Big Mama must have lost some serious standing in the yokai underworld because it’s gotten apparent that she keeps being beaten by a small group of teenagers and the occasional rat man, and when it’s not them then she’s taking L’s from her own schemes working against her.

And in the ensuing power vacuum, the Hamatos accidentally become the most feared crime family known to all the big bads of the Hidden City.

After all, they’ve publicly outplayed Big Mama multiple times, a couple of them have taken out the heads of two of the most well known criminal organizations, one took out Heinous Green, two are responsible for the destruction of Witch Town, they have ties to both the infamous Baron Draxum and Captain Piel, they won the Doom Dome death race, they’re Battle Nexus Champions, they’ve displayed insane feats of power and defeated impossibly strong enemies, most of them have been to jail, and they regularly mingle with humans.

You can just imagine the notoriety they’d accumulate from word of mouth alone.

#rottmnt #rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles #rottmnt headcanons #rise of the tmnt #I didn’t even list everything the Hamatos are MENACES #it’s so funny #bonus if none of the Hamatos realize how terrifying their presence in the Hidden City has become #every time Leo goes to bother Hueso the guy just has his head in his hands like Pepino…I JUST got my brother out of crime…and now you???’ #Leo’s just like ‘lmao what crime’ #meanwhile a trail of destruction follows them wherever they go #just look at the library smh #the small time yokai villains hearing about how scary the fam is and having two different reactions #one being no way are we talking about the same babies tripping over themselves and barely beating anyone #the other is oh god I barely escaped with my LIFE huh #sunita listening to all the worry her parents have about this new ‘Hamato Family’ and laughing inside #she tells April and April keeps it a secret to see how long it takes the others to realize it #when accused of crime Donnie accidentally and largely unprompted starts denying his digital asset thefts and then has to deny he denied it #when he learns of what is thought of them Raph has a crisis the poor boy #Mikey’s happy they’re ‘known for being a family!:)’ #he - kinda terrifyingly - kinda likes the thought of that lol #Leo: 🤔 think I could go back to that hair spa then?

Feeding the beast once more because you're on a roll with pairings (and these two have been on my mind since I've gotten into the fandom, shhhh) :)))

Too old for this shit (spiritually). Obsessed with Lupin (literally). Hats. They're definitely a rarepair, but not the rarest (props to any zenigoe shippers, lol). So, thoughts on Jigen x Zenigata? I feel like they've got a lot of potential despite not interacting all that much, platonic or otherwise.

this one has always intrigued me because the very few times where they do interact directly its just. so funny. they have such a funny dynamic that i want explored so much more. also funnily enough the next ask after this one is zenigata and goemon so!! isn’t that a cute little perfect triangle of asks!!

i used to joke with my friends (IN A PRE-LUPIN ZERO WORLD) that jigen could very well have been older than zenigata and lupin was just fucking with zeni by insisting he was the old man. not really related to anything but it’s always so funny to me. but like you said spiritually at least, jigen is significantly over the hill, and it’s hilarious that in this case the ACTUAL older guy is the one with twice the energy

i think, honestly, like with all of the gang proper, zenigata would be shocked by how much he has in common with him. it’d take forever and a day to get there but when they GOT there he’d be like “wait you also think ketchup on eggs sounds gross when you say it out loud and yet not that bad of a flavor combination in theory but you’re too lazy to actually try it?” and there’s this weighted pause before jigen kinda shrugs like “Yeah.” and zenigata goes “Damn…” 

the size difference is so funny because it means zenigata COULD just sling jigen over his shoulder but would never out of fear of retribution. like yeah you can pick up this little pomeranian but look at those eyes do you trust that thing to not lunge for you when it’s at face value?? if he ever has to do it he just repeats “sorry sorry sorry” under his breath the whole time until theyre out of range but really i think jigen is pretty ok with not dying. and also with being scooped like that lmaooo you see the way that guys ex-boyfriends are built?!!?!1!?

they would be absolutely terrifyingly effective working together because they would actually listen to each other, and neither would really be fighting to “lead” the attack. but on the other hand the contrast between the one who looks like he’s putting every single muscle in his body focused on this one minute task vs the guy who looks completely effortless doing some crazy shit like untying alexander’s knot or what the fuck ever is kind of funny. AND LEAVES YOU UNDERESTIMATING THEM LEAVING YOU OPEN FOR A TAG TEAM ATTACK WHUPOW!!

guy who takes up whole couch watching tv + guy who unironically does the tv dad stand = finally the world is in fucking balance

#what uh. what is their ship name again. i wanted to type jizeni but then i was like ew that sounds gross! that can't be it but #the general sense of humor of the lupin fandom makes me think that's EXACTLY why it would be called that #lupin iii #lupin the third #jigen #zenigata #jigzeni #asks

LATE NIGHT THOUGHTS WITH MISSY!!!1!1!1!1!1!

this is about atsv and just the spiderverse in general cause I just love it sm BUT ANYWAYS!!!!!

has anyone ever realized just how like CREEPY the concept of the spiderverse is? like if I was in a room where it was different versions of me, who have lived different lives and made different decisions along with its consequences, I’d be freaking tf out 😭😭😭 especially when miguel brings up the canon event theory and how in the end spiderman looses SOMEONE. it’s like the spiderperson is bound to suffer no matter what they do just because they got bit by a spider.

also what got me thinking about this and how existential it is was when in the comics of the spiderverse (idk which it was but I kinda remember what happened) pavitr was talking to another spiderman about how they’re all different variations of one person and aren’t completely unique or original. he even thought he didn’t do enough as spiderman and just felt like he wasn’t achieving as much as the others. which leads me to my other point as to how overwhelming it can be to be a spiderperson. like not only is it kinda unnerving knowing that there’s another you somewhere in the universe and also along with the fact that ur made for suffering, but there’s different spidermen and women who have probably done more than you and it just leave you like “oh wow im pretty fucking bad at this lol!”

and then along with atsv, it’s even creepier when you think that maybe, before miles, there were other spiderpeople who were against Miguel’s canon event theory. his theory barely makes sense but it also does??? but how can you even begin to use logic on the multiverse, which (in the wise words of dr strange) “we know terrifyingly little of.” like ik that Miguel’s universe is way more advanced than the others, but again the universe is constantly changing and expanding, which can cause new ways and concepts that we probably won’t be able to figure out for years. and what ended up happening to those spiderpeople who were against him?

ALSOOOO let’s talk about Pavitr’s dimension because JESUS CHRIST???? ITS LITERALLY GETTING SUCKED IN BY A BLACK HOLE (LIKE HOW OETER WARNED IN THE FIRST MOVIE) AND NOBODY IS WORRIED??? ALSO UHH CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT IN HIS EARTH’S ALCHEMAX, THEY WERE BUILDING A FUCKING COLLIDERRRRRRR?!(&3@2@2 LIKE WHO AUTHORIZED THAT?? was it mfin KINGPIN or did scientists feel a little silly and decided to build a whole ass machine that can create a rip in the fabric of space. AND THE FACT THAT IT ALSO WORKED TOO BRO…. LIKE UHMMM???

and then what’s gonna happen to pavitrs dimension bro 🤨 because I’m sure we’ve all seen that one picture from one of the artists giving a whole visual set to how the spiderverse net thing works. dimensions aren’t completely gone, but rather disconnected…. so what about gabi’s too 😭😭 it literally said that it was just snapped off, and spiders can always weave their webs back together. in the image we also show how pavitr’s isn’t completely unattached, but holding on by a few threads. would they end up finding a way to fix it???

also I’ve had this unrealistic theory lmao where they travel back in time and the entire story just resets!!!! it’s silly but tbh since we know time traveling is possible since Hobie’s universe is based in the 70s? im pretty sure AND GWEN TIME TRAVELED A WEEK WHEN SHE FIRST WENT TO MILES DIMENSION BRO. like maybe the way to fix things is if the collider never happened, because that was the root of the entire problem, right? idk man but it’s just there’s so many possibilities and i cannot fucking wait 😭😭😭

[science-lings]

idk if I'm going to ever write for it so I'm gonna put it here, my reborn Yatagarasu AU. I guess if I get a little encouragement I'll want to write it more but I have to get some thoughts out or I will explode.

It started because I thought Beanix and Kay should meet and do crimes together. I think they should fight corruption and be overly dramatic while annoying Edgeworth. I mean, think about it, in the first game, Phoenix's whole thing was exposing notorious blackmailers and corrupted officials and generally being unafraid of facing mob families when everyone else is kinda scared to take any action.

before the cut to so much rambling, I need to get one question out of the way so...

anyway, lore below, I just didn't want to put that under the cut where no one will read far enough to see it lol

That and he also has experience with eccentric thieves. Also, they're both named after mythical birds and named specifically to be silly with their dialogue ('Mr. Wright, right?' "Kay 'kay?'). I also just want a reason for them to pose as father and daughter and be able to pull it off perfectly.

Now for actual plot stuff, I am of the opinion that Phoenix has acquired some weird-ass skills that he uses in weird-ass ways, I mean in canon he has a talent for bluffing and he uses it to absolutely dominate at poker. So I'm thinking this guy, who hasn't risked his life in over a year, fresh out of leads to fight the case with his disbarment, needs enrichment. This comes in the form of Kay investigating him out of interest as his role of 'that man' and discovering that he's pretty neat actually. She looks at his case files and finds him silly enough to recruit for a new project.

The re-emergence of the Yatagarasu is directly correlated to the dark age of the law and the increasing corruption practically everywhere. The law makers and law keepers of Japalifornia ignore the truth for their own self interest and that is Not Good. Kay recruits Ema, who is interning at the police department and on her way to becoming a detective turned forensic investigator. She is also stem girl extraordinaire who wants to use her tech for good and not to help the police. Funded by Franziska (because the best use of Manfred's fuck you money is actively fighting the corruption he was a part of) the Yatagarasu plan to expose as much corporate and legal filth as possible. Because to build a new legal system, the other one must be destroyed a bit.

In comes Phoenix, who through past cases and his work at the Borsht Bowl, just happens to have a pretty good amount of criminal connections. He's inconspicuous, already kind of undercover, and he knows how to get people to talk. He's disillusioned with the law and settled into a character that requires him to convincingly act at all times. Also his daughter is a magician and I think it would be really funny for him to learn a little sleight of hand and how to use throwing knives only for him to turn around and use those skills for Crime.

In return for info and his help with the Yatagarasu project, Phoenix gets more assistance in his investigation into Kristoph, which makes it easier to keep him and Trucy safe. Also in this AU Kristoph is worse and more invasive and more willing to cause problems if he catches Phoenix learning too much. Every one of their shared dinners consists of Kris poisoning Phoenix's wine and them switching it until they're both confused and Phoenix ends up drinking it but survives anyway.

Another part of this AU that I would want to touch upon would be Phoenix's reputation outside of being a fallen famous lawyer. I think that his work getting multiple mob members, prosecutors, a police chief, and generally terrifyingly powerful people incarcerated would get him noticed by people. I like to think that he's trying his best to look pathetic and depressed but the whispers around him make him sound kind of terrifying and it's only because of that that he feels secure enough to take Trucy along with him to the bowl for poker matches. He also is trying to learn her perceiving power, which he can't do but he does get really good at silently communicating with Trucy to the point that they become a kind of terrifying duo.

I just... weird girl crime group (Maya is not allowed, she'll just get falsely accused of murder again)

#this is all just an elaborate plot to get Phoenix to pretend to be Kay's parent so they can commit fraud #it's already canon that phoenix only cares about the crime of murder #he thinks thievery is a fun crime just as long as no one gets died #his sister got her culturally and personally important urn stolen and he was like 'lol funney masked man' #he appreciates the theatrics of the filler cases #i mean seriously they're all at a tv studio and a circus and with a dramatic heist #he can appreciate a good performance #Yatagarasu Reborn AU #Fem!Phoenix AU #phoenix wright #ace attorney #kay faraday #ema skye #pwaa #i hope this made sense i kinda just put words here

SEASON 2 thoughts (spoilers)

When i binged and have lots of thoughts. I might write individual ep takes later. but

OMg lol so before i watched the show i thought I would be getting no soc scenes. ... but i got the opposite ... Idk AHHH I did like the new season a lot. Like I freaked out at all the content for kanej and all the scenes? from soc but altered (prison carriage but with jesper, kanej content, wesper, wylan being a complex character, wylan’s dyslexia revealed, how will you have me, THE BATHROOM SCENE. I feel fed. I also loved things... they ADDED.... like Kaz and NINA ACTING AS A COUPLE. BAHAHA . I can’t with kaz being not into it. That was great and then kaz panicking and inej getting his gloves. WOAH. kinda love it. Love the non-canon stuff they added. That’s pretty intense. LIKE INEJ CARRIED KAZ. Idk... role-reversal AHH. I feel like we don’t get such in moment in the books besides the prison carriage scene. And then kaz just curled up in fear and hugging his cane and INEJ being there. AHH. More this please. More hurt/comfort. Also ah just everything about the way Freddy and amita acted their scenes were perfect. It felt out of the books. It was insane.

ALSO FREDDY’s acting in general! He really got more in the script for him and he put his whole freddyussy into it. The panic attack. The fear. the love in his eyes. the rage. idk the panic attack sequence was so impressive to me. Because i’ve seen him fearful in other shows.. but that scene was terrifyingly good. You could see kaz battling it out to keep his feelings under wraps but he’s falling apart and ahh.  And Jesper yelling to stop the carriage. He cares about Kaz ahhhh and so kind fusjbshwhqh. Idk AHHHH I WANTED THIS SCENE SO BAD AND THEY GAVE IT INT HE FIRST FEW MINS OF THE EPISODE BARK BARK it was like my one wish for the season and it was granted.

