Dramaronpa: Star Struck-Eva

*stern girl looks around and cautiously wanders*

*both meets eye contact"

*shocked* "Yeep!...I mm-mean hellooo. It'ssss a rr-real honor mmeeting you I'm a hhHuge fffaannn!!"

*stern girl was shocked with widen eyes*

(Woah that scared me for a sec. Geez~)

( Looking at her sends shivers down my spine. Just judging by her face you can't really tell if she's pissed or confused.)

(....Still though, it's pretty kickass meeting her in person! I'm sure having a fighter like her around would be a good source of content, stories full of hardship and experience.)

(Man, Just remembering all her fights really pumped me up whenever I had to go back, watch, and use her footage for my videos.)

(So what can I do or say to get a good relationship going? Should I act casually or should I behave like a fan...Mmmm..or maybe it's best to wait and see what'll she'll do. I mean she is a famous celebrity after all, she got to know how to properly treat her fans. And once she opens up, then that's when I'll swoop in and get closer to her to score some info.)

(Alright then~...Let's just wait it out.)

"......."

"..........."

"................"

*awkward silence lasted for quite awhile*

".................."

"..................."

(Well.....This isn't going anywhere.)

(Should I have been the one to break the ice, I'm sure it's not to la-Wait..! What if I upset her if I speak first, would that hurt her honor. I'm sure that ruining my chances for a exclusive interview would be the least of my issues, I really don't wanna end up in a coma....Let's just wait a little longer....)

"........................"

*the awkwardness continued on*

*stern girl suddenly started shaking a little while continuing staring*

(OH SHIT!! I think I made her pissed! DAMNIT I KNEW I SHOULD'VE SAID SOMETHING BEFORE!!!...Okay, just wait and think....Ah come on...I gotta use what I remember about her if I want to continue breathing in the next 5 seconds!!)

(Eva, a MMA fighter like no one had ever seen before in the entirety of the sport's history. Described to be an absolute dangerous beast who rules the ring as her den—and like any feral animal if anyone else enters her territory then she'll end them by sinking in her fangs. Which is not surprising or an understatement if you look back at her fight history, even before her UFC depute.)

(Let's see if I remember all the intel I have on her past from before....mmmmm....Oh, right! From what I could gather from online and interviews, she comes from a long lineage of successful athletes that made huge leaps in the sport community around the World.)

(Because her mother died a couple years after she was born, she lived her whole life with a family of only boys—a passionate father, 9 enthusiastic older brothers, and 2 energetic younger brothers.)

(Excluding herself at the time and her father, who was like their trainer, all the of the boys in the family had their own active sport that they excelled—ranging from kickboxing all the way down to ping pong. Each of them earned titles calling them aces and state-wide champions, even her two younger brothers were city-wide champs.)

(I couldn't find out what she did up until then, but apparently at the age of 9 she announced to her family that she wanted to do MMA as her field she wants to excel at. After hearing her statement, her father and everyone of her brothers was so moved and immediately gave all their attention and support for her to be the best fighter out there.)

(Since then, she continued a rigorous training regimen and fought unorthodox sparring matches until she was 14 to make her debut. Thanks to her family's history, she was allowed to enter and become the youngest fighter in UFC history. )

(In every fight she had, they all end in the same horrific way. Even when the matches barely starts, her opponents would enter the ring only to immediately be trampled and getting the shit kicked out of them. Man, her fights were so one-sided that after each match it looked like she was just splashing paint around like a toddler finger-painting at preschool for the first time.)

(Her opponents would be in such a terrible conditions that they would be in a catatonic state where they wouldn't gain consciousness until a few days later. I remember some sport news pieces that reported that some were even placed in dire comas that required them to be put on life-support. Luckily they recovered, but that was only when months had passed.)

(She was someone who would be considered an all-offensive fighter with no plans of defense at hand, making her an absolute force charging and eviscerating anything in its path. I honestly be lying to myself if I didn't feel any sympathy for all those who were unfortunately had to fight her.)

(It's thanks to her brutality and lethal force that she was dubbed and trademarked as the "Deva of Destruction".)

(In a general sense, people in public eye would think that she wouldn't be popular or have any support due to her fighting style...BUUTTT that's definitely not true and for the people who do think that are such total liars~)

(Even though she doesn't speak much, she is totally entertaining to watch thanks to her wild and blood-thirsty ways. Everyone just enjoys violence...Well, onto other people that is...)

(Since the casualty rate was increasing and more and more fighters are being critically hospitalized, the boards of the UFC had to make some drastic measures that made a huge mark in its history. After quickly becoming the champion of all six weight classes, it was announced that she was permanently banned from participating any more matches in the Women's division.)

(Myself included, this caused a massive uproar in the community, but that was easily blown over when the rest of the announcement was said. Shockingly, rather than simply banning her she was also being transferred over to the Men's division. The news was simply shocking but there wasn't a single person who questioned why or doubted the decision.)

(As it stands, she earned the champion title of five weight classes—Flyweight, Bantaweight, Featherweight, Lightweight, and Welterweight. For some reason she didn't go further and just stayed at Welterweight for some reason. I couldn't find the reason why, but I hope she goes and takes them all one day.)

(That's about everything I know...So, come on SAY SOMETHING!...ANYTHING!!!...OR ELSE YOU'LL SPEND THE REST OF YOUR HIGH SCHOOL DAYS SLEEPING AND EATING THROUGH A TUBE!!!!!)

"AAAaaaa....IIIiiii....OOOooo...uummmm."

"Yyouu Aaare ssuch an ammazingg peop-person!"

*stern girl reacted*

(Oooo, she reacted! Let's go all Ass-Kissing mode! Let's see...what should I complement next?!....)

"Umm...You're so tall and strong...oh and powerful!"

*stern girl reacted more and eyes widen*

(OKAY!..I got this now. Keep talking about her strength and appearance. Alright Cody you got this!~)

"I wish I had big muscles like those. What's you secret?~"

"How can I be as tough as you?~"

"You're so much more cool and stronger than any guy out there~"

"I bet any guy out there would run away scared of you, huh?~"

"I wish I was as mighty as you, you're a lot more manlier than me~"

*complements about her strength and physique continued*

*stern girl started reacting and shaking more and more*

*finally stern girl stopped moving*

(Oh shit, did I mess up in one of the things I said?!...)

*whimpering and scared*..."Yeep"

*stern girl suddenly stomps her feet, turns around, and quickly dashed away like a speeding bullet*

"....."

"Wait...What??????"

(The hell just happen? I thought she was going to kill me...)

(Mmmmm...Maybe she forgot something she had to do and suddenly remembers?)

(Any case, that didn't turn out like I expected, in fact I feel kinda let down that I didn't really make much progress with here....)

(Well, there's always next time and I still have these three years to do it~)

(........)

(.......Still though, there's still something bothering me right before she ran away...I don't know if it's the sun playing tricks on me, but it looked like she was...)

"Crying?!"

"Pfft...No way. How could someone like the Deva of Destruction cry~"

"Heh, I should wearing sunglasses or something~"

Warnings: mention of sexual activity- p in v, mentions of cheating.

Summary: your a photographer and one night you and your sister attend an mission impossible event and it happily turns out to be one that will definitely be hard to forget

@worldofheroes @helloitstsyu @love2write2626

An Event you’ll never forget

It was a lovely sunny day in La, sun shining through your shared apartment near the beach.

you and Hannah your older sister was getting ready for a red carpet event for the new mission impossible movie and finally getting to meet thee Tom Cruise and take some photos for the daily newspaper.

Hannah had pulled out a short revealing purple dress and swings the hanger on her finger.

“Hey sis you should definitely wear this today might even get lucky with Tom

Seeing you in this dress might spark his feral feelings.”

Shaking your head as walking to grab the dress from Hannah to change once you take the dress and head into the bathroom you hear Hannah saying Tom might have a kinky side or he may think you’re gorgeous and have a thing for younger girls.

Peaking out from the bathroom as you now apply some makeup.

“For god sake Hannah shut up, seriously you automatically think Tom’s gonna have a kinky and he’s got a thing for young beautiful girls why would he wanna date or be interested in this I’m not beautiful according to my now dick of a boyfriend”

Once finished your hair and makeup

Hannah checks her phone and runs to grab her bag, she’s dressed in skinny jeans and a crop top.

“Sis you ready our private cars here, look sis I know this is for your work and it’s probably the last thing you’re wanting to do after finding out yesterday zac cheated on you, come on it might turn out to be fun.”

Tom was sat in the back of his private car driving to the movie premiere he smiled seeing all the fans screaming and excited to see him and he groaned at the amount of paparazzi there quietly mumbling

“come on cruise you can do this it’s for the fans they’ve probably been standing here for hours waiting to see you walk down the red carpet.”

He gets out of the car black aviator’s on and starts smiling and doing autographs and pictures with as many fans that he can for now

Your car arrives and both of you get out Hannah automatically gives your camera and both walk to stand with the other paparazzi’s and takes some pictures quickly leaning to mumble to Hannah

“Han I’m not sure if I can do this I’m feeling sick and my hands are shaking what if I don’t get a good quality picture and then my boss takes a look and says there shit and I get fired oh shit sis he’s coming over”

After Tom had done as much autographs as he can for now he’s making his way along the red carpet. The sounds of Tom’s name being yelled the thousand loud clicking sound of practically every ones camera’s going.

Tom would do a few pictures for papers and magazines and stop to chat to the occasional interviewer as he slowly walked down the carpet something made Tom suddenly stop scanning the massive line of paparazzi’s he spotted your beautiful figure from among the crowd he slowly walked towards you and Hannah and smiles.

Your stood feeling extremely numb and all of a sudden it was like you’d forgotten how to speak you just admired how handsome Tom was your hands were still shaking.

Hannah looks at you then turns her attention towards Tom and laughs and rolls her eyes.

“Hi Tom my name is Hannah huge fan love your movie this brave talented idiot is Y/n my sister she is I think gotta be your number one fan and she works as a photographer for the daily newspaper and the reason she’s this quiet is that she fancies the hell out of you.”

