there's this thing with critical role (and RP shows in general but most of my experience is with CR,) where you are aware that you are watching both a narrative unfold in real-time, but that it is also being done through a group of people who are also having fun, and making jokes, and are really tuned in for the moment
and so because of this, sometimes things in-game happen because someone at the table was feeling a little sillay, and sometimes that has long-term ramifications (🦌🐟). and sometimes it's a spur of the moment thing that could be important, but there are a lot of important things going on, and so it gets pushed under the rug
it also doesn't help that sessions are at least a week apart, and it just seems difficult to carry too much negative energy between characters week-to-week. If this were all happening consecutively to a written character, they'd feel the frustrations pile up fast. but there's a lot of breathing room between all of the small things, and unless someone deliberately keeps note of those things and repeatedly brings them up (bard's lament), they do kind of just get dropped.
and so you end up with people who are just like. waiting for imogen to tear orym apart because he gave laudna a beat of approval for the bor'dor incident. you end up with people who spent the entirety of late CR2 waiting for the nein to reckon with how they mistreated, or at least underappreciated, caduceus. (🙋‍♀️)
and on the one hand it's like, yeah, these actions could have consequences. and it'd be really great if that did get explored in canon. but it's also funny going from scathing twitter threads about the weak, fractal connections of these characters that are sure to blow up in their face, and then the next episode imogen is giving orym a piggyback ride through the sky.

Go home, Hobie Brown pt. 2
Hobie Brown x reader
Part 1:
Notes: Alt and aro ace reader (although that’s less relevant here), fluff-ish, reader remains GN but might have a writing bias towards fem, Hobie does some illegal shit, Hobie and reader are adults, use of (y/n), no phonetic spelling of Hobie’s accent, brit written by a European sue me, he’s probably a bit OOC in this one,
“Why does reader work at a factory and not, say, a pub? That’s a little weird isn’t it?” it’s bc I work at a factory and this is once again ✨wish fulfillment✨
So this initially was something else, but I realized that it was similar in structure to my previous work and that if I reworked it a little bit, it would be a nice addition to that. Is this a series now? I fucking hope not, I have a bad track record finishing those. Loosely connected two shot for now. I might come back tonight to tweak some stuff, but I think it is in a readable state lol
Pls dont repost anywhere thx ✨️
Tumblr media
You tried your best to ignore him. An half hearted attempt to deprive him of the reaction he wanted while you continued to flatten out your stack of cardboard boxes, throwing them into the container next to you. Hobie was standing right in front of you, not having said anything to you since he arrived. He stood far enough away from you for it to appear casual and incidental, but close enough for him to still tower over you.
Finally, his patience caved. “…hey,” he said.
“Hey, Hobie,” your tone was cool. You didn't feel as embarrassed now that there were no people around, right outside of the small factory you worked at.
“What are you doing?”
You peered up at him with a smirk on your face. “I need to throw out these boxes. You know, for my job? My job that I have at this factory that we’re currently at. That you jumped a fence over to get to just now.” You gestured towards the fence right in front of you.
“Ey no way,” Hobie laughed as if he hadn't known all along. “You think they got cameras?”
You shrugged, all the while continuing your work. “We have a front door. You could’ve just talked to the lady at the front desk. She might have let you through, you know?”
“Nah, didn't like the look of her.”
"She probably wouldn't have liked the look of you either to be fair," you laughed. Technically, she'd be right, Hobie was trespassing. But she was a sour tart anyways, so you understood Hobie’s comment.
"What's wrong with those boxes anyways?" He pointed. "They look brand new."
You had noticed that he had been antsy about that. He probably didn't like you throwing out boxes that were still more than usable. It wasn’t something you agreed with either, but it wasn’t up to you.
"Dunno." You answered. "I don't think theres anything wrong with them perse. They probably prepared more than they needed."
"That's IT?! What a bloody waste," He gave the container a kick after his outburst. "Why are you contributing to this,"
"Boss's orders" you gave him a cheeky salute.
"I'm disappointed in you," You choked back a laugh.
"I knew you would be. I'm part of the machine, Hobart," You stuck out your hands and did a mock robot walk. “they’re coming to get you, Hobart-” 
Hobie pushed your arms back to your sides. His hands lingered there longer than your heart could handle "That stupid uniform too... They're stripping you of all the important bits."
"Well.” You said, hoping to go back to a lighter tone. “If you know of an anarchist version of this part-time job where I can come and go when I want, where I barely have to speak to people and where I make this much money, doing the workload equivalent of Homer Simpsons job, then let me know." It was true, this was the easiest part time you've ever had. "If you look at it like that, I'm practically stealing from the boss, don't you think?"
"I know of a job like that." He said, playing along. "It's called 'dating me'. heard It's got real good benefits too. "
"Ohhh does that include the part that I dont have to talk to my boss?" Hobie’s big dumb smirk dropped to an amused smile.
"No, I'd prefer if you kept doing that to be honest."
You couldn't hold it in and you awkwardly laughed alongside him.
"Can I have them?" He asked out of the blue.
"Pardon?"
"The boxes.”
"What do you need cardboard boxes for?" You put the box you had picked up back on the pile. "Don't become a hoarder, Hobie, I'll stop visiting you guys."
"Not me," he picked up one of the boxes to inspect. "For Gwendy. These are the exact size she uses to ship her clothes in when she sells them online."
You looked at him with narrowed eyes. If he took the few remaining boxes, you could finish up and go back inside, which was tempting.
Before you could answer him, the door to the building opened.
"Hey (y/n)," your manager said. "I came to check on you. Who's this..?" She frowned at Hobie, who was obviously not supposed to be there. Hobie looked troubled, even though he liked testing the boundaries he didn't want to get you fired over something like this. Which is honestly something he should have thought of before coming over, but what can you do.
"Actually," you said in the most somber tone you could muster. You placed your hand on Hobie’s arm in a comforting gesture. "Hobie just told me his grandma passed away this morning." You felt him stiffen up, his emotions shifting from confused to amused to acting out sadness in a split second.
Hobie, of course, didn't have a grandma in his life.
"Oh..." your manager said, you knew how empathetic she was. "I'm so sorry to hear that."
“I’m sorry ma’m.. I know I’m not supposed to be here, but,“ He let out a very fake sob and you suppressed the desire to roll your eyes. “I just know how close (y/n) was to my nan... I’ll be going now...“
Before he went though, he turned around and grabbed an entire armful of cardboard boxes. Leaving your manager stunned. Hobie walked towards the fence gate.
“You perhaps got a key for this gate? Ah, you do? Thank you I’ll be leaving now, Cheers.“
Your manager looked at you when he left. “Ah well. Nan would have hated for those boxes to go to waste.”
---------
Alright wow, I'm being so productive with fics at the moment this is kind of crazy.
I hope he isn't TOO out of character? I think it's really hard to get his speech pattern right. And then I don't just mean his accent, but how that interacts with his cheeky and confident way of talking. But my biggest pet peeves in fics of his at the moment are a) phonetic spelling of his accent and b) people who write fake and cringey British slang. (He doesn't constantly speak in cockney rhyme in the movie ppl lol) Bonus point if both are true, haha... I've lived in England, but honestly, getting it right is difficult, and I still feel like I'm having him say american phrases 😭