But like lol I guess i had a realization... that like ... the soc canon stuff just sort of happened and didn’t reallly have an overarching reason or theme for why these things were happenig. It feels diff from season 1 where it was simple goal of tring to get alina. But this felt like...they were tryign to check off boxes in some ways and the plot was sidelined ... Idk is that too harsh?. Like the backstory of kaz was just...told and idk... I guess idk I was expecting some breakdown or kaz ... being like “I can’t touch” with jesper at least since Jesper witnessed kaz in the carriage...like some outcome of kaz being vulnerable in front of jesper. I guess what i’m trying to say ... it wasn’t as neat as it was in soc? same with kanej. I LOVED the scenes indivdually. But i feel like if i was watching the show from season 1 to season 2 without reading anything... i woudl be confused why kaz and inej are in love. They didn’t really have as much...lead up? or time? LIke ya jesper was in the carriage with kaz and jesper witnessed the pekka rollins scene. i don’t think it’s bad... in fact i love kaz and jesper together and i loved jesper was there to help him there... but like why can’t inej be there tooooo. LOll okay im being so picky here. I loved all teh scenes. AND it’s insane we got to see them. Honestly my love for the crows is honestly overshadowing this thought. I’m so insane for all the scenes with kanej.

lol maybe i wouldn’t have such conflicted opinons if I was told that... it would adapt soc and ck moments... LOL i had this expectation since season 1 from the writers that this was PRE-soc with no soc scenes. I’ve been conditioned to expect no content so it was so crazy when it happened. I shoudlnt’ have prepared myself for no content! I should have been expecting the soc/ck like I did 2 years ago hahah. Oh well.

BUT also... alternate opinion... did the moments in soc itself even have an overarching arc for why the backstory was revealed?? like maybe the source isn’t even like that... lolol.. maybe i hold it in too high regard. like i feel common opinion is that they messed up the soc plotline...cuz of this. but let me think.... like is... really pulling the kanej moments and backstory ... and pulling it out of soc context into sab2 that bad... if you think about it. Like thinking about where those moments were placed in teh ice court plot and ck... the kanej moments like the bathroom scene were more like... little moments of repreive from teh plot. It was something that was separate and could be taken out. Like do those little character revealing moments NEED to be in the ice court context? THey could be in other contexts besides the ice court context if that makes sense. Like when ...is it a good time to reveal that kaz was almost buried in a harbor. It will always come out of the blue lol. Like in some ways... i think it’s okay they’re taking it out of the soc context.

BUt like in terms of....the entire outcome of what they’ll write in season 3/soc season... i feel like the writers set up... a difficult problem lol.LIke what is SOC gonna beeee. LIke soc is about a group of teens that do an ice court heist and excitement is how each one has their backstories that are one by one slowly revealed alongside the heist and you realize they all have their own intentions and things spiral.  Like ... that’s it. like i don’t think it’s bad it’s in the tv show now.. But like... what kind of story wil lbe told in the next season then... like since we know mostly everthing about the characters.

But I actually do have a take that i believe learning kaz’s backstory is early is good thing for story. Kaz is sooo much more of an impactful character to follow when you know where he’s coming from. And why he is the way he is. So much more painful for the reader haha. But like..idk what him beating pekka early will do. I think it will be interesting to explore how he is after revenge... Still grumpy? lost? horny?

Like I know fanfic writers can write fantastic post-ck stuff and top it. But lol can the writers? like.. They kinda took the peak moments that were tucked int between the heist ahhaa. Do the same beats but MORE>. good luck to them. I think... i’m optimistic still because i’m naive. Hmm but There’s still moments to eplxore! (”I would come for you”, kaz carrying inej, Kaz washing himself, ....) hmm maybe there can be more?? They just got a headstart. and i feel the strength of soc is def the characters so they’re given the toys and now they just to write the stories.  But idk... like as evidenced by fanfic... there’s a lot you can still explore and lots of kanej moments you can create that don’t come out of soc/ck. Kaz still has a long way to go! and so does Inej in developing feelings and facing their traumas. And there’s endless scenarios and heists to create just like they did in season 1. But at same time... ahh they lost oppurtunity to straight adapt it. oh well. the price they must pay. LOl watch it not be renewed noooo. oop. Okay at least i got to see all the moments i wanted already.  

Anyways, i love d all the crow moments... but lol in terms of big picture... kind of random? BUT I’m IGNORING THAT. I still absolutely loved it at the same time. LOL wat did i expect from a season 2 of a ya series bloated with 5000 characters.. no they did the best they could. the writers really seem to know what moments the fans love and were like LETS DO IT ALLLNOW> oh i say. LOl and then we fans are like NOOO. Bahah i will be a nice fan and say I love it. bahaha. Even if it was crazy.

SPOILERS FOR JURASSIC WORLD DOMINION

ok so i just watched the new jurassic world (which i thought was called domination not dominion till rn) and it honestly wasnt that good. so heres my personal option of the movie, -the intro was the best part of the movie. like seriously, it was edited like a news report and gave u all the context for the movie (side note but pterodactyls have been in the world since the second part of the original trilogy, where have they been this whole time???) -biosyn. the new evil genetic company that says that their helping dinosaurs and arent doing anything for money. seriously why r ppl still trusting these companies? anyways this thing appeared out of no where and Lewis Dodgson was apparently in the first movie? -the cast, it was huge. i counted 9 ppl by the end. there was so many ppl that i feel we didnt get enough motivation or character building in general. like Ramsay, why did he help Ian? also so many ppl were only in scenes like once with no other mention. like Zia, she only helped in the beginning then no mention, and Barry and the lady they were after in those scenes. -double crossings. looking back there wasnt actually that many, but it felt like too much while watching. Ian works for biosyn but is actually helping, Ramsay is 2nd in command but is actually helping, Kayla helped biosyn but is now helping, Dr Wu has helped all the companies so far but guess what, ends up helping. like it wasnt even surprising it was just kinda annoying while watching, some even felt a bit forced just to help the plot. -love subplots. i dont like them, personal option. i didnt like it in the first movie or the first jurassic world. and this was literally both. in the jurassic park book Alan and Ellie were teacher and student and didnt have any romantic feelings, and in both that movie and this one they like each other. they literally end up together in this one. also Claire and Owen have finally fixed their on and off thing by this movie but its fine (they make sense plot wise i would just rather watch dinos fight) -Maisie. i was still kinda pissed from the end of Fallen Kingdom, when she released all the dangerous dinosaurs we have no means of stopping into the world (like seriously, her 1 decision has killed how many ppl so far?) anyways i wasnt actually that invested with her plot this movie, discovering herself and her origin. idk it felt like they just threw so many things at us with her i couldnt get into it. i was kinda bored whenever she was watching her moms videos... -it felt to easy. now i know what ur thinking, they had to go thru dinosaurs the whole time, how was it easy? well every time something went wrong there was a perfect solution, like in the end with having to get more power. also no one got hurt. Dr Wu literally had the biggest injury by the end and it was from tripping. like, when Owen and Kayla crashed a plane they were perfectly fine (not to mention Owen fell into a freezing lake and is just fine). the only ppl to get hurt were the evil ppl who were eaten by the dinos. like at least Ian was hurt in the first movie and in the last movie the indo-raptor somewhat injured Claire. Owens injury that had the same bandage thruout the entire movie was from Blue. i just feel that with so many mainish characters some coulda had been actually hurt from the giant terrifyingly strong creatures they were running from. -genetic power. they literally havent shut up about this since the original trilogy but like, what even is that? i know that they can make dinosaurs, but as someone with no degree in anything scientific related ive no clue what they can do with it. in this movie tho it shows that it can cure dna driven diseases which, why havent they been doing that since they figured out how to do all this stuff? -Dr Wu. like everyone was rightfully mad at him, but the only thing he said he regretted was making the locus. i get that thats one of the main plots but i feel like hes kinda cutting himself short there lol. and he just saves the day in the end without consequences (so did Owen and Claire after jurassic world)

Being Elijah's teenage witch daughter and boys trying to get your attention would include...

it wasn't that he didn't trust you it was that he didn't trust anyone else outside the family.... or Kol

you were naturally a powerful witch thanks to your grandmother's side of the family, but with uncle Kol's extensive knowledge and guidance you were bloody brilliant

Elijah made a strict no love potions/spells rule as soon as he noticed you looking at boys

he tried to be a cool but also fair dad and it often landed in weridly-chill-in-some-instances-and-super-strict-in-others territory

boys were something he tolerated at best

you often avoided boys that didn't know about the supernatural because, well, obviously? With your family it wouldn't be a secret long and you didn't want to deal with world-turned-upside-down-freak-outs all the time when your new crush found out magic existed

boys in the know were usually big time avoiders of ever meeting your family

it was a pretty telling sign if your newest crush wanted to meet your family as it often meant they wanted something be it danger (which meant they were way too into getting themselves killed and dumb), immortality (don't use you thanks), some favour they thought one of your aunts or uncles or dad could do them (lol again back to them being dumb)

anything more than 3 dates (you had a quick weed-them-out tactic that told you all you needed to know after 3 dates) had a mandatory talk by dear old dad which you dreaded

he mostly gave them a terrifyingly calm don't-hurt-my-daughter-or-I'll-rip-your-heart-out chat

your aunts and uncles liked to point out that you were more than capable of handling heartbreaking idiot boys by yourself but dad is dad... also you're pretty sure they'd all pitch in to torture the boy that hurt you regardless of how powerful you were so their point was kinda mute but you appreciated it anyway

Elijah often found it a good sign when a boy stood up to him in defence of you but if it was in defence of themselves he was not a happy dad

any wolf whistles on the street did not last long

teenage boy hormones often got teenage boy antics said teenage boy a broken something and a mind wipe with orders to stay far away from you

The Summer Before College | Marcus Moreno x reader

summary: just because you got some good scholarships doesn't mean you couldn’t use some extra cash.  luckily, babysitting for a family friend has been a steady side gig for you.  rule number one of babysitting: don't let your wandering eye rest for too long on the hot single dad.  

word count: 4.7k

warnings: smut (dub con elements? but she’s into it lol don’t worry), age gap (he’s 40-something, reader’s 18/19), loss of virginity, pussy spanking (like, once), lots of petnames and ‘good girl’s, not a dark fic but kinda pushing it, not explicitly dad's best friend trope but it has that energy and I've decided that he is in fact friends with the reader's dad

a/n: this has basically nothing to do with the movie.  he’s just a hot dad.  don’t overthink it.

You knew the walk to the Moreno's by now: down two blocks from your house, take a right at San Vicente, a left on Birch, a few houses down and you're there.  With your full backpack weighing on your shoulders it felt longer than usual, but you made it anyways and knocked on the front door. 

"It's open!" a voice called from inside, and you turned the knob and swung the door open.

You almost regretted wearing your tiniest jean shorts, from the way Mr. Moreno did a double take when you walked in.  But hey, it was the middle of summer and he would never look at you like that— you were just his daughter's babysitter, ever since you were sixteen; he was probably just surprised to see that you were wearing something other than your school uniform.  Maybe some part of you wished he would look at you like that… 

Missy called your name, tearing you from your thoughts, jumping up when she saw you and beaming as she rushed to give you a hug.  "Hey!" you greeted in return.  

“Thanks again for doing this,” Mr. Moreno nodded in your general direction, apparently already dressed for whatever it was he had to do, slipping on his jacket from where it hung on a hook by the door.  "She's already had dinner, so just homework and bedtime," he explained to you as you nodded dutifully.

"Bedtime?  Dad, I'm not a little kid anymore," Missy rolled her eyes.

"Okay, you're a big kid and you need to be asleep by 10.  It's a school night."

She huffed but didn't protest, and you joined her on the couch because she wanted to show you some drawings she’d done earlier that day.  "Bye, Dad!" Missy waved when he left, and he turned back quickly to blow a kiss in her direction.

Once you helped her finish her homework (frankly, you didn't have to do that much— she's a smart kid), the two of you enjoyed some video games before you finally got her to start getting ready for bed.

It was cute how confident Missy was that she wouldn’t be able to fall asleep, only for her to be snoring within five minutes of her head hitting the pillow.  You were envious of how easily she could sleep; you could kill an hour just tossing and turning and readjusting your blanket.  But that wasn’t going to be your problem tonight: you weren’t going to sleep yet, until the man of the house returned, meaning all you had to do was wait.

Even in summer, having already graduated, you had plenty of work to do while you waited for Mr. Moreno.  Knowing what classes you had in the fall, you bought your textbooks a bit early and planned on reading them all before the semester began.  You’d already gotten through Philosophy Through the Ages and now you continued from where you left off in the middle of Introductory Physics.  

What surprised you was that you had time to finish that one, too.  You had anticipated that Mr. Moreno would be back before you made it to the module on fluid dynamics, but you reached the index at a quarter past midnight and he was still gone.  You shrugged and picked up the next one— A Book of Luminous Things: An International Anthology of Poetry— hoping he was alright and that he’d be back soon.

You had to make yourself some coffee when 1 a.m. rolled around; tired, anxious, and distracted, you realized this was probably not the best state to be attempting to study in, but you didn’t feel like you had a choice.  You didn’t want to fall asleep here, you’d promised to watch Missy and you couldn’t exactly do that while asleep… plus, he would probably be back any minute now.  Sure, you’d been saying that to yourself for nearly an hour and a half now, but it was more true than ever.

It was another hour and a half, though, until his car pulled into the driveway and he pushed through the front door, prompting you to set aside your textbook.