Suddenly snapped out of your fan based panic you only catch the very last bit and playfully smack’s Hannah arm and giggles

“Oh Hannah shut up I told you that in secret

You broke the one important rule in the sisters code, but thank you I am brave and talented”

Tom smirks and looks at you both and gets an idea for getting the best pictures for your daily newspaper.

“so y/u your a photographer how’d you two girls like to the day hanging out with me and the others get the chance to snap some more pictures.”

Hannah jumps straight in “actually Tom that’s a brilliant idea it’s definitely a big yes for y/n think she’d manage to do that task all by herself oh and what about maybe after getting enough pictures for her boss she could you know hang out with just you maybe get to know more, sis don’t worry about me i can hang out with the other cast members, you go have fun with Tom and enjoy yourself.”

Your so filled with embarrassment and anger not saying one word just giving your sister the biggest death stare slowly shaking your head and mouth. “you are so dead when we’re back home”

Before anything happens Hannah walks away to introduce herself to the other cast members just leaving you and Tom alone,

Your still feeling extremely sick, shaking dry mouth tiny bit lightheaded Tom looked at you and was concerned and quickly guided you to a nearby chair placing you down he bends to kneel in front of you and places a hand on your forehead.

“Goss sweetheart your burning and very pale have you been stressing about today because you look extremely exhausted can’t have a pretty girl like you passing out”

Simon looks over to Tom and Y/n then turns to Hannah a bit worried

“Hey Hannah is everything okay with your sister she looks really really pale I’m kinda worried about her hopefully she’ll be fine she is in the best of hands with Tom.”

Hannah looks over to you feeling the sudden pain you would pass out or be sick

Trying to calm herself and think Tom’s with her.

“She’s had a rough few days, her boss moaning if she can’t get a decent photograph he’s gonna fire her because he’s said it’ll be way easier to find a new Photographer and she’s not been sleeping and I know she’s skipped meals and just to top all the worst things yesterday she’d just found out her boyfriend Zac cheated on her.”

Rebecca gasp and feels extremely angry and upset at what you’ve had to put up with.

“Oh my god that poor girl what a jerk of a boss to go and say that and getting your sister all stressed up and she must be so exhausted and starving and as for her so called dick of a boyfriend she’s better off without him”

Back with you and Tom suddenly out of nowhere you break out in tears causing Tom to instantly and automatically sit next to you pulling closers in for a cuddle, he gently strokes your hair.

“Ohh sssh it’s okay darling I’ve got you work really stressing you out that bad hey come on tell me what you’ve been going through”

You slowly lift your head eyes extremely red and puffy and tears running down your cheeks taking a few deep breath you relayed everything that Hannah told the other.

Tom just tightly cuddles you and thinks of anyway to help you and smiles and lifts your chin to look straight at him.

“How would you like to be my very own personal photographer you come with me and I will take more pictures with you and as for your arse of a boyfriend forget him.”

Simon and the others yell for Tom and you as it’s time to view the completed finished movie as you got up and walked to go see it Tom held your hand and slowly walked in together. You cutely glance at Tom and smile and both sit next to each other and don’t let go of hands.

During the film you got this sense of being watched giggling and turn to be met with Tom’s beautiful eyes and smile looking right at you smirking, you whisper and bite your lip at Tom.

“Tom what stop staring at me it’s making me blush, just focus on your movie that’s why you’re here not to admire me Mr cruise”.

Tom felt extremely turned on at hearing the way you call him Mr cruise he jumps to an idea and leans into whisper, the others are probably thinking your both discussing about the film or Tom’s explaining how and what for the massive motorbike cliff Stunt.

“Come back to mine tonight you can stay in my guest bedroom I can cook you dinner if you’d wanna take a nap and we can go over the plans for you working as my private photographer, by the way did I mention just how sexy you look in that dress just a shame it won’t be on you for long.”

You get a shiver run down your spine and squeezing your legs shut and forcefully holding in a moan when you feel Tom’s soft warm lips kissing and nibbling your ear and down your neck.

“Mmmh T…Tom stop it be a good boy and I might give you an answer oh who am I kidding seriously I’d love to be your personal photographer and hell no am I staying in a guest bedroom your gonna have to share a bed together and thank you and may I say your extremely handsome but that suit shame really gonna be thrown onto the same pile as my dress, Tom I’m seriously really wet”.

Tom stopped kissing your neck and groaned and raised a brow and discreetly slips his jacket off and places it onto your lap sneakily looking around nobody was watching to busy focusing on the movie.

He gently helps you slide down your panties and placing them in your pocket.

shuffling into a comfy position does Tom slowly slip one finger into your wet fold gripping the arm of the cinema chair and holding a moan he slowly slips a second finger and begins pumping his fingers in and out and you slowly move your hips against his fingers he pumps his fingers faster snuggling your face into his neck and softly whispers into Tom.

“Ooh fuck yes I seriously didn’t think your fingers would feel this amazing inside me, ugh naughty Mr Cruise fucking one of your biggest fans right in front of your cast member and thought this was important to make sure this is right before publishing to let the fans watch, mmmh I swear you better fuck me this good when I’m back with you.”

You instantly got the twitching in your stomach and your legs started wobbling if anyone looked over Tom was prepared to say you where freezing and that’s why his jacket was covering your legs and if your feet was twitching too, Tom was pounding his fingers in and out felling your walls clamp round his fingers and then suddenly felt your warm liquid cum coat his fingers slowly pulling out of you and putting his fingers and sucking them clean did Tom then faced you. He wrapped an arm round you instantly laid your head on Tom’s shoulder and quietly went back to watch the end part of the movie as you’d both gotten distracted.

Once Tom and the other had all agreed the film can be released they headed back to the hotel, Hannah texted saying she’d took an early taxi back to the apartment and knew not to wait up or expect you home got the feeling you’d be staying at a certain Mr cruise’s house.

You were currently just texting Hannah back telling her where you’d be staying when you suddenly smiled and knew instantly who’d wrapped their arms around you.

“Mmmh hello Tom definitely had fun in the cinema earlier ready to take me back home and share your bed with me kinda just fancy resting on the couch and kissing you.”

Tom has a massive smile on his face and strokes your face and he wraps his jacket around you as you both wait for Tom’s private car to arrive.

“Mmmh hello gorgeous, I definitely had fun back there too I’m more than ready to take you back home and no question you’re banned from leaving my bed forever, nothing would make me more happier to go home lay on the couch and cuddle with and kiss you baby”.

Once Tom’s private car had arrived both you and Tom got into the back and heading to his house, both you and Tom were currently passionately kissing each other and Tom sneakily moved so you were straddling him.

You’re making quick work of unbuckling and sliding down Tom suit trousers and boxers letting his hard cock out automatically you gasp and quickly hitch your dress up.

Taking Tom’s cock you rub it against your wet clit and slowly slides down onto it, both letting out a moan thankfully the window behind the driver was dark, he wouldn’t see anything.

“Ahh Tom is this safe what if you’re driving hears us, ohh fuck you feel good I’ve been aching for your cock after your little fun with me at the cinema you really are a very naughty boy”.

Tom leans forward and deeply kisses you and he smirking then holds your hips.

“This is another amazing way of having sex wait let me guess little pathetic Zac never fucked you good in a car, my driver can’t see anything darling black out windows your safe and I have to say you feel wonderful wrapped around my cock.”

As your bouncing and rocking your hips back and forth on Tom’s cock both moaning and he’s kissing your neck and slips the arms off your dress down he softly sucks on one tit, instantly laying your head back mouth wide open.

“Mmmh fuck oh god Tom I’m gonna cum I’m gonna cum so good please hold me” you vigorously bouncing and pounding onto Tom’s cock he felt again your walls clamped against his cock and then suddenly felt your liquid cum cost him and you instantly got relief when you could feel Tom’s cum coat inside of you, as promised Tom wrapped and locked his fingers together and held onto you.

You’d spend the rest of your journey staying cuddled into each other as the car stopped outside a very private gated area the back door opened wide to reveal a stunning huge massive mansion your eyes and mouth hangs wide open so speechless automatically blurt out. “Fuck me that house is huge”.

Tom sneaks up and wraps arms around your waist and whispers into your ear which makes you giggle.

“Mmmh miss y/n I believe I’ve just fucked you twice but okay the 3rd time will be inside less people to hear you screaming my name can’t have the neighbours complaining about my new girlfriend being noisy”.

Your all shy and love when Tom would sneak up or wrap arms around you maybe kiss your cheek or neck and slowly imagine living together or coming round as his girlfriend your so pretending to be distracted you’d forget what Tom said and slowly turned to look at him.

“Wait what was last part you know after you’d said about the neighbours complaining about your new what.”

Giving you his trademark smirk Tom pulled you really up close and slowly and teasingly “my new cheeky very noisy girlfriend, so let’s get our butts inside and cuddle now”.

Later on that night after you’d finished dinner and are snuggled into each other’s arms and flicking through the movie channels and occasionally give each other kisses you finally felt happy and loved.

11, 25, 29 for the music asks!

ok so I wound up having a LOT to say for these

11. a popular song you think is Good, Actually

this is hard cuz I actually do love pop music and admire pop songwriting as an art form. call me maybe is definitely a song I would consider to be great, like the whole thing is brilliantly written and arranged. I love Avril Lavigne’s early work. I also love all the big singles from the black eyed peas’ “electro era”, I gotta feeling, dirty bit, imma be etc. I also like most of katy perry’s early hits but her output hit a brick wall for me when she switched from dumb but well made party anthems like tgif and california gurls and started making faux inspirational empowerment anthems like roar and firework. thank u next by ariana grande was brilliantly produced even though the lyrics are oversimplistic in a way that hurts the vibe and the lyrical gimmick gets old imo.