while from the doylist perspective the stories are specifically propping tim up compared to jason by doing this... i am obviously still very interested in, and compelled by, jason canonically having a pretty high opinion of tim going all the way back to their first meeting.
(for the record, absolutely nothing in-universe justifies jason having this opinion of tim up until tim springs him from prison imo. he beat the snot out of tim in tt29 and it wasn't even hard and yet for some fucking reason he still walks away thinking tim is a Better Robin than he was? like... ok. sure. more thoughts on this later in the post tho)
so the new earth (post-crisis pre-reboot) continuity tim-jason interactions we have, in order, are batman 617-618 (from batman: hush, this ones a retcon and barely counts, its just jason holding tim hostage with a batarang to his throat; and you might also get a glimpse of jay doing this in batman annual 25 lol but its in the other room so im not checking), tt29 (published in the middle of uth coming out, lol), tt47 (countdown tie-in), robin 177 and 182-183 (post-countdown, immediately after jason dumps his red robin costume and one of tims rogues fishes it out of the dumpster to wear, correctly intuiting *for some reason* that this will get to tim), and......... sigh. stupid battle for the stupid cowl.
(and, since were talking about jasons perspective, theres also the picture wall in lost days. i dont know what issue it is because to me lost days is not "made up" of "issues", it is one book i simply open to devour whole whilst weeping.)
i think tt 29 is the interaction i find the most frustrating because... we have an idea what tt29 would have been like if it were good. bc we have ga01 69-72. and granted Tim is such a cocky little shit (affectionate) that jason simply. Would probably not have been able to scare him no matter what, lol... but imagine if this fucking issue had been good.
ok cutting 4 length
the problem with johns. .......the FIRST problem with johns. is that he regularly has interesting ideas and his execution of them completely falls flat. the second problem with johns is that he can't write dialogue. the third problem with johns is that it was really really important to him that you understood what a Talented And Special Boy tim is but instead of showing you that he just forced other characters to. tell you. over and over. jason is not johns' only victim in this quest. (and johns was also not the only perpetrator, as we will see when i get to fuckin fabnic.)
but like i said i *am* actually interested in the potential here, because i do think there is potential.
and i also think that--at least when you read into it as deeply as i do--jason is sympathetic in this issue. (don't give me "hes beating up a child" crap here btw. jason's only 2-3 years older, tims a peer to him, they could easily have gone to high school together if jason hadnt fuckin died.) johns deliberately shows us Jason hoping raven gets a reprieve from the nightmares, and he certainly was *trying* to show us how much it would fucking suck to be remembered as the Bad Robin, forgotten except to be a cautionary tale, what kind of things that would do to a person emotionally. AND he makes a point of highlighting Jason's loneliness and isolation as robin, and. tbh i dont think the issue itself rly blames Jason for that. (you most certainly do not gotta hand it to him though. under no circumstances do you gotta hand it to johns for anything.)
and while jason tearing off his clothes to reveal his party city knockoff robin costume--the better to beat you with, my dear--was, erm. falling mostly on the wrong side of the line btwn camp and cringe... i do think jason writing his own name in blood on the wall was right on the money, *especially* because it was obviously not tims blood. like, tim wasnt bleeding anywhere near enough for that. it was either fake blood or jason prepped his own beforehand for them to DNA test--but also if they saw it before they saw tim, to make them fear for tims life, as a reminder of the risks theyre dealing with here.
oh but i was planning on talking specifically about like. what Jason might actually have seen in tim that left him with a positive impression. as-written? kinda nothing. lmao. or well the one thing imo is this
just kidding i couldn't find the panelz somehow despite posting them literally like yesterday and i ran into this lol:
Tumblr media
>:| got distracted again. by this.
anyway i give up ill add the pics later. but its the exchange where jason has *decisively* won the fight, tims crumpled on the floor concussed and winded, and jason demands if tim *really* thinks he was good enough to tail bruce unnoticed for weeks.
and tim says "yes." hes beat up enough he can barely talk but there's still no hesitation whatsoever. and jason is *really* down on himself in this issue--he calls himself a failure, he feels like no one cared about his death, he feels unremembered. and jasons stated intentions here were to get the measure of tim but i also stand by the interpretation that he wanted to warn tim off of the sidekick gig, to remind him you uh. you have to be dick fucking grayson to survive it. (i dont believe either of them mentions him by name, but hey, dicks shadow is big enough for the both of them.)
i think what jason finds worthy of respect here--and, on top of that, intriguing enough that in robin 177 he entreats tim to join him--is the confidence, and also? at absolutely no point does tim believe jason is there to kill him. not a fuckin high bar, i know, but like i said i do think jason had *planned* to try and scare tim off (just also mega derailed himself by accident bc he got too in his feelings about the statue room 🥺), and... its not a bar he would have expected Tim to clear, is all im saying. particularly because while it is *possible* this took place in the middle of uth (tt 29 was released in november 05, between batman 646 and 647, which is the part where slade shows up bc black mask hired him to take jason out, so tt29 couldnt have happened in the middle of those two specific issues, but there are several other points at which jason could have taken a break in menacing gotham to fly to san Francisco), with Jason talking so negatively about himself i have to assume this is after the end of uth.
(you might be able to place this in the in-universe chronology by if/when teen titans mentions chemo dropping on bludhaven, which happens immediately before the bruce-jason-joker final showdown. however i dont feel like poking around for that or any other details to anchor tt29 to the other events happening at the time rn.)
i just also think so much of what jasons doing in this issue is like--he doesn't know *what* hes there to do. he had a plan and hes kinda fumbling it, not because tim is being especially resourceful but because jasons still licking his emotional wounds from uth, and titans tower is bringing up ones i dont think he ever realized hadnt healed. hes feeling everything at once. hes angry and hurt and full of self loathing but i think by the time tim simply says "yes," jason hits the stage of just being... burnt out. done lashing out, fucking tired, just wants to go home, if he can ever find it.
but i do think that "yes" would stick in his craw for a long time afterwards.
tt47: tim kicks jason in the nuts and pretty much declares them even for tt29 lolol. you may have seen my post about how jason only *sometimes* wears armor in countdown--hes drawn in the armored turtleneck and tac pants in tt47, but there are times in countdown hes out there fighting aliens and metas and shit in his jacket, a *t-shirt,* and *jeans.* just a squishy regular degular baseline human doing this and no one ever brings it up. but anyway. do i think tim would have seen jason wearing the equivalent of civvies plus a domino mask, narrow in on that, and immediately decide to kick him in the balls? i sure do. do i also think that this would make him rise in jasons estimation?
yeah. yeah, i really do. lol
anyway after this! after this is jasons briefish world-hopping stint as red robin saving the universe being a big damn hero and getting paid dust by everyone around him, in countdown; i think i mentioned before in this post that at the end he abandons the red robin suit in a dumpster, where it gets picked up by one of tims rogues. this storyline sucks and fabnic is a hack unfortunately. the rogue did it bc he wants tims attention or whatever. not important except for how irritating it is that fabnic fumbled a concept this juicy (tim inheriting and eventually purposely adopting The Bad Robin Mantle) which is also further fumbled by stupid battle for the stupid cowl, and the people who it falls to to salvage it are. johns again, in adventure comics 3, and yost, who is a better writer than johns or fabnic but not by like a huge margin.
and while i do think tim having a bad opinion of jason at this point was inevitable i find it so frustrating the way it was executed... like so often with Bad Tim Writing and also fuckin DC Editorial's Jason Slander Agenda shit it wasn't because in-universe thats how the characters would feel, the writer was using tim as a mouthpiece, and jasons competence and things he cares about arent taken seriously... BUT WHATEVER the point is that when Tim goes to stop Jason from his villainous scheme to reduce crime or whatevr jason has such a high opinion of him that he asks tim to join him:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
and jasons loneliness, his desperation to be heard, is such a theme for him in the new earth/post crisis era and i wish it had been. Handled better lol are you noticig a theme here its that Jason has been written badly. (tim too, tbh.) and when tim says no jasons dejected but unsurprised acceptance breaks my heart. but to me the most interesting part of jasons appearance at the end of tims robin series is in 182, when tim--for absolutely no good reason--gives jason the means to break out of prison.
Tumblr media
he says something about how its what Bruce would have wanted, but for. reasons i wont get too deeply into rn, that absolutely does not hold water.
anyway i just think there's no way jason doesn't start crushing on tim at least a little at this point. shrug.
bftc sucks and i dont want to look at it rn. but its also got examples of jasons high opinion of tim. and also im mad at it bc both countdown AND his appearances in robin feel like they could have been taking jason to a like. more of an antihero type of role and then we get bftc and morrison and its kind of. fucking hard to get jason anywhere near back on track after that for those of us who still like playibg in the post-crisis pre-reboot sandbox. and i wouldnt be mad about that if bftc had been good bc Jason absolutely does make an incredibly interesting and effective and tragic antagonist when handled well but well. he wasnt. and i have no idea what bftc would.have even been like if it was good bc it was so off the wall and dumb and assassinated actually *everyones* characters. so.
anyway
im just going to roll back to robin 183 now
Tumblr media Tumblr media
jasons referring to the damage tim got when he got a little bit exploded in 180, this pretty nasty burn on the back of his head, which was actually why he wore jasons RR cowl for the first time (he was still robin). but what you do see here--aside from Tims narration which puts him *firmly* on the side of obnoxiously arrogant and judgmental instead of charmingly cocky in this issue, to my estimation, thanks for nothing fabnic--is the two of them on firmly cordial terms. jason still thinks more highly than tim does of him, but theyre asking each other about their injuries... tim caring about the wellbeing of people he doesn't even like is par for the course with him, ofc, but once again Jason doesn't really get that a whole lot. constantly haunted by this panel from countdown btw:
Tumblr media
does he though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
here is another jaytim preboot canon interactions post from a few months ago with some more thoughts, some repeated lol.
anyway. incoherent rambling complete for now. however. jaytim time is all the time 👍 i will revisit this.

