. He took this aspect of his job very seriously.
Only, today he was late; a strategy meeting run too long. And although your path of travel was generally secure and free of fragmentum monsters, today was the unfortunate exception. A culmination of bad luck manifested in precisely the right way, at the right time, to lead to... this.
Your injuries weren't bad, so really he wasn't sure why he fussed quite so much about them. (That is the first lie.) You were fine, it really was just a scratch as you had insisted, so he had no reason to be so angry. (This is the second lie.)
The thought of you being grievously injured just to bring him lunch made him sick. Nausea swirled in his belly. He wouldn't have it. He wouldn't let you do this anymore, wouldn't let you put yourself in danger just to bring him a hot meal. It was that fear that drove you to this argument.
"I will not suffer anymore of this," Gepard said, his voice laced with restrained anger. "This has to stop now. It - it should have never begun in the first place."
His hands were fisted at his side, shaking, his grip on control loosening the tighter they coiled. His jaw was tight, the muscle popping in a way that belied just how angry he really was. How could he have been so foolish?
And truly, it wasn't fair. He'd saved you, regardless, and the scratch was from his gauntlet, not from the monster. How dare he take this tone of anger with you as if you were some frail, helpless child that needed protecting. How dare he-
"You're not being fair," your retaliation was calm, cool, and it made him grimace. You almost died, how could you remain so collected?? It baffled him.
You're right, he isn't being fair, and he knows it, and he can't figure out why it makes him so damn mad. (This is the third lie.)
"I've been bringing you food like this for years and you're going to lose your temper the first time I happen upon one of them? You do know I can take care of myself, right?"
He does know. He has known for as long as he's known you. But you shouldn't have to, he should be there to protect you-- to save you -- to be your knight. Your guard. Your--
"I'll take your silence as an agreement," you huffed, shoving the prepared box of food into his hands. "You can't stop me."
He should stop you. He should do anything within his power to stop you. He doesn't know what he'd do if he lost you. Don't you understand that? Don't you understand, "I love you."
That did stop you, mid-stride, after turning your back to him and marching toward the city. Turning back to look over your shoulder at Gepard, you really saw him for the first time today.
His head was hung low, dark circles framed his eyes, his blond hair far messier than usual. He was exhausted, he'd been on the front lines for days without rest. And he loved you.
"What?" It was all you could manage to say, turning to face him fully. Your voice was soft, emotion swelling in your throat and choking you.
"I-" he hadn't meant to say it. Hadn't acknowledged that it was true until the words spilled from his lips and poured into the air between you. He'd never admitted it to himself in all this time of knowing you. Years spent longing, yearning for you. How could he have when you were so far out of his league? So far out of his reach?
Gepard gulped, his mouth dry, his tongue too heavy to continue. It wasn't meant to happen like this. It wasn't mean to happen at all. But he'd said it, and he loved you, and it was the total, brutal truth.
By everything he knew to be holy, he loved you. He'd do anything for you, he realized, even if it meant driving you away to keep you safe. He'd do it, and he might regret it, but he'd do it anyway. If you turned your back now, rejected him, at least that meant you wouldn't endanger yourself just for... for... He looked down at the meal you'd prepared, just briefly. His favorite, of course, and it was still warm. You must've rushed here to give it to him.
He loved you, and the realization felt like the warmth of a hearthfire ignited in his chest and bloomed outward, thawing him from the inside. It chased away the bitterness from a moment ago, the anger, and filled him instead with a soft, gentle hopefulness that he'd long since suppressed. That he'd long since tried to ignore and push away.
And then, as soon as it came, it extinguished like a candle at midnight. How could someone like you ever see him in the same way? Someone so radiant and perfect and divine? Gepard pursed his lips, took a step away from you. It didn't matter, anyway. He was sure of your rejection and he wanted to get away from you as soon as possible to nurse the hurt that cut his heart to ribbons.
"Nothing," he dismissed.
"Say it again."
He started, blinked at you owlishly for a moment. Why would you want to hear it again? To laugh at him? Mock him?
"I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't say anything," another lie.
"Yes you do," you insisted, "please."
He inhaled slowly, shaking now for a different reason. Blue eyes watched you for a long moment, and you both knew that, if things were different, this moment should have been different. It should have been intimate and sweet and pregnant with love and adoration. Not this cold, bitter anger and hurt.
