prompt 02: tim’s birthday present

Tim sat in his empty house at the empty dining table. The table was actually quite large; it had enough seats to sit at least 15 people. But there was just Tim there. 

His parents had promised and sworn up and down that they would come back in time for his birthday. He had everything planned out. He picked out the birthday cake, put on the candles, decorated, ordered his parents' favorite foods, his parents' favorite movie for movie night, popcorn the likes. But that morning, just when Tim was double checking to make sure everything was ready for the most perfect birthday ever, his parents had called to tell him that something really important had come up, and they wouldn’t be able to make it. Tim figured it was better than last year, at least they called this time. 

Tim stared down at the cake, the candles lit. He had heard online that people would make wishes on their birthday cake and blow it out. Tim thought that was a weird thing to do, but it wouldn’t hurt to try. 

What should he wish for? It would have to be something special that he doesn’t already have. Tim thought for a long moment, the candles bleeding into the frosting of the cake. 

A brother. 

Tim closed his eyes and put his hands together like he’s seen the other children to do in the cartoons. And Tim wished for a big brother. When he finally wished hard enough (whatever that meant) he opened his eyes and blew out what was left of the candles. 

Tim waited. What exactly was he supposed to do now? In the cartoons, everyone would celebrate and cheer and the birthday boy would open his presents. There wasn’t anyone to cheer for Tim, or any presents for him to open. 

Suddenly the house shook, and the loud sound of a crash sound came from the backyard. Quickly, Tim did the sensible thing and go check out what the noise was. That's what the characters always did in horror movies. 

In Tim’s backyard, there was what looked like a weird space ship that had crashed into his backyard. There wasn’t any fire or anything, but the spaceship looked pretty wrecked. Getting closer, Tim could vaguely make out that someone was inside the spaceship. Looking around, he saw what looked like maybe the handle. Tim couldn’t really tell. 

When Tim put his hand on it and tried to open it, something poked out mechanically and pricked his finger. He flinched back instinctively, caressing his finger tip.

“Recognized: Danny Fenton. System Override.” A robotic lady spoke. Who is Danny Fenton? As if to answer him, the space ship opened its hatch, and inside was an unconscious black haired teenager. “System Malfunctioning. Please Assis-” The robotic voice spoke again, before getting cut off as if the power had died. 

Suddenly, Tim remembered his wish. A big brother. 

This was Danny Fenton, and he was supposed to be Tim’s big brother

----

When Danny woke up, he found himself in a very soft plush something. Something that definitely wasn’t the Spector Speeder. Alarmed, he sat up quickly to find that he didn’t recognize where he was at all. He also didn’t recognize the weird kid that was staging at him from two feet away. 

“Hi, I’m Tim. Timothy Drake.” The boy introduced himself almost business like. 

“Uh, hi Tim.” Danny responded awkwardly. “You got any idea where I am?” Danny sat up properly, moving the blanket (?) off of him and turned to face the weird and kinda creepy kid. 

“You’re in Drake Manor. Which is where I live.” He answered again. 

“Ok…ay” Danny nodded thoughtfully. “Any idea how I got here?” Truthfully, Danny hadn’t really been expecting an answer, but he still got one. 

“Because I made a birthday wish to have a big brother.” He answered in the same way he had answered the other question, very matter-of-factly. 

“Ok- Wait. What?” Danny asked, doing a double take at Tim. 

“You’re supposed to be my big brother, right?” Tim was starting to look a little hesitant, and as weirded out as Danny felt he couldn’t help but feel bad about the whole situation. 

“Where are your parents, Tim?” 

“There not home, because they had really important things to do for work.” 

Danny nodded. “Do you know when they’ll be back?” 

Tim shook his head. “They were supposed to come back today, because it’s my birthday. But they said they couldn’t make it.” 

Well, shit. Didn’t that sound awfully like Danny’s birthdays before he had given up on his parents showing up. At least he had Jazz. This kid looked like he was alone. 

Not liking the silence, Tim started fidgeting again. “So, are you gonna be my brother, then?” 

And what was Danny supposed to say, No? Besides, if he was really causing problems being in this random universe, then Clockwork would figure it out. 

Bonus: 

Danny sat at Tim’s dinner table, the kid looking at him radiating in excitement, each with a plate of stupid expensive pasta in front of them. “You said your name was Tim, right?” Danny started thoughtfully. Tim nodded, drinking up everything Danny said. “Well, first course of action as you, big brother. I need to give you a nickname.” 

Tim’s eyes sparkled at the prospect. “Like what?”

Danny tapped his chin exaggeratedly, “Hm… Tim, Tim.” Turing the name around while he absentmindedly twirled his fork between his fingers, Danny wondered what he should come up with. Suddenly, in a misplaced strength, Danny’s fork flew out of his hand. 

Before Danny could even say anything, “I’ll get you a new one!” Tim offered quickly. Getting up from his chair, his foot got tangled behind the leg of the chair and Tim fell quietly on the floor with an oof. 

Danny laughed at him. “You okay, Timbers?” He asked, getting up to check on the boy. 

“Yeah, I like Timbers.” Tim said, a bright smile on his face despite the blossoming bruise on his arm.

A Shadow’s Tale — Chapter Five

Azriel x Pirate Female!Reader

CHAPTER FIVE

Word Count: +4,100

a/n: Gosh I'm terrible at keeping up with posting, I'm really sorry! I'll try not to take this long again! But a very steamy chapter is here, so enjoy! <3

Warnings: NSFW, Minor DNI, +18, mentions of scars, shadow play

You hated lies, and you never meant to deceive. The truth was a bitch and you weren’t sure if it was best known or kept locked away.  

But hearing Azriel’s words broke something within yourself you weren’t sure would ever heal. You heard his roar in the skies but you walked out of the town house and walked home. You quickly realized your mistake as you took in the tall building and the mocking 10,000 steps. 

You scoffed at yourself and turned around walking into town. Soon you reached a bar and walked in taking a seat and ordering a drink. You drank it quickly feeling the burn on your throat from the alcohol and ordered another one sipping on it. 

“I didn’t peg you for a drinker.” You turn toward the soft masculine voice and took in his familiar red hair. He had a few tiny braids that held his hair back on his left side while the rest cascaded over his right shoulder. His golden eye assessing you without so much of a head motion. He sported a small smile and you mimicked. 

“I didn’t peg you for small talk…” You murmured. 

“Lucien.” He said and you nodded. “I don’t think we ever got properly introduced.” He reached out his hands over the counter and you looked at it taking it slowly. 

“What does a member of the autumn court does on the Night Court?” 

“It’s complicated, what about you?” He grinned, “a pirate?” 

“It’s complicated,” you grinned back nursing your drink. 

“Fair,” He looked down on his drink pressing his thumb on the rim and you followed the movement “They don’t really make it easy for us estranged uh?” 

You chuckled softly, “Certainly not,” You took a deep breath “But tell me, what keeps you here?” 

“My mate,” he said softly and you heard the sadness in his voice. 

“Oh…” you exclaimed surprised, “Did she…” 

“No, she’s alive” He dismissed your dark thoughts, “Just in love with someone else…” 

“Oh…” You looked away from his face taking a deep breath, “I guess we’re both on the same boat then…” 

He looked at you frowning, “You have a mate?” 

“No… At least not that I know of… It’s just… This male I got sort of close to…” you shook your head chuckling, “I thought he was different, but I think I was just choosing to ignore what was right in front of me...” 

“I see…” He mumbled, “He’s a jerk.” You raised your brows at him questioning, “You seem like a good person, whoever that male is… He’s probably not worth it.” 

“Did she ever accept the bond?” You asked after a few minutes of silence. 

“No… I also never forced it, I guess the reason I’m still here is because I hope someday she will feel the way I do for her but… I think her judgment is too clouded for that…” 

“She sounds like a jerk,” he looked at you, the corners of his mouth turning up slowly. “You know, you are a great guy and all that.” You winked making him laugh throwing his head back and you joined. 

—

You ended up meeting with Bonnie at the inn your crew was staying at. Lucien had left for his apartment in the city after hugging you goodbye and wishing you good luck. You shared a bed with Bonnie and snuggled just like you had done so many times before when you were younger. 

“Are you ready for this?” She asked while you finished tying up your boots. 

“I don’t think I will ever be ready, but I guess I don’t really have a choice now, do I?” Bonnie put her hands on your shoulders making you look at her. 

“You will always have a choice.” 

“They need this to win the war, and I…” You took a deep breath shaking your head. 

“I know, but don’t let your business with the spymaster mess up your plans for Hybern.” 

“I want him dead.” 

“He will die.” Bonnie reassured you and you only nodded. 

Soon you, Bonnie and Sebastian were making your way to your ship. You told the rest of the crew to stay back. Rhysand might or might not know about your magic yet but you still wanted to show no threat. 

As soon as you arrived you saw Cassian, Rhysand, Feyre, Nesta and Amren waiting. No Azriel. And that fact made your heart ache a little more. 

You had spent most of the night awake thinking about what you had heard. The way his voice dropped with venom and hatred when he spoke about you. 

You had only caught part of the conversation when they started talking about you. But it had been enough to understand his feelings for you. Lust was all he had ever felt. Nothing else. Just another female who almost fell for his charm. 

“Shall we?” Rhysand nodded to you and you nodded back slightly. 

You walked in front with your friends as you stepped on the little boat that would drive you to your ship. Cassian, Rhysand and Feyre had flown in while Sebastian roamed the boat. Nesta had told them she would travel with you instead of flying and you gave her an appreciative nod. 

When you reached the side of the ship. Sebastian went up the side ladder rope first and then Bonnie, you helped Nesta before you went up after her. 

“Guide us,” Rhysand spoke simply and you approached him. 

“Before I take you to it… I wanted to say something” He only nodded, a silent permission to keep going, “I wanted to say thank you… I know I kind of came uninvited into your lives and haven’t been the most… grateful” 

“Is that all?” Rhysand voice sounded colder than usual and you nodded finally guiding them in to your cabin. 

You took the key that was in a chain around your neck and walked towards a cupboard at the end of the room. You could feel their eyes on your back. It opened with a click and you took a shuddering breath opening it wide. You felt it’s magic straight away. The dark power that coated the troves. Bonnie and Sebastian came closer and helped you taking them out: a sword, an harp and a mask. 

You handed them to Cassian, Rhysand and Nesta. You turned towards the cupboard again and used another key to open a tiny compartment in the back. You took out a book that made the magic running through your veins hum in response. 

Taking a deep breath you turned around and handed it over to Feyre who looked at it in confusion. 

“What is this?” 

“It’s how my father learned about magic while in Hybern… More specifically how to take our magic back.” There was no surprise in Rhysand’s face to the mention of your magic. He knew. Of course he did. 

Feyre however seemed like the only one who was surprised by this news. 

“Your magic? What…” she took a look at her mate, “you knew?” 

“Why tell us now? Why not sooner?” He asked, deliberately ignoring her question and I frowned at him. 

