the thing abt rowena and alistair that kills me is how her making him king is (in her head) an act of love in the same way her parents sending her with duncan against her will was
#forcing fate on another bc it’s your only means of protecting them#dooming them to a life they never wanted but at least they’ll live a few years long#*longer#in her head there isn’t even a choice and that is fucked up!! of course there’s a choice!! his choice!!#bc in her head as long as he is alive he’s a threat to the crown and people will never leave him be#and she can’t trust anora because anora is too much like her and she’s already been wounded by the people in power#too much to trust anyone other than herself#so she makes him king and promises she’ll carry all of the burden and he relents only because he loves her#it’s so messed up !! tbqh !! warden alistair is the ideal to me#but it’s just not something rowena would do#there’s commentary about how a deeply traumatized TWENTY YEAR OLD should not be the one deciding the fate of a country#too much power in the hands of a girl so angered at those whose actions put her there#idk why i’m rambling i just. that decision is awful yet so complex. there’s so much going on there and so much that intersects !!#her and alistair her and anora her and eamon and loghain and howe…..#i know ppl hate when alistair isn’t a warden and especially when he’s still softened while made king it’s just !! it’s abt The Narrative 😔#and they end up okay. they do. they’re okay. he doesn’t hate her for it. they love each other Too Much. it’s just !! u know !! a flaw !!#anyways.txt#ch: rowena cousland#x: a soft epilogue

surprise post bc my blogs fixed woo hoo!! i initially sent this as an ask to @hanasnx as my contribution to his baby daddy!jason au, but i also wanted to share it here for u guys as a little treat :p
Baby Daddy!Jason, who you co-parent with, in a very civilized way. No joke, the picture of camaraderie between exes. He takes your daughter on the days he's supposed to (which isn't that often, given his occupation) and brings her back on time, always with a little gift for you as well. Flowers, chocolates, a little knick-knack reminiscent of when you were together. It's not because he's in love with you or anything; it's just the principle of the matter. "Happy wife, happy life," not that you were married or even dating, but he figures the mother of his child should get love sometimes.
Baby Daddy!Jason, who, the next time he sees you, it's to drop off something your daughter forgot with him, and as he's handing you the bag, he casually asks why you haven't been asking him to take her more often. You had been for a while when you were going on dates weekly, but for some reason, the relationships never went anywhere, so you just gave up. "Oh, you know, it just wasn't working out." you say off-handedly, "Kept getting ghosted." you sound only marginally disappointed, moreso annoyed. "What a shame, they're really missing out," he says, getting real close to you and taking up your entire field of vision.
Baby Daddy!Jason, who's got your entire calendar memorized and knows that his daughter's not home tonight and that you've got no plans other than watching movies in solitude. He knows you're too stubborn to call him over for company even though you've been giving him fuck me eyes in passing for the past few months, so he figures he just has to take matters into his own hands and corner you until you give in like he knows you want to.
Baby Daddy!Jason, who fucks you on damn near every surface in the house, telling you he's just christening the place like he would've already done if you lived together. Whispers apologies in your ears about scaring off all of your dates while he's splitting you open, bullying his cock into you while your eyes roll to the back of your head because you haven't been fucked this good in years, not since the last time you'd been with him. You're face is deep in some pillows when you realize the memories you had of his dick pale in comparison to the real thing, and you aren't sure you could go back to using your imagination to get off after tonight.
Baby Daddy!Jason, who keeps you up all night until your pussy's red and puffy from how many times it'd come in contact with his hips while he was fucking you. Fat tip kissing your cervix until you were clawing at his biceps, begging him to give you some reprieve, tears in your eyes while you babbled incoherently, too lost in the feeling of him to make any sense. He admits in the midst of sex that he tried to get over you; he really did, but he just couldn't; he just couldn't picture you with another man in any capacity. The thought of someone else touching you, fucking you, loving you, made his stomach turn, filling him with rage and an overwhelming need to claim you as his.
Baby Daddy!Jason, who's a level-headed, non-fragile ego'd man until it comes to his family, which, contrary to what some would say, did not only consist of his daughter but you too, and any guy who tried to get with you was a threat. he didn't know the intentions of other men, but he knew his own, which was to keep his little family happy as long as he was alive. If that meant putting a gun to the head of anyone who made a move on you and consoling you by stretching you out the way he knew you liked until you just said "fuck it" and let him put another baby in you, then so be it.

thinking abt wearing jason's initial on a necklace but in a taylor swift kind of way
-🕷️
THIS THIS THIS CALL IT WHAT YOU WANT
I WANT TO WEAR HIS INITIAL ON A CHAIN ROUND MY NECK CHAIN ROUND MY NECK NOT BC HE OWNS ME BUT CAUSE HE REALLY KNOWS ME WHICH IS MORE THAN THEY CAN SAY-
ANYWAy
Here's the thing about the fucking press, since the moment they found out Jason was alive, they've never let him breathe. Your relationship went public against your will only two months after he was declared legally alive. Since then the opinion on your relationship had fluctuated. Sometimes there were fan accounts and other times you were sent death threats. Jason did what he could, but he couldn't stop everything.
The worst that happened was when you went with some friends. It was just dinner on a balcony at a nice restaurant. Jason had gone to some concert with one of his siblings. To be honest, you were too drunk to remember which. You were out with three friends two of you were drunk. The birthday boy doesn’t like to drink, but he gave the ok for everyone else. One other friend stayed sober and offered to be the designated driver.
You're solidly drunk. Drunk enough to actually be excited to take pictures. Drunk enough to be laughing the whole time. Drunk enough to try to call your cat on the phone.
Either way, you're singing happy birthday while your friends are taking pictures so you lean over to kiss the birthday boy's cheek and tell him "HappsyBirthay!" He laughs and thanks you. It's a good time. Your other drunk friend kisses him on the other cheek and takes a picture of it on his phone. It's cute. It's fun. But it is 11:30 pm and time to go home.
You're about to get in the designated driver's car when he asks for your address. You don’t invite people over much, what with Jason having to go on patrol and bloody bats dropping in. You're also drunk enough to not know your address. "That's a relly diffisult queshion. Do you know the answer?" You look over to the birthday boy; he's been to your apartment a few times to have lunch and feed the cat.
He looks over at the designated driver. "I don’t know the address, but I know to get there... Don't worry about it. I'll take her home."
"We goin home?"
He laughs. "Yeah."
"Holy shit! Is Jason gunna be there?" He puts his arm around your waist to guide you into his car so you don’t fall.
"I don’t know. You said he was going out tonight, but I don’t know if he's back yet." He laughs again and waves goodbye to your other friends before he buckles himself into the driver's seat.
The car ride home is mostly quiet. You're half asleep, and it's not long until your friend is pulling into the parking garage. He taps your shoulder and asks for your key. You don’t know where it is. He asks for your phone. You hand it over, and he asks Siri to call Jason.
Jason picks up after half a ring.
"Hello?"
"Hey, man. It's me. We're in the parking garage and your wonderful girlfriend is too drunk to find her keys. Any chance you're home."
You hear Jason's voice ask something about articles, news, and pictures before you fall asleep again.
A few minutes pass and someone's calling your name and unbuckling your seatbelt. You look over and see Jason leaning over you.
"J'son!"
"Hey, sweetheart."
"I missd you." He grabs your bag off the floor.
"I missed you too. Hey can you give me your phone?"
You nod your head and hand him the phone.
"I'm gonna pick you up. Ready?"
"Yeah!" He lifts you up while you shout "Weeeee!"
He closes the car with his shoe and turns toward your friend. "Thanks, man. Happy Birthday. Sorry about everything."
"'s no problem. Take care of her. Bye."
You don’t remember much of the elevator ride up or getting in pajamas or getting in bed. But you remember waking up. That wasn't fun.
Jason makes you breakfast, and that in itself isn't out of the ordinary at all, but he's acting weird. Every time you ask for your phone he says "I'll give it to you in a minute."
You can't take it anymore. "Jay, just tell me what happened. You're killing me. Did I post anything dumb while drunk again?"
"No." He sighs and grabs your phone out his pocket before opening up an article. You take your phone from him and read the headline. You feel sick.
"Jason Todd and Girlfriend Broke Up! Finally She's Gone"
You take a bite of eggs off Jason's plate and keep reading.
"Here's the evidence:
"nobody's heard from the couple for months, not even so much as an instagram post from the once vocal couple
"Todd was seen last night at a concert singing his heart out to breakup songs, images below
"and most damning of all: the now would-be ex-girlfriend was spotted last night getting cozy and leaving with new man, exclusive photos below!"
You scroll and see zoomed in photos of you kissing your friend's cheek and getting into his car. You bang your forehead into the counter repeatedly. Jason puts his hand over the spot you're hitting your head against. You look to him and he looks apologetic.
"I'd prefer if you didn’t read the rest. I don’t think Vicki Vale likes you very much. I'm having Bruce sue the company right now."
You try to hit your head into the table again and he grabs your cheek to stop you. He leaves his hand there. This time, you look apologetic.
"I'm sorry. It just makes me upset when people think I don’t love you or that you don’t love me." You meet his eyes and he's smiling.
"I had an idea."
He pulls two small boxes from his pockets and you stop yourself from making a comment about the size of men's pockets. Before you have the time to freak out, questioning what's in the boxes, he opens them. They're necklaces with the initials of your first names. He takes the one with your initial and puts it around his neck. The chain on his is longer than the other one.
"Obviously you don’t have to, I just had a feeling you might want to. I'm not trying to put a brand on you-"
You cut him off with a kiss.
"I'm never taking it off."

