Antivenin {Kai, Cole, Zane, Jay}

A/N: FIRST FIC SINCE FOREVER LETS GOOOOO of course its ninjago because you guys know im INSANE!! you thought i would get less obsessed with them WRONG im even more obsessed and i am going to be throwing ninjago fics at yall bc i love them. anyways enjoy!

Summary: When the Venomari venom doesn't seem to be wearing off, the other ninja decide to mess with Kai.

Word Count: 1.9k (under the cut!)

“I swear, if this doesn’t wear off soon…” Nya grumbled, swatting away Kai’s hands as he tried to touch her hair.

“Nya, you have a giant frog on your head. Don’t. Move.” Kai went to stand up with his hands raised and toppled backward. He laid there for a few moments before sitting up. “The frog disappeared!”

Cole and Jay snickered while they watched Kai. Zane smiled while he watched as well, trying to hide it with his napkin.

“There was never a frog, Kai!” Nya said, exasperated.

Kai’s eyes narrowed, then widened as if he saw something. “It’s on your back!”

Nya sighed heavily and stood, picking up the leftover dinner dishes. “Okay, I can’t handle him anymore. Lloyd, help me clean up.”

“Why do I have to?” Lloyd whined. Nya shot him a quick glare and he was up, picking up the rest of the dishes.

“Has he had any water since he got spit on?” Cole asked. Zane shook his head, and Cole stood and walked into the kitchen to get Kai a glass of water. 

“Jay, your ears are so big!” Kai gasped. He dropped his voice to a loud whisper. “Can you even hear me if I whisper?”

Jay chuckled and leaned next to Zane. “Should I wiggle my ears and really mess with him?”

“No,” Zane said quickly, which Jay responded to with a pout.

“Sit up, tiger,” Cole said when he came back over with some water, holding it up for Kai.

Kai stared at Cole. He finally started to drink the water, but he stared at Cole, unblinking. Cole stared back, trying not to laugh as Kai finally blinked.

“Your eyes are so pretty…” Kai murmured. Cole couldn’t hold back his laugh this time, but it was quickly interrupted by a gasp when Kai tried to poke Cole’s eye.

“Okay, bedtime,” Cole announced, waving Zane and Jay over to help him haul Kai to bed. 

Kai protested, shaking his head and whining. “Nooo…” Cole stepped behind Kai and reached under his arms to hoist him up, making Kai screech. “GAHAaa!”

Cole quickly let go of Kai, who immediately curled up, giggling. “Too tickly! No tickles!”

Cole looked over to Jay and Zane, who were staring back with wide, slightly mischievous eyes. Jay crouched in front of Kai and wiggled his fingers in front of him, making Kai squeal, cover his face, and curl up on the ground again. 

“Stop tickling mehehehe!” Kai wailed, kicking his feet while everyone stared at him, not even touching him.

Zane shrugged. “We don’t currently know the extent of the Venomari venom, but it is very possible that it has made Kai even more sensitive to touch.”

They all paused, looking down at Kai, who was still giggling.

“Would it be mean…” Jay started, trailing off as he looked up at Cole and Zane, who were clearly sharing the same thought.

“I don’t think it would be mean,” Cole said with a grin, looking to Zane for the final confirmation.

Zane smiled. “I actually think we should. It would help us better understand the Serpentine’s abilities.”

Jay hardly even waited for Zane to finish his sentence before he poked Kai’s tummy, making him fold in half and squeal. “NAHaha! Don’t!”

Cole sat down behind Kai’s head and Zane sat down by his side. Zane experimentally pinched Kai’s hip, making him jolt in the opposite direction as he giggled profusely. When he finally opened his eyes, Jay wiggled his fingers again, making Kai laugh and back up into Cole’s lap.

“Cohohole! Help!”

Cole only smirked and put his hands by Kai’s ribs, making him squirm. He held in his giggles poorly, biting his lips while his cheeks puffed. Cole slowly began to wiggle his fingers, and Kai practically exploded.

Jay pinched around Kai’s tummy and Zane squeezed his hips gently. Kai shook with laughter and squirmed, but he otherwise made no moves to get away. They all assumed this was because of the venom, which could make it hard for Kai to move as much.

“OhohoHOHO NOOO!! Guhuhuys, plehehease! It tickles! NohohoHO!”

Kai weakly swatted at Cole’s hands, which Cole took advantage of to sneak his hands under Kai’s arms. He squealed and arched his back, clamping his arms down and slumping out of Cole’s lap.

Zane kneaded Kai’s thighs while Jay started to work on his hips. Kai whined, rocking back and forth as he cackled. He shrieked and squealed, his laughter bouncing off the walls as he was tickled and teased by his fellow ninja.

“Plehehehease–! It tickles so bahahad! NAHaha– Not thehehehere!” Kai wiggled and kicked when Zane crept up on his knees. He squeezed them lightly, and combined with Jay tickling his hips and Cole tickling his ribs, Kai couldn’t do anything but laugh.

He laughed himself into silent hysterics, with only the occasional hiccup, gasp or squeal to be heard. Cole eventually relented, with Zane and Jay following soon after. Kai laid there flat, wheezing and giggling softly with bright red cheeks. He finally caught his breath, looking up at Cole, then at Zane and Jay.

“Why’d you guys stop?” He snickered weakly.

Cole, Zane, and Jay all stared at Kai with a flabbergasted look. Kai shifted, then his eyes widened again. “Zane, why do you have Garmadon arms…?”

He reached for one of Zane’s supposed arms, but was only grabbing at air. Zane moved his arm up so Kai could grab it, and he gasped. “Whoa…”

He stared at Zane, then moved Zane’s hand toward his belly. He looked up expectantly, as if waiting for the ninja to respond.

“Is he just… tripping balls… or does he really like it?” Jay whispered to Cole and Zane.

“I looove it,” Kai drawled, stretching his arms up and holding them there.

“He’s gotta be tripping balls,” Cole concurred, but Zane shook his head.

“Venomari venom can be a powerful hallucinogenic, enhancing what people see and feel. It could currently be enhancing some of Kai’s deeper feelings, which would be why he’s…” Zane gestured to Kai, who was trying to play with Cole’s hands. “Like that.”

Jay smirked. “Where do you want us to tickle you, then?”

Kai hummed and shrugged. Jay held his hands up and wiggled his fingers, making Kai curl up and giggle again, but he didn’t try to squirm away.

“Let’s see then…” Jay chuckled, hovering his hands above Kai’s torso. He slowly wiggled his fingers and hovered above different spots, gauging Kai’s reaction. He got especially squirmy and giggly when Jay was near his hips. “Bingo!”

Jay grabbed Kai’s hips and squeezed, making him squawk and burst into laughter. Cole and Zane exchanged a look, then grinned and joined in. Cole swapped spots with Zane, scribbling his fingers on Kai’s tummy while Zane dug into his underarms.

Kai wriggled and laughed, hiccuping slightly while he was tickled. Whenever he leaned away from one sensation, he wound up getting tickled more where he leaned towards.

“Stahahap! It tickles – Nahahahaha! Plehehehease, no mohohohore!!” Kai hollered as he squirmed.

Jay laughed. “You want us to stop? You just asked us to tickle you!”

“But it tihihickles!!” Kai squealed as he covered his face with his hands.

“More tickles? Yes or no?” Cole asked as he lightly rubbed his thumbs into the dip of Kai’s hips, making him screech.

“Yehehes!” Kai managed to squeak before losing himself to giggles.

Cole, Zane, and Jay exchanged a quick, mischievous glance, then continued to tickle Kai out of his wits. His laugh finally went silent again, his cheeks dusted red and tears forming in the corners of his eyes. 

“Okay, my hands are getting tired now,” Jay whined. Zane and Cole chuckled and the tickling ceased. Kai wheezed and giggled on the floor, looking up at them with a smile so wide his dimples showed.

“Time to go to bed,” Cole announced, helping Kai up.

Kai’s smile didn’t fade as he looked at his fellow ninja. “I love you guys so much.”

“We love you too, Kai,” Zane chuckled, patting Kai’s back and taking his other arm over his shoulder to help Cole bring Kai to the bedroom.

“No, I really love you guys. You’re the best… I love you guys thiiiis much,” Kai started to use his hands to demonstrate and nearly fell over before Zane and Cole caught him again.

Jay laughed. “He’s cheesing so hard! Which one of you do you love the most?”

Kai blinked. “Thiiiiiiiis much.”

“Jay, stop it,” Cole said, catching Kai as he tried to use his hands again. Jay only laughed in response as he followed them to the bedroom. Kai was tucked in, almost immediately falling asleep.

The next morning, Kai was the last one up. The Venomari venom had finally worn off, and now he had a raging headache. With a grumble, he got up and walked to the dock of the Bounty, where Cole, Zane, and Jay were already training.

“There he is! Morning, sleepyhead,” Cole called, pausing his training to wave. Kai pinched his brow and huffed.

“My head hurts… My stomach is really sore too, like I did a really intense core workout. What happened last night? I remember dinner…” Kai complained as he walked up to them. They all grinned, making Kai confused. “Guys?”

“The headache is likely a result of the venom, which thankfully wore off. As for last night…” Zane trailed off into a chuckle. Kai furrowed his brows.

“I bet his stomach hurts from laughing so much,” Jay cooed, poking Kai’s belly as he flinched backward.

“Knock it off, Jay,” Kai grumbled.

Jay snickered. “That’s not the attitude you had last night!”

Cole, Zane, and Jay chuckled. Kai raised an eyebrow. “Okay, seriously, what happened?”

Cole leaned his elbow on Kai’s shoulder. “Well, you were quite sensitive from the venom, which made you extra ticklish.”

Kai’s eyes widened. “Oh no… You guys, listen–”

“And extra talkative!” Jay piped in, grinning widely.

Kai looked confused, so Zane decided to add on. “You asked us to keep tickling you. Both verbally and…” Zane tried to fix the smile on his face, but it only got bigger. “By grabbing our hands and trying to make us tickle you.”

Kai’s face went pink and he sputtered. “That was probably the venom! I don’t even remember that, it was probably just making me talk crazy!”

“It’s okay if you like being tickled, Kai!” Jay chirped, making Kai bury his face in his hands and whine.

“I don’t– It was the– Ugh…” Kai mumbled, trying to deny it before giving up.

“Why didn’t you want to tell us?” Cole asked with a hum.

Kai shifted. “It’s embarrassing…”

They all looked at Kai with confused faces. Zane crossed his arms. “I don’t see why it’s embarrassing. If anything, it’s better if you like it.”

“Yeah, it makes it more fun for us. And for you, obviously,” Cole added with a smile.

Kai pulled his hands away from his face, his cheeks still a bright shade of red. “You guys really don’t think it’s embarrassing?”

They all shook their heads. Kai smiled sheepishly and gestured to the training equipment. “Okay, then. Should we get to training?”

“I guess so. But first…”

Cole pinched Kai’s hip, making him jump and squeak. His eyes widened and he shook his head, already giggling as he waved his hands in front of him. “Nonono–!” He could hardly do anything before the ninja pounced on him, bringing back out the shrieking laughter from the night before.

Other Emperors AU — Ninjago

So. The beloved Ice Emperor. The corrupting potential of the Staff of Forbidden Spinjitzu + Amnesia + Vex.

Now what if the Ice Emperor came in other flavours?

That’s right, introducing the Other Emperors AU, a collection of different “What ifs” for if other people had been zapped with the staff by Aspheera!