“I wasn’t sure… It’s not natural, what they did to me,” you spoke fighting your emotions, “I hate who I became because of it, I didn’t want this” 

“You came here wanting an alliance and then you lied,” He scoffed, “You said you weren’t sure you could trust us and yet… You were the one hiding things from us. Tell me now… how can I trust you?” 

You shook your head, “The troves… the book, I… I’m giving it to you…” 

“And they will be very useful, but you need to go.” He said firmly. 

“Rhys…” Feyre gasped. 

“You promised!” You said pointing a finger in his direction, he waved a hand making the troves vanish. You breaths became faster. 

“You also promised not to double cross me. I guess we both broke our words.” 

“Rhysand you can’t be serious.” Nesta spoke, arms crossed over her chest. “They didn’t do anything wrong.” 

“I’m not discussing this with you, Nesta.” Rhysand bit off gaining a low growl from Cassian which he ignored. “We are leaving now,” he turned to you, “I want you all gone off my city by tomorrow morning.” 

You were too stunned to speak. You could feel Rhysand’s dark power encasing your ship and then gone as he winnowed himself and the rest of them away. 

“I can’t believe he did that…” Bonnie broke the silence and you fell to your knees, hands on your face as you let the tears fall for a while. 

“I’ll go get our things back!” Sebastian spoke angrily and you held his arm. 

“No.” You simply said taking a seat by your desk, he stormed out pacing on the deck.

A few minutes and a lot of tears later you got up wiping your eyes with the back of you hand. “Where are you going?” Sebastian spoke.

“There’s someone I need to find before we leave.” You spoke firmly and left the ship.

—

You ventured yourself through the forest, your pace was fast and you kept replaying in your head the words you wanted to tell him. You weren’t sure where you were headed but something was pulling you in that direction so you followed your gut. 

The sun was almost setting when you finally found him. Perched on a rock with the hems of his pants pulled up and his bare feet in the freezing cold water of the river. Azriel’s back was on you, his shadows looked almost frantic surrounding him that you could’ve sworn you had heard them whispering incoherencies. 

You took some deep breaths before approaching him. You sat by him, he didn’t move or flinch or looked in your direction. He knew you were coming. His eyes were fixed on the running water that splashed his feet. His breathing was calm and steady. The anger you had sensed the day before no where to be seen. 

“You hate me.” You broke the silence. 

“I don’t hate you.” His voice was raspy like he hadn’t spoken in a while, he cleared his throat “I could never hate you.” 

“I heard what you said, how you truly feel about me.” He said nothing so you continued, “I’m leaving… Tomorrow morning.” His head snapped in your direction, his brows furrowed. 

“Why?” 

“Rhysand has the troves… He doesn’t need me anymore… I was,” you chuckled sadly, “dismissed.”

“What… No, you probably misheard him… He said he wouldn’t.” He was shaking his head. 

“He made it very clear… I guess I should’ve guarded my heart better,” you finally looked him in the eyes, “I trusted too easily, and all I got was heartbreak.” He did not speak, you took in his silence nodding. “I just wanted to say goodbye… I’m not sure why, but I actually liked you Shadowsinger…” you closed your eyes inhaling the cold air, “but even I am not stupid enough to try to claim an already claimed prize.” 

“What are you talking about?” He whispered and you just shook your head getting up and heading out the forest not turning back. 

Before you could leave the clearing you felt his hands on your arms holding you in place. His shadows swimming around you. Your breathing became shallow. 

“Don’t go…” He whispered in your ear making goosebumps rise in your arms. His mint and cherry scent overwhelming your senses. You closed your eyes trying to calm your racing heart. “Please.” He whispered again kissing the crook of your exposed neck. He was so close you could feel his body heat. 

“We can’t do this…” You turned around resting your forehead and hands on his chest. His heart was beating just as fast as yours. “You’re spoken for…” 

“I’m not—“ you looked him in the eyes. 

“You’re going to tell me you don’t love her?” 

“Who are you—“ 

“Elain,” you whispered quickly looking away and felt his posture become rigid under your hands, “Azriel… I don’t know what you two have, but I don’t want in on that mess…” He was very silent and still.

“What do you know about it?” His voice was suddenly low and cold. Nothing like the Azriel who had just been kissing your neck. His hands slid off your arms, the only point of contact was your hands still on his chest. 

“You love her.” He stepped back suddenly making you stumble back as well. 

“I don’t…” 

“Don’t do it Az.” Your jaw was clenched and you pointed a finger at him. “Don’t lie to my face like that.” 

“She has a mate.” You dropped your hand to your side. Your mouth gaped with realization. 

“Lucien…” You whispered looking around shaking your head. “You… Elain…” You took some steps back to create distance between you two and putting your hand to your forehead. 

“I know how it looks and sounds,” He talked low and you looked at him wide eyed. 

“Who is your mate Azriel?” You asked him suddenly and he gapped at you. He shook his head. “Who. Is. Your. Mate?” 

“I don’t know.” He was looking at his feet now, his hands on fists on his side. He didn’t look at you as he spoke. “I thought… Maybe the mother was wrong, three sisters and three brothers… But she is not mine, for all I know I don’t even have a mate. We would’ve crossed paths by now.” He looked at you now, “I thought…” he sucked in a shaky breath, he stepped closer. “I thought you were my mate when we first met on your ship… it had made sense for me, but… there’s nothing, no light, no thread, no bond… “ 

“So what? You were trying to take me to bed to prove that I wasn’t your mate?” You stayed a few feet away from him, “And where does Elain stand in all this? Did she know?” 

“She suspected after that night… But no, I never told anyone.” 

“Rhys?” 

“He doesn’t want me involved with you for political reasons and also…” 

“Because of my magic.” 

“Yes… We don’t know what you are still, we don’t understand.” 

“I showed you what I am…”

“I know, but…”

“And does it even matter?” 

“What?” 

“The bond… what would’ve happen if you were in fact my mate? Rhys would just order you not to be? Because he doesn’t like it? Like me?” 

“It’s not like that…” 

“Please enlighten me.” 

“If you were my mate,” He paused putting a hand to his face and moving it to his hair pushing it back. “If you were mine, no one would have anything to do with it.” 

“But I’m not…” 

“You’re not…” 

“Then why are you trying to kiss me Azriel?” You stepped closer and he mimicked you.

“Because you vex me,” Another step forward, “Because when you’re near I feel rage, and lust,” another step, his forehead on yours, his eyes were slits, “I have no self control when you laugh or when you talk or when you lose your breath when I’m close.” His arm wrapped around your waist making your body flush to his. “I wanna kiss you, since that day in the dungeons.” He licked his lips, you could feel his hot breath on your face, “I wanted to kiss you since you first looked me in the eyes, seeing the worst of me and my power and you didn’t coward,” His lips brushed yours very lightly now, “I wanted to shut your wicked little mouth, and even whip you because I knew that day that you’d enjoy it.” A little whimper left your mouth and not even a second later his mouth was on yours. An hunger you’ve never felt before. You wrapped your arms on his neck using your nails to scratch the nape pulling him closer to you. A clash of teeth and tongue, you let our soft moans and you could hear his own soft growls. 

He wanted you, mating bond or not. 

And Gods you wanted him. So badly. 

“I want you,” He whispered when you both stopped for oxygen. 

“I want you… too” you said in between breaths. 

“Come with me,” He was looking you in the eyes, pleading and your nod of approval was enough for him to take you from the ground wrapping your legs around his waist. His shadows wrapped around the both of you and you stopped feeling the breeze of the forest or the scent of pine. Instead you were suddenly in a dark room. His room, you quickly realized as you took in your surroundings. There wasn’t a lot of decoration but it was very him. A few books scattered by the side table and the king size bed neatly made. 

“Where are we?” You asked as he put you down although you could’ve guessed.

“My apartment,” he explained and you nodded looking from the bed to him, suddenly nervous. “We don’t have to,” he reassured you taking your face in his hands. 

“I want to.” You looked him in the eyes and then he was kissing you again, gentler this time, slower. He wrapped his tongue in yours in a slow and torturous dance as he walked you back towards the bed. The back of your knees soon hit it and he started kissing your neck while undoing your shirt, slowly sliding it off of you, first your shoulder, that he kissed once naked, followed by your breasts, which were still covered with your white laced bralette, he hummed in appreciation and kissed each nipple, now hardened, on top of the fabric making your moan softly. You put your hands in his hair as he kept descending. Kissing your belly and each of your scars murmuring praises as he did so. He ended up on his knees as he started taking first your boots off then your pants leaving your underwear on. 

He looked up through his lashes and you parted your lips at the beauty of this man on his knees for you. He gave you a smirk, clearly smelling your arousal mixed with his own. Your hands still played with his hair as he put his nose on top of your panties and sniffed. 

“Perfect,” He murmured and you bit your bottom lip holding in a moan. 

It took him only a fast movement to be on his feet and throwing you on his bed making you yelp. You were on your elbows as he made a show of taking his leathers off showing off his muscles and tattoos. Your eyes traced each rippled muscle and each swirl as if you could devour it. His shadows were still there, more frantic than you’ve ever seen them and you stared in awe.

“Like what you see?” He purred removing his pants. No undershorts, only the sheer size of him. You looked in his eyes, cheeks flushed, you swallowed hard before murmuring, “Very,” 

His grin was answer enough to let you know of his approval. He picked up his pants and took some sort of cloth out of his pocket. He grinned like a cat and then covered your eyes with the blind fold. 

“What…” 

“I want you to feel everything,” You were about to object when he added in a soft voice near your ear, “Trust me.” You only nodded.

He took hold of your ankles pulling you the edge of the bed. Spreading your legs wider he hoisted your legs on his shoulders leaving a trail of kisses from your ankle to your inner tight. He repeated the movement on your other leg making you whimper with desire. You couldn’t see him, and you suddenly understood why. The sensation of his hands, lips and tongue seemed ten times intensified. 

His nose caressed your center on top of your panties just like before, but this time he used his hand as well pressing on your clit making you moan loudly. 

“So wet and ready baby,” He purred and you swallowed hard, trying to controls your breaths. 

“Please,” You begged getting a soft bite on the fabric right above your bud making you close your legs around his head which made him chuckle softly. 

And as encouragement enough he put your underwear to the side licking you thoroughly. He made work of his tongue on your clit while he inserted two fingers inside you. His rhythm was slow and torturing, your moans were pleading, and he quickly ripped off the fabric making you gasp in surprise. 

The darkness created by the blind fold and the knowledge of this male working on you plus all the sensations on your pussy, made your back arch off the bed and you were coming in his mouth with a loud moan. He licked you clean while you tried to recover from the mind blowing orgasm.  

He removed the blind fold from your eyes and you sat up quickly kissing him hard. He held you by the neck kissing you back just as intently. You could feel the smile on his lips. 

“Let me…” You reach for his cock but he held your wrists quickly tying them above your head. 

“I’m not done with you just yet.” He said on a breathy moan and you swallowed looking into his hooded hazel eyes. 

His shadows circled around your waist and center, you felt their coolness, which felt great because you were on fire thanks to the male in front of you. 

“What are they doing?” Azriel only smiled sheepishly.