(the executive dysfunction monster hit me too, i fear. was stuck between babydaddy!red hood and babydaddy!arkham knight, but i settled on red hood bc i'm choosing to gatekeep my ak thoughts)

⠀「 Good Game 」 
Tumblr media
Reblogs are greatly appreciated !!  
「 FEAT : 」 Kazuha x gn! reader
「 ### : 」 Starts out a lil tense but it’s fluff !! Suggestiveness? Kissing and sort of making out?? But nothing too wild. Flirty & cocky kazuha and flirty & competitive reader !! Modern AU. 
「 CWS : 」 Use of pseudo guns & a pseudo battle but (spoiler!!) its just a rlly intense laser tag game lmao. Reader gets pinned against the wall at one point, but it’s highly implied that you could escape whenever.
Collab entry for my beloved @anantaru​ & @bluexiao​ ‘s Sweet N Spice collab ♡
also if you see me posting this like 4 days before the deadline no you dont edit: reposting this bc it wasn’t showing up in tags 💔
Tumblr media
There is the rhythmic thump of your blood pulsing in your ears, only contested by your ragged breaths and the distant noise of laser fire. Your heart is pounding in your chest, muscles wound tight and ready to spring into action at the barest hint of danger. There is sheer adrenalin running through your veins, your fight or flight instinct not having rested ever since the threat had made itself known.
It’s darker than you would have liked, the place illuminated only by painfully bright strobing lights of different colors— every time those lights flash, you’re not sure what’s enemy fire and what isn’t. Every time, you nearly jump out of your skin.
Cautiously, you dare to peek out from behind the wall where you’ve taken shelter. The lights don’t reveal any assailants prowling in your sight, so you give yourself the space to breathe a sigh of relief. The gun in your hand, pulsing with fluorescent lights,  feels too heavy for your tired limbs. The ache only makes itself more known as the seconds tick by, and it mounts when you sneak a glance at the small screen on your forearm, where you can keep track of your comrades’ status. 
All but two names had been greyed out.
Among your teammates, Ayaka had fallen not too long ago, with Thoma also biting the dust taking revenge on her murderer. The numbers on each opposing side dwindled little by little from there, and now only Yoimiya’s and your own name remained. She had gone on her own path a while ago to deal with one of the two enemies remaining, and you suppose knowing that she isn’t yet out of the fight is reassuring. But the faint flashing light on the battery of your gun —almost out of ammunition, fuck— is enough to send a pit right back into your stomach. 
You don’t know how much longer you can keep yourself alive, barely managing to dance out of the line of fire and shooting back when you can. There might not be enough juice left in this thing, you think, swallowing. Likely not enough to last you if you ran into—
“There you are.”
A totally embarrassing surprised scream absolutely does not leave your person— not even when you’re gripped by the shoulders, twisted around until your back is pressed against the wall you had just been hiding behind. A hand flies to the back of your head to soften the impact, another going to pull your wrists — and your goddamn gun— over your head. Caught between a rock and a hard place, you can’t just blindly shoot and hope you’ll hit. The chances of even you pulling a stunt like that off was too improbable. 
The low laugh but a few inches from your face lets you know who it is long before the gaudy strobing lights do. 
Kazuha.
“You excel at running and hiding,” he says, teeth flashing in a grin. “Now if only your aim were half as good.”
Your mind races for a solution. With only his hands touching you to hold you in place, Kazuha’s chest heaves slightly from exertion and his breath is warm where is fans on your skin. No doubt, whatever adrenaline-fueled high you had been on, he’s running on the same thing.
“Oh shush,” you all but growl, eyes narrowed in a glare. “Gloating before you take me out? Really?”
“Only because it’s you, my love,” he says, and though you roll your eyes, indignation at his confidence flaring in your chest, you can’t deny how your stomach flips at the pet name. ‘My love.’ Oh, that’s a good one.
“It would have been better if you stayed away from me,” Kazuha says, grin turning a little sharp, a little smug. “Perhaps you could have won. ”
You resist the urge to stick your tongue out at him, instead schooling your features and leveling him with a flirtatious smile. Minutely, you wiggle your wrists in his hold, and his grip loosens slightly in response.
It’s easy enough to make your voice as flirty as possible when it’s Kazuha you’re talking to— “Would you like a prize then, oh humble winner?”
He grows silent either out of surprise or wonder, the hint in your words not lost on him. Kazuha’s gaze flits down to your lips, taken by the way you (purposefully) smile in the way that has him weak. He barely takes a second to accept— the hold on your wrists is gone, he’s pulling you against him with an arm curled comfortably around your middle, and the hand that cushioned you is now gently guiding your lips to melt against his. You drape your arms over his shoulders, careful not to accidentally bash your weapon against the side of his head, and kiss him back just as well. 
The kiss is something fueled by the adrenaline that you’ve both been running on, as well as the high of your chase. Though there is still romance, some hints of softness— Kazuha is tender where he holds you close to him, and the way presses his lips to yours is hungry, but not overbearing. Even when he squeezes with the arm around you, tight enough that you gasp into the kiss, the smile you feel on his lips is soft and fond. 
The kiss is hardly long enough to have you gasping for breath, but it’s not lost on you how Kazuha quickly relaxes into the contact, fitting against you like a puzzle piece, at ease in your arms.
You press yourself even closer against him with your arms shifting around slightly— he hums, focused on nothing more but your lips against his. So focused, in fact, that he doesn’t even wonder when your arms shift deliberately, and he barely processes the fact that he can feel a solid object pressing against his back and the fabric of his vest— 
Pew! 
…Beep!…Beep!
You pull away from the kiss and Kazuha’s eyes fly open just as his vest starts blaring the bright, red lights of an eliminated player and the neon of the laser gun on his belt shuts off with a sad little ‘wuuw.’
A moment of silence passes by with you grinning up at him triumphantly, watching as Kazuha’s brain is gradually shocked back to the land of the living. In the distance, you hear the exaggeratedly distraught cry of Tomo from across the laser tag venue at the ‘death’ of his brother-in-arms, nearly drowned out by Yoimiya’s cheering, the both of them pausing in their shootout for but a second before the distant sounds of laser guns start up again. 
While he’s still reeling from your whole ass betrayal, you press a quick kiss on Kazuha’s lips, holstering your near-dead laser gun. The contact seems to shock him back to reality, and he quickly levels you with a judgmental, accusatory glare. 
“You planned that,” is all he says, squinting at you. There’s a near-imperceptible amazement in his tone, as well as grudging respect because hey, for as on-the spot and scuffed to hell as it was, your plan worked.
Nonchalant, your smile only widens. 
“Maybe you should’ve stayed away from me, hot stuff,” you say with a laugh. Before Kazuha can retort something witty, you cup either side of his jaw, pulling him down into another kiss that he once more melts into. You’ll leave Yoimiya to take the win for your team— kissing the boy in your hands is already a satisfying enough victory.