"I love you," he said on a sigh, and his eyes fell to the ice at his feet. How could he face your rejection head on? It hurt too badly for a love he'd only just now realized, and hadn't even had the chance to thoroughly explore. Hadn't had the chance to truly feel it's warmth before it was raked across the coals and doused in the cold of permanent winter.
Gepard's thoughts swirled like a blizzard in his mind, churning up ice and snow and burning, aching. He didn't notice you step toward him. He didn't notice you closing the distance until he felt the warmth of your palm against his cheek.
His eyes were ocean blue as he looked up at you, cerulean and clear and beautiful; and so full of everything.
It wasn't supposed to happen like this, but when your lips pressed against his, and every doubt vanished in the blink of an eye, he was glad it did.

The Archduke's Gorgeous Wedding Was a Fraud - By 은려원 (8/10)
Tumblr media
A gradual slow burn yandere and a slavishly devoted stalker are bitter enemies in this story. Their rivalry grows deeper when they fall for the same woman. This is an otome isekai. It would have been a solid 9 if it wasn't, but it is still above average.
She is a painter with magic. Her paintings can take shape and come to life. That's a cool power, but having a special ability can suck. She shows up as a slave in the beginning, because assholes love to collect rare things.
In the original story "Shay" was a dumb stalker who was only interested in drooling over Archduke Lucien. He goes yandere for Shay later....after her body is randomly possessed by a Modern Korean Woman with No Flaws.
(Sigh)
The otome isekai part is needlessly complicated and annoying, but yeah.
It's there.
Tumblr media
In the beginning we think Shay was a total loser with no friends who died unloved. Now, in her second new life she is a slave who gets bought by Lucien.
Lucien needs a beautiful, magic wife.
He doesn't want to get married, so he buys Shay to use her as a shield. It's actually a really cruel plan. He's tired of dealing with suitors. He knows Shay will get attacked but that's not his problem.
Tumblr media
Poor Shay.
She spends a whole chapter gushing about her new pretty face.
She acts sassy and then it all becomes clear.
Lucien isn't mean.
It was love at first sight and he doesn’t know.
He dropped big money to make sure nobody would buy her.
He thought her anger and pain on stage was beautiful. He talks about using her but yeah...no...
Tumblr media
Lucien proposes when he figures out that Shay is not affected by his latent magic. He has the blood of the Sun God. It makes him sexually irresistible. Women are creepy around him. Predatory. They steal his hair and they constantly try to break into his home etc.
He's strong.
That's the only reason why he isn't a concubine in a harem somewhere...
Tumblr media
Shay says yes.
Her name is changed to Titania permanently....
...
...
Seriously why is this an otome isekai?
She agrees to marry him and protect him with her magic.
They become a good team.
Lucien really likes having normal conversation with somebody who isn't trying to take his pants off.
Tumblr media
There's a horny princess who wears suits.
Kind of yandere...but not she only cares about collecting and controlling beautiful people...actually she's kinda boring moving on.
Tumblr media
The other yandere is Kun. He knew Shay. He loved her BEFORE Shay became Titania. (Hence his yandere behavior feels less...legit)
This sucks.
Imagine with me here.
Story opens.
.
Shay is an idiot stalker who gets sold off as a slave because everybody hates her. Lucien comes to save her because he knows she isn't affected by his magic. She's just regular crazy obsessed. He tells her to please chill in exchange for cash and she agrees because she's been reduced to a slave. She needs money/the fake marriage to live another day. Shay cruelly leaves Kun behind because she is finally with the man she likes, and he pines over her. He did bad stuff and crimes for her, and she is all he has in this life. Blah blah blah Shay learns to like Lucien as a person, not an object, when they get closer. She realizes that letting Kun fawn over her is bad for his mental health. She apologizes and helps him get a hobby maybe and plot twist Lucien is also a yandere. He's worse than Kun ever was, but he hides it for the sake of her smile. Real marriage. End. Everybody in the trio becomes a better, more well-adjusted human being.
But nope otome isekai I guess.
Tumblr media
Kun's intro is good.
He bested Lucien in combat before.
Both men see each other as a real threat. Lucien can't just snort and kick him out.
Titania has no clue who he is...but Kun says nothing but yandere shit about his love for Shay.
Something happened to make him so obsessed, but the author probably won't explain because...say it with me...
Otome isekai...
Tumblr media
Lucien gradually becomes more jealous.
His thoughts get more unhinged too, and it's fun.