“I hope you like some shadow play.” You looked at him confused but your eyes widened as you felt two other shadows wrapping around your legs and holding them apart with a strength that definitely did not feel natural. 

Azriel got out of the bed and you looked at him expectantly. He stood back in all his glory and you took him in. His wings were flared a little and he looked absolutely dangerous and delicious. 

You saw him smirking as he also took you in appreciatively, then you felt it and almost came undone by it. You threw your head back whimpering as you felt his shadows working your nipples and clit. Their present almost ghostly, but their feel like feather light fingers. A flick on each nipple, and then they starting pumping in and out of you with lightness and speed. 

Your mouth was open in a silent moan as they worked you and held you in bed. You felt yourself getting lost in all these new sensations, your core pulsing so strongly you  were so close to a second orgasm.

“Don’t come,” Azriel voice boomed suddenly making you jerk your head up and finding his gaze. 

“Az…” You plead but he came closer to you and suddenly all the shadows recoiled making your gasp. 

“You’re so fucking mesmerizing,” He said lowly as he sat next to you pulling you into his lap so you were straddling him. “Did you like that baby?” 

“Yes,” You murmured and he held your chin up kissing you softly. 

“Would you like to do it again?” You nodded but he tsked, “Use your words love,”

“Yes.” 

“Do you want me to finish what they started?”

“Please.” 

He kissed you softly once more before sitting you up and aligning his cock with your pussy. He thrust in slowly making you hold on to him tightly. 

“I’d love to fuck you hard, but right now I just want to make love to you.” He whispered in your ear and your heart swelled with emotion. 

“I’d like that.”

And just like that you moved in sync with him, he distributed kisses on your chest and neck. Nibbled on your bottom lip and as you heard him trying to hold back you whispered. “Please Az, do what you need to.” And just like that he laid you in bed thrusting his dick more franticly making your body ache in such delicious ways that you didn’t notice your orgasm building up and exploding. He came apart right after you and put his forehead against yours breathing decompensated. 

“Beautiful,” He whispered smiling widely with his eyes closed. 

“Beautiful,” You agreed, a lonely tear falling on your cheek as he kissed it away. 

— 

You were gone the next morning. 

After spending the rest of the  night in Azriel’s arms, both spent and tired. It was just before dawn that you silently left. Tears staining your cheeks as you boarded your ship with you crew and sailed away from Velaris. 

“Y/N?” 

“Hmm?” You wiped away the tears and turned to look at a very worried Bonnie and Sebastian. 

“Where to, Captain?”

“South,” You turned facing the open ocean. “There’s a High Lord I have a visit to pay to.”

@neroushalvaus tagged me to answer some questions!

Three ships: Titanic and Vasa, forever and always... aaaand let's say the HMS St. George, because I've been thinking about the Strandningsmuseet in Denmark lately. It's such a cool place: a world-class shipwreck museum situated in a tiny village of about 300 people, right next to the coast where the ship was wrecked. I want to go back!

Also, because I like many ships, a bonus shout-out to the MS Kronprinsesse Märtha, whom I wish will make a comeback as a hotel ship one day. I miss her lots.

First ever ship: Vasa.

In the other sense of the word, I've never been much of a shipper, so I don't really know what counts here. I want to say something from Corpse Bride because it was the first fandom I was ever involved with online, but I can't remember taking any strong stance – like, Emily/Victor was more fun, but Victoria/Victor was cute and clearly meant to be, so how could you pick one over the other. Maybe Rose and Jack from Titanic – though I was always more passionate about the, uh, other sort of ship central to the story, I do remember reading some fic about them back in the day.

Last song: Belle from Notre Dame de Paris version integrale 2017. This album is my go-to whenever I want to listen to NDdP because it's the only full version of the show I own on CD.

Last film: I really haven't felt like watching films lately.

Currently reading: The Other Bennet Sister by Janice Hadlow. I've been working my way through the local library's collection of published Jane Austen fanfiction ever since I finished reading Austen's novels last year.

Currently consuming: Fredsted caramel chai latte, so much of it that my teeth will probably melt away entirely before it's time for my next dental appointment.

Currently craving: Nothing, for I have a cup of caramel chai latte here with me <3

Thanks for the tag! Not forwarding this time.

Summary: You help the Rebels destroy the Death Star.

Notes: Again, mixed feelings about the chapter. Would love how you guys feel about the events in it!

You stayed out in the forest once R2 and Luke left you, but you had moved closer so that you could watch everyone load the fighters. You were feeling lost and confused as you stood there. The wisp of darkness swirled inside of you. You could sense it and how much it wanted to take root in you. But you refused to let it, though you also weren’t doing anything to get rid of it.

“You’re not gearing up to fight?” Han questioned as he came toward you from the side.

You barely spared him a glance before focusing back on the scene in front of you. “It is no longer my fight,” you responded.

Han scoffed. “It’s not my fight, but it’s sure as hell yours.” You didn’t give him a response. He sighed. You could feel the tug-of-war inside of him. “I, uh, I’m sorry about the old man.”

“That old man was my husband, and he was the best of us.”

Han nodded. “I bet.” He glanced over at his ship, clearly thinking over something. “Chewie and I are getting ready to head out. You could come if you’d like.” 

You looked over at the Millennium Falcon. This could be your chance, to run away and never look back. It would be great, an actual fresh start. But you had made a promise to protect and watch over Luke and Leia.

“I can’t,” you said, looking away from the ship. “I made a promise. I have to protect Leia and Luke… I’m all they have left.”

Han was curious as to what you meant but didn’t push it. “Well, then, see you around kid.”

You rose an unimpressed eyebrow at him. “You know I’m older than you, right?”

He shrugged. “Does it matter?” He started walking backward, still keeping his eyes on you. “May the Force be with you, Y/N.”

You gave him a nod of goodbye before Han turned away and walked to his ship. Sighing, you looked back at the other ships in the hangar. Pilots and other crew members were rushing around, trying to prepare everything as fast as they could. Something inside of you began to pressure you into joining them. You hadn’t piloted anything in years, though you were sure it would be easy for you to pick up again. After seeing R2 and Luke load up, you went up to Leia.

“Do you have a free ship?” You asked.

Leia was surprised by your request. She figured that you were staying clear of the fight, as you had tried to stay clear of everyone since arriving at the base. 

“Uh, yes,” she responded. She pointed to one of the X-Wings across the hangar. “That one is free. What are you planning on doing?”

“Don’t know.” You headed toward it. “Call it, following my intuition.”

Leia sighed and muttered to herself, “that’s the Force, Auntie. The Force.” 

She watched as you got geared up, worried about you. You had changed in the ten years since she had last seen you, and it wasn’t necessarily for the better. It definitely didn’t help that you lost Obi-Wan today. A faint smile graced Leia’s lips as she remembered your and Obi-Wan’s wedding on the balcony on Alderaan. The smile quickly fell when she remembered that her home was no longer. She looked back at you and felt a strong impression: you were the Galaxy’s only hope and, right now, you were walking a fine line between the Light and Dark Sides. If you chose the Dark over the Light, the rebellion would be over and the Galaxy would be doomed forever.

Sighing, Leia met your eye. She shot you a small smile, which was reciprocated as you slipped a helmet on. You gave her a small salute, causing Leia to laugh lightly and do the same. She watched as you climbed into the fighter and checked the systems. Leia had never wished to have a stronger connection with the Force in her life thus far. But she had faith in you and that you wouldn’t let her down.

“All wings report in,” Red Leader commanded.

“Red Ten standing by.”

“Red Seven standing by.”

“Red Three stand by.”

“Red Six standing by.”

“Red Nine standing by.”

“Red Two standing by.”

“Red Eleven standing by.”

“Red Five standing by,” Luke responded.

“Red One standing by,” you added, flying up to join the formation.

“Y/N?” Luke was clearly surprised you had decided to join the squadron. 

“Nice of you to join us, General,” Red Leader said. “Should we follow your lead?”

“No,” you replied. “The squad’s all yours, Red Leader. I’m just here for backup.”

“Thank you, General. Lock S-foils in attack position.”

The group of X-Wing fighters moved in formation toward the battle station—the Death Star. The wings of the fighters unfolded and locked in the ‘X’ position.

“We’re passing through their magnetic field,” Red Leader told the group. “Hold tight! Switch your deflectors on. Double front!”

The fighters moved in formation closer to the Death Star. The closer you got to the station, the more you felt your anger and sadness grow. You took a deep inhale, followed by a slow exhale. Your trembling hands gripped the controls tightly. You needed to get yourself together.

“Look at the size of that thing!” One of the men exclaimed.

“Cut the chatter, Red Two,” Red Leader reprimanded. “Accelerate to attack speed. This is it, boys!” You cleared your throat loud enough to be heard over the headset. “Sorry, General.”

“Red Leader, this is Gold Leader,” another man said over the headset.

“I copy, Gold Leader.”

“We’re starting for the target shaft now.”

“We’re in position. I’m going to cut across the axis and try and draw their fire.”

You stayed put as you watched fighters peel off and dive toward the surface of the Death Star. You watched as guns on the surface of the battle station moved to aim at the oncoming X-Wing fighters. Laser bolts streaked through the starry sky. Commotion flooded your headset, making it almost impossible for you to concentrate. You flipped the communication line so that you were on your own. You continued to watch as X-Wings followed through with their attack course. 

It wasn’t too long later before Imperial TIE fighters were coming. You let out a small gasp when you felt the familiar Force presence of Darth Vader in one of the Imperial fighters. The anger inside you quickly grew.

“Hello, sister,” the robotic voice filled your ears.

Your teeth ground together in anger. “You have no right to call me that, Vader,” you growled. “Anakin Skywalker was my brother… And you killed him.”

“I can sense the anger building inside of you. The Council would be disappointed to see that their precious Palawan’s light is flickering out.”

The anger inside you merely grew at his words. “There is no more Council. No more Jedi. You helped see to that.”

“Yes…” Vader’s Imperial fighter came around to be lined up with your fighter, allowing you both to face each other. “I do suppose that Kenobi was the last true Jedi and now that he is gone—“

“I will kill you!” Hot tears of anger fell freely down your cheeks. “I will kill you for what you’ve done and all that you’ve taken from me!” 

“You can try… or you could join me. Join me in the Dark Side and together we can destroy the Emperor and rule the Galaxy.”

“I will never join you! I will never join the Dark Side!”

“I am afraid, dear sister, that you are well on your way there.”

You yelled out a growl as you aimed and fired at Vader’s fighter. He quickly maneuvered away from the fire and flew down to deal with the other X-Wings trying to take down the Death Star. You were unable to get yourself to move to help them for far too long. Eventually, the Force pulled you from your own mind, reminding you that you needed to fight. You flipped back to the group's communication line. 

“Can you see Red Five?” Red Leader called to everyone over the comms.

“Red Five?” You repeated. That was Luke. “Luke!” There was no immediate answer. “Luke, answer!”

“There’s a TIE fighter on my tail!” Luke responded. “I can’t shake him!”

You maneuvered your fighter to start heading toward the surface where Luke was. “I see you. I’m coming in.”