“Good evening,” you greeted, standing up.  He looked a little disheveled— but it worked for him, with that curly hair all messed up in just the right way.  Maybe it was just that it was late or that it was the rare time you saw him without Missy around, but there was a darkness about him now, not sinister so much as just purely intimidating.  It was like you hadn’t really taken him seriously before, and now you were appreciating that you should have.

“She’s asleep?” he assumed, glancing over to the hallway which his daughter’s bedroom was positioned at the end of before slipping his jacket off and hanging it by the door.

“It’s half past two, so… I really hope so,” you chuckled.

“Shit, is it that late already?” he groaned, glancing at his watch.

“Did you not notice?”

“I.. got carried away.”

You didn’t want to know what he’d been out so late for.  It was none of your business, and you figured you were better off without any secrets to keep— you’d never been so good at keeping secrets, even your own.

“Been studying this whole time?” he noticed as he glanced at the textbooks on the couch, grinning a little.  It sort of felt like he was mocking you, and it made your cheeks warm as you nodded.  “What a good girl.”

That made a cold tingle crawl up your spine.  Sure, other students had called you that before, and plenty of your teachers, but when he said it, like that… it felt entirely new.  “I try,” you managed to respond eventually.

“You’ll do well in college, I bet.”

“You think so?” you beamed.

“Yeah,” he nodded confidently.  There was something comforting about the way he smiled at you; yet, there was something predatory about the way his eyes glanced down your body and back up slowly.

As you turned and bent over to pick up your textbooks off the couch, you could tell that he had stepped closer; you could just barely hear the soft noise of his footsteps on his carpet, just barely feel the warmth of him behind you, just barely pick up on the slow, thoughtful breath he took in and out through his nose.

Standing back up slowly, you felt him do it again, right against your neck.

“M-Mr. Moreno,” you stammered, shivering when his hands gripped you on either arm.  Not a tight grip, per se, but one that made his strength obvious.

“You don’t have to call me that,” he breathed.  “Not when we’re alone.”

Not that you really had any plan on how to respond to that, but if you had, it would've been forgotten as his lips brushed over your neck, leaving teasing kisses in a trail over your pulse.

"Wait—" you blurted out instinctively when his hands moved to your waist, cut off by your own shaky sigh and suppressed moan.  “What if she wakes up?” you questioned anxiously, glancing down the hallway and hoping you wouldn’t find Missy there, watching her dad feeling you up— and you letting him, not just that but enjoying it.  Of course, the hallway was deserted, but you couldn’t feel certain it would stay that way.

“She won’t,” he assured.  “Not if you can be a good girl and stay quiet.”

You made a little whimpering noise as you wondered if you could.  You didn’t know how, really; you were good at being quiet when you were alone, but being alone had never felt like this.  Forbidden, sexy, terrifyingly wonderful… nothing had ever felt like this.

“Do you want me to stop?” he purred, sounding like he already knew the answer.

“No,” you answered a little too quickly, “please… please don’t stop.”

“Yeah, I thought so,” he grinned.  “Tell me what you do want.”

“I want…” you sighed and started over again, willing yourself to speak your thoughts aloud even though they made a pit of guilt sink in your stomach.  "I want you to make me feel good."

You knew it was a sort of childish way of putting it, even before he laughed at your statement, but you weren't sure what else to say.  "Yeah?  I can do that," he decided.  "But I can make you feel good in so many ways…" he trailed off as his right hand slipped lower and lower, finally landing between your legs as you gasped.  Two fingers slid over the crotch of your shorts, and somehow he managed to bump against something that made electricity shoot up your spine and your hips buck into his touch of their own accord.  You felt his smile widen as his teeth grazed against the sensitive skin of your neck.  "You'll have to be more specific," he finally finished.  "How do you want me to make you feel good?"

"Inside me," you whined, "I want you inside me."

There was a sudden shift as it seemed like the control he had over you suddenly did not extend to himself; he growled a bit and pulled you into him, and you could feel the hard shape of his cock, through his trousers and your shorts.  You could feel it pressed just above your ass and it made you squirm against his embrace.  "Feel what you do to me?" he grunted, and you nodded quickly.  "Good."

He spun you around quickly, pulling you close to him and burning right through you with those brown eyes darker than ever, but just as you thought he might kiss you, he spoke instead.

“My bedroom’s upstairs,” he informed you quietly.

You just nodded, following him as he pulled you along through the house, up the stairs and past the door to the master bedroom of the house.

Now that you hadn’t seen it coming, of course, was when he chose to grab you and kiss you suddenly.  It was rough and passionate and nothing like you could've imagined; you were certain you'd never been kissed like this, like he needed to kiss you more than he needed anything.  

Your arms slipped around his neck as he pushed you back against the wall, lifting your legs to wrap around his waist as he kicked the door shut behind the two of you.  Little moans were muffled by the kiss— and it took you a minute to realize they were yours.  You didn’t even sound like yourself; probably because you’d never felt like this before, and therefore had never had any reason to sound like this.

You could feel his cock between your legs, though unfortunately not in the way you wanted.  Still, it drove you wild to have him so close like this, to try to imagine how the thick shape you were feeling would ever fit inside you.

His hands were so strong and thick that you worried they’d stretch out your tank top just by reaching under it— well, that is you would have worried about that if you could think about anything else but his hands reaching under your tank top.  He didn’t even waste his time touching you over your bra, instead making quick work of the clasps with one hand before coming back to grope one breast in his palm, then the other.  Just that was enough to make you run your fingers into his hair, but a little pinch to your raised nipple made your fists tighten and pull— you didn’t mean to, and you were just about to feel bad about it until he growled a little.  It seemed like a growl of approval, considering he pinched your nipples harder to make you do it again.  

“Feels good?” he asked with annoying (yet arousing) confidence.

“S-so good,” you slurred, stumbling over your words as you tried to think as clearly as possible through the thick haze of pleasure clouding your mind. 

As he guided you to set your legs down and unhook your arms from around his neck, you felt a bit like a doll being posed; when he pulled your top over your head and your bra from your arms, you felt like a doll being undressed.  You sort of didn’t mind it; you were happy to let him take the lead, confident he knew at least 100% more about this than you did. 

He knelt down before you as he roughly pulled at your tight jean shorts, his knuckles nearly bruising your hips as he stripped you.  Your underwear were not the pair you would’ve worn if you had known somebody was going to see them, just a plain dark blue color that made you feel so drab as he came face-to-face with them.  He didn’t seem to mind much, grinning up at you as he slipped his fingers under them and pulled them down, too.  Your face was so hot and yet your legs were breaking out into goosebumps simultaneously, and a shiver rolled up your body when he growled at the sight of your body laid bare for him.  Before you could even process it, he stood up and grabbed you, tossing you back onto the bed and spreading your legs.

“Fuck, what a pretty little pussy,” he praised with a smile that made you feel a little light-headed, swirling a few fingers over your swollen button until pulling them back to spank you there— it wasn’t even that hard, but you yelped and jolted and he laughed darkly.  “So sensitive,” he purred, his words walking a fine line between a compliment and a taunt, “so wet.”

Another finger slipping down to your entrance proved him right, your arousal plentiful as his touch glided through your folds.  

Suddenly overcome with a moment of bravery, you sat up and fumbled with the buttons of his shirt, making him smile down at you.  “Let me help you,” he offered as he worked the buttons instead, freeing you to try to open his belt.  “Look at you, acting so desperate…”

At this point, you weren’t even offended by that; you wanted him so bad that you didn’t have the energy to be embarrassed by it anymore.  

He slipped the shirt off of his shoulders just as you finished opening the belt.  He pushed your hands away, and now you could see the muscles in his arms flexing as he held you down by your wrists.  “You’re getting ahead of yourself, señorita,” he purred.

Why did feeling powerless to him turn you on so much?  There was no real fear to it— you knew and trusted him, you would never have developed your misguided crush on him if you didn’t— and yet there was a strong edge of uncertainty as he kissed your neck and moved down your chest, between your breasts before he stopped to kiss those, too.

“Oh god,” you breathed, and he smiled against your skin before sitting up and staring down at you.  It wasn’t apparent if it was distant streetlights or the moonlight shining in through the window, but either way it cast a cold blue light into the room that reflected as a glimmer in his eyes. 

“Not gonna make you wait any longer,” he promised in a low voice, reaching down to push his unbuttoned belt and trousers to his thighs— those thick, muscular thighs that made your lip catch between your teeth.

Your breath caught, too, but in your lungs this time as his cock was exposed: thick, swollen, veiny… it looked picturesque, if thoroughly intimidating.  You couldn’t figure out if you wanted to move towards it or sheepishly crawl away.

"Why do you look scared?" he asked, his voice so much deeper than you remembered it from before, even if there was genuine concern somewhere in his tone.

"Is it gonna hurt?" you asked instead of answering.

"Baby…" he sighed huskily, "are you a virgin?"

You bit your lip and looked away, irritated that you hadn't managed to hide your fear enough to keep your secret.  

He sighed, your silence apparently answer enough.  

"Do you not want to, anymore?" you asked anxiously, afraid you had completely killed the mood.  Part of the reason it'd taken you this long to lose it was specifically because people seemed intimidated by the idea of being your first.

"No, no, I— no," he asserted sternly.  "I just need to… change my approach, slightly.”

He leaned down a bit, hovering over you as he trailed his hand up your leg, rubbing the inside of your thigh before finally drawing circles over your aching clit with his thumb, causing you to shiver and moan quietly.

“And, to answer your question, it won’t hurt.  Not if I get you good and ready for me,” he explained, pushing just one finger into you— and even that small of a stimulation made your eyes flutter shut, with his fingers being so much thicker and stronger than yours.

The second made your fists clench around the satin-y sheets beneath you.  You didn’t dare open your eyes, knowing you’d find him staring down at you and you weren’t ready for that, weren’t ready to see his reaction to your body in such a vulnerable state.  You could hear his reaction, though, with the rough groans and satisfied sighs he let out as he pumped his fingers into you.

When three fingers filled you, your eyes shot open.  “Fuck!” you yelped.

He smiled but slowed down, apparently taking some pity on you— but not enough to stop him from pressing down harder on your clit.

Just when you figured he’d warmed you up enough and he’d fuck you like he promised, he slid lower and the bed and bent down, adding his tongue into the mix with his fingers.  It was… overwhelming, and hot, not just psychologically but literally: it was physically hot, as in temperature.  How was his mouth so warm against you, and his fingers so warm inside you?

When he latched his lips around your clit and sucked on it, you saw stars.  Energy gathered in your gut and burned so bright that you thought you might explode.  Really, it was more like an implosion as the coil inside you snapped and your thighs accidentally clamped down on his hand.  It didn’t faze him though, it didn’t even slow him down as he moaned a little against you and curled his fingers even harder.  You didn’t remember reaching down to grab his head, you just felt his hair between your fingers as you pulled it roughly, gasping his name.

When he did stop, sitting up and wiping his face with the back of his hand, you just looked back up at him as you caught your breath.  He laughed, and you realized you were gawking unintentionally.

“I’m guessing you’ve never come like that before?” he ventured.  You didn’t know if ‘like that’ meant from oral or just so suddenly and intensely, but it was true either way so you nodded.

When he reached down to grip his cock with the same hand still wet with your slick, you held your breath without realizing it.  “Please put it in me,” you whimpered.

“I will,” he assured as he guided the head of it through your slick folds, stopping to tease your clit as you jolted from the contact on the sensitive nerves.  Something surreal and indescribable tingled under your skin— you could hardly believe that this was happening, let alone with him, with Mr. Moreno.  Or, Marcus.  You were on a first-name basis by now, surely.

He pushed forward in one smooth, slow stroke until he was all the way inside you, his body filling yours to the brim as you quivered from the sensation of being stretched so wide.  

“Am I hurting you?” he asked roughly.

“...almost,” you answered hesitantly, unsure how to describe the sensations you were feeling; not exactly pain, but not not pain.  The favorite pain you’d ever felt in your life, easily.

He chuckled as he gripped your hips a little tighter.  "I'm gonna move now," he announced.  You nodded your approval, sighing shakily as he pulled his hips back and you felt the intoxicating friction of his cock against your walls.  

"Ffffuck," you whimpered, gasping when he slammed his hips forward again.  Your eyes rolled back in your head when he pushed as deep into you as he could with each thrust, still measured but not exactly gentle as he set a pace faster than you’d prepared for.  But it was good, god it was so fucking good you weren’t sure what to do with yourself.  "Marcus," you sighed, barely recognizing your own voice when it was heavy with need and arousal like this.

He grinned when he heard his name cross your lips, grinding his hips against yours for emphasis until you were forced to arch your back.  "You like it rough, don't ya, honey?"

You nodded, confident that you liked it however he was doing it.

"Fuck, I knew it.  Knew as soon as I saw you."

Before you could wonder what he meant by that, he was already moving fast enough to make your head spin.  You had never had anything so deep inside you before, and when he pushed your legs up and back against your chest, you had no choice but to scream with pleasure.

Just before you reached the peak of it though, his hand clamped down over your mouth to muffle the sound.  "Gotta be quiet," he reminded you through his teeth before relaxing his hand a bit so you could still be heard somewhat

"I can't," you whined, "Marcus, please, I can't stay quiet—"

"You have to."

"Feels too good," you whimpered your excuse.  "F-fuck, slow down, I won't be able to stop it—"

He cut you off with a kiss, slow yet dominating, and your moans were muffled by his lips.  You still sounded so loud in your own head, but at least your cries weren't echoing against the walls of his room anymore.