In a scenario where Baela dies fighting in the war, how do you think she would have died? What impact would it have on the story or the other characters, in your opinion?
hey anon this answer wound up being a bit more rambly than i intended because there's just a lot of moving parts at the very end of the Dance so bare with me here-
now to be fair Baela almost DID die in her suicide swan dive against Aegon and Sunfyre - Aegon nearly died as well, Sunfyre died of his wounds a few days later, and Moondancer died on impact. So very likely, what happens is that Baela attempts to jump from Moondancer to spare her dragon and just lands worse than Aegon did. It’s possible Moondancer survives but since she always seemed to be a bit of a smaller dragon, I’m not sure it’s likely. Hopefully, Baela also dies on impact because if not she’s in for a slow, agonizing death just like Sunfyre.
How does this affect the Dance? Well for one thing, it means Corlys and Alyn have very little reason to stay loyal to the Greens when Alicent has Corlys brought up out of the dungeons; they don’t have a convenient hostage to keep him behaving besides Aegon the Younger (“do what i say or we kill your distant cousin and the only heir left to the throne” is an empty threat whereas “do what we say or we kill your granddaughter” is a real and present danger). I think there’s a not unlikely chance one of the left over Greens makes a more solid attempt at getting into the Vale to nab Rhaena and Morning to keep Corlys on his best behavior. I think it’s also possible that Aegon’s rage at Sunfyre’s death transfers to his nephew. Aegon the Younger wasn’t involved at all but Aegon is near inconsolable and completely irrational at this point. It’s not just the traumatizing loss of his dragon - a dragon he thought was safe back in KL! - but also being drugged up on milk of the poppy, and how completely fucked his legs are at this point. It’s really easy to imagine him turning on the Younger, which is dangerous for the Elder when there is a dearth of male heirs.
Especially because the biggest change here isn’t corlys, it’s ALYN. Alyn only joins the Greens and transports them to KL because Aegon threatens to kill Baela & Corlys sends word to stand down. If Baela is dead, and Alyn finds out that she died fighting Aegon, I think he starts screaming to high heaven that Aegon is a kinslayer and no true king. If Corlys figures Rhaena is safe and agrees with Alyn’s assessment that there can be no more peace with Aegon II because he killed Baela, well…the fighting stretches out a bit longer.
Alyn will attack Dragonstone and attempt to save Aegon the Younger. The Greens on Dragonstone have no way of escaping because all the dragons are dead. And while this attack is happening, what’s left of the Blacks are marching on KL.
So there’s two prongs here - either Alyn attacks or he doesn’t. If he does, and the war ends more clearly with Rhaenyra’s army winning, that might mean something important for the line of succession going forward, like Aegon the Younger being recorded as Rhaenyra’s heir. If Alyn can’t get Aegon III off Dragonstone - if he dies in the attack perhaps - Westeros faces a MASSIVE succession crisis bc there’s no CHOICE but to crown Baela or Rhaena as ruling QUEEN (bc they all think Viserys is dead) (bc Corlys didn’t let Aegon II live in the OG timeline, he’s not gonna let Aegon II live after Baela dies in a face off against Aegon. Aegon is DOOMED so long as Corlys lives and I don’t think Alicent would kill Corlys because he’s her only real shot at keeping the peace and not losing her own head when the Lads get to the capital, ntm she has Jaehaera to think of). The Aegons are Westeros’ get out of the dance free card - they can keep their absolute male primogeniture laws, they can justify whatever dumb decisions they made during the war, because they have these two alive when most of the fighting has stopped. If the fighting doesn’t stop, and it gets them killed, they’re fucked. They’re not inherently doomed to die at Dragonstone though - it’s barely being defended, so it’s possible Alyn takes it easily and forces II to give himself over, which is again a more clear win for Rhaenyra over Aegon. That might mean something - or it might mean nothing.
If Alyn doesn’t attack, the whole thing likely goes the same way just without Baela there. And what changes is the Velaryons - besides the close bond that formed during the war, Alyn’s attraction to Baela is rooted in the fact that she’s a true born Velaryon descendant and spent much of her life on Driftmark. Without her, i think Alyn may overcompensate a bit for his illegitimacy - maybe he takes fewer risks, maybe he marries one of Vaemond’s side of the family (pls not Daenaera i’m literally begging), maybe he tries to get close to Rhaena. Maybe he marries a nice Celtigar girl. Maybe his wife never has a living child so when he has his affair with Elaena, Jon Waters becomes Jon Velaryon.
I think we would see a Corlys, Aegon III, and Rhaena that are much more devastated by the war. Rhaena and Corlys seem more or less okay by the ending of F&B, with Corlys dying at an old age wjth much fanfare, and Rhaena still a respected noblewoman and dragonrider. Without Baela surviving, the end of the war for them looks especially bleak.

Headcanons! Could I please ask for your headcanons on how David would have been like if Jonathan had lived!
(or, for the sake of not deviating the whole story altoghether bc either way David was meant to be king at some point. What if like, Jonathan had gone into hidding like what happened to Mephibosheth and later on met with David to tell him that, hey, he's actually alive so :D. Honestly im just asking bc the idea of Jonathan teaching Jedediah/Solomon how to court and judge others got stuck to my head when I was writting my Testament of Solomon rewritte and that got me to think even more like, would Jonathan get along with Abigail, would David had stopped seeking out women to marry if Jonathan had run away with him, would Absalom or the other childre of David had confided secrets in him more than with his father because they trusted him more, or would the court had tried to make Jonathan guilty of a coup at some point, maybe a lot of times, due to his past royal background, and ofc how would Jonathan have raised his son?)
Sorry if this was long ᓚᘏᗢ boop!
You are giving me food and being able to talk about it!!! :D
My headcanon would be if Jonathan had lived, his and David's relationship would have continued to be romantic and supportive!
I think Jonathan would first go into hiding and try to find his son first. Mephibosheth would still become disabled due to all the chaos when the news comes to the palace. But I don't think they would go into hiding for too long. Abner was supportive to Saul’s family first, heck, he probably would see David as a threat towards Jonathan instead.
And when they reunite, Jonathan would have either stepped down from his role as the next king or maximized David's status, so they would essentially be two kings ruling one kingdom. He did give an oath and his title as king to David when they last met each other, so it would make sense that he kept his word.
David would still pursue other marriages for political alliances, likewise Jonathan too. However, I do believe that David wouldn't take Michal back because the only reason why he forced her to be his wife again was that he pretty much wanted to secure his political position as a king. Having Jonathan there on his side already supporting him, it wouldn't be necessary to marry her. All his other wives, I think he would still marry them for political reasons. Bathsheba though… I don't think he would seek her out… Or maybe David would. For me, he is a bit promiscuous. But I do like the idea that he wouldn't be as interested if Jonathan were still around.
There is a scene in The Prince's Psalm where David and Jonathan talk to each other about their boundaries in their relationship. Jonathan wants children, but he doesn't want to pick a random woman only to discard her after giving birth to a child, he wants to honor his children's mother by marrying her and taking care of her. But also secured David by saying that it's okay for him as well to marry and love another woman too, but ended with the decision that they are not allowed to take any male lovers.
It sounds fun that Jonathan would be friends with Abigail. Maybe they are two peas in a pod because David picked Abigail for love, unlike the other wives. And Abigail is the same "type" as Jonathan. That would be cute.
I do think that the majority of the royal drama would be more about people not trusting David. The second book of Samuel is just David getting rid of all his political enemies and marrying every high-royal-woman to secure his position. The reason why Saul's other family members, such as Jonathan's half-brothers, revolt against David is that they are the "true" line of the royal lineage. So if Jonathan was still in the picture and became king, then that drama of power wouldn't be so much on the nose.
Absalom and David's other children might have indeed confided in Jonathan, finding solace and other stuff when David wasn't emotionally available. Especially when Amnon attacks Tamar and everything just crumbles. Maybe the situation would look different when David forgives Absalom for killing Amnon, and by having another parental figure, maybe Absalom wouldn't decide to revolt against his father?
And if Absalom still decided to revolt against David, Mephibosheth would still be left behind in safety in the royal palace. And I don't think that the servant Ziba would be able to trick David into "disowning" Mephibosheth when Absalom takes over the palace. I don't think Jonathan would ever let that happen, but also David and Mephibosheth's relationship would be different in a way. I have a headcanon that David is very overprotective of Mephibosheth but he also puts him on a pedestal, so when someone lies about him, David immediately believes that lie because he actually doesn't really know who Mephibosheth actually is.
But that is all I have to say for now! I probably missed some thoughts I would like to bring up. But my brain is empty at the moment!

Please do an imagine (Not a head cannon please!!) Where the task force 141 lads are on a mission and finds a young girl 8/9. Maybe her dad was a criminal or smth and they took her in?? IDK haha Just thought it would be cute
No i like this bc it's not an x reader like i usually do!! I'm so sorry it took so long!! i've been trying to come up with ideas!!
The best worst case
The mission was an easy one; simple. Price knew that his team was the best of the best and that is why he chose them. He selected his team and each person on it for their skill; never had a doubt behind it. He was chosen as the leader for the team, because of his commanding force and drive.
The team touched down a few miles away and they slowly moved in towards the city, in formation. They knew their target and they knew that he had men all over the city. Their main objective was to get into the center of town and take the leader down; dead or alive.
Soap and Ghost paired off like usual and so did Price and Gaz. They were able to cover more ground that way; being in a team to cover and protect each other always. They always made sure to communicate with each other over the comms; checking in, sharing locations, sharing health updates, and mission updates.
"Soap, Ghost in position. Price, Gaz where you guys at?" Soap asked over the comms and the two men knelt down two next to the center town building. "In position. On my count."
The four men stormed the building, taking down the first wave of guarding. Price made sure to check in on his men, so far none of them taking at hits. Price and Gaz were the first ones to reach the control room, where the leader would be. They stormed in and were met by a barrage of bullets.
Price pushed Gaz for cover and dove after him, making sure they both had cover. "GAZ! You good?" Price shouted over the gunshots and Gaz nodded, grabbing his gun. The two men made quick work of taking down all the men in the room, including the main reason for the mission; the leader.
The two men looked at each other and nodded. "Target is K.I.A. Boys, status?" Price stood while Gaz cleared the room of any remaining threats. "Uh Price. We got a minor issues." Ghost responded and Price's brows drew together. "Heading your way."
Price and Gaz made their way towards Soap and Ghost. They found the two men standing outside a room, arguing with each other. "What is going on?" Price asked and Ghost opened the door.
The room looked like a child's room. The walls were painted a pale pink, toys for a kid everywhere, and school supplies on a small table. A bed was positioned in the corner and there was a young girl sitting on it, looking at Price with wide eyes.
"Fuck. Command, we got a child. Think she may be one of the guard's. Bringing her back." Price spoke into his comm, looking back at his team. Soap rolled his eyes, clearly mad. "We've never done this for any child before. Why now?" He said and walked out of view. Price shook his head before putting his gun away. He moved in front of her and knelt down to her eye level.
"Hi. Do you understand me?" The young girl withdrew in on herself and nodded, wrapping her arms around her knees. "Good. We have to take you out of here, I'm sorry. I know you probably don't want that." Price held out his hand and the young girl slowly placed her small hand in his.
Price helped the girl stand and he picked her up, holding her against his chest. The team watched the way Price held the young girl. He always had a protective, fatherly attitude towards the rest of them so it made sense he would act this way towards her.
While Soap didn't like that they were taking this young girl, he did feel an urge to protect her. So the three men formed a protective circle around Price and the girl as they left the building.
They soon got to the evac location, where the plane was waiting. Price boarded the plan and the girl clung to him. He sat down and looked at the rest of the team. "We will find her a home and get her an education."