Different Versions:

Earth Emperor / King of the Underworld = Cole

Lightning Emperor / Thunder God / Lightning Striker = Jay

Fire Emperor / Western Wildfire / Fire Maker = Kai

Energy Emperor / Lord of Energy / Luh-Lord = Lloyd

Water Empress / Commander of the Sea / Wrath of the Waves = Nya

Empress of Technology / Automated Empress / Overseer / The Technodrome = Pixal

Creation Emperor / Second Spinjitzu Master / The Creator = Wu

Not all of them are fleshed out (honestly most just have… one or two minor ideas, but I’ll gladly bounce ideas back and forth with people in Reblogs, comments, and/or asks!), but here’s what I’ve got—

Earth Emperor / King of the Underworld

- Got zapped into the Neverrealm instead and lost his memories from a concussion in the fight

- Vex finds him and the staff and convinces him to take it

- He raises/sinks the Earth to create a stone dome over the realm and make it a cavern of tunnels; some call him the King of the Underworld (Hades vibes) for it and he hates it even if he can’t remember why (haha forgotten Skulkin memories)

- Master of the Mountain mixed with ancient mythology vibes

- His hair grows out and becomes partially lava because come on that look just is so cool on him ; his armour is also formed of obsidian/onyx and crystals

- Difficult to anger (a very patient emperor that listens to his people whenever Vex doesn’t interfere) but if you do (usually on Vex’s manipulation) OH BOY you’re in for it now

- Built a dangerous labyrinth King-Minos-style complete with a stone minotaur in the centre that he sends prisoners/people Vex tricks him into thinking are enemies

- Is very fascinated by Kai’s fire (and Jay’s lightning) because the only light source in the caverns are glowing crystals formed from his powers or special regulated flint/coal-based fires

- He keeps Kai with him when the Ninja arrive and banish the rest to the labyrinth to “prove themselves” on Vex’s manipulation (possibly specifically dropping Jay in the minotaur room as a sacrifice because Jay made a menace of himself in the throne room)

- The Ninja make it through the traps because they’re all kinda Cole-themed (like one involves the Triple Tiger Sashay) and arrive back at the throne room after defeating the stone minotaur, much to Cole/Vex’s astonishment/ire respectively

- Cole realizes the Ninja are telling the truth and that Vex has been lying to him and ends up dropping the staff after reverting the Neverrealm back to its original state

Lightning Emperor / Thunder God / Lightning Strike

- Realizes Zane’s vision (yeah, Jay is the only person who knew Zane had a vision and he DISMISSED IT, hecking come on) is about to come true and shoves Zane out of the way of Aspheera’s shot

- Cracked his head on a rock falling through the portal and has zero memories <3 Should he be dead? Probably. But he’s Jay, so he survives, especially with his boosted element lashing out

-  Vex finds him and is so confused over the lightning appearance but realizes he can use it

- Skybound / Lightning Ruins parallels with Jay ripping up chunks of ground and making floating magnetized islands

- Has a very ominous cult following Vex leads because its Jay, of course it would happen, its not the first time

- Is kinda revered more as a ‘godly figure’ than an emperor (Vex uses his status to make orders in Jay’s name)

- Kinda unhinged, but you can blame the staff + Vex + the concussion and blood loss

- Fascinated by Cole because he absorbs/grounds lightning fine ; also fascinated by Zane who is a walking metal lightning rod

- Constantly zapping around

Fire Emperor / Western Wildfire / Fire Maker

- Lost his powers to Aspheera, battled her with the second staff, and got his butt yeeted to the Never Realm- that’s rough, buddy

- Gets his well-deserved focus season

- He really means well and just wants to keep his people safe, but unfortunately it comes across as overly possessive and tyrannical 

- Older brothers so hard that he comes across as evil/possessive and aggressive when he’s trying to be caring and protective

- Don’t have much for him because the fandom already has insanely cool Fire Emperor AUs

Energy Emperor / Lord of Energy / Luh-Lord 

- So many Lord Garmadon parallels

- ONI-DRAGON LLOYD ONI-DRAGON LLOYD

- Also a surprising amount of Morro parallels about making his own destiny

- So, so traumatized and got corrupted simply for wanting to take his fate into his own hands for once

- Punts Vex out of the castle because he’s had enough of people telling him what to do

- Kinda goes back to S1 Lloyd because this kid just wants his childhood back

- Goes from “scary emperor who’s going to execute you” to “excited little kid” the second he sees his siblings

- Taking the staff back hurts because Lloyd isn’t mad, he’s just super sad and confused and pleads with them not to do it

Water Empress / Commander of the Sea / Wrath of the Waves

- The Never Realm just became the Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

- All the ice and snow melts into an ocean with islands

- Nya builds a big ol’ palace that’s both above and below the water’s surface

- Seabound parallels in terms of architecture (lots of accidental Wojira foreshadowing)

- So. Much. Rage. You anger Nya, you’re done for.

- The staff + her element amplified the ocean’s whispers and she’s kinda merged with the sea but not fully, her memories are a bit scattered

- Was going to take on Vex as an advisor because he convinced her she knew him before her memories got lost/scattered, but then her memories associate him with Krux, and she kicks him onto a lone island

- Her brothers have to face the ocean to get to her. They hate it, but they do it anyway 

Empress of Technology / Automated Empress / Overseer / The Technodrome

- Pixal gets to sacrifice herself for Zane

- While the staff doesn’t amplify powers for her, she still gets boosted strength, speed, smarts, etc., her processor running at 300x proficiency

- Is able to get the mech up and running— she DID build it, after all

- Still loses her memories from Vex’s interference, somewhat reverts to S3 Pixal

- Makes the entire realm “efficient” and rapidly revolutionizes technology

- Easily one of the scariest rulers because of how good she is at it

- Took Vex on as an Advisor because of his knowledge of the realm, then fired him once she was done. 

“But you— you cannot FIRE me! I am your loyal, most trusted advisor—” 

“And you are no longer necessary. There is more important matters to attend to.”

- It’s very difficult to dismantle her empire

Creation Emperor / Second Spinjitzu Master / The Creator

- Aspheera blasts her intended target

- Wu is sent to the Never Realm with the other staff

- The Ninja are devastated because they just lost their Sensei AGAIN just after getting him back

- Wu refuses to use the staff at first but then… well, he starts getting desperate to return. He misses his family. And his essence— creation— could be used to help the people of this realm. So he uses it once or twice, sparingly, to help the villages, to help travellers— and slowly gets more and more addicted. Why does this realm hurt the people in it? If his essence is one of creation, couldn’t he use it to… reform this realm into something more peaceful? More habitable? Remake it in his own image? Correct all the mistakes he’s made, start again, start better—

- FSM and Pilots-S2 Garmadon parallels

- His students manage to get into the Never Realm only to find it “prosperous” and “thriving”

- Bonus if there are copies of them, but the way Wu sees them— uncanny valley alert

- EXTRA bonus if there’s a fake Morro that’s based on how he was as a student / if he’d lived , and a fake Garmadon cured of venom and evil

- Breaking their Sensei out of this illusion of a perfect world really hurts

- Wu is traumatized by all his mistakes and they get acknowledged in this AU whether he wants them to be or not <3

[greypetrel]

By the Dread Wolf’s ugly wig!

When you want to go check on your Lethallan, but your funds allows you to buy just the cheapest wig from Flying Tiger.

Explanation: @karmicblackhole and I took a personality test over Dragon Age Characters. Her result was Cole, but we both agreed that she’s definitely a Solas. So the idea of a Solas dressed as Cole came out. 

And since my result was Varric... Here we go. (unedited because life’s too short. It’s not smutty because my Lavellan didn’t romance Solas and I know yet too little about hers to write some smutty, Seeker-conquering, solavellan thing.) Not so long after Corypheus was defeated.

********

Solas had not planned to get back. By all means, he should NOT get back. Not even close, not even for a minute. Stay the heck away from Skyhold or anything that vaguely smells of Inquisition, track Lavellan’s movement, go in the opposite direction.

Except, his plans were more behind than he thought, with the Orb destroyed and the cheery elf still wielding the Anchor, and the Korcari Witch having somehow access to Eluvians and a pair of eyes that were too keen for his likings. And the Inquisitor having befriended said perceptive Korcari witch because OF COURSE she had.

But one night like any other, when he woke up in a makeshift camp in the middle of some ruined Guesthouse he remembered in full glory and now laid barren and crumpled in the middle of the Exalted Planes, he realised he felt lonely, and decided that a little curiosity couldn’t harm no one, with dued precautions.

His plans could wait some weeks more for this quick -very quick!- detour, he thought while buying an old wig from a rundown merchant in a village he didn’t know the name of. It wasn’t that much of a wig, the quality extremely poor and he was sure the material would have caught on fire if he had but stared at it long enough. But it was the right colour, so it would have had to do.

Skyhold was more or less how he left it. Still buzzing with activity, if the atmosphere was more relaxed and laid back. It was lucky: he could slip inside the hold using an old passageway that hasn’t been found by the Inquisition - very dusty, very full of spiderwebs, he cursed when the wig got into one and undid all the work he had done to make it… Well, it was not presentable, he would have defined it barely acceptable, but still. It had not loose cobwebs sticking to the fringe and keeping it stubbornly upward.

Cole must have felt his irritation, since he was waiting for him in the cellar the passage ended up in. The spirit boy freed the door -from the outside a normal wall- from the craters and barrels that had been stored against it, and smiled at him. Happy to see him. Cole took his hat from his head -his hair were silky and smooth, he noticed with a grimace- and silently placed it over his own head.

---

Wig and hat in place, the right clothes he had to mimick -adding a fake amulet on the heart as well- he stood in the courtyard, observing activities and life in the keep going on without him. He kept in a corner, knowing that Cole would have done the same, and hoping that the distance could help him blend in and being mistaken for the spirit. Even if he was taller and lither than Cole, and the stupid fringe of the wig didn’t want to sit down on his forehead, and his head itched. Life bustled, quieted and smoothed down after the threat of Corypheus stopped being a dooming cloud, but lively as ever. Cassandra coming early to start practicing with the hay dummies, the Iron Bull exiting the Tavern to go assist the soldiers in the training ring, followed suit by Krem. Dorian watching left and right, out of the door of said Tavern, the smallest frown on his forehead indicating he was nervous, before going out and making a quick way to the Great Hall, chest puffed up.

And then, there she was. Hopping down the stairs gingerly, humming a folk song, and grinning knowingly from one ear to the other at the Tevinter mage, which she caught midway on the stairs. He couldn’t hear, but judging from body language and the fact that she left giggling with a hand over her mouth, he could swear it was a jest. She seemed fine, he noticed, her left hand gloved and covered, he couldn’t assess how much the Anchor had worsened yet. By all means he should have left when she entered the Tavern.

He was there, she looked fine and happy - happy happy, not that smile strained at the corners which she donned when she was upset but didn’t want to show it. She wouldn’t put her weight on the marked hand when accommodating with Sera… On the roof? Well, she wouldn’t have put her weight on her hand if it hurt, and kept on eating cookies with the other elf, chatting and laughing and swinging their legs above the courtyard.

She was fine, he could go.

Except, he was still there when the Inquisitor ended her roof breakfast and got out of the Herald’s Rest.

Those “ten more minutes” were his undoing.

Aisling stopped briefly, just out of the door, pointing her hands on her hips and looking around, most likely trying to assess where she was needed first that morning. And then she noticed him.

He schooled himself at best as he could. Lowered his gaze and waved lightly at her in his best Cole impression, hunching his shoulders down. She squinted, bending her head on the side and trying to look closer.

Please don’t come here. Please someone remind her of better things to do.

“Solas!” a feminine voice he knew chided. She sounded elated and… Reliefed?

“Mythal’s tits, you’re back! Where have you been?!” Looking down, he could see her feet on the ground right in front of his, a second before she jumped at him in a tight hug. He staggered back, not hugging her.

“I’m Cole.” He replied.

“Yes, I can see it… Cole.” She giggled, trying and failing to keep serious. She squeezed his shoulders, before letting him go and taking a step back.

“Happy. Elated. Ehr- Relief in seeing an old friend. Everything is fine?” He tried his best in imitating the spirit, wildly guessing and raising the pitch of his voice for good measure.

“Everything is fine, yes. But Cole, if you start asking what you already know, your friends will start to worry about you, you know?” She looked less happy and a little melancholic, looking at him in the eyes.

He didn’t reply.

“Look, Cole, I know I already told you but… I’m free for lunch, if you felt to - you know.” She shrugged. “Stick around with me. You can tell me about whom did you help, and I can help you with your sociality.”

He didn’t know whether to feel embarrassed or regretful that she was smoothly playing along with his farce without a hint of judgement, respecting his space. He wanted to tell her for the tenth time that he wasn’t a skittish horse, she couldn’t befriend him like one, just staying constantly in sight on the limit of his comfort zone with a casket of apples, waiting for him to approach. He wouldn’t approach.

“Or, we can do something about your hair, did you help a family of spiders?” She giggled, trying herself to smooth the incriminated fringe down -and failing- and patting his shoulder before stepping further back and starting to walk away.

She spared him another glance and another smile.

“Well, see you around, if you want I’d be happy to. We all would. You don’t need to be alone all the time, you know.”

She waved and left.

He hated to admit that her horse-girl method worked.

now introducing…

Ninjago Miraculous AU

So a lot of the Ninjago lore will still happen, but this au is kind of set in the movie universe (as in, the ninja go to high school and Lloyd didn’t age up with the travelers tea).