25. a music artist you like(d) but don’t tell people you do

I was a huge deadmau5 fan for many years and even saw him live in 2017. I don’t really listen to him anymore mostly because his music doesn’t appeal to me as much anymore, his recent output is kind of trash, and I’ve also come to loathe him as a person. obviously there’s the transphobia but beyond that there’s two main things I kind of hate about deadmau5 as a person. the first is his approach to and perspective on music. he seems to view music production and the creation of electronic music generally in terms of a meticulous, rigid set of rules that you have to follow, and the closer you follow them the better your music is. this can manifest positively in his music. his track are incredibly detailed and precisely controlled and every SOUND in his tracks is gorgeously crafted. however, this (combined with his fetishistic obsession with analog purity and large, expensive hardware) also wound up leading to his creative stagnation and the increasing blandness of his music. it also plays a role in my second big issue with deadmau5, which is that he’s a juvenile egotistical jackass. aside from just generally being a noxious shitbag he holds every piece of music to his arbitrary standard of technical perfection, ignoring that a track may be using it’s mixing and mastering for creative aesthetic purposes or that it may be prioritizing sonic experimentation/songwriting/literally anything else over “being perfectly suited to a big club system or an expensive hi-fi”. his view of music and the world is fantastically narrow. I think Joel’s noxious personality is best exemplified in a livestream clip where he “reacts” to the song love u need u by slushii, and just keeps calling the song “aids” and “seriously autistic shit”.

29. what do you look for in a song or artist?

this is really hard to answer but I guess anything that really grabs me and stands out as unique and special. but I also have a lot of appreciation for songwriting, production, sound design and lyricism as “crafts” on their own. even if it’s not terribly unique I can still appreciate it if it’s “well made” if that makes sense.

Random Long Post about comparing Duela Doe to Emma

For those out of the loop, CW has a show called Gotham Knights that follows a group of Gotham Teens that are questioned for killing Batman (this is in the trailer, not a spoiler). This group is a mix of characters from the comics (but heavily reworked) and original character like a biological (?) son of Bruce Wayne and a biological daughter of Harley Quinn and Joker--Duela Doe. Also not to be confused with Duela Dent from the comics, that was just a super fan of joker.

It’s interesting how in some aspects, both of them have not been raised by Joker yet Duela is heavily associated with him--like down to her color scheme. Joker is also dead in this show (pretty sure solely cause WB told them they can’t have an on-screen Joker). I’ve not seen any clips of Harley, so she may just be acting like her mother but also...if this kid was born in Arkham to joker and harley quinn, why the fuck do they have custody over the child? I get Gotham can be silly and goofy, but i think its not THAT silly goofy.

I also don’t get why they went with the last name of Doe when Harley’s alias is like well known?? Especially if Joker is an inactive father? And has no last name. Idk that is a bit silly, which is why when I made Emma I had her take her mother’s last name for those exact reasons. I do go back and forth in threads on wether if Emma’s mom knew/remember the bio dad cause it is something I am still playing with, but like no matter what the dad was non existent, therefore does not get a say in the naming of the baby.

Overall it is funny seeing a character slightly similar to an OC but seeing how a show handles it and treats it at face value of ‘evil parent? evil kid?’ Now not all kids are like this, but I feel anywhere I see an interpretation of Joker having a kid, the kid is like a Joker Jr. I wonder if they do explore that a bit more deeply about like breaking the role/expectations set by your parents--especially when Bruce Wayne’s son is the main character. Like I feel its expected for her to bad, but its compelling when she could turn out to be the opposite, yet in some ways still acknowledge her biology/heritage?

Idk like, why have someone be a copy and paste when you can have the original? Like what new thing does she bring to the table? That she is a teenager? That she is a girl? Which also now that I am on a ramble, one thing I don’t like make a huge fuss about is Emma being a girl Robin. Cause it happens in the comics, more rarely but it happens, and Bruce isn’t gonna be the type to like make set rules on ‘if ur this gender, ur this person.’ Cause Robin in my interpretation is a role given to kids in Bruce’s life that he has a closer familial connection with.

Idk its fun having kids question authority/their parents, but also question what is a parent. Especially for a character like Bruce who becomes and adoptive father for many at various ages. There is not always the same answer, and it’ll always be case by case and that’s what makes it interesting. So yeah another qualm I have is taking out the idea that Bruce adopts kids--and that he would have a blonde kid (jk).

Also part of me is not even sure if she is actually Joker’s kid cause they act like it’s a mystery in the trailer meanwhile the girl is wearing green and purple non-stop.

I’m genuinely interested though if anyone else has seen this show thought cause I see NO ONE on my feed mention it.

Note: i have only seen the trailer, wikia and this .

Also, this is no hate whatsoever directed to the actors & workers, they just gotta do what the script says and i respect em for that.

Here is a group shot, i wonder who could possibly be joker’s kid...hmm....

#//i see one ad and was like 'time to talk abt this'#//POSSIBLE gotham knights spoilers #//i have no clue what happens in this show #//the trailer is a TRIP

Here are some more Isaac facts if you're interested:

Isaac never used the paintball gun Kathy gifted him because he's scared of accidentally breaking it. It sits on his desk, next to a blurry picture with missing parts.

He has an extreme case of arachnophobia, even a child's drawing of a spider or the word itself scares him. Clef used this against him more than once.

After the first few times Isaac snuck into his office, Glass put a small pillow in the bottom left drawer of his desk. To thank him, Isaac leaves little trinkets for him in the drawer.

Isaac likes to either sleep on elevated places, people or in confined places, there's no in between. He was once find sleeping on top of a fan.

Despite what his corpulence would let people think, he actually has enough strength to bring a human to the ground. It's always a shocking sight for someone who sees it happen for the first time.

Isaac hates misspelling and will correct any mistake he sees. You know that meme with the dead body and "your next" written in blood on the wall. And a person enters, gasps and corrects the text so now it reads "You're next." That's Isaac. He hates acronyms too but it's mostly because he doesn't understand what they mean since the meaning of some are always changing.

His favorite meals are suchi and shepherd's pie.

He has a huge sweet tooth but can only eat sweet things when he's in his human form. He's sick otherwise.

Speaking of food, he follows the 5 seconds rule.

He likes to have his claws painted and his fur brushed. Speaking of which, he is great at painting nails. He used to paint Eve's nails when she was a child.

Isaac is prohibited from dying his hair since it changes the color of his fur.

He cannot stand doctor Clef because of everything he did to him. (There is a list)

-Cat dad anon

"A list of things the Dr. Clef can't do around Dr. Isaac"

Additional notes: 'What, you thought I'd say something to back Clef up? Nope, this is a cat we are talking about, sorry Clefy but I gotta side with someone else here.' -Dr. Bright

' *A picture of Dr. Clef is attached, his face being censored by a giant spider* Have a treat Dr. Isaac. ' -Dr. Clef

Review of Alert 1x09 “Brianna” and 1x10 “Max

okay everyone… we made it! it’s been about 8 weeks but we got through all of season 1, 10 episodes, of Alert! Here are my opinions from last nights 2 hour season/series(?) finale! this might be a long one btw! if you haven’t seen the last episode then i’d skip this review. Spoilers ahead!

- okay so to start off we got the Brianna case, honestly, i thought it was kinda weird. like it was realistic up to a certain point, i mean ya there are crazy people out there but still. that whole thing was just a bit far-fetched for me, the wife wanting to kill brianna, like come on! i thought mike took an interesting lead in this case since Nikki and Jason were tied up with the keith case.

- i gotta say ever since the last episode where we found out that the body in the lake wasn’t “keith” i was pretty sure they were gonna go along with keith actually being keith. obviously, i had hoped for the opposite and that’s exactly what we got! in 1x09 i really believed keith for a while, his case made sense, mostly except for a few questions here and there. i think i knew something was up when the rest of the boys that Beth kidnapped were homeless, it wouldn’t make sense for keith to be kidnapped by her. i’ll give the show that, i was surprised they actually went through and decided to not have keith be keith, i feel like we all knew it in the back of our minds, but i’m happy the show didn’t play safe.

- mike was right about nikki and jason getting in trouble or having the case put on the back burner because of their personal involvement and honestly if everything worked out, that could’ve cost them the case. but then when nikki gets taken, mike tells jason to use any means necessary. so where does mike lie? he seems to bend the rules for himself/the people he cares about but not for others. interesting character flaw that should be delved into more.

-I wasn't a huge fan when Nikki got kidnapped. Like what did that add to the story, ya the main character just got taken, it'll bring in more views but that whole plot line added nothing. Mistake me if I'm wrong but max could've gotten out on his own without Nikki but he just didn't? she literally was instructing him on how to escape from a few feet away, she did nothing. Also Nikki could've very easily escaped after max left, she didn't have to stay to check on Beth's dead son, didn't she already know that he was dead? correct me if I'm wrong tho, I might be misremembering. idk it was just a bit too extra for me but it was a good way for the show to bring in views,

- I feel like there was too much happening in the last 10-20 mins. First of all, Keith got taken again! have they learned nothing! I mean ya, the biological mom probably would've kidnapped him someday anyway. Also, at first, I thought he was just getting kidnapped again but that would be too perfect. Did anyone else notice that there was no amber alert for Keith when he got kidnapped that second time? A bit odd, they had the incense plate, they easily could've put some sort of alert out there. the whole entire missing persons unit was in that house.

-how did everyone feel about the very ending with Keith actually being Lucas and faking the whole time? Like, I feel like we all knew that wasn't the real Keith but it all happened too fast. I wanted a bit longer with that, also how did he get away from the bio mother for so long without her calling the police on him or just forcibly going in and telling Nikki and Jason the truth?

-I do like how we now know that Keith isn't actually Keith. It just wouldn't make any sense if they left it as it was in the previous episode with Keith being their son. However, I didn't like how they just killed him, I feel like if they left him alive, there could've been much more conflict as well as possible storylines for next season (if they get renewed). maybe they could've dealt with him in their lives to get away from the abuse from his birth mother or just go more into depth on everything. I feel like it was just a cop-out on actually going deeper into that situation. they just killed him instead. I will say, I liked how they showed all of the pieces being put together by Lucas while he was living with Nikki and Jason and how he became Keith. idk, how do you all feel about it?

-I actually liked the pacing of the finale until the very end. That being said, we got nothing! Nothing! There was no long tender moment that really went into depth on how Nikki and Jason felt, ya we got that scene on the couch but come on, I thought they were gonna get back together for sure, that doesn't count. I wanted a scene where they just talked; the kid who they thought was their son not only revealed that he has been lying to them for months but also just died in front of them and nothing?! no dramatic reaction!? at least Nikki shed some tears but absolutely nothing after that. but really Jason? nothing? this is one of the main problems with this show, it lacks tender, slow, quiet moments that the audience desperately needs. we need to see and experience scenes with an emotional impact. We also needed a closure scene, not with the whole team, but with Nikki and Jason who seemed completely fine after the entire incident and even moved on? also, it basically just confirmed that their real son is dead at the bottom of the lake and we don't know how they feel about it. idk that just didn't sit right with me, I wanted more at the end! more real-life emotions please.