i know oda is the blorbo of all time if im remembering correctly, but what's your top 5 bungo favs?
AAAAAA
omygosh!! An ask from you??
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Sure!! Hmm.. tbh besides Oda, I haven't really thought about it that much. But I'll think hold on
******************** (pending) *******
5 bungo favs (besides Oda 🤭)
BEAST Atsushi
: ugh. something about how he is literally how Atsushi would be like if Atsushi was in the PM. There's just something that attracts me to him. Like most characters in BSD, he isn't evil and doesn't enjoy the things he does. He's deeply traumatized. He has a shy-kind personality but is placed in the PM where he's made to be a murderer. Interestingly, he isn't as obsessed with BEAST Dazai's approval as Akutagawa was with Canon Dazai (maybe bc Dazai liked Atsushi more? idk..) But BEAST Atsushi has sm going for him and I'm curious about his life after BEAST. I'd like to see more of it ❤️ (don't even get me started on the fanarts of BEAST Atsushi meeting lit. anyone in the Canon world).
2. Verlaine
: This bad boy can fit so much trauma inside him. What makes humans human? What makes him worthy of human dignity when he's just a bunch of codes? Honestly his thoughts and existential crisis is tragic. The fact that he wanted to raise chuuya in the countryside too 😭 and how he helped Chuuya save the world because deep down he knew one person who he thought deserved to live. How he hasn't moved on from said person. How he trains PM assasins to become weapons for the Port Mafia even though he's gone through the same thing. How he (both metaphorically and physically) isn't in the light because he's literally been rotting in a basement for 6 years. No friends. No family. Nothing outside that interests him. With no purpose other than teaching because Rimbaud used to teach too. No one in the mafia can reach him emotionally. He could be like BEAST Dazai tbh. I can see it. Except rimbaud is dead so Verlaine just decided to.. stay in a basement and rot. Someone bring him out of there please 😭😭
(also in another version of BSD I thought of in my head, I gave him a sort of backstory so that increased my personal attachment lol)
And speaking of the guy Verlaine misses...
3. Rimbaud
: This guy... has so much love to give. Idk much about his past but he was a government spy. As I've seen others mention, He may have had to abandon family members for his job. By the time he met Verlaine, he must have been so lonely that he decided to pour all his love into this one partner whom he intended to be with forever. So. Dang. Selfless. Got betrayed by Verlaine. Still went to hell and back for him. Also Verlaine disliked him while he was still alive so there must have been so many moments where he got hurt by Verlaine (like that one birthday gift 😭) but he still kept trying to be a good friend and doing everything to make Verlaine happy. Even when he got amnesia, Verlaine was the one thing he remembered. He didn't even expect Verlaine to apologize!!! Like?? Instead HE was the one who apologized for not understanding Verlaine. He held no grudges whatsoever. My gosh. That's true love right there. He gave Verlaine his all and expected nothing in return. Even when Verlaine betrayed him or didn't appreciate him or was mean to him, he cared sm. Even in his dying moments, his main concern was Verlaine. ouch.
Besides that, he's VERY cool. His ability slays (literally) and his long black hair is just 😫✨
Rimbaud should've picked me instead. I would've treated him much better than Verlaine did 🤭🙄 /j
4: Mori Ogai
OHHHH~ controversial character alert ‼️
Hehe alright. *cracks knuckles*
I initially didn't have much feelings for Mori. I thought he was a pedo and hated him as a villain (cause of how much of a threat he was and what he did to the characters) but I also didn't think about him a lot. And it was hard for me to grasp his character.
Thankfully though, the BSD fandom made me change my mind after a while 🤭
@the-boss-of-the-port-mafia made this amazing compilation of Mori analyses that made me appreciate him more.
also my tumblr bestie @plinko-mori helped me understand him <3
Long story short, tumblr made me realize 2 things:
a. Mori may not actually be a pedo
b. He's more emotional than he lets on
^^ This description was made by Asagiri himself 😶
anyways onto my rambling abt Mori 😭
I like him. I think he's badass. He's giving anti-hero vibes ✨ and he's also tragic in a way because he's doing what he thinks is best for Yokohama and the PM even if he has to be ruthless about it. At heart, he has good intentions. He hates war. He hates needless violence (he disliked the previous bloodthirsty boss; suggested that his death would leave to even more violence during the guild arc; has not once been shown to enjoy committing violence for kicks and giggles; etc). He manipulated Yosano because he thought it was the optimal solution and would result in them winning. He planned Oda's death because again, it was the optimal solution and would result in the mafia winning + less casualties. If there's a conflict, Mori is the guy who will pick the fastest, most convenient solution even if it means getting his hands dirty. He'll always pick the lesser evil with no hesitation.
While characters like Fitzgerald/Dazai/Junichiro would sacrifice the world to save their loved ones, Mori would sacrifice his feelings/loved ones to save the world (not that he's extremely attached to anyone. this guy is very lonely lol. His face when he told Koyou that she could leave the PM and he wouldn't be able to do anything about it shows just how much he's resigned to losing people.)
That being said, it does hurt him when he loses people.
This post by @hina-has-no-life explains very well his regret towards Dazai and Yosano 😭
In BEAST, he didn't have to play the role of the mafia boss hence, he showed his softer sides and treated Atsushi like a son, even admitting that he regrets not being able to help Dazai.
so..yeah. There's something interesting about a villain who forces himself to ignore his emotions for the sake of doing 'the greater good.'
Yes, Mori is manipulative, makes millions from exploiting people via the PM, has done many bad things, will continue to do bad things --but he does have a heart (even if he constantly ignores it lol).
It's also worth mentioning that apparently the management in Yokohama is so bad, the Port Mafia (a literal criminal org) is the one responsible for keeping the crime rate in check (considering bsd Yokohama gets bombed like every month tho, Ig that checks out 😭)
Anywy. Mori. yeah, he's shades of grey (the darker side). Like Dazai, he can act like a silly uncle sometimes. His backstory is so cool with lots of potential.
From military doctor (holy hell. military doctors in history are usually involved in a LOT of shady things) to an underground doctor (uhm. how and why?) to finally, the boss of the Port Mafia.
so interesting. and so much potential.
The quote, "I must be cruel to be kind" suits him quite well.
About the mafia though - I do wonder what he does being filthy rich 🤭 besides the constant ignoring of emotions, I'm sure he must have some greed or ambition in there. That makes him even more nuanced imo.
Ahhhh
and last but not the least:
Mr. Bungou himself
Tumblr media
this man, I-
***if I had to insert every single analysis of this guy that I like, my PC would crash LOL***
I won't elaborate too much since Ikyk hehe 🤭
hmm..
I hated Dazai at first cause I felt he was overrated. While watching the anime, I was annoyed that Dazai seemed to be able to solve everything and that no one could defeat him and that he was presented as this 'untouchable figure' of sorts. I'm like, 'WHY DOES HE KEEP WINNING' as if he's omniscient or something like a deus ex machina 😭
overtime, I grew to like him tho (mostly because of Oda LOL 😂)
BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT BUT
his character is interesting (especially in the LNs. I think he's more nuanced in there than in the anime).
I like how he's clearly hiding his heart from everyone around him. He doesn't open up to anyone. Doesn't reveal his plans unless he deems it necessary. manipulates team mates in certain situations (ex: what he did to aku and atsushi). continues to act like a jerk (messes kunikida's plans for fun; belittles akutagawa, etc.)
He's a manipulative jerk with little empathy for strangers but he's trying to fight for the good side. he's trying to save people. he's trying to be better. (and he is actually being better).
Reminds me a lot like Jouno tbh haha.
he's also a little menace with a dark but goofy side to him.
In the BSD rewrite fic I have in my little head, I like to imagine PM Dazai as somewhat like Mahito from jjk. (In the sense that he's an absolute nightmate, truly the "Demon prodigy" whose "blood is blacker than the mafia" but who also has a very childish feel to him).
Ik it's implied that Dazai did in fact commit atrocities like killing innocent people, killing mafia suboordinates who were subpar, torturing people, etc. but I'd like to see more of that. I'd like to see PM Dazai actually hurting someone the audience cares for and being evil instead of it just being told to us by the narrator/other characters.
Like yes, we got bits of his 'evilness' in SB, Dark Era and BEAST but Ig I just want more of that on focus 🤭
like, don't just tell me 'His blood is blacker than the mafia.'
Make me FEEL chills from reading him; make me think, 'oh this kid is really a devil spawn. I hate him' before moving onto dark era and making me surprised that 'dang. i never thought i could feel bad for this dude.'
idk it's prob just a preference I have. 😅
Same with the PM too. I wish we got to see them doing more of their exploitative work to better understand it when characters describe them as 'the demons of Yokohama' or something along those lines. Cause from season 1-3 (of the anime), they kind of...felt less threatening? Season 4-5 was quite a ride though.
ANYWAY MOVING BACK TO DAZAI
The face of BSD. Mr. Bungou 🤭🤭 I think he's a very cool and interesting character. I want him to cry lol.
I want him to LOSE IT in the main manga before the series ends and see what happens.
RN, he's bottling up a lot and is using different masks. It would be interesting to see him being himself more.
aand that's all hehe 🤭😄
Honourable mentions:
✨Adam ✨
"N" <- interesting because despite being who he is, he apparently genuinely cared for his younger brother, Murase. I just find those kinds of things interesting ig..
******
Also it is with great shame that I confess..
I haven't finished reading Stormbringer yet LOL 🤪🤡🤡
(but I did read some spoilers 😂😭)
so if there are any inaccuracies regarding that, please feel free to correct me <33
******* end ******
RANDOM:
Idk I just wanted to share this cause it's funny and (kind of) related.
But a bsd tiktok account I follow used to be named
Ngh~Chuuya~H-Harder~
(yes the fandom is insane 😂😭)
but recently, they changed it to
Ngh~Beast Atsushi~H-Harder~
and I found that funny for some reason lol.
****
anywy thank you for the ask!!! I hope you liked it hehe 🤭❤️❤️❤️❤️