You flew down and got behind the TIE fighter, easily shooting it down.

“Thank you, Y/N,” Luke said.

“Red Leader,” Gold Leader called. “We’re starting our attack run.”

“I copy, Gold Leader,” Red Leader replied. “Move into position.”

You kept your fighter near Luke’s as you went after some of the close-by TIE fighters. You felt that with each TIE fighter that when down, two of your ships did.

“Red Group, this is Red Leader,” you heard over the headset. “Rendezvous at mark six point one.”

“This is Red Two. Flying toward you.”

“Red Three, standing by.”

“Red Leader, this is Base One. Keep half of your group out of range for the next run.”

“Copy, Base One,” Red Leader replied. “Luke, take Red Two and Three. Hold up here and wait for my signal to start your run. General, you take out as many TIE fighters as you can as I take the rest of the squad toward the trench.”

“Copy, Red Leader,” you responded.

The X-Wings moved as ordered as you got to taking some TIE fighters out. You kept trying to find Vader’s fighter but it seemed that he was purposefully hiding from you.

“I’m in range,” Red Leader informed everyone. “Target’s coming up! Just hold them off for a few seconds.”

You were preoccupied with other TIE fighters that you didn’t see Vader and his wingmen zooming down the trench. Before you knew it Red Leader, Red Ten, and Red Twelve were down, leaving you in charge. Since you had missed the briefing, you had to rely on the Force for guidance on what to do next.

“Luke,” you called over the comms, “get set to make your attack run.”

“Alright, General,” Luke replied. You grimaced at the way that sounded coming from him. “Biggs, Wedge,” he called for his friends, “let’s close it up. We’re going in. We’re going in full throttle.”

“Right with you, boss,” Red Two, or Biggs, responded. “Luke, at that speed will you be able to pull out in time?”

“It’ll be just like Beggar’s Canyon back home.”

“He will be fine,” you added. “His father was the best pilot in the Galaxy. Red Two, Red Three, stay back far enough to cover Luke. I will continue to take out as many of the TIE fighters as I can.” You quickly got busy doing what you said you were going to, all while listening over the headset.

“Copy that, General,” Red Three, or Wedge, responded. “My scope shows the tower, but I can’t see the exhaust port! Are you sure the computer can hit it?”

“Watch yourself!” Luke warned. “Increase speed full throttle!”

“What about the tower?”

“You worry about those fighters! I’ll worry about the tower!”

“I’m hit! I can’t stay with you.”

“Get clear, Wedge. You can’t do any more good back there!”

“Sorry!”

“Just get out of there Red Three!” You ordered as you took out another TIE fighter.

“Hurry, Luke!” Biggs urged. “They’re coming in much faster this time. I can’t hold them! Hurry up, Luke!”

There was a sudden explosion and you looked out of your window to see that Biggs was gone. You could feel the sudden burst of grief from Luke.

“Luke,” you called, “you need to focus on the task at hand.”

~~~

Inside Luke’s cockpit, he nodded even though you couldn’t see him. He continued charging down the trench. He lined up the yellow cross-hair lines of the targeting device’s screen. Luke startles when he hears your voice at the same time as another.

“Use the Force, Luke.” / “Use the Force, Luke.”

It was your voice and Obi-Wan’s. Luke looked up before looking back at the targeting device, having second thoughts.

“You can do this, Luke.” / “Let go, Luke.”

There it happened again. A grim determination swept across Luke’s face as he closed his eyes and began to mumble Obi-Wan’s training to himself.

“Luke, trust me.” / “Luke, trust me.”

Luke’s hand reached for the control panel and pressed a button, moving the targeting device away.

“Luke, you switched off your targeting computer,” someone from the base came over the headset. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing,” he responded. “I’m alright.”

“He’s got this Base,” you added.

Vader, coming behind Luke, shot laser fire at the X-Wing. A large burst of Vader’s laser fire engulfed R2. R2 made a high-pitched sound. Luke looked frantically back over his shoulder to see smoke billowing out of R2.

“I’ve lost R2!” Luke exclaimed.

~~~

“I’ve lost R2!” You heard Luke exclaim.

You ground your teeth together as you felt the anger surge up again. You knew that it was Vader who took out the little droid that was once so close to him. This just proved that Vader no longer had a heart. You used your anger to quickly take out most of the remaining TIE fighters. Before you could move down to the trench, the Millennium Flacon sped passed you and toward the trench. 

“Yahoo!” Han yelled over the comms.

Quickly, Han and Chewie took out the remaining TIE fighters. You had mixed feelings as you watched Vader’s ship spin out of control, heading into deep space.

“You’re all clear, kid,” Han said. “Now let’s blow this thing and go home!”

You watched with bated breath as Luke fires his laser torpedoes. They shoot toward the port and disappeared into the surface. You turned your ship around and raced out of range of the Death Star before it burst into a supernova-like explosion. 

“Great shot, kid!” Han congratulated. “That was one in a million.”

