Reasons Lucifer hates Alastor:
1. Annoyed about him “stealing” Charlie
2. Recognizes what a manipulative bastard he is and feels like the others don’t see it
2b. Able to read people’s true intentions, so knows Alastor is sus.
3. Alastor dissed him when he first arrived at the hotel, and Lucifer hates that
4. He just doesn’t like his vibes
5. Alastor is a prideful being, and Lucifer being the Sin of Pride can’t have someone being more prideful than him.
6. Just doesn’t like overlords
7. Got called a “short motherfucker who nobody likes” by Alastor
8. Alastor does have a past of sorts with Lilith and Lucifer knows it
9. Alastor is actually the one who served Lucifer the divorce papers for Lilith
10. He’s way too tall. It’s ridiculous
11. Alastor is Lilith, in disguise, and part of Lucifer recognizes this and is attracted to them, which feels like a betrayal.
11b. Alternatively, Alastor isn’t Lilith in disguise, but Lucifer still does feel some level of attraction for him.
12. He’s tired of seeing the guy’s face everywhere. He’s already gotten so many commissions with Alastor’s face attached ( @onesidedradiostatic )
13. Vox sent him an explicit drawing of Alastor naked for commissions and now Lucifer can never see the man the same way again.
14. Lucifer’s thing is red. Alastor can’t also be red. Or be redder than him.
15. He had a traumatic experience with a deer as a child and never recovered
16. Theories about Alastor being an angel are true— Lucifer recognizes this (and recognized that Vaggie was one) but sees that Alastor has yet to truly break away from Heaven
17. Lucifer is a stickler for cleanliness and can’t deal with the fact Alastor never bathes
18. Alastor’s scent is just really not good for the Autism
19. Lucifer had a traumatic experience with radios.
20. Lucifer just doesn’t like cannibals/serial killers
21. Heard Alastor speak French. Lucifer hates French people.
22. Alastor had a public campaign about how much ducks SUCK
23. One of Alastor’s many crimes as a human was duck abuse. So he’s permanently on Lucifer’s shitlist.
24. Alastor encouraged people to feed ducks bread, which is actually unhealthy for them.
25. Alastor actually spent the seven years harassing Lucifer and sending him hate mail
26. Lucifer just thinks his ears are stupid
27. Can sense true “evilness” from Al (could be malicious intent or could be that Al is working with Roo (the root of all evil))
28. Mistook Al for “A.I.” which he had heard was threatening creators (Alastor is threatening them, just in a different way.)
29. Alastor lied and betrayed Lucifer in an Among Us game one time and Lucifer never forgave him

Edward Cullen x Male!Reader

Tumblr media
Bella had to kept telling herself to wait just one more week, because then (Y/N) would be there and she could vent to him about how weird this town was.
The two had grown up together in Arizona and were practically inseparable. Their parents did that thing where they were convinced Bella and (Y/N) were going to date and get married and all of that, which just isn't happening. But it made his dad easier to convince when they asked if (Y/N) could move to Forks, Washington with Bella.
(Y/N)'s parents had just gotten a divorce and his dad was moving anyways, and he was old enough that he just wanted to stay with his dad (and little sister that would come to visit every once in a while) until he was an adult.
So after Bella left to Forks, (Y/N) and his dad started packing their bags and started their trip.
Bella could not wait to tell him about the school, the weird but oddly charming students, and the standoffish Cullen family.
Finally the week came to an end and Charlie drove Bella to pick them up from the airport.
(Y/N)'s father, James, had planned to buy a car once they got to the new house, but Charlie had so kindly offered to drive them until he did get one.
At the airport Bella ran up to (Y/N) and he caught her in a hug, laughing at her eagerness.
"Looks like somebody missed me!" (Y/N) squeezed out a laugh, Bella cutting off his air supply with the grip of her hug.
"It's been absolute agony without you here, I have so much to tell you- and warn you about."
"Oh damn, that doesn't sound good," (Y/N) replied as Bella helped pick up one of his bags.
"It's crazy out here." She nodded, and the two shared a look that only childhood friends could share.
"Any cute guys?" they had a hushed conversation to the car, Charlie and James too wrapped up talking about fishing to pay attention.
"I'm sure you'd find them cute," Bella scoffed, throwing a teasing smile over her shoulder as she loaded the trunk.
(Y/N) scoffed back, betrayed at her diss.
"I'm sure you went for the stalker-ish one anyways." With a sly smirk he got into the backseat, closing the door on her denials.
...
(Y/N) had settled in, conveniently living next door to the Swan's house, and drove with Bella in her old truck to school that Monday.
"So, Jessica is into Mike and Angela is with Eric. And Tyler flirts with everybody, but nobody goes out with him?" (Y/N) recapped from the tangent of drama Bella had been giving him.
"Yup, pretty much," Bella confirmed, turning into the school parking lot.
"And all of the Cullen's are super hot- but they're dating each other?" (Y/N) asked, more suspiciously this time.
"Well, they're all adopted, but yes. Except for Edward- but I already told you what happened."
"Yeah the weird smelling thing and the he disappeared just to come back with a different eye color."
"They could just be colored contacts," Bella corrected, still not sure herself.
"Strange... Welp, let's do this," (Y/N) sighed as he got out of the passengers seat of the car.
Bella shrunk into his side, all of the attention on her once again. Last time it was because she was the new girl, but now it's because she had her attractive best friend with her.
"Yo, Bella!" Mike called out, giving (Y/N) a confused glare.
Bella waved back and started walking over, (Y/N) following at her side. Leaning down to whisper in her ear (Y/N) held back a laugh, "You left out the part about Mike's crush on you."
Bella just rolled her eyes as they met up with the group.
"Everybody, (Y/N)- (Y/N), everybody," Bella lazily introduced.
"You just moved here, right?" Angela asked, holding Eric's hand as they lent up against Tyler's van behind them.
"Yes, I did. I grew up with Bella in Arizona and where she goes I go," (Y/N) laughed, nudging Bella in the side jokingly.
That's when he noticed her distracted state. Following her line of sight he realized she was staring at a car full of probably the most attractive people he'd ever seen.
"Who's that?" (Y/N) asked the group, acting clueless to get more information.
"Those are the Cullen's-" Jessica jumped right into the rant about their family.
When she was done she came closer to (Y/N), grabbing hold of his hand as she batted her eyelashes at him. "Let me show you around!"
Shrugging, (Y/N) waved to Bella, who rolled her eyes at Jessica's obvious flirting.
...
"Where'd you find that guy? He's so hot," Jessica gushed to Bella at lunch. (Y/N) hadn't sat down yet so she'd finally gotten a second to ask.
"We grew up together- he wasn't that hot when we first met, trust me," Bella almost snorted, playing with the food on her tray.
"You guys aren't like..." trailing off she wiggled her eyebrows to imply.
"No- god, no," Bella laughed. "He's like my brother."
"Oh, good. Less competition then," Jessica sighed.
"I don't think you'll be having much luck either, Jessica," Angela pointed out, nodding in (Y/N)'s direction.
He was flirting with some guy in the lunch line, the guys face bright red as he laughed at something (Y/N) had said.
Jessica looked heartbroken but Angela and Bella just laughed about it.
When (Y/N) finally joined them Bella raised an eyebrow at him.
"What?" (Y/N) shrugged indignantly, opening his milk carton.
"Not even a full day in and you're already jumping on them," Bella teased, popping a grape into her mouth.
"Hey, you told me there wasn't any cute guys here, I just wanted to see what he was like," (Y/N) protested. "I didn't even like him that much. Kind of a dick."
Hearing a sudden and loud snort of laughter, (Y/N) and Bella turned around to see the Cullen's lunch table, Edward hiding his face as he looked towards the windows as his siblings glared at (Y/N). Or maybe they just all had RBF- save for the short girl with the pixie-like hair. She smiled at (Y/N) and waved, so he waved back.
"They're so weird," Jessica whispered as she dug into her lunch.
"How much have you actually talked to them?" (Y/N) questioned, taking a bite of his apple.
Jessica didn't answer for a minute, looking kind of embarrassed. Angela rolled her eyes, answering for her. "Once- and it was Edward rejecting her."
(Y/N) snorted and then apologized, "Sorry. It just seems like you're holding a grudge on people you barely know." He then changed the subject, not wanting to make an enemy out of Jessica.
She really seemed like a good friend, he didn't want to go pushing her buttons, that'd be mean.
...
"Mr. Molina, it's nice to meet you. I'm your new student, (Y/N)."
"Ahh, Mr. (L/N), is it?" (Y/N) nodded. "You can sit in front of Edward Cullen. You're lucky we had an empty seat," he joked, pointing to where he was talking about.
That was when (Y/N) got his good first look at Edward Cullen. His gaze was intense, just like Bella had said, but it was less scary than she described it.
Seemed like a guy worth getting to know.
Walking over to the desk with Bella, (Y/N) held out his hand to Edward. "You're Edward Cullen, right? Mr. Molina told me to sit in front of you, but I've heard stories and wanted to introduce myself." He smiled confidently.
Edward hesitantly took his hand and shook it, (Y/N) not reacting to the hard coldness of his skin.
Or at least he didn't show it- (Y/N) was immediately thrown off but didn't want to put off this attractive guy.
"Like you said, I'm Edward. It's nice to meet you."
"Likewise." (Y/N) winked and sat in his chair, not looking back at Edward or Bella once.
Bella just rolled her eyes with good nature. She'd seen him do this before, if she'd felt uncomfortable or threatened by someone, (Y/N) would draw the attention to himself. That's what worked about their friendship, he could take the attention that she didn't want.
At the end of class, (Y/N) packed up his things and then helped Bella do the same. He waved to Edward with a "Bye!" and they left.
Out in the parking lot his siblings all waited for him by the car.
"What's up?" Emmett asked, his arm around Rosalie.
Alice squealed, "Oh! It happened, didn't it? I thought it was Bella at first but then I saw him and just knew it would happen!" She jumped up and down and clapped her hands.
"What happened?" Rosalie questioned again, Jasper smirking as he sensed Edward's emotions.
"He fell in love," Alice stage-whispered. She was teasing him, of course, but Edward grumbled all the same.
They all piled into the car but before Edward got in he looked across the lot to see (Y/N) leaning on the truck hood talking to Bella.
He hadn't fallen in love. He couldn't- not with a human.
With Bella it was just an obscene thirst... but this was different.