GHOST (mw2) X MALE READER (platonic)
NOT ROMANCE, uh, reader kinda already had a backstory, so kinda bordering on oc, but things like his hight/skincolor/appearance in general is kept blank.
its kinda dogshit looking back on it, so dont expect it to be like.. good, in any sense of the word, its riddled with plot holes and like. writting inconsistency. and also the writting as a whole is just.. mid
TW/CW's: torture, implications towards past abuse, maybe other stuff, but you get the gist, if you your not for any of this, dont read, keep yourself safe
“so..” I break the silence that had once held the room hostage. “you're ghost.” I didn't expect him to actually get captured, let alone get captured alive. Looking through all the intel we have on him, by all means we shouldn’t have been able to get him alive.
I doubt doing this will prove fruitfull.
Were both sat In an “interrogation” room. Only recently was it promoted as such. It used to be more of a “torture and kill” room. Its empty for the most part, only a metal table, two old wood chairs sitting across from each other, and a few pieces of paper with a pencil on my side of the table.
A door behind me, no windows, walls made of some bleak concrete. There are two guards outside the room blocking the door. Not for me. For him. Hes tied up, the boss was never one to take chances. Neither would I with the record and reputation this man has racked up.
“you probably know why you’re here..” I look around “ in this… room.”  He doesn’t budge. The mask makes this infinitely harder. “you should probably get comfortable.. I don’t see you leaving anytime soon.” I sigh. I don’t see him leaving ever. Hell probably get killed before he ever gets that luxury. 
“ill be completely honest with you. My.. boss, along with all my associates think that what im doing is pointless. They all want to tear into that skin of yours.” I put my feet onto the table. Taking a deep breath in trying to figure out how to word my next sentence. 
“I don’t think any of that will work.” Its blunt, but its true. “I think” I pick up the pencil on the table and start tapping it absentmindedly. “that no amount of pain, or threatening of your life, or humiliation will make you to tell them what they want to hear.” I look him dead in the eyes, trying to gage how he reacts. “I think that shit just brews spite.”
 Nothing. Honestly its kind of uncomfortable. Staring into his unblinking eyes. They always kinda look glazed over, and red, like he doesn’t sleep much. “I hope you can help me prove them wrong. Because once im done here today theyre going to start torturing you.” I look away. The eye contact is to uncomfortable. “so, whats your real name, ghost?” he doesn’t respond. “what is it.. jack? Is it.. jason?” (I wrote this at 2 am, and thought that jason was ghosts brothers kid, im pretty sure that isnt right, but ignore it, his name is jason now) theres something in his eyes when I say the name jason, but I don’t think its his name. maybe someone he knows. Or knew. “ill be honest im trying to think of british sounding names, and I cant find any.” I crack a joke. Obviously, he doesnt respond.
I sigh. This is going to take awhile. I suggest a few more names. Jason was the only thing that he reacted at. A small reaction however. It could have just been my mind playing tricks. “what about your family?” hopefully this gives me more. “what was your mom like?” nothing. “your dad?” an eye dart. There. That. That is what I needed. I hum, its low, its clearly satisfied. He picks up on it. “your dad, was he a good man,”
Shit. Nothing. Hes either correcting himself now because He knows what im doing. That im trying to get a stir out of him. Or I was mistaken about his reaction. I continue. “was he a bad man?” nothing. Im going to kill myself. “my dad was a bad man.” He shows a hint of confusion. I assume he wasn’t expecting me to talk about myself. “I mean he wasn’t a horrible man from what Ive heard. But he left me and my mom.” I get up from my spot on my chair, and hop up, sitting on the edge of the table to his right. I can see his face better now.
“and a good person doesn’t leave their family, now do they?”
He shifts his focus over to my new spot. He wants to talk. I don’t know what he wants to say, but I can feel his eagerness in the air. “from what I hear you have a dead brother.” Surprise, then anger, then sadness. He looks away. Off to his left. That makes things harder. “how old are you?” he looks to the table as he asks me a question. He seems genuinely curious. “well your definitely British, Jesus.” I remark on his accent. He looks up at me, unamused with my observation.
“im 20.” He doesn’t buy it at all. “19” he seems even less convinced. “17” his eyes narrow. “fine, 16..” I mumble looking at the ground. I don’t see his reaction, but it doesn’t matter. “what is someone your age doing workin’ for a group like this?” I side eye him. “and what is someone of your status doing getting caught by a group like this?” he grunts and goes back to looking to his left.
I sigh, I probably shouldn’t have retorted with that. I might just have sent myself back to square one. “what do you do with your free time, mr. ghost?” he doesn’t respond yet again. I definitely sent myself back to square one. I get off of the table, back into my seat across from him, “have you ever had any pets?” I look up at him, to see his reaction.
It’s a very telling reaction. Hes uncomfortable. “yes? No?” nothing. I look back down, grabbing a piece of paper, and the pencil, I start drawing him. He doesn’t know that though, or at least I assume he doesn’t. I might be a bit more obvious then I want to be. “whats your favorite animal?” I look up again. Hes uncomfortable, less then before, but that’s probably just him regulating it. “mine are snakes.”
He closes his eyes. Ive definitely found something. Theres a moment of silence. “I like the big yellow ones.” He opens his eyes. “I also like the folklore and stories behind snakes.” Hes disengaged. Fuck.
I back down. “who is your favorite artist.” Safer. “music, painting, writing it doesn’t matter.” I focus on my drawing. Im not looking to get a reaction. ”don’t have one.”  He answers. “why not?” a genuine question. “don’t have time to have one.” 
“well I mean, you cant be working all the time, you get a few weeks off after each mission right?”
“no.”
I hum a response. High pitched. Acknowledging what he said. I begin to get more focused on my drawing, talking less and less. Eventually were both sitting in silence, the only noise in the room being my pencil scratching against the paper.
“you like art?” he nods to the drawings in front of me.
“it passes the time.”
He doesn’t say anything after that. An hour passes by. Im done. Well. As done as ill ever be. I stand up, pushing my chair back. Eyes fixated on my art. Analyzing it to no end. I pick it up, and place it infront of ghost, while I stand close beside him.
“your eyes are expressive.” It sounds creepier then I meant it to. He looks down at it. He really looks at it. Not just a glance over. taking a few minutes. for a bit I think hes fallen asleep until he speaks. “impressive.” 
That’s all he has to say? He looks at a drawing for three minutes in silence, and all he has to say is one word? ‘impressive????’ that’s it????? This guy is gonna make me shoot myself. “thank you.” I try my best to make it sound earnest. A very difficult task. 
I sit back down at my chair. Hes still looking at the art. “theyre probably gonna come soon.” He looks confused at first, but then it clicks. Hes gonna meet those associates i mentioned earlier. “but if you give me as much as a hint of what they want to hear, I can probably stop him.” Ghost doesn’t respond. Quiet as always. I sigh and lean back in my chair. He looks down to the drawing again. “you ever been drawn before?” I ask
“negative.”
What freak talks like that? Negative??? I get hes in the military but Jesus fucking christ. “you can keep it if you get out of here alive.” I laugh at my own joke under my breath. 
“hold onto it. I don’t want it getting bloody.” He looks up from the drawing. Completely deadpan. I cant tell wether hes joking or not. 
The door behind me opens, I get up off my chair. “heyyy.” I greet the man at the door from my spot. Hes big. Big big. Probably 6’7-6’8. Sturdy build. Hes always been scary, but I guess that’s a part of the magic. He rolls in a cart im unpleasantly familiar with. It has an assortment of metal tools. For all sorts of different things.
“(reader).”he acknowledges me. his voice always finding a way to unsettle me. He walks past me, dragging his cart of goodies with him. He stops. Grabbing onto ghosts chair, the wood making a shrill sound as he trudges it to the back wall. He takes his cart with him. Ghosts breathing has gone rapid. Mine probably would too. Scratch that. Mine definitely would too.
I grab my drawing off the table. I don’t want to be in here. I start to leave. “(reader), leaving so soon?” the big man turns around, some horrible device already in his hands. Im quiet. I have to watch what I say around him. “yeah.” I search for the right words. “you know I don’t like loud sounds.” Its true, I don’t. theres a tenseness in the room. Like a twig bending before it finally snaps. 
He turns his normal sick expression into a hallow smile. “how forgetful of me.” He turns back to ghost. Whose eyes are darting around the room. Probably looking for a way out. He closes them shut tightly, and I find that my queue to leave. I quickly walk through the door, past the guards, and out into the hallway. 
That night wasn’t a very restful one. the concrete walls might as well have been made of paper.
boom, you made it to the end, wow thats rad, heres an emoji : 🤯
ALSO if i do continue this, ghost and reader are prob gonna have like a father/son or older/younger brother bond. but yeah. uh i hoped you liked the fanfic.