rewrote the Scrangle version of THE ENTIRE INTRO TO P:LA up until Laventon's pokemon run away!!
and then realized after getting so far that it was REALLY LONG and I'm therefore very unlikely to ever draw the WHOLE thing
I used bits from 2 earlier drafts of both these scenes but they ended up pretty different. Most importantly, THIS is (mostly) canon again
Tumblr media
oh and as usual it's in informal script form bc I always start these hoping they will end up as comics. Enjoy lol
________________________________
Arceus: Welcome to my realm.
Arceus: I am called Arceus.
Arceus: What is thy name?
[pause...]
Arceus: Scrangle...
Arceus: Thine power...
Arceus: It is more vast and destructive than even Giratina.
Arceus: Yet, it serves no purpose.
Arceus: That power threatened to obliterate this very universe.
Arceus: I was forced to act hastily, to protect the world which I hold dear.
[pause...]
Arceus: Perhaps I pitied thee, blind and thrashing aimlessly through worlds which thou wouldst never know.
Arceus: ...or perhaps I have selfishly treated thee as a proxy for Giratina…
[pause...]
Arceus: ...What's done is done. The threat is no more.
Arceus: I have taken thine power. But I have given to thee a new form, with which thou can know this world and walk within it.
Arceus: Soon, thou shalt be among humans, and the wonderous creatures they call "Pokemon."
[pause...]
Arceus: Scrangle...
Arceus: Seek out all pokemon, and thou shalt find me once more.
Laventon: Wake up!
Laventon: Ohh...do wake up, won't you?
Laventon: Are you alive, my girl?!
Scrangle: [jolts upright] HYEUH?!
Scrangle: [scrambling backwards on all fours in an almost-Krabby-walk, looking around rapidly] GH--!
Scrangle: [awkwardly, frantically struggles to stand up] [manages to get on her feet, barely] [stumbles forward, grabbing at their own face desperately, sometimes seeming to pull at it] Gaah..!!!
Scrangle: [suddenly they freeze]
Scrangle: [squeezes eyes shut, grabs head hard] AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGHHH....!
Laventon: [flinches, covering ears]
[Scrangle is silently frozen w their eyes shut for a long moment, hunched over]
Scrangle: ........[EYES SNAP OPEN]
Scrangle: [yells at the sky] ARCEUS!!!!!!
Laventon: [jolts, goes wide eyed]
Scrangle: [still to the sky] YOU COWARD!!!
Scrangle: FACE ME IN MY TRUE FORM!!!!!! PUT ME BACK!!!!!!!
Scrangle: [flailing wildly, manages to displace a bit of sand] rrrrRRRGGHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!! [COUGH COUGH] TAKE THAT!!!!!!!! [HUFF, HUFF]
Scrangle: I'LL TEAR APART YOUR PRECIOUS UNIVERSE FROM THE *INSIDE!!!!!!* DO YOU HEAR ME???!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVEN'T STOPPED ME!!!!!!!!!
Scrangle: [huff, huff, huff]
[Laventon looks on in shock and horror. He takes a step to back away, but Cyndaquil makes a cute noise that gets Scrangles attention]
[Scrangle abruptly turns her unsettlingly bright eyes toward him and stares strangely.]
Laventon: Eep!
[She walks up to him. Hes too nervous to move. She looks at him, squints at him, and then abruptly grabs at his cheeks, nose, and hat, all while maintaining a very serious expression]
Laventon: Ack!! What are you doing?!
[Scrangle scrunches her expression, and then pushes on Laventon's face with their palm]
L: Agh!! Please, stop that--! Gah!
[Cyndaquil quick attacks Scrangle's legs, knocking them over]
[Scrangle lays there, completely stunned. cannot fathom what to make of this. Laventon leans over them.]
S: [faintly] ....What......?
L: Oh, dear...I think you frightened Cyndaquil, so it attacked you. Are you all right...?
S: ....
L: ...Miss, I think you must have hit your head quite hard when you fell from the sky. You seem terribly confused. Do you have any aquaintences around to help you...?
[Scrangle blinks up at him, blank-faced]
L: Anywhere you could stay...?
[Scrangle just continues staring]
L: Goodness gracious, this is a proper pickle indeed...perhaps, since it's an emergency, the medical corps would be willing to help...I couldn't possibly abandon a person in such need...!
[While he was fretting, Scrangle sat up and began trying to touch and grab at the pokemon, which had gathered around them. The pokemon keep dodging her hands, eventually making enough noise to get the Professors attention again]
L: Oh my, I'd completely forgotten! I had just caught up to these three runaway pokemon when you tumbled out of the sky...
L: It's almost as if they knew you'd appear here!
L: Ah, but do you even know what a pokemon is...?
[Scrangle gives him and then the pokemon a perplexed look, and then goes back to trying to grab at them]
L: You...you don't? You truly have traveled a long way, haven't you?
L: Pokemon are the mysterious creatures that we live alongside here...these three Pokemon belong to me!
L: Oh, yes, and what might your name be?
[Scrangle looks like she might just stare at him again, but finally answers]
S: Scrangle.
L: My, what an interesting name! I've never heard anything quite like it before.
L: Oh, but I do apologize! I haven't even introduced myself! My name is Laventon. I'm something of a Pokemon Professor!
L: That is to say, I'm a scholar seeking to deepen our understanding of Pokemon.
L: Yes, Pokemon such as these three here, [he gestures to the starters, standing just out of arm's reach of Scrangle's place sitting in the sand] whi--
[the three starters all run away]
L: Oh, blast and bother! My darling Pokemon! Why must you run from me again?!
L: [turns back to Scrangle] I'm terribly sorry, but do you think you're well enough to help me round them up? I beg you!
[He holds out a hand to help Scrangle stand up, but she just stares at it, and then at him. He gets antsy as this drags on, until he finally gives up and turns back toward where the pokemon ran off]
L: [running after the pokemon] Wait, you three! Waiiit!