-poor Sidney... poor poor Sidney. she tried telling her parents so many times, but her feelings were put to the side. there wasn't even an apology from Jason nor Nikki. I didn't like how she had maybe 10 lines in the whole 2 hour finale, that was her supposed brother, she deserved to be heard or have some sort of emotional reaction. I felt bad for Fivel Stewart. Nothing for nor from her, I bet she wanted more character development but we got nada. We don't even know how she feels that he died! She lived across the hall from that kid for weeks if not months and she's supposedly fine by the end of the episode. they messed up her storyline.

-that season finale felt an awful lot like a series finale to me. did anyone else feel that way? most, if not all, of the storylines were closed by the end of the season. there are a few stragglers like June (what the actual hell happened to her? did she fall off the face of the earth because there hasn't even been one freaking mention about her! is she still alive? what?), and kemi's whole kidnapping/father storyline (which I'll assume they'll happily dive into if there's another season). but idk it almost feels like a miniseries, there was no cliffhanger at the end like most other tv shows. that doesn't bring much hope for a season 2, sorry to say. and then to have a 2 hour season finale might be a send-off for good, idk? like I've never seen a tv show season finale with this many finished storylines when they're supposedly hoping for another season. the viewers/ratings weren't horrible for Fox but compared to the rest of television on Monday nights, it's not very impressive, but then again it's Fox. I read that the finale got around 2.4 million viewers which is high for this show, but less than the premiere, it was better than how it performed week to week tho.

-I guess we'll have to see if there's another season. a part of me hopes there's another season and a part of me doesn't want one. I want to see Scott on my television every week, I felt so spoiled watching Scott on tv every week again since we haven't seen him in so long. But then again, the entire show itself is just bad... sorry it's just bad; the writing, and some of the acting most notably. I really want to see Scott in something good that has creative value and integrity because he's so much better than this show. after reading a lot of the reviews, I determined that most people tuned in and stayed for Scott, they thought he was the best thing about the show, which I agree with. That being said, a lot of hard work from not only the actors but also from all of the behind-the-scenes crew was put into this show.

anyways, I've rambled on long enough lol! those are my opinions about the finale. here's a little recap; I'm happy it ended with Keith not being Keith but I didn't like the Lucas death, it would've been interesting with him still in the mix. Good pacing until the end, we needed tender emotional moments. I give it a B-, maybe a B if I'm feeling generous lol!

Well, it's been an interesting 8 weeks, to say the least, sad to not be reviewing episodes anymore... what will I rant about now? haha. maybe we'll get a season 2, maybe not? I hate to say but hopefully not. we'll find out at the Fox upfronts in May.

let me know what y'all think, I'm really interested to see if people liked the ending and what they would change about it. Until next time...

So let's get the big bich out the way first.

We gotta talk about it.

First, yes, I'm a huge fan. Yes I am aware this gives me bias.

I would, however, advocate for the position that Fire Emblem having more characters than most other franchises is actually a great way to nutshell the games as a whole in a crossover game. Fire Emblem is a series about war, massive armies, and ragtag bands of lunatics banding together to fight off an invading empire or the devil (when they aren't, like, plowing in the encampments). The consistent themes are unity and friendship between allies and how they're stronger together. In these games, you control an army, and you need to use all of them together in order to win (unless you're Seth, but that man swings lower than any character in gaming history, he gets a pass). It makes sense there's a lot of them. They sent a squad. That's how they roll. They also, by virtue of being an enormous cast of humanoids and warrior people, fit the physical criterias of a fighter by default.

However, because of this, Fire Emblem needs a special rule unique to its franchise. It's not FE Bros. I get that.

So I've come up with a solution that I think makes everyone happy. It limits FEs taking up "slots", while also allowing the franchise to stay relevant as more characters get added in future and more games in the series comes out in future (and they will. FE has become one of the cash cows of Nintendo. They're gonna pump these things out. Hell of a glowup really, and all with the power of anime) without kicking any older characters off of the roster to make room. And it even makes sense for the franchise.

Archetypes baby.

If you're unfamiliar, see, Fire Emblem does this thing in every single game where characters are created basically as references to older characters, and are built, stat-wise and personality-wise, to ape older ones to serve similar purposes to the narrative and gameplay. The fandom has dubbed them archetypes. It's a really interesting idea, allowing the developers to make a gaming shorthand for veterans to immediately adapt to a new roster and strategize with their new game pieces, while also allowing those archetypes to be subverted in a narrative sense between games, creating surprises and allowing characters to be narratively interesting just by subverting the expectations created by older characters of their archetype.

For example: The Cain and The Abel.

These nerds (Cain and Abel) were the first two unpromoted cavaliers to join your army in the very first FE game. Cain had red armor and Abel had Green. Cain did more damage on attacks and had higher defense, while Abel was faster, hit more frequently, and missed less. Cain was hotheaded, Abel was calm.

Every game after that has had a Cain and Abel. You get two cavaliers at about the same time, one red, one green, one fast, one strong, and they have conflicting Red Oni/Blue Oni personalities. But FE keeps them fresh by tweaking them here or there.

Come Awakening. You get Sully (red, hot headed) and Stahl (Green, sedate), only Sully is a woman, and is the fast one, Stahl is the strong one. They then used Sully's gender and hotheadedness in concert to examine how she has adopted the hotheadedness from her training with men to protect herself from the sexism she faced from them. They used existing pieces, tweaked them a bit, and then extrapolated from them to say something interesting by examining how those tweaks can affect a character in a tangible way. No, I wouldn't say Awakening is a uniquely feminist work, but playing with an established trope allowed the character writers to say something cool and I really dig that.

In Gaiden/Echoes, your Cain and Abel in the mage protagonist's campaign are two mages instead of cavalry. In Sacred Stones the green knight is the hothead (serious, dour, and short tempered) and the red one is the sedate one (lackadaisical, sarcastic, and easygoing) You get the idea. There's a lot of them and they're in every game.

So that's the solution. FE Archetypes in Smash. It represents the series while also keeping things civil, while also giving FE fans more characters while taking up little actual space in game data. From here on, if a character in a new FE game fits into an archetype established already and are to be added to Smash as a fighter, they instead get added as an alternate skin of the older character that defined their archetype. The moves, inputs, animations, and effects of moves would be the same, the only things changing would be visual effects. If the character in question adds a truly unique gameplay style to FE's representation, they get to be a standalone character, and then *they* will have established an archetype of their own.

The archetypes would be the first character on the roster that behaves this way. We already have some established ones. We'd have;

The Marth: Steady and graceful, with elegant, light, fast sword play, emphasizing finesse and thrusting over swipes and slashes. The blade tips to maintain careful distance that must be managed and the focus is on exploiting weakness with shield breaks and outplaying with counters. Personality-wise, this is reserved for royals or otherwise raised in environments that emphasize diplomacy and mercy over warfare. Bleeding hearts types.

The Roy: fast, aggressive, and unprofessional. The sword swings are unusal and unorthodox but aggressive and strong. The focus is on blitzing people down up close and personal. The heft near the base does the most damage to highlight this and the focus is on aggressive attrition with an unreliable defense. The swords are magic and capable of producing flame. Personality wise, this one is for royals who are more focused on the fighting than the talking. Either unskilled at the act, uninitiated, or uninterested. Stock shonen hero types.

The Ike: Slow and powerful, with brutal swings with wide arcs. The swings are slow but efficient, a soldier's mindset instead of a prince. Powerful, effective, the emphasis is on destruction, not grace. The overwhelming strength creates impacts wherever the weapon lands. Personality wise, non-royal, or must have a sneering contempt for the practice of statecraft but priority one is being a bit of a sourpuss. Seinen types.

The Lucina/Chrom: We're gonna get into *this* one later in another post! Oh golly oh gee.

The Robin: Spellswords with an emphasis on magic, but capable of swordplay. Must have access to a lightning attuned weapon of some kind. Thankfully this is not restricted to swords in FE. As an avatar, this archetype is not limited to personality types.

The Corrin: Shapeshifters that use their bodies in tandem with magical weapons. Capable of magical feats by virtue of their transformations, but otherwise not a mage. As an avatar, this archetype is not limited to certain personalities.

The Byleth: Multiweapon masters who use more than one weapon at once. As an avatar yadda yadda.

With these, any character introduced later that fits into these boxes can be added no sweat, so your favorite character can be in but no one has to yell at you! We can even retroactively add characters to the old ones as alt characters as skins, like Alph and Olimar or the Minecraft crew.

My proposals for some FE characters to be added to the established archetypes and why I think they work;

Marths:

Leif from Thracia (he even has a reference in Marth already, Marth's white palette is supposed to be a reference to Leif, who is the only lord in the franchise to wear predominantly white armor)

Eirika from Sacred Stones (her sword Sieglinde is actually the closest sword of the main lords in the franchise to actually resemble a rapier in structure, thus making her a perfect candidate to use Shield Breaker in a moveset she also fits the emptional aspect of the archetype better than any other character)

Seliph from Genealogy (whose Tyrfing is actually practically interchangable with Marth's Falchion in appearance and he's another pollyanna.)

Roys:

Alm from Gaiden/Echoes (he's a soldier first and foremost and trained as one, thus explaining a more guerilla fighting style of swordplay, the flames of his Falchion can be green)

Eliwood from Blazing (Roy's dad, Durandal can ignite, and -- tangent time -- my headcanon for why Roy fights so weird? His dad trained him. However, he trained him using Durandal, because he didn't want to abandon such a poweful weapon in uncertain times, and Durandal is a HUGE heavy weapon, so much so that Eliwood explicitly mentions that the sword is actually too big and heavy for his form of fencing training to wield it properly. So what do you do when the sword is too heavy to swing correctly? Uppercut with the bitch, swing wild, keep your movement economical and use the heft of the weapon to do all the heavy lifting for you. Like Roy's neutral A, dash attack, neutral B, up-tilt, etc. Boom. Bam. Gottem. Within Canon. His flames can be red.)