What was echoing were the sounds of skin slapping on skin as he pounded into you, roughly finding every delicate spot within you and making the backs of your thighs sore as his hips slammed into them.  It forced your hands to grip at his muscular shoulders and your nails to dig into the skin there.  You hoped there would be little half-moon shaped marks there tomorrow, maybe one would even scar so he'd have your mark on his body forever; after all, he'd carved a permanent space in your body by taking your virginity.  Even if you couldn't dream of being as special to him as he was to you, you liked the idea of giving him something that he couldn't give back.

That energy was building again, different from before but no less powerful and persistent.  "I'm gonna— fuck, I'm gonna come, I'm so close," you whispered.

“Yeah?  Go ahead," he encouraged.  "I wanna see you fall apart just for me, wanna feel you come around my cock."

You hadn't realized he'd be able to feel it, and the idea of that was so filthily beautiful that it pushed you over the edge, your whole body tensing up in sudden waves of pleasure so intense that it made your eyes water.

Through the static filling your ears, you heard his low, husky voice encouraging you: "Good girl, just like that, don't fucking stop."

You'd always been powerless to his voice, but this was another level.  It was as if your body understood and met his demands, continuing to ride the peak of your sensation so long as he growled in your ear just right.  

It was much too tender, the way he brushed the stray hair away from your face, the way he kissed your slack mouth again, the way he held you tighter and mumbled more praises to you.  It was more romantic than it had any right to be, and you had to bite back the words of affection threatening to spill out of your mouth.

I love you, you wanted to tell him, I've loved you for years, but it was beyond inappropriate.  You didn't want to play the role of the innocent virgin who thinks sex means being in love and lets herself catch feelings for the older man who is just taking what he wants and, at best, doing her a favor so she doesn't have to go off to college and get her cherry popped there.  Maybe that was accurate, but that wasn't who you wanted to be.  

You wanted to be sexy, and mature, and in control.  You wanted to play a new rule, one that still felt foreign and yet closer than ever.  So you wrapped your legs around his hips and held him deeper in you, smiling with a little growl of your own.

"I want you to come inside me," you informed him with a purr, loving the little moment of shock that passed over his face before he groaned, fucking you a little faster and more erratically.

"Fuck, really?" he rasped.

You bit your lip as you looked up at him through half-lidded eyes and nodded.

"You're on the pill?"

Another nod, this one finished off with a shiver as you wondered how much more of this your body could take.

He grinned and picked up the pace again, his moans getting a little louder with each movement.  "Fuck, I'm gonna come— gonna fill up your tight little pussy, is that what you want?"

You nodded feverishly, already close to the edge again as you imagined what it would be like to have his come in you for the rest of the night.  Was he going to make you walk home with it leaking out from between your legs?  Why did that idea make your inner muscles involuntarily tighten around him?

With a string of curses and a grip on your thigh tight enough to bruise, he reached his own peak and you felt his cock flex and pulse inside you, a new warmth filling your gut from the inside out.  

It's hard to say how long the two of you stayed like that, since you were busy basking in the afterglow (and, less enjoyably, worrying about the consequences that tomorrow morning would bring).

When he pulled out and collapsed beside you, you wondered if you should get up and get dressed.

"Stay here tonight," he instructed you, as if somehow a response to your internal thought.  "Your folks won't freak out if you're out all night, right?"

"I'll just tell them I slept over at your place," you shrugged.  With a confused look from him, you clarified: "on the couch."

"Right," he nodded as he wrapped you in his arms and pulled you closer, letting you rest your head in the crook of his neck.  In this way and in so many others, it was how you expected (and hoped) losing your virginity would go: someone you trust and who cares about you, with enough attention on you that you didn't feel much pain, plus cuddling afterwards.  But, in even more ways, it was unlike what you'd ever thought possible: it felt incredible and you came so hard that your ears were still kind of ringing, you didn't use a condom or even think to mention it, and finally— and most absurdly— it was with Marcus fucking Moreno.

Frankly, considering his performance earlier, "fucking" very well could be his middle name.

"You should sit for me again next week," he suggested quietly.

"Do you have somewhere to go?"

"No," he grinned, "but I'll be sure to come back real late, after she's gone to bed, so I can show you all the other ways I can make you feel good."

"H-how many ways are there?!"

He just laughed, pulling you closer and placing a gentle kiss to the top of your head.  “Oh, sweetheart… so smart, but so innocent.  We can fix that.”

You weren’t sure entirely which of those two things he intended on fixing.

Centaurworld Rewrite: A Serious Adventure AU - S1E1 Outline

I’m doing rewrite outlines, prepare for some AU. That being said, I still like several parts of Centaurworld a lot, namely Rider, Horse, Wammawink, and whatever the hell is going on with the Nowhere King, and hope there’s a second season to watch (which I will if Netflix doesn’t ruin our hopes and dreams).

Anyways, here’s like, a rewrite or whatever. I will probably post the outlines as I go, episode by episode. Will I get to them all? ADHD-willing, we’ll see. Also feel free to use these ideas/outlines? I don’t mind. 

Also assume there are songs in this even if I don’t specifically mention all of them. Also I guess this rewrite kinda chains the 1st and 2nd episodes together as a two parter? Maybe, idk.

Also I’ll preface this with this too: I ship Wammahorse, yes I SHIPSHIP it. Moving on.

Some headcanons before we start:

Warworld (*the world Rider and Horse are from) is a Low Fantasy Setting, there IS magic, but it comes in two variations, either very subtle low-powered but relatively uncommon, or Terrifyingly Powerful and so extremely rare to the point that it’s not very well known and “just myths” (usually for Big Baddies)

Ideas for Horse’s Degree of Sapience Prior to Worldhopping:

A: Horse was just a regular, non-magical horse, and their exposure to the Artifact and Centaurworld has essentially made them a Fully Uplifted Animal. - This is interesting, but ultimately a difficult idea to convey because it would require a lot more setup and wouldn’t exactly fit Horse’s characterization without some rework. This is an amazing idea, but I won’t be using it because it would slow things down too much.

B: Horse is a low-fantasy magic steed raised as warhorse/war asset, who is much smarter than your average animal steed/companion similar to a DND Ranger’s pets, or Mabari from Dragon Age, or a Ranger Horse from John Flanagan’s ‘Ranger’s Apprentice.’ The combined exposure to the Artifact and Centaurworld could account for her gaining speech and her body expressing limited physical adaptation to Centaurworld’s different physics (her body’s new extended range of motion for example) but of course I’ll be limiting this because having stakes make it more fun imho. This is my favorite, I’m using this.

Horse would’ve been considered a very valuable war asset (trained warhorses are like, historical ferraris, expensive as hell, i can only imagine what low-magical smart warhorses would be valued at), though still ultimately expendable for the war effort like anything else

Let Horse have horse behaviors (*can you tell I haven’t really left my horse phase behind lol)! Nipping and grooming behaviors as affection or warnings, ear positions to indicate mood, grazing to eat, laying down only when truly relaxed, sleeping standing up. COME ON.

Centaurworld is a High Fantasy world with an Absurdist bent but with darker undertones, similar to how Adventure Time is, with an extremely high saturation of magic, maybe you could even theorize that due to the Splitting of the Two Worlds that all the magic is being Dammed up in Centaurworld like a river or reservoir, this could be a future plot thread that could be picked up in a later season.

Basic Changes: 

Durpleton, Glendale, Ched and Zulius are supporting cast, not main

Durpleton is less stupid and more of a Kronk-expy: a little dim but ultimately kind/means well, has at least 1 life skill he’s good at buried in there though for the life of me I can’t think of one right now.

Glendale’s Narrative Framing: Glendale is amazing, but the kleptomania will be allotted ONE (or two) joke mentions but narratively isn’t treated like one after, somehow establish that her kleptomania is directly intertwined with her anxiety levels. Are there other denizens of the Valley that know the Herd? Are they mad at Glendale for stealing things? Does Wammawink have to constantly run interference to cover for Glendale? Probably.

Make Ched look like less of a pointless asshole: Have him show concern for his friends’ safety and his suspicion of outsiders, AKA Horse. If he’s going to be a jerk, at least let it serve a purpose.

Zulius can stay roughly the same - Zulius is great okay, just don’t tell me there’s backstory and then NOT TELL OR SHOW US ANY CLUES about what said backstory/history IS! (other than forcing us infer/project the headcanon[?] that him and Splendib might’ve been exes, from how they act around each other without any other context/visual/or confirming exposition we literally know nothing other than Splendib and him split/had a nasty falling out and Splendib took the glittercats and the career in the divorce.)

S1E1: Hello Rainbow Road

Opening scene in Warworld

If these episodes were allowed to be longer (shuddup it’s my AU), have the scene open with Horse sees Rider comes running out of some underground castle ruin catacombs and ominous roaring and clanging behind her as she deliberately sets off a dungeon booby trap (arrows or fire) she must’ve avoided while dungeon crawling earlier, and Horse runs towards her and circles at a canter and then Rider does a Running Mount (mounting a horse while the horse is in motion) and shoots an arrow at that flies offscreen

Smash cut to the DRAWBRIDGE door falling and Rider and Horse come galloping out while dodging some javelins and arrows and 1.5 seconds later 1-4 armored minotaurs (the lizardmen?) riding some coursers (swift horses or horselike creatures idk have fun) gallop behind in hot pursuit.

WARWORLD CHASE/FIGHT SCENE

Rider and Horse take out 2 of the pursuers on the run have Rider stay on horseback, dodge and make 1 pursuer shoot/javelin another 1 into a nasty-looking fall, and then Rider nails another 1 right through the helmet visor with an arrow. Have Rider throw a smoke bomb or something at the 2 remaining ones trying to catch up.

2 Enemies left but Horse is forced to skid to a stop as the suspension bridge approaches, then a tense moment forced to walk in order to escape safely across the suspension bridge which Rider cuts once they’re across. Maybe have 1 of the minotaur pursuers having been on the bridge somewhat behind them before Rider had to cut the line, sending the enemy hurtling down below. The remaining minotaur scout stares at them ominously from the other side before leaving.

Have Rider breath a sigh of relief

Smash cut to Horse and Rider traveling across a wartorn landscape, start Horse’s internal monologue narrative until they finally get to the hill and see the ruins of their village

Everything from this point to Horse getting transported to Centaurworld is the same as canon

Not Actually a DREAMVISION SEQUENCE: 

Shot/Animated from Horse’s 1st Person POV: Darkness, the sound of whooshing Horse falls, shimmering flash colors [if this were an actual show pls put a Epilepsy warning at the beginning of the ep], then a loud Splash as Horse falls into Dark Water. POV looks down and we see Horse’s front legs and a bottomless abyss below and a then flash of green and off-white from deep below, then look up to see blue light, see the swimming motions of Horse’s front legs and getting closer to the Blue Light

Horse wakes up, blinking, alone (no Durpleton)

Horse gets up looks around, doesn’t see Rider anywhere and starts makes Whinnying sounds (specifically, Whinnying is a social horse call, like specifically going, “Rider where are you!?” in IRL horse)

“And what are you supposed to be?” the “camera” wheels around to see Ched who has landed on Horse just within reach of her tail so Horse lets out a startled squeal (the Horse noise, not the human one) and does that thing where horses use their tails to swat away insects which sends Ched FLYING as Horse’s squealing morphs into her Talking/Yelling “what the heck is going on?!”

Horse does what panicked horses do, she runs

Horse stumbles into meeting Durpleton, who freaks her out more

Meeting kinda the same as canon but with less constant emphasis on reminding the audience that the writer’s can’t write comedy

Wammawink and Horse meet, Ched flies in and goes “hey that asshole kicked my a-I mean attacked me, but I totally beat ‘em.”

Horse tries to leave, discovers the Barrier, tries to get through, fails multiple times, but only 3-4 attempts shown with time passage show by the time of day changing, have Horse’ talking to herself a bit about how utterly weird the talking words thing is, that this is a “human” thing why is this HAPPENING she needs to get back

Waste less time on the visual gags of the Barrier repelling Horse, also get rid of the Tree Catapult scene because it doesn’t jive with Horse being a horse, why do they know how to make a catapult? Also because I hate how it basically shows us that Horse has no physical danger or chance of injury from being FLUNG around like Pokemon’s Team Rocket.

Have the rest of the centaur Herd come up to and talk to Horse while Horse is trying to get through the Barrier, and Horse talks about the outside and her world and doing things, squeeze in some convo about how there’s no (current) war in Centaurworld and how Horse thinks that that “freedom must be nice.” Anyways these conversations are what has Glendale, Zulius and Durpleton at least considering the ups of leaving.

Durpleton: Durpleton approaches Horse alone and asks about where she’s from, what’s home like, expositiony bits for Warworld and how much Horse needs to get herself and the Artifact back to Rider; Horse should say something offhand, like how she dreamed about exploring the world with Rider after the War seeing new things together, to which we’d cut to a shot of Durpleton looking thoughtful, before asking a completely unrelated question before Horse asks to be left alone. He doesn’t go originally, but gets distracted by something (butterfly?) and trots off.

Wammawink, Ched & Glendale: Atop a hill, Wammawink looks up to see stormclouds gathering off in the distance and comments that they’re going to be in for some rough weather, then goes over to offer Horse food, but gets distracted by some other Valley Denizens who are mad suspicious that Glendale is responsible for something of theirs that’s missing. Leaving Wammawink to go off and have to run interference leaving Glendale to approach Horse alone. Horse will learn that there’s no (current) war in Centaurworld but there was one historically, and Glendale will offhandedly mention that they’ve stolen everything from everyone in the Valley at least 4 times and with the unspoken implication of boredom. Ched will butt in and heckle Horse like, “could you leave any quieter?” and Horse sniping back, ears pinned back and animated horse stress behaviors. And Horse’s last failed attempt at passing the Barrier has them drop the Artifact, and we get a shot of Glendale spotting and eyes widening at seeing the Artifact unattended on the ground, then we get a smash cut of Glendale getting herded away by Ched.

