rafe topper and kelce being protective of you at a party !!
"wan' some?" the boy next to you offers you the little mirror with white lines, his eyes big and bloodshot. you don't recognize him, you just took a seat on the nearest surface since your feet hurt from dancing.
"i've never done it. what's it like?" you cock your head, interested in the answer. rafe is particularly strict about coke—you're not allowed anywhere near the stuff. it's a stupid double standard since topper and kelce get high with him all the time, and you're stuck driving their asses home.
you glance around, making sure the boys aren't nearby. you aren't really a troublemaker but you've always been able to hold your own with them. especially rafe, since the two of you rarely agree on anything—where to go for lunch, what music to play in the car, which kind of beer to buy.
coke is the one thing he's stern about, and you don't really like testing him about it either, since he's so much more pleasant when you listen. you like to tease him but he thought you were smart enough not to mess with the only rule he'd given you.
"once you start you won't be able to stop," the boy replies, passing the plate onto your lap. the whole thing feels a little grimy, the way he's touching your legs, how high he looks.
"yeah, i think i'm gonna pass.” you try to slide it back, when he grabs your wrist.
"no, try some."
"no, i'm good-" you try to get up, the mirror clanging to the ground, white powder hitting the floor.
"you bitch-" you turn and try to get away, trying to get your wrist free of his grip, when he holds on tighter.
"what the fuck is this?" you hear the boom of kelce's voice, coming over and pushing the boy aside.
"are you deaf, man? she said no, don't keep fucking asking, you creep-" you hear topper defend you.
oddly enough, you hadn't expected it. the boys are nice, and they're your best friends, but you thought you were almost just another one of the boys, didn't think they'd care enough like this.
"you okay?" kelce asks, while the boy scrambles on the floor. your eyes are wet, you're not sure when you started crying. "rafe, over here."
"no, don't tell him-"
"don't tell me what?" rafe asks, taking in the boy darting away, the broken glass and spilled drugs on the floor. he picks up your red marked wrist. "hey, hey."
you turn to face rafe, tears spilling down your cheeks. you feel even more embarrassed infront of him.
"you okay?" he asks, leaning in close. you nod, trying to speak but it comes out in a wrangled sob. "hey, s'okay, you're fine now." he brings you into a hug, and you cry softly against his chest for a few minutes.
you think you're incredibly thankful for your friends.
rafe thinks he's never letting you out of his eye sight again at a party.
Real fan art is coming one day, but for now I really wanted to see if it was feasible to simplify their gradients into something that would fit a simple style like Bluey’s 😅
Imagine Dynamight going to a school to be interviewed by the little children there, sitting down in one of the chairs in their classroom that is far too small for his hulking form but he sits down in it without complaint as the kids sit down in front of him with crossed legs.
And he loves it, because they have no filter— just like him, and they end up asking him the most blunt questions without hesitation. And some of the questions he’d never usually answer if they were coming from broadcasters or reporters, but he can’t lie to these kids so he keeps responding openly and honestly.
Even when one of the little girls asks “Mister Dynamight, do you have a girlfriend?”
It’s a rumour that’s been circulating for months as the media try to work out who the mysterious woman is in his life (if there even is one!) and it’s confirmed immediately when Bakugou answers with a, “Yeah, I do.”
And as his PR manager is having a meltdown in the corner, Bakugou’s grin is wide when the little boys in the room sound out a simultaneous chorus of “ewwwwwww”
the thing that i love so much about my relationship is that i feel absolutely zero pressure for us to be in eachother's pockets constantly. not just in the way that we like to have our own space sometimes but that i don't feel guilty for getting fixated on a project and not texting him or leaving him on read for a few hours. we have a system where i just say "i'm so sorry, i fell down the Art Hole again" and he says "that's ok, was the art hole fun, can i see what you did in there?". or if i have a feeling i'm going to draw until late at night i'll be like "pre warning, i might be in the art hole this evening" and when i'm done he's texted me goodnight anyway.
tldr: find someone who doesn't get mad at you for crawling into a hole and instead helps you out of the hole and asks what you saw down there
so on the subject of the "Crowley is secretly Revaan/Laverne/Levin/please Twst give us his name" theory, I think my feelings are best summed up as "I don't really buy it, but it's funny". like, in all seriousness, I'm not opposed to it; I have enjoyed the writing in Twst so far and I'm willing to trust that whatever happens will, you know, make sense and not be terrible. but I'm just not really convinced by the current evidence! maybe that'll change once we learn more, we'll see!
with that said, may I propose a few alternate theories about the possible Crowley/Revaan connection:
Danny is hanging out with Dora, and gets caught in a trap by Aragon. He takes the dragon amulet and phases it into Danny’s chest, which turns Danny into a dragon, and then sends him through a natural portal to cause chaos.
Aragon tries to take over the zone while Danny is gone but Dora beats the crap out of him.