He's a doting yandere, and he doesn’t know it yet. He designs a fine painting room for Titania. He hates it when mere servants gawk at her beauty, and the sight of Kun makes him go quiet with rage.
He's good.
Tumblr media
I really, really like the contrast. These two yanderes are not the same. They have their own charm points. Too bad about the otome isekai plot holes though.

Hi! How are you? Can I have a question regarding the BSD x SAGAY work? What exactly are the portals that connect the Real World and Teyvat? Do they appear randomly, or there is a force that controls them? Sorry for any grammar mistakes, and have a good day! I really enjoy your works!
Hello! I am pretty good, thank you. I am glad, that you liked my works ;)
Portals are pretty simple.
There are two portals (maybe, for now).
One portal - in Teyvat. Located in a cove on a small island in the sea.
The island wasn't far away from Port Ormos.
Second portal - in Real World. Located in an empty barn, that came with a house and a land that Fitzgerald has bought.
The location of a first portal isn't random.
Reader, during their execution, wanted to be safe. Powers of Creator, that Reader had, were enough to create three portals.
One - under Reader's feet, that closed immediately.
Second - on a small island, where Reader were hiding on their way from Mondstadt to Snezhnaya, the last place Reader felt safe in Teyvat.
Third - in a barn in real world.
Second and third portals were 'sleeping', and would stay that way, only to Capitano learning about the portal and using it, to get into the real world.
So, now, BSD Cast and Reader have a secret portal in the barn and a secret base on an island in Teyvat.
For now, more portals can't be created. Fake Creator didn't like to waste their powers, Reader's powers are limited and can grow only in Teyvat.

Luo Binghe vs. Miguel O'Hara
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Propaganda under the cut:
Lou Binghe:
First of all, Luo Binghe is the protagonist - not of SVSSS, but of the in-world book the MC ends up in (transmigration/isekai situation). He has actual, literal plot armor preventing him from dying, even if something convoluted or unlikely has to happen to save him (MC takes advantage of it once to defeat the enemy - by baiting them into attacking immobilized Luo Binghe. A ceiling beam randomly falls on them 😂). But even discounting the plot armor, he's stupid difficult to kill due to his unique bloodline - being descended from a god who fell to depravity and turned into a demon - which gives him extremely powerful self-healing abilities, to the point that he can just pop broken bones back in place and be fine (has actually happened on page) or regrow lost limbs (mentioned, but not shown). And that's not even the only benefit of his blood - for you see, if he manages to get it into someone else's body, he can use it as a torture device or a GPS tracker. Speaking of sneak attack abilities, he also can walk into people's dreams to see their memories, give them nightmares, and make them destroy their own minds. And this is before we come to actual damage dealing! Luo Binghe comes from a cultivation setting, meaning people cultivate internal energy to learn fantasy kung fu, with various magic-like abilities. Luo Binghe is a prodigy who excels at both hand-to-hand combat and swordsmanship, as well as 'lightness skill' which allows him to move faster than eye can see, scale buildings in a single leap, and so on. This is additionally enhanced by the use of spiritual AND demonic energy - as a half-human, half-demon, he has access to both types - which you can think of as raw magic that can be shaped in variety of ways. For example, at one point Luo Binghe uses spiritual energy to create a fireball to fling at an enemy. It can also be used to do direct damage, such as spiritual blast - which MC describes as having an effect of 'throwing a grenade' for his own power level, meaning Luo Binghe's is even more devastating. To return to swordsmanship, at different points of the story, Luo Binghe wields two different swords. One is Zheng Yang, a spiritual sword that he can not only swing by hand, but control with gestures to send into battle independently, as well as fly on if needed. The other is Xin Mo, a cursed mythical sword he found in a hellpit called the Endless Abyss - which tries to corrupt the owner's mind but is extremely powerful, and has a unique ability to create spatial rifts, meaning its owner can essentially teleport wherever. (Including between universes, as per extras.) Oh, and if all this wasn't enough, he also has a demon army, with which he already conquered most of the Demon Realm. But the scariest thing? /If/ you manage to get him alone, without any demon subordinates backing him, and /if/ you manage to injure him enough to incapacitate him... congrats, you just pissed off his husband! Who is less powerful, but extremely resourceful and frankly insane(/respect). Luo Binghe would just beat you into submission! His husband on the other hand will trick you into inhaling parasitic plant's spores that'll take root in your trachea and grow through your brain, slowly and painfully killing you. (Yes, this happened to one of the antagonists.) Frankly speaking, getting beat by Luo Binghe is recommended. You can probably even get a spot in the demon army if you pick a right moment to concede (that's how he got most of his subordinates).