Agent 8 crumbs PLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASSPLSASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASEPLEASE
Okay well i GUESSSS i can ramble about agent 8 🙄 if i mustt
He/She Eight forever and always ^-^ people (including herself) default to she/her but she doesnt mind! Either prns are fine any time. Also doesnt label her sexuality he's just balling
Aside from all the sanitized kamabo bullshit i think hitting her head after the fight with agent 3 actually did give her some Lasting Brain Damage, and she has problems with forgetting things. Her and Agent 4's apartment is PLASTERED with sticky note reminders, even for stuff like "close the fridge" "turn off the stove" because she WILL forget to do that part
Agent 4 made her a little cookbook that step-by-step tells her how to make her favorite foods with those menial reminders to turn stuff on and off and close doors
AND she and Agent 4 have made what they call Eight's Brain Board, whoch is a crime board style corkboard that lays out all her memories and how they relate to each other just in case she forgets again. Proudly on display in their room
Likes wood-and-metalworking just to make little trinkets, most of the time Octivus or Squidmas gifts. The definition of Hobby On The Side that keeps her hands sharp. The first one she made on the surface was a little Salmonid keychain she gifted to Agent 4 ^-^
Still writes poetry too. She doesnt mean for it to be 8-8-8 syllables they literally just. Happen like that. She'll write a poem about literally anything. she wrote one about Agent 4's freckles
I know Donny is the shopkeeper in-game but Eight is the actual store manager for the Ammo Knights in Inkopolis Square. Sheldon hired her before he moved to Splatsville and she proved to be a VERY good employee so he let her take over the store
She and Sheldon often have friendly races between who can take apart and put a weapon back together the quickest. Eight's record is less than 2 minutes for a Hydra Splatling
Eight takes her job SUPER seriously and absolutely Will Not Budge on anything like prices or weapon availability. No "i left my ID at home" or "i'm basically level 10 cant i just have that one" she does NOT care. Rules are rules and by jove she will not only follow but she WILL enforce them
^ that being said she also HATES Grizzco. She doesnt like their shady vibe and has heard many horror stories about the actual work from Agent 4 (who works there to pay off his student loans) and she really really REALLY despises how they illegally modify weapons for golden rotations. Every time she finds a modified weapon she instantly confiscates and dismantles it. It's like a spit in the face to her entire career and she will not stand for it
Very good with teenagers! Mostly bc thats the majority of who comes into the shop. She loves hearing about their battle tales and has been jotting down little plotlines that unfold in her store (like a kid trying a new weapon to impress their crush, or someone climbing up the ranks in Clam Blitz, that type thing)
She has a reputation for being super nice to everyone but really its because she just has a really long fuse. It takes a LOT to get her mad
Charger main! She's amazing with any charger you put in front of her and she's an absolute MENACE in an inkbattle. Her favorites change but "you can never go wrong with a good and standard Splat Charger"
Her favorite battle mode is Tower Control!
She also Is crushing on Cap3 but she will literally never make a move. Partly bc they live across the ocean in splatsville now but also It's Agent 3. The Legendary Agent 3. Theyre Too Cool For Me (Agent 4 has been trying to wingman them together ever since they started hanging out. the pining is mutual theyre both just flustered. Hes suffering)
Idol relationships!!!!!!! Since she is genuinely good friends with Agent 3 she's frienda by proxy with the squid sisters. They dont really have a lot in common and dont hang out much but she and Marie like being menaces in inkbattles together because theyre both cracked with a Charger and love causing problems. Imagine 2 E-Liters on the Brinewater ledge. Hell. She finds it easy to chat with Callie and they'll talk about literally anything. Callie just has that effect on people i think
She sees Pearl and Marina as cousins, partly bc Pearl started calling her Cousin as a nickname but they really are like family. She lived with them for a solid month learning the language and etiquitte before they couldnt put off their Idol Jobs any longer, which is when she started living with Agent 4. They check in with each other every day and fuckig. LOVE EACH OTHER. She always gets front row tickets to their shows
Has only met Deep Cut very very briefly while being a roadie for OTH's world tour. They indimidate her but she'll take Marina's word that Big Man is chill at least. She's also heard good things about their heroism in Alterna from Cap3 so at the moment theyre vaguely Okay in her book
Also besties with Acht ^-^ initially bonding over Side Order bullshit but she finds their practical blunt nature to be really refreshing and calming. They mostly parallel-play when they hang out together. Like cats. She really likes their new music (can't listen to any Kamabo songs without feeling Bad after :( trauma and all. Acht respects this)
Shelly and Donny absolutely LOVE HER. She always entertains their kiddie ramblings and helps them out if they need a hand at their store, and theyre always welcome to work at her store if theirs is slow and they want something to do. She teaches them more about the weapons in a hands-on way so they have more to tell the customers rather than just parroting Sheldon
Speaking of, she's also great friends with Sheldon! Technically he's her boss but hes a very chill boss and she's been invited to family gatglherings outside of work and such. A good friend to the Shellendorf family!
"Hey eight how are you so cheerful all the time you have a very busy job and lots of friends to keep up with! Whats your secret!" Shes literally just in love with life. Thats it. After dealing with so much shit underground and nearly losing everything in Kamabo she has a huge appreciation for life itself. She relishes in the good and accepts the bad because at least she has a choice to experience it all. That being said can trauma responses go away she doesnt quite like those
(Hiiii :3 watch out here comes the extremely thought out backstory i made under the cut)
The reason shes so good with Chargers is actually because she was training under a Special Forces unit in the Octarian Army
She was known in her class for being super smart and quick on her feet but she just CANT build up any muscle mass, and the wasabi supply unit were already thinking of allowing Certain Octolings to use Chargers and Splatlings without being Octocommanders or Octosnipers, so they decided to guinea pig her with a Charger along with a smattering of other similar Octolings
She became like. SUPER good at using Chargers and a lot of her peers would call her The Next Marina because she surprised everyone with how cracked she was at like everything they threw at her. She never liked this comprison due to wanting to just Be Herself
She was also known for being extremely caring and empathetic, which landed her in hot water for speaking out against the way she and her fellow colleagues were treated as faceless soldiers, and wondered if plotting against the Inklings was even worth it st this point. She famously got in MASSIVE trouble for insinuating that they let The Great Zapfish go and was in Detention/Jail for like a While and nearly lost all her progress climbing up the ranks
Alsooooooo :3 in my personal canon she was part of the squad to escort Callie into Octo Canyon. It was her first time ever on the surface and once she got a taste for the real sun she needed more of it
(I know Octo Expansion is likely happening the same time as Splat2 Hero Mode but it makes sense for my canon for it to happen After)
Also she's 18 st the start of Octo Expansion just to tie back into the whole 8 thing they had going on
The whole hypnoshade thing was also thrust on Callie as a surprise and like. It's not fun to be Surprise Brainwashed so of course she fought back before the hypnoshades took effect. Eight still has a scar on her shoulder from where Callie dug her nails in. That experience was also the final nail in the "i gotta get out of here" coffin
Even though she had made up her mind to run away to the surface, it still really hurt to leave her life behind. She had real friends and even something romantic going on with someone special, as well as having actual good standings in the army with a bright future ahead of her, but the surface was more worth it in her eyes. being able to have her own life instead of one she was forced into was so appealing. Her friends think she's selfish and definitely resent her now (even though theyre fuzzed and barely remember her in turn)
Oh and also her name used to be Maia Idachi :3 but since she doesnt know her old name she can't find her file in Cap'n Cuttlefish's dossier. She doesn't want to go by facial recognition in case she mistakes her fime for someone else's and remembers something that never happened to her yknow (got Maia from amai, the japanese word to describe something sweet to tie into her being caring and empathetic, and Idachi from Idako which is the word for a species of Octopus)

Debunk this if you can. This person is speaking facts
"jikookers have started entertaining this theory that jungkook is super loud about jimin/jikook while jimin is super cautious and shuts down jikook as much he can, but that seems like such an odd misrepresentation of current events to me. and even amongst more reasonable jikookers it’s catching on as some kind of established fact. in all of jungkook’s recent lives, he doesn’t really talk about jimin at all. he hasn’t told us anything new or recent about jimin. other than elaborating on the rainy day fight (which was an event that took place years ago), he reacts to his content and that’s about it — which is sweet to see, but not particularly romantic. in his lives, jimin doesn’t “shut down” jikook per se but just doesn’t answer questions about jungkook with what shippers want him to hear (that he saw jungkook recently, that he visited jungkook’s place, that jungkook finally made him ramyeon). he’s just answering with what i would assume to be the truth. the last time we saw jikook interact face-to-face was at hoseok’s enlistment send-off, and jimin hugged jungkook so enthusiastically that he got harassment accusations lmfao. before that, it was during the smf pt.2 dance practice posted to bangtantv where jimin asked jungkook to come visit again. jungkook actually said “no” to that, either jokingly or not, but we don’t know if he visited again and that refusal doesn’t sound promising to me. but my point is that jimin’s actions there — when jikook interact in person — are not those of someone who’s being super careful about not letting his affection toward jungkook show. in his last live i’m pretty sure he called jungkook cute, too. all in all, they’re acting as friends do... there’s nothing really all that unbalanced about it. they’re just not acting as lovers probably would. whatever relationship jikook have right now — one that i’m pretty sure is not romantic (or no longer romantic) — it doesn’t seem one-sided to me at all. jungkook can watch all the jimin content he wants; he still didn’t physically show up for jimin at his shoots or recordings like yoongi and hoseok did. he didn’t know what his recording schedule for award show performances would be at all, actually. jimin doesn’t really mention jungkook without being prompted, but he’s certainly not “shutting down jikook” or he wouldn’t act the way he does when they see each other in person. jungkook hasn’t cooked jimin that ramyeon recipe despite them talking about it twice, but it doesn’t sound like jimin has taken initiative there either. jikookers will forget anything that doesn’t line up with their current conception of them."
Hi anon,
This is really weird. If you don't care about Jikook why did you write a novel about them? Just move on.
You had to share this in every Jikook blog since your post doesn't get views in your hater blog, huh? Luckily for you, I am in a bad mood today so I will break down this down so you can shoo away.
Haters are more obsessed with Jikook than we are, for reals.
Debunk this if you can. This person is speaking facts I dont know why I have to debunk someone's THOUGHTS because we are free to think what we want but ok? And thoughts are thoughts NOT FACTS.
"jikookers have started entertaining this theory that jungkook is super loud about jimin/jikook while jimin is super cautious and shuts down jikook as much he can, but that seems like such an odd misrepresentation of current events to me. -All of this is wrong. I don't know a single Jikooker that says that. I think Jungkook is loud and Jimin doesn't shut down Jikook. But you know who says stuff like this? Haters like you. But at the end of the day, I don't care what others think.
and even amongst more reasonable jikookers it’s catching on as some kind of established fact. in all of jungkook’s recent lives, he doesn’t really talk about jimin at all. he hasn’t told us anything new or recent about jimin. -Jungkook doesn't talk about Jimin at all? Is your sound on when you watch the lives? He has definitely told us about UPCOMING Jimin things.