Meanwhile Danny is a dragon now, smaller than his human form because he’s still a baby ghost, and his core reflects that. Baby dragon Danny was sent to the DC universe and lands (un)gracefully in an alley in Gotham.
He could be feral like little baby man but he could also just be regular Danny brain power as a ghostly dragon. Who is like three feet long. He does his best to get his bearings, roams around a bit, hides from people, and scrounges for food as he tries to find a way back home. (Might not realize he’s not in his universe)
Danny catches the attention of some not so great people and runs and hides in an alley, digging into the trash or under a dumpster bc he is Smol.
Meanwhile Damian is out on patrol and hears commotion on the streets. He swiftly beats up this gang of guys chasing someone(or something) into an alley. After running them off he hears rustling amongst the trash in the dark alley. He thinks it’s a cat, as it usually is, but is surprised to find an actual, baby, black and white dragon with bright green eyes.
Obviously he plans to take him home, but has to coax Danny out from underneath the dumpster. Maybe he uses some snacks from his cool pouches on his belt. Eventually he wins over Danny, but Damian has to keep him a secret from the batfam.
The secret does not last long. Keeping a dragon in your room is not a good hiding spot. But, he found that Danny likes to cuddle, so obviously the little dragon had to stay with him.
Alfred found out first, promised not to say anything and help feed the dragon. Not sure who finds out next but Danny probably tries to bite Dick when he tries to pick him up a bunch.
Damian plans to train Danny to be his sidekick. If Batman gets a batdog, obviously Damian needs a bat dragon. Name is a work in progress, but Damian still makes Danny a lil bat outfit to match Ace.
Eventually everyone finds out and Bruce especially is trying to figure out where the dragon came from and why he’s just chilling with the fam. The tamest dragon he’s ever seen tbh it makes him worried
Damian finds out about some of Danny’s powers and shenanigans ensue. Danny gets comfy with the bats and is treating the whole thing like a vacation away from his troublesome life. Dragons probably purr, right?
Eventually maybe Danny finds a way to communicate that he’s actually a teenager trapped in dragon form and he needs help. The batfam collectively lose their minds when Danny’s revealed to have black hair and blue eyes.
Do you get the impression the live action is treating us like utter morons?? Like I thought that making it aimed at an older audience would open the doors for more subtle story telling, but no, they're just using monologues to tell us eveything! Like in the second episode Katara's like 'oh his power isn't that he's the avatar, it's that he ~connects~ to people'. Girl we're not idiots we can see that!! And the first episode with Aang's goddawful 'I don't want this responsibility' monologue
THIS, YES. The word that keeps coming to mind is definitely "subtlety". The show for literal children? Had it. The remake for adults? Not so much.
Pac: [Laughs] Oh yeah, so about Fit – do you want me to tell you everything about Fit? Ok. I don't even know where to begin with! Um, let me think, ok. You know, me and Fit, we started being good friends. I'm not sure if we already took the next step, you know, you know what I'm saying? But we have been getting – getting closer and closer, you know. I don't know how to talk about this, Ramon. I'm a little shy... but, well, nothing 100% I would say, you know? In the meantime, I would say we are probably like, just... good-good friends, I think.
Ramon: Take your time.
Pac: But like– Do I have your blessing? You know, that's important to me, you know. 'Cuz like, you're really attached to Fit, and Fit loves you a lot. So having that blessing from you, it really means the world.
Ramon: if u don't hurt him
Pac: No, not at all!
Ramon: and love him with all ur heart and take care of him, then u have my blessing :D

Pac: Oh– that's so cute of you, Ramon. You know, I'm gonna do everything as you said on those signs, you know. That's actually going to be my- my– How can I say? My core, you know? My core, my– I don't know how to say, but my core stuff, you know? I'm going to follow these guidelines and I'm going to do exactly as you said. You know and– thank you, Ramon. That means a lot to me, you know, coming from you. And I hope everything turns out good, you know, and me, you, Fit and Richas can all hang out and having fun.
Ramon: i look forward to ur wedding then
Pac: [Laughs] You know, Ramon– as Fit once said to me, "baby steps!" you know? We are walking on baby steps. Maybe one day, who knows? You know? [He stares at the camera and stammers]
Ramon: walk faster :D
Pac: [Laughs] I'm gonna try my best. You know, in the meantime, we are just walking like this. [He walks super slow] Sometimes we'll go "wooo!" [He speeds up] And then [He makes another noise and walks backward] But I'm going to drink a swiftness potion and do my best to run out of it.
Ramon: thank u Pac :D
[They're interrupted by Fit, who runs up to them and startles Pac]
Fit: Uhh, I hate to break up the conversation, but we've got a raid going on at Tubbo's factory. We got to kill all of these Pillagers.
Pac: Oh, yeah. [To Ramon] Thank you Ramon! Thank you.
