Still thinking how in middleschool my classmates were like "you know, you won't remember the things you learned for the history test as an adult anyway"
WRONG!
I still remember main causes and conclusions to major political events and can use that knowledge to interpret and analyze current political trends, and to better understand ruling trends in society.
And what are you doing? Telling that you didn't know there was a Roman empire and a holy Roman empire as a sort of amazing historical fact? Pathetic. We covered that in 7th grade.
It's not my fault you couldn't comprehend the material in any meaningful way for yourself. Maybe I shouldn't have given you my notes for you to just learn without understanding but that was a bitch move to try to say that studying for history tests were useless. I don't care what you say to yourself to justify your failures in your head, but don't bring me into this.

as i was awake in the middle of the night for like 2 hours bc i felt sick i had more somewhat random totk thoughts
one being that i really hate how raurus response to concerned zelda is, after sonia died in that almost funny how little impactful it was way, "im sure you are here for a reason" (actually, i hate how often this sentence is used in general to .. idk i guess its supposed to be inspiritational???)
bc what does that mean actually? him saying that to someone who got there absolutely by accident really just sounds like "i dont care go figure it out yourself bc i dont want to think about anything concerning you or your troubles lol" i guess its meant to sound like OOOOH fate has BROUGHT you here bc you have to furfill a role you dont know yet (spoiler its being a sacrifice girl with no personality) and besides me hating the 'inescapable fate' trope in general (at least the way its usually done in these games, which is not to struggle against it but willingly accept whatever you are told and pretend thats good) its really jsut goddamn boring and is really only an excuse to well .. ignore her and her trouble; shouldnt you, if you were actually such a cool guy like the game wants me to believe so bad, do everything in your power to get zelda back to her own world before shes pulled even further into the war you caused now that her only ""mentor"" that could help her get more use of her pretty much useless sudden powers is gone too?? i know shes basically dead wife sonia replacement (can of worms ugh) but it still grinds my gears whenever i think of that cutscene, bc i cant help but hear it as the lamest excuse in existence to not care about her and just kinda .. see what happens which in this case means leave zelda completely on her her own since both rauru and mineru die as well (honestly shouldnt rauru have thought about like .. any plan to defeat gan besides dying himself, given hes the oh so cool and goodest guy king whos only mistake was not stabbing gan the second he stepped into their kathedral castle thing, like even if you had a plan it can still fail but it seemed like he just kinda went in with a handful of people that didnt seem to know each other at all, never got names or faces -or unique voices for that matter- to fight gan face to face inlcuding the girl that came from a different time and had nothing to do with any of this conflict and couldnt even really control her sudden new powers just seems pretty stupid)
thought 2
how totk really feels like botw but for the people who didnt like shiekah tech, its not a sequel, its botw again, but version of only sonau, its like a pokemon game that had two versions but one has weirdly incoherent story and acts like the other never existed jsut as a whole its like retreading the same points but worse, all shiekah tech that was so integral to the world and had such a long history just vanishing and no one caring about any of it like it never happened, HELL the titans were called divine beasts in english but i guess they werent divine or important enough to keep around LOL champions WHO and isntead a never before seen or even heard of race for that matter showing up and planting their ass in every place the shiekah were before, dare i say it feels weirdly manipulative, like either them or some outside force erasing every fact about the ancient shiekah and replace them with sonau stuff bc they are the hot new shit now
this is a point that just doesnt stop bothering me, how the shiekah tech seemed so carefully designed and integrated into botws world and story, its a difficult to keep balance after all, integrating high tech stuff into a medieval setting, but they made it work! and then totk comes around and throws a bunch modern day tech into it puts some vague greenish stone filter on its exterior and call that even better more ancient tech; why did they even bother to make pottery inspired laser shooting spider legged robots so well integrated when they throw a car and rockets into the next game without a thought and call it a day, what was the fucking point
it feels like someone was dead set on having a set of legos thrown into the game it had no place in, if you want players to build whatever they want make a building game instead!! especially if you are just gonna throw it in with seemingly no consideration how out of place it feels togehter with the fACT THAT YOU ALREADY HAD AND ANCIENT HIGH TECH CIVILIZATION WITH A VERY DISTINCT AESTHETIC THAT WAS ALREADY WELL INTEGRATED INTO THE WORLD YOU ARE PLANNING TO REUSE WITH ALOT OF MYSTERY AND UNKOWN STUFF ABOUT THEM TO EXPLORE FURTHER YOU COULD HAVE USED!! but i guess they just "didnt want to play with you anymore" and that so much so that they went out of their way to erase every trace of it, i dont think the words shiekah tech are ever used in the game, and the purah pad and her towers just drive me more isnane bc they are the same shit but called different and also much worse, liek the purah pad isnt some more developed shiekah stone, no its a glorified camera with a teleport function and thats it
(i know i said this before but i really cant stand how obsessed every single NPC is with sonau shit, you get told to your face every second line of dialog that they are so cool and are so mysterious that it just makes me annoyed of them even more, the game is obsessed with shoving them everywhere and telling you over and over you too should obsess over them, they werent weird like that about the shiekah stuff in botw?? the biggesst talking point in botw was calamity ganon ..... which makes sense and in totk its like ... gan is mentioned what, in a newspaper article??? once???and then not even by name i think???)
aside from that big point which will never let me go, its also just .. its not moving forward anything, it actively walks BACK the progress that was made in botw, call me dumb but i dont really count moving one step up in the social roles of each race as a character development (for the side characters like the champions desc- ahem SAGES) but mainly zelda ... god how dirty she was done, totk pretty explicitely makes her regress any development she made in botw aside from she likes link uwu and some people like her too, but also not enough to notice that that weird zelda being all evil and weird isnt her (INLCUDING THE CHAMP- SAGES WHO YOU ARE SUPPOSEDLY FRIENDS WITH??? you dont have to be a genius to pick up on that my god, were you all given the mc dumbo potion or what)
she gets put back to square one, back into the little itty bitty princessy maiden role forced upon her by her royal parentage, this time rauru edition, back into a white little dress, back into the scared puppy eyed teenager, back into a situation she cant handle, back into losing everyone around her (tho honestly botw made me care more about rhoam than totk did about rauru), back into being forced to do a big sacrifice- but worse actually
in botw she went to FIGHT AND HOLD GANON IN THE CASTLE SO LINK HAD TIME TO RECOVER AND IT WOULDNT DESTROY THE LAND!! and you are telling me in totk rauru takes up her botw role and she bascially killed herself to ... restore the mastersword.
......... she ... she did that only to be a glorified version of the stone pedestal in the forest. and then she gets returned to normal itty bitty girly no problem via magic sparkle beam at the end and
DOESNT
EVEN
REMEMBER.
it really is just botw but worse, you even get yet another ghost king of hyrule to guide you around (rhoam did it better fight me ... we dont talk about the questionable choice to make himself darker skinned when posing as just some guy)
i honestly dont think i was ever truly taken aback by anythign that happened in botw, while in totk, the further i played, the more i had to fight with myself to keep the feeling of unease, disappointment and betrayal down
its such a god damn shame, totk should have stayed a DLC, i will forever mournfully dream of a game that explores more of the ancient shiekah, doesnt erase integral parts of the world, developes characters more instead of making them regress back and make them end up even less developed than at the start of the game, dives into buried secrets and mistakes of dark pages of history without giving into a weirldy nationalist(imperalisitc?) narrative and lets characters have some agency for once
if it werent for the yiga i might have actually considered refunding the game, just to be at peace with myself
anyway, aboslutely incoherent word vomit.