Miguel O'Hara:
First of all, he's the strongest Spidey (both physically and in terms of enhanced senses). Second, he's a giant. And third, I love him and need him to win
Reasons as to why one or the other would win are encouraged in the notes. Send in additional propaganda and I'll add it to the post!

Hi Bry, a few months ago I left Christianity, not only because it didn't make me happy but also because I realized how toxic it was. About two weeks ago I learned about non dualism and it has really been freeing. The problem is, I still live with my extremely strict religious parents. They are constantly pushing the fear of hell on me and it's starting to actually get to me. I have been a Christen pretty much my whole life up until a few months ago and now I'm scared I may be wrong in following the path of non dualism. What if somehow there a god and I'm going to suffer forever In hell for believing in him? I love the concept of non dualism, I really do, but how can I be sure that a god isn't out there? Apparently, in non dualism terms I'm actually god which confused me at first because I always believed in higher power since I was little. How did you know you were god and that non dualism is the truth? I've always kinda relied on facts and science, which is another reason why I left Christianity because the stuff they teached didn't make sense within science and stuff. I know this was long but i really wanna know how to shake this fear of hell and know for sure non dualism is the truth😪
(to give a lil context)
It was easier for Bry to accept that she was God bc she had already been out of the Church for 8 years, and she had some successes with law of assumption that proved that she had some form of control over things that happened to her.
When she started out in her non dualism journey, she did a guided meditation everyday and she would get these "images" or "revelations" (for the lack of better terms) where she would literally see that the body and world wasn't real. I would literally feel oneness with everything and everyone.
I stopped meditating so much bc I realized that I was trying to have some crazy "enlightenment" experience from ego, but the bursts of peace, feelings of oneness and sometimes laughing fits just hit me randomly throughout the day now because like wow I really made all this up 🤭
There's nothing to be afraid of. If you go within you'll see that God and the worshipper are one. There's no Sin, there's no judgement, there's just unconditional love for everyone and everything. God sees no good vs evil so there's no being "sent to hell" for wrongdoings. There's no past to even keep track of "previous sins", God is always here, in the present. Waiting for you to accept who you really are. Waiting for you to realize you've just been praying to yourself, and if prayers haven't been answered, it's because you've given your power to an outside source that doesn't really exist.
The source has always been you. Dare to trust yourself and I promise the peace you'll feel will be like no other. Everything is going to work out.

I want someone to write a bleach AU where Ichigo meets Rukia in his early twenties when he's a stressed out college student trying to figure out what he want to do with his life after trying to go down a medical route and not liking it but not knowing what else to do (I'm projecting so hard but we're ignoring that)
The chaotic potential of Ichigo going through his classes and having to run out randomly to deal with a hollow, of rukia attending his classes with him without formally being a student, of the chaos Kon would create
Give me architecture student Orihime that he occasionnaly talks to because of mutual friends like Tatsuki. Give me fashion design student Ishida that Ichigo doesn't recognize because he never bothered to know his classmates beyond a few here and there and Ishida definitely wasn't one of them.
Give me vet student Chad that has like three cats in his and Ichigo's shared dorm that are definitely not supposed to be there but Ichigo loves them. Rukia absolutely loves them as well.
unhinged ichigo fighting hollows the same way he used to fight those gang members in high school because he wants the adrenaline rush. He would probably get on with Shiro a little better too XD.
Ichigo, who started seeing hollows when he was like sixteen after being attacked by them. Ichigo, who has a weird little power that he doesn't quite know how to use that looks like this weird fullbring thing except without the pass so it's more of like a quincy arrow just not the usual blue colour. It's not really powerful enought to fully take out a hollow cause he doesn't know how to control it but it protects him long enough to get away
Tumblr media
It's an interesting idea, to have him see hollows but not be strong enough to fight them the way he usually does for a long time until Rukia comes along. His attitude towards the whole thing would be a little different as well.
Also having spiritually aware Inoue, Chad, and Tatsuki but the former two don't have their powers because they haven't been fully exposed to Ichigo's leaking reiatsu when he gets his soul reaper powers.