Rinkah from Fates (she is of the Flame Tribe and is attuned with fire magic. She's wild, strong, and "uncivilized" for the setting, from a culture that emphasises strength and solitude, and joins the player's army not really of her will. She fits the archetype to a T even without the uniquely magical sword, and her kanabo can absolutely be wielded effectively using Roy's sword strikes)

Ikes:

Hector from Blazing (big and strong, Ike was written as a callback to him. All of Ike's attacks could conceivably come from an axe as well as a sword, and since Ike was trained by an axe wielder that makes sense. Keep Armad's lighting, but don't change the flame effect. Lightning can start fires after all)

The Black Knight from Radiance (Wields Ike's sister sword, is his rival, trained by the same guy, change the flames to green)

Xander from Fates (he's the oldest brother and the physically strongest, wields an enormous broadsword, a stoic to his core, his flames can be black)

These are most of the ones I feel are relevant enough (see rule 4) to be in while also fitting the archetypes. This is mostly to keep fandom wars to a minimum, and to prevent the ensuing tusnami. The war. The fandom fight to end all fandom fights. You know it's coming. *I* know it's coming. You know what I'm talking about.

shudder

She approacheth. The coming tide.

God help us all.

everything happens for a reason part 11 - zuko x fem!reader

Memories, where'd you go?

part 10 | masterlist | part 12

a/n: alternative name for this fic: y/n gets a crush on every pretty girl she meets. yue, katara, and now suki. she can't help it (and she questions why they're all connected to sokka in some way lmaoo)

anyways, this is kind of filler but it establishes some more with relationships and finallyyy gets us into ba sing se at the end. i know it's a lil annoying because there's a lot of episode-to-text writing, but i promise it'll get more freeform as it goes on

also i know that i just posted something yesterday but i have literally zero patience. like i cant hold chapters i have to post them as soon as i write them loll

wc: 5.3k

warning(s): some feels over zuko as per usual, but overall a pretty tame chapter

chapter title comes from memories by panic! at the disco!

Zuko could barely sleep anymore.

He didn’t know when his life became so complicated, but he wasn’t a fan of it.

Back when it was just him, his crew, and the open sea — it was simple. He had a job, a straightforward mission. Find the Avatar, capture him, return home to the Fire Nation and regain his honor.

Now, the waters were more muddied than ever. Now on the run from the Fire Nation just like the boy he was chasing, all he really felt nowadays was anger.

Angry at the world for setting him on this path, angry at the Avatar for refusing to see what was necessary, his sister and her friends for turning against him, angry at the waterbender for making things so damn hard.

He didn’t want to hurt her. A part of him wished that she had never come back into his life, if it meant he wouldn’t have to constantly be fighting against her. He hated himself for the thought, but maybe it would have been easier for her to remain a memory of a lover than his active enemy.

Late at night, when he was reaching fruitlessly for sleep that would never come, he saw her face. The carefree energy from their childhood morphed into the shock and disappointment from both the North and their fight with Azula, and…

It made him wonder what in Agni had happened to them.

He—

He didn’t know. The way he felt about her, it was different than anything he had experienced before. Zuko didn’t know what it was, but he understood that it was special. And now… it felt like he had just thrown it all away.

Zuko couldn’t stop thinking about what had happened with her in that town — what he had done to her.

He had burned her to try and get to the Avatar, and he hadn’t even allowed a glance back at the damage he had done. He had heard her cry out in pain, pain he had caused, and he didn’t even look back.

What had happened to them? What had happened to him?

He kept telling himself that the mission was the only thing that mattered. And it was, wasn’t it? Capture the Avatar, regain his honor, get his old life back and finally be enough for his father. He didn’t have time for friends, or for these feelings he had, or— or for anything but capturing the Avatar. Because the Avatar was the key to everything, to his honor, and that was all that mattered.

But now…

Now, he didn’t know what he was supposed to do. He didn’t know what was right, or what was wrong, or what path was the one he had to take.

Zuko just wished things could be like they used to be.

~~~~~~~~~~

She didn’t really know when everything had become a mess again.

It all started out fine, like it usually did. Toph had become fully integrated into the group, any past squabbles put to rest in the name of a stronger friendship emerging between all five of them. Katara continued to work on Aang’s waterbending (oftentimes Y/N joining them in their sessions) while Toph slowly but steadily beat earthbending into him — literally.

They had all been working hard for so long that, by decree of Aang, it was ‘vacation time’. They would all get to pick out places they wanted to spend as a break, and after it was over they would get back to work.

Aang had chosen some sort of field with musical groundhogs, and Y/N had opted to revisit an Earth Kingdom village that she had passed through on her journey to the North. Sokka had complained the whole time about how they were ‘wasting valuable planning time’, but had finally conceded after the promise of ‘all the planning his heart could desire’ from Katara after their mini-vacations were over.

Y/N was actually feeling somewhat relaxed for once, but she had forgotten the golden rule — never let your guard down. Everytime she let her guard down, something bad happened without fail. So it shouldn’t have been any surprise with what happened in the desert.

Because after one trip to the Misty Palms Oasis and a journey into the desert with a professor to a long lost library, Appa had been taken by desert raiders.

It was… less than favourable. During their escape from the library, Professor Zei had insisted on staying behind, and now the five of them were stuck in the middle of the desert with no way out and zero guidance. Add some brewing tensions between Aang and Toph because of her being there when Appa was taken, and they had a recipe for a huge disaster.

And a disaster they had. Multiple disasters, actually.

There was only so much she and Katara could do to hold the group together, but by some miracle, they made it out of the desert with only one Avatar State mishap.

(And an incident with cactus juice, but… she didn’t really want to talk about that.)

....at least they had the information about the Eclipse. That was about the only thing keeping her together at the moment.

They had to get the information to the Earth King so they could formulate an attack with his warriors, but without Appa, they had to resort to more traditional methods of travel. Add in one passport problem, and that was how Y/N found herself braving the Serpent’s Pass alongside a refugee family with a baby on the way.

It was… intimidating, to say the least. Despite being surrounded by her element, Y/N didn’t feel any safer from the challenge that faced them. She took a deep breath, trying to tamp down on her fear the way her mother had taught her, as she followed the group, but her thoughts were soon interrupted.

“Hey.” She turned to see who the voice belonged to and was greeted by the girl that had teased Sokka early — Suki, if she remembered correctly. “I haven’t seen you around; are you with the Avatar or that family?”

“I’m with Aang,” Y/N explained. “I’m from the North, and they offered me a spot with them after they helped us defend our tribe against the Fire Nation. I’ve been with them ever since.” Suki nodded as they settled into a comfortable stride.

“That’s cool. Are you a waterbender?”

She gestured to her waterskin and smiled. “Yeah. I’ve been training with Aang and Katara ever since I left.” Y/N then turned her gaze back to Suki, raising an inquisitive brow. “Your makeup — what’s it for? I heard you talking about the Kyoshi Warriors back there; is that some kind of thing with Avatar Kyoshi?”

Suki grinned, her every expression heightened by the sharp reds and blacks above her eyes. “We’re a group of all-female warriors that use the teachings of Avatar Kyoshi and her partner Rangi to defend our home and the place she founded, Kyoshi Island. I’m the leader of our village section.”

“Wow,” she murmured, her eyes falling to the ground for a moment before finding their way back up to the warrior. “That’s really cool. You’re really cool.”

She laughed and shrugged. “Thanks. I’ve been training as a warrior for almost my whole life, so it just comes naturally. I like being able to protect people, and there’s no better way to pay back my home for all it’s done for me like protecting the whole village.”

“Wow,” she repeated with a small laugh of her own. “That’s really brave. I gotta say, I’m kinda jealous — I would love to see what would happen if Master Pakku met you all. Katara literally had to beat the sexism out of him in order to train to be a master.”

Suki chuckled. “Sounds like what I had to do with Sokka. Guess it’s a thing with Water Tribe guys, huh?”

At the mention of Sokka, she internally laughed. There had to be some kind of connection between the two of them, the way their interests kept aligning. “Sokka… he’s had it hard. I can’t blame him that much for any kind of attitude he had before he met you. Pakku, on the other hand? He had to have had something better to do than fight teenage girls.”

“You would think so, right?” Suki agreed. “And Sokka… I know. He’s got a heart of gold underneath all that, he just needed a little push to get it out.” As Y/N glanced over at the girl, noticing a slight pink tint under the white makeup, she gasped.

“La’s fins, are you two a thing?” she exclaimed with a grin.

Suki flushed even harder as she suddenly became very interested in the ocean around her, but she couldn’t help the smile on her lips. “No! I mean— yes— but… but—” she stopped to gather her thoughts before making eye contact again with a sheepish smile. “We’re not… really a thing, but… I do like him a lot. I didn’t really think I was going to see him again after they left the island, so this is really nice.”

“Then what are you waiting for?” Y/N asked. “I can already tell that he cares about you — have you seen how careful he’s being with you?”

“Well—” Whatever kind of excuse Suki would’ve made up was interrupted by a rock falling out just under Than, one of the refugees they were with, saved in the nick of time with Toph’s earthbending.

“I’m okay!” he reassured, but no sooner had the words left his mouth before the Fire Nation ship in the distance started firing.

“They’ve spotted us!” Sokka yelled. “Let’s go, let’s go!”

Aang flicked his glider open and deflected the blast, and Katara grabbed Y/N’s hand as they all began to run. Another blast rocked the mountain, causing several boulders to fall just above Suki. Y/N didn’t even have time to shout out a warning before Sokka tackled her out of the way, but it was ultimately more of Toph’s quick earthbending that saved him.

“Suki, are you okay?” Sokka brushed dust and pebbles off of her uniform as he examined her, and once he was satisfied he grabbed her hand and helped her up. “You have to be more careful! Come on!”

As the two of them caught up to Y/N and Katara, she gave Suki a knowing look. The warrior only blushed once again and glanced away.

After hours of navigating the pass, they were only about halfway through. Sokka made the executive decision to set up camp for the night to give everyone time to rest, and then they would get up at the crack of dawn to finish their trip. It only took a few minutes for Y/N to get a fire going, and soon everyone had settled in with their sleeping bags. Sokka got up from his spot as Suki wandered closer to the edge, and Katara nudged Y/N with her shoulder.

“Hey. How are your hands doing?”

“They’re fine,” she answered with a small smile, flipping her hands over as proof. Where there were once red burn scars on her palms only tiny white marks remained — one benefit to healing via waterbending was that most injuries were able to fade away completely after enough sessions. Her burns weren’t very serious and she was able to heal them almost immediately, so both her and Katara were sure that the marks would be completely gone soon.

The mental scars wouldn’t fade as easily.

“That’s good. And you’re taking care of them, right? Like, you’re not beating up people while we’re not looking?”

Y/N grinned. “No. I think I’ll leave that to Toph.”

Katara chuckled and nodded, turning her hands over in a final examination before nodding. “Good,” she repeated. The silence between them, although comfortable, stretched out for a little too long before she spoke again, this time much quieter. “He did this to you.”

“Katara…”

“I know,” she said. “I know you probably don’t want to hear this from me, or really at all, but… I’m worried about you. Zuko isn’t good for you. Every time we’ve run into him, he’s hurt you. And you deserve so much more than that.”

“You don’t understand,” she countered. “You don’t know Zuko like I do. You weren’t there when I was. I know you think I’m insane for still believing in him, but I— I can’t let go of him, Katara. I know the Zuko I love is still in there somewhere, and I have to try and find it. For me and for him.”

Katara’s eyes were full of nothing but sympathy as she sighed — it was obvious she didn’t believe her words, but in true fashion she was still trying her best to be supportive.

“Okay. I don’t understand it, but… I don’t think I can change your mind.” Y/N chuckled sadly and nodded, Katara’s piercing gaze meeting her own once more. “It’s just… Why are you playing with fire when you know you’re going to get burned?”

And for once, Y/N didn’t have an answer for her friend.