Zulius: Goes over to ask about Horse’s avante garde accessories (her bridle, saddle & armor[barding]), makes comments on her style/aesthetic and asks where he could find some. Horse loses her patience, and says that she Needs to concentrate on getting back to someone they care a lot about and could you please just go away? 

Horse: (voiced as a rhetorical question) “Haven’t you ever wanted to go back to someone you loved before?”

Zulius gets a Look on his face, then he’d puff up, cover up the Armor Piercing Question’s effect on him with more bluster and then turn away as it gets later

Around sunset, Horse finally gives in to go ask Wammawink what’s up, and how can they leave.

Wammawink tries to feed them and convince them to stay, but Horse waves her off and moves away while muttering something about coming up with a plan

Speaking of plans, the Herd excluding Wammawink (& Ched) start talking about being bored, and mention Horse saying stuff about exploring the world (taken out of context, deliberately)

Wammawink, smelling the ugly head of discontent, sighs in defeat at not being able to recruit this new outcast in the Herd and approaches a grazing Horse and says she’ll help her through it with her magic(not admitting that the Barrier is her magic working in the first place because it’s not relevant right now okay) but then we get the “What’s magic?” bit from Horse and the rest of the Herd butts in with the Song. They wander off to go to bed afterwards, and Horse wants to go Now but Wammawink says that she’ll help Horse leave the Barrier but only in the morning because “you look tired”

Horse: “That doesn’t matter.” *awkward silence*

Wammawink, sadly: “Of course it does.” *Horse has already walked away*

The sun finishes setting as the wind blows the plants and through Wammawink’s fur (ominously) and she shivers, going back to the campfire

DREAM SEQUENCE: It’s dark, then we get a flashback dream of a younger Rider and Horse, idk a memory of something to showcase them either while in training or really show their Bond okay? End with them sitting around a campfire with other young soldiers and horses, someone is humming something (the first few bars of the Nowhere King’s Lullaby, no actual words yet). Then Dream!Rider turns to face Horse and asks, “how could you?”

Horse: “How could I what?”

Dream!Rider: “How could you leave me behind?” (The humming grows louder, there’s a lute being played, growing discordant)

Then Horse starts calling into the darkness/void, “I’m coming back for you, Rider! Just hang on, alright?!”

Rider: “Oh Horse, it’s already too late for me.”

“Rider!” Horse yells as they jolt awake, standing, because horses typically sleep standing up.

It’s dawn but the wind and stormy weather signs are picking up but not here yet, Wammawink walks Horse to the edge of the Valley barrier and tries to convince Horse to stay here where it’s safe, but Horse refuses to be deterred

Brief shot of Glendale hiding a bunch of things from her Tummy Hammerspace in order to simulate the feeling of stealing things again later, including the Artifact which falls on the ground

A shot of Durpleton seeing and picking up the Artifact and spotting Wammawink and Horse some distance away going toward the barrier’s edge

Wammawink hangs back on a hill, glowy hands and the magic wall flickers and disappears, and Horse immediately breaks into a gallop and disappears into the forest, Wammawink sighs and turns away

Indeterminate amount of time later, Wammawink recasts the Barrier, and Durpleton misses breakfast so Wammawink enlists Ched to help her look for him because Ched can fly

Cut to a shot of Horse dropping from a canter to a trot on the Rainbow Road, it’s grown darker and the stormclouds are in the sky. Distant thunder booms overhead, and a few scattered raindrops start to fall

“Heyyyy! You forgot your necklaceeee!” a shout from behind

Horse looks back and sees a running Durpleton holding the Artifact, and stops, he catches up to Horse and is gasping, “Wow, you run fast, hoooo, *deep breaths* you’re really *another gasp* athletic! Anyways you forgot your Necklace.”

Durpleton ties the broken string into a necklace around Horse’s neck and Horse thanks them and wishes them a safe journey back to the Valley, but as this happens the rain gradually falls harder. Then the sounds of the Rest of the Herd finally catching up happen, and Wammawink mother hens Durpleton and wants take everyone back home but then a loud BOOM of thunder and lightning overhead, and then it starts to Pour down rain, forcing Horse and co to find shelter until it lets up. Maybe have someone mention something about landslides being a possibility? Durpleton asks how they found them so fast, dim remember, then brief flashback.

FLASHBACK: Wammawink and co searching and calling out for Durpleton everywhere in the Valley, and realize that he must’ve followed Horse for some reason when Zulius FINALLY shows up and mentions that he remembers Durpleton saying he was gonna give Horse back her necklace. The recast Barrier is brought down and they leave the Valley to bring back their friend.

Back to the present where the group has taken shelter as the storm picks up more, and thunder booms overhead, Horse has some nervous horse body language going on, then we get to hear her mutter-singing or humming the “I never fear the drums of war” to calm herself down, but with more stanzas please, when asked she says it’s a battle hymn that Rider sang.

If Horse was humming, Wammawink could ask why she doesn’t sing, she’s sure that Horse has a lovely voice

Horse goes “I’m a horse, I don’t sing.”

Wammawink tries to be encouraging, Horse is resistant

Wammawink invites her to eat (AGAIN) but Horse still turns her (love and affection) down (AGAIN!) and says she’s fine with grazing and Glendale pipes in excitedly that they have decided that they want to travel with Horse (Ched pipes up that he didn’t agree to this) but pls help us convince Wammawink and Horse protests but someone points out to ask “do you even know where you’re going” and they have a point

Horse acknowledges this and relents, states some stuff about how she’s not going to slow down much however. Then Glendale, Zulius and Durpleton rejoice, Ched acts tsundere, but Wammawink looks nervous and wrings her hands together and relents that “they’ll go with Horse as far as the nearest Shaman” and Ched will go, “hey don’t you know he-” and Wammawink shushes him quickly with a gigglecake

Wammawink doubles down on the mother henning behavior

Horse doesn’t eat Wammawink’s gigglecakes but grazes by herself nearby, occasionally answering a question or two when engaged by the others (not Wammawink) and Wammawink mentions how the weather probably won’t let up for very long and they should take it slow and that Horse should bundle up

Horse disagrees but its bedtime and a bedtime song occurs in the backdrop as a restless Horse struggles to stay alert and awake but eventually falls asleep

VISION SEQUENCE: A shimmer of soft blue light, then shots of Rider ducking and weaving, her sword flashing as she tries to weave her way through a horde of enemy soldiers, blood spatters, then an enemy archer takes aim at a fleeing Rider, and Horse calls out a warning. 

Rider turns her head with a surprised look on her face suddenly just enough that the arrow buries itself into her shoulder instead the middle of her back and then she stumbles, one of her arms going limp, but everything goes dark before we can see if she fell

Everything goes dark and the din of war fades away, we get a shot of Horse’s hooves splashing and making ripples into dark water but the camera doesn’t follow her, we hear Horse’s cries for Rider fade, growing further and further away

Still dark, but in the silence we hear distant sound, drip, drip, drip, drip.

Then the episode ends and the credits roll.

[whorefordazai]

Hey! I love ur blog... I rlly liked ur works..(all of em...but mostly the one with the bug..that was Hella funny ngl)

Sooo... I saw that u r a slytherin...n I'm one too.. n was wondering g if u could write hcs or oneshot of dazai n his witch fem slytherin s/o?

If u don't mix AUs, or do smthng like this, then can I have dazai with a sarcastic, witty, smart s/o??

(Also can she have short hair? Like it just reaches her cheekbones...kinda like a pixie cut)

Thank u !

(P.S do lemme know if I'm accidentally violating any req rules...this is a pretty weird ask...n sorry if I am!)

~teacup☕

Thanks so much for requesting! I LOVE THIS IDEA WOAJSJ I’ve never done any AU’s so I hope this is at least close to your liking

Dazai with a slytherin fem! s/o

ft. dazai x fem! reader

genre: fluff

warnings: mentions of sex

Dazai would def be a slytherin.

Out of first glance, anyone would’ve thought he’d at least be a Hufflepuff. But no.

Slytherin supremacy.

You and Dazai are like, a power couple.

Not many know that you’re together (because neither of you have ever said it out loud).

But anyone would guess you two were an item from first glance.

One word: mischief

Despite Slytherins being serious and strict about their work, you two always have tricks up your sleeve.

Lock picking into forbidden rooms is a daily routine. Lock picking to make out in secret.

Whether it be pulling pranks or getting away with trouble, you two are always stuck by the hip. But no one would ever dare try to prank any of you. They knew they’d lose anyway.

That’s not to say you don’t take your work very seriously. Getting things the way you want is always a must.

You two would have matching tattoos. It would be a small image of a snake on either of your fingers.

The amount of inside jokes you two have are crazy.

Snowball fights between the houses? Slytherins always win because you and Dazai always calculate plans.

Another word: manipulators

We all know Dazai’s scary pm backstory, right? Well just incorporate that with him as a slytherin.

Terrifyingly hot.

But it’s fine cuz you match his personality all too well. Both of you are cunning and ambitious.

The rest of the slytherins respect you, even though they know you guys like pranking others.

They respect you mostly because they’re lowkey scared of you. In a good way.

He’s so proud to call you his little witch. Always brewing up potions to help him commit suicide.

Oh, and the plant called Belladonna?

It causes delirium and hallucinations.

He loves making poisonous potions with that plant. It’s his favorite.

Once, you two had sex while on a potion that had Belladonna. It was the best sex you’d ever had in your life.

You two cut each other’s hair.

He thinks it’s so cute how you ask him to trim your pixie cut every few months.

He always tries his best to make it look good. And it does.

“Mhm...Belladonna, does it look good?”

“Dazai...it looks amazing!”

Who knew this man would so good with hair?

Both of you would be brats in bed. He would try to dom you but your sarcasm and witty jokes would lowkey tick him off.

When you’d try to dom him back, he’d simply smirk, “are you actually trying to intimidate me? lol cute.”

One of the perks of being a slytherin, is that you’re both loyal to each other.

Neither of you would catch the other cheating with a person from another house. Getting in bed with a Hufflepuff? Gross.

Dazai would always sneak into your dorm at like 3am.

And since the slytherin dormitories are always below freezing, you would both snuggle under the big warm covers.

Sleep schedules? Who’s that.

Both of you would be awake till the sun comes up.

I feel like you’d both start to subconsciously mirror each other? Literal soulmates.

Picking up each other’s scent or laugh is definitely something both of you would subconsciously do but never realize or admit to it.

Can I just add Dazai and Draco might be rivalry flirts.

hey do you have any ideas on what toji’s role would be in an artist!jjk universe or in the renaissance au?

god babe u really did that. thank u so much. finally i have been given permission to yeet off about my [sometimes toxic] boyfriend fushiguro toji <3

first – artist!jjk universe. so, i think of toji as a professor. yes, i know, feral toji gets to control the classroom. he’s like...that young hot professor that gets folks all hot and bothered because he 1. is literally one of the most dangerously attractive people alive 2. has a way of speaking that just makes u lose it. deep, gravelly voice laced with amusement and danger giving u that lecture? yeah, sign me up!!

as for what he teaches, if we’re sticking with the ‘art’ theme, i see him primarily teaching the shit that i hate – cubism, futurism, brutalism, etc. in other words, that era of the early 20th century where we move into the abstract, the bold-and-brash-and-belongs-in-the-trash type beat. i think he’d really enjoy the stark violence and just like...raw power of a lot of work that comes out of that period.

if not art, comparative literature – he’s got the intensity of a man who would fuck u up in that class. the kind of literature class where he will murder u in front of everyone if u say something dumb about the book. the discussions are always so tense and competitive because everyone wants to try and impress him, but, unfortunately for all of us, toji is simply never impressed with what we have to say and usually will just play devil’s advocate. (he’s terrifyingly whip smart and loves discussing the nature of life. please let me take your class im begging.) also he loves assigning u a fuckton of reading just to make u suffer!!

finally, phd candidate gojo satoru is often assigned to be toji’s ta. both of them hate it because it is absolutely impossible for them to get along. toji makes gojo’s life a living hell and gojo is typically equally as annoying in response. rest in peace to the entire humanities department lol

now, if u want a **TW TOXIC** addition to this – toji is absolutely the sexy kinda professor u would consider fucking to boost ur grade. if i’m going to be totally honest u would consider fucking this man regardless of whether you’re passing his class or not because he looks like he’s 30 and flirty and ready to go. toji’s office hours are always the most sexually charged 45-60 minutes of your life. all the low-key thirsty students (including u) literally make shit up to go talk to this man. yes he’s giving u bedroom eyes while there’s a literal photo of his infant son on the desk. (professor fushiguro toji is a sexy fucking dilf. toji please call me back im begging.) basically he’s a man with some power and he’s hot and u know what. yes im wearing my sexy clothes to go ask about my midterm

second – renaissance toji is absolutely, 100%, the guy ur respectable parents are telling u to stay away from. if he’s an artist, he’s michelangelo – sullen, hard to be around, kinda gross and a little weird, typically inebriated and gruff but somehow pulls off the most amazing and thought-provoking artwork ever. (also, have u seen how fucking buff michelangelo’s people are? yeah tell me toji would not be into that. he’d absolutely be drawing that kinda muscle.)  

if not an artist, toji probably is a philosophy kinda guy – a little toxic machiavellian type of man, if u will. he loves questioning god and getting excommunicated by the pope like it’s his fucking hobby. regardless, ur parents do not want u near him because he’s rumored to be dangerous and atheist and too radical even for the renaissance. (also, he has an std. it’s 1485 no one knows what hygiene is.)

but....you’ll see him out of the corner of your eye on sundays at the cathedral, where he’s absolutely rolling his eyes at the sermon. it’s incredibly sexy. 

you’re going to be attracted to renaissance toji because he’s got that air of defiance about him – a sort of, “why do i care what god thinks?” type of vibe. with his sexy little renaissance fits, you think he’s incredibly dangerous and cool, and you definitely start sneaking out to see him, or you try to catch moments alone whenever you’re running errands in town. 

still, toji probably doesn’t care about you as much as you wish he did. he definitely yeets off to milan or venice or southern italy because his job requires him to be on the move, but i will not deny that your time with him is incredibly romantic and would spur an amazing bittersweet period drama if it was made into a movie <3

#im so happy thank u for asking me this #I love talking about toji #thank u thank u #fushiguro toji #toji x reader #fushiguro toji x reader #jujutsu kaisen x reader #adele writes #letters to adele #fushiguro.toji #artist!jjk

The new chapter was really good! I actually thought we wouldn’t see jeonghan but…

Vernon kinda acted stupid not checking on her but 🤷‍♀️

I’m worried for Chan ngl I hope he is doing ok!