Rose Wilson (pre-flashpoint) Reading Guide :^)
Tumblr media
hiiiiii i need everyone to love her and talk about her all the time
this isnt everything, this i just what i think you need to get a pretty good idea of who she is <3 if you want more this list has most of her pre52 appearances (EDIT: and i have a post-flashpoint reading list now too!!!!)
all the important issues for her story are in bold and my personal favorites are italicized. in all honestly you can skip a lot of the bolded ones but i WILL take it personally if you skip my favorites
Deathstroke v1 #15 (her introduction!!)
Deathstroke v1 #45-46, #48, annual #4, #51
New Titans #126
Titans v1 #27, #33, #37
Teen Titans v3 #0.5
Teen Titans v3 #8, #12
Batgirl v1 #64
Nightwing v2 #112-115
Nightwing v2 #117
Teen Titans v3 #34, #40-41, #43-46, #57, #60, #71, #88, #90-91, #98-100
Batgirl v2 #2-4
Titans v2 #13, Teen Titans v3 #70, Vigilante v3 #6
Teen Titans v3 #77-78
Faces of Evil: Deathstroke
Teen Titans v3 #72-76 & #79-82 (second feature)
now unfortunately i love to explain myself so i gave my reasonings for everything i put under the cut:
welcome to the annotated version <3
Deathstroke #15 - this tells the story of slade meeting lillian worth, rose's mom, and then shows rose for the first time <3 honestly this one doesnt do much for rose other than saying that she exists but it still matters
Deathstroke #45-46 - before this, rose is kidnapped and escapes but i didnt include that in the list because shes not doing much until these issues. but she has things to do in these and has great moments of lili trying to protect her. dont bother reading any of the actual deathstroke stuff because i do not care what hes up to
Deathstroke #48 - rose meets slade for the first time!!! it does not go well
Deathstroke annual #4 - shes not in this til the last few pages but i get the content of rose mourning her mother where i can bc it does not get brought up for like 20 years after this. also rose being a badass is always welcome to me
Deathstroke #51 - this one is almost entirely rose's pov!!! granted shes not exactly the center of the story but still! it also starts showing her meta abilities and precognition which is so slay of her
New Titans #126 - this is the first time she gets like. an actual personality. and its great. i lov her dynamics with the other titans and i love kyle and donna kind of trying to parent her. and also shows a little bit more of how she feels about her mom hehe. in the issue before this she puts a gun to someones head which i think is also worth reading that moment of her however. its a one page scene and it never gets brought up again so i didnt bother including it
Titans #27, #33, #37 - honestly i think that roses entire time nannying lian is worth reading but she doesnt do a Lot in each issue so i felt bad including the whole thing sdjafhadsf but she has scattered appearances from #25-39 and theyre all FANTASTIC. one of my favorite eras of rose for sure
Teen Titans #0.5  - this is her joining her father :( terrible hate kill but its a very important part of her story. also she has a random family here which ??? i mean sure i guess. love that everyone was playing hot potato with rose for like 10 years though
Teen Titans #8 - calls herself ravager for the first time so its kind of important. honestly though i wasnt even gonna include this at first but decided that it was important enough to throw in. shes only on the last page of this though
Teen Titans #12 - this is where she loses her eye (see: takes her own knife and stabs it out) so its pretty significant. also bart reaching out to her and trying to help her is sweet :) i dont really care about brother blood at all though so i didnt include the rest of this arc but it starts at #9 if youre really interested
Batgirl v1 #64 - this one is extremely biased im gonna be real. i just love batgirl 2000 and this issue was really good for both of them honestly, its the two of them fighting and does a good job showing rose's relationship with her dad during this time and showing her skills 
Nightwing #112-115 - this one was just so much fun. i wouldnt call it 100% in character but theres a lot of good stuff about rose wanting a family and its rly sweet :( its also hilarious to me and its so fun to read it
Nightwing #117  - leaving her father!!! she really only shows up on a couple pages here but you know. its pretty significant. 
GENERAL WARNING FOR TEEN TITANS: a lot of teen titans was written by geoff johns and. i dont know how to put it other than that hes VERY geoff johns about it. there are bits of misogyny and racism in pretty much every issue. even after johns stops writing it still has some extremely iffy parts. so just be warned :(
EDIT: since making this list i have made yet another list of her tt03 appearances and whether or not they should be read so u can check that out if you’re interested <3
Teen Titans #34 - her intro to the team!! talks a little about how she got there and what shes doing etc. also wlw hostility with cassie
Teen Titans #35 - this one wasnt even on the list above because it comes with HEAVY disclaimers. this issue includes rose trying to rape tim, which i consider to be the worst moment in that entire book, and probably the most out of character thing rose has ever done. thank you geoff johns. HOWEVER this issue also has a lot of really nice moments with rose and eddie that i really enjoyed :( so just. disregard the first few pages if you read this
Teen Titans #40-41 - you will quickly find out that i am a sucker for rose and joey being siblings. in all honesty i know very little about joey but i DO know that he and rose have rly sweet moments in a lot of these
Teen Titans #43-46 - a lot of deathstroke stuff. mostly boring but rose does get to fight her dad here :) and also some more rose & joey moments. though do be warned as a cassandra cain fan these issues did send me flying into a blind rage because she is so out of character
Teen Titans #57 & #60 - precognition!!! rose being a badass!!! my love!!!!!! this is a good issue. it does go back on a lot of what its already gone over by saying "ooo rose is so murderous and dangerous!!" but. whatever. i like it when shes murderous. these are all part of an arc that goes from #56-60 if you want the full story but these two are the ones that rose has the most to do in. then #60 leads into Terror Titans which. um. was not good. very out of character for rose and just not an interesting story at all. but i mean if you want to read it she is in it
Teen Titans #71  - rose-centric issues my beloved hehe :) this issue is pretty good and sets off her story in the second feature starting in #72
Teen Titans #88 - rose rejoining the team!!!!! which i have mixed feelings on because it was clearly a "the writer wanted her there but didnt want to do the work to put her back so they just threw her in" situation which is fine i guess. it ignores a lot of whats already happened though :/ but!!!! lillian worth mention!!! woo!!!!
Teen Titans #90-91 - damian and rose's dynamic is so fucking funny and i love it. they are iconic together its amazing
Teen Titans #98-100 - final teen titans arc!! rose isnt specifically doing a lot but she does have some really good moments here. also she has an interaction with mia for like 2 panels so i need to cut those 2 panels out and frame them <3 but be warned. the writer was clearly going in the rose/conner direction for some reason which. um. hm.
Batgirl v2 #2-4 - ICONIC. i have issues with cass's characterization in this but rose is wonderful. she can be patricidal as a treat <3 shes planning ahead and shes a good fighter and shes murderous. what more do you need.
Teen Titans #70, Titans #13, Vigilante #6 - these are all part of a bigger crossover, Titans #12 and Vigilante #5 come before these but rose doesnt have anything to do there and i did not read them because i dont really care about the story of this one. but oh my god. this has some FANTASTIC rose & joey content. all of their interactions in this killed me esp the last part :(
Teen Titans #77-78 - oughghggogugughggh this one was so sad fr. i love it when rose tries to kill her dad but there were so many parts in this where i was full of pain. but also joey and rose moment hiiii !! but most importantly lili is revealed to be alive here!!! yippee!!!!
Faces of Evil: Deathstroke #1 - hiiiii im actually adding this one to the list nearly a year after i originally made it lol <3 but i love this issue so much and i cant believe i never added it. most of the reason i like it is because i like it when she commits patricide and like half of this comic is dedicated to her kicking his ass then getting her ass kicked. god i love her
Teen Titans #72-76 & #79-82 - FRESH HELL MY BELOVED <3 greatest rose story of all time <333 the writer is clearly weird about rose but who am i to judge. lots of good moments of her struggling with morality and finding out who she is and its a pretty good story and im pretty sure there was one part that made me cry
and there we go !! i know most ppl dont add their opinion to their reading lists however i mostly made this for my followers and i am the god of this list and i do what i want

I think the biggest issue with shield hero is the author accidentally wrote motoyasu into being in the right. this wouldn't have been an issue if they decided to address it instead of tripling down on him "being an idiot" instead of a morally upright dude who believed a woman when she claimed to be raped.
Naofumi for all intensive purposes looks like the most reprehensible motherfucker on the planet from the outside. I wouldn't take his goddamn side. but the story NEEDS you to be with him. so they thoroughly make him sympathetic before he buys the child slave. now don't get me wrong I love this plot point. I think "protagonist buys a child slave" could have been a fucking awesome story. but the author didnt actually want to go into how fucked up that is. they just wanted to write isekai wish fulfillment about a guy at the bottom revenge plotting his way to the top. this is fine to. this can be a perfectly serviceable or even good plot. the problem is the second sheild hero stops being a dark fantasy (episode 5) it gets obscenely boring. like so fucking dull.
this is because they didn't know how to get you onto naofumis (the man who owns a child slave) side without making the antagonist needlessly over the toply cruel (myne) or the most annoying performtive idiot on the planet (motoyasu)
lets examine motoyasu. hes a womanizer. not very bright. believes myne when she claims to be raped. duels naofumi to free a slave.
none of these things are bad. his attempt at free raphtalia (the slave) is maybe a tad performative, naofumi calls this out himself when he brings up slavery being legal, but its not evil. it GOOD. even if its a little to do with his personal beef with naofumi that to could just be interesting writing.
hes FLAWED (being gullible) yes but thats just being a well written character. (he isnt)
so the shows written a well meaning but flawed antagonist. hes against the protagonist bc he rightfully believes him an irredeemable monster who raped women and own slaves.
what will be done with this charater? nothing interesting i assure you. the episode after the duel instead of having him question why the slave girl actually liked naofumi at all (the man they at this point belive to BE A RAPIST (he isnt but they dont know that)) he shows up at a village to become a figure head lord. mynes calling all the shots. and she says the first decree will be that anyone who enters the village will have to pay a toll of FIFTY SILVER. FIFTY! Naofumi then says a night a board AND food is only 2. Thats above cartoonishly evil. thats just stupid. youre not going to make any money that way no one's going to be able to afford the fee. your just killing a village to kill it.
What does motoyasu do when this VERY CLEAR EVIL is happening right in front of him by HIS SIDE? look stupid and double down bc he doesnt like naofumi. he shows hes willing to fuck over a TON of people just to get a go at one guy.
this is the second their whole dynamic becomes so boring. it becomes "naofumi right"; "motoyasu stupid". when motoyasu loses his assumed moral high ground. when hes no longer fighting for what he believes is right.
whereas before their clashes had been moral and even nuanced to a degree now its just a postering idiot and a guy who can inly be bothered bc hes LITERALLY GENUINELY being forced to.

more miscellaneous arrows details for @faultlinescrew:
going with leela rather than lila for apsis because leela looks less like lisa at a glance
they've been around as a group for about 9ish months at story start, but like in canon sophia's been out and about doing vigilante shit since about 2008.
leela's been around for about that long as well but she was part of the original archer's bridge merchants but had a falling out - i like that idea a lot yeah. its probably due to her own issues with substance abuse combined with her seeing the writing on the wall wrt lung. i see the merchants as being relatively benign but a bad place for her to be and adam and sherrel not really understanding that - they probably saw it as a rejection of their help and how they'd made a place for her when she didnt have anywhere to go - i see them as mid twenties compared to her late teens
neither sophia or emily know why leela is doing this or what her motivations are. it doesnt bother sophia but very much bothers emily
sophia joined up grudgingly but willingly, but has been struggling with the exchange she made - she's the most experienced of the team, she'd been quietly vigilanting for a few years, and she feels like she's traded security for effectiveness. she doesnt feel like what they're doing is wrong or anything but she's chomping at the bit because she hates being reactive
the reactive strategy is mostly emily's idea - i think she's seen how the system will come down on people who push things, even if they're doing it against nazis - hell, especially then. she's the one who coordinates with the civilian AFA in brockton to keep the nazi capes off their backs
you're right that having a spine is stressful - sophia is a bit impulsive and action oriented, leela is very inertial, and she's trying to manage them both. she likes them but also resents them, though she doesnt quite realise the latter part bc she's only 16
especially frustrating is that sophia managed to kill alabaster a few months before canon, which is objectively a coup for them, but it was also done in a way that could be potentially tracked back to them
(she ambushed him and phased a baseball bat into his head, obliterating his corona, which is one of the ways wb listed to overcome his resets. it wasnt even a fight)
this is about the time that char met them all, tensions were high. sophia was emboldened by her victory and had been going out on her own again more often, and saved char from being harassed by a few skinheads, only for the other two to catch up with her and start arguing, during which char recognised sophia's voice and some mannerisms because they had some classes together at winslow
char has extremely mixed feelings about the arrows at this point - obviously she approves of what they do, but she describes herself as a coward and it does seem to be a fairly accurate assessment. she has a bit of a 'keep her head down and just ignore things' attitude that doesnt really mesh with their behaviour
despite that she does also sort of admire them in a way, and struggles with that contradiction

gang with a reader that has a LOT of scars that they say they got from fights and stuff?
Gang x Reader w @bu$3 Scars hc's
Tw's/cw's: scars, beating, abuse/parental abuse
This was actually kinda hard for me to write but I tried my best
They can all see them. They knew you had a rough home life but they didn't think it was this bad. You tell them it was just a fight. Nothing major. But how do they react?
Ponyboy
His first thought was that you were telling the truth (besides he knows a thing or two about fight injuries)
But then as you progressively got more and more scars he began remembering what johnny has looked like after a beating... And he knew something was up
When he asked you told him the same story over and over again
He didn't buy it... In fact he asked if you could come over to your place for dinner one night
How quickly you said no completely gave it away
Ponyboy felt so bad for you and even offered to let you live at his house to get away from your parents
Johnny
He saw through your lie right away
He knew a thing or two about abusive parents
He tried to be as gentle and understanding as possible
He wanted to help you somehow, but if given his situation as well, there wasn't much he could do
Some nights you stayed with him in the lot
It would get cold and chilly but it was better than being home, and it helped to have johnny there with you
Dallas
He was suspicious when you told him about the "fight"
But two days later when you showed up with more scars he knew exactly what was going on
He wanted to help you however he could
He offered to let you stay with him at buck merill's place
When you declined that he offered to run away with you to another city
He hated seeing you so hurt and he just wanted to take away all of your pain
He was starting to love you like he did Johnny and he was getting protective of you
Darry
He did not buy the fight thing for one second
He had seen your parents interactions with you before
He wanted to go straight to the police station and report your parents
You begged him not to and started crying
That's the only reason he didnt go
Each day he sees even one new scar on your body, you are "required" to stay the night at their house
He has offered to confront your parents for you
You better him not to tho
He truly does worry about you and he hates to see you hurting
Sodapop
He believed the fight story for a long time
But one day he was walking by your house and he heard all the commotion from inside
He told you he knew what was going on and you panicked
He had no clue how to help you tho
He simply offered to clean up your scars and bandage them for you
You let me him and he was so kind and gentle
He worries about you and checks on you often
If you're not at school he freaks out and stops by your house to check on you on his way home
Two Bit
He was so oblivious that he didn't even realize you had scars at first
But one day they worse than ever- and almost impossible to miss
You told him it was just a fight and he didn't ask ant questions
But the next day your scars were even worse than the day before (you hadn't thought that would be possible until it happened)
Two Bit knew something was up and he was having flashbacks to what Johnny looked like after a bad beating
He offered to to give your parents a taste of their own medicine
Obviously you told him not to but he wanted to help and that was the only way he could think of
His way of helping is keeping you busy long enough to get home after your parents are already asleep
Steve
Steve was smart enough to know that a fight doesn't give you scars like that
He could sort of relate with his dad's constant yelling, but he didn't dare say anything bc he knew that his situation was also nothing near the level that yours was at
He suggested you report your parents to the police, but he didn't bother you about it after you refused
He tried to be as helpful as possible but he felt like that was never enough
He simply hoped and prayed that you would be ok