other than elaborating on the rainy day fight (which was an event that took place years ago), he reacts to his content and that’s about it — which is sweet to see, but not particularly romantic. -Personally, I find the stuff that Jk is doing insanely romantic. Gosh, seriously?
You don't think Jk being enchanted by Jimin is romantic at all? (Even his body language shows it.)
youtube
Or how he smiles when he says his name?
Tumblr media
Or how he worries about Jimin?
Tumblr media
Or how he will make us all, haters included (even you) sit there and watch Jimin content with him?
Do you have a stones in your heart?
in his lives, jimin doesn’t “shut down” jikook per se but just doesn’t answer questions about jungkook with what shippers want him to hear (that he saw jungkook recently, that he visited jungkook’s place, that jungkook finally made him ramyeon). he’s just answering with what i would assume to be the truth. -I dont know about others, but I dont expect to hear that Jikook is hanging out. I don't even want to hear it. Look, I am more than happy knowing that Jikook is happy together somewhere. I don't need them to prove it to me because they don't owe me or any of us anything. I want them to be safe and happy. I'm not upset at the lives at all. Jikookery is still happening. I don't assume everything to be the complete truth. Like I said, they need to be safe and happy and ommition of some truths could be needed for that.
the last time we saw jikook interact face-to-face was at hoseok’s enlistment send-off, and jimin hugged jungkook so enthusiastically that he got harassment accusations lmfao. -Well, there you go, they were completely open there and Jimin got those nasty accusations. I rather them not show us anything in order for the parasites to not have any content on which to feed on. Oh anon, are you hungry?
before that, it was during the smf pt.2 dance practice posted to bangtantv where jimin asked jungkook to come visit again. jungkook actually said “no” to that, either jokingly or not, but we don’t know if he visited again and that refusal doesn’t sound promising to me. -Read this:
but my point is that jimin’s actions there — when jikook interact in person — are not those of someone who’s being super careful about not letting his affection toward jungkook show. in his last live i’m pretty sure he called jungkook cute, too. -Well, then you haven't seen enough Jikook to know what they are capable of doing. And be thankful for that because then you will write a 10 page essay on why Jikook is not real.
all in all, they’re acting as friends do... there’s nothing really all that unbalanced about it. they’re just not acting as lovers probably would. Sure, anon. Because I also sit and watch videos about my friends and go into an enchanted like state and smile at just the thought of them. And I also grab their privates, and check them out as they are leaving. Yeah, because that's what friends do.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
whatever relationship jikook have right now — one that i’m pretty sure is not romantic (or no longer romantic) — it doesn’t seem one-sided to me at all. jungkook can watch all the jimin content he wants; he still didn’t physically show up for jimin at his shoots or recordings like yoongi and hoseok did. he didn’t know what his recording schedule for award show performances would be at all, actually. -What if I told you he did attend? And your thoughts are irrelevant because Jikook will do whatever they want even if you are sure of your absurd thoughts.
jimin doesn’t really mention jungkook without being prompted, but he’s certainly not “shutting down jikook” or he wouldn’t act the way he does when they see each other in person. -You do know that Jimin picks the questions, right? That he could pick 1000s of others but he picked all the Jk related ones? Again, I dont know a single person who says that Jimin shuts down Jikook.
jungkook hasn’t cooked jimin that ramyeon recipe despite them talking about it twice, but it doesn’t sound like jimin has taken initiative there either. jikookers will forget anything that doesn’t line up with their current conception of them." -You do remember the btb for Hobi's enlistment, right? Where they had been together the night before drinking? Maybe they haven't had ramen but you do know that it's not the only food in the world, right? This is all speculation but they can eat anything. The only people angry about the ramen answers are nonJikookers. The ones I know were like "ok".
To be honest, I dont even know what the point of all this ask was. To debunk Jikook? In a Jikook blog...
Look, I don't like wasting my time on things that don't make sense. Yeah, I allow myself delulu thoughts for fun but then I chill and get my head out of the clouds.
You've probably never read my blog but I question random little things about Jikook because for me everything has to make sense.
I have views that other Jikookers don't have because I'm hypercritical and don't romanticize everything. You have to view things with a neutral head. Yours is clouded already. Which is why I dont trust a single thing you've said and I don't trust the majority of people either.
I like things where I have results then I can draw conclusions. This is the way my brain was trained. From what I can see, Jikook is fine at the moment. The evidence is there.
If I have a Jikook blog, it's because I observed and believe they are into each other. The moment I see things changing, I question everything because I'm not going to stick to something that is not real. If I conclude they are not real, I will close this blog and focus on Jimin only. So you coming here to debunk with word soup does nothing.
So how about you debunk all this, anon? Instead of saying only thoughts without 0 evidence.
Thank you for stopping by. Please don't come again.

I should have warned her about your habit of never doing what your told.”
You do seem obsessed with my look…Could it be that you're attracted to me?"

“I am a man, and men do not consume pink beverages. Get thee gone, woman, and bring me something brown.”

"Well, aside from mine, of course,And I'm sure my blood is fan-tastic.”
There might be a God, and there might be none, but we are all on our own.”
“Because I’m tiny, blonde, and look good in pigtails? “
Despite everything, I can’t bear the thought of this ring being lost forever, any more than I can bear the thought of leaving you forever. And though I have no choice about the one, at least I can choose about the other.”
If I made a joke about just dropping by, would you write me off as cliche?”
"You're not happy to see me, then? I have to say, I'm surprised. I've always been told my presence brightened up any room. One might think that went doubly for dank underground cells.”
Sometimes I dream you're gone,I keep wondering when you'll figure out how much better you could do and leave me.”
My eyes are usually described as golden… and luminous.”
Sorry, I think I fell asleep for a moment. Do, continue with whatever mesmerizing thing you were saying.”
I can’t believe he took you to an actual restaurant. I assumed his idea of a date would be making you watch him play World of Warcraft with his nerd friends.”
Just because you call an electric eel a rubber duck doesn't make it a rubber duck, does it? And God help the poor bastard who decides they want to take a bath with the duckie.”

The (unserious) notes of Beyond Evil, Episode 2!
Previous Episode || Next Episode
bro this body really dragged everyone out there. all our side characters are here.
"there's mud everywhere" my guy youre in a field what do you expect
"could it be a pervert obsessed with feet?" that doesnt narrow down the list that much in this day and age...
Lee Dongsik was sexy in his 20s 30s and 40s not every man can pull that off. Lee Dongsik the man you are
oh and he's here too (Juwon)
Dongsik is also a little shit and i love him for that.
“Do you like me that much?” Houston I’m deceased.
HE DIDNT SAY NO
Man we get flirting in Episode Two damn we get fed well as a community.
“Isnt she your sister, Lee Yuyeon?” LIARRRR
“The recording room isn’t your bedroom.” As in both of theirs? Because I have read the fics 👀
How warm is the recording room is my question. Because if its like my bedroom then shits freezing
I have said this once and will say it again lee Dongsik is a sexy mf
“I got lured?” Juwons face pls he is so confused.
THE SCORE AND SOUNDS GOD PROPS TO THE MUSIC PPL
Juwons disgust is so amusing.
Bro it must suck to be talked about when you are right here.
Part of me is curious as to how Dongsik went from Lee Dohyun Dongsik to Shin Hakyun Dongsik. Like we get hints in flashbacks but not much more.
We act like Juwon had this sudden shift in how he reacts to Dongsik after his Busan trip but it was there the whole time just a lot more subtle.
Juwon looking at dirt is me looking at Jinmuk. Fricken gross.
“Touch it (my phone) again and your fingers will…” shit man
Also unpopular opinion incoming: not the biggest fan of minjeong. Shes tragic and interesting enough but she is also the type of person I would avoid being friends with
We dont give Jeongje enough credit for him standing up to his mother passive aggressively.
THE FIRST RAIN SCENE ITS HERE
All good things happen in the rain in this show and I stand by that.
This one melts my heart (and Juwon’s too)
He just stares at Dongsik smiling… perhaps he cant be all that bad hey Juwon.
HAN KIHWAN GTF OUT OF HERE
Also juwon can I have that jumper pls? At least tell me where u got it (that blue one he wore with the stripes on his arm).
Juwon in casual clothing is smth we dont see enough of especially at the start of the show
Juwon proving he is just as insane as Dongsik in this scene but also just as driven about solving what really happened. Two sides of the same coin.
Also we do not give the camera ppl enough credit either the way they shoot the scenes is incredible and rlly captures both the character and their thoughts/feelings as well as their situation and vibes of the scene.
“I don’t like solving riddles” juwon aint that ur job…?
Tiny hc: jeongje learnt some english words and slips them into his conversations to add fuel to his lie of ‘studying in america’
“There isnt a single cop in the country wjk would prioritise such a case.” Jeongje says to Juwon, who is prioritising such a case.
Juwon nearly losing his cool is so interesting and important to me.
Juwon doesnt fuck with people telling him to stay quiet thats for sure.
Ok so Dongsiks mum sees Dongsiks dad frozen to death and calls him 동식(이?) 아버지 (Dongsiks dad). like imagine u mother calls ur dad "(your name)'s dad!" is this a thing in korea or a script choice?
Tfw you hear the tragic backstory of ur suspect/future bf
part of me thinks dongsiks limp/leg injury might be psychosomatic, at least a little bit.
jihwas contact name for dongsik being 똥식 is so funny. (동 is how its supposed to be 똥, pronounced only slightly differently means shit/poop)
Underrated friendship Jaeyi and Jihoon moment.
God I hate clubs sm (I have been and ended up stressed depressed and just on the verge of tears by the end of it and I was dead sober)
Dongsik is in protective dad mode and he stands for womens rights (and probably womens wrongs) and i love that.
I am aware that this episode 2 notes is mostly just me loving Dongsik.
Everyone beind done with minjeon is also me.
"Dongsik I wasnt cheating on you..." girl youre giving Juwon the wrong ideas. also dongsik would deserve better than you anyway
Juwon rn "this girl is insane... idk what i expected because this is manyang but she rlly is and I am not dealing with it"
Juwon not being a physical touch person and valuing personal space a lot and Dongsik being an exception is everything to me.
also underrated duo moment of Juwon and Jihoon
Honestly Juwon Jaeyi Jihoon friendship trio should be a thing in fics
Actually Dongsik isnt that much shorter than Juwon... huh...
The shot where they are both looking down... I should use that as my laptop wallpaper tbh
Minjeongs death sequence gives me the chills every time.
Them talking about the death body and Jinmuk being in the shade in the background with Jaeyi... means smth but im not smart enough yet.
Dongsiks case wall for Yuyeon in his basement genuinely makes me cry knowing the truth about it
'hey bitch 😏' is the energy we have rn
Bro cannot control his emotions well around Dongsik
“Let me give you a thorough tour of our jurisdiction” is Dongsik code for, ‘follow me I need to show you something’
I remember this scene being the netflix preview (the one where juwon states that he wants to move to manyang) for beyond evil and I remember thinking… what a shit scene to preview to convince ppl to watch the show. However… I think otherwise because…
“Just what about me interests you so much? I don’t think it’s that I’m a cop. Perhaps that I’m a suspect?”
“Let me ask you. Just what about me interests you so much? You obviously seem to be dying to know what I was up to at Foreign Affairs.”
THAT PART IS CONVINCING ASF HELLO
And then… pain.
Juwon hesitating and genuinely looking torn deciding what to do. Does he call it in or… what? Comfort Dongsik? Probably considered how he reacts upon hearing Dongsik start to cry before realising why. His entire face screams “I’m so sorry…”
And Dongsik oh my god. Even though we know he put them there I think this is the first time he properly grieved it, even if only a little.
He probably did it to bust the case back open again so he and the vicitims can get justice.
And fin. See you next ep!