~~~~~~~~~

The night went by quickly, which Y/N was thankful for. It meant that the nightmares didn’t last as long.

After a quick headcount to make sure no one had fallen off the pass overnight and an even quicker gathering of their things, they set off to finish their journey.

It went just as well as she had expected — a giant serpent, the namesake of the pass, had attacked them while crossing through an underwater section. Thankfully, she was able to aid Katara and Aang in defeating it with waterbending with no casualties

But in the wake of one disaster there was always another, and before Y/N knew it a baby had been born. She was mostly there for moral support — Katara had it all handled, and Y/N didn’t expect anything less.

But finally, they had made it across the pass, and they were so close to Ba Sing Se that she could almost smell the city air. Sadly, though, that meant it was time for them to part ways — Aang to find Appa, and Suki back to her warriors. After some sad but hopeful goodbyes with Aang, it was time to bid farewell to Suki.

“Are you sure you can’t travel a little longer with us?” Y/N questioned, apparently not above pleading to try and get the girl to stay. “You’re— you’re amazing, and we’d really love to have you with us.”

“I can’t even imagine what travelling with the Avatar would be like,” she smiled, causing Y/N to get her hopes up for just a moment before they fell back down. “But I can’t stay. I have to get back to the Kyoshi Warriors.”

Y/N sighed, her gaze falling slightly downcast. “I get that. I just really wish you could stay. Or that I could meet your warriors. You seriously don’t know how cool you are, Suki.”

“Well, if you’re ever in town on Kyoshi Island, find us. I’m sure we’ll be able to work something out and do you one better than just meeting them all,” she said with a grin. “I think it’d be pretty cool to have the first waterbending Kyoshi Warrior.”

Y/N was unable to prevent the heat rushing to her cheeks as she smiled shyly, once again averting eye contact. “That would be amazing. I’ll have to find my way back there after the war.”

Suki bumped shoulders with her, causing a startled laugh to spill from her lips. “We’d love to have you.”

“Wait, why does it sound like you’re saying goodbye to her?” Sokka questioned as he walked up to the two of them. Y/N winked at Suki and gestured at him with her head, walking off before Suki could protest to find Katara.

The conversation the two girls were sharing was an extremely thinly veiled excuse to eavesdrop on the lovebirds, and when they kissed Y/N actually had to hold back a scream.

Sokka deserved this. She knew how much he beat himself up over every little thing that went wrong, and it was about time he got to relax even for a moment. She only hoped that Suki would be in their corner of the world sooner rather than later.

What could she say? She was already fantasizing about life as a Kyoshi Warrior.

~~~~~~~~~

Although they had parted ways, they soon found themselves reunited with Aang to stop yet another Fire Nation threat.

“For the love of Kuruk,” Y/N murmured as she stared into the distance, her eyes wide at the sight of a large mechanical drill. “That was Ty Lee who just took down all those soldiers. And if she’s here, Mai and Azula are with her too. Guys, It’s one thing to stop this drill, it’s another thing to take those three down with it.”

“The question is, how do we do it?” Aang questioned.

“Why can nothing ever be easy?” Sokka lamented. His gaze remained trained on the drill for a moment before he realized theirs were on him. “Why are you all looking at me?”

“You’re the idea guy,” Aang said.

“Wait, so I’m the only one who can ever come up with a plan?” he protested. “That’s a lot of pressure!”

“And also the complaining guy,” Katara muttered, drawing a chuckle out from Y/N.

“Now that part I don’t mind,” Sokka admitted.

“Well, Sokka— you were a huge help in the North, and you figured out a way to defeat the Fire Nation during that eclipse at the library! Plus, there’s all that stuff that Katara told me you did before I joined.” She patted him on the back. “If anyone can figure out how to take that thing down, it’s you.”

He shrugged nonchalantly, his ego only slightly bolstered. “...okay. I think I can do it.”

“That’s the spirit!” she said with a smile.

Unfortunately, that smile faded as a young guard came running up to the wall. “Excuse me, Avatar and friends — I’ve heard that you’ve dealt with that… that pink girl down there before.” They nodded and he continued. “It would do us a great deal of help if you could come down and look at our injured soldiers, then.”

Y/N and Katara nodded in unison and started to follow the guard, the remaining three trailing after them. They ended up inside the wall, in what looked like an infirmary of sorts with all the cots and soldiers lying around, and the two waterbenders exchanged looks.

“You know what to do?” Katara asked.

Y/N hummed in acknowledgment, and they both knelt down next to separate cots. “This definitely looks like Ty Lee’s work,” she murmured as she bent water up from the pot and molded it over the man’s arm.

“What’s wrong with him?” the general questioned. “He doesn’t look injured.”

“His chi is blocked,” Katara explained. “Who did this to you?”

“Two girls ambushed us,” the soldier said, moving his arm as he regained feeling. “One of them hit me with a bunch of quick jabs and suddenly I couldn't earthbend anymore and I could barely move. Then she cartwheeled away.”

Katara sighed as she bent the water back into the pot. “You were right, Y/N. That was Ty Lee — she doesn’t look dangerous, but she knows the human body and its weak point. It’s like she takes you down from the inside.”

As if struck by lightning, Sokka lit up. “Oh, oh, oh! What you just said — that’s how we’re going to take down the drill; the same way Ty Lee took down all those earthbenders!”

“By hitting its pressure points!” Toph exclaimed with a grin.

The breakthrough brought a steely determination to Aang’s features as he looked out into the distance. “We’ll take it down from the inside.”

~~~~~~~~~

Like everything they did, it seemed so simple on paper. But now that she was actually inside the drill, it felt a lot more nerve wracking. Toph opted to stay outside where she could see and try to slow down the drill with the earth at her disposal, which left the four of them to somehow take it down from the inside.

Sokka led them through a hallway with a myriad of valves and pipes as he thought out loud. “I need a plan of this machine — some schematics that show what the inside looks like. Then we can find its weak points.”

“Where are we gonna get something like that?” Aang asked.

Sokka thought for a moment before he took his machete out and hacked a valve off a pipe. Y/N instinctively took a step back and shielded her face from the hot steam. “What are you doing?” she cried. “Someone’s gonna hear us!”

“That’s the point!” he exclaimed. “A machine this big needs engineers to run it, and when something breaks—”

“Someone will come down to fix it!” Katara finished with a smile at Aang, a sentiment the boy returned happily.

It was surprisingly easy to take down the engineer once he arrived — with a little bit of frozen mist on Katara’s end, they had the plans they needed. Sokka’s expertise combined with the blueprints got them to the beginning of the outer shell.

“Wow,” Sokka muttered. “It looks a lot thicker than it does in the plans. We’re gonna have to work pretty hard to cut through that.”

Katara crossed her arms. “What’s this ‘we’ stuff? The three of us are gonna have to do all the work.”

“Look, I’m the plan guy!” Sokka explained with a gesture to himself. “You three are the ‘cut up stuff with waterbending’ guys. Together, we’re Team Avatar!”

Katara and Aang looked wholly unamused while Y/N chuckled. “Team Avatar. I like it.”

“Thank you,” he smiled. “At least someone appreciates my genius.”

“Tui’s gills, why do you have to keep boosting his ego?” Katara complained. “Let’s just get this done before it gets worse.”

The three of them got in position — Katara and Aang on opposite sides so they could pass the stream of water between them, and Y/N making the point of the triangle to work on the other side on her own. They were hoping it would be more efficient being able to cut through both sides at the same time, but it was proving to be much more difficult than they had imagined — halfway through the three of them were already exhausted.

By some feat of strength they were able to completely cut through the brace, but their hard work didn’t pay off in quite the way they had imagined — when the beam only shifted a few inches she groaned.

“Oh, you have got to be kidding me,” she breathed as she wiped sweat off of her forehead.

“At this rate,” Katara paused to inhale deeply, “we won’t do enough damage before the drill reaches the wall.”

“I don’t know how many more of those I have in me,” Aang said sadly.

A large creak suddenly rang throughout the large chamber, and they all looked up for the source.

“Did you hear that?” Sokka asked, already backing up to make an exit. “We took it down! We gotta get out of here, fast!”