Sorry to cut this short, I wouldn't be opposed to writing more for this! I just think this is a good ending and leaves an open spot for a potential part 2!
Hope you liked it anon!

911 ep 701 first watch reactions
(I don't think I have the energy to write proper Buddie meta, so here's me randomly squealing instead...)
LMAO In case you were wondering whether s7 of 911 will be subtle about their gratitude/debt to ABC for saving the show, the answer is a resounding no.
Also, I have lost a lot of respect for Frank as a shrink, but gained a lot of love for him as a sass king. "Did she win!?" The murderous look Athena gave him was priceless. I love her, too. She doesn't even need words to rule.
Man, nooooo. Don't give me a mutual "I love you" between Bobby and Athena like that.
"Go ahead and cut the green wire." Everyone and their sister: "Green? You said Red."
9-1-1 is the superior comedy they slipped into our drink, while we were here for our weekly action, suspense, drama and familial love.
Buck broke off with Natalia, and the show really did it like that. XD Every single person who rolled their eyes at this pairing during s6, we were all justified, but wow. The show really is the only forum to respect the pair even less than fandom does. And of course we find out about it in the middle of a scene built around Eddie being half naked, Buck watching him, with the camera specifically turning so we can discover Buck was initially covered by Eddie's body, and the angle change reveals him, when the whole thing wraps up with Eddie welcoming Buck back to the land of the living... Yeah, wonder what made Buck feel alive again. Don't know. 'Tis a mystery. We were given zero clues...
"I want the honeymoon life." *cries* Chimney is just such a good, good man. And okay, expecting your whole life to be a honeymoon's a bit unrealistic, but Madney are living together and they have a child. They know this. Chim knows this, but he still wants to go for it. Aim for the moon, you'll at least land among the stars, right?
Bobby baffled by Athena's reaction to Norman and Lola is hilarious.
I like how Chim has a great idea, but it's still obvious that it's gonna go wrong, because he can't help going overboard with it...
OMG, that scene with Eddie recounting to Buck what Christopher's date was like... If I were to write my Buddie meta, I would serve a three course meal just from that. I mean, the fact that watching Chris hanging out with a girl he likes, makes Eddie compare it to "hanging out with his guy friends" (when there's no lack of interest in this girl... in fact, it turns out that if anything, Christopher's problem is the opposite of a lack of interest) is so telling. There's a reason why that's where Eddie's mind went.
But then also... Eddie's trust in Buck got to me, the way he went to his best friend (not his own gf) for help with Chris. But that was still played with half a smile. But then Buck sort of disses himself jokingly, and Eddie won't have it. "You didn't end up like you." He sees how Buck worked on being a better person, even when Eddie wasn't there for the worst of it, and he appreciates it, and won't let Buck forget it. Meeeep. I love them.
Oh Chim. I was giving you so much credit, and then you went and bought that outdoors jacuzzi. lol Still love him. That's what Maddie's reminding herself of right now, too. ;p
Poor Hen, she was great in this ep, but none of it was really about her, she was comic relief, both with Chim and with the red wire. Then again, she was amazing in this, like she always is with everything.
Eddie and Buck were both so good with Chris this ep, MY HEART. Buck with getting him to talk about what's really bothering him, and Eddie with realizing exactly what his son needs, and how to give it to him. They completed each other. Neither one would be helping Chris without the other one. Tell me again how they're not soulmates?
In conclusion, I love Bobby saying, "Let's go prove one of us wrong," when they're both right. Something WAS going on with Norman and Lola, AND Athena was using them to avoid him.
Argh. That scene of the ship and its passengers being hijacked was rough to watch. </3 I'll still be here to watch the conclusion of this. That's the power of 9-1-1 for you.
It def felt like a great kick to the new season. We had lots of comedy and fun, some great tension, some emotional moments (especially with Christopher), but all in all, it's still clear that the whole thing's a build up to next week. Are you excited?

Taehyung and jungkook's relationship is overlooked by 90% of the fandom solely because they are so controlled by the narrative of the fandom/company that they cannot quite accept that anything outside is even a remote possibility. Ive been more of a quiet observer for years now [my sister's an army since 2015] and I've seen the boys, moreover I know how marketing and kpop works. It's quite evident if u observe close enough of the pattern on how this group of seven guys who genuinely love music is marketed you would understand to what extent you're being brainwashed. Im not talking about this like a conspiracy theorist. It's quite simple and right infront of you. Yall refuse to accept it that's all.
1. There are a certain set of stories that are made to be told by them, over and over again. Even if it disturbs them or they are bored. E.g: 2018 disbandment story, vmin dumpling incident, jikook rain fight/tokyo trip, mind you there are many things that happend between people who lived together for 10+ yrs but if it cuts the flow of events you are made to believe happened you aren't gonna hear from it, ever.
2. Like stories there are dynamics that each pair is supposed to portray Taegi as annoying/annoyed duo, taejin/jikook as flirty HS boyfriends, namseok/taekook the awkward old friends and no matter how much the relationships change or evolve you won't see it cuz again, it won't FIT the narrative that has already been shown.
3. Like relationships there are characteristics that thankfully some members chose to break out of during their solo era: hoseok always being sunshine and loud ( he's quite serious and very dedicated infact ), jungkook being that muscle dude who only knows how to follow his Hyungs ( he's very independent and has a lot of targets he wants to achieve individually, he's very thoughtful and organized) and Taehyung being WEIRD and weak ( he's extremely intelligent and super strong he's strategic and disciplined)
4. This brings us to the whole Taekook narrative, the fact that they've been seen so much during solo era yet people had the audacity to still call them distant and awkward solely cuz it wasn't via company but through Taehyung's ig or jungkook mentioning him in interviews etc. I think it's needless to say they aren't comfortable being touchy and showy on camera for content, hell if they were to shoot everytime Taehyung and jungkook hangout there would he enough CONTENT till 2067. They're supportive of eo and have a very big shared friend circle, when jungkook went missing for almost 2 months we got to know Taehyung was the one he was with.
5. The thing is everyone [ including my own sister ] thinks that Taehyung is being desperate or such whenever he mentions Taehyung cuz a. Yall have actually led jokers run so fucking rampant that everytime the man mentions him actually doing something you're ready to throw him under the bus and call him a liar or such. b. Im not saying jungkook isn't close to anyone else but when he isn't working or shooting content and just wants to be himself the one you saw him most was around Taehyung and yes it matters. In the name of hating shippers yall have not only dissed the quite frankly PRIVATE bond they seem to share but went as far as dissing Taehyung himself cuz of the extreme level of manipulation yall are under.
Ik imma find armys [jikookers ]under this sooner or later calling me names but to be honest I'm sick and tired of yall dissing very real people and their very real human relationships solely based off the content yall are made to believe is 100% candid. Go touch grass, get friends, go date, don't obsess over them for a while then come back and try seeing it from a neutral perspective.

Hi, I hope you are well 💗
I was wondering if you could do Saiki K x reader, where reader and Saiki are best friends (and he secretly has a crush on them) and reader just got out of a bad relationship and thinks nobody will ever love them again, so Saiki tries to help them feel better and hint that he likes them ?
☮️&❤️
let me tell you, i love this ask sm. it has so much potential. for now i just spewed out whatever i could but this is such a lovely trope, especially for someone like saiki
saiki k x best friend reader (after your breakup)
- okay listen. saiki is bad at being subtle. especially when you're so oblivious. it just leads to So Much Chaos
- the fact that you just got out of a relationship makes it hard to pick up hints okay - anyways, saiki isn't focused on getting you to like him or anything. his "hints" just happen to slip out - but it's not just that, right? you're also best friends. SARCASTIC best friends. combine that with your self-deprecation and saiki's inability to handle romance and there's a disaster waiting to happen - you: ugh what if no one ever loves me for who i am? saiki: am i a joke to you? you: yeah saiki: fair enough - you: i hate my ex. i'm going to devote myself to making him regret this saiki: didn't you waste enough time in the relationship? you, now woke: holy shit you're right - you: saiki help me glow up saiki: there is literally nothing i can improve you: IS THAT A DISS? saiki: - he helps you through the breakup, too. in true best-friend fashion, when you call him in the middle of the night with the news, he's in your room within a second. he brings ice cream, a blanket, and for some reason, a cat. you don't even know where he got it from. but you needed it - for the next few days he buys you gifts (which you keep telling him you don't need) but he wants to remind you that even he can do the job of being a boyfriend better than your ex - all your mutual friends are like, how oblivious can she get? and since when is saiki so bold? - saiki has no idea this is a romantic thing to do. "i'm just proving anyone can be better than he was wdym it's just a statistical thing?" - your friends find this whole dynamic hilarious- chiyo especially, the romance fanatic, who has never seen saiki exhibit any emotion - every time you spend time with saiki, kaidou and aren pointedly leave you two alone (dragging a nendo as oblivious as you along with them) whispering and giggling. you're so confused but not complaining - honestly, half the school already thinks you're dating? everyone except the two of you has just accepted it as a fact that you're a thing - dude: so saiki, how's your girlfriend saiki: what girlfriend dude: y/n? saiki: she's not my girlfriend dude: oh really? then maybe i can try confessing to her- saiki: dude: why am i in florida? - yeah okay he's just the tiniest bit possessive since the breakup okay? he doesn't want you getting hurt again - and don't worry he brought the guy back from florida ❤ i had so much fun writing this ong i canNOT imagine saiki being subtle at all or even understanding the line between close friendship and romance. it's all so objective to him and my guy's probably so confused send me asks for hcs, oneshots, or anything in general, even if it’s unrelated to anime or writing! saiki k and haikyu for requests but maybe go through my profile before requesting for haikyu <3