Having Tatsuki be closer to Ichigo because of this is a nice touch too, cause now the two of them can both see spirits and Ichigo doesn't quite feel as lonely as he used. The two of them having a rekindled friendship makes me happy for some reason and idk, her just teasing Inoue for having a crush on him and like, plotting to get them together with some help from Rukia when she arrives because she likes to tease Ichigo about Orihime all the time
Oh, and her having a water style fullbring that she incorporates into her martial arts and creates something like Fishman Karate from One piece would be super cool too. She just gives me water vibes for some reason
Also, Ichigo not being teen makes him far less susceptible to manipulation from the adults in his life, more mature, and probably less forgiving— that last part is because I want Ichigo to punch Urahara for what he did to Rukia in the SS arc because I sort of hate that he was forgiven so easily like Rukia didn’t even seem to care???
That makes me so angry for some reason. Like I like Urahara’s character but it doesn’t take away from the fact that he’s a shady shit. I feel like older Ichigo would be less tolerant of his antics than teen Ichigo
Idk, it just seems like such a funny idea to me-- chaotic substitute soul reaper Ichigo + College stress and the existential crisis of trying to figure out what the fuck you wanna do with your life = hilarity
(I'm projecting so hard, someone help me, my coping mechanism for stress is escapism and I've missed like three deadlines and there's like two weeks before school starts and I haven't even gotten around to making my schedule yet, I'm dying pls)

@joyflameball (for some reason after I saved your ask as a draft I wasn't able to edit it, so I had to screenshot it instead)
Anyway, here are the answers:
Wortox doesn't exactly align with the shadow gang, he's pretty neutral and free-spirited to be honest. He's been slightly coerced and is indebted to them, but overall doesn't want to get too involved with them unless he has to. Wormwood...Is a little quirky like that. And he may or may not be a tad perfidious.
If you mean psyche wise, some took it well, some didn't, but had to adapt. Warly deliberately sought out to corrupt himself, in order to heal his dying mother. He's not opposed to the idea of being slightly corrupted. Wigfrid got corrupted by accident and decided to become a vigilante hero with said power, so she also took it well. For Wickerbottom it came natural, she was one of the first to accept and cherish her abilities for various reasons, some regarding her past. Honestly most aren't opposed to the abilities themselves, just the negative side effects that come with them. But if you mean power-wise, I made this post, explaining somewhat everyone's powers atm.
Wilson was always a bit weird, but his family blamed it on skin condition, ailments etc. So he had no way of knowing and no way to prepare for dealing with his developing powers. After they started augmenting, his denial basically activated with every excuse in the world, and when he had no way of logically justifying it, he tried to hide them, obviously ashamed and fearful of being hunted down and shunned.
As far as everyone is concerned, there is no nightmare throne. There can't be just one person who can randomly take control over the world at any point. Instead, They managed to get sucked in with a couple of corrupted rifts of each alignment. | On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being 'light powers that help boosting basic chores' to 10 being godly and world ending, Charlie and Max fall somewhere around 5.5-6/10, so pretty powerful, but nowhere near eldritch level entities.
Good. That was the intent behind their designs, alongside Wormwood. I'm glad it worked.
I'll give you a few crumbs of lore.
There is no portal into the constant since constant is already out there in the world.
Instead, their deal is Woodrow doing some supernatural research for him.
But since there is no portal, when they go rogue, Wagstaff has no other way to get rid of them but to terminate them. Due to his guilt, he hesitates and they manage to break free and escape.

Helping you.

Summary: In which you show up unannounced stumbling into the lair when the turtles thought you were an intruder.
Who: Donnie x afab!reader
Hey guys, I got this inspired idea from a Twitter post I ran across, sadly cannot find it again though.
I was thinking of doing the same idea with the other turtles? If you would want that please comment and I'll do it. :)

the boys were spending their Saturday night the way that they always did.
pizza, games, more pizza, and more games.
except donnie was the only one being a party pooper, worried about his girlfriend.
it wasn't that sometimes you were busy and couldn't answer for awhile, no, it was that before you randomly stopped you sent him a series of weird texts. which all just consisted of mumbo jumbo.
ੈ✩‧₊˚*ੈ✩‧₊˚*ੈ✩‧₊˚*ੈ✩
(8:37 pm) - ( my y/n <3 ) - ydjk wheaste uids haoaprnubg donni hqwlp
(8:37 pm) - ( my smart boy ) - what?
he worried.
(8:40 pm) - ( my smart boy ) - y/n are you okay? where are you?
seen.
(8:46 pm) - ( my smart boy ) - y/n, darling what's going on?