So I just finished my first run of the game and got the epilogue scene...
Epilogue Spoilers Below
First of all i would like to say I. fucked. up.
Gale wanted the crown and became a god.
I thought he would stop if I talked him out of it at the end like I did Shadowheart and Laezel. But even voicing my worries didn't deter him. So I went back and did the persuasion check which needed a 30 so only a nat 20 could hit. I just wanted to see professor Gale man. But nope, after spending minutes save scumming didnt change the outcome so it has to be something i could have done earlier.
When he starts getting power hungry is where I realized I messed up. In shadowheart's quest i didnt need to roll persuasion, she came to that conclusion on her own. Laezel might have needed persuasion to get out of that death machine in the creche but not for Voss, you just tell her you've got her back regardless and she accepts the truth. Wyll didn't need persuasion nor Karlach i think. Only Astarion but that's explained by getting lost in the moment and its been revealed that without you there he never bothers to ascend, showing he only wanted that power to protect you and be equals.
This is sad since Gale is the only story i kinda got a bad ending to. Everyone else is happy and got exactly what they needed instead of what they want. They became the best versions of themselves, their true selves. Gale is lost. What we knew of the old gale at least is gone. Its what godhood does in dnd. Ive seen it before. Loosing your humanity or a large part of it is inevitable. Elminsters letter was accurate. Where did that Gale go? I felt like I failed and he was like my bestie too. I didn't need a romance when he was so happy to be around my tav. He was just a lonely guy and we gave him friendship. Now god gale barely shows up, talks down to you and doesn't visit his mother at all. Wizards man. The hubris. The hunger for power. They always break my heart in games man.
He got me bc of his suicidal tendencies. It got emotional for me. Now my Tav distances themselves away from him with polite words, though god gale does that well enough
I wished I could have gone to the hells with Karlach and Wyll. My adveturer Tav hungers for facing new worlds and fights, they would definition not rest until Karlach got her heart fixed. But they romanced Astarion and they prioritised curing his vampirism first. At least they went off to become adventurers. Still in line with my Tav's desires. At least we have hope Karlach can fix her engine when she says they found Zariels forge. Did not expect Ranger Wyll that was my next pick for a rerun! Maybe paladin instead...
Shadowheart was so sweet. She wants to keep in touch with everyone. Though its sad that i heard she would visit gale if he was a professor but now probably doesn't.
ALSO the egg! I was disappointed to hear we wouldn't have any resolution on that. I didn't want to hand it over or even take it but we were gonna murder everyone in the creche since they were hostile and no one would look after it. I was gonna leave it in Laezels inventory so she flies of with it in hopes of a better life. Now she mentions it! She even has a name! Xan. Thank god, cuz the alternative was handing it to the Society and they get murdered after it hatches. (its not gonna happen but I had an owlbear egg that never hatched, game suggest to sell it and has the option to eat it but my druid tav would never. Wish we had mention of hatching it and being looked after by its brother)
Halsin gifted me a duck. Its never leaving my inventory. I headcanon my Tav and Astarion staying in his tree house whenever they need a pause from traveling. Eventually its the place they always return to.
Anyways, next run: be firmer to Gale.
Elminster did say we should be his shepherd. Unfortunately i believed i would have taken on a more supportive role like the other companions in their quest. I don't speak out for them and just encourage them to decide for themselves and not what others want. Its usually how i got the best outcome but not this time. Even Tara is upset we couldn't sway him but admits he didn't want to learn but I know I can do something.
And thats something is spraying him like a misbehaving cat in the face whenever he shows an inkling of craving godhood.