I despise CherriSnake and here’s why
Tumblr media
Before we begin, something I want to clarify is that I don’t care if you ship or don’t ship CherriSnake. You do you, I’m not here to stop you and neither is this post. I just personally wanted to make a post on why I absolutely hate this ship.
Also, props to @cagneyblooms for helping me come up with some of the points.
REASON#1 - They don’t really work as partners for me
This is more of a personal reason to me, but CherriSnake is one of those ships to me where it feels like they absolutely can’t work out as a couple. Since the pilot is somewhat treated as canon in the show, they make no sense considering the fact that Pentious and Cherri absolutely despised eachother in the pilot. Both of them were locked in a turf war against one another and that hatred was mutual. Yet the show does a complete 180 from that and makes Pentious have this crush on Cherri out of nowhere, likely because Vivziepop wanted a straight HH ship and instead of deciding to just make a different character to pair Pentious/Cherri with or just make a entirely new ship. She just looked at the fandom, saw that CherriSnake was somewhat popular, and decided to make it canon last minute. CherriSnake during 2019-2023 just felt like a joke ship to me or something shippers who ship every character together would make. I mean, CherriSnake practically falls into a TON of popular tropes (Enemies/Rivals to Lovers, Angel x Demon, Girlboss x Goofball, probably way more) I’m not dissing this tropes, I even do these tropes myself with OC x Canon pairings I make. It’s just that CherriSnake felt rushed and last minute.
REASON#2 - They lack chemistry and actual interaction
To be fair, I partially put the blame on both Amazon Prime and Vivziepop for this. Amazon Prime because they only gave HH 8 episodes to really show its story, but I also blame Vivziepop for this. Because not only did she waste whatever time she had with those 8 episodes by showing us useless filler with the Vees and The Overlords instead of actually delving into the main sinners and why they’re in Hell. But she also crammed WAY too much content into 8 episodes instead of giving HH proper pacing.
But onto CherriSnake chemistry, Cherri and Pentious’s regular interactions pretty much prove to me that Vivziepop understands nothing about how actual relationships work and just make their dynamic one sided on Pentious’s part. Let’s be honest, Cherri does not reciprocate Pentious in the slightest considering the stuff she does to him. The shitty two dicks joke aside, not only was the kiss between her and Pentious forced because it was only a “heat of the moment” deal, but she also did this.
Tumblr media
(Source: TV Tropes under Sir Pentious’s page)
I get that Cherri isn’t exactly a nicest sinner demon in Hazbin, but this combined with the two dicks joke and the kiss she and Pentious share makes her seem incredibly shallow (which she is considering how rushed this ship is in general) If Hazbin Hotel was like Bojack Horseman like some people claim it is, either these would happen.
A. Cherri realizes she was shallow for only wanting Pentious for his two dicks and never really considered how he felt, either leading Cherri and Pentious staying friends or Cherri breaking it off with him.
B. Pentious calls out Cherri for being shallow, thus giving both him and Cherri some development.
C. Cherri realizes that she only liked the kiss because it was less of them being in love and more of a heat of the moment adrenaline rush.
Or literally anything else. Cherri and Pentious never have a genuine interaction that either doesn’t make Cherri seem incredibly shallow or isn’t comedic.
As for the final reason, it may be a bit of a stretch, but I still think it counts.
REASON#3 - It’s borderline pedophillia
Again, props to @cagneyblooms for making me realize this point. Also, because pedophillia is very much a serious topic + I don’t want to throw the term around. I’ll be providing more evidence than the other two.
I’m not kidding, CherriSnake (atleast to me) becomes borderline pedophillic once you think about the lore Vivziepop spoon feeds us through her livestreams instead of diving deep into it. According to Vivziepop, Sir Pentious was in his mid 40s (best speculated to be 45) when he died while Cherri died in her early 20s, already raising a few eyebrows.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah, this is already gross enough, but something that makes the age gap worse is the difference timeframe in which these two died in. Sir Pentious was confirmed to have died in 1888 London and Cherri Bomb died somewhere in the 80s. So not only was Pentious A GROWN ASS MAN WHO ALREADY HAD LIVED AND DIED BEFORE CHERRI WAS BORN, CHERRI WAS LIKELY BARELY A ADULT SINCE SHE WAS EITHER IN HER EARLY 20s AT BEST OR BARELY IN HER 20s AT WORST! This is also mentioning that Sir Pentious is also technically older than Cherri in Hell because depending on what exact year Cherri died in, Sir Pentious had either already spent nearly 100 years in Hell or he actually spent 100 years exactly in Hell when Cherri died. The only thing that really softens blow is that Pentious got a crush on her when they were both in Hell, meaning Cherri was technically still in her 20s in a way.
To conclude this, I hate CherriSnake. It’s one of the few Canon ships I actually despise since I either don’t care for Canon ships or I actually ship Canon couples as well. Even if Vivziepop wasn’t a terrible person, she’s still a really fucking awful writer who can’t stick to anything at all and is more concerned about her shitty Stoltliz soap opera rather than writing a good story. Writers like Vivziepop are the reason why research makes a good story.

Hellooo!! Could I plz have Hajime Hinata, Kazuichi Soda and Kokichi (maybe) with an reader that acts like Hiyoko?? :3 (doesn't necessarily hate Mikan, they are just mean lol) ty :D
Sure! I hope you enjoy, and thank you for requesting!
Hajime, Kazuichi, and Kokichi with a s/o who's like Hiyoko
Warnings: None
Hajime Hinata
-Bros a bit concerned ngl
-Like, why do you say the things you say? Who hurt you?
-He's conflicted, half of him wants to defend whoever you're attacking, but the other half is really curious how the conversation will play out
-If you're being rude to someone like Maharu or Mikan, he'll probably step in if he feels you've taken it to far because they don't really deserve the shit you give them
-But if you're going after someone like Teruteru or Nagito... he sees nothing
-Living embodiment of "I pretend I do not see"
-Straight up won't let you fight with Akane or Nekamaru, he would rather you stay out of the hospital
-Does try to calm you down in most situations, as he isn't big on conflict and he doesn't want you to insult the wrong person
-He doesn't tolerate people attacking you in return, however he does sometimes remind you that it wouldn't happen if you didn't stir up random fights
-He does feel pretty honored if you start a insulting someone who was dissing him though
-Don't get me wrong, he still dislikes conflict and will try to deescalate the situation, but he might let it go on longer than normal because he enjoys having someone stick up for him
-Hajime isn't the best at standing up for himself, so he feels a little honored that you are so eager to defend him, especially since you don't defend people often
-He's the one person you don't relentlessly insult and he appreciates that
-You guys balance each other out pretty well, the chill boyfriend and his feisty s/o
Kazuichi Souda
-Lowkey kinda scared to piss you off
-He's got low self esteem and you're pretty good at targeting peoples insecurities, so he's careful not to make you mad
-Not that you would target him because you love him too much, but he's still cautious
-Absolutely will not involve himself in any of your fights, he doesn't want to get caught in the middle of it
-It's not because he thinks it's funny to watch your target get verbally decimated definitely not-
-Unless you're bullying Nagito, in which case he will actively participate alongside you
-It's a funny sight to see because he's not great with coming up with meaningful insults on the spot but he tries
-If someone's coming at him he will hide behind you because he knows you'll defend his honor
-And as much as he hates conflict, if anyone says shit about you he will defend you with his life
-The mans a simp, and nobody makes fun of his partner on his watch
-He does appreciate that you're nicer to him then pretty much anyone else, it makes him feel special
Kokichi Ouma
-A match made in heaven (or hell)
-Totally joins in on ganging up on people with you, why bully people by yourself when you can do it with your s/o?
-Makes it a competition to see who can piss off the most people in one day
-He thinks it's funny that you both do the fake crocodile tears thing when people retaliate
-You too will playfully get into fights and insult matches with each other, but it's only for fun, its never malicious
-If your around the same height as Hiyoko, people call you two the ankle biters
-Naturally, you two make a lot of enemies around the school, so you have to defend each other quite often
-If you think Kokichi's mean normally, you should see how bad he gets when someone insults you
-He removes whatever miniscule filter he had before, and he goes in on them HARD
-That person will never bother the two of you again, in fact they probably avoid you two like the plague
-Kokichi definitely recruits you into DICE, most of the members have similar personalities to him, so you all get along quite well
-A terrifying duo, but you love each other and that's all that really matters

Hiii um. South Park :3
Maybe… main four and butters with a short ftm reader?
South Park :3 (I'm so sorry if this isn't that good, I'm not quite used to writing for an ftm reader,, I'm trying though I promise)
South Park - Main Four (+ Butters) With a Short FtM Reader
Kyle
Kyle is pretty tall, so he's used to people being shorter than him
Having to bend down for kisses and what not doesn't bother him
He'd never admit it, but he actually loves when you pull him down to your height for a kiss
He just likes a little assertiveness now and again, but only from you
If you're ever insecure about your body or masculinity, he's got facts and figures to validate you
And he'll absolutely listen if you need to vent
One of his favorite activities is destroying transphobes with the same info he uses to comfort you (plus some colorful insults ofc)
He discovers this the very first time he defends you against transphobes at school
"Are you okay? That guy was a major asshole."
"Am I okay? You should be asking the other guy! Cripes, you demolished him!"
"That's what he gets for dissing my boyfriend."
Stan
Whether he wants to admit it or not, Stan can appreciate a partner who'll wear the pants in the relationship every now and again
He has his share of insecurities as well, so he's got empathy for yours
He's the best listener for said insecurities, but as for advice...
He could use some himself,, he can't offer you much
He'll shower you in affection to make up for it though! Words of affirmation are his go-to, even if they are a tad awkward
He also sometimes uses humor to distract you
If someone ever misgenders/deadnames you, he'll immediately correct them with a glare
If the transphobia gets too intense though, the best he can do is get you away while making a few digs at the assailant(s)
He'll check to make sure you're okay once you're alone
"Yeah, I'm okay, I guess. Just... sucks, I guess."
"I'ou'll always be my big tough boyfriend. Well, maybe not big."
"Pfff, thanks, babe."
Cartman
He bullies you so much for being short
Secretly he thinks it’s adorable, which is why he keeps bringing it up
If you tell him to stop, he might ease up a little, but won’t completely quit it
Very blunt when it comes to comforting you
He’ll absolutely just interrupt you if you start spiraling while venting
He gives brief but sincere reassurance before insisting on cuddling while watching TV
He won’t openly defend you because he doesn’t want people to see his soft spot for you
His defense is more indirect
Like if someone deadnames you he immediately spits out:
“Kill yourself.”
“Cartman!”
You act all shocked, but you appreciate his efforts, subtle as they are
Kenny
Honestly he doesn’t really care that you’re short
He likes to try and pick you up sometimes though
This usually ends with you both laughing on the ground after he inevitably stumbles
When you come to him about your insecurities, he insists on touching you while you speak
He’d prefer to have you in his lap while he whispers validations in your ear, but he’ll settle for hand-holding or even just pinky-locking
If anyone ever so much as insinuates anything transphobic, it’s on sight
He’s throwing hands before they even finish the sentence
You’ve had to pull him off multiple people
You don’t apologize though (unless it was a genuine misunderstanding)
“They’re not gonna bother you anymore, babe.”
“I think they’re just scared of me now…”
Butters
Short person solidarity!!
The most supportive boyfriend ever
Definitely has at least one of those t-shirts that’s just the trans flag
Absolutely beams whenever he wears them, but he won’t tell people that you’re trans if you don’t want him to
Gets really pouty when you’re insecure
You’re just so amazing and valid in his eyes, how could you not see it?
Will vent right back at you about how awesome and cool and manly you are
But he’ll also just shut up and listen if you tell him that’s what you need
Gets even more pouty when people are transphobic
It’s more of an angry pout, though
You guys team up to battle the transphobes 💪
“Hey! That is not nice! His name is Y/n and he is a boy!”
“Yeah, asshole!”
Tumblr media
This is my first time writing an ftm reader, so pretty please do let me know how I can improve!! I’m ready to learn!
I hope this was okay anon, thank you for your request! And thanks for reading :D