Wu is the holder of the miraculous box, because the first spinjitsu master was the one who created it in order to contain all of the powers of the miraculouses (miraculi??). The FSM trusted his sons with the powers of creation and destruction (Wu with creation, Garmadon with destruction) and everything was fine for a while. However, the Overlord managed to steal the butterfly miraculous and akumatize Garmadon. In order to keep the Overlord from getting a hold of the power of creation as well, Wu hid the miraculous box, including the miraculous of creation. Garmadon was able to break free of the Overlord’s grasp for a while, enough time to meet Misako and start a family, but soon fell victim to the akuma again. Garmadon vanished for several years, and Misako supposedly went after him. Neither were around to raise Lloyd, who this AU focuses on.

Lloyd is 16, a sophomore at Ninjago High. He grew up in a boarding school before an old man suddenly appeared and whisked him away to Ninjago City at age 11 to live with him, his biological uncle. It has been years since his father vanished, but Wu tells him that it’s only a matter of time before he shows up again. At the time that this AU starts, Wu gives Lloyd the ladybug miraculous, telling him that he will have to defeat the Overlord and his father in order to bring peace to Ninjago. More and more akumatized people start showing up, so the Overlord must be waiting to send out Garmadon until he’s sure that nothing else will work.

Wu tells Lloyd that he can enlist the help of others who he trusts with a miraculous. Of course, Lloyd immediately turns to his best friend Kai, an 18 year old who is almost a brother to him. Lloyd gives Kai the miraculous of the tiger, one that holds the power of exaltation.

After Kai, Lloyd gives the miraculous of the ox to Cole, who is the same age as Kai. Kai and Cole are very close, and both of them watch over Lloyd.

Lloyd then gives the miraculous of the turtle to Zane, another 18 year old (possibly, Lloyd and the others think something’s odd about him…possibly a robot? haha jk…unless??)

Then, Lloyd gives the miraculous of the monkey to Jay, who is also the same age as the Zane, Cole, and Kai.

Now all of the people in his friend group have a miraculous…

Except Nya, who is actually a lot smarter than the average Ninjago citizen. She immediately realizes that the heroic ladybug superhero is none other than the boy she thinks of as a younger brother. Of course, she knows Kai is the tiger superhero because she walked in on him transforming (he doesn’t know that she knows), and she can’t let her brothers be in danger without being able to help. So, she tracks Lloyd down, follows him to the miraculous box (seriously, how had nobody done this before?) and takes the mouse miraculous. More on this side plot later.

Harumi exists. Lloyd likes her and gives her the miraculous of the bee, she turns out to be evil and wants to help the Overlord. I hate her. (there is no lloyd and harumi relationship and do not tag it either please)

Other characters to expect…

Pixal (I LOVE HER SHE IS MY FAVORITE)

Dareth (I’m so excited for this one. Hint: Dark Owl)

Misako

Skylor (I’m not a huge fan of Kai and Skylor in a relationship so they probably won’t end up together…sorry. But she will still play a pretty big role)

Akita (!!!!baby!!!!)

Morro

Lots of villains as akumatized people

Vania (Same thing as Skylor. But I love her and she is a queen that will probably only be there a couple times but I think a side plot with her would be so cool)

Let me know if you want to hear more about details!! I will post character descriptions later as well as superhero names and outfit designs.

One of Us is Lying, Ep.2x07 - Simon Says Time Out

Well, it turns out I actually do have a character I like in this show.  Kris is, without a doubt, not only the best boyfriend; but I'm glad that there is somebody there finally to just take a moment and tell them all they cannot afford to be acting like children.

But I also like the fact that he took a moment to kind of take Vanessa aside and say that he understands where she’s coming from because he’s also been in the situation where he learned that they did something pretty dark and she has a right to grieve her friend.  At the same time, though, he’s letting her know that she needs to take a step back and think about why they're doing this. At the end of the day, it comes down to the fact that, yeah, as he said the world is not black or white; right or wrong. The fact is, when they went to the cops or they went to their friends and they said that they didn't kill Simon, nobody listened. The parents sort of listened, but the parents also believed it had to be someone from the group. And so that's what led them to that moment of having to steal something from Jake, which led to that fatal confrontation. Now it doesn't mean what they did was right especially, you know, dumping a body and all that. But again, why would they trust the police to listen to them when they haven't been listening all along?

But to go into the story a little bit more. Vanessa, it turns out, was taken; but she was taken by the Murder Club and they were doing it to protect her, which of course she doesn't believe. They end up taking her to this vacation home on an island nearby. Meanwhile, Maeve realizes that something's going on and she asks Kris to take help her find the group, which Maeve does by tracking a text message. Once again, Maeve does not have the equipment to do that, but sure. And what they find is that the Midnight Club are all arguing and nothing is working. So, Kris tells them they all need to stop for the night and sends everyone to bed.

In the morning, Kris decides to create this circle of trust where everybody has to hold this stuff tiger if they want to speak. And it does seem to work for a bit.  Addy is realizes that Vanessa, while she was wrong a lot about a lot of things, was correct in the assumption that maybe this wasn't all about the Murder Club. TJ was an obvious patsy.  However, it was possible that Giselle’s death had something to do with Giselle.  But Simon Says decided, just to make things worse, to make The Murder Club think it was because of them.  And so they asked Vanessa what she knew about Giselle. Vanessa says she didn't actually know anything about her. But then Addy mentions the fake photos that Giselle said she took; that Jake and Giselle were together during the summer. At that point, Vanessa tells them that she found out from Cole that Jake was actually in rehab. At which point everybody tries to grab the tiger because they all want to talk. And boy did Tiger have a horrible death. But they are able to figure out quite a bit of information.  Realizing the Principal had suggested a certain treatment center for both Addy and Janae to go to because of their “issues,” they wondered if she had suggested the same for Jake.  They look up the center and discover that the symbol for the place was on the neckless that Jake gave to Addy and on the neckless found in Giselle’s car.  Of course, this makes them wonder who else the principal might have suggested should go there.  They realize that the strongest possibility is Keely’s ex, Zach.

They all decide to go back to the mainland, Nate, so that he doesn't lose his job, goes back to work. Cooper and Addy try to talk to Keely, but Keely's having none of this because she realizes Cooper's been lying to her. And she tells them that they're going to just have to talk to Zach. Meanwhile, Bronwyn, Janae, and Maeve break into the rehab center because, you know, of course nobody's paying attention. Meanwhile, Vanessa goes to talk to Cole, only to find the detective at the house. The detective tells Vanessa that they found Jake’s car and that they were interested in Vanessa’s story. And it looks like maybe for a moment, Vanessa is deciding whether or not to tell on the Murder Club. But in the end, Vanessa tells the detective that she should look into the rehab center that Jake was at. Which the detective had not heard of before because, you know, the detective is shit at her job. And Cole is really upset that Vanessa has told the detective about it. He says it's a non-issue, but it's clear that detective doesn't think so herself. Probably because they do know that Giselle was in and out of rehab centers. So, the fact that those two could have known each other from there; yeah, that is kind of important.  

Back at the rehab center, the three women find a bunch of pictures on the wall of the different people that have been through the treatment.  If this is such a private place, I don't know if they'd actually have these photos, but Ok. And they find a photo and they find somebody they recognize in it besides Jake and Giselle, but it's not somebody they thought it would be. It turns out it’s Fiona. And they also realize that that probably means that Nate is in trouble. Meanwhile, at the restaurant, Fiona gets a text from somebody telling her that The Murder Club knows.  Fiona tells Nate that she needs his help with a delivery, so Nate is clearly in danger. That's where the episode ends.

Now I'll say this, I did not like the first five episodes of this series. I do think there's a lot of things that had they done sooner might have made this series more palatable for me.  However, I have enjoyed the last two episodes and I am curious to see how this all works out.  I'm curious as to why….well, one other thing I forgot to mention is that Vanessa has been thinking that Maeve was at Jake’s party in a bear costume and that Jake was arguing with her. Well, Jake was definitely arguing with somebody in the bear costume, but it wasn't with Maeve. Maeve was never there.  It seems like Jake got into a fight with somebody that was from the rehab center.

I got to admit, I did not expect Fiona to be part of this, even though they did mention she had been in trouble before. And it does explain why Nate didn’t get in trouble with steeling the money.  You would think that, when TJ said he didn’t work the night the money was stolen, someone would check the schedule or the cameras.  However, Fiona (being the bosses daughter) could have changed the schedule or told her dad she saw TJ.   So, while it’s unexpected; I can already see some of the hints that were in the show.

Green Room, 2015, a fragment

“When you take it all virtual you lose the texture.” So says the Ain’t Rights’ bassplayer, Pat (Anton Yelchin), in relation to a question about his band’s non-existent online presence. He continues, “You gotta be there. The music is for effect. It’s time and aggression. And it’s shared live, and then it’s over. The energy can’t last.” Pat’s statement is of course an ethical one – a commitment to living in the moment. These moments though, when not catalogued virtually or indeed by any other form of analogue or digital media, become the preserve of memory.

Although Green Room is a horror flick with a very simple set up – the members of a punk rock band are forced to fight for their lives after witnessing a murder at a neo-Nazi compound – writer and director, Jeremy Saulnier, is concerned with what it means to “live in the moment,” and to that end he dedicates some time to the cinematographic representation of memory and our experience of it.

 Memory as... ephemeral

This sequence begins just after Pat and Ain’t Rights’ guitarist, Sam (Alia Shawkat), siphon petrol out of a car so as to continue their journey. The first shot of the sequence is of the van’s dashboard. The lens used has a shallow depth of field, and focus shifts between a pair of shoes on the dash and a bauble that is hanging off the rear view mirror. We then cut to a shot of Sam’s – Alia Shawkat’s famously – curly hair. This shot is backlit, so we can’t make out any details about the hair apart from its texture. The source of light is sunlight streaming in from the car’s window as it makes its way down the road. Because of the shallow depth of field, we can’t make out any details of what’s whizzing past outside – it remains a pleasurable green blur. For a brief second the severity of the backlighting gives and Sam’s hair becomes a flash of auburn. The next cut takes us to Pat in a moment of reverie. This shot is a low-angle close-up of the right side of Pat’s head. Because of Pat’s location in the van and because of Anton Yelchin’s top billing, this shot indicates that the previous two shots have been Pat’s POV. The soft focus used in this shot that adds a daydream quality to Pat’s reverie. Pat’s gaze shifts in this shot as if he were looking around, and this seems to justify the final four, significantly shorter, shots in the sequence: the first is of an out of focus steering wheel; the second is of the outside of the van as seen between the gaps in the front seat headrest. This shot is a little less blurry than the one of Sam’s hair, and we can make out trees and a signpost or two. The third is another low angle, close up shot, but this time it is of Ain’t Rights’ singer, Tiger (Callum Turner), as he dozes. Light travels across his face causing some lens flare. The final shot is of a hand – we don’t know whose – opening a window. In this sequence memory is represented by a series of ephemeral and nearly abstract shots. These come to stand for memory that is unstructured and fragmentary, for memory that exists not as a whole but as a series of abstracted moments.

 Memory as... distance

This sequence takes place the night before the band’s fateful gig at the Nazi compound. The first shot is of a campfire surrounded by three pairs of feet. This cuts to a severely unbalanced two-shot: a little to the right of centre is a medium close up shot of Tiger drinking beer, facing screen left; at the very left of the frame is a medium full shot of Pat, laughing. Sight of Pat is soon obscured by another of the band members. We’ll learn later that this figure is Sam. The source of light is the campfire, which lights the shot in chiaroscuro. We then cut to a shot of Ain’t Rights drummer, Reece (Joe Cole), sitting down and telling some sort of anecdote. This is presumably the story that was making Pat laugh. This is also a medium full shot. The city lights behind Reece are out of focus and appear only as a line of occasional bokeh cutting across the horizontal of the frame. This cuts to a full shot of the band, and it is in this moment that the spatial arrangement of the scene becomes clear: the four member of the band are sitting/standing around a fire by a lake. A city can be seen across the water but it is not in focus. This is the longest shot in the sequence, and we can see the members of the band chatting and enjoying themselves. Here memory would also seem to be represented as being fragmentary: the chiaroscuro lighting, for example,

 Memory as... transcendence

This sequence takes place as the band plays in the Nazi compound. In the lead up to the sequence the band play a cover of the Dead Kennedy’s “Nazi Punks Fuck Off.” The choice of song is a deliberate and amusing provocation to the crowd. The sequence properly begins, however, when the band begin their second song, of which the crowd is much more appreciative. This song starts in real time but at a specific moment there is a match cut from Pat jumping with his guitar to a close up of the guitar in slow-motion. From this point on the rest of the sequence is in slow-motion.