You cant exactly what happened next
Maybe it had happened all to fast.
Your head spinning so much,
You remember something about the kids cheering you on, about something.
"Hey...hey there badass your alright."
Y/n blinked, she turning her head, "...dustin?...what?"
"Lets just call it a mental breakdown...with induced pain from your wounds." Dustin spoke, "Steve tried to help."
"But you had a fight or flight response." Mike added. "He the flight part and you the fight part."
"You knocked him straight on his ass." Dustin spoke, "and knocked him out."
"What?" Y/n asked now awake looking around.
"Take this left! Left!" Lucas shouted Y/n looking at the driver seat, Max.
Looking around ahe syafted to freak out.
"WOAH! WOAH! WOAH!"
"WHAT!?" Steve shouted getting up as well from his previous state of knocked the fuck out he looking around.
"Calm Down!" Dustin tried to persuade.
"Thats not right man!" Y/n shouted looking at Max driving.
"She's drove before!" Lucas argued.
"Who!?-" Steve asked before seeing Max drivin.
He joined the screaming with Y/n in telling her to stop and pull over.
"Im trying to focus!" Max shouted.
"Left! Left Max!"
"Okay! Okay!"
"Holy Shit!" The two teens shouted.
You didnt even bother asking where you were all going
But when Max slammed on the breaks you all in farm land.
You had an idea where you were.
Everyone unpiled from the car you falling out holding your side.
"Max. Max. What are we doing here?"
"Burning the shit out of the upside down."
"Alright...yeah...alright. burn the shit." Y/n explained getting up, just to fall back down to her knee "or maybe not..."
"Shit! Guys!" Max called, "shes bleedibg through her shirt!"
The group rushed over.
"Shit..." Steve looked over her, lifting her shirt up, Bandages soaked in blood.
"Tape Henderson?" Y/n asked, Dustin throwinv her a roll of tape, she taping her abdomen up, grunting along the eay, "Lets tourch a bitch."
"Badass." Dustin cheered as Y/n walked off.
Steve looked over at Dustin with a 'really' look.
You were glad you could ask Mike for a fill in, you helping all the kids drop down, making sure they all have there make shift protective wear up and on.
And you fight with Steve to go first
You end up just pushing him out the way to go forward.
What are you gonna do with two little Hatchets and some knives?
Alot. You could do alot.
He just wants to protect you
Even if your a big bad ass, he cant help but like the helpless princess being saved by the prince type of shit
Except this time the princess is a bad ass that's mroe ripped than most of the guys at school
Still hot either way
Not to lie, watching you take command...
God he's gotta ask you out
Wait-
He's falling in love all over again, its pretty clear with the way he stares at you throughout the entire thing.
Stabbing a demon dog? Wow Being a badass making a quick Molotov Cocktail? Elite.
"What the hell..." Dustin mummbled, Y/n turning her head.
"Dustin?"
"What is that-"
"Spore! Get down!"
Tackling Dustin to save him?
Absolutely.
You were quick to help him up and pull him along.
"I swear. If one of these little shits die." Y/n mummbled.
You drag him along, making it to this. Supposed hub.
You were all quick to soak the area Gas, spray down walls and ceilings, No stone is left unsoaked.
It was an easy task, till you all set the shit ablaze
Ah yes
Running for your fucking lives
Dont we all at some point.
You keep yourself in the back this time, making sure no one is left behind.
So when Mike falls because of a vine your quick to help him up and push him along with the sound of Dustin's pet growling in the background
Points to Dustin's for always carring legendary Three Musketers with him.
Because apparently Demodogs love Nought.
Who would have guessed?
You all rush past the busy Demo dog and start helping everyone back up the rope.
The kids first of course, leaving you and Steve at the bottom.
"Go up first!" Y/n ordered.
"No!"
"Fucking Go!-"
She was cut off by growling and screeching, what was one demodog had to be atleast 20 now.
"Get up the rope." Y/n ordered, "now."
"I don't get it. Why are you the one in danger all the time!" Steve argued, "You go up the rope!"
"Not the time to arguing now you guys!" Dustin called from above the demodogs coming around the corner.
"Because last time I let someone go infront of me! Or behind me THEY DIED. You get it now!" Y/n argued, "They DIED because of me. ME."
"Behind you!"
Y/n turned around the lot of Demodogs pulling a Hatchet out, just for them to all run past the two.
Fuck...the kids are gonna have heart attacks before there 18.
You both end up save and sound.
And as your coming up, the car lights blind you, they becoming ridiculously bright
God. You get it Billy's flashy, but thats excessive.
The bright light in the last thing you remember seeing.
Passing out again? Absolutely.
Bleeding out? Yeah that sounds like you.
Your taken to Joyce's house, we're everyone regroups.
And you're passed out on the couch, bleeding out.
Steve's in full panic mode, not exactly sure how to handle the major wounds
He can only apply pressure with the kids in a worried state
But luckily Frank's one of the first through the door
Frank takes control on the situation while Steve as much as he wants fo help, is having a freak out.
He's stuck in the bathroom, scrubbing his hands, no matter how much he picks and scrubs his hands are tinted red.
"Need some help?"
He turns his head, its Nancy holding a bottle of rubbing alcholol.
"I'm sure Y/n needs that more than me."
"Don't worry. Mr.Castiglione has plenty for her." Nancy told, setting the bottle down besides the soap.
Steve nodded, "thanks..."
"No problem..." Nancy spoke leaning against the wall, watching Steve try and rid his hands of Y/n's blood, he wincing, "burns."
"Must've scrubbed too hard." Nancy told, "let me see."
Steve gave her a hand, his other turning the water off.
"Defenitly scrubbed your hands raw." Nancy told.
Steve chuckled, "...yeah...got the better of me."
Nancy's hands were cold and soothing on Steve's. His hand relaxing in hers in relief.
"What happened here?" Nancy asked looking at Steve's split eyebrow and brusie forming on his face.
"Y/n." Steve told.
"She hurt you?"
"What? No. Yes- Not on purpose. She. She had a moment is all." Steve told and then went quiet in thought, "...I can't imagine what she goes through...what she's been through."
"We've all been through a lot." Nancy told him.
He looked at her and nodded, we had an unlining, me and you, and the others. Others implied anyone but Y/n at this point.
She smiled smally at him, then raised her head to kiss his cheek far too close to his lips to not have double meaning.
"We'll be okay."
You woke up on Joyce's table. An easy place to operate on you.
Confused you tried to sit up, but Curt stopped you,
"Hey. Hey. It's me."
"Citrius? That you man?" Y/n asked with a groan.
"Glad to see the jokes don't waver when you're almost KIA." He explained.
Y/n smiled weakly, "What are you doin here?"
"Frank called. Those mutts went after us too."
Y/n nodded, "Hey there. You alright?"
Y/n looked over to see Karen, Madani and Parker.
"Yeah. Just wanna sit up." Y/n told, Peter helping her up and off the table into a chair, "is everyone alright?"
"God look at you." Karen spoke holding Y/n's face carefully, "You're asking if we're all okay and look at you."
Y/n smiled small.
"Someone needs to stop hanging around this one." Madani explained.
"Hey. I am a very good influence." Peter defended.
A knock on the door wall intruppting them.
"Hi...:
Y/n smiled seeing Will, "Hey."
He looked at her worriedly before she lifted up an arm signalling for a hug, he was careful walking over, before Y/n dragged him into a big squeeze.
"Im sorry." He apologized.
"Its okay." Y/n responded, "You think this was bad? You should see Banner when he freaks out. Full on 7 foot green goblin comes out. You think the Mind Flayers bad? See Banner when he doesnt have milk in his coffee."
Will looked up at you as you smiled at him.
"Plus I've always got you back kid."
You're so glad that he's okay now, that everyones okay
When Frank comes in the room, from checking on Joyce seeing your up, you've never gotten up so quick to hug him.
That means almost all your friends are safe.
You don't know about Steven/Marc or Matt yet.
"What about-"
"Everyone's alright." Frank told her, "One's helping patch the kids up the other's helping clean up glass on the floor"
Y/n sighing hugging Frank tighter, he kissing the top of her head. Then pulled away from her.
"You ever. Ever. Do some stupid shit like that again. I swear." He threatened.
"Oh. So just don't act like you." Y/n defended with a smile.
He only shook his head, pulling her into another hug
"Hug her any harder and you'll bust all her stiches." Curt warned.
You just need a nap at this point.
But before you do that you got to make sure each of those kids get home first.
It takes about an hour, but everyones home and finally safe.
You and the gang actually end up spending the night of Joyce's.
The next day comes around and your pancakes on the floor with Will and the group.
All unphased by the taped up window, and Wills drawings still making a map.
The news is on, there closing Hawkin's lab,
Thank god.
Plus those Pancakes your dad made for everyone are real good.
You can't help but thing whats next for Hawkins
Is the Upside down truly gone? Or does it never go away?
Life kinda goes back to normal, the group saying they'll never come back to visit you guys, a joke of course.
Matt telling you he's proud of you and he'll see you when you come for trainning.
Its news To Peter's ears of course and he's super excited to hang out with you.
You tell him you've gotta finish up the semester first
Everything's.
Oddly okay after the whole situation, You feel like you lost people more of gained anybody.
You spend you last days of highschool alone. You know despite Johnathan talking to you during Lunch and Munson harassing you during class.
But Billy. Everytime he sees you he doesnt talk to you, there's not even a look.
And Steve, Steve just avoids you
But with the semester ending with the Winter Months.
Its either now or never.
Its. Well. The day you're leaving, with a duffle bag of your things you're putting them in the trunk of the car.
Natasha's come to pick you up, with a few others, most for entertainment reasons.
"I can still stay." Y/n spoke hands in the pockets of her dad's old poncho, a good luck charm she had taken from him.
Frank only pulls her into a hug, Y/n hugging him back, "You'll be back sooner than you know. You'll be begging me to go back."
Y/n laughed, it cracking as she tried not to cry i to his chest.
"Don't. Die." Y/n defended pulling away, and pushing him in his chest, "Im really not trying to fight Mephisto to come and get you back."
He chuckled, kissing her head, "Go. Before I end up changing my mind."
Y/n nodded, walking off the porch, "Love you dad."
"I love you too kid."
You had to pratically run to the car so you wouldn't plant your feet and not go like Frank ordered.
Natasha was kinda good with emotions, and always had your back, she was patient enough to let you go and say goodbye to everyone independently.
You were standing at the Wheelrs door, the bikes on the lawn told you, the kids were there.
"Just Knock!" Yelena shouted from the car, "You know. With a fist. And tap on the door!"
"I know how to knock!" Y/n shouted back at her.
"Really?" Barnes asked.
"What? She needed help." Yelena told.
Raising a hand to the door she knocked and surprisingly Mr.Wheeler answered it.
"And you are?"
"Oh. Mr.Wheeler hi, Im. Frank's daughter. Remember?" Y/n asked.
"You must be here for Nancy."
"Mike. Actually." Y/n told, "May I see him?"
"Karen!" Ted shouted.
"What!" She sounded annoyed.
"Where is our son?" He asked.
"Downstairs with his friends!"
Mr.Wheeler let her in, "Basement stairs are just down the way. Through the kitchen."
"Thanks." Y/n responded, following Mr.Wheeler's advice.
Mrs.Wheeler was cooking in the kitchen, Holly at the bar island a she played with her toy, she turned her head seeing Y/n walk in.
"Pretty lady!" She cheered getting out her chair to run over.
"What are you doing in my house?" Mrs.Wheeler asked.
"Saying goodbye to Mike." Y/n responded.
"You have nothing to say to my son. Not after what you did to my daughter." Mrs.Wheeler told, "get away from her Holly."
Y/n nodded, she had done nothing to Nancy, "Mom! Do we have-"
Y/n turned her head seeing Mike, "Y/n!"
"Hey." Y/n smiled.
"Guys! Y/n's here!" He called.
Footsteps were heard like a stampede, the group excited to see her.
"Hey! What's going on! Aliens with lasers!? Is Thor here!?" Dustin cheered.
"If he's here he's a little late." Max added, "Did Loki come with him?"
Y/n chuckled, "No. No one special is here."
They all awed in a bummed move.
"You're playing D&D with us then?" Will asked.
"Yeah! You should totally stay!" Lucas added.
"No. I've come to say goodbye actually."
"Goodbye?" El asked.
Y/n nodded, "Im going back to New York-"
"What!?" They asked shocked.
"You can't leave!" Lucas complained.
"Yeah!" Dustin added, "You and Steve make the perfect baby sitting duo!"
"Im coming back don't worry." Y/n informed, "But I am leaving for. A while."
"How long's a while?" El asked.
"Just. A while." Y/n responded, unsure of how long she'd be.
"You're gonna send back super cool photos tho! Right!? Postcards from space and shit?" Dustin asked.
"I will send you all postcards." Y/n told, "but for now. I've got to go. I've got other houses to go by."
They all held frowns group hugging her tight, she smiled hugging them back the best she could.
Max held on the longest, "You're gonna come back though."
"Asgardian honor." Y/n smiled, "Plus. I've gotta take you to Asgard one day-"
"You're going to Asgard!?" Dustin asked, "Great! She's becoming a God! Whats next Vahalla!?"
"You idiot thats where the dead go." Lucas argued.
"Oh. Don't go there then." Dustin told.
Y/n smiled at the group, and nodded, "I'll see you later then?"
"Yeah." Will spoke, Y/n looking at Mrs.Wheeler.
"Goodbye Mrs.Wheeler. than you for letting me say goodbye." She told and then started to leave.
"Mom who's here-"
Nancy was coming down the stairs as Y/n was leaving.
They both quiet as they looked at one another, "Goodbye Nancy." Y/n told, opening the door to leave.
"Y/n!!" Yelena complained from inside the car.
"Yeah! Yeah Im coming!"
The group of kids followed her outside.
"Is that..." Mike started.
Steve Roggers leaning against the car, waiting for Y/n to come back.
"....thats Captain America."
Roggers opened the door for Y/n, she getting in the car and he getting in the back.
Y/n waved to them one last time.
"Go! Go!" Lucas shouted, they all rushing forward as Natasha started down the street.
"Y/n! Y/n!" They shouted running after the car.
"Fanclub much?"
They ran along side the car, "You're gonna be the best damn Aveneger ever!" Will shouted.
"Yeah! A total badass!" Mike added.
Some of them falling behind with the moving vehicle.
"Don't take everything on by yourself!" Max shouted.
The last of them fell behind, the car moving too quick for them to keep up.
"You're one of the best damn baby sitters ever!" They shouted together.
Baby sitter?
You bet there all pokin fun at you now.
Till you tell them you took your kids of a dimensonal day trip
Respected Avenger approve Baby Sitter now
Natasha stops you at Steve's house next
Steve answers the door, alone at home once again.
"Hey..." Steve started, "How...how are you..."
Y/n nodded, "good...good."
"Great."
It's silent for a moment.
"I-"
"No. You go first-"
"Okay-"
The two laugh, both nervous with voices over lapping each other.
"Yeah. You first. If you want." Steve told.
Y/n nodded, "Yeah...So...I'm leaving for New York."
"Wow. Thats. Thats Great!" Steve smiled, "Im happy for you, Nice to be going home...."
Y/n smiled, "Yeah, snows great in the city. Real pretty..."
"Maybe I can...take you out...ya know...before you leave. Tommorow Moring? I know a great waffle place." Steve told, "Plus...we have alot...well I...have a lot to tell you....and Im. Im real sorry for ignoring you, and avoiding you- i. It's..."
Y/n looked down at her hands, "it...its okay..."
He looked at her concerned, "You're not leaving soon. You're leaving now. Aren't you?"
"Yeah." Y/n spoke finally looking back into his gaze, "Bye Harrington."
She turned around walking back towards the car, he watching the black car drive off.
If you thought that was hard, this last stop was going to be harder
Natasha had known about Harrington, but she knew even more about Hargrove
He had been your first friend in Hawkins.
So While Yelena complained about stopping
Again
You got out, Natasha grabbing your arm.
"You know. If you need back up on this one. I'm on it."
Y/n nodded getting out.
"Wait she's gonna go kick ass?" Yelena asked, "I wanna go."
She walked up to the door, knocking on it, Susan answering it.
"Hi. Ms.Mayfeild."
"Hello. Can I help you?"
Y/n nodded, "Billy home?"
"In his room dear."
Y/n nodded, "thank you."
Y/n walked through the house, knocking on Billy's door, music playing loud like always. She opened it.
"What-"
He stopped seeing her standing there. Her face lightly scarred up, the most notebale a scar that cut through her eyebrow.
"Hey."
He turned off the music, the two standing there akwardly, Y/n closing the door behind her.
"Just. Come to say goodbye." Y/n spoke.
"Where you goin?" He asked leaning against his wall a pack of cigrattes now in his hand.
"Back to New York." Y/n told, "dad things its the best choice. Some superhero trainning as the kids call it."
"Well you've become what you didnt want to." He spoke setting a cigratte in his lips, "Congrats."
Billy's lighter sparked, he trying to get a steady flame.
"You know." Y/n responded, "no one knows still."
The flame finally held as he was still for a moment then lit his cigratte, "thanks..."
"I don't break pinky promises." Y/n told him, "never had. Never will. Those things are serious you know."
Billy chuckled softly letting it die off into his cigratte as he took another puff.
"I shot first." He spoke up, "Why act like I didn't."
"Because I understand what it's like." Y/n responded, "I got lucky...I got real lucky that Im not in your shoes no more...there was a guy..Arthur Walsh before I was a Castle."
Billy was silent, intently listening.
"I thought he was...this. god. Almost. Helped me. Helped..My older brother. Who you think is gonna protect you just ends up hurting you instead. I was embarssed, my brother was embarrassed. So when you told me what your dad did to you." Y/n told sighing, making her way over to him, "I just. Wanted to floor him so hard. Right then and there. Infront of it all. Infront of everyone. But its hard to get passed the embarssed part. I understand but once you get past that point and you see it, its a fight or flight response. So. Like you asked. Even though I wanted to. So, I didn't tell anyone."
Y/n didn't receive a response she nodding, "I'll send you a post card Hargrove."
"Wait."
She stopped, turning back towards him, "You gave me a run for my money. Just like our first basketball game."
Y/n chuckled lightly, "Just a bit. You got a good hit on me too."
He smiled, unable to contain it, puttinv out his cigratte, "Im gonna miss you City Bird."
Y/n smiled, "Im gonna miss you to Hargrove-"
She was shocked by the hug given to her. But smiled hugging him back.
Feeling something else wrap around her he pulled away, "Not gonna forget me now."
"Hey-" Y/n started, "Im comin back."
"Not soon enough. If you're dieing out there. Atleast die with it on."
Y/n chuckled the brown worn leather jacket sitting on her shoulders, "hey. If Im dieing. Im takin you with me."
He laughed, Y/n smiling at him, "You never change City Bird."
"You'd Miss me too much if I did." Y/n told, "So. See you later?"
She lifted up a pinky to him.
"See you later hero," Billy interlinked pinky's with her.
"You can be the hero next time Billy. Deal?"
"Deal."
Oh how she wish she never made that deal