OC questionnaire
Thanks to @drchenquill here, @somethingclevermahogony here and here, @mk-writes-stuff here, @elsie-writes here, and @dyrewrites here!
My last questionnaires:
Robbie, Gwen, Maddie, Noelle, Jedi, and Kelsey here.
Carmen, George, Akash, Sam, Lexi, and Ash here.
Gabriel, Carla, Parker, Rose, Alex, and Ewan here!
Below the cut I'll do: Liam, Hye-Jin, Wendy, Wade, Issa, and CJ!
#1- Liam
Which color do you hate?
“Beige. Oh my God, it's just a boring color. I thought that we were past this. Different shades of beige and brown are being used to be the ~aesthetic~ of so many people on Tiktok. Ma'am, where are you from, Boringsville??? I'm not dissing brown. Brown is a great color. But beige??? Who thought this would look nice on anything, much less everything? Why are all of your walls beige--you look like you live in a sandcastle. Man, I feel bad for Hye-Jin. Her powers appear beige! You poor thing. I have brown. An awesome color, remember. So earthly. Anyway, beige can go die with the sand in the Yukon River Basin for all I care. If I go into your house and see one beige wall, I'm leaving. A rainbow is weeping. You disgraced the rainbow. How dare you.”
If all the sounds in the world would cease to exist, which sound would you miss the most?
“I don't see the point in making me choose a favorite sound. Also, how do you know sound stopped? Ceased to exist? Sound exists as a vibration through matter. Why would that vibration suddenly stop? How do you know we didn't all just go deaf? That's a significantly more logical explanation than sound disappearing. And if you think I don't have an answer and am just avoiding the question, you're very mistaken. I'd miss people's voices. For a variety of reasons. Connection, analyzing tone, nuances of emotion or thought, even my own voice. Sure, I'd be able to learn a gesture-based language--I am not saying voice is the most important thing to hear. But considering I like a good oral debate, I would still miss it, even if it would take me time to adjust to the new mode of speaking. Next!”
What is the first rule you learned as a child?
“You are going to have to rebel and argue your way out of everything. You may or may not be able to tell, but I am a strongly opinionated person. I can make an argument out of everything. Knowing how to back stuff up with logic and facts to get your way. Push and push and push. Know your shit. If you're wondering how this was the first rule I learned, one of my first memories is refusing to eat my carrots because they were bad. I was...three and a half maybe. And I told my mom, 'if I eat these carrots, I will throw up, and then I'd have to eat more food, and you get mad when food is wasted'. I then ate carrots and threw up. Never had to eat them again.”
#2- Hye-Jin
What is one embarassing memory from your childhood that you can't shake?
“Oh, oh no. First day of class, kindergarten. I had to introduce myself in front of the class. I was so excited for my first day of class. I wore this cute little dress, my hair in high pigtails and bows. But when I stood in front of everyone else, I got so sick I threw up. I think I ate something like prune juice in the morning. My dress was ruined. Had to be walked to the nurse to change. Wore that the rest of the day.”
What would you take with you if you were trapped on a desert island for one week?
“Food, water, and shelter. Sunscreen. I'm not pale, but that doesn't mean I'll be protected from UV rays. I would like a change of clothes just so I feel clean. I wouldn't mind bringing one person along with me, but you said what, so that may not be an option. But I really think I could do it.”
What is your favorite animal?
“I actually really like snakes. They're super cool in terms of design. Love reading about them, and I have a snake themed room!”
#3- Wendy
What is your favourite animal?
“Changes depending on the day. Yesterday it was tigersharks. Today it's a water dragon. Tomorrow it may be a capybara.”
Do you have any obscure skills? What are they?
“I can basket weave. Some people think that's obscure.”
If you could change one thing about the world you live in, what would it be?
“More hours in the day so I can do what I want to do.”
#4- Wade
What is your favorite song?
“Rasputin. How can you not love that song? Mr. Brightside is up there, too.”
Do you like consuming happy, positive media, or sadder, more thought-provoking media?
“I like both. You need a balance in life. But thought-provoking in general. I like thinking about things, analyzing them. Not necessarily sadder stories, but thought-provoking.”
What is your favorite type of weather?
“I like it warm and sunny, but enough cloud coverage. The kind of weather where everything is greener, that makes you say out loud, 'it sure is a beautiful day.'”
#5- Issa
When is the last time you were afraid?
“Last week, I was staying up late working on an essay. I was home alone--something I rarely am with six siblings. It was eerily quiet. I already felt uncomfortable. I was on the phone with Alex, multitasking, so I could have someone to talk to to ease my nerves. She got up to pee, which left me alone in my living room for a few minutes. In that time, I heard a banging on our garage door. It was harsh, constant. I thought someone was trying to break in. Then as quickly as it came, it was gone. Alex got back on the line then. I would've felt much better if whatever that was happened any other time.”
Does the fear haunt you still?
“Not really. It was only a minute, maybe two. Took about an hour talking to Alex. But I stopped working on my essay for the rest of the night. Not that I didn't try, but Alex convinced me to stop when I couldn't concentrate due to my heart pounding.”
What do you do when you're afraid?
“What's with all the fear questions? Well, I usually stand my ground. I yelped a bit when that happened. I was frozen for a bit, but I actually was about to get up to check what the banging was when it stopped.”
#6- CJ
What was your favorite toy as a child?
“I had little mini figurines of a bunch of Puppets* characters. I liked them because most of my playtime consisted of me ordering them based on height. After I lined them up, I would play. I also liked burying a bunch of rubber balls in the yard, leaving them there for, like, a week, then digging them up again. My shovels were definitely a favorite. There was also some cool Alii tech thing that simulated growth of a plant. The entire life cycle, in fact. Man, that was awesome.”
What makes you laugh every time you see it?
“Issa and Alex invite us to their improv shows each Friday. Issa is the best at anything they give her. I could watch her all day. She loves putting inside jokes in her skits for me, and is great at linking back previous gags. And then Alex wins Can You Ask a Question? each time. But it's hilarious how she and Issa interact. One time, Wendy laughed harder than I'd ever seen, and she spit out her drink. Then this one asshole Ellie slipped on it during her turn. So yeah, the improv shows.”
Who is the most annoying person you know?
“Issa is annoyingly optimistic sometimes, but that's why I love her. Parker is also a bit annoying at times, but he's funny as shit, so I don't care. Gabriel is quite annoying. Everyone tells me that we're very similar, but I don't see it. Honestly, yeah, it's Ellie. I didn't want to say she was annoying cause she's mainly rude. She's constantly making fun of me for everything I do. Like she doesn't like how organized and specific I am for some reason. She asked for a pencil once, and I told her no, I have my pencils for a very specific reason, and don't let anyone else use them. I think she's hated me ever since. It's probably not as petty as that, unless it is. I don't know. Thankfully, I don't know her well enough to answer that question.”
*this universe's Muppets

My Opinions on Power Rangers Wild Force: Disc 3
The Danny x Max dynamic is getting stronger. So much in fact that I actually physically cringed at the wedding episode when they tried to make Danny as straight as possible again. KNOCK IT OFF.
On the one hand, I am seriously not a fan of Jindrax and Toxica getting mindwiped to get power upgrades into their ugliest forms. On the other hand, this does promise to become more interesting later down the line when they get their brains back.
TEN HUNDRED MILLION POINTS FOR JEN SCOTT ARRIVING IN THE PAST LIKE SARAH FUCKING CONNOR.
Admittedly I liked the Deer Zord. I feel Stag Zord would have been preferable to the naming of it, but you can't have everything.
I will not diss the singing princess. I will, however, never be able to not skip it, because it reminds me of my youth being forever traumatized by the featuring of the kind of after school programming that 90s kids and their parents were promised would help with brain development--that was an utter lie.
"How could they be both Mutants AND Orgs?" Well children, when two non-humans entities are bored and greased up like pigs at a county fair...
*army crawls on the set to slip twin wedding bands on Eric and Wes's fingers* Please, please just...just kiss each other. I can't stand the garbage antagonistic "flirting" with Taylor and Eric. I cannot stand it.
Creepy faceless child Animus continues to be my least favorite Deux Ex Machina.
Is Alyssa's family going to end up in some relation with the Watanabe family? Are we going down this path? Because the Power Rangers Daddy Issues Plague really doesn't have to continue. Alyssa seems to be a mildly competent individual, she doesn't deserve to have surprise ninja/samurai family referenced.
That reference to Principle Kaplan in Alyssa's award for excellence was a little tongue in cheek moment for OG reference, sure. But was it deserved? No really. Show us an Appleby Award please; she had to deal with ALL of the Mighty Morphin Rangers AND Bulk and Skull AND Rita believing that taking over Angel Grove would mean taking over the world. Give her the medal, give her the cheers.
Toxica fucks up, Toxica gets punished, JINDRAX PROTECT.