“Way to go, Luke,” you added with a proud smile. “Now let’s get out of here.”

~~~

You were quick to climb out of your starship and race toward Luke’s. Others were already gathering; laughing, cheering, and shouting.

“Luke!” You exclaimed before the two of you hugged.

“Luke! Y/N!” Leia shouted, rushing toward the two. She quickly joined the hug.

“Hey! Hey!” Han exclaimed as he raced toward the small group.

“I knew you’d come back!” Luke laughed as he and Han embraced, slapping each other on the back. “I just knew it!”

“Well, I wasn’t gonna let you get all the credit and take all the reward.”

“Hey, I knew there was more to you than money,” Leia teased as you and she joined the embrace.

Luke was laughing as he looked back toward the ship. “Oh, no,” he quickly turned solemn.

You turned to see a fried R2D2 being lowered from the ship. “R2!” You exclaimed, coming to kneel beside the droid.

“Oh, my! R2!” C3PO exclaimed, joining you at the little droid’s side. “Can you hear me? Say something!” He looked to the mechanic. “You can repair him, can’t you?”

“We’ll get to work on him right away,” the mechanic promised.

“You must repair him! Sir, if any of my circuits or gears will help, I’ll gladly donate them.”

“He’ll be alright,” Luke tried to comfort 3PO as he helped you back up to your feet. “Thank you.”

“For what?” You questioned.

“For your guidance. Both you and Ben.”

“Ben? What do you mean by that?”

“I heard his voice while I was up there. You were both guiding me.”

You hated how easily you became jealous by what Luke just told you. Not even phased, Luke turned to the others and, with arms around each other, they began to walk away. Han glanced back, realizing you weren’t with them.

“You coming, kid?” He questioned.

You slowly nodded. “I’ll be right there,” you answered.

A brief flash of concern—barely noticeable—went over Han’s eyes before he continued on with the others. You stayed still in your spot as the crowd followed the other heroes. 

Obi-Wan had spoken to Luke but not you? You had tried to reach out to him and yet you had received nothing. That, though, was all too common with you and the Force. It never gave you anything in return despite you having given the Force everything.

Clenching your hands into fists, your arms began to angrily shake. You clenched your eyes as a headache started forming. When you opened them again, they were a bright shade of gold.

My Thoughts on TDI Reboot Season 2 (now that I’ve watched the whole thing) (spoilers below)

Short answer: It got progressively worse once merge hit. It started off with some interesting plots and relationships. But then it chose to focus on one of those ships, have the show and the strategies revolve around it, and not end their story until the very last second. When I thought it couldn’t get worse, it did. The writers kept choosing to prioritize characters that had WAY TOO MUCH SCREENTIME ALREADY. And that caused me to root for their downfall not because they were running the game and needed to be defeated cause they’re evil or whatever. But because I was getting sick of seeing/hearing them and didn’t want them to win. The season did end on a good-ish note and I do like the winner. But the ending would’ve been better if the winner had more of an impact on the plot/strategy.

Long answer hooo boy uh

Let’s go from what I have the least thoughts on to what I have the most thoughts on

Chase I’m 100% okay with the placement of. I didn’t want him to stay for long. But I also didn’t want him to be the first boot in case he had any funny left in him. As horrible of a person as he is, I preferred his slapstick and douchbaggery over Scary Girl’s dark humor. Speaking of-

-Scary Girl I wished wasn’t bluffing when she said she would make everyone pay. I thought for sure she was going to come back. ESPECIALLY in the final four challenge. I thought she was gonna reappear as a helper hired by Chris to make things scarier. Or that she would hijack the challenge and make things more deadly than Chris planned. If there is a season three, I hope she gets some kinda revenge.

Millie served her purpose and I liked the story that was told with her. She didn’t commit to practicing/training and she paid for it. She lost the trust of her team and her friends. She was forgiven by Damien, the specific person she wronged, and got out before the story could devolve into something similar to Gwen and Courtney in All Stars. My one wish is that Priya would’ve thought about her bestie more once she was gone.

Nichelle I was surprisingly alright with. Compared to everyone else at least. Good for her for training and being good at stunts now. The “in your face Hollywood” bits did get annoying. I had a hunch she wouldn’t last long. She was all challenge beast no social gamer. And I was kinda right? Her quitting in the team phase meant that she wasn’t whining/being a hypocrite for long. She somehow became my love to hate character of this season. You go girl!

I’m still so confused how Zee got out over Caleb. Like, I can get why Damien would vote Zee. He exposed not just his underwear secret but his Wizard Squire secret. But what about everyone else? Zee’s as non-threatening as Wayne and as sweet as season 1 Priya. Why get the chill nice guy out before CALEB THE BUFF “ALEJANDRO” (in quotes because he was mistaken as being such)

Emma is the most underused character this season. Out of all the team phase boots, hers was the most upsetting. I wanted her to last long without Chase. I wanted her to make new friends. I wanted some kind of acknowledgment of her friendship with Bowie. But what we got was…her trying in a challenge and failing because apparently not knowing how people answer random questions proves she’s not a good person??? She had so much potential and she was booted in such a lame way…

Bowie’s arc I liked a lot even if it was a bit flawed. I knew he wasn’t gonna go too far. And I knew he’d be in hot water from the start since he was the villain that made it the furthest. I think the cheating arc was great development for him. He’s known for being competitive and doing what it takes to win. But then he finds out Raj doesn’t like cheating. And he feels guilty by the end because he made his bf upset. I’m glad Bowie is shown to have a heart while still wanting to play the game. The problem I have is how suddenly the cheating arc ended. And how Bowie of all the cheaters paid the most for it. That early merge screwed him over. And everyone believing Julia about Bowie being the cheating mastermind…little did I know that was a red flag for a finalist’s plot armor.

Ripper and Axel, I wished there was more substance with you two. How they got together was cute and silly. I like how they bond over artsy things and stopped being as mean to people. But holy shit. Why did they have to be the comic relief couple? You can’t do this to me. You can’t just casually hint that Ripper has a bad family life in season 1 and not bring that back up to make Axel fall for him harder. You can’t just take a kickass survival girl and turn her into a sappy, swooning mess. You had good characters and then you turned them into THAT. If we get a season 3 please put them on separate teams and have them develop AS PEOPLE NOT AS GAGS

Damien wins the award for the BIGGEST ROBBERY OF THE SHOW. Literally. Of his idol. And he couldn’t have even gotten out in a more dignified way. He was gone for half the challenge after we only get a speck of a rivalry between him and Julia. And then his idol is stolen OFFSCREEN. And then he’s flown off kicking and screaming. If that was supposed to be funny, it’s not. Every time this dude tries to be a hero, everything blows up in his face. Which sucks. Because that means this season he spent more time being afraid and less time being the cool dork I loved back in season one. Episode 6 was his best episode. He won because he tried and he showed off his love for LARPing. That’s the Damien I was waiting for. If anyone deserves a run back in another season, it’s Damien.

MK is the character this season that I can confidently say improved and ended on a high note. Last season I actually didn’t like her. She got away with badmouthing Nichelle in ep 3 and only got out in ep 6 because of toilet humor. As much as I like snarky characters like Noah, I also like when they get comeuppance for their snark. And MK didn’t get much of that. But in season 2? Oh this girl fucking SHINED WITH HER GLOWUP. She let bygones be bygones with Julia. They teamed up and became the best evil duo ever. The way they quip and scheme and enable each others’ horrible actions I ATE THAT UP. But let’s focus back on just MK. She was the one who took charge in the cheating schemes. And she finally got karma through the funniest beat down ever. A boxing bear that gave her drain bamage. And after that, she got more moments to shine on her own. She tried carrying her team in the baking challenge and failed. She struggled with the giant coin only to hit the ground running with her gamer moves. And her last hurrah was her hijacking a car and hugging her bestie (they’re more than besties your honor). As sad as I was that she didn’t get to the finale, I was happy with what I got. It’s not everyday a character I don’t like becomes one I adore.

Wayne and Raj I’m the most conflicted on. But I think the best way to describe them is with a comparison Bowie made: “like puppies: not the smartest, but adorable!” Negative out of the way first: they were not nearly as strategic as I hoped they’d be. First ep gave me hope when they were talking about their teammates’ stats/highlights from the challenge. And then you cut to their last elim together and they decided who to vote with a FUCKING COINFLIP. Boys. Please. You should know that keeping strong players in weakens your chance at the cup. Benching the MVPs of the opposition is the way to go. Not to mention the only time they won was because Julia had baking skills. I wanted Raj to win so bad. He was the smarter bro who had more of an impact on the cheating plot. But if he had to get booted for being the more threatening bro…somehow 5th is the worst placement. He could’ve lasted to the final four, make it seem like there’ll be a friendship finale, and then Julia ruins it with the immunity idol. He could’ve been 7th to give Wayne more time on his own. And Wayne on his own is…oh my god he’s so dumb. Raj needs to spell things out for him. He took so long to realize that Julia was using him. And he won with his dumb luck. I should be mad that he won when he didn’t do anything substantial for the plot, but…I can’t stay mad at these hockey puppies. They’re sweethearts. They believe in playing fair and friendship and gay love. They were the light at the end of the drama tunnel. And Raj’s elimination made me tear up. Both because I was sad his run was over and because I was happy he ended with the sweetest final words ever. And Wayne using the money to buy a bus for the Snow Owls? Hoot hoot!

And now for the big ones. The ones I had the most problems with. The ones I was the most disappointed in. Julia. Caleb. Priya. Oh my god what did they do to you three? The pieces were all there. You all were great at the start. Julia coming back and being the main villain all the way through? That could be neat. If anyone could do it I can see it being her. Probably gonna blow up in her face though. Wait she’s working with MK? Oh this’ll be fun. Caleb coming back and planning to get far by allying with season one’s winner? That’s gonna blow up in his face for sure isn’t it? Wait, he actually likes her? Aw that’s so sweet. Priya coming back to win because her parents still aren’t satisfied? She has to realize how horrible her parents are and have that be her main story right?? Holy shit they got worse with each episode. Their plot armor was more sturdy than the confessional. How the fuck did the other contestants let them GET SO FAR LIKE HELLO I thought for sure Julia was gonna take the fall and leave MK staggering. Julia lied several times and got away with it. And this was after she willingly told the opposing team that she got out their challenge beast with a fake contract. How did Axel and Damien and Zee trust her about the lie about Bowie masterminding the intern disguise cheating? How did Caleb and Priya just take her advice with love when she’s one of the most heartless contestants on the island? In fact, Julia getting MK out by making MK look worse for making up horrible things about her bestie? Honestly, you could’ve reversed the roles and it would’ve made sense. Julia lied so much that her finally losing to her lies about her closest ally would’ve been insanely bittersweet justice. I wanted to root for Julia. I love villains. I love manipulative villains who have little to no room in their heart for anything other than themselves. I love characters I love to hate. And yet somehow her immunity running last season seems less bullshit than all the lying and backstabbing she did this season. But this butchering is two-fold. I liked her when she was cheating and scheming with MK. I liked when she was doing good in challenges. What I didn’t like was when Caleb and Priya were there to let her get away with the shit she pulled in the second half of merge. Yknow. Caleb: the guy who wanted to redeem himself. And Priya: the girl who literally trained since she was born for this specific show. I swear, I want to like them as a couple. I genuinely think they were sweet and had chemistry at first. When they looked for the idol in ep 6, that opened my eyes. They had similar upbringings with demanding parents. They liked each other for each other. There was hope that they would end well. But AAAAGGH. THEY KEPT FUMBLING. AND ARGUING. AND BEING DOORMATS FOR JULIA TO STEP ON. AND COPING AND SEETHING. I couldn’t stand either of them anymore. They were the heroes and I was rooting for both their downfalls. Why did they have to be the puppets that Julia made dance ALL THE TIME as soon as they were the only couple left? Why did the show have to revolve around Prileb relationship drama? They could’ve swapped Priya and Damien’s placements. Have some Prileb drama and end it once they get better. Have Julia have an actual rival who can see through her. But noooooo. I’m supposed to be shocked or happy or feeling SOMETHING when Julia pulled out the idol and got out Priya and placed 4th. But I felt nothing. I saw it coming from a mile away ever since Damien didn’t get his marshmallow. I was too tired of Priya’s on again off again relationship with Caleb to even feel relief that she didn’t get to the finale again. Even in the finale as a helper, I couldn’t stand her. She wasn’t the spunky cheerleader she was for Millie. She was so pushy and driven by vengeance that she couldn’t even give Caleb any little victories in the race. How am I supposed to be happy that they stayed together in the end if it turned Priya into a worse version of herself?