UNO REVERSE! top five foursquare duos!!
i can't believe you would do this to me >:( i didn't do it to you or anything nope (<- lying)
um um um four square my beloved .... choosing this is so hard
For Kat's post on the same subject: look here for some context on the AU as well as her top 5! The basic premise of the AU is simple: c!dream and j!dream get put In The Box for bonding purposes and receive a small selection of Visitors !! (The Technos, the Sams, and the Quackitys). This goes ... well. I'd say it's fun times for all, but that's not strictly accurate. Very fun for us XD though, and isn't that what really matters?
Anyway, onto the top five (note: I tried to keep from too much overlap w/ Kat's, bc all the duos in this are honestly really really fun):
5. j!Dream + c!Quackity
c!Quackity has been the specter over j!Dream's head for so long - this implacable weight that lingered over his head, that he couldn't put a name to, that resided in the threats the Warden would hiss at him when he got too testy (I could skin you alive, I could cut off your hands, I could nail you to the wall and leave you that way. Don't test me, Dream. This isn't torture. You don't know what that is.)
He's been told, again and again, that he's had it good. That it wasn't that bad, that he doesn't know what torture is, really - what Sam did was nothing. He's just weak. And hell, he's got something to prove, doesn't he? Something to throw in the face of c!Dream's snide remarks, the Sams' hypocrisy. (To prove to himself that he isn't exactly as pathetic as they all think he is.)
And as for c!Quackity - j!Dream is strange, uncomfortable. This one doesn't flinch at him the same way; this one doesn't bear the same marks of his influence, how he built himself into something through blood and sweat and every drop of fear he'd worked for. In a way, his existence is discomfiting because it - takes the singularity of his achievements from him. He's no longer the only one that was willing to go to these lengths, the only one that didn't shy away from getting his hands dirty. This Dream doesn't fear him nearly in the same way as the ghost of the Warden that follows his every step - and of course, c!Quackity aims to do something about that.
4. j!Quackity + j!Sam
My God. These two. Everything about them had already been so delightfully complex in the original AU - with the context of their counterparts and their situation, it only becomes all that much more complicated. They have all the rough memories of the JMAH timeline; they're forced to cooperate to keep the Dreams under control. There is so much tension (in more than one way- [gunshots]) and they're just. So fucking fun as a duo.
j!Quackity thinks that j!Sam is a creep, period, you get no bitches + please die alone in a ditch + L + ratio. Every time they're forced to interact is only reinforcing this idea in his mind. j!Quackity is the least possessive over the Dreams, strictly, and is the most convinced of the idea that he can still get the revive book - not having had nearly as long of an opportunity to try and torture it out of him. His goal is to make the Dreams miserable and get the book and put them six feet under - and honestly, more than that, his goal is to kill j!Sam As Soon As Possible, Please And Thank You.
j!Sam has Regrets over the whole Quackity thing, in both timelines, and even though he's making more of a concerted effort to Work Together than j!Quackity he's also - not got the highest opinion on working together with anyone except for himself when it comes to the Dreams (just me and him and all that). Everything j!Quackity says and does (emphasis on says, good lord) only seems to emphasize this point in his head. Surrendering Dream to Quackity had been bad enough in the first timeline - to do it now? Is a whole different beast entirely - and one that he's going to continue to struggle with, for better or for worse.
3. j!Quackity + c!Quackity
I couldn't resist these two - oh, the girlies the girlies. They are everything to me. Hand in hand against a world of Weird Ass Sam And Dream Bullshit (What the FUCK, am i right ???) They are subjected to the Rituals and they are Not Happy about it. In some ways, they look at each other and see the difference in timelines most keenly - j!Sam and c!Sam share memories, j!Dream and c!Dream have the commonality of a year of Hell, and the Quackitys - some things are very similar. Some things are very, very different. In some ways, it makes them treat each other more like good friends or drinking buddies than the Sams, who are more inclined to see each other as extensions of themselves.
Where the Sams see each other and use each others' existence to reinforce their ideas of themselves as paragons of Justice and Law, and the Dreams can't quite stomach looking at each other without seeing all the ways their Issues reflect on each other and shine a spotlight on their newly gained liabilities, the Quackitys have a slightly more well-rounded perception of each other. They embolden each other and enable each other because of their shared humanity, find common ground in crude jokes and laughing jibes and time to gossip, in the filth and grime of holding someone down to cut into them and the ensuing intimacy it demands, the heat of skin against skin. They look at each other and there's not really anything to hide, is there? In some ways, this is frightening. In others - it's almost a relief.
(Also, the ways that the Sams are more comfortable with each other when the Dreams are around, while the Quackitys come out of their shells with each other when they're alone? Fun. Fun.)
2. j!Sam + j!Dream
These two. These two. There's no one quite like them - the heady mix of fear and relief and possessiveness that can make the entire rest of the world fade away, sometimes - the two-sided knowing that really isn't matched by any other duo. It had been just them, only them, for nearly a year. No other interference. No other visitors. Nothing. Just me and him.
Neither of them quite know how to function with a witness, never mind several - and no one around quite knows either of them like the two of them know each other. There had been no Quackity to play off of, no Techno to keep Dream company - no one had been present, except for them, in the aftermath of where their timelines had diverged so greatly. Even now, even with so much revealed, there's still so much that resides in mystery. That the others don't know.
It's hard not to look at the two of them and- wonder.
j!Dream + c!Dream
To literally no one's surprise, these two take first place. They're the two that started it all, the two that are featured throughout, the two that it all circles back to, in the end. It's about the ways they hate each other - for not being strong enough, for being able to fight back when the other couldn't. It's about the ways they scream at each other and hit each other where it hurts and what does it matter, really, if they're quoting Sam or Quackity or whoever as they're doing so - what does it matter, as long as it gets their counterpart to fucking shut up?
But it's also about how the Sams arrive and they immediately come up with a plan, bracing against the potions slamming down on their backs and chained against the wall and biting back screams of pain. It's about how they fought, half-delirious from exhaustion and barely able to stand and facing impossible odds. It's about how they keep watch for each other when they manage to get a few moments of sleep. How in the end, even though they hate each other, even though they can't look at their counterpart without seeing the hell they endured and the hell they're not sure they can survive (and the hell they'll have to live through, anyway, because what other option is there?) and at least they have each other.
They fight together; they surrender together. c!Dream snaps at j!Dream to drink the fucking milk, holy shit, it's not fucking drugged (I was watching, I know, I know) and j!Dream forces c!Dream to eat a gapple before their next visitors (heal, eat, I only have you.) It's not quite care, it's nothing like love. There's so much fear and trauma they have to work past before they can imagine confronting what the other lived through (what they themselves lived through).
But they have each other.
(In the end, they're not facing it all alone.)

Copycat snippet
Tumblr media
Series: Just A Taste / Copycat (prologue) Player: unnamed Words: 2101 Warnings: vampire threat, slight dub/con (bc yknow, she realises he’s a vamp and is scared but her pussy is like LETS GO).
Next chapter picks up where this left off, and it does include blood feeding and sexy times.
Click Just A Taste (Copycat - prologue) to read this in full. Unsure if will be coming here. Series has themes of submissive vampire.
-
The concept of vampires wasn’t something new. They were no longer a scary story that children were told and very few dressed up as one for costume parties or Halloween for fear of being drained for mocking. There was no sparkling in the sunlight, no bursting into flames and no flurries of bats when they appeared or disappeared. The reality of vampires wiped out lore in a heartbeat.
Heatwaves and temperatures over 20c were no-gos. There were no longer long afternoons in the parks with BBQs or in beer gardens, concerts were difficult especially in crowded places when everyone is naturally getting warmer in confined places, you’re offering yourself on a silver platter to them. Some braved it, mostly those who refused to believe and though a few made it out alive but lacking a pint or two of blood, most were not so lucky.
Sunlight wasn’t a death sentence to them, but more so to you. Heat seemingly triggers something in a certain type, sending them into a feeding frenzy. They would either drink until sated, maybe a little more, in our terms it would be feeling tipsy on alcohol. But vampires couldn’t stop not until they’d fallen blackout “drunk” and left little more than remains of their victims and it was these types which you didn’t want to cross - day or night.
With no vampires willing to give themselves up to be a science experiment, preferring to be the one creating pin cushions than be one, it made things harder to understand. There were no tests they could do to deny entry into certain establishments, but the thought of trying to refuse a vampire entry somewhere filled you with both amusement and fear.
Tonight was a risk and you knew that. With work arranging a fancy dress, you’ve decided, foolishly or bravely, to take a chance and wear a stunning dress designed from the 1700s. With ruffled sleeves, a tight waist corset and a large flowing skirt with plunging neckline, you turned heads. A medium sized thick cross lays just above but placed between your breasts. Cased in silver and adorned with fake rubies and emeralds, the cross makes a statement for the religious time period.
It gave you a feeling of sexiness, almost a sense of regality. You hold yourself differently, and every so often, you’ll catch your tongue or your lips on the false fangs and it gives you a slight rush of power; even though these clip off at the end of the night and you’re back to normal within five minutes. But the confidence that you felt showing them off with each smile and fake hiss became more potent with each recoil that you received in response.
You’ve drank, eaten your way through three courses of excellent food and danced until you’d been forced to take off your shoes and continue bare foot; even if it meant you had to ignore whatever the sticky substances were on the floor. You’re dancing with faeries, sexy nurses, undead doctors, Marvel characters, DC villains, women in masquerade and slutty versions of Disney and storybook women. Some have brought their partners or friends as their plus one, and though you can tell who the majority of the people are, there are a few who make you wonder who they are.
One of which, you’ve noticed has been staring at you several times throughout the evening but you’ve simply put it down to the provocative choice of costume. Had anyone else been wearing it, you’d probably be doing the same too. It’s certainly raised a few eyebrows and become a talking point for sure.
But it’s not until you’re at the bar that you hear in an unfamiliar voice, “I have to ask, with you dressed like that, are you hoping to get bitten?”

The Boys s3 finale spoilers below
Tumblr media
So I finished the finale, and I have a lot I thoughts I will express here. Read if you will, or dont, whichever.
So first of all I was surprised to see that soldier boy didnt team up with homelander like I, and everyone else on the internet thought he would. I honestly didnt expect him, the homicidal trauma riddled piece of shit soldier boy to realized how fucked up and sad homelander actually is. Like I expect sb to be proud of homelander, to be like yeah that's my boy, you're doing fucking great. Now idk if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Like is that just hypocrisy on sb part because in many aspects they're the same? Or is that sb realizing that vought created a monster riddled with attention seeking and narcism who got sbs worst traits and some more? I have no clue, but I was definitely cheering him on when he told him he wished he had been there to raise him better. Would he have? No idea, he probably wouldve been exactly like sb with less inclement to murder everyone at will. But i was just happy sb wanted to fuck him up.
But then he got his ass handed to him by everyone like he was the bigger threat. Like yes, he would've blown up the entire building with everyone still in it, but the fuck were they expecting him to do to begin with? They acted like he was a bigger threat than homelander, which like maybe in the long run, but then? They should've let him fuck up homelander, but then again, the writers need homelander to be invincible for the next season, so they said hey you soldier boy, I know we talked you up big name for an entire season, but you're too much a threat so were gonna take you out instead. But not kill you, in case we want to end the show and only you can kill homelander now that maeve is gone. So were gonna keep you in storage keeping for now, also everyone likes you so, we might keep you around.
But I find it kind of ironic that the second the feds found him they put him back under, no hesitation, like he was this big threat. When they let homelander do whatever and kill as many people as he wanted for years. Like do yall not see homelander has been out of control for years??? Where's your energy with him? At least sb doesnt laser people's head up out of entertainment. But hey, again, we need homelander to be untouchable. So hey sb killed a a few dozen people on accident? Were gonna lynch him bc hes a threat, but when homelander lasers and kills people out in the street were gonna cheer him on. Fuck yeah.
The ending really did piss me off. Fucking Ryan tho. Like I bet you my left ovary hes gonna try to be a mini homelander, homicidal and psychotic tendencies and all. Like the way he smiled after homelander lasered that dudes head off? Fuck, SB was right to want to torch him too.
Lets take a second to honor noir, he deserved to least throw punches with soldier boy. I didnt want either to die, but it wouldve been cathartic to see him fuck sb up a bit. BUT NO, the writers once again said, fuck any character who can be a threat to homelander, and fuck any character you've remotely liked this season. He dead. And maeve? Oh yeah no she gone too. Tho at least she didnt die, and also she went out in a badass way. Fucking tackling the shit out of sb mid radioactive blast? Shes a fucking queen for that. Tho I'm happy shes finally happy with her girl and away from homelander, if anyone deserved it was her.
Speaking of queens, definitely happy Starlight is one of the boys now. It's what she should've done since s2.
Overall, pretty interesting ending for sure. Like I expected so many things for this finale and it was all the complete opposite. It definitely sets up for a fourth season which I'm obviously excited for. I'm really hoping Jensen comes back for a fourth season now that we saw Benny Boy is alive and well, sort of. Honestly he quickly became one of my favorite characters, they gave him some pretty solid background (the real one, the one hes told, not the bs we were told seasons prior) like he has solid potential to be a great character (great character writing wise, hes still shitty and awful, but hey, bad guys can be fun sometimes). And I'm glad all of our faves are alive and well. Except noir, rip my beloved homicidal maniac. And fuck you homelander and your devil spawn.
That's all thank you for coming to my ted talk.