Teenage Dirtbag (Peter Parker x F!Reader) Part Two
a/n: yes i finally did it bitches, i think the first one will get more attention if i put out a better, second part. i might redo the first part at some point cus its kind of cringe and i wrote it a year ago. also, taking away reader's powers cause i cant find a logical explanation for her to even have any LMAO i really only gave her any because i wanted her to have a reason to be there when tony died but idk ill figure smth out OK IM DONE TALKING ENJOY READING
Part Three
pairing: peter parker x fem!stark!reader
warnings: cussing, math😧, reader simping for may if u squint
word count: 1.6k
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Peter Parker. The absolute nerdiest nerd of Midtown. How did a Stark of all people notice him? She can't do math. And math was slightly important if you wanted to graduate high school, so she gratefully accepted Peter's invitation to help her pass.
She was hesitant to accept his offer, assuming he only wanted to help in an attempt to be closer to the oh so amazing Tony Stark. What was so amazing about him anyway? Oh he's smart and wears metal, BOO HOO-
(Y/N) shook the thoughts dissing her own dad from her head as she jogged up the steps of Peter's apartment complex. Her backpack bounced against her back on every step, not that it was very full.
She had never talked to Peter much, they shared a couple classes and that was it. He was cute and smart but an outcast. She knew Flash bothered him for no reason and that he hung out with that kid- What was his name again? Bob? No, it definitely doesn't start with a b. It was some three letter name, but she couldn't exactly place i-
"No, Ned! She's literally on her way right now! I'm not lying dude! Take a pict-? No, that's so creepy! Don't you dare come over, I'll kill yo-" Peter's voice sounded muffled through the door, but not so muffled (Y/N) couldn't make out what he was saying.
Ned! That was it, she knew it was three letters, that's good enough. Trying to ignore the fact Peter was clearly talking about her, and way too loudly at that, she brought up her hand to ring the doorbell before stepping back.
"Oh my god, I'm hanging up idiot, she's here. Don't come over. Goodbye- Yes, I'll tell you what happens- GOODBYE!"
(Y/N) grinned, leaning over slightly to hide her smile. This guy was adorable.
Said guy opened the door with a nervous grin. "Heyy, you made it, ah, come on in." She nodded, walking past him. He had a nice apartment, real homey.
"Do you- live here alone?" She asked, turning around.
He laughed, not out of humor, more of a filler laugh. "No, I live with my aunt, she's working. Do you think- a fifteen year old could live alone?" He asked, a little concerned.
(Y/N) thought for a good few seconds, "Nah, just wondering. I like this place, it's cute." She smiled back at him, a genuine one. He didn't think she'd be so nice, standing silently in response.
She took the awkward silence as an invitation to continue speaking for him, "So, your room? Or do you want to do it on the couch?"
"Do w- do what?" he whispered, his jaw falling to his feet.
(Y/N) broke into full on hysterical laughing, throwing her head back at his reaction. "Oh my god, Parker! You're hilarious, man." She managed to get out between fits of laughter, slapping him on the shoulder.
He felt the wind get knocked out of him, his jaw still on the floor. "Uhm, the couch- yeah, couch is fine." Man, his voice broke a lot.
-----
"If 7 (y - 3) = 2 (y - 9) + 2y, what's the value of y?" Peter turned to (Y/N), watching her scribble down the equation on her loose piece of paper. She suddenly stopped, staring intently at the numbers on the page.
"Do you want hel-" "No."
Peter leaned back a bit, still looking over her shoulder, as she did nothing.
The numbers danced over the page, blurring into shapes in front of her. God, she hated numbers. Letters too, who the hell decided to put them together and torture children with them? She shook her head before looking at Peter with a sigh. "Yeah, yeah okay I want help." She mumbled, handing him the paper.
He chuckled lightly, "Well uh, I can't answer for you but first you have to simplify each side so it's not as scary, you know? So basically, taking it apart. First you look at 7 (y - 3), what's 7 x 3?"
'God, I hate this, please let someone throw a brick through that window to hit me right on the hea-'
"21. So, then you'd have 7y - 21, right?" She looked at Peter, praying she was right, and he didn't think she was some idiot.
"Yes, exactly!" He grinned, leaning over to write that down on the paper while (Y/N) let out a long sigh of relief. He was a good tutor, she'd have to pay him a good amount, not that it'd be hard. A cute tutor too, even with his weird interpretations of everything she said.
The door opening made both their heads snap in the direction of it, watching a- really pretty woman walk in? "Who's that...?" (Y/N) mumbled, staring at her with no shame.
"My.. aunt- why did you say it like that?" He asked quietly, looking back at the young Stark. "I didn't say it like anything, I was just asking." She retorted, looking back at him. "No, you were like 'Whooo'sss thaaaat?'" He did his best (Y/N) impression, earning a not so impressed look from his student.
She was a little impressed by his sudden confidence in talking to her, she wanted him to talk to her like that all the time, instead of being so nerv- Wait, what was she thinking, that's so weird to even think a-
"You brought home a girl, Peter?" The beautiful woman asked, setting a few groceries down on the counter.
Peter turned slightly red, closing some of the textbooks. "Uhm yeah Aunt May, I thought I told you I was helping a friend with homework." He clenched his jaw, staring wide eyed at his aunt.
"You didn't say it was a girl, a pretty one too." The older woman laughed, opening the fridge to put away some milk.
(Y/N) smiled at that, nudging Peter with her elbow. "I love your aun-" "Dude!" Peter whisper yelled, shoving some textbooks, that weren't even (Y/N)'s into her backpack and zipping it shut quickly.
"But uh- we were finishing up, right (Y/N)?"
The younger Stark sighed and nodded, "Yeah, my dad is texting me crazy anyway." She explained, opening her backpack to take her wallet out.
Peter quickly stood up, "Oh, it's free, I was just helping you out, you know, it wasn't a big deal-"
(Y/N) cut him off, shoving two twenties into his fidgeting hands. "We might not have finished that last problem, but you helped me finish almost every single one on that worksheet Parker. That's more than my dad has helped me with." She whispered the last part with a grin, "I'll see youuuuu.. next weekend? At that burger joint down the street?"
He didn't respond before she said goodbye to Aunt May and walked out the door.
He stared at the door with an open mouth before looking down at the money in his hands. "$40 bucks for a 35 minute tutoring session..?" He mumbled.
"I like her!" Aunt May exclaimed, also looking at the door with her hands on her hips. "You'd be adorable together; you should really shoot your shot Pete."
Peter gasped, gaping at his aunt. "It's not like that, you're so weird May." He dragged his hands down his face, groaning. "Come on, that's (Y/N) Stark! It's definitely like that. She seems really nice too, nicer than her dad seems at least. Also, she totally just asked you out."
"It's to do homework!" Peter defended, picking up the rest of the textbooks on the coffee table.
"And to eat. Which means it's a date."
"I- what?!" Peter gave up, dragging his feet to his room with a very red face.
-----
"What's his name?"
"Peter."
"His full name, (Y/N)."
"Sorry, I didn't ask for his middle name."
Tony sighed, rubbing his forehead. "If he's harmless, why won't you just tell me his name."
(Y/N) kept a straight face, staring down her dad. "Because you'll search him up and stalk him anyway. Like the last two guys I hung out with in the past like five years."
She sat on one of the stools at the counter, swirling a straw in her smoothie.
"What do I have to do to get you to just tell me?" He asked, leaning against the sink on the other side of the kitchen, facing her. She hummed, looking up.
"Tell me what that meeting was about, with the secretary of state." She said, looking back at him.
He groaned, "No, pick something else. I'll buy you 1,000 Honey Buns if I have to."
"Just tell me! It's not like I have anyone to talk to about it if you do, my lips are sealed." She held out her pinkie, leaning over. "You're my daughter, it's impossible for you to shut your mouth."
(Y/N) gasped in offense, dropping her hand onto the marble surface. "Fine, I'll bribe Steve, he tells me everything." She stuck out her tongue before hopping off the stool and leaving the kitchen with a huff.
"You better tell me that kid's name, don't make me look through your phone, young lady!" He yelled after her, before sighing and putting her empty cup in the sink.
Tumblr media
a/n: ok its not even much better than the other one but its progress and oh boy this is gonna be a long series at this rate. and i changed the name cause the other one was weird and cringe

Reasons Alastor may hate Lucifer:
1. He hates anyone more powerful than him
2. He’s talked to Lilith and hates Lucifer out of solidarity
3. His deal with someone in the Morningstar family
4. He has his own daddy issues, and thus hates all daddies
5. He thinks the dude is just pathetic
6. He actually does care about Charlie and thinks he’d make a better father
7a. He used to be a satanist as well as practicing voodoo, and is hurt that Lucifer never returned his calls
7b. Alternatively: Lucifer DID return his calls, but they had a falling out
8. He’s actually Adam in disguise (nobody ever saw the two of them together at the same time and the footage Vox has is deepfaked)
9. He’s LILITH in disguise
10. He dislikes the fact that Lucifer also has a cane. ONLY ALASTOR IS ALLOWED TO HAVE A CANE! (Hi tomota fans 😂)
11. Alastor is Charlie’s biological father.
12. Alastor hates not being the oldest man in the room.
13. Alastor hates rubber ducks. Lucifer is the creator of his greatest enemy.
14. Lucifer can turn into a bird. And Alastor HATES birds. They shit on his vest. (Hi again)
15. He believes he’s the only one allowed to wear red
16. He hates hats (they don’t fit over his ears)
17. He feels like he must back up Niffty, as she is the only “short royalty” allowed in the hotel
18. Lucifer dropped a diss track about him/radio and Alastor never forgave him
19. Lucifer is an open supporter of VoxTek
20. Lucifer cut in front of him in line one time when Alastor was at the Hellmart getting ingredients for jambalaya after destroying a ton of TVs
21. He just looks stupid.
22. Lucifer is making him rethink is aroaceness AGAIN AFTER HAVING FINALLY FOUND A LABEL THAT FIT (oof, boy, I’ve been there, don’t worry! Still aroace!)
23. He’s a good Christian boy who was taught to hate the devil.