non-exhaustive list of phrases seen today, some on posts complexity unrelated to any of these things, which gets the block button in response (unfortunately, blocking irl for shit like this is harder to do)
'this and [other instagram] are great sources on how awful zionazis are'
'omg your scarf is sooo cute but like isn't it oppressive and you should fight back for your rights, no pressure tho'
'we should spit on all jews we see just in case they're one of the supporters of genocide'
'from the river to the sea is just a phrase'
'everyone should report [user] for obvious reasons [israeli +/ palestinaian flag in bio] [+/ hebrew +/ arabic words]'
'quick question but are you jewish or are you normal'
'fuck off with that chosen people, am yisrael chai bullshit'
'yeah idk i only skimmed it but reblogging for reach i seems important guys'
'mabye im spelling it wrong but [person with vaguely nonwhite name] is a terrorist and [you shouldn't support them]'
'but which side are you really on because either you want to wipe out an entire civilization or you support a two-state solution condemning the world'
'im not there or an expert but i trust this is a valid opinion bc the account is followed by my smart friends'
'unable to link now but check out [this tiktok] of how [somewhat prominent jewish person living in the uk] is acshully a settler who killed palestinians to take their house'
'sorrrrry idk if im explaining this right?? but [wildly unsubstantiated, widespread conspiracy theory] is like super important to be aware of you guys'
'how dare you [read/watch/listen to something] made by [person who has explicitly said they are in support of human rights and acknowledges that there isn't an easy one side or the other answer] who is pro occupation'
'you should commit suicide and then maybe your family will become normal about the conflict and see the truth instead of listening to your trash'
'friendly reminder that [person] said [statement which is very easy to search and find that they said something close to the opposite] so you should hate them but not sure didnt do as much research'
y'all can't even be bothered to check something as basic as someone's name, no wonder you are so content with sharing neat little infographics and being in an echo chamber of slogans that do fuck all for the people who are actively in danger and sometimes, believe it or not, you make things worse.
excuses of 'oh i'm a minor' (<- even if you are, it's kinda irrelevant and internet safety 101 is don't advocate that) or 'i don't actually live there but heard something like this from [random mutual]' (<- continues to talk over people who actually do and/or people who have experienced these things) or 'bestie how am i supposed to know who is a bad source' (<- that's condescending, not cute, and maybe if you asked genuinely people would have patience to walk you through basic literacy and comprehension exercises) or 'well what are you doing to help' (<- gotchas aren't cool, especially when your version of help is actually hate speech) or 'okay even if i was foggy on the details the point is the same' (<- how do you reach the same conclusion when the information shows a drastically different narrative than the first one) etc. are flimsy and frustrating

Anyways i saw the leak so heres my thoughts on it!
The beginning part is cute. I LOVE the fly dogs and wish they weren't forgotten about.
I think it would make more sense if Striker was kidnapped and brough to Crimson since he may want someone . If Crimson is running out of money and Striker is trying to get money those feel conflicting. So if he kidnapped Striker (believable since based on prior fights he seems to struggle the moment he's outnumbered.) And threatened to kill him if he failed it might give more reason to the circumstances. (And if we want Crimson alive perhaps he can't afford to kill Striker after IMP has cut down so many of his men)
Fizz and Ozzies relationship being the worst kept secret feels conflicting in a way esp if the news dropped just tofat. Like Fizz hides the newspaper (and how were they found out? Like wouldnt this be a problem?) So maybe itd help if Striker looked at that news article when being told he had to catch someone important and then moves it down where we get the shot of Fizz and Blitzø fighting. Indicating to us its Strikers lucky day because the news just broke this guy is someone Ozzie might shell out quite a bit of money for.
The backstory I didnt like the choppiness of admittedly. I hope we get a more in depth one that gives especially Fizz's backstory more time to hit.
That or maybe he tries to steal Ozzies dogs (presuming Fizz to be his dog walker and because Fizz is still holding the leashes and in a fight with Blitzø theyre both pulled up with them?).
Their resolution feels like it was missing the issue. It wasnt just that Blitzo ruined Fizz's life its that he actively walked away when Fizz was severely injured. And Blitzø's "i lost something too" thing feels like its talking down to Fizz as though he wasnt there and close to Blitzøs family. I think maybe itd work if they made each other feel bad in a way that makes each of them reconsider their view of one another like:
Fizz: You hated that I was better than you so you decided to take it all away from me!
Blitzo: It was an accident!
Fizz: Oh boo hoo. Do you want a participation medal or something.
Blitzø then grabs Fizz's shirt both with tears in his eyes and seething with anger. " I lost things that day too Fizz! Where do you think this scar came from?"
Then we get Blitzos flashback and perhaps they dont bond over "nobody told me you came to visit!" (Which why is that tossed aside and why is nothing gonna be done to keep it from happening?) But instead misjudging each other and assuming.
Tumblr media
Speaking of that since fire seems to be different colors based on rings, if that fire isnt visually different im gonna struggle to buy Blitzø not at minimum being afraid of human fire based on appearance because this:
Doesn't help. Unless wrath fire looks similar to human fire, (meaning because Wrath is orange Blitzo should presumably be scared based on appearances.) It also would bring to question isnt the point of the fire breathing trick the danger?
I could see this being a intended swap out. That they use human fire in shows bc it looks like wrath fire to minimize injury. But this means assumably the fire from the birthday cake shouldnt be green orange or blue (colors IIRC we saw and Blitzo wasnt bothered by) its not going against canon yet. The fire color will determine that.
Btw if Stolas loves words and reading contracts youd think he'd remember a spell from his book.
Next i hope Fizz's song sounds better in the show. It wasnt bad! Admittedly tho i wish they played into Crimsons men falling into the song because I can follow Crimson and Striker confused but everyone just standing their confused i feel drags down the scene a bit. A lot of the time moments like these work well if the people watching get into the song in a way where the rug is pulled out from under them when the song ends. For examples:
You're Welcome from Moans.
Just Can't Wait to be King from The Lion King
And arguably the I Have a Dream song from Tangled.
Now as for the end my main thing is Ozzies "youll never leave the palace without protection again" before Fizz even expresses being afraid feels infantilizing. I think it overall wouldve worked better if Ozzie sent Fizz to get milk alone because he doesn't want them seen together in a domestic context.
So by the end Ozzie says he'll never let Fizz go anywhere protection to which Fizz responds that he can handle himself (he and Blitzo did work together to get out of there) but he'd love if they went places as a couple.
Ill prob do a rewrite in the future but for now I wanna see how the final product ends up before i go into that!

*slides into you ask box* Tell me more about your forgotten and abandoned au 👀
thehehjrebhkdsksj I was so happy when I saw this anon ty<3333333333333333333333 so lets talk abt them Leo: since he and Mikey were "kicked out" he didnt need much time to realize he needed to take action and be responsible for himself and his brother who was still a baby at the time, he fed his baby brother before himself, he protected his baby brother not caring abt himself, so he's definitely not who he is in the show, He takes responsibility! yes he hates it but he has to. tho if it wasnt for Mikey he'd probably end up dying, he's too selfless. So in conclusion you can say his personality is like 2012!Leo Mikey: He's still that fun little dude, but he still (just like Leo) takes stuff more seriously than his brothers, since he never knew Splinter he knows the stories and how terrible he is from Leo at first he was sceptical abt it because he doesnt wanna believe someone would do that to kids they rescued from an exploding lab. But when he got the evidence... Mikey likes to jump in fights, but is ofc stopped by Leo Raph: Since he didnt have much to mother hen on, he's more chill. As ofc in the name of the au, he does not remember Leo or Mikey, so he didnt have Savage Raph when his younger brothers were...gone- he's more childish and cracks jokes here and there Donnie: He has some small memories of his brothers, but Splinter did gaslight him into thinking those were false memories, Donnie does show more emotion than he does in the show. He's a bit more stressed because he had to take on the "Medic" role as well, but he handles it pretty well Splinter: hoooo-ho Splintsss, he's sm like the canon version. just a weeee-bit worse, He abandoned the 2 younger turtles because he was constantly annoyed by them. the baby cries and Leo constantly hurting himself by accidents or causing fights for the drama, bothered him so much, and also because after the mutation stuff he got more closer with the Hamato Clan so he wanted to raise soldiers but he "knew" he couldnt raise Leo and Mikey as good soldiers. or so he thought, but since he was too lazy he just got them to watch his movies and called it "training" . In this AU he really is a very bad father at the start, he slowly get better April: April is pretty much the same, she is older than the turtles tho bcs Older Sister April hc<3333

ok so i was able to log in thru my laptop so as promised here are my in depth thoughts on korra 
so we all know lok came out like years ago so what im gonna say probably has already been said like thousands of times over and over, i think when the show first came out i saw a few eps of it and then lost interest. but i was like 15 or something at the time so whatever. 
i have noticed that some people who liked lok better have said that people who dont like lok as much just dont like change, and idk maybe thats the case for some, but my main criticisms for it come from the writing inconsistency. to be clear i thought it was a fun watch! did i like it? yes!!!! did i love it?? not so much 
i think what bothered me the most was the pacing of the seasons. now i hate to draw comparisons to atla, but they are part of the same franchise so I Will. one the things that made atla sooo good was the overall mission stretched over 3 seasons, with secondary villains providing obstacles along the way (zhao,zuko,azula). this provided characters with enough time to develop along the way before facing the big bad (and building suspense to ozai), but still keep viewers entertained through out the seasons 
i didnt really feel the same suspense when watching korra. each season had its own conflict and big bad, and none of them really seemed to come back up a lot after they were already defeated (except for korras uncle i forget his name tbh) 
i think any of the conflicts they had would have worked if they chose to stretch it out over the course of the show. the anti-bending movement and the water tribe civil war would have worked best in my opinion. they anti-bending movement drew valid criticisms from non-benders, and its really weird to see all of that vanish after amon was defeated. as for the civil war, unalaq (i googled his name lol) fell flat for me, he was just kinda evil for the sake of being evil. at first his motivations were intriguing and made a good foundation for the conflict aka wanting to combine the tribes again by bringing spirituality to the swt by force, bt when they brought in raava and vaatu it just kinda fell apart. this plotline definitely would have worked over several seasons, but i kinda wished the origins of the first avatar would have remained a mystery. i am a firm believer of not everything has to be answered
because the show was so fast paced, characters really didnt get the spotlight they deserved, esp team avatar. the gaang in the first series really all had their moments to shine, and you could rewatch the og season over and over again and notice something new every time! im not sure how well this would work with lok since the rest of team avatar didnt really get their own fleshed out story lines 
korra: had the most development ofc. i think she was a great protagonist. it makes sense that aang would want his successor to get proper training before getting thrown into avatar duties  considering he was like 12 when he had to fight the firelord. korra, whos been training her whole life, is caught in the middle of conflict in republic city, and its clear to me that her training took a priority on bending the elements, rather than being a mediator, which is the duty of the avatar. she’s like a fish out of water, and as the series progresses and we see her fight the antagonists, this takes a toll on her and she goes into a slump. it was a very fitting arc for her character 
mako: he was just kinda there for me. bit of a jerk at first and i really did not like the whole korra/mako/asami love triangle. it was all very forced imo considering korra and mako only knew each other for like a few days before they were confessing feelings for each other 
bolin: obvs the comedic relief character. the show doesnt do much for him either which is sad bc i did like his character, hes funny and has a cute design. ill draw another comparison to atla and say that while sokka was the comedic relief, his character was deeply complex and multilayered
asami: my angel my daughter my cinnamon apple. im glad asami was able to reconnect with her father before the show murked him. korrasami was cute and they compliment each other: korra, whos more emotionally reserved vs asami who is empathetic and patient but also is true to her beliefs and holds her ground
anyways this post got super long and if u read this i love u. feel free to comment if u wanna start a discussion. much more to say but my fingers are tired bye