I hope your doing alright as well ❤️ that post really scared me!

Don’t forget to drink water, eat and sleep well <3

@sonje78!!!

My dear friend! These messages are long overdue - please forgive me for getting back to you so late T^T I'm just going to compile them all into one long post here lol, so be prepared! As always, thank you for the reminders to drink water and just take care of my health in general hehehe - I need that . . . A LOT LOL.

Without further ado!!!

P.S. Tumblr has been really glitchy 😭 I wanted to screenshot and C&P your asks on here, but it won't let me do it anymore, unless, I upload it to my laptop picture profiles, so I resorted to just C&P the text message! Apologies if the formatting is weird.

^^ replying to the message above!

Wdym you thought you'd never see Jeonghan again?! 🤡 Lol jokes, jokes - I didn't think a lot of people would expect it either hahaha. I wanted to reflect the reality of the situation though because IRL (or from my experience at least lol), no matter how hard you try to let go of these kinds of people, they always come back to haunt you some way, some how when you think you're finally over them :') Vernon isn't stupid . . . he's just . . . oblivious and assumes the best 😭 We'll see Chan x OC again :) It'll be okay!! I promise :) I'm sorry for having worried you 😭 Not to toot my horn, but I would like to think I have fairly good judgement on people - if I don't feel safe, I get out of the situation ASAP. Please don't worry about me too much! I'll be okay and I had friends with me who had my back :)

+

OH MY GOD ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME!!!

This was an amazing chapter!! You’re so good at writing <3

I feel so bad for Chan 😭 he deserves better!

But I didn’t understand a line. It was “Vernon has crush on Charlie XCX more than you did Woozi” English isn’t my first language so… can you explain please?

And something I found really funny was when I read the last line it reminded me of a svt lyric 😂

[Picture: Lyrics from Lie Again - 'Because I love you, because the words 'I love you' isn't enough/so I let you go']

Chan deserves the world, but I only hurt him :') Idk why I keep doing this 😭 TMO aside, all I ever outline for Chan are angsty stories, it's kind of disturbing LOL. I blame Yoon Jeonghan just cuz 😂 I'm not sure if you know, but Vernon is actually a HUGE simp fanboy of the artist Charli XCX! It got to the point where she finally found out about him hahaha and they did a recent collab, remixing her song, Beg For You! In the context of the story, if you remember OC is a huge fan of Woozi. Similarly, Vernon is a huge fan of Charli XCX, except he may love her more than OC loves Woozi 😂🤣 I hope this makes sense! If not, lmk and I can try to expalin better YO!!!! I'm SHOOK!! I'm not sure if people notice, but my chapter titles are lyrics from Seventeen songs that I feel suit the theme of the chapter. I was actually looking at 'Lie Again' when searching for a title chapter - I can't believe I missed it! I took something from 'Light A Flame' instead 🤣

+

The new chapters were amazing!!!

I don’t have a lot of thoughts about terrifyingly innocent but the bonus of tmo was great, Chan should get y/n but just my opinion 🙂 Vernon is really cute though 🥲

Anyway I’m having the same problem with studying, my brain just does not want to…

I’m going out breakfast tomorrow so hopefully I can clear my head a bit 😮‍💨

I hope both of our exams go well ❤️

PLEASE SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON WHY CHAN SHOULD GET OC?!?!?! Not many people tell me this directly, but I get the vibe that most people are rooting for Vernon x OC! I hope you had a good breakfast and your exams this week go well!!! Thankfully, I passed my final last week, so I won't have to worry about exams for awhile, which will be nice! That said lots of other life changes coming for me 😪 It'll be tough, but we'll get through it together :)

+

OKAY YOU HAD A MESSAGE HERE ASKING ABOUT SVT'S ENGLISH SINGLE AND TUMBLR DELETED IT. SO I WILL JUST REPLY WITH MY THOUGHTS 😭 IM SO SORRY TUMBLR BE HELLA GLITCHY AND BLOGGY THESE DAYS

I'm pretty indifferent about the English single 😂 I'm just happy to see music from them again! They are a very active group on social media, but I still miss them a lot :( Tbh, it's no surprise to me that they're doing this though, especially since they've joined HYBE, which is notorious for pushing the Western agenda (I have thoughts on this, but we will save it for another time LMAO) I've actually been a fan of BTS longer than SVT, just not super involved the fandom because . . . well you know how some of their fans can get 😅 Anyways, I've seen this whole process with BTS, then with TXT, and now, I guess, SVT - I figured the English single was coming soon. Especially with English songs being better accepted in the Kpop community (thinking about Ten's Paint Me Naked, Loona's Dancing On My Own, etc.), it was only a matter of time! Mingyu also mentioned wanting to do an OT13 English song and Vernon was spotted working with one of HYBE's American producers, Melanie Fontana too. I don't think there's anything wrong with it per se - if anything, it'll just open more doors for them in terms of creativity and opportunities. I'm excited to see where it can take them, and what this leads up to in regards to the new FULL album. Hbu? What are your thoughts?

+

Btw you put Chan’s face when Vernon was talking with y/n in the newest chapter and I didn’t get a notification for the new chapter of tmo but I got it for terrifyingly innocent

Just thought I should let you know ❤️

I'm aware 😭 It's the app I use - it's glitchy sometimes. I've tried to see if I could fix it, but it just stays that way, mixing up names and photos. Hopefully, it doesn't cause too much confusion in the story . . .? I know notifications has been an issue for a lot of people as of late, and for that I apologize too :( I'm poking around and seeing if there are more efficient and reliable ways of tagging other than C&P vs typing out everyone's user . . . Hopefully, I find something soon!

+

Hello! I’m back and ready to review 🥰

Terrifyingly innocent

I liked the new chapters a lot! I like the dynamic with y/n and seungcheol a lot!

Two minus one

I am loving two minus one a lot! I felt like y/n and vernon were getting closer but now vernon is going on a date I-

AND WE ARE ASKING CHAN ON A “DATE”

Sorry about that I needed to scream my frustration for y/n

Seungcheol drabble

It was adorable!!!! I don’t have a lot of thoughts about it but 😫🥰

I’m going to send another ask about red velvet b-side ranking I’ll talk more there because this is long

I don't really have anything to say here other than I'm glad you're enjoying the story as it progresses!!! Any thoughts on RV's Japanese release, Wildside? They really went from pretty ballerinas to bada$$ thieves in the span of a week ahahaha

#sonje78 #whew!!! #glad that went through this time!!! #no rush in replying! #i know this was a lot in one go! #take your time~ #looking forward to hearing from you always 💙 #btw i realized i never really asked . . . #who's your bias in svt??? LOL

[axemetaphor]

im definitely not ripping off my friend by making a list of au ideas i have no siree //gonna slap this under a readmore cause i. well i say a lot. all of the time. i tried so hard to format this Good but tumblr fucked me up i am so sorry

so first-off i know i already have one WIP AU (Auckland) on ao3 so i wont talk about That one cause like. spoilers. i actualyl have it like 80% created so its likely gonna truly get finished for once and i dont wanna ruin shit

the other one ive posted about is something me and ben (catgirlrepublic) have worked on together its not at all close to done or anything but it's. a fun little crossover. Between jdate and my fuckinuhm. Original characters story “Untitled Villains Project”. the sketches of the comic version ive started is actually my pinned post 👉👈 its like the first chunk of the story, i think half of part 1? yea.

Tldr john fucking Somehow is able t oget into contact with a certain curious scientist from another reality who’d just love to study the Soy Sauce, most certainly not for her own nefarious purposes

John and Dave meet up with the scientist, her name is Boss, and her lab assistant, Toxic, and after a bit of a preliminary Vibe Check where john determines her trustworthy (which Dave doesnt agree with,) the two agree to be taken to the world UVP is set in. from there they stay in Boss’s lab (big old fucking abandoned military lab). John and Toxic are fast friends due to mutual love-of-chaos. John n Dave get to fuckin, camp out on an air mattress.

The day after they arrive, the two get split up, not exactly intentionally; big plot points of UVP are liek. Fueled by Boss sending Toxic to go fetch her “research materials,” which are usually important artifacts

Fuckin side note i guess i have to explain my dumb bullshit: Boss’s, uh, field of expertise so to speak is actually fckin, basically the scientific study of magic and superpowers n shit like that. This shit’s all real in that world. Toxic’s got fuckin superpowers, so do 4 other main characters, whatever. It’s got a bit to do with spirituality, iss Boss’s hypothesis. So she has Toxic fetch important artifacts that might have “energies” to them. The thing is actually way more fuckin complictated than that, this is just Boss’s initial hypothesis.

Motherfucking anyways. So Boss gives Toxic a job to do, and John get excited about how Cool that sounds, and ends up going with Toxic, leaving Boss and Dave alone. Neither is thrilled about this. But Dave and Boss get to have a bit of conversation (while Toxic and John are off bonding and having a good time) and come to a… mutual grudging understanding of some kind. They still dont like each other though lmao

Theres gonna be deeper shit going on but we havent sorted it out yet/tbh havent like Written For It in a while but i still like thinking about it a lot lol

Also pretty sure our endgame is john and dave steal toxic and bring them back with em lmao boss is kind of not nice and toxic would most certainly be better off in Undisclosed. Actually theyd fucking love it. Theyd become a local cryptid im sure. Undisclosed’s mothman is a teleporting spike baby.

I have. Another crossover AU that i might. Post something about for halloween? Maybe? If i have it finished?

Crosses over into, you guessed it, another one of my original-character projects. God, am i vain or something?

I promise this is just because i think blue and dave should get to team up to beat up some monsters

Quick briefing on my fuckinuh. Original character story, this one doesnt have a name (yet? Idk lol my work never actually goes anywhere sso who gives a shit). It centers around two grim reapers, Red (26, bi woman) and Blue (22, aroace agender asshole). In this reality or whatever, grim reapers function kind of like low-level office workers. They get told who’s going to die + when by some middle-management types, and upper management only involve themselves when punishment needs to be doled out. These Higher-Ups can be seen as analogous to Korrok; they’re decidedly not human, never were, and fucking terrifyingly powerful. Additionally, grim reapers are sort of .. designed to be “background noise” people. In reality theyre supernatural beings and, uh, look Real Fuckin Weird (the whole deal has a neon aesthetic im terrible at drawing uwu) but most humans just perceive them like extras in a movie. A body’s there but the camera’s not focused on it.

To the narrative: the shit starts when Red n Blue get relocated to Undisclosed. Relocation is something that just happens every now and then to reapers; they usually work in teams, but they get split up into different cities to avoid any strong bonds forming (a counter-union strategy from the Higher-Ups).

Red, Blue, John and Dave end up running into each other for the first time in a McDonalds where John n Dave are getting some 4am “hey, we just survived another horrific monster fight” celebration burgers. John and Dave are the only two people who can see how… strange Red and Blue are. Nobody else notices.

John unintentionally pisses Blue off, leading to Blue whacking him upside the head with a dildo bat. They all four get kicked out of McDonald’s. Dave and Red both are less than thrilled

Blue and John end up resolving their differences, somehow. Red and Dave briefly bond over their dumbass best friends being, well, dumbasses. They all part ways amicably.

somehow-or-other (idk yet) they end up running into each other a few more times, and eventually john invites them over to his place, and the four (plus Amy now!) get to know each other a little better

while there, Blue gets a text about some guy who's gonna die and John offers to drive them to where that's gonna go down. they take him up on the offer and get to have a bit of one-on-one conversation

after that ordeal though Blue has had Enough of people and bails, leaving John to head home alone

theres a sort of mirror-development going on with the five of em. Red, John, and Amy would all like everyone to get along, though theyre a bit tentative about it (John moreso than the other two, actually, jsut cause. well Red n Blue could still be Sauce Monsters). Dave and Blue on the other hand do Not like people enough for this shit, and Dave's not unconvinced theyre Sauce Monsters. he will not trust them until proven he should

the story's kinda nebulous but i got an idea for some Shit going down that involves both Sauce Monsters and also the Higher-Ups to have some fuckin absolute chaos go down.

Oops! All Trans

Everybody is transgender. Everyone

Ive actually workshopped this one both with ben (catgirlrepublic) and ghost (ghost-wannabe) lmao its a fun lil concept ive had from the get-go cause i mean. What’s an internet tran gonna do other than hit all their favourite media with the Everyone’s Trans beam

Dave transitioned post-high school and faked his death for it. People go missing in Undisclosed all the damned time, after all. He moved to the next city over, transitioned fully, then came back as a completely new man. Yes i know this doesnt exactly fit with the “everyone knows David from high school” thing alright, hush.