 At the moment of the match cut, the music changes from the diegetic sound of the band playing to the non-diegetic score, an ephemeral synth track by the Brooke and Will Blair called “Moshpit.”

There are then a series of shots of the taken from within the moshpit of Nazis dancing, interspersed with a few of the band playing. The key to this sequence is the use of slow-motion. Slow-motion in this sequence serves to stretch out time – there is, in effect, more of the moment in the moment. This is visual representation of those moments which seem to last a lifetime, in which normal time is transcended.

In this latter shot, however, the crowd is out of focus, the part of the foldback amplifier is in sharp focus, you can even see the texture on the moulded plastic.

 Memory as... elision

Rose Quartz - Glacier Oneshot

Summary: Cole show’s Zane his crystal collection

Pairing: Cole x Zane

Takes Place: after season 10

Warnings: fluffy af

Word Count: 1,081

A/N: I like crystals and considering Cole is the master of earth, i think he does too lmao enjoy

Masterlist

Cole excitedly ran into the living room. “Guess what I got!” He cheered, plopping down on the couch next to Zane.

“What did you get?” Zane asked with a smile.

“Did you spend too much money on rocks again?” Kai said, smashing buttons on a game controller. 

“Not rocks, crystals. And yes I did. I got more clear quartz and some tiger's eye!” Cole responded, opening the paper bag he was holding. “That’s the one that grows confidence. I wanted to try meditating with it.” He explained.

“Is there a crystal that can make you shut up?” Jay asked. He and the other ninja bursted into laughter.

“No.” Cole muttered, getting off the couch. “Enjoy your stupid game.” He said, leaving the room.

“Enjoy your stupid rocks!” Jay yelled. 

To say that the ninja’s comments hurt would be an understatement. He would sit with any of his friends and happily listen to them talk about the things they enjoyed, but when he tried to talk about his crystals, they made fun of him. Of course, everyone teases everyone about almost everything, but lately they’ve been getting meaner. He sighed and went to his bedroom. 

As he was putting his new crystals on the shelves he had for them, there was a knock at the door. He turned to see Zane standing in the doorway. “Hey.” He said sadly. 

“Hello Cole. I was wondering if you could tell me about your crystals' metaphysical properties. My data files are incomplete on the subject.” He said, a small smile painted on his face. 

Cole lit up at the request. “… Really?” he asked in disbelief. Zane nodded. “Okay!” He smiled, pulling a chair over for Zane to sit in. 

He walked over and sat in the chair. “You have a lot.” He commented, scanning the shelves. 

“Yeah… Where do you want to start?” Cole asked. “I can just go down the line, or if there's one you’re curious about I can start there.” He said. 

“Let’s go down the line.” Zane decided. Cole smiled and picked up the first crystal on the top shelf. Zane always loved the way Cole smiled. It was always toothy and big. It warmed his circuits to see him happy. 

“Well, this is clear quartz.” Cole started. He handed Zane one crystal and grabbed another for himself. “And this is satin spar. Most sellers call it selenite, because they’re very similar and I guess it sells better. I don’t have actual selenite yet, but I want some. They both enhance the properties of other crystals. I use them a lot.” Cole explained. A slight tint of pink made its way to his cheeks as he watched Zane. 

Zane looked intently at both crystals. The clear quartz was a large point, while the satin spar was a small, flaky rectangle. He held them as his computers recorded the information Cole was giving. Once he was done, he set them back in their spots and Cole continued.

As Cole handed him crystal after crystal, he became happier and happier. He loved talking about his collection, and never got a chance to do it without judgment.  He loved the way Zane was smiling and how he never interrupted to make a mean joke. “This one is my favorite.” He said, picking up a large chunk of a black rock. “It’s black tourmaline. It grounds and protects you, so I use it a lot after big battles.” He rested the piece on his lap and picked up a smaller one. “I only buy it raw because it’s ugly when tumbled.” He laughed, handing Zane the smaller one. 

“Tumbled?” Zane questioned. 

“Yeah. Raw crystals are the ones that look like they came straight out of the earth because, well they did. A tumbled one is like this,” He said, picking up a crystal he already talked about. “It’s shiny and smooth. Points are these,” He said, picking up a tower shaped crystal, “And these are geodes, or clusters.” He said, pointing to another specimen. “There’s also palm stones, that are basically tumbles but in a shape perfect for your hand to hold. I’d show you one, but I keep them by my bed.” He explained with a smile. 

Zane smiled back and Cole felt his whole body heat up. He enjoyed every moment he’d ever spent with Zane. He wasn’t like the other ninja. He loved all his teammates, but something about Zane was different. He never intentionally made fun of anyone, and he always cheered Cole up. And he was attractive. “Hey Zane… thanks for letting me talk about this.” He said quietly. “The others… well you know.” 

“I’m glad you’re enjoying telling me about your collection as much as I’m enjoying learning about it.” Zane nodded. “I’ve been meaning to ask you about it, but we’ve been busy lately.” He added. 

“We have been busy.” Cole commented.

“What’s this one?” Zane asked, picking up a pink crystal. “I really like it.” He flipped it over and scanned it’s surface. He liked the markings inside the crystal, it was like he could see how it formed. 

“Oh… It’s rose quartz. I sometimes keep it in my pocket if I’m having a bad day, or talking to you and stuff.” Cole blushed, suddenly feeling sheepish. 

“Me? Why? What does it do?” Zane asked, confused. 

“It… uh. It calms the mind and brings peace.” Cole stuttered. He moved his gaze to his fingers before continuing. “But it’s most known for… um. Promoting growth in self love and romance.” 

“I don’t understand. Why do you hold it when you’re with me?” He asked. Cole looked up, his face covered in embarrassment. 

“Well, I-- I kind of was--” Cole cleared his throat. “I was hoping that if I worked with the crystal more, it’d better my chances with you.” Cole whispered, nerves growing in his stomach. 

Zane was stunned. He had no idea. He looked down at the crystal. He smiled as he thought of a response. “Are you saying you like me?” he asked. 

“Kind of…?” Cole responded, anxiety in his throat. 

“Well…I can’t say that I haven't thought of you romantically before.” He responded honestly. 

“Really?” Cole questioned. He didn’t exactly believe Zane, but nindroids never lie. 

“Yes. You are quite pleasant to be around.” Zane said with a wink. He scooted closer and took Cole’s hand in his. “I think the crystal is making me want to ask you on a date.” He smiled.

Ninjago LGBTQ+ Headcanons 'cause I'm way in over my head

After taking a break from watching Ninjago for 4-ish years, I'm back and deeper in the ship spiral than I've ever been. I kinda like all Ninja ships (besides the Lloyd ones) so let's just get into it!

Sexualities

Cole is gay

Zane is panromantic and on the ace spectrum

Jay is a bi disaster

Lloyd is pan/biromantic ace

I'm not sure about Kai but he has a preference for guys

Nya is wlw/polysexual

Skylor is bi

Pixal is polysexual/polyromantic and on the ace spectrum

Misc

Cole had a little thing for Zane when they first met

It was short lived, but he and Zane are very close and Zane has a special place in Cole's heart

Kai also had a bit of a crush on Zane in the earlier seasons, and thought his oddness was endearing

Lloyd had a crush on Cole when he was younger, but Cole was oblivious and ofc didn't reciprocate anyway so the feelings eventually faded

Lloyd just thought he was super cool and nice and liked his hair a lot

Jay also had a thing for Cole around S3

That's part of the reason he fought so hard with Cole over Nya, because he was confused and didn't understand why he felt that way about his best friend

Also it kinda sucked to see his two crushes getting so close

But he worked through it on his own, came to terms with his sexuality and his romantic feelings for Cole eventually faded. When he was sure of how he felt, he and Nya made it official

Both Pixal and Zane admire the aesthetic-ness of Jay's curly hair and freckles together

Regretfully, Jay thought teen Wu was good looking

I interpreted Skylor's "Keep in touch" at the end of Season 4 as a casual breakup with Kai 😅 so I headcanon that she and Nya always flirted with each other whenever they saw each other after

Kai totally didn't mind and was too busy being smitten with Cole anyway

Lavashipping (probably my favourite ship so it has its own section!)

They've both had crushes on each other for ages, though Kai's was momentarily diminished when he met Skylor

When they have that party on the Bounty in Season 1 after retrieving all four Fang Blades, Kai grabbed Cole's hands and they just danced together, laughing for the rest of the song.

Jay and Nya noticed and gave each other smirky, knowing looks like 😏

When recounting the rest of the trials they faced on Chen's Island to each other, Cole thought it was cute that Kai couldn't skate and decided he'd take him one day to learn

Plus Cole got them all to lie on the bed in Kai's room partly so he could be near him

He was a little torn over Kai's crush on Skylor but he mostly thought Kai was adorably hopeless

You know how after Cole danced the Triple Tiger Sashay in S1, Kai ran up to him and just hugged him? He didn't know or care if what he felt was platonic or romantic, he was just so proud of Cole and wanted to show him

So Cole knows Kai's comfortable with hugging him and he kind of turns to Kai whenever he's in major need of comfort

After he turned into a ghost, I headcanon that he approached Kai, just leaned into him and let himself be held (as best as he could). Kai, of course, wanted to support him as much as possible and they both love each others' touch, so it was a win-win

That was also when Cole's hands first solidified, which is why he's not surprised when he hugs Nya later and the same thing happens

One of Kai's favourite songs is secretly that Glow Worm song from Season 8 that Cole sang all the time

Cole thinks that under his cocky attitude and hotheaded-ness, Kai has the kindest heart because of how encouraging he always was (particularly in S1-5)

Kai thinks Cole is one of the sweeter people he's ever met, though he loves his tough side

He thinks about what a good father Cole is gonna be when they have their own kids lol

My memory's not the best and I've only seen up to Season 9 so apologies if anything doesn't line up very well with canon! Hope you enjoyed!

Preferred Music- OM! Brothers

Not that anyone asked me, but I was in the mood to write and I’ve gotten back into Obey Me! after a super-long hiatus.. so these are my thoughts on what the brothers listen to in terms of music. I’ve only finished S1, so forgive me if these don’t make sense in context of the later seasons T_T

Lucifer:

It’s established in canon that Lucifer loves listening to classical music and has an extensive record collection- the more cursed the better

I headcanon though that he also likes to listen to big band music, like the Glenn Miller Orchestra

I can imagine him putting one of his vintage Glenn Miller records on his grammy and asking his s/o to dance with him one night if he was feeling especially romantic. The song he’d initiate on would be Twilight Interlude, Moonlight Serenade, or Starlit Hour.

I also headcanon that Lucifer listens to crooners, like Nat King Cole or Frank Sinatra

If MC can play an instrument, especially if it’s the piano, Lucifer might lurk in the hallway for a while if he hears them playing music by composers like Beethoven, Mozart, or Chopin. He doesn’t know how or why, but he thinks their works sound best whenever MC plays them

I think Lucifer’s guilty pleasure is 50′s/60′s decade music, but only listens to them when certain conditions are met: he’s in an exceptionally good mood, his privacy is guaranteed for at least an hour, and it’s just him in his bedroom. He feels that artists like The Beach Boys, Elvis, and The Beatles don’t fit with his polished, high-class image, hence the secrecy around listening to them

You’ll know he trusts you when he allows you into his space while one of these artists’ records is on the gramophone

Doesn’t change MC’s ringtone in his phone, because one: he’s an old man and hardly uses the thing for anything besides communication anyway, and two: he wants to be the only brother who wasn’t prompted by Mammon’s ringtone change

Probably changes their ringtone after a few weeks, when his brothers have forgotten all about it

 Mammon:

The Black Crowes. Next-

It’s canon that Mammon likes R&B music

Mammon strikes me as a classic/90′s alternative rock kind of guy too, though. Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, U2, Deep Purple, The Black Crowes, Pearl Jam- that kind of vibe

If he’s feeling something a little more hard, he’d probably dip into Nirvana, Van Halen, AC/DC, or another band along those lines

“Money” by Pink Floyd is DEFINITELY his ringtone

If he’s trying to really focus to come up with a scheme to make Grimm, or is just in the mood for something really chill, he might pull up a lofi hip hop playlist/station to listen to in the background

If he and MC happen to be chilling in his room, though, he’d probably play whatever they’re into- not because he likes them and wants to learn more about them or anything, noooooo sir, definitely doesn’t want to know their favorite artists so he can maybe take them to a concert one day either

Probably starts listening to MC’s favorite bands and genres too as their relationship develops