my opinion on which Bad Batcher (+ Cody and Rex) would have which motorcycle for a modern-ish AU (It's like.. if our world was in the universe of SW but with the rules of SW if that makes sense) I'm working on and just in general to practice characterization hehe
headcanons included ofc!
sadly couldn't add Echo cause uhm... well he still has a scomp link arm 💀
Hunter:
Yamaha MT-09
or
Indian Bobber Scout 60
Not too speedy and not too slow
Great for small road trips
Not much of a racer
Safest rider out of them all
Does have a mischievous side where he wants to race or go faster on curves sometimes
Doesn't mind either rides alone or with his brothers
The responsible one
Crosshair:
Kawasaki Ninja H2
I'm fast asf boiiii
The half reckless half serious one
Like he's reckless but only when he can be safely
The H2 has a very powerful and reactive engine, making it a little difficult to control and requires some skill to do so which I think Cross would find pride in
It's all about ego bois
He loves small roads with a lot of curves
Mostly out with Tech and races with him
The bike looks aggressive and powerful, not like Cross does physically LOLOLOL
Has the most experience in riding bikes out of all of them
Goes zoom whenever he feels like it
His bros call those the "Cross zoomies"
The kill-switch and run master
Tech:
Triumph Street Triple 1200 RS
I forgot that bro is a pilot
That bike can allow him to be as experimental as he wants to
Yes he willingly races Cross
And if he lost... no he didn't
Holds the record for the most heart attacks given to Hunter in the span of 1 minute
He knows he can get himself out of tricky situations faster than the average can so he allows himself to be more reckless than the others
The one who forgets he can go ride out alone or doesn't see the point in it so he has to wait until Cross asks him to go for a ride
Loves to customize his bike, be it just appearance or performance speaking
Wrecker:
Ducati Monster 821
The only one besides Hunter who is allowed to have Omega on his passenger seat
Listens to Hunter when he tells him he shouldn't try to follow Tech or Cross (bless him)
Sometimes he gets the pass to just go wild but only when the roads are empty
Omega likes to ride with Wrecker because He's more exciting than Hunter but not as reckless as the 2 other dumbasses
Whenever they're all out on a ride, Hunter is grateful Wrecker is there
Also Wrecker is the one who manages to convince Hunter into a small race even if it's just the smallest
Rex:
YAMAHA YZF R6
Still fast as fuq bOIIII
Nah man the r6 is the perfect bike for the shenanigans Rex would do with the other bois of the 501st
He just screams r6 idk why like I looked at his pictures and instantly went "r6"
.... ok maybe it's the colour-
Cody:
Yamaha MT-07
Another MT??
Yes, MT's are notorious
Cody doesn't need much so that Yamaha is perfect
Probably switched to an MT-10 to be able to keep up with the others (Rex, Tech, Crosshair and Fives) and to be more comfortable riding in general
The supervisor(tm)
Helps Hunter keep sane
Pretty chill rider, sometimes follows the others in their shenanigans if convinced long enough
I can't add the pictures of the bikes I'm SADDDD
what do you guys think abt this tho?? I'd love feedback bc I can't tell if I'm characterising them wrong or not
and like ik most people dont care abt bikes at all or have only seen the dark side of it which.. yeah that's 100% valid 😭
also yes, as an x reader they will have you on the back 😋
or even maybe ride next to them to hold your hand 👀

The Tortured Poets Department Track Predictions
Side C
Guilty as Sin? 4:14 (Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff)
The question mark is throwing me off, but making me excited. All her songs with question marks slap (and a lot of her songs about questions (out of the woods, question, the 1, is it over now etc) are about harry styles--not that I think its about him, just pointing it out). Guilty as sin basically means very guilty. so... 'very guilty?' But is she guilty? is someone else guilty? I'd say it kinda gives scooter braun and scott borchetta but I dont know if songs about them would make it to the album. If they would, this song could be a possibillity, considering what taylor said in vigilante shit. Otherwise, i dont know what taylor could be guilty of, and why she's questioning whether she is guilty. Maybe she's guilty of wanting to leave/thinking about other people or past relationships while with joe? like in question and the 1? Is joe guilty of not loving her enough, and she's questioning whether he's actually a great partner and she's overreacting/bringing past relationship trauma into this one? If so, its giving the great war, maybe its me and my blind optimism to blame. Either an upbeat banger like hits different, or a slow, downtempo, crying song. Either way, it probably has sad, sad lyrics.
If there were ever a song on the record about someone other than joe or taylor, this would be it. Earlier I entertained the idea of it being about scott and scooter, but I've seen people say matty healy. if there was going to be a matty song on the album, I concur with the rest of the taylor nation that this would be it. I don't have much to say about it other than that. i said upbeat banger or slow, downtempo crying song. i don't think it will be either. It's kinda giving midtempo, also the colour green for some reason. like a slightly blue-ish green. do with that what you will. i have no fucking clue. This song could also be about cheating. just putting it out there.
Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? 5:34 (Taylor Swift)
It's going to be a gag. Kinda giving mad woman, kinda giving blank space. Funny.
Okay, so i was thinking something upbeat, but now that we have the track length and writing credits.... i still think that it would be a gag, and extremely cutting, but I also think that it will be devastating. A self-depricating, "who could ever leave me darling, but who could stay?' kind of thing.
I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) 2:36 (Taylor Swift and Jack Antonoff)
No you can't, girl. Eventually (hopefully) she figures that out by the end. A bop. For some reason the title is making me think of chappell roan. I don't know what to do with that information though...
Track length and writing credits only supports my theory. the biggest banger on the album. mark my words. Kinda regretting not claiming this, but it's too late. i thought, no I wont, its not going to gag the way we think it will. but now.. I'm thinking it actually will gag the way we think it will. But I can't change now, I made my claims the day the tracklist was announced, and it feels wrong to claim another the day before the album is released. But just know, I believe in my heart that this song will be one of my favourites in the album.
***loml 4:37 (Taylor Swift and Aaron Dessner)
I am claiming this one because Harry Styles. It's not going to be about him, but still. If it stands for love of my life then there are a few options I see: she thought Joe was the love of her life, but slowly found out he wasn't all that she thought he was re you're losing me; she is the love of his life but he's not the love of hers, she can do better, she doesn't need him but he needs her, does it make you feel sad that the love that youre looking for is the love that you had, generally i bet you think about me; maybe songwriting, the drama/performance/attention/fans, guitar, idk, is the love of her life -- something that isn't a person. But it might not stand for love of my life. Maybe she is using that acronym to make people think that it stands for love of my life, and it will end up standing for something completely different. My guess is that it will be the opposite of 'love of my life', but i couldn't think of anything good that would fit the letters. I have faith that taylor could though, easily. My guess is that the song feels like august, maybe little freak by harry styles.
Knowing now that its co-written by aaron and is 4:37, I believe even more strongly that it will be little freak/august-esque. maybe more daylight by harry styles-y, but that's a similar vibe anyway. I do not think it will be a stand-out on the record, but I also don't think it will be the worst. I don't think it will be a favourite of mine, and I don't think it would be a track I revisit a lot. i am claiming it for to reasons and two reasons only: (1) I love harry styles. Taylor can relate (2) I just wanna know! its so mysterious, what the fuck is she talking about? what does loml stand for? i am sitting here, foaming at the mouth, counting down the seconds until this album comes out so that I can just know !!!
Look at me making shit up and telling lies. if only I could write this extensively about things that actually matter.