Snowflakes and drugs dont mix (that) well
By: J
(im not even kidding while writing this i got such bad eye pain, i stg lopt is just tormenting me anytime i do anything related to jirou without him in it)
(also this is prob extremely ooc bc im basically describing/romantasiing my own life :,) yes my life sucks dont remind me)
(again, im very muchly not a writer, i was bored and decied to make the probably first jirocrown fic of life 🙂 im genuinely sorry to anyone who reads this shit)
(anon on twt, gfys, and no this isnt supposed to be taken that damn seriously, ik theres an asston of mistakes, but its almost 3 am and i need to sleep!! alr alr u can read it now chill)
-5° (c 23°f) -5° it was cold out, extremely cold. Jirou was walking on a backroad, he didnt know what it was called, even though he had been down it hundreds of times. Around 1 (am) Crown said hed pay him for a drug run, which was rather normal, go on a drug run, hang out with crown, sleep, go home. The only issue was that it took around 30 minutes or so to get there, also normally okay, in the summer. Where he lived, got extremely cold in the winter months, in a “im going to call off of work today because ill get frostbite if i try to go outside” way. This wouldnt be an issue if there was public transport, but of course, the world apparently hated jirou. Jirou was half way there, hands almost shaking because of the temperature, he dealt with the cold ironically well, the reason it didnt bother him as much as normal people was unimportant to him. (reason is because he used to sit on the porch to not hear his parents fight, though it never really worked that well) Maybe it was a fragile ego, maybe he was just broke, but hed never wear gloves, even with the possibility of frostbite taking his hands. He knocked on Crowns door, though he had a key, he felt like he could barely move any joints in his hand to grab them. After a 3 rough minutes, Crown answered the door letting him in. “Ah th thanks, ‘preciate ya getting the shit” Crown handed him  about ¥14000 “This is too much crown” “nah its freezing out plus ive been meaning to pay ya back anyways” “I, if you say so” he was hesitant to take it, but ultimately decided that, crown, a literal serial killer, wouldnt decide to screw him over, at least not like that. 
As normal, they both walked over to the (admittedly dirty) couch, crown, in a pose that was slightly… provocative, jirou sitting normally (as normal as a gay man can). Crown sat a powder on to the table, “uh you gotta card or somethin dude?” jirou handed him a razor blade, “uh vaguely concerned as to why you carry that but thanks either way, uh youre not gonna like use that now though right?” “nnah, dumbass i know what youre doing im staring right at you, why would i hand you something that i was gonna use” “i mean look, you made paintings out of your own blood, for no real reason either! youre not as predictable as you think” “whatever ya say just hurry up” “damn why you say impatient huh?” crown brought his face down to the table after making the powder into a mostly straight line. “Cause i want my share already and you take too long” Crown tossed him the razor blade, jirou aligned the powder into a straighter line than crowns, and snorted it as well. “Yeayea whatever man, the hell should we do any ways, too cold to go out, any ideas?” “sure i have several but the last time we did any of my ideas someone had to be killed cause they were a witness” “ah right, well uh, wanna play uno?” “gonna be real with ya c, the joints in my fingers feel like the are fucking screwed shut at the moment so I’m gonna have to pass” “your joints where what” “*sighs* (bc how do u write a sigh phonetically) fingers too cold, fingers barely move because cold” “oh, what nah lemme feel bro” “fine fine whatever” crown moved his hands onto Jirous, and, of course, they were extremely cold. “Damn dude what the hell, how long where you outside for?” “uh i mean i was smoking when you texted so at least like i dunno 15 minutes more than normal?” “man the hell, cmere” crown had gotten closer and brought Jirou into a hug, granted it didn’t do much, the heating and cooling had been busted for months, crown was surviving on 15 blankets, but it felt nice. Jirou was aware that hugging someone, at least in the position they were in, wouldn’t do much, but he let crown anyways, for a drug addicted serial killer, he always felt at home with Crown, wanted. “Ugh alright alright c i get it okay? i love you too chill” “if i were to chill at the moment id freeze to death jirou” “yea yea i get it kay? I’m gonna go lay down” “right behind ya” Crown followed Jirou into the one bedroom that was there, it was noticeably colder than other rooms such as the living room, but it was much more “lively” or “lived in” plus the mattress on the ground that they insisted on calling a bed with 15 blankets kinda made up for it too. Jirou fell onto the mattress, groaning out a tiny bit before going quite again. Crown sat himself down on the opposite side, pulling two of the blankets off where they were stacked before getting under the one that was already on the bed. Jirou did the same after taking his socks off, he recalled how when this first started, how crown and him would fight about if he should take his jacket off before laying down. back then he’d say it was because he was cold, maybe it was slightly true, or the fact he didn’t want him to see his cuts and scars. After a particularly awful trip Jirou experienced after taking way too much of god knows what and almost having to go to the er, crown was, for lack of a better term in his eyes, well aware, of Jirous life, he broke down to him. After that he was careful with what he said before Jirou called him out for walking on eggshells around him, annoyed that crown was essentially “babying him”, granted unknown if it was on purpose or not. Jirou after laying down, staring at the ceiling, got closer to crown, almost suffocating him with his (fucking gigantic) oversized jacket. Crown moved what he assumed was the hood of the jacket so he could breath and brought Jirou into a tight hug. Jirou accepted, pushing into it instead of pulling away like usual. Crown could feel how cold his skin was, and how warm he felt inwardly.

OK my tingle thoughts before i end up forgetting them
let me get the negatives out of the way first..... firstly, the racism: terrible. yamatami tribe is super uncomfy and everything abt samba the king's daughter makes me want to strangle whoever at vanpool that had thought of this. deku forest being a temperate forest yet having a rando tarzan-esque hero is like 🆗. also the random durians in mt desma despite durian not being a mountain fruit at all.. like yeah ok this isnt the only fruit to grow in a random place, but the association of durian = exotic, which by proxy equates seasia = exotic, is.... 😑 also this isnt racism but i was disappointed that pinkle ended up having a thing for tingle. i was put off by the whole "you saved me from a terrible situation so i must reward you" bla bla bla deal. theres more layers to this that im honestly not to bothered to tackle like how its a subversion of expectations with how tingle is portrayed as a 'ugly character', but the way this game wrote its female characters just felt stereotypical af and its like eh.... and like it sounds worse in balloon trip of love which i have absolutely 0 plans to play.
and secondly THE GAMEPLAY JANK..... like the rupee system is Very... yeah i played without a guide for like the first dungeon before i realized it was unsustainable. bc it really is. practically no leeway for players who may ask for too much rupees, and asking for too little will end up stifling players' progression. and in both situations theyre gonna have to go and grind for rupees which is REALLY... NOT AT ALL fun to do. there is nothing fun about loading and reloading a map area to kill some enemies again and again in order to sell their drops. or digging an area over and over again. this doesnt just extend to rupees but to getting ingredients as well; like i dont understand why minced meat is so hard to come by. like after the first continent, i barely got any minced meat. and minced meat is a main ingredient for the health potion so its like.... fuck me i guess. had to farm minced meat at cape treasure until i was rich enough that it wasnt too much of a loss to just revive my bodyguards with rupees.
other gameplay janks are the fact that there isnt a way to view the zoomed in map in its entirety, the walking speed is sooooo slowww, and you can fucking lose access to fast travel to the most recent area if you neglect the tower. also there are a few puzzles and one boss fight that requires pushing shit around; and if you have a bodyguard they will 100% makes things even more difficult for you, sometimes to point where they'll push the item to a corner and you have to leave and reload the entire area to redo it. terrible developer oversight. also fast travel and saving is so tedious 😑
and the last main 'complaint' (sort of)... this game made me realize that ive been taking satisfying endings and credits for granted. bc ive been playing so many amazing games in these recent years, ive come to expect that the finale and its accompanying credits of any game would be a satisfying wrap-up of everything ive achieved. but trr had made me realize that No!!! thats not always a given. because i definitely didnt get that in this game. and that was so disappointing to me, because this game had so many diverse and quirky and unique characters and settings, but there was no final acknowledgement or one last wave goodbye for any of them. what a shame.
also the ending itself was uh.... not very satisfying either. both the good ending and the standard ending. i think i like the standard ending more honestly. it was nicer to see the children lament the adult's greed, than it was to see the unrealistic ideal of rupeeland actually be achieved (yes im completely aware how silly this sounds irt a tingle game IDC). neither ending was a super deep commentary on money and i wasnt expecting it to be a Perfect Socialist Manifesto, but the ending was essentially just "money can be good and money can be bad. ok bye" and it was like.... ??? ok bye
OK NOW THE GOOD PARTS: i love the music and i think the art direction of this game was soooo so fun. it was so quirky and zany and it reminds me a lot of mother 3! its like mother 3 if it wasnt an rpg, didnt have emotional moments, and hated you even more than mother 3 hated you. thats what this tingle game was like.
despite the gameplay jank, i think there were many good parts abt its gameplay. like despite how badly designed the rupee system is, i think it made for a very interesting setting and really emphasized how valued rupees are to the characters of this world. i really wish it was designed a bit better bc i really didnt hate the idea of this mechanic. and the music and character portrait screen when youre made to ask/pay for rupees is so creative and good too!
Tumblr media
i think the mapping system was super fun as well. annoying that you couldnt view the full zoomed in map, and that sometimes the circling feature just... wouldnt work.. but paying attention to the overworld while simultaneously paying attention to the map, and being paid handsomely for spotting the differences made exploration all the more rewarding. and i loved the bodyguard system! i think the 'combat' in this game was very fun actually. i loved the music of the bodyguard's combat. the bodyguard salons were such a fun tidbit of world-building, and it was nice to have a place where i could actually spend money and get something worthawhile in return, compared to the rest of the game where you need to pay people just for the basic decency of like, being able to talk to them (which i dont mind thats how this world works, but again it was nice to SPEND MONEY ON SMTH USEFUL). see, i liked a lot of this game's mechanics, its just that they werent ironed out enough and had enough jank to really piss you off 😮‍💨
the dungeons (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE WRETCHED INSECT CAVERN FUCK THAT PLACE FOREVER) were good too! nothing to write home about but like they were fine. but oh man the boss fights.... THEY WERE ALL AWESOME!!! sorry minish cap and albw but i actually enjoyed the boss fights in this game a lot more than any top-down zelda ones LOL. each one was so different and creative and unlike zelda, didnt just rely on Sole Item Gimmick for you to defeat them. and they were actually challenging!! but not too challenging to feel unfair. i think the lack of a standard combat system allowed for boss fights as interesting as these.
what else... i think it was really fun to see the foreshadowing of uncle rupee throughout the game. i think pinkle's ominous dialogue of being trapped in a room all day was very neat. i liked the lyphos lore too. OH and the zelda references throughout the game was amazing. like aba and her father being a sort of emotional reunion echoing the hero of time's origins.. only for them to beat each other's asses a second later was great. the saria theme in the deku forest was awesome too.
overall it was a game that i wish i could like more. like i really really wish i could like this game more! cuz the parts that i liked i really liked. also i only played like 30 minutes of phantom hourglass but this game was way better than that regarding its control scheme (fuck nintendo for ph and st control scheme forever btw). unfortunately trr has too many weird things and gameplay jank that i cant like it as much as id like. sad!