(8:53 pm) - ( my y/n <3 ) - shredder
his heart almost stopped beating.
ੈ✩‧₊˚*ੈ✩‧₊˚*ੈ✩‧₊˚*ੈ✩
he frantically jumps over the couch and runs to his room, his computer already on.
he works his magic to track your phone through your information but before it could finish he hears his brother yell for him from the other room.
"DONNIE !" leo yells and he scrambles out of his chair, almost falling face first into the pavement.
"what? what happened?!"
his brothers are lined up ahead of him, weapons drawn. their breathing suggests someone's there, that the motion detector must have went off.
but before donnie could get ready you limp out of the shadow, the giant pipe squeaking as you walked.
his eyes widen, you looked horrible. hand clutching your sides, with brushes and blood dripping from places he has nightmares about.
you look faint, your eyes seemed almost lifeless when donnie ran to you and scooped you from the ground.
his brothers have just a similar reaction, trying to figure out what happened, how to help you, and who to kill.
they looked so scared, not knowing what to do but donnie did.
he sat you to lay down on the counter, ordering leo and mikey to get supplies while raph alerted master splinter.
"wha- what happened y/n- what?" he fumbled over words, you were stripped to your tank top and shorts while he scanned you for injuries.
his mind was racing.
master splinter and raph ran into the room while Mikey and Leo poured the supplies on the counter.
for the first time, for a split second donnie swore he saw worry on master splinters face.
"I have got this under control, I'll call you boys back in when I am done."
with that donnie feels himself being dragged out by his brothers, just realizing he was holding his breath.
he sat for hours it felt, elbows against his knees staring into the walls.
never had he frozen when someone needed his help, he always managed something.
but he didn't, when the person he loved the most he felt needed him.
he feels someone sit next to him on the couch, a hand grip his shoulder.
"she's awake." Leo sighs.
that's all he needed to power his body, he plows through everything in his way until he gets to the door, calming his composure.
the door is silent, small creeks are heard.
"y/n?" he calls, shakier than he liked.
"right here don." you croak.
he steps in and walks to you, you look better than you did but you still look horrible.
your sitting on the counter, back resting against the wall.
he stands in front of you, hesitant to touch you but when you reach for him he embraces you like he won't ever see you again.
"don- donnie... you're crushing me baby-" you wince out.
he pulls away quickly, a worried expression makes you laugh a bit. but horribly, your side churns every time you move a muscle in the region.
"ouch." you grab at your side.
he looks down and frowns, seeing the blood stain but the evident gauze poking from the bottom of your rolled up tank top.
"it's gonna make a sick scar." you pull up your tank top, and although he can't see it he knows by the size of the gauze that it could've been way worse. the bandage starts at your bellybutton and ends somewhere close to your spine.
but he smiles at you despite all that has happened, because no matter what, when you're smiling he is too.
"I'm so sorry n/n that I wasn't there to help you. what happened?" he apologies but you shake your head.
"how would you have known don? it's not your fault my love." you reassure him before trying to explain what happened.
you feel him grab your hand for support, his other resting on the side of your thigh while he stands between your legs.
"shredder... I guess he found out my schedule or something- he sent in a few of his goons. I was walking back home and I knew someone was following me but I could barely even type... before I knew it, shredder slashed me with his blade in the corner of an alley when I did comply with his threat." you explain, your voice shaky. "he was gonna try and kill you don- I couldn't. he was going to kill you all."
you pause when you feel donnie wipe a tear from your cheek, his expression as sweet as ever.
"I couldn't let him... I wouldn't be able to live with myself if he found you guys. he was gonna kill me don. and I was okay with that if it was to protect you guys. but with some miracle I was able to escape, I really don't know how I pulled it off." You finish.
at this point you were both crying. you felt donnie hug you again, seeing his brothers and master splinter behind him looking at you with sad eyes.
they felt like somehow it was their fault, and they felt horrible.
"I will never let anyone hurt you ever again." donnie preaches. "I'll kill anyone who tries."
"yeah dude, we're gonna beat em up!" mikey yells.
you laugh , genuinely while you clutch your side. you hoped you would rip the stitches.
for the rest of your recovery donnie never left your side, like a lost puppy he follows you around because he was serious about never letting you get hurt again.
anyone who looked in your direction got an eyebrow raise and dark eyes.
even if they had no bad intentions, they would definitely scurry away as soon as possible.