I headcanon that as soon as he finds out whatever MC’s favorite song is, he sets it as their ringtone in his phone so he can distinguish them from modeling agencies and his brothers

Leviathan:

It’s canon that Levi LOVES anime music, which like- I 110% subscribe to

I think he’d also really like video game music as well. Especially if it’s a game he loves and their soundtracks are *chef’s kiss*

If the Devildom has an equivalent to K-pop, I could see him being into that too. BTS, EXO, SUPER JUNIOR, Girl’s Generation, and SEVENTEEN all give me Levi vibes

Because he used to play so many different instruments, I also headcanon that sometimes he gets in the mood to listen to some of the music he used to play

He might get started on a classical music kick for a couple hours, then be satisfied for a week or two until the craving comes up again

Like Mammon, he might try listening to MC’s favorite music to get to know them better- but if he’s too averse to it, he’ll just go back to listening to his usual music

As their relationship develops, he might change MC’s ringtone in his phone to the theme of an anime they’ve both watched together and loved, or to the theme of his favorite anime- not to be outdone by Mammon, of course

Satan:

It’s canon that Satan also enjoys classical music, especially symphonies

I headcanon though that Satan might resent this similarity to Lucifer, so listens to classical music in secret- or abstains from it until he cracks and binges for a few hours

I could also see Satan listening to music very loudly in his room to piss Lucifer off if he’s in a particularly vindictive mood, especially if it’s hard rock or metal

Three Days Grace, Shinedown, Breaking Benjamin, Disturbed, The Veer Union, Gojira, Beartooth, Steel Panther- and if he’s really mad at Lu, he’d pull out the stops and listen to some death metal

Lowkey kind of likes some of it, even though he started listening to it exclusively with the intent of making the eldest tear his hair out in frustration

For casual listening, though, I headcanon that he has soft indie playlists and stations that he’s favorited/subscribed to

I could also see him as the type to have a playlist built with all his favorite songs from his favorite Broadway plays (looking at you, Les Misérables and Cats)

When he catches wind that Mammon and Levi changed their ringtones for MC, he didn’t hop on the train to outdo them- he just thought it was a good idea. He changes it to a soft indie song that reminds him of MC in some way, whether the lyrics are explicitly about someone similar to them or the sound of the song gives them MC vibes

Asmodeus:

Asmo listens to healing music in canon

But I also imagine him listening to dance/EDM music, because it gets him pumped up for The Fall and reminds him of the good times he’s had there

I headcanon that Asmo listens to healing music when he’s pampering himself or doing spa sessions with MC, and dance/EDM when he’s getting primped up to go to the club

Asmo is DEFINITELY the type to put soft music on when he’s about to get it on with somebody to set the mood, but it’s not something he listens to on his own- he feels ambivalent about romantic music in general

With MC, though, if their relationship buds into something more than friendship- you can bet your ass that he custom makes the perfect playlist for spicy situations with them, and his opinion on romantic music changes into a more positive one

I also see him listening to Queens like Ariana Grande, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Beyoncé- really powerful women vocalists

Asmo might have an easy listening pop playlist/station subscribed on his app of choice, but probably has to be in the mood for it to put it on

Definitely changes MC’s ringtone to something cheeky at first, like “Sexual Healing”, but trades it for a romantic song that reminds him of them later as they get closer

Beelzebub:

The RAD newspaper reports that Beel likes the song in the “Hell’s Burger” commercial

But I headcanon that when the newspaper club asked him that question, he just didn’t know how to respond because he listens to so many different genres, so he blurted out the first thing on his mind (so of course it would be food-related)

Beel doesn’t strike me as the type to like one genre in particular to the exclusion of most others- he seems more like he’d have playlists of all different genres to switch between depending on the situation and his mood

He’d definitely have a workout playlist full of songs to hype him up, like “Eye of the Tiger”, “Welcome to the Jungle”,  “Seven Nation Army”, “Thunder”, etc.

Probably has upwards of thirty playlists/stations he’s subscribed to because of his broad tastes, but the ones I see him frequently playing are pop, indie, alternative, and punk rock

Because he shares a room with Belphie, he’s grown accustomed to listening to chill, soft piano music at night when the both of them are first falling asleep- so much so, he has a hard time falling asleep without it, so he always brings earphones with him when traveling so he can still listen to it

MC’s ringtone in his phone is the “Hell’s Burger” commercial song- the only other contact that shares the ringtone is Belphie. Hearing his favorite song helps him distinguish his favorite people from everyone else calling his phone, even if hearing the song makes him hungry and drool a little bit before he picks up

Belphegor:

Belphie likes chill piano music in canon

Makes sense to me, since he’s sleeping 99.999999% of the time

But I headcanon that he also likes punk rock, like Fall Out Boy, My Chemical Romance, blink-182, Good Charlotte, All Time Low, Panic! At The Disco, Bring Me The Horizon, and more

He only listens to it if he has to stay awake for a long period of time- listening to piano music makes him sleepy, so that’s out of the question, even though he needs music to be able to focus

Belphie is another brother who will stick around if he hears MC playing the piano- he’s less covert about it than the eldest brother, though

He’ll straight up trudge into the music room, sit on the bench with them and lean his head against their shoulder as they play

Hope you weren’t planning on stopping anytime soon, MC

Belphie also seems like the type to have subscriptions to ASMR or soft storytelling podcasts/stations/playlists, for the times he finds he’s having a hard time falling asleep

Like Lucifer, is one of the last to hop on the ringtone train, and honestly didn’t really give a shit about it until he really thought about it. What if MC was in trouble and tried to call him while he was asleep? His normal ringtone wouldn’t wake him up in that scenario, which could end up being really bad

Changes it to something really loud and obnoxious at first, like “What Is Love” (the animal cover)

Eventually changes it to something more romantic as he and MC get closer in their relationship, like “Check Yes, Juliet”

Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoyed reading them as much as I enjoyed writing them. <3

BTW, this is the ringtone I HC’d for Belphie lmfao: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mx5-aOGphII&t=53s

It’s my morning alarm and my family hates it, but I’m an extremely heavy sleeper sooooooo guess I’ll just keep being a menace to society

The Titans are almost back, bitches. aka 3x06

Guys, literally every time the titans are together-or even paired up-the episode gets ten times better, but in 6 episodes there is simply not enough Kory and Gar. I can easily forget that when I’m basking in the episode they are in, especially when they’re giving us family dynamics.

Kory:

“You’re not mad that I left. You’re mad I came back.” Kory’s face tells us Blackfire is right on the money, and who would know her better than her sister?

So, Kory, oh boy. Our girl is on edge. She is slowly unraveling and is super vulnerable and raw with Kom around and little sister is going to exploit it and her guilt, which I think she’s carrying a lot of. So far their dynamic has been fascinating because there’s so much to read between them and so many accusations being flung back and forth, from both. From Kory; you sense guilt and even contempt and from Kom there’s envy and resentment, but also there’s a sense of idealization for her older sister, too, which of course, with younger siblings, there always is an element of that. And as an older sibling, there is always an unspoken and sometimes spoken responsibility placed on them for their younger siblings. Parents often don’t realize it, but they can create a lot of tension within siblingships by assigning roles.

They remember home and family very differently, which is often the case, too. Kom was often thrown in the pit and to that, Kory attributes her sister’s constant rebellion as the reason, and yet, Kory herself was a bit of a rule breaker, sleeping with her guard, Fiddei.

Kory was being suffocated by the laws and customs of her home planet; one could say she rebelled by going on a mission, to escape her duties. Home did neither of them any favors because while one rebelled because she did not fit in, the one who did fit in was dying inside, surrounded by little robots and becoming one herself. Being told what to eat, wear and who to love or be friends with is yikes.

I was thinking Kom began her game of manipulation in the bunker, but she really started before that when she sent Fiddei to bring Kory home when she probably intended to kill him all along. After all she would’ve castrated him if she’d had the chance to for sleeping with Kory in the first place. Shortly after Fiddei’s death, Kory flamed out. No powers. Emotionally wrung out from the news her family was dead and now the culprit is here. These two know each other very well and know exactly how to get underneath each other’s skin. Right now Kom is getting underneath Kory’s and our girl is losing patience fast. 

I’m wondering when exactly Dick will tune into Kory’s anxiety-ridden state and step in to support.

Ultimately, I just want to see what truly happened to the girls on their planet and how we have the versions we have now. Like, Kory said to Rachel, “No one is born good or bad, we are defined by our choices.” I get the feeling Kory has given Kom so many chances to make a different choice and has become disillusioned, meanwhile Kom believes nothing she does will give her the respect she feels she deserves anyway, so she may as well blow shit up, figuratively and literally. At least then she’ll have Kory’s attention.

Gar: 

Gar losing it on Dick was so cathartic and yet he could’ve gone much further, considering Dick abandoned him last season to go jail and hallucinate Bruce. It ultimately led to Gar (and Conner) being kidnapped and experimented on by Mercy. It’s actually all the adults fault this happened, but as the leader promoting his family everywhere he goes, he needs to keep his eye on the ball. He would know if he spent five minutes at home with them that Gar is struggling. Last season Gar was #OperationSaveTitans and this season he’s #ThisFamilyIsDying. He’s doing what the adults should be doing, or at least leading the charge on it. He’s the glue, but who will hold him together?

He’s carrying too much emotional responsibility and Dick’s dismissal, because he is fully locked into Gotham and being Batman, makes me mad. Get your head in the game, Grayson. Gotham is going to eat your family while you retread the nostalgic steps of your past.

We all know Dick’s not good at expressing himself emotionally, though he’s usually forced to express something when talking to or being confronted by Kory, so I was proud of him for giving Gar the floor to speak. I just wish Gar spoke about himself, but then again, he needs more time and consistent offers to be heard. I’m happy Dick followed up the conversation up with a bonding/training session. There was definitely pride in Dick’s face because Gar really has come a long way in this group, but he needs MORE SCREEN TIME. I’d like to see the two of them out in the field together the way we’ve seen Kory this season with Gar and Conner. 

I wonder if Gar losing control is the start of all his trauma bubbling up to the surface, will being in Gotham, hunting down a friend be too much?

As a side, has the CGI tiger face gotten worse?

Kom (and Conner):

First thing’s first, what music are we thinking Kom listens to? Probably the kind of music she can break your tailbone to, like, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole and Jay Z, or Prince, Jimmy Hendrix, Stevie Nicks and Led Zeppelin? Rihanna?

Kom is absolutely a villain this season and if she isn’t, what a waste that’ll be. A mastermind at mind games (see, her picking up the chess piece), who is going to drum up Kory’s paranoia and anxiety around her being there. Trying to kill her suspicion by guilt tripping her while simultaneously being a do good-er to the group, feigning interest in helping the Titans to earn her way in, a tip from our boy, Conner.

She says she wants acceptance and I believe that’s absolutely true, but she doesn’t know how to get that without using power, so she’ll continue to covet acceptance through and with power because according to Kory, she’s always been a climber. Add to that, being born the cursed child and the only royal member born without the gift of fire, something that differentiates them from the common folk, being too frail to participate in the same games as Kory, having a speech therapist be her only friend while being the object of ridicule and you have a villain origin story nicely set up.

I really enjoyed Conner and Kom’s exchange. The boy lit up when he spoke about seeing his family happy and it made me light up. He’s so genuine and has a big heart and Kom is going to take advantage of it, that’s not to say she won’t develop real feelings for him, but she can like him and still use him.

Conner’s “you have to earn your way into the family,” is perhaps an internal and personal struggle he has from sharing blood with Luthor. I think it may come from an insecure place because he was made a titan as soon as he woke up and no one questioned it, but as he’s only half of superman, he’s constantly trying to prove his usefulness for good, which losing Hank has rocked, leaving him vulnerable to Kom’s recognition for his otherness. Their otherness.

She gave us insight into her mind, but also she has likely seized an opportunity to use the vulnerability against Conner and to her favor by making him her kindred. Outcasts. Will she gain influence over him? He’s still young and learning, and trusting, too.

Her interest in him felt layered, ignoring the ugly customs of sex servants, she was also observing Kory’s relationships and ranking them in her sister’s life. Her being able to determine who may have Kory’s interest (which Kory gave away with her vulnerable display of worry over Dick’s welfare in front of Kom) will surely come into play at some point, right? After all, Kom did kill Kory’s last lover/royal guard. This may be me projecting. LOL.

Romantically, I’m waiting to see how they play it before I decide if I like it or not, but so far, they have a nice chemistry. Friendly.

Dick (and Barbara) :

What a lovable dumb ass. 