Anytime anyone brings up John’s old best friend (pre-transition Dave) John throws an entire fit like an overdramatic grieving widow. Full-on sobbing “why would you bring her up?! I miss her so much—” to the point that people just stop bringing up because Jesus Christ That Sure Is Uncomfortable KJHGFDS.

This is a scheme he and Dave came up with prior to Dave leaving, though Dave hadnt exactly anticipated John putting on this much of a performance about it— but it’s stopped Dave from ever having tto hear his deadname again, so hey.

Amy transitioned sometime in middle school/early high school. Her family was super supportive and loved her a ton and most people just know her as Amy. she was super shy her whole life really so. Yeah. people just dont think to bring it up lmao also i Feel Like big jim would absolutely wallop anyone who gave her trouble of any kind

John’s nonbinary (genderfluid specifically) and not exactly Interested in transitioning ? like hes fine with how he is. mostly.

he came out to Dave in high school but hes not out to anyone else exactly. Maybe his bandmates. Probably any other trans person in Undisclosed knows, too, cause theyre safe to tell lmao. Johns mostly a “he/him out of convenience” kinda nb who’s cool with any pronouns but does prefer they/them most. Dave and Amy use they/them when the trio are alone

Also this is a totally self-indulgent caveat that i think would be great, Dave’s actually agender but because he's transmasc and transitioned when he thought there were really only two options, and being Boy at least felt less weird than being Girl, he just kind of assumed he was a dude. It’s only through a lot of (like fucking years and years hes probably in his 30s/40s when he puts 2 and 2 together on this one) talks about gender with John that he realizes he actually feels like No Gender. Masc aesthetic with none gender.

I Just Think It’d Be Neat Is All Okay

Also Amy came out to Dave about being trans early on in them seeing each other and his response was to get very nervous before blurting out “me too” and then just being too embarrassed to talk about it for the rest of the day. Hes got a lot of hangups on talking about it actually it takes years for him to get comfortable in that

by contrast when Amy comes out to John about it his response is to yell “EYYY ME TOO” and give her a big ol hug lmao

I think itd be neatt if Amy ran a like. Transfem help/advice blog on tumblr. Kind of helped-with by John who can give her transfem nb insight for certain asks. I also just think that would be neat.

Cowboy AU - i put this one last cause its got drawings to it actually. Theyll be at the bottom

Basically just. Hey you ever watched a western. I think they look neat

This is another one me n ben have come up with lol

The soy sauce and all that shit still exist, im not sure where korrok fits in yet but ill figure it out

Theres no real like solid narrative yet ? but heres the barebones of everybody’s arcs.

John

Johns an absolute troublemaker, Of Course. Hes wanted in several towns for absolutely stupid shit. Hes a loner who shows up, causes chaos, gets drunk, does some drugs, runs away if people get too mad at him

He definitely had the same kind of deal with the soy sauce as in canon— he was at some kind of party, somebody offered it, he took it cause why the fuck wouldnt he, now he can see monsters and shit

Hes kind of a mooch also. Like. dont let him stay in your barn man he’ll never fucking leave and drink all your booze.

He runs into Dave when they happen to just, cross paths in the same town. the bullshit John stirs up ends up involving Dave in a way that makes it seem like it's his fault too, and they both get run out of town

after that he just tags along after Dave. hes decided this guy's Cool he wants to stick around. Dave is pissed at first, but not enough to shoot him or anything, and eventually, John grows on him

Dave

Dave also is a loner but unlike John hes simply so fucking awkward and bad with people. He doesnt feel like he belongs anywhere so he just travels

He’s the stereotypical Lone Ranger tbh. He wanders from town to town, solving their problems, though hed deny its out of any moral obligation (it kinda is, a little bit, tbh. He does like feeling useful). He shows up, fixes things, leaves. He's kind of a legend but most people think he's hiding something dark. other people jsut know him as that guy who farted real loud in the middle of the saloon and promptly skipped town out of sheer embarrassment. you know how it goes with Dave

He ends up involved with the Soy Sauce when a snake (not Actually a snake,) bites him. The snake’s more like the wig-monsters, really. Anyway, it injects him with the soy sauce, he fucking trips balls in the middle of the desert, he can see monsters now

He runs into John and shit goes tits-up, as said, but they become traveling buddies after that. he'd never say so, but he's glad for the company, actually. it's nice. hes not used to companionship but he feels a strange kind of easiness hanging out with John....

not sure how the Monster Dave concept will like fit in to this reality but like. trust me i want it in here. I'll Figure It Out.

Amy

Amy’s been living in a town John and Dave end up passing through and she is very curious about these two new Handsome Strangers who claim to fight monsters and just kinda. Persistently tags along til they let her join for real

Her family’s all dead, unfortunately, just like in canon, and she’s been living alone for a few years before meeting John n Dave. she had nothing left in that town to stay for, she'd been fantasizing about escaping on wild adventures for a long time and this felt a little like a dream come true. (Dave still gives her a spiel about how Difficult it is, but really, her fantasies were pretty grounded-in-reality already. i jsut think thats how she is, yknow?)

Shes the first person to react to the whole “we see monsters” shit with a kind of “oh, okay. neat” kind of response lmao

John and Dave fix whatever the fuck is up with her town (maybe that’s where the Korrok shit can fit, who knows) and Amy ends up being integral to that. After, she insists they take her with them because “they need her now” and Dave just cant really say no. John too is very much "the more the merrier!" and hes actually glad to have another person along he loves people lmao

At the start she has long hair but after she joins them she chops it short with a knife for convenience

also she still is an amputee. justt. idk. it was a wagon/stagecoach accident rather than a car accident lmao. just to clarify since i hadnt mentioned it, i wouldnt rob her of her ghost hand or yknow. all of the significance to her character that Missing A Hand has. although also now im going to have to research what was used as painkillers way-back-when, but im betting shes still got, like, her pain pills, they probably had those, maybe i wouldnt have to try too hard there. old timey medicine could be WACK though,

Shitload

Yeah hes in tthis shit mostly cause i liked designing his cowboy self lmao

Hes a kid (like 16, 17, technically i think in those days that was more Young Man than Kid but whatever. Hes Young i mean.) who got possessed by the Worms out in the desert and, by his family’s perception, just went missing!

Hes also a wanderer, but he ended up at the same town john and dave met in, at that same time, and starts following them after, already aware of who/what they are.

He keeps his face covered 24/7. actually he covers a Majority of his self for reasons. kinda want him to be a slightly more horrifying Worm Entity rather than human idk,

I kinda dont have much for this boy yet sorry Shitload

images !

with some editing notes for me cause im doing a very specific aesthetic with this lmao. i might change some lil details/colours though ...... idk

im also kinda 🤔 about shitload's colour palette. i want things assoicated w the sauce to be black'n'red predominantly but i think his palette might mirror dave's too closely. also im working on a korrok design i jsut am too busy to draw it now

#jdate #john dies at the end #aus #erh. tthe hell do i tag this as #rambles.txt #long post #well let me know if youd wanna hear more or. or something #send an ask. or whatever #yaknow #:jazz hands:

[alirhi]

I don't even know where half of this came from XD

Here's another chunk of that weird BuckyNat fic. I really should probably give it a title at some point... maybe.

Anyway, just so we're clear here... Warnings! 18+ There is smut in this one! sorta lazy smut lol I stalled out and cut partway through, but it's there. (sorry. I haven't written explicit sex in years) Also some angst and a random Stucky reference that kinda wrote itself in there

Down here...

As Bucky set her down, sprawled across her bed, the full implications of what he'd said finally sank in and she stopped him with a hand on his chest, pushing him back. "I never said I would have sex with you."

"That's true," he agreed with a smirk, grabbing her wrist and pressing a wet, open-mouthed kiss over the vein. "You didn't. And I didn't ask. So..." Never taking his eyes off of hers, he nipped her wrist and purred, "Do you wanna have sex with me?"

Charming. Bastard. She felt his tongue against her skin and had to hold her breath to stop herself from whimpering. There were so many reasons this would be a bad idea; they weren't blood-related, but they were supposed to be siblings, Bucky was a wounded soldier who'd just gotten home from an overseas field hospital, they didn't even really know each other... But then his lips were on hers and his tongue was sliding into her mouth and all of the logical, sane responses she could have come up with were just gone. All Natasha wanted was for the painfully gorgeous man on top of her to keep touching her.

"Fuck me, Bucky," she whispered, clinging to him as his metal hand slowly drifted, feather-light, down her body.

He chuckled, nipping her neck, and promised in a low rumble that set her body on fire, "We'll get there, doll. Eventually."

Nat grabbed his hand, pulling up up to her face. She nipped at one shiny steel fingertip and then pressed his palm to her cheek, nuzzling it. "Can you feel anything?"

"Not really," he admitted, stroking her cheek with his thumb. "There are pressure sensors that let me know when I'm touching something or how hard I'm gripping, but..." He freed his left hand from her grip and used it to brace himself up while he brought the other up to brush his thumb over her lips. When she bit him, he smiled. "It's not like this; not like real human contact."

His hand trailed down, sliding over her breasts, down her torso, to settle between her legs. "If I wanna feel your warmth, your skin, how deliciously wet you are..." One finger slipped effortlessly inside her, then a second as Bucky mumbled, "Left hand is useless."

Moaning softly as she felt his fingers curl and scissor inside her, Nat bucked her hips up and ran one hand up and down the hard metal arm still bracing him up over her. "I still think it's kinda hot." His thumb brushed over her clit and she whimpered. "Bucky...!"

"Hmmm?" The smirk on his face made her want to cry; he was so beautiful, and on the surface so perfectly in control... But there was a shadow behind those piercing blue eyes that told her he wasn't even fully there in the room with her. Something was on his mind, something that made him hold himself back even as he kept pushing her forward.

It was hard to think clearly enough to truly read him - fuuuuck he was good with his fingers! - but by the time he moved down and buried his face between her legs, one thought finally made its way to the surface: He was deflecting. Whatever it was, it was eating at him but he didn't want to talk about it, so he was using sex to keep his inquisitive stepsister from asking.

"Bucky, do you even want me?"

He stopped and looked up at her, licking his wet lips absently. The look of confusion that crossed his gorgeous face made her wonder for a split second if she'd read him wrong, but then it faded to a sort of vaguely amused resignation and he nodded, pressing a kiss to the tender flesh just below her navel. "Yes. Yeah, I really do."

That was good enough for the moment. With a little half-smile, she tugged him up for a kiss and whispered against his lips, "Then be here with me." Whatever was bugging him, she'd get it out of him after.

Bucky struggled, though he did his best not to let Nat see it. He had the most unsettling feeling that she could see right through him, but mercifully, she didn't stop him again. They had a minor scare when they heard the front door open and realized they'd lost track of time, but Bucky hastily clamped his metal hand over Nat's mouth and waited. Their parents' voices got lower as they came up the stairs, and he just barely heard his mother musing aloud to her husband, "They must already be asleep."

A door closed down the hall, cutting off their barely-audible conversation, and both Bucky and Natasha heaved sighs of relief. Figuring it was best not to push their luck, he started to pull out, but Nat stopped him with both long legs wrapped tight around his waist. With a grin he could just barely see in the dark, she whispered, "You're not going anywhere."

He glanced at the door, straining to hear every tiny sound, any indication that they were about to be caught. There was nothing. The looming threat of it was oddly exciting; smirking, he leaned down and murmured against her ear, "Think you can stay quiet for me, sweetheart?"

Her hand closed around his left wrist and squeezed as her lips brushed his ear and she purred, "I think you can make me."

It took him about half a second to figure out what she meant, and then his metal hand closed around her throat. He made sure to keep his grip light, to avoid actually hurting her, but every time she failed to keep her voice down as he pounded her into the mattress, he squeezed just a little harder for a second.

He had to bury his face between her breasts to muffle his own groans as he came deep inside her a few minutes later.

"Oh, fuck..." Nat's voice was raspy from the abuse her throat had taken as Bucky collapsed beside her and she immediately curled into him. "That was... fuck, Bucky, that was amazing!"

"You liked that?" Even as he held her close, metal arm curling around her protectively, he gaped at her. He'd thought he was psychotic, getting off on controlling her like that, but... she liked it, too?

"Pretty sure the last two times I came were just from you choking me," she half-joked, nuzzling his chest. "So... yeah."

"Good to know, I guess."

"Hey..." She was just as tired as he was; with a little grunt from the effort of moving, she rocked up onto her elbow and stared down at him. "What's wrong?"

Bucky rolled his eyes. "You're interrogating me now?"

"Tactically, it makes sense. You're as vulnerable as you're ever getting." She smiled and kissed his cheek. "But no, I'm not interrogating you. I care. What's wrong?"

"You are going to make a terrifyingly good spy, Nat. Jesus..."

"That's the goal. Now talk to me."

"I'm broken." He didn't even have to look at her; he could feel her perplexed, curious stare. Keeping his gaze locked firmly on the ceiling, he told her flatly, "I could have stayed overseas. I was supposed to. Not to fight, but to help in the lab, with the..." He lifted his hand and waved it a little so she'd know what he meant. "With the tech. But I couldn't take being there after..." Jaw tightening, he trailed off and turned his face away from her.