Just as they reached the door on the other side, a crackle followed by the sound of a man’s voice dashed their hopes. “Congratulations, crew. The drill has made contact with the wall of Ba Sing Se. Start the countdown to victory!”

A collective silence hung in the air between them, the threat now even more imminent as their situation sunk in. Mai and Ty Lee had proven effective in taking down any Earth Kingdom threat posed at them, and despite Toph’s skill they knew she couldn’t take down something like this on their own.

They either had to figure out a way to destroy this drill, or the Fire Nation was going to make it into the city.

Sokka ran back over to the brace and pushed against it, putting all his strength into the feat but to no avail. “Come…. on! Move!”

Katara started pacing around in a small circle, crossing her arms again as she tried to think of something. “This is bad. This is really bad.”

“Sokka, that’s not going to work!” Y/N didn’t mean to snap, but the grinding of metal on metal combined with her nervousness got to her. She sighed and ran her hand over her face. “I— I’m sorry. But it’s still not going to work.”

He groaned as he leaned against the brace. “We’re putting everything we have into busting these things, but it’s taking too long!”

Suddenly, Aang jumped up from the ground with stars in his eyes. “Maybe we don’t need to cut all the way through! Toph — she’s been teaching me that you shouldn’t put a hundred percent of your energy in any one strike. Sokka, get in a fighting stance.”

Sokka complied and as Aang talked through his points, he demonstrated it on Sokka. “You've got to be quick and accurate. Hit a series of points and break your opponent's stance. And when he's reeling back, you deliver the final blow. His own weight becomes his downfall, literally.”

As Sokka fell over from the attack, Katara lit up. “So we just need to weaken the braces instead of cutting all the way through—”

“—then I can go to the top of this thing and deliver the final blow!” Aang finished.

Y/N helped Sokka up from the ground, his spirits not dampened at all. “Then boom! This whole thing goes down!”

“Then what are we waiting for?” Y/N asked, flexing her fingers to refresh them for all the bending she was going to have to do. “Aang, Katara and I can handle the braces. Focus on getting up to the top before anyone sees you.”

He nodded and they all met each other with determined eyes. “Everyone inside that wall, the whole world — they’re all counting on us.”

“Here, take this. You need this more than I do. ” Katara took her waterskin off and handed it to Aang. “Good luck. And be careful.”

Y/N noticed a slight blush on her cheeks and she had to hold back her smile. That was definitely something she was going to tease her friend about later — when they weren’t trying to stop the Fire Nation from breaking into Ba Sing Se.

“I will,” he assured. Aang slung the strap of the waterskin around his shoulder and took off, and Y/N and Katara got to work breaking through the rest of the braces.

With the knowledge that they only had to cut through half of each column and the revitalization that came from having a plan, their work went by much quicker. Just when they finished the final brace, it all went wrong.

“Good work, Team Avatar!” Sokka cheered. “Now we— Y/N, duck!”

She didn’t question Sokka as she immediately dropped to the ground, something she was immensely thankful for as a blast of blue fire seared past her. Her eyes snapped up to the source of the attack and narrowed in recognition.

“Of course they’re here,” she growled as she pulled herself back up. “We gotta go, now!”

Katara and Sokka nodded and they all started running. Bringing up the rear, Y/N was able to hear Azula’s words right before they split off into an intersection:

“Follow them! I’m going to find the Avatar.”

Sure enough, when she allowed a glance back, Mai and Ty Lee were closing in on them. She flicked open the cap of her waterskin and bent some out, managing to freeze it at just the right moment to block the incoming daggers from Mai. Still running, she melted it quickly and let it fall to the ground before freezing it again, creating some ice on the ground that would hopefully give them a few more seconds of leeway.

“That should give us some time!” she yelled as they turned a corner, finally turning her attention back to the path in front of them. “Any idea how we’re gonna get out of this thing?”

“Maybe!” Sokka yelled back, slowing to a stop as they came to a dead end, a large hatch the only thing at their disposal. He started tugging on the wheel in an attempt to open it, and when Y/N joined in they were able to wrench it open.

“Slurry pipeline?” Katara frowned as she read the sign on the wall and looked at Sokka. “What does that mean?”

“It’s rock and water mixed together,” he explained as they looked into the rushing liquid underneath the hatch. “It means it’s our way out!”

Katara nodded and climbed in, Sokka following close after. The sound of metal footsteps got closer and closer, and Y/N ducked inside just as Mai’s knives clanked against the hatch. Never before had she been so happy to be floating in a stream of slurry.

The rest of their mission went by surprisingly easy — at least, on their end. All it took was some waterbending — earthbending, when Toph joined them — and encouragement from Sokka (though unappreciated by Katara). Whatever magic Aang was working at the top of the drill had done its job, because soon enough the drill had collapsed in on itself.

And now, they had reunited on the top of the wall overlooking the sunset. After the chaos that had been their day, it was nice to just relax for even a moment. And there was no better way to do so than with her friends.

“I just want to say, good effort out there, Team Avatar!” Sokka exclaimed as he threw an arm around Y/N’s shoulder.

“Enough with the ‘Team Avatar’ stuff,” Katara said dryly. “No matter how many times you say it, it’s not going to catch on.”

“I like it, Sokka,” Y/N smiled. “I’ve liked it this whole time.”

“You always appreciate my genius, Y/N,” he mused. “That’s why I appreciate you.” She laughed and leaned her head against his shoulder as he continued to list off names.

“How about… the Boomeraang squad! Eh? See, it’s good because it’s boomerang, and it has Aang in it—”

“Yeah Sokka,” Toph interrupted. “We got it.”

Aang grinned and scratched his head. “I kinda like that one.”

“The Aang Gang. Ooh, the Fearsome Fivesome!”

“You’re crazy,” Toph muttered as she walked away.

“Wait, Sokka—” Y/N pulled away from him and held up her pointer finger. “Aang Gang — what if we combine it, so it’s just the Gaang? But still with Aang’s name?”

And at that moment, Sokka looked more proud than ever. “Oh, you— you are a genius.”

“Oh, spirits,” Katara groaned. “Why do you insist on encouraging him?”

“You’re just jealous of our name-making abilities,” Sokka said haughtily.

She rolled her eyes but couldn’t stop herself from laughing. “You two are completely ridiculous, you know that? Let’s just get into the city before the trains stop running.”

Y/N and Sokka winked at each other as they all started walking, unable to keep the smile off of her face. She always thought it was amazing — they went through insane things every day, but at the end of it all she was always able to smile because of them. And as her gaze drifted towards the city in the distance, she hoped it would hold true.

She had no idea what Ba Sing Se had in store for her.

shit is gonna happen next chapter so i hope you all are READY bc im not

Bouquet

Corpse Husband x Reader (Female)

Warnings: None

Genre: FLUFF, RPF (Real Person Fic)

Summary: Having come clean about being single for a very long time now and considering herself completely out of the dating scene, Y/N’s confession is taken and responded to with a ton of kindness, especially from a special someone...

Requested by Anon. Hi hun! Thank you so much for your lovely request, it was such a joy to write! I’m so sorry for the long wait you had to go through but the fic is finally here and I hope you enjoy reading it! Love, Vy ❤

I roll out of bed with little to no desire to start my day. We haven’t got a scheduled stream for today and the clouds glooming in the sky seem to be promising rain so really what do I have to get up for except that it’s a rule society installed?

Just kidding, I’m basically stalling and that’s all.

So what happened was the streamer gang and I were playing Among Us last night and our conversation during the pause between rounds somehow swerved into relationship territory. I stayed quiet the majority of if not all the time because I had no valid input to offer.

If you know me you know I’m not one of the performers on the dating scene. I have never really confirmed it with my fans - well, until last night, that is - but I bet they have picked up on that fact considering I’ve been on YouTube for around a decade and have never had a partner. That being said, I’d have to also mention that I have in fact dated but someone but it was before my YouTube era started. Me choosing this career path, which back then was just a hobby, had nothing to do with the relationship ending but it still motivated me to not to actively look for a relationship while I’m still focused on my career. It’s too much work, too much stress and requires a lot of balance I most certainly either don’t have or I don’t have the energy to put in balancing my romantic and professional lives. Luckily, no one’s ever pressured me into finding a significant other, not yet at least, so no societal pressure for me!

But I gotta admit I felt real awkward admitting all this last night.

“Hey Y/N what do you think? You’ve been awfully quiet?“ Rae asks, causing me to jolt in my seat from where I’ve been reading my chat for the past five minutes, my mic muted.

I quickly unmute to reply, blushing ever so slightly, “Um, sorry I was reading my chat. What do I think about what?”

“The gesture of giving flowers to your significant other, is it romantic or a waste of money and plant murder?“ Rae explains, still managing to catch me off-guard with her question.

I ponder what my response should be for a little bit before deciding to level it to a neutral level where I almost sound indifferent, “It is in fact plant murder basically and artificial flowers would definitely be a better gift - plus they’ll last longer.”

“Mhmm yeah that’s true.“ Poki agrees with me, “But there’s still the question of whether it’s a romantic gesture or not. I personally don’t think it’s overrated or cheesy, I actually quite like it. What about you, Y/N?“

And now she’s got me in a real trap that I can’t wiggle out of without speaking my truth. I don’t know where this sudden anxiety around the subject came from but it now resides within me rent free and makes me feel self-conscious and embarrassed of the confession I’m inevitably make.

“Um, I wouldn’t know for certain, I’ve never received flowers myself...“ I say sheepishly, cringing at the sound of my own voice, “It’s not like I’ve dated plenty of people and the one guy I did date wasn’t really romantic or anything, I mean - we were teenagers, after all. But when I think about it in theory I think I’d like the gesture: it’s thoughtful, plus you get a temporary but beautiful piece of décor out of it.“

I’m gonna hope I didn’t sound too pitiful or desperate. Of course I’m not gonna check afterward on the stream cause I’d rather live in the illusion of having sounded humorous rather than be given the confirmation that I didn’t.

“Wait, wait, wait, did you date your last boyfriend like a decade ago?“ Corpse is now the one talking and that makes me feel even more anxious. This is not the impression one would want to give to their crush, is it? Oh well, no turning back now.

“Correct.“ I reply with a laugh that I hope didn’t sound as nervous as it was.