I was so happy Kory lost it on him and called him on his lone ranger shit, at least when it’s her, even when he’s being an idiot, he’s still listening. “Let’s go.” and I thought it was hilarious that he tried explaining himself, but when Gar called him out, he got all huffy with, “Excuse me, young man.”

Gar asking Kory not to have words with Barbara over Dick getting shot was so funny because Dick’s face seemed to ask the same when she asked how it happened. We love a protective Kory. I’ll be looking at him when it’s his turn to reciprocate.

I don’t like him dismissing their concerns about his personal safety and how it affects them, it’s like he’s learned nothing after running off alone to battle Trigon, or rather has unlearned his lessons of S2. I’d like to see some more permanent emotional growth from him by this season’s end. In his current state, he’s not an exuding leader. He can’t be when he’s still wrapped up in Bruce and all things Gotham. He’s not tuned into Kory’s anxiety, or Conner’s grief and insecurity, or Gar’s emotional burden. 

He’s started making it up to him, but he has much to do in taking Gar’s concerns and emotional needs seriously.

I’m not even going to try and work out the timeline between Barbara and Dick and Dick and old Titans in San Fran and S1. But it doesn’t bode well that Dick’s dream with Barbara ended in a nightmare. 

I wish they’d never did the whole Dick and Dawn relationship in S2 because they’re basically repeating some of the beats in showing us how they don’t work as a couple, only his relationship with Babs makes a lot more sense even though I don't care. Dick has unfinished business with that relationship, Bruce and Gotham and I can only hope he’s wrapped it up for good by this season’s end. I want to see relaxed, smiling and happy Dick in THE PRESENT. I still Babs will be the one to notice and point out Dick's feelings for Kory.

Barbara (outside of Dick) is being downplayed a little, no? Dismissing Dick’s suspicions about Jason when he arrived, showing no knowledge of Jason’s visits to Crane and then taking the bait and moving Crane after he got a light beat down. A commissioner who was also a very capable vigilante is tricked by a recording and goes to meet “Bruce” on her own. I really enjoyed that she could hold her own and the fight scene was really good, but it was a bit baffling that she fell for that ruse. So far, she’s not entirely good at her job.

Dick’s a distraction in his own right and her feelings clearly get in the way, which is why she keeps asking him to leave the precinct and Gotham; because she’s pining a fantasy and he’s ruining it. Lastly, I really like the way Savannah plays Barbara.

Why’d they do that to Tim?? :(

Overall, it was a better episode and I enjoyed it more than latter episodes, but they’re not quite there yet for me. I’m  still waiting for Team Titans.

[knowledgequeenabc]

you belong to me, my snow white queen, there’s nowhere to run

I’ve been so dead inside I never posted my NNQ fics but, happy belated tenth, Ninjago! the fandom has been wonderful and I’ve made so many friends, seen so much beautiful work, made it through so much because of this silly little plastic ninja show. <3 This fic’s title comes from “Snow White Queen” by Evanescence (yeah I know don’t @ me), if you wanna. set the mood for this one. We’re gonna be following Nya after Skybound for a bit and it won’t be pretty.

Nya remembers it all.

It never happened, of course. That was the condition of Jay’s last wish: that none of it had ever happened in the first place. 

Yet she remembers.

It’s good that she does, honestly. She’ll recognize the threat if it ever presents itself again. Plus, the others don’t remember, so they can’t worry themselves about it.

Jay wanted to tell them. “No more secrets,” he said. She’s proud of him, she really is, at least he’s learned from dragging them through hell and back …

But she can’t do it.

She remembers Jay’s eyes, glinting bright and worried in a dim room, as he asks if she’s sure about this; Nya remembers her voice hardening to keep vulnerability from bleeding through as she nods. She’s well aware it’s unwise to keep a secret this heavy, thank you, but they’re both heart-wrenchingly familiar with secrets. What’s one more?

Getting angry at Jay for keeping secrets and then turning around and asking to keep this one … it’s hypocritical. She sees the recognition of the fact in his eyes, but there’s understanding mixed with it; it’s his secret, too. It’s their burden to shoulder behind closed doors, afraid to face their family. After losing Zane and getting him back, after Chen and Garmadon, after Morro, peace feels fraught, like walking a tightrope over another storm. How would the others react to knowing they’d broken again? She doesn’t want to deal with the answer to that question.

So Nya does what she does best. She squares her shoulders and marches through each day, reminding herself with each skip of her heart, each flash of her life before her eyes, each time the world blurs that it’s over now. It spits in the face of every lesson life’s beaten into her bones, reverting to stubbornness and pride and the kind of independence that would rather see her amputate an injured limb than get help for it, but it’s a twisted kind of easier to wrestle her pain in silence. The sky pirates made it clear that she needs to stop being afraid to rely on her team, and with a distant sense of guilt it occurs to her that applies to her emotions about this situation, too, but ...

But that fight’s over. And Nya honestly wants nothing more than to take the lesson to heart and put the rest behind her. Let sleeping dogs lie, and all.

Slight problem with that plan: she’s beginning to get the feeling they don’t want to stay asleep. Nya’s good at compartmentalizing, and has been ever since she was an orphan child balancing school and keeping the forge afloat, but the neat dividers are starting to give.

All she can do is watch as the cracks spider out like the Tiger Widow’s web.

~~~~

Lloyd sits on the edge of the ship’s deck at night, sometimes.

Who knows what he’s thinking. Nya knows her little brother would rather sort through his feelings behind curtains, and they’re all working on helping him open up, but sometimes there’s nothing to do but be there with someone while they watch the world turn.

Tonight, thoughts zipping through her head with manic intensity and no distraction to stop them, she joins him, letting her legs hang over the edge of the Bounty. He acknowledges her with a smile and inches closer, then turns back to face the clouds, eyes searching the scene like there’s a cosmic answer somewhere in the moonlight poking through the blanket of grey. The sky roils in dark, angry sheets, air thick enough to slice with a knife. Nya remembers another storm out at churning sea, splinters from a shipwreck, a missing friend and her bubbling fury in the aftermath, and shudders.

Lloyd doesn’t speak, but he’s gripping a photo of his father with white knuckles and a pinched face. And she understands.

Never once has Lloyd gotten to choose his path. His only crime was wanting Garmadon in his life, and the gift he received in return for it was becoming fated to finish his father off, once, then twice. It’s a painful game, to be destiny’s plaything.

Self-centered as it is, Nya wants to think she gets it. Rarely does she get to choose, either. Being folded into the fate of Ninjago via kidnapping from blacksmith shop had been exciting until she was relegated to damsel in distress and left on the wayside. Then when she’d forged her own path as Samurai X, she had to give it up and be the water ninja instead. Water ninja. Kai’s sister. Jay’s love interest. The girl. Nadakhan’s prize.

Never a thought for what Nya wants to be. Just roles and labels to live up to whether she likes it or not, forced upon her like a wedding dress sewn for someone else.

And the one choice she could make ended up …

Her chest tightens until she’s dizzy.

Once the world sharpens back into focus, Nya casts Lloyd a sympathetic glance and quietly traces the feathery outlines of the clouds with her eyes. It’s a good night for commiserating, and she’s not feeling talkative, either.

She wonders what she is now, and her throat tightens.

~~~~

Nya catches, out of the corner of her eye, the breathless headline on the tabloid lining the rack at the grocery store—“DEVASTATING FACTS ABOUT THE GIRL NINJA!!” —and bites back the urge to scream herself hoarse.

The public eye is an unforgiving one, she knows that, she’s long since resigned herself to it. But sometimes it grates, the way everyone seems to presume they can weigh in on Nya.

The people out there don’t know anything about her.  All they care about is that she’s the girl, and there’s drama behind her they can gobble up like starved mutts.

She doesn’t let on about it much, because being imperfect is kind of one of her worst nightmares, but she knows she’s made mistakes in the past. She was prideful, even haughty. She strung Jay and Cole along for way too long because the attention got to her head, and the paparazzi will never let her forget it. Nya should have been the bigger person and cut it short, instead of letting Cole keep going with it because he was mad Jay didn’t trust him, or letting Jay’s jealousy fester as long as it did. Bit late for that, though.

It’s hardly like her faults stop there. Being hunted by Nadakhan and upset by Jay’s refusal to understand her “no” meant no, on top of the fact that her independence would only ever be conditional sinking in from becoming the water ninja … it was a perfect storm of stress, and it made her nasty. Jay keeping secrets and endangering them all was the last straw. She blew up, lashed out, furious that she couldn’t trust anything to go right.

She still regrets it. The bruises on his skin after his rescue are still imprinted on her eyelids when she wakes up, sometimes.

So she’s not perfect, by a long shot. But …

(Greedy eyes following her every movement, wanting her as she runs. Blinking to find another family member gone. Fighting for her life as the pirates capture her. Being wrestled into someone else’s gown. Pushing desperately against Dilara’s spirit snatching away her autonomy. Venom seeping into her gown, frigid then BURNING, the ability to think slipping—)

Nya loosens the death grip she has on her basket. Takes a deep breath in, then out.

They don’t know anything about her. Tabloids and TV hosts and publicists can gossip all they want about Nya’s mistakes; they’ll never convince her she deserved to die for them.

~~~~

Kai is many things, and stupid is definitely one of them, sometimes. But he isn’t stupid when it comes to how Nya’s doing, and she knows this. If anything, she’s the idiot for thinking she could keep herself under wraps from him for long. Kai must have noticed the tough veneer she’s painted over herself, and how secretive she’s being with them, because Kai knows she doesn’t like to be open about feeling unwell, and Nya knows that it worries him.

Ironically enough, that worry is why she knows she can’t ever tell Kai what happened. Ever since she revealed herself as Samurai X, he’d learned not to hover, and Nya’s endlessly grateful that he’s understanding enough to trust in her strength. Nowadays, Kai’s concern manifests in significant glances, questioning hands on her shoulder, hugs a little tighter and lingering longer than normal, discreetly asking if there’s anything she wants to tell him.

He’s taken to all that behavior in hyperdrive, of course, because there is no way Nya’s snippiness and constant tension and nights in the kitchen making tea after nightmares slipped his notice.

But that’s fine. Nya would rather deal with the quiet apprehension radiating off him now than the full-blown panic she’s bound to have on her hands if Kai ever found out that she’d lost her life and he’d been helpless to do anything but watch.

She has an idea what it’ll look like, too. He’d taken Lloyd’s possession hard enough—Nya had caught him pummeling punching bags in the training room until his knuckles bled, noticed the heaviness in his eyes when he looked at their little brother, or at Cole, and no matter how much she insisted that he hadn’t failed, Kai refused to let himself believe it. Uttering a word about the Sky Pirates to her older brother, Kai who had practically raised them both, Kai who had only ever become a ninja to save her, Kai who had blamed himself so ruthlessly for Zane and Lloyd and Cole?

It would break him.

She just can’t do that to him. She’ll stitch her lips shut if that’s what it takes to make sure he never finds out.

So when Kai fixes them both mugs of chamomile tea at 2 in the morning, and casually remarks on the strange amount of repairs she’s been doing on the perfectly intact Bounty, Nya just smiles tiredly at him and fires off some sarcastic retort that’s sure to rile him up.

She loves her older brother, which is why she made the decision to take this secret to her grave.

~~~~

Nya notices while brushing her hair, one day, that she’s neglected to pay attention to it; the sleek black strands are almost to her shoulder, rather than brushing against her chin like she’s used to. Once she’s teased out every last snarl, she goes to cut her hair, but hesitates right before the scissors snip.

When she looks in the mirror, sometimes it’s Dilara’s face flashing before her eyes, not her own. She has to look for the minutiae, the details that count, like the flinty sharpness in her own eyes, the scar near her chin, the odd mark forming on her cheek, obsessively contrasting them to wide, sweet eyes on a deceptively cherubic face.

Nya wishes—no, not wishes, look where wishing had gotten them all—that Nadakhan had cared to see the differences. Maybe that way, she wouldn’t have felt the eyes on her back, always following her, waiting for her to fall into his grasp. Maybe she could have avoided the desperate game of cat-and-mouse. And just maybe, she wouldn’t have been grappled into a suffocating gown, or had her agency ripped from her as Dilara took her face, or died—

Right, that had happened. How Cole and Zane go about their days knowing they’ve walked through the doors of death, she can't begin to fathom. Nya wonders when she’ll stop feeling like she has to hide in her own home from eyes that are no longer watching, wonders when she’ll stop feeling the white-hot burn of venom leaching into her blood, and it’s Dilara’s face that brought it upon her.

Nya sets the scissors down, and tries not to flinch at the way they klink against the counter. She doesn’t want Dilara’s face anymore.