What are the odds of, 20 years from now, IS releasing a 3 Houses remake but with:
most of the “uwu” moments removed
Edelgard being constantly and explicitly portrayed as a villain with characters calling her out on her actions
Massively reduced recruitment options
deeper worldbuilding for Almyra and Adrestia
Claude explicitly adressing that Almyra's just as much at fault for it's bad relations with Fodlan as the other way around and swearing to work to get them to stop pillaging and taking child slaves
TWISTD not being so story-breakingly OP
CF not existing at all, or at least being rewritten from the ground up and being fully finished instead of a glorified reskin of another route
Dimitri's friends, especially Dedue, supporting him and being important for his character development instead of just Byleth
Byleth being fully-voiced and having a very clearly-defined personality and beliefs, being an Avatar only in the fact that the player can choose a different name for them but otherwise being a normal FE protagonist
Rhea's S-support being erased from existence, along with her getting new supports with her family and friends and more plot relevance post-timeskip
Sothis' S-support also being erased, especially if CF still exists, and having her be rewritten so that she only gets her memory back right before fusing with Byleth, apologizing to her children for leaving them alone again but refusing to let Byleth die, staying unambiguously dead for the rest of the game
I highly doubt any of this will ever happen, mind, but if it did, 3H might just jump multiple spots into being one of the best FE games lol
Oh, anon :(
I'm afraid this will never happen lol
FE16's main appeal is the uwu factor, you have to feel bad for Supreme Leader who is sekritly the red emperor, even if she does red emperor things.
That's the basis on which FE16 was built, a lot of parasocial pandering towards Supreme Leader, which will make the player feel "sad uwus" when they will have to fight her, always wondering if they couldn't have picked her route instead.
(I say "sad uwus" and not "feel bad", because Fates made the player feel bad, by having characters react to Corn's choice, and Corn, in turn, reaction to all the salt and shit thrown at their face, as the result of their actions).
And while we could think FE16 is also a story meant to challenge the players, and have them realise they're interacting with biased narrators so it's up to them to find the truth and make their own opinion about the world - imo this reading, while a thousand times more interesting than "uwu be sad uwu" is, imo, not the one the devs prioritized, hence the constant supply of Hresvelg Grey.
As I ultimately came to realise (when nopes was released lol), no Fodlan game can circle around and ignore the uwu factor. Uwuing about Earl Grey and always being a carpet to some lord characters is part of Fodlan's DNA - the faves will always take precedence over the world/lore's coherence.
Clout wonders about Fodlan's isolationism and if it has any relationship with Seiros's tenets? No one, not even Hilda, will tell him that Fodlan might not like its neighbours because said neighbours are always trying to invade them (as she could speak for Almyra). Leonie and Claude wonder if they will get some sort of retribution for saying out loudly they don't believe everything good in the world comes from Sothis... when the Alliance is later revealed to be a place where no one really gives a fuck about religion, and when no line, on-screen, has been thrown around that could justify their doubt and worries (not even a random NPC dissing people for being students in the officer's academy even if they are not particularly religious).
Supreme Leader is another can of tea lol, but you get the meaning.
This is also why, I believe, we will never get WoH meaningful content (and not Epi wanting to use the power of friendship to help his genociding fwends!) because we can't uwu about it -
Much like every story centered on the Lions (even if AM got the Parley scene...), a plot hax has to happen to make you forget everything about the red emperor emperoring because now she's a puppet and nothing has ever been her fault and what is even agency and accountability ?
So we got the general "good old academy days" that Engage tried to push, and the recent Heroes alts -to avoid talking about post TS Fodlan, because IS doesn't want to talk about post TS Fodlan.
I mean, if you're not in FE16 with the various "Rhea maybe BaD bcs Nader raids Fodlan every monday to show everyone how large his penis is" and unable to meaningfuly interact with that world, all the "Crust System + IdEaLs" nonsense just sound like Ashnard's battle convo, and while Almedha still seems to be fond of him, she's the only one on Tellius who still has positive feelings about Ashnard as a person.
Tl:Dr : Fodlan's DNA is "Supreme Leader uwu" + "Rhea BaD" + "don't ever question the characters and nod when they say something ridiculous".
If you remove even one of those core principles, FE16 crumbles, so at that point, it wouldn't be a remake that would be released, anon, but an entire AU to the game.

One bar in Megan Thee Stallion’s ‘Hiss’ sent Nicki Minaj into a 72-hourlong online spiral
OPINION: Nicki’s response track was less than mid, and the internet is still clowning her for it.
Monique Judge
Jan 29, 2024
Tumblr media
OPINION: Nicki’s response track was less than mid, and the internet is still clowning her for it. 
Editor’s note: The following article is an op-ed, and the views expressed are the author’s own. Read more opinions on theGrio.
When Megan Thee Stallion dropped her diss track “Hiss” at midnight on Friday, Nicki Minaj responded on Twitter (we still not calling it X, so cry somewhere else, Apartheid Clyde) within 22 minutes, and at the time I published my first column about it, she was still going. That was at least 12 hours after the song dropped, but less than 24 hours.
I make a note of the timestamps because Nicki Minaj continued to rant and rave about Megan Thee Stallion for 72 hours with almost no breaks. 
She alternated between raging on Twitter and aimlessly rambling on Instagram Live and during some of those moments, she teased tidbits of the supposed hot diss track she had been holding in the vault for some time, but what she proffered in those moments was akin to Dr. Seuss rhymes about Megan having big feet, as I wrote about before. 
She made several disgusting comments about Megan’s mother being dead, which led to people commenting on the fact that Minaj has also lost a parent; her father was killed in a hit-and-run accident on Long Island in 2021, and people who were defending Megan didn’t hesitate to make jokes about that.
The entire time Minaj was ranting, people kept calling for her to release her diss track. She is, after all, the self-proclaimed “Queen of Rap.” Surely she had some hot heat in the chamber for Meg, right?
Y’all, I’m here to tell you that she in fact did not have hot heat in the chamber for Meg. 
As I type this, she’s still ranting on Twitter, but just 22 minutes before her online spiral reached the 72-hour mark — at midnight last night, she released the track “Big Foot,” and the internet collectively groaned with displeasure at the mid-ness of it all. 
ok might need a class action lawsuit on behalf of everyone who stayed up for this track because um— Desus MF Nice💯 (@desusnice) January 29, 2024
Not a single woman in the game will fear her again it’s like we saw behind the Wizard of Gag City’s curtain— Ira (@iramadisonthree) January 29, 2024
This going down as one of those legendarily hilarious nights of all time on this site— CHOCKYNILK (@Ofcoursehedoes) January 29, 2024
She cannot be serious. 3 days of spiraling online only to release this hot garbage? This diss is basically just her tweets. Where are the bars, schemes, punchlines? I see why she couldn’t spar with Lil’Kim and Remy because this is embarrassing. #BIGFOOT— Jordan Sumbu (@JordanSumbu) January 29, 2024
“Big Foot” is basically a regurgitation of all the aimless rambling she did on IG Live and Twitter, thrown against a beat someone created on a Casio keyboard. 
That’s probably because she couldn’t get anyone to let her use a track to diss Megan on. 
She mailed in 76 General Mills Box Tops and got that beat in return— Richard LaMarkus Bailey (@RichardBComedy) January 29, 2024

She initially said she had a track from Lil Ju, but when she asked if she could use it, she was told “no,” and Lil Ju himself put a tweet out that seemed to vaguely reference his stance on the matter. 
Ju Ju has done a lot of work with Megan and produced some of her hottest tracks, so it’s understandable that he would stand with the artist who is actively putting money in his pocket. 
The lyrics were very simple and unoriginal. There was nothing compelling in the rap and there was no rhyme scheme. She simply said “foot” a bunch of times and “Megan” and that was the extent of it. There was a bar in there about Pardi and Trey Songz and Tory Lanez, but the entire song sounded like someone who didn’t really put a lot of thought into what they wanted to say before they said it. 
The “Mine Name Is Peaches” rap from “Coming to America” was better than this. 
youtube
At the end, she goes into a 90-second slurred spoken word rant, and I…
Nicki acted like she had all this smoke for Megan, and in the end, it was imaginary smoke. It was steam and not even a big rush of steam like from a caboose or something. It was that little hiss of steam that came out of your iron when you put water in it before adding that crease to your khakis. 
This was her beefs with Remy Ma and Lil Kimall over again. She didn’t have a real answer for them either, and it makes me wonder where is the fabled Nicki that everyone says has a wicked pen game? 
Where is the Nicki who allegedly wrote the verse on “Monster” that made us all say that was her song and not Kanye’s? 
my hot ticket still that the monster verse ain't even that good, y'all just got thrown off by the different voices https://t.co/ck8eJtGhwk— Jin Jerrelle (@RobLives4Love) January 29, 2024
She claims to have four more songs to release, but if they are anything like this one, she should probably keep them to herself. 
Never in my life did I think I would see another rapper kill their career in real time over the internet, yet, here we are. 
When it happened with Kanye, it was easy to say that we all expected it at some point. He had been spiraling for a long time, and his behavior was getting more and more erratic as time went on. His ex-wife talked about it on her show, and far be it for me to side with Kim Kardashian on anything, but the one thing we agree on is the fact that Kanye was not well, and it did not seem to be getting any better. 
I’m going to be honest and say that I stopped being a Nicki Minaj fan a long time ago. 
I hate bullies, and her behavior toward up-and-coming young Black women rappers was reminiscent of someone who was trying to assert their dominance on a cell block or a schoolyard. It was borne of insecurity and intimidation, and it manifested itself in ugly ways that we all saw play out on the internet. 
That’s the thing about social media. It has given us a peek at what our favorite celebrities are like when their handlers aren’t around and they are allowed to post whatever they are thinking in the moment unchecked. 
Even if they delete the things they said, the internet is forever (word to Cardi B), and someone will have a screenshot or a download of the video even if said celebrity has since tried to erase it from our memories. 
Nicki is particularly nasty to the new school of rap girlies, and she adds an extra layer of ick to it by weaponizing her fanbase against them as well as anyone else who dares to say anything critical about her on the internet. 
This is a fact that everyone acknowledges, and it has made her less likable over the years. 
St. Ives Apricot Scrub. Use to be that girl until we found out how awful she really was. https://t.co/UhPcaAasAo— S. (@sinsandsunsets) January 28, 2024
As this played out over the weekend, I couldn’t help but repeatedly ask where were her people. Does she have a team? How are they letting her spiral openly like this on the internet without stopping her? 
She exists in a vacuum where her every thought is bounced through the echo chamber of her rabid fans who affirm and agree with everything she says. 
When she makes wild allegations about her popularity and success on the charts, she only uses tweets from fan accounts who say favorable things about her. 
She seems to be lacking in self-awareness, and she spent a lot of time this weekend blaming Megan for the fact that she wasn’t able to use the track she wanted to use for her diss record. 
She claims Megan and Roc Nation are conspiring to block her from success because Megan is afraid of her, and the funniest part about all of that is Megan dropped that track Friday night and dipped. 
Ah. So this is about access to Jay and Bey? Is that what this is all about? Please…I cannot understand why a generational icon is willingly crashing out like this. https://t.co/Np5OsTJHuf— Gerrick Kennedy (@GerrickKennedy) January 29, 2024
This obsession over the idea of forces trying to “replace her”…pure paranoia. Nicki broke a glass ceiling. Of course new generations of women would thrive and be inspired by her. No one denies that. This idea that no one other than her can have success at any time is clear.— Gerrick Kennedy (@GerrickKennedy) January 29, 2024
Competition is one thing. Nicki’s fixation on supremacy has turned her into a parody. A fan base that takes critique or anything that’s not blind praise as hate so they pounce and attack, encouraged by her. Increasingly uninspired music. Unhinged behavior. We’ve seen this before.— Gerrick Kennedy (@GerrickKennedy) January 29, 2024
If we making it strictly about the music; Nicki lost. Bad. But the way she’s carried online? That’s a real loss of dignity here. I do worry about what happens once she realizes those of us outside her echo chamber aren’t clapping for her.— Gerrick Kennedy (@GerrickKennedy) January 29, 2024
We haven’t heard a peep from Megan since. The only tweets and posts from her were posts to amplify her song “Hiss,” and honestly she didn’t even need to do that because Nicki Minaj was Megan’s one-woman PR team the entire weekend the way she kept Megan’s name in her mouth. 
It’s a sad state of affairs and an unfortunate thing to watch, but it’s also an example of how some people live in a constant state of lack and believe that a win for someone else means a loss for them. 
The world doesn’t work like that. 
In this world, there was room for a Megan and a Nicki, but sadly, Nicki couldn’t see that, so through her words and actions, she has made it entirely Megan’s world at this point. 
Do we have a new “Queen of Rap”? Possibly. 
I can’t see any way for Nicki to redeem herself after this. She has come completely undone and unraveled in front of the entire world. 
Let’s pray that she gets back on her good foot, cause this ain’t it.