So, what do I think of this season as a whole? I loved and hated it so much that it evens out to be a mid season. Which is a shame. The team phase gave me hope that this season would be the best. But with the constantly weird and bad directions the plot went, it’s hard for me to be satisfied with what we got as a whole…

…But to end on a good note, I think my dissatisfaction with this season stems from how amazing this reboot cast is. How much potential each of them have for funny jokes and serious character growth. How much I wanted each of them to develop and shine and mesh together. I guess that’s what making fan content is for, huh? If the show can’t give these characters the proper treatment they deserve, then we can draw and write and headcannon all we want. And that’s not to take away from the show. It’s to express how much we love it and want it to thrive.

Well, it was a bumpy road to get here. But I’m here. I love Total Drama. Flaws and all. And I can’t wait for this love to manifest into more art. So whoever you are reading this, thank you for putting up with this novel of a review <3

Finished watching hazbin hotel and uh

Spoilers under cut plz don't come for me, I did enjoy the show.

Written at 3am not proofread or edited

While I did enjoy it, it was hard to actually feel any sort of attachment to the characters. I'll do research in a bit since I heard that Amazon Prime only gave them a limited amount of episodes to work with, but regardless, the pace was way too fast. I didn't even realize five months passed because it felt like it was only a week after Charlie's meeting with Adam.

Almost little to no showing of Angel Dust's and Sir Pentious' character development. Angel dust was more focused on, which makes since since he's the original resident of the hotel, the original sinner who agreed to the Hazbin Hotel project.

Yet it was Sir Pentious who got sent to heaven? Don't get me wrong, I think it's great he got sent there, however, in a narrative sense, it doesn't make sense. Throughout the episodes it was indeed that he wasn't a 'bad' guy, more so socially awkward who wanted a place in Hell but couldn't get one. But tell me, was a single episode, not including the last one, that Sir Pentious was the center of attention? Aside from being caught as a spy for Vox?

Aside from the episode where Charlie and Vaggie went to heaven for a meeting and they were watching ANGEL DUST? It was shown he had a crush on Cherri sure, that he was trying his best to get her attention/hook up with her but like... That didn't show me much about his character.

Just that he's a socially awkward shy mess around his crush is understandable, I was like that too. But that's it. Aside from the scene he got dragged into the 'sex room' after announcing he was going to have sex with everyone in the club/bar.

Keep in mind that this ep was supposed to be centering around Angel Dust back in Hell while heaven watched.

And yes, I know it was shown he would die for his friends but to me that barely says anything about a character at all. Just that they care about their friends which is usually the case for many people.

Imo, there was absolutely no hinting at Sir Pentious going to heaven. The series barely focused on him at all, even his eggs/minions were given more attention with Alastor.

Which, btw, are adorable and I wish they were shown more and interacted with the other characters more as well.

Enough about Sir Pentious - now let's talk about the Husk x Angel Dust ship

I like the idea, I can see it happening, and I'm so glad Vizipop didn't immediately get them together, if they are end game. I heard the Twitter said they were but I haven't looked at it yet so I'm not sure if it's true or not. But God, I wish we got more interactions between them. The chemistry is there, both platonic if they aren't meant to be a couple, and romantic if they are.

Niffty - I love you my little bug obsessed queen. But, while it was slightly amusing she was the one who killed Adam, it was also slightly... Disappointing? Like, all of this man power used against him and what killed him was Niffty? Obviously it was to take the audience by surprise, but it doesn't sit right with me. It held no substance - literally just Vizipop going "they'll never expect this!!" And that's it. Just to catch us off guard and was slightly taken as a joke before Lute went to him where the scene became serious again. Which would have been heart touching if their relationship was more drawn out. Show don't tell type of stuff. Which it was but not much.

Also, I did see a post that I'll most likely add here that said Adam most likely felt betrayed by the humans who sinned because he did so much for them as the original human, as shown by the line "ungrateful losers." Which makes sense and I kinda hope that is the case because he does seem very bitter towards the sinners who are, in some regard, still his people - they were still human, at some point. I really hope that they'll be able to show us in detail about how Adam was as a person rather than the Angel and original human known as 'Adam.' His character wasn't deep and it felt more like Vizipop needed a villain to shit on more than anything else.

The reveal about Vaggie being a former Exorcist was foreseen by many, meanwhile i thought she was the daughter of carmilla carmine because they look similar + implied military like background before the reveal + the duet they had when Carmilla was talking to Zetial and Vaggie singing about how she wants to protect Charlie or something. Ig they had the 'duet' because they were both about protecting someone. But I do like how Carmilla was like "bro it's so obvious you're a former Exorcist - the eye, the fucking angelic weapon you have there."

What I didn't like about the reveal was how Charlie just... Hated the fact she lied? I think anyone would be upset about that, I would be, but that's just it. She's just upset she lied which again, makes sense. But Vaggie killed her people, Adam even said she was one of his best girls. Meaning she probably killed hundreds if not more - and charlie wasn't upset about that part? She did question if their relationship was a lie, which makes sense, but the genocide of her people, the one that her gf took part in, wasn't mentioned after it was first revealed to her. That part was literally just... Thrown out the window. And on multiple occasions it was both shown and told that Charile, the princess of hell, loved her people. But it looked like the team/Vizipop decided to forget that part when it comes to the big reveal that Vaggie was an angel or whatever you want to call her.

I do like how In the end, the audience is reminded that Alastor is not a good guy. He's a horrible person, treating Husk like a pet and most likely only lets Niffy do as she pleases because he finds it amusing. Either that or they have a lot in common, and I do mean a lot. I wish this relationship between the three was shown more, developed more. But if I must add... Some scenes with Alastor... Truly felt like a Tumblr moment. Fan fiction. BUT I adore how at the end he's weak compared to some and that his deal is most likely the only reason he has any power at all. The mini break down he has? Beautiful. Prior to this he was shown and told to be this all powerful being until Zetal stepped into the ring, until Adam fucking bodied him which I love. He's a coward, he's awful, he's horrible but is shown to be able to feel attachment - I don't think he truly cares for the hotel staff. There might be a fondness but no real connection which is shown, thankfully instead of it just being told.

Then there's the discourse of his usage of Voodoo... I'm not properly educated in the practice so I have no right to comment on it.

Lucifer... My dorky little man... Beyond depressed just like me /j

I like him, love him even. But I was hoping he would be a bit more... Sinister. Instead he's a broken man who gave up on nearly everything but his daughter. Which I kinda like but also don't - it's a love hate relationship. But he's adorable so he gets a pass

Okay. I'm going to be the one who says it - I don't like Charlie's and Lucifer's demonic forms. They look nice, sure, but not king and princess of hell -like. It gives off Tumblr girl vibes which is fine. But I still don't like it. Literally uwu human cats. Which is adorable but adorable does not fit well with... Whatever this is. I wish it was more... Animalistic, barred fangs, skin stretching out, more like a demon you would typically imagine.

Also, while I do understand why Charlie didn't want to kill Adam it was... Bleh. Like girl, you already killer many of his Soilders why would you let their leader live? Idk maybe I'm thinking about it in the wrong way.

The three Vees/V's.. All horrible as ppl, especially Vlatoino, the other two as just as bad since they know what's going on and are either ignoring it or encouraging it. Vox is a slaty ex and Velveet(?) Is just trying to vibe but the other two won't let her.

Again, ironic considering what I write. As I always say - I don't condone any sort of abuse, sexual or otherwise, in real life.

Also did Lucifer sleep with Eve?

Why did Vizipop say him and Lilith were HAPPILY married when she's on a beach sun tanning in heaven and he's always 5 seconds away from jumping off the nearest building?

So many questions that will hopefully get answered in the 2nd season. And hopefully they'll be able to flesh out the characters and their backgrounds more, their personalities and how they either improve or decline as a person/character.

I have more to say but it's 3am and I'm pretty sure this is gonna get me death threats because hey, it's the internet. Just look at Twitter lol.

Please remember that I am not a film critic, I am just stating how I feel about it.

I watched it, enjoyed it, but still have icks about certain things with it, as anyone else would. Would I watch season 2? Yes, because I like the overall concept but I just wish they were able to do more with it.

I had someone ask if I would write for it, and honestly, I don't know. Maybe, maybe not, only time will tell.

Love? Useless. 

A/N: Hi. Thanks to @hideing for discussing this interesting post with me. HEHEHEHEHEH. (That was a cackle of evil laughter just for reference if you’re like me and like making up sounds in your head).

Also…..SURPRISE SURPRISE I’M ALIVE!!! I know i haven’t been posting I was just taking a break cause I was very exhausted from the year and it’s finally the holidays.

Warning: Angst. Cause why not. Azriel being an ass. Cause why not.

Ships: Uh- Figure it out on your own? Hehe

Summary: Rejection is always painful, especially if it is received multiple times.

One shots + imagines masterlist

~*~*~*~*~

Y/N Archeron was no fool.

No she was calculative and manipulative. Unlike her gentle and sharped tongued older sisters, or her strong headed twin, she was the cruelest of the four. She was death incarnate. Some in her village trembled as she walked, even when she was human the forest was silent around her as if holding it’s breath, before sighing as she left.

They were right to be afraid for when she was dipped into that cauldron it was not true Fae that came out. No she became something else entirely. She became death.

Death that was shoved into a mold, somewhere that didn’t belong. Her Fae body kept the overwhelming powers at bay but when she changed into the darker side, shed her skin to take on something else entirely, she was a monster.

But there was one who was not afraid. Her mate.

For beneath the frightful mask, was a maiden as gentle and as kind. For Y/N longed to be loved for someone who was not simply attracted to her by looks and powers but because of who she was. Thus, the most unlikely pair became friends. Shadow and death. The shadow singer had always caught her eye and how she delighted in the fact that he never strayed from her. Even in her beast form he remained calm, always trusting her to never hurt him.

~*~*~*~*~

Elain was seen as the gentlest of the Archeron sisters.

For as nature welcomed her with open arms, what lay beneath her skin was not the heart of gold, but darkness. For Elain would truly do anything if it meant protecting her family, or receiving what she wished.

She refused to care for the opinions of others. Though she made it seem as though that was her only plight. She schemed and gambled, won some and lost some which was how she was grifted her foresight. For if she could only see how it ended, she no longer needed to scheme. She only needed a plan, and a change in the sand.

As the future is not set in stone, but set in the palm of her hand.

~*~*~*~*~

And so the two sisters were loved and hated.

Each looked out for the other. Strengths and weakness and all. For they understood the worth of family, and understood the value of the other.

But don’t be mistaken. It was not love that tied them together. It was blood. For the secrets they shared, and the sins confessed were not because of any feelings they had. As the two sisters changed history together, they were only mutual benefits. For their only reason not to harm each other, was because of their everlasting bond. One that could not be broken by neither god nor saviour, but betrayal.

~*~*~*~*~

And so the three had their tale.

For once as they all parted at the end.

For one found a new love.

Another was cast aside.

And the last was all alone again.

For as the shadow singer realised that he signed a sentence that would change the rest of his life. It had already been too late as he saw the consequences of his actions.

And the two sisters learnt one final lesson.

Love was useless.

~*~*~*~*~

A/N: this is more of an idea hahahah hope you guys like it ❤️

[shitpostingkats]

tumblr user shitpostingkats. talk to me about yuki judai and my best friend crow 5ds

*does a snappy salute* Absolutely!

Jaden Yuki/Yuki Judai

How I feel about this character: My monstrous little card game fella who I love SO much. Came into my house and kicked me in the ribs by being the actual textbook example of the "Aw! What a silly little guy!" to "He's a little bit fucked up actually" pipeline. I love how absolutely insane and messy he's allowed to be for a main character, not only did most of his arcs hit FAR too close to home, but it's just such a good example of how to take the archetypal plucky protag and deconstruct it a bit to add layers to the character. My second favorite yugioh character of all time, if I'm being subjective, my #1 fave if I'm being objective. Levels of queer neurodivergent swag I aspire to match.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: I just can't deny Jaden his funky southern rock boyf. I read him as somewhere on the ace spectrum, in a QPR with Jesse/Johan that all their friends assume is a traditional romantic relationship. Also, Yusei Fudo, because I am a sucker for narrative parallels, celestial imagery, stupid aces with the social skills of a tennis shoe.