❥levi ackerman x fem!reader
❥warnings: age gap, mature, spanking, restraints with belt, rough sex, minor angst
❥word count: ~3.0k
❣︎ @kenji-futakoochi : For the sake of my sanity please do punishments with mean dom Levi🥺💞 fun twist, reader is his subordinate so its a taboo relationship
ah taboo relationships i love🥰🥰thank you for this suggestion- i didnt go entirely mean dom bc i just dont see levi being fully into that but i did want to show his sadism hehe
it’d been a tense few days.
you didn’t mean to be so hostile but you couldn’t help it- bitterness and resentment had festered in you, leaching out in disgusting ways which you knew annoyed the captain- disregarding commands, fighting huge Abnormals alone even when captain levi insisted you take another member of the squad with you, a senior. did he really think just because you’re the youngest member of the squad you’re incapable? is this why he kept you like some dirty, little secret, almost like he’s ashamed of his subordinate, his girlfriend? that’s why you’d been acting up so much- speaking out against him, not bothering to do your punishments properly, arguing with petra and uluo for no reason and now you’d gone against his commands outside of the walls, putting yourself in danger as you slaughtered the Abnormal alone- not that it’d been easy. you could’ve easily died when the grotesque titan grabbed your wire but luckily you’d been quick enough to slice its fingers, running off pure adrenaline and fear. and it was worth it to see the utter look of fury flash across levi’s face.
he waits until you’re all back in the safety of the castle to unleash his anger, rounding onto you with nothing but sheer rage burning in his grey eyes.
“what the hell do you think you’re playing at, you little brat?” he growls. everyone stares, holding their breath as he storms up to you, face contorted into an angry scowl. you don’t flinch or look at all nervous, not like the scouts watching in anticipation. you know your boyfriend, but you’re tired of this all. you’re tired of the lying and the pretending, of feeling like a nasty secret that you merely sigh, groaning as you stretch out your sore body.
“don’t, levi. we’re all tired and hungry.” there’s a sharp gasp around the mess hall, a few murmurs running through as levi grits his teeth, hands curling into fists. you know he’s even angrier- this is the angriest you’ve ever seen him, but this is the most hopeless you’ve ever felt in a relationship.
“my office. now.”
you don’t argue as you follow after him, a few scouts sending you some looks of pity whilst your senior squad members look at you with a look of disgrace and disappointment. to them, you’re just the youngest squad member with the least experience, the least kills, you’re not in any position to be acting like this. but they don’t know the truth about you and levi- nobody does.
the door slams shut behind you, the lock clicking and levi’s eyes are pure fire as he rips off his ODM gear, his piercing gaze not leaving you as you stand expectantly before his desk.
“what the fuck, y/n? what the hell crawled up your ass and died there?” his stare is heavy as it burns into your back but you don’t turn to look at him, making him growl with even more anger. the grip on your shoulder is hard as he spins you around, grabbing your jaw roughly and forcing you to look at him. “why the fuck are you being such a little brat? that stunt out there too- you clearly disobeyed my orders. do you have a fucking death wish?! i’m your captain, y/n-”
“you’re also supposed to be my boyfriend!”
your voice trembles as you cry out over levi, voice thick with tears and you jerk your face away from his hold, staring at the door to avoid his heavy eyes.
“what’s that supposed to mean?”
“it means, why do you treat me like i’m some sort of kid? i know i’m younger, i know you’re my captain but you don’t ever tell petra or uluo to go get help fighting an Abnormal. you just always treat me like i’m incapable.” you couldn’t stop the words from flowing out, fingers trembling with anger and hurt as you curl them into fists. “i want us to feel like a proper couple too, not like i’m just your dirty little secret like- like- like you’re ashamed of me!” he doesn’t say anything, but his eyes are wide as he stares at you, lips parted as you laugh mirthlessly. “yeah, i thought so-”
“you thought wrong.” he growls, pushing you against the desk and caging you in with his own body, the grip he holds on your hips heavy with his nails piercing through the fabric. “you’ve been acting like such a disobedient brat all this time- risked your life- just because you’re upset with me?” his hands unbuckle the straps of your ODM gear as you swallow heavily, suddenly aware of how close he is to you, how tight he’s clenching his jaw and the throbbing of the green vein in his temple- you’re in trouble tonight. “you’re a fucking pain, you know that?”
“well if i’m such a fucking pain-”
your words are cut off by levi’s lips smashing against yours- the intoxicating taste of his soft skin bleeding into your mouth as his fingers thread through your hair, tightening to make you gasp in pain as your mind grows dizzy. he always has such an effect on you- he always makes your head spin and your heart thump against your ribcage with passion, admiration, love, lust and everything in between. but that’s why it always hurt so bad. 
“you really think i’m ashamed of you?” levi growls, his teeth biting into your swollen bottom lip and leaving a possessive stinging to linger in the wet skin. “you must be fucking joking.” his lips meet yours again, tongue sliding into your mouth as he swallows your breathless moans, hands fumbling with the hem of your shirt and only breaking away from you to slide it off. his cold hands slide along your chest, groping and pinching at the nipples that pebble under his touch, making you wince before he’s spinning you away from him, pushing you against the hard, wooden desk.
“i’m going to teach you a fucking lesson, you little brat.” he grunts, pressing against you as his belt unbuckles with a clink. you can feel his erection pressing against your ass, your thighs pressing together as wetness seeps into your panties, your heart thumping and blood pulsating through your ears as he presses kisses to the delicate skin of your neck, taking care to bite his teeth enough you’re sure you’ll be left with marks.
“levi-”
“that’s not what you should be calling me now, y/n.” you whimper when he grabs your wrists, pressing them together and cold leather tightens around them, leaving you bound with your hands wrestling helplessly. “you know you’re getting punished, don’t you?”
“sir, i-” levi cuts you off with his hand gripping your hair, pulling you back into a fervourous, fierce kiss- almost jarring compared to the soft touches he grazes along your jaw. his eyes are full of fire and lust when he pulls away but he’s soft for a moment when he presses his forehead against yours, hot breath lingering on your wet lips as he wipes the messy saliva away with the coarse pad of his thumb.
“do you want me to fuck you so hard you’ll never think i don’t care about you again? do you want me to fuck you so good you’ll know you’re mine- your pussy’s all mine- for everyone to know? you’ve got to be punished for being such a brat.” you whine at his words, nodding as your hands press against the leather confines of his belt, the cold buckle sending shivers down your body as your pussy clenches. you’re so wet, your panties feel uncomfortable as they cling to your soaked folds.
“yes please, sir! i’m sorry-” levi shushes you as he presses you down against the table, your forehead resting against the cold wood and your pebbled nipples rubbing against the surface, sending warm tingles running through you.
“if you’re so fucking sorry,” he says coldly as he rips down your jeans and pants. the air is cold against your wet folds, making you moan as you press your ass out with anticipation, knowing levi can see your drenched pussy and the wetness trickling down your thighs. “then count.”
you barely get to inhale when levi’s hand slaps down on your ass, a loud crack filling the room as you moan out loud.
“o-one!” the skin stings with the pain, soothed momentarily by his hand rubbing the reddened skin before he brings it down again, the force making the desk shake as you cry out. it hurts but it feels so good, your cunt throbbing as a pained thrill rushes through you, body hot as wetness trickles from your clenching hole.
“i told you to count, not just moan out for everyone to hear.” he tuts, waiting for you to stammer out a shaky ‘two’ before he slams his hand down again onto your glowing ass. “unless you want everyone to hear. you’d like that, wouldn’t you?”
each spank makes you moan, tears swelling in the corners of your eyes as your legs quiver and wetness seeps down your thighs, making a sticky mess which levi tuts at but he doesn’t stop till you’ve reached ten. his touch is gentle as he massages the red glowing skin that burns with the pain, pulling you off the table and into his hold, his lips meeting yours in a rewarding kiss. you whine against his lips, fingers digging into the leather belt as he cups your ass, squeezing the sore reddened skin and fingertips edging towards your wet folds.
“levi- i mean, sir, please.” you whimper, sighing as he presses open-mouthed kisses to your bruised neck. “please, let me touch you! you’re mine- i just want to touch you, please sir.” his cold eyes flash, a little ‘tch’ escaping but his fingers move to unbuckle the belt anyway.
it drops to the floor with a clang, the delicate skin of your wrists flushed red and levi gently rubs his fingertips against it before he pushes you against the desk, spreading your legs wide as his fingers trail up your messy thighs.
“you’ve made a mess all over yourself.” he tuts, sliding his fingers along your wet folds with your slick squelching. your pussy clenches as he edges towards your hole, thumb pressing against your swollen clit and eliciting a mewl from you as you reach out to thread your fingers through his black locks. “just from a punishment?”
“it’s because of you, sir.” levi’s graphite eyes widen at your tender words but the moment is cut short when he plunges two long fingers into you.
your squelching wetness offers no resistance to levi stretching out your tight walls with his scissoring movements, thumb swirling your clit as your head falls back with a deep moan, eyes fluttering shut at the stretch. it feels good, his fingers rubbing at your spongy walls and curling to hit all the right spots you love, your toes curling as warmth floods your body.
“s-sir!” you gasp when he curls to thrust against that sweet spot that makes your mind cloudy, your nails scraping against his scalp as your back arches, chest pushing into his. the pressure builds in the pit of your stomach, levi’s eyes ripping away from watching your pussy suck in his fingers, drenching his hand in your slick to watch your face contort with pleasure.
“are you going to cum?” he demands and you nod desperately, eyes clenching shut as you anticipate your orgasm hitting-
except it never does.
levi grits his teeth when he slides his fingers out of your tight pussy, your glistening slick coating his fingers as the pleasure fades.
“what?” your pussy clenches, legs pressing together as you squirm on the table, whining as you lock your arms around his neck, tugging him closer with desperation. “sir! make me cum please.”
“you can come on my cock, brat.”
“but-” you’re cut off with his fingers forcing their way into your mouth, pressing down on your tongue and you moan at the taste of yourself, his eyes watching carefully as you wrap your lips around his fingers, sucking and lapping them clean.
“that’s right.” he murmurs. “keep quiet and don’t argue back if you want to cum at all.” there’s a little twinge deep inside your chest at his words but you’re far too wet to care, your whines muffled by his fingers pressing down on his tongue as he unbuckles his pants, his hard cock pressing against the tight restrains of the fabric.
“turn around and bend over.”
you slide your lips off him with a wet pop, doing as you says and arching yourself low against the desk just how he likes. levi groans at the sight of your spread pussy waiting for him, folds drenched in your slick as he pumps his dick, leaking cockhead prodding against your hole. your nails scrape against the wood when he sheaths his cock in you, stretching out your tight walls and making you moan wantonly as he bottoms out, cock throbbing deep in your wet cunt. you clench around him, whining as you try to push your ass against him but he just tuts, slapping your ass punishingly before his hands grasp your hips, nails piercing deep into the soft skin.
“stop being so greedy.” he groans, voice deep and raspy with pleasure before he drives his cock into you. each thrust is punishing but so delicious- warm, electrifying pleasure runs through you as he fucks you, his long cock rubbing against your spongy walls with the lewd sounds of skin slapping against skin and your sinful moans filling the room.
“you’re so tight.” he grunts as you squeeze your walls tighter around him when he brushes against that sensitive spot that makes your eyes roll to the back of your head. your nipples rub against the table, only providing you with more pleasure as levi pounds into you, hand snaking around your waist to rub your hard, sensitive clit. “your pussy’s taking my cock so well. all mine- you’re mine,” he growls, his thrusts only growing faster and harder, hips snapping roughly into yours as your wetness drools from your tight pussy, the coil in your stomach growing tighter. “don’t forget that. and,” his hand suddenly leaves your hip to lock around your hair, pulling you off the table roughly to press your back flush agains his chest, his hips driving his cock sporadicly into your convulsing pussy. blood pounds in your ears and you’re so close, moaning with drool spilling from your lips as he sucks and nibbles marks along your throat. “don’t ever think i’m ashamed of you, my little brat.”
your orgasm hits heavy, waves of pleasure rushing through you as your walls convulse around his cock, the hand on your hair slipping down to lock around your throat. the lack of air makes your head spin with the dizzying euphoria swimming through you, your walls squeezing around levi’s cock as he continues to fuck you through your high, your moans falling freely as your body shakes around him, drenching him in your release. his deep moans are gruff against your skin, head falling onto your shoulder as his throbbing cock twitches as he cums deep inside you.
you’re panting as he holds you steady, your legs suddenly weak with a deep ache between your legs, his hands gentle as they massage your damp skin.
“come on,” he mumbles as the lustful haze starts to clear in your mind and a bitter taste settles on your tongue. “let’s go shower before dinner.”
***
you’re painfully aware of the eyes that burn into you and levi when you enter the mess hall for dinner, no doubt curious of the scolding you must’ve received from the intimidating captain. and you know the drill- you’ll get your food and eat with some other scouts your age, rarely opting to sit with your boyfriend and the other seniors like hange or erwin to avoid suspicion but much to your surprise, levi calls your name and points to the seat beside him. hange and erwin look surprised when you take the seat, sighing heavily at the heaviness in your chest. sure, levi had fucked you good enough but you’re still a secret, still pretending like there’s nothing between you both and it hurts. why can’t you just simply be good enough? why couldn’t he be happy to tell everyone you’re together?
“y/n, your neck is all bruised.” erwin says, narrowing his blue eyes at the deep purple marks that litter your throat, making you freeze as the heat rises to your cheeks. you can’t even bear to look at levi, not even when he presses his leg against yours.
“oh, i must’ve gotten hurt-”
“no. that’s my handiwork.” levi says plainly. a silence settles as you all stare at him with shock, your heart thumping as you can’t even bear to stammer out words but hange’s loud cackle fills the hall instead.
“yours?!” they cry, looking from you to levi in amazement. “you guys are fucking?” levi tuts sharply, scowling at the squad leader with a look of irritation.
“not like that, four eyes. we’re dating.”
erwin and hange gasp as you squirm under their gaze, glancing at levi shyly with a pointed look.
“levi-”
“i thought you were sick of hiding it- and besides there’s no reason to keep it a secret.” a small subtle smile tugs at his lips when his eyes meet yours, sparkling when you return it- only it’s ruined by hange’s loud laugh.
“look at them!” they tease. “they have a secret look!”