Hemlock at Empire Con
Tech describes Dr Hemlock as a ghost, but Echo walks in and tells them that his contact has told him that Hemlock will be on Eriadu in two days time.
So was Echo’s contact Saw Gerrera?
And how did Saw find out that Hemlock, the ghost who no one knows anything about, would be there if Hemlock didn’t give him that information himself?
Because there’s a good chance here that you’re unfairly placing the sole blame for Tech’s fall onto Saw instead of realising that it was actually the end result of Hemlock setting everyone else up for his own power hungry ends.
But slapping people’s emotions with the view of Tech falling (unlike only seeing Steela Gerrera after she’d fallen to her death in TCW’s Tipping Points, which set Saw on his path to winning his war no matter what) has been all it took to stop people looking at the earlier part of this episode. Which is a deliberate tactic to make fans react in a specific way to distract from what else is going on here, so you don’t notice who’s really to blame for all of this or what else is going on here.
.
So lets look at what Hemlock does here in a little more detail:
Hemlock’s shuttle, along with an escort of 3 TIE fighters, leaves the carrier and heads down to the planet. The shuttle docks at the mountain fortress and the TIE’s depart without further mention.
Hemlock appears to be alone on his shuttle, except for maybe a pilot. But the ramp is not retracted after he exits so that’s unclear. He takes a good look around as he walks down to meet his trooper escort.
As he approaches the meeting room doors Hemlock shifts his hands about. First they’re behind his back, then he rubs his gloved (cyborg?) hand (sending an arrival notification?), then puts them back behind his back again.
And here’s where the political bitch fight begins.
They’re on Tarkin’s home turf here and Hemlock has dissed him by arriving late. Tarkin for his part does what we saw his protege Rampart do previously when he was asserting his dominance. Focuses on his datapad and barely looks up at Hemlock while he points out that he’s late.
Hemlock’s only response is to coolly say that there were matters that required his attention. He sits and looks around to see who’s present. There are 8 chairs, but only 5 people at the meeting meaning that Tarkin is flanked by his cronies on both sides, but Hemlock isn’t.
.
When it’s his turn to speak Hemlock is straight in there to stress that he’s making progress and that what he’s doing is of great importance to the Emperor. (Note Tarkin’s expression here)
He gets up and walks about, Tarkin questions the time and money required by his project, and after saying that science isn’t something you can rush he glances at the crony sitting to Tarkin’s right before moving back towards his chair by way of the crony closest to it, touching the back of the seat and getting the full attention of the occupant as he does so. Making sure he has as much focus on himself as he speaks that he possibly can as he casually drops in the fact that he’s using the remaining clones as test subjects for his experiments, presumably solving issues both of wavering loyalty and the number of mouths to feed, house, etc. on the Empire’s budget in one fell swoop.
What he’s doing here is just as important as the words he’s using as he talks about using Kaminoan technology to brainwash and physically alter future soldiers to create an ‘enlightened society’ too scared that they might be next in line for the same treatment if they try to fight back against it.
Hemlock assures them all that no one, anywhere, knows what he’s doing or where he’s doing it, so they’re not going to get caught by any bleeding heart pro-clone senators because they don’t know where he lives. (Unlike everyone sitting here in Tarkin’s house)
And then there’s a perfect opportunity for him to stick the knife in again. The guy who’s worked with the clones before asks what they’ll do if the clones find out about this and fight back (note Krennic’s frown) , and Hemlock is right in there to point out that some of the clones already have fought back.
Tarkin is quick to respond, but he’s been forced into a defensive position here, so it doesn’t matter how fast he replies or how much speed and force he says they’ll use to squash any clone uprising, not even how fast he moves on to Krennic’s turn at show and tell, he’s been made to look weak in front of the others.
And Hemlock knows this, and looks terribly smug as he sits back in his seat while Krennic talks about the Death Star project.
.
Cut to the clones and Echo points out that many of the surveillance systems have had cycled deactivations in various corridors, Tech notes that that’s really odd especially given the high ranking Empire staff present.
Then Tech finds that the quadrant they’re in has the entire surveillance system deactivated and they find the set charges.
But none of this has set off any alarms in the building. Which seems suspicious given the people sitting in the meeting room not too far away and the very high level of security you’d expect there to be.
So this smells like an inside job. One which has provided clearance codes to shut systems down without drawing any attention.
.
Saw says he didn’t expect to find Hunter and Tech here, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t expecting to find Echo.
Echo had been working with Rex, had probably used their shared contacts to gain this information, so there’s no reason for Saw to think that’d he’d be there with the Batch instead of being alone, assuming that he knows Rex is busy elsewhere.
Tarkin wants Echo, and Hemlock wants to usurp Tarkin. And taking what he’s after allows him to one up him by getting what he’s been looking for, to use Echo as leverage against him to get what he wants from Tarkin, and to make Tarkin look weak by having had his base infiltrated in the first place.
Saw wants to fight the Empire, and will do whatever it takes in order to do so. Would he sell Echo out to Hemlock in order to try to gain some advantage over the Empire? Without a moment of hesitation!
So did Saw arrange to trade Echo, to either have him on planet and available for capture or stunned by his team and handed over in person later on, in exchange for the means and the opportunity to infiltrate the building and destroy Empire property and high ranking staff members. But was actually just helping Hemlock make Tarkin look weak in his own house by having to raise defences against intruders in a place which should be totally safe and impenetrable?
Yeah. Probably.
Saw is easy to manipulate via his pain and anger, far easier at this point than when he’s older and more jaded when we see him in Andor or Rogue One. And we see him choose to take a short term gain over the long term ones more than once in the animated shows. He doesn’t want to plan, he just wants to lash out in his pain and anger and take from them like they took from him.
He also works to get himself out without worrying about anyone behind him. Tech and Hunter aren’t his people and sacrifices have to be made, right?. Assisting his wounded companion gives him a reason to be leaving the compound without being questioned and the rest of his team meet him at the hangar.
.
Back in the conference room the alert comes over the comm that insurgents have infiltrated the complex. Guards move in, blast doors close and Tarkin asserts his authority by remaining calm and seated and telling everyone else to sit down because they’re all perfectly safe.
Note how Hemlock is the only other person who remains seated throughout.
He looks more excited than scared as he sits forwards slightly, glancing at the reactions of the others in the room. Like he’s been waiting for this.
.
Saw and his colleagues exit the building without ever running into the rest of the Batch, so they can only report the presence of Hunter and Tech if questioned, but also have no idea if they just blew them up when they set off their explosives. But the Batch are already on their cable car reprise of ‘Infested but outdoors’ by the point Saw & Co are stealing the ship which could potentially turn out to be Hemlock’s shuttle if the tracker was put onto the wrong ship in the panic of not getting caught by the loading dock troopers.
When Hemlock’s shuttle lands it takes up the 3rd place in line. The viewing angle makes it impossible to tell if there’s an empty space at the far end for another shuttle to land in, but Tech refers to it as ‘docking lane 4’, so it’s a definite possibility. The shuttle Saw leaves in is 4th in line so could absolutely be the same ship.
Just because we see the beacon destroyed, doesn’t mean it was put onto the correct identical looking shuttle.
And if Saw has that shuttle, it can probably be tracked back to where it came from (since no one has enough sense to remember where Gregor was rescued from last season) and he’s still in contact with Rex even if he presumes the others didn’t make it.
.
Tarkin and Hemlock remain calmly seated while the explosions shake the room and light debris rains down. Tarkin has his thinking face on as he looks down and frowns, before looking straight ahead (to where Hemlock is sitting) and glares.
But then all the focus shifts away from this nasty little power play and we shift to the action sequence that’s designed to drive all of this from your minds because the Batch are at risk and Tech will fall and you’ll all be so caught up in your devastation that you’re not likely to be thinking about anything else for a good long while. Just like you’re meant to.
But I refuse to buy into their distraction technique as they try to convince me that someone who is central to the resolution of the end of this story is dead when that makes zero narrative sense.
But this isn’t about Tech, this is about Hemlock.