“And you’ve never, like in your whole life, received flowers from someone?“ He sounds astonished which sort of makes me want to shrink up in my shell like a turtle. Too bad I don’t have a shell though. I’m genuinely thinking of the option to rip the router out of the outlet right now to save me the troubles but I’m not that immature. I’m surprised I’m even reacting this way - this topic doesn’t usually bother me at all but now for some reason I’m red as a tomato and shrinking in my chair.

I know what the obvious answer is but I’d rather die than admit to it.

“Yeah, yeah, I know it sounds bad but I really don’t care.“ I make an attempt at changing the subject, swerving it back to the main topic rather than my lack of a love life, “I do, in fact, find the gesture sweet - it adds vibrancy to the relationship just like the flowers would add vibrancy and color to the space they’re put in.“

“Oh my gosh, that’s such a cool analogy!“ Rae gushes, “You’re totally right, it might be an old trick, but it’s aged like fine wine.“

Phew, God bless you Rae.

“Exactly, exactly.“ Corpse agrees as well but I don’t think he’s fully heard what Rae said since he sounds to have fallen in deep thought.

At least I got away with it with only making a SLIGHT nervous wreck of myself.

Yikes, was that horrible, though I don’t people will remember it for long. Sure, my fans have sent me thousands of lovely messages and pictures of bouquets and will maybe continue sending them for another day or two - which I highly appreciate, don’t get me wrong. I’m severely touched by this gesture of theirs and it almost makes me glad I finally ‘came clean’ about my romance-less life - however, it’ll fade overtime. I mean, who the heck cares if I’m single or not?

As I pour the milk over my cheerios which I’ve been snacking on dry for the past half hour as I rifled through the many notifications clogging up my lock screen, I hear the doorbell ring. I’m understandably puzzled by this, seeing as how I never get visitors so that doorbell rings only when I’ve ordered something, be it takeout or a random item off Amazon. However, I can’t remember ordering anything, at least not anything that should be arriving at the moment or even anytime soon - that glow-in-the dark curtain isn’t supposed to arrive until next week. I make my way to the door, unbothered by the fact I’m still in my pajamas, and take a look through the peephole.

It’s a delivery guy...and he happens to be holding a huge-ass bouquet.

“What the...“ I mutter to myself as I unlock and swing open the door in the blink of an eye, “Hi?“

“Hi there, are you Y/N L/N?“ The delivery guy, who I’ve seen many times before and who I’m on pretty friendly terms with, asks me jokingly, sending a wink my way.

“I sure am.“ I reply, my gaze fixated on the breathtaking flowers he’s holding, “But those can’t be for me, that’s for sure.“

He fishes looks at his clipboard one more time, nodding before he looks back at me, “I double and triple checked, Y/N, they’re for you. Here, have a look if you don’t believe me.” He turns the clipboard for me to see and he is actually telling the truth. I mean, I doubt he’d have any reason to lie to me but mix-ups happen all the time.

“Um, ok thanks. Sorry for the halt, it’s just...I’d hate to be the recipient of the flowers meant for another girl.” I apologize as I take the bouquet for him, still in awe of the fact I’m the one it was made and meant for and sent to.

I say a quick ‘bye’ to the delivery guy before practically running inside to inspect this bouquet for a card from the sender. I have my guesses: it has to be someone who was present during the stream last night and someone who knows my address. Hopefully it’s someone from my friend group and not a fan who watched the stream and just happens to know my address. I’d still appreciate the gesture, but I’d also install security cameras if that was the case.

Something about the color scheme of the flowers - pink and black - gives me Rae vibes since she constantly teases me about my aesthetics contradicting each other. But then again, Poki does it too so it could be her as well....

Oh...OH GOD IT’S NEITHER OF THEM

~ ~ ~

I’ve been sitting here, keeping myself a safe distance from my phone so I’m not the first one to send her a text. So I don’t ask if she got what I sent her. So I don’t ask what she thought of it, how the bouquet looks in her living room, how it smells, how it makes her feel. I have so many questions so that phone is best off at a major distance from me. I’m the one who’s better off with such a huge distance between me and the device, to be perfectly honest.

Was it a bad idea? Should I have slept on it - or just thought about it longer cause sleep and I don’t get along? Should I have at least waited a day or two? Should I-

My phone vibrates with a notification and I practically fly to it from across the room, grabbing it and unlocking it asap. My heart sinks and takes off like a rocket simultaneously when I see I’ve been tagged in Y/N’s Instagram story. I nervously tap the notification that sends me to the picture of the bouquet I sent her with some text written over it.

“Thank you, Romeo ;)“

Somehow that one sentence answers all those aforementioned questions.

Is this what people refer to as butterflies in one’s stomach? Cause it feels significantly more like a crush...oh wait.

I made a whole AU in my head yesterday and I'm debating whether or not to invest in it but chances are, knowing me, I'm gonna do it anyway-

Please ignore the absolute MESS that this is- it is completely disorganized 😭🖐

So basically I replaced the Arcane Order with my own OC I literally just made for this specific reason as the villain.

His name is Pyelan, (pronounced PIE-LAN) and he's an old god of peace- very powerful and ancient. However, he's grown corrupted and angry at humanity for the amount of needless war and death in their history.

He sees the pollution of Earth and the sickness, and takes it upon himself to fix it, having gone mad after the eons he spent alone.

The humans stopped worshipping him, that is why they have no peace, they've destroyed everything, in his mind the only option is to create a whole new Earth with a new species that would do better.

He seeks The Arcane Order, knowing who they are (having once been friends in ancient times) and means to have them open the genesis seals and wipe out humanity forever.

(I'm taking what Tobias said in the interrogation scene in ROTT and running- the bit abt The Arcane Order being the creators of everything.)

(Also, I like to think each of them had a hand in different species, Bellroc creating trolls and changelings, Skrael creating humans and goblins and Nari creating the animals of the Earth- with input from eachother of course. Though I'm still hammering out the details)

In this AU, The Arcane Order do not hate humanity, are more so disappointed and eager to fix the imbalance so humanity and all beings could return to their lives.

They understood his plight, but told him that because they created humans, they would find a way to restore balance without killing them off.

This throws him into a vengeful rage- could they not see that their humans have failed them? Could they not see the damage humanity has done to their planet?

If the gods who created this world were too stupid to see the truth and fix it themselves, then he would do it.

During an opportune moment, Pyelan steals Nari away and holds her hostage- this is where The Arcane Order enlists the help of their old friend's apprentice, Hisirdoux Casperan.

Douxie involves the Trollhunter and his merry band of armored children and various peoples, and there ensues many scenes of Bellroc and Skrael interacting with everyone.

So Pyelan pretends to be remorseful, tells them to meet them at the roundhouse to return Nari to them.

Obviously its a trick, but he still manages to gain control over all three of them and releases the titans- now its up to Jim and everyone else to save creation, and the creators.

Steve does NOT get pregnant but instead, the 'seventh kiss' is an engagement, meaning he would become king- a huge responsibility he's not sure he can fulfill. (Possible subplot about Steve gaining true confidence in himself and a tear-jerking scene where he looks up at the sky and hopes his mentor is proud of him after the final battle.)

Claire, Douxie, Archie, his father and Blinky still go to find the Khronosphere- it was Bellroc who told them to find it this time, their last words before they succumbed to Pyelan's mind control.

Archie chooses to stay with Douxie, there would be a heart wrenching scene where he and his father says quick goodbyes as the wall seals.

"Take care of eachother," he says, "I love you, son."

Varvatos still comes down in the bigass robot, but this time he has a co-pilot and its Zadra.

They actually manage to take Bellroc down, and Jim insists on going up and talking to Bellroc in hopes of breaking Pyelan's control.

"Is this what you truly want? C'mon!" he says as he battles against them upon crumbling molten rock. "You are who you make yourself, don't let him think for you!"

Bellroc is freed from Pyelan's control, discovers that they had been tricked by Pyelan and that Skrael and Nari were still in danger- they go ballistic.

Zoe's called in by Douxie to aid them, and she and Krel pair up as the designated tech nerds and they get a whole scene with some crazy cool akiridion tech/mechromancer wizard shit that frees Skrael from Pyelan's control- two down, one to go.

Claire is ofc a badass, portals Bellroc's titan to Arcadia and then shit really hits the fan.

In this AU, Toby and Steve fight alongside Jim against Pyelan, Strickler doesn't die but instead tends to a severely wounded Nomura with Barbara.

Pyelan uses Nari and her titan against the other two, Bellroc and Skrael are trying desperately to not hurt her too badly, but its not going so well.

Varvatos and Zadra's robot goes down against Pyelan, who ends up fighting Jim, Toby and Steve directly.

Instead of Toby dying, Jim sacrifices himself one last time as the Trollhunter, defeating Pyelan but taking himself along in the process.

This prompts everyone else to make a unanimous decision to use the Khronoshpere to save Jim.

The Trollhunter has saved countless lives, and now its their turn to save the Trollhunter.

Rewinding back to when Pyelan first set the trap for Bellroc and Skrael, they defeat him much much quicker this time.

Everyone knows what his next move will be as they all retained their memories, and Jim is safe.

The balance is slowly but surely fixing itself as time goes on, The Arcane Order are dedicated and often visit Arcadia to take breaks or to enlist help for certain missions.

Steve becomes king, ruling alongside Aja and later in their adulthood, they have children. (with much better designs)

Barbara and Strickler get married, and later so do Claire and Jim, and when I tell you that wedding was a sight to behold.

Toby is much more confident in himself, and is known all throughout Arcadia as a hero, The Trollhunters partner- Keeper of Peace.

"I'll do a much better job than the last guy, trust me."

All in all theres lots of things I gotta figure out for this AU, but its purely for self-indulgence because I can't stand the ending of ROTT. And also I was told all headcanons are canon now so I am doing what I must

#tales of arcadia #trollhunters #krel tarron #aja tarron #varvatos vex #steve palchuk #toby domzalski #jim lake junior #claire nuñez #Barbara Lake #walter strickler #skrael of the north wind #bellroc keeper of the flame #nari of the eternal forest #hisirdoux casperan #toa zoe #toa wizards #toa au #rott rewrite -kinda