sending from my non-bnha blog but like... can we have some reader catching a attitude and katsuki being a lil bit... like... who the hell are you TALKING to?? i'm walking around mad as hell and I want him to shut me up 🥺🥺
this is almost embarrassing for me to post bc i got this request about 945404359234580 years ago....... but i dug it up again and thought id finish it. i dont really.... feel like bakugo is himself in this and didnt want to write the solution... buttttttttt i put effort into the rest of it so i dont want it to... rot, either.
enjoy :((
(warnings: none i think)

Katsuki Bakugo is a lot of things.
He is fierce.
He is determined… in the face of adversity, to right the wrongs of others and to fix what is broken.
And he is strong, carrying the weight of his own little world (and that of Japan’s) on his shoulders, always and forever, wherever he goes… defending it not only for the sake himself, but for others, as well.
Katsuki Bakugo is a lot of things. But he is not a bad boyfriend. In fact, he’s a good one, a great one at that... one who knows what he wants, and when he gets it, is willing to work so he can keep it. Take care of it. Protect it… and over the course of your relationship, all ups and downs included (from spilling coffee on his favorite shirt during your second date to the time he accidentally set your couch on fire while watching an All Might rerun on TV), that is the only thing you’ve known.
Sure, he is not exactly gentle nor smooth and well-sanded around his edges... but he is kind in his own way, like when he asks you about your day after ranting about his own. When he listens to you, silently, attentively… and when he makes you dinner after a long day of work, all for nothing but a few kisses and hugs (ones he doesn’t have to ask for) in return.
And that is how he likes it. He separates his work, his ethic, from his relationship. Treasures you the way he knows his mom treasured his dad... despite her fiery temper (the one thing he got from her) and all of the fights in between.
But that doesn’t matter… because what does is the fact that he loves you.
Loves the way you react when he is sweet (or rather, considerate and gentle… something reserved for when he’s alone with you)… loves when you smile at him, before tucking him into a hug he can’t help but fall into.
And loves when you understand that he can’t be everything at once… because love is balanced perfectly on the scales that are unbearable and overwhelming, the same way it is not meant to be experienced alone.
Katsuki Bakugo is a lot of things. And when he is nice, he expects niceness right back.
-
It has been a long day.
Granted, Bakugo’s days are always long; filled to the brim with packed punches and bloody palms that leave his body aching, and what seems like unending, boring patrols and paperwork while he’s recovering.
But something is different. Maybe it’s just in the air, hot and dry, cracking his lips and steaming up his car on the way home, or the crick in his neck, and the way it’s been bugging him since he woke up to your…
Or maybe, it’s the fact that you have had a long day, too.
He knows the moment he gets home. Your purse laying scattered on the floor, your shoes next to his, uneven by crumpled socks. It’s rare that he gets home to sight of your personal belongings not tucked away safely where they should be, and even more so when you don’t bother to greet him, the house quiet aside from the usual sounds of late summer outside.
He doesn’t ask when he finds you, hunched over your computer as though you want to set the keyboard on fire... but that doesn’t mean he’s not instantly, perceptively aware of the way you regard him, all shrugging and bristles when he leans over your shoulder to press a kiss to your cheek that you do not meet him halfway for.
Even if the boy in him from ten, fifteen years ago tells him to be livid, and to tear your head right off your shoulders for shrugging him off… Bakugo forgives you. Recognizes, instantly, the nature of relationships and the fact that things aren't always going to be nice…
Because that’s what good boyfriends do. And because that’s what you do for him when he’s angry, too.
Despite the annoyance that bubbles in the pit of his stomach (set off by feeling of he cannot place), and the fact that all he wants to do is cook dinner with you, watch a show, and then go to bed (together)… he doesn’t really mind. Not deep down, not where it counts.
And he lets it go.
-
“You hungry?”
Bakugo stands by the door to your shared office, finally able to start peeling off the sweaty layers of his underclothes, ready to settle down into his usual routine of bugging you about what to make for dinner.
“Maybe we could get takeout, spare us from the fu-“ he pauses, biting his tongue, “dishes for once.”
You barely mumble out an acknowledgement, the sound of your hum nothing in comparison to the bass of his own voice, and Bakugo is turning to look at you sideways with quirked brows.
“You want Thai? Noodles?”
“Sure, babe.”
Usually you are receptive to his comments, even on the days when you are busy or tired, often bantering back and forth with him or at least answering in kind… though by now, he has noticed the way you don’t even look at him, your voice falling flat, and uninterested.
“Shitty baby?” he questions, with bated breath… and you snap.
“Bakugo,” his jaw shuts when you slam your hands down on your desk and turn to look at him, his eyes immediately narrowing into slits with only the intensity a hero like him could have. You nearly spit at him, and the words sting. “I’m busy.”
Bakugo knows this, and part of him offended and angry. Hurt, in a way. Not deeply, because again he’s strong and understanding… but he’s your boyfriend, of all people, your baby sweet and love, and for all the effort he puts into offering you kindness, he doesn’t want to be regarded as though he doesn’t care or isn’t trying.
“What’s with the fuckin’ attitude?” he complains harshly (to no one, he realizes too late), still stunned and trying to brush off your hostility.
You glance at him again from over you shoulder, barely moving as you wait for his attention. He gives it, though you hardly notice.
“Shut up.”
You turn back to the computer, and Bakugo’s blood instantly runs cold; all the warmth and love he feels for you in his heart temporarily draining into a storage box as though you are a villain and he is at work.
“What?”
He looks at you, the words rough and heavy on his tongue… and you don’t even seem to acknowledge him, still hunched over the laptop on your desk in as you continue to stare at him and sigh.
“I said,” you say, brows lowered and shoulders tense, your fingers continuing to slam against the keyboard. “Shut the fuck up, Bakugo”
The words don’t register at first. They’re clear as day, true, but they don’t sink in the way that they should, lost to his fight or flight instincts and the fact that for the most part, he trusts you enough not to activate such a thing.
You… being mean to Bakugo? It almost doesn’t compute… where is the person who he is familiar with, the one who smiles when he cannot… and he finds himself getting terse.
Angry.
Stomping to your side, height way above where you sit in the plush deckchair he got for you when you first moved into together, he quickly spins you around to face him… and your jaws fits into Bakugo’s rough hand like a child’s.
His frown deepens the closer he leans into to speak to you. “Wanna say that again for me?”
You let out a puff of air, your own eyes narrowing as you stare at his face and blink.
“Shut,” your lips pop, “the fuck up.”
Bakugo says your name like it hurts. Like there’s a fire in his chest. Like you are someone he loves who just stabbed him… and maybe you did.
“Who’re you fuckin’ talking to like that, baby?”
His voice is icy, stern as though he’s speaking to someone he is interrogating, and Bakugo can feel you swallow underneath his fingertips despite how you refuse to back down.
“You,” the words are slurred from how he squishes your cheeks together,
“Who?” he asks again, teeth grit.
“Bakugo.”
“Who,” and it is no longer a question.
“Katsuki,” you spit. “My boyfriend.”
“That’s right,” he confirms, and he barks out a laugh at your silence, the sneer forming on his lips tight and mocking. “Your boyfriend… and I don’t think thats how boyfriends usually get treated.”
He lets go of your face, turning to leave the room as your body sags back into your desk chair...
“Let me know when you want to start acting like my fucking girlfriend again.”