Big Triple Threat HC Post
Putting under a read me bc ooooohhhhhh boi y'all...
My duo (Reaps and Gabi) is still written from my POV of 2016 before all the lore stuff for him/them dropped. Like, from 2020 on, I haven’t added anything new to them. Sure HC wise but nothing including the new lore. Like, I’ve added Martina as Gabi’s ex-wife, sure…but I haven’t changed my old 2016 backstory for them up to fix that. Hell, I don’t even care about it and kinda wanna trash it altogether. My bois are mostly HC based anyways.
And a new idea came to my mind while searching through the reaper tag on tumblr. Came across a post that talked about the errors within OW’s lore and Gabi’s lore itself as well…blizzard doesn’t know him. Is he a villain bc of racial motives forcing him to be or is it just lore getting retconned bc they’ve moved away from what it was before bc of how OW2 has turned out so they gotta change shit to fix it? Like, the post was saying “why would Gabriel kill Antonio/the leader of Talon just to then join Talon???” bc what Talon stands for goes against the motives that were revealed to us and later reinforced in reaper’s “Code of Vengence” story. Yet it still doesn’t explain why he’d join that organization entirely.
Which got me thinking of what was revealed to us in that story as well as certain interactions we got in OW2 for Reaper.
Martina and their son.
Who mentions them?
Widowmaker and Sombra.
Sombra: Wanna know what Martina's been up to? Reaper: Not interested. Sombra: Hmm, that's not what my tracker says.
She knows.
Widowmaker: Are you ever tempted to contact your wife? Reaper: No. Widowmaker: Afraid she would try to kill you? Reaper: I'd be surprised if she didn't.
They both know of her. While we know little to nothing about her besides the fact she’d try to kill Reaper on sight or otherwise upon seeing Gabriel again.
How would those two have known about her? Sombra can hack and get that knowledge sure - I don’t think she’d personally share it tho…use it more for blackmail than sharing with the team…but Widowmaker? Perhaps Martina was part of Overwatch during Widow’s time before becoming blue/purple lady of murder? How likely do we wish to believe that though?
What if…the only reason Gabriel joined Talon was because of blackmail. Threats to his (ex)wife and son. Particularly from Moira, Max or Doom - more likely Moira but less in a “I’m openly threatening you” and more of a “this is a subtle threat that you know I’ll follow through on” and the “you” is Gabriel. What if that’s the reason Gabi and Reaps are separated? A deal made between Gabi and Moira for Reaps to remain with Moira to do with as she pleases so that Gabi could return to Martina or at least be promised she and their son would be safe? I always HC’d that Gabi and Reaps hated each other (Gabi hated Reaps bc of the shit he did as him and Reaps never had a solid reason for hating Gabi tbh…I couldn’t think of a reason…until now).
However, if Gabi made this deal he and Moira (along with Widow and likely also Sombra) know that Martina likely wouldn’t want him back. Whether because of what he did being revealed to the world from Blackwatch and she being disgusted at that, it being revealed he was the terrorist named Reaper but now he’s “better” or whatever. With that knowledge, Gabi doesn’t return to her. Not in a way that he would’ve preferred. He keeps an eye on her and their son, from a distance. He’s a better father dead than a father that’s been alive the whole time and couldn’t be there for his family for sometime. Least, that’s what he tells himself.
Meanwhile, with Reaps…his hatred boils. His own host betrayed him and left him at the mercy of the red headed devils talons….which held no mercy. He’s further experimented on, his abilities enhance and get better…for worse tortures. Reaps could handle what Moira did to him so long as Gabi was there. It was a shared burden. Now it’s his burden. His alone. Alone. He was alone. While Reaps did know those he worked with, he didn’t know them. He knew their names, their faces, the way they smelt…but did not know them. That was Gabi’s job, to know others. Now he’s thrown to the wolves with no backbone to stand with.
It’s worse for those within Talon as well. The Reaper certainly wasn’t always a friendly person…nearly never was in all honesty. However…when the separation happened and things furthered with Reaps….there was a hollowness about The Reaper. There was obvious hatred within him but also an emptiness. Something was taken from him - no, it. That wasn’t a man anymore. That was Death walking amongst men. Were they blessed or cursed for that? Only time would tell.
That Death was a ticking time bomb, waiting to explode. One interaction away from going off and killing everyone it deemed it. Perhaps not even an interaction but a day….a time….a smell….a feeling? Who knows really.
A curse disguised as a blessing it must be then.
---------------------------
Funnily enough, I always had Gabi sort of reluctant to interact with anyone post the separation because "I did shit I'm not proud of….they have no right to forgive me for what I did and I don't expect them to. I was still there, still present to a degree even if I couldn't stop it from happening." and that's why he was closed off or otherwise terrified to see Ana, Rein, Jack, Cassidy, Genji, etc etc again bc "you dont need to forgive me and i dont expect you to but i am not that person (anymore)". He's so riddled with cPTSD and nightmares that he uses coffee or other caffeinated sources to stay up, losing a lot of sleep to the point of passing out which worsens his nightmares….which starts the process all over again. He's so fucking traumatized by what he did as The Reaper that he can't go back to normal life. Moira knew this. She isn't worried about him ever coming after her for what she's done to him or Reaps. He cannot function in the world anymore. At least he won't be able to for a long ass time and with the right help.
---------------------------
This is why I like the HC that Reaps needing souls isn't about souls. It's about a soul. Gabriel's soul. Reaps needs him to survive, the others are just a source of torture Moira can use against him. A way to keep Reaps "in line" by taking or giving souls as she sees fit.
That's why I like Wraith being the thing that ties the two together in the Triple Threat verse. They're trying to keep the peace but also trying to get the two not to kill each other (more so keeping Reaps from killing Gabi). Reaps bonds with Wraith well enough. Reluctantly at first ofc as "oh its just another me that was abandoned, huh? how many more is he gonna separate from himself until he's satisfied?" and Wraith knows this. While Wraith is typically portrayed like a child - new to the world and everything….it's more so a way to distract Reaps from his murderous thoughts to - hopefully - teach Wraith how to be like him. At least, how to use the nanites better than like "i want them as a complete carbon copy of myself".
Another angsty thought while we're on this topic: Moira having someone keep tabs on Gabi just in case Reaps does anything, they can just swoop in, grab Gabi and he is at Moira's mercy - which she has none of.
So, Gabi got out to protect Martina and their son but now Reaps technically (albeit not to his knowledge) has the choice to protect or condemn Gabi based on his actions.
While Reaps does hate Gabi for the choice he made, Reaps wouldn't want Gabi dead or tortured because of the choices he - Reaps - made. They need each other even if neither wishes to admit to it.
---------------------------
Because Gabi was the first to have been essentially bonded/host for Reaps…he would have that bond as there are still nanites within Gabi as most of his body isn’t…well, there. So, those nightmares he has? Are a combination of events of the past and current going ons. Reaps holds so much hatred towards Gabi abandoning him that it flares that connection up and sends all these dreadful emotions, thoughts and memories to Gabi. As Moira’s torture/experiments continue…the anger shifts towards her as she’s starving Reaps of souls to the point he’ll kill anyone who steps into his cell…which he’s done to Moira’s assistants several times now. Those memories - murders - are nightmares Gabi has. He’s never seen those assistants before yet he knows it’s real. Nothing that graphic could be faked….and the feelings and memories that came with it…
Essentially, after the separation for some time, Gabi has horrible as fuck nightmares bc Reaps is projecting that shit to Gabi without knowing then it calms down when Reaps’ anger switches over to Moira but when Reaps kills and consumes a soul, those moments, and feelings and memories are transmitted to Gabi as nightmares.
---------------------------
Intimate/Relationship HCs
Reaps:
While Reaps isn't the most intimate person, if at all. If he does form a close bond with someone and he trusts them...they're more likely to see underneath the mask than others. Moira is the only one that knows what he looks like without the mask but she's not a trusted person to him. His appearance has changed since the last time she saw him, though.
He'll allow only those trusted to 1. touch his mask 2. take the mask off & 3. touch his face
Hand-holding will never happen. Don't ask. He won't do it and he won't ask for it.
If he's concerned for someone he's reluctant to give any kind of physical reassurance because of his claws. Now because he's afraid he can't be gentle because he can be and he knows he can be. It's the knowledge that those hands have murdered and he's now using them to touch someone he cares for or otherwise is concerned about to some degree.
If he ever has to use his nanites to heal his partner, he's reluctant to do so. He's used them to kill, never to heal - save for himself. Reaps isn't entirely sure how his nanites will react to others in a nonviolent manner.
Reaps' way of showing he cares is....likely not ideal for most. It's silent or little things. Things you might not even think are ways he'd show it or even ways people show they care. He's not a big PDA or gifts type of being. It's the little things. How his partner prefers the AC or heater set to and always makes sure it's set to that, always setting their alarm if they forget to do so, making sure they get their medication if they take any, etc etc.
He'll notice the smallest of changes in his partner's behavior and adjust accordingly. He'd likely have these memorized before it even got to the partnership level as being close typically means guards are lessened between one another, yes?
While Reaps holds an air of intimidation and murder....if you touch his partner with the intent to harm or maim....you'll get it back tenfold. Don't flirt with his partner either. Do not touch that which Death has taken as his own. Reaps possessive asf and also super jealous.
He doesn't like sharing - yes, he doesn't like sharing in the Triple Threat verse too. Only shows he cares/his affections towards the person in that verse when Gabi and Wraith aren't around. Sometimes when Wraith is around...never when Gabi is around. Reaps can't show Gabi his soft side, not after what he did. Literally just Reaps holding a grudge bc he's a petty bitch lol
Gabi:
Physical contact is a must. It's mostly as a reassurance that his partner is there. They're there and they haven't left him. They're real. They're real and physical.
While he's typically the big spoon, sometimes he needs to be the little spoon. Typically when the nightmares happen is when he'll roll away from his partner. He does so to distance himself but also to not harm them in case he fights back in his sleep - which is on the rarer side.
Gabi still cares for his ex-wife, Martina, and while she may not be keen on wanting him around...he still visits her...well, more so he keeps an eye on her from afar. It's paranoia on his part. He needs to see for himself that she's still safe and alive along with their son. So, if his partner cannot stand him needing to know that for his own sanity...the relationship will not work. Moira isn't known to keep promises exactly so he fears for Martina and their son's safety.
It'll take a lot of work to even become close to Gabi, let alone become his partner. With the cPTSD, nightmares, and who knows what else he has going on...it'll be a lot of patience and understanding from them. However, once that happens, they're likely stuck with him now lol. You made it past his walls and his flaws, you ain't leaving now lol
Gabi will show he cares in many forms. If he's had a particularly rough time with nightmares lately then he'd be more materialistic with his love. Gifts with little notes to show his appreciation. However, if they haven't affected him as much lately, then he's more verbal with it. "Thank you, Cariño.", "I love and appreciate you, Cariño", etc etc.