expressing my take on dream is how i finally get cancelled but tbh im ready.
so i just watched the moistcritical video on whatever bullshit happened on twitter regarding him.
i wanna establish that im not exactly a dream fan. i dont watch videos of his or really anyone from that part of youtube. i dont think hes that great of a person necessarily.
also, i want to establish that i am an idiot 18yo boy. ight? im not some kind of expert on this shit. its literally just my take. its an opinion. and im putting it on the internet. as people tend to do.
okay. recap. dream allegedly sent snapchat videos of him moaning to a minor. there is zero proof that the video was from him, and zero proof that it was sent to a minor. then the fight between dream and gumballva. oh my god. guys. god i cant even with this bit. alright alright ill get to it
im gonna completely fuckin disregard the snapchat thing. theres absolutely no proof. innocent until proven guilty, as it goes.
about the fight between dream and gbva. holy shit stop taking sides. both of these men are immature man babies whos fame got to their head. "it was a physical fight!!!!!!" believe it or not, drunk slapfights happen sometimes. just because the fight was between two famous guys doesnt make it any more important or significant.
gbva was referring to himself as Michelangelo. he was saying how dream is "miniscule compared to him" like the worlds most pathetic dick measuring competition. he mentioned his "intellectual stature" guys. my friend told me about how the gumball va TOTALLY BURNED DREAM and DESTROYED HIM so i had high expectations. but no. the guys just stroking his own ego and shittalking some other guy, and people are hype about it because the other guy is dream and OOOOOOO DREAM BAD GUYS.... and because gumball is pretty well loved as a show. he called dream a slur. like on one hand, it is INSANE to me that a famous guy called someone a slur and twitter cheered. on the other hand its actually not that big a deal. yes, slurs and homophobia are a big deal. but let me reiterate that this is literally just two drunk dudes trying to roast each other and failing miserably. a slur isnt going to end the world. like it isnt cool that he said it, he shouldnt have said it, but honestly what the fuck ever. people are being killed in mass rn and this is what we're arguing about and im part of the problem so WAHOO.
and then theres the fact that dream recorded it. guys its not that fucking weird. im sorry to burst your bubble but recording arguments or recording when someone is aggressive towards you isnt abnormal. was it a little bit dramatic and incredibly childish to post it on twitter? yeah!!! duh!!! this is dream we're talking about. dramatic. childish. but the thing is, and hear me out, hes allowed to do that. insane as it may be, humans are allowed to be dramatic and childish. humans are allowed to brag about their "intellectual stature" in a cab after a night out. humans are allowed to be flawed. no, i dont think he was recording it due to feeling unsafe. i do in fact believe he was recording it to start drama. i believe whole heartedly that dream recorded the argument hoping his teenaged fanbase would run to his rescue. and you know what? who gives a shit!! are you actually surprised? are you REALLY? because dream very obviously has something wrong in his head. im not saying that the shit he does is okay because of it. but i want everyone reading this right now to imagine how you would realistically cope if you suddenly became famous during the fucking plague at the ripe ass age of 21 in the span of a month and then spent the next 3 years being either worshipped by children in mass or brutally harassed by literally the entire world. because believe it or not, 21 year olds are immature and are not normally equipped to deal with a situation like that. its entirely possible that dream already had issues, and its also entirely possible that he FORMED issues in the past 3 years due to the intense stress of his situation. dream is fucked up. dream has issues.
but listen to me. as far as we know, dream is not a pedophile or a murderer or a racist or a homophobe or any of that shit. sure, hes awful at babysitting each and every one of his bajillion preteen fans, but thats kinda not his fucking responsibility??? if a kid is going around doing awful shit in the name of some guy, blame the kids parents. its their job to teach their kid how to act online and around other people. and sure, dream is very very likely a narcissist and seems to be incapable of criticism and needs attention constantly or else he keels over like a scared gerbil and dies. hes kind of a shitty fuckin guy!! BUT GUESS. WHAT. so is like 70% of the population!!!! most of us are fucking awful!!
i know i cant change shit, i know id get bodied by even a single dream anti. i just wish people would stop giving him attention, leave him the fuck alone, and let him get therapy or spend a year in the woods or smoke some fucking weed idk.
seeing the reaction people have to literally just some schmuck makes me TERRIFIED of putting myself out there. can we all just accept that everyone is flawed and sometimes good people have shitty takes or do shitty things. if you had the same exposure to the world that dream did, how quickly would YOU get cancelled? im just. im fucking begging you to look at this guy (and other equally underwhelming schmucks) with a critical mind and context to why you may see them the way you do.
im not tagging this shit i dont hate myself that much. i dont mind if no one reads this i just wanna rant. just leave the guy be.

Some decepticon x reader headcannons i thought up kinda random (tfp)
Soundwave
- Soundwave is a rather busy dude so hanging out with him is rare. You’d either have to be with him while he works or catching him on his very few breaks.
-And to top it off he has that silence. Whether you find it attractive (i do cough cough) or a roadbump you have to kind of work off body language or vibes.
-I had this funny idea that if he was ever stressed (y/n) would pet the spikes on Soundwaves back untill they go down, like a cat. Idk im tired.
-Assuming (y/n) is a decepticon they probably spend a lot of their time not so subtly walking around to see if Soundwave is on break. Everyone sees it, your not secretive.
Megatron
- Aight this guy, this warlord, he is by no means a softie. Hes as tough as they come. So being around him is not for the faint of heart obviously .. faint of spark?
-he doesn’t understand nor take jokes, example:
“Knock knock”
“(Y/n) your about to die please take this seriously”
-being around him let his guard down, which is not useful in fights. How you may ask? He yells at decepticons a lot and doesn’t wanna make that mistake with you, awwww.
-he tries to avoid putting you in dangerous battles. Or battles in general. I know i said hes not a big softie and this seems like a big softie move. But like idk. It just feels like something he would do lmao.
Knockout
-👏shares👏gossip👏anytime👏anywhere
-the only one you can trust to talk bad to. As in if you say anything to anyone else (maybe except Starscream) they can use it against you. But you and knockout both do it so if your going down hes following.
-you probably get mad at Shockwave for being a bossy nerd to knockout, then get ur ahh kicked and then spend more time with knockout in the medbay.
-you both go street racing, or he does you watch. No say in the matter. You also record it if you are watching him.
Starscream
I know i said i hated starscreams guts and would never write for him and all but ima do something short for y’all Starscream fans.))
-sometimes when Megatron beats him up and knockout is fixing him he will get mad and request (y/n)
-You probably say to him stuff like “this whole ordeal is toxic you should run away with me” or something like that.
Shockwave
So i dont pay a lot of attention to his character im so sorry if i get something wrong))
-When he was harpooned on cybertron i assume you were still on the ship. Maybe you took up space bridge science or something to see if you can get him back.
-when he does get back he finds that you were bossing starscream and knockout for him. How sweet
-Anything you say is logical. Even if its wrong.
“The earth is flat”
“Your argument.. is logical..”
-You may have been on knock outs retrieval team when they found him. You were the first to greet him. You didn’t let anyone talk to him but you at first.
Predaking
Aww the skrunkly!))
-Hes a big cuddly guy, DONT tell me otherwise.
-you were fond of him from the moment he was made. You wrote down his birth day so you could celebrate it. Most bots dont do that i think.
-You usually talk for him when hes a dragon and all. Say if Starscream was abusing him (booo) you would say like “i got this covered Starscream go snort some rust.”
-when he does reveal to be able to transform. You automatically feel good about taking his side because holy moly is he stronk.
-if you cant fly he carries you around. Preferably at sunset.
Hhhhhh i think thats everyone- requests are open by the way, ima go write a crossover thing now- 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

So you can either ignore this whole ask or only answer certain aspects because I totally get if you don't want to.
While you were gone/your inbox was closed, there were ofc (as always) a lot of things happening in the fandom and there aren't many blogs line you that have constructive criticism (someone who can criticise taylor when it's due but not blame her for unnecessary things) so all the blogs and in general everywhere I was on (tiktok, twitter, etc) was either completely babygirling taylor for her actions or hating her for every single breath she was taking. So I have some following things that happened in the last two weeks and if you'd like to, I'd love to hear your honest opinion on them and if you think criticising taylor for these things is valid.
1. "Taylor is a mean girl because she dragged Lana on the stage when she won aoty and made fun of her since she was nominated in the same category."
2. Taylor's gonna bash/drag the hell out of Joe in the new album. It's unfair when she names songs like 'So long London' when he was there for her when the whole world hated her."
3. "Taylor (apparently) smoking at the superbowl after party in the club while she knew people were recording her is so irresponsible and she's such a bad role model for young girls when she smokes in public"
Please don't feel pressured to reply to all of these and if it makes you uncomfortable, dont reply at all :) Love you <3
I think this is fine to answer because tbh i think all of this is pointless and has no merit.
it bothers me more that taylor is friends with lana, who's a zionist and racist (also other things), and actively praised her during her speech. i feel like that's the issue people should've focused on.
Taylor has every right to write about her life and going through a breakup of a 6+ year relationship is hard for anyone, so of course she's gonna cope with it the way she knows best which is through writing. the real issue is how the fans act/react to it. they act like her emotions are just 'tea' and that they should fight anyone who does her wrong, just overall being incredibly immature and disrespecting her art and craft. it's one thing to listen to the album (what we assume it'll cover topic-wise) and be like 'oh this is why the relationship ended, this is how she felt at certain moments and im sure he also has his side', that's healthy and mature... it's another thing to be like 'he never valued her, he was terrible, joe is a terrible person i cant believe him she's so innocent and hurt' and that's the way it's probably gonna go, just immature mindsets, making blind and harmful assumptions, infantilizing her and her role in the breakup, diminishing her songwriting to map out a relationship no one truly knows about, and never actually will. they disguise their behavior as analyzing her art when in reality they're just analyzing gossip and reducing her art to feed their parasocial behavior.
she's a grown woman who can do as she pleases, there are way more important things to be angry about, from her own actions that are actually serious to just around the world.