Nat didn't let him. With a gentle hand on his jaw, she forced him to face her again, though she couldn't make him look directly at her. "You're not broken, Bucky. You've been through Hell. I wouldn't want to stay, either. As cool as the new bionic arm thing is, it's gotta-"

"That's not why." Shrugging, Bucky glanced at his hand and added, "I mean, yeah, it's taking a lot of getting used to, but the arm's not why..."

She winced, sitting up and folding his metal hand between both of her own. "You lost someone." The pain he was radiating, so strong it was clearly visible on his face even in the dark, told her she was right long before he reluctantly nodded. "Who?"

"...His name was Steve," he told her after a long moment, voice thick with grief and tears he fought not to shed. "He saved my life over there, twice... And he died in my arms."

"Oh." Well. She'd read that situation a bit wrong, hadn't she? "I'm sorry, I thought... Well, it doesn't matter. Bucky, I'm so sorry. That's awful."

"You thought right, Nat," was his gruff reply as he sat up and started scanning the shadows for his clothes. "I was - am - in love with him."

Natasha sat back on her heels, stunned. Unsure what to do or say, all that came out as she flicked the light on for him was a soft, confused, "Oh."

[meowsterchief-a]

okay. first thoughts about halo paramount under the cut. i’m also gonna make a second additional post about my thoughts on chief’s characterisation which i’ll link here.

i really Really liked the madrigal colony (while it lasted lol) — seeing the diversity in there was really nice (and by extension the diversity in the UNSC side of things). also having a poc lead?? loving that so far, too. they really didn’t pull their punches with the brutality of the covenant. also shout out to kwan ha for keeping a level head as much as she did like girl, you’re amazing. 

i also enjoyed how the spartans moved and worked in combat. the switch from cgi to acting is jarring and the actors are noticeably trying their best to move smoothly in the mjolnir armour but i enjoyed that the spartans actually feel like supersoldiers. not just on the battlefield but off it too; the shots of silver team moving with the UNSC to secure chief — the height difference, the way the marines part to get out of their way, the way they move even. the strength of the spartans when one impaled an elite and lifted them into the air?? this is the good kush give me More!!!

THE SANGHELI DON'T HAVE A FUCKING HOLE UNDER THEIR MANDIBLES NOW!!!!! YESS!!!!!! thank fuckin god for that redesign lmao! it's interesting to see what they've done with their skin texture and also the general anatomy? feels strange because im so used to halo games’ depiction of them, but i honestly think the redesign is for the best. also love the look of the convenant armour and weapons so far. also seeing how terrifyingly strong the sangheli are too like that one elite smacking a jeep over like a potato sack? holy shit, hell yeah bro that’s what i’m here for!!!

i'm intrigued and honestly kinda happy about the human teen (??) mercy has in bottom storage?? like Yeah, finally the prophets figured out that having a human helper is, in fact, gonna be Incredibly useful for messing with forerunner (at least im assuming it's forerunner) tech. the costume design is certainly... i'll say it's Interesting for now. but i am definitely curious to see how things play out with all that.

that said... da masta chef... i like him :) absolutely loving the armour design, it's gorgeous. very funny to see the HUD, love it. REALLY loved seeing the energy shields flare up when anything impacted the armour. as for chief himself, i actually. Liking what pablo's doing for him so far; i've seen a couple of comments and interviews where he talks about how he's portraying chief and honestly? it shows, imo. there Are a few nitpicks i have, namely chief's initial interactions with kwan ha (i personally think he'd have at least said Something to her and wouldn't have been as cold/distant/professional as he was but i get why things planned out that way). that aside, i'm... honestly not upset about the helmet coming off. i'm a little like... not uncomfy but just? hm. about it, but i think it's actually a good thing. imo it was a good plot and character point even if the pacing of when it happened was a little iffy.

something i Really liked about the helmet removal scene is just how controlled pablo's expression was. like YESSSS, That's The Good Kush!!!!! very funny that he's so tan (though i'll reserve judgement on this since we don't know how spartans train and how long they're out of armour for) and has literally zero (0) scars on his face but that's just a tiny nitpick. also a lil sad about the lack of freckles but again, just a cosmetic nitpick. another nitpick i've got is that i feel that pablo's voice was... too emotional? his tone could've been more controlled when speaking to halsey about the Memories and to kwan ha during that tense standoff. but that's just a nitpick, and i think it's appropriate given like, silver timeline worldbuilding wrt what's going on with the spartans.

whew. with all that out of the way... on to my thoughts about silver timeline and epsiode 1 in general!

so. the first thing i've got to say is that i think it's really important that people understand that — like the showrunners said — they didn't look at and aren't following the games. is that a good thing? maybe, maybe not — i can see the pros and cons of it. but i don't think it's fair to compare silver timeline to canon halo timeline because they really are two entirely separate worlds/timelines.

so here's my thoughts on things thus far.

i'll start with the spartan program.

i'm not entirely sure how to feel about silver timeline's spartans yet. i like that halsey's orders supersede the UNSC's (at least it seems that way), Dr Mom Warcrimes strikes again! however, with how silver team has had their memories of their childhood before the spartan program locked... it's definitely a different approach to the spartan program but i'm really hoping the showrunners have a good explanation for it because from my perspective it kind of. undermines like, the purpose of the program? like, Yes the program was completely unethical. Yes, the iis were kidnapped and brainwashed and brutally trained and basically experimented on to become child super soldiers, yes, but they were Told that they were chosen because they were The Best humanity had to offer. they're constantly upheld as the Peak of humanity, The Best™. the change in their origins feels kinda unnecessary; I'd almost compare it to the whole Control Chip plot point in tcw. the memory suppression removes what little agency the spartans have and i don't think this change is for the better.

this also ties into the character changes to halsey, and especially to parangosky. so far, the way halsey's been portrayed feels like a poor adaptation. she lacks the assertiveness and ego/hubris of her canon counterpart which... that's an Incredibly important part of not only the creation of the spartan program but also cortana's creation. halsey's always had a “long leash” to commit war crimes because of her genius. she's indispensable to the UNSC. it doesn't feel like that's the case here. on that note, parangosky being concerned with morals and legality is... Strange considering. ONI. but also considering that parangosky has even less ethical and moral stances than halsey in the books. i get why these changes have been made but i'm not sure if they're the best way to adapt the source material. only future episodes will tell.

as for jacob and miranda keyes, i'm gonna say that i tentatively like what's going on with them and i'm curious to see how things go.

overall, i'm really enjoying what i've seen. my only issue so far is, in essence, the origins and development of silver timeline's spartan program. because A Lot of of my nitpicks and uncertainty about the worldbuilding + adaptation of source material stems from there. by changing the origins of the spartan program, you change A Lot about the characters associated with it and by extension, the world. so far, i can't say i approve of the changes made wrt that but i'm willing to roll with things and i'm curious to see how the show develops from here.

#halo paramount spoilers #halo spoilers #john halo rambles #long post

[kewltie]

i,,, had a thought what if izuku thought he couldn't give kasumi the best kind of future for her so when she had just turned two, izuku met up Katsuki's parents at their house and asked them to take care of her and quietly disappeared so katsuki ends up being a new up and coming hero with a baby girl on the side.

kasumi is raised in the Bakugou household and is love fiercely and spoiled atrociously her grandparents, daddy, and his friends. she got everything a girl can ask for but in the back of her head there's a fuzzy memory of green eyed man and his gentle low voice when he called out her name.  she loves daddy above all even when he's being very annoying and overbearing because Kasumi is Daddy's precious princess and very very much like him as everyone says but when she looks in the mirror she sees blond hair, a perfect face and smile that resembles daddy but her eyes are the color of someone's else. Someone who is long gone from her memories, but they live in each breath she take. Live in the green hue of her eyes.

she doesnt know this person name but she know who he is. her other parent, the one who had abandoned her. she thinks he's a coward and weak for giving her up. she hates him so she wants to find him one day and yell at him and tell him that he's horrible HOW COULD HE LEAVE HER?? DIDNT HE LOVE HER?!

Izuku had carried kasumi in his body for ten months and he had her in his arms, giggling and crying, for only 2yrs but he loves her with all he has. when he had handed Kasumi to mitsuki it felt like he was giving away a part of himself because she is his, his most precious treasure. he broke down crying afterward, like he had just ripped out his heart and given it away but he knows katsuki and his family would give her a better future and a happier life than he could ever do. this is for her, he told himself, but it doesnt stop the agonizing pain he felt. the pain never truly stopped even though he had moved halfway across the country so he doesnt give in to the urge to race back and beg the Bakugou to give Kasumi back to him. he can only watch her grow up in the public eyes as the little princess of the new no. 1 hero, ground zero, like a bystander in her life.

kasumi grew up as the darling of the hero community because she was an enigma to the world. A BABY SUDDENLY appearing out of nowhere and to the HOTTEST upcoming hero?? and he had her while he was in high school?! and WHERE WAS THE OTHER PARENT?! a hero single parenting at his age is absurd. it got the nation scandalized and fixated on katsuki and his baby since day one so kasumi heavily grew up under the spotlight and in the public eye. it didn't help that she was terrifyingly clever, beautiful, blunt, and a natural hellraiser just by being bakugou katsuki's daughter.

the public adore her and she kinda mostly tolerate them back because it can't be help that she's so cute and smart that ppl want to pay attention to her (that bakugou’ss arrogance and confident coming out) lol. every move she make and say is always on the news, she doesnt mind it. really. sometimes when she lets herself think about it, she wonder if HE is watching her on TV somewhere in the world. does he see how much she had grown up now? does he love the dress she's wearing? is he proud of her? is he regretting HOW HE COULD LEAVE SUCH A PERFECT CHILD BEHIND? maybe all her achievements (the best in her class, athletics awards, ballet dancing and extracurricular activities she'd picked up and bested everyone else at) is her way of drawing attention to herself, maybe if she's SHOW EVERYONE SHE'S TRULY THE BEST,,, he'll come back to see her one day. the thing is kasumi is perfectly happy with her life. daddy is the best thing EVER and she loves him so, so much because that she never feels like she's a burden or lacking of anything but even his love isn't enough to fill that empty void in her, the 2yrs that she’d spent with that person.

all the while izuku tunes to the TV everyday in hope of getting a glimpse of her somehow, cut magazines and news clippings of her, and keeps track of her life through pieces of reporting because even if he isn't in her life, he wants to know what's going on in it and if she's happy at all. he'd built an entire shrine devoted to kasumi in his bedroom. there are pictures and news/magazine clippings of her on his walls. any mentions of her from katsuki or others, he'll watch the vid over and over again till his eyes are tired and he can repeat it word for word.  

for several years he had watch her from afar, but on her seven birthday, five years since he'd let her go, he was so WEAK with longing that he bought a plane ticket just to see her. EVEN IF IT'S ONLY A GLIMPSE OF HER WILL DO, TO BREATH THE SAME AIR AND HE'LL LEAVE AGAIN. that's all he wanted. izuku in disguise had lurked around the bakugou's household with hundreds of fans and reporters because it's the birthday of the ground zero's most precious PRINCESS and everybody wants a piece of her. izuku should have been in there with kasumi and the bakugous celebrating  her birthday instead of lurking outside like a creep but maybe that's true in another world. not now though.

in this world, he's just some weirdo stalker who obsessed with bakugou kasumi and her daddy as he waits outside to maybe see a glimpse of her at all. then he heard it, kasumi's boisterous giggles as she loudly proclaims she will magnanimously grace her fans with her presence.

"daddy, these people are obviously here for me," she scoffs, talking to an annoyed katsuki as they stroll out to the front yard. "I'll just say hi then i'll come back. stop worrying. you'll get even more grey hair and what will i do if you become uglier?" SHE'S SO BLUNT AND MEAN and izuku wanna cry because that's HIS BABY

he actually didn't even get to see her in person AT ALL because he ran the fuck away as soon as her heard her footsteps coming outside the bakugou's enormous home because he couldn't endure it. he knows if his eyes fall upon her person even once HE'LL BREAK DOWN AND never let her go again!

he can tell kasumi is lively, healthy, and clearly HAPPY with her life because katsuki had done right by her. izuku knew it was the right choice to leave kasumi to him and to hear that evidence so CLEARLY it was a relief and heartbreaking because it means that he was also right that he couldn't give her this. izuku quietly disappeared back to his life, never stop watching kasumi closely and once kasumi turned nine he decided it been long enough and she probably forgotten all about him and no longer caring about the disappointing parent who had abandoned her in a moment of weakness.

izuku moves closer to them. they're finally in the same city after seven years apart but it's not like kasumi nor katsuki knows that he is here at all. he tries to keep a low unassuming profile and promised to himself that he’ll never approach kasumi or katsuki at all. he manages to keep that promise for a year. then kasumi turns ten and HIJACKS katsuki's press conference to declares in front of hundred flashing cameras that, "my daddy is getting old and lonely and i cant be with him always so i'll be on the look out for good spouse for him :3c!" as katsuki roars in the background lol.

izuku was heartbroken in a diff kind of way compare to when he had given kasumi away because this is katsuki and kasumi, the two people he loves the most, finally moving on without him. katsuki will have a new mate and kasumi will have another parent that isn't HIM. he's happy but also very, very sad.

this is where like FATE OR SOME BULLSHIT because izuku managed to avoid the two of them for an entire year but ~things~ happens and he accidentally bumps into kasumi and KASUMI IS TOTALLY CHARMED by this strange quirkless nervous man who looks at her like she's his entire world. shes like ahh,,, maybe i should introduce him to daddy as a potential mate? not knowing that the man she feels an inexplicably drawn/attached to is actually her papa. bakudeku MEETING AGAIN AFTER 10 YEARS and yea, SHENANIGANS, MISUNDERSTANDING, SO MUCH DRAMA and also KASUMI lol