Maybe she’ll let it grow out.

~~~~~

It wasn’t even that rough of a touch, Nya despairs later. Cole, even in spars, always knew his strength, and he barely glanced her sternum with a ghostly hand as she knocked him off balance.

Apparently, on a bad day, that chilly touch was enough to send the phantom shock of Tiger Widow venom racing through her system; Nya forgot how to breathe for a second, and the next she broke her stance and pushed. Already off-kilter, Cole stumbled, his back hitting the ground with a heavy thud. In the instant before the others could be alarmed, they locked eyes, concerned meeting terrified. She forced her voice to stay even as she said, “I think that’s enough training for today.” Then she ran.

Now, here she is, her door slammed shut and locked, and her back’s pressed against it as she tries to remember what it feels like not to buzz like an entire hornet’s nest. She’s fine, she repeats to herself. The mantra is soothing simply in its repetitiveness; it gets her mind off of the sensation that won’t leave her alone ever since she lived it. She’s fine, she’s alive, and she’s not losing her grip on consciousness because all her organs are shutting down. Nya is fine, not actually feeling the venom seep into her skin through the coarse fabric of the wedding dress, cold for just a millisecond before erupting into white-hot pain across her skin. If her vision is off, it’s because of the tears welling up despite her stubborn efforts to blink them away, not the spots that danced across her world as Flintlocke’s fatal accident slowly claimed her life-

Her breath catches in a sob. Nya furiously muffles it behind her hand.

It didn’t even happen. She’s been through so much, she’s been in danger so many times, and this is the one that sticks? So it killed her, yeah, admittedly that’s a big step above the other times, but it hadn’t happened to anyone else except her, and Jay, and she can’t, won’t, make those words leave her lips. Every other problem in her life, she’d risen above, she’d fixed and wrestled back into her control, and then she’d gotten to square her shoulders and quip to the boys how easy it had been.

How does she fix something that’s only broken in her memories?

~~~~~

Nya remembers it all.

She almost wishes she didn’t.

(Link to my Masterlist)

--

‘Have fun tonight. And if it’s too much; take a break.’ The nurse shot Henry a warning glare before she stepped out of the door, Henry’s warm smile showing just how eager he was to send her out so he and Bee could get the house ready for the arrival of the kids.

THE KIDS. HOLY… The thought alone made his stomach jump in excitement and terror.

Clicking the door closed, he was met with the mildly worried gaze of Phoebe, her arms folded over her long sleeve shirt, long blond hair braided away from her face.

‘What?’ Henry gulped, thinking he had done something wrong.

But Phoebe just grinned, her lips curling in a smile. ‘I never thought I’d see a man this excited to learn he was the father of four kids..but here we are.’

‘Well, can’t back up now, can I?’

Phoebe let out a chuckle. ‘You bet your ass you can’t, Mr Cavill!’ But as the words escaped her lips, that all familiar agony moved over her face. ‘I mean. It’s okay, if it’s..not what you want. I mean, you can’t remember and..it’s a lot..and..’

‘Bee.’ Henry sighed. She was right to think this was a lot to take in. And he was looking at a long recovery time. Many patients changed after such a traumatic event. And even though he thought he had always wanted this, a family, it was like being hit by a train at full speed, the way he was thrown in a life he didn’t know how to live. He cleared his throat and stepped in closer, his tongue flicking over his bottom lip. ‘So, what do we do now?’

Phoebe sighed. ‘Well, they’re just here for a visit. But I thought we could make some tea and biscuits and..’

‘I’ll make the tea.’ Henry smiled.

‘Sure?’

‘That I am. Though I’m so sure on how I am to handle four kids.’

Phoebe stepped in and clasped a hand around his shoulder, squeezing it gently. ‘Two hours, that’s it. And if it’s too much, you just head upstairs and we’ll say you needed to sleep early - they’re familiar with that.’

Henry looked down at her hand on his shoulder, her fingers quickly letting go, thinking he disliked it. He took another deep breath and slowly nodded. ‘Any other..things?’

Phoebe shrugged and laughed. ‘Well. I don’t even know where to start.’

--

Henry was glad he was about 4 times the size of these four little monkeys, because by the time their shoes were removed and Kal was decorated with their scarves, Henry was next in line to be welcomed by their grabby hands which clung to him like they were a pack of little Koala bears.

Henry thought he had plenty of experience with his little nephews and nieces. But this sure was different. Tumbles of dark brown curls cascaded over mischievous pairs of blue eyes, the youngest one somehow the fastest of them all as he crawled around the living room as if possessed, little knees thudding on the floorboards.

‘DADDDYYYY.’ They all screamed, tugging at his clothes and starting different stories all at the same time, their eager hands begging for his attention as their eyes lit up with excitement.

There was the eldest, Sam, a shy 4 year old boy. There were the twins. A boy and girl, Max and Piper - a rowdy bunch, now 3 years old. And the youngest, 1 year old Cole, named after his granddaddy, the same granddaddy having opted for settling down in the reading chair in the corner as he waited for the storm to pass.

‘H-hi.’ Henry breathed, looking down at the bouncing heads of his kids, his hands awkwardly brushing over their curls.

‘Daddy! Daddy! Did you see my draw-things?! I made like,’ The little girl widened her arms. ‘THIS many.’

‘OH, did you now? That’s a lot.’

‘Yea, and granny helped! And we baked cookies and..’ - ‘Daddy, I need to go peepee!!!’

And then the youngest started to cry as he failed to get the attention he wanted, his bone wrenching, shrilly cries reverberating through the suddenly much too small living room. Henry looked in panic at Phoebe and his mom, who were looking at the situation in mild shock; maybe it had been a little too rash to introduce him to ALL the kids at once. But here they were. Clinging to him like it was just another Tuesday. Four monkey babies, excited to see their dad after what seemed like a lifetime in their short little lives.  

It took another fifteen minutes to somewhat calm the children, Henry having settled on a dining room chair as he watched the four pairs of blue eyes that stared back at him. The youngest had settled on Phoebe’s lap, his head rested on her slow breathing chest, and the twins had settled on the carpet, twiddling with the long strings of the rug as they nagged yet again that they were bored.

‘But I want my toys mommm.’ Piper nagged.

Next up was the youngest, who started to cry again, making Phoebe sigh in exasperation as she bounced him on her lap, before she decided it best to take a little walk, her slim legs walking out into the hallway, leaving Henry with the other three kids and his parents.

‘Are you my daddy?’ Sam frowned, sitting on the couch next to his grandma, large blue eyes studying the strangely familiar being that was Henry. Henry gulped at the boy’s question, his lack of knowledge of these children making the situation ever the more painful.

‘I eh..’ He frowned as he heard even louder crying coming from the kitchen, Phoebe trying her best to shush the crying babe. ‘I am.’

‘So why don’t you play with us?!’ Max exclaimed, falling down on his little back, hands stretching out to poke at his sister who growled like an annoyed little tiger cub.

‘MAAXXXX. Granny he’s doing it - OUCH - GRANNYYY.’

‘You two! Calm it, or you’ll go in time-out.’

‘But daddy is being weirdddd.’ Max protested, jutting out his lip.

‘But I’m still your daddy.’ Henry said, slowly crawling from his seat to settle down on the rug as well, his eyes searching the gaze of the twins, whose eyes immediately lit up - playtime? PLAYTIME!

‘So you’re going to play with us?’

‘HORSEYYYYY.’ Piper cheered, crawling out to Henry to tug on his sweater to climb up to his back. Henry, however, was quick to stop her, before she’d accidentally tug his hair and agitate his head wound.

‘DADDyyyy.’ She cried, fighting him as he settled her back on her bum. ‘But I wanna..’

‘Piper, hey, hey. Look at me.’ Henry’s voice got ever softer, the louder she cried, until finally her blue eyes opened again and she looked at him with a big, overexaggerated pout. ‘Daddy needs a little time. He, eh, was broken, and now needs to be fixed.’

‘I can fix you!’ Sam climbed off the couch and started to search for the toy box, immediately earning the attention of the twins who quickly rushed over to get a look in the treasure box.

‘YAAAYYYYYY.’

‘We’re gonna fix DADDY!!!!’  

The three of them all picked pieces of toys, their fast little feet managing to escape Colin, Henry’s father, as the old man tried to grab for their little hands. ‘OI, young lady! Do not, I repeat; do not..-’

His pleas fell on deaf ears as the three children all went for the kill, Henry barely managing to sit up on his haunches in time to defend himself from the vicious attack of three hyperactive children.

‘OUCH.’ He gasped, feeling the familiar hurt of a piece of Lego in his skin, his mind having a difficult time to process how again he used to deal with his nephews and nieces in situations like these - then again, he had been sharp and witty then, and now he struggled with remembering the fact he has a wife now.

And kids. Don’t forget about the kids.

‘Ohhhhhkay!’ Marianne chimed with a fierce and loud voice, her hands clapping together with a sternness that made all three kids look up. ‘I think that’s enough fixing for today. How about we go have a drink and some biscuits, hmm?’

‘BISCUITSSSSSS!!!’ Piper cheered again - it was clear that the little girl was a bubbly bee. Bee. Oh damn, Henry thought, crawling up to a standing position before he followed the children that were running out into the hallway to get to the kitchen, his parents hot on his heels.

‘You can take a rest if you want.’ His mother whispered, laying a soothing hand on Henry’s shoulder before he stepped into the kitchen. His blue eyes met with the wisdom that lingered in his mom’s smile.  

‘Sorry about that, mom.’ Henry sighed quietly.

‘No, no. Our fault, remember? Besides, it takes some time before you know how to deal with this hot bunch.’ She chuckled as she looked over Henry’s broad shoulder, the children jumping up and down around the kitchen island as Phoebe made an attempt to cool them down while she also bounced Cole up on her arm.

‘Don’t worry son.’ Colin squeezed Henry’s shoulder as Marianne also slipped into the kitchen. ‘No matter what happens, we’re here for you, mkay?’ The old man winked at Henry, who slowly shook his head.

‘Man, I wish they had a manual for this kinda stuff.’

Colin laughed. ‘If only, if only.’

The two men remained in the doorway as the women managed to calm down the children, the lot of them all being placed around the kitchen table before they were treated to freshly baked biscuits and a lot of mommy love.

It didn’t take long before the two hours were up and the kids were packed up back in Marianne and Colin’s car, Henry and Phoebe waving them goodbye with heavy hearts, but happy smiles. Small clouds of nightly cold drafted from their mouths as they turned back towards the door, a certain melancholy left in the house that was now silent again.

‘Don’t you want to..go with them?’ Henry asked quietly.

Phoebe looked up at him, the two of them now crowding the door mat as she pulled the door closed. ‘I miss a lot of things, but I need to be here with you now.’ A slightly sad smile moved up her lips.

‘You sure?’

‘Yea. For better and worse, remember?’ She laughed, only to feel that her choice words were awful, her breath hiccuping as she quickly evaded his gaze. ‘Sorry. That wasn’t nice of me.’

Henry sighed. ‘Please don’t feel bad. You’re the best mom I know..or..can remember.’ He smirked a little, but Phoebe didn’t seem to be so easily consolable. ‘Bee, hey.’ Henry used his thumb to tilt her head up, their eyes meeting. ‘I don’t know if this is crazy of me to ask, but, eh…’ He cleared his throat, feeling his heart falter at the concerned stare of her penetrating blue eyes. Had he failed her? Fuck. He licked his lips, unsure of whether to proceed.

‘What?’ She finally breathed, her voice a little croaky.

‘Oh, it’s stupid silly I guess.’ Henry moved his hand to his head to scratch, only to be caught by her hand, her eyes giving him a half-amused smile.

‘I told you to stop doing that.’

‘That you did,’ Henry hesitated again, before simply blurting out: ‘would you like to go on a date with me?’

A short silence fell as Phoebe’s eyes widened in something so unreadable that Henry wasn’t sure whether she was about to scold him or break out in laughter. And how glad he was it was the latter, her lips pulling up into a most amused little chuckle. ‘What now?’

‘A..date? Wait, has that word changed in the..?’

‘No, no. Dating is a thing. And..’ She now burst out into a full fit of giggles.

‘What?’

‘Well, we never really dated. We just..’ Her eyes widened.

‘What, Bee? Don’t leave me hanging here.’

‘No, no. I mean YES! I want to go on a date with you, though, eh, no, let’s talk about this later. It’s been a long day and..’ Her words died as she sniffled again, her hand now moving up to brush carefully through his chocolate brown curls. ‘I’d love to go on a date with you.’