HEY about your fhs au...... i hope you don't mind me asking nd also uhh i don't know if you would've prefered this ask on your other account but too late it's already here. is there a reason owynn's eyes are different sizes? is it something animal related or maybe incident related or does he just look like that because it looks cool as fuck?
Hello :D!!!!!!! Asks are fine on this blog dont worry! I also get its confusing that i have 2 accounts dw :,3 for the record i don't mind asks anywhere! Everyone is welcome to ask me anything anywhere, wether you are guaranteed a comprehensible response is another can of worms lol
To answer your question: the answer is a bit animal related, a bit of a rule of cool as fuck and a dash of the good old projection!!!
I have a LOT of eye issues that have required a ton of surgeries and dumb stuff and overall i just have a very shitty vision by my eyes being weird and unfixable, and then i also need glasses in the normal people astigmatism way so its a double hit! I wanted to give that to Owynn too in some capacity, and we played around a lil with how to do it.
First of all I'd like to present you with this, arthropods in our au all have really very noticeable eyes, we made it sort of an unspoken social rule for them to have to cover them since they look sorta freaky, which ties back to both cami and Loon having hair over their eyes!
Tumblr media
Here I humbly present three of my creatures (vincent cami and loon) ((vincent is owynns brother)) who are not owynn just to set a reference to what arthropod eyes are normally like; as you can see they either got the full complete eye of a solid color (any eye color that you can normally get or just straight up black/white) and cami who is an interesting outlier I will explain in a bit! In general a lot of insects have this fun thing called "compound eyes", scorpions, which arent insects but arachnids, have "simple eyes" which insects also have but as extra help instead of their straight up eye. Since i don't want to doom every single scorpion person in this world to have the worlds worst sight I opted to also gave them the principle of compound eyes, and we represent the simple eyes other insects have with little spots on the skin, thats what the thing on camis forehead is :3 (i promise this is kinda important)
Cami does have compound eyes like all arthropods, but you might say "dawg i see her pupils right there" and thats where you are wrong! Mantis have this cool thing where they always look like their "pupils" are following you but its just an illussion. So she's kind of a nightmare without her hair covering her eyes because woups it just looks like shes permanently looking at you. Forever. thats awesome. Social rule of covering ur eyes with hair makes a little more sense now
So where does owynn fit on all of this, well, when i asked myself "how do i give someone with a billion of eyes an inherent eye problem that isn't fixable solely with glasses" i came up with: His eyes are shrinking
Tumblr media
He still has heterochromia in the normal way, and his eyes shrinking is due to light sensitivity, the blue side is way more pigmented than the green one like its shown in that little grayscale thing, and because of that the green eye is MUCH more light sensitive and therefore way smaller, his glasses help him a lil with the whole light issue, but as a kid he just didn't wear them at all, which is why it got worse and worse and worse to where he is now, most people also assume he has ONE weird eye instead of two, because like I mentioned, arthropod eyes can be normal eye colors, OR straight up black/white. So since his green eye is so bright it blends a lot with the white part of his eye and people just think his eye is a flat white color and that the blue one is the weird part, once you get close to him you can actually realize how he has a way bigger issue on his green eye ^^
So he has normal eye problems that can be fixed with a prescription, and inherent eye problems that glasses can't fix! that being his green eye having seeing almost nothing, and losing a bit of range of sight on his blue one. the problem is mostly the green one ngl

We know Marc developed DID when he was around 8 (I believe that's how old he is in the flashbacks as a child). But I do really want to know when he was officially diagnosed. Like did Elias take him to see a psychologist as a child like in the comics where he was diagnosed or did he find out later? I really want to know how long he's known he has DID
ok disclaimer from post-writing me. i kind of typed a lot more than i thought i would. it is very stream of consciousness oh my god. also i do not have DID so any information comes from my own personal research and is not reflective of every experience. i will HAPPILY be corrected if anything ive said is harmful/incorrect. also if any of my timeline stuff is wrong!
oh my god when i say i was literally just having this exact thought anon PLEASE get out of my head
because ok
like you said, comics, we already know. but mcu, we dont get aaaaany indicators of when he found out iirc i think partially as a result of marvel's refusal to name it in the show but w/e
and its really setting me on an interesting path of thinking about marc going through most of his life like we see steven in episode 1. just kind of living his life, but with occasional blackouts that leave him somewhere he doesn't recognise having done something he doesn't remember. maybe even rationalising it to himself as a sleeping disorder like steven does.
like, the closest i could think of him finding out would be around 10 probs, if his dad takes him to a psychologist like in the comics (which side note, was so fucking well integrated and didnt feel stupid or forced literally marvel you could have just done this) or latest? honestly after his mom's death? like that event perpetuates a lot of things. and maybe the fact that he finds himself blacking out more and more prompts him to seek a diagnosis (even if he wasnt looking for a did diagnosis specifically).
mmm but then who was steven calling. i always assumed marc set up a number to call.
but then theres also khonshu saying his mind is broken or w/e and marc doesnt give an indication of either "wtf how did you know" or "wtf what are you talking about". and then theres marc saying he made the deal to "save us". but that might have been an after the fact realisation.
HONESTLY MAYBE HE ONLY FINDS OUT CAUSE KHONSHU IS MESSING AROUND IN THERE. khonshu finds this funny british guy bouncing around in his head and hes like "omg marc check this out" and marc has a whole existential crisis about it. so when khonshu finds ANOTHER guy in there hes like "yk im just gonna. keep quiet about this one" and silently feeds him snacks on the side.
cause he also doesnt mention getting booted from the army for a botched psych eval iirc!!! cant lie in an evaluation if you dont know what you have. maybe getting kicked out for the dissociative fugue state incident is what motivates him to get a diagnosis. maybe its mandated after the event. idk enough about military protocol to speak on that.
all is to say marc is definitely aware To Some Degree of what is going on with him, he just probably doesnt have a name for it. which is like. fine. diagnosis is helpful but its not the be all and end all of experience.
i think in any of these scenarios, at least when he was younger it was a lot easier to understand as an "imaginary friends" situation and maybe that faded as he grew up maybe it didnt IDK.
ok so tldr
situations where he would have gotten some kind of diagnosis that would be the most interest story-wise IMO
young, around 8-10 - follows the comics completely, has him spend most of his early life some degree of institutionalised (would explain his mental association with mental hospitals)
post military discharge - pretty big point in his backstory, would work to really solidify the shame he feels around his mental illness (being very public and on record and all that) and would make sense as there would probably be some kind of investigation into the incident that would lead to a diagnosis
post-steven's reappearance - would be the culmination of a Lot of things happening in his life to the point that even stubborn marc spector can't cope and seeks out help. would explain why layla didnt know as i personally believe he cuts contact with her after his mom's shiva. does bring into question a lot of the more solid aspects of steven's life tho, like the phone calls.
crack versions that make me laugh
khonshu just drops the bomb on marc one day and it fucks him up so severely that he never brings it up again

Do you mind if I get an opinion on an ex? She keeps coming back into my life to be friends. She says it is all she wants. When we were together, it was not under admirable or respectable circumstances. It was wrong, to say the least. After all of that, she still ended up with someone else. Leaving me in the wreckage of shitty decisions and feelings of worthlessness. Anyways, I have turned her away multiple times, but she keeps coming back. Its been over a year since we were actually together. The reason I am having a hard time with being friends is because I did not/have not dated during this time. I have not even seriously entertained the idea. In other words, I was not fully over her and her continuing to come back into my life was not helping, because Id try to be friends and then ultimately decide against it either because I learn more of how she lied to me or more recently bc I know how I feel about her. Even after everything. Im shit at turning her away and she is good at pulling at my heart strings. Most recently, when I told her I didnt think being friends will work out for us, she says I can leave because I keep saying her friendship isnt good enough. This is frustrsting, because my instinct is to say that isnt true and remain her friend even while knowing it will hurt me and I will not be happy, but the thing is, I feel like she knows this. I feel like she is choosing to say it with the hope it works well enough to get me to stay. I have expressed on multiple occassions that I dont feel we can be friends so she will disappear then come back with the same suggestion. Saying she needs a friend and misses me and etc. etc. Im just upset bc it does not feel nice to be framed as a guy that does not want to be her friend because her friendship isnt enough. I would have loved to be her friend, the first time around, when I first met her. Before everything turned out the way it did. I just dont think friends is something we can get back to and unfortunately I still have feelings. These feelings make me put my health on the back burner. These feelings have a proven track record of making me make the worst decisons for myself. A lot of crying. Too much crying. For one lifetime. I care about her. I love her. I always will, but I just dont believe friendship can work for us. Even if she said she wanted to try again, I would be happy, but know deep down that it wouldnt be likely to work. I just wish she would let me go. Let me move on. Because I will always care. And she doesnt seem to want to stop using it against me. Should I just ignore her the next time she looks for me? I dont want to hurt her or for her to hurt herself, but I matter too here. And I cant live my life putting everything I feel to the side just to prioritize my friendship with her. I want to move on. I want to be happy without feeling guilty or unloved.
Actually you should block her cause it sounds like you have tried to establish a boundary several times and that she has repeatedly disregarded that just to continue to pressure you to sacrifice your own needs for hers and that's not okay! It's time to end this pattern and since she's not respecting your boundaries, that will be on you