New crack headcanon, Dink acts like a silly lizard sometimes and is addicted to dark chocolate.
Crack fic idea: Four decides to use it to his advantage and they become besties and have a little trauma session while they do eachothers nails/claws.
My brain does weird things sometimes <3
Okay, I know you said Four, but my brain reversed it and I somehow ended up with a....uh...thing.
Sorry not sorry.
Dark Chocolate
”Dark chocolate is the best chocolate.” 
It was just an average evening around the fire and the heroes were resting after a long day spent trailing the Shadow. It was a colder night, so naturally Legend had been attempting to make them Ravio’s signature brew: hot cocoa. Generally, that was a good thing, generally that was a nice thing to do. Generally, a person who tried making cocoa had some conception of what they were doing and didn’t burn it. 
The heroes drank it anyway. 
Legend was sulking, because of course he would after trying so hard and failing (he never took failure well) and the rest of them were politely ignoring that fact by instead trying to enjoy the cocoa. After all, cocoa was not even existent in most of their worlds due to chocolate being, well, something that also didn’t exist. It was only in a precious few times that anyone understood what it was, so reasonably it startled quite a few of them when Four spoke up as they did. 
“Pardon?” Time queries, looking up from the mug he was using more as a hand warmer than actually drinking from. 
“Dark chocolate is the best chocolate.” Four declares again. 
From across camp, Legend emerges from his sulk in order to stare at the smithy in a way that is almost as disappointed as the other seems to be in himself. “Heathen.” 
“We knew that.” Hyrule snorts into his mug. 
Legend ignores his protégé. “Dark chocolate is disgusting.” 
“No it’s not!” 
“It is!” Legend counters, “It tastes like dirt!” 
“What dirt are you eating?” Four questions, “because kindly point me the way, I'll happily take a bite out of the ground.” 
They wouldn’t actually, Blue would probably have an aneurism if they made Four eat anything remotely close to being off the ground, especially the ground itself. That might be reason for Vio to want to do it even more, but fortunately Red was both strong willed enough to convince him not to and strong bodied enough to prevent the other from having done similar things in the past. 
“It’s chalky.” Legend repeats, glowering at them. “Even Ravio doesn’t like it and he likes coffee.” 
Across the fire, Warriors’ gaze flattens into something almost threatening. “Diss coffee and suffer, vet. Your existence rides on my having caffeine in the mornings.” 
The look exchanged between prince and knight is truly toxic, despite the fact the two had been seen wreaking havoc together only hours prior with the smaller on the taller’s shoulders. 
They’re just playing, they know better than to hurt each other seriously. Of course, they do hurt each other sometimes; Legend has bitten a few of them in the past for messing with him and kicks like a horse, and Warriors has tossed a few heavy punches himself that have left bruises for days. Despite that, there’s no doubt in the smithy’s shattered mind that the two won’t actually start a tussle over taste preferences, which he’s right about, for the most part. 
“Despite that,” Warriors at last relents, “I agree with Legend; dark chocolate is of the dark side.” 
The dark side, of course, being the side of the shadow and his minions, as well as Ganon and all other things evil.  
Shadow, being born of Ganon’s power and Vaati’s manipulations technically qualifies as being from the ‘dark side’, and Shadow was, originally, the one to introduce them to chocolate, so the captain’s thoughtless comment is, perhaps, actually true. Shadow’s preference was the darker and more bitter form of the treat after all, and Vio’s tastes had followed in kind, whether because he actually liked the stuff or because he wanted Shadow to think he did, he’s never admitted, but as a result the only sort Shadow ever brings them is the dark kind, so it’s all the colors have ever had until Legend started sharing his own stash with their group, and by now they’re too accustomed to the other sort to be able to enjoy the more creamer, sweeter, sort of thing. 
Of course, once the subject has been visited by their group, apropos of Four’s comment, they all have to share their thoughts on the matter.  
“I don’t like any sort of chocolate,” Twilight admits, “it makes me sick, but taste ways the dark stuff really is the worst.” 
“Agreed.” Time sounds, shaking his head and making a face, and by that of course it means he actually makes a face at the thought, not just grimaces. “Ravio had me try it once when I was small and I put ants in his dinner the day after in revenge.” 
“Jokes on you,” Legend snorts, “Ravio likes ants, he probably thought you were just being nice.” 
“Crap.” 
Wind giggles, but he nods the vet’s way in agreement with the others. “Yeah, Ravio had me try it too and it’s just...yeah, not my thing.” 
“Or mine.” Hyrule states, and no one questions why the traveler would know because everyone knows Ravio and Legend dote on the teen. The idea that they’ve made sure he’s tried the otherworldly treat in all its potentially tasteful forms is no surprise to anyone. 
Of course, that does leave them with only a little hope as they turn to the first and last of their number and hope, maybe just a bit too desperately for something that’s really rather trivial, that the two will have some modicum of sense. 
They are met with disappointment. 
“Not my cup of tea.” Sky agrees, shaking his head, and their last bit of hope drains away when Wild shakes his head in an echo, face pulled into a bitter expression as if the thought of the dark, sticky goodness truly disgusts him. 
“There’s no accounting for taste.” They sigh, and sip their cocoa as though to make that the final thought on the matter. And it is. Legend goes back to scowling at his cup for a moment before sparking into a round of what to anyone would sound like complaints about his room-mate but what the rest of them can tell quite well by now is truly just Legend chattering about Ravio because he can, and also, most likely, because he misses him. Warriors shares his own thoughts, and Wind and Time add to the matter with short anecdotes, and it really is quite pleasant to hear them discussing the dark world hero slash not-exactly-hero with such fondness. 
Still, Four really is a bit disappointed that their brothers lack taste, especially as it means that any chocolate anyone’s likely to score in the months until they finish this journey (because let’s face it, it’s been two months already and they’re still wandering about lost and clueless) is going to be the overly sweet sort. And that is most unfortunate, and definitely something they sulk just a bit over that night as they sit on watch. The others are all sleeping soundly, curled up in their usual twos and threes, With Wild and Twilight both having migrated in their sleep to be caught in their old man’s arms, Legend and Hyrule curled together like baby minish and Sky not far away, now left alone because Four’s been wakened to sit on watch. Wind, who’d been on watch before and had promptly drifted off the moment he’d lain down, is curled up on Warrior’s chest. 
And that leaves them. Four sits on the edge of camp, just finished with a preliminary parameter check, and they definitely do not sulk. 
They are still definitely not sulking about the others teaming up against them on top of having horrible taste when there’s a snapping sound not too far away, and when they look up, hand already drifting to their sword, they’re shocked, horrified and maybe just a bit (just a tiny bit mind) terrified when they see, of all things, the shadow itself standing not three meters away. 
Their hand flies instantly to their sword, a shout on their lips before the figure raises its hands in the all too universal (seriously, it’s universal across the universes) gesture of surrender. 
What the actual- 
Vio, if you say the word I think you’re going to say in front of Red, I will personally scrub our mouth out with soap. 
-heck? 
Nice save. 
Because this is the shadow. Not their shadow, but the one that almost killed Twilight and that’s been going after certain members of their chain specifically. The one that’s been the whole reason they’re here and that keeps trying to actually kill them and its- it’s alone, walking very slowly towards them, hands up, and honest to Hylia is actually just threw its weapon into the bushes yards away. 
What the actual fudge? 
Vio. 
The shadow, which looks terrifyingly like most of their brothers (the other heroes and not the facets of themself), stops after a moment. It’s eyes glimmer for a moment when it- 
He? 
Not to assume, but ‘he’ is far better than ‘it’ unless he chooses to tell us his pronouns, and ‘it’ is just offensive unless requested. 
They? 
Let’s go with that. 
-they look at them. Them specifically, not the group, not their sleeping brothers, but Four. 
“What do you want?” They ask the dark being. What they mean in the moment could be anything really: what does the shadow want with dragging them around through time? What do they want with the heroes specifically? What Four asks now is more centered of course on why the other being approaches camp, but they’ll take any answers they can get. 
The being smiles, their teeth the only part of them that seems to catch any of the light at all, save of course red eyes. “I have something for you.” 
“If it’s an offer of betrayal, been there, done that, I have my own shadow, thanks.” 
Can we really claim him like that? 
Yes. 
Are you su- 
He likes us claiming him, 
Alright then. 
The shadow smiles at them, and... oddly enough, the smile looks a lot like Time’s, and not the creepy sort of smile when the Old Man is making their lives miserable, no, it’s the almost affectionate look the elder hero casts on themself and the others when they are acting particularly boyish or messing around with each other. 
Good grief, what is going on? 
And that’s a question and a half, something that has the various facets of their mind scrambling until, unfortunately, they realize that the shadow has stopped even closer than it had been a moment before. 
Maybe it’s stupid of them, but they get up and move closer. Maybe that’s Vio, maybe it’s Vio because Vio really lacks any form of self-preservation and happens to be the one that knows how to get a shadow to listen to him. Not that they really think they could convince this shadow to join them like Vio had with their Shadow, but still. 
The dark entity watches them, face open and posture relaxed, weapon cast aside but really of no matter when they know full well that shadows don’t need weapons to kill people. Still, Vio or Red could probably handle any sort of attack by darkness, so while they are wary as the approach the thing, they aren’t entirely on edge. 
They smile again, the shadow, and then reach for- 
“I’m not getting a weapon.” 
-something behind themselves.  
Their hand tightens on the Four Sword as they watch, but just as promised the shadow does not produce a weapon, but rather a small bundle that’s offered to them. 
Naturally, despite Vio, they do not touch it. 
The shadow chuckles, a sound that would frankly be chilling were they not accustomed to their own Shadow’s evil cackles and laughter. “It’s chocolate. I heard you say you liked it.” 
Blue has to stop Vio swearing again in confusion. “What?” 
“It’s dark.” The being of darkness says, grinning, “which is the best sort. Darkness is always superior, and for agreeing so, you may have this.” 
Honestly, it’s like some sort of crazy delusion, but they take the bundle anyway. Granted, it could be poisoned, but for whatever reason they doubt so. Once it’s in their hands though, a hand, clawed despite its Hylain look, ruffles their hair briefly. 
And then the shadow is gone and Four is sitting there with a bundle full of sweet, rich, dark chocolate in their arms. 
“Well that was weird.” They declare to the world as a whole. 
The world as a whole does not respond.