[thephoenixdescendant]

Hi, I hope im not bothering you, can you do where the bf5 are on a date with their S/O and they find a stray animal, but they end up keeping it.

This ask is so cute! ❤️ I have two cats that used to be a strays.

(PS: The BF5 only finds stray cats and dogs because those are the only animals I know how to write. 🤷‍♀️)

Vert Wheeler

He's a dog person. So, when (S/O) found a stray kitten, he wasn't sure if he'll make a good owner.

Of course he'll take in the poor kitten. Even if he isn't a cat person.

(S/O) was so happy when Vert allowed her/him to keep the kitten.

When (S/O) and Vert took the kitten to the hub, they cleaned the smol floofy kitty from dirt, mended it's injuries with the help of Agura and fed it.

Vert played with the kitten for an hour. He enjoyed it too much.

He named the kitten "Jasper" because it was a fluffy orange and brown kitten.

The whole night, he let Jasper sleep with him. Ever since then, Jasper sleeps in Vert's bed.

The day that (S/O) found Jasper was one of the best days in her/his life.

Agura Ibaden

Agura was literally crying when she saw a stray puppy in the streets while driving back to the hub.

She was thanking (S/O) for over a thousand times for pointing that there was a sweet angel in the streets.

(S/O) doesn't really need to say to take the lil pup in. Agura has no problem taking in whatever animal she sees.

Agura knows how to mend injuries. She fixed the little cut on the pup's little bean toes.

Named the little pup "Hunter" because the dog looks like a german shepherd to be honest.

Agura trained "Hunter" really well. When he got older, (S/O) was no longer scared while walking alone in the streets or something. Because, Hunter is there with her/him for protection and comfort.

Zoom Takazeumi

Zoom was so upset to see (S/O) crying over a pregnant cat who's injured.

(S/O) held the cat like it was her/his baby and asked Zoom to take it to the Vet.

Zoom raced to the Vetenary Hospital and rushed to the doctors.

(S/O) went to the pet store while the cat was being treated.

She/He spend over $1000 on stuff. (S/O) picked out the best quality stuff, which was the most expensive ones.

(S/O) named the mama cat "Molly" because... She was cute. She was a white and grey cat.

Zoom has taken care of cats before. So, he knows how to deal with a pregnant cat.

Sherman Cortez

Sherman has never taken care of a pet before.

(S/O) found a stray dog. It looked like a Labrador and it was really skinny from not eating anything.

Sherman felt really bad and really wanted to bring the dog in.

He held the dog very gently, because the dog is really weak. It couldn't even stand up properly.

He took it to the Vet. And after mending it's injuries, he brought the sweetheart to the hub.

He named it "Cole" because it was a black labrador.

After taking in Cole, he started morning walks with him and never missed a day without atleast having a 10 minute walk with Cole.

Spinner Cortez

Just like Sherman, he has never taken care of an animal. But he has played with dogs and cats from his friends house.

He saw a kitten while walking with (S/O) out of a restaurant. It was hiding behind a dumpster.

The kitten was so scared and it kept running away. Luckily, Spinner managed to catch it before it ran away from them.

The little kitty started to scratch Spinner's arm, but he didn't care.

There weren't any injuries, which was a good thing.

Him and (S/O) spent hours playing with the kitten with a ball.

He named it "Zelda" because he's a big gamer and he loves "The Legend of Zelda".

(S/O) bought her a giant bed that's in the shape of a pixelated heart which was adorable.

Stanford Isaac Rhodes IV

Completely a dog person.

Him and (S/O) was walking out of a really fancy restaurant and found a golden retriever rummaging through the dumpster.

When they went near the dog, it was wearing a red collar. It had an owner and it left the poor dog.

Luckily, the dog isn't the attacking type.

There weren't any injuries.

Stanford and (S/O) managed to take the dog to the hub.

(S/O) named him "Prince".

Stanford ordered a bunch of dog goodies from the pet store. Of course they were the expensive ones.

Stanford really wanted a dog since he was little and now, he finally has one.

Tezz Volitov

Has never even taken care of a pet.

(S/O) was holding a little puppy.

Tezz really wanted a pet for so long and he finally got one.

The little puppy had several injuries on it's arm, it's head and on it's back.

They took the pup to the vet before going back to the hub.

Tezz named it "Kiara" because he thought it was a really cute name and it looked like a Border Collie

(S/O) has never seen Tezz smile at anything or anyone other than her/him, which made (S/O) really happy.

AJ Dalton

Just like Agura, he LOVES animals.

If this man got hands to a friendly tiger cub, he'll take it in.

He saw a fluffy white kitten while coming back home from a skii trip with (S/O).

There weren't any injuries.

He swooped the kitten in his arms and took it back to the base.

(S/O) and AJ couldn't even stay away from the kitten because it was so adorable and addicting. They spent hours playing with her.

AJ named her "Snowy" because it was a white fluffy kitten.

Ninjago Angst Week: Day 5 - Separated

@ninjago-angst-week Also late

It’s Jay’s turn now. Skybound was one of my favorite seasons, but also one of the darkest ones as well. (Other than Seasons 8 and 9, of course.)

Trigger Warnings: Blood, implied torture, imprisonment

---

When Kai disappeared, Jay knew that all hope was lost.

They were trying to reach Misfortune’s Keep, which Captain Soto had said held the lantern map to the Tiger Widow’s Island. His head was still spinning from his last encounter with Nadakhan, the information that his wishes (or, more accurately, his first wish) gave him, and stupid, stupid Jay let himself get carried away, causing him to trip over a passing barrel, which left him behind as Kai shot ahead of him.

“Kai, no, wait!” Jay yelled, scrambling to catch up to his hotheaded brother, who was climbing up a building in that scary fast way. Panic bubbled up from his chest. No no no, not Kai, not his brother, not when Nadakhan is out loose. “We’re supposed to stay together!”

But it was too late. As Jay finally scurried up the building that Kai was on, he saw the red ninja being carried away by Nadakhan, before they both disappeared in a flurry of orange dust.

“No!” he screamed, his voice already hoarse from shouting. “Kai!”

How could you let this happen? His mind screamed at him. How could you let Kai separate from you? How could you let your brother be alone with Nadakhan?

Jay stood there for a while, hoping that Kai—brave, reckless Kai, his hotheaded, insane brother—would reappear, having refused to give into the temptation of wishing. Wishing for something more. Wishing to make everything better. Like Jay had. But, Kai was much stronger than him, much more rebellious, much more resistant to these kinds of things, so Jay shouldn’t need to worry, he shouldn’t need to think that everything had gone so downhill in so little time.

. . . right?

But as his other teammates called for him to come down, reporting that Cole had the lantern, Jay had a sinking feeling that the fire ninja hadn’t escaped after all. And that, in itself, was almost enough for him to just give up and let everything fall all around him.

Almost.

(Because if there was one thing he had learned from Sensei Wu, the lesson strengthened by Kai and his courage, it was that ninja never quit.)

When the others asked where Kai was, Jay couldn’t answer. Like the coward he was, he didn’t tell them that he had let Kai go and get himself lost. Gone.

Their most driven and passionate fighter, taken by a djinn.

⸺

When Zane was lost as well, Jay knew that the chances of defeating Nadakhan were close to none.

This time, it happened during a thunderstorm. And just his luck, Jay was the team’s lightning rod. Not that he was complaining—the electricity striking him, traveling through his body, it felt riveting. Energizing. Powerful. As if the lightning itself was giving him strength, as if it was a part of him. Which, in a way, it was.

As soon as Lloyd told Zane to go below deck, panic once again bursted from him, and Jay blurted almost hysterically, “No! Zane— he shouldn’t be alone! We all need to stay together!”

But nobody had listened. And Jay was left stuck on the top of the mast, watching fearfully as Zane followed Lloyd’s orders. He swallowed, squeezing his eyes shut, not even paying attention to the exhilarating energy as a lightning bolt struck him again.

Again, Jay tried to reassure himself. Zane was smart—he wouldn’t make a single wish, not to mention three, so he shouldn’t worry about him disappearing as well. The nindroid would know that more wishes would only mean more pain and suffering, that more wishes would mean another brother lost, that more wishes wouldn’t benefit anyone.

But when the ship crashed into an island, and everyone had noticed Zane missing, Jay knew that Zane had given in. The others knew, too, and immediately, predictably, everyone had blamed him. It’s all Jay’s fault. They’d blamed him for not telling them about Nadakhan before, about his first two wishes, and Jay didn’t blame them.

He blamed himself, too, for being so weak, so breakable. If it had been anyone else, they wouldn’t make the same mistakes he did. If it had been anyone else, Kai and Zane would still be here with the team. Whole. United.

But it hadn’t been anyone else. It had to be Jay, the most expendable and weakest person on the team, the liability, the heartbroken. And now Zane was also lost. Gone.

Their most intelligent and compassionate fighter, taken by a djinn.

⸺

When Jay stupidly got himself captured, he knew that he shouldn’t make his last wish.

He tightened his grip on the mop that he was using to scrub the deck of Misfortune’s Keep as Nadakhan kept blathering on about creating Djinnjago and all that stuff, and then the djinn thrusted his sword in front of Jay. His heart clenched as he could clearly hear the frightened screams of his friends, his Sensei, his brothers, all wanting to escape from their prison.

“Wish it,” Nadakhan whispered, almost as if taunting him, urging him to say the word. “Wish it all away and join them.”

And oh, how Jay wanted to wish it all away, wish himself into the sword, so he could be reunited with his brothers and never be alone with Nadakhan ever again, because if there was one thing he hated more than being weak, it was being separated from his family.

But he didn’t, and he clenched his jaw, tearing his eyes away from the jaded blade.

Even if it killed him inside, he wasn’t going to let the team down. Not again. Not anymore.

Instead, he straightened up, glared at Nadakhan, and did what he did best. He threatened him. He taunted him. He teased about his situation, however dark it was. But he didn’t break, didn’t fail, didn’t quit. Because ninja never quit, and ninja never quit on others.

Jay almost regretted doing all those things when he was thrown into Scrap N’ Tap, some kind of messed-up fighting ring for the pirates’ entertainment.

Almost.

Jay couldn’t help the cry of pain that escaped him as he was knocked to the side. He swore he heard a rib break somewhere, and he pressed a hand to his side, biting his lip so hard that it bled. He wasn’t sure how long he could go, he thought hazily as he sluggishly rolled to the side, too slow to dodge the punch. His head snapped to the side as pain blossomed on his left eye.

Somewhere in his fevered brain, Jay heard the pirates laughing as someone else entered the ring. Gritting his teeth, with one eye closed tightly shut, he slowly pushed himself up, almost falling over again as he tried to right himself.

“You can wish it all away,”Nadakhan taunted, circling around him. Jay exhaled slowly out through his nose. “Wish all the pain away, and you’ll never have to suffer again.”

“Yeah, right,” Jay shot back, though his voice was a little muffled. He spat out the blood, messily wiping his mouth with his sleeve.

That earned him a kick right in the gut, which would’ve only made him double over slightly, but he was tired and angry and sick of everything, and as his legs buckled under him, Jay didn’t even try to catch himself, letting his head hit the ground.

Oh, he did wish he was somewhere else right now, that everything didn’t hurt so much, but he just clenched his jaw and took every beating the sadistic pirates gave him.

⸺

Jay curled up in his prison—because that was what it was, a prison. A cage. It smelled of blood and other gross stuff from previous prisoners that he didn’t want to think about, and again, he almost regretted not saying his final wish, to wish it all away and never feel this pain again. Not just the physical pain, but the emotional pain of knowing that the rest of his team was out there, that they could probably be in trouble and Jay wouldn’t even know it, but most of all, he was afraid that they had abandoned him. That they had left him alone, forever separated from his family.

No. Jay shook his head furiously, trying to banish the thought away. They— they would come and rescue him, right? It was the main reason that he’d held out so long, that he’d refused to give in and break. This wasn’t for nothing, right?

But as the days passed, each one dwindling his chances to escape, Jay could feel his hope fading. Why would his family save him? It was his fault that they were in this mess in the first place, his fault that they’d gone through so much trouble and suffering. He was a liability, a weakness in the team, and if they— if they just, just abandoned him, left him alone in this place, it’d be so much easier for them, right? No mistakes, no blaming, no trouble.

Jay choked back a sob, tears leaking out of his eyes. He really was almost regretting making his last wish.

Almost.

Oh, how he hated being separated from his team, trapped and alone. He might as well be lost to them. Gone.

Their most expendable and useless fighter, taken by a djinn.