My non-romantic otp for this character: I think he and Chazz have this relationship where Chazz gets up in the night, goes down to his kitchen, flips on the lights, and Jaden is just there eating his cereal. They are BEST FRIENDS and Chazz will not admit this even if you put a gun to his head.

My unpopular opinion about this character: Man, I wish we'd gotten more time with Yubel, but I never really got the feeling that Jaden felt any strong romantic/partner emotions towards them. Him choosing to fuse with Yubel is less a "And I will now give up everything for you, my One True Soulmate", and more just a simple acknowledgement of "You've been hurt really horribly because of me, so I'm offering you kindness and accepting responsibility for our relationship, because you don't deserve to be in pain" Which, personally, I think is a lot more impactful and fulfilling of his personal arc.

One thing I wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon: I kinda wish he hadn't actually graduated high school? I mean, obviously they would never do that, but I remember watching the final season and thinking "Yeah, there's no way he's going to graduate." Idk, he's just got Highschool Dropout energy to me and I almost wanted to see that. Let him fail out of school because he was too busy sorting out his mental health! That's very valid of him!

Crow Hogan

How I feel about this character: Trans king! I look at one picture of Crow and my brain just maxes out "Trans! Bird! Guy!" He commits crime. He has five kids. He literally named himself after a yugioh card. There's just so much good big bro energy in this funky dude. I would trust him with my life.

All the people I ship romantically with this character: Uh, probably no one? There's not really any named character in the series I feel he had romantic chemistry with. He and Broder probably dated for a bit then broke up and remained friends.

My non-romantic otp for this character: The first ep. he was introduced and we actually see Yusei smile for almost the first time all series and duel and have fun with it, the big hug and the way each others face lights up when they see each other for the first time in years. Your honor, they are very important.

My unpopular opinion about this character: He's older than Yusei. Yeah I don't care what canon says, Yusei is the family Babey and Crow is a full six months older than him.

One thing I wish would happen/had happened with this character in canon: Some more exploration on what Crow gaining his signer mark actually meant to him. Did he feel like a replacement? What exactly did it mean to him that the tail mark jumped to him just so the head could move to Yusei? He's kind of the only one who doesn't get a whole plotline on how they feel about being a signer, so I always feel like there's some untapped potential for an arc there.

Undertale: ECLIPSE

Ok so, this one is hard for me to explain So, a while ago i had plans on making an original au for the first time, and i mean an actual original au, not an au like what Decadent Society was. No, i really wanted to try and make something on my own, but after trying to work down on some concepts i just, i don't know, couldn't exactly bring myself to work on it anymore, maybe because i had lost interest on it, or because my courage to make aus was already dying out, i can't exactly tell. But oh well, i'm grateful to at least be able to release the little bit i've managed to make while i was at it

The concept for Undertale: Eclipse is simple There was a world that spinned on normally, it kept on spinning and spinning until one day, the world simply began to slowly stop, halting it's movement after 7 harsh years, leaving one side of the earth in the light, while the other was fated to remaing forever in the dark. In that world, there was 2 races, the humans, and the monsters, and after the incident happened that they dubbed the "The creation of the Dark side", they both began to fight on who would be able to stay on the light, while who would be cursed to stay among the dangerous shadows, and after years of war, the humans were left in victory as soon, they would banish the monsters to the dark side of earth, allowing the humans to comfortably reside in the side that remained with still a bit of light. Years would pass, but the monsters would not end up going extinct by living in such a harsh environment. In fact, they began to learn how to live in the darkness, their magic shaped itself to better allow them to reside in the lack of light, and thus, the monsters adapted themselves, with some monsters allowing themselves to change and become one with the darkness, while others still remained with faith that they would be able to come back to the light one day.

That's where Frisk would come into play, a child lost in the sinking of a ship as they were slowly brought through the border of the two worlds, leaving the child to now have to go and face whatever could be waiting for them among the pitch black darkness that was the Dark side of earth.

Cool concept eh? I honestly still really like it, and wish i could continue it But alas, fate really can be a disappointment

Anyways, with the concept explained, i can give you a brief run down of the characters i had finished for the au which was only sans and papyrus

surprising.

Sans: The concept for sans was that he, along 80% of the monster population, embraced the darkness, now working as a delivery trucker for the Royal Command, being chill smoker that does nothing more than go on with his job and attempt at keeping on with his slightly depressing life, always having a smug on his face as, despite how shitty the world is actually around him, he cannot be bothered to care too much about it anymore.

Papyrus: Papyrus here is meant to be a much more rude and despisable type of character, being the leader of a small gang of bullies that roam around the rainy streets of the poor city of Metroliters, having decided to take on the more criminal life after being bullied off the Royal Command by it's members (the only exception being Undyne). Despite being mean and full of himself, he has a weak ego, and can easily have his image broken if said the right things, meaning he also has a short fuse and real bad temperament.

And, uh, i think that's all i got to explain about this tbh I really wished i could provide some more explanation surrounding other characters or world building, but i sadly can't all i could make was stupid takes

#uteclipse

[cherry-bomb-ships]

4 6 10 w your hubs ofc >:3c

Hrhfdjhgk okay... I won't lie when I first read this ask I reached a dilema where... I wasn't quite sure what f/o you were referring to 😳 I think you meant Cortex, so I hope I'm not just majorly embarrassing myself here pffffff

4) Which “era” of animation is your f/o from?

This is a fun question because the short answer is the mid 90s - the original Crash Bandicoot was released in 1996. But it's not that simple, since the Crash universe took heavy inspiration from classic Warner Brothers cartoons from the 40s and 50s, and Cortex is no exception! It should be noted that a character that inspired Cortex's design is the Brain from Animaniacs, who was also created in the 90s, but was ALSO inspired by older cartoons. Plus, if I'm remembering right, there's an excerpt from a Crash designer who said that he wanted Cortex to look like he could have been a villain in the Jetsons, which is from the 60s. So, Cortex's design takes inspiration from a few different eras of animation, but most prominently, probably the 50s!

6) Is your f/o present in any sequels or in many episodes of their respective series?

YES. I think of all the Crash games that there are, there's maybe likw one single game where Cortex isn't at least mentioned, that being a Tiger Electronics game referred to as Crash 99x. (If I'm mistaken and there's any other Crash games that are entirely missing Cortex, I'd love to be told abt it!) I mean, what's a hero without their villain, after all? :3

10) Would you want your f/o’s source to be rebooted, or made into a live action production?

Uh, okay what I'm imagining is a live action style film in the same vein as the Sonic movies, which is ironic cuz I ADORE the Sonic movies and of course ship with the version of Robotnik exclusive to those films, but like... Idk man. That'd be weird 🤨 To be fair, I saw some fanart on Reddit a while ago of a live action concept of Peter Dinklage as Cortex, and it didn't look. Awful, but it'd still just be weird conceptually 😂 I think if Crash were developed into a movie or show, it'd work best fully animated!

That being said... I'd be remissed to not mention the Crash cartoon that was unfortunately cancelled a few years ago. I still really wish they would have gone through with making that. I think it would have been good! 😭😭

[jingledbells]

OH ALSO . for that one fandom/ship/character ask game!!!

6, 9 and 13 for gravity falls

2 and 11 for fiddauthor

anddd 17 and 20 for stan and mabel :3

gravity falls 6,9,13

6) I think I already told you but I loveeee Mabel and ford!!! sweater twins my beloved ahhhh I care for them deeply. I really do wish they had more interactions cuz when they do they're so sweet!!Mabel clearly is in awe of ford as much as dipper is and ford has nothing but kind things to say about his niece

9) Mabel and Pacifica DEFINTLEY. Ive seen a post explaining how mabel should've been the one to assist Pacifica in northwest mansion mystery and honestly I agree. they're so silly together aghhhh. also smth tells me that lumity may or may not have been somewhat inspired by them. to an extent

13) hmmmmmm probably dipper and Pacifica. I think they have a nice friendship but I don't like how they're overshipped a lot of the times

fiddauthor 2 and 11

2) LIKE HELL I SHIP IT. I think I've also told you this before but I am. so ill about them. hhhhhhhh. I ship them cuz....uh idk I just kinda SAW them and was immidietlay captivated by them...like I was hypnotized...even from before ford was revealed I went 'GAY' in my seat while watching em'...they also remind me of petrigrof a LOT which is probably why they enraptured me so(previous brainrot which messed up my mind/pos)...they're just so tragic and so queer coded and have my gay ass in a chokehold wahhhhh

11) I shipped them from before I even INTERACTED with the fandom. like the moment I watched society of the blind eye I thought they were kinda gay tm. and then I watched atots and the rest of the show and I was forever changed. and then I googled them to see if they exist(well ofc they do but I had my doubts) and then from that moment on I was insane. all happened in Dec 27th 2022. and then I joined Tumblr January 2023 and started to consume them even more

mabel 17 and 20:

17) honestly that's a tough one. I know on the outside depending on what genre Mabel would probably have a hard time at first but something tells

20) shes pan and enby+transfem!! she doesn't really care about gender(regarding hers and people she likes) and kinda just likes to have fun with it!! uses she/it/they/he/xe(uses a bunch of neopronouns but Im still thinking of them)

stan 17 and 20:

17) yeass he would indeed...the scareoke episode he was SERVING beating the crap out of those zombies. if he was in alien he would be Ripley and be one of the only survivors...that's if it was a slasher or a zombie movie I'm not exactly sure on psychological horror or ghosts yet

20) HE HAS *THE* AROALLO SWAG. he doesn't really feel romantic attraction to anyone but it takes him quite a bit for him to figure that out. I like to think Mabel definitely helped him :] wahh aro stan I'd kill for you. he's also very bi and very transmasc(LOOK AT THE FUCKING SHIRTS HE WEARS. YOU CANNOT TELL ME IM WRONG), but he's also genderfluid to me. that one bit where he's watching the dutchess and she says 'i may be a dutchess...but I'm ALSO a WOMAN!!' and stan cries and says 'its just like my life!!! in a way', that part did NOT escape me. like sir, care to elaborate on what you meant? there is nothing cis about that man I can tell you. he has such gender envy

Small Beginnings

Secret Santa gift for @justmemorgane! @op-secret-santa 

Also on Ao3! 

“Franky finish giving you the tour?” Sanji asked as Jinbe joined him and Usopp in the aquarium room. 

“Yes, and about time, too,” Jinbe said, collapsing next to Usopp. “I admire his pride in his work, but I can’t say I’ve ever taken an interest in engineering.” 

Usopp laughed and took a bite of one of the mini sandwiches Sanji had brought in on a tray. “He likes to show off! You get used to it.” 

“And how long will that take?” 

“Before that, here you go,” Sanji said, opening the dumbwaiter. He removed the tray sitting inside and presented it to Jinbe. “I noticed you ate a lot of this at the festival.” 

“Ochazuke!” Jinbe exclaimed, taking the small, warm bowl. “Thank you very much.” 

“My pleasure. What do you like most about the ship?” 

“This room,” Jinbe said, sipping broth from his spoon. “It’s beautiful. It reminds me of home.” 

“I guess it would,” Usopp said, swallowing his sandwich. “Do you miss it?” 

“Sometimes. But please don’t misunderstand—I’m very happy to be here.” 

“Don’t worry about it,” Sanji said. He sat down next to Jinbe. “We all miss home sometimes.” 

“Where do you hail from?” 

“I worked at a restaurant in the East Blue before this,” Sanji said. “My old man made me join.” 

“I’m from Syrup Village in the East Blue!” Usopp said proudly. “Of course I think about all my old crew back home, but I wouldn’t trade being a pirate for the world!” 

“Crew?” 

“Don’t ask,” Sanji whispered. Raising his voice, he said, “Yeah, you were pretty scrawny back then.” 

“I was just as strong as I am now! I was hiding it for your sakes!” 

“Yeah, of course.” 

“I wish I had known you all two years ago,” Jinbe remarked, stirring his rice. “Luffy I knew, and it’s obvious he’s gotten much stronger even since he came to Fishman Island. But the rest of you, well . . .” 

“Luffy just keeps finding new tricks to win battles,” Sanji said, smiling. “First time I met him, he saved my restaurant, and then I had to save his ass from drowning.” 

“That’s not surprising.” 

“Trust us, we’ve gotten stronger, too!” Usopp said. “Only recently have I been able to unlock my true power—” 

“He has gotten better at lying,” Sanji said. As Usopp sputtered, Sanji continued, “I wasn’t able to walk in the sky until about a year ago, if that gives you any indication.” 