F for the little alphabet ask thing bc it’s important to acknowledge our successes and strengths !!
This made me smile because yes we do!
F: Share a snippet from one of your favorite dialogue scenes you’ve written and explain why you’re proud of it.
The first one to come to mind is from Five Minutes:
“I’m so sorry,” he breathed. “I love you.”
“Then start showing it,” she answered. 
I like it because it's simple but gives a nice punch to end the fic. Dialogue scenes don't always need to be long or overly explained to hit what you need them to. Sometimes the less words, the more of an impact. It's more likely to resemble real life, too. Most people don't monologue for a long time especially during an argument. Conversations like the one those two were having can be snippy and short to get the point across. It's four words but, to me, it shows the readers exactly where this characters headspace is at and what she expects out of her boyfriend who is having a pity party and blocking her out. I love that she doesn't say "I love you" back to him. She needs him to start showing his love better or else she'll leave. Simple and easy.
A less angsty one that I like is from the "finale" of the Car Crash fic:
Her breath caught in her throat, her eyes intently studying him, “You’re Peter, aren’t you? My Peter. I think I know you. I think you might belong to me.”
His smile broke through the tears and he quickly cleared his throat, “Yeah. I belong to you.”
Just cause it's cute as hell. I like the idea of a girl waking up from a coma after a traumatic brain injury, having to regain her memory, looking at Peter and having the vaguest memory that he's someone who belongs to her. I read a bunch of articles about Post Traumatic Amnesia after a brain injury. So much silly research for the shortest little blurb but I wanted to get it right (and I found it super interesting). A lot of articles said that the person tended to be aggressive and violent, confused and agitated, and have a lot of mean outbursts. I started to go in that direction but then I was reading about how they could also go the opposite way and be really loving, friendly, and docile. Lot of vacant stares and smiles. I read about a man who kept confusing his dreams with reality but he was so sweet to all the nurses that they all loved him and went along with his crazy "dream memories". Since the first two parts were heavier on the angst, I wanted to end it with a little levity.
An honorable mention is from is Gray Hairs and Massages:
“I thought fighting crime was hard,” he mumbled into the bunched up blankets under his face. “Preschool is worse than any bad guy I’ve ever come across.”
and
He groaned and hid his face back into the blankets, “I don’t think I could even handle one. These children are crazed. They’re taking over. They know I’m weak. They can smell my blood in the water and they’re circling into attack mode. They’re going to eat me alive. One day someone will check in on me and my half devoured body will be staring lifeless up at the ceiling while the children have gone completely feral as they feast on my flesh for snacktime. It’s Lord of the Flies in there. My head has been pounding all evening.”
I wrote this after one of my daycare days where I worked by myself and I never related so hard to something in my life. I also really like Peter and this lady's entire dynamic. It's light and silly and soft. I don't usually write much fluff so that fic was cute and fun. If I could live inside any of my own fics, it would be this one. No high stakes, no violence or angst or threat of death...just snuggling in bed and picking at Peter's grey hairs after a long day.

Later - OC comic and blurb
long post. summary of events.
art from different times, a draft i've held onto for a couple months. been hesitant to post bc its not the highest effort and its unrefined and lacks context. but im here to give a bit of that too, i suppose..
superhero universe, centered around juliet mostly, but also koda. blood, death, guns ahead (tagged)
many months into the collective story. the team consists of juliet, koda, bo, oz, shiloh, callisto, valetudo, cat, and jinni.
valetudo was raised and forced into being a weapon for his villain mother, (referred to as "villainess") who is a very big threat. callisto basically protects him from her after val and his mother are separated by the older members of the team.
the group seeks her out for a while, the villainess causes a lot of trouble, death, huge arsonist, they want to protect valetudo from her. things are tense, they get the chance to attack her sort of ~headquarters~ of henchman etc. heres a bit from when they prepare
for context, a big point of contention in juliet and koda's relationship is mutual safety. juliet had been acting erratic leading up to this event, and in the span of their relationship, juliet had gifted safety gear for koda's fit, and taken plenty of hits for koda. juliet kills, maims, and uses weapons. koda doesn't kill, and he doesn't use weapons. it's just not something he's prepared to do, personally.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
.
.
.
the group moves on to ambush the HQ, splitting into duo's and doing the whole fighting thing. as juliet predicted, they have guns. the less powerful members of their group (cat, koda, callisto) stay farther behind and find cover. juliet presses the hardest, mowing down these men without prejudice.
Tumblr media
juliet's distracted by koda, he sees koda get shot, and turns to find who did it. he's completely unsure of whether or not koda is injured, if its fatal or not, etc. his distraction results in juliet getting shot, tooooo <3
.
.
.
Tumblr media
😳
.
.
.
koda is fine, bruised at worst. valetudo & a newcomer take care of the rest, meanwhile koda goes to check on juliet. he's not moving, theres blood around him, chaos around them. koda is distressed & panicking )':
juliet is a healer and koda's seen him heal from a lot of crazy stuff. he regrows limbs, cuts heal in moments, but juliet's mortality is a mystery.
koda sees it for himself
Tumblr media
.
.
.
.
.
i had intended to draw a bit of this eventually, but i'll keep it vague in this post. (hence the choice of words "newcomer")
the newcomer takes koda somewhere else that's safe, while koda is basically freaking out bc his boyfriend appears to be dead. pretty concerning, i think! koda is a total mess, been clinging to his dead boyfriend's body, adamantly carrying juliet by himself.
after maybe 20ish minutes since juliet was shot down, he's up all at once and throwing up blood. scares the shit out of koda lol
i wish i could put this under another read more
Tumblr media
having ur head blasted open kinda sucks. hes a spigot of blood! he's dazed, but healing and alive. imagine the relief 🤪
they find out juliet can't die. the hard way, unfortunately.
koda & juliet are isolated with the new person for some time, while the others finish the job. valetudo ends up killing his villain mother, and everyone else is alive. shiloh gets a little scraped up, but besides juliet, thats the worst of it (:
other drama ensues blah blah juliet's dramatic past and so on