“I almost wish I could do that trick myself, but I prefer to stay close to the sea,” Jinbe said with a small laugh. “Say, how long has Franky been on this crew?” 

“He was . . . uh . . .” Usopp counted on his fingers. “Counting Luffy, he’s the eighth.” 

“May I ask what vessel you used to sail before he built the Sunny?” 

“Oh. That was Merry.” Usopp clasped his hands in his lap. “She died.” 

“She was a fine ship, but not strong enough for the Grand Line,” Sanji explained. 

“I . . . I see. I’m sorry. I’m sure she was wonderful.” 

“Her spirit lives on in Sunny,” Usopp said quietly. He shook his head. “Do you ever think, if we could travel back in time and face the same situations, how easy everything would be? I mean, Baroque Works would be a snap!” 

“Baroque Works was Crocodile’s old company, wasn’t it?” Jinbe said. “I heard about it after the Navy broke them up.” 

Sanji tsked. “We broke them up. They were trying to ruin Vivi-chan’s country, so we kicked their asses.” 

“And the Navy took the credit? That’s typical,” Jinbe said with a shake of his head. 

“Whatever did happen to those crooks?” Usopp wondered. 

“Some of them ended up in Impel Down,” Jinbe said. “Crocodile included. But they got away during Luffy’s break-in.” 

“Wait—so they’re at large?!” 

“Don’t worry, Usopp,” Sanji said, reaching around Jinbe to pat his head. “You just said they’d be a snap, remember? I bet you could beat Crocodile himself.” 

“I meant back then! It’s been two years! Who knows how strong they are now?!” 

“Hey, what about you?” Sanji said to Jinbe. “You asked us how strong we’ve gotten. Do you feel any stronger after what you and Luffy went through two years ago?” 

“I wish I could say yes,” Jinbe said. He felt his chest. “I . . . went through the same attack that gave Luffy the scar on his chest. It’s healed over, but I still feel it sometimes. And I think to myself . . . if we went through that again, right now, would I be able to protect him better?” 

“You don’t have to worry about that,” Usopp said. “We’re here now. And we’re not going to let it happen again.” 

Jinbe gave him a nod. “Of course. I . . . should have realized that. Thank you.” 

Sanji stood, stretching. “I’m going to start thinking about dinner. When you guys are done, send your dishes up the dumbwaiter.” He headed for the door, and then paused, turning around. “Oh, and Jinbe? If you really do feel that old wound acting up, go see Chopper. He’ll come up with something.” 

Jinbe smiled. “I will.”

[demento]

this is going to be my running commentary for the 2001 a space odecyecs (can't spell lmai

the monkey part is so wierdd, it is so obviously some dude in a fursuit, topped off by the noises and music. my dog is growling at them and intensely staring at the screen.

the massive pole thing? idk what that was abiut. and then they start beating eachother, and It suddenly cuts to outer space? okay.

my dog is so interested, not taking his eyes off it. abolutely captivated.

really cool soundtrack btw, I really like it

first part of characters(ur title):

his daughter just wants another telephone :(. I am so confused rn, what's that really long convo around the table? who knows.

PASSENGERS ARE ADVISED TO READ INSTRUCTIONS VLBEFORE USING THE TOILET XD !!!!??????!!

there is no speaking again? really cool music but I need to know what's going on. please

oooh a meeting. I wish subtitles were available I am not processing any of this

the CGI is fabulous I love it so much

they going into that base thingy now with the horrific audio, like, it doesn't need to go in for so long :(, it's too much for my head to handle. I hope it has a purpose, to build tension or smth cause it's really terrible(in the way that it's well done/made but a bad noise). AND NOW RINGING?!

it says Jupiter's mission now

it's focusing on this dude running around a rotating office(?) and it's hurting my brain I can't wrap my head around the movement in it. ik you said it was trippy but I assumed that's later lol

the way this dude is eating his icecreamed food is driving me insane, no one eats it like that, stuff is meant to be eaten in an order, or going from one end to the other. oooh it's infuriating >:(

HAL 9000! I <3 him so much. He and Dave are so. just so.

" I know it's a bit silly" awwww

the breathing atm is so grr dheggebsb bdjbbs bsnndndndnnhw grrrrgrrrreerrr. they did not need 10 minutes of this dude breaking really heavy, was not needed.

got to the intermission!

there's the breathing again it is so wierdd and just wrong.

my dog just let out the loudest fart honestly >:0

the dude that's not Dave is just floating out in space. he won't stop it's been ages now. he's been saved!

all the people in the white sleepy suits just died

Dave let the dude go again?! he and Hal had an argument over killing each other.

Dave killed Hal as he was singing a song to him? ok, onto the Jupiter and beyond the infinite

the magical colourfull line he's gone into looked like guitar hero, but rotated

atm all I see is colours I am so confused. it hurts my eyes.

babies in space!?!!

overall I just found it confusing, but it was interesting to watch lol

have fun reading this :P

LMAO HI

im not gonna respond to the first gorillas bit bc i was there w u but . set the tone for ur dogs for sure….

THE POLE YHING IS PART OF THE TRIPPY BIT my ongoing theory is that it gives people new information that their brains cant rly hand,e (i.e. monkeys near pole went apeshit but figured out how to use tools, people on moon near pole had to be put in a coma but figured out how to go to jupiter, dave near pole had the worst trip of his life but was reborn into a giant baby…) like some sorta lovecraftian shit

THE SIUDNTRACK IS SOOOOOO GOOD AGH. i LOVE the use of music in the film to set the tone & atmosphere & motifs & shit

THE LONG CONVO WAS UHHH. they were on like a specship docking station nd these guys tell the doctor (main guy who rang his kid) that the spaceship he’s going onto has rumours of a massive disease outbreaak, and so he better be careful and also they say he should like. feed info back to them . and be a rat basically . the doctor says “nuh uh thats confidential” and they all get sad bc they dont have access to a mole

the meeting is where we discover that actually theres NOT a disease outbreak , thats just a backup story to prevent more people going onto the ship. they’re travelling to the moon to investigate this weird black pole thing (th same pole frm the monkeys) bc it has a super strong super weird magnetic field . its said that it must have been dug down into the ground purposely bc its so deep…

…which brings us nicely to the AWFUL RINGING SCENE . theyve found the pole and are investigating it — behavior is notably VERY similar 2 tha monkeys. they reach forwards and touch it hesitantly, crowd around it in a circle… the reason however that it might be ringing for us NOW but was not ringing for the monekys PREVIOUSLY could be just because we, the viewer, ARE humans, adn thus cannot hear the sound the moneksy heard

JUPITERS MISSION IS WHERE THE MAIN PLOT COMES IN ! with hal and frank and dave . uhh more or less u seem to understand most of the first bit of this, but just to put it out there that the people who are in a coma are the people who were on the voyage to th moon to investigate the magnetic field .

HAL AND DAVE ARE SO. THEY ARE JUST SO. U GET IT

the breathing is bc theyre in space thats what they hear but iAGREE it was HORRIBEL watching that on the big screen OUGH

intermission :-3

frank was uhh dead .? the pod he was manouvreing got taken over by hal (bc the red light at the front lit up ) , and it cut his oxygen cord. he’s dead out there buddy . dave isnt saving him .

dave let frank go bc he had to go in the entrance where he would Probably Die if he did not Pay Attention. and so bringing franks body in was NOT on his list of priorities .

the argument with hal was brought on previously — do u remember the convo dave and frank had in the pod when they thought hal could not hear them ? the convo abt cutting hal off if it turned out that the communications device was NOT broken aftr all? thtas why hal killed frank, and why hal wanted to kill dave

THE SONG WAS A REFREENCE TO THE FIRST COMPUTER TO SING A SONG !! th ibm something or other….but uhh the deal with him singing was bc his memory files got removed it was like a factory reset. && dave kille shim bc he killed frank and all those cryogenically sleepin people lol

I TALKED ABT THIS EARLIER IN THE POST BUT JUST TO CLARIFY. u could see the black obelisk thing just b4 he started with the freaky acid trip thing……nd my personal theory is that. the information he was fed got TOO much and TOO overcomplicated . and thats why the last hhalf an hour is like that lmao

GIANT BABIES LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOO

it IS confusing ur right. nw….tgank you for liveblogging it like i asked babycakws

#thanks for the ask! #ballsack

[jewishraypalmer]

If it’s not too late for it, could you please do Ray Palmer for that character ask meme from a few days ago? Hope you’re doing well!

Oh it's NEVER too late to talk about Ray Palmer and you know it!!

How I feel about this character: um I love him more than words could ever say, he's a pure cinnamon roll. He means the world to me. I could write 500 essays on this man.

Any/all the people I ship romantically with this character: Nora forever and ever because they are meant to be and I will love them til always. But uh...also... coldatom was my first legends ship so I am a Snart and Ray supporter. Mick and Ray gets complicated because I'll just take whatever I can get but hey wouldn't be opposed to shipping atomwave romantically. And then we have steelatom which is a whole other confusing time!!!!

My favorite non-romantic relationship for this character: This will forever be the hardest question to answer. Like above, I just want atomwave in any capacity and I love their grumpy grump cheerful cheerful dynamic so it's probably Mick and Ray but Zari and Ray is a CLOSE second, I love their friendship especially in "Phone Home."

My unpopular opinion about this character: I don't know if it's unpopular but I do know that people thought it was time for him to leave legends and I have an entire tag on this blog that would prove otherwise. Also maybe he shouldn't have married Nora so soon.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: boy where do I START?? Uh would love to know the deal with his dad?? Did he have one???? What was their relationship like????? Why didn't we ever see his frick fracken BROTHER?????? I wanted to see Ray and his brother interact like Phil looked me straight in the eyes to say we ran out of stories when we know next to NOTHING about his life!!!

Favorite friendship for this character: I guess I can add SteelAtom here because I love them but I don't like Nate by himself 😂

My crossover ship: I still don't know what this means?? Like from an unrelated show?? Nah my aroace brain can't do that.

Thank you for the ask!!!!

#you get me LOL #ray palmer #asks #terrayoung

thoughts on how moonwatcher was handled? additionally, thoughts on qibli x moonwatcher and winter x moonwatcher? i kno the qinter nation will reign supreme but i wanna know ^_^

I Dont Like How Moonwatcher is handled and your gonna here ALL ABOUT IT-

Moon doesn't really get much time to shine in Arc 2. She has as a personality, one that is actually really interesting when you look at it, but most of the time she's relegated to a role I Would Not Wish On Any Character. The One Perused in The Love Triangle.

This is a problem because every time the Love Triangle is brought up (Which is...most of the time) her character stops being...a character. She stops acting like herself. To the point where sometimes she will outright contradict her previous actions for the sake of fueling shipping. WHICH SUCKS! It sucks! Because Moon is an interesting character in theory! She Has an Interesting personality and plot outside of that role!

Like, let's take Darkstalker for a moment: Darkstalker is a horrible friend and was manipulating Moon and we don't actually get much resolution for this plotline.

Moon is manipulated by Darkstalker throughout the entirety of Arc 2, Darkstalker is her first friend and also her mentor, he hides information from her and convinces her to help him out. He also blocks and hides parts of Moon's visions from her for her 'safety'.

When he is freed he isolates her from her friends and proceeds to tell her that with her around he can make 'better decisions' and 'be a better person', this is a manipulation tactic, Darkstalker is making her feel personally responsible for his actions and making her feel like she needs to stay with him or else something bad will happen. Throughout the entirety of Arc 2 Moon is being manipulated.

And this isn't actually discussed much! We don't actually get much proper resolution to Moon being manipulated by him. Only her being sad that Darkstalker didn't choose to be better. Which bothers me, I mentioned before that I don't think Darkstalker needed to commit genocide to be a good villain and this is another one of those moments. It's such a down to earth horror, the manipulation of an vulnerable teenager by someone she thought he could trust. He's not even purposefully doing it, Darkstalker just feels like he needs to do this so that she stays.

But it's just not talked about! It's not, it's pushed aside. We get no resolution to that.

And that's just only one thing! Moon is also a character who puts someone elses thoughts and intentions over there actions, which is also a core theme in this arc actually- I need to talk about the themes of Arc 2 in more detail sometime.

Continuing on though, Moon is someone who can be, painfully unaunced at times. For the benefit of her character! Is this talked about more...uh no. But I like that it...exists. I would of called Moon a nothing character if it didn't.

Like...I guess she's nice and shy but I'm glad there is more than that even if a lot of times Moon is just there for love triangle drama. I...wish we got more of her.

On Moonbil and Winterwatcher: I think my distaste for the love triangle is...pretty obvious but I will say that they should of properly resolved Winterwatcher because Moon and Winter relationship was also a question of if Nightwings and Icewings could get along. They are meant to parallel Foeslayer and Artic and they should of resolved that! Have Moon explicitly turn down Winter and Winter be okay with staying friends, or have them get together, or just anything that properly resolves the Winterwatcher plot. I would talk about it in more detail (and I have) but I'm a bit tired so...
